Ashton Classic Crystal Belicoso (Glass Tube)View details
The Ashton Classic Crystal Belicoso in the Glass Tube is a beautifully hand crafted cigar that will stay fresh until you're ready to crack it open and enjoy the good life. Dominican on the inside and Connecticut on the outside, it's a delicious smoke anytime that you're ready to fire up!
Got one as a gift, couldn't of been more pleased. The even burn, beautiful ash, and a flavor that just wouldn't quit. I have to stock up! As this is a wonderful cigar!
My wife bought me a case for Christmas so I smoked one on Christmas Day. What a pleasant surprise and a great gift. The burn was even, the ash consistent, and the taste was a very smooth nutty taste that lingered. This is now my favorite ciger. I enjoy it more then a Fuente Fuente Opus X, more then a Nat Sherman!
This has become one of my favorite cigars of all time and I now have several friends hooked on them. What a great cigar, the aroma was very plesant and they burn evenly no matter what. The ash is white throughout the smoke and burns evenly. To me there is a smooth nutty after taste that lingers for about 45 minutes. That makes this a great cigar for after dinner desert or a great smoke with friends who enjoy a good cigar.

The Little ThingsTuesday, July 5th, 2016
Interior designer Dan Fink creates serenely handsome homes made of (of course) room-sized rooms. But a smaller scale is celebrated in Fink's introductory web presence, with his website's landing page presenting a series of sublime little still-life studies.
Miniaturized models of iconic furniture designs rest amongst the other essential elements of an elegantly orchestrated space.
Mood boards transposed into table-scales, these images illustrate boldly how the perfect room is the sum of diverse, pretty-darn-perfect parts.
While Hurly and I anxiously and endlessly wait to discover our next (more perfect) home, our frustration with our current, imperfect home festers and intensifies.
These Dan Fink tableaux are a welcome reminder that while an entire home, or, perhaps, a certain room might feel flawed or unfinished to a homemaker, in narrowing in on one perfect vignette or a single sublimely designed shelf-scape, we can give to the eye, mind, and soul nearly everything we're wishing our future or fully-finished homes will someday hopefully exude!

There's so much going on right now and I want to join in the fun too!
I heard about the Finish Along hosted by Quilter in the Gap, but I was too busy with Angus (the pup) to notice and now it's too late to join, but not too late to finish my UFO's and other ongoing projects.
Then there are several quiltalongs:
Sew Happ Quilt
FMQQAYGQal (GREAT!)
Sparkle Punch Qal (I'm so tempted, I love this one)
Scrap Attack Qal
Bargello Tablerunner/placemat Qal
And of course this one Made in Cherry Qal
There are so many many more ...
I can't keep up.
But I could really cry my eyes out when I read I was too late for anohter swap at Strawberry Patch, now a rainbow charm swap. And I wasn't the only cry-baby!
So Emily wants to start another rainbow charm swap if we can find more people to join in.
So PLEASE go over to Strawberry Patch and sign on for this swap: it's great, it's fun and you'll be sooo much rewarded when you'll receive your package in the post with all those rainbow colours.
All the details are here.
And PLEASE JOIN here.
I really have to get a move on making Japanese + and x blocks now! I'll have to make at least 10 and send them up to IsabellatheCat (in the UK) before February 18th, so I'll have to send them the 13th at the very lastest.
Which Qal or swap have you joined?
Have a great week!

So much temptation, especially on flickr! I think we need extra hours in a day to join in all the fun. I joined in the Potholder Pass #10 and the Swoon-along. And I'm tempted to join in the Mouthy Stitches swap, making a little zippered pouch and I'm a Pipster, working on finishing projects without strings attached.ReplyDelete
Ha, well, I'm doing the Sew Happy Quilt, the Scrap Attack QAL, the Sparkle Punch QAL, the Finish Along, the FTLOS Swap, and possibly the Mouthy Stitches Swap starting today, and I'm in 2 bees. I'm also pattern testing for a couple of people, and I have a to do list of my own... hmmm!ReplyDelete
Yay, glad you're enjoying the FMQAL!!!ReplyDelete

Is this the whole "reset > through watchdog" versus "reset through reset" thing you talked about > a couple weeks ago? No, it is different issue, at least at different path. I did some more test and i'll try now to reflect all collected informations: - Only ar9271 devices are affected. ar7010 seems to be fine. - the issue is in: target_firmware/magpie_fw_dev/target/hif/k2_fw_usb_api.c: in _fw_usb_suspend_reboot() this function is called from two points: - _fw_usbfifo_recv_command(), this one is triggered if host go to supend - _fw_usb_fw_task(), this function is called on different events, including reset, some cases if suspend? and resume? last was never called. I'll need to check how exactly this part is working. So, _fw_usb_suspend_reboot() should theoretically prepare adapter for suspend, to reduce power consumption. But there are fallowing problems with this function: - some hosts will completely power down this device. Absolutely no power is consumed and all preparations made by this function are lost (cald reset). - some hosts keep usb port powered to be able to charge some device. It is done only on laptops/pcs connected to power supply (i have one of this, so i was able to check it). In this case we go to some undefined state, and probably prepared to receive firmware. In this state device use about 40mA. - in all cases linux will do reset on resume. So all side effects produced by _fw_usb_suspend_reboot() are reseted. This is why it is so hard to reproduce this case. The problem what we now have is passed from _fw_usb_fw_task(), in this case adapter will restart to boot loader and got ready to receive firmware. But it looks like usb descriptor in this case is incomplete: here is brocken descriptor: Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0cf3:9271 Atheros Communications, Inc. AR9271 802.11n Device Descriptor: bLength 18 bDescriptorType 1 bcdUSB 2.00 bDeviceClass 255 Vendor Specific Class bDeviceSubClass 255 Vendor Specific Subclass bDeviceProtocol 255 Vendor Specific Protocol bMaxPacketSize0 64 idVendor 0x0cf3 Atheros Communications, Inc. idProduct 0x9271 AR9271 802.11n bcdDevice 1.08 iManufacturer 16 iProduct 32 iSerial 48 bNumConfigurations 1 ---end--- here is ok descriptor: Bus 003 Device 003: ID 0cf3:9271 Atheros Communications, Inc.

I got fallowing process. Host send suspend command.... no changes was made, (currently i do not know what should we send as response), host trying to send it some more times and the send reset. After this, adapter is rebooting and firmware is uploaded... so it comes to normal working state. There is no way to support WoW here. So, there is no need to have some sort of reduced power state. I assume, we can remove most part of suspend sequence from firmware. And replace it with some correct response to the host that every thing is ok, or that we do not support this bit. -- Regards, Oleksij

5 U.S. Athletes Born In Latin America
These 5 U.S. athletes born in Latin America resemble some of the best athletes seen. This list is comprised of baseball players, both past and present. Baseball is definitely one of the top sports of Latin American players, due to their involved system for youths in these countries. Here are just 5 of many U.S. athletes born in Latin America.
- David Ortiz. Playing for the Boston Red Sox, Ortiz is much-loved. He is known for his exceptional hitting ability from the dangerous DH spot in the lineup.
- Manny Ramirez. Previously for the Red Sox Ramirez was part of the devastating one-two punch with Ortiz. Ramirez is known for his dangerous hitting abilities as well, with more postseason home runs than anyone.
- Sammy Sosa. Most notably for the Chicago Cubs, Sosa is a former MLB player. He is known for his 1998 home run race with Mark McGwire to brreak the record of Roger Maris, which they both achieved.
- Pedro Martinez. Pedro is recently retired, most notable for his time with the Boston Red Sox. He is the fifteenth pitcher to reach 3,000 strike outs, and is known as one of the best pichers the game has seen.
- Vladimir Guerrero. Guerrero is known for his time with the Expos and Angels. A dangerous power hitter, Guerrero is also known to be rather erratic at the plate, swinging at piches well outside the strike zone. It is interesting to note that Guerrero, along with all the other players on this list, were born in the Dominican Republic, which represents many Latin American-born players who play in the U.S.

TribeHive Connect (formerly HiveCore) is a multi-award winning networking technology which increases the connectivity for fans at the stadium for both home and away matchdays. It works by creating a network between the fans' mobile devices which passes app content from phone to phone enabling fans to keep up with live scores and dynamic league tables even if they don't have a data or Wi-Fi connection themselves. To prevent battery drain, we ask for your location so the technology will only work if you are at the stadium. The app will check once, and if you aren't at the game, it will not activate. If you are at the game, you can control how the app works through the preferences menu in your club app.
Since its launch in June 2014, TribeHive Connect has been used at every Premier League and Championship stadium in association with the clubs we work with. Across all these fixtures, TribeHive Connect has boosted the connectivity provided by Wi-Fi and Data by an average of 55%.
Currently, TribeHive Connect works in conjunction with the official clubs apps of the following clubs:Birmingham City FC – Blues HiveBolton Wanderers FC – Bolton WanderersBrighton & Hove Albion FC – The AlbionCardiff City FC – Cardiff City AppHuddersfield Town FC – Town SquareMiddlesbrough FC – Boro ConnectNottingham Forest FC – Nottingham ForestQueens Park Rangers FC– QPRWatford FC – Hornets Hive

Method for reducing carbon contamination of multilayer mirrors
United States Patent Application
|View the Complete Application at the US Patent & Trademark Office
|Sandia National Laboratories - Visit the Intellectual Property Management and Licensing Website
|A method for reducing carbon contamination of surfaces and particularly the surfaces of multilayer mirrors used for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography by manipulating the surface electric phase field to reduce photoemission. Manipulation of the surface electric phase field can be by depositing a film, such as Si, or other low absorber of EUV radiation, to form a capping layer whose thickness is such that the near-surface electric field is a minimum. For extreme ultraviolet applications, where a multilayer Mo/Si mirror is used as a reflective optic, a capping layer of Si in the range of about 2-4 nm, and preferably 3 nm, is used.

A wise, witty assessment of the contemporary dilemmas of middle-class mothers (in particular: to work or not to work), set in the competitive terrain of New York City parenting.
Using the comfortable format of friendship between four women, Wolitzer's eighth novel (The Position, 2005, etc.) takes ironic stock of how far females have (and haven't) come since feminism tried to rearrange the work/life balance between the sexes. Lawyer Amy Lamb has still not gone back to her job after the birth of her son ten years ago. Her good friend Jill, a one-time prizewinner who recently left Manhattan for the suburbs with her family, is finding it hard to fit in. Their circle also includes ex-artist Roberta who, like Amy, feels happier without the pressures of a job, yet senses dissatisfactions and uncertainty about her identity; and mathematician Karen, whose Chinese parents take great satisfaction in her not needing to work. The women meet for coffee or yoga and mutual support. Aside from Jill's jealousy of Amy's new friendship with glamorous museum director Penny, unaware that the relationship is driven by a shared secret (Penny's extramarital affair), plot events are few. Instead, Wolitzer uses modern domesticity as a lens through which to scrutinize mixed feelings about ambition, marriage, aging, money and the peculiar results of the women's individual choices. Further telling comparisons arise from glimpses of women of their mothers' generation. Instead of conclusions, there are some gradual changes, sometimes for the better.
A perceptive, highly pleasurable novel that serves as Wolitzer's up-to-date answer to the old question: "What do women want?"

8 critical home repairs you can't ignore
Cohabitating critters
You know you've got a problem when: You see them. You hear them. Or you find the damage they've done.
What causes it: Unwelcome guests can be as small as termites seeking food (beams and joists) to raccoons looking to live in your attic and crawl space.
The worst that can happen: Wood-devouring insects can wreak serious structural damage. Larger animals tear up insulation, spread toxic feces and even spark fires.
Fix it yourself? Not many homeowners have the training required to purge pests such as these.
Who should you call? Exterminators or animal control experts who can not only get rid of the pests but find where they entered the home and make the fixes required to keep the next wave of little invaders out.

Jacksonville Jaguars vs. San Diego Chargers Pick-Odds-Prediction 10/20/13
San Diego Chargers (3-3) at Jacksonville Jaguars (0-6)
NFL Football: Sunday, October 20, 2013 at 1:00 pm (EverBank Field)
The Line: Jacksonville Jaguars +8 -- Over/Under: 44 See the Latest Odds
The Jacksonville Jaguars look for their first win of the 2013 season as they host the San Diego Chargers on Sunday.
The Jacksonville jaguars have yet to win a game this season and they haven't been close to winning any of the games losing by double digits in all six. The Jaguars have the worst offense in the NFL ranking last in points per game with 11.7 and yards per game with 270.2 and they are minus six in turnover margin. Chad Henne has as taken over at QB but he hasn't been good completing 58.4 percent of his passes with two touchdowns and three interceptions and he has been sacked 10 times but the Jags could go back to Blaine Gabbert who has been injured but is questionable this week. Maurice Jones-Drew is the main option in the Jacksonville running game averaging 2.9 yards per carry with two touchdowns and he has just eight receptions. The Jaguars receivers are led by Cecil Shorts with 31 receptions, Justin Blackmon has 19 catches, and Ace Sanders has 15 catches. The Jaguars defense allows a 31st ranked 33 points per game and 384.3 yards with three interceptions, 10 sacks, and five fumble recoveries. Paul Posluszny has 54 tackles, John Cyprien has 41 tackles, and Geno Hayes has 35 tackles. The Jaguars are going to need to find some answers soon or this season is going to get even longer.
Phil Sears-USA TODAY Sports
The San Diego Chargers enter week seven at 3-3 and with two unbeaten teams in the AFC West that leaves them in third place. The Chargers offense is averaging 24 points and 397.7 yards per game but they are minus seven in turnover margin. Phillip Rivers has completed 72.6 percent of his passes with 14 touchdowns and five interceptions while being sacked 10 times as his release looks as quick as ever. Ryan Mathews is averaging 3.8 yards per carry and Danny Woodhead is averaging 3.9 yards per carry and he has 36 receptions and three receiving touchdowns. Antonio Gates has 36 catches and two touchdowns, Vincent Brown has 24 catches and a touchdown, and Keenan Allen has 23 catches and two touchdowns. The San Diego defense allows 23 points and 382.8 yards per game with two interceptions, 14 sacks, and five fumble recoveries. Eric Weddle has 42 tackles, Donald Butler has 31 tackles, Richard Marshall has 29 tackles. The Chargers are legitimate threats to make the post season.
Jacksonville is 2-8 against the spread in their last 10 home games, 1-6 against the spread in their last seven games overall, and 1-5 against the spread following a loss. San Diego is 4-1-1 against the spread in their last six road games, 2-6 against the spread against a team with a losing record, and 0-6-1 against the spread following a win. The home team has covered the point spread in four of the last five meetings of these two.
Jacksonville has been horrible thus far and the turnovers have been the Chargers undoing in their losses but I just don't see the Jags having enough to contend here despite the Chargers playing on Monday Night and then making a cross country road trip.

The oceans of the world are teeming with life and are filled with a huge range of microscopic organisms, animals, and plant life. Marine biology is the study of these living organisms that inhabit 95% of the biosphere of our planet (the oceans).
Courses can be quiet varied and will contain a lot of chemistry, physics as well as biology. Central to it will be the observational and experimental study of selected aspects of the ecology, physiology and evolution of marine organisms.
On most modules, students will be required to carry our research projects that will include fieldwork activities, including day trips, allowing them to see marine life in its natural environment. Much of the teaching on a course is supported by practical lab and field work, with students encouraged to undertake their own research projects and to go for publishing their projects as papers in scientific journals. All of this of course means that the course will not get boring as lectures are intermingled with exciting lab sessions, and countless field trips to explore the wild marine life. Most modules are assessed by a combination of coursework and end assessment.

Perplexed by penis extenders? Not easily sucked in when it comes to sex toys? Well, we're here to tell you that penis extenders are "kind of a big deal"... and here are 5 UberKinky reasons why;
Good things come in big packages...
Don't be thick; size matters! As well as ensuring your play is always spot on, a penis extender will increase girth and length to show you really have the full package. When it comes to your manhood, it's not just what you do with it that counts, bigger really is better. So why not slip into something a little more satisfying? Have confidence and wave goodbye to that inferiority complex; now you can really fill a hole. Come on; let making it big go to your head!
When fully aroused, the sheath expands to accommodate, giving you extra girth and a couple of inches in length. So long as your partner can take it all, he/she'll be ecstatic. Oxballs Gym Boy Cock Sheath - Sarob
You won't be able to take your eyes off that prize...
Things are really starting to look up! Want to appear as though you're hung like a horse? Well, a penis extender will certainly assist you with that. But, in addition to that extra length and girth which looks so appealing, the phallic state of your manhood shrouded in one of these impressive sheaths will inspire great arousal for both of you. They really are a stroke of genius!
It fits snugly and grasps at the penis and gives a very pleasant pressure to it. Just wearing it feels good. I'd recommend this to anyone. Oxballs Gym Boy Cock Sheath - B_dobbin
Go hard, stay strong and love them long time...
This type of play has been a long time coming! Designed to keep your erection stronger for longer, you can now fully satisfy your partner and put in the performance of a lifetime. The sensation of wearing alone will give you a lift, but it will also aid you in maintaining it, for sex play that lasts even longer. Some men find it difficult to get in the mood, or simply struggle to perform after a few drinks. But fear not; a penis extender will do the hard work for you!
This sheath provides a snug fit and creates a pleasing light suction on the cock. The construction helps maintain a firm erection and the thickness helps with sensitivity, thus helping with possible premature ejaculation. Oxballs Gym Boy Cock Sheath - Rubber Guy
Deliver supreme stimulation that really sucks...
Get to grips with superior sensations! Thought wearing a penis sleeve would desensitise your manhood? Well, you may not be able to feel every stroke in the same way, but you certainly won't be short on stimulation. Penis extenders create an initial vacuum, which alone provides a sensation similar to deep throating. Additionally, the tantalising texture will offer supremely satisfying stimulation, especially for your playmate. So why not start living large?
Once you're wearing this great sheath, you'll never want to take it off. It feels amazing as it persistently squeezes your cock, all the while maintaining a semi erection, just like a vacuum pump. Oxballs Gym Boy Cock Sheath - Sarob
There's no denying it; penis extenders can be a real cock tease...
Why not expand your repertoire to include a little orgasm denial? Not only will the power play aspect be a huge turn on for you both, it will also ensure that sex play lasts longer and is much more intense. Feel as though you're on the climactic brink at all times, however, now that the sole focus is pleasing your playmate, you can be sure that they are fully satisfied. The perfect way to stay hard until they've had their fill; don't deny yourself the pleasure!
Since buying this item I now can look down at my darling wife as she enjoys orgasms with me. Saved my marriage. Medium Fat Cock Sheath Extender - Babyboy
If you thought that penis extenders were just for the 'smaller' gentleman then you're in for a big shock. Wearing one will inspire superior sex play and promises to enhance any relationship. That really is the long and short of it!
Which Penis Extender
Should I Choose?
So if you finally see why we insist on 'bigging-up' these impressive items, but you're not sure how to get that little bit extra from your play, here are our beginner recommendations;
1. Perfect Fit Fatboy Thin Extender
Sex toys of this calibre are thin on the ground! Perfect for beginners, it will add just a little girth and deliver a terrific tug with every thrust. Crafted from a fine blend of silicone and TPR, it will stretch to fit any size man with ease and is exceptionally easy to put on and take off, hooking securely in place like a cock sling. This stunning sleeve is textured for added stimulation; so if you're big on attention to detail, it's the perfect choice!
2. Oxballs Gym-Boy Cock Sheath
The ultimate workout! This exciting extender will add 3 inches in length to your already impressive member. Designed with optimum comfort and maximum gratification in mind, it features a flared glans and cocksling style strap. The ideal choice for beginners, it fits easily and will stay in place for as long as you can. Crafted from TPR, this sheath will stretch to fit any man with ease and is skin safe, phthalate free and non toxic. Get the stamina of an ox!
Fancy a ride? This remarkably realistic extender is made from top quality super stretch pure platinum silicone. With intricate attention to detail, the veiny texture provides supreme stimulation, while the ultra soft material moulds to your manhood for optimum comfort and maximum gratification. Ideal for beginners, it quickly warms to body temperature and hooks in place like a cock sling. This is a ride you'll never want to come off!

text: The Ruins of Taurajo are all that remain of Camp Taurajo after its destruction by the Alliance. Following the burning of the camp, the tauren have constructed a high gated wall between the Southern Barrens and their homeland of Mulgore. Some of the survivors have fled to Camp Una'fe ("Una'fe", fittingly, means "refuge" in taurahe), along with some of the survivors of Honor's Stand in the northern Barrens.

19 Apr Is Search Engine Submission Necessary?
In most cases submitting your site to search engines is no longer necessary because most of the major search engines follow links to crawl and index web pages. Logically, this means a single inbound link from an already indexed page will result in the search engine identifying your web page. If the page that gets indexed links to other pages within your site all of the linked pages will also get indexed.
What does this really mean for you as a website owner? It means that inbound linking is extremely important. In terms of search engine optimization the ability to acquire back-links is probably the most important SEO function. Of course, theoretically, a website owner should not need to hunt for links. Other websites will want to link to your website information if the content on your site is interesting, useful, important and of high quality. Quality content that people want to link to is the foundation for the Google PageRank algorithm in fact.
Does Submitting Your Site Help?
Submitting your site may not really help but one thing is for certain-it will not hurt to submit it. There is no cost associated with submitting your site to most search engines including the major search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and MSN. If an SEO company tells you there is a fee for submitting sites this is probably incorrect information and a sign that you should steer clear of using that agencies services.
Submitting your site to the major search engines is easy and only takes a few minutes to do so you really do not have anything to lose by taking the time to submit your site.
How Do I know If My Site has Been Automatically Indexed?
It is very easy to find out if your site has been indexed. Just type your website address into the search engine and see if it comes up in the results pages. If it doesn't then you should submit it manually. In my own experience the major search engines pick up new sites very quickly.

Your tax-deductible gift to the Naval Institute Press underwrites worthy books that might not otherwise be published.
A U.S. Army chaplain for the 25th Infantry Division recounts his experiences sharing the hardships and dangers that made up the daily routine of a combat soldier in Vietnam. Chaplain Falabella, decorated for his bravery under fire, offers eyewitness accounts of search-and-destroy missions, night ambushes, helicopter assaults, and a multi-hour fire fight during the first TET Offensive.
The chaplain's memoir persuasively captures the emotions of his men—the anxiety and loneliness—and the effect of the climate and terrain on the mind, body, and spirit. His descriptions of waiting for approaching attacks and visits to the field hospitals are particularly memorable. Running through the narrative are Falabella's observations on the conduct of the war and his efforts to make certain these combat soldiers are never forgotten.

1993 Alfa Romeo Spider VeloceI am the third owner of this little gem. I purchased it from a gentleman in Utah about 15 years ago when I lived in California, nd I brought the car to Michigan with me when I moved to the midwest. I'm 6' 2", nd as I have gotten older, he car is less comfortable for me to drive. Consequently, t has only been out of garage a handful of times over the past ten years, ainly for the Woodward Dream Cruise. I tried to sell it on Craigslist a few years ago, ut I got cold feet and pulled the ad. I knew if I sold it, 'd probably regret it as I would never be able to find another in as good of condition. We recently downsized to a smaller house with a three car garage instead of four, o one of my cars has to go, nd the Alfa is the one I drive the least.
I listed elsewhere the very few issues the car has. Outside of those, he Spider is super clean for its age, nd is absolutely stunning in yellow and black. It has been supremely reliable. I keep it in the garage under a Dustop cover and battery tender hooked up to the battery. I have the original phone dial wheels that I will ship with the car. I love the five spokes, o I have always used those. Several years ago I pulled the original Alpine stereo and installed a newer Alpine unit. I also put an Alpine amp in the trunk and replaced the front speakers with a pair of MB Quarts. I was going to replace the rear deck speakers, ut I never got around to it.
I have never had the car out in the winter. I did get caught in the rain a couple of times, ut the car primarily was only driven on clear, unny days. The previous owner ensured me he and the original owner used the same care. I haven't seen any rust under the hood, n the trunk, n the door panels, r under the wheel wells. Other than a few small shallow dents in the body shown in the fotos, he body is in excellent condition. All mechanicals and electricals work except the A/C compressor, river washer fluid nozzle, nd back up lights. I took the car to a shop shortly after I purchased it to look into the back up lights and was told the wire was disconnected. As the connection sits above the transmission, he cost to connect it wasn't worth it, o the back up lights have never worked since I owned the car.
I have the original owner's manual, roduct brochure, ervice records, nd a few other books and magazines I will ship with the car.
I really hate to sell this little sweetheart, ut I'm hoping she goes to someone who can get her out and show her more. She is just too nice of a car to be sitting under a cover in a garage for 360 days out of the year.
You are welcome to come by and inspect the car in person.

Before & After: The Renovation Diary Reveal of Karin & Jeff's Bathroom
Name: Karin and Jeff
Type of Project: Main Bathroom Remodel
Type of Home: Single-family home built in 1967
Square Footage: 1,800
Years Lived In: 2.5
Karin and Jeff completed their total bathroom renovation right on schedule, an impressive feat especially considering how fantastic the results are. Let's explore their brand new bathroom!
The bathroom is done! Tell us about your new space— have you used it yet? How satisfied are you with the outcome?
Yes! I'm pretty excited to be finished. As I noted before, I actually used the shower a few times as soon as possible — I was anxious to give it a try! It's the main bathroom for guests and centrally located, and so far, I love it! The room feels much larger with the floating vanity, shower tile to the ceiling, and the closet reconfigured to open into the hallway. It's only a tiny closet, but it makes a big difference!
The only thing I don't love is the light fixture over the medicine cabinet. I always have a really hard time finding light fixtures I don't hate (that don't cost an arm and a leg), so I gave up for the time being and went with something very simple and inexpensive. It gets the job done for now and it's not too much to replace if I even find a light that I like that is bright enough to illuminate the whole room (I admit, I will probably never replace it!).
What is your favorite element of the new bathroom?
Can I only pick one? Probably the shower. I love elongated, stacked, matte tile and the new hardware. I actually used the same tile when we rebuilt the fireplace in our basement and I fell in love with it then and knew I wanted to use it again in this shower. Having the tile go to the ceiling (and not having storage above the shower) makes the room feel so much taller and more open. Everything is gleaming and white and a big improvement over the moldy caulk and cracked, yellowing grout and tile we replaced.
And even though we technically have less storage now, it's so much more useful. Having all drawers in the vanity, the addition of a medicine cabinet, and an easily accessible linen closet makes for a more efficient use of storage.
Anything else you'd like to add?
While we're technically done for now, there are two more projects we hope to add once the weather warms up. The first is replacing the bathroom fan. It is very old and doesn't work very well. For now, we took out the motor, cleaned and oiled it, and painted the vent cover.
And while we're spending time in the attic, I'd really LOVE to add a tubular skylight to add some natural light into the only room on the main floor without ample natural light. Going on the roof in the wintertime in Minnesota does not seem like a great idea, so we'll definitely have to wait for things to defrost.

Positive Patient Experience with an EHR is Possible
Colin Hung is the co-founder of the #hcldr (healthcare leadership) tweetchat one of the most popular and active healthcare social media communities on Twitter. Colin speaks, tweets and blogs regularly about healthcare, technology, marketing and leadership. He is currently an independent marketing consultant working with leading healthIT companies. Colin is a member of #TheWalkingGallery. His Twitter handle is: @Colin_Hung.
Last week I had a rare healthcare experience – something that I had only read about in blogs and on Twitter – a physician showed me what he was entering into him EHR while I sat beside him in the exam room! I'm not ashamed to admit that my first thought was "I can't believe this is really happening".
The doctor must have noticed how I quickly moved my seat closer to the large monitors because he chuckled and asked me: "How long have you been in healthcare?". After sharing a laugh he went on to say "It's rare that patients take a keen interest in what I'm keying into the system. It's usually other healthcare people that want to see what's going on. Are you a nurse or a physician?"
When I told him I was in Healthcare IT field he smiled and said "Ah that would have been my third guess."
For the next 20 min he would type a line of notes, point to the screen and then share his reasoning with me. I asked him questions on clinical terms that I did not understand, at which point he would bring up a resource that had a definition. If he didn't have a ready resource, he explained it as best he could and then encouraged me to look it up on a trusted site like Mayo Clinic's.
Near the end of the appointment, the doctor asked me if I was involved with EHRs. When I asked him why, he said the most intriguing thing – "because it's clear to me that the people who design EHRs (a) have never actually seen a patient in an exam room – it's ridiculous how awful the screens are and (b) never thought that one day doctors would sit beside patients to let them see what they are entering."
The latter statement has been churning through my mind ever since.
There is little doubt that the majority of EHRs are less-than-well-designed. Physicians everywhere complain about the amount of clicking required to navigate their EHRs and the number of fields they have to enter. The prevailing opinion is to improve EHRs by getting closer to physicians and actually studying how they really conduct a patient visit. This will certainly yield positive results.
But what if we designed an EHR that was meant to be displayed on a big screen? One that had screens that the patients would see as the doctor entered his or her notes? I believe that designing for this type of usage would result in a more significant improvement in usability and have a more positive impact on patient experience than building EHRs based on better observation of physician workflow.
Consider the phenomenon of open kitchens in the restaurant industry. For diners, being able to watch the kitchen staff prepare meals helps to pass the time while waiting for your order. It also allows the diner to see how talented the chefs are – because they can see them working. For staff, an open kitchen often means that the restaurant has put a lot of thought into optimizing food prep workflow. After all, no one would choose a layout that had staff constantly bumping into each other in full view of diners.
If a company designed an EHR that could be shared with patients, they would not only improve the interface for physicians, but they would also provide a means for that physician to improve the overall patient experience.
I hope that more physicians adopt the practice of sharing their EHR screens with patients during a visit. Doing so will immediately improve patient experience and will push vendors to improve their solutions at a far greater pace.

Budgewoi Lake: Exclusive Use this Sunday
9 February 2012
Roads and Maritime Services has granted an exclusive use aquatic licence for the safe staging of power boat races at Budgewoi Lake this Sunday (12 Feb).
Maritime Services Acting Regional Manager Hawkesbury/ Broken Bay Hendrik Clasie said boaters should keep clear of the south east corner of the lake, south of Bluff Point between 10am and 5pm.
"This area will be used exclusively for the safe staging of power boat races," Mr Clasie said.
"For safety reasons, skippers should keep clear of this area as it will be restricted for the event and patrolled by control vessels."
Mr Clasie said unauthorised vessels would not be permitted to enter the exclusive use area unless authorised by event organisers, a Maritime Boating Safety Officer or a Police Officer.

If you like trading volatility, you probably love earnings season. Every 3 months publically traded companies around the world report their quarterly earnings. Sometimes their stock's reaction is muted or relatively boring but other times, it's epic. Stocks may gain or lose more than half of their value based on a single earnings statement.
Even if you aren't a volatility trader, earnings season can sometimes present prime opportunities to buy your favorite company at a discount when earnings disappoint.
At WooTrader, we're always trying to give you the information you need in a format that's easy to understand.
We're excited to announce our new earnings screen and it's available FREE to everybody! You don't have to be a WooTrader member (although you could be—click here) to see our earnings screen.
How it Works
By default, our table is ordered by earnings date. Any earnings announcements happening today will be at the top of the screen. You can click any of the headings to organize the table by that column or type the company's stock ticker into the search bar to see just that stock.
In the Info column on the left side of your screen, you can see detailed information about the stock, any news related to the company, and any other information that we think will be important to you.
The "WR" ranking is WooTrader's proprietary ranking based on more than 86 million data points that we dynamically weight based on current market conditions. You can learn more about our ranking system here.
We all know that a stock's reaction to its earnings report is based on what other big investors think of the report. "The Street" has an expectation and how the stock measures up to the expectation is what causes the movement.
Because of that, most of our table is devoted to what these market movers have established as the expectation. Zacks is a highly respected data source that every serious investor knows well. We included Zacks rating of the stock and its price target.
"The Street" section compiles all of the known analyst ratings for the stock and reports the consensus estimate.
The stock may end up having a bad earnings report but analysts believe that the long term growth for the company is solid. We have that listed in the "Long Term" section.
Tip Ranks is another well-respected data source that compiles information from more than 4,000 Wall Street analysts, 5,500 financial bloggers, and 300 hedge fund managers. You'll find that in our table as well.
Finally, we list the past earnings information including the percentage of times the stock surprises The Street. Knowing how volatile the stock was in the past can help you better gauge the risk/reward of your trade.
We don't recommend that you commit any significant portion of your portfolio to trading earnings unless you're a highly advanced trader but buying quality companies that drop in value due to earnings makes sense if you plan to hold for the longer term.
This FREE report is all you need to get up-to-speed on who's reporting earnings and what The Street believes will be in the report.
And if you're new to WooTrader and just now checking it out, head to our home page and read more. You can try it out for free for 30 days.

Note: this article contains major spoilers.
In today's fourth and final installment of our series looking at Hideo Kojima's Metal Gear Solid series, we'll be addressing the latest game, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (2008). As the game was co-directed with Shuyo Murata, and with significant input from American localizers, it's a little difficult to tell how much of the game comes from Kojima's own head and how much comes to us from other contributors; likewise, the title is a mixed bag of the very awesome and the utterly despicable. Nevertheless, it makes a gallant effort in places, particularly in redeeming some of the series' earlier failures.
The first thing we need to address is quantity. Previous MGS games have all featured women in the single digits, rarely if ever passing the Bechdel Test. In MGS4, we get dozens: the strongest enemies the player faces off against on the field are a group of highly-trained female soldiers known as FROGs. I personally see no problem in the heroes mowing down female opponents in exactly the same way they do male flunkies: anonymity is one form of equality, and the sooner games stop treating The Female as an exotic, the better. As an added bonus, the FROGs are dressed in practical head-to-foot armor, only earning a point off for their over-detailed chestplates.
In another departure from previous games, the majority of MGS4's boss characters are also female. However, these four bosses, known as the Beauty & Beast Unit, are about as far from inspiring as it's possible to get: dressed in skin-tight suits and viewed from every erotic angle possible, the B&Bs are described in-game as tragic, PTSD-afflicted damsels whose feminine natures have been overtaken by ugly, beast-like fighting personae. Yup: super model comeliness characterized as a sort of virginal purity, "violated" and made "ugly" by the horrors of war. Whether you kill them or defeat them nonlethally, the game congratulates Snake for ending their suffering, as the women curl up into fetal positions on the floor.
An easter egg in the game even allows you to take photographs of the Beauties while they pose sexily for you, because that's not further demeaning them at all. Players need to face up to it: these are not characters, they are masturbation material. At best, they are a clumsily-executed leitmotif to accent the game's themes, and at worst, they contradict the forward strides made by other female characters.
A returning character from the first Metal Gear Solid (1998), Naomi Hunter both exceeded and fell far short of this player's expectations. While Naomi helps save the day, we only hear about it from other characters, with most of her own screen time devoted to having sex with Otacon in clear earshot of Snake and hooking up with a Depraved Bisexual Stereotype for an arcane, Machiavellian purpose. Honestly, of all the women in this game with significant face time, Naomi is the one who once again frustrates me the most. Like MGS1, it isn't that she's a bad character necessarily; I just feel that the story's execution of her is severely lacking. To give you an example: we hear that Naomi set into development the computer virus that saves the world, but what we see is a woman clinging smugly to Vamp's arm soon after sleeping with Otacon. Likewise, when Naomi is speaking seriously about something essential to the story, Snake hints at us to press the POV trigger to try to get a peek up her skirt. (And even if we don't indulge, he certainly does.) What does the game really wish us to make of her?
There is some more unequivocally good news, however. Olga's daughter, Sunny, is shown to be a seven-year-old computer programming prodigy, kicking around in hand-me-down combat boots just as gaily as she plays at cooking. Her adopted parents, Snake and Otacon, don't appear inclined to impede her personality one way or another: she has just as many conventionally "boyish" as "girly" affectations, seeming to pick and choose whatever qualities she feels drawn to; only Naomi makes an effort to counsel her on how to supposedly act her gender, and only the utilitarian advice seems to stick.
Then there's Meryl. When we last saw her in MGS1, she was little more than a recurring sexist joke thinly done up as a character. And given the litany of abuses she suffered (torture and rape among them), no one could really fault her for falling apart at the seams. In MGS4, however, she has turned into a stable, seasoned career soldier. She seems to have recovered from her past traumas, and old sexual tension with Snake is largely dealt with by their first meeting, after which we see she is the cool, capable commander of her own elite unit. She even possesses sensible battle attire and realistic upper body mass– a shocking thing when you compare her to the twig-like, underdressed creature in her last appearance.
Over the course of the game, Meryl develops romantic feelings for her subordinate, Johnny Sasaki, who spontaneously proposes to her in the heat of a firefight in the last chapter. Meryl, annoyed, rebuffs him; when Johnny asks if it's something he did, Meryl counters that she simply prefers to do things her way, and with that, she drags him behind cover and proposes to him instead. Stunned, Johnny stutters out a yes, after which the two go right back to mowing down enemies. As this is going on, Meryl rants that she wants "a real wedding, with flowers, and a cake;" and adds rapturously: "It's what I've always wanted, ever since I was a little girl!"
We catch up with the two in the epilogue, where we find Meryl getting all dolled up for her white wedding– with her gun holster still buckled around her hip. It's quite obvious that Meryl, like Sunny, feels welcome to act however masculine or feminine as she likes, no matter the occasion. Her fellow strong women, Olga and the Boss, both come across as aggressively desexualized; with Meryl, the game is letting us know that this isn't the only option open to a woman in the Kojima story universe. Meryl is the same as the gun-toting manly men that grace the series' game covers; the only difference is, sometimes she feels like being a pretty princess too, and that's okay.
Had Metal Gear Solid 4 stopped short of the B&B Unit, I'd have a far more positive feeling about its female offerings. As it is, the inclusion of the B&Bs' male gaze garbage seems at cross purposes with how much the game seems to want to say with Meryl and Sunny. Nevertheless, given that the B&Bs represent what is essentially standard of video game females, the fact that we even have a Meryl or Sunny (or Olga or Boss) to talk about is frankly spectacular, and note should be made of it.
On the whole, the Metal Gear Solid series' women are far from perfect, but they provide us with far more than we might expect from the packaging. No woman is just a damsel in distress or eye candy devoid of substance, and I hope these articles have done a little to highlight what I feel are the more successful characters.
Next week we'll be turning our attention to the 2008 multiplatform release, Mirror's Edge. In the mean time, thanks for reading, and as always, your comments are welcome!

So Here I am coming in almost a week after everyone else has started but thats fine. I'll do A to E now and get caught up.
Alturnativly I might just count today as the first and if anyone asks I'll claim that my calander is right and every other calander on earth is wrong.
I don't want to make these my usual posts which of course break down various boundries and poke holes in the fabric of the universe so I hereby resolve the following.
- Each post will be 100% truth, It might be a funny story or it might be a tale of woe but it will have happened
- Notes will be included for those of a scholarly nature. If you can not see the notes then you may not be wise enough.
- The drumming sound you can hear is me trying to think of a topic.

Last week I got my hands on an itsy bitsy teenie weenie bottle of Clinique Happy perfume spray (courtesy of Madame Figaro) and after trying it, I fell in love with it.
It has floral base notes but the first thing that hits you is a citrusy scent, which after a little search I found out to be bergamot, ruby red grapefruit and mandarin tree blossom - can it get any more spring-like?
I will surely finish this tiny bottle (nothing difficult in that) and who knows?! I might have found a new favourite perfume for spring!!
If you like that kind of scents on you, then you should definitely try it. After all what's wrong with a little more "happy" in your life?!

Markets evolution
Publication of business results, economic data and interventions of central banks conditioned the week again.
New global activity indices were released, and we observed that the Eurozone remained having a moderate growth in October. In the statements, Draghi reaffirmed his willingness to carry out the necessary steps in order to combat the low inflation levels and the slower growth with the aim of removing such risks.
In the US, the indicators of manufacturing and services activity continued improving, it was revealed important data concerning the labor market. These data showed the creation of 271.000 jobs (above the 185.000 expected) and a reduction in the unemployment up to a +5%. And, although labor costs have been lower than expected, the improvement over the previous data has been substantial. This could lead to Janet Yellen and various members of the Fed to raise rates in December.
On the other hand, the Bank of England, ruled out the option of keeping up interest rates unchanged at +0,5%. Growth forecasts had been reduced up to a +2,7% and they said that they did not expect to achieve the inflation target within two years.
With regard to Asia, following the disclosure that would take place with the connection of financial markets in China and financial market reform, financial markets benefited about that with great rises in the equity of country. As a counterpart, recent activity data remained below the level of expansion, leading many economists to announce the danger of a sharp slowdown of the giant.
Widespread advances in the weekly market closures despite the negative effect left by the deep cuts suffered by the stock of Volkswagen after the new cases of irregularities detected in the emissions of gas in the cars of the company. Such rallies, reached a +1,45% in the European benchmark Eurostoxx50 and a +1,26% in the German DAX, which closed at levels of 10,988.
On the other hand, American parquet markets retreated positions in the midweek after the statements made by the president of the FED. Despite this, the major indices closed in positive territory with slight gains over the +1%.
In Asia, progresses were made in the Nikkei225, which is around the 19,265 after scoring an increase of +0,95%.
New kicks in the EUR after the messages launched by the President of the ECB and the growing expectations of rate hikes in nearby US According to Goldman Sachs analysts, the EUR/USD could reach levels of 1,05 before the year ends. Throughout the week, the pair has fluctuated between levels of 1,10 and 1,07 EUR/USD.
As for commodities, loses ground oil prices hovering around 47 USD/Brent despite falls in production. In the same way, the value of the gold suffered a setback close to +5%, trading around the 1.088 USD/Oz.

You can find this setting on the Trusted Location administration page under the "Calculation Behavior" section.
This setting governs one thing - the amount of time Excel Services will wait before recalculating sheets that contain volatile information when a new session is opened. This last bolded part is where people sometimes misunderstand what the setting is about exactly.
Excel Services recieves an OpenWorkbook() request in the following cases:
1. When a user causes the EWA (Excel Web Access) Web part to open a new session (this happens the first time a user accesses a workbook on a certain EWA, when the session times out and the user requests it be reopened or when the user selects the "Reload workbook" option in the EWA drop-downs).
2. When a user of the Excel Web Services calls the OpenWorkbook() API method.
When this type of request is received by Excel Services, it first checks to see if the workbook is already loaded (and since it shares out loaded workbooks, it usually just serves those copies up immediatly). If, however, the workbook contains a volatile function in it (for example, =RAND() or =NOW()), Excel Services also checks to see when the last time the shared copy was recalculated. If that last time was more than what the VFCL is set up as, Excel Services will cause an implicit recalculation of the workbook and serve up the new calculated version as the result.
What this means for you:
1. If your workbook has volatile function calls in it and you want them to update, it's not enough to call one of the GetXXX() functions - you need to actually cause a recalculation first. This can be done by simply calling the .CalculateWorkbook() method. Once that request comes back, the workbook has been recalculated and the cells that contain volatile functions should display the most up-to-date values.
2. If you have a trusted location that contains a workbook with calls to volatile functions and you want that workbook to update frequently when people open it up for viewing, you can reduce the VFCL setting to whatever number suites your scenario.

Longevity, quality is key
Rohan Clark says he doesn't do anything special when raising his Angus herd. But this no-nonsense approach seems to be paying off.
There's no point pampering cattle.
This is the philosophy of Rohan Clark, who uses his extensive background in feedlots to help produce the best possible offspring.
Mr Clark and his wife Geraldine, "Appledore", Barraba, NSW, don't like to chase trends, and instead are focused on growing quality, hardy Angus cattle that can handle conditions.
The Clarks run 200 Angus breeders on the 1214 hectares they own and lease. Their home property has been in Mrs Clark's family for five generations. The Clark family also breeds commercial Angus bulls.
But right from the beginning, Mr Clark has a practical, 'no-nonsense' approach to raising cattle.
His breeders are joined at the beginning of October for 10 weeks. Mr Clark said he usually puts one bull to between 50 and 60 cows.
He said he didn't believe in pampering his cattle during calving.
"I'm a big believer in natural selection," he said.
He plants some improved pastures, last year planting summer sorghum as a forage crop. He also harvests oats for feed or seed, and makes hay when the season allows, but doesn't believe in feeding to excess.
"I believe if you start feeding, you probably need to destock," he said.
Mr Clarks says a simple method of running cattle works for him.
"We're bare bones. We don't do anything special," he said. "I put out lick blocks, but the cattle have to survive."
Mr Clark is particular about the cattle he keeps. At calf marking, when the calves are about four to five months old, he castrates any bull calves that aren't up to scratch. At weaning, they are scrutinised again.
The same goes for his heifers, which have to get the final tick of approval before being joined at about 12 months of age.
Any heifers that don't make the top tier for breeding are sold at the Landmark Classic Sale at Tamworth.
"I am really tough on females as far as natural selection," he said. "A lot of people forget cows are the driver of your herd. If your cows aren't quality, they won't breed quality."
And of course, he is looking for a fertile cow.
"Temperament is a major thing – temperament and fertility go together," he said.
He also doesn't cull for age with his breeders.
"If the cow is getting in calf, and if she's sound, there is no need to cull her," he said. "I want to breed longevity in my herd."
Mr Clark isn't keen on breeding large cows, and feels some Angus breeders are chasing excessive carcase size.
"The trouble is, you need more feed just to maintain them," he said. "I don't want a massive cow. If they are smaller, it is easier to get them back in condition."
Mr Clark is also very careful when selecting his commercial bulls to be sold, selling 18 last year.
Temperament and conformation are a must for his sale bulls.
"If I would keep them and use them as a bull, I'll keep them," he said. "I can't afford to have anything with a bad temperament."
He also doesn't believe in buying a heifer bull.
"If they are smooth in the shoulder and good in the hips, they should be fine," he said. "Everyone blames the bull for calving problems, but the cow is 70 per cent of the problem.
"I look at things completely the opposite to most people."
Mr Clark also isn't keen on feeding up bulls for sale.
"If they can't survive on a commercial property, they are no good to me," he said.
"You can't take a bull out of a grain-fed situation and then put him in a paddock and expect him to perform the same.
"I'm only selling bulls to blokes every five to six years, because they aren't having the breakdowns.
"You need to be able to buy a bull today and know that he will last. Longevity is really important in bulls and in cows."
The Clark family have recently bought their bulls from Glengowan Angus, Newbridge, NSW.
Mr Clark said he had a traditional line of cows, much like those at Glengowan.
He said Glengowan also uses New Zealand sires, which he is interested in, making trips over the ditch to visit studs and using their genetics in his Artificial Insemination program.
"We just don't want to go down the same track as everyone else," he said.
"I like the fact that Glengowan isn't chasing trends. They are doing their own thing.
"They aren't driven by Estimated Breeding Values."
Mr Clark has a philosophy for buying bulls, the same philosophy he uses when buying rams for his Appledore fine wool Merino stud, which joins between 1500 and 1800 ewes.
"With rams and bulls, we don't look at how much it will cost to buy them, we look at how much it will cost us if we don't," he said.
"There is no point buying the same as what you have got – you've got to buy better than what you have got."
Mr Clark has a good reason for being particular in the kind of cattle he produces.
As well as managing properties, he used to work in feedlots, so as he says, he had "the luxury of seeing both sides of the fence".
And this is where his philosophy on breeding quality animals from the beginning comes from - an animal's temperament and conformation are crucial.
"Good cattle are good cattle, regardless of breed," he said.
"The biggest driver for feedlots is the conversion of feed into beef. If you can put in less kilos of feed, and get more kilos of beef, that's more money for the feedlot."

Stop feeling like you don't have enough clothing in your closet (because we all know you have a good amount), and mix it up.
Increase the number of potential outfits in your closet by doing something as simple as mixing prints! It may seem intimidating, but when it's done right, it's beautiful.
If you're feeling a little shy about tackling this daring trend, start small. Tote around a printed handbag with your favorite printed shorts. Or mix your patterned shoes/sandals/heels with a patterned top.
The secret to mixing prints and looking great? Choose pieces (keep it at a maximum of 2) that have a common color or color scheme.
Add a neutral piece to your look to bring it all together for a cohesive, chic look. A neutral-colored jacket, scarf, simple jewelry, or a chambray top can simply pull your look together so that it doesn't look clash-y. (See my outfit below).
Another tip is to mix bold, structured prints with light, small prints. Bold stripes and floral? Perfect. Big polka dots and a light graphic print? Yes. The combinations are endless, so look into your closet and starting mixing and matching!
Other great pairings?
- Animal on animal. Be careful with this pair so you don't risk looking like a walking zoo. Mix and match a bold, realistic animal print with a smaller, more artistic looking animal print.
- Stripes and polka dots is a married pair that always looks when mixed.
- Polka dots with anything, really.
- Tweed (textures count!) and stripes. Mixing textures (knits, tweed, etc.) with a pattern can help balance the look.

Wanda arrived at Florida Hospital Altamonte with pneumonia that developed into acute respiratory distress syndrome – a sudden, life-threatening lung failure that starves the body of oxygen. She was intentionally put into a temporary coma and a ventilator assisted her breathing, but unexplainable complications occurred. After more than a month of treatment, the end seemed near.
"The doctors called my family in and told them that they expected my organs were just shutting down and that I could go into cardiac arrest within a couple of hours," says Wanda. The family needed to determine how aggressive physicians should be, knowing that even if she lived, she likely would be severely handicapped.
"No matter how much you have done for a patient, and no matter how good your technology and your team are, it comes to a point that it's certainly God's will whether you're going to survive or not," says Wanda's pulmonologist, Francis Calimano, MD.
"Our son stood up and said, 'there's no need to discuss it. Keep reviving her.' God gave my son and daughter and my husband and extreme measure of faith that day," says Wanda, who recovered fully. "The presence of family and friends and the Christian community coming together in a situation like this is a beautiful picture. Nurses came in and took the hands of my husband and my son and prayed for me. I can't tell you what a comfort that is."
