Re: Post Your Successes!
This damn script I was working on yesterday...
I had to revise it to pull in some additional data, but that change degraded performance to the point where it was looking like at least a 30 min execute time.
Banged my head against the wall trying to tune the damn thing for the better part of yesterday. Came into the office with a clear head today, factored out some things, indexed some things, the bastard now runs at <20 sec.
I still can't figure out why SQL Server was shitting the bed so hard with the inclusion of 1 data set in the script, but once I factored it out the optimizer was able to do its job.

Re: Post Your Successes!
Finally saw a reason to post a personal success here since Oct 21, 2011
After 5+ years on various toons I finally saw Bindings of the Windseeker drop

Guess there might be a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow after all...

Re: Post Your Successes!
Did they remove Lei Shen's decapitate from LFR? Probably my DBM was glitching but I solo tanked him today and never got shouted at by a warning. My health did dip at one point that would be consistent with a decapitate but otherwise, I never felt anything like one.
I also did not see the Beast of Nightmares on Twin Consorts on the same run.
It was very smooth - one shotting both bosses - but seemed either nerfed or glitched.

Decapitate is still there for LFR, just it doesnt oneshot it harly does 200k damage, so you barely notice it.
The beast is also still there in LFR.

And given how lag-inducing that fight is, it needed a good nerfing for LFR. It's the worst fight I've ever seen for reducing WoW to a 1fps slideshow..

Re: Post Your Successes!
I have now lost 42 pounds.
I also, have absolutely zero clothes that fit right. I don't even have any clothes that are too tight to wear. This is easily the least I've weighed in 6+ years, I'm probably closing in on what I weighed when I got married. Though I'm not sure, becuase My Wedding Ring (A titanium Band) is all but falling off my finger now.

Keep it off now.
As for my recent success, finally acquired my tyrannical 2h weap. Arenas were significantly easier last night.

Closing in on being "done" with LFR on both the hunter and spriest... Spriest only needs a belt, and has 5-pc. Hunter needs one of the trinkets from the first wing. (It would be nice to get the MH/OH from Lei Shen for the priest, but I have one of the staffs already, so I'm not gonna sweat it if it doesn't drop. Hunter could use one more tier piece from ToT LFR, but, has 502+ in all slots other than that trinket, so not gonna sweat that one either if it doesn't happen).
Soon will be able to spend all my LFR time for my lock.
Also... my casual guild (25-man, 3 hours one night a week) is now 16/16 Tier 14. We are going to clear ToES one more time next week to get some folks some gear, and then we'll start pounding on ToT.

Re: Post Your Successes!
That's pretty badass. Sadly, LFR and Nalak still hate my guts, so I'm still stuck doing LFRs for the foreseeable future. Although the only thing I'm missing from ToT4 on Fluttershy is the trinket.

Thanks.
Nalak still hasn't given my squat, but the ToT LFR finally relented these past two weeks, after 3 terrible weeks. Still have some LFRs to do on the hunter this week, and one token left, so hoping can get that other tier item.
Not sure which toon I'm bringing to ToT, but gonna start saving all my Mogu runes for ToT on that toon.

Oh, I'm not done. I figure I still have at least 60 to go before I'm done. 60 pounds would put be at 191. That's a little heavier than I was shortly after graduating, but I figure if I get down to 191, from there, I'll be adding muscle, and toning myself, so the weight loss will be less pronounced at that point.
This is definitely the season where I'm going to lose the most. I'm coaching one baseball team, running to games for my oldest's High School Team, and going to my daughter's practices twice a week, and then games when they start, as well as this being our busiest season at work.
This morning I had to manhandle ~250 pounds worth of transaxles (about 50 each) to get them plugged, taped, wrapped, into boxes, and out on the dock for UPS, and I've still got the rest of the small orders that I have to get ready. I'm definitely getting plenty of exercise right now, and enjoying eating healthier versions of things I like to eat.
For Lunch, I had homemade BBQ Shredded Chicken Sandwiches on Whole Wheat Buns. 2 sandwiches set me back ~600 calories. I feel pretty good about that, since I have a coaches meeting and practice tonight, so I know that Dinner will probably be a homemade veggie Pizza, for about 400 calories (but oh my god so tasty).
The only thing that I find myself frustrated with right now is drinking. I pretty much only drink water, and a small(er) amount of DT. MT. Dew now, since the calorie intake on most other drinks just make me look at it and say ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I might have a glass of Milk every once in a while, but I just can't seem to bring myself to drink much else, as I feel like it's wasted calories. Though, I do enjoy Minute Maid Lite Lemonade from time to time, and Diet V-8 Fusion.
Maybe after Baseball Season I'll try finding healthy drinks that I can drink, and not feel like I'm wasting Calories.

If you can't go without the fizzies from soda, I'd recommend just grabbing a lime flavored seltzer (I drink La Croix) and squeezing a quarter wedge of lime into it.
Super low cal, but still satisfies my need for bubbles when I'm eating lunch. It's a negligible amount of calories from the fruit sugar, but nothing you won't burn off by simply breathing.

For me, it's about the taste really. Don't get me wrong, there are days that I work hard enough that cold water hits the spot. But there are other times, I just want to drink something with some flavor, and the more I do to stay healthy, the less Diet Dew I'm consuming in general.
I'll try that Idea, Maybe it'll hit the spot. Thanks for the tip.

If it's just flavor you're after, try those Mio water enhancers. I was never able to meet my water goals before I got them. Now it's easy.

Ah yeah I get that sho. I don't have a huge sweet tooth so for me, a soda is more for the texture than the taste.
Don't get me wrong though, I can't just sip a club soda with nothing in it.
