- Studio: Fox Searchlight Pictures
- Release Date: Nov 27, 2013
- Starring: Angela Bassett, Forest Whitaker, Jacob Latimore, Jennifer Hudson, Mary J. Blige, Nas, Rotimi, Vondie Curtis-Hall
- Summary: Langston, a street-wise teen from Baltimore raised by a single mother, travels to New York City to spend the Christmas holiday with his estranged relatives Reverend Cornell and Aretha Cobbs. Unwilling to live by the imposing Reverend Cobbs' rules, a frustrated Langston is determined to return home to his mother, Naima. Langston embarks on a surprising and inspirational journey and along with his new friends, and a little divine intervention, he discovers the true meaning of faith, healing, and family.… Expand
- Director: Kasi Lemmons
- Genre(s): Drama, Musical
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 8 out of 29
Mixed: 17 out of 29
Negative: 4 out of 29
Lemmons and her cast, aided by some great music, have created an interlude sure to lift the spirit during the holiday season.
Whitaker's performance is the rock here. Even when the confrontations and evasions get a little ridiculous, he's neither wholly saint nor sinner, but something like a human being.
Black Nativity offers a whopping serving of Yuletide emotion. And it's a musical - with plenty of wailing and rapping on the side.
Lemmons advances this story with straight-faced conviction, orchestrating narrative and spectacle with a grandiosity that proves easier to admire from a distance than it is to engage with onscreen.
Nov 25, 2013For anyone who prefers their assertive homilies to crust over like a syrupy sweet, this loose adaptation of Langston Hughes's beloved holiday tradition will come on like a dream fulfilled.
It's a misguided enterprise all round, and while it's perfectly possible to applaud everything the film wants to say, you find yourself cringing at the ways it's saying it.
Score distribution:
Positive: 1 out of 2
Mixed: 0 out of 2
Negative: 1 out of 2
Nov 27, 2013That sentiment pretty much sums up Black Nativity: ungainly in execution, yet still infused with enough passion and reverence for Hughes' original work to be more success than failure. Moviegoers looking for seasonal entertainment that is accessible and family-friendly (without also being treacly and/or bland) this is a Christmas show that you might want to check out.… Expand
Dec 9, 2013This was low B grade movie. There were stellar performances from Vondie Curtis Hall, Tyrese Gibson, Luke James, Grace Gibson and Mary J. Blige. Otherwise the sentimentality at times became so cloying and contrived. Jennifer Hudson made merely cameo appearances in the movie and howled violently through all her singing lines. Some guys down in the front row began to openly mock her which caused other movie goers to let out a few chuckles they had been holding in. The kids I took with me were enjoying it so I stayed for the whole movie but wanted to leave. I was curious how they would weave Langston Hughes's Black Nativity story into the movie itself but it was barely spoken about except for a brief showing mid movie. Overall I got the impression that this movie was merely a vehicle for Jacob Latimore who sang his parts very well. I found it hard to empathise with his character though. I kept hoping that he'd get caught, shot or arrested so that we could finally get past his dredged up problems to the Nativity.… Expand

Top 5 Social Networks for Business.
by Startacus Admin
Getting the word out about your business used to be a pretty costly affair and in some respects it still can be, especially if you use the more traditional forms of promotion and advertising. However, thanks to Social Media in particular, promoting your business, increasing brand awareness, engaging with your customers or clients can all now be done for free. If you're starting a business, ignore Social Media at your peril! But which to use? Here are our Top 5 Social Networks for Business.
With its short text-like messaging function, Twitter is ideal for marketing, engaging and connecting with customers and keeping abreast of news and trends in your market sector. The platform had over 200 million monthly active users as of December 2012, so it's a pretty massive potential customer base! Whilst it's an important marketing tool, it can be pretty easy to get distracted on Twitter because of the continual stream of new Tweets, so perhaps ration your Twitter activity if it starts to make other parts of your business activities suffer!
The biggest of them all? Perhaps. Facebook had over 1 billion active users by September 2012. Pretty impressive stats! For businesses, a Facebook page is a must. It is an excellent way for you to engage directly with your customers, or 'fans', share news and updates, and interact. Of course, it's important to keep your page active by regularly adding new content and initiating discussions and talking points.
As you'd expect from the Social Network for professionals, LinkedIn has a more business related focus than any of the others on our list. As well as using it to connect with your business acquaintances and former colleagues, you can enhance your business brand through being proactive in one of the many LinkedIn groups. These in essence are like smaller networks whose members all have a particular interest or focus. If there isn't a Group for your particular niche, you can always create one. Get enough people to join and engage with you and there can be no better form of promoting your brand or service.
Although adoption of Google + was perhaps not as rapid as some would expect, it is now becoming a real force to be reckoned with for businesses. The real advantage is probably the fact that you can divide those people you wish to engage with into dedicated Circles depending on your needs or requirements. Customers can be in one circle, fellow workers in another and potential clients yet another. By using the Hangout function you can also create video meetups with customers, clients or whoever and thereby engage with them in a more interactive way than some of the other networks featured here.
Probably the most visual of those we have listed, Pinterest is particularly good for increasing your brand awareness through images. Some businesses choose to use Pinterest almost like a virtual store where they can create Pinboards displaying all the products they sell. In that way, obviously the site can prove to be a real revenue generator. Although in the early days, Pinterest was claimed to have a predominantly female user base, this has been changing more recently. The type of business you have will of course determine whether not this one's for you. The more important a visual image is to your brand, the more likely you should be on the case with this.
So there you have it. Our Top 5 Social Networks for business. Agree with our choices? If not, why not let us know over at the forum which ones we ought to have included and why...Or are you feed up with the fice above? If so check out our article on Our Top 5 Alternative Social Platforms for a bit of inspiration...

"Join the circus, then leave as soon as possible. "

- Career Opportunities
I worked at Vistaprint full-time
- free coffee and soda
- food trucks every other week
- beer on Friday
Where to begin? This place is an absolute circus. They go through company-wide reorganizations every 6 to 8 months because they can't find a successful formula. Most recently they axed the majority of their QA and Ops department so they could free up funds to hire more developers -- except any developer worth their salt wouldn't want to work in this environment. As a developer, do you enjoy working on new, cutting edge things? Too bad, at Vistaprint you'll spend the majority of your time working on legacy systems that has little to no documentation. Hope you like technology refreshes, aren't they fun and challenging?!
The executives are inept and ill-equipped to do their jobs, and the middle and upper management are largely composed of sycophants. The CEO is a non-entity, descending once a year from his luxury office in Paris to parade in front of the various offices, patting himself on the back self-congratulatorily, only to vanish for another year with nary a sight nor sound. He has no interest in the floundering core business -- only new ideas.
Touching on company performance and environment, it's a morose place at the moment. Ever since their mind-boggling pricing changes, they've been hemorrhaging, and it's plainly evident in the atmosphere. The employees know that something is seriously wrong, and only the most ardent Kool-aid drinkers are oblivious. Does a healthy company eliminate 90% of their QA staff?
To the more practical -- the office is an overcrowded dump, but that should change upon completion of their multi-million dollar new office down the street -- which I'm sure they couldn't afford, but are doing anyway. Parking is a problem, so if you don't want to show up an hour early, be prepared to drop your car off with a valet and wait 30 minutes to get it when you're ready to leave. Though maybe with all the layoffs, there's now more parking space available?
If you absolutely must work here, put in your two years, get it on your resume while the company still has any semblance of name power, and then get the hell out. Vistaprint gets poached aggressively by other, better companies, because those companies know that many Vistaprint employees are miserable and desperate to leave.
Dump the inept management. Identify and eliminate the sycophants. Encourage the CEO to give a damn about his company instead of his next big idea.

"Don't waste your time and talent here. "

- Work/Life Balance
- Senior Management
- Culture & Values
- Career Opportunities
I worked at Vistaprint full-time (more than 5 years)Pros
*Competitive pay
*Quarterly bonuses
*Will work with some of the best and brightestCons
*Engineering review cycle is a nightmare. Promotions are not based on work/goals. You can skip meetings and work and let the most bugs into production, but if your manager is a convincing enough speaker you'll be a senior manager in no time! Work hard and meat your goals, but have an ineffective manager and you're left behind.
*Too many high level managers providing very little value.
*SDLC is a nightmare. Project requirements never fully vetted. Decisions being made well into the QA cycle.
*Expectation that you be available 24/7.
*Layoffs happening.
*Employees promised better opportunities for growth if they sign up for an expat contract, but then hung out to dry with very little guidance or opportunity. Move process is a nightmare. HR representative in change of the process is clueless and ineffective. Highly stressful situation all for naught. There will be no role for you to return to on repat regardless of what is promised at time of contract signing.Advice to ManagementAdvice
No advice for management. It's clear that they don't listen to it anyway.Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEO
I worked at Vistaprint as an intern (less than an year)Pros
Great exposure to leadership. Very open culture. Great work space.Cons
Sometimes bad work/life balance.RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEO

Pervs On Patrol blonde VIDEOS (112)
I was pissed about stuff in the apartment and went to film it, until I saw Jessa dancing in a thong with earphones on in the bathroom, and I had to film her gorgeous tanned fine ass shaking while she worked instead. Holy fuck this chick is hot.

Carter swears she's never ever fucked a customer at the hotel where she works. But judging by how easy it was for this dude to get her in bed, no way it's this amateur slut's first time. Maybe just the first time filmed and posted online for y'all.

You've never seen a filthy voyeur like Samantha's friend here. He rigged up her room with webcams, perving out on her while she masturbated. But when she caught him in the act, his spying turned her on so much she just had bang the fuck outta him.

Alli Rae was doing her laundry when she spotted a dude recording some homemade voyeur porn of her getting changed. She took one look at that dick and her mouth started watering, so that amateur slut sucked and fucked him right there in her back yard!
My roommate was working out, and I was spying on her with my camera. At one point, I was so horny that I decided to interrupt her training to show her how to exercise the whole body making the best physical activity of all, the good sex !

Ugh, when hot DTF sluts bail on your at the club it's the worst. Guy has this chick all wet and ready, but she ditched. When he sees her the next day, the only way to say sorry is to come right over to his place and let him film her wetting his dick.

You've won the lottery if you end up filming a hot skank who once she finds out you're watching, wants you to come in and finish her off with your fat cock. Better still if she lets you keep the camera recording all the dirty deeds that go down.

Sugar prices in retail markets will start to ease shortly in step with wholesale rates that have dropped after recent government measures to curb prices, Food and Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar said on Monday.
"After measures, there were some changes in sugar prices. There is a drop in the wholesale prices of sugar... Whenever there is a drop in the wholesale price, it (the impact) takes about 10-15 days to reach the retail market," Pawar told reporters on the sidelines of a function here.
Asked when retail prices will come down, he said, "We hope that process has started."
He said sugar prices have come down to Rs. 3,700—3,800 a quintal from Rs. 4,200 per quintal in the wholesale market.
As per official data, retail price of sugar has gone up to Rs. 47 a kg in the National Capital from Rs. 22 a year-ago.
Last week, the Cabinet Committee on Prices (CCP) took a slew of measures to increase availability of sugar in the domestic market and contain prices. It allowed processing of imported raw sugar anywhere in the country, extended deadline of duty-free import of white sugar till December-end.
India, the world's largest sugar consumer, has been importing sugar since April last year to meet the shortfall in production. Sugar output is estimated at 16 million tonnes in the current season, ending September 2010, against an annual demand of 23 million tonnes.
Pawar also said sugar mills and traders have been looking at importing sugar in a big way in the past week.
Commenting on the overall food price situation, the minister said, "Let's wait for the impact of measures taken recently."
He also spoke about the price situation of wheat and rice and hoped that states will lift the food grains in order to bring down the prices.
"We have given instructions to the Food Corporation of India (FCI) to sell wheat and rice in the open market from today. I believe that states will co-operate," Pawar said.
Last week, the minister had said the Centre would sell 2-3 million tonnes of wheat and rice in the open market over the next two months.
Pawar also said the Centre is ready to take corrective steps if States point out to deficiencies in the measures being taken for controlling food prices. Also, it would place before the state governments some more steps to tackle the price issue.
The Prime Minister has convened a meeting of Chief Ministers on January 27 to discuss food inflation, he said.
The meeting will also take up issues like taxation and prosecution against hoarders, besides the Centre releasing a blueprint before the states.

VDE puts battery test center into operation
The VDE Battery Test Center, located in Offenbach near Frankfurt, offers more than 50 test stands enabling engineers to put lithium-ion batteries through their paces. The test stands are dimensioned in a way that they also batteries for heavy trucks can be tested; these batteries feature a weight of up to 400kg and measure up to 120 x 120 cm.
The heart of the center is a test stand designed to get granular on battery behavior in particularly heavy accidents. It includes a drop tower in which the batteries can be dropped from an altitude of 10 meters. During the free fall from this altitude, the test objects reach a speed of 50 km/h. The fall and the impact against a concrete basis or against another obstacle can be recorded by means of a high-speed camera, enabling the test engineers to exactly examinate the impact. The In order to pass the test, the batteries must not catch fire.
In another part of the building, test machines squeeze the batteries with exactly defined forces. They also can be pierced with a metal thorn. Criteria defined in test standards such as the intruding speed of the thorn are precisely controlled.
The test center allows not only safety testing but also examinations regarding the long-term stability. Specific test stands answer the questions of the battery is sealed against spray water or dust. Do the plastic materials used to build the batteries provide sufficient protection against ultraviolet radiation? Do the materials corrode in atmospheres with high salt content or humidity? How does the behavior of the device under test change at temperatures of -70° or below? How does a fast temperature change of 24K per minute affect the battery's long-term stability?
Mechanical stress as it occurs under poor street conditions can be simulated at a vibration test stand. During these tests, the battery has to withstand forces of up to 120 kilo newton which change direction within a fraction of a second.
Being an electrochemical device, lithium ion batteries change their behavior as a function of the charging cycle. For this reason, the batteries under test can be charged or discharged during the test cycle with up to 800A.
Though the new test center focuses on batteries for cars and trucks, also batteries for two-wheeler such as e-bikes or pedelecs can be tested.

Compliance Specialist Jobs
Compliance Specialist Overview
A Compliance Specialist is responsible for ensuring that a company is following all rules, regulations and laws relating to the operation of a business in its state or country. The exact laws dealt with depends on the location and industry of a company, but they often include complying with worker safety codes and tax law. Many Compliance Specialists work freelance or on a contract basis from a central firm.
Compliance Specialist Educational Requirements
A minimum of a bachelor's degree is required to become a Compliance Specialist. Knowledge of business and tax law is necessary as is the ability to research and analyze extensive amounts of data. Typically, a moderate to large amount of on-the-job training is provided because each industry varies in the laws that it must follow. Computer skills are beneficial along with the ability to communicate clearly and translate difficult concepts into more simple terms.
Compliance Specialist Job Market
Compliance Specialists are rarely employed on a full-time basis. Only large corporations keep them on hand at all times. The vast majority are employed by firms that contract individual specialists out on a freelance basis. There are an estimated 239,800 Compliance Specialists currently employed. That number that is expected to grow by 5 percent by 2022 to a total of 250,800. A similar compliance position would be as a Compliance Coordinator.
Compliance Specialist Salary
Compliance Specialists can make a decent amount of money depending on where they are employed. Annual salaries can be as low as $26,000 but tend to be around $50,000, even on the lower end. The upper limits of income are around $87,000 annually. Compliance Specialists who work freelance can charge higher rates than those who are employed full time as there are no benefits involved when paying a freelance employee.

This application claims priority to co-pending U.S. Provisional Patent Application Nos. 60/961,062 entitled System and Method to Authenticate, Authorize and Serve Images On Private Email Messages and 60/961,061 entitled System and Method to Authenticate and Authorize Private Links Through Email Messages, both filed Jul. 19, 2007 and both of which are hereby incorporated by reference for all purposes.
The invention relates to the area of computing networks, and more particularly to the area of network authentication.
Information is shared online with increasing frequency. For instance, so-called �social networks� have exploded in popularity over recent years. Social networks allow users to create their own personalized site or �space� online for others to see. On these personalized sites, the users publish personal information and frequently include pictures of themselves or their loved ones. Social networks are a great way for people to keep in touch with family, friends, or colleagues, and to meet new people.
However, for all their benefits, social networks are not without their drawbacks. Many people are concerned about their privacy and resist the urge to share their personal information online. While many people do share information about themselves online, very many more are reluctant to do so because of the risk that their information would fall into the wrong hands or be used in some unintended and nefarious way. For instance, the pictures that users upload to their personalized sites may be copied by others and used in unauthorized and even offensive ways. People fear that malevolent stalkers could use the publicized information to find them and perhaps do them harm.
Mechanisms exist that seek to reduce or even eliminate the risks associated with publishing personal information online. The most common, and perhaps most effective method is to disallow the general public from viewing one's social network site unless personally invited. With this system, the site owner authorizes someone else to visit the owner's site, generally by invitation. However, these invitations require the invitee to create their own account with the social network and then log in with the service in order to view the owner's site. While it may seem a small task, the need to create a new account and remember new login credentials is enough of a burden to put many people off.
Another mechanism to protect personal content is to keep the location of the personal content secret, and only share a link to that content with authorized individuals. However, this mechanism suffers from the shortcoming that there is nothing to prevent those authorized individuals from sharing the private link with other, unauthorized individuals.
Although described here in the context of social networking, many other online services also suffer from the same drawbacks as just described. For example, services exist that allow online access to documents or electronic messages, rather than personal information, to be granted by site owners. The hurdle created by requiring login credentials for visitors is a pervasive problem that afflicts many different online services.
An adequate solution to these difficult problems has proven elusive to those skilled in the art, until now.
The invention is generally directed at a system and method for authorization of a visitor to a web site. In one implementation, the system provides visitors to a web site with semi-automatic authorization, in which the user need not take any explicit steps to confirm the authorization. The system uses a specially formed URL that provides visitors access to secure content without requiring a sign-in and/or sign-up step, yet, if the URL is forwarded to others the content is not accessible. The URL can be delivered in an electronic message.
The novel features believed characteristic of the invention are set forth in the appended claims. The invention itself, however, as well as a preferred mode of use, further objectives and advantages thereof, will best be understood by reference to the following detailed description of an illustrative embodiment when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Moreover, in the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. The invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are intended to convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art. Furthermore, all �examples� given herein are intended to be non-limiting.
Briefly stated, the following embodiments illustrate one preferred system that uses a specially formed URL to provide visitors access to secure content without requiring a sign-in and/or sign-up step, yet, if the URL is forwarded to others the content is not accessible. In one specific embodiment, the URL is delivered in an electronic message.
As shown in
The Web content 116 being served may include both public content 117 and secure content 118. As suggested by their names, the public content 117 is accessible without regard to secure credentials, and the secure content 118 is only accessible to those visitors who are authorized. The public content 117 may include any information that the operator of the server deems appropriate for public access, such as general information pages, login or startup pages, access to public documents, and the like.
The secure content 118 includes information that the operator of the server deems inappropriate for public access, such as individual user pages, private documents, personal images, and the like. The secure content 118 is only accessible to certain users, such as the operator of the server 110, the owner of the secure pages 118, and those expressly authorized by the owner of the secure content 118, to name a few. There may be multiple divisions within the secure content, in which different subsets of the content are available to differently authorized users.
User data 120 includes information that identifies accounts and information about the account holders for users who make use of the services provided by the server 110. For example, if the server 110 were affiliated with a social networking online service, the user data 120 could include identifying information about the owners of the several personal sites served by the social network. The user data 120 would also identify any other users that the owner authorized to view the owner's site, which likely includes some secure content 118. The user data 120 may also include much additional information, such as billing information for the individual users and perhaps usage information collected about the users' browsing habits.
An authorization engine 112 is specially configured to evaluate requests for the secure content 118 to determine if a requesting visitor is authorized to view the requested secure page. The authorization engine 112, among other things, makes use of stored user data 120 and an authorization table 114 (described below) to determine whether to allow access to a requested secure page 118. It should be apparent that access to public content 117 generally does not require special authorization. Although introduced here, one illustrative process that may be implemented by the authorization engine 112 is described in detail below in conjunction with
In one embodiment, the authorization engine 112 is further configured to construct an electronic message (e-mail message) in response to an invitation to view secure content 118. In addition, the authorization engine 112 includes logic to formulate a special code (an �authorization code�) that may be included in an e-mail message to authorize the recipient, and only the recipient, of the message to view secure content 118. In one specific implementation, the special code takes the form of a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) or may be embedded within a URL. One specific implementation of such a special URL is illustrated in
The client computer 150 may be a general purpose computing device operative to connect to other computing devices, such as the server 110, over the network 105. In this implementation, the client computer 150 includes an e-mail client 152 and a browser 170. The e-mail client 152 is a software program used to communicate using electronic messages. The e-mail client 152 may be configured to communicate with other servers (not shown) using messaging protocols, such as POP3, IMAP, and SMTP, to exchange electronic messages with other users. In this particular implementation, the e-mail client 152 has received an e-mail message 153 from the server 110. The e-mail message 153 includes a link 155 and an image 157. The link 155 includes a special code that identifies the location of secure content 118 for which the recipient of the e-mail message 153 has been authorized. One particular implementation (among many) of the link 155 is illustrated in

The protocol 201 identifies the particular communication protocol to use to retrieve the identified resource. Examples of acceptable protocols include http, https, ftp, gopher, telnet, mailto, news, wais, and file. The server ID 203 identifies the domain at which the identified resource resides. The path 205 indicates the location of the identified resource within a folder structure at the identified domain. The resource ID 211 particularly identifies the resource, such as by name.
In this implementation, the trigger code 207 is a special code indicating that the link 155 includes an authorization code 209. The trigger code 207 is optional. The authorization code 209 may include a Message-Id 230 that uniquely identifies each message sent, a User-Id 231 if the message was sent to a registered user and an Item-Count 232 that is a counter of the number of messages sent, so even messages sent to the same email-id and user-id can be uniquely identified. Optionally, the entire authorization code 209 may be encrypted or signed to prevent malicious interference.
Returning to
The client 150 also includes browser software 170, which is a software program for retrieving and rendering network accessible resources. The browser 170 includes a rendering engine (not shown) operative to interpret markup language documents and display the interpreted content. The browser 170 is also configured to store and transmit persistent data, such as so-called �cookies� 171, which are small text files that include information that is transmitted to a domain in conjunction with a request (e.g., an HTTP GET request) for a resource resident at that domain. Cookies are well known in the art.
The e-mail client 152 is illustrated as a separate component from the browser 170 in this implementation, although it should be appreciated that in other implementations the e-mail client 152 and the browser 170 could be the same component. For instance, the browser 170 could be used to access an e-mail account over the network 105 and view messages stored on a remote server (commonly referred to as �webmail�).
The operation of the system 100 illustrated in
Turning first to
The authorization engine 112 also creates an e-mail message addresses to the visitor's e-mail address (step 405). The special URL is included as a link 155 in the e-mail message, and the message 153 is transmitted to the visitor (step 407) via the client computing device 150.
Turning now to
At the server, the web server program 111 passes the request off to the authorization engine 112, which performs a set of tests and checks to authenticate and authorize the visitor making the request. First, the authentication engine 112 determines if the request is already authorized by determining if the request included an authorization cookie (step 505). If not, then the request is not authorized. If the request includes an authorization cookie, then the request is authorized without further input from the visitor and without
However, if the request did not include the authorization cookie, the authorization engine 112 detects the authorization code 209, decrypts it (if necessary), decodes it, verifies its integrity, and checks if the authorization code 209 has been accessed (step 507). The authorization engine 112 determines if this is the �first click�, meaning that at no time prior has a request been received from a browser using that exact URL 155, by referencing the authorization table 114.
Turning briefly to
Accordingly, the authorization engine 112 locates the record having the appropriate message ID 230 in the message ID field 303, and the appropriate count 232 in the counter field 307. Then, if the clicked field 309 for the identified record is still zero, this indicates that the link 155 has never been clicked, thus this is the �first click�.
Returning to
However, if the clicked field 309 is non-zero, indicating that the link 155 has already been clicked, the authorization engine 112 detects that the authorization code 209 was already accessed from a different computer. For example, if the original recipient forwarded the email message 153 to a second visitor, and the second visitor tried to click the link 155, there would not be an authorization cookie 171 with the request and the clicked field 309 would be non-zero. In this case, the authorization engine 112 may challenge the access by prompting the new visitor for an authorized email address (step 517). If the e-mail address provided by the new visitor matches (step 519) the original e-mail address of the recipient of the message 153, a new message with a new authorization code 209 is sent (step 521). In this case, the counter is incremented in both the authorization code (count 232) and the counter field 307. If the e-mail address provided by the new visitor does not match the original e-mail address, the new visitor's access is rejected, and the new visitor is prompted to request authorization from the site owner (step 523).
Addressing now the issue of images, it will be appreciated that conventional e-mail clients are not capable of delivering a cookie with a request for a resource pointed to by a URL. Thus, if the e-mail message 153 includes an image 157 pointed to with a link of the type described above, the authorization engine 112 will be unable to store an authorization cookie on the client computer 150 that can be used by the e-mail client 152. Thus, to address this case, if a request for the image 157 is received by the authorization engine 112, it sets the open field 311 in the associated record for that link to indicate that the image has been retrieved from the server 110. In addition, the authorization engine 112 will store some form of identifying information (the requesting IP address in this implementation) in authorization table 114. If the IP address is used (IP address field 313), subsequent requests for the image originating either from the same IP address or from an IP address sufficiently similar to the same IP address will be authorized.
The system 100 may also provide a multiple configuration mechanism so site owners can balance security versus convenience for their users. The mechanism can be configured for less security, such as authorizing everybody (regardless of whether invited), but log their access (step 505). Alternatively, the mechanism can be configured for greater security, where new visitors are required to confirm their email address each time they click on a link on in email message (step 530).
The system 100 may also implement audit information for each message sent and for each request associated with a clicked link. This way it is possible to know if an e-mail message was accessed from a single computer and if it was forwarded to others. Moreover, the system 100 may be configured to transmit an authorization code to authorized users in conjunction with any communication with the users, not only in conjunction with invitations to authorize other users.

I've been thinking about getting a dog for the past 6 months or so. And thinking. Annnnd…thinking.
I had in my mind what I wanted: a Goldendoodle! They don't shed like Poodles and have the temperament of a Golden Retriever…how perfect! I even went to look at some puppies over the summer but I guess I wasn't quite ready to make the short and long-term financial commitment that comes with a pet.
Then came Christmastime and I was doing my usual perusing of puppies online and I saw that the price of Goldendoodle puppies skyrocketed to $1,200! Well, pfft. There was no way I was getting one now. Continue reading
