The game consists of 4 modes--Speed Trax, Stunt Trax, Battle Trax, and Test Run (or Free Trax after completing a Speed Trax class). Speed Trax is split into 3 classes, namely Novice, Expert, and Master. Each class has 4 unique courses to burn rubber on and fight for first place. Actually, the goal is to beat the clock while finishing within the top 3 winning ranks. Each time a checkpoint is crossed, the time you had left before getting there is added to the clock in addition to the default amount. The same is true for any time this is left over from the race itself; it'll get added to the clock on the next one. Sure, it's a simple feature, but proves to give the game a challenging dynamic in later portions when racing on the Expert and Master courses.
Stunt Trax makes up the other major part of the game where you must drive through courses made up mostly of off-road terrain and various obstacles. You have to collect as many stars as possible which add more time to the clock once you pass the one-way checkpoint, ending in a huge jump to the finish line. This mode of play is great when if you get tired of the normal race and just want to do something a little different. I found it to be surprisingly entertaining, as I usually tend to ignore game modes like this one. If you want to get some competition going with a friend, Battle Trax is the way to go. It's pretty cut and dry racing with no weapons or power ups to collect, but still fun if you can stand the reduced screen ratio for two players. And of course, there's not much excitement to be gained from Test Run/Free Trax, but it's nice to know that try a course out before getting into a real race, if you so choose to.
You start out with only 3 cars being available for use. You've got 4WD (monster truck), Coup (small sports car), and F-Type (F-1 racer). However, the speedy 2WD (sports motor bike) vehicle can later be unlocked to drive. Each car has its own attributes in speed and durability. 4WD is the slowest, but also holds up well to damage and has stable handling for those sharp turns along the way. F-Type is fastest car, but care must be taken when make hard turns (which is just about all of them) because this speed demon doesn't corner very well. Not to mention, it's also the most fragile of the 3 cars. No multi-vehicle racing game would be complete without the "all-round guy", and that exactly what you get with the Coup car. It's pretty good at keeping pace with everyone else on the road, corners nicely, and can stand up to a reasonable amount of damage. I found that I like using each of them since their most helpful qualities shine through depending on the class or stunt course I'm driving on at the moment. It would have been nice if Nintendo could have thrown in several more choices to start out with, but I digress.
The game proves to be deceptively deep and challenging, as finishing the Novice class only lulls you into a false sense of mastery. Once you start racing in the Expert classes, you can pretty much forget that feeling of accomplishment you though you had before. The courses are trickier, cars are harder to keep up with, and that dang timer will constantly make a fool of you just before you can cross that checkpoint. Players should beware of overall steepness of difficulty once the kid's gloves come off. I'm pretty good at most types of racing games from back in the day, but this one still gives my skills a run for its money. And contrary to other games like Super Mario Kart, there absolutely no weapons to found in the game. Sure, you have the blue orbs for restoring your turbo boost, or the red orbs for healing damage, but that's about it. This game is all about putting the rubber to the road and seeing who finishes first; nothing more, nothing less. So anyone expecting a cruise down easy street had better buckle up and be prepared for the ride. I think it puts a nice balance to the super cutesy appearance of the characters melodies.
Every time a game featuring polygons was released on a 16-bit console, there was always a risk of the game being hard to visually understand and play. Let's face it, not every game with such a graphics engine turned out to be all that great. In the case of this game, all is well. Curves, bumps, and dips are easily discernable and everything runs at a fairly consistent pace. The courses are nicely designed with underwater tunnels, traffic cutting across the road, falling rocks, and other things that are sure to catch your attention. It's surprising the amount of detail that Nintendo squeeze in here. I'd say that it easily outshines Star Fox by comparison. With all of the detail in the game, you can also expect to see the game chug a little when a lot of moving object are in view at once. With few exceptions to the rule, the Super NES was never good at doing too many things at once thanks to that slow CPU in it. That blemish aside, the visual presentation is rock solid and showed off some things that I once thought was never possible in that particular time period of console gaming.
Anyone familiar with racing games developed by Nintendo knows what to look forward too with this game. Yep, I'm talking about those bubbly banjo tunes and half playful, half dramatic scores that make up the musical painting in this picture. While that's not a complaint, I will say that I don't always enjoy hearing it. Maybe my tastes are just getting a little more mature, I don't know. Anyway, it can be said that the soundtrack is quite original and still listenable. The sound effects are a high point for the game with the attention to detail. Every car has its own realistic motor noise, sounds echo when going under tunnels or in caves, and a difference can be heard when going from the road on to logs or across water. It's always nice to see games like this one go the extra mile.
It's too bad that Stunt Race FX mostly got the silent treatment soon after its release. Its colorful characters meaty modes of racing ensure that your time will be well spent. The intricate visual details and awesome sound quality put the proverbial bow on a gift box. While the lack of weaponry may be disappointing for some folks, the game itself is still very fun. This is definitely a title that Nintendo would do well to make available on the Virtual Console. It's a ride worth spending the points on.

Strawberry peach popsicles with coconut milk
These popsicles have been lingering in my freezer for weeks now.
I've been waiting for the perfect timing to take pictures and the perfect idea on how to style them, but apparently that time and that idea never came (and I was sick of waiting and wanted to eat them too of course).
Oh well. That happens sometimes, and when that happens I think it's best to keep things simple. Crooked popsicle sticks and all.
The best thing about photographing popsicles is that you get to eat all of them. So now I've eaten three to make up for all the waiting. Yes, that's right. I'll probably eat the fourth one very soon.
Strawberry peach popsicles with coconut milk
Makes 10-12 popsicles
Notes on this recipe:
-You can mix everything together in one bowl if you prefer that, but I like them swirly like this.
-To make popsicles vegan, use maple syrup instead of honey (though I haven't tried it).
-The vodka can definitely be omitted if desired. I use it to make the popsicles smoother.
2 cups (250 g) strawberries
2 peaches (I used donut peaches and they weighed 100 grams together)
1 can full fat coconut milk (400 ml / 1 3/4 cups)
1/4 cup + 1 tbsp honey
a pinch of salt
1 1/2 tbsp vodka, divided (can be omitted)
Rinse and drain the strawberries and remove the pit from the peaches. Puree in a blender and mix with 1 tbsp honey and 1 tbsp vodka. Set aside.
Mix coconut milk with honey, a pinch of salt and 1/2 tbsp vodka.
Pour mixtures alternately into popsicle molds. Insert popsicle sticks and freeze until firm, about 4-5 hours.

I have no idea how you kept these at bay for three weeks. Regardless of 'the perfect shot' I would have eaten these within the hour they froze! Mine would never turn out as ethereal as yours, though. Considering these aren't the photos you originally intended on, they're quite beautiful as they are. Lovely!ReplyDelete
What perfect popsicles! Love the unique strawberry and peach flavours!ReplyDelete
They look very refreshing and cute, I'm sure they taste good too! :-)ReplyDelete
These are beautiful! The vodka keeps the popsicles a little softer when frozen right? I've been having trouble with my popsicles being too icy or frozen in texture, any other tips?ReplyDelete
Gorgeous pops, love the creaminess from the coconut milk!ReplyDelete
I have to say, I love your styling!ReplyDelete

Hi Linda! First of all, these are gorgeous <3ReplyDelete
I would love making a popsicle recipe like this one but I am allergic to peaches — what do you reckon I could use instead? :-)Replies
Thank you Rita! You can just leave out the peaches! :-)Delete
Hi Linda, do you purée the peaches with their skins?ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes, I do! :-)Delete

Competition: Who in your family has helped you the most with your research?
We received many entries for last week's Family History Month competition. Thank you to everyone that entered.
Congratulations to Sallie Shelton, winner of a PremiumPlus Family Site Subscription for her family site.
We loved what you wrote about the ancestor you'd like to meet:
My father's great grandfather, Francis Asbury Hammond. His life would make a blockbuster movie! Joined a whaling ship at a young age and during a storm a barrel rolled over him breaking his leg. The captain dumped him off on the "Sandwich Islands" to die. The natives nursed him back to health. His life includes multiple ocean voyages back and forth from America to the Sandwich Islands. He was in the CA gold rush, helped the Mormon Battalion build a road from from CA to UT, had many continuing adventures. Sadly, he died in Mancos, CO where he was drug to death by a horse leaving a large family. He was honored among many people as having ultimate honesty and integrity. He lead a life of service to others. Of course I would love to meet him, although I would be a little intimidated by this amazing man. I am honored to be his ancestor!

Mother's Day is nearly here. What better way to thank our mothers for everything they've done for us than by reflecting on all the wonderful mothers out there.
Mothers have a strong impact on our lives. Many even say that "mother knows best."
Whether they are, in fact, our grandmothers, our aunts or our own mothers, all leave us with lasting impressions of the advice and wisdom they share.
Growing up, I remember listening to my grandmother recall her childhood, and learning about my own history. On my first day of school, I remember my mother's hug and her words of encouragement, reassuring me that everything would be OK. I know that - even today - I can always count on these great women in my family.
Mothers around the world have a huge influence on our lives. It's always important to show our appreciation for all they do. Continue reading "Honoring Our Mothers: Mother's Day competition" »

Pipeline Recovery Tool
Ballgrab® ball and taper Pipeline Recovery Tools (PRT) are utilised for the laying, decommissioning and recovery of subsea pipelines. The pipe line recovery tool ranges typically from 2 inch to 48 inch (5 cm to 122 cm) diameter to meet project demands for both wet and dry buckle lift. First Subsea has a dedicated team of PRT design engineers to ensure a rapid response to your enquiry and ensure tools are fully optimised to meet your project requirements.
First Subsea has an extensive hire fleet backed by 24/7 response and rapid mobilisation in the case of a wet buckle. The fleet is constantly expanding and evolving to meet the demands of customers, and offers a wide range of sizes and configurations. It is currently well over 100 units including internal and external recovery tools.
The ball and taper multi-point grip is ideal for handling both new and existing pipeline, with a range of external and internal coatings. By customising the degree of grip, the tool is able to provide gentle handling for new pipelines, and overcome the dimensional inaccuracies caused by corrosion and build-up of waxing and hydrates with existing pipelines.
Modular Tool Design
First Subsea offers a modular design approach to pipe handling tools, enabling greater customisation and faster response to tool enquiries. The current range of tools available is 2 Inch to 48 Inch diameter, although the ball and taper design makes any size possible.
The core tool elements are: Pipeline Recovery Tool, ROV deployment arm and handling skid.
The deployment arm enables the tool to be held horizontally and inserted into the pipe by an ROV. The ball and taper grip is activated by ROV and the deployment arm removed to the surface. For additional flexibility of recovery operations, the lifting tools can be abandoned subsea and recovered later.
A dedicated DNV 2.7-1 / EN12079 cargo basket or handling skid enables to tool to safely and easily manoeuvred around offshore.
Optional modules include: check valve, dewatering seal, pig catcher, pig signaller and ROV Hot Stab hydraulic actuation.
- Dewatering
Bolted on the end of the tool, the dewatering seal morphs to the internal pipe surface. It is then activated by ROV hydraulic pressure or hydrostatic pressure difference which provides a water tight seal with a typical pressure of 60 bar MAWP (Maximum Allowable Working Pressure). They are designed to accommodate any tolerances.
- Pig Catcher
Using a ball and taper snap-on connection, the pig catcher is easily fitted to the end of the dewatering head, avoiding the need to strip the tool down. The pig 'nose' is readily adapted to suit any pig design making the tool ideal for dewatering operations.
Comprehensive Tool Testing
All First Subsea's pipeline tools are subject to rigorous testing before shipment offshore. Testing process uses DNV Standard for Certification No. 2.22 of Lifting Appliances October 2008 and DNV Rules for Certification of Lifting Appliances Chapter 2, Section 2.3, Table 12-2. All First Subsea Limited PRT's are classified as Chains, Hooks, Shackles & Swivels etc. Classification society design review and witness testing are available on request.
Tool Availability
First Subsea offers a range of PRT delivery options including warehouse storage for shipment when required and shipment to the nearest mobilisation point. In all cases a First Subsea qualified offshore technician is on hand to supervise deployment of the tool.

Biographical Information
Born in 1865 in Germany, Karl Albert Buehr was a painter of genre scenes, portraits, and Impressionist landscapes. He studied at the Art Institute of Chicago, the Julian Academy in France and the London School of Art. From 1899 to 1902 he lived in Holland, and then spent the first decade of the twentieth century at Giverny, France. A member of the Giverny artists, Buehr exhibited widely in Europe. Buehr became a U.S. citizen and served in the U.S. Cavalry during the Spanish-American War.

I never would have guessed that our favorite neighborhood spot for BBQ, whisky and live music would serve an outstanding brunch, but I was shocked in the best possible way when we a few weeks ago (over Halloween weekend) I had one of the best brunches ever at The Strand, a bar / beer garden / restaurant right near my apartment. Just take a look at my "Smothered n' Smoked Chicken & Biscuit" above – the chicken was served alongside sausage gravy, sunny-side-up egg, grits and coleslaw. It was absolutely incredible; the grits were thick and cheesy, the biscuit buttery and flaky, the sausage gravy flavorful and the chicken spicy. Kiyo had a few bites and loved the coleslaw, peppered with poppy-seeds. It was humongous and I took some home for later; it made a great snack after an afternoon spent in the park.
But I'm getting ahead of myself. Brunch began with free samples for all three of us (Maggie, Kiyo and me) of their brand new cocktails. One was light, fruity and herbaceous; the other was an odd but tasty mixture of beer and coffee. They were both delicious and paired well with the free cornbread and sweet honey butter.
Maggie ordered the Granola French Toast – house-baked brioche coated in crispy oatmeal, topped with whipped cream and strawberry preserves. The brioche was so dense and sweet it was almost like cake, and with the crunchy oats it was addicting. We all enjoyed big, soft bites of it, greedily.
After much deliberation, Kiyo ordered the Hash Plate: house-smoked pastrami with home fries and topped with two fried eggs (Kiyo gave his egg to Maggie because he is an egg-hater. I know, blasphemy!). The meat was delicious, perfectly smoky and tender. The home fries were given a nice little kick from the addition of red bell peppers, but were really overshadowed by the great meat.
Our waiter convinced us to split a side order of the their incredibly cheesy and gooey mac & cheese (let's be honest, he didn't have to try that hard). Topped with breadcrumbs, this fills you up fast but you can't stop stealing bites because it's just so good.
We were able to sit outside at long, wooden communal tables, since it was a fairly warm and sunny October day. However, the interior is quite cozy (even though it's very large) and I can't wait to go back for brunch sometime soon this winter.

The Tennessee Volunteers have reached the midpoint of their 2013 season at an even 3-3. While their record is average, some units are inevitably playing above and below average, and I've got their grades right here.
Many of these grades were greatly affected by the overtime loss against Georgia. That game changed the mindset of the team and its fans for the better. Suddenly, wins over other elite teams don't seem so unreasonable.
It's the trajectory of these grades that's most interesting. If I could show the trend of each grade, I don't think one would be moving downward at this point.

Now moving ahead in time talk to me a bit about the political education clinics that you conducted here. Why were they important? What did you do?
Well, I guess I'd have to back up some to put the clinics in context. Ah, we decided in 1981, we meaning C-BUC, that the time had come to have a Black mayor in Chicago. We were up here in this very room talking one night in our regular meeting and we had a, a, a list of Black mayors on, on the wall. There were more than 200 Black mayors. And somebody said, "Well why can't we have a Black mayor in Chicago?"** And, ah, the feeling was, that was impossible, just utterly impossible. But, if two hundred and three or four cities across this nation, some large cities, could have a Black mayor, we just felt that, you know, Chicago could. So, we began planning. This was in '81, 1981 and on August 15th, 1981 we sponsored a city-wide political conference and the theme was "Toward a Black Mayor." Now, you know, ah, starting something in '81 with a goal in '83, that's unusual for us. I mean we usually start two weeks beforehand. But the next election was '83. So, out of that conference, let me tell you a little story about that conference. It was so successful. It was just enormously successful. And as chairman I was giving the, ah, the summary at the end of the day and as I was talking, thanking the people for the kind of input they had given, all of a sudden, I broke down and started crying. And Jesse was there, Jesse Jackson, ah, rushed up to put his arms around me and closed out the session for us. And I thought, you know, "Why in the world did I break down like that?" It was not characteristic of me. I came to the conclusion that I had, we had witnessed something that day that was just utterly unusual. And I was convinced, totally convinced, we're going to pull this thing off because of the way that conference went off. At the conference, we did two things. We set two strategies. I had developed a slogan. I never realized how extraordinary effective slogans are. But I introduced at that conference a slogan, "We shall see in '83." And that became the, the watchword for the next two years. And over the period of time, "We shall see in '83" became, ah, internalized in the hearts and the minds and souls of our people, to the point, that two years later when Harold actually announced he was going to run, the first thing out of his mouth was, "We shall see in '83." Now to your question about the political education clinics. The second strategy was to begin a process of educating our people about politics. Until then there had been sporadic, political education processes, but they were never sustained. Ah, so we said, "We have got to teach our people first, what is politics, secondly, how can we make politics work for us and not for them?" So, my wife, Georgia, organized these political education clinics. And they were set up as four consecutive Saturdays and on the fifth Saturday then we would have a graduation. It was really extraordinary. Most of the people in those political education classes had never been involved in politics before. They, they were just people, grassroots people. And to get a pol- what we called it, a political education degree, that they could put on their walls. It was just a, an extraordinary experience for them, I tell you. Another story about, ah, those clinics, incidentally we ended up graduating better than two thousand people over the period of, when we started them in late '81 until the election in '83, but the first class we have, up here in this room, you see we, we were such a poor group, we didn't have any heat. We had no heat. We, and, and we would not have had a place to, to meet. We had been put out of three or four different churches and other halls. My wife and I are buying this building and we just camp in and, and made it usable and we met up here. But we didn't have any heat. Didn't have a stove. Didn't have a furnace, now, the first graduation exercise that we had was held on a day that was a record cold day in Chicago. It was day when the, ah, the, ah, what do you call it, the wind chill factor went to 80 below zero. And we were up here, maybe a hundred or more of us, see the people came, they brought their spouses, they brought their families. It was like a regular graduation. It was a prideful day. And there was no heat in this building. Do you know that not one person left? We were up here easily an hour, hour and fifteen, an hour and twenty minutes, and we went through our ceremony with overcoats, scarves, gloves. I mean it was cold. And that was another signal to me, you know, we don't like cold weather. And I said, "If, if our people will sit through this kind of a ceremony as long as they did in much cold, we're headed somewhere." And that was a second signal to me that we were going to elect a Black mayor in '83. Incidentally, ah, the pol- the political conference, after the political conference, we, we said, "We must be sure that just nobody pops up and runs, not just anybody. We got to have us a serious candidate." So we did a survey and we came up with 92 names. We, we put out thirty-five-thousand survey sheets and seventeen-thousand were returned, unbelievable, utterly unbelievable. Out of that we got 92 names and we took those 92 names, boiled them down to 10, the highest 10, top 10. The person at the very top, I mean way out above number two, was Harold Washington who was a congressman then, ah, South Side congressman. So, we said, "OK now, we got ten. How are we going to handle it now?" I called each one of those ten people and I said, "Would you run? Is there any circumstances under which you would not run?" Four of them said, "Under no condition." So we had six. So, we called a Black mayoral plebiscite. And that word plebiscite really kicked some people off and ticked some off because they didn't know what it meant. So this was a kind of, among other things, a teaching process. And people heard this word, "Pleb--what in the world is a plebiscite?" And we began to teach them that, you know, when, when, when a people comes together, a people, when people come together around a, an important issue and vote to decide which way they should move, that's a plebiscite. Well to make another long story short, we held a plebiscite. Bethel A.M.E. Church and this was in 1982, ah, and--
We got to stop here.

File Uploader
Have you ever wanted to write a Flash file uploader that allows your clients, or users, to upload (or download) files to and from your website? The FileReference class (for Flash 8 or later) allows you to do this. Although not documented in our help files, a detailed description of the FileReference class can be found at the Adobe website or in the Flash AS2 language reference pdf document which can be downloaded from here.
In addition to authoring your Flash page, you will also need to create the appropriate server pages to support the file uploads. An example of a php server page is given at the end of this article.
The example swf file below allows you to initiate the download of some different items from our server. The transfer status messages received by the FileReference object are shown in the status window.
The sequence of events is slightly different for uploads and downloads. In the examples below, G_fr is the name of the file reference object that is defined as shown below:
var G_fr = new flash.net.FileReference(); // new file reference object
Initiate the download using
url is the URL of the file that is to be downloaded. This method will invoke a file browse dialog that allows the user to select (or cancel) the location for the download file.
A return value of true indicates that the download has successfully commenced.
Initiate the upload using:
G_fr.browse(typelist);// select file to be uploaded // after checking that selected file is valid for upload call G_fr.upload(url);// commence the upload
The browse command opens a file selection dialog that allows the user to select the file to be uploaded. The upload command starts the upload.
typelist is an array that defines the type of files that are browsed for. See the previously mentioned AS2.0 script reference for more information. As an example, to browse for jpg images use:
[{description: "Images", extension: "*.jpg"}]
url is the name of the URL that handles the upload. This is generally a php or an asp server page. See below for an example php page.
Once the transfer has commenced, the FileFeference object sends feedback using a number of defined events that can be accessed using a listener object:
|Called if the cancel button of the file browse dialog is pressed.
|Called when the transfer has competed successfully
|Called when an upload fails because of a HTTP error.
|Called when transfer fails due to some IO error. For downloads this could also correspond to an HTTP error.
|Called when the transfer process has started.
|Called multiple times during the transfer. Indicates the number of bytes transferred and the number of bytes total.
|Called when transfer fails because of a security issue. Most likely cause is cross domain references.
|Called when file browse dialog has selected a file.
|Called after data is received from the server after a successful upload. The processing that occurs here depends on the data returned from the upload URL. The server upload page could be authored to return specific data about the success or failure of the upload.
Event handling is achieved through the use of a listener object that is then associated with the FileReference Object.
For example, to monitor onProgress events:
var listener:Object = new Object(); // create a listener object listner.onProgress = function(fileRef:FileReference, bytesLoaded:Number, bytesTotal:Number):void { trace(bytesLoaded add "/" add bytesTotal); } G_fr.addListener(listener); // associate the listener with the file reference object.
In the above example, a trace statement will be called for each invocation of the onProgress event. The onProgress event would normally be used to provide % complete feedback.
The exact parameters used by each of the event functions is defined in the AS 2.0 reference guide mentioned above.
The .swi file for the above example can be downloaded here.
To simplify configuration, the values shown in the list box as well as the associated download URLs have been defined as parameters (List Values and URLs) associated with the download object.
The Script for the movie is shown below:
function StartDownload(selection) { // the download urls are stored in a line separated list in parameters.URLs var s = parameters.URLs.split(chr(13)); // split into individual URLs if (selection < 1 || selection > (s.length)) { statusText.SetText("Download URL not defined" add newline); return; } // download the selected URL. 1 corresponds to the 1st URL if (!G_fr.download(s[selection-1])) { statusText.SetText("Failed to open: " add s[selection-1]); } else { DownloadObjectsVisible(true); progressbar.SetValue(0); statusText.SetText(""); } } function DownloadObjectsVisible(m) { // sets / resets the visibility of the download specific objects progressbar._visible = m; Button_Cancel._visible = m; } function Events(n,v) { switch(n) { case "Button_Cancel": G_fr.cancel(); // cancel the download // show cancelled in status area. statusText.AppendText("User Cancelled download" add newline); DownloadObjectsVisible(false); break; case "Combo_silver": case "Button_Download": StartDownload(Combo_silver.GetCurSel()); break; } } onSelfEvent(load) { var G_fr = new flash.net.FileReference(); var listener:Object = new Object(); listener.onSelect = function(f:FileReference):Void { statusText.SetText("Downloading: " add f.name add newline); } listener.onCancel = function(f:FileReference):Void { // user pressed cancel on file browse dialog statusText.AppendText("User Cancelled" add newline); DownloadObjectsVisible(false); } listener.onOpen = function(file:FileReference):Void { statusText.AppendText("onOpen: " + file.name + newline); } listener.onProgress = function(file:FileReference, bytesLoaded:Number, bytesTotal:Number):Void { statusText.AppendText("onProgress: bytesLoaded " + bytesLoaded + " / " + bytesTotal + newline); progressbar.SetValue(bytesLoaded/bytesTotal * 100); } listener.onComplete = function(file:FileReference):Void { statusText.AppendText("onComplete: Download of [" add file.name add "] complete." add newline); DownloadObjectsVisible(false); } listener.onHTTPError = function(file:FileReference, error):Void { statusText.AppendText("onHTTPError: " + file.name + "E:" add error + newline); DownloadObjectsVisible(false); } listener.onIOError = function(file:FileReference):Void { statusText.AppendText("onIOError: " + file.name + newline); DownloadObjectsVisible(false); } listener.onSecurityError = function(file:FileReference, errorString:String):Void { statusText.AppendText("onSecurityError: " + file.name + " errorString: " + errorString + newline); DownloadObjectsVisible(false); } G_fr.addListener(listener); DownloadObjectsVisible(false); }
The functions have the following purpose:
StartDownload: This function is passed the index of the selected item in the combo box. It looks up the associated URL from the parameter URL and then initiates the download using G_fr.download(). If the download is started successfully it initializes the progress bar and the status text area and makes the progress bar and cancel button visible.
DownloadObjectsVisible(): This function sets (or resets) the visibility of the progress bar and cancel button.
Events(): This function handles events from the Cancel and Download buttons and also the combo box. The Cancel button cancels the download via G_fr.cancel(). The Download button an combo events cause the download to commence by calling the StartDownload() function described above.
onSelfEvent (load): This function creates the file reference object (G_fr) and defines the various event actions that are assigned to the listener object (listener).
The image below shows the example upload movie. The movie allows the user to browse for and upload a jpeg image file. The upload file size is limited to 60kBytes. The movie allows the user to optionally enter additional information about the image such as title and description. The status area shows the progress of the upload.
The example files (.swi file and .php file) can be downloaded from here.
To simplify configuration, the upload URL has been defined as a parameter for the editupload movie clip. You will need to set this parameter to the appropriate URL before using the sample file.
The script used in the .swi file is shown below:
function Events(n,v) { if ("Button_Browse" == n) { G_fr.browse([{description: "Images", extension: "*.jpg"}]); } else if ("Button_Upload" == n) { // start the upload G_fr.postData = "desc=" add bodyText.t1.text add "&title=" add title.text; if (!G_fr.upload(parameters.UploadURL)) { status.SetText("Upload dialog failed to open."); } else { progressbar._visible = true; progressbar.SetValue(0); status.SetText(""); // clear any previous status info } } } onSelfEvent(load) { var G_fr = new flash.net.FileReference(); var listener:Object = new Object(); listener.onSelect = function(f:FileReference):Void { uploadfile.text = f.name; } listener.onCancel = function(f:FileReference):Void { uploadfile.text = ""; trace("User Cancelled"); } listener.onOpen = function(file:FileReference):Void { status.AppendText("onOpen: " + file.name + newline); } listener.onProgress = function(file:FileReference, bytesLoaded:Number, bytesTotal:Number):Void { status.AppendText("onProgress with bytesLoaded: " + bytesLoaded + " / " + bytesTotal + newline); progressbar.SetValue(bytesLoaded/bytesTotal * 100); } listener.onComplete = function(file:FileReference):Void { status.AppendText("onComplete: " + file.name + newline); progressbar._visible = false; } listener.onHTTPError = function(file:FileReference, error):Void { status.AppendText("onHTTPError: " + file.name + "E:" add error + newline); progressbar._visible = false; status._visible = true; } listener.onIOError = function(file:FileReference):Void { status.AppendText("onIOError: " + file.name + newline); status._visible = true; } listener.onSecurityError = function(file:FileReference, errorString:String):Void { status.AppendText("onSecurityError: " + file.name + " errorString: " + errorString + newline); status._visible = true; } listener.onUploadCompleteData = function(file:FileReference, data:String):Void { status.AppendText(data add newline); // show the result code } G_fr.addListener(listener); progressbar._visible = false; }
The Events() function handles the Browse and Upload buttons. On a Browse event, the browse window is invoked by the line:
G_fr.browse([{description: "Images", extension: "*.jpg"}]);
This specific configuration allows browsing specifically for jpg images.
When the Upload button is pressed, the title and description are sent using the postData property:
G_fr.postData = "desc=" add bodyText.t1.text add "&title=" add title.text;
This causes the data to be sent using the post variables desc and title. These can be accessed in the remote php script via $_POST["desc"] and $_POST["title"]. The upload is then initiated using the parameter that is defined for the upload URL.
The onSelfEvent(load) function creates the file reference object (G_fr) and defines the various event actions that are assigned to the listener object (listener). Take specific note of the onUploadCompleteData event handler which displays the returned text from the php page in the status area.
To use the upload example you will need to create an upload script file on your website. An example php file is shown below (and also included in the sample zip file):
<?php if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name']) && ($_FILES['Filedata']['size'] < 60000)){ // warning, copying uploaded files to your web folder, may enable an attacker to compromise the // security of your website. // use this example entirely at your own risk. // no responsibility will be accepted for any use or misuse of this example file. // check the uploaded file type is jpeg if ("image/jpeg" != mime_content_type($_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'])) { // we only allow jpg echo "Error: filetype not allowed"; } else { // file is allowed file type and is within allowed size. // leave it with the assigned temporary name and move to the upload folder. // in this way a potential attacker should not be able to overwrite existing web files. $uploadDirectory="upload/"; // the temporary name is something like /tmp/phpXXXXXX where XXXXXX is a random string // substr is used to remove the leading php from the name. $tmpbasename = substr(basename($_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name']),3); $uploadFile=$uploadDirectory.$tmpbasename.".jpg"; // force jpg extension. // now copy the uploaded file to the web area. // only do this if you are 100% sure the file does not constitute a security risk. copy($_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'], $uploadFile); // note that // $_POST["title"] contains the user entered title and // $_POST["desc"] contains the user entered description // these post variables were defined using G_fr.postData in the swf file. // these items could be added to database entry for the uploaded file if desired. echo "OK: " . $uploadFile; } } else { // file too large or possibly dangerous file. echo "Error: file too large"; } ?>
In this example, only jpg images are allowed and their size must be less than 60000 bytes. If the uploaded file meets these conditions, the php file transfers the uploaded file to an upload folder.
The upload folder is a sub folder of the folder containing the php file. Create the upload folder if it does not already exist.
Note that within the PHP script, references to the uploaded file are via $_FILES['Filedata']. The name 'Filedata' is set by the FileReference object.
On completion of the upload the path to the renamed file is displayed.
I recommend that you refer to the detailed php manual pages for tips on security, more detailed information and other suggestions. Some commonly requested changes are described below.
Changing Upload Limit
It is necessary to alter the file size test in the php file. For example if you wish to allow 50Mbyte uploads, change the line:
if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name']) && ($_FILES['Filedata']['size'] < 60000)){
if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name']) && ($_FILES['Filedata']['size'] < 50000000)){
It is possible to add a check of the opened file size before the upload commences in the swi / swf file. This has the advantage of warning the user that the file is too large before the upload commences. The size check in the php file should still be retained as this check is easily circumvented.
The modified script for the .swi Events function is shown below:
... } else if ("Button_Upload" == n) { // check that file is below limit if (G_fr.size > 50000000) { // 50Mbyte limit status.SetText("File too large"); return; } // start the upload G_fr.postData = "desc=" add bodyText.t1.text add "&title=" add title.text; ...
If you have added such a check, you must also modify this file size to match the file size check in the php file.
Modifying the File Type
Modify the file type that is browsed for in the swi / swf file. This is done by modifying the parameters to the browse function call. The examples below assume a change to the file type of pdf.
To browse for .pdf files, change the line:
if ("Button_Browse" == n) { G_fr.browse([{description: "Images", extension: "*.jpg"}]);
if ("Button_Browse" == n) { G_fr.browse([{description: "Adobe pdf", extension: "*.pdf"}]);
The upload php file will also require modification:
- The type checking (if used) will require modification, however I am not sure if pdf files are recognised by the type checking functions, so it may be necessary to simply remove the check.
- The copy action will require modification to add the file correct extension. Modify the line:
$uploadFile=$uploadDirectory.$tmpbasename.".jpg"; // force jpg extension.
$uploadFile=$uploadDirectory.$tmpbasename.".pdf"; // force pdf extension.
in the php upload file.

The Mounties have charged a Quebec youth after the user names, passwords and credit-card information from some of Bell Canada's small-business customers were posted online. The RCMP say they started investigating after one of Bell's third-party IT suppliers was cyber-hacked. As a result of the hacking, investigators say, 22,421 user names and passwords and five valid credit-card numbers were displayed for anyone to see on the Internet. The youth, who cannot be identified because of his age, was arrested at a Bagotville, Que., residence early Friday and charged with one count of unauthorized use of a computer and two counts of mischief in relation to data. Police said he is believed to be a member of a hacktivist group NullCrew, alleged to be responsible for hacking into computers of businesses, schools and government agencies. The youth is scheduled to appear in Ottawa court Aug. 19.
Investigators had help with their investigation from south of the border, said Supt. Dean Buzza, the officer in charge of the RCMP's specialized operational services.
``Co-operation with our FBI counterparts permitted us to pursue this investigation, which ultimately led to identifying a Canadian suspect,'' said Buzza.
``This demonstrates yet again the importance of law enforcement working together to fight cybercrime.'' The allegations against the youth have not been proven in court.

PDO For WordPress and WP > 2.8
it's been a while since i have had time to update PDO For WordPress.
i have had a preliminary look at things and i believe that the incompatibility for new installs is based in the is_blog_installed() function. this should be fixable but is non-trivial.
for existing installs, the fix should be trivial (indeed, I am typing here on wp2.9 with PDO For WordPress 2.6.1 – i get some errors but nothing fatal).
i am hoping to have a full fix uploaded in the next week.

To the Editor:
As a 12th District Republican Party Committeewoman in West Deptford, I was shocked and appalled when I read the Oct. 21 article about the refusal of Sean Kilpatrick (the lone Republican on the West Deptford Township Committee) to endorse the party's 2011 township committee candidates, Raymond Chintall and Samuel Cianfarini.
George Washington and the Continental Army had their Benedict Arnold, and it appears that the West Deptford and Gloucester County Republicans have their own Benedict Arnold in Kilpatrick.
Kilpatrick is what is commonly known as a "RINO," for Republican In Name Only. He has not followed any of the principles of the Republican Party, such as fiscal reasonability and transparency in government. He further states that our township candidates cannot be trusted. Now we find that he can't be trusted to follow basic Republican principles.
In a statement cited in the article, Kilpatrick alleges that township Republican Chairwoman Joann Priga and County Chairman Bill Fey had "stolen the (West Deptford) GOP." That is not true at all. They rescued the West Deptford Republican Party from hopelessness, despair and the leadership of Loran Oglesby (a former county chairwoman from West Deptford).
The township Republican Party is now a viable force with a great deal of spirit. We can now hold our heads up high knowing that it is recognized throughout Gloucester County.
I urge all citizens of West Deptford to vote Nov. 8 for Chintall and Cianfarni for West Deptford Township Committee. We need honest, transparent government that Ray and Sam will bring.
