How Businesses can Prepare for the Worst - Even a Zombie Apocalypse!
By: Nik Williams, MD at information management company Shredall SDS Group
Businesses of all shapes and sizes face adversity, whether it's securing investment, employing highly skilled staff or navigating competitive industries. While working in different sectors can also bring additional challenges, one thing that all SMEs can agree on is that having secure premises is a business priority. However, physical security, which comprises everything that would stop unwanted visitors from getting their hands on your company's equipment or private information, is increasingly being neglected in favour of cybersecurity measures. This is clearly a very important security measure, given that UK businesses are attacked online every 2.5 minutes; nevertheless, defending your business from break-ins and thefts should always be a consideration, even for small businesses, because of the potentially disastrous consequences of losing sensitive information kept on paper, hard drives and computers.
At Shredall SDS Group we have a range of measures to protect our facilities and client data - and this got us thinking, what would happen in the event of a zombie attack? It's something that we've all imagined - whether it could actually happen is another matter! While we are unlikely to ever experience the reality of an outbreak of the undead, preparing for the worst has always been a valuable business exercise - and so we decided it would be interesting to look into which locations would be the most secure during a fully-fledged assault by the walking dead. With such tight security measures in place, these sites should serve as inspiration for any business looking to prevent anyone - living or dead - from getting in. Here are the three sites in the world that would give people inside the best chances of surviving an attack by hordes of the undead.
The Pentagon, US
As the home of the USA's Department of Defence, the Pentagon is where some of the country's most secretive plans are drawn up. It is therefore imperative that it remains secure in the event of any form of attack and is already ahead of the curve when it comes to preparing for zombies having had a plan in place since 2011!
Known as CONPLAN 8888-11, the strategy aims to provide a contingency plan in the event of attack by an outbreak of flesh-eating undead. It includes ideas of how to deal with vegetarian zombies (think graaaainsss rather than braaaiiinnnss) and alien zombies brought to Earth by an extraterrestrial life form.
While this plan was written as a training exercise for young recruits, the military's motto of 'always be prepared' is certainly not lost on those working at the Pentagon. It is one of the most heavily guarded buildings in the world, with measures in place to guard against chemical and nuclear attacks. Armed guards are present around every corner and security cameras are installed throughout the complex, ensuring anyone trying to get in - living or dead - is kept under watch.
Bahnhof Underground Data Centre, Stockholm, Sweden
This underground facility is a world leader in physical security. Known as the Bahnhof Underground Data Centre, this state-of-the-art facility situated 100 ft underground inside a Swedish bunker was built to prepare for Cold War nuclear annihilation. While this fortunately never occurred, it's physical defences would be just as effective in a zombie apocalypse, or even simply an attempted physical breach.
For example, the building can only be accessed in one way- a tunnel which leads to a 16-inch thick armoured door which is effectively impenetrable. Not only would zombies hordes be kept at bay by its thorough defences, anyone trying to steal valuable equipment or information would also be out of luck.
Secondly, the data centre would allow anyone inside to communicate with the outside world at ease, potentially negotiating a rescue or for resources to be brought in. The site is kept cool by a cooling system powered by the chilly mountain air and local water systems, meaning the servers could be maintained and utilised for many years.
Both of these measures are applicable to a range of industries. Investing in suitable defences is best practice, whether it's fencing, gates or locks. Likewise, having a plan B if systems go down is always a good idea. Looking into servers and backup generators will help your business keep its most valuable information safe in the event of foul-play.
Svalbard seed vault, Norway
One of the stranger locations on the list, the Svalbard seed vault is located on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen in the Arctic Svalbard archipelago. Although not as heavily defended as other buildings, its remoteness gives it an advantage over other sites affected by hordes of the undead.
Located about 1,300 kilometres from the North Pole, it would be extremely difficult to reach on foot. Moreover, the extremely cold weather would slow down any zombie trying to reach it, giving you enough time to escape if need be (unless they're white walkers, in which case your chances would be slim).
The Svalbard seed vault also has the advantage of having been designed with the worst case scenario in mind. Scientists from around the world have sent a range of crop seeds that would enable the planet to reboot in the event of a global disaster. With over 930,000 samples of different seeds and the right equipment, anyone inside could grow the necessary crops to survive a zombie apocalypse. The added bonus is that if the cooling system fails, the seeds could still remain viable for hundreds of years, allowing anyone inside to repopulate the Earth and eventually fight back.
How would your business fare in the event of a zombie attack?
We asked a number of UK businesses about what physical security measures they have that would keep them safe in a zombie apocalypse. Here's what they said:
Jack Robson, Partnership Executive at Last Night of Freedom
"Our security protocol in the event of a Zombie Outbreak is something we take VERY seriously here at Last Night of Freedom. We have a precisely coordinated plan which is ready to go once the inevitable outbreak does happen and we have to act quickly.
Our office layout is our greatest strength as we only have two entry points (not including fire exits) which are our main entrance and warehouse door. We also have roller shutters on our windows and cameras positions both internally and externally. As for protection, we have a warehouse full of willy-shaped products which can be doubled up as blunt force weapons.
We dare any horde of the undead to try and get us."
Nicholas Harding, CEO at Lending Works
The physical security of our systems is something we place enormous value on at Lending Works, and there were some essential boxes to tick when choosing our present location. In this regard, we've planned for every eventuality and worst-case scenario – even a zombie apocalypse! Imagine a world where civilisation and the human race are under threat from these evil reincarnations, and pockets of survivors are desperately seeking a place to hide. Well, look no further than 60 Gray's Inn Road.
Good luck to these zombie folks if they try to get through the building's robust, double front doors, which are equipped with state-of-the-art fingerprint technology. Even if they do manage that, let's hope for their sake that they have the intelligence to cobble together the right key fob to get through the second entrance to the building (assuming Security hasn't sent them on their way already). And even if they do manage this seemingly-impossible feat, well, next in wait is the protection afforded to the Lending Works office itself – better known as Fort Knox. Unless they've made friends with a locksmith, they won't be getting through our front door (which is always locked when unoccupied) in a hurry, and they'll need good medical insurance if they try and barge through our reinforced windows. So we suggest you make yourself comfortable in our office alongside our safe-as-houses IT systems, put the kettle on, and wait for all that zombie kerfuffle to run its course.
Michael Barker, Chief Brand Officer at Garment Quarter
First things first, you think we're getting caught out like that? Get real. Grow up. At the first hint of zombies, the faintest whiff of the apocalypse, it's computers off at the wall, lights out, straight to the Outer Hebrides. See ya later.
For the sake of this, let's say that somehow we get caught out. Here's how it's going to go down. Food-wise, we're not in the strongest position. I've just checked the fridge and we've got half a tub of Greek yogurt and 5 Heineken's in there. Absolutely no non-perishable goods. Not a borlotti bean between us. So on that front, I guess we're catching stray pigeons in a net and hoping that they aren't infected with the deadly zombie virus. A real roll of the dice.
I'll tell you what we have got though. Moxie. Reams of the stuff. An embarrassment of moxie. And thousands of luxury designer garments and accessories at great prices. And passcodes. Incredibly secure passcodes. Just this morning we tried to get into the office, couldn't get the doors open. Too secure for their own good. An actual locksmith had to be called. So unless the zombies who make their way to our office doors were cobblers or carpenters before they got large chunks of their flesh eaten and turned feral, we should be alright.
Tom Craig, Owner of Impression Digital
While a zombie apocalypse is, it's fair to say, pretty unlikely, we do believe safety is an important consideration for all businesses and have ourselves invested in training and equipment to keep our colleagues safe. For example, a number of our colleagues are first aid trained, fire safety trained and our building has been assessed against risks to ensure it's as safe as possible.
Sharing out responsibility for our business' physical security measures has been really beneficial. We're fortunate to have a team of colleagues who all want to progress and thrive, so we provide a lot of opportunities for training and things like first aid and fire safety were really popular. Plus, it never hurts to have staff with first aid training during a zombie apocalypse!
Seb Burchell, Outreach and PR Manager at Assured Pharmacy
"When the Winchester is not at hand, where will be safe....At my 5th story office in Wilsmlow, Cheshire you have to have a fob to get in the building - if the zombies develop some sort of Oceans Eleven style of intelligence then a concierge is at hand to fend them over...Alan's stacked so that should give us some time. Thankfully multiple CCTV cameras are present which should give us some insight in tracking their movements. When it comes to quick escape routes if they break through two heavy duty doors, the office is parallel to a car park a few metres jump down through 5 spacious windows. Alternatively, we could give them the slip and scale down a relatively unused fire escape and wait for all of this to blow over…"

One of the best things about our current digital age is that girls seem much more willing to expose themselves online. In bygone ages, the best you'd ever get to see would be polaroids of a girlfriend being shown around by the creepy workmate or "Reader's Wives" in the lower quality porn mags. We are spoilt today when even the hottest teen is quite happy to show of her breasts in a naughty selfshot photo!

As anyone who has run a business knows, adding a new location is like doing a thousand piece jigsaw while piloting an airplane. Well this year we count ourselves blessed, because the last (most important!) piece of our Dewey location puzzle just happened to be in the right place at the right time; a talented, experienced, and sunny dog grooming veteran, a cherished thing in this area! We are excited to introduce Anne King, the newest addition to the Hillside family, who is now co-pilot for our new Boutique Dog Salon at the corner of 169 and 69 in Dewey, Arizona. Join us for the Dewey Dog Party: Hillside Grand Opening on December 1st from 9am-3pm!
Anne has been a lifelong animal lover. Born and raised on a dairy farm in Wisconsin, caring for and wrangling four legged friends has always been a part of her life. So it was only natural that in school she would actively continue her education in programs like Future Farmers of America and Farmer Union Junior.
After school, Anne's life expanded, earning her the fond nickname from her father, "Gypsy," due to her love for new places and wayward demeanor. A former military wife and traveler, she has lived everywhere from Oklahoma and Dallas, Texas to Germany and Idaho.
While living in Dallas in 2008, Anne had the goal to get her foot in the door in the animal industry. Little did she know that life would fling her head first in that direction. After accepting a position as an entry level dog bather at a chain pet store, Anne became grooming salon manager within just 1 year! Anne's following birthday also offered another affirmation with the chance meeting of her future husband during a karaoke celebration. Also an avid animal lover and former dog trainer, it seemed they were moving in similar directions in life.
Years later, Anne accepted a position within the company in Idaho, but soon became restless in the corporate atmosphere. Not wanting to leave her work with furry friends, she accepted a grooming position in a local animal rescue clinic called Scraps, just over the Washington border. "I loved working with animals in need, comforting them with baths after sometimes harrowing ordeals was very fulfilling. Seeing the change in personality and light in their eyes after a good dematting and shave made it all worth it. It is amazing how life changing a simple groom can be for a dog. Not only did it increase their chances of adoption, but it also afforded them a lot more affection from those around them. " she shared.
Before and Afters of Anne's Canine Clients at
HillsideCanine Resort and Spa, Dewey!
Just this month, Anne, her two children, husband, and two dogs made one last big move after selling their Idaho home, and settling down in Chino Valley. As fate would have it, her move to the area lined up perfectly with the expansion of our Resort and Spa, just a short trip away in Dewey! Hillside owner Jennifer and Anne have been working together closely since our soft opening this month to perfect the area's first boutique dog salon at the corner of Hwy 169 and 69. Please join us for our grand opening tomorrow, December 1st from 9am-3pm for games, refreshments, and free nail trims!

Man puts $500 BOUNTY on ICE agents and is now regretting it
(National Sentinel) Lunacy: As the angry Left continues to push the boundaries of acceptable behavior when it comes to engaging in their First Amendment right to 'redress grievances' the have with ICE, the Trump administration is making it very clear what those boundaries are.
And it doesn't include placing bounties on their heads.
"According to NBC News, a man who lives near Boston was arrested after he promised to pay cash to anyone who would murder a federal immigration enforcement agent," Conservative Tribune reported.
The site noted further:
It's no secret that many Democrats want to disband the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. One unhinged leftist in New York, however, took the anti-ICE hatred to a whole new level: He threatened to kill ICE agents.
It apparently didn't occur to the radical that boasting about your intentions on Twitter is a sure-fire way to get noticed.
Because Trump Derangement Syndrome?
"Brandon Ziobrowski, 33, of Cambridge, Massachusetts, was arrested Thursday morning after posting on Twitter in July that he would give $500 to anyone who would kill an Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent," NBC reported.
The illegal threat has since been removed from Twitter, but the U.S. District Court of Massachusetts provided federal agents with a screenshot of the tweet.
Here it is:
"I am broke but I will scrounge and literally give $500 to anyone who kills and ice agent. @me seriously who else can pledge get in on this let's make it work," Ziobrowski tweeted.
This idiot has a history of making such threats, apparently. Conservative Tribune noted further:
It is apparently not the first time the man has made violent threats against public officials. The indictment against Ziobrowski explained that he had also bragged about wanting to cut Republican Sen. John McCain's throat.
His anger on Twitter then shifted to law enforcement, and hateful messages about ICE had become prominent on his social media account since March.
Since March?!
Mind you, Twitter has been banning and shadow banning conservatives since at least March, and not because of "hateful" or illegal speech but for simply having a political point of view that doesn't comport with Left-wing groupthink (which is really hateful).
As for Ziobrowski, he is "facing a serious charge of using interstate commerce to transmit a threat for his online pay-to-slay offer," Conservative Tribune noted.
"I can promise you that during my tenure this office will aggressively prosecute those who threaten law enforcement officers," said U.S. Attorney Andrew Lelling.
"Enough is enough," noted Hank Shaw, an FBI special agent based in Boston. "This case presents the violent potential faced by federal law enforcement officers."
This behavior comes after Left-wing Democrats like Maxine Waters and Corey Booker demand that supporters "get in the faces" of Trump administration officials and their supporters.
The Alt-Left Democratic Party is the real fascist, Nazi threat facing America.

Ever since i was a boy, i liked spotting and observing aircraft. Photographing them. At the Danish Airshow 2016, i found what I was looking for: The smell of kerosene and the ear-deafening sound of roaring afterburners. From the resulting photos, I'll share some highlights in the near future, on this site.
In this post however, readers will be missing photos of fast passing, acrobatic aircraft. This is a rather nerdy post. I primarily wanted to focus on details: How much detail can I get when shooting over considerable distances? And secondly: Can I create photos not revealing the type of aircraft, unless the viewer takes a better look?

Option to remove the photo from timeline when deleting it from an album
When you come across a photo inside an album that you decide can be removed, deleting if from the album is not enough, because it's still in your main collection. It can be quite time consuming to locate that photo. So what would be a nice feature is, when you delete a photo from an album, is to give the options 'Delete from album' 'Delete entirely' or 'cancel', or something along those lines.
1 comment
Anonymous commented
Agreed! Overall, why isn't there an initial spot called "uploaded" or something, then from there if you move them to an album, then they are gone from that initial spot, and when you delete them from an album they're gone from everywhere.
If you have photos for which you haven't decided what to do, albums could solve this problem too. Just make an album called misc, uncategorized, or whatever.

Another new year, another METRO conference! This year's event took place at the Kimmel Center at NYU, and once again it proved to be a wonderfully friendly and almost familial event. I love the NYC librarian community, and the METRO conference is a chance to see what old friends and colleagues are up to in their work!
This year's keynote address featured Marie Østergård, Head of Community Engagement, Partnerships, and Communications at Dokk1 library located in an emerging waterfront revitalization zone in Aarhus, Denmark's second largest city. The newly developed waterfront is designed both as a welcoming public space, and also as a safeguard for the city center against rising waters resulting from climate change; the library was developed early on in the project as a key anchor space to attract people to the formerly-industrial waterfront area. The city was very focused on making this a space for people to meet and interact across social barriers, and the library serves as a community center that is more about curating people than collections. Dokk1 offers myriad meeting and collaboration spaces, including large flexible areas designed for prototyping and design thinking. Dokk1 has also deliberately employed people with a diverse range of skillsets and titles, including technologists, designers, tinkerers, engineers, and other creative types in addition to librarians. Dokk1 has also implemented a perpetually open door policy, and citizens have full access to the library at all times, even during unstaffed hours. There were a lot of parallels to last year's METRO keynote about Helsinki's Library10, which made me wonder about the applicability to public libraries in a much more heterogeneous location, like New York or another city in the US. Both of these Scandinavian libraries are definitely inspiring, but it's hard to imagine some of their innovations working within my own library.
Next I attended Empire State Digital Network: Updates on New York State's Service Hub for DPLA with Kerri Willette, John Mignault, and Chris Stanton from METRO. They talked about the Empire State Digital Network, service hub for the Digital Public Library of America. The next session was a combined session featuring Julie I. May from the New York Historical Society and her No API, No Problem project. Shawn Averkamp and Sara Rubinow from NYPL presented Measuring Metadata for the Masses: Starting a Data Quality Program from Scratch, which offered a good framework for streamlining workflows and efficiencies across a large library system.
After lunch, I attended another double feature combo session. This one consisted of Arden Kirkland's presentation of the D4L program and an information literacy session from Long Island University's Katelyn Angell.
The last session I attended was Hack the Stacks, presented by Jennifer Cwiok, Rebecca Morgan, Iris Lee, Stacy Schiff, and Michael Caprio from the American Museum of Natural History. They talked about the hackathon that they have been running for the last three years as part of the BridgeUp: STEM program. Previous years included #HacktheUniverse and #HacktheDinos, but this year's #HacktheStacks focused on the AMNH library itself. The projects produced by this hackathon are all stored on Github, and their wiki is also an excellent resource for anyone looking to put together a hackathon of their own!

Chai Apple Scones
They say an apple a day will keep the doctor away.
But I say a slice of this scone every day will keep my heart and soul happy. And that's almost as good as keeping the doctor away.
When I collected a bag of apples from my parent's backyard this month, I knew the first recipe I was going to make was these apple scones. Growing up, I remember coming home from school for lunch and smelling their aroma when I walked in the door. My mom often made them when she had the neighbourhood ladies over for coffee and I always kept my fingers crossed there was a slice left for me.
As I grew older, it was through these scones that my mom introduced me to cutting butter into flour to make pastry and to baking in general. I may have been a bit heavy-handed sprinkling the sugar and cinnamon over the top (The crispy bits were my favourite part) but now I know that easy does it.
I kept the healthy food swaps in this recipe minimal because it has such a sentimental value to me. A change of the type of sugar was all it needed. The all-purpose flour could easily be swapped for a gluten-free 1:1 baking mix or brown rice flour, and almond milk and a vegan butter alternative could replace the milk and butter. You could even add a bit of ground flax seed to give this recipe a nutritional boost!
Instead, I opted to add some warming spices to fit the season and turn this recipe from apple scones to chai apple scones. The ginger, cinnamon, cardamom and nutmeg mesh perfectly with the apple. Served with a cup of hot tea, a slice of scone would make any chilly afternoon cozier.
Just like those warm fuzzy feelings I get making mom's recipe nowadays.
Chai Apple Scones
- 2 cups flour
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- ½ tsp. baking soda
- ½ tsp. salt
- ½ tsp. ginger
- ½ tsp. cinnamon
- ½ tsp. cardamom
- ½ tsp. nutmeg
- ¼ cup cold butter
- 1 apple (or 3 small apples from your backyard), shredded
- ½ cup milk
- Milk for brushing top
- Coconut sugar for sprinkling
- Cinnamon for sprinkling
1) Preheat oven to 425F
2) Measure flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom and nutmeg into a bowl.
3) Cut or grate in butter. Mix with hands or pastry cutter until butter is evenly dispersed through flour.
4) Add apple and milk, and stir to form dough.
5) Turn out dough on a lightly floured surface.
6) Knead and pat into two 6-inch rounds.
7) Brush with milk and sprinkle with a coconut sugar/cinnamon mixture.
8) Bake for 15 minutes.

Youth Code – "Consuming Guilt"
Industrial/EMB duo Youth Code are really firing on all cylinders on the first song from their next EP, "Consuming Guilt." Or rather they're firing dirt and smoke into your face and then spitting on you to clean yourself up. Industrial filth hasn't felt this good in a long while. It's from the A Place to Stand EP, due Sept. 23 on Dais.
The Growlers – "Good Advice"
A whirling farfisa organ drives this garage-pop ditty from SoCal's Growlers through a subtly twisting arrangement and square into your cranial region. "There's nothing as depressing as good advice," Brooks Nielsen sings in a bittersweet rasp, adding, "Nobody wants to hear how to live their life." Maybe the best thing we've heard from the band yet! Chinese Fountain is out Sept. 23 on Everloving. Preorder it now on LP or CD.
The Skygreen Leopards – "Crying Green and Purple"
The video for Skygreen Leopards' "Crying Green and Purple" looks like what Coachella should be like. I'm not sure where the hippieish but vaguely post-apocalyptic footage comes from, but it looks like a good time. The jangly psych-pop tune comes from the band's recently released Family Crimes on Woodsist. They'll be at Woodsist Festival in Pioneertown this weekend with a bunch of other great bands.
Superhumanoids – "Feel Good Hit of the Summer" (Queens of the Stone Age cover)
When I got the email promotion with this song, I was like, I cannot begin to imagine what this song will sound like. One of QOTSA's best, a driving, sped-up drone rocker that nihilistically lists various intoxicants becomes a narcotic electro-pop tune in Superhumanoids' hands. I guess that's appropriate; one feels like the rush to get high, the other feels like the comedown. Not sure where this will land, but the band's Exhibitionists is out now.
Girl Tears – "Candy Darling"
Catchy, killer punk that's over before you know it, "Candy Darling" brings us to L.A.'s Girl Tears, whose debut album, Tension, will hit LP and CD Sept. 23 via Sinderlyn. Every song on the album is about a minute or less, but "Candy Darling" proves that's all you need to make a deep impression. They'll be supporting Terry Malts on tour, hitting S.F.'s Brick and Mortar Aug. 27 and L.A.'s Los Globos Aug. 28.
Death Valley Girls – "Gettin' Hard"
L.A. punks Death Valley Girls had us with their first jam from their new EP, "Electric High," but "Gettin' Hard" really seals the deal with its ecstatic vocals and wicked psych solo. The Electric High EP will be out in early fall on Lollipop. Check it out via Consequence of Sound.
Shows This Weekend:
This weekend is Echo Park Rising! Check out acts like Allah-Las, Woods and Peanut Butter Wolf for free at venues all around town, all weekend.

"A long time ago only a few short years ago…
in a galaxy far, far away… in a backyard in Tennesee….
Lived a family of Foxes.
It all began with Mama Rennie and four cute, rambunctious, naughty, mischievous, kits-Ring ding, Osa, Effie, and Hulda.
It was through their adventures right out the backdoor for the Budayr household, I watched them grow.
And be young, silly, and naughty….
It was a true gift to be witness and experience this, and from this my book The Fox Diaries: The Year the Foxes Came to Our Garden was born.
THEN, this past Spring, I found myself keeping a very large secret…….
Hulda (a kit from the first litter-now all grown up) came back to the old den, her family home, with her newborns. Yup….Generation #2 had taken up residence in the Budayr yard. Valarie and family had many moments with Hulda and the now very large litter of kits, and the result is this amazing video. Not only is this delightful video a peek at the Fox mayhem that has ensued but a look into the continued joy that each Fox Spring brings.
She captures the essence of these foxes in a magical whimsical treasury of a book. The pictures are so amazing.Watch with the artful eye of Valarie's camera as the family explores, learns, and grows. Donna Ashton. –The Waldorf Connection
That was almost 3 years ago and the magic of our Foxes continues.We are excited to see what the Spring of 2013 brings 🙂
So why all this Fox Whimsy and "remembering?"
We have something very special planned for Cyber Monday! We have been planning like clever little foxes, and dreaming up a fox-filled day just for our readers. Curious?
You'll have to WAIT. But we promise you, you are NOT crazy-like-a-Fox.
We have a very special DEAL, some wonderful BONUSES, and a big, juicy GIVEAWAY…and it all starts November 26th!
Hint? Well..yes..I can give you a hint 😉
If you want to know MORE…you will have to check back on this blog in the next few days!
BUT, I can do you one better. IF you want to keep up with the action and get the inside scoop, subscribe to Jump Into A Book ASAP. Not only will you "get the goodies" but you can join us in exploring and cherish the world of children's book. Hope to see you soon!

According to them "Greenery is a fresh and zesty yellow-green shade that evokes the first days of spring when nature's greens revive, restore and renew." This is also one of the biggest wedding colour trends to emerge in 2017. Highly influenced by the freshness of nature with leaf and foliage. We wanted to share with you some inspiration for your wedding day.

Faith Mendes needs to get her life in order and get a job--yesterday. Thankfully, the live-in house-keeper position at the King brothers' ranch is up for grabs. Problem is, she'd be working with her old childhood crush, Nate King. He's sexy, wealthy, and his Texas-sized charms are legendary...and, clearly, impossible to resist.
Nate never thought twice about his best friend's little sister. Back then, Faith was off-limits. But now that she's all grown up, Nate's whole world has turned upside-down. Razor-sharp, down-to-earth, and hotter-than-heck, Faith is everything Nate has ever dreamed of in a woman...and maybe even in a wife. But Faith has loved and lost enough already to risk it all on another known bad-boy. How can Nate convince her that he is the real deal--and that he's ready to rein it in and never look back?

Liza's Review:
Soraya Lane is a new to me author and I was really excited to give I Knew You Were Trouble a try. I usually don't read books in a series out of order, but can say with complete honesty that it reads well as a stand-alone story. I will say after meeting all of the King brothers, I want to go back and read the first 2 books in the series.
I enjoyed I Knew You Were Trouble. I loved that Faith and Nate had both been attracted to one another since they were in their teens. Yes Nate is Faith's big brother's best friend and he promised never to touch her, but they are all grown up now, so I didn't get the big deal with them being together now. Faith and Nate had amazing chemistry and I totally loved them as a couple. I wish they had communicated better with one another sooner, and was more than ready when they finally started listening to one another. I will say I loved that Faith was strong enough to not settle for less than she deserved and I loved her giving Nate the wake up call he needed.
I Knew You Were Trouble was an enjoyable contemporary romance. I liked Ms. Lane's voice and look forward to reading more books from her in the future.
3 Stars (B-)

"Direction is better than speed."
The first and foremost is to plan where to go.
Expect the rough road. Katulad ng paglalakbay sa ating buhay, hindi naman maiiwasan ang masalimuot na pagsubok sa bawat paglalakbay. It is not always the smooth side. Sometimes expect worse comes to worst. From bitter side to a better one is ought to expect in life because every pain is designed for us to learn. The ups and downs are there to become stronger so make the most remarkable journey that we take. The more we face hardship, the more we become firmed and determined.
Every shortcoming is noticeable but adjustable. Every person makes a way to regain and fulfill the mission.
Every journey that we have, every pain that we feel and every story that we have is significant to grow up in all aspects of life.
Just think driving a car in a very long way drive. Just go on and always keep right. Turning the right path is considering the good life ahead of us. Turning the left side is the wrong move to make decision. Always keep right as what we always heard. Give the ample meaning of every turning point we have so in the application to real life, we could not easily commit mistakes because every mistake is accountable in the lives of an individual. I believe that in making decision, good thing might happen as a reward, so what we sow is what we reap and be cautious to do things.
(I took this photo in the province of Oriental Mindoro. This was taken in Pola, the oldest town. I feel like I am professional photographer while taking that photo. I wanted to put the personalize picture as much as I can and since this BLOG makes me quite interested to do, I feel so much enjoy honestly. The feeling of overwhelmed though I am neophyte to post why I am trying to learn more on how to do some updates and how to promote some tourist spots like Pola wherein the town has the highest rate when it comes to literacy as to compare with other towns why that is another challenging part for others. However, everyone strives the best that they can to at least uplift to the next level. Moreover, I hope guys out there find this work of mine quite pretty cool for them, appreciate the little thing I have shared and stay happy as what they are doing so take a glance to pass by, like and follow then do comments to improve for the next journey I have 🙂 Happy RAMADAN to all of us!)
Ang buhay ay parang alon sa dagat. Minsan kalmado at minsan maalon I wanted to feel the serenity it brings into my life. It is calm so there is tranquility in the environment. In the application to life, observe the ordinary days that people is going through. There is no obstacle in every plans…everything is in the will to follow the dreamer aspirations but if life has no ironical side, that is the boring phase to feel, there is no excitement at all. The wave of the ocean stands as trials to face. Oftentimes suffering could help to have the stronghold to strive more. Every struggle can make a person stronger and fighter to move forward. We keep on moving to succeed and it may never hinder to look back. In life it is always the pursuing, pushing and not pulling from the very beginning.
Napakagandang tingnan ng alon sa dagat. Nakakasigla ng pakiramdam, masarap damhin ang bawat pagdampi ng hangin sa dalampasigan na animo'y samyo na nagbibigay saya sa bawat himaymay ng katawang lupa nang bawat isa. Every blink of an eye to imagine the wonderful creation like my favorite saying goes: I can't change the direction of the wind but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.
That is how I pattern that inspiring saying in my life. Maaaring may mga bagay na nangyari na kasawian sa buhay pero hindi mananatiling hanggang doon na lamang, it is learning to stand up in every trials that we are facing because of problems …kailangan nating bumangon at harapin ang bagong bukas na naghihintay. Being an optimistic and an enthusiast to pursue a goal can be a challenging role to change life for the better.

Grove-compatible circular 24 LED array, ideally used with a rotary encoder input.
Spinning a dial is a pretty standard method of input, but when combined with this Grove circular LED array, it closes the feedback loop with a visual indicator.
Although usable on it's own, it features a 25x25mm (1 x 1") cutout to accommodate a Grove encoder, but is pretty happy being used as just a ring display.


text: If you read our site consistently, you know what fans we are of designer Emma Fletcher and her lovely Nolita line and store Lyell. So, we were heartbroken when we heard the news that Emma was taking a break from the world of fashion and shuttering her gem of a boutique. Starting this week, she's having a closeout sale with all styles from 40-60% off, even including new spring '10 stock that will be trickling in over the next month. The serious steals will continue until they run out of stock. While we wish Emma the very, very best, it's with a heavy-heart (and lighter wallet) that we'll be scoring her timeless pieces on a dime.

Good Friday morning everyone! I am happy for you that it is Friday! My husband gets home from his bike tour this evening and we can't wait to see him! He had another tough day going over Independence Pass (steep and narrow) but it sounds like it did pretty good. They stayed in Aspen and will be riding mostly downhill today into Glenwood, which is where they started. They will stay for closing ceremonies and then pack up and head home! Thankfully they don't have far to drive. We also had our first practice for All Stars last night. And wouldn't you know it? It starts to rain! I headed for the car but not before I was soaked. And the boys? Well, they kept right on going!! They'll all end up with pneumonia before they even start games!! But they were all excited and I think we are going to have a pretty great team!
As for the card... I think that I have done this layout many times before but it is such a great layout! So easy and packs a 'punch'. Love it! I need to get some of this retiring designer paper used up! I am also finding myself using the textured cardstock more and more. Love it!! And the new In Colors come in an assorted pack of textured cardstock! Yea!!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
P.S. I am getting really excited about the upcoming Royal Blog Tour! I just got my stamp assignment and I am working on ideas (even though I don't have the set yet).

I used them for a week AND liked them but I wanted to finish my brand new bottles of my own products 1st. It took 2 days and my face is red and swollen and worse than before. My husband and mom both said if that's what is does to you I think you better stick with healingscents.com, and I agree. Now I will be placing another order soon. Thank you! Laura CPS Laura shared with that that she had been using the other brand for 30 years!

I Love Myself ReikiIt's uncomplicated to focus on large decisions, and how they altered the course of one's daily life, but the big choices we make in life are established by our each day decisions.
Mahatma Gandhi encouraged staying the alter we need to see in the world. Each day Reiki self-practice certainly is the easiest way I've found to engage that transformation.
You will find as quite a few ways to practice Reiki self-treatment as there are actually Reiki practitioners, and the greatest option to practice is clearly the way you actually will practice.
That mentioned, in case you do not possess a protocol, right here will be the 1 I use, and some pointers to help you continue to keep training for existence.
Reiki self therapy protocol
I've practiced each day Reiki self-treatment since I to start with discovered to practice in 1986. To give myself a total Reiki self-treatment, I place my hands on these parts of my physique, within this buy:
• Crown of head
• Face
• Throat
• Back of head
• Upper chest
• Lower ribs
• Navel
• Lower abdomen.
I lie on my side using the pillow doubled more than for the first 3 placements, choosing it even more relaxed when my head is somewhat elevated, and roll onto my back for your rest.
My practice time is when I awaken from the morning, prior to opening my eyes. My hands linger at each and every placement as feels suitable. My awareness is existing with my practice, observing my breath and whatever sensations come about as I savor the experience of Reiki essence. Often, I'm drawn deeply inside, surfacing only to replace my hands. I linger at the finish to contemplate the go through.
That will work effectively for me, but it is significant you organize your practice so it operates to suit your needs.
One example is, you might desire the structure of owning intervals timed for you, specially for those who are just beginning to practice. If so, consider using a chime timer that emits sweet tones to remind you to move your hands and let you already know when your session ends (the sound of a kitchen timer is much as well harsh). There are actually Reiki timer apps offered for the telephone.
I motivate you to utilize a protocol. This gives your hands a habit to stick to without having to give it some thought, leaving your awareness open to love your practice. And make sure you help by yourself in a comfortable position so that you can overlook about your body and basically be along with your practice. (For those who have questions about the placements over, there are actually illustrations at the back of my guide, REIKI: A Extensive Guide.)
Really do not be random along with your practice. Opt for a time of day that's simplest for you personally, and do not allow that time go by without the need of placing your Reiki hands on oneself.
Obviously there are going to be days when you will not finish each of the placements. Self practice for 30-40 minutes appears for being a good selection for most consumers, the majority of the time, but you wish for being flexible and responsive for your requires on any provided day. Keep in mind Hawayo Takata's* encouragement – slightly Reiki practice is considerably better than none. When existence imposes on your practice time, as sometimes comes about, do what you can that day to sustain the rhythm of your every day self-care, and return for the total protocol the subsequent day.
It's possible you'll desire to adhere to Mikao Usui's** instance and recite the Reiki Precepts as aspect of the day by day practice.
Even so you customize your practice, holding it very simple indicates maintaining it doable: Practice, observe, contemplate, repeat.
It's painless to target on significant decisions, and just how they altered the program of your life, but the major choices we make in lifestyle are determined by our everyday possibilities. Turned out to be the transform you want to determine on earth (and during the folks all over you); practice each day Reiki self-treatment.
What keeps you practicing every single day? Please share your recommendations within the comment part below. And when you get started a regular practice, let us know the benefits you recognize.
Hawayo Takata and her Reiki master Chujiro Hayashi, a pupil of Usui, brought Reiki practice from Japan to your US in the late 1930s.
Mikao Usui began the practice that has come to become known as Reiki in Japan inside the mid 1920s, and is the founder from the living lineage of Reiki masters.

Eclipse Chocolate bars
Mother's Day may have relatively shallow historical roots, but there's no denying that in most of our cases, our moms deserve some extra attention once a year. This town is hopping with petite boutiques chock-full of perfect mom gifts, many of which I've already mentioned in previous columns: North Park's Pigment for jewelry and plant-filled "eco-orbs"; Downtown's Hessian Global Goods for unique and worldly baskets, baubles and bangles, plus awesome coffee accoutrements; Seaport Village's Urban Girl Accessories for fun and funny gifts that pack a punchline; and Solana Beach's Solo for letterpress paper goods, the coolest cookbooks and tchotchkes galore. Most moms do like tchotchkes.
But how about some fresh ideas? There's no better gift for most any occasion (OK, maybe not a bris) than a super-cool staghorn fern. And the folks at Exotic Gardens (2212 El Cajon Blvd. in North Park, 619-497-0860) have 'em mounted on cool scraps of wood and priced to give. For $25 to $40, you can pick up a decent-size stag to hang on a patio wall or in a backyard. Exotic Gardens has other goodies like the wacky "baby toes" succulents, the evil-looking jacunda aloe or the ferociously phallic mammillaria matadae cactus with its ring of tiny pink flowers at the tip. There are also beautiful Seussian-looking plants here that cost only a couple bucks.
If you have a good arm, you could throw a baseball from Exotic Gardens to another must-do mom-gift emporium, Eclipse Chocolat (2121 El Cajon Blvd. in North Park, www.eclipsechocolat.com). It's a coffee-and-tea (and beer and wine) bar with desserts and cheese plates, but it sells vegan-friendly, exotically spiced house-made chocolate, all flavors, all the time. Would Mom like matcha green tea-infused white chocolate with candied ginger and brown rice? Or sage-infused dark chocolate flecked with blackberry bits? You can pick up six mini bars for $15, or the better deal, but with less diversity: three full-size bars for the same price. Either way, that's a reasonably priced and delectably sweet prezzie.
While I think it may be a myth, apparently the majority of moms like tea. Mine doesn't, but that hasn't stopped me from using this month's holiday as an excuse for checking out Halcyon Tea in South Park (3009 Beech St., www.halcyontea.com). It's an ultra-modern yet comfortable space, and it smells super-swell inside. New teas are scrawled on the chalkboard and it carries the beautiful Bee House teapots from Colorado and the mod Stump Teapot by For Life. Ah, forget Mother's Day, this stop was really about me and the organic Chamomile.
According to the circulars in the Sunday papers, moms like vases. And frames. And candles. And ceramic statues. You can get those things at the mall, but that wouldn't be supporting local stores—and the stuff probably is mass-produced in China no less, not to mention fugs. For funky, cute, newspaper-sanctioned mom stuff, you've got to try Side Dishes (3841 Park Blvd. in Hillcrest). It's an awkward location, near a bust stop and The Crypt, and parking can be a bitch, but the goods are gorgeous: Ceramic birds that wouldn't look out of place in my house—or my mom's—despite our wildly different tastes; vases that are both modern and delicately pretty. My favorite and, frankly, the most appropriate for such a holiday, might be the Sweet Children series by illustrator M.L. Chiratorn Chirapravati. The wacky illustrations aren't exactly sweet, but they are of children. Plus there are smelly candles, tiny teacups and other design-y things that really have only one purpose—to be given.

Two years ago, I joined the land of blogging.
I love having this outlet. I love being a part of this blogging community. But most of all, I love being able to look back through the archives of ladyladybaby and experience the rush of emotions and memory triggers, that come with reading my own words.
I'm not the sort of writer that can sit down and churn out a post in a few minutes. Words don't come easily for me and I will often stare at a blank screen for an hour before I start typing. I could have stopped and told myself that I was too busy, too tired, too out of ideas to continue blogging. I'm so grateful that I didn't. A lot of the time I worry that the things I write about are boring or my photos aren't worthy of their own post. The thing is though, I've come to realise that this blog isn't actually for anyone else. It's for Candice, it's for Oscar and it's for me. I'm simply writing for us.
There is a blog I love, called Life With Roozle and 3 years ago the author committed to blog daily. She has recently decided to call an end to the challenge. That doesn't mean she will stop posting regularly. At least I hope not! Anyway, It has me thinking. Perhaps I might set myself a challenge of blogging daily for a month. If that goes well, maybe two months or even longer. This will be a plan for the new year if I decide to commit.
To conclude, I don't see an end to ladyladybaby anytime soon. In fact I hope to continue for as long as I can. Why not? The way I see it, there's nothing to lose but plenty to gain! 😀

Short nappers – Long nappers, eventually they all meet up!!!!!June 4, 2012 at 11:43 am | Posted in Uncategorized | 1 Comment
Brief Naps: Good News!
by weissbluthmethod
During my nap study, I divided all children into 5 groups based on the total duration of naps at 6 months of age. Those in the briefest nap group had a mean total duration of naps at 6 months of 2.3 hours and the range was 1-2.5 hours. By 9 months of age, the mean total duration of naps had increased to 2.7 hours. So hang in there and expect your brief napper to sleep longer during the day.
But in all the other four groups, the mean total nap duration decreased during this time. This suggests that among about 20% of babies there is a slower maturation of day sleep rhythms. I do not know if post-colicky babies (about 20% of all babies) are over represented in this briefest nap group but I suspect that this is the case. What are your thoughts?
Another piece of good news, by 19-21 months of age when about 80%-90% of babies are taking a single nap, those babies who had been in the briefest nap group have a mean nap duration of 2.2 hours which is similar to the babies in the other 4 groups.

Arbors and patio covers make great additions to backyards— adding dimension, character, depth, beauty and perhaps most pronounced, shade. In the heat of Texas, we know how valuable shade can be. Although the structures share similar characteristics, there are a few key differences. The purpose of this post is to explain BMR Pool and Patio's personal definitions and implications of each.
An arbor is a backyard shade shelter with aesthetic appeal. The biggest difference between arbors and patio covers is that arbors are not waterproof. Their lattice roof allows water to make its way through. Arbors are either freestanding or attached to a separate structure, but designed to provide shade over a walkway, patio, seating area, pool, bench, etc. At BMR, we build arbors using Western Red Cedar. The standard price includes staining of the cedar to ensure its protection from Mother Nature. Our team at BMR Pool and Patio can design and build any size, style or shape to fit your wants and needs.
Patio Cover
Unlike arbors, you can stand beneath a patio cover and not get wet. In other words, patio covers are waterproof. They also provide shade. A standard BMR patio cover is built from Standard Yellow Pine framing material, 30-year composition fire retardant shingles that matches the residence existing roof, finished with cedar textured sofit or painted to match the residence. We offer an upgraded finish to Western Red Cedar stained to your preference in color. Almost any size, style or shape can be designed to fit your needs.
Modified Roof Patio Cover
You might not hear the term Modified Roof Patio Cover too often, partially because the term was coined about 15 years ago when owners Rick and Mason had the idea of creating a waterproof arbor. So, you might be wondering, how do we create a waterproof arbor? First, our team builds a typical arbor with Western Red Cedar, but we do not install the shade slats on top that we would with a typical arbor. Instead, we create a Western Red Cedar ceiling, apply a 4x8 OSB roof decking, follow it with 30 lbs of felt paper and a bitumen asphalt roof. Each of these steps ensure a waterproof ceiling. In the old days, we called these structures modified roof arbors, but since the codes have changed and water shed through, we gave them a totally new redesign and name.
Now, You can Discover the BMR Difference
BMR takes pride in ensuring our customers are fully satisfied. For 20 years, we have been building arbors, pergolas and patio covers all around the metroplex. We love that we get to work with homeowners and establish a clear vision and picture of their backyard dream. Although we are the ones building it, YOU help control the look, feel and additional features. Want lighting or a bar? We can do it! What about a fireplace, refrigerator, stone columns or seat wall? No problem, we got you covered! Our goal is to create the backyard oasis that you and your friends and family can create lifelong, lasting memories in.
Now which outdoor living structure grabs your attention the most? Call us today for a free estimate!

"Music Journalism has always in my view been a ready alternative to sex and so there was no one more surprised when halfway during their set the Ducks waddled in with a hazy version of the Hand Jive, I had to reassure myself this was not a pointed retort to my shouting out a request for Sultans of Swing!
Brilliant venue for a pub rock revival here at the Doghouse in Nottingham and we were certainly in for a night of light and dark. The Terminal Five Experience are maturing and we can be sure of more from them in the future, Roxette was a particular high spot for me with an off-beat riff and fab harmonica, with both guitarists knowing their Wilko from their Johnson. AC/DC got a bit of a look in when the Ducks treated us to a 'Deluxed' version of the riff from "You shook me all night long" ( but they forgot the words), nevertheless lots of well honed songs which if short on the challenge are good to go and would make for a nice long road trip.
T5e for me should make a lot more of what they've got as they hit some high spots once or twice in the set and could have benefitted from a better mix in the backing vocals and solos."

Koei Tecmo has released a new trailer for Omega Force's Dynasty Warriors 9. The new trailer explores both combat and the heavily talked about open world feature that is now present in the ninth canonical edition of Dynasty Warriors. Dynasty Warriors 9 is set to come out for PS4 in Japan and currently has no release date.
Folks who are eager to learn more about Dynasty Warriors 9 might just find something new in the latest overview that Koei Tecmo published to accompany the trailer. The company noted in the overview that there is a unification to the classic, time-tested action that is iconic to the Warriors series coupled with a new open world feature.
In addition to the above, familiar characters will also make an appearance along with an Interactive Action System. Players will be able to fully utilize their surroundings for the first time, which includes climbing walls, mountains, destroying explosive objects, and using a grappling hook to reach places that would otherwise be inaccessible.
Dynasty Warriors 9 will sport new combat mechanics that still revolve around a single soldier against thousands. The new mechanics are said to integrate the State Combo System with three different attack styles — Trigger Attacks, Flow Attacks and Finish Attacks — each dealing significant damage.
Koei Tecmo also explained that players will be able to create the start of an explosive combo by using Trigger Attacks, leading to Flow Attacks, which adapt to the enemy's current state, and then, if successful, combos that transcend into a Finish Attack. A Finish Attack delivers a final blow that decimates any foe caught in its path.
Below is the latest trailer showing some footage of combat and scenes of the newly implemented open world that is now present in Dynasty Warriors 9.
Dynasty Warriors 9 is set to launch for PS4 over in Japan. Both Japan and the West have no set release date, which the latter region has no specific platforms yet announced.

"The roof is not my son, but I will raise it" -Xavier Woods
1. Omar. My baby. My love. My true companion in life. At age 4 I picked him out as a gift for my mom's boyfriend but I loved him so much I took him back. It was the best decision of my life. He's great at tumbling and loves being little spoon when we cuddle. Sleeping is ruff without him.
2. Olive Oil. Two things that remain a constant value in my life is cooking and adamant skin care. Olive oil keeps my food tasting yum and my face staying moisturized in this Utah desert hole. Oil value this for as long as olive.
3. Headphones. I need my music and my personal space. They make things sound better & they make my soul feel better. 90% of the time you'll see me with them, they're my best (ear) buds.
4. Soccer. It's one of those cliche things that has gotten me to where I am now. From age 6 to my junior year in college, I didn't know life outside of shin guards and competition. Fortunately, outdoorsy Utah caters to my active lifestyle. I'm still too competitive for my own good and it's a habit I just can't kick.
5. Fountain Pens. Writing has played a constant role in my sanity, emotional well being, and unwavering flaw of living in the past. To help, I own 3 fountain pens that have all been passed down to me from my dad and grandpa. It reminds me to keep doing things I love to do & to remember the things I used to love. This is one essential I can always dePENd on.

goji berries - another superfood? just what we need.
Hasn't the superfood trend run its course? I remember Oprah pimping acai berries a few years ago. More recently Dr. Oz did pieces on chia seeds and raspberry ketones.
Up next: Goji Berries. Get ready to start hearing a lot more about them.
From the Greatist blog:
"Goji berries could have almost as many superpowers as Superman himself: One study found that after consuming the berries in juice form for 14 days, subjects reported increased energy levels and improved athletic performance, quality of sleep, focus, digestive regularity, and mental sharpness — not to mention reduced stress and fatigue
One study showed that consuming goji berry juice could provide protection from UV rays by reducing the inflammatory reaction of skin when it starts to get sunburned[3]. Which brings us to the berry's antioxidant properties: A compound in goji berries was shown to activate antioxidant enzymes in older mice, which could point to the berries' apparent anti-aging properties that the Chinese have sworn by for centuries
Some studies have also pointed to goji berries' potential for cancer prevention. In two different studies, goji berries' polysaccharides (a type of carbohydrate) were shown to inhibit the growth of both prostate cancer and colon cancer cells
gojis also contain melatonin, which has been shown to help control weight gain, reduce triglycerides, increase "good" (HDL) cholesterol and decrease "bad" (LDL) cholesterol[7]. Since melatonin is also the hormone in charge of regulating the body's time cues, goji berries and other foods rich in melatonin could also help improve sleep[8]. In another study, mice sick with the flu showed improved immune response when given a mixture of milk and goji berry juice
It's time for the big, fat "however." There hasn't been enough research to scientifically prove that goji berries actually possess the magical properties described above.
Really - it''s that simple? I put a few of these goji berries in my trail mix, and next thing I know I'm impervious to sun burns, the flu, and cancer; I've got the energy of a teenager; and I'm living long enough to wish my great-great-grandkids happy graduation? Hell, where can I order the large package?!
Come on - I'm all for high-quality calories. Feeding your body the most nutrients in the fewest calories is an optimal strategy for healthy living. So let's go ahead and add some acai, chia, raspberries, and/or goji to our diet. But can we please stop pretending we can eat a few berries and solve the major problems caused by decades of SAD eating? (SAD = Standard American Diet).

Time to get to the bottom of another odd pest 'fact'. This Do Termites Like Rock Music blog piqued my interest: how on earth does that sort of pop-fact get generated without there being some grain of...
Author Description
I'm a laboratory-based entomologist who works at Rentokil's European Technical Centre. I joined Rentokil in 2008 to set up and run research projects on the control of urban insect pests. Before Rentokil I worked for a consultancy that specialised in diagnosing timber defects in historic buildings, including wood-boring insect infestations and fungal decay. I own far too many books on urban insects and timber pests. When I'm not working you can usually find me playing board games and card games or fencing, occasionally.

Guest Post: On Infertility and Pregnancy Loss
Last fall, my wife and I experienced a pregnancy loss. A few days ago Sarah asked if she could borrow the blog to share some of her thoughts on the experience, and I was happy to loan it out.
Jason and I are thrilled to be expecting twin boys in early November! We feel especially blessed because of the long road we had to get to this point. For two years we tried to get pregnant, but didn't. Medical tests couldn't explain to us why this was happening. For those two years, try as I might to be positive, I often felt a mixture of frustrated, disappointed, confused, angry, jealous, and heartbroken. I finally convinced myself that we were not called to have our own biological children and started to look into the process of adoption. Then we found out I was pregnant. We were overjoyed! We knew I was pregnant for six weeks, but they weren't easy. There were signs that things weren't going as they should, and finally at the end of October of last year, we lost our baby. It was devastating. It would be for anyone, but I was so angry and heartbroken that after all of our struggles we finally got pregnant only to have our baby die. I ranted a lot to God. We were blessed by an outpouring of love, support, and prayers from friends and family, which is the only way I could get up and function immediately after. Along with my deep sadness I also felt a deep sense of fear. What if that was our one chance? Who knows if we would ever get pregnant again? Knowing that it was physically possible gave me hope, but in a way that almost made me feel worse at that moment because it once again created a world of not knowing. I'm not great with not knowing. One of my constant life prayers is to have more trust in God. One thing we did know after our loss was the diagnosis of the cause of our infertility (finally). I'm not at all sure why it took so long for our diagnosis because what is wrong is incredibly common. As many as 5 million women in the US suffer from Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), and it turns out that I'm one of them. PCOS can make it very difficult for women to get pregnant, but fertility medication can help increase the chances. Several months after our miscarriage I went to my doctor and got a prescription for medication… and the next month we found out we were pregnant again. I never thought it would work so fast. Actually, I had myself prepared that it wouldn't work at all. I was too scared to get my hopes up. Now I'm almost 29 weeks pregnant with two healthy baby boys! I still miss our baby we lost. I will forever miss our baby. And I think I have had more fear throughout this pregnancy than I would have if we hadn't had such a long journey to get here. But, I also think I've had more gratitude.
I've thought about writing about our experience for a while now. I thought it would be cathartic for me, but also felt a need to speak out. Infertility and pregnancy loss are more common than I realized, but they are rarely talked about. Twelve percent of women in the US suffer from infertility, and 10-25% of all clinically recognized pregnancies in the US end in miscarriage. I understand why we don't talk about this - it is terribly painful - but, I hope that by speaking out I may help others know that they are not alone. I've also learned that some seemingly benign questions and statements can unknowingly be very hurtful for people who are suffering from infertility and pregnancy loss, so it would be kindest for us all to stop saying them. Things such as...
When are you going to have kids?
I always felt this was a personal question, so I only asked it of my very closest friends. Even then I phrased it something like, "Have you and your spouse talked about having kids?" because I didn't want to assume that they wanted children. Not every couple does, and there is nothing wrong with that. Before our struggles began, this question simply seemed invasive to me when it came from those I was not close with, but afterwards it was actually quite painful. Because the answer was we didn't know. We didn't know if we would ever be able to have children, and that was heartbreaking.
Regarding infertility: At least the trying is fun! *wink wink*
Just no. Attempting awkward humor is embarrassing, and it belittles the suffering the couple is experiencing.
After a loss: At least you know you can get pregnant!
True, but I would have preferred not to have found this out by losing our baby. Getting pregnant is also not a guarantee of birthing a healthy baby.
After a loss: There must have been something wrong with the baby.
Yes, and we never ever would have wanted to our child suffer terrible pain for her entire life, but this is not a comforting sentiment when your baby just died.
To a pregnant woman: Is this your first child? (Even worse: Is this your first pregnancy?)
If you don't know me well enough to know if I have other children, then this question is too personal to be asking, especially in public, especially when I'm at work. I wouldn't have realized how painful it can be until we suffered our loss. Our twins are not our first children, though to the outer world it must seem like they are.
To a pregnant woman: Do you want a boy or a girl?
I think any woman would simply want a healthy baby, but this question felt especially insensitive to me after our loss.
To a pregnant woman: Horror stories of pregnancy, birth, and miscarriage.
I'm not sure why some women feel the need to share their own (or even their friend's) difficult experiences with me. Is this their awkward way of trying to connect? To prove their strength? I'm not sure, but I'd very much prefer not to hear them because I have enough fears of my own! A friend of mine is a birth doula and suggested interrupting these women and politely saying, "If this isn't a positive story, I'd prefer not to hear it." At first I felt rude doing this, but I'm making myself because those negative stories are hard to shake off.
It can be hard to know what to say when someone is suffering. Throughout everything, I found the most helpful things were not words of advice but words of love and support. So, to those of you who are struggling with infertility or have suffered a loss, please know that I feel your pain and am sending love and prayers your way.
