AusTex Oil Ltd. Delivers 75% Increase in Production for June

AusTex Oil updates their well development program.

Australia (Sharewellnewswire) July 31, 2012 - United States focused oil & gas producer AusTex Oil Limited(ASX: AOK, OTCQX: ATXDY) is pleased to report oil and gas production rates for the month of June 2012.  

Production for the month of June increased to 299 BOE/d, a 75% increase on the prior month. The increase was due largely to the contribution from the Balder #1 horizontal well, in which AusTex participated with Range Resources Inc. (NYSE: RRC). Improved production from the Company’s producing vertical wells also contributed. 

 

Month	Total Production BOE	Average Daily Production
January	6,698	216
February	4,320	149
March	5,385	175
April	4985	166
May	5300	170
June	8980	299

 

AusTex is confident that production will stabilize at current levels for the next month until new wells at the 5,500 acre Snake River Project come on stream. There are currently six vertical production wells under various stages of development with two wells now undergoing production testing. 

 

Executive Chairman Mr Richard Adrey commented: “We are pleased to confirm production levels for June set a new benchmark for AusTex. We are confident that with our active well development program, the Company will continue to increase production as new wells are transitioned from development to production. 

With six wells in various stages of completion and development, production levels are expected to increase in the coming months. We are also progressing with our program of drilling two new production wells at the Snake River Project each month which underpins future production increases.”

AID STILL REQUIRED, LOVA TEA, and VARIETY MAGAZINE are throwing a party:‘THE BIG EASY JUKE JOINT’

Husband and wife team, Hunter and Andrea Herz Payne, founders Santa Monica-based non-profit AID STILL REQUIRED, have many causes - but one at the moment is turning their sights to the South...because New Orleans Still Requires Aid.

Los Angeles, CA (Sharewellnewswire) July 31, 2012 -  They’re at it again; husband and wife team, Hunter and Andrea Herz Payne, founders Santa Monica-based non-profit AID STILL REQUIRED, have many causes - but one at the moment is turning their sights to the South.The Paynes, along with their high profile/celebrity supporters, are focusing on New Orleans this summer. Along with LOVA Tea, media partner VARIETY Magazine, and a host committee including Maroon 5, Randy Newman, Tim McGraw, Chris Noth and Alcon Entertainment, they are hosting the BIG EASY JUKE JOINT at Bugatta Restaurant on August 22nd. 

It’s been seven years since Hurricane Katrina ravaged The Big Easy, and while most adjacent areas have made strides towards recovery, the Lower Ninth Ward remains mostly a flat, grassy wasteland. Before Katrina the Lower Ninth was an area chock full of vibrant neighborhoods. Despite being largely forsaken, there are glimmers of hope shining - people who are committed to rebuilding,including the children of the Dr King Charter School who tend to The Garden of Eatin’, a symbol of hope and growth.

“AID STILL REQUIRED’s mission is to come in as the second responders, helping folks find effective, lasting ways to rehabilitate their lives and land,” says Ms. Herz Payne. “That’s the inspiration for the BIG EASY JUKE JOINT – bringing awareness to the present need and raising funds to expand and develop this great program at the Dr King School, all while giving Juke Joint attendees a taste of the fabulous culture of New Orleans.”

Stephanie Cence, co-founder of LOVA Tea, added, "Knowing I can assist in improving the lives of those living in forgotten areas of devastation inspired me to get involved with AID STILL REQUIRED. I hope this fundraiser encourages others to help those who are still in desperate need!" 

The BIG EASY JUKE JOINT will not be your typical Hollywood cocktail fundraiser. As Bugatta transforms into a magical southern style speakeasy, the gala will feature all the sultry, down home essence that gives New Orleans its well-deserved reputation.

To purchase tickets to The BIG EAST JUKE JOINT or donate to the cause, please visitwww.aidstillrequired.org/thebigeasy 

The BIG EASY JUKE JOINT kicks off on August 22nd at 6:30 pm at Bugatta Restaurant & Bar, 7174 Melrose Avenue. Overstreets New Orleans Jazz Band will keep the rock and sway going until 10 pm.

Historic Marilyn Monroe ''Red Velvet'' Photographic Color Separations Put Up for Sale

A Las Vegas art collector and owner of the original, one-of-a-kind color separations used to produce the iconic "Golden Dreams" calendars from the famous 1949 Marilyn Monroe "Red Velvet" photo shoot, is offering them for sale.

Las Vegas, Nevada (Sharewellnewswire) July 26, 2012 - A Las Vegas art collector and owner of the original, one-of-a-kind color separations used to produce the iconic "Golden Dreams" calendars from the famous 1949 Marilyn Monroe "Red Velvet" photo shoot, is offering them for sale. These color separations were originally created and owned by the John Baumgarth Company and were discovered as part of a corporate art collection in 2010. The collection is in pristine condition and archivally preserved and presented. 

The most glamorous icon of the 20th Century was captured for all time in a moment of youthful, exuberant sensuality - an unforgettable image that, more than 60 years later, communicates freshness. To reproduce the refined features, supple texture and luxurious tones that were so totally Marilyn, print artisans painstakingly created and corrected the many layers of film needed for the full color printing process to make the original Chromalin color proof - a masterpiece of printer's art.

 

The Kodachrome photograph and twenty-one large format color separations (16'' x 33'') offered for sale were used by Baumgarth to create the iconic image of Marilyn Monroe featured in the first "Golden Dreams" calendar produced in 1951, before the identity of the blonde bombshell posing for the photos was known (the model wasn't identified as Marilyn until 1952), and which went on to sell over eight million copies worldwide, making Marilyn the best-selling calendar girl of all time.

 

 

The collection also includes the "Lure of Lace" and "Entrancing" images that featured Marilyn wearing negligees in order to comply with U.S. postal regulations banning the transport of nude images.

 

The Kodachrome photograph is framed and the color separations are mounted and protected in OP3 museum-quality acrylic frames so that they may be appreciated, when artfully suspended, from both sides. These are the original separations used to produce the large format calendars and the only known surviving examples, which are documented to have changed hands through a series of corporate acquisitions spanning several decades.

 

When Marilyn showed up to do the calendar shoot at Tom Kelley's studio on Friday, May 27, 1949, her need was dire and immediate; her contracts with 20th Century Fox and Columbia had not been renewed and she was out of work.  The photo shoot was commissioned by Baumgarth, who paid Kelley $500 for the publication rights.

 

It has been reported that Marilyn received $50, which was exactly what she needed to get back her car that had been impounded. Marilyn only agreed to do the shoot if Kelley's wife Natalie was present. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Only two of the 24 images taken during the shoot, entitled by Baumgarth "A New Wrinkle" and "Golden Dreams," survived and made it to print, with the others mysteriously stolen from Kelley's studio. "A New Wrinkle" graced one Baumgarth calendar, but the picture that captured a nation's imagination was "Golden Dreams." 

Neither the photographer nor the 22-year-old blonde actress and model could have realized what an historic moment they were creating. In her contract with Kelley, the starlet signed under the pseudonym Mona Monroe (right). When her movie studio, 20th Century-Fox, first learned that the nude pinup hanging in gas stations from coast to coast was none other than its rising star, it was something of a scandal. The press assailed her with questions. Was it true she had posed with "nothing on"?

 

The studio's initial reaction was to deny everything.  Studios such as 20th Century-Fox had stringent moral clauses in their contracts that were designed to intimidate actors and actresses. No celebrity had ever posed nude and then had the pictures distributed to a startled nation. Biographers agree that Marilyn was instrumental in persuading the studio that their natural inclination to deny the whole thing was the wrong way to go. Instead, Marilyn used an upcoming interview with Aline Mosby, a reporter with United Press International, to break the story on March 13, 1952:

 

 

"A photograph of a beautiful nude blonde on a 1952 calendar is hanging in garages and barbershops all over the nation today.  Marilyn Monroe admitted today that the beauty is she. She posed, stretched out on rumpled red velvet for the artistic photo 3 years ago because "I was broke and needed the money. Oh, the calendar's hanging in garages all over town," said Marilyn.  "Why deny it? You can get one any place.  Besides, I'm not ashamed of it.  I've done nothing wrong."

 

The story ended up being picked up by every wire service and circulated around the world. The reaction was swift and immediate national forgiveness. Not only that, but the sensation of the pictures, her interview and all of the related controversy made Marilyn an even bigger star.

 

In December 1953, an astute young publisher named Hugh Hefner bought the rights from Baumgarth to reproduce the "Golden Dreams" image as the first "Sweetheart of the Month," in the now historic inaugural issue of Playboy magazine. The success of that first issue enabled Hefner to continue producing the magazine and ultimately build his Playboy Empire.

In addition to the Red Velvet Collection, many of the original paintings in the Messenger Art Collection are being offered for sale. Visit the website www.messengerartcollection.com and click on Masterpieces for Sale.

New best selling diet book aspires people to jump off the treadmill and into the hot tub!

The sensational best seller diet book urges people to jump off the treadmill, into the hot tub!Bridget Praytor had taken every diet pill and almost worked herself to a gym-bound early grave in order to fit in with society's accepted female 'mold'. Following an epiphany moment in a hot tub, Praytor is proving that mind over matter can quickly turn insecurity into pride.

SharewellNewswire.com  July 25,2012 -  Bridget Praytor had taken every diet pill and almost worked herself to a gym-bound early grave in order to fit in with society's accepted female 'mold'. Following an epiphany moment in a hot tub, Praytor is proving that mind over matter can quickly turn insecurity into pride.

Like millions of women around the world, Bridget Praytor was lazy, fat and miserable; or so society made her think. With the alluring promises of a perfect body from a supermarket-checkout magazine, to the box of diet pills that would make her ten pounds lighter by Saturday, Praytor knew that the world expected more of her.

Bridget discovered her thought process was the 'magic pill' to great health, beauty and happiness. She now bares all in her new book, 'The Hot Tub Diet'. The book is being received around the world with critical acclaim.

Let's make one thing very clear - it isn't a book geared toward the health industry. The Hot Tub Diet is geared exclusively toward the 'regular' person who is tired of society making them feet overweight and depressed.

 

"I was quite literally torturing myself just to be the woman society pressured me to be, even though none of the fads were working" says Praytor, who went as far as running a marathon without training for it and even training three hours a day for an Ironman just to lose weight.

 

She continues, "I was then rear-ended by a distracted driver and was summoned to the gym's hot tub during my recovery. While reflecting on my life and my ability to unsuccessfully try every weight-loss shake ever made, I came to realize that the phrase 'mind over matter' was more truthful in its claim than any fad diet ever could be."

 

What ensued was quite literally life-changing. By adjusting her mindset about her body, her weight, her goals and the real meaning of 'healthy', Praytor noticed her body starting to change for the better, with the pounds melting away.

 

As both Praytor and readers all over the world agree, the book is a vital addition to anyone's life.

 

"This book contains knowledge I wish someone would have told me. The Hot Tub Diet is a book for anyone who is tired of diets that don't work, tired of punishing exercises, tired of buying shoes because only accessories "look cute" on you, and tired of feeling bad about yourself--and anyone who is ready to change your mindset, feel confident, and finally have a body you love" she adds.

 

"This book is great to keep you motivated. In a light hearted way it helps you see why you have been failing to keeping to your goal of losing weight. The recap in the last few pages would make a great poster. In fact I am going to make one and hang it on my bedroom door" says one reader from the Philippines.

 

In all, Praytor hopes her book throws up the answers that profit-driven fads fail to provide.

 

 "It's about taking time for yourself, getting off the treadmill of life, and really evaluating your thought process and why you do what you do. I want people to realize that their thoughts heavily contribute to their weight and that they should think in a more positive way in order to change their health and the way they look" she concludes.

 

The Hot Tub Diet is available now from Amazon in both paperback and ebook formats (click links to purchase).
