Posted on 01/02/2010 4:59:08 AM PST by NYer
The mother of the messiah has been called many things in the last 2000 years — the Virgin Mary, Our Lady, the Blessed Mother. But call her "the Mother of God" and you'll see some Christians squirm.
This is nothing new. One day in the early fifth century, a priest preached a stirring sermon in the presence of the patriarch of Constantinople. His subject was the holy mother of Jesus. The preacher continually referred to Mary as the "Theotokos" meaning "God-bearer" or mother of God. This was no innovation — Christians had invoked Mary under this title for at least two hundred years. Nevertheless, at the close of the sermon, the patriarch ascended the steps of the pulpit to correct the preacher. We should call Mary the Mother of Christ, said Patriarch Nestorius, not the Mother of God. She was the mother of his human nature, not the mother of his divinity.
His comment sparked a riot. And the dispute rocked not only the congregation, but the entire empire. Cyril, patriarch of Alexandria, Egypt, immediately recognized that Nestorius' Marian theology was a symptom of a much deeper problem, a problem with the incarnation itself. For to deny Mary the title "Mother of God" makes of Jesus a dichotomy, a split personality. It would mean that God had not really embraced our humanity so as to become human. Rather, the humanity of Christ is hermetically sealed off from the divinity, as if Jesus were two persons, as if human nature was so distasteful that God, in Christ, had to keep it at arm's distance. It is okay, according to Nestorius, to say that in Jesus, God raised Lazarus, or multiplied the loaves, or walked on water. But it is not okay to say that in Jesus God is born or that God died.
Cyril, aware that this was a challenge to the heart of our faith, demanded that an ecumenical council be called to settle the matter. So in 431, the Council of Ephesus met, under Cyril's leadership, and solemnly proclaimed that Mary is indeed rightly to be honored as the Theotokos, the Mother of God. It proclaimed that from the moment of his conception, God truly became man. Of course Mary is a creature and could never be the origin of the eternal Trinity, God without beginning or end. But the second person of the blessed Trinity chose to truly become man. He did not just come and borrow a human body and drive it around for awhile, ascend back to heaven, and discard it like an old car. No, at the moment of his conception in the womb of Mary, an amazing thing happened. God the Son united himself with a human nature forever. Humanity and divinity were so closely bound together in Jesus, son of Mary, that they could never be separated again. Everything that would be done by the son of Mary would be the act both of God and of man. So indeed it would be right to say that a man raised Lazarus from the dead and commanded the wind and waves, that God was born that first Christmas day and that, on Good Friday, God died.
The Council of Ephesus, once confirmed by the Pope, became the third ecumenical council of the Catholic Church, and its teaching in this matter is dogma, truth revealed by God which all are bound to accept.
So why does the Roman liturgy celebrate the Octave of Christmas as the Feast of Mary the Mother of God? Because this paradoxical phrase strikes at the very heart of Christmas. The songs we sing and the cards we write extol the babe of Bethlehem as Emmanuel, God-with-us. He is so with us that after Gabriel's visit to the Virgin of Nazareth, the Divine Word can never again be divided from our humanity. What God has joined, let no man separate.

Ryan O'Neal is delivering a Bible "ordered" by a recently deceased gentleman. It was "the deluxe edition with the Mother of God gold lettering."
Calling Mary Mother of God Tells Us Who Jesus Is, I guess, but it also may lend credence to the theory of evolution? 'Cause a female gives birth to an offspring that is something other than herself?
Absolute nonsense! Confirmation by the Pope had little or nothing to do with it, at least insofar as the entire Church was concerned. The Council was convened by the Emperor, not the Pope. The Pope was invited by the Emperor, he, or rather his legates, didn't just show up. Prior to the opening of the Council, the pope had already given his opinion on the matter of Nestorius and his teachings and what should happen to him and his heretical fellow travelers. All that was "suspended" once the authority of the synod of the universal Church was evoked which clearly demonstrates that, at least in the 5th century, the pope of Rome was subject to a Great Council, not the other way around. I am surprised that a man like Dr. D'Ambrosio would attribute the dogmatic authority of the the decrees of the Councils of Ephesus to their acceptance by the pope. That's simply unnecessary papal propaganda which detracts from the central truth proclaimed by the Council which all Protestants need to understand and embrace, namely that Mary is the Most Holy Theotokos.
I don't see how a scientific theory about the development of genes, and origin of species, is made more credible by the incarnation.
How are the dots connected again?
I understand you take issue with the authority of the Pope according to Roman Catholics, but I don't see how Dr. D'Ambrosio is creating impediments for the belief in the theology of the communication of idioms as it is applied to Mary.
Authority of councils, or the bishop of Rome or otherwise, the theology is actually extremely sound. Considering the alternatives would then lead us to assume that God did not "assume humanity," and that our humanity cannot then be said to be sanctified by the divinity of God.
I don't like that outcome.
As an aside, given the argument that the Emperor convened the council, you wouldn't say that is an argument here nor there for Cesaro Papism either. So the argument as to "who convened the council" deciding its authority is a straw-man.
The difference is that Papal representatives were present, despite Nestorianism being a purely eastern heresy. I mean, why would there be representatives from Rome if there were no Nestorians in Italy?
Its really quite simple. As we have seen with what appears to be increasing frequency even here on FR, the expansion of ancient Christological and Trinitarian heresies among Protestant ecclesial groups is cause for great alarm. Ascribing the validity of any Trinitarian or Christological dogma to the fantasy of Papal approbation as opposed to the work of the Holy Spirit among the Council Fathers and the living out of the dogma among the Laos tou Theou, the People of God, all but assures the rejection of those dogmas by groups which often identify themselves by rejecting anything out of Rome. To say that the dogmas of the 7 Ecumenical Councils of the One Church are dogma because the bishop of Rome said so is ahistorical nonsense and positively destructive to the inculcation of the Faith among the heterodox.
" Authority of councils, or the bishop of Rome or otherwise, the theology is actually extremely sound. Considering the alternatives would then lead us to assume that God did not assume humanity, and that our humanity cannot then be said to be sanctified by the divinity of God.
I don't like that outcome."
I agree. However, I also have problems with another Latin dogma which makes the Theotokos something other than a human woman, a goddess of sorts. If the IC is not a Christological heresy, I don't know what is!
"The difference is that Papal representatives were present, despite Nestorianism being a purely eastern heresy. I mean, why would there be representatives from Rome if there were no Nestorians in Italy?"
You do understand what an Ecumenical Council is, don't you? Its a council of the whole Church. That's why Rome was there. Heresy in any part of the Church is a danger to the whole.
Thanks. It is about who Jesus is. If you believe Jesus is the 2nd Person of the Trinity, then Mary is the mother of God made flesh. No Christian should be puzzled. It is what it is.
We know who Jesus is, what we need to know is who is Obama?
Christ was fully man and fully God. Even the Scriptures tell us that.
Are you doubting the power of the Holy Spirit?
"Christ was fully man and fully God. Even the Scriptures tell us that.
Are you doubting the power of the Holy Spirit?"
Guess what I'm doubting is the Biblicity of little mother Mary's upgrade in status. Where I come from, she warn't much more than a nice girl who was in the right place at the right time.
A woman is a mans mother either if she carried him in her womb or if she was the woman contributing half of his genetic matter or both. Mary was the mother of Jesus in both of these senses; because she not only carried Jesus in her womb but also supplied all of the genetic matter for his human body, since it was through hernot Josephthat Jesus "was descended from David according to the flesh" (Rom. 1:3).
Since Mary is Jesus mother, it must be concluded that she is also the Mother of God: If Mary is the mother of Jesus, and if Jesus is God, then Mary is the Mother of God. There is no way out of this logical syllogism, the valid form of which has been recognized by classical logicians since before the time of Christ.
Although Mary is the Mother of God, she is not his mother in the sense that she is older than God or the source of her Sons divinity, for she is neither. Rather, we say that she is the Mother of God in the sense that she carried in her womb a divine personJesus Christ, God "in the flesh" (2 John 7, cf. John 1:14)and in the sense that she contributed the genetic matter to the human form God took in Jesus Christ.
Where I come from, she warnt much more than a nice girl who was in the right place at the right time.
According to Luke 1:28 - "Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you." These are the words spoken by God and delivered to us by the angel Gabriel (who is a messenger of God). Thus, when Catholics recite this verse while praying the Rosary, they are uttering the words of God.
Also, the phrase "full of grace" is translated from the Greek word kecharitomene. This is a unique title given to Mary, and suggests a perfection of grace from a past event. Mary is not just "highly favored." She has been perfected in grace by God. "Full of grace" is only used to describe one other person - Jesus Christ in John 1:14.
In Luke 1:43, Elizabeth's use of "Mother of my Lord" (in Hebrew, Elizabeth used "Adonai" which means Lord God) is the equivalent of "Holy Mary, Mother of God" which Catholics pray in the Rosary. The formula is simple: Jesus is a divine person, and this person is God. Mary is Jesus' Mother, so Mary is the mother of God (Mary is not just the Mother of Jesus' human nature - mothers are mothers of persons, not natures).
As you can see, Scripture clearly indicates that Mary was chosen to be the Mother of God. She was not just any girl, picked at random.
When Catholics recite "Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you" while praying the Rosary, they are uttering the words of God. Would that they'd stop there. Mary's nice-ness, Mary's grace-ness, Mary's chosen-ness, all granted. But she's teh mother of God's son, Jesus. She's not the Mother of God, nor is she Queen of Heaven.
14 [43] Even before his birth, Jesus is identified in Luke as the Lord.
15 [45] Blessed are you who believed: Luke portrays Mary as a believer whose faith stands in contrast to the disbelief of Zechariah (Luke 1:20). Mary's role as believer in the infancy narrative should be seen in connection with the explicit mention of her presence among "those who believed" after the resurrection at the beginning of the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 1:14).
Jesus is God, 2nd person of the Trinity Mary is His mother, hence, Mary is the mother of God. To claim otherwise, as we have read above, is heresy.
To claim otherwise, as we have read above, is heresy? I'm a heretic, then. Brand me.
OK; you are, at best, a Nestorian heretic. Do you claim to be a Christian?
" According to Luke 1:28 - "Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you." These are the words spoken by God and delivered to us by the angel Gabriel (who is a messenger of God). Thus, when Catholics recite this verse while praying the Rosary, they are uttering the words of God. / Also, the phrase "full of grace" is translated from the Greek word kecharitomene.

"Full of grace" is only used to describe one other person - Jesus Christ in John 1:14."
Hmmm..." 28And coming in, he said to her, "Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you." - NASB
Guess there is some debate on how best to translate the verse. Here is an explanation that seem reasonable, although I don't know Greek so it could be a bunch of baloney...
Mind you - this is not an insult to Mary, or an attempt to overturn early councils. I honestly don't care what Mary is called, as long as it isn't God. And I find the Immaculate Conception kind of strange, but I'm not smart enough to figure out the implications. And of course, that probably displays my amazing lack of curiosity...
So do we Orthodox; so did +Thomas Aquinas. Given the West's concept of Original Sin, however, an argument can be made for it. The problem is that it makes the Theotokos something other than a human mother and thus deprives Christ of His human nature, a Christoloical heresy of ever there was one.
"And I find the Immaculate Conception kind of strange....""

Oy! Just oy! I don't know whether to laugh or curse!
If "the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom," I'll wager that the denial of Mary is the beginning of ignorance.
I pity, oh do I pity, the miniscule myopic mind that can't accept the most beautiful human being ever to walk this most unworthy soil.
Ave Maria!
It's the most audacious, beautiful, heart-stopping, mind-boggling, mouth-shutting event in history. A God that does such a thing is the only being worthy of the term and truly "beyond anything you could ask or imagine."
The Immaculate Conception, the Incarnation, these stop cold all other god-stories. Period.
Hail Mary!
How do you tell the difference between a "nestorian heretic" and a regular imbecil?
"OK; you are, at best, a Nestorian heretic.
How do you tell the difference between a 'nestorian heretic' and a regular imbecil?"
I think perhaps one or the other does not understand that "Mother of my Lord" as Elizabeth exclaimed in Luke 1 is not the same as Mother of the Triune God, which is what is implied by "Mother of God."
I could be wrong, though. There might be more diagnostics available.
Yeah, diagnostics. That's it. That'll get you wherever you wanna go.
A bit of unscriptural nonsense, and illogic.
The Logos was God from all time, and his human body, born through Mary was not what made him God, nor has it anything to do with why he is God. Mary was not Mother of any part of his 'Godness,' nor did she ever claim to be.
You've never read the Creed, have you?
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
No great conundrum there: the NASB got it wrong.
Upon what do you base the notion that +Elizabeth was not recognizing Mary as the Theotokos, aside from the ancient heretical teachings of Arius and/or Nestorius come to life in modern American Protestantism?
"I could be wrong, though."
Indeed you could be.
The Immaculate Conception????????????????
This painting is "Our Lady of Perpetual Help."
Creeds are the work of sinful men, not the Word of God.
If you should ever become a member of the Body of Christ, you will see how feckless and irrelevant the classifications you live by are.
How deliciously judgmental. Or is it just mental you were going for?
Either way, bravo!
Ah, so am I safe in concluding that you reject Nicea? That would explain your less than orthodox Christian position and apparent lack of understanding of the Trinitarian theology of The Church, a theology, btw, shared by all the Reformers of the Protestant Revolutionso as far as I know.
Did someone tell you this or did you come to this conclusion all by yourself? If the latter, what did you base this conclusion on...the Scriptures The Church canonized and gave you? If the former, please, do tell us who this person was and what his/her qualifications were to make such a sweeping, and rather presumptuous, statement. Did he bring his own snake along when he preached this?
Written by Nicolaitans for their pleasure, and power.
I accept the Word of God; need little else.
I think Petronski is afraid of snakes.
The Creed? Do you know who the Nicolaitans were?
I sincerely doubt that. In context they are an object of derision, not fear.
I'm afraid of you. Are you a snake?
Yes, those that created a false humanist hierarchy to rule over the Lord's church. He said that he hated them. All men that call themselves "priests" are the Nicolaitans. There is no one between the saints and the Lord; he is our only priest. Each of us answers to him only.
You're afraid of all of us that read the word, and know the truth. You didn't need to tell me that.

Never was acknowledged in print, told all was well. Moved in April 2003, received call from old address collection agency in May. that was the call from Hell. Rude, bad language etc. (later found that new owner of property received call that same day with same rude manner. New owner said he would rather tear out all the wires than do service with Monitronics.)
Kept calling old address provider. Was told collector was fired and not to worry... all was well. Kept receiving bills. Continued to call. Finally in June was told to pay $58.98 and everything would be settled with Monitronics.
During this period the installer changed and I was in contact with a new person. This continued for months and I was forced to leave voice mail messages at Monitronics and local installer. Continued toattempt communications and even hung up on one bad call finally receiving letter for full collection on orig. contract.
No amount of communication worked because of Monitronics system. Under protest and stating that I did not acknowledge this to be a legal debt I paid to get relief. Do not trust this so called security company. Get a dog. Don't deal with one....and they protect some government buildings.

appartement goed gelegen, schoon en in overeenstemming met wat werd aangekondigd
appartement bien situé, propre et conforme à ce qui était annoncé
The apartment in Harlem was spacious and more than big enough for our group, consisting of two mums and three boys between 16 and early twenties, and an 18 year old for a few days.
The neighbourhood was friendly - our host Richardene's neighbour helped us out on arrival when there was trouble with the entrance door.
Nice restaurants around, subway just a few blocks away.
We would not hesitate to recommend this apartment, and would stay there again!
We were staying for a week in New York, three middle-aged couples, our first time in The City. There was enough space for us in the flat, the neighbourhood was friendly. The 120 th street is very quiet. The flat was situated close to the rail, few blocks away from the metro-station line 6.
The host was flexible and friendly, we had late flight home so she let us leave our baggages until three pm in the flat.
For the newcomers it would be useful to have some information available about closest groceries etc.
Very spacious, clean and located in a very quiet neighborhood.
Richardene was a very kind and helpful.
I recommend it!
I'm very disappointed it was not the place I booked Richardene has 2 property she charged me for the nicer and expensive apt and gave me the worst spot to be in East Harlem the ad said upper Manhattan and it's not. I pacifically said I had a dog with me before I booked. so Richardene comes in at 8 am asking for a deposit like really 8am. this place made me feel not safe at all no locks on the windows. I can go on definitely would not recommending her place ever
Mrs Richardene is a very nice and easygoing Lady, very uncomplicated. The flat was large, comfortable and clean. It is situated next to different Metrostations and is not far away from several Restaurants and Jazz Clubs. We can only recommand it and enjoyed our stay in NY.
Had a great time in NYC for the time we stayed at Upper Manhattan Apartment. Richardene was a great host happy to help when needed. Even went and bought couple of hairdryers for us. The Apartment was very spacious and clean, with large 3 bedrooms and two bathrooms split over two levels plus additional toilet on the main floor. Enough space for 6 of us and comfortably more.Well located for the subway which was around 7 min walk away to take us downtown Manhattan. The area was fine also despite the Harleem rumours. The people were nice and friendly, would definitely stay again and would recommend the apartment with its host.
The appartment is large and clean. Neighbour was really kind and hopefully there to welcome us and give a phone call to the owner so that he would show up.
We were were quite frustrated by the important lack of cooking ustensils in the kitchen, we mostly could cook pastas and meat.
Some other details made our stay not so good, like
-the owner late for check in (although we had given our flight schedule. Waited more than an hour outside with our 4 kids, coming from Vegas) and check out,
-150 bucks demanded for cleaning fee by mistake and eventually given back on departure (wimdu helped us for that. )
- deposit only in cash, you loose minimum ten percent of transfer fee and exchange if you are Europeean , and it takes 2 month. Owner refused to give deposit back in cash, although everything was clear in the house
- owner was ok on the first day for a free delayed check out. changed her mind last day probably because of our wimdu claim or deposit wishes.
So this was not a nightmare, but surely not an unforgettable stay and a bit disapointing.
I don t recommand it to a European family expecting to cook home.
The apartment was spacious and clean. It was located in walking distance to 2 subway stations (10 minute walk) the host was nice and explained about the area which was reasonably safe. There is a railway close to the apartment and could be heard. We had expected that there were 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms but there were only 3 bedrooms and an extra bed in the living room and 2 bathrooms with a bath and a toilet without bath. This meant that we had to use the living room as sleeping quarters. This host noticed and came with an inflatable bed, fine initiative. We had to pay 150 dollars in cleaning as well as 500 in deposit. The $ 500 was known (of which the maximum can be expected to get 450 back due to cost by bank transfer). All in all an ok apartment which can be recommended.

Skip to comments.Texas has a true Conservative Candidate for Governor in Debra Medina
Posted on 02/03/2010 10:30:31 PM PST by no dems
click here to read article
Some people never learn. Medina would be about as bad as Obama.
I just posted this link on another thread but it seems this thread is badly in need of some information on Medina's plans to replace property tax and assure no gun registration comes to Texas.
I found this video of Debra Medina, challenger for Governor in the upcoming primary, in which she is very forthcoming with her plans and ideas to go another direction.
This is part 4, http://www.youtube.com/watchv=nRq1Wz87MFg&feature=related
and the next one, part 5 is even better as she explains with clarity and detail how eliminating property tax will explode the Texas economy. Part 3 is the beginning of her speaking to a group in East Texas and in it she explains how and why she decided to run for Gov in 2008 before the Tea Party, etc. movements.
Enjoy and please pass along to others seeking information.
I was there, so were several thousand other Texas Republican delegates (the same people she will need their votes, $$s and volunteer effort to get elected.) You can drink the Libertarian cool-aid all day long, but it won't change the fact that Medina has no chance.
Thanks for the info
I wouldn't go that far. Medina might be naive, but I think she is sincere in wanting to follow the Constitution. That alone makes her infinitely better than Zero.
Thanks for the ping!
What was her position on e-verify AND 287-g?????
What choice do we have?
Medina ad:
Who is going to think more about Latino families? Rick Perry, Kay Bailey Hutchison or me, who has a Latino family? (Medinas cultural heritage is German and Bohemian.)
She told a colleague last month in an e-mail. Being married, however, to someone with a Mexican American heritage, I certainly embrace the culture. But before she explained that, she told my colleage, who had asked her whether she considers herself Latina: Id not consider myself anything other than a wife and mother, a nurse and a patriot. I believe we too often get into race when its immaterial.
No, Thanks, Mrs Medina.
She is also running Spanish ads. Hello Mrs.Medina! If they cannot speak English then they have no business voting IMO. When they learn English then let them vote. Assimilate. Learn English. Appreciate all America gives you.
So Im sure she is blowing a lot of hot air just like Obama did just to get elected. Running those ads and saying what she has, tells me the border issue is just a try to get votes for herself.
No, thanks, Ill stick with ol RINO Perry. Texas has remained in better shape than almost any if not all of the states in the union under Perry's watch. As someone said, 'he's the devil we know'.
The motly crew running for governor is laughable; a MUSLIM, a trecherous RINO woman* (Hutchison) and a woman with questionable loyalties

Kay Bailey Hutchison (R.-Texas) slipped into an omnibus appropriations bill that Congress passed on December 18, 2007. Hutchisons amendment put a loophole in the fence law that allowed the secretary of Homeland Security not to build the fence Congress had mandated the year before.

Is she going to cry when you she loses, just like she did on stage at the RPT State Convention when she was booed as her Paulbot floor motions were voted down soundly by the delegates on the floor?
I very much enjoy your contributions to FR; however, over and over again you use personal insults instead of reasoning when discussing the effect of the Ron Paul revolution on the Republican party. I think you are very wrong, and despite the 15 percent of RPs views that I completely disagree with, I think the other 85 percent of his platform is necessary for our country to survive.
As Ronnie put it in 1975: Id like to see the Libertarian PartyI dont say they should quit being a partyId like to see them, Id like to see the conservatives, Id like to see some of these other parties maybe come to this remnant of the Republican Party which is basically conservative in its thinking and, I think, akin to the philosophy Im talkingId like to see them all come in (and this would include a large segment of the Democratic Party in this country, that certainly proved in 1972 that they do not follow the leadership of the Democratic Party any longer) and be able to say to them, OK were not saying to you give up what youre doing, but, cant we find a common meeting ground in order at least to defeat first of all those who are doing what theyre doing to us (and this present Congress is an example)?
In addition, I rather enjoyed Medina at the state convention, and I also enjoyed the enthusiasm and the yearning for liberty of the younger Ron Paul supporters. It certainly added excitement to the event, and I find them much more palatable the power-brokering Republican Pharisee-like establishment with their lips firmly planted on Tina Benkisers derriere.
Gov. Perry and Sen. Hutchinson are no prizes agreed
but Medina is not ready for prime time - maybe, maybe not. I think she's worth a shot. At least she speaks of liberty, freedom, the Constitution, the vision of our founding fathers, individual control over our schooling, health care, business decisions, contracts, security, and so on.
Again, Ronnie in 1975: If you analyze it I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism. I think conservatism is really a misnomer just as liberalism is a misnomer for the liberalsif we were back in the days of the Revolution, so-called conservatives today would be the Liberals and the liberals would be the Tories. The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom and this is a pretty general description also of what libertarianism is.
The only way she can accomplish anything is by working with the legislature, and we don't even know WHO that will be until November. If the Democrats managed to get a majority in the House, there will be a new Speaker, and he will could be a liberal. As to the radical notion of doing away with the property tax, well, I do feel that I am paying rent to the government to live in my own house. Are there enough people who feel the same way? I doubt it.
Her position? I don't know what 287-g is...a proposition?
On "e-verify" I heard her say in the second debate that she did not think that was the best way to curb illegal immigration and not fair to small businesses. Don't recall details but leaned instead to employees requiring Texas driver license or other verifiable ID and called on law enforcement to act on those who provide false ID as well as those who attempt to use it. Please don't quote me on this and I would suggest you visit her site for more clarity.
I hope you wouldn't make a decison on your vote based on this one issue of disagreement, but at least hear her out. She is very adament about doing everything we can to close borders to illegals and to drugs.
Have you been to South Texas lately? Hispanics hold almost entirely all elected office and own majoritiy of businesses in every town south of Victoria. Too late to close the gate now. The immigrants didn't just assimilate, they took over! and the sooner our candidates realize that the more we can get representatives in who will lead for Texans, not the federal government.
I appreciate the many hard working, America loving hispanics and the contributions they are making. It is the illegal border crashers who come over to take advantage of government hand-outs that are the problem.
Yes, we need to do what we can for the poor and opressed Mexican people whose government is on the wrong track. That must come from our free-will humanity and not from government mandates.
Our government in TEXAS has the obligation to close our borders...to illegals and to drugs. Medina is ready to do just that. With her bold approach and fearless attitude, I think she will rally the legislature.
If you think the Democrats will be leading in the elections you must have been out of the country all winter. It's obvious voters are bent on replacing all politicians now in office wherever there are viable alternatives.I hope you join the movement now spreading across the nation.
sheila jackson lee in houston needs to go ...
Eliminate property taxes don't make sense?
I am helping her put large signs around TX hope she wins. I have told most property owners I know about her doing away with property tax. Every one of them is for her so far. We know the people who don't own property will be glad to see the tax put on sales tax so they help pay for their kids education. We know they don't feel right with us paying way, they want to help pay for their kids.
Thank You for pointing out whats really going on in Texas
IMO, Texas is headed down the same path that Ca has chosen
In case anyone has not noticed Ca is not a pretty picture
If you want to follow the path of Ca elect Hair Gel or ms. hyphenated
At least you have a chance to elect Medina
It's your choice what path you want to follow
Ca has a choice between Ebay MegTard , Poizner or Moonbeam Brown.... whoopppiiiiieeee !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Think about it before you vote
She can say anything. If she doesn't have solid support from conservatives in the state Congress it doesn't matter. I don't know of any elected officials who are publicly endorsing her. Are there any?
Awesome !
The most important reason to vote for Debra is that she is the only candidate who understands the reality that the federal government will never - and can never given its very nature - be reformed from the inside out to once again live within the limited confines assigned to it in the US Constitution.
Debra understand that the only path to ultimately bring down the progressive socialist state that has been unconstitutionally created over the last 110 years is for the states to eventually say enough and refuse to comply with unconstitutional federal mandates via nullification and interposition.
In ten years of governing I have not seen one example of Governor Perry "getting this," or being willing to use the sovereign powers of the state of Texas to resist the federal government in the name of life, liberty, or property.
Every once in a while he talks a good game, throws out the phrase "secession," or refuses to accept a small portion of the annual federal bribes... but he is still operating under the impression that somehow we can still use the federal government (either via the Courts, the Congress, or the Whitehouse) to resist the federal government's unconstitutional mandates.
Is this what she is espousing in her Spanish language radio ads?
I'm voting for Debra Medina and have alerted family and friend email list to the same. My Medina yard sign is now up. Bumper sticker to follow.
Go Debra!
No, those are meant more as a public service message about
the proper nursing of folks mauled by the dread Chupacabra.
Unless my Spanish fails me. It might have been about fence jumping.
The phrases are really quite similar.
I went to lunch where she spoke and she sounded like the usual Libertarian cross-dressing as a Republican. She's a Libertarian. I don't trust Libertarians. Libertarians are one step up from Anarchists.
... and I've heard and watched Governor Perry for a decade and he's nothing but a wish-washy RINO who has no intention and has never had any intention of beginning the long overdue process of dismantling the socialist welfare state at the state level. Nor, as evidenced by the actions of his many years in office, does he have any intention of taking on the unconstitutional federal mandates emanating from Washington DC.
AT THE VERY BEST what you will get from another four years from Perry is someone who will maintain the untenable status quo. Sure, he'll stop the Democrats from pushing whatever their agenda of the moment is, but when we have a Republican governor and a Republican legislature we should be doing much more than just "perrying" whatever stupid ideas the Democrats are supporting at the time. Perry isn't a conservative... he's a big-government moderate and in Texas the chief enabler of the status quo.
In fact, that's what a vote for Perry really is... a vote to maintain the status quo and all the big-government freedom-sucking, prosperity-sucking socialism and progressivism that we've had shoved down our throats from Washington DC and Austin for the last 100 years.
A vote for Debra Medina, on the other hand, is a vote for liberty, for capitalism, and more importantly, a vote to begin the long overdue process of restoring our surrendered freedoms.
A vote for Debra Medina is a vote to begin the long overdue process of restoring to Texas and ultimately to the United States of America the kind of limited, conservative government envisioned by the founding fathers and mandated by the US Constitution.
Think about apartments and home rentals being lowered after owners no longer owe property tax. Think about Texans having all that extra money to spend or invest? Even if the sales tax goes up to the maximum estimate of 15%, food and utilities and probably other items will be exempt so even the poorest get a fair shake and like you say, share in paying for their children's education.
Spreading the burden across all consumers is the most sensible way finance the state's needs and I like to think Texas will pioneer this and show the way for others to follow.
Thank you for helping spread the word for Medina. I have tried in vain to post some articles. Would you have the time to post them for me if I send you the URL? Here is one I found tonight about the property tax study that Medina has relied on.
I want my Governor to be clever and smart enough to know how to get the job done for Texans. To ignore the Hispanic voting block would be naive at least and purely stupid at the most.
I certainly don't have a problem with her Spanish speaking ads. I wonder if Perry and Hutchinson are running any. Have you checked that out?
I also believe that Texas can lead the way in showing other states how to get out of debt and how to nullify federal government programs and mandates.
It looks like Medina is going to force a runoff if she doesn't win the primary outright. In any case, her campaign has a good chance of becoming nationalized even though it's only for the governorship. I think the issues of border control, property ownership and state sovereignty will capture the attention of America.
Rather they/you tend to "drink the Libertarian kool-aid" and insult/attack anyone that disagrees with them. I try to avoid overt insults or Polemic arguments, and try stick to what I know to be true, but "if the shoe fits ..." ;)
I have a problem with her pandering to people who only speak a foreign language and then saying that she is going to be tough on the border. No politician is going to stop the flow of illegal alien criminal scum flowing into America but to suck up to them is wrong.
I have a REAL problem with her support of Sotomayor as she sure as hell is not conservative and certainly is a relatively unintelligent racist nominated for ONE reason.
I lost all respect for Colin Powell when he supported Obama for one reason only and this is no different.
It is clear that Paulbots can ignore anything to support a libertarian even the well being of their State or Country.
Close to what was said about the Kenyan Klown.
2} She is a leader
The same was said about the Kenyan Klown.
3) She is not a loose cannon
The same was said about the Kenyan Klown.
4) She works well with others
The same was said about the Kenyan Klown.
We already have a no experience, know nothing, hopey changy President why would we use the same mold to elect our Governor?
"I have a REAL problem with her support of Sotomayor"
What you said is not true.
Medina agreed with the vote against Sotomayor; then she pointed out that the Democrats (specifically, George Lopez) were able to characterize a vote against Sotomayer as being racist because of a lack of Republican outreach among Hispanics. (I disagree with her as to a lack of outreach to Hispanics.)
So now that your outrage is actually due to your misunderstanding, are you willing to have a genuine discussion about the Gov candidates?
Pretty arrogant attitude there stat-boy. Medina chastised Hutchinson about not supporting Sotomayor.
As to a genuine discussion, we can have one after the libertarianbots pull off their blinders and put down their pom-poms and address ALL the issues being brought up not just a few with memorized talking points something you are very guilty of btw.
"but they are truly not up to the task of garnering enough votes to win elections"
Very valid concern.
"Rather they/you tend to drink the Libertarian kool-aid and insult/attack anyone that disagrees with them. I try to avoid overt insults or Polemic arguments, and try stick to what I know to be true, but if the shoe fits ... ;)"
I see this happening on both sides of the Republican Party. I honestly try to keep an even keel here at FR, at Party meetings, at conventions, etc. Fair debate is permissible on any point, as far as I am concerned. I do get a little upset at left wing globalists. I also wish the Repub establishment had taken more of a fatherly approach to the (much younger) recent Paulbots. [Great, now you got me saying it.] For example, I have entered my 40s, and in my experience at least 80 percent of those younger than I who showed up at Repub party meetings over the past 2 years has been a Ron Paul supporter. The newly revived Young Republican group (I am too old to be a young republican) is, based on my interaction with the members, almost entirely Ron Paul supporters.
Seriously, I do not have a problem working with someone who I consider mostly conservative. [I consider myself 100 percent conservative, of course! ;evangelical Christian, homeschool, teach the kids to shoot at 4-H, etc.] I have been involved with various Republican groups since the 1980s (since I became an adult), and I know how things work. We debate during the primary, and after that is over, we work for victory in November.
Part of me misses being a Texas Republican during the 1980s. We were more of a tight group back then. Nothing like wearing a Vote Democrat, its easier than getting a job t-shirt around during college.
Finally, if my responses or debates with you, anymouse, or others here at FP are viewed as an insult, please accept my sincere apology because that is not my intent.
"Pretty arrogant attitude there stat-boy."
Shoot. Sorry. I have a biting, somewhat sarcastic, and at times silly style of humor, which often does not translate well via written word because the tone of my speech is missing. Not my intent, seriously. I remember your name well enough to know you have a thick skin. In person, I make fun of myself at least as much as I do the world around me.
"Medina chastised Hutchinson about not supporting Sotomayor."
Again, not true. The original source for that misunderstanding is the following piece my Medina:
No problem. It is easy to sink into heated "debates" online, as most times you never meet the people that you are arguing with and really only have what they have been able to articulate in a few brief sentences or paragraphs written in haste to judge their position on. It takes purposeful restraint and self-discipline to avoid falling into that mode. It happens.
Regarding how the RPT handled the Ron Paul supporters at the convention, it was the RP folks who did the sneak attack on the county SD caucuses attempting to eventually disrupt the state convention(s). The RPT probably did over-react, coming down hard on them, but given they only had spotty info. on what was coming and the RP had filed the legal claim at the 11th hour, they really had no choice but to assume the worst and fight back hard.
The U.S. kind of did that in response to the 9/11/01 attack too. Another issue that some RP people disagree with us on. But when you pull the tiger's tail, you better expect to get his teeth.
All that aside, I think Medina is adding a positive element to the gov. race by bringing up valid Constitutional issues. Just wish Perry and Hutchinson would follow suit and not embarrass themselves by going down in the mud with each other. They are writing Bill White's campaign ads against the GOP nominee for him.
Bill White is an extremely smart, polished, slick, former top in the US Susman attorney, top of whatever school he ever went to, articulate, successful as a plaintiffs attorney and as a cut-throat business leader, very wealthy, weasel of a politician. He is going to crush Perry in the debates with his slick talk, and his campaign will be near perfect. We have not run up against a Democrat like him in Texas for a long time (probably since Bentsen). I hope that the Party is not taking the race for granted, I am not, and we are going to have to fight for every vote in order to win.
When I want the truth about Obama I check his website too.
Rolling eyes ..............
Modified the talking points now that it is understood that she was dead wrong and uninformed when she said she was going to end gun registration in Texas?
Is she still "wishing" she could carry a gun into the grocery store like Rick Perry, my wife and I do?
Maybe in the future when her website is modified to correct errors the changes can be highlighted in bright yellow so we can more easily find the revisions.
"Im voting for her in the primary."
I'll be watching the polls and as soon as she gets ahead of Kay baby I'll vote for Medina.
Since when do y'all go shopping with Perry?
Has she really recanted her registration remark?
I have no interest in going to her site to dig around
for it.
It was interesting to see all the Medina-bots claiming
that we really DO have gun registration, grasping at
Here's a test for 'em:
HG: Hey Eaker, you remember that Nagant I bought a few years ago?
Eaker: Yeah, what about it?
HG: I'm tired of it eating up space in the gun cabinet. You want it?
Eaker: Sure, it's a nice piece.
HG: Give me eighty bucks for it.
Eaker: OK, here you go.
HG: It's all yours.
(Eaker packs up the gun and leaves)
No paperwork changed hands, no agency was informed.
Exercise for the class:
"If you believe you can remove property taxes without one of the two solutions above, then I have some ocean front property in Dumas, Texas that I want to sale you!
But is it really possible to completely replace property taxes in Texas by expanding the sales tax base?
Yes. The Texas Public Policy Foundation (TPPF) released a study in April, 2009 showing that simply expanding the sales tax base to include categories of goods and services that are not currently taxed in Texas, but that are taxed in other states, would replace almost all the revenues currently collected by the property tax. Examples of some services that we currently do not tax include mining services, drilling services, legal services, limousine services and others. By also adding in a one-time sales tax on the saleof property (as opposed to an annual tax on property ownership), the TPPF study showed that we could replace the entire property tax revenues with a modest increase in the sales tax rate to 8.8 percent.
"The same was said about the Kenyan Klown. "
That's what you get for watching the State run media.
Great come back!
You going to be in town all week? How's the veal?
You left off the single biggest item that will have the greatest effect on the most people.
Why am I not surprised.
Is there a single honest bone in just one Medinabot?
Be ready to be ignored as Medinabots will only address issues that they have pre-printed talking points (typically lies) already in hand.
Thinking on one's feet is not a strong trait in Medina supporters.
When I am afraid to debate the truth of a statment I make I resort to attacks without offering evidence of my statement.
Got links?
The Governor threads are littered with pro-Medina false statements that have been thoroughly refuted and questions asked of Medina supporters that are never addressed.
I'll be damned if I'll recap everything posted the past few weeks for it just to be ignored again.
One good example is the Medina pledge to end gun registration in Texas. Is she still backing this false promise even though everyone knows there is no registration or is it just going to be ignored? What would go a long way to her gaining some support would be for her to just admit she was wrong.
For her and her supporters to continue to ignore this elephant in the room each time it is brought up is just another lie by omission in each instance. Lies, even the same ones repeated tend to add up and sour people's opinion of the liar.
Ignoring that she is a Ron Paul supporter isn't helping her either as each time it is ignored the bigger of a negative it becomes.
Maybe Medina will get a joint endorsement from Ron Paul and Mitt Romney so we can forget about her all together and get on to the business of beating the democrats.

Right where I wanted to be
As I brushed back strands of hair to pull through a pony-
tail holder, I wasn't thinking about what had happened yesterday or what I needed to accomplish tomorrow.
Somehow, I muted that little voice inside that tried its darnedest to make me hurry and worry as I dabbed lipstick on teenaged boys and applied eyeliner to ladies wearing wide-brimmed hats.
The choral room at Gothenburg High School floated with colorful long dresses and vibrated with shouts, laughter and jitters before each performance of "The Music Man" that students performed recently.
The makeup station often turned into a hair-styling salon where we transformed modern "do's" into buns and tresses from 1912, when the story takes place.
"You have beautiful skin," I told one of daughter Betsy's classmates as I smudged rouge onto his smooth cheek.
"Thank you," replied the traveling salesman who was not embarrassed in the least.
Betsy, who had eavesdropped, glared at me.
A few minutes later, I patted stray hairs on a low-neck bun worn by the Pianola Girl.
I loved the familiarity of her mane, which I had fashioned on opening night, and looked forward to seeing the townswoman who waited patiently for me to comb her hair and gently pat makeup on her face. She would talk to me a little more each time we met.
On Sunday, the last day of the performance, I realized I would miss those planes of time in the choral room and the intimacy that doing hair and makeup offered.
Had I chosen to spend my time away from the office munching popcorn at a movie or snuggling in bed with a good book or filling it with frenetic activity, I would have missed divine moments of meaningful relationship.
Ank Butterfly Dreaming describes wealth as a measure of the degree to which we are willing to share intimacy with our world.
By sharing myself with others, I received something much more valuable than dollars and cents.

FinCEN's Proposed AML Rule: Regulate "Funding Portals" as Broker-Dealers
Practising Law Institute - May 2016
By Nicole S. Healy
Efforts to rein in Proposition 65 abuse have gone awry
The Daily Journal - 4/18/2016
By Thomas H. Clarke, Jr.
(Originally published in the Los Angeles/San Francisco Daily Journal, April, 18, 2016. Copyright 2016 Daily Journal Corporation, reprinted with permission.)
The lofty goal of Proposition 65 was to incentivize manufacturers, importers, distributors, wholesalers and retailers to reformulate their products so that consumers were not needlessly exposed to "listed chemicals" (the term of art used for all substances listed under the Prop. 65 process). Yet, because of its complexity and burden shifting, it was and has been prone to abuse.
Going on the Offensive: How Retail and Restaurant Employers Can Mitigate Risk by Implementing Mandatory Arbitration Agreements
National Retail and Restaurant Defense Association (NRRDA) - March 2016
By Kenneth J. Anand
Over the past several years, there has been a growing trend of retail and restaurant businesses requiring their employees to sign mandatory arbitration agreements. Why? When properly drafted, mandatory arbitration agreements can drastically reduce risk by eliminating private employment actions for wage-and-hour, employment discrimination and other labor and employment claims. Aggrieved employees who might normally pursue causes of action in court, would be required to submit their action to final and binding arbitration, provided they have explicitly agreed to do so and their agreement is enforceable.

5000 and chipped manual lenses
The real question is: how does the 5000 work with manual focus lenses?

#3. "RE: 5000 and chipped manual lenses" | In response to Reply # 0
To be brutally honest, it can be a bit difficult. The viewfinder on the D5000 (and D3000/D40/D60) is a penta-mirror, not a pentaprism, so it's slightly darker by construction. It's also smaller than your film cameras, since the sensor is smaller. Nikon plays as many optical tricks as possible to compensate, but at the end of the day, manually focusing on DX is simply not as accurate as on 35mm or FX.
Having said that, there are plenty of circumstances - probably most, in fact - where it's good enough to yield quality results. Certainly anything wider than about 35mm is going to be dead easy, simply due to the DOF involved. (Let's exclude the very few f/1.4 lenses from this discussion.) To take an example from the D40 forum, the Tokina 11-16 is almost a can't-miss situation since you'd have to make a focus error of more than several feet to get the subject out of focus. I've had little trouble using any of my MF lenses under 50mm on DX, and that includes the 35/f1.4 AIS. However, on the 135/f2 and 500/f8, where DOF is microscopic, the situation is different. The 50/f1.4 is in this category too, but only if shot wider than about f/2.8 or so.

The focusing screen on the DP5000 is barely adequate to the task. The wonderful split image prism that marked Nikon as an easy to focus screen is just not there and as far as I know, not available.
Too bad, that such an established and proven piece of technology has been tossed. But such is life when the market is for newbies and review sites pound how "bright" the viewfinder is instead of how functional it is.
When I manual focus, spinning back and forth 4 or 5 times is not uncommon instead of the slow twist to match splits on my F. Its annoying.

It's not so much that it's "newbies," although that definitely does contribute to the issue. I certainly don't qualify as a "newbie" and were it not for budget considerations(*), I don't think I'd have done very much MF since the AF cameras arrived, outside of macro work(**). For most users, AF is both faster and more accurate than MF, yielding overall better results. If it didn't, there wouldn't be such an overwhelming choice in the market.
Given that AF is the order of the day, the finders are designed and optimized for AF. The split image rangefinder is a distraction when one is using AF, so it's not present. It's also more expensive to produce, another reason not to provide it for most users, especially on models like the D3000 and D5000 where price is one of the key selling points. To put this in perspective, consider a KatzEye screen. Even if it is a very high margin item, its production cost exceeds $35; I'd guess more like $60-$65 given a $155 price. Even if Nikon's volumes could drive down $60 to $35 (doubtful, but possible(***)), that would still add about $100 to the price of the camera after all is accounted for. Is it worth adding $99 to the price of this class of camera to include a feature that the vast majority will not only not use, but will find inconvenient and distracting?
And finally, again especially on this class of camera, traditional split image rangefinders (as well as microprism collars, to some degree) just don't work as well with slow lenses such as the f/3.5-5.6 that are usually used. Sure there are f/1.4 lenses available, but who wants even some range finder blackout? OK, the KatzEye with the OptiBrite addition works around this, but again we're back to the pricing problem - OptiBrite would add at least another $7-$10 to the cost and $20-$35 to the price, over and above the screen itself? This would be much easier to justify for a camera at the D3s or D3x price point.
For the small minority that enjoy, prefer and/or require a majority manual focus environment, Katzeye does provide a viable alternative. Unfortunately it's expensive, due to the niche nature of the product. Having used them on two different DX bodies (albeit both equipped with somewhat brighter pentaprisms), I can vouch for their effectiveness.
(*) It may not be apparent from my current profile, but when I returned to photography six years ago, I had both a collection of older MF lenses from the 1980s and essentially no photography budget whatsoever. So I spent several years using mostly those old lenses, which for a while meant not only MF but also no metering as I was shooting a D100...
(**) I do almost all of my macro work in manual focus mode. However, the split-image rangefinder rarely helps in this work, because it's almost never where I need to optimize focus. And focusing with the rangefinder (or microprism collar) then reframing isn't a great solution either as that's pretty much a do-over for framing in this environment.
(***) Edit: actually, it's likely, since this would replace the existing screen in the bill-of-materials. Nonetheless, it would still add significantly to the overall price.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO) -- As of July 1, home brewing will be legal in all 50 states. It's a growing trend that's been gaining ground over the last 30 years, but recently the number of home brewers has jumped tens of thousands.
Craft brews and microbreweries led the way for homemade lagers, ales and other hoppy beverages. Today about one million Americans brew their own batch at least once a year.
For one local man, what started out as a hobby turned into much more.
"I just got fascinated with the different flavors I was coming across, and I wanted to do it at home," said owner of the Kettle Club Daniel Collins.
Collins said his wife got him into crafting.
"My wife bought me a kit for my birthday, so I made a kit for my birthday, and it just kept going from there," said Collins.
Collins said the home brew process takes about four to five weeks in total and supplies and ingredients can cost as little as $85.
The biggest things to remember when crafting your own brew are not get discouraged and sanitation to protect the quality of the product and your health.

Redskins release K Billy Cundiff, sign Kai Forbath
|Cundiff's stint in DC lasted five games. (US Presswire)
After missing three of four kicks in Week 4, seemingly the only thing that saved Redskins kicker Billy Cundiff's job was the fact he successfully nailed the 41-yard game-winner to allow Washington to escape with a victory over the Buccaneers.
But after blowing a 31-yarder in Week 5, the Redskins have had enough of Cundiff. He was released Tuesday, the team announced, and Kai Forsah was signed to replace him.
CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reported Monday that the Redskins were working out three kickers.
La Canfora noted the other two to try out on Monday were Olindo Mare and Josh Brown. But the Redskins are going ahead with Forbath, who was undrafted coming out of UCLA but signed by the Cowboys and placed on their reserved list last year. He has also spent time with the Buccaneers.
Meanwhile, this is the second time that Cundiff -- who's 7-for-12 on field goal attempts this season -- will have been cut this season (he also lost out to Justin Tucker in the preseason for the right to kick for the Ravens).
"I'm disappointed, especially when it's a chip shot in there," coach Mike Shanahan said Sunday. "What was it, the 13-yard line? Something in that range. That's always disappointing when you have a chance to get a little momentum going, especially at that time of the game."

Raymond,I don't think Saha and Nielsen were wasteful - if you look at how 'arry worked, he used a sticking plaster approach. If there was a problem, 'arry fixed it. He didn't seem to plan 'future'.IMHO, I think that is more likely a reason why he had a problem with Levy et al. In the past we seemed to buy young(er) and look to develop players to sell on. That changed a bit, and we stopped selling. But still the 'ethos' appeared to be 'young'.'arry changed that (and it's difficult to know whether that was due to not having funds at the right time, not finding the right fit players, or simply failure in the transfer market) and seemed to buy to 'fix'. Bassong, Gallas, Nielsen, Saha were in my mind examples of that. Even Parker, who has turned into a good signing, is/was limited life.So, to me, even though some of the purchases worked, I could see that it may have gone against the grain with the board.What confuses me though, is that I would guess that the final say on any purchase is still with the board. So I'd be gobsmacked if they initially rubber stamped the purchases, and then later used them as a reason to sack him.

Weird problem. I have this RewriteRule in my htaccess file:
RewriteRule ^participants/profile/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/? /index.php?page_id=83&profile=$1&title=$2 [NC,L]
If the condition is matched, I'll be sent to page 83 correctly, but the extra querystring variables are GONE (I've printed out $wp_query->query_vars to make sure).
Here's why I'm stumped... entering something like
www.mysite.com/index.php?page_id=83&profile=42&title=deep-thought directly into the browser WORKS... just not when using the htaccess RewriteRule.
$wp_query->query_vars grabs the extra variables exactly as expected... but only when you enter the URL directly. When using a RewriteRule, the extra variables are lost.
Any ideas on how to get around this?

Have any of you had your child's IQ tested? If so, how did it go - not the score but the experience?
I'm afraid to. I'd rather not know! I don't think knowing would change our goals for the kids anyway.
But I have heard quite a few people have testing done and it was a good thing to get a better education for their child

BCPAC - Parents of kids in the performing arts!
We took our ds6 in August for an ADD eval and were on the fence about wether he has ADD or is gifted. We could not afford a full work up and so we did the IQ testing and figured he would give us his opinion on the ADD. He did feel our ds had ADD based on the testing experience. It took him almost 4 hrs to complete the test, and at the 2 hr mark when most are finished or close, he was barely half way through the 2nd part. He got many easy questions wrong and many hard questions correct, and was observed as changing directions in the middle of a test and then doing them right. He was consistant with this pattern throughout the test. Ds came out of on of the testing sessions with pictures of houses on beaches drawn on his palm...it was really not a great experience because he wasn't focused and it was super expensive. He did not quite test as gifted though the tester felt it was a not a true measure of his IQ,but more of a picture for how he was able to do on that day. Our ped said it would be hard for him to test well because of the ADD. The psych also added that he will likely not do well on standardized testing because of his inability to remain focused. In the end we felt the ADD dx was correct though his teacher does not agree...most days. lol
I want to add that we went back to the ped last week and he said his behavior sounds like a classic gifted kid behavior and this confirmed to us that we had good reason to be confused on what we are seeing. He also agreed that some of his symptoms seem like inattentive type add so we started on meds this week.
We had IQ testing done but it was part of our overall testing process. When DD passed the attention tests with flying colors the pscyh suggested it going on the theory that IQ and attention test scores wouldn't match up thus causing inattention to be there. In other words, her IQ score was much higher than her attention score which put her in the 2E category.?
What is a 2E catagory?
My DS has not been diagnosed with ADD/ADHD but I am doing an IQ test to help me gain more information about why he is bored and has a hard time focusing, I'm sure if the psychologist thinks he needs to be tested for ADD then she will tell me at that time, she is aware of his focus issues.

When DS was given an IQ test at school, the school psychologist knew ahead of time that he has ADHD, so she chose the IQ test based on that. The test she chose (RIAS) doesn't not rely on timed testing, since she knew that any timed tests would not give an accurate assessment of his IQ because of his inability to focus and need for constant redirection.
I wasn't there for the actual testing sessions, but she broke it up over two sessions and she tested him in the morning, when his focus tends to be a little bit better. She said he seemed to enjoy the testing and the challenge of the questions as they got harder. He didn't say much over it, but it didn't seem to bother him at all.

We did the IQ testing, which was a waste of time. My son has attention issues that were far more important than an iq test! ( kinda mad at myself)
The best help we received is from his pediatrician
. He is now on concerta and doing extremely well in the 6th grade! He is in advanced classes.
We've done it twice. The first time was HORRIBLE. The room was tiny, had toys in it (hello, instant loss of focus for any kid, let alone ADHD kids!) and it was hot in there. I told the tester that ODS was hot (his ears / face were red!!) and her response? "I'm not hot". Well - I never said YOU WERE. *roll eyes*
They also marked him down on stupid things ....
They tested his IQ VERY LOW. We had another assessment done last April and they re-tested his IQ & it was a completely different situation. More laid back and he really liked the tester,w hich also made a huge difference in his responses.

Savor the flavors of everyday real food, fresh from the garden or stored on your pantry shelves.

peanut butter and jelly, sandwiches, s'mores, taste tests, food review
One of our staff members now lives in and works out of her apartment in New York City. She is fond of sharing her unique restaurant finds while exploring the streets of New York. Last week she told me about Peanut Butter and Co., which serves only nut butter and fruit spread sandwiches — the ultimate PB & Js. Here is their feature sandwich for this week — September 8-14: White Chocolate Wonderful & Blueberry Preserves. Oh, my — I want one — now!!
On Monday, someone suggested that we build a bonfire and have s'mores during our weekly staff meeting — all quite unlikely as we work in an office building surrounded by a parking lot with no fire pits in sight. Being the oldest on staff and therefore officially "Mother," I was determined to find a way to have s'mores around the conference table if not by a crackling fire. Purchasing the graham crackers was a no-brainer and marshmallow Fluff easily substituted for the real thing. But what to do about the chocolate bars? As I wandered down the PB & J aisle at the grocery store, I happened to notice a new product – Peanut Butter & Co. Dark Chocolate Dreams — oh, yes!!! A sinfully delicious combination of peanut butter and very good chocolate. New York City comes to Topeka, Kan.!
Well, as you can imagine the conference room s'mores were a real hit! And when I go to New York City to visit my granddaughter, I plan to take her out for a gourmet PB & J.
