The Most Talked About Business Moves of 2012
Zynga's Dying Breaths
You know what they say: it's all fun and games until somebody loses $53 million in one quarter. At Zynga--until recently a favored Facebook friend--the stock is down. Advertising is down. Innovation is down. (EA, which sued Zynga for copyright infringement, is just the largest firm complaining that Farmville's parent doesn't grow its own.) Last month, the company shed 5% of its workforce; more than a dozen key executives had already beat a retreat. For investors who bought into the lackluster IPO last December, it's been a long year of disillusionment. To non-gamers, the decline of a business selling virtual objects for real cash might seem like the restoration of sanity.

With the heavy emphasis on productivity in many management circles, an understanding of it is essential for management analysts. Productivity in its strict sense is defined as output divided by input. If output increases while input stays constant, the ratio increases and productivity increases. Conversely, if input increases and output stays the same, the ratio decreases and productivity declines. The productivity ratio, of course, can also be affected by simultaneous changes to both input and output. To measure productivity, of course, it is necessary to quantify both inputs and outputs. In a classic production environment, where countable outputs, such as widgets, are produced and reflect the true productivity of the organization, the basic model holds up relatively well. In most real-world organizations, however, where inputs and outputs may not be particularly obvious or may be more difficult to measure, assessing productivity may be more complex than is suggested above. This provides the perfect opportunity for the analyst who understands productivity to define, analyze, and model the inputs and outputs necessary for productivity measurement. Focusing attention on productivity, even with an imperfect model, often serves to improve it.
So, for management analysts to be really valuable to organizations today, a knowledge of some basic quantitative techniques, such as those discussed above, is essential. Analysts should be able to conduct basic cost and economic analysis, productivity and quality measurement, and statistical modeling studies. While complex issues or systems that require sophisticated analysis may require the analyst to work as middle man between the manager and the economist or statistician, the management analyst should be conversant with the terminology and concepts. The analyst who can conduct quantitative studies as well as the more general descriptive review will be in demand and will be perceived as an asset to the organization.

|Rays RHP Cobb to begin minor league rehab Tuesday
|Written by Admin
|Friday, 19 July 2013 13:32
Cobb, 6-2 with a 3.01 ERA in 13 starts, was cleared on Friday to begin his rehab after throwing 59 pitches in a four inning simulated game at Tampa Bay's spring training complex one day earlier.
Cobb was struck in the right ear by a liner from Kansas City's Eric Hosmer on June 15. He was hospitalized overnight after being carted off the field, and was bothered by vertigo for several weeks.
He began throwing bullpen sessions on July 5 and advanced to pitching to hitters in live batting practice on July 14.
Rays manager Joe Maddon said Cobb will make at least two minor league starts before returning to the majors in early August.

"This study shows still another reason to appreciate forests and another reason to not let them be permanently cleared for agriculture," said Chadwick Oliver, Pinchot Professor of Forestry and Environmental Studies, Director of the Global Institute of Sustainable Forestry at F&ES and lead author of the new study. "Forest harvest creates a temporary opening that is needed by forest species such as butterflies and some birds and deer before it regrows to large trees. But conversion to agriculture is a permanent loss of all forest biodiversity."
The manufacture of steel, concrete, and brick accounts for about 16 percent of global fossil fuel consumption. When the transport and assembly of steel, concrete, and brick products is considered, its share of fossil fuel burning is closer to 20 to 30 percent, Oliver said.
Reductions in fossil fuel consumption and carbon emissions from construction will become increasingly critical as demand for new buildings, bridges and other infrastructure is expected to surge worldwide in the coming decades with economic development in Asia, Africa, and South America, according to a previous F&ES study. And innovative construction techniques are now making wood even more effective in bridges and mid-rise apartment buildings.
According to Oliver, carefully managed harvesting also reduces the likelihood of catastrophic wildfires.
And maintaining a mix of forest habitats and densities in non-reserved forests in addition to keeping some global forests in reserves would help preserve biodiversity in ecosystems worldwide

Lansing police respond to budget cut pressure
By Current State
Police and firefighters in the city of Lansing are under pressure to make concessions to improve the city's short and long-term budget woes. Last week, a long-awaited report from the city's blue ribbon "Financial Health Team" called for a million dollars to be cut from the police department's budget.
Discussing the issue is the President of the Lansing Fraternal Order of Police---the police officers and supervisors' union---Tom Krug and from the city of Lansing, Chief Operating Officer and Director of Public Service, Chad Gamble.

I tried it and it wasn't very good and did cost a lot. If you can make your own meals you can save money and still keep it healthy.
IS THIS THE SAME NUTRISYSTEM THAT ONE SEES ON TV??? All these great looking meals, that just make your mouth water? PIZZA, ICE VREAM, HAMBURGERS? NOT MY NUTRISYSTEM!!! I got a bunch of dried ***, that needs to add water and microwave. Only started two days ago, so cannot say anything about pounds lost, but am sure I will lose weight as this stuff is inedible.
I absolutely love this plan. The food is great, portions are perfect. I love the Daily Tracker which really keeps you on the right track to reach and maintain my goal. Thank you Nutrisystem, Lisa Haney

Botulism is a rare paralytic illness caused by the toxins of the spore-forming bacterium Clostridium botulinum and toxin-producing strains of Clostridium baratii and Clostridium butyricum. Botulism, left untreated, may result in respiratory failure and death, according to background information in the article. Two botulinum toxin preparations are licensed in the United States by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for clinical use, BOTOX (crystalline toxin type A); and Myobloc/Neurobloc (toxin type B). Although botulinum toxin A is available by prescription for cosmetic and therapeutic use, no cases of botulism with detectable serum toxin have previously been attributed to cosmetic or therapeutic botulinum toxin injections. On November 27, 2004, four suspected botulism case-patients with a link to cosmetic botulinum toxin injections were reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Daniel S. Chertow, M.D., M.P.H., of the CDC, Atlanta, and colleagues investigated various aspects of the four suspected cases of botulism. They found that clinical characteristics of the four case-patients were consistent with those of naturally occurring botulism. All case-patients had been injected with a highly concentrated, unlicensed preparation of botulinum toxin A, intended for laboratory research, labeled accordingly, and not licensed or intended for human use.
Clinic staff had diluted a 100-µg vial of pure neurotoxin with diluent and drew up the resulting solution into syringes for clinical use. The physician working at the clinic administered 4 case-patients (including himself) 4 to 6 injections of this toxin solution in the facial area. Al

Judge Adams, attorney Bianchi in tight race in Aransas County after early voting
CORPUS CHRISTI - Aransas County Attorney Richard Bianchi was narrowly edging Aransas County Court-at-Law Judge William Adams in his effort to unseat the judge, according to unofficial returns from early voting.
Adams, 53, made headlines in 2011 after he was seen hitting his daughter with a belt in a YouTube video.
Bianchi was leading 1,055 votes to 898, a margin of 157 votes. Election day returns are not included in those totals.
Despite an initial wave of public outrage — including on national television — after the recording emerged in 2011, the race garnered little interest outside Aransas County.
The State Commission on Judicial Conduct, ruled that although Adams' actions weren't becoming of a judge, and he had cast doubt on his ability to be impartial, especially in family law cases, he nonetheless was a good judge.
Lawyers interviewed by the commission said he rendered fair decisions that were seldom overturned on appeal, even if they didn't always like his courtroom demeanor.
Bianchi, the county attorney, moved here in 2002, making him a relative outsider in a county where family and political connections run deep. Bianchi campaigned on his experience as a district judge in Harris County, and on restoring trust and integrity in the judgeship.
Bianchi, 62, was under pressure from Adams supporters who asked fellow Republican District Attorney Michael Welborn to seek Bianchi's removal from the county attorney post under the state's resign-to-run laws, which requires officeholders to resign when they run for another elected position. Bianchi has argued the law requires him to remain county attorney because the county Commissioners Court has not appointed a successor.
Commissioners insisted they wanted Bianchi to remain because he has done a good job and they want voters — not themselves — to determine his replacement. Adams supporters contended that commissioners were abusing their authority to manipulate the court-at-law election.
Bianchi said Welborn was doing the same. Welborn has asked a district judge to order Bianchi's removal from office. That case is pending.
Adams agreed to a yearlong suspension before he received the sanction, part of the fallout after the release of a video his then-16-year-old daughter secretly recorded in 2004, showing him lashing her with a belt and berating her with obscenities and threats.
The small percentage of the court's docket that involves allegations of physical violence against children has been transferred to another court since the sanction.
Adams, 53, hasn't had an opponent since winning the Republican primary in 2002.

Some Bee Pollen Weight Loss Products Are a Dangerous Scam

Some bee pollen products marketed for weight loss have been found to contain hidden and potentially dangerous ingredients that may be harmful.
Beware of False or Misleading Claims for Treating Autism
April is National Autism Awareness Month, a fitting time to think about the growing need for concern and awareness about autism.
One thing that is important to know up front: There is no cure for autism. So, products or treatments claiming to "cure" autism do not work as claimed. The same is true of many products claiming to "treat" autism. Some may carry significant health risks.
Can a Dietary Supplement Treat a Concussion? No
The FDA is warning consumers to avoid "dietary supplements" marketed with claims to prevent, treat, or cure concussions and other traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). The claims are not backed with scientific evidence that the products are safe or effective for such purposes.
6 Tip-offs to Rip-offs:
Don't Fall for Health Fraud Scams

Khan has always done a great job of talking himself up, but i dont see how he gets a shot at a title he didnt really prove anything by beating molina & garcia beat him very convincingly, yeah khan started fast but was getting countered and a rematch will see him knocked out again.Posted December 23, 2012 5:08 am
I don;t get this bum Khan +Sucks! You lost three times, I say two because I had you up against PED man! You was KO'd TWICE, not on points Ko'D the Ref had to stop it! Please Stop!Posted December 22, 2012 11:06 am

Quoting this writer, "So Khan is getting a title shot….'will be coming off of…'" paleeeese, quit prostituting the English language. There is no such thing as "off of" neither in oral nor in written form.Posted December 21, 2012 10:55 pm
No Largo, just plain stoopit!Posted December 21, 2012 10:48 pm
Khan will look back at his career and will be gutted that he walked out on Frank Warren.Posted December 21, 2012 10:09 pm
From Detroit
LOL Largo! That's funny.Posted December 21, 2012 7:08 pm
he is a really exciting fighter who has ridiculous hand speed, what bothers me bout him is that he gives this impression that he thinks he is in the same category with floyd, andre ward, martinez etc. He was makin his way there until he was exposed. I dont think he deserves a title shot rite away for his next fight. If he had just beaten a bigger name then maybe but cmonPosted December 21, 2012 2:55 pm
Anonymous is the default screen name on ESB; that means, if you forget to put your own name, the comment will be posted under the name ANONYMOUS…so you have to be lazy & stupid to post under such a screen name.Posted December 21, 2012 2:51 pm

I heard Khan could face Josesito Lopez next, that will be a fun fight and not an easy one for Khan at allPosted December 21, 2012 2:40 pm
Amir Khan is championship material, and if those mean men (his opponents) agree to quit hitting him hard, Amir will prove it.Posted December 21, 2012 2:33 pm
"Pitter Patter Khan" is the best welterweight in his own mind. Amir, from now on please post under your own name and not "Anonymous".Posted December 21, 2012 2:27 pm
Say what you want about Khan's chin, he is still the best welterwieght in the world. Marquez would be out hustled and out classed if they fought and Garcia won't catch Amir again. Garcia is a run of the mill fighter, who hurt a guy with a weak chin. All I know is if I were going to fight Marquez, I would be making him submit urine samples constantly because he is a cheater. As long as Khan boxes wisely nobody at 140lbs can beat him.Posted December 21, 2012 1:03 pm
I would like to see khan marquez . I honestly dont love khan but dont see all the hate for the guy .he is a gutsy action fighter with a suspect chin and whats wrong with that as a boxing fanPosted December 21, 2012 2:30 am
E in Denver
For a title leaves 2 options. One is a rematch w/ Peterson(IBF). The other is for the "regular" WBO title which I think is vacant. Rios is the #1 there. Neither are easy fights & Khan is already overlooking them. Smells like another setback if either of these two fights happen.Posted December 20, 2012 7:42 pm
He sure dosent want to fight Prescott again does he?Posted December 20, 2012 6:20 pm
what the hell is wrong with this guy? He still thinks hes an elite fighter.I bet u even though he wont come out and say it that he blames everything that has happened to him on roach. Its not like he looked that much better in his last fight. He is still there to be hit, and its not like a new trainer can fix his glass jaw. He is exciting, fast, and throws good combos but until you put some good wins together against upper level opponents he needs to stop acting like hes on mayweathers level and can call the shots.Posted December 20, 2012 4:04 pm
Agreed he's a joke he's got the hart but not the talent fast hands alone is not enough at top level. khan and golden boy are fleesing us all two defeats and a win against a light weight gets you a tittle shot…..give me a break.Posted December 20, 2012 3:58 pm
so why fight a lightweight then i hopeu get koed u fraudPosted December 20, 2012 3:16 pm

Hope everyone is enjoying running after their busy toddlers! William is keeping me on my toes these days :)
Has anyone else still not gotten their first PPAF? Will is still nursing a bunch and will be 15 mo old tomorrow. My first son was 15 mo old when I got AF back last time and he cont'd to nurse for another year. I feel crampy and moody off and on; it's been like perpetual pms for weeks now. I'm over it! I wan't to get back to normal! We also use FAM to avoid pregnancy, and all that becomes much easier once I'm regular. I feel like a 12 year old girl every morning when I pee, like, "will I get it today?!". Come on, AF, let's get this show on the road!
LOL, I remember those days of waiting impatiently for AF to come, it seemed like all my friends had it before me in junior high!
Unfortunately AF came back for me at 5 mo PP, so I canʻt relate, but I think you should enjoy it while itʻs gone! I have never been a big fan of it anyway. But it sounds like you have perpetual PMS, and that canʻt feel good either.
I got mine in May. 15 months is a nice long break! But yes, scary for birth control ;)
Hopefully you either get it or get symptom relief soon!
That hormonal roller coaster is such a nightmare! Ugh. :-( I've had mine back since 9 months pp! Hopefully your cycle doesn't keep you waiting much longer.
Lady Jennifer! So good to see you posting again! Any chance you are on Facebook? The DDC is super active over there and would love to have you join, let me know if you want to.
And if Italiamom is reading along.... join us too, WE MISS YOU!!!

Kid inventors win big with a sign in the sky
The Brain Busters, from Sherborn, Mass., invented a high-flying sign to post alerts during a natural disaster
By Bethany Brookshire, 12:32 PM June 19, 2014
If you could invent something to help people in a natural disaster, what would it be? If you're a team of six kids from Sherborn, Mass., you'd create a sign that people could see from almost anywhere in their neighborhood, just by looking into the sky. Carried by a balloon, this high-flying notification board can post important alerts so that people in areas without power can still get much-needed information.
The Sherborn team, which calls itself Brain Busters, won the FIRST LEGO League Globa...

Matt Giteau says he is up for the task of containing and testing the returning Dan Cater.
The pair, widely recognised as the best flyhalves in the game, are expected to front up in Sydney next Saturday for Australia and New Zealand respectively.
Carter has just recently returned from an Achilles injury, but isn't expected to take long to settle back into his prolific groove.
'I'm sure he will have a huge influence for them,' Giteau said. 'For whoever is the flyhalf, for me individually it is a big challenge and certainly one that I welcome, you enjoy playing the best.
'I consider him probably the best flyhalf in world rugby. It will be good to play against him, but we're just focusing on getting our first [Tri-Nations] win.
'I think South Africa has shown how important it is to win those home games, winning all three of theirs. It shows how vital it is for us to win all of our three and it starts next Saturday.'
Giteau was at the centre of debate last week after his horrific tackle on Springbok scrumhalf Fourie du Preez went unpunished in a disciplinary hearing. He was yellow carded, and says those 10 minutes were hard but not as hard as coming away empty handed from the Test.
'It was [frustrating] more just because of being sin-binned. I think that's the hardest 10 minutes of rugby I've ever had to do," Giteau said.
'I found that frustrating, to go there and train and prepare as well as we did and then not come away with the win, we were disappointed.'

Special Correspondent
NEW DELHI: The Lok Sabha Privileges Committee met here on Wednesday, but the subject of discussion was not Ambassador to the United States Ronen Sen. It was a case referred to it under the anti-defection law, a member disclosed.
Notices of privilege were moved against Mr. Sen in connection with his "headless chicken[s]" remark during an interview on the debate over the India-U.S. nuclear deal.
On October 29, Mr. Sen appeared before the Committee and offered an "unqualified" apology.
The Committee is expected to finalise its report around the time of start of the winter session of Parliament on November 15. Committee Chairman Kishore Chandra Deo said the report would be submitted to the Speaker to be placed before the Lok Sabha.

I agree with what ppe172 mentioned, but just to add - if you take off head cover you can see marks on camshaft "flange". Those supposed to line up with surface of the head when you align marks you see through that bolt/plug thingy on left case cover. So, if you want to check that your timing is PERFECT you can do it this way, if you want to be sure you just OK you can check through inspection/valve clearance adjustment opnings in head cover. If you will take head cover off you will have to use sealant to put it back (standard way for DR) and re-adjust valve clearances.
Still, I'd check fuelling and electrics first. It's way too easy even for wohever did it in the past to set valve timing right, but it is way more tricky to ensure they did not mess up electrics or that fuelling is correct.

Choosing Nut Trees for Commercial and Amateur Projects in Eastern Ontario
Prior to massive European-style agricultural development, the most productive lands in east-central Ontario were rich deciduous forests. Oaks, butternuts, beech, hickories, black walnuts, chestnuts and hazels were common and were often substantial food resources for many forest dwellers.
Wetlands in Ontario
Wetlands are lands that are saturated with water long enough to cause the soil to become waterlogged, and the growth of water-loving or water-tolerant plants to occur. Wetlands are transitional habitats, often forming the connection between aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. They can occur where the water table is at or close to the surface, in low-lying locations, or along the edges of lakes and rivers.
Promoting Wildlife Diversity
Historically, southern Ontario was covered by forests interspersed with lakes, wetlands, grasslands, and other open areas.
Cultivate Gourmet Mushrooms
Woodlot owners are familiar with the many colourful and delectable mushrooms that emerge from the forest floor after spring and autumn rains.
Climate is what you expect,
weather is what you get."
An exploration of weather events that can cause havoc with our forests, the frequency of these events in the past, and what actions a landowner can take to better prepare their forests to "weather" such events.
A Commercial Woodlot is a Farm
Few woodlot owners take advantage of operating a commercial woodlot as a farm, and each owner and their own situation is unique.
Woodlots - A Refuge for Ontario's
Native Bees
Ontario has more than 400 species of native bees. A handful of those bees are bumble bees that live in small colonies.
How to Select the Right Tree to Cut for Firewood
Ideally, all forest harvest operations would follow a prescription prepared by a registered professional forester, and the trees to be cut would be marked by a certified tree marker. These good forestry practices are intended to ensure the woodlot is managed to a high standard and is sustainable. Most forest conservation bylaws require good forestry practices for any commercial harvest operations or for operations that will reduce the tree density below a level that is required to qualify as "woodland."
Building a Case for Good Forest Management
A series of case studies were developed to profile examples of responsible long term forest management in southern Ontario. Eight landowners were interviewed to gather their financial and forest information and to summarize the history of activities on their properties. Annual revenue and costs for various products (timber, fuelwood, and maple syrup) were obtained from the landowner. A representative crop model was developed for a typical crop rotation in Ontario using corn, soybeans & wheat. The model was based on crop enterprise budgets developed by OMAF, which reflect agriculture industry average costs and returns. A Present Value calculation was used to estimate the equivalent 2010 value for revenue and costs from the woodlots and agriculture crops. This paper summarizes the results of the eight cases.

Had a saris 4 bike porter rack and is good for 2 bikes, but to get 4 on it is really tight. The freedom superclamp is heavy, but once you have it mounted and adjusted to your bikes it is really easy\quick to load. Agree with other reviews that that the lock system is small, but you can use a secondary lock system which is what I do. Bikes do not move at all. A lot of $$$ but feel better after using compared to old rack. Never wrote a review before, but thought this item was worth it.

ABI Research - High Profile Breaches Drive $1.7 Billion Data Loss Prevention Market in 2014
(ENP Newswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) ENP Newswire - 07 August 2014 Release date- 06082014 - London, United Kingdom - Cyber-attacks directed against enterprises have grown both in numbers and sophistication over the past decade to a point where breach and data theft have become inevitable.
In 2013, more than 800 million records were exposed as a result of data breach incidents. A number of organizations including online auction site eBay, U.S. retailer Target, telecom operator AT&T, and social networking sites Facebook, Gmail, YouTube, Twitter, and LinkedIn have reported massive data breaches in recent months. Hacking remains the leading cause for most attacks followed by malware and physical attacks such as point-of-sale intrusions and card skimming.
A data breach incident can have disastrous consequences on all businesses resulting in millions of dollars in lost revenue and potential fines, not to mention the lingering impact on a company's brand image and reputation. Most data breaches have a significant and measurable impact on customers' loyalty and spending habits. This has become a matter of grave concern for business managers and consequently led to the demand for solutions and services targeted at enterprise-wide data loss, protection and prevention.
ABI Research calculates that the market for Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions will hit $1.7 billion by the end of 2014. An effective data protection strategy requires solutions that protect data across databases, applications, networks, and endpoint devices and DLP solutions do just that. DLP solutions offer content-based recognition, comprehensive coverage across physical, application, and network channels and device control framework at the endpoints. 'If implemented carefully, DLP solutions can mitigate data loss risks, comply with government regulations, and protect customer privacy,' comments Monolina Sen, ABI Research's senior analyst in cybersecurity. The market is dominated by established security vendors such as Trend Micro, Symantec, McAfee, Websense, and RSA.
These findings are part of ABI Research's Cybersecurity Technologies Market Research, which includes Research Analyses, Market Data, Insights, and Competitive Assessments.

Comelec bans movement of DFA personnel, govt employees abroad
More News from Jerome Aning
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
MANILA, Philippine – The Commission on Elections has barred the movement of all officers and members of the Foreign Service Corps, including those belonging to attached agencies, starting this Monday until August 11, 2013.
The prohibition covering the movement of the foreign service personnel and other employees from government agencies who are deployed abroad was first of the several "bans" that the Comelec would be imposing in connection with next year's midterm elections.
Comelec Resolution No. 9411 said the prohibition implements Section 23 of Republic Act No. 9189 or the Overseas Absentee Voting Act of 2003, which states that "No officer or member of the foreign service corps, including those belonging to attached agencies shall be transferred, promoted, extended, recalled or otherwise moved from his current post or position one year before and three months after the day of elections, except upon approval of the Commission."
The Comelec said the Department of Foreign Affairs through the members of the foreign service corps and other government agencies holding offices at the different Philippine embassies, consulates and other establishments should again be involved in the conduct of voting, counting and canvassing of ballots cast by overseas absentee voters.
"Request for movement shall be made in writing by the authorized officials of concerned agencies stating the cause or reason for such movement and stating why said movement shall be made an exemption to the prohibition," the resolution stated.
The Comelec's committee on the overseas absentee voting is chaired by Commissioner Lucenito Tagle.

I don't know, when I look in tree crowns with my eyes it's usually a lot more dazzling than in the photograph. Anyways, still even there in the spots with blue sky behind still shines through a lot brighter than in the picture.
That leaves making the leaves and branches darker, but I can't make them that much darker than the figures underneath (though I might still get away with darkening the leaves some)

Ah - how's this? I like the colors MUCH better now! I also moved the tree line a bit to emphasize the main figure.
January 28th, 2012 #153
Here's the finished central figure (minus some line cleanup).
January 28th, 2012 #154
Hi griffman
Based on the picture you uploaded of those tree's i did a paintover. I think there is a few things you can do to improve this painting.
I think if you push the king character so that he's face doesnt merge as much with the tree it would help the narrative: I pushed his head a bit out to show you what i mean ( not that its anatomically correct but i thought it would showcase my point).
I also think you can make the boy character a bit smaller, this will make the perspective of his pointing a bit less odd, and make the drawing breath more as there is more space around him.
For colours i pushed up the green and warm tones to balance with the current very blue pallet. I also made the kings shirt much more red. Since it makes the interaction between the boy and the king stronger.
Looking at the drawing now i also think you could make the contrast on the side characters less intense, so that they become more a secondary read.
Hope any of this is helpful

Wow Bette - thanks a lot for the time you put into this. At this stage I'm not sure how much of your critique I'm ultimately going to take on board, but it's certainly food for thought.
I don't know that I want to make the boy any smaller - simply because he's the dramatic focal point of the image. You can't really see it, but I have adjusted the pointing arm and head to be a little more correct. Though making him smaller would solve another thing that's bugging me - the fact that the branches should really be over him, thus putting him in the tree shadow. But then I'd have to lower the tree line and I'm not sure I like THAT much empty blue sky. As for the bandit's head, I may give that a try. The other characters could indeed lose a bit of contrast relative to the important ones.
Your color scheme is quite different than mine, certainly, and it is very interesting to see such a contrast. On the face of it, the warm colors and extensive greens seem a little too cheerful to me. However, my biggest concern at this point is the contrast between my tablet and my wife's mac book air. The image looks very different, and I don't have a good sense of which gamut is more representative. Are you aware of any resources which can give me confidence that what I'm seeing is what most people will be seeing?
January 30th, 2012 #156
Well, it took me some time to process, but in the end it was hard to find any of Bette's suggestions that didn't seem to improve the thing quite a bit. What do you folks think? I'm still a little on the fence about making the juggler smaller. Does everyone like the changes?

Hi giffman,
The image is really coming along. I think Bette's suggestions were an improvement as well. I think making the juggler smaller, works because it relieves some of the 'cramped' feeling created by the composition. It also makes more sense in terms of lighting.
One thing that I noticed was the 'scratchy transitions' between the shapes in your painting. I realize that many areas are still rough, but I think that the resulting texture of strokes, calls attention to itself in an unappealing way. Have you tried using the color picker with a 3 by 3, or 5 by 5 average sample, instead of point sample. I find it is easier to create transitional colors between shapes this way, while keeping the texture of painted strokes. You can also soften edges easily without 'blurry' artifacts, like the smudge tool tends to create. I attached a pic to explain. Hope this helps and keep up the good work.

I think the arms of the prisoner should be more visible.
I just tried it in front of a mirror and in order for my arms to disappear like that, I'd have to break my shoulder blades to start with.
The prisoners left shoulder (our right) looks like its back side rather than the front.

I think the first one of the sketches you showed, laying it out, looks great. The original one looking over the bandits' shoulders? It draws the eye up the tree, noting the crown on a bandit's head, to the king. When it's in color, since the juggler's standing in the light (as referenced by your original sketch) it should also add emphasis to him - but it might also take away from the look up the tree. You might try some lighting effects such as a beam to accent the bandit with the crown and allow our eye to draw back there. Maybe the glint of metal?
EDIT: Bah, sorry. I didn't see the update when I was posting! I think you've achieved the effect, though LordLouis is right about the arms. You might want them bound up and in front of him. Lighting effects are still good for bringing focus, though. Even at this point.

Here's the reference for the hanging king. I worried that not showing the hands makes him look like he's hanging from the neck or something, but I guess I didn't get away with screwing up the anatomy. The pose doesn't seem popular anyway - any better ideas for him to be "tied atop a great tree as a jest"?

Detail of the face - hopefully an improvement...
August 15th, 2012 #167
the image as a whole is working well and has come a long way... big congrats and respect on/for that!
but you seem to be intimidated by more complex parts, especially faces. you manage to abstract e.g. legs, whole bodies, action, and so on quite well, but once it comes to faces, it feels heavyhanded and awkward. as i said before (and i wont bug you with that again, because i fear it comes off as preaching) your stylizations of the face dont work, because they dont read as charming/beautiful/cute/appealing, but are somehow scary.
if youre going for charming and/or cute ...do it with as little lines/details as possible. e.g. drawing the divisions between teeth, takes away the charming aspect. try to draw a beautiful women smiling, and separating each tooth... it probably wont work. take a look how charming representations of eyes and so forth are done.
ive done another op, to illustrate what i mean. take the arm for example... theres so many dimples and elevations, where it can be done with one well placed line, it ends up to be lacking design and looking malformed. youre emphasizing the wrong things there.
again... i have i lot of respect for your work and dedication, and only saying these things because i think you can take it , rock on man.

I applaud your dedication to this piece over such a prolonged period! I just wanted to throw in a quick bit of feedback that stood out for me. In your last update, we really can't see the juggler's eyes as they are heavily in shadow. He is the main focal character, we need to be able to get that read!
Keep up the good work!
August 20th, 2012 #169
Sone_One: These are some great observations, and I'm very grateful to the time you put in demonstrating them. The question of how to simplify and stylize well is a bit of a thorn in my side, it would seem. I think moving to using more photo references helped overall, but ended up pushing me towards weird inconsistencies of style unwittingly. It's a problem I need to dedicate sustained effort to solving. In my other thread I'm making some headway, I think, so I'm going to see if I can get the juggler character nailed down. After that, I'll revisit this, and apply those insights as well as yours to finishing this piece.
Monkeybread: Good point on the eyes. It's one of those things that seems to look OK zoomed in, but not so great in the normal viewing distance. I'll address this as well.

This small beauty dates from 1890-1900 and originates from the south of France.
It has a lovely urn-like shape with two quirky handles which give it quite a personality! The rich glazes produced luminescent hues of turquoise, olive green, rose pink and sienna brown. The design is done in layers, the flat portions have a small flat flower bud pattern. The raised portions feature stylized acanthus leaves with pink flowers and buds. The handles mimic tree branches and attach to two brown acanthus leaves. The interior is of the classic French majolica deep rose pink. There is a model number "670" stamped on the bottom.
The piece survives in very good condition with no noticeable chips or cracks. It measures: 6" tall, 6" wide across opening, 10" across arm to arm. The base measures 4 1/2" in diameter, the interior 5 1/4" deep.
It is a lovely example of French majolica.

Per our prior post, the SEC finalized rules under the JOBS ACT to lift the ban on general solicitation in July. Specifically, the SEC amended Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933 to add a new paragraph (c), which will permit general solicitation and advertising as long as certain conditions are met. The new rule will go effective September 23.
In July, the SEC proposed amendments to Regulation D, Form D and Rule 156 under the Securities Act that would impose advance notice filings, submission of offering materials to the SEC and certain mandatory additional disclosures. They include requiring issuers to file a notice of sale with the SEC 15 days before engaging in general solicitation and within 30 days of the conclusion of an offering. Issuers would also have to provide additional information about the issuer and the offering, such as the offered securities, the types of general solicitation used, and the methods used to verify the investor's accredited status. Failure to timely file notices for Rule 506 private or general solicitation would deny the issuer reliance on that rule for at least a year. The comment period for the proposed rules end on September 23.
The additional requirements have met stiff criticism. In a July 22 letter to White, Congressman Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.), chairman of the Financial Services Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, and Congressman Scott Garrett (R-N.J.), chairman of the Financial Services Subcommittee on Capital Markets, questioned whether the new disclosure requirements would further delay the long-awaited lifting of the general solicitation ban.
They also argued that the additional rules "unnecessarily burden private issuers by increasing regulations and disclosure requirements that effectively preserve the ban on general solicitation, violating the law's intent."
In her August 8 response, White defended the rule, maintaining that the SEC must "closely monitor and collect data on the changes to the Rule 506 market." She also clarified that issuers will be able to rely on the exemption. The additional disclosure proposals will not become effective until the SEC adopts final rules.
