"It covers all essential materials for preparing for the A+ exams. Having all material in a combo book makes my teaching job lots easier."
"It's well-written, has good review questions, and good instructor resources. Also, the CertBlaster test prep exams from Student Downloads are an excellent resource."
"I like the step by step approach with complete images. This means that in lecture I can easily brush past these section and give shorter demonstrations because the text covers the material so well. I like the detail on other OSes in the appendix. The hands-on exercises provide the starting point for great labs without having to purchase an additional book."
"I love the fact that the software and hardware texts are complementary. When students take the sequence with me it feels almost like a year long course rather than two disconnected courses. There is enough in common between software and hardware texts that students feel totally comfortable with the 2nd text at the start but there really isn't much useless overlap between the two that it feels like a "rerun". The texts are written such that a complete beginner to the subject can understand yet the more experienced students learn as well. Great balance!"

Rude awakening as elite units smash their way into Barrow homes
Last updated at 16:55, Tuesday, 19 February 2013
THREE homes had a very unpleasant start to the week when police smashed through their doors in a series of morning raids.
Residents at the house and two flats in Ormsgill, Barrow, had a rude awakening when they were raided by members of the police's Tactical Support Group, dog handlers and officers from the Serious and Organised Crime Unit yesterday morning.
More than 20 officers were involved in the operation that hit properties in Low White Close, Middle White Close and High White Close shortly after 9am.
A specially trained drugs dog and officers searched the properties and two people were arrested. However, no drugs were recovered in the operation.
Detective Inspector Rob O'Connor, of Barrow CID, said 46-year-old Michelle Pearson, of High White Close, had been arrested for failing to appear in court in relation to two shoplifting charges. She appeared at Furness Magistrates' Court yesterday and was ordered to pay a total of £187 in compensation and costs. She was also given a 12 month conditional discharge.
A 30-year-old man was also arrested in relation to a theft.
DI O'Connor said: "It has certainly been a success for us. We are quite happy with how things went and it sends out the right message."
He said it was important for the public to report suspicious activity.
Police dropped leaflets around the area reminding people to get in touch if they thought crimes were being committed in their area.

I'm not sure about this but I think it's a virus working through Bebo.
I got a message apparently from a friend (and member of this site) through Bebo. The message said "This could be the start of your acting career" and contained a link. I clicked the link and got a video that tried to load but said I didn't have the latest version of Flashplayer. When I tried to install the Flashplayer (from the link provided) my anti virus software blocked it.
A short while ago I got a message from another contact of mine on Bebo (and this board) saying that they got a video from me that they couldn't open and that their AV said it was infected.
This link seems to confirm a possible virus.
If any of you get such a message - even from a friend, DO NOT TRY TO OPEN IT.

Freya at the MOBO Awards 0
Viewing this video requires cookies. Please see more about cookies.
Last week I was lucky enough to have been invited by Freya along to the MOBO Awards show in Glasgow, Scotland. My first thoughts were: 'Crumbs, what am I going to wear?!' and 'How am I going to contain myself amongst all the celebs? It was a tough job but somebody had to do it and I had one of the most amazing star-studded and bass-fuelled nights of my life! I arrived in Bristol to catch my flight on Tuesday 4th and after some panic dress and clutch bag buying boarded my plane, full to the brim with nerves and dreading the inevitable delay or terrible even curse which seems to haunt me when I'm due someplace important at a certain time which leads to nothing but shredded nerves and smudged nail varnish (but that's another story!) Amazingly, nothing dreadful or unfortunate happened on my travels to Glasgow (other than perhaps embarrassing myself when I got really excited by a man wearing a kilt in the airport *cringe*) and I found I had a few hours to do a bit more panic shopping in Glasgow city centre, paint my nails and watch the Alan Titchmarsh show in my hotel room. Nerves and excitement aside, I teetered on my stilettos to the SECC Arena in Glasgow, retrieved my press pass and hall ticket and marched past all the screaming fans to the red carpet area to get my Tweet on for Freya.

Many people including myself were very excited of the future of the Miz after he won money in the bank a year ago. He was a young cocky star whose move-set wasn't the best and relied on striking his opponent but he had an ace in the hole being that he could cut great promos. In 2010 he held

Accommodation and facilities:
Really enjoyed our stay. Such friendly helpful staff. There were a few problems but staff sorted them out quickly. The shower water quality is not too good but I think for such a small island with such a high tourist population this should be expected and acceptable. Phi Phi has changed a lot over the years and is feeling the pressure of the visitors but the people remain a pleasure. I love this place!

Accommodation and facilities:
The hotel is very nice located at Tonsai beach. It has a nice pool area and the bungalows are very nice. The staff however are not serviceminded at all. You had to remind them several times to clean our room and still they only cleaned the room three times in a week. The breakfast is nice, but the hotel restaurant down by the beach is not good. To bad Tonsai Beach is every day invaded by Chinese tourists from Phuket. Thay come in speed-boats every day and you can hardly walk into the village because they are so many. The restaurants only serve chinese buffets for lunch, so if you want something else to eat you have to walk pretty far. Phi phi Islands and Phi Phi Villa resort is still a good option if you want to go there, but sadly it´s not the same as it used to be.

What a joke.....after having been out for the day and returning at 15.30 only to find that the room was still not cleaned. When we complained we were told that it was more important to get new guests checked in than looking after existing guests. This is obviously because they had out money already. No one informed us that the hotel was under renovation and after being woken up by electric grinders and complaining we were moved to another room only to find that as noisy as the first. What a disgrace, and as for sawadee after having used their services for almost 12 years I am deeply disappointed that they don t ensure that customers don t end up on a building site.

Nice hotel but small things need to be changed. Our toilet seat didn t fit our toilet, the shower had some rust on it, the towels could do with being updated and you had to go down to the front of the resort to the restaurant to get wifi. Location was brilliant.

Disgraceful customer service. The old woman behind the counter covered in make up is an absolute horror show. I called reception on the day of check out for some help with our bags and they said they would send someone. Noone showed up after half an hour so we went to reception and she witheld our key deposit as a late check out fee - about 30 USD - for something which was not our fault. There were never any towels for the pool, and the gym was out of use for the entire stay. DO NOT STAY HERE. There are far better places and in a better location. I never, ever give bad reviews but felt compelled in this case. I ll be putting this review on as many websites as I can. I would appreciate some feedback from the hotel on this issue, which I tried to get at the time but the manager wasn t available .

Moosejaw Men's Luke Garver 1/4 Zip Lightweight Fleece
When I was in 6th grade, all the cool kids were rollerblading. I saved all of my money until 7th grade and finally got a top notch set of blades. Unfortunately, rollerblading wasn't cool anymore at that point. I just told everyone I was wearing them ironically, but I didn't actually have any idea what that meant.
These pieces were developed in collaboration with the Moosejaw Humans of Influence Group, a vocal and passionate group of Moosejaw customers who take active ownership of the Moosejaw brand. Many of the features, designs, colors and sizing of Moosejaw clothing are a direct result of crowd-sourced feedback from the Humans of Influence and we were going to thank each of them for their help in making Moosejaw clothing amazing, but we don't really feel like it.

I'm sitting around the house wearing it right now. soft and a great fit. I got a large and fits just like all my other moosjaw tees and hoodies. I got a bright color to avoid getting hit by cars while jogging. it's also thin and fits great under my winter jacket.
I got the army green color and liked it so much i bought a tumeric one. I've been wearing them on runs and playing ultimate frisbee. keep me warm enough even for michigan as long as you are moving. and breath really well. they are thin and great to layer.
A great 1/4 zip pullover to layer with a heavier jacket and a base thermal layer. I got a Small in black and use it as my base layer since I'm normally a Medium shirt size, and it works well for its purpose. The Napoleon pocket is nice for stashing keys, etc. The build quality is excellent and the fleece is just the right weight for mild activity like walking to a class, running around town, etc. Probably too heavy to jog with unless its like -25 out. Like most Moosejaw products its a good value and fits well on those with an athletic build. This fleece pullover + any decent down jacket with a hoodie can handle alot of nasty elements without alot of weight.
Scored this as a sort of afterthought to use up a MJ gift card I received. This fleece is awesome! Fits great and looks great. I was in Juarez, Mexico, this weekend for holiday festivities and it was rather frigid outside. The Luke Garver kept me safe from the cold, leaving me free to worry about other issues such as border wait times and cartel violence. This is now my go-to layer for warmth, comfort and style. Thanks Moosejaw!
Pro's-Stylish. This fleece has nice little accents to it, like the Moosejaw patch and the logo's on the zippers. It's obvious a lot of thought went into creating this.-Slim Fit. Just because it's winter doesn't mean your clothes have to be baggy. This fleece has a great fit to it that contours to your body and really looks sharp. I am 5'7 and 140lbs and the small fit me perfectly. -Price. This thing is a steal.Con's-As other reviews have stated, the collar is kinda weird. It's not so much weird as it is high. I've found that not zipping it up all the way results in the best look.
So I just want to say that I love this jacket but that is to say that it isn't without it's cons. First this jacket is warm and comfortable. I really like the chest pocket and the arm sleeve pockets. Inside both pockets is a port/cutout for headphones to be wired through to your phone or mp3 devices. So as great as this product is I only had one gripe about the whole thing. Maybe its Moosejaws way of saying I am fat but this runs a bit small. I am a not obese by any means but anyways that's beside the point. So if you are unsure you might want to go up an extra size or do what I am doing and using this jacket for my late evening, early morning jogs and cycling.
This thing is great. Breathable and warm. The pockets are thin and not annoying which is a big plus. I'm 5'8"ish and kinda slim and a small is a little short, but that's how I like it. Only bummer is it isn't fire retardant, a spark landed on the inside of the elbow and melted through like butter.
Definitely designed for those of a skinnier ilk than I. And yet, it's great. I can barely get it over my head, but once I do, it's real comfortable, looks great, and will keep you comfortable on those cool spring evenings. Or whenever it's around the low 50's or so. But also, if you get the yellow one, chicks will look at you more.

In Windows 7 you opened "Network and Sharing Center" and then clicked the icon, here it would then let you change the name and icon. - The icon is gone in Windows 8.
*Please note I'm trying to rename the network itselt, not the network connection / adapter.
At the moment it is listed as "Network 3" which isn't particularly helpful for identifying the network. - Windows 7 on the same network seems to identify it by the router name.
Best Answer +BudMan , 31 August 2012 - 16:24
Just some clarification - this is what you want to change. And yours says Network 3?
Could you post up a screenshot of yours please.. Just so we are all clear what your seeing and want to change.
edit: Ok not sure if you can do this with some clicking anywhere like you use to be able to do. I am not anywhere near up to speed on win8 changes.
But you for sure can change it here

Mississippi State's defense got a chance to show its stuff when it finally got a chance to get on the field.
In Saturday night's 31-3 victory over the Ole Miss Rebels, the Bulldog defense started the game on the sideline until there was 8:07 left in the first quarter as MSU jumped out to a 14-0 lead, but it seemed a lot longer than that to senior linebacker Brandon Wilson.
"They actually took off what 12 minutes in the first quarter there," said Wilson. "We were sitting there waiting our turn so we kept telling each other to stay loose."
Staying loose was something they seemed to do as they held the Rebels to only seven plays before they punted.
The Bulldog defense forcing punts seemed to be a theme in the first half, but so was tackling and forcing fumbles.
At halftime, MSU had held Ole Miss to only 65 yards of total offense on 28 plays and five first downs. The Rebels also fumbled three times in the first half, but only two of them were forced by the MSU defense.
Much of the reason behind the first half success could be credited to the game plan put in by MSU's defensive staff.
"We knew going in that we had to tackle," said Wilson. "They have a running quarterback and an SEC running back and with the drizzle we know they weren't going to go out and pass a lot. We knew we had to go in and tackle the running game."
To accomplish their goal of attacking and shutting down the run game, the Bulldogs spent a lot of time studying the Rebels.
"We watch a lot of film and knew how we could attack them," said WIlson. "We wanted to be great blitzers and during the week of preparation we did that and it showed today."
In the second half, MSU head coach Dan Mullen said the defense and the entire team got a little sloppy, and saw some missed tackles that could have resulted in more yardage for the Rebels. However, the Bulldog defense was swarming to the ball on every single play.
"Overall, I think our guys played well, played hard and we ran to the ball," said Mullen. "To win big games, you have to have 11 guys running to the ball and we did that well and got a lot of guys to the ball on defense."
At the end of the game, the back up defense was in the game, and the Rebels picked up 64 yards against the second team. They also had a chance to put one in the end zone and the call on the field said that they had done just that. However, after a review the play was overturned.
Ole Miss tried for the end zone again on the final play of the game by running with quarterback Barry Brunetti, but MSU's Jay Hughes plowed him at the 3-yard line, to the delight of Wilson.
"It means a lot," said Wilson. "With our second defense going in and shutting them down on the 3-yard line, it's something good to see."
The Bulldog defense held the Rebels to 202 yards of total offense on 64 plays and only allowed three points in the 31-3 win. Cameron Lawrence led the Bulldogs with 14 tackles, Followed by Deontae Skinner with nine, and MSU gets to hold on to the Golden Egg Trophy one more year thanks to a big night from the defense.

Swatow refers to a large family of coarse provincial porcelains, often with vigorously painted decoration. They were produced in imitation of Kraak porcelains in a number of kilns not far from the port of Shantou (Swatow in Dutch records) in Guangdong province in southern China. Swatow wares are roughly made, often with grit adhering to their foot rims, while their decorations have the freedom and verve characteristic of late Ming ceramics. They have been found along international trade routes of the late 1500s and 1600s. Most typical of Swatow wares are the large dishes, decorated in blue-and-white, polychrome enamels and, less commonly, monochrome colours over a slip decoration.

NAVARRE — Three-year-old McKinzie Snead smiles brightly just before putting a tiny spoon in her mouth and eating make-believe soup.
"Yum," she says to her mother, later telling a visitor that the "soup" is water-flavored.
The little girl is strapped onto a board designed to help strengthen her muscles. At 3, she can't hold up her head or move her legs.
Her mother, Lindsay Snead, says she first noticed something was wrong when, at four months, her daughter stopped moving her legs, sitting up and pushing up.
McKinzie was diagnosed at six months with a rare genetic disorder known as spinal muscular atrophy. The disease attacks the nerves that communicate with muscles that control arms and legs.
"It was like the 'Twilight Zone' when we learned what was going on," 24-year-old Lindsay says. "We were told she would never walk and they didn't think she'd make it to 1.
Then, they didn't think she'd make it to 2.
"We've now stopped listening to what they say."
Their home in Navarre is filled with devices to help McKinzie live as normally as possible. On a sunny afternoon, the blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl sits in a chair specially made for her while she watches a cartoon on an iPad in front of her.
She can make small movements to swipe the screen and take pictures. After she's done showing off her iPad skills, she asks her mother to take her out of her chair so she can crawl for her visitor.
Since McKinzie isn't strong enough to propel herself, her mother balances the little girl across her knees and scoots across the floor. McKinzie smiles happily, moving her arms in a crawling motion while her mom does all the work.
"She can't crawl, so I use my body to be hers," Lindsay says breathlessly. "I take her to parks and help her so she can do everything. I'm sure people don't understand why I'm up there with the 2 year olds."
Lindsay and her husband Kyle say they've been blessed with the tools they need to get through each day. The only thing they're missing is a handicap-accessible van, which insurance won't cover.
For now, they're using Lindsay's mother's van, but that requires extra lifting for the small-framed young mother.
The Sneads are semi-finalists in a contest to win a new van, but the votes are still being tallied. If they don't win, they're not sure what they can do next.
They say the future is unclear. They don't know what will happen with their daughter, but Lindsay says despite all the trials she has a happy 3-year-old.
"There are days when it's hard. She tells me all the time that the reason she can't walk is because she's a baby," Lindsay says. "That just kills me."

This week I got the rare opportunity to have a low key dinner with the founders working at the NewME Accelerator in San Francisco. It was a great visit—the energy and sophistication of the teams there was really strong, and I enjoyed the time.
This talk was strictly Q&A—just me sitting with a group of around 15 founders, fielding questions one after another. I love this format. But if you've spent time with me, you'll know once I get started I don't really stop talking, so this may not be all that unique.
The founders' questions were many. Some were specific and use case oriented, such as, "Our team has built a product, we're getting traction, and we think we need to raise a small seed round. Some are suggesting we raise more, what do you think?" In your case, given the instincts that've gotten you this far, I reco following them going forward. If you have an offer to raise more, then think about that then.
Or, "I'm a founder with unique and differentiated real world experience in a specific market, and I want to hire a tech team to build a product this industry needs. How do I raise money to hire them or how to do I hire them before I have money?" Catch 22 — not sure what to say, just have to figure out a solution.
Others were pretty hypothetical, "If you had one company with 2 million users and no revenue, and another company with a small number of users and $50,000 in revenue, which would you be more likely to invest in?" Hm. Totally depends on trajectory and relative opportunities of the two.
In answering the questions, I often had to reiterate a caveat I find myself making a lot these days. Namely, when I'm answering a question on a business I know only lightly, as in when I show up at a Q&A with founders, my answers are going to be broad brushstroke generalizations. These generalizations may not work for you in your particular situation. Mileage can vary, a lot. The core truth is that your on the ground reality may be the sort of thing where my advice, or the advice of other outside perspectives, is pretty useless or even harmful.
In my own experience, in building startups the core on the ground reality is pretty muddy and opaque. This is a constant reality—startups are inherently dealing in uncertainties, and uncertainty creates ambiguity. Uncertainty and ambiguity is more the norm than the exception.
At the same time, many in our community, investor types like me and other outsiders, present a worldview that is much more certain. Company 1 is screwed, Company 2 is can't miss. Do A, do not do B. The world is black; not white. Approach y worked for company x, so you should think about doing y too. In an uncertain world, the narrative of certainty is valued.
I disagree with this thinking. Far more is unknown than known, especially by those of us far removed from the front lines of our business. I encourage founders to hear out different opinions, but retain your own perspective, informed by the reality of your situation.
In most cases, the situations we're dealing with aren't black and white. They're gray. Beware of people who make you think the answers are simple and that generalities work.
If the answers were simple, anyone could do this stuff.

Now THIS Restores my faith in humanity! I HATE HATE HATE!, ****ing teens that play that loud music out of their car all hours of the night.

Javik.. Gun advocates don't advocate murder.. Murder has always been illegal..There are people with no respect for human life regardless of a firearm or not.
The comments in this thread are a testament to why I have such intense distrust of gun advocates. Killing someone for being a little bit annoying is absolutely insane and it's horrifying to see so many people that have no respect for the value of a human life.
Posted 30 November 2012 - 01:31
6 out of 14 comments in this thread are implying that it's perfectly OK to shoot someone if they play loud music. What is wrong with you?
Posted 30 November 2012 - 01:53
He is only victim, because he himself made himself a victim, even if the "punishment" was ridiculous and insane. Must always be aware there are people like this out there.
Posted 30 November 2012 - 01:57
One word, Paranoid. Do the math all gun owners aren't like him Why hasn't there been tens of millions of murders today in the U.S?
What a completely idiotic statement. His radio was loud and he was shot for it. You're implying that by playing loud music, you're inviting gun slinging psycho's to come kill you. So retarded.
Just an FYI, you can't justify a moron shooting someone over loud music. So please, stop trying. Of course, the gun advocates will just say "He was mentally unstable and should have never been allowed to carry a gun!" Give me a freakin' break. Humans cannot be trusted with guns. Plain and simple. Pro-gun folks are just as bad if not worse than religious nuts. When something bad happens "Ohhhh. God works in mysterious ways!" or in this case "He was mentally unstable and shouldn't have had a gun! We're not all like this!"
Newsflash, this guy has probably said the same thing multiple times, you know...before he shot someone. Because their music was too loud....yeah.

As a graphic designer this is a subject that has been interesting and frightening to me for a long time now. Check out this fascinating and important video on iconography from Bill Whittle of Pajamas TV its 8 minutes long, but its so good it feels like 30 seconds.
I actually saw this video months ago, and it has served for inspiration and motivation for several pieces I've done (and can be found on my art page) since viewing it...
I would love to know how many other drafts or concepts were worked up before coming to "the one." Even better, how many times did his team have to convince Obama that a picture of him looking into a mirror wont work with the American people as well as it works for him.
He puts that logo on EV-ER-Y-THING......I'm not that old but I'm pretty sure we haven't seen narcissism like this out of a political leader in this country, like, ever.
I can hear the libs now saying all I want to do is tear down the president rather than try to build up the country with him. Thats precisely what the problem has been with his campaign to be president all the way up until today. The Obama presidency has not been about a legacy for America. The Obama presidency has been by, for, and about Barack Obama.
We can say a lot about George W. Bush, or any other president, but we can't say that.
This idea can't be better demonstrated than at 2:35 into the video when Whittle shows an Obama campaign poster from 2008 that not only includes Obama's logo with all the other icon's of what America is, but Obama's logo actually comes front, center, and superseding all the other icons, which are faded to background status.
George W. Bush had the "W," which Whittle calls "amateur hour" because of its impact. However, the W in the video was shown flying the American flag. The W was HOLDING UP American ideals. Obama's logo has been and is continually seeking to REPLACE them.
Remember that every time you see Obama's logo. I, and many others, tear it down like its a present at Christmas because it MUST be torn down.
In the end the very American ideals Obama seeks to make secondary to the symbol of him will hopefully be his undoing, because they are bigger and more powerful than he is.
When the Tea Party says they want us to take this country back, they don't mean it in the partisan sense of voting Democrats out so they can be replace with Republicans. They want us to LITERALLY take back the country. It's not going to be the personal playground of ill received "leaders" any longer.
This can only be true if Americans will be willing and able to wield power of the 1st Amendment, endowed by God and not government.
How long do you think that will last when any president attempts to make our government centered around them and not our ideals. Not long if we don't do something about it.

Accelerating AMBA Protocol-Based Design
Configuring and stitching together complex IP components manually is a time consuming process, which in turn introduces further complexity when ensuring the compatibility of interface parameters such as write interleaving and acceptance depths, bus widths, ID widths etc.
The ADR-301 tool provides a single common front end for configuring and integrating System IP and other ARM IP. The main benefits from this approach comprise rapid, error free configuration using intelligent configuration tools, and correct by construction connection of ports using the IP-XACT interface standard.
ADR-301 outputs configured Verilog RTL along with industry standard IP-XACT descriptions for ease of integration into third party design and implementation tools. Once a component is generated it can also be added to the ADR-301 component library to maximize re-use. Stitching together of multiple components is supported in a hierarchical manner.
Comprehensive Set of Features Provided
|Key Feature
|Configuration Engines for System-IP which employ designer knowledge
|Rapid configuration of ARM AMBA components. Automatic checks for non-optimal and mutually exclusive configuration options always resulting in 'valid' configurations
|GUI drag and drop integration environment
|Rapid assembly of configured AMBA components.
|Industry standard IP-XACT 1.2 and 1.4 support
Maximizes re-use of existing configurations by allowing the user to create an IP library. Supports assembly and 'stitching' of ARM components and export of hierarchical components for the purpose of IP-XACT based top-level Verilog generation/stitching.
Outputs generated from ADR-301
From an IP Configuration Engine
- A human-readable, fully commented set of optimized Verilog RTL modules
- A test bench environment capable of demonstrating an 'out of box test' of the configured RTL module
- An IP-XACT file representing the component instance that has been configured
Note: Although ADR-301 ships with all configuration engines, System IP is licensed separately from ADR-301 and requires a simple linking step during IP installation to enable RTL generation
From IP-XACT stitching
- A top level Verilog file
- A .VC file containing all of the Verilog module references
- An IP-XACT file that can be used to start the stitching process at the next level of hierarchy

Hey, when is this 10K? Can I join too?
Fantastic post Smokey. Now that you shared this with the readers, we're all going to be keeping an eye on you to make sure you follow through.
Now that the Christmas festivities are over, the next order of business is the new year. That means resolutions.
Frankly, I'm tired of New Year's resolutions. I make them every year. I break them every year, often forgetting the resolutions by Martin Luther King day.
On the other hand, there are plenty of bad habits I'd like to get rid off before my next birthday in September. So here I am, finalizing my New Year's resolutions strategy. Let's see if we can break the losing streak in nought seven.
I have two lofty goals for 2007:
I agonized before typing those words. I'm an introvert, super lazy and smoke like a chimney. Trust me when I tell you I'm scared as hell sharing these resolutions. Given my track record of not finishing what I start, there's a good chance of failure.
But if I'm serious about growing as a person, not smelling like Uncle Joe's burnt ribs all the time, and not having to sit down every 10 feet, putting these resolutions out in public is the best thing I can do.
So here's the game plan...
Smokey's 8 sure fire tips for successful New Year's resolutions
(If you have tips to make New Year's resolutions more sure-firely successful, please share in the comments!)
1. Aim for something you can track
"Lose weight" or "get more exercise" are nice resolutions and all, but without specifics to focus on, they're doomed from the get go.
Can you aim for a number or other measurable goal? The more focused the resolution, the easier it is to succeed.
Instead of "be healthier", how about one of these more specific resolutions?
For the exercising resolution, my trackable goal is 120 days in the gym. I want to be generally healthier, get more exercise, and have more energy. Factoring in my schedule and overall laziness, an average of 3 times a week at the gym is a hard, but achievable goal.
For the quit smoking resolution, my trackable goal is to have 30 consecutive smoke free days within 3 months.
2. Set a deadline, the sooner the better
A deadline far off in the distance is quickly forgotten. Without a deadline, you may find yourself making the same resolutions year after year.
For my goal of exercising at least 3 days a week, I need to get 120 days in the gym in a whole year (365 days). Hmm, looking at that big 1-2-0 number is kinda scary and having a deadline so far away (Dec 31, 2007) makes it easy to ignore the resolution for just another day.
That really increases my chances of failure. I think I need to add a 3 month milestone of 30 days in the gym by April 1. Doesn't seem so hard now, and hopefully by April, getting some exercise has become an indispensable habit that I'll continue for the rest of the year and beyond.
3. Be accountable to someone you don't want to let down
Having to tell someone whose opinion you respect when you've succeeded (or failed) is a big incentive.
Remember that deadline? You can combine tips 2 and 3 into one "I finally accomplished a resolution!" party. Make that date at the beginning of the year!
For me, I'm being accountable to you, the Internet. I figure you, dear Internet, are the scariest person I can be accountable to. God help me.
4. Use the buddy system
The buddy system works for keeping us safe. It also works for keeping us motivated.
Find a friend who wants what you want. Both of you now have a fighting chance of keeping this year's resolution.
I have a buddy for both resolutions. There's plenty of people looking to quit smoking and/or get more exercise.
5. Do a 30 day challenge
I learned about the 30-day challenge from Steve Pavlina. It's a way to trick yourself into not being scared of the commitment. Steve says,
It seems too overwhelming to think about making a big change and sticking with it every day for the rest of your life when you're still habituated to doing the opposite. The more you think about the change as something permanent, the more you stay put.
That summarizes how I feel about the quit smoking challenge. I love smoking. It's great after a meal. Or in the mornings with a soy latte and the New York Times. Trade that in for mood swings and cravings so strong I want to claw my eyes out? That's crazy talk.
I'm using the 30 day challenge to track the nicotine intake. To break it down into a manageable chunk. I'm not going to be smoke free every day, but 30 consecutive smoke free days within the first 3 months is doable. 1 month, 4 weeks, 30 days. No biggie.
6. Visualize the result
Why are you making this resolution? It's not because you suddenly hate chocolate and all things sugary. It's because you want to fit into those jeans. More than that, it's because you want the sweet ego-boosting adulation from all those around. Think about the sweet adulation, not the velvety sweetness of cheesecake.
For me, the goal is to not be out of breath walking from my car up the stairs to my apartment. That's not a very sexy goal to visualize, so I imagine myself chasing down a purse snatcher and being everybody's hero. And not coughing up a lung every morning.
7. Reward yourself
Give yourself something awesome to look forward to.
If you're quitting smoking, calculate how much money you saved and splurge on yourself.
I spent roughly $700 on cigarettes a year. At the end of the year, I'm going to take that money and buy my friends a nice meal. (I seem to have Andrea's selfish need to be selfless.)
I'm picturing a fat, juicy Filet, medium rare, and a side of sweet potato casserole (with pecan crust) at Ruth's Chris (see picture).
8. Start right away
If you don't start on January 1, your chance of success drops from 74% to 37%. (source: Bureau of Fake Statistics) So start immediately!
I think starting on the 2nd is okay. We'll need a day off to recover from the hangover. Don't put it off too long, or you'll be making the same resolution next year.
I have a sneaking suspicion I have some kind of attention deficit disorder, though never formally diagnosed. If I put something off for a couple of days, forget about it. Seriously, just forget about it. It's gone forever.

Hey, when is this 10K? Can I join too?
Fantastic post Smokey. Now that you shared this with the readers, we're all going to be keeping an eye on you to make sure you follow through.
Quitting smoking is tough - I have an uncle who's been making excuses for his failure to do so for years. That's my biggest flaw when it comes to getting stuff done - I've ALWAYS got an excuse.
i've never smoked (anything...ever) but i've had cravings to smoke. so i stay away because i'm pretty sure i'd get hooked and never go back. good luck greg! you can dooooooo it!
saw this one msn.com today and thought you might find it helpful. http://health.msn.com/guides/stopsmoking/
how was day 1 on the road to quitting?
I know smoking is such a hard habit to break! I've tried everything (patch, gum, pills, etc) and I finally stumbled upon a great solution. Electronic cigarettes, yes, electronic cigarettes. I know it sounds strange, but they really do work! They supply nicotine in vapor form like a little nebulizer - no tar, no carcinogens, but all the nicotine. So you can keep smoking, only healthier and cheaper. Check out these sites for some more info:
