There are times when I crave to be alone, especially after a busy week of work and daily chores. This is the time when I recharge and let my mind wander and let my heart feel what it feels. Today, I gave myself the gift of solitude.
Since the cleaning of my pickup's a/c has been long overdue, I started my day by bringing "Greenie" to Frigidzone at Kalayaan Avenue. The shop had a small customers' lounge so I brought a book to read while I waited for my pickup. The lounge's a/c was on full blast and I was quite comfy sitting alone on the wooden bench. I never got around to reading the book though because I was fascinated by the shop's "Aspin" (asong Pinoy/local dog). She was a short-haired, medium-sized, brown dog with black, floppy ears, and a pointed black nose. She looked like a supervisor, sniffing at the customers and their cars and just walking around and observing the goings-on in the shop. After her "rounds", she plopped down at the entrance of the lounge with her body parallel to the glass door. She actually blocked the doorway! Then it occurred to me… she was trying to cool herself down with what little air that leaked out from under the door. As time passed, people started to come in. I was amazed at how people respected the dog and took extra care to step over her and not disturb her. I realized two things: 1. The dog was really smart. 2. There is still good in people. 3. I should've left the book at home ('coz it was heavy and it was more fun to watch the world).
Next stop for "Greenie Day"… change oil. I went to a nearby Petron gas station at Katipunan Avenue which had a mini-mall complete with restaurants, a convenience store, a barber shop, a bank, and Starbucks. I deposited my pickup at the basement and proceeded to Jollibee (the #1 local hamburger franchise). I got myself a hotdog, fries, and Sarsi (rootbeer). I took a table at the second floor as the first floor was just wild with activity. I ate slowly and immersed myself with people-watching. Across my table, there was a woman in her 30s or 40s who appeared to be studying for an exam. I tried to peek at what she was reading and saw some pictures of x-rays. My guess was that she was studying for the medical boards. I felt her anxiety. In another table, there was a family of three, a mom, a daughter, and a son with a man who was in his 60s. The family didn't talk to the man much and I figured that he must've been their driver. He looked tired and sad and I felt a bit sorry for him. Then there was another family with a little girl who looked so happy and excited as she ate her spaghetti and chicken. I heard my phone's text alert and it was time to fetch Greenie.
It felt good to spend some time by myself. It gave me a chance to be an outsider/observer. Sometimes, I get so caught up in myself and my concerns that I forget that other people had problems of their own and feelings that go with them. I forget that I am a mere speck in this universe and there are things which are bigger than me. I forget to count my blessings and thank God. Not everybody appreciate solitude but for me, it's a welcome treat. Try it!

The Deposition, Part 15
Perhaps it was for the best not positioning the model exactly in the pose required, as it gave me a need to come up with a different composition. The left figure is now kneeling / crouching which freed up some space for the right hand side figure. This one now has enough space for movement so it doesn't have to stand all the way upright. Working with the interlocking of the limbs. Suddenly it seems there are too many even without the crucified man's right leg. Also need to bring the legs further over the right hand man's shoulder. They almost need to sit.
Disregarding the inaccuracies and anatomical blunders, I think the left hand figure is headed in the right direction. I need to work out the right hand man's grip on the legs though. I like the right arm wrapped around the thighs, it's the left one that needs a thought. And I need to reshuffle his feet. Hmmm…

It was the night before the night before Christmas and everyone in the North Pole was getting very excited. All of the Elves had made the toys ready for all the children who had written to Father Christmas. He'd been through his list and checked off who had been naughty and who had been nice. The sleigh was nearly packed and ready to go and all of the Reindeer were very keen to get going. All of the reindeer except one that is. Rudolph. Rudolph was sad – and a little bit worried.
A few years before Rudolph had been sad because he had a bright red nose and all of the other reindeer had brown noses. They used to laugh at him and call him names. They wouldn't let him join in any reindeer games. But that year, it was really foggy on Christmas eve and Father Christmas needed some-one to light the way. That's where Rudolph came in. His nose was so bright and shiny that Father Christmas could use it as a headlight to see where he was going.
But this year, his nose isn't bright, or shiny. It's not even red. It's brown.
He can't understand it. He just woke up that way.
"Rudolph! Rudolph!" said Trixie the Elf. "I've just heard the weather forecast for tomorrow night and it's foggy again. Father Christmas is going to need your bright red nose. You have to get it back!" she cried.
"But I don't know how!" said Rudolph. "If I knew how I'd do it. It was big and red yesterday but when I woke up this morning it was brown."
"Right said Trixie – let's have a think. Oh, I know. My face goes red when I do some exercise. Maybe we could try that."
"OK" said Rudolph. "I'll ask Dancer. He can get us moving." So Trixie and Rudolph ran off to find Dancer.
Dancer showed them some amazing moves. They pumped their arms. They did slides. They did the running man.
But nothing seemed to work. Rudolph's nose was still brown.
"Have you tried laughing. Maybe that would work" said Trixie.
Rudolph shook his head. He didn't even feel happy, let alone ready to laugh. Rudolph needed to get happy.
He sang some of his favourite songs.
That started to work. He was almost cheerful. Then Trixie snuck up behind him and tickled him! He laughed and laughed and laughed.
Finally they looked at his nose. It was still brown.
"I've run out of ideas" said Trixie "and now it's time for bed. Let's see if we can figure it out in the morning. If not then I'll have to tell Father Christmas and we'll have to call off Christmas."
"WHAT" said Rudolph. "You can't do that!"
"We'll have to. If Father Christmas can't see where he's going then he won't be able to drive the sleigh and he needs your nose to see where he's going. Goodnight Rudolph!"
Rudolph was all alone. It took him ages to get to sleep. He was so worried. What if Christmas was cancelled because of him. Finally he drifted off.
Trixie however had got to sleep pretty easily. She was exhausted from dancing with Dancer! She was having a lovely dream about an enormous ice-cream when she awoke with a start. In the dark of her room she could hear rustling. "Who who's there" she called out in a little voice. Nobody answered. The rustling carried on. Finally she decided to be brave and switch the light on. She closed her eyes and counted to 3.
1, 2, 3, click!
And there, at the bottom of her bed, was Rudolph, eating the chocolate from her selection box. "What are you doing!" she shouted, but Rudolph just kept eating. She got closer to him, and his eyes were closed.
He was sleep walking!
And his whole face was brown.
"Hang on a second" thought Trixie. She ran over to her sink, got her flannel and wiped Rudolph's nose. Sure enough, as she wiped his nose became brighter and brighter and redder and redder until it lit up the whole room. Rudolph had been sleep eating other people's chocolate. His nose wasn't brown – it had chocolate on it!
Trixie shouted really loudly to wake Rudolph up.
He woke with a start and she shared the amazing news with him!
So the following night, when all the children in the world were asleep, Rudolph proudly lit the way for Father Christmas's sleigh. All of the presents were delivered, all of the other reindeer still loved him and everybody lived …. Happily Ever After!

i'm not upset
Hazel looked back at Jordan quizzically and back to Tara. She thought that more people, calm people, would have been better. It wasn't something she wanted to press, though. Hazel had Jordan at least and if Tara wanted to leave, she could. At least she seemed unhurt and wasn't in need of any additional assistance.
"Sure, good luck to you too" she called out after Tara.
Hazel sighed, letting the nerves out of her system. Taking a big breath was an old trick for stage fright. She flipped her hair over her shoulder and smiled.
"It could have gone worse, I think?" she added.
Jordan made a move to go. Hazel took one last look around, and then noticed he'd already gone to leave. She took hold of the strap of her bag and nodded, following after him with a short hop to catch up.
((Hazel continued in We're Here Because We're Here))

Tucker Carlson hammered liberal Roll Call columnist, Jonathan Allen, last Friday night, accusing him of writing a scathing and unfair piece about soon to be Attorney General Jeff Sessions being a racist.
According to the Daily Caller, Tucker Carlson, who has a prime time Fox news show, and is co-founder of The Daily Caller, explained to Allen that his column is,"one of the most unfair things I think I've ever read." Carlson continued, "I mean, it's almost like a pure download from the DNC website".
Allen wrote in his column that Sessions is a racist because he was endorsed by the white national group, Stormfront. When questioned about that accusation by Carlson, Allen replied,"Well, look I'm not saying he's like a member of Stormfront or anything," to which Carlson quickly followed up with, "What are you saying?"
Carlson went on to point out to Allen how Sessions has been an Alabama senator for over 19 years and asked Allen if could name one incident where Sessions mistreated anyone based on race. Allen couldn't come up with one and Carlson let Allen have it, calling his work, "a total hack job."
Carlson challenged Allen on live TV to give one example of any Session opinion that may be considered on "the ideological fringe". Carlson bluntly asked Allen, "Do you really think that Jeff Sessions is pro KKK?"
Allen responded with, "No, what I'm saying is…"
Carlson slammed him with, "You are carrying water for the Democratic party, an you're smearing this guy without engaging his ideas."

Location: The Atlantic Ocean
It's been a beautiful day on the big ocean blue! A nice and sunny one that we all got the chance to enjoy after our nice, cold, mid-Atlantic showers on deck. While land may not be quite in our sight, it is most definitely on our minds. The count down started this morning with less than 200 nautical miles to go to now, after dinner, just below 75. We are eagerly awaiting a glimpse of our destination for this leg of the trip. We have all made guesses as to which watch team will be the first to spot it. While we have enjoyed each others company day in and day out we are running out of snacks, and we just can't have that.

i'm so happy that i passed the exam with full score, thanks for this dump, thanks all.
Great job, you guys. I passed my exam with your help! Thanks for everything!
This dump is very very valid. I passed this week with a satisfied score. ALL questions were from this file.
Absolutely valid. i passed today. You are the best. Thanks so much.
Passed my exam with this dump. Really recommend. The questions are valid and answers are accurate. The only shortcoming is there are too many questions and you need to spend lots of time to prepare with the questions. But compare to pass the exam and get certified, it's only a piece of cake.
This Dump is Valid.I gave my test today, and passed,thanks!
All this dumps are very good, i just did this one and took part in my exam. i really don't believe myself that i have got so high score. Thanks for their dumps.
Strongly recommend this dump! I passed my exam and just lost 2 questions. I prepared my exam only with this questions set. I have been in a CCNA course for about 2 weeks and was trained on the exam topics. SO I think if you have enough time to prepare for the exam, you should take some courses like me. Well, it's OK if you do not study courses and just prepare for the exam with the exam dump. Some tips for you: You can see the whole exam topics in the Cisco official site. I suggest you to spend more time on the Routing Technologies because there may more questions on that topic than on other topics. And questions on that topic are much more harder than others. That's why you need to spend more time on topics about Routing Technologies. I got all questions from this dump. I think I answered 2 questions wrong because I did not notice they change the server name and the sequence of the options. So be sure to read your questions CAREFULLY in your actual exam. That's the second suggestion I give.
Valid study material.Recommend strongly.
Not bad by Cisco standards. I am a CCNP R&S and used only this dump to prepare for my exam, and was able to pass on the first attempt. There are some typos and some problems with the questions on the downloadable test, which I reported to Linda. If an answer to a review question sounds wrong to you google it or report it. Don't take the dump's word. Fortunately, this situation is rare. In my exam, almost 98% questions were from this dump. I even found at least 5 questions that directly the same as the dump, word for word.

The results of the Fallout 10th Anniversary Contest are finally out:
After plowing through more entries than we ever thought possible, we whittled the list of over 17,000 entries down to the 12 finalists and picked a winner for the Fallout 10th Anniversary Contest. The entry that came out on top was 'Grim Reaper's Sprint,' which restores all your action points whenever you kill an opponent. Congratulations to Marc-André Deslongchamps from Montreal for his winning entry. He selected the PC Grand Prize and takes home a boatload of goodies in addition to getting his Perk in Fallout 3. We'll have a little interview up with Marc-André today or tomorrow.
Click to know the names and Perks that got some nice prizes.
Grand Prize Winner
|Grim Reaper's Sprint
Everytime you kill an opponent, all your action points are automatically restored.Submitted by: Marc-Andre Deslongchamps
Runners Up
|Falling from Heaven
When you're in a combat and losing it, a random object (a spoon, a table, etc.) might fall from the sky and hit your enemy, causing damage (the amount of damage is relevant to the mass of the object). This perk naturally only works outdoors.Submitted by: Ville Hankipohja
|Crazy Eye
Opponents attacking from the front suffer a penalty to hit you because, seriously, that eye is freaking me out.Submitted by: Brett Harper
|Money Talks
You receive a bonus to your Charisma, Reputation and Speech skills in direct proportion to your wealth.Submitted by: Kirby Go
|Deal with the Devil
You sold your soul to the Devil. You feel hollow inside. You receive $500,000 in your inventory.Submitted by: DUPARC Melanie
You've learned to control the tone of your voice. By controling your voice you are better able to convice people to see your side of things or to rouse them to anger. You have now gained the ability of a second chance when talking to people.Submitted by: Jacob Eckelman
|Clumsy Mother
Your mother wasn't exactly the most graceful woman in the compound. So by the time you were walking you were dropped on your head… a LOT. As a result, you may not be the sharpest tool in the shed but your noggin is probably the toughest part of your body.
Intelligence – 20 ++
Headshots do no extra damage to you at all.Submitted by: Joshua Sims
|European Accent
From old holovids in the vault you learned how to fake foreign accents. It wasn't much good in the vault but outside it proves a useful skill. You have a much better chance of impressing and charming the 'ladies' if you lay on a thick french accent and breathe some nonsense in their ears. +15% to speech skillSubmitted by: Marco Stockmann
You're twisted, seriously. It sometimes happens that somebody else inside you takes control over your mind and body. From time to time, somebody else can talk or act in your place. He gives you his skills and his vices for a short duration. You can suddenly talk science like a doctor and then think like a two year child at the very next second. Quite random and risky way of life. – This Perk allows short time accesses to different levels of dimensions of dialogs sentences and strongly affects the character sheet. Could be based on low intelligence and high luck, or so.Submitted by: Christophe Zerr
You have the uncontrollable urge to steal from people you talk to. They never notice it, but neither do you! You sometimes end up with their money or items. It's like a disease!Submitted by: Mark Boomsma
|You First
Through charismatic and dynamic leadership your followers are more inclined to risk their lives for you. This means your followers are more likely to be targeted than you.Submitted by: Mark Jackson
|Nuclear Man (or Woman)
Your body reacts like a battery to radiation and you've learned to harness it. Once per day, you can unleash a mini Nuclear explosion from your body, causing (X) amount of damage to all combatants in (X) radius.Submitted by: Kevin Turner
Randomly Chosen Winners
|Starfish Limbs
Ability to regenerate limbs and even head. Can recover from otherwise fatal damage.
Healing Rate+
Damage Resistance+Submitted by: Simon Kavanagh

Your voice made wonders on the enclave radio staff and they decided to broadcast you on the waves. You're now famous throughout the wasteland and people's initial reaction is raised. But beware fame has also its drawbacks, even more in this harsh world.Submitted by: Julien Jourden
|Puppet Master
You have a special little friend, your hand puppet who has followed you through thick and thin, and always has an opinion about things. (Gain an extra dialouge option)Submitted by: Lasse Petersen
|Roboboy/Master Mechanics
You became very creative with Wasteland's materials. You are now at a point that you can even make a robot up with A.I. once gathered proper materials! According to your skill rates, you can develop its skills for whatever you want it to be capable of.Submitted by: KIVILCIM GÜNBATTI

Tobe a thorough farmer and to be able to manage the business of fanning in ths beat manner, an acquaintance with most of tbe natural and chemical sciences is not ooly desirable, bot indispensable.
