Edgar Montenegro joined Strategies for Wealth in 2011 to enhance an already successful career in financial services. An award winning associate in his first year, Edgar made a transition and became a member of the management team in 2012.
Edgar's well rounded knowledge of financial services and relationships with his clients have been enhanced by his diverse background. Edgar has always maintained a keen interest in the world of finance. Having graduated from Fordham University in 1994 with a degree in Finance, an M.B.A from University of Phoenix and currently pursuing the highly regarded CFP designation from The American College, Edgar serves as a valuable resource to his clients and colleagues.
Edgar's derives his greatest satisfaction from his firm belief of "serving others before self". He dedicates time and energy to his community through the Locust Valley Rotary. He is a volunteer fireman at the Locust Valley Fire Department and is a member of a committee of Communilife and Life Is Precious in New York City.
Born in the boroughs of New York City, Edgar resides in Locust Valley with his soon to be wife, Nicole and their four children. Edgar is actively involved in their sport activities as well as his own. Occasionally, you will find Edgar taking on challenging endeavors to raise money for charity. Edgar and Nicole recently completed their first half-marathon in January 2013 and raised money for Autism Speaks and the A-T Children's Project.
The "2013 TOP 25 ADVOCATES FOR LATINO EMPOWERMENT" AWARDS RECEPTION takes place on Tuesday, May 7, 2013, 6pm to 8pm, at the Westbury Manor. To register or for more information, call Tracey Gittere at (516) 222-0550 or firstname.lastname@example.com; or Maria Morales-Prieto at (516)319-9576.
A portion of the proceeds support the Hemsptead Hispanic Civic Association's important programs and services!
Founded in 1992 by members of the Mineola‐Garden City Rotary Club, RotaCare was created to serve the needs of the uninsured on Long Island. It began when a group of concerned volunteers met at the Mary Brennan Interfaith Nutrition Network in Hempstead. Many of these volunteers recognized that in addition to food, the medical needs of their clients were not met adequately by the healthcare system. Through the collaborative efforts of the Rotary Club, local healthcare professionals, area residents, and Mercy Hospital, a "MASH" team was formed to operate weekly at the soup kitchen. RotaCare was born. Since its inception, RotaCare has remained a Rotary District project and supported by concerned companies, organizations and individuals to sustain its good works and benefits to the community by providing free health care to people in need. In 2007, RotaCare expanded its scope again, and moved to larger quarters at the A. Holly Patterson Extended Family Care Facility in Uniondale.

Hello, I live on a farm in rural Nova Scotia, Canada. I am very interested in biodynamic farming, but just starting to learn - have done organic/natural farming of gardens, sheep/goats/pigs/chickens etc. We are striving to be self sufficient, and doing quite well.
I am very interested in starting an 'intentional community' on the farm and would like the key focus or vision to be biodynamic, thus all creatures would be taken care of. So, I am throwing this idea out to see if anyone 'around' is interested in exploring this concept of an 'intentional community'.

School Resource Centers Face Budget Cuts
By Laurel Wilson, Bowling Green Daily News
Family resource and youth service centers in schools are worried about how this year's probable 4.5 percent state budget cuts will affect their programs. Students and families who rely on the centers could see a major decrease in services. The cuts could cause schools to lose some of the programs at their resource centers, which include after-school activities, mentoring, guest speakers, family nights and health education and referrals, she said. The centers also help students with needs such as school supplies and clothing.

Drinking vinegars
28 Jun 2011
Makes 1 1/2 to 2 quarts, depending on fruit used. These measurements can be played with quite liberally, as some fruits contain more natural sugars.
|2 Quart (Such As Pears, Figs, Raspberries)
|Apple cider vinegar/White wine vinegar
|1 Liter (Preferably Bragg)
|Raw sugar
|1 Cup (16 tbs)
|Soda water
|2 Cup (32 tbs)
|2 Cup (32 tbs)
1. Rinse the fruit and discard any rot. Place in a large non-reactive or ceramic pot and mash for several minutes with your hands or wooden spoon. Pour in enough vinegar to cover and top with a lid.
Let macerate at room temperature for a week, stirring once a day. (Do not be alarmed by the smell or the sludge on top.)
Recipe Summary
StoryThe old-fashioned way to make fruit vinegar is to press fresh fruit juice and then ferment it into wine. Next, the wine is made into vinegar by adding a mother liquor. A mother liquior is a ghostlike mass that contains acetobacters, a special kind of bacteria that converts the alcohol into acetic acid. When a good portion of the alcohol is converted into acetic acid, what's left is the essence of the fruit brightened by a tangy bite. Grapes traditionally are used for vinegar. But just about any fruit -- and some vegetables -- can be made into vinegar.

Upon graduating from Northeastern University with a BSCE in 1960, I immediately lost my temporary draft deferment, joined a local U.S. Army Reserve Unit and was assigned to heavy weapons.
A few days before my six-month active duty training obligation was to end at Fort Jackson, S.C., President John F. Kennedy put my unit on alert. It was April 1961, and we had no idea why. But we got our gear together and waited. It was canceled within a few days, to our relief. Some time later we leaned it had been prompted by the Bay of Pigs invasion.
That month, I thankfully headed home with the additional five-and-a-half-year obligation with my reserve unit, "The Pilgrim Division," out of Massachusetts.
Within a few months, I was fortunate to find employment at the Boston Naval Shipyard as a naval architect. They sent me to MIT half the workweek to convert me from designing land-based structures to designing naval ships. It was a really exciting phase of my career.
In 1966, I was hired as chief of structural design and supervisor of shipbuilding at the Quincy, Mass., shipyard, where General Dynamics was designing the vessels supervised by the U.S. Navy. I had the pleasure of working for Admiral Hyman Rickover, checking nuclear containment designs on submarines.
Later I was hired by the Army Corps of Engineers, where I continued until my retirement in 1994, giving more than 30 years of service - active and civilian - to this great country of ours.
There have been thousands upon thousands of unsung heroes - scientists, engineers, craft persons and others - the folks who who do the designing and the logistics who provide the support for our men on the sea and on the land.

His departure comes as the firm faces political pressure on household bills and a squeeze on profits.
Centrica is also facing the loss of finance director Nick Luff by the end of the year and strong speculation that chief executive Sam Laidlaw is to leave.
The group has been buffeted by public anger over bills and is facing a full-scale competition inquiry into the energy sector.
Earlier this month, Centrica said it would leave energy tariffs unchanged this year despite revealing that group profits will be lower than expected.
Earnings from its residential energy business dropped 6% to £571 million last year due to rising wholesale prices and a milder winter.
The firm lost more than 360,000 gas and electricity customers in 2013 as households switched to rivals.

Amphipolis area during the brutal power struggles that followed his death. However, Macedonian royals were traditionally buried at Aegae, further to the west, where rich, unplundered graves excavated in the late 1970s have been identified as those of Alexander's father, Philip II, and a slain son.
Older research has tentatively linked the lion statue, which was removed during Roman times and discovered a century ago some 5 kilometers (3 miles) away, with Laomedon, one of Alexander's military commanders; his admiral, Nearchos, was a citizen of Amphipolis.
"It's all speculation until we see the inside (of the tomb)" said Michalis Tiverios, a professor of archaeology at the University of Thessaloniki.
The excavation is expected to last at least another few weeks.

Evan Boehm commits to Missouri

When Evan Boehm attended a one-day Missouri football camp in Kansas City as a freshman, he walked away with an offer from the Tigers.
It's a gesture Boehm, now a rising senior who is the top-rated offensive guard in the country, never forgot and one that paid off in a big way for the Tigers.
Scout's Take Interior offensive line prospects might not create a lot of buzz, but this is a very good pickup for the Tigers.

Lord Forbes
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (July 2009)
Lord Forbes is the senior Lordship of Parliament in the Peerage of Scotland. The title was created sometime after 1436 for Alexander de Forbes, feudal baron of Forbes. The precise date of the creation is not known, but in a Precept dated July 12, 1442, he is already styled Lord Forbes. Brown's 1834 Peerage of Scotland gives a creation year of 1440. The first Lord's great-great-great-great-great-great-grandson, the twelfth Lord, served as Lord Lieutenant of Aberdeenshire and Kincardineshire. His great-grandson, the seventeenth Lord, was a General in the Army and sat in the House of Lords as a Scottish Representative Peer from 1806 to 1843. His son, the eighteenth Lord, fought at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815.
He was succeeded by his son, the nineteenth Lord. He was a Scottish Representative Peer from 1874 to 1906. His nephew, the twenty-first Lord, served as a Scottish Representative Peer between 1917 and 1924. The latter's son, the twenty-second Lord, sat in the House of Lords as a Scottish Representative Peer from 1955 to 1963, when all Scottish peers were given an automatic seat in the House of Lords, and served in the Conservative administration of Harold Macmillan as Minister of State for Scotland from 1958 to 1959. As of 2013[update] the title is held by his son, the twenty-third Lord Forbes, who succeeded in 2013. Lord Forbes is Chief of Clan Forbes.
Hon. Patrick Forbes, third son of the second Lord Forbes, was the ancestor of both the Earls of Granard and the Forbes baronets of Craigievar. Also, the Lords Forbes of Pitsligo were descended from Sir William Forbes, brother of Alexander Forbes, 1st Lord Forbes.
The family seat is Forbes Castle, near Alford, Aberdeenshire.

Shore Lab Discovery Center
Welcome to Shore Lab Discovery Center. We were founded and incorporated in the State of Florida as a not for profit in October of 2009. Our tax exempt status, 501 (c) (3), was received from the Internal Revenue Service in June of 2010. Our purpose is to build and operate a World Class Aquarium that will help define humankind's role in controlling, interpreting and preserving earth's aquatic wonders. The Shore Lab Discovery Center experience is an exciting opportunity by which millions of people who have limited contact and knowledge of Earth's aquatic wonders will be exposed to the beauty, complexities and perils these ecosystems face in today's world. We will offer impressive educational programs that are innovative and fun, cutting edge research projects, unique and exclusive exhibits that immerse explorers in exotic environments and adventure on the high seas. Shore Lab Discovery Center will build the public trust, represent the core values of the community, promote conservation through education and enhance the quality of life for all generations while celebrating the joys of nature.
What makes us different?
Our story line starts with a simple question: How did water originate on our planet? What does water mean to us today and for the future? How has the presence of wtaer influenced the complex relationships that have developed among its inhabitants? It's about the unique environs found on our planet and what humankind is doing to protect these places for our children and our children's children. It's about the importance science can play in the classroom: reading, mathematics, problem solving and collaborating with others. It is also about unlocking nature's secrets that someday will cure the incurable, ensure the integrity of our water ways, provide new technologies that will feed humankind and new energy sources that do not pollute and will someday propel us out of our galaxy.
We will guide you through the rainforests, explore the great lakes, travel down the major river systems, swim on a tropical reef, explore the ocean depths, travel across the polar landscapes, watch nature footage in 4D, walk through a park full of exhibits and examine the effects water has had on humankinds cultural evolution over the millennia. The story does not end here on planet earth but continues out into the universe and showcases humankind's advancements in exploring other worlds for signs of water and life.
What motivates us?
The chance to inspire young minds to ask the questions that lead to the great discoveries that cure the incurable, find clean new energy sources, discover new technologies that better humankind and find ways to fix and protect our ailing planet.
Our vision:
Inspire generations of explorers committed to discovery and living in harmony on our water planet. We shall do this by providing programs that are thought provoking and fun, advocate respect for the natural environment, provide balanced forums on relevant issues and convey the beauty of our world.
Our values:
We believe in creating an atmosphere of equality, fairness and trust by recognizing that strength lies in teamwork. We will provide exceptional service internally and externally by exceeding the expectations of our peers and those that we serve. We are committed to quality and excellence in all that we do and we embrace innovation.
Our creed:
Advocate for education, promote technologies that conserve our planets resources, explore our world in new ways and encourage cultural diversity, personal growth and tolerance.
Shore Lab Discovery Center is a learning lab encouraging participation and growth at one's own pace. We are reexamining our world and inspiring generations of thinkers and explorers in the tradition of: Herodotus, Charles Darwin, Bob Ballard and Jacques-Yves Cousteau. If we have aroused your passion for this worthwhile project please contact us to learn more about how you can become involved. We are seeking visionaries who share our passion for knowledge, education, exploration and preservation.

Recognition for the 2011 Rosé
Our 2011 Rosé was recently one of six rosés featured in Forbes Life celebrating "the world's sexiest beverage", and it received a 90 point rating (tied for the year's best) from the Wine Spectator. It also received 91 points and the comments "will stand toe to toe with the top rosés from France" from the Rhone Report. The 2011 Rosé is available direct from the winery and in limited national distribution.
The Tablas Creek Vineyard Rosé 2011 is a blend of three estate-grown varietals, propagated from budwood cuttings from the Château de Beaucastel estate. The blend is traditional of the southern Rhône, though the blend of grapes is predominantly Mourvèdre, and therefore more like the solid, dry rosés of Bandol than the lighter Grenache-based Tavel.
Each year, we take the grapes for our Rosé from the oldest section of French-source vines at Tablas Creek. In 1994, two years after our French vines had been released from their USDA-mandated quarantine, we had propagated just enough to plant a few rows of each varietal on a hill overlooking our vine nursery. Over the next few years, we used cuttings from these plants to plant the rest of our 120-acre vineyard.
These few rows of high-quality vines ripen later than the rest of the vineyard, so we harvest the Mourvèdre, Grenache, and Counoise together and co-ferment them (on their skins) in a single stainless steel fermenter. After 48 hours, we draw about 800 gallons of juice off the blend, and ferment it dry away from the skins. These lots are then supplemented with saignées (bleedings) from other Mourvèdre and Grenache lots in the cellar.
The grapes for our Rosé were grown on our 120-acre certified organic estate vineyard.
The 2011 vintage was our second consecutive winter with healthy rainfall, but yields were dramatically reduced by two nights of frost on April 8th and 9th, impacting particularly the early-sprouting grapes like Grenache Noir. Despite the low crop loads, ripening was slow due to a very cool summer, and harvest roughly three weeks later than normal. The long hangtime and low yields combined to produce fruit with notable richness balanced by higher than usual acidity, all at low alcohol levels -- perfect for rosé!
The 2011 Rosé is cranberry in color, with an expressive nose of watermelon rind, rose petals, plum, mineral and sweet spice. The mouth is rich but balanced by vibrant acids, with flavors of cherry, wild strawberry, plum and lime, and a long, rich finish that is both fresh and spicy. Pair it with Mediterranean cuisine, Spanish tapas, preparations with garlic and olive oil... or just enjoy it outside on a sunny day.

Not Available for Purchase
Since 2007, we have made our En Gobelet exclusively from dry-farmed, head-trained vineyard blocks. The results have been so compelling that we're planning to plant our entire new parcel -- all 55 acres -- in this style over the coming decade. Join us for this vertical tasting of every vintage of En Gobelet, from the 2007 to the newly-blended 2014. We'll also offer, before the tasting, an optional hike led by Viticulturist Levi Glenn through the rugged Scruffy Hill block from which we source most of the wine, and finish with a picnic lunch on our patio. $60 for wine club members and $75 for guests. Reservations are essential; we expect this to sell out. To reserve, email us at email@example.com or call us at 805.237.1231 ext 30. Details & More Events »

In August, Antonio Galloni published the results of his annual visit to Tablas Creek, and we were excited to receive such good reviews from this notoriously tough grader. Notes included the 2012 Esprit de Tablas Blanc (92 points; "impeccably refined"), 2011 Panoplie (94 points; "pure elegance"), 2012 Patelin de Tablas (90 points; "a gorgeous wine and a fabulous value"), and the 2012 Esprit de Tablas (93-95 points; "a fascinating Esprit to follow over the coming years").

JOURNEY, WHITESNAKE & Special Guests 'Thunder' to Tour the UK This May
Journey and Whitesnake, with special guests Thunder, will appear onstage together for the first time ever taking in eight dates across the UK throughout May 2013. Tickets are available online from www.livenation.co.uk orwww.ticketmaster.co.uk.
Journey, one of the most popular American rock bands of all time, are responsible for creating some of the best-known songs in modern music. Over the years they have gained multiple accolades including 19 Top 40 singles, 25 Gold and Platinum albums and the single Don't Stop Believin' holding the #1 digital catalogue song in history. The line-up features Neal Schon (guitars, backing vocals), Jonathan Cain (keyboards, backing vocals), Ross Valory (bass, backing vocals), Deen Castronovo (drums, percussion, backing vocals) and Arnel Pineda (lead vocals).
Co-headlining the tour are the legendary Whitesnake who carry a reputation as one of the world's leading rock 'n' roll bands. Founded and formed by Deep Purple singer David Coverdale, the band have earned multi-platinum albums and multiple top 10 hits worldwide, including 2 number 1 singles with Here I Go Again and Is This Love, and more recently with Still Of The Night. The line-up features David Coverdale (vocals), Doug Aldrich (guitar), Reb Beach (guitar), Michael Devin (bass), and Tommy Aldridge (drums, percussion).
Very special guests are Thunder. In 2009 the band went their separate ways, only to return in 2011 for a triumphant live performance at London's High Voltage festival, followed by two sell-out Christmas shows. Singer Danny Bowes says: "We'd already discussed possibly doing some shows during 2013, so this is perfect, and it's a great bill. It'll be a brilliant night out".

NEW YORK, Dec. 13 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- New York Blood Center (NYBC) will honor New York's finest this Monday, December 15 at 12:00 PM, for years of dedication on behalf of thousands of New York Police Department (NYPD) Academy recruits for donating blood and saving lives. To date, more than 100 blood drives have been held by the Police Academy since 1980, in conjunction with New York Blood Center.
A special "Perpetual Plaque" will be presented to the NYPD Academy in the midst of its latest blood drive effort, to be held between the hours of 7:30 AM and 11:00 PM at 235 East 20th Street in the Police Academy's main gym. More than 360 blood donations are expected from NYPD recruits.
The plaque will commemorate the blood donations of each NYPD Academy class of recruits, and will be updated by each subsequent graduating class. Blood donations will be recorded by percentage of the class, and by total number of blood donations.
NYBC thanks every individual blood donor and the wide variety of organizations that sponsor blood drives throughout the busy and often distracting holiday season.
With the winter holidays only days away, NYBC calls upon the community to please set aside a time to donate blood. Winter is a time when blood supply decreases while emergency needs remain the same. The holidays are also a time when it becomes more difficult to find precise blood matches for those that are very sick, including patients with blood cancers or rare anemias who are dependent upon transfusions of donated blood and platelets to stay alive. January is National Blood Donor Month.
To donate blood, please call: Toll Free: 1-800-933-2566 Visit: www.nybloodcenter.org
All donors receive free mini-medical exams on site including information
about their temperature, pulse rate, blood pressure

Suunto Triathlon Collection t6c and t3c models launch
With the triathlon season in full flow, you might have realised your training just isn't working for you. Suunto, to celebrate a partnership with the ITU, has launched two limited edition Triathlon Collection heart rate monitors.
Based on the t6c and t3c models, the new heart rate monitors are known as the Red Arrow and Black Arrow respectively.
The t6c Red Arrow, as you'd expect, reports your heart rate but also the aerobic benefit of your efforts on a 1-to-5 "Training Effect" scale. You'll also be shown excess post-exercise oxygen consumption as well as the more common calories burned and so on, and is aimed at professional competitors.
For those who don't need so much feedback, or are on a tighter budget, the t3c Black Arrow will appeal. In this model you'll also get HRM and the Training Effect as above, but for much less dosh.
To expand the data consolidated into your watch, you can also hook up sport-specific PODs - Foot POD, Bike POD, GPS POD, Cadence POD and PC POD.
The Suunto t6c Red Arrow and t3c Black Arrow are available for around £350 and £120 respectively.

February 13 was a big day for those who want Los Angeles to lead the way in greening our cities. After a contentious all-day hearing, the L.A. City Board of Public Works unanimously approved the Bureau of Sanitation's recommendation to transform trash collection from businesses and large apartment buildings.
Under the new system, which must still be approved by the City Council, haulers will operate under an exclusive franchise system with environmental standards and accountability. This means, finally, that our city will know who is picking up trash where, when and how — and that only responsible haulers, committed to playing by the rules, will be picking up and processing our trash.
One of the themes heard repeatedly during public testimony at last week's board hearing was that an exclusive system is going to raise costs. And there was a magic number to go along with the cry: 33 percent! A new report for an undisclosed client — later determined to be Angelenos for a Clean Environment (more on that amusingly misleading name in a future blog post), a "coalition" formed by a lobbyist, Cerrell and Associates — found that prices were more than 33 percent higher in cities with an exclusive system than in open-market and non-exclusive cities surveyed in Los Angeles County.
As someone who has dedicated a lot of time to understanding solid waste rates — and who knows that exclusive franchises help control costs, not raise them — I couldn't wait to get my hands on this study that found the magic number. Getting to an accurate number that compares customer rates is complex and deserves a detailed methodology.
It turns out that the report includes very little explanation of their methodology. The information they do provide — that the rates were determined through a confidential survey mailed to permitted haulers — quickly raised the research red flags. A litany of questions started to run through my mind: Were these base rates or did they get a list of every single rate for every single customer in the city? Were the rates verified by getting the bills for these customers? How many haulers responded to this survey? Was there a comparison of level of service, types of trucks and diversion quality attached to these rates?
The challenge with getting accurate customer rate information for open-market or non-exclusive systems is that little information is known or accessible. The information that is available does not always provide an accurate picture. For example, we spoke with City of L.A. permitted haulers who provided us with very low base customer rates. We later discovered customers that were paying hundreds of dollars more for their service with the same haulers. We have even spoken with one city staff person after another from several of the non-exclusive cities mentioned in this study who haven't been able to provide rate information.
The lack of information highlights one of the major concerns with a non-exclusive system: No one seems to know what is actually happening. Currently, no standards are attached to the open-market system in the City of L.A. The bar must be raised.
If anything, an exclusive system will help control costs, especially as standards are set and as disposal and fuel costs continue to climb. Exclusivity will improve efficiencies, create economies of scale and provide hauling companies with financing opportunities — all of which help reduce costs.
I hope that as the conversation moves forward, we can look past the magic numbers and the smoke and mirrors, and instead make room for discussions based on accurate information. This will allow the city to shape the best system possible for all stakeholders, not just the special interests.

text: OAKLAND -- The career of Mike Goodson has been much like the running game of the Raiders -- long periods of inactivity interspersed with flashes of productivity and brilliance. Goodson is at his high-point with the Raiders since being acquired by trade from the Carolina Panthers in March for offensive tackle Bruce Campbell. Goodson earned a game ball Sunday for his performance in a 15-0 win over the Kansas City Chiefs, rushing for 89 yards on 13 carries.

Re: Let's Talk About Horror Fiction and Film
Here's another potential market for you that I heard about on a horror writers' site:
Shroud Magazine.
Due to the economic problems right now, they don't pay very well ($25 or so), but it's yet another way to get your name out there. They're only open for submissions until June 30th, though, so send it to them as soon as possible.
Here are their submission guidelines.
The magazine looks pretty good. I've ordered a copy, and I'll judge from there whether I want to subscribe.

For those looking to find event and expo helper jobs in Singapore, there exists a wide and varied range to choose from. From corporate conferences to special interest conventions, events and expos require organised planning and precision coordination, often in a fast-paced environment to meet non-negotiable deadlines. Here are a few of the exciting career opportunities available in this sector.
Typically working as part of a large team, the role of the event assistant is a varied one, involving engagement at all stages of setting up an event. Their duties before the event may include assisting in drawing up event proposals, scouting for and booking venues, caterers and other staff, and helping to plan or design the layout and programme of events. During the event or expo itself, they may offer security and first aid assistance, while after the event has finished, they will typically be on hand to help with dismantling and clearing up the venue. More than formal qualifications, employers look for candidates with directly relevant or transferable experience, as well as enthusiasm and impeccable organisational skills. Those who demonstrate a can-do, self-motivated attitude are likely to go far in this position.
Exhibition managers might work with museum exhibits, special interest conventions and expos, or else high-profile corporate trade shows. Their duties encompass all aspects of event planning and organisation, including budgeting, promotion, hiring staff and venue selection. Usually employers will be looking for those with at least a bachelor's degree, preferably in a relevant field like business administration, design or management. Candidates should also be experienced in a supervisory or management role, have excellent communication skills, and be well-adapted to working long hours under pressure.
Account managers are responsible for liaising with clients to sell event and expo services, draw up proposals, and maintain databases of contacts, alongside helping with management duties. Employers will be looking for experience in event planning and sales, IT proficiency and a professional telephone manner. Candidates should also be highly motivated and self-driven, eager to meet targets by establishing and maintaining professional relationships with clients.
The booming corporate culture of Singapore makes it easy to find event and expo helper jobs. For the right person, a career in this sector can be as exciting and rewarding as it is high-pressured, with plenty of scope for advancement.

Don't know why, but I've recently realized just how much I love designing pictogram icons. The smaller the icons, the more constrains I have and every pixel has to count. Perhaps that is what drives me to refine them over and over until they "just right". Such a small canvas yet so many possibilities!
Let me know what you guys think, which icons should I add, which should go back to the drawing board?

So really according to you we should have a couple of every product, only grow 3 types of Apple, really narrow minded way of thinking.
I find it a bit funny how the majority of the people who actually write software that makes up most of the linux operating system aren't as rabidly anti-microsoft as some of the people who barely even know how to use that operating system.
I like Linus Torvalds views on the subject. Software is a tool, not an ideology or a political scene. You build the software to solve problems; to create solutions. Making money on the software, or having the software make money for you, is a good thing. If you don't want to share the source with your customers, that's fine, but its better to do so, so that your customers have more flexibility and can make changes to it as they need rather than having to hope that you might do so one day in an update.
And in his case he says that you can sell anything he writes, but you have to provide the source so that if he likes your changes, he can build on those changes as well.

Violence is Preventable
Over the past twenty years, the Violence Prevention Coalition has been at the forefront of the movement to frame violence as a public health issue. We believe violence is the most urgent public health issue of our time. As one of the leading causes of death among our young people nationwide, violence is an epidemic that needs to be recognized, named, and treated with the same investment we give lethal diseases.

Thread: Character redesign
March 5th, 2013 #1
Character redesign
This started out as a sketch but I have grown to like it a lot, so I'm hoping to get some feedback as to how to get the most mileage out of it.
During a bout of nostalgia I decided to try a redesign of one of my favorite old-video-game villains. I do need to pull some reference for materials for the armor (among other things) and work on rendering out volumes better, but I am wondering whether I can get away with this composition? Ideally, I am going to be shooting for a kind of techy Gigeresque art-nouveau look.
EDIT: Putting up the most recent version in the top post because it's gone through so many changes.

Haven't had much time to work on this, what with setting up a new portfolio site and all.. but this is where I am right now. Overdoing it on the darks a bit, I think.
March 8th, 2013 #3
Best thing to do right now I think would be to ditch the colors altogether and work out the values before you do anything else. Also, the composition isn't working like this; it's just way too cramped, she's being cut off top and bottom and her hands seem forced to fit into the picture.
Art nouveau is often very delicate and light, whereas this piece feels very heavy and solid. It's cool that you want to go in that direction (I love art-nouveau) but then you also need to prepare the image in that direction, not force it into that style halfway through.

March 8th, 2013 #4
Lhune - Thank you for taking the time to look at it, I was kind of worried that this was the case. I'll be sure to expand my canvas size and rethink the other elements to give her more room - maybe a more vertically-oriented format might work well.
The art nouveau thing, I'm thinking of using a nouveau-inspired decorative style, but twisted into something more heavy to make it a bit disconcerting - so that you get that nouveau association but it's actually the opposite, if that makes sense? I do get how the compositional elements need to support this direction as well, though. I think I got overly excited at the sketch phase and just ran into it without due consideration. _-_

It's either the head and hand feels large or the body/arms feel too short. and yes ditch color work on value first. Also try to specify a light source a bit more instead of making a lot of stuff feel shiny if you get what I mean. Make sure lighting makes sense.
The Following User Says Thank You to JFierce For This Useful Post:
March 8th, 2013 #6
JFierce - Once I increased my canvas size, I realized that, yeah. I fixed it in this version - she has a small frame, but not quite as tiny as it was before! Gotcha on the light source, since I am in the middle of redoing composition and values no time like the present to figure it out.
Posting a WIP to show where I am headed right now.. it's still messy but the format and anatomy issues have been addressed. Hopefully well. Getting a little further away from the art nouveau influence and more towards random cool-looking abstract shapes too, it seems.
March 20th, 2013 #7
Whoa it's been a while. I've been hacking away at it in my spare time and it's looking a lot less slushy now. Crossposting from my sketchbook because I really do want this to be nice but the feedback there isn't always easy to get.
March 23rd, 2013 #8
Pretty much done with the value planning stage, I think - minor things here and there need adjustments, but other than that I am not able to tell whether there are any major issues. I'll go into colors after this, if anyone sees something that's just not working out, please let me know?

In my opinion it still reads poorly, because I think you've not got a consistent pattern in your values (i.e. having all the values in the background in one range, all those in the foreground in another range) - so I can't easily figure out what is foreground and what is not. Case in point I didn't realize the animal was sitting on her arm because I thought the arm was part of the design in the wall. If you posterize it in photoshop this really stands out:
Try it again but only use 3 values, foreground, midground and background. Once that reads clearly, then you can add variation within each section but keep them still discrete. Hope that helps.

I agree with Justa, the shapes get very confusing. I separated the arm with some lighter value just to find it, it took my a while before I realized it was a claw. The first thing I noticed though, was that the torso was way too short, comparing it to the size of the face and her left arm. The skull also felt very large (same size of her ribcage) so I just gave her a hair cut at the top haha. He neck was also quite long for the angle her head was at. Her right arm was shorter than the left- I drew a pink line so you can see how the elbow lengths mostly match up after I lengthened the left arm. Lastly the pose looked too unnatural, so I separated them into a regular standing pose. Hope this helps a bit. The backround shapes you have are pretty interesting, just try using more contrasting values to put them apart from the figure. If you're going for a somewhat art novae style, you might notice how they often use very thick contour outlines on the figures.

justa - Thank you for pointing out the value issue and the suggested solution. I had trouble seeing it when I posted, but after your post I printed my image out and looked at it from a distance, and I saw what you meant immediately. I think the best way to link the animal to the girl might be to use a similar value distribution (mostly dark with some light accents).. this should put them on the same plane and relate in terms of storytelling as well. I do like knocking down the values of the BG, that's something I'll try.
bopx - Thanks for the anatomy check! I think I will just need to go into my image and redline out the correct anatomy for a 5-6 head petite body before fixing it. She's not particularly tall, but it should still make sense. : )
Will try to work out the kinks by tomorrow!

Let's see if CA finally lets me post this without blowing up in my face. Again.
Redistributed the values, fixed some glaring anatomy issues, and started piling on the color. This is where it is now.
