Countdown to the Perfect Wedding by Teresa Hill Pdf
It was the break that chef and single mom Amy Carson was waiting for—catering to the culinary needs of a ritzy wedding party. Accidentally spilling powdered sugar all over the groom was her first mistake. Not being able to take her eyes off the devastatingly handsome man when the sweet cloud settled was her second. Tate Darnley approached his nuptials like a business transaction—the bride looked good on paper, but romance wasn't a factor. The minute he met attractive, unassuming Amy, he knew there was more to marriage than sealing the deal. Now, as the clock ticked down to his perfect wedding, he had to ask himself—which woman would he marry?
One night at a wedding…! Workaholic Ivy Molyneux is primed for the biggest promotion of her life—she couldn't be more ready to take over Australia's biggest mining operation! Trouble is, after a wildly-out-of-character (and just plain wild) one-night stand at her sister's wedding, it may have to be delayed…by about nine months. Ivy thought hooking up with fellow guest Angus Barlow was pretty crazy—until she finds herself telling this gorgeous SAS officer that she's pregnant. Craziest thing of all? She finds him even more irresistible than ever! Ivy's hoping it's just the baby hormones, otherwise the next nine months are going to be even more challenging…!
In the autumn of 1943 the German Bernhardt Line ran through Mignano Gap, 12 miles south-west of Cassino. XIV Panzer Korps was to make a stand there, holding up the advancing US 5th Army - two thirds American, one third British - whilst Cassino was being fortified. If the 5th Army broke through Mignano Gap before Cassino's fortifications were really strong, Allied armour would smash its way through the town and go on to take Rome. Drawing on the memories of veterans who fought at Mignano Gap, and on extensive archive research, this book presents a wide-ranging account of this major battle, and describes how close the 5th Army came to making the crucial breakthrough. The author served with the Green Jackets in World War II and his 1969 publication, "The Recollections of Rifleman Bowlby", was republished 20 years later.
In November 2007, Channel 4 will be twenty-five years old. Today, such TV events as the 'Big Brother/Jade Goody Affair' have put the channel itself at the centre of public debate. Yet during its foundation years on British screens, Channel 4 was seen as more controversial and dangerous than this. Published for Channel 4's 25th anniversary, this book explores the channel's most important foundation period, under its inspirational first Chief Executive, Jeremy Isaacs. Charged by Parliament to be innovative, experimental, and educational, the new channel had to attract audiences and make a space for new voices. Did it fulfill its brief? It also assesses the legacy of the channel and asks: has it changed the nature of British television, and has the enfant terrible grown up, or is it still a youthful rebel?Dorothy Hobson had unique access to Channel 4 and the team involved in developing it, the ITV companies and fledgling independent producers over its foundation years. Accessibly written, her book uses the words and stories of those involved, and vividly reviews the new channel's successes, problems, adversities, as well as audiences' and press responses to television's new baby and its programmes.
Countdown to Atomgeddon - Europe by James Howell Pdf
The Second World War was reaching a deciding point in late 1944 when the United States formed teams of scientists and specialized military units in the hope of stopping Germany from developing a super weapon. These teams were responsible for capturing supplies of uranium and thorium raw materials and laboratory equipment used to produce the super bomb. Many of the assets that the Germans possessed were vital to help the United States and the Manhattan Project build the first atomic bomb. The teams of scientists and specialized military personnel were called into service as the Alsos missions sent to find and confine many of the prominent physicists and their research work. It was believed that the Germans were close to developing the bomb and would ensure Nazi world dominance. Several of the captured physicists were to become part of the Manhattan Project while others were returned to Germany after the war to rebuild the sciences.

Book 3 in the bestselling 3-book espionage and spy thriller series that has sold 700,000 copies! “Damascus Countdown is fantastic! Rosenberg always keeps me riveted.” —Rush Limbaugh, radio host This time, all eyes are not just on Iran, but on Syria as well. Israel has successfully launched a first strike on Iran, taking out all of their nuclear sites and six of their nuclear warheads—and causing The Twelfth Imam to order a full-scale retaliation. U.S. President William Jackson threatens to support a U.N. Security Council resolution condemning the Jewish State for unprovoked and unwarranted acts of aggression. Meanwhile, CIA operative David Shirazi has infiltrated the Iranian regime and intercepted information indicating that two Iranian nuclear warheads survived the attack and have been moved to a secure and undisclosed location. In danger not only from the ongoing missile strikes on Iran but also from the increasingly hostile and suspicious governments of multiple countries, David and his team are in a race against time to find the remaining nuclear warheads before disaster strikes.
A firsthand account of Latvia during World War II: “A British diplomat’s wife’s beautifully observed eye-witness account of the Soviet occupation.” —Condé Nast Traveler With her husband in the British Foreign Service, Peggie Benton had already lived through the Nazi invasion of Austria in 1938 and had settled comfortably into the day-to-day life of Riga, the capital of Latvia. But the country’s uneasy history with Russia and tensions brewing with Germany just prior to the outbreak of World War II meant their peace was not to last. In this compelling memoir, Benton captures both the small details of life in the city—the markets, the winter customs, the Baltic character—and the terrifying moments during the evacuation of Baltic Germans and the Soviet invasion that left the couple homeless and with an uncertain fate. Their world comes crashing down during the chaos of war, and the Bentons are forced to flee more than twenty-two thousand miles eastward across Russia on the Trans-Siberian Railway to Japan, then through Canada to England, crossing both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. Baltic Countdown is a tribute to the people of Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia—their resilience through the trials of history and their never-ending hope of independence. “An engaging account in its own right . . . A bittersweet memoir of a city on the edge of disaster. Her compelling depiction of Riga and its inhabitants conjures up a world that is almost unknown in the West.” —Studies in Intelligence, CIA journal
"Countdown to Freedom" is the story of a young Dutch boy from the big port city of Rotterdam, Holland who experienced first-hand the invasion of his country by the Nazis in 1940, the wanton bombing of the city by the German Luftwaffe, numerous bombings by the Allied Air forces, persecution of the Jewish population, reprisal killings, the gradual loss of all freedoms, the taking of thousands of slave laborers, the terrible 'hunger winter' of 1944/1945 when thousands of people starved to death and the dropping of food by B-17's and Lancasters to the starving population toward the end of the war. Throughout the war the desire to be free became an obsession. But not all was gloom and doom. There were funny moments and the population never lost its sense of humor. The family enjoyed some good times and laughed but those moments were always experienced under the oppressive Nazi cloak. Symbols of freedom were the contrails of thousands of bombers that would fly over Rotterdam on their way to targets in Germany and the lone Spitfire that one time swooped down low, rocked its wings several times, waved at us and then sped away. But it is not just Freedom for its own sake rather what in the end the cost of that freedom was. That is the story and the message the author would like to get across.

A book for pregnant women who would prefer to give birth with as little intervention as possible, so as to make things as good as possible for both themselves and their babies. The 'countdown' takes the reader through 10 key topics, and all discussion of issues is supplemented with birth stories and comments from all kinds of women and professionals too. The tone is practical, reassuring and even inspirational because the many positive birth stories show how it's possible to have a really happy, healthy experience of birth. Contributions come from Janet Balaskas (the woman who realised we're better off not lying down when we give birth!), Michel Odent (pioneer of water births) and Bill Bryson (the travel writer)... as well as from many other experts and 'ordinary' but extraordinary mothers, who made this book possible. The advice is based on current research evidence and in any cases where the evidence is controversial the research and relevant issues are discussed in an optional extra 'notes' section at the back of the book. There is a comprehensive Glossary of pregnancy terms and a user-friendly Index, so as to make it an optimally useful book in all sense of the word. In short, this is a handbook which could make a real difference to a pregnant woman's experience and also to that of her baby. A comment from an antenatal teacher: "What every woman will want to know, put simply and clearly." A comment from a midwife, perinatal researcher and adjunct professor (Betty-Anne Daviss): "Sylvie has created a prescription for healthy birth in a 10-step approach to keep parents focused on what is important in a potentially disastrous birth environment... She has... provided us with a book that encapsulates anything you wanted to know about keeping your birth normal and healthy..." And a comment from a mother: "Had a very late night Friday as I could not put your book down. Wow!"
'You hold in your hand a miracle. A book about a passion, and the hipsters, oddballs and old heads who share it, written by one of their number, albeit a ludicrously erudite one' - Danny Kelly A revival of interest in vinyl music has taken place in recent years - but for many of those from the 'baby boomer' generation, it never went away. Graham Sharpe's vinyl love affair began in the 1960s and since then he has amassed over 3000 LPs and spent countless hours visiting record shops worldwide along with record fairs, car boot sales, online and real life auctions.Vinyl Countdownfollows his journey to over a hundred shops across the globe - from New York to New Zealand, Walsall to Warsaw, Oslo to Ozstralia, (old) Jersey to New Jersey - and describes the many characters he has encountered and the adventures he accrued along the way. Vinyl Countdown seeks to reawaken the often dormant desire which first promoted the gathering of records, and to confirm the belief of those who still indulge in it, that they happily belong to, and should celebrate the undervalued, misunderstood significant group of music-obsessed vinylholics, who always want - need - to buy... just one more record. A mesmerising blend of memoir, travel, music and social history, Vinyl Countdown will appeal to anyone who vividly recalls the first LP they bought and any music fan who derives pleasure from the capacity that records have for transporting you back in time. 'Graham Sharpe's journey around the second-hand record shops of the UK is full of laugh out loud anecdotes and wonderful observations. A great read not just for vinyl fans, but for anybody who has ever visited a record shop' - Graham Jones, author of Last Shop Standing (Whatever Happened to Record Shops), Strange Requests and Comic Tales From Record Shopsand The Vinyl Revival and the Shops That Made it Happen
A struggling event planner and a sinfully hot astronaut must decide if their fake relationship is worth a shot at happily-ever-after, in this starry debut. Risk-averse event planner Amerie Price is jobless, newly single, and about to lose her apartment. With no choice but to gamble on her shaky start-up, the last thing she needed was to run into her smug ex and his new, less complicated girlfriend at Amerie's favorite coffee shop. Panicked, she pretends to be dating the annoyingly sexy man she met by spilling Americano all over his abs. He plays along—for a price. Half the single men in Houston claim to be astronauts, but Vincent Rogers turns out to be the real deal. What started as a one-off lie morphs into a plan: for the three months leading up to his mission, Amerie will play Vincent's doting partner in front of his loving but overly invested family. In exchange, she gets a rent-free room in his house and can put every penny toward her struggling business. What Amerie doesn't plan for is Vincent's gravitational pull. While her mind tells her a future with this astronaut is too unpredictable, her heart says he's exactly what she needs. As their time together counts down, Amerie must decide if she'll settle for the safe life—or shoot for the stars.

Robert Wise, District Pastor/Superintendent, Southern New EnglandMinistry Network of the Assemblies of God. "I found myself being drawn in as I read and compared the material. Questions I have wrestled with in the past persuaded me to read the material more slowly and watch for evidence of timing. My over all impression was a growing sense of the presence of Jesus as I made my way through the sequences of the scripture. I believe serious bible students and pastors will find your book delightfully informative and inspiring It will prove to be a valuable addition to their libraries and their lives " Dr. Stanley M. Horton, Th.D. Distinguished Professor Emeritus Bible and Theology of Assemblies of God Theological Seminary and Central Bible College, Springfield, Mo. "These chapters in the Gospels are prominent and extremely important. Your comments and arrangement of the parallel chapters are helpful and very well done." Dr. Russell K. Pier, President/Emeritus and Founder of Faith School of Theology, and presently the Founder and Administrator of Pentecostal Conservative School of the Bible. ..".. This is an amazing work of detailed research that would intrigue any serious student of the Bible. I have read many of the harmonies of the Gospels, but nothing that was so focused on these last 10 days in the life of Christ. I recommend this to everyone ..." Dr. Charles Crabtree, President of Zion Bible College, Haverhill, Ma., former Assistant Superintendent of the General Council Assemblies of God. "It was my privilege to receive a copy of the book "The Ten Last Days of Jesus" by David Levandusky. In my opinion, any student of God's Word would benefit from this remarkable tool. It clarifies the final days of Christ in a very simple, graphic and profound way. I believe many will use this special gift to the church of Jesus Christ." Pastor Barry Warren, Pastor of the Greenfield Missionary and Alliance Church, Greenfield, Ma. "Imagine your family sitting in your living room sharing stories of a loved one who had passed away. Each memory shared would be accurate but told through the lens of the individual telling it and as each person shares, a whole picture of the loved one emerges, more complete than any one individual's picture. Similarly, each Gospel writer gives a unique snapshot of Jesus. Pastor Levandusky has done us a great favor by putting the Gospel stories of the most important ten days of the life of Jesus into such a perspective." Pastor Larry Riddle, Pastor of Moores Corner Church, North Leverett, Ma. for 32 years. 1978 - Present. "My dear brother has written an intricate and detailed book of the Last Ten Days of Jesus life that will be a most welcome addition to all Pastors libraries and to the serious student of its word. It is an exhaustive work that required much time and labor and I commend my brother in this fine work."
