CALGARY, ALBERTA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/07/13 -- Americas Petrogas (TSX VENTURE:BOE) ("Americas Petrogas" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Agua de Afuera (ADA.x-1) unconventional, shale exploration well has reached total depth ("TD"). The well drilled through 340 meters or 1,115 feet of the primary target Vaca Muerta shale formation with oil and gas shows through most of this shale section. Hydrocarbon shows were also encountered in secondary targets such as the Agrio, Quintuco and Tordillo. The ADA.x-1 well was drilled to a TD of 3,448.5 meters or 11,311 feet. A complete suite of logs has been run and conventional and side wall cores were cut and recovered. Casing has been successfully set and cemented to a total depth of approximately 3,442 meters or 11,290 feet in preparation for a planned well test. The Company will begin detailed analysis of the cores and cuttings at international service company laboratories in Argentina and in the USA, in the near future.
The ADA.x-1 well is located approximately 9 kilometers west of the LTE.x-1 unconventional, shale well, which was a new oil discovery (http://americaspetrogas.com/news_2012_nov28.html) on the Los Toldos II block (38,400 gross acres or 155 square kilometers or 60 sections).
The ADA x-1 well is the third unconventional, shale well with primary target the Vaca Muerta, relating to the Los Toldos farmout agreement with ExxonMobil. Americas Petrogas is the Operator holding a 45% working interest in the Los Toldos blocks; ExxonMobil also holds a 45% working interest, with the remaining 10% held by Gas y Petroleo del Neuquen ("G&P").
Mr. Barclay Hambrook, President and CEO of Americas Petrogas said, "As this is the second well in the Los Toldos II block, this new well will help to determine the extent and potential resources of the Vaca Muerta, and will also provide valuable information on several other potential horizons of interest."

Instead of using images which looks unrealistic and photoshopped you can try this page. www.stock-image-point.com
All images completly free and they looks more private than other stock images. I also use these images perfect for my viral campaigns and for instagram.
Jul 9 Posted 1 year ago
I though you could use google's advanced image search, to find images that you can use in your blog. Is that not correct? I also like www.flokka.com , who have some great images that you can use with a citation
Apr 25 Posted 2 years ago
http://Flickr.com is the best of the lot up there, but emerging sites such as http://highresolution.photography where you don't have to spend hours finding needles in ashes to get great photos will top the list.
Jan 10 Posted 2 years ago
I found a site that offers all of their original picture quotes for free to use for bloggers. They just require a link back to the page on which you found the image, but that's fine with me.
These are great because when I share my posts via Facebook and pinterest it gets a lot more social lift because the quote images are highly sharable to begin with. Just make sure the quote image is listed as your facebook "og image" in your html. My posts get liked and shared about 300% more with these images.
Oct 31 Posted 2 years ago
Of the ones you listed, only Morguefile is totally public domain images with no restrictions on use. Also check out pixabay and http://www.goodfreephotos.com for public domain image resources.

Thank you for your relevant information about blog photos and thank you for sharing a relevant information about social media blogs. This will surely help us andeducate everyone.

Hey Taylor! Thanks for sharing. I'm a big fan of morguefile and flickr myself. Just a question on how you're giving attribution though. I was always under the impression that you're supposed to add a link to the photographer unless they specifically say that it's ok not to. Just like morguefule where they say no attributuon is needed.
I noticed that you aren't doing that. You're just giving a link to the site when it should both be to the site and the actual photographer. Or am I missing something here? I'd appreciate it if you'll answer this question.

DEARBORN, Mich., Feb. 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
- The Ford Driving Skills for Life (DSFL) program plans to double the number of teen drivers it reaches on this year's U.S. high school tour to approximately 40,000
- The award-winning Ford Driving Skills for Life program will partner with the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA) to reach about 200 high schools across the United States this year
- Ford Driving Skills for Life kicks off its 10th year of teaching new drivers safe driving skills
- More than 550,000 new drivers globally have utilized DSFL's online and professional hands-on driver instruction
For the 10th year new drivers around the world will get an opportunity to improve their skills through the Ford Driving Skills for Life (DSFL) program. Traffic fatalities are the leading killer of American teens, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, with about 2,700 drivers ages 16-19 killed annually on American roads.
"Inexperience is the leading cause of crashes in young drivers, and Ford Driving Skills for Life includes a variety of engaging and targeted methods to deliver key skill sets that boost young drivers' confidence and knowledge," said Jim Vella, president, Ford Motor Company Fund and Community Services. "Our mission is to make the roads safer for everyone."
In 2013 Ford DSFL will reach about 200 high schools with its safe driving materials, thanks to Ford Motor Company Fund and the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA). GHSA calls Ford Driving Skills for Life the nation's most comprehensive teen safe driving program, with hands-on community driving events, Web-based learning, government grants, fun contests and free educational materials for parents and teachers.
This year's plans include visits to at least 40 high schools to reach about 40,000 teen drivers, which is almost double the number of students reached during last year's high school tour. Ford DSFL will visit high schools in California, Texas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Virginia and Arizona with an array of activities focused on distracted driving and other common driving challenges faced by teen drivers. Teens will be invited to community hands-on driving clinics utilizing specially equipped vehicles. The clinics offer professional drivers and multifaceted activities that build skills in four key areas: driver distraction, speed/space management, vehicle handling and hazard recognition.
"Ford's commitment to partnering with states on teen driver education remains unprecedented," said GHSA Chairman Kendell Poole. "With state and federal highway safety funding continuing to be limited, Ford's support is increasingly critical."
Ford DSFL is continuing its partnerships with the Illinois Department of Transportation and Michigan Office of Highway Safety Planning to bring two innovative programs to schools. Now in its sixth year, Operation Teen Safe Driving has helped to reduce teen auto fatalities in Illinois by 48 percent through a competition for innovative teen-led safe driving campaigns at more than 105 high schools. The Strive 4 A Safer Drive program in Michigan is modeled after the Illinois program and will reach almost 40 high schools this year.
Global outreach
Outside of the U.S., Ford DSFL works to reduce the number of traffic fatalities and injuries by teaching safe driving skills to licensed drivers of all ages.
Ford DSFL is now in its sixth year in Asia with programs in mainland China, India, Indonesia, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines and South Africa. About 13,500 drivers were trained last year and more than 63,000 people have been trained since the program began there.
Ford also is bringing DSFL to the Middle East in 2013. In partnership with the United Arab Emirates Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research and the Road and Transport Authority, Ford DSFL will visit three universities with professional instructors who will demonstrate safe driving practices using specially equipped Ford vehicles.
The needs of drivers and the local driving environment are addressed during the training in each market. For example, in China DSFL added a segment on the use of child safety seats after a new regulation went into effect there, and sessions tailored for female drivers were conducted in several countries, including Thailand and Indonesia.
In Vietnam Ford DSFL launched a No Honking campaign to reduce the adverse effects on road safety of the prevalent and inappropriate use of vehicle horns. Ford DSFL in India and China launched a campaign inviting drivers to "pledge to drive safe," and this campaign will expand into more countries in 2013.
Web-based training
In 2013 Ford DSFL is launching an enhanced version of the interactive Web-based training called "The Academy" on its website www.drivingskillsforlife.com – which will be redesigned during the first half of the year. Expanded use of social media and interactive Web-based tools also is under way in the Asia Pacific region. Other free materials are available upon request for students, educators, parents and community organizations.
About Ford Motor Company Fund and Community Services
Ford Motor Company Fund and Community Services works with community partners to advance driving safety, education and community life. For more than 60 years, Ford Motor Company Fund has operated with ongoing funding from Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F). The award-winning Ford Driving Skills for Life program teaches new drivers through a variety of hands-on and interactive methods. Innovation in education is encouraged through national programs that enhance high school learning and provide college scholarships and university grants. Through the Ford Volunteer Corps, more than 25,000 Ford employees and dealers work on projects each year that better their communities in more than 20 countries. For more information, visit www.community.ford.com.
About the Governors Highway Safety Association
The Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA) is a nonprofit association representing the highway safety offices of states, territories, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. GHSA provides leadership and representation for the states and territories to improve traffic safety, influence national policy and enhance program management and promote best practices. Its members are appointed by their Governors to administer federal and state highway safety funds and implement state highway safety plans. Contact GHSA at 202-789-0942 or visit www.ghsa.org.

Shutdown Corner
Jets take the plunge, select Penn State QB Christian HackenbergFrank Schwab at Shutdown Corner31 mins ago
At about 8:45 p.m. Eastern time on Friday, everyone wished the NFL draft still took place in New York City.
Oh, to see the mass reaction of New York Jets fans when their team took Penn State quarterback Christian Hackenberg with the 51st overall pick.
The Jets keep collecting quarterbacks, apparently hoping one of their flawed picks hits. Geno Smith didn't work out. Apparently the Jets have already given up on Bryce Petty, who was a fourth-round pick just last year. Now they have Hackenberg, one of the most polarizing prospects in the draft.

Another Heisman winner: Titans add Alabama RB Derrick HenryFrank Schwab at Shutdown Corner1 hr ago
No truth to the rumor, after picking Derrick Henry, that the Tennessee Titans will be trying to add Johnny Manziel, Troy Smith and Tim Tebow too.
The Titans are collecting Heisman winners, grabbing 2015 Heisman Trophy recipient Derrick Henry one year after picking 2014 Heisman winner Marcus Mariota. Henry went to the Titans in the second round, with the 45th overall pick in Friday's second round.
It seemed like the Titans had found their running back earlier this offseason. They traded for DeMarco Murray in a deal with the Philadelphia Eagles. But instead of riding the highly paid Murray, they doubled down at running back and took Henry with one of the picks they gained in the blockbuster trade with the Los Angeles Rams, when the Rams obtained the first overall pick.

Cowboys make pick for the future, taking Jaylon Smith at No. 34Shalise Manza Young at Shutdown Corner1 hr ago
Is Jerry Jones back in charge of his team's draft board? It appears he might be.
The Dallas Cowboys took Ohio State running back Ezekiel Elliott at No. 4 overall in Thursday's first round, a luxury pick especially when Florida State defensive back Jalen Ramsey, who could immediately help a weak secondary, was there for the taking.
Then on Friday night, with his team picking early in the second round, Jones and the Cowboys selected a player who won't even be in uniform in 2016, and it's unknown if he'll be available in 2017.
Notre Dame linebacker Jaylon Smith was the team's pick at No. 34; Smith suffered a devastating injury on New Year's Day in the Fiesta Bowl, tearing his ACL and MCL and reportedly suffering damage to his peroneal nerve as well, which leads to a condition known as "drop foot". Not all players return from "drop foot."
Myles Jack finally comes off the board, goes to improving JaguarsFrank Schwab at Shutdown Corner1 hr ago
At least Myles Jack didn't have to wait long on Friday before he heard his name called.
The Jacksonville Jaguars ended Jack's long slide in the draft. They took the talented linebacker with the 36th overall pick.
Jack wasn't at the draft in Chicago, opting to skip it in person after sitting in the green room through the whole first round Thursday. So we don't know his reaction to the pick. It had to be an interesting one.
Former Browns QB Johnny Manziel sends out a defiant messageFrank Schwab at Shutdown Corner2 hrs ago
Johnny Manziel sent out a tweet just before the start of the second round of the NFL draft on Friday night.
And in a way, it rang true.
You guys act like what I'm doing is something new. I've been the same person, doing the same things since it all started.
Honestly, it's hard to argue. Manziel is still the same person he was long before Cleveland drafted him.
He was constantly seen out having a good time in college, while putting together an all-time great college career at Texas A&M, and he still is. The problem now is that he's unemployed, having been cut by the Browns two years after they drafted him in the first round, with practically no hope at the moment of reviving his NFL career. Manziel has said he still wants to play, though nothing this offseason really indicates he's willing to make any changes to facilitate that.

Shutdown Corner draft coverage One player hugged Roger Goodell for an uncomfortable amount of time
Laremy Tunsil doesn't want to discuss what happened during draftFrank Schwab at Shutdown Corner4 hrs ago
While the rest of the NFL world was still in shock over Laremy Tunsil's draft-day drama, the Miami Dolphins were smiling at their good fortune.
If there was any concern over Tunsil's bong video or the Instagram hack that led to the release of text messages that appear to show Tunsil asking an Ole Miss coach for money, the Dolphins never showed it during a news conference Friday. Tunsil didn't either, because he wouldn't talk about it.

Myles Jack gets good medical news, dunks ahead of NFL draftJay Busbee at Shutdown Corner6 hrs ago
We get it: you hear "NFL draft prospect" and "Twitter video" and you think the worst. But here's a case of good news captured on video.
UCLA linebacker Myles Jack slid out of the first round of the NFL draft on Thursday night, a victim of his own knee injury and skittish teams. It marked a stunning fall for a player projected as a top-10 pick or better earlier in the draft process. But the state of Jack's knee, plus his own remark earlier in the week that he could require microfracture surgery down the line, were enough to scare off every team picking in the first round.
Jack took the disappointment in stride, posting video of himself dunking on Twitter. Impressive enough on its own, but a tweet that hit a few minutes later was even more welcome, even if IT WOULD HAVE BEEN WELCOME YESTERDAY:
Dr. James Andrews, who examined Myles Jack in December, told the UCLA LB today that he does not need micro-fracture surgery.
One player hugged Roger Goodell for an uncomfortable amount of timeKevin Kaduk at Shutdown Corner6 hrs ago
It's become tradition for recently-drafted NFL players to embrace Roger Goodell while celebrating their new fortune. Whether or not they know (or care) that the commissioner will soon become their adversary is unclear; what matters is that their NFL dreams have come true so everyone looks like a friend.
Of course, not every player hugs the same way. Some opt for a handshake that turns into a simple chest bump, others go for a rocking hug that looks like the awkward end of a middle-school dance.
Then there was Florida safety Keanu Neal, who was drafted by the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night. While some might say it looks like he was waltzing with Goodell, I think it looks an awful lot like he's stopped the commissioner and is waiting for officials to deem forward progress has been halted.
Seriously, watch again as Goodell finally starts to worry about being deflated — insert Tom Brady joke! — and taps out after about 15 seconds of hugging.
Roger Goodell had an odd quote about the Laremy Tunsil videoEric Edholm at Shutdown Corner9 hrs ago
So you watched Laremy Tunsil's life unfold in real time on social media, on TV and in the green room (hack, wheeze) on Thursday night, and the NFL won because of it.
It was the most exciting, bonkers and confusing first round in recent memory. Tunsil's social media disaster was a big reason for it.

What did Roger Goodell think of all this, watching the draft unfold from his holy chambers in Draft Heights? Here's an interesting quote, via ESPN, from Goodell on Friday morning:

MSI P7N2 Diamond 790i Motherboard
The Board
Now that we have finished with the goodies you get with the board, let's have a look at the board itself. MSI goes for its usual black PCB with a different colour scheme to most 790i SLI boards. MSI has its own style and it's good to see. The PCB measures 24x30cm and is a 6 layer design as specified by the reference design, but that's where MSI finishes with reference specs.
The 24-pin power connector along with the MCP controlled IDE port get placed behind the four DDR3 memory slots that the board is equipped with. The 4/8 pin connector gets located behind the PS/2 towers, just above the Circu-pipe heatsink assembly.
The six SATA ports controlled by the MCP are stacked along the right hand edge of the board in line with the MCP in order to reduce the trace wires for better signal clarity. The FDD port is located right at the bottom of the board along the right and bottom edges, which puts it in a rather silly place if you want to use the FDD port, but how many of us still have 3.5" FDD drives?
The area around the CPU socket is extremely clean; MSI has moved all the larger components away from the socket to allow the install of large heatsinks. Our OCZ Vanquisher test heatsink fits on perfectly and we could remove it without any major obstructions. To supply the CPU with power, MSI has included an 8 phase voltage regulation system to keep even the hungriest of CPUs fed with power, especially when overclocking as stable voltage is the key.
The rear I/O ports are plentiful; the most noteworthy features on the back are the two eSATA ports powered by the JMicron onboard PCI-E SATA chip and the Clear CMOS button. If you need to do a CMOS reset, you don't have to open the case anymore.
Since the board has a bundled PCI-E sound card, there are no sound ports on the board at all, which may confuse some people at first.
Lastly we are down to the expansion slots. MSI has gone for a quad graphics card setup here; that's right, there are four PCI Express x16 slots on the board; two blue, one white and a yellow. The two blue slots are full x16 speed and are PCI-E 2.0 compliant running off the 790i SLI SPP.
The white slot is also full x16, but is only PCI-E 1.1 spec'd since the 790i SLI MCP is actually the 590i SLI MCP NVIDIA used on its AMD 590i SLI chipsets, and continues to use today. The last yellow slot is also run off the 790i SLI MCP, but runs at x8 speed which is intended for PhysX use or a slower quad SLI setup.
The two PCI-E x1 slots also run off the MCP and are 1.1 spec'd. If you want to use the sound card you can place it in one of these, or one of the PCI-E x16 slots. For legacy support, a single PCI slot is included.

This year, I asked that parishes place a special emphasis on "Evangelization and the Sunday Mass." I pray that people will grow in their understanding and appreciation of the Mass, and will reach out to "seekers" and to those Catholics who are no longer active in their faith.
Many of us have seen the statisticsthat fewer Catholics attend Mass, that there is a growing body of Americanswho identify themselves as "former Catholics," and that too many of ouryoung people describe themselves as having no religious affiliation atall. While the statistics may seem overwhelming, there is much we can doto change them: follow Jesus.

Youths come to exam-takers' aid
Church opens its doors to accommodate poor university, college hopefuls
ucanews.com reporter, Da Nang
July 4, 2011
Catholics in Hoa Khanh are providing free accommodation as well as much needed advice and services for thousands of students in town this month for entrance exams at nearby universities and colleges. As many as 59,000 candidates are reportedly taking this year's entrance examinations at the city's six universities and eight colleges on July 4-5, 8-9 and 15-16. "We worked with our parish priest, Lovers of the Holy Cross and local Catholics to find free accommodation for candidates who can't find or can't afford accommodation," said Joseph Nguyen Van Lan, head of the Catholic youth group in Hoa Khanh parish, said. Lan, 23, said over 300 candidates are currently staying in the parish church with their relatives who are accompanying them, he added. He said female candidates and their relatives are staying at a nearby convent. In the past, poor students who couldn't afford or get accommodation in boarding houses had to sleep in the open or in the church compound, he said. Local boarding houses were fully booked one week ahead of the exams, he said. "Around 30 young volunteers are taking students to local Catholic-run restaurants where they can get cheap meals," he said. Other volunteers are handing out maps and acting as guides in case any candidates have problems. Anna Le Thi Kim Anh, a Catholic student, said volunteers donated 20,000 dong (US$1) each to buy water bottles and print maps pinpointing 46 exam venues for candidates. "I want to do something useful as a way of expressing my gratitude to Sacred Heart Brothers in Hue city who gave me free accommodation at their monastery five years ago," one volunteer said. Father Marcel Doan Minh, head of Caritas in Da Nang diocese, said the Church also plans to provide free food and allow candidates to stay at the cathedral from July 6-10.

I was given some dug up 'outriders' last year from 2 clematis. They started to grow and have now died back, I hope that's due to winter. I await with interest to see what happens in spring. They're potted up, outside
I've got some on order from the HPS, I've forgotten what they are
I've resisted looking at too many catalogues, I know what happens later on. I have a good collection of germinated and waiting to germinate seeds out there already and more to sow around March. Come April a 20' x 8' GH and the area surrounding it starts to shrink and the babies are homeless
I haven't made wine for years Bob. The proportion of really good ones was low in relation to the not great and the undrinkable.
I find a lot of seeds germinate much more quickly if you save and sow them yourself. I assume they haven't gone completely dormant in that time, unlike a packet of seeds that would have to be completely dried before packeting
I've made rose hip wine. It tasted a bit too much like rose hip syrup for my taste. Maybe I put too much sugar in. A lot of home-made wine recipes are over sweet for my taste
I think that's Reseda luteola, aka weld and several other local names
No rose hip is poisonous. Some aren't very nice and some are so small they're not worth bothering with.
Have you got any clearer photos? that one enlarges to a blur for me
Have you put the seeds in the fridge with moist compost or something else?
140 days is a long time, do they come from an area that is cold for that long?
I haven't tried these so can't offer first hand advice. If they were mine I would have sown them and stood the pots outside with all the other chilling seeds. I have more success with that than with artificial chilling. I think the natural ups and downs of temperature play a part as well as the cold

My first time to use booking.com - have always used agoda.com until now. The site is fairly intuitive and easy to use. Just one suggestion - when showing hotel price options for bookings of more than one night, please show the PER NIGHT price. That makes for a much easier comparison and decision. Thank you.
Written on: 07/03/2013
Hi kurauchi,
Thanks for your lovely review and feedback.
I have passed your suggestion on to the relevant department.

Create and Extract .gz,.bz2 Files in Debian
bzip2 and bunzip2 are file compression and decompression utilities. The bzip2 and bunzip2 utilities are newer than gzip and gunzip and are not as common yet, but they are rapidly gaining popularity. The bzip2 utility is capable of greater compression ratios than gzip. Therefore, a bzip2 file can be 10-20% smaller than a gzip version of the same file. Usually, files that have been compressed by bzip2 will have a .bz2 extension.
Installing bzip2 in debian
#apt-get install bzip2
Uncompressing a bzip2 File Using bunzip2
To uncompress a bzip2 file, execute the following command:
#bunzip2 filename.txt.bz2 (where filename.txt.bz2 is the name of the file you wish to uncompress)
The result of this operation is a file called filename.txt. By default, bunzip2 will delete the filename.txt.bz2 file.

"LEDE" OpenWrt fork promises greater openness
A "Linux Embedded Development Environment" (LEDE) fork of the lightweight, router-oriented OpenWrt Linux distribution vows greater transparency and inclusiveness. Some core developers of the OpenWrt community has forked off into a Linux Embedded Development Environment (LEDE) group. LEDE is billed as both a "reboot" and "spinoff" of the lightweight, router-focused distribution that aims to build an open source embedded Linux distro that "makes it easy for developers, system administrators or other Linux enthusiasts to build and customize software for embedded devices, especially wireless routers."

Liverpool striker Luis Suarez was in action for his country on Wednesday night as Uruguay lost 3-1 to World and European champions Spain.
While he may not have been quite as influential as he's been for the Reds this season, Suarez still saw plenty of the ball and even when things didn't go his way, the 26-year-old refused to give up and showed the tenacity we see from him week-in week -out in the Premier League.

Featured Artist - Sangita Phadke
05/03/2012 - By A.J. Perna
Sangita Phadke: Pure Pastel
When first encountering the amazing works of self-taught, Colts Neck artist Sangita Phadke, it can be very easy to mistake them for photographs. Her paintings are dramatic and detailed, colorful and vibrant, and created with nothing but pure pastel. Phadke began her professional art career in 2007 after a discussion with her husband. At the time, she was working in consulting and finance, and when asked by her husband what she would most like to be doing for a living, she replied, painting. She had always been a talented artist, but had never seriously considered it to be a possible career. Then, why dont you just do it? was his response. It was not long before she was gaining attention from private collectors and winning awards at art shows. In 2010, only three short years after Phadke took the plunge as a professional artist, she was inducted into the International Association of Pastel Societies Master Circle, and was awarded the distinction of Master Pastelist by the Pastel Society of America a year later.
When first embarking on her artistic journey, Phadke gravitated toward colored pencils. With them, she explored her love of color and produced a level of realism that spoke to her personal desire for order, precision, and attention to detail in her completed work. But Phadke would soon discover pastels during a trip to a local arts and crafts store. She was enthralled with the vibrancy and richness of the colors, and knew that she could apply her recently honed skills to this medium to work in even more detail and on a larger scale.
Phadkes approach to her work is quite minimalist. She works in her uncluttered Long Branch studio with just an easel holding paper waiting to receive the soft, pastel pigments. For each piece, Phadke chooses between 10 and15 colors of pastel for her palette and hides the rest away. She uses nothing more than the pastels and her finger to blend colors. The deep complexity in each work is achieved by adding layer upon layer of color, and as many as ten full layers of pastel may be underneath the finishing touches in her paintings. Phadkes crisp lines and small details are accomplished by utilizing the corners of the pastel sticks; absolutely no pencils or pens are used. Once a piece is completed to her liking, Phadke taps the back to gently let any loose pigments fall, and then it is on to framing. No sprays or fixatives are ever applied.
Although quite adept at rendering portraits and landscapes, Phadkes efforts have been concentrated on still lifes, and her latest collection has focused on dramatically presented, larger- than-life fruits, vegetables and, sometimes, flowers. From a single, spot-lit, exotic mangosteen fruit, to a symmetrical grouping of citrus, or a simple bowl of eggs, Phadkes newest pieces are all inspired by the colors and beauty that can be found in a local farmers market or roadside fruit stand.
And, if being a well-respected, award-winning artist with pieces hanging in U.S. embassies, private collections, and fine galleries across the country isnt enough, Phadke also finds the time to teach art classes and workshops, as well as give private lessons in her studio, or via the web or phone.

Canon Creates 'Generation Green' Brand To Market Green Products
Canon has announced a new initiative, Generation Green, that combines the company's eco-friendly printer products and solutions under one corporate brand.
As part of the campaign, Canon has also announced the availability of NatureStone product packaging in select ink packs. NatureStone uses biodegradable packaging, which Canon claims reduces the need for paper and other raw materials, resulting in a 45 percent reduction in natural energy, 65 percent reduction in petroleum-based plastics, and a 50 percent reduction in carbon emissions.
Generation Green is divided into three product classification categories: Eco-Conscious, Eco-Standards and Eco-Friendly.
This past fall, Canon received ISO 14001 Certification.

"Frailty" - The Meiks brothers, twelve-year-old Fenton and nine-year-old Adam, enjoy an idyllic relationship with their father, a kind and sensitive man still recovering from the death of his beloved wife. When their father suddenly announces that he has been visited by an angel who has entrusted him with the holy mission of destroying "demons" who pose as ordinary men and women, the boy's faith in their father is tested. With an axe and a list of names believed to be from God, Fenton and Adam are forced to help their father rid the world of "evil," but can they.
