Surgical PA SpecialtiesTweet
According to the AAPA, 25% of PAs have a general surgery specialty or surgical subspecialty.
Surgical PAs are able to work anywhere the supervising surgeon has practice privileges.
A strong background in family practice or internal medicine is helpful for any PA seeking specialty work. This foundational knowledge is invaluable in both the clinical and hospital settings. Many surgeons seek well-rounded PAs so they can augment their own specialty knowledge with current generalized practice skills.

Interactive Travel Map | Text the SecretaryAbout the Author: Kurt Volker serves as U.S. Permanent Representative to NATO.
Meetings at NATO can look like a series of speeches at the table by foreign ministers. With the Secretary General and 28 countries at the table, if each one speaks only once for five minutes, it can take nearly 2 ½ hours to discuss one subject. And the reality can be even longer. But that is just one layer of the event. Another is the work going on around the margins of the room and in the corridors, as senior officials hammer out deals on behalf of their governments.
At one point, working through a particularly difficult issue, some 20 senior diplomats from as many countries were crammed into the ante-room off the main conference room trying out wording to chart a way forward, necks craned to look at one piece of paper in the center of the pod. When they failed to reach a conclusion, they flooded into the main room, as one group, making a great ruckus. The Secretary General then convened ministers-only to negotiate directly – the foreign ministers themselves doing the hard work of diplomacy. Some 200 senior officials milled about in the hallway trying to think up ideas.
In the end, the ministers broke for lunch, wording was formulated, and after agreement was reached, the Secretary General delivered the news to the media.
Another step forward for NATO. A better policy for having been debated. And another example of the United States and European allies working brick by brick to rebuild a stronger, more unified transatlantic community. That's diplomacy.

Conspiring to bring the New World Order. Now, after the Crussading West managed the theft of resources and cash from the oil producing and lesser developed countries, it is time to plot the next move. They all dried clean. What is next, drop the DOW to 4000 so the New World Order Leaders can buy it and the world markets from pocket change, own it all back like they did all the financial companies at taxpayer expense. It did not take a lot of intelligence to plan that, more like it is a copy cat of an older trick played in Napoleon time in London. But you know, it is kinda of risky to push forward, I mean what if there are others who plotted to throw in a monkey wrench into all that in the middle of it all and hell break loose.

@ Terry in Connecticut -- According to my opinion, the selected photos you are referring to are PERFECT! Intellectually chosen, with an image atmosphere that offers a platform for further thinking of the issues.
What I mean is that these photographs energize a sharp brain to think of the complexity and the difficulties of such tough diplomatic actions. At least, this is the way these two photos "talk" to me.
I suspect a little irony in your comments, concerning the lack of Mrs. Clinton's image in a more "exhibited" way. She does not need this. We all love her and she is already successful, regardless her photo presence or not! After all she is the one who runs the "brain show." And this is the important factor: brain, not publicity.
More scientifically, concerning communications, sometimes "less is more" and -- far more constructive!
I hope that I did not misunderstand your comments, but on the same basis of yours, someone else could anti-comment that this block should change its name from DipNote to Clinton's.com. But, I am sure that this is something that Madame Secretary neither needs, nor desires to do so.
Again, I apologize if I misunderstood you.

What's amazing is that consensus building in this democratic manner actually is successfull in large part in addressing common challenges.
At a round table, no one sits above or below the salt, thus the landscape of negotiaton is a level playing field.
I trust Ambassador Volker will seek to make sure "consensus" does not eqate with "lowered expectations", nor arrive thereby with "lowest common denominator" results.
For that is why so many crisis and issues remain unresolved for decades.

by John MacArthur
Sanctification isn't easy—it takes faithfulness, hard work, and self-discipline. And even then, it's not purely a function of your will, but the work of the Holy Spirit in you. It's not manufactured overnight.
As with anything that takes time, effort, and patience, people are prone to look for shortcuts. Some people substitute a mystical, subjective feeling of closeness to God for actual spiritual growth. Others cling to outward expressions of godliness while sin still makes a home in their hearts.
But that's not true spiritual growth—it's counterfeit. If you truly love the Lord, you can't be willing to move the goalposts on biblical sanctification.
There are many varieties of counterfeit sanctification. Some are easier to spot than others, but all lead to the same kind of spiritual shipwreck. Here are a few to be on the lookout for in your own life.
Moral virtue can often pass for true spiritual growth. Some people, for varying reasons, are fair minded, loyal, kind, conscientious, hardworking, and generous. They can make it through life without scandals and outrageous immorality.
But morality alone isn't an accurate measure of a person's spiritual condition. Moral virtue can exist apart from sanctification—even apart from salvation. You've probably known nonbelievers who hold to a high moral standard, perhaps even higher than some believers. But their virtue isn't a substitute for saving faith. Outward morality doesn't always equate to inward transformation. True spiritual growth isn't just about good exteriors.
Another counterfeit of spiritual growth is religious superstition. Some believers methodically go through the motions of their daily Scripture reading, prayer times, and other practical spiritual disciplines as if the actions themselves merited God's favor and blessing. You even see this attitude in little things, like praying before a meal. It becomes a mindless, empty ritual instead of an opportunity to express real thanks and praise to God.
The Catholic faith is built on exactly those kinds of superstitious rituals. But just as lighting candles, sprinkling holy water, praying the rosary, and confessing your sins to a priest don't earn salvation, going through the motions of your Christian life—even fastidiously—cannot substitute for true spiritual growth.
Restraint is another possible kind of counterfeit sanctification. People don't always avoid sin in favor of righteousness—sometimes they're simply afraid to face the consequences of sin. They don't necessarily have a heart to obey God or His Word. They're just afraid of pursuing temptation because of the results.
That fear could be the sign of a well-trained conscience. Maybe the person was raised in a Christian home and has built-in convictions about right and wrong. Maybe he grew up under the moral standard of God's Word and can't shake the nagging of his conscience. Rather than face a troubled conscience or the consequences of his sin, he'll simply not do it.
Restraint from sin might eventually lead someone to true, saving faith. But on its own, it's not an indication of God's sanctifying work.
There's one other category of counterfeit sanctification that we'll call false profession. You've probably known people who parade their holiness and exhibit a kind of over-the-top, superficial religiosity. There are all kinds of ways to draw attention to yourself and your good behavior. But if you're just putting on a show for others—if your outward holiness isn't prompted by inward growth—then your holiness is phony.
Another example of false profession is the kind of subjective, mystical experience that's emphasized by some in the spiritual formation movement. Feeling closer to God and more in tune with His Word is not an accurate measure of your sanctification. In fact, relying on those superficial emotions is a sure way to short-circuit the work of the Holy Spirit in your life, dulling your discernment and watering down your wisdom.
True sanctification isn't about outward morality, religious observance, restraint from sin, superficial holiness, or your feelings (1 Samuel 16:7). It's about growing in Christlikeness in all aspects of your life. Anything less is a counterfeit.

Countefeit sanctification is closely connected to counterfeit salvation. The concept of "Once Saved Always Saved" many times creates a life where a person lives as they wish to live without any concerns about sanctification. Surely this statement was given to provide a Christian with assurance God is the total author of redemption, but it has devolved into some type of slogan whereby a person lives as they want to live in immorality or other type of activities contrary to the will of God! Having said that, we also must realize that the Gospel is not a "one time" deal for us at the moment of the New Birth, it is in fact, A DAILY POWER IN OUR LIFE IN WHICH WE RELY UPON ALL OF THE FACETS OF THAT GREAT WORK OF REDEMPTION BY CHRIST TO LIVE THE SANCTIFIED LIFE. Christians tend to lay aside the Gospel under that "statement" and think the Gospel is just for the lost and after we get saved, it is only to be used in that context or at best with them, to remember we were once saved and always saved because of its power, but forget, it is through the same Gospel we move and have our being, and we are depending upon it totally for our sanctification process daily! We can't abandon the Gospel in our own daily life. It is the POWER of God unto Salvation, both past, present and future! Grace has to do with sanctification also not just the new birth!

I am apparently and unwittingly guilty of at least one of these areas of counterfeit sancitification. Until now, I viewed restraint as not only a blessing of the Lord but as an indication of growing sanctification. So how do I know? Is turning away more and more from temptation a result of an increasing desire to be a righteous follower? Or is it merely a recognition that restraint is simply a wise choice? Could you provide some examples of what true sanctification looks like?

Thanks for a great post this morning! I needed a reminder that sanctification happens as a work of the Spirit inside of a person in the core of his being and then produces fruit in that person's life. It is easy to skip that inward process and just look for the fruit; that will ultimately lead to self-righteousness and/or cause someone to give up all together because they are unable to meet the outward standard they have set. Thanks again for a wonderful reminder!
I have been praying to the Lord to help on this issue of Sanctification. I have been hearing so many different teachings on this and reading and searching. The one place , reliable source I find I have is of course The Holy Sprit as I pray and read Scripture to help me understand , in addition John MacArthur always clearly lays out his theology and doctrine biblically.
One view I have been hearing about is how you can be a genuine Christian and then maybe still go out into the world, "reversion ism , a made up term from a well known pastor , but also "carnal Christian" and still believe that you are saved because you professed your faith in Christ by the Grace of God at one point in your life. How can this be I ask myself ? I always get the answer that you can never truly tell who is saved by looking at someone's life because that it is judgemental and arrogance on my part.
So I always go back to what Jesus said , "you will know them by their fruits or if you love Me you will obey Me".
Of course, I still get looks from people that show me a lot of them are confused on this issue. I just received a book by an evangelist , I will not mention his name, but he goes all around the world and he believes this type of doctrine and being a carnal Christian but you are always saved no matter what happens afterwards. But at the same time he does preach that it is important to apply doctrine in our lives and truly live it out so the world can see . The book was a commentary on James and he writes that a believer can be saved by faith , but not live it out and this will lead a person eventually to the sin unto death.
Why are so many church leaders so obscured on this issue? Once saved, always saved!? But what about we are a "new creation in Christ"? So I just keep on enduring and praying that God will guide and help me to rightly divide the truth. I will keep on searching and reading scripture like the noble Bereans of Paul's days.
Thank you John for your ministry and faithfulness to teach the Word in this famine of sound bible doctrine exposition. God is truly using you to help so many of us and I pray He keeps you stronger than ever.
In John MacArthur's booklet, 'Is it Real?' he lists 11 indicators for 'true salvation' or saving faith. One of them being 'Do you see a decreasing pattern of sin in you life?' If the answer is 'yes', I suppose you must consider one of the possible motives under 'Restraint' listed above. I'm not sure what the consequences of my sin might be. But the one thing that always seems to come to mind is 'Be holy for I am Holy' or 'what does light have to do with darkness'. However, I do find myself 'going through the motions' at times that was listed under 'religious superstition'. I do believe in the importance of daily reading but find that it can be drab and unproductive at times. Can anyone offer any suggestions?
Hi Alan,
I will pray that God will increase your desire for His Word and work in you that wonderful , perfect transforming power that it produces through the work of the Holy Spirit. A lot of us go through these dry times in our daily walk with the Lord, but the essential thing to remember is that if we truly desire to obey Christ and learn His Word , He will be faithful to answer your prayer as long as its according to His will . I think we would agree that was what Christ wanted. As we gaze into His perfect Word His glory reflects off of the pages so to speak, and we start to realize His plan for our lives ; doing all for the glory of the Lord. In addition, as you read His Word you personally engage in knowing Him progressively and this is such a blessing . It's through His Word He speaks to us and it's through prayer we are able to communicate back to Him what He has taught us in our personal reading of Scripture.
Another important point to remember is that prayer and reading God's Word go hand in hand if I may borrow that term. This keeps us also away from false teachings , because we search the Scriptures and ask God to help us rightly interpret it. We could never do anything on our own. It is always God working in us and through us. When we begin to understand that Christ is dwelling within us here is where our whole perception starts to change. From our priorities to our daily activities.
Read Psalm 119 , it is one of my favorites just because it explains and talks all about the Word. It shows you just how beautiful and powerful God's Word is to heart of a believer. I pray that this helps in some way. Just know you are not alone in this and the Christian walk was never meant to be that way. The Word truly does renew our minds.
I'm with you, David.
I would like to know what the Bible teaches on true sanctification, as well.
Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
Would you say your restraint is completely devoid of considering God's word on the matter? Are you simply avoiding because of perceived consequences or do you consider God's word as well.
When I read what John wrote I think the restraint issue is marked and highlighted by an absence of a mind that considers God.
Ask yourself if you do consider God's word when fighting battles against sin. If God's word does indeed come to mind then I would cast doubt you are the type of person that John is referring to here. Correct me if I am wrong.
Recently I have been reading Holiness by JC Ryle. This really breaks down sanctification wonderfully from what I have read so far.
In response to Brian's comment,
This is a rather long quote I admit from the very book you mention by JC Ryle and it is very helpful in many aspects. But of course I will always proclaim that The Word of God is the only and best commentary on any issue or doctrine , always in deep humility and prayerfulness primarily to God. the book of James is very applicable and has informed me greatly what the progress of Sanctification looks like and gives several tests to the genuiness of a believer's faith. Not downplaying intense diligent commentaries of faithful teachers of God, but We all agree that God's word is the true source, pure and eternal. His words will never fade away. With the Holy Spirit in us to teach and guide us , it really is not a mystery . God never intended for His Word to be overly complicated. When the true desire is there in your heart , He will give you the knowledge and understanding.
John 15:7-10
" If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
8 "My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples.
9 "Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love.
10 "If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love. "
And now quoting from JC Ryle 's book Holiness:
"That a life of daily self-consecration and daily communion with God should be aimed at by everyone who professes to be a believer —that we should strive to attain the habit of going to the Lord Jesus Christ with everything we find a burden, whether great or small, and casting it upon Him—all this, I repeat, no well-taught child of God will dream of disputing. "
"When people talk of having received "such a blessing," and of having found "the higher life," after hearing some earnest advocate of "holiness by faith and self-consecration," while their family and friends see no improvement and no increased sanctity in their daily tempers and behavior, immense harm is done to the cause of Christ. True holiness, we surely ought to remember, does not consist merely of inward sensations and impressions. It is much more then tears, and sighs, and bodily excitement, and a quickened pulse, and a passionate feeling of attachment to our favourite preachers and our own religious party, and a readiness to quarrel with everyone who does not agree with us. It is something of "the image of Christ." which can be seen and observed by others in our private life, and habits, and character, and doings. (Romans 8:29.)"
That believers are exhorted to "perfect holiness in the fear of God"—to "go on to perfection"—to "be perfect," no careful reader of his Bible will ever think of denying. (2 Corinthians 7:1; Hebrews 6:1; 2 Corinthians 13:11.) But I have yet to learn that there is a single passage in Scripture which teaches that a literal perfection, a complete and entire freedom from sin, in thought, or word, or deed, is attainable, or has ever been attained, by any child of Adam in this world. A comparative perfection, a perfection in knowledge, an all-around consistency in every relation of life, a through soundness in every point of doctrine—this may be seen occasionally in some of God's believing people. But as to an absolute literal perfection, the most eminent saints of God in every age have always been the very last to lay claim to it! On the contrary they have always had the deepest sense of their own utter unworthiness and imperfection. The more spiritual light they have enjoyed the more they have seen their own countless defects and shortcomings. The more grace they have had the more they been "clothed with humility." (1 Peter 5:5.)" JC Ryle Holiness
I have some confusion regarding the moralism point - "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge"... and several other blessings are listed as a result of having "fear of the Lord" - is there a practical way to know if my decisions to reject sin are "moralistic" only vs. having a spirit-led "fear of the Lord"? Thanks.
I find the discussion on sanctification, interesting in that so many people make it so complicated. I am 58 now and when I was born at 38 my life changed before it was sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Now, I begged God to take over my life when I was 33, but I slowly reverted back to my old ways BUT I was miserable I was very lonely and tried really hard to fit in somewhere, I did not fit in with church people, and I did not fit in with the world. Then I started going downhill drug dealers prostitutes etc. I was on my motorcycle going to work, drilling water wells on the Island of Hawaii (The Big Island) and one night well, 3:00 am I was hit by a car, when I was in the hospital it came to me that God allowed it to happen because if I kept going the way I was, I and died I was going to HELL, oh I should have died, I did have my leg amputated (BKA) the driver of the car was hired to kill me it was about me being white and some Hawaiian pot growers anyway the point is everything started to change I went to AA for a couple of years that didn't take, tried a couple of churches (they did not teach the Bible) then I started attending Calvary Chapel on the beach just out side of Lahaina and Pastor Steve Santos gave me a little book to read "More then a Carpenter" by Josh MacDowell it was as if I could really understand that Christ was a very real person and He really suffered for me and loved me, shortly after I went to U-Turn For Christ a rehab (I had been to 4 others for 27 day the program) I was at U-Turn for over a year then went to Bible College. As time past I was conscious of some attitude changes that were surprising and other that were chosen by me and my attitude and joy just took off all I can say is I can never show enough love to Christ because He loved me so much and forgave me so much I am driven to and want to please Him because I love Him. Is this sanctification?
William Scott Stinson
Oh I love listening to John M. about 2-3 hours a day for the last 4 years before that Chuck Smith, for 8 years, read and pray (5:30 am-8:30 or 10:00) because it sets the tone for my whole day, I am a member of the prayer team and am a driver for the homeless shelter I have never been happier and fear nothing, worry very little it is interesting the more I learn about Christ the farther I realize I am away from His perfection but He is my GOD and I am His creation.
Sanctification is a big word and what I mean is: it's kinda churchy sounding when you say it. Of course I want Sanctification the Holy Spirit to work in me and bring me into Christ likeness, so I submit my entire self to him. I'm not thinking about Sanctification, it's happening in me by the work of the HS. I can't control his work, but I submit my life to him and allow him to do it.
The "fear of the Lord" vs. moralistic restraint in self effort is tough to decipher, but I try to approach my daily walk with Christ as something that is an act of the will. I freely surrender my agenda and attitude to him. Actions follow and out of those actions come the fruit of his work. (Joy, Patience, Self-Control....etc).
My freedom in Christ allows for mistakes. I don't want to mess up, but sometimes I do. I quickly ask for forgiveness and then begin again.
When I approach my everyday life of tasks, whether it's in interaction with God's people, my family, and everything else, I have an attitude at all times that Jesus himself where right there with me at that moment. He is observing all my motives, attitudes and actions and witnesses everything because he is working in me. I'm not over-thinking the issue of Sanctification because that's not what I'm suppose to be focusing on. I am to be obedient and submissive to Christ and the Holy Spirits promptings and desires. I'm not thinking "did I do this for moral reasons or because I fear God". I'm doing it out of love for my Lord and Savior Jesus. I want to do the good things that God has for me to do while totally trusting in him to do the Sanctification work.
Paul says in II Corinthians 5:14 says "that whatever we do, it is because Christ's love controls us".
David (#2)
I think Brian's (#9) comment it pretty spot on, but let me tell you what I've noticed in my own life. Restraint is a good thing, regardless of the motive, however, using restraint alone as a barometer of your sanctification is inaccurate for the reasons JM listed. What I've seen in my own life is that day-to-day, a lot of my restraint is because I know sin is wrong, and I am convicted by the Word to restrain, but as Paul said in Romans, the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak, thus day-to-day restraint is no more an accurate indicator of sanctification than the sin I commit through weakness of the flesh. If I were judged by either alone, I would be guilty of death, the former by empty restraint, the latter by my actions.
BUT, I do see in my life a very clear movement away from my past sinful habits, and I praise God for that. The sinful things I used to enjoy or were overcome by, I now find no enjoyment in (sin is always enjoyable in the moment, that's why we sin, but if you can sin and enjoy it without conviction, you may not be a true Christian – Romans 1:32, Romans 7:14-25, James 1:1-15) and find it easier (though not perfectly easy) to refrain from.
It's kind of like exercising, you don't see the effects day-to-day, and you may even think it's not helping at all if you obsess moment to moment over your progress, but over the long term you should see a marked difference.
Romans 12:2, Ephesians 5:26, John 17:19, 2 Thessalonians 2:13 tell us that one important part of sanctification is the renewing of our mind by the washing of water by the Word. So it is important for our sanctification to continue to read and study the Word. However, we must always realize that it's not the rote reading itself that sanctifies us, but the Holy Spirit (Romans 15:16), Jesus (1 Corinthians 1:30, Hebrews 10:10, Hebrews 2:11) and the Father (Jude 1:1) all have the glory in our sanctification.
Sorry guys, I used scripture references based on the KJV, so if the NASB/ESV pop-up translations don't seem to flow well, that's why :(
To Mark (#12). Here is one practical suggestion:
Are your actions and the motives of your heart to please and glorify God, or to satisfy and protect a love of self?
See Hebrews 13:20,21,22.
To Alan (#5)
The follwoing may sound cliche' and you may have heard something like this before-but if not, it may encourage you:
Some days reading Scripture is like breakfast cereal, kind of dry-but we need it for sustenance (and its the most important meal of the day)! Psalm 19:7
Some days its like eating brussell sprouts-we really don't want to, but we know it makes us stronger.
Most days its like desert, we can't get enough of it! Psalm 119:103, Proverbs 16:24
1 Timothy 4:7

Middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik should learn the name of his next opponent in a few days, and it won't be John Duddy.
Marco Antonio Rubio and Giovanni Lorenzo are the leading contenders to take on Pavlik in June, promoter Bob Arum told The Associated Press on Wednesday. Arum spent the day in San Francisco with Manny Pacquiao, who promoted his rematch with Juan Manuel Marquez by holding an open workout at a Nob Hill boxing gym crowded with hundreds of clamoring fans.
Duddy, the Irish fighter with an enthusiastic following in New York, was all but set to be Pavlik's warmup for his quest to unify the middleweight titles. But the unbeaten Duddy took a beating from Walid Smichet last weekend at Madison Square Garden, winning a decision but incurring serious cuts on his face in an alarmingly defenseless performance.
Bruce Trampler, Top Rank's matchmaker, is close to making a deal with Rubio or Lorenzo to fight Pavlik either in New York or Atlantic City, Arum said. Felix Trinidad also had been mentioned among possible opponents for Pavlik, but those talks have cooled.
"Hopefully we'll have it done this week," Arum said. "It may be in Atlantic City, because the magic of New York City was Duddy."
Pavlik (33-0) seems ready to emerge as one of boxing's biggest stars after winning a unanimous decision over Jermain Taylor on Feb. 16, beating the former champion for the second straight time. The WBC and WBO middleweight belt-holder hopes to win all four major titles by fighting IBF champ Arthur Abraham and WBA belt-holder Felix Sturm.
But Pavlik first intends to take on a rising contender after four consecutive exhausting fights against Jose Luis Zertuche, hard-punching Edison Miranda and Taylor.
Both Rubio and Lorenzo have the qualifications Arum seeks. Rubio (41-4-1), who knocked out Zertuche on Feb. 9, has won seven straight fights, while Lorenzo (26-0) is a rising Dominican middleweight who fights frequently in Atlantic City.

In short: A great race around the centre of Kings Lynn & more besidesIn full: My first run in Kings Lynn & a stand out event would recommend this one to all I know as the course is a scenic tour of all parts of KL. Fantastic to start & finish in the Market Place. Great organisation too. Booked for next year already.Date of review: May 24, 2011
In short: Excellent organisation. Friendly marshals and spectators. Very much a flat course, just a bit of a breeze this year. Excellent finish in the market square. I'll be back next year.Date of review: May 12, 2011
In short: Best 10K ever!In full: I was recommended this race by a fellow club member and I have to say what a sound recommendation it was. This is a BIG race, with over 1400 runners. It has excellent support as its through the town centre and is very well organised. Good marshalls/water stations etc.Course wise it is flat/fast but fine for both begginers and speed merchants alike. When entering I thought the entry fee was a bit steep but to be fair it was worth it and was a great day out. All 19 members o our club that took part said they would do it next year!Date of review: May 4, 2011
In short: maybe i'm biased as i am a local but terrific atmosphere due to the town centre route.challenging headwind on the main drag this year still didnt prevent a pb. roll on next year!Date of review: May 4, 2011
In short: Well done to all concernedIn full: Although a seasoned runner , this was my first time on this one . Great fun, brilliantly organised (from starter pens, baggage pick up and reclaim: well done girls !, marshalling, drink, goody bag! Top in every aspect. And (if anyone from Kings Lynn borough is reading) I intend to bring my wife over from Peterborough so we can have a proper mooch round a really nice, interesting townn centreDate of review: May 2, 2011
In short: First race in over 20 yearsIn full: I couldn't have chosen a better race for my first in over 20 years. Very flat and fast. The only slight gripe was the bottleneck to begin with, but still a very enjoyable run.Date of review: May 2, 2011
In short: Another good raceIn full: This is my sixth time of doing the race and still love it. The pinch points especially are in the first mile while runners spread out from the start and was the slowest mile for me.Still got a PBDate of review: May 1, 2011
In short: Superb race, ideal for a beginner or seasoned athleteIn full: Very good organisation, superb marshalling, interesting route around a town I know very well. Very flat, slightly cramped in a couple of places but nothing seriousDate of review: May 1, 2011

What's new in Microtherm?
Where can you meet Microtherm?
Register & receive the Microtherm e-zine
Microtherm® is the global market leader in microporous insulation applications with more than double the market share of its closest competitor. The Microtherm Group has three principal sites located in Europe, the USA, and Japan. It offers global supply and support through these sites backed by a network of Global Partners.
What is a microporous insulation?
A microporous insulation such as Microtherm® is around 90% air, but the air is contained in minute cells between chains of amorphous silica agglomerates of particles from 5 to 25 nm in size - many thousand times smaller in diameter than a human hair.
ASTM C168 – Standard Terminology Relating to Thermal Insulation – defines a microporous insulation as - "Material in the form of compacted powder or fibers with an average interconnecting pore size comparable to or below the mean free path of air molecules at standard atmospheric pressure. Microporous insulation may contain opacifiers to reduce the amount of radiant heat transmitted.".
Microtherm® insulation is low in density with a typical range between 170 and 400 kg/m³ depending on the form of the final product.
Microtherm® is available in a wide range of product forms capable of use in the harshest environments. Further information regarding our diverse applications can be found on this web site...
What is an aerogel?
Aerogels are produced by extracting the liquid component of a gel through supercritical drying. This allows the liquid to be slowly drawn off without causing the solid matrix in the gel to collapse from capillary action, as would happen with conventional evaporation.
ASTM C168 defines an Aerogel as - "A homogenous, low density solid phase material derived from a gel, in which the liquid component of the gel has been replaced with a gas. The resulting material has a porous structure with an average pore size below the mean free path of air molecules at standard atmospheric pressure and temperature".
It is normal practice to use the specific names "Aerogel" and "Microporous insulation" in order to clearly differentiate between the two insulation materials. The main Aspen Aerogels product is a hydrophobic aerogel blanket, Pyrogel XT, formed by reinforcing the aerogel with a non-woven glass fibre batting.
The density of Aspen Pyrogel XT is typically slightly lower than for a microporous insulation at around180 kg/m³.
Upper temperature exposure limits
The upper temperature limits that Microtherm quote for continuous exposure are defined as the maximum measured temperature at which the insulation shrinks less than 2 % in length and width, in a furnace under 24 hour full soak conditions according to the recognised standards ASTM C356, ISO 2477 and EN 1094-6. This is an extremely demanding performance requirement. In most applications with single sided heating, Microtherm® may comfortably withstand higher temperatures but this cannot be guaranteed as so many different factors can have an influence.
Microtherm® products can be reliably rated for continuous exposure to 1000 °C (around 1830 °F). However, at these very high temperatures, as with all insulation materials, a small amount of irreversible lateral shrinkage will occur after prolonged exposure at the maximum temperature limit and above. As the temperature increases, the particles of silica begin to sinter and fuse together, changing the nature of the structure and increasing the solid conduction component of heat transfer. With Microtherm® insulation this shrinkage is extremely slight and rarely has any influence on the effective performance.
The particle size of a silica aerogel causes it to sinter at a lower exposure temperature with a corresponding structural collapse and increasing irreversible shrinkage. The upper temperature limit quoted in the published data sheets for Aspen Pyrogel XT is only 650 °C (around 1200 °F) although even after prolonged exposure to temperatures above 600 °C (around 1110 °F) it has a tendency to become stiff and inflexible.
Above 600 °C, the E-glass covering used on some Microtherm® products will begin to deteriorate although the products can still be handled and re-used. Microtherm® itself is totally unaffected by this temperature. Alternative covering materials are always available. In the majority of applications this will be unnecessary, particularly if the product is enclosed.
Thermal performance
Aspen Pyrogel XT is a flexible blanket reinforced with a non-woven glass fibre mat. In order to present the most objective comparison we will quote published data for both Microtherm® itself and also for a Microtherm® Quilted Panel. Although our Quilted Panel has Microtherm® as its insulation core, the presence of "through stitching" to compartmentalise the Microtherm® and render the panel extremely flexible in three dimensions, also serves to increase slightly the solid conduction element of heat transfer with a small resulting impact on effective product thermal conductivity.
Quilted Microtherm® is available as panels or as SlimFlex® which is a continuous roll of flexible insulation.
All data used for this comparison come from published data sheets on each respective company web site.
Product performance comparison
Comparison of benefits in applications
For any installation, the ideal product would be fully pre-shaped and available in a thickness that required the least number of layers so that installation time and labour costs are kept to an absolute minimum.
Microtherm® MPS (moulded pipe section) offers all of this in full.
Bends are just as fast to insulate as straight runs with MPS bend assemblies with far less layers to apply – MPS is 25 mm (1") thick. Microtherm® Slatted Panel can also be up to 25 mm thick for large diameter pipes and ducts. Microtherm® Quilted Panels can be up to 15 mm (0.6"thick).
For fast insulation of straight pipe runs, Microtherm SlimFlex® comes straight from the roll.
In contrast, Aspen aerogel blanket is only available in roll form and is normally cut to shape and fitted on site. The maximum thickness available is 10 mm (0.4").
Non - Combustibility
Microtherm® is certified as absolutely non-combustible to a number of international standards.Microtherm® products tested to the European Single Burning Item (SBI) test, EN 13823 achieved Class A1 which is the highest possible rating.Aspen Pyrogel XT tested to BS EN 13501-1, Reaction to Fire Performance, achieved Euroclass A2.
Microtherm® insulation products are normally supplied at the lowest density which can be handled satisfactorily, consistent with optimum overall performance. When greater resistance to compression is required, higher densities can be supplied. Depending on the product type, the normal density range is from just below 200 to 400 kg/m³.
Handling and shaping
Aspen Pyrogel XT blanket is easy to shape using scissors or a sharp knife. Because of the friability of all aerogel products, shaping of Aspen Pyrogel XT can be rather dusty and the wearing of goggles, gloves, and an appropriate face mask are strongly advised.
Microtherm® products covered in woven E-glass are clean and easy to handle and virtually dust free.
Shaping of these products is simple and fast requiring nothing more than a sharp Kraft knife and a clean working area.
What does this all mean?
It means quite simply that Microtherm® is the best high temperature insulation available.
Because it has an exceptionally low thermal conductivity across its entire operating range, Microtherm® in the form of Block and Moulded Pipe Section is clearly superior to an Aerogel blanket at all temperatures above freezing.Microtherm SlimFlex® and Microtherm® Quilted Panel, are clearly superior to an aerogel blanket for exposure temperatures greater than 100 °C (around 210 °F) – the higher the exposure temperature, the greater the performance difference.At 400 °C mean (around 750 °F) exposure temperature, Microtherm® moulded products are twice as effective as Pyrogel XT. This means that only half the thickness is required for equivalent performance. At this temperature, Microtherm® Quilted Panel is 25% more effective than Pyrogel XT.Only at temperatures below 200 °C (around 390 °F) does the thermal conductivity of Pyrogel XT begin to drop close to the performance of Microtherm®.
Another clear benefit of using Microtherm® is the upper exposure limit of 1000 °C (around 1830 °F) which exceeds the capability of an aerogel product by almost 400 °C (around 750 °F).Microtherm® is up to four times more efficient than conventional high temperature insulation materials such as Calcium Silicate and Mineral Wool at temperatures around 1000 °C. In practical terms that means only one quarter of the insulation thickness is needed for equivalent performance.
The main benefit of using Aspen Aerogel blanket is that it is particularly easy to shape but because of its friability it generates much more dust during shaping and handling. The Aspen product data sheet recommends the wearing of goggles, gloves, and a face mask when handling the material. It has a limited temperature capability and needs greater insulation thickness because of poorer thermal conductivity. Aerogel blanket is only available as a roll in 5 mm (0.2") or 10 mm (0.4") thickness.
Compared with the Aspen product, the obvious benefits of Microtherm® are –

Some words of wisdom from the source:Chicago deep dish secret ingredient = LAKE MICHIGAN. You don't have anything close in California.And yes you must use oil in the dough. Mostly corn oil, and some olive.You want Malnati's buttercrust? Use clarified butter, and brush it on top of the dough after it's in the pan. The butter permeates everything, giving the entire pizza a buttery taste.Uno Chicago Grill should be destroyed - it has NOTHING to do with the original recipe and is awful. Stuffed Pizza is not deep dish. That picture of Chicago Fire looks like stuffed pizza, Zelda's looks like deep dish.

Skip to comments.Hawaii state registrar Alvin Onaka has publicly certified to AZ SOS Ken Bennett that Barack Obamas
Posted on 12/30/2012 10:09:06 PM PST by wrastu
Hawaii state registrar Alvin Onaka has publicly certified to AZ SOS Ken Bennett that Barack Obamas HI birth certificate is legally non-valid and the White House image is a forgery. He also confirmed to KS SOS Kris Kobach that the information contained in the White House image isNOT identical to that in the official record.
(Excerpt) Read more at theobamahustle.wordpress.com ...
And in other news, OJ killed his ex-wife...
I wish something would come of this, but it won't happen :(
ditto ping
Not holding my breath.
I can't tell if it is a satire site or what, thought I would put it up and let the experts here have at it.
Here is another site claiming it also:
I wonder who 0bama visited with and what was discussed during his Hawaii vacation.. And he cut it short to offer nothing or accomplish nothing on the fiscal cliff.. Hmmm..
i'm still naive. i don't see how sumthin' can't come out this.....there it is, right in front of them, bigger'n sh*t. the rinos are lookin' @ an illegal alien takin' us over a financial cliff......does someone have a set to make an issue of this? one good man?
It's a rumor of a rumor.
It's a rumor of a rumor.
It's a rumor of a rumor.
It's a rumor of a rumor.
It's a rumor of a rumor.
EVERY electoral vote for Obama is thus now LEGALLY KNOWN to be fraudulently-obtained and must not be certified as lawful on Jan 8th.
Here's a link from the Washington Times...
Onakas disclosure is proof of results-altering election fraud in every state in this country, since fraudulent filing documents were used to place Obama on every states ballot. Absent a non-Hawaii birth record, Obama doesnt even have a legally-determined birth date, place, or parents so nobody can lawfully say he meets the age or citizenship requirements to be President and yet every Certification of Nomination falsely swears that he is eligible.
The man is a fraud, evil, mentally ill, dangerous, and destructive. I don't care if it was me against the rest of the country. I'll go to my death believing this.
Obama could go on TV and announce that he was never a US citizen, and that his goal is to destroy the USA... and the GOP still couldn't muster the guts to do anything about it.
whoa...it popped the page for a split second then returned page not found"....
This is an unconfirmed rumor, Sly.
Yup! GOP = Republicants
What? Anyone that could do anything works for the President, short of Articles of Impeachment. That is not going to happen after the lesson of Clinton. Even if the House brought charges, the Senate is controlled by Democrats and would not convict.
This seems like a foolish pipe-dream that fifth columnists dust off periodically to provide the dumb masses with useless falderal with which to stay busy.
The story wasn't sourced. It is taken from my blog, from a letter that I faxed to every R member of Congress.
To understand this, you need to read the letter that Attorney Larry Klayman sent to DNC Counsel Bob Bauer, which can be seen at http://butterdezillion.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/complete-klayman-letter-to-bauer.pdf. That letter includes the documentation you need to see in order to understand this.
The short version is this: Bennett sent 2 pages in his request for a letter of verification. Everybody looks at the 2nd page and thinks Onaka verified everything. But what was on the first page was a request that Onaka verify that Barack Hussein Obama, II, male, was born on Aug 4, 1961, in Honolulu on the island of Oahu, to mother Stanley Ann Dunham and father Barack Hussein Obama. By law Onaka is required to verify every submitted fact that is claimed on a legally-valid BC.
Look at his letter of verification and you will not see male, Aug 4, 1961, Oahu, Stanley Ann Dunham, or Barack Hussein Obama. He did not verify those facts. He did verify that those things are CLAIMED on the record they have, and the only lawful reason left for him to not verify those facts is if the record itself is non-valid.
Hawaii does not vouch for the accuracy of claims on non-valid records (late and/or altered records). By law (HRS 338-17) the probative/evidentiary value of those BC's can only be determined when the BC is presented as evidence to a judicial or administrative person or body. IOW, if the birth record is routine and there are no red flags with it, it is legally valid and it is presumed that the facts are true. If there are red flags (such as a late filing or major amendments that call into question how anybody could be confused on such big issues) HI takes down the information but marks the record as LATE or ALTERED, and by law that record has no legal evidentiary value until the whole sorry mess is sorted out by entities operating under the Federal Rules of Evidence.
And basically right now, the only way Obama can even have any legally-established birth facts is if that happens. The whole sorry mess has to be presented to a judicial or administrative person or body and sorted out according to the Federal Rules of Evidence. That's what this letter is conveying to the R members of Congress.
It's not just a rumor. If you want to help, do so.
Since when is the Rule of Law suddenly "crap"?
It this is your usual attitude, and the attitude of so many others, so surprise the nation is in trouble.
It's only a rumor because it wasn't sourced in the article. This was taken from my blog. Attorney Larry Klayman, among other attorneys, has confirmed that this is what Onaka did in Onaka's verification to AZ SOS Ken Bennett. The documentation is in a letter Klayman sent to DNC Counsel Bob Bauer, which can be seen at http://butterdezillion.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/complete-klayman-letter-to-bauer.pdf
Onaka's verification to KS SOS Kris Kobach is consistent with the AZ verification because Onaka refused to verify to Kobach that the information contained in the White House image is "identical to" the information contained in the original record.
Was this the guy who worked in the office for a short time? Didn't this surface a couple of years ago? Or is this a new whistle blower?
It's not a new document. It's just that the actual request that Bennett made has been made public (it was published on my blog, in the letter that Larry Klayman sent to DNC Counsel Bob Bauer, and can be seen at http://butterdezillion.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/complete-klayman-letter-to-bauer.pdf ) - and includes an application form requesting Onaka to verify information that Onaka did not end up verifying: male, Aug 4, 1961, Oahu, Stanley Ann Dunham, and Barack Hussein Obama. The only lawful reason for Onaka to fail to verify those facts is if he CAN'T because they are not claimed on a legally-valid record.
And we can tell that Onaka wasn't actually verifying Honolulu as the birth place when he mentioned Honolulu in his verification, because if he verified Honolulu as the birth city he would also have to verify Oahu as the birth island, since Honolulu has always been on Oahu. So even though Honolulu is mentioned on the verification, it is not verifying that as a birth fact.
IOW, NONE OF THE BIRTH FACTS from the actual application were verified by Onaka - and the only lawful reason for that is if the record claiming those things is non-valid.
This isn't a new story; Klayman's letter was written back in August. It's just that neither Klayman nor I have been able to scream loud enough to be heard above the smokescreens.
History is going to have fun with this. Too bad elected officials aren't giving this the importance it should be given.
Got a link for that?
The posted story doesn't qualify. It links to a post by a moron named Hendershot, whose lead paragraph contains six links, none of which are remotely pertinent:
Hawaii state registrar Alvin Onaka has publicly certified to AZ SOS Ken Bennett that Barack Obamas HI birth certificate is legally non-valid and the White House image is a forgery. He also confirmed to KS SOS Kris Kobach that the information contained in the White House image isNOT identical to that in the official record.
Dr. Onaka has indeed been heard on the question of the Won's BC. However, unfortunately, his conclusion is the opposite of what idiot child Hendershot claims:
In the above, Onaka officially confirms the fact of Obama's Hawaiian birth, so far as the State of Hawaii knows. Which means he's natural born and eligible to be President, subject to the choice of the Sheeple (plural of Low Information Voter), yadda yaddda yadda! This battle is lost!
You need to look at http://butterdezillion.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/complete-klayman-letter-to-bauer.pdf
Bennett's actual application requested Onaka to verify that Barack Hussein Obama, II, male, was born on Aug 4, 1961, in Honolulu on the island of Oahu, to mother Stanley ann Dunham and father Barack Hussein Obama. Show me where on that verification Onaka verified any of those facts. Show me where he said that he verifies those particular facts.
If you want to say that he verified Honolulu as the birth place because he says he verifies that they have a birth certificate "indicating a Honolulu, HI birth", then please explain why he didn't also verify Oahu as the birth island.
The MDEC verification that you posted never asks for any birth fact to be verified. It works equally well for a non-valid BC as for a valid one. It means nothing. Even the use of the word "matches" means nothing, because when KS SOS Kris Kobach asked Onaka to verify that the information contained in the White House image is "identical to" the information contained in the original record, Onaka would not verify that. He'll verify "matches" but not "is identical to". So "matches" means something other than "is identical to".
Birthers have taken the clear concise English language statements released by Alvin Onaka, ran them through a birther legalese waterboarding parser, tortured them until they supported birtherism and blogged it to the minions.
Klayman needs a Paypal fix.
If that turns out to be the case, and all indications are that it will be, it is because TPTB who engineered his installation realize that nothing, and I mean nothing can be allowed to stand in the way of America's Historic First Black PresidentTM.
Thanks for the Ping, Nully.
The presumption of regularity is that a routine request is handled according to protocols and the law. You don't assume that absent information is simply a mistake. The legal presumption is that if the information isn't verified it's because it can't be verified. And we're talking all of the major birth facts - gender, date, place, parents. None of those things were verified. This isn't just a "typo" or oversight.
It is what it is. If the American people are too dull-witted to see what's right in front of their faces then we deserve exactly what we've gotten.
Please post a copy of any of Onaka's verifications, with his use of the words "male", "Aug 4, 1961", "Oahu", "Stanley Ann Dunham", and "Barack Hussein Obama" (not Obama II) highlighted for us all to see where Onaka verified those major birth facts.
Should be pretty easy to do in Onaka's "clear concise English language statements".
People can go to www.scribd.com and read their pages 20 thru 32 ,
Mother had been refused entry to airplanes due to her nine month pregnancy.
It was a hot August day at the festival so the Obamas went to the beach to cool off.
While swimming in the ocean his mother experienced labor pains so was rushed to the Coast Provincial
General Hospital, Mombasa, Kenya where Obama was born a few hours later at 7:21 pm on August 4, 1961(what a sad day for the USA!).
Four days later his mother flew to Hawaii and registered his birth in Honolulu as a certificate of live birth which omitted the place and hospital of birth."
Most of these early "supporters" of the ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT IN CHIEF were party to the Communists "spooks".
There's a great volume of history you have to go through to understand this, and it goes back to about 1850.
Read these three articles on one of my earlier post:
Way too late, this should have been pushed in fall of 2007....
Finally the truth comes out.
Sure why not — now that he has already been re-elected and will serve out his current term. You slam that barn door shut just as soon as you are sure the horses have crossed the river over younder.
Supreme Court cases that cite natural born Citizen as one born on U.S. soil to citizen parents:
The Venus, 12 U.S. 8 Cranch 253 253 (1814)
Vattel, who, though not very full to this point, is more explicit and more satisfactory on it than any other whose work has fallen into my hands, says: The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives or indigenes are those born in the country of parents who are citizens. Society not being able to subsist and to perpetuate itself but by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights.
Shanks v. Dupont, 28 U.S. 3 Pet. 242 242 (1830)
Ann Scott was born in South Carolina before the American revolution, and her father adhered to the American cause and remained and was at his death a citizen of South Carolina. There is no dispute that his daughter Ann, at the time of the Revolution and afterwards, remained in South Carolina until December, 1782. Whether she was of age during this time does not appear. If she was, then her birth and residence might be deemed to constitute her by election a citizen of South Carolina. If she was not of age, then she might well be deemed under the circumstances of this case to hold the citizenship of her father, for children born in a country, continuing while under age in the family of the father, partake of his national character as a citizen of that country. Her citizenship, then, being prima facie established, and indeed this is admitted in the pleadings, has it ever been lost, or was it lost before the death of her father, so that the estate in question was, upon the descent cast, incapable of vesting in her? Upon the facts stated, it appears to us that it was not lost and that she was capable of taking it at the time of the descent cast.
Dred Scott v. Sandford, 60 U.S. 393 (1857)
The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. As society cannot perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their parents, and succeed to all their rights.' Again: 'I say, to be of the country, it is necessary to be born of a person who is a citizen; for if he be born there of a foreigner, it will be only the place of his birth, and not his country. . . .
Minor v. Happersett , 88 U.S. 162 (1875)
The Constitution does not in words say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners. Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first.
United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898)
At common law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children, born in a country of parents who were its citizens, became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners.
Perkins v. Elg, 307 U.S. 325 (1939),
Was a decision by the Supreme Court of the United States that a child born in the United States to naturalized parents on U.S. soil is a natural born citizen and that the child's natural born citizenship is not lost if the child is taken to and raised in the country of the parents' origin, provided that upon attaining the age of majority, the child elects to retain U.S. citizenship "and to return to the United States to assume its duties." Not only did the court rule that she did not lose her native born Citizenship but it upheld the lower courts decision that she is a "natural born Citizen of the United States" because she was born in the USA to two naturalized U.S. Citizens.
But the Secretary of State, according to the allegation of the bill of complaint, had refused to issue a passport to Miss Elg 'solely on the ground that she had lost her native born American citizenship.' The court below, properly recognizing the existence of an actual controversy with the defendants [307 U.S. 325, 350] (Aetna Life Ins. Co. v. Haworth, 300 U.S. 227 , 57 S.Ct. 461, 108 A.L.R. 1000), declared Miss Elg 'to be a natural born citizen of the United States' (99 F.2d 414) and we think that the decree should include the Secretary of State as well as the other defendants. The decree in that sense would in no way interfere with the exercise of the Secretary's discretion with respect to the issue of a passport but would simply preclude the denial of a passport on the sole ground that Miss Elg had lost her American citizenship."
The Supreme Court of the United States has never applied the term natural born citizen to any other category than those born in the country of parents who are citizens thereof.
Who are tose people?
The birth certificate is a fraud. The election was a fraud. So what? If it meant anything AZ wouldn't allow him to be on the ballot and the republicans in congress would announce no more votes will be taken on anything since there is no legimate controlling authority to sign the bills into law.
AND, if a liberal had brains and a frog's ass had springs....
There is no record anywhere of this guy certifying anything except the validity of the birth certificate. One bogus "news" site publishes this crap, and the other bogus news sites pick it up. It's like the Newton massacre all over again.

Menopause insomnia saver
Posted by Reviewer2650926 on May 13, 2008
Heel BHI, Calming has been my answer to those periods of sleepless nights I've experienced the last few years (I'm 55). Insomnia is common during menopause and Calming under the tongue at bedtime helps me relax without feeling druged in the morning. It is also helpful on those days when everything just seems like it's too much. It calmly calms.
Heel BHI, calming
Posted by Reviewer1603978 on Jul 31, 2008
This medication is very calming to your body. I use it at night when my thoughts are racing and during the day if I am anxious about anything. Being homeopathic, it is very safe and not addictive.
Truly effective for me.
Posted by Galensmom on Dec 29, 2011
As I age, I notice middle of the night wakening, tension. I then take one tablet and I fall back asleep again, relaxed, feel rested in the am. Before bed, if needed, it makes me sleepy within 15 minutes and allows me to just drop off. It works so well I am ordering again.
Very happy
Posted by tinatherese on Mar 06, 2012
I take these if I have problems falling asleep and it has worked every time will now:)
One of the few that works!
Posted by HealthandBeautyGirl on Feb 04, 2014
I have severe insomnia, this is one of the few homeopathic compositions that actually helps me. This is my main go to rememdy when I can't fall asleep, it usually works. The odd time it doesn't, I go to another composition called sleep aid by Nelsons.
I was skeptic at first.
Posted by Reviewer1974609 on Dec 21, 2007
This product if taken at least 3 times a day, actually calms you and not to the point of being tired.
Very helpful!
Posted by Reviewer1626386 on Jul 09, 2008
Very effective and safe for children and adults too (great for anxiety during daytime).
Love this
Posted by Reviewer1333587 on Aug 04, 2009
I have tried other homeopathic calming products but this one is the best. I use this when I have too much running through my head at bedtime. It calms me and puts me right to sleep. No grogginess in the morning either.
Finally, I can sleep better.
Posted by Reviewer2629949 on Sep 29, 2009
This is the first time that I have ordered Heel BHI, Calming. I ordered it to help me be calm and to sleep better. I feel that it has helped me and I will be buying it again. I prefer the homeopathic medication as to the over the counter or prescription medications.
It works!
Posted by Reviewer2366661 on Mar 14, 2009
Amazing homeopathic. Really brought noticible results. My B/P calmed down. Calm in TX

Sibos 2012: FN reports from Osaka29 Oct 2012
As the industry absorbs the ongoing eurozone debt crisis, digests a raft of new and revised regulatory proposals and reacts to increasing cost pressure and competition from developing markets, this year's conference is sure to provide food for thought. Financial News' team will be reporting the latest news from the conference, which is based on the themes of global shifts in economic power, regulation and the role of technology in an interconnected world.
Views from the top: What will drive the growth of securities in Asia?
As investors increasingly turn towards Asia, Financial News asks senior executives what they see as the single biggest driver for growth of the region's securities industry.
Views from the top: Can IT reduce the regulatory burden?
As regulators across the world attempt to prevent another financial meltdown, Financial News asks senior executives for their views on the role of technology in alleviating the effects of cross-border regulation.
Views from the top: A fistful of renminbi
FN asks senior market participants whether the Chinese currency is a realistic alternative to the US dollar's domination of the world monetary system.
Call for co-operation on trade finance
Institutional investors have been urged to move into the trade finance market to provide a secondary source of funding to companies as European banks continue to deleverage.
Securities industry calls for quicker settlement
A shorter time lag between the execution of a trade and its settlement with payment would be beneficial to the securities industry, according to the findings of a survey of industry participants.
Chinese banks withdraw from Sibos
Sibos 2012 is drawing to a close, but the annual conference has been hit by the ongoing political dispute between China and Japan over the sovereignty of eight uninhabited islands. Six large Chinese banks have withdrawn from this year's event in Osaka.
FN from Sibos: ECB defends crisis measures
The European Central Bank has defended steps it has taken to avert a break-up of the eurozone, addressing criticism that it is transgressing its mandate.
FN from Sibos: Iosco chief warns over regulatory divergence
The growing divergence of the post-crisis regulatory agenda threatens to result in "extremely high" costs for the global financial services market, a top regulator has warned. His comments come amid a growing dispute over how rules being drawn up by national regulators will impact foreign jurisdictions.
Good regulation needs timing, not speed
There's an old saying in the markets – it doesn't matter whether you are right, you also have to stay solvent long enough to be proved right. This is as true for policymakers and regulators as it is for traders and fund managers. After all, it is the solvency of whole countries, regions and the global economy that they are dicing with.
Sibos comment: Recognising the value of the IT crowd
Investment banking is renowned for attracting much of the brightest and best talent in the financial industry. But in an age when huge swathes of the industry are under pressure to increase revenues, reduce costs and improve controls, it is technology brains that have become increasingly important to the industry's future.
FN from Sibos: Calls grow for rationalisation of European settlement
Market participants have called for a "forced" rationalisation of Europe's settlement infrastructure as regulators in Brussels put the finishing touches on new rules for the market.
Sibos comment: Peripheral nations create new world order
You have to travel to the New World to see the full extent of the changes taking place in the architecture of global finance: viewing the patterns from an Old World perch often obscures the true picture, not least because the Old World is so self-absorbed in its own economic trials and tribulations that the heat and dust generated from themhides the truth of what is happening beyond.
Frankenstorm puts DTCC business continuity planning to the test
The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation, one of the US market's most important pieces of infrastructure, invoked its business continuity plan late last week in anticipation of Hurricane Sandy which hit the east coast of North America on Monday night.
FN from Sibos: ECB bond-buying scheme threatens the bank's own existence
The European Central Bank's bond-buying scheme to alleviate Europe's ongoing fiscal crisis is both "unprecedented" and "precarious" and could result in the bank precipitating the type of crisis - an exit from the eurozone - that it is attempting to avert, at top economist has warned.
FN from Sibos: Cyber war and espionage next frontier for industry
The financial services industry will have to arm itself against a rise in "war-like" acts and espionage as protestors and nation states increasingly attempt hostile activities in cyber space.
FN from Sibos: Social inequities pose challenge to Asian dominance
Increasing socio-economic disparity and political instability pose a challenge to the Asia-Pacific growth story, regional experts have warned. Their comments come amid violent protests in China that have underlined growing tensions between economic growth and social harmony.
Sibos comment: Decoupling of emerging markets is on the cards
Emerging economies are becoming less dependent on the US and Europe - and for good reason. Reliance on developed markets has led to huge global imbalances and repeatedly served emerging markets badly as problems in the west – most recently during the financial crisis – have fed back down the global supply chain.
Welcome to Sibos 2012 in Osaka
Welcome to Sibos 2012 in Osaka, the ninth year that Financial News has reported and produced daily newsletters from the conference. Over the next four days, we will bring you the highlights from Osaka.
FN from Sibos: Warning over uncleared sovereign trades
Over-the-counter derivatives trades that are set to be exempted from stringent rules being drawn up by US and European regulators represent a "time bomb", market participants have warned. Their comments come as regulators globally put the finishing touches on sweeping derivatives trading rules designed to combat systemic risk.
Out and about in Osaka: sightseeing
Criss-crossed by waterways, Osaka has been famous as an aquapolis since the fifth century. In the city's heyday, boats delivered fresh food and goods to merchants and households, earning the city a reputation as the "kitchen of Japan".
Now cut up the transaction banks
These ought to be the best of times for transaction banking. They are comparable to the 1980s, when an off-balance sheet, fee-earning business that came with the added bonus of cheap and reliable funding had an obvious appeal to banks hammered by interest rate mismatches, loan losses and the defection of depositors to money funds.
Industry prepares for rise of collateral arbitrage
Market infrastructure providers will increasingly engage in "collateral arbitrage" in a bid to compete for business, market participants have warned.
Clients tell custodians: show me the money
Financial institutions and other clients of custodian banks were once content to leave any cash element of their assets on deposit, earning between 1.5% and 3%.
Basel III threat to Asian trade finance
Asian trade finance markets are bracing themselves for a hostile environment over the next few years, caused by the very initiative designed to foster a better banking environment – the Basel III banking reforms.
Hitting the buffers
There is little doubt that changes in the OTC derivatives markets towards centralising clearing will generate a much greater need for collateral. But it is less certain what impact this will have on the tri-party repurchase agreement market and the availability of securities pledged as collateral for these types of loans.
Clearing rules need integrated approach to portability
Market participants fear there is some way to go before European rules on the safe separation and movement of investment firms' assets from a bankrupt broker can be met.
Sellside business struggles to be profitable
Custodians are not a happy bunch, which is unsurprising when you have as clients investment banks – a sector that has spent the past few years trying to reduce costs from nearly every angle.

Topic: Looking for a designer with a big heart...
Over at Kill The Desktop, we're in major need of a good Web 2.0 inspired design. We're not looking for anything overly special or detailed, just something better than our existing design that gives us the room we need to have our episodes, subscribe links, past episodes, and so forth.
We're not in the money making business unfortunately so we're not able to provide compensation. What we can do is give you props in our footer, discuss you and your business/services in the next show, and be the best spokespeople for your business/services.

Few of the Frieze Week art fairs will be as spacious or comfortably installed as its smallest, seven @ SEVEN, which opened on Saturday in Brooklyn and continues through May 20. The hybrid exhibition — part art fair, part group show — has each of the seven participating galleries presenting one piece by one artist (with the partial exception of Ronald Feldman Gallery, which is showing a video by Gil Yefman and a sculpture that appears therein). The artists make terrific use of Williamsburg gallery Pierogi's enormous satellite space The Boiler, taking advantage of its soaring ceilings and old industrial chic to show off large-scale drawings and sculptures, site-specific installations, and a huge tire swing made of flowers.
Though the works on view are all either very large or very loud — Yefman's video features excerpts from a very catchy Jacksons song and other noises — they hang together relatively harmoniously. This is partly due to the broad range of media and images included. Near the entrance to the space is "Watch Your Step" (2012), an installation by Postmasters artist Diana Cooper that features framed images and small sculptures mounted on the wall. The salon-style arrangement of bold-toned stock imagery, abstract forms, and strange synthetic materials has its reciprocal in PPOW artist Ben Gocker's sprawling tabletop installation across the room. Piled high with rough-hewn sculptures, novelty plastic tchotchkes, half-eaten slices of white bread, and mounds of sand, Gocker's piece is at once child-like and grotesque.
Yefman takes up this same aesthetic in his short video "Shivers," where a figure dressed in the artist's characteristically monstrous knitwear — all exposed flesh, erogenous zones, and orifices — dances and crawls spastically across a cartoon landscape of similarly squishy volcanic hills. The sculpture "Blood Moon" (2010) appears briefly in the video and hangs near the center of the Boiler. A small, nude, hermaphroditic figure stands atop the dripping red knitted planet, Little Prince-like. A sculpture by a different artist hanging nearby suggests innocence and play of a different sort: Andy Yoder's semi-circle of small, fake yellow flowers, hanging against a mirror, conjures a kind of pastoral childhood fantasy.
Against these bright and playful works the show's most sober works stand out. Pierogi artist Dawn Clements's latest monumental sumi ink drawing offers a view of the objects on her studio desk, a strange assortment of random items and small sculptures blown up to practically geological proportions. Like Gocker's installation, Clements's drawing suggests a mountain range of man-made objects. But BravinLee programs artist Emil Lukas's site-specific installation, "Skin" (2012), is without a doubt the show's most literally mountainous work. He stretched a sheet of heat-shrunk white plastic over a quarter of the hulking old boiler, its innumerable pipes, dials, nobs, and levers forming strange, abstract protrusions under the shiny material. Its folds and creases echo those in Clements's crinkled paper, while its tactile surface recalls the uncanny knitting in Yefman's work. As an exhibition seven @ SEVEN hangs together very well; time will tell whether it works as an art fair too.
