The present application is related to U.S. application Ser. No. 11/334,306, "Systems and Methods for Neutralizing Unauthorized Attempts to Monitor User Activity," now abandoned, which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.
The present invention relates generally to the detection of pestware or malware on computers. In particular, but without limitation, the present invention relates to methods and systems for detecting keyloggers.
Protecting personal computers from a never-ending onslaught of pestware or malware has become increasingly important and challenging. Some types of pestware or malware can compromise a user's privacy by sending sensitive information about the user or the user's computer to a remote destination without the user's knowledge or permission. Such malware is commonly referred to as "spyware." One particular type of spyware, a "keylogger," secretly records a user's keystrokes as the user types on a keyboard and captures the resulting text in a data file, which is often encrypted. The keylogger may also secretly send the captured data file to a remote destination by e-mail or some other communication protocol. Such a keylogger can be used by a remote party to acquire information such as credit card numbers, social security numbers, and other sensitive information.
Clearly, computer users have a strong motivation to detect and remove unwanted keyloggers from their systems. Many computer users rely on anti-spyware programs to detect and remove such threats. Since keyloggers are usually designed to be difficult to detect, however, conventional anti-spyware programs may fail to detect them quickly and effectively. It is thus apparent that there is a need in the art for an improved method and system for detecting a keylogger on a computer.
Illustrative embodiments of the present invention that are shown in the drawings are summarized below. These and other embodiments are more fully described in the Detailed Description section. It is to be understood, however, that there is no intention to limit the invention to the forms described in this Summary of the Invention or in the Detailed Description. One skilled in the art can recognize that there are numerous modifications, equivalents and alternative constructions that fall within the spirit and scope of the invention as expressed in the claims.
Embodiments of the invention include methods and systems for detecting a keylogger on a computer. One illustrative embodiment is a method comprising creating, in a memory of the computer, a hidden window; generating a unique, unpredictable data pattern; inputting, to the hidden window, the unique, unpredictable data pattern in a manner that mimics keyboard input from a user; scanning running processes in the memory other than a keylogger detection process for the unique, unpredictable data pattern; and performing a secondary scan of a suspect process, the suspect process having an associated buffer that contains the unique, unpredictable data pattern. Another illustrative embodiment is a system to detect a keylogger on a computer. A detection module of the system may be configured to create, in a memory of the computer, a hidden window; generate a unique, unpredictable data pattern; input, to the hidden window, the unique, unpredictable data pattern in a manner that mimics keyboard input from a user; scan running processes in the memory other than a keylogger detection process for the unique, unpredictable data pattern; and perform a secondary scan of a suspect process, the suspect process having an associated buffer that contains the unique, unpredictable data pattern. These and other embodiments are described in more detail herein.
Various objects and advantages and a more complete understanding of the present invention are apparent and more readily appreciated by reference to the following Detailed Description and to the appended claims, when taken in conjunction with the accompanying Drawings, wherein:
A keylogger may be detected quickly and effectively by generating a unique, unpredictable data pattern; inputting the unique, unpredictable data pattern to a hidden window in memory in a manner that mimics keyboard input from a user; scanning data buffers associated with running processes to determine whether any running processes (other than a keylogger detection process) have intercepted the unique, unpredictable data pattern; and performing a secondary scan of any such suspect processes. During the secondary scan of a suspect process, heuristic techniques may be employed to confirm that the suspect process is likely to be a keylogger. For example, it may be determined that the suspect process uses particular application program interfaces (APIs) in a manner that is characteristic of a keylogger.
Referring now to the drawings, where like or similar elements are designated with identical reference numerals throughout the several views,
Among the running processes in RAM 125 is keylogger detection process 130. Keylogger detection process 130 comprises a system for detecting a keylogger on computer 100. In some embodiments, keylogger detection process 130 may be part of a more general anti-spyware detection and removal system. Detection module 135 is an aspect of keylogger detection process 130 that focuses on detecting keyloggers on computer 100 and, optionally, notifying a user that a suspected keylogger has been found. Though shown as a process running on computer 100 in RAM 125 in
Detection module 135 may be configured to generate a unique, unpredictable data pattern ("data pattern") 140 and to input data pattern 140 to hidden window 142. In
In one illustrative embodiment, hidden window 142 may be a single-pixel window on display 120 so as not to be noticeable to a user. In that case, hidden window 142 lies within display buffer (video RAM) 145. Despite its tiny size, those skilled in the art will recognize that data pattern 140 may be input to such a single-pixel window in RAM 125. In a different embodiment, detection module 135 may create hidden window 142 entirely outside of display buffer 145 in RAM 120. Regardless of how hidden window 142 is created, detection module 135 may input data pattern 140 to hidden window 142 in a manner that mimics keyboard input from a user. That is, data pattern 140 is input to hidden window 142 in a manner that appears to keylogger 150 to be keyboard input, thereby inducing keylogger 150 to capture it. Those skilled in the art will recognize that there are a variety of ways in which keyboard input may be mimicked. In one illustrative embodiment, detection module 135 may use built-in keyboard extension libraries (APIs) resident in an operating system of computer 100. In another illustrative embodiment, keylogger detection process 130 may include its own integrated keyboard driver for mimicking keyboard input.
Though not shown in
Keylogger 150 includes program code 155 and buffer 160. As keylogger 150 intercepts user keystrokes, it records them to buffer 160. Keylogger 150 typically writes the contents of buffer 160 to a data file that resides on data storage system 115. This data file is usually encrypted and, thus, difficult to detect with conventional anti-spyware scanning techniques. When detection module 135 scans buffers associated with running processes such as buffer 160, it detects data pattern 140 in buffer 160 and flags keylogger 150 as a "suspect process" (i.e., one that might be a keylogger). Detection module 135 may then perform a secondary scan to confirm that the suspect process is likely to be a keylogger. At that point, the user may be given the option to remove keylogger 150 from computer 100.
In conclusion, the present invention provides, among other things, a method and system for detecting a keylogger on a computer. Those skilled in the art can readily recognize that numerous variations and substitutions may be made in the invention, its use and its configuration to achieve substantially the same results as achieved by the embodiments described herein. Accordingly, there is no intention to limit the invention to the disclosed exemplary forms. Many variations, modifications and alternative constructions fall within the scope and spirit of the disclosed invention as expressed in the claims.

Buy a GH1? Need help.
Mar 20, 2010
Hi, all.
I'm looking into the Lumix GH1, but have a couple issues that I'm trying to find a way around. (and I have less and less time to research them)
1 - What's the best you can do to get wireless external flashes hooked up to the GH1? (preferably with some kind of automatic flash exposure (like Nikon's iTTL flashes), though not 100% necessary) Does the GH1 have any kind of "commander mode" built in, for controlling off-camera flashes?
2 - Do MFT (micro four-thirds) lenses typically have strong bokeh? I know they're smaller than other SLR lenses, but I don't know how MUCH smaller... (I'm currently shooting with the Nikon D80, using the 18-200 VR lens)

Architecture is a doing word. You can learn a great deal about the workings of architecture through analysing examples but a fuller understanding of its powers and potential comes through practice, by trying to do it...
This book offers student architects a series of exercises that will develop their capacity for doing architecture. Exercises in Architecture builds on and supplements the methodology for architectural analysis presented in the author's previous book Analysing Architecture (third edition, Routledge, 2009) and demonstrated in his Twenty Buildings Every Architect Should Understand (Routledge, 2010). The three books taken together deal with the three aspects of learning: description, analysis of examples, and practice.The book offers twelve exercises, each divided into a short series of tasks aimed at developing a particular theme or area of architectural capacity. The exercises deal with themes such as place-making, learning through drawing, framing, light, , uses of geometry, stage setting, eliciting emotional responses, the genetics of detail and so forth. less

Really? Do you have some research to back that up, or is that only anecdotal evidence? Don't get me wrong. I'm studying to be a pharmacist, but I'm a proponent of any food-based method of fixing the root problem, as drugs ALWAYS have side effects. Nevertheless, if you cannot provide hard scientific proof, it's only hearsay.
I'm so confused about this comic and the "Alternative" comment that is always left underneath.
@bendersastre -What? Asking a collectivist for scientific evidence? Exercise in futility. They just know what's true, science be damned.
Ignoring Steffi's fruit of the day, Mr. BJ is presenting a statement which supports his position, but has little truth to it. In developed countries, reforestation offsets harvested trees. Slash and burn, overharvesting and wood as fuel in third world countries are causing net loss of trees each year.
Third worlders are the problem, as they will continue to add population and destroy resources. The earth has a finite capacity for supporting humans, and we are burning the candle at both ends: adding population and destroying resources. We'll all meet in the middle.
Well and truly said Mr. Scott. Hot air rarely ssubstitutes for proven facts but is often taken for same. I wouldn't worry much about this fruit and big pharm, and I am afraid that BenderSastre will wait long for his answer. The truth is that to bring a product to market a pharmaceutical company has to do many studies and clinical trials that, as a result, costs them millions of dollars to place a product on the shelves of pharmacies. That is why many of the "natural products" haven't been tested and so, within limits, you can make whatever claims you want about them and, since the research hasn't been done, no one can definitively refute these claims. So if you see a statement like, "studies by Duke show that xxxxx product makes you stronger than Hercules." It is easy to assume that this refers to a study by Duke University. Instead it could be random thoughts while shaving by a guy named Joe Duke. Caveat Emptor.
You must understand that 90% or our natural forests are gone. Replaced by trees planted to harvest specifically, tree farms. And they don't want them to become natural forests either. Some of the trees they plant aren't native but are good at short turn around yeilds. Why else are forest animals moving into suburbs?
That is only in the USA. In other places sugar cane and palm trees replace the natural forests in Africa and South America.
Ah Banj, my apologies I should have looked up the properties of S. purpurea before holding forth. Truth be told I have never heard of the damn thing. Since it is purple it might be good in a food fight.
Fructose is found in fruits but it is okay because you eat fiber with it. High fructose corn syrup doesn't. And it is a concentrate so it is abnormal for us to consume it.
Sugar and molasses are also "concentrated". I prefer my molasses further processed- into rum. For those of us living north of Florida, Steffi's plants have little value. She should bring back the socialista strips. Wityh bikini clad, angry, nubile wimmins.
does this comic have a point or is it just educational?
Hey Stephanie, are you writing a term paper, your anti-capitalism book, your graduate school thesis, have you been arrested, or are you hospitalized with some tread disease? Please let us know so we can send either flowers or a cake with a file in it.

By Amena Bakr
DUBAI (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia began supplying anti-aircraft missiles to the Syrian opposition "on a small scale" about two months ago, a Gulf source familiar with the matter said on Monday.
The shoulder-fired weapons were obtained mostly from suppliers in France and Belgium, the source told Reuters. France had paid for the transport of the weapons to the region.
The supplies were going to General Salim Idriss, leader of the Supreme Military Council of the Free Syrian Army (FSA), who was still the kingdom's main "point man" in the opposition, the source said.
The Gulf source said without elaborating that Saudi Arabia had begun taking a more active role in the Syrian conflict in recent weeks due to the intensification of the conflict.
A foreign ministry spokesman was not immediately available for comment.
King Abdullah returned to Saudi Arabia on Friday after cutting short a holiday in Morocco to deal with what state media described as "repercussions of the events that the region is currently witnessing".
Diplomatic sources in the kingdom say Riyadh has grown increasingly concerned after the entry of Lebanese Shi'ite militia Hezbollah into the conflict and the subsequent rebel defeat in Qusair.

Campus Housing:
It isn't that bad to live on campus if you manage to get into one of the main dorms, but if you end up in one of the others its like being in a closet with a roommate...
If it snows even a little school gets canceled and the tornado season is horrible about storms.
It's a rather diverse school with many races and people attending throughout the year.
It is a major that is very heavy on Mathematics and therefore it is very stressful. There are plenty of opportunities for internships and jobs though.
When one lab is not available, there is a guarantee computer at a different building. The need for a personal computer is extremely important. During finals, most printers are already shut down but that is when the most extra credit is offered.
Campus Food:
The hours available are horrible. There is this crazy rule that if you eat after a certain time then you are not allowed to eat the next meal. The food is very repetitive. You are most likely to eat chicken four days out the week. There is no other use for the meal plan.
Off-Campus Dining:
It is mainly just chicken and pizza as an option. Cost is average for students with monthly income
The school is pretty much in the center of everything. This makes it easy on cost for people without cars who need food delivered or to catch a cab. Two bus stations are available to the campus which is very beneficial for students low on cash.
Greek Life:
I enjoy attending the events. The Greeks students are awesome. They make it seem fun and I have become very interested in joining.
It is very diverse. I see many people from all over the place. Though people come from different places and have different beliefs, they all get along in the facilities.
Many students do not attend some sport events because of the low winning status of the sport. The more the sport lose the less people attend the event.
Drug Safety:
I believe that the staff know that they cannot stop students from doing these things but they do stop the publicity of it. Students are fined at the sight of the use of alcohol or drugs.
The classes are challenging but there is always someone reaching out to help or tutor. The CEPTS majors have meetings and professional days which unites us and gives us a chance to represent the school. I love how everyone in the department is friendly and it is really hard not to know anyone in your classes.
I would do it all over again. I am not concerned about finding a job. Huntsville has a vast variety of mechanical engineering based jobs.
Overall Experience:
Good so far .difficult to get some instructors (foreign) to break down work so that students can get better understanding or get help when they don't understand. Also difficult to get makeup exam when student is sick.
Greek Life:
Good selection of Greek life to choose from.
The students involvement in athletics is pretty high especially in football and basketball.
AAMU campus is somewhat diverse.
Campus Quality:
The campus life at school is pretty nice. There will sometimes be Greek shows , athletic events, and even parades.
Campus Quality:
Alabama A&M University is a prestigious school. There are buildings that are still standing since the school was established in 1875.
The best way to receive financial aid is to apply for multiple of scholarships.
The best time to find a parking spot is in the morning at 7am - 9am. The cost for a parking permit is quite expensive, but if students work at the school they can receive a discount.
Campus Food:
When I was living on campus, the food was okay. Now that I live off campus, friends of mine will tell me that the meals have changed. I heard that the cafeteria are serving the same meals each day in Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner.
My major is Biology and as a student this program is fully based on science and math. There are different types of science lectures such as Microbiology, Zoology, General Biology, and even Organic Chemistry. The main goal into being in the Biology program is participating in internships/summer programs.
Off-Campus Housing:
I have never experienced living in Off Campus housing. The school has a off campus housing area call Normal Hills. It looks similar to apartments.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
The A&M experience is excellent! Students who have graduated from A&M often say that there is no place like "The Hill." Sure, students complain about the long financial aid lines, old buildings, and out-of-date resources, but when asked if they would do it all over again and still make A&M their first choice, many have said they would. A&M is truly a "home away from home." It's a great place for students to discover who they are and who they can become. Being a historically black college, A&M has so much history engraved in its roots. After attending A&M, students gain a greater appreciation for their heritage and for those who came before them. Also, out of all the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), A&M has one of the best food science programs. It is one of the only HBCU's that has an accredited program. Most of the students who graduate from A&M with a food science degree are employed and working for major companies like Coca-Cola.
A&M is a great school to attend. Lifelong friendships and connections are made on this campus. Students at A&M are more than classmates—they're family. They encourage and support each other throughout their academic journey.

Snoop Dogg Shows Gratitude to U.K. Officials for Overturning His Visa Ban
Rapper Snoop Dogg has hailed the U.K. immigration officials who helped to overturn his visa ban and publicly thanked them on U.S. TV. The "Beautiful" hitmaker, real name Calvin Broadus, incurred the wrath of border officials in 2006 when he was arrested following a fracas at London's Heathrow Airport.
He was denied entry into the country in 2007 when authorities labeled him a threat, citing his prior drug and firearms offenses. Snoop challenged the decision in court and it was lifted in 2008, only for government representatives to take the case to the Court of Appeal, where it was decided the judge who reversed the ruling may have "misinterpreted the test of exclusion".
But the hip-hop star refused to back down and his case was heard at a U.K. Asylum and Immigration Tribunal in February, where his lawyers stressed the rapper's charity and community work as a high school football coach. The appeal worked and the ban was lifted for good - and Snoop is grateful to the two senior immigration judges who ruled against border authorities.
He tells U.S. newsman Larry King, "As we speak I've been reinstated and I'm on my way back to the U.K. so I wanna give a shout out to all the beautiful people who allowed me to come back." The rapper plans to return to Britain in May as part of his upcoming European tour.

A practical strategy for site operators looking to make an already-built site accessible but not ready or able to sink resources into adjusting what may be thousands of web pages is to start by committing to building in accessibility from the ground up in the next major site overhaul, and in the meantime, fixing selectively the highest-traffic pages on the site, Thatcher says.
In the end, he notes, some experiences available on a web site for those who can see simply can`t be recreated for blind or sight-impaired users, even with accessible web pages and assistive technologies, because they are totally visual experiences.
"That`s OK," he says. "There are accommodations you can do. Where the experience can be communicated to a person with disabilities it should be done, but when it can`t be, the existence of that feature should be noted with alternative text, or something like that, and that`s good enough."
Getting started on web site accessibility
The basics of what makes a web site accessible are listed in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 issued by the international web developer standards body, the World Wide Web Consortium. That organization also offers for developers 10 quick tips on key concepts:
Images and animation: Use the alt attribute to describe the function of each visual.
Image maps: Use the map and text in the site visitor`s web browser, rather than in the site`s web server, to indicate areas on the page users click on or hover over for extra information.
Multi-media: Provide captioning and transcripts of audio and descriptions of video.
Hypertext links: Use text that makes sense when read out of context. For example, avoid "click here."
Page organization: Use headings, lists and consistent structure.
Graphs and charts: Summarize or use the longdesc (long descriptions) attribute.
Scripts, applets and plug-ins: Provide alternative content in case active features are inaccessible or unsupported.
Frames: Use the noframes element and meaningful titles.
Tables: Make line-by-line reading sensible-summarize.
Check your work: Validate. Use the tools, checklist and guidelines of the W3C`s Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.

MƒÅori Language Week is a week where New Zealanders both here and overseas are encouraged to recognise and practice the MƒÅori¬Ýlanguage 'Äì Te Reo.
History of Māori Language Week
In the early 1970's it was becoming obvious that less and less people in New Zealand were able to speak Māori. Many people were concerned by the state of decline, and signed a Māori language petition which was organised, in part, by the Te Reo Māori Society. In total, 30,000 people signed the petition, which was presented to Parliament on 14th September 1972. This day become recognised as Māori Language Day, and in 1975 was responsible for the formation of Māori Language Week.
What is the purpose of Māori Language Week?
Māori Language Week is a week for all New Zealanders to recognise Maori as an official language in New Zealand. While learning the language is not compulsory, Te Reo is a special part of our kiwi identity. Even New Zealanders who have never learnt Te Reo, understand and often use words like kia ora, haka, puku, and whanau.
Māori Language Week gives us a chance to celebrate something truly unique to our country. While you may not be a fluent Māori speaker, (or even want to be), the Māori language is still a part of who we are as a nation. Ask any country who has ever played the All Blacks!
When is Māori Language Week?
Māori Language Week is a shifting celebration, which means it is not held on the same week every year.
How is Māori Language Week celebrated?
Every year Māori Language Week follows a different theme, and events and resources are designed around that topic.
Resources are available from www.korero.maori.nz, to help introduce non-Māori speakers to words related to this topic.
During Māori Language Week, many activities are organised to help promote the use of Te Reo in everyday living. You will be able to attend workshops, concerts, and seminars, not just about Te Reo, but about the Māori culture as a whole. Your local council, Citizens Advice Bureau, or marae should be able to tell you about events in your area.
Ideas for celebrating Māori Language week with your family
Asides from attending organised events and workshops in your area, there are plenty of other ways you can celebrate Māori Language Week with your children. Here are some ideas to get you started.
Use 5 Māori Words a Day
Create a family challenge where by every member has to use 5 Māori words in conversation each day. While it might seem like a difficult task at first, chances are you already know more than 5 words and use them without even thinking. Some common Māori words which are used in everyday conversation include:
- Kia ora – Hello
- Kapai – Good
- Whare – House
- Kai – Food
- Whanau – Family
- Puku – Tummy
- Korero – Talk, speak, have a conversation
- Moe – Sleep
- Waiata – Song, to sing
- Karakia – Prayer, pray
Learn New Words
Make an effort to learn a dozen Māori words before the end of the week. You may choose to label rooms and furniture in your house, or find out the Māori words for your favourite animals. You can get instant translations for almost every word at www.maoridictionary.co.nz.
Correct your Pronunciation
New Zealand is full of Māori place names, but many of us just roll them out without even attempting the correct pronunciation. If you are unsure of how to correctly pronounce a place name in your area, ask a Māori friend or listen to the Māori News.
Watch Television
Watch a Māori Children's Programme with your kids, and encourage them to copy the words and phrases. You will be surprised just how much of the programme you already understand, and it may inspire you to become more familiar with the language.
Make Māori your Second Language
Use Māori Language Week as your trigger for making Māori your second language. Many people argue that learning Māori is waste of time, and that languages such as Japanese or Mandarin are far more beneficial for you (or your children) to learn. The truth is, learning any language encourages mental development, and Te Reo is fast becoming an essential skill for many jobs in New Zealand. Learning Māori is beneficial for many careers including teaching, nursing, social work, policing and tourism.
There are all sorts of courses, books and compact discs available to help you learn Māori, but the best way to learn any language is to team up with a native speaker, and practice, practice, practice. You can join the Korero Māori Language Club, which will enable you to get in touch with fluent speakers, and encourage other people to speak to you in Māori. The more conversations you have, the better you will get!
Above all else, Māori Language Week is a chance to celebrate a part of what it means to be kiwi. Whether you speak Māori fluently, or simply understand kia ora, the Māori language is a part of what makes New Zealand unique. No other nation shares this part of our national culture, and we should be proud to call it our own!
More Information
Find some fun phrases to use at home with your family.
The Kōrero Māori website has been developed by Te Taura Whiri i te reo Māori – the Māori Language Commission.
Destination Reo is an on-line tool that brings te reo Maori learners and speakers together to learn, shop and enjoy.

My son is 5.5mo and I'm currently pumping 5 times a day. I go between 10-12hrs a night without but pump every 3hrs during the day. I average 20-22oz my first pump and 7oz my other 4. Right now I've been freezing at least 3 (6oz) bags daily and have about 2, 100oz frozen. My goal is to stop pumping June 1st and have enough frozen bm to feed my son until he is 1 on August 20th. I'm pretty confident I can do this without problems. I'd like to get down to 4ppd this weekend and am thinking I should continue going all night without pumping since my body is used to that and then pump every 4hrs during the day instead of every 3hrs like I do now. Does that sound wise? For those of you who cut down from 5 to 4ppd how did you do this? Do you have any advice for me? Ideally I'd like to get down to 3ppd by April then 2 by May so I'm gradually cutting back. TIA! :)
5ppd to 4ppd - any advice?
Posted 02/01/2013
Posted 02/01/2013
That's what I'd do. Just a heads up, when I dropped to two last time I EPed, I lost a LOT of milk. I don't recommend doing that until you are ready to stop.
Posted 02/01/2013
Thank you! When you dropped to 2 did you still produce enough for your baby daily? That's really good to know! Even if I could get to 3ppd by April and still produce like 40opd I could continue with 3ppd til June if needed. I am used to getting 50-55opd roughly now. I just thought that gradually dropping pumps would be best. Key work there is "thought" as I'm a ftm and new to all of this. Lol
Posted 02/02/2013
I stayed at 3 ppd from 6 months to close to a year and was fine. I am pretty sure that when I dropped to 2, I had to pull from my freezer stash. I didn't stop pumping until LO was a year and still had enough frozen milk that she got breast milk until she was 15 months old. Of course, at that point, it was mixed with whole milk.
Posted 02/02/2013
Oh wow, that's awesome! If my body will produce enough with 3ppd I'll be happy with that. 5ppd is doable now but I'll be working full time this summer and I'd like to cut down to 3 at least. I will need to pump however many times a day to produce as much as my son eats. If I dip into my freezer stash I won't be able to stop pumping June 1st. Guess I will see how cutting down to 4ppd goes. I'm starting today!
Posted 02/02/2013
Day 1 went very well. I pumped every 4hrs and got a total of 51oz. That may have been just a little less than normal (maybe 1-3oz) so I hope my supply remains high!
Posted 02/03/2013
I'm currently 4 mos pp and at 5ppd so no advice, but wondering how on earth you go 10 to 12 hrs at night without clogging? I went 8 hrs night before last as i couldn't force myself to get up and ended up with a painful clog! I usually can go 6 to 7. Also how long do you pump for after that many hrs?.
Posted 02/03/2013
PP- Lecithin! It has helped me drop pumps without clogs. I only take it when dropping pumps.
Posted 02/03/2013
I hear that dropping 4-3 is where people see the biggest loss. I'm still at 5 (17 weeks), so I can't offer any advice.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Winn-Dixie Stores here last week said it plans to close 30 underperforming stores in a wide range of markets throughout its operating areas, consolidate its operating regions to three from four, and reduce its corporate workforce. None of the stores slated for closure had been remodeled as part of the company's latest remodeling initiative, which has so far touched "nearly half" the chain's stores.

"Best buying experience hands down! "
First off. I hardly ever write reviews. However the customer service along can't go unnoticed. Victoria helped me through the whole process. It was not like most dealers where you sit around for a few hours.. No, I was in and out of her dealer in hour and half tops. I drove away with a quality car, quality vehicle protection plan, and a better state of mind. Victoria jumped through hoops for me. For that I can't thank auto market enough. To add on a great dealer price that no one could beat! I would suggest this dealer in purchasing your next vehicle without a doubt. And will be bringing family and friends into their direction. Thank you again VictoriaMore

"A wonderful and exciting experience. I loved It..."
I was in search for a Mini Cooper and found one in on Auto Marts Wed site. Left my name and phone number and that I was interested in it. Within 30 minutes a young lady called me and asked when I would like to come down and test drive it. She was very helpful and pleasant. I told her I would be there about 1 pm. Everyone in the office was very helpful and courteous. There was a few setbacks on my part but they made it possible for me to purchase my Dream car. I am Happy And Pleased with my experience at Auto Market. And I would definitely come back and would recommend them to my friends and family.

"Awesome experience, awesome car"
After days of searching for my dream car I stumbled upon Auto Market. They carry many great cars and have a lot of options with manual transmission which is key for me. I saw a car on their website that I wanted to look at so I went to have a look. The salesman handed me the key and sent me out on a test drive. I prefer this method because it allows me to focus on the car instead of having someone trying to sell it the whole time. I ended up buying from them which was a very easy and painless experience. Would definitely buy from them again. I love my new car!More

My Lovely Loominous Log Cabin
Wow, I can't believe the lack of production in the last six months! But finally, something to show off.
I made this quilt using a fat quarter pack of Loominous by Anna Maria Horner. As soon as I received this fabric, I knew it was destined for a log cabin quilt. The weave and colors are beautiful. They are a bit lighter in weight than regular quilting cottons so it makes for a softer and lighter quilt. Yummy.
I wanted to keep the quilting simple and since there were so many straight lines in the piecing, I decided to go with an offset spiral using orange thread. I love the way it came out.
I kept it simple by using some yardage of one of the larger prints on the back.
Couldn't resist adding this photo with the sun shining through from the back.
More finishes coming soon!

WIP Wednesday - Makin' progress
Finally getting my motivation back.
I'm almost done piecing this baby quilt. It's a bit bigger than I want so I may just use the bottom row on the back. This is such a quick and enjoyable block. The blocks will finish at 6 1/2" square.
I'm using Urban Zoology by Ann Kelle. I love the colors in this collection. I'm hoping to have it quilted by the weekend so I can sew the binding on while watching the Patriots beat the Broncos. (Sorry Denver fans.)

2016 Finish-A-Long - Quarter 1 Hopefuls
It's been ages since I posted or even finished anything. It's obvious I need some motivation. Time for the 2016 Finish-A-Long!
I decided to put in some easy finishes and some not-so-easy finishes. Without further ado...
This top has been pieced for many months. The pattern is from
A Quilters Mixology.
The back has been purchased. I'm a bit stuck as to how to quilt it.
Next is Carolyn Friedlander's
quilt. I think I have only 2 blocks left to piece. The difficult part of finishing this quilt is remembering where I put the blocks.
My hourglass quilt started in 2013. Top is completely pieced and backing has been purchased. I fell out of love with it which is why it's been sitting around.
A fun little baby quilt for a granddaughter due in March. It's all cut and ready to stitch. This is one of my easy finishes.
Another easy finish. I have an idea for some table mats or hot pads. I can piece them while watching TV.
This one is a stretch. It's Patchwork City by Elizabeth Hartman. I'm using Cotton & Steel Mochi. Love the colors in this one. I only need about 60 more blocks.
I'm hoping 2016 is a much more productive year.

Oh Baby
I finished a number of items in July (just in time for one of the baby showers) for two new babies due in our family.
I made Elizabeth Hartman's
Preppy the Whale
for a baby girl. The mom-to-be wanted bright colors instead of baby pastels. The grandparents-to-be live in Gloucester where we've departed for a family whale watch, so I thought this was appropriate. It's hard to see, but the background fabric is a pale blue. I used an all-over stipple to quilt it.
The back is a small floral with a single girly whale. I used the same blue for the binding that was used for the background.
Made a couple of quick bibs.
I also finished a really cute diaper clutch. It's a combination of tutorials I found on Pinterest.
It unrolls and opens up to a changing mat. I used a waterproof fabric for the inside because we all know that things can get messy. The pocket can hold some diapers and a package of wipes.
We also had a baby boy join the family.
I made this triangle quilt with some leftover pieces from a quilt I had made for my grandson. It was really simple. The fabric is called
Life in the Jungle
and it's from Riley Blake. I really like the orange an gray in this collection. I mixed in a few solids as well.
The back is a cute blue plaid with some leftover strips.
I did straight line stitching for the quilting and used a solid blue for the binding.
Until this weekend when I started sewing a Christmas table runner (getting an early start), I hadn't sewn a single thing since early July. It's just been too hot, plus I've been spending my time reading the Outlander series. Each book is about 1000 pages. I'm on book three.
Anyway, it's good to get back to my machine.

Show Off Saturday
Finally, a decent finish. I started this churn dash quilt in March at retreat. I finished it last week.
This is a generous-sized lap quilt measuring 63"x72". Each individual block measures 9". I used Carolyn Friedlander's Botanics. Her collection contained a nice selection of small and tone-on-tone prints as well contrasting ones. I think this allowed for the individual blocks to stand out nicely.
I used my walking foot to stitch from top to bottom along just along the center row in each block. I stitched in the ditch in the seam between each individual block. Easy peasy.
I patched the back together using some leftover blocks and scraps. The yellow fabric is an older Joel Dewberry from my stash.
I'm not generally an orange person and I'm not sure why I even had it in my stash, but I think it worked well to sharpen the edge of this quilt.
Now, I've got a couple of deadlines for baby quilts so those should be my next finishes.
Today, I'm linking up with

For the Birds
Finally, a finish. My first one in months. That's what a deadline will do for you.
Seacoast Modern Quilt Guild
will participating in
A Quilters Gathering
quilt show in November with an exhibit of mini quilts. These quilts represent a modern interpretation of a traditional block. The traditional block I chose is called Pigeon Toes. Not a very attractive block, but I wanted to finally use a ruler that I had purchased a couple of years ago. It's the Split Rec ruler by Deb Tucker. My pigeon toes turned out lovely.
The traditional block is a 5x5 grid with a combination of squares and half rectangles (pigeon toes). I kept with the 5x5 grid but rearranged the blocks and used some extra half rectangles. We were only allowed to use solids for this project and had to finish at either 18" sq. or 22" sq. This one is 22".
The diamonds and the elongated flying geese - which I call flying pigeons - are all made from half rectangles. The binding and backing is the same Kona Ash as the background. I did a bit of echo quilting within each section.
I even found a little clip-art pigeon to add the the label.
I'm calling this "Pigeons in the Park". Sounds much nicer than "Pigeon Toes".
I really liked the way the flying pigeons turned out and would definitely make another quilt with them. But first, we have two new babies coming into the family in the next few months so Auntie Jane needs to get busy with those baby quilts.

Wonderful WIP Wednesday
It's been a while since I've blogged. The 400 feet (well, almost) of snow that was dumped on us last month threw me out of sorts. Anyway, I do have a couple of things to show.
I completed this top about a month ago. It's from
A Quilter's Mixology
by Angela Pingel. I really love this book.
The curves were not very difficult. I finally found something for the backing and hopefully will be able to baste it this weekend.
I went on retreat with my the Boston Modern Quilt Guild this past weekend up in Kennebunk, ME. It was loads of fun and I actually did some sewing.
I made this churn dash top out of a fat quarter pack of Botanics. The blocks finish at 9". The layout is 7x8. That means that there were 224 HST's to trim.
I didn't think to look for a backing while up in Maine. We always make a trip to Mardens. Hopefully, I'll have something in my stash. The last thing I need to do is buy more fabric.
I bought these 3 fat quarter bundles before I went on retreat. I was really naughty and bought about 30 yards (yes, 30 yards!) more at Mardens, but it was such a good deal. I
hid it
put it away before I had a chance to photo it:) I promise I'll make good use of it.
Things are looking up. The temperature is supposed to be over 50 degrees tomorrow! I even saw little buds on my raspberry bushes today.

Content Services search queries.
Nov 3, 2008 5:51 AM
How does one search for documents on content based on phrases and logical operators, such as AND, OR, NOT, etc. Oracle's marketing material claims that Content Services is integrated with Oracle Search, which in turn supports Queries. But the end-user-query syntax documented within Ultra Search's documentation does not seem to work. Am I doing something wrong? Or is Content Services only partially integrated with Ultra Search and their is no support for content search queries? I tried both the search form in the Content Services application as well as the Federated Search Box which can be accessed from Oracle Collaboration Suite Portal page.
Regards, Jan.

I spent eleven days at this location and I was treated so nicely. I was upgraded to a king room when I arrived because there were no queens available. Brenda France, the manager, was kind enough to allow me to stay in the room when I had to extend. This is a very customer oriented manager. I have travelled a lot over the years and I think the most important quality a hotel can convey is that you are special and not just another check in - check out number. When Hadima checked me in and then when I had additional requests durimg my stay, she was very friendly and accomodating. I would recommend this location as I also found the room very clean and inviting after a day of working..
