Many of the files on the MinGW Sourceforge File Release System have very long and intricate names, and it's often hard to determine (a) exactly what you need to download, and (b) what each of the various downloads actually contains. For example:
is gibberish, unless you know how to interpret it. Well, gentle reader, you're come to the right place!
First, a disclaimer: at the time of writing, most of the files on the File Release System do not yet follow the naming scheme described below. However, we expect that once this schema is finalized, many packages will be rapidly repackaged to adhere to the new standard. Until then...
Second, Keith Marshall has written a program to automatically parse, validate, interpret, and display package names in a human-readable format. See the Automated Parser section, below.
The MinGW project has developed a schema for naming packages distributed by the project. In general, package names are structured as a sequence of fields delimited by hyphens, and terminated with archive and/or compression extensions. The schema is defined as follows:
<archive-name> ::= <package-id>[["-"<system-id>]][[-<status>]]"-"<type-id> <package-id> ::= <package-name>"-"<version>[["-"<build-id>]] <system-id> ::= <system-name>[["-"<version>[["-"<build-id>]]]] <type-id> ::= <component-id>"."<format-type>[["."<compression-type>]] <package-name> ::= !"-"{!"-"} <version> ::= <major>[["."<minor>[["."<patchlevel>]]]] <major> ::= "0".."9"{"0".."9"} <minor> ::= "0".."9"{"0".."9"}[[<suffix>]] <patchlevel> ::= "0".."9"{"0".."9"}[[<suffix>]] <suffix> ::= {!("0".."9"|"-"|".")} <build-id> ::= <datestamp>|<serial-number>{"-"<serial-number>} <serial-number> ::= "0".."9"{"0".."9"} <datestamp> ::= <serial-number> ; nominally 8 digit date as YYYYMMDD ; (currently unenforced, however) <system-name> ::= !("0".."9"|"-"|"."){!("-"|".")} <status> ::= ("alpha"|"beta"|"stable")[[-<build-id>]] <component-id> ::= <component-class>[["-"<component-version>]] <component-class> ::= !("0".."9"|"-"|"."){!("-"|".")} <component-version> ::= "0".."9"{!("-"|".")} <format-type> ::= !("-"|"."){!("-"|".")} <compression-type> ::= !("-"|"."){!("-"|".")} <format-type> is expected to take one of the nominal values from the set "exe"|"tar"|"zip"; however, this is not enforced. <compression-type> is expected to take one of the nominal values from the set "bz2"|"gz"|"lzma"; however, this is similarly not enforced.
While at first glance this schema may seem complicated, its flexibility is necessary to support the various goals and requirements of the packaging system under development:
- Implicit association between source packages and compiled binaries. Aside from representing good practice and promoting repeatability, many of the binary packages provided by the MinGW project are licensed under the GPL. Obvious source-binary association aids in GPL compliance.
- The MinGW project supports three (possibly four) different build environments. These can include "native" win32 binaries; "MSYS" binaries used to enhance the development process when using MinGW tools to compile native win32 binaries; and "MSYS" binaries used to self-host the MSYS tools themselves. (The fourth build environment would include such things as cross-compilers and cross-sysroot packages. At present, MinGW supports only a build script so that interested parties can construct these cross-toolchains themselves. MinGW does not currently distribute pre-built cross-compilers).
- Increased granularity of compiled products compared to earlier MinGW products. This allows end users to download only what is explicitly needed for their environments, without forcing all users to download the universe of precompiled MinGW packages.
- Explicit version tracking, including upstream package versions and MinGW-specific build versions.
- Parseable: the package names must be explicitly parseable by an automated utility. This will allow a future MinGW installer to be used for maintaining and upgrading existing MinGW installations, as well as allowing that installer to understand the dependencies between binary packages.
For example, consider the following package name:
By parsing the name using the schema above, we have
Package Name: guile Package Version: 1.8.4 Package Build: 1 Subsystem Name: msys Subsystem Version: 1.0.11 Subsystem Build: <unspecified> Release Status: <unspecified> Release Reference: <unspecified> Component Type: dll Component Version: 17 Archive Format: tar Compression Type: lzma
In other words, this package contains one or more DLLs that are part of the guile distribution. These DLLs have an associated version number "17"; the upstream package version is 1.8.4. For more information about DLL version numbering on win32, this page, while specific to cygwin and libpng, gives a good overview of the issues and rationale, and is applicable here. The package has been compiled such that it requires the MSYS environment, specifically version 1.0.11, of MSYS (it may or may not work with other versions of MSYS). This is the first build of this specific package for this subsystem. It is distributed as an lzma-compressed tar file.
Each field within the package name is described below, including various notes about the possible or typical values.
Package Name
This is usually the name of the "upstream" source project. For instance, if the upstream project is called flex, then the main executables from that project, as compiled by the MinGW or MSYS team, will be distributed using the Package Name flex. In some cases, a single "upstream" project may be distributed by mingw.org in several separately downloadable files. These separate files will, in general, have the following characteristics:
- Their contents will be disjoint; that is, no individual installed file will be provided by more than one downloadable package of the same subsystem-id, version, and release.
- The union of all such packages for a single "upstream" source project, of the same subsystem-id, version, and release, will provide the complete installation profile of that upstream project, as compiled for the MinGW or MSYS environment.
- All such packages for a single "upstream" source project, with the same subsystem-id, version, and release, will be identically named with the following exceptions:
- The Component Type will differ
- The Component Version may be present on some, but not all, of the packages in the set
- The Package Name may, in some circumstances, vary. For instance, the bzip2 upstream project will be distributed by the MinGW team in five separate packages (see Component Type, below, for a description of the difference between these five (sub)packages). The -dll- package has a different name, reflecting the name of the actual DLL that it provides, rather than the base name of the package. This helps when specifying dependencies between packages.
- bzip2-1.0.5-1-mingw32-bin.tar.lzma
- bzip2-1.0.5-1-mingw32-dev.tar.lzma
- bzip2-1.0.5-1-mingw32-doc.tar.lzma
- libbz2-1.0.5-1-mingw32-dll-1.tar.lzma
- bzip2-1.0.5-1-mingw32-src.tar.lzma
- Typically, all such packages for a single "upstream" source project, with the same subsystem-id, version, and release, will be presented on the SourceForge File Release System as the elements of a specific Release of a specific Package (where the terms Release and Package in this sentence refer to the SourceForge FRS nomenclature). For instance, the example above would be presented in the File Release System as:
Package: MinGW Utilities - bzip2 Release: bzip2-1.0.5-1-mingw32 File: bzip2-1.0.5-1-mingw32-bin.tar.lzma File: bzip2-1.0.5-1-mingw32-dev.tar.lzma File: bzip2-1.0.5-1-mingw32-doc.tar.lzma File: libbz2-1.0.5-1-mingw32-dll-1.tar.lzma File: bzip2-1.0.5-1-mingw32-src.tar.lzma Release: bzip2-SomeOtherVersion-N-mingw32 File(s): ... Package: MSYS Utilities - bzip2 Release: bzip2-1.0.5-1-msys File(s): ...
Package Version
This field represents the version of the source code for the project, as obtained from the "upstream" project site. It is generally the dot-delimited numeric version number of the "upstream" project in the form X.Y.Z, where X is the major version, Y is the minor version, and Z (if present) is the micro version or patchlevel. The last such "number" may also have an alphabetic suffix, such as 2.3beta, or 1.4.5rc.
When building packages derived from unofficial upstream releases (such as a snapshot of the upstream project's ongoing development), it is helpful to specify either a serial number or a datestamp as part of the Package Version. This is may be indicated in one of several ways:
- specify the version AND a datestamp within the Package Version field, as in libtool-2.2.7a_20090710 (note that there is an underscore separating 2.2.7a and 20090710, not a hyphen or decimal point. Using a hyphen would cause the datestamp to be interpreted as part of the Package Build; see below for why that is discouraged. Using a decimal point could interfere with the major/minor/patchlevel interpretation.)
- specify only the datestamp, with a source control suffix, as in libtool-20090710git_pr. This example indicates a snapshot of the upstream git repository taken on July 10, 2009, from the pr branch. No hyphens should be used. If the default branch is used (project dependent, but generally trunk for cvs or svn; master for git), then it need not be specified: libtool-20090710git.
- use a serial number indicating successive snapshots from the upstream source control repository, as in libtool-2.2.7a_14 which indicates the fourteenth snapshot taken by the MinGW team of the libtool development branch. This is less informative than the other two alternatives, as it requires the end user to do some investigation to determine exactly when the fourteenth snapshot was taken.
Package Build
This field is reserved for indicating successive builds of the '''same''' upstream source. For instance, suppose the official upstream <nowiki>zlib-1.2.3.tar.gz</nowiki> source distribution is used, in two successive instances, to build packages for the ''mingw32'' subsystem, '''but''' with the following distinctions:
- In the first case, the upstream source distribution is used unmodified
- In the second case, the upstream source distribution is used, but the zlib-1.2.3-mingw32-src.tar.gz package distributed from mingw.org includes a build script that applies a custom patch to correct some portability issue.
In both cases, the "upstream" project version is 1.2.3. To distinguish between the two builds, the Package Build field is used. Generally, it is a sequential build serial number (zlib-1.2.3-1, zlib-1.2.3-2, etc) but may instead be a datestamp as in zlib-1.2.3-20090710. Generally a sequential serial number is preferred, as the combination of upstream source control datestamps and build datestamps can become confusing while providing no useful additional information: libtool-2.2.7a_20090710-20090712.
As an alternative, packages unique to the MinGW project which undergo heavy development outside of the confines of the upstream project -- such as the elements of the MinGW gcc packages themselves -- can also use the Release Status and Release Reference fields below, instead of the Package Build field.
Subsystem Name
The Subsystem Name indicates the "host" for which the package was configured (as in, --host=mingw32 or --host=msys). Indirectly, for official MinGW-project distributed packages, it also indicates the standard installation prefix for which the package was configured.
Generally speaking, there are three possible values for the Subsystem Name. These are mingw32, msys, and mingwPORT. In the future, other subsystems such as mingw64 may be supported. Also, if no specific subsystem applies, then the Subsystem Name may be omitted. This would be the case for completely unmodified -src packages (see Component Type, below) or for the mingw-cross build script package which is intended for use on any non-MinGW host, such as cygwin or GNU/Linux.
In general, these packages were configured using --host=mingw32 (or, were configured and built "natively" within an MSYS environment, in which --host was not explicitly specified; in this circumstance, these builds behave as if --host=mingw32 was specified). In addition, these packages were all configured using --prefix=/mingw (or, in many cases, --prefix=`cd /mingw && pwd -W`; this formulation should always resolve to C:\MinGW for official MinGW packages).
In almost all cases, these packages contain native win32 executables and libraries, and are usable without an MSYS installation. However, in some few cases the packages may also contain scripts written in shell or perl. In these cases, the scripts may not operate correctly unless an MSYS installation also exists.
One notable group of packages that contain such scripts are the family of autotool packages with the mingw32 Subsystem Name. These package are:
- autoconf
- automake
- libtool
- gettext
Other packages, such as bzip2, provide primary functionality via native executables and libraries. Such executables and libraries may be expected to operate correctly in the absence of MSYS. However, such packages may provide additional features via scripts; these scripts are likely to require MSYS.
In most cases, official MinGW packages with the mingw32 Subsystem Name should be installed into the C:\MinGW directory. You may achieve limited success installing these packages into a different directory, but this is not generally recommended. (If you do choose to install in a different directory, please ensure that you choose a location which does not have white space within its absolute path name. In particular, no package designated by a Subsystem Name of mingw32 should ever be installed into the Program Files tree, so popular among MS-Windows developers -- if you ignore this advice, you will break your installation; please resist the temptation to email us, or to file a bug report, telling us so). The official recommendation is to install pre-compiled packages from mingw.org with the mingw32 Subsystem Name into C:\MinGW.
If you intend to use MinGW packages bearing the mingw32 Subsystem Name in an MSYS hosted environment, (as several are intended to be used), you should ensure that the MinGW installation tree is mounted on the MSYS /mingw mount point; this is achieved, by ensuring that the MSYS /etc/fstab file contains an entry of the form:--
C:/MinGW /mingw
(This is applicable for a completely standard MinGW installation. If you chose an alternative installation directory, you should substitute the appropriate full absolute path, in place of C:/MinGW).
These packages were configured using --host=msys and compiled using the special msysdvlpr environment. Binary executables and libraries in these packages depend on the MSYS DLL; they are not "native" mingw32 applications. These packages were configured using --prefix=/usr (and will never have been configured using the --prefix=`cd foo && pwd -W` formulation). It is expected that these packages will be unpacked in the /usr==/ directory -- that is, they should be unpacked into the versioned root directory for msys. Typically, this is C:\msys\1.0, (subject to the same caveats regarding white space, as stipulated above for the mingw32 subsystem, should you choose to relocate this).
Packages with the msys Subsystem Name are part of the msys environment, and generally help to provide a more "unix-like" experience for users building native mingw32 applications.
These packages consist entirely of shell scripts automating the process of building software on your own computer in a repeatable manner. mingwPORTs can be used to download the original source code, unpack, patch, compile it using the MinGW GCC compiler tools using customized settings, and install the newly-compiled software on your system. These packages can only be used from within an MSYS environment. As the installed results will have been compiled using the MinGW compiler, these installed results could be considered similar in most respects to the prepackaged binary distributions in the mingw32 subsystem as described above. In the future, it is possible that some mingwPORTs may support a mingw64 compiler; so it is possible that, depending on the characteristics of the compiler you choose to use when "running" the mingwPORT script(s), the installed results may instead be similar to some hypothetical mingw64 subsystem.
However, the mingwPORT itself is neither fish nor fowl: it is not itself an msys package, nor a mingw32 package. mingwPORTs are not "configured" and thus there is no tell-tale --host=??? argument we could use to infer a specific subsystem. Therefore, mingwPORTs are given their own Subsystem Name.
To sum up, if the package was configured using --host=mingw32 either explicitly or implicitly, then it will have the mingw32 Subsystem Name, AND it will have been configured using --prefix=/mingw or --prefix=`cd /mingw && pwd -W`, whichever is appropriate. Note that this will be true regardless of the contents of the package:
- If the package's functionality is primarily provided by compiled executables and libraries, then the fact that it may happen to also provide a few ancillary scripts, which only work on MSYS, is immaterial. The --host for the compiled executables controls, and the "extras" are just carried along for the ride.
- If the package's functionality is primarily provided by scripts which require an msys scripting host for proper operation, then the --host still controls, even if it makes little difference to the actual content of the scripts themselves, and even if it differs from the required script host. For example, automake-*-mingw32 is completely useless without an MSYS script host, but because the package was configured with --host=mingw32 (and --prefix=/mingw), it has a Subsystem Name of mingw32 and should be installed/unpacked into C:\MinGW.
Subsystem Version
In some cases, it is important to distinguish between different versions of the Subsystem Name. That is, some packages may be specific to MSYS-1.0.10, while others may require MSYS-1.0.11. Still others may require features present only in the (future) MSYS-1.0.12beta. It is also possible that some binary packages for the mingw32 subsystem may be specific to some version of the windows operating system, although that is unlikely. To distinguish these builds, the Subsystem Version and Subsystem Build fields may be used. As with the Package Version, this field is generally a "dotted triple" version number, such as 1.3.2.
To specify windows operating system versions, these rules may be adopted:
- For NT and above, use the dwMajorVersion and dwMinorVersion version numbers from OSVERSIONINFOEX.
- For win9x, use "95sp2", "98", "Me" etc.
However, it is not expected that this sort of qualification of Subsystem Version value, specifying the required windows OS for a mingw32 package, will be necessary. In most cases, mingw32 itself is already sufficiently explicit, (and any future package, built explicitly for 64-bit systems, would bear a mingw64 Subsystem Name).
Subsystem Build
If necessary to distinguish between two different builds of the same Subsystem Version, such that a particular package will work with MSYS-1.0.11-20080908 but not MSYS-1.0.11-20080712, this field is available. We do not expect this field to be used often.
Release Status
Generally, this field is used only for packages that undergo extensive, and iterative, development by the MinGW team, outside the confines of the upstream project. The prime example here is the elements of the MinGW GCC packages themselves. There are several possible values:
- alpha: Unstable, work in progress. Probably has many known and unknown sharp edges; you will get cut.
- beta: Unstable, but suitable for most users to begin experimenting. Don't use it for production code.
- rc: Release candidate. Ready for general use, and needs community involvement to flush out and fix any last minute bugs. These will probably be minor.
- stable: Final production release. Most stable releases will omit the Release Status field entirely; thus, it follows that any current package which omits this qualifier is considered to be a stable release.
Release Reference
Like the Release Status field, this one is used only for packages that undergo extensive, and iterative, development by the MinGW team, outside the confines of the upstream project. This field consists of either a serial number, or (more commonly) a datestamp indicating the release date. It cannot appear unless there is also a Release Status value. For example, the current gcc-core package is named:
but it could have been named:
The next refresh (if there is one prior to the upstream rollout of 4.4.1) of MinGW gcc 4.4.0 could be named one of
gcc-core-4.4.0-2-mingw32-bin.tar.gz gcc-core-4.4.0-mingw32-stable-YYYYMMDD-bin.tar.gz
without confusion.
Component Type
This field is required. It is generally a short (three-character) string that indicates the type of files contained in the package. The following list is not exhaustive:
- bin: Contains the "compiled" results of the package, with certain exceptions if one of the other Component Types provides a better fit. Generally, these are binary executables for the specified Subsystem Name, but bin packages may also include scripts written in various languages, configuration files necessary for proper operation of the included executables, and other items. bin packages do not typically contain documentation such as man pages or info files.
- dev: There are generally two types of projects whose MinGW package set includes a dev package: those projects that provide reusable libraries; and those packages that provide both utilities of general use, and other utilities that are of interest only to developers. The former category includes such projects as zlib, libpng, or libxml. These projects may also provide utility programs (which MinGW would distribute in a bin package). The latter category includes projects such as gettext, which provides general use tools such as gettext.exe, but also developer-centric utilities such as msgcat.exe and autopoint. For libraries, the dev package contains the header files, static libraries, import libraries, and sometimes API documentation of interest and use to developers. dev packages may also contain the developer-centric utilities and associated documentation. These packages may also contain coding examples and demonstration projects. In short, dev packages are a grab-bag of all the items of interest to developers. The intention is to allow the size of the other (sub)packages, such as bin, doc, and dll packages, to be minimized.
- doc: Generally contains the man pages and info files associated with the applications in the related bin package. May also contain README files and other documentation (typically whatever is installed into {prefix}/share/doc).
- man: In some cases, the package set maintainer may choose to separate unix-style manual page documentation into a separate package. More rarely, some package sets may ship only man documentation and no other documentation at all. In these cases, the man Component Type is available.
- sh: Generally used with packages whose Subsystem Name is mingwPORT. As mingwPORTs consist entirely of shell scripts used to build mingw32 packages, but operate only in MSYS-hosted mingw32 environments (or possibly, mingw64 environments), the other Component Types could be misleading. Therefore, this one was invented. The package name also then becomes a mnemonic for the proper use of the mingwPORT script itself:
is a reminder that you should do
after unpacking the mingwPORT.
- dll: Contains one or more DLLs, and only DLLs. These packages are often listed as dependencies of other dll or bin packages. Keeping these packages limited to DLLs alone helps minimize the installation footprint of MinGW and MSYS components. Generally, these packages are the only ones to use the Component Version field, to help distinguish between library versions that provide (incompatible) ABIs. Often, these packages' Package Name will differ from that of the other (sub)packages derived from the same src, even when the Package Version, Package Build, and Subsystem Name are otherwise identical; in these cases, the Package Name of the dll package is patterned after the name of the actual DLL provided. This helps when identifying dependencies between (other) packages.
- src: This package provides the source code used to create all of the other associated (sub)packages. If the installed packages are created from unmodified upstream source code, using a standard configure --prefix= --host= && make && make install procedure, then this package can simply be a renamed version of the upstream source "tarball" AND the Subsystem Name may be ommitted. That is
cp foo-1.0.0.tar.gz foo-1.0.0-1-src.tar.gz
However, if the source as built differs at all from that provided by the upstream project, then it is recommended to structure the src package as a "tarball within a tarball", as follows:
foo-1.0.0-1-msys-src.tar.lzma contains: foo-1.0.0.tar.gz (upstream source tarball) foo-1.0.0-1-msys-build.sh (or similar. Basically, a build script. Debian fans use a GNUMakefile) foo-1.0.0-1-msys-<description>.patch foo-1.0.0-1-msys-<description>.patch foo-1.0.0-1-msys-<description>.patch
where the build script can automatically unpack the "inner" tarball, apply the associated patches, and drive the configure/build process. For extra credit, the build script could also make install --prefix=/tmp/prefix and create the associated bin (and doc, and dev, etc) packages. For those familiar with the mingwPORT system, an alternative src structure is
foo-1.0.0-1-mingw32-src.tar.lzma contains: foo-1.0.0.tar.gz (upstream source tarball) foo-1.0.0-1-mingwPORT-sh.tar.gz (the mingwPORT bundle)
To use this variant, one would unpack the "outer" tarball, unpack the inner mingwPORT, and then run the mingwPORT.sh script after changing the current directory to foo-1.0.0/mingwPORT/. Packagers should take care to ensure that the distributed foo-1.0.0/mingwPORT/mingwPORT.ini contains appropriate defaults. Because mingwPORTs are specifically designed to automate repeatable builds of mingw32 packages (or possibly, mingw64 ones), this src variant is useful only for package sets whose Subsystem Name is mingw32 (or possibly, mingw64).
- ext: Anything that doesn't fit in the other categories.
Component Version
In most cases, packages whose Component Type is dll will also specify a numeric Component Version. Generally, dll packages contain a single DLL whose name is, for example, msys-intl-8.dll. The Component Version should match the version number of that DLL -- in this case, 8, as in libintl-*-msys-dll-8.tar.lzma.
Archive Format
Usually one of four values:
- tar: Most common and recommended; this archive format is the lingua franca of the unix world. Tar archives distributed by the MinGW project should never contain hard links; this is to ensure that the archives may be unpacked by tools which do not understand those constructs, and to ensure that the distribution can be installed on FAT drives that do not support hardlinks. To ensure this, packagers should use the --hard-dereference option when generating archives for distribution. Tar archives with Subsystem Name mingw32 must not contain symbolic links; this is automatic when generating distributable installations from a "native" environment (that is, an MSYS environment in its normal, impersonate mingw32 personality). Packagers who use a cross-compile environment should take special care, and use the --dereference or -h option when generating archives for distribution.
- zip: Discouraged. While .zip files are common on windows and implicitly supported by modern versions of the OS, most windows tools for manipulating .zip files do so in ways that can badly break a MinGW or MSYS installation. (In particular, many unzip tools automatically convert line endings from "unix" to "dos" format; this often has unforeseen, and quite unfortunate, results.)
- exe: Self-extracting archives.
- 7z: An inherently compressed multifile archive format. 7zip has good compression characteristics and the format is widely supported. However, it is still unfamiliar to many windows users. So far, only a few MinGW packages use this format.
Compression Type
For packages whose Archive Format is tar, one of several compression types is generally used:
- lzma: Recommended for new packages. lzma is a relatively new compression format, similar to the compression scheme used in 7z archives. Very fast decompression; fairly slow compression but gives superior results to bz2 and gz. Performs very well on archives that contain multiple copies of large executables (as is the case when the tar file was created using --hard-dereference). Supported by current and future MinGW installers. Supported by the MSYS tar available as part of the core MSYS installation. NOT supported by the native GNU tar and bsdtar ports provided by the GnuWin32 project. The MinGW team intends soon to provide both native and msys ports of bsdtar that support this compression format.
- bz2: Good compression, fairly common. Unfortunately, neither the built-in Windows Explorer archive facility, nor most common windows archive programs, support this format. It is, however, supported by the current and future MinGW installers, GnuWin32 GNU tar.exe, GnuWin32 bsdtar.exe, and the MSYS GNU tar available as part of the core MSYS installation. Does not perform well on archives that contain multiple copies of large executables (as is the case when the tar file was created using --hard-dereference).
- gz: The most common compression format in the unix world. Supported by everything. Very fast decompression, but compression ratio is generally unimpressive. Does not perform well on archives that contain multiple copies of large executables (as is the case when the tar file was created using --hard-dereference).
- xz: A refinement of the .lzma compression format provides a more robust file structure. Not yet supported by anything.
Automated Parser
To facilitate automatic machine parsed interpretation of package names, an automated parsing function has been developed, and will be deployed within the forthcoming mingw-get installation tool. This may also be deployed as a free standing command line tool, as an aid to validation and interpretation of package names; currently available as source code only, it may be found in the pkginfo subdirectory of the mingw-get CVS; (you will need both GCC and FLEX, to build pkginfo.exe from driver.c and pkginfo.l).

- Código:
This program has many different uses, or rather they are only limited by the number of user's imagination . One of these is the monitoring of log-ins to your all characters of your accounts. You will know whether the third party gets into your computer to log in to your character.
The second sample application is to assist in the sharing of account for games (accountsharing). Two players (Owners) install it on their computers and they know, who and when logged on the character.
The application of this comprehensive program is not limited only to these two examples, you can visit Forum to exchange experiences with other users, and learn how to use it in other ways.
Due to its construction, it's only for personal use and may not be use on the computers of the third party without their consent.
[SIZE="7"]How it works?
he principle of the program is simple banal. Just you need to turn on server on your computer and automatically, invisibly and quietly begins to monitor the laccount numbers and passwords entered or copied. And next filtering it, and then sending to the server, where you'll be able to see them again. Our safeguards like Anty_smap system make comming messages without any spam, and with the necessary information regarding your account.
You get Maker, through which you can configure according to your needs and create your keyloger. By Makar you can among other things, change the icon file, the file name, extension, bind to another file, or change the advanced options, such as compatibility, protective shell, or mode of action.

2. Why did you decide to go into business? What was your motivation? How long have you been in business? I decided to go into business after a falling out at my previous job 4 years ago. I told myself I would never work for someone like that again and decided to take my future into my own hands. I went to the library, took out books on candle making since I loved burning them and found a clean way to make them and sell them to others who love them as much as me. I have been doing this for over 3 years now.
3. What products do you make and sell? I make all natural soy candles, wax melts & I also personalize ceramic wall plaques as a décor item for your home, office, etc.
4. What are your business goals? My business goals are falling into place nicely. Someday very soon I hope to have a store of my own selling the products I make, along with many others from friends I have made along the way or inspired to take up a crafty hobby.
5. What are some products you use from Natures Garden? I love everything from Natures Garden. I buy my soy wax and scents. I love the choices available for scents. When my customers ask me if I have a scent I tell them there is a very good chance I can get it for them, which makes them happy customers!!

OTTAWA - The positions advertised on Ottawa's job bank sound enticing: bilingual customer service representatives for a company called Moneris Solutions in three New Brunswick cities, offering a competitive base salary, benefits, an annual bonus and an employee share ownership plan.
Just one problem: the posting went up in September and the jobs have long since been filled, even though the ad remains online on the job bank site.
The posting is just one of 112,853 jobs listed on the site Friday. But hundreds of those postings — from food service supervisors in B.C. to RCMP clerks in Saskatoon — went online several months ago and have already been filled.
A critical component of the besieged labour market opinion process, Canada's job bank is frequently lauded by the federal government. Employers are required to post job listings seeking Canadian workers first, and leave those ads up for four weeks, before they can be given the green light to hire temporary foreign workers.
Employment Minister Jason Kenney has said the job bank receives seven million hits a month from job-seekers. Tens of thousands of Canadians, he adds, have signed up for alerts about job openings in the past two years.
The government also relies in part from job bank data to determine what regions of the country are clamouring for labour.
But job-seekers complain that many of the jobs are old, and that employers rarely respond to emailed applications or queries for more information about the positions being advertised.
"I probably apply for about five jobs a month from the job bank and I have for a few months," said one job-seeker, speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of harming his employment prospects.
"I have never heard a word back from any of the companies I've applied to."
An email address set up by The Canadian Press in recent weeks has also failed to garner any responses from employers when asking for more information about postings in various sectors. One of the jobs included a shelf-stocking position at a Canadian Tire in Red Deer, Alta., that already employs several temporary foreign workers.
Some are suspicious of the job bank's true purpose as outrage mounts over the litany of federal and provincial government departments and companies — dog spa owners and hair salon operators among them — that have turned to temporary foreign workers in recent years.
Employers need only tell the government that they were unable to find a qualified Canadian after posting their positions on the job bank. There's scant oversight to ensure they're telling the truth.
"It's my opinion that many of the aviation jobs posted on the job bank are just there to fulfill the requirement that jobs must be posted there before an LMO is applied for," said Gilles Hudicourt, an Air Transat pilot who's become a vocal critic of the temporary foreign worker program in the aviation sector.
"I suspect that by the time employers are forced to place these ads on the job bank in order to qualify for an LMO, the temporary foreign workers they intend to hire already have names, faces and are, for all practical purposes, already employed by the Canadian employer. The ad just gives a false sense of hope to Canadian applicants."
The government acknowledged that Employment and Social Development Canada, in partnership with provinces, territories and external partners, maintains the site.
"However, employers are responsible for determining the length of time their job ad is featured on the job bank," a spokeswoman for the department said in an email.
"Employers ought to remove ads from the site if the position for the ad is filled .... It is important to note that it is the employers' responsibility to acknowledge receipt of application, arrange interviews or provide feedback on results of a hiring practice."
She added that if government officials are notified about ads on the site that have already been filled, the postings will be removed after consultation with employers.
Don Drummond, an economist who presented the government last year with 69 recommendations aimed at improving the quality of the information on Canada's labour markets, says the number of outdated postings on the job bank is yet another black eye for the Conservatives.
"It's certainly bizarre; surely they can develop some kind of automated mechanism that removes the job postings after four months, because it's hard to imagine anyone would be looking for employees for longer than that," said Drummond.
"You can't blame it on the employers; it's the government's site. And it would be simple to have protocols in place that removed outdated postings."
Such tweaks could also help provide the government with a more accurate picture of labour needs across the country, he added.

Certification Audit Complete, as Crabbers Await Stock Survey Results
By Margaret Bauman
Prices are down a bit, but demand remains strong, as harvesters of Alaska's deadliest catch, albeit multi-million dollar crab fishery await stock survey results that will determine quotas for the 2013-2014 fishery.
Online marketers in Alaska like FishEx, in Anchorage, were asking nearly $36 a pound in early August for frozen giant king crab legs, nearly $49 a pound for Alaska king crab meat and $29.21 a pound for split Alaska red king crab legs. Alaska snow crab, also known as opilio, was selling for $11 a pound, and split red king crab legs for $37.46 a pound.
Another processor was offering 10 pounds of jumbo king crab legs for $349.
At Kodiak, Island Seafoods offered online frozen Bristol Bay red king crab for $28.95 a pound, and Kodiak golden king crab for $24.95 a pound, plus Kodiak Island snow crab for $14.95, and bering sea snow crab for $11.95 a pound, and whole cooked Dungeness crab for $17.95 a pound.
Negotiations with Japanese buyers of red king crab are still weeks away and negotiations for opilio crab traditionally begin in January, but some marketers of Alaska crab are meanwhile engaged in what they describe as " a big row" with Walmart over what they say are indications that Walmart is showing a preference for Russian crab.
"The primary factor has been there have been some treaties signed between Russia, Japan, Korea and China intended to deal with illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing activities," said Jake Jacobsen, executive director for the Inter-cooperation Exchange in Seattle. "Those treaties were signed, but not implemented, so there was a move to get as much landed as they could before the treaties went into effect."
There are large quantities of snow crab and king crab from Russia this year and it is illegal, unregulated and unreported crab," he said.
"Alaska's crab fisheries are some of the best managed in the world," said Tyson Fick, a spokesman for the Alaska seafood Marketing Institute.
"With all of the well-documented troubles the Russian fisheries have had with illegal, unreported, and unregulated crab entering the world market it is surprising that we would have Walmart saying they will purchase crab from that fishery because it is supposedly defined as sustainable because of a fisheries improvement project. We will continue to rely on all that Alaska has to offer, such as the strong reputation we have for fisheries management and the highest quality product," Fick said.
Walmart spokesman Christopher Schraeder denied that there are efforts underway to purchase the Russian over Alaskan crab.
The company "has bought wild Alaska crab in the past and will buy it this year," Schraeder said August 6.
WalMart announced back in February 2006 plans to purchase all of its wild-caught fresh and frozen fish for US markets from the Marine Stewardship council-certified fisheries.
He does, however, point to a company policy requiring that all wild seafood suppliers, be third-party certified as sustainable using Marine Stewardship Council, Best Aquaculture Practices or equivalent standards.
But crab processors doing business in Alaska have chosen to not use the MSC certification program.
Instead the Alaska's bering sea and Aleutian Island blue and red king crab and snow crab fisheries are certified sustainable by the Global Trust program, which is facilitated by the Alaska seafood Marketing Institute. The Global Trust program is modeled on the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization based responsible fisheries management certification, and for Alaska seafood is facilitated by ASMI.
On August 6, ASMI announced that the first annual audit of Alaska bering sea and Aleutian Island blue and red king and snow crab fisheries for responsible fisheries management certification had been completed.
A copy of the lengthy surveillance report undergone by the Alaska crab fisheries is online at http://certification.alaskaseafood.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/FAO-RFM-BSAI-King-Snow-Crab-1st-Surveillance-report_Jul-2013-FINAL.pdf
The objective of the surveillance report is to monitor for any changes or updates after 12 months in the management regime, regulations and their implementation since the previous assessment, and to determine whether these changes, if any, and current practices remain consistent with the overall confidence rating scoring of the fishery allocated during initial certification.
2013-14 Quotas Still Unknown
Last October 15 commercial fishermen heading out to the crab grounds had a quota of 7.85 million pounds of Bristol Bay red king crab, up slightly over the 2011-2012 quota of 7.834 million pounds.
The bering sea snow crab quota, meanwhile, was down from 88,894 million pounds a year earlier to 66.35 million pounds.
The Alaska Department of Fish and Game had allocated 7,067,700 pounds for individual fishing quota and 785,300 pounds for community development quota.
The bering sea snow crab quota called for a total allowable catch of 66,350,000 pounds, including 59,715,000 pounds of individual fishing quota and 6,635,000 pounds of community development quota.
The St. Matthew Island blue king crab fishery quota was 1,630,000 pounds for the 2013-2014 season, including 1,467,000 pounds of individual fishing quota and 163,000 pounds of community development quota.
Survey results will dictate quotas for the upcoming season, and depending on survey information, scientists will also be studying environmental factors and predators that could impact the crab habitat. The crab plan team is scheduled to meet September 17-20 at the Alaska Fisheries Science Center in Seattle to review the stock assessment output and make their recommendations on overfishing limits and acceptable biological catch.
Status determination criteria for crab stocks are calculated annually using a five-tier system that accommodates varying levels of uncertainty of information. The five-tier system incorporates new scientific information and provides a mechanism to continually improve the status determination criteria as new information becomes available. Under this five-tier system, overfishing and overfished criteria and acceptable biological catch levels are formulated annually.
Each crab stock is annually assessed to determine its status and whether overfishing is occurring or the rate or level of fishing mortality for the stock is approaching overfishing. The stock is overfished or the stock is approaching an overfished condition and the catch has exceeded the annual catch limit.
According to Ruth Christiansen, a scientist with the Alaska bering sea Crabbers, the health of crab stocks appears to be about the same as last year. But the biggest predators are themselves and other crab species, said Christiansen. "They do prey on each other," she said, and Pacific cod are predators of young king crab, she added.
Another factor is the temperature of the sea.
Last year was the coldest the water temperature has ever been, according to a scientist with the National Marine Fisheries Service in Anchorage, and this June the bottom temperatures were warmer than they have been since 2007."
Red king crab don't like it when the bottom temperatures get below 2 degrees Celsius. Warmer bottom temperatures also mean that the crab are not being dispersed as much during the mating season, but it unknown what this means for the health of the general population, said the scientist, Bob Foy.
There is also no reason, he said, to believe that ocean debris is affecting the crab.

(CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.)
You can't really put "embrace risk" on your schedule. But come May 7, when Lady Antebellum 's next album comes out, I feel like that's what will be happening. The band's Hillary Scott said that's how they approached Golden. "We embraced risk. When you are pushing yourself to not go back to the same well, you're gonna come up with something different, or you'll find songs that are different," she said in a press release. I'm more of an "if-it-ain't-broke-don't-fix-it" kind of girl, but I think I understand what Scott means about pushing themselves. And Charles Kelley assuaged my fears that the album might be too far out. "Every band I love that's been here for a long time has reinvented itself in some way. There's a balance to it," he said. "I get a little annoyed when people reinvent themselves too much because there's a reason people fell in love with you in the first place, but I think it's important not to regurgitate the same stuff over and over again." So, to recap, the album will be a lot of what we fell in love with but not a regurgitation of the same kinds of songs. Sounds golden to me.

We are in the future! It is time to continue our scintillating look at interfaces, and the bandwidth limitations thereof. This week, we cast our gazes on PCI Express and Thunderbolt. First, PCI Express: what exactly does it mean when you have a PCIe 2.0 x8 connection? And does it make a difference whether your connection is x8 or x16?
PCI Express
PCI Express is a little confusing. A PCIe connection consists of one or more data-transmission lanes, connected serially. Each lane consists of two pairs of wires, one for receiving and one for transmitting. You can have one, four, eight, or sixteen lanes in a single consumer PCIe slot--denoted as x1, x4, x8, or x16. Each lane is an independent connection between the PCI controller and the expansion card, and bandwidth scales linearly, so an eight-lane connection will have twice the bandwidth of a four-lane connection. This helps avoid bottlenecks between, say, the CPU and the graphics card. If you need more bandwidth, just use more lanes.
There are several different physical connections, each of which can function electrically as a slot with a lower number of lanes and can accommodate a physically smaller card as well. A physical PCIe x16 slot can accommodate a x1, x4, x8, or x16 card, and can run a x16 card at x16, x8, x4, or x1. A PCIe x4 slot can accommodate a x1 or x4 card but cannot fit a x16 card. And finally, there are several different versions of the PCIe interface, each with different bandwidth limitations, and many modern motherboards have PCIe slots of different physical sizes and also different PCIe generations. Confused yet?
Let's start with maximum theoretical bandwidth. A single PCIe 1.0 (or 1.1) lane can carry up to 2.5 Gigatransfers per second (GT/s) in each direction simultaneously. For PCIe 2.0, that increases to 5GT/s, and a single PCIe 3.0 lane can carry 8GT/s.
What's with this gigatransfers nonsense? Gigatransfers per second are the same thing (in this case) as gigabits per second, but they include the bits that are lost as a result of interface overhead. All PCI Express versions lose some of their theoretical maximum throughput to the physical overhead associated with electronic transmissions. PCIe 1.* and 2.0 use 8b/10b encoding (like SATA does), the upshot of which is that each 8 bits of data cost 10 bits to transmit, so they lose 20 percent of their theoretical bandwidth to overhead. It's just the cost of doing business.
After overhead, the maximum per-lane data rate of PCIe 1.0 is eighty percent of 2.5GT/s. That gives us two gigabits per second, or 250MB/s (remember, eight bits to a byte). The PCIe interface is bidirectional, so that's 250MB/s in each direction, per lane. PCIe 2.0 doubles the per-lane throughput to 5GT/s, which gives us 500MB/s of actual data transfer per lane.
PCIe 3.0 achieves twice the speed of PCI 2.0, despite having a per-lane throughput that's only 60 percent more than a PCIe connection.
You've probably heard that PCIe 3.0 is twice the speed of PCI 2.0, but as we've seen above, its per-lane theoretical throughput is 8GT/s, which is only 60 percent more than PCIe 2.0's 5GT/s. That's because PCIe 3.0 and above use a more efficient encoding scheme called 128b/130b (PDF link), so the overhead is much less--only 1.54 percent. That means that a single PCIe 3.0 lane, at 8GT/s, can send 985MB/s. That's not quite twice 500MB/s, but it's close enough for marketing purposes.
What that means is that a PCIe 3.0 x4 connection (3.94GB/s) should have nearly the same bandwidth as PCIe 1.1 x16, or PCIe 2.0 x8 (both 4GB/s).
Modern GPUs use a x16 PCIe 2.0 or 3.0 interface. That doesn't mean they always run at x16 speed, though. Many motherboards have multiple physical x16 slots, but a smaller number of actual of PCIe lanes available. On a Z87 (Haswell) or Z77 (Ivy Bridge) desktop, the CPU has 16 PCIe 3.0 lanes. Intel chipsets have an additional eight PCIe 2.0 lanes, but those are typically used for sound cards, RAID cards, and so forth. (AMD's 990FX chipset includes 32 PCIe 2.0 lanes, plus four on the northbridge.) In the Asus board shown above, for example, the PCIe 3.0 slots are CPU lanes, while all the rest have to share the eight chipset PCIe 2.0 lanes. Using the PCIe 2.0 x16 slot in x4 mode disables three of the PCIe 2.0 x1 slots.
So a single x16 graphics card will use all 16 CPU PCIe lanes, but adding a GPU to the second x16 lane will drop both graphics cards' connections down to eight lanes each. Adding a third GPU will drop the first card's connection to x8, and the second and third cards' connections down to x4 each. This is why many people who run multi-GPU setups prefer Intel's enthusiast architectures, like Sandy Bridge-E and the upcoming Ivy Bridge-E. Ivy Bridge-E CPUs will have forty PCIe 3.0 lanes. That's enough to run two cards at x16 and one at x8, one card at x16 and three cards at x8, or one at x16, two at x8, and two more at x4. That's just ridiculous.
Does it matter for performance?
Two PCIe 3.0 GPUs running at x8 each on a PCIe 3.0 motherboard should have nearly the same bandwidth as two PCIe 2.0 GPUs running at x16--the first set runs at 7.88GB/s each, while the second two run at 8GB/s. If either your motherboard or graphics card is limited to a PCIe 2.0 connection, you'll be stuck using the slower interface.
TechPowerUp did an enormous roundup of PCIe performance last May. They tested the two most powerful single-GPU cards at the time--AMD's Radeon HD 7970 and Nvidia's GeForce GTX 680--at x4, x8, and x16 using PCIe 1.1, 2.0, and 3.0, all on the same motherboard. This is by far the best apples-to-apples test I've ever seen on PCIe bandwidth scaling. The entire article is worth a read, but the performance summary page collects the relative results at a glance.
Last year's most powerful graphics cards perform just fine at PCIe 2.0 x8 or even PCIe 3.0 x4.
As you'd expect, equivalent bandwidth configurations perform around the same. Most importantly, to quote the TechPowerUp authors, "Our testing confirms that modern graphics cards work just fine at slower bus speed, yet performance degrades the slower the bus speed is. Everything down to x16 1.1 and its equivalents (x8 2.0, x4 3.0) provides sufficient gaming performance even with the latest graphics hardware, losing only 5% average in worst-case. [emphasis added] Only at even lower speeds we see drastic framerate losses, which would warrant action."
The most interesting part in these results is the finding that last year's most powerful graphics cards perform just fine at PCIe 2.0 x8 or even PCIe 3.0 x4. That means that three-way SLI or CrossFireX should be viable, even in x8/x4/x4, on Ivy Bridge or Haswell desktops. But even if you don't have PCIe 3.0, you're not missing out on much performance running at x8 on a PCIe 2.0 connection.
The doubled bandwidth of PCIe 3.0 x16, compared to PCIe 2.0, doesn't seem to make much of a difference yet. AnandTech's Ryan Smith tested two Nvidia GeForce GTX Titans, the current fastest single-GPU cards, in SLI on both PCIe 3.0 and 2.0, and found, at best, a seven percent performance improvement at 5760 x 1200.
So that's good news for people with older motherboards or graphics cards. Provided you have at least PCI Express 2.0 x8, you're hardly leaving any performance on the table, even on the fastest cards.
Thunderbolt is a data transfer interface that can pass through both PCI Express and DisplayPort signals, depending on what it is plugged into. A Thunderbolt controller consists of two bidirectional data channels, with each channel containing an input and an output lane. The Thunderbolt chips on each end of the cable take in both DisplayPort 1.1a and a four-lane PCIe 2.0 bus. Each channel is independent, and can either carry DisplayPort or PCIe, but not both. Each direction in each channel has a theoretical maximum throughput of 10Gbps--the same as two PCIe 2.0 lanes. As discussed above, due to 8b/10b encoding, 20 percent of the theoretical limit of PCI Express 2.0 is devoted to signal overhead, so the maximum theoretical throughput of a single Thunderbolt channel is 1GB/s in each direction. In first-gen Thunderbolt, that's as fast as you're going to get, since each device can only access one of the two channels, and you can't combine them. It's still pretty damn fast, since you can send high-def video to a DisplayPort monitor at 10Gbps down one channel while reading 1GB/s from an SSD RAID with the other, at the same time.
So how much performance can you actually wring out of a Thunderbolt connection?
Gordon Ung at Maximum PC saw peak read transfer speeds of 931MB/s when reading from a RAID 0 of four 240GB SandForce SF-2281 SSDs in a Pegasus R4 chassis.
AnandTech actually got an SSD RAID in a Pegasus chassis right up to 1002MB/s at its very peak, which seems to be right up at the practical limit of a single Thunderbolt channel, but that was using a RAID 0 of four 128GB 6Gbps SATA SSDs, running sustained 2MB reads at a queue depth of 10.
A four-way RAID 0 of SSDs is going to be too fast for a first-gen Thunderbolt connection. A two-drive RAID 0 can approach twice the speed of its individual drives. As we discussed in Part One, a good 6Gbps SATA SSD can hit 515MB/s. A RAID 0 of two 6Gbps SSDs can easily saturate the 10Gbps connection available in first-gen Thunderbolt. A four-way RAID 0 can go far faster, but not while attached via Thunderbolt.
A very brief note on PCIe SSD performance (compared to Thunderbolt)
Despite the limitations of first-gen Thunderbolt, it's still a far better external storage interface than USB 3.0.
The OCZ RevoDrive 3 x2, a PCIe-attached SSD, can hit 1.5GB/s peak in some sequential read tests on a PCIe 2.0 x4 connection. That drive uses a SAS-to-PCIe controller, rather than a SATA controller to a RAID card to a PCIe connection, but surely that can't explain the entire speed difference. After all, Thunderbolt is a PCIe 2.0 x4 connection too, right? Sort of. Each Thunderbolt storage drive is limited to one channel with a maximum bandwidth of 1GB/s. The RevoDrive 3 x2 can use the entire PCIe x4 connection, with its peak (post-overhead) bandwidth of nearly 2GB/s.
The Next Thunderbolt
The next version of Thunderbolt, cleverly named Thunderbolt 2, will let you combine both channels into one, with a theoretical maximum of 20Gbps (2GB/s, post-encoding), allowing devices to take advantage all four PCIe 2.0 lanes in the Thunderbolt connection. It also brings increased bandwidth to the display side of things; you'll be able to stream 4K video to that fancy 4K monitor you've got lying around. So far Thunderbolt 2 is only available on a couple of motherboards from Asus but it'll ship on the new Mac Pro as well, if and when that beautiful, weird-ass cylinder ever emerges from One Infinite Loop.
Despite the limitations of first-gen Thunderbolt, it's still a far better external storage interface than USB 3.0, which at best is only half the speed of a first-gen Thunderbolt connection (5Gbps maximum) and in real life, as we saw last time, doesn't hit anywhere close to its maximum theoretical throughput.

Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge to stealth onto the 360 & PS3 this April
Tecmo Koei has announced that they are porting Ninja Gaiden 3: Razors Edge from the Wii U and bringing the experience back to the Xbox 360 and PS3 on April 2nd for North America and April 5th for Europe. This new port will add even more content, such as costumes for those that enjoy customisation options as well 25 extra challenge missions. Considering that the Wii U version already added a whole host of new content as well as drastically changing the game in various ways for the better, Razors Edge for the Xbox 360 and PS3 is looking like a very worthwhile purchase – especially for those that skipped the original Ninja Gaiden 3 release.
Here is a trailer for the original Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge for Wii U:
As one of the many people that avoided the original Ninja Gaiden 3 release back in March of 2012 (due to poor reviews and not enjoying the demo), I am hopeful that this update will transform the game into what I was expecting it to be the first time around.

The Iranian people elected a moderate president today, one who promises to cooperate with the West to get sanctions removed. Iran just got a lot less dangerous, and on its own. What a disaster it would have been Dick Cheney and the neoconservatives had gotten their wish for a war with Iran. Such a war would have strengthened radical elements. We would likely still be there. And it wouldn't be pretty.
President Obama's decision to arm Syrian rebels isn't pleasing anybody. I am ambivalent. Now that we are becoming more energy self-sufficient, can't we back away from our excessive involvement in the Mideast?

It was made for my niece Gracie, on a little $20 machine that my mom had got me from Canadian Tire, I think that it was called the DressMaker2 or something like that. I had little idea what I was doing and I followed a pattern that had to be thrown out part way through because I didn't cut anything the right way. Gracie doesn't look like she minds!
This is my latest quilt.
This one was a gift for a bridal shower, and I really can say that it might be my favourite so far. I had just discovered the world of moda basic jelly rolls! Who knew I didn't have to cut white sashing anymore, anything that makes my life easier is a bonus for me.
I've leaned a lot, but I had yet to learn how to stipple, and I'm waiting for that still. I've learned to better judge the colours and patterns that I want to use together and what that will look like when it's finished. I've also learned that there is an amazing community out there of hip young moms like myself who are taking back this tradition that likely our grandmothers did and our mothers passed by on their way to other things. Thanks for the chance to show these off, I can't wait to see what everyone has created.
I've got two more quilts almost ready to quilt, one is a BotCamp one that might end up for William and the other is an Amy Butler dot lap quilt that I plan on actually keeping for myself, imagine that! Pictures to come soon!

It's the final working week of 2012 for a lot of people, so it's a great time to round up the biggest trends from the past 12 months.
We've already rounded up the top mobile trends from 2012, as well as asking people to name their favourite mobile innovations.
And here we ask four SEO experts to look back at the most important search trends from this year, as well as doing a bit of future gazing to 2013…
1) What were the most significant trends in search this year?
Kelvin Newman, strategy director at SiteVisibility
One thing that really pleased me this year was the SEO industry's growing confidence that content is the solution to SEO problems not data entry, link building or creating some bafflingly complicated blog network.
These never worked that well in the first place, but the creative search marketers have really put their foot down this year and pushed to produce work they can really be proud of.
Some of the content coming out of in-house search teams and external agencies over the last 12 months has been outstanding; showing the invention and imagination that would make other more traditionally 'creative' agencies envious.
Will Critchlow, founder of Distilled
The most significant event has to be the Penguin update in which Google finally started acting in line with the rhetoric we have been seeing for years.
For trend though, I'm going to go with the increasing integration of G+ into everything.
I think this is significant for two reasons. Firstly, as an early adopter and heavy user for internal comms at Distilled, I am actually bullish on it as a social network. I prefer it to any other right now.
And the second reason is that it has apparently changed the internal culture at Google more significantly than anything else since the very early days.
Dave Coplin, chief envisioning officer at Microsoft
2012 finally saw the arrival of the mobile device as a platform for advertisers, meaning that brands had to revaluate their marketing spend and make some important decisions about their focus for the forthcoming year.
Top of the list was SEO for mobile and understanding how it differs from traditional search. People use search differently on a mobile device, entering far less into the query box.
For example, instead of asking for the 'best curry in Birmingham' they generally just write 'curry'. This means that brands really need to be on top of their online presence.
Search has also become less about providing answers and more about providing services; for example helping consumers find the next train, the best job, which restaurant to eat at or when to see the movie.
Increasingly, search is merely acting like the middle man that brings the most relevant information to the consumer in the context of what they are doing. The Bing apps on Windows 8, for example, bring news, weather, travel and finance information right to your fingertips – you don't feel like you're searching any more, you're just consuming.
Edward Cowell, SEO director at Netbooster
2012 has been a massive year in terms of changes, and with many of these continuing into 2013 I thought I'd focus on some big overriding trends from 2012 and ones that I expect to shake up the landscape in 2013.
Firstly there's been a distinct change in rhetoric from Google in its willingness to engage with webmasters and particularly the SEO community.
As I said last year, anyone not taking advantage of Google's openness via its Google+ hangouts is really missing a trick.
Secondly, Google is making an unabated move towards a better semantic understanding of information published on the web.
In 2012 there has been an increasing importance on structured data (Schema.org markup). It still surprises me how few websites are applying these standards even though they have been available for ages, which in a way was most recently emphasised by the addition of the Google Webmaster Tools 'Data Highlighter' feature.
This helps Google identify structured data in a website without having to make technical changes to the website itself.
2) What will the key trends be in 2013?
Kelvin Newman
The recent announcement that Google have made about trying to make structured data more accessible to the 'lay webmaster' I think is a really strong statement of intent for the coming year.
This plus the increasing use of rich snippets and the knowledge graph really gives us a clear message of where our friends and Mountain View are headed.
This might be bad news if it means searchers can get what they want from your site without even visiting, but as there's going to be a delay in this approach being rolled out to websites there's a huge opportunity for the rest of us in the mean time.
Will Critchlow
The safe bet in these kinds of thing is always to go with more of the same – just like weather forecasting:
- A increasing crack down on low quality and spammy activities – especially in non-English languages and markets outside the US.
- Less and less data available (e.g. 'not provided' and recent shots against search marketing toolsets using scraped data).
- Increasing integration of G+ into search and everything else – I'm waiting for a +1 button in email).
The only real new trend I'm expecting to see is a real effort expended on gaming social signals. What I've seen to date has mainly looked like amateur-hour.
As social gains momentum as a ranking signal (even if only for filter bubbles) I fully anticipate the real blackhats showing up.
Dave Coplin
In 2013 we will start to see more non-text-based searching, using a mobile device's camera or microphone to enter a query.
This will be done either through object recognition, including QR codes, or audio recognition using apps like Shazam and simple voice recognition software.
Where the phrase 'mobile' grouped both phones and tablets together in 2012, in 2013 they will become different things, each uniquely valuable in their offering. Mobile means exactly that: stripped down, concise – tell me and tell me now.
Tablet on the other hand is a more casual experience. In terms of search on tablets, this will become something people do to drift around their interests rather than looking for something in particular.
The rich browser experience begs users to grab a coffee, sit back and just browse the search stream.
Trust will also become much more important in search in 2013. People are now looking to find the signal within the noise of search results – where 2012 was about reviewing everything you consumed, 2013 will be about figuring out whose recommendations you can trust or value more.
The concept of reputation and trust will become crucial to brands' online services and results. Social platforms are a great example of this: you trust people you know more than strangers, but trust the consensus of strangers more than the words of a brand.
Another thing I'm excited to see is the evolution of apps. At the moment, apps are great if they're done well, as they provide context to the user and ensure they stay focused on the outcome they have in mind.
However we rarely have such blinkered intent – we have travel apps, restaurant recommendation apps and movie apps, but what we're really looking for is a great night out.
In 2013 we will start to see a new generation of 'super' apps that combine individual services to provide joined-up, outcome-focused experiences that match our expectations. Search is likely to be what stitches those services together.
Edward Cowell
2013 will see a continuation of Google's move towards understanding information (facts provided or learned about something or someone: attributes about entities).
Businesses, brands, websites and people are entities and Google is getting much better at recognising them, and what is being said about them. Amit Singhal talked openly about it earlier this year, saying:
[Google is] building a huge, in-house understanding of what an entity is and a repository of what entities are in the world and what you should know about those entities.
I don't think this statement got the recognition it deserved.
The other month, Rand Fishkin wrote a good article about a topic that interested him – co-citation – whereby websites were ranking highly for keyphrases that weren't linking to them, but were used in discussions about them.
This was a good observation, but he didn't make the connection that when talking about co-citation, he was actually talking about attributes and entities.
In 2013, measuring attributes and entities will become increasingly important for Google so that they can validate relevancy from an understanding of what is actually being said online and by whom, over and above standard metrics such as link data.
Another key trend will be the synergy between local and mobile.
The rapid growth in mobile traffic (globally), coincidentally puts a far greater emphasis on the importance of localised search results. Therefore local level optimisation and access to granular local data will become far more important.
Google Places has historically been one of Google's most buggy products, and even though it got migrated over the Google+ Local Pages the task feels incomplete. I expect Google to make much more of an effort to get that system working well and efficiently.
Resurgence of the high street? A little bit. In 2013, multichannel retailers with large store networks will be in a much stronger position than previous years, as they are able to start taking advantage of opportunities from mobile, locally and in present time.
I expect some interesting moves from large pure play dotcoms such as Amazon, as they start to understand the marketplace is potentially shifting back offline and how they can compete within the multichannel arena.

Fijian Rugby
Fiji name much-changed squad for tour
ESPN Staff
October 25, 2012
Vereniki Goneva has been called up by Fiji © PA Photos
Fiji have named 16 uncapped players in their squad ahead of the autumn internationals.
The 30-man squad will open their campaign against England on November 10 before then facing Gloucester at Kingsholm. They will then play Ireland in a non-capped international at Thomond Park and then finish off their four-match tour with a match against Georgia.
The Aviva Premiership has three representatives in the party with Josh Matavesi (Worcester Warriors), Vereniki Goneva (Leicester Tigers) and Ravai Fatiaki (Worcester Warriors) all getting the nod. And Scarlets prop Deacon Manu is also included.
But there is no place in the squad for the man who skippered the team during the Pacific Nations Cup - Netani Talei. Talei is out with a knee injury and head coach Inoke Male will consult his backroom staff before naming a new captain.
"Netani was earmarked to captain the side on the Europe tour, but now that he is injured I have to discuss with the management team who the best candidate is for captain," Male said. "We have a few players in mind and they are Leone Nakarawa, Setefano Somoca and Deacon Manu that have shown good leadership skills in the past."
Fiji squad:
Setefano Somoca, Deacon Manu, Ratu Penijamini Makutu, Manasa Saulo, Seremaia Naureure, Viliame Veikoso, Tuapati Talemaitoga, Leone Nakarawa, Apisai Naikatini, Sokonaia Kalou, Apisalome Ratuniyarawa, Iliesa Ratuva, Malakai Volau, Malakai Ravulo, Jone Qovu, Jovili Domolailai, Nemani Nagusa, Nikola Matawalu, Nemia Kenatale, Metuisela Talebula, Jonetani Ralulu, Josh Matavesi, Kelemedi Bola, Vereniki Goneva, Josaia Lotawa, Ravai Fatiaki, Samu Wara, Watisoni Votu, Waisea Nayacalevu, Simeli Koniferedi.
Non-travelling reserves: Vesi Rarawa, Campese Ma'afu, Waqabaca Kotobalavu, Sireli Naqelevuki, Aisea Natoga.

That is pretty much the conservative playbook. Let people die because of undetected and preventable illnesses, and claim the free market is working.
Yes, because this scenario is the conservative playbook.
The free market does not let people die because of undetected and preventable illnesses. You guys are fucking idiots. Seriously. How someone can be so smart and so fucking stupid at the same time is beyond me.
Your ad hominem arguments, while appropriate given the name of the forum, do nothing to advance the discussion.
It is certainly the case that many people die every year from illnesses that could have been prevented or treated, but were turned away because of insurance company polices precluding things like granting policies to those with pre-existing conditions. That is what happens when there is no government oversight on who can be insured. This is not an opinion. It is a fact, and has been well documented.

By Florida A&M Athletics
ORMOND BEACH, FL (May 12) – Bethune-Cookman scored two runs in the bottom of the second inning to hold on for a 2-1 win over the Florida A&M Softball Team to win the 2012 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Softball Championship, here Saturday afternoon at the Ormond Beach Softball Complex.
Both teams finished with five hits each in a pitcher's duel.
FAMU (28-29) was led by Tenisha Dixon as she tallied two hits to lead the Lady Rattlers, while Sabrina Ferguson finished with two hits to lead the Wildcats.
Shanel Tolbert(30-24) pitched her fourth consecutive complete game in the tournament and her 36th overall on the year as she picked up the win, giving up five hits, one earned run and struck out five in seven complete innings of work.
Jennifer Lindsey (16-9) received the loss for the Lady Rattlers as she made her fifth straight appearance on the mound for FAMU as she tallied 34 innings pitched in the 2012 MEAC Tourney including a pair of extra innings games against Coppin State (11 Innings pitched) and Norfolk State(10 innings pitched). Lindsey pitched five innings, allowing five hits, two earned runs and struck out two in the 24 batters she faced.
FAMU grabbed the early lead as Tera Gainer singled to left side scoring Jasmin Donaldson, giving the Lady Rattlers a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning.
B-CU (30-29) would score two runs in the bottom of the second inning as Cesley Tafoya singled down the leftfield line scoring both Sabrina Ferguson and Shamyra Engram for the 2-1 win.
B-CU wins their third consecutive MEAC Championship and their eighth overall. FAMU holds the record for the most MEAC Titles with nine. The Wildcats are the second team in conference history to win consecutive championships as they won five straight from 2000 to 2004 and again from 2010 to 2012.
FAMU is the only other team in conference history that has won consecutive MEAC Championships as the Lady Rattlers three-peated twice in the 1990's, winning the conference tournament from 1993 to 1995 and again from 1997 to 1999.
There have only been three other MEAC schools to win the MEAC Softball Championship: Hampton (1996), Howard (2007) and Delaware State (2008).

It's always nice to start off the new fiscal year with some good news and this year it comes at the hands of Francisco Munoz Alvarez, a seasoned expert, and Oracle ACE Director, in the Oracle community. With the help from his employer Revera Limited, a provider of utility computing infrastructure and enterprise data management solutions, Francisco recently compared the performance of Oracle Database workloads running in a bare metal environment versus a virtualized environment (Oracle VM and others). The results were quite telling!
Here's what they found:
• Oracle VM is the better virtualization technology to run Oracle Databases
• Oracle VM makes a better use of all available resources
• Oracle VM is more scalable and stable for Oracle Databases
• Oracle VM allows better consolidation of loads in a virtual environment
• Oracle VM uses less CPU than non-Oracle virtualization technologies
Francisco and his team also found that without Oracle VM, organizations can have a full physical server (bare metal) with underutilized resources. However, by using Oracle VM organizations will be able to virtualize it to host many Oracle Databases, without sacrificing performance and can make better use of all available database licenses. They also noted a few bonus results including the fact that Oracle VM allows extra high availability and is fully certified and supported by Oracle.
I think Francisco touched on something very important in his report when he concluded by saying, "Many companies around the world are afraid to use virtualization for production databases, as per our experience we can say that it is only a myth. Revera have many production databases running on Oracle VM without any unsatisfied client."
It's time to overcome the fear. As Francisco's results show, Oracle VM delivers a great solution for enterprise environments!
See what Oracle VM has done for customers of all sizes across a variety of industries worldwide.
