NITRAM FUSAINS FINE ART CHARCOAL RETURNS TO THE DELIGHT OF SERIOUS ARTISTS EVERYWHERE

Leave a comment

Feb 27, 2011 – Much to the delight of serious artists everywhere, the renowned Nitram Fine Art Charcoal is returning to market. Now presented online at http://www.nitramcharcoal.com, this product’s renaissance comes strictly adhering to the methods and traditions of Nitram’s time-tested processes. Brought back by artist and entrepreneur Jerzy Niedojadlo in January of 2011, the charcoal’s return has been celebrated by professional artists the world over.

Niedojadlo’s interest in art began at an early age. With Robert Bateman as his high school art teacher, Niedojadlo’s passion and vision took full flight. As years passed, however, “business got in the way” and his aesthetic endeavours took a back seat. In recent years, the flame arose again and Niedojadlo took it upon himself to take traditional art classes at the Academy of Art in Toronto, Canada. There, he learned of Nitram (Fusains) Fine Art Charcoal and its legacy as one of the best charcoal products in the world.

It was, unfortunately, discontinued. Disappointed but not deterred, Niedojadlo elected to track down the source of the nearly mythical Nitram Fine Art Charcoal and, after several long sessions of correspondence, was able to discover that “Mr. Nitram” had moved on to other interests. Nitram Fine Art Charcoal, like Niedojadlo’s artistic endeavours so many years ago, had taken a back seat.

That’s when the idea struck Niedojadlo to take up the tradition of Nitram for himself. With more correspondence and dedication, Niedojadlo eventually headed to France and purchased the process, trademark and equipment of Nitram Fine Art Charcoal. He learned the techniques and extensively monitored the process of making the charcoal from start to finish, honing the master’s process and ensuring that the traditions stood strong.

So now, Nitram Arts Inc. and Jerzy Niedojadlo are prepared to reintroduce the beloved Nitram Fine Art Charcoal to the world. Using time-honoured methods, Nitram Charcoal is once again available.

For serious artists the world over, there is no substitute. Nitram Fine Art Charcoal has been an essential component of the artistic community for nearly 50 years, garnering rave reviews:

“We encourage our students to use only the best possible drawing materials. Nitram is the preferred charcoal of students and instructors at The Florence Academy of Art. Its quality and consistency meets the high standards we demand.”
– Daniel Graves, Founder/Director The Florence Academy of Art

“Nitram has always stood out with its unique balance of crispness and suppleness that is unmistakable. Nitram quite simply is the finest.”
– Harvey Nelson, Co-director/Co-founder Academy of Art Canada

“Nitram Charcoal has been my drawing medium of choice for many years. The use of a high quality art materials allows me to focus on my artistic expression rather than the tools themselves.”
– Juliette Aristides, Author of “A Contemporary Guide to Traditional Studio Practice”

Featuring Nitram Académie Fusains B (soft), Nitram Académie Fusains HB (medium) and Nitram Académie Fusains H (hard), Nitram Arts Inc. makes available the essential variety of high-quality charcoal. The charcoal is currently available at NitramCharcoal.com in packages of five batons.

Watchers of the Rainbow Covenant – New Sci-Fi Thriller-Mystery Novel

Leave a comment

New Author Derrick G. Lindsey’s novel Watchers of the Rainbow Covenant confronts paranormal phenomena and science with Biblical scripture. One of the great anomalies of our modern time, is that atheists attack the Bible as being full of “ignorance” and a tool written by ignorant men “to enslave” those who believe. This could not be further from the truth. Even if you don’t believe in divine inspiration, the writers were the greatest minds of their time. The greatest philosophers, statesmen, planners, organizers, military leaders, and “yes” even scientist of their day. Theirs was cutting edge thinking in a constantly changing world of demagogies, wars, famines, and new scientific discoveries. Much like the world we live in today.

Derrick G. Lindsey explodes onto the literary scene with a compelling, fast paced and suspenseful novel set in a dynamic future. What is truly fascinating is how it confronts cutting edge theories of today on the creation of the universe with the Biblical accounts of creation.

The story is a step by step mystery that evolves, but the science is what is ground breaking. A true fusion of the two trains of thought (Religion and Science) which actually are very complementary to each other.

Paranormal phenomena folklore dating back thousands of years, and presented in theories and in the media today are brought face to face with the ageless text of the Bible.

Watchers of the Rainbow Covenant is a joy ride on a fast plane into a world 200 years from today. One need not be a Biblical scholar or a science fan of the latest theories to enjoy it. One merely has to love science fiction and you will love this novel.

Derrick G. Lindsey is a Computer Science Engineer who has worked for various NASA projects in his career, most notably the U.S. Space Shuttle.

Pinflap Live! — Feb 26 8.30-10pm @ Dunn Bros Coffee House, Beltline Road Addison, TX

Leave a comment

The patrons glanced up at the musician from behind their laptop screens drawn from their cyber worlds by the unique acoustic songs which permeated the Texas coffee shop.

Their glances to the musician, their smiles and loud cheers at the end of each song indicating they were enjoying the performance. Such is the ambience of a coffee shop audience as they work on their laptops while enjoying the live music.

The singer/songwriter that night was Pinflap (Gregory Wooldridge) from Dallas Texas, who’s first CD Pinflap 2 is a current hit with international radio audiences.

By popular request, pinflap will return to Dunn Bros Coffee House, Addison Texas on Saturday night, Feb 26 to share more of his unique acoustic songs.

Wooldridge has been writing music for about 28 years. At the age of 21, he brought a used acoustic guitar and taught himself how to play. Three months later he was in a band and playing bass.

As a former member of several successful bands in the 80s and 90s, including the Cadillac Cowboys, he then went on to carve out a solo career as a singer/songwriter and an acoustic guitarist performing under the name Pinflap.

Pinflap credits Lindsey Buckingham, James Taylor and Ian Anderson, as musicians who inspired his career. One amazing fact about Pinflap is that he never uses a pick, ever! His unique acoustic style sounds simplistic but yet it is complex if not impossible to emulate.

In an industry often permeated with mixers and voice synthesizers it is refreshing to hear the raw talent of a singer/songwriter acoustic guitarist who sounds as good live as he does on his 2010 released album, Pinflap 2. But don’t take my word for it check him out yourself at Dunn Bros Coffee, Addison from 8.30pm on Feb 26.

On release of the single Michelle Branch sent a message to Pinflap ‘‘ Wow! I don’t think I’ve ever had anyone write a song for me. Thank you! Sounds great’

Pinflap 2 his self titled CD is still available at all major e-retailers.

Supporting artist for Pinflap at Dunn Bros will be Buck Morgan who was inspired by John Prine, Kris Kristofferson and Bruce Springsteen and is drawn to singers/songwriters who tell a story, share an adventure and introduce you to a character.

‘I’d like to write a pop song some day. I’m still on my first hundred songs, and the songs are all so close to me. They’re literally family.’ Said Morgan.

President of Dallas Songwriters Assoc, Morgan always been a writer, first in newspapers, and later in public relations and is respected amongst his peers for his support of local musicians.

Hopeful Stories of Cancer Survivors Meant to Inspire

Leave a comment

Book Sales to Benefit Fund that Makes Children Smile

Valley View, OH, February 16, 2011 — Motivated by a four-year-old relative who lost his battle to an aggressive brain tumor 20 years ago, lifelong salesman John Voso Jr. recently released a book he says is about “hope.”

Today’s Heroes, Surviving with Style, a compilation of stories from 23 cancer survivors, is meant to inspire people, said Voso, a Cleveland, Ohio native whose family was profoundly affected by the death of his nephew, Richie White, in 1991. Voso and his family continue to help others dealing with medical battles through the Richie White Pediatric Family Fund at the Cleveland Clinic, which will benefit from sales of Today’s Heroes. Voso said the mission of the Richie White fund is “Making Children Smile.” Each year, the fund pays for a summer picnic and Christmas party that bring great joy to families enduring the pain of sickness, the author said.

A former professional bowler who grew up in Cleveland’s working-class Collinwood neighborhood, Voso always wanted to write a book. Emotionally stirred by the many people he has met through the Richie White sponsored events, he decided to share the struggles and triumphs of cancer survivors. “It’s their story more than my story,” he said when describing Today’s Heroes. The people featured in the book range in age from 14 to 84 and live in several American states, including Ohio, Florida, Hawaii, Minnesota and Washington. Voso interviewed most of them and wrote their stories, but a few of the chapters are first-person accounts, he said. The author borrowed the “Surviving with Style” tag line from ovarian cancer survivor Sheryl Stanowick, who developed Cancer Survivors with Style, a line of comfort products for chemotherapy patients.

An alumnus of St. Joseph High School, Voso is a senior vice president and agency relations manager at Old Republic National Title Insurance Co. He lives in Sagamore Hills, Ohio with his wife, Debbie, and has three children Angela, 24, John, 21, and Deanna, 16. He continues to bowl in a men’s league and is compiling an Italian cookbook featuring his favorite dishes that he plans to publish in the future.

Palm Reading Guides – Can You Really Learn How To Read Palms?

Leave a comment

For thousands and thousands of years, palm reading has been a part of many people’s lives. People in all walks of life, going back thousands of years have taken to reading palms and palm lines to predict the future, make sense of the past and make thoughts clearer in the present. But, when it comes to palm reading, is it actually possible to learn how to read palms from a Palm Reading Guide?

The most obvious thing about palm reading is the lines on the hand. The lines on ones hand is what you are actually meant to read. They are split into four major lines which are specifically known as the heart line, the life line, the head line and finally the fate line.

Each line is meant to tell you different things, and the reader will analyse each line carefully. The shape, the length and the curve all mean different things and when analysed, all tell a different story!

Now, when it comes to each separate line, as mentioned already, they all have a different meaning. Starting with the head line, this line when analysed is supposed to depict intelligence, including beliefs and philosophys as well. Depending on how the line cureves, and the length, obviously depends on the finer details.

The life line is all about your life, from how are life is going to turn out, to the length of it too. The heart line is all about love and relationships. This can also be known as the “Marriage Line” too. Finally, the fate line depicts fate, destiny and luck. Each line makes up a different meaning of life.

When it comes to a palm reading guide and whether it is possible to actually learn How To Read Palms. This does seem to be a real possibility for anyone actually looking to learn how to read peoples palms.

After all, once you know what each line means, practice, research and more practice will help you to analyse lines more deeply, and with the right guidance, it seems that it is possible for one to learn and practice palm reading like the professionals.

It would probably be a good idea to actually acquire a palm reading guide for beginners, if of course, you are only just starting out. Having a beginners guide can help you to learn the basics and get a hold of the palm reading language before practicing on yourself, friends, family and others.
