I was first contacted by the HR manager at Walker Marketing. I had submitted my application about a week before and was excited to hear back from them. The HR manager asked me a lot of questions about my resume and we went in to great detail about the job itself. I scheduled my interview and arrived a few minutes early. I got to meet the receptionist who was really polite and easy to talk to which definitely helped with my nerves. I was then taken back into the conference room where I met with the CEO. We went over my resume, strengths, weaknesses, my education so on and so fourth. He then got into the business and what the company did. It was really exciting to hear about all the great opportunities with in the company. I was then told about the second round interview which is actually a full day where you get to see exactly how an actual work day looks. This was cool because seeing an actual day of work would definitely tell me if I was cut out for this position or not. The next day I was contacted and invited back for the second round interview which I scheduled for the following week. The second round interview was great. I got to meet a lot of the staff and learned a ton. I ended up being offered a position.Interview Questions

I was called in for an interview with Walker on the same day that 2 other similar businesses in the area scheduled me for interviews. I thought this was weird. Walker and the others were all outsourced "marketing" companies. Walker deals with an energy company. The first interview was very simple and lasted about 15 minutes. I was surprised when I arrived that about 5 other people were in the lobby waiting for an interview at the same time. What type of company calls multiple people in at the same time and makes them wait? I was also mad/disappointed that the job literally has nothing to do with sports. They just put that because they "want competitive-minded people". Seemed like false advertising to me.
During the interview I was told that "they are considering a lot of candidates with similar qualifications", but they literally called me about 2 hours later wanting to set up a second interview. I declined because I honestly wasn't interested. After reading other bad reviews for this and similar companies, I'm glad I did.Interview Questions

I should have known up front this job was deceptive in nature, but I was a desperate college kid. They asked me four questions, then sent me home. I received a phone call from them in less than an hour after leaving asking me to devote a whole day to shadow in the field. While shadowing we met many disgruntled customers and angry customers who wanted nothing to do with us, and that were angry with AT&T. The company they were selling for. It should have been my first clue.
I reluctantly accepted the offer, and within a few days of starting I realized this wasn't for me. The position is fine I'm sure for some people, but not for myself. Brandon Walker pressured me into staying multiple times, and I finally quit after a week and a half. I was done.Interview Questions

MADISON, Wis. (WSAU) -- A central Wisconsin State Senator wants the state's equal pay for equal work provisions reinstated. The law that required employers to pay men and women equally for comparable jobs was repealed in 2012. Senator Julie Lassa argues that it isn't fair. "In Wisconsin, most mothers work outside the home. It would make mom's life a whole lot easier if she made the same wages as the men she works alongside. Despite the fact that most homes in America and in Wisconsin are led by two wage earning adults, women still earn only 77% as much as men on average, nationally."
Lassa says a woman doing the same job as a man starting January 1st 2013 would have to work until April 8th of this year to catch up to the man's annual income. She says that's because the difference in average pay isn't small. It's over $10,000. "Median earnings for men statewide were just over 46-thousand dollars compared to women's median earnings of less than 36-thousand dollars, a disparity of over 10-thousand dollars a year. That's an annual negative impact of more than 8 billion dollars on women, their families, and our entire economy."
Lassa says the gap affects all races, ages, and professions.
The Wisconsin Legislature passed the Equal Pay Enforcement Act in 2009, but it was repealed in 2012 under Republican control.

Although a tech powerhouse, in some ways the hybrid system in the 2011 BMW ActiveHybrid 7 feels like a novelty. It adds power and fuel efficiency, but also adds quirks to everyday driving. Cutting-edge cabin tech features are available in all 7-series models.
Although the 2011 BMW 1 Series M Coupe doesn't come up to the performance standards of BMW's other M cars, it still offers lots of power and handles very well. A comfortable ride and cabin tech options make it a solid daily driver.
At the New York auto show, BMW presented the all-new M4 with a retractable hard top.
Pricing not available
The usefulness of connected features outweighs their hodgepodge organization in the 2014 BMW X5 xDrive35i, and the mediocre fuel economy might be a price worth paying for the excellent driving dynamics.
Despite some very minor quibbles, the 2014 BMW 535d xDrive delivers exceptional quality and feature content on all fronts, from online cabin tech to fuel economy to driving satisfaction.
The new X4 from BMW debuted at the 2014 New York auto show,with a design that defies convention.
Pricing not available
When optioned well, the 2014 BMW 428i achieves an excellent balance between being an exciting sports car and an everyday driver with modern, connected tech, and it looks good doing it.
The split between coupe and sedan means the addition of an unfamiliar M4 to the customary M3. But don't worry, they're as great as ever.
Pricing not available
The 2013 BMW 320i is a more accessible 3 Series, with driving dynamics similar to its more powerful siblings. However, techies will want to look further up the line for gadgets.
BMW went back to the drawing board to come up with the i8, a car with three motors, four seats, all-wheel-drive, and a swooping exterior that's straight out of the future. Our first impressions on the road.

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) - Authorities say Georgia cattle producers soon should see higher prices for their beef cattle due to a drought in Texas that's contributing to a shortage of cattle.
The Athens Banner-Herald reports (http://bit.ly/ACZcoe) that ranchers in Georgia are not expecting record profits. But they say the increased prices should help to cover the rising costs they've been paying to raise cattle over the past few years.
Dave Stewart, a Carlton cattle producer, says that while cattle prices are up, the price of hay, grain, fertilizer and fuel have also risen. As a result, he said producers will see more money from cattle prices but are paying more for expenses.
Cattle prices had been rising steadily because of skyrocketing exports of American beef and because the fewer farmers are raising beef cattle.

The Telegraph
By Mir Najabat Ali; Illustrations by Ahmed; Published by National Book Trust, India.
Then Richard Locke, a reporter on the staff of the New York Sun, had a bright idea. Whatever he wrote about John Herschel's discoveries would be believed as there was no means of verifying it. No one would find out the truth unless he sent a man or message by ship to South Africa, and even then it would take months to receive a reply from the astronomer. In the meanwhile, Locke decided to have all the fun he could.
In his first article he reported that Herschel had invented a new kind of telescope. Every detail of this telescope was so cleverly thought out that even scientists were taken in. Then the fun started. Locke wrote that with the help of this wonderful telescope, Herschel had seen that the hills and mountains on the moon were made of precious stone. Several forms of life were also reported to have been discovered. Monsters, shaped like huge round balls, rolled about at dizzy speeds over the sands of the lunar sea-shore.
Readers were thrilled and believed the tall tales told by Locke. Locke did the job so well that even scientists were deceived.
Months later, the news came that the whole story was a big hoax, the greatest in the history of science!
No one would dream of playing such a trick nowadays. Thanks to the discovery of the telegraph, we can get news across continent and oceans within minutes.
Ever since Oersted discovered that an electric current could move a magnet, people began trying to put electricity to work.
An Australian scientist tried a system as early as 1809. He set apart one wire for each letter of the alphabet. These wires were placed in a vessel full of water. When electricity passed through any of the wires, a tiny bubble appeared at its base. Though this invention made quite a stir, it did not prove very useful.

The pressure on councils to foster local economies has never been stronger
As one trade organisation puts it, local authorities and small businesses did not cause the economic turmoil of the last few years but they are both having to deal with the consequences.
Councils have faced reductions in available public funding in the face of growing demand for their services. As for businesses, they continue to experience difficult trading conditions that threaten survival, says the Scottish Federation of Small Businesses (FSB).
The trade body emphasises that business does not expect their council to transform the local economy single-handedly, but they do expect local government to do all it can to support businesses to grow.
The FSB does not underestimate the huge service delivery challenges facing councils.
However, it says, these problems will only be compounded if economic growth and employment is not given a boost.
"We know that local government has come a long way in the last five years," says Andy Wilcox, the FSB's Scottish Policy Convener.
"But with small businesses likely to create the jobs the country needs, we expect the full support of our councils to promote economic growth." In the FSB's manifesto for the council elections, it calls for: Economic development departments to be given a stronger role to champion economic recovery across all local government departments; The use of public procurement spend to more effectively develop local economies; Building on work to tackle youth unemployment by placing greater emphasis on creating jobs in local businesses; Focussing planning reform on providing a better service to small business applicants; And to make it simpler for businesses to comply with local regulation by developing a more co-ordinated, standardised approach.
The FSB's view of the challenge for local authorities chimes with Councillor Pat Watters, outgoing Convention of Scottish Local Authorities (COSLA) president: "Local authorities have coped well with financial pressures and councils continue to face tough challenges from reducing budgets and growing demands for services. This has always been the conundrum councils have had to wrestle with particularly in times of a downturn in the wider economy.
"As I have often said myself, neither challenge nor change is new for local government, but the current pressures on finances from reducing budgets and growing demand for services are substantial, indeed it could be argued that they have never been greater.
"Demand for our services will unfortunately always outweigh our ability to pay for these however our focus remains on how best to improve outcomes for people and communities across Scotland. The bottom line is that we live in a demand led society. People want the very best results from their public services.
"To make that happen, the Christie Commission showed that we need to invest in prevention across the whole of the public sector, and do more to ensure that services work together to focus on what matters most to communities our joint working with the Scottish Government around community planning partnerships will ensure that we continue to strive towards this goal." But the sometimes contrasting approaches of council departments can frustrate business owners.
"Our local economic development office have been great in helping and supporting us to develop new areas of the business and to support marketing," said one. "Staff are very friendly and helpful in providing useful information. Where the information is not known they always do their best to find out from other sources within the council." But he added: "Policy and procedure within other departments of the council have proven to be both costly and time consuming and has resulted in our business postponing certain projects and business development plans." A construction company manager said: "Our biggest issue in dealing with councils is prequalification questionnaires – they are extremely onerous and time consuming – they all want the same information – just asked from slightly different viewpoints.
"Time spent completing different formats with similar information is time lost on winning more business. The additional requirement now as opposed to five years ago means we need double the amount of administrative staff to deal with the same level of turnover. It is driving small business away from the public sector market." Frustrations were echoed in the experience of a restaurant owner: "Having invested heavily in a new business, we were stopped from continuing refurbishment by the planning department, which set us back approximately eight weeks.
"In business terms we had already employed staff and had set an opening date, which meant two months' expense without revenue coming into the business. This had a huge knock-on effect, which we are still trying to recoup.
"We eventually involved our councillor, who assisted in the conclusion of an unfortunate event. If the council had been slightly more flexible and adopted a common sense approach this need never have happened." Andy Wilcox added: "The recovery is everyone's business. We must see all parts of all of our councils consider their role driving growth. Every department should be signed up to that goal, thinking about how their behaviour is impacting on local businesses and how they could improve.
"Local government is going to face some tough times over the next few years. But things will only get worse if we don't get local economies moving again. In practice, this means the procurement department really understanding how taxpayers' money is spent locally. It means cross-department consistency in regulation. It means getting planning moving and reasonable, proportional local fees.
"In the short term, we need to see our local authority leaders, both members and officers, coming up with and driving local recovery plans which understand the importance of local growth." There is a growing belief that the devolution of economic power to councils by the Scottish Government should be extend. The think-tank Reform Scotland believes that business rates should be returned to local control: "Just as it has been argued that there is little incentive for the Scottish Government to improve the economic environment if any increase in revenue as a result of improved growth is returned to Westminster, the same can be said of our councils and business rates," says Reform Scotland chairman Ben Thomson.
"Devolving business rates to local councils would give local authorities a real incentive to increase economic growth and address specific problems they are facing.
"Councils would have an incentive to provide an attractive economic environment, but the decision would be up to them. For example, a council could seek to increase business rates which might have the effect of increasing income in the short term but is likely to lead to poorer economic performance and lower income from business rates in the longer term.
"However, the increase in local financial accountability is more likely to give councils an incentive to design business taxation policies and broader local economic development strategies to support the growth of local businesses, encourage new business start-ups and attract businesses to invest since this will benefit the council directly by increasing its income from business taxes.
"Although some more rural areas have a smaller business tax base than the big cities, giving control over the tax to the authority gives the power to adjust it to local circumstances. For example, while rural areas may not have the big shopping centres of the cities, they do have high streets, many of which are suffering. Being in full control of the tax would enable councils to experiment with schemes such as offering a year's business rate holiday to companies which locate in their high streets.
Reform Scotland also believes that councils should be fully in control of their council tax. In other words, they should be able to raise or lower the rate and change to whom and how it applies.
And it goes further: "We would also argue that councils should be able to introduce new small taxes, such as bed taxes, where they feel they are appropriate for their area. If the electorate disagrees, they can vote the councillors out," says Thomson. "Such small schemes also increase diversity and allow other councils to learn from the experiences. Importantly, it also makes councils less dependent on central government grants."

Avera McKennan and HyVee have teamed up to host a kids cooking camp this summer that promises to be fun, educational and tasty. Minus the mosquitoes that usually accompany summer camp. We went to the Sioux Falls Hy-Vee on Louise and 49th to see what a couple dozen kids were doing with a couple dozen eggs.
Megan says, "This is just a good opportunity for kids to get to do some things maybe at home only mom takes care of. Here we let them make the mess in our kitchen and they learn some new skills."
Breakfast is this week's theme so the miniature chefs were encouraged to dress the part and wear their PJ's. On the menu: ham and cheese egg bake and homemade buttermilk pancakes. Grandma may even pick up a few pointers (adults are welcome to stay and watch).
Linda Heiliger is from Sheldon, Iowa. Her very shy grandson is 5 year old Adam Wood and is enrolled in camp. Linda says, "Learning to cook is a great experience for little kids. Plus, they need things to do to keep them busy, occupied. We are trying to teach him simple things to cook at home. Hopefully, he will try new things to eat too."
Megan says, "We want to really focus on new foods, especially fruits and vegetables. You know you get in to a habit if mom knows the kids will eat oranges, she gives them an orange. But maybe they've never had a kiwi or blueberries, so we try and get them to try new things."
Stirring stuff and making a mess is fun, but the best part has to be the tasting part. The finished product!
Megan says, "Thinking ahead to the future when they are in high school. Maybe now they'll know how to use a measuring cup or oven and instead of running to taco bell and getting something unhealthy they'll make something healthy. So we are fostering good habits early on.
Now this is a camp kids can really could really sink their teeth in to and stay out of your hair in the meantime. What a delicious idea.
The kids cooking camp is held Friday mornings at 10:00. It costs $5 dollars per session. They can come once or every week just register 24 hours prior.
To register call 605-361-0313 or stop by HyVee's customer service. You can also email firstname.lastname@example.com

Parent involvement
This is a great school & beautiful facility with caring teachers and principal! Schools are what parents and students make them.
This school is amazing. I went to this school and now I go to the freshman campus. The teachers are up to par and try their best to help the students. The students make the school's reputation. There are some bad students there, as there are in all schools. However, this will not affect your child if he or she decides to go to this school. It was a memorable experience and prepared me for reality. I was an eighth grader here in year 10-11. Your child will love the teachers here. The staff is also very nice and so is the principal. He's not distant like most principals. You can often see him walking the halls and giving a friendly smile and wave.
Desoto west is a great and fun school. The teachers don't play at all. We all learn and have fun at the same time.
West middle school isn't bad like most parents have said.They are strict and the teachers don't play.
west middle school is a great school
I'm very pleased with Desoto West. My family moved from a very close school district that seemed to have no rules and regulations. So in saying that this is my sons first year, attending Desoto ISD. From the very first day I was impressed, all but one teacher sent home a sheet of there expectations of the students, what is required of them and was is need to succeed in their class. I have 4 children 3 of which have graduated and I have never received this type of information the very first day of school.
Teachers are not in control of the children. You would think you were in a inner city school instead a nice community.
Desoto Schools in general have been a nightmare for our family. The students have no discipline and the students who are picked on verbally and physically are blamed for the situation. One coach told the kids to not fight in his gym just wait until after school. Thank God we are moving!
DeSoto Schools tend to have a bad name. But, we have been very happy with the academic help my son has received at West Jr. High. The teachers have gone out of their way to help my son who has a Dyslexia/ADD. They have email addresses where we can communicate easily and appreciate parents who want to be involved in their child's education.
I have been in the district one year and am very impressed with west jr. High. They completed the new 8th grade wing and did quite a bit of remodeling. Your first impression is quite the positive one. The office personnel are warm and friendly. The principal is a go-getter with always having the best interest of the kids at heart. He took a group to six flags as an incentive during the 5th six-week grading period if they passed all their classes and had a clean discipline record. There were kids that earlier in the year were 'problem kids' but turned it around and were able to go. The faculty is great (I am more acquainted with 8th but) I am around to see all. Parents are encouraged to be a part of the west family. I am and I love it. We need more.
I personally believe that DeSoto West is a great institution to learn. Its curriculum is challenging and the teachers and staff provide the necessary inspiration for the children to become successful.
My daughter was not understanding Math in the 7th grade at DeSoto West.... By mid year she has an average of B+ with the help of her math teacher and me guiding her at home... I also have a comment about the busing.... I say 1.9 miles away from West... I work downtown....I have to drive thru traffic 15 to 20 miles both ways three times a day. There are busses that pass by the house all the time from Meadow, Amber Terrance, Ruby Young... I don't understand why we can't get some transportation in Chapel Hill for our Junior High and High school students? Please respond to a DeSoto Tax Payor.....As parents we have tried to make arrangements for other parents to pick up on days but all parents are not responsible or can be trusted.......This is part of being safe... There are students walking along the busy Westmoreland, Beltline roads without sidewalks......

Sleep Cycles for Mom and New Baby
The Danger of Sleep Loss
Your safety, health, and emotional stability depend on your ability to get enough sleep each night. The obvious problem with sleep loss is that a tired woman is not a fully-functional woman. Performing daily tasks in a state of exhaustion is not only difficult, it also can be deadly. How safe are you, your child, and the other children in the car if you are a sleep-deprived car pool driver? The Women and Sleep Poll found that 50 percent of women have driven while drowsy, and 14 percent have dozed off at the wheel.
Studies published in the medical publications Lancet and the Journal of the American Medical Association indicate that sleep deprivation can cause an increase in hunger and a decrease in metabolism. That dangerous one-two punch is not just an annoyance that keeps you from fitting into your pre-pregnancy jeans. It can hinder weight loss or cause weight gain and can lead to high glucose levels, which are precursors to diabetes.
Two thirds of women surveyed by the National Sleep Foundation reported that lack of sleep causes problems in their relationship with their spouse or children. As if you need statistics to back this up: depression and anxiety are associated with sleep deprivation. If you are tired, you are likely to be on edge, less tolerant, and maybe not too nice to those whom you love most.

SEYMOUR, Conn. (AP) - A Connecticut man has been arrested and charged with keeping his sister captive in squalor inside their home for years.
Police said Friday that officers were called to the house in Seymour and found the woman malnourished and covered in filth.
Fifty-eight-year-old Arthur Gauvin was arrested Thursday and charged with unlawful restraint, reckless endangerment and cruelty to persons.
Police went to the house after an anonymous caller expressed concerns about the woman's welfare. The woman was covered with urine and feces and her bedroom window was blacked out with paint.
Police say Gauvin apparently was responsible for his sister's care and was motivated by a desire to keep the house.
Gauvin was being held on $25,000 bond. It was not immediately clear whether he has an attorney.

Higuain broke his World Cup goalless drought with an eighth minute goal during Argentina's 1-0 win over Belgium in the quarterfinals on Saturday.
Higuain took an errant pass that appeared to wobble before reaching him, but he was still able to blast it past Belgium keeper Thibaut Courtois for the lone-score of the game. Argentina are now through to the semis and will face the winner of Costa Rica vs. Netherlands.

Comments about InvitationsByDawn for Amazing Journey - Seal and Send Invitation:
Product Comments: Loved the quality , size, and the idea of this type of invite. I got the shimmer finish due to a previous review and would definitely recommend. It had just enough of a sheen, not overwhelming at all. I did not love the stickers they came with to seal the invite (not horrible just plain white) so I just went to Michaels and got rustic brown stickers and and anchor stamp. The combo looks great. The customer service was excellent (Sherry!)) and the delivery time was early. All around a great experience from start to finish.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Was this review helpful?

Product Comments: I ordered a sample of this design first in the value paper and did not like them. The paper seemed very cheap and flimsy. However, I ended up ordering my invitations in the shimmer paper and I think they would also be nice in the textured paper. Mine are beautiful and super easy to send. Just fold them up and put the seals on! One stamp on the outside covered postage.The design is perfect for my vintage travel-themed wedding.

This basket is adorable. Not too much in it for the money, but not bad. It is a christmas present for my dog walker.
It formed a great base for what I attended it for; added some other items within the colorscheme. The overall appearance was good, but the products were average. I loved the "thanks a million" concept, we don't give enough thanks anymore...
Overall good quality....not great, good...I would order again...
I bought two of these and was a bit disappointed when they came and found that they were sitting in plain cardboard. I thought it was a hunter green tin. My mistake I guess. The theme of the basket was "Thanks a Million." However, when you looked at the baskets, you could not really get the message that was written on the contents inside. It would be nice if they put "Thanks a Million" on the outside blank front of the cardboard box. I did ask the recipients if the contents were fresh. They seemed pleased with the contents of the basket.
I purchased this as a gift to my financial advisor at my bank. She took care of a lot of things for me. One day I was in there talking to her about some of my accounts. I brought my puppy Papillion with me. He stepped onto her desk. I said "Wouldn't it be great if he stepped onto your keyboard and pressed the certain keys so we could get a million dollars. Everyone laughed. When I saw this gift basket, I had to get it for her. She is also Spanish. She enjoyed it and was quite surprised.

Cricket Web's 2013/14 Premier League Tipping Champion
- As featured in The Independent.
"as much a news event as an actual footballer, a worthy stop-start centre forward, but an all-time hyper-galactico when it comes to doing funny things with cars and hats, a player whose signing proves once again that the Premier League is still undoubtedly the best in the world when it comes to doing things with cars and hats."
- Barney Ronay on Mario Balotelli
tactical genius here from the BCCI.
In an attempt to make England feel completely at home, the Board of Control for Cricket in India is going that extra step. First, they decided to have no spinners play in the India 'A' team and now it seems that the curators have been instructed to prepare green tops for all the practice games.
Sources in the BCCI told the Indian Express that all the three matches will be played on green tops. Around a week ago, chief curator Daljit Singh was instructed to prepare pacer friendly tracks.
The Cricket club of India, which will host the first game, has always had the reputation of being a track that gives generous assistance to the seamers.
DY Patil stadium, which will host the second warm-up game, will also get the express treatment. Abey Kuruvilla, cricket-in-charge, told the Indian Express, "It will be a good cricketing wicket which will have grass and bounce on it. The pitch will certainly help pacers more but any batsman who manages to stick around can score runs."
The third warm-up game will be played at Ahmedabad's Motera B ground against the Board President's XI.
But the reasoning given by the BCCI for the green tops is that they want to test out their own batsmen in tough conditions.
"England has a quality pace attack and we want to exploit it," they said.
Exploit it to India's advantage that is.
For once, I'm actually liking what the BCCI's doing here. The perfect treatment. Would love to see their players and former players whinge some more.

I am a member on other forums but thought it would be a great time to join this one right now with the england series around the corner. So hi to all!
Anything less than 3-0 to us will be disappointing. The way you guys played v Pak and even SL shows how hopeless you are once you're on an unfamiliar pitch.
Well, at least there's one thing that makes us similar....

Prepare green tops for visitors having proven totally incapable of producing one thus far. Can't see it been the Indian Trent Bridge.

Britney Spears called into On Air with Ryan Seacrest earlier today (June 17) to chat about her forthcoming album, that rumored Vegas residency and her bubbly, bombastic new Smurfs 2 song "Ooh La La." Brit's been cagey about the new album (although executive producer will.i.am has been eager to talk about all those work lunches), so what new details did she reveal here that she didn't talk about before? Well, the superstar emphasized that the new record will be different from anything else she has released.
"[Will.i.am.] has a lot of really interesting different tracks that I've listened to that are really cool that I haven't actually written on yet. But there's a lot of guitar and I think people will be surprised with this album. It's going to be really different." Spears said it'll be out by the end of the year.
As for Vegas? That residency is still not official. "It's quite possible , yes. Nothing's confirmed yet," she said. Head below to hear the full interview.

Infertility and Difficult Conception Book List
New and classic titles on getting pregnant after all
Deciding whether to have a child is tough. So, sometimes, is conception. These books cover a gamut of issues that couples trying to conceive will be hungry to read about, from fertility basics to alternative treatments and emotional challenges.
Conceptions & Misconceptions
In Conceptions & Misconceptions: The Informed Consumer's Guide Through the Maze of in Vitro Fertilization & Assisted Reproduction Techniques, authors Arthur Wisot and David Meldrum give readers the right questions to ask and the means to interpret the answers. The compassionate tone may have been gained through personal experience (coauthor Wisot and his wife Claudia have quadruplets, achieved through ovulation-inducing drug therapy in the early 1970s) as well as the two doctors' years of successfully helping infertile couples have babies.
The book includes a detailed review of the reproductive cycle of both female and male, discussion of the causes of infertility, and an explanation of reproductive testing, treatments, and techniques. It also discusses the high risks associated with both in vitro pregnancy and multiple births, and addresses the future of assisted reproduction. Conceptions & Misconceptions is not light reading, yet it's exactly what the doctor ordered for those with questions about assisted reproduction. Rarely is hard-core science successfully explained in such a clear, friendly, informational tone.

Conquering Infertility
One reader reviewing Conquering Infertility: Dr. Alice Domar's Mind/Body Guide to Enhancing Fertility and Coping with Infertility on Amazon wrote:
If you are looking for a book to give you a cure for infertility this is not the book for you. If you are looking for a book on how to deal with the emotional ups and downs of infertility this is the book. It teaches many relaxation techniques which are necessary when on the emotional roller coaster of infertility. It also gives great advice on how to cope with difficult situations like friends' pregnancies, family, and the work environment. If you want to learn how to better handle infertility emotionally, this is the book for you.
Experiencing Infertility
This book is "a must read for those who are experiencing infertility and who wish to create a family, whether through adoption or through medical treatment," wrote Aaron Britvan, counselor at law, co-chairperson of the adoption committee of the New York State Bar Association, in an Amazon review. "Thorough, thoughtful, sensitive…. Experiencing Infertility: An Essential Resource is filled with valuable insights and is written with emotional understanding by two very empathetic individuals who have lived through it all."
