From time to time you'll need to sniff and reverse engineer certain things, e.g. I am wanting to packet sniff all instant messages (MSN, AIM, IRC, Facebook Meesages, FbIM, etc).
It is possible to put together an advanced devices using linux, iptables, etc, however most people already got a fairly useful device - the dd-wrt or openwrt based router/firewall.
In case you got a DD-WRT or OpenWrt-based router/firewall, then you should be able to use one of the following one liner example command lines:
Simple packet sniffing on the switch
ssh -x firstname.lastname@example.com

root@DD-WRT:~# tcpdump -i br0
Simple packet sniffing on port 3 of the switch
ssh -x firstname.lastname@example.com

root@DD-WRT:~# tcpdump -i vlan13

Packet sniffing as a single remote command. Note that full path to executables and library is required
ssh -x email@example.com /sbin/tcpdump 'not tcp port 22' -i br0

Remote command packet sniffing with raw packet dump to a local file.
This command will do a remote packet capture on the switch and save the raw packet data on the local PC, where it can be analysed with Wireshark or other tools.
ssh -x email@example.com /sbin/tcpdump 'not tcp port 22' -i br0 -s0 -U -w - > dump.pcap

If you're using linux on your PC then you can pipe the raw tcpdump capture into a Wireshark running on the local PC and get live analysis of the data
ssh -x firstname.lastname@example.com /sbin/tcpdump 'not tcp port 22' -i br0 -s0 -U -w - | wireshark -k -i -

And, my favorite, piping the raw packet data into Etherape for a live graphical representation of the network traffic
ssh -x email@example.com /sbin/tcpdump 'not tcp port 22' -i br1 -s0 -U -w - | etherape -r -

What is DD-WRT DD-WRT is a Linux-based firmware for several wireless routers, most notably the Linksys WRT54G (including the WRT54GL and WRT54GS). Like other similar projects, DD-WRT is third-party firmware designed to replace the firmware that ships pre-installed on many commercial routers. This is done for a variety of reasons including the addition of features which are not typically included in a manufacturer's router firmware. DD-WRT includes such features as support for the Kai network, daemon-based services, IPv6, Wireless Distribution System, RADIUS, advanced quality of service, radio output power control, overclocking capability, and software support for a Secure Digital card hardware modification. Buffalo Technology and other companies have shipped routers pre-installed with a customized version of DD-WRT.
What is OpenWrt OpenWrt is a Linux distribution primarily targeted at routing on embedded devices. It comprises a set of about 2000 software packages, installed and uninstalled via the opkg package management system. OpenWrt can be configured using the command-line interface of BusyBox ash, or the web interface LuCI. OpenWrt can be run on CPE routers, residential gateways, smartphones (e.g. Neo FreeRunner), pocket computers (e.g. Ben NanoNote), and small laptops (e.g. One Laptop per Child (OLPC)). But it is also possible to run on ordinary computers (e.g. x86).
List of devices with built-in sniffing support can be found here: http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/start and http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices.

With big-name stars and early Oscar buzz over Steve Carell's performance as a conflicted banker, "The Big Short" is generating both hype and mixed reviews."The Big Short" deploys its considerable star power – including Brad Pitt, Christian Bale and Ryan Gosling – to untangle the crisis through the skillful telling of very human stories.The film is well-stocked with satirical characterizations.The Hollywood Reporter described the film "wearisome" and "far overlong".The Oscar prediction site Goldderby.com puts Carell among the 10 actors most likely to win the acting award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

I got this email after a fun but long day coaching in the rain. All the way from New Zealand! I am stoked to be helping him and stoked for him to be so darn cool.
"Hi Gene
My name is Dino Rutten and i am 11 years old . I started downhill last year and rode my hardtail school bike in 4 competitions which was really challenging as i only had v brakes. Mum said i had to do the season on my old bike to see if i was keen so i rode really hard and for xmas i got a second hand softail a marin quake 7.2 2008 which i love. I have just done the Raboplus series and came 6th in the under 15s at the Nationals so I cant wait for next season. We dont have a downhill club here so my mum has just started one called Gravity downhill club and she has just got us some land to build tracks in, its really cool. There are about 12 boys some big like 19 who have joined up and now we need a coach. So your riding tips is really helping me to be a good rider. I have lots of pictures of Greg Minnaar on my bedroom wall and i think he could nail Sam Hill any day.
Thank you
How cool is that! The kid's hero is Greg Minnaar! A much better role model than my hero when I was Dino's age (Evel Knievel) and not some rugby player or soccer player. Dino you are the coolest 11 year old I haven't met (which makes you the coolest 11 year old in the world as I don't know any 11 year old kids)

With the holidays in full swing, the invitations to soirees and gatherings have begun to arrive. That means we need a closet full of party-ready threads that leave us feeling comfortable and confident as we walk out the door.
tAs a plus-size woman, I know how exhausting it can be to walk the mall in search of the perfect outfit, so I've put together three looks to give you some ideas and alleviate some of the stress.
t Before we get into the looks, be aware that when it comes to shopping for events (or anything, really), it helps to have a plan! When shopping in person, you need to know what you want (while still being flexible), and you should be prepared to try some things on. When ordering online, you should order multiple sizes. Also, while some argue that wearing something formfitting helps you cut back on calories, the reality is that Thanksgiving is a day of thanks and a day of food — so save the formfitting outfits for another time! That said, whether you are looking to make a statement or you just like feeling cute and cozy, here are some great options that will make wonderful additions to your fall wardrobe and have you looking terrific on Turkey Day.
Outfit 1: Casual chic
t Lane Bryant Sweater (sold out)
tCalvin Klein Women's Bellita Wide Calf Boots (Macy's, $139)
tStyle&co Plus Size Coated Skinny Pants (Macy's, $42)
tJewelry from BaubleBar
t If you are playing hostess with the mostess this holiday season, it's important that you look put together but wear something practical. You don't want to look disheveled while welcoming your guests, but a formal gown definitely won't cut it when you're cutting the turkey. Opt for something like this gorgeous sweater with skinny jeans or leggings. I love the length of this sweater when paired with bottoms that will give you the room you need to move around and get your party prepared.
Outfit 2: Vintage darling
t Akin to Audrey Dress in Black (ModCloth, $43)
t Glitterings Ring Set, Black Stone and Flower Stackable Rings (Macy's, $35)
t Nadri Raindrop Chandelier Earrings (Bloomingdale's, $125)
t Joan & David Cicilee Pump (Nordstrom, $180)
t Kurt Geiger London Britton Ultra Pump (Nordstrom, $385)
t For those who are attending a Thanksgiving feast and who won't have to worry about working too hard, I recommend a dainty dress like this one. ModCloth has lots of fabulous vintage cuts that you can customize, and they look absolutely adorable. Add sleeves, change lengths and do whatever else you want to make them your own. Pair this dress with some killer heels in a complementary color or shade — or something showstopping like red — and bring this outfit to life! A pop of color with your shoes makes a wonderful statement and adds a little dimension to an all-black look like this one.
t Of course, no outfit is complete without accessories. I love this vintage-inspired look and how this dress can be versatile when worn day to night and to other occasions.
Outfit 3: Daring diva
t House of Harlow 1960 Gypsy Feather Necklace in Gold (Boutique to You, $154)
t Valentino Scalloped Pump (Nordstrom, $895)
t Calvin Klein Plus Size Long-Sleeve Sequin Sweater (Macy's, $110)
t Jones New York Collection Plus Size Skirt, Ruffled A-Line (Macy's, $94)
t Lulu Frost Solar Bracelet (J.Crew, $288)
t Nadri Polished Metal Button Stud Earrings (Bloomingdale's, $40)
t I love making a statement. If you do, too, then this Calvin Klein sweater and these fabulous heels are just right for you. Everyone needs a great holiday sweater they can throw on at a moment's notice and that can take them anywhere. This combination has just the right amount of sophistication and class without being too formal. I love the trendy accents and bold color choices.
t I'd love to see what you decide to wear to your Thanksgiving celebration! Tweet me a pic @themarcyminute or upload one to Instagram and hashtag #sheknowstyle! Happy shopping!

Gonzo Radio Shows
As many readers of this magazine may have gathered, about twenty five years ago my first wife and I worked for Steve Harley and his band Cockney Rebel, running their fanclub. As a result, between 1989 and 1994 we went on tour with the band selling their T Shirts and tour programmes as well as our own wares.
The 1990 tour was a particularly ni8ce oine, and I ended up writing abook aboput it , stylistically based upon Robert Greenfield's seminal account of the Rolling Stones' 1971 tour of North America. Telling it as I saw it, I was rather impressed with the resulting book, but it magaged to offend so many of the prople involved with the touring party that we were soon asked to leave, our contract was terminated. And we never worked for them again. Ho Hum!
One of the members of the touring party whom I truly missed however, was a lanky tecchie called Roy who did arcane things with the mixing desk and the lighting. He was truly one of the nicest people that I have ever met in the music business, and for years I was sad that we had lost touch.
Fast forward a couple of decades, and—together with my nephew David—I was in Brighton to film what turned out to be one of Mick Farren's last shows and interviews before his untimely death.
Even four years ago my mobility was getting severely limited, and I needed some considerable help to get up the winding stairs in the pub where the gig was being held.
When we finally reached our destination, I was very aware (and somewhat embarrassed) to be panting noidily like an out of breath spaniel. I felt like everybody in the room was looking at me, which of course they weren't.
Then, however, everyone in the room was looking at me, as I saw a lanky fellow with long blonde hair leaning over the mixing desk.
"FUCKING HELL, IT'S ROY!" I shouted, withoput meaning to, and - leaning on my stick - hobbled over to re-introduce myself after a break of twenty years.
And, believe it or not, we took up pretty well where we had left off twenty years before.
We worked together on the publication of his autobiography for Gonzo Multimedia, and he agreed to write a regular column for this very magazine. And that brings things just about up to date.
Except it doesn't. Roy has recently released a smashing new solo album, and I was so impressed that I rang him up to talk to him about it.

Roy Weard Biography
Roy Weard was born in Barking, then a part of Essex, in 1948. He spent most of the mid-sixties through to the mid seventies involved first in folk music and then in the psychedelic hippie scene. He toured with many bands in various capacities from T-Shirt seller to sound engineer, production manager and tour manager. He was involved in several bands of his own, played at many of the iconic free festivals, made three full length albums and two singles, wrote for music magazines, computer magazines and produced copious MySpace blogs. He has lived all over London, spent four years in Hamburg, Germany and finally settled in Brighton where he now resides. He has four children, two from an earlier relationship and two from his current marriage, and three grandchildren. He still sings in a rock and roll band, promotes gigs, does a weekly radio show and steadfastly refuses to act his age. This is his story.

There's a saying that has been shared in sports for several years now: If you want to win championships, you have to do champion sh—well, you get where I'm going with this. Put simply, if you want serious results, you have to do serious work.
To get big arms, you'd better be ready to push yourself to new levels of intensity. This beasts-only arm workout is going to hurt—but time spent talking is time wasted. Let's get to work!
Technique Keys
Barbell or EZ-Bar Curl
Choose whichever exercise will work best for you based on preference or the equipment you have available. This is a 5-minute AMRAP, so take that into consideration when choosing your bar, especially since you'll be loading a weight that you'd normally do for no more than 10 reps. Hey, I told you this workout is a beast!
Set a timer or watch a clock. Once you start, you have 5 minutes to get as many reps as you possible can. Curl to failure, rest for a few seconds, then go again. When you resume, pick up the count where you left off. You want to go all out during your working interval, so set the bar down and rest completely when you need it, but only so you can pick that bar right back up a few seconds later. Don't even think about a target rep range. Just go.
When that 5 minutes is up, rest for 2 minutes.
Lying Triceps Extension
What you just did for the curls is what you will do again here. If you have elbow issues, make sure your elbows are warmed up before you start, or choose another movement, like close-grip bench or dips instead. Just make sure to pick a movement you can do for the full 5 minutes—the goal is growth, not injury!
Once again, choose a heavy weight you can only do for about 10 reps before failure. Then, just start your clock and go, unleashing that beast within you to dominate the bar. After your 5 minutes are up, rest for a solid 2 minutes.
Superset: Alternate Dumbbell Curl and Floor Dumbbell Press
Next, you'll knock out a superset with dumbbells, forcing each arm to work independently. If you prefer to save time on the curls, you can work both arms at once rather than alternating.
As soon as you finish your first set of curls, hit the floor and go straight into floor presses. Hold the dumbbells in a neutral or hammer grip, letting your elbows stop on the floor to keep the emphasis on the triceps. Take 2 minutes to rest between supersets, and complete 4 total rounds.
Giant Set: Lying Cable Curls, Standing Cable Curls, Overhead Cable Extension, and Triceps Press-down
Giant arms require giant sets, and with this onslaught of heavy cable-focused arm exercises, you'll be busting those shirt sleeves in no time! You'll basically live at the cable station for this giant set. Pick the handle you like best because you'll use it for all four exercises. If you have any doubts, just use the rope.
Set the pulley to the bottom and lie on the floor to perform the first set of curls. After 10-12 reps, stand up and do 10-12 standing curls. Now, move your attachment up top. Face away for the overhead triceps extensions, then spin back around and finish the set with your basic triceps press-downs. Complete 4 giant sets just like that, taking only 90 seconds of rest in between. Once you finish this monster set, you'll have an arm pump like nothing you've ever felt before.

This poll is better than most, though it could have done without the subjective flourishes. A proper examination of this poll should consider the following:"No abortions, life begins at conception" is impossible for any thinking person to select. There are a lot of reasons to not like abortions, but "life begins at conception" is not one of them. Including this as the only reason to favor "No abortions, ever" does a disservice to hardcore antiabortionists who are, as often as not, driven by motives that have nothing at all to do with the health of the child."No restrictions, a woman's body is her choice" - this is of course the correct answer, notwithstanding the sanctimonious nod to women's rights. Exactly why will become clear through a discussion of the remaining items."No abortions after viability outside the womb." - Truthfully, I want to agree with this. But who defines viable? Does a child diagnosed in-utero with cyclopia count as viable? Antiabortion radicals don't want to recognize any exceptions to this and will reflexively invoke Gosnell as the Patron Saint of Late Term Abortions. Gosnell doesn't deserve the credit. And the doctors and mothers who find themselves forced to consider the possibility don't deserve the comparison."No abortions after the first heart beat" - that option is nice and clear so I have no comments there other than it is a mistaken attempt to equate "life" with observations of a particular physical process as deep in the brainstem (and therefore maximally separated from what we know as "consciousness") as a beating heart. If one personally imagines the heartbeat as being the spark of life, no one's going to stop them, and I suspect that the lack of scientific validity for their feelings is going to make a lot of difference. "No abortions after 20 weeks" - again, an option that is unambiguous - good - though it reflects another arbitrary definition of "life" with no scientific basis for why abortions before 20 weeks are better than those after. See "bleeding heart radical antiabortionist 'feelings'" above.This issue should be very simple for small-government conservatives to process. This is not a decision for big-government regulators to control. Abortion is a private matter between a woman, her doctor, and her partner (in that order). Note the lack of "government" in there. The infrastructure for that transaction to occur is already in place and (at least it was) properly regulated to ensure the public health. To support the anti-abortion movement is to want the government to put up walls between private citizens, their doctors, and the proper delivery of health care under a well-regulated capitalist framework. It runs contrary to everything else they say they're for.I wish I knew what was really behind the anti-abortion movement. In all anti-abortion arguments there is undercurrent desire to punish the mother. To make her submit to God's will, as often as not. I think what a lot of these folks really want is a Sex-Law. Banning sex outside of marriage, or something like that. It's creepy that these people are so focused on the proper use, care and maintenance of bodily functions.

Opinion: Why it's time to sell your Porscheby Garage Mike February 4, 2016
Call 911, the world's gone mad. At some point over the last few years, Porsches (both modern and classic) have become slightly more sought-after than The Holy Grail.
The classic car market in general has gone berserk, with values of some models rising 300-400% in the space of half a decade, but for some reason Porsches have been particularly affected.
At the time of writing, there is a 2010 997 GT2 RS for sale in Queensland for – are you sitting down? – $949,000. Yes, this is a supremely rare – just 500 built – and desirable Porsche, however that price is $390,000 more than it cost brand new!
Don't think the 'regular' GT2 has escaped unscathed, either. Of the four for sale online the cheapest 997 is $550,000 (these were $447,000 new) and the sole 996 is $450,000. Five years ago, a mint 997 GT2 could be yours for under $300K.
It's a similar story with the naturally-aspirated GT3 RS. At the time of writing, there are three 997.2 911 GT3 RSs easily found for sale online, the cheapest being $478,000, the most expensive $550,000.
Now, the GT3 RS is a brilliant car, one of Porsche's greats and MOTOR's 2010 Performance Car of the Year, but it cost $387,000 when new – aren't cars meant to depreciate as they get older?
The obvious culprit for this explosion is the fact that Porsche no longer make a manual 911 GT car, but how then to explain the sole 'used' 991 GT3 RS (it has 400km on the clock) wearing a $650,000 sticker?
It seems that if your 911 is wearing a GT or an RS badge it might as well be made out of solid diamond.
But hang on, I've just punched 993 into the search engine. As the last of the air-cooled 911s, it's always occupied a special place in the hearts and minds of Porsche purists, but prices have recently exploded.
Want a clean Carrera? You'll need $150,000. A tidy Turbo? That'll be between $350,000-400,000, a car that five years ago you could have picked up for around a third that amount.
While these prices seem absurd given what similar cars were fetching a handful of years ago, any car is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it, so if you can sell it for twice what you paid, good luck to you.
However, as prices skyrocket the cars affected will be increasingly seen as investments rather than something to enjoy, which means all enthusiasts will be deprived of seeing these beautiful machines in their natural habitat – on the road or racetrack.
Thankfully, there is still value to be found in the Porsche world. Clean 996 Turbos are creeping up, but still relatively affordable (around $110K) given their durability and the outrageous performance on offer. Silly roof aside, the 987-series Boxster Spyder is also brilliant at similar money.
While Porsches have been the topic of this piece, as mentioned at the top of the article the classic car market in general has gone crazy, with any classic or limited edition Ferrari, Mercedes or Lamborghini skyrocketing in value.
The whole thing has more than a whiff of the mid-Noughties Aussie muscle car boom about it, a time when values of local classics soared for no reason other than everyone seemed to want a piece of the action.
I could be wrong, but I suspect the market will at some point undergo a significant adjustment. As with any bubble picking when it's going to burst is nigh impossible, but in the meantime, if you're about to buy a car that was worth half as much a few years ago, it might be worth asking yourself why.

Fundraising fashion show for Bantay Bata 163's 20th year
A grand spectacle of Filipino-made couture takes center stage as Lifestyle TV airs the Bantay Bata 163 20th Anniversary Special, a fundraising event featuring renowned international designer Rocky Gathercole, this Saturday (September 9).
The Hollywood-famous fashion artist, known for dressing big celebrities such as Katy Perry, Paris Hilton, Lady Gaga and Britney Spears, showcased his avant-garde designs in the one night affair held recently at the Philippine International Convention Center.
Guests were treated to an ultra-chic fashion show with Kapamilya stars Ian Veneracion and Bea Alonzo joining models on the runway wearing designs made by the Dubai-based couturier. The "A Love to Last" actress wore a stunning, show-stopping gown from the celebrity designer's wedding collection.
Aside from the sneak peek to the best works of Rocky's atalier, performances from Darren Espanto, Martin Nievera, and Sharon Cuneta, together with the ABS-CBN Philharmonic Orchestra and Maestro Gerard Salonga, also made the evening one-of-its-kind.
The Bantay Bata 163's anniversary dinner and show was presented by Metro Society and Lifestyle TV, in cooperation with Pass-It-Forward and Quezon City Government, to raise money and awareness about its new projects. Bantay Bata 163 is one of the three flagship programs of the ABS-CBN Lingkod Kapamilya Foundation, Inc.'s (ALKFI) for the Filipino children.
Watch The Bantay Bata 20th Anniversary Special on "Lifestyle Presents" this Saturday (September 9) at 10pm, with replays on Sunday (Sept. 10) at 9am and 8pm. Lifestyle TV is available on SkyCable and Destiny Cable channel 52, and Sky Direct channel 31.

Had a great day today at The Royal Winchester Golf Club, nice weather, good company (thanks Pete, Doug and Paul) and reasonable golf. The course was in excellent condition, particularly the greens and bunkers and we had an unobstructed round.
At first, we were a little confused by the directional mowing of the fairways which made them look half as wide as they really were but after a couple of holes we got used to it.
Luckily for us, the round was part of a reciprocal arrangement included in our membership of Shanklin & Sandown Golf Club which meant it was free of charge.
We only managed to chat to a few members but were made to feel very welcome. I very much look forward to visiting again – the only problem with that is we have another 10 or so reciprocal clubs to visit!

My name is Elizabeth B., and I am the author. Welcome to The Sprite Knight! May you wander peacefully through my ramblings on art, literature, video games, and life, knowing that not all who wander are lost.
As for me, I am a Virginian, born and raised. I still reside in the Washington, DC area where I work as a framer and graphic designer. In my spare time, I write, draw, read, frolic, and play copious amounts of video games. I studied English literature and creative writing as well as traditional and digital art and animation, partially because I am a very creative and studious individual and partially because I'm terribly indecisive. You might say that I'm overly fond of cats, mountain drives, and Japanese snacks. You might say other things as well, but that would damage my meticulously-crafted air of mystique. Suffice it to say I have battled dark wizards and radioactive reptiles and emerged the victor.

The U.S. Supreme Court handed out two victories for gay rights, as it struck down Section 3 of the reviled Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and sent backers of California's Proposition 8 packing.
The DOMA victory was woefully incomplete, and like yesterday's ruling on the Voting Rights Act (VRA), the scope of its effect is defined by the interplay of two separate sections of the law. The decision is a victory for equal protection; it is also another step forward for federalism. Between the deference to states' rights and roles shown in the DOMA opinion, and the narrow ruling in the California Prop 8 case, for now at least, the obvious result is that the benefits of yesterday's decisions depend heavily on the state in which a person lives.
That is not good news for Texas. A brief analysis of Justice Kennedy's opinion shows why.
To see why, read below the jump. Until yesterday, Section 3 of DOMA set out a federal definition of marriage: "only a legal union between one man and one woman as hus¬band and wife, and the word 'spouse' refers only to a person of the opposite sex who is a husband or a wife." The court ruled that this section was unconstitutional. Section 2, however, which was not challenged, and which survives yesterday's opinion, leaves it to the individual states to decide whether or not to recognize same-sex marriage.
Yesterday's ruling means that if a couple in a same-sex marriage lives in New York, for instance, a state which recognizes same-sex marriage, they are eligible to receive not only state-level benefits, but also federal-level benefits – think Social Security survivor benefits, federal employee retirement benefits, the marital deduction from the federal estate tax. If a couple in a similar relationship lives in Texas, which does not recognize same-sex marriage, the federal government will not recognize them. In short, any interpretation of federal language concerning the definition of spouse or marriage must specifically refer to the laws of the state in which the person or the couple lives.
Indeed, writing for the majority, Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote the following:
"What has been explained to this point should more than suffice to establish that the principal purpose and the necessary effect of this law are to demean those persons who are in a lawful same-sex marriage."
"The class to which DOMA directs its restrictions and restraints are those persons who are joined in same-sex marriages made lawful by the State."
"By seeking to displace this protection and treating those persons as living in marriages less respected than others, the federal statute is in violation of the Fifth Amendment. This opinion and its holding are confined to those lawful marriages."
Kennedy did make equal protection arguments on behalf of striking down Section 3 of DOMA, and even referred to Texas in doing so:
"This places same-sex couples in an unstable position of being in a second-tier marriage. The differentiation demeans the couple, whose moral and sexual choices the Constitution protects, see Lawrence [v. Texas], 539 U. S. 558, and whose relationship the State has sought to dignify. And it humiliates tens of thousands of children now being raised by same-sex couples. The law in question makes it even more difficult for the children to understand the integrity and closeness of their own family and its concord with other families in their community and in their daily lives."
He also wrote about the financial harms, access to social security benefits, and problems applying for student loans, stemming from DOMA.
However, he did not recognize in the Constitution an unequivocal right to marriage for same-sex couples. He stopped short, writing that once a state has determined that persons may be married or belong to the class of married persons, all persons in that class must receive equal protections of the law. Because DOMA served to undermine that, DOMA should be struck down. Kennedy did not extend that same equal protection to persons whose right to marry has not yet been recognized by the states in which they live.
As a result, same-sex couples in Texas still cannot take advantage of the marital deduction for purposes of the federal estate tax, cannot receive survivor benefits for social security, and cannot enjoy the same protections from violence or domestic abuse that are part of federal law. Further, same-sex couples who relocate to Texas from states such as New York will reside in a legal grey area in everything from spousal hospital visits to division of property in a divorce (how can you divorce if the court can't accept that you've ever been married?)
Kennedy's ruling seems confusing for several reasons, not least of which is the reference to and reliance on Loving v. Virginia, 338 U.S. 1 (1967). Much of Kennedy's opinion rests on the premise that regulation of marriage is the province of the states. However, Loving is the seminal U.S. Supreme Court case which struck down state-level anti-miscegenation laws once and for all. Moreover, as he condemned DOMA, Kennedy wrote that DOMA imposed a disadvantage, a separate status, and a stigma on same-sex couples. He further disapproved of two contradictory marriage regimes within a single state.
Yesterday's opinion is a victory for much of the rest of the country. For Texas, however, there is still a long road ahead.

FERRUM, VA-Though both Hampden-Sydney and Ferrum recorded six hits, the Panthers were able to score five more runs as they took a 7-2 win over the Tigers on Thursday night. With the loss, Hampden-Sydney falls to 7-13 on the season while the Panthers improve to 16-8.
Ferrum was able to score two of its seven runs in the bottom of the first inning to take an early 2-0 lead. The lead was expanded upon when Ferrum added a run in the third.
Hampden-Sydney broke its drought in the fourth to make it a 3-1 game. Patrick Kuhns (Stafford, VA/North Stafford) led off the inning with a walk and was later batted in by Andrew Tucker (Fincastle, VA/James River).
Junior starter Aaron Van Allen (Danville, VA/Tunstall) did his part to keep the Tigers in the game pitching three scoreless innings, but the Tigers could not capitalize before Ferrum added two more runs in the seventh.
Allan Brownell (Herndon, VA/Herndon) scored for the Tigers in the eighth, but Ferrum responded with two more runs for its final lead of the night.
Beau Flinchum (Ashland, VA/Hanover) led the Tiger bats with two hits.
Van Allen took the loss after allowing three runs on just three hits in six innings. Garrett Birnbaum (Moseley, VA/Cosby) gave up two runs on one hit in an inning, and Billy Nixon (Sedley, VA/Southampton) allowed two hits on two runs.
Ferrum's Chris Madison was the winning pitcher allowing one run on four hits in six innings.
Hampden-Sydney will return home this Saturday as it hosts Washington & Lee in an ODAC double header starting at 12:00 pm.

3 Important Pointers To Help You Find How To Get Top Ranking On Search Engines
Couple of years ago, getting visible on search engines was not at all a big deal. All you needed to do is – select a domain, get registered, learn basic HTML coding, carry out some basic keyword research, create Meta and title tags, and develop relevant content. That's it. However, in accordance with the latest updates by search engines a website has to meet a number of criteria to get high ranking these days. They are – authenticity, quality and usability of a website and many more. Here are some useful tips given below that will help you know how to get top ranking on search engines.
- Learning and applying marketing basics
Regardless of the introduction of various catchphrases, latest paradigms, troublesome technologies and innovations, SEO (Search Engine Optimization) at its core is no more than a marketing technique. Applying this technique without proper planning is like propelling a boat without blades. It will either take you to a wrong direction, or drown you. So, before you make use of SEO, you need to consider some crucial things. They are – conducting proper research, segmenting your target audience, setting pragmatic goals and at last ensuring that tracking is running perfectly. This will help you in measuring your efforts vs. the consequences. Moreover, you should also plan your content, effectively.
- Structuring your website
Though the tip given above covers the most part of an effective SEO, but there are other ways too. Business owners should plan their websites for topical or relevant expertise. The websites should be easy and user-friendly, in terms of navigation. Siloed content is very important for both business owners and visitors. The formers can particularly explain their products or services if the content is distinct and the latter can easily find what they are looking for. This increases the credibility of the websites, hence making them more visible.
- Designing for multiple platforms
All business owners should keep in mind that, things have changes drastically. Desktop dominance has become an old chapter. Now, everything has shifted to 'On the Go', even businesses. This is why, developing a user-friendly website that runs properly on mobile devices is very crucial now a day. In simple words, websites should be customised for different devices. Moreover, search engines always go after the best practices, when it comes to raking the websites. And customized website is really one of the best practices.
These are some of the most important tips, when it comes to answering how to get top ranking on search engines. So, every business owner who wants to be present in the list of high-ranking websites should make sure to apply them. Otherwise, you are more likely to lag behind in the race.Yuri Shatalov

California Labor Code 132(a) makes it illegal for an employer to take adverse action or differential treatment against an employee who has filed a workers' compensation claim. Adverse action can include a variety of actions, including firing or demotion. An employer who takes any type of adverse action against an employee who has filed or is about to file a workers' compensation claim can expect that employee to soon file a suit under 132(a). In order to be successful with this type of case, an employee must prove: 1) he filed or expressed an intention to file a workers' compensation claim before the adverse action was taken; 2) the employer took adverse action, such as firing, threatening to fire, or otherwise discriminated against the employee; and 3) the employer acted this way as a direct result of the employee's work-related injury or workers' compensation claim.
Proving that an employer's action is differential treatment is obviously essential for an employee to be successful in a 132(a) claim. The California Supreme Court articulated a particular standard for this in Dep't of Rehabilitation v. WCAB (Lauher), 30Cal. 4th 1281 (2003). In that case, the California Supreme Court held that it is not enough in a 132(a) case for an employee to demonstrate that he or she suffered a negative consequence from the employer's actions. Rather, the employee must show that the employer discriminated against the employee, meaning it showed differential treatment based on the work-related injury. For example, if an employee shows that he or she suffered an adverse consequence due to a change in company policy, this would not be sufficient to succeed in a 132(a) case. An employee would need to show that the policy was changed or applied in such a way that the employee suffered differential treatment because of the work-related injury.
The case of Gelson's Markets, Inc. v. WCAB is a case that applied the Lauher standard. In that case, an employee filed for discrimination because the employer refused to allow the employee to return to work after receiving a doctor's release that was not entirely accurate. The court ultimately found that the action was not discriminatory because the employer would not have treated an employee who was not suffering from a work-related injury any differently.
If you have questions about 132(a) and differential treatment, contact me today at (714) 516-8188. This area of law is complex, and I have extensive experience helping my clients and their businesses.

Leveraging SOA for Distributed Test and Evaluation: ''To SOA or Not to SOA, That Is the Question''
August 2008
Can Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) support distributed Test and Evaluation (T&E)? When will SOAs be suitable to support distributed testing data management requirements? What are the benefits of modernizing instrumentation to use an SOA for testing? Can SOAs improve reliability and composability of distributed T&E capabilities? These are just some of the questions that are being addressed in an ongoing Office of the Secretary of Defense distributed test infrastructure assessment that includes a study called ''Applicability of Service- Oriented Architecture (SOA) to Distributed Testing Infrastructure.''
This article will give an overview of this quantitative/qualitative study and the Community of Interest being formed to support the study. In addition, the article will describe how the Netcentric Systems Test (NST) reference architecture developed under the T&E/Science & Technology NST focus area sponsored by the Test Resource Management Center is being used as a collaboration point to determine which T&E mission processes to consider in developing a use case for the study.

Former president Nicephore Soglo has been elected mayor of Benin's economic capital, Cotonou. Another opposition leader, Adrien Houngbedji, is now mayor of the administrative capital, Porto Novo. Houngbedji is also speaker of the National Assembly.
The two opposition leaders were voted in on Thursday by their respective councils, whose members were elected at municipal polls in December 2002.
Soglo became Benin's head of state in 1991 after beating the incumbent, Matthieu Kerekou, at the country's first multiparty presidential elections following years of single-party rule. However, Kerekou won the polls in 1996 and again in 2002.
Soglo said after his election by 41 of Cotonou's 45 councillors that his priorities would include fighting pollution, cleaning up Cotonou through adequate waste management and improving drainage.

Work spaces near Central Square
moving to new house…
how can I own so much stuff?
thank gods for craigslist
In a desperate desire to escape the realm of boxes, I sally forth into my new neighborhood in search of the perfect workspace. A few years ago I was debating whether to rent a cubicle at a local co-working space, but realized that for the same money I could spend my time in a place that was more comfortable and I could get coffee and food in the bargain: the local coffee shop.
Coffee shops are not perfect. They lack anywhere to make phone calls or hold business meetings, but they are still pretty great if you want to sit somewhere and write code. Soon Cambridge will have its own entrepreneurs' coffee shop, but until then, I'm on the lookout for my new office.
Central square has plenty of coffee shops. Normally I like to find one that works for me and stay there all day. Today I will be visiting a number of them to see which one will be my regular hangout.
First stop: Cafe Luna
Probably the cutest of my visits today, this little coffee shop has a lovely tile floor, dark wood bar with bar stools, and a cozy feel. The also have outdoor seating, which would be great in this weather if I didn't need to plug in or see my computer screen. I chose a table by the window right next to an outlet. The windows fold open completely, so I am looking out of a 10′ wide space onto the pedestrian courtyard. The only buildings in view are brick, including a fire station and a building with lovely copper patina. The café's espresso is decent and they have a good variety of food (breakfast sandwiches, muffins, panini, salads, wraps, soups, sweets). I am currently enjoying a macchiato and a grilled egg and cheese croissant. NB: grilling a croissant smushes it into almost paper-thin buttery-flakey-goodness that looks like a tire tread.
At first I thought there might not be internet here…what else could explain the fact that half the seats inside are empty? But their internet works fine, so they must have some other deep dark secret. Built on an ancient Indian burial ground? Skeletons in the bathroom? Werewolves behind the counter? I don't know, but since I plan on spending plenty of time here, I'll tell you when I find out. While I'd love to stay, I am determined to stick to my agenda and visit a variety of potential work-spaces today.
Second stop: Andala
Great outdoor seating under a trellice where I can sit now, since my battery is fully charged. A nice menu with sandwiches, pastries, soups, hummus, and juices, all with a middle-eastern flavor. The inside has multiple rooms which work well for entrepreneurs; in one room I saw some people working on laptops while in another there was a group of four discussing the creation of a dating website. They have a decor that is comfortable and interesting, with carved wood and oriental rugs. They don't have very many outlets, but it's not crowded so that doesn't seem to be a problem.
I'm on the internet and all is going according to plan. There are plenty of seats available inside, so this seems to be another great option for a regular hangout.
Third stop: Clear Conscience Cafe (C3)
This coffee shop is at the front of a food coop, so you can write, code, and get your week's shopping done all in one place. It's near and dear to my heart because they have organic ingredients and fair trade coffee. (Coffee is the second largest industry in the world second only to oil, yet the average coffee grower does not make a living and many live under "extreme poverty" — less than $1/day. If I'm going to spend $3/day on something, why not also help the world's poor?)
The C3 has the usual sandwiches, salads, soups, pastries, smoothies, and cafe drinks. The space is fairly utilitarian, but has quite a few small tables as well as couches and a few five-tops. They also have plenty of outlets.
The limiting factor here is the wireless. You can only use it for one hour, then they deny access. So while this is a great place for meetings or work that does not demand that we hook the internet into our intravenous system, I probably won't use it as my daily hangout. I will, however, fully enjoy my organic blueberry-raspberry-strawberry-banana smoothie. Mmmmmmm….
Fourth stop: 1369
Here I am at 1369, which has more outlets per square inch than anywhere I've ever seen. They literally have an outlet every six inches on one wall, and an outlet every 12 inches on the other. (You know those people who say "literally" when they mean "figuratively but with emphasis"? I'm not one of those people.) 1369′s menu is somewhat limited, consisting mostly of coffee drinks and pastries, but they do have a couple of sandwiches and some pre-wrapped salads.
The wireless appears to be for pay only, which I don't mind doing if I'm going to be coming to the same place all the time…but having a limited menu becomes tiresome after a couple of weeks. I will admit that I'm surprised that this particular coffee shop is not matching up in comparison to other local cafes; I know many people who have a great love for 1369.
Last stop: Carberry's
I've been to Carberry's before, but figured it would be good to go again, this time with documentation. So here I am. I remember their sandwiches being great, with their own baked breads, and they also bake their own muffins, scones, & croissants. It's a sunny and airy place, but has a bit of a warehouse feel with metal tables and large metal ducts visible overhead.
Carberry's also requires one to pay for wireless. I really have been happy to pay for my wireless at Diesel Cafe in Davis square (where I've been working for the last six months or so), but I don't want to pay a wireless fee at multiple places, and I don't think this is the long-term place for me. It's just not my vibe.
Next day stop: Mariposa Bakery
I love this little café. They are very open about their devotion to all things organic, fair trade, and local. They even have organic fair trade sugar for your coffee — "from small farmers…with love" say the little packets. The wood beam ceiling is high overhead, sporting two nice skylights to let in the sun. They have all the café drinks you could ask for, as well as sandwiches, salads, muffins & scones, and plenty of breakfast foods (even waffles!).
This café is fairly spacious; they could definitely fit many more tables than they have. With 10 tables and a two-sided bar that seats six, they could easily seat 30 now, and they could easily add another four tables if they chose. I look forward to trying their sandwiches on a day when I don't need the internet. That is their only downside, but for those in search of an office, it is a big one.
Unmentioned: Starbucks & Au Bon Pain
I'm not even going to cover these, because everyone already knows exactly what to expect from them, and I just don't like the chain feel. There's one of each in the square.
I am extremely happy to find that there are two absolutely great coffee shop workspaces in Central! It may appear that I am choosing free wireless over paid wireless, but the truth is that even if there were free wireless at 1369 or Carberry's I still wouldn't choose either one as a regular place to work. 1369 has too limited a menu, and Carberry's makes me feel like I'm working, instead of being some creative bohemian indie.
The summary
Tied for first place: Luna Cafe and Andala Cafe
Great menus, free wireless, not packed during work hours, atmospheres/decor that inspires, and very nice outdoor seating.
C3 and Mariposa get bonus awards for organic & fair trade ingredients;
Carberry's gets a bonus award for baking their own breads & pastries;
1369 gets a bonus award for having some interesting history with Cambridge that I don't know about.

A. Unfortunately, what your real estate broker is telling you is correct. VA loans, which are basically FHA loans, are only approved for houses and condominiums. The same applies to FHA loans.
If you do plan on using your VA or FHA loan for a condominium, you must make sure it is on the approved list, which can be checked at benefits.va.gov.
Q. I'm planning on putting my house on the market. What can I do to make it more attractive to buyers?
A. There are a lot of simple things that will make your home more appealing. Make sure to use high-wattage light bulbs, and keep shades and curtains open when showing during that day. Paint any discolored areas or rooms with dingy, old paint.
Try not to cook foods with strong odors prior to showing. If necessary, use room fresheners and deodorizers. If you own a house, keep the lawn and plants trimmed and maintained, and pick up any garbage on the property. Reduce clutter as much as possible. Consider putting some items in storage.

How the Internet Thinks We're Still Together
cialis generique
Sunday, March 26, 2017
Posted By:
About three weeks before Will's birthday this year Amazon sent me a reminder to look at Will's wish list so that I could buy him a present in time for his birthday. The announcement was filled with imaged of pocket knives and fancy winter bike accessories. Buying gifts was one of Will's specialties, he was seriously the best gift buyer I have ever met. Every gift from Will was a surprise, and it was always something completely unexpected but perfect. I, on the other hand, did better with a list. Growing up, we would spend months making our Christmas gift lists. And my siblings and I would always go through wild negotiations to get bigger presents since our birthdays were so close to Christmas and we often combined the two gifts into one. I always got great gifts that I loved, but I usually knew what I was getting. I spend weeks waiting in excited anticipation to play with the toys I saw wrapped up under the tree. It was a great family tradition that I loved, but it meant that Will's surprise gifts were a new and exciting experience.
One of our first Christmas's together, Will got me a grab bag of hand-painted polish dishes that we had seen the previous summer at a gift shop in New Glarus, Wisconsin. I remember the intense giddiness of opening the package and the magical feeling I experienced when realized he had paid such close attention to me that day in the gift shop. The pottery was really expensive so he purchased a quirky mismatched set of plates on eBay, complete with a lidless teapot and a creamer pitcher. We declared it would be our life long mission to complete our mismatched dinner set and on multiple occasions he called me over to the computer to look at teapot lids on eBay to see if he had found a match. When we ate dinner we would call different plate patterns and we each had our favorite plate to use.
Another year he bought me this incredible illustration of a sheep from a book that was over 100 years old. I have a small obsession with sheep and historical living so we used to watch a British TV documentary called Victorian Farm that Will found on the internet. It was about a group of historians living on a farm using house-keeping and farming techniques from the Victorian era. Whenever they had to complete a task they would reference the Book of the Farm, a contemporary manual for farming and animal husbandry from the Victorian era. Since Will and I always joked about our future hobby farm, Will scoured eBay to buy the book for me as a gift. Since it was too expensive to buy the actual book, Will bought me a single page with a hand drawn sheep on it that he matted by hand and framed for me; I think I cried when I unwrapped it.
So with that type of competition, buying for presents for Will was always an incredibly stressful task. And after few years of pathetic, disappointing gifts, Will set up an Amazon gift list to help me with purchasing. I remember the last pocket know I bought from the list resulted in Will nearly chopping off his finger within a few hours of unwrapping it. When I use the knife now I think of Will sitting on the couch flicking the knife open and closed and making silly sound effects.But the Amazon gift list is just one of many electronic connections I still have with Will. On Facebook, I am still in a relationship with Will. After a year or so I hid the status so that new Facebook friends wouldn't get confused or ask me questions, but I just could delete the actual relationship status. My rational was that if I deleted it then Will wouldn't have a girlfriend on his Facebook page and for some reason that felt incredibly unfair. I'm not even all that in to Facebook, but it still feels like some type of modern relationship right of passage and a betrayal for me to break up with him there. My other electronic connection to Will is our shared google calendar. When I add an event, our shared calendar is always listed as an option. I could easily delete the calendar as well, but again I just can't do it. At this point it's been three and a half years, but as far as the internet is concerned Will and I are still linked.

She believes in the goodness of some but recognizes that many have been broken by life events.
The woman with a broken heart doesn't ask for much, or expect a handout without having to give something back in return. She feels that people are traveling through life with their eyes wide shut and that most are living comfortably numb.
Emotional and physical trauma resides in the pit of our collective souls and the few who remain unscathed by abuse and neglect don't have a love big enough to rescue her from her world.
When something is broken, if it doesn't shatter into a million little pieces, it might be salvagable. It could be tapped or glued back together but who really would want such an item but its original owner.
When a person is broken, the heart is changed forever. It will never be as it was before it was broken but with time, it will be repaired.
However, the heart, unlike inanimate objects, leaves emotional scares that are connected to the memory of the pain. Any real healing that is accomplished is due to the process of awareness, acceptance, and forgiveness.
The woman with a broken heart sees only through the reality of her world and through the veil of shame that enslaves her consciousness. She regrets the past and rejects the future because they are one and the same.
Her heart, fragile and wounded, moves along with time, indifferent to the wonders of living and the sweetness sublime. Broken trust and broken promises are the casualities of living.
A broken heart that has been healed knows that a broken heart is the bootcamp of love.
She recognizes that the heart is the first and last defense to loving, and that you learn to forgive the past so that you can embrace the present.
Broken or just bruised ... your heart is truly your most needed lifeline.
Refuse the temptation to just live comfortably numb like so many others. What has happened to you in the past is in the past. It doesn't make you, become you, or break you. You have the power to soar above your pain and despair.
Don't let abuse, anger, fear, guilt, or shame destroy your chances for happiness. Too many people do and their world is just the reality of the fears they hold in their hearts and minds.
Life is too short to give away your power to love and freedom because someone hurt you. Remember that hurt people hurt others. Your heart may have been wounded but that wound doesn't have to define your life.

The eighth annual NoVA SEAS took place Tuesday, April 23, 2019 at George Mason University's Center for the Arts with more than 600 students from almost 50 schools attending.
Check out this detailed recap of SEAS 2019. The ninth annual SEAS will take place in April 2020.
NoVA Outside's Student Environmental Action Showcase (SEAS) is a regional event welcoming students from Alexandria City, Arlington County, Fairfax City/County, Falls Church City, Loudoun County, and Prince William County schools.
SEAS brings these students together to amplify youth voice in environmental problem-solving. Student presenters, green/eco teams, and classroom groups share their projects reducing waste, conserving energy, improving water quality, and preserving natural habitat in their schoolyards and communities. Each year we host as many as 500 student participants from 40 area schools. Many thanks to our sponsoring partners:
See the NoVA Outside May 2018 newsletter for a recap of SEAS 2018. Photos from the event can be seen in this blog post and on Twitter #NOVASEAS18.
The event is held in partnership with George Mason University's Potomac Environmental Research and Education Center (PEREC) and with Earth Force, which annually hosts the Virginia Caring for Our Watersheds competition as part of the event. We also partner with the Thinkabit Lab at Virginia Tech, affording students an opportunity to tackle environmental problems using programming and sensors.
Each year SEAS also features an eco-art event. In past years these have included a recycled-material mascot contest, a Video Visions exhibition, and a music festival with performances on instruments built from recycled materials.
SEAS allows students, teachers and administrators to network, build knowledge and gain ideas to further their school's efforts in environmental stewardship. In addition, two dozen partner organizations such as federal, state and local agencies and NGOs provide hands-on green STEAM learning activities for the students and talk to kids about their careers.
Elected officials, senior school personnel, corporations, state education officials, and others are invited to the event to share with the students and to become more aware of the strength of student environmental action in Northern Virginia and the importance of supporting such work.
Volunteers and Sponsors for the event are appreciated. Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com if interested.
Eco-Partners can sign up to lead an activity for student groups at the partner village (outdoor tent area).
Students can participate by entering:
• General Showcase (grades K-12) – Put together a small table top presentation and tell us what you are up to. Just getting started? Well on your way? That's okay! Come and share ideas.
• Eco Art
• Caring for Our Watersheds (grades 6-10) – Earth Force hosts this competition that asks students what they can do to improve their watershed. All teams are invited to the Showcase. The top 10 regional teams will present their proposals at SEAS.
• Our Power (grades 6-12) – students meet in a small group setting with decision-makers and leaders to learn how they can be more effective in their projects and advocacy. Meet in a small group setting with elected officials or advocacy experts to strategize taking your project to the policy making level. Small teams will be matched with experts based on descriptions of your environment/civics project.
• Envirothon and High School Track – network with others and see how you are all improving our environment. See the Envirothon finalist presentations as they prepare for the regional competition. Interact with college students in environment related majors.

Being shy is typical for many young children. By the age of 5 they now have all of their feelings and language acquisition, but unfortunately don't know 'how to' socially apply these skills. Therefore, they say or don't say things at inappropriate times. So as parents it means we have to teach them exactly what to do when feelings come.
This emotional education should go something like this;
First, sit them down in a quiet moment and say, "You know buddy when I've been telling you to say 'hi' to other kids, etc. and sometimes you either look away or hide behind Mommy that is called shy".
Second, tell your child WHO gets shy. It's the grocery store check-out lady, it's a policeman, it's Daddy, I even get shy, EVERYBODY has shy! This helps your child understand they are not the only one who gets shy. And it's our job (as parents) to teach you "what to do" when you feel shy. All shy is…is not knowing what to do when someone comes up to you and says something!
Third, kids learn best through play. So play a game with your child, where you put on a 'funny hat' or get on your knees like you are a kid and you say, "Hi I'm Kyle from next door, can we play side-walk chalk together?" Then tell him what he is supposed to say back, "Yes, sit down, here's some chalk". Or if he is resistant to do this with you, as the parent, you just need to model this scene for them.
Fourth, and most importantly if they continue to hide behind you and not say anything or do anything appropriate like a "high five" for example, do NOT force your child to do it. Instead, you just step up and model for them (saying hi yourself or give a hi five), ultimately do what you want your child to do! Do not ask them 'why' they didn't say hi or bring up the subject at all afterwards.
In the meantime, when he does say hi to ANYONE, you included (even in the morning when you wake up and your child automatically says hi or when you pick them up from grandma's house, etc.) you tell your child "great saying hi".
Telling our children to not feel something is second nature, because as parents we want to help them out when they feel stuck in social situations. But, telling them to 'not be a feeling', like shy never works because it's a biological fact that feelings come whether we want them to or not. So next time the urge comes to tell your child to not be shy, mad or sad try helping them instead by figuring out how to deal with the feeling when it comes!
Keep in touch as comments are always welcome, Dr. Ann

My fiance and I rented the entire Piedmont House for our wedding guests. It was the perfect place for our large group. It has a very nice meeting area for all of us to visit. Pat, Jay and their staff could not have been better. They went above and beyond to make sure that we were well cared for during our stay. The accommodations were perfect and after staying there for a week we felt like family. I highly recommend them as the place to stay for an upcoming wedding or for a weekend getaway. We won't be staying any other place in our upcoming visits to Eureka Springs.
