The Manchester Derby hype and result sparks viral wave on the Micah Richards Facebook page, says Digital Sports Group.
United States (IBwire.com - December 15, 2012)
Digital Sports Group head of operations Matthew Tait believes that the recent domination on the field courtesy of the star studded line up has seen key players such as Micah Richards' Facebook page increase dramatically with the total weekly reach increasing by over 20%. The Facebook page has become a thriving hub for the Manchester City defender since its launch and is becoming more and more popular with each week that passes, with a rapidly growing community of fans keen to hear all the latest news on their favourite player. The official PFA Facebook page, along with Micah Richards player profile on football.co.uk, provide the only online location of the official PFA biography, lifetime stats, news and high resolution gallery.
The Manchester derby at the Etihad Stadium saw Manchester City's two year unbeaten streak come to an end as their city rivals Manchester United claimed all three points in a dramatic finish. City came back from two goals down in what looked to be a great result for the hosts – although Robin van Persie and Manchester United had other plans.
Although the game was blighted with last minute unnecessary conflict between the fans and the players – the derby has increased interaction on the Micah Richards page especially massively. The Micah Richards' Facebook Page is no doubt the number one spot to receive all the latest news on Manchester City Football Club and their star players.
Head of Operations at DSG, Matthew Tait, had this to say, "Micah Richards really has no shortage of fans after his performances for Manchester City this season and we can see that by the success of his PFA Facebook page. All of us here at Digital Sports Group are proud we've had the opportunity to work with The PFA to give the fans a fantastic and unique fan resource for Micah."
DSG became the official digital partner of the Professional Footballers Association (PFA) earlier this year and have since launched a number of Player profile fan pages on social media site Facebook as well as providing official player pages on their football news site football.co.uk.

Roger Waters Leads 2012 Concert Ticket Sales List
Pink Floyd star Roger Waters has beaten Bruce Springsteen to the top of the concert ticket sales list so far this year.
The rocker's "The Wall Live" show has grossed almost $160 million in sales globally to make Waters the biggest live act on the planet in 2012.
Springsteen comes in a distant second thanks to his "Wrecking Ball" tour.
The Boss is expected to overtake Waters by the end of the year, while Madonna, who comes in third with $42 million, has yet to embark on what is sure to be a money-spinning North American tour.

Baking| Strawberry & Kiwi Bavarian Cake with Razzle Dazzle Macarons … Vanilla Bavarian Mousse with Strawberries & Basil
"If passion drives you, let reason hold the reins."
Benjamin Franklin
Some days I just dazzle myself with my efficiency, days that are few and far between, but it gives me confidence that I can still achieve quite a bit on better days!! It was a cake for my SILs birthday, AND macarons, all done on fast track. Inspiration came from our MacTweets theme for January and the Bavarian mousse on this Chocolate Bavarian Mousse Cake; that is how this Strawberry & Kiwi Bavarian Cake with Razzle Dazzle Macarons came about to be.On a day like this I raced and baked a sponge, made a Bavarian cream, then a mousse, layered a cake and even had it chilling in a couple of hours!! Even more dazzling … got the macs piped even as the kids grumbled getting out of bed and into the shower; ffound 'feet' before 8am, just after I had banished the kids to school!! Cake demoulded, ganached and snazzed up with my macs and I was a happy baker! The ganache wasn't in my plan, limited as it seemed because of the time crunch, but the daughter begged for chocolate to be included in the master plan. I think the cake would have looked beautiful without the dark chocolate hues, but teens need to be kept happy, so…The macarons ran with the basic colours of fruit in the cake, pink for strawberries and green for kiwi. I was lucky to find feet so early in the morning. For the boost of mac-confidence I have to applaud the uber talented Stella @ BraveTart…and she is brave. She bakes mean {read GORGOEUS!!} macarons, and did away with many mac myths in a second.Reading her post made me feel ultra confident, and a day old egg white out of the fridge did yield the frills or feet! I also dumped the granulated sugar in with the whites and whipped them altogether, but this time wasn't nervous. Bravery is a strong emotion, and I was rewarded in under 10 minutes …pretty little mini macs.The sponge is a basic one, a 3 egg recipe that lives in my head… 3 eggs + 1/2 cup sugar + 1/2 cup flour. Minimal ingredients {with the seed of 1/2 a vanilla bean} and minimal fuss that results in a light airy sponge. This is my to-go recipe for a Swiss roll too!I did try to rustle up some shimmer and glimmer to jazz the macarons to meet the razzle dazzle theme, but the shimmer is rather muted! Well the thoughts {and my morning} dazzled in any case. The macarons were sandwiched with some dark chocolate ganache reserved from the frosting.Bavarian is fast becoming my choice of filling in cakes, one that finds its roots in a crème anglaise of sorts, as we still moan the lack of local whipping cream in India. The mousse compliments fresh fruit beautifully, and is delicately flavoured with vanilla bean. It was a little less firm in the filling as I used kiwi too {I think the high citric content in kiwi interferes with the setting of gelatin}. It did set though, but just. Next time I might stick to just strawberries to get a firmer mousse … like the one below!The weather that whole day {week actually} was cold and rainy, hence the cake pictures aren't bright and happy. I had some mousse left over as the cake was taller than my desert ring, so I set some in glasses. I absolutely love the idea of doing individual portions like these that can be made ahead, and dressed up with seasonal fruit, as in this case strawberries perked up with some fresh basil!These were GOOD, oh so good! The Bavarian set perfectly, the little vanilla bean specks flavouring it beautifully. I topped the goblets with a strawberry puree, like the one layered in these White & Dark Chocolate Desserts with Strawberries. To add colour and flavour, I snipped in some fresh basil which I am fortunate to have these days. I left these in the fridge for a couple of hours again, and the strawberry, lime and basil flavours matured nicely!The play of textures and the visual appeal was great! Dolled up with a macaron and I have never heard the fridge door opening SO MANY times! The kids were constantly in and out of the kitchen to look at it longingly. The minute dinner was done, it was a race to the fridge again. Door opened again! "Now?"

[print_this]Recipe: Strawberry & Kiwi Bavarian Cake with Razzle Dazzle Macarons
Summary:A marriage of flavours and textures, 2 desserts, one basic mousse. Add in some fresh seasonal fruit, top with macarons and you have … Strawberry & Kiwi Bavarian Cake with Razzle Dazzle Macarons, & Vanilla Bavarian Mousse with Strawberries & Basil
Prep Time: 1 hour, 30 minutes
Total Time: 2 hours, 30 minutes {plus setting/chilling time}
- Vanilla Sponge
- 6 eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup sugar {I used granulated}
- 1 cup plain flour, sifted
- 1/2 vanilla bean scraped {or pure vanilla extract}
- Basic Sugar Syrup
- 1/4 cup water
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
- Zest and juice of 1 lime
- Vanilla Bavarian Mousse
- 4 egg yolks {large; 5 if small}
- 300ml whole milk
- 200ml low fat cream, room temperature
- 1/2 vanilla bean scraped
- 75gm sugar
- 1 1/4 tbsp gelatin {increase in warm weather}
- 200ml cream, chilled
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- Chocolate Ganache
- 200gm dark chocolate bits {or chopped}
- 200ml low fat cream
- 1 tbsp honey
- Fruit for filling
- 300gm strawberries, chopped {reserve 3-4 for garnishing
- 2-3 kiwi, peeled, chopped {reserve 1/2 for garnishing}
- Vanilla Macarons
- 1 egg white, aged a day
- 1/4 cup almond meal
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla powder
- 1/4 tsp egg white powder
- 2 1/2 tbsp granulated sugar
- Strawberry Puree for the Bavarian Mousse Goblets
- 300gm strawberries, chopped fine
- 2-3 tbsp powdered sugar {increase/decrease as per tartness of strawberries}
- Juice of 1 lime
- 6-8 leaves fresh basil, chiffonaded
- 1tbsp water
- Vanilla Sponge
- Preheat oven to 190C. Line the base and sides of a 9″ round tin with baking parchment.
- Beat eggs, vanilla bean and sugar over simmering water until the eggs are thick and mousse like, about 7-10 minutes. Once they triple in volume, remove from water, and continue to beat until the mixture cools dwon {about 5 minutes}
- Fold the flour in carefully, in figure 8 moves, to ensure you don't release the air.
- Turn into prepared tin, and bake for about 30 minutes, until the cake is light golden and springs back when touched.
- Remove from tin, take off parchment, and coole completely on rack.
- Vanilla Bavarian Mousse
- Bloom gelatin in 2-3 tbsp of water. Place in a bowl of hot water to dissolve fully.
- Whisk the yolks with the sugar in a bowl.
- Heat cream, milk and half the sugar {15gm} until simmering. Meanwhile whisk the egg yolks with the remaining sugar with a balloon whisk, and add 1/3rd of the hot milk mixture over it, whisking continuously until well combined. Pour this back into the pan with the remaining milk mixture. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until the cream is thickened and coats the back of the spoon. {Don't allow it to boil}. It is important to constantly stir to prevent the bottom from curdling or burning. If that happens, take a balloon whisk and whisk vigorously. If you fear your custard curdled too much, remove from the heat and pass it through a fine sieve before proceeding with the recipe.
- Thermomix: Place all ingredients in TM bowl, and cook at 90C, Speed 3 for 7 minutes.
- Remove from heat immediately and stir the gelatin well into this hot mixture well, then quickly strain this into a bowl. Cool over a bowl of crushed ice, stirring frequently.
- Once cool, beat the remaining 200ml chilled cream to soft peaks, and gently stir into the mousse.
- Chocolate Ganache
- Chocolate Glaze
- Place chocolate in a bowl.
- Heat the cream and honey in a pan until simmering. Pour over the chopped chocolate and stir until smooth. Reserve 1/4 cup ganache in a piping bag for macarons.
- Assembling Torte
- Cut the sponge horizontally into 3 layers. Place in dessert ring on serving platter. {Dessert ring should fit nice and snugly. I use this adjustable dessert ring I bought in Sydney.} Place one layer of cake, top with the strawberries and kiwi, then half the Bavarian mousse. Repeat with the next layer. Cover and chill overnight for the Bavarian to set.
- Unmold from the dessert ring, frost with the ganache and garnish as desired. Chill until ready to serve.
- Vanilla Macarons
- Preheat oven to 140C.
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Blend the powdered sugar, almond meal, vanilla powder and egg white powder briefly in the bowl of your food processor to mix. {you can sift it too}
- In a large clean bowl, beat the egg white and the granulated vanilla sugar till it becomes firm and holds peaks, about 2 minutes.
- Carefully fold the dry ingredients into the beaten egg white with a flexible rubber spatula. When the mixture is just smooth and falls in ribbons like molten lave, stop folding. {Do not overmix}
- Using a teaspoon, or piping bag, drop / pipe the batter on the parchment-lined baking sheets in 1″ circles evenly spaced one-inch apart.
- Rap the baking sheet a few times firmly on the counter top to flatten the macarons, then rest for about about 15 minutes {to an hour}.
- Bake them for about 15 minutes until the shells feel firm to touch.
- Let cool completely then remove from baking sheet.
- To assemble macarons
- Match equal halves of macarons, and keep together.
- Pipe a tiny bit of the reserved ganache from above on the flat side of the macaron and sandwich with another half of the same size, squeezing gently. Leave to set.
- Strawberry Puree for the Bavarian Mousse Goblets
- Lightly crush the chopped strawberries with the powdered sugar with a fork until the strawberries release their juices. Mix in the rest of the ingredients and reserve in a bowl in the fridge. Distribute over the glasses once Bavarian is set, and chill until served.
Notes: I bake my macarons on the upper shelf in my oven, using just the lower element for heat. I also use double baking trays.

May 22, 2014
Andy Erwin, director/editor/producer of 'Moms' Night Out,' and his wife, Mandy, walk the red carpet at the film's Alabama premiere held at AmStar Cinema 14 in Alabaster on May 9. The film opened in seventh place on Mother's Day weekend, earning approximately $4.2 million, but was ranked third in ticket sales based on the number of theaters where it was shown. Also at the red carpet event were Andy's brother, Jon, who also directed, produced and co-wrote the film; actors Robert Amaya and Kevin Downes; and the film's cinematographer, Kris Kimlin. The Birmingham-based Erwin brothers are known for their films featuring stories of redemption and faith, including 2011's 'October Baby.'

Another dramatic week, with tons of love, tension and even a little Nazi humor! Kurt's dad and Finn's mom tied the knot on last night's episode of "Glee", but the drama did not start or end with the wedding. "Furt" delivered some romance, some action, and a few surprises for the students, teachers, and parents at McKinley High. Overall it wasn't a bad week for the gang…
The Players
- Directed by: Ryan Murphy
- Written by: Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, and Ian Brennan
- Cast: Jane Lynch, Matthew Morrison, Lea Michele, Cory Monteith, Chris Colfer, Dianna Agron, Mike O'Malley, Kevin McHale, Heather Morris, Amber Riley, Naya Rivera, Mark Salling, Jenna Ushkowitz
The Plot
When Burt Hummel and Carole Hudson announce they are getting married, instead of hiring a band the couple gets New Directions to perform at their wedding. At McKinley, Sue's mother (guest star Carol Burnett) arrives unexpectedly, and Kurt's ongoing confrontation with his bully comes to blows.
The Good
- Family matters: "Furt" featured a some family drama that gave excellent insight into the characters' dispositions and provocations, and showed how far these characters have come throughout the show. Sue's mom Doris (Carole Burnett) returns to Ohio after her Nazi-hunting duties are finished, but her daughter does not exactly welcome her with open arms. The more we learn about Sue, the more her abrasive and often absurd behavior makes sense. Her "life is tough, get a helmet" attitude is a result of having to basically fend for herself and parent her disabled sister while her parents were off doing something, in their minds, more important.
- The Gay Issue: Finn has long been reluctant to befriend Kurt let alone rise to his new brother's defense, because he is uncomfortable with Kurt's homosexuality. When Mike, Artie, and Sam take on Dave Kronofsky in Kurt's defense, Finn's absence from the ensuing fight raises more than a few eyebrows in the choir room. This is an ongoing issue on the show that it well addresses and much like real life not easily solved. This weeks episode once again raises the stacks on the issue once again. One wonders how far they will go?
- Love in the air: Burt and Carole's wedding prompted examination of the many couples on Glee, and how each are
- Rachel and Finn's relationship seems almost perfect these days, but may soon be rocked by a revelation about Finn's (nonexistent) virginity and his one-night stand with Santana. Though Finn dealt with Santana, how long will/can he keep the secret from Rachel?
- Sam offers Quinn a promise ring, which, among other things, promises to catapult the adorable golden-haired couple to Brangelina status on the McKinley social structure. What are Sam's real motivations, though? Early on in the episode, he confesses to Finn that his desire to be popular that made him want to be with Quinn; later on, he tells her he loves her, and sounds convincing.
- Sue, on the other hand, has identified the person who she most wants to spend her life with: herself. Though played for laughs, this declaration of proud single-ness was refreshing in the midst of a couple-centric ep. This was another example of the genius of Sue Sylvester- though harsh, she is who she is without apologies and embraces her life for what it is without complaint.
The Good/Bad
- Major Plot Maneuver: After suffering extreme emotional and physical distress because of Dave Kronofsky's repeated bullying, Kurt decides its time to make a serious change. *SPOILER* He, along with his parents, decide it is best for him transfer to Dalton Academy after Kronofsky's expulsion is overturned by the school board. This signals a major change for Kurt and for the show, and will certainly heighten the stakes at Sectionals, where as Rachel points out, Kurt will compete against New Directions.
The Music
- "Ohio," from Wonderful Town: Mother and daughter duet in a hilarious, theatrical performance on the auditorium stage. The two casually trade barbs between verses, and we finally get to hear Sue really sing!
- "Marry You," Bruno Mars: All of the glee couples dance and sing down the aisle at Burt and Carole's wedding. It started out slightly awkward, but overall was a charming performance featuring great character moments and solos from almost every member of New Directions.
- "Sway," Michael Buble: Mr. Schue sings this Michael Buble tune for the newly married Hummel's first dance. It is a great solo performance; Matthew Morrison's voice is totally suited to the song and he radiates confident charisma."Just The Way You Are," Bruno Mars: This tribute to Kurt, led by his new brother Finn, was a solid cover of the Top 40 hit. It was an emotional performance- the look on Mr. Schue's face really said it all.
Though "Furt" had its sentimental moments, the major character insights and developments, couple with swift plot movement kept the episode from getting too sappy. It was definitely a game-changing hour for "Glee" on a multitude of levels, most prominently Kurt's decision to leave McKinley High and Finn.
Rating: 8/10
The next episode of "Glee" airs on November 30th at 8 p.m on Fox.

Technical writers produce a wide range of documents, such as data sheets, specifications, user guides, online help, marketing materials, proposals, tenders, reports, and more. Although the final layout of many of these documents is often done using FrameMaker, PageMaker, or QuarkXPress, far more documents are produced using Microsoft Word.
If you're in the business of writing technical documents and you've been using Word in particular, you could benefit by switching to OpenOffice.org Writer. OpenOffice.org Writer is a strong competitor to Word for both drafts and final layout (desktop publishing) of many technical documents because it combines some of the best features of Word and FrameMaker. Indeed, Writer does several things better or easier than each of them, as I'll discuss in this article. I cover this information in more detail in my book, OpenOffice.org Writer: The Free Alternative to Microsoft Word (O'Reilly Community Press, July 2004). I created the book using OpenOffice.org and output it to PDF for printing.
OpenOffice.org (OOo) is an open source application that runs on Windows, Macintosh, Linux, and Solaris. The application includes several components: a word processor (Writer), a spreadsheet utility (Calc), a presentations program (Impress), and a drawing function (Draw). It is available for download from the OpenOffice.org site. OOo documents are zipped files containing XML files and graphics files.
In addition to all the usual features you'd expect to find in a word processor (such as a spell checker, wildcard search and replace, embedding and linking of spreadsheets and graphics, the use of headers and footers, automatic tables of contents and indexes, and many others), Writer has many features of particular interest to technical writers. Here are a few of them:
Let's look at the good (and a few bad) points of each of these in a bit more detail.

If you plan to use Writer a lot, you'll want to take the time to set up the interface to suit your work and your personal preferences. Writer's default options at installation include some automatic features that you'll probably want to turn off. Many of these are found in Tools -> Options; others are in Tools -> AutoCorrect/AutoFormat. You can also change the menus and toolbars using Tools -> Customize.
Templates can store styles, text, graphics, and user-specific setup information such as measurement units, language, the default printer, and toolbar and menu customization.
You can create as many templates as you want--at least one for each type of document you produce. When you start a new document from one of these templates, much of the setup work is already done for you. If you wish, you can modify individual documents so that they are different from the template on which they are based. For example, you can include logos and standard text such as an address or a legal notice in the template, but you might not want them in every document based on the template.
All Writer documents are based on templates. If you don't specify a template when you start a new document, the document will be based on the default template for text documents. If you haven't specified a default, Writer uses the blank template that is installed with the program.
You can specify any template as the default template for text documents, and you can quickly and easily change the default template at any time. Changing a default template has no effect on existing documents.
Template handling has some features that I hope will be improved in a future release. For example, Writer provides two ways to save templates, but the consequences differ. If you use File -> Templates -> Save, any document subsequently based on that template will retain an association with the template. (I call these "sticky" templates.) If you use File -> Save As -> Template, documents based on the template will not retain an association with the template.
So what? you may ask. When you change a sticky template, the next time you open any document based on that template, you can choose to update the document's styles from the template. This feature is important if you want your documents to always reflect the latest changes to a template. Large projects, including master documents, and projects with more than one writer typically make extensive use of templates in this way.
Another problem is that Writer does not provide ways to attach a template to a document after the document is created, or to change the template attached to a document. In both cases, you'll need to create a new, blank document from the required template and copy the old document into it, or you'll need to use Format -> Styles -> Load to import styles from the new template into the document. Both methods work, but they are cumbersome.
My book covers some of the other template limitations. Despite these issues, templates work well, and most problems are a matter of learning some slightly different techniques than you've been used to in Word or another program.
A style is a set of formats that you can apply to selected pages, paragraphs, characters, frames, and other elements in your document to change their appearance quickly. When you apply a style, you apply a whole group of formats at the same time. Thus you can easily ensure consistency in page layout and the appearance of headings, captions, lists, graphics, and other elements. More importantly, you can quickly and easily change that appearance by changing the style in one place; all the elements tagged with that style will change immediately.
Writer supports styles for pages, paragraphs, characters, frames, and numbering. It comes with several predefined styles in each category. You can modify these styles, and you can also define custom styles. You can use any combination of styles to suit your document, and you can also override styles for specific paragraphs if you need to (such as tagging specific paragraphs to be kept with the subsequent paragraph).
Page styles define the basic layout (paper size, margin widths, placement of headers and footers, number of columns, and so on) of all pages in a Writer document. You can have one or many page styles in a single document; for example, you can define styles for the first page of each chapter, left and right pages, index pages, contents pages, landscape pages, and any other pages you might need. If you don't define your own page styles or choose one of the built-in styles, Writer uses the default page style supplied with the program. Although not as powerful as FrameMaker's master pages, Writer's page layout handling is more versatile than Word's.
Paragraph styles control all aspects of a paragraph's appearance, such as text alignment, tab stops, line spacing, spaces before and after the paragraph, first line indent, borders and shading, and a character style for the paragraph. If you plan to use Writer's table of contents feature, you'll need to be sure to tag all headings with appropriate paragraph styles (either the built-in ones or those you create yourself) so Writer can identify which paragraphs are headings. Tagging other paragraphs with specific styles, instead of using manual overrides, can also help you maintain consistent presentation--especially if you need to change any aspect of that presentation, such as the font size or the space before or after the paragraph.
Character styles affect selected text within a paragraph, such as font, size, boldface, italics, superscript, and other characteristics. These styles are particularly helpful for tagging items such as the names of controls on a user interface or perhaps a product name, but this usage is often overlooked. I learned the value of character styles the hard way while writing my book. I didn't use styles for these items; instead, I manually made bold the name of each menu bar item and toolbar button. When my O'Reilly editor asked me to remove the bold, I had to use search and replace to make the changes; then I had to look through the entire document to make sure I hadn't missed anything. If I had used a character style for those items, I could have changed them all instantly by simply changing the style.
Frame styles are used to format graphic and text frames, including wrapping type, borders, backgrounds, and columns.
Numbering styles apply alignment, fonts, and number or bullet characters to numbered or bulleted lists, and they outline numbered paragraphs such as headings. They are useful for a variety of purposes, including complex numbering schemes and dramatic layouts that involve large, bold numbers or graphics for bullet points.
You cannot change the underlying page style for an individual page, but you can control page layouts by using combinations of page styles, paragraph styles, tables, columns, and frames. Well-planned combinations can provide consistency throughout a document while allowing differences when needed; if you're creating a complex layout (for example, for a newsletter), Writer provides the flexibility you need.
After you have set up your basic page styles, you can look at the finer details of page layout. In many cases, you can control page layout by using paragraph styles alone. For example, you can define heading paragraphs to be flush with the left margin and paragraphs for text or graphics to be offset from the left margin.
In some cases, you might need to use other methods to place text or graphics where you want them. One of those methods is to use tables to position various page elements or to line up graphics or side heads in the margin with specific paragraphs.
You can also use columns for page layout, and you can switch between single- and multiple-column layouts on the same page. Columns can be of equal or unequal widths.
For complex layout purposes, you may find that frames are a better choice, because you have more control over the placement of text. Frames can be very useful if you are producing a newsletter or another layout-intensive document. Frames can contain text, tables, multiple columns, pictures, and other objects. You can link the content of one frame to another so that the contents flow back and forth between them as you edit the text.
Writer's change-tracking feature records who made which changes to a document. It is valuable when you are collaborating with other contributors to a document or when a document is edited or reviewed.
Writer's change-tracking feature is similar to Word's and thus is better than FrameMaker's. Although it has some minor irritating features, change tracking works well in Writer.
When working with large or complex documents (such as a book, a thesis, or a long report), you have two choices: keeping the entire document in one large file or breaking it up into a series of smaller ones. Each approach has its advantages and disadvantages. Smaller files are most useful when graphics, spreadsheets, or other included material causes the file size to become quite large, or when different people are writing different chapters or other parts of the document.
If you choose to use smaller files, you can often combine them into one large file at the end of the project before generating the table of contents and index. Another approach is to use a master document.
Yes, master documents do work in Writer--quite well, in fact. However, their use is full of traps for inexperienced users. Until you become familiar with the traps and how to avoid (or work around) them, you may think that master documents are unreliable or difficult to use.
You can use several methods to create master documents. Each method has its pluses and minuses. The method you choose depends on what you are trying to accomplish. In my book, I describe each of these methods and their good and bad points, and I give an extended example of how to set up a master document for a book with complex page-numbering requirements.
Technical writers typically use fields to hold information that changes (so that it can be easily updated), to create cross-references to other parts of a document (so that those references update automatically when the target's text or page number changes), to insert document information into headers and footers, to create custom numbering schemes, and for other purposes.
An annoyance for many people is Writer's lack of an automatically generated list of headings for use in cross-referencing. Instead, you must individually tag each heading (or other text element) as a target for cross-referencing. However, if you're accustomed to bookmarking items as targets instead of using a built-in list, then you'll find this feature to be quite familiar.
Other than that annoyance, fields work well and are quite versatile.
Conditional content is material that is marked so that it can be included or excluded from a document depending on a condition you specify. An example is a software manual for a product that comes in two versions, pro and lite. Both product versions have much in common, but the pro version includes some features that are not in the lite version. If you use conditional content, you can maintain one file containing information for both versions and print manuals (or create online help documents) customized for each version. Because you don't have to maintain two sets of the same information for both versions, you won't forget to update both versions when something changes.
One major advantage of Writer over Word is that Writer supports conditional content. Word doesn't, although you can use various workarounds to achieve a similar result. Thus Writer has incorporated one of FrameMaker's major attractions for technical writers, although Writer's implementation is more limited than FrameMaker's.
Writer handles conditional content in a few different ways:
Conditional text (two alternative words, phrases, or sentences), where one item is displayed and printed if the condition you specify is met, and the other is displayed and printed if the condition is not met. For example, the names of the pro and lite product versions can be set up as conditional text.
Hidden text (a word, phrase, or sentence), where you have only two choices: show or hide. If the condition you specify is met, the text is hidden; if the condition is not met, the text is displayed. For example, text relevant only to the pro version would be hidden for the lite version.
Hidden paragraphs are like hidden text but are entire paragraphs.
Hidden sections can include graphics, fields, and formatting. The contents of a hidden section behave just like the contents of any other part of the document, but you can specify a condition under which the section is not displayed or printed. You can also choose to display the section but not print it; and you can password-protect a section.
A bibliography is generated from bibliographic entries that you insert into a document either directly or from a bibliography database associated with the document. If you expect to use bibliographic entries in more than one document, you'll save a lot of time (and improve consistency) by creating and using a bibliography database (Tools -> Bibliography Database).
Writer makes this process easy, but it has some limitations. The biggest problem for some people is that you can't define more than one "short name" that will appear in your document when you insert a bibliographic reference; Writer uses the identifier for the database entry as the short name. Therefore, if you use the database to prepare documents that require different "short name" reference styles, you'll need to use some workaround for this limitation. For most people this isn't an issue, and if you number references within the text (for example, [1]), the short name doesn't matter.
Use the Insert Index/Table dialog to define the text reference delimiters and style as well as the appearance of the generated bibliography. The formatting choices are many and varied; setting them up to suit your needs may be tedious, but the time spent will pay off in the consistency of presentation and the ease of generating an end-of-book or end-of-article bibliography.
OOo's equation editor isn't as robust and versatile as MathType, but I've heard good reports from mathematicians and others who use it extensively. Unlike Word's equation editor, Writer's is included automatically with the standard installation of the program.
When you choose Insert -> Object -> Formula, you open a separate OOo Math window in which you can compose your equation.
Writer has a full macro language (OOo Basic), typically used for automating things you do repeatedly (to save keystrokes), for creating fill-in forms, and for a wide variety of other functions. OOo Basic is not the same as the language Microsoft Office uses (Visual Basic for Applications), but it has the same functionality. A recently published book by Andrew Pitonyak, OpenOffice.org Macros Explained (Hentzenwerke, 2004), provides an in-depth description of the macro language.
OOo provides a simple way to convert files into Portable Document Format (PDF), to be read by Acrobat Reader and other programs. The process generally produces good results, but you don't have the same control over those results that you do when using Adobe Acrobat to create PDF files. The Help file gives details of the built-in settings, which you cannot change. The biggest limitation is that files converted to PDF using OOo, either by using its built-in export-as-PDF function or by printing to a PostScript file and distilling using Adobe Acrobat, do not have bookmarks or working internal links like they do when created from Word or FrameMaker. This limitation may be a showstopper for some requirements.
If you need to share documents with users of Word, you can open Word files in Writer, edit them there, and save them as Word files. However, if you have used any of the powerful features of Writer (and sometimes even when you haven't), the output may not be quite the same when it's read by Word. Although some files will go back and forth between the two programs without major problems, other files definitely won't. It depends on which features of Word and Writer you've used.
In general, document contents convert fine, but layout may suffer and some fields are changed into text. If Writer doesn't support a feature of Word, Writer will make a substitution that may or may not be what you want. For example, Word's Styleref field, used in the headers and footers of many technical documents, is one that doesn't convert, because Writer doesn't have an equivalent field.
If your publication process uses one program (such as Word) for drafts and another for final layout, you'll probably find that Writer can easily be substituted for Word in the workflow.
If you need to convert existing documents from Microsoft Word to OOo Writer, OOo provides a batch-import function to assist you. However, Microsoft Office and OOo cannot run the same macro code. Office uses Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) code, and OOo uses StarBasic code, which is based on the OpenOffice.org API environment. OOo can load the macros in Office files, and you can then view and edit the macro code in OOo.
Whether you'll find OOo suitable for your work depends on what you do and what features you'll need to use. I've found Writer to be more compatible than Word with my working style and the requirements of documents I produce, once I got used to it. Most of the problems I've mentioned don't affect my work, but I can see situations in which they could present problems for other people.
Although Writer has crashed on me a few times, it has never corrupted my file, and it usually recovers all but the last few changes I've made. It's dealt with large, complex files without slowing down unacceptably.
Any other minor complaints I have with the program are known issues, many of which are being addressed in the next major release (version 2.0), expected in 2005.
I've looked briefly at a few of OpenOffice.org Writer's powerful features and their use by technical writers. If you use Word, you'll probably find that Writer can do the job just as well if not better, once you get used to its different approach to many things. However, you'll need to evaluate whether Writer's features and limitations are suitable for the requirements of your documents and working environment.

David Bowie, always an intriguing and inspirational character, lately seems to be having a fashion moment.
David Bowie, always an intriguing and inspirational character, lately seems to be having a fashion moment. His androgynous style is impacting everything from recent magazine editorials featuring Daphne Guinness and Tilda Swinton to entire collections emulating his style. Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen showed her C/R 13 collection of flared suits and glitzy metallics inspired the 1970s Ziggy Stardust days, and S/S 13 Jean Paul Guiltier drew from the same era, creating a colorful knit jumpsuit that recalled Bowie's iconic look by Kansai Yamamoto (even the wigs are a direct reference). Most recently, Preen's Pre-Fall 13 collection was inspired by Bowie's 1983 film, The Hunger. The Victoria and Albert Museum is opening a retrospective, "David Bowie is," March 23rd through July 28th which will include costumes, photography, films, set design and much more. Finally, after a 10 year silence, Bowie is released a new single, "Where Are We Now," from his new album, "The Next Day," to be released in March. We are huge fans of David Bowie at Stylesight, and celebrated his unique look in August's Glam Rock Trend Tracker; we're looking forward to seeing more interpretations of this brilliant fashion chameleon.

Qatar's National Flag Color – Pantone 222c (Qatar Red)
Updated: See new link here: http://blog.iloveqatar.net/2016/02/the-official-qatar-flag-colour-this-is-real-deal/
A colleague shared an interesting fact with me today. Qatar's exact Pantone is 222c. I decided that I wanted to find the exact shade and dived online.
Officially known in the color world as Qatar Red (not Maroon!), it's quite a hard color to print.
It took me a whole hour to replicate the exact shade of 222c (since versions on the web were inaccurate, photoshop's color profiles kept messing with shades, etc..).
For those interested. Best thing to do is shift to 'LAB' instead of RGB, keep it at 8bit, and then go through the swatch (and make a few adjustments using the color picker.)
I also put together the HEX code and RGB corresponding code in case someone wants to match it themselves 🙂
Here you go!

What is The Writer's Eye?
The Writer's Eye is an annual literary competition organized by the docents at the University of Virginia Art Museum, beginning this year on Monday, September 26, 2005. Tours will be given through November 15, 2005, with all entries due at the museum by Friday, November 18, 2005 at 5pm. Participants are invited to write either poetry or prose on selected artworks. Entries are judged in four age categories: grades 3-5, 6-8, 9-12 and University/Adult. Judges for entries in grades 3-8 will be both local writers and teachers from area private and public schools. High school, adult and University poetry entries will be judged by Stephen Marguiles, art historian and poet and Sydney Blair, associate professor of creative writing at the University of Virginia.
What Will a Tour be Like?
Tours are inquiry-based and involve a variety of activities designed to highlight relationships between writing and the artworks designated for this year's contest. During the tour, students and docents engage in discussion relating to connections between art and writing. For example, students may write a poem, "flesh out" characters in a painting and develop dialogue between them, or discuss similarities and differences between artists' and writers' narrative treatment of various themes. Students are especially encouraged to use rich, descriptive language. Tours are 45 minutes long with an additional 15 minutes allotted for writing, note taking and viewing the rest of the museum exhibits. Groups will have the opportunity to see many of the works on view, although there will not be time to discuss all of them.
Do I Have to be in a Tour Group to Enter?
No. In fact, the University of Virginia Art Museum will host two Writer's Eye Open Houses during the contest, to support teachers, students, adults and other individuals who are interested in finding out more information on the artworks or viewing them additional times. Participants will engage informally with museum docents to explore questions and investigate ways of thinking about the works on view. The dates for the open houses are Sunday, October 2, 2005, from 2-4pm and Tuesday, October 11, 2005, from 2-4pm.
Selecting a Work of Art
Please note: For this year's contest, participants may choose only from the selected works on view, marked with a blue star. It is very important that the participants record the titles and artists, as well as other identifying information, of all the potential works that interest them. During a tour, students will be considering which work of art they might choose to write about, although they will probably not make their final decision until later. Every group will be provided with a packet including an entry form at the time of their visit; however, students are encouraged to return to the museum during public hours, Tuesday through Sunday from 1-5pm, in order to explore the piece they choose more thoroughly.
Entering the Contest
Each tour group will receive entry forms detailing exactly how to go about entering the competition. Teachers, please ask your students to print clearly on the entry form, giving a complete address including ZIP code. Entries MUST be at the University of Virginia Art Museum by 5pm on Friday, November 18, 2005. LATE SUBMISSIONS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
The Writer's Eye information is available on the web. Images of all the works chosen for this year's competition and their information are accessible through the museum's online searchable database. To explore the site, visit www.virginia.edu/artmuseum. Entry forms may also be downloaded from the museum site; however, participants are required to visit the museum before writing about works on view. Come experience the artworks firsthand and get your application stamped as proof of the required visit.
Notification of the Winners
Letters will be sent to all first, second, third place and honorable mention winners the week of December 11, 2005. A reception and awards ceremony will be held in Campbell Hall on February 26, 2006 and will feature readings by the winners and comments from the judges. An anthology of the winning entries from each category will also be printed in celebration of ALL contestants and will be sent to participating schools.
We at the University of Virginia Art Museum regard The Writer's Eye program as a celebration of writing and the arts. Even if students choose not to enter the competition, the opportunity to explore the connections between art and literature, as well as artist and writer, is a wonderful experience. In this regard, everyone is a winner.
Enjoy the museum, we wish you exciting explorations and good luck!

If you've been following my recent GAPS adventures, you know I've been on the Introduction diet for about 2 1/2 months to heal from Fibromyalgia. It has been quite a roller coaster ride, but finally leveled off for the last couple weeks with little to no digestive issues or symptoms.
I have successfully been able to eat raw vegetables despite my bad reaction to lettuce towards the end of week 9 and have also added small bits of raw fruit with no upset. Since there is very little to write about as I finish up Intro and transition back to Full GAPS, I have decided to close this GAPS Intro series. I will continue to write about GAPS in the long run, though,
Today I'd like to share what I learned during this time, if I'm healed, and what I will be doing next.
What Did I Learn?
- It was not as difficult as I thought it would be. Now I can encourage others that they can do it, too.
- All the preparation was totally worth it! In fact, I still have some stewed meat in the freezer. I guess I better eat that up!
- I learned how to make an awesome cup of broth and hope to share it with you.
- I learned which foods cause loose stools and which ones cause constipation. This was great information when I was having digestive symptoms. I just ate the correct food which reduced or eliminated those problems. I hope to share this information in a future post, but it is all in the GAPS book or on the gaps.me website.
- I will always have stressors in my life that can cause symptoms or digestive upset. It's not always the food's fault!
- I had to get over not talking about my digestive system so I could share it with you. I would like to apologize, though, for being too graphic at times.
Am I Healed?
Not yet. But I feel much better than I did when I started the Intro diet and heaps better than I did before I started Full GAPS.
Last month my husband and I drove two hours round trip to the meat market to get our side of beef for the year, and I had a deja vu moment. I recalled the same trip the year before and remembered just how sick I really was. I had forgotten that my husband had to put the beef in the freezer and make dinner because I was so tired after the trip. This year he volunteered to put the beef away while I made dinner. I am so grateful to God for helping me to find healing through GAPS!
But I know there is more healing to come. I still have a little Fibromyalgia pain, but the stiffness in my feet seems to finally be gone. I'm also still struggling with sleep issues even though it improved for a time. And I have a long way to go to improve my stamina.
During the middle stages of Intro, I decided not to increase my intake of Bio-Kult because it was too difficult to differentiate between a food reaction or die-off from the Bio-Kult. During the last stages, I have increased my intake to two capsules and will continue to increase it until I reach the recommended therapeutic dose or until I reach an affordable dose. I will stay on full GAPS until my digestive symptoms have been stable for six months, as suggested by Dr. Campbell-McBride, before I begin to transition off the diet. I will try to blog about it as I stated at the beginning of this post.
What's Next?
- I want to write more "How-To" posts. I love writing these and hope to post about how to make GAPS-legal yogurt, sauerkraut, broth, etc., etc.
- More recipes!
- I will be writing more homesteading/gardening/sustainable-living posts.
- I want to do research on the Epstein-Barr virus since it has plagued me for 30 years. I have learned some fascinating facts about it this past year and want to continue my research so I can write up a knowledgeable post to help others.
- I am really interested in learning more about adrenal dysfunction and have enrolled in a course that will help me to understand this better. I'm super excited about this opportunity and pray it will be a way for me to help others get better. I also want to take nutrition classes in the future and one day hope to be a GAPS practitioner. Lord willing!
What was the most helpful thing you learned from this series? What would you like me write about in the future? I'm looking forward to hearing from you!

Probably the most interesting place I have been to so far.
Craig and Graeme deserve to top up the scoring up to 5+.
The house is located in a quite part of the town but not so far from the city centre.
Lovely stay in a Victorian styled house.
Just lovely.
Quiet music, beautiful arts, plants, antiques, and most of all very friendly and kind people, Craig and Graeme. They made our first visit to Melbourne really memorable. Thanks to arty home we could relax like home and the level of their service exceeded our expectation! I recommended this accommodation with confidence^^
When we arrived ad Graemes we felt like home immediately. The stay was just marvelous and wonderful, we enjoyed it very much.
Graeme was a very certain host. He gave us a lots of good useful information about the places we shell not miss to visit.He was willing every time to listen and talk to us. Melbourne as city itself is marvelous too.
Thanks much to Graeme for his solicitousness.
This is a perfect location with perfect hosts. It's a few minutes walk to all the Lygon Street fun, food, and fashion, and close to the entire University and inner city district. Amazing house, great room with all the convenience and feel of being in your own home. Thank you to Graeme and Craig who are exceptional in their welcome and hospitality. Absolutely fabulous!
We have and already had a great stay at Craig's house. All in all we have been here for 5 Weeks and stay for 1 more week now.
And we would definetly come back again!!
Craig and Graeme made us feel welcome from the first day :)
The house is very close to the city (30 min. of walking) and very nice and clean as well :) The rooms were both very good (we switched during the time).
All in all: Great stay, would ever come back again, nothing negative to say :)
Outstanding and very recommendable! 10/10
Craig and Graeam were very cultivated hosts and provided for an impeccable service. The location ( tram 96 into CBD and St. Kilda at yr feet or 20 min walk downtown ) as well as the décor of the house, the interior garden, the perfectly equipped kitchen and the bright,ample bathroom cannot be praised more.
We came as tourists and left as friends!
thank you for the use of a clean and very tidy house hold, full of atmosphere,both geentlemen were easy to talk to ,although I belted their ear about my life's experiences, they held up okay, would stay again any time

It was fun. One week of kayaking and eating and snorkeling
and being groovy.
We started off in Seattle, then flew to Mexico. Once there,
we ended up in this city where the ice-cold Coronas were a buck
each, and the guacamole was freshly made and outrageously good.
We walked around the town that
night and found a restaurant (actually, it was somebody's front
porch) where they served the best baked potatoes we've ever
We got to the kayaking spot the next day. We hated everybody
in our group, and quickly made up nasty nicknames for them all. We kept our distance
from everyone, and just took it easy the whole week. The food was pretty good,
considering that we carried it all with us in our boat.
The best day of the trip was when everybody decided to go on a hike.
Me and Don said, "Screw you guys, we're staying home". They all "poo-poo'd" us
and went on their hike. We had the camp to ourselves, and spent the day reading,
snorkeling, taking naps, stealing food and beer, and having a good-ass time. After
about five hours, the rest of the group got back to camp. It was obvious they had had
a f*cking miserable time, but they wouldn't admit it
Our guide was an annoyingly dumb blonde chick, but she had big boobies and small bikinis, so we let her slide.
The water was really clear, the weather was perfect, no bugs... couldn't have asked
for a nicer time to travel. The only thing we'd do differently next time is make sure we go with a group that has a motor boat for carrying the gear, and a bunch of Mexicans to carry our boats for us. We're American's, dammit! We shouldn't have to pack our own bags or carry our own things. How about a little service, god dammit?!!?

Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
Could this be why Madara was so attached to Obito all the time?
Obito is older than Shisui
well if Shisui was older than Obito than that's possible
They should be about the same age. He was only a little older than Itachi
Does madara even know who Shisui Uchiha is ? I think they never met before..
hmm like u said i dont think madara has ever met shisui uchiha before....although he was quite famous
Yeah true.. I really want to know who his dad is
Originally Posted by mistype
Madara never met shisui he was trapped under his dirt passage way during the time shisui was running around and plus obito is older than shisui so no
Originally Posted by Cursed Prince

A little older? Dude Obito is around the same age as kakashi when obito attacked the village with kurama he was around 14-16 years old and that was during the time sasuke was first born and there's only a couple years between sasuke and itachi maybe 2-4. And shisui was maybe 1-2 years older than itachi so there's a good 10 years between obito and shisui
Shisui is nowhere near old enough to be Obito's father and on top of that I'm pretty sure Obito is older than Shisui
Originally Posted by SageOfTheSixPaths01

its more likely shisui is obito's younger brother
all uchiha's have a younger and older brother kind of pact one with curse of hatred one will of fire
Not sure but maybe even with Madara-Izuna
this thread is impossible
older obito>Itachi=shisui age
[GLOW][/GLOW]Itachi Uchiha met Shisui Uchiha and they were best friends. Obito is way older than itachi and shisui. The only ninja that comes to my mind that i think is obito's dad is Kagami Uchiha?

Steady Rests and Follower Rests Information
Steady rests and follower rests are lathe accessories that hold a long workpiece steady during turning. Steady rests are mounted to the bed and do not move with the lathe. They ensure concentricity, but limit the length of the supporting cut. Follower rests are so named because they attach to the saddle and move along with or "follow" the lathe.
Typically, steady rests are used to provide support for longer cuts. Both steady rests and follower rests are used with cylindrical parts and round stock that cannot be center-mounted in a tailstock. They keep the workpiece from wobbling and ensure that a drilled hole will be concentric with the outside diameter (OD) of the part.
Selecting Steady Rests and Follower Rests
Selecting steady rests and follower rests requires an understanding of mounting requirements. Steady rests mount three adjustable blades in a holder which attaches to the bed of the lathe. These blades, which are usually made of brass, can be adjusted to the diameter of the part to provide support during turning. With small diameter parts, lathe operators may need to remove a blade's corners to ensure that the blades contact the part, but do not touch each other.
Typically, a steady rest is setup by mounting the part to be machined in a collet or three-jaw chuck. After the blades are set and locked in place, the steady rests can be adjusted to support the free end of the workpiece. A dial indicator mounted on the cross-slide can be used to check the accuracy of the setup. Unlike steady rests, follower rests have a top pad and a rear pad, both of which are usually made of brass. The top pad prevents the workpiece from climbing up. The rear pad keeps the part from being pushed away. Because the follower rest provides support along the outside diameter, the part remains concentric with this measurement. With large-diameter parts, follower rests are often supported by a center. When using a center to support the free end, newer lathes may have a cutout in the tailstock which allows the end to overlap the table. Older machines may require the use of a tailstock spindle extension.

In May 2008, AARP Florida, in partnership with The Hospice of the Florida Suncoast and Florida Hospice & Palliative Care, commissioned a survey of AARP members on caregiving and end-of-life issues.
Key findings:
- 13% of respondents are providing unpaid care for a relative, friend, spouse, companion, or partner
- A third have been providing care for at least 6 years, and 45% have been providing care for 1-5 years
- If they could choose where to die, 58% would choose to die at home
- 9 in 10 have heard of hospice services, and 8 in 10 have a very or somewhat favorable opinion of them
- 64% have talked with their spouse, partner, or another family member about their wishes for care at the end of life
- 57% have completed a last will and testament, and 53% have completed a living will
This mail survey was conducted in May and June 2008 among a random sample of 3,024 AARP members aged 50 and older. For more information, contact Terri Guengerich at 202-434-6306. (33 pages)

Critical Vulnerabilities In Adobe Flash Content May Lead to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Attacks
Monday January 14 2008 11:55:00 EST
At this time there have been no reported incidences of this exploit from Purdue hosts.
Critical vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash content have been found which leave potentially hundreds of thousands of websites and a considerable percentage of major Internet sites susceptible to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks that would allow malicious individuals to steal personal details of visitors.
* SWF files generated by some of the more popular Flash authoring/development tools automatically contain the vulnerability. Those programs include Adobe DreamWeaver, Adobe Connect (Macromedia Breeze), TechSmith Camtasia, InfoSoft FusionCharts.
*This problem is not limited to authoring tools alone. Autodemo, a popular service provider, used a vulnerable controller SWF in many of their projects. Autodemo is not the only service provider to have XSS in their products. They just happen to be the only service provider examined by the discoverers of these vulnerabilities. It is possible that other service providers use vulnerable SWFs also.
NOTE: The discoverers of this vulnerability were unable to perform an exhaustive review of all authoring tools that generate SWFs. It is possible that more XSS issues may exist in the products listed above as well as in other applications that save to SWF.
Researchers at Google and iSEC Parters, a well-known security firm, have discovered critical vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash applets which are found in potentially hundreds of thousands of sites operated by everything from financial institutions and government agencies to popular social networking and webmail services. The vulnerabilities reside in Flash applets (SWF files) themselves not the Flash player. The Flash applets are vulnerable to attacks in which malicious strings are injected into the legitimate code through cross-site scripting (XSS).
The vulnerabilities are explained in the book "Hacking Exposed Web 2.0: Web 2.0 Security Secrets and Solutions", which recently hit store shelves. According to the book's authors a web search reveals more than 500,000 vulnerable applets on major corporate, government and media sites. Author Alex Stamos said, "Lots of people are vulnerable, and right now there are no protections available other than to remove those SWFs and wait for the authoring tools and/or Flash player to be updated."
A potential attack scenario would go something like this: "A bank website hosts marketing graphics in the form of a vulnerable Flash applet. Attackers who trick a customer into clicking on a malicious link are able to execute the SWF file but inject malicious code variables that cause the customer's authentication cookies or login credentials to be sent to the attacker." Details about the individual vulnerabilities and methods of attack can be found in the links provided in the "FURTHER INFORMATION AND RESOURCES" section.
* The "asfunction" protocol handler vulnerability has been addresses by the
critical update released for Adobe Flash Player on December 18th 2007. It
is highly recommended to update Flash player to this version as soon as
* Currently there are no patches available for the remaining
vulnerabilities. An Adobe representative said patches should be released
in the next few weeks but would likely only provide a partial fix. In
the meantime, end users can employ the Firefox plug-in NoScript or use
other methods to block Flash on sensitive websites.
Website Owners:
* Please:
o Remove vulnerable SWFs from your website
o Follow the manufacturers' advice on republishing your SWFs
+ Adobe - See
+ Autodemo - Contact your producer or email
+ Techsmith - Camtasia Studio users can upgrade to Camtasia
Studio version 5 to obtain a version which creates SWF files
that do not have this vulnerability (visit www.techsmith.com).
Users who are concerned about this vulnerability can
regenerate their SWF content with Camtasia Studio version 5.
+ Infosoft - Contact support
* It is likely that other authoring tools that automatically generate SWFs
can be used for XSS attacks. We highly recommend that website owners
serve automatically generated SWFs from numbered IP addresses or from
"safe" domains (i.e. domains that contain no sensitive cookies or domains
that cannot be used for phishing)
* Depending on the impact of XSS on a given website, website owners may
want to even consider moving or removing all third-party generated SWFs
Flash Authoring Tools Developers and All Flash Developers:
- - Flash based XSS is not limited to authoring tools. Unfortunately, common
design patterns used in many Flash applications introduce XSS issues, so
all Flash developers, including Flash authoring tools developers, should
do the following:
* Test your SWFs with Stafano Di Paola's SWFIntruder. If you don't, others
* Perform proper input validation on all user definable variables used in
URL loading functions and the "htmlText" fields. For example:
o Where possible, whitelist protocol handlers to only allow "http:"
and "https:" in all functions that require URLs
o When using "getURL()", whitelist user definable input (e.g, only
allow alphanumeric characters). Do not rely on the "escape()"
o Depending on the context, whitelist, URL encode, and/or HTML entity
encode user input in "htmlText" fields
o Within your Flash applications, load supporting SWF files, images,
and sounds from relative URLs. Disallow absolute URLs. Be aware of
open redirectors on your site. Consider rejecting relative URLs
containing "..", ".%2e", etc. that attackers could use to traverse
to open redirectors.
* Read Adobe's "Creating more secure SWF web applications" document
NOTE: Detailed Flash hacking techniques and solutions can be found in
"Hacking Exposed Web 2.0: Web 2.0 Security Secrets and Solutions".
