While in Korea, Gov. Mike Smith of Utah was relaxing in the VIP lounge the Seoul airport, awaiting his flight to Japan. At the same moment , his press secretary, Jenny Varela, was being told at the ticket counter that she had no ticket.

Three young women are at a thingytail party. The conversation turns to their position in life and it's clear that they are trying to one-up each other.
The first one says, "My husband is taking me to the French Riviera for two weeks on vacation," and then looks at the others with a superior demeanor.
The second one says, "Well, my husband just bought me a new Mercedes," and looks about with considerable pride.
Number three says, "Well, to be perfectly honest with you, we don't have much money and we don't have any material possessions. However, one thing I can tell you about my husband is that thirteen canaries can stand shoulder to shoulder on his erect thingy."
After this, the first one looks shamefaced and says, "Girls, I've got a confession to make. I was just trying to impress you. You know that vacation I was telling you about? Well, it's not to the French Riviera, it's to my parents house for two weeks."
The second one says, "Your honesty has shamed me. It's not a Mercedes, he bought me a Plymouth."
"Well," the third one says, "I also have a confession to make, canary number thirteen has to stand on one leg!"

When I was in junior high, the eighth-grade bully punched me in the stomach. Not only did it hurt and make me angry,wow gold but the embarrassment and humiliation were almost intolerable. I wanted desperately to even the score! I planned to meet him by the bike racks the next day and let him have it.
For some reason, I told my plan to Nana, my grandmother -- big mistake. She gave me one of her hour-long lectures (that woman could really talk).wow power leveling The lecture was a total drag, but among other things, I vaguely remember her telling me that I didn¡¯t need to worry about him. She said, ¡°Good deeds beget good results, and evil deeds beget bad results.¡± I told her, in a nice way, of course, that I thought she was full of it. I told her that I did good things all the time, and all I got in return was ¡°baloney!¡± (I didn¡¯t use that word.) She stuck to her guns, though. She said, ¡°Every good deed will come back to you someday, and every bad thing you do will also come back to you.¡±
It took me 30 years to understand the wisdom of her words. Nana was living in a board-and-care home in Laguna Hills, California. Each Tuesday,wow power leveling I came by and took her out to dinner. I would always find her neatly dressed and sitting in a chair right by the front door. I vividly remember our very last dinner together before she went into the convalescent hospital. We drove to a nearby simple little family-owned restaurant. I ordered pot roast for Nana and a hamburger for myself. The food arrived and as I dug in, I noticed that Nana wasn¡¯t eating. She was just staring at the food on her plate.wow power leveling Moving my plate aside, I took Nana¡¯s plate, placed it in front of me, and cut her meat into small pieces. I then placed the plate back in front of her. As she very weakly, and with great difficulty, forked the meat into her mouth, I was struck with a memory that brought instant tears to my eyes. Forty years previously, as a little boy sitting at the table.wow gold Nana had always taken the meat on my plate and cut it into small pieces so I could eat it.
It had taken 40 years, but the good deed had been repaid. Nana was right. We reap exactly what we sow. ¡°Every good deed you do wow gold will someday come back to you.¡±

Yes, it's been a long sudden month for our meetings, but we'll have atwo week break period to study & catch up.
This Monday, March 1, the CCNA sig is scheduled to meet. We will go over: a quick DLL Review, VLANs & Trunking, IP Addressing Fundamentals, TCP/IP Model, (looks like a lot, but it will go quick). Chapters to be covered are: Ch. 5, 9, 10 (INTRO), Ch. 3 (ICND). Looks like a lot but the chapters are really short & so related that it's easy.
I've updated the calendar on the webpage (http://www.hal-pc.org/~ccna). The calendar takes us up through the end of June after which we'll start over & maybe have some more speakers come.
I've gotten permission to install router simulator software in Lab 1. This is coming soon, like next week, although I don't anticipate discussing router commands until April 26. I'd still like to try & get a router kit. And we don't yet have the Boson practice exams. We may have to choose what we'd like to get in order to save money, unless everybody wants to chip in and get both (might run us $35 each). More on this to come.

Hey all,
Just a reminder that we'll be meeting this Monday, Feb. 21, since our sig was moved to the 1st & 4th Mondays. Hey, it's a free day. We'll be going over Layer-2 Switching and the TCP/IP Model. The TCP/IP Model really should be grouped with the OSI Model but I didn't want to confuse anybody.
Look for http://www.hal-pc.org/~ccna updates. There's some up now (like the calendar & book info) & more will be up before the night is through. I will put the Powerpoint notes up tonight as well with their own link in the index. You will soon be certified!

Who I am. « Result #10 on Feb 13, 2004, 1:30pm »
Hey, ok, I am Kathleen McKenzie, the SIG leader for the HAL-PC CCNA SIG.
Just a little bit about me: I have a bachelor's degree in Management Information Systems and now I'm studying for the CCNA exam.
I've been studying for the past 6 months and while I feel well acquainted with the topics, the details are very evasive. I'm hoping I'll be able to learn from other people in the SIG.
