How to Win and Retain Assets Through Messaging and Building Relationships
This article is the first in a three-part series from guest contributors Eric Brand and Kevin Kasper, Principals at BK Communications Group. To contact Eric and Kevin directly, please email them at email@example.com.
The investment management business is more fiercely competitive than ever before, making it difficult to de-commoditize and stand out from the pack. Regardless of a manager's track record, pedigree, or organizational excellence, investor decisions often hinge on the meeting, the in-person contact that leads them to trust – or not to trust – the manager with their money. Yet managers commonly minimize the importance of meetings, and are thus often either ill-prepared or ill-behaved.
What's more, many non-sales personnel lack the natural presentation skills or requisite experience to successfully navigate a meeting. Clearly, ineffective prospect meetings can be an obstacle to winning assets. Yet that's not all. Poor client service meetings are a business hazard as well, since they can add to client dissatisfaction and the cost of lost assets is so great.
So what's a manager to do? Our most recent Strategic Commentary, "It All Comes Down to the Meeting," takes a look at the problem and offers specific solutions. The first thing is to recognize reality: any company that needs to solicit clients – and keep them once attained – is a sales organization, regardless of the product or service offered. That makes every hedge fund, wealth manager and service provider a sales organization. And during a meeting with a potential or current client, it makes everyone involved a salesperson.
As salespeople, we must take to heart that great adage of sales, "People do business with people they know, like, and trust." In other words, good relationships are the goal because they help secure and retain clients. This applies across the investment management landscape. A recent Preqin survey of family offices, for instance, found an increasing number insisting on "a close relationship and good communications with fund managers."
Building relationships is a process, of course, not an event. In our experience, there are two pillars of relationship building: credibility and rapport. A lack of credibility will give potential investors a reason not to do business with you. Strong rapport will give them every reason to do business with you.

posted a message on I only care about 2 numbers:Posted in: Barbarian: Bastion's Keep
1: Unbuffed (idle) character sheet dps, so I can compare online profiles/armory
2: Actual, REAL sustained dps. Pick a straight fight boss (Azmo/Ghom) hp/time taken = real dps.
boss HP charts here (still accurate): http://www.diablofans.com/topic/72154-patch-105-inferno-mp-0-10-hit-points-chart-wip/ -
posted a message on There is a known tooltip bug, it was mentioned in one of the dev. blogs or blue posts, cant remember which.Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
I have used this "feature" to find some bargains on the AH.
if an item has:
+ xx-yy damage
AND +xx min or max damage
then only the +xx-yy damage is displayed in the tooltip.
The only way to find the values of these "missing" rolls is by the AH "average damage" search.
The AH "average damage" function will display the true bonus damage.
Pity Hellfire rings cant be listed so you can see this.
For example, I used this to find a bargain +dmg/cc Natalya's Reflection.
Tooltip said only "+9-18 damage".
The AH "average damage" for this should be 13-14, but this one showed 42. (there were a bunch of 9-18s showing "14")
Therefore it had a hidden +28minimum damage, so I snapped it up for a fraction if its real value. -
posted a message on Lifesteal makes a huge difference, combined with a tactical change.Posted in: Monk: The Inner Sanctuary
Im have 110k dps, 2.9% lifesteal, cookie cutter.
When I get a reflect group, I run past them & grab a bunch more mobs into the fight.
Once I have a nice big crowd (or 2nd elite pack),
I go back & concentrate on the reflect-ers, lifesteal from aoe on the adds usually easily outheals the damage.
If health gets a bit low, I turn & beat on the adds for a few secs to regain health -
posted a message on I used it myself pre-1.05, at the time it addressed issues Blizzard had acknowledged & planned to fix.Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
I magined they at least "turned a blind eye" to it for those reasons.
Now patch 1.05 is live, most of these issues are dramatically improved, so I don't see much "moral" justification for using it anymore.
I would be very wary of using it again post-1.05, I don't think Blizz's tolerance of this program will continue. -
posted a message on I imagine fear in itself isn't the problem, dps/LoH loss shouldn't be too big.Posted in: Monk: The Inner Sanctuary
It becomes a problem on molten mobs though.
Even pre-1.05, I never even considered EF as an option.
I just thought "Fear.... molten..... erm, no thanks!"
On low MP you probably wouldnt see any problem, but as you go up MP levels it would be a real problem.. -
posted a message on Gems, gems, gems.Posted in: Monk: The Inner Sanctuary
They are reusable, so the faster you get to max-level gems the longer they have to pay you back.
Weapon & helm gems pay for themselves quicker, so I prioritise these 1st.
You'll do it eventually anyway, & it only "hurts" once, so the sooner the better = longer benefits for the expense.
I also scrapped my +exp gem, switched to +life% & moved up 1MP instead. -
posted a message on Yep, agreed with all.Posted in: Monk: The Inner Sanctuary
Sweeping winds drop-off is too quick, thunderclap AND 24% or more movement speed are effectively mandatory for reasonable uptime. -
posted a message on Even comparing using EHP calculators, +life only wins if it's A LOT better.Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
With equal EHP, +protection wins hands down.
The simple reason being health gains (loh/lifesteal/lps/globes) are fixed,
so +prot = lower dmg in, same healing in. -
posted a message on Posted in: Diablo III General DiscussionQuote from RencolAnd for the super fast leveling bot guy, it is definitely a bot exploiting spider spawning towers in act2. Thorn, xp and regen gear proves it. You cant even say hes present all the time, going afk or to sleep, server would DC him after several minutes. He either has to have bot which is periodicaly recasting warcry for example,
He's definitely not using some "endless spider spawn" trick.
From his profile "career" page, his normal:elite killratio is 17:1, very respectable (lower than mine)
If this was key to his progression, his ratio would be a hell of a lot higher - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

It's time for the masses to be represented in Congress
by Thom Hartmann
posted Aug 20 2013 4:48PM
This won't come as a surprise to many of you, but unless you are an bankster or a billionaire, you're not being represented in the United States Senate. According to a new study published in Political Research Quarterly, Senators in the last five Congresses have consistently voted to benefit their wealthy constituents. And, those votes virtually ignored the political will of everyone except those at the top.
The study's author, Thomas J. Hayes, wrote, "The fact that lower income groups seem to be ignored by elected officials, although not a new finding, remains a troubling observation in American politics." Mr. Hayes used data from the National Annenberg Election Survey to compare the political opinions of constituents to the voting records of their senators in the last five Congresses, and discovered what he called "oligarchic tendencies" in the American [political] system.
During two of the Congresses, when Democrats were in charge, Hayes found that Senators did vote in accordance with middle-class constituents. But even then, the political will of low-income voters was virtually ignored. During Republican-controlled congresses, only the political opinions of the wealthy were represented.
Of course, there are a few Senators that constantly work to give low-income and middle class voters a voice in Congress, but the vast majority of our lawmakers ignore those of us who can't contribute huge sums to their campaigns. We've known it for some time, but now we have hard evidence to show how important it is to get money out of politics. If we ever want to be represented by our elected leaders, let's overturn Citizens United and return the power to the public masses – where it belongs.

There's a reason that the "American Dream" includes owning your own little bit of land and a house to decision home. Home possession could be a dream and goal for many folks – plenty of labor and dedication goes toward obtaining the house and eventually paying off the mortgage. whereas some would possibly accept 3 bedrooms, 2 bogs and a lounge that is "big enough", there are those that lie awake at nighttime picturing the right castle, imagining each detail of their dream home and the way everything must be so it's good.
Looking at coming up with your dream home however just about positive the way to place it all on paper? don't fret – you do not have a degree in design and no-one expects you to grasp it all.
Start off straightforward and place your concepts down on paper. Organise concepts into rooms and tidy them up till they begin to seem sort of a arrange.
Attach costs and before you recognize it you will be able to sit down with an architect.
The most necessary a part of any arrange is determining your limits. sit down with an architect
When you have all the concepts, plans and associated prices, take them to an architect to begin talking styles. With variety of pc programs and websites dedicated to creating floor plans and even entire home styles, some folks wish to work on it themselves a bit to urge a stronger image in their head. Take any homemade plans, drawings or styles in with you; keep in mind that you just need your architect to check what you are picturing in your head – something you'll do to assist is useful.
Your architect can assist you style the size and provides valuable data on obstacles, concepts on the way to overcome them and an expert perspective on your dream. Be terribly clear together with your budget and work along to draft a totally detailed arrange of your new home that you just will take to the builders.
Then, you may finally be able to see your plans, ideas, and daydreams come back to life!

I have many bad experience with Webster
Since I applied a mortgage with Webster, I have been using this bank. I think the only one thing they helped me was giving me a mortgage. Their service level is Very low. I cannot stand this. Before I applied the mortgage, we discussed the fee. However, the paperwork the banker provided was not he promised. We figured it out on the closing day. The seller did not want to set up closing another day again. The banker did not attend the meeting, so I called him many times. He did not pick up the phone. The worst thing is he did not explain well even after the closing day. I feel people working in this bank do not care about client.
When I go to the branch close to my home to deposit, they ask me to use ATM in most of cases, even though nobody waiting for.
Today, I figured out that they made me a loan which I did not ask for. I do not know why I always have problems with this bank.

I constantly have trouble getting on line. It is Sunday, just about the only day of the week i have time to do personal banking and other related chores. I can't get on line and their is no one available at Bancorpsouth to assist by phone.
My suggestion is to have operators on the weekend. that can assist with banking needs.
The branch i bank at is Wonderful, friendly people and always willing to help... only wish they could assist on Sunday. By the way, my other bank does have 24-7 phone assistance. Thanks

Their Dunning practices are like vultures!
This is not the first time that TD Bank did this. For some reason I paid my payment this month and they said that I was $12.00 short. They called me for two days on my cell-phone ( I was in the hospital) when I noticed an 800 number had called me like 6 times in two days. I was resting when they called again. I asked why they were calling me as I paid my credit card on time. They said that I was $12.00 short (?) I said, you are hunting me down for $12.00 (?) I will be paying off my account with them and will never do business with them again. They are vultures!!!!

Really bad online banking system
Since First Merit took over our branch from Citizens Bank, it's been one problem after another, but the worst by far is their online banking system. There is no running balance so you can see a problem if they say there is one, debits appear then disappear. It takes them a very long time to deduct online bills paid through their system. If you over draft and something seems off, there's really no way to see if that's so, since many transactions are not visible. It's an absolute mess compared to Citizens very transparent and up to date system. We're out of this bank as soon as we can be. I feel like this set up is designed to keep the customers confused and that makes it very easy to make costly mistakes to the benefit of the bank. I miss Citizens.

I've been with BofA since 1977, when I was 15. It used to be a great bank, when it was owned in San Francisco. Since it was sold to whatever company in North Carolina, it has spiraled downhill especially in customer service. Absolute nightmare stuff. They literally fuck up everything and lie to you about what they'll do, and then when they don't do it and you call them on it, they say they can't do it. Seriously, worst bank on earth. On Monday, I will end 36 years with B of A. Stay away!!!
I am rating them as 1 below because there are no negative numbers, but giving them a 1 is vastly overrating them.

The Monday letter "Cast off labels in discussion about abortion" from Stephanie Kight left out the most important issue: the rights of the child.
She said the decision to have an abortion or raise a child should be left to the woman, but what about the father and the child?
What would the child say if he or she could be questioned? If the child could scream, it would be screaming for life, not death.

Just want to chime in and say that I've used the Sachtlers quite a bit (owned 20SB and 18SB) and these are EXCEPTIONAL heads! Construction is high quality and movement is smooth and precise. While Miller is a great head for the money, it's literally like a difference between a Ford and BMW (let's be honest, German construction is quite superior).
BUT I am a big believer in using whatever gets the job done, and for that reason Miller 55 is also one of my favorite heads because, as Steve wisely pointed out, price-to-performance ratio is enticing. I just don't know if I would ever see a Sachtler crack in the same way as you described your Miller experience.

Contributions to Long Island united campaigns during the 1983-1984 fund-raiding year were the greatest amount in the history of the bicounty area. A combined total of more than $7 million in pledges was announced by United Way of Long Island. Contributions the previous year were $6.38 million. These donations came from both local and regional organizations on Long Island as well as from individuals. Among local organizations, contributions to this campaign rose 10.7 percent for a total of $3,784,308. Last year's campaign among local Long Island groups raised $3,418,142. Because of contributor response. United Way is distributing 10 percent more funds to the 130 Long island voluntary agencies and hospitals affiliated with United Way of Long Island last year. This is the largest one-year increase in allocations since 1978. CSEA Workers Demonstrate At at BHS Custodial and cafeteria workers picket in front of Board of Education meeting at Bethpage High School. Photo by Jeffrey Arena by Eden Laikin Neither rain nor sleet nor 32-degree temperature could have stopped the members of the Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA) from making their rounds at Beti^age High School Tuesday evening, March 27. The occasion was a regularly scheduled meeting of the Board of Education, with whom custodial and cafeteria workers are having contractual difficulties. The meeting was not called to discuss the grievances, but nevertheless the members demonstrated outside in an "honorary" picket line and went inside when the meeting started. The picketing members included custodians, cafeteria workers, maintenance, workers, nurses, aides -— bus drivers and secretaries of the high school, alLof whom are members of CSEA but of different units. The issue at hand: contract negotiations between the custodial and cafeteria workers and the Board. President of the custodial unit of CSEA, Ray De Vincent, organized the pickets after being unable to receive siatisfac-tory conditions in the new 3-year union contract. The group's main concern is with the last year of the contract in which the Board has proposed what workers say is an unsatisfactory pay increase. According to DeVincent, 'The Board of Ed, as of right now, has not wanted to meet with us. The negotiations have been going on for 9 months. We gave them some possibilities to work with, that would have saved them money, but they weren't interested." Although the negotiations are for custodial and cafeteria workers, picketing members from other units were on hand to give support to their fellow union members. After about an hour of demonstrating outside, the picketers went into the meeting. No serious clashes occurred but they made their presence strongly felt. According to several custodial workers, a new meeting will be held sometime next week in which both sides will seek awayoutofthedilemna.

As an adolescent girl, growing up under William Branham's Message of the Hour, I stood poised before a great fall. Sometimes I felt a cold breeze rising from the pit in front of me. I knew that against my will I was edging closer, and would someday have no choice but to jump in. But I looked frantically for an outlet or a bridge, digging in my heels against the edges of the pit. The name of the abyss was womanhood.
I was taught that the Bible recognized three classes of people: men, women, and children. In God's plan for the family, authority descended directly in that order. Men obeyed God, women obeyed men, and children obeyed all three. For those living within this scheme, God's blessings were assured, but stepping out of line meant incurring a curse.
As I reached puberty, I became acutely aware that I was leaving one class for another. I was transitioning from childhood to womanhood, and the latter was not a class I wanted to join. As a child, I was never specially commanded to obey my male friends. I could assert myself if they tried to act "bossy," and a parent would rebuke the offender. We were all equals as children; we all had to obey our parents. None of us had the right to order one another around. This was a short-lived world of equality, however. When my breasts began to bud at nine years old, I angrily flattened them with a tight sports bra, disgusted by the reminder of what I was to become. I wore that flat swath of spandex all the time, even to bed, although I sometimes endured shooting chest pains as my lungs struggled against the constriction. I set my jaw in disappointment, warding off the tears when my period arrived at age 11. I didn't want to be a woman.
Women in my church had one purpose: the "highest calling" to which we could aspire was indeed our only acceptable calling. At our best, we could be "jewels" in the crowns of our husbands – pretty, docile objects men cherished and admired for their beauty. We were to be keepers at home, obedient to our husbands, clothed modestly with "shamefacedness and sobriety," forever repaying Eve's debt with the agonies of childbirth. William Branham taught that men and women were placed on equal footing before the fall, but also that Eve's sin was a natural consequence of her creation as a "by-product" of Adam. She was defective from the start: not even a part of the original Creation, Branham said. Before the fall of Lucifer and his angels, God had allowed him to design one facet of the universe, the only thing He hadn't already created: the woman's body.

THE MAROON V0L.72 NO. 21 Loyola University New Orleans FRIDAY, APRIL 15, 1994 ESTABLISHED 1922 Res Life master keys found buried by Miller Hall By JENNY JOHNSON News Editor Cynis Robinson had an extra $1,000 to spend during his Easter holidays after he turned in the missing Residential Life keysonMarch2s and claimed the reward money. Robinson, premed/biology freshman and work-study desk assistant, said he found the keys underneath some shrubbery near the corner of Miller Hall. They keys were in aplastic bag when they were found. Robinson said he was in the 5-North restroom in Biever Residential Hall Jan. 28 when he overheard two men talking about a set of keys they had obtained. Robinson described the rest of the incident as follows: Two men conversed in the bathroom when he was in a stall. The men did not indicate the keys were the master keys to the residential halls. He could not identify either of the men. The men said they were going to bury the keys by a building. Robinson could not remember which building the men mentioned. Robinson said he did not do anything about what he overheard until almost four weeks later when he read a letter that Reed posted in Biever Hall mi Feb. 25. The letter offered a $500 reward for any information leading to the recovery of the keys. After he read the letter, Robinson believed the men he had overheard earlier may have been referring to the master keys. He said he reported what he knew to Reed and began to dig around different buildings, mainly at night, in search of the missing keys. He said he searched a few times but found nothing. In a letter to the Biever residents, dated March 24, Reed stated: "I am announcing that I have increased the re ward for the keys to SI,OOO. Return the keys to me, no questions asked. I will not take any disciplinary or civil action against you." Robinson said that after he read this letter, he decided to search again. On the morning of March 25, he found the keys. Robinson said he found Senior RA Pat Mooney, political science senior, to retrieve the keys with him. He and Mooney then took the keys to Christina Fouroux, New SGA sworn in despite questions By CATHY NICHOLS Assistant News Editor Christian Creed, second-year law student, and Katy Montgomery, political science sophomore, were sworn in Tuesday as the new SGA president and vice president for the '94-'95 school year. The results from the presidential runoff between Creed and Eroyl Meryl, communications senior, were: IJndergrad Law Total Creed— 356 366 722 Meryl— 429 78 507 During the initial elections held before spring break, several candidates filed election code violations. Complaints included poll officials wearing campaign material, booths open for short periods of time and improper role-taking procedure. According to Montgomery, some people complained about how the SGA voting booths were worked. "Sometimes the booths weren't open when I thought they would be. But, it doesn't say in the election code exactly when they should be open," Montgomery said. Run-off elections between Creed and Meryl were held right before spring break. According to Martha Lee, political science junior and court of review member, they didn't want to have the runoff after spring break, so it was the only convenient time. Lee said it wouldn't have made much of a difference in the runoff results if the election was held later. According to Meryl, the runoff gave Creed an unfair advantage. "I had won by undergrads during the preliminary vote, but then many undergrac': had left early for spring break," Meryl said. Meryl wrote a letter contesting the results. He submitted copies to the SGA election board and SGA adviser, Tim Bamett, on Wednesday. Meryl said that Bamett sympathized with him butsaid he should have objected to the scheduling before the election. Meryl said he did not receive any responses from former SGA president ErikaSchwarz, first-year law student, on behalf of the election board. According to Schwarz, Meryl's letter was forwarded to Court of Review Chief Justice Doug Kinler, and it was up to them to deal with the ruling. Kinler said he never received the letter. The election board stood by their Photo by JOHN VANDOVER Newly elected SGA President, Chrstian Creed, is sworn into office by former President Erika Schwarz Policy throws punch at Tulane parkers By CHRIS RAPHAEL Editor in chief To create more parking spaces for Loyola students during construction of the new library, the university has decided to eliminate parking permits next year for Tulane students. As a result, approximately $55,000 in revenue from the sale of those permits will not be available, according to Ray Garofalo, Express/Card and Parking Services director. Garofalo said that initially the university planned to lose approximately SOparking spaces during the construction. To compensate for the loss, the university will no longer sell the 110 permits currently sold to Tulane students at $500 each. "They've [Tulane students] been generally good customers and I don't want to lose them," he said. "But it comes down to a decision of serving Tulane students better or Loyola students better." Garofalo said that he doesn't know how the university will compensate for the $55,000 loss and isn't counting on more permit sales to Loyola students to make up the difference. According to Garofalo, since the opening of the parking garage, revenue from permit sales have remained fairly constant . "I'm not anticipating that (increased permit sales to Loyola students) happening, but I'm hoping it does," Garofalo said. The Rev. James C. Carter, S.J., university president, said that the university's parking policy has always been that they do not sell to outsiders if Loyola students would be inconvenienced. He also said that he could not determine whether the $55,000 loss will have an impact on next year's budget of several million dollars. The newly-created spaces will be open to those who purchase permits. Garofalo said that contrary to what most students think, faculty, staff and administrators pay for parking. Thomas Hall and shuttle spaces are a few of the limited reserved spaces on campus. Students who choose to park on the street must wrestle for the few first-come first-serve available spots innearby zones, such as the ones on St. Charles Avenue and Calhoun Street. Many of these zones only offer twohour parking, and students who park in them must move their cars to an unlimitedhours zone if they plan to spend more than two hours on campus. Elizabeth Vance, communications sophomore and Metairie commuter, did not purchase a permit because of the high price. As a result of tangling with hectic city parking every morning, "I've been late for so many classes that it's not even funny," she said. Paul Setoon, communications senior, owns a permit, but does not think the price is entirely justified. "I could see it as justified if there were better supervision of the facility [the parking garage] itself. I've heard horror stories about people who parked next to the [attendant's booth] and their car got stolen," he said. " I feel it would be a better investment of my money if my car was safe when I parked there." Vance said she always calls Public Safety for escorts to her car at night, even when it is parked only a block away from the main campus. See KEYS.

Poppy Photos

Poppy Profile
This beauty was found in one of my favorite local nurseries, Terra Sol. There are a lot of beautiful poppies around this time of year, but the advantage of taking my camera to Terra Sol is they have them up on shelves which makes it a lot easer to get nice angles like this. Of course I have been known to lay down on the ground with my camera when necissary to get these beauties, but it's nice to have a variety of subjects all in one place.

Poppies and Dasies Playing in the Sprinklers
I didn't intentionally put the water drops on these flowers when I was taking care of a friend's yard. But I did have my camera along for just such an occasion. I loved the way the light caught the huge drops of water. The beautiful curves of the drops complement the small ridges of the poppy petals nicely. And then the daisy decided he wanted to be in the picture and leaned in from the right and said CHEEEEESE. Ok, maybe I spend a little too much time in the garden, but I'm making up for a very busy year that saw my plants too neglected.

Icelandic Poppy
Although it's been a rough winter spring is just around the corner. Of course it's never far away here in California. The winter gives us beautiful sunsets, but now it's time for some amazing spring flower images.
Thursday, September 4, 2008
Cleared for Landing
Sometimes I have to chase them forever to get the shot I want. But this one was very cooperative. I got quite a few nice shots It's always nice to work with good models.
Tuesday, September 2, 2008
Red Gold
We often try to get these guys to grow all around our property but with the exception of one pretty hearty yellow one that came up this year from seeds planted last year they seem to have a mind of their own. Even the first poppy that was the inspiration to start this site was a volunteer that popped up in one of our potted plants. This is one that we purchased from the Santa Barbara Botanic Gardens. The red color was really striking and I couldn't pass it up. Which is probably not a bad thing considering we were there for a Bonsai show so there were much more expensive and delectate things I could have fallen in love with.
Saturday, May 17, 2008
Mexican Tulip poppy
This is a new friend that followed us home from
a nice little nursury in Montecito. Nursuries
are a dangerous place really, we only have a small
backyard and it is getting pretty full.
Last week a similar thing happend with a Passion Flower
vine and a dwarf Fingered Citron tree. Both of which
will be featured on the Photo of the Day in the near future.
Just as soon as their blossoms get a little further along.

Low Aperture Poppy
I've always liked playing with low aperture shots. I like the way the stem of this poppy goes out of focus fast. For comparison, the apple from Thanksgiving was about as tight (high) aperture as this lens gets. Which kept the nice texture of the skin in focus over the whole surface.
Sunday, June 10, 2007
Poppy Field
This photo almost looks like a painting to me. The narrow field of view gives it a very dream-like quality. I keep intending to play with some other subjects, but the flowers have really captured my attention lately!
Tuesday, May 29, 2007
Cup of Gold Nectar
Kind of like The Hound when she gets
into her food "Face First".
This bee was very cooperative. She spent a lot of time on each
blossom. I guess she wanted to make sure she did not miss anything.
This was the only flower on the plant that had the cool "crumpled"
look. All of the other flowers were more cup-like. Fitting,
since their name in Spanish (Copa de Oro) means "Cup of Gold."
Monday, May 28, 2007
Poppy Seed Pod
No, it's not upside down! Well, the photo's not anyway, the flower is.
This is the same flower from the Photo of
the Day on the 20th. By the looks of things there will be
poppies all over the place in our back yard next year.
I like the "cross section" look of the flower. And the ruffled
edge of the petals too.
Thursday, May 24, 2007
Orange Centered Poppy
I found this guy the other day at the Santa Barbara Botanic Gardens along with his friend. Unlike the dark one they actually had quite a few of these, but only one with a flower with this cool shape. This particular one caught my eye first through my camera lens as I was chasing a bee hovering by it!
Sunday, May 20, 2007
Dark Poppy
About a year and a half ago I found some beautiful dark poppies in Ventura. Yesterday we went to a Bonsai show at the Santa Barbara Botanic Gardens. Along with a really cool grape and curly willow we found a single dark poppy. Of course I had to bring it home. I went a little crazy yesterday. In addition to the Bonsai sale, my wife found a bunch of Epiphyllum cuttings for sale. I think it's about time for a real back yard!
Monday, October 16, 2006
I like the look of the closed poppies, but the one over achiever that decided to stay open later makes it much more interesting.

Poppy Pollen
There are not may California Poppies
blooming at the moment. But the ones that
are sure do put on a nice show.
It was the pollen that attracted me to this particular

Wild Petals of Gold
If you have been around the site for a while, or just looked back through the history of images you already know I love California Poppies. This one is a little bit different than most of my poppy photos. I really like the imperfection of the petals, the wild angles seem to bring out the beautiful texture more.
Sunday, November 20, 2005
Poppy from a different point of view
I thought this would be a nice contrast to the Photo of the day for the 17th. They are quite different images, but they were taken only moments apart of exactly the same flower.
Thursday, November 17, 2005
Backlit Poppy
I had fun getting this image. I actually had to lay
on the ground to get this perspective. (and it was
a very HOT day to lay on the sidewalk)
This is one of my favorite subjects, in fact it was
the subject of the first image on this site.
Tuesday, November 8, 2005
Poppy Profile
So I have been building this site for a while, but this evening was a first. I went to Google to search for the scientific name for Icelandic Poppies and this is the page I found.
Sunday, October 2, 2005
Poppy of the Day
I had a lot of fun with the Poppies this year. I can't remember a time when I saw so many different California Poppies. Perhaps it is a result of the amazing rainy season we had last year. I believe it was the second wettest year on record. Perhaps the beauty here is our reward for the precarious spot we choose to live. Right now we are seeing some nice sunsets as a result of the wild fires. Not a lot of consolation for those that have lost their homes, but the firefighters have done nothing short of a heroic job this year keeping that to a minimum.
Sunday, September 4, 2005
Abstract Poppy
I like the simplicity of this one. There is enough texture in the closest petal to keep it interesting. One of my favorite subjects!
Monday, August 29, 2005
Poppy Pod
It has been an amazing season for California Poppies.
Which has made a lot of fun for me and my camera.
Sometimes I keep at a certain subject to try to
work out as many angles as I can, and they have kept
me busy this summer.
Now for the hard part... I have to pick my favorites!
As we move into the fall season the art show season is picking
up. And, I am in the process of trying to increase the number
of images I display. I have been seeing a few repeat visitors now
that I have been doing this for almost a year (which is
very exciting) and I love to have something new to show them!
I am not sure what format it will be in, but this will
be one of the images that will make it's debut soon.
Wednesday, August 24, 2005
Cup of Fire
Another red California Poppy. The dark areas are not shadows, this flower was in full sunlight. That is actually the color of this one.
Wednesday, August 3, 2005
Sunlit Poppy
The first explorers to California dubbed these little beauties "Copa de Oro" or "Cup of Gold". I can see why.
Thursday, July 21, 2005
Poppy Petals
Another scan from my recent lunchtime
walk in Ventura. The red of these
poppies looks like it was brushed
on to a normal orange California Poppy.
They are a beautiful variant.
One of the interesting things about these
poppies is the way they adapt to their local
area. There can be a slightly different
variant that lives only in an area as
small as a single small valley.
This variation actually makes them more hearty in a
specific area, they are adapted to the exact conditions
and climate.
In fact, it is actually possible to hurt the wild
poppy population by plating seeds. Since most of the
seeds you would get from the local garden supply shop
are from stock that was originally exported to Europe. Being
acclimatized for European gardens, releasing these plants
in an area with native plants can actually weaken the
resulting cross-pollinated next generation. Strange
but true. Oh, and don't even think of collecting
seeds in the wild, thats illegal. Oh well, some things
are just meant to be enjoyed where they live!
Tuesday, July 19, 2005
Poppies in the Sun
A couple of weeks ago I was in Ventura to meet a client that I am doing a little development work for. Fortunately, I try to carry my camera with me everywhere. While I was in Ventura I found these beautiful poppies in a parking lot. They are much redder than the average California poppy. Although, it is a little hard to tell in this image because of the backlighting. More to come though as I finish scanning the other rolls of film from that day (it was a good day for pictures!)

Why write about the Edwards scandal? Here's a short clip-'n'-save response to those (including many friends) who argue the Edwards scandal shouldn't be pursued--or at least pursued too vigorously-- even if it is true:**
1. No "private citizen": Edwards was certainly a contender for VP, or a big cabinet post like Attorney General, or even the Supreme Court, before the scandal first erupted in the "undernews" in late 2007. Some reporters say he was still on Obama's VP list until quite recently. If he's now finished as far as those big jobs are concerned, it's in large part because of this scandal, which Obama might never have learned about if everyone had followed the MSM's lead. Even now, Edwards may not be out of the running for an array of lesser public posts--including cabinet-grade positions--that provide non-trivial power and a platform for future advancement. Important unions back him. Until last week, he'd been traveling the country keeping himself in the public eye in a way well-designed to let him play a big national role in either the Obama administration or the opposition to the McCain administration. It's silly to say "he's just a private citizen"--he's much less of a "private citizen" than, say, William Bennett was in 2003 when Jonathan Alter and Joshua Green torpedoed Bennett's career by revealing his gambling habits.
What makes the scandal awful and unpleasant--as opposed to the Bennett scandal, which was delicious--is that Edwards has a very ill wife. But, as Susan Estrich has noted, that's also what makes Edwards' alleged behavior awful and unpleasant--more objectionable than anything Bennett was accused of doing.
2. Hypocrisy: Ah, but Bennett was a hypocrite-- a man whose chief claim to national attention was as a sophisticated moral scold who turned out to have a major gambling jones. Edwards is a hypocrite too, in much the same way. Why, after all, was Edwards ever considered presidential material. Is he a great executive? No. A brilliant policy expert? No. An accomplished diplomat? No. He's an ex-Senator with one undistinguished term in office who rose in life on the basis of his singular ability to use tearjerking stories to move juries and win large verdicts . His presidential campaign has featured similarly moving anecdotes, such as the famous 10-year old girl "somewhere in America" who goes to bed "praying that tomorrow will not be as cold as today, because she doesn't have the coat to keep her warm."
Edwards' most effective anecdote this year, however, was probably the story of his popular wife Elizabeths' struggle against cancer. He made it the emotional center of a TV ad:

Daniel Gallington is the senior policy and program adviser at the George C. Marshall Institute in Arlington, Va. He served in senior national security policy positions in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Department of Justice, and as general counsel for the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
Congress has long been obsessed with "being relevant" in any national security issue with "legs" in the media. And, while sometimes they do us proud in their regulatory quest, sometimes they are their own worst enemies.
Unfortunately, the recent squabble over "who changed the CIA talking points on the Benghazi attack, and why" is a prime example of the latter.
Recall that the creation of a "director of national intelligence"—and a whole new layer of administrative bureaucracy for the intelligence community—was a recommendation of the "9/11 Commission," which was also a creature of the Congress.
[See a collection of political cartoons on Congress.]
Recall also, that the idea of a director of national intelligence—and the new layer of administrative bureaucracy required to sustain it—was opposed by President George W. Bush. By the way, it would have been opposed by any president—Democratic or Republican—mostly because it was believed to interfere with the president's prerogatives as "commander in chief."
However, once created, the director of national intelligence quickly became a political entity insofar as it was "captured" by the White House and the National Security Council. How? The the director is a political appointee, as are the seniors at the National Security Council. So—in effect—the director of national intelligence was quickly and fully integrated within the council's structure to support the national security policies and programs of the president.
And, you can't "blame" the president—any president—for doing this, if only to "neutralize" the effect of the director of national intelligence, which was opposed by the president in the first place.
[Take the U.S. News Poll: Should Obama Nominate Susan Rice for Secretary of State?]
So, I wonder, how can Congress be surprised or offended if the director in fact changed the talking points the CIA wrote—for whatever reason—pertaining to the Sept. 11, 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi?
Did Congress really think the "president's people"—whether they were at the National Security Council or the director of national intelligence—were going to help create a huge political problem for the president, i.e. the characterization of a "terrorist attack" against the United States on the anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001 attacks—and just before a presidential election?
Also—and it should go without saying—that if the president loses reelection, the National Security Council and director of national intelligence political appointees "go home" as well.
[Read the U.S. News Debate: Does Barack Obama Have a Mandate?]
Still surprised the CIA talking points were changed? Likewise, neither should be the Congress. After all, they created this bureaucratic monster, and shouldn't be at all surprised—or offended —that it's now been "trained" to bite them whenever it's politically expedient.
Perhaps sadly, there are three primary conclusions to be drawn from this exercise:
- Bottom line? It's national security politics as usual in Washington.
- The "truth"? We may never know it—especially if someone "dropped the ball" on the Benghazi attack—and most likely someone did.
- The future? Look for our eminently predictable Congress to try and create a "Benghazi Commission"—that, if created, recommends yet another legislatively imposed layer of bureaucracy.
It never ends in this town.
