Geologist Selected for International Award
|Posted by Dan Hausel on July 3, 2015 at 10:25 PM
A traffic jam in the Wyoming desert. Dan Hausel leads field trip to the South Pass greenstone belt and gold deposits in the Wind River Mountains. Photo by Wyoming Representative - David Miller. Over 30 years, a few thousand people attended Professor Hausel's field trips, talks and lectures.
W. Dan Hausel, often took his own time on weekends to educate the public on geology, prospecting, rock hounding, hunting gold, diamonds and other gemstones while working for the Wyoming Geological Survey at the University of Wyoming. Over 3 decades, he presented more than 400 talks, clinics, short courses and very popular field trips and attracted hundreds of prospectors, rock hounds and even mining companies to the Wyoming Craton. Although the last geological survey director he worked for didn't think he knew how to communicate, Hausel was presented regional and national awards for communication, was inducted into two Halls-of-Fame for communication and geology, and published more than 1000 abstracts, books, maps, professional papers and magazine articles communicating to a number of people who visited Wyoming to find their personal treasure. While doing this work, he also mapped more than 650 square miles of complex geological terrain.
He started modern day gold rushes after finding significant amounts of gold in the Seminoe Mountains, the Rattlesnake Hills, South Pass and the Black Hills. Then he put Wyoming on the map after finding dozens of different types ot gemstones that were unknown to the region. When he left the Geological Survey in 2007, he was on the trail to discovering more gemstone and gold deposits.
Even so, he had already found a variety of gemstones in a region that was unknown for these precious stones, found some of the largest gemstones in the world, and identified a couple of world class gemstone deposits. In addition, his work led to the discovery of significant gold mineralization at the Carissa gold mine at South Pass, the Rattlesnake Hills greenstone belt, the Copper King and other localities. He also identified hundreds of cryptovolcanic structures that remain unexplored for diamonds and genesis. Then, a group of seven geologists (including Hausel) made a discovery of one of the largest gold deposits in North America - Donlin Creek, Alaska. This gold deposit is so big, that it contains more than twice the amount of gold mined in history of the Klondike and more than 120 times the amount of gold mined throughout the entire history of Wyoming. After making the discovery in 1987 and 1988, the group of geologists (which included 3 from Wyoming) were presented one of the most prestigeous awards in Economic Geology - the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prospectors_%26_Developers_Association_of_Canada" target="_blank">PDAC Thayer Lindsley Award for a major international mineral discovery.
Nicholas S. Law, Director General for the Awards Board for the International Biographical Center in Cambridge England wrote to Dan Hausel of Gilbert Arizona on June 26th, 2015:
"To achieve what you have, to scale the heights from which you inspire and lead by the standards you have attained are no ordinary accomplishments … As an existing Man of the Year the Awards Board of the IBC have decided to bestow on you, as respected and trusted friend of the IBC, the auspicious and beautiful Da Vinci Diamond."
"Leonardo Da Vinci was chosen as the inspiration for the award due to his world renowned accomplishments in many different disciplines. I feel most reassured that by selecting you as the Da Vinci Laureate in recognition of your varied talents we are keeping to the register of his memory…"
"….Your avocation, enthusiasm and reputation are responsible for this magnificent recognition."
This award is ironic in that you have are known as the GemHunter and Diamond Hunter and are responsible for finding several diamond deposits, geological mapping a group of diamond districts, and publishing many articles and books on diamond depoists. It is also notable that you have accumulated a bibliography of almost unachievable size - author of more than 1,000 publications; author, co-author and contributor to 100 books.
As a geoscientist, you inspired many people with your discoveries, i.e, one of the largest gold deposits in the world, some of the largest colored gemstone deposits ever to be found, mapped and found diamond deposits and as a public speaker, you presented lectures all over North America. You mapped more than 1,000 square kilometers of geological terrain and an artist of vision with dozens of detailed works. And your martial arts achievements are as impressive as your geological, writing, art and public speaking achievements. As a martial artist, you reached the highest rank in the world in Shorin-Ryu Karate (Seiyo-Kai), were certified as Sokeshodai (grandmaster), and was awarded Martial Arts Genius for your many accomplishments over five decades. Other national and international associations inducted you into 16 halls of fame for unmatched martial arts and teaching skills, geological knowledge, and more. Congratulatioins!
In response, Professor Hausel acknowledged his support over the years by Dr. Daniel Miller, Gary Glass, Dr. Don Blackstone (former State Geologists) and Dr. Robert Houston (former Geology Department Head). He also praised God and Christ for providing him with opportunities to express his thoughts and research. Much of his research was recently summarized in two books - one on Gold and the other on Gemstones.

The term fiduciary is broadly defined as "Law.- a person to whom property or power is entrusted for the benefit of another." The term fiduciary duty is used regularly throughout directors' and officers' liability and professional liability law and insurance, one specific area of professional liability is fiduciary liability. Taken into the insurance context, the term describes an insurance policy focused on pension plans and benefit plans and their trustees, employees, administrators, investment or other committees, and employer representatives. Some insurance companies even have policies dedicated to 'multi-employer' sponsored pension plans. Where the relationships within a pension plan or benefit plan quickly assert a fiduciary duty upon the persons above (to the beneficiaries of the plans,) other areas of law create a more grey application of this duty.
Though the GALAMBOS V. PEREZ (2009) case includes an employer – employee relationship, and even a lawyer – client relationship, and a Supreme Court of Canada ruling creates precedent limiting the scope of fiduciary duty, it is based on an unusual set of circumstances and I would suggest that it should not provide a lot of comfort to employers and other potential fiduciaries. The Judgment can be found here
An employee of a law firm sued her boss following the firm's bankruptcy, because she had lent money to her employer and became an unsecured creditor. She alleged negligence and breach of contract, but went further by attempted to assert the position of solicitor-client relationship alleging failure to provide appropriate advice regarding her loans to the firm, based on the fact that, during her employment, the firm did her legal work on will and mortgage transactions. She was unsuccessful at trial, but this decision was set aside in appeal, based on their "power-dependency relationship" and an ad hoc fiduciary duty. Finally, the Supreme Court found that the Court of Appeal "exceeded the limits of appellate review, violating the principle of non-intervention of a trial decision on appeal, and unduly extended the scope of fiduciary obligations." Interesting findings by Cromwell J were that the breach of the rules of professional conduct does not always mean breach of the law of negligence or of fiduciary liability, nor does a power-dependency relationship automatically create a fiduciary relationship. Cromwell J cited Jackson & Powell on Professional Liability and explained that "any breach of any duty by a fiduciary is not necessarily a breach of fiduciary duty." Though this case is unique, I have no doubt this case will be cited regularly in professional liability defence positions. Nicholl Paskell-Mede offers a great overview of the case here in "LIMITING THE SCOPE OF FIDUCIARY DUTY" and valuable comments on the appellant and Supreme Court decisions can be found on Osgood Hall Law School's thecourt.ca here
If you would like to discuss the possible response of available insurance coverage, including lawyers professional liability policy or directors' and officers' liability policy, or fiduciary liability insurance other insurance implications, please call.

10 women have been spotted staring directly at the sun for half an hour right before sunset on a beach in Sam Ka Village, Lei Yue Mun in Hong Kong this is because drinking vegetable juices or using high-pressure oxygen chamber for them are obsolete methods in losing weight.
Can somebody explain why?
The "sun therapy" is believed to be of European origin, which suggests that looking at the sun will provide you with enough solar energy to substitute for calories from real food. So dieters are hoping that if they stare at the sun long enough, they could skip eating entirely. Certain religious groups believe it can also improve eyesight and sleep quality as well.
A frequent beachgoer, named Wing, said he often sees a group of 10 women, aged around 20 to 30 and all dressed in office attire, come to the beach. They arrive at two different times of day – either in the morning or in the early evening – and stare directly at the sun.
Wing said that he sun-gazers always take their shoes off and put on sunglasses. They then set a timer on their phone and stand in a line. Some, perhaps absorbing too much solar energy, will fan themselves or use tissue paper to cover up their faces.
Apparently these sun-believers do not wear sunglasses after all, opting for pinhole glasses instead, which they believe do not let in enough UV rays to cause permanent damage to their eyesight.
However, one sun-gazer said that she did it for health reasons, but not for weight loss.
We practice sun-gazing as a substitute for eating. Some of us who have finished the therapy now eat less, and others don't have to eat at all!"
She explained that they start looking at the sun for up to 10 seconds on the first day, adding 10 seconds every day until they reach 44 minutes by the ninth month.
The practice of sun gazing, however, seems to contradict every bit of scientific advice about not spending too much time in the sun, let alone staring at it directly. But the gazers say they're able to protect themselves by using pinhole glasses, which they believe will minimize their exposure to UV rays.
Doctors, of course, aren't convinced, especially because of the sub-tropical location of Hong Kong and the sea bouncing back sun rays. Indeed, if history is any indication, these gazers are actually putting themselves at quite a risk by substituting meals for sunlight. A few years ago, we saw how a Swiss woman named Anna Gut had starved to death while trying to live on light alone.

I spent 15 years on Wall Street, mostly in quantitative roles. I love numbers, time series analysis and generating alpha. Opportunities to moderninze finance and markets excite me. I do Principal investments via Maiden Voyage Venture Group.
Improving human health, especially via diagnostic imaging, is my academic interest and current full-time endeavor. We're doing pretty cool stuff at DocHuddle, Inc. applying deep learning to medical image classification for consistent, instant, and inexpensive pre-diagnoses.
My secret weapon -- I'm good at it, seriously good. It helps me accomplish extraordinarily difficult goals anywhere I place focus. I'm currently applying this to medicine, but other applications also excite me, specifically CV+ML for autonomous vehicles and CV+ML for data-driven investments.

This post is for all of you who sent me so many messages after watching my Instagram story where I gave you a tour of the Givenchy counter. Yes my pretties, that counter is very much in Kolkata and Givenchy is here with their range of makeup, skincare and fragrance. Just head to Shoppers Stop, South City Mall and you can shop to your heart's content. A few days back, Anubha Agarwal, Givenchy Makeup Expert and Trainer was in the city for a couple of days and I met her to know more about the brand and I also got a fun makeover from her. Read on to know more 🙂
I've used fragrances from Givenchy but apart from a lipstick, I've not used anything else from their makeup collection. Somehow, I was under the impression that the base makeup shades would not match my dusky complexion and I was so pleased when I saw the entire range. From primers to concealers to foundations to powders, they have a huge collection and shades to match pretty much all complexions.
I was also very impressed by their eye makeup range. Givenchy mascaras are a cult favorite and after trying them out, I know why! Anubha used the PHENOMEN'EYES mascara on me and I loved how it curled and lengthened my lashes. One product that I am definitely getting for myself is the Eyebrow Couture Definer, a brow pencil with a creamy texture that stays put for hours. That pencil really defined my brows and made them look so perfect. Obviously, Anubha's hand played a major role in it too :). If you are an eye shadow person, you will love what they have. My favorites will have to be the Ombre Couture cream shadows and the Le Prisme Quatuor eye shadow quads. For the makeover, Anubha used Ombre Couture Rose Dentelle all over lids followed by Ombre Couture Prune Taffetas. These eye shadows are perfect to wear as a base, a light wash of color or you can even mix and match based on the look that you are going for. They are light, have a creamy texture, apply really smoothly and the best part is that they do not budge or fade even after 6-7 hours. The eye shadow quads are available in plenty of colors and the pigmentation and texture is beautiful. These quads have a mix of matte and shimmer shadows and can be used to create so many looks.
If you are a lipstick person like me, what can I say except go check out their range of lipsticks, lip gloss and lip liners. You will be spoilt for choice that is for sure!
I asked Anubha for some daily wear makeup tips and recommendations for Givenchy products to help us look our best and here's what she had to say.
- Makeup will not look good unless you have hydrated skin and for that she recommended the Global Youth Silky Sheer Cream which hydrates without making the skin greasy or oily
- Next step is to use a Color Correcting primer which can be used on its own or combined with foundation. Acti'Mine primer is available in six shades to perfect and correct the complexion
- If you are looking for a dewy finish, the Photo Perfexion foundation is a very good option. If you want something light for daily wear, go for the Teint Couture Balm, a hybrid of a foundation and BB cream. It provides more coverage than a BB cream and less coverage than a foundation thus making it perfect for days when you want to look polished and not too made up
- To set the makeup, Givenchy has a range of weightless loose and compact powders which give a radiant finish. You can opt for Le Prisme Visage or Prisme Libre
- For eye makeup on a daily basis, Anubha recommends a skin tone eye shadow either in cream or powder form which you can use as a base or on its own. Ombre Couture Rose Dentelle is a favorite because it removes any pigmentation on the eyelids and makes the eyes look awake and more alert. If you want to add a bit of gloss, finish off with a top coat and add mascara
- Do not forget the brows!
- For a quick smokey eye or winged liner, use a waterproof, smudge-proof liner like the new Khol Couture which are available in six vibrant shades
And finally, here's my makeover look! Anubha gave me a simple, day time glamorous look with winged liner, radiant, dewy skin and red lips. Because I have dry skin, she first applied the Global Youth Silky Sheer Cream after cleansing my face. For primer, she used Acti'Mine in 06, Acti Peach to even out the complexion. For foundation, Teint Couture Balm 06 was applied and finished off with Le Prisme Visage powder in the shade Organza Miel. On the eyes Ombre Couture eye shadows Rose Dentelle and Prune Taffetas were applied followed by the Khol Couture liner in black and the PHENOMEN'EYES mascara. Lipstick was Le Rouge Givenchy in the shade Carmin Escarpin.
Thank you Givenchy, Anubha and the team at South City for the fun session and the makeover. I really had a wonderful time that day. If you want to try out the products, you can test them at the counter and also get complimentary makeovers done so definitely visit the Givenchy counter at Shoppers Stop, South City Mall.

The Twitter-Sphere is all a buzz about Daniel Bryan's retirement from the ring. Social Media is about to explode with the debate of "Is it a Work or a Shoot?" Tonight, we should find out. Plus, we are well on our way to Fastlane.
Hope everyone (who is interested) enjoyed the Super Bowl. I got my two wishes: `1. It was a good game and 2. No one got seriously injured. By the way, congrats to Denver for their win. Being that Dianna was born and raised in Colorado, the blue and orange was in full force at the Shannon house. Smile.
The show began with a touching video tribute to the great Daniel Bryan aka Bryan Danielson. I know WWE will never give his given name but I honor the man for his entire career, not just his WWE time. Smile.
Roll the opening montage.
Welcome to Seattle, Washington. I have a few good friends that call that area home.
Lilian Garcia introduced Stephanie McMahon. There was a table set up, in the ring. Contract Signing Time? Yep, it's for the main event of Fastlane. We know these things just never go right. The fans shouted her down with chants for "Daniel Bryan". Stephanie hushed up to show the proper respect. She then insulted the fans. Steph pushed her hubby, HHH. Stephanie pushed the Lunatic Fringe vs the Roman Empire vs the Beast Incarnate (Dean vs Roman vs Brock). She was cut off by the arrival of Dean Ambrose. He stormed down the ramp, clutching the ivory Intercontinental title belt. Stephanie let Dean know he was early. He wanted to get this over and start kicking Brock's butt. Stephanie swore there would be no physicality.
Roman Reigns then made his entrance-Roman wanted to get on with the signing. Roman said let's sign and then punch it out. Stephanie tried to drive a wedge between Roman and Dean but it didn't' work. She then called out Brock Lesnar.
Brock came out with Paul Heyman. One of these days, I want the honor of meeting Paul and shaking his hand and thanking him for being Paul. Maybe in Dallas. More on that in a bit.
The fans broke out the "Suplex City" chant. Paul started to do his typical intro but Stephanie cut him off. She wanted to get this over with. Dean signed. Roman signed. Brock signed. Stephanie quickly left the ring. Paul told Dean to ask Big Brother Samoan Bad *ss what the difference a beat down was between The Authority and Brock Lesnar. Brock chuckled at Roman and Dean. Dean came around the table and got up in Brock's face. Brock threw Dean across the table. He smashed Roman with the table and then laid out Dean with the F5.
Suddenly, Triple H walked out onto the stage. It was a definite Mexican Standoff. The announcers took over and discussed what just happened. Found out that I will have to catch the replay of Fastlane (working during the live event). Michael Cole discussed Bryan's retirement announcement. The announcers paid their respects to Bryan.
Daniel Bryan Highlight #1
Daniel vs Chris Jericho from 2010. Daniel was on NXT, at the time. Daniel tapped out to Jericho, on that occasion.
Dean was fuming, backstage. Dean swore to God that he would get Brock, tonight. Roman nodded in agreement.
Kevin Owens vs Dolph Ziggler
Kevin dropped Dolph with a Clothesline. He threw Dolph into the corner and hit the Cannonball. 2 count. Kevin worked over Dolph with a clubbing Forearm. Kevin taunted Dolph and yelled at Michael Cole. Kevin kicked the ribs of his foe and stood on his chest. Dolph with a surprise Roll Up for two. Kevin bashed Dolph. Straight fist to Dolph's face. Hard Whip by Kevin, which caused Dolph to collapse. 2 count.
Scoop Slam was converted into a Dolph Sleeper. Kevin backed Dolph into the corner, multiple times, but Dolph would not let go. Kevin took both of them through the ropes and Raw went to break.
Kevin was in complete control with a Side Headlock. Dolph rolled around to get to his feet. Jawbreaker by the Show off. Kevin nailed a Clothesline. Backsplash Senton by the big Canadian. 2 count. Dolph popped Kevin in the face and Owens hit back. Kevin charged and hit the corner post. Dolph hit a pair of Flying Clotheslines and a Swinging Neckbreaker. Heart Stopper Elbow by Dolph but he only got a two. Superkick by Owens but he couldn't get the 2. Dolph went for his own Superkick byt Owens rolled up Dolph for a two. Flying DDT by Dolph and Kevin rolled under the ropes. Dolph slinked around the ring to hit a Famouser, off the apron. Dolph clutched his shoulder in agony. The ref kept counting both men. Both men slid back in, just before the 10 count.
Dolph missed a Corner Splash. Dolph avoided the Cannonball and then used the ropes to help pin Kevin. What the heck?
Your Winner: Dolph Ziggler
Raw Ranking: 2.5 out of a possible 5
Kevin had an absolute fit after the match. He destroyed everything in sight.
Seeing Kevin Owens takes me back, a couple of years, to New Orleans. Got to talk with him, for a moment, at Wrestlecon. I'll be in Dallas on April 1st and 2nd for this year's great Wrestlecon event. It is going to be at the Hyatt Regency—Dallas (formerly known as Reunion Tower). I'll be sitting with Greg Valentine, Tito Santana and Evan Ginzburg (Associate Producer of "The Wrestler"). Plus, our own Bill Apter will be there, as well. You can go to www.wrestlecon.com to get a full list of all the great guests. You can also check out www.RivalryChampionshipWrestling.com to learn more about the appearances by Greg, Tito and Evan.
Daniel Bryan Highlights #2
Daniel Bryan vs The Miz for the US Title. Miz tapped out and Daniel became US Champ.
The Dudley Boyz came in to chat with the Usos. D'Von explained that THEY should be facing New Day in a Tables Match, not the Usos. Bubba Ray suggested that Usos and Dudleys should team up to face the New Day. The Usos were cool with that.
Cole sent it to a video package about Ryback. He will battle Bray Wyatt, later tonight. Glad to see Bray back. His grandpa, Blackjack Mulligan, must be doing better…I hope and pray.
Charlotte (w/Ric Flair) vs Alicia Fox
Non-Title Match
The two women circled each other. Collar and Elbow into a Charlotte Side Headlock. Universal into Charlotte hitting a Superkick. Ric Woo'd from the floor. Go Behind by Fox. Fox blocked the Figure Eight. Brie Bella will challenge Charlotte, at Fastlane. Charlotte kicked out of a Northern Lights Bridge Suplex. Charlotte dropped Foxy on the back of her neck. Fox hit a nice Sunset Flip out of the corner. Two count.
Charlotte rammed Fox's face into the canvas. Cravat by Charlotte. Fox worked Charlotte's ribs but Mz. Flair threw Fox down, hard. Head Scissors Push Downs by Charlotte.

MizTV vs Highlight Reel
Miz was grumbling about A.J. Styles when Y2J joined the party. Jericho quickly took over the segment. Jericho mocked Miz for losing to A.J. Styles. Chris had them roll the clip where Styles just kicked the daylights out of Miz. Miz actually lost a tooth, during the battle. "You Look Stupid" rose from the crowd. Miz grumbled about having to spend $20,000 to have his dental work done. Chris laughed at Miz's misery. Jericho started singing "All I want for Christmas is my front two teeth". The crowd knew the song and sang along. The fans thought all this was funny. Miz promised he could be louder than the entire crowd. Miz reminded Jericho that Chris was the first to lose to Styles. Miz had the Monkeys roll the tape. Miz mocked Jericho for losing to a "small fish". Jericho admitted that the loss was eating him alive. The fans began to chant for "A.J. Styles". Jericho questioned if Styles was great or only good. Jericho wanted a rematch with Styles. Chris explained that he would get Styles on Smackdown.
That brought out Styles. Miz jumped Jericho, as Styles came from the back. Styles came in and laid out Miz. Jericho and Styles worked together to take out Miz. Jericho then shoved Styles. Face to Face Stare Down. The two then started slugging it out. Miz pulled Jericho out of the ring. Chris pitched Miz over the announce table. Chris backed down from A.J..
Bray Wyatt vs Ryback
Raw showed how the Wyatt Family recently annihilated Kane. The entire Wyatt Family stood in the ring as Ryback entered the arena. Ryback laid out Bray with a Shoulder Tackle and Slam. Braun, Luke and Erick stood and watched. Ryback went up top but stopped. Ryback was dropped, on the floor. Raw went to break.
Ryback blasted Bray but fell to a huge Clothesline. Bray charged but hit the post. Running High Knees by Ryback. Corner Shoulders by The Big Guy. Bray reversed Whip but Ryback with a Float Over and Flying Crossbody. Spinebuster by Ryback, but it only brought a two. Ryback called for the Meat Hook Clothesline. Instead, Bray came out of nowhere with Sister Abigail.
Your Winner: Bray Wyatt
Raw Ranking: 3.0 (extra points for that great reversal, at the end)

Braun tossed Ryback out to the floor and then whipped him into the apron and ring steps. The Wyatt Family carried Ryback over and put him in Bray's hands. Wyatt hit another Sister Abigail. Bray screamed at the crowd and at Ryback. Bray said everyone should pray for mercy…that would never come.
Daniel Bryan Highlights #3
The relationship between Kane and Daniel was profiled.
New Day sang, very badly, about "working on the tables". They were interrupted by Renee Young. She asked them if they had a partner for the 8-man match. They didn't, yet. Maybe Francesca (the trombone) would be the 4th member of the team? I've seen sillier stuff over the last 5 decades.
Elsewhere, Roman and Dean talked. Both of them wanted to beat the stuffing out of Brock Lesnar. Dean wanted to do this, alone. Roman reluctantly agreed.
Titus O'Neil vs Adam Rose
The entire Social Outcast faction came from the back. Social Outcast rambled on with ridiculous rants. Rose is now the "Radical Mongoose". Sigh.
Rose popped Titus and slapped him. Bad move, Skippy. Titus threw Rose across the ring. Titus slapped the chest. Rose dodged a charge and hit a Dropkick. Only a 1 count. Rose bashed the neck and Chop Blocked the leg. Crescent Kick to Titus' face, but O'Neil still got free of the pin. Sleeper by Rose. Titus Elbowed free. Rose kicked Titus in the back and then posed. Titus blocked a Whip, twice. Titus then launched Rose with an Arm Drag. Shoulder Tackles by Titus. Rose kicked Titus in the face. Sidebreakers by Titus. The Social Outcasts pulled Rose to the outside. Titus just took them all out. Rose rolled up the distracted Titus to get the win. After the cheap win, Titus sent Rose sailing over the top with a La Bandera Clothesline.
Your Winner: Adam "Radical Mongoose" Rose
Raw Ranking: 1.75
Daniel Bryan Highlights #4:
Bryan vs John Cena for the World Title. Daniel hit he Knee Trembler to become the World Champion.
As we prepare for the Tables Match, I want to say my good-byes to Axl Rotten. We lost this great wrestler and coach, last week. He helped train one of my best friends and gave him a start. Thank you, Axl. God Bless and Rest in Peace.
It was time for another Black History Month tribute segment. JBL briefly discussed his long-time friend, Ron Simmons.
Dean Ambrose walked, with purpose, to the ring. Dean seriously called out Brock Lesnar. Dean made fun of Brock's F5 finisher. Dean kept poking Brock with a verbal Big Stick. Dean told Brock to bring it and put some stink on it. Dean accused Brock of going soft when Lesnar didn't immediately come out. Dean turned his back in a show of utter disrespect. Dean said Paul E didn't give Brock permission to come out. He accused Paul of holding Dean's b*lls. That was all it took.
Brock slowly walked from the back. He seemed amused by all this. Dean rushed out and tore into Brock. Lesnar drove Dean into the apron, over and over. Knee Strikes by Brock. Dean was thrown into the barricade. Dean tossed Dean up into the ring. Clothesline by Brock. Dean still got up and stood up to Brock. He didn't stand long, as Brock Clotheslined him, again. Dean crawled towards Brock. F5! Dean stayed down, this time. Dean began to stir and he urged Brock to come back and keep fighting.
Roman Reigns couldn't' stand to watch anymore. He walked onto the stage. Dean nailed a nasty Low Blow to The Beast. Dean bailed out and walked towards his "Brother". Roman checked on Dean, who was holding his ribs.
The Lucha Dragons vs Rusev and Alberto Del Rio
Alberto will face Kalisto, at Fastlane, for the United States title.
Nice to see Sin Cara back. He hurt his shoulder, a few weeks back. Rusev opened against Sin Cara. Roll Up by Cara for a two. Sin kicked away and hit a Springboard Inverted DDT. Nice. Springboard Sunset Flip but Del Rio made the tag. Del Rio kicked Sin Cara in the face and then worked him over. Rusev tagged back in and came off the ropes to stomp away at Sin Cara's chest. 2 count.
Michael Cole brought up Rey Mystero, Jr. (who just made his debut, last week, on Lucha Underground). Rusev hit a wicked Crescent Kick that almost knocked out the masked man. Tag back to Del Rio. Ax Bomber by the Mexican star. 2 count.
Rear Chin Lock by Del Rio. Release German by Del Rio for another two. Del Rio chased Kalisto off the apron. Rusev took the tag and hit Running Elbow Drops. Sin Cara reversed a Suplex into a DDT. Kalisto was itching for the fight.
Tags on both sides. Kalisto rocked Del Rio with a hard kick and Dropping the Dime. Corkscrew Springboard Plancha and Hurancanrana DDT. Rusev made the save. Kalisto set for his finisher but Del Rio placed him on the ropes. Kalisto fought out of a bad situation. Step Up Enziguri by Del Rio. Sin Cara had taken out Rusev. Del Rio put Kalist o in the Sullivan Tree of Woe. Corner Double Stomp for the three.
Your Winners: Alberto Del Rio and Rusev
Raw Ranking: 2.25
R-Truth was at the Jimi Hendrix Museum. Goldust did a really silly Hendrix impression. Goldy was grabbed by security when he busted up a guitar. (shakes head in total confusion)
Sasha Banks came out to watch the next match.
Daniel Bryan Highlights #5
The Yes Movement's Occupation of Raw was shown. That was such a great segment, if not a little too long. Smile.
Finisher Flashback Moment: Sasha Banks attacked by Naomi and Tamina, last week. Becky Lynch came to Sasha's aid. Becky and Sasha had been battling, just before Naomi and Tamina's attack.
Becky Lynch vs Tamina
Becky and Sasha will team up to face Naomi and Tamina, at Fastlane.
Becky tookt he Side Headlock. Tamina hit a Shoulder Tackle. Bridge Out and Dropkick by Becky. Becky unloaded on Tamina with kicks and punches. Becky jumped on Tamina's back and cinched in a Sleeper. Tamina backed into the corner. Tamina missed a Corner Splash. Naomi tried to get involved. The distraction allowed Tamina to take down Becky. Tamina choked Becky on the ropes and Naomi nailed a Cheap Shot.
Tamina dropped Beck. 2 count. Cravat by Tamina. Jumping Headbutt by Tamina. Tamina yelled at Sasha. That brought The Boss to her feet. Naomi came around and drilled Sasha. Naomi threw Sasha into the steps. Heel Kick by Becky. Becky came out and tore Naomi a new one. Lassplex by Becky. Lynch slid back in the ring and took a Superkick to the face.
Your Winner: Tamina
Raw Ranking: 1.5
New Day talked with a potential partner. They highly praised the mystery person. It turned out to be…Mark Henry. They gave him a unicorn horn to wear and even let him play Francesca. He wasn't horrible, but not great. They taught Mark to dance like they do.
Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, Bubba Ray Dudley and D'Von Dudley vs Big E, Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods and Mark Henry
8-Man Tag Team Tables Match
New Day did a quick promo before introducing their partner…The World's Strongest Unicorn. Mark came out dancing. My Eyes! My Poor Eyes! Lilian almost lost it when she introduced the "Slammy" award winning tag team of The Usos. Last week, she gave Jimmy and Jey Grammys. Smile.
The fight got going, fast and furious. Mark was Quadruple teamed. Uso Crazy to take out the regular Trio of New Day. The fans began to scream for tables. Raw went to break.
The heels were in control, as the show returned. Mark laid out one of the Usos with a World's Strongest Slam. He then used a Headbutt to drop Bubba Ray. New Day ticked off mark Henry, who walked out of the match. Double Wazzup! Massive "Get the Tables" chant, led by Bubba Ray. D'Von fetched the table but took a kick to the face. Belly to Belly by Big E. Double Superkick to Big E. Double Superkicks to Woods. And Kofi. Table was set and the Usos got ready to take out Woods. Big E saved Woods. The Dudleys put Big E through the table with the 3D!
Your Winners: The Dudley Boyz and the Usos
Raw Ranking: 2.0
Jey Uso seemed to be injured, after the match. The Dudleys attacked the Usos. They 3D'd Jimmy through a table. D'Von got another table and they beat down Jey. The E=C-Dub chant got rolling. Bubba Powerbomb to put Jey through the table. Hell, Yeah! We get the REAL Dudleyz back!
A very touching Daniel Bryan tribute video played. If this is the final night of his in-ring career, all I can say is a heart-felt "Thank You". He is an inspiration to all of us who were told that we wouldn't be able to be as good as some of the others around us. Daniel has had an amazing career. He has a lovely wife and (possibly soon) a growing family. He touched a lot of hearts, over the years.
Daniel Bryan Farewell Speech
Get the Kleenex ready, this is going to be emotional. Lilian Garcia did the introductions. The crowd went absolutely nuts for their local hero. Bryan was so fighting back the tears as he soaked in the love of the Washington fans. Bryan said he could close his eyes and feel the love. He explained it was time to address the Giant Elephant in the Room. The fans didn't want him to go. Daniel joked about trimming his beard and cutting his hair. He pushed Wigs for Kids, which is why he cut his hair and beard. It is an organization that makes wigs for kids with cancer. The families never have to pay for the wigs.
Bryan moved on to something less fun to talk about. "No!" rang out from the Seattle crowd. Bryan admitted he didn't want to do this but he has been wrestling since the age of 18. Bryan mentioned having multiple concussions. After 16 years, the concussions had added up to a significant number. Bryan was advised not to risk any more concussions. Bryan explained that all the previous brain scans said he was fine. Bryan mentioned loving wrestling more than just about anything in the world. "Thank You Daniel" rose from the crowd.
Thank you, WWE, for letting this run long. Bryan's most recent tests have shown some abnormalities and he had to consider his wife and future family. The fans got a "That's what SHE said" chant going that had everyone laughing. Bryan then officially announced his retirement from professional wrestling. Bryan was so proud of getting to live his dream for close to 16 years. Bryan showed love for the Seahawks (football team). Bryan also loved the sound just before his music hits that brings the crowd to life. Bryan also loved to hit the ropes and diving into the middle of the ring. It made him feel like Superman. Another thing that he loved was working in parking lots and in massive stadiums. He also loves meeting so many good people. He mentioned Kane, William Regal (someone else that should be in the Hall of Fame). He brought up Conner. Bryan was so grateful for everything that wrestling has given him. Bryan explained that they do this for the love of the business. Bryan loved how the fans got behind him. Bryan talked about how the Seattle fans helped to hijack Raw. Smile. Bryan broke down as he talked about his dad being in the audience, that night. It was the final time that Bryan's dad got to see him wrestle and the fans made it extra special. Bryan brought up his wonderful wife, Brie. Wrestling brought them together. Bryan pointed out the members of his family, who were at ringside. "I Am Grateful" was his comment to one and all.
Bryan mentioned starting a new life where he was not a wrestler. Tonight, he got to be a wrestler…one more time. He got the loudest and strongest "Yes!" chant, ever, going. Brie came out to be with her loving hubby. They kissed and hugged in mid-ring. Michael Cole talked about us all being Grateful for Daniel Bryan. Bryan went out to hug his mom and other family members.
Fade out. (The party continued on the WWENetwork).
I wanted to finish tonight by sending out a very special birthday wish to someone beyond special to me. One of my dearest friends in this entire world, Sunny, turned the big 4-0, on Monday. She has been an important part of my life for about 15 years now. She has been a friend to not only me but both of my wives. She is my "Lil Sis" and so ever much more. Her birthday hug and dinner are on their way. She is just going to get them a couple months late. I (or maybe We) will be in Dallas around March 30th for Wrestlecon. See you soon. Big Smile and much love from both of us.

Your Feelings and Your Business
Are you motivated by an emotion? I am. And while this is not an intentional ego fest, my experience might give you a glint of insight.
If you've been reading my posts, you most likely know that I work as a small time real estate developer. Simply put, I buy a house, I fix it up, and I rent it out.
Other than being a fascinating glimpse into human nature (and how untrustworthy some people may be), it's taught me an unimaginable amount of things about myself.
A lot of people start into entrepreneurship of any type with the notions of "top quality" and "helping people" in mind. Perhaps that isn't how you started (or how you're thinking of starting), but that was certainly how I rolled back when I started with the real estate shtick.
Of course, like those who wanted to compete on Donald Trump's level found out the same thing I did – it is freaking expensive to go top-tier.
And for another thing, there is a threshold beyond which profit is simply unreachable. In the hood, that threshold is reached pretty early on. You do not need (nor should you even have) the most high end things in the hood.
I'm not going into theft and the reasons behind it (which go deeper than I realized for a long time) – how you feel about your business and yourself is of infinitely greater importance.
If you have never heard of the vibrational scale, check it out. Simply put, every emotion is a sort of "wave length" that echoes through everything you do. No matter how thoroughly you plot things out, no matter how much you "will" your success… if you feel powerless or unworthy, it will fail.
I don't know about you, but I have often struggled with the "bottom" feelings, such as jealousy, anger and revenge. There is no real vengeance in having a successful business – and unless you subscribe to the notion that the best revenge is to live well, your level of success will be severely hampered by focusing your energy on harming someone else.
If you really look at where you're sitting (or standing) at this moment emotionally, and then honestly evaluate where you are on the path toward your goals, you might find it very telling.
Wherever you are is fine – don't ever judge yourself on your feelings. If someone's done something harmful to you, you have every right to feel angry, and even vengeful.
But while your life might be different than mine, I often find that when I shake off that "muck," I end up being a whole lot more productive. I call it muck because it weighs you down, actually gives you a sickly feeling… and it doesn't make you especially attractive to other people, either.
You didn't ask for my advice, but I'm going to give it to you anyway. If you find yourself feeling bad, ask yourself why. Is it really the people and things that are around you? Or is it how you've been thinking about the people and things around you?
What you think (and by extension, how you carry yourself and go about your day) echoes outward to everyone around you. And when your thoughts are hurtful to you, you will attract more hurtful people and situations into your life.
And your business will almost always do better, if you make (and execute) your plans with a good feeling.
While this might sound all "touchy feely," it's true. The more powerful and happy I feel, the less power the hurtful people have over me, and the less often I see them. It's like a force field – and it doesn't even cost anything.

Happy Thursday! The weekend is almost here and it is time to bring in 2017! What are your plans and what are some things you're wanting to do different or better in the new year? Why not bring in the new year with a crisp, white smile? If you're one of those people who are into white teeth (I hope you are lol) then I have a solution for you! Whitening your teeth can be costly and time consuming and thats why I love this teeth whitening kit that I am using currently because it is very inexpensive, quick, and easy to do!
When I first received my teeth whitening kit from Smile Brilliant, the first thing I noticed was how organized it was and how clear the instructions were! The people at Smile Brilliant really put a lot of thought and effort into designing this kit! The first thing I had to do was to take a molding of my teeth and send it back to be processed. This whole process was rather quick and I was whitening my teeth in no time! My moldings (top & bottom) were very sturdy and both fit my teeth comfortably. I have no complaints with this kit whatsoever! Jessica has OUTSTANDING customer service and checks in with me to this day on how my whitening process is going. This is extremely important to me and I am highly impressed with her ongoing communications!
The instructions state to use the whitening gel first then to follow with the desensitizing gel but I found this to not be a good thing for me since my teeth are sensitive and my teeth are lacking proper enamel! I told Jessica about this issue and she recommended me to use the desensitizing gel first then to follow with whitening and I must say...this really did the trick! My teeth are less sensitive now but i'm still getting the maximum whitening done too. Also, I do 2 whitening sessions/week as i find that this is what works best for me & my daily schedule! This is what works best for my teeth, but i'm sure you will find a perfect strategy for you!
These are the syringes that com with the kits. My trays have lipstick on them because I sometimes clean whiten my teeth as soon as i get home from being out all day. I actually should clean them (don't judge) going to go do that right now lol. Oh yeah, I keep my trays in this cute little container that also came with my kit! Are you ready to whiten your teeth with Smile Brilliant? Don't procrastinate, lets do the things we say we'll do!

There can be few more contemptable than those who seek to cash in on a personal tragedy.
Like these lowlife.
I can put up with witch doctors playing silly-buggers with dumbarses who deserve to be taken for a ride, but to use a kidnapping to (IMNSHO) beat up a bit of free publicity for their trash entertainment TV show is lower than a snakes arse!
Parents with a missing child will clutch at any straws thrown their way. To give them false hope makes me want to punish the phony responsible in a tradition way.
The ducking stool is the first step for a wannabe witch.
Then we bring kindling...

This week, I wrote about a new album from North Carolina musicians making songs inspired by that state's Moral Monday protests. Listening to their album made me hungry for a whole playlist of American protest music.
So, I spent way too long putting together this mixtape of great American protest songs. It's an eclectic mix of hip-hop, rap, dance, and folk—it includes no punk, because that's just my taste. My desire was to make a mix that's enjoyable to listen to, in addition to being all about politics. The songs address a wide range of issues in American history, including racism, sexism, police brutality, inequality, and war. I put some serious classics on there (like "Talkin' Bout a Revolution") and some songs that make me laugh (like Peggy Seeger's "I'm Gonna Be an Engineer.") I put Nina Simone on there twice because she's Nina Simone.
Ironically, when I bought Barbara Dane's song "I Hate Capitalism" on iTunes, there was a glitch and iTunes wouldn't let me listen to it. I had to buy the song off Amazon. What can I say? Capitalism is one tough glitch.
Please let me know your other favorite protest songs in the comments—there are so many more great ones that I didn't include here.

Ellen Bauer replied on
"Windowsill" by the Arcade Fire could fit. They're based in Montreal now, but the Butler brothers (at least) are originally from the US, thus making them the opposite of Saskatchewan-born California-associated Joni Mitchell.
Also, on the topic of Joni: "The Fiddle and the Drum" might be a more perfect protest song than "Big Yellow Taxi."

Choices and Artist Acknowledgment
Paversity replied on
This is not a complaint; it's all very enjoyable. I'm just curious about the choice of using covers. 'Big Yellow Taxi' is being performed by Le Pinne, an Italian band, which then presents the question of whether is it being sung in the spirit of American protest, or is it merely included as being an American song about protest (perhaps paying homage), regardless of who is performing it and at whom the song's sentiment was being directed. Also, 'Let Me Die in My Footsteps' is listed when played as performed by "notalentpoet," (who I am unfamiliar with), so perhaps this posting maybe should reflect that it is not Bob Dylan, but instead a Dylan cover (same with the 'Big Yellow Taxi.' I don't know how 8tracks works, so perhaps the poster didn't have the option of including the original when choosing the song, but it would make sense to give proper acknowledgement of who performed the song included in the list and who they are covering, as with the first song in the list.
thanks for listening!
Sarah Mirk replied on
Hiya - Some of the choices and credits depend are a result of what's available in the public library on 8tracks.com and Soundcloud. I purchased and uploaded some of the songs for this mix but, when they were available, I drew from versions available to stream on 8tracks and Soundcloud—so some of those are covers and on 8tracks.com, some of them are attributed to the person who uploaded them (like "notalentpoet") rather than the original artist. That's part of why I publish the track list on our site, since the credits on 8tracks are not always accurate.

Amongst all the indoor playgrounds, my favorite was Polliwogs for its newness, the variety and most importantly, the value passes.
I felt some branches were more suitable for the preschoolers too. The rowdy primary school children tended to worry me too much about my children's safety.
When they opened at Suntec this year, I was filled with anticipation too. Z had a special place in his heart for Polliwogs too because we did his 3rd year old birthday party at Polliwogs Robertson Walk. Those were the days when X was still in my tummy and I would take annual leave to bring Z to Polliwogs on weekday afternoons.
Crowds aside, my favorite Polliwogs would still be Robertson Walk, Vivo City, Suntec City and then East Coast Park.
Given that we purchased value passes for both kids, we should be heading down to Polliwogs more often, and to enjoy their free flow tea and coffee.

'When the full moon shinesOn the village green
And ancient chimes
Strike thirteen . . .'
It was a bit early, I know, but I celebrated Halloween performing with StringFing at the Ghoulies Ball in the KPA up at Keele University. There were lots of pumpkins, witches and skeletons abroad and Terry and Emily got into the spirit of things by blowing the gig money on face paints from the Pound Shop. Emily changed into a witchy thing whilst Terry resurrected his Heymaker persona. For some reason neither of them thought that I required any modifying to get into character and that a cheap suit and a general demeanour of melancholia was horrific enough. The lack of a camera protects us all from the judgment of posterity.
Spike was AWOL as his son Doug had a play, Life Support, being staged at the Royal Theatre in York and, unaccountably, Spike preferred to be up there with him rather than with us. If York is too far away, you can catch the play at the KPA on Wednesday 10 November.
These days Halloween is not so much a Celtic festival when 'the summer goes to its rest' but a triumph of consumerism as it is has become the third biggest money-spinning festival after Christmas and Easter. For a gigging musician the ritual year can be both a blessing and a curse – bookings on these feast days, like buses, tend to come in threes. Only a musician can truly understand the trauma of refusing a gig, and thus money, because you are already booked.
It was well past the witching hour when I got home but the weird sisters were nowhere to be seen.

Let's start with an apology in advance to all my friends who ride bicycles. This is gonna hurt a little. Unless you have thick skin, you may want to stop reading here and go look at some pretty pictures of Bryce Canyon or Lake Powell.
Bicycles have no place on public roads. You are a hazard to me and I am a huge hazard to you! I can't tell you how many bicyclists that I almost killed on this trip. These sadistic exercise freaks always seem to pick the narrowest and busiest roads to practice their craft. I would like to move over for you, but when a semi is headed toward me in the oncoming lane, I have no choice but to buzz your backside at 60 MPH. This always results in an obscene finger gesture in my direction as the guy climbs back on his bike from the woods.
Now that I have that off my chest, I would like to take a few minutes to reflect on our trip. Right before we left, Hunter graduated High School. I could not be more proud of him. Not only did he graduate a year early, but he also earned 30 college credits over the past 3 years which means that he will be entering college as a Sophomore! Next month he starts school at my Alma Mater SUNY Stony Brook where he will be going for pre-med.
So many friends and family tell me that they have a cross country trip on their bucket list. To this I say ……Rip up your bucket list and make a five year plan. With five years of planning, anything is possible. A Bucket List is just too vague and lofty which often results in many unchecked items. With a five year plan, you start making concrete moves to make your dreams a reality. Our first cross country trip was 5 years in the making and required a lot of steps to make it a reality. Of course it was well worth the wait and we have been operating under the 5 year rule ever since. Life is short people, if you want it bad enough make a plan and do it! You will be glad that you did.
Happy Trails
The Goldsmiths.

Red Cars Are Cop Magnets
It only stands to reason that a flashy red car is going to catch the eye of a police officer who trains her radar gun on its bumper and pulls it over. Silver, white, black, and blue cars get a relative pass, thanks to those showboating red racers, right? Nope. Total myth. It turns out that most police simply look for cars that are going too fast, and then pull those cars over, regardless of color. In a study done by a St. Petersburg Times reporter in 1990, it was actually gray cars that got cited for speeding more often than statistics said they should [source: Mikkelson]. You'd think gray cars would fly under the radar, right? Hello? Is this thing on?

CASE Assessments Research Overview
Rigorous Process of Item DevelopmentQuestions undergo multiple content and grammar quality checks and are reviewed by teachers. The questions also are reviewed to ensure that they are fair, unbiased, and accessible. The questions mirror the format, blueprints, and difficulty level of the state end-of-grade and end-of-course assessments. There are specific directions for students and teachers in administering the tests. Click here to review the TE21 Item Development Process.
Reliability and ValidityTE21's CASE Assessments provide information for teachers to guide instruction, to monitor student learning, and to predict how well students will perform on state tests. These benchmarks are essentially summative assessments (administered several times a year) that are used for formative purposes to help guide instruction.
ReliabilityThere are two or more equivalent forms of the tests that are administered during the year without evidence of practice efforts (improvements in scores that result from students taking the same version of a test multiple times). To increase reliability, the assessments use sufficient numbers of questions and allow adequate time for students to take the tests. The assessments typically have above 90% predictability and are valid predictors of how well students are likely to perform on state tests. TE21's assessments also are reliable as the benchmark scores are consistent throughout a year's measurement.
ValidityTo ensure validity of CASE Assessments, the tests measure what is expected to be covered in the curriculum during the time preceding the tests. The CASE benchmarks are aligned to a school district's curriculum of what is taught and on what schedule.
ReportsTeachers are provided item analysis reports that show how well students perform on each question and the difficulty level measured by the P-value of the students who answered the question correctly. With this information, teachers have a better understanding if students at various levels answered questions as the CASE curriculum team and statisticians would have expected them to answer. Teachers receive the reports on their students within 48 hours after TE21 receives the data from the scanned answer documents so teachers have the data to use immediately to inform instruction. Teachers also keep the assessments so they can refer to the questions in their re-teaching.

I love being introduced to new authors. Now, Candace isn't new at all. I was going through the novels at Tyndale and this one stood out to me. I knew of Candace, but I hadn't read any of her work. Oh, what I have been missing. She is fabulous!
For the first time ever, and I have been reviewing for many years now, I fell in love with the main character within the first two chapters. Within the first chapter Calvert had me so intrigued that this was a novel that was difficult to put down.
When I chose this novel I had no idea it was third in this series. I always share with fellow readers that if you're going to read a series read them in order to get the best out of the penned words being offered. Not so with this novel! I was blown away when I realized it was the final book of the series. Although I have not read the first two, which I am now hoping to go back and read, I didn't feel at all that I was missing anything. This could totally be a stand alone novel.
Just like with Lay's chips you can't eat just one, well, I think I just may be addicted. I cannot wait to read more of this author. This novel held a bit of everything. What sticks out to me is the heart of the characters that Calvert was able to bring to life. It was perfectly paced, heart-grabbing, and believable. I love when a novel is so believable that I can find myself within the characters.
The back cover doesn't give a vast description of this novel. Sure, a romance, but there's also suspense, a kind of at the edge of your seat read. I also love that faith is woven throughout this novel. We see characters who are on the fence with God. We see their inner struggle with faith. They have believed at one time in their life, but as circumstances have brought them to come face to face with their fears, they have come to the conclusion that a relationship with God is the last thing that's possible. But, they will come to see that if God had a fridge their picture would be right on the front!
You know how there are books that come at the right time? This is one of those novels for me. Seven months ago my husband was hit by a drunk driver. He is still recovering from the crash. Everything about this drunk driver has changed our lives forever. Let me just say the characters in this novel brought me to a place I didn't feel comfortable with. Not in a bad way. But in that way that helped me to see what my deep anger was doing. See, there are many aspects to the characters in this novel that bring to light how drunk driving affects every aspect of life. This is one of those novels that can make a huge impact on the reader who is facing circumstances whether they are in the driver's seat, the passenger, or at the funeral of one killed by a drunk driver. So many different aspects and emotions collide with these characters. Candace wove masterfully wove them all together.
Not only medical drama, but there are many criminal aspects too! This is your favorite soap opera on steroids. This novel is explosive in bringing many characters together and entwining their stories to create this jam-packed creation. There are many twists and turns, stories within stories, and characters that will bring you to look closer at yourself.
Maybe what I love the most is that these characters took their second chance and didn't waste it. I loved journeying with these characters. They knew what their past held, how far they had come, and what it took for them to be whole. They had to find forgiveness in others and in themselves. They were not about to give up what they had come to see as a journey where God had never left them.
This novel was a gift from Tyndale for sharing my review with you.
Candace Calvert is a former ER nurse and author of the Mercy Hospital, Grace Medical, and Crisis Team series. Her medical dramas offer readers a chance to "scrub in" on the exciting world of emergency medicine. Wife, mother, and very proud grandmother, Candace makes her home in northern California.
