SugarSync, a premium Cloud service that lets you access, sync and share all of your files and folders across all your computers and mobile devices, today announced a new pricing and capacity structure for its business accounts. The new SugarSync for Business plan includes a flat price of $550-per-year (or $55-per-month), which includes three users and unlimited storage.
In addition to uncapped scaling of Cloud storage capacity to meet a business' growth and demand, companies can add an unlimited number of users at any time for $125 per additional seat, and with just a few clicks.
"Businesses of all sizes use SugarSync to accelerate productivity and collaboration," said Laura Yecies, CEO of SugarSync. "We have witnessed the ultimate example of consumerization of IT over the past year, including tremendous adoption of our service by businesses that are storing more and more data in the Cloud each day. We want to allow companies of all sizes and their teams to have the capacity they need at an affordable price, without having to worry about quotas or storage."
SugarSync enables its tens of thousands of business customers to easily access, sync and share business-critical folders and files from any device on any platform, even the desktop — without forcing users and groups to work out of a single folder like other solutions do.
SugarSync's business plan features include:
- Unlimited Storage - Scalability of capacity to meet the demands of businesses of all sizes.
- Unlimited Users - New support for unlimited seats to meet the needs of large organizations.
- Flexible Sync - Sync any file or folder across any device. Just select something to sync and forget about it; it works automatically in the background.
- Collaboration - Send files of ANY size from any of your devices, to anyone. Choose read-only or add/edit permissions for everything you share.
- Trusted and Secure - File transfers use TLS (SSL 3.3) encryption. Data is stored in multiple carrier-grade (SAS 70, Type II) data centers using 128-bit AES encryption.
- Mobile Access - No extra charge for unlimited devices. Access your files using any Web browser or SugarSync mobile apps for iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Android, Blackberry, Symbian and Windows Mobile (with Windows Phone coming soon).
- Admin Dashboard - Add seats at any time, monitor user activity, assign storage limits per account, and more.
- Disaster Recovery - Backup, restore and sync your data after a hard drive crash. Multiple stored versions of every file. Full automated backup.
- Free Live Support - Real, helpful humans. You can chat, email or use our toll-free phone support.
- Easy Billing - Consolidate all those accounts. Single-point billing allows you to manage your billing online.
- Outlook Plugin - Save email storage by sending links to files directly from Outlook instead of bulky attachments.
For those who would like to test drive the business service, SugarSync offers companies a free 30-day trial.
"SugarSync makes it seamless for our 130-plus users to all stay in sync, and to share and access data across groups and the entire company," said Ryan Smith, Helpdesk Manager for RichRelevance, a provider of dynamic personalization for the world's largest retailers. "It's a very powerful, flexible and secure Cloud service that greatly enhances the way we do business."
SugarSync recently unveiled its 2.0 version of the product, including new features that make it easier than ever for groups to share and find files. This includes drag-and-drop sharing; link sharing of large folders; a "SugarSync Drive" capability that allows users to see their entire SugarSync Cloud right in their file systems, and an enhanced search functionality to quickly search all folders and data on all computers and devices, as well as the ability to search content that other team members have shared.
Given the growth of its business offerings, the company is also hiring for its business sales and support teams.

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons. In the IoT vision, every new "thing" - sensor, actuator, data source, data con...

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade.

If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things.

Editor's note: This version has been updated to correct the potential impact on property owners.
New London - The mayor suggested Monday night that the City Council consider sending out one-time supplemental tax bills to raise between $1.6 million and $6.3 million to boost the city's savings account.
Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio told the Finance Committee that the city needs a fund balance replacement plan.
"We'd be out of the state of real financial crisis that we've been in," he said.
The fund balance is the city's savings account. In the early 1990s, the council adopted a policy to keep 8.3 percent of the budget, or about $6 million in a fund balance, or savings account. Municipalities can increase a fund balance in various ways, including saving year-end surpluses and taxing residents.
A healthy fund balance can also help a city get better interest rates when it goes out to borrow money for large projects. Bonding agencies look for trends in a municipality's finances to help determine interest rates.
The city's fund balance is currently at $1.2 million, according the Finance Director Jeffery Smith. But at the close of 2011-12 budget, when the city had to dip into the fund balance to cover a $4.7 million deficit in the budget, it decreased to about $300,000.
Smith said a healthy fund balance also makes it easier to make payroll and pay bills.
"It's very difficult to run an $80 million business without having any money in the bank," Smith told the committee.
The proposed special tax would apply to all property owners. According to Finizio, a one-mill increase would generate about $1.6 million in revenue; a two-mill increase would be about $3.3 million; a three-mill increase would be about $4.7 million; and a four-mill increase would raise nearly $6.3 million.
The proposed tax levy means a resident with $100,000 of assessed value would pay $100 for a one-mill tax and up to $400 for a four-mill tax.
An average single-family home in the city is assessed at $165,900. That property owner could pay $165 to $663 in extra taxes.
The Finance Committee took no action on the mayor's proposal.
"We'll have to have more discussion," said Council President Wade Hyslop, who is chairman of the committee. He suggested the council have a public hearing and ask residents for ideas on how to raise money, other than increasing taxes.
Councilor Michael Passero said although he too wants to rebuild the fund balance, he questioned the wisdom of asking taxpayers for more money. He suggested the administration look at selling unused or under utilized municipal properties to raise money instead.
"I'm concerned. Voters have already rejected the idea of raising more money for the fiscal year," he said. "The taxpayers are saying to us 'we are paying all we can pay."

Exactly two months minus 1 day ago, we went to Kyushu of Japan for the very first time, and I'm still missing the tranquility of the place, a lot, especially that of the hot spring town Yufuin.
As to why these photos were unblogged until now, the return of the Good Wife, Modern Family, Downton Abbey and Doctor Who all at once usurping my already limited free time is to be blamed. That, and me starting to learn Japanese, which is much harder than I thought.

This frilly patchwork dress by Stylenanda is unlike anything I've worn before. It's retro, quirky and romantic all in one and inexplicably charming.
Guess what I love most about it though? "Cat's foot" printed on the chest, and I've just found out that it's the name of a plant.
How can something so factual be so poetic and beautiful:-
"Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: You are all stardust." ~ Lawrence Krauss

"Roses are red, that much is true, but violets are purple, not quite blue".
As in my previous post, I used Smashbox's "Be Legendary Long-wear Lip Lacquer" in the shade of vivid violet together with "Always Sharp Lip Liner" in the matching hue of bold berry. The only difference is I've taken away the glossiness here and applied the lip liner all over my lips to give it a more matte look.
I know I've said it before, but just in case you forgot: For every gif created, Smashbox will donate a product to Look Good Feel Better, an organisation dedicated to making cancer patients who are undergoing treatment look and feel better. Hope you will join this create a gif campaign!

The dates are just a little bit off, but they are close enough. I know that Alexander had a brother named Henry, but I'm not sure if this is them. Is there anywhere that I can write to ask if there is information on these four people that might list their next of kin or place of birth, etc. to make sure it is them?

Hi Ladies,
New thread time Link to the last thread is here.
Posted 09 January 2013 - 09:51 AM
I've always wanted to do that!
Nothing else to say....just bored at work today!

ugh work. why aren't I fabulously independently wealthy???
Posted 09 January 2013 - 11:23 AM
Hey Ally most people who have gotten gold's have graduated from the group :-)
How you feeling babe? I am so excited for you. I can't wait for Friday to come by and P/O quickly. You better collect oodles of baby dust for the rest of us.
Clarisse I am not going anywhere hun. I belong in this group with all of you but I do feel like a loser now. More than 1 year since TTC and no BFP. When I lost bub, and the way the drs were talking to me, I was convinced I was going to fall immediately after my loss. It's now been 18 mths since my last BFP. I can't help thinking, God was that a Fluke???
Anyhow, IVF here I come. I am going to countdown to my time to IVF. I have 2 more tries from now before we start IVF. Not long to go
Although AF is on her way (stupid cramps), I am still in such a happy and cheerful mood. Not sure how long it will last.
2P - Ditto. I am not in the mood to work at the moment. I would rather sit here and dream :-)
Posted 09 January 2013 - 11:44 AM
Hi Girls
so we finally got a new thread!
Have been reading lots (and following) but given I have not much news didn't quite feel like posting!
Ally, I am so happy for you and have everything crossed that lines just get darker until Friday
K, Sweetheart you are not a loser at all. Massive for you
2P - followed your (well hubby's) diving dramas hope everything is improving and yes not working right now would be awesome.
AFM - on CD 4 and not much to say ... another cycle down. I have days where I want to jump straight to a FS and other days where I am happy to just keep trying. I do know is that its getting harder to stay positive and I do find myself contemplating that I might never have kids. Probably not very helpful.
Posted 09 January 2013 - 12:07 PM
Am also not in the mood to work. At all. Money tree o money tree, where art thou?
K, I'm glad you're not leaving us and you're not a loser at all!
Posted 09 January 2013 - 12:12 PM
Clarisse if you find that money tree you have to share!
Posted 09 January 2013 - 12:57 PM
If I find one, I'll give you all cuttings to plant for yourselves
Posted 09 January 2013 - 01:30 PM
I kill plants - don't know if i can be trusted with a money tree
Posted 09 January 2013 - 02:20 PM
Hello Ladies, I would really like to join this group if I can. I have been reading alot of your posts here and I really struggle to keep up with who is who as there are so many of you but I would love to try.
Firstly I have to say to all of you I am very very sorry for your losses at whatever stage of pregnancy you were in it does not matter, the pain is pain no matter how far along you were. I can only imagine for those who have lost further along in pregnancy than I did how terrible that loss would have been. It makes me very sad to think anyone had to go through it.
Just a little background on me I am 41 and DH 42 just married after just under a year of dating (was clear he was it for me) on 31st August 2012. I went off the pill the week we got married.
I started using OPK in oct 2012 and got pregnant on 29th Nov 2012 and Early MC on 9th Dec 2012. I was just over 5 weeks according to my GP after bloods taken on 30th Nov.
After talking to my GP we decided to not wait til first AF because of my age and just go for it. My Levels returned to less than 3 after 3 dys of MC starting.
I thought I had a positive OPK (not quite as dark as control line) on 21 Dec.
We started to BD on 14th,then 16th,18th, 20th, 21st, 22nd, 24th 26th just to make sure we covered it all lol. We also BD on 30th. Well I have been testing for a week and until last night all tests BFN. I got the faintest of faint lines last night and this morning (not sure if is false, You really have to look to see it but it comes up within a minute)
So now am waiting over next few dys to see if its really positive or not. I am due for AF today if my cycle is on track. I have had stomach cramps since the 29th Dec daily but my symptoms are not like last time at all.
congrats to those who are expecting this month I will be stalking your progress closely lol I am so excited to hear about what your pregnancies bring. Sticky babies to you all
Posted 09 January 2013 - 02:47 PM
Awww thanks girls. Elippo you are officially known as the "tree killer" now, imagine killing a money tree at that. Ooh Clarisse, I would love a cutting of that plant. Let me know as soon as you find it.
Ellipo, I hate the waiting to O part. CD4's are so boring and uneventful. Bring on CD11 - 17 I say :-) FX for you for this cycle babe and also for not needing a FS.
pixi welcome to our group. It's a wonderful group to be in and all the girls here are awesome. Our grads are even more awesome cos they drop in and check up on us and leave wonderful notes reminding us that they were here once too and it all worked out. Well if you have gotten a BFP again (and yay for you), then you will be our grad with the shortest stay. Wait till tomorrow am and do another test. I am told that no 2 pregs are the same and so the symptoms may not be the same. Be positive, happy and loads of prayers for you. I will be to see your POAS results tomorrow am. Hope the witch stays away.
Posted 09 January 2013 - 04:03 PM
Glamour- this cycle is taking forever!!4 dpo with only a week till testing and I am going Dotty! I started SS today which I know is not good but I can't avoid it. TMI warning but I have had heaps of white CM today only...do u think I could be ovulating late? Even though I swore I ovulated the other day (tested and everything). Plus I have that dull crampy feeling that I always get when I o...man I hope I'm not o now! Any ideas?As for Kim kardashian...the girl makes my blood boil pregnant or not....they won't let gay people get married but they let people like her! Argh! Haha...rants over sorry ladies.
Ally- thanks so much for those answers. It's such a tough one knowing whether or not to test early cause its so blooming exciting! I'm hoping I can be strong because I feel like the disappointment of a chemical would far outweigh a couple of days wait....so the 16th it is for me and no sooner! Can't wait for Friday for you, only two more sleeps!
K- 2 cycles is really not far and definitely something for you to look forward to. At least you know that you are doing everything in your power to make this happen! U are a true champion in my eyes and a loser is far from what I would describe u as xoxo
2p- mutual feeling on the work front. I'm always telling DH that I'm just one of those people who weren't meant to work! He always seems to think I'm joking?
Elippo- good to have u back cd 4 is a fresh start to a new and potentially brilliant cycle! FX for u :-)
Pixi- welcome, you're in a great place and by the sounds of it, not for very long which is great news! The girls here are fantastic xoxo
Posted 09 January 2013 - 06:12 PM
thank you ladies, I hope I will only be here a short while and I hope the same for you ladies too. I think we deserve to have a bub more than most because of our experiences. It makes me so angry when people who could not give a stuff have babies willy nilly. We all really want them and would make great mums so I hope our dreams are achieved
Posted 09 January 2013 - 09:13 PM
Wishfully - haha - My ENTIRE life is SS these days, i think it's unavoidable really. I'm 5/6 DPO today... i have a feeling i ovulated a day earlier than usual according to my temps & OPKs. But i'm sticking with 5 DPO in my brain to be on the safe side when it comes to testing! I had an afternoon nap today after work which i've never done before - usually only on the weekends very rarely. I have a creamy CM at the moment and feeling generally wet... but maybe that is because its been so hot? Well... i got some internet cheapies in the mail today. I've told myself that if i at least hold out till Monday that i can have some sort of treat hehe!
I do believe it's possible to have some fertile CM after you've ovulated.. from what i've read, it usually ends in a BFP! So fingers crossed for you. Maybe get some BDing in just to be on the safe side. xx
K - Has the witch arrived?
Ally - Getting my hopes up for a BFP on Friday for you!
Posted 09 January 2013 - 10:10 PM
hi Glamour no she hasn't. She is 2 days away i believe so i am expecting her on Sat, the biatch.
Love reading your and Wishfully's posts. I spent a good 10 mths looking for EPS and driving myself crazy and constantly POAS only to be disheartened each month so i stopped but I think you girls will have much better luck than me.
Here's a question, esp for those of you who've had multiple losses, were your early preg symptoms the same for each preg? When I got my BFP last time, i tested 5 days early and got a BFP and the only reason i knew something was different was because i was peeing for the planet and it just felt different and it was happening every 1 hour and like 5 times a night. I just knew it. If only I could have that happen again.
Posted 09 January 2013 - 11:17 PM
Hi girls
I'm in shock.... Just got a !! I've only had one period since my last miscarriage but I usually have a 28 day cycle so would have been due for AF yesterday. I didn't test until tonight though using digital and got positives on both tests.
I'm anxious but excited.
K - this is the third time and I would say I have felt different each time. The first time I only tested as I realised I was well past my period....before my tracking days. The second time I tested the day before as I felt a bit queasy, and today only thought it was a slim chance as I have been ravenously hungry and have terrible skin at the moment.
Girls, I am so not ready to leave this group so hopefully I can still hang here...I am too anxious to join a DIG until I gets lot closer to 12 weeks.
And I am now a serious believer in relaxation helping with conception, evidently this one was also conceived on holidays, same as the last two times. forgetting work and life for a bit seems to do wonders....
Ally, I'll be ...
Posted 10 January 2013 - 07:22 AM
Morning girls
KLR - how very exciting - fingers, toes and everything crossed for you!
K - We drive ourselves crazy with looking for EPS don't you. I have to keep remembering that for my first (and only) BFP I actually had no real symptoms until after I saw that faint line which was one day after AF was due (and after I had weird spotting). I did have an increase in creamy CM but I have now had that with both post MC cycles so am not using that as a sign. But thanks for the good wishes - I am thinking BD'ing from as soon as AF has left.
Glamour - good luck holding out, I find that with internet cheapies in the house I have no self control (probably because they are so cheap and I have so many)
Pixi - welcome!
Wishfully - do you mean white CM as in colour or egg white consistancy? If it is creamy in colour its likely post ovulation (but an increase in CM can be a EPS).
AFM - CD 5, was going to temp vaginally this cycle but really am not sure I can be bothered temping at all. Might just try with crazy amount of BDing from as soon as AF has left ...
Posted 10 January 2013 - 08:06 AM
KLR - how exciting!!!! Congratulations!!! I think there is a LOT to be said for being stress free whilst TTC.
Wishfully - I have a feeling this month is going to be ANOTHER chemical, so I sometimes wish I had your strength. Maybe next month I should get DH to hide the tests.
Glamour - sounding positive for you, too!
Pixi - FX you'll be outta here in the next day or so!
K - it's an interesting question. I was SO relaxed when I started TTC and not symptom spotting at all. I was surprised to get my BFP as I hadn't noticed any symptoms, but then, I don't think I was particularly in tune with my body. With both chemicals, I have felt 'pregnant', but I am not sure if it's placebo. Last month, I only fel a bit naseous for a day or two. This month, I have felt off all week.
Elippo - Your DH will probably like that crazy BD theory! I cannot bring myself to temp vaginally. Just can't. It's too much first thing in the morning.
Clarisse - I might need some of those cuttings, particularly if my job interview goes well on Monday (more on that below).
AFM, still a faint line, but it's getting fainter (I think....). Certainly not getting darker. I am still feeling 'off', but am not holding out too much hope. DH bought a ridiculoulsy expensive bottle of bugundy in case we needed to drown our sorrows this month, so at least I have that to look forward to. I do expect the tests to turn negative and AF to show up in the next few days. I am trying not to be TOO negative, girls. On the flip side, my BFP did not actually show up until 17DPO (and I am 14DPO today), so there is some slim hope.
On the subject of stress reduction, I have a job interview Monday - wish me luck!! I work for the devil. I know there are a few lawyers in this group, so I am sure you can imagine the type - baby boomer, white, male, egotistical, megalomaniac. I call him the white collar psychopath. Problem is, the cunning man overpays me (like 'danger' money that soldiers get!). Anyway, I am interviewing for a public service job Monday. It's a hefty pay cut, but it will be worth it for some happiness.
Posted 10 January 2013 - 08:17 AM
2P - I agree completely! We should all get lots of money lol
K - sorry AF is on her way, really hope it's an easy month for you FX
I can't answer your question for multiple m/c's, but I can say that I never really had intense EPS with my pg until after the 2WW time, and have had pretty similar "symptoms" for other non pg cycles, I also didn't have that "I just know I'm pg" feeling until after my period was one day late.
pixi - welcome, and I hope your BFP turns out really well
Wishfully - As per Elippo, if the CM is white in colour then that's "normal" "everyday" CM (lol) and can be an EPS, if it's like egg white (mainly clear and stretchy) then that's generally the fertile CM, but also like Elippo said it can come after O as well as before.
I would hazard a guess that you've already O'd, both the CM and O cramps can happen after O has actually happened and be completely normal, or they can both be EPS Unfortunately our cycles do not have to always follow the same pattern and can even be different for just one cycle out of all of them and it mean nothing other than our hormones were slightly different for no particular reason.
(I've had O type cramps after O before). Fingers crossed for you and I hope it's EPS
Glamour - FX for you, hope your 2WW flies by
KLR - That's great news, well done! Everything is crossed that all goes well
Elippo - sorry that you are very up and down lately and I hope that some positively comes your way. Last cycle I was really positive and looking forward to contacting my OBGYN if this current cycle didnt happen, but not that I'm in this cycle I'm quite anxious and definitely not positive like last cycle
Ally - fingers very very crossed for you, I do so hope it's not another chemical for you. And much good luck coming your way for the job interview (your current boss sounds like all sorts of bad)
AFM - My period is due tomorrow and one minute I feel like this might be it, and the next minute I feel horribly naive for thinking like that.
I feel more and more distant from conceiving, like it's unachievable, or some distant concept that isn't actually a reality, sometimes my pg, mmc, D&C all feels like it didn't actually happen, like it was just a dream or something. Like, I couldn't possibly have been pg, because I'm not getting pg again / now.
It really does just feel so unachievable.
My plan is to contact my OBGYN if this cycle doesn't happen, and although last cycle (in early Dec) I was really positive about this being the next step, now I'm feeling more like, "what's the point" - *argh* it's just so annoying feeling like this!!
Posted 10 January 2013 - 08:42 AM
N @ K I'm FX that your period doesn't show up tomorrow xx
Ally I know exactly the type of man you mean. My boss is like that but not a megalomaniac (most of the time). He overpays me too ... but at least I'm home by 6pm almost every day! Good luck with your interview on Monday!
KLR79 oooh congratulations! Please stick around here for as long as you need to
Elippo I always consider temping but can never be bothered haha
Glamour wait until Monday! You should decide now what you'll treat yourself too if you do hold out so that you can think of that when you feel like testing.
Pixi welcome
K if I ever find a money tree, I'll be sure to share it
AFM I had more EWCM yesterday and my OPK was a lot darker, almost positive so hopefully it will be positive today (CD25) which means I'm on track for a 38 day cycle which is what my cycle tracking app predicted. I wish I knew that I was going to O so late in the cycle, wouldn't have started BDing so early hahaha
Posted 10 January 2013 - 08:51 AM
KLR you beauty I am sooooo pleased for you. Congratulations my darling. When you rejoined our group, I felt so bad for you so I am doubly pleased for you. Please be positive and just hang around here for as long as you need to .
N @ K I feel more and more distant from conceiving, like it's unachievable, or some distant concept that isn't actually a reality, sometimes my pg, mmc, D&C all feels like it didn't actually happen, like it was just a dream or something. Like, I couldn't possibly have been pg, because I'm not getting pg again / now. It really does just feel so unachievable. It feels like you have read my soul and put it down on paper. I feel exactly this and deep down in my soul (not mind) I constantly feel this way, which is why I put that "loser" comment about myself. I feel like a loser because I feel the exact same way. But I must say, after crying over my lost son for 1 year, I feel much stronger this year and so there is an element of positivity in me too. I am no longer punishing myself for losing him. Please don't snap at me for saying this hun but you are 28 and still very young, so just cut out the stress as much as possible and AF hasn't arrived yet, so who knows you could be preg as we speak. Ooh I really hope that is the case. FX it happens for you very very soon.
Ally please no more negativity. I had the same thing happen and carried till almost 19 weeks. Your HCG levels could get diluted if you are drinking a lot, the tests might not be a good one. Go to the dr on Sunday/Monday and get a BT. Please don't think negative. In fact, do the opposite and think that this is your sticky. I now totally believe in the concept of self fulfilling prophecy and the act of positive thinking. I am a lawyer too and I understand what you are saying about the ridiculous pay, thankfully I am in a niche area so I only have to deal with a**holes on some of my matters. Good luck with the interview. Focus on that and I am sure all will be well on your "bub" front. If you do get the job, will you still take it? You will need to go on mat leave in approx 8 mths time love xo.
Wishfully I get cramps for a week (horrid cramps) after I have O'd and the creamy/white (not clear) CM is usually an indication that your body is producing progesterone. The prog is produced by the follicle from which the egg came and it helps sustain a pregnancy. So hopefully you caught the egg when you O'd.
Ellipo good luck with this cycle babe. I have stopped symptom watching because I did it for most of last year and then would spend days crying when AF would show up. I have learnt some very hard lessons. I remember the day my water broke, I had written a comment on my facebook page saying "patience is not a virtue that I have". Because I was dying to see my hubby who had gone to China and more importantly I was dying to find out if i was having a girl or a boy at my 20 week scan. My water broke at 17.5 weeks. What a SLAP life gave me!! I then spent all of last year dying to get to "testing" time and again, was taught a harsh lesson, so this year I am trying to let things go and to go with the flow. Lets see how long it lasts. Take care of yourself, all will be well. This is our year :-)
Glamour what symptoms have you spotted today??
2p how's things babe?
Nothing much to report. Went and saw our house yesterday. It's looking nice except I am disappointed with my shower (in the ensuite) and I didn't like DH's attitude when I got upset about it, so I had a bit of a cry and was just grumpy. Woke up today feeling a bit better. It's still going to be a brand new house I guess (there I go counting the positives, I'd have never thought this of myself, I am miss negativity personified). No more cramps but feeling hot flushes. AF is such a witch. If I met her in person i would kill her . Going bed shopping tonight. Most frustrating task ever. Stalking for news from pixi.

K - your words brightened me up so much. I have been REALLY thirsty, too, so drinking a lot. Thank you so much, darling.
I will still take the job if it is a BFP. I know it's a bit crazy. I will get 3 months at full and 3 months at half pay mat leave here, which is great, but sometimes money cannot be the primary driver. We almost own our apartment (which is large, 2 bedrooms and in a great location, so will suit us fine when we get an addition), have a few hundred thousand in our offset account and DH has a good job. If we are blessed with a bub, we can manage on one salary for a while. People with a lot less manage and so will we. If I get the job AND a BFP, I will negotiate an arrangement with them before I accept that suits us both. I think they will appreciate my honesty, particularly if I tell them the amazing mat leave I am foregoing to take the position.
This is your year, K. Your whole attitude has shifted so much - it has to be a good thing.
I am so jealous of your new house!!
N @ K I'll be stalking for you. Everything is crossed. K is right - you are young and it could be happening for you right now.
Clarisse - I DREAM of being home by 6pm! We are not permitted to leave until 6pm at the earliest. If anyone has seen Mad Men, my boss is exactly like Don Draper. I gave him Mad Men for Christmas, but I'm not sure if he'll get the hint....
He lies a LOT and plays a fun game of looking at your calendar, seeing personal appointments and then urgently having to speak with you at EXACTLY the same time. I have missed that many yoga classes, friends birthday dinners and other occassions from this insane behaviour.
Where is that money tree girls??!!!! (although my brother in law gave me a cactus for Christmas as I usually kill all plants, so don't trust ME with it!).
Posted 10 January 2013 - 09:37 AM
Thanks Ally.
TMI but I just went to the loo and when I wiped, I got pink so AF is definitely going to arrive very soon. Funnily enough I didn't get too upset, a small amount of disappointment and then "move one". Ally I am so envious that you almost own your aptment. Frankly, in this country if you own your home (whatever that home is), the rest is much easier. We were almost the same as you except that we sold our house cos I lost the baby there and I couldn't bear to live in it, it was getting TOO much for me. So we then knocked down our rental property and are building this and we will end up with a bigger mortgage now. I suspect, we will be "dying" in this new house as this is it for us. As soon as it's done and furnished, all my pay will be going into the mortgage so that hopefully in 3-4 years we too will have almost paid it off. Then I don't care whether I lose my job or whatever, i will happily work the floor in DJ's and spray perfume or line the shelves at coles. To me no job is too big or too small. If I can stay at home and be with my kid and work at night at coles then so be it. My DH has a good job but engineers don't get paid the same as lawyers so for the moment me working in this stressful but highly paid job helps us out a lot and gets us closer to our goal.
Ally, we are so similar I turned down a job at EY which was going to pay a LOT more than my pay here and I am already highly paid, I told them up front that I wanted a baby and I wouldn't be able to give them the comittment they wanted from me because I might start work and then announce i was preg. Better to be honest than to burn my bridges.
BTW are you in Sydney????
Been meaning to tell you all that I bought 2 weeks extra leave this year and I am going to use every second of that leave to help me. Who knows I might need it when I go on IVF
Posted 10 January 2013 - 09:38 AM
Good Morning Ladies, Omg I am struggling to keep up with you all but I will do my best lol. I am going to have to scroll through the posts and type this as I do hahaha.
Thank you all for your welcome and happy BFP thoughts.
Glamour and Wishfully I have been ESS for weeks now as I have not had AF since my MC in Dec and I have much confusion around ovulation as it wasn't clear. Drives you nuts huh? lol
clarisse83 Here is hoping for a positive O test today
KLR congratulations I am sending sticky bubba thoughts your way
kmaharaj Its so exciting building a new house but such a worry at the same time as you want them to get everything perfect. Its new and it should be perfect right? I understand your anger though as there were a couple of things I put my foot down on and made them fix no matter what. I built mine on my own thought, it was before I met my DH. I hope it comes together nicely and shopping for furniture is a pain but exciting at the same time. I wish AF would go away forever but we need that to be able to ovulate don't we? or do we?lol
AllyK81 You are sounding like your where I am at. I have taken probably 6 tests all FRER since Tues and all have a faint line, before then they were all BFN.
I have found mine seem to be slightly darker if I take later in the day but that could be my imagination. They are not really getting much darker if at all in the last day. I really hope your BFP sticks and mine too and we can be buddies through this.
Good luck with the job
N@K I am sorry your feeling like its not going to happen but try to be positive and your day will come as you deserve it to happen because you want it so much. One of my friends asks the angels for things. She asked the angels for me to get a BFP last week for today and I am hoping the very faint lines are it.
AFM - Well you may as well be talking to Ally when talking to me as I feel I am in the same boat. Please don't take that the wrong way Ally.
Lines look like they are not getting darker, then I think they are more faint! Tests get left laying around and dry out and get darker so I compare new ones to those sheesh
I have become totally addicted to POAS. I have taken like 6 tests in less than 2 days because I am feeling like Ally and the line is not getting much darker and sometimes fainter.
I think the reason its not getting darker is because I am testing too much. How can I expect it to get darker after 3 hrs? lol I found my test yesterday afternoon was the darkest but still faint. My FMU is not showing darker and think it could be because I get up minimum of 3 times at night to pee.
Its doing my head in hahaha I have had stomach cramps since 29th on and off but usually every day. I feel like AF is coming but I dont at the same time as I never get cramps before but the pains are like mild AF pains. Jeez this business of trying to get pregnant messes with your head
Off to my naturopath today she specialises in fertility and this is my second visit my last was one day before my last BFP. I spent so much money only to find out was pregnant already hahaha. Its crazy my appointment is today and I may even be pregnant again.
I will keep you updated on my testing progress. Its my grandmothers birthday tomorrow she passed just before my wedding and she was my matron of honor, it would be so nice to get a true BFP then. She would love that
If i missed anyone please forgive me I have taken 20mins to get this far lol there are so many of you and I am finding it hard to find out whats going on with you all
I wish beautiful bubs for you all and I really mean that. What a precious thing it would be for all of us who want it so much. xxx

More OpenGL Extensions Emerging In Mesa
Published on 21 January 2014 08:03 AM EST
Written by
Michael Larabel
6 Comments
It was just yesterday I was writing about
a new OpenGL 4.1 extension in Mesa
and today I have two more GL4 extensions to report on that are in the process of being enabled for the Mesa driver, in particularly within Intel's open-source code.
First up are a set of 15 patches by Chris Forbes that implement ARB_texture_view support for the Intel DRI driver. In the past there was some groundwork done on ARB_texture_view, but this new set of patches make the extension actually work for Intel's graphics driver with Ivy Bridge and Haswell. ARB_texture_view allows a texture's data store to be viewed in multiple ways and this extension is required by the OpenGL 4.3 specification.
The Intel ARB_texture_view work can be found on
The other extension work to already report on this morning is ARB_arrays_of_arrays. This work is the
second-round of Mesa crowd-funding
done independently by Timothy Arceri. This is another OpenGL 4.3 specification and allows basically multi-dimensional arrays within OpenGL and GLSL. It's taken some time to get this GL4 extension implemented but he's now up to a second version of the patches for
review on the mailing list
. Unfortunately the work isn't done in full yet -- i.e. hooking it up to the actual hardware GPU drivers -- and Arceri doesn't know how long it will be until he finishes up that work.

Police stopped a speeding car on East Philip during the night and ended up taking a North Platte to jail.
Police spokesman Rodney Brown said at around 12:40 a.m. Thursday, a patrol officer was parked in the Karl's parking lot at 901 S. Cottonwood, when a white Oldsmobile Achieva sped past, heading east on Philip Ave.
The officer conducted a traffic stop and issued a warning to the driver, an unidentified 32 year-old woman. He also asked the driver for permission to search the car, and received it.
Brown said the search turned up a small clear plastic baggie containing suspected methamphetamine.
The passenger, Leroy S. Reeves, 24, was charged with felony possession of a controlled substance (meth) and jailed.

Defensive tackle injured Aaron Wilson
Following a low block that angered him and teammates, Minnesota Vikings defensive tackle Kevin Williams will undergo a magnetic resonance imaging exam today to have his knee injury tested.
While Jared Allen called it a cheap shot from offensive lineman Joe Looney and Vikings coach Leslie Frazier says he might send video of the play, which didn't draw a penalty, to the league, Williams was upset.
"I feel all right," Williams told reporters. "Don't really know what's wrong, but I think I'm fine. I was just upset that I'm getting cut like that 11 years in from a guy I don't even know who the guy is. Between the pain and the fact that no one was looking it was terrible."
Added Frazier: "Kevin Williams is probably the one injury we're concerned about. Other than that, whatever we had were bumps and bruises that should be fine in time. Kevin is the one we'll take a look at."

ST. JOSEPH COUNTY Crews were unable to pick up the trash on Monday and Tuesday for a couple of reasons.
First, the cold temperatures posed a danger to workers plus the landfill was closed.
In the city of South Bend, trash pickup will resume Wednesday, and will continue through the weekend. "Well, if you're normally a Monday you actually get picked up on Wednesday this week and if you're a Tuesday you'll be picked up on Thursday," explained said Andre Price, of the South Bend Bureau of Solid Waste. "If you're a Wednesday, you're actually going to get picked up on Friday and then if you're a Thursday collection—which our normal last day of the week—is actually picked up on Saturday this week."
Meanwhile, St. Joseph County's curbside recycling program has modified its schedule, too. People who were supposed to have their recycling picked up on Monday or Tuesday will have to wait for their next regularly scheduled pickup in two weeks.
Otherwise, recycling pickup resumes--according to the normal schedule—on Wednesday.

I first heard about Michaelmas through Haley's blog, and have seen and read more and more about it over the past several months. It is a feast day with such rich tradition and interesting history, I knew I wanted to celebrate it in a fun way with the girls this year.
I decided to go all in and invite the Super Friend Family over to make it even more fabulous.
I got pretty much all of my information and ideas from Haley's post here and Kendra's post here, and the St. Michael prayer card above is a printable from this post.
Traditionally on Michaelmas, folks have served goose and carrots and blackberries. I couldn't find a goose (not for lack of trying)
so I made cornish game hens instead, with this recipe. I had never made this particular recipe before, and it's been a few years since the last time I cooked a cornish hen, but this was easy and quite yummy (and made enough to feed four adults and seven children). I also made whisky glazed carrots from this recipe, which were amazing, and blackberry cobbler from this recipe. I literally decided to throw together the cobbler Sunday night at 9:00, and I'm glad I did. It was very easy and so good.
I love the story of why people eat blackberries on Michaelmas. The legend goes that, when St. Michael cast satan from heaven, he fell into a blackberry bush (satan, not St. Michael). He was angry, and he cursed and spat on the blackberries. So, tradition says to eat all the available blackberries on Michaelmas, because after that day they will taste bitter from satan cursing and spitting on them.
The food was good. The company was excellent. Before dinner the kids colored archangel pictures I copied from various coloring books I have. I happened to have a coloring page for each of the archangels, which I was quite excited about because St. Raphael tends to be the archangel that no one mentions much, and I wanted to be sure to have something to celebrate him, because he is the patron of our home parish.
The big fun, however, happened after dinner. I stole Kendra's idea and got a piñata of the devil for the kids to beat up on. I found one to order on Etsy in this shop. I don't see the original listing in the shop anyone, but it was for a DareDevil character piñata, which looked like it had a mask on and a slightly smiling face. I asked the artist to make it a bit more devil-like. She did a great job.
I put some candy in the body of this guy and the kids went to town on it.
I thought for sure that the bigger kids would smash it open in no time.
But this piñata was actually made a bit too strong. They went around and around, taking turns banging on it, and it just wouldn't open. Finally I suggested putting it on the ground to give them better aim and leverage on the thing.
Even that didn't really work. They made some holes in it, but not enough for the candy to spill out all over the floor. I think perhaps grown men with baseball bats could have smashed it open, but not children six and under with a segment of Swiffer Sweeper handle. The good news about that is that it is still intact enough that I will be able to salvage it and reuse it for next year.
I the end the dads ripped it open a bit where the kids had made the holes and dumped the candy on the floor. The kids didn't seem to care. They got candy. They got to take many turns whacking the devil. They got to stay up past bedtime on a school night (seriously, it took forever to get that piñata open!). I think a good time was had by all.
At one point in the evening, I believe between dinner and dessert, I heard Lass in the next room, leading all the kids in a rousing cheer for St. Michael. "Three cheers for St. Michael!" she yelled. And all of them chimed in, "Hip-hip Hooray! Hip-hip Hooray! Hip-hip Hooray!"
I think we have a new yearly tradition.
Happy Michaelmas!

Tallahassee, FL -- December 13, 2011 --
1976 was the first year Bobby Bowden stepped into the head coaching role for the FSU football team. Here we are nearly 36 years later and coach Bowden stepped into Doak Campbell Stadium for the first time as former head coach.
Would you believe after 34 years on the sidelines coach Bowden spent nearly 2 years away from the program. Tonight, he was the guest speaker at the Tallahassee Quarterback Club end-of-the year banquet..
Bowden told reporters he didn't get emotional about the much anticipated return to Florida State. He also said the urge for coaching has turned into a passion for watching.
"I coached 57 years, I guess that was enough. At my age, 82, you don't have any hankoring to get out on that field anymore. But what it does, it enables me to watch games. I've seen more games in that last two years than I've ever seen in my life."
