Bruce Willis is in negotiations to star in 'Captive' after Arnold Schwarzegger, who was attached to the role in 2011, pulled out last year.
The 58-year-old actor is in negotiations to take on the leading role in the indie thriller after Arnold Schwarzenegger, who was attached to the part in 2011, pulled out last year, according to Variety.com.
The story follows an American real estate magnate, living in Brazil, who is kidnapped and held as a prisoner at a cell in a hidden landfill.
Simon Brand is set to direct the movie, alongside Alexandra Milchan, Scott Lambert, Randall Emmett, George Furla, Marina Bespalov and Michael London, who will produce.
Michael will also pen the script for the thriller.
Meanwhile, Willis will next be seen in 'Sin City: A Dame to Kill For', the sequel to 2005's dark thriller, where he will reprise his role as John Hartigan, opposite Jessica Alba, who will play Nancy Callahan.
The movie was due to be released on October 4, 2013, but was pushed back until summer 2014.
However, producers remained tight-lipped on their reasoning for the delay.
Filming for 'Captive' is set to kick off in March.

Meat analogues *without* sugars/refined grain/dairy
Hello, All! I'm a looooong time veg and used to be a frequent poster many, many, yrs ago. The site has changed so much since way back when.
I find myself coming around to ask this question: do you know of any fake meat alternatives that have no sugars (sugar, corn syrup, malt extract, et c), refined grains (white flour, et c), or dairy (milk, whey, et c)?
I'd appreciate assistance. My daughter is starting to want some hamburger, ckn nugget type stuff. For a long time this wasn't at all important to her but lately . . . anyway, all help very much appreciated!
The best way is to make bean burgers, seitan etc at home. That way you know exactly what's in it. There are recipes on VW for just about all the "analogs" out there.
If you make your own seitan, I recommend you add the flavourings (or some of them) to the gluten dough itself, not just the cooking water. The gluten we get here in Spain doesn't absorb water flavouring worth a darn.

She's in favor of creating a dog run in the park where dogs can exercise without their leashes. "It would be better, because you want dogs to meet other dogs and be free," she said. "We come here so they can meet other dogs, and let them sniff."
As the sun shines down on a warm summer day, several people can be seen walking their dogs through the park, while others soak up the sun on benches lining the walkways. Carmen Cruzado sits reading a book on a bench. She is not a dog owner, but she does have an opinion about the proposed dog run.
"I think it's cool. There's a lot of dogs in the park," she said. "It's a friendly park and I don't have a problem with it. Owners here are very good with their dogs."
On the next bench over, Anthony Fernandez is enjoying the warm weather; he left his Maltese at home for the day. "I think any addition would be OK, and this would certainly please the dog owners," he said.
But while some people feel the dog park would give their four-legged friends room to frolic freely, not everyone is comfortable with the idea. "I would worry about my dog being with other strange dogs, who might not have their shots," said Joe Mammina, holding Kato, his five-month-old Akita puppy, by the leash. "He's a good dog, and I don't want him to get into fights."
Mammina brings Kato to the park on a daily basis. "I would make it an exclusive place, where it would be safe for all dogs," he said. "They should be screened – the pets and the owners. Look at their shots, the history of the dog, and the history of the person." If it's safe, he said he would bring Kato.
A safe dog run can be an asset to the community, said Helena Marino, another park visitor, as she stretched in the shade of a large tree. "They have one by my mom's house, and the dogs get together there. It's like a meeting place for them."

Earlier this summer, the Next American Economy project brought together 30 experts from various disciplines to envision tomorrow's economic and political challenges and develop today's solutions. Find out what they had to say.
Participants in our recent convening speculated:
"The post-WWII model of full-time, permanent employment proved itself the historical aberration we predicted: in 2040, only 12 percent of the American workforce is directly employed by corporate enterprises or government departments, and the average length of time spent on any one job is under six months."
"New platforms and services will spring up to solve the problems of the micro-gig economy using distributed, peer-to-peer models of social insurance that will be hyper-local, but not based on geography. They will be based on the micro-niche identities that we build online — accountants for bacon. Latinos who play Dungeons & Dragons. What have you."
"In the late '20s, the Know Everything Party assumed their final national political victories of mandating every American household be limited to three robots, one 3D printer, and own a minimum of three guns would be enough to secede and be left alone. After 15 years of explosive growth in income and wealth inequality, unimaginable to us in 2014, it all came to a head in our second Civil War, or what historians are calling the Bloodless War."
Guided by the belief that we are on the precipice of fundamental and lasting economic change, the Next American Economy project gathered a group of 30 academics, business leaders, organizers, and technologists, and asked them to envision the long-term economic and political future of the United States. We gave our participants free rein to be bold in their speculations – to deviate from data, the conventional wisdom, or even their own expert opinions. The goal was not to predict the future, but to debate a series of critical questions: (a) Are we at an inflection point in the nature of innovation and technological change? (b) How will the rise of cities change the geography of economic activity? (c) How will economic trends alter the nature of work and employment? (d) Is the trend of widening income inequality likely to continue or stagnate?
What followed was a series of prescient, thoughtful, and often hilarious three- to four-minute speculations on topics ranging from the gig economy to the future of finance, from imminent civil war to the transformation of Google into a car company, and many more. Each speculation on its own could foster a day of debate and a sea of responses. For this reason, we will release one video speculation a day for the next three weeks, starting with David Autor's description of economic polarization.
Our recent meeting was a first step toward our broader goal of identifying the trends likely to shape the future in order to identify the policy interventions needed to ensure the best possible outcome. The group identified key topics for further investigation and also found some areas of broad consensus.
79 percent of participants believe "technological change will persist and will be big enough to disrupt business-as-usual."
42 percent believe "a new paradigm of work is emerging and will change the nature of jobs for a large percentage of the population" and an additional 29 percent believe "a new paradigm has already emerged and you East Coast intellectuals are way behind the times."
A total of 74 percent believe that even if an entrepreneurship booms leads to productivity growth it will not lead to job creation.
Nearly half (48 percent) believe that if inequality trends continue, the political backlash will be so extreme that our current system will change drastically in the next 25 years.

Quite a few of my SQL cohorts are milling around NOLA this week learning all sorts of things. Some of them might even be work related. And what can I say, I'm jealous. I've heard rumors that there is a nightly trololo choir on Bourbon Street similar to the SpectroMagic parade at Walt Disney World, complete with fiber optic lights and kilts. I suppose we'll have to convene a trololo committee with Brent Ozar (@BrentO) leading it in order to organize that for November's PASS conference.
In related news, I'm glad to hear that Tom LaRock (@SQLRockstar) has come out of the closet and told us where he will be hanging up his chaps. I'm happy to report that Tom has landed with Confio, makers of Ignite. He is an awesome addition to any company, but I do hope they have enough bacon on hand to keep him satisfied.

Star Alliance launches fresh new look for website
FRANKFURT, GERMANY – October 27th, 2015 – Star Alliance, the way the Earth connects, has redesigned its website to offer a fresh, modern look and user friendly experience across both desktop and mobile devices, complementing the individual websites of its member airlines.
The site adopts bold visual design throughout as well as mobile-friendly navigational principles that allow it to be accessed easily on any size of screen. Its information and content is targeted to the audience of Alliance travellers, who regularly fly on more than one of the Alliance's 28 member airlines.
"We have responded to the fact that more and more customers want to have the latest information at their fingertips, wherever they are," said Star Alliance's Vice President for Customer Experience and Information Technology Justin Erbacci. "The new site allows us to bring more tailored information to Alliance customers, so extending and complementing the information offered by each of our member airline's own web presence."
The website is a one-stop shop for access to information about the whole of the Star Alliance network, the benefits offered to its frequent flyers, and about Star Alliance products for both leisure and business travel. In many cases, the site offers links to a member airline website for deeper research.
Selecting "flight search" allows the visitor to scan the schedules of all 28 member airlines, serving over 1,300 airports worldwide, to find connections that best meet their travel needs. Once the right connection has been identified, a link is offered to the relevant airline website for booking.
The home page also offers a link to "flight status" – offering up to the minute information on the status of over 18,500 daily flights worldwide.
Customers who are travelling in First Class or Business Class, or those who have earned Star Alliance Gold status, can search a database of over 1,000 lounges globally. The site also offers basic information on destination airports, with more details, including Star Alliance specific maps, available for the Alliance's biggest hubs.
At appropriate moments during a site visit, the visitor is prompted to share location details and other information that allows site personalisation, particularly when the customer is at an airport and travelling on the same day. Holders of Gold and Silver Star Alliance status are "recognised" with an enhanced visual experience.
The new website is one of a series of initiatives on the Star Alliance roadmap that will improve and modernise the travel experience, aimed particularly at regular Alliance travellers. This includes initiatives such as Gold Track, which offers access to a priority security lane for member airline customers holding Star Alliance Gold status or flying in First Class or Business Class. Gold Track is currently available at over 60 airports worldwide and new destinations will be added steadily in coming months.

The rate of crime in Oregon is the lowest it's been since the 1960s. Yet more than half the Oregonians surveyed in a recent Portland State University (PSU) research project believe that crime in the state has actually gone up.
The findings were compiled by PSU's Criminal Justice Policy Research Institute. They're based on a survey conducted last summer of 1,569 Oregonians over the age of 18.
The survey results showed that 52 percent believed crime in the state increased over the last year, and only 10 percent thought it went down.
Those who thought crime rates were higher tended to be more conservative, had a dissatisfaction with the criminal justice system, had family incomes less than $50,000 a year, had less education than a Bachelors degree, and tended to rank "punishment or enforcement" as top crime control strategies.
The study was not able to pinpoint the exact reasons for the disconnect between perception and reality, but the report's author, Brian Renauer, a PSU associate professor of criminology and criminal justice, said one possible explanation may be that the media - everything from the nightly news to crime dramas - feed the perception of high crime rates.
The report concludes that misperceptions impact trust in public officials, compliance with legal authority, and support for criminal justice legislation.
"Criminal justice practitioners and legislators should be thinking more carefully about how the public perceives crime and the criminal justice system," Renauer said. "This points to a need for better community relations to make sure the public understands what the criminal justice system is actually doing."
About Portland State University (PSU)
Located in Portland, Oregon, PSU has about 30,000 undergraduate and graduate students, making it the largest university in Oregon. PSU's motto is "Let Knowledge Serve the City," and we provide every student with opportunities to work with businesses, schools and organizations on real-world projects. Our downtown campus exhibits PSU's commitment to sustainability with green buildings, while sustainability is incorporated into much of the curriculum.

The problem with American moviegoers is that they pay no attention to the pundit-and-pollster class that tells ordinary people what they ought to think and do.
Case in point: the so-called Aurora effect on this week's moviegoing.
Boston Globe movie editor Janice Page, linking movie gore with the Aurora, Colo., slayings, said on the public-radio news show For Your Ears Only that Hollywood should "look at ways that we could be more responsible and pull back from the violence." Harvey Weinstein of the Weinstein Co., distributor of Halloween II, Piranha 3DD and Scream 4, suggested a movie summit in which "all of us who deal in violence in movies [would] discuss our role in that." And the NRG Research Group (short for Nordic Research Group) got a lot of attention with a poll, cited a few days ago by Nikki Finke in her Deadline Hollywood column, purporting to show "that 20%-25% of the domestic moviegoing audience was still very hesitant to go this weekend because of the Colorado theater shooting."
(MORE: How the Aurora Killings Shattered Movie Fantasy)
Instead, movie attendance in the past 10 days has followed utterly predictable paths: people came out to see the big blockbuster (The Dark Knight Rises) and some of their older favorites (Ice Age: Continental Drift, Ted, The Amazing Spider-Man and Brave), avoided the turkeys delivered this weekend (The Watch and Step Up Revolution) and stayed home Friday night to watch the movie-like spectacle that opened the London Olympics.
(MORE: 10 Movies Altered After Real-Life Tragedies)
The Dark Knight Rises (TDKR) again won the weekend at North American theaters, according to preliminary studio estimates, with $64.1 million. That 60% dip from the $160.1 million it amassed on its opening weekend is sharper than the 52.5% falloff suffered by its 2008 predecessor, The Dark Knight, but softer than the 72% second-weekend drop of another final episode in a popular movie series, last summer's Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. After 10 days, TDKR has earned $289.1 million — again, less than The Dark Knight's $313.8 million in the same period but more than the Potter finale's $273.5 million. TDKR can boast the third all-time highest 10-day domestic gross, after The Avengers and The Dark Knight.
(MORE: Corliss's Review of The Dark Knight Rises)
Last week, many news sources reported that the Aurora massacre had scared away moviegoers. Wrong: attendance, according to Box Office Mojo, was 40% higher last weekend than the previous weekend ($231.3 million to $165 million) and up 21% from same weekend last year (when the total take was $190.6 million).
This weekend, total box-office revenue ($134.8 million) was indeed down from the same weekend last year ($179.7 million), when the new films were Cowboys & Aliens, with a $36.4 million three-day take, The Smurfs, with $35.6 million, and Crazy, Stupid, Love., with $19.1 million. The drop is almost entirely due to two related factors that have no connection to the shootings. One: Olympics coverage began with a splendid show Friday night; and two, Hollywood, knowing the Games were coming, released fewer films this weekend.
(MORE: Review of the Olympic Opening Ceremony)
Oscar-winning director Danny Boyle's lavish tribute to Britain and British movies (with Her Majesty the Queen and James Bond, or their stunt doubles, parachuting into the stadium — was viewed by 40.7 million Americans, a record audience for an Olympic opening ceremony, which naturally dented the box-office numbers. Saturday, though, TDKR bounced back, with a 39.5% improvement over Friday's tally. Ice Age, Ted, Spider-Man and Brave were all up more than 30%. Audiences didn't stay away out of fear; they stayed home to see a bigger, better show for free.
(MORE: Is John Blake the New Bruce Wayne?)
The true weekend of comparison is not last year at this time but the weekend of Aug. 8–10, 2008, when the Beijing Olympics began. Then as now, box-office take ($121.6 million) sagged more than 20% from the revenue of the previous weekend ($153.1 million). Then as now, the two new movies were an R-rated comedy co-written by Seth Rogen (Pineapple Express instead of The Watch) and a sequel aimed at young females (The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 instead of Step Up 4). And then as now, a Christopher Nolan Batman epic, The Dark Knight, held on to the No. 1 spot — and enjoyed the same 39% bump from Friday to Saturday.
(MORE: Surviving the Darkest Night in U.S. Moviegoing History)
The Dark Knight would go on to become the fourth movie in history to earn more than $1 billion worldwide. Will The Dark Knight Rises reach the billion-dollar mark? Time will tell, but after 10 days it's more than halfway there. Its $248.2 million foreign gross, added to the $289.1 million in North America, adds up to $537.3 million. That's not bad for a movie that a lot of people were supposedly afraid to see.
(MORE: Behind the Scenes of the Batman Trilogy)
As for The Watch and Step Up Revolution, people wanted to see movies this weekend, just not those movies. The tale of four guys protecting their neighborhood from an outer-space invasion, The Watch earned only $13 million and garnered a CinemaScore grade of C-plus. For star Ben Stiller, The Watch marked his lowest debut in a widely released film since The Heartbreak Kid five years ago. For co-star Vince Vaughn, it was his worst opening of this millennium and the lowest since he played Norman Bates in the 1998 remake of Psycho. The demographic breakdown was 60% male, 60% over the age of 25, but not enough of either group to make a difference.
(MORE: Corliss's Review of The Watch)
The demographics for Step Up Revolution were The Watch's mirror image: 64% of the audience was female, 71% under the age of 24; they gave the movie an indulgent B-plus. This latest entry in the dance-movie series that launched Channing Tatum to stardom took in $11.8 million this weekend, less than any of the first three installments. But as the total North American gross for the Step Up films has gradually declined (from $65.3 million to $58 million to $42.4 million), the foreign earnings have ballooned (from $48.9 million to $92.8 million to $116.9 million). Summit, the franchise's distributor, wouldn't mind if that trend continued.
(MORE: A Review of Channing Tatum's Breakout Hit, Dear John)
In indie releases, the romantic comedy Ruby Sparks opened in 13 venues to a so-so $151,881. Killer Joe, the NC-17-rated drama starring Matthew McConaughey as an assassin cop who toys with a family of lowlifes, earned a similarly mediocre $37,864 in three theaters. Beasts of the Southern Wild expanded to 194 theaters and amassed an Olympics-defying $512,000; the five-week total for this acclaimed no-star dramatic fantasy is $4.8 million.
Here are the Sunday estimates of this weekend's top-grossing pictures in North American theaters, as reported by Box Office Mojo:
1. The Dark Knight Rises, $64.1 million; $289.1 million, second week
2. Ice Age: Continental Drift, $13.3 million; $114.9 million, third week
3. The Watch, $13 million, first weekend
4. Step Up Revolution, $11.8 million, first week
5. Ted, $7.4 million; $193.6 million, fifth week
6. The Amazing Spider-Man, $6.8 million; $242.1 million, fourth week
7. Brave, $4.2 million; $217.3 million, sixth week
8. Magic Mike, $2.6 million; $107.6 million, fifth week
9. Savages, $1.8 million; $43.9 million, fourth week
10. Moonrise Kingdom, $1.4 million; $38.4 million, 10th week

text: Calendar Notes: =========== PacSec 2008 will be on November 12/13 in Tokyo at Aoyama Diamond Hall. EUSecWest 2008 will be on May 21/22 at a fun new venue in central London. (We cooked this schedule up so it will enable people to fly to Berlin on the 23rd and make FX's ph-neutral on Saturday the 24th - which also has a fun new venue. Island???!?) The EUSecWest 2008 CFP opens tomorrow and closes _before_ April 1 :-). EUSecWest registration is now open. Announcing CanSecWest PWN2OWN 2008. =================================== Three targets, all patched. All in typical client configurations with typical user configurations. You hack it, you get ot keep it. Each has a file on them and it contains the instructions and how to claim the prize. Targets (typical road-warrior clients): VAIO VGN-TZ37CN running Ubuntu 7.10 Fujitsu U810 running Vista Ultimate SP1 MacBook Air running OSX 10.5.2 This year's contest will begin on March 26th, and go during the presentation hours and breaks of the conference until March 28th. The main purpose of this contest is to present new vulnerabilities in these systems so that the affected vendor(s) can address them. Participation is open to any registered attendee of CanSecWest 2008. Once you extract your claim ticket file from a laptop (note that doing so will involve executing code on the box, simple directory traversal style bugs are inadequate), you get to keep it. You also get to participate in 3com / Tipping Point's Zero Day Initiative, with the top award for remote, pre-auth, vulnerabilities being increased this year. Fine print and details on the cash prizes are available from TippingPoint's DVLabs blog (http://dvlabs.tippingpoint.com/). More fine print and rules for the contest will be found at the http://cansecwest.com/ site. Quick Overview: -Limit one laptop per contestant. -You can't use the same vulnerability to claim more than one box, if it is a cross-platform issue. -Thirty minute attack slots given to contestants at each box. -Attack slots will be scheduled at the contest start by the methods selected by the judges. -Attacks are done via crossover cable. (attacker controls default route) -RF attacks are done offsite by special arrangement... -No physical access to the machines. -Major web browsers (IE, Safari, Konqueror, Firefox), widely used and deployed plugin frameworks (AIR, Silverlight), IM clients (MSN, Adium, Skype, Pigdin, AOL, Yahoo), Mail readers (Outlook, Mail.app, Thunderbird, kmail) are all in scope. Fine Print: These computers are REAL and FULLY patched. All third party software is widely used. There are no imitation vulnerabilities. Any exploit successfully used in this contest would also compromise a significant percentage of Internet connected hosts. Instead, players choose to use their exploits here, at CanSecWest PWN2OWN 2008. All successful exploits will be turned over to the appropriate vendor and patched before details are made public. Rules 1. Attacks remain confidential until prize is claimed Players will connect to the targets with a crossover cable and we will not record the network traffic or log anything other than what is done by default. Successful exploits can be delivered directly to Tipping Point after the we verify that you control the target. In the event that internet connectivity is required (eg. IM clients) we will put the target online behind a firewall. We won't sniff at the firewall, but we can make no guarentees for upstream networks. (so be careful what you send over the Internet!) 2. No wireless attacks in the conference area Players with intent to use wireless attacks must inform us in advance. We will relocate to a secluded, undisclosed location where there won't be dozens of people watching the traffic. 3. One attacker per target at a time As is obvious from rule #1 and rule #2, one player gets exclusive access to any target at one time. 4. Players take turns, no hogging the targets Players are limited to 30 minutes per attempt. We will mercilessly disconnect your cable at the end of each attack slot. Be fast! We will reboot the targets before each session begins. 5. First come, first served access to targets. Players get in line for their turns and may take an unlimited number of turns. If a player runs out of time and no one else is waiting for access to the target he may continue for another turn. Players may not have more than 1 turn in any 30 minute period. (That means we won't reboot a target any time you feel like it) 6. Remote, pre-authentication attacks are required to win Players may not physically touch the targets or look at the target's display. Players are required to demonstrate to our satisfaction that arbitrary code runs on the target. 7. Attackers control the default route for the target. Players may become the target's default gateway in order to perform man in the middle attacks. 8. Contest officials visit attacker web servers Players may direct us to visit a web server running on the player's computer. Players may specify which browser to use. Keep the URL reasonable. We're not going to type weird addresses in. Once we hit enter that's it. We will not click on any links. 9. Contest officials read email from attackers Autopreview (Preview panes, etc) is enabled on mail readers, but we will not click on links contained therein or open attachments. 10. Contest officials will add attackers on IM and read their messages. They will not click on links or open file transfers. 11. Client Application list: The fully patched client-side applications that qualify for a prize includes: . Adobe PDF . Adobe Flash . Microsoft Silverlight . Microsoft Internet Explorer . Microsoft Outlook/Outlook Express . Firefox . Safari . iChat . Apple Mail . Skype . Adium . Pigdin . Kmail . Thunderbird . AOL, Yahoo!, and MSN official IM clients . Java/JRE Other software may be added to this list at our discretion of if we deem it represents a significant attack target on normal internet clients at large. 12. Winning exploits must be true 0day. They may not have already been submitted to the affected vendor or to third parties. 13. Each machine will be secured to common industry best practices: We'll get Andrea Barisani from our Hardening Linux Dojo (which still has seats available :) to look over the Ubuntu machine, and the Microsoft/iSec/Core DTF folks to secure the Windows box, and Josh Ryder our local Mac zealot to look at the OSX wafer. Special Thanks: -LTC Ron Dodge, USMA, for agreeing to be in the hot seat as the judge. -The folks at 3com Tipping Point ZDI for helping out. -The folks at White Wolf Security for assistance in the design, prep, and running the challenge. -- World Security Pros.

FLOP:Release Signing

Funtoo Linux Optimization Proposal: Release Signing
The goal of release signing is to ensure a user that what they downloaded is the same thing that Funtoo generated and has not been replaced by some sort of malware or some mirror operator. It assumes that the downloading is being done on a system the user trusts and that installation will be done from a system the user trusts.
Based on my research into PGP release signing, the key should be larger than or equal to 4096 bits and should not be a DSA key. GnuPG should be configured not to use the weaker hashing algorithms as well such as MD5 or SHA1. That's the guidance that Apache's release management gives. The trickier part will be to get the public key into the PGP Web of Trust. From what I understand about PGP's trust model, a key will be trusted if you trust someone that fully trusts the key or if you trust three people that partially trust the key. That seems like a big order so its unlikely that most people will have a chain of trust to the public key. That's where publishing the key fingerprint over HTTPS or some other similarly secured channel can bootstrap that process by augmenting PGP's Web of Trust with the certificate authority model used by SSL.
The signings will likely be automated, so I'd suggest running a GPG key agent process of some sort so that the private key can still be protected but still be able to be used in an automated manner without having to enter the passphrase with each build. The person that generates the key should fully trust the "Funtoo Release Key" by signing it with their personal key. At that point, it's just a matter of getting that person to be trusted by others and signed by their keys over time. Ultimately, release signing provides users with two benefits: They can verify the integrity of what they download. They can also verify the authenticity and ensure that none of the mirrors have tampered with the file. The other issue would be key expiration. I'd suggest the first one be a short expiration to ensure the process is working. If the process seems to be working, a later key can be generated with a longer expiration and cross signed with the original to maintain the trust path. A revocation key also needs to be generated and not stored on the system doing the signing so the key can be revoked if it is ever compromised.
Why not do md5 or sha1 hashes as well?
Our files are already compressed in the xz format, and that format already takes care of integrity checks which is what an md5 or sha1 provides. If the file is corrupt, xz will say so. I just tested this with xz on a tar.xz that I corrupted and got this:
brantgurga@gurganbldesktop ~ $ xz -d portage-current.tar.xz xz: portage-current.tar.xz: Compressed data is corrupt
Even if unpacked indirectly through tar, you'll see this message:
brantgurga@gurganbldesktop ~ $ tar -xJf portage-current.tar.xz xz: (stdin): Compressed data is corrupt tar: Unexpected EOF in archive tar: Unexpected EOF in archive tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
What does someone without gpg get?
Without gpg or some other PGP signature verification system, they don't get any extra benefit. It's just an extra file. They still get the integrity checks of the xz compression, but that doesn't mean that someone on a mirror didn't replace the file with another archive of something else.
What about someone with gpg but no key?
gpg will indicate that it is unable to verify anything because it doesn't have the public key.
brantgurga@gurganbldesktop ~ $ gpg --verify signedfile gpg: Signature made Tue 13 May 2008 04:17:42 AM EDT using DSA key ID 7E7B8AC9 gpg: Can't check signature: No public key
And with the key but no trust path?
gpg can verify that the file is the same as the file when the person verified it, but it can't say anything about whether that person is who the public key claims that person to be. In effect, you're no better off than having a hash.
brantgurga@gurganbldesktop ~ $ gpg --verify signedfile gpg: Signature made Tue 13 May 2008 04:17:42 AM EDT using DSA key ID 7E7B8AC9 gpg: Good signature from "Joerg Jaspert <firstname.lastname@example.com>" gpg: aka "Joerg Jaspert <firstname.lastname@example.com>" gpg: aka "Joerg Jaspert <firstname.lastname@example.com>" gpg: aka "Joerg Jaspert <email@example.com>" gpg: aka "Joerg Jaspert <email@example.com>" gpg: aka "Joerg Jaspert <email@example.com>" gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature! gpg: There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner. Primary key fingerprint: DF7D EB2F DB28 FD2B A9FB FA6D 715E D6A0 7E7B 8AC9
Notice that it prints out the key fingerprint encouraging that the fingerprint be verified through some means.
And with a trust path?
gpg can verify that it's the same file that "Funtoo Release Engineering" released.
brantgurga@gurganbldesktop ~ $ gpg --verify signedfile gpg: Signature made Tue 13 May 2008 04:17:42 AM EDT using DSA key ID 7E7B8AC9 gpg: Good signature from "Joerg Jaspert <firstname.lastname@example.com>" gpg: aka "Joerg Jaspert <firstname.lastname@example.com>" gpg: aka "Joerg Jaspert <email@example.com>" gpg: aka "Joerg Jaspert <firstname.lastname@example.com>" gpg: aka "Joerg Jaspert <firstname.lastname@example.com>" gpg: aka "Joerg Jaspert <email@example.com>"
Extra perks
Because of the way git works with cryptographic hashes linking the revisions together, as long as the original portage tree came from a snapshot that is signed, every sync is effectively signed because you have a cryptographic hierarchy to that original signed revision.
Because the tree has hashes of the distfiles used by packages, you effectively get a transitive signing of all of those as well.
If the portage tree is retrieved by cloning the original over http, you don't have any guarantees because you don't know what server that is. It could be a man in the middle with a replaced git repository containing something else. If it is cloned over the git protocol, the same issue is there. You don't have a way to know what the legitimate root of the repository is for the future revisions to build upon.

Road-tested Rays ready to open ALDS in Boston
Tampa Bay's journey continues after must-win games in Toronto, Texas, Cleveland
CLEVELAND -- After winning three straight must-win games, the Rays are ready for anything.
With their playoff hopes at stake, they prevailed in Toronto against the Blue Jays on Sunday and again in Arlington against the Rangers on Monday in Game 163 tiebreaker. On Wednesday night, they kept their momentum going with a 4-0 win over the Indians in Cleveland in the American League Wild Card Game.
Those three victories have the Rays more than prepared to open their best-of-five AL Division Series showdown against the rival Red Sox at Fenway Park on Friday, airing on TBS at 3 p.m. ET.
The Rays will turn to Matt Moore -- the winning pitcher on Sunday in Toronto -- for Game 1 before handing the ball to fellow left-hander David Price -- the hero in Game 163 -- on Saturday.
The deep Tampa Bay rotation will also have right-handers Chris Archer and Alex Cobb available in the ALDS.
"We feel like our pitching is good," Rays outfielder Desmond Jennings said. "They [Red Sox] have good pitching, too, so you know it's always going to be a battle playing those guys, especially in Fenway."
The Rays went only 7-12 against the Red Sox this season en route to Boston winning the AL East by 5 1/2 games, but they did win five of their final eight games against the division champs.
"It was a tough year against them early, but we played good against them late," catcher Jose Molina said. "I think we're ready for them. Our guys are never going to quit and want to be a part of this series. I think we'll get wins in Boston and then at home."
The Rays know they'll have their hands full against a strong Red Sox pitching staff that's set to start Jon Lester, John Lackey, Clay Buchholz and Jake Peavy. And as Rays manager Joe Maddon pointed out, the Rays hit just .232 in their 19 meetings against the Red Sox.
"They really pitched well against us," Maddon said. "We just did not swing the bats well, and that speaks to their pitching. They have a really good pitching staff. They have a great starting staff. They have a tremendous bullpen."
But given the way the Rays performed in their three do-or-die victories, they have plenty of confidence heading into Boston.
"We could've rolled over in the last game of the season against Toronto because they were putting it on us, but we won that game," designated hitter Delmon Young said. "And we could've rolled over in Texas because history suggested Texas would beat Price, and he ended up shoving it. So coming here we were hot and I think it was good for us to play on Monday so we didn't have two days off."

It was a perfectly normal graduation with caps and gowns, opening prayers, speakers, awards, and handshakes. But this June 30 ceremony was happening in jail, behind armed guards, security cameras, and metal detectors. It was not a normal graduation. For the families involved, it was better.
The inmate graduates of the Albemarle Charlottesville Regional Jail's volunteer GED program surmounted barriers that most high school seniors never confront. In their eyes, you could see the sense of hope that this event engendered.
In the words of valedictorian graduate Kenyatta Anthony, the students had let go of the fact that they were doing time for the state, and consider that they are doing their time instead. And they are using their time to make their lives better.
If pride has a face, it would belong to any one of the friends and family at the event. To them, this was more than a graduation. It was a sign that when their loved ones are released, they will not go back to the dangers that brought them to this place– and that their son, daughter, or friend will have the knowledge and tools to build a better life.

With little of their favorite foliage available right now, kudzu bugs are just hanging out
Kudzu bugs are responding to the warm temperatures, and activity is increasing. The bugs are looking for food sources, such as wisteria and kudzu, but there is very little foliage available. You will find the kudzu bugs congregating on light colored surfaces. They are simply hanging out rather than feeding.
Kudzu bugs are small insects (4 to 6 mm long) with mottled olive-green and brown color. They have piercing-sucking mouthparts and are considered strong flyers. Plants are damaged when the insect removes plant juices, which include nutrients and moisture from the veins.
Besides kudzu, the bugs are known to feed on soybeans, other bean species, wisteria and some vetches. In counties to our east, kudzu bugs are congregating on but not feeding on many different types of plants. Gardeners have reported thousands gathered on fig and willow trees.
Entomologists from several southern states are working together to find more detailed information about control and host plants. Kudzu bugs are producing several generations per year. In Georgia, they can complete development from egg to adult in six to eight weeks.
When temperatures warm, the strong-flying adults emerge from overwintering sites and move into kudzu or wisteria where they reproduce. The insects do reduce kudzu biomass just as they do in Asia. In the southeast, the new generation of kudzu bugs will move onto soybeans in June and July, where they can become an economic problem.
You may be tempted to use chemicals to spray the exterior of your house. Do not have high expectations of success. There is a big difference between killing individual bugs and controlling them. These bugs are a moving target searching the great outdoors for food and a place to lay eggs. Spraying large aggregations will kill a bunch, but it is not going to make them go away.
Remember, safe application of a pesticide includes making sure the product is labeled for use on the target. If spraying up over your head, do not forget to remove items such as children�s toys, pet food or water bowls. Fish ponds, grills, outdoor furniture and hard surfaces need to be avoided when pesticides are used.
Products available include bifenthrin, permethrin and lamda-cyhalothrin. Wettable powder formulations of insecticides may produce better results. Treating is difficult without the proper equipment, and care must be exercised.

Over the years, our company has been researching what we call "Lifestyle Benefits" that allow for more flexibility in the workforce (a quality many NexGen advisors are seeking in corporate cultures) to determine their effectiveness on the productivity and profitability of advisory firms. One might think there is not much of a correlation, but ironically we are finding that advisory firms that offer better "perqs" in terms of flexible time are actually more productive and profitable than their counterparts, and their clients are just as happy.
One of the common lifestyle perks we get asked about is working from home. The technology explosion spilling over into financial advice has made working from home quite productive and profitable for many firms. As an example, a few years ago, when a key employee at one of my client firms had to move out of state, we decided that keeping her was worth the risk. We know that properly prepared and motivated employees (the basis of our P4 Program) respond to the increased freedom of being their own boss with even greater productivity when allowed to work from home. Working from home is now part of the structure for many of our client firms.
In the example above, the husband of the number two senior advisor in a two-advisor firm took a better job hundreds of miles away, so regular commuting was never an option. Because she worked with her own stable of clients, who loved her and meshed perfectly with her, we wanted to do whatever it took to keep her with the firm. So we set her up with a fully functional home office, and had her commute back to the home office one week every quarter.
We knew that she was very diligent and conscientious about her work responsibilities, so our primary concern was that her clients would feel they didn't get to see her enough. Boy, were we wrong. The clients got so used to working with her on the phone that most of them don't even want to come into the office anymore. The advisor was so grateful about the effort we made to keep her—and happy with her new situation—that she's now doing the work of two advisors, and is probably the best employee at any of our client firms.
In fact, working from home was such a success that the owner-advisor decided that he wanted to be closer to his kids, in yet a different state, and also work remotely from there. So he moved, too. Now he comes back to the office every six weeks or so: mostly for his peace of mind that everything's running smoothly and to stay connected to the "reality" of the business. We stagger his and her visits so that there's an advisor in the office more than often enough for the few clients who still want some in-person face time. Then we have an annual retreat to bring everyone together to discuss issues and long-term plans.
To make this remote advising work, we created what we call Centralized Client Service Division in one central location and office. In this firm it is a three-person team; a client relations manager (CRM), an associate advisor and an associate client relations manager. (In larger firms, we have successfully made all the senior advisors remote with larger 10-15 person Client Service Divisions.) We've found we don't even need a receptionist. The CRMs talk to clients directly and forward calls to the various advisors when necessary. We find that the clients love having their own CRM, whom they can call any time, about anything.
Thanks to our working from home program, the firm runs better, has more clients—and happier clients—than ever. The interesting thing is, not having an office in the office also encourages Senior Advisors to go out more and drum up business (e.g., golfing, attending events, meeting with strategic partners, etc.) The keys to this business model are simple, but essential: the remote offices have to have all the technology necessary for those employees to fully do their jobs (I suspect most work-from-home programs fail because their firms skimp on the technology); a Client Service Division to remove the day-to-day client contact and issues off the advisors' plates; and an incentive structure that keeps all employees connected to the mission—and the success—of their firm.
Based on our successes, I predict that, with the right formula, remote employment will become the norm, not the exception in the independent advisory world.

(The Root) — Change comes in many colors. And the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C., has proved to be a brilliant display of American diversity — blurring the lines between black, brown, white and every hue in between.
The delegates have gathered to re-elect the nation's first African-American president — a historic moment — but what is most striking is the visible difference between the Democratic alliance and their Republican rivals, who just a week ago nominated Mitt Romney in Tampa, Fla.
According to Gallup, more than 90 percent of registered Republicans are white, despite the fact that white Americans are only 63 percent of the general population. This point isn't lost on either voters or elected officials, since a lack of diversity among conservatives has helped fuel a racially tinged, anti-Obama campaign and xenophobic rhetoric that alienate the growing and politically important Latino population.
Republicans' atmospheric problem is that for the past four years, many in the party have actively attempted to divide white voters from everyone else. The strategic attacks on President Obama had proved successful during the 2010 midterm elections with the Tea Party factions and far-right base, many of whom still harbor racial anxieties and prejudice. But even South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham — a GOP stalwart — was forced to admit that this divide-and-conquer strategy is not sustainable. "The demographics race we're losing badly," he told the Washington Post. "We're not generating enough angry white guys to stay in business for the long term."
Graham's statement was a rare moment of honesty. Just last week at the Republican National Convention, two attendees were removed after throwing peanuts at an African-American camerawoman for CNN, yelling, "This is how we feed the animals."
Republican leadership is not blameless. Even Romney has used race-baiting tactics in an effort to appeal to disgruntled white voters, the best examples being his recent foray into Birtherism and the fallacious attack ads accusing Obama of gutting welfare reform.
If there was any doubt about the racial subtext, Romney told USA Today that Obama was using welfare waivers as a political calculation to "shore up his base." This, of course, is the same man who appeared before the NAACP convention and later said of the crowd, "If they want more stuff — more free stuff — tell them to vote for the other guy."
The race-baiting is mind-numbing. But it has its consequences.
Like The Root on Facebook. Follow us on Twitter.
According to a NBC-Wall Street Journal poll, Obama leads Romney 94-0 among African Americans. And an August Washington Post-Kaiser poll had the president receiving 74 percent of the Latino vote. It is nearly impossible for Romney to win with such a deficit among minorities, and that is why the Republican strategy has been to encourage a wave of impassioned, angry white voters while suppressing minority votes through new voter-ID laws.
But Republicans haven't abandoned the politics of perception. Although last week's convention was much ado about whiteness, the speakers were selected to appear otherwise. Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez and former Democratic Rep. Artur Davis all spoke to minority independents who may find Romney's promise of economic hope and change appealing.
But Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, chair of the DNC, boldly addressed this display of faux diversity. He told reporters last week that "you can't just trot out a brown face or a Spanish surname and expect people are going to vote for your party or your candidate." Villaraigosa, who is of Mexican descent, went on to explain: "Window dressing doesn't do much for a candidate. It's your policies, your platform."
And that is where Democrats have Republicans beat. The DNC stage has been graced with the likes of first lady Michelle Obama, who told her story of the all-American dream — of growing up on the South Side of Chicago to working-class parents whose values and commitment led her to the Ivy League and beyond. She appealed to everyone — from the poor and the middle-class to those who have achieved wealth — by explaining the dignity there is in hard work.
"For Barack, success is not about how much money you make but the difference you make in people's lives," she said. Her words resonated with the crowd of many colors, who might find the GOP's celebration of individualism and its "We built this" mantra to be antithetical to the concepts of community, shared sacrifice, shared rewards and equal opportunity.
The Democratic rainbow coalition also included San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, the grandchild of a Mexican immigrant and the first Latino to give the DNC keynote address. "My mother fought hard for civil rights so instead of a mop, I could hold this microphone," he said.
This is where Democrats have finally found their voice: speaking to the very people whose lives their progressive policies affect.
Lilly Ledbetter, Sandra Fluke and Massachusetts Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren all spoke across color lines — offering a voice for the women whose choices are limited and often overlooked.
Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick and Newark, N.J., Mayor Cory Booker gave fiery addresses that only served to fuel speculation about the possibility of a second African-American president.
Though Republicans have not done enough to reach minority voters, Democrats have been careful not to make the same mistake with white working-class voters. One of the draws of former President Bill Clinton's seminal speech at the DNC was his appeal to working-class white males — a demographic that the latest NBC-Wall Street Journal poll shows favors Romney.
Clinton clearly had the most memorable speech of the second day of the convention, but Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.), chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, solidified the Democratic message in his spirited address. "If being liberal and progressive means that I care for children and whether they go hungry," he said, "color me! Color me a Democrat!"
As television cameras panned the convention hall, they strategically highlighted the multiracial, multicultural group that makes up the delegation. But unlike in Tampa, where all the diversity was on the stage, these people are the majority of the Democratic alliance, working alongside their white brothers and sisters to re-elect a biracial president.
By embracing the diversity of its base, the Democrat Party is finally tapping into that power. And with eloquent spokespeople representing the melting pot, the Democrats are presenting a new face for an old American dream.

§3. Orders
At etonshirts.com you can place your order securely and conveniently. However, all orders are subject to acceptance and availability. Please note that items in your shopping basket are not reserved until payment is finalized and may be purchased by other customers. Eton offers products for sale that are in stock and available for dispatch from our distribution center.
Eton will store a record of your transactions for a minimum of one year.
Whilst we try and ensure that all details, descriptions and prices which appear on this Website are accurate, errors may occur. If we discover an error in the price of any goods which you have ordered we will inform you of this as soon as possible and give you the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price or cancelling it. If we are unable to contact you we will treat the order as cancelled. If you cancel and you have already paid for the goods, you will receive a full refund.
All orders are shipped to the US on a DDP (Delivery Duty Paid) (INCOTERMS 2010) basis, meaning that taxes and duties are included in the price at checkout. However, please understand that we have no control over any other duties, taxes, brokerage fees, or other such customs fees, and cannot be held liable for any such fees, no matter what the situation may be.
If you do not pick up your order in the manner agreed, we charge a fee of 30 $ including VAT.
Once you have made your choice and your order has been placed, you will receive an email acknowledging the details of your order. This email is NOT an acceptance of your order, just a confirmation that we have received it. Acceptance of your order and completion of the contract between you and Eton will be completed when we email you to confirm the goods have been dispatched. Our email will be deemed received at the time and date of the sending of the email, regardless of whether, for reasons outside of our control, you have not received that email.
The sale contract shall be deemed to have been concluded in Borås, Sweden and the language of the contract is English. We reserve the right not to accept your order in the event, for example, that we are unable to obtain authorization for payment, that shipping restrictions apply to a particular item, that the item ordered is out of stock or does not satisfy our quality control standards and is withdrawn, or that you do not meet the eligibility criteria set out within the TOS. We may also refuse to process and therefore accept a transaction for any reason or refuse service to anyone at any time at our sole discretion. We will not be liable to you or any third party by reason of our withdrawing any merchandise from the Site whether or not that merchandise has been sold, removing, screening or editing any materials or content on the Site, refusing to process a transaction or unwinding or suspending any transaction after processing has begun.
All pictures should be seen as illustrations, and cannot be guaranteed to reproduce the exact product appearance and characteristics. In the event of errors in the storage status, Eton reserves the right to correct this. This means that if a product in Eton's assortment has been altered, withdrawn or otherwise is not available with respect to reasonable efforts, Eton is not obliged to provide such a product even though the customer ordered the same. If payment has already been made for such a product, Eton will refund as soon as possible, and within 30 days at the latest.
Payment can be made by Visa, MasterCard and American Express, and any other methods which may be clearly advertised on the Site from time to time. Payment will be debited and cleared from your account upon placing your order. You confirm that the credit/debit card that is being used is yours or that you have been specifically authorized by the owner of the credit/debit card to use it. All credit/debit card holders are subject to validation checks and authorization by the card issuer. If the issuer of your payment card refuses to authorize payment to Eton, we will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery.
We take reasonable care to make our Site secure. All credit/debit card transactions on this Site are processed using Adyen, a secure online payment gateway that encrypts your card details in a secure host environment. If you are a registered Eton user, we will securely store your credit/debit card details on our systems. These details will be fully encrypted and only used to process card transactions which you have initiated.
To help ensure that your shopping experience is safe, simple, and secure, Eton uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. Furthermore, we take reasonable care, in so far as it is in our power to do so, to keep the details of your order and payment secure, but in the absence of negligence on our part we cannot be held liable for any loss you may suffer if a third party procures unauthorized access to any data you provide when accessing or ordering from the Site.
We also offer our customers to securely and conveniently send and receive payments online using PayPal. When you use PayPal, your financial information is kept private and every PayPal payment is followed by an email confirming your transaction. You can choose to pay with VISA, MasterCard, American Express or your already registered PayPal account.
This payment method passes your order along to PayPal who receive and control your order. If you have a registered PayPal account you can choose this for purchase without typing your credit card information. Signing up for a PayPal account is optional, which means that you as a customer can complete your payment first, and then decide whether you want to save your information in a PayPal account for future purchases.
If the PayPal payment was funded by credit card the money will go back to the card and depending on the card issuer it may take up to four days before it shows on the customer's credit card statement. Refunds of transactions that were funded by bank account or PayPal balance are credited to the customer's PayPal account.
Eton insures each purchase during the time it is in transit until it is delivered to your specified delivery address. We require a signature for any goods delivered, at which point responsibility for your purchased goods passes to you. If you have specified a recipient who is not you for delivery purposes (for example as a gift) then you accept that evidence of a signature by them (or at that delivery address) is evidence of delivery and fulfillment by Eton, and transfer of responsibility in the same way.
Please note that we aim to dispatch all orders within two business days, subject to payment clearance and stock availability. Order processing may take up to five days during our sales period. We operate Monday to Friday with exception for Swedish public holidays. Estimated delivery times are to be used as a guide only and commence from the date of dispatch. Eton is not responsible for any delays caused by destination customs clearance processes.
Please note that we use wnDirect as a partner to deliver your package(s). Delivery will therefore be made during daytime directly to the final address.
During our sales period delivery may take up to 5-7 working days.
All return(s) are accepted within 60 days after delivery. To return your purchase, please contact our customer care with your order number.
You will need to return the entire order to us by secure means to ensure it reaches us in good condition. A return guide is attached to your shipment, which explains how to proceed with your return. All items must be returned unused and in their original condition and original package, from the original delivery country.
We recommend that you insure the return shipment as you are under a duty to take reasonable care of the goods and will be liable for damage to them until we receive them at our warehouse. Please notice that you are responsible for any damage caused to the product(s) during the return process. In case of dispute, we also recommend you retain proof of sending.
When we have received your return a full refund excluding the freight cost will be issued within 30 days. Please note that you may not cancel an order in regards to goods made to your specifications or clearly personalised or which by reason of their nature cannot be returned or are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly.
Please notice that all returns are handled by our US distribution partner wnDirect.
Exchanges are not possible at this moment. If you for instance have bought the wrong size and want this exchanged, you will have to first return the product and after this put in a new order on the correct product.

Bubble Butt - Rod loving stupefying golden-haired darling Carolina is gently sucking a large pipe
Advertisement X
I figured I would try and head out to the mall and do some shopping and check out the eye candy. So we get into this store and there is this bad ass counter chick there. Carolina was quick to attend to us. This fiery Latin babe had a huge set of tits that had me drooling. I kept cool tho, asking her opinion on what to get a lady friend of mine. Talk about customer service, she went as far as trying the tops on for me. With some slickness, we peeped her fine ass from underneath the curtain. WOW. After all of that, we exchanged numbers and got her to agree to link up later on. When Carolina came by the pad, it was pretty much a given what was gonna go down. Some hardcore fucking. She was quick to suck on some Hunter cock and let me play with her tight bubble butt ass. I could not wait to feel her insides. This chick sure was not getting good dick from her husband, it was feeding a starving child I tell ya. Enjoy this one. It was a great one.

A cloud factory! If I ever have a kid, I would show him this photo when he asks about how clouds are made. I mean, it would be technically true, right? That's evaporated water, after all.
Of course, I will tell him the truth a couple of days later: everybody knows clouds are make by flying unicorn ponies ridden by little incontinent angels. [Abdozeedo]

The Omen is a 1976 film starring Gregory Peck and Lee Remick which tells the story of a happily married couple who, unbeknownst to them, may or may not be raising the son of the Devil. The film was followed by film and book sequels, and was remade in 2006.
Episode 25 of "From the Balcony" references the remake. The show's plot revolves around Waldorf leaving Statler to run the spot by himself. Statler quips, "Also in theatres is a remake of the 1976 cult classic, The Omen. Heh. Maybe the tagline for this should have been 'Meet your re-maker!'" Waldorf's Replacement makes fun of him saying that Hollywood remakes are hip and that buzz for The Omen has been "gi-normous" based on the threads at MySpace. Waldorf returns just in time to deliver this week's balconism: "Opening FREAKend." It's described as a term used when a horror movie's release date corresponds with its subject matter, like releasing The Omen on 6/6/06. Movies.com also used The Omen to advertise the episode on its main page.
Statler and Waldorf had previously mentioned The Omen, and its "scary kid" Damien, during a series of press clips made for networks to air for Halloween 2005.
- Mia Farrow played Mrs. Baylock in The Omen (2006)
- Chris Fitzgerald provided special effects for The Omen (2006)
- Stuart Freeborn provided make-up effects for The Omen (1976)

Electronic Mail Feedback
In a course where all students have access to e-mail, the instructor poses a question(s) and invites students to respond within a specific time period.
Step-By-Step Procedure
- Determine if all students have access to e-mail. If not, provide information on how to access.
- Develop sample questions such as the following and either distribute at
the end of class or post using e-mail:
If you were the instructor, what one change would you implement to make the assignments more meaningful?
If you were the instructor, what one specific change would you make to enhance learning in this course?
- Designate a specific time period students need to respond.
- Compile and share results via e-mail to include the following:
- Reinforce an atmosphere of mutual respect by thanking them for their feedback.
- Discussion of the entire report is not necessary, but the instructor should note what stood out both in terms of the helpful and not-so-helpful feedback.
- Share which suggestions you are willing to act on and which ones you are not and why.
- Students who may feel uncomfortable speaking up in class, may feel more comfortable giving feedback in this forum.
- Convenient and efficient for instructor and students.
- It extends office hours because it allows more time for communication. This may be important to students who commute or have a variety of commitments outside of school (i.e. children, jobs, etc.).

Club Monaco jacket (wearing a size L), ASOS dress, Club Monaco belt (similar), Sam Edelman sandals
Part of the fun of living in a city like San Francisco is hosting friends from out of town. A few weeks back I had the pleasure of hosting my "little sister" from my college sorority! She is quite the photog (check out her website here) so we couldn't help but snap a few pictures. I've been living in some variation of this outfit (bomber jacket, maxi dress & belt) all Summer in San Francisco and loved that she documented it for me!
For those wondering, this jacket is from Club Monaco and i'm wearing a size L. It has been my most-worn item this last season and I couldn't recommend it more.
