Satellite Network Transport Architecture (SaNTA) Erling Kristiansen European Space Agency, Noordwijk, The Netherlands Afonso Nunes Skysoft Portugal, Lisbon, Portugal José Brázio Instituto de Telecomunicações, Lisbon, Portugal André Zúquete Instituto de Telecomunicações / IEETA, Aveiro, Portugal We presented to ICSSC 2004 a paper entitled "Re-thinking the End-to-end Paradigm - The missing protocol layer". This paper described a novel architecture in which the TCP end-to-end transport in a heterogeneous network environment is split into a succession of separate transport instances, each operating over a homogeneous sub-network. This split architecture is augmented with a new end-to-end transport layer, inserted between the application layer and the split-transport layer. This new layer re-establishes the end-to-end context that was lost by the split. Since the presentation of that paper, it was realized that the introduction of changes to the protocol stack of all end systems, necessary in order to implement the new architecture, could be a major impediment to deployment of the system. An enhancement to the original architecture, now named SaNTA, is presented in this paper. In SaNTA, the new end-to-end layer is introduced between "satellite enhancer" (SE) entities located in association with the users' Internet access routers rather than truly end-to-end. Support for network security has also been introduced into the SaNTA architecture. The SaNTA architecture has been implemented in a prototype that was tested both under controlled laboratory conditions and over a satellite link accessed through a WAN. I. Introduction 1 In our ICSSC 2004 paper "Re-thinking the End-to-end Paradigm - The missing protocol layer" we presented a novel transport architecture for TCP/IP networks comprising a satellite link. In the year that has passed since the presentation of that paper, work has progressed, further enhancing the architecture. Network security has been included as an intrinsic part of the architecture. After a brief recap of the problem we are addressing, and of the previously presented architecture, this paper will present the enhanced architecture model, which we now refer to as SaNTA (Satellite Network Transport Architecture). The current state of the SaNTA development, as well as test results and some ideas for future work will be presented. II. The end-to-end principle and associated problems A concept central to the Internet, as originally conceived, is the end-to-end principle. Internet protocols are essentially operating between end systems, and the role of the network is to route IP packets from the originating end system to the destination end system. The network is not supposed to take into account, or even to know about the higher layer context to which the packets belong. Conversely, end systems are not supposed to know, or make use of any information about the network path or its current state of loading, except what they can infer from watching the behaviour of the end-to-end protocols in which they participate. (This rather simplistic view of the Internet deliberately ignores all the internal on-goings, like routing protocols and DNS because these are not visible to higher layer protocols). The end-to-end principle works very well on a wide range of well-behaved networks that are more or less in agreement with the, mainly implicit, assumptions on which the Internet protocols were designed. 1 But in some recent types of links, these assumptions start to break down, and performance suffers from the Internet protocols not being tuned for these environments. Among these environments, this paper will address only networks that include satellite links. But rather similar problems arise in other environments like terrestrial mobile networks, and we think our proposed architecture may be applicable to such environments as well, though this has not been investigated in detail. The focus of this paper is on TCP, though compatibility with other transport protocols will be discussed briefly as well. Long end-to-end latency influences TCP performance essentially in two ways: Slow start, the exponential increase of sending rate at the beginning of a connection, takes a long time due to the long round trip delay. And TCP's congestion control algorithm reacts slowly, sometimes leading to many packets being lost before congestion control has reacted to an overload condition. TCP assumes that all packet losses are due to congestion, and slows down when packet loss is detected. In some satellite links, packet error rate may be considerable; a packet lost due to link errors makes TCP slow down unnecessarily and is sometimes counterproductive. Long, fat links may not be fully utilized due to exhaustion of the TCP window, unless window scaling is enabled. Long, thin links are likely to carry just a few simultaneous connections, so bandwidth available to a given TCP connection may fluctuate significantly as connections come and go. TCP has difficulty achieving good link utilization under such conditions. All these factors considered, it is generally agreed that TCP performance over networks including satellite links is often less that could be desired, and that there is room for improvement. III. The basic architecture Figure 1 shows the architecture we proposed in 1. Figure 1: Basic transport architecture The architecture has a lot in common with the split transport architecture that has become popular as the basis of a variety of "performance enhancing proxies" (PEPs), in that it contains a concatenation of separate transport protocol instances, together forming a transport chain between the end systems. While the end-to-end path is heterogeneous in nature, each of the individual transport instances typically operates across a homogeneous sub- network: A LAN, the Internet, the satellite network. By splitting the path, it becomes possible to use for each sub-net a transport protocol that is well suited for the characteristics of that sub-network. Typically, TCP would be used over LANs, intranets and the Internet while the satellite network would use a proprietary, optimized transport protocol or a flavour of TCP tuned specifically for the environment. 2 What is new in our proposed architecture is the extra end-to-end transport layer inserted between the per-link split transport layer and the application. We call it the Inter Transport Layer (ITL). This "thin" protocol layer re- establishes the end-to-end context that was lost in the split-transport. The end-to-end transport layer can be made to behave, as seen from the application, exactly like a native end-to-end TCP, while benefiting from the performance enhancement of the split-transport layer just below it. As will be explained below, the new layer can also serve as an attractive vehicle for implementing end-to-end security, as well as possibly for QoS signalling and maybe other functions. The latter ideas have not been fully analyzed yet, but will also be addressed very briefly. IV. The SaNTA architecture The basic architecture described above has an important drawback: All participating end systems need to install the new protocol stack. This may be feasible in some restricted environments, but is not realistic in most of today's open and dynamic network environments where end systems run a plethora of versions of several operating systems and are not controlled or managed by any central entity. So we started searching for a way to ease this constraint. Our search was helped by the following observation: Virtually all corporate users, and, with the proliferation of broadband to the home like ADSL and TV cable, also many private home users, do not connect directly to the Internet. Rather, they are connected to a LAN that, in turn, connects to the rest of the world via a single access point, the access router. Access routers mostly do more than just IP routing: They typically contain Network Address Translation (NAT) and firewall functions and maybe more. The result is that the user LAN, whether it only contains a single home PC or thousands of corporate end systems, can be seen as a separate management and, at least to some extent, security domain that enjoys a certain amount of isolation from the Internet, mediated by the access router. From a performance point of view, user LANs are rather benign environments, exhibiting low delay and packet loss, and mostly have ample bandwidth for the traffic they carry. So they have little influence on the performance of the overall end-to-end path. This led to the idea that the architecture described above could be operated between access routers, or devices located, in network terms, close to access routers, rather than directly between end systems. The SaNTA architecture was born. Figure 2 shows this concept: Two user LANs and, inside the dotted box, an instance of figure 1. Figure 3 expands this picture to show the full architecture. Figure 2: The SaNTA concept 3 Figure 3: The full SaNTA architecture We call the end points of the new protocol stack Satellite Enhancers (SEs). An SE is effectively a transport proxy: It terminates the TCP connection with the end user and concatenates it with the SaNTA ITL protocol operating between SEs. ITL, in turn, is mediated by a chain of concatenated transport protocol instances. Many firewalls today contain application proxies, so they, too, split the transport connection. Therefore, the SE is well suited for implementation within or in association with a firewall. In our pilot implementation, we have implemented the SE as a separate entity, so we have not fully explored the potential for integration with other equipment. But it seems that, in concept, there is a good match. With reference to figures 2 and 3, the following sequence takes place: - End user 1 initiates a TCP connection towards end user 2. - The connection is intercepted by SE 1, acting as a transport proxy. - SE 1 opens an ITL connection to SE 2. - SE 2, acting as a transport proxy, opens a TCP connection to end user 2. Opening of the ITL connection consists of the following steps: - SE 1 opens a TCP connection to Inter working unit (IWU) 1. - IWU 1 opens a Satellite Transport Protocol connection to IWU 2. - IWU 2 opens a TCP connection to SE 2. Two-way end user communication can now take place. At the end of the session, all connections are disconnected in an orderly fashion. It is noted that the while SEs are proxies, the IWUs are not; they are explicit network entities and are addressed as such. A hybrid of the SaNTA architecture and the original concept is possible: An end user system may implement the enhanced protocol stack, and may communicate directly with a local IWU. This configuration has been implemented and tested, but will not be discussed further here. It may have some attraction for small, single-user satellite terminals or mobile devices where several logical functionalities tend to be integrated into a small number of physical entities. V. Flow and congestion control One of the primary reasons for introducing a split transport architecture is the sub-optimal performance of TCP's congestion control in the target environment. The solution must, therefore, pay due attention to flow and congestion control. Otherwise, one just replaces one problem with another version of the same problem. In SaNTA, the philosophy applied is flow control by back-pressure. Each SaNTA transport segment applies its preferred method for dealing with congestion and flow control, and signals back to the SaNTA entity (SE or IWU) in front of it to slow down or stop feeding data if the segment cannot deal with the data rate presented to it. The SaNTA entities, in turn, exercises flow control towards the segment feeding into it when its buffers get full. This way, at the level of the chain of SaNTA transports, no data ever needs to be dropped due to congestion. 4 The satellite link will normally be the bottleneck link, as well as the link with the largest latency. Therefore, as described in the next chapter, a transport protocol was chosen that is internally flow controlled, rather than relying on packet losses and retransmissions to signal congestion, like TCP does. The TCP transport segments will use TCP's congestion and flow control mechanisms, but since these networks are generally faster and have smaller latency than the satellite link, these mechanisms will normally have little or no effect on the end-to-end throughput, provided enough buffering is provided at the IWUs, so that starvation of the satellite link due to the ingress TCP is rare. Providing huge buffers, on the other hand, may lead to other undesirable effects. So an appropriate buffer design is essential. The protocol stack also includes a scheduler that ensures fairness between flows on the satellite link. This is quite different from TCP where each flow fights for bandwidth, and fairness is rarely achieved. In order to serve real time flows going in parallel with SaNTA enhanced traffic, the scheduler has an optional facility to give priority to UDP traffic (and possible other non-SaNTA traffic – see below) for a given fraction of the available bandwidth. This way, as long as the real time traffic does not exceed the bandwidth set aside for it, it will not compete with best effort traffic for bandwidth. VI. The SaNTA Satellite Transport Protocol (SaSTP) The SaNTA architecture is modular in the sense that each SaNTA segment can use whatever transport protocol is deemed suitable. It is also modular in the sense that, though the figures above show 3 segments (LAN, satellite, Internet), additional segments, and hence additional IWUs may be inserted into the path, e.g. in a multi-hop satellite scenario or a satellite + terrestrial mobile scenario. Several options were considered for the SaSTP protocol. The choice fell on a derivative of the X.25 LAPB protocol. This protocol is quite simple, and, with a few adaptations, very well suited for a point-to-point link. We opted for selective acknowledgment ARQ in order to speed up recovery from a single or a few packets lost due to link errors. SaSTP and the protocol stack below it is flow controlled in order not to lose packets between layers. In a fully flow controlled stack, congestion is not an issue. VII. Adding network security to SaNTA Internet security measures fall into three categories: Application layer security, Transport layer security and Network layer security (link and physical layer security is outside the scope of this discussion). Application layer security is application specific, like Email encryption and authentication. It is totally transparent to lower layer protocols and will not be discussed further here. Transport layer security uses protocols like TLS/SSL and SSH. These are truly end-to-end security measures that, in spite of their names, tend to be implemented inside applications like web browsers and servers. They are not truly services offered by the network but rather libraries offered to the application developer. They have one important limitation: They are incompatible with application layer proxies and firewalls that need access to the transport headers and possibly data contents. Network layer security is almost exclusively implemented by IPsec. Though originally intended for true end-to- end security, well in line with the Internet end-to-end principle, it turns out that IPsec is mainly being deployed between access routers in order to implement Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). Some of the main reasons for this are that deploying and configuring IPsec into all end hosts is cumbersome and prone to being ineffective if not configured properly, and that end-to-end IPsec is, at least in part, incompatible with functionalities typically incorporated into today's access routers, like NAT and firewalls. IPsec is also incompatible with transport or higher layer proxies elsewhere in the network, such as PEPs for satellite links. PEPs need to read, and in some cases change TCP headers. IPsec does not allow this. Comparing the SaNTA and VPN architectures, we realized two interesting points: - SaNTA operates the enhanced protocol between SEs located in conjunction with access routers; VPNs typically operate between access routers. - SaNTA contains an end-to-end layer (ITL) between SEs. The underlying split-transport needs no access to ITL layer data. 5 This leads directly to the idea of implementing security measures at the ITL layer: The scope of the security is the same as for IPsec VPNs operating between access routers; Security at ITL layer is compatible with split transport below the ITL layer. The choice of the security protocol to be used at ITL layer is quite open, and a number of options were evaluated. For the prototype implementation, we settled for TLS – the standard version of the well-known SSL protocol. The choice was to some extent driven by implementation issues and availability of suitable libraries, but it seems suitable and logical. In addition to TLS security at ITL, we chose to include IPsec AH-only security between neighbouring SaNTA entities in order to authenticate all SaNTA entities to each other. As a consequence, the baseline is to not do peer authentication at ITL since all entities in the path are authenticated. But peer authentication is available in the software, and can be switched on, should the concern arise that a rogue SaNTA entity might attempt to insert itself into the network. The resulting security architecture is shown in figure 4. In summary, the following security services are provided between SaNTA SEs: - Confidentiality of application data is provided by TLS. - Authentication between neighbouring SaNTA entities is provided by IPsec AH. - Authentication of peer SEs may be optionally provided by TLS. - Integrity is provided SE to SE by TLS as well as between SaNTA entities by IPsec. - Replay immunity is provided SE to SE by TLS as well as between SaNTA entities by IPsec. - Denial of Service protection is provided, to some extent, by IPsec. - Non-repudiation is not provided, and seems out of scope. - Access control to SaNTA entities is outside the scope of the work. - Immunity to traffic analysis can only partly be provided: The ITL connection setup and subsequently all ITL headers have to be in clear. Figure 4: SaNTA TCP security architecture VIII. Non-SaNTA traffic An operational setup will need to be capable of dealing with any kind of Internet traffic, not only TCP traffic. Though the focus on SaNTA is on acceleration of TCP, we have gone at least part of the way towards compatibility with a full Internet environment. Several non-TCP types of traffic need to be addressed: UDP traffic is encapsulated into a connectionless ITL protocol by SEs, and is encrypted. Since TLS is a stream encryption protocol, it is not very suitable for connectionless traffic. Therefore, we chose to use IPsec ESP encryption of the ITL payload, including the UDP and original IP headers. Any other packets encountered will either be treated like the UDP packets, i.e. encapsulated and encrypted, or will be routed at IP layer. We are still debating which packet types fall into which category. Within the current work scope, this is not a high priority issue. The focus at the moment is that such traffic will be served, but will not enjoy any acceleration, and will enjoy cryptographic protection whenever possible within in the current architecture. 6 The satellite network may contain terminals that are not SaNTA enabled (have no SE). Traffic between a SaNTA enabled terminal and a non-SaNTA enabled one will fall back to normal TCP and will be routed at IP layer. It will not enjoy any acceleration or security by the SaNTA architecture, but will be passed on transparently. This architecture is shown in figure 5. Figure 5: SaNTA UDP security architecture IX. Prototype design and implementation The design of all SaNTA protocols and entities was carried out in SDL (System Definition Language), using the TAU tool suite from Telelogic. Subsequently, TAU was used in simulation mode to perform a thorough validation of the design. Message sequence charts of typical scenarios, including a variety of faults and mishaps, were produced and evaluated by inspection. TAU also performs a variety of automatic consistency checks. Once the validation was satisfactorily completed, the TAU code generator was used to generate C code that implements the various entities. A few functionalities that are not easily modelled in SDL were hand-coded in C and integrated with the generated code to form the complete system. The various SaNTA components were installed on Linux PCs, and make extensive use of Linux libraries and kernel functionalities that were found to be very useful tools, in particular in implementing the security features. OpenSSL was used to implement the ITL layer TLS security while OpenS/WAN and Linux native kernel functionalities were used for IPsec. The Linux features iptables and libipq proved very versatile and powerful in intercepting IP packets, manipulating them, and re-injecting them into the kernel. iptables, in particular, gives a lot of flexibility in selecting which packets get what kind of treatment. It was the team's first experience with SDL and TAU, so a substantial amount of learning the methodology was required. But, once the approach was mastered, it proved very efficient. In particular, when changes to the design were needed later, it was very easy to update the SDL, repeat the validation if required, and generate new code. The custom-built C-code implements specific low-level functions, so changes to these are really orthogonal to changes to the SDL code, as long as the interface between the two remains. Figure 6 shows the lab setup, consisting of 7 PCs, representing 2 end user PCs, 2 SEs, 2 IWUs and an emulation of the satellite link, including delay, bandwidth limitation and, optionally, random packet losses. 7 Figure 6: Lab test setup. X. Tests and test results The majority of tests were conducted in a lab environment. We used the dummynet2,3 network simulator, that is currently part of FreeBSD, to simulate the satellite link. dummynet allows to simulate a network path with specified delay, bandwidth and packet loss statistics, and was found to be easy to use and quite appropriate for the task at hand. Using a lab setup rather than a live satellite link allows for a well controlled environment and a high degree of reproducibility, but does not fully capture the complexity of a real-life environment. Therefore, tests were also performed over a satellite link kindly made available by Portugal Telecom. Since the Internet is part of the communication path in most of the envisaged deployment scenarios, it is important to faithfully reproduce its behaviour. It is well known that a good model of Internet behaviour is difficult to come by, so we chose to include a real Internet path in both some of the lab tests and the live tests. We do realize that one specific path is not fully representative of the whole Internet, but it was the best we could afford within the available resources. The first test objective is to demonstrate that SaNTA achieves its primary objective of enhancing performance as compared to end-to-end TCP. Figure 7 shows the results of one such test: Transferring a large file over a path containing a satellite link with significant BER, TCP performance has dropped significantly at BER 10-6, and becomes unusable soon beyond this point, while SaNTA maintains acceptable performance well beyond BER 10-5. We also see that, in this particular test, the size of the buffer in front of the satellite link has negligible importance. The exact performance figures obviously depend on the test conditions and parameter values. But, qualitatively, it is demonstrated that SaNTA achieves the envisaged performance enhancement. 35 16 30 14 Transfer Delay (sec) 25 12 SaNTA Architecture, KBytes/s 20 ITL Buffer Size = 1 10 15 SaNTA Architecture, 8 y = 0.0003x + 1.3843 10 ITL Buffer Size = 4 6 y = 0.0002x + 2.5465 5 SaNTA Architecture, 4 0 ITL Buffer Size = 19 2 End2End TCP 0 =0 1% 5% % % .8 .4 R 1. 5. 0 5000 10000 15000 20000 25000 10 20 BE =~ =~ Maximum Theoretical =~ =~ R R R R Packet Size (bytes) PE PE Throughput PE PE 6, 6, 5, 5, E- E- E- E- =1 =5 Delay (SaNTA) Delay (TCP) =1 =2 R R R R BE BE BE BE Linear (Delay (SaNTA)) Linear (Delay (TCP)) Figure 7: Throughput as function of the BER Figure 8: Transfer Delay, BER = 2e-5 8 For short data transfers, the overhead of the SaNTA ITL connection setup becomes significant. As can be seen from figure 8, this additional overhead amounts to about 1 second over a typical GEO path, actually making SaNTA slower than TCP for transfers below some 8-10 Kbytes in size. We will briefly address some ideas for improving this situation in the next chapter. SaNTA includes a scheduler that attempt to provide fairness between data flows sharing the bottleneck link. It can be seen that this has been achieved: Figure 9 shows the error free case, figure 10 the case for BER 10-6, both for long data transfers. Figure 11 shows that fairness is also achieved in a situation with many partly overlapping short transfers. 200000 180000 160000 Connection 10 140000 Connection 9 Accumulated Bytes Connection 8 120000 Connection 7 Connection 6 100000 Connection 5 Connection 4 80000 Connection 3 Connection 2 60000 Connection 1 40000 20000 0 0 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 160 180 200 220 Time (sec) Figure 9: Short-Term End2End Timelog, Buffer Size = 1, BER = 0 250000 200000 Connection 10 Connection 9 Accumulated Bytes Connection 8 150000 Connection 7 Connection 6 Connection 5 Connection 4 100000 Connection 3 Connection 2 Connection 1 50000 0 0 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 160 180 200 220 Time (sec) Figure 10: Short-Term End2End Timelog, Buffer Size = 1, BER = 1e-6 35000 30000 25000 Accumulated Bytes 20000 15000 10000 5000 0 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 110 120 130 140 150 160 170 180 190 Time (sec) N1 N2 N3 N4 N5 N6 N7 N8 N9 N10 N11 N12 N13 N14 N15 N16 N17 N18 N19 Figure 11: Short-Term End2End Throughput, BER = 0 At the time of writing, the tests relating to the security features are just about to start, and we expect to be able to present some results in the verbal presentation of this paper. The main focus of the envisaged tests is on performance: How does the inclusion of security features impact on the performance of the SaNTA architecture. In addition, several tests are foreseen to verify the correct implementation and functioning of the security features. 9 XI. Ideas for future work During the course of the project, several ideas have come up that we would like to explore in the future, but cannot afford under the current project. In the current implementation, one TCP connection opens one ITL connection and one TLS security association. This is a performance bottleneck of SaNTA, in particular for short data transfers. In applications like HTTP, it is quite common to open several transport connections between the same end points, either concurrently or sequentially. This suggests that efficiency can be improved on two fronts: By multiplexing several connections within one ITL and/or TLS connection, and by serially re-using those connections rather than breaking and re- establishing them. This is entirely possible within the SaNTA concept. When designing the SaNTA security architecture, we had to make a choice between using, to the highest extent possible available libraries and kernel functionalities, and doing a proprietary development more or less from scratch. Good security software is notoriously difficult to develop and, in particular, to validate, which is the main reason we chose the former approach. We are, however, aware, that this choice introduces some inefficiencies that could possibly be avoided in a custom development. For example, it might be possible to merge the ITL connection setup and the TLS association setup rather than doing them strictly in series. Most tests were done in the lab. We would very much like to do more extensive testing in a real environment, and are currently exploring an opportunity to do this. Last, but not least, we think that the SaNTA architecture could play a role in Quality of Service (QoS) management. The ITL layer, though conceived as an end-to-end layer, actually touches upon all IWUs. SEs and IWUs are located where the characteristics of the network change. But this is also likely to be the interconnection points between QoS management domains. So ITL seems ideally suited as a vehicle to carry QoS signalling. The initiator of an ITL connection could request a certain QoS, each IWU in the path will take note, and will either accept or reject the request. At the end of the ITL connection setup, the initiator will know whether the requested QoS has been accepted, and all IWUs will know what they have granted. The satellite network is likely to be the bottleneck, also from a QoS point of view, so, in practice, the QoS management might often degrade into end points negotiating satellite link QoS. We have not explored this in detail, but it looks quite attractive. XII. Conclusion A novel transport protocol architecture, including a split transport layer and a new end-to-end layer, has been proposed. The architecture maps well onto a typical scenario where user communities access open networks through an access router/firewall. In such a scenario, the new network elements can be associated with the access routers, so that there is no need to change end user systems. The architecture includes a security framework with the unique property of providing true end-to-end security in combination with a split transport architecture for TCP traffic, a feat that cannot be accomplished with network layer security measures. In addition, the architecture provides a secure tunnel for UDP and other non-TCP traffic, though no acceleration is provided for non-TCP protocols. A working prototype has been built, and tests confirm the feasibility of the architecture, as well as demonstrate the expected performance enhancements as compared to standard end-to-end TCP. The architecture seems to have the potential to be a vehicle for some attractive future applications. A few of these have been identified and briefly discussed. Also, some ideas have been put forward for further optimizations.

I am sorry if I offended you in any way. Sometimes my sarcasm bites more than I intend it to.

Thanks for your couragious feedback despite my insensitivity.

Grover murder case: Jerome`s security tightened
Mumbai: Security for naval officer Emile
Jerome Mathew, arrested in the sensational Neeraj Grover
murder case, has been increased after an information was
received that he might attempt to flee from custody.
Jerome and his Kannada actress fiancee Marai Susairaj
were arrested in May 2008 for allegedly murdering Synergy
Adlabs creative head Neeraj Grover after a feud.
Jerome`s security was increased from three constables
to eight including two armed constables after the public
prosecutor in the case received an anonymous call yesterday
claiming that the naval officer might attempt to flee from
"The caller said Jerome is trying to take the help of
the constables who escort him to the sessions court for the
hearing of the case and is planning to flee," prosecutor R V
Kini said.
Kini then intimidated crime branch officials who in turn
informed Arthur Road jailer Rajendra Dhamane following which
Jerome`s escort was increased.
According to the prosecution, Grover was murdered on May
8, 2008 at Susairaj`s house in suburban Malad following a
fight between the two arrested accused and the victim.
The duo had allegedly cut Grover`s body in to several
pieces before disposing it off at nearby Manor jungles in the
outskirts of the city.

We had a wonderful night with Brooke our server!! She made great suggestions. So happy that the fiesta cheese is back on the menu.
We experienced our first dinner with The Melting Pot of Huntsville this July, and it was a wonderful experience. The food was great and the staff were friendly and very helpful. Our server Megan was great. We loved having her for our first time visiting. She was extremely helpful. Definitely recommend the Melting Pot, and we will certainly go back...
We went here on one of the rare occasions without our children and enjoyed excellent service and a terrific dining experience that lasted about two hours. We had never been to a fondue restautrant before, so were appreciative of our server's patience with us. In fact, Megan not only explained the fondue process, but was careful to mention possible contaminations...
Bridgestreet has been around for quite some time and from what I remember the Melting Pot was there from the beginning. Now there are so many restaurants but The Melting Pot is still number one. I drive an hour and a half to come, but it's always worth it. As other reviewers have said, your meal will take some time....
It was a new experience. Loved the cheese and dessert but cooking the entree was not fun for me. The service was exceptional but they were heavy into social media asking if they could post our picture on their facebook page, requsting we complete an online survey about our waitress and share our experience. We just wanted to dine not...
The Melting Pot is a great place to go with friends and family when you need a long time to talk. The cheese fondue, salad, main dish, and dessert take a good 3 hours to eat! It is possible to order just cheese and dessert fondue if you like. The variety of meats and seafood going into the broth (not...
Meal was great. A lot of fun and a different type of restaurant experience being fondue. Allows the group to talk and interact with each other. The various dishes were excellent and the deserts were very good - like fondue should be.
This is the kind of place to go when you really want time to connect with your dinner company. You can make any mix of food choices and have a great time!
I went for a friends birthday and they had a card that the employees signed, chocolate, and balloons!
The Melting Pot at Bridge Street in Huntsville is our favorite place to eat! The food is always superb, and the service is always impeccable!
If you want a high quality meal with great service, the Melting Pot is the place to go!

Is there a site to look at historical trends? I think that you are correct with your timing.
My AC has been running hard for 3 days and I'm cheap. Westchester, NY
What do you feel this will do to the price of gold? 1300 by EOY?
On the few up days, SLW always seems to haves 2:00ish swoon. Can't hold it's gains...sucks.
P- You gotta be kidding me- What will ne the selloff today? This is NOT what the company needs after watching the price of silver dump. I hope that it holds 17 today. They need a quick resolution here so it doesn't hang over the company. GLTAL
I'm sick.....This is just unbelievable...Will we see 20 in the next 2 years?
I want to puke!
Look at the chart today, This effin stock stinks. The company is fantastic. I would just go private . What are the chances that it closes in the green today. They need to hammer out an agreement with the shysters from the CRA in the next week or so. This will hang around the stock like a nose, getting tighter each day. I'm sick at what's happened to this stock.
This was 19 last month. I am getting creamed here. Are there any technicals showing a bottoming process? This drops .50 every other day with no end in sight,
I sure hope that you are right. This is getting scary here. Lost my savings in this. I thought it was the best company with outstanding management and margins. Just getting taken to the woodshed!

Is this your story? Do you know someone who is too nice?
It started with an eye roll. Of all people, the last one she expected it from was her husband. Jen remembers the exact moment, the very words he said, and she remembers how innocently she triggered it.
It was early last November, the end of a very short day. Tuesday afternoon at 4:30, a dark depressing hour. It was already dark outside and the cold was unwelcoming. Jim's train pulled into the station, Jen was waiting in the kiss and ride area, the motor was running.

Aeon: In the gnostic belief system, an aeon is an emanation of god. Sophia, or wisdom, is one example of an emanation which permeates all life. Marcus, a philosopher from the 4th century, believed sound to be an aeon. This newest owl painting depicts my interpretation of Sight being yet another emanation of god.

LAS VEGAS, NV -- (Marketwired) -- 07/25/14 -- National Automation Services, Inc. ("NAS") (OTCQB: NASV) announces today that the Company has selected the NYSE Amex Equities (American Stock Exchange) to complete the previously announced up-listing.
NAS has received the American Stock Exchange application and is currently working on its completion. Management believes that the move to a larger exchange will bring new investors, financing, acquisitions and other opportunities for growth that are not available on the current market.
Our primary goal, as we move forward, is to increase shareholder value through a series of strategic acquisitions as we move to a larger exchange. When we emerge, we expect to have the capability to trade more in line with our true value and fully realize our combined earnings and revenue. No assurances can be provided as to when or if we will be able to move to the American Stock Exchange, but that is our main focus right now.
In addition, NAS has engaged three consultants, a website development and hosting service to develop our website and make it a world class website reflecting our change into a large diversified domestic oil and gas services provider. This will allow NAS to gain better visibility and credibility among investors and acquisition targets in the future.
As we complete these stages we will inform shareholders, but do caution that communication will be limited at some point to ensure compliance with FINRA, SEC and American Stock Exchange regulations.
NAS President Bob Chance stated, "It is very exciting times for NAS as we make preparations to move from OTCQB to the AMEX. The benefits to the Company and our Shareholders will realize a much better alignment of our valuation to our share price, and gives greater exposure and accessibility to the investment community who cannot trade our equity right now because of existing restrictions. We are going to emerge as a new Company which is positioned to grow shareholder value. I appreciate all of the long term supporters we have had over the years as we are finally arriving at the station."

Haha, Obama! Huizenga Rids Himself of Dolphins
You might remember Wayne Huizenga's pre-election whining about how he wanted to sell of his remaining stake in the Miami Dolphins before our new socialist dictator can personally tax the hell out of him.
"He wants to double the capital gains tax, or almost double it. I'd rather give it to charity than to him," Huizenga said at the time.
Well, he's a man true to his word, and finalized the sale of an additional 45 percent of his stake in the team earlier today to Stephen Ross. Huizenga still retains a 5 percent stake in the Fins. No word yet on what charities he'll be donating his savings too. We hear there are some nonprofits in Sarasota that could use a hand. [via AP]

I am not a big FLW fan, but I do enjoy his history. Definitly worth the time and price. Also a good place to observe the surounding desert.
Taliesin West is a campus, a mini community. We did the Nights Lights and the Extended Insights Tours. The tours really gave us the experience of what it was like to live as students having strolled around the campus at two very different times of the day. I fancied what it would be like as a student to have had...
The tour at sunset gives Wright's work a totally new perspective. The natural lighting followed by the property lighting made the house even more impressive. Our tour guide, Mark, was very informative without over doing the information. Just loved his tour. Unlike other Wright homes you can photograph every where, and you are actually allowed to sit in certain rooms...
The tour was fabulous . Guide very knowledgeable. The grounds are beautiful kept .great historical tour about his life and his architecture .wonderful way to spend a few hours .
We took a guided tour of the property. It lasted about 90 minutes. The tour guide was well informed and interesting with a touch of humor. The property has some amazing views. Learning about how the architecture evolved was interesting.
I enjoyed our visit to Taliesin West. We live near many FLW homes, so I was interested to see it. There is so much history and intrigue under the surface. I particularly liked the theater and hearing of all the artists that visited. If the walls could talk... My daughter is was not so interested in the architecture or history....
Very interesting tour of amazing Frank Lloyd Wright complex. Learned a lot about him personally and professionally.
Beautiful property and entertaining tour - and experience we won't forget. You're able to see multiple rooms on the property, you're educated on the philosophy and mechanics of the construction. Would visit again! Next time in the winter.
We visited Taliesin West at the end of June, 2015. Being from the east, we had already seen Falling Water. The tour in Phoenix was unique in that Frank Lloyd Wright actually lived there. The tour guide was very interesting and we were able to see many of the buildings used including the home and theatres. Being a very hot...
Throughout the Valley of the Sun - Phoenix, Scottsdale, and the surrounding cities - Frank Lloyd Write's influence looms large. Taliesin West is the original location of his Arizona colony of budding architects.
