i have the HWUG1 i like it i am able to all attacks with no issue's where are you have problems at?
Hi, been searching for the best USB wireless adapter for BT4 Final, with a focus on WPA handshake capture success. I have a Hawking HWUG1 that seems to send out DeAuth very well, but will not capture a handshake for anything. I also have an ALFA AWUS050NG that will connect to an AP but will not inject DeAuth or read handshakes when a client connects.
Has anyone had out of the box success with a specific adapter in the injection/handshake cap area?
i have the HWUG1 i like it i am able to all attacks with no issue's where are you have problems at?
I got success to get some handshake, with my tinny PCIe atheros.
This is my "lspci | grep Wireless" :
But it could be hard sometime to get, remember to launch your deauth with the mac address of a client in the -c parameter.Also check your wireless driver, madwifi is a good choice.Code:01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
Even there is many reason why you can not get one, take a look here, specially the 'I Cannot Capture the Four-way Handshake!' you can find usefull informations.
In the end, for your question I think it is yes for many people with bt4, and a atheros chipset card, but as you can see in the link there is a lot of parameters to take in consideration.
Quite new to this but the AWUS036H worked for me out of the box and I understand it highly rated among others. Using it I was able to crack my basic WPA password quite easily. Stick on a 9 dBi and it has great range.
I was wondering if anyone has anymore input on this topic specifically the 2000mW Alfa's?
Here is another option I am looking at...
The supplier states
"A: The chipset is Realtek 8187L, we can provide the driver for most of the OS."

My personal favorite is the AWUS036H (1Watt model)
eBay has them quite cheap nowadays
I like the Alfa awus036h but it doesn't work with hostapd.
This is a good topic to discuss. I'm looking for "the best" adapter myself.

Experience a Slice of Frontier Life During Fort Richardson Days
JACKSBORO, Texas — Come celebrate the 142nd anniversary of the existence of Texas' northern-most U.S. Army fort during Fort Richardson Days on April 17 and 18, and see what frontier life was like in the 1870s.
More than 3,000 visitors typically show up during the weekend for the annual living history event, including 1,100 school children who are invited to the fort on Friday, April 17. The celebration takes place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days at the Fort Richardson State Park & Historic Site one-half mile south of town on U.S. Highway 281. Entry fees are $3 per person for individuals between 13 and 64 years of age, and $2 for persons 65 and older.
On Saturday, Fort Richardson visitors can see Wild West gunfights; cavalry, infantry and artillery drills; flintnapping, spinning, blacksmithing and weaving demonstrations; and equipment displays. Lipan Apache tribal elders will be sharing their heritage from their encampment, which includes a period tipi. In addition, the event will include a 1 p.m. melodrama presented by Weatherford College students and a 7 p.m. dance featuring old-timey music and dance instruction. There will be food and souvenirs for sale, with proceeds supporting the Friends of Fort Richardson.
More than 100 re-enactors in period attire bring the frontier days to life in what was the most heavily garrisoned military installation in the U.S. during the Indian War of 1870-74. Fort Richardson, built in 1867, also served as the regimental headquarters for the Sixth U.S. Cavalry from 1871 to 1873.
Seven original structures, six built of rock, and two reproduction barracks will be open for tours during the special event. The most impressive of the original buildings is the two-story rock hospital built for $140,000 that dominates the fort's parade grounds that once spanned the length of four football fields.
Visitors also can step inside a two-story, frame home that remains as the only commander's quarters of its kind left standing in the U.S. It was but one of more than 50 buildings that existed during the fort's heyday when more than 700 troops occupied the fort established to protect westbound settlers from hostile Indian tribes that dominated much of West Texas in the 1860s and 1870s.Though the weekend focus will be on the Fort Richardson Days event, visitors also can enjoy a variety of outdoor recreational options, including camping and traversing the nine-mile Lost Creek Reservoir Trailway. For more information, call the fort at (940) 567-3506.

Here's another Heisman candidate Q&A courtesy of our on-the-spot reporter Adam Nettina of GoMids.com and the Utah Statesman.
Boise State has garnered a lot of media attention over the last few years. Is there ever a concern that the increase in attention will be a distraction as you prepare for the season?
I think it's really just in the way you handle it. It can obviously be a distraction if you want it to be and you get too caught up in it. But you take it for what it is, and it really means that people care about Boise State football and enjoy watching us and that's the good part of it.
You have a 26-1 record as a starting quarterback. What do you attribute that kind of success to?
I think I've just been fortunate to have been surrounded by tremendous players who make me look ten times better than I am. It's really just carrying on the tradition of quarterback at Boise State. There have been guys who've been very successful beforehand, and hopefully you learn from them and try to take it a step further and see what happens.
You actually finished seventh in the Heisman trophy balloting last season. What did you think of the hype surrounding that accolade?
It's kind of goofy sometimes. I don't think it really matters. It means we were playing good football last year and we were fortunate enough to be in conversations like that, but it can't catch your attention too much.
Do you dream of possibly winning the Heisman this year? Does it mean something to you?
If it comes it means we're probably playing good football. If it comes and we're not playing good football, who really cares? I think as long as we take care of business those types of accolades will come with it.
Your stats were ridiculous last year, but is there anything you can get better at as a quarterback?
(Yes). It really comes from watching tape from last year. Recognizing opportunities and missed things – little details that maybe if you're able to get better at those than the next time those obstacles come next season you're able to succeed.
You're starting out the year with a tremendous opportunity in playing Virginia Tech. Would you prefer to play a nationally ranked team like that, or do you prefer to have time to ease yourself into the flow of things?
I think it's all about the way you present yourself and the mindset you take into it. I'm excited for the Virginia Tech game this season. It's something you look forward to all offseason and you're already watching the tape and trying to recognize some things about them.
What are your thoughts about Virginia Tech?
We just respect the heck out of them. Especially when you watch tape. They are as well coached as anyone in the country. They are just fast and athletic. They are smart football players and don't screw up or blow coverages. If you're going to make a play on them you deserve it because they are going to play as well as they possibly can.
You said you've watched film on VT. How much film have you begun to watch?
It's summer – sometimes you're bored (laughs). I think we've watched all their games from last year already. You watch all those games and take what you can out. At the same time you understand that that defense had a whole offseason to do whatever they wanted to do and change some things up. They've got some different players. So you learn some things (from watching film) but at the same time you learn that they'll be twists and they'll be changes and you've just got to prepare for them.
How does VT's defense compare to the TCU defense you've seen each of the past two seasons?
I think definitely the speed factor. Both teams are very athletic and very fast. Not necessarily the biggest team you'll see, but I think they are one of the most impressive as far as how quick they get to the ball and how well they cover in the defense. I think they are just a very smart team that doesn't screw up.
This league is known for some very good quarterbacks, including another possible Heisman contender in Colin Kaepernick. What are your thoughts on him?
I think Colin is very good. If people haven't had the opportunity to watch him, he is just a tremendous athlete – one of the best athletes, I think, who plays college quarterback as far as being able to run and make plays on the run. At the same time he can drop back and make throws. We've seen him get better and better like a lot of quarterbacks throughout the years and next year he's got some opportunities to definitely showcase his talents.
How are you guys able to avoid the perennial conference 'letdown' game so many teams have during the season?
It's just taking it one game at a time. You have one game on you're schedule each week and you really just kind of put the blinders on and focus on that week and when the next week comes it comes.
How does it feel to be mentioned amongst the best quarterbacks in the country?
I think it's awesome. Certainly it means that we are a successful team because if you're a 2-9 team nobody really talks about you. I think it's exciting and I feel very fortunate to be in the situation I am. I've got some big-time wideouts around me and we have a very great offensive line so it's just been exciting.
A lot of people have been brining up the opener at Georgia in 2005 when comparing this year's situation opening with Virginia Tech. Have you talked to former BSU quarterback Jared Zabrasnky at all about that game?
I haven't really talked to Jared about it. A lot of these coaches have been through it the past few years and they've been through so many experiences that you just learn from them. They lead you down the right path and as long as you listen to them you're going to be successful.
You've always been so focused and humble. Does the chance of winning the Heisman really register with you? How do you deal with all the talk?
I really don't think about it that much. It comes down to how our team is doing. If our team is doing well people are going to want to throw out individual awards. If you're not doing well than nobody cares about you. As long as we take care of business on our end of it, maybe some success comes (on the individual front).
There always seems to be a surprise team in the WAC. Last year it was Idaho. Who do you think it will be this year?
I think everyone has potential. I think Utah State is a team that brings some things this year. They had a lot of young guys who can get things rolling. They've got coach Andersen who is a tremendous coach, and I think that's an program that can make some improvement.
Speaking of USU, they have a pretty solid quarterback. What are your thoughts on Diondre Borel?
I think he might be the best 'wiggle around and make a play' quarterback I've ever seen in a long time. He makes some amazing plays. I think he's right up there with a lot of quarterbacks – Colin (Kaepernick) and Nathan Enderle as well from Idaho. The league is really known for some good quarterbacks who are able to make some plays. Everyone kind of has their own different styles, and last year (Diondre) proved it. They didn't have the wins but he was able to execute the game plans and play pretty well.
Is having an effective quarterback a prerequisite for winning in the WAC?
You've got to be successful at quarterback to hopefully have a successful team. A lot of guys who've probably done it for awhile understand the situation they're in, and I think they're a lot of teams where if their quarterback is rolling they can probably be pretty good.
Who has a cooler mustache, coach Akey or coach Hill?
I gotta go with coach Hill, probably (laughs).
Does that mean we can expect you to try to grow one of those numbers?
I'm never going to grow either out (laughs). Not even if I tried…it would stop in about three days.Powered by Sidelines

PBS Newshour Features Action Against Hunger Humanitarian Honoree
Dr. Hans Rosling, recipient of Action Against Hunger's 2011 Humanitarian Award, was the subject of a fascinating profile on PBS Newshour Monday night. We're happy to report that PBS did not miss the chance to feature Dr. Rosling's affiliation with Action Against Hunger! In case you missed it, we've embedded the video below.
Watch Rosling Brings Life, Sword-Swallowing to Health Statistics on PBS. See more from PBS NewsHour.
Action Against Hunger's Humanitarian Award is given to individuals who have made extraordinary or notable contributions to the humanitarian field, whether through direct efforts, philanthropic support, or help in raising public awareness.
Dr. Rosling received his Humanitarian Award both for his prowess with statistical visualizations and his pioneering work on the paralytic disease konzo, which is mentioned only briefly in the PBS profile but certainly deserves a show of its own.
Konzo is cyanide poisoning that results from the consumption of certain species of improperly-processed cassava root. Cruelly, the species that are most drought-resistant—and therefore most frequently and abundantly consumed in a food shortage—are those highest in cyanide. Proper preparation can remove the poison, but before this information can have a positive impact on health it must be made widely known. Dr. Rosling has been central to these efforts—and entertaining all the while.

How else can data be used to motivate people to action? Are there ways to combine data-driven appeals with more emotional ones?

>Gears and Wears>2-in-1 Shorts
I am one of these guys with big thighs, and I need a compression short under my running shorts, to avoid chafing (note, one "f").
I have bought a couple of pairs of 2-in-1 shorts, with the built-in compression liner, assuming that these might cut down on my laundry and the number of running items I have to track. (I should also explain that I only buy gear once its on the discount rack.)
So far I am batting .500. The Asics shorts I bought are terrible -- the compression liner both sags a bit in the crotch and rides up on the legs. Not a good scenario. I won't use them now on runs much longer than 6.5 km. An Adidas pair, on the other hand, are super comfortable, and have become my favourite shorts, reserved for long runs.
My question: Anybody have any recommendations for 2-in1 shorts? I would like to have a few options ready to go so that I can improve my batting average the next time I see something on sale.
(Two anticipatory notes:
1. No, I will not run in just compression shorts. Nobody needs to see that.
2. No, I will not increase my options by paying full price. I just cannot justify $55 for a pair of shorts (average CDN retail price for 2-in1s).)
I have three pairs that are from Road Runner Sports. It's their own brand. I can't remember the price, but I remember it being reasonable. Here is a link. I think they were cheaper when I bought them.
I have the Nike 7" 2-in-1 short and I find its "inseam"/crotch is lower than the Asics and so requires a little hand-nudge to get up there (or requires pulling the shorts up a tad). However, it doesn't ride up at all for me. I also bought the Asics 2-1 pair on a whim and while the crotch doesn't sag for me and they seem OK, the compression short definitely ride up some, though it hasn't caused an issue yet.
I also tried a Mizuno Mustang 5" short, which is one of the shortest 5" shorts out there (subtract inseam from outseam), which means that the crotch line is higher. These are a bit too short for my comfort level, but once you get running, they do ride up in the middle some, but don't cause any discomfort. Still, better to stick with 2-1's.
Which exact Adidas model do you have that you like?
I recently bought Sugoi 2-in-1and they are really comfortable. They were full price (yeah, about 55$ CDN)... I usually also try to find bargains, but I was due for new shorts so I decided to encourage the local running store. I tried the Nike 7" (I think) at the same time and the Sugoi were a better fit for me. They seemed pretty comparable otherwise, with the Nikes 5$ more if I remember correctly.
Good luck in your quest for a bargain - let us know if you find one! (Maybe at a race expo if there's a race near you in the near future? I'm heading to the Ottawa expo in the next few minutes actually...)
Sugoi never seem to go on sale, but it is good to know that they might work. As for sales, Sports4 down on Bank had a few pairs of 2-in-1s on sale in the $33 range yesterday -- also selling Saucony Kinvaras at $90.
Good luck (not running myself this year). I hope the lightning storms hold off...
MTA -- Re the Adidas shorts, I googled the product number on the tag, and came up with Adidas Response Dual Baggy Short, like here. Picture and description match what I have.
Mesh basketball shorts from Target work for me. They are about $10 without being on sale.
When it's all said and done, will you have said more than you've done?
Mesh basketball shorts from Target work for me. They are about $10 without being on sale.
They work great for me too -- so long as I wear compression shorts underneath, which tend to run $25 for anything that will last more than a few runs. You know, because of my thighs...and the chafing and stuff...mentioned in the original post...?

Most basketball shorts hit just above the knee unless we're talking the early 80's old school style.
If a pair of shorts comes down to mid thigh or longer, how do you still get chub rub--with or without compression shorts underneath? Actually..you know what...don't answer that. I've spent enough time thinking about mens' thighs rubbing together for one day.
Runners run.
chafing isn't only about skin on skin, so the length of the shorts isn't always going to make a diff. it's how the shorts move against your skin between your legs when the cloth is all bound up there between your thighs. happy now?

She was not strong. She was valiant. Radiant. Brave and broken. The beauty she discovered in the aftermath was unparalleled to anything she had known before, because it had come at such a cost.

How do you work this thing?
Tried BodyGlide. I believe my thighs must have special abrasive qualities, as the BodyGlide wore off after about 25mins. Reapplication does not really seem to be an option.
BTW -- what a great place this is. After years of bottling it all up, here I am fessing up to "chubrub" (thanks for that), and talking about my thighs all day. Liberating.
I'm not a fan of Body Glide, either...I had about 3 sticks in a row that crumbled about halfway through...then they became a mess to use and dumped in the trash with several dollars of product left (I never found it to work for more than maybe an hour, either). I sent a note off to the company about the issue and their reply was that sometimes if the sticks sit in a store for too long that they degrade...but they never offered to send me a free stick or coupon or anything. I have had FAR better luck with the Two Toms SportShield roll-on. It's silicone-based, so it doesn't sweat off...it doesn't even wash-off easily. It's about the same price as Body Glide, but lasts a LOT longer. Their sock powder is also great stuff. I believe both products were recommended to me by one of the ultra runners around here.
2 in 1 shorts skeeve me out a little. If I want to run in a swim suit, I'll get a speedo.
I prefer to run in Nike or UA compressions shorts under a pair of running shorts.
Unfortunately, it is getting harder to find decent running shorts without liners.
I may be forced to buy shorts with liners, then cut 'em out.

Cognitive Psychology: Attention · Decision making · Learning · Judgement · Memory · Motivation · Perception · Reasoning · Thinking - Cognitive processes Cognition - Outline Index
Because motivation is a core concern of psychology most of the main theoretical approaches to the subject have developed their own theories of motivation.
Drive Reduction TheoriesEdit
- Main article: Drive reduction theories of motivation
There are a number of drive theories. The Drive Reduction Theory grows out of the concept that we have certain biological needs, such as hunger. As time passes the strength of the drive increases as it is not satisfied. Then as we satisfy that drive by fulfilling its desire, such as eating, the drive's strength is reduced. It is based on the theories of Freud and the idea of feedback control systems, such as a thermostat.
There are several problems, however, that leave the validity of the Drive Reduction Theory open for debate. The first problem is that it does not explain how Secondary Reinforcers reduce drive. For example, money does not satisfy any biological or psychological need but reduces drive on a regular basis through a pay check second-order conditioning. Secondly, if the drive reduction theory held true we would not be able to explain how a hungry human being can prepare a meal without eating the food before they finished cooking it.
However, when comparing this to a real life situation such as preparing food, one does get hungrier as the food is being made (drive increases), and after the food has been consumed the drive decreases. The only reason the food does not get eaten before is the human element of restraint and has nothing to do with drive theory. Also, the food will either be nicer after it is cooked, or it wont be edible at all before it is cooked.
Cognitive dissonance theoryEdit
- Main article: Cognitive dissonance
- Main article: Cognitive dissonance theories of motivation
Suggested by Leon Festinger, cognitive dissonance occurs when an individual experiences some degree of discomfort resulting from an inconsistency between two cognitions: their views on the world around them, and their own personal feelings and actions. For example, a consumer may seek to reassure himself regarding a purchase, feeling, in retrospect, that another decision may have been preferable. His feeling that another purchase would have been preferable is inconsistent with his action of purchasing the item. The difference between his feelings and beliefs causes dissonance, so he seeks to reassure himself.
While not a theory of motivation, per se, the theory of cognitive dissonance proposes that people have a motivational drive to reduce dissonance. The cognitive miser perspective makes people want to justify things in a simple way in order to reduce the effort they put into cognition. They do this by changing their attitudes, beliefs, or actions, rather than facing the inconsistencies, because dissonance is a mental strain. Dissonance is also reduced by justifying, blaming, and denying. It is one of the most influential and extensively studied theories in social psychology.
Affective-Arousal TheoriesEdit
Need Achievement TheoryEdit
David McClelland's achievement motivation theory envisages that a person has need for three things but people differ in degree in which the various needs influence their behavior: Need for achievement, Need for power, and Need for affiliation
- Main article: Achievement motivation
Interests TheoryEdit
Generally people will do what interests them. If a person has a very strong interest in one an area then obtaining outcomes in that area will be very strongly reinforcing relative to obtaining outcomes in areas of weak interest. Holland Codes are used in the assessment of interests as in Vocational Preference Inventory (VPI; Holland, 1985).
- Main article: Interests theory of motivation
Need TheoriesEdit
Motivation, as defined by Pritchard and Ashwood, is the process used to allocate energy to maximize the satisfaction of needs.[1]
Murry's sytem of needsEdit
- Main article: Murray's system of needs
In 1938 Henry Murray published Explorations in Personality[2], his system describing personality in terms of needs. For Murray, human nature involved a set of universal basic needs, with individual differences on these needs leading to the uniqueness of personality through varying dispositional tendencies for each need. In other words, specific needs are more important to some than to others. Frustration of these psychogenic (or psychological) needs plays a central role in the origin of psychological pain.[3]
Murray differentiated each need as unique, but recognised commonalities among the needs. Behaviors may meet more than one need: for instance, performing a difficult task for your fraternity may meet the needs of both achievement and affiliation.
Need Hierarchy TheoryEdit
- Main article: Maslow's hierarchy of needs
The content theory includes the hierarchy of needs from Abraham Maslow and the two- factor theory from Herzberg. Maslow's theory is one of the most widely discussed theories of motivation.
The American motivation psychologist Abraham H. Maslow developed the Hierarchy of needs consistent of five hierarchic classes. It shows the complexity of human requirements. According to him, people are motivated by unsatisfied needs. The lower level needs such as Physiological and Safety needs will have to be satisfied before higher level needs are to be addressed. We can relate Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs theory with employee motivation. For example, if a manager is trying to motivate his employees by satisfying their needs; according to Maslow, he should try to satisfy the lower level needs before he tries to satisfy the upper level needs or the employees will not be motivated. Also he has to remember that not everyone will be satisfied by the same needs. A good manager will try to figure out which levels of needs are active for a certain individual or employee. The basic requirements build the first step in his pyramid. If there is any deficit on this level, the whole behavior of a human will be oriented to satisfy this deficit. Subsequently we do have the second level, which awake a need for security. Basically it is oriented on a future need for security. After securing those two levels, the motives shift in the social sphere, which form the third stage. Psychological requirements consist in the fourth level, while the top of the hierarchy comprise the self- realization So theory can be summarized as follows:
- Human beings have wants and desires which influence their behavior. Only unsatisfied needs influence behavior, satisfied needs do not.
- Since needs are many, they are arranged in order of importance, from the basic to the complex.
- The person advances to the next level of needs only after the lower level need is at least minimally satisfied.
- The further the progress up the hierarchy, the more individuality, humanness and psychological health a person will show.
The needs, listed from basic (lowest-earliest) to most complex (highest-latest) are as follows:
- Physiology (hunger, thirst, sleep, etc.)
- Safety/Security/Shelter/Health
- Belongingness/Love/Friendship
- Self-esteem/Recognition/Achievement
- Self actualization
Herzberg's two-factor theoryEdit
Frederick Herzberg's two-factor theory of motivation, a.k.a. intrinsic/extrinsic motivation, concludes that certain factors in the workplace result in job satisfaction, but if absent, they don't lead to dissatisfaction but no satisfaction.The factors that motivate people can change over their lifetime, but "respect for me as a person" is one of the top motivating factors at any stage of life.
He distinguished between:
- Motivators; (e.g. challenging work, recognition, responsibility) which give positive satisfaction, and
- Hygiene factors; (e.g. status, job security, salary and fringe benefits) that do not motivate if present, but, if absent, result in demotivation.
The name Hygiene factors is used because, like hygiene, the presence will not make you healthier, but absence can cause health deterioration.
The theory is sometimes called the "Motivator-Hygiene Theory" and/or "The Dual Structure Theory."
Herzberg's theory has found application in such occupational fields as information systems and in studies of user satisfaction (see Computer user satisfaction).
16 basic desires theoryEdit
Steven Reiss developed his 16 basic desires theory of motivation.
Alderfer's ERG theoryEdit
Clayton Alderfer, expanding on Maslow's hierarchy of needs, created the ERG theory. This theory posits that there are three groups of core needs — existence, relatedness, and growth, hence the label: ERG theory. The existence group is concerned with providing our basic material existence requirements. They include the items that Maslow considered to be physiological and safety needs. The second group of needs are those of relatedness- the desire we have for maintaining important interpersonal relationships. These social and status desires require interaction with others if they are to be satisfied, and they align with Maslow's social need and the external component of Maslow's esteem classification. Finally, Alderfer isolates growth needs' an intrinsic desire for personal development. These include the intrinsic component from Maslow's esteem category and the characteristics included under self-actualization.
Self-determination theoryEdit
- Main article: Self-determination theory
Self-determination theory, developed by Edward Deci and Richard Ryan, focuses on the importance of intrinsic motivation in driving human behavior. Like Maslow's hierarchical theory and others that built on it, SDT posits a natural tendency personal growth and development. Unlike these other theories, however, SDT does not include any sort of "autopilot" for achievement, but instead requires active encouragement from the environment. The primary factors that encourage motivation and development are autonomy, competence feedback, and relatedness.[4]
- Main article: Self-control theory of motivation
The self-control of motivation is increasingly understood as a subset of emotional intelligence; a person may be highly intelligent according to a more conservative definition (as measured by many intelligence tests), yet unmotivated to dedicate this intelligence to certain tasks. Yale School of Management professor Victor Vroom's "expectancy theory" provides an account of when people will decide whether to exert self control to pursue a particular goal.
Drives and desires can be described as a deficiency or need that activates behaviour that is aimed at a goal or an incentive. These are thought to originate within the individual and may not require external stimuli to encourage the behaviour. Basic drives could be sparked by deficiencies such as hunger, which motivates a person to seek food; whereas more subtle drives might be the desire for praise and approval, which motivates a person to behave in a manner pleasing to others.
By contrast, the role of extrinsic rewards and stimuli can be seen in the example of training animals by giving them treats when they perform a trick correctly. The treat motivates the animals to perform the trick consistently, even later when the treat is removed from the process.
Broad theoriesEdit
The latest approach in developing a broad, integrative theory of motivation is Temporal Motivation Theory(TMT).[5] Introduced in a 2007 Academy of Management Review article, it synthesizes into a single formulation the primary aspects (including time as a fundamental term)[6] of several other major motivational theories, including Incentive Theory, Drive Theory, Need Theory, Self-Efficacy and Goal Setting. The original researchers note that, in an effort to keep the theory simple, existing theories to integrate were selected based on their shared attributes, and that these theories are still of value, as TMT does not contain the same depth of detail as each individual theory. However, it still simplifies the field of motivation and allows findings from one theory to be translated into terms of another.
Achievement Motivation is an integrative perspective based on the premise that performance motivation results from the way broad components of personality are directed towards performance. As a result, it includes a range of dimensions that are relevant to success at work but which are not conventionally regarded as being part of performance motivation. Especially it integrates formerly separated approaches as Need for Achievement with, for example, social motives like dominance. The Achievement Motivation Inventory is based on this theory and assesses three factors (in 17 separated scales) relevant to vocational and professional success.
Cognitive theoriesEdit
Goal-setting theoryEdit
Goal-setting theory is based on the notion that individuals sometimes have a drive to reach a clearly defined end state. Often, this end state is a reward in itself. A goal's efficiency is affected by three features; proximity, difficulty and specificity. An ideal goal should present a situation where the time between the initiation of behavior and the end state is close in time. This explains why some children are more motivated to learn how to ride a bike than mastering algebra. A goal should be moderate, not too hard or too easy to complete. In both cases, most people are not optimally motivated, as many want a challenge (which assumes some kind of insecurity of success). At the same time people want to feel that there is a substantial probability that they will succeed. Specificity concerns the description of the goal in their class. The goal should be objectively defined and intelligible for the individual. A classic example of a poorly specified goal is to get the highest possible grade. Most children have no idea how much effort they need to reach that goal. For further reading, see Locke and Latham (2002).
Models of behavior changeEdit
Social-cognitive models of behavior change include the constructs of motivation and volition. Motivation is seen as a process that leads to the forming of behavioral intentions. Volition is seen as a process that leads from intention to actual behavior. In other words, motivation and volition refer to goal setting and goal pursuit, respectively. Both processes require self-regulatory efforts. Several self-regulatory constructs are needed to operate in orchestration to attain goals. An example of such a motivational and volitional construct is perceived self-efficacy. Self-efficacy is supposed to facilitate the forming of behavioral intentions, the development of action plans, and the initiation of action. It can support the translation of intentions into action.
Psychoanalytic theories of motivationEdit
- Main article: Psychoanalytic theories of motivation
Some psychologists believe that a significant portion of human behavior is energized and directed by unconscious motives. According to Maslow: "Psychoanalysis has often demonstrated that the relationship between a conscious desire and the ultimate unconscious aim that underlies it need not be at all direct [7]." In other words, stated motives do not always match those inferred by skilled observers. For example, it is possible that a person can be accident-prone because he has an unconscious desire to hurt himself and not because he is careless or ignorant of the safety rules. Similarly, some overweight people are not really hungry for food but for attention and love. Eating is merely a defensive reaction to lack of attention. Some workers damage more equipment than others because they harbor unconscious feelings of aggression toward authority figures.
Psychotherapists point out that some behavior is so automatic that the reasons for it are not available in the individual's conscious mind. Compulsive cigarette smoking is an example. Sometimes maintaining self-esteem is so important and the motive for an activity is so threatening that it is simply not recognized and, in fact, may be disguised or repressed. Rationalization, or "explaining away", is one such disguise, or defense mechanism, as it is called. Another is projecting or attributing one's own faults to others. "I feel I am to blame", becomes "It is her fault; she is selfish". Repression of powerful but socially unacceptable motives may result in outward behavior that is the opposite of the repressed tendencies. An example of this would be the employee who hates his boss but overworks himself on the job to show that he holds him in high regard.
Unconscious motives add to the hazards of interpreting human behavior and, to the extent that they are present, complicate the life of the administrator. On the other hand, knowledge that unconscious motives exist can lead to a more careful assessment of behavioral problems. Although few contemporary psychologists deny the existence of unconscious factors, many do believe that these are activated only in times of anxiety and stress, and that in the ordinary course of events, human behavior — from the subject's point of view — is rationally purposeful.
Intrinsic motivation and the 16 basic desires theoryEdit
Starting from studies involving more than 6,000 people, Professor Steven Reiss has proposed a theory that found 16 basic desires that guide nearly all human behavior.[8][9] The 16 basic desires that motivate our actions and define our personalities as:
- Acceptance, the need for approval
- Curiosity, the need to learn
- Eating, the need for food
- Family, the need to raise children
- Honor, the need to be loyal to the traditional values of one's clan/ethnic group
- Idealism, the need for social justice
- Independence, the need for individuality
- Order, the need for organized, stable, predictable environments
- Physical activity, the need for exercise
- Power, the need for influence of will
- Romance, the need for sex
- Saving, the need to collect
- Social contact, the need for friends (peer relationships)
- Social status, the need for social standing/importance

Hi,I'm new to PHP. Currently I'm learning on output buffering. Everyone says that there would an error if there is an output before header() function call. This is same with session() function. Currently I'm not getting this error (Cannot modify header information...) while practicing on localhost. I'm not sure what is problem. I've not changed my 'php.ini'. I'm using PHP 5.4.3 and Appache 2.2.22. I want to use buffer functions to buffer my output before I can send it to browser. For practice I want to see this error and then remove this error using output buffering.
Can anyone please let me know how I would get this header errors? The example that I've used is available in php.net. That is:
/* This will give an error. Note the output
* above, which is before the header() call */
header('Location: http://www.google.com/');
Sounds like you have output buffering turned on in your php.ini file (http://www.php.net/manual/en/outcontrol.configuration.php#ini.output-buffering).
That is weird.
I checked the PHP Manual and also forced error_reporting(-1); and ini_set('display_errors',1); and the elusive Cannot modify header information... never appeared ?
I reckon this is a job for @Salathe; or another PHP Guru.
I've solved the mystery! What you get is a warning:
PHP Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at...
warnings don't kill the script and if you are using a production server that does not display warnings you don't see it. I got the quoted message from my php error log.
Hi, Output buffering is off in php.ini.
Hi,I've checked php error log page. There is no such warning or error. I'm using default php.ini.
You probably have output_buffering turned on, with the <html> text not being long enough to cause the buffer to be flushed. Also try with a different header (e.g. Content-Type: text/plain) since the warning might be being printed but not seen due to the redirect.
Content-Type: text/plain
Could you show us a phpinfo() page? The term "default php.ini" doesn't really help anyone, there are many defaults. (:
Hi,I'm sorry to everyone. I saw phpinfo page now and found that output_buffering is turned on. I turned it off and checked my code. It is working fine. Initially I was looking at php.ini file. I got confused with two declarations in php.ini for output_buffering. At first place it is turned off and at after few lines it is turned on. Those declarations are:
//at one location lines are
; output_buffering; Default Value: Off; Development Value: 4096; Production Value: 4096
// at another location in php.ini the lines are
; Output buffering is a mechanism for controlling how much output data; (excluding headers and cookies) PHP should keep internally before pushing that; data to the client. If your application's output exceeds this setting, PHP; will send that data in chunks of roughly the size you specify.; Turning on this setting and managing its maximum buffer size can yield some; interesting side-effects depending on your application and web server.; You may be able to send headers and cookies after you've already sent output; through print or echo. You also may see performance benefits if your server is; emitting less packets due to buffered output versus PHP streaming the output; as it gets it. On production servers, 4096 bytes is a good setting for performance; reasons.; Note: Output buffering can also be controlled via Output Buffering Control; functions.; Possible Values:; On = Enabled and buffer is unlimited. (Use with caution); Off = Disabled; Integer = Enables the buffer and sets its maximum size in bytes.; Note: This directive is hardcoded to Off for the CLI SAPI; Default Value: Off; Development Value: 4096; Production Value: 4096; http://php.net/output-bufferingoutput_buffering = On
After looking at phpinfo I came to know output_buffering is turned on. Issue is resolved now. Sorry for bothering on this. I think in earlier version it was turned off by default and in current versions (PHP 5.4.3) it is turned on by default.
No need to apologise, it is a common enough issue (having different INI settings that what you think are being used).
[ot]An aside about "default" values.
The "default" value (used when no INI file overrides the setting) has always been Off. This is what we mean in the manual when we say "default" value. Up until PHP 5.3.0 when we used to ship "dist" and "recommended" sample php.ini files, the values were Off and 4096 respectively. As of PHP 5.3.0, we ship "development" and "production" sample php.ini files, both having value of 4096. Of course, those are only sample files and the actual php.ini that gets installed (if any) also depends on your method of installation; e.g. many Linux distributions use their own customised php.ini when installing PHP.[/ot]

Here are the two Japan charts that matter after Japanese shares plunged more than 5 per cent today.
First, the Nikkei 225 Average is poised at the 50 day moving average, an important technical support level. If it recovers from here, this will be nothing more than a correction, if a big one, of the excessive optimism which had taken hold. From their peak last Thursday to today's low Japanese shares were down almost 15 per cent – but are only back to where they stood a month ago. The rally can continue, as the futures market suggests, with futures prices and bond yields both rising sharply after the cash equities market closed. But once the current volatility settles down, a continued rally is likely to come at a far more moderate pace. Read more

Now Gyarados has only 1 weakness and anytime someone tries to use an Electric move on Gyarados, Zapdos gets a boost. Also if you use Intimidate your Pokemon get great bulk with both of them already having good base S.Defense they get an effective boost to their Defense. Because of this boost it actually safe to use D-dance on Gyarados to make him fast and have an even Higher Attack. answered Apr 11, 2012 by Speed freak edited Jun 19, 2012 by Pokemaster Gyarados is weak to rock. commented Apr 11, 2012 by Mewderator Yes, I said "has only one weakness" that weakness is rock.

Have Kecleon skill swap his color change ability to a desired target, then follow up with Magnezone using Flash cannon. This changes its type to steel, meaning it cannot switch out because of magnet pull, it gives them a useless STAB on top of eliminating their own, it potentially gives Kecleon a great ability considering some of the stuff out there, and it also locks in a potentially dangerous pokemon. Obviously carry moves super effective against Steel to bring them down. answered Jun 8, 2012 by DarkTyphlosion OMG that is such a good idea!

Then use Encore to ensure they keep using Calm Mind for a while. If they dont switch you can move on to the next step. Switch into a Choice item pokemon(Band,Specs,Scarf, though the Scarf works best.) like this guy and have it use trick while the person is locked into Calm Mind. They are now stuck to not using that boosting move for the rest of the match. P.S. i used these guys as an example because they are what im using one one of my NU teams. answered Jul 7, 2012 by Kameko edited Aug 29, 2012 by Pokemaster Until they switch out.

Just be aware of pokemon with the ability guts when applying statuses because the attack will increase, but supersonic/confuse ray will add the possibility of that higher attack being used against them. answered Aug 1, 2012 by Chimcharizard edited Aug 1, 2012 by Chimcharizard I upvoted. commented Aug 28, 2012 by Poke'slash what the hell is this commented Sep 8, 2012 by Gʟɪɢᴜʀʀ Please log in or register to add a comment. 3 votes THE ALMIGHTY Double Battle Strategy Requirements: ![R][1] Raikou @ Life Orb Trait: Volt Absorb Evs: 4 Hp / 252 Spa / 252 Spe Timid Nature ~ Discharge ~ Hidden Power Ice ~ Substitute ~ Calm Mind Don't even ask.

Defense Trick Room Power Trick Stone Edge (Any Attack of Choice) Wall first attack by opponent (Shuckle has the lowest speed of all Pokemon, so the first step shouldn't be that hard) Use Trick Room Use Power Trick (This will switch Shuckle's abysmal attack stat with it's high as hell defense) Sturdy the next attack by opponent (This is surefire but is difficult. If you Shuckle does not have Sturdy, though unreccomended, use Focus Sash) Stone Edge + Boost by Rock Gem = Instant Kill Since Trick Room is still up, continue using Stone Edge. After that, Shuckle is pretty much a sitting duck This isn't really a technique, but it is quite a decent gimmick. Just don't use against Ground or Steel Types with high defense. answered Aug 29, 2012 by Pokemod3 If you take a hit on the 1st turn, Sturdy will no longer activate.

Who Was Better: Bret Hart or Kurt Angle?
by, 06-30-2012 at 01:17 PM (13072 Views)
It's been over two months since the last edition of 'Who was better?' so a couple of quick points. Firstly, I'd like to thank everyone for the fact that the last edition had over 10,000 views and almost 60 comments. I made this blog series with the intention of creating debate, so the more people leaving comments, the better.
Secondly I should announce the winner of the last edition, which was between The Undertaker and Sting.
The winner with a monster 40 votes was 'The Demon of Death Valley' The Undertaker, who dominated Sting's 8 votes.
In this edition of 'Who was better?' we're looking at two technical, mat-based, submission specialists who outmanoeuvred legends on their way to the top. Both were King of the Ring winners, multiple-time WWE Champions and Royal Rumble winners.
But who was better: Bret Hart or Kurt Angle?
Bret Hart
One of the legends of the nineties, Bret 'The Hitman' Hart brought a new class of wrestling to the WWE Championship. During a decade at the top-level he battled the likes of The Undertaker, Yokozuna and British Bulldog as well as propelling Stone Cold, Shawn Michaels and his brother, Owen Hart, to the main event.
A star of the WWE at a time when the company was at its weakest, 'The Hitman' was a main-eventer for a company in transition. The megastars of the previous decade, Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair, stepped back from the limelight and towards WCW and the supposed heir to Hogan's crown, The Ultimate Warrior, failed to deliver as he struggled against his personal demons. It was then left to Hart to carry the company on his back. It should be noted that this was before Shawn Michaels made the step up to the top level.
He also signalled a transition from the powerhouse wrestling of old to a slower-paced, submission based style. He showed that you didn't have to be a 300-pound steroid monster to hold the attention of the crowd and that was reflected in the quality of his matches. For over a decade he was the standard bearer of exceptional wrestling mixed with good storytelling and was arguably Mr WrestleMania before Shawn Michaels.
In my opinion his top ten matches in no particular order were:
- Vs British Bulldog – Summerslam 1992
- Vs Shawn Michaels – WrestleMania 12
- Vs Undertaker – One Night Only 1997
- Vs Roddy Piper – WrestleMania 8
- Vs Stone Cold – WrestleMania 13
- Vs Owen Hart – WrestleMania 10
- Vs Mr Perfect – King of the Ring 1993
- Vs Diesel – Survivor Series 1995
- Vs Chris Benoit – Nitro 1999
- Vs Mr Perfect – Summerslam 1991
Like many of the best performers Hart had the ability to take a lower calibre of wrestler to a great match and the higher calibre of wrestler to an excellent match.
One of Hart's rare weaknesses was his confidence and charisma on the mic. It was quite a contrast to see his on-screen confrontations with his rival, Shawn Michaels, and while the DX-bound Michaels was able to adapt to the adult-nature of the 'Attitude Era', Hart always seemed uncomfortable with the new brand of wrestling. He represented an older-style of mat-based wrestling that seemed old-fashioned compared come the turn of the century.
It shouldn't be forgotten that although Bret was a brilliant as solo performer, his roots in WWE we firmly entrenched in the tag team system. As one half of the Hart Foundation, along with Jim Neidhart, he was part of the original revolution of tag team wrestling. The Foundation, as well as The Rockers and the Nasty Boys (when they were young and talented) were huge reasons that tag wrestling in the WWE changed from two wrestlers being in a team, to partners working as a team, in unison.
In conclusion it is difficult to think of better wrestlers during the nineties. Aside from Shawn Michaels, there have been few other wrestlers who could consistently perform at the level that Hart executed.
Kurt Angle
Debuting at a time when 'Attitude' was at its peak and when charisma was the primary tool in being successful in the WWE, Kurt Angle immediately stood out. His three I's (Intelligence, Integrity and Intensity) and all-American hero persona made him a pure-comedy heel.
Over the next six years the gold medallist became a Euro-Continental Champion, a Tag Team Champion, a World Heavyweight Champion, a WWE Champion, a Royal Rumble and KOTR winner and wrestled every main eventer, from Hogan to The Rock, Austin to Taker and from Lesnar to Triple H. He not only faced them but created many classic moments and memorable matches with them.
By 2006 he was at his absolute peak and he went on to join TNA and work on making more moments. His matches with Samoa Joe, including the incredible MMA-style match, elevated the TNA original to new levels and made him a deserved champion, the same way he had done with 'The Next Big Thing' years before.
What was most impressive about Angle during his early years in the WWE was his ability to deliver a great comedy promo and suddenly transform into an intense predator in the ring. His promos with Edge and Christian, a heel Stone Cold and John Cena were hilarious and unfortunately that side of his personality is something that he'd lost by the end of the decade.
As an in-ring performer Angle had everything. He had unrivalled athleticism (he perfected the moonsault), devastating submission skills (compare his ankle lock to Swagger's version), a great mix of power and technical moves and a brilliant use of reversals. Although I tend to say this about every great wrestler, Angle lifted others to the top level, perhaps better than any other (remember how good Cena looked on his debut?). Deservedly he was voted the wrestler of the decade by the Wrestling Observer.
In my opinion his best ten matches in no particular order were:
- Vs Shawn Michaels – WrestleMania 21
- Vs Undertaker – No Way Out 2006
- Vs Brock Lesnar – WrestleMania 19
- Vs Samoa Joe – Lockdown 2008
- Vs Stone Cold – Summerslam 2001
- Vs Chris Benoit – Royal Rumble 2003
- Vs The Rock – No Way Out 2001
- Vs Samoa Joe – Genesis 2006
- With Chris Benoit Vs Rey Mysterio and Edge – No Mercy 2002
- Vs Mr Anderson – Lockdown 2010
(I'll point out that I've never seen much of TNA so I couldn't say too much about that stage of his career, but I have watched these chosen TNA matches on YouTube to see how good they are)
In conclusion perhaps the greatest compliment I could pay Angle is that I see him as possessing the same technical and submission skills as Hart but also having the athleticism and intensity of Michaels. He is the perfect blend of that old-school mat-based wrestling and the modern, faster-paced mix of power and skill.
Now it is up to you to decide.
Who was better: Kurt Angle or Bret Hart?

The SSRI paroxetine (Paxil) is generally discouraged during pregnancy. Some research suggests that Paroxetine may be associated with a small increase in fetal heart defects.
In addition, monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) — including phenelzine (Nardil) and tranylcypromine (Parnate) — are generally discouraged during pregnancy. MAOIs might limit fetal growth.
If you take antidepressants throughout pregnancy or during the last trimester, your baby might experience temporary discontinuation symptoms — such as jitters or irritability — at birth. However, tapering dosages near the end of pregnancy isn't generally recommended. It's not thought to minimize newborn withdrawal symptoms. In addition, it might pose challenges for you as you enter the postpartum period — a time of increased risk of mood and anxiety problems.
The decision to continue or change your antidepressant medication is up to you and your health care provider. Concerns about potential risks must be weighed against the possibility that a drug substitution could fail and cause a depression relapse.
If you stop taking antidepressants during pregnancy, you risk a depression relapse. In addition, stopping an SSRI abruptly might cause various signs and symptoms, including:
If you have depression and are pregnant or thinking about getting pregnant, consult your health care provider. Sometimes mild to moderate depression can be managed with psychotherapy, including counseling or other therapies. If your depression is moderate to severe or you have a recent history of depression, the risk of relapse might be greater than the risks associated with antidepressants.
Deciding how to treat depression during pregnancy isn't easy. The risks and benefits of taking medication during pregnancy must be weighed carefully. Work with your health care provider to make an informed choice that gives you — and your baby — the best chance for long-term health.

Did you know?
The Southern African Large Telescope is powerful enough to detect a candle flame on the moon.
You're about to travel through a barren, ancient land where you can practically touch the stars at night, where the horizon stretches forever, and where you are welcome at many a farmer's dinner table.
This journey of starry skies begins in the small Northern Cape town of Sutherland, right outside the Art Deco farmers' co-op, where we meet Sutherland's primary champion, one Jurg Wagenaar. He tells us all about the upper Karoo region while he settles us into our rooms at the Kambrokind Guest House.
We've made an appointment for a night tour of the Southern African Large Telescope, which is on a hill outside Sutherland. It's a fascinating 90-minute tour, during which we get to look at fascinating objects up in space through special telescopes dedicated for use by visitors. We don't bother the busy astronomers, but our guide answers all our questions.
Some time spent with the stars up on that hill is definitely one of the highlights of any trip to the Northern Cape, and a great way for us to start this journey. (Just a note, if you're planning to do this tour, book well in advance, as they don't run every day).
The next morning we take a winding dirt road through the Roggeveld mountains to the small settlement of Middelpos. At the Middelpos Trading Store, where the interior could be a movie set depicting the 1950s, we buy old-style boiled sweets wrapped in paper cones and walk around the kennels full of boerbul dogs – one of the main Karoo breeds.
There's a bit of a commotion down near the shop, and we wander past it, right into a sheep auction. We stay for a few minutes, drinking in the country atmosphere and having a look at the livestock on display.
We're booked into the nearby Tankwa Karoo National Park for the night, one of South Africa's driest reserves. This is not a game park like, say, the Kruger National Park, which is all about the Big 5 and game drives. The Tankwa is where you use your 'desert eyes' and learn to spot the small things in life – and then look up and gasp at the wide-angle space around you.
At sunrise the next morning, after a great evening spent at our lodge, sitting on the porch outside and drinking in the heavens, we catch the early light.
The succulents open first, and we record this with our cameras. Then the spiders finish their morning webs and trap breakfast for themselves, while a beetle leaves a drunken track in the sand.
We go for a walk after coffee and rusks, and suddenly, amid all this solitude, we understand why the Tankwa is such a beloved place. You're about as wonderfully far from home as you'll ever be.
At mid-morning, we check out and head north on the R355 to Calvinia, a true Karoo town and one of its most hospitable. We meet up with Alta Coetsee of the Hantam Huis guest houses, where we check in, and she shows us her herd of fluffy lamas. At suppertime we are well wined and dined, with our memory banks full of the wide spaces and night skies of the starry Karoo.

How to get here
Sutherland lies approx. 350km east of Cape Town (about a four-hour drive). Take the N1 and turn left at Matjiesfontein on the R354 for 110km.
Best time to visit
This area is best visited in spring (August to October) and autumn (April to May).
Around the area
If you're in the upper Karoo in early September, don't miss the Williston Winter Festival.
Tours to do
There are a number of tours to do in the Sutherland area – check with the front desk at the Kambrokind Guest House.
Get around
Your best travel bet is to hire a car from Cape Town and drive yourself.
What will it cost
Visits to the Southern African Large Telescope centre outside Sutherland cost R50 per person, and accommodation rates along this route are inexpensive. Rates at the Tankwa Karoo National Park are in line with regular SANParks rates.
Length of stay
Set aside three days for this journey if you can.
What to pack
Always pack something warm for the nights, which can get chilly, particularly in winter (May to August). Remember to pack binoculars if you have them; likewise take along the shortest, most macro-friendly lens for your camera.
Where to stay
Recommended are the Kambrokind Guest House in Sutherland, the park accommodation in the Tankwa Karoo National Park, and the Hantam Huis guest houses in Calvinia.
What to eat
You will be doing a fair amount of self-catering in the middle of the trip, but in Sutherland and Calvinia you will find wholesome and delicious meals.
What's happening
Calvinia has a great meat festival in late August.

First time poster here, and newbie to Python. I am currently working on a script that will decode something for me. So the long and short of my problem/question is how do I print a character from a specific position? Something like below:
##What the script will be looking through
Please use code tags when you post code like it has been edited below, Thanks
- Code: Select all
str = 'ahgaofihoibjgointu24bfew8yb89'
find_o = str.find('o')
print find_o
should print:
This is because it simply prints the position the character it is looking for. What I am looking for is I tell it to "print find_o" and it prints the character in the fourth position. Does anyone know how I can achieve this? Thank you in advance.

Release Notes: Output is flushed after writing the spamicity header to avoid deadlocks in certain configurations. When the database is near its size limit, read access is still allowed. Rtable (verbose) header formatting was made RFC-2822 compliant. BerkeleyDB-related ./configure lockups on OpenBSD were worked around. The Berkeley DB file size notice is printed only once per run.
Release Notes: Several fixes were made. An incompatibility with GNU make 3.81 was resolved. Assorted minor changes were made.
Release Notes: Some parts of the documentation have been corrected and cleaned up. A bug in the SQLite3 driver was corrected that could COMMIT rather than ROLLBACK after an error. The ./configure help texts have been revised. "make rpm" now includes SQLite3-based RPMs (easier to use) and provides shared and semi-static binary RPMs for Linux. A maintainer support script to build low-dependency .a (static) versions of BerkeleyDB 22.214.171.124 and SQLite3.2.8 was added. bogoutil now understands the -O option to redirect its output.
Release Notes: Minor FAQ updates and corrections were made. The configure script aborts if the ar(1) command cannot be found. Berkeley DB 4.4 is now supported.
Release Notes: This is a release candidate for 1.0.0. TDB support was dropped. Unicode (UTF-8 only) support was added. Berkeley DB transactional store no longer needs lock table sizing. The SQLite3 driver is faster now and checks the database library version to avoid accidents. Some SunOS, IRIX OS, and MIPS architecture portability fixes were made. Several important fixes to character set, HTML, binary attachment, and MIME processing were made. The shell scripts should now work on any POSIX sh, not just bash. The "undeclared charset" default is now ISO-8859-1.
Release Notes: The "retry transaction" logic was fixed. Compilation and running with --enable-iconv and with Unicode were fixed. Bogofilter now supports a -q option to suppress printing statistics. The SQLite3 interface is a lot more CPU efficient now, and it uses an index that users can add to existing databases with "sqlite3 ~/.bogofilter/wordlist.db 'CREATE INDEX bfidx ON bogofilter(key,value);'".
Release Notes: bogofilter can now use Berkeley DB's transactional mode for database integrity/durability and better concurrency. bogofilter can now also use SQLite 3.2.0 to store its tokens in a robust, easy-to-maintain, but slightly slower database. bogofilter now defaults to tri-state classification (Spam/Ham/Unsure instead of Yes/No). The QDBM database driver was switched to use B+ trees for better performance. The documentation has been improved.
Release Notes: This release corrects a bf_resize bug. It is a candidate for stable release.
Release Notes: The Berkeley DB store allows run-time choice of transactional (TXN) vs. classic (default) mode, with auto-detection for existing databases. Option and filename processing is more consistent now. bogoutil has new options. The new options and the bf_* scripts help to maintain TXN databases. The SQLite driver supports byte-swapped use. Usability improvements were made on Solaris. Lots of bugfixes were made.
Release Notes: New database maintenance options for bogoutil have been added. Portability fixes for Berkeley DB 3.1/3.2, OS/2 have been made. SQLite3 3.0.8 or newer is now supported.

Q. Hello Honk. Happy Friday. I have noticed that the white lines in the parking lots of most shopping centers and food markets have changed to green. It is very hard to see the green lines at night, especially in parking lots with poor lighting. What is the law regarding parking-lot lines, and what reason was there to go and change the color from white to green? It is not value added. Please comment.
– Jaime Kwan, Irvine
A. Yes, Fridays are dandy, Jaime, and it sounds like you do a lot of shopping in Irvine.
In Irvine, the parking-space stripes are usually white, unless a developer asks for a waiver, like the Irvine Co. did long ago, said Craig Reem, the city's spokesman.
(Even on private property, handicap parking slots must always have blue lines.)
You were likely in an Irvine Co. center, so Honk talked with Mike Lyster, a spokesman for the Irvine Co.
"We work hard to ensure our shopping centers are the most attractive around with inviting courtyards and fountains, cushioned outdoor seating and wide walkways that add to the customer experience," he said in an email. "The parking stripes, which we first painted green more than 15 years ago, are an example of our approach to creating an attractive sense of place.
"We have not received any feedback regarding parking stalls at our centers."
Q. Hi Honk. Over the past couple of months, I have noticed that about one out of three cars is sporting a license plate that has "dmv.ca.gov" on the bottom of the plate. Are these state vehicles and, if so, why are there Land Rovers, Escalades, Lexus cars and other pricey models being used?
– Carole Hutchings,
Laguna Niguel
A. Don't worry, the Tax Man won't be cutting into your paycheck more than he already does so government employees can drive about in fine style – well, it won't be tied to the trend you have noticed, anyway.
A couple of years ago, the Department of Motor Vehicles began putting its website address on new license plates as a way to encourage motorists to go there to do a lot of business instead of having to slog through a DMV line.
Honk, who finds many government websites virtually useless, has high praise for the DMV's. He just renewed his license online so he could avoid a long line and spend more time researching questions from Honk Land.
Got a question? Contact Honk at firstname.lastname@example.com.

>Racing>Racing in the cold
I've raced down to 12 w/o thinking my performance suffered. I think it wold get tough lower than 10. I'm willing to try and find out.
Glad to hear it because I checked again and my forecast has been downgraded to 13 degrees now.
Glad to hear it because I checked again and my forecast has been downgraded to 13 degrees now.
Same boat. Sunday looks like 10 to 12F here at 10:30 with 8-9mph winds. Should be fun.
Come all you no-hopers, you jokers and roguesWe're on the road to nowhere, let's find out where it goes
My race was a 16 miler and it was just cold. A 5K might have been a different story. The coldest I've raced a 5K was 18. I recall the active snowstorm was a bigger deal than the temp.
I have a weekly 5-miler I've run yearround. (Cambridge area)
Person of Interest
I did a New Year's Day 5k where it was barely 20F and windy. It was OK. A few years back, it was 5F for our local turkey trot. The biggest issue was the cold air hurting my lungs... needed a face mask. I'd agree that anything under 10F is not going to be pretty if there's wind.
Good luck!
Same boat. Sunday looks like 10 to 12F here at 10:30 with 8-9mph winds. Should be fun.
This'll be a 15k so hopefully won't be terrible. No snowstorm and no wind.
Good luck to you too...now I'm wondering how much shoveling 18 inches of snow the day before a race will affect performance.
Just calling it strength training...
I've got a race this afternoon. It's gonna be about 30 degrees but with winds up to 36mph. 36?!? This is gonna be interesting.
Same here in Virginia, 33 degrees at the start.. Gusts over 32 mph for the VIFL 14K. But... Even with the wind, busted out a PR improvement of over 4 minutes :-) Anything is possible it seems.....
The Plan '15 → /// "Run Hard, Live Easy." ∞
here in canada -8 c 25 cm snow 8mile race next sunday
Ended up being 12, feels like 4 at guntime. I wore compression shorts, tights, LS tech shirt, SS tech shirt, wind breaker, and beanie. That was just about perfect. I didn't feel too warm or too cold. I had a good race and didn't feel like the temps slowed me down at all, so thanks for all the feedback! There were two miles that were pretty slippery and that affected my pace but I still managed to PR (Ok it was my first 15k so an auto-PR ... but I was pretty happy with the race). And I was complimented on my beautiful eyelash-sicles.
Those winds sound awful. KL Duke, nice job PRing in that - crazy!!
Hope your race went well youngoffender!
fooster - good luck to you!
I ran a five mile race yesterday morning, 21F at the gun. Have been training outdoors all winter, including several runs at colder temps. This was new.
I ran it pretty hard and that post-race burning lung feeling took a long time to go away, and today they still feel sore. Never been a smoker but it reminds me of the way my lungs felt after spending a night out in smoky bars. I am wondering if hard running in this weather is counterproductive.
18-20F here yesterday for race. No wind. Full sun. No measurable effect on performance. Was totally fine. Hat, gloves, tights, short sleeve under long sleeve.

The first thing we noticed was the stunningly large TV presence - I was expecting cameras but for some reason the scale of it all amazed me.
I did feel like a bad mother when my little ones told us we'd never taken them to see the Palace before - we've done museums galore but not "the sights". Time to set that right with a look at the balcony - and an explanation that the next time they see it on TV there will be lots of people in big hats standing on it.
We had a quick whizz round the Royal Mews to look at the horses and carriages and take bets as to which coach will be used - I'm pretty sure it won't be one of these:
or this one (though the girls think it should be!)
A march down a refreshingly traffic free Mall took us to Horseguards Parade where even our equine companions were suffering from hay fever. (Did I mention the pollen? And the dust? Blimey.)
We tried to show the girls 10 Downing Street - and I'll show my age my revealing that one of my earliest memories is of being taken to stand outside the house itself where I'm sure my parents gave me exactly the same serious description of its importance as we gave our girls. I think they took about as much notice as I did ...
Can you believe we've never even taken them to see Big Ben? What kind of monsters are we?!
And then what was, for me, the highlight - going in to Westminster Abbey which I have not done since I was a teenager taking a German pen pal to see the sights. It is a glorious place - the building itself is stunning but it's filled with so many gems - and we were lucky enough to be shown some extra special highlights by a friendly verger - he allowed the girls to climb through the Queen's own special door to her seat in the choir stalls (complete with embroidered booster cushions) , showed us Dick Whittington and his cat in one of the stained glass windows and even let us under the rope in front of Isaac Newton's memorial to show us the details of the carving you can normally only see from 20 feet away. Be still, my beating geek heart!
Sadly no photography allowed inside, but when we see this shot from these cameras on Friday, we can say - we were there! The girls said it was their "best day ever". It was certainly one to remember.
To those of you who are planning to watch, have a lovely day - we have our wedding feast planned! - and I hope that those of you who have no interest in it can spend the day doing something you enjoy too.

SevenRiddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
There are seven parts to this riddle,
Each is part of a greater whole.
You see most of these,
Everyday as you please:
First is what I did to a book yesterday,
Second mixes with apples.
Third is a shout, then "ouch" you say,
Fourth shares the sound of mean.
Fifth is what the wind had done,
The sixth is often skipped.
The last and final can be called by two names,
If roses are this, then which is the blue one?
AnswerThe 7 Colors of the Rainbow
Red: read a book
Orange: apples and oranges
Yellow: Yell and Ow
Green: Rhymes with "Mean"
Blue: The wind "blew"
Indigo is often skipped
Violet: Roses are red, Violets are blue.
