The effects of abuse are pervasive; you may be struggling with your health, relationships, finances, and/or career. Abuse penetrates every aspect of your life – no part escapes.
I know you're resourceful, well educated, and have read a lot of self-help books. You may feel like you've tried everything, and yet nothing has worked. Until now.
I've walked this path myself and I've supported thousands of other women in overcoming their childhood sexual abuse to go on to create meaningful, joyful and successful lives.
I'm reaching out my hand to you now. I am your ally in healing. Together, we're going to keep making your life better and better.
What would your life be like if you freed yourself from the cage of abuse?
You don't need to keep struggling. Remember: the key to this cage is inside of you. I can help you discover it.
My site is filled with resources to support you in moving beyond your abuse and into a limitless, joyful life. Please watch the video above for guidance on where to start.
Let's do this together,
abuse as a child,
A Taste of Freedom

It's free.

NOTE: All Wilo ECO 230V, ECO bronze and ECO 16 F/FX models are discontinued and replaced by this model.
The WILO Stratos ECO is the award-winning standard for high-efficiency residential circulators. Automatically adjusting to system demands, pressure by-pass valves, balancing, over-pumping and noisy zones are a thing of the past! Like the commercial Stratos, the ECO offers up to 80% energy savings
compared to an uncontrolled circulator. Replacing up to twelve competitor's models, there is only one pump you need in the truck!

Great pump
Best Uses
Comments about ECO 16RFC, Variable Speed Cast Iron Circulator w/ Rotating Flange & Built-In Check Valve (115V):
I am extremely pleased with this pump. My heating system consists of 4 zones and until recently i had a standard circulating pump, which has a constant output under variable demand. This wonderful pump has a variable output, so when only one zone is energized, the pump automatically adjusts its output to the demand. This reduces energy consumption and the noise level. The pump costs a bit more but worth it.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This universal pump adjusts itself continuously to its environment. No need to fiddle around trying to match pump speed and head to the circuits you have. Just fit and forget.
When it is running it is so quiet you cannot tell it is powered on.

Arena hotel was an unforgettable experience. The staff was extremely helpful and our room looked like a sultan chamber ! I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to enjoy a daytrip to istanbul.

It is located in a very convenient place in the Sultanahmet area. Facilities were not working quite well. For example two of the lamps in the room were burned out and they did not fix them after I asked them to do so after the first night. Internet connection was bad and I had to go to the public place to really get connected. The place was not very quiet and I could hear sounds that other guests made. To be very honest, I don't think the room deserved the price but would deserve if they fix the above-mentioned problems.

Arena Hotel is really worth its price. The management and staff are all so efficient and helpful and the hotel is located walking distance to all the monuments, even to the bazaars, and the seaside. My daughter and I got upgraded to the hotel's suite room and it was magnificent--very roomy, very comfortable and luxurious, with sea view. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone. Very good value!

Rooms are small but clean. The location is great if you need an accomodation close to the major attractions of the city such as the Blue Mosk and Haghia Sofia. Prices for the accomodation and in the restaurant are quoted in euros, not in turkish lira, so this makes prices expensive compared to other restaurants where prices are expressed in turkish lira considering the current unstability of this currency. The breakfast is excellent as well as the restaurant and food is well presented.

I am currently saving up for a 870 12 gauge to replace my little 20 gauge 870 youth. After I get the 870 I'm going to save up for the $279.99 h&r 8lb 20 gauge slug gun just for deer. I like shooting slugs and I don't/wouldn't mind the recoil from a 20 gauge because I can handle up to 40 pounds of recoil if I shoot it standing up. I ran a couple of the newer 20 gauge sabot slugs through an online recoil calculator with the gun weight at 8 pounds. It said 15-20 ft - pounds of recoil out of the 20 gauge mentioned above. That is half of what a 7.5 pound 12 gauge would have. I would like recommendations on slugs for the 20. Thanks!

From Our Editors
As its name implies, Gorgeous Salon does everything in its power to make sure that clients strut out the doors with top-to-bottom confidence. Lively chatter fills the salon as beauticians gather input on their clients' favorite styles and determine the haircut, nail polish, or skincare product to best suit their distinctive features.
While cutting and coloring clients' hair into a bold new style or a variation on the existing theme, stylists make sure to ask questions that include the client in the design process. In a similar vein, aestheticians include a skin analysis with each microdermabrasion treatment and custom Dermalogica facial; this analysis helps them to craft the appropriate blend of products to erase blemishes, sun damage, and embarrassing lipstick marks from mom's kisses. While nail technicians primp fingers and toes at manicure stations, nearby staffers apply stunning makeup, swipe away body hair with wax, and airbrush skin with rich, golden color.

Sometimes I like to write stuff on the internet. I'm a full time student, hobbyist mobile developer and all around terrible person.
Cans & Cubes
on 06.30.2012
I've never met Peter Molyneux, but he's always struck me as a nice, well humoured guy. Sometimes he seems a little bit eccentric, but I believe that he's good at asking the right questions. I can't say I always agree with his answers to those questions, but at least he even thinks to ask them in the first place.
I have to say though, 22cans' recently unveiled project, Curiosity, struck me as odd for a long time. Molyneux always talks about emotion in gaming, something that I spend a lot of mental energy on myself, but this didn't seem like it was attempting to be a breakthrough in emotional gaming at all. If anything, the purchasable levels of chisel reminded me of the very worst examples of "Freemium" games.
Recently I
wrote about
two of - what I believe are - the most important kinds of experiences you can have in a single-player game. Since writing that, a theory struck me as to what I think 22Cans are trying to do.
This time Molyneux and 22Cans aren't going for an emotional breakthrough, and no matter what's in that box, I doubt it will make that kind of impact on anyone. I've realised that 22cans have instead managed to find a way they can have their cake and eat it too. They've found a way to deliver a directed experience - the content of the box - that is also an experience that will be unique to a single person.
Problem is, most people are only going to ever get to interact with Curiosity's packaging, and tapping on a cube doesn't strike me as a very good game. Is it alright to ask a lot of people to engage in a boring activity so that one person gets to see something exciting? Yeah, probably, because they could always elect not to participate. Though I really do think that 22Cans should have considered having something fun outside of the box as well as inside. What do I know though?
I must admit, I now sincerely hope that when that box gets busted open, the person who sees it doesn't fire up fraps, doesn't share his discovery on YouTube and doesn't fill every forum with screenshots. I dream of a world in which it lives on as a whispered legend, a world in which I go to PAX and I hear a rumour as to what was in there, passed on from a guy who "knows a guy, that knows a guy that went to university with a gal...".
22Cans have a chance here to forge a place in gaming folklore, and to live on forever as a mystery debated at convention centers throughout the land.
These Games We Play: Emergent versus Directed Experiences
on 06.27.2012
It was 10pm, I turned off the lights, closed the curtains and put on my headphones, just to get in the mood. You know what I'm talking about. I'm exploring what appears to be an abandoned mine. All is as well as I could hope for. There doesn't appear to a lot of supplies left around, and I can find no way to contact others, but there's a roof over my head and it seems inclined to stay there.
My peaceful exploration does not last forever though, as I return to a fork in the path something approaches from the other side. I don't get a look at it, but it is some sort of wolf-like beast. Maybe it's only a regular wolf, I mean, there's no such thing as monsters, right? I hid behind some convenient barrels and do my best to not freak the hell out - which is to say, I completely freak the hell out. Despite this, I manage to sneak past the creature and head down another passage, but I've allowed myself to get confused, I've seen this all before, I've gone in the wrong direction. I need to head back. To the wolf. I take a moment to mentally prepare myself, but when I head back my timing is atrocious and I gaze into the beast's eyes as it gazes into mine.
I slam the alt and F4 keys as hard as I can. I turn on the lights and promise myself I will never, ever play penumbra again. I also vow that should I ever speak of the events that just transpired, I will fail to preface it with spoiler tags, because I am just that bad of a person.
Anyone who has briefly played Penumbra - even very briefly, for I am a total wuss - will be familiar with the part of the game I'm talking about. It will have happened slightly differently for each them, for one, their sense of direction probably treated them better than mine did, but ninety percent of it will ring true. This is because Penumbra, or at least the thirty minutes I've played of Penumbra, is a very directed experience. Someone has sat down and invested a lot of time in making sure that the player feels stressed, and nervous and incontinent at specific points. A lot of games are like that, precisely crafted to feel emotion A at point X and Y, though never at Z, and this means that all of us who play it get that shared experience. It doesn't leave us with a lot of diverse experiences though, even if a game has branching paths, it only means that we have two (four, six...) stories to compare with our friends as opposed to one. Sure, I get to make the decision to tell Subject Zero to go sling her hook for being the most annoying human, but one in every <however many> also do that and maybe it makes the experience less special? Its certainly less unique.
A lot of people would argue why even make these games at all? Why not just write a book, or a film? I don't have a lot to say in response to that, but what I will say is that I've never had to leave a cinema because a film had shaken me.
On the other hand, we have games that offer more freedom. That offer people opportunity to bust out their favourite buzz phrase: emergent gameplay. Only one person will have the cocktail of genius and cruelty to build the longest coaster to ever be built (
). Only one person will have the patience to watch a world slide into everlasting nuclear stalemate (
). Only one grenade will roll down a hill (
These are all great stories, right off the bat, even someone who has played those games has to say "that's new" and maybe even a wow. This is the power of sandboxes, systems and simulations! These are things that a designer could never come up with, because gamers are smarter, sexier, more creative and super aerodynamic than your average bear (read: designer). I just made some overstatements and spurious claims, but you get the idea.
A designer can do his very best to sculpt an experience, and that might be great, it may score an eight on an arbitrary greatness scale. But if a designer hands you a world and a set of dice, upon which you may perform your own personal rituals - whether that be blowing upon them, throwing them into the air or something more exotic - this gives you the chance to start rolling nines and tens. Twelves. Think of the twelves! But then, there's also going to be a lot of threes.
Right: Bioshocks compelling setting, themes and environments conclusively prove that directed games are the best.
Left: Artemis may not be much to look at but is actually conclusive proof that emergent games are the best.
Heres some more examples of... stuff.
I have a level 85 Rogue in World of Warcraft. In the more directed Old Republic, I am a member of imperial intelligence, a fierce patriot, that foolishly allows himself to be blind to the atrocities his beloved empire commits.
Conversely, I care not about the plight of Dawn of War's Blood Ravens, but the randomly generated Brett and James Martin are heroes of X-COM, my brain has written them an elaborate backstory detailing how their entire family is simply cut from a finer cloth. It even wrote a song for great Brett. Well, it's really more of a brief jingle if I'm to be honest.
Maybe I prefer my heroes of X-COM, solely because other games, which are similarly mechanically, but directed, are poorly written. Maybe its a simple case of no writing is better than poor writing. Maybe I prefer my Old Republic character because excellent writing - and voice acting - beats out no writing, or, at least, no real characterisation.
Using World of Warcraft and The Old Republic as examples is dangerous though, because I really want to steer away from including multiplayer games in this discussion. I'm not saying that there aren't great experiences to found in them. We can revisit them another day for sure, because it is a discussion worth having, but it isnt the discussion I want to have now. I feel they're more difficult to deal with, as most of them tend to straddle the line between emergent and directed. I've always felt that Left 4 Dead, despite its elements of randomness, was very heavily directed, but you can't help but have emergent experiences when you involve other people, especially when half of those people are handed super powers and rooftops. I'm also not going to talk about any casual games, because this just isn't the kind of topic that applies to many them. Sure,your angry birds may topple a thing in a unique way, but the scope of this uniqueness is comparatively narrow.
Sorry guys, you cant hang. Maybe next time.
I've shared some stories of my own experiences with both sides of the fence and highlighted some other stories many of you have already seen and I feel like Ive talked about the merits of both schools. But which is more valuable, the experience that is shared or the experience that is unique?
I've always found that the directed experiences are more reliable at eliciting an emotional response, Dear Esther had a powerful effect on me despite it's lack of freedom, which seems to be a common occurrence. Skyrim bored me despite its' freedom, which isnt as common of an occurrence, but Id guess - and i admit, I am only guessing - that more people experienced Skyrim as a skinner box than people who experienced Dear Esther as a boring slideshow. Which isn't to say Skyrim is bad, I can understand how it could draw someone in, I just rolled a lot of threes, a thing that Dungeons and Dragons has taught me to expect.
Emergent games though, are so much better at "big bangs", so many games try for that big reveal and so often it feels ham fisted. Games like Far Cry 2 do a great job of creating frequent, stress inducing little bangs - your gun jams at the wrong time, it's time to take your pills, your eyes weren't on the road and now you've taken flight, etc...- and then allow the player to manufacture their own big reveal. This reveal, because it isn't scripted, feels a lot more special than if it had been scripted to happen to everyone at minute ninety. But then, a player may play for hours and never have that moment. Players of Amnesia are guaranteed to see something that will freak them out. Players of Far Cry 2 are guaranteed only of three dick heads slamming into their passenger side door.
Right: Sonic 360 conclusively proves that directed games are horrible.
Left: I couldnt think of anything as terrible as anthropomorphic hedgehog-on-twelve year old action. Seriously, who signed off on that?
Would the death of Brett Martin - hero of the people - sting as much as the loss of one of a less randomly generated, well written, character? I don't have an answer, because I havent found that theoretical character yet in a similar context. If I it ever becomes possible to give an aswer though, I'll get back to you.

Ask questions by Keri - 12/15/2014
I went to the St.Paul location to get some general information about what HRI could do for me. I have alopecia and have for 22 years and I am ready for a change. I was nervous but excited as well. The staff was friendly and inviting and I felt they were knowledgeable on my condition and what would be the best choice of service for me. I was quoted a price for a partial prosthetic because I have a lot if good hair growth to work with and although I was referred to Bloomington for a more accurate quote I was told the quote I was given was on the "high" end. Excited that this may be attainable! I went to the HRI in Bloomington and the disappointment began as soon as I walked in the door. It was not as warm and inviting. In talking with the staff at Bloomington, I did not have good hair to work with and I would need a full prosthetic; which in turn doubles the cost and as a result is.no longer an attainable goal. I do not disagree with the cost, or what they can provide their clients; however I am disappointed in how I was given information that was not accurate. I was embarrassed to be shuffled through the lobby with tears flowing down and no one calling to touch base with me until I contacted them a week later. So my advice to you is to ask questions and have then write everything down for you! Maybe go straight to Bloomington!
Check it out for yourself! by Donna P - 08/19/2011
I have been a patient for over 5 years and I can actually say it still chokes me up thinking of my life before "hair". I'm blessed everyday when I look in the mirrow. HRI is my answer to prayer. After trying any and everything...nothing worked, by chance I ended up here after a referral from a co-worker. I really believed there was no hope, I would just have to live with thin hair and people wondering what was wrong with me, what happened to my hair. After my consulation, I decided to try one more thing...this last chance. WOW...you should see me now. (Seriously if you want to see pictures...let me know). I know it seems like everyone is trying to see something that doesn't work the way they claim and I have been there not knowing who to trust or what more you should try, but believe me, you won't regret it. You owe it to yourself to check it out. I have the wonderful thick hair I had when I was growing up. I can shower, go swimming, curl it, straighten it, be in the wind..AMAZING!!!!
Response to owner by Bill - 02/05/2011
Not to get technical, but the MEP-90 is FDA cleared, not FDA approved, and no they are not the same, FDA approval is much more stringent than clearance but I digress. If you bothered to look at the date of my post, you'd have seen that I wrote it BEFORE the MEP-90 was cleared in February of 2010. At that time you didn't have a doctor (not including your hair transplant surgeon) and you didn't have any lasers that were FDA cleared (except the lasercomb). The clearance of the MEP-90 doesn't change the fact that on this site befroe the MEP-90 clearance you were claiming that you were using lasers that had FDA approval when you knew that to be untrue. Last point, why should someone have to pay for missing an appointment when they've already paid for it? What "reasoning" do you use to justify double charging someone?
Response to Avoid by Bill 06/10/09 by Owner - 12/17/2010
Hair Restoration Institute does have the only clinical FDA approved laser devise. It's called the MEP90. Viewers can go the the fda.org site to confirm. It is a medical devise that requires a Dr. percription. Our Dr. is Dr. Nortan Abramson. 34 years experience. For full credentials on Dr. Abramson, you may go to www.abramsonhair.com. We also give a warning to the patient first before we charge for missed appointments. It is common curtiousy to call if you need to cancel so that another patient can use the laser. Sorry Bill you are miss informed whoever you are.
Patient by PF - 06/19/2010
I found the Laser Hair Therapy to be everything the hair loss consultant explained to me. Not only did I stop my hair loss but I actually regrew a significant amount of new hair that I didn't have before I began the treatments. The devise they used to count my new growth was amazing. thank goodness for a clinic that has as much passion and compassion for people like me who once suffered from hair loss. PF

Willie Joe - Bay'd Out ft. Mistah F.A.B. & Clyde Carson
Artist: Willie Joe
Featuring: Mistah F.A.B, Clyde Carson
Producer: Renaissance
Album: The Come Up
Avg Rating: 3.5 ( 21 votes )
Even though Willie Joe currently resides in Atlanta, he always represents his Bay Area stomping grounds to the fullest. Emphasizing that point, Willie offers a reminder in the form of Bay'd Out by bringing in fellow Bay-natives Mistah F.A.B. (who recently squashed his crazy beef with Royce Da 5'9) and Clyde Carson (coming off a semi-hit with Sean Kingston). Laying aside the stereotypical Hyphy-sound for a more street-like demonstration of their regional lives, each MC claims different parts of the California Central Valley, from Sacramento and Stockton. Add a synth-heavy beat from Renaissance, and voila; Bay'd Out could be an anthem for the "new Bay Area" movement.

My 94 2dr. 2wd. Explorer is very hard to get into gears. I know the clutch is only a couple of years (of light driving) old, so that is not likely the problem (and the master/slave cylinders were replaced at the same time).
Someone suggested trying to adjust the shift linkage. Can anyone tell me how to do this (or where to access the linkage)? I tried doing a search, but with a slow dialup connection, I couldn't find what I needed. Thanks!!! |

Posted: 6/6/2005 4:21:58 PM EST
Thanks for the info. The Master and Slave were replaced--not sure if the pushrod is a normal replacement item at the same time.
I did look, and there doesn't appear to be any slop. I'm still wondering if there is a way to adjust the gear shift lever at the transmission. Thanks!! AFARR |
Posted: 6/6/2005 5:46:54 PM EST
The M5OD 5 speed is the typical manual trans in the exploders
The gear shift components are internal (except for the stick) and are not adjustable |
Posted: 6/6/2005 5:55:42 PM EST
Pressure plates(springs)can collapse even when fairly new(two years is not new)
I have not seen an adjustable clutch in many years |
Posted: 6/6/2005 8:03:37 PM EST
You may also want to check the firewall area where the master cylinder is bolted to it, because that's a big weak spot on those vehicles. I had an 88 Ranger that developed a big crack in the firewall under the MC, which led to rough shifting because the pedal was pushing the cylinder through the firewall every time I tried to shift gears. If this is the problem, it won't matter how much you adjust the pushrod.
Posted: 6/7/2005 1:17:39 PM EST
Will get someone to push on the clutch while I check things at the firewall.
I did pull the push rod off, but it doesn't appear to be adjustable. Might play with it a bit more later to see what I can see. Will keep trying (hate to have to put a rebuilt tranny into the thing..not worth the $1k parts price right now). Thanks!! AFARR |

[Last Edit: 6/7/2005 1:23:45 PM EST by MillerSHO]
Either you've lost pressure because of a leak or you have a bad clutch again.
The last Ford I had, to adjust the clutch pedal all you had to do was pull the clutch pedal towards you with your foot or pull it back with your hands. You'll hear it click, when it taken up the slack. This was a 90 Ford so it could be different now. |
Posted: 6/7/2005 1:28:28 PM EST
I had a 93 Ranger with the 4.0 and 5spd. Same trans probably as yours. Mine was getting real hard to change gears as well and finally it would only go into 2nd. On the top cover of the tranny where the shifter pokes through, there is a plastic ball that wears out. I had to buy a whole new top cover assembly since the ball is held in with two pins that are non removable.

2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue Sedan GL 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)
I just took delivery of a 2002
Intrigue, my second GL and a
replacement for my 1999, which I drove
for about 33,000 miles. Simply put, I
just could not turn down the
incentives. GM is making a major
mistake in not continuing this car,
even in another guise (e.g., Buick or
Pontiac). Improvements include more
precise steering and an improved sound
system, as well as a blessedly silent
horn when using the remote locking
system. Handling seems a tad softer,
however,and the car seems to reach its
side loading limits rather abruptly in
sweeping turns. Gas mileage is about
the same (mediocre), but the engine
still provides plenty of grunt when
asked, perhaps my favorite feature.
the full review
2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue Sedan GL 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)
This is a real bang-for-the buck
vehicle. Well optioned, nice handling,
and styling still competitive for a
1997 design. There are some annoying
design flaws (popping sounds in the
steering, flickering headlights) common
to this car, but no problems in the
sense of reliability. The car is very
long-legged and drives quite
confidently at 90MPH.
the full review
2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue Sedan GLS 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)
Finally I was behind the wheel of a car
that felt right in all conditions.
The comfort of the seat was great, and
the leather heated seat that gave my
aching back a real relief after a hard
day at work, a real welcome.
The handling of this car was great,
ABS, Tracion control,and precision
control system, is this what made this
car handle so nice? The looks, it
looked like a dream come true to me.
A car that I wish I would have driven
for years. Now that I have found MY
CAR, General Motors won't make this
Oldsmobile name anymore. Darn.

2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue Sedan GLS 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)
I bought this auto at a credit union

problems yet has only 1000miles.

I have had my Intrigue for 6 months and
I am so glad that I bought this car.
Excellent to drive. Great performance
and very good looking. I like the
leather seats and the cd/cassette as
well as the traction control

2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue Sedan GL 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)
What a pity that this model has no future. Combined with silky engine, smooth transmission, beatiful styling inside & out and great usable space, it's still the best family sedan GM has to offer.
Significant body roll occurs when making quick turns, though.
the full review
2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue Sedan GL 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)
Power steering went out but was replaced immediately. They then forgot to connect the coolant hose but this was discovered no more than 2 miles down the road and they reconnected it and topped it off. Love the style, room, and dual a/c. The engine is one of the best I have driven as far as power, but needs help in the gas milage. Feels fairly good in the corners.
the full review
2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue Sedan GL 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)
This is one of the biggest sleepers in mid-size sedan history. Unfortunately Oldsmobile did not promote this car properly and the Oldsmobile line will disappear in a few years.
Intrigue is a wonderful sports sedan with handling, power and braking that top most cars in this class.
This is the last year for Intrigue and the deals should be excellent for someone looking for something a little different.

2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue Sedan GX 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)
When I test drove the car, I was surprised at the Intrigues's engine responsiveness and smoothness, it's nimble handling, and it's useful space. I have owned many Oldsmobiles and the Intrigue is the best-balanced Oldsmobile that I have driven. The Intrigue handles as well if not better than many compact performance cars. Don't just look at the car. Test drive it! I was surprised. You may be too.

I tore a piece of the top sheet off and want to replace it. A piece 2cm x 2cm, I should have been clearer with my repair. Not sure the type of damage for the OP'er. I will need epoxy.

Heath, Cardiff
Coordinates: 51°30′40″N 3°11′56″W / 51.511°N 3.199°W
This article does not cite any references or sources. (December 2009) |
Heath (Welsh: Y Mynydd Bychan) is a community in the north of Cardiff, capital of Wales, originally called the Great Heath and named as a result of the large park and woodland that it once contained. After the initial development of traditionally middle-classed semi-detached housing (1920s-1950s) and more recently the construction of the University Hospital of Wales on the site of the former Heath Wood (1960s), much of the greenery has been eradicated. Heath Park forms the remainder of this grass and woodland and is very popular, having attractions such as a miniature steam railway and sports facilities. It should be distinguished from the Little Heath (Welsh: Y Waun Ddyfal) which lies to the south of the Great Heath, in the vicinity of Crwys Road. And also from Birchgrove, which is a busy shopping area that comes under the ward of Heath but is composed mostly of more affordably priced housing, mainly of terraced, and has taken on an identity of its own.
The area around the University Hospital of Wales has been known as Saints Corner, due to the number of streets in the area named after well known saints.
The area is served by two railway stations. Heath Low Level is on the Coryton Line, linking Central and Coryton stations. Heath High Level is on the Rhymney Line, linking Central and Rhymney stations via Llanishen, Lisvane Thornhill and Caerphilly.
Cardiff Bus's routes 38 and 39 terminate at the University Hospital of Wales, originating from the City Centre. The 8 now operates between the City Centre and Grangetown, while the 9/9A operates from the City Centre to IKEA and Cardiff Bay, including the Sports Village.The 86 service runs to Lisvane via Heath. The following services run through west of Heath:
- 1/2 (City Circle)
- 21 (Central Stn)
- 23 (Whitchurch/Rhiwbina)
- 24 (Whitchurch/Llandaff/Canton)
- 25 (Central Stn)
- 27 Capital City Green (Thornhill/Birchgrove)
- 35 (Gabalfa or Cardiff Bay)
The electoral ward of Heath falls within the parliamentary constituency of Cardiff North. It is bounded by Rhiwbina and Llanishen to the north; Cyncoed to the east; Gabalfa and Cathays to the south; Llandaff North to the southwest; and Whitchurch & Tongwynlais to the west.
- Cardiff Council: Heath is represented on Cardiff Council by three councillors, currently made up by Lyn Hudson (Conservative), Graham Hinchey (Welsh Labour) and Fenella Bowden (Liberal Democrat)
- Welsh Assembly: As part of Cardiff North, Heath has been represented in the Welsh Assembly since 2011 by Julie Morgan, AM (Labour)
- Westminster: As part of Cardiff North, Heath is at Westminster by Jonathan Evans MP (Conservative)
Popular culture[edit]
'The Colonies' area of Heath is also home to fictional psychic detective 'Vaughan Wylliams', lead character of the web series Vaughan Wylliams: Agent of LOVCRAFT which is partly based in the area.

-Welcome to Parents TV On Demand. A place for parents to learn, share, and develop a healthy family together. Parents TV, our families, our lives. -Hi, everyone. I'm Juli Auclair. You're watching Parents TV. The first time parents get a chance to look at their developing baby is during an ultrasound and that's also when healthcare workers make sure your baby is healthy. Parents TV's Kara Sundlun and husband, Dennis House, take us along to one of their ultrasounds and explain what's happening during the exam. -Baby, you're going to have an ultrasound. We're gonna find out what you're doing, what you're eating. -This is-- We're excited. We're on time. Appointment is 9:30 in the morning. So, I drank my water. My bladder is nice and full, and you're actually gonna-- we're going to see the baby after-- you guys to feel it for the first time yesterday. -Exactly. -So, this is your first pregnancy? -First pregnancy. -First pregnancy. Have you had any problems such as bleeding, cramping, spotting of any kind or anything? -Nothing. I mean, every now and then, I feel, you know, a little pressure or-- but I guess the doctor is telling me that's normal. -Okay. -I just started recently feeling more movements. -Wonderful. -Yes. -What I'm going to do? I'm going to take a look at your baby. -Okay. -I'm going to look at your baby from head to toe to make sure that this little pumpkin has everything that he or she needs. -Okay. -Once I'm done with my part, you're going to meet one of our doctors. She is going to come in and she's also going to look at the baby from head to toe. Just to reassure that everything is okay. -Okay. And so the big question is you'll be able to see the gender, but we don't want-- -I'll be able to see the gender and I understand you don't wanna know, so we won't tell you. -Or you wanna be surprised? -We wanna be surprised. -Okay. Right. -Do most of you wanna be surprised or wanna find out? -It's about 50/50. -Fifty fifty. All right. -Yeah. -All right. -Okay, let's get started. -Okay. -So let's just get you wiped out. -All right. -Okay, this is nice and warm. -It is warm. -It's okay. We have gel warmers-- -So-- -to prevent from freezing our little pumpkin. -So, why do I need the gel? -The gel acts as a medium and it helps transmits the sound waves. -Okay. -In fact, we can use any type of medium, but gel seems to work the best. We can use water. We can use vegetable oil, but gel seems to be-- -I may always wonder that exactly what is an ultrasound, how are you getting to see the baby? It's from sound waves? Or-- -From sound waves. -Okay. -Okay. -For starters, the first thing that I do, I try to look at your cervix, look at your bladder. I'm-- What I'm ruling out here? I'm ruling out a placenta previa and I'm also determining where is this baby lying. Is the baby's head down? Or is the baby's butt down? So, in this one picture right here, I'll be answering a couple of questions. Baby's head is down. This is your cervix here. This is your vagina from here. This is your bladder. Okay. -You want the head to be down, right? -You want the head to be down, but at this stage of the game, baby's head can be pretty much anywhere. -Anything black is fluid. -Anything black is fluid. So, what we're looking at now, we're looking at the baby's heart Can you see it beating? -Oh. -Wow. -There it goes right there, right? -Right there.

We passed Saratoga Apple en route to Argyle, but the stand's happening scene — hordes of people, cider in hands, pouring in and out; live music; wood-fired pizza; alpaca petting — lured us back on our way home. We soon discovered the main attraction: apple cider donuts. Made on the premises, these warm, cinnamon-and-sugar coated, crispy on the exterior, feather-light donuts disappeared by the tray-full about as quickly as they emerged from the fryer.
Upon returning from the stand, I read online that Saratoga Apple's donuts "have been known to inspire jealousy, ecstasy, and even inter-state travel." I wasn't surprised. I have never tasted anything so delicious. And of course I immediately had to tell everyone I knew — new friends, my neighbors, the mailman, everyone at the Niskayuna Coop — about my experience. I quickly learned that apple cider donuts are kind of a "thing" around here. And that you don't need to travel 40 miles to find a good one. And that one of the most popular spots in the area is, as the crow flies, two miles away. So much to learn, so little time.
