The Family That Preys
Movie Review
Lots of movies end with a wedding. The Family That Preys begins with one. But the vows are barely spoken before Andrea, the bright-but-snooty bride, mentally tosses new hubbie Chris (a well-meaning construction worker) overboard and starts eyeing rich and handsome William Cartwright.
Four years later, both Chris and Andrea work for William—Chris on a Cartwright construction site, Andrea as the company's financial wizard. Clueless about Andrea's sideline infatuation-turned-affair, Chris is dumbfounded to discover that most of her co-workers don't even know she's married. Then he uncovers a secret bank account in his wife's name, loaded with nearly $300,000. (At this point you're just waiting for the sparks to start flying. And they do.)
There's no such friction between William's and Andrea's respective mothers—best friends and the multiplex's new Odd Couple. Charlotte Cartwright is a flinty, fabulously wealthy businesswoman—the real power on the Cartwright throne. Alice Pratt owns and runs a modest diner. Both are pretty satisfied with their lots in life—that is until Charlotte buys an ancient blue convertible and convinces Alice to accompany her on a no-holds-barred road trip west.
These two stories don't have much to do with each other—except everybody's related in a roundabout way. Oh, and William has plans to oust dear old Ma from her director's chair before she returns.
It's the kind of soap opera one expects to have question-raising teasers attached to it:
Announcer: Will Chris ever discover the truth? (Da-da-da-dummmm!) Will Charlotte reveal her dark secret? (Da-da-da-dummmm!) Who is that mysterious transient Alice feeds at her diner? (Da-da-da-dummmm!) And why does he keep giving her investment advice?
Tune in for these answers and more as we review ... The Family That Preys!
(Cue organ crescendo, cut to commercial.)
Positive Elements
Whatever her faults—and she has many—Charlotte is a shrewd judge of character. She picked Alice to be her best friend, didn't she?
Alice is the film's moral center. Though she apparently struggles to break even every week, she continues to work an honest day for honest pay. And she always encourages Nick (he's the transient our friendly announcer referenced) to come in and have a bite to eat, no matter how smelly he is. She paraphrases the Bible, telling her younger daughter, Pam, that we must be careful how we treat strangers. "You could be entertaining angels unawares."
She raised her kids to "love God and respect other people," and she tells wayward daughter Andrea, "You can't make yourself happy by bringing misery to other people."
When Charlotte makes an unexpected confession, Alice promises her that she'll always be there for her, like always.
Spiritual Content
Alice sings in the church choir. When Charlotte comes to listen one night, we see tears trickling down her face, moved by the music. "Alice," she asks, "do you think God forgives us for all our previous sins?" Alice explains that Jesus came down and sacrificed Himself for us on the cross for exactly that purpose.
Alice takes her Bible with her on the road trip, specifically carrying it with her into a strip club (Charlotte drags her in) and brandishes it at a male stripper who comes too close. She also throws annointing oil at one of them. When she sees Andrea in her wedding dress, she whispers quietly, "My baby. Thank you, Jesus."
Her faith is an integral part of her daily life and, as such, she has a desire to see her best friend, Charlotte, be saved. Eventually, Alice takes Charlotte's presumed salvation into her own hands, driving her friend to a riverside baptism, walking the lead-footed woman to the edge of the water and practically pushing her in.
Without a word, the preacher grabs Charlotte and dunks her under the muddy water.
Most evangelical Christians believe it takes more than getting wet to get saved, of course. (It's a heart thing, not a water thing.) But it's inspiring that this moment of spiritual significance is the only thing she really wants to do during their cross-country trek: She wants to see her friend baptized. (How many of us take the salvation of our friends so seriously?)
Sexual Content
Sideways glances and barely whispered gossip is what mostly tips us off to Andrea and William's affair. We know it for sure when we see them kiss passionately in a darkened office. The two apparently rendezvous every Wednesday at a local hotel, but we enter that room just once, watching Andrea take off her shoes and talk to someone she believes is her lover coming in the door. (Turns out, it's William's wife.)
[Spoiler Warning] Eventually, Andrea confesses the relationship and tells Chris that "their son" is actually a Cartwright—suggesting the affair had been going on nearly as long as Chris and Andrea's marriage. We learn that Andrea's own father (Alice's husband) took off with another woman himself. And Charlotte asserts that her husband bedded many other women during their marriage. (She fooled around, too, to make things fair.)
Believing William will divorce his wife and marry her, Andrea tells her mom, "This is not the '60s. It's how it's done now."
Believing that strength requires one to confront life and all of its travails with nary a whimper, Charlotte pitilessly orders her son's scorned wife to stop sobbing, stand up for herself and, essentially, take the cheating turkey for all he's worth.
"Make your demands," she says. "He'll listen. You hold all the cards."
That strip club I mentioned earlier? I'll note here that while none of the men are nude, but we do see them parading around, bare-chested and in fantasy-type get-ups. Charlotte stuffs bills into their outfits while Alice—mostly—averts her eyes.
Spouses kiss. A couple of conversations hint at sexual contact and attraction. Charlotte and Alice joke about Charlotte spending time "on her back" in the backseats of cars. Women sometimes wear tops or dresses that reveal quite a bit of cleavage.
Violent Content
There's not much violence, but what there is packs a wallop. When Chris finally understands that his wife is having an affair, he smacks her full in the face, hard enough to knock her over the diner counter and onto the floor.
Chris also hits William and almost pushes him off a high floor of a partly constructed building. In a rage, he knocks over a makeshift table, sending the top flying at a couple of construction workers.
[Spoiler Warning] We watch Charlotte take several medication bottles from her bathroom cabinet. And then in the next scene we hear that she's dead.
Crude or Profane Language
Nearly 10 uses each of "h---" and "d--n." "A--" clocks in at around five. "B--ch" makes an appearance. "Screw" is twice used in a sexual context. And God's name is uttered flippantly at least three times.
Drug and Alcohol Content
Alice doesn't drink. Pretty much everybody else does. William's wife practically begs for a drink before Andrea's wedding. Pam's husband, Ben, tells Chris he's going to buy him booze so he can relax—even though Chris apparently had plenty to drink at his bachelor party the night before. William and his wife drink whiskey or bourbon after work, and Andrea pours herself some vodka. Ben pops open a beer. One woman, sipping a martini, is so inebriated that she lets slip details of Andrea and William's affair.
And Charlotte? Well, she drinks more than anybody. She asks for a bourbon while interviewing an executive for her business. She sips on a hurricane in New Orleans. She slams back multiple shots of tequila at a country bar. And it's suggested she's suffering from a hangover on the way to her forced baptism. After she's dunked, the first words out of her mouth are about needing more liquor.
Other Negative Elements
"My family has been known to prey on the weak," Charlotte says. And while some aspects of that strength-first-compassion-never attitude are condemned during the course of the story, others aren't.
Andrea shows a distinct lack of gratitude to Charlotte, who pays for her wedding. Andrea and her family holler a great deal at one another in the presence of Andrea's young child. Ben and Chris discuss playing poker. Charlotte, we learn, has been divorced three times. William unfairly fires Chris and Ben. Chris spends Andrea's "bonus money" without her knowledge.
I've long found it strange that, in a country where nearly 80 percent of the population says it believes in the Christian God, so few films acknowledge religion at all.
Writer/producer/director/musician/actor Tyler Perry must feel the same way.
"I'm not sure why no one wants to admit there's a viable audience out there that believes in God and wants to see a movie with their family," he told USA Today. "The demand is there. The supply is not."
Not that Perry is making "Christian" movies. But he is a Christian, and he does allow some of his characters to be so, too. They're flesh-and-blood believers you might meet on the street or at the grocery store, if not in your typical suburban, evangelical megachurch.
In fact, they're so flesh-and-blood that they're equal parts inspiring and disquieting. And Perry believes that's for the best:
"If more Christians showed their battle scars, people would be more inclined to believe that they can be born again," he told Christianity Today. "That's why I don't want to write stories with 'perfect Christians,' because it is so unreal, it is so untrue."
So here we have a movie selling tens of millions of dollars worth of tickets—in the secular marketplace—that talks about Jesus. We have a Christian protagonist who generally practices what she preaches. We have a story in which spiritual longing is acknowledged, destructive relationships are admonished and that ends, very sweetly, with Alice getting her just reward—a little time away from the diner. And it's even kinda entertaining.
Great movie, right? Rush right out and take the family to see it?
Well, no. All is not clean and squeaky in Perry's melodramatic worlds. Men hit women. And nobody says boo about it. Women cheat on men. And one of the heroines is an unapologetic, conniving lush who drags her Christian friend into bars and strip clubs and goes to her own baptism nearly kicking and screaming.
And then there's this—a line I'd frankly rather forget was spoken, but one that I'm unable to ignore.
"I have spent my entire life giving it away. I think I'm gonna keep the rest of it for me."
That's Alice talking, telling we moviegoers that she's earned the right to be selfish for a change.
Scripturally, there is something deeply wrong—something rather Andrea-like—about keeping the rest of it for me. It was Alice's willingness to give of herself that most separated her from everybody else.
We're told, as Christians, that we're storing up our reward in heaven. There's no promise of it being handed out on earth. And the Bible certainly never tells us that once we hit a certain point in our lives it's OK to "keep" stuff. It's really not ours to begin with. We, as Christians, are called to be givers, all of our lives. Jesus never gives us permission to shuck that responsibility.
I doubt that's the ultimate lesson Perry was trying to teach. In fact, I'd say what he really wanted to communicate is that life should be lived to fullest—and that God is part of that fullness. (His heavy use of Lee Ann Womack's "I Hope You Dance" underscores that idea.)
But still, Alice's pronouncement—along with pages of problematic content—mar that seemingly sincere, solid message.

This article describes configuration techniques of module mod_ssl, which extends a functionality of Apache HTTPD to support SSL protocol. The article will deal with authentication of server (One-way SSL authentication), as well as it will also include authentication of clients by using certificates (Two-way SSL authentication).
If you have decided to enable a SSL ( Secure Sockets Layer ) protocol on your web server it may be because you would like to extend its functionality to achieve an integrity and confidentiality for a data transferred on unsecured networks. However, this protocol with the combination of PKI ( Public Key Infrastructure ) principles can also along the side of integrity and confidentiality provide authentication between both sides involved in the client-server communication.
One-way SSL authentication allows a SSL client to confirm an identity of SSL server. However, SSL server cannot confirm an identity of SSL client. This kind of SSL authentication is used by HTTPS protocol and many public servers around the world this way provides services such as webmail or Internet banking. The SSL client authentication is done on a "application layer" of OSI model by the client entering an authentication credentials such as username and password or by using a grid card.
Two-way SSL authentication also known as mutual SSL authentication allows SSL client to confirm an identity of SSL server and SSL server can also confirm an identity of the SSL client. This type of authentication is called client authentication because SSL client shows its identity to SSL server with a use of the client certificate. Client authentication with a certificate can add yet another layer of security or even completely replace authentication method such us user name and password.
In this document, we will discuss configuration of both types of SSL authentication one-way SSL authentication and two-way SSL authentication.Read more ...

LOS ANGELES — Stephen Colbert, who made his mark satirizing political conservatives on the Comedy Central network, was named yesterday to succeed David Letterman next year as the host of Late Show on CBS.
Colbert — host of The Colbert Report, a weeknight series in which he parodies the role of a conservative pundit — has signed a five-year agreement with CBS.
"Stephen Colbert is one of the most inventive and respected forces on television," said Leslie Moonves, president and CEO of the network.
How the format of Late Show might change and whether the program will remain based in New York have yet to be determined.
Colbert, 49, did tell New York Times correspondent Bill Carter that he would drop his Comedy Central persona, which he first popularized as a member of the cast of The Daily Show With Jon Stewart.
"I won't be doing the new show in character, so we'll all get to find out how much of him was me," Carter quoted Colbert as saying.
His move to CBS is the latest in a recent shake-up of the late-night TV landscape at the major networks.
Jay Leno bid farewell as host of NBC's top-rated The Tonight Show in February and was replaced by Jimmy Fallon, who had been following him as host of Late Night. Fallon was succeeded by Seth Meyers.
Letterman, 66, announced last week on his show that he will retire sometime in 2015 when his contract expires. Letterman began Late Show on CBS in 1993 after 11 years as host of NBC's Late Night program.
Letterman released a statement yesterday congratulating Colbert: "I'm very excited for him, and I'm flattered that CBS chose him. I also happen to know they wanted another guy with glasses."
Comedy Central was mum on a Colbert replacement, according to a Los Angeles Times story.
Jimmy Fallon, whose Tonight Show reigns as the late-night champion, tweeted: "I'd like
to welcome the great @StephenAtHome to network late night and also congratulate him on his new name: Jimmy Colbert."
"Simply being a guest on David Letterman's show has been a highlight of my career," Colbert said in a statement. "I never dreamed that I would follow in his footsteps, though everyone in late night follows Dave's lead."
He added: "Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go grind a gap in my front teeth" — a reference to Letterman's trademark grin.

« Back
Ban Their Bomb
Op-Ed, Financial Times
August 7, 2004
Author: Graham Allison, Director, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, Harvard Kennedy School
As the nuclear mushroom cloud became the spectre that menaced the second half of the 20th century, the prospect of a nuclear terrorist attack emerges as the gravest danger in the 21st. A month after September 11, President George W. Bush came face to face with the threat of nuclear terrorism. At the presidential daily intelligence briefing, the then CIA director George Tenet informed him that an intelligence agent codenamed "Dragonfire" had reported that al-Qaeda possessed a 10-kiloton nuclear bomb. According to Dragonfire, this nuclear weapon, evidently stolen from the Russian arsenal, was in New York.
The CIA had no independent confirmation, but neither did it have reason to dismiss the report. Did the former Soviet stockpiles include a large number of 10-kiloton weapons? Yes. Could the Russian government account for all its nuclear weapons? No. Could al-Qaeda have acquired any of these weapons? Yes. Could it have smuggled a nuclear weapon through US border controls? Yes. Someone quipped that the terrorists could have wrapped the bomb in one of the bales of marijuana routinely smuggled into cities such as New York.
On a normal working day, more than 500,000 people crowd the area within a half-mile radius of Times Square. The explosion of a 10- kiloton device in midtown Manhattan would kill them all instantly. Hundreds of thousands of others would die in the hours thereafter.
Although the Dragonfire report turned out to be a false alarm, the factors that made it plausible then are even more acute today. Tom Ridge, secretary of the department of homeland security, has repeatedly warned of terrorist attacks that "will rival or exceed the attacks on New York and the Pentagon". In his words: "The question is not if, but when." Thomas Kean, chairman of the 9/11 Commission, said: "Everybody feels that they are trying to mount another attack, and everybody feels that, given their ideology, they're doing their best to make it chemical, biological and nuclear because it kills more people and that's their goal."
Sceptics should consider three incandescent facts. First, fewer former Soviet "near-nukes" (lumps of highly enriched uranium and plutonium from which a terrorist could make a nuclear weapon) have been secured in the two years after 9/11 than in the two years prior. Second, more than a weapon's worth of nuclear material remains at risky research reactors in 20 developing countries including Belarus, Ukraine and Uzbekistan, where it is vulnerable to theft and sale to terrorists. Third, while the Bush administration has been consumed by Iraq, North Korea has been reprocessing plutonium for six new nuclear weapons and constructing a production line capable of creating an additional dozen a year.
Nuclear terrorism is preventable. Unlike bioterrorism, this is a finite challenge. As a fact of physics: no highly enriched uranium and plutonium, no fission nuclear explosion, no nuclear terrorism. It is that simple. We have to prevent terrorists from getting their hands on a nuclear weapon or material from which such a weapon could be made. The agenda to achieve this objective is ambitious yet feasible. A serious campaign to prevent nuclear terrorism should apply a doctrine of no loose nukes, no new nascent nukes and no new nuclear-weapons states.
The first requires securing all nuclear weapons and weapons-usable material, on the fastest possible timetable, to a new "gold standard". The US and Russia should develop this standard jointly, act quickly to secure their own materials, and call on the leaders of other states to do the same.
The "no new nascent nukes" approach requires no new national capabilities to enrich uranium or reprocess plutonium, ensuring that all nuclear aspirants halt production of highly enriched uranium and plutonium. This effort should begin with intrusive inspections of suspected nuclear sites as required by the Non- Proliferation Treaty's additional protocol. But two other elements must be added: a prohibition on the production of fissile material and actual enforcement mechanisms. Iran today poses a crucial test to this principle.
"No new nuclear-weapons states" draws a line under the current eight nuclear powers and says unambiguously: "No more." The test case for this principle is North Korea and the strategy would focus solely on dismantling Kim Jong-il's nuclear programme. All of today's great powers, including Britain and the US, share an interest in the proposed campaign outlined above. Each has sufficient reasons to fear nuclear weapons in the hands of terrorists, whether they are al-Qaeda, Chechens or Chinese separatists.
The CIA is warning of another al-Qaeda attack aimed at disrupting the US November 2 elections. If we find ourselves victims of a nuclear-terrorist Hiroshima, history will condemn current leaders for their inaction.

Our roster includes: ( co
Iman Shumpert _ PG/SG/SF
Tim Hardaway Jr_ SG/SF
C.J Leslie_ SF/PF
Eloy Vargas_ C
A.J Matthews_ C
Jerome Jordan_ C
if you know of anyone else that will be participating please post.
Who do you expect to make the team? (Shumpert and Hardaway not included, obviously) I presonally think Leslie ultimately makes the team for a couple of reasons:
1. his contract is partially guaranteed so he will be a part of our training camp. That being said he should have a great outing in summer league and make our team. In my opinion he will take Copes spot on the roster/rotation and that was part of the reason we drafted him. His game is still evolving, his defense is noteworthy. given the 7'1 wingspan he gets to a lot of shots that others would have trouble with and can recover from blow-bys better than most. His offense around the basket is exceptional his J will need to evolve for him to truly become a solid rotation guy for years to come.
heres a scouting report on Leslie
On to Hardaway, i didnt know much about his game at first -- but i liked the pick. I watched a few of his college games ( thanks youtube ) and saw the finals live. He can play. Flat out. You see it in his movement he may not be the most consistent but a lot of rookies suffer from those growing pains. His offense is better than most, and when hes on his game he was arguably the best player on that 2nd place Michigan team. Coaches all raved at how he sacrificed his game for the team, and all said he could've improved his stock had he played selfishly. However, he chose to win instead. still got his and the team made the final four as a result. That says something about the player. I personally would like to see him put the ball on the floor more, cause watching his scouting, his drive to the basket is too good. He's explosive and when he's on his game he's lights out from the perimeter. when hes struggling he reverts to a spot-up shooter. sounds like we got a Jr at the tip and a Novak when he's off. his defense is above average and playing next to a menace like Shumpert will help his defense look that much better.
Cant find much on A.J but i think the most likely 2 to make the team in when we open in November are,
C.J Leslie and A.J Matthews.
** look out for shumpert, this guy is gonna make a huge leap much like the one we saw George make this year** our flat out #2 option next year is Shumpert. Melo sees it and we all saw his full potential flash at times vs the celtics and vs the pacers. now he just gonna put it all together, and cook!

Prince .. Nice Thread
Metro .. where's the stats to the Knicks 64, Bulls 93, SL game
I hope Grunwald is not waiting for the SL games to end, to start looking for the 3rd & 4th tier FA to fill in the (6) empty roster spots .. its not our low budget money that are keeping decent FA away from signing with the Knicks ..
its the untold story of ISO-Melo & ISO JR system (Nuggets & Knicks) that has been keeping FA distant from signing with the Knicks ............ (recall Marbury and our 2 FA name JJ)
This is what we are looking at on July 8, 2013
1) Tyson (finally wants no more of the ISO-Melo system)
2) Amare (never wanted to be a part of the ISO-Melo system)
3) Bargani (a soft injury-prone $12M per player, r we serious?)
4) Shump (has been lost in the ISO-Melo system for 2 season)
5) Felton (has not been enjoying the ISO-Melo system)
6) Pablo (happy to get a 2nd season in the NBA at age 36)
7) Hardaway Jr. (in for a big surprise-surprise his first NBA season)
8) JR.smith (a 6th Man no team want on their roster)
9) ISO-Melo (the Knicks hire/fire supervisor above Grunwald & Woodson)
10) ???
11) ???
12) ???
13) ???
14) ???
15) ???
Lastseason we had a total of 19 players on our roster, inwhich 9 of those players played in 50 games lastseason...
Hardaway Jr. and Leslie will suit up in Las Vegas for the Knicks' summer league team...,
The rest of the roster includes J'Covan Brown (Texas), Justin Brownlee (St. John's), Terrence Jennings (Louisville), Jerome Jordan (D-League), A.J. Matthews (Farmingdale State), Tony Mitchell (D-League), Toure Murry (D-League), Iman Shumpert, Chris Smith (J.R.'s younger brother), Jeremy Tyler (D-League) and Eloy Vargas (overseas)...
Out of these players:
Jerome Jordan & Jeremy Tyler should be signed on one year deals...
If Knicks could sign two Veteran Min. contracts for one big man and one wing player then use the remaining of the MLE on a PG... These two front court players could be impressive and utilized with quality minutes... Tyler is more intriguing than Jordan but we can only hope...
We just signed Hardaway JR ( no **** ) today to a rookie deal but the interesting turn was signing Leslie to a contract as well. Seems like this guy is a safe bet to make the team next season and get some burn. I'm looking forward to watch this guy play. Seems like my prediction is coming full circle

Good Job Prince and keep praying for your fellow Egyptians.
Why is Shump on the summer roster?
Definitely brother, thanks. Things are getting better and my families all ok. This too shall pass.
Shump is playing because he wants to keep consistency with his offensive game. The more he plays at this point the more he gets better on the offensive ends. This will only help shumpert. He will be a huge option next season. Allstar close numbers; I'm calling it

Update** add chris smith to the list of summer league players. I for one would be tight if he gets a roster spot over Leslie. Although Leslie's contract runs to at least a training camp invite

Chris Smith is such a goober ass joke, aint no way this clown signs. If he does, the Knicks dont wanna win.
The thing I love the most about our team, is we don't ever seem afraid
Need this Knicks basketball again, it's killin me.

Hello everybody. I've been reading all through these posts, trying to find someone else using nipple shields but have not had any luck. I have a 2 week old who has been exclusively feeding using nipple shields for a little over a week. So many things I read caution against them, but without them, I would have to pump and bottle feed, something I'd rather not do. I feel like the shield is better than a bottle at this point. I spoke to a LaLeche rep from my area today, and she suggested that next week some day I simply take away the shields. She realizes I will have a really bad day that day with a very upset child but thinks it might work. I'm terrified to have to do this because whenever I try to latch him without the shields, he gets very frustrated and screams. If I go cold turkey with him, will he just not eat all day? I'm not sure how it will work. He has latched on a few times on his own but not too often. I end up feeding him probably longer than most people because I want to make sure he's getting enough. His diaper count is still good, so that's reassuring, but I'm constantly worrying and just want him to latch on to me exclusively. Any success stories for reassurance?
I am very thankful for this forum because it's just so nice to see that I'm not the only one who is having issues and feeling scared. Motherhood is by far the most challenging thing I've ever faced!

That's how he is. The previous time he got DQ for cheating he said he was done with NB and insulted me, for which I banned him and then he came back on one of the accounts that voted for and had an IP match with him, but was supposedly not related to him asking to be unbanned or having his ban reduced or something -smh-
In either case that has nothing to do with the Art Contest, so case closed.

There's nothing to discuss. Its just out of the question.
I think there should be 2 new rules:
1) you need to have 200+ posts to vote. (less cheaters with alt accounts).
2) sign your drawing with nb username or write your username on paper and make photo of it and your drawing.
and I think voting results should be hidden.
Last edited by Chachee; 10-13-2012 at 04:45 PM.
Voting can't be hidden in the new update I believe>.<
Anyway, I agree with the first one, but mods can easily go over IP adresses to look for alts
about the second one, I don't know, It might be a good one...

Occasionally, a user will write the FreeBSD questions mailing list asking how to customize his prompt. Inevitably, the responses will include:
While this may seem a brush-off at first glance, it is actually useful advice as prompts are shell specific. Furthermore, if one was to answer with a secret recipe like this:
set prompt = "${e}[1m${USER}@`dirs`${e}[0m% "
the prompt might work, but the original user would have no understanding of "why" this cryptic string of seemingly random characters affected the look of his prompt.
In today's article, we'll look at customizing the prompt for some of the more popular shells. By the end of this article, you should be able to "decode" the above recipe, and create your own custom-combo for your favorite shell.
The following table shows the default prompts for four different shells:
Default Prompt
Unless you specify otherwise, any user you create will be placed in the Bourne shell. In FreeBSD versions 4.0 and earlier, the root account receives the C shell; this has been changed to the tcsh shell for FreeBSD 4.1. Bash is not installed by default, but is available in the Shells section of the ports collection. Also note that the root user's prompt will be a #, regardless of the shell.
Before we can customize the prompt, we need to know what a shell variable is. Every Unix shell is really a programming language; programming languages use variables to store information. Variables allow you to change or vary their value, hence their name. Your prompt is an example of a shell variable; if you could not change its value, you would be stuck with the defaults of $, %, or #.
Variables can be stored in a file that is read by the shell when you log in or change shells. The following table shows which configuration file(s) can be read by each shell:
Shell Name
Configuration File(s)
Since we'll be mucking about with shell variables, let's create a test user account to try out our changes. Become the root user and type:
and select Configure, User Management, and then User. Input a login ID for the test account and a password you'll remember, and change the Login shell to
/bin/csh. When you're finished, leave
/stand/sysinstall, exit out of the root account and log in as your test user.
Since you changed the user's shell to the C shell, your prompt should look like this:
The user will be in their home directory; to see the configuration files, type:
ls -a
Note that the
-a is required, as files that begin with a "
." are hidden files. Now type:
more .cshrc
to view the default settings for the C shell. Let's take a closer look at some of these entries:
alias h history 25
alias j jobs -l
alias la ls -a
alias lf ls -FA
alias ll ls -lA
After the remarked-out comments section is a set of pre-defined aliases. Aliases are simply abbreviations for commands. Notice the alias called
la: it is an abbreviation of
ls -a. This means you could have typed
la instead of
ls -a to see your hidden files. Also note that you can type the letter
h to receive your last 25 history entries; this sure beats typing the word
You can add your own aliases; they can be useful if you always want to use certain switches with a command. Some good aliases for beginners are:
alias ri rm -i #ask before deleting
alias mi mv -i #ask before moving over an existing file
Note that when you create an alias, you'll want to choose a name that is
not already used by another command, like
ri or
mi. And be careful with aliases; if you get used to being prompted because of an alias, you may forget this is not the default behavior when you are at another computer or logged in as a different user.
Let's move down to the shell variables:
if ($?prompt) then
# An interactive shell -- set some stuff up
set history = 100
set savehist = 100
set mail = (/var/mail/$USER)
Note the syntax:
set variable = [value]
Value is in brackets --
[] -- as it is optional. This syntax is specific to the C and tcsh shells.
If you wish to change your prompt, the name of the C or tcsh shell
variable is
prompt. You can set as many values as you want for the
prompt variable, as long as they are enclosed within quotation marks. The actual values differ slightly for the C shells and the tcsh shells; if you are using FreeBSD 4.0 or earlier, follow the instructions for the C
shell. If you are using FreeBSD 4.1, follow the instructions for the tcsh
Let's try a very simple prompt that works in both the C and tcsh
shells. Using your favorite text editor, open up the .cshrc file in your
test user's home directory. Add the following line at the very end of the
file, just before the
endif line.
set prompt = "${USER}% "
Save the file and log out. When you log back in as the test user, your prompt should show your user name, followed by a % followed by a space, and then your cursor. Let's pick apart the string of characters we assigned to the prompt shell variable.
First off, we enclosed the entire value in quotation marks. It is good practice to always do this; it is mandatory if you have any spaces anywhere in your string of characters.
${USER} is actually an environment variable. While shell variables are specific to a shell, environment variables are read by all programs (including shells). You can recognize variables as they always start with a
$ and are usually enclosed in curly braces --
{}. By convention, environment variables are named in upper case characters, while shell variables are in lower case. If you wish to see your other environment variables, type the following at your command prompt:
If you wish to see your shell variables, type:
${USER} environment variable contains your login name. We can tell the shell prompt variable to read this value when it sets your prompt.
Finally, we put a
% after the login name to remind ourselves we are still in the C shell. I like a space between the
% and the cursor, so I included one before the last quotation mark.
This prompt is useful as you will always be able to tell at a glance who you are logged in as at a virtual terminal.
I'm a very forgetful person and was forever using the
pwd command to figure out where I was in the directory structure. Fortunately, this information can be included in the prompt. To do this in the C shell, replace your
set prompt line with the following text:
alias cd 'chdir \!* && set prompt="`dirs`% "'
If you've typed the above without any typos, when you log off and back on,
you'll get the regular % prompt. However, after you type
cd, your prompt will always tell you what directory you are in, with your home directory shortened to the ~ symbol.
We actually had to do a bit of C programming to get this prompt to work. The C shell understands the
${cwd} or current working directory variable; unfortunately, this will only show what your current directory was when you logged in. We had to create an alias to the
cd command if we wanted our prompt to continue to change as we changed directories.
We also had to use the backquote, or
` -- this is on the same key as the
~ symbol. Don't confuse it with this quote --
', which is on the same key as
". Back quotes are used for command substitution. We used it around the
dirs command that tells the C shell to print out the name of the current directory. If you forget the
` quotes, your prompt will literally display the word
dirs, instead of the result of the
dirs command.
The other new characters we used were
&&. This tells your shell that "I want you to do one thing, and when that successfully finishes, I want you to do this next". In summary, we told the shell that when we use the
cd command, not only did we want it to change our directory, we also wanted it to set our prompt to show the name of the directory we changed to.
It is much easier to accomplish this same prompt in the tcsh shell, as it has a built-in variable for this purpose. The following string works for the tcsh shell:
set prompt = "%~ % "
%~ is the built-in variable that shows the current working directory, with a
~ to represent the user's home directory. Again, I used the
% to remind myself I was in the C shell (tcsh is really the C shell with extensions to its functionality), and I kept a space between my prompt and the cursor.
I usually like to remember both who I am and where I am, so I set my C shell prompt like this:
alias cd 'chdir \!* && set prompt="${USER}@`dirs`% "'
and my tcsh shell prompt like this:
set prompt = "${USER}@%~ % "
Notice that I've just joined all the desired commands together and
enclosed them in quotation marks. I also put an
@ as my separator between the username and the current working directory, so my prompt looks like
genisis@~ %
We've input some useful information in our prompt, but it would be nice to have
its text stand out so we don't confuse it with the other text on the
screen. To bold your prompt in the C shell, replace your
set prompt text with these lines:
set e="`echo x | tr x \\033`"
alias cd 'chdir \!* && set prompt="${e}[1m${USER}@`dirs`${e}[0m% "'
Since the C shell does not have a built-in variable for bolding text, we
had to create our own variable which we called
e. Because this is a shell variable, we gave it a name in lowercase; we then used our homemade
variable when we set our prompt whenever we did this:
When we created
e, we referred to the ASCII character 033; this
character represents the escape character. Every time we referenced
${e}, the shell did the equivalent of pressing the ESC key. Most terminals will interpret
ESC[1m to mean "start bolding text." When you want to stop bolding text,
ESC[0m tells the terminal to turn off that attribute.
If you prefer, you can underline text by replacing the
[1m with
[4m. Or you can cause your text to flash by using
[5m instead. Don't forget to use
[0m to turn off the attribute, or your whole screen will flash, which makes it very hard to work with text!
I usually change root's prompt to be bold and flashing; this can be quite
irritating, which reminds me to be root only when I absolutely have to
be. To do this, become root and add the following lines to
/root/.cshrc. (Note: The line beginning with
alias is broken into a second line for the sake of formatting here; it should be entered as one line in your file):
set e="`echo x | tr x \\033`"
alias cd 'chdir \!* && set
prompt="${e}[1m${e}[5m${USER}@`dirs`${e}[0m% "'
Note that you can stack the
[1m and
[5m commands together; just remember to call
${e} before each one so it will press the ESC key for you.
Again, the tcsh shell has built-in variables to accomplish bolding and underlining, so you don't have to define your own variable first. To bold text in the tcsh shell, use this line to set your prompt:
set prompt = "%B${USER}@%~%b% "
In this command,
%B starts bolding text and
%b stops bolding. To underline text, use
%U to start and
%u to finish. The tcsh shell has many built-in variables that will let you put the date, time, your hostname, and colors into your prompt.
We've only touched the surface of the possibilities of setting your prompt. You'll want to read the man page for your favorite shell to see what else you can set in that shell's prompt. For example, the C shell's executable is csh, so type:
man csh
to read the man page for the C shell.
The first thing you'll notice about a shell's man page is that it is very long and contains a lot of advanced programming stuff you've probably never heard of. Fortunately, man pages have a search utility; the trick is to try to think of a word that is unique enough to zero in on what you're looking for. To do a search while in a man page, type:
For example, you could try:
/shell variables
which will bring your cursor to the next line that contains the words
"shell variables". If you still aren't where you want to be, type
/ and press Enter to go to the next occurrence of your search string.
If you have a favorite shell prompt you would like to share, or an URL that contains some useful shell prompts, post them to the BSD Support Forum on Daemon News and we'll compile a list of readers favorites.
A better search would be something more unique like:
This would bring you to the
%B built-in variable if you were in the tcsh man page. Even if this wasn't the variable you were looking for, you would still be in the shell variable section of the man page.
If you're ever in a long man page and happened to make note of a page
/60 would take you back to page 60.
Once you find an interesting shell variable or value, try it out in a test user account first to see if you like the results. You don't have to log out and back in to test every change. For example:
source .cshrc
will force the C shell to re-read the .cshrc file and apply any changes you've made.
Next week, we'll discuss running jobs with the cron daemon.

I am exclusively pumping, and my baby is 5 weeks old. He eats about 3 - 4 ounces of breastmilk every 2 - 4 hours. What I am wondering is - in the middle of the night, I should wake him up to feed? When I swaddle him, he will sometimes sleep for 5 - 5.5 hours at a time. However, I get up about every 4 hours to pump. I am wondering if I should wake him when I get up to pump and feed him then, or wait until he wakes up on his own? It seems when he goes 5.5 hours, he wakes up absolutely famished. (Truth be told he often acts "famished", even when he eats a lot and frequently....) But I don't want to wake him unnecessarily either, especially if he is sleeping soundly. Should I wait feed him only when he wakes up?
I appreciate any comments or shared experiences. Thanks all!

Phish tales at Bethel Woods
May 28, 2011 —
For months, some in the community worried that the three-day Phish event would bring traffic nightmares, vandalism and worse. But when the jam band finally appeared at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, the holiday weekend unfolded relatively smoothly.
Because a fleet of buses travelled from campsites to the center, traffic problems were minimal, and the fans were mostly well behaved, both in the concert facility and around the area.
For three hours before each concert, the parking lot at Bethel Woods became an impromptu bazaar, where vendors sold everything from paintings to crystals and even Jello shots; the atmosphere was festive.
Still, there were a few minor flies in the ointment. The New York State Police at Liberty and the Sullivan County Sheriff's Department arrested about a dozen people at the concerts for such infractions as possession of marijuana and Ecstasy and resisting arrest.
Overall, however, the weekend was considered by many to be a success. Bethel supervisor Dan Sturm said that the Phish fans were a "great crowd," and he was pleased with the way the weekend progressed.
Probably the most controversial aspect to the weekend was the 15-year feud between Roy Howard and Jeryl Abramson and town officials that flared up again.
Howard and Abramson applied for and received temporary camping permits that would allow them to accommodate about 250 campers at their farm on Route 17B. But Abramson announced on the internet that the couple had plenty of space and had hired bands for the occasion. Thousands of campers were expected to turn out.
Town officials sent a letter to the couple saying that they had violated the terms of a consent order they signed in 2007, when the couple agreed not to hold any more Woodstock reunion concerts. The town issued violations before the first campers showed up.
Abramson said that, by her estimation, if the couple allowed all of the campers onto their 100 acres, they could be facing a minimum of $100,000 in fines, and perhaps much more than that. Therefore, the couple closed their land to all but about 250 campers, and hundreds of young people showed up in town and had no place to stay.
Many of them ended up at Hector's Inn on Route 17B and Dr. Duggan Road. There were 120 cars in a lot across the street. Steve Agoston, a veterinarian who lives next to the inn, said there were no sanitation facilities provided, and the campers were using his lawn as a latrine, which he found to be upsetting.

As a business advocate for the New York State Workers' Compensation Board (WCB), Neil Gilberg is sympathetic to the challenges of operating a small business. He has worked hard to assist businesses that have had penalties with the WCB, that have since come into compliance, to receive lower fines. Still, he wants all businesses to comply with state law.
After The River Reporter ran a story about building permits in Sullivan County, Gilberg visited the newspaper office to clarify the board's position.
He said for any permit that is issued by a municipality, there must be proof of workers' compensation insurance and disability insurance, or proof that it's not required. A form called a CE200, which must be signed by the contractor, documents an exemption for a single person who is doing the work entirely alone, with no subcontractors, volunteers or family members.
Gilberg said, "Where I think there is some controversy, [is] when a CEO issues a permit based on a CE200 form, and that individual is going to be working alone, and then the CEO goes out on the road and sees the individual, for example, working on a roof with seven individuals that appear to be working for him. What does that code enforcement officer do?
"Well, I think they should pull that permit because they know that it's fraudulent. If they pull the permit, it's basically a stop work order. They should definitely call the Workers' Compensation Compliance Division and we will come down and investigate.
"If we don't have anyone available, the pilot program that is in place in Sullivan County would allow us to contact the New York State Police or Sullivan County Sheriff's Office, which would send somebody who could collect what we need to prepare a case for prosecution."
Gilberg said the CEOs and building inspectors in Sullivan County are not making those calls to the board. He emphasized that the board does not expect them to go out and investigate whether a contractor is violating the terms of the permit. But, he said, "If the CEOs come upon a project in the normal course of their business, and they learn that the permit has been fraudulently obtained, they should take action on that, the least of which would be to contact us, but they would certainly be well within their rights to pull that permit because it's fraudulent."
Gilberg said not enforcing the law could be detrimental to the municipality. He said if something were to happen on a job and someone is injured, and the CEO was aware that there was a fraudulent permit, the injured person could go after the municipality "for knowingly issuing a fraudulent permit." The same would apply if a CEO failed to check to see if the contractor had coverage.
Gilberg said the WCB is going to be auditing the building permits throughout the county. "Not to check the CEOs, but instead our investigators will look for patterns of contractors who use CE200s often to see if in fact they truly worked alone or used the exemption fraudulently."
He said the NYS comptrollers office would be auditing the permits as well.
