Mailcrypt is an Emacs Lisp package which provides a simple but powerful interface to cryptographic functions for mail and news. With Mailcrypt, encryption becomes a seamlessly integrated part of your mail and news handling environment.
This manual is long because it is complete. All of the information you need to get started is contained in this Introduction alone.
Mailcrypt requires version 19 of GNU Emacs. Mailcrypt has been tested on a variety of systems under both FSF Emacs and XEmacs.
Mailcrypt requires Pretty Good (tm) Privacy, usually known as PGP. This document assumes that you have already obtained and installed PGP and that you are familiar with its basic functions. The best way to become familiar with these functions is to read the PGP User's Guide, at least Volume I.
For more information on obtaining and installing PGP, refer to the MIT PGP home page at http://web.mit.edu/network/pgp.html.
Although Mailcrypt may be used to process data in arbitrary Emacs buffers, it is most useful in conjunction with other Emacs packages for handling mail and news. Mailcrypt has specialized support for Rmail (see section `Reading Mail with Rmail' in The GNU Emacs Manual), VM (see section `Introduction' in The VM User's Manual), MH-E, and Gnus (see section `Overview' in The Gnus Manual). Information on the general use of these packages is beyond the scope of this manual.
If Mailcrypt is not installed on your system, obtain the latest version from the Mailcrypt home page at http://cag-www.lcs.mit.edu/mailcrypt/ and follow the instructions in the file `INSTALL'.
Next, teach your Emacs how and when to load the Mailcrypt functions and install the Mailcrypt key bindings. Almost all Emacs major modes (including mail and news handling modes) have corresponding "hook" variables which hold functions to be run when the mode is entered. All you have to do is add the Mailcrypt installer functions to the appropriate hooks; then the installer functions will add the Mailcrypt key bindings when the respective mode is entered.
Specifically, begin by placing the following lines into your `.emacs' file (or the system-wide `default.el' file):
(autoload 'mc-install-write-mode "mailcrypt" nil t) (autoload 'mc-install-read-mode "mailcrypt" nil t) (add-hook 'mail-mode-hook 'mc-install-write-mode)
Then add additional lines for your own mail and news packages as described below.
To hook Mailcrypt into Rmail, use the following lines:
(add-hook 'rmail-mode-hook 'mc-install-read-mode) (add-hook 'rmail-summary-mode-hook 'mc-install-read-mode)
To hook Mailcrypt into VM, use the following lines:
(add-hook 'vm-mode-hook 'mc-install-read-mode) (add-hook 'vm-summary-mode-hook 'mc-install-read-mode) (add-hook 'vm-virtual-mode-hook 'mc-install-read-mode) (add-hook 'vm-mail-mode-hook 'mc-install-write-mode)
To hook Mailcrypt into MH-E, use the following lines:
(add-hook 'mh-folder-mode-hook 'mc-install-read-mode) (add-hook 'mh-letter-mode-hook 'mc-install-write-mode)
To hook Mailcrypt into Gnus, use the following lines:
(add-hook 'gnus-summary-mode-hook 'mc-install-read-mode) (add-hook 'news-reply-mode-hook 'mc-install-write-mode)
All Mailcrypt commands are (by default) activated by three-character key sequences which begin with C-c /. The four most common operations are:
These functions and others are documented in detail in the following chapters.
Any time you are composing or reading mail or news, you can get a
summary of the available commands by typing C-h m. If you are
running Emacs under X, an even easier way to see the available commands
is to access the
Mailcrypt pull-down menu.
Mailcrypt works by providing two minor modes for interfacing with
cryptographic functions:
mc-read-mode and
mc-read-mode provides key bindings for processing messages which
you have received;
mc-write-mode provides key bindings for
processing messages which you are about to send. These minor modes will
indicate when they are active by placing a characteristic string in the
mode line (see section Mode Line). They will also add a
pull-down menu to the menu bar.
The normal installation procedure (see section Installation) will arrange
for the appropriate mode to be active when you read and compose mail and
news. But you may want to use Mailcrypt's functions at other times; to
do so, you can call
mc-install-read-mode or
mc-install-write-mode directly. For example, if you were editing
a file in Text mode and wanted to digitally sign it, you would type
M-x mc-install-write-mode, then C-c / s (see section Signing a Message).
Once one of the Mailcrypt modes is active, you can get a summary of the
available functions by typing C-h m or by examining the
Mailcrypt pull-down menu.
The description of each function below includes which of the modes has a binding for that function.
The function
mc-encrypt will encrypt a message in the current
mc-write-mode binds this function to C-c / e by
When this function is called, Mailcrypt will prompt you for a comma-separated list of recipients. If called from a mail composition buffer, the recipient list will default to the Email addresses in the `To', `CC', and `BCC' lines of the message.
If you want to be able to decrypt the message yourself, you need to add
yourself to the recipient list. If you always want to do so, set the
mc-encrypt-for-me to
t. (Note that Mailcrypt
overrides the PGP "encrypttoself" flag; use this variable instead.)
If you provide an empty recipient list, Mailcrypt will ASCII-armor the message without encrypting it.
Once you have edited the recipient list to your satisfaction, type
RET to accept it. You will then be asked whether you want
to sign the message; answer y or n. You can avoid this
question by setting the variable
mc-pgp-always-sign: A value of
t means "yes", a value of
'never means "no".
If you elect to sign the message, Mailcrypt will prompt you for the appropriate passphrase unless it is cached (see section Passphrase Cache).
Mailcrypt will then pass the message to PGP for processing. Mailcrypt
will call the functions listed in
mc-pre-encryption-hook and
mc-post-encryption-hook immediately before and after processing,
respectively. The encrypted message will then replace the original
message in the buffer. You can undo the encryption with the normal
Emacs undo command C-x u (see section `Undoing Changes' in The GNU Emacs Manual).
If an error occurs, Mailcrypt will display an appropriate diagnostic. If you do not have the public key for one of the specified recipients, Mailcrypt will offer to try to fetch it for you (see section Key Fetching).
The default key for signing is the first one on the secret key ring
which matches the string
mc-pgp-user-id; this defaults to
(user-login-name). Note that this differs from PGP's normal
default, which is to use the first of all of the secret keys. To
mimic PGP's behavior, set this variable to
If you want to use a secret key other than your default for signing the
message, pass a prefix argument to
mc-encrypt. (That is, type
C-u C-c / e.) Mailcrypt will prompt for a string and will sign with
the first key on your secret keyring which matches that string. It will
be assumed that you want to sign the message, so you will not be
The function
mc-sign will clearsign a message in the current
mc-write-mode binds this function to C-c / s by
When this function is called, Mailcrypt will prompt you for the appropriate passphrase unless it is cached (see section Passphrase Cache).
Mailcrypt will then pass the message to PGP for processing. Mailcrypt
will call the functions listed in
mc-pre-signature-hook and
mc-post-signature-hook immediately before and after processing,
respectively. The signed message will replace the original message in
the buffer. Do not edit the message further with the signature
attached, because the signature would then be incorrect. If you
discover you need to edit a message after you have signed it, remove the
signature first with the normal Emacs undo command C-x u
(see section `Undoing Changes' in The GNU Emacs Manual).
The variable
mc-pgp-user-id controls which secret key is used for
signing; it is described in section Encrypting a Message.
To use a different secret key, pass a prefix argument to
(That is, type C-u C-c / s.) Mailcrypt will prompt for a string
and will sign with the first key on your secret keyring which matches
that string.
The function
mc-insert-public-key will extract a key from your
public keyring and insert it into the current buffer.
mc-write-mode binds this function to C-c / x by default.
This function is useful for sending your public key to someone else or
for uploading it to the key servers (see section Key Servers). The inserted
key will be the first one on your public key ring which matches the
mc-pgp-user-id (see section Encrypting a Message).
You may want to insert a different public key instead; for example, you
may have signed someone's key and want to send it back to them. To do
so, pass a prefix argument to
mc-insert-public-key. (That is,
type C-u C-c / x.) You will be prompted for a string; the first key
on your public key ring which matches that string will be inserted.
The function
mc-decrypt will decrypt a message in the current
mc-read-mode binds this function to C-c / d by
When this function is called, Mailcrypt will prompt you for the appropriate passphrase unless it is cached (see section Passphrase Cache).
The encrypted message will then be passed to PGP for processing. If you are not in a mail buffer, the decrypted message will replace the encrypted form. If you are in a mail buffer, you will be prompted whether to do the replacement.
If you answer n, you will be placed in a new mail reading buffer to view the decrypted message. This new mail reading buffer will have no corresponding disk file; its purpose is to provide you with all of your usual reply and citation functions without requiring you to save the message in decrypted form. Type q to kill this buffer.
You can avoid the question of whether to replace the encrypted message
by setting the variable
mc-always-replace. A value of
means "yes"; a value of
'never means "no".
If the encrypted message is also signed, PGP will attempt to verify the signature. If the verification fails because you lack the necessary public key, Mailcrypt will offer to fetch it for you (see section Key Fetching).
Look in the
*MailCrypt* buffer to see the result of the signature
The function
mc-verify will verify the cleartext signature on a
message in the current buffer.
mc-read-mode binds this function
to C-c / v by default.
When this function is called, Mailcrypt will pass the message to PGP for processing and report whether or not the signature verified.
If the signature failed to verify because you lack the necessary public key, Mailcrypt will offer to fetch it for you (see section Key Fetching).
The function
mc-snarf will add to your keyring any keys in the
current buffer.
mc-read-mode binds this function to C-c / a
by default.
This function is useful when someone sends you a public key in an Email message.
This is a long chapter describing an advanced feature; you may want to skip it on first reading.
There are several anonymous remailer services running on the Internet. These are programs that accept mail, strip off information that would identify the origin of the message, and forward the mail to the designated recipient. This simple scheme alone, however, is insecure if the anonymous remailer becomes compromised (or if the remailer was set up by an untrustworthy party in the first place). Whoever controls the remailer will have access to the identities of senders and recipients.
One solution to this is to use chains of remailers that send encrypted messages. For example, suppose Bill wishes to send a message to Louis using a chain of remailers A, B, and C. He writes the message (possibly encrypting it for Louis), then encrypts the result (including the fact that Louis is the recipient) using a public key supplied by remailer C. Then he encrypts this result using a public key supplied by remailer B. Then he encrypts this result using a public key supplied by A and sends the message to A.
When A receives the message, it decrypts the message with its key to produce something encrypted for B, learns that the next remailer in the chain is B, strips off the information that the message came from Bill, and sends the message on to B. B then decrypts, learns that the next remailer in the chain is C, strips off the information that the message came from A, and sends the result to C. C then decrypts, learns that the destination is Louis, strips off the information that the message came from B, and sends the result to Louis. With this arrangement, only A knows that the original message came from Bill, and only C knows that the intended recipient is Louis. In general, the sender and recipient can both be known only to someone who has compromised all remailers in the chain.
If Bill wishes, he can include an encrypted "response block" in his message to Louis, which defines a remailer chain that Louis can use to reply to Bill. Louis can use this chain without knowing who Bill is -- only the last remailer in the chain need know the final recipient. Bill can also establish a pseudonym for use in signing his anonymous messages.
Mailcrypt includes facilities for sending messages via remailers, for defining chains of remailers, for generating response blocks, and for using pseudonyms.
To use Mailcrypt's remailing facilities, you need to configure them first. Begin with the following steps:
firstname.lastname@example.com for a list of remailer public keys. Note
that Mailcrypt requires that you have the public keys of all the
remailers you want to use, and therefore that the remailers support PGP
Note: These steps need only be done once, although repeating them from time to time is probably a good idea, since remailers come and go.
Now test the remailer functions. First compose an outgoing Email message (using C-x m, for example) addressed to yourself. Type C-c / r. Choose a remailer; use TAB to get completion on its name. The buffer will be rewritten for anonymous mailing through that remailer.
mc-write-mode binds the function
mc-remailer-encrypt-for-chain to the key C-c / r. This
function rewrites the message for a remailer or chain. The resulting
buffer is just a new Email message, so it can itself be rewritten for
another remailer; this is one way to manually construct a remailer
Mailcrypt also has powerful facilities for defining automatic chains. We will start with an example. Suppose you have put the following into your `.emacs' file:
(setq mc-remailer-user-chains '(("Foo" "alumni" "robo") ("Bar" (shuffle-vector ["replay" "flame" "spook"])) ("Baz" "Foo" "Bar" "rahul" "Bar") ("Quux" 4)))
This code defines four chains. The first is named "Foo" and consists of "alumni" and "robo", in that order. The second is named "Bar" and consists of "replay", "flame", and "spook" in some random order (a different order will be chosen each time the chain is used). The third is named "Baz" and consists of 9 remailers: The two from "Foo", followed by a permutation of the three from "Bar", followed by "rahul", followed by another permutation of the three from "Bar". Finally, the fourth is named "Quux" and consists of a random permutation of the four best remailers as ordered in the `~/.remailers' file.
Now whenever you are prompted for a "remailer or chain", the chains "Foo", "Bar", "Baz", and "Quux" will be available, including TAB completion on their names. By capitalizing their names, you guarantee they will show up near the top of the completion list if you type TAB on an empty input.
Now for the gritty details.
mc-remailer-user-chains is a list of
chain definitions. A chain definition is a list whose first element is
the name (a string) and whose remaining elements form a remailer
list. Each element of a remailer list is one of the following:
So, in the example "Bar" above,
shuffle-vector is actually a Lisp
primitive which returns a random permutation of the argument vector.
(Which brings up a side note: A remailer list can be a vector instead of
a list if you like.)
So where do the definitions for "replay" etc. come from?
There is another variable,
mc-remailer-internal-chains, which has
the same format as
mc-remailer-user-chains. In fact, the
concatenation of the two is always used internally when resolving chains
by name. The "internal chains" are normally generated automatically
from a Levien-format remailer list, which lives in `~/.remailers'
by default and is parsed at startup time. The parser creates several
chains, each containing a single remailer, and names each chain after
the respective remailer.
Thus "replay" (for example) is actually the name of a chain whose single element is the remailer at <firstname.lastname@example.com>. So "replay" is a valid name of a chain to include in the definition of another chain, as was done above in the definition of "Bar".
Mailcrypt can generate a response block for you. Just type C-c / b in an outgoing mail buffer. That will prompt you for a chain to use, and will insert the response block at point. Note that you can use any chain you want for your response block; it need not be related to the chain you (later) use to remail the message.
If instead you type C-u C-c / b, you will be dropped into a recursive edit of the innermost part of the response block. This text is what you will see at the top of the message when the response block is used. This text is the only way to identify the response block, since it will be used to mail you through anonymous remailers.
You probably won't need to use the C-u feature, since by default the response block contains the date, `To' field, and `From' field of the message you are composing. However, if you want your response block to point to a USENET newsgroup instead of your Email address, you may edit the innermost part of the response block to have a `Newsgroups' line instead of a `To' line.
Inserting a response block also updates the `Reply-to' hashmark header field. So, when your recipient replies to your message, the reply will automatically be addressed properly. This only works if the last remailer in the chain used to encrypt the message supports hashmarks (the response block chain doesn't matter). If the last remailer does not support hashmarks, Mailcrypt will generate an error when you try to use the chain.
Note that you should insert your response block before you encrypt the message for remailing. Also, see section Remailer Security.
Mailcrypt supports pseudonyms. Type C-c / p in an outgoing message buffer and you will be prompted for a pseudonym to use. Your pseudonym will show up in the `From' line that the recipient sees. Your pseudonym may either be a complete `From' line (including an Email address), or just a full name (with no Email address). In the latter case, the Email address will automatically be set to <firstname.lastname@example.com>, an invalid address designed to prevent sendmail from going rewrite-happy.
If you have one or more pseudonyms which you normally use, and you aren't afraid of revealing them if your account is compromised, you can set up a default list of pseudonyms with lines like the following in your `.emacs' file:
(setq mc-remailer-pseudonyms '("Elvis Presley" "Vanna White" "Charles Manson"))
Then those names will be available for completion when you are prompted for your pseudonym.
You should insert your pseudonym before you insert a response block, so that the response block will contain the `From' line as well as the `To' line. That way you can tell who you were pretending to be when you get a reply to your message.
Note: Many remailers do not support pseudonyms. In addition, the Levien format does not (yet) indicate which do and which do not, so Mailcrypt can't warn you when your pseudonym isn't going to work. The only way to be sure is to send yourself a test message, and to try different remailers until you find one or more which work. On the bright side, only the last remailer in the chain needs to provide such support; none of the others matter.
Mailcrypt knows how to rewrite USENET posts for anonymous or pseudonymous remailing. Just compose your post or followup normally, and use C-c / r to rewrite it for a remailer chain. You don't even need to start your newsreader to make a post; you can just compose a message in mail mode and replace the `To' line with a `Newsgroups' line before doing C-c / r.
Mailcrypt will generate an error if the last remailer in the chain does
not have both the
post and
hash (hashmarks) properties.
The hashmarks are used to preserve `References' and similar
headers, so your anonymous or pseudonymous followups will thread
properly. The variable
mc-remailer-preserved-headers controls
which headers are preserved when rewriting a message, but you should not
need to change it since the default value is reasonable.
Before rewriting, you can use C-c / p to insert your pseudonym, and C-c / b to insert your response block, just like when composing mail. In this case, the response block will include the `From' line and the `Newsgroups' line (which is the news analogue to the `To' line).
Mixmaster is a new kind of remailer which provides excellent security against traffic analysis and replay attacks. (For more information on these attacks and Mixmaster, see Lance Cottrell's home page at http://www.obscura.com/~loki/.
If you do not use Mixmaster, you may skip this section entirely; Mailcrypt's default configuration treats Mixmaster as if it did not exist.
If you have the Mixmaster executable installed, you can tell Mailcrypt to use it by placing lines like the following into your `.emacs' file:
(setq mc-mixmaster-path "mixmaster") (setq mc-mixmaster-list-path "/foo/bar/baz/type2.list")
mc-mixmaster-path is a string representing the Mixmaster
mc-mixmaster-list-path is the complete path to the
type2.list file.
Once these variables are defined, Mailcrypt will automatically try to
use the Mixmaster executable whenever possible. Specifically, when you
rewrite a message for a chain, Mailcrypt will find maximal length
sub-chains which have the
mix property and will use the Mixmaster
executable to rewrite for those sub-chains.
This allows arbitrary intermingling of Mixmaster and normal (also called Type 1) remailers, but you should note that this is not recommended. The recommended procedure is to have a single Mixmaster sub-chain which is most or all of the whole chain.
There are advantages and disadvantages to having the Mixmaster sub-chain at the end of the whole chain. The primary advantage is that Mixmaster remailers support multiple recipients. The primary disadvantages are that they do not support pseudonyms nor posting.
So here, as always, it is the last element of the chain which needs to support the special features you want. In general, the remaining elements do not matter, and the superior security of Mixmaster remailers is a good argument for using them for the bulk of your chains.
Mixmaster remailers also have a "Type 1 compatibility mode" which you
might want to invoke to use a pseudonym or make a post. You can do this
with the function
mc-demix. Here is an example of its use:
(setq mc-remailer-user-chains '(("Foo" "vishnu" "spook") ("Bar" "Foo" (mc-demix "replay"))))
This makes "Bar" a chain of three remailers, and guarantees that the last one ("replay") will be used in compatibility mode.
Note that Mixmaster remailers cannot be used for response blocks.
Mailcrypt will ignore the
mix property when generating a response
Keep in mind that there is only one person fully qualified to protect your privacy: you. You are responsible for obtaining a list of remailers and their public keys; you are responsible for choosing which of them to use and in what order. There are public lists of remailers and keys (the Quick Start section above relies on them), but you pay for the convenience by putting your trust in a single source. This is one reason Mailcrypt does not access these public lists automatically; you need to get into the habit of watching what goes on behind the scenes. You should also try to learn something about the remailers themselves, since you are relying on them to help protect your privacy.
How many remailers should you include in your chain, and how should you choose them? That depends on whom you perceive as a threat. If the threat is your ex-spouse or your boss, even a single remailer is probably adequate (more won't hurt, but will cost in latency). If the threat is the Church of Scientology, you probably want to use a fair number of remailers across multiple continents. If the threat is a major world government, well, best of luck to you.
Also, there is a huge difference between chains suitable for regular messages and chains suitable for response blocks. Some remailers don't even keep mail logs (at least, their operators claim they do not), so it may be literally impossible to trace a message back to you after the fact if you chain it through enough remailers. Response blocks, on the other hand, have your identity buried in there somewhere. In principle, at least, it is possible to compromise the keys of all the remailers in the chain and decrypt the response block. So you should either use very long and strong chains for your response blocks, avoid using response blocks at all, or only use response blocks which themselves ultimately point to a newsgroup.
Here is a plausible sequence of operations when using the remailer support in Mailcrypt:
mc-sign function
understands pseudonyms.
Now the recipient(s), reading your message through mail or news, can verify your pseudonymous signature; thus you have started to create a verifiable pseudonymous identity. If you use it consistently, it will develop a reputation of its own. With Mailcrypt, using a pseudonym is almost as easy as using your real name (and your followups in news will even thread properly). Welcome to the new age of letters...
This is a collection of tips for using Mailcrypt's remailer support.
mc-levien-file-name for a description of Levien
pgp (required),
(required if you use hashmark headers), and
post (required for
posting to USENET). Remailers which do not support PGP won't even show
up in the completion list.
Mailcrypt can remember your passphrase so that you need not type it
repeatedly. It will also "forget" your passphrase if it has not been
used in a while, thus trading some security for some convenience. You
can tune this tradeoff with the variable
mc-passwd-timeout, which
is a duration in seconds from the last time the passphrase was used
until Mailcrypt will forget it. The default value is 60 seconds.
So, for example, to make Mailcrypt remember your passphrase for 10 minutes after each use, you would use the following line in your `.emacs' file:
(setq mc-passwd-timeout 600)
A value of
nil or 0 will disable passphrase caching completely.
This provides some increase in security, but be aware that you are
already playing a dangerous game by typing your passphrase at a Lisp
Mailcrypt understands multiple secret keys with distinct passphrases.
To manually force Mailcrypt to forget your passphrase(s), use the
mc-deactivate-passwd. Both
mc-read-mode and
mc-write-mode bind this function to C-c / f by default.
Warning: Although Mailcrypt takes pains to overwrite your passphrase when "forgetting", it cannot prevent the Emacs garbage collector from possibly leaving copies elsewhere in memory. Also, your last 100 keystrokes can always be viewed with the function
view-lossage, normally bound to C-h l. So be sure to type at least 100 characters after typing your passphrase if you plan to leave your terminal unattended.
Mailcrypt knows how to fetch PGP public keys from the key servers
(see section Key Servers). The function
mc-pgp-fetch-key is bound by
default to C-c / k in both
mc-read-mode and
mc-write-mode. Additionally,
mc-decrypt, and
mc-verify will offer to call this function
to automatically fetch a desired key. If you call it manually, it will
prompt you for the User ID of the key to fetch.
The variable
mc-pgp-fetch-methods is a list of ways to attempt to
fetch a key. (More precisely, it is a list of functions to be called,
each of which will attempt to fetch the key.) The methods will be tried
in the order listed. The default list is:
'(mc-pgp-fetch-from-keyrings mc-pgp-fetch-from-finger mc-pgp-fetch-from-http)
For a description of these functions, see the following sections.
If you are not directly on the Internet, you probably want to obtain a copy of the global public key ring from the keyservers, install it somewhere under the name `public-keys.pgp', and do:
(setq mc-pgp-fetch-methods '(mc-pgp-fetch-from-keyrings)) (setq mc-pgp-fetch-keyring-list '("/blah/blah/blah/public-keys.pgp"))
This will allow you to fetch keys from your local copy of the global key ring instead of sending requests to the key servers directly (see section Keyring Fetch). Alternately, if your organization has a proxy HTTP server, you can configure Mailcrypt to use that. See section HTTP Fetch.
If the key is found, you will be shown the result of running PGP on it locally. This allows you to inspect the signatures on the key relative to your own keyring before you consent to having it added. Inspect the signatures carefully! Key distribution is often the Achilles' heel of public key protocols. If you blindly use keys obtained from the key servers, you are asking for trouble.
All of the methods use
mc-pgp-fetch-timeout as a timeout in
seconds; the default value is 30.
The function
mc-pgp-fetch-from-keyrings will attempt to fetch a
key from a set of keyrings on the locally accessible filesystem. This
is useful if your organization maintains a large common public keyring
whose entire contents you do not wish to duplicate on your own ring. It
is also useful if you download a copy of the global public ring from the
key servers (see section Key Servers).
The variable
mc-pgp-fetch-keyring-list controls this behavior.
It is a list of file names of public keyrings which this function will
search, in order, when seeking a key. The default value is
meaning this search will always fail.
The function
mc-pgp-fetch-from-finger will attempt to fetch a key
by fingering an address and parsing the output for a PGP public key
The function
mc-pgp-fetch-from-http will attempt to fetch a key
by connecting to a key server (see section Key Servers) which has a World
Wide Web interface.
The variables
mc-pgp-keyserver-port, and
control the fetching process. The default is to use Brian LaMacchia's
key server at MIT. If this default should stop working, or if you want
to help with network congestion and machine load, you can choose a
different server. As of this writing, any of the following sequences of
Emacs Lisp in your `.emacs' file will work; choose one:
;; Key server at MIT (Massachusetts, USA) ;; This is the default; these lines are only for reference ;(setq mc-pgp-keyserver-address "pgp.ai.mit.edu") ;(setq mc-pgp-keyserver-port 80) ;(setq mc-pgp-keyserver-url-template ; "/htbin/pks-extract-key.pl?op=get&search=%s")

If your organization has a firewall, you might not be able to access the World Wide Web directly. Your organization may have a proxy HTTP server set up, however. In that case, you should place code like the following in your `.emacs' file. You can use any of the above key servers instead of the one at MIT, of course.
;; Mailcrypt configuration for accessing key server through HTTP proxy (setq mc-pgp-keyserver-address "your.proxy.com") (setq mc-pgp-keyserver-port 13013) ; Your proxy's port (setq mc-pgp-keyserver-url-template "http://pgp.ai.mit.edu/htbin/pks-extract-key.pl?op=get&search=%s")
Note that fetching from a key server can be somewhat slow, so be patient. (At least it beats the tar out of the Email interface.)
This chapter documents some additional Mailcrypt configuration options which could not be naturally described elsewhere.
By default, Mailcrypt will use the same public keyring that PGP would use if executed from the shell.
You can cause Mailcrypt to use a specific public keyring by setting the
mc-pgp-alternate-keyring. If this variable is set,
Mailcrypt will use that keyring for all functions which would otherwise
have used the default. This includes adding keys, extracting keys,
verifying signatures, and encrypting messages.
This feature might be useful if you maintain multiple keyrings; you can switch between them by setting this variable. Depending on your tastes, you might want to configure fetching from a keyring as well (see section Keyring Fetch).
By default, Mailcrypt will supply a "comment" option to PGP, resulting in output which looks something like this:
----- BEGIN PGP FOOBAR ----- Version: 2.6.3 Comment: Processed by Mailcrypt 3.4, an Emacs/PGP interface ... ----- END PGP FOOBAR -----
To change the comment to one of your own, set the variable
mc-pgp-comment. Set it to
nil to use PGP's default, which
is probably either no comment or something defined in `config.txt'.
mc-read-mode and
mc-write-mode will each indicate they are
active by placing the string `MC-r' or `MC-w' in the mode
line, respectively.
You can change these strings by setting the variables
mc-read-mode-string and
mc-write-mode-string. So, for
example, to get rid of the mode indicators entirely, you might put the
following lines into your `.emacs' file:
(setq mc-read-mode-string "") (setq mc-write-mode-string "")
The Mailcrypt key bindings are defined by the keymaps
mc-read-mode-map and
mc-write-mode-map. To change the key
bindings, you just need to set these variables in your `.emacs'
For example, if you wanted C-c C-m to be the Mailcrypt prefix
(instead of C-c /) in
mc-read-mode, you would put the
following code in your `.emacs' file:
(setq mc-read-mode-map (make-sparse-keymap)) (define-key mc-read-mode-map "\C-c\C-mf" 'mc-deactivate-passwd) (define-key mc-read-mode-map "\C-c\C-md" 'mc-decrypt) (define-key mc-read-mode-map "\C-c\C-mv" 'mc-verify) (define-key mc-read-mode-map "\C-c\C-ma" 'mc-snarf) (define-key mc-read-mode-map "\C-c\C-mk" 'mc-pgp-fetch-key)
For more information on Emacs key bindings, see section `Customizing Key Bindings' in The GNU Emacs Manual.
The information in this section should be unnecessary, but is provided "just in case".
Mailcrypt will look for the PGP executable in your standard search path
under the name `pgp'. To use a different name (or to provide a
complete path), set the variable
In order to keep your identities straight, Mailcrypt needs to know where your secret keyring resides.
Mailcrypt figures this out heuristically by assuming that the file `secring.pgp' is in the same directory as your public key ring. It determines the location of the latter by doing a dry run of PGP with `+verbose=1' and parsing the output.
If this heuristic is failing for you, you can manually tell Mailcrypt
where your secret key ring is by setting the variable
mc-pgp-keydir, like this:
(setq mc-pgp-keydir "/users/patl/.pgp/")
Note that the trailing slash is required.
If the heuristic fails, please report it as a bug (see section Credits).
Note that if you have changed the default location of your secret
keyring, Mailcrypt will be unable to locate it. You can work around
this by either setting
mc-pgp-keydir, or by making a symbolic
link to your secret keyring from `secring.pgp' in your default
public keyring directory.
Here are some random tips.
mc-passwd-timeout. If your paranoia permits, consider increasing
it to five or ten minutes (see section Passphrase Cache).
buffer. Check it occasionally for status and warning messages.
Mailcrypt is a powerful program, but it is not a complete PGP interface. Perhaps some future version will be; in the meantime, you will need to use the command-line interface for some operations. Things which the current version does not support include:
buffer; see section Tips.)
This chapter contains information and pointers to information about topics related to PGP and Mailcrypt.
Key servers are machines with a publicly accessible interface to an enormous global public keyring. Anyone may add keys to or query this keyring. Each key server holds a complete copy of the global keyring, and they arrange to keep one another informed of additions they receive.
This means you can tell any key server to add your public key to the global keyring, and all of the other servers will know about it within a day or so. Then anyone will be able to query any key server to obtain your public key.
To add your key to the keyservers, send an Email message to
email@example.com with a subject line of `ADD'
and a body containing your public key block. With Mailcrypt installed,
you can just type C-c / x to insert your public key block
(see section Inserting a Public Key Block) into the body of the message.
For help with the Email interface to the key servers, send a message with a subject line of `HELP'. For a World Wide Web interface to the key servers, see Brian LaMacchia's home page at http://www-swiss.ai.mit.edu/~bal/.
Some other key servers include:
For a complete list, consult any good online repository of PGP information (see section Online Resources).
It is strongly recommended that you submit your key to the key servers, since many humans and programs (including Mailcrypt) may look for it there. Besides, it takes mere seconds and the pain passes quickly.
If you would like to automatically receive information about new releases of Mailcrypt, send Email to `firstname.lastname@example.com' asking to be placed on the `mc-announce' mailing list. The mailing list is maintained manually, so please be patient.
The `mc-announce' list is reserved for announcements of new Mailcrypt versions, so it has extremely low volume. We encourage you to add yourself so we can get a rough idea of how many people are using our package.
Cryptography in general, PGP in particular, and free software are politically somewhat controversial topics. Heck, in the U.S. Congress, freedom of speech is a controversial topic. Anyway, here are some organizations you should definitely watch and preferably send lots of money.
Mailcrypt's remailer support was inspired by the Communications Decency Act of 1995 (see http://www.cdt.org/cda.html) and by the International "Church" of Scientology (see http://www.mit.edu:8001/people/rnewman/scientology/).
Mailcrypt was written by Jin Choi (firstname.lastname@example.com) and Pat LoPresti (firstname.lastname@example.com). Please send us your bug reports and comments. Also see section Mailing List.

I got a new baby carrier! I know Alison is 2 isn't that a bit old? Absolutely not!
It holds up to 45 pounds and Alison is only 26 pounds and we plan on having another kid someday in the future. Anyways its a BabyErgo, Alison loves it and I LOVE it!
I got it last week and wore it around the mall and it worked so great I thought we would do something I have been wanting to do for a long time, hiking at Torrey Pines!
As you can see I can carry Alison like a backpack and almost all her weight was on my hips instead of on my back, yea it was awesome and allowed us to spend around 3 hours or so hiking around.
It was so beautiful, I wish these pictures could properly convey how lovely it was.
We did take a hiking break for about 30 minutes to let Alison run around and stretch her legs.
There was a nice flat area for Alison to run around near the visitors center.
They have scenic resting places along the way.
There were a bunch of these little lizards all over the place as well as some really fat ground squirrels.
Yep, couldn't have done this with a stroller!
All the paths looked pretty much like this. All of them dirt but some had fencing when the drop was particularly steep.
I wish this picture could include the sound of the waves, feel the warm sun shining on you and the cool breeze coming from across the ocean.
Large sand rock formation called 'Lions Paw'
They had a lot of signs telling people to stay away because the sand stone is too fragile for people to be messing with it.
It was a really good time! Alison was worn out and after about five minutes of being in the car she passed out.

Dick and Jane Millager are wood workers with many years of experience. Their western designs are influenced from time spent in the southwestern states of Arizona, California, Texas and New Mexico. Dick's love for wood and appreciation of the living tree can be seen by his ability to apply the ancient art of chip carving. Jane's Cherokee heritage can be seen in her intricate scroll sawed designs. Her popular "Ornaments from around the World" series is evidence of her love for celebrating our global diversity. Their uniquely hand crafted items have been sold to collectors throughout the world.
Dick and Jane's work is accomplished by their hands alone, no laser cutting, no CNC machining and no employees or contractors.
The laminated and segmented objects contain precision cut pieces of hardwoods. Any exotics used are purchased from established legal sources. These many pieces of wood are sanded, glued and then sanded again and glued, until a rough vessel shape appears. Within this shape will hide a beautiful wooden object that will only reveal itself as they apply their skill to the whirling object on the lathe.
Dick's chip carving that adorns the bowls, boxes, clocks and plates is done with one hand held knife. Although carved in the traditional style, the precision of the patterns is developed on the computer giving them an exactness that the ancient craftsmen could only dream about.
Jane's desire to honor the natural world has led her to design a line of southwestern inspired accessories. She has developed a unique process of working with small highly detailed pieces of hardwood veneers.
When satisfied with the object, they apply a minimum of three coats of finish modified with a urethane to bring out the wood's natural beauty and to build durability. The finish is non toxic and the process by which it is applied took over five years of experimenting to develop. Each coat is worked to impart a warm, natural, hand-rubbed look and feel. The goal is to provide a quality product of exceptional value that can be enjoyed for a lifetime.
All of our products have a urethane finish that will last for years. They can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and then dried immediately. If you have used an item to serve food, such as salad, bread, chips, or nuts and you feel it needs washing, simply swish it out with warm soapy water, rinse and again, dry it immediately. The urethane finish seals in the natural oil of the wood so it will not dry out. It doesn't have to be oiled like they did in the old days.
Moisture and temperature changes should be avoided as they cause the cells of the wood to expand and contract. Some simple rules to follow: Do not serve either hot or cold liquids. Do not submerge in water for extended periods of time and of course - no dishwasher or microwave.

MatchBox Aeronautical Systems unveiled a new line of aviation electronics designed and engineered by pilots for pilots at last month's U.S. Sport Aviation Expo in Sebring, Fla.
With its engineering and manufacturing facility based in Palm Coast, Florida, (XFL) MatchBox set its mission goals on delivering a host of electronic accessories for all pilots whether they are aircraft owners or not.
Beginning as a flight school owned and operated by a retire Flying Tigers/FedX pilot and partnering with a corporate pilot/electrical engineer, the Matchbox team set their sights on filling a void of peripheral aeronautical products missing in the aviation market. The goal was to design and build state-of-the art electronics with a high degree of accuracy at reasonable costs to the avid pilot supporting safety, comfort, and convenience, company officials said.
Matchbox's flagship handheld unit is the Flight Companion Model FC-1, which houses an accurate Altitude Alert system keeping the marriage of pilot and ATC happy, a digital Tank Timer for accurate fuel management, high powered headphone audio power amplifies for high quality audio with low noise levels, and a new cell phone interface system designed for low noise and harmonic distortion.
Each feature set of the FC-1 is also sold separately in small compact cases, which are about the size of a matchbox.
"As a flight school and CFI we were always looking for portable accessory products that can help not only flight students but also veteran pilots," said Randy Patterson, president. " Now with my experience and my partner's electrical engineering background we have the power to build it ourselves right here in the USA."
MatchBox Aeronautical Systems will be exhibiting its new products at next month's Sun 'n Fun, in Hangar E, Space 31.

text: Trevor Franklin's top three bikes of 2009 Published: 23 December 2009 1) KTM RC8R When KTM introduced the 1190 RC8 in 2008, its specification promised so much. The 1148cc motor was credited with a 152.6bhp and 88.56ftlb of torque – big figures for a 75° V-twin. With this potent lump bolted into a taut, lithe chassis and dressed in sharper than sharp clothes, the RC8 became a serious rival to Ducati's 1098 series. In 2009 KTM went one further with the introduction of the RC8R; a ready to race version of the RC8, complete with more cubes (1195cc), horsepower (170bhp) and revised chassis components. Such detail changes like these are precise reasons why V-twin lovers (including me) go into meltdown. Come the time of the RC8R's world press launch at Portimao circuit, Portugal, I was in a heightened state of excitement. Not just from the thought of running riot with a 170bhp, V-twin, but, believe it or not, something as simple as the bike's styling. It is so modern and purposeful in looks it makes everything else look dated by ten years. I've now ridden an RC8R on several other circuits and racked up a lot of road miles, and my opinion of the bike has stretched further for the better: it is a serious corner-mashing, high-speed projectile that makes me laugh every time I open the throttle. The engine is an all alloy demon. It launches the chassis and rider out of turns with seriously deceptive stomp – deceptive only because the engine revs so much slower than an in-line multi and the chassis keeps it all under perfect control to give a feeling of wellbeing. But then there's also a heady top end surge that makes sure the RC8R carries its explosive delivery down the next straight. Suspension is the best WP has to offer for a road bike and any adjustment is noticeable – if your local roads are anything other than runway smooth then the firm damping really needs backing off, which is something different from the norm. But this still doesn't detract from your cornering pleasure: still sure-footed with enough feedback so you can actually feel the rear tyre digging in under acceleration. Other details like height adjustable subframe, rear ride height and footpegs are no less important and go towards tailoring the bike to each rider. Not forgetting the Brembo brakes – not that you will after the first major speed-killing stroke of the lever. In a nutshell: the RC8R is a Ducati beater in every way. And this is written by a Ducatisti… 2) Triumph 675 Daytona Being very, very honest when I say the previous 2006-08 Daytona 675 and I didn't gel. Slight but irritable details like the slow action gearbox, asthmatic power in the upper two gears and the harsh feel from the engine when worked hard spoiled my view of the bike. In 2009 Triumph rolled out its updated version on Spain's tight and twisting Cartegena circuit. Considering the changes were minimal (restyled upper fairing, lighter rear wheel, gearbox cylinder head mods etc), the bike performed like a completely new and far better machine. Its track performance was only bettered by its ability to make the rider smile equally as much on the open road. We can thank the torque-producing triple engine for most of the fun it gives, and the superb chassis for the rest of it; from brakes to suspension to the easy to live with riding position In all the 2009 Daytona 675 is a brilliant middleweight machine, enabling any rider of any experience to ride any type of road at a pace he is happiest with and still feel in control. And it looks a piece. 3) BMW F800GS BMW's idea to take the successful large capacity GS trail-monster and shrink the concept into a smaller capacity version was simple, if a little delayed. Enter then, the F800GS, a similarly brilliant and affordable go anywhere mile-muncher. The F800 GS doesn't use the tried and trusted Boxer engine, but rather the new and very acceptable parallel twin now used in four other models (F800 range, and the lower capacity F650GS). The 798cc engine is brilliant for light off-road duties because of its low rpm torque. The upper rev power of 85bhp makes light work of motorway jaunts, which at a steady 70mph(ish) will easy return 60mpg and more, which is good news considering tank capacity is only 16-litres The 21in wire spoke front wheel is not a styling exercise but the norm for retaining steering control when riding off road, and also makes light steering through town. Comfort is excellent, as you'd expect from a distance-going BMW. But what really floats my boat is it looks the part of a big trailie (huge road presence) and does the same job of getting from A-to-C via B in comfort. Not bad for £7350 machine with a BMW badge.

A Workplace Fairness Issue in Utah?
SALT LAKE CITY - All but a handful of the nation's Fortune 500 companies now voluntarily include protections against workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation. That makes most major companies more inclusive than Utah.
In the Beehive State, people can still lose their jobs because they are gay or lesbian, bisexual or transgender.
When the Equality Forum first began polling the Fortune 500 in 2004, about two-thirds had anti-discrimination policies that included sexual orientation and gender identity. Today, the list has grown to 95 percent. Equality Forum executive director Malcolm Lazin says it's just one sign of changing times.
"I think what is obviously encouraging is that, within the last two years, we have now seen sexual orientation and gender identity included in the federal hate crime bill; and then most recently, Congress repealed 'Don't Ask Don't Tell.' "
The only Utah-based company in the Fortune 500, Huntsman International, includes sexual orientation protection as part of its human resource policies. In the past week, Lazin says, two more companies have added language to their rules protecting LGBT workers from discrimination, bringing the total to 479.
The survey also raises what Lazin calls "a legitimate question about Mitt Romney's values." Of the presidential candidates and their running mates, he says Romney is the only one who has not voiced support for changing the federal Employment Non-Discrimination Act to include LGBT workers.
"Particularly in the presidential debates, this is a question that needs to be asked. Gov. Romney campaigned in Massachusetts as being very 'pro-gay' - I mean very pro-gay - and now that he's running for president, his positions on this, and obviously a lot of other issues, have changed."
Lazin says a majority of people in both political parties have said they support affording LGBT workers the same anti-discrimination protections as those based on religion, race, age or gender.

If your doctor says you have atrial fibrillation, he probably doesn't know what's causing it. That's because we don't always know what causes atrial fibrillation or irregular heart rhythm. Fortunately, it's not usually life threatening. But if it becomes chronic, this irregularity becomes more serious and can lead to stroke or even death.
Now a group of Danish researchers has found at least one previously unknown cause of atrial fibrillation: ordinary anti-inflammatory drugs like aspirin. The researchers compared tens of thousands of Danes diagnosed with atrial fibrillation with control patients. They found a direct association with the condition and the use of NSAIDs and COX-2 inhibitors. In other words, the painkillers caused the atrial fibrillation.
Seniors and new users were at the highest risk. In fact, some new users had a 70% increased risk.
I've talked before about the risks that come from taking some popular painkillers. Opiods like OxyContin, Vicodin, and Demerol, for instance, cause the most serious side effects among the painkillers. They are worse than NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) like aspirin or COX inhibitors (Coxibs) like Celebrex. But, as you can see from this study, NSAIDs and COX inhibitors aren't safe either.
If you have atrial fibrillation and take painkillers or anti-inflammatory drugs, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about safer ways to manage your pain. And if you want to eliminate your atrial fibrillation, I have a suggestion that may work for you. You see, I had atrial fibrillation for two years. Many of my episodes often lasted the entire day. Now I have none.

My solution — and one that's safe for you to try — was to take a new heart-supporting formula called Circutol. This supplement combines hawthorn berry with l-carnitine, medicinal mushrooms, and nattokinase to feed and regulate heart function. I took it as a preventive formula since heart disease runs in my family. One of the side effects from taking Circutol was an absence of atrial fibrillation. When I stopped taking Circutol, my atrial fibrillation returned. Now I just take half the dose and my heartbeats are as regular as they can be.

Spotlight on: Wilfrid Laurier University
Laurier is among RECODE's round one funding recipients. Read on below to learn more about social innovation and social entrepreneurship activities and programs happening on Laurier's campuses.
An Ashoka Changemaker Campus
In the spring of 2016, Laurier was named a "Changemaker Campus" by Ashoka U — a prestigious designation signifying Laurier's role as a global leader in social entrepreneurship and social innovation education.
To support students who are looking for a meaningful and well-rounded university experience, Laurier takes an "integrated and engaged" approach to education that links academic and experiential learning, while also "instilling the courage to engage and challenge the world in all its complexity." From co-op programs to community service learning, Laurier provides a wide range of innovative learning opportunities for students. Below are some of the initiatives that helped them earn the Changemaker Campus designation.
The Schlegel Centre for Entrepreneurship and Social Innovation
The Schlegel Centre for Entrepreneurship and Social Innovation is inspired by the vital role entrepreneurs play in the Canadian economy, and is dedicated to enhancing academic research in entrepreneurship and building and supporting entrepreneurship and social innovation in the Laurier community. It serves as the umbrella organization for Laurier's social innovation and entrepreneurial offerings.
Social Innovation and Venture Creation
Launched in 2015, Laurier's Social Innovation and Venture Creation (SIVC) initiative builds on the Social Entrepreneurship Academic Option and several student clubs and groups that formed around the vision and goal of influencing positive social change. The SIVC team is small but mighty, and works in collaboration with a large network of partners to facilitate and drive social innovation and social entrepreneurship activities across Laurier campuses and within the wider community.
SIVC facilitates and supports social ventures designed to address a complex social issue with sustainable, collaborative and impactful strategies and approaches. This work may include:
- The creation of a social enterprise (for-profit, non-profit, co-op or other business model);
- A social innovation (technology, process, service, or concept);
- Intrapreneurship (working from within an established framework to reconceive of and improve the outcomes and social benefits); or</li
- Other approaches to sustainably improve or transform our social sphere for the better (e.g. advocacy, activism, policy work, knowledge sharing, etc.).
Purpose Lab
An initiative of SIVC, the Purpose Lab exists as the epicentre of student driven social innovation on Laurier's Waterloo campus. The Lab provides collaboration space for students, faculty and staff to work together on social innovation projects. Students from all faculties and years are welcome to collaborate and ideate their passions and interests.
Run by the Schlegel Centre for Entrepreneurship and Social Innovation, LaunchPad provides support, mentorship and resources (finance, marketing, accounting and technology) to start-ups founded by Laurier students, alumni and community members at the Waterloo and Brantford campuses. Offered across all Laurier faculties and campuses, LaunchPad encourages students, faculty, staff, alumni, and members of the community to collaborate and share venture-creation knowledge.
Start@SIVC is part of the Ontario Social Impact Voucher (OSIV) program. Eligible social entrepreneurs and social enterprises can receive a $3,000 training voucher to access OSIV programs.
Laurier's Start@SIVC program offers a combination of in-person and online modules through our Waterloo and Brantford campuses that provide targeted support for female and non-traditional learners ready to start or scale a social enterprise. The program differs from traditional entrepreneurship training by building key business skills while placing equal emphasis on the personal and professional growth of the entrepreneur so that they are best able to capitalize on opportunities and achieve success.
Neighbourhood Changemaker Program
The Neighbourhood Changemaker Program is designed to encourage individuals that live and work in the Brantford community to come together in a safe and welcoming space to brainstorm ways to make their communities better.
Maybe you have a great idea about how to help seniors stay active in the community or you want to start a program that would encourage people of different cultures to talk together in a safe and welcoming space. Perhaps you have a great idea about how to improve recycling rates, or help more young people stay in school, or help new mothers get connected. Or maybe you are just committed to helping make Brantford the best city it can be and you don't have a specific project idea just yet. The possibilities are endless.
The Community Engagement Option is a unique partnership with The Working Centre in Kitchener that provides experiential learning opportunities designed to help students explore the concepts of social inclusion, local democracy, and community enterprise.
The Social Entrepreneurship Option is the first Canadian undergraduate social entrepreneurship program grounded in the liberal arts. It was constructed with the ideal student in mind — someone who is intellectually and personally courageous, cares deeply about the world, and considers their undergraduate education to be a vital stage in their lifelong learning; and someone who wants both depth in their specialization of choice, and breadth.
Inspired by CityStudio Vancouver, Laurier is partnering with local municipalities to launch CityStudio Waterloo and CityStudio Brantford on the Waterloo and Brantford campuses. Beginning in the 2016-2017 academic year, the CityStudio pilot project will see third and fourth year students working alongside the city of Waterloo and city of Brantford staff and other stakeholders to create, design, launch and test projects in the Waterloo and Brantford communities.

There have been a lot of storms here the past week and so the pintos did not come up as often as usual. Several days ago they were here and I fed them carrots and alpha squares in the rain. Suddenly it began to hail and I was laughing and they were eating as fast as they could.
They came up again this morning in the drizzle and I fed them. Several hours later I went out to photograph them for this blog and they obliged by lining up.
Notice how big Suki is getting! He is now 6 months old.
You will notice an overturned bench in the left hand corner - this is where I feed them. They often knock the bench over after being fed or if I am not around, they are disappointed that I have not been out to give them their treats.
We hope to evenutally build a corral around this bench so we can start taking better care of them. First we have to be sure we can adopt them and then raise money to build the corral, fence the land, and have them seen by a vet.

Red Letter Day
Monday, the pintos came up for carrots and alpha squares. When I call "Thunder" they all galloped to the bench where I feed them. What a beautiful sight to see them all run. Still haven't been able to capture a great running photo yet. Suki, the colt who is now now 5 months old, is a fast and graceful runner.
What made it a very special day is that all of the pintos, except for Thunder, let me stroke their backs. Even Sweetie, who is always skitterish and shutters when touched, but this time he held still a few seconds longer. I was delighted and blown away. We will see if I am able to stroke them again at their next visit. Even so, I am amazed at how they are progressing with human contact.

European Union - Commission regulation: food chain information to be provided to food business operators operating slaughterhouses
COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1161/2009 of 30 November 2009 amending Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards food chain information to be provided to food business operators operating slaughterhouses.
In Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004, Section III, point 7 is replaced by the following:
'7. If the competent authority so permits and provided it does not jeopardise the objectives of this Regulation, food chain information may arrive less than 24 hours before the arrival of the animals of all species to which it relates at the slaughterhouse or accompany these animals to the slaughterhouse.
However, any item of food chain information, knowledge of which may result in serious disruption of the slaughterhouse activity, is to be made available to the food business operator operating the slaughterhouse in sufficient time before the animals arrive at the slaughterhouse, in order for that food business operator to plan the slaughterhouse activity accordingly.
The food business operator operating the slaughterhouse must evaluate the relevant information and must submit the food chain information received to the official veterinarian. The slaughter or dressing of the animals may not take place until the official veterinarian so permits.

Suki na Hito ga Iru Koto Episode 4 Recap
Recap – Summary : The Shibasaki brothers go fishing and Touma asks Chiaki about Misaki.
Chiaki admits that he's thinking about her in a sincere way as Kanata listens to his words remaining silent.
Later, Touma drops by the surf shop where Mikako tells him that Kanata took Misaki to see the sunset with Nobirin's boat something that surprises Touma.
Kaede pays a visit to the Sea Sons restaurant, and tells Misaki that she will fight for Chiaki and on her way back, she meets Kanata, who warns her to stay away from his brother, as he knows what she did the two years she was absent. At the same time, Chiaki meets an old acquaintance who has some surprising news about Kaede.
Misaki's friend encourages her to invite Chiaki in the upcoming fireworks festival as she believes that would be the ideal date, but Misaki is unsure how to do that and ends up fumbling at her words.
Nobirin announces that it's time for the annual BBQ and invites everyone from the Shibasaki household to help him and have fun together.
The next day, on their way to the BBQ place, Misaki ends up with Kanata in the same car and asks him if he likes fireworks. He tells her he's not interested in that kind of stuff and he dislikes big crowds, and she wonders if Chiaki would have the same reaction as his brother.
In the BBQ spot, everyone's assigned to a task, and Misaki ends up helping Kanata who seems to be in a bickering mood, but she is soon asked by Chiaki to help him fish. While fishing, Misaki makes another failed attempt to ask him out to watch the fireworks while Kaede arrives, after Nobirin invites her.
Touma argues with Fuka, who thinks that he's slacking off in school compared to how he started, and Touma replies that he only needs her to be pretty and not talk, something that infuriates her as she slaps him and walks away.
Chiaki tells Kaede that he knows she never studied abroad, and instead she was working in a bar in Roppongi in the two years she was supposed to be abroad; Kaede explains she had a good reason to lie to him but Chiaki insists that the fact she lied to him is more than enough. Before Chiaki leaves, Kaede asks him if he likes Misaki and Chiaki replies that he values her as an important member of the restaurant. Misaki overhears that conversation, and seems dejected for the rest of the day, something Kanata notices.
Back home, Misaki talks with her friend and tells her that despite having no chance with Chiaki, she decided to stay and help him with Sea Sons even after the summer, as Chiaki needing her there is already enough for her; she later informs Chiaki on her decision who's happy to hear she will stay there some more.
The next day, Misaki is testing a new dessert that's called "hidden emotions" and explains to Kanata her inspiration behind it, who seems to get where she's coming from.
Chiaki meets the man who wants to take over Sea Sons and is refusing his offer yet again, but the man is blackmailing him with a family registry that reveals a secret concerning the Shibasaki family.
Meanwhile, Touma meets Manami who asks him about his brothers, and later reveals to him that he's looking for her own lost brother, Takumi.
Chiaki returns to the restaurant after the meeting and finds Misaki still working on new desserts; he asks her to join him for a drink and he tastes her latest dessert. Chiaki comments how he wouldn't expect Misaki to have things she can't say out loud, and seems like everyone is having trouble expressing themselves nowadays. Misaki whispers she wants to go see the fireworks, but before she's able to back on that, Chiaki invites her to go see them if she wants to.
Misaki is happy, and later reveals to Kanata that she finally told Chiaki about the fireworks festival, while Kanata seems disinterested; Misaki jokingly remarks that it looks like he's jealous and as she's ready to leave, Kanata surprises her, telling her not to go to the festival.
Reflection Corner :
Alright, let me count the times Kanata looked broody-melancholic-grumpy, every time Misaki was crushing on Chiaki.
I mean come on Kanata, you are almost as bad as Misaki is, with her own feelings! You guys are KILLING ME.
Well, at least Misaki did (indirectly but still) take a step forward, even if it took like, a dozen failed attempts to get there. I can see why she likes Chiaki, since he is polite, gentle, calm-mannered and he's treating her well; but is she in love with him, or is it the ~summer-effect~ everyone has been yapping about (I expect Grease's "Summer Nights" to pop up at some point!) and she's thinking more with her brain, rather than her heart? It's still a bit confusing, and the same applies to Chiaki's feelings towards her.
On the other hand, Kanata has got it bad; he's struggling to recognize what his newfound feelings truly are, and there's also the fact he can't get his head clear to identify what's happening to him, as he's always around Misaki and Chiaki and that drives him crazy without really knowing what that is! (psshhh that is being in love pal! :p)
He's not really the type to hide his thoughts (heck, he has acted rudely many a times because of that!) so his "Don't go to the festival!" to Misaki made sense, but until he realizes that he has feelings for her, it's gonna take a while until he fully admits to it. (I bet when Misaki asks him why he told her that, he might actually reply "I don't know myself" lol)
We got half-revelations this episode too, implying that Chiaki is not a biological brother of Kanata and Touma; most likely, he's Manami's real brother, but is he aware of it? He has the same picture as Manami does, so what is the "dirt" around that whole situation, that he had to give up his restaurant to that dog-fetish-guy?
Kaede was also revealed to have never studied abroad but she has been staying in Tokyo for those two years, working into bars or something like that, it wasn't very clear. (Tachibana Kara feels again though, hahaha) The point is, she lied to Chiaki and I suppose that's an official deal breaker between them, unless there was a very good reason for it. Guess we will see.
Onwards to episode 5 then!
eta- oh wait, there was one more, loool.

I'm so glad to see someone recapping this drama. Thank you so much! It's been a while since the last time i watch jdrama. I saw someone post about this drama at tumblr and i decided to binge watching this drama last week. The story is light and breezy. It's easy to watch and perfect for summer season.
I didnt recognized any of the actor lol.
Chiaki remind me of ikuta toma. Maybe because of his hairstyle. Kanata remind me of young song jong ki and his character is such a tsundere. The "dont go to festival" part totally remind me of junghwan hah.
the set up of the drama remind me of old jdrama lunch no jou. A girl working at a restaurant run by brothers. I hope there will be more stories about the youngest bro..and more food porn. Yeah!
Glad to find recap on this drama! J-Drama recaps are hard to find! ^_^ Arigato Kipzizz!

Bloomberg reports that since Microsoft introduced the price drop to its Xbox 360 console range, sales have doubled compared to that of last weekend. Not only for the Arcade console which now retails at $199.00, but for the Pro and Elite consoles as well.
When we previously speculated that the price drop would boost sales, many stated that the price point is not important enough to make a significant difference to consumers purchasing decision.
Well the numbers are clearly stating the opposite, with the sales boost being more than significant and also putting a Microsoft console at a lower price point that the Nintendo Wii for the first time.
Is the PS3 in trouble?
While the Nintendo Wii is still the definite leader in the console wars and ahead by miles, the fight for second place as the best selling HD console still continues between the PS3 and the Xbox 360.
If the boost brought about by the price drop continues into the Christmas season, Microsoft can look forward to a whole lot of sales. At the same time the PS3 has been outselling the Xbox 360 for a couple of months now and its lineup is looking incredibly appealing to say the least, not to mention all the families who may be interested in a new Blu-Ray player for the house.
The upcoming season is going to be a real fight to the death as the two console manufacturers go head to head for market supremacy.

World champion Jenson Button has won his first Grand Prix for McLaren in Australia.
When asked about the victory, which comes in his second race after joining McLaren, Button said: "I thought it would take longer than this. A lot depends on what sort of car you come out of the box with."
Button's win at Albert Park has renewed excitement among the F1 fans who were unhappy after the uninspiring season-opener in Bahrain.
A spell of rain shortly before the start of the race, which forced teams to change to intermediate tyres, is said to have made the event dramatic.
Just seconds after the race began, Fernando Alonso hit Michael Schumacher's Mercedes and was out of the race, while Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel comfortably held on to first place.
At the end of lap five, a collision between BMW Sauber's Kamui Kobayashi and Williams' Nico Hulkenberg took the safety car out, enabling Button to enter the pits first.
Button's decision early in the race to switch to slicks proved to be inspirational as he managed to get into second place before Vettel suffered brake failure to bring an end to his race.
With Vettel's withdrawal, Button won the race for the second successive year in Melbourne.
