Ice Gripper Program
As MSU is located in Montana, we have a long winter season, which results in snowy and icy walkways. To help MSU personnel stay safe, while walking in the winter time, Safety & Risk Management provides free ice grippers to employees. Ice grippers are the equivalent for studded tires for your feet. These devices are similar to slippers that slide over the outside of your shoe and can be easily put on and removed.
- Must be an MSU employee (anyone who receives a paycheck from MSU).
Eligible every three years for a new pair.
- *If ice grippers are worn out or missing studs, even if it's within three years, return to SRM for possible replacement (at the discretion of SRM).
Request your pair
(also for replacement studs and ice gripper evaluation)

Ingredient Trend: Coconut Butter. I'm starting to see more references to coconut butter which leads me to wonder if this thick, unctuous, and occasionally brittle and crumbly stuff might be about to have its moment in the spotlight.
It's already been discovered by the paleo and raw food people, but it seems to be making its way into more conventional recipes as well. What is coconut butter, and when and how should you use it? Coconut butter is simply the flesh of the coconut that has been ground until it liquifies (much like peanuts are ground into peanut butter). It is not coconut oil, which is an oil that has been extracted from the coconut flesh. One of the reasons why people like coconut butter is that it is a whole food product and includes the all the fat, fiber and nutrients of coconut and not just the extracted oil. Coconut butter is a saturated fat, but it is made entirely of medium chain fatty acids which means it can be absorbed directly into the bloodstream, making it an easily absorbed source of energy. New and Nourishing Nut Butters. Crunchy or smooth.
Unsalted or salted. Organic or conventional. These are choices we're up against when buying peanut butter at the grocery store. But there are some new kids in town that guarantee to liven up each and every sandwich you make. I love nut butters because they satisfy my sweet tooth in a way I don't necessarily feel guilty about and they pack a nice wallop of protein. I started making homemade Nutella about a year ago after realizing that the real stuff was full of hydrogenated oil. How to Make Homemade Nutella. I don't buy Nutella because, truthfully, I can't be trusted with it around the house.
I like it a little too much. But for some reason, when I make it at home and see the ingredients I'm using before me it doesn't seem all that bad. My nutella recipe is quick: no melting chopped chocolate or heating milk. How To Make Chocolate Ganache for Any Dessert. Chocolate ganache, that amazing chocolate concoction we use for everything from truffles to glazes and layer cakes, is a simple enough thing.
After all, it's just cream and chocolate, right? Well, yes and no! Knowing how to make chocolate ganache — thick or thin, whipped or smooth — requires understanding just two things: proportion and temperature. It's true: ganache is the simple process of introducing finely chopped chocolate to very warm cream, waiting a few minutes for the chocolate to melt, and then stirring until it blends together into a rich, shiny, beautiful mass. But success is always in the details, so let's take a closer look at some of the things to know and understand about making ganache. Understanding Proportion The chocolate ganache that glazes your cakes and pastries is the same chocolate ganache that you roll into truffles, with one very important exception: the proportion of cream to chocolate. How to Make Homemade Ricotta Cheese. Milk, lemon juice, and about half hour of your time — that's all you need to make a batch of fresh, creamy homemade ricotta.
You're not going to believe how easy and foolproof this is! And trust me, once you make your own ricotta, it's hard to go back to the stuff from the tub. When I say this only takes a half hour, I should clarify that most of that time is actually hands off. You bring the milk almost to a simmer, add lemon juice or vinegar, and then let it sit while you work on the rest of dinner. Another 10 minutes or so goes into straining the curds, and then the ricotta is ready for your lasagna, pizza, or whatever devious and delicious plans you have in store. How To Make Fresh Pasta from Scratch. This weekend, let's all solemnly swear to break out the dusty pasta maker that's been stashed away on a high shelf and get rolling.
Do you know how easy it is to make pasta at home? How To Make Homemade Peanut Butter. On some level, you probably already know that, sure, it's pretty easy to make your own peanut butter.
But if you've never actually made homemade peanut butter, I don't know if you quite understand how truly, incredibly, ridiculously easy it really is. Peanuts, meet blender. Blender, it's go time. Peanuts go through a few stages on their way to becoming spoonable, spreadable peanut butter. At first the mix looks impossibly crumbly and dry in the bottom of your food processor, but let the blender go a little longer and it starts resembling actual honest-to-goodness peanut butter. How To Make Soy Milk at Home. Fresh Blueberry Smoothie Making your own soy milk is fast, easy and most importantly delicious.
We've found dried organic soy beans on sale for as little as $.99 a pound so it makes a lot of economic sense too. The hardest part when making your own soy milk is knowing at least 8 hours before you want it. Otherwise, it's simply a matter of soaking the beans, tossing them in a blender with boiling water, and separating the okara (Japanese for bean curd) from the filtrate (this is the soy milk). Once you've got the soy milk, you can add a little sugar and enjoy it over cereal or by itself. What You Need. Spotlight Ingredient: Bee Pollen.
I've been searching for power-packed smoothie supplements to get me through the winter doldrums, and bee pollen keeps making an appearance in "superfood" lists.
I finally picked up a small bottle from the honey stand at my local farmer's market. Curious about these golden granules? Read on. Bee pollen (not to be confused with airborne pollen, which causes allergies and hay fever) is what results when honeybees pick up flower pollen granules, mix them with regurgitated honey or nectar, and pack them into "baskets" on their hind legs to take back to the hive.
Due to their impressive nutritional profile, bee pollen pellets have a serious superfood reputation. Because of this, bee pollen is best consumed raw to preserve as many nutrients as possible. 5 Tips for Making Ice Cream Without an Ice Cream Maker. Just about every recipe for homemade ice cream calls for an ice cream maker, but what if you don't have one?
Well, it certainly doesn't mean that homemade ice cream is out of the question for you! You don't actually need an ice cream maker to make a cool and creamy treat at home. Here are five ways to make ice cream without an ice cream maker. 1. Toasted Oats Are the Secret to Making the Best Steel-Cut Oatmeal Ever.

Tips for Making Better Smoothies in the Dead of Winter. The main ingredients in a decent smoothie—strawberries, blueberries, peaches—are a little hard to come by (or cost a fortune) this time of year.
And so far, we've yet to see a winning recipe made with apples. Of course, there's always frozen fruit, but we've got some other creative tips for making fresh, creamy smoothies in the bleak months ahead. • Bananas, bananas, bananas. They're good (and cheap) any time of year, but in winter, they're essential. Here's the thing: FREEZE THEM. . • Use all frozen fruit—not just berries. . • Add peanut butter or nuts. . • Use tofu. Green Smoothie Cups. Featured Ingredient: Avocado The most popular post I have had on this blog is for these Green Smoothie Cups. Apparently the health-conscious, smoothie-loving masses out there love the idea of having green smoothies ready to whirl with no assembly required. Coffee Chocolate Smoothies. Featured Ingredient: Coffee The most popular post on this blog is for these frozen green smoothie cups.
It seems that others are just as interested as I am in the possibility of whirling up quick smoothies without the fuss of pulling out numerous ingredients from the fridge and pantry. So I thought I would share another frozen smoothie cup recipe. Green Smoothie Cups. Featured Ingredient: Coconut Water Bored stiff of H2O? Try coconut water, now available in plastic bottles and tetra packs at a growing number of food stores, as a more lively alternative. Gleaned from young green coconuts (don't confuse it with coconut milk made from the pulp of mature nuts), coconut water has a tangy personality and one of the best natural sources of the blood pressure lowering electrolyte potassium.

Homemade vanilla extract takes just two ingredients — vanilla beans and alcohol — and you can be as straightforward or creative as you like. Though it does take a bit of patience as you wait for the alcohol to extract the flavor from the beans, the delicious results are well worth it.

I like cooking for friends. This week we have lots of lovely people coming to visit us and i am planning what to make. Planning menus used to take sometime as I tried to work out what dishes to cook. It is slightly easier these days.
My friends all like different types of food – some are vegetarian some are not, some like seafood, some don't, some can't eat gluten others can. This isn't a problem at all, there is a lot of vegetarian, gluten-free food which are delicious. But then I add me into the mix. I only like to eat what we grow – where-ever possible …. and realising that I am never ever giving up rice or bread … oh yes or soy sauce, lemons, chocolate, coffee, wine, etc etc etc (there are a lot of etceteras) …. but you know where I am going with this.
So what is there to eat in December?
Well we have cabbages, brussel sprouts, celeriac, carrots, leeks, parsley, the odd bunch of broccoli and some crappy celery that is OK for soups in the garden. We have no winter salad leaves as despite planting some rocket etc (and spinach) in the greenhouse, it didn't really work – I blame book-induced neglect – what can I say?
We also have squash, potatoes, and a handful of onions in storage. Oh and our dried borlotti beans
In the freezer there is cauliflower, broccoli, tomatoes, beans, pesto, various types of soft fruit and plums.
And then there is our chicken, lamb, pork, eggs, and milk from Iggy Pop.
I reckon we have enough to make some veritable feasts.
So tomorrow I am thinking of a Moroccan theme: houriya (a carrot dip) with some slow cooked borlotti beans and flat bread to start, chicken, preserved lemon and olive tagine, and maybe a clementine sorbet with a splash of cointreau on top.
At the weekend I have so far settled on a couple of curries for one evening – maybe onion bahjis, lamb shank madras, lentil daal, spicy cabbage, yoghurt and then damson crumble and home-made ice-cream for afters. Another dinner will be a roast chicken, cauliflower and broccoli cheese, roast potatoes, carrots and buttery cabbage and then chocolate mousse. and I am probably going to make a squash risotto with slow-cooked borlotti beans on the side and maybe a cabbage and apple salad for starters, I haven't quite worked it all out yet.
Do you have any favourite dishes using winter vegetables?
Actually do you have any ideas for using up a lot of cabbage?
Yesterday we had our usual Christmas pizza – this year there was a smear of pesto and tomatoe sauce from the freezer, some cooked leeks and onions, home-made mozzarella and some leftover olives and jalepeno peppers from the back of the fridge. As a nod to Christmas we had a brussel sprout, apple and toasted almond salad. We also had a lot of home-made chocolate chip ice-cream made with Iggy Pop's milk – and some cream – I still haven't worked out how to make ream from her milk yet – I suspect I need a lot more milk to do that.
N.B. The alpacas have had the rest of the brussels!

GET your wellies on and head down to Bricket Wood Common to enjoy some of the wonderful wintry woodland
and heathland perfect for all ages to explore and delight at.
Situated between Mount Pleasant Lane and School Lane in the village of Bricket Wood two miles south of St Albans, the common is a place of natural beauty.
Wet heathland and acid grassland
What makes Bricket Wood Common so special? According to the countys Countryside Management Service its all about the soil.
Its wet boulder clay which is hopeless for farming but, when trees are cleared, heather, gorse and other special plants thrive here.
Some areas are wet and others free draining which means a real mix of habitats including bogs, heath, acid grassland, streams and ponds.
Woodland and coppice
In the woods you will find mysteriously shaped beech and oak trees and an area of coppiced hornbeam trees which give clues to the commons past.
Coppicing is a way of regularly harvesting timber. Hornbeam is normally cut every 25 years and in each wood only a section is cut every year. When it happens the light floods in which encourages the cut stumps and wild flowers to grow, creating a variety of new habitats.
Start walking
Getting there: Car parking is limited so why not take the train? The Common is a five-minute walk from Bricket Wood station on the line between Watford and St Albans Abbey station.

Looks can be deceiving. Very deceiving.
The Abarth 500 SS starts out in life as a cute little Italian car, with a sole purpose of nipping about the narrow cobbled streets of Rome as it's owners sip Lattes all day. Then a small Italian car performance company called Abarth intervene and proceed to cleanse the Fiat 500 of it's posh, caffeine-sipping traits, and turn it into a blue-blooded turbocharged performance vehicle, without making it intolerable to live with on a day-to-day basis. These changes include: Engine performance upgrades, lower and stiffer suspension, new brake disks and pads, new rims and performance tyres.
If I may, I'd like to talk first about the engine, because it's an absolute peach. It produces 160bhp and 230 torques which, granted, isn't a lot by performance car standards but it's an astonishing achievement when you consider that it's powered by a tiny 1.4L four cylinder turbocharged engine, which will propel you to a top speed of 211km/h (131mph) and will do 0-60 mph in just over 7 seconds.
It may be the slowest car in Assetto Corsa's range of official content, but don't think for a second that it's in anyway boring. In fact, this is arguably one of the most fun cars you'll ever drive in any consumer simulator currently on the market. Adding more and more horsepower doesn't necessarily make a car any better. It's not about how large the performance numbers are, it's about whether or not those numbers add up to an enjoyable driving sensation, and that's very much the case with this car. Take last weeks Pagani Huayra for example, it's stupidly fast, and has more power than an aircraft carrier, but the fact remains that it simply isn't as nice to drive as the 500 Abarth.
The feeling you get from the force feedback is tremendous! You can feel everything that is happening with the car at any given moment in time. You're able to sense and catch oversteer, feel the transfer of weight as you brake hard and turn in, and when the rear end starts to waggle about, you simply put your foot down and the front wheel drive will sort it out quick smart. The steering is light, responsive and sharp, even though it has somewhat of a deadzone in the middle, which allows for some play in the wheel without actually turning the car, however this is a common trait among most road cars.
The gearbox is a 5-speed H-pattern that works just as you'd expect, however, you often find yourself willing the little car to go faster because some of the gears feel slightly too long for a car with this amount of power. Most notably 3rd and 5th gear, where the car tends to get bogged down and there's nothing you can really do except keep your right foot hard down and pray that the turbo charger will do it's thing by breathing some life into the engine. The longer gears do at least allow for better fuel economy, so there's that.
Setup-wise there isn't a huge amount you can change, which is to be expected with a road car. The biggest thing you can change to improve lap times, apart from the piece of meat sitting behind the wheel, is the tyres. The Abarth comes stock fitted with standard Pirelli performance "street tires" which are handy enough, however, you're also able to fit an even better set of "Semi-slick" tires which, depending on the track, can find you anywhere between 2 and 3 seconds per lap. On top of this performance benefit, the semi-slicks don't overheat or wear out as quickly as the standard street tires, which means you can push harder for longer.
Without a doubt, the biggest downside to the 500 Abarth is the sound. At best, they're underwhelming. In it's current build, it sounds more akin to that of a high speed lawnmower rather than a 160bhp high performance vehicle. Having said that, it's probably not fair of me to criticize this aspect of the car as Kunos are working on new audio samples for all cars in Assetto Corsa (just take the Z4 GT3 or the Shelby Cobra for a spin and you'll see what I mean). Having said that, once the new samples are released, don't expect this thing to sound like Satan gargling rusty nails either. Remember, it's only a 1.4L four cylinder Fiat engine, so we're not going to be breaking any decibel records here.
The interior styling also isn't hugely imaginative or creative. It's much the same as with most hot-hatch backs of today's generation, there's a steering wheel, a gear stick, air vents, all the buttons are where you'd expect them to be and they all do the usual things. There's also a coloured perspex dashboard-insert that changes colour depending on which livery you choose which is often refreshing, and can change the mood of the cockpit area. The door handles also look very stylish with their chrome-plated handles... If you're in to that sort of thing.
Driving-wise, it has 1 traction control setting and it's largely an annoyance. You're better off just turning off the TC all together. You'll be quicker, and the car drives better with it turned off.
Next to the speedometer, you'll see a turbo boost gauge which peaks out at just over 1.2 BAR of boost, which for a 1.4L engine is mighty impressive. It also acts as a shift indicator to tell you when to change gears. Speaking of changing gears, oddly, Fiat decided against putting the gear stick on the floor, where you'd usually find it in most cars, instead they've sort of incorporated it into the dashboard. Thankfully on the virtual race track, this makes no difference.
All in all, this is a brilliant little car. It may not be as fast or powerful as a supercar, but in terms of generating an exciting driving sensation, it's second to none, especially when there's 22 of them all battling for the same piece of tarmac. It's this same driving sensation that allows you to look past it's flaws and enjoy the car for what it is: Hot-Hatchery in it's purest form.
Combine all of this in to a car that weighs just over a ton, and is about the size of your average pencil eraser, and you'll come away with a car that is undoubtedly one of the hottest hatchbacks ever made, and easily one of the best FWD cars in all of sim-racing.
3 out of 5 stars.
This Latte's got some punch!

See the interview transcript here.
Wissenschaftliche Buchgesellschaft, the publishing company for the German edition of The Pope and Mussolini, produced a trailer for the book, coinciding with David Kertzer's presentation at the German biennial conference of historians in Hamburg in September. Watch the trailer here (in English with German subtitles).
The violence that erupted in Rome in 1848, the hasty flight of a frightened pope into exile, and the proclamation of the end of the Papal States were among the most dramatic and consequential events of the nineteenth century. Yet today they are practically unknown outside scholarly circles. The story told in The Pope Who Would Be King is central to understanding Europe's rocky path to democracy, and the ending of the papacy's role as a pillar of reaction. It heralded the death knell of rule by divine right in the west and was a crucial step in the struggle to separate church and state. Modern Europe as we know it could finally emerge.

Bologna, 1858: A police squad, acting on the orders of the Inquisitor, invades the home of a Jewish merchant, Momolo Mortara, wrenches his crying six-year-old son from his arms, and rushes him off in a carriage bound for Rome. His mother is so distraught that she collapses and has to be taken to a neighbor's house, but her weeping can be heard across the city. With this terrifying scene--one that would haunt this family forever--David I. Kertzer begins his fascinating investigation of the dramatic kidnapping, and shows how this now obscure saga would eventually contribute to the collapse of the Church's temporal power in Italy.
On MSNBC's Morning Joe Show, David Kertzer discusses the role of the papacy in politics, both today, as Pope Francis addresses climate change, and, as described in his Pulitzer Prize-winning book, The Pope and Mussolini, in the past, when Pope Pius XI, a religious figure, made a deal with Mussolini, a political one. Watch the video here.
Moritz Oppenheim's painting, "The Kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara," has triggered international interest. Its sale for over $400,000. at an auction at Sotheby's in New York on December 17 is discussed in this article in The Tablet Magazine.

Organisms are shaped by their environment: they must survive and thrive under current conditions, and they must anticipate future changes in these conditions. Usually the environment is understood as a combination of abiotic (e.g., weather, nesting opportunities) and biotic factors (e.g., social environment, food availability, predation pressure). But in addition, animals interact with a hidden environment or ecosystem, one comprising all sorts of microbial life. These microbial ecosystems can be a trait of the broader environment in which an animal lives, a trait of an animal hosting the microbial ecosystem, or some combination of the two
The gut microbiome is one of the better studied host-associated microbial ecosystems. Gut microbiota have complex symbiotic relationships with their hosts, and exert many profound and beneficial effects on their host. Gut microbes are important for development, immune function, digestion and metabolism, and they even can influence behaviour (the gut-brain-axe). On its turn, the host influences its gut microbe community via genotype, phenotype, behaviour (e.g., hibernation) and especially diet.
The complex interactions between host and microbiome have led to the introduction of the 'holobiont' (host plus all associated microbiota) and 'hologenome' (collective microbiota plus host genome) concepts. These concepts assume that the holobiont is the unit upon which natural selection acts. Following this, microbiomes should vary among hosts, be consistent within individuals, and be heritable; all having important evolutionary implications.
We aim to investigate how the gut microbiome impacts the ecology and life history of their hosts, with the focus on birds. Our main projects involve:

Recently we saw pictures of Kylie Jenner in Crisp-brand briefs which belonged to her rumored boyfriend Tyga. And she looked extremely stunning and hot as she flaunted her curvy figure on Instagram.
Kylie Jenner and Tyga have yet not made an official announcement that the duo are dating. And they are not making it public that they are into a serious relationship at the moment.
However, their actions reveal everything out loud to the world. We recently checked into Kylie's Instagram account and noticed that she had posted pictures where she was seen wearing his underwear.
The reality star decided to flaunt her beautiful body and was into the fashion show mood. Thus, she decided to go on with his 'core collection' underwear, which in fact, looked extremely cool on her.
It is rumored that The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star is presently dating Tyga, 25, and they have been into a relationship since several months. She had also worn Spanx-style underwear and a push-up bra.
She took a little break last week from social media. And she returned with a storm with these pictures where her pictured read, 'Not doing s***'!
Kylie has even more than 43million followers on Instagram and she is trying to highlight the rapper's luxury undergarments. Back in the month of January she was seen flogging a flower-patterned pair.

Adding a floor to an attic can increase storage space or create a new room. Before you start creating a floor for your attic, you must make sure that it can handle the additional load. Then, you'll need to build a grid-like structure that can hold up the plywood flooring. If you plan carefully and get the right materials, you can install a floor in your attic.
Part 1 of 3:
Preparing Your Attic
1Call professionals to determine if your ceiling can carry the load. You must make sure that your ceiling trusses will be able to handle the load of the new floor and the weight from storage or people walking around.[1] X Research source Call contractors in your area and get multiple quotes for adding a floor. This will give you an idea of whether you'll need to make structural changes before you can add the floor.
- Adding a new floor to weak attic trusses may interfere with the structural integrity of your house and can cause your ceiling to cave in.
2Measure the space where you want to lay the floor. Use a tape measure to measure the length and width of where you want to place the flooring. Measure perpendicularly across the existing floor trusses. Write down the measurements after you take them.[2] X Research source
- The subfloor that you will install must run perpendicularly across the existing attic trusses to distribute the weight across multiple trusses.
- When measuring in your attic, make sure you are only putting your body weight on the trusses. If you step on a piece of drywall you may go through it.
3Measure the space around obstructions. You'll also want to measure the spaces around electrical outlets, equipment, or ceiling joists. You'll have to create the flooring around these obstructions, so take accurate measurements of each one.
- You may also want to consider adding a partial floor for storage rather than flooring your entire attic.
4Clear away insulation. Sometimes, insulation will cover up the ceiling trusses. You'll need to use the trusses to support the new subfloor that you're going to install. Remove the insulation and set it aside.[3] X Research source
- Wear long sleeves, thick pants, and a respirator when removing the insulation to prevent inhaling dust and debris.
Part 2 of 3:
Creating the Subfloor
1Determine how many boards you need to create your subfloor. A subfloor is a grid of boards that will support your plywood flooring. Take the measurements of where you want to add flooring and calculate how many boards you'll need if you lay boards 16 inches (40.64 cm) apart. You'll also need two additional boards to close the frame on both ends of your subfloor.[4] X Research source
- For instance, if your floor is 6x6 feet (182.88x182.88 cm) large, you'll need a total of five 6 foot (182.88 cm) long boards that run across the trusses, as well as two 6 foot (1.8 m) (182.88 cm) long boards to cap off both ends of the subfloor.
2Measure and cut boards to size. Go to a hardware store and purchase 2x4x100 inch (5.08x10.16x254 cm) boards. Measure and mark the length of the boards so that they run across the attic trusses. Use a handsaw or circular saw to cut the boards to your measurements. If your boards aren't long enough, cut multiple boards. Continue to cut the boards until you have enough boards to lay your subfloor. [5] X Research source
- If you have to cut multiple boards, make sure your boards meet on a truss so that both ends have support. Screw a piece of wood onto the side of the truss to give your subfloor ends even more support.
- You should purchase a couple of extra boards in case you accidentally make an incorrect cut.
3Lay the boards perpendicularly across the trusses. Lay the boards so that the thin 2-inch (5.08 cm) side is laying on the top of the ceiling truss. Line up your boards and use a level to make sure that it's level with the ceiling trusses.
4Screw the boards into the ceiling joists. Use an electric screwdriver to screw through the sides of the boards, down into the ceiling trusses. This will attach your frame or subfloor to the trusses and will prevent potential damage to the interior ceiling, which typically can't carry a heavy load.[6] X Research source
- Do not use a hammer or you may damage the underlying ceiling.
- Be particularly cautious of any electrical wires that may be sitting on top of trusses. Avoid screwing through them. Ask an electrician to relocate the wires if necessary.
5Continue screwing boards perpendicular to the joists. Lay the next set of boards 16 inches (40.64 cm) away from your original board. Line the new boards so that they run parallel to the first set of boards that you screwed into.
6Cap off the ends of your subfloor with boards. Now that you have boards lined up across the trusses, you can cap off each end of the subfloor with boards on each end. Line up 2x4 inch (5.08x10.16 cm) thick boards on each end of the grid and screw them into the existing boards that you laid. Once you have boards screwed into the entirety of the floor, the attic should look like a grid.[7] X Research source
7Place the insulation back in between the ceiling trusses. Now that the subfloor is finished, you can replace the insulation that you set aside. Place the insulation in between the new subfloor boards. Your plywood floor should not push the insulation down.[8] X Research sourceAdvertisement
Part 3 of 3:
Laying Plywood Flooring
1Measure the plywood and attic door. Purchase half-inch (1.27 cm) thick plywood to act as your flooring. You'll need to make sure that the plywood can fit through your attic door. Take the measurements for your subfloor and measure enough plywood so that you can cover the entire frame.[9] X Research source
- It's a good idea to rip long, thinner strips of plywood that will fit through the attic door.
- You may have to cut the flooring into multiple pieces to cover the entirety of your subfloor.
2Cut the plywood. Use a handsaw or a circular saw to cut the plywood to your measurements. Make sure that the edges of the plywood are straight as you do this. Keep in mind that the plywood floor will have to fit around outlets and obstructions. Take the measurements that you took earlier and measure and cut out spaces so that your plywood can fit against the obstructions.[10] X Research source
3Screw the plywood into the subfloor. Place four screws into each corner of the plywood, making sure to line it up with the boards on the subfloor. The plywood should be laying on top of the subfloor with no overhang. Once the boards are in place, place more screws placed 16 inches (40.64 cm) apart to hold the plywood to the subfloor frame. Once you're done laying down all of the plywood, your attic floor is finished.Advertisement
Community Q&A
QuestionDo you absolutely need a subfloor? Can you use the current floors as is?Community AnswerIf you have a conventional home built within the last 30 years and all you want to do is make a small section of attic storage than no, you can put plywood directly on the trusses. Use 3/4 inch plywood.
- Don't just rely on a flashlight while working in your attic. Get an extension cord so taht you can bring in a hanging light.Thanks!
- During the warmer months, attics can get very hot. Be sure to stay hydrated and avoid working in hot environments for extended periods.Thanks!
- If you intend to paint your plywood floor, be sure to select a heavy-duty paint (oil-based or acrylic latex paint), to enable the paintwork to withstand the constant buffeting from being walked on.Thanks!
Things You'll Need
- Tape measure
- Respirator
- Pad and paper
- 2x4-inch thick boards
- ½-inch thick plywood
- Electric screwdriver
- Circular saw or handsaw

About This Article
To floor an attic, you'll need to install a sub-floor for support before laying your plywood floor. First, you'll need to measure the area you want to floor so you can calculate how much wood you'll require. You'll have to construct a wooden frame or sub-floor with boards 16 inches apart to provide extra support for the floor. Once the frame is complete, you can install the insulation in between the trusses. Then, you'll need to cut 1/2 inch plywood boards to size and screw them down to the sub-floor until you've covered the entire area. For tips on how to attach your subfloor to your trusses safely, keep reading!

Why is Research Important?
So, what exactly is a pizza stone? A pizza stone is a cooking surface made of clay, stone, ceramic, cast iron or steel. These materials are an attempt at mimicking a stone pizza oven and guarantee a restaurant-quality base with every use. With so many kitchen appliance manufacturers on the market, it is no surprise that there is an array of pizza stones to chose from. Pizza stones differ in size, shape, and material and each factor affects the finished pizza result. We have compared the best pizza markets on the market so you can decide which pizza stone best suits your lifestyle. Read on for more!
Why was The Original Baking Steel- The Original Ultra Conductive Pizza Stone Our Editor's Choice?
Not only does this pizza stone helps to cook pizzas in a much faster time than other pizza stones on the market but with this product, cleaning time is also reduced. Although it is not suitable for washing machine use, it can be easily cleaned with soap and water. Aside from that, this pizza stone was simply the pizza stone that produced the best results. After 9 minutes in the oven, home-made pizzas had perfectly crisp crusts time and time again. The texture was chewy and the toppings were perfectly melted! Priced at $89 it doesn't come cheap but, in this case, you get what you pay for.
Why do we Recommend the Old Stone Oven Round Pizza Stone?
It is no surprise that this pizza stone rated so highly seeing as Old stone are widely considered to be one of the best manufacturers of pizza stones on the market. We particularly liked the fact that the stone features eight circular feet which ensures that the stone is balanced on the oven rack. This means that you don't need to worry about your pizza toppings sliding off the pizza and dirtying your oven which happens with so many other pizza stones on the market. Finally, priced at just under $40 this is a durable product that is worth every cent.
Why Did We Compare the Love This Kitchen The Ultimate Rectangular Pizza Stone?
Aside from the shape which really stood out for us, we really enjoyed the fact that The Ultimate Rectangular Pizza Stone uses a patent-pending no-spill stopper. This means that the pizzas will never slide off the stone when trying to remove it from the over which is a common frustration for so many pizza stone users. What's more, the TermaShock technology means that you are able to place pizza dough onto the stone straight from the fridge as well as making frozen pizzas as crispy the homemade version. That, alongside the fact that this pizza stone costs just under $40 means that it is one of the most popular pizza stones on the market!
What Stands Out About Pizzacraft 15" Square ThermaBond Baking/ Pizza Stone?
Aside from the stylish beige coloring, we also loved how easy it is to care for the Pizzacraft 15" Square ThermaBond Baking/ Pizza Stone. Firstly, because of the impressive thermal shock technology, there is no need to soak the stone in water before use. In addition, you all you need to is run the stone under warm water once cooled whilst scrubbing with a brush. If you repeat this process after each use then you will have no problem with the stone's durability. Finally, priced at under $30, this pizza stone is best for those looking for a good quality pizza stone on a budget.
What's Great About the Lodge 14 Inch Cast Iron Baking Pan?
All in all, this product is one of the best that we tested. We love the stylish yet practical loop handles that make it much easier to work with this kitchen device. What's more, it has great heat retention and is super durable thanks to the cast iron material. Another great aspect about this device is the fact that is seasoned with 100% vegetable oil as opposed to synthetic coating or chemicals. Therefore, the more you use the iron, the more effective the seasoning will become.
Why is The Black Ceramic Pizza Stone by Heritage Products a Good Option?
The Black Ceramic Pizza Stone by Heritage Products is without a doubt one of the best pizza stones that we tried. Not only does it bake pizzas to perfection, but the crust is crispy and the toppings remain soft. What's more, it heats up twice as quickly as other pizza stones on the market, is super easy to clean (saving you time) and comes with a lifetime warranty too! So, what are you waiting for?
Is the GOVOG Pizza Stone for Oven Good Value for Money?
This pizza stone is made from cordierite material which ensures that the crust is delightfully crispy with every bite. It heats evenly meaning that it's not only great for pizza but great for baking cookies and bread too! We love that it works well with most kind of grills as well as indoor and outdoor BBQ ovens too. What's more, it comes with a cutter and a rack to making it even more convenient and time-saving too! Finally, it's durable and the perfect tool to provide filling, tasty meals for your family.
How to Make Pizza!
For many, pizza is a lifesaver. Not only does it take no time at all to bake to perfection but after a bad day, biting into that cheesy, crispy perfection can be the only thing to remind you exactly what is right in the world. Like with any cuisine, the home-made version is always the best and pizza fanatics seem to be for ever in debate about their all-time favorite recipe!
Although many claim to hold the key to the perfect pizza recipe, not many are aware of the ultimate tips. After many years of trial and error, we have discovered that no matter what recipe you use, one of the most crucial pieces to the puzzle is how much flour you add to the dough. So many times, we have seen people produce dough that seems to have a dried-out texture to it because they are adding too much flour. On the other hand, if you don't add enough flour, you'll produce a dough with a much gooier texture that also won't work.
However, with this recipe it's important to remember that less is actually more. It's important that you don't keep adding flour until the dough fails to be sticky as this could mean that your base will be too dry and crumbly. If the dough is sticking everywhere then you're doing a great job! Even if it sticks everywhere when you roll it out then this is actually a good sign. After all, once it rises it won't be as sticky and you will always be able to add a touch more flour to shape and roll it. Although it might take a bit of practice, it's definitely worth it!
All-purpose flour (6 cups)
Instant Yeast (3 teaspoons)
Salt (2 teaspoons)
Sugar (1/4 cup)
Vegetable oil (1/4 cup)
Warm water (2 1/2 cups)
Step 1: Combine water sugar and yeast and allow it to froth. If it doesn't froth, toss the mixture and wait.
Step 2: Now it's time to combine the salt and the flour. Add it to the mixture slowly, around 1/2 a cup at a time.
Step 3: Once this is complete the dough should be slightly sticky. It is normal if it sticks to the sides of your mixer so simply scrape it away with a spatula. If you add more flour, make sure that it's only a pinch!
Step 4: Grease a large bowl with vegetable oil and scrape the dough into the bowl too.
Step 5: Grease your hands and turn the dough to ensure that it is covered in oil
Step 6: Cover the dough with a towel and allow it to rise until it has doubled in size.
Step 7: Sprinkle flour onto your work surface and start pulling the dough up and down on the surface. Using floured hands will make the process easier.
Step 8: Form a smooth ball on one side and turn the ball over so the top is smooth too.
Step 9: Divide the dough into 3 equal balls, roll them out and sprinkle with your favorite toppings!
This recipe will make 3 balls of dough but if you plan on only consuming 1 or 2 pizzas then you can refrigerate the dough until needed. However, it's important to ensure that you still make your pizza within 24 hours of making the dough as it will still continue to rise, even when refrigerated.
Finally, when baking your pizza, it's always best to use a pizza stone. On the whole, they are affordable and make a huge difference! Customers even claim to have used their pizza stone over 100 times and see results as good as they did on their first try!
Bottom Line
Pizza stones are great at handling extreme heats and producing evenly baked pizza as there are never any hotspots. There is no denying that investing in a pizza stone will enhance the way that you share a delicious homemade pizza with family and friends but which pizza stone to invest in is a different story. We chose The Original Ultra Conductive Pizza Stone from The Original Baking Steel as our Editor's Choice thanks to the fact that it stores up to 18x more energy than other ceramic pizza stones, allowing you to enjoy crispier crusts time and time again. Should you have any questions, please free to email us at any time!

National Guard: Bin Laden's Death Huge Boost For Troops
N.M. National Guard Chief Expects Rise In Military Enlistment
Osama bin Laden's death could have a profound impact on the military in New Mexico, a military official said.
Gen. Kenny Montoya, leader of the New Mexico National Guard, said bin Laden's death could boost the number of locals who want to enlist in the military, noting that it could also change the way troops are trained.
"We have all felt a sense of mission accomplished for that one goal," Montoya said.
Montoya said they are anticipating possible retaliation. In fact, Montoya said the local guards' medevac unit with 66 soldiers has already left for Afghanistan to save lives during what could be a tumultuous few months.
"Spring time is when the bad guys come down from the mountains. It's not just the Taliban," Montoya said.
Montoya, however, said they're prepared. The National Guard were initially trained to fight terrorists from the air, but they switched to fight the enemies from the ground, a change which Montoya said will stick for years to come.
"I believe in 10 to 15 years, it will be the same type of threat," Montoya said.
Officials at the National Guard said bin Laden's death could actually prick New Mexicans' interest in joining the military.
"That college student or that high school kid is going to say, 'This country is great, and I want to serve,'" Montoya said.
Montoya said with bin Laden's death, military prospects will know it's possible to accomplish a goal.
"Putting this uniform does mean keeping our word," Montoya said.

The Art Of War - Pacific Style
The Waikato Museum collection contains an array of Pacific weaponry gruesome enough to strike fear into anyone's heart, writes Crystal Ardern.
The island nations of the Pacific are lauded for their stunning beauty, the landscape, the culture, the people.
It's not often you associate them with gruesome battles and fierce weapons. But delve into the ethnology collection at the Waikato Museum and you'll find a host of Pacific weaponry, fashioned from wood, stone, bone, teeth, spikes and claws, and capable of inflicting some serious injury. A "Killing Axe" from Papua New Guinea is one such object.
It was donated to the museum by Jessie Waugh in 1974, who had collected the axe and other artefacts while serving as an aid to a missionary of the Apostolic Church. She noted that all of the objects she donated were from the Winga Village in the Mt Hagen region. The axe resembles more of a pick to Western eyes, and is made from wood and the claw of a maruk bird. A maruk is a large emu-type bird, a capable killer that is highly prized in New Guinea for its sharp beak and claws. A maruk claw has been bound to the spike of this axe, and is used to pierce the skull. A quick clock to the back of the head with this baby and you wouldn't be around much longer!
Bows and arrows from Papua New Guinea are also in the collection, and have all been beautifully woven, crafted and decorated from a mixture of bamboo, pandanus, wood, cane rattan and ochre dye.
Spike-tipped arrows and pronged spears from the Solomon Islands are fascinating pieces. Echidna spines have been added to the ends of the arrows in order to inflict pain, as if the sharp arrowhead wasn't enough! Spears from Papua New Guinea also feature echidna spines, and are carefully decorated and designed, one is even interlocking.
The knuckle-dusters or fighting pads in the collection from Kiribati are a particularly nasty number. Known as a clawing weapon, the knuckle-dusters are studded with shark's teeth and can cause painful injury, as attackers use a "hit and drag" method of dragging the teeth along the flesh in combat.
The face was often a target, as was the soft tissue around the stomach.
The people of Kiribati seem to be fond of shark's teeth, as they are also responsible for the "te rere" or fighting sword. About the size of a knife, it appears fragile but is capable of inflicting serious injury. As the attacker raises the te rere, the defendant instinctively raises his arm in protection. The attacker then has access to slash the soft underarm. A larger te rere would have more mature shark's teeth and is capable of cutting to the bone.
Patu, clubs and spears from Polynesia all feature in the collection.
A spear from Samoa, believed to be ceremonial has been carefully carved with symmetrical barbs. Made of ironbark, this short spear (1.2m) was donated to the museum in 1968 by another missionary, Sister M C Roberts who served in the Pacific Islands for many years.
These weapons all seem brutal, yet curiously, it appears that even in Pacific battle we find Pacific beauty. The fine craftsmanship and attention to detail make these weapons that span Polynesia, Micronesia and Melanesia truly ornate and elaborate objects, that reflect the beauty of their homes and makers.

Country singer Willie Nelson will perform at Silver Springs State Park on Feb. 1, the night he was originally scheduled to kick off SeaWorld Orlando's Bands, Brew & BBQ Festival.
Nelson pulled out of the SeaWorld gig last after protests inspired by "Blackfish," a 2013 documentary that's critical of the theme park's handling of killer whales.
Instead, Nelson will be the first musician in a concert series at the state park, which is undergoing new redevelopment efforts with kayak and canoe tours.
"We look forward to presenting more high-quality concerts like Willie Nelson as we continue to restore this phenomenal resource as one of Florida's premier ecotourism destinations," said Bobby Genovese, chairman of BG Capital Group, which is presenting the concerts.
Tickets are $35 and available via Ticketmaster.com.
The park will open at 6 p.m. with singer Sasha Dobson performing at 6:45 p.m. Willie Nelson and Family take the stage at the state park's Twin Oaks Amphitheatre at 8 p.m.
Earlier this week, country star Trace Adkins said he had canceled a planned concert at SeaWorld, becoming the ninth performer to back out of Bands, Brew & BBQ. The first act to pull out were Barenaked Ladies, but others, including Heart, Trisha Yearwood, Martina McBride and REO Speedwagon followed suit.

Victory for Same-Sex Marriage in Europe
Claibourn Hamilton and Adrian Coman. Romania is one of six EU member states to not recognize same-sex marriage.
PHOTO CREDIT: Vadim Ghirda/AP via The Guardian
Last month, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruled that all countries in the European Union must recognize the rights of same-sex spouses. There are currently six countries in the European Union that do not legally recognize same-sex relationships: Romania, Poland, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Lithuania, and Latvia. The recent ruling means that although same-sex couples still cannot get married in those six countries, they can be married elsewhere and when they return, their home country must recognize their marriage and the rights of their spouses to residency.
This case came about when a same-sex couple consisting of a Romanian national and an American tried to live together in Romania. Although they had been living together outside the country for years and were in fact legally married in Brussels in 2010, the Romanian government refused to grant residency to the American husband. They claimed he could not be classified as a spouse since their country did not allow for gay marriage.
"We can now look in the eyes of any public official in Romania and across the EU with certainty that our relationship is equally valuable and equally relevant, for the purpose of free movement within the EU." ~ Adrian Coman via The Guardian

Every adversity, every failure, and every heartache carries with it the seed of an equivalent or a greater benefit.
—from Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
I don't even like lifting weights, running, and almost everything I did to win the 2015 Bodybuilding.com Transformation Challenge. I only did it because I wanted the money and the body, in the beginning. So, I did every planned friggin' exhausting workout and ate every planned tasteless or straight-up nasty meal, pill, and powder for three consecutive months, no matter how I felt. It was the hardest thing I'd ever done in my life. I didn't break any rules or go off-plan, ever. This miracle was possible for two reasons: FAITH— I believed I had a real chance at winning, I trusted God, I knew deep in my heart that if I stayed committed, it would be worth it—and I stayed fiercely FOCUSED. My story is about the power of FAITH and FOCUS.
As the days went on, my FAITH and FOCUS intensified and I became obsessed, which resulted in a big win at a time in my life when I really needed it. At the time when I did the contest, I was living in a nice apartment that no one would guess was low-income housing, just a five-minute walk to the ocean in beautiful Santa Monica with organic stores everywhere, fancy dogs, and chiseled six-packs jogging on every other block. I had a decent car and nothing was stopping me from living a fulfilling life, that is nothing . . . but me.
I felt like a loser, a phony pretending to be doing OK. After ten years of half-assedly pursuing acting, I only had a handful of credits: three national commercials with my voice deleted out of all of them, a few print ads that I never got to see, and a split second of me saying, "Cheers!" in a big movie.
I loved acting, but I didn't have the thick skin and unstoppable fire for it. The endless rejections felt personal. I repeatedly told myself: "If I was prettier . . . ," "If I was thinner . . . ," or "If I was smarter or funnier, I would have gotten that gig." I didn't put in the necessary hundreds of hours of hard work to strengthen my acting, which would have built a foundation of confidence, or at least made me feel that I was good enough as a performer. Instead, I was hoping my acting dream would come easily, which led to me continuing to project my insecurities. And my self-worth continued shrinking.
With negative thoughts come more negative thoughts. Every new "survival" job reinforced that I was a loser. I guess I'm only good enough for: making and delivering cheap-ass sandwiches; cleaning off tables for celebrities at a high-end sushi restaurant; driving drunk people home at 3am on weekends (that includes providing a throw-up bag, helping them put their shoes back on, and carrying their wobbly-ass bodies to their doorstep—for women . . . for the guys, I'd just shove them out of my car, just kidding, not really); selling alcohol in a cheap tight dress with a high slit in the back as I stood in front of the whiskey section at ghetto Korean grocery stores (I made sure to wear stockings as thick as yoga pants. As an extra insurance against perverts, I wore a business suit jacket and my mom's old dust-encrusted marshmallow nurse shoes, instead of the required sexy heels. As hard as I tried to avoid any Koreans I might know, I ran into my dad, my grandma on my dad's side, my grandpa on my dad's side, my aunt, my uncle, my cousins, an old friend, all at separate times, and each looked at me in horror-pity. Geezus! It's not like I'm some prostitute . . . almost not. Honestly, though, they were flabbergasted by my bad career moves). I've quit jobs on the first day of working, others after a few weeks; no matter what though, I was done within several months of starting a job. No one could tame this beast.
An insensitive friend who'd been at her same unfulfilling job for more years than she was proud to admit, laughed in front of a group of mutual friends, "What job hasn't Nina applied for?!" At least I have the guts to leave a dumb job, I thought. But her words stung.
I insanely resented working at lame survival jobs. But it was the only way I knew how to have a flexible schedule to attend auditions at any time of the day. I considered putting my acting career on hold in order to be a postal worker, a nurse, or a police officer—legit, respectable stable jobs that would end this pathetic pattern of begging for money from my parents whenever I was broke as f***. But I just couldn't see myself keeping those jobs, even if I were to invest a lot of time and money into them.
I almost completed an accelerated emergency medical technician program, until the reality of what might happen on a late-night shift in an ambulance really hit me. I thought working as an assistant to casting directors in the movie business would be a good choice, but after a fun brief stint of hiring a bunch of my friends and family as extras, I got laid off. Extras get paid so much more than you'd think, so I even tried that. It's a non-commital job, so it seemed natural. But the biggest blow to my ego was being a background extra on movie sets amongst hundreds of weirdos and wannabes. Ask any somewhat sane person who's been there.
Whatever I tried felt like the wrong turn. And it killed me inside to feel so lost for so long. Ten years of making no progress in my career and no personal sense of achievement. I didn't have any goals that excited me. I didn't know what I really wanted, except for the occasional gung-ho desire to lose weight. I was often frustrated, angry, or crying.
I was getting annoyed at myself: the same complaints, the same uneventful day-to-day living. Maybe I had serious issues, so I googled it: depression, what's wrong with me, quarter-life crisis. Maybe I was so mentally ill that I didn't know I was mentally ill! That must be why my family gravely worried about my future. No, I was just different, I hated settling for predictable, boring, and "normal" . . . right?
I admired risk-takers. But what risk was I taking? Why wasn't I able to decide on anything new? Why wasn't something pulling me to change? I've watched many great motivational youtube videos, but I didn't act any different after they were over.
I felt like a burden to those close to me. My mom begged me to join the military, my dad wanted me to work for his construction company, my aunt tried to bribe me into her real estate business, my lawyer sister yelled at me to get a real job! Everybody and their neighbor had a better idea for my life than I did.
I didn't know what the heck to do. I went back to Berkeley twice when I had both quarter-life crises, feeling like a failure who's best bet was to finish a sorry degree in theatre arts (a joke on campus; maybe they all knew I had to act like a tree in front of my class) that I'd started years earlier as an undergrad. But I couldn't stand even a minute of listening to an old fart professor blaming Hollywood as racist because she didn't live the life she wanted, or cringing as I read a few sentences about ancient theatrical acting in Greece. My heart kept taking me back to LA.
I hated telling people I was pursuing acting so much that I eventually stopped talking about it. I wanted to be successful already, be a powerful actress, what I thought was a badass somebody. Definitely not a pathetic 30-year-old wannabe actress.
I knew I was so much better than all this, but was I? Maybe I'm not that interesting. Maybe I'm not good enough to deserve the kind of life I want. I was definitely not thin enough according to two very successful talent managers who both rejected me. One of them was known for having a slew of up-and-coming hot young actors, her top client was the Superman in the latest Superman movie. The first thing she said was, "You look like you're hiding something. Lift up your shirt and come closer to me." I wasn't trying to hide my belly! I just like baggy shirts! And I wasn't interviewing to be some model, so what the heck? I sucked in my flab slightly, careful that she didn't notice my effort.
Intimidating like Judge Judy, she proclaimed, "You're competing with girls that are a size zero. Unless you want to be the fat funny girl. But you can't be in-between. If you're serious about acting, come back to me after you lose the weight. You're cute, but you're starting late."
I didn't know how to respond. She called me sort-of fat, but at least she called me cute, but she also called me old, but at least she said I could come back, but that means she doesn't think I'm good enough to work as an actress right now just because of the flab she saw only when I lifted my shirt?
By the time I got in my car, I burst into a broken fire hydrant of tears. I shouldn't have lifted my stupid shirt for her. I shouldn't have let her talk to me like that. I should know how to stand up for myself, I should know how to be grounded and strong. I should be better than this . . .
I was sick of being a nobody beggarly actress at the mercy of someone's opinion of me. But mostly, I was angry at myself. Sometimes it was a full-on rage at this stupid stupid life I created. (Two "stupids" for emphasis.) I was like a pissed-off hamster furiously spinning in my stupid wheel, angry that it was getting me nowhere but maintaining that pointless, angry sprint to nowhere anyway. Full-on rage at the stupid wheel I'd stayed on for too long. I wasted so much of my life . . . doing what?
So, when I came across Bodybuilding.com's Transformation Challenge, I grabbed it subconsciously [n2] and made it into the fight of my life—the fight for my life: I will prove to myself that I have what it takes to be a success, that I know how to give it my all, that I am much more than this life I have lived so far.
So, I decided—JUST SMASH THROUGH IT ALL.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

On this page you will find instructions on how to create a static connection to a Moonshot Identity Provider (IdP) without the need to access the Trust Router infrastructure for realm information.
Example configuration
1. RadSec
Because this connection continues to use RadSec, we still have to request several files from Camford University, namely the Certificate Authority (CA) file for Camford (ca.pem), and the Client Certificate (client.pem) and private key (client.key) for use with their Moonshot IdP.
1.1. Preparing the certificates
If Camford University used our instructions to create an Identity Provider, the Client Certificate and its private key are in the same file, client.pem
If Camford University sent us three files, we'll create a combined file of the Client Certificate and its private key:
$ cat client.key >> client.pem
Verify that the client.pem file starts with "
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----" and ends with "
1.2. Storing the certificates
Because the certificates are only used by FreeRADIUS, it is best if you store the certificates in FreeRADIUS'
certs directory.
make destroycerts command in the FreeRADIUS
certs directory will also erase these certificates!
Rename the files from
ca.pem and
client.pem to an easily-recognisable name, such as
camford_moonshot_ca.pem and
Then make sure they are readable by members of the FreeRADIUS group.
$ cp /tmp/camford/ca.pem /etc/freeradius/certs/camford_moonshot_ca.pem $ cp /tmp/camford/client.pem /etc/freeradius/certs/camford_moonshot_client.pem $ chgrp freerad /etc/freeradius/certs/camford_moonshot*.pem
$ cp /tmp/camford/ca.pem /etc/raddb/certs/camford_moonshot_ca.pem $ cp /tmp/camford/client.pem /etc/raddb/certs/camford_moonshot_client.pem $ chgrp radiusd /etc/raddb/certs/camford_moonshot*.pem
2. FreeRADIUS configuration
In the FreeRADIUS configuration, we can define a single file that contains everything about the RadSec connection to the Moonshot IdP:
Create a new file in the FreeRADIUS
sites-availabledirectory (
/etc/raddb/sites-availableon RedHat/CentOS/Scientific Linux,
/etc/freeradius/sites-availableon Debian/Ubuntu) called
camford_moonshotidpwith the below contents:sites-available/camford_moonshotidp
# This is the actual Camford Moonshot IdP server # home_server camford_moonshotidp_server1 { ipaddr = 192.168.213.24 port = 2083 type = auth secret = radsec proto = tcp status_check = none tls { private_key_password = whatever private_key_file = ${certdir}/camford_moonshot_client.pem certificate_file = ${certdir}/camford_moonshot_client.pem ca_file = ${cadir}/camford_moonshot_ca.pem dh_file = ${certdir}/dh fragment_size = 8192 ca_path = ${cadir} cipher_list = "DEFAULT" cache { enable = no lifetime = 24 # hours name = "camford-moonshotidp" persist_dir = ${logdir}/camford-moonshotidp } require_client_cert = yes verify { } } } # FreeRADIUS supports server pools: # Moonshot pools will only contain one server (the above home_server) # home_server_pool camford_moonshotidp_authpool { home_server = camford_moonshotidp_server1 } # The identity realm camford.ac.uk points to the server pool that # will service requests camford.ac.uk. # That pool is the above home_server_pool # realm camford.ac.uk { auth_pool = camford_moonshotidp_authpool nostrip }
Certificate paths
If you stored the certificates for the Moonshot IdP somewhere else, you must adjust the
ca_fileentries with appropriate paths. The
${ca_dir}directives refer to the FreeRADIUS
certsdirectory. You should not need to change those directives.
To enable this configuration, it needs to be linked into the FreeRADIUS sites-enabled directory:On Debian/Ubuntu
$ cd /etc/freeradius/sites-enabled $ ln -s ../sites-available/camford_moonshotidpOn RedHat/CentOS/Scientific Linux
$ cd /etc/raddb/sites-enabled $ ln -s ../sites-available/camford_moonshotidp
Restart FreeRADIUS
You should now try a test to check that the connection is functional.
