2013 is on the horizon, and most of us are scrambling to make up a few New Year's resolutions that, frankly, we'll probably forget about in February. Here's how to create a resolution that actually sticks so you can better yourself this year.
10. Focus on One Resolution
One of the first mistakes people make is planning too many resolutions. The fewer things your brain has to deal with, the better, and you'll be able to focus all your motivation on one resolution, increasing the chances you'll succeed. Need ideas? Check out our top 10 easy-to-keep resolutions, or go for one of the five most popular resolutions and follow our guide to ensuring its success.
9. Get Someone to Hold You Accountable
Having an "accountability buddy" is an old, yet tried-and-true tip for sticking to your resolutions. Tell your goals to a few close family and friends who will be honest with you and keep you on the right track. Heck, if you're having trouble thinking of a good resolution, those buddies can actually help you pick one, too (since they know you best, faults and all). Don't go too overboard, though. Remember, sometimes sharing with too many people can hinder your accomplishments. Photo by Lululemon Athletica.
8. Set Ultra-Specific Goals
New Year's resolutions are often big and general, making them hard to attain. The more specific you can be, the easier it will be to reach that goal. "Lose weight" or "get in shape" is a bad resolution; "Lose 15 pounds by March" is a good one. Setting multiple specific goals throughout the year is good, too. That way, you always have something attainable to focus on that doesn't seem far off. Photo by Rob Ellis.
7. Piggyback Your Resolution with Existing Habits
If your resolution involves building small habits—like, say, flossing every day or taking daily vitamins—you can "piggyback" these habits with other, already-established ones. Stick your dental floss in your shower and floss during your shower, or put your vitamin jar inside your kitchen cupboard so you always remember to take them when you eat breakfast. The easier you can form the habit, the more likely it is to stick.
6. Give Yourself a Trial Run
Not every resolution is perfect out of the gate, so don't hold yourself to a poorly-formed goal if it just won't work. Give yourself a 30-day trial run to work out the kinks, where you can let yourself stumble a bit and tweak your goals to something better suited for success. Keep in mind that not all habits are formed in 21 days, as conventional wisdom says, so even after the trial run, give yourself time to sink into the habit before you start admitting defeat.

5. Trick Your Mind
Resolutions are hard to keep without a sense of accomplishment. Having specific, gradual goals can help, but another trick is to play some mind games with yourself. The placebo effect can be pretty useful in keeping you motivated, even if you know you're using it on yourself. Focus on anything that makes you feel like you're succeeding. If you're trying to lose weight, eating from smaller plates will make you "feel" fuller, even if you're eating the same amount of food, for example. Do whatever you need to do to trick your mind and you'll be well on your way to success. Photo by mattza.
4. Visualize the End Result
As writer Rod Ebrahimi says, "focus on the carrot, not the stick". If you're having trouble staying motivated, focus on what you'll get from your end goal—whether that's feeling better at a lower weight, being able to impress your friends with your new guitar skills, or just being able to breathe now that you've quit smoking. Staying positive seems like common sense, but it can be hard when you're in the middle of a big plateau. Photo by Davidd.
3. Closely Measure Your Progress
If you've created specific goals, then getting positive reinforcement should be easy. Every time your each one of those goals—even if it's just a daily goal—mark it off on a checklist or calendar. You can even go a step further and use Seinfeld's "Don't Break the Chain" method of goal-setting, which is great for daily goals like "write every day" or "exercise 5 times a week." For other resolutions, try out one of our five favorite goal-tracking services to measure your progress.
2. Remind Yourself of Your Goals Every Day
If you're having trouble keeping your goals at the forefront of your mind, you can use one of any number of tricks to constantly remind yourself (besides tracking your progress). Set an alarm on your phone with a message of why you're doing this, record yourself on a webcam every day, or use dry erase markers to write your goals on your bathroom mirror.
1. Start Right Now
Why wait until New Year's Day? Whether you're reading this at the end of December or in the middle of July, start right now—even with small changes to prepare you for the big push—and you'll be one step closer to achieving your goals. There's no reason your goals need to start on January 1st, so call up those accountability buddies, jot down your milestones, and get started with that resolution right now. Photo by Ambernectar 13.

I`m more of a Console gamer myself. I feel that I don`t want to waste my time with the graphic cards and the software downloads and ALL the money involved. I just want to play the game, thank you. However, console gaming has become a little ridiculous. Back in my day, there weren`t EIGHT YEARS of meaningless sequals to "Call of douche-baggage," there were new ideas, new game mechanics.

IDEAL FOR QUICK CLEANING & lightweight!
By Laura
from MI
About Me Meticulous Cleaner
Comments about Bissell FeatherWeight Vacuum:
Every home should have one. Great for quick cleaning when last minute guests are coming over. No hassle to use. Feather-light with great suction. I've paid 3x as much for less durable small vacuums with less suction - always had to return. This is great if you have arm, neck, hand and shoulder restrictions. No strain or pain to use. You can't beat the price! MUST HAVE.

"And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love." 1 Corinthians 13:13. Love is the greatest! In the same chapter as the verse, it explains that if we do anything without love it means absolutely nothing. Jesus said the greatest commandment is to love the Lord with everything we are and have, then to love others like ourselves. If we fall completely in love with Jesus our Lord, having: hope, faith, and love is possible!

Slowey seeks more efficient night at Citi Field
Veteran, who will oppose Mejia, was part of 20-inning game last June
When Kevin Slowey last took the mound at Citi Field, he found himself in the game that seemingly would never end.
It was June 8, 2013, and the Marlins and Mets engaged in a marathon that lasted 20 innings and eclipsed six hours and 25 minutes.
The Marlins ended up prevailing, 2-1. Jose Fernandez went six innings for Miami, and Matt Harvey threw seven innings. But the bullpens decided it. And Slowey emerged as the winning pitcher, logging seven innings while striking out eight.
"I remember there weren't a whole lot of clean innings, on either side," Slowey said. "There were a lot of opportunities, a lot of chances. I remember coming up to bat in the 14th and the 17th. There were a lot of times being up there. It was a new experience. It's the longest game I've ever been a part of. It was one of longest games I'd ever seen."
On Saturday, the Marlins and Mets will be hoping for a much crisper, shorter contest.
Slowey will get the start, appearing at Citi Field for the first time since the 20-inning affair.
New York is going with Jenrry Mejia, who was in the Minor Leagues at the time of the marathon game.
The Mets claimed this weekend's series opener with a 4-3 walk-off win over Miami in the ninth inning.
Mejia heads into Saturday on a roll. The 24-year-old is 3-1 with a 1.99 ERA, striking out 25 in 22 2/3 innings. In his last outing, Mejia threw 6 2/3 innings, giving up no earned runs in a win over the Cardinals.
From the start, Mejia was superb, striking out five over his first three innings. Showing no ill effects from the blister that forced him out of his previous outing after only 77 pitches, he buzzed his way through six innings without much issue.
"It bothered me a little bit, but last year I felt pain in here," Mejia said after the game.
Mejia has dealt with enough medical issues, like right elbow cleanup surgery, that he acted like a blister was a minor ailment.
Slowey, meanwhile, has not been involved in a decision in five games (one start).
The veteran right-hander opened the season as a long reliever, but he is getting his second start in place of Jacob Turner, who is on the disabled list with a right shoulder sprain.
"I'll go out there for as long as they want to keep me out there," Slowey said.
Mets: Softening schedule still presents challenges
Though the Marlins entered this weekend's series at Citi Field in last place in the NL East, the second-place Mets -- sitting just two games above them in the standings -- were not about to overlook their division rivals. In particular, New York's pitchers' meeting Friday focused on the top third of Miami's lineup: Christian Yelich, Marcell Ozuna and Giancarlo Stanton.
"They're all very, very good players," manager Terry Collins said. "Those top three guys -- Yelich, Ozuna and Stanton -- are three of the real top talented young players in the game. They're very tough. They're swinging the bats good, obviously. You've got to keep people off the bases, because if Giancarlo gets something he can handle, he can put multiple runs up there in a hurry."
Still, the Mets are thrilled to be done with one of the toughest stretches of their entire season. Their previous six games had come against the defending NL champion Cardinals and NL East champion Braves, on the heels of a nine-game road trip through Atlanta, Los Angeles and Arizona. After this weekend's series, the Mets embark on a 10-game road swing through Philadelphia, Colorado and Miami -- playing third- through fifth-place teams in each stop.
Marlins: Finding late-inning relief help
The Marlins' bullpen has certainly struggled in the late innings, and the club is looking for someone to step up. Lefty Mike Dunn and right-hander A.J. Ramos have handled the bulk of the eighth-inning load.
The hope is Carlos Marmol, the most experienced of the group, will emerge to take charge of the inning. Marmol, however, is overcoming a tight right hamstring that he suffered on Wednesday in Atlanta.
Marmol is cleared to return, but chances are he will sit out a couple of more games, especially if the weather is chilly in New York.
Dunn has had a rough go.
"I think it's been some pitching behind in counts and making some mistakes up in the zone as well," manager Mike Redmond said. "I think with pitchers, it's always centered around the same things. It's getting behind hitters and making mistakes up in the zone. It's the same for everyone. When they're going, they're consistently down in the zone and ahead. It's consistently strike one, strike two."
Worth noting
• Yelich had his personal-best 17-game hitting streak come to an end after going 0-for-4 with a walk on Friday night. The Miami left fielder batted .366 (26-for-71) during the stretch that began on April 3.
• In the loss, Steve Cishek had his Marlins record streak of 33 consecutive saves also come to an end. The closer last was unable to convert a save chance on June 4, 2003, at Philadelphia.
• The Mets have rallied for nine of their 13 wins, including two when trailing after eight innings.
• Over their last 11 games, Mets pitchers have a 1.81 ERA (14 earned runs in 69 2/3 innings).

Hello people,
I am I having some issues with using the download-cache on a machine without internet....
What I did was install phoronix v3.6.1 on my Ubuntu 12.04 machine. Then I downloaded some tests, and I filled the download-cache using the "make-download-cache" command. Then I installed phoronix v4.4.1 on a virtual machine with Ubuntu 12.04 I copied the cache over, disconnected it of the internet by taking down the ethernet interface and installed the same tests. It took it from the download-cache directory no problem. So far so good!
Then I installed phoronix v4.4.1 on an OpenSUSE v11.3 machine which has a network connection but no internet. The installation went fine and I repeated the same trick as above. For some reason on this machine it will not look at the download-cache directory. I have checked permissions, I have tried to specify an alternative local cache directory (and of course copied the cache files to it). It will not work. The program itself seems to be working fine.
I wonder if this is because it does not like using cache from other distributions? Probably a different machine architecture?
Thx in advance
(EDIT: removed a typo in a version number)
Last edited by jaccoruns; 05-15-2013 at 10:14 AM.
To ensure it is not a cross-distribution issue with the download-cache I have just installed OpenSUSE 11.3 in a virtual machine. Installed my tests, created the download-cache and copied it over to my OpenSUSE 11.3 machine with no internet. It is still not looking at the cache dir...
However I noticed there were a lot of missing dependencies on my internet connected OpenSUSE machine. It seems that it does not warn about missing dependencies when there is not internet connection?
Thanks for your reply... As per my latest post I suspect it has to do with missing dependencies. It is definately missing some packages that my internet connected OpenSUSE machine was complaining about... I have to mention that my target machine (the one without internet) is heavilly customized (not by me unfort.).
Will keep u posted
I have managed to connect the machine with problems to the internet and then it tells me to install missing dependencies.
Without connection:
With connection:Code:mach01:/tmp/phoronix/script custom suite/local # phoronix-test-suite install pd-benchmark /usr/bin/phoronix-test-suite: line 29: [: too many arguments To run the Phoronix Test Suite locally you must first change directories to phoronix-test-suite/ or install the program using the install-sh script. For support visit: http://www.phoronix-test-suite.com/
As you can see it does not tell me about missing packages without internet connection. My next step is to download these packages manually, install them on a machine without internet connection and repeat the exercize.....Code:mach01:/tmp # phoronix-test-suite install pd-benchmark The following dependencies are needed and will be installed: - zlib-devel - libSDL-devel - libSDL_image-devel - libSDL_gfx-devel - libSDL_net-devel - libSDL_ttf-devel This process may take several minutes. Please enter your root password below:
Keep u posted.
1) I have taken a new internet-less (customized) OpenSUSE 11.3 machine.
2) Installed all RPM packages that the other machine asked for when connnected to the internet. I had manually downloaded each rpm package. I have to mention I had to ignore some warnings of broken dependencies... Doing so all packages installed fine
3) Installed phoronix,
4) copied the download-cache
5) installed my custom benchmark
6) Again when I try to install a suite or a test it gives me an error message:
7) Then I connect it to the internetCode:# phoronix-test-suite install himeno [NOTICE] No Network Connectivity [ERROR] Network support is needed to obtain pts/himeno-1.1.0 data. ERROR: Invalid Argument: himeno
8) Install a suite or a test:
9) The problem persists, it is not complaining about missing dependencies so it looks like it was happy with step 2. I suspect something else is going on. It could very well be due to these machines being customized so much.Code:# phoronix-test-suite install himeno Phoronix Test Suite v4.4.1 Installed: pts/himeno-1.1.0
I don't have time to digg further into this problem. I will continue to connect each machine to the internet to download the required tests so I can run my benchmarks. If I do have more info on this issue I will follow up.

About the French Revolution Series
"Sex and politics made a lethal mixture for Marie and her courtly crowd, which explains the French Revolution which wound down in a violent epidemic of sudden hair loss, of which Marie Antoinette had the biggest hair in France, purchased wholesale from the hunchback in the bell tower of Notre Dame Cathedral. The mob - les citoyens - imprisoned victims, then herded them into overcrowded tumbrels for their rendezvous with the guillotine. Marie pleaded for mercy ('If not for me, for my magnificent breasts'), but in vain.
This is an alternate take on the French Revolution (July 1789–1792) comparing the French nobility, most notably Marie Antoinette, to the left-wing masses on the streets who brought about the revolution."
This is a mix of traditional (pencil and paint) and digital (Illustrator and Photoshop) and the image source used as reference is from the 1989 issue of Playboy, from the pictorial entitled " Off With Their Clothes".
Fantastic and outstanding work .. this is magnificent and wonderful.

Ventura, Scherzer to square off in division contest
Just a half-game separates Tigers, Royals in competitive AL Central
The Royals got their first victory in six tries against the Tigers with an 11-8 win on Monday night at Comerica Park. And it couldn't have come at a better time, moving Kansas City to within a half-game of the American League Central division leaders.
The Royals are scheduled to give the ball to rookie right-hander Yordano Ventura as they look to take sole possession of first place in the Central on Tuesday. Ventura is coming off what Kansas City manager Ned Yost called one of his best outings in terms of command in a 4-1 victory over Cleveland last Wednesday.
The 23-year-old tossed seven innings, allowing one run on six hits, walking none and striking out three. It was Ventura's fourth start in which he went at least six innings and did not walk a batter, tying him with the Yankees' Masahiro Tanaka as the only two rookie pitchers to have accomplished that feat so far in 2014.
"[Ventura] just really was putting it exactly where he wanted it," Yost said, "a power fastball, and mixed in a really good changeup and an occasional good curveball."
For the Royals to displace the Tigers atop the AL Central, they'll have to go through Detroit ace Max Scherzer, who earned his first career complete-game victory with a three-hit shutout of the White Sox in Chicago last Thursday. In 18 career starts against the Royals, Scherzer is 9-4 with a 3.19 ERA.
Despite how tight the division race is with the Royals nipping at the Tigers' heels, outfielder Torii Hunter -- who had to leave Monday's game due to a right hamstring cramp in the fourth -- doesn't see this series, in particular, as all-important.
"It's too early to say it's the biggest game of the year," Hunter said before the series opener. "The biggest games of the year will always be in August and September."
Royals: Stirring up double trouble
The Royals and the Tigers are two teams that can double the trouble.
Detroit has 141 doubles, leading the AL with Kansas City right behind with 136.
The Royals have three players ranked in the league's top 10 for doubles: Eric Hosmer has 21 and Alcides Escobar and Alex Gordon have 20 each. Detroit's Miguel Cabrera leads the league with 23 doubles and Ian Kinsler is also among the league leaders, tied with Hosmer with 21.
Even pitchers on both clubs have contributed doubles during Interleague Play. James Shields has one for the Royals and Anibal Sanchez has one for the Tigers.
Tigers: Hunter leaves game with hamstring cramp
Hunter had to leave Monday's series opener in the fourth inning after reaching first on a bloop single. He sustained a right hamstring cramp and is listed as day to day.
Hunter grabbed his right hamstring while running to first on the single and was replaced by pinch-runner J.D. Martinez, who also took over in right field for Hunter.
Hunter is batting .266 with 13 doubles, nine home runs and 35 RBIs so far this season.
Martinez took advantage of the playing time, launching a grand slam in the ninth inning of Monday's loss.
Worth noting
• Lucky number: When scoring four runs or more this season, the Royals have a 31-4 record.
• Gordon is 12-for-31 (.387) in his career against Scherzer, with three doubles, two homers and three RBIs. Salvador Perez has also had success against the right-hander, batting .381 (8-for-21) with two doubles, two homers and four RBIs against him.
• Lorenzo Cain, Mike Moustakas and Hosmer have all struggled against Scherzer. Cain is 0-for-12 in his career, Moustakas is 3-for-26 (.115) and Hosmer is 6-for-28 (.214).

Rated 4 out of 5�by P.R. Nice Bat
My son loved this bat and used it in our first wood bat tournament. After tons of BP and game use, this bat has held up very well. The only improvement I would make to this bat would be to increase the size of the barrel while maintaining the weight.

This bat broke in the first at bat. This was a youth pitching to a youth in an 11 year old practice. I would never buy this bat again.

Rated 5 out of 5�by Mannee5 Great Training Bat
I bought this bat for my 12 year old son for batting practice. He loves the feel and it gives a quick response to a correct swing. It?s also hevier than his game bat so his swing has gotten faster.

Rated 1 out of 5�by Mom Very Disappointed in Bat and Dicks
My son participated in a wooden bat tourney and enjoyed using a wood bat. After reading the reviews we purchased this bat. What a disappointment. After only one hit the handle cracked. Of course because there is no warranty they wouldn't stand behind their bat. I don't feel this is a warranty issue. Shouldn't a 13 year old boy get more than 1 hit out of a bat? This is definately a defect NOT a warranty issue. I'll sure think twice before purchasing from Dicks again.

Rated 4 out of 5�by Arnie Solid
My son is kind of old school. He wanted a wooden bat for his 11th birthday and saw this one while we were at Dicks (Grafton,WI)It was a perfect dive and weight for him as he is a little on the small side. We took it to the cage and built his confidence and he got his first hit last week. It's a good looking bat but marks easy. I would strongly recommend one of the Adiddas shock absorbing grips as it has substantial reverb.Overall very happy with the purchase-

Phoronix: Fedora 13 Beta Is Set To Sail
Besides the Fedora 13 Graphics Testing Week taking place over the next few days, this week is also significant within the Fedora community as it will mark the release of Fedora 13 Beta. There's just one month left to go until Fedora 13 (codenamed Goddard) will be officially released, but over the past few hours we have been testing out what will become the official Fedora 13 Beta spin this morning. Fedora 13 is quite exciting and worth checking out.
It should work fine but please file a bug report if you run into any such issues. It would be considered a blocker for the general release.
yoshi314: indeed: please test the Beta, and if you hit such a bug, please file it and set it as blocking 'F13Blocker' so we will catch it in the blocker review process.
Quick note to the author: 3D support on NVIDIA isn't actually enabled by default in F13, in case it causes too many problems. You still need to install the mesa-dri-drivers-experimental package to turn the NVIDIA 3D support on.

There's an easy way to upload photos to Picasa Web Albums if you don't want to install Picasa: send your photos by email to a secret address.
First you need visit the Settings page and check "Allow me to upload photos by email." The secret email address where you can send your photos has the following format: firstname.lastname@example.com, where secretkey needs to be defined in the settings.
By default, Picasa Web uploads your photos to the built-in Drop Box albums, but it's a good idea to choose your destination by entering the name of an existing album in the subject of your email.
Make sure you don't share the secret email address with other people, like I did in the screenshot above. And if you do, just choose a different secret key for your address.
You can attach up to 20MB of photos in JPG, GIF and PNG formats, which is a pretty reasonable limitation. Since Picasa Web's mobile site still doesn't support uploading photos, the new option should be really useful when you want to share photos from a phone with email or MMS capabilities.

Environmental Protection Bureau
A.G. Schneiderman Celebrates Earth Week And Highlights Environmental Accomplishments In 2015
Enforcing a zero tolerance policy against any environmental threats in New York that imperil the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the land we live on, Attorney General Schneiderman is committed to ensuring that the Environmental Protection Bureau continues to be a national leader on the environment.
The Environmental Protection Bureau, located within the Office of the Attorney General's Social Justice Division, plays a central role in protecting New York's environment and public health. With a staff that includes some 40 lawyers and 10 scientists, the Bureau vigorously enforces both the State's and Nation's environmental laws. It also represents the State of New York in legal matters related to the environment.
Attorney General Schneiderman has made environmental protection a centerpiece of his administration, tackling a wide range of critical issues such as climate change, nuclear power plant safety, air and water pollution, energy efficiency, hazardous waste, and safe and healthy communities. The Attorney General's accomplishments include:
- Successfully defending New York State's participation in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative -- a multi-state effort to reduce emissions of pollution that contribute to climate change -- against challenges by out-of-state political interests.
- Winning a landmark ruling against the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for sanctioning long-term storage of radioactive waste at nuclear power plants without fully assessing the related public health, safety and environmental hazards.
- Leading a coalition of states in legal action that directly led to the federal EPA's adoption of national air standards for harmful particulate matter -- commonly referred to as "soot" pollution -- that better protect public health.
- Dedicating $4 million in settlement funds to local efforts to improve water quality in the Bronx River, $200,000 to assist farmers to combat water pollution in Lake Champlain, and $400,000 to fund projects aimed at restoring lakes and streams in the Adirondacks still suffering the damages of acid rain pollution.
- Leading a coalition of states in reaching an agreement with the federal Department of Energy that established a timetable for updating long-overdue energy efficiency standards for four common commercial appliances.
- Successfully defending New York State's ability to hold polluters responsible for the cleanup of hazardous waste in communities.
- Dedicating $2.2 million in settlement funds to expand his office's highly-successful Buffalo Green and Healthy Homes Initiative to help more of New York's neediest families lower their energy bills, and eliminate serious health and safety hazards in their homes.
If you are aware of any activities or conditions which may violate environmental laws or significantly harm the environment, we would like to hear from you. Please call the New York State Office of the Attorney General's Environmental Protection Bureau at (518) 776-2400 .
