I recently watched the film Catfish, a documentary that involves the discovery of an 8-year old art prodigy. It got me thinking: how do you know if your child is a prodigy? I guess if a kid is teaching themselves minuets in 30 minutes like Mozart did, it's pretty clear. But most of the time, navigating the line between a work-of-art and work-of-fun is probably much fuzzier.
A child prodigy is defined as "a child with a skill set or an ability that is incredibly accomplished, far beyond their years," according to Alissa Quart, author of Hothouse Kids: The Dilemma of the Gifted Child.
Maybe it's more clear who the prodigies are when the focus is an objective area like math or science, but art is so subjective that it would seem harder to validate who really is an art prodigy. What's the measure: an expert stating that the child's process and technique are extraordinary? Or good marketing that leads to high prices and people who want to collect the work?
I am no expert on who is a prodigy and who is not, but labels are a dicey place to go as proven by Dr. Carol Dweck's research (she's currently a social psychologist at Stanford.)
One aspect of her research focused on how we identify kids -- e.g., for their intelligence ("smart") versus for their effort ("you tried hard.") The research showed that kids who were told they were making a "great effort" achieved more and took on more challenging tasks than the kids who were told "you are so smart." The idea is that when things don't come easily, the "smart" child becomes afraid to try for fear of failing. (more info on the research here)
Alissa Quart's book reiterates this point. She cautions calling a child a prodigy because "the overcultivated can develop self-esteem problems and performance anxiety." (from Time, 9/6/06)
No worries in my house. I'm happy to simply keep praising the "good effort" while I celebrate the fact that my 4 year old can clearly see a Yoda and light saber in the blob of glitter glue he lovingly placed on his paper while grinning from ear to ear. It reminds me of what's truly valuable: a child having Fun creating art...that's priceless.
Here are a few links to child painters who are considered by some to be art prodigies:

Hi Lenore, Thank you for being so welcoming. I am new to this site. Parenting is key but I do feel sorry for children whose parents push them into doing things that are beyond the child's ability. This deprives the child of finding his/her true talent.
My child, a 11 year old girl, is a prodigy. She is a relatively well known UK political blogger. http://libdemchild.blogspot.com and has spoken at 3 national political conferences. However, she does run around and create a mess and does all the other things that children do. I don't think being a 'prodigy' necessarily cancels out the joys of childhood. It does really depend on parenting too.

He won the 10th season of American Idol and released a Platinum-selling debut album, but there's one accomplishment Scotty McCreery has yet to achieve: graduating high school. The country star is walking with his classmates this June, and doesn't expect his education to end there.
"I'll be going to college in the fall," McCreery told PEOPLE this week. "We're gonna work classes around [and] head out on the weekends on the road or something. We're gonna work it out."
The Idol alum has spent his senior year of high school on the road part-time opening for Brad Paisley along with The Band Perry, but he looks forward to this new juggling act: "It's gonna be fun," says the Academy of Country Music nominee for new artist of the year.
According to McCreery, he's already been accepted to four colleges, though he's yet to settle on "the one."
"We're gonna figure it out and decide as a family," he says. "I grew up rooting for NC State, and that's where my dad went. But also, there are schools in Nashville that have been really great – and that's Music City so we'll see."
One thing McCreery knows for sure: music won't be a part of his formal education. "Music I'm learning every day now … from Brad Paisley on the road and different things," he says. "I think marketing would be a cool way of learning how to stay out there and stay current. And study other things!"

The River Dream motif for these mittens was inspired by the intricate geometric patterns from the shamanic textiles of the Indians in the Amazon basin of Peru. I wanted to capture a design that reflected both the river and the dreams and songs that give rise to the textile designs so each mitten mirrors the other. The variegated blue yarn adds depth to the design. Put the two mittens together and see the complete design.
Made with worsted weight or DK yarn, River Dreams mittens are a quick, easy knit. The mittens have stranded cuff with a short ribbed border, while the thumb has a Selbu type gusset. The pattern directions include easy to follow charts, photos, and written instructions.
There is a matching hat pattern. The mitten and hat patterns are available as a set.
6 stitches and 6 rows = 1 inch

A true gamer? You mean the gamer who spends $500 on the graphics card just so he can play a $50 game? Yeah, their opinions are always sound.
5. ardent1 (Posts: 2000; Member since: 16 Apr 2011)
I could spend $249 for the playstation vita or $349 for a refurbished 2,4 iPad 2 with almost 12 hours for gaming. Plus, with the iPad 2, you can write Apps and make $300,000 or more if you gaming app rakes off.
Guys, learn to think outside the box for a change. There's lots of money to be made with the iOS ecosystem.

Dead Ringers: How Outsourcing Is Changing the Way Indians Understand Themselvesby Shehzad Nadeem
In the Indian outsourcing industry, employees are expected to be "dead ringers" for the more expensive American workers they have replaced--complete with Westernized names, accents, habits, and lifestyles that are organized around a foreign culture in a distant time zone. Dead Ringers chronicles the rise of a workforce for whom mimicry is a job requirement and a passion. In the process, the book deftly explores the complications of hybrid lives and presents a vivid portrait of a workplace where globalization carries as many downsides as advantages. Shehzad Nadeem writes that the relatively high wages in the outsourcing sector have empowered a class of cultural emulators. These young Indians indulge in American-style shopping binges at glittering malls, party at upscale nightclubs, and arrange romantic trysts at exurban cafés. But while the high-tech outsourcing industry is a matter of considerable pride for India, global corporations view the industry as a low-cost, often low-skill sector. Workers use the digital tools of the information economy not to complete technologically innovative tasks but to perform grunt work and rote customer service. Long hours and the graveyard shift lead to health problems and social estrangement. Surveillance is tight, management is overweening, and workers are caught in a cycle of hope and disappointment. Through lively ethnographic detail and subtle analysis of interviews with workers, managers, and employers, Nadeem demonstrates the culturally transformative power of globalization and its effects on the lives of the individuals at its edges.

PEOPLE's TV Critic: What the Emmys Got Right and Wrong
Originally posted 09/23/2013 03:00PM
Late into the 65th annual Emmys ceremony Sunday on CBS, host Neil Patrick Harris announced: "No one in America is winning their Emmy office pool."
If you did happen to win, you should consider a career in statistical forecasting. The awards were all over the place.
Of the night's many surprises, the biggest was in the category of best actor. Academy voters for once decided not to give the prize to Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston – but instead of rewarding Mad Men's Jon Hamm, the perennial also-ran, they chose Jeff Daniels of HBO's The Newsroom. Perhaps they concluded that Hamm is already lousy with nominations, and handsome as the devil, and that should hold him. Daniels is a fine actor, as you'll discover if you catch just about any of his many performances of the past three decades, but The Newsroom's first season was a pounding surf of angry, righteous yammering. Oh well.
Here's what else the Emmys got right and wrong:

Merritt Wever barely uttered two sentences as she stepped onstage to collect her Emmy for outstanding supporting actress in a comedy, for her role as Zoey Barkow in Nurse Jackie – but her look of shock said it all.
"Thanks so much. Thank you so much," she said while fumbling with the card presenters Amy Poehler and Tina Fey had just pulled out of an envelope, apparently attempting to confirm her name was indeed there.
For a moment it looked as though Wever, 33, would give a traditional speech, but she apparently decided against it.

"We continue to screen all figures from accepted manuscripts,and we continue to find irregularities." The Journal of Clinical Investigations: Vol 119, Number 3, March 2009.
There is a lot of discussion in the scientific community about the credibility of western blotting data published in journals. It's no secret that questionable western blotting data is the most common reason for rejecting manuscripts. There is a recognized need by editors to improve the quality of western blotting protocols. To meet this challenge, the scientific community is investigating ways to address this.
Bio-Rad, as a member of the scientific community, has developed the V3 Western Workflow™ to increase confidence in western blotting data.
What is the V3 Western Workflow?
The V3 Western Workflow comprises a suite of products and Bio-Rad's stain-free technology - a unique in-gel fluorescent compound that irreversibly binds to tryptophan residues enabling the direct visualization and quantification of proteins in gels and on blots. This novel workflow allows you to:
How does the V3 Western Workflow ensure confidence in Western Blotting data?
Reliable Loading Controls
"There are several problems associated with this procedure [western blotting]: the expression of the control protein might in fact differ between samples, [and] the gel might be overloaded with regard to the control protein…" Journal of Proteome Research: 10, 1416-1419, 2011.
There are pitfalls when using housekeeping proteins (HKPs) as loading controls:
The V3 Western Workflow alleviates these problems by providing a more convenient and reliable total protein loading control using stain-free technology. Total protein loading controls are more reliable because
More Quantitative Data
"For quantitative comparisons, appropriate reagents, controls and imaging methods with linear signal ranges should be used." Nature Guide
When using film as a detection method, the linear dynamic range is narrow. When manipulating the exposure time, the expression level of a protein of interest may appear to vary. Therefore, it is necessary to validate the exposure time for film.
The V3 Western Workflow eliminates this issue by using stain-free technology with CCD imaging. Stain-free total protein loading control yields measurements within a linear dynamic range that housekeeping protein loading controls cannot match. Furthermore, the CCD camera imager has a broader linear dynamic range than film. The V3 Western Workflow combines these two advantages to provide you with more accurate quantitative data.
Raw Data Recorded At Each Step of the Workflow
"This may seem elementary, but keep the raw data. A well-annotated lab notebook can resolve problems very quickly....and further than just saving immunoblots - the same relates to histology and other data - print them out. Make multiple copies. Label the data carefully. Keep clear records." All data are not created equal, Ushma S. Neill, J Clin Invest. 2009; 119(3):424-424
The traditional western blotting workflow generates two pieces of data - the target protein blot and the loading control blot. These data may originate from different gels. With film imaging, the original data may be misplaced or mislabeled.
The V3 Western Workflow gives you at least four pieces of data from one gel. All data are in an electronic file format that is easily recorded and maintained. The four pieces of data are:
Details about the image acquisition are included in image files and can be provided to journal editors upon request. With this transparency, the user achieves better control of the entire process, troubleshooting is simplified, and training new users is easier.

I am a 41 yr old female and I weigh about 285 lbs. My height is 5 ft 9 in. How much weight must I lose to have a Body lift?
How Much Weight to Lose Before Body Lift?
Doctor Answers 25
Weight loss prior to body lift
I usually perform a lower body lift after a patient has lost about 100 pounds or so either through gastric sbypass or diet and exercise. That is not a hard and fast rule, however. What is more important to me is that the weight loss is stable.
I prefer to operate once all the wieght you are going to lose has been lost and you can't lose anymore regardless of your final weight. The more weight you lose the better the result. As long as your expectations are realistic we can then consider a lower body lift.
Good luck!
Things to consider before a body lift.
Being in good physical health overall is an important component of a successful surgery, and this is even more the case when looking at a body lift or other procedures of that type. Although it's hard to give an exact weight goal for you to reach, you should hold a healthy end weight as your target. A nutritionist can help you determine what that number means for you. More important than the exact number of pounds you lose is your ability to maintain a healthy weight for several months before surgery. I like to see my patients holding steady for about six months prior to any type of lift procedure.
There is no magic number...
There is no magic number of pounds you need to lose before a body lift. The most important thing is to have reached a stable weight. I have typically found with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, vertical gastric sleeve and duodenal switch that most patients lose their weight at approximately 10 to 12 months. Lap-band patients tend to maximally lose their weight at approximately 20 to 22 months. This is a gross generalization, but appears to hold true for most of my patients. After you have lost your weight and your weight has been stable within 5 pounds for approximately 3 to 4 months, then I believe you are ready for a body lift.
Based on your individual height and weight, I would estimate with a Roux-en-Y procedure you could lose over 100 pounds. Though as mentioned above, the most important factor is to have a stable weight for approximately 3 to 4 months after your significant weight loss.
Thank You,
Dr. J. Timothy Katzen

Ideal weight loss prior to body contouring surgery.
This also depends on your height. Given an average estimate of 5"4" Your weight should roughly vary from 120-145 lbs. Given this upper limit I am estimating that you are about 140 pounds overweight.
It would be ideal for you to achieve this but perhaps not realistic. You may want to consider nutrtional counseling and supervision and possible contemplate bariatric surgery first.
This is an extremely brief synopsis and many other issues will affect this decision.

How Much Weight to Lose Before Body Lift?
How much to loose before having a Body Lift .
I would personally recommend for you to first go with a bariatric specialist or a nutritionist so they can adequately guide you in the correct and healthy way to loose weight. After the specialist has guided you and you have accomplished what he has recommended you can afterward see a plastic surgeon so he can evaluate you and let you know what would be the best choice in regards to plastic surgery. Hope this helps.
Losing weight prior to body lift
Thank you for your question.
I always recommend to ALL of my patients that they should lose as much weight as possible prior to surgery and to be as close as possible to their long term stable weight to get the best results. This will maximize chances of achieving a long-term stable result without the need for revision surgery (related to weight gain or loss issues).
For example, if you have the procedure and then lose more than 10 pounds, you may need revisionary surgery to take care of excess skin, etc.
I hope this helps.

How Much Weight to Lose Before Body Lift
The simple answer to your question is that there is no specific formula that gives a particular number. Even BMI indexes are only a rough guide as they can be grossly misleading in people who have good muscle mass and athletes. I would tell you that having a stable weight is the most important factor for you to consider after losing your weight. Without a picture it is hard to be really specific for you, but loosing 100lbs would be sufficient for your height. I often see patients who have had barriatric surgery and have lost so much weight that they are literally skin and bones. This is too much weight loss as there is little one can do to give them a nice shape but remove excess skin. A bodylift is an extremely powerful procedure to give you back your natural shape and if there is still some fat you will be very pleasantly surprised by the result.

Oh Boy… Happy Friday to all of you. Season tickets should arrive today, if you didn't get them yesterday (lucky locals!). I hear they come with a really nice, high quality flag of some sorts. Also, Mike Holmgren is scheduled to be on KJR shortly with Mitch Levy. So brew some coffee and turn it on. Oh, and did I mention that many of you will get to lay your eyes on the 2008 Seahawks for the first time tomorrow? While you wait, here are some stories from around the web.
Scott Johnson checks in on Leonard Weaver, the newly proclaimed best blocking running back on the team. The article takes a look at some new workouts that Weaver did over the offseason.
Danny O'Neil takes a look at the return of the screen pass, something Mr. Hasselbeck promised we will see a lot of.
Frank Hughes wrote his story on Warren Moon's apology.
Clare Farnsworth introduces us to the new running backs coach Kasey Dunn.
Here is an article worth reading from Brad Briggs of the Chicago Sun Times. He talked with Ed Hochuli about the Tim Donaghy case and how it relates to NFL officials.

Science Olympiad
Welcome to Science Olympiad at Westminster College!
The 2016 Northern Regional Science Olympiad was held on February 27, 2016. We were so honored to be part of this event again and to be working with such dedicated, creative and intelligent students! Keep up the great work!
Science Olympiad (SO) competitions are like academic track meets, consisting of a series of team events in each division (Division B is middle school; Division C is high school). Competing in the events requires preparation, commitment, coaching and practice throughout the year and is taken very seriously by the students and teachers involved. The regional competitions, such as the one hosted at Westminster, qualify teams for the state competition.

On Friday 1August2014, activists occupied the median strip on Water Street at Pacific Avenue across the street from the war protest sculpture titled "Collateral Damage", talking to the public about their outrage over deaths of women and children in Gaza aided and abetted by US funding. Police arrived to inform them that local ordinances prohibit free speech in medians of Santa Cruz streets. Instead of agreeing to leave or sign promises to appear, these brave protesters decided to risk arrest and jail to get their message out.

Cabinet approval has been given on a proposal by the President to hand over 8 acres from Slave Island to India. This was stated by the Minister of Information and Mass Media Keheliya Rambukwella at a media meeting held today (19th) to inform cabinet decisions.
The Minister has further said the cabinet approved the proposal made by the President as the Minister of Defense and Urban Development.
Cabinet has approved to give on 99 year lease lands at Slave Island that had been reserved for development to India's Tata Housing Development Company Ltd and its partner in Sri Lanka SG 18 Advertisers and Consultant Pvt. Ltd.
The land of eight acres bordering Malay Street, Justice Akbar Street and a railway track will be on a 99 year lease and used for a mixed development consisting of commercial areas and complexes of luxury houses.
Neutral analysts say the government of Sri Lanka has knelt before India and is handing over various institutions, natural resources, nature reserves as well as valuable lands in Colombo and other areas.

PITTSBURGH - Midweek news and commentary:
n The Pittsburgh Steelers hold on to beat the Cincinnati Bengals 27-21.
That's all well and good, but they led the game 27-7 at one point. The Bengals' last offensive play was from the Steelers' 12 in the final minute.
Yes, it was that scary.
Even worse is the injury fallout.
After reading a long injury list at his weekly news conference, coach Mike Tomlin got worse news hours later.
Tackle Max Starks may be done for the season because of a neck injury. After the game, spies report that Starks looked good and was in good spirits, believing he'd dodged a bullet.
The Steelers' offensive line was so decimated that the coaches were preparing tight end Matt Spaeth for emergency duty at tackle.
The offensive line was less than a strength with everyone available and healthy; who knows what it will look like now.
Every team has injuries, making it impossible to find quality reinforcements at mid-season. In the unlikely event the Steelers would be willing to sacrifice a draft pick for a veteran, that's out of the question because the NFL trading deadline has passed.
Teams have two choices for player acquisitions at this point: Their practice squad and the waiver wire.
Beyond Starks' injury, three players sustained concussions at Cincinnati and it remains to be seen who might be available for Sunday night's home game against New England.
The Steelers are 6-2, which is where they were last year when the season fell apart with a five-game losing streak.
It was going to be a tough task no matter what happened; the physical toll from the Cincinnati game made it even more difficult.
n Joe Paterno won his 400th game.
Far be it from me to say anything favorable about Neil Rudel, but the book he and Cory Giger have written, "They Know Joe," is a must-have for any Nittany Lions fan.
Official disclaimer: The book is published by the Mirror, but the management of the paper didn't mandate any mention of it here.
In fact, I can hear teeth clenching as they read this, wondering where it's going.
The book is an entertaining collection of memories from a wide variety of people who have encountered Paterno during his long career.
It's priced right for holiday giving, and it will be well appreciated.
I could do without full-page color photos of Beano Cook and John Clayton, but that's just me.
Mehno can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

DMV examines signature policy after complaint
April 9, 2013
MARTINSBURG — While going to the DMV is typically seen as a hassle, the task was increasingly stressful for one Eastern Panhandle resident....
I don't see how the state can mandate how an individual signs his or her name. Talk about overstepping boundaries....
10 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
The purpose of having a signature on a federally issued ID, as in this case, is so that people can verify that signature when necessary. How ignorant is it to ask someone to sign their ID using a completely different signature than is used normally? I've brainstormed....I can't think of 1 rational reason
11 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I say we sign with an "X"...
The government over-reach into our privacy with these new IDs by collecting and storing all of our personal info, is a pathetically bad idea.
I don't believe the line that we are all "safer" because of it...

On a friend's of mines Birth Certicate, the "e" was left off her first name, many years ago,so she didn't know that, until she went to DMV,and had to take her Birth Certificate, a utility bill with her name on it, etc;, and they compared her name spelling on her old Drivers License, with the name of her Birth Certificate, and refused to give her a new license, until she had her Birth Certificate corrected..This took couple months and money to do..finally she went back to our DMV and was able to get her new License.. This new paperwork requirements came about after the terrible 9-11 tragedy in 2001, and could be because of the Illegal ones in our county too..

Bullhead......do you honestly think the government didn't have access to your personal info before the bill was passed? Not all states are required to use federally issued ID cards....just those that have failed to distribute secured IDs in the past. Maryland residents aren't required to use federally issued IDs because their state IDs are sufficient.
This is done to prevent counterfeiting.....you know, to prevent the "terrorists" and "illegals" from taking over the country as some people lead you to believe is happening.

Looks like I have to make another trip to the DMV. When I renewed my drivers license I was given a temporary one good for 60 day. It is about to expire now and I have not received my new one so I have to pay another $5.00 for a duplicate.

Rev: What's the "H" for? I've always thought of it as being "Hippie"...
Bullhead: You are right. The policeman who stops the guy with the large ticking package on the back seat really doesn't need to know whether this is the David Smith who runs a bank or the one who bombed one a few years back and just got out...
2 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
You state, "Bullhead......do you honestly think the government didn't have access to your personal info before the bill was passed?"
No, I don't believe that they had access to my utility bills without a warrant. And, I believe it was held by the various States previously, not the behemoth federal government.
And, I don't believe that everything was conveniently stored in one location so that it could be hacked by outsiders or abused by a small group of government employees.
And, it is my understanding that ALL states are working to comply with the new federal REAL IDs, it is just that West Virginia is one of the more compliant sheep in the fold.
I know why it is done and I know that it won't be any more successful than all of their other monitoring--although it will cause A LOT more inconvenience and loss of Freedom for the average serf, er, I mean citizen.

Keep coming up with your hypothetical scary scenarios. Do you think a plastic ID is going to keep that bomb from detonating in the back seat?
And, do you realize how many times those government officials already release the wrong person from prison?
So, why don't we just plant tracking-ID chips into each person's forearms to track everyone's whereabouts at all times and/or install cameras in each house to make sure that we catch all of those "bad guys"?
"Safety first", right?
"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Ben Franklin (motto of Historical Review of Pennsylvania)

So, in essence, you're worried about the feds knowing how many KWs you're using per month as opposed to where you live? You're not required to provide any more information now than before. The utility bills are an option because they verify residency for most people. The only loophole being people with a business or rental property where they pay utilities...they could claim residency at one of those locations.
There's so much hatred for the government these days, that people nitpick and complain about the smallest details. People want to thwart terrorism and illegal entry to the US, but complain when the government implements a plan to do so. If you want to stop illegal immigrants and their abuse of federal aid, then don't complain when the feds force you to obtain a federally approved ID. If you want to stop voter fraud and support providing ID at the polls, don't complain about the federal ID requirement. You can't just snap your fingers and dissolve an issue...

You state, "If you want to stop illegal immigrants and their abuse of federal aid, then don't complain when the feds force you to obtain a federally approved ID. If you want to stop voter fraud and support providing ID at the polls, don't complain about the federal ID requirement."
Now we are getting more to the crux of the matter. This is a government "solution" to a government-made problem.
How about we get rid of the the unconstitutional "federal aid" in the first place?
And, I don't want the federal IDs at the poll. I would be content with a state photo ID verification (like we currently have) without so much personal privacy invasion. Essentially, you verify your info and if found that you are lying, then you are prosecuted by the State (no federal government).
The growing trend toward federal (and even greater State) spying is not going to lead anywhere near Freedom.

So, the states have shown incompetency with ID distributioin...whether it be false information at the counter or a completely fake ID...and you want them to continue to distribute them? If you don't want the feds involved at all...does that also mean that the use of SS #s are out of the conversation at well?
Here's a solution: let's let each state handle it individually. That way, there will be 50 different ways of doing things and 50 different ways to err.
Fact is, there is nothing wrong with the way the Feds are distributing the IDs...aside from the signature requirement which may be a DMV issue. Your only problem is with your paranoia of the Feds taking over and invading your private life.

Typical WV DMV, my SS card was laminated several yrs back and they would not accept it. I needed a rental car and my driver's license that day.

It makes my Blood pressure go up just going throught the doors...post 911 makes everything suck..now we have to live in a police state..

I guess we will disagree. You state, "Your only problem is with your paranoia of the Feds taking over and invading your private life."
Yeah, kind of like this nation's founding fathers who had the foresight to enshrine the Bill of Rights even though at the time they believed they weren't necessary because surely a population wouldn't be so naive, imprudent, and short-sighted as to give the federal government THAT much power...
Thanks to all the good, public-school sheep though, today we would never have the ability to realize that a strong, "energetic", centralized government is what they were trying to avoid in the Great Experiment.

I get so tired of the ignorant WV bureaucratic BS...I coudl write a book. How about getting victim notification calls from an automated service in Louisville, KY and it repeats itself until you enter a code. Oh and if the system is down you keep getting them..so Icalled WV Div. of Corrections repeatedly to see how they liked it and they wanted to know why I was so angry?? I finally told them to remove me from the system afterr much emotional upset and guess what..I got 3 more calls. WTF kind of archaic systems are in place here, well obviously alot...I live in FL as much as possible...WV has put me through H-e-l-l and it continues...I can say this born,raised and lived here all my life...

If RN1964's story is true, how does that make you feel about the effectiveness of your "safety badge"?
Do you really believe that the federal government is going to be more accountable and accurate than the States? Postal service, anyone?
And, you do realize that the States are still administering the federal ID, so it will only be as effective as the State's abilities anyway as RN1964 points out.
Sorry, but you (and many others hoping that their big brother will "keep them safe" and "protect them") have deluded the Mind...

Unlike you and other brainwashed americans, I feel safe. I'm not paranoid of communism overriding our country. When you question the legality of a person in our country, you leave yourself open for questioning. You should have to prove your legality just as much as the "illegal" because his/her status is unknown until questioned. You guys are hilarious to me...you want the result without implementing the means.
Whether you trust 1 federal government or 1 state government, you're still putting power with a higher governing body. I'd rather put my trust in a federal government which is a conglomerate of 50 states, than 50 individual state bodies with a higher potential for incompetence and corruption.
The postal service, by the way, is such a cliche copout.

"Feel safe" then. And, I hope that we get better than we deserve. Just don't tell your children or grand-children that you weren't warned or that you tried to secure their Freedom.

So it's legal to transfer real estate worth millions of dollars by placing your "mark" on the deed (which, by law, an "x" is sufficient), but ineffective to obtain a drivers license? Stupid bureaucrats. Do they really need someone to file a complaint to realize what dumb***es they are? I guess so.

The four-seat Bentley Continental GTC saw a number of subtle updates in 2012 that refined the ultraluxury soft-top convertible. Power comes from a new-for-2013 500-horsepower V-8 engine or a 567-hp 12-cylinder. The Continental GTC's formidable power is part of its appeal but so is the range of interior choices that give owners the ability to customize their car. Competitors include the Aston Martin DB9 Volante convertible and Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG roadster.
The Continental GTC's exterior styling features a distinctive front-end with four circular lights, a mesh-style grille that drops over the front bumper, prominent flared rear fenders as well as twin exhaust tips that peek out from below the rear bumper.
The power-operated three-layer soft-top is available in eight colors. Lowering or raising the top takes 25 seconds, according to Bentley, and it works at speeds up to 20 mph. The climate-control system automatically adjusts airflow when the roof is down. Automatically deployable roll bars pop up to protect occupants in the event of a roll-over accident. Interior features include a leather-trimmed dashboard, an 8-inch touch-screen navigation system, and optional massaging and ventilated front seats.
The new twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 is nearly as powerful as the 12-cylinder engine. It's rated at 500 hp and makes 487 pounds-feet of torque. Instead of a six-speed transmission, the V-8 works with an eight-speed automatic. The car's zero-to-60-mph time is 4.7 seconds, according to Bentley, and its top speed is 187 mph. Under light loads, half of the V-8's cylinders are deactivated to reduce fuel consumption.
The GTC's optional twin-turbo 6.0-liter 12-cylinder engine is rated at 567 hp and 516 pounds-feet of torque. Bentley claims the engine can accelerate the car to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds on its way to a top speed of 195 mph. The engine works with a six-speed automatic transmission and an all-wheel-drive system that has a rear-biased torque split of 40/60, front to rear, to reduce understeer.
In January 2013, Bentley announced details on an even faster version of the convertible. The Continental GT Speed convertible features a 616-hp 12-cylinder engine, an eight-speed automatic transmission and a 202-mph top speed.

For Christmas I had asked my brother to get me Molecule 01 by Escentric Molecules. I had hear so many beauty bloggers talk about this and was so intrigued by the whole concept of it. With it being so expensive I asked my brother to get me the smaller 30 ml bottle.
Molecule 01 only contains surprise, surprise one fragrance molecule and is supposed to smell different on everyone who wears it. The main attraction is that although the wearer can't really smell the scent (the scent is supposed to come and go for the wearer) other people can really notice it and to them it smells amazing. Having heard stories of people being stopped to be lots of people to ask what perfume they were wearing, I had high hopes.
When it arrives I was excited to try and and I completely agree that when you first spray it, it has a slightly woody spicy smell however this soon disappears and you can't smell anything apart from every now and again throughout the day.
Now here comes the best part.....it really does have an effect on other people. Whenever I wear this someone always asks what perfume I'm wearing or tells me I smell amazing! So I definitely agree that there is something about this scent that attracts other people.
I have asked my mum several times what it smells like to her but she can never put her finger on it. She simply says it smells nice.
This is really hard to get hold off and I had to get mine from the Liberty website. Yes it is very expensive compared to some other fragrances but I think it is worth it to have a unique scent which everyone seems to love.
Molecule 01 gets a huge thumbs up from me :)

Rex Ryan Grades Jets Draft
Opening Statement?
JOHN IDZIK: "Thanks for hanging in there with us today. A long, but very productive and great day for the Jets. (We?re) very excited to add two players in Jace Amaro and Dexter McDougle. Jace, we feel like is a size tight end that was flanked out, used down the field running all kinds of routes, (has) good hands, (was a) very productive player. Dexter, (we) felt like he flew under the radar to a certain extent. (He) was injured after three games. But we saw plenty of his play and certainly the three games leading into this season didn?t dissuade us at all, (it) really encouraged us in fact. (We?re) very excited to add those two players to our team."
On if McDougle was on the team?s radar after the 2012 season?
IDZIK: "Well yeah, he?s the type of player you had your eyes on him early on. You?d like to see the entire season, but when he did start he had three picks in three games, (was) very productive in his short time. So it didn?t do anything to tell you that he was anything different than you had seen before."
On if they made calls to trade up?
IDZIK: "Yes, we did."
On if they wanted to trade up to take USC WR Marqise Lee?
IDZIK: "We won?t get into targets. But we just wanted to put ourselves into a good position to have alternatives."
On McDougle?
REX RYAN: "I think Dex is a guy we feel really good about. In fact, it?s funny, the scouts do an unbelievable job with the preparation. Certainly we knew about Dex. I know (Senior Director of College Scouting) Terry (Bradway) had talked about him, (and then the) coaches follow up as well. When we watched him, we saw a guy that we think has versatility, can play outside, can play inside as a nickel possibly. Obviously, we like his cover skills. But we think he?s a complete corner. We think he can tackle. We know he can tackle. He?s aggressive. He?ll challenge you at the line of scrimmage. He?s got good ball skills. And obviously, we feel good (that) he can run. But (he?s) a very aggressive player as well. And the thing that I thought was impressive, Terry brought this to our attention, the coach there named an award after this young man. Dex is a tremendous person. He loved his team. He wanted to support them in every way he possibly could. But we think he fits that Jet profile. I think he?s a great teammate and (we) look forward to seeing what he can do here."
On if the team envisions using Amaro in-line or flanked out wide?
IDZIK: "I think we can do both, really. He hadn?t been in-line as much. He did do a little bit of that at (Texas) Tech. He certainly has the size and he has the will, too. You see him get after it as a blocker. I think he has the size and now it?s just a matter of getting a (few) more reps at doing it. We?re not concerned that way."
On whether the passing game has been addressed to some degree with drafting Amaro?
IDZIK: "Most certainly, he should have an impact on our passing game. No doubt."
On how they evaluated Amaro?s skills compared with his production in the system?
TERRY BRADWAY: "Obviously in college football with the spread offenses there?s a lot of numbers put up, but I think when you look at him, the routes that he runs, he catches the ball very well. And the thing, like John said, you watch the Oklahoma game and there?s 11 snaps of him playing as a Y-tight end on the line of scrimmage and doing a good job. And if you watch him on the perimeter block, he?s really a good blocker. He knocks guys on their butt and off the field too as a blocker on the perimeter. It?s a little different than in line, I know that, but he?s got the want-to, to do it and the size. Anytime you?re evaluating a college player it?s not necessarily apples to apples, but you get a good feel for this player watching him on tape."
On Amaro?s strength?
JEFF BAUER:" Like Terry said, he is (strong). If you watch him block, he?ll move people and he puts people on their backs, especially in the secondary. But those plays when he is inside, he gets movement and he competes. As a pass receiver, he took a lot of hits. He caught the ball a lot and he?s hit a lot on a lot of crossing routes and he held up well. As far as tight ends go, he?s a big guy that?s strong."
RYAN: "I think he did like 26 reps at the combine as well in the bench press. Whatever that?s worth (joking)."
IDZIK: (Laughter) "That?s strong."
RYAN: (Laughter) "Stronger than us combined (joking)."
On the assessment of the first three selections?
IDZIK: "We?re very happy with the three players that we?ve selected so far. Again, we?ve stuck true to form. We stuck to our board and we went into this draft feeling as though it meshed up well with us. By that I mean, some of the areas that were deeper throughout the draft, we felt could really help us as a team. I think that?s reflected in our first three picks."
On whether there was serious consideration to draft a quarterback in the first three rounds?
IDZIK: "Yes, we we?re serious about all positions. We were looking at all positions."
On whether he feels the pass defense can improve with the group of cornerbacks on the roster?
RYAN: "You?ve also got Kyle (Wilson), you?ve got Darrin (Walls), you?ve got a lot of guys that have played. We picked up Johnny Patrick and things, so there?s some guys that we feel really good about. But, I think we have to get better in our pass defense. I don?t think there?s any question about that and I think we will."
On whether they took Amaro?s background into consideration?
IDZIK: "We don?t wipe anything away. We not only talk about it, but we drill down on those things. Again, it?s very important to learn the type of person that you?re bringing into the organization. We take that background research very seriously."
On if McDougle is healed from surgery?
IDZIK: "He?s healed. Of course we won?t know specifically what he can do until he?s here, but he has been cleared by his doctors. He started out doing more football-type activities in preparation for his pro day, so all things are positive, but we?re going to be smart about it. We won?t know exactly how we?ll handle it until he gets here."
On any questions about his durability because of his injury?
IDZIK: "No, not really. He?s an aggressive player. He supports the run with vigor. That?s the type of player we like. I think in our game you don?t want to shy away from anything, if you?re the aggressor you tend to be alright."
On if Amaro can be like some of the big tight ends he has dealt with in the past few years?
RYAN: "Well I do. I think the combination of him and (Jeff) Cumberland, I think gives you two big targets. Believe me, those guys are hard to defend. I mean there is no doubt about it. I like both of those tight ends. And then we have sasquatch (Zach Sudfeld), too. We have some match up issues for some people. We?re really excited about it."
On Amaro?s speed being in the mid 4.7?s at 4.74 and what they had/thought about it?
BAUER: "That was basically what we had too, but for a big guy that?s moving very well, I mean 4.7?s, mid 4.7?s, low 4.7?s for a 6?5? guy. You can tell in the tape he separates. He can get down the seam. He runs away from safeties. It?s a number to us. We look at it, but it?s what we see on the tape. His play speed is good."
On the chances of drafting nine players tomorrow?
IDZIK: "Well, we?ll see what happens. Again, it?s nice going in with some ammunition. We can maneuver. When you have three and you select three it looks like you?re just waiting for your pick, but there are so many things happening behind the scenes. (It?s) tough to predict, but it?s nice going in with nine."
On if the defense can be executed with the cornerbacks they have right now?
RYAN: "Yeah, I felt good before we even went into the draft. I thought we would have an outstanding defense. When you look at it with the two young men that we added, I think our chances are even better. We?re going to play great defense here, that?s what we do. I?m absolutely confident that we?ll do it."

Termanology ft. Sean Price & Lil Fame - I Rock Mics
Termanology's latest feature is entitled "I Rock Mics." Also, the sky is blue and grass is green; tell us something we don't already know, Term! While the Beantown native doesn't need to say so, it's important that he continues to do it and on his latest record he does indeed. Termanology rips producer Michael Crane's snaring beat, dropping some assertive, brash bars in his always-snarling, unrelenting flow. Although the track's intensity is at a fever pitch by the end of the first verse, Term is followed by two more veteran emcees; Lil Fame and Sean Price devour what's left of the beat with no mercy. I Rock Mics will appear on Termanology's next mixtape, which is currently untitled.

ALTHOUGH it has been stated that dilatation of the common bile duct occurs as a compensatory phenomenon after cholecystectomy,1-6 our autopsy findings7 and cholangiographic studies by others8-12 do not substantiate this in man. We therefore investigated experimentally in the dog the effect of cholecystectomy on the biliary ducts.
Materials and Methods
The gallbladders were removed aseptically (with general anesthesia) from 48 normal mongrel dogs which weighed 11 to 16 kg (24.2 to 35.3 lb). At operation, the condition of the liver and extrahepatic bile ducts was studied carefully. The dogs were divided into four groups, according to which one of the following additional procedures was used:Group 1 (14 dogs).—The whole cystic duct was removed by ligating it flush with the common bile duct.Group 2 (13 dogs).—The whole cystic duct was retained.Group 3 (10 dogs).—The whole cystic duct was removed by ligating

Raising Christian Kids in a Sex-Filled Culture
He goes on:
When questioned, they had all - every child in a class of 20 - seen sodomy acted out in porn videos. I was stunned they even knew about it - I certainly hadn't heard of it at that age - let alone had watched it and as a result may even have wanted to try it…. Some of the girls were angry that the boys' template of what to expect from real girls had clearly already been set by porn.
I hate to think about others looking at my little girls in the wrong way—let alone luring, propositioning, or assaulting them. So what am I to do? Take an extreme isolationist position like Alleman and others—batten down the hatches and severely limit their interactions to protect them from the perversions of the porn pandemic?
But I know that isolating and overprotecting them won't work. Why? I've noticed that many who step out of overprotective environments lack the interpersonal skills necessary to live well once they leave the nest, at least initially. I imagine it's because they've seldom had their characters tested. When it comes to sin, there is a difference between one's exercising virtue in the midst of tempting circumstances, and simply never finding oneself in tempting circumstances at all. How we fare when we are tempted is a truer test of our character than never having been tempted at all. We are to be in the world, not of it.
Note that a strict isolationist policy wouldn't just apply to school and college either. It'd apply to interactions at church, too. After all, as Her.meneutics contributor Sharon Hodde Miller notes, some Christian "parents in our communities will not take the necessary steps to protect their children from Internet pornography because they want to have access to it themselves."
I believe the porn pandemic and other forms of illicit sex are really a result of our failure to love God and our neighbors. Consequently, we cannot merely fixate on "Don't do this, don't do that" instruction or on isolating our children. They need to know deep down why we do what we do or don't do.
Instead, our teachings about porn and sex must be set in the broader context of love and justice—of shalom. In his book, Justice in Love, philosopher Nicholas Wolterstorff writes, "to seek to promote the good in someone's life as an end in itself is to love that person…. Love for another seeks to secure that she be treated justly by oneself and others—that her rights be honored, that she be treated in a way that befits her worth."
