The 5 Myths of Web Application Firewalls
0 Comments | Posted by Michael Thumann
Some days ago a security advisory related to web application firewalls (WAFs) was published on Full Disclosure. Wendel Guglielmetti Henrique found another bug in the IBM Web Application Firewall which can be used to circumvent the WAF and execute typical web application attacks like SQL injection (click here for details). Wendel talked already (look here) at the Troopers Conference in 2009 about the different techniques to identify and bypass WAFs, so this kind of bypass methods are not quite new.
Nevertheless doing a lot of web application assessments and talking about countermeasures to protect web applications there's a TOP 1 question I have to answer almost every time: "Wouldn't it be helpful to install a WAF in front of our web application to protect them from attacks?". My typical answer is "NO" because it's better to spent the resources for addressing the problems in the code itself. So I will take this opportunity to write some rants about sense and nonsense of WAFs ;-). Let's start with some – from our humble position – widespread myths:
1. WAFs will protect a web application from all web attacks .
2. WAFs are transparent and can't be detected .
3. After installation of a WAF our web application is secure, no further "To Dos" .
4. WAFs are smart, so they can be used with any web application, no matter how complex it is .
5. Vulnerabilities in web applications can't be fixed in time, only a WAF can help to reduce the attack surface.
And now let us dig a little bit deeper into these myths ;-).
1. WAFs will protect a web application from all web attacks
There are different attack detection models used by common WAFs like signature based detection, behavior based detection or a whitelist approach. These detection models are also known by attackers, so it's not too hard to construct an attack that will pass the detection engines.
Just a simple example for signatures ;-): Studying sql injection attacks we can learn from all the examples that we can manipulate "WHERE clauses" with attacks like "or 1=1". This is a typical signature for the detection engine of WAFs, but what about using "or 9=9" or even smarter 😉 "or 14<15"? This might sound ridiculous for most of you, but this already worked at least against one WAF 😉 and there are much more leet attacks to circumvent WAFs (sorry that we don't disclose any vendor names, but this post is about WAFs in general).
Another point to mention are the different types of attacks against web applications, it's not all about SQL injection and Cross-Site Scripting attacks, there also logic flaws that can be attacked or the typical privilege escalation problem "can user A access data of user B?". A WAF can't protect against these attacks, it a WAF can raise the bar for attackers under some circumstances, but it can't protect a web application from skilled attackers.
2. WAFs are transparent and can't be detected
In 2009, initially at Troopers ;-), Wendel and Sandro Gauci published a tool called wafw00f and described their approach to fingerprint WAFs in different talks at security conferences. This already proves that this myth is not true. Furthermore there will be another tool release from ERNW soon, so stay tuned, it will be available for download shortly ;-).
3. After installation of a WAF my web application is secure, no further "To Dos"
WAFs require a lot of operational effort just because web applications offer more and more functionality and the main purpose of a web application is to support the organization's business. WAF administrators have to ensure that the WAF doesn't block any legitimate traffic. It's almost the same as with Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems, they require a lot of fine tuning to detect important attacks and ensure functionality in parallel. History proves that this didn't (and still doesn't) work for most IDS/IPS implementations, why should it work for WAFs ;-)?
4. WAFs are smart, so they can be used with any web application, no matter how complex it is
Today's web applications are often quite complex, they use DOM based communication, web services with encryption and very often they create a lot of dynamic content. A WAF can't use a whitelist approach or the behavior based detection model with these complex web applications because the content changes dynamically. This reduces the options to the signature based detection model which is not as effective as many people believe (see myth No. 1).
5. Vulnerabilities in web applications can't be fixed in time, only a WAF can help to reduce the attack surface
This is one of the most common sales arguments, because it contains a lot of reasonable arguments, but what these sales guys don't tell is the fact, that a WAF won't solve your problem either ;-).
Talking about risk analysis the ERNW way we have 3 contributing factors: probability, vulnerability and impact. A WAF won't have any influance on the impact, because if the vulnerability gets exploited there's still the same impact. Looking at probabilities with the risk analysis view, you have to take care that you don't consider existing controls (like WAFs 😉 ) because we're talking about the probability that someone tries to attack your web application and I think that's pretty clear that the installation of a WAF won't change that ;-). So there's only the vulnerability factor left that you can change with the implementation of controls.
But me let me ask one question using the picture of the Fukushima incident: What is the better solution to protect nuclear plants from tsunamis? 1. Building a high wall around it to protect it from the water? 2. Build the nuclear plant at a place where tsunamis can't occur?
I think the answer is obvious and it's the same with web application vulnerabilities, if you fix them there's no need for a WAF. If you start using a Security Development Lifecycle (SDL) you can reach this goal with reasonable effort ;-), so it's not a matter of costs.
Clarifying these myths of web application firewalls, I think the conclusions are clear. Spend your resources for fixing the vulnerabilities in your web applications instead of buying another appliance that needs operational effort, only slightly reducing the vulnerability instead of eliminating it and also costing more money. We have quite a lot of experience supporting our customers with a SDL and from this experience we can say, that it works effectively and can be implemented more easily than many people think.
You are still not convinced ;-)? In short we will publish an ERNW Newsletter (our newsletter archive can be found here) describing techniques to detect und circumvent WAFs and also a new tool called TSAKWAF (The Swiss Army Knife for Web Application Firewalls) which implements these techniques for practical use. Maybe this will change your mind ;-).
have a nice day,
Broken Trust, Part 1: Definitions & Fundamentals + Some More Reflections on RSA
0 Comments | Posted by Enno Rey
This again is going to be a little series of posts. Their main topic – next to the usual deviations & ranting I tend to include in blogposts 😉 – is some discussion of "trust" and putting this discussion into the context of recent events and future developments in the infosec space. The title originates from a conversation between Angus Blitter and me in a nice Thai restaurant in Zurich where we figured the consequences of the latest RSA revelations. While we both expect that – unfortunately – not much is really going to happen (surprisingly many people, including some CSOs we know, are still trying to somehow downplay this or sweep it under the carpet, shying away from the – obvious – consequences it might have to accept that for a number of environments RSA SecurID is potentially reduced to single factor auth nowadays…), the long term impact on our understanding of 3rd party (e.g. vendor) trust might be more interesting. Furthermore "Broken Trust" seems a promising title for a talk at upcoming Day-Con V… 😉
Before getting into too much detail too early I'd like to outline the model of trust, control and confidence we use at ERNW. This model was originally based on Piotr Cofta's seminal book on "Trust, Complexity and Control: Confidence in a Convergent World" and Rino Falcone's & Christiano Castelfranchi's paper "Trust and Control: A Dialectic Link" and has evolved a bit in the last two years. Let's start with some
Despite (or maybe due to) being an apparently essential part of human nature and a fundamental factor of our relationships and societies there is no single, concise definition of "trust". Quite some researchers discussing trust related topics do not define the term at all and presume some "natural language" understanding. This is even more true in papers in the area of computer science (CS) and related fields, the most prominent example being probably Ken Thompson's " Reflections on Trusting Trust" where no definition is provided at all. Given the character and purpose of RFCs in general and their relevance for computer networks it seems an obvious course of action to look for an RFC providing a clarification. In fact the RFC 2828 defines as follows
"Trust […] Information system usage: The extent to which someone who relies on a system can have confidence that the system meets its specifications, i.e., that the system does what it claims to do and does not perform unwanted functions."
which is usually shortened to statements like "trust = system[s] perform[s] as expected". We don't like this definition for a number of reasons (outside the scope of a blogpost) and prefer the definition the Italian sociologist Diego Gambetta published in his paper "Can we trust trust?" in 1988 (and which has – while originating from another discipline – gained quite some adoption in CS) that states
"trust (or, symmetrically, distrust) is a particular level of the subjective probability with which an agent assesses that another agent or group of agents will perform a particular action, both before he can monitor such action (or independently of his capacity ever to be able to monitor it) and in a context in which it affects his own action."
With Falcone & Castelfranchi we define control as
"a (meta) action:
a) Aimed at ascertaining whether another action has been successfully executed or if a given state of the world has been realized or maintained […]
b) aimed at dealing with the possible deviations and unforeseen events in order to positively cope with them (intervention)."
It should be noted that the term "control" is used here with a much broader sense (thus the attribute "meta" in the above definition) than in some information security standard documents (e.g. the ISO 27000 family) where control is defined as a "means of managing risk, including policies, procedures, guidelines, practices or organizational structures, which can be of administrative, technical, management, or legal nature." [ISO27002, section 2.2]
Following Cofta's model both, trust and control, constitute ways to build confidence which he defines as
"one's subjective probability of expectation that a certain desired event will happen (or that the undesired one will not happen), if the course of action is believed to depend on another agent".
[I know that this sounds quite similar to Gambetta's definition of trust but I will skip discussing such subtleties for the moment, in this post. ;-).]
Putting the elements together & bringing the whole stuff to the infosec world
Let's face it: in the end of the day all the efforts we as security practitioners take ultimately serve a simple goal, that is somebody (be it yourself, your boss or some CxO of your organization) reaching a point where she states "considering the relevant risks and our limited resources, we've done what is humanly possible". Or just "it's ok the way it is. I can sleep well now".
I'm well aware that this may sound strange to some readers still believing in a "concret, concise and measurable approach to information security" but this is the reality in most organizations. And the mentioned point of "it's ok" reflects fairly precisely the above definition of confidence (with the whole of events threatening the security of an environment being "another agent").
Now, this state of confidence can be attained on two roads, that of "control" (applying security controls and, having done so, subsequently sleeping well) or that of "trust" (reflecting on some elements of the overall picture and then refraining from the application of certain security controls, still sleeping well).
A simple example might help to understand the difference: imagine you move to a new house in another part of the world. Your family is set to arrive one week later, so you have some days left to create an environment you consider "to be safe enough" for them.
What would you do (to reach the state of confidence)? I regularly ask this question in workshops I give and the most common answers go like "install [or check] the doors & locks", "buy a dog", "install an alarm system". These are typical responses for "technology driven people" and the last one, sorry guys, is – as of my humble opinion – a particularly dull one given this is a detective/reactive type of control requiring lots of the most expensive operational resource, that is human brain (namely for follow-up on alarms = incident response). Which, btw, is the very reason why it pretty much never works in a satisfying manner, in pretty much any organization.
And yes, I understand that naming this regrettable reality is against the current vogue of "you'll get owned anyway – uh, uh APT is around – so you need elaborate detection capabilities. just sign here for our new fancy SIEM/deep packet inspection appliance/deep inspection packet appliance/revolutionary network monitoring platform" BS.
Back to our initial topic (I announced some ranting, didn't I? ;-)): all this stuff (doors & locks, the dog, the alarm system) follow the "control approach" and, more importantly and often overlooked, they all might require quite some operational effort (key management for the doors – don't underestimate this, especially if you have a household full of kids 😉 -, walking the dog, tuning the alarm system & as stated above: resolving the incidents one it goes off, etc.).
Another approach – at least for some threats, to some assets – could be to find out which parties are involved in the overall picture (the neighbors, the utility providers, the legal authorities and so on) and then, maybe, deciding "in this environment we have trust in (some of) those and that's why we don't need the full set of potential controls". Living in a hamlet with about 40 inhabitants, in the Bavarian country side, I can tell you that the handling of doors and locks there certainly is a different one than in most European metropolises…
Some of you might argue here "nice for you, Enno, but what's the application in corporate information security space?". Actually that's an easy one. Just think about it:
– Do you encrypt the MPLS links connecting your organization's main sites? [Most of you don't, because "we trust our carriers". Which can be a entirely reasonable security decision, depending on your carriers… and their partners… and the partners of their partners…]
– Do you perform full database encryption for your ERP systems hosted & operated by some outsourcing provider? [Most of you don't, trusting that provider, which again might be a fully legitimate and reasonable approach].
– Did you ever ask the company providing essential parts of your authentication infrastructure if they kept copies of your key material and, more importantly, if they did so in a sufficiently secure way? [Most of you didn't, relying on reputation-based trust "everybody uses them, and aren't they the inventors of that algorithm widely used for banking transactions? and isn't 'the military' using this stuff, too?" or so].
So, in short: trust is a confidence-contributing element and common security instrument in all environments and – here comes the relevant message – this is fully ok. As efficient information security work (leading to confidence) relies on both approaches: trust (where justified) and control (where needed). Alas most infosec people still have a control-driven mindset, not recognizing the value of trust. [this will have to change radically in "the age of the cloud", more on this in a later part of this series].
Unfortunately, both approaches (trust & control) have their own respective shortcomings:
– following the control road usually leads to increased operational cost & complexity and might have severe business impact.
– trust, by it's very nature (see the "Gambetta definition" above) is something "subjective" and thereby might not be suited to base corporate security decisions on 😉
BUT – and I'm finally getting to the main point of this post 😉 – if we could transform "subjective trust" into sth documented and justified, it might become a valuable and accepted element in an organization's infosec governance process [and, again, this will have to happen anyway, as in the age of the cloud, the control approach is doomed. and pls don't try to tell me the "we'll audit our cloud providers then" story. ever tried to negotiate with $YOUR_FAVORITE_IAAS_PROVIDER on data center visits or just very basic security reporting or sth.?].
Still, then the question is: What could that those "reasons for trust" be?
Evaluating trust(worthiness) in a structured way
There are various approaches to evaluate factors that contribute to the trustworthiness of another party (called "trustee" in the following) and hence the own (the "trustor's") trust towards that party. For example, Cofta lists three main elements, that are (the associated questions in brackets are paraphrases by myself):
- Continuity ("How long will we work together?")
- Competence ("Can $TRUSTEE provide what we expect?")
- Motivation ("What's $TRUSTEE's motivation?")
We, howver, usually prefer the avenue the ISECOM uses for their Certified Trust Analyst training which is roughly laid out here. It's based on ten trust properties, two of which are not aligned with our/Gambetta's definition of trust and are thereby omitted (these two are "control" and "offsets", for obvious reasons. Negotiating a compensation to be paid when the trust is broken constitutes the exact opposite of trust… it can contribute to confidence, but not to trust in the above sense). So there's eight left and these are:
- Size ("Who exactly are you going to trust?". In quite some cases this might be an interesting question. Think of carriers partnering with others in areas of the world called "emerging markets" or just think of RSA and its shareholders. And this is why background checks are performed when you apply for a job in some agency; they want to find out who you interact with in your daily life and who/what might influence your decisions.).
- Symmetry ("Do they trust us?". This again is an interesting, yet often neglected, point. I first stumbled across this when performing an MPLS carrier evaluation back in 2007).
- Transparency ("How much do we know about $TRUSTEE?").
- Consistency ("What happened in the past?". This is the exact reason why to-be-employers ask for criminal records of the to-be-employees.).
- Integrity ("[How] Do we notice if $TRUSTEE changes?").
- Value of Reward ("What do we gain by trusting?" If this one has enough weight, all the others might become irrelevant. Which is exactly the mechanism Ponzi schemes are based upon. Or your CIO's decision "to go to the cloud within the next six months" – overlooking that the departments are already extensively using AWS, "for demo systems" only, of course 😉 – or, for that matter, her (your CIO's decision) to virtualize highly classified systems by means of VMware products ;-). See also this post of Chris Hoff on "the CxO part in the game".).
- Components: ("Which resources does $TRUSTEE rely on?").
- Porosity ("How separated is $TRUSTEE from it's environment?").
Asking all these questions might either help to get a better understanding who to trust & why and thereby contribute to well-informed decision taking or might at least help to identify the areas where additional controls are needed (e.g. asking for enhanced reporting to be put into the contracts).
Applying this stuff to the RSA case
So, what does all this mean when reflecting on the RSA break-in? Why exactly is RSA's trustworthiness potentially so heavily damaged?
As a little exercise, let's just pick some of the above questions and try to figure the respective responses. Like I did in this post three days after RSA filed the 8-K report I will leave potential conclusions to the valued reader…
Here we go:
- "Size", so who exactly are you trusting when trusting "RSA, The Security Division of EMC"? Honestly, I do not know much about RSA's share- and stakeholders. Still, even though not regarding myself as particularly prone to conspiracy theories, I think that Sachar Paulus, the Ex-CSO of SAP and now a professor for Corporate Security and Riskmanagement at the University of Applied Sciences Brandenburg, made some interesting observations in this blogpost.
- "Symmetry" (do they trust us?): everybody who had the dubious pleasure to participate in one of those – hilarious – conference calls RSA held with large customers after the initial announcement in late March, going like
"no customer data was compromised."
"what do you mean, do you mean no seed files where compromised?"
"as we stated, no customer data, that is PII was compromised."
"So what about the seeds?"
"as we just said, no customer data was compromised."
"and what about the seeds?"
"we can't comment on this further due to the ongoing investigation. but we can assure you no customer data was compromised."
might think of an answer on his/her own…
- "Transparency": well, see above. One might add: "did they ever tell you they kept a copy of your seed files?" but, hey, you never asked them, did you? I mean, even the (US …) defense contractors use this stuff, so why should one have asked such silly questions…
- "Integrity", which the ISECOM defines as "the amount and timely notice of change within the target". Well… do I really have to comment on "the amount [of information]" and "timely notice" RSA delivered in the last weeks & months? Some people assume we might never have known of the break-in if they'd not been obliged to file a 8-K form (as standard breach-laws might not have kicked in, given – remember – "no customer data was exposed"…) and there's speculation we might never have known that actually the seeds were compromised if the Lockheed Martin break-in hadn't happened. I mean, most of us were pretty sure it _was_ about the seed files, but of course, it's easy to say so in hindsight 😉
- "Components" and "porosity": see above.
If you have been wondering "why do my guts tell me we shouldn't trust these guys anymore?" this post might serve as a little contribution to answering this question in a structured way. Furthermore the intent was to provide some introduction to the wonderful world of trust, control and confidence and its application in the infosec world. Stay tuned for more stuff to come in this series.
Have a great sunday everybody, thanks
Extracting Data from Very Large Pcap Files – Part 3: Pcap Filtering in the Cloud
2 Comments | Posted by Enno Rey
This is the third (and last) part of the series (parts 1 & 2 here). We'll provide the results from some additional tests supported by public cloud services, namely AWS (Amazon Web Services).
Lab Setup
The Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (short: EC2) provides a flexible environment for the on demand provisioning of virtual machines of different performance levels. For our lab setup, a so-called extra large instance was used. According to Amazon, the technical specs are the following:
15 GB memory
8 EC2 Compute Units (4 virtual cores with 2 EC2 Compute Units each)
1,690 GB instance storage
64-bit platform
I/O Performance: High
API name: m1.xlarge
Since the I/O performance of single disks had turned out to be the bottleneck in the "local" setup, eight Elastic Block Storage (short: EBS) volumes were created and attached to the instance. Each EBS volume is hosted within a specific availability zone and can be attached to instances running in the same zone. EBS volumes can be created and attached issuing two commands of the amazon ec2 command line tools. Therefore the amount of storage can be scaled up very easily. The only requirement (for our tests) is the existence of a sufficient number of EBS volumes which then contain parts of the pcap file to be analyzed.
During the benchmarks, the performance was significantly lower than with the setup described in the previous post, even though eight different EBS volumes were used to avoid the bottleneck of a single storage volume. The overall performance of the test was seemingly limited by the I/O performance restriction within virtualized instances and virtualized storage systems. Following the overall cloud computing paradigm, performance limitations of this kind might be circumvented by using multiple resources which do the processing in parallel. This could be done by using multiple instances or by using frameworks like Amazon MapReduce which are designed to process huge sets of data. Applying this approach to the analysis of pcap files, the structure of the pcap format carries some inherent problems. The format consists of a binary representation of the data which is structured by the time of the captured packets and not by logical packet traces. Therefore it would be necessary to process the complete pcap file by each instance to extract all streams to identify which streams of the file are to be analyzed by the concrete worker instance. This prevents an efficient distribution of the analysis in multiple jobs or input files. If the captured network data would be stored in separate streams instead of one big pcap file, the processing using a map/reduce algorithm would be possible and thus potentially increase scalability significantly.
That said, finally here are the results of our testing (test methodology described in earlier post):
So it took much longer to extract the data from a 500 GB file which can be attributed to the increased latency times accessing centralized storage (from a SAN/over the network) when compared to locally connected SSDs.
Hopefully this little series provided some insight for you, dear readers. We'll publish the full technical report as an ERNW Newsletter in the next months.
Have a good one, thanks
Extracting Data from Very Large Pcap Files – Part 2: Results from the Local Lab
0 Comments | Posted by Enno Rey
In the first post I've laid out the tools and lab setup, so in this one I'm going to discuss some results.
Description of overall test methodology
To evaluate the performance of the different setups used to analyze capture data, both tcpdump and pcap_extractor (see last post) were used. For the tests, five capture files were created using mergecap. Various sample traffic dumps were merged to five large files with different file sizes. All these files consisted of several capture files containing a variety of protocols (including iSCSI and FCoE packets). Capture files of ∼40, ∼80, ∼200, ∼500, and ∼800 GB size were created and were analyzed with both tools. For all tests the filtering expressions for tcpdump and pcap_extractor were configured to search for a specific source IP and a specific destination IP matching to iSCSI packets contained in the capture file. Additionally pcap_extractor was "instructed" to look for some search string (formatted like a credit card number).To address the performance bottleneck (again, see last post), that is the I/O throughput, two different setups of the testing environment (see above) were implemented, the first one going with a raid0 approach using four SSD hard drives, the second one with four individual SSD hard drives, each of them processing only a fourth of the analyzed capture file. Standard UNIX time command was invoked to measure the time of execution. Additionally the tools analyzing the data were started with the highest possible scheduling priority to ensure execution with the maximum of available resources. This is a sample command line invoking the test:
/usr/bin/time -hp /usr/bin/nice -n -19 ./pcap_test2 -i $i/in.pcap -o $i/out.pcap -f "ip src 192.168.1.207 and ip dst 192.168.1.208" -s "5486000000620012" > $i/out &
The most interesting results table is shown below:
So actually extracting a given search string from a 500 GB file could be done in about 21 minutes, employing readily available tools and using COTS hardware for about 3K EUR (as of March 2011). This means that an attacker disposing of (large) data sets resulting from previous eavesdropping attacks will most likely succeed in getting the exact data she's going after. Furthermore the time needed scales in a lineary fashion with the file size, so that processing a 1 TB data volume presumably would have taken ∼42 minutes, a 2 TB file would have taken ∼84 minutes and so on. In addition, SSD prices are constantly declining, too.
Thus it could be shown that the perception that the sheer volume of data gained from eavesdropping attacks on high speed links might prohibit an attacker from analyzing this data is, well, simply not correct ;-).
Risk Assessment & Mitigating Controls
Several factors come into play when trying to assess the actual risk of this type of attack. Let's put it like this: once an attacker disposes either of physical access to a fibre at some point or is able to get into the transport path by means of certain network based attacks – which are going to be covered in another, future post – collecting and analyzing the data is an easy task. If you have sufficient reasons for trusting the party actually implementing the connection (e.g. a carrier offering Metro Ethernet services) and "the overall circumstances" you might rely on the isolation properties provided by the service and topology. In case you either don't have sufficient reasons to trust (some discussion on approaches to "evaluate trustworthiness" can be found here or here) or in highly regulated environments, using encryption technologies on layer 2 (like these or these) might be a safer approach.
In the next post we'll discuss the cloud based test setup, together with its results. Stay tuned &
have a great day,

Project Spotlight
Pedestrian Patterns by Mark Salinas. Presented with the Long Island City Partnership. Thomson Avenue Bridge between Skillman Avenue and 44th Drive, Queens. Current Installation.
On a crisp spring day, DOT Art gathered with the Long Island City Partnership, artist Mark Salinas, LaGuardia Community College, volunteers and local City officials to celebrate "Pedestrian Patterns," a 6,000 sq. ft. mural located between Skillman Avenue and 44th Drive in Queens. At the unveiling event, a professor from LaGuardia Community College shared an anecdote that qualifies as a good NYC story. One day while riding on the 7 train to LaGuardia, the professor was in the same subway car as one of the student volunteers she had recruited for the project. When the mural came into view, the student stood up and enthusiastically pointed out the mural announcing his participation. He got a standing ovation from the other riders!191st Street Tunnel
Congratulations again to local Washington Heights artist Andrea Von Bujdoss (Queen Andrea), Fernando Carlo, Jr. (COPE 2) born and raised in the Bronx, Queens-based artist Nick Kuzsyk, Nelson Rivas (Cekis) currently living in Brooklyn and Maryland-based duo Jessie Unterhalter and Katey Truhn who presented 5 murals within the 191st Street Tunnel.

Butterscotch chips impart a subtle caramel flavor that pairs perfectly with oats and nuts.
Both old-fashioned and quick-cooking oats are whole oats that have been steamed and rolled. Because the quick-cooking variety is cut into small pieces before steaming, it gives baked goods a softer texture.
We like using butterscotch chips in these yummy cookies, but you can try making them with chocolate chips instead.

Rustic Herb Stuffing
I've said it in the past, and I'll say it again. I have never made homemade stuffing before this Thanksgiving. I don't know what it is but that Stouffer's Stove Top stuffing kicks ass and I crave it every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas. This year though, that is all changing. I have officially celebrated Thanksgiving twice before the actual holiday, and both times I made this stuffing. I kid you not, it was a total crowd pleaser. All the herbs and flavors that go into this stuffing really highlight all the other dishes served at the meal. It's kinda a big deal. And you should totally make it. For real!
Ingredients Instructions
I am so excited you are making one of my recipes and I would love to see how it turns out. Make sure to share it on instagram and tag me @whatsgabycookin so I can see your masterpiece!

it better go up tomorrow... or this may be done and go much lower.
Selling now only makes sense if you got in at $18 months ago. As we get into April and closer to earnings buyers should come back. If the stock dropped to $24 or $25, Zuck would probably say something. Also with a target of $33, there is just too much upside for much further slide on new news.
Sentiment: Buy
pretty much in agreement... anything lower that 25.80 is extreme accumulation phase for this stock and may cause some to panic sell. It may test that support level again but should not stay below that number long imo...

Fresh Eggs
Before 2004 donor eggs were traditionally obtained through fresh donor IVF. These eggs are called "fresh" for one simple reason – you're going to try fertilization immediately after the eggs are retrieved or removed from the donor, and therefore, we don't need to freeze them.
Retrieving fresh eggs is not as simple as one may think. Once you've chosen your egg donor, she'll begin a regimen of hormone treatments to mature her eggs. She'll need hormone supplements to stimulate her ovaries, and the timing of her menstrual cycle must coincide precisely with yours (or your surrogate's). The donor is preparing or maturing her eggs at the same time you are preparing you body to accept them as fertilized embryos.
Eventually the eggs will be retrieved and your doctor will attempt to fertilize them. A few days later the embryo or embryos are transferred into your (or your surrogate's) uterus.
There are some logistical challenges to manage in traditional donor IVF. When you actively involve a third person in your reproductive life, you must consider her ongoing availability over a 3 – 6 month period, trust that she will pass her screening tests up to 30 days before actual egg retrieval, and trust her commitment to following medical protocol. The egg donor can often be located in a different city than you are and will need to travel to you when ready to donate her eggs. All of the costs of the fresh cycle are variable, and can change depending on circumstances (Will she need more medication? Will she have to re-test for problems? Will she need to have her plane ticket changed?).
Frozen Eggs
Pregnancy using already retrieved, frozen donor egg is truly a tremendous step forward. In 2004 scientists at The World Egg Bank developed egg freezing technologies now used by fertility doctors throughout the world. The World Egg Bank screens, prepares the donor eggs, and retrieves them before you even see them on our frozen roster. Instead of attempting fertilization right away, we freeze the eggs and store them for later use.
At a time of your choosing, the eggs are shipped within days to your doctor, where they are thawed and fertilized. Independent research shows that the probability of success is essentially the same in both the frozen and fresh egg processes.
The frozen egg process happens on your own schedule and this means that there's no need to synchronize your menstrual cycle with your egg donor's. You do not have to wait 3 – 6 months, or longer, for the egg donor to complete screening and egg retrieval, nor accept the risks of dealing with obstacles along the way and unexpected costs. This also eliminates the need for an egg donor to travel. Finally, each of our egg donors are rigorously tested and only healthy looking, mature eggs are frozen. For these reasons, a growing number of our clients prefer the frozen egg process.
Comparing Fresh vs. Frozen
- Speed of Delivery
- Availability of Multiple Embryos
- Scheduling Flexibility
- Uncertainty
- Donor Selection
- Estimated Cost
- Slow
- Multiple embryos available
- Need to sync and schedule
- Potential risks associated with donor availability and retrieval outcome
- Larger selection
- $25,000 to $40,000
- Immediate
- When a recipient receives six eggs, they are likely to obtain two embryos
- Complete flexibility
- 100% chance of viable eggs
- Smaller but, growing selection
- $17,000 plus your doctors fees
When deciding between Fresh Eggs and Frozen Eggs, recipients usually think about these factors:
Speed of Delivery
How long can you wait for your donor eggs? Are you able to undergo months of planning or is it important to have your donor eggs now?
Availability of Multiple Embryos
Is it important to have a high probability that you will have "extra" embryos, or do you prefer to start with a smaller number of eggs which typically leads to the production of 2 to 3 embryos, therefore not having multiple embryos remaining in the case of a pregnancy?
Scheduling Flexibility
Do you want to schedule your attempt to become pregnant on your own timeframe or are you able to coordinate your schedule with the egg donor's plans?
Are you able to accept the uncertainty associated with the fresh process? Is there value to you in the certainty and predictability of receiving screened, mature frozen donor eggs?
We screen donors to the highest standards nationally and internationally incorporating worldwide screening requirements.
Donor Selection
Do you want the largest possible selection of egg donors to find comfort in your choice?
To what extent does the final cost for donor eggs affect your choices?
Compare Costs
Cost: Compare Frozen vs. Fresh Cycle Costs
Cost is a critical factor when considering your donor egg options. The advantage of purchasing Frozen Eggs – either already banked or through a Custom Choice Cycle™ – is that the cost never varies. Additionally, you assume no risk; donors cannot fail screening if you choose already banked eggs, and The World Egg Bank allows you to simply select a new donor if your Custom Choice Cycle™ donor is not proven and fails screening or opts out for personal reasons. The costs of traditional Fresh Cycles can always vary depending on the location of your donor and the clinic costs for your donor's medication and retrieval. Furthermore, your clinic may prefer to do some of the screening themselves, which can increase costs as well. Below please find The World Egg Bank's Frozen/Fresh Cost Comparison.

SPUR Talk: Connecting the Foot of Lake Merritt
Wednesday afternoon, at SPUR's Oakland office, a crowd of some fifty people came to hear a panel discussion about knitting together the various attractions at the foot of Lake Merritt in Oakland.
At the southern end of Lake Merritt, Oakland's street grid funnels around several big institutions there, including the Oakland Museum of California, Laney College, and the Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center. All are poorly connected to the lake. SPUR is promoting an initiative to connect the whole schmear through art and better pedestrian linkages.
The panel was composed of Lori Fogarty from the Oakland Museum of California, Kelley Kahn from the City of Oakland Department of Economic and Workforce Development, and Walter Hood from the Hood Design Studio. Benjamin Grant, Urban Design Policy Director for SPUR, kicked off the discussion with the definition of "Place Making" from the National Endowment for the Arts:
In creative placemaking, public, private, not-for-profit, and community sectors partner to strategically shape the physical and social character of a neighborhood, town, tribe, city, or region around arts and cultural activities.
From that definition, he gave several examples from other cities of how planners and policy makers can re-activate quiet and often forgotten areas of a city with art. He cited the Pearl Street Project in Philadelphia, the Waterfire Project in Providence, Rhode Island, the Project Row Houses in Houston, Texas, and the Wynwood Walls of Miami, Florida.
All of these are fascinating examples of urban revitalization and Streetsblog readers should check out their websites. But the Wynwood Walls project seemed a particularly good approach for the institutions of Lake Merritt. Miami did a global search and brought urban artists from all over the world to paint the walls of a warehouse district. The effect was to draw people in and create an enlivened and connected urban space. Of course, Lake Merritt is already the home of the Oakland Museum of California, with its walls and multiple levels acting as an urban tableau.

Police: man saved by seat beltApril 03,2013Police: man saved by seat belt
HARTFORD A New Hampshire firefighter is being recognized by the Vermont State Police with its Saved by the Belt award after he survived a head-on crash in Interstate 89 that killed three people in the other vehicle.
Vermont State Police Traffic Safety Commander Lt. Michael Macarilla presented the award Monday in Hartford to John Hill, of the Hooksett, N.H., fire department.
Macarilla says that by properly wearing his seat belt, Hill avoided serious injury or death.
Hill was off duty during the May 7, 2012, crash. He was headed south when a northbound vehicle crossed the median and hit him.

LUBBOCK - The Texas Tech women's basketball team proved Wednesday during its 63-57 loss to Oklahoma that it can stay focused under adverse conditions.
Not only did the Lady Raiders play the Big 12 Conference-leading Sooners on the road, but they found out 90 minutes before tip-off that ill head coach Marsha Sharp was not going to be on the sidelines for the first time in her 24-year career.
Through it all, Tech was able to hang with Oklahoma before failing to capitalize on free-throw attempts late in the game.
But now, things seem back to normal, and the Lady Raiders (7-8, 2-2 in Big 12) hope to take advantage of that when they host Nebraska at 5 p.m. today at United Spirit Arena.
Tuning In
TV: FOXSS. Radio: KIXZ (940-AM), KPAN (860-AM, 106.3-FM).
Sharp returned to practice Friday after taking Thursday off and said she expects to be back on the sidelines today.
"I just feel like we're playing better now than we played at anytime during the year," Sharp said.
"We're more confident, and I think we're getting more confident on the road. The thing you have to do now is translate that into good things. We have to protect our home court and then try to steal a couple on the road next week."
The first part of that equation won't be easy, however.
The Lady Raiders have won their last five games at home, including Big 12 victories over Texas A&M and then-No. 5 Baylor.
Both games went down to the wire and it wouldn't be surprising if today's matchup followed suit.
The Cornhuskers (10-6, 2-3) should be desperate for a victory. They started Big 12 play 2-0 but have since dropped to ninth place after losing three straight to Missouri (64-58), Iowa State (79-57) and Texas (70-62).
Nebraska is paced by junior guard Kiera Hardy, who is averaging 17.9 points per game.
"She's a great player and one of the best individual scorers in the Big 12," Sharp said. "She's very difficult to defend and can get a shot off better than anybody in our conference."
Sharp said defending Hardy will have to be done by committee, but she also is cautious of letting other Nebraska players take advantage.
Freshman forward Kelsey Griffin has been a solid complement to the explosive Hardy, averaging 14.2 points and seven rebounds per outing.

Just returned from a stay with my 3 boys. Had a tremendous time. Condo has everything. Equipped with all ammenities, was like a home away from home. Grounds were kept immaculate, pool and beach very close by. Would definitely stay again if returning to PR.
Mark was fantastic to deal with. The location was great! My husband, me, and our 3 college kids stayed 10 days and the condos were fairly empty. Almost felt like our own private beach! Loved the fact you could walk a mile or two (or more) each direction down the beach. Also nice walk to the Wyndham for a drink (but be sure and take cash--no credit cards)!
To start with, Mark, the condo owner, was very professional and provided prompt answers and communication. The condo is beautiful with all of the patios, views, and the large open terrace on the upper floor. We enjoyed sitting on the patios in the morning and having dinner on the terrace in the evenings. The beach is very secluded feeling and less than a minute walk away. On the topic of location, you are close to all of the best sights in the area - the rainforest, Fajardo and the ferry to Culebra, San Juan, Ocean Park, the Kioskos area, and Luquillo Beach. We had a group of three couples and everyone had enough space as well as all of the amenities to assist with the enjoyment of an awesome vacation. It was also nice to feel safe with the gated community and security guard on site at all times. I would recommend this condo to anyone looking for a perfect location to enjoy the beauty of Puerto Rico.
Puerto Rico was beautiful. Everyone agreed that the best decision we made was to stay in this condo. It was as close to perfect as we could have asked. The beach was cleaner than the nearby resorts, the building was roomy and well designed, and the grounds were full of wildlife. It was in a perfect location for exploring Puerto Rico's environment. El Yunque was across the street. The rooftop terrace was a comforting getaway for night time meals; the wind and shade gave much needed relief from the heat. A note is in order for the welcome binder for guests. It was full of great and truthful reivews of experiences that we relied on to make our trip special.
Our week stay in Puerto Rico was wonderful thanks in part to this terrific rental unit! It was exactly as described on the Homeaway site. It was very clean, updated, and nicely furnished. Towels and linens were provided which was very helpful. They provided beach chairs and a grill for cooking out. They even provided a fresh can of famous Puerto Rican ground coffee to guests! The beds were very comfortable and the rooms were big. The unit was very spacious...plenty of room for our family of 5. We especially enjoyed the large, private rooftop terrace. It had nice views of the rainforest and offered a cool breeze in the evenings. There were more than enough smaller balconies to get away with a good book and a cool drink. The condo complex was very nice, too. It was neat, clean and regularly patrolled by security. It was very quiet until Thursday night when many of the locals came in for the holiday weekend, but even then everyone was friendly. The beach was incredible! Beautiful water, soft sand, and great views. Again, it was practically deserted early in the week...we were usually the only ones there all day...but became super crowded by Friday. The location is perfect. It was very close to the rainforest, a short drive into San Juan, and about 40 minutes to Fajardo. It is just a short walk to the beach in front of the Wyndham Rio Mar if you want to go there, but we enjoyed the beach in front of this unit so much more. The owner, Mark, was very professional to work with from beginning to end. I would highly recommend this unit for anyone looking for a vacation rental in Puerto Rico. Thanks again for the use of your beautiful home in Puerto Rico!
Mark was a pleasure to work with and was extremely accommodating. He was helpful with recommendations and quick to respond to our many questions. The condo was clean and spacious. We had 6 adults and 2 children (ages 3 and 1) stay there for the week. Mark had a pack-n-play, two booster seats and baby gates available for us to use upon arrival. There was also a closet full of beach toys and beach chairs, which was very convenient. We especially loved the outdoor space on the balconies that the condo offered. We had many meals outside soaking up the beautiful weather and there was plenty of room for the kids to run around and play. It was also handy to have such ample outdoor space for when the kids were napping. This allowed me to enjoy a cold drink while laying out on the terrace and listening to music…all while being an earshot away from the kid's room. The condo was equidistant to the pool and the beach – quite the easy walk. And there was a pleasant surprise of a small playground on the premises. The beach was spectacular; the sand was soft and the waves were big. It felt like it was our own private beach. We would definitely go back!
Just a 15 minute beach stroll to the Wyndham Rio Mar Resort with its two World-Class 18-Hole Championship Golf Courses, Restaurants, Bars, Casino, Full-Menu Spa and Fitness Center, Tennis Center and Dive Shop/Water Sports; compared to the room prices at the resort, ours is a spectacular deal for a vacation you will never forget! Less than 10 minute drive to lush El Yunque Rain Forest; Less than 10 minutes to World-Famous Luquillo Beach; 15 minute drive to Fajardo (Deep-sea Fishing, Bioluminescent Bay; airport/ferry to beautiful Vieques and Culebra Islands); Just over 30 minutes' drive to the history and culture of Old San Juan; 5-15 minutes to all amenities: supermarkets, banks, outlet shopping mall; Kmart/Wal-mart, fast food, movie theaters, everything! Great for families! Save a ton of money by cooking some of your own meals and avoiding having to eat at the expensive hotel restaurants everyday.
Other Activities: The complex also has basketball and beach volleyball courts, as well as a putting green. Or bring our beach chairs to the beach and relax!

3:10 to Yuma is a 2007 American western film directed by James Mangold and produced by Cathy Konrad, and starring Russell Crowe and Christian Bale in the lead roles, with supporting performances by Peter Fonda, Gretchen Mol, Ben Foster, Dallas Roberts, Alan Tudyk, Vinessa Shaw, and Logan Lerman. It is about a drought-impoverished rancher (Bale) who takes on the dangerous job of taking a notorious outlaw (Crowe) to justice. It is a remake of the 1957 film of the same name, making it the second adaptation of Elmore Leonard's short story "Three-Ten to Yuma". Filming took place in various locations in New Mexico. 3:10 to Yuma opened September 7, 2007, in the United States and received positive reviews from critics.[2][3]
Dan Evans (Bale) is an impoverished rancher and Civil War veteran. He owes money to Glen Hollander (Loftin) and when he fails to pay, two of Hollander's men set his barn on fire. The next morning, as Evans and his two sons drive their herd, they stumble upon outlaw Ben Wade (Crowe) and his gang who are using Evans' cattle to block the road and ambush an armored stagecoach staffed by Pinkerton agents. As Wade loots the stage, Wade discovers Evans and his two sons watching from the hills. Acknowledging that they pose no threat to him and his gang, Wade takes their horses telling Evans that he will leave them tied up on the road to Bisbee.
Wade travels with his gang to the town of Bisbee to enjoy a celebratory drink at the local saloon and divide up the loot. Evans eventually arrives with lawmen from Bisbee and tries in vain to negotiate with Hollander. Enraged at the loss of his livelihood and land, Evans tries confronting Hollander in the nearby saloon. Evans instead encounters Wade, whom he distracts long enough for the railroad guards to ambush and arrest him.
The coach's owner, Grayson Butterfield, enlists McElroy, Potter, Tucker (one of Hollander's men), and Evans, who agrees for a $200 fee to deliver Wade for arrest. From Evans' ranch, McElroy arranges a decoy wagon to distract Wade's gang, now led by Charlie Prince. The real prisoner transport charts a course for Contention, where Wade will be put on the 3:10 afternoon train to Yuma Territorial Prison.
During the journey, Wade kills Tucker with a fork he stole from the ranch and later McElroy by throwing him off a cliff. William, Evans' oldest son, who had been following the group all the way from the ranch, intercepts Wade. While taking a shortcut through a canyon, the group is attacked by Apaches. Wade kills the attackers and escapes to a Chinese laborer construction camp, where the foreman captures him. Evans, William, Potter and Butterfield appear and regain custody of their prisoner, but Potter is killed in the process. The group arrives in Contention hours before the train's arrival time and check into a hotel, where several local marshals join them.
Wade's gang members ambush the decoy wagon and interrogate the lone survivor. They learn that Wade is being delivered to Contention. Upon their arrival, they offer a reward to any citizen who helps them free Wade, and numerous men volunteer. This triggers a mass resignation of everyone escorting Wade to the train with the exception of Evans.
Evans escorts Wade out of the hotel, and the two make their way across town as they evade continuous gunfire from the townsmen. Wade surprises Evans and nearly strangles him, but relents when Evans reveals that delivering Wade to the train was not just about the money, but to restore his own sense of honor. The only Civil War battle Evans had been involved in was a retreat, and his injury was sustained through friendly fire, a fact that had humiliated him ever since. Delivering Wade would restore his family's finances, guarantee their futures and serve as an accomplishment that his sons could remember well. But Evans is contracted only to successfully deliver his prisoner to the train. In light of this knowledge, Wade agrees to board the train, allowing Evans' contract to be fulfilled.
However, Wade's gang members know nothing of this arrangement. As Wade finally boards, he congratulates Evans. At that moment, Prince walks up from behind and shoots Evans despite Wade's order to stop. Wade steps off the train and catches the gun belt Prince tosses him. Wade abruptly executes Prince along with the rest of his gang. William appears and draws his gun on Wade but finds that he cannot kill him, instead turning to his dying father. However, Wade boards the train and politely surrenders his weapon. Evans dies as William tells him he accomplished his mission. Wade's fate is left open as Wade rides the train around a bend. Wade lets out a whistle, and his faithful horse pricks up his ears and gallops after the train, suggesting that Wade will escape once again since he had already escaped twice from Yuma.

In June 2003, Columbia Pictures announced a negotiation with Mangold to helm a remake of the 1957 Western film 3:10 to Yuma, based on a script written by Michael Brandt and Derek Haas.[4] After being apart from the project for several years, Mangold resumed his role as director in February 2006. Production was slated to begin in summer 2006.[5] In the same month, Tom Cruise expressed an interest in starring as the villain in the film.[6] Eric Bana also briefly sought a role in the film.[7]
In summer 2006, Columbia placed the film in turnaround, and the project was acquired by Relativity Media. Crowe and Bale were cast as the main characters, and Relativity began seeking a distributor for the film.[7] By September, Lions Gate Entertainment signed on to distribute the film.[8] Later in the month, Peter Fonda, Gretchen Mol, Dallas Roberts, Ben Foster, and Vinessa Shaw were cast. Filming was slated to begin on October 23, 2006 in New Mexico.[9] On the first day of filming, a rider and his horse were seriously injured in a scene when the horse ran directly into a camera-carrying vehicle instead of veering off as planned. The rider was hospitalized, and the horse had to be euthanized on the set. The animal's death prompted an investigation from the American Humane Association.[10] By November, the AHA concluded its investigation, finding that the horse did not respond accordingly due to having received a dual training approach and the rider not being familiar with the mount. The organization recommended no charges against the producers.[11] Principal photography took place in and around Santa Fe, Abiquiú, and Galisteo.[12] The Bonanza Creek Ranch represented the film's town of Bisbee as a "kinder, gentler frontier town" while Galisteo was set up to be Contention (now a ghost town), a "much rougher, bawdier, kind of sin city".[13] Another location was the scenic Diablo Canyon, and another was the Gilman Tunnels (35°44′03″N 106°45′53″W / 35.734081°N 106.76475°W) along New Mexico State Road 485. Filming concluded on January 20, 2007.[12]
After filming concluded, the owners of the Cerro Pelon Ranch petitioned to keep a $2 million expansion to the movie set on their property, which was supposed to be dismantled within 90 days. The set of 3:10 to Yuma made up 75% of the overall sets on the ranch.[14] In April 2007, the request was met by the county's development review committee to keep the expansion, which would potentially generate revenue in the future.[15]
3:10 to Yuma was originally slated for an October 5, 2007 release, but Lionsgate moved the film's release a month earlier to September 7, 2007 to beat competing Western films The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford and No Country for Old Men. As a result of the move, the studio was not able to use the Toronto Film Festival as a platform for the film's release, but it was released before a cluster of films similarly vying for awards. According to Lionsgate president Tom Ortenberg, "In what is shaping up to be a very impressive and crowded field of upscale commercial motion pictures this fall, we wanted to be one of the first ones out, so that everything else will be measured against us." The earlier theatrical run positioned it for a prominent high-definition Blu-ray Disc and DVD release in the first week of January, during awards seasons. Lionsgate similarly planned this strategy for Crash (2004), which won the Academy Award for Best Picture that year.[16]
In Germany, the film was released by Columbia Pictures, which had produced the 1957 original.
Box office[edit]
3:10 to Yuma debuted in the United States and Canada on September 7, 2007 in 2,652 theaters. In its opening weekend, the film grossed $14,035,033 and ranked #1 at the U.S. and Canadian box office. 3:10 to Yuma grossed an estimated $53,606,916 in the United States and $16,409,304 in other territories for a worldwide total of $70,016,220.[1]
Critical reaction[edit]
3:10 to Yuma received positive reviews from critics. Film review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes gave the film a rating of 89%, based on 215 reviews, with an average rating of 7.5/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "The remake of this classic Western improves on the original, thanks to fiery performances from Russell Crowe and Christian Bale as well as sharp direction from James Mangold."[2] On Metacritic, the film has a score of 76 out of 100, based on 37 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[3]
Andrew Sarris of The New York Observer said "There is more greed-driven corruption in the remake than there was in the original" and that the film is less a remake "than a resurrection of both the film and its now unfashionable genre." Sarris said Fonda and Foster "are especially memorable" and said "the performances of Mr. Crowe and Mr. Bale alone are worth the price of admission."[17] The New Yorker film critic David Denby wrote that the film "is faster, more cynical, and more brutal" than the 1957 film. Denby wrote that Fonda "gives an amazingly fierce performance" and that Crowe "gives a fascinating, self-amused performance", saying "Crowe is an acting genius." Denby said "this is by far [director James Mangold's] most sustained and evocative work." Denby wrote that "much of this Western is tense and intricately wrought."[18] Ty Burr of The Boston Globe called the film "lean, almost absurdly satisfying." Burr wrote that Crowe and Bale "are among the best, most intuitively creative we have, and whatever transpires offscreen in Crowe's case, onscreen they only serve their characters. Neither man showboats here, and it's a thrill to watch them work." Burr said that the character of Ben Wade is "a snake and a snake charmer in one irresistible package" and said Foster as Charlie Prince is "mesmerizing." Burr said "Bale and Crowe never once misstep" and that Mangold "steers clear of Deadwood revisionism." Burr, however, wrote that the ending "makes little to no sense in a post-Clint Eastwood universe."[19]
Bruce Westbrook of the Houston Chronicle gave the film 3½ stars and called it "the best Western since Unforgiven", calling it "both cathartic and intelligent." He wrote that the film "draws clear inspiration from the lonely heroics of High Noon" and said "While a wildly eventful action-adventure and outlaw shoot-'em-up, it's also a vibrant story of heroism, villainy and hard-earned redemption." Westbrook said that Crowe and Bale are "at the top of their game" and "Crowe is reliably charismatic as a man who's less craven and bloodthirsty than wise, resourceful and expedient."[20] Shawn Levy of The Oregonian gave the film a "B+" and said the film is "grounded in something like the credible realism of a John Ford Western but which also can appease the thirsts for blood, wit and tension harbored by fans of Quentin Tarantino." Levy wrote "The original film spends much time on conversation between Wade and Evans and focuses more on Evans' wife, whereas the new film has more action sequences and is infused subtly with themes that echo vexing contemporary political and moral issues." Levy said "Christian Bale gives us another of his wounded, desperate, stubborn men" and "Russell Crowe fills a role originated by Glenn Ford with a big dose of the mocking charisma, cool discernment and casual cruelty of Robert Mitchum." Levy said the climax "sews up the narrative too quickly", but called the film "a fine and sturdy picture."[21]
Christian Science Monitor critic Peter Rainer gave the film a "B+" and wrote "what Alfred Hitchcock once said about thrillers also applies to Westerns: The stronger the bad guy, the better the film. By that measure, 3:10 to Yuma is excellent." Comparing the film to the 1957 film, Rainer wrote that the film "is larger in scope than its predecessor, and significantly altered in its ending, but essentially it's the same old morality play." Rainer said the "drippy father-son stuff is the least successful aspect of the movie." Rainer also wrote "Bale acts as if he's still playing the POW survivalist from Werner Herzog's Rescue Dawn" and said "his hyperrealistic performance is a drag next to Crowe's dapper prince of darkness." Rainer said Crowe's "underplaying here is in many ways as hammy as if he were overplaying, and that's just fine."[22] Richard Schickel of TIME magazine said "when a movie is as entertaining as this one, you begin to think this formerly beloved genre is due for a revival." Schickel said the 1957 film "was, in my opinion, not as good as a lot of people thought" and said Crowe "never settles for predictability when he's on screen and never lets us settle into complacency as we watch him." Schickel wrote that director Mangold "never loses his crispness or his narrative efficiency." Schickel said the comparisons to Unforgiven "are not entirely apt", saying that "Mangold's offering lacks the blackness and absurdity" of that film. He wrote, "It is more in the vein of Anthony Mann's westerns of the 1950s — trim, efficiently paced, full of briskly stated conflicts that edge up to the dark side, but never fully embrace it."[23]
Awards and nominations[edit]
The film received two Academy Award nominations for the 80th Academy Awards. Marco Beltrami was nominated for Best Original Score, and Paul Massey, David Giammarco, and Jim Stuebe were nominated for Best Sound Mixing.[24] The film also received a nomination for Best Cast at the 14th Screen Actors Guild Awards.
