Why are some people more shy than others?
Is it self-esteem problems from child hood and their peers or is it just the way they are?
Reason for Reporting
No Spam
Not English
Coming from shy person other people aren't that shy.. I can say this because, my nickname is Shi and other people don't act the same way as me so this is what I think
It is probably a bit of both!
Some people are just slightly less confident or feel that they do not know you well enough to just come out and talk to you right away. They like feeling more comfortable with the situation first.
Maybe, if you are very attractive, guys will be shy at first also. That is ok. If you are interested in them and show your interest, they will open up easier and make it more funt o communicate with them.
id say both
Im a quiet person and its just the way I am. Whats funny is people think they know me but the thing is I can be completely different. I tend to be really focused at school and sometimes nervous. Ive become less shy as ive become older though. Actually some loud people have less self-esteem and talk a lot because they are nervous. Its just different personalities
the they grow up and gene thing
Admiral Question
It depends. I was pretty outgoing as a child but I also played on my own.
When I hit teens, it was rough; I had no luck with girls - could barely manage to ask even one of them to dance at dances or to skate at skates then briefly at senior high - a new school where I knew nobody - when I asked anyone, they said yes. (a mystery to me).
Now, I am still shy - no girlfriend - I am not as shy as I used to be but I've yet to find a woman willing to give me a chance...
Now the why: part of it is self-esteem - my family could be rough on me at times though sometimes I deserved it. Some of the girls/women I've been interested in apparently haven't been open-minded about who they'll date
(the guy has to be from their culture etc.).
no, it's their personality and how they are
I think it has to do with the upbringing we have. Some of us are oppressed by our parents so we can't blossom until we're out of their sight. Some are nurtured and encouraged to share themselves.
I think it has allot to with upbringing. My parents always encouraged me to always speak up for myself and involved me in many group sporting activities. The children who I grew up with in school who never seemed to participate in such activities are still shy 8 years after finishing school.
That is a very good question...I think it has something to do with self-esteem and mentality or something you were born with...
I was always extremely shy when I was growing up....I couldn't get up and give a speech or book report in school...My
throat would tighten up and my voice would come out shaky or squeaky...My peers thought I was stuck up, when in reality, I was scared to death...I kept to myself most of the time...I have no idea why I was like that.....Even today, I prefer to being a loner...I always envied people that were out going and had a bubbly personality...I had a great childhood and had no reason for feeling the way I did...Guess it is something you are born with or something from your last life....
We all have different childhood experiences and environment. How a child was brought up, reared and molded will affect his/her habits, manner, behabiour and character in the future. Shyness is the result of insecurity.
I think it has to do with self esteem, yes.
A lot of people worry about what others will say. I for one, when I talk, I NEVER look peope in the eyes.. Why? Who knows.
I think now days, people worry a lot about what others will think of them.. Some peole are so judgmental, and the people are scared that they will talk behind their backs.
hopefully one day no one will be shy, and will be happier.
Now as for kids.. Kids just are I guess. I'm not sure with why kids are.. that is a good question..
Part of it oneself and the other is how you are raised as a child. The environment around you.
anonymous 27
ya its self esteem problems....shyness isnt inherited or anything genetic....its just the way you learned to act as a result of your childhood
I have always been shy and quiet when Im around people that I dont Know,its just the way I am,
i think its how a child was brought up and maybe the environment...
Junior BRASIL (đ┤đÂĐâđŻĐÄĐÇ)
I think that's just the personality...
people who are shy may have had some problem in their childhood...
but, of course, this is not a rule... this is just the way they r...
see ya!
It is their disposition. Just like some people are funny, some are serious, some are confrontational, others are not.
Some people like being shy. They don't like talking to a lot of people.
If it is a quality you possess and don't like, you can do simple things to change it. Start by asking people in the grocery store lines or bus line or something stupid questions like, "Wow! I see you have 15 gallons of milk. That's unusual. Why so much milk?" Or, compliment them: "Oh, what a cute bag! Where'd you get it?" For guys, I suggest a comment such as, "Hey, is that *PRODUCT NAME* any good? I've heard about it, but never tried it." Things like that. Just stupid things. Then, the more comfortable you get with little things, the less shy you will be. It will always be hard for you to talk to strangers, but it makes it easier. Also, getting involved in social organizations that emphasize talking, like sororities and fraternities, help.
It may be linked a little to self esteem, but it is overcomeable. The best thing to remember is being shy isn't bad.
right side brain cell work over time
yeah self esteem and childhood family
cruel world now

It's all to do with phycoligy....some have different ways in which the mind works.
It depend what that person's personality it. I mean some people are quiet and shy while other are loud... also how they are raised. But sometime when i person doesn't get enough attention they are know to be be louder and if a person' self esteem is low then they tend to be shy. I myslef am shy... but when i get to konw you i am not so shy, but i bellieve i can d anythign i an capable of when i put my mind to it.... my self esteem is great.
depends on his/her environment..
maureen m
It really depends on the person I mean that could just be thier personality
steve m
Some people do not have the same socialization skills. To some what appears easy like striking up a conversation, may be a challenge to a timid individual.
There are also chemical issues involved, as in anxiety disorders. Through medication it often alleviates the problems and levels the playing field. Each situtation is individual.
Some are just naturally shy. It might be self-esteem problems, it might be just that they lack social skills, it might be that they really don't care if you know their opinion, or don't care to know yours.
I believe self esteem from childhood provokes shyness but i also believe its also the way they are..
its really personality I have a great life and im totally shy
it's just what we are. like me, i'm really shy.
rag dollie
Shyness may be defined experientially as discomfort and/or inhibition in interpersonal situations that interferes with pursuing one's interpersonal or professional goals. It is a form of excessive self-focus, a preoccupation with one's thoughts, feelings and physical reactions. It may vary from mild social awkwardness to totally inhibiting social phobia.

So I'm deprived of my chance to be a better dad
Staring at my twins that I never had
I shed a tear, looking up in the sky
Even though y'all just got here, goodbye
Lyric Meaning
Joe's ex baby mama, had a miscarriage that lead to the loss of what was supposed to be a twin babies.
He believe they in the heaven for they didn't have time to commit any sins.
Joey also has a son that didn't get to know Joe was his dad till he was older and he hated that that happened and saw the twins as a second chance to be the best father he could be
In the last line hes not just talking to the audience. hes speaking to his unborn children. Even though they weren't here for very long, he still loved them.

Saddle up with the Sport of Kings as Kentucky Derby Betting is back on Saturday, May 7th, 2016. In 2015, 170,513 were on hand at Churchill Downs to see favorite American Pharoah take home a purse of $1,240,000. They call this race The Fastest Two Minutes in Sports but with a jaw-dropping prize like that, they might want to change the name to "The Fastest Way to Become a Millionaire".
The Kentucky Derby, also known as the Run for the Roses, is the Super Bowl of horse racing. If there's one race that every jockey, trainer and owner dreams of winning, it's the big annual race at Churchill Downs. And we're here to get you ready for the 2016 Kentucky Derby.
Latest News
Breeders' Cup Classic Gets Triple Crown Winner American PharoahThe Breeders' Cup has been around since 1984 and American Pharoah became the first Triple Crown winner this year since 1978, so history is in the making at Keeneland on Oct. 31.

Kentucky Derby Tradition Traces Back to 1875
The Kentucky Derby has been one of America's greatest traditions dating all the way back to 1875. And tradition is definitely the theme of the event, starting with the annual date that it's hosted. The Run for the Roses is always held on the first Saturday in May. That's just the start as there's a whole host of traditions that elevate the atmosphere: there's the ladies big, ostentatious hats; classy partying on the infield; the "Millionaire's Row" box seats; the singing of "My Old Kentucky Home"; the drinking of the Mint Julep; and of course, the blanket of roses. Each year, the winner of the Kentucky Derby is decorated with a blanket of 564 red roses, hence the name the "Run for the Roses".
Kentucky Derby: Betting the First Jewel in the Triple Crown
There's some important significance to this race as it is the first of three in the American Triple Crown of racing. The other two jewels in this Triple Crown are The Preakness and The Belmont. Only 12 horses have ever won the Triple Crown (winning all three races in the same year) and each year, the pressure falls on the Kentucky Derby winner to get the job done. The challenge is that all three venues are quite different as Pimlico Race Course, which hosts The Preakness, is the shortest of the three while Belmont Park, which hosts the Belmont Stakes, is the longest.
We'll tell you more about the history of the race and all of the great horses that have made their mark as we prepare for this year's edition. We'll also delve into further detail about Churchill Downs itself as that racetrack has some special characteristics. It's important to understand what the track is all about before betting on Kentucky Derby as certain types of horses will thrive there while others might struggle. The track opened up in 1875 and we've got plenty of empirical evidence to work with, so that we can more accurately predict a future winner.
So sit back, relax and soak it all in. Betting on the Kentucky Derby is one of the greatest American pastimes and it has been for decades. We'll be your guides through the odds, contenders, past results and even show you the best places to bet as we get set for this year's running of the Kentucky Derby.
The Top Resource for Betting the Derby
If you're doing some research and are on the internet learning about how to bet the Kentucky Derby, the first thing you need to know is how to find a reliable sportsbook. The Kentucky Derby presents a good money-making opportunity but you'll need to start by finding a shop that has odds on the big race and then open up an account. The good news is we have many years of experience evaluating the online sportsbooks and can recommend the best destinations for you. Setting up an account is a pretty quick process and the sportsbooks that we've circled will even give you a bonus just for opening an account and depositing. That's a great bonus as it allows you to play with a little bit of the house's money when you eventually bet on Kentucky Derby.
While that may excite you to dive right in, make sure you take advantage of all of the resources on this site before you get going. We've got guides on Kentucky Derby odds and the different bet types, which is quite important. Sure, you can bet the race winner but you'll want to know the difference between Win, Place and Show, as well as learn about some of the exotic bets like the trifecta, superfecta and exacta.
2016 Kentucky Derby Contenders
Once you've got a firm grasp on the basics, then all there's left to do is have a look at the 2016 Kentucky Derby contenders. As we prepare for the Run for the Roses, there is what's called a Road to the Kentucky Derby, which is a points system that determines which horses will qualify for the big race. It has 34 stakes races, including 16 races over a 10-week schedule that is known as the Kentucky Derby Championship Series. If you're betting on the Kentucky Derby, you'll want to keep an eye on how the horses perform in these races (also known as the Kentucky Derby prep trail) as it will give you a good indication as to who has what it takes to win at Churchill Downs.
So, are you feeling excited? The sweet smell of spring is right around the corner and so is the 2016 Kentucky Derby. We've got a full resource here for you to tap into, so get yourself acclimated to the betting odds, the thoroughbreds, the trainers, the tracks and the jockeys. Get ready to place some bets and pick some winners as we'll have you so prepared that you'll be ready to saddle up yourself!

'Summertime': 'The livin' is easy,' in many different voices
'Summertime,' the signature lullaby from 'Porgy & Bess,' is one of America's greatest musical hits. More than 33,000 versions of the song have been recorded, according to The Summertime Connection, a Dutch website that compiles a list of recordings of the song.
Through June 9, Milwaukee audiences can hear the song performed live at the Broadway Theatre Center, where the Skylight Music Theatre is staging "Porgy & Bess," with Kearstin Piper Brown and Rhea Olivaccé alternating in the role of Bess. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

So, I'm dicking around on BBC and all of a sudden, my phone asks me if I want to turn my device off. I click no and continue reading along. Then my phone completely turns itself off out of nowhere. I can't turn it on, it won't even show it's charging if I plug it in.
I Google the issue and apparently this is a common problem. I have only had the phone for 5 months and have taken very good care of it, protective case, etc. I had the Samsung Captivate (First in the Galaxy series) for almost two years before it died a drowning death and I never had any problems with it, which led me to buy the S3.
Do you have an S3, and if so has this happened to you? Did you have it replaced, and did it cost you? Did Samsung replace it with a new or refurbished phone?

Spring Quilt Market Online Enrollment Now Open!
New Quilt Scout – The Dirtiest Term in Quilting
Summer Quilt Camp™ features Melinda Bula
Preview Chicago Festival on YouTube!
Column #41
Volunteers work on making tops at the Quilts Beyond Borders booth at the International Quilt Festival in Houston in November.
In a recent post about The UnOILed UnspOILed Coast Quilt Project, I wrote about the use of quilts to convey social, political, and religious points of view in support of various causes championed by their makers. Another type of cause with which quilts have become increasingly associated is that of disease awareness.
This was much in evidence at the most recent International Quilt Festival in Houston, where a variety of specially made quilts served as both a backdrop and the focus of a number of booths aimed at expanding knowledge about certain diseases. Most, if not all, of such awareness groups have a fundraising component.
Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative (AAQI) was founded in 2006 by well-known quilter Ami Simms. AAQI "is a national, grassroots charity whose mission is to raise awareness and fund research. The AAQI auctions and sells donated quilts, and sponsors a nationally touring exhibit of quilts about Alzheimer's. The AAQI has raised more than $421,000 since January 2006."
Girl Scouts set up a booth to promote their Patchwork Promise's Sew Awesome for Girls 11-17 Project. The theme of the project is Women's Health Issues, and it introduces girls to sewing and quilting by encouraging them to make items that are donated to those in need. The project has particular relevance to the group, since Juliette Low, the Girl Scout Founder, succumbed to breast cancer in 1927.
Ovarian Cancer Quilt Project "was established to educate the public about the risk factors and symptoms of ovarian cancer through the artistry of quilting…Since 2002, quilters from MD Anderson's Ovarian Cancer Support Group and the community have donated blocks to make quilts which are displayed each year at the International Quilt Festival in Houston…With the growth of the quilt project, an online quilt auction was launched in 2008. Due to the success of the first online quilt auction, which featured 68 quilts and raised $11,440, a second online quilt auction was hosted in October of 2009 which featured 107 quilts and raised $25,120."
In addition to ovarian cancer, the project has grown to promote gynecologic cancer awareness in general, establishing colors to associate with and symbolize various types, such as teal for ovarian cancer, teal and white for cervical cancer, and teal and pink for the ovarian/breast cancer link.
Quilts Beyond Borders deals with Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). "Started in 2007
with the delivery of 230 quilts to HIV orphans in Ethiopia," the group has delivered 850 quilts to Addis Ababa and another 215 to Haitian orphans to date. At its Festival booth, the group gave out 350 kits to be made into quilts for this effort and took in completed tops, fabric, and many other donations as well.
The Houston affiliate of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation set up a booth that featured a quilt in the foundation's iconic pink color scheme. Information on breast cancer awareness, including causes, detection, treatment, and prevention factors were available for Festival attendees.
The prevalence of such groups at Festival underscores the fact that quilters in general have always had a strong affinity for altruism. This selfless desire to better the situation of others forms a common thread among those in the quilting community, and I can think of no other artform for which the same can be said of its participants.

How to End the Fed, and How Not To
How to End the Fed, and How Not To
Mises Daily:
Monday, September 10, 2012
by Gary North
It would be very easy to end the Federal Reserve System. Congress would write the following bill. The president would sign it.
The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 and all subsequent amendments to that act are hereby revoked.
The gold that belongs to the United States government, and which is
kept on deposit with the Federal Reserve System, is hereby transferred
to account of the United States Treasury.
If the Federal Reserve System has made any secret agreements with
other central banks regarding the ownership of that gold, those
arrangements would become legally null and void. The Fed would own no
gold of its own to deliver. Ownership would revert to the United States
If other central banks wanted to sue the Federal Reserve System, an
exclusively private entity acting on its own authority alone, to recover
any gold the Fed had promised to deliver, they would have the right to
do so. If they really thought the Fed could deliver on those agreements
merely because a court ordered it to, they could hire lawyers and sue.
Andrew Jackson versus Central Banking
There is a legal precedent for all this. In 1832, Henry Clay and his
allies in Congress decided to make a political issue of the Second Bank
of the United States, the Federal Reserve System of that era. It was a
presidential election year. Clay proposed the rechartering of the bank
four years early. The bill passed Congress. The Wikipedia account of
what happened next is accurate. A confrontation took place between
Nicholas Biddle, the most arrogant central banker in history, and
President Jackson. How arrogant? He believed he could crush Andrew
Jackson, and said so in private letters.
Jackson mobilized his political base by vetoing the re-charter bill
and — the veto sustained — easily won reelection on his anti-Bank
platform. Jackson proceeded to destroy the Bank as a financial and
political force by removing its federal deposits, and in 1833, federal
revenue was diverted into selected private banks by executive order,
ending the regulatory role of the Second Bank of the United States.
In hopes of extorting a rescue of the Bank, Biddle induced a
short-lived financial crisis that was initially blamed on Jackson's
executive action. By 1834, a general backlash against Biddle's tactics
developed, ending the panic and all recharter efforts were abandoned.
In February 1836, the Bank became a private corporation under
Pennsylvania commonwealth law. It suspended payment in 1839 and was
liquidated in 1841.
Jackson did not have to do anything else besides pull its accounts.
The bank could not compete. It was a legal appendage of the US
government, although privately owned. It went belly up.
So would the Federal Reserve System. Its profits would henceforth be
taxed by federal and state governments. Its authority to regulate
commercial banks would end. It would no longer establish reserve
requirements. Excess reserves owned by the commercial banks that are
held on deposit at the Federal Reserve would no longer be backed by the
US government in any way. They would probably be pulled out overnight —
all $1.5 trillion worth. This would be a bank run like no other in
banking history.
The Federal Reserve and its allies — virtually the entire
intellectual class — use this fear to maintain its position as the
quasi-public bureaucracy in charge of America's money. It lured the
nation into the lobster trap of debt — debt undergirded by Federal
Reserve fiat money and congressional deficits — and the country cannot
see a way to get out on a pain-free basis. There is no pain-free escape,
as we will find over the next two decades: hyperinflation or the Great
Deflationary Default or both.
The government's debt and the monetary inflation cannot go on
indefinitely. Either the dollar dies or else the debt is repudiated.
Maybe both.
Goodbye, Fed
What would replace the Federal Reserve System? Nothing. Without any
federal government connection, there would be no central bank.
What would be the new currency of the United States? Not Federal
Reserve Notes, I suspect. Something else. But what? Whatever the free
market creates.
Who would bail out Congress when it runs huge deficits? Not the
Federal Reserve System. Then who? Maybe nobody. Preferably nobody. What
would be there with QE3? Not the Federal Reserve System. Then what?
Preferably nothing.
There is an old political slogan: "You can't beat something with
nothing." But the free market's system of supply and demand, profit and
loss, is not nothing. Replacing crony banking and the legal authority to
print counterfeit money is positive. It is like replacing cancerous
cells with normal cells. It is a vast improvement.
Problem: removing cancerous cells surgically with no anesthetic is
painful. People put off the operation as long as they can. The cancer
Proposed Reforms by Economists
The great error of every scheme to reform the Fed, or regulate the
Fed, or even replace the Fed, is this: it establishes a professionally
designed system of money management that relies on a committee of
government-paid economists. These schemes have this in common: they
never rely exclusively on the free market to determine what money is.
They always place a committee in charge. The committee is supposed to be
staffed by economists. In short, the reformers all invoke central
planning of some kind.
The starting point of any economically plausible system to end the
Fed should be a commitment to avoid all forms of central economic
planning, for all of the reasons that Ludwig von Mises set forth in his
classic 1920 essay Economic Calculation in the Socialist Commonwealth.
Here is the problem in both theory and practice: academic
central-bank reformers believe in central economic planning. They do not
trust the free market in the area of money. They all think that a
committee of government-salaried experts has greater wisdom than the
free market.
The central benefit of my proposed reform is that it does not rely on
any committee. It does not rely on coercion by the government. It
relies exclusively on the free market. This is why Keynesians will
reject it, Friedmanite monetarists will reject it, supply-siders will
reject it, Greenbackers will reject it. None of them believes Mises's
1920 essay.
If I had the motivation, the time, and the curiosity, I would write a
book on various proposed reforms of the Federal Reserve System. But why
bother? None of the proposed reforms will ever gain wide acceptance.
Academic economists do not agree on much of anything, other than the
wisdom of central banking. They agree with Marx, who defended the idea
of a central bank in his famous ten steps to communism.
Besides, Congress will not enact any carefully designed reform. If it
enacts anything, it will be some last-minute scheme proposed by a joint
congressional committee that is advised by the secretary of the
treasury (Goldman Sachs) and the chairman of the Fed's Board of
Governors in the middle of a financial catastrophe. In other words, it
will be a replay of October 2008.
"Trust the Federal Government!"
In order to illustrate my point — the economists' credulous faith in
committee-managed money — I am going to dissect a plan of monetary
reform offered by an obscure academic economist. Why bother? Because his
plan goes back to a plan proposed by Henry Simons, who taught Milton
Friedman. It also goes back to Irving Fisher, the inventor of the
statistical-index number.
As we shall see, the author calls for pure fiat money, issued by the
government. His proposal features 100 percent reserve banking, but it
explicitly denies any need for a gold standard. The money supply would
be controlled by the government. In short, we can trust the government
to manage the money supply. Here is what Henry Simons proposed in 1934:
100 per cent reserves, simply could not fail, so far as depositors
were concerned, and could not create or destroy effective money. These
institutions would accept deposits just as warehouses accept goods.
Their income would be derived exclusively from service charges — perhaps
merely from moderate charges for the transfer of funds by check or
draft.… These banking proposals define means for eliminating the
perverse elasticity of credit which obtains under a system of private,
commercial banking and for restoring to the central government complete
control over the quantity of effective money and its value.
This is cited in a refutation of Simons written by Professor Huerta
de Soto, an Austrian School economist and legal theorist. It appears on
page 732 of his detailed book, Money, Bank Credit, and Economic Cycles
([1998] 2012). The key phrase is this: "restoring to the central
government complete control over the quantity of effective money and its
value." There is nothing free market about this proposal. It is statist
to the core.
Simon Says
Henry Simon's disciple is Professor Herman Daly. He is retired. He
has for a generation been a major promoter of zero-growth economics
(ZGE). He has challenged the central confession of faith of virtually
all economic policy making. A list of his books tells the story: Toward a Steady-State Economy (1973); Steady-State Economics (1977; 1991); Valuing the Earth (1993); Beyond Growth (1996); Ecological Economics and the Ecology of Economics (1999); and Ecological Economics and Sustainable Development
(2007). The title of the last book is intriguing. How you can have
sustainable development in a zero-growth economy is surely a puzzle.
But, honestly, it is a puzzle that I do not choose to solve. I think
sustainable development implies economic growth. If it doesn't, I'll
pass. He is a self-proclaimed green economist — green as in ecology, not as in "cash on the barrelhead." (Most economists are green in the latter sense.)
In an essay on banking reform, he proposes the other kind of green economy: cash on the barrelhead. He asks,
If our present banking system, in addition to fraudulent and corrupt,
also seems "screwy" to you, it should. Why should money, a public
utility (serving the public as medium of exchange, store of value, and
unit of account), be largely the by-product of private lending and
borrowing? Is that really an improvement over being a by-product of
private gold mining, as it was under the gold standard?
You can see where this is headed: (1) money as a "public utility"
(government); (2) gold as bad, because it is private. He is a Chicago
School economist of the old school: a fiat-money man. He wants green,
not gold. He wants paper, not metal. He wants government, not private
ownership. He wants badges and guns, not contracts. He sounds like a
Greenbacker. "Why should the public pay interest to the private banking
sector to provide a medium of exchange that the government can provide
at little or no cost?"
Is there not a better away? Yes, there is. We need not go back to the
gold standard. Keep fiat money, but move from fractional reserve
banking to a system of 100% reserve requirements. The change need not be
abrupt; we could gradually raise the reserve requirement to 100%.
Already the Fed has the authority to change reserve requirements but
seldom uses it. This would put control of the money supply and
seigniorage entirely with the government rather than largely with
private banks. Banks would no longer be able to live the alchemist's
dream by creating money out of nothing and lending it at interest. All
quasi-bank financial institutions should be brought under this rule,
regulated as commercial banks subject to 100% reserve requirements.
I am also for 100 percent reserves, as a matter of the law against
fraud. Professor De Soto explains this in 800 pages. But I am not in
favor of the US Congress's being in charge of the money supply. Yet he
wants a committee of expert economists and statisticians to determine
the money supply.
To make up for the decline and eventual elimination of bank- created,
interest-bearing money, the government can pay some of its expenses by
issuing more non interest-bearing fiat money. However, it can only do
this up to a strict limit imposed by inflation. If the government issues
more money than the public voluntarily wants to hold, the public will
trade it for goods, driving the price level up. As soon as the price
index begins to rise the government must print less. Thus a policy of
maintaining a constant price index would govern the internal value of
the dollar. The external value of the dollar could be left to freely
fluctuating exchange rates.
He is a committee man. They are all committee men. They all exercise faith in committees of economists.
Who, exactly, will make sure that the US Congress will not inflate?
Who will enforce the rule that the money supply — undefined — will raise
prices back to zero-price increases?
He never mentions this. Fed reformers never do. "Trust Congress,"
they imply. Old-time-religion Greenbackers actually do say this. The
PhD-holding reformers never do.
Then he invokes John Maynard Keynes:
Alternatively, if we instituted John M. Keynes' international
clearing union, the external value of the dollar, along with that of all
other currencies, could be set relative to the bancor, a common
denominator accounting unit used by the payments union. The bancor would
serve as an international reserve currency for settling trade
imbalances a kind of gold substitute.
So, he went from the gold standard (bad) to a committee appointed by
Congress (good). Now he moves to a New World Order committee that is
totally separated from Congress (best). He is not a 100 percent pure
Greenbacker after all. He is a Keynesian-Chicagoan-internationalist,
zero-growth, ecological Greenbacker. He is unique. Fortunately.
Then he comes clean. He admits where this idea came from.
In the 1920s the leading academic economists, Frank Knight of Chicago
and Irving Fisher of Yale, along with others including underground
economist and Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, Frederick Soddy, strongly
advocated a policy of 100% reserves for commercial banks.
There it is: an appeal to Frederick Soddy, one of the patron saints
of Greenbackism and its cousin, technocracy. Soddy was a monetary crank.
He is still cited by Greenbackers. I have never before seen a
PhD-holding economist have the courage or the honesty to cite him.
Also, there is Irving Fisher, who invented the index number — the
tool that Daly's committee would use to plan the economy through
planning the monetary system. He is the man Milton Friedman called
America's greatest economist. He was challenged by Ludwig von Mises in
Mises's Theory of Money and Credit
(1912). He believed in the same fiat-money system that Daly proposes.
He lost his fortune and his sister-in-law's fortune in the Great
Depression. He was the author of this insight, published on October 17,
Stock prices have reached what looks like a permanently high plateau.
I do not feel there will be soon if ever a 50 or 60 point break from
present levels, such as [bears] have predicted. I expect to see the
stock market a good deal higher within a few months.
A week later, the crash began.
If he was the greatest economist in American history, why was he also
the most bonehead forecaster in American financial history? I offer
this suggestion: his statistical methodology misled him.
Daly concludes:
To dismiss such sound policies as extreme in the face of the
repeatedly demonstrated failure and fraud of our current financial
system is quite absurd. The idea is not to nationalize banks, but to
nationalize money, which is a natural public utility in the first place.
The fact that this idea is hardly discussed today, in spite of its
distinguished intellectual ancestry and common sense, is testimony to
the power of vested interests over good ideas. It is also testimony to
the veto power that our growth fetish exercises over the thinking of
economists today.
I dismiss all of this as fiat-money crackpottery. It is central
planning by monetary committee. Some version of this doctrine is held by
virtually all mainstream economists. Professor Daly is simply the most
open about the doctrine of money by bureaucratic government committee.
The economics guild today is burdened by a century of erroneous
monetary theory. Central planning is the universal doctrine still:
central planning of money. The quest for power through politics has been
the dream of all would-be philosopher kings from the days of Plato. It
is the dream that politicians will listen to experts at all times,
especially times of crisis.
This dream is inherently crackpot. Why would anyone with any
understanding of politics take it seriously? But economists do take it
seriously — all except the Austrians.

There are rules that outline the Fiat process that find their root in the Enuma Elish, and according to most there are only a few functioning models and to some, there is only one model in which to operate a functioning monetary system.

That refers to individual state powers, not congress.
However, by this wording, it's possible, and probably legal, for say a state to start issuing gold and silver backed currency separate from the federal gov't.

Of course you still can! If you have tools or techniques to make it similar to her brush storkes, you can still do it in another program. Sure, it will not be EXACTLY the same, but it won't be, even if you have SAI or not.
I really like the green and red eyes!
They look awesome! Thanks for sharing!
beautiful *-*
This is such an amazing tutorial
The only downfall I can see to your tutorials... is you don't actually explain what you do :/
Agreed, none of the tools or effects, we're kind of just left to guess.

SSarah is so hot sucks cock and looks like only one chick that's so enjoyed if I had her ?? Heaven wow she good what she does and I love the way she rubs her lips on a empty tool that fills her mouth and that arose mmmm heaven
Wow thats a plaster mask!!
big asses
listen to these blokes critique a guy that just got to drop a load on a chick that hot
If it all landed in the one place, then it would have made a big mess. The first "shot" backfires straight back at him. What a waste.
That was actually a pretty pathetic shot. Not really "massive" at all.. =|
That's hot!!
oooohhhh I would love to get a facial like that and have all that cum dripping from my face.

Critic Reviews for Underworld Awakening
All Critics (70) | Top Critics (13) | Fresh (18) | Rotten (52) | DVD (2)
It really adds nothing to the already dull mythos of the vampires war with the lycans...
As stylish and flashy as the action is this time around, I can still only recommend Underworld: Awakening to diehard fans of the series.
This was a film that was so soulless and so lifeless that it had not made a single bit of impact while it was playing.
if you are looking for an intelligent movie you may need to look elsewhere.
Underworld: Awakening boasts some fun stylized action, and Kate Beckinsale back in that skin-tight outfit, but it also continues the franchise's streak of frustrating mediocrity.
What begins as a promising reset ultimately settles into a too much of a retread, however watchable it may be.
Audience Reviews for Underworld Awakening
This fourth installment is getting excited and entertaining since the second one about the mankind discover the existence of the Vampire and Lycan species and they begin a war to annihilate the races. Selene (Kate Beckinsale) awoke after 12 years while she and her lycan-vampire hybrid Michael Corvin were caught by the government, and she was freed by Eve (India Eisley) who is revealed to be a hybrid and the daughter of Selene and Michael.
But the mother-daughter relationships shown were actually good and original - no hugging, no crying, no, "I love you, sweet girl!" Selene behaves as she should - she lost her loved one, so she wouldn't be a smiling happy mother just because she now has a daughter (though of course she would protect her).
I could see Beckinsale in a bunch of physics-defying action scenes while dressed in her character Selene's signature leather outfit. You get that here. The action scenes are slick and well-made, the Lycans look better than they ever have before, and the ending sequence, involving at least three distinct battles, is satisfactory, even if the ending as a whole promises much more than it delivers.
Super Reviewer
Good to see Kate Beckinsale back for this forth outing. Just a pity it seems they are short of ideas, and backing it seems. It doesn't have the production value of the previous films, especially the first two. The cgi for the Lycans at times isn't that impressive. Hopefully if they do anymore it will be with a bigger budget and better story line. For fans of the franchise mainly who seek another Selene outing.
Super Reviewer
Since it's rough beginnings i've always been a huge fan of the Underworld saga and i've entirely devoted myself in defending it from the huge amount of people who have always had many reservations for it and seem to think otherwise. I know for a fact that the series is not as unintelligent as people think. I've always loved it's absolutely beautiful gothic visuals, the convincing lead performances, and the well choreographed action sequences. I believe that Selene is portrayed brilliantly by Kate Beckinsale and in that role she is simply badass. Selene is a very interesting and likable heroine whom you can easily relate to in reality. But most people really dont view the series the same way I do. Those who constantly criticise the film for it's lack of dramatic depth and character study dont seems to enjoy pointing out that the spectacle and set pieces in the film's are designed incredibly well. I often argue that the previous films do in fact have depth. However even myself, a massively loyal fan to the series, found some elements of Awakening problematic. Their is less of a focus on Selene and characterisation of the supporting characters in this 4th installment. I felt unengaged with them unlike a lot of the characters in the previous films and i'd be lying if I said that it wasn't a let down for me. The plot of Awakening is very thin, but nevertheless interesting. If any sequels are made I hope they take the opportunity to develop it into something unique and unexpected. But even though Awakening has a few problems that were not present in the previous films it has fast paced action that doesn't fall short and an elegantly intimidating performance from Kate Beckinsale that we've all come to expect, but still entertains me. It stands out from other installments by throwing in some interesting ideas into the mix that work very well but even though it's dissapointingly weaker than the previous chapters i'm still very confident in thinking it wil please the Underworld faithful, and as a fanatic of the Underworld franchise, I was entertained all the way through.

Steve Helber, Associated Press
For many of the women, the chemistry lab was a home away from home — a sorority for nerds, of sorts, that hints at the slow but steady shift in technical fields that have been traditionally filled with men.
Rebecca Allred has fond memories of that lab at the College of William and Mary in Virginia. She and her peers spent hours there. They worked into the night for their professor, Elizabeth Harbron, because they wanted to, blowing off steam by dancing to the soundtrack of "Mamma Mia" or taking a break on Fridays to play Putt-Putt golf together.
Harbron was not only their mentor, but often a confidante. They shared their frustrations. They celebrated their successes. Several published their findings with Harbron's guidance, a rarity for undergraduates.
"That lab was a refuge between classes. I loved being there," says Allred, now a second-year doctoral student in the Yale University chemistry department and one of a new generation of young women who are helping change the face of the so-called STEM fields — science, technology, engineering and math.
Though she was happy to help blaze the path for them, Harbron says she didn't set out to create an all-women's lab. It happened naturally. Students like Allred sought her out because they liked her informal, lively teaching style.
"I don't want to become a female ghetto of over-achieving white girls," Harbron jokes, referring to the general makeup of her lab these days. Then she asks more seriously: "But am I just perpetuating the model that's gotten us where we are?"
In other words, she wonders, has she inadvertently created the female version of the "old boys' network"?
Whatever the answer, it's hard to argue with her results: her lab has become a place where these young women gained confidence to match their abilities, she says.
Many, like Allred, have gone on to graduate programs.
That's a big deal in the STEM fields, which have been slower than other disciplines to integrate women at the highest levels.
With two-thirds of all undergraduate degrees and 60 percent of master's degrees now going to women, many believe it's only a matter of time before that trend influences the upper echelons of the STEM fields.
Already, statistics from the Council of Graduate Schools show that women, overall, earned slightly more than half of the doctorates handed out in all disciplines in the United States in 2009 and 2010. When it comes to the STEM fields, women have been most successful in medicine and biology — and least successful in engineering, math and computer science.
But experts hope that, too, will change. A recent report from the American Association of University Women notes that, 30 years ago, the ratio of seventh- and eighth-grade boys who scored more than 700 on the SAT math exam, compared with girls, was 13 to 1. Now it's 3 to 1.
"You gotta fill up the pipeline and support these good people and, after a while, things get straightened out," says Thomas Pollard, dean of Yale's Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, which includes Allred's program.
Some would argue that that pipeline is still too leaky in the STEM fields.
"In an ideal world you'd expect that it'd catch up, but it doesn't quite catch up because we're still losing women at every level," says Ted Greenwood, a former director with the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, which funds several STEM programs that target women and minorities.
That said, he and others note that women are still making more progress than minorities, particularly black men.
And even in fields like chemistry, engineering and math, the percentages of women who received doctorates still has steadily increased over the last decade, according to the Council of Graduate Schools report.

Williams beats Sharapova for 15th straight time
|Serena Williams, of the United States, returns to Maria Sharapova, of Russia, at the Sony Open Tennis tournament in Key Biscayne, Fla., Thursday, March 27, 2014. Williams won 6-4, 6-3. (AP Photo/Alan Diaz)
KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. (AP) — Between points, Serena Williams stood motionless behind the baseline with her back to the net, as if trying to match — or mimic — the methodical ritual of her opponent, Maria Sharapova.
They took turns waiting on each other, the pace of play plodding, but there was no delaying the inevitable. Williams beat Sharapova for the 15th consecutive time Thursday, rallying in both sets to win 6-4, 6-3 in the Sony Open semifinals.
"I have always felt when I'm playing at my best, then it's hard for people to beat me," Williams said.
Seeking a record seventh Key Biscayne title, Williams improved to 16-2 against her favorite foil. Sharapova hasn't beaten Williams since 2004.
"Despite my results against her, I still look forward to playing against her because you learn so much from that type of level which she produces," Sharapova said. "You finish the match, and you know where you need to improve and the things that you need to work on."
No. 7-seeded Tomas Berdych advanced to Friday's semifinals, beating No. 22 Alexandr Dolgopolov 6-4, 7-6 (3). Berdych was the Key Biscayne runner-up in 2010.
The No. 1-ranked Williams won with a superior serve and better returns. She hit nine aces and broke five times, which helped her rebound from deficits of 4-1 in the first set and 2-0 in the second.
"I wasn't playing my best," Williams said. "I knew if I wanted to stay in the tournament and make another final, I just had to play better."
She did, earning her 14th consecutive victory against a top-10 player. Her opponent in Saturday's final will be the winner of the semifinal Thursday night between reigning Australian Open champion Li Na and Dominika Cibulkova.
Williams said she wouldn't scout the match.
"I never really watch," she said. "I get too nervous."
Williams first won Key Biscayne in 2002 and is the defending champion. A minority owner in the Miami Dolphins, she has worn the team's orange and turquoise throughout the tournament she considers her home event because she lives 90 minutes up Interstate 95.
"When I grew up I always wanted to play here," she said. "I guess I just don't want to let go. It's my favorite stop on the tour. It's home. All my friends come. So it's perfect for me."
There was no evidence of a home-court advantage at the start, when Williams failed to convert four early break-point chances and fell behind. Sharapova cracked a succession of winners from the baseline and earned applause from Williams after besting her in one exchange.
While Sharapova is notorious for her deliberate routine between points, Williams doesn't usually play so slowly.
"I just made some errors, and when that happened, I was just trying to regroup and get my mind back together and just try to get back focused and just try to get things going again," she said. "It just helps me to be able to relax. Sometimes I do get a little uptight."
The approach worked. Williams broke back when Sharapova committed three consecutive backhand errors, and gained momentum from there, sweeping the final five games of the first set.
The story was similar in the second set, and after falling behind, Williams resorted to her dominating power. She quickly won one game with two aces and two service winners during a stretch when she swept 11 consecutive points.
"In key moments she served really well today," Sharapova said. "Big serves. I got a few of them, but not good enough to get myself back in the point."
Williams' rhythm and pace improved as the match progressed. She peaked at 122 mph.
"I hadn't been serving great too much this tournament, and then I started serving a lot better today," she said. "I was hitting 120. I was like, `Whoa. Is that me?"'
Sharapova committed groundstroke errors on the final three points, and a victorious Williams trotted to the net, her left fist leading the way.

NOI does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered to be an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of the Company's financial performance or to be an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of the Company's liquidity; nor is it indicative of funds available for the Company's cash needs, including its ability to make cash distributions. The Company believes that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measurement to net operating income. Net income includes interest and depreciation and amortization which often have no effect on the market value of a property and therefore limit its use as a performance measure. In addition, such expenses are often incurred at a parent company level and therefore are not necessarily linked to the performance of a real estate asset. The Company believes that net operating income is helpful to investors as a measure of operating performance because it is an indicator of the return on property investment, and provides a method of comparing property performance over time. The Company uses NOI as a key management tool when evaluating performance and growth of particular properties and/or groups of properties. The principal limitation of NOI is that it excludes depreciation, amortization, interest expense, and non-property specific expenses such as general and administrative expenses, all of which are significant costs, and therefore, NOI is a measure of the operating performance of the properties of the Company rather than of the Company overall.For more information about Sun Communities, Inc.
