At Pea in a Pod our sizes correspond to your pre-pregnancy size.
It is normal to increase 1-2 cup sizes in the bust and ribs and to put on weight across the hip and thigh areas. However all our garments are specially designed to accommodate for this growth, so in most cases, you will remain your same pre-pregnancy size.
We have listed on each product page the measurements for a size AU 10, plus, the measurements of the fabric stretched around specific areas (tummy, bust) so you can be sure that the garment will fit right up until go-time!
Usually, grading is marked 2.5cm up or down a size, so use the size 10 measurements as a guide.
If garments have only a little stretch, we will list our recommendation of sizing for you.
If you don't like size charts (who does!), email us the style you are thinking about, and we can personally recommend a size for you. Find out more HERE

Don't be shy, be comfy!
Ask away so you can shop with confidence.
Yes! We pride ourselves in designing and crafting all garments to be suitable to wear during all three trimesters of pregnancy and well after baby is born thanks to superior stretch fabrications, a range of technical finishes and clever design elements.

We aim to photograph each collection on a model who is expecting.
Most times we can, but if it is not possible like our AW2020 Collection we state in our product descriptions that she is wearing a prosthetic belly, so we are as transparent as possible.
You may notice that we use the same model for our SS2021 Collection, and happy to say that she was pregnant with her second baby at the time of the shoot :)
PS - We do not retouch our models, including bumps and skin! We only adjust the garment colour, so it is as close of possible to the real thing and also the background colour for consistency.
As each body is unique, that goes for pregnant bodies too! Two people can try on the same outfit but may look different depending on their body shape and how they are carrying their baby.
You can head to our instagram to see IRL #PIAPMAMAS wearing our garments.
Our garments are created to fit a "true" size 10 (industry standard) and then graded down (6-8) and up (12-16) for bulk production.
We do offer simple exchange/refunds if you are not 100% happy, please get in contact if you have any questions about any of the fits.
We aim to be as transparent as possible, so an * in a product name is to simply indicate when you are browsing a collection page, which styles are not made in Australia. This helps consumers make an informed decision from the start.
This is a rare occurrence, but sometimes unavoidable due to manufacturing limitations in Australia.
NOTE: Due to a shortage of Australian knitters, our AW2020 collection has one style that was made offshore. The Kaelyn Nursing Knit - as noted down on the product page.
As we also stock Ambra Maternity Tights, Love Luna Briefs and Triumph Bras, these are also made offshore.

Rack panels form part of standardised 19-inch racks, which are used to house electronic equipment. Rack panels protecting the equipment from dirt and dust and lend a finished look to the rack unit, while allowing sufficient ventilation.
How do rack panels work?
Once the 19-inch rack has been built and the equipment properly housed, the rack panels can be added. They are mounted by using their protruding edges, or 'ears', as a way to fasten them to the rack frame with screws. They then provide a barrier between the equipment and the outside. Effectively, they fill the space between different modules on the rack.
Types of rack panels
The main difference between different types of rack panels is the material used. They can be made from plastic, metal or glass. Metal rack panels are very durable, while glass rack panels allow you to see through to the equipment inside without needing to take the panel off. Plastic rack panels are a good all-purpose option.

Welcome to
"where time stands still"
Hooton Pagnell Hall
The importance of our close village community is as relevant today as it was in 1253 when the village received its Market Charter by Henry III. A butter cross was built, the base of which survives, but the market and fair soon ceased. However, thankfully in most recent years the village has seen a return of such activities at the Village Summer Fete. The Village has an active social scene mostly surrounding the Hostel, our Village Pub and Restaurant, full of characters and welcoming to everyone.
Much of the property in the village belongs to the estate of Hooton Pagnell Hall, which has been in the family of former Lord Mayor of London Sir Patience Warde since the 17th century. The name of the village derives from Ralph de Paganel (sometimes spelled Paynell), a Norman who was a tenant-in-chief in Yorkshire named in the Doomsday Book and an extensive landowner.
Close to the hall is the parish church of All Saints: a beautiful Norman square-towered church, restored in the 1870s and worthy of a visit for any historian in particular the interior and gravestones dating back to the 1600's.

Vernon Jones had managed to elude a warrant for attempted murder for 15 years until his delivery route brought him back through Maryland. You can guess what happened next.
Jones pulled his truck into a weigh station for a commercial inspection and, knowing he was wanted, gave a fake Social Security number. Troopers quickly figured out what was going on and, rather than accepting his fate, Jones decided he'd some how escape in his tractor-trailer. Not so much. Though Maryland State Police deflated his tires with stop sticks Jones managed to make it all the way to the Virginia border before the inevitable crash and taseing.

Morning, all!
"ACME" is truly the master of the smooth early week puzzle, and this one is no exception. I struggled a bit with THE SECRET CIRCLE (a complete unknown), especially since I had DISK instead of DISC at 18D and couldn't decide whether 24D should be HAH or HEH. AS a result, I stared at THE SAKRET CIRCLE for a few beats before the light bulb went off. Everything else was like butter, though...
On the cluing side, I felt that "Dear Me!" was a little weak for OH GOD. Also, ASST seems a bit incomplete as the answer to "D.A.'s underling" -- that would be an ADA or an ASST. D.A., not just an ASST., no? I blame Rich for both of those, so Andrea gets a pass from me on them... ^_^

A good eye opener for me today. Easier than yesterdays. Could have been a speed run for me if I was not flat on my back (in pain) after having suffered a back spasm yesterday afternoon.

Good day folks,
A nice Tuesday offering and certainly a lot easier then yesterday's. Still I had a couple of misdirections; started with WIPED before DRIED at 37A and ABHOR before HATES at 43A.
Liked 32D ERASE, because I seemed to need to do it more today than normal.
I thought the theme was Geometric figures rather than comic strips. Oh well, I hardly ever pay attention to themes anyways.
Enjoy your day.
- May 22, 2012 at 6:15 AM
- Argyle said...
The point I was trying to make was about those ads that tell you, "If you can draw these simple geometric figures, you can become a comic artist." With their help, of course. Just send in your sketch and you will quailify for further training. Only $19.95.

The lovely theme (with grid spanners, no less) blew by me because of how fast the puzzle went and my frustration with the LA Times online procedure (we're in a Holiday Inn Express) which makes it hard for us who like to work out a corner rather than go from clue to clue.
-Spirits did SOAR here in corn country with a wonderful inch and a half rain over the weekend.
-The ending of Field of Dreams chokes this cynic up every time
-Pinocchio could never run for office. His lies would be even physically obvious
-IN OR OUT reminds me of a crude adage that ends "…or get off the pot"
-You mean people actually used to pick up a wet dish and dry it with a cloth. How quaint!
-The first DROP of a roller coaster is always the highest because friction and wind resistance dictate that each succeeding hill must be shorter
-The LOB (Men Left On Base) stat for the Royals has been very high (bad) this season
-Joann makes the best spinach SALAD!
-An AUDI is daughter's dream car. Hey, they're only tin and rubber!
-Who had the 50's hit TWIXT Twelve and Twenty?
-We are in Lincoln today for the Kindergarten program Für ELISE, our granddaughter

Good morning Argyle, C.C. et al.
Argyle, I roared mightily at your comment on 16A – IN OR out? When I open the door to let them out, my cats have a habit of plopping down in the middle of the doorway and surveying the scene. And thanks for the Beethoven link – great guitar solo!
I wonder who else had to dig deep to spell TIANANMEN (tiennamen, tienanman, tianenman…)? The crossings of ELENA and ELISE (which could have been ELENe and ELISa) didn't help. So that proved to be my one hiccup.
I never heard of the THE SECRET CIRCLE, and wonder if anyone has? I wonder why she didn't choose something more "in the lingo" – ANTARCTIC CIRCLE would have fit nicely.
Only a couple clunky partials like I'VE and HERE I, but otherwise a nice smooth grid. Thanks for a fun Tuesday, ACM!

IN OR OUT made me think about my mother yelling at us kids as the screen door slammed behind us.
Then Arglye's $19.95 scam reminded me of this infomercial. I imagine the product works once or twice before falling apart.

Good morning, folks. Thank you, Carla, for a very good puzzle this morning. Enjoyed it. Thank you, as well, Argyle, for the review.
I finally got to do the puzzle the old fashion way for the first time in two weeks, with pen and paper. Enjoyed that.
Skipped the NW and started with FROG for 6A. For 16A I had WANT at first, then fixed that later to IN OR.
Most of the puzzle was straight across and straight down. Spelling of TIENANMEN slowed me down.
Had WHEW in stead of PHEW for 2D for a short spell. I always do that.
Great start for my Tuesday. I have to cut the grass today and have a meeting this morning for a while. Then hope to work in my vegetable garden. Band practice tonight.
So, I got into Union Station yesterday about 11:30 AM from Pennsylvania. There were Armed Security all over the place, K-9 dogs and all. I was getting ready to board the Metra train to take me home, about 35 miles, and the Security Guys told me I could not get on the train with my four suitcases and bags. NATO Security. After a lengthy discussion I decided to catch a cab to the Western Ave station, the next stop, and when I got there, no problem. Hopped on the train, bags and all. I am not sure how much of a risk I was leaving Chicago with my bags. Coming in may have been a bigger concern to them, but I had no problem coming in. Oh well.
See you tomorrow.

Good morning, all.
Marti, I too had a bit of difficulty coming up with the right spelling for that SQUARE. After I was able to 'figure' that out, it all bagan to 'shape' up and I found a lot to like in this 'plane' puzzle.
I've learned to leave the last letter open in DISC or DISk, as both are very common.
- May 22, 2012 at 7:53 AM
- Mari said...
I'm back in action after "working from home" for the last several days due to the NATO lockdown. I hope you've all been well.
I wanted CHIP for 18D: Tiddlywink.
My favorite answer was GRIMACED.
I never watched THE SECRET CIRCLE. I was thinking of Sabrina: The Teenage Witch - which I also believe was a TV show.
My mother used to always yell "IN OR out!" to us as kids.
That's enough from me. Over and out.
- May 22, 2012 at 8:13 AM
- Yellowrocks said...
Argyle, great write up, especially the guitar solo link. Ms. Michaels, I enjoyed your puzzle.
Middletown Bomber, I hope you feel better soon.
HG, I wish I could send you some of our rain. It seems to have rained here 4 or 5 days every week during all of May. The sewer work is done and I could plant my tomatoes, except for all the rain.
I was fascinated with the Horn and Hardart Automat in Phila. when I was a kid. The food was so-so, but the experience was really fun for a kid.

Good morning everyone. Good links Argyle.
I'm with Grumpy on DISC - leave the last letter open. Basically got the solve without thinking much about the theme. Liked Argyle's touch in describing it. Wondered if there was anything to the fact that 3 'shapes' had straight line segment edges and one was curved. Several old standbys like AGRA, ILSA, and TOTS. But I thought GRIMACED was new and robust. SKA was a new learning. Knew TIANAMEN but stumbled on the spelling like others. ELENA and ARAB helped.
Have a great day.

Good morning!
Bomber, I feel your pain. I used to suffer back spasms every month or so. Now that I walk at least 3 miles daily my back has gotten stronger. I haven't thrown it out in a couple of years.
Oh, the puzzle: Quick and breezy with no over-writes. I let the perps take care of spelling TIANANMEN as well as which team plays in Staples Center. I think the AUTOMAT warrants an OBIT.
ALF was also a TV alien for a few seasons, the name probably chosen for the reason Argyle mentioned.
Argyle, it's obvious that you've been acquainted with one or more cats over the years. I'm pretty sure there's some sort of feline hobo jungle marking on our house, because they just keep showing up. And not leaving. Last year our vet bills were higher than our medical bills.
- May 22, 2012 at 8:59 AM
- Sfingi said...
Like @Grumpy, learned how to spell TIANANMEN. It's that 2nd A.
Does Andrea Michaels say, "It's not my fault!"
Thank God for Mon. puzzles.
However, I had the usual sports problem. Had to come here to get the S where LSU crosses USFL. Worse, when I saw Staples Center Player, I thought she met a CD player of some sort sold at Staples, and put in LAsER.
Andrea - do you really know all this sports junk? Do you keep a list over your computer? How does one do that?
- May 22, 2012 at 9:06 AM
- joho said...
Had to come see what Andrea was up to today and, as usual, was not disappointed! Fun, fun puzzle with lots of scrabbly words and just a JZ short of a pangram.
I also really appreciated the interview with Ms. Michaels that preceded the puzzle. And speaking from personal experience, Andrea is a great one to collaborate with!
LOL at "INOR out?" as I must say that a hundred times a day to my avatar! OK, I'm exaggerating!
OHMYGOD there's FROG in my NOODLE soup!
Thanks, ANDREA(S)!
- May 22, 2012 at 9:08 AM
Good morning to all and happy Tues. Thanks Argyle for your write-up,and Ms.Michaels for your puzzle. Nice and smooth today no smudges for me,really liked helped with the dishes and calypso cousin. Wasn't Tom Jones also from Wales? Have a great day to all. RJW

A. you remain the best
- May 22, 2012 at 9:48 AM
Good morning everyone.
Fun puzzle today. Hand up for not being able to spell TIANANMEN. It took many perps to get THE SECRET CIRCLE. And spelling it disk held up the solve for a while. DNF in that one square was left undone – U-FL and L-U.
Hope you feel better soon, Midtown Bomber. Walking only 1 mile a day helps my back enormously.
I'm surprised to see GOD as such in a puzzle.

- fermatprime said...
Thanks for the fun puzzle and solution, Andrea and Argyle!
Argyle: Can't find Mama Cass in your write-up, though her picture is there!
Bomber: Know how you feel! I have an expensive heating pad for such problems. Feel better soon!
They are using jackhammer next door. Began at 6:30. I had 3 hour's sleep. Goody.
Could not go to dentist to get teeth cleaned yesterday due to use of Pradaxa. I have to go get clearance from internist this morn. Broken tooth has to be extracted by surgeon. No fun eating.
Abejo: More info from Harvey. Meeting is York Rites.
Need a form from the state regarding future retirement wages to finalize loan necessitated by $48K termite repairs. Their website is obscene. Have been locked out for weekend. Couldn't call them yesterday due to 2 hour wait.
That's my life.
A good week to you all!

Fun puzzle. Very expressive NW: PHEW, AHSO, HEH, OHGOD. About says it all.
I too was wondering about Andrea's choice of CIRCLE entry. Maybe she's a fan of "The Secret Circle" and wanted the homage. Like she attested to doing in her interview, I think most constructors put a little personal touch, a thing, a something, in their puzzles.
Wikipedia said "The Secret Circle" was canceled after its first season. I might grab the pilot episode and check it out. I wonder sometimes about all the series that can never get off the ground. There's so many. Just because they didn't last doesn't mean they weren't great. I found "Firefly" and "Eli Stone" after they were canceled.
The guy playing "Fur Elise" on guitar is pretty cool. He's got a lot of stuff on YouTube. Very watchable.
Desper-otto, can I borrow "feline hobo jungle marking"? It's a great title. Of what, I don't know. But it must be used.

Hi gang -
Nicely shaped puzzle.
SPACE and DINOSAUR- two things I was fascinated with as a kid.
I thought this was a TWIXT. Almost.
Never heard of THE SECRET CIRCLE. Like many, I stumbled over the spelling of T-SQUARE. Going to the BASEBALL DIAMOND this evening to see Nate's game.
Abejo - What do you play?
If I could have played guitar like Igor (in the Für ELISE link) I would never have gone back to trombone. Of course, I don't sound like Andy Martin, either, alas.
Musicians might find this interesting.
The only symmetry I can come up with is NOODLE FLAVOR, which is a bit bland. Oh, well.
Cool regards!
JzB long ago heard "IN OR OUT" a lot
- May 22, 2012 at 11:06 AM
Fun speed run, and I loved reading the interview before getting on to the puzzle solutions this morning. Constructing is clearly much more of an art than most people realize! Thanks, Ms. Michaels (Andrea? Carla?)
I got the theme pretty early even though I have never heard of the CIRCLE and had trouble with the spelling of the SQUARE, like some of my fellow bloggers.
Bomber, my back goes out too and I found a really helpful book called "Backache: What Exercises Work." The authors also recommend walking as a must for strengthening the back.
Have a great Tuesday, everybody!

That was the easiest puzzle I've done in a while. Fun and easy.
No more Laker games this year. I am glad that a small market team did so well. I kinda hope OKC goes all the way.
I posted this late last night so I'm guessing some folks didn't see it. It's a video collection of some very LUCKY people. I should try to get some of them to buy some lottery tickets for me.

ANTARCTIC CIRCLE gets 187,000 Google hits... THE SECRET CIRCLE 13,600,000. Not that that answers the question, but it might.
It could also be that Andrea doesn't like ANTARCTIC CIRCLE.
And it could also be that she tried ANTARCTIC CIRCLE in the grid and that combination of letters caused problems with the fill.

What fun! Enjoyable puzzle, nice write-up AND an interview! Happy Tuesday! Then our newspaper (a perfect exercise in what a paper should not be) lops off most of the bottom two clues, across the page. Oh well, still a lot of fun.
INOR made me think of my hubby telling the fur kids to get a move on, do you want to A/C all of Arizona?
Had problem spelling T... Square and never heard of The Secret Circle but, like all of you, conquered them with perps.

How many sides does a circle have?
fermatprime, Mama Cass was there for the song she sung about earthquakes. You might relate to the lyrics. ;-)

runs right through here.
So that may be, that may be;
What's gonna happen,
gonna happen to me.
That's the way it appears."

I only wrote that because I remember that hobos had a secret sign language and they'd leave their "coded" messages at rail-side hangouts. They'd mark which house will provide a handout, which house has a mean dog, at which house you're likely to get shot, etc.

Greetings, all. Thank you, Argyle, for a snappy commentary and good links.
WEES. My experiences ran similar to all of yours, blank left at bottom of DISC, producing the middle of TIANANMEN letter by letter and almost a Natick at LSU, USFL. I vaguely recall the short lived U.S. Football League.
Loved the four grid spanning theme answers and seeing ANDREA'S name in the puzzle.
OLGA is the only one of the sisters I know. Thanks for the info on the rest, Argyle.
My thought, too, Tom Jones is also WELSH. He can sing and gyrate!
Last night I had a Waldorf SALAD when we went out to eat as my SIL's mother is here visiting from SD.
A nice ROMP today.
Enjoy your Tuesday, everyone!

Oh, that Tom Jones. D'oh! I was thinking of the character Albert Finney played in the movie version of Fielding's book.

I got involved in all this because the Blog is so much fun, but that interview made me realize i need to look deeeper into my 1st love, crossword puzzles. (rules, there are rules? We don't need no stinking rules!)
1&6A made me want to link "Pigs in Space", but like yesterday, i decided to spare you fellow bloggers from the shocking video of the woodpecker on the power line.
In or out? my cat PK goes out like a bolt of lightning, and in like molasses.
Bill G@11:09 that lucky link was missing from yest. The bank robbers were hilarious!
What do rich people say when they get a boo boo? (Audi!)
What did the prostitute say to the reluctant customer? (same thing i say to my cat!)
I'm off to see if i can ,play Fur Elise on guitar

Mark, we look forward to the book. You think a reference to a tv series is more personal than her go to fill, SAN ANDREAS FAULT? Maybe ACME is also an hereditary witch like the character in the series. You wonder where she gets her ideas? Hmmm.

Good Afternoon (still morning for some)!!
Didn't get to finish this one until lunch. I caught onto the theme but Erased a lot before perps gave me Tiananmen. Had the picture in my head but couldn't spell it. Had a snag in the SE since I guessed Inga for 55A. Still a fun puzzle.
Thanks for the interview CC. Great questions.
Have a good one.

Hello everybody. Wow, what a delightful puzzle today, and a delightful interview with a delightful person. Thank you, Argyle; you're a rock. And thank you, C.C.
Had the same near-natick with the crossing of USFL and LSU; somehow the letter S seemed better than the letter A at that spot, but it was a pure WAG.
After TRIANGLE, CIRCLE, and SQUARE, it was easy to fill in DIAMOND from the clue. Filling in that many letters really gives one a leg up on filling the rest.
Isn't Catherine Zeta-Jones also Welsh? I seem to recall reading somewhere that Jones is an extremely common surname there.
Argyle, thanks ever so much for the Für Elise link; I loved seeing it played on the guitar, in the Spanish style. It struck me that the chords and harmonies of that piece are particularly difficult on to play that instrument. I've now been exploring more Youtube contributions by him. Thanks for revealing the first step on this journey of exploration.
Best wishes to you all.

WEES for me. Right down the spelling of T-Square. But hey. At least I filled in square immediately:-). Fun puzzle, great interview and a thoroughly enjoyable constructor.
Thanks from me on the Fur Elise clip as well, Argyle. I also had the thought about Tom Jones being Welsh. I remember watching a Ken Burns documentary (Jazz??) a few years back where he was featured prominently. Not at all the same guy that was so popular back in the 60's, but so much better in many ways. From that same general grab bag, Hard Times as done by Tom Jones.

Yes, i also read that about Catherine Zeta-Jones so to distinguish her name she added her grandmother's last name, Zeta to Catherine Jones.

Hi all,
A fun puzzle,easier than yesterdays. "The Secret Circle' was my last to get of the long answers. NE came first but mutely took awhile to finish.
I hesitated at " Oh God" because I really didn't care for it. It is used so much these days and people don't really know what they are saying. I suppose it depends how people mean it- do they want a capital D or a lower case d?
I did enjoy the puzzle and thanks Andrea, Argyle and CC for the blog.
Have a good evening!

How about that! Andrea Carla Michaels gave a workshop at the Silicon Valley Puzzle Fest last January in Morgan Hill!
Oh and for you folks who made comments on the downtown Wine Stroll last Saturday - yes there were 15 wineries pouring, but they are only allowed to pour 1 ounce servings. Most followed the rule!
At the end of the day 700 tickets were sold and no reported police incidents!
WEES - good Tuesday puzzle.

- Jayce said...
Lucina, exactly. That is my understanding of her hyphenated (Zeta-Jones) surname. (Is she technically Catherine Zeta-Jones-Douglas now? LOL)
Argyle, thanks again! That reheated my mug of coffee. PHEW!
Marge, I agree about the overuse of that expression, so commonly abbreviated as OMG nowadays. I've even heard people say "Oh Em Gee!" I won't bring up memories of "Janice" on the TV show Friends. Oops, I just did.

Oh, speaking of the San Andreas fault, it runs very close to my boss's house. Quite the sight; you can actually see the sort of "seam" in the ground, like a clearly demarcated line.
Another far less famous fault line, yet far more dangerous, is the Hayward fault that runs north-south along the east side of the San Francisco Bay. Historically is has ripped a big one about every 140 years; it has now been 142 years since the last one, and all the pundits are saying we're due. Unfortunately, it is a heavily populated urban area.

Lucina, I guess I'm extremely slow on the uptake, because I'm just now remembering that you said something a couple of weeks ago about a big fire to the west of you. Was it as bad as the Avondale fire that happened a couple of years ago? We were in the Phoenix area visiting our son and his family at that time, and could see from their back yard the "red skies" and smoke. I think even I-10 was closed for a while.
- May 22, 2012 at 2:32 PM
A question, a comment and a request:
Why is the clue for 65A singular but the answer is plural?
About CA earthquakes: "Day after day, more people come to LA. Don`t they know that the whole place is slipping away? Where can we go when there`s no San Francisco? Better get ready to tie up your boat in Idaho." I would have linked the calypso song but don`t know the name of it.
CC: I once "interviewed" you but it either got caught by your spam filter or you didn`t want to be "interviewed." I`m hoping it was the latter...so how about answering your own interview questions? I think we would all be interested.
If anyone else would like to see CC "interviewed" please let her know.

ARBAON@2:49 -- In my opinion, small fry is both singular and plural. He is a small fry. They are small fry. I wouldn't say small fries. So I'm good with small fry = tots.
And, yes, I'd love to see a C.C. interview.

I spent 18 years at NASA and witnessed close to 100 launches. I have never heard the term A-OK used during a countdown.
- May 22, 2012 at 3:01 PM

AOK was a common expression at NASA in the 60's and 70's. I heard it many times while watching broadcasts of various launches; it is where AOK came from.

I wrote this and then discovered desper-otto typed faster than I did.
Arbaon: I think 'Small fry' can be both singular and plural. The on-line dictionary says 'Small fry': Young children; People or things regarded as unimportant.

At this moment several fires are burning north of the Phoenix metropolitan area. They are located in Crown King, Turkey Creek and Sunflower. Sadly they have thousands of acres of forest to burn through. If you have ever driven on I-17 north to Flagstaff you may recall that lovely scenic drive which is now being consumed.
It is not visible from where I live in Scottsdale but likely can be seen from northern communities such as Deer Valley and Moon Valley. So far six structures have burned but no human lives lost.

A-OK flap:
From Wiki: US Air Force Lt. Col. John "Shorty" Powers popularized the expression "A-ok" while NASA's public affairs officer for Project Mercury, attributing it to astronaut Alan Shepard during his Freedom 7 flight.[1][2] In his book The Right Stuff, however, author Tom Wolfe wrote that Powers had borrowed it from NASA engineers who used it during radio transmission tests because the sharper sound of A cut through the static better than O.[3] Apparently, the first documented use "A-ok" is contained within a memo from Tecwyn Roberts, Flight Dynamics Officer, to Flight Director (entitled "Report on Test 3805", dated Feb 2, 1961) in penciled notes on the countdown of MR-2, dated Jan 31, 1961.[4]

Good evening Argyle, CC, et al., Great fun puzzle! Loved the write up and all the fabulous links. Thank you, Santa baby. Tom Jones was my first thought for the WELSH example. Loved that Pussycat link and the FurElise metal version. I loved the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. What a show!
Had to laugh: The subtle message of the puzzle reminds me of how dating a LIAR can COSTA lot mOAR than mere WILTed flowers. Besides being caught in a …..TRIANGLE, a girl might find herself in a RUSE expecting a MARQUIS …DIAMOND but ending up with the MARQUIS DE SADE and a BASEBALL DIAMOND ticket. I may still sometimes kiss FROGs that turn out to be SOBS or ASSes instead of princes but before I WILT, DROP and my OBIT is tOASTed by the hOARds of sots – I mean TOTS- I'm going to save my ROMPs for the WINTERS when darling Santa baby arrives and calls out "OH GOD, HERE I come!" in my chimney. At the very least, IN OR out would never be a question there. The SPACE of THE SECRET CIRCLE isn't that big but I'VE got a COMPASS just in case. My HALO may be tilted but it's not made of wIRE nor is it WILTED. It's all AOK. Enjoy your night.

Argyle: Haven't you got the pet thing backwards? I have always found that the dog always sits in the doorway, and the cat just can't stand it if a door is closed!
7D) Always thought it was Bar Mitzvah - did not expect to see Bat.
8D) Did not like this clue at all. I do not consider an oar a blade.
Overall though, this was a fun puzzle. I liked the fill very much. Theme did not help until I had solved... then I figured out it was about shapes. Favorite answer was Bermuda Triangle - very clever!

Argyle: Thanks for that "What's New Pussycat" link! I just loved it. Laughed out loud when I saw the red tabby kitten in the toilet. I've got one that wants to do that, but I won't let him.
Adopted two red tabby kittens from SPCA a few months back. Named them Hennessey and Ramsay. Ramsay is literally my kitchen nightmare! He gets into everything. Last night, he was moving framed pictures on the wall. My bedroom is a loft, so that's how he can reach them. Also, they are constantly shutting my dog in the bathroom when I'm at work!

I went to my new favorite coffee emporium today and had my usual macchiato. Nick, the young fellow who's the barista sometimes, rang up my order on a iPad mounted on a stand. He had told me he liked to play guitar but said he wasn't familiar with Chet Atkins. Turns out he could use the iPad to connect to the Internet. So we went to YouTube and hunted up some Chet Atkins videos. We pumped the music into the store's audio system. He seemed to really like it.

The shaft of the oar ends with one flat end about 50 cm long and 25 cm wide, called the blade. The part of the oar the oarsman holds while rowing is called the handle.
- May 22, 2012 at 10:19 PM
Wow, thanks for the swell write up, Argyle (so thorough, much appreciated!)
Hand up for cat sitting in mid door...or shooting out, debating and needing to be bribed back in!
To clear up THESECRETCIRCLE mystery...
I saw the show, noticed it was 15 letters, and the CIRCLE seemed ripe for a fresh "shape" puzzle...
Many had been done but with only three shapes, or TRAFALGAR SQUARE, etc.
TIANANMEN had never been used, was 15 letters as well...
Here's the thing, i knew i was taking a chance with THESECRETCIRCLE, bummed that it's ben canceled!!!
BUT it was a nod to younger women who are egregiously underrepresented in the crossword world, as constructors, solvers, speed solvers, and puzzle that are rife with sports clues.
I am trying to redress thos, both with subject matter ( I've had puzzles rejected, told that HELLOKITTY and BRITNEYSPEARS were too obscure!)
And by mentoring and by complaining when things are too "male"...
I'm not anti-sport, per se ( sorry about that LSU/USFL cross!) I'm a feminist who is antiboys club assumption that "c'mon everyone knows (insert 1957 third baseman, MVP also ran for the Yankees)"
That said, I don't mind LAKER ( I'm originally from Minnesota, and moved to California, as did they!)
And i like to play with the boys, and be an active part of things, but I do want to do what I can, when crosswords (which should not necessarily have to do with speed and competition that are primarily male venues) become inaccessible and discouraging to women, young and old.
And yes, I slip in private things whenever I can...my sister is named Elyse and she played "Fur ELISE" often when I was growing up...
And i live near the San ANDREAS fault, which I thought was funny, tho some chastise me for vanity, so be it!
Anyway, "i" learned how to spell TIANANMEN from this puzzle, I use the mnemonic now of two girls, TIA and NAN before MEN! ( Ladies first!) ;)
I wish THESECRETCIRCLE would have had a longer shelf life ( i also preferred it to ANTARCTICCIRCLE because this way I had a geographical spot, a TV show, a political, historical reference and...a sports theme (albeit clued with a literary reference!)
I applaud Rich for letting me have THESECRETCIRCLE before it slipped into total oblivion! When I wrote it, I had high hopes it would be the next "True Blood"!
Anyway, all, thanks for the thoughtful responses and helping constructors with constructive criticism and not letting us feel we are creating in a vacuum!

Dear Andrea Carla Michaels -
It is super that you stopped by and gave us your viewpoint. I really enjoyed reading about your thought processes. I got THESECRETCIRCLE from crossing letters so it seemed OK to me. (I would have gotten HELLOKITTY too and the LAKERS are best not mentioned for a while longer.)
I enjoyed your puzzle and your stopping in to chat. Thanks.

Immigrant fromn RexParkerVille here. Andrea's puzzle was so good, I had to hear what EVERYONE was saying about it...so I'm glad to have found this site!
This was fun from beginning to end. I have my clue-by-clue commentary written up here: Crucimetrics
ACME and Lucina - one of the guiding principles of the Crucimetrics app is that measuring puzzles is SO much more than speed... We take the intangibles and make them tangible...
Time is only one of the measurements, and it is even played down, with things like the amount of pop culture, sports, opera, xwordese, et alia contributing to defining your own personal solve experience.
Reflects my own joy of solving, which has never been about time. It's nice to know there are other folks out there too!

Commercial Umbrella Liability
A commercial umbrella policy protects your business assets from large settlements or judgments arising from liability claims. With increased limits over and above your primary liability policies, your insurance will help you recover if a covered catastrophic loss occurs.
Key Person Life
Key Man Insurance is critical for companies that depend on a few "Key People" to generate a large portion of the company's revenue. The absence of one of these individuals usually results in the death of the company.
Employment Practices Liability
Even though you are an honest and fair employer, one accusation of unfair employment practices could cost you thousands of dollars. Charges ranging from age or sex discrimination to wrongful termination, even unfounded charges, can hurt or destroy a business.
DISCLAIMER: This Web site provides only a simplified description of coverages and is not a statement of contract. Coverage may not apply in all states.
