WINTER HAVEN | There's a story behind Carol G. Hughes' painting called Julie.

"The hummingbird is petite and feisty, just like a woman I know," Hughes said. "So I call that one Julie,' after her."

Hughes, of Winter Haven, is one of several artists showcasing their talents at Ridge Art Association's 3rd Annual Ridge Artisan Market, continuing through Aug. 15 at the Chain of Lakes Civic Center.

The market was designed to give artisans a forum to both share and sell their work.

Christy Hemenway, executive director of Ridge Art Association, said the market was created as a result of financial challenges.

"We wanted to open the gallery during the summer and didn't have the funding for another competition," said Hemenway, adding the summer market allowed the gallery to remain open through the season.

"RAA is a non-profit competition art gallery catering to grassroots artists mainly across Central Florida," she said, "we also draw artists from across the country."

Hughes paid $100 for the wall space at the market and a broad range of her work is on display and available for sale. She's also anticipating her art reception from 3 to 6 p.m. today.

"I paint series of angry birds and of angels, and a few landscapes," Hughes said. Her acrylic paintings range from $40 to $600.

There are fears poachers are operating in Coventry after a severed deers leg was found in woodland in Tile Hill.

The gruesome discovery was made after the limb was dragged out of the woods by a visitors dog in Tile Hill Wood nature reserve, between Hawthorn Lane and Banner Lane.

A notice from Coventry City Council has since appeared at the site urging anyone who witnesses suspicious activity to contact the police and the RSPCA.

Graham Hood, head of Streetpride and Greenspace for the council, said: Incidents of poaching in Coventry are extremely rare.

Nationally the problem has increased in recent years, but fortunately in Coventry it is not something we have suffered from.

The incident which occurred in Tile Hill Woods was reported to us by a member of the public and we have responded to that accordingly.

We have been in touch with the police and our rangers will be keeping a close eye on the woods.

In other areas of the country it has been known for poachers to butcher an animal on site and that appears to have been the case here.

We do get deer in a number of our woods, particularly Tile Hill, and we are keen to encourage them and protect them as we are any wildlife.

If anyone sees anything suspicious or is concerned that poaching may be going on in their area, then they should contact the police.

Toronto, Canada (PRWEB) July 30, 2014

Centura Tile (http://www.Centura.ca), North Americas premier distributor of both residential and commercial floor and wall fashions, is announcing three of the most prominent trends in flooring and overall interior design in Toronto.

As one of the premier tile distributors in Toronto, Centura Tile is always current and in touch with what homeowners want for their homes, says Ross Keltie, vice president of sales and marketing at Centura Tile. Its always good to know whats hot within our industry because thats generally what homeowners are going to ask for, and being able to deliver on a certain tile arrangement or carpet pattern that a customer requests is crucial to sustaining quality services.

One of the current trends is actually an old trend: retro. Keltie says to think white bathrooms; this is the type of nostalgic feel people are requesting when renovating spaces within their home. He adds that another very popular trend right now is the use of tile that resembles weathered wood, which creates both a retro feel and a classic and cozy living space.

Another trend that has become evident is homeowners becoming much more attentive to detail. Maybe its all these home improvement shows, Keltie jokes. But in all seriousness, homeowners are getting very specific with how they want everything in their house to look. Theyre confident enough now to tell us as the flooring company that they want colourful glass liners accenting white tile, but this wasnt always the case.

The final trend that is becoming popular is glamour. Keltie notes that people crave that feeling of luxury and of standing out, and can work with Centura Tile to design a glass mosaic wall that will create a glamorous, one-of-a-kind look for their bathroom.

But while its good to keep up with all the trends, being a tile distributor in Toronto means accommodating a variety of styles and tastes that reflect the many cultures of the GTA, Keltie concludes. At Centura Tile, we use our experience to meet and exceed the product and design expectations of our customers.

Centura Tile is the premier distributor of both residential and commercial floor and wall fashions throughout North America. Founded in 1933, Centura Tile has grown from a single location in Toronto to 14 locations coast-to-coast; each with a full showroom and warehousing facilities. Each Centura Tile location carries an extensive range of floor and wall products, such as ceramic tile, porcelain, mosaics, stone, vinyl, rubber, carpet, laminate, and hardwood from leading manufacturers around the world. Centura Tile also has the most complete range of accessory products to complement any installation, including bases, treads, mortar, grout, engineered cements, adhesives, trim systems, and tools.

TORONTO, CANADA - Finding misplaced keys, wallets and purses could get easier with new apps that take the guess work out of trying to remember where they might be.

Tile, an app for iPhones, can track wallets, cars and even pets with small battery-powered plastic tags that show where the lost item is on a map on the smartphone and emit a noise to locate it more easily.

"With all of the technology around us, it's still crazy to think that we still lose our things," said Nick Evans, chief executive office of Tile, based in San Mateo, California.

Using bluetooth technology the app tracks the location of the missing item within up 50 to 100 feet (15 to 30 meters). If it is lost outside the range, its last location will be displayed.

The app also uses crowdsourcing so if other Tile app users come within range of a lost item the location is updated for the owner.
