On Beauty, Personality and the Influence of Confidence
2011-12-31 03:40:00 Although I fully subscribe to the idea of beauty being in the eyes of the beholder, there are still cases where beauty cannot be seen, no matter how hard you look, and how permissive and easygoing the beholder may be. There are people who are simply not beautiful, not by any classical or modern standards. Of course, the question may arise what exactly is beauty, and we might get into a discussion of geometrical proportions, including symmetry, shapes and sizes. And many may cry out how beauty is relative and subjective, and I fully agree with you, but notwithstanding all that, we do, more often than not, agree on what is deemed beautiful and by exclusion what is not. So what if you happen to score low on the beauty level? So what if you are not certified to be among the sexiest men and women alive? Exactly, don't despair. You still have a go at beauty because there is still the matter of personality. Personality is another shady area though. The main problem of personality is that ...

Home Ownership Confidence Shifting Among Younger People
2011-10-28 07:00:00 An October paper prepared by economists at the Boston Federal Reserve Bank measures the confidence level of consumers in today's housing market. The paper asked a series of questions and grouped the answers according to age, ZIP, income, gender, among other factors. Not surprisingly, the paper showed that older consumers have more confidence in the market and would consider buying another home. It is the younger generation that has doubts. Us older geezers, we've had to listen to our parents and grandparents lament about the Great Depression. My mother never shut up about it. Whenever something awful happened, she'd draw a comparison to the Great Depression. She still saved pieces of aluminum foil and had a hard time throwing anything out. I wonder if today's kids are growing up with the same impression?

Foreigners Losing Confidence in Holding US Treasury and Agency Debt
2011-10-27 16:42:00 By Bud Conrad, Casey Research Foreign central banks buy US Treasury and Agency debt through accounts at the Federal Reserve, where it is held in custody. Without these central banks buying our debt, the US federal government would have to find a new source of funds or the result could be higher interest rates. Looking at the data on a monthly basis (and then multiplied by 12 to give the annual rate), here is the dramatic picture of how foreign central-bank purchases of our debt have shifted, from buying $500 billion to selling off $1 trillion. At this rate of selling over several months, interest rates would go higher – if other things were equal. Of course, things are . . . → Read More: Foreigners Losing Confidence in Holding US Treasury and Agency Debt

Gaining Confidence by playing the right Golf Courses for you
2011-07-19 17:29:00 Whether you are a beginner golfer or a single-digit handicapper, playing the right golf courses for your game (and from the correct tee box) can truly inspire confidence. The reverse is also true; playing too difficult a golf course for your level of play can become a four-hour struggle, dampening your spirits and taking your game two steps in reverse.

Are the pictures a no-confidence vote in this La Grange listing?
2011-04-06 23:42:00 For years now, home buyers have been telling agents, in online forums, that good photography is a must in selling homes. Buyers repeatedly opine that they simply skip over homes with no listing photos or bad photos. The newly-listed 4-bedroom, 3 ½ bath home in a walk-to-train at 350 Blackstone Ave in La Grange, is priced at $1,595,000. According to the listing description, this "already beautiful home had a makeover in 2006 including spectacular kitchen and master bath. Gracious entry opens to large formals with beautiful fireplace. This home has been meticulously upgraded." The pictures that accompany the listing border on dreadful and certainly don't do justice to the listing copy. Will the pics cause buyers to skip over a...

Rani (3 years old female) hailed from a good bloodline, as her pigmentation and structure said, but did not have the essential mental trait of a pure bred German Shepherd.

It took me a bit little longer to get it right."The actress, who didn't single out any of her exes, has been married twice and famously dated Sean "Diddy" Combs and Ben Affleck before quietly marrying Marc Anthony, 40, with whom she had twins.Raising children, she told the conference being attended by 14,000 women and hosted by California First Lady Maria Shriver, "can make you more aware and more loving, and make you aware there's nothing they don't deserve.
