I Got Married at 18
I don't bother explaining to people that I got married long before I got pregnant, because math obviously isn't their strong suit. Neither is tact.
My husband and I passed our nine-year wedding anniversary in September. We got married when I was 18.
With the popularity of the "Twilight" books, a hot topic on the Internet seems to be whether marriage at 18 really works. I didn't marry a supernatural creature, and I can only speak from my own experience.
I was 18, head over heels in love with my 22-year-old boyfriend, and we'd decided to live together. But a priest didn't need to guilt us into making it official; we went to him. He did rush things along so we would cease to live in sin and hopefully make some Catholic babies. By most Internet accounts, I should be on kid number five, all of whom sleep in the same bedroom (whether I should still have teeth varies by site), but she's an only child. (We're "one and done" with our daughter.)
The truth is, we married unusually young but we are incredibly (almost depressingly) normal. A good date night is dropping our daughter off at her grandparents' and eating homemade nachos on the couch while watching a really bad romantic comedy (and when I say really bad, I mean did you see "The Proposal"?). I volunteer to bring snacks to her pre-school. He comes home from work to play with LEGOs. Our fights don't amount to much more than the occasional night on the couch (hey, he snores) and there's always the make-up sex.
No Regrets?
We've been married nine years. If I regret anything, it's that we seemed to have gotten old before our time. I'm only 27, and I stay in and watch bad TV on a Friday night. A night out in Manhattan with my girlfriends requires advance planning and an internal debate: Do I want the hassle? In the end it was the promise of a visit to a good cupcake bakery that swung me toward the city and convincing my parents to watch our daughter.
Perhaps that's the only negative aspect of marriage at 18 for me: I'll practically prostitute myself for a really good New York City cupcake.
Young marriage it doesn't doom you to a life of poverty or bad self-esteem. One study even found younger married women are more likely to step up and take financial responsibility, and less likely to have financial fights in their marriage. We got married young, but we were both well out of high school (I graduated at 16) and with no baby on the way, I daresay we had a better chance at making it work than the couples whose first year of not keeping their hands off each other is better termed "can't keep their hands from smelling faintly of diaper."
Living Proof
If you want evidence that age is just a number, prop our marriage up against our friends'. Throw all those statistics about marriages failing at me, and I'll point you in the direction of the friends who waited until well past the legal age to say "I do."
One friend is on husband number two (a fabulous guy whom I'm glad she found). Another is going through a messy separation (from a total tool -- again, glad she's there). A third had a child with a man she's since severed all ties with and is planning her wedding to a second (again, much more fabulous) guy.
I didn't let my eyes go wide and swoon because a guy happened to glitter in the sunshine a la "Twilight." If you're looking for him at 18, 28 or 68, you probably need a refresher course in life. Might I suggest you start with math?

I'm so glad to see this article!!! I believe in keeping oneself pure until marriage, and it is impractical to think that putting marriage off in the prime sexual years of ones life is a good way to do that. I believe that young marriage is actually the way things should go, I also think that to be prepared for it people need to be in the company of good counsel, and listen to it's wisdom.

I honestly love this story. My boy-friend and I are the same, even though we've planned for some days and in the end we've had to re-plan, we're officially getting married in December 2010, right before we both hit twenty.
Being from families who married young and encourage a good financial ethic, we're way ahead of our time as well. While others are still dating, partying, and doing other things, we're planning a wedding, and looking forward to spending most weekends at home together on the couch watching t.v. and playing videogames or something.
You're story really helped, because it gave an insight of someone who is not the norm in today's world. I appreciate it (:

Well I have to make a comment on this because my husband and I got married when I was only 17 yrs old, and today is our 17 yr anni!!!! I have to say it works as long as you believe in one another. I'm excited to hear that there are more people in the world today to take a challenge in life and go with it, I have to say it's always been a winding road but eventually it all settles down to love and supporting each other....

I too, was 17 years old, and NOT ready for marriage. I was not pregnant, was celibate, up until two weeks AFTER my marriage. My father was in a hurry to get we two girls, out of his hair,and his wife. I married a lazy someone, that didn't amount to a dime. But, I was Daddy's good girl, and never talked back, he said you, and Frank are getting married, in Reno, two days from the time he made that announcement. I just shrugged, or shook my head. Don't know which. That was the worst day of my life, or, pretty close to being the worst. I stayed married to him, I couldn't support the four girls, I had, and he didn't hold a job, long enough, to take him into court, for child support. I put him in jail once, and all his friends were in there, so they sat around playing Pinochle, drinking coffee, and loving it. So, I came east, to be with my mother, who didn't want me to marry in the first place. She couldn't stop it, she was in Nova Scotia, with her husband, and when she found out, it was too late. When they came back to the Washington D.C. area, I moved here, with my girls. My husband was a womanizer, a pathological liar, you name it, that was him. Again, since I was so young, I had no skills, to support my girls, so, I depended on what little money he brought in, and my step-father helping out, financially. He even stole a check from one of his girlfriends check book. And, took her to N.Y.C. wined, and dined her, on her money, though she didn't know it, at the time. When she found out, she called me, and said she was going to have him jailed. Well, I ended up, picking up the bad check, to keep him out of jail, as my step-dad said, at least he does bring some money in. Now, I have been a widow, for over 17 years, will never marry, again. I will not be buried with him, I will be buried in another cemetery, away from him. I put him in the Catholic cemetery, next to my Church, and I will go elsewhere. I am Catholic, too. And, I had the marriage rectified, about 10 years after the Reno marriage, so I could receive Holy Communion. My girls are all grown, have families of their own. And, I am a 75 year old widow, bitter widow, when I think of him, so I try not to.

But did either spouse go to college? People often ask me why I haven't married my boyfriend of 4 years who I started dating when I was 18. My answer is that I'm working and trying to finish school and want to close one chapter of my life by getting my degree before I open the next chapter. We are friends with several couples about our same age and they all have children but the difference is that none of them went to college so they didn't have that delay between high school and starting a family.

Just because you have gone to college, doesn't make you a more upstanding person. I married my husband when I was 19. I was in college then and I still take courses on the side. My husband is a college graduate. We now have 3 children but our lives are great. We are financially stable and our children don't miss a thing. While education is very important, I think sometimes the wrong emphasis is placed on such things. I think this article is a great testimony to people who are mature and work hard. I'm just thankful I will have an extra few years to "grow old" with my husband.

I am 18 and my husband is 20. We got married in October of this year. So we are newlyweds. No, I am not pregnant and we don't plan to become pregnant. And guess what... we are both is college. Just because you get married early does not mean you have to have kids or you can't finish school. I find it easier to do the work and get things finished w/ him encouraging me and giving me the strength to finish college. I am going for Physical Therapy.. not the easiest degree by far. And we are very much in love.

College is not everything. There are plenty of jobs and other career paths that do not involve college. Education is always a sure path and you will never lose but that not is for everyone. Basically, this couple is of a different mind-set than you. To you, living means to fulfill all your wants first, then commit to someone who may ask you to alter these wants. There is nothing wrong with a little self-interest but this couple believed living life meant to make each other happy and make the necessary sacrafices to succeed (that is in life and love). It's just a matter of when one is willing to sacrafice all their wants.

I have to comment that I got married at 17 and we had our son the following year in 2002. I was an early highschool graduate and my husband has been in the military (active duty) and still is for his 13th year. Marriage and family not including deployments alone delayed school a bit but my husband now has his BBA and working on his MBA and I am working on my Pre Med studies, Just because we married young and have a, and by a, I mean 1 child doesn't mean you cannot continue to strive for your own personal goals. You grow together as a family and it is a very interesting journey that makes us stronger everyday. I hope this is helpful to you.

Is your boyfriend is college, too? My husband is 7 yrs older than me, allowing him to have a career before I finished college, so it wasn't a big deal for us to get married while I was still finishing up school. Everyone warned against it, but it honestly worked out for the best for us. He could take care of the finances while I focused on my schooling. If your boyfriend is still in school, I would suggest waiting to get married until one of you is finished (it does take money to be married and have a roof over your head), but as long as one of you as a full-time job, it's definitely do-able.

i didnt go to college. i make almost 80k a year and have a bunch of college graduates at my disposal. being a college graduate honestly means nothing anymore other than you can drink lots of beer and come home with overpriced fraternity shirts. im so tired of people throwing college in other peoples faces.

I applaud you wanting to finish school first, but having been through the school route (mostly unmarried - the same as you) I want to point out something I learned. If you need help paying for school, being married gives you more "points" so to speak with government financial aid.
I'm not saying someone should get married just to go to school. But if a couple is discussing getting married and one or both of them is in school, it is something to consider. Especially if they need help with paying for school.

I love this. My mom was 18 and my dad was 22 when they got married, and not because of a pregnancy either (I came over a year later, lol) and it's been over thirty years and they are still happily married.

It's a wonderful article and I couldn't agree more with the author. The comments on this post are interesting, of course, because they reflect everyone's hopes and fears. The person who stated they were trying to finish college before getting married for instance believes that one can't be both spouse and student. Others have commented that being married it wonderful and they just love it. My two cents are that marriage is what you make of it and it should not be held to anyone elses standard other than you and your spouse. If you cant be a spouse and a student you should ask yourself why? If marriage is constantly blissful also ask yourself why? The life you share with your spouse is something that should be a benefit to both parties but it is always a "working" relationship which means if you are always happy than someone's hiding something....

My husband and I got married this year just before both of our 21st birthdays, relatively young by most standards. And we felt that "too young" judgement in the ways a lot of people looked at us when we said we were engaged. We are both students finishing our last year of university, both financially stable and not in debt, and we both work hard and are looking to do grad school next September.
I hated then, when people said "Congratulations" while at the same time looking at me like I was ruining any future I had. It was nice to read your article and hear some similar sentiments. I complete agree with you that marriage is not an age-dependent thing (with some exceptions of course). We were ready at 20, some aren't until they are 30 or 40 or 50. It really depends on the couple and how much you are willing to work together.

I am so happy to see this! My parents are against being married before hitting your mid 20s, no kids before 30s. I just turned eighteen, and am happily engaged :) We are saving up for a wedding now--so no date--but i hate the idea that love should be restricted by age. thank you for posting this :D

I read all your comments on getting married young. But it seems to me that none of you have actually been married that long. I've been married for 30 years, and I can tell you that we didn't get married young I was almost 30 when we married. I'm glad that I personally had the oppertunaty to be young and stay up and party with friends, I enjoyed being young and just worrying about just myself, guess that makes me selfish. When I did meet my husband we dated 3 years neither one of us wanted to rush into a marriage. my advice and no one asked for it , is to take your time and enjoy being young, have fun, party, travel, be your own person before you give your vows to another

My husband and I married when I had just turned 19 and he had just turned 20. He worked while I went to school. After I graduated, he started his own business and I taught school. We were young enough to not worry about the odds being against us! In May we will celebrate our 36th wedding anniversary. So I guess it worked! By the way, our only child is in college now. I am kind of glad he hasn't met that 'special someone' yet, but, if he does, I am all for him getting married young also!

i got married at 18, right out of high school. we met online in 2 very different states. moved to one state and get married a few weeks after i had arrived. it is hard when ur family doesnt support u. some of my family disowened me. others were very disappointed in me saying im smarter then that and have my whole life ahead of me. Girls if u love him that much and can heart the fact that ur family just might not approve, its up to you. both of u in the end. we have been married for 6years now and we have 1 child, hes our one and only. i walked through crap and passed, everyday is something more to look forward too. its not easy but it can be a blessing.

By "centering the offense" do you mean becoming dependent on their scrambling ability and/or conforming to their poor passing skills?
Scrambling QB's don't necessarily have poor passing skills. Cunningham had a freakin' cannon of an arm, Colt McCoy is pretty deadly accurate, and McNair had the complete package throw wise (as did Young).
The problem is:
1. Play calling: If you have a QB that can scramble, you have to build the playbook around that. Running plays tend to be options and passing plays are either horizontal (to take advantage of the safeties and LB's run blitzing) or full on vertical (to take advantage of the safeties playing up).
If you want to see what happens when you put a pocket passer in a running QB scheme, take a look at the Texas Longhorns record this year.
2. Protection: Blocking for a pocket passer on a passing play is straight pass blocking. Blocking for a scrambler can become run blocking at any given moment. You need to have more athletic, quick reacting, zone block type O Linemen for a scrambler.
Again, look at UT this year to see what a pocket passer looks behind these type of O linemen.
3. Routes: A WR can go from running a route to having to block at the drop of a hat. Takes a different sort.
4. The clock in the QB's head: Where pocket passers have a natural "tick (first read), tick(second read), half-tick (third read and step up)/half-tick (throw it away/reset if pressure's not too great)" progression, scrambling qb's have a natural "tick (first read), tick (second read), half tick (third read/RUN!)" progression.
Change the QB and you change the whole timing of the offense.

How to Air Print to ANY (non-airprint) printer from your iPod, iPad or iPhone
Apple has introduced a 'print' button onto iPads, iPhones and iPods to allow you to print directly to a printer from your iOS device. Unfortunately you need a special AirPrint enabled printer. Thankfully there is an application called 'Handyprint' that allows you to print to any printer, here's where to get it and how to use it.
On your iPhone at the bottom of some apps is a 'share' button. If you click this button you get a menu of different ways to share the content, one of these options is 'print' as shown below.
The Printer should now appear in your iPad or iPhone printing menu!
Windows users:
Printing directly from iOS without a computer:
There is an alternative way of doing this. You can an app on your iPhone or iPad that will attempt to print directly to your printer. 'Printer pro' in sone such app and there is a good set of instructions here. There's a free version that will let you see if it works here.
I am not recommending Printer Pro as when I tried it all it printed was 11 pages of gobbledygook. Printer Pro doesn't work on some printers, and so they have released a 'helper app' called desktop helper which you can run on your computer. That now means you are running two apps. The good thing about handy print is that it uses the printer drivers on your computer, so if your computer can print to your printer then handy print can as well. Handyprint only costs $2 more.
98 Responses to "How to Air Print to ANY (non-airprint) printer from your iPod, iPad or iPhone"
The only operating system that will not print directly. Now I have to pay to be able to do this. My windows and Linux pc's, Android phone and tablet all do, but no not Apple products. Only have Apple due to the kids school. (Only run Windows due to work). Over priced money grabbers.
Worked great, immediately. Then I saw developer's misleading wording for it. It's either free with a suggested donation, or simply charge for it. You don't require payment and ask for donation. That's crap. Just a way of getting out of taxes or not providing support. Wont' use just for misleading, dishonest way of doing!
There is a free App from Canon which allows you to print from you iphone directly to your printer without any PC use.
It's free and it called canon easy-photoprint.
I tried it and it functions great.
Not so happy, why blame apple, they're not getting the money!
My IPAD recognizes and prints to my HP Office Jet and to my Epson XP-400. My IPHONE, however, does not recognize either and returns the message "No AirPrint Printers Found".
Why is it that my IPAD can print to anything, but my IPHONE 5s can not?
Look for your brand name printer in App Store

Raffles' landing in Singapore
Raffles' landing in Singapore is dated 28 January 1819. Travelling on the Indiana with a squadron which included the schooner Enterprise, he anchored off at St John's Island at 4:00 pm. The landing site of Raffles is today marked with the statue of Raffles, located by the Singapore River, behind Parliament House.
Raffles remained onboard the Indiana whilst locals from Singapore island called on board. Raffles consulted them, asking if the Dutch had authority over the main island and noted that only the Temenggong held fort there. The next day, Raffles and Farquhar visited the Temenggong, landing at a local river (there is a dispute as to whether they first landed at Singapore River or Rochor River further east). Raffles named his landing location, South Point.
The Temenggong, a vassal of Sultan Hussein, was consulted and a provisional treaty was agreed upon. Thereafter, the British flag was planted upon Singapore shores, troops dispatched and instructions left for a fort to be built at Fort Canning Hill. Tungku Long arrived on 1 February, whereupon they agreed on a treaty on 6 February before Raffles departed on 7 February leaving Farquhar in-charge of the infant settlement.
19 Jan 1819 : Raffles leaves Penang aboard the Indiana, under the command of Captain James Pearl, to establish a new settlement south of Malacca.
27 Jan 1819 : The Indiana rendezvous with the Discover and the Investigator with Farquhar onboard, surveying the possibility of the Karimun islands as a new British site. After discussion, they decide against it and head towards Singapore.
28 Jan 1819 : The Indiana and Enterprise anchor at St John's island, meeting with locals in the evening.
29 Jan 1819 : Raffles and Farquhar land by a river in Singapore and meet the Temenggong.
30 Jan 1819 : A draft agreement is penned between the Temenggong and the British and the Union Jack is raised with little ceremony.
1 Feb 1819 : Sultan Hussein (Tungku Long) arrives from Riau.
6 Feb 1819 : The Singapore Treaty is signed between Raffles, Sultan Hussein and the Temenggong with Commanders from the accompanying seven ships witnessing the event. Farquhar is appointed Resident and Commandant under the authority of Raffles as Lieutenant-Governor of Bencoolen. The Union Jack is officially raised. This date is recognised as the official founding of Singapore.
Controversy has arisen from Raffles' own mistake in recording the date of the first landing as 29 February 1819 in his "Statement of the Services of Sir Stamford Raffles", a date which did not exist as 1819 was not a leap year.
Variant Interpretations
Wah Hakim's interpretation
Wah Hakim, a 15 year old eyewitness to the events testified that Raffles arrived in the company of William Farquhar who wore a helmet and a Sepoy who carried a musket. They were entertained with fruits including rambutans at the Temenggong's home until they left at about 4:00 pm that afternoon. The British then left, returning 12 days later but they remained by the shore, living in makeshift attap huts. Tengku (Tunku) Long was found fishing in the Straits of Rhio and was called down by two princes, Raja Ombong, a kinsman of Tengku Long and Enche Wan Abdullah who were both paid 500 pounds for their effort. Tengku Long made negotiations with Raffles at the Temenggong's residence first and later at Raffles' which was located in Padang Senar.
Temenggong's interpretation
The Temenggong's letters however testified that there were at least nine vessels that brought the British; seven ships, one kura-kura and one ketch although Munshi Abdullah in the Hikayat highlights that there were four ships instead. The Temenggong and Munshi Abdullah also differ as to who did the negotiations. The Temenggong notes that Farquhar left for Malacca soon after, leaving Raffles to do the negotiations.
Munshi Abdullah's interpretation
Munshi Abdullah however records that it was only Farquhar who first landed on 29 January 1819 and excludes the presence of Raffles. The controversy is discussed by C. A. Gibson-Hill in the article "The Date of Munshi Abdullah's first visit to Singapore" found in 150th Anniversary of the Founding of Singapore. Gibson-Hill concurs that Raffles may have remained onboard the Indiana, sleeping, during that first visit to Singapore.
Captain Crawford's interpretation
Captain J. G. F. Crawford, commanded the Investigator, the H. C. Surveying Vessel which surveyed Singapore waters upon the initial landing of Raffles and Farquhar.
Cho Clan Archives
Records highlight that Raffles had the ship's carpenter, Chow Ah Chi, set up the East India Company flag on Singapore. The Toisan Cantonese from Penang reportedly landed on the banks of the Rochore River and Raffles would consequently have followed his vanguard's route and probably landed at the Kallang Basin rather than the shores of the Singapore River.

With its bankruptcy filing, Thursday, Detroit became the largest municipality in the United States to seek Chapter 9 protection.
As Scott reported, the city is saddled with $18.5 billion in debt.
Today, we ask, what happens next?
— CNN reports that Michigan Gov. Rick Snyner said today "should be a regular day." The lights won't be turned off and city services should continue. Snyder said that, perhaps ironically, future city services may improve because the city is no longer burdened with what he called "legacy costs."
"I know many will see this as a low point in the city's history," he told CNN. "If anything, this gets us on the path towards improved services."
— As for what happens on the legal side: The AP says because Detroit is such a massive bankruptcy, the case "could take years to resolve."
First, a bankruptcy judge has to approve Detroit's request. Then:
"… city assets could be liquidated to satisfy demands for payment. The city would propose a reorganization plan. The wide-ranging plan could include anything from selling assets, layoffs, changing union contracts and more. Then, the city would need the support of creditors to emerge from bankruptcy."
The Wall Street Journal reports that perhaps the hardest hit in all of this may be "unsecured creditors." That includes people who were expecting a pension from the city who will "likely get just pennies on the dollar."
— The Journal adds that federal bankruptcy code doesn't require a city to liquidate assets. That said, Detroit could decide to sell some of what it owes to pay creditors.
One big concern for art lovers: The Detroit Institute of Arts, which is owned entirely by the city. Graham Bell, the director of the museum, told CNN Money that the city's emergency manager Kevyn Orr asked the museum for an inventory.
Bell said "the collection is not off the table." The collection is world class: It includes works by Matisse, Van Gogh and Rembrandt.
The museum issued a statement last night to WXTZ-TV saying it will defend its collection.
"We remain committed to our position that the Detroit Institute of Arts and the City of Detroit hold the DIA's collection in trust for the public and we stand by our charge to preserve and protect the cultural heritage of all Michigan residents," the museum said.

'11 Getrag MT-82
The 5.0 engine gets the new Getrag MT-82 six-speed manual trans. It has a 23-spline input shaft, which should be a step up over the 10-spline input used on the TR-3650. Occasional grinding when shifting into Second during normal driving has been reported by some owners, but others swear this trans "shifts like butter." Lethal Performance is making 600 hp at the wheels without problems. On the other hand, "after a rough 1,000 miles," JPC's trans stuck in Third gear (probably a broken shift fork). Ford replaced it under warranty.
A descendent of the beefy Tremec T56 six-speed, the TR-6060 is the only trans used behind '07 to '11 Shelby GT500s. D&D has cars running more than 750 hp to the tires with a stock 6060; even stronger Magnum versions are offered. Synchro wear is the only real issue, with Second gear the most problematic. More durable carbon-fiber blocker rings were introduced on the '10 models; they can be retrofitted.
Slippage (varies): Factory single-disc clutches start slipping at 400 to 450 hp on the three-valve GT V8s and at around 650 to 700 hp for the dual-disc clutch behind the Shelby four-valve. Install upgraded clutch assemblies available from major aftermarket clutch companies.
Clutch pedal sticks to the floor ('11 5.0, more than 6,700 rpm): An improperly designed clutch pedal is apparently responsible for the clutch failing to release even on stockers. Ford has come out with a service-fix pedal-redesign and upgraded pedal return spring.
Rearend And Driveshaft
All '05-and up Mustangs use a two-piece driveshaft and a Ford 8.8-inch solid rear with 31-spline axles. Stick-shift launches are harder on parts than automatic launches; slicks impart greater shock than street tires.
Axle and differential failures (400 to 550 hp): Axles usually fail first, with diffs a close second. "Most times, a good launch can break the axles right in half," Burcham says. Extend 8.8 life expectancy with C-clip eliminator housing ends, 31-spline or greater aftermarket billet axles, a housing brace, a rear-cover girdle, and an aftermarket diff-either a Detroit Tru-Trac or (for racing only) a spool.
Bent rearend housing (650 hp): Svinicki says sticky tires can bend the housing. He prefers installing a drop-in Moser or Ford Racing 9-inch Ford rearend with 35-spline axles.
Other Issues
Wheelhop: Svinicki says the Mustang "wheelhops straight out of the factory" with the traction-control off, particularly on a stick shift. Upgraded Ford Racing Cobra Jet upper and lower control arms or aftermarket equivalents are needed to control this problem.
Cooling system (525 hp): Mustang GTs upgraded to this level tax the stock radiator.
Fuel system (varies): Upgrades are needed on the Mustang GT over 450 hp normally-aspirated or 400 hp with forced induction. The Ford Racing GT500 dual pump returnless assembly works through 600 hp with properly sized injectors. Beyond that, JPC recommends high-end aftermarket fuel supply systems.
Brakes: Use GT500 brakes if road racing.

In this world today, we shouldn't forget that in the midst of conflict and killing, there are people like these — people who are focused on what can be built rather than what can be destroyed; people who are focused on how they can help people that they've never met; people who define themselves not by what makes them different from other people but by the humanity that we hold in common. It's important for us to lift them up and to affirm their lives. And it's time for us to heed their example.
Be curious. Read widely. Try new things. I think that a lot of what people call intelligence just boils down to curiosity.

18 of the Most Striking Beauty Looks From the Dior Runway
Backstage at Christian Dior must be a makeup artist and hairstylist's dream. Not only can the beauty looks be described as some of the most spectacular in the fashion world, but also, there are multiple makeup and hair styles within each show. That's an impressive feat, considering these looks typically consist of highly involved eye-makeup techniques and intricately structured coiffures. Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but Christian Dior continually finds more ways to catch the eye.

I know that in Tunnel Mode, IPsec can be NATed and PATed (without IKE on UDP

working, I've been stumped by this:
NAT - Changes source IP during translation
PAT - Changes source IP and TCP/UDP port to another to track multiple to one
My question is, how does PAT track the packets with their internal hosts
when there is not a TCP/UDP header to translate.
How does it know which "internal" host a returning ESP packet must be
forwarded to after it un PATs the incoming packet?
thanks and I hope this isn't a totally stupid question. If it is, humor me
IPsec can't be PATted, because the TCP and UDP port numbers are in the

On Friday night the Sacramento Kings and Los Angeles Lakers battled in L.A. for last place in the Western Conference. The Kings were without suspended DeMarcus Cousins and ended falling in a close game of no defense, 126-122. This matchup got me thinking about which team will be able to leave the bottom of the Western Conference first. The Lakers are rarely not in the playoffs, but this is the Mike D'Antoni and Jim Buss era and they have not proven to be a good fit so far. The Kings are about to finish up their eighth straight losing season and have many decisions this offseason. Let's take a look at both teams' rosters, free agency and the draft.
The Rosters
Los Angeles Lakers
For the next two years the big question for the Lakers is what kind of player will Kobe Bryant be? Bryant is coming off of some major injuries over the last two seasons, so to question his health is completely valid and he will be 36 years old next season. The other issue the Lakers face with Bryant is his contract for the next two seasons is at $23.5 million and $25 million, therefore, if he is not healthy, it will cripple the Lakers in many ways. Now next season the Lakers really only have two players under contract, Bryant and Steve Nash. However, it looks like Nash could retire as he has struggled to stay on the court this year and his body might not let him go one more season. So your 2014-15 Lakers, as of right now, could have a 40 year-old point guard and 36-year-old shooting guard not ideal in a very deep Western Conference. The Lakers have a lot of holes to fill in the offseason and it will all depend on which free agents want to come and play with Bryant.
Sacramento Kings
The Kings have their big man for the next four years as they locked up DeMarcus Cousins with an extension that starts next season. The two big questions they face is what will they do with Isaiah Thomas, who is a free agent after this season, and Rudy Gay, who has a $19 million player option for next season. Therefore, there is a good possibility the Kings could be without both players next season, as both could be in search of long-term contracts. The Kings do have three power forwards on the books for next season in Jason Thompson, Carl Landry and Derrick Williams. The main issue with the three is that none of them have proven to be better than merely average and they are playing the trio a combined $19.5 million. In order for the Kings to improve the next couple of seasons they really need Ben McLemore to be the player many believe he can be. Right now he is looking like he could be a bust, but it is only his rookie year and he has shown flashes. Unlike the Lakers, the Kings will need to improve through the draft as free agents have been unwilling to sign in Sacramento.

I have plenty of disagreements with comments made by Tampa Bay Buccaneers' head coach Greg Schiano. But Monday, at his day-after-the-game press conference, he made a statement that is as true as any he's ever made.
I asked Schiano about David's impact to the defense, said he "wouldn't trade Lavonte David for anyone."
— Gil Arcia (@GilArciaTBC) December 9, 2013
Lavonte David is an irreplaceable piece of the Tampa Bay defense, and worth of all of the praise he's receiving, and then some.
The second-year linebacker from Nebraska has ascended to the top of the charts among linebackers in the NFL, rivaling Sean Lee, Luke Kuelchy, Patrick Willis and others for the crown of "best linebacker in football." David's ability to play the run, rush the quarterback, and cover receivers makes him the epitome of an every down player.
Before the season, there were plenty of debates as to who the most irreplaceable Buccaneer was. And while David's name was kicked around in those discussions, he wasn't seen as the player that would be toughest to replace.
But after 13 games of his second season, we can now say that Lavonte is a superstar, and is not worth trading for any player at any position. The impact he has on this defense is incredibly valuable, and he's likely to keep getting better.
With that in mind, head over to the Pro Bowl Voting Guide and see more reasons why you should vote for Lavonte David, and then head to the Pro Bowl Ballot and cast your vote for the best Tampa Bay Buccaneer player this season.

Transcript of Dr. Gustave Gingras - Artificial Hand
career begin?.. Reasoning for going... When Dr. Gustave Gingras completed his studies, war was happening over in Europe. He took and internship in neurosurgery there. He worked at the Hospital in Basingstoke, England. He said "Working closely with such dedicated professionals was the best medical training of my career," Born... Dr. Gingras was born on
January 18th 1918. He was born in Montreal Quebec. Schooling... He studied medicine at the Université de Montréal. He then completed his BA at College Bourget in Rigaud, Quebec. In 1942, he joined the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps and served during World War II. There, he studied neurosurgery as an intern at the Canadian Neurosurgical and Plastic Surgery Hospital in Basingstoke. It started as he saw soldiers being wounded. There wounds were paraplegic and quadriplegia impairments.Which means to be paralyzed on the lower limbs or from the neck down. He felt sorry as they were expected to spend the rest of their lives as invalids. This is what stimulated his career, helping people with disabilities to accomplish what they intended to do in life. Sources... Disaster in Morocco In 1959, a mysterious disease struck in the Moroccan city. Eventually it was discovered that the paralysis affecting as many as 10,000 Moroccans had been caused by motor oil sold and consumed as cooking oil. There was no known cure except to retrain damaged muscles. Called for help, Gingras enabled 8,000 of the victims to make a full recovery. Dr. Gustave Gingras had helped the disabled in many ways. although one of his inventions was the artificial hand. It operated on what was called ¨muscle electricity.¨. Which means... When muscles contract, tiny electrical pulses are emitted and it is possible to amplify and exploit these impulses to make an artificial limb preform. The man who was put to test with this invention was named Pierre Provencier, tragically he had lost both of his hands in an explosion but due to the artificial hand he could mend his clothes with a needle and thread, build model airplanes.. The artificial hand... http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/physicians/030002-2200-e.html

WASHINGTON, D.C., Aug. 7, 2013 – A detailed life cycle assessment (LCA) study commissioned by the Steel Market Development Institute (SMDI), a business unit of the American Iron and Steel Institute, finds that when comparing overall environmental performance, galvanized steel utility poles outperform wood poles in key environmental measures. The peer-reviewed study, conducted in compliance with international LCA standards (ISO-14040-series), is the most comprehensive environmental assessment of its kind to date, bringing a new level of transparency to the comparative performance of these two material choices.
"Every material choice has environmental consequences at some point during its manufacture, use and disposal," said Lawrence W. Kavanagh, president of SMDI. "Manufacturers have a responsibility to know what these consequences are in order to identify improvement opportunities, while simultaneously helping customers make the best informed decisions. We are pleased to be able to share the results of this study with our customers, demonstrating that steel poles have superior environmental performance for a wide range of indicators."
The study compared the use of galvanized steel and wood utility poles in the southeastern United States over a 40-year time horizon. It stands apart from previous studies in that it applied advanced LCA methods to ensure a more comprehensive assessment and reporting of the full range of potential environmental impacts associated with both galvanized steel and wood, including local and regional ecological impacts. Among its findings, the study showed that replacing wood utility poles with galvanized steel will likely result in lower levels of greenhouse gas and aerosol emissions associated with global climate change, a lower burden on critical energy resources, reduced impacts on the habitats of many threatened and endangered species, and reduced impacts associated with hazardous emissions and wastes. The primary drivers for these findings are the longer lifespan of steel poles, high steel recycling rates, and the overall ecological and land use impacts of growing, harvesting and replanting the forests used to produce wood poles.
"The fact that the steel pole option has relatively lower greenhouse gas emissions and impacts on energy resources reflects the greater durability of steel poles as compared to their wood pole counterparts," said Kavanagh. "Steel's high recycling rate also means that it gets used over and over in all of its applications and that steel poles offer a clear advantage in terms of life-cycle cost efficiency."
The study considered 45-foot-tall, Class 2/Grade B distribution poles and included the production, installation, maintenance and disposal of the poles. It assessed wood poles made from southern yellow pine grown in the southeastern region of the United States and treated with chromated copper arsenic (CCA), a typical practice. The steel poles in the study were produced using North American hot-rolled steel coil and were hot-dip galvanized.
Two different scenarios were compared – one in which wood poles were taken out of service as a result of pole failure and continued to be replaced by Class 2 wood poles, and the other in which wood poles taken out of service due to pole failure were replaced by galvanized steel utility poles. In both scenarios, the total number of utility poles in operation was held constant at one million poles. Based on prevailing industry data, the wood poles were assumed to be replaced at a rate of 2.5 percent per year (40-year lifespan), while steel poles were assumed to be replaced at a rate of 1.25 percent per year (80-year lifespan).
The study found that replacing wood poles with steel poles resulted in several significant environmental benefits, including:

Red alert! Red alert! This is not a drill, Twi-hards! It seems you can get close to Robert Pattinson in his white vampire makeup and Edward Cullen scowl while he's on set of Breaking Dawn.
You just have to act like you belong!
Reports out of the Twiverse claim that at Brazilian TV show managed to weasel their way past the barricades and security guarding the highly defend Isle Esme location while RPatz an Kristen Stewart were filming Breaking Dawn this weekend. The crew even got the chance to film inside the super-secret house via a hidden camera!
Of course, by now the video has been pulled down and Summit is all but livid that this happened, especially considering that production didn't even halt when they realzied their vampy perimeter had be compromised.
Still, if you do some digging,we're told there are a few stills from the video popping here and ther around the Internet.
We're just dying to know how it is that they were able to get in there with such ease! What is your secret craft Brazilian TV makers?

Daughters of Bilitis (1955-1968)
ASSIMILATE (Daughters of Bilitis)
White line woodcut
Image size: 12" x 18" (30.5 x 45.7 cm)
Paper size: 14.5" x 20.5" (37 x 52.4 cm)
Paper: Mawata
Edition: 3 (variable)
Daughters of Bilitis (also called DOB) was the first lesbian social and political organization in the United States. Founded in 1955 in San Francisco by lesbian couple Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon (who were also the first couple to get married in San Francisco once same sex marriage became legal), the DOB began as a social club meant to be an alternative to lesbian bars, which were subject to frequent police raids. This may be hard to imagine today, but in 1955 it was illegal to dance with someone of the same gender in a public place. The original eight members wanted to dance, but they also often discussed the self-hatred many lesbians suffered as a result of internalizing the society's attitudes and their desire to bring social change by providing support and education to lesbians. Within a year, the group had started a newsletter, The Ladder, which was the first nationally distributed lesbian publication in the U.S., and by 1959 there were DOB chapters in New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago.
The Daughters of Bilitis was an assimilationist organization, advocating for women to "adopt a mode of behavior and dress acceptable to society" and urging women not to engage in butch/femme behavior. This may have been appropriate in 1955, a time characterized by police harassment and witch hunts against homosexuals and communists, but by the 1960s there were many lesbians and gays who felt that conformity was not working as a tactic and they began agitating for political activism and visibility. By 1970 the DOB had fallen apart and in 1972 The Ladder folded for lack of funds.
The print I've made to honor the Daughters of Bilitis mimics a traditional quilt pattern called the 'fairy ring.' I lightly blushed three small triangles on the right to suggest a larger triangle that easily disappears and assimilates back into the overall pattern.

Back to 'God Is Our Witness'
Last year I started a series called God Is Our Witness (working title), which I envision as a four-part series of prints dealing with some of the history of the gay liberation movement in the last half of the 20th century. After finishing the first group of prints back in November, 2013, I took a break from the series. This was partly because I turned my attention in a different direction, towards Secret Codewords of the NSA which I finished in June. But it was also because I unnerved myself a little with the first Chapter of 'God Is Our Witness' (I'm calling each section a chapter). Titled "The Curse," Chapter One is a group of prints about exile and isolation. Emotional isolation was an experience I lived in for many years, now thankfully in my past, and it's been a large part of life for many LGBTQ people until very recent generations. Digging into it was painful, yet it felt like a necessary part of telling the story.
So after this long pause, I'm moving into the second Chapter, called "Counterspells," which I expect will be a celebration of some of the groups and organizations that helped move GLBT rights forward in the U.S. from the middle of the 20th century to the present day. The Chapter Opener is a somber beginning to this celebration, however.
In World War II Nazi concentration camps, a downward-pointing pink triangle was sewn on the uniforms of imprisoned gay men and other sexual offenders to identify them to the guards as well as to other prisoners. Sometime in the mid- to late-1970s, the gay community claimed the pink triangle as an international symbol of gay pride and it is still used today (although not as often as the rainbow flag). I used the faux pink fabric that I made a couple of weeks ago to make these triangles, which I sewed onto paper printed with stripes.
As I currently envision this chapter, it will consist of prints based on the shape of the triangle.

Imitating Fabric
My house has been under construction for a number of weeks and, since I work in a home-based studio, my art making has been pretty severely disrupted. Today I waded back in a little bit and made some trompe l'oeil pink fabric with moku hanga and Nishinouchi washi.
The trick is to use lots of rice paste so the brush strokes show.

Portfolios for Secret Codewords
Shortly after my workshop at Anderson Ranch I was feeling anxious to use my newly acquired bookmaking skills, so I made portfolio cases for five full sets of Secret Codewords of the NSA. I used manila file folders for that special touch of authenticity and created string tie closures like those used on inter-office envelopes.
I printed out a label for each folder and stamped them 'classified' for a finishing touch. These full sets will sell for $1300.

Sometimes I'm Married 2014
Every August (or thereabouts) on the anniversary of my legal Massachusetts marriage to my longtime partner Lynn, I update this slow reduction print series called Sometimes I'm Married (see the series here). I'm a few weeks late this year, but here's the 2014 installment. Four states have been added to the 'I am married' column: Oregon, New Mexico and Pennsylvania by court decision, Illinois by legislative vote. There are twelve states where marriage bans have been overturned but appeals are in progress, a situation which almost guarantees that higher courts will take up the issue. Supreme Court watchers believe that the court will accept a gay marriage case sooner rather than later. I could have labeled these state 'I might be married,' but with the situation so fluid right now I've decided to ignore that category, which I used in the past for states where there was no legal policy at all (neither a ban nor a legalization, and no policy on reciprocity with other states).
When I started this series in 2008 I wrote, "I plan to revisit this very gradual reduction print every year around our wedding anniversary until all the states are one color. Then we can frame the series and hang it on our nursing home wall." How wrong I was! This map will likely be all one color well before Lynn and I reach the nursing home, perhaps as soon as next year! Stay tuned.

20th Century Japanese Prints in Denver, CO
|A Spring by Koshiro Onchi
I don't know if it's a drawback in Japanese art, but the technical perfection of the Japanese woodblock masters can certainly be a stumbling block for contemporary artists who are trying to work with the Japanese method. Unfortunately, that type of perfection is what many people think of when you say "Japanese woodblock," so it's often the silent standard in a viewer's mind. And in an artist's mind, how can one do a bokashi and not think of (and compare oneself to) the Ukiyo-e masters? Making a bokashi connects you to Japanese art; using washi connects you to Japanese art. The carving tools, the brushes, the process itself connect you to Japanese art. There's a challenge, and a bit of humor, in making contemporary American art using a traditional Japanese art form. For myself, I try to take the support of the beauty and elegance and history of the method without letting go of my own voice and identity, which places me firmly in the tradition of the 20th century sosaku hanga artists.
Unfortunately, I won't be able to see this show, but if you go and would like to share your reaction I'd love to hear about it (or publish it on this blog).

Practical tips to reduce video surveillance infrastructure costs
Designing storage systems by using camera simulators and employing new storage options
According to market research firm Frost & Sullivan, servers and storage infrastructure make up a substantial amount of video surveillance installation costs. Physical security integrators can take advantage of the right tools and solutions to minimize these substantial costs in order to make bids more competitive and improve reseller margins. Specifically, camera simulator tools reduce guesswork by providing realistic expectations of capacity and bandwidth needs, and clustered NVR storage can reduce storage over-provisioning and eliminate the need for standalone NVR server hardware.
Conventional surveillance infrastructure relies on traditional servers to manage a fixed number of incoming video feeds, and then store these streams on disk storage that is directly attached to each server. The bandwidth and capacity required for each camera are calculated upfront, and fixed storage and server capacity are purchased to match the load. This can become a lengthy process since each camera's resolution, frame rate, compression and motion detection settings must be individually calculated. This fixed architecture is replicated as many times as the camera load requires, which can lead to chronic "over-provisioning" of storage that may never be used.
Actual mileage may vary
With any video-based surveillance system design, bandwidth estimation and network load are important considerations. Compression rates for MPEG4 and H.264 can vary based on actual motion observed in the field. H.264 represents a substantial bandwidth reduction over MPEG-4 compression (often up to 40 percent). Similarly, motion detection schemes may deliver quite different bit rates and capacity needs depending on the installation particulars. A less technical but common reason for variances in planned infrastructure is simply that camera changes are made during field installs to meet user recording specifications. Swapping in higher-resolution cameras to make a customer happy or beefing up frame rates to meet real-world needs can play havoc with carefully calculated server and storage requirements.
Using a camera bandwidth estimator, such as the Axis system design DVD, and calculating for different frame rates are appropriate efforts for design estimation.
Clustered storage reduces risk of being wrong
Unlike direct attached storage, clustered storage is shared by many NVR servers and can be dynamically changed without affecting the network or camera infrastructure. The aggregate bandwidth and capacity of the storage infrastructure are available and automatically load-balanced for the cameras. The risk of configuring individual RAIDs is minimized and the need to "over-provision" each RAID is reduced. If additional capacity is required to meet new camera or retention requirements, it is easily added either logically or physically with clustered storage.
This can result in important cost savings. For example, let's take an installation requiring 200 TB of capacity. When using 10 fixed capacity 20 TB RAIDs, a prudent installer may over-provision each RAID by 20 percent or 4 TB to accommodate worst-case compression rates and unanticipated field issues. With clustered storage, the installer could factor in a 5 percent override of 10 TB for the entire installation and allocate the extra storage as needed. The 30 TB capacity reduction is a roughly $30K saving that can be used to provide a more competitive bid or improve reseller margins.

|Overprovision factor
|Safety over-provisioning
|Cost at $1/GB
Server virtualization can eliminate server infrastructure
The latest innovation in clustered storage architectures is to run NVR applications on virtual machines running in the clustered server appliances. This application of server virtualization technology allows resellers to eliminate the cost, power, cooling and rack space of the dedicated NVR server infrastructure hardware.

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden: Married!by Free Britney at . Comments
Joel Madden and Nicole Richie have made it official.
The longtime partners and parents of two tied the knot Saturday in a lavish yet private ceremony at the Beverly Hills home of her father, Lionel Richie.
While the details are being kept under wraps, we do know there was an elephant in the room ... or at least outside of Lionel's estate. Really, there was.
Congratulations to the newlyweds!
Nicole Richie walked down the aisle in a Marchesa gown that was custom made in NYC, with celebrity hairstyle guru Byron Williams doing his thing.
Joel's twin brother Benji Madden took care of best man duties, while Samantha Ronson served as a bridesmaid in the musically inclined wedding party.
Her best friend Masha Gordon was the maid of honor, with the wedding party also including Joel and Nicole's adorable children Harlow and Sparrow.Nicole's former BFF / Simple Life mate Paris Hilton was not in attendance, however. Benji was probably grateful to miss out on that awkward reunion.
Delivery trucks and other personnel swarmed Lionel's house all week and security was super tight, with the street around the estate closed to traffic.
As such, there's a surprising lack of photos of the guests - Gwen Stefani, Gavin Rossdale, Kris Jenner and others among them - making appearances.
Good for them, keeping it so private. Congratulations on pulling off that feat ... and on the momentous occasion itself! Nice job Joel and Nicole!
i bet alex is a silly little boy that sits in his room making stupid comments about people that have more then him just 2 make him feel better about himself! bet he plays world of warcraft 2!!!
I don't see why people can't just shut up and stop judging
God, Joel not only looks retarded but probly is..
no wonder he married a heroin addict who gets knocked up twice.. gross..
Like its her birthday
Nicole has quiet down a whole lot since meeting and having a family with Joel. It is a wonderful gesture that her Dad, Lionel Richie was able to give her the wedding of her dreams.
I love Nicole Richie i mean Madden! She has changed so much ever since she became a mommy thats how its suppose to be not being a bad mom & whoreing around
congrates i still don't like her but at least he's happy
