Amateur Photographers Create Professional Paintings During National Hobby Month

Amateur Photographers Create Professional Paintings During National Hobby Month

New York, NY (PRWEB) January 3, 2007

Brilliant Image, the digital painting experts, are proud to announce a new service: MyLife…MyArt, which lets amateur photographers turn their favorite pictures into professional quality, decorative paintings to display at home and office.

With as many as 65 million digital cameras snapping holiday pictures last month, people are looking for new ways remember and share these special moments. Some people store them on computers and some produce prints to put on their desks. Enlarging images photographically to hang on walls has been an expensive proposition, which is why people rarely do it. Using digital technology, however, Brilliant Image produces vibrant, photorealistic paintings at very reasonable prices.

Brilliant Image’s process is as easy as 1-2-3. Upload the high-resolution image at http://www.brilliantimage.com or mail the photo to Brilliant Image. Select a painting size (up to 40 x 60 inches) and chose a decorative, solid-wood frame that highlights the painting and complements the room’s décor. Place the order and within two weeks, you receive a beautiful decorative painting to share with family and friends.

“If the original picture isn’t perfect, don’t worry,” said Jerry Cahn, Ph.D., J.D., Brilliant Image’s president. “Our team of digital experts review all images and enhances them as needed. There’s no charge for basic editing, like removing red-eye and enhancing the contrast between the subject and the background. More complex artistic effects are also available, such as creating collages or major photo-retouching. Our bottom-line is that each Brilliant Image painting should be as good as, if not better than, the original image.”

In recognition of “National Hobby Month”, Brilliant Image is offering free ground shipping for all paintings ordered by amateur photographers during January. For more information, visit http://www.brilliantimage.com.

New Book Helps Readers Prepare for Natural Disasters and Other Emergencies – Learn What to do Before, During, & After; From Tsunamis and Earthquakes to Tornadoes and Hurricanes, From Floods to Landslides and Much More – A Must Read for Every Household Member

Baltimore, MD (PRWEB) January 3, 2005

With the loss of lives and property that often result from Natural Disasters such as Tsunamis, as well as Man-Made disasters both here in the United States and most recently, in several countries of Asia and Africa, citizens are becoming increasingly interested in avenues to safeguard their lives and property. Unfortunately, many remain totally unaware of the things they can do today to protect themselves, their families and their property.

Natural Disasters and Other Emergencies, What You Should Know: A Family Planning & Survival Guide edited by Gladson I. Nwanna, takes the anxiety and fear out of preparing for natural disasters by describing the nature and characteristics of these disasters, and listing measures and strategies that citizens can employ to manage and minimize the risks posed by these disasters. On pages 105-108 of Chapter 2, for example, Dr. Nwanna discusses TSUNAMIS, including what could be done BEFORE, DURING & AFTER.

Natural Disasters and Other Emergencies, What You Should Know… provides a comprehensive listing and information on every type of major natural disaster as well as many man-made and technological emergencies. The natural disasters profiled in the book include tsunamis, earthquakes, floods and flashfloods, heat waves, hurricanes, landslides and mudflows, thunderstorms and lightning, tornadoes, volcanoes, wildfires, wildland fires and winter storms. Man-made and technological emergencies covered in the book include biological and chemical agent disasters, hazardous materials accidents, home fires, housing & building fires, nuclear power plant emergencies, radiological emergencies, rolling blackouts and terrorism. For each disaster or emergency, information is provided on what they are and what families can do BEFORE, DURING and AFTER to minimize loss of lives and/or property. Practically every known natural disaster, including those common to other regions of the world, is profiled.

In addition, Natural Disasters and Other Emergencies, What You Should Know… also provides sources for additional information for various disasters and emergencies, including sources for financial and non-financial assistance to victims of these disasters

Information conveyed in this book should help relieve some of the anxiety that comes with dealing with natural disasters and other emergencies whether before, during or after.

Natural Disasters and Other Emergencies, What You Should Know… will be useful to citizens of every age, region and country.

Gladson I. Nwanna, Ph.D., a university professor and former consultant to the World Bank is also the editor of “Weapons of Mass Destruction, What You Should Know: A Citizen’s Guide To Biological, Chemical and Nuclear Agents & Weapons” and “Natural Disasters and Other Emergencies, What You Should Know: A Family Planning & Survival Guide” which are published by Frontline Publishers, http://www.frontlinepublishers.com . They are also available at Amazon.com , through major bookstores nationwide or directly from the publisher at 410-922-4903. Retail Price, $ 29.99, ISBN #: 1890605-15-8; 250 pages.

About GREENHOUSE

In 2008 New York City nightlife literally went green, with GREENHOUSE, an eco-friendly nightlife destination that celebrates nature as the ultimate playground. The space is built from recycled/recyclable materials and Greenhouse is the first nightclub that went the extra mile to apply for a L.E.E.D certification — the standard that is awarded for developing environmentally friendly or “green” buildings. The launch event for the Greenhouse concept took place at Paris’ uber-chic venue Le Baron during Fashion Week in September 2007. Greenhouse also brought it’s eco-friendly idea to the 2008 Sundance Film Festival, which featured the official premiere party for U2’s highly regarded 3D film, as well as the 2008 Cannes Film Festival, at which Prince Albert II of Monaco hosted a star-studded event benefiting his charity foundation and the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival where Greenhouse hosted the likes of Benicio del Toro, Steven Soderbergh, Evangeline Lilly and the North American Premiere Party of “Valentino: The Last Great Emperor”. Greenhouse established a satellite location at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival which featured events such as the premiere party for “Brooklyn’s Finest” starring Richard Gere and Wesley Snipes and an IFC Breakfast with Steven Soderbergh. Most recently, Greenhouse returned to the Toronto International Film Festival in 2009 hosting the official after-party for “Get Low” starring Bill Murray, Robert Duvall and Lucas Black as well as an exclusive event for “Solitary Man” featuring Michael Douglas, Susan Sarandon and Danny Devito. http://www.greenhouseusa.com

Keep Outdoor Parties Pest Free During July 4 Holiday

Memphis, Tenn. (Vocus) July 2, 2010

Homeowners will seek independence from backyard pests at cookouts, pool parties and other outdoor activities during the July 4 weekend. To keep pests from ruining your holiday festivities, take the following steps from the experts at Terminix.

Ants – Whether you’re serving hamburgers, hot dogs or ice cream, ants are attracted to just about anything that humans eat. Ants are the No. 1 nuisance pest in the United States but can be kept off the guest list by following these simple tips:

1.    Immediately clean drink and food spills.

2.    Take dirty plates and utensils indoors after eating.

3.    Sweep entertainment areas after meals to eliminate remaining food particles.

Yellowjackets – The yellowjacket’s sweet tooth, coupled with its aggressive nature, can spell trouble for some outdoor activities. Unlike some stinging insects, yellowjackets and other wasps do not lose their stinger when attacking, meaning they can repeatedly sting their victims. While attacks are rarely life threatening, they can be a major concern for those who are allergic to insect stings. To keep these pests away, take these steps:

1.    Keep fruits covered at all times.

2.    Serve juices in pitchers with sealed lids.

3.    Throw away all trash in lid-sealed containers.

Flies – Flies keep your guests swatting and shooing, ruining even well-planned parties. These flying pests often breed in and live in garbage, animal manure and other waste and can spread diseases to humans when landing on food. Use these tips to help keep flies at bay:

1.    Use fans to create a light breeze across a table.

2.    Serve food in containers with removable lids.

3.    Locate trash receptacles as far from you and your guests as possible.

Mosquitoes – These bloodthirsty pests make outdoor events miserable. Mosquitoes can breed in only a few tablespoons of water, and they usually do not travel far from their original breeding site. Mosquitoes are a health threat, as they are known to transmit multiple forms of encephalitis, most notably the West Nile virus. Take these steps to minimize the presence of mosquitoes:

1. Empty birdbaths and unused containers at least once a week to eliminate breeding grounds in your own backyard.

2. Keep gutters clean so water does not accumulate. Any water that stands for seven days or longer could become a breeding area for mosquitoes.

Fragrances – Remove scented candles from the entertainment area. These might attract flying insects that mistake the scent for fruit or flowers.

Lighting – Many flying insects are attracted to light. To maintain the mood you want while keeping pests as far away as possible, consider lighting the eating, cooking and social areas from a distance.

These simple steps will limit opportunities for pests, but only a professional pest control company can eliminate insects from a home.
