The system's open platform allows physicians to use their preferred therapy approach with the diagnostic and ablation catheters of their choice. </span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /><br />And here is a pic of myself, S.M., and Y.M, at an animal study.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7062231161006177024-2945576606870249589?l=lewhill2.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13166787490900426725noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7062231161006177024.post-53710236573150769272007-03-16T04:33:00.000-07:002007-03-16T04:35:45.126-07:00<a href="http://elgringocolombiano.blogspot.com/">http://elgringocolombiano.blogspot.com/<br /></a><br />check out my homie andres' weblog.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7062231161006177024-5371023657315076927?l=lewhill2.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13166787490900426725noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7062231161006177024.post-51366974870386184362007-01-06T14:25:00.000-08:002007-01-06T14:31:58.702-08:00Well, <br /><br />I'll say its different every time around. <br /><br />After my graduation last month I went to milwaukee and chicago for a few. spent some fun time with family... niece and nephew especially.<br /><br />the youngest one .. CharlesFX .. cracks me up. 1 year old. makes sound effects. I'd say he's a block off the old chill since I'm the beat boxer type. anyhow.. glad to see his communication coming along. He kind of crawls... more like scoots on his butt.<br /><br />Aleshia... well, she said the B word.. bored.. almost got in trouble. That's mom/dad (her grand parents) least favorite word. I of course mediated saying perhaps that's just a sign of how fast her mind is moving. She is a thinker no doubt. fun to see her imagination as well.<br /><br />so yeah.. resumes.. cover letters. you know, I'm aiming high... what do I love? my mac... google... music software... keyboards...? I look forward to proving that i'm just smart enough to be a part of a really dynamic company. Life after 11 years of college is feeling better by the minute..<br /><br />L2<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7062231161006177024-5136697487038618436?l=lewhill2.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13166787490900426725noreply@blogger.com1
