Hello all and a belated Happy New Year! I hope this post finds the awesome
trainers and dedicated students of this list doing wonderfully in the start of
2008.

I was brainstorming recently for my class on the various reasons you hear
people (me) fail the lab exam. Here is my list, I thought some would like to
look it over here. I would love any help on compiling this. This is also under
the Tips section of my new Web site HYPERLINK
