A Year With God
Description: A Year with God is a daily devotional for men and women focusing on Bible passages where God actually spoke to his people. The author follows each reading with a brief explanation about the context and how readers can benefit from its message in their own daily challenges. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to hear God speak? Adam knew the sound. Moses and Abraham talked with God. But the concept is so strange to us. We hear people talk all the time. There are probably people talking around you as you read this. Are their words helpful to you? Can their words change your life? A Year with God is a 365-day study on the words God spoke to His people in the Old Testament and how those words reveal His nature. "In reading what God actually said, we can discover what really matters to God," Nettlehorst says. Each day's reading focuses on scriptures where God is specifically quoted—in conversation with someone, revealed in a dream, or presented by an angelic proclamation. From topics like hope, faith, and joy to fear, doubt, and sadness, A Year with God takes the very words of God and applies them to life's daily challenges.

A Little Zen for Little Ones™ puts classic and new Zen stories in an accessible context for today's kids (and adults!). With children as central characters and narratives that reflect modern culture, these stories help us examine our values as our world becomes more complex and confusing. After all, if our children can get a little bit of Zen in their lives, perhaps they'll grow up to be adults with a little bit of Zen as well. Wouldn't that be great for all of us?

Troubled Childhood, Triumphant Life: Healing From The Battle Scars Of Youth
Description: TROUBLED CHILDHOOD, TRIUMPHANT LIFE: Healing from the Battle Scars of Youth (March 2010, New Horizon Press) by James P. Krehbiel, Ed.S., LPC, CCBT, is an indispensable step by step guide to release the shame, neglect and anguish of repressed emotions from hurtful upbringings, which we try to erase instead of dealing with. Krehbiel calls this "magical illusions." Seeking to gain the approval and validation of parents who were absent, abusive or dysfunctional, we act out destructive behavior as adults becoming self-defeating, pessimistic and unable to experience joy. Deterred from being comfortable and happy, adults who can't let go of their troubled childhoods risk repeating this damaging chain of events with their own children. Giving productive tips and advice, Krehbiel lays the foundation for new beginnings and provides the tools necessary for leaving the demons behind. He interprets the thoughts and behaviors of children in response to inadequate parenting, imparts methods of untwisting faulty and detrimental thinking and shows how to sort through pain to discard what didn't work so the destructive cycle does not repeat.

"A new Bible for weary parents."--New York Times "Incredibly appealing."--NPR "What makes this latest book seductive is not so much its profanity as its articulation of verboten thoughts . . . letting parents off the hook for their self-recrimination and guilt over bedtime seems the most cathartic tonic."--New York Times "A parenting zeitgeist . . ."--Washington Post Go the F**k to Sleep is a bedtime book for parents who live in the real world, where a few snoozing kitties and cutesy rhymes don't always send a toddler sailing blissfully off to dreamland. Profane, affectionate, and radically honest, California Book Award-winning author Adam Mansbach's verses perfectly capture the familiar--and unspoken--tribulations of putting your little angel down for the night. In the process, they open up a conversation about parenting, granting us permission to admit our frustrations, and laugh at their absurdity. With illustrations by Ricardo Cortés, Go the F**k to Sleep is beautiful, subversive, and pants-wettingly funny--a book for parents new, old, and expectant. You probably should not read it to your children.

The Problem With Women... Is Men: The Evolution Of A Man's Man To A Man Of Higher Consciousness
Description: The Problem with Women… is Men: The Evolution of a Man''s Man to a Man of Higher Consciousness is an in-depth look into stereotypic men today and the challenges women have surviving with them in long-term relationships and marriage. Written entirely from a man''s point-of-view and experience—, and based on 10 years of real-world research and hundreds of interviews—, The Problem with Women…... is Men offers a humorous, blunt, tell-all examination of men, their issues, their refusal to change, and showcases both how women can maintain their sense of empowerment and individuality throughout their relationships, as well as explaining to men (perhaps at long-last) what women say they are looking for in a man. Through his highly-acclaimed book, author Charles J. Orlando explains the evolutionary path he took —from womanizer to upstanding husband, father, and female empowerment advocate. It was a journey that rejects long-held tenets of male behavior; his ever-present pursuit of living comfortably in his own skin. It is the same path he found his true brethren on, albeit struggling with a lack of guts and/or direction with which to channel their characteristics. It is a path of principles and character; clearly going against the grain of society, but critical for men to enlighten themselves, raise their consciousness to a higher plane.

HiQ Specialty accredited calibration gases are a key requirement in many areas of the Petrochemical industry. In petrochemical processing, instrument grade pure gases such as synthetic air, Helium, Hydrogen, or Nitrogen are used to zero and purge analytical equipment. Multi-component Hydrocarbon blends are used with on line/in line process analysers for process verification. Research grade gases, chemicals and calibration gas mixtures are used with quality control, laboratory analysers and pilot plant projects, while Accredited Natural Gas Standards are used in verifying LNG.
For health and safety monitoring, ECOCYL portable gas solutions make calibration of perimeter gas monitors as well as confined space detectors safe, easy and simple. HiQ specialty equipment products such as BASELINE cylinder regulators and REDLINE cylinder regulators and gas supply panels are used in many areas to control gas cylinder pressures while ensuring purity is not compromised.
Environmental measurements for air, water and ground pollution use a number of individual calibration standards to measure Nitric Oxides, VOC and BTEX emissions. SPECTRA-SEAL calibration mixtures offer low level reactive calibration with flat line stability, while other environmental mixtures are produced to meet the requirements of regulatory agencies around the world. ISO Accredited calibration gas mixtures are also used to ensure accuracy and traceability with Emission Trading Scheme verification, and traceable reports
