Rototilling, installing a sprinkler system, mowing the lawn, feeling energised by the sun…these are a few of my favorite things during the summer months we get.
Just desired to share a few things that make my life enjoyable and super easy this season. Hope you like these - let me know!
Gardens
What would you do with 10 tiller choices… Huge tillers can be heavy and hard to maneuver so choose a tiller that matches your strength. You can buy cultivators anywhere today. In stores or online.

Need Energy?
Ok - this doesn’t look like it belongs, does it? This is really a comfortable opportunity because it’s different. I am a MLM hater…a skeptic. But this one turned me around and I’m energized! This energy drink was something I had to try before I would buy…and let me tell you, the experience was exhilerating. Family had decaffeinated energy drinks and were full of energy for at least 8 hours. The energy drink by efusjon only has 40 or 60 calories. Learn and earn with the efusjon ‘a’ team at startup4less.com. They are growing fast and willing to help and teach you regularly. It’s not too late - in fact, this is a new company and organization. Lot’s of inherent opportunity here right now. Make money soon… Ha!

Alright! Hope this aided you.
The format and difficulty of computer certification exams is constantly changing. When I took my first certification exam (Novell NetWare 3.1x CNA, January 1997), there was no such thing as a simulator question, and my practical skills really were not tested. The exams then were much heavier on memorization.
One factor that helped make up for that was that the Novell exams were adaptive. If you missed a question on a particular topic, you would continue to be asked questions about that topic until you got it right. You couldn’t afford to be weak in any topic, because the exam would most likely find that out and keep hitting you with questions on that topic until you failed.
Adding to the stress, after a certain number of questions your exam could end at any time. You had no idea how many questions you would get, just that you would get at least 15. Every time you hit the “next” button after question 15, you didn’t know if you’d get another question or if the exam would suddenly end and give you a pass or fail response.
Times have changed. Cisco has led the way in introducing simulator questions to their exams, where the candidate is presented with a simulation of a router or network and asked to perform tasks that someone who is ready to earn that certification should be able to perform. This is a much better test of competency than the exams were eight years ago.
What will be the next “big jump” in computer certification exams? To earn the world’s most difficult technical certification, the CCIE, the candidate must first pass a rigorous 100-question qualification exam, and must then pass a practical lab exam. The candidate is presented with an exacting set of network requirements and must build that network on a pod of Cisco routers and switches in less than eight hours.
This is just personal opinion and not “insider information”, but I believe the day will come when the CCNA, CCNP, and other Cisco certifications will require some kind of hands-on practical lab to earn the certification. What better way to test competency than to have to perform tasks on real Cisco equipment? There would be more overhead for Cisco with this kind of testing, since lab equipment and lab proctors would be needed, but the already-prized CCNA and CCNP would become that much more valuable in the workplace if employers knew that to earn that certification, the job candidate had to pass a hands-on exam.
This would benefit the candidates as well, since it would do an even better job in protecting their investment in time and money. This could also be the next step in ferretting out candidates who try to get past the CCNA and CCNP exams via braindumps. As I always tell my students and customers, when you’re standing in front of that router or switch, there is no multiple choice … you either know it or you don’t!
