Why I Hate Modern Art

A very short history of art - the first 16,500 years.

The history of art can be traced back to paintings from about 15,000 BC cave.

The manner of painting changed little until about 1450 AD, when the Renaissance brought about-naturalistic style and formal rules of composition, such as perspective and proportion.

Emerged after the Renaissance, new styles every 50 to 100 years, but nothing much has changed.

Art in the late 18th and early 19 Century --when everything changed

Abandoned in 1874, Impressionism, traditional formal compositions for a looser and less contrived arrangement of objects in an image. To was the turn of the century Impressionist movement, but all stopped, but his influence was and lasting importance.

Post-Impressionism Impressionism produced. Post-Impressionism was both an extension and the rejection of Impressionism. While Impressionism remained true to nature, postImpressionism favored bright and unnatural colors and an elimination of concern for the naturalistic depiction of light and color for an emphasis on abstract qualities or symbolic content. The Post-Impressionist movement took a similar bit about the turn of the century, but had a far-reaching impact on the arts.

In the first half of the 19th Century spawned various forms of abstract art. Abstract artist went from realistic representations ofTechniques such as shift of perspective, exaggeration, simplification, etc. The Dada movement was a form of abstract art.

The Dada movement

In 1916, the Dada movement formed under despair and disgust, from the horrors of World War I. Dada art was consciously anti-aesthetic, and tries to reject all the rules and conventions. Many Dada artists as their work as anti-art and purpose of anger have their audience. The single most influentialDada artist Marcel Duchamp was well.

Conceptual Art springs "Duchamp's" Fountain "

As a young boy who sought Duchamp to a conventional artist and took classes in academic drawing. He worked in the style of the time (post-impressionism, cubism, etc) to achieve, but not the recognition, until 1917, when the notorious 'Fountain changed' the face of art.

"Fountain" was a signed urinal. Duchamp claimed that it is a work of art that had created it because he wanted to,He gave her a name, he placed it in a different context, and created a new thought for that object.

At first "Fountain" has been abused: in the time it was glorified

Duchamp was an art, anarchist, and his aim was to damage the art establishment. I believe his "Fountain" was clear where the "p". Unfortunately, the perception of art is transformed to embrace Duchamp hoax, and allowed him to achieve his goal: anti-art.

We now have reason that everything can be art, which otherwise isto say that everything is everything. 90 years later, our art galleries, art awards and coverage in the media are full of "Fountain" and the goal of our today's most notorious "artist" still seems to be indignation of its audience. Modern art has become a very tired joke.

In December 2004, Duchamp's Fountain was voted the most influential artwork of the 20th Century by 500 selected British art world professionals. The Independent noted in a February 2008 article, with thissingle work, Duchamp invented conceptual art and "forever separated, the traditional link between art and merit."

Therein lies the problem, conceptual art is not just invalidate all other considerations, but it seems to be the standard by which all art is now measured. We are asked to think of art as the fantasy that an expression of our inner self, and a eulogy of the primacy of man. We are from the thought of art as just pretty discouraged oneCelebration of nature, and a product of physical abilities.

As a professional portrait artist, I aspire to be alive the traditional standards of natural colors, perspective, proportion, etc., to keep the act of creation is subordinate to the output. My goal is to copy from life, paint something pretty (delight), rather than shock, and make no political statement.

On the scale Duchamp, my work has no merit, yes, it's probably not even qualify as "art."

Sewing Pattern Symbols - What On Earth Do They Mean?

Let me explain in simple terms, means that the most common symbols on the paper pattern.


Cutting Line. This is on the edge of each pattern piece, and has often found a symbol for a pair of scissors. Cut each sheet of paper pattern for your clothing from the large sheets of paper. Use paper, scissors, not your goodMaterial scissors. Paper can blunt scissors quickly.

Stitching Line. This is to insert the line along the accession of fabric together


Seam allowance. This is the width of the fabric between the stitching line and the edge of the fabric or cover the cut line. The normal is 1.5 cm or 5/8in seam allowance, but check your pattern seam before stitching.


Directional Sewing. The seams line with small arrows with a clearyou what way to stitch, eg. always stitch the skirt side seams from waist to hemline, the fabric will sit better and have a more professional look.

Grain line. This is a straight line with an arrow at one or each end.

The strong or warp threads run parrallel to the selvage. The selvage is the woven edge of the fabric.

The weaker or weft threads run from selvage to selvage.

The arrows at each end of the grain line must be the same distance from the fold or Selvage.

Many a garment has been sewn and "not sit straight, because the seeds are lines of" Off Center ".
There are also grain lines on the flap on the bias (45o) and the weft threads.


Darts and Dart Sewing Line Fold Line. Darts are a professional fabric sewn tapered and are used to form the garment to fit the curves of the body. Fold the arrow on the fold line and sew along the Dart Dart sewing and pressing. Press-skirt and shoulderdarts towards the centre and bust and elbow darts downwards.


Notches. Notches are diamond shapes situated along a seam line and are used to match seams together, eg. joining the centre back seam together. The notches are cut out in a diamond shape from the seam line.


Pattern Piece Name. Indicates the name of each pattern piece. Please get in the habit of having the pattern piece name facing upwards as you pin the pattern onto the fabric.


The Number. This points out how many pieces cut out, for example. 2nd Cut Sleeve


Trim and lines. These lines show the position and cut the pattern pieces.


Gathering Lines. These are usually broken lines begin and end with a notch. Gather between the notches.


Buttonhole positions. These are the markings on the buttonholes sew. Always try to first garment to the checkButtonholes are heading in the right place for you. Some of us like it a little lower or higher.

If you have cut the pattern and removed from the fabric, always fold it back to the point and place in the envelope. Bring a piece of fabric of the garment on the envelope so in the coming months you will always know what pattern you used for what guise. Marks Place neatly in a box, they are expensive to buy and we can be used over and over again.

Reasons For Divorce; What Constitutes Viable Reasons For Thinking About Or Wanting A Divorce?

According to the National Center for Disease Control's Vital Statistics Report 2002, 50% of first marriages ended in divorce and 60% of remarriages end in divorce. But the Centers for Disease Control also found that 96% of Americans believe to express a personal desire for marriage and nearly three quarters of Americans, marriage is a lifelong commitment. I can imagine that there is something similar statistics worldwide.

With this kind of statistics, easy to recognize how difficult itcan be when people think they want a divorce, but have difficulty identifying how a truly viable divorce reason might be defined. Want happiness through marriage and wrestling with what may be an inevitable outcome (divorce), can seem emotionally and mentally demanding. Finally, it is human nature to want to feel cared for and safe, no matter where you live!

So if you are thinking about divorce, what's really valid reasons for actually getting a divorce?

EachGovernment has different laws defining the difference between "guilt" and "no fault" divorce for reasons that will earn enough to provide grants for the divorce. While it makes sense for you to keep this in mind when deciding whether or not to divorce, because there may be financial considerations should think, first focus on defining your own emotional or "personal" reasons for divorce regardless of what it says, the local governing body.

If you ask 100 people, asThey define viable reasons for a divorce want, you will probably get 100 different answers because they do not answer from their perspective, to sell. Sure, it may have similarities with the way you feel in some of the answers about 'real' divorce reasons, it may even agree with some. But can the real answers to this question can only come from you. You have to find out would be for any reason or reasons in your mind viable to actually make your decision about getting a goDivorce or staying married there.

Give some reasons why people want a divorce or a divorce, are purely selfish and have no substance. An example of a reason for wanting a divorce that has no substance, is not like the fact that your spouse has constant unfounded jealousy. There is a deeper problem that there are, and in the case of this example, it could be that the spouse who constantly feels jealousy has a confidence problem or some kind of "fear of loss. Regardless of theCase, the divorce reason in this example is clearly not viable and should relatively easy to fix.

Often give when people 'surface' or flimsy reasons for wanting a divorce, they really have much deeper feelings about something, and they are only with the flat ground of divorce as an avoidance of a kind, or they give these 'foundation fewer "reasons for wanting a divorce because they are not really aware that there are other deeper rooted reasons that the reason for the way they arenow feel.

Common reasons why people think or want to get a divorce:

* Couple has conflicting personal beliefs

* Couple's marital satisfaction decreases

* Desertion

* Adultery

* Cruel treatment

* Bigamy

* Sticky

* Husband humiliation

Institutionalization *

* Incurable disorder of some kind

Of course, you should have your own reasons for wanting to see the list of a divorce, make it even better add yoursCreate your own list of what a "valid" reasons. Solid reasons for the divorce, or want to get in a divorce is usually a kind of events, behavior and / or changes in the view of marriage.

To really a smart divorce decision, you should start a list of reasons why you want to have for a divorce, then examine the real reasons for the divorce viability. Then come back to it that list in a day or so. The chances you are in a position a few scratchesFor these reasons for wanting a divorce off the list because it is purely from an emotional perspective rather than the logic identified.

If you are thinking about a divorce, and no clear reasons why you feel the way you do, you will be doing itself a "dis-service 'if you without a careful examination of the profitability of each designated Divorce act reason. Everyone has his own reasons for a divorce want to make sure that you are sure that your reasons aretruthfully viable to you before you act upon them.

Some Girls Bite by Chloe Neill

Publisher: Penguin
4 stars

There is a fresh new voice in paranormal and that voice belongs to author Chloe Neill. She's the first of its spring Chicagoland Vampires Novel entitled Some Girls Bite.

I would be in one reading "have been break-in", so I was very happy to get a book that did make me curious about the pages. The author has an interesting vampire mythology and a heroine who has the courage and daring created, it is kick ass without the hard edges.

Set in contemporary Chicago,Vampires who have for a very long time in order to finally "come out" to make a face of wealth, elegance, power and politeness, a very loud statement that they are here and plan to live side by side with men. Most human population is also fascinated and attracted to them. All except Merit, a student who has no time for anything, but always her degree until she is brutally attacked one night by a "rogue states" vampire. On the outskirts of the meeting with theirMaker will of ethane, a master vampire, the only way to save her store is one of them to make them. Merit awakens to discover from her attack, she is now an immortal being night and she's angry. She has not asked any of them, and she is not sure how she feels about it. Drink to deal with the obvious changes in the blood, sleep during the day and catches it must also, as it is a part of their world. Merit must mean to the vampires, the possibilities of filing,the masters of their house, ethane, or live the life of a rouge and an outcast, both the vampires and humans. I really thought the author would have to submit Merit, in which case I would have thrown the book on the area. It would have really ticked me off. However, the author masterfully creates a plot point that I can not see it coming, each of the main characters to protect their integrity and their individual needs evolve, as well as hisPart of the group.

This book is much more than a paranormal tale of good versus evil. It deals with issues such as defining power of choice, filing and prejudices and issues, what really family. In addition, there is also a mystery, and the land is beautiful, all signs point and progress of the mythology.

The author writes wonderful dialogue with much wit and a reality that every character is defined. The story moves at a lively pace and they createdMinor characters you want to know more about. I'll warn you, this book does not have your traditional HEA, and I'm not sure that the author intends for the next in the series have HEA. HOWEVER, it is worthwhile to read, I recommend it.

Choosing The Fabric

Do you sometimes buy a length of beautiful fabrics and finds himself disappointed with the home and have a good look at it?

Do not worry, we've done everything to one time or another.

How do you decide whether the length of the beautiful fabric you have in the love that you like to accommodate?

Well, it's easy.



Questions to unroll a few feet from the roll


Drape it around her shoulders and hold it against her face


Take a good look full trackMirror


Assess the color, pattern, texture and weight of the fabric.


Is the color drain your complexion to its natural color


Is it to improve your natural beauty and give your face a "lift".


Imagine restricted - does the fabric folded under slightly and sit up straight.


Check the label. Is it dry cleaned? This can be expensive over time. Did you know that many of the cotton-polyester blends require very little or no ironing.


Check weave. Much Weave ifthe weft, or horizontal threads, meet at right angles to the bar, and the closer the tissue is the stronger the fabric


Be careful, a loose weave, it may require a lining to stop or place to stretch, when we sit and it may be difficult to sew and hem.


Prints. The design is printed on the fabric to meet the bar at right angles? If it does not sit then the seams are not aligned and can go wrong when wearing the garment. If the substance is your favorite color and design patterns, step awayand select another one.


A day in the selvage hereto, is a flaw in the fabric. I do not accept the mistake, you can not avoid the situation or trim around it. Ask for a new cut length.


Check the wrinkles. Crumple some of the stuff in your hand. If it is slowly recovering, it is wrinkled or remain? If it is wrinkled, it will also do if you are wearing it. Do not look a "great", as there will always fold in the places we do not want to stress. Avoid buying pieces at the end of the increased rolelike the folds can be permanent.



Check the Remnant Bin. You can buy some great end of the roll pieces. Develop and check it for cracks, nicks, and that the color suits you. Is there enough material for your design? Just because it "cheap" is not necessarily a good buy. We found, however, some really good bargains in the rest of container, so that by all means, check it out.

Copy and print this short list, and take it with you when shopping for fabric, so youcan verify that you get the best value for your money.

Your Man - How to Make Him Crazy in Love With You

If there is a special person in your life and you want him to be crazy in love with you, how exactly does one do that? The answer is not to hang on his every word and change your life its place. The truth is that the old standard advice to play, is hard to have merit, but it needs a new twist to it is really efficient.

If you want him crazy in love with you, you must first love yourself. The men are most to be self-confident women who are drawn intoControl over their emotions. The biggest mistake that women, if they try, her husband, is getting love them more, they make themselves fully available both physically and emotionally to him. They let him know very clearly that they love him and would do anything for him. As much as we love the women hear those words from a man Men are not as enchanted by them. Men are actually less attracted to you, if you right there in his grasp.

Spend more time with friends whenYou want him to be crazy in love with you. Make him feel as if you do not steal your life. They want him as the hunter, that he felt. Make it a little difficult given to him, and he will be in. If you are not always accessible and available, he crave you more and more.

Let him talk about himself, if you do want to love you more. Even if you are self-centered and hold to bring the conversation back to himself, he will be disabled. Men want to feelappreciated and recognized, if you want to make him mad in love with you, ask him about his life. Direct questions and keep his eyes when he speaks. This will help him see that you completely in what is important to have interested him. If you do this, he will find you irresistible.

Orchid Judging

If you are new orchids, or are not familiar with the process of receiving an award for your investment, a good place to start is your local orchid society. At most meetings, members will judge the display flowering plants for show table, which are granted points or ribbons. One group, usually accompanied by an AOS judge, decides the best orchid in each category. Later in the meeting, each facility will be individually criticized for their prosperity and cultural achievements. Another advantage of theSociety's membership is that you show your orchid exhibition in your local orchid society, may show if it is eligible for AOS assessment into account. If you are considering giving to a facility for the American Orchid Society Flower, who are looking for the main features of size, shape and color. The number of flowers per stem, and the substance and structure of the flower are also important aspects.

Sometimes an orchid judge for an award will be nominated (JC / AOS), which recognizesdistinctive characteristics of either the plant or flower, that the judges will not be judged according to the parameters of a flower quality award. Should be examined for cultural, orchids are considerable, in excellent condition, including roses and flowers have good distribution and presentation. There are also awards as a Certificate of Botanical Recognition (CBR / AOS) that a thriving species, rare or unusual, and a Certificate of Horticultural Merit (CHM / AOS) recognizes thatis granted, to a well built and good species or natural hybrids. An award (AD / AOS) detects new trends and directions in the discipline. An Award of Quality (AQ / AOS) is given if at least 12 different varieties are displayed in the same cross. At least one in the group must also be given a flower, or received in the past has been. This award is for both the producers have given up by the plants, and the breeder, if they are not the same person.

Databases are availablethat list prices and descriptions so you can have your copy in comparison with previous awards. Most databases have the ability to pedigrees go back to the original way to create and other useful tools. We recommend that the system Eaos the American Orchid Society. This program lists information about the awards from the AOS in 1932, even the pictures of the award-winning facility and its description given.

For a great learning experience for visitors consider one of the 31 AOS AssessmentCenters in the United States and Canada, where they observed the decision-making process firsthand. If you orchids when assessing AOS Center exhibit, they should be cleaned, set and maintained as much as possible. On the registration form you will be prompted to enter information such as that the plant's name, whether the variety has received, and the parent plant if it is not a single species, the orchid will then be evaluated by the judges. If it is named, the judges will then scoreAsset. Your plant will be 75 points or more need to get a flower award. Flower Awards are on 100 points. All flower scoring 75 to 79 points a very commendable certificate (HCC / AOS). When reached 80 to 89 points, they receive an Award of Merit (AM / AOS). The most beautiful flowers, scored 90 points or above, a first-class certificate (FCC / AOS).

Cultural Awards are granted to producers for a flowering plant that is grown to a to recognizelarge specimen size. Once the plant is named, will, must forgive score 80 points or more. A Certificate of Cultural Merit (CCM / AOS) is given for the ratings from 80 to 89 points, and the much coveted Certificate of Cultural Excellence (CCE / AOS) is responsible for scores of 90 points or higher.A knowledgeable growers can be given to quality Recommend plants and will be able to tell you if a plant is a seedling or a Mericlone. Mericlone be produced by adding the laboratory. fabricsthe mother plant is excited in a special solution and multiply to create exact copies of the original plant. Seedlings are produced by cross-species from two plants. The offspring are characteristics of the mother plants, and each exhibition will be different. If you are considering buying a seedling, make sure that the flowers are an improvement over the two parents. While there are many clones of orders and high quality orchids, the advantage of buying a seedling that youis a one-of-a-kind plant, the one-in-a-million instead of one-of-a-million.

If you judge for the orchid to program, we recommend that you are interested to become involved. The process of recording awarded AOS can daunting, but the faster you the sooner you will recognize the characteristics of a quality orchid placed in service. This knowledge will help you to the plants, which acquire the value of their collection will improve after year to.

The reward in this case is a task that the child is more than others. The TEACCH system is a merit of the Lovaas technique makes it preferred by parents: the lack of electric shock.

Autism treatment by the Floortime system often used to build play sessions with the parents of the patient to a relationship with the child while also teaching other important things. This course combines management of the autistic disorderTreatment goals with activities which the patient is very exciting or funny, so that they can gain important skills while developing a deeper relationship with her parents.

Of course, there are various methods in the education of children with autism and various mental challenges become accustomed, but it is not clear whether one approach is better than another. You have the choice ... the orientation of the psychiatrist of the child.

I'm here to review a book written by Frazer Wheaton called better bass fishing. I have improved the book about 6 months searching for just my humble fishing and I was so impressed that I thought it warranted a brief overview to the public a look at the acquisitionBook.

I was pleasantly surprised by the content of surprises in the book that covered everything, from those types of devices should, spoon, spinner bait, etc., that you use when fishing to learn in different types of waters, all the way up to how to catch bass in many different situations whether it morning, night, winter or windy, it's all covered in the book.

A chapter that I found especially useful was the most frequently made to a "correction error by anglers. After reading this I realizedthat even the little things that we really do take for granted when fishing for bass is a big difference. It was like learning how to catch bass again, but this time my game has improved dramatically.

Another unusual part of this book is the chapter on the agitation. When I started I thought that was bait bait. How wrong I could have opened my eyes to a huge variety of different baits that are "must" used in different situations.

Vices and Virtues in Marriage - Jealousy vs Trust

Have you ever had to deal with a jealous husband or wife? Most marriages at a certain time or another go through a period of suspicion and jealousy when their spouse does something to deserve suspicion. Maybe they have flirted or maybe they had an affair or it could be that they do not do nothing to justify suspicion.

More often than not, when one spouse to the other without merit, it means that they lack confidence in herself jealous. If they do not trust themselves, they are usuallyjealous, suspicious, controlling, and insecure. This can be a nightmare for the spouse who has to take this kind of abuse. But it must not be so.

Ask your self. Why am I jealous? Why do I not trust my spouse? What have they done to deserve my suspicions about them? Maybe you have good reason to how you feel. But to have more than likely get your concerns about your spouse out of hand. We have with ourselves about the actions we take in life to be honest.The heart of the matter is that we either trust our spouse or we do not do it, there is no between here.

Where does confidence come from? Once the trust for your spouse is not just a feeling but an action is as good. We have to show by our actions that we show our spouse that we trust in them. It means that we are confident and secure enough to consider them with confidence. Trust is indeed a great virtue of character that holds a person.

Every day and everywhere the question of trust comes not only inMarriage. Sometimes we just need the people confidence otherwise we can not achieve our goals in life, or believe, with the belief that we should move. It can be times when we again have to regain confidence for someone who has hurt us, and this means that we are to keep the power of trust in our character.

In marriage, unless otherwise earned, should the trust already a proven commitment by both spouses. Without trust and faith in marriage, there would be so much more uncertainBehavior in circulation, such as distrust, doubt, suspicion, lies, jealousy, possessiveness and control issues that the divorce would even begin to sound good. Divorce in the matter of jealousy and mistrust?

It is important that couples get to the bottom of why one spouse feels suspicious of others. I can tell you what I think and you'll probably shrug it off. But I have to say anyway. If we do not know who we are, we have no purpose or connection to the source, who we are, wetend to live on our own feelings, ideas, beliefs, and those things that our purpose is to satisfy himself. We have yet to feel any real wisdom and understanding why we feel bad, or do we make ourselves why we do what we do.

In a Peapod we are connected to self-determination and what our feelings tell us, and separated from our source tells us and what our source. But come to give our source, where our spiritual life, food and water. Our source is where we learn to grow fromthe selfish person who we are and in the loving person that we were becoming.

The inability to trust our spouse arises from the lack of Christ in our lives. It really is that simple. We have not yet come to religious fanatics as the loving people God meant for us to be. What we do not have to, but to accept, and so Jesus Christ into our lives by any means is easiest for us. What is so difficult about it?

Here's how it works. Enter your vices Jesus and he will then enter theVirtues of his nature. We bear the fruits of the living Christ in our spiritual life. In other words, a person's moral fiber is from what he believes and what he does, with those convictions.

There are many great virtues a man can live, and there are many bad vices a person can live. What I'm saying is if your spouse and mistrust often feel possessive and jealous of them, it is your opinion based on your own insecurities takeover. This does not needhappened.

Where can come insecurities? They are not coming from God, that's for sure, and they are not a fruit of the spiritual self, either. They come from the self. If we even doubt that we will eventually secure other. If I feel bad about who I am, I will often be of crucial importance, jealous, judgmental and jealous of others. These are the uncertainties that are creating jobs in our own minds.

It's not fair that our unsafe behavior, which we radiate love. That is why God gave us a veryas a special gift of the Holy Spirit. That is the Spirit of Christ within us. We have a choice. We can either lean on our own understanding of the orientation and behave selfishly, or we can always by the vice itself, and one with Jesus Christ. Jesus is the virtues of character that I have spoken.

[The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousy, fits of rage, selfishAmbition, dissensions, factions and envy, drinking, eating and life. I warn you, as I imagine that those who live it, do not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-ands.] Galatians 5:19-22

The question we should ask ourselves, then I would probably rather my spouse and feel bad about myself and marriage, or trust my spouse and feel good about my husband, myMe and my marriage? We have a choice.

Houston Schools New Teacher Merit Pay Program - Will It Help or Hinder?

Measurement of student achievement through rigorous national tests has a standard in Texas for many years. Houston schools have conducted their first merit pay program for teachers in 2000.

Houston schools believe the old program was too deep and incentives unanimously passed the new model in January, making it the largest merit pay program in the nation. The officials believe the new program rewards teachers more committed to students and improvingindividual teacher's efforts. Although no research has been conducted on the impact of such programs to improve student performance, were other programs in New York, Denver and Kentucky tried with varying success.

Houston entrepreneurs who have an interest in the completion of future employees who are service providers to support $ 14.5 million of the new Houston schools "-have program.

Houston school teacher incentives are on three components:

• The first component is based on the amountimproving the public school, a test results, as with the results of 40 other schools across the state with similar demographic composition;

• The second compares student progress with the 10 Stanford Achievement Test and its Spanish equivalent for students in the same classrooms and schools, Houston

• The third component compares student progress with the national Texas assessment of knowledge and skills to demonstrate similar Houston schools classrooms.

About half of the 12,300Teachers in schools, Houston claim to have received awards in all three categories, possibly a total of $ 3000 per deserve. The 305 schools, Houston authorities are entitled to as much as $ 6,000 each earn if they can reach the best teachers. Each of the 19 schools, Houston "executive head teacher and five regional superintendents are for up to $ 25,000 in consideration.

With 210,000 children, Houston schools, the largest district in the state, and its new program is not withoutOpposition.

Teachers unions are usually charged against teachers merit programs, and the Houston Federation of Teachers is no exception. The Union represents 40 percent of the schools, teachers and Houston believes across-the-board raises and a higher wage-price for new teachers would be more successful in raising student achievement scores. Houston schools new teachers start at $ 36,050 (the lowest in the top ten counties in Texas), and the wages of current Houston schools, teachersare at the lower end of the school in the country.

Many teachers have complained that the program deals with art teachers, and other subjects not covered by the testing process. The program includes special education, preschool and kindergarten teachers who are the backbone for improving the academic performance of children from families with low incomes. In addition, many teachers believe that forcing them to participate in the testing requirement rather than focusing on teaching real academicPerformance.

The new program has also opened up old wounds and increases the tension in the final merit pay program and its effect on the test results that are the basis for a suspended recently laid fraud scandal. The Texas Education Agency investigated the Houston schools and other districts in 1999 because of suspicious test results. Houston schools approved last year found that evidence of fraud was at four schools and testing irregularities were found at sevenother. Finally, six teachers were dismissed and more clients have been demoted or reprimanded, leave the city and frustrated by the merit pay program and its ensuing crush results.

Although the new Houston schools, teacher merit pay program sounds good in theory, it seems that it has expanded in practice the same old problems with the previous program.

Most people do not know who is currently getting "HiSpeed" Internet access for nothing. The fact is that most of us who believe, free broadband Internet access is available. How does it take?

The answer is yes. Internet Service Providers (ISPs) do not want to be known, and for good reason. They know that people do not pay for everything they can charge.

"The people have all the options before they know opt for Hi-speed Internet access to pay," says AllanChristopher, Public Affairs Director for BB Communications. "You have to know what their choices before they buy it and most people do not want free broadband internet access is available everywhere now know to decide."

Many people who are already online believe that the only way to get fast Internet access free to illegally "hack" into a cable modem, DSL modem or other piece of electronic equipment in some way to defeat their security measures. "That could not be further from the truth," said Allan recognize, that this is a widespread misconception.

"It's about time the truth comes out. Everyone should know aboutrapid availability of free internet access, so they make an informed decision about it. "

ADHD Tied to Brain's Reward Pathway

By Jennifer Warner
WebMD Health News

Sept. 8, 2009 -- A problem in the brain's reward center may be behind symptoms like inattention associated with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ( ADHD).

New research suggests this dysfunction in the brain's reward pathway interferes with how people experience reward and motivation. Dopamine is a chemical in the brain essential to normal functioning of the nervous system.

"These deficits in the brain's reward system may help explain clinical symptoms of ADHD, including inattention and reduced motivation, as well as the propensity for complications such as drug abuse and obesity among ADHD patients," says researcher Nora Volkow, MD director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, in a news release.

ADHD is a childhood psychological disorder that may also persist into adulthood and affects 3%-5% of American adults.

Researchers say the results offer new insight into ADHD as well as help explain why people with ADHD may be more likely to abuse drugs or become obese.

The study, published in TheJournal of the American Medical Association, used positron emission tomography (PET) brain scans to measure markers of the brain's dopamine system in 53 non-medicated adults with ADHD and a comparison group of 44 healthy adults.

The results showed that compared to the healthy adults, those with ADHD had a reduction of dopamine receptors and transporters in two regions of the brain involved in processing reward and motivation.

"This pathway plays a key role in reinforcement, motivation, and in learning how to associate various stimuli with rewards," says Volkow. "Its involvement in ADHD supports the use of interventions to enhance the appeal and relevance of school and work tasks to improve performance."

"Our results also support the continued use of stimulant medications -- the most common pharmacological treatment for ADHD -- which have been shown to increase attention to cognitive tasks by elevating brain dopamine," Volkow says.
