I really don't think you'll have to do much of anything other than watch the junk (pull tabs, bottle caps) etc. depending on the mineralization, but thats not even a problem here in NC. I can't say about Virginia but, if you choose the beach program and adjust Preamp Gain and A/C Gain to the conditions as you move around during the day you will be happy from wet sand to the dunes. I don't use Ratchet, or tone ID when I hunt the surf with my DFX, thats just me, maybe its not the right choice for others but I find that I do better by switching them off and the machine seems to hunt more stabilized. The 950 coil is great on the beach just slow down and let it hunt.
Here's the "basics" .... Adjust to your area / preferences ....
This setup with my DFX / Stock 950 on Daytona Beach will nail quarters at 12" .... You'll hit trash, but you won't miss small rings, thin gold chains, etc. Turn MM = OFF if its "too busy" for you .... It DOES help with small gold however.
Hope this is helpful. Da FoX
Reject -95 to -31
Accept -30 to +94
Reject +95
Tone ID = ON
Ratchet = OFF
Sweep Speed = 7
Recovery Speed = 30
FREQ = Dual / Best Data
If there's anything I hate worse than diggin' pulltabs, its missin' a gold ring.
Welcome to the forum Looking forward to seeing your finds
Ineptocracy [in-ep-toc'-ra-cy] - a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers. There are three classes of people: those who see...those who see when shown...and those who do not see. - Leonardo da Vinci
well, I went out to the beach for about 2 hours this evening. The program settings posted by DeolslyFoX seemed to help, but I didn't find much. It seemed that with the new program settings, I was getting very inconsistent VDI's for dimes and pennies. Would corrosion have a lot to do with that?
I found a pair of sunglasses, a womans bikini top (didn't pick it up :P) and about 1.00 in change. Is the surf better to detect than the beach area in general? I didn't get a single beep, other than falses, on the surf...

Take Me Home Country Roads
Yes, after pennies and clad dimes etc. have been in the salt for a time they will sometimes fool you and give a different visual on the screen than what they actually are. I have come to the conclusion that if I hear a "good solid tone" or a "sweet faint whisper".....I dig......you just never know, I have found rings at about +24 VDI that showed up as a pull tab or dime around 9 inches deep, and sometimes the dimes themselves would VDI in the +20 to +40 range, when I would dig them they would be redish in color from the mineralization, and Fox's info is right on the money, he has alot of knowledge on the DFX and I think I'll set my DFX to his specs for my hunting buddy the next time we go to the surf.

Never miss another 'Savages' show
Savages are a London based four-piece, combining a mixture of guitars with a groovy nu wave / punk rhythmic session. They have subsequently been compared to the great post punk bands of the 1980s, Joy Division and Magazine to name but a few.
Gemma Thompson's ability to wrap her guitar solo around the hypnotic bass of Ayse Hassan and intertwine with the rest of the band before splitting off, all within the space of a few seconds, this pulled together with the awesome energy of Jehnny Beth who has been likened to Joe Strummer.

The Eastern Montgomery Mustangs tried to finally find a groove against Covington in Elliston on Friday night.
East Mont had plenty of work to do, down 21-7 to start the second half.
On the first play off the half Darryl Manns of East Mont fielded the kick off and busted through the coverage team, taking it 81 yards for a touchdown, bringing it to within eight.
But Covington answered when Brandon Phillips handed off to Raquann Matthews, who ran it in for a 35-yard touchdown gallop to put the Cougars back up by 15.
Covington tacked on another TD when Phillips took the snap at the Mustang 8-yard line and slid right into the end zone for 6 more and a 35-13 lead. Covington cruises past East Mont, 35-21.

If I stop taking Benadryl, my eyes and the area around them get red and my skin itches all over. What can I do about this? Is there an alternative if I am allergic to one of the ingredients in Synthroid? Is the organic version of Synthroid safe? What other alternatives are there? I had thyroid cancer and had my thyroid removed, but have been cancer free for 3 years. I am lactose intollerant and am allergic to grasses.

- then the duck sued for discrimination. it was a controversial lawsuit, but the duck eventually won. then because he could talk he was dissected for scientific purposes
- Stupid joke of ALL time :( :(
- This joke QUACKED me up! :D
- you stole this from john hodgman
- What's funny about this is that the man isn't shocked that the duck can talk, but rather he's kind of annoyed that the duck expects duck-related items in his store. Love it!

Vince Orza is an amazing liar,thats why he's a democrat.But that girl is hot hot hot!!!
For the past year or so, KSBI Channel 52 has produced some weird show called Oklahoma Live! It airs each day at 1:00pm and is primarily watched by old women who can't locate their remotes, Abigail Ogle and stoners who think they are watching a long, elaborate and frighteningly realistic SNL sketch.
Anyway, I've never actually watched an entire episode of the show, but it looks like that may change. We learned through the Ogle Mole Network that Alex Wehrley, Miss Wisconsin USA 2009, has been hired as the new host of the program. In fact, her first show is today. I think she'll be replacing Drew Schroeder of "Drew and Kasey, Too" fame, who will be taking a leave of absence to figure out why he can't open his eyes.
From the Rockford Star:
Alex Wehrley, morning anchor for 13 News Today at WREX in Rockford, is leaving that post to host the early afternoon Oklahoma Live! show on KSBI in Oklahoma City…
Wehrley, 25, has been at WREX as morning show anchor since February 2011. She was Miss Wisconsin USA 2009 and holds a degree in communication arts from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
She said her most memorable assignment at WREX was when she rode a roller coaster at Six Flags Great America while being filmed and talking into the camera.
Wow, this is the best thing Vince Orza's done since he closed all the Garfield's in Oklahoma City! If they can get Alex to dress like a cheerleader, nurse or innocent broke girl with car trouble, I may have to start watching this. And you no what, Vince could probably convince her to do it! Hell, he's already convinced her to move to Oklahoma to take an obscure TV job. He should win some Journal Record award for that. Either Vince Orza's an amazing salesman (a.k.a. liar) or Alex Wehrley's extremely naive and desperate to get into TV. Considering her career highlight is riding a roller coaster, I think both are kind of true.
Anyway, if you're still reading this and haven't already jumped to the pics, I scoured the Internet for some photos of Alex. I found her Facebook Page, Model Mayhem page and Adult Friend Finder profile. Ok, just kidding about the last one. If you ask me, she's Liz Dueweke hot. Lets just hope she's not vain and spends her days pandering for compliments on Twitter.
Here are the pics:
(I don't know how they do things in Wisconsin, but is that the strangest modeling pose you've ever seen? If I saw someone standing against a building like that in Downtown OKC, I'd call the police and a janitor.)
(I don't know how they do things in Miami, but is that the second strangest modeling pose you've ever seen? If I saw some man chasing a girl on the exotic shores of Lake Hefner, I'd call the police and a janitor.)
She should meet Cardboard Jim Traber.
Anyway, we wish Alex the best of luck at KSBI. If she ever wants to talk about the struggles of the new job and vent and complain over lots of vodka, she can always contact us on Twitter.
Vince Orza is an amazing liar,thats why he's a democrat.But that girl is hot hot hot!!!
All politicians lie. It's part of the job description.
Um I want a do over of my company's interview on ok live from last year.
Speaking of Liz.
she is way hotter than Liz duenke. She also probably has more than two pairs of shoes unlike Liz. Wonder if she'll spend the entire time that doesn't involve her talking looking coyly at the camera with her head tilted slightly downward and to the side making duck faces like Liz. I've never understood how someone so insecure would choose a life as local tv personality with only moderate looks to offer and no verbal wit or personality.
Funny,funny stuff!
"convinced" her to move to Oklahoma? You've never been to Wisconsin, have you?
First of all, Vince Orza is not a Democrat, secondly, what a great photoshopportunity with the last photo.
Orza ran for state office as a democrat.
To be fair he also ran as a Republician about 8-12 years earlier.
That shot of me chasing her on the beach got yours truly a 6-month deferred sentence under Miami's stalking ordinance.
LOL. Tell me you at least landed a bulldog nelson on her.
WELL,Is'nt that special!
She should have been holding an AK-47 in the camo photo. Let the OKC cat fights begin.
I think all the media babes around here just got out-classed.
Liz Who-fleck?
She's pretty easy to look at. Oh, and I'm typing this with one hand.
Vince probably had to mortgage the farm to get her. But seriously, my cable was turned off for a month and I actually watched this show a couple of times. Vince has got big problems w/ that show and station.
Thanks! Your message has been sent!

"My Road Trip To Jamesport, Missouri" Jamesport by kaluvzmc
Jamesport Travel Guide: 0 reviews and 13 photos
It was a long road trip. My mom and I set out early in the morning and we drove down the highway hour after hour, taking turns driving. This picture is of the "Welcome to Iowa" sign that we passed.
This is a picture of the main road that goes through the center of Jamesport. If you walk down this road, you will find many English shops and restaurants. The Amish shops are located further out into Jamesport. You will also find the local High School, all the places to stay, the bank, the market, and the flea market (when it is going on)
Here is just a small part of the Amish heritage. As we were driving further out into Jamesport, we seen these horses and buggies at one of the local Amish auctions.
- Pros:Good Amish food, Nice people, Easy to get around the area
- Cons:You have to drive really slow, horse poo, the town smells
- In a nutshell:So much more then just another Amish community.

Answers to your questions about gardening, energy, homesteading and other sustainable living topics.
By Vicki Mattern
better soil, cover crops, overwintering
I'm looking for a winter cover crop to improve my soil for next season. What are the best choices?
Planting a winter cover crop is a great way to store solar energy through the off-season in your soil and build fertility for the following year. Cover crops can improve soil texture, boost organic matter, prevent erosion, suppress weeds, and provide food and shelter for beneficial insects.
In general, there are two basic types of winter cover crops:
1) Those that grow vigorously in fall but are easily killed by cold temperatures (such as oats and barley, in most regions).
2) Those that survive winter cold and resume growth in spring (such as field peas, winter rye and hairy vetch).
The first kind is relatively easy to manage in spring, and you can then plant the area immediately with an early garden crop, such as carrots or peas. The trade-off is that you must sow these covers earlier to get adequate growth before the plants are killed by the cold. Oats, for example, should be sown by early September in the North and a few weeks later in the South.
The second kind of winter cover crop — those that overwinter and continue growing in spring — can be sown a bit later into fall, after most garden crops have been harvested for the last time. These covers use garden space longer in spring, and they must be pulled, chopped or mowed to be killed. They can be followed by warm-season crops, such as tomatoes or melons, or a late planting of brassicas or greens. To prepare spring beds faster, instead of turning under cover crops, cut them off at ground level and add the tops to your compost or use them as mulch.
If soil fertility and increased tilth are your main goals, choose an overwintering cover crop such as Austrian winter peas or hairy vetch. When turned under, these legumes not only add organic matter, but also boost nitrogen — 3.3 pounds per 1,000 square feet for winter peas and 2.6 pounds per 1,000 square feet for hairy vetch. Most veggies need 2 to 3 pounds of nitrogen per 1,000 square feet, so if you grow these cover crops, you won't need to add additional nitrogen fertilizer for the following crop.
Although less winter-hardy than hairy vetch, Austrian winter peas offer a cool bonus: The tender young shoots are delicious in salads — just pick off the tips.
For details on which cover crops are best for your region, see Overview of Cover Crops and Green Manures, a publication by ATTRA, the National Sustainable Agriculture Information Service. Managing Cover Crops Profitably, a free, online publication, is also an excellent resource.
— Vicki Mattern, Contributing Editor

is this the building next to the main gate.?
this was the com. center, i was the duty commander ,driver.
That was my duty while a student in NSC, Class A school.
Electronics Tech. 1969-70
Place had our HF transmitters and teletype printers.
in coming radio traffic and other comms.
This place and island was very busy during the Vietnam war.
Many of the transit barracks people were very dangerous and killed 2 of our very young and innocent students.
one while shaving , other while phoning in on fire watch to say all secure.
they should never have mixed NSC with Transit and Brig.
they had escapes from the Brig too.
I did love my stay , 1 year of my life there.
we partied constantly in SF.
I was raised next to Mare Island (horse island) so knew all the places to go ,etc.
thanks for posting !
happy trails to all.
: I've explored Treasure Island quite a bit over the past couple years, documenting the remains.
: The basement of Bldg 1 seems mostly unused these days, and is VERY spooky. There are a couple SCIFs, the Fleet Admiral Chester Nimitz Briefing Theater, a walk-in vault, and then a section that looks like it might have been a small hospital or infirmary, in addition to a variety of plain looking office type rooms.
: I'd love to learn from some of you what these Bldg 1 basement facilities were actually used for during whatever era you were assigned to NAVSTA TI.

By Theresa Goffredo Herald writer
For its 40th birthday, Intiman Theatre is giving us a present.
For the first time this summer, it is launching a new theater festival to celebrate its 40th year.
This new festival will have four plays by authors ranging from Dan Savage to Shakespeare.
The 17 actors involved in the festival include popular local veterans along with new faces, playing more than 40 roles in more than 80 performances.
"Jumping between Shakespeare, Ibsen, Shanley and Savage, we've programmed work that warns: Don't get too comfortable," artistic director Andrew Russell said in a prepared statement.
Performances are at Intiman Theatre, 201 Mercer St., Seattle. Previews begin July 5, with performances running from July 11 through Aug. 26.
Tickets are $30 each. Go to Ticketmaster.com or call 800-982-2787.
A limited number of tickets may also be available at the door for the same price one hour before performances.
For more information about the plays, acting ensemble, company and interns, go to www. intiman.org.
The festival schedule:
"Romeo and Juliet": William Shakespeare; directed by Allison Narver. This modern day version of a romantic classic of two lovers caught in the crossfire of family hatred is raw, dangerous and sexy.
"Hedda Gabler": Henrik Ibsen; directed by Andrew Russell. Ibsen's personal play has Hedda Gabler returning from her outrageous honeymoon to face a path filled with mystery and betrayal as she's circled by a past lover, a wealthy judge who has her money and a husband whose baby she secretly carries.
"Miracle!": Created and directed by Dan Savage; choreographed by Waxie Moon. The Stranger's writer and activist Dan Savage returns from a theatrical hiatus to create a drag extravaganza that is part comedy, part heartwarming story that has Helen Stellar struggling to find her voice during amateur drag nights at Seattle's Brass Connection.
"Dirty Story": John Patrick Shanley; directed by Valerie Curtis-Newton. Shanley, who wrote "Doubt" and was the screenwriter for "Moonstruck," creates another co-dependent couple in this comedy that takes the intimate and turns it international.

NEW DELHI: The Adarsh Housing Society scam — which triggered political convulsions in Maharashtra, forcing a change of guard in the state — looks set to cast a shadow on the country's defence apparatus.
Major General RK Hooda, who is currently posted as additional director general of mechanised forces at the Army HQ in New Delhi, will now face a court of inquiry (CoI) for his alleged role in the scam. The Adarsh scam has caused a huge embarrassment to the armed forces, which have already been reeling under the impact of a series of corruption cases.

Hello everyone…I am working on a remix of my previous diamond design that I have on here and I would like some feedback/comments/criticism to help me out! I have been wanting to make a diamond design that involves abstract and grunge styles…which is difficult because a diamond is such a clean-cut look. I also wanted to someone use light to destroy this seemingly unbreakable mineral.
Here is what I have so far…click the thumbnails!

Local officials who would likely be involved in the housing and care of 2,000 immigrant children are scrambling to form a solid plan following County Judge Clay Jenkins' Saturday announcement.
County officials and service agencies who would be the ones dealing with the children only heard about the large logistical undertaking just before the announcement and Clay Jenkins wants Dallas County to house child immigrants are forming a plan now.
Commissioner John Wiley Price said at an unrelated press conference today that a place to house the children has been found, but did not give details. The county also intends to get Parkland Memorial Hospital involved.
County Commissioner Dr. Elba Garcia said she talked to the county judge before he made the announcement but has no firm plans about what might come next. She said her office has been flooded with calls from local social service agencies and officials who are willing to help.
Dallas ISD has offered three vacant school buildings to help the county care for the children.
"We are looking into the way we're going to handle it," she said. "I don't think we know how many kids, from which areas, how much [money] the federal government will send to Texas.
"I obviously think it's a humanitarian crisis," she said. "How can you say no to children?"
Garcia as well as the social service agencies will be charged with housing the children, providing medical care and legal help.
Jenkins told The Dallas Morning News that he was certain Dallas County would begin housing children by late July. He said he was working on the plan with HHS, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
Anne Marie Weiss-Armush, president and founder of DFW International Community Alliance, said that if Garcia has been charged with the task of organizing officials and services to help shelter the children, there is no one more qualified. Garcia was born and educated in Mexico City.
"Elba is recognized by local community groups as being a caring and dynamic leader who focuses finding solutions in an efficient and courageous manner," Weiss-Armush said.
The influx of children fleeing violence in Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala has put added strain on the immigration system. Roughly 52,000 minors have been detained by U.S. immigration officials for unlawfully crossing the border with Mexico since October.
Staff writers Dianna Hunt and Sherry Jacobson contributed to this report.

ELIZABETHTOWN, Ky. -- A Hazard hoops legend, a three-time state champion with Laurel County and a 3,000-point scorer from Paintsville are part of the second High School Basketball Hall of Fame class.
Johnny Cox, Sharon Garland and J.R. VanHoose are officially members of the Kentucky Basketball Hall of Fame. And all of them have a story to share.
"In 1996, we had beaten Magoffin County for the regional championships, and after we won the state tournament that year, there were four or five of their players that had been in our cheering section cheering us on. It made you feel like what you did was a lot bigger than just you. You know, everybody from back home and from eastern Kentucky."
Cox, Garland and VanHoose make up a 17-member class in this year's induction. All three admit they would not be here without hard work.
VanHoose credits his teammates.
"Without them, I don't think I would have the things that I have as far as individual accomplishments," Vanhoose said. "You know, they could lean on you, you could lean on them in times of need, and ask them questions. the upperclassmen always helping the underclassmen."
Cox said it was about practice.
"Practice and playing, playing and practice," Cox said. "Night and day, day and night. Summer and winter. never did stop."
Meanwhile, Garland appreciates the person who got her started playing the game.
"I got to play on the boy's team when I was in the sixth grade in my elementary school," she said. "My principle that day was our coach, and he made the boys understand and the parents -- some were upset that they let a girl play -- but he said, 'You know, if she's better than they are she''s going to be on the team."
Everyone here was better. And now they have the credentials to prove it.

We were unable to pick it up Sunday, so we didn't call them to ask if it was there. Monday afternoon, we called and asked if the loveseat had arrived at the store. After being on hold for 15+ minutes, we were told, AGAIN, that it had not arrived. At this point I became extremely irritated and decided that we would go to the store the next day, which was today (August 25) and demand that they either give us our couch or give us a refund.
So today, we went to the store, and no surprise, we were given the run around AGAIN. The man whom I spoke with said that the manager was out sick and only managers can do store to store transfers. This, however, was completely ridiculous, as I find it extremely hard to believe that there was no one present at the store who was covering for the manager who was supposedly sick. That's simply not how businesses are run.
This time, however, I was so irritated that I refused to take the run around crap, and kept arguing with them, and pointing out that the manager had put in the transfer order on Saturday so there's no reason why he would need to be there right now to get the loveseat to the store. After arguing with the man for 10-15 minutes, one of the other workers called the store where my loveseat was and arranged for us to drive out there (a 25 minutes drive, mind you) to pick it up ourselves.
All in all, yes, I saved money on the couch, but I also spent probably $60+ in gas getting to and from the store 6 times, plus driving to and from the other store where I finally got my loveseat. It simply was not worth the hassle.
STAY AWAY. If you do end up buying from them and have a problem, DO NOT just accept their run around excuses...STAY there and ARGUE with them, it worked for me, even though they still were able to screw me, just not as much as they would have liked. And the brilliant twist in this whole scheme of theirs is that all the sales are final and you can only get refunds through the corporate office, and from the other reviews I've read, that process takes 30-60 days and if you did layaway or delivery you will only get a portion of your money back.

In Indonesia, Acceptance of Corruption Starts Young
What's more important, being honest or rich?
It was a question put to youths in four different Asia-Pacific countries by anti-corruption watchdog Transparency International. It found that one in five people surveyed said it is acceptable to lie and cheat to get rich.
In addition, 72% of those surveyed said they would engage in a corrupt act for personal gain. Among the most common violations was willingness to accept help from relatives to secure a job or get enrolled in a certain school. Approximately one-third of youths surveyed in Indonesia said they would cheat or pay a bribe to pass an exam.
The survey, Asia Pacific Youth: Integrity in Crisis, was conducted through interviews with approximately 4,000 youths between the ages of 15 and 30 in Fiji, Indonesia, South Korea and Sri Lanka. It was done in the last half of 2012 but released earlier this week.
According to a statement from Transparency International, the survey's aim was to understand how youth experience and engage in corruption.
It selected the four countries because they all possess a large and growing population of young people – people who have the power "to change their societies for the better," the statement said.
What's worrying, it noted, is that despite knowing corruption is wrong, many youths believe they need to compromise their values to succeed.
Corruption has long been rampant in Indonesia. In 2013 it placed 114 out of 177 countries on Transparency International's corruption perceptions index, which ranks countries based on their level of cleanliness, with number one being best.
To combat the problem, a number of corruption monitors in Indonesia have started programs aimed at teaching youths about what constitutes an act of graft.
Indonesian Corruption Watch has started an anti-corruption school in Jakarta and has plans to roll it out in several big cities across the country. It has also hosted anti-corruption music concerts and helped produce videos to make more young people aware of corruption and its dangers.
But better educating youths about corruption would take more than the effort of a few private organizations, said Ade Irawan, the coordinator of Indonesian Corruption Watch.
Indonesia has a semi-independent anti-corruption commission known as the KPK that has made significant strides in rooting out corruption in businesses and government – though it still faces its share of challenges.
Earlier this week Indonesia's religious affairs minister resigned from his post after the KPK named him a suspect in a corruption case involving funds tied to the Muslim pilgrimage.
Among the sizeable population of Indonesians under 30, however, Mr. Irawan said the government needs to help provide better examples by putting more investment in education and religious institutions.
"Some serious action needed to be done, through music, anti-corruption youth groups in high schools and universities," he said.

Charred Snap Beans with Whole Lemon Dressing and Mozzarella
When you leave lemon peels behind on the cutting board, you're (literally) throwing away free flavor. The peel adds a mild bitterness that we love, plus a bit of texture that instantly makes a salad dressing interesting.
Pepperoni Panzanella
Panzanella salads are a great way to use up the last of that loaf of crusty bread. Change it up as summer progresses by tossing in other vegetables or herbs. Just don't skip the tomato: It helps soften the bread.

Beautiful line work with murky, mysterious colours from New York-based artist Victo Ngai. Victo has an interesting background, which she describes on her site:
She speaks Chinese (Both Cantonese and Mandarin), English and Japanese.
She attended Christian schools, but is not Christian. She holds a British National (Overseas) passport but is not truly British. She is a Hong Kong citizen but does not have a Chinese ID card.
Her parents live in Hong Kong; her grandparents are Chinese American living in the west coast of the States; and Victo goes to Rhode Island School of Design on the east coast.
Victo talked about her illustrations and more, below.
I work with both traditional and digital media. The lines are done with nib pens or rapidograph pens. The textures are done on different pieces of paper with various media, like graphite, acrylic, oil pastels. depending on what look I am trying to achieve. Afterwards, everything is digitally composed and colored in Adobe Photoshop.
My source of inspiration is very broad – from natural scenery, to great graphic design, to old and contemporary illustration masters.
I think I indulge in and absorb anything that is beautiful or interesting. If I were to have a preference, I think I am naturally more drawn to decorative and flat imagery because of my oriental art influences growing up.
Those examples would be: Chinese Shan-shui painting and folk art, Japanese wood block prints, Art Deco paintings.
I am currently based in New York, and am working on a project called "1200 Posters", which is meant to inspire conversation and community.
The project is a collaboration between "Big New Ideas" and RISD students and alumni. I am one of 12 artists who will be working on a series of large silk screen posters that will be produced in limited editions of 100 (100 posters x 12 months = 1200 posters).
Each poster will be inspired by one line of a larger quote from Margaret Wheatley, and the text will be included as a graphic element in the design of the poster. Our hope is to use the text along with artistic expression to inspire the kind of artistic community the quote discusses.
I am also building my online store for selling limited prints and looking for more editorial illustration work.

Sometimes you just have to....
Have you noticed, you can talk yourself into and out of doing most things.
- We tell ourselves we are tired, so can't / shouldn't go to the gym tonight. The fact that it's raining, you're cold and don't fancy getting wet are probably the real reasons - but you convince yourself that it is your "tiredness" and you will feel better tomorrow so you'll bail tonight.
- We tell ourselves we really are hungry. It may only be 2 hours since lunch time, but because we are bored, because we don't want to face whatever it is that is looming we make excuses and make several cups of tea and eat cake / biscuits / fruit our bodies don't need just to avoid doing the task.
- We tell ourselves we can, we tell ourselves that if we just work on this for just 5 more minutes we can then stop (BTW this is a great technique if you are struggling - tell yourself you will work on something for just 5 minutes and then you will stop and do something else / more interesting).
- We tell ourselves we don't care if it is raining outside, we are going to the gym no matter what. Our bodies may be creaking at the seams, we know that once we get into the routine everything will be OK and we also know we will be able to work through most of the aching we feel.
so - honesty time:
- What have you talked yourself into or out of doing recently?
- How do you think you could have handled the situation better?
In the case of talking ourselves out of doing those things we know we should do, these situations are our block points, these are de-railing our progress and with it our motivation. So next time you are faced with a deliberate attempt by yourself to not do something you know you should be doing - acknowledge it. Once you have acknowledged the fact you are deliberately procrastinating or not doing a task you can then talk yourself into doing it. This might sound strange, but once logic takes over the previous arguments don't usually stand the scrutiny. And if you do decide not to do something - at least you will have made a proper and conscious decision - and that's a good starting point to overcoming the procrastination habit.

USAID/Malawi supports institutional strengthening and increased citizen participation in decision-making. USAID provided significant assistance during Malawi's May 2014 tripartite election for President, Parliament, and Local Councilors—the first election of its kind in Malawi's history. By raising awareness of electoral rights and processes, USAID's Democracy and Governance office created a better and more informed electorate, ensured fewer irregularities during the election process, and spurred higher voter turnout. Activities increased citizens' opportunities for engaging with government officials and therefore cultivated democratic legitimacy and inclusion. It had been nearly 10 years since local leaders were in office, and these elections presented a unique opportunity to reintroduce elected governance at the district level. Therefore, post-election, USAID focused on strengthening citizens' participation in local government decision-making. USAID cultivates a positive working relationship between the newly elected local councilors and citizens' groups in targeted districts and helps local civil society organizations (CSOs) operate better.

Welfare Chief Is Hoping to Promote Marriage
By ROBIN TONER
Published: February 19, 2002
WASHINGTON, Feb. 18— Wade F. Horn, the Bush administration official who oversees the welfare program, says ''it would be wholly inappropriate for the government to run a dating service.''
Nor, he says, does he want to push poor women into marriages with abusive boyfriends, as some feminists have asserted.
But Dr. Horn does want the federal government to promote and encourage marriage more aggressively among low-income people, and the administration is proposing to spend $100 million a year to do just that.
The money is intended to finance experimental programs in the states -- like education campaigns on the importance of marriage and premarital counseling for people who decide to wed -- to find out what works. The question of marriage, and what the federal government should do to support it, is expected to be front and center in the welfare debate this year in Congress, as it reviews and reauthorizes the landmark 1996 welfare law.
The law imposed sweeping new work requirements for recipients and saw substantial reductions in caseloads, but many policy makers agree that it has been much less successful in its other goals: to ''reduce the incidence of out-of-wedlock pregnancies'' and to ''encourage the formation and maintenance of two-parent families.''
Some poverty experts point to progress in recent years. Birth rates among teenagers have dropped substantially, for example, and some studies have shown a rise in the proportion of poor children living in two-parent households.
Wendell Primus, a former Clinton administration official and an analyst at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a liberal research group, said such progress should not be dismissed. ''It's so hard to move social trends,'' Mr. Primus argued.
Still, many policy makers -- including Tommy G. Thompson, the secretary of Health and Human Services -- say much more should be done. A third of births were to unmarried women in 2000, including 68.5 percent of the births among blacks, according to data released last week by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Children growing up in one-parent families are four times as likely to be poor as those growing up in two-parent households, said Isabel V. Sawhill, a welfare expert at the Brookings Institution, a research organization in Washington, and a former Clinton administration official. A majority of families who end up in the welfare system, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, are single-parent households, experts said.
Dr. Horn, assistant secretary for children and families at the Department of Health and Human Services, said in an interview, ''My central overriding concern is not marriage, it is the well-being of children.''
He added that ''the empirical literature is quite clear that, on average, kids who grow up in stable, healthy, married, two-parent households do better than kids who grow up in some other kind of arrangement.''
Representative Wally Herger, the conservative California Republican who is chairman of the House subcommittee that will play a major role in reviewing the welfare law, said, of the marriage programs, ''I can't think of a better use of money.''
But some poverty experts question whether the government's promotion of marriage is the best way to deal with these problems. ''Marriage is a good thing,'' Ms. Sawhill said, ''and it would help kids a lot if more were born to married parents, but I'm not sure we know how to do it.''
The problem is not the lack of marriage, she said, ''it's that people are having babies at an early age, before they're ready to have babies or get married.''
The Bush administration wants to use the $100 million to figure out what works, in part by underwriting demonstration projects, Dr. Horn said. The money will be redirected from another program that granted bonuses to states where rates of out-of-wedlock births declined.
Dr. Horn suggested that the experiments would revolve around giving people the ''skills and knowledge'' to have a healthy marriage, like premarital counseling or marital enrichment classes. Mr. Thompson has said the administration would also propose a matching grant program ''to strengthen families and reduce out-of-wedlock births.'' The details of the administration's welfare proposal are expected to be announced within the next month.
Some states, using existing funds, have already started marriage projects. Oklahoma, for example, is channeling part of its federal welfare block grant to finance a training course on marriage and relationship skills. The course is available to all state residents.
Some critics are dismayed at the notion of government entering such an intimate realm. ''This is a crowd that says it wants to get government out of people's lives,'' said Kim Gandy, president of the National Organization for Women, ''And here they are pushing people they don't even know to get married.''
Ms. Gandy said that if the administration wanted to improve the economic lot of women and children, it should provide them more assistance. ''To say that the path to economic stability for poor women is marriage is an outrage,'' she said.

Many Soldiers will say their most vivid memory of Basic Combat Training was the moment they pulled off their protective mask and felt the sting of reality in the gas chamber.
Soldiers from Company A, 2nd Battalion, 60th Infantry Regiment recently got their turn in Fort Jackson's Nuclear, Biological, Chemical chamber. On a rainy day in their third week of BCT, they completed the NBC training.
"The purpose of NBC is for them to get familiar with their equipment, and to know that if there is ever a severe situation, that they'll be able to use their equipment properly," said Capt. Jason Murray, commander of Co. A, 2nd Bn., 60th Inf. Reg. "They learn how to seal and clear the mask properly."
A day at the NBC chamber begins with classroom instruction. Range cadre teach the trainees about the equipment they will be using. They break for lunch, then line up for the chamber.
The chamber itself is a small building -- dark, cold and empty, except for the Soldiers who line the walls in single file. The line wraps around the walls with Soldiers in protective masks, except the five standing by the exit door who take their masks off when they are instructed to by drill sergeants.
"We try to teach them to learn how to seal it properly and clear it. If you don't then any little hole that might be in the mask will let the gas inside, so we have to make sure and watch out for that," Murray said. "There's a lot of gasses out there that other countries could use against us that you really can't smell or you won't even know is there, so that's why it's important that you always have your mask sealed properly."
Pvt. Steffen Wittbrodt, from Marlette, Mich., said his drill sergeants actually helped keep them calm before they went in.
"It was kind of different, nothing like anything I've ever felt before. (It was) scary, a little bit," he said. "I was about the 10th one back and one of the kids was freaking out because his mask wasn't sealed, so I felt fortunate that my mask worked. It wasn't too bad though. I just kept calm."
Fellow BCT Soldier Pvt. Samuel Whaley from Ogden, Utah, agreed that NBC training can be nerve-wracking, but is worthwhile.
"It was interesting, to say the least," he said. "I would definitely try to never do it again. It hurt, but it wasn't too bad. It's good training. I think it's really worth it. It kind of gives us an idea of what to look for if we were taken POW or something. It made me very confident in my equipment. I think it will be my biggest memory from basic combat training."
Whaley said when he was in the chamber, he kept thinking about when he could get out.
"I was thinking to myself that if I just tried to say the whole Soldier's Creed in one breath that I'd just be able to get out, but I was wrong," he said. "I took my mask off, I took a big breath and I just started coughing. I couldn't really breathe."

Russian Skywalkers
These kids are kind of nuts. Call it daring-do or call it dare-devilism. Whatever it is, it's definitely not acrophobia.
"Skywalking" is the latest trend to hit the Moscow teen scene. These skywalkers – not of the Luke variety – scale buildings, bridges, and monuments hundreds of storeys high, just for the hell of it. To top it off, they do it without any safety gear. Not that a helmet would help them from a fall from these heights.
They do, however keep a camera in tote, an important point of their extreme urban climbing being to capture the stunning views from such terrifying heights and post them online. The community of Russianskywalkers is estimated at around 200, with each one adding their own photographic style and quirk. In addition to the precarious climb, Skywalkers often have to trespass to gain access to the city's towering structures. Once they reach the top, the daring-est of the daring take it to the edge, with the chance of is only the slightest misstep away.
The pictures and videos above are from Vitaly Raskalov and Alexander Remnov, two prominent Skywalkers in the Moscow skywalking scene. Their websites are obviously in Russian; thankfully, there pictures are worth more than a thousand words.

Mobile phone owners will soon be able to watch live BBC news reports and World Cup football, listen to radio and catch up on iPlayer shows thanks to a fresh set of BBC phone applications.
BBC news and sport apps will first be available for the iPhone, with more later in the year for Blackberry, Android and Nokia devices.
All the apps will be available free of charge to licence-fee payers, with advertising for smartphone owners abroad. More people globally view BBC content on mobile phones than online by PCs.
The broadcaster hopes the apps will help it broaden the reach of its mobile services. The BBC's mobile sites are already among the most popular in the UK, according to Comscore, but almost three-quarters of the people using the BBC's mobile services today are male and half of them under 34.
"The internet is taking its place alongside TV and radio as a third platform in its own right," Erik Huggers, the BBC's director of future media and technology, told delegates at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
"Long term, mobile could become the primary point of internet access for the majority [of people in the UK] ... Today's [Wednesday's] announcement means that we are catching up with our audiences."
It launched a new mobile site in 2008, but the BBC has been relatively slow to develop apps. Most of the UK's newspapers, including the Financial Times, already offer iPhone applications, while the Sky News app has 1m regular users.
"We want to be sure our propositions are distinctive and focus on our core public services – and are complementary to our broadcast output," said the BBC. "It's much more important for us to get the proposition right for the audience than [to] be first in market."
The BBC news app will be released for iPhone in April to provide live and on-demand audio and video content, available over 3G and WiFi networks, with an emphasis on breaking news.
A BBC sport iPhone app will be released in May, with the iPlayer app available later in the year.
Christian Lindholm, director at Fjord, a mobile consultancy, said to turn browser-based sites into apps allows content owners to form more sophisticated experiences, such as to make each app more relevant to its subject matter.
"They are saying there is a sports BBC experience and there is a news BBC experience."

EERE Releases Well-to-Wheels and Life Cycle Cost Analysis of Light-Duty Vehicles
June 13, 2013
The U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) recently released peer-reviewed documentation detailing the updated well-to-wheels greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and petroleum energy usage as well as the life cycle cost analysis for advanced technology vehicles that could be deployed in approximately 2035.
EERE's Sustainable Transportation Office, consisting of Vehicle Technologies, Fuel Cell Technologies, and Bioenergy Technologies, updated and documented the records, which document the assumptions and results of analyses based on several fuel/vehicle pathways, including advanced internal combustion engine vehicles and other advanced vehicles (hybrid electric, plug-in hybrid electric, battery electric, and fuel cell electric vehicles). The fuels assumed for the GHG analysis included gasoline with 10% ethanol blended in (E10), diesel, E85 from corn and corn stover, "drop-in" gasoline from biomass, natural gas, electricity (U.S. grid electricity, U.S. renewable electricity), and hydrogen from a variety of feedstocks. The analyses used the latest versions of applicable models (maintained by Argonne National Laboratory, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, and Sandia National Laboratories) and assumptions for technology advances based on DOE technical and cost targets that have been extensively reviewed by technical experts.
EERE pursues a broad portfolio of transportation technologies with the potential to significantly reduce GHG emissions and petroleum consumption to reduce the nation's reliance on foreign oil and diversify the national energy portfolio.
