A must read for any Black Stallion fan
posted 6 years ago
This is another in the series of Black Stallion books that I read when I was a young girl. The original is my favorite, but this is a great story and I would recommend it for anyone who loves horses and especially the Black Stallion. It is a fast and enjoyable read that I think could be enjoyed at any age.
Pros: enjoyable read
Cons: none

I have seen a nice intro wich i really would like to use on my website to create a wow-factor on my site. When i watched the movie Transformers i saw the menu of it and brought me up to this idea.
This is what i am talking about: http://www.rhjvisscher.nl/Example/Example.html
What i want to have is an identical thing on my website. Offcourse not the arm and the cube in the center. I want to place this in the top part of my website and use it for references of my customers.
So every image is a logo of a company and when you click it a page will be opened with the story of my customer.
I have found some carousel things on this website and they are really nice, but nowhere near as nice as this one.
Is there someone who could make this?
I don't have exactly that type of carousel, but I'm currently in the process of creating some original carousels that will be posted on flashden. If you want to wait, you'll see. I could provide you with some screenshots of the ones that are almost done, if you like. Just drop me a line if you're interested.
I can do it also, you can contact me through my profile.

Originally written on Fox Sports Florida | Last updated 11/13/14
The agent for center Greg Oden said Thursday he's "100 percent" certain his often-injured client will be back playing in the NBA next season. But he said rumors Oden could end up with Miami Heat this season in order to rehab are "extreme." With Miami playing at Portland on Thursday, there has been speculation the Heat, who can open up a roster spot, could soon sign the 2007 No. 1 draft pick. He then would be under the care of their doctors until returning to play next season. Mike Conley, the agent for Oden, said in a phone interview with FOX Sports Florida it is an option Oden could sign with an NBA team this season for rehab purposes. But he said he's heard nothing at all from the Heat since Oden was waived by Portland last March. "Greg Oden will be playing in the NBA next season, I'm 100 percent sure of that," Conley said of his client, who turns 25 on Jan. 22 and hasn't played in an NBA game since December 2009. "But I haven't had any talks with the Heat. I have talked to sev...

Does anyone know rules for drop 3rd strike? I know if 1rst base is occupied then she is automatically out at the plate. Bases loaded 1 out, girl strikes out and catcher drops it. Catcher is confused b/c her coach tells her to step on home plate. Other coach yells for her girl to run, catcher throws to 1rst, runner steals home, first baseman throws home, girl who struck out runs to 2nd causing catcher to throw down. Another run scores. Ump calls everyone safe except the girl who struck out who is now standing on 2nd. Is this the right call Please explain.
I'm a bit confused by your scenario. A dropped 3rd strike, w/ bases loaded with less than 2 outs, batter is out and nobody should be throwing anywhere.
If catcher started throwing ball around and runners advanced, they are free to do so except for batter. She is/was out and shouldn't be on base paths.

OpenGL SDK compilation problems
I have been trying to build some of the code in nVidia's OpenGL SDK, but there are some things the compiler doesn't like. Following a suggestion from an nVidia person, I upgraded to gcc 3.0. This eliminated many errors, but left one that prevents me from building a program I'm particularly interested in, the ASE read utility src/libs/nv_util/ase.cpp. The error message is:
In file included from ase.cpp:20:
/usr/local/include/NVIDIA/glh_linear.h:1572: template-id `operator==<>' for
`bool glh::ns_float::operator==<>(const glh::ns_float::plane&, const
glh::ns_float::plane&)' does not match any template declaration
/usr/local/include/NVIDIA/glh_linear.h:1575: template-id `operator!=<>' for
`bool glh::ns_float::operator!=<>(const glh::ns_float::plane&, const
glh::ns_float::plane&)' does not match any template declaration
Can someone suggest the source of this error (my C++ knowledge is rudimentary)? Alternatively, if anyone has developed an ASE reader in C/C++ I'd be happy to be given it.
Gib Bogle
How do I turn off the silly faces??!!
FWIW, I checked out the nvsdk from the CVS server, see http://developer.nvidia.com/docs/IO/...#update_manual
I was then able to cd into OpenGL/src/libs/nv_util/ and do a make without incident. This was on a RedHat 7.2 system using the supplied "2.96" version of gcc. (Now, actaully compiling the demos is another issue.)

SESAME farmers in southern regions have been urged to stop selling the oil crop to middlemen who underpay them and instead sell it at the indicative price set by the government.
That was said by Lindi Regional Commissioner (RC), Mr Ludovick Mwananzila, in an interview with the 'Daily News' when reacting to complaints by farmers over insignificant benefits they were getting from sesame farming.
"We have set an indicative price of 2,500/- per kilo for all buyers of the sesame oil crop but some small traders have been coming here and trying to buy the crop at a price less than the one we have set and after that they go and sell it at a higher price to merchants," he said.
He urged farmers to sell the crop at the indicative price for their own benefit as there were enough agents assigned by the government for the purpose.
However, speaking earlier with the 'Daily News', one of the middlemen who identified himself as Matipwa Matipwa, a resident of Kibiti in Rufiji district, Coast region, said that they were forced to buy the crop from farmers at the low price of 2,200/- or even lower than that because there were not enough agents.
"After buying and transporting the crop from farmers we also go and sell it to other agents earmarked by the government.
Due to the limited number of buyers, having in mind that supply is higher than demand, the price will always remain low," he said.
An aggravated farmer, Mr Ndatulu Charles, pointed out that despite much effort he put in the farming of the crop the benefits he were deriving from his labour were minimal because they sold at a very low price.

Adoree' Jackson to play both ways in spring gameApril 9th, 2015, 6:38 pm by By MICHAEL LEV
Quick hitters from USC's 14th spring practice Thursday, the final workout before Saturday's spring game at the Coliseum:
* USC coach Steve Sarkisian said Adoree' Jackson would play on offense and defense in the spring game. How much of each is to be determined.
* Defensive end Claude Pelon returned to practice after missing Tuesday to focus on schoolwork.
* Pelon had a small brace on his upper left arm; he dinged his shoulder Saturday. It didn't keep him out of any drills in the no-pads practice
* Safety John Plattenburg, limited Tuesday because of an ankle injury, worked with the second-team defense. He didn't appear to be 100 percent.Read the rest of this entry »

Great for healthy teeth!
posted 6 years ago
I feed these as a treat as well as to help their teeth, and as you know you are suppose to feed about 1 biscuit per seven pounds of dog weight, right. well they just enjoy them as treats or rewards. Multi flavor suits every ones enjoyment.
Pros: dogs like them, as well as horses
Cons: having to use them

What is the players' share?
Roger Federer, President of the ATP Player Council, continues to be involved in negotiations to get players more money. (Nadal and Djokovic were on the Council but they have left.) I know there was a thread on this a ways back (and some threads on WTA money), but my question relates to what portion actually goes to the players. An article in the New York Times last month said player prizes were "believed" to be 20-30% of revenues of "ATP events" but the article also estimated players get 17% of the AO revenues, and at the US Open, 11%.
Are these percentages accurate? Let's look at the O2 right now. Average cost of a seat maybe at least $ 200 (about 125 pounds). I know there are some cheaper seats but as the week draws on, there are no cheap seats and you can pay thousands of pounds for the best seats.
The tourney fills 18,000 seats, twice a day. 8-day tourney. That is 288,000 tickets at $200 = over $56 million. Sponsors pay ?? Say they pay equal to ticket receipts. Plus the tourney gets money for TV rights and from concessions. My estimates and/or math could be off but I think the tourney could be grossing $200 million or more.
The player participation fees and prizes are posted. Total prizes for singles are about $7.5 million, assuming they pay out a $1 million bonus for undefeated champion. Doubles prizes are about one-third as much as singles. So we are at $10 million for the players, from $200 million for the tourney.
That would be 5% of revenues to the players. Just a first stab guess. Anybody know more or care to comment?
Ha but true
you have to subtract all costs first before you can calculate the players share. still they should probably get more but you shouldn't underestimate the costs of such a tournament.
I think the issue is a bit more involved then a simple look at the gross tournament revenue verse the players cut, however, for USO it's approximately 14% of tournament revenue based on 2010 numbers.
About 177 million in tournament revenue and 25 million in prize money. It's public information.
Yeah, as dominikk1985 says above, you have to include the costs of the event.
- Hiring the dome for 2 weeks (they have to set up the court etc) would cost in the millions.
- Lighting - hundreds of thousands for an event like that
- Getting the tennis courts installed (including the practice court), wouldn't be surprised if costs crept up near a million.
- signage, posters, media placement - millions of dollars
- design work - tens of thousands or more per year
- staff - in the millions of dollar once you consider all the staff needed for an event like this (a GM, doctors, security, chefs, hosts, selectors/trainers for the ballkids)
- tv gear - specialist sport coverage also including the tech for all the commentator's booths to be hooked up/wired in.
- Hawkeye hiring
- Media centre space
- Accounting/legal consultancy
Costs for events like these are plenty and add up very quickly. I doubt we'll see the operating budget for it anytime soon.
FWIW, the revenue calculations in the original post seem high also.
World Tennis magazine claimed the USO 2012 took in $218 million and players' take was 8.6%.
I have a feeling the ATP executives don't reveal costs, which would include salaries that are rumored to be rather high for their skill level. I'd wager pro tennis has a lot of good ol' boy stuff going on and the players are getting shafted.
That's what happens when you have an unorganized group of players that have no real negotiating leverage.
if you look on tennis.com under players and rankings sub-banner along the top there is a prizemoney list...
only the world top 22 rank earned over $1 million..for the whole year..whats that ? about £800'000 ??..its about 4 weeks pay for wayne rooney..
ok the top 10 are getting plenty but itsmeant to be a global sport but alot of players get provincial pay..all the top 150-200 players should be getting way more..in england/britain we often hear of men / women giving up tennis because they can have a stable salary, and/or earn more as an ex-pro tennis coach somewhere.
It's an interesting list, top 100 by earnings, I guess it's year to date. Pre-expense, pre-tax. I wonder what typical pro player expenses are.

A requirement of the USTA's tax-exempt status is to make public disclosure of its financials using IRS Form 990.
I got $177 million (rounded down) from line item "tournament related" in Part VIII "statement of revenue." I ignored $1.3 million of "tennis program fees" because I don't know what it means and not sure it is USO related and I ignored "ball tests fees" as immaterial. Call it 178 if you prefer -- it doesn't effect the players percent much.
I got $25 million (rounded down) in prize money from the line item "event prize money/other" in Part IX "statement of functional expenses."
Those two numbers were the components of the 14% figure representing the players share of the tournament revenue.
There is about $47 million of "tennis tournament" revenue that shows up on the National Tennis Center (an affiliated entity of the USTA) Form 990 that would get you to $224 but I assume (but do not know for sure at first glance) if I slogged through the rules that the $47 is included on the USTA form in the $178. (The $47 million appears to represent admissions and merchandise only.)
On your other point, the USTA is not "atp executives." The USTA, again related to its tax exempt status, must disclose compensation for officers, directors, key employees and highest compensated employees as well as independent contractors.
It must also disclose its expenses.
Fascinating and helpful information! It is amazing what you can get online these days, and of course from knowledgeable people.
Question remains, though, are the players getting shafted?
Figures are murky. USTA reported in 2011 Total Revenue of $205M. I really doubt NTC revenue is in there -- why would they report it twice? NTC revenue should be added (as is prize money), giving revenues more like $230 milion, closer to what Wall St. Journal reported in their article. USTA financial statement for 2008-9 is online at:
It lists US Open alone as generating over $200 M. The same statement says USTA owns most of Cincinnatti and some of Indian Wells, which may also be separately reported. So without more information, I don't see that we have a fair idea of USTA revenues.
On the player payout side, USTA reports "event prize money/other." I would take the published prizes list, as the articles originally cited did ($7.5 M), rather than USTA's unclear "prizes/other" figure, which is (surprise!?) much higher.
Maybe I am favoring the players, as clear underdogs in any contest against the owners, but so far my best guess is, player take = about 5%, or even lower.
I believe the revenue share is confidential information but I've heard 30/70, whereas most other sports(in the US) are much closer to 50/50.
Plus there are post retirement benefits, I think there is none or very little for ATP/WTA.
Also don't forget players have costs too, coaches, travel/lodging, Physios(for the top 10) maybe. otherwise they use the tournament ones.
^^ Comparisons with other sports are a little meaningless as many tennis (and golf) tournaments are run to benefit local charities or non-profit (by legal definition) national tennis organizations. Major sports leagues only divide revenue between players, owners, and expenses.
Also a lot of the major sports get a huge bulk of their revenue from TV contracts that are locked up for 5 years plus and are in the billions of dollars. Not sure how the TV contracts work for ATP/WTA, but they are def not as lucrative as those for NBA, NFL, MLB, premiership, etc. In addition many teams also have their own TV networks.
The top 10 would probably make 60% of the top 100 in that list

County Center to Serve the Frail Elderly
By Kathleen Kellogg
Cattaraugus County will soon be the only New York location and one of only 15 rural centers nationwide providing the frail elderly a range of services under the Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly, or PACE.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid services provided $500,000 to Community Care of Western New York, also known to the Olean community as HomeCare and Hospice, to establish Total Senior Care as a rural PACE program. PACE aims to keep seniors living on their own as long as possible by providing them comprehensive care at home or in an independent living situation, to keep costs down.
Total Senior Care will begin serving 10 patients Nov. 1 in its PACE Center, to be located in a new building now being constructed by Park Centre Development on North Union Street in Olean at the location of the former Eade's Fitness.
According to Kelly Dickerson, communications director for Total Senior Care's affiliated organization, HomeCare and Hospice, the center's population will grow to 205 within five years, with eligible frail elderly patients receiving a range of services at that location and at home. Services will include inpatient and outpatient primary care services, adult day care, home care, nutrition, primary care, specialty care, pharmacy and therapy, along with nursing home and other health services.
"The federal government wanted to cover the rural elderly population . . . Rural PACE doesn't exist [in rural New York]. It's brand new," Dickerson said. She noted that a three-year study showed her organization capable of managing the center for Cattaraugus County's frail elderly, who face transportation issues and have other special needs not seen in more-populated communities. The Cattaraugus County Legislature, which oversees two county nursing homes, voted unanimously Wednesday to support the effort, authorizing a six-month $25,000 contract that will develop Total Senior Care's programs. The funding will be taken from the county's 2006 Seneca Allegany Casino revenue allotment, which is earmarked for economic development.
"This is a very good program and it's going to help the county's senior care services," said Robert Neal, R-Randolph, the Legislature's Senior Services Committee chairman.
"The Cattaraugus County Department of the Aging and the Department of Social Services have been very supportive," Dickerson said. "They see it as adding another option for residents of Cattaraugus County. There is a growing wave of elderly coming, the baby boomers, and there are not enough services in place to take on that wave that's coming."
She said that care for each patient will be reviewed regularly by an interdisciplinary team and that Olean General Hospital will send doctors in to cover inpatient and outpatient medical appointments.

Any action against Satish Verma by State needs approval by review Bench of High Court'
The Gujarat High Court on Thursday appointed a 1980 batch IPS officer of the Maharashtra cadre, Satyapal Singh, chairman of the Special Investigation Team probing the alleged fake encounter killing of Ishrat Jahan.
A Division Bench also granted partial relief to the second SIT member, Satish Verma, a State cadre IPS officer, who sought court protection against any possible punitive action and departmental inquiry by the Gujarat government in connection with a 1993 case. Any action against Mr. Verma would be subject to approval by a review Bench of the High Court. The Bench postponed the hearing on his petition for protection till after the summer vacation.
The court's order came after Advocate-General Kamal Trivedi informed it that "action" had been recommended against Mr. Verma and was "pending before the highest authority" in the State. He, however, did not disclose the nature of action recommended against Mr. Verma by Additional Director-General of Police (Administration) Pramod Kumar, who was asked by the government to file a report on the High Court's recommendations.
The Bench of Justices Jayant Patel and Abhilasha Kumari came down heavily on the government for suggesting that the Ishrat case investigation be handed over to a Special Task Force, which will function under a Monitoring Authority formed to review all police encounter deaths in the State. The Bench asked the Advocate-General why the government was filing an affidavit containing the proposal for handing over the probe to the STF, after a similar suggestion was rejected by the court when the first SIT was formed last year under the then Delhi Joint Police Commissioner, Karnail Singh. He has since been transferred to Mizoram and was relieved by the High Court as SIT chief last month.
Now Dr. Singh, an Additional Director-General of Police in Maharashtra, would head the three-member SIT. The other two members are Mr. Verma and another State cadre IPS officer, Mohan Jha, who was earlier ordered by the High Court to look after only administrative matters of the SIT.
Mr. Verma, who was virtually given a free hand earlier by the High Court to "question anyone and arrest anyone" in connection with the case if evidence available with him warranted such action, moved the High Court on Wednesday seeking protection from a possible departmental inquiry. He also sought a review and recall of the court's earlier order that action be taken against him and two other police officials in connection with the Gosabara RDX landing case of 1993. Mr. Verma expressed apprehension that the government could use the court's order in the Gosabara case to take punitive action against him because of his involvement in the investigation into the high-profile Ishrat case.
Mr. Verma has already indicated that the 2004 encounter could be a case of staged shoot-out, sending the police officials involved in it running for cover. Fourteen policemen, including some IPS officers allegedly involved in the Ishrat encounter moved the High Court last month requesting that the probe be handed over to the CBI as they feared that Mr. Verma could act against them "with a vengeance."
In the RDX landing case, the High Court order for action also covered another IPS officer of the State cadre, Atul Karwal, and Inspector Sukhdevsinh Zala, who were facing allegations of having let off Sattar Maulana, a key accused, when they were posted in Porbandar in 1993. Part of the explosives, which landed in Gosabara, was later found to have been used in the Mumbai serial bomb blasts.
A former BJP MLA and practising advocate, Yatin Oza, moved the High Court in 2005 demanding action against the three police officers for allegedly endangering national security. A Division Bench of Chief Justice S. J. Mukhopadhyaya and Justice J. B. Pardiwala ordered the State government to act on the report, submitted by Mr.Kumar, on their roles in the case.
Mr. Verma, in his plea, pointed out that the State government had in 2005 accepted that Mr. Oza's petition did not qualify to be Public Interest Litigation and was filed "more out of personal vengeance." Now the government changed its stand on the issue and preferred to remain silent.

TrueTime Now Ships SAASM-Based Time and Frequency Receiver to Department of Defense and Authorized U.S. Allies.
SANTA ROSA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 13, 2002
TrueTime's Mark V Delivers GPS SAASM P(Y) Code Time and Frequency
TrueTime Inc. (Nasdaq:TRUE), the leading provider of precision time and frequency products to the U.S. Government, today announced that TrueTime's Mark V time and frequency receiver has been introduced with GPS SAASM receiver.
The Mark V receiver incorporates Selective Availability Anti Spoofing Module (SAASM) P(Y) Code Precise Positioning Service (PPS) technology and provides it to the Department of Defense (DoD) and authorized U.S. allies. TrueTime has supplied the DoD with ultra precise Mark V GPS P(Y) code receivers since 1997.
The next generation Mark V takes full advantage of the precision, accuracy and anti-spoofing capabilities of the SAASM P(Y) Code. The 12-channel, all in-view receiver corrects for Selective Availability and provides direct Y-code acquisition. The Mark V is augmented with Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM) Fault Detection and Exclusion per RTCA DO-229 to protect against satellite/system anomalies and spoofing. Using TrueTime's Mark V, the DoD and authorized Government customers can obtain the most reliable GPS-based timing possible with accuracy better than 10 nanoseconds to Universal Time Coordinated (UTC).
"The addition of SAASM approval enhances our capabilities to serve the vital needs for national security. We are very proud to once again be chosen as a preeminent supplier to the U.S. Government for our robust time and frequency products. Our next generation Mark V SAASM-based receiver provides the security, reliability and serviceability that our customers demand," said Scott Davis, TrueTime's director of instrumentation sales.
The superior performance levels achieved by the 1U (1.75-inch) rackmount Mark V are the result of a strategy based on accurate position determination, dual frequency GPS tracking, system integrity monitoring, multi-satellite ensembling techniques and a high-stability ovenized oscillator. Standard timing outputs from the Mark V include a 1 Pulse Per Second accurate to less than 10 nanoseconds rms to GPS/UTC, analog IRIG B time code and serial I/O time strings. Using the keypad or RS-232 port, users have control over a variety of time formats, configurations and output options, including GPS and oscillator status and controls.
The modular backplane architecture of the Mark V supports multiple time and frequency output options to address specific needs. These plug-in output modules can be incorporated at any time and significantly increase the clock adaptability to changing mission requirements. The base models support up to four single-height plug-in modules. Using the optional 3.5-inch high chassis, up to 10 single-height modules can be accommodated. Remote control over a local network is easy using TrueTime's Telnet network interface plug-in option. Using Telnet, users can remotely check the status and/or configure the Mark V. Most operations possible via the RS-232 port are also possible via Telnet. The network interface option supports Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) so that no user intervention is required for the Mark V to be network ready. Password protection is provided to maintain secure access to the unit.
The Mark V is also available in an airborne configuration.

Not exactly the "skip the line" we expected. The front desk people at the office were non-
attentive and gave very limited information other then pointing to the door to stand outside.
I would encourage Viator to choose other staff people that are interested in their clients or
choose another office to be more client oriented.

Absolutely fabulous and our guide Julia was a delight!

Not knowing whether the underlying operating system (Windows 7) is infected or not, is it safe to use LiveCDs to shop, bank, etc online without having to configure the firewall (e.g. iptables), antivirus, etc
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Super User is a question and answer site for computer enthusiasts and power users. It's 100% free, no registration required.
When you boot from a LiveCD in a PC, you are stopping the operating system installed on any of the hard disks in a PC from booting. It never becomes active, and so no viruses (which are just applications that run under an operating system) can run.
If the environment is untrusted, then you are more at risk from other devices on the same network than you are the actual PC you are using.
Having said that, linux is largely immune to Windows based viruses - there are very few cross-platform examples of malware.
Having said that again, adding a quick rule to iptables dropping any incoming connections from the local network can't hurt.
Update If you want to ensure the livecd environment is secure in itself, then consider a Secure Desktop live cd.

monday, august 26, 2013 - utah bdr repair day
for me, today involved plowing 2 hours through driving rain from price, utah to moab, utah. i wound up at moab powersports center south of town. before i can get back on the backcountry routes i need 3 things - a higher-mounted front fender, longer front brake lines, and probably a new set of tires.
playing around with my fender in the parking lot, i decided i could modify the original triumph fender and hang it from the triple clamp assembly. one problem solved.

the fine folks at the moto store happened to have one brake line that i could use to replace the U-section that wraps over the top of the tire, so i've got an appointment at 9am tomorrow morning to swap that out. i'm on the fence about replacing the tires - i'd kind of like to see if i could make it through the rest of the utah and colorado routes with the heidenau's i have on the tiger, proving their worth as a truly multi-purpose road/off-road tire. i know they work in sand from my time in south america. they just simply don't work in mud - but frankly, no tire will change the fact that i'm on a 490 lb. bike.
my cohort spent the day riding section 3, and he's just arrived at the downtown moab hotel i've secured for the night. he showed up looking dirty, but not as bad as we both were yesterday. he hit some heavy sand and more mud, some washed out roads, but he said he had a great time. i asked "would the tiger have made it today?" the answer: "absolutely not."
hopefully we are past the worse of the muck, and things will dry out as we head south. who knows. not the best timing to hit these backcountry routes. in dry conditions, they would be amazing for either of our bikes. in these freakish flooding conditions, it's anybody's guess as to who can pass and who can't. i'm just taking it as it comes, and having fun getting my macgyver on messing with the bike. i'll try to get some photos of travis' ride up later.

|Topics in Spatial Econometrics — With Applications to House Prices
Spatial effects in data occur when geographical closeness of observations influences the relation between the observations. When two points on a map are close to each other, the observed values on a variable at those points tend to be similar. The further away the two points are from each other, the less similar the observed values tend to be. Recent technical developments, geographical information systems (GIS) and global positioning systems (GPS) have brought about a renewed interest in spatial matters. For instance, it is possible to observe the exact location of an observation and combine it with other characteristics. Spatial econometrics integrates spatial aspects into econometric models and analysis.
The thesis concentrates mainly on methodological issues, but the findings are illustrated by empirical studies on house price data. The thesis consists of an introductory chapter and four essays. The introductory chapter presents an overview of topics and problems in spatial econometrics. It discusses spatial effects, spatial weights matrices, especially k-nearest neighbours weights matrices, and various spatial econometric models, as well as estimation methods and inference. Further, the problem of omitted variables, a few computational and empirical aspects, the bootstrap procedure and the spatial J-test are presented. In addition, a discussion on hedonic house price models is included. In the first essay a comparison is made between spatial econometrics and time series analysis. By restricting the attention to unilateral spatial autoregressive processes, it is shown that a unilateral spatial autoregression, which enjoys similar properties as an autoregression with time series, can be defined. By an empirical study on house price data the second essay shows that it is possible to form coordinate-based, spatially autoregressive variables, which are at least to some extent able to replace the spatial structure in a spatial econometric model. In the third essay a strategy for specifying a k-nearest neighbours weights matrix by applying the spatial J-test is suggested, studied and demonstrated. In the final fourth essay the properties of the asymptotic spatial J-test are further examined. A simulation study shows that the spatial J-test can be used for distinguishing between general spatial models with different k-nearest neighbours weights matrices. A bootstrap spatial J-test is suggested to correct the size of the asymptotic test in small samples.

"This was just the card we needed to send to family and friends for my son's graduation presents. I only used a photo with the words thank you on the front on the card. It was tasteful and just the right look."
"Just love this note card! I was planning just to order a simple card with a decorative name on it, but customizing it with two pretty photos was even better. The setup process was very easy and the finished quality was perfect!"
"This card was smaller than I was anticipating (should have checked the dimensions), but the paper was thick and textured and the photo print quality was excellent. Would definitely recommend for a cute, quality thank-you card."
"Picture quality was excellent and the design was really cute. I got a lot of compliments that it was a personalized thank you. Delivery came way before they said I would receive it, so that was also great."
"It was nice that the complimenting Graduation Thank You Card that matched the Graduation Announcement and the Return Address Labels. I liked that we were able to match this Card with the font to the same font and the color that was used on the graduation announcement. I liked that this announcement had the ability to hold two photos. This thank you card was a great accompaniment to the matching graduation announcement."

Travel & Trip
Hill-hiking @ Gunung Datuk, Rembau5
Gunung Datuk is a mountain with height of 880 meters (2900 feets) from sea level and is my first mountain hiking (approximately 3 hours – included rest) so far. My best achievement in doing what so call mountain and is located at Rembau, Negeri Sembilan.
Gunung Datuk @ Rembau
31 August 2009
It wasn't plan early but a group of enthusiastic outdoor peoples suggested and agreed on the place few weeks earlier. I was dragged into leading my group even though everybody was first time here. I'm still enjoying being an organizer anyway.
How to get there?
Architecture Museum of Malaysia2
Architecture Museum of Malaysia is one of the museum found in Malacca. In fact, there are many museums along the road, but due to time constraint I only managed to visit this museum. It's located at one of the building built during the Dutch administration of Malacca.
Architecture Museum of Malaysia, Melaka
Entrance fee is FREE. So, why not take a peek inside?
Inside the building, we can see a lot of architecture not only found in Malacca but the whole Malaysia. Again, there are many related to philosophy of architecture and cultural related art.
Kampung Cantik, Pengkalan Batu @ Melaka
"We invite you to check our threshold and bathe in the sight of our beautifully maintained flower garden. Admire our traditional Malay architecture and venture into our house to view priceless antique and bridal exhibits" – Welcome to Kampung Cantik, Pengkalan Batu.
The words coated on the board is really make us feel welcoming. This place actually located nearby Batu Berendam. I saw some buses stop by the road side and I thought it must be one of the tourist spot. I quickly park on the road side and saw an artful miniature traditional house.
Kampung Cantik, Pengkalan Batu @ Melaka
This is a common place for non-Malaysian to understand and know our culture and the surrounding. I seek to drop by to see what's so special about the place. Luckily no entrance fees charged as I follow the group together getting into the house. They thought I'm part of them…haha.
Malacca Sultanate Palace1
If you wonder how was the palace of Sultan Melaka look like, Melaka Sultanate Palace is the right place to visit. It's not the real palace but a replica that located at the foot of St Paul's Hill. According to the historical documents, the palace was built during Sultan Mansur Syah's era, who ruled from 1456 – 1477.
The Forbidden Garden Of The Palace Of The Malay Sultanate Of Melaka
22 August 2009
The entrance to the palace is rather easy and just nearby A Famosa Fort. The fees is just RM2 for adult and RM0.50 for child. We were given a plastic bag for our shoes to be carry on when enter into palace.
Broga Hill – Second Installment
As promised, I'll be back to Broga again for second installment. It's totally different and less exciting as hikers but as photographers. Anyhow, my trip this time has gained something that new to you. Stay tune for my photography and series of pictures…
Broga Hill @ Semenyih
8 August 2009
I didn't go with a big group this time, only three of us. We started at 7.00am and walked into the plantation area before hike to the top gradually.
Just want to give direction to first timer at Broga to take the RIGHT path when you come across this junction. It will lead you to better and safe route to the top.

The European Commission today proposed to strengthen the European Union's ability to respond to 'legal highs' – new psychoactive substances used as alternatives to illicit drugs such as cocaine and ecstasy.
Europe is facing new challenges in the field of drugs, notably illicit drug trafficking, the rapid spread of new psychoactive substances and reducing the demand for illicit drugs. The EU has unveiled plans to tackle these problems.
When developing policy and legislation, the European Commission consults widely with EU citizens and stakeholders through public consultations.

In the states companies aren't required to give you any paid sick leave at all.
Most if not all salaried positions do have it, but it's generally limited to like a week a year.

There's a reason I explicitly stated 'annual leave' in the poll choices. I personally can't imagine faking illness, because our company doctor is pretty good at detecting BS. lol The only time I ever took a sick leave in the years I've worked until now was when I went down with pneumonia.
Besides, I don't think people who fake their MCs gonna last long anyway.

Most places here either go on the honor system or don't care if you use sick days as vacation days. I've never heard of anything like a company doctor.

yeah, i'll schedule some time off when there's a game i'm really looking forward to. gotta love paid sick/vacation time, i always joke that i achieved my dream of getting paid to play video games.
If anything, I work harder so once I get home and I take off my shoes/socks/pants(?) and start them up, it's even more satisfyin' man..

In the states companies aren't required to give you any paid sick leave at all.
Which is a large portion of my point, without explicitly stating that nothing guarantees you get it. I'm admittedly 20 years old and have only worked for *very* small-scale companies with a handful of employees (Talking 20 people or less here) and relatively lax work schedules/sick leave/etc....
So I wasn't going to outright *say* that nothing is set in stone to say you 100% get sick days or not---Because the places I've worked at *didn't* have clear-cut rules for this; You played it by ear depending on how "Sick" you were, and how badly you were needed at work at the time.

I agree again... No "Company doctors" or any of that nonsense. You call in sick, you better be damn convincing or have a legitimate reason, because no one is checking to see if you are or not, and if you aren't and someone hears about it, you're up s*** creek.
