Pumpkin Picking
2008-06-25 00:03:00 Oil on 3/8" deep Hardboard 6" high x 6" wide Click here to place your bid. I found this lady at my local nursery last year a few days before Halloween. I was walking with Rufo (my 16 years old dog) and taking pictures for my works. I couldn't resist to snap this one... in fact I took a lot of pictures that day, while Rufo was laying down. What I really like about this scene was the light. The afternoon was so bright that no matter what color you were looking at it would turn absolute white because of the strong light. The reflection of the orange color of the pumpkins on the girls arm was something else that captured my attention even though her sweat shirt was gray. Encontré a esta muchacha en el invernadero cerca de casa unos dias antes de Halloween. Estaba pasenado con Rufo (perro de 16 ańos de edad) y tomando fotos para mis trabajos. No pude resistir tomar esta foto... de hecho tomé muchas fotos ese día, mientras Rufo descansaba. Lo que realmente me gusta de esta escena es la...

When picking a VP, both parties face hurdles
2008-05-07 19:39:00 Editor's Note: This is the second post by Voxant Guest Blogger Ed Grefe. To learn more about the author and read his last post, click here. - Evan McMorris-Santoro, Senior Editor FDR VP John Nance Gardner’s said of the job: It has no more value than “a warm bucket of spit.” Today that is not the case. Both parties face unique challenges in the selection process despite the notion that the top of the ticket gets to pick his/her own running mate. To begin, my surmise is that the VP nominee will be under closer scrutiny than at any other time in history. We now have the example of a former VP who has won a Nobel peace prize. We are about to have an ex-VP who has shown us how a combination eminence grise-Rasputin-Cardinal Richelieu-Machiavelli can subvert democracy and lead us down a dark road, whose only joy seems to be in the constant use of Nobel’s products – gun powder. The problems faced by each Party are different. For the Democrats, Bill Clint...

Food - Picking Fresh Corn
2008-04-28 15:59:00 Let's be honest. There is nothing in the summer time like a good hot dog, hamburger and some fresh corn on the cob. Unfortunately, with the large number of farms going out of business because of rising costs, it's hard to find a farm close by to get your fresh picked corn. Fortunately, supermarkets are aware of this and are all competing with each other to get the freshest corn possible. The question is, how can you tell if an ear of corn is fresh and how do you keep it fresh? The answers may surprise you unless you're experienced with this sort of thing. Hopefully though, by the time you're done reading this article, you'll know exactly how to pick a fresh ear of corn and how to keep it fresh once you get it home.For starters, the first thing you have to know is that corn does not stay fresh very long. So the first thing you want to do is make sure you don't buy your corn until the day you plan on cooking it. That way you are sure to have the freshest corn possible. Of course...

In a White Paper, Colliers International notes that since 2006, the strata office sector saw sales transactions rise 59.1 per cent from 2005 levels while the corresponding rise for the strata industrial sector was 49.6 per cent. By 2007, the office sector chalked up total annual sales of 595 transactions, a 117.2 per cent rise compared with 2005. The industrial sector, on the other hand, saw 1,227 sales transactions in 2007, up 81.8 per cent from 2005. While Colliers does say that some of the purchases were by end-users, it also believes that investors were drawn by the attractive net rental yields offered by these properties. This can range between 5 and 7 per cent. Residential properties, however, offer net yields...

Real Estate Market Conditions in La Quinita, CA - Picking off the cream of
2008-04-20 23:42:00 Have we finally reached the bottom of the housing market? I wish I knew. I can say however, that here in La Quinta CA, buyers are coming out and picking off the cream of the crop. La Quinta may not be typical of the Southern California housing market in general, being largely second homes, retirement homes and vacation homes inside gated golfing communities, however recent activity sure does point to a housing market bottom or near bottom. Buyers right now, seem to be mostly interested in the "cream of the crop". They are not necessarily looking for the "best deal" but rather the most "desirable and attractive" home in terms of being totally designer, turn-key furnished right down to the silverware, having the most desirable views (usually being south or west views of the nearby Santa Rosa Mountains), and being in a desireable gated community. While many of the homes selling right now are priced at $1 million - $2 million and up, there has been a l...

Cherry Picking at the CCW ?
2008-04-16 14:40:00 While the main cherry blossom season is drawing to an end in Japan, the UN Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons (CCW) Group of Governmental Experts engaged in what was, from a legal point of view at least, something of a cherry picking exercise in Geneva last week. In its capacity as Friend of the Chair, Japan held several informal meetings to identify rules and principles of international humanitarian law (IHL) of particular relevance to the use of cluster munitions, and to elaborate new provisions and best practice guidelines to strengthen IHL implementation in this context. The results of this “fruitful debate” on IHL implementation (as Japan described it) were attached to the meeting’s procedural report as an annex (Annex III), in the form of “draft elements on international humanitarian law” and “draft elements of best practice guide” (this report should be up on the UN's CCW webpage soon).Several states and the ICRC said these draft elements were cause fo...

Picking A Meaningful Benchmark
2008-04-15 01:07:00 Every now and then I'll run across someone comparing the performance of their portfolio against the incorrect benchmark. For example, if your portfolio was only blue-chip Canadian stocks and you surmised that your investing prowess is superior because your portfolio's returns were better than the S&P 500 over the last decade your reference is almost meaningless. In this case your benchmark should be the S&P/TSX 60 Index.But what about those who have a portfolio consisting of some US stocks, Canadian stocks, some international stocks and a smattering of domestic bonds? How do you know if your portfolio measures up? In this case you must create your own weighted-average benchmark.For example let's assume that our investor has 35% of his stocks in blue-chip Canadian stocks, 25% in a broad selection of US equities, and 40% of his portfolio invested in individual Canadian bonds of various maturities, credit ratings and issuers (Government and Corporate bonds). If his overall p...
Picking Christianity is like a game of Russian Roulette
2008-04-11 08:21:00 Sent in by Alan BAs far as I can remember I have been asking questions. To set the scene, I am from the United Kingdom, which is a country whilst not free from religious conflicts is not as willing to show religion on its sleeve with the same pride that America does.Both my parents raised me, and both my parents are Church of Scotland Christians. They are not the hell and damnation type, which seems to be a recurring theme on these testimonials, but the quiet type. In fact, you can barely tell they are of any religious persuasion. And this is where the questions would come. How come my parents were not as 'angry' as other Christians? Why did my parents not go to the same church as my Catholic friends? etc... The problem is, when you get two separate groups of Christians who both "love" their "god," but don't go to the same church, it is very hard to explain this phenomenon to a child. But here comes a sticking point: My parents would not go to a Catholic church any more than they...
