T-Pain ft. Lil Wayne - Let Me Thru [Stream]

You know those weird dudes who show up to the strip club at noon and stick around till closing time? If T-Pain didn't have this music sh*t going on, that would be him. On a new single, the follow-up to April's Bad... Read More

Trina ft. T-Pain - Ghetto [Stream]

Snoop Dogg ft. T-Pain - Boom [Stream]

T-Pain ft. Rick Ross - Rap Song [Stream]
T-Pain is not usually one for subtlety – you don't have to wonder what songs like Reverse Cowgirl or Buy You a Drink are about – but I'll admit that for a moment he had me fooled on his new single Rap Song. Ok, I... Read More
Ron Artest ft. T-Pain - Champions (Remix) [Stream]

Travie McCoy wanted to be a Billionaire, but Houston rap legend and UGK alum Bun B won't settle for just sitting alongside Oprah and Bill Gates, he wants to take it a notch further. Fueled by the J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League's... Read More
Travie McCoy ft. Gucci Mane, T-Pain & Bruno Mars - Billionaire (Remix) [Stream]

Flo-Rida ft. T-Pain - Zoosk Girl [Stream]
I know what you're thinking; what the hell is a Zoosk Girl? I'll be honest, I've listened to Flo-Rida's new single for the last twenty minutes straight and I still have no idea. Even more confusingly, I can't 100... Read More
Timbaland ft. Billy Blue & T-Pain - Talk That [Stream]

T-Pain ft. Snoop Dogg & Mack Maine - Ghetto Commandments [Stream]

T-Pain ft. Young Jeezy - Reverse Cowgirl [Stream]

DJ Khaled ft. T-Pain, Ludacris, Rick Ross & Snoop Dogg - All I Do Is Win [Stream]
According to DJ Khaled's new single All I Do Is Win, but that title feels ironic considering his last two offerings, Put Your Hands Up and Fed Up, were relative losers in the DJBooth rating department. Still, whatever your... Read More

I've got this all up and running now and promised a review a while back. So here it is.
About TASC Insight
TASC insight is an ASPX based web frontend for Sims data aimed at parents.
Some blurb from their website "INSIGHT provides secure access to pupil data in your SIMS MIS, from attendance and behaviour and homework through to school reports, in a clear, easy to use and understandable manner. Now even non-technical parents can engage in their child's learning and participate in school life."
What a dream this was. Literally its one installer that runs on your webserver. Just make sure you install and update sims workstation on the server before running it and type in a sims username, upload a logo. Thats really all that was required. It was up and running in about 10 minutes.
All the documentation is on a very well laid out WIKI here. Its constantly updated and relevant all the time. The only downside is you can't really print it out but sending the live link to anyone they can be up and running in a few minutes. Most things are self explanatory though.
User Import
Assuming you have parents email addresses in Sims and Parent priority levels set, all you have to do is click "sync" and it will create all the users automatically. You then have to "activate" them which will send them a welcome email and instructions on logging in.
Parent feedback
The best bit of feedback we got from the test users was the ease of logging in. They found it really easy to use the 5 digit upercase password that was changed on first login. They loved the fact the system emailed them all the details and also had great comments on the large buttoned user interface and how easy everything was to find. In summary they absolutely love it. Some parents have mentioned that a few small design problems with firefox and works best with IE which is a downside.
The competition
To say this is better than our old system (Capita Sims SLG) is an understatement. Its around 10 times cheaper (yes I said TEN times!!), easier to setup and upgrade (SLG was a nightmare), easier to create accounts, doesn't touch your active directory. Much better user interface, doesn't require SharePoint. More information, laid out in a better way. I really could go on. In my opinion anyone who keeps SLG without investigating this product needs their head examined. SLG was a total failure for us in our school and a complete waste of money. Using TASC insight has shown just how much of a success this can be with well written software.
I don't have any experience with the Bromcom Parent site so can't really comment but I doubt its any worse than SLG. Not sure about any other products but I did hear Groupcall were developing a parent app which could be very interesting in the future.
I've had to telephone them twice, both times I immediately spoke to a support/developer. Both very good experiences and fixed the problem very quickly.
Really happy with the new system in terms of administration (from my point of view) and more importantly the parents love it and actually use it day to day. That is the real measure of success.

Can I "big-up" Bromcom's "My Child At School". Our parents love it, they much prefer it to SLG!!!
Has anyone bought the extra parents evening booking module or the surveys from TASC?
"The best bit of feedback we got from the test users was the ease of logging in. They found it really easy to use the 5 digit upercase password that was changed on first login. "
Out of interest, and not specifically related to TASC, how do you normally distribute first-time passwords to users (either parental, student or staff) ? Do schools prefer to email in general, or face-to-face (such as at parents evenings) etc ?
Phillip Hamlyn
We also use the Active Directory link option for Students and set this as their home page, so they are greeted with there SIMS Data. If you go to BETT you will normally find the programmers there and you can actually chat with them! We much prefer it to SLG.
IWDave (7th April 2014)
We have provisioned 1,450 parents in this way with zero problems.
Its actually a really good question but one of the reasons the SLG failed for us was the complications of logging in for the first time (the password was too complicated and we had to send them a physical letter). Being able to email parents directly with a simple temporary password has made this system much more successful.
Zag (and anyone else that has moved from SLG to Insight) - wondered what the provisioning implications are when you don't have SLG anymore. We have 3000+ parents provisioned that now are in Sims as users. Presumably if SLG goes, does the ability to provision go too? And if so, do all the parents/students previously provisioned stay in Sims as users forever? (They do at present, even when unprovisioned eg parents of leavers).
The very fact that they are in Sims as users creates hassle for me. As an example - scheduled reports - when assigning to staff, all the provisioned parents/students appear as users BUT WITH NO ROLE TO FILTER THEM OUT. So Teacher John Smith looks exactly the same as the student John Smith and the Parent John Smith.
It's a case of Sims not keeping up with its own new developments.
I don't know the answer to that sorry.
We just dumped SLG one day by deleting the site on SharePoint and removing all the users from the Active Directory. Capita were absolutely useless when asking how to uninstall.
I contacted them multiple times and got ridiculous answers back from people who clearly had no clue what they were doing. A simple question of "how do I reverse the changes you made to our active directory" got a "that is not possible" answer. Left me fuming to be honest especially when the installer specifically told me there were undo scripts.
It made me even more determined to uninstall the thing and never use it again.
ADP is available as a separate product, so if you did want to keep that part of functionality you could, to keep students and if you wanted (but wouldn't need) parents to be created in AD.
As for removal, i guess you'd have to go in and make them inactive with sysman, there are lots of role options there to filter with.
Thank you both.
We will continue to use AD accounts just not through Sims.
As for users and roles - don't get me started. No one in our database seems to automatically move to the correct role when appropriate. We have 1750 on roll, and yet we have 2485 in the 'Student' roll group. None at all in the Ex-students. Oh, and exactly 900 parents (in reality more like 2500). I have never managed to find a way to clean this up, so I am looking forward to avoiding adding any new users in Sims!
This is all very interesting stuff. I'm trying to put together a proposal for our senior management comparing a few parental portal solutions (with a heavy lean towards TASC) but I'm still waiting on a costing quote from TASC! I sent it on 6th Feb and haven't heard a peep.
Delays like that worry me. Can anyone comment on their speed of response about general things like this? They were incredibly helpful and informative at BETT (surprise, surprise!)

john from punta gorda, FL– Verified Buyer
Once together it looks pretty good and it is not a difficult assembly. However, the manufacturer leaves burrs on all the aluminum tube support along the edges and the tapped holes. Not only do you have to be careful not to cut your hands up and get aluminum slivers, in one case I had a heck of a problem getting the stud to screw in because of the poor workmanship with the tapped hole. This is the problem with these products from overseas as they don't do the detailing well in the manufacturing process.
perfect at the arrival; easy to fix

One-Third of American Adults Own Tablet Computers
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 06-13-2013 - 1:51pm
Now, one-third of American adults own a tablet computer, according to a new report by Pew Internet.
Unlike smartphones, which are most popular with younger adults ages 18-34, we see the highest rates of tablet ownership among adults in their late thirties and early forties. In fact, almost half (49%) of adults ages 35-44 now own a tablet computer, significantly more than any other age group. Adults ages 65 and older, on the other hand, are less likely to own a tablet (18%) than younger age groups.
Do you own a tablet computer? We have two: my nook tablet (which is rooted so it works as an actual tablet) and my husband's Galaxy Tab 2.
|Mon, 06-17-2013 - 8:26am
They are so convenient and easy to use that I can see why so many have them. The screen is bigger than a smartphone (for anyone with vision issues) yet they are still as handy.
I don't have one yet but have been thinking about getting one.
|Tue, 06-18-2013 - 4:15pm
I think for the most part those adults are using their tablets for the same thing the kids are but a lot of them do their work on a laptop or desktop.
I hope they don't do away with the desktop for me using a laptop or tablet is uncomfortable I like my powerful desktop with the big monitor and a comfy chair. But then I am old.......lol

RALEIGH A bill tentatively approved Tuesday by the N.C. House could pressure city officials across the state to raise taxes or cut services, according to the director of the League of Municipalities.
His comments came after the House tentatively passed a far-ranging, 56-page tax bill. Among other things, it would replace the privilege license tax cities collect from businesses and cap it at $100.
Legislative staff estimates the change would cost North Carolina cities $25 million a year and Charlotte alone $8.5 million.
"You'll see cities go one of two ways: across-the-board service cuts or across-the-board tax increases," said Paul Meyer, executive director of the N.C. League of Municipalities.
Local governments may have dodged another financial bullet Tuesday.
A Senate bill on hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, contained a provision that would have capped the amount of tax revenues cities and counties receive at 8 percent over those of the previous year. Local government groups argued that would limit their ability to pay for bonds or keep up with growth. The measure was pulled from the bill for further study.
But changes to the business privilege license tax remain alive.
Statewide, 330 cities impose the tax. Charlotte caps its at $10,000 per business. The minimum is $50 per business location. It is generally tallied at 60 cents for each $1,000 of revenue a business generates.
One longtime critic of the tax is former Democratic Sen. – now Mayor – Dan Clodfelter. Clodfelter called the current tax "a crazy quilt," with individual cities levying it in different amounts with different criteria. That doesn't mean the mayor likes the current changes.
"If we repeal the tax we've got to replace the tax so we don't mess up local budgets," he said recently. "I think the tax is archaic and can't be administered fairly. (But) I've never proposed to eliminate it without providing a substitute."
Meyer calls the state's estimate that the changes would cost $25 million "the rosiest of all projections." That's because it assumes cities would tax all businesses in their jurisdictions, not just some. Take Raleigh, for example. The city is projected to lose $3.4 million under the proposed change.
Now it levies the privilege tax on 20,000 businesses. The state based its projection on the assumption it would find and tax an additional 28,000, according to Meyer of the municipal league.
Democratic Rep. Paul Luebke of Durham said the current tax may have its problems, but it was unfair to change it in a way that would hurt cities. Durham stands to lose $2.2 million.
"Durham should not have to take that kind of hit," he said during the House debate.
The bill passed 83-35, with 10 Democrats, including Rep. Tricia Cotham of Matthews, joining Republicans to pass it.
Republican Rep. Bill Brawley of Matthews said the loss of the tax would force cities to make priorities. He called the revenue loss "a manageable situation."
"It does not require the loss of a single firefighter, a single policeman, a single ambulance," he told colleagues.
Charlotte City Manager Ron Carlee is not recommending any property tax increase this year. The city's general fund budget for the upcoming year is expected to be about $580 million. The business privilege tax comprises about 3 percent of that amount.
Meyer was also watching the proposal to cap city and country tax revenues at 8 percent above the previous year.
"Whenever the legislature is in session, there's always friction between state and local governments," he said.

Mac Makeup 1.95d
Securely visit favorite web pages
Every time you connect to the Internet, your computer is exposed to malicious attacks. That means your computer's information and your personal data is on display for hackers.
There are a few ingredients necessary to protect yourself when you are online. Most of them are well-known - an antivirus system, an Internet security technology, a back-up and recovery system, and an IP changer.
Browse the web incognito
Another way to accomplish that is by using a MAC changer. Mac Makeup is a very small, free program that simply replaces your MAC address with a new one. In other words, it adds an extra level of security and provides network anonymity.
Have randomly generated details
The main window of the program is very simple, but extremely easy to use. First off, you need to select the network adapter for which you require a change of MAC. You can write down your own MAC address or generate a random one (completely random, random device ID, or random OID). You can also enable the creation of a log file that records all the changes performed to your MAC addresses.
Using little system resources
The application is simple and it works, except on some small, random occasions when it crashes and you have to restart it. The footprint on the RAM memory and CPU is almost invisible and should not pose any problems when trying to run it even on older machines.
A few last words
In conclusion, Mac Makeup is one of the simplest, most intuitive applications of its kind. In addition, it's completely portable, so you can run it from a removable drive without leaving traces in the Windows registry. Moreover, it offers enhanced protection due to randomization processes.

May Is For Miracles: Chico's FAS, Inc. Is Committed To Making A Difference In Children's Lives - One Miracle At A Time
NEW YORK, April 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Chico's FAS, Inc., and its family of brands – Chico's, White House Black Market, Soma Intimates, and Boston Proper – announce the launch of its third May is For Miracles campaign, a multi-faceted program to raise funds for the 170 Children's Miracle Network Hospitals® (CMN Hospitals) across North America. In 2012, Chico's FAS, Inc. raised over $1.3 million for CMN Hospitals, and this year, the Company hopes to increase its contribution.
Beginning April 18 th, Chico's will sell a limited-edition Miracle Bracelet and White House Black Market will sell a limited-edition Creating Miracles Bracelet. Both bracelets will be sold in boutiques, outlets and online for $20, with $10 from the sale of each bracelet benefiting local Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. Also, Soma Intimate's will donate 50% of the proceeds from their Sensualities Collection (up to $20,000) and Boston Proper will donate 10% of the proceeds from their Travel Collection (up to $15,000) to local Children's Miracle Network Hospitals through the month of May. This year, Chico's FAS, Inc. will also serve as the presenting sponsor of CMN Hospitals' Champions program.
In addition, to support May is For Miracles, customers can donate at any of the retailer's 1250+ boutiques nationwide, outlets and online, as well as through the unique online social marketing campaign, Send a Smile. The goal of Send a Smile is to raise funds and put a smile on the faces of thousands of children. In partnership with ePrize, the leader in engagement campaigns across mobile, social and websites, users can create their own card through a customized, mobile-enabled microsite and each brand's Facebook page. Participants can "share" the card creator experience via Facebook, Twitter, email, Google+ and Pinterest. The card will then be printed and delivered to a child being treated in the customer's local Children's Miracle Network Hospital. It's completely free to create a card and Chico's FAS, Inc. will donate $1 for every card created up to $50,000. www.chicos.com/sendasmile
Send A Smile was launched last year, with the hope that the experience will be as special for the sender, as it is for the child who is receiving the card."Chico's FAS and our customers believe in the importance of creating a better future for children in the communities in which our customers live," said David Dyer, President and Chief Executive Officer of Chico's FAS, Inc.

As the holy month of Ramzan comes to an end, Telly Actors gear up to celebrate their month long fast. This Eid, artists of the small screen, make sure they take out some time to celebrate with friends and family. The Telly Buzz team talks to Rakshanda Khan, Ali Asgar, Shagufta Ali, Faisal Raza Khan and Khayyaan Saab, who speak their heart out about the auspicious day.
A message to everyone on this festive occasion: The
month of Ramzan is very auspicious, and we need to go out of our way to be
good, and we need to make sure that we carry forward the same practice
rest of the time. I know its easier said than done, but then again, you
to start off by little steps at least.
Your plans for Eid this year:
Same as every year, I take half a day off. Go over to my relatives�
place, which I go every year, and then have a small fest with my
family, and then resume back to work. So this year too, I will be
shooting on Eid, and also enjoy my half day off.
A message to everyone on this festive occasion: I would like to wish everyone a very happy and prosperous Eid. I urge everyone to carry forward the resolutions that they have kept during the month of Ramzan. Everyone behaves the best during the holy month, but what matters is how are for the rest of the eleven months. Wishing everyone a very happy Eid and a prosperous life ahead, God Bless!
Plan for Eid this year:
My first and biggest plan is to enjoy a holiday. Once I get a day's
off, the day will be dedicated to family and my home. I will visit all
my relatives, who I rarely visit because of my tight schedule.
Family tradition on Eid : Wake up early and offer Namaz. This
is a day when I get to eat my favorite dishes, my mom is a great cook
and I love her food. Then we go to our grand mom's place for afternoon
lunch. I get to eat biryani, my grand mom is an even more better cook
than my mom. So Eid is a day when I feed on only calorie-rich food. On
this day, we get 'Eiddies' from elders, even though we are all
independent today, it is a nice feeling to get it from elders on this
Your message to fans on Eid :
Well, go ahead and have a blast, enjoy with your family. The most
important thing to do is to remember the reasons for which you have
followed the fasting for one month.
Any special preparations for Eid: Yes, I have shopped and
shopped, and bought many dresses. I am looking forward for a great day
on Eid. I will be going with my mom to Chandigarh, will celebrate Eid
there. So this Eid is going to be different for me, away from Mumbai
Family Tradition on Eid: We usually wake up early, offer
Namaz. We make all the best dishes on this day. We will have one big
feast. The most popular dish we make on that day is 'Sheer Kurma'. So I
am going to enjoy to the core..

*** Wits Sizzlin' Hot in August ***
WIT made simple
1) no hard * fast rules, we do "whatever it takes"
2) we have mini-challenges, not required, but participation encouraged (see our siggys at any given time)
3) for those in loss mode, our goal is losing weekly, doing "whatever it takes" & maintaining for those in maintenance
4) YOU tell US what you need to succeed & we provide it (encouragement, buttkicking, a true beating....) & vice versa
5) All welcome! Come on in!
It's very comparable to Calvinball. (in otherwords, anything goes because peskie says so & were not above making it up as we go along)
If somebody says it's "in the rules" and you can't find it here, don't be alarmed, some rules are hidden in the subsections. Just trust a WIT
Cuteness shall cover a multitude of sins. (good thing WIT's are cute)
WIT's are above getting sick unless it's required for getting out of bad things
Mini-challenges: lets make this easy-do what we tell you when we tell you
Yes..It is now required that people wave before leaving. Wendy is a lion--hear her be bossy.
Wendy'ism: Confusion about things that are not confusing, such as thinking of Massachusettes and Maryland as the SAME state while knowing that they're not.
awww = seaweeds
heehee stewskie = gerber streaker
subsection 11.6.208 dictates that if you wave, you must also talk. A wave by is unacceptable.
You must have 3 conversational posts after posting that you're leaving (bye #1, #2, #3 is not adequate) you are only exempt from this rule if you've posted at least 3 times with no response & at least 3 minutes since the last post, as evidence of an attempt not to leave and proof that everybody else left you, not vice versa.
sub section 3.28.1618 stewardship....friends of stews
foods you're not suppose to eat all have mold & maggots in it so leave it alone
black shoes are okay in summer as long as they sufficiently cute!
Wear sandals all summer and you'll be fine unless you have some cute open toed shoes and those will okay if I approve them first.
NOT patent leather, despite Wendys idea of a summer shoe
subsection to item 4 on the WIT rules for the smiley? That it can be used in any case of something approved of or to encourage, atta girl, OR even a real birthday when all other smileys have been exhausted, there is not an appropriate one or it is just otherwise deemed necessary or wanted
With time, women gain weight because we accumulate so much information and wisdom in our heads that when there is no more room, it distributes out to the rest of our bodies. So we aren't heavy, we are enormously cultured, educated & happy. Beginning today, when I look at my butt in the mirror I will think, Good grief....I'm so smart
we can agree to disagree!!!
Unless it's peskie, then you must agree. (in the rule book, ya know?)
peskie is allowed to talk in 3rd party talk.
If a snort escapes when trying to prevent laughing out loud, its called a snortlet.
Dont feel guilty for playing here while at work, as long as youre getting the job done.
Fluttering is wit wings cheering you on .
Halos dont work for Tammy-Ro
Its okay for peskie to steal smileys
page 9, par 1.fb
WIT's are solely responsible for requesting removal or addition to WIT mails at any given point
Page 12 para 4.12
"If you go away (unless it is a romantic getaway), you must find a hotel in advance with wireless connections and check in that way. If there is no hotel in the area with wireless, then you are going to a too remote location and that is not permitted".
page 25 para 1.4.4 on how to reset a circuit breaker....(insert running away smilie here)
Peskie add to the rule book under how to check a circut breaker....Getting rid of varmits 101....TIA .cholerics could graph his habit's and haunts for you, ask her...
Page 25 para 1.4.5 on how to change filter in AC. Also change once monthly during the summer season.
Chapter 2 para 1.1.2 Gains are water, losses are FAT!!! :
the rule book says unless you ask permission and there is not another WIT out you must check in at minimum daily Yes, it's in section II part A.
section 3, Part A, line 89 right after Gain = water Loss = fat
the only pounds that count as lost is the ones subtracted from starting weight and or siggy weight. So if I gain 3 and lose two I can;'t be claiming a 2 pound loss. I gotta claim a 1 pound gain. Making sure we are all on the same page. Losing pounds from a gain DO NOT COUNT. :trips and falls off soapbox::
I think no matter what type of program you're on, portion control has to be in there somewhere or you'll just keep losing the same lbs over and over. Ultimately we all have to learn that we don't NEED certain foods just because a particular program says we can have them. If they aren't good for us, we need to learn to live without them
rule 11.7.407 states stews is the boss of Wendy when it benefits peskie
You cant really be a WIT unless youre missing your sanity (peskie excluded, of course).
Wits arent normal
no no no, pictures don't lie EXCEPT when they make us look BIGGER than we are. there is no making us look smaller, nope nope. you are hot
Its okay to call Lisa doody
WITs are more important than work.
Section III.
Part A. 89. WITS always come first no matter what other obligation, appt, minor or major emergency you may have. Penalty for igorning this rule is major boot kicking from WIT on Boot-kicking duty. If said WIT in violation is offender then boot kicking will fall to volunteer WIT (s).
PM when you want to talk about someone!
Once a WIT always a WIT unless said WIT cuts ties voluntarily by publicly rejecting the WIT group. Then WIT status is revoked. And the recent amendment also adds that Peskie will get her scary spiky boots out, I will make the rounds in the WIT van and we will COME PERSONALLY TO YOUR DOOR to kick some sense back into you? So see you have no CHOICE in the matter. You're here to stay. That is all.
first duty of Pam and Landis is to check in with us when she gets to work? Okay, get the rule book out somebody.
I may have to SHUT the computer down so I don't keep comin' back to it every few minutes though while getting things done around here, These words are against WIT principles and a direct violation of rule 1.25.355
Section 7.9.607
the new "Catch" diet! You throw your food up in the air, and you eat everything you can catch before it hits the floor! but throwing the plate is a complete violation of the rules! You can only throw the food, but you must throw the entire meal at the same time! You burn more calories that way!
The 2nd Monday of each August is official make it up as you go along day....everybody is challenged to add one rule to the book during normal conversations.
Landis gets the award for most rules during first challenge
Pam attends next WIT adventure.
Shopping counts as approved method of aerobic activity.
(Looks in the WIT rule book feverishly). Um lemme see yep whining is allowed!!!!
Is it sewious enough for a pm or can I be publically punished?
Only if it is about Landis. Rule book page 30 Para 3.4.1
2 wit's aren't allowed to be out at the same time!!
a good 5 second rule should be applied before anyone quotes me...
True Wits always check in because it says so in the rule book. (email counts!!!!)
no stinking test. It's not in the rule book Tammy-Ro
If you dont check in while away, it will be awhile before you will get to go anywhere again
I have another new word to add to the rule book, please!
You know how sometimes a smile just has to turn into a giggle....I hereby deem that a "smiggle"!!!
I second the motion. :smiggle: I need a gavel....
89. WITS always come first no matter what other obligation, appointment, minor or major emergency you may have. Penalty for igorning this rule is major boot kicking from WIT on Boot-kicking duty. If said WIT in violation is offender then boot kicking will fall to volunteer WIT (s).
WITS have to come before Kimmer! Rule check please!
The scale is a tool, not a report card.
I sure am glad it's only a TOOL and does not rule my life! (This should be in the rulebook Peskie jus' sayin') The scales do NOT rule our lives
Yapping is encouraged...(Rule book addition please) sec 429
Again, we DO celebrate , clap for , high-five and sing victory songs for any WIT that succeeds no matter whether we can relate or not and we usually can relate anyway!!!
Landis is boss of self, and no one else. Except when RG and Peskie override simultaneously.
WITS feel better and have more energy when they exercise
I usually don't WANT the crap until I tell myself I can't have it and push myself to a time frame on hitting goal. Then I eat crap and binge and gain quickly. When I tell myself I CAN, I usually leave it alone. (unless it's a big craving and then it's actually worth it and I don't overeat it, but savor it and don't gain anyway
Odd work schedules need to be in the siggys, so we can keep up landis says so.
I suggested we change the word "cheat" to "carbed up" in the rule book. Seconded on 1/6/2006
don't regret the gain. Don't KICK ME!!
The important thing is fessing up, giving and getting support and not let a slip be the end all of my weight loss for the rest of my life. I'm probably gonna cheat again but not for a long time. Oh and another thing I am not saying cheat anymore. It is forever known from this minute forward as uping my Carb intake!!!! (Peskie could you add this to the rule book under gaining is water? Thanks.)
read the book. It will be very difficult to be successful on low carb without reading the book of your plan of choice.
Page 59 para 6.9
If you have a dream/passion you should go for it, it IS possible but only if you want it BAD!
Page 62 para 11.1.2
When landis does not want to eat something weird is going on (Peskie add to rule book)
We come before feeding the family. In the rule book, page 250.
once you get your SSP you let the person know who sent it that you got it and to email you too. Once everyone has their SSP we do a reveal. It's in the rule book already
Pam is the leader in our verbage.... She earns a crown for that.
Page 283 para 12.3.4
200 calories at 2 pm is NOT the way to lose weight
If you ate what you wanted and are not hungry that's one thing (200 calories or not--I do not take issue with calorie restrictions) but you're hungry so obviously you haven't eaten enough.
Des bah, bad mojo. I always said if I ever stalled I would kick up my cardio and/or switch things around depending on what I had been doing. Well that's what I've finally done. Added Easter per Tammy-Ro
Robin is who to go to when you want diet advice on ANY plan I am a tellin' you! She is da bomb! not ANY plan...just kimmers plans, atkins, CAD, Stillmans, fasting and some WW.......but atkins atkins atkins she knows backwards and forwards.......
South Beach, PP. Neanderthin, LFL, and the rest she dunno diddly squat.....
wipes sweat off brow as remembers addition of this to rule book quite sometime back
Don't beat yourself up. Once you know where it went wrong, you have the power not to repeat the same mistake again .Maria
Racing is for WITs. You don't have to actually know anything about it. Just yell Biffle or Cutie Butt now and then and pick a car you like that has pretty colors to root for
Peskie, addition to the rule book although it may already be in there. "No WIT is allowed to brag on something without giving at least the important details".
Reminder to landis
I can't wait to go to the gym again
Did I REALLY just say that? I'm terrible sick I just know it
You need to find out what works for YOUR body
Issue 5.21.285
any differences be kept between the parties with a difference and nobody else brought into it.
Peskie is allowed to talk to herself as much as she wants to.
Anything that let's peskie do something other than the normal activities, learn something new and get outside her little world is on the allowed list.
What's work interfered stuff? I thought that was against the rules (as Maria caught on quick and added this)
Rule 5.28.974
as long as u quote u are always on topic
Being to blame isn't always a bad thing. You have lots of entertainment value.
Break big goals into small tasks .a little at a time. It builds up to success!
New addition to WIT rule book: NAPS are always allowed and encouraged without prior planning or negative ramifications of any sort. Period.
True friendship doesn't give up
Page 5.25. para 1444
Always blame it on the peep that is not here! Put that in the rules please.
RG made sense once, but messed it up by saying that needed to be in the rule book. That makes no sense.
To lose one pound, in lieu of dieting, hit refresh button 6 million times
Those that don't learn history are doomed to repeat it
For maximum cute factor, lean forward, tongue in roof of mouth
if dh is home so I should be too (stews and all), regardless of how much time just taken off
page 2.19 par 2999 Once the avatar has been changed, I have to leave. new rule I just made up that only applies once. wcwendy
root beer is the new energy drink
addendum 123.5.62
negative posts must be offset with positivity
WIT's should participate in celebrating victories as much as supporting needs
WIT's have book addictions
WIT's rule, work 2nd
skipping meals can and often leads to binging later.
Positivity counts!
women gain a lot of times during the premenopausal times and post and how it's just sort of a "given" that it will happen. However, some women do NOT do it but keep their weight under control their whole lives though it is definitely more difficult. Why should I just accept that it's a part of life? I don't want to and WILL NOT accept this. Just like being on certain kinds of medicines can contribute to gaining. Some people do not gain in spite of that. No it may not be EASY but few things in life worth having are.
Indies and keeping up aren't required, but don't ask for recaps....others have to read twice that way
It's all about our choices....each decision leads to consequences, whether positive or negative and we have the power to control those choices, they just become more difficult in certain circumstances, not impossible
ADHD is contagious .tread lightly
Never EVER forget to title the WIT thread after Chewie when it's her birthday week. Consequences are banishment from the thread for a time period to be decided by current boss of thread unless it's Lucy and she is so ADD that it is excused.
The only consistent rule is that Calvinball may never be played with the same rules twice. Scoring is also arbitrary, with Hobbes reporting scores of "Q to 12" and "oogy to boogy
I brought DP's post from the other thread over.
I did good with my eating yesterday. did terrible for a few days before though. hopefully can hold it together now and be reasonable again.
no plans today other than a eye doc appointment this afternoon. Think I'm making ribs for dinner.
:jumpjoy: I am feeling better than I have in AGES!!! :clap:
I actually felt like doing laundry last night. Now I didn't LIKE it but I FELT like doing it. I am amazed. And thrilled!
How are you all doing?
My doctor wants me to lose 5 pounds because of borderline Blood pressure. Sure is harder losing 5 pounds than it used to be! I am about 158 right now. I would like to get down at least to 150 but really 145 if at all possible. I think I am going to do portion control. I do best with that I think.
Anyone else rockin' a plan?
Oh and went and visited the Rush fitness club yesterday. I have a 5 day pass. Gonna see how I like it. There is also another cheaper place closer even that I am going to try. It doesn't have the posh ameneties like an indoor pool, steam room etc. I like to have a "me day" sometimes and do those things. I could probably afford either but just not sure.
Morning. My mommy just left :cry: was hard because Kyle started bawling when she left. I hate that :(
Anyways..we had a great visit. I'm lucky we live closer now and we get to see them again in 2 weeks.
I've eaten like crud the last 3 days but I have been running at least so I should be ok. Going to be very good today because I didn't run and might not tomorrow either due to the weather.
Kyle starts school the 12th and I think I'm going to start spin classes again at least once a week. We have a nice gym and I can go when I want and it has a daycare in it for Stella. I have 10 pounds to go and I want it gone now!!
I have been eating crud too DP especially the last week. My new medicine seems to increase my appetite a LOT. I hope that side effect diminishes. Sorry your Mom is gone but 2 weeks will be here before you know it! :jumpjoy:
Anxious to work out this afternoon after work to see how I like that gym!
...wait...Kyle starts school??? :shock:
I hope you like it!!
Yes he starts pre-k!! He turns 4 October 12th and the cutoff here is September 30th. We found a private school that will allow him to start now and if he's ready begin kindergarten next year. If he isn't ready he will do preschool one more year. We think he's ready. :)
It's an awesome school and we are glad to be able to send him.
Took the kids to the park this morning and had a picnic. We are going to the farmers market in a bit and then out to dinner. It's my last meal out. I have 9 pounds to lose, I just need to buckle down.
no sunshine here today. Its warm enough. not hot but kind of muggy. a little drizzly rain, I think. I got my sourdough starter out and am waking it up. I forgot about it. I want to make some bread sometime soon, I think. also made dh some peanut butter cookies. I was going to do snickerdoodles but I don't have enough flour and didn't want to go to the store today. I ended up just making almost flourless peanut butter ones. not my favorite recipe but they are good and gave him a treat. I did have one though.
mostly fruit/veggies other than that so far today. dinner will probably be leftover ribs from last night.
Morning. Sitting with my coffee after my 8 mile run. Dh and Stella are still sleeping and Kyle just woke up. Rainy yucky day here so I think we will go grocery shopping and just hang out.
nice run, DP!
I'm sitting here with my coffee doing nothing :p . later today we are going to a fair at a neighboring county and tonight is the blue oyster cult concert there. I can't tell what the weather is going to do. looks like it will be nicer than yesterday, though.
this is dh's last day of vacation. he goes back to work tomorrow. but dd24 will be home in a couple days! yeah!
I had a great weekend! We went to see Red 2 yesterday with some good friends and ate Thai/Chinese food at a cute little restaurant. My elbow is hurting a little from the workouts. I iced it last nice but meant to again and forgot :p If it is not better tomorrow night I am going to just do cardio and wait until it is 100% better to do the weights again. Might do lower body weights. I am going to join the gym tomorrow night. I think I'll do a year. SO wish I could afford a personal trainer. I am pretty disciplined and know what weights to do but it sure was nice to have someone to cheer me on through the workout! Anyway, she worked me out a routine so I'll do that for a while.
I think when Kyle starts school I'm going to start at the gym too. Ill have all morning and the gym has a nursery for Stella.
Speaking of..she's 7 months today!! How'd that happen!?!?
Wow that's hard to believe too DP!!! I have missed a gym. Plus I feel SO much better, like actually GOING to it :) I wish they had a doggy nursery :laugh:
I'm going to get back to working out TODAY! not putting it off any longer. I have 1 month before school starts and I can be in a good routine for that month and going into the school year. I'm going to do cardio this morning.
dd24 and her boyfriend are coming to the area today and will be around for the week! not sure when they go back, I assume Sunday. also don't know exactly what days they are here and what days they are at his parents but they will be around more than 2 days so I know we'll get some time with them this time!
how is everyone? I've had a good day. and its SUNNY! yeah! I did get my exercise in. did 3.25 mile walk on the treadmill then got cleaned up and got some things picked up around the house. found my kitchen table under the clutter *blush*, got some laundry done, cleaned the bathtub (dh gave dogs a bath yesterday and I don't know if he cleaned the tub after or not. he might of but I did it, just in case). also got dishes put away and the few others from the sink loaded. back is sore today, though. booooo
the rest the day been hanging out with dd22 who showed up here. She has been looking at house stuff on line. she REALLY wants to buy a small house but is not in the position to right now. she is looking at what she needs to work on in order to get herself in that position.
dd24 and her boyfriend will be here later. I think we are all going out for a late meal after dh gets home unless he has to work late. this would be the night that we normally go for pancakes so hopefully he won't have to work over and it will work out. I really wanted to find a time we could all go while she is home and dd22 doesn't work today so it would be a good night to do it.
eating has been good so far.
*protein shake
*cucumber, carrots, celery
*cheese (cheddar and smoked gouda)
*salad (lettuce, shredded cheese, asian flavored olive oil/balsalmic
*1 pkg single serving ritz crackers
*skinny iced caramel macchiato, grapes
see? not too bad. don't know what I'll have when we go out but at least I've made mostly good choices the rest the day.
Hey all!! I thought I posted on this thread the other day. Or at least saved it to my subscribed threads. But apparently I didn't. I think I'm losing my mind.
Back up to 163. Really having trouble breaking through and staying in the 150's. Need to focus and set my mind to do this.
Off to work soon! Hope everyone is doing well!!
you can do it, Lenise. nice to see you.
:hiya: back from the support group. I did something wild today! I came home from lunch and called back in and said I wasn't coming back and taking the afternoon off. The wild part was it was for no particular reason. I just didn't want to go back. Wild and crazy huh? :jumpjoy:
Ok so maybe wild isn't the word. Hee hee anyway did nothing all afternoon except go see Buddy when he got home and then going to the group meeting.
Tomorrow going to do cardio and strength training at the gym at the gym and probably go ahead and sign up :cool:
well, look at you you wild and crazy girl!
dd24 and her boyfriend are ON their way. be here within 1/2 hour. dh is home from work and dd22 is sitting here making use of our internet. we are going out for a late dinner. yeah! I was so hoping I could make something work while they are home this week that all the schedules would fit. I did invite my Dad and L but I don't know if they will make it. they are doing things at home to get ready to leave tomorrow for a few days. at least I invited :p .
I'd say it's a late dinner! It's almost 11:00!!!:D
haha! funny! want to join us? :p after all you are a crazy wild girl!
Oh no. I can't be out this late :p
Been busy here but come Monday I'm going to be bored when Kyle is at school!! And he is in swim lessons now and they end Thursday. Whatever am I going to do?! I need to get kids here ASAP. Still looking but no luck :mad:
Ran this morning. And weighed and NEW LOW :jumpjoy: I'm the smallest I've been in about a year and a half. I do need go get to weight training because I have NO muscle tone. I want to sign at the gym but the money :sad: I'm going to check it out next week I think
Also with my elbow being so bad for so long I haven't been able to do upper body weights in forever. Looking forward to adding those. I REALLY need a personal trainer to help me do it right so I won't hurt it but I just can't afford it right now. :cry:
OTOH, It is GREAT to be back at the gym again!:jumpjoy:
Started my morning with coffee and a protein shake made with almond and some coffee, of course. We had a really nice time visiting last night. Got home about 11 I think. Was so nice to just site and enjoy time with my family. Will see them again today or tomorrow probably. my back is much better this morning. I should have walked or something but when I was so sore yesterday had thought should rest it 1 day. Hmmmm, maybe will go for a short walk still but it won't be long because its getting hot out.
Good for you Stews. I am having a bad day.
My day is still early, lol. Turn your bad day around, silly. :p
