I teach 8,9, 10 and 11 year olds in England, and have been working in schools for fifteen years. My Guided Reading resources are designed to help children's comprehension skills. As well as providing preparation for reading tests, my hope is that my resources will encourage children to get excited about interesting topics, and stimulate lively classroom discussion. From The World Cup to the Loch Ness Monster, my ever expanding store will help your children get excited about reading!
Teaching should be rooted in the here and now. As a teacher, I'm acutely aware of the need to drop whatever may have been planned and respond to world events. My class keeps a keen eye on the news, and our literacy and reading projects reflect this.
Yet to be added
After working as a journalist for the BBC, I decided to change career and train as a teacher. I have written youth and children's resources for a number of organisations and enjoy delivering these to my own classes.

Toya Midori brought her car to a halt in front of the only house around. After checking the address to verify she was in the correct place, she turned off the engine and descended her green Toyota.
Well, it seemed that beautiful beach house was the home of the Shimamura.
006 scratched his head, confused. But if he only had turned away for a second! Where had all his strawberries gone? He looked under the table, maybe he dropped them but… nope, they weren't anywhere. When he looked up again, not only the strawberries were missing but the sweet, hot, fluffy cranberry muffins he had just baked for breakfast were gone as well!
What the hell was going on?
He saw a glimpse of grey through the corner of his eye and felt a rush of air. When Chang looked back at the table, his chocolate cookies had also vanished! Those were for Marie!
A mocking laughter reached his ears.
006 grabbed a pan and started looking around, moving his kitchen utensils aside. Small paws could be heard running from one side to another.
"Alright baldy! Come out come out, wherever you are! I'm gonna get my hands on you and you're not gonna like it!"
And then, there he was, a small grey mouse with big eyes, hiding behind the flour bin. Chang snickered and raised the pan.
"You'll learn to leave my cooking alone once and for all!" he shouted and the pan went down, but the mouse was faster and dodged the hit and instead, 006 knocked the flour bin, sending the light powder flying all over his beloved kitchen and covering in it a fine layer of white.
"Hah hah hah!" A second later, 007 transformed in his human form and started laughing at his teammate's misfortune.
"Just look at you! You look like a giant marshmallow man! Hah hah!" He clutched his belly.
"007… you miserable failure of an actor!" 006 narrowed his eyes while his lower lip quivered dangerously. He had had enough.
"Wha--? Ahhg!" G.B. barely avoided the gust of fire that, if he wasn't already bald, would have burned his hair whole.
"Um?" 003 looked up from her reading; she heard an engine outside the house. She looked toward the source of the sound and saw, using her x-ray vision, that a young woman was now walking toward the entrance of the house. Who could she possibly be and what would she want at 10:00 a.m. on a Sunday morning?
"Joe." she called to his husband, who wouldn't separate his eyes from his Need for Speed videogame.
"Joe?" she called again. Honestly, didn't he ever get tired of cars? Wasn't it enough that, for a job, he already drove a racing car and was a top ten racer in the world? Men were such kids.
"Papa, maman is talking to you." Marie, who was sitting next to him, watching him play, tugged at his jacket.
"Huh?" he half turned to see her, not taking his eyes off the screen.
"There's a woman walking to the front door, I don't know who she is. We should go and check," 003 informed him.
"Yeah… right… just let me finish this lap."
003 rolled her eyes and left her book down. "Forget it, I'll go check myself."
"Yeah… bring me one too…"
If 003 rolled her eyes once more, they would fall right out of their sockets.
"I'll make you roast beef!"
"Calm down! Ah! Enough with the fire! Chaaaang!" 007 ran for his dear life as 006 chased him out the kitchen and out to the back yard.
The British, and possibly, soon to be roasted, man, transformed himself into a pelican in order to escape by air, and in that same shape, turned around the corner of the house. 005 was at the garage. He could save him from the cook's ire!
Toya reached the porch and was about to knock on the door when something caught her attention; it was a man, a very big one, with a Mohawk and red skin. His appearance was highly unusual, but that was not what made her freeze on the spot.
Apparently, he hadn't seen her, too busy moving a car out the way in order to, probably, pull his own vehicle from the packed garage. The thing was, he wasn't driving said car but lifting it with a single hand, with no more effort than if he were lifting a bicycle.
Was she dreaming? She rubbed her eyes, incredulous, and gave a step to the front, trying to get a closer look, but a sudden noise made her turn back.
"Come back here! You little—!"
"Ahhhg! Leave me alone! Geronimoooooo!"
The teacher opened wide her eyes when she saw a huge pelican coming at her, who she thought to have heard talking and who, apparently, was escaping from a man throwing fire at him… from his mouth.
"What is th--?" But she never got time to complete the sentence.
007 turned his head to see where he was going and saw that he was about two nanoseconds to collide against a petite black haired woman standing on the porch.
"Watch out!" he screamed and then tried as hard as he could to avoid her, manoeuvring to the right and indeed, he didn't crash against her. Instead, he left the way free between her and Chang's fire.
Toya barely opened her mouth, hypnotized by the bright ball of fire coming toward her.
And then, earth disappeared beneath her feet. As in slow motion, she saw the ball of fire charring to ashes the very spot where she had been standing, then she turned up to see a man with a big mane of red hair holding her in his arms. Amazed, she looked down again and distinguished, perplexed, their shadow silhouetted on the ground. Of course… that often happened when one was floating in the middle of the air.
"Ahhhhhhh!" She screamed and clutched to her rescuer, only to start hitting him on the chest with her fists a second after, not sure if to be grateful or afraid.
"Hey hey! Calm down! I saved you, you know?" said the man and then he landed, releasing her.
007 flew to them and transformed to his own self, worry apparent on his face.
"Miss, are you hurt? He asked. 006 stood next to him, playing nervously with his chef hat. 005 had noticed the whole mess as well and had joined them by now, but he had forgotten to leave the car behind, carrying it with him.
Toya gave a couple of steps back and fell on her butt, looking at them all with her eyes almost out of her eye sockets.
"What happened here?" She heard someone saying and then turned around to see a blond woman walking to them. She seemed pretty angry. She must be Marie's mother, Toya half thought within her bewilderment.
"This couple of idiots, what else? They almost burned this girl alive!" answered 002 while pointing at G.B. and Chang, who only looked away with their hands behind their backs. They almost whistled, 003 could swear.
"She's not a cyborg or anything by any chance, is she?" 002 then added and tightened his eyelids.
003 checked the woman lying on the floor and moved her head negatively, then she offered her hand to her in order to help her up. In that moment, Geronimo remembered he was still carrying the car and let it down very slowly, as if by doing so, the woman wouldn't notice what he was doing.
"Are you alright?" 003 asked.
"I… I… don't think so…" Toya Midori started to see the edges of her vision darkening and blurring and she felt her head spinning wildly. Then she knew nothing else.
They were all reunited in the living room, looking with concern at the woman sitting on the couch, holding a shaking cup of valium tea and eyeing the five persons around her with alarm.
"Feeling better already?" asked 003. The unfortunate guest looked at her and then pointed at 007 with an unsteady hand.
"H-how can I? He—he was a bird! And y-you can fly!" she pointed now to 002, who was leaning on the entrance, arms crossed.
"Yeah yeah, I did, and the chubby one threw fire at you, but s'alright, we're not going to hurt you so stop being so nervous."
Toya opened her mouth with indignation. How rude! For a second she forgot her fear and was about to reprimand him when a little voice made her turn around.
"Miss Toya!"
Marie came down the stairs, accompanied by a tall, chestnut haired man. The child gave her a broad smile and ran to hug her. The cyborgs were now officially confused.
"What's going on? We were upstairs playing and heard all the noise, so we came down to see," 009 said and found several pairs of eyes looking in his direction with desires to strangle him, probably.
"This young lady here had an unlucky encounter with us… we almost burned her alive…" answered G.B. while he massaged his shoulder, nervously.
But Marie was unaware of the tension present in the room. "You came to visit me?" she asked innocently. Toya nodded and tried to smile at the young girl.
"Ah look! This is my maman and my papa and uncle Chang and Uncle Jet and Uncle G.B. and uncle Geronimo. Everybody, this is Miss Toya, my teacher." Marie pointed to them as she introduced them to her teacher, but remembered suddenly that her mother had told her repeatedly that pointing was rude and lowered her arm.
"You… you're Marie's teacher?" asked 009. The woman nodded, nervously. 009 and 003 looked at each other, agape. This was their daughter's teacher? And their comrades had just done something surely, very, very stupid in front of her?
"Uh-oh," uttered Chang, apparently understanding how bad this matter could turn.
Toya lowered her cup to the coffee table and took a deep breath. She still didn't comprehend what had just happened out there but if this was Marie´s family, then there had to be an explanation… Funny, the situation remembered her of that drawing.
Toya gulped; suddenly she started to realize that Marie's drawing was not made out of pure imagination, after all.
"Miss Toya… right? We're sorry that this all happened, please, we apologize for anything that these three put you through," 009 said and sat in front of her, jerking his head toward 002, 006 and 007.
Chang and G.B. lowered their heads but Jet snapped at once, "What? I didn't put her through anything! I saved her ass! If not for me we'd have teacher a la barbeque!"
"And did you had to fly? Couldn't you just accelerate to get her of the way?" 009 answered. Marie, still next to her teacher, looked at the scene with a frown. Her dad and uncle almost never argued.
"I didn't have anytime to react! I did what came first to my mind! Any way, it's not like I made the situation worst! What else could she think after seeing a giant bird and a fire breathing man? Huh? Besides, what's she doing here?"
Now Jet turned to Toya. "What are you doing here?"
"Jet!" 003 tried to make him stop talking.
The woman frowned, upset. She had not come to receive this kind of treatment; being about to be run over then burned and tossed around in the air was not her idea of a visit to a student's home!
"I came here to speak to Marie's parents, not to be treated this way!"
"Talk to Marie's parents? On Sunday? Who are you trying to kid?" 002 retorted.
Toya stood up, puffing with indignation. "This isn't a joke! I'm here because there's an important issue I have to talk with Mr and Ms, Shimamura and I'm here on Sunday because it's my only free day!"
"Jet! That's enough!" 003 yelled this time. 002 sulked but complied, again crossing his arms, what indicated he would try to behave.
"Miss Toya, but why didn't you send us a request for an interview or a notification before coming all the way here?" 009 asked, as Marie left her teacher's side and ran to her mom, asking her why they were so upset. 003 just stroked her head and asked her to keep quiet for a moment.
"I did! On three occasions, but I never received an answer! And you don't have a phone!" said the teacher, defensively.
003 turned to her daughter. "Marie, did Miss Toya give you a paper to give to us?"
Marie rolled her eyes up, trying to remember, then her little face lit up when she gave with the answer. "Oh yeah, she told me to give them to a responsible adult."
"And what did you do with them, sweetie?"
"I gave them to uncle G.B." Marie smiled and pointed to the retreating English cyborg, whom had almost tiptoed his way out the living room.
"Great Britain!" shouted 009 and 007 put his hands up.
"I'm sorry I'm sorry, I forgot about them and besides you know I speak Japanese but I don't read Kanji, for Shakespeare's sake!"
"This is stupid! I'm out of here! I'm returning to the States tomorrow and Kathy and Jimmy still haven't seen half of what I wanted to show them!" Jet shouted. He lived now in New York, with Kathy and her son, and was only visiting his cyborgs family for a short time.
003 put a hand on her temper and sighed. "Listen Jet, would you mind taking Marie with you?"
"And everyone else, please. Could you step out? Françoise and I want to speak with Miss Toya, alone," 009 added.
There was a pregnant pause.
"Yeah sure, come on kiddo. Wanna play with Jimmy?" said Jet finally. Marie's smile broadened and after kissing her parents and her teacher, ran to her 'most favourite' uncle, clasping his hand.
"And I… um, have to go and clean the kitchen. Great Britain, care to help me?" said 006. 007 was smart enough to not complain and followed the Chinese man head lowered and with not a word.
"I was heading off to the grocery store any way. Miss, glad to meet you and we are deeply sorry for scaring you," 005 apologized.
A moment later, several doors closed and Toya Midori was left alone with Marie's parents.
"We are really sorry for all of this, I guess we should introduce ourselves properly now, I'm Joe Shimamura and this is my wife, Françoise." 009 rose from his seat and bowed to the teacher, 003 did the same. Toya responded the salute, but she was still shaking a little.
"N-nice to meet you I think but… I'm sorry if I'm rude but I have to know. What the hell did just happen outside? How's that those men were capable of doing such things? What's going on here, Mrs. Shimamura?" Toya blunted and blushed, not used to speak in such manner to anyone, especially not to a student's parents.
003 and 009 looked at each other and sighed.
"We understand that you're confused or even frightened, but please, believe me. We're not dangerous, we all—"
"Not dangerous? I was almost burned alive out there!" Toya interrupted 009's speech, raising her arms and pointing to the yard. Then she continued, "Once, Marie showed me a drawing where she described her entire family having all kind of weird supernatural powers, at first I thought she was only imagining it all but … but… I'm starting to fear it wasn't that way. Are you all some kind of super powered humans or something?"
009 closed his eyes and tried to think of something but his mind was a blank. What could he do? What could he say? But, his wife took the decision from him.
"Yes, Miss Toya, we are."
Toya blinked, not really expecting such a straight declaration. "And… and, Marie's like you? What does she do? Is she a danger for the other kids? What if she hurts them by accident? You should have told me something like this before sending her to school!" the teacher shouted, still shocked at the news.
"Please, calm down, we beg you. Marie's just as normal as any kid her age. She possesses no special abilities but perhaps, her talent to draw, that's it… You can trust us on that," 003 assured with a hurt tone in her voice. She just couldn't bear for her little angel to be targeted as a freak because of them. She felt like punching the good teacher, and knew her husband had similar feelings, but still, they understood Ms. Toya's worries.
Toya put a hand on her face and sighed. She hadn't really meant to say those things, she was just nervous, and now she was deeply ashamed as well. "I'm… I'm sorry… I was discourteous toward you and your daughter in your own house. It wasn't my intention, it's just that I'm very confused. I don't understand how you can do all those things."
009 met 003's eyes and she nodded, indicating her support.
Joe took a deep breath and looked at the woman eye to eye. "I'll give you the short story, some time ago, the persons you saw here, Françoise and I were subjects of several tests of an organization. As result of such tests we developed certain abilities, but these changes we suffered were made at a physical level, not at a genetic one, that's why Marie´s as normal as any other child."
Toya shook her head, trying to process the information she just had received. "Then, if I recall correctly, you are able to run at high speed and you can see through walls, I think," she said to the cyborg parents and they nodded.
"Oh dear… I still can't believe it."
"But as we said earlier, you have no reason to fear us, in any sense, we're not dangerous to you. We keep our powers in deep secret and I can assure you that Chang won't go to roast you if you give a low grade to Marie," Françoise joked and surprisingly, it did bring a little smile from the woman.
"Really? Well… I should feel relieved then." Toya massaged her nape as she said this and then gave a nervous laugh. "I guess you're interesting people to meet, after all. I'm sorry I had to stumble onto your private lives this way."
"Not to worry. We're glad nothing too serious happened today. So why did you say you came here in the first place?" asked 009.
Toya raised her hand to her forehead. "Oh yeah! I had absolutely forgotten! Well, the school board saw Marie's drawings and the want to put her in a special class for gifted kids to develop her talent. We only need your approval."
"I think Marie will love that," 003 smiled.
"Yeah, it's fine by us."
"It's done… then… I… I… feel a little dizzy" Toya took a hand to her eyes while her face wrinkled in a confused gesture. 003 and 009 watched her patiently, trying to look as relaxed as possible.
"What was I saying? H-how did I ge—I… Mrs. Shimamura?" Toya looked at the young couple sitting across her.
"Do you feel alright, Miss Toya?" asked 009.
"I'm not sure… I don't remember wha—"
"You were saying us that Marie will join a class for gifted children in order to improve her drawing abilities. We said it would be alright." 003 filled her in.
"Oh… oh yeah, that's why I came here. Where's the little angel by the way?" Toya still appeared to be confused and her eyes would seem unfocused all the sudden.
"She's off with her uncle Jet." 009 Informed her.
"Oh right, she's told me about him… I would have liked to meet him. Well, Mr Shimamura, Mrs. Shimamura, I won't take more of your Sunday time, sorry if I caused you any bother."
"Not at all Miss Toya, it was a pleasure having you here." 003 said and rose to her feet. 009 did the same.
Miss Toya rose as well and regarded the cup of tea on the table. Had she been drinking it? She really couldn't remember for her dear life. Also she hardly remembered getting of her car. Kami, she was working too hard, maybe she should ask for some time off…
009 accompanied their guest to the door and stayed there, waving at her until her car disappeared down the road. After that he returned to the living room and sat next to 003, only then, they let go of the collective breath they had been holding.
A young blue haired boy about seven years old came floating down the stairs. No matter if he could walk, he would always prefer to levitate.
"Thanks Ivan, you really saved us from this one," said 009 with a relieved tone.
It was not a problem, though you ought to be much more careful now, a memory can be modified only a number of times and I'd hate to cause poor Miss Toya a permanent brain damage, 001 said.
"Ivan, when are you going to use your mouth to speak?" asked 003, smiling to the child who she had taken care of since he was a baby.
The boy decided to please her and voiced, "Why? It's much easier this way, I can chew and speak at the same time, it's fun," he smiled to them and ran upstairs again.
"Well, that was close…" said 009 in a tired voice.
"Nothing of this would have happened if you hadn't been so engrossed with that stupid game!" 003 reproached, shaking her finger furiously.
"Hey! It isn't stupid! It's incredibly hard to drive that damn car in the snow pit! I can't pass that level!"
003 stood up and stomped her hoot. "That's it! I had enough of that game! I can stand hearing all those damned components working day and night while you play! I even can tolerate you not listening to me when I speak to you but that's all I can stand! You're about to change 'Need for Speed' for 'Need for a new PS2'!" And 003 dashed upstairs.
009 stayed there, sitting, trying to decipher what his wife had just meant. Then it hit him.
"Fran! Don't you dare touch my Play Station!" and he ran after her
Well, it was very funny to do this three parts one-shot. I hope you had as much fun with this as I did. Leave comments, please.
I also love imaging 001 grown up! I'd hate to think he will remain a baby forever.
Again, my gratitude goes to GoldAngel2. One of the most committed beta-readers I've met.

American Crew Nine Men's Fragrance 2.5 oz
Out of the five senses, scent is the one that is most connected to memory and can evoke the strongest feelings. With this in mind, American Crew set out to create a men's fragrance that would elicit a powerful reaction from women.
It's a tough concoction to mix. A smell that attracts women. But that's exactly what American Crew did. We've developed a fragrance that women love, almost universally. In fact, 9 out of 10 women say they like the smell of our new men's fragrance.
How did we do it? It took a lot of research to figure out the chemistry of chemistry—what attracts a woman to a man. What do women like? Do different women like different smells? How do we use science to enhance a woman's attraction to a man? After nearly a year of trial and error we finally cracked the code and are ready to introduce Nine, the new men's fragrance from American Crew.

Fears of an inflation-busting new year wage round were fuelled yesterday by a survey showing a sharp rise in private sector pay deals last month.
The average level of annual pay deals rose to 3.4 per cent in October from 3.1 per cent in the previous month, Industrial Relations Service said yesterday. This pushes deals to the top of the range of the last decade.
Although the rise was influenced by October's 30p-an-hour rise in the national minimum wage, analysts said it could be the first sign that rising inflation was feeding through to pay claims.
Headline retail price inflation has risen from 2.2 per cent at the end of last year to an eight-year high of 3.7 per cent in October. It is expected to hit 4.0 per cent by the end of the year according to a consensus of City analysts.
There have been particularly sharp rises in key services that households have to pay for such as gas bills, up 41 per cent, and electricity tariffs, which have risen 27 per cent over the last year.
Howard Archer, chief UK economist at Global Insight, said: "The Bank of England is on red alert for any signs that pay is moving significantly higher. If pay does move markedly higher in the early 2007 wage settlements, the Bank is highly likely to respond by pushing interest rates higher."
Last week Mervyn King, the Bank's Governor, played down fears of a surge in pay deals, saying the fall in trade union membership had lessened the importance of collective bargaining.
"Clearly we have seen demand for labour pick up again, but we don't know how much the RPI will influence the outcome of wage bargaining. We will have to wait and see," he said.
Malcolm Barr, UK economist at JP Morgan, said the slack in the labour market thanks to continued net immigration would constrain wage growth. "Our view is that the early 2007 wage round will prove benign and the IRS data do not change that view," he said.
Meanwhile, the overall level of wage deals in the manufacturing sector edged up to 3 per cent for the first time in two years. But the number of companies freezing pay and deferring their pay settlement increased, the manufacturers' organisation EEF said.
The average level rose to 3 per cent last month, up from 2.8 per cent at the end of September. The number of companies reporting that they had frozen pay rose slightly, to just over 5 per cent.
David Yeandle, a deputy director of EEF, said: "We will have a clearer picture of the future direction of manufacturing pay settlements when the figures include settlements reached in January 2007, the main month for pay negotiations."Reuse content

Guy Gardner and Billings were the stand-ins for the original Green Lanterns, assisting the pair one a few occasions by dressing up as them, although they each had short-lived careers as costumed crusaders.
Hal Jordan as Green Lantern saved school teacher Guy Gardner while Guy was himself saving a scared girl from the collapse of a bridge. Gardner developed a romantic relationship with Kari Limbo, one that would not last the test of time. Guy's forestalled career as Lantern's ended quickly in tragedy. Caught in a power battery discharge, Gardner was sent to the Phantom Zone, after which he was eventually freed and returned to Earth-One by Jordan. The experience left Guy mentally traumatized. Gardner would later be revived and then granted the power and title of a Green Lantern once more during the Crisis on Infinite Earths, given a mission to lead an army of supervillains to the Anti-Matter Universe to defeat its leader the Anti-Monitor. The fact that Jordan had started dating Kari while Guy was in the Zone led to enmity between the two Lanterns that persisted for years.
Alan Scott as Green Lantern learned that his predecessor to the power battery, given to him by a monk, was a former businessman named Mister Billings. When the stock market crashed, Billings lost all his wealth and blamed his investor whom he slew. Incarcerated in Arkham Asylum in Gotham City, he was given the ancient Chinese lantern crafted by Chang from a Green Flame meteor. Refashioning is as a modern battery, it flamed and restored Billings sanity. He then presumably returned to a normal life. Whether Billings later met with Scott is unknown, as he was an old man when the Green Lantern debuted in the early 1940's.

Fixing CentOS Root Certificate Authority IssuesWednesday, June 1st, 2011
While trying to clone a repository from Github the other day on one of my EC2 servers and I ran into an SSL verification issue. As it turns out, Github renewed their SSL certificate (as people who are responsible about their web presence do when their certificate is about to expire). As a result, I couldn't git clone over https. This presents a problem since all my deploys work using git clone over https.
Joe Job and SPFTuesday, March 27th, 2007
First off, get your mind out of the gutter. A joe job has absolutely nothing to do with what you're thinking about. It's email related and it can be a pain in the ass to deal with.
What is a Joe Job?
Joe Job is the term used to describe the act of forging bulk email to appear to the recipient as if the email were coming from the victim. Generally speaking, this term is used to describe an attack of this nature. This is to say that when a spambot or botnet sends a massive amount of email to a victim. The named was coined by an attack launched against http://www.joes.com/ in January of 1997. The perpetrator (SPAMMER) sent a flood of emails from spoofed addresses in a (successful) attempt to enrage the recipients to take action against the company.
Why do I care?
There are many reasons, but I will just cover a few until you get the picture. The main victim of a SPAM attack of this nature ends up having an INBOX full of junk. This junk can potentially include malware, virii, and any number of phishing or scam based attacks. Also, since there is so much email traversing the connection, the bandwidth gets sucked up and depending on the actual amount of SPAM coming in, could render the connection unusable until all the mail is filtered through. The problem comes in when there are thousands of messages, that could take days or even weeks. Since the originating address is spoofed, those who don't know are going to get very upset with who they *believe* to be responsible for sending the email. The last item I am going to touch on is that the person whose email address was spoofed now has to deal with all the auto-responses and whatever else may automatically come their way. (I think you get the idea).
What I can do?
There is nothing that you can do to completely avoid it besides not using the internet or email. There are some steps that you can take. One of the first things is to take a look at SPF (Sender Policy Framework). To set this up in DNS, you need to do the following:
In your DNS zone file for server.com, you should add something like the following:
server.com. IN TXT "v=spf1 a mx -all"
- v – The version of SPF to use
- a mx – The DNS attributes permitted to send messages for server.com
- -all – Reject everything else that does match a or mx
This can also get more in depth depending on the number of email accounts you have and from where. For instance, let's say your mail server's name is mail.server.com and you also have email accounts on gmail (gmail.com)and your work email (myjob.com). Your line would look something similar to the following:
server.com. IN TXT "v=spf1 mx a:mail.server.com include:gmail.com include:myjob.com -all"
The a line is saying that mail.server.com is authorized to send mail via your mail server. The include statements are basically saying that everything considered legitimate by either gmail.com or myjob.com should also be considered legitimate by you.
There is a lot more information on configuring SPF. The documentation should be read thoroughly as improperly configured SPF can prevent legitimate email from flowing. For more information of SPF and configuring it, check out:
- OpenSPF: http://www.openspf.org/
- Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sender_Policy_Framework
SPF is just one method that can be used to fight against being a victim of a Joe job. You should always be using some method of SPAM filtering in addition to SPF. Layered security needs to be the approach when locking down any type of server or service.
Super Security vs. Ease of UseMonday, February 5th, 2007
I think I am going to get back onto my soapbox about being extraordinarily secure, only this time, I am going to compare it to ease of use. I would once again like to reiterate the fact that I am strongly for security in all its aspects. However, some people get into the presence of a security individual and freak out. They start saying that they know certain things are secure and insecure and then do them anyway.
A great example of this is SSH access to servers. Consider the following physical network layout.
,---------- Server I Inet---------|F/W|---+----------- Server II `----------- Server III
If you want to leave certain nice to do's or ease of use functionality available to your self such as leaving SSH open only to root or having a machine with anonymous FTP access available, then take a slightly different approach to securing your environment (or those particular machines): layered security. Without changing the physical layout of your network, change the network layout using iptables and/or tcp wrappers. Make the network look more like this:
,------Server II Inet-----|F/W|----Server I--< `------Server III
This is essentially saying that all traffic that you want to funnel to Server II or Server III will now go through server I. This can be used in a variety of ways. Let's say that all 3 servers are in the DMZ (De-Militarized Zone) and that Server's II and III are hosting the services available to the outside. Allowing direct access to them via SSH or FTP probably isn't the best idea because these are services that allow files to be changed. So what can we do to change this?
First let's configure TCP wrappers. Starting out with the assumption that you are being paranoid where necessary, let's set SSH up to only allow incoming connections from Server I and deny from everywhere else. In the /etc/hosts.deny file on Server II, add the following lines (everything that goes for Server II goes for Server III to mimic the setup):
sshd1: ALL
sshd2: ALL
Now in the /etc/hosts.allow file on Server II, add the IP address of Server I (IPs are all made up):
sshd1: 220.127.116.11
sshd2: none
This now ensures that the only way SSH traffic will be allowed Server II is through (or from) Server I. But let's say that isn't enough for you. Let's say you want a little more security so you can sleep a little better at night. Enter netfilter and IPTables. On Server II, add the following to your firewall script:
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j SSH # Send to the SSH chain
iptables -A SSH -s 18.104.22.168/32 -j ACCEPT # Allow from Server I
iptables -A SSH -m limit --limit 5/s -j LOG # Log the problems
iptables -A SSH -j DROP # Drop everything else
So what's the point of all this extra configuration? Simple, it allows for a little more flexibility when it comes to your setup. Although I recommend having SSH keys and not allowing direct root access from anywhere, you can get away with a little more. You can allow root access via an SSH key. And if you have enough protections/layers/security in place, you may also even consider using a password-less SSH key depending on what the role of the contacting server is (ie. rsync over SSH).
In the optimal version of a network setup with SSH, you may want to only allow user access to Server II via entry only through Server I. Then to top it off, only allow sudo access to root if the user is in the sudoers file. This throws a lot more protections behind Server II, but makes it somewhat complicated to just do something simple. This is especially true if Server II is on an internal network which isn't very accessible anyway. The advice I generally give is in the form of the question, "What is tradeoff?" More times than not, ease of use the answer. So keeping in mind that ease of use isn't out of the realm of possibility, just remember that layered security can be your friend. It's usually how the tradeoff comes.
10 More Tips Towards Securing Your Linux SystemWednesday, January 31st, 2007
Since everyone seemed to enjoy my first round of tips and tricks to securing a linux system, I figured I would throw together a few more. Enjoy.
- There are files that get changed very infrequently. For instance, if your system won't have any users added anytime soon then it may be sensible to chattr immutably the /etc/password and /etc/shadow files. Only the superuser or a process possessing the CAP_LINUX_IMMUTABLE capability can set or clear this attribute.
1chattr +i /etc/passwd /etc/shadow
- Password protect your linux install with LILO. Edit your /etc/lilo.conf. At the end of each linux image that you want to secure, put the lines:
password = MySecurePassword
Ensure you rereun /sbin/lilo so the changes take effect.
- Users who have sudoer (sudo) accounts setup can have the account setup to change to root without a password. To check this, as root use the following command:
1grep NOPASSWD /etc/sudoers
If there is an entry in the sudoers file, it will look like this:1eric ALL=NOPASSWD:ALL
To get rid of this, type visudo and remove the line in that file.
- Use sudo to execute commands as root as a replacement for su. In the /etc/sudoers file, add the following lines by using the visudo command:
2Cmnd_Alias LPCMDS = /usr/sbin/lpc, /usr/bin/lprm
eric ALL=LPCMDS
Now the user 'eric' can sudo and use the lpc and lprm commands without having any other root level access.
- Turn off PasswordAuthentication and PermitEmptyPasswords in the SSH configuaration file /etc/ssh/sshd_config. This will ensure that users cannot set empty passwords or login without SSH keys.
2PermitEmptyPasswords no
PasswordAuthentication no
- Instead of using "xhost +" to open up access to the X server, be more specific. Use the server name that you are allowing control to:
1xhost +storm:0.0
Once you are done using it, remember to disallow access to the X server from that host:1xhost -storm:0.0
- To find out the .Xauthority magic cookie looks like and to send it (authorization information) to the remote host, use the following command:
1xauth extract - $DISPLAY | ssh storm xauth merge -
Now the user who ran this command on the original host can now run xcilents on storm. xauth needs to be present on both hosts.
- To turn on spoof protection, run a simple bash script:
1for i in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/rp_filter; do echo 1 > $i done;
Be careful to remember that it drops packets more or less 'invisibly'.
- A SYN-flood attack has the ability to bring the network aspect of your linux box to a snail like crawl. TCP_SYNCookies protection attempts to stop this from taking a heavy toll on the machine. To enable cp_syncookies
protection, use the following command:1echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_syncookies
- When possible use secure connection methods as opposed to insecure methods. Unless you are required to use telnet, substitute ssh (Secure SHell) in for rsh or telnet. Instead of POP3 or IMAP use SPOP3 or SIMAP (IMAPS). Both SIMAP and SPOP3 are just versions of IMAP and POP3 running over an SSL (Secure Socket Layer) tunnel.
10 Tips To Start Securing Your Linux SystemMonday, January 29th, 2007
A while back I had been asked to write a few quick tips that as an administrator, one would find helpful. They published in one form or another and are now available here. There are MANY more, but these are just a few. Enjoy.
- Users who may be acting up or aren't listening can still be controlled. Using a program called 'skill' (signal kill) which is part of the 'procps' package.
4Halt/Stop User eric: skill -STOP -u eric
Continue User eric: skill -CONT -u eric
Kill and Logout User eric: skill -KILL -u eric
Kill and Logout All Users: skill -KILL -v /dev/pts/*
- Make use of security tools out there to test your server's weaknesses. Nmap is an excellent port scanning tool to test to see what ports you have open. On a remote machine, type the command:
10# nmap -sTU <server_ip>
Starting nmap 3.70 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2006-08-10 13:51 EST
Interesting ports on eric (172.16.0.1):
(The 3131 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed)
22/tcp open ssh
113/tcp open auth
Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 221.669 seconds
- On a production server that is in a common area (although this should not be the case, some situations are inevidable). To avoid an accidental CTRL-ALT-DEL reboot of the machine, do the following to remove the necessary
lines from the /etc/inittab file:1# sed -i 's/ca::ctrlaltdel:/#ca::ctrlaltdel:/g' /etc/inittab
- Two SSH configuration options that can be set to improve security should be checked on your production server. UsePrivilegeSeparation is an option, when enabled will allow the OpenSSH server to run a small (necessary) amount of code as root and the of the code in a chroot jail environment. StrictModes checks to ensure that your ssh files and directories have the proper permissions and ownerships before allowing an SSH session to open up. The
directives should be set in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config as follows:1
2UsePrivilegeSeparation yes
StrcitModes yes
- The default umask (usermask) on most systems should be 022 to ensure that files are created with the permissions 0644 (-rw-r–r–). To change the default umask setting for a system, edit /etc/profile to ensure that you umask is appropriate for your setup.
- Some users like to have a passwordless account. To check this you need to look at the /etc/shadow account with the following command line:
1awk -F: '$2 == "" { print $1, "has no password!" }' /etc/shadow
- Just in case someone else who has access to the superuser account decided to alter the password file and potentially make themselves a superuser. This is a method to check:
1awk -F: '$3 == 0 { print $1, "is a superuser!" }' /etc/passwd
- Setuid and Setgid files have the potential to be very hazardous if they are accessilbe by the wrong users on the system. Therefore it is handy to be able to check with files fall into this category.
1find /dir -xdev -type f -perm +ug=s -print
- World writable files can be left around by users wanting to make things easier for themselves. It is necessary to be careful about who can write to which files. To find all world writable files:
1find /dir -xdev -perm +o=w ! \( -type d -perm +o=t \) ! -type l -print
- Some attackers, prior to attacking a host, (or users nmaping a host) will check to see if the host is alive. They do this by 'ping'ing the host. In order to check if the host is up, they will use an ICMP echo request packet.
To disallow these types of packets, use iptables:1iptables -A INPUT -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request -j DROP
Patching Procedure vs. Exploitation PotentialThursday, January 25th, 2007
When you talk to many security experts, they pretty much agree that when a vulnerability hits, that it's necessary that it be patched and that its only a matter of time until the sh*t hits the fan and some real knowledgable black hat has put something together for the script kiddies to play with. But a lot of people seem to forget every time a patch is required on a production system that there is due process that system administrators must go through. One of the primary steps is simply evaluation.
The primary questions that needs to be evaluated are:
What is the likelihood of the vulnerability being exploited or the damage that could be caused if it is exploited?
How long will it take to apply the patch, test it, implement it, then deploy it to the production environment? What kind of impact will that have on the production servers in terms of outages/downtime? Will it break anything else?
Let's take some time to break these down. I have always found that the easiest way for most people to understand a problem is to use an example. I don't want to single out phpBB, but since it recently came up and spurred a necessary conversation, I will use it for my example. The advisory that I am referencing is available here from Bugtraq.
At one of the many websites I run, I administer a phpBB forum. The forum is relatively low volume, but high volume enough to attract spammers which means its likely that it also attracts hackers (of the black hat variety). The phpBB version is 2.0.21. For a few reasons, we have not only modified some of the source code of phpBB, but we have also added plugins. For anyone who has any experience adding plugins into phpBB, you know that its akin to chewing glass (to say the least). Even though we version track in CVS, it would still be somewhat of a PITA to update to 2.0.22. The process would be something along the lines of:
Import the new version into the old version with the changes into CVS. See if it makes sense to resolve the conflicts. If so, resolve the conflicts and begin testing. If not, figure out how to duplicate the changes in the previous version (2.0.21) in the new version (2.0.22). Once that's been done, then add the plugins that were installed in the old version into the new version. Come up with a transition plan for the production server. Back up the data and do a few test runs of the transition on the development box. Then schedule the outage time and do the turnover to the new server. Then pray everything goes ok for the transition. Simple, No?
The point of going through that lengthy explanation was to demonstrate that the upgrade process may not be as simple (in a lot of cases) as:
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
The exploit itself requires a user to create a shockwave flash file with certain parameters, then put it into a specific web page with certain parameters, and then it must be private messaged (emailed) to someone who is already signed into the board (has an active cookie).
Many security experts would tell you that, "It's a vulnerability, it needs to be patched immediately." Well, let's do that evaluation thing I was referring to earlier. How likely is it that someone is going to take the time to create that flash file. And even if someone does go to that trouble, what's to say that if a user (or the admin) receives the message in an email, that they are going to visit the site and watch the video?
My colleague was asserting that it's out there on the internet and needs to be protected. And to that extent, I certainly agree. However, the amount of time that it would take to make all those changes, test them, and deploy the changes to the production server far outweighs the possibility of the application being exploited.
When I first started out in security, I took the approach, "It's a vulnerability…Security at all costs." Now I have learned that sometimes one needs to balance out time vs. need vs. priority. So I encourage System Administrators to think before jumping into situations like that. Think of how much more work could be accomplished in the time that would have been spent trying to patch something that probably wouldn't have been exploited to begin with.
Configuring mod_security for EnGarde Secure LinuxWednesday, January 24th, 2007
This document is intended to guide a user through initially setting up and understanding a mod_security+Apache2 under EnGarde Secure Linux setup. Once you have completed reading this document, you should be able to understand the basics of mod_security, what it is used for, and why it may apply to you and your environment.
Why mod_security
The need for mod_security may not be initially apparent since we are all perfect programmers and rarely make a mistake that could prove hazardous to security. It may not be for you, but it is for the users of your servers who may not be as adept in creating web applications.
mod_security is a web application intrusion detection and prevention engine. It operates by 'hook'ing itself into apache and inspecting all requests for your specific ruleset. It can be used to monitor your server with logging or even protect it by "deny"ing attacks.
Skills Needed
You will need to have access to the WebTool and the GDSN Package Manager. You need to have shell access to the machine and the ability to use a text editor to make the necessary changes to the configuration files.
To install mod_security, go into the GDSN Manager in the Guardian Digital WebTool.
System -> Guardian Digital Secure Network
Module -> Package Management
Find the line that says libapache-mod_security and check the checkbox next to it. Click the Install Selected Packages button. Let the mod_security package install.
Now its time to configure the mod_security package. The first thing that has to be done is to add the configuration file for mod_security (that we are going to create) to the apache2 configuration file. To accomplish this, ensure that the following line is somewhere in your /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
Include conf/mod_security.conf
This ensures that when apache2 starts up, the configuration that you spcify in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf will be loaded.
Basic Configuration
Once you have installed mod_security, it's time for some basic configuration. In order to keep consistency, the mod_security.conf configuration file should be created in the /etc/httpd/conf/ directory. For a basic configuration (which we will walk through step-by-step), your /etc/httpd/conf/mod_security.conf file should looks as follows:
LoadModule security_module /usr/libexec/apache/mod_security.so <IfModule mod_security.c> SecFilterEngine On SecFilterDefaultAction "log" SecFilterCheckURLEncoding On SecFilterForceByteRange 1 255 SecServerSignature "Microsoft-IIS/5.0" SecAuditEngine RelevantOnly SecAuditLog /etc/httpd/logs/modsec_audit_log SecFilterDebugLog /etc/httpd/logs/modsec_debug_log SecFilterDebugLevel 0 </IfModule>
This directive turns on mod_security.
This directive decides what happens to a request that is caught by the mod_security filtering engine. In our case, we are going to log the request. By reading the documentation, you will find that there are many other options
available. By changing this line slightly (once you have logged and found out when and how the mod_security engine catches requests), you can deny requests and produce errors:
SecFilterDefaultAction "deny,log,status:404"
This line denies the request, logs it to your log files, and send the requester back a HTTP status code 404 (also known as Page Not Found).
This directive checks the URL to ensure that all characters in the URL are properly encoded.
This directive asserts which bytes are allowed in requests. The 1…255 specified in the example allows almost all characters. To bring this down to just the minimal ASCII character set, replace the above line with:
SecFilterForceByteRange 32 126
This directive can be used to attempt to mask the identity of the apache server. Although this method works well, it is not 100% effective as there are other methods that can be used to determine the server type and version. It should be noted that for this to work, the Apache2 configuration variable ServerTokens should be changed from Prod (default) to Full so the line reads as follows:
ServerTokens Full
This directive allows more information about the methods of an attacker to be logged to the specified logfile. To turn this on to log every request object use the syntax:
SecAuditEngine On
This is not very desirable as this produces a LOT of output. The more desirable version is the one used above:
SecAuditEngine RelevantOnly
This logs only the interesting stuff that may be useful in back tracing the methods of an attacker.
This is the location of the audit log file. It is generally preferred to use absolute paths to files to ensure the correct path is being used.
This directive refers to the debug level logged to the specified logfile. The current value of 0 should be used on production systems. While the environment is in testing, a level of 1..4 should be used with increasing
verbosity between from 1 up to 4.
This is the location of the audit log file. It is generally preferred to use absolute paths to files to ensure the correct path is being used.
We will add some lines to do some Selective filtering. Selective filters are used to handle some specific situations that cannot be targeted with site-wide policy. However you need to be careful of what you make site-wide policy since some of these security measures can break your current setup.
There are even more in depth uses where you can number rules and apply them to certain sets of directives and not to others. mod_security allows for very granular control. The in depth discussions on using these is beyond the scope of this document.
Since mod_security is a keyword driven engine, it will take the specified action on simple keyword matches. This is to say that anything that follows the directive SecFilter will engage the appropriate action. For example:
SecFilter ">applet"
If the <applet> tag appears anywhere in the request, then the log action specified above is taken.
XSS Attacks
To try to prevent some types of cross site scripting attacks, you can add the following lines to your configuration file:
SecFilter "<script"
SecFilter "<.+>"
This tries to prevent Javascript injections or HTML injections.
Directory Traversal
Rarely will it be necessary for a user to traverse directories using the "../" construct. In order to prevent that, we can add the line:
SecFilter "\.\./"
GET/HEAD Requests
With the use of these lines, we will not accept GET or HEAD requests that have bodies:
SecFilterSelective REQUEST_METHOD "^(GET|HEAD)$" chain
SecFilterSelective HTTP_Content-Length "!^$"
Unknown Requests
There are occasionally requests that come across (usually malicious) that we don't know how to handle. At that point we let mod_security handle the request by adding the following lines:
SecFilterSelective HTTP_Transfer-Encoding "!^$"
At this point, you should be capable of setting up a basic installation of mod_security. They are many more combinations of both simple and advanced techniques and directives that can be used to protect your server. By reading the documentation, you can have very granular control over your web server attack detection and prevention.

CLEVELAND – We don't throw tickertape parades on the streets around Public Square, the epicenter of this Rust Belt city. Why? We've had no reason for one. We had waited most of our lives for some success worthy of tickertape, but we won't need to wait a minute longer.
Our Cleveland Cavaliers and LeBron James, their top-shelf talent, did Sunday night what no Cleveland franchise since Jim Brown and the Browns had done back in 1964: They won a title.
Not that we didn't think LeBron would end that title drought – all 52 years of it. We had hoped from the moment he re-signed with the Cavs before last season that he would come bearing gifts, and the gift we longed for most was an NBA championship.
In our minds, we had earned a championship. We had sat and sulked over the disappointments that had cursed our city. They were baggage that kept us from being the city we should be. We had grown envious of our neighbors in Pittsburgh, Detroit and Cincinnati, cities that had celebrated titles and paraded their successes down their Main Streets.
For month after month, for season after season, for decade after excruciating decade, we had piled on memory atop memory of failures as if each were a rugby scrum since the December day in 1964 when our Browns reigned as NFL champions.
But us Baby Boomers from '64 – political militants, really — have given way to Generation Xers and now the damn Millennials. They have lived none of what we have lived; they recall none of the highlights of Brown and of the Browns holding Johnny Unitas and the Baltimore Colts scoreless.
We do. We remember Frank Ryan and his pinpoint passes to wide receivers Gary Collins and Paul Warfield, and we remember best your childhood hero: Jim Brown.
Now, five decades later, we know that kind of joy again. For the Cavaliers and LeBron, this millennium's Jim Brown, treated all of the generations to what this city had been waiting for, what it needed to be the big league city it pretended to be.
Sports teams, of course, don't make a city livable, but they do shape how people outside and even inside the city think about it. Success on the arena floor spells success in other aspects of city living. Success in sports imbues the place with pride, and even the most diehard of Clevelanders hasn't had much to take pride in here. We have been ever oh-so close over the years, tantalizingly close, too, with just one more game to win, just one more obstacle to get over Sunday night, just one more …
Yet this isn't the old Cleveland, you know? Its downtown is robust, flush with college students and single professionals with bankrolls big enough to afford $2,500-a-month rents. Though the city's schools remain a hot mess, its people have paused to pound their chests, to go to the top floor of Terminal Tower and scream: 'Cause we are the champions – of the world.
For some of us, any outcome other than defeat surprises us. It's what we had come to expect. We'd been chastened by the realities of rooting for hometown teams that break our spirits, and we'd made peace with the fact that their postseasons end in losses.
As we watched the last seconds of that Game 7 road win against the Golden State Warriors wind toward zeroes, we sat awed in front of our flat screens, our hearts in overdrive, ready to brag about LeBron and his greatness, about the first-place Indians, about next season for the Browns with the memory of how warm that Dec. 27, 1964, victory against the Colts still feels.
Now, we can store '64 under the category of yesteryear's memories, replacing it with fresh reflections of what happened Sunday.
I suspect this latest memory — this delicious, 92-89 victory against Stephen Curry and the Warriors — will not lead to some sort of label. It won't stand alongside all the nicknamed defeats that have hung over Clevelanders like me since 1964: The Fumble, The Drive, The Shot … and Jose Mesa's blown save and second baseman Tony Fernandez's fielding error in the 1997 World Series that made a city weep. And who in Cleveland can ever let go of the pain from "Red Right 88"? We had held on to those disappointments long enough.
We woke up Monday morning aglow, every detail of the victory in Technicolor, each LeBron dunk, each Tristan Thompson rebound, each Kyrie Irving jumper replayed over and over again in our minds.
Someday we will have another championship to take the place of the one from Sunday night. Maybe the Indians will do this fall what the Kansas City Royals did a season ago: shock the baseball world.
Yeah, maybe.
We don't have to cling to maybes anymore – not in this city. For we have peace of mind now; we don't need to sift through the disappointments and wonder aloud when we can celebrate a title.
How we have remained optimists is proof of our pluck, of our hardheadedness. Either that or we have thrived on what might destroy lesser folks: those endless failures.
We know now, however, that "Believeland" won't require a sequel, a film that dissects our city's string of defeats as the "30 for 30" documentary did those others with their ignoble nicknames.
Without belief, we had little on our side, even if relying too much on it might wear on a sports fan's psyche. But as a Cleveland fan, we knew what just being in the arena meant – the blood, the sweat and toil that come with competition at its highest.
And when that competition brings you victory, well … you've deserved that tickertape parade, awkward as putting one on might be.
In the next few days, if not later today, we will hear how preparations for that parade are going. We'll join LeBron, Kyrie and an army of Cavaliers fans on Public Square, a gathering that ought to trump what we'll see when the GOP convention visits town next month.
We'll reconstruct what the Silent Generation and Baby Boomers who followed them did in the winter of '64: salute a franchise that has thrust our city into the national spotlight.
Justice B. Hill, an assistant professor at Ohio University, is a former editor and sportswriter, and lifelong follower of sports teams in Cleveland.

"Burnout comes from trying to give what I do not possess." ~ Parker Palmer
Do you move through your day, running on empty, until you crash? There isn't a drop of energy left at the end of your day, not for you or your loved ones.
As a parent, I find it's natural to give of ourselves. We want the best for our kids, so we give, get, and do for them without even thinking about it. And if we aren't careful, we take on their problems as our own or give of ourselves until we are completely drained.
Of course, giving more of yourself than you give to yourself doesn't just happen in parenting, it can also be true for the workplace, in your marriage, and with your extended family. If you are taking on others problems, you probably feel overwhelmed, because you feel responsible without any authority to change the problem.
I think this leads to getting burned out on your life. Meaning if you are giving more of yourself than you reserve for yourself, you will probably end up irritable, tired, and simple things will stress you out.
Stress in the Context of Family Relationships
It's so important to not just think about reserving time for yourself, but also to think about the challenges you are up against in your family. How do others get you to do more for them? Do they convince you that they can't do it without you, or is a reality need that they can't do it for themselves? Or maybe you think no one will do it as well as you will. There are so many possible ideas and behaviors that would fuel taking on more than is our responsibility.
Of course eating well, exercising, and meeting your social needs will help you deal with stress. But if you don't figure out how you get depleted in the first place, you will keep having to relearn this lesson again and again. Good self care can be drained once you go home and start overdoing it again.
People, biochemicals, and hormones aren't the only thing that can get out of balance, so can relationships. What goes on inside a person impacts what goes on between people, and vice versa. Meaning what goes on between people also impacts what goes on inside a person.
This is why it's not enough to just carve out time for yourself, you also have to think about how you get yourself in a spot where you are revved up and others around you are stalled or idling. If you are doing it all, no one else has to think for themselves, nor experience consequences.
Questions to Spark Your Burnout Awareness
The first step in any change is to increase your awareness. So stop, slow down, and ask yourself these questions:
- How much do I want to be in service to others, and how much energy do I want to reserve for myself?
- How do others get me to do more for them (even when they can do it for his/herself)?
- What would it take for me to begin shifting this pattern (doing less even when others don't do more)?
Realizing you have more choices than you originally thought can be just the jump start you need to move from burnt out to thriving.
Relationships and emotions are complex. Schedule a consult today to discuss what you are learning about yourself and how your relationships impact your health.

Artex is a surface coating that produces a textured appearance on ceilings. To paint an Artex ceiling, you'll need to employ a particular application strategy because Artex is uncommonly porous and soaks up a large amount of paint. If you apply an initial diluted coat of paint you saturate the texture and create a surface more suited to an even coverage free of skips and streaks.

- 1
Remove all furniture and electronics from the room.
- 2
Cover the flooring with plastic dust sheets. Lay fabric dust sheets on top of the plastic ones. Protect surfaces on and adjacent to the Artex ceiling by covering them with a low-tack painter's tape.
- 3
Pour 9 litres of emulsion paint into the bucket. Dilute the emulsion paint by stirring in 120 ml of white spirit. Stir for five minutes.
- 4
Apply the diluted emulsion paint onto the Artex ceiling using the roller. Wait three hours for the first coat of diluted paint to dry.
- 5
Apply a coat of undiluted emulsion paint to the Artex ceiling.
Tips and warnings
- Wear goggles to prevent paint drips from getting in your eyes.
- Use a the latex paintbrush to paint areas of the Artex ceiling inaccessible to the roller.
- Read the label on your emulsion paint to ensure that it is oil-based. If the emulsion paint is water-based, add water instead of white spirit.
- Do not apply two coats of undiluted emulsion paint to an Artex ceiling, as this may result in a streaky finish.
- Read the safety guide on the side of the stepladder before you begin working.
- Diluted emulsion paint is prone to heavy dripping. Do not use a plain fabric dust sheet alone because paint may soak through onto the underlying floor. Do not use a plastic dust sheet alone, because paint drips may pool.

We've all heard of Blood Diamonds…right? Well now we have to be aware of Blood Ivory.
Majestic animals are being hunted and killed for their ivory. Killing for profit. So what's new? Not much. But we can't let ourselves become immune by desensitization. The Battle for the Elephants gives these beautiful beasts a voice.
Poaching is creating a dramatic effect on the elephant population in Africa. Humans are harmful in lots of ways but merely encroaching on the elephants territory is not the biggest concern. People are poaching the tusks for the valuable ivory. It's a crying shame in Tanzania. The animals are being brutalized for their tusks.
It would be similar to people being brutalized for their skin. If you take this commodity away from the living, breathing creatures, they'll die. People can't live without their skin and elephants can't survive without their tusks. It's horrible.
So, what can we do about it?
Awareness is the beginning. And, maybe think twice before buying anything with ivory in it.

Nigerian striker not upset over World Cup snub
Talented striker Ikechukwu Uche has said he's not upset with Nigerian soccer coach Stephen Keshi for leaving him out of the provisional 30-member World Cup squad.
Known for his acrobatic goal celebrations, Uche was omitted despite scoring 12 goals for Villarreal in the Spanish league this season.
"Of course as a professional soccer player, you would love to represent your country, but I have never had bad words towards the national coach," said the 30-year-old. "We spoke two weeks before the squad was announced to clarify certain things that had been written and said in the media. Most importantly, it was a very good discussion. It gives me great pleasure that there is no ill will towards anyone. I thank the coach for that. I also wish my teammates all the best in Brazil because we are all one family whether you are in the squad or not."
Uche has not played for Nigeria since they won the Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa last year.
Keshi, who has managed the Nigerian team since 2011, has been criticized for leaving Uche off the squad, but the player insists the focus should be on the team preparing for the World Cup.
"We should all rally around the team and support them in Brazil," said Uche. "The coach cannot select everyone available to represent Nigeria. I thank the fans and those passionately concerned about my omission. For me, those picked and those left out are also aware that the country's success is more important than personal glory. I will be supporting my country and I wish the team all the best."
In 44 appearances for Nigeria since 2007, Uche scored 18 goals.
Meanwhile, South Africa has expressed an interest in hosting the 2019 Women's World Cup.
They are not alone since England, France, Korea Republic and New Zealand have also declared an interest. Those four countries could be ahead in the bidding because South Africa is set to host the Under-20 Women's World Cup in 2016.
The International Soccer Federation (FIFA) would prefer the 2018 Under-20 Women's World Cup and the 2019 Women's World Cup to be hosted in the same country.
The sport's governing body said it has submitted the bidding documents which the relevant member associations have to sign and return before the FIFA executive committee assigns the 2019 tournament.
In addition, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Finland, Egypt, Sweden and Northern Ireland have declared their interest in hosting the Under-17 Women's World Cup in 2018.
The deadline for submitting the hosting agreement along with the signed bidding documents is October 31, 2014.
