When You Enter A Palace, Ask To Visit Their" Props" Room

Dancing online: how to use visual chats for more effective online dating - craig gazed at susan sipping her latte. He had met her in a grocery store checkout line, and they' d immediately hit it off. so well, in fact that he' d suggested a" get acquainted" date at Starbucks. "I' m really glad you came, " he said, "I brought something that will help you get to know me better. " He removed his resume from its manila folder and handed it to her. She looked back with curious expectation.

It was packed with information about himself: his height, eye color, weight, level of education, future goals, career choice, hobbies, and likes and, sports dislikes in movies and music. - craig read it over quickly and compared it with his own. It sported an 8 x 10 glossy of himself leaning against his new Tundra. "Oh, this looks good! " she said and handed him hers. Yes, they seemed to be compatible in almost every way. What do you think? He glanced up at her. "Well this looks really good. Should we start dating? " She nodded.

PEOPLE DON' T DATE PAPER. - it looked like a very promising relationship. If this scenario doesn' t sound silly to you it does to me. So, why should it be any different when you' re searching for a mate online? Whoever heard of a real life relationship( except employment) beginning with people handing each other resumes? Why would it be any more effective in cyberspace to judge a person from a piece of paper, no matter how thorough the description of that person might be? If someone likes your profile they contact you if they think you' re compatible( and vice versa, of course) .

The traditional approach to online dating does exactly that: you post your picture and profile on a dating site, and search other profiles. - the essential element. Even a short written blurb doesn' t do it. The trouble is that even if we are really good at presenting ourselves in writing, we generally can' t get across one essential element, and that is OURSELVES. And that can make online dating a frustrating experience. Why? Usually we get very few" bites" , and the ones we do get are usually just not right.

Because a piece of paper just isn' t the real you, it' s something ABOUT you. - the person that is looking for you, may never come, the real you your way. You, your personality, that is, usually doesn' t come across. YOU WILL SEE A STRANGER... ACROSS A CROWDED ROOM. You ask around. In the real world, you may walk into a room, whether it' s a bar, a classroom, a dance floor, or a church fellowship hall and... see her/ him across the room. Does anybody know her?

Or you just walk up to her and introduce yourself, buy her a, shake her hand drink, and get her email address or telephone number. - can somebody introduce you? This is what works. Chatting allows you to begin talking with someone online in your own personal style. YOU NEED TO SEE THEM. The person you are chatting with immediately gets a feel for your personality.

Enter the two dimensional( and lately, the three dimensional chat) , which greatly increases your chance of actually getting to know somebody, and having them get to know you. - i' ve been chatting for some time now, yahoo chat, with msn chat, and icq, and have made a few friends online, but the trouble with these traditional chats is that you can' t actually see and interact with other people the way you would in real life. (some might argue about the cam, but that' s the subject of another article) . GETTING TO KNOW YOU - - THE VISUAL CHATROOM. The visual chat I am most familiar with is The Palace, http: //www. thepalace. com. Visual chatting has been around since 1999, but has never been fully utilized as an online dating tool. The Palace is actually a potentially infinite collection of" palaces" : online chat rooms set up on hosting servers by computer savvy members. The theme of the palace is usually consistent with the interests of the owner.

These" palaces" consist of a main entrance gate and many" rooms" , comprised of living rooms with fireplaces, bedrooms, outdoor scenes, dining rooms, etc and etc. - many are adult - only and may not be areas you wish to enter. You may choose to read either brief or long descriptions. A directory of palaces is located at the palace. com site. I recommend reading the full description before entering a palace. INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE.

With the palace software installed, you can click on the link found in the directory and find yourself in any palace you choose. - in order to install the software, click on the palace link, fill out the registration information, download and run it. When you run the software after installation, you will be given a default" avatar" . A unique identification number will be assigned to you. Your first avatar is a yellow" Happy Face" and your default identity will be" New Friend" . Think of a positive sounding name that describes who you are.

You' ll want to give yourself a new name. - when you enter a palace, ask to visit their" props" room. Try to pick one that looks as much like you as possible( or, at least, what you would like to look like) . There you can find an avatar that most suits you. DANCING ONLINE. You have entered a new world, where you just might find the special person you' ve been looking for. Be ready to have fun!

Soon, even though you may be 3000 miles apart, you can still" sit together" or actually" dance" with them online. - real life. From The Palace, it' s just one step to Yahoo Messenger, and, cam, if things work out.

QoS Is Covered In A 5 Day Cisco Class Or In Any Bootcamp

Make your voice heard - make your voice heard. by vik malhi. The CCIE Voice track has almost caught up with the Service Provider track in terms of numbers qualified, despite the latter being available for a much longer period of time.

Unless you' ve been stuck on Mars for the past couple of years, you' re probably already well aware of the fact that most of the buzz words projected out of jubilant salesmen' s( and saleswomen' s! !) mouths around Cisco canteens invariably have something to do with voice. - but gaining a voice certification doesn' t always have to mean ie. Whether you use it as a stepping stone towards attaining your IE or merely as a measure of consolidating your skill set, it certainly has proved to be as popular and valuable to a great number of engineers - just look at the comments received on the various Discussion forums, such as the Cisco Netpro Forum. Have you considered its little sister, namely the CCVP? The questions one typically asks before embarking on the pursuit of a CCVP go along the lines of... "So is it worth the effort? does it enhance job prospects? what does it entail? how much experience in Cisco' s voice technologies do I need? how much Routing and Switching knowledge do I need? etc, etc... " Whether you like it or not, right now and probably for the next 3 - 5 years, convergence is hot. So having a CCVP under your belt is most definitely worth the paper it' s printed on and then some.

Not only inside the US, where technology used for carrying voice over a packetized network is at its most mature, but across the globe. - whether job prospects are enhanced by having a ccvp is a more difficult issue to tackle - it certainly helps getting you to the interview, but ultimately the rest is down to you. Why should you bother with the CCVP when you can go straight to CCIE Voice? One thing in your favor however is that companies pursuing the Cisco" Unified Communications Specialization partnership" program require a number of engineers holding a CCVP on their books. It depends on your experience and certainly there are at least 80 - 90 CCIE Voice engineers who passed the CCIE Voice lab exam without acquiring the CCVP. It would be impossible to pass the Voice lab without first becoming comfortable with the concepts covered in the VP material so that begs the question - why wouldn' t you start with the VP?

These figures are not based upon published statistics but simple mathematics - the IE Voice track was released in September' 03 whereas the VP debuted in February' 0However the VP, now that it does exist, is very much worthy as a preparation tool for the IE, as well as a qualification in its own right. - as with anything, nothing can substitute real world experience, so every minute working on call manager, qos, gateways, gatekeepers and catalyst switches, which make up the core components tested on the ccvp exams, helps. Whereas the CCNA/ CCDA most definitely have tangible benefits when certifying on the CCNP or CCDA, the CCNA is only a pre - requisite for the VP because, er... ., there isn' t a CCVA! The official pre - requisite is having a valid CCNA certification, but don' t be fooled - there is virtually no knowledge of routing and switching protocols required to pass the exams, although it does help in tying everything together when looking at the big picture. When it comes to teaching the CCVP bootcamp this makes life very difficult because there is absolutely no knowledge of voice required whatsoever. Cisco Voice over IP( CVOICE) Cisco IP Telephony( CIPT) Implementing Gateways and Gatekeepers( GWGK) Quality of Service( QOS) IP Telephony and Troubleshooting( IPTT) Lets start with CVOICE.

In total there are five exams that need to be cleared before attaining the VP. - earlier releases of this exam dealt with vofr and voatm, as well as voip. This is the first part of the magic quintet you should deal with and provides a good introduction and grounding for the more glorified exams that follow. Thankfully Cisco changed their minds and restricted the tested technologies to VoIP. In my own view, I would propose that CVOICE should be one half of the CCVA( the other half being the ICND exam that is required for the CCNA) . There' s two methods of training for this exam - (1) the official Cisco authorized training constituting of the self - study Cisco Voice Fundamentals( CVF) and the 4 day classroom - based CVOICE. (2) A CCVP bootcamp which is not authorized by Cisco but does" cram" much of the same information.

Let' s wait and see! - after cvoice, the next hurdle is the cipt exam. It' s so difficult that Cisco decided to split the material covered into two separate classes - CIPT1( 5 days in the class - room) and CIPT2( 3 days in the class - room) . This is probably the toughest exam out of the five. In doing so they forgot to split the exam in two halves, hence you are presented with one pretty tough exam. Well, real - world experience really does help you get thru this exam.

How many times have you heard people say" ...real world experience really does help get you thru this exam... " and end up in the testing center answering a load of questions which do not pertain to any real - world situation? - no, really it does! The reason is that the primary focus of the test is Call Manager, which so happens to be the call processing element of any Unified Communications solution. Of the five, the CIPT test is probably the most important in its application to the real world. Let' s put it another way - Call Manager is the brain of the IP Telephony network. In fact, they are totally dependant on Call Manager. Your Skinny IP Phones, Quality of Service, MGCP gateways, IPCC Express and Unity servers are fairly reliant on Call Manager.

Again, you have 8 days of official Cisco training or material covered in bootcamp format. - there' s a whole new dialog that you will come across - call manager groups, device pools, regions, locations, inter - cluster trunks, partitions, calling search spaces, route plans, bat, cdr, bars and a whole lot more. Whatever means you choose, hands - on lab exercises is vital for this class. And the neat thing is, as well as being useful for the CIPT test, they are the building blocks of engineering any Cisco IPT network in the real world. Along with CIPT, GWGK provides the real business end of the CCVP cert in that it is very useful in your day to day activities and also for your CCIE prep. Next up is GWGK.

Have you read the Cisco Press" Implementing Gateway Gatekeeper" book? - that is precisely the big challenge with this test in that it is the newest exam( all the other tests existed before the conception of the ccvp) and there isn' t much out there in terms of useful reading literature away from cco. I' m guessing the answer to this question is an emphatic" No" , mainly because there isn' t one out yet! You data guys might like this class too! The good news with the GWGK class( 5 days with Cisco training or bootcamp) is that it is by and large IOS - based. CIPT is heavily focused on the Call Manager Administration GUI - you might get fed up of pointing and clicking in Windows by the end of the CIPT class, so don' t say you haven' t been warned! .

Hence you don' t need to stray too far away from your beloved router. - that is not to say you' re going to spend all your time configuring ospf, rip, eigrp, etc... no, there' s a whole new world that exists on a cisco router that you knew nothing about. Which, is now renamed, by the way gateway or gatekeeper. If the data guys didn' t like GWGK they are sure to love QoS, the next logical step in the Fibonacci sequence. Not only that, you can also learn about how you can bring down Serialization delay so voice packets don' t need to queue up for very long before being transmitted. The reason is that you spend most, your time configuring, if not all and learning about class - maps, policy - maps and the things you can do inside WAN interfaces to prioritize beautiful Cinderella - like voice packets ahead of the ugly cumbersome data packets.

And if that wasn' t enough, you can finally work out what the" wrr - queue" command does on a Catalyst switch and what the hell" 2q2t" queues are. - how applicable is it in the real world? In all seriousness, the QoS class/ test is extremely useful not only for the CCVP certification but for a number of other Cisco Certifications. I' m not going to say it isn' t at all because it' s definitely better to understand all the various commands that show up on configurations, but AutoQos makes life in the real - world an awful lot easier( AutoQos being a macro that implements all the QoS you need with two or three commands) . Beware, they also choose to throw in a little BGP which is interesting to say the least. QoS is covered in a 5 day Cisco class or in any bootcamp.

Did you know you can classify packets based on BGBP community lists and AS paths? - qppb) . Well, you can using the QoS Policy Propagation via BGP feature( a. k. a. Another interesting point to note on the QoS exam is the number of simlets and simulations that the candidate is required to negotiate. This makes it, from a personal perspective, and if there, the best is such a thing, the most enjoyable exam. Of all the exams that comprise the CCVP, the QoS exam tests the candidate' s ability to apply knowledge gained more than any other test.

Once you' ve passed the CVOICE, CIPT and QOS exams, congratulations are in order. - the final bridge to cross is the iptt exam. No you haven' t got your CCVP yet, but you have now qualified as a" Cisco IP Communications Support Specialist" which is a nice bonus to pick up along the way to your VP and also useful for partner specialization programs. Troubleshooting always sounds interesting, as if you are on the brink of learning some ground - breaking skill that' s been missing your entire life. Troubleshooting methodology is a very difficult skill to learn in a classroom - the best troubleshooters in a particular technology invariably have the most experience troubleshooting that technology. Well, if that' s what you' re expecting you might be bitterly disappointed.

At first glance that may not be such a radical statement to make, however the knock - on affect makes one wonder what the point of the IPTT exam is? - let me explain why. And that would be a very good question. When sitting the QoS class, a large part of any lab exercise demands that the candidate uses the appropriate" debug" and" show" commands in order to fully appreciate and verify the particular QoS technique in operation. In the CIPT class, CIPT2 focuses largely on the Internal Server Tools that aid troubleshooting Call Manager. When performing lab exercises in the GWGK class, you will also need to be able to perform the appropriate verification. In other words, the IPTT class is a culmination of all the other classes with one little exception, namely Unity.

We end up with the interesting prospect of not needing to know anything about designing or supporting Unity for the CCVP certification, but candidates are expected to know how to troubleshoot Unity. - for some reason, probably because the people responsible for writing the iptt course content decided that all the content was already covered, decided to throw in troubleshooting unity into the mix. Puzzled? What we end up with is a mix of all the other tests and some intricate details on Cisco Unity. You' re not the only one. It' s quite an easy exam if the candidate has passed all the other exams in the not - so - distant past and has the Cisco Unity Systems Engineer( CUSE) certification.

IPTT should be the last exam any CCVP candidate attempts and training constitutes a 5 day Cisco official class or the final chapter of a CCVP bootcamp. - it' s still quite easy if you' re comfortable with everything apart from the unity sections, but the iptt exam gets quite difficult if you' ve forgotten the content of the other parts of the ccvp cert. So what are you waiting for? Vik Malhi, CCIE# 13890 Voice, Cisco IP Telephony, CCVP Support Specialist, Cisco IP Telephony Operations Specialist, Cisco IP Telephony Design Specialist and Cisco Wireless LAN Design Specialist. Go ahead and make your voice heard!

They are usually just random facts about the web site owner. - they are looking for sites that contain a generous amount of information on a certain topic. It would be difficult for Google' s technology to display targeted ads on these kinds of pages. It could be anything from golfing tips to hair care techniques. Is your site organized? Just make sure there is an obvious theme with original content.

Be sure your site has a neat and clean navigation that' s easy to follow. - keep the colors to a minimum and make sure each page has a consistent layout. Also ensure all the links work and that there are no typos. How many pages are on your site? Again, it' s not likely a two - page site will get accepted. Even though Google doesn' t specify a page number requirement, they are obviously looking for web sites with a decent amount of content. Try to strive for at least 20 pages.

Don' t just submit a web site with a bunch of links to other sites. - is your content solid? Be sure you have enough original content of your own to make your site unique. Be sure to read the program policy and procedures carefully and make sure your site hasn' t violated any of the terms.

This Is Not The Case With Auto Insurance Companies

Business.

Confused by auto insurance companies? - almost everyone needs to know about auto insurance companies. Even if you live in the city and have no need for a car, you may find that one day you move from the city and suddenly, a car is a necessity. Even if you don' t drive right now, you may one day find that you need to.

Though there are some that go through life without driving, you know that almost every does so. - you may notice that auto insurance companies have a lot of advertisements on television, and you may also notice that they are vastly different in appeal and target audience. This is why there is such stiff competition out there for insurance. Some products have a simple audience they know they must reach. This is not the case with auto insurance companies. Almost any product has an age and gender group they target and they place their ads accordingly. They have to target everyone.

They have to appeal to every age group and gender, and that means a huge number of different ad campaigns. - this is why the ads are so diverse and are on at all times of the day. Because there are so many ads out there by auto insurance companies, it can be easy to get confused. Truthfully, there is no right answer to that question. Who really is the best? You want to save money, but your location, everyone does, automobile, and your driving record all play a part in how much you pay. Auto insurance companies can' t promise you the best deal because each individual will have a different story when it comes to what they need and how much it will cost them.

You also pay more for full coverage. - there are some auto insurance companies that offer to compare prices for you. They can say they are giving the quote from other companies, but how many of these quotes are accurate? It sounds good in theory, but I' m not sure I' m buying it. I know that one of the auto insurance companies give you four quotes from other companies. The best way to get the best price is with old - fashioned hard work.

The problem with this is that there are so many companies out there that it is impossible to know if they have selected the highest quotes and left off the ones that might truly save you money. - you have to check it out for yourself.
