ipsec.conf - IPsec configuration and connections
The optional ipsec.conf file specifies most configuration and control
information for the Openswan IPsec subsystem. (The major exception is
secrets for authentication; see ipsec.secrets(5).) Its contents are not
security-sensitive unless manual keying is being done for more than
just testing, in which case the encryption/authentication keys in the
descriptions for the manually-keyed connections are very sensitive (and
those connection descriptions are probably best kept in a separate
file, via the include facility described below).
The file is a text file, consisting of one or more sections. White
space followed by # followed by anything to the end of the line is a
comment and is ignored, as are empty lines which are not within a sec-
A line which contains include and a file name, separated by white
space, is replaced by the contents of that file, preceded and followed
by empty lines. If the file name is not a full pathname, it is consid-
ered to be relative to the directory containing the including file.
Such inclusions can be nested. Only a single filename may be supplied,
and it may not contain white space, but it may include shell wildcards
(see sh(1)); for example:
include ipsec.*.conf
The intention of the include facility is mostly to permit keeping
information on connections, or sets of connections, separate from the
main configuration file. This permits such connection descriptions to
be changed, copied to the other security gateways involved, etc., with-
out having to constantly extract them from the configuration file and
then insert them back into it. Note also the also and alsoflip parame-
ters (described below) which permit splitting a single logical section
(e.g. a connection description) into several actual sections.
The first significant line of the file must specify the version of this
specification that it conforms to:
version 2
A section begins with a line of the form:
type name
where type indicates what type of section follows, and name is an arbi-
trary name which distinguishes the section from others of the same
type. (Names must start with a letter and may contain only letters,
digits, periods, underscores, and hyphens.) All subsequent non-empty
lines which begin with white space are part of the section; comments
within a section must begin with white space too. There may be only one
section of a given type with a given name.
Lines within the section are generally of the form
(note the mandatory preceding white space). There can be white space on
either side of the =. Parameter names follow the same syntax as section
names, and are specific to a section type. Unless otherwise explicitly
specified, no parameter name may appear more than once in a section.
An empty value stands for the system default value (if any) of the
parameter, i.e. it is roughly equivalent to omitting the parameter line
entirely. A value may contain white space only if the entire value is
enclosed in double quotes ("); a value cannot itself contain a double
quote, nor may it be continued across more than one line.
Numeric values are specified to be either an integer (a sequence of
digits) or a decimal number (sequence of digits optionally followed by
`.' and another sequence of digits).
There is currently one parameter which is available in any type of sec-
also the value is a section name; the parameters of that section are
appended to this section, as if they had been written as part of
it. The specified section must exist, must follow the current
one, and must have the same section type. (Nesting is permitted,
and there may be more than one also in a single section,
although it is forbidden to append the same section more than
once.) This allows, for example, keeping the encryption keys for
a connection in a separate file from the rest of the descrip-
tion, by using both an also parameter and an include line. (Cau-
tion, see BUGS below for some restrictions.)
can be used in a conn section. It acts like an also that flips
the referenced section's entries left-for-right.
Parameter names beginning with x- (or X-, or x_, or X_) are reserved
for user extensions and will never be assigned meanings by IPsec.
Parameters with such names must still observe the syntax rules (limits
on characters used in the name; no white space in a non-quoted value;
no newlines or double quotes within the value). All other as-yet-unused
parameter names are reserved for future IPsec improvements.
A section with name %default specifies defaults for sections of the
same type. For each parameter in it, any section of that type which
does not have a parameter of the same name gets a copy of the one from
the %default section. There may be multiple %default sections of a
given type, but only one default may be supplied for any specific
parameter name, and all %default sections of a given type must precede
all non-%default sections of that type. %default sections may not con-
tain also or alsoflip parameters.
Currently there are two types of section: a config section specifies
general configuration information for IPsec, while a conn section spec-
ifies an IPsec connection.
A conn section contains a connection specification, defining a network
connection to be made using IPsec. The name given is arbitrary, and is
used to identify the connection to ipsec_auto(8) and ipsec_manual(8).
Here's a simple example:
conn snt
A note on terminology... In automatic keying, there are two kinds of
communications going on: transmission of user IP packets, and gate-
way-to-gateway negotiations for keying, rekeying, and general control.
The data path (a set of IPsec SAs) used for user packets is herein
referred to as the connection; the path used for negotiations (built
with ISAKMP SAs) is referred to as the keying channel.
To avoid trivial editing of the configuration file to suit it to each
system involved in a connection, connection specifications are written
in terms of left and right participants, rather than in terms of local
and remote. Which participant is considered left or right is arbitrary;
IPsec figures out which one it is being run on based on internal infor-
mation. This permits using identical connection specifications on both
ends. There are cases where there is no symmetry; a good convention is
to use left for the local side and right for the remote side (the first
letters are a good mnemonic).
Many of the parameters relate to one participant or the other; only the
ones for left are listed here, but every parameter whose name begins
with left has a right counterpart, whose description is the same but
with left and right reversed.
Parameters are optional unless marked (required); a parameter required
for manual keying need not be included for a connection which will use
only automatic keying, and vice versa.
The following parameters are relevant to both automatic and manual key-
ing. Unless otherwise noted, for a connection to work, in general it is
necessary for the two ends to agree exactly on the values of these
type the type of the connection; currently the accepted values are
tunnel (the default) signifying a host-to-host, host-to-subnet,
or subnet-to-subnet tunnel; transport, signifying host-to-host
transport mode; passthrough, signifying that no IPsec processing
should be done at all; drop, signifying that packets should be
discarded; and reject, signifying that packets should be dis-
carded and a diagnostic ICMP returned.
left (required) the IP address of the left participant's public-net-
work interface, in any form accepted by ipsec_ttoaddr(3) or one
of several magic values. If it is %defaultroute, and the config
setup section's, interfaces specification contains %default-
route, left will be filled in automatically with the local
address of the default-route interface (as determined at IPsec
startup time); this also overrides any value supplied for left-
nexthop. (Either left or right may be %defaultroute, but not
both.) The value %any signifies an address to be filled in (by
automatic keying) during negotiation. The value %opportunistic
signifies that both left and leftnexthop are to be filled in (by
automatic keying) from DNS data for left's client. The values
%group and %opportunisticgroup makes this a policy group conn:
one that will be instantiated into a regular or opportunistic
conn for each CIDR block listed in the policy group file with
the same name as the conn.
private subnet behind the left participant, expressed as net-
work/netmask (actually, any form acceptable to ipsec_ttosub-
net(3)); if omitted, essentially assumed to be left/32, signify-
ing that the left end of the connection goes to the left partic-
ipant only. If the global option virtual_private has been set,
the special keyword vhost:%priv can be used to designate the
allowed NAT'ed networks this option can take. If one wants to
support both the allowed virtual_private networks as well as
non-NAT'ed connection, this subnet option can be set to right-
subnet=vhost:%priv, %no. The special value %priv will be filled
in with the network ranges specified in the global option vir-
allowed protocols and ports over connection, also called Port
Selectors. The argument is in the form protocol, which can be a
number or a name that will be looked up in /etc/protocols, such
as leftprotoport=icmp, or in the form of protocol/port, such as
tcp/smtp. Ports can be defined as a number (eg. 25) or as a name
(eg smtp) which will be looked up in /etc/services. A special
keyword %any can be used to allow all ports of a certain proto-
col. The most common use of this option is for L2TP connections
to only allow l2tp packets (UDP port 1701), eg: leftproto-
port=17/1701. Some clients, notably older Windows XP and some
Mac OSX clients, use a random high port as source port. In those
cases rightprotoport=17/%any can be used to allow all UDP traf-
fic on the connection. Note that this option is part of the pro-
posal, so it cannot be arbitrarily left out if one end does not
care about the traffic selection over this connection - both
peers have to agree. The Port Selectors show up in the output of
ipsec eroute and ipsec auto --status eg:"l2tp":
220.127.116.11[@aivd.xelernace.com]:7/1701...%any:17/1701 This
option only filters outbound traffic. Inbound traffic selection
must still be based on firewall rules activated by an updown
script. The variablees $PLUTO_MY_PROTOCOL, $PLUTO_PEER_PROTOCOL,
$PLUTO_MY_PORT, and $PLUTO_PEER_PORT are available for use in
updown scripts. Older workarounds for bugs involved a setting of
17/0 to denote all ports were allowed. This notation should no
longer be used.
next-hop gateway IP address for the left participant's connec-
tion to the public network; defaults to %direct (meaning right).
If the value is to be overridden by the left=%defaultroute
method (see above), an explicit value must not be given. If that
method is not being used, but leftnexthop is %defaultroute, and
interfaces=%defaultroute is used in the config setup section,
the next-hop gateway address of the default-route interface will
be used. The magic value %direct signifies a value to be filled
in (by automatic keying) with the peer's address. Relevant only
locally, other end need not agree on it.
the IP address for this host to use when transmitting a packet
to the other side of this link. Relevant only locally, the other
end need not agree. This option is used to make the gateway
itself use its internal IP, which is part of the leftsubnet, to
communicate to the rightsubnet or right. Otherwise, it will use
its nearest IP address, which is its public IP address. This
option is mostly used when defining subnet-subnet connections,
so that the gateways can talk to each other and the subnet at
the other end, without the need to build additional host-subnet,
subnet-host and host-host tunnels.
what updown script to run to adjust routing and/or firewalling
when the status of the connection changes (default ipsec
_updown). May include positional parameters separated by white
space (although this requires enclosing the whole string in
quotes); including shell metacharacters is unwise. See
ipsec_pluto(8) for details. Relevant only locally, other end
need not agree on it.
This option is obsolete and should not used anymore.
The following parameters are relevant for automatic keying, the normal
mode of operation for IPsec. They are ignored in manual keying. Unless
otherwise noted, for a connection to work, in general it is necessary
for the two ends to agree exactly on the values of these parameters.
method of key exchange; the default and currently the only
accepted value is ike
auto what operation, if any, should be done automatically at IPsec
startup; currently-accepted values are add (signifying an ipsec
auto --add), route (signifying that plus an ipsec auto
--route), start (signifying that plus an ipsec auto --up), man-
ual (signifying an ipsec manual --up), and ignore (also the
default) (signifying no automatic startup operation). See the
config setup discussion below. Relevant only locally, other end
need not agree on it (but in general, for an intended-to-be-per-
manent connection, both ends should use auto=start to ensure
that any reboot causes immediate renegotiation). For roadwarrior
connections (right=%any), it is not known where the client will
show up, so one has to use auto=add
auth whether authentication should be done as part of ESP encryption,
or separately using the AH protocol; acceptable values are esp
(the default) and ah.
authby how the two security gateways should authenticate each other;
acceptable values are secret for shared secrets, rsasig for RSA
digital signatures (the default), secret|rsasig for either, and
never if negotiation is never to be attempted or accepted (use-
ful for shunt-only conns). Digital signatures are superior in
every way to shared secrets.
ike IKE encryption/authentication algorithm to be used for the con-
nection (phase 1 aka ISAKMP SA). The format is
"cipher-hash-modpgroup, cipher-hash-modpgroup, ..." Any left out
option will be filled in with all allowed default options. Mul-
tiple proposals are seperated by a comma. If an ike= line is
specified, no other received proposals will be accepted. For-
merly there was a distinction (by using a "!" symbol) between
"strict mode" or not. That mode has been obsoleted. If an ike=
option is specified, the mode is always strict, meaning no other
received proposals will be accepted. Some examples are
ike=3des-sha1,aes-sha1, ike=aes, ike=aes128-md5-modp2048,
ike=3des-md5-modp1024,esp=aes-sha1-modp1536 or ike=modp1536. The
options must be suitable as a value of ipsec_spi(8)'s --ike
option. The default is to use IKE, and to allow all combinations
cipher: 3des or aes
hash: sha1 or md5
pfsgroup (DHgroup): modp1024 or modp1536
If Openswan was compiled with extra INSECURE and BROKEN options,
then the des (1des) and null cipher, as well as modp768 are
available. This turns your VPN into a joke. Do not enable these
esp ESP encryption/authentication algorithm to be used for the con-
nection (phase2 aka IPsec SA). The format is identical to the
ike option listed above. The options must be suitable as a value
of ipsec_spi(8)'s --esp option. The default is to use ESP. The
default values are the same as for ike= Note also that not all
ciphers available to the kernel (eg through CryptoAPI) are nec-
essarilly supported here.
ah AH authentication algorithm to be used for the connection, e.g
here. hmac-md5 The options must be suitable as a value of
ipsec_spi(8)'s --ah option. The default is not to use AH. If for
some (invalid) reason you still think you need AH, please use
esp with the null encryption cipher instead. Note also that not
all ciphers available to the kernel (eg through CryptoAPI) are
necessarilly supported here.
leftid how the left participant should be identified for authentica-
tion; defaults to left. Can be an IP address (in any
ipsec_ttoaddr(3) syntax) or a fully-qualified domain name pre-
ceded by @ (which is used as a literal string and not resolved).
The magic value %myid stands for the current setting of myid.
the left participant's public key for RSA signature authentica-
tion, in RFC 2537 format using ipsec_ttodata(3) encoding. The
magic value %none means the same as not specifying a value (use-
ful to override a default). The value %dnsondemand (the default)
means the key is to be fetched from DNS at the time it is
needed. The value %dnsonload means the key is to be fetched from
DNS at the time the connection description is read from
ipsec.conf; currently this will be treated as %none if
right=%any or right=%opportunistic. The value %dns is currently
treated as %dnsonload but will change to %dnsondemand in the
future. The identity used for the left participant must be a
specific host, not %any or another magic value. The value %cert
will load the information required from a certificate defined in
%leftcert and automatically define leftid for you. Caution: if
two connection descriptions specify different public keys for
the same leftid, confusion and madness will ensue.
if present, a second public key. Either key can authenticate the
signature, allowing for key rollover.
If you are using leftrsasigkey=%cert this defines the certifi-
cate you would like to use. It should point to a X.509 encoded
certificate file. If you do not specify a full pathname, by
default it will look in /etc/ipsec.d/certs. If openswan has been
compiled with USE_SMARTCARD=true, then this option can also be
set to leftcert=%smartcard. If multiple smartcards or USB tokens
are present, they can be specified using leftcert=%smart-
card<reader nr><PKCS#15 key id>
This option configures when Openswan will send X.509 certifi-
cates to the remote host. Acceptable values are yes|always (sig-
nifying that we should always send a certificate), ifasked (sig-
nifying that we should send a certificate if the remote end asks
for it), and no|never (signifying that we will never send a
X.509 certificate). The default for this option is ifasked which
may break compatibility with other vendor's IPSec implementa-
tions, such as Cisco and SafeNet. If you find that you are get-
ting errors about no ID/Key found, you likely need to set this
to always. This per-conn option replaces the obsolete global
nocrsend option.
leftca specifies the authorized Certificate Agency (CA) that signed the
certificate of the peer. If undefined, it defaults to the CA
that signed the certificate specified in leftcert. The special
rightca=%same is implied when not specifying a rightca and means
that only peers with certificates signed by the same CA as the
leftca will be allowed. This option is only useful in complex
multi CA certificate situations. When using a single CA, it can
be safely omitted for left and right.
Left is an XAUTH server. This can use PAM for authentication or
md5 passwords in /etc/ipsec.d/passwd. These are additional cre-
dentials to verify the user identity, and should not be confused
with the XAUTH group secret, which is just a regular PSK defined
in ipsec.secrets. The other side of the connection should be
configured as rightxauthclient. XAUTH connections cannot rekey,
so rekey=no should be specified in this conn. For further
details on how to compile and use XAUTH, see README.XAUTH.
Acceptable values are yes or no (the default).
Left is an XAUTH client. The xauth connection will have to be
started interactively and cannot be configured using auto=start.
Instead, it has to be started from the commandline using ipsec
auto --up connname. You will then be prompted for the username
and password. To setup an XAUTH connection non-interactively,
which defeats the whole purpose of XAUTH, but is regularly
requested by users, it is possible to use a whack command -
ipsec whack --name baduser --ipsecgroup-xauth --xauthname
badusername --xauthpass password --initiate The other side of
the connection should be configured as rightxauthserver. Accept-
able values are yes or no (the default).
Left is a Mode Config server. It can push network configuration
to the client. Acceptable values are yes or no (the default).
Left is a Mode Config client. It can receive network configura-
tion from the server. Acceptable values are yes or no (the
In some cases, for example when ESP packets are filtered or when
a broken IPsec peer does not properly recognise NAT, it can be
useful to force RFC-3948 encapsulation. forceencaps=yes forces
the NAT detection code to lie and tell the remote peer that
RFC-3948 encapsulation (ESP in UDP port 4500 packets) is
required. For this option to have any effect, the setup section
option nat_traversal=yes needs to be set. Acceptable values are
yes or no (the default).
Set the delay (in seconds) between Dead Peer Dectection (RFC
3706) keepalives (R_U_THERE, R_U_THERE_ACK) that are sent for
this connection (default 30 seconds). If dpdtimeout is set, but
not dpddelay, dpddelay will be set to the default.
Set the length of time (in seconds) we will idle without hearing
either an R_U_THERE poll from our peer, or an R_U_THERE_ACK
reply. After this period has elapsed with no response and no
traffic, we will declare the peer dead, and remove the SA
(default 120 seconds). If dpddelay is set, but not dpdtimeout,
dpdtimeout will be set to the default.
When a DPD enabled peer is declared dead, what action should be
taken. hold (default) means the eroute will be put into %hold
status, while clear means the eroute and SA with both be
cleared. dpdaction=clear is really only usefull on the server of
a Road Warrior config. The action restart is used on tunnels
that need to be permanently up, and have static IP addresses.
Pull the Mode Config network information from the server.
Acceptable values are yes or no (the default).
pfs whether Perfect Forward Secrecy of keys is desired on the con-
nection's keying channel (with PFS, penetration of the
key-exchange protocol does not compromise keys negotiated ear-
lier); Since there is no reason to ever refuse PFS, Openswan
will allow a connection defined with pfs=no to use PFS anyway.
Acceptable values are yes (the default) and no.
PFS group to be used if pfs=yes, e.g. pfsgroup=modp1536 Because
PFS group is not negotiated it is single valued and must be pre-
viously coordinated with peer. Possible values are: modp1024,
modp1536, modp2048, modp3072 and modp4096. If not specified, it
will use same DH group of phase1. Default value is the same
value as Phase1's DH group.
Use Aggressive Mode instead of Main Mode. Aggressive Mode is
less secure, and vulnerable to Denial Of Service attacks. It is
also vulnerable to brute force attacks with software such as
ikecrack. It should not be used, and it should especially not be
used with XAUTH and group secrets (PSK). If the remote system
administrator insists on staying irresponsible, enable this
Aggressive Mode is further limited to only one proposal - there
is no room for negotation. Therefor it is mandatory for Aggres-
sive Mode connections that both ike= and esp= options are speci-
fied with exactly one fully specified proposal. Acceptable val-
ues are yes or no (the default).
how long a particular instance of a connection (a set of encryp-
tion/authentication keys for user packets) should last, from
successful negotiation to expiry; acceptable values are an inte-
ger optionally followed by s (a time in seconds) or a decimal
number followed by m, h, or d (a time in minutes, hours, or days
respectively) (default 8h, maximum 24h). Normally, the connec-
tion is renegotiated (via the keying channel) before it expires.
The two ends need not exactly agree on keylife, although if they
do not, there will be some clutter of superseded connections on
the end which thinks the lifetime is longer.
rekey whether a connection should be renegotiated when it is about to
expire; acceptable values are yes (the default) and no. The two
ends need not agree, but while a value of no prevents Pluto from
requesting renegotiation, it does not prevent responding to
renegotiation requested from the other end, so no will be
largely ineffective unless both ends agree on it.
how long before connection expiry or keying-channel expiry
should attempts to negotiate a replacement begin; acceptable
values as for keylife (default 9m). Relevant only locally, other
end need not agree on it.
maximum percentage by which rekeymargin should be randomly
increased to randomize rekeying intervals (important for hosts
with many connections); acceptable values are an integer, which
may exceed 100, followed by a `%' (default set by
ipsec_pluto(8), currently 100%). The value of rekeymargin, after
this random increase, must not exceed keylife. The value 0% will
suppress time randomization. Relevant only locally, other end
need not agree on it.
how many attempts (a whole number or %forever) should be made to
negotiate a connection, or a replacement for one, before giving
up (default %forever). The value %forever means never give up
(obsolete: this can be written 0). Relevant only locally, other
end need not agree on it.
how long the keying channel of a connection (buzzphrase: ISAKMP
SA) should last before being renegotiated; acceptable values as
for keylife (default set by ipsec_pluto(8), currently 1h, maxi-
mum 24h). The two-ends-disagree case is similar to that of
whether IPComp compression of content is proposed on the connec-
tion (link-level compression does not work on encrypted data, so
to be effective, compression must be done before encryption);
acceptable values are yes and no (the default). The two ends
need not agree. A value of yes causes IPsec to propose both com-
pressed and uncompressed, and prefer compressed. A value of no
prevents IPsec from proposing compression; a proposal to com-
press will still be accepted.
whether KLIPS's normal tunnel-exit check (that a packet emerging
from a tunnel has plausible addresses in its header) should be
disabled; acceptable values are yes and no (the default). Tun-
nel-exit checks improve security and do not break any normal
configuration. Relevant only locally, other end need not agree
on it.
what to do with packets when negotiation fails. The default is
none: no shunt; passthrough, drop, and reject have the obvious
The following parameters are relevant only to manual keying, and are
ignored in automatic keying. It is EXTREMELY UNLIKELY that you will
actually want to use manual keying. It is much harder to configure then
automatic keying, and inheritently insecure when used for a prolonged
time (eg production) due to the complete lack of key renewal, session
keys or perfect forward secrecy.
Unless otherwise noted, for a connection to work, in general it is nec-
essary for the two ends to agree exactly on the values of these parame-
ters. A manually-keyed connection must specify at least one of AH or
spi (this or spibase required for manual keying) the SPI number to
be used for the connection (see ipsec_manual(8)); must be of the
form 0xhex, where hex is one or more hexadecimal digits (note,
it will generally be necessary to make spi at least 0x100 to be
acceptable to KLIPS, and use of SPIs in the range 0x100-0xfff is
(this or spi required for manual keying) the base number for the
SPIs to be used for the connection (see ipsec_manual(8)); must
be of the form 0xhex0, where hex is one or more hexadecimal dig-
its (note, it will generally be necessary to make spibase at
least 0x100 for the resulting SPIs to be acceptable to KLIPS,
and use of numbers in the range 0x100-0xff0 is recommended)
ESP encryption key (must be suitable as a value of
ipsec_spi(8)'s --enckey option) (may be specified separately for
each direction using leftespenckey (leftward SA) and righte-
spenckey parameters)
ESP authentication key (must be suitable as a value of
ipsec_spi(8)'s --authkey option) (may be specified separately
for each direction using leftespauthkey (leftward SA) and right-
espauthkey parameters)
ESP replay-window setting, an integer from 0 (the ipsec_manual
default, which turns off replay protection) to 64; relevant only
if ESP authentication is being used
SPI to be used for the leftward ESP SA, overriding automatic
assignment using spi or spibase; typically a hexadecimal number
beginning with 0x
ahkey (required if ah is present) AH authentication key (must be suit-
able as a value of ipsec_spi(8)'s --authkey option) (may be
specified separately for each direction using leftahkey (left-
ward SA) and rightahkey parameters)
AH replay-window setting, an integer from 0 (the ipsec_manual
default, which turns off replay protection) to 64
SPI to be used for the leftward AH SA, overriding automatic
assignment using spi or spibase; typically a hexadecimal number
beginning with 0x
At present, the only config section known to the IPsec software is the
one named setup, which contains information used when the software is
being started (see ipsec_setup(8)). Here's an example:
config setup
interfaces="ipsec0=eth1 ipsec1=ppp0"
Parameters are optional unless marked (required).
The currently-accepted parameter names in a config setup section are:
myid the identity to be used for %myid. %myid is used in the implicit
policy group conns and can be used as an identity in explicit
conns. If unspecified, %myid is set to the IP address in
%defaultroute (if that is supported by a TXT record in its
reverse domain), or otherwise the system's hostname (if that is
supported by a TXT record in its forward domain), or otherwise
it is undefined. An explicit value generally starts with ``@''.
This option is for KLIPS and KLIPSNG (mast) only and will be
ignored when using NETKEY, Windows or BSD stacks. It specifies
the virtual and physical interfaces for IPsec to use: a single
virtual=physical pair, a (quoted!) list of pairs separated by
white space, or %none. One of the pairs may be written as
%defaultroute, which means: find the interface d that the
default route points to, and then act as if the value was
``ipsec0=d''. %defaultroute is the default; %none must be used
to denote no interfaces. If %defaultroute is used (implicitly or
explicitly) information about the default route and its inter-
face is noted for use by ipsec_manual(8) and ipsec_auto(8).)
whether to accept/offer to support NAT (NAPT, also known as "IP
Masqurade") workaround for IPsec. Acceptable values are: yes and
no (the default). This parameter may eventually become per-con-
contains the networks that are allowed as subnet= for the remote
client. In other words, the address ranges that may live behind
a NAT router through which a client connects. This value is usu-
ally set to all the RFC-1918 address space, excluding the space
used in the local subnet behind the NAT (An IP address cannot
live at two places at once). IPv4 address ranges are denoted as
%v4:a.b.c.d/mm and IPv6 is denoted as

This parameter is only needed on the server side and not on the
client side that resides behind the NAT router, as the client
will just use its IP address for the inner IP setting. This
parameter may eventually become per-connection.
how many pluto helpers are started to help with cryptographic
operations. Pluto will start (n-1) of them, where n is the num-
ber of CPU's you have (including hypherthreaded CPU's). A value
of 0 forces pluto to do all operations in the main process. A
value of -1 tells pluto to perform the above calculation. Any
other value forces the number to that amount.
myid the identity to be used for %myid. %myid is used in the implicit
policy group conns and can be used as an identity in explicit
conns. If unspecified, %myid is set to the IP address in

reverse domain), or otherwise the system's hostname (if that is
supported by a TXT record in its forward domain), or otherwise
it is undefined. An explicit value generally starts with ``@''.
interval, specified in seconds, after which pluto will verify
loaded X.509 CRL's for expiration. If any of the CRL's is
expired, or if they previously failed to get updated, a new
attempt at updating the CRL is made. The first attempt to update
a CRL is started at two times the crlcheckinterval. If set to 0,
which is also the default value if this option is not specified,
CRL updating is disabled.
if not set, pluto is tolerant about missing or expired X.509
Certificate Revocation Lists (CRL's), and will allow peer cer-
tificates as long as they do not appear on an expired CRL. When
this option is enabled, all connections with an expired or miss-
ing CRL will be denied. Active connections will be terminated at
rekey time. This setup is more secure, but also dangerous. If
the CRL is fetched through an IPsec tunnel with a CRL that
expired, the entire VPN server will be dead in the water until a
new CRL is manually transferred to the machine (if it allows
non-IPsec connections). Acceptable values are yes or no (the
whether setup should turn IP forwarding on (if it's not already
on) as IPsec is started, and turn it off again (if it was off)
as IPsec is stopped; acceptable values are yes and (the default)
no. For this to have full effect, forwarding must be disabled
before the hardware interfaces are brought up (e.g.,
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0 in /etc/sysctl.conf), because IPsec
doesn't get control early enough to do that. If this option is
not specified, and subnet-subnet tunnels are configured, then IP
forwarding should be enabled by the system administrator.
whether and how setup should adjust the reverse path filtering
mechanism for the physical devices to be used. Values are
%unchanged (to leave it alone) or 0, 1, 2 (values to set it to).
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/PHYS/rp_filter is badly documented; it
must be 0 in many cases for ipsec to function. The default value
for the parameter is 0, that is, to disable rp_filter for all
interfaces used.
syslog the syslog(2) facility name and priority to use for
startup/shutdown log messages, default daemon.error.
how much KLIPS debugging output should be logged. An empty
value, or the magic value none, means no debugging output (the
default). The magic value all means full output. Otherwise only
the specified types of output (a quoted list, names separated by
white space) are enabled; for details on available debugging
types, see ipsec_klipsdebug(8). This KLIPS option has no effect
on NETKEY, Windows or BSD stacks.
how much Pluto debugging output should be logged. An empty
value, or the magic value none, means no debugging output (the
default). The magic value all means full output. Otherwise only
the specified types of output (a quoted list, names without the
--debug- prefix, separated by white space) are enabled; for
details on available debugging types, see ipsec_pluto(8).

should only be used when a post-mortem of a core file is
desired. It prevents pluto from restarting and possibly over-
writing an older core file.

to the argument file.
in what directory should things started by setup (notably the
Pluto daemon) be allowed to dump core? The empty value (the
default) means they are not allowed to.

yes or no (the default).
shell command to run before starting Pluto (e.g., to decrypt an
encrypted copy of the ipsec.secrets file). It's run in a very
simple way; complexities like I/O redirection are best hidden
within a script. Any output is redirected for logging, so run-
ning interactive commands is difficult unless they use /dev/tty
or equivalent for their interaction. Default is none.
shell command to run after starting Pluto (e.g., to remove a
decrypted copy of the ipsec.secrets file). It's run in a very
simple way; complexities like I/O redirection are best hidden
within a script. Any output is redirected for logging, so run-
ning interactive commands is difficult unless they use /dev/tty
or equivalent for their interaction. Default is none.
whether a tunnel's need to fragment a packet should be reported
back with an ICMP message, in an attempt to make the sender
lower his PMTU estimate; acceptable values are yes (the default)
and no. This KLIPS option has no effect on NETKEY, Windows or
BSD stacks.
whether a tunnel packet's TOS field should be set to 0 rather
than copied from the user packet inside; acceptable values are
yes (the default) and no. This KLIPS option has no effect on
NETKEY, Windows or BSD stacks.
whether a particular participant ID should be kept unique, with
any new (automatically keyed) connection using an ID from a dif-
ferent IP address deemed to replace all old ones using that ID.
Acceptable values are yes (the default) and no. Participant IDs
normally are unique, so a new (automatically-keyed) connection
using the same ID is almost invariably intended to replace an
old one.
value that the MTU of the ipsecn interface(s) should be set to,
overriding IPsec's (large) default. This parameter is needed
only in special situations. This KLIPS option has no effect on
NETKEY, Windows or BSD stacks.
The system automatically defines several conns to implement default
policy groups. These are used to enable the establishing of Opportu-
nitic Encryption IPsec tunnels. That is, setting up IPsec tunnels with
peers you have no pre-arranged configuration with. Opportunistic
Encryption is currently only supported using the KLIPS or KLIPSNG
(mast) stack, and should not be enabled when using NETKEY, Windows or
BSD stacks.
Each can be overridden by explicitly defining a new conn with the same
name. If the new conn has auto=ignore, the definition is suppressed.
Here are the automatically supplied definitions.
conn clear
conn clear-or-private
conn private-or-clear
conn private
conn block
# default policy
conn packetdefault
These conns are not affected by anything in conn %default. They will
only work if %defaultroute works. The leftid will be the interfaces IP
address; this requires that reverse DNS records be set up properly.
The implicit conns are defined after all others. It is appropriate and
reasonable to use also=private-or-clear (for example) in any other
opportunistic conn.
The optional files under /etc/ipsec.d/policy, including
may contain policy group configuration information to supplement
ipsec.conf. Their contents are not security-sensitive.
These files are text files. Each consists of a list of CIDR blocks, one
per line. White space followed by # followed by anything to the end of
the line is a comment and is ignored, as are empty lines.
A connection in /etc/ipsec.conf which has right=%group or right=%oppor-
tunisticgroup is a policy group connection. When a policy group file of
the same name is loaded, with
ipsec auto --rereadgroups
or at system start, the connection is instantiated such that each CIDR
block serves as an instance's right value. The system treats the
resulting instances as normal connections.
For example, given a suitable connection definition private, and the
file /etc/ipsec.d/policy/private with an entry 192.0.2.3, the system
creates a connection instance private#192.0.2.3. This connection inher-
its all details from private, except that its right client is
The standard Openswan install includes several policy groups which pro-
vide a way of classifying possible peers into IPsec security classes:
private (talk encrypted only), private-or-clear (prefer encryption),
clear-or-private (respond to requests for encryption), clear and block.
Implicit policy groups apply to the local host only, and are imple-
mented by the IMPLICIT CONNECTIONS described above.
When choosing a connection to apply to an outbound packet caught with a
%trap, the system prefers the one with the most specific eroute that
includes the packet's source and destination IP addresses. Source sub-
nets are examined before destination subnets. For initiating, only
routed connections are considered. For responding, unrouted but added
connections are considered.
When choosing a connection to use to respond to a negotiation which
doesn't match an ordinary conn, an opportunistic connection may be
instantiated. Eventually, its instance will be /32 -> /32, but for ear-
lier stages of the negotiation, there will not be enough information
about the client subnets to complete the instantiation.

ual(8), ipsec_rsasigkey(8)
Designed for the FreeS/WAN project <http://www.freeswan.org:

When type or failureshunt is set to drop or reject, Openswan blocks
outbound packets using eroutes, but assumes inbound blocking is handled
by the firewall. Openswan offers firewall hooks via an updown script.
However, the default ipsec _updown provides no help in controlling a
modern firewall.
The use of %any with the protoport= option is ambiguous. Should the SA
permits any port through or should the SA negotiate any single port
through? The first is a basic conn with a wildcard. The second is a
template. The second is the current behaviour, and it's wrong for quite
a number of uses involving TCP. The keyword %one may be introduced in
the future to seperate these two cases.
Including attributes of the keying channel (authentication methods,
ikelifetime, etc.) as an attribute of a connection, rather than of a
participant pair, is dubious and incurs limitations.
Ipsec_manual is not nearly as generous about the syntax of subnets,
addresses, etc. as the usual Openswan user interfaces. Four-component
dotted-decimal must be used for all addresses. It is smart enough to
translate bit-count netmasks to dotted-decimal form.
It would be good to have a line-continuation syntax, especially for the
very long lines involved in RSA signature keys.
The ability to specify different identities, authby, and public keys
for different automatic-keyed connections between the same participants
is misleading; this doesn't work dependably because the identity of the
participants is not known early enough. This is especially awkward for
the Road Warrior case, where the remote IP address is specified as
0.0.0.0, and that is considered to be the participant for such connec-
In principle it might be necessary to control MTU on an inter-
face-by-interface basis, rather than with the single global override
that overridemtu provides.
A number of features which could be implemented in both manual and
automatic keying actually are not yet implemented for manual keying.
This is unlikely to be fixed any time soon.
If conns are to be added before DNS is available, left=FQDN, leftnex-
top=FQDN, and leftrsasigkey=%dnsonload will fail. ipsec_pluto(8) does
not actually use the public key for our side of a conn but it isn't
generally known at a add-time which side is ours (Road Warrior and
Opportunistic conns are currently exceptions).
The myid option does not affect explicit ipsec auto --add or ipsec
auto --replace commands for implicit conns.

Soy is a subtropical plant native to southeastern Asia. This member of the pea family (Fabaceae) grows from 1-5 feet tall and forms clusters of 3-5 pods that each contain 2-4 beans. Soy has been a dietary staple in Asian countries for at least 5,000 years. During the Chou dynasty in China (1134-246 B.C.), fermentation techniques were discovered that allowed soy to be prepared in more easily digestible forms such as tempeh, miso, and tamari soy sauce. Tofu was invented in 2nd Century China.
Soy was introduced to Europe in the 1700s and to the United States in the 1800s. Large-scale soybean cultivation began in the United States during World War II. Currently, Midwestern U.S. farmers produce about half of the world's supply of soybeans.
Soy and components of soy called "isoflavones" have been studied for many health conditions. Isoflavones (such as genistein) are believed to have estrogen-like effects in the body, and as a result, they are sometimes called "phytoestrogens." In laboratory studies, it is not clear if isoflavones stimulate or block the effects of estrogen or both (acting as "mixed receptor agonists/antagonists").
EvidenceDISCLAIMER: These uses have been tested in humans or animals. Safety and effectiveness have not always been proven. Some of these conditions are potentially serious, and should be evaluated by a qualified healthcare provider.
Dietary source of protein:
Soy products, such as tofu, are high in protein and are an acceptable source of dietary protein.
High cholesterol:
Numerous human studies report that adding soy protein to the diet can moderately decrease blood levels of total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein ("bad" cholesterol). Small reductions in triglycerides may also occur, while high-density lipoprotein ("good" cholesterol) does not seem to be significantly altered.
Some scientists have proposed that specific components of soybean, such as the isoflavones genistein and daidzein, may be responsible for the cholesterol-lowering properties of soy. However, this has not been clearly demonstrated in research and remains controversial. It is not known if products containing isolated soy isoflavones have the same effects as regular dietary intake of soy protein.
Dietary soy protein has not been proven to affect long-term cardiovascular outcomes, such as heart attack or stroke.
Diarrhea (acute) in infants and young children:
Numerous studies report that infants and young children (2-36 months old) with diarrhea who are fed soy formulas experience fewer daily bowel movements and fewer days of diarrhea. This research suggests that soy has benefits over other types of formula, including cow milk-based solutions. The addition of soy fiber to soy formula may increase the effectiveness. Better quality research is needed before a strong recommendation can be made.
Parents are advised to speak with qualified healthcare providers if their infants experience prolonged diarrhea, become dehydrated, develop signs of infections (such as fever), or have blood in the stool. A healthcare provider should be consulted for current breastfeeding recommendations and to suggest long-term formulas that provide enough nutrition.
Menopausal symptoms:
Overall, evidence suggests that soy products containing isoflavones may help reduce menopausal symptoms, such as hot flashes.
Breast cancer prevention:
Several large population studies have asked women about their eating habits and reported that higher soy intake (such as dietary tofu) is associated with a decreased risk of developing breast cancer. However, other research suggests that soy does not have this effect. Until better research is available, it remains unclear if dietary soy or soy isoflavone supplements increase or decrease the risk of breast cancer.
Cancer treatment:
Genistein, an isoflavone found in soy, has been found in laboratory and animal studies to have anti-cancer effects, such as blocking new blood vessel growth (anti-angiogenesis), acting as a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (a mechanism of many new cancer treatments), or causing cancer cell death (apoptosis). In contrast, genistein has also been reported toincreasethe growth of pancreas tumor cells in laboratory research.
Until reliable human research is available, it remains unclear if dietary soy or soy isoflavone supplements are beneficial, harmful, or neutral in cancer patients.
Cardiovascular disease:
Dietary soy protein has not been shown to affect long-term cardiovascular outcomes, such as heart attack or stroke. Research does suggest cholesterol-lowering effects of dietary soy, which in theory, may reduce the risk of heart problems. Soy has also been studied for blood pressure-lowering and blood sugar-reducing properties in people with type 2 diabetes, although the evidence is not definitive in these areas. Further investigation is needed before a strong recommendation can be made.
Cardiac ischemia:
Cardiac ischemia occurs when blood flow to the heart is blocked. In women with suspected cardiac ischemia, high levels of the soy isoflavone genistein have been associated with blood vessel problems. Until more research is done, it is unknown if soy plays a role in cardiac ischemia.
Cognitive function:
It is unclear if soy isoflavone supplementation in postmenopausal women can improve cognitive function. Results from studies are mixed.
Colon cancer prevention:
There is not enough scientific evidence to determine if dietary intake of soy affects the risk of developing colon cancer. Study results are mixed, and more research is needed before a recommendation can be made.
Crohn's disease:
Due to limited human research, there is not enough evidence to recommend for or against the use of soy as a way to prevent Crohn's disease. Further research is needed before a recommendation can be made.
Cyclical breast pain:
It has been theorized that the "phytoestrogens" (plant-based compounds with weak estrogen-like properties) in soy may be beneficial to premenopausal women with cyclical breast pain. However, due to limited human research, there is not enough evidence to recommend for or against the use of dietary soy protein as a therapy for this condition.
Diarrhea in adults:
Due to limited human study, there is not enough evidence to recommend for or against the use of soy-polysaccharide/fiber in the treatment of diarrhea. Further research is needed before a recommendation can be made.
Endocrine disorders (metabolic syndrome):
Soy nuts may help reduce inflammation, improve blood sugar control, and improve lipid profiles in postmenopausal women with metabolic syndrome. More research is needed in this area.
Endometrial cancer prevention:
There is not enough scientific evidence to determine if dietary intake of soy affects the risk of developing endometrial cancer.
Exercise capacity improvement (spinal cord injury patients):
Soy appears to be less effective than whey protein at improving caloric expenditure and the distance and length of time that patients with spinal cord injuries are able to walk before feeling tired. More research is needed in this area.
Gallstones (cholelithiasis):
Due to limited human research, there is not enough evidence to recommend for or against the use of soy as a therapy in cholelithiasis. Further research is needed before a strong recommendation can be made.
High blood pressure:
There is limited human research on the effects of dietary soy on blood pressure. Some research suggests that substituting soy nuts for non-soy protein may help improve blood pressure. Further research is needed before a firm recommendation can be made.
Kidney disease (chronic renal failure, nephrotic syndrome, proteinuria):
Due to limited human study, there is not enough evidence to recommend for or against the use of soy in the treatment of kidney diseases, such as nephrotic syndrome. People with kidney disease should speak with their healthcare providers about the recommended amounts of dietary protein because soy is a high-protein food.
Menstrual migraine:
A phytoestrogen combination may help prevent menstrual migraine attacks. Further research is needed before a strong recommendation can be made.
Obesity/weight reduction:
Some research suggests that soy might be as effective as skim milk and more effective than a low-calorie diet alone in reducing weight. Other research has reported conflicting results. Further research is needed before a strong recommendation can be made.
Osteoporosis, post-menopausal bone loss:
It has been theorized that "phytoestrogens in soy" (such as isoflavones) may increase bone mineral density in post-menopausal women and reduce the risk of fractures. However, more research is needed before a conclusion can be made.
Prostate cancer prevention:
Early research has tested the effects of dietary soy intake on prostate cancer development in humans, but the results have not been conclusive. Better research is needed before a recommendation can be made.
Skin aging:
It is unclear if aglycones, a form of soy isoflavone, can improve aged skin in middle-aged women when it is taken by mouth. More research is needed.
Skin damage caused by the sun:
A soy moisturizing cream may help improve signs of sun damage, including discoloration, blotchiness, dullness, fine lines, and overall texture. Because the cream contained other ingredients besides soy, more research with soy alone is needed.
Stomach cancer:
Early research suggests that intake of soy products may be associated with a reduced risk of death from stomach cancer. Further investigation is needed before a conclusion can be drawn.
Thyroid disorders:
Early research suggests that soy supplements do not affect thyroid function. More research is needed.
It has been suggested that soy may be beneficial for tuberculosis when taken with standard medications. According to early research, soy may improve the process of detoxification, have positive effects on the liver, reduce cell damage, and decrease inflammation. Therefore, soy supplements may allow patients to safely take higher doses of antimicrobial drugs that are used to treat tuberculosis.
Type 2 diabetes:
Several small studies have examined the effects of soy products on blood sugar levels in people with type 2 ("adult-onset") diabetes. Results are mixed, with some research reporting decreased blood glucose levels and other trials noting no effects. Overall, research in this area is not well designed or reported, and better information is needed.

In Simon & Garfunkel's 1968 cross-country anthem "America," Paul Simon cautioned: "be careful, his bowtie is really a camera."
Little did Simon know that 45 years later not only would the majority of Americans carry miniature cameras in their pockets, but some now wear Internet-powered glasses that capture life as it unfolds (Google Glass); wristwatches that monitor health information (smart watches); and smart clothing and e-textiles that provide meaningful data for work and play.
This wearable technology revolution is powered by the cloud.
These electronic devices are designed for both function and fashion, and they generate data that is stored and analyzed in the cloud. Users can then download these insights from the cloud anywhere and at any time, which enables them to manage their fitness goals, career ambitions, finances and personal relationships.
What's better is that these cloud-powered wearable technologies are making users feel more intelligent, self-confident and in control of their lives, according to a new Rackspace study released earlier this week.
The research, called "The Human Cloud: Wearable Technology from Novelty to Productivity," found that there is much fanfare from British and American users surrounding these devices. The numbers are staggering. Eighty-two percent of wearable technology users in America and 71 percent in Britain say that these cloud-powered devices enhance their lives.
Of the 4,000 people surveyed, one in three said that these devices have helped their career development. Nearly half of all respondents from the UK and 59 percent of those from the United States believe that wearable tech helps them feel more in control of their lives.
And more than half of all people polled said that using these devices has boosted their creativity and personal efficiency while helping them stay in touch with their family and friends.
Despite its popularity, wearable tech doesn't come without its flaws.
A device is only as good as the data it delivers, and its accuracy and insight is what keeps customers engaged, according to Rackspace Startup Liaison Officer Robert Scoble.
There's also a common frustration around the quality and accuracy of data provided by these devices. Scoble says that as the market matures, the clear winners will be the manufacturers who manage to resolve these data issues to drive competitive advantage.
On a broader note, device and cloud vendors are already working together to enhance the quality of data capture and analysis that will help more and more people go digital and take better advantage of these wearable technologies.
Ultimately, wearable technology only takes off if the services that use the data are interesting and valuable to consumers. However, the sheer volume of global data that will be involved means that these services, and the technology itself, will not work without cloud powering it.

High yield typically means high risk, so sorting through the "accidental high yielders" often means determining whether the dividend is safe and the market is over-reacting, or whether there is something you don't know (yet).
Frack-fluid provider Poseidon Concepts (POOSF in the U.S. on the OTC, PSN.TO on the Toronto exchange) joined this club last week, after posting a big earnings miss and lowering guidance. Fracking service providers had been on a roll until earlier this year, when natural gas exploration and production companies starting cutting back on drilling in the face of persistently low gas prices. Fracking is not disappearing, of course, and in fact is focused mainly on oil production, but all the service providers are seeing a softening pace of business. Although Poseidon is Canadian (based in Calgary), 85% of revenue is derived in the lower 48, so it is subject to the same forces affecting U.S. companies. The company says that the Bakken and Rockies were slowing substantially for their frack-water storage tanks, but southern geographies -- the liquid plays in the Permian basin for example -- held up.
Poseidon had been on track to post C$250 million in revenue and C$180 million to C$200 million in EBITDA for 2012. After the miss and lowered guidance, attributed directly to lower utilization and pricing pressure, Wall Street is now looking for revenue of C$185 million and EBITDA of C$125 million for the year. The slowdown in fracking activity is real, but in response, Poseidon has frozen its frack-tank fleet at 440, which reduces capital expenditure by half, to C$35 million per year, and reduced pricing to be equivalent to competitors' day rates. Between these changes and the introduction of new products such as tank warmers that can increase the revenue per tank, Poseidon can at least hold revenue steady as it waits for well-completion activities to stabilize.
Making that determination is critical if you want to own Poseidon for the dividend, which is substantial. The dividend costs the company C$85 million per year, and management specifically stated that it would continue the monthly dividend of C$0.09 per share. That equates to C$1.08 per share, which was attractive at the old stock price of C$12, indicating a 9% yield. At the post-earnings stock price of C$4.75, the dividend is a shockingly high 23%. Either the market massively overreacted by driving the stock down 60% on the miss, or it firmly believes the dividend is going to be cut by well over half.
I already own the stock, so I am taking a shellacking on it, of course; however, I bought it for the income, and I expect that my monthly check should continue to arrive. For new investors, the income seems even more attractive. Even if conditions deteriorate and Poseidon cuts the dividend in half, you would still be collecting 11% or more on your investment.
One key to buying accidental high yielders is to have a margin of safety on possible dividend cuts. Although still high risk, Poseidon seems to have a cushion that can give you confidence to commit new capital now.

Lee to start Friday, likely setting Australia rotation
TEMPE, Ariz. -- The Dodgers have set up Clayton Kershaw and Hyun-Jin Ryu to start the two season-opening games in Australia by inserting prospect Zach Lee to start Friday against Texas.
It will be Lee's first start of the Spring after being slowed by a strained lat muscle.
Manager Don Mattingly won't confirm any of his plans, but he has told the pitchers their roles.
To further play out the likely strategy, Dan Haren is likely to make the trip as the emergency fill-in if something happened to either Kershaw or Ryu. That would mean Haren could go longer than a week without pitching in a game.
Zack Greinke probably won't travel because of his calf injury and Josh Beckett has been on a slower timetable coming off rib surgery.
The Dodgers, allowed to take only 30 players on the trip, also will need a starter to eat innings in the exhibition game against Team Australia two days before the opener. Matt Magill, stretched out to three innings of relief Wednesday night, seems a likely candidate for that start.

Be sure to also check out Frontier's Holiday Recipe Page for other fun (and tasty!) ideas.
Vegetarian Roasted Beet Skewers with Curried Yogurt Dipping Sauce
- 12 (4-inch) bamboo or metal skewers, or rosemary stems
- 6 medium beets, preferably of differing varieties, peeled and cut into 6 wedges each
- 3 tablespoons grapeseed oil (or substitute peanut oil)
- 2 teaspoons Frontier® Fair Trade organic cinnamon
- Frontier® sea salt and Frontier® Fair Trade organic cracked black pepper, to taste
Dipping Sauce
- ½ cup golden raisins
- ½ teaspoon Frontier® Fair Trade organic ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon Frontier® organic garlic powder
- ¾ teaspoon Frontier® Fair Trade organic turmeric
- ¾ teaspoon Frontier® organic Garam Masala (or to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon Frontier® organic cayenne pepper (or to taste, optional)
- 2 ounces fresh lemon juice (roughly the juice from 1 lemon)
- 1½ cups plain yogurt
- Frontier® sea salt and Frontier® Fair Trade organic ground white pepper, to taste
Note: Frontier® Co-op has provided this recipe as a suggestion for your use based on commonly available ingredients understood to be "vegetarian," which we define as not including any meat, fish, seafood or any products derived from them or any other part of an animal. This recipe may include animal by-products such as eggs, dairy, honey and substances derived from them. Please review the recipe carefully to determine your personal preference.
- Soak the bamboo skewers or rosemary stems in water for 1 hour (unnecessary if using metal skewers).
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- If using the rosemary stems, use a skewer to poke "pilot" holes through the sides of each wedge.
- In a large bowl, toss the beets with the oil, cinnamon, salt and pepper.
- Place three beet wedges on each skewer or stem, and arrange in neat rows in a casserole dish. Roast on the top shelf of the oven for 20 minutes or to desired doneness. Meanwhile, place the raisins and all the spices in a mortar and pestle or food processor and grind to a paste. Add the lemon juice, mix, and then add the yogurt. Mix thoroughly, taste and adjust for salt and white pepper.
- Remove the skewers from the oven and serve immediately with the sauce either in a bowl on the side or drizzled over top.

NLite Laser Collagen Replenishment System?
I am thinking about having a procedure done which was developed by a company called NLite. It claims to be safe, painless,and takes minutes and I can return to my day immediately. They say "NLite Laser Collagen Replenishment uses a specific frequency of yellow laser light to stimulate your own collagen growth...non-ablative...nonanesthesia. Treatment time takes 20-60 minutes. Gradually over a few weeks, your new collagen forms and fills in the voids, reducing the depth of the wrinkle." My question is, does this work? If so, is it longterm? Are there any longterm effects? I think it cost about $1,200. for a full treatment and may require a follow up treatment a few weeks later depending on the size and quantity of the wrinkles. Is this something that I would have to keep paying for every three months because the collagen disappears? Thanks for your input. Mary
This question does not fall within the scope of my topic area. I have forwarded your question to a NetWellness Expert who I hope will be able to provide you with an answer. In one to two days, please look for an answer to your question in the NetWellness Expert topic area called Skin Care.

Phoenix specifically.
How are the courses. The ones the Memorial is played at look decent, and I have checked dgcr for more. Everything looks super open, even compared to CO. . . How far is flagstaff, from say scottsdale or glendale? I have heard great things about the courses that worlds (07 i think?) were played at.
Are there nicely organized clubs? daily tags? I know a few of you guys are from AZ (domromer and timko i believe). I am asking because it looks as though I will be living there for the entirety of 2011.

Day of the Shark 2 thoughts:
- Red / hungry / kill
- Neil H is a bad bowler
- Surfers are crazy - but I do respect them - they have a special relationship with the ocean and sharks - but they are still crazy for dangling on the surface
- Not one of the shows thus far would have been watched by my children (if I had any) way to graphic - no need to show the open wounds and do not have any educational value
- Have nothing to say about the shark cage breach except that one of the divers said he is "passionate about sharks" - then why did he release the footage. I think he is passionate about money and fame
- "Lethal eating machine" - poor sharks
- Bahamas and Florida must love all the good publicity that Discovery Channel is giving them
- I have to agree that hogfish is the best tasting fish - also the easiest to spear
- Surprised they filmed a hogfish dying on spear - whatever happen to "no animals were harmed during the..."
- Film a reef shark and call it a bull / several scenes talk about one shark but show a different species
- "But sometimes shark attack on purpose..." great line
- Pleased by the positive attitude of shark encounter victims
- I would have jumped in and pounded on a shark as well if Tibu (my dog) was in trouble. My dog's name is Tibu - short for Tiburon (shark in Spanish)
- But even dogs forgive sharks
- Navy SEAL was in "hand-to-hand" combat with shark - if anything hand-to-fin
I am surprises that Febreze (Proctor and Gamble) is sponsoring Shark Week - why would they want to associate their brand with the gore? Product good to clean blood? Eliminate dead fish odors?

Builders merchants Travis Perkins helps with EACH garden
PUBLISHED: 19:40 09 November 2012
A team of five 'Hire It' managers from builders merchants Travis Perkins have put their green fingers to good use by refurbishing the garden at East Anglia's Children's Hospice (EACH) in Quidenham.
Nick Cowell, Neil Allan, Trevor Digby, John Gillings and Steve Ryan from the Travis Perkins hire service joined hospice staff in October to add some greenery and freshen up garden furniture.
Hire has been running in selected Travis Perkins branches for a number of years and with counters offering a range of tools, including landscaping equipment, the team had the means to help the hospice with its project.
Steve Ryan, operations manager group hire for East Anglia, commented: "Travis Perkins prides itself on its charity work and we were all very glad to be able to take some time and help out EACH in Quidenham.
"Being able to support the community and make a difference to those in need is a great feeling and this project provided us with an ideal opportunity to give something back.
"By volunteering our time, we can also bring these benefits to a worthwhile local cause."
East Anglia Children's Hospices supports children and their families across Cambridgeshire, Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk either in their own home or at hospices located in Ipswich, Milton and Quidenham.
The charity's care teams help children and their families with the emotional and physical challenges they face, helping them to make the most of life.

Indians name Nellie Rodriguez Minor League Player of the Week
The Cleveland Indians today announced that Single-A Lake County 1B/DH NELLIE RODRIGUEZ has been named Indians Minor League Player of the Week for July 7-13. The Indians Player of the Week Award recognizes an individual performance from within the Indians Player Development System and is announced each Tuesday through the end of the Minor League season.
Rodriguez, 20, hit .360 (9-25) with a double, 3 home runs, 10 RBI, 6 runs scored and a 1.120 OPS (.360 OBP/.760 SLG) in 6 games for the Captains this week. The 6-foot-2, 225-pound first baseman is also riding a 14-game hit streak dating back to June 29, as the big right-hander is batting just shy of .400 (.383; 23-60) with 4 doubles, 7 homers, 21 RBI and 16 runs scored over that stretch. Rodriguez's 7 home runs over his last 14 contests are T1st in all of Single-A, and just one shy of tops in Minor League baseball over that span. Nellie's recent power surge has propelled him into a Lake County-best 16 home runs on the season (2nd in Midwest League), as his 52 RBI and 153 total bases also lead the Captains.
Rodriguez entered the 2014 campaign coming off of a career season with Mahoning Valley in 2013. Rodriguez was the staple of the Scrappers offense, leading the club in virtually every offensive statistical category; he appeared in 73 games, pacing the club in hits (75), home runs (9), doubles (16), RBI (37) and OPS (.818). Rodriguez was originally drafted by Cleveland in the 15th round of the 2012 First-Year Player Draft out of George Washington High School in New York City, the same HS that produced former Tribe outfielder Manny Ramirez.

Service Changes at Champaign Post Office Set to Start
Customers in two of the three zip codes covered by the Champaign Post Office may not notice when their service switches to a different postal station this weekend.
On Saturday, delivery to the 61821 zip code serving the west side of Champaign will move from the main station on Mattis Avenue to the Neil Street station downtown. Delivery of mail to the 61622 zip code in the rural outskirts of Champaign will change from the Neil Street station to Mattis Avenue.
Jason Stalter of the Champaign Post Office said the only difference postal customers should see is when they have to go to a post office about their mail.
The Neil Street post office will continue to handle mail to the 61820 zip code --- Champaign's busiest. Post Office box service and the Campustown postal station will not be affected by the switch.

Produce for Kids is launching its annual campaign to encourage healthy eating.
The campaign is in its 12th year and projections are for it to hit the $5 million mark in total produce industry donations supporting children's organizations, according to a news release.
On May 2, the Orlando, Fla.-based organization launched the "Get Healthy, Give Hope" campaign benefiting Children's Miracle Network Hospitals and other children's charities.
This year, 17 grocery store chains and 35 grower-shipper suppliers are participating.
The program plans to feature in-store signs and point-of-sale material in more than 2,500 retail stores in 30 states and the District of Columbia.
The material will notify shoppers about participating suppliers as well as point them to www.produceforkids.com for additional information on the campaign.
The campaign also plans to provide more than 150 produce-centered recipes and healthy tips provided by parents, according to the release.
"Produce for Kids is committed to educating families on the benefits of healthy eating and inspiring parents and children to create nutritious and delicious meals together," John Shuman, Produce for Kids' president and president of Shuman Produce Inc., Reidsville, Ga., said in the release. "For more than a decade, our organization has partnered with regional supermarkets and produce companies to provide much-needed funding for local children's organizations. This is an important year for the program, as we expect to surpass the $5 million mark in total funds raised."

Please know that there are many of us who understand your pain, who understand your loneliness, and who understand how it feels to live in pain every day - 24 hours a day, with no relief and no indication that there will be relief anywhere in the near future. But, in spite of this, we try to fight for our health and try to understand our purpose. But, one thing I want you to know is that, in spite of what you think, you are not alone! You may not have anyone to visit you in person, but every member of this forum will be here for you to visit with any time of the day, every day and whenever you need us.

You will probably find that YOU CAN HELP MANY OTHERS HERE by sharing your experiences, sharing your stories and giving of yourself to lift someone else's spirits. Maybe one of your purposes was to come here to us.
I truly believe that God does indeed hear us and he gives us what we need (which is not always what we ask for). He may not take away your pain, but he may lead you to someone who is helped by the fact that you shared your experiences with them. He may not rid you of this illness, but he may make you the voice that saves someone's else's life! You are a cherished child of God and you do have a purpose....even if that purpose is just being there when someone calls to you for comfort!
We are here for you. You have called out to us for help and for comfort, we are here to give you those things. Do not take yourself away from us!
I am going to wait for you to reply to my post. I want you to talk to us and share with us and let us share with you. I am positive that another family member here will also respond to you (because this forum is filled with caring, giving, and supportive people) and you are important to us!

Of Counsel, Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton LLP

From public sector to private practice: A career in public service
Robert Philibosian's Southwestern education allowed him to progress from a budding career in public service to the pinnacle of state and local law enforcement leadership and a partnership in one of the nation's largest full-service law firms.
Beginning as a Deputy District Attorney in Los Angeles, Philibosian rose to become Head Deputy for the Van Nuys office before being tapped by then Attorney General George Deukmejian to serve as Chief Assistant Attorney General with a staff of 200 lawyers and 70 investigators in four offices around the state. Promoted to Chief Deputy Attorney General, he managed the daily operations of the Department of Justice with 2,900 employees and a $130 million budget before returning to Los Angeles. As the county's District Attorney, he headed the nation's largest local prosecuting office with 2,000 employees, among them more than 700 lawyers, and a budget of $92 million.
Leaving the District Attorney's office in 1984, Philibosian transferred his expertise to the private sector. "After so many years in public service, moving into government and administrative law was a natural step," he said. Skilled in negotiation and a veteran navigator of the government agency maze, Philibosian represents clients before local, state and federal administrative agencies and legislative bodies. He advises and represents clients on government permits, regulatory matters and other projects involving land use, coastal developments, public-private partnerships and municipal contracts, and consumer and environmental enforcement actions. He has also served as a news analyst and consultant to ABC Network News, and appeared on World News Tonight, Nightline, Good Morning America, 20/20 and other programs.
"I received a very practical education at Southwestern," Philibosian said. "I had the benefit of learning from outstanding professors who stressed the importance of practice, in addition to understanding theory. Southwestern continues to provide students with excellent preparation for the practice of law."

Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes 4-in-1 Mascara
Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes 4-in-1 Mascara Reviews
An Unhappy Surprise from TarteTarte can rarely do wrong in all things related to skin care and makeup. I can't recall what I did in the days before I discovered the brand. The eyeshadows, Amazonian clay blushes, LipSurgence tint, and SmolderEYES waterproof liner--oh, my! I had been told that I would fall hard for this mascara, and I didn't fall at all. My lashes were colored and separated, but there was no added volume or ...read morelength whatsoever. Perhaps if you are blessed with a plethora of lashes, this will work well for you. For those of us who are lacking, this is not a mascara which will enhance your lashes at all. Hard to believe it's from Tarte! — 4 years, 7 months agoGigiSD | 1102 reviews

Not a Great MascaraI love the Tarte line and I received this in a kit. It is THE WORST mascara I have used. Maybe I am picky, but I look for lengthening and fullness. This product does neither. All it does is darken your lashes; no lengthening and thickening. For me, this is not acceptable because I think longer, thicker lashes really make your eyes pop. I do not recommend this product. — 4 years, 7 months agoCaroleVonAllten | 1401 reviews

MehI got a sample of this mascara recently (and the coordinating primer) and I have to say I'm not impressed! A lot of what the reviewers are saying is true--it doesn't clump and I didn't notice any flaking or smudging. But it also didn't give my lashes any extra length or volume. — 5 years, 6 months agotallredamanda | 433 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
I've had some good friends, both male and female, in my life. But I am aware that in traditional societies, men generally mix with men, and women with women. In such societies, men don't go about befriending women, or vice versa. A man's personal dealings with women are limited to his wife, daughters, etc.
What do folks think about this? I recently made a good friend, who happens to be female. Our friendship is completely non-sexual; although there is affection between us, it's just like hugs etc. Do other folks have such friendships? Furthermore, are such friendships doomed to fade once one or the other gets romantically involved (with someone else, I mean)?
I'm curious about this. As far as I'm concerned, if I had an actual girlfriend and really trusted her, I should not mind her maintaining her male friendships. Not should she mind, me maintaining my female ones. But why is it that, in actual practice, this often is not how things work out? But has it worked out for anyone here?

Last night on Gamepro's website, a new interview went up with Fallout 3 Executive Producer Todd Howard. It's a short interview, but provides some new insight on the game. Here's a sample:
GamePro: What's one particular detail of the game that Bethesda is particularly proud of?
Howard: Right now we've got a lot of the world built and we're excited by how fun it is to explore. I admit we were worried about such a grand world that is completely destroyed and it feeling morbidly depressing and empty. We have a ways to go yet, but it's looking good and there's a lot of sandbox gameplay to discover.
Head over to GamePro's site to check out the rest of the interview.
