Dear all,
I have a question regarding statistical models. I have a cross-sectional data
with obs on people's use of health services (type of treatment, type
of services (free or on payment basis) expenditure on various heads,
source of funding illness episode, selection of provider etc), and
out-of-pocket expenditure. If a person didn't get free public
hospital, there is an observable out of pocket expenditure; if not, it
is 0.
Now I want to study two things from this data
1) The components of out-of-pocket expenditure, but there are lot of
missing information, as people tend to report the total expenditure on
last illness episode instead of the decomposition into expenditure on
drugs, diagnostics, consultations etc.
2) The probability of a person (experiencing illness) incurring any
out-of-pocket expenditure i.e. greater than 0. For finding the
probability I want to use the independent variables like edu, place of
living, income, type of service use etc.
I am confused about what models to use. It looks like a standard probit
model, with expenditure at 0.
Or using OLS regression with fixed effects for the obs where out of
pocket expenditure is greater than 0.
Thanks for clarifying this for me!

Vampires, like Dragons, used to be badass but have been raped in the ass so many times by furfags, Otherkin, and story writers that they are no longer recognizable as the mountains of awesome that they once were.
In Storytown Village, vampires are lithe, seductive, hypnotic creatures of the night who revel in bacchanalian pleasure-seeking and live wild and erotic unlives, who actually used to be cool. In Reality: clumsy, fat, socially inept, sartorially blinded fuck-ups that are so pathetic even the goths won't hang out with them anymore, who were never cool. Vampires are social rejects bent on acquiring AIDS from licking the blood off their 'victims' fingers in an odd, retarded expression of a fetish (which they claim isn't a fetish).
They try their best to mimic their mythological counter-parts; whether by slathering themselves in white make-up, wearing fake-fangs to "feel their Inner Predator" or by actually drinking blood, depending on the level of retardedness of the individual. Either way, they are a great source of epic lulz as their general lack of social skills lend them to be rather oblivious and egotistical.
Put simply, vampires are emo kids who have the gay gene turned up to 11. Aside from furries and otherkin, 'vampires' are probably the easiest group of societal ejaculate to troll.
Vampire Novels/Films/TV Shows
Vampires were once cool, and got to have books written about them which covered meaningful philosophical topics and weren't written by sexually confused women. Today, there are no good vampire novels. The only half-good vampires novel written in the past 75 years have both been written by men - McLendon's Syndrome, and Let the Right One In. The only thing worse than modern vampire stories written by women is vampire stories written by gay men.
All modern vampire stories are written by hacks as transparent sexual fantasies. All 'good' vampires, even ones from ancient European countries, are inexplicably liberal, and usually vote Democrat. Even if they don't live in America. Which totally makes sense if you're a fucktard liberal hipster with no conservative friends and an inflated sense of self-importance combined with no grasp of history.
Why People End Up Pretending
"Real" vampires usually start out as complete social failures that, having somehow missed all of the usual no-ego support groups like heavy metal fandom and comic book reading, end up scrabbling around in the absolute pits of subculture hell for the first group that will accept them.
Lacking confidence in themselves but too wrapped up in teenage pseudo-nihilism (which, oddly enough, can last well into their forties) to seriously consider religion, these losers gravitate toward other emotional crutches that can promise them uniqueness and a purpose in life. Basically, these losers are pretending to be vampires, so they can feel special. (In reality, they are actually retarded jerk-offs.) Vampirism promises these outcasts a reason for never quite fitting in, by giving them unfuckwithable occult powers, so their bullies from high school will totally regret having treated them like shit. And, unlike the otherkin, the mythical creatures that they're psychotically pretending to be are human-shaped and sexy, full of hot alluring glamor that is so darque that nobody can actually see it.
There follows a minimum of five years of flouncing around in ridiculous clothing (bought at Hot Topic), buying stupid pewter accessories and filling their bedrooms with white lace and imitation silver candelabras until one has become fully vampirique! There is an increased risk of taking up magic during this time. Many "vampires" change their names to things like "Raven Darkemoon," "Matthius BlackThorne," and "Lord Noctem Aeternus", because apparently vampires are not allowed to be called Stephanie, or Brad. Really, who could ever truly be afraid of the dark vampire Brad? Similarly, no one is afraid of someone named Matthius Blackthorne. (More like Fagius BackWhored, amirite?)
Typical hobbies include writing crappy poetry about crimson roses and wolves, listening to dreadful music, hanging around in graveyards, eating chips and crying.
A notion which many of these individuals contract is the belief that they are not really humans, but instead some sort of superior being. They use this reasoning to justify their consumption of human blood, thinking of themselves as predators and everyone else as prey. They tend to view "mundanes" (normal sane people) as either merely food, or nigras. So if you see a vampire coming,
get to the back of the bus ridicule them as they walk past you on the way to the back of the bus, pelting them with Twinkies as they go write poetry and Twilight fanfictions, tears welling up in their eyes.
Most "vampires" eventually grow out of it and become standard goths, but the hardcore continue on into their mid-forties. No vampires older than this have ever been seen. Have they truly stopped aging, to spend eternity at the nubile young age of thirty-nine?! Or do they just kill themselves once they hit their mid-life crisis and see how they've pissed away the one chance at youth they were ever going to get? Obviously the latter.
- Awakening occurs when feeling particularly butthurt after not getting a date for the prom, or maybe having your ass handed to you by the football team and deciding to put on your sister's makeup and hiss at strangers.
- House is a show on Fox. Also another word for an individual cult.
- Vampire Hunter is every basement dweller's worst fear: someone who hunts real vampyres!!1!11 They will usually work themselves into a paranoid frenzy over speculation of whether hunters actually exist.
- Posers and Losers is an all encompassing terms for the vampire community.
- Vampire, a douche
- Vampyre, pretentious douche
- Whampyyre, a cunt
- Donor or Black Swan is someone who the vampire stalks, rapes and steals blood from.
- Blood meth, crack, cocaine, etc
- Prana, Chi, Energy, Cum, Your life force which they suck out to make you one of them.
- Mundane, a sane person
- Cattle or Food, The cock that they crave.
- Sire is one who has converted someone to vampirism, because using twelfth-century terminology and spelling makes everything real. (See also: Magick)
- Strigoi is the typical Romanian middle-aged faggoth who pretends to be a vampire to get laid by high-school rejects. All these douches have to do is google up a couple of phrases in Romanian, put on a black trench coat and they're set. Vlad Strigoii is the name of a song by Ostrogoth, the most homoerotic gothic band out there, and a bunch of authentic vampires out there have adopted the alias, thinking it to be the REAL name of the REAL Dracula. Strigoii (noun 'Strigoi' with definitive article 'i', both forms can be used in singular and in plural) is supposed to be the conglomerate of all Romanian vampires and their descendants. Whilst
realsane Romanians don't give a shit about Strigoi, view them as the equivalent of ghosts, not vampires, angsty American faggoths masturbate daily to the idea of feeding them.
- Vampire Council is the goth equivalents of David Koresh, but with herpes. Meetings are held at Denny's at 2 in the morning while drinking "only coffee, black" and making long angry stares at the wait staff.
- Vampire Elder is one who has reached the age of thirty-seven and still not grown out of it. Said people are never, ever employed and try to convince their impressionable fifteen-year-old "initiates" that sex with them would create a higher spiritual bond and advance their dark powers.
- OVC Online Vampire Community
- Menstrual fluid, Delicious.
- Sanguinarius. A Semenarius who is doing it wrong.
Regardless of type, vampires generally tend to regard themselves as above "normal humans". Keep this in mind when dealing with them, as they think that you are merely a mortal monkey and that they are your god. Side note: It is safe to qualify each different type into a larger encompassing specie, known as FAGGOT
- Sanguine vampires drink blood and call themselves "Sanguine" because it sounds French and therefore is more likely to attract Lestat, WHO IS A REAL PERSON AND NOT EVEN SLIGHTLY FICTIONAL. (Sanguine really means "cheerfully optimistic, hopeful, or confident".)
- Psychic vampires are too wussy to actually drink blood, they insist that they're still vampires because they suck the souls out of people. This has the advantage of allowing them to participate in a fuck-up culture without the associated risks of infection, or doing something really gross. Also allows them to dodge unpleasant questions like So how come I can still see your reflection in a mirror? or We're driving over a bridge. I thought you vampires couldn't cross running water? The claim that they drain the psychic energy of anyone around them by some mystic process is also a convenient way to explain to themselves why they are rejected socially, rather than accepting that their social skills need work and putting in the effort to change for the better, like a pinnacle of society!!
- Aura vampires are like psychic vampires but even more full of bullshit.
- Arithmomania vampires Vampires who Obsessive-compulsively count things.
- Dio Brando, the only cool vampire. Also see Za Warudo and WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
- Dracula, What is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets!
- Twihard, Either batshit insane fangirls or guys who wanted to have sex with said fangirls

New World Order
The Leaders of this community are generally self-proclaimed and are usually the most out-there and sick people in the community. It's sick fucks leading the blind.
Last Thursday, some discussions held on VampireRave between mighty bludz-sucking Elders of "the community" surfaced. lulz were had:
... Has no one told these freaks that TrueBlood isn't real?
Many vampires have learned to keep their mouth shut about their psychosis, especially if they have children. Fortunately, there are some who just don't, and they are exposed for the disease riddled psychopaths that they are.
Having your brood taken away is a commonplace thing for people in the vampire community. The likeliness is increased with every post made to a web forum, every book published and every National Geographic special one appears in.
While most of the sick fucks like to claim that Vampirism is a non-violent subculture, one has to question how non-violent people really are when they claim to desire slashing people open and drinking from their wounds.
Here are some notable crimes caused by people claiming vampirism and/or affiliation with the subculture:
- Johnathon Sharkey is in jail for threatening Dubya.
- Rudy Guede is a rare vampire blackula.
- Thomas Owen kills his parents and drinks his fathers blood.
- Old vampire dude bites and whips loli asspie.
- Kristian Allen Carl rapes a loli.
- Matthew Hardman, sanguinary schizophrenic, killed an old woman to get immortality and undead hotties.
- Some kid (Anonymous for his protection) killed his brother [2] [3] for lulz and blood.
- Vampire lesbians? For added lulz, writer is batshit insane too and says women who kill people and drink their blood merely "break the mould of expected female behaviour". No, really.
- Moar vampire lesbians. Jessica Stasinowsky and Valerie Parashumti bludgeoned their loli roommate to death and allegedly drank her blood.
- Vampire lesbian in the 1990s.
- So many vampire lesbians. (In Jamaica, "vampire" has meant "lesbian" for at least thirty years---points for perceptiveness, Trenchtown!)
- Alan Menzies claimed that Akasha was going to give him immortality if he killed his best friend.
- Scott Bower and friends drank each others blood and harassed a vicar.
- The late Shane Chartres-Abbott raped a woman, drank her blood and bit her tongue off. Thankfully he was offed by a nigra.
- Manuela Ruda and her hubbie Daniel murdered an old guy and drank his blood. Kinky Germans.
Invading the Mainstream
Whether by appearences on Tyra Banks or through interviews with ABC News and The Washington Post, vampires are trying to get a foot hold in modern culture. Since by vampire I really mean schizophrenic 16 year old girls, this will likely lead to lulz and internet drama instead of blood sucking and hot vampire sex.
Don Henrie has declaired himself the leader of forcing the vampire subculture into the mainstream. He has appeared on many daytime talkshows to be ridiculed by their hosts and many documentaries that air on halloween to reinforce the stereotype that people who drink blood are escaped mental patients with poor wardrobe choices.
He is also claiming to be spearheading a poorly thought out reality tv show for MTV based on the vampire community.
An episode of South Park that aired on November 19th totally raped the vampire community in the ass by stating the truth that all self-proclaimed vampires are just moronic wannabe goths who need to grow the hell up. Some "vampires" are trying to laugh it off. Douchebags like Michelle Belanger didn't understand that the show creators were being serious when the characters said that people who pretend to be vampires are retarded. Some are trying to find an alternative explanation to the episode, trying to prove that the show creators are really on their side or are somehow awestruck by vampires.
A Question that has Plagued Vampirekind for Centuries
The vampire community is a group of like minded individuals who believe that they are vampires. I bet you didn't see that one coming.
It is theorized that they have been in existence for at least 100 years and started as an off-shoot of the Goth subculture. While the vampire community originally focused on simply making themselves look like romantic representations of child-eating zombies, things quickly shifted and got taken to a level of lulz that is typical of alienated teens and occult practitioners.
The community is considered "secret" by its members that haven't seen CSI, watched National Geographic or The Discovery Channel at Halloween or heard of Michelle Belanger and Don Henrie.

Medical Testing
Though doctors and medical professionals are aware of these haematophiliacs and self-proclaimed psychic vampires, few studies have been conducted on the subject. This has resulted in the phenomena being brushed aside and being dubbed ludicrous.
This is because those supposedly afflicted with this faggotry know that they are batshit insane. They know that there is no doctor worth their degree that won't see past their bullshit, so of course they don't submit themselves for analysis. Most claim that their reasons are because of concern for their privacy, but this is obviously a lie as most of the people claiming to be approached are making their lively-hood off of duping people by regaling them with fanciful stories about their condition.
Those that have submitted to physical testing, such as Don Henrie, have only proven to the world that the culture and individuals involved are fake and only playing a part to cope with the desolate waste land that is their lives. Also on an unlulzy note, vampires are technically real. There is a disease called Porphyria where the symptoms are pale skin, receding gum line, overstimulation of hair follicles (werewolves), and a need for regular blood transfusions due to the disease affecting red blood cells. The whole garlic thing is that chemicals in garlic make the symptoms worse.
The Psychiatric Phenomena
Psychologists are becoming more and more aware of vampirism (also dubbed "Renfield's Syndrome"[5][6]) thanks in part to the flamboyant and self-righteous display these people make of themselves.
If Renfield's syndrome is mentioned in their presence, most vampires like to counter-troll by insisting that since it isn't in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, it is not a real condition, thus they aren't crazy. In the same breath they will tell you that they refuse to admit their behavior to any medical professional because they know they will be locked up. They will turn that around into them being persecuted by the hyoomans.
The above is, of course, all just public relations. Among their own kind, most vampires will freely admit to having more mental illnesses than Twilight has retarded fangirls.

like gay marriage and shite.
My opinion is that social issues are state issues not federal issues.
How many Muslims are you prepared to kill to continue them? There will be no compromise with those who believe as did bin Laden.
How about changes in the curricula of public schools that do not permit parents to opt out their elementary school children from classes when homosexual related matter is taught. That is nothing more than mandatory indoctrination for public school children. The only recourse for parents who object is to send their children to private schools or to home school their children.
So am I assuming you think there should be no laws concerning drinking age? No laws concerning age of sexual consent? No laws to inform the parents of a minor receiving an abortion?
quote:Because the curriculum was adopted after same sex marriage was legalized by judicial decision. And another court decision mandated that since homosexual marriage is a constitutional right in Massachusetts public schools have an obligation to teach that homosexuality is normal in the interests of diversity and tolerance.
Even if that is true, how is this the result of same sex marriage??
In my initial post I mentioned 3 social issues. You decided to only respond to the gay marriage aspect. So you get to arbitrarily decide which social issues the state is not allowed to be involved in?
Neither were an issue but the MSM allowed it to become the narrative.

Obama mixes 'Star Trek' and 'Star Wars' references
Obama combined a reference to the "mind trick" sometimes used by Jedi on weak-minded adversaries in the 'Star Wars' films with the 'Vulcan mind meld' technique used by the 'Star Trek' character Spock.
Washington: US President Barack Obama, who said just days ago that he had no interest in playing a "blame game," spent much of a news conference on Friday pointing fingers at Republicans after last-ditch talks with congressional leaders failed to avert automatic spending cuts from kicking in later in the day. Emerging from a nearly hour-long meeting and taking the podium in the White House briefing room, Obama displayed a combative style that has become his regular approach toward opponents since his decisive re-election victory in November.
Asked why he didn't just refuse to let congressional leaders leave the room until they had a deal, Obama told reporters, "I am not a dictator. I'm the president. So, ultimately, if (Senate Republican leader) Mitch McConnell or (Republican House of Representatives Speaker) John Boehner say, 'We need to go to catch a plane,' I can't have Secret Service block the doorway, right?"
Pressed on whether he was showing enough leadership - something Republicans say he has been lacking in the fiscal showdown - Obama mixed up his sci-fi references but made his point, nonetheless. "I'm presenting a fair deal. The fact that they don't take it means that I should somehow do a 'Jedi mind-meld' with these folks and convince them to do what's right," he said, while offering no new ideas for resolving the bitter dispute.
Obama combined a reference to the "mind trick" sometimes used by Jedi on weak-minded adversaries in the 'Star Wars' films with the 'Vulcan mind meld' technique used by the 'Star Trek' character Spock and others from his fictional planet Vulcan. The US President acknowledged that "this is not going to be an apocalypse" but he called the cuts "just dumb."
Obama's self-confidence - and his willingness to let things go over the edge, at least temporarily, in the latest fiscal battle - demonstrated what his aides have been saying for weeks. He believes he's winning the public relations war and that Americans will put the lion's share of the blame on the Republicans for any economic pain and social hardship caused by failing to head off $85 billion in spending cuts due to start taking effect.
Republicans, for their part, insist Obama is exaggerating the potential impact of the cuts, but are seeking to avoid blame. McConnell, after the talks, called it "the president's across-the-board cuts" even though both sides agreed in 2011 to have these "sequestration" spending cuts go into effect if Obama and lawmakers failed to fashion another deficit-reduction plan.
But with lawmakers either heading out of town or already gone, Obama used the presidential soapbox on Friday to hammer home his points. He suggested that Republicans - who accuse him of continuing to campaign despite the election being long over - were driven, at least in part by entrenched hostility toward him still simmering after their election losses.
"I recognise that it's very hard for Republican leaders to be perceived as making concessions to me," Obama said. "Sometimes, I reflect, 'Is there something else I could do to make these guys - I'm not talking about the leaders now, but maybe some of the House Republican caucus members - not paint horns on my head?'"
Obama wants Republicans to agree to eliminate tax loopholes enjoyed largely by the wealthy in order to help reduce the US budget deficit. Republicans have ruled out raising taxes and want spending cuts instead.
Obama also took a shot at New York's billionaire mayor, Michael Bloomberg, who endorsed the president in the 2012 election. Bloomberg, during a visit to the White House on Wednesday, suggested to reporters that the administration was hyping the warnings of dire consequences from sequestration.
Responding to that, Obama said the Defense Department was trying to figure out how to continue funding schools for the children of military families. He also said Border Patrol agents "out there in the hot sun" were facing a 10 percent pay cut. "I don't think they feel like this is an exaggerated impact. So I guess it depends on where you sit," he said.
Obama's sci-fi reference caused a stir on the Internet. His mashing-together of the Vulcan "mind meld" and the Jedi "mind trick" went viral, drawing an avalanche of commentary on Twitter from "Trekkies" and 'Star Wars' fans eager to point out the mistake.
The White House, known for its use of social media, wasted little time joining in the fun. "We must bring balance to the Force," it tweeted along with a photo of a gesturing Obama. "To deny the facts would be illogical." 'The Force' was a 'Star Wars' reference, while Spock often called things illogical.
Leonard Nimoy, the actor who played Spock, weighed in on Twitter, saying, "Only a Vulcan mind meld will help with this congress."

--Always be nice until it's time to not be nice.
Mini14 but just as hard to find. I do not agree that an AK is a replacement for an AR. I own s few Ak's but they are not replacements for an AR.
The SKS can be a fair option. Face it if AR's are out so will most if not all other semi autos.
Get a good bolt action and shoot them from farther away. All my 308's are bolt action.
Not sell anything I own now or ever I am not in the gun business. I just bought another AR15 one of the best for 999 with 2 mags and a nice case on the 29th so don't fall for the double price stuff yet. It will settled down some before they are banned.
A lever gun can be topped off while the gun is still in battery and capable of firing the chambered round. That's a significant advantage. And for the crazy current prices of a semi-auto military-pattern rifle, you can outfit your whole family with lever guns.
I would only lean toward a bolt action if you can see further than 300 yards in your area - though I'm not sure you could argue self defense at that range (that's a topic for another day). In that case, the bolt action's ability to use pointed spitzer bullets gives it an advantage. However, the Hornady LeveRevolution ammo gives the old lever gun some range/accuracy as well, so...
The number of people killed because they didn't have "enough gun" is dwarfed by those who had none at all.
Last week I took a 20" .357 mag lever action and a 7.62x39 bolt action (5 round box magazine) to the range to have a little fun. Both were under 6 lbs, fun to shoot, and fairly fast on the shoulder. The 7.62 has a little more punch, but the .357 out of a 20" barrel is very capable.
Best of all, neither would scare the general public like an ugly military killing machine like an AR or AK, which are obviously the most powerful weapons ever devised, and just holding one can turn anyone into a homicidal maniac (sorry, been watching too much CBS).
12 gauge pump action shotgun (Either Remington or Mossberg) or a lever action in .357. Plenty of firepower to defend my home, ymmv, And if it's NOT enough firepower it's highly doubtful that a AR-15 or AK47 (both of which I also own) would have been enough.
-It is a seriously scary thought that there are subsets of American society that think being intellectual is a BAD thing...
If you want a semi-auto that is affordable, fill out the CMP forms and get yourself a Field Grade or Service Grade M1 Garand.
Rifle Sales - M1 Garand
Otherwise there are lots of affordable Yugo SKS rifles floating around. I would look there. If you want a bolt-gun, the Mosin-Nagant, either 91/30 or M44, is an excellent choice for cheap. There are Yugo and Czech Mausers floating around right now as well. As others have mentioned, you can never go wrong with a nice, new .30-30 from Marlin. Good luck in your search, hopefully you find something that works for you.
Which would have better ballistics? a .357 or .45LC from a lever gun? Ammo price would have to be a fator I suppose?
Marlin 336. No where near as effective as an AR as far as capacity or speed, but that is the way I would go.
12-31-2012 At 1200 Fleet Farm had quality AR15's in stock at the same price they sold for all year come with a nice case thrown in.
An affordable rifle in 30-06 or .308? Look at the Remington 7400.
My name is Frogman46 and I'm tougher than you.
WHat are you wanting it for? HD/
You could get a High-point carbine, I would get a .45 first, then a .40

a Kel Sub is too expensive.
I'd think about an SKS if you want HD, and something you can set up to go hunting with.

If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans
Don't ever think that the reason I'm peaceful is because I don't know how to be violent
M&Pc .357SIG, 2340Sigpro .357SIG
If I were to get rid of my ar. Which Im not anytime soon. Id would replace it with a ruger american in 308.

text: I have noticed a trend taking place for the last few years. it isn't so bad here, but it happens on a LOT of forums and beyond. When you share a thought on the forum, you actually have an unlimited amount of space to organize your thoughts and type them out so that everyone can read them and make sense of them. Bad spelling and poor grammar don't really bother me so much (Depending on exactly how bad it is, and as I get older, I am starting to misspell words sometimes too...), but 2 things I really can't stand is a post full of SMS text, or a half page of one long run-on sentence. It is not limited to forums either. My wife was the supervisor where she worked and she would bring home resumes that people had submitted. There was SMS texting language on MOST of them. STRAIGHT to the TRASH! Some of them were on lined notebook paper and done in pencil. Nope! Straight to the TRASH! One lady wrote poetry on the back. NOPE! STRAIGHT to the TRASH! I wouldn't hire someone to pick up cigarette butts out of my parking lot if they did any of that on their job application! "I was drv 2 th store 2day an i ran ovr a dog" OR "i was drive to the stor today an i run over a dog so then i herd a funny noise commin from out of the radiator i pulled into a parking lot and open the hood and saw anti freeze on the grownd comming from out of the hose i called my dad he said that i need to go to the auto parts store i went to the auto parts store and the guy ask me what kind of hose it is i tell him that it was for my truck he ask what kind of truck i told him a blue truck he said we dont have that part and then i have to walk back to my truck it was like 5 miles away it was cold i got back to the truck and the police was asking me if it was my truck i said yeah and he told me that i have to move it or they are going to call a tow truck i moved it and there was no more anti freeze i called my dad again he told me to go back to school" What?! I see either of those in a post and I IMMEDIATELY click the back button. I won't even ATTEMPT to decipher that mess! Those are my BIG pet peeves. What about you?

The aim of the Software Design and Development (SDD) Stage 6 course is for students to develop the knowledge, understanding, skills and values to solve problems through the creation of software solutions.
The SDD HSC written paper will examine a sample of syllabus outcomes. As this sample may change from year to year, it is important that you study the whole of the HSC course. The HSC course includes the core strands of:
- Development and Impact of Software Solutions
- Software Development Cycle
- Developing a Solution Package
- Evolution of Programming Languages; or
- The Software Developer's View of the Hardware.
The SDD examination paper
The HSC examination for SDD is on Friday, October 29, from 1.55pm to 5pm. You will be given three hours (plus five minutes' reading time) to complete the written paper. To prepare for the exam, students should familiarise themselves with the structure and format of the paper.
Section I (20 marks)
- There will be 20 multiple-choice questions.
- All questions are compulsory and will be based on the core topics.
- All answers must be marked on the multiple-choice answer sheet.
- Allow about 35 minutes for this section.
Section II (60 marks)
- There will be three questions based on the core topics.
- All questions are compulsory and are of equal value.
- All questions will consist of a number of parts requiring short, structured responses.
- Each question should be answered in a separate booklet.
- Allow about one hour and 50 minutes for this section.
Section III (20 marks)
- There will be two questions, one question on each of the option topics.
- You should attempt only one question.
- Note that calculators are not to be used in the examination.
- Both questions are of equal value.
- Both questions will consist of a number of parts requiring short, structured responses.
- Answer this question in a separate booklet.
- Allow about 35 minutes for this section.
The NSW HSC Online website is an excellent source of information and revision activities for SDD, and has been developed by experienced teachers. In preparation for the examination, use this website to help consolidate your knowledge and understanding and to add variety to your study program.
For the Software Development Cycle, there are activities to support your revision of:
- Detecting and correcting errors, and
- Standard Algorithms: Searching.
For revision of Development and Impact of Software Solutions, there are activities for:
- Creating Space Probe Seven, and
- Developing a software game.
The Board of Studies website has many resources, including the syllabus, past examination papers and marking guidelines. The HSC Notes from the Marking Centre provide comments about the quality of past student responses to questions in the examination and highlight relative strengths and weaknesses. The Software and Course Specifications provide information about the software, representational tools, meta-language and methods of algorithm description referred to in the syllabus. In addition, there is an online multiple choice activity section that utilises questions from past HSC papers on the BOS website.
The Board of Studies also provides schools with the NSW HSC Standards Packages for SDD. These CD-ROMs provide sample student responses at different levels of performance for selected examination questions. You can analyse these sample answers to determine what is required for a good answer. Talk to your teacher about accessing this CD-ROM package from your school.
Preparing for the examination
To be successful in Software Design and Development, you must be able to demonstrate a theoretical understanding of the concepts in the syllabus, as well as an ability to analyse and interpret new situations or scenarios and apply your understandings to these situations. This is a skill that you need to practise.
In the HSC course you will have completed a project requiring you to design and develop a software solution. Use your project work experience, where relevant, to support your exam answers, especially in Section II, with specific, practical examples. This can help to more clearly illustrate concepts and demonstrate to the examiner your depth of understanding of the subject material.
The structured free response questions in Section II and III will consist of parts sequenced in the order of difficulty. The latter parts of a question are more challenging and worth more marks. For these parts with more marks, spend time in planning the structure of your answer before starting your response.
Pay particular attention to the instructional words used in the question (eg, explain, compare, discuss). These words assist you in determining what is required in your answer. The Board of Studies has prepared a glossary of key words used in examination questions, available from the NSW HSC Online website.
It is important you are familiar with these definitions so that you understand exactly what you are being asked in a question.
Diagrams should be neat, clearly labelled and follow the conventions described in the Software and Course Specifications document.
Writing and interpreting algorithms will feature in the examination. Students are expected to know both pseudocode and flowchart methods of algorithm description.
When creating algorithms, ensure you correctly use the three control structures and include enough detail to demonstrate understanding of the processes being described. Flowchart templates may be used.
In the examination:
- Read the question carefully.
- Be clear about how much time you should allocate to each question.
- Identify the key words and determine what the question is asking you to do.
- Underline the important aspects of given scenarios.
- Use the amount of marks allocated to each question as an indication of the depth requirements of the question.
- Provide coherent and succinct answers.
- Use diagrams where appropriate.
- Avoid vague generalisations and unsubstantiated technical jargon.
- Where appropriate, demonstrate your ideas by giving examples from case studies and your project.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I am also another newbie at this running lark.....now if someone would of said to me in my teens i would be running for fun i would of laughed in there face - and here i am!
I have joined the local running club which i really enjoy and have my 2nd 10k race tomorrow (i call it a race - more like walking backwards for me!). My first 10k was last month and i did it in 67mins......at least i have something to compare too now!
Now i do have a question.....my race tomorrow is at 730pm - what do i eat throughout the day and do i eat anything before the race? I know I am not doing a marathon but start small and work-up!
Hi Beanie3
Well done you on your races - great start!
As for eating during the day, I found it was a case of trial and error to find out what works and everyone you ask will tell you something different. For me a pasta or rice salad at lunchtime and then something like a bagel or a crumpet with honey on at about 5pm gives me a brilliant energy boost. I can't eat any closer to a run or I get a stitch but a friend swears by a banana half an hour before a race. Like I say, it's trial and error really! The most important thing, especially in this heat, is to keep your fluids up.
Good luck!
I have my first evening race this week, every other race I have done has been early.
I am going to try and follow a similar routine to my early races, so I am going to have a normal lunch, then have a bowl of porridge 3 hours before the race, as I would on an early race, and see how that goes.
Hi Beanie
Just make sure that you are not feeling bloated.
Good luck with the race. Come back and tell us how it went.
I'm doing my first 5 km run tonight at 7.00pm
I have got the banana ready before the race, only question is what time to eat.
How long will it take to enter the system to provide that boost
Hi Andy
I would have thought that you would be better saving it for after the race.
A couple of glucose tablets immediately before is probably more suitable for 5k.
Don't go off too fast. Do have a drink just before the start. And - Enjoy the race.
Cheers Big Dave,
Will get some glucose tablets before the race
Let you all know how I got on tomorrow
Danowat - i know you are fairly local to me as you did the humpty dumpty - or you doing broome tonight? If so i will see you there!
Had pasta for lunch gonna have a couple of bananas an hour before the race and see how that goes.....I am very nervous as its hot and i know i am gonna be last!
Oh by the way thanks for all your eating tips and best wishes i will let you all know how i do!
Andy Jones good luck on your 5k
Okay - finished in 67 mins again - well hell i am consistent!
Note to brain - do not eat that banana so close to the run - not good.......serious cramp......
Too near especially if you eat the whole banana. Start one an hour before the race and take a bite every 5 - 10 minutes, that willbe better and you will avoid cramps
Well I managed to finish the 5 km in 28 mins 45 Secs, got the appetite for more now.
How long would it be best to leave before going running again and when to do the next race
Hi Andy
Congratulations on your race.
Rest for a couple of days.
Then get back into training.
When you have good basic stamina - You should be able to do 5ks at the rate of about 1 per week
But this is not the best recipe for achieving your best times.
Work on the stamina first.
Good for you Andy - thats great time.
Hi Big Dave
How's the best way to build up my stamina
Would joining a local running club help to set goals and run in a group.
I always run on my own at the present but still dedicated
Check out your local clubs.
I would expect that most will let you have one free go (mine does)
Stamina - gradually increase weekly mileage and particularly the length of your LSR.

Fisher & Paykel Appliances continues to face tough trading conditions and its long-suffering shareholders were left with only a few morsels of good news to pick over when the East Tamaki-based whiteware maker reported its full-year result last week.
The company managed to beat its earnings guidance and cut its net debt by more than a third, while its finance business once again delivered a strong performance and the board hinted that dividend payments could soon be back on the cards.
But the situation facing F&P's core appliance business is less rosy as retail conditions remain depressed in key markets such as New Zealand and Australia.
Despite that, analysts reckon the firm is well-positioned to benefit from improvements in the global economy and new products hitting stores this year should counter further retail weakness.
"While conditions are still challenging we think the worst is behind [F&P Appliances]," brokers Craigs Investment Partners said in a research note.
In another research note, Forsyth Barr's Andrew Harvey-Green said F&P Appliances should "comfortably outperform" its last financial year's result in the current year.
Group operating revenue dipped to $1.04 billion from $1.12 billion a year earlier in the 12 months to March 31, while normalised net profit fell 12 per cent to $26.3 million.
Harvey-Green, who has a "buy" rating on the stock, said the total earnings before interest and tax (ebit) result of $48.3 million was positive, as it beat company guidance and his own forecast. However, the $10.5 million ebit for its appliances division was "a miserable figure considering the $900 million of revenue received to derive it", he said.
On a more positive note, Harvey-Green said the new products - including fridges, cooktops and dishwashers - F&P Appliances was in the process of launching would benefit the company through the current financial year and into the next.
"If markets stay where they are then you'd expect F&P to pick up market share and raise margins a wee bit as they are able to charge slightly higher prices with the new products out there," he said.
F&P Appliances spokesman Matt Orr said the company had invested heavily in product development over the past two years, with 50 new engineers joining the firm.
"Having a whole lot of new products is a great space to be in," he said.
The company has begun supplying direct drive washing machine motors to its Chinese cornerstone shareholder, Haier, and Forsyth Barr has forecast a total ebit contribution of $7.5 million for the current financial year from the contracts it has with the Qingdao-based home goods maker.
And Harvey-Green said the $25 million in foreign exchange hedging losses that hit F&P Appliances in its last financial year were not expected to be repeated in the current one.
Analysts said risks facing Fisher & Paykel Finance were a deterioration in economic conditions, which would impact consumer demand for credit, and rising bad debts.
F&P Appliances shares, which were worth more than $3 in 2006, closed up 2c at 54c last night.

DSL Prospect Watch: Pirates2 Lose Badly to Tigers in Playoff Opener
The Dominican Summer League playoffs started today, with the Pirates2 taking on the Detroit Tigers affiliate. The playoff format is best of three in the first round, with the two best teams in the league getting first round byes. The Pirates2 won the Wildcard spot with a 46-26 record, so they met up against the Tigers, who finished 49-22 on the season. The two teams played each other four times during the regular season, splitting a two game series each time.
The Pirates2 went with rookie Dario Agrazal Jr on the mound today. He defeated the Tigers earlier in the season, though it wasn't one of his best outings. In five innings, he allowed three runs on six hits and three walks during a 9-6 win. Agrazal finished the year with a 6-0, 2.40 record in 12 starts and one relief appearance. Th...

Another day of free agency has come and gone. The Devils looked to get some key FAs but ended up losing one instead.
Today, the Tampa Bay Lightning announced that they signed former Devils defenseman Matt Taormina to a one-year, two-way contract. The salary was not mentioned. Taormina had a great start to his career in New Jersey but unfortunately, he was injured after and for the most part, stayed that way. In the few times he did play post-injury, he was rusted. Still, I think he has potential and I wish him the best of luck in Hockey Bay USA.
The watch on Alex Semin continues. Sources say he has narrowed down his choices and the Devils are a strong contender in the Semin sweepstakes. Most likely, he will make his decision tomorrow and let's hope he picks New Jersey! After all, we have Six Flags, great parks, 130 miles of beaches, great schools, great transportation, great malls - the list goes on! So pick NJ, Alex!

Discussion in 'Football, Baseball, and Hockey' started by bezeach, Jan 20, 2008.
7-3 Pats at the half??? The Giants D looks great.
That play by Eli when he was almost tackled and he thru it for 40 yards is the PLAY OF THE CENTURY so far. I could hear the old dolphins roar all the way from Miami. I guess all you had to was see the 4th qtr on this one. Good win for the Giants, but still would have like to have seen the Patriots win....So once again in pro sports in this decade, the team with the best record fails to win the big one again. (Keep it going Celtics...so you can fail too...)
Give credit to the Giants. They made the big play when they needed one. I just hope all the OLD Dolphins just go away........
What a great game! The scramble by Manning and the catch by Tyree was a play for the ages. Pretty cool that Burress got the winning catch after catching crap from Brady for the 21 point prediction...MSU just beat UM! lol
Yeah, great finish. My Super Bowl square of Giants 7-Patriots 4 is looking MIGHTY good right now.
Only a Spartan would take credit for that DT LOL Brady tried to be the hero on his closing drive and it did look good for about 3 minutes... There will be some what ifs for the losers. What if Belachek had gone for that FG in the second instead of the long pass play, ....should Brady have burn some clock with some running plays instead of 3 straight passes before hitting Moss. ..what if Eli's knee had touch the ground or Tyree had given up thinking Manning was down. Finally what if Archie Manning's oldest son Cooper had not been diagnosed with a spinal disease, he possibly could have been just as good as both Peyton and Eli and had another Superbowl ring for daddy Archie to brag about.
As Wolf Blitzer would say, "Amazing, amazing!" I can't stand the Pats. GEEEEEEE MEN!
The final drive by the Giants in the fourth was just RIDICULOUS. I don't think I've seen a super bowl that exciting before...
Amen. This is the first time in my memory that so many non New Yorkers are happy to see them win. Strahan didn't get many tackles, but I can't wait for his first post-Superbowl appearance on Best Damn :D
That catch, combined with the scramble by Eli, makes that one of the best plays in Superbowl history. How did he manage to hang on to that ball?
Agreed. Scramble + Catch + Magnitude of Play = Best play in Superbowl history
This is so bitter sweet for the Pats. I loved the way they took no prisoners all season long. Faced down all the sensitive creeps saying they were running up the score etc. All that perfection goes to waste because they lost the big one. They dared to be great!!! Like they say, Defense wins championships.
Separate names with a comma.

Our big announcement on the Trump-Russia scandal.
Karen J. Greenberg, co-editor of The Torture Papers: The Road to Abu Ghraib, has a great piece on Bush administration secrecy up on MotherJones.com (courtesy of Tomdispatch). She describes eagerly awaiting two new government reports on detainee policy, both promising to contain important new information. "Imagine my disappointment," she writes:
Blackened page followed blackened page; introductory sentences led nowhere; subsection titles introduced nothing; elaborating details were rendered invisible along with most of each report's conclusions. If one were to treat the pages of each report like a flip-book, visually the story line would be a solid mass of black.
Tom Engelhardt, in an introduction to the piece at Tomdispatch, points out that the Bush administration's "most essential 'sunshine' policy" is this: "if at all possible, offer nothing to anyone, any time, anywhere, for any reason," a point Greenberg develops:
Withdrawal of information has been a deeply rooted tactic of the Bush administration. The urge not to tell, never to reveal, has been at the heart of its approach to government, whether what's at stake is court records, statistics on Iraq, or information about detainees. In 2001, 8 million government documents were classified per year. That number has now expanded to 16 million. Moreover, the rate of declassification has decreased significantly. On average, only one-sixth as many documents are declassified each year as during the Clinton administration.
Read the piece in full here.

Was it really just one year ago that we here over here announcing that Woot Tools & Garden had bloomed from the harsh cold ground? It's hard to believe, but it's true. Something like 52 Mondays hence, that little site came to life. And now it seems like it's always been here.
Anyway, in honor of this very special day, we're having a little celebration for the next fortnight*. Check out a special soundtrack, or the Woot Tools & Garden main page, or the various Woot Plus sales, or our Facebook, or maybe even our Twitter because in some or all of these places you'll see us giving away our presents to you! Sadly, we can't offer slices of cake. You'll have to buy that somewhere else.
*if you don't know what a fortnight is maybe look it up on this new thing called Google
Happy Birthday!!!
A fortnight is a unit of time equal to 14 days (2 weeks). The word derives from the Old English: fēowertyne niht, meaning "fourteen nights".[1][2] Fortnight and fortnightly are commonly used words in the English-speaking world, where many wages and salaries and most social security benefits are paid on a fortnightly basis,[3] except North America, where it is rare outside of some Canadian regions and insular traditional communities (e.g. Amish) in the United States. American and Canadian payroll systems may use the term biweekly in reference to pay periods every two weeks. Neither term should be confused with semimonthly (in one year there are 26 fortnightly or biweekly versus 24 semimonthly pay periods).
Happy Tools & Garden Birthday, woot!

DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE. The information I obtained after paying a substantial fee turned out to be completely inaccurate. I was so upset and disappointed, especially after I contacted the owner. I expected once I explained to him the circumstances, he would most certainly provdie me a refund. However, he refused. In fact his aggressive tone was indicative of what has resulted in the worst service I have ever encountered as it relates to using professional screening services. I am told the ownber is a police officer that uses city resources for his business activities. I can only assume given the illegal nature of such business activity, the services must be conducted wiht the intention of being discriminae to avoid being caught by the city authorities. This results in poor service rather than what you would expect to be a more thorough report.
I warn anyone paying for this service, you are much better off using a more reputable firm. This owner is dishonest and corrupt.
