About Paige:

Born in Carmel, California Paige Bradley knew she would be an artist by the age of nine. Immersed in nature and art, Bradley’s fascination with the human figure began early. She believed that through the figure an artist could speak a universal language that is timeless and essential.

Educated at Pepperdine University, Paige spent a year in Florence, Italy with the university’s study program. There she took classes at the Florence Academy of Art which included art history. She went on to continue her education at the prestigious Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, where she studied sculpture and learned to paint and print in several different mediums.

Paige’s work is full of dichotomies: both the beautiful and the ugly, the liberated and the contained, the falling and the floating. She is always in control of form but not imprisoned by its literality. The subject matter becomes the most important — not narrowly feminist, but rather humanistic betrayals of modern emotion. Paige’s work is becoming a valuable keystone for the missing figure in contemporary art. Only in her early thirties, Paige Bradley’s talent and artistic achievements have already gained her much notoriety.

My name is Mango, I am one sweet and loving puppy! I melt my family's heart! Everyone who sees me says I look like a teddy bear. I was born with green eyes, but now they're more golden. I am super soft, and I like to get dirty. Good thing for mommy, I love the hose! Other things I love: getting my belly rubbed, sunning myself in the grass, and running! I also think it's funny to stick my nose down holes, dig, and eat bugs. My mommy isn't ever too pleased with those though. It sure does make her laugh though! I am barely four months old but I can do lots of tricks. I can crawl, sit, and give you my toy if you ask. After a full day of playing, you can find me snuggled in my papa's pillow. I am so lucky to have a big family and lots of people who love me!

Lil Bit
Candi says: Lil Bit is our pretty calico my husband surprised me with when we bought our first house. The humane society had named her "Spitfire" and we never could figure out what to call her. One day, I happened to call her Lil' Bit, and she responded. So, it stuck! She is a pretty princess diva, and will quickly tell you if you fall out of line. Our Siamese cat, Oreo, took to her right away. Years later and I still find them curled up together :)

Numerous gullies that have formed along the southwestern wall of an elongated shaped pit are visible in this image. This pit is located within a degraded 100 kilometer impact crater in the southern polar region of Mars. Gullies originate along the rubbly, bouldery upper wall region and have eroded into the numerous layered wall units before terminating in fan deposits on the pit floor. A previous HiRISE image of this location taken during the spring showed frost and interesting dark-toned flows within the gully channels. Neither frost nor dark flows are apparent in this summer-time image. One goal of HiRISE is to repeat observations at locations such as this to detect changes that may lead to understanding how these gullies form. Written by: Ginny Gulick

It's the dim star, not the bright one, near the center of NGC 3132 that created this odd but beautiful planetary nebula. Nicknamed the Eight-Burst Nebula and the Southern Ring Nebula, the glowing gas originated in the outer layers of a star like our Sun. In this representative color picture, the hot blue pool of light seen surrounding this binary system is energized by the hot surface of the faint star. Although photographed to explore unusual symmetries, it's the asymmetries that help make this planetary nebula so intriguing. Neither the unusual shape of the surrounding cooler shell nor the structure and placements of the cool filamentary dust lanes running across NGC 3132 are well understood.
