User Score10false10Tampa, FL0 people found this review helpful!I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation to Krista Phillips for all of her hard work and assistance in resolving credit issues and re-establishing my credit status. I HAD a very poor credit rating do to an injury and loss of work. You never realize how important your credit score is until it is bad…………… I could never have done it without Krista and the National Credit Federation team. Krista worked diligently toward correcting my credit rating . I cannot thank her enough for all the hard work. I now HAVE a good credit rating thanks to Krista!
User Score10false10Tampa, FL0 people found this review helpful!Krista is awesome. She knows what she is doing and listens to my concerns. She is a true professional and i wouldn't want anyone else to handle my credit file. All the negative items on my credit was removed and she referred me to apply for credit cards. Thanks for everything Krista.
User Score10false10Tampa, FL0 people found this review helpful!I was referred to National Credit Federation(NCF) by my best friend. I thought my case was totally hopeless; but, still made the telephone call. From my initial conversation I was convinced NCF is here to work on repairing my credit. NCF would send me helpful tips via email periodically on credit repair. I was then introduced to my credit counselor Monique' who went to work immediately on my case. The outcomes were phenomenal, in such a short time my credit scores were on the rise!
I now can apply for credit with the confidence I lacked for so long. The customer service, communication and professionalism of NCF far exceeded my expectations!
Thanks NCF and thanks to you Monique' for making my dreams come true…you are the best!!

Not only did they provide me with great customer service' but they also made me feel comfortable about the situation with my credit and letting me know that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Krista and Monique kept me updated through the whole process. Best part was once my credit was in good standing' they showed me how to manage and boost it as well. I'm pleased to say that now I'm able to start house shopping for me and daughter. Thank you so much again for making this possible for us!
User Score10false10Tampa, FL1 people found this review helpful!I wanted to take the time to thank you for all your hard work on my case. You have gone above and beyond to help me in every way of the process through recommendations, guidance and overall the best service I could ever ask for. I will definitely refer you to anyone that I know that needs help with their credit to you. I truly appreciate all you hard work and guidance through the process. From the day I called National Credit Federation everyone has been wonderful to work with. All the Best!
User Score1010Tampa, FL2 people found this review helpful!My name is Elvin Sosa and, I like working with NCF, especially with Monique Martin. I'm real grateful, I started with a 500 score and now I'm up to a 700. Now I can move on with my life and am able to establish my credit.
User Score1010Tampa, FL1 people found this review helpful!Joining NCF was the best decision that I could've made last summer. I was skeptical of the program, but everything has gone exactly as I was told it would. I like that there are no hidden fees, and I can stop anytime I am ready without penalty. When I make contact someone always gets back to me in a timely manner. Most importantly my credit score has gone up tremendously, and my family and I are finally close to being able to qualify to purchase our first home, I'm very excited about that, so thank you.

User Score1010Tampa, FL1 people found this review helpful!"I started the program with NCF about a year ago with credit scores in the low 400's and now have scores in the high 600's.My biggest goal was to be able to trade out of my high interest rate car into a new BMW. I was just recently approved for a new car loan at 3.74%!
Never in my entire life had I received an interest rate that low. This was a result of working with National Credit Federation, Me doing my part and them doing their part. They were diligent about helping & they were pleasant and professional to work with. If you are looking to boost your credit I would highly recommend National Credit Federation.
User Score1010Tampa, FL1 people found this review helpful!We want to thank NCF for the hard work that Monique and Krista have done for me and my wife and that their hard work is paying off for us. We are seeing the results and are getting the benefits and it is amazing!! We did not think that our credit was reparable after a hard time we went through some years back.
But once again thanks to NCF, Monique and Krista they gave us confidence that they could make a difference for us. This change in our credit is awesome and for the better. We just purchased a new car for my wife and I was able to buy a 2015 Camaro with 3% interest (WOW).
Just two years ago I bought a used 2001 Dodge truck that's not worth much and I still had an interest rate of 19% over a 3-year loan ouch . . .
I am just blown away at the results from National Credit Federation, Our dream is to buy a home and we are so close to be able to make that come true. We will start looking early in the New Year.
Once again thank You NCF, Monique and Krista.

User Score1010Tampa, FL2 people found this review helpful!I have had a wonderful experience with NCF in particular with Monique Martin. She has been instrumental in getting my credit score for a 605 to a 711 in two months. I am looking forward to her continuing to improve my credit to the best possible score.
User Score1010Tampa, FL1 people found this review helpful!Thank you NCF for being the best in the business at fixing credit. I have been sending every client that does not credit qualify over for the last 3 years. This nets me at least one closing a month that I would not have had. I like the extra money it makes me annually but more importantly they help solidify my Realtor relationships. They always know exactly where my client is in the credit repair process and when to get them back over to me. They keep the referral source saved with the file. It goes a long way when I tell a Realtor that a client they have completely forgotten about is ready to buy a house because NCF made their 520 middle score go to a 660.
User Score1010Tampa, FL1 people found this review helpful!I want to say thank you for all of the personal attention you have provided for Damon and I. In just the short amount of time, our credit scores have increased over 100 points!!! You have been available to answer our questions and concerns from the beginning.

User Score1010Chico, CA1 people found this review helpful!I was extremely skeptical of NCF or any other credit repair agency. I was encouraged to try them by my mortgage broker because we had short sales that had been reported as foreclosures in our credit report, and we could not qualify for a loan. NCF did do what they said they were going to, and much to my surprise, they were able to get the "foreclosure started" notations removed from all three credit reports. It took several months, but they came through in the end. I would definitely recommend NCF to someone who has a similar problem. I am very happy to have my credit reports fixed.

I bought the 3 x Microdermabrasion for £49. THE DEAL IS AMAZING!
First of all the microdermabrasion treatment was very good, I was happy with it but on top of that, the lady gave me a collagen ultrasound treatment and finished it off with a moisturising mask with camphor in it. It was so soothing.
Secondly the enivironment was was very clean, relaxing and the lady was so friendly and professional. Although the place was a small spa, and it is a bit of a walk from Old Street station. It is completely worth it. I plan to buy another set of the treatment.
I highly recommend it.

Gifted & Talented Primary Years #24

Posted 15 April 2012 - 05:00 PM
After a lot of thought, I've decided to have DS2 IQ tested. Unfortunately the paed also suggested having him ASD assessed as well. I am quietly reeling. This is my "normal" child, my "average" one (DS1 has HFA and is gifted, DD has ADHD and many ASD traits). DS2 is 7. I should have known before now. I know he is bright, he always has been. But ASD didn't occur to me, not until I had two different people call him "quirky" within a week. That alarmed me, and it has snowballed from there.
We are booked in with a psychologist I am happy with (she did DS1s Grade 6 assessment) in May, so not too long to wait. She was really thorough and gave us great suggestions to help with transition from primary school to high school.
Which IQ test would she use? Is there a common one to use at age 7? I will be happy to find out his strengths and weaknesses, so am looking forward to that result.
Re sharing with the school, I'm not sure if we will or not. They already recognise that he is bright, and ahead of the others, but he resists attempts at extension. They try to give him work that is more at his level, but he "can't be bothered thinking". Bright but reluctant. He would rather do readers because "they are easy", even though he is well beyond them. Not sure how we will get him to use his intellect should he be shown to have some.
Does anyone else have a child that refuses to work? (DS2 won't write either). I know a lot of you mention that the school isn't being cooperative with providing appropriate work, but our school does, it's the child that won't do it. Anyone relate?
Best wishes to all.

Sorry I've been so slack on this thread. Autism Awareness Month seems to have consumed most of my EB energies.
inthearmsofsleep, congrats on the wonderful test results! Glad you guys had such a positive experience with GMs.
LucyE: Will PM you those sites (and anyone else who is interested).
Michaelmichelle: We shared the entire report with J's school -- mainly because we trusted how they would use the information. Also, so many kids at her school have been tested by GMs that we wanted the school to be able to compare/contrast/calibrate. My daughter's scores were really high all across the board, so we didn't have to worry about "interpretation" either. However, depending on the school, the level of familiarity with giftedness, the appetite for learning more, I could see why a parent might only share an extract. Fortunately, the way the GMs report is written, you could easily segment it.
bucket: Hey there. Wow, I bet your head is spinning. We ended up going with the SB-V, instead of the WISC-IV (those of the two you are likely to be offered). Our only reason was because Gifted Minds tests with the SB-V. My understanding is the the WISC-IV is far more common in Australia, so your son's school might be more familiar with it.
I really hope that things go well with your assessment. I have a soft spot for complex kids, but I can appreciate the desire to know what it feels like to parent a nice average kid.
We have had some compliance issues with our daughter this year at school. We use a lot of positive reinforcement, scorecards (behavioral checklists), and limited options ("You can choose THIS or THIS, but you must choose one.") We are also bringin' in the big guns this term, in the form of the Sr. Behavioral Specialist who ran my daughter's early intervention program years ago, to do some special consults with her teacher & the head of the Gifted and Talented program. We also have a (private) shadow in the classroom, chiefly to cover the times during the week that are likely to be the biggest challenge for my daughter. For instance, she is the lone girl in the G&T maths class, and as a result, is a bit reluctant to go and participate. Having someone there to help get her over the little bumps really helps!
Happy to "talk" more by PM.

Hi all,
Ive been MIA trying to get my head around a few things & we also had a big move.
I have to say we have had a really good start to the school year - DS1 has settled in really well to a new school & teacher. I was a bit hesitant initially as his teacher is quite young however she is fantastic & really clicks with DS1. We havent had any of the behavioural issues from last year.
So we had parent teacher today & the teacher reported that he is doing really well with most things - reading & writing still a bit of an issue though but he is progressing so she is happy with that. One thing that i found interesting - we hadnt told her about his IQ testing etc but she made mention that his comprehension is fantastic but his written assessments dont reflect his comprehension however he tests very well verbally.
For those who dont remember - DS's IQ test results indicated that he is highly gifted in comprehension/lanuage (GLC) but average FSIQ. So i dont know if there is a problem linking the 2 & whether we should investigate or let things pan out??
Overall I am pleased with his new teacher & feel she is working well with him rather than against him
Posted 18 April 2012 - 02:12 PM
Hi I was hoping it would be ok to come in here and ask for an opinion. It has just been suggested (by a friend - no expert) that I get DD age 9 tested. It is something I've not considered before and knew very little about but have done some research. I'd been interested if others would give their opinion on whether or not they think testing would be relevant or helpful to us understanding our daughter a bit better as she is due to start a new school next year and we have had many concerns in the past. She sits performance wise at school somewhere about 3/4s of the way through the class so we've always considered her to be above average but nothing exceptional. On the other hand we've always been astounded by what you might call her EQ...her maturity and understanding of social interaction is way ahead of her peers and she much prefers the company of adults to children her own age. She has had many social issues at school that staff have put down to her not being able to see things at the same level as her peers but acknowledging she usually approaches disagreements/ group interaction from a logical/ more mature perspective than the others. However she recently sat some academic tests that put her in stanine 8 for maths (she says she can't do maths at all and struggles and her teacher last year told us it was a weakness for her) and high stanine 9 for all literacy based tests (same teacher last year told us she was very verbal (indicated mouthy) and not as clever as she thinks she is). She had a terrible time at school last year (has never loved school but this was the worst by far) and we worried she was almost becoming depressed about school and assumed it was a social thing but without teacher support in either academics or social issues we sat out the year hoping for a better experience this year. She is much happier this year as she has a teacher who really gets her in a social sense and is making her feel good about herself but now we have these academic results we have thought maybe a little bit more is going on in the classroom. Would testing be of help to us do you think? Thankyou in advance from someone with little knowledge in this area.

Has anyone wonder with the testing iq score, will our child iq level remains throughout or will they decreases?
Does anybody know what is the iq score to skip a grade in WA?
Our school testing is lower than the iq score itself.
Does a child still have to undergo gifted entry in year 5 for a gifted program when we have already have an iq test?

Hi Everyone,
I am new to this website and am very grateful to have found such an active thread.... This is only my second post, although it is the same as the other one
I put this post on here last night, but i have now found a "gifted" thread, so i am putting it on here now.....
So here is my story and questions,
I am a SAHM of 3 wonderful children,
My oldest child dd has been tested and is gifted, we have had the WPPSI-III, SOI and the Stanford Binet testing done.
On the WPPSI she scored overall 95% (Superior)
on SOI, 98.6% IQ 137+ (overall Total Stanine Score 90)
And i have misplaced the stanford binet test but she came in the Second from the top level.
My dd is currently 6 and a half , we initially had the WPPSI test done so we could gain early entry into NSW school as she is born in August.
We were knocked back on Social and Emotion development, and then moved to QLD, When she was 5 and a half she started Prep in a compisite prep one class, which she handled fine but was bored. This school also would not offer any extention, enrichment at all..... so we had to change school.
This year we changed schools after being granted a grade skip, but as there was only 2 schools we could find willing to do this, it limited our options.
She is currently in a multi age 2/3 class, and is extending into the year 3 curriculum.
She is also having trouble making friends. She is making some friends, but she feels extremely deeply, so, if someone doesn't play with her she get emotional, she also told me the year 3 kids are telling her that she is too young to be reading chapter books and told me thismorning that she isnt going to read the books she has been anymore and go back to easier reading so they dont get " Jelous or upset" (her words) that they are not able to read like her. She has also started to say she doesnt want to go to school in the mornings, where we have always had her wanting to go....
My ds is 5,
we have not had him tested yet as he is unable to read or write ( so i thought) until today, i had a parent teacher interview and was told he showed ALOT of the traits my dd has..... And that he is good at maths..... and extremely emotional.
He didn't walk or talk until he was 18 months old.... but spoke sentences instead of words when he started to talk.
My youngest is dd 18 months old,
She walks and is starting to talk, is Extremely curious and independant... understands everything you say to her and loves to dance.
My kids go to two different schools on different sides of the city, as there was no vacancies for my son in Prep in my daughters school.
School drop off and pick up is a nightmare.
Two days ago i found a school not far from me, that has a gifted program, (selective) using one of the tests i have already had done... Has multi age/ composite classes the whole way through from prep to year 12 p/1, 2/3, 4/5 ect... It is a small school ( 200 Kids about)
Now, my kids schools they are currently in are fantastic, but i cant do the commute next year as they both finish at the same time ( this year the prep classs finishes early)
My sons school will take my daughter in year 3 next year, but doesnt have anything but a learning support officer.... no gifted program, extention, enrichment ect...
My Daughters school has no vacancies for my son at the moment and he is on the waiting list ( how long for, i dont know)
The school i have just found can take both kids, dd in 2/3 and ds in p/1. they have availability and the gifted program.
My questions are............
1) If you were in my shoes, would you move them both or hope that a position comes up at dd school?
2)if you did move them, would you do it immediatly, at the end of the term or the end of the year? ( My husband says now, because of two reasons, first, he is worried she will hide her abilities to fit in, and second, we can do it when the uniforms change to winter uniforms ( so not having to buy books, summer uniform and winter uniform straight up) The uniform changes on 8th may.
3) I have no Formal way of showing that she has been grade skipped, it was all done verbally with the current and last years school principal, and the department of catholic education. As this new school is not a catholic school, how do i show that she has actually been grade skipped since the beggining of the year?
3) Any suggestions?
Posted 25 April 2012 - 04:27 PM
Thanks for your help and suggestions to me.
These articles were in the Age (Victoria) on Monday. I didn't even know there was an enquiry into gifted education happening, but I will be interested in the results.
My mother called me after reading the first one to make sure I read it as she said it described my DS2 perfectly.
There was a box in the paper listing early signs of giftedness, I couldn't find it online so I have typed it out below:
*a high level of alertness
*an unwillingness to sleep
*single mindedness
*deep engagement in play for sustained periods
*speaking in sentences earlier than peers
*a deep interest in watching and learning from others
*stong passions or interests
*reading before school
*lack of social connection with peers
*preference for adult company
*wanting to do things perfectly
*displays of high-level creativity
*breaking abstract word and letter codes
*a love of strategic games, such as chess
*making unexpected verbal connections
*curiosity about numbers and mathematics
I was interested some of these could overlap with ASD? Does anyone else think that?
Do your children "fit" with the list? (I don't think they are supposed to have everything). I can see some of these signs in DS1 (who has been tested and is also ASD) and DS2 (who is being tested in a few weeks).

Hi everyone
This is probably a vent more than anything, but anyway...it follows on from a session aimed at parents at our school today, which made me feel my child is a freak. I didn't want to vent in the venting section for precisely the reasons listed below!
I'm feeling so frustrated at how totally focused our school seems to be on reading recovery and struggling readers. OBVIOUSLY children who are having trouble need extra help, so I'm not wanting to detract from their requirements at all. But there is never *any* mention of kids who are ahead of the 8 ball. Never! I am SURE my Yr 1 child is not the only bookworm or super-keen learner in the school but there is never any guidance about what we should be doing with our children at home. It's all about how to encourage your child to read their reader to you, how to sound out words, how to decode texts and so on. DD1 is reading at a Yr 5 level, reads the atlas & dictionary for fun...you know how it is. Of course I am super proud of her, but I DO have questions about her education and how to help her at home, and I feel I can't ask them without sounding like a w*n*er. Especially as today her teacher (who is the school literacy coordinator) mentioned that her own son is a reluctant reader.
Not to mention the fact that you can't really express any concerns to other parents without sounding like you are bragging; let alone actually share in the joy of having a child who is doing well. So I don't even know who the other parents of smarty-pants kids are, to have a chat to!
Vent over.

Hi Lunargirl
You sounded like many of "us " here before our assessments. We are very relieved to have our child tested finally .Though we havent talk to anyone about it other than the school.
It hard to talk to a teacher without concrete evidence.
It didnt open any conversations for us in fact we went even under the radar knowing the child is gifted its becomes unfair from our point of view now to compare to his own peers.
Am sure many will agree. Get tested. Someone here told me its painless and worthwhile and i heed the advice and never once look back.

Hi Michaelmichelle
We're booked in for testing in a few weeks. I still don't really know if DD is "gifted" or just bright (though it will be nice to find out!), but even if she turns out to be on the higher end of average, it would be nice for the teachers to cater a little more for those students! It seems like they just assume they will "fend for themselves"

Just out of interest, what is the reasoning behind schools not wanting to divulge info from IQ tests conducted by the school educational psychologist?
My son's teacher and I are still tossing up whether my son should be tested. Perhaps I am better leaving it and waiting until I can afford private testing?

Not recommended by the organisation the counsellor is registered with. I confirmed this with a friend who is a child psych.
I'm upset as I had concerns and had raised them prior to testing that we be given a full report etc. Obviously my idea of a full report differs to the counsellor's. No idea about the school, but they are the next logical step. I guess they are trying to protect the children who do have pushy unhinged parents, but seriously!
I understand that the number isn't what it is all about. I also suspect that with DDs results, I think there is something else going on. A 40+ difference in percentiles seems to be significant to me..... this was so not explained well in the report provided. And as the lower %ile is "average" it is not statistically significant.
Crumbs, I am not a statistician, but I am not questioning the result, I am seeking a deeper understanding so I can support my child in her learning years. I know its just a snapshot in time, but I still feel there is more about it.
Totally happy I have a high average child, totally happy I have a "normal" friendly, engaging daughter who is social, bright and behaving very well at the moment (really enjoying all this ).
As someone who is normally fairly articulate, I really struggle to put into words the concerns I still have. Its like I don't have all the pieces of the puzzle yet, and then when I went to find them, got shot down and told there is no puzzle, and why did I want those extra pieces anyway, as they weren't statistically significant.....or relevant... or what did I want to do with them......

Hello! I hope you don't mind me posting/asking a question in here as my DD is not at school yet, but didn't want to start an 'is my child a genius' thread and get flamed as I do have genuine concerns about DD1 3.5 and was hoping some of you lovely ladies could offer guidance!
She has been clever since she was born, knew her alphabet before she was two, did puzzles from a very early age etc...
Now she is writing all her letters, knows their sounds and can sound out and write basic words. She also knows many words by sight. She has an amazing memory, and taught herself to count to 10 in Spanish (thanks Dora) at just over two. She can count to 100, and to 20 in Spanish. Also knows days of the week and can associate what happens on what day etc. She was drawing proper people from 3 as well.
On the flip side she is extremely sensitive. I can't take her to an indoor playcentre as she is terrified of the air noises in there. She is scared of buses and trains and dogs and pretty much anything that makes noise. (Unless it is songs that she likes and she wants them loud and knows all the words..) She won't sleep in her own bed, sleeps on a mattress on our floor and still wakes 3 times a night.
She is VERY demanding of my time. I cannot leave her for 5 minutes without her demanding something (literally) or asking questions about why things do things etc. we can't just bake together, she needs to read the scales and learn about 1/2 cup, 1/3 cup etc.
I am quite concerned already about her starting prep as she already knows more in terms of reading/writing/numbers than most of her prep friends. I think she is going to go mental in prep and drive her teachers mad.
Sorry for the essay! Just after advice I guess of what to look for in a school, and any tips on parenting a child like this... bless her heart, but she is driving us bonkers with her sensitivity at the moment.
Thanks for reading!

Cat's pjs - I am not sure if i can give really good advice because we have a little boy who is not at school yet either (same age as your little girl).
But I did want to say that your little one does sound incredibly bright and I know that its very hard to bring this stuff up on the generalcareas of this forum.
I would say that she is certainly advanced and you are right to be thinking about how a school will be able to best catar for her.
We started our little one at a private school (the preschool part of the school) this year. When we interviewed the school we went to the principal and put everything out there to be seen. Our little one has a mild form of Autism and at the time suspected he was gifted. We told the principal about DS and watched and waited for his response to our very unusual child. We wanted to see how he would respond to the good and the bad. The principal was very thoughtful and asked many questions about our son and asked questions about what we wanted. He knew off the top of his head how many children he had in the school with ASD and gave real examples of children who are gifted and how they were extended. This impressed us a lot.
Our little one has settled in so well and is holding his own without a hiccup.
We've just had him tested to find his IQ is far beyond even we imagined so it will be interesting to see how the school is able to accommodate his needs. I don't even know what that would look like. I guess my point is though that I feel confident in the school that they will support us in every way and I feel certainly confident in that now I have that paperwork too.
I am not sure what to say in regards to being so far ahead and how your DD will fair in prep. I am scared of this too.
Best of luck:)
Posted 17 May 2012 - 07:56 AM
Cat's PJs - my little girl (in year ) was quite similar to yours although perhaps not quite so sensitive to noise etc. She does sound very clever. We chose a school that used a developmental curriculum - this meant that the children could all work on the same topics/areas but with a different level. For example, my DD did the same work on procedures as the rest of the class - some kids did drawings only, some kids wrote a few words and DD wrote the full procedure. She was reading more than 20 levels above the rest of the class for most of the year and noone would have known this (unless they did reading with the kids). In maths she was removed for small group extension and given different homework to the rest of the class. Some things surprised me, I was quite concerned about boredom etc but when the other kids were learning their letters (DD had known since she was 2 as well) DD insisted on having the same home learning book as the others. Instead of just learning about the letters of the week we would spell different words starting with those letters. Her teacher said to me that she wasn't going to give DD that homework book but DD insisted. We thought about starting school early but she really benefited from the social aspects of kinder. In year one she is still flying quite above her peers (and her peers in the grade above her I think) but she is not bored as the same approach is being taken. For example, when the class are learning an addition strategy - they are adding single digit numbers and she is learning two and three digit numbers. The school use homework activities to help with extension also - instead of the 10 maths questions the others get, she gets problem solving sheets that really extend her. This is to work on her persistence - she was too used to things being very easy for her and wasn't developing persistence (she would give up immediately if something looked hard and she thought she would fail). This approach has worked incredibly well for her and she is much more persistent. They have also worked hard on her resilience. So, for me, I would look for school policies around social/emotional development (persistence, resilience, good bullying policy) as I think this is more important for kids like ours. A good attitude to extending kids is also important. I don't think academic results of the school are as relevant because I feel like she'll be fine with her learning regardless but unless her social/emotional wellbeing is taken care of we could be in trouble.
Bluemonkey: I'm surprised about your issues with the test results. Statistical significance (in my understanding) when it comes to tests like these usually refers to the difference between test scores. So, most IQ tests will give a verbal and a non-verbal score and these are combined to give an overall IQ score. However, if there is a large enough gap between the verbal and non-verbal scores the overall score should not be calculated as it is deemed to be not a good indicator of skills (there is a statistically significant gap calculated for different tests). Each overall score is made up by specific combinations of subtest scores - the little tasks that are completed in different areas. Some tests will also give information about statistically significant differences between subtest scores - for example if a child scores subtest scores of 8, 9, 10 - skills are fairly consistent across the areas but if a child scores 5, 5, 12 you could assume that the overall score is not representative of the child's abilities because they have poor skills with a splinter skill in one area - the overall score would be like an average of these scores and would not accurately represent the child's abilities. I would imagine the professional association gives advice about reporting on scores that are appropriate - for example they might say: report only on the overall score if there is not a statistically significant gap between VIQ/PIQ etc. I can't imagine that a professional association would not allow full explanation of IQ results which would include information about areas of strength and weakness (whether statistically significant or not). Basically, I'm trying to say that statistical significance is relevant to what scores are calculated but not to whether they are reported to parents. I hope that makes sense. I should put in a huge disclaimer that I am not and never have been a psychologist or school councellor and have never administered or scored such a test. So, this information is just parents understanding of how things work so there is a definite possibility of me understanding it incorrectly.

Katrina24 - I admit to being rather crosseyed as I digest your reply, but I appreciate you taking the time to explain.
Can I just ask you to clarify your first sentence though Did you mean that you are surprised at the resistance of the counsellor to providing additional information or at my unhappiness at their refusal? I'm not being narky, just wasn't sure what you meant

I have no issue with the actual results at all (not saying that the counsellor didn't do the assessment appropriately etc), I am just curious as to why DD had such a low %ile and indeed, don't care if its statistically significant, but more if its highlighting an area of concern etc. I totally agree that one can not expect a FSIQ that is representational of the child's abilities if there is inconsistency with the subtest scores etc (at least, I think that's what you meant above).
Ok, stepping away before I get dizzy Hope I made sense. Not good to reread one's words too many times...

Hi there, sorry about the incoherence of my last post, I was rushing and had two little girls hanging off of me pestering me.
I definitely meant I was surprised at their reluctance to give you more info. I totally understand why you want more info, it would drive me nuts not be be given all the info.
The reason it is so important to look further into scores that are heaps higher or lower than others is because they can skew results. So, say little Sally is doing the test, she's having a great day and feeling confident. All of her scores are in the range of 12-14 but then she really needs to pee and all she can thinking of is not wetting herself. So, her last subtext score is 4. This may look like a real area of weakness. If it is combined with the other test scores (say 12 and 13) it may bring her overall score below 100 which would not be an accurate reflection of ability. That's why there are guidelines about when not to calculate scores on some tests when the gap between subtext scores is too great.
I am totally inventing these numbers. Like I said before, I'm not a psyc so could be a bit off track but this is how it has been explained to me.
With the overall scores, if there are two scores that combine to calculate the overall iq result, the overall score can sometimes not be calculated if the gap is above a certain number. For example, a child with a verbal iq of 80 and a non-verbal iq of 130. If an overall iq score was calculated this child would seem to have an average iq. But, in reality they are likely gifted with a weakness in language, possibly even some language difficulties. Each individual test would have it's own rules about all of this. I'm just basing it on the one person who explained one test to me so it may not be relevant to your situation.
I absolutely think it is worth following up. In my opinion, the value of an iq test is in the anaylsis of the results, not just the overall score. If ther are some outliers (scores well above or below the trend) then I would ask questions to try and figure out why. If the score in a particular area is really bad then I might follow up with investigations in this area.
I hope that is a bit clearer.

Hi Katrina,
Ahhh, thanks for clarifying. And yes, its not all about the number for me, its actually about DDs brain and her learning. Thats why I just wasn't expecting the refusal for more information. I can't see how my understanding her results better would be a detriment to her Its amazing how you can feel so dismissed and disregarded in a situation like this.
Posted 18 May 2012 - 07:26 AM
When results have big differences between percentiles say between verbal and visual it can actually indicate learning issues so they might have some funny numbers they dont want to pass on without giving you context or getting further info. For example my son scores in the 99th percentile for visual skills. On a neurodevelopmental assessment and an intelligence test he hit the ceiling on a number of subset - his visual skills are incredible according to his psych. However his expressive verbal skills were in the 34th percentile so a full scale iq is unable to be reported. He has a big verbal lag which we are working hard to try to address.
Posted 18 May 2012 - 12:25 PM
There is a discrepancy between the scores from our school assessment I think it warrant a private testing rather than having sleepless nights.
We finally get to it and never once look back.

Respond to Review of Henderson's Restaurant
by khb
Review: When I visited, there was plenty of selection for vegans. My starter (bread with an assortment of spreads - hummus, baba ganoush, etc) came with far too little bread for the amount of spread they served. But that turned out to be all right, because I didn't really like some of the spreads at all. The others were quite good. My main dish, a Moroccan tagine, was full of "neaps and tatties" - I guess they either wanted to add a local twist or reduce their costs! They were happy to grant my request for a bowl of just vegan ice cream for pudding (vegan ice cream was offered on the menu, but only with the other puddings - I don't remember if none of them were vegan or if I just wasn't in the mood for the ones that were), which they served topped with some nice fresh fruit. The ice cream itself was a little bit freezer-burnt - maybe they don't get too many people ordering it. I thought I remembered that they closed rather early in the evening (8:30 or 9:00 or so) but according to their website they are open later now.

Long journey a memorable one for Refsnyders
As UA's Robert Refsnyder thrives in Omaha, proud parents are there every step of the way -- as always.
In about 120 games over three seasons, Arizona outfielder Robert Refsnyder has taken his parents on a sports journey only loved ones could appreciate.
Baseball games galore. And yes, there are more to come. Jane and Clint Refsnyder don't mind. They're enjoying the trip and what has turned into a wild and memorable ride.
"We won the Pac-12, we won the regional and now we are in Omaha for the championship," Jane Refsnyder said over the phone from the College World Series. "That's just amazing. Wow."
What a ride it's been -- for nearly 21 years.
It's been sports, sports and more sports -- or at least has felt that way -- for the Refsnyder family since they officially adopted their son, then a 3-month-old from Seoul, Korea.
Clint said his son, the Wildcats' starting right fielder and arguably one of their best hitters, showed promise and potential as a 5-year-old when he'd emulate athletes on television.
"If they would throw a football, he'd pretend to be throwing one," Clint said. "If someone was batting, he'd bat, too."
He hasn't stop hitting since, helping lead Arizona (46-17) to the College World Series finals beginning Sunday against defending champion South Carolina. For the season, he's hitting .357 with 63 runs scored (second on the team) and 64 RBIs (best on the team).
"I feel good; I've been hitting all year," said Refsnyder.
He goes into Sunday's game hitting a team-high-tying .400 for the Series with a team-high nine total bases. Four of those bases came on a towering home run over the left-field fence in Arizona's romp over Florida State to advance to the finals.
"A home run is a home run, but it was nice (and) special," Refsnyder said. "A home run is always a big moment, but you just want to win."
That's what Arizona has been doing, winning nine straight in postseason play and 10 of 11 overall. It's no shock that Refsnyder has been a big part of UA's amazing run. Eleven games ago, he ran through third-base coach Matt Siegel's stop sign to score the winning run on a Seth Mejias-Brean double in a 1-0 game against rival Arizona State.
"All I saw was (the coach) putting on the stop sign and this crazy kid not stopping," his father said, joking. "Had everything played properly, he would have been out."
But the baseball gods had other plans. Refsnyder scored and made probably the biggest baseball fan in the family more than ecstatic. Jane said she "lost five pounds" on the play alone, yelling and screaming her son home.
"When he was going from second to third, he had this madman look," she said. "I had this mental flashback when he was in sixth grade and it was field-day competition and it was the fastest girl and boy, and he had never lost. I saw that same look on his face, like, 'I'm not going to lose this.' I saw him run and said, 'My god, he's going to go for this.'"
Arizona has lost just once since.
And the Refsnyders, from Laguna Hills, Calif., have seen every game since. They've seen most of them over the years, watching their son start nearly every game, whether it be in right field or at second base or at designated hitter. He's that valuable at every spot. He's only missed two starts in 173 games.
When she's in the stands, Jane is a busy woman, keeping a scorebook for every game. And that's all the hits, runs and errors, not just Robert's.
"It's the way I stay into the game," said Jane, a self-proclaimed baseball nut. "Who is coming up and how we'd pitch to them. And the fathers of the pitchers always ask me what's the pitch count."
Jane wouldn't have it any other way. Baseball and softball, although she didn't play organized sports as a youth, have long been in her blood. She kept score at the games for her daughter, Elizabeth, who's also an adopted Korean and played D-III softball at Kenyon College.
Even after watching three games on television over the course of a day, if there's an opportunity to watch a movie at night, much to Clint's chagrin, Jane will pick baseball again.
Clint loves baseball, but Jane REALLY loves it.
"Jokingly I say this, and I've also apologized to the man upstairs," Jane said. "If there is no ballfield in heaven, I don't want to go. I always have a score book, and I'd rather watch the ballgame rather than anything else."
There have been no lightning strikes from above yet.
When Refsnyder was drafted in the fifth round by the
New York Yankees earlier this month, Clint was as thrilled as any father would be for his son. There was a downside, though, in the acknowledgment that at least part of him would have to become a Yankees fan.
Clint grew up in Allentown, Pa., and is a
Phillies fan.
"It's really cool," Clint said of his son's draft status. "I put the Yankee jersey on a little gingerly at first, being from Philly and New York being the evil place that it is (he laughed). But seriously, it's a first-class organization. What else can you ask for but being drafted by the class of the league?"
Then he continued: "I'm over it. I'm still a Philly fan."
And they will always be Wildcats fans, specifically this weekend as they complete a long journey filled with frequent-flyer miles and many, many miles on the road to watch their son and his teammates attempt to fulfill their dream.
"Oh my," Jane said, reflecting on the entire experience. "I said to Mr. Farris (UA pitcher James' dad) that I'm afraid I'm going to wake up from this great dream. He said, 'Stay asleep.' ... Every time I think about (all this), I say, 'Oh my gosh.'"

Your Survival Food (2 of 4) by Jerry Vines
This content is part of a series.Your Survival Food (2 of 4)
Jerry Vines
Psalm 119:129-133
I'm going to talk to you today on your survival food. I'm doing a series of messages on Your Survival Pak for '99, how to survive and thrive as a child of God in the year 1999. Whatever the year may bring God has given us a survival package and I'm sharing it with you and trying to lay out before you some matters that will be helpful for you in the year 1999.
Drop back to the 103rd verse. It says, ''How sweet are thy words unto my taste! Yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth.''
There is a beautiful statement about the Word of God. The Bible is compared here to a nutritious, delicious food. We are learning more about food nutrition, I guess, than we have ever learned before. We know that if you are going to be strong, if you are going to be physically mature, it is important for you to have a good, nutritious diet plan. You need a combination of proteins and carbohydrates and fat. You need some vegetables and some fruit. You need some grain. You need to hit the dessert tray sparingly. And you need to have an overall well-rounded nutritious plan.
I was reading this week a rather sad article about Iraq and the fact that this is the seventh year of the international embargo and they are not getting the kinds of foods they need into the land. One of the things they are encountering there among their doctors is the large number of boys and girls who are malnourished because they are not getting the proper foods. The article went on to say that the only way to really be whole and healthy is to have a good nutritious meal
We are talking about a survival plan. I read the story again this week of Captain Scott O'Grady who was shot down in Bosnia a few years ago. His book is entitled Return With Honor. It's a rather fascinating book. It tells about his survival plan and his survival gear and the fact that for six days, behind enemy lines, he was able to survive. He gave out of food and water and so he began to have to try to eat off the land. Kids, one of the things he started eating was ants. He said they kind of tasted a little sour like lemon. We know that ants are high in protein value. In some cultures they roast ants and eat them kind of like popcorn. If you want to try something unusual, kids, you might want to give that a shot sometime. But he understood that in order for him to survive from whatever source, he had to get as much nutrition as he possibly could. You cannot be healthy physically if you do not have nutritious.
The same thing is true for you and me who know the Lord. In our spiritual lives, if we are going to be spiritually strong, then it is important for us to have some nutritious food. The Bible presents itself as food. It is compared in Psalm 119:103 to honey that is sweet to the mouth. In many passages of Scripture we are told that the Word of God feeds us spiritually and that we become strong spiritually if we eat good food.
I want to talk to you ...

If you take chemistry, you will learn about electrons. Electrons are the smallest of the particles that make up an atom, and they carry a negative charge.
The number of protons and electrons is equal in each atom. The hydrogen atom, for example, has just one electron and one proton. The uranium atom, on the other hand, has 92 protons, and therefore, 92 electrons. The atom's atomic number is the number of protons in the atom, which by default is also the number of electrons. An electron is so small that it cannot be seen with the naked eye, but neither can the atom itself.
Definitions of electron
n an elementary particle with negative charge
- Synonyms:
- negatron
- Types:
- show 4 types...
- hide 4 types...
delta ray
an electron ejected from matter by ionizing radiation
free electron
electron that is not attached to an atom or ion or molecule but is free to move under the influence of an electric field
an electron that is emitted from an atom or molecule by an incident photon
valence electron
an electron in the outer shell of an atom which can combine with other atoms to form molecules
- Type of:
an elementary particle that participates in weak interactions; has a baryon number of 0

YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE ME by CaptainQuirkWatch

Oh, this may be the most frightening jack-o-lantern I've seen this year. Yup, I'm sure of it now.
Are you a fan of MLP?
My parents gave me a herd of ponies in the 1980s. Although I haven't really gotten into the MLP Renaissance, I have followed the modding culture with much amusement, and designed a potential dark pony pumpkin for this year (but ended up putting my efforts into the raven instead). I'll scan it and put it in scraps. I've also designed a My Little Oreodont sticker, but have been reluctant to post it (nervous about copyright -- maybe it can go in my scraps, too?). I love seeing the sculptures and mods (like those of ~borgpony).
O_o ...That IS scary! Gotta love Fluttershy. Lol.
Coolest. Pumpkin. Ever.
This is an intense epic win.
I LOVE THIS SO HARD. Oh my god I wish I could carve pumpkins with you ;-;
Aww... that would be so much fun!
Ok. This is easily the scariest jackolantern I've ever seen
Of all the cool things that could happen, this is the COOLEST. POSSIBLE. THING! <3

Burke warns against simplifying annulments, 'false mercy'
Cardinal Raymond Burke, head of the Vatican's highest court, warned against a simplification of the process for seeking annulments in the church.
Cardinal Raymond Burke, head of the Vatican's highest court, warned against a simplification of the process for seeking annulments in the church.
Prayerfully and joyously welcomed into St. Patrick Cathedral for his installation Mass as the 11th bishop of the diocese of Harrisburg on Wednesday, Bishop Ronald Gainer held up St. Joseph -- whose feast the church celebrated that day -- as "a challenging example" for the members of the church.
Speaking of Joseph's designation as a "just man," Gainer said the description of the saint goes far beyond his decision to take Mary into his home, as was recounted in the day's Gospel.
Fifty years ago, Henrie Monteith Treadwell made history when she successfully fought to attend the segregated University of South Carolina. She praises her family and especially her Catholic school upbringing for helping her stay focused against injustice.
In September 1963, Treadwell, at the age of 16, became the first African-American woman to enroll at the University of South Carolina.
It seems like not a month goes by that the Catholic community in the U.S. is not faced with headlines about another set of Catholic school closings. Ten school closings in Buffalo, N.Y., were announced in January and at least six schools in Chicago are slated to close. Last year, the New York archdiocese announced it would be closing 24 schools. The year before, 49 Catholic schools in Philadelphia were either closed or consolidated.
Omar Pro Montaño looked into sending his daughter to Catholic school years ago, but he couldn't afford the then $5,200 tuition at St. John the Evangelist Catholic School in Tucson.
"If I was financially set, it would have been a no-brainer," Pro Montaño said. "I would have gone with a little less to make sure she went."
Two-thirds of Americans haven't heard of them, but they're already in place in half of the country's public schools, shifting the way students learn and teachers teach.
They are the Common Core State Standards: a new set of national academic guidelines and a source of passionate opinions and fervent debate. And while an August 2013 poll showed 62 percent of Americans had not heard of Common Core, educators say its impact will reverberate throughout the nation's classrooms, from public to private to Catholic.
At an event on the "Francis Factor" on Tuesday, the panelists repeatedly shifted attention away from the pope and onto Jesus.
Nearly 3,000 men from throughout the Newark archdiocese and other parts of New Jersey filled Seton Hall University's recreation complex Saturday for a robust spiritual workout.
Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York launched the sixth annual Newark archdiocesan Catholic Men's Conference with a keynote address before the men spent the day hearing other talks, praying, sharing in small groups, celebrating the sacrament of penance, and rallying around a festive eucharistic procession.
False tax returns filed in the names of archdiocesan, school and parish employees and volunteers alerted the archdiocese to the security breach.
In recent surveys, the religious "nones" -- as in, "none of the above" -- appear to lead in the faith marketplace. In fact, "none" could soon be the dominant label U.S. adults pick when asked to describe their religious identity.
But they may not be who you think they are. Today, "nones" include many more unbranded believers than atheists and an increasingly diverse racial and ethnic mix.
And, researchers say, this is already making nones' attitudes and opinions less predictably liberal on social issues.

I had a slow puncture for months - the tyre took about a week to go down and I regularly had to pump it up before using the bike.
I finally replaced the tube the other day. I checked that the tyre was correctly seated after I'd replaced the tube and then pumped it up fully. It seemed fine. Definitely the correct size tube. I put the bike away, and took it out a few days later to find that the tyre was almost flat again!
Is it possible that there's something wrong with the wheel itself that is damaging the tube, and causing these slow punctures, or is it just a dodgy tube - unlucky coincidence? Any help would be appreciated. No point in replacing the tube again if the problem lies somewhere else!

Re: polymorphism2011-06-28T07:29:57ZThis is the accepted answer. This is the accepted answer.Polymorphism : Showing one thing in different forms (in general wordsd). But in java we have two types of polymorphism. 1) Static(method overloading) 2) Dynamic (Method Overrriding.
Method Oveloading : With same method name we will write two or more mthods in a single class (diiferentiating type of parameters and no. of parameters).
ex: void add(int a, int b) and void add(double a, double b) etc.
Method Overriding : With same method siganture we will write one more mthod in child classes. Based on the reference it will called dynamically.
Abstarct Method : A method which is not having body, we will just declare it. Defination will be in implemented or extended class
Abstarct Class : A class which has atleast on abstract method in it.
Interface : All the methods by default abstrat and variables by defauls final.
Difeerence Between Abstract Class and Interface : We will go for Abstarct Class when we need partial implementation left to child class
We will go for Interface when we need full implementation left to implemented class

Did OK
Wednesday, January 09, 2013
I did ok after my first week "back to routine". I kept up with the exercise and was pleased with that progress. My eating was better, but I need to get back to a plan & tracking. I really haven't gone to the grocery store yet to stock up, so I've just been eating what's on hand (we always have fresh fruits & veggies, whole wheat, etc.) and I've managed to eat pretty healthy (if I can just stay away from the salty Scrabble Cheeseitz).
DD#2 didn't have practice on Monday so we went to the gym as soon as I got home from work. I thought my walk/run routine would be easier since I was back on a flat track, but it was still hard! I finished that up and then rebounded for DD#2 for about 20 mins. I did a resistance band workout last night. I tried to play the upper & lower body videos from Spark, but they kept "loading" so it was annoying. I ended up just doing what I could remember from those and part of the "seated" routine. I did about 20 mins., so I guess that's ok. I really need to find something consistent that I like with this, or I'll probably quit like I did with the dumbbell workouts!
My sister called me last night. She and my oldest sister were going to join the fitness classes that the county has at their different rec. centers. They live about 15 miles north of me, so they were going to go to one closer to their houses. My oldest sister decided not to join (her husband is cheap!), but DS#2 went ahead and signed up. I think she was trying to convince me to, but we just can't afford it right now and I really can't commit to go to a particular class with her (distance and my wonky schedule). I really would like to do a strength training, core class, but I guess I'll just have to stick to what I'm doing for now.
On a positive note, I did loose 2 lbs.! I figured I'd do pretty good the first week just getting back to routine and stop the crappy eating.
Tonight is a "rest" day on my running program, but I might do a resistance band workout. I have to get dinner started and DD#1 to work and then take DD#2 to Bball practice @ 7, so I will be pretty busy. DH is off from his "regular" job the next 3 days, but he started a side job today, so he's not sure what time he'll be home at night.
Tomorrow starts the first day of Week 2 of the running program. I'll have to do 1 min. walk & 4 min. run (6 times). I think I'm ready to advance to this. It's about the same time, just a little more running! DD#2 has am practice on Thursday and the team dinner @ 6, so she'll probably want to run right after school. If not, I'll just go myself right after work. If she doesn't go, I'll go to one of the "greenway" trails if it's not raining. I haven't been to one of those in a while since DD#2 likes to run at the indoor track. I'll have to get back to take DD#2 to the dinner and pick up DD#3 from play rehearsal.
DD#2 has a game on Friday night, so that will probably be a rest day.
I'm looking forward to playoff football this weekend. I did a lot of "running" around last weekend and missed parts of the games, but I told my girls not to bother me (especially from noon - 4:30 on Sunday - that's when my beloved Falcons play!). DD#2 doesn't have a game on Saturday, but they might have practice. I'll try to get a run in and my cleaning done before the game @ 4:30. DD#1 is making some kinds of plans with BF and my niece and her husband (niece is 27, but really close to DD#1 who is 17). I told them whatever they plan, if I have to do any driving, they'll have to work it around football! DD#3 has 4.5 hour play rehearsal on Saturday (the play is at the end of the month), but she'll be done @ 2:30.
It will be a busy rest of the week and weekend, but I'm determined to stick to it!

text: A stationary frontal system across northern North Carolina kept us in a warm and humid air mass on Tuesday. The day started with a few severe thunderstorms in southeastern North Carolina. By mid-afternoon strong thunderstorms developed in the coastal plain then moved eastward to Highway 17. Two tornadoes developed in Duplin County then moved eastward where two more tornadoes formed in eastern Pitt County. Some damage was reported in Duplin County and Pitt County during the late afternoon. Overall 8 tornadoes were reported in eastern North Carolina on Tuesday afternoon. The front responsible for the severe weather is not likely to move much over the next few days and that could lead to the possibility of more strong storms on Wednesday and Thursday. The front should finally move off the coast by Sunday so we may have some clearing by Mother's Day.

I have a few different users who all contribute notes to the same database (currently InfoTree). Can I put the Maple database file on a common network share and access it from more than one PC?
