Today as I was standing in the shower with my old dog while she walked constant circles around me, undoubtedly trying to wrangle me; I realized how much we have in common. Pets of all kinds are always teaching us so many lessons and this dog, our dear Annie, has been quite a teacher. Shall we look at some of the ways we are similar to our old dogs, especially when it involves learning new tricks?
First of all, let's all agree puppies are cute.
Youngsters and puppies can get away with so much, don't you think?
Cute, however, isn't everything; there's a lot to be said for experience.
Maybe that's a bit of "sour grapes" as we grow older.
Drooling is cuter when you're young.
When you're young and drool, people say, "OOH, and AAH." When you're older they say, "EEW and OH NO!"
Old dogs know where they should and want to go…and I do mean "go."
If they leave a "message" somewhere they ought not to, well, there's a perfectly good reason for that…in their thinking if not yours.
We don't like change because it is uncomfortable.
Change means we have to learn "new tricks."
We agree learning to do something in a new way is a terrible nuisance, especially if we don't feel well.
"New tricks" are uncomfortable because we like the familiar.
We are always entitled to ask, "What's in it for me?"
Change is more difficult than when you learned whatever it is the first time around.
We know we're not supposed to but sometimes, we'd like to bite the hand that feeds us.
Hey, we're only mere mammals.
Cool wet grass is impossible to resist.
Some days, we could roll on forever.
You can't roll uphill.
Sometimes when you're in a rush or it's raining outside, you have to pee on the run.
Don't pee or poop on the hill you're going to roll around on.
We look forward to dinner and believe it is best when we don't have to cook it.
Cans are best unless you're really young and have good teeth to chew that dry stuff.
Just because something looks real doesn't mean it is. Fake meat?
Yes, we'll sit up for a treat… duh?
We prefer it if the barber or groomer didn't pull too tightly on that comb.
There is a direct correlation between our teeth and our "fur."
We all deserve to be treated with care.
Some days we're hygienically challenged and not sure which end smells the worst.
A tight leash is a nasty thing to endure.
A collar is more easily tolerated if it's got glitz and class.
We all agree on one lyric which is, "I gotta be me."
We all prefer fresh water every day.
None of us want to drink anything with leaves, blades of grass or slobber in it.
We often growl but we don't really mean it.
Growling simply means we are "happiness challenged."
Along the path of life there are splinters and thorns.
Sometimes they end up going where they aren't supposed to go.
There is usually someone to help you get them out and you shouldn't growl at them or try to bite them.
Sometimes, when you've had all you can take, then you must growl.
It's a highly guarded secret that growling, howling and yelping feel good. This is not true for whelping.
Take care of your paws, you need them; if not now, later.
Medicine doesn't always taste good; it's not supposed to or everyone would want it all the time.
Some mammals want to be medicated all the time.
You don't want to be one of them.
Obedience school is a good thing if taken in moderation.
Sniffing is okay; snorting isn't.
Tail wagging is encouraged…unless you have a very bad back.
Compassion seems to come naturally to the four-legged mammals; more so than the two-legged kind. They have to be taught.
Pets don't usually feel sorry for themselves and if they do, whimpering briefly is allowed and usually is significant.
Humans revel in whimpering.
Licking wounds is okay for pets but discouraged in humans.
Once you've tasted, chased and bounced a bright yellow tennis ball, there is no turning back.
It's okay to leave an impression on your doctor or vet as long as it isn't an impression of your teeth.
We all share a love for life. Animals gravitate toward it more easily than humans do.
Our four-legged friends forge on without self-pity and have much to teach us.

Advice on Insurance and Agreed Values
Kevin Cooper is the Club's contact for insurance matters. He may be contacted by email at email@example.com
Applies only to Club Members
Owners may wish to contact the Brokers who advertise with us from the list at the foot of the page
Please remember when contacting an insurance broker that he will require information that only you can give him. The Club cannot quote an estimated insurance premium as individual circumstances will differ. For example, your age, your driving history, records of accidents and your postcode are all fed into the broker's computer so that he can give you the best of several quotations. It is also a good idea to hunt around several brokers - both associated with the Club and completely independent of us - for the best quotation.
Agreed Values
It is a good idea to get an Agreed Value. The cost is £10.00, and is payable to the RSSOC. This service is available to bona fide Club Members only and hardly reflects the amount of work that goes into researching a satisfactory value for your car.
Bear in mind that an Agreed Value can make a significant difference to the amount that you car will be worth in the case of a total loss, so it is well worth getting it valued by the Club, or by a competent motor engineer (which will be much more costly, but also more thorough).
We need:
Your Club Membership details
Six photographs of the car - front - back - both FULL sides - we use one of these photographs as a visual record in our database. - under the bonnet - the interior from the passenger door.
Details of enhancements such as:
- new or refurbished engine, gearbox, axle etc. - respray - new interior - new headlining - body-off rebuild - Remember that if you have made serious enhancements to the car you should let us know!
"Wear and tear" replacements do not count as enhancements.
Make sure you state the full condition of the car, its registration number and date, when you bought it and for how much and anything else that you think will help us to make a judgement. Is it a past RSSOC Concours prize winner, for example?

Pontiac Sunbird AC Is Not Working
Learn if it's a simple fix or time to seek out a trusted technician.
Troubleshoot with RepairPal
What are common reasons my Pontiac Sunbird has air conditioning problems?
Get your Pontiac issue diagnosed by a professional
What to expect at the repair shop when your Pontiac Sunbird has air conditioning problems
What will be the outcome of an air conditioning system diagnosis?
Replacement of most air conditioning components requires complete evacuation of the air conditioning system with a refrigerant recovery machine. Once components are re-installed, the technician will remove all air from the system in preparation for recharging the system with new refrigerant.
RepairPal Recommendations for air conditioning systems
Refrigerant is environmentally harmful, and should never be released into the air. Instead, a proper refrigerant recovery machine must be used to protect the technician, and the environment. We do not recommend attempting to recharge the A/C system at home, as products available to consumers tend to contain substances that can cause damage to expensive refrigerant recovery equipment. Lastly, if your vehicle has not been converted from R12 to R134a refrigerant, the best time to have this service completed is when the air conditioning system is already being serviced.
What to look out for with the air conditioning system
Refrigerant is a dangerous chemical that can cause severe chemical burns to the skin and eyes if improperly handled, and discharging into the atmosphere will cause damage to the ozone. Refrigerant types are updated over time, and the appropriate type must be used. If there has been an update or conversion from an older refrigerant type, a label should be placed under the hood to make your technician aware of the change. Depending on location, it may be illegal for a technician to replace refrigerant without updating the A/C system to handle the newest type.

Lake Tahoe clarity improves, long-term trend still needs study
Lake Tahoe's clarity showed a third consecutive year of improvement in 2012, but more study is needed to determine if the gains are part of a long-term trend.
The average clarity for Lake Tahoe in 2012 was 75.3 feet, an increase of 6.4 feet from 2011, according to numbers released Wednesday by the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency and the UC Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center.
The highest reading in 2012 was 107 feet. The lowest reading for the year was 57 feet.
The average figure is made up of 22 Secchi disk readings throughout the year. The readings are taken by lowering a 10-inch white disk into the lake and recording the depth at which the disk is no longer visible.
Winter clarity has continued to show a long-term trend of improvement, while summer clarity has continued to decline, according to a Wednesday statement from the TRPA and TERC.
"We are very excited about the results from 2012, especially within the context of the long-term record for annual and winter clarity," said John Reuter, associate director of the UC Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center, in the statement. "It is particularly encouraging to see clarity improved during wet years when the amount of fine sediments and nutrients going into the lake is high."
Whether efforts to reduce the amounts of clarity-reducing fine sediment and nutrients reaching the lake via stormwater runoff can be linked to the recent gains requires additional study, according to the statement.
TRPA spokeswoman Kristi Boosman said the numbers speak to the need to continue environmental restoration and erosion-control measures, while adding that a few more years of data are needed to determine whether the improvements are part of a long-term trend.
Laurel Ames, conservation co-chair of the Tahoe Area Sierra Club, cautioned against putting too much stock in one year's readings of a complex issue without additional context, like recent changes to road sand formulas resulting in less fine sediment reaching the lake. Slow spring runoffs during the past couple of years due to colder springs may have also allowed more runoff to infiltrate into the soil before it could sweep fine sediment into the lake, Ames said.
"I think it's hopeful, and that's good, but I wouldn't hang my hat on it," Ames said about this year's clarity numbers.
One concern for the lake's future is obtaining consistent funding for restoration projects to help restore the lake's clarity.
Representatives of local, state and federal agencies each spoke about ongoing funding concerns to the TRPA's Governing Board Wednesday.
The reluctance of Nevada to sell bonds, California's delay in bringing an updated water bond to voters and the end of the Southern Nevada Public Lands Management Act, which has brought millions of federal dollars to the lake for environmental projects, were all noted as concerns for funding future restoration projects.
TRPA spokeswoman Julie Regan said she hoped one potential source of federal funding, a reauthorization of the Lake Tahoe Restoration Act, would be reintroduced to congress within the next few weeks. The first version of the act spurred more than $1.5 billion in funding for environmental projects from private sources, as well as local, state and federal governments.

Run toward fear: new poems and a poet's handbook
Third World Press, 2004 - Poetry - 68 pages
Haki R. Madhubuti minces no words in 'Run Toward Fear', a powerful new collection of poetry. The collection offers readers a mixture of poems that challenge and cause both reflection and question on many of the headline issues that have launched this century. Madhubuti includes poignant moving tributes to Jacob Carruthers, Gwendolyn Brooks and Amiri Baraka, as well as, heartfelt words that provide comfort and guidance to the families of the twenty-one who lost their lives in Chicago's E-2 night club tragedy. Madhubuti, motivated by constant requests from younger poets and teachers of poetry to share his insights on writing and the art of producing poetry, offers an added extra in 'Run Toward Fear'. The final section of the book, 'A Poet's Handbook', provides personal and sometimes anecdotal insights on the craft of writing poetry. The 'Handbook' serves as a practical answer to the book's final poem 'For the Consideration of Poets'.

Configuring EtherChannel – Part 2
In last post we discussed what EtherChannel is and how it might be used. In this post we will look at the configuration of EtherChannel. The configuration of EtherChannel on Cisco switches is fairly simple. In order for EtherChannel to funtion properly, you must ensure that all link are the same type and are set to the same speed, duplex, native VLAN, and VLAN range as well as the same trunking status and type. Once this is set up, you use the command channel-group to define an interface as being part of an EtherChannel.
Here is an example of what commands are required to add an interface to an EtherChannel group that has a group number of 15:
Switch(config)#int fa0/1 Switch(config-if)#channel-group 15 on
The first command simply takes you into the configuration mode for interface FastEternet 0/1. The second command is what assigns the interface to EtherChannel group 15. The command channel-group tells the interface that it is going to be part of an EtherChannel. The number that follows that (15 in this example), specifies the EtherChannel group number is 15. All interfaces that have the same group number are part of the same EtherChannel. The last part of the command is the word "on." This makes the interface active in that EtherChannel. There are other options instead of "on" which can tell the interface to auto-negotiate whether or not to go active, but since there are different protocols to do this, forcing it eliminates one possibility for misconfiguration.
That is pretty much all there is to it. Once configured on multiple interfaces on two switches, you will have a high speed EhterChannel running.
Configuring EtherChannel – Part 1
With the demand for bandwidth increasing everyday, companies are finding that the transport technology they installed just a few years ago isn't fast enough anymore. One way to increase network traffic speed without having to necessarily buy new hardware is to use a technology called EtherChannel. EtherChannel allows you to use two or more Ethernet connections together. An analogy would be that of an expressway. Each Ethernet interface would be like a lane on the expressway, the more lanes there are, the more traffic that can fit on the expressway. The concept is nothing new – it's been around for a long time. Back in 1998 when I got my first ISDN line in my home, I had two 64k links that were bonded together and worked as a single 128k link.
EtherChannel does have a few requirements. This first is that all the interfaces must be the same type. For example, you could not use a 10mps Ethernet interface and a 100mbs Ethernet interface in the same EtherChannel. The other requirement is that it is a point to point connection of sorts, in that a EtherChannel only connects two devices together. It is commonly used to connect switches together. And, of course, both devices must support EtherChannel.
In the next post we will look at the commands used to configure EtherChannel on a Cisco switch.
Cisco Cuts More Workers
Last week Cisco announced that it was going to cut 500 people from its work force. While that may not sound like good news, you need to keep in mind that 500 workers represents less than 1 percent of Cisco's global work force. Of course, that offers no peace of mind if you are one of the 500.
When you look back over the last couple years you can see that hearing that Cisco is letting 500 people go is kind of a good sign. Back in 2011 Cisco reduced its work force by 6500 people and last year they reduced it by another 1300. This means that while they continue to reduce the work force, each year they let fewer and fewer people go. If this trend continues, we may even see the the total work force increase in size over the next couple of years.
Other promising news from Cisco is that the net income for the second quarter was up 44 percent from the same time last year and so are the net sales. So, while the news of more cuts is never a good thing, it certainly isn't as bad as we have seen. It may actually be good news, in an odd sort of way.
Over 16 Years Up-Time – Impressive
When you buy a computer, how long do you expect it to last? Most people expect to get at least three years out of a computer and many want more like five years. Personally, I feel if I get two years out of a PC before needing to upgrade, I am doing pretty good. When it comes to file servers, you can also expect three to five years of service. Of course, we aren't talking three to five years of up-time. There will be times the system will have to come down for maintenance of some type and nobody should be surprised if a hard drive has to be replaced.
I remember when we were doing Y2K patches for a number of our customers, and we found a server that had been running for around three years. We couldn't believe it. Well, today I heard of one that has been running for over 16 years. It is running Netware 3.12 (anyone remember Netware?). I can remember installing a number of 3.12 servers and I will say the OS was extremely stable.
The most impressive thing about this is that this means the hard drives spun non stop for over 6000 days. I don't know if I even had a hard drive last 600 days. That is really something. If you are having a hard time believing this (as I did), hop over here to see the (retro) screen shots. Of course, anything can be Photoshopped, but I choose to believe. What about you?
New ICND1 E-Learning
If there is one thing I have learned from being an instructor, it is that not everyone learns the same way. Some learn by reading, others by watching and still others by doing. For myself, I learn best by doing. If I need to learn how to configure a new device, I try to find an example of a properly configured one and then work backwards from that.
Many people find classroom training to be helpful. Since I am an instructor I am glad that there are people like that, and I feel that there will always be. But there are other people that would rather be able to learn at their own speed and on their own schedule. For people like this, Cisco just launched a pretty innovative E-learning offering for the INCD1 course, which I recently had the opportunity to contribute to.
For the longest time, most E-learning was really just reading a screen instead of a book .When you first look at Cisco's product, you might think that is all it is. But you need to take some time and look a little deeper. While there is a lot to read in the course, the information is presented in small, easy to digest sections. Also, sprinkled throughout the course are a number of videos that allow you to actually see the technology in action. However, that isn't the coolest part of this product. The really cool part is that embedded right within the course content is access to virtual Cisco devices. This means that right after learning about a certain feature you can try configuring it yourself.
There are actually two types of activities that allow you to access the virtual devices. The first are called Discoveries. Discoveries are exercises that walk you step by step through a configuration process. They tell you exactly what to do and add valuable information as to why you are doing it and what to watch out for. The other time you will use the virtual devices is at the end of a section in what are called challenges. Challenges are graded exercises that include a number of tasks that outline what you need to configure. Once graded, you will see what tasks you did successfully as well as those you may have missed. You can continue to work on the tasks and regrade the challenge until you successfully complete all the tasks. Or course, if you just can't figure out how to complete any task, you can refer to an answer key for help.
Overall the product is designed very well and should prove to be very helpful for those that desire to acquire a Cisco certification. It is currently available at the Cisco Learning Network Store.
What's New in ICND2
Over the last two posts we have looked at the CCNA refresh that Cisco recently did. We first talked about the new test and how long the current ones are valid. Then we looked at what changed in the ICND1 course, and now we are going to look at what has changed in the ICND2 course.
The first things that jumps out about INCD2 is that it focuses on troubleshooting more than the previous version. This is evident in the first lesson, which is troubleshooting VLANS. They have also added two new topics to the first section of the course, HSRP and Etherchannel. It's good to see topics like this added to the course.
In the second module they added IPv6 troubleshooting. The next few sections of the course discuss routing protocols such as OSPF and EIGRP. These sections also include lessons on troubleshooting routing issues.
The last section of the course covers SMNP, device management, and and licensing. The licensing topic is new content while the device management section is information that used to be covered in ICND1.
Of course, to make room for the new content they had to remove something. Well, actually what they did was move most of the removed content to ICND1. Topics such as Access Control Lists and NAT are now found in ICND1.
What's New in ICND1
In my last post I told you that Cisco was refreshing the CCNA Routing and Switching track and explained how that impacted the required tests. In this post we are going to take a closer look at the topics that are covered in the new ICND1 courses and how they differ from the previous version.
Let's start with what has been removed from the ICND1 course. First off, wireless is, for all intents and purposes, gone. The logic behind this is most likely that there is a CCNA wireless track so there is no reason to cover it in both courses. The topic that discusses SMD has also been removed as well as the the topic on RIP. There seems to be very little on RIP in the course, which makes sense based on the fact that it is rarely used. INCD1 also no longer covers Serial configuration for WAN connections. This topic has not been eliminated from the CCNA curriculum, but rather moved to the ICND2 course.
With the above content removed, room was made for other topics. For the most part, content that uses to be found in ICND2 was brought into ICND1. This includes topics such as OSPF implementation, IPv6, routing between VLANs and access control lists.
Overall it appears that the refresh of the INCD1 course is a more thorough overhaul than we have seen in previous refreshes. In the end I think the course will prove to be an improvement over the previous version, but I also think it will prove to be more challenging for the student. In the next post we will take a look at what's new in ICND2.
Cisco Refreshes the CCNA Track
One of the most popular certifications is Cisco's CCNA certification. Over the past few years Cisco has made a number of changes to this certification. Actually, what they did was expand the CCNA certification, which resulted in several different types of CCNA. The original CCNA is now called, CCNA Routing and Switching. The other CCNAs include the following:
- CCNA Security
- CCNA Voice
- CCNA Wireless
- CCNA SP Operations
Due to the changes in technology, these certifications need to be updated from time to time. Cisco just announced an update to the CCNA Routing and Switching track. The main point of interest to anyone working on achieving this certification is how this will affect the tests. In this post we will take a look at that. In upcoming posts, we will explore what has changed in the CCNA level courses as well as new offerings Cisco has announced that will assist individuals in obtaining this certification.
There are two ways to achieve the CCNA Routing and Switching certification. You can take two tests, one focuses on content found in the ICND1 course and the other one focuses on the ICND2 content. Or, you can take a single test that covers content found in both courses. The current tests are still available, so if you have been studying for the those don't worry, you can still take them. They will be available until September 30, 2013. Here is a list of the previous tests and the the new ones that will replace them:
Single Test
- 640-802 CCNA (Available until 9/30/13)
- 200-120 CCNA (New test – replaces 640-802)
Two Tests
- 640-822 ICND1(Available until 9/30/13)
- 100-101 ICND1 (New test – replaces 640-822)
- 640-816 ICND2(Available until 9/30/13)
- 200-101 ICND2 (New test – replaces 640-816)
In my next post we will take a look at what has changed in ICND1.
Good News for Samsung – Not so Much for Apple
One of the hottest and most contested lawsuits in recent times has been the Apple vs Samsung. These two have been at it for a long time now. First Apple sues Samsung, then Samsung sues Apple. To be honest with you, I am not even sure who is suing who anymore. I could have sworn this thing was settled a while ago. But it has not.
In the latest bout, Apple has been seeking to prevent Samsung from selling its Nexus devices. However, today the U.S. Appeals court stated that it would stand by an October decision which allows Samsung to sell the devices.
This isn't the only bit of news that has been in Samsung's favor as of late. Just recently Judge Lucy Koh found that Samsung did not willfully infringe on Apple's patents, which means that Apple will not be able to seek triple damages associated with another case. However, she also denied Samsung's request for a new trial in that case.
Another Cisco Acquisition or Two
There was a time that it seemed like you couldn't go a day without hearing about a company that Cisco acquired. While those days seem to be behind us, there seems to have been a recent uptick in this area.
Last week Cisco purchased an Israeli mobile upstart called, "Intucell" for a cool $475 million. This week they purchased a Czech security company called, "Cognitive Security." When looking for reasons as to why they made these acquisitions, we don't have to look much further than the press release. Cisco's rational for purchasing Intucell is:
"The proliferation of connected mobile devices, faster network speeds, and growing demand for high-bandwidth applications and services are driving greater network traffic and complexity. As mobile service providers continue to face increased end-user demand, the need to optimize network bandwidth, usage, and services is increasing. Intucell's SON software platform addresses these challenges by examining the network, identifying issues in real time, and intelligently adapting the network to meet demand." As for the Cognitive acquisition they put it this way:
"Mobility and the cloud are drastically changing the IT security landscape, where traditional security approaches aren't enough to protect customers against an evolving threat landscape. Today's threats are more targeted, complex, and disruptive than ever before. Cognitive Security's technology identifies and detects security anomalies, and when coupled with the network for mitigation, allows Cisco to uniquely address our customers' security requirements."
