Sweep Update with Bear Rage extra

He is back home thank god!!!

We're rascals, scoundrels, villains and knaves, drink up me 'arites, Yo Ho, We're devils and blacksheep, we're really bad eggs, drink up me 'arites, Yo Ho, Yo Ho, Yo Ho, A Pirate's Life for Me.

Mu bear, the bear that likes to kill or convert all the other toys till all is for Allah!!!!

Well my small dog is recovering very slowly, he is now back home and upon arrival looked very sorry for himself with his massive head tilt, failure to pee and inability to drink properly

Today one day on he has peed his little heart out, been able to stand (almost without a stumble) to do so, drank with out aid and his head tilt is still pronounced, but getting every so slowly better, thank god

so very relieved to have him home, so very glad he is getting better every day before my very eye's now

roll on to 100% health for him.

Advert for ITQ! Yes I am to be famous, well only a small fame, and only by virtue of a small ad stating my name and how good I found the ITQ course to be, however I am very proud of this small monument and will finally see my name in something worthwhile promoting something worthwhile

here is the quote being used and the Advert as it will read

“I have gained confidence in myself and my ability to use IT,” says recent ITQ student Michael Hearn. “I now feel empowered to study more related topics.”Registered disabled, he embarked on the ITQ course as a step towards getting back into the jobs market. “I was very impressed with the course, and it has inspired me to go on learning. I am now working on Open University courses in maths and languages, with a view to becoming a teacher.” He is already using his new computer skills for correspondence – and also runs his own website. He recommends the ITQ programme “because the staff are lovely and the course is great!”

I am very proud.


Bear Rage, well we have had Pope rage, Cartoon rage, so why not Bear rage, it only makes sense that a country in which Islamic forces ethnically cleansed and or raped 200- 400,000 predominantly Black Christian people a white middle class non Muslim woman allowing a bear to be called Muhammad gets the Islamic population in a rage, this clearly shows Islam for what it is, outdated, violent, and not needed in 2007 or at the very least in need of reform, except as it is a fascist totalitarian dictatorship of a desert death cult that reform will never happen sadly

how very tragic for the west to have such a thing exist alongside us all, but I hold out hope it will be beaten into submission and soon.

December for result

My family coat of arms, (though I do own a slightly different version of this above)

Well today I got my response from my tutor regards when my MU120 result will be with me, yes December, just in time for an early Christmas present, or a Christmas tragedy rivaling Tiny Tims demise

we shall see, optimism has unfortunately left me currently, but it may return eventually

Onwards and well somewhere, Tuesday heralds the College thing to wit I am still feeling honored

The Pause

Me tinkering with a CMX 450 Honda Rebel for a mate, truth be told I love mechanics still, but hey the back/legs/knee's are not happy doing anything like it

Yes this is the pause, the held breath before the plunge, the ending, the beginning

Yup it is that piece of time where nothing is happening, because on one hand everything I was doing has ended, but very soon new things will begin

And I am lost in the wait, I miss my I.T.Q. if only because I left the house to do something twice a week and had to mix with other people.

I am anxious to hear my final results re the Maths MU120 to see if I passed, I hope I did.

I am however happy with the German G.C.S.E. and hope it will bring great things, though I am again anxious that I will have to do 'proper' exams, including Speaking which I am not great at, (just ask my best mate and my show at the wedding as best man and the speech)

Under pressure I can, but I feel so ill prior

Anyway I also am about to start the Rundlicks German for the O.U., again anxious as the course is set out slightly different from MU120

Still what would life be without worry, what would it consist of without these 'pauses' to reflect and prepare.........I just hope I am up for the next level of the challenge as I wish to move on in life.

Onwards, eventually................

Stag in Tatton park which I visited recently, beautiful animals.

Well today brings forth conclusion on the I.T.Q. course with a definitive closure of the course paper work coupled with me signing off the very last piece of required work

one single last visit into the I.T. part of the college for an 'exit' workshop which will take place next Tuesday and it is all done, I have achieved the I.T.Q. and I am very pleased about it

Reckoning is within two to three months I should have my certification, a very pleasing moment I am certain.

ok next closure is the final T.M.A. (04) has been checked, reworked and is currently sat on my desk awaiting special delivery for submission to the tutor for a final mark, this is the second to last piece of the MU120 maths, over the weekend I aim to finalise the last C.M.A. 45 and that is then full closure of that course, I hope I have achieved what was needed, I shall post up as soon as I know

So two great things in one single day

update when C.M.A. is submitted online plus update of mark obtained for both the C.M.A. and T.M.A. as and when I know

Forum Headaches, T.M.A. submission and German

One of Two Badgers I saw whilst at a hide for watching them, simply brilliant creatures and I love them to bits, hence the photo.

It is all go, about two weeks and I abseil down that building

just sat here and hopefully finished my T.M.A. 04 (yup last one) to a degree that lets me pass M.U.120 FINALLY

got yet another 'last' I.T.Q. to complete tomorrow and also tomorrow is my second G.C.S.E.German and the first one last week was spot on, I remembered something at long last

And then onto my forum, what does one do when one is so completely sick to death of witnessing the demise of your land, people and culture to alien and left wing forces that it drains the soul from one

then have those who do not know tell you how it is according to the party line????!!! well for one thing its entrenched me to simply go ahead and join the Conservative party lock stock and barrel and if I can work my way through so I can change something within the framework of politics

thus begins a plan of action fermenting itself in my head even as I type and why not, if smiley toss pot Blair and fat useless turd Prescott plus non entity wishing he was Blair Brown can get into power it only takes the willingness and who knows

Maybe I can see England and Britain returned to the English and British respectively

anyway enough of it all, onwards and decidedly upwards

Nearly done I.T.Q. possibly..;-D

I should have a badge just like this sewn into my T-shirt

Well here I sit at college in the I.T.Q. suite and like all good super hero's I stand (well ok I'm sitting) cape wafting in the breeze (erm.......) and I in a deep heroic type of voice utter the monumental words......."MY WORK HERE IS DONE!!!!"

And it very very very nearly is just awaiting a 'professional talk' and honestly beyond getting a job as a cleaner of keyboards here I cannot see any more to be done.



Which in reality is good, I have achieved another 'thing' and tomorrow starts my German G.C.S.E which I have to devote this I.T.Q. part of my brain to.



So what for the future using I.T. skills, well I consider the educational path I am on as being somewhat one which will need I.T. as a standard, but how far should I take it? That is the question?



And one I will update as and when......................just like everything else I guess



*raises imaginary glass in salute at self achievement



This is all good and hopefully it will remain this way for a long time, Education..........it most definitely is a huge deal in life, I just cannot shake the question out of my head "why did I not do this before?"



But as the believer in 'fate' I was clearly not meant to. And we will leave it there for now.

The very last I.T.Q. ever, ever well till the next one

Latest visitor to My Garden, Welcome a very small but extremely cute Hedgehog currently known as Harriot.

Ok yes today of all days was suppose to be the very last I.T.Q. however slight glitch in so far as the 'project part' being that there was four small minor things that required fixing as to meet the as of yet unquantified standard that is being set by erm, well MY work inclusive of MY project


Seemingly I am setting the standard as the staff have never marked one before and as such I think considering they keep holding it up to others to see they are setting a very very high standard indeed

Fortunately in an hour and a half (they assumed four) I 'fixed' all the minor things and now have a fully 'fulfilling their criteria to the letter' Project

And hopefully the very next I.T.Q. will be the honest to goodness last one ever, IF not I guess the next one will be.


Other news, Today arrived my O.U. German course materials

Looks fun

updates as and when, next on the list is my submission of the next and final T.M.A. 04, soon to be followed by the final C.M.A. 45 and that my friends is my MU120 complete (I hope) next Feb for MST 121

Tommorow, it arrived

Start Point Lighthouse
which was worth the visit

Me just catching a breather on the way to Start Point Lighthouse, it was a beautiful day out

And lo said the highest of the high, it is good and it was............................


Seriously all is sweet, the blues are past me, the memories of those gone now sated for another year, I step boldly forward and I'm ready for the next chapter of My life


and so here is the update so far

1) Attended Tutorial for Maths now head fully round the things I found hard, I am rolling baby yeah.

2) Second to last I.T.Q. today, all results brilliant and I am just now await my project assessment and we are done, finite, now sit and wait a few months for the cert which I have earned.

3) Not long now till the German G.C.S.E. I can not wait to start using Ich verstehe nicht till the exam....;-D


Anyway the bold move forward and so I am slowly returning to my former self (mentally at least) thus it is no shock that I will be throwing myself with rope off a 120 foot building in the name of charity, abseiling for charity, I could think of nothing else I would have doctors telling me I should not be doing

No fear, except maybe there is just a little, which just equates to me feeling so alive again

Update done, next one as an when C.M.A. 44 due in on the 13th

Next Tutorial for Maths is the 19th

oh yeah positive a go go

Holiday

Me on top of the world, at least On top of Tintagel, took forever to get up there, but my middle name is now Determination and thus was it I made it

Tintagel

St Michael's Mount

The Lighthouse at The Lizard

Self Explanatory, Lands End, so sweet to have made it to this point!

Brixham Harbour, Simply stunning.

Well there you go just a few of the pictures taken (5.6 gb's in total) whilst I was away, to say Devon and Cornwall are brilliant is the biggest understatement of all time

My heart Lies in Sussex, my being/soul however Lies across Devon and Cornwall such is the impact these two magnificent counties have upon me

Even sat here now back home I feel the pull in my gut that questions why I returned to Hertfordshire.

Anyway onwards, I have but a few days to submit my next T.M.A. and have nothing as of yet on paper, I shall attempt to change that situation very shortly beginning Monday I think.

Also my latest certificate arrived and I shall get a shot of that up soon as well

Must also catch up after missing two sessions of the ITQ because of my holiday

as such I must rest this weekend then return to normal non holiday life a.s.a.p. as that is what is required

Ok well onwards etc, next update as and when

Last German and I.T.Q. rolling onwards

Angelic to the last

Well! last German Intermediate today and it was fun with a few refreshers of what we had covered over the last ten weeks plus a little Lemonade and snacks to finish off the last lesson

again brilliantly taught and I look forward to the G.C.S.E. now even more.

Next Certificate will be in the post I am assured

Onwards to the I.T.Q. received my mark for Spreadsheets and I did brilliantly, add in I was also marked excellently for generally computer ability and all is looking great.

Nearly completed the Database component now and in reality three weeks maybe four and I will achieve full completion and another certificate will be on its way

onwards then to full submersing myself into the Maths, which i now hope to be able to give much more attention .

all is sweet in my world then, till the next milestone.............

ITQ project

A 'Enhanced' shot of
Hitchin church clock tower,
yes I got bored and played with adobe, but it is a nice effect all the same

Well spent the last 6 hours finishing off the Project part of the I.T.Q. course

Thankfully it is now done, I am preparing to now complete the last of the components and then coupled with this Database Project completion I should within two to three weeks Finish and just await a certificate to arrive through the door (fingers crossed)

Been interesting to discover the multiple functions of Word, Spreadsheets and Databases and I will not be without a small amount of sorrow for suddenly having nothing allocated for the hours of 3-5 Tuesday and Thursday every week

But I guess that is nearly that and I will have plenty of other topics to devote my time to coming up in October

Other news is it is but one day away from the very last Intermediate German course again quite a loss really, but to be replaced by the G.C.S.E. plus the start of the O.U. languages course

My Garden Project is still on hold however I did manage to 'harvest' the grand total of two ripened strawberries the other day, and honestly they were scrummy, just hope more are to follow.




All else is good then, updates as and when then.

Databases and peckers of wood

The most elusive of all woodpeckers finally captured for all times sake by me and my camera and honestly I have been after this shot for over a year

Well here we are finally at the start of DATABASES for the I.T.Q. so far today despite feeling actually quite ill I managed 53 of the required 170+ pages of the Database Book, honestly its ok so far but I would assume it must get more difficult as we progress through the book

Thats it another progression diary to sit on my side, but its the third and final part (excluding the 'project')

Other updates include the Garden project being fully on hold now till after a small holiday for myself and of course a more stabilized pattern of weather, however I have managed to set out some nice plants and fruits and bushes ready of course for proper positioning when all is finished

But truthfully it is looking all rather nice

O.k. thats it for today I am still feeling out of sorts so must head to bed

T.M.A. 02 result in finally

Baby Swan, just because...........................

Sky over Sussex

Sundown in Sussex

Well it was not the highest mark ever attained I dare say, but I was more than happy with it

75%, and given I was not that confident over this T.M.A. genuinely I am just pleased to have passed it

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Latest on the I.T.Q. well today I did my Mock, and onwards now to the Assignment to complete the Spreadsheet component

Then just Databases to do and I'm finished, maybe then across to do the E.C.D.L., maybe not, who knows yet?

So near to finishing the Spreadsheets

Latest addition to the visitors list for my garden include Brand New Fresh Out the Box BABY BLUETITS and they are great.

Yup been a busy boy, and am but four pages away from completion of the Spreadsheets part of I.T.Q.

Which is great news as it leaves me just Databases and I have completed the minimum, though if I can I shall endeavour to complete all the components.

Still no news on the Maths T.M.A. though having checked the Diary I can confirm that today was last day to submit, so reality was I submitted well before time and hopefully will hear back soon enough.

Already currently 90% through the next C.M.A. for submission, just got to double check all answers and that will be away too, leaving me free then till the next T.M.A. due for August, so more than enough time to devote to that.

Onwards and upwards yet again


Other news is another fence panel was erected today for the Garden Project, mainly due to some reasonable weather for today, it is not looking that bad thankfully

Next Update as and when I hear something

ITQ a go go

YES!!!! Today was the Induction to ITQ which basically is another version of the E.C.D.L.

And yes I have signed up

Odd I could have gone straight for Email and Internet as the two chosen modules and thus passed without worry, as word is pretty much in my brain period

However I chose the slightly more difficult route for me, that being databases and spreadsheets neither I have tackled or attempted to learn before, so should be fun

And should be a challenge given all else currently filling my brain I consider taking on these two as quite daring for me with my 'problems' for want of a better word

but positive thinking, I can and I will succeed with this, another certificate hopefully to be gained

And so IT comes into play

I.T. that is


and yes another course is on offer, this time it is a I.T.Q. Qualification at level 2


all sounds impressive, and i think this is the new course incorporating the E.C.D.L. plus other bits that the industry itself have come up with a standard test

i have a taster this Tuesday (thankfully the German has ended for a few weeks now) and will see where it goes from there

oh and its free..........and i sincerely like free
