If you're an old soul you will undoubtedly be giving, caring loving and compassionate – all wonderful attributes that we are taught are the signs of a developed person who cares for others, and the actions that we take that may affect others.
The key signs of an old soul
· Giving and caring often putting others first
· Had a difficult romantic life often with much pain and disappointment
· More than likely had a soulmate relationship
· Things just seem to happen to you and around you, often becoming very dramatic through the seemingly extreme reactions of others
· Events repeat themselves
· Have trouble connecting with your family
· Somehow know you're different
· Have some psychic intuition and 'just knowing' things
· Find that you have deeper emotions and passions than most people
· People have extreme reactions to you – some just adore you and some seem to really dislike you yet you behave the same to everyone
· Have an inner creative passion
· Suffer lots of jealousy from others
· Often perceived wrongly
· Feel your don't have much free will, like your life is being controlled by some outside force
· Often feel 'stuck' like events just keep on happening to you time after time
All of us can relate to some of these characteristics and events at some time in our lives however the 'old souls' amongst us will shout "Yes that's me !"
and immediately understand and relate.
In contrast, we have all met the 'young souls' the ones who profess to be giving and caring and often seem to seek us out, but who never really give, just take, and who then commit the most insensitive and often cruel acts but seem to have no understanding of what they've done or any sign of remorse whatsoever. In fact they can often go to such extremes to get very aggressive when we point out their actions and the effect that they've had on us..
Soul Age
The terms 'old soul' and 'young soul' aren't just descriptions of personality types but do give us a meaningful clue to why we find ourselves in this life cycle…
The journey of the soul through many lives is one of growth and learning from the earliest manifestation of that soul in human form – where it's focused on material things, power, ego and the "now", eventually through to the higher levels of compassion, truth, destiny, caring and fairness in later lives as old souls.
The soul is required to visit human form many times in order to learn these lessons. It is through interaction with others on the three dimensional plane that the soul accrues karma, the results of its actions on others and paying the price of those actions ( first rule of karma "what goes around comes around" – or what I often refer to as the 'karmic boomerang') that develops, hones, and tunes the spirit into the higher levels, eventually becoming attuned to the highest level of as 'old soul' in later lives.
Part of that developing process is to become infinitely more empathic, attuned to the universe and destiny, and for our intuition to develop more towards psychic powers. At this stage we sense that destiny plays a greater part in our lives that we could previously have imagined as we 'peek behind the scenes' of the universal mechanisms through our developing intuition.
This itself is also a challenge as we watch those less enlightened who are still contained in the "I know best" mode, mess up their lives going wandering down the wrong path. Typical of this is the soulmate where we are tasked to watch them wander off knowing somehow that the tests they will face will ultimately bring them back around, older, wiser and more spiritually aware.
It's important to understand that each time our soul revisits the earthly plane, that we play 'catch-up', developing through our earthly actions and learning experiences quickly to regain that level of spiritual awareness we attained when leaving the previous life. In other words, in entering this life we are initially unconscious of the fact that we are required to have a very testing life to 'fast track' us to the spiritual level we are meant to be at in this one.
So the older the soul, the harder and more testing the early events in order to make us reach inside and spiritually open to regain previously achieved levels of spirituality and to further develop..
'Soul age' with Soulmates
I've already mentioned that we have all had to deal with the 'young souls', the ones who seem sent to test us and can often leave us feeling dazed and confused and hurt.
At this point I have to highlight something that's particularly important and relevant to soulmates. Your soulmate is unlikely to be a young soul even though their actions to-date may fit what we've described as a young soul.
We get terribly confused when we sense they are loving and caring and deep and spiritually enlightened yet they frequently behave in the totally opposite way
The important difference between a soulmate and a young soul is that the universe does not connect young souls with old souls in soulmate connections. What your soulmate is most likely going through is the life tests on that "fast track" , i.e learning fast and developing to their real soul age through meeting all the tough tests and making all the mistakes, acting in that earthly controlled, ego based, "I know best" way.
Hence the duality of their existence and the confusion they cause within our lives. What you are sensing is that destiny. It's the butterfly sensing another butterfly but seeing a caterpillar….
This is the main reason soulmates have to part, in order that the less developed one catches up with their earthly experiences in order to fully awaken spiritually and be ready to reconnect with their real soul age from the past life and to reconnect with you to continue the journey at the same spiritual level…
Energy Vampires and Attack
Old souls will also be no strangers to people who try to cling to, or take or attack our energy. Often the more we give to people the more abuse we take. It's an extreme example of the "no good deed goes unpunished" rule.
Energy vampires are those who somehow spiritually sense our power and energy to come into our lives to using us as a crutch, often draining us through their need to explain their problems and us be the solution.
Frequently they will use our caring, giving nature to assist them with their lives, often becoming too close and draining and we don't seem to be able to find a way to tell them that this is something we aren't comfortable with and so we allow it to continue to an abusive level.
Most times the person clinging to us won't be aware of why they are doing this they just sense, feel that we have something they need that causes them to be drawn closer and closer.
This is because their spirit, their energy senses a more powerful energy. It's not on an ego awareness plane, we're not talking 'mind' stuff here we're talking spiritual energy which all of us sense even if we aren't realizing it. It's on the "there's something about him/her" level.
Some will migrate to that energy for healing and comfort, the 'karmic vampire', others will fall for the energy in a romantic way and become instantly attached, with others seeking us out as a focus for blame and negative attention ( karmic dumping ). When confronted with their actions, even in the most caring and compassionate of ways, aggression and blame are often the responses they visit upon us as they lash out…
Jealous bosses or co-workers, unwanted sexual attention, being 'picked out', blamed, the focus of attention when we don't want to be – all of these are classic symptoms.. Yes anyone will experience some of this in their daily lives but what we are talking here is something that happens to the old soul again and again at a frequency and intensity far above anything that can statistically be considered average..
Now you may think the word attack is rather strong and negativity and conflict are a common phenomenon of everyday human interaction, however any old soul will point out the frequency and veracity of their experiences- often amazing others when they hear the stories.
At this point I remember lots of incidents in my own life but the most profound moment was when I was confronted by someone who spat anger and bile at me proclaiming I'd done this and that and the other with dark motives.
The total shock was something I won't forget. Actually I hadn't done any of these things in fact I wasn't even in the country when they happened. However that didn't mean anything to this man – he set himself up as judge, jury and executioner and that utterly stunned me. It was only one of lots of incidences but is typical of an 'attack'.
On an energy level, this guy, to my definite first hand knowledge, cheated on his wife, was unfair in business, had a huge ego and had controlled and manipulated several people to his own ends. Nevertheless I had never taken it as my task to judge any of this, I just treated him like I treated anyone else. That was what caused the utter disbelief the astonishment that his 'reality' was 180 degrees from actual events.
Attacks from young souls who misinterpret our actions based upon their own narrow understandings are commonplace. In the example above, this guy had judged me based not upon his perception of me, my morals and motives – but from his own. He projected people's actions as having the same intent as his own and not realizing what he had done, had given me an insight into his own dark world by the veracity and ferociousness of his attack.
He could not perceive any of my actions as being honest, decent and caring and putting others first because he wasn't capable of acting from that place within himself. In addition, whatever anger, frustration and emotions this caused necessitated him exaggerating these false claims to a level so ludicrous that it lost all connection with reality.
In the end a quick chat with his lawyer resolved the problem because the lawyer simply told me the case was so ludicrous he couldn't take it seriously. However it was still very painful for me and really illustrates that in addition to giving love and light and understanding, we need to be prepared to defend ourselves against attach from a darker or afflicted soul – 'karmic dumping' as I call it.
This again is one of the spiritual karmic tests that every old soul has to face.
I always say that an old soul can walk into a room full of people and without even saying a word, three others will adore them and three hate them instantaneously.
All of the above cannot be avoided and are not as a result of our actions but of who we are on a spiritual level.
The importance of power.
As we grow and learn, parents' teachers, mentors, the media, religious teachings and other influences in our lives all teach us that being giving and kind and caring and turning the other cheek are vital to being a good human being. True of course..
So why do we more caring, more giving, more compassionate old souls often feel walked over by life ??
As in all things there is a duality. Look at nature – there's no cold without hot, no up without down, no dark without light. The yin and the yang, the interplay of opposing forces seeking balance.
Although conventional teaching is to keep pouring love and light and openness and giving into situations there is a point where we become depleted. There is a point where our love and compassion can cause us to give more than is healthy, to accept more than is our lot, and when we run out of cheeks to turn.
Herein lies one of the most important karmic lessons in that, we must seek balance. We must maintain our own personal power and not allow love, compassion and "thinking the best of people" to become voluntary abuse when that person or persons repays us with negativity.
Allowing this to happen encourages lowering self-esteem, feelings of abandonment, and a sense that destiny has left us behind when people are responding to us in a very negative way. For many of us this is a lesson that takes many years to learn.
Most of use will have experienced abuse of our energy in different situations from work, family and relatives, within friendships and especially in personal relationships.
We often give too much because we are giving people, and through that action diminish our personal power. Give love and light YES, pray for people YES, BUT I believe that it is essential for all of us to sometimes have to fight to protect the incredible value of our energy to realize it is a rare thing and to value it even when others don't.
In achieving balance we understand that giving love and light and having compassion and caring and understanding of people, especially those that are afflicted and confused by negativity is essential but is only one half of that balance. Love and light won't get your elephant off the tracks so sometimes we need to use our power in an assertive way.
The old soul experience comes with many such tests. This is not about giving less or giving to receive, it is to balance our giving and loving and caring with a total respect for the gold that is our own energy…In all things balance…

Monty Panesar would have been putting in extra fielding practice at Edgbaston this morning irrespective of the latest addition to his catalogue of howlers but will at least have gone to bed last night without a broadside from Liam Plunkett to haunt his dreams.
The Durham pace bowler is still young enough and optimistic enough about his Test career to forgive lapses by his team-mates, even when they are as embarrassing as the schoolboy error Panesar committed here yesterday.
The Northamptonshire left-arm spinner spilt the most routine of chances at mid-off. It would have sent Lasith Malinga back to the pavilion and left Sri Lanka on 84 for 9 with only Muttiah Muralitharan between Plunkett and a fifth wicket.
Plunkett had already suffered the frustration of seeing a slip catch snapped up by Andrew Flintoff from a no ball but at 21 clearly feels more possibilities await him.
"It would have been a great feeling to get a first five-for in a Test but I've not spoken to Monty about it.
"Monty does extra practice every day on his fielding and he works really hard. It was just one of those things. It was not to be today but, hopefully, there will be a chance in the future."
Should it be in this match it would greatly increase his chances of keeping his place once his Durham team-mate Steve Harmison is back in action but his confident demeanour suggests he is not worried unduly.
"I was a bit nervous at Lord's but here the nerves went fairly quickly, although it was a massive boost to get that first wicket.
"That wicket is important because it relaxes you and generally you go on to get a few more. It was one of those days when it went for me. I felt fairly loose before I bowled and it just came out in the right areas."
Wicketkeeper Kumar Sangakkara, Plunkett's third victim, said he was impressed by England's seam bowlers, but added that the Sri Lankans were disappointed with their performance. "England bowled well but we made them look more impressive," he said. "We may lack experience but there is enough quality and talent in our side to do much better than that."

Joe and Jerry (Castiglione and Trupiano) during yesterdays game talked about Damon's reception tonight. They both thought that he would initially be received with a round of applause, but after his first at bat he becomes a Yankee.
This IS the news story of the day, at least in Boston. Taking a quick run through the stories in each city:
NY times leads with this story about how Damon is helping to relieve tension in the clubhouse (Don't ask me for the details).
NY Times also has an interesting piece on Wake and catching him
NY Daily News leads with the sports page on Damon's return
Globe has this drivel from Shaughnessy, which starts out about the rivalry and turns to Johnny Damon, "center of the universe"
The Herald has this piece that's similar to the NYtimes piece (e.g. "The same old idiot") but is focused on his return
Finally, Yahoo didn't even let Passan take a crack, instead off loaded it to an AP writer. By the way, Passan writes about Kim Ng the assistant GM for the Dodgers. Kudos to Passan, the Ng story is WAY more interesting than the Damon drivel.
So, will Damon have a warm reception?

Is that a haiku? I am guessing that you are meaning a non-highlight about Damon?
I think it is interesting. Most guys get a warm welcome their first time back and then get heavily booed. Damon is a tough call. I want to see what happens.
I won't be at the game, and I won't have animosity toward anyone that does either of them. Boo away or cheer? Hell, your the ones paying the money. Do what you want.

Ok I had the truck looked at today for the vibration and found out what it is.
For starters the fuel gauge isn't off its the cat clogging up then when you stomp on it, it cleans out. Needs straight piped! As far as the vibration goes its the tailshaft for the over drive on the tranny. $200 fix the only thing that sucks is he said the trans will have to be pulled to fix it. So with that being said there is the 100% for sure problem and its not a big deal. Guy said the rest of the trans looks great and shifts great. It still has overdrive and shifting fine as of now. I'm not lowering my price because its still cheap as hell at $2500 best offer. So it needs a exhaust or the cat cut off and a $200 part and this truck is back up to 110% again. I just drove it 54 miles on the highway running 75 and it did just fine. So with that said throw some offers and someone can have a hell of a nice truck for cheap. |

Report: Georgia RB Isaiah Crowell arrested on two felony weapons charges
Georgia running back Isaiah Crowell, a Freshman All-America last season, was arrested early Friday morning on two felony weapons charges, reports the Ledger-Enquirer's Seth Emerson.
Crowell was arrested on charges of "carrying a weapon in a school zone, and having an altered ID mark," Emerson reports. Both of those charges are felonies.
Crowell was also jailed for possessing a concealed weapon, a misdemeanor.
Crowell was rated by many scouting services as a five-star recruit coming out of high school, and he was a key piece of a strong recruiting class for the Bulldogs. Rivals.com ranked Crowell as the fourth-best running back prospect in the nation.
He showed glimpses of greatness as a freshman, earning SEC Freshman of the Week four times. The Associated Press named him SEC Freshman of the Year after he rushed for 850 yards and five touchdowns. Crowell was twice suspended during the season, though, including a one-game suspension for testing positive for marijuana.

Waiting on Wednesday
SQT's can't wait to read selection is:
Stung by Bethany Wiggins
Publisher: Walkers Childrens
Date: April 2, 2013
Pages: 304
There is no cure for being stung.
Fiona doesn't remember going to sleep. But when she opens her eyes, she discovers her entire world has been altered—her house is abandoned and broken, and the entire neighborhood is barren and dead. Even stranger is the tattoo on her right hand—a black oval with five marks on either side—that she doesn't remember getting but somehow knows she must cover at any cost. She's right.
Those bearing the tattoo have turned into mindless, violent beasts that roam the streets and sewers, preying upon the unbranded while a select few live protected inside a fortress-like wall, their lives devoted to rebuilding society and killing all who bear the mark.
Now Fiona has awakened branded, alone—and on the wrong side of the wall.
I don't know if this is a children's book or not (though the name of the publisher would suggest it is at least YA) but this sounds great regardless of what genre it's published in. It's has mystery, suspense and a zombie-ish like predators. What isn't there to love?
Jim's can't wait to read selection is:
Fairest (vol 1)
Publisher: Vertigo
Date: November 27, 2012
Pages: 160
New York Times bestselling, award-winning creator Bill Willingham presents a new series starring the female FABLES. Balancing horror, humor and adventure in the FABLES tradition, FAIREST explores the secret histories of Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel, Cinderella, The Snow Queen, Thumbelina, Snow White, Rose Red and others.
The first 6-issue tale follows the misadventures of Briar Rose immediately after the events of FABLES #107(collected in Fables Volume 16: Super Team), in which she was stolen away by the goblin army. Following this first collection, Willingham will serve as a consultant on all story arcs and introduce new writers from other mediums to the FABLES mythos.
Since this it outside the normal Fables series (like Wolves of the Heartland) I thought I'd feature it for anyone who might otherwise miss it. I'll admit I wasn't particularly intrigued by the teaser/prequel which consisted of a few pages of story in Super Team, but I -am- interested in learning more about all the characters this series plans to feature (and Sleeping Beauty happens to be one of my favorites, so I'm hoping this first volume makes me rethink my first impression).

WASHINGTON -- The U.S. and Israel failed to heal their deepest dispute in decades as a two-day visit by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ended late Wednesday without resolving a rift over new Israeli housing planned in east Jerusalem.
American officials said last-minute talks between Netanyahu and U.S. Mideast peace envoy George Mitchell had not ended tensions over Israeli construction in the part of Jerusalem that Palestinians want to be a capital of a separate state.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the closed-door talks were confidential.
U.S. and Israeli officials told The Associated Press that the talks were aimed at getting Israeli-Palestinian peace talks back on track. Netanyahu had extended his stay by hours to work on a deal, but the talks ended at about 8 p.m. without any announcements, one official said.
The two sides had hoped to come up with mutually acceptable ideas to improve an atmosphere poisoned by announcements of the new Jewish housing projects. An Israeli official said Israel wants to see talks with the Palestinians resume quickly. The evening talks were intended to promote that goal, the official said.
Netanyahu twice pushed back his departure from Washington after talks with President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton failed to reach consensus on what Israel could do to repair damage caused by the housing announcements.
During Netanyahu's frosty visit, "the U.S. made clear it is looking for steps to increase confidence and show commitment to the process," said Mark Toner, the deputy State Department spokesman.
Earlier Wednesday, the Obama administration challenged Israel to explain yet another announced plan to expand Jewish housing in east Jerusalem, the same issue that soured U.S.-Israeli relations ahead of Netanyahu's three-day visit to Washington this week.
Palestinians claim east Jerusalem as the capital of a future independent state, and the United States sees continued Israeli building there as a provocation that makes peace negotiations harder.
Netanyahu offered no concessions during his visit on an earlier plan to build 1,600 homes for Jews in the disputed part of the city. Netanyahu's government has refused to back off steady expansion of Jewish neighborhoods in the majority Arab city section.
An aide to Netanyahu said the prime minister was caught off guard by the announcement Wednesday that the Jerusalem municipality has approved 20 new apartments for Jews.
Mitchell returned to the U.S. on Tuesday from talks with Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas on the West Bank, apparently without agreement on when the Palestinians would be willing to open a new round of U.S.-mediated talks.
U.S. officials said discussions about the peace talks continue, and Mitchell plans to return to the region after the Jewish Passover holidays, which begin next week.
In an exceptional step, no photographs of Netanyahu's meeting Tuesday with President Barack Obama at the White House were permitted, and neither side has provided a substantive account of the session.
Obama and Netanyahu initially conferred for about 90 minutes in the Oval Office, a half-hour longer than scheduled. After that meeting, Obama retired to the residence while Netanyahu stayed behind in the White House to consult with his staff in the Roosevelt Room, a White House official said.
Netanyahu then asked for a second meeting with Obama, who returned to the Oval Office for an additional 35 minutes of talks with the prime minister, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive diplomatic issue.
Although they met for a total of two hours, the White House did not issue a formal statement on what was discussed in either meeting.
"I think it comes as a great shock to you and me, but not everything the president does is for the cameras and for the press," said Robert Gibbs, the White House spokesman.
Gibbs would say only that the discussions were "honest and straightforward" and that Obama had urged Netanyahu to take a series of steps to build confidence in Israel's ability to take part in peace talks with the Palestinians. He would not elaborate about those steps.
Meanwhile, a White House spokesman, Tommy Vietor, said the White House continues to believe that Israeli construction in east Jerusalem is destructive to the Mideast peace process. He said the U.S. is asking for "clarification" of the latest building plan, and he urged both the Israelis and Palestinians to refrain from acts that could undermine trust.

Margaret and her then-husband, Walter, had begun selling these inconsolably sad portraits to the stars in the mid-60's. By that time, they had opened a gallery on North Beach and was becoming known for whipping up brightly-colored 'portraits of the stars', with work commisioned by Natalie Wood, Red Skelton, and countless others. Walter Keane was the business mind behind the gallery - in addition to his own (crude) paintings, he ran the gallery and printed up posters labelled 'Tomorrow's Masters', which were simply his and Margaret's paintings. At one point he began collaborating with Margaret, creating these pictures of massively-yghed urchins. The stars loved them; a craze began; soon, the 'Keane Eyes' paintings were everywhere.
Imitators sprang up like mushrooms after a warm April rain. Heartbreakingly sad orphans began appearing on black velvet all across the country. A man known as 'Gig' created a subgenre of animals with swollen orbs. 'Precious Moments' came a decade later, as the middle-aged nostalgia wave of late 60s and early 70s came on. Through it all, the Keanes made a mint.
In the 80s, they divorced, and Margaret Keane successfully sued her former husband for the money that was made on the sales from the Golden Years of the craze. In court, she claimed that she was the sole creator of the paintings, and backed it up by generating yet another heartstring-yanking waif before the jury's eyes. Walter Keane refused to do the same, citing injuries to his hands. Margaret Keane won the case. (It's believed that Walter, at most, 'finished' his ex-wife's paintings; you can't even call him a tracer.)
Today, you can find a Keane painting anywhere, especially in thrift stores. Thanks to links from the memepool, you can find and sell these big-eyed paintings to many small-eyed collectors the world over.
I had my own sources for this, but thanks to the memepoolian riotnrrd for reminding me of these sucker-of-Satan's-cock paintings.

☞ REVIVE: Meantime at 241 Lenox Avenue
The corner building at 241 Lenox Avenue has finally made progress in its restoration this past summer but the owner of one famous local shop on the ground floor may not be around to see the scaffolding go down in the future. Walking by this corner of West 122nd Street this past week, we noticed that all the facade brownstone restoration had been completed since the workers were last seen applying the scratch coat out front this past summer. The state of the interior is unclear but at least the exterior of the landmark brownstone in the Mount Morris Park Historic District has been saved at this point in time.
As far as Mike's Newsstand on the ground floor goes, we received a tip that the famous local kiosk passed out candy for the last time on Monday to local trick-or-treaters. Owner Mike Chappell has been running the stand in the past decade but old lore has it that the structure has been part of the neighborhood since 1932. Does anyone have additional information on this situation?

Yoga is a great activity for tweens and teens, because it's bonding but doesn't require any gabbing. It can also ease tensions if you're having any trouble with your daughter at home. Plus, super fun. My three-year-old is constantly stopping in public to show off her one-legged down dog, which I find delightful.
Grab a drink and sit a spell, my friend. When the weather gets toasty, take your little girl to an old-fashioned soda shop for a tasty and refreshing treat.
This summer, take your little girl to a movie premiere, courtesy of an American Girl® Store near you. You'll see Isabelle Dances into the Spotlight, an all-new movie featuring Isabelle™, the 2014 American Girl of the Year. Seriously, ladies, there's a goody bag included, so you best check out your local listings for more information.
Nothing says summer like Kool-Aid, right? Especially when you use it to create a funky and washable mother-daughter hairdo. Seriously, dye your hair with a fun wash-out Kool-Aid color that's perfect for summer vacation. (Word to the wise: Just don't hop in a swimming pool afterward, because the chlorine will set the color in your hair permanently — not that this has ever happened to me or anything).
Take your daughter to your local salon for matching French tips on fingers and toes. Everyone knows that a mani-pedi is at least four times as fun with a daughter along for the ride.
Scope your neighborhood for a beginner's painting class, and try your hand at a masterpiece. Even if your daughter is shy, the low-pressure ambiance will have her chatting in no time.
Who says little boys are the only ones crazy about trains? If you have a train nearby, call your city for information about specialty train rides for kids. For instance, the train in my town has a fun pajama party event that's ripe for a mother-daughter outing.
A girl's pet is her "fur-ever" friend, so celebrate Fido with an American Girl Store event in honor of your family's pet. During the event, you'll enjoy a tasty meal and fun activities that shout "hip, hip, hooray" for Fido and Fluffy. Visit the American Girl Store website for detailed information and local listings.
Forget your husband — your daughter is the ideal candidate for a movie date. Pick out a girly rom-com or animated flick for a unique time as a duo, and don't forget to pack girly snacks to make it special. We're thinking yummy chocolates, light finger foods and the mixin's for a Shirley Temple.

808555 Nov 4, 2010 3:02 PM (in response to 809092)Theoretically, the correct architecture for a workstation is as follows:
http://dlc.sun.com/pdf/819-1892-12/819-1892-12.pdf (Chapter 1.3 Supported Sun Monitors and Chapter 2, Figure 2-3 Workstation/LCD/K&M).
The problems you described could be avoided by using a KVM Model:
http://www.minicom.com/kvm-single-user.htm (Example: SmartRack 116 KVM Switch Console).
Video Connection/Keyb&Mouse between the workstation and the KVM_Smartrack is using "Minicom_ROC_USB" (RJ-45 to screen and keyboard/mouse USB). For more details go to:

809092 Nov 4, 2010 7:41 PM (in response to 808555)Yes, I originaly discovered the cable configuration error by reviewing the support documentation. Now that a USB mouse was connected through the keyboard properly it resolved both the mouse and video degradation we were experiencing. I was just wondering what might have been happening with the data transfer that was effecting the mouse & video operations. -
3. Re: Video Degradation - SUN Ultra 45
809092 Nov 9, 2010 2:53 PM (in response to 809092)I resolved the KVM mouse & video degradation by correctly configuring the mouse through the keyboard USB port vice running the mouse directly to the KVM user station.

issues make digital document security a thorny problem to solve.
Organizations have way too much data.Larry Ponemon, chairman and founder, Ponemon Institute
Sixty-three percent of IT specialists surveyed said confidential or sensitive documents at their organization are not fully secured and protected, according to a study conducted by Ponemon Institute, a research think tank that specializes in privacy and data protection.
The study, 2012 Confidential Documents at Risk Study, surveyed 622 IT and IT security professionals in the U.S. It revealed trends in how enterprise IT deals with digital document security. The results show poor practices are leaving companies susceptible to document leaks. Of those surveyed, 90% said they have experienced a leakage or loss of confidential documents in the last 12 months. The survey was commissioned by Palo Alto, Calif.-based WatchDox, a file-sharing service for confidential documents.
Funding issues contribute to the lack of action in protecting confidential documents, said Larry Ponemon, chairman and founder of the Traverse City, Mich.-based Ponemon Institute.
"It does require resources; it's not free, and you can't just start training people," Ponemon said, adding that while training is a good course of action, it shouldn't be the main one.
Digital document security has become a widespread concern with the increasing popularity of browser-based file-sharing services such as Dropbox, Box.net and YouSendIt. WikiLeaks, which relied on anonymous tips and whistleblowers, has also raised questions about the security of confidential documents.
So far, little action has been taken to address the issues brought up by file-sharing tools. Forty percent of those surveyed said they were not taking any of the suggested steps to reduce risks. Suggested steps included manual monitoring and controls, employee training and awareness, and enabling security technologies.
Organizations cited the critical success factors for implementing security controls. The top answers included ample budget resources, compliance monitoring procedures and centralized accountability and control, with resources being noted as "very important" or "important" among 80% of responders. Currently, organizations said they spend only 6.98% of their IT security budget on document protection.
Further complicating the problem of protecting digital documents is the plethora of ways employees can share them. While enterprises were focused on email attachments and USB drives, smartphones and remote storage services make it easy for multiple devices to access the Internet and receive a file. In the Ponemon study, which was published in July, 65% of organizations said they believe there is a serious security risk in accessing documents on mobile devices and tablets.
To accommodate the need for file sharing and the multiple devices it occurs on, Ponemon believes in a multifaceted solution, including governance, a document security tool and security intelligence.
"You can't just have one solution," he said.
Until the right tool is available, Ponemon said organizations can take basic steps to secure their documents. Organizations need to take a look at data they're not using and if they don't need it, they should get rid of it, he said.
"Organizations have way too much data," Ponemon said.
He also said encryption across devices and creating a policy for the use of cloud technology are important steps.

Blu-ray Taken [Blu-ray Boxset] [Extended Cut; Includes Digital Copy]
Not Yet Rated
"Morel directs much like his mentor Besson -- that's to say, very slickly, with an emphasis on glossy action sequences."
Sight and Sound
"TAKEN is very much its own film, bolstered by director Morel's explosive, adrenaline-driven approach to staging action and a cleverly-constructed script..."
Box Office
"Neeson throws himself into this role, appearing in nearly every scene and making good use of a purposeful scowl that combines fury and disgust in equal measure."
Los Angeles Times
"A satisfying thriller as grimly professional as its efficient hero, TAKEN pairs the ruthless hand-to-hand combat of the Bourne series with the potent child-in-peril plotline of a Lifetime original movie."
Washington Post
3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]his is an absolute hoot whose visceral, no-holds-barred fight and torture scenes...are brutal enough to make even Jack Bauer flinch."
Total Film
3 stars out of 5 -- "Ex-cinematographer Pierre Morel brings much of the punishing brutality he injected into DISTRICT 13..."
"One of the biggest -- and most surprising -- hits of the year, TAKEN gooses a tired premise and turns it into a tense exercise..." -- Grade: A-

10/09/2007 / Short Stories
The artistry of a sunset, with its deep reds, oranges and yellows, used to be my sustenance. When I was depressed, I would go to the pond in my back yard and marvel at the beauty of the ripples on the water, the variety of wildflowers surrounding it, and the amazing diversity of the animals I saw. I would often see dragonflies, tadpoles, carp, and even, occasionally, a deer enjoying an afternoon drink.
When I was bored, I would drive up into the mountains. Looking down with amazement at the city below, I would realize what a small piece I am in this giant world. It always did wonders for my perspective. At other times, I would pull out a book and engross myself in the imaginary world of the author. I found myself cheering for his heroes, crying and laughing along with them, and rejoicing at the injustices set right.
One of my greatest joys was looking into the eyes of my husband and telling him what a wonderful man he is, and how much I love him. He has the deepest, most beautiful eyes I have ever seen. Those eyes reflect his soul, and his love for me, and I could stare at them forever.
I don't do any of these things anymore, and I haven't for several years. And you know what? I don't miss them, though I have to admit I used to. Who wouldn't? After 35 years of being able to see, having your sight taken from you is quite a blow. But, I tell you, the good Lord has given me something better - MUCH better.
How did I lose my sight? To be honest, it is really not important. The crucial question is: why did I lose it? Now, that question I will answer. I don't know; at least not fully. I can tell you, however, that there is Someone who does know, and He has given me little glimpses over the past few years that have given me a peace, a wholeness, I never had when these eyes were working.
I used to be one of the most independent people on this earth. I didn't need anyone, and I could do anything. Now I am often dependent on others - which has helped me to learn to depend on the One who created me. There is nothing like needing someone to make you more aware of the needs of others and how to meet them. I have become more of the servant that Christ had always wanted me to be, and all it took was the removal of one of my senses.
And, I know that I will be able to see again when I get to heaven. I have confidence that's where I'm going, and it will be glorious! I don't think there will be people more appreciative of the wonderful sights of our heavenly homes than those who could not see their earthly ones.
I often think of that wonderful hymn Amazing Grace and realize that it is true, in a very odd way, for me.
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me;
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see.
I can see so much more clearly with heavenly eyes than I ever could with earthly ones. When I became blind, my spiritual eyes opened up to all I could and will see.
Instead of the colors of the sunset, I will see the sparkling glaze of the Holy City: her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal. (Rev. 21:11) Rather than marveling at our pond and the foliage around it, I will sit by the River of Life and eat of its tree. (Revelation 22:1-2)
Instead of watching a city from above, I will live in the New Jerusalem with streets of gold and gates of pearl. (Revelation 21) Rather than reading books to be transported to new lands, I will be living the ultimate fantasy, one that no one can imagine or improve upon.
And, on those days when I miss looking into my husband's eyes, I remember that, one day, I will be able to look directly into the most amazing eyes of all - the eyes of my Savior, Jesus Christ.
Still, I sometimes wonder if God will heal me in a miraculous way - or even a not-so-miraculous one. Will I some day be an amazing testimony of his role as the Great Physician? Only He knows that, and I can trust Him to do what is best.
I may have lost my sight, but, thanks to my wonderful Lord, my vision is crystal clear.

This quick, cheesy side, with its crunchy herbed topping, can be ready to bake in just over the time it takes to preheat the oven.
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 (10-oz.) packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed
- 1/2 (8-oz.) package cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup milk
- 1 (8-oz.) package shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Italian-seasoned Japanese breadcrumbs (panko) or homemade breadcrumbs
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
How to Make It
Melt 2 Tbsp. butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and sauté 8 minutes or until tender.
Meanwhile, drain spinach well, pressing between paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Blend cream cheese and flour in a large bowl until smooth. Whisk in eggs, salt, and pepper. Gradually whisk in milk until blended. Add sautéed onions, spinach, and cheese, stirring to blend. Spoon into a lightly greased 11" x 7" baking dish.
Combine breadcrumbs and 3 Tbsp. melted butter in a small bowl; toss well, and sprinkle over casserole.
Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30 to 35 minutes or until thoroughly heated and breadcrumbs are browned.

Police in Lincoln City Oregon are looking for a man who allegedly car-jacked a woman by knifepoint. The 18 year old woman was visiting the Tanger Outlet Mall when police say a man kidnapped her at knifepoint. "The male jumped in, and drove her to an isolated area in Lincoln City not far from the outlet mall." Lincoln City Police Sergeant Randy Weaver says that's when the woman's fight or flight instinct took over. "Jumped out of the car and ran through a fence, through a very large field, actually dove through a barbed wire fence and ran to a nearby residence, where the folks heard her yelling and screaming." Weaver said the man was following close behind, but took off into a wooded area when she got to those people. Police searched, but did not find the man. He's described as having red hair and no teeth. Call Lincoln City Police if you have any information on this case.

Miki's hair style really goes so well with her new dress
LIVE FEED, EXCELLENT QUALITY: http://www.onlinetv-free.com/bnt.html
If you are in the US, these two are currently working for me:
Wow... uninterrupted coverage including warmup. Men's figure skating and ice dance were more exciting though. :P
Miki new outfit looks awsome!
You know, I don't think I've EVER been nervous for Rachel before...
My heart is freakin' beating.
Miki's new dress is a step up. The old one was cute, but in a cartoon character sort of way.
Here we go.

Poetry Friday -- Seeds
23 comments:
Mary Lee, I have been feeling exactly the same way, but can't even pretend that I've done any writing this week :-( There's always the weekend, right?
I do love the last stanza of your poem and the way "a burst of chatter" echoes the burst of a tomato when you bite into it. Here's to classrooms full of blooming students!
CatherineHmm, what time zone are you in? Let's meet at 5am and pretend that nothing but writing is calling our names at that moment!
As for craft, the 1st and 3rd stanzas work beautifully together; it's the 2nd that wants another look, to make those ticks burst past a little faster like seeds and chatter.Mary Lee, it's so encouraging to hear about the struggle between writing, walking, and teaching. Over at my blog, I also am looking into my life more deeply to see where I get unnecessarily caught up and could be pushing away the classroom (not the kiddos, the mindless paper minutia) and regaining time and space to think about writing and walking. Thanks for your words of honesty. http://learningontheedge.blogspot.com Sarah
