PHILIP TAN Designing & Drawing W/ The OUTSIDERS
It may not be the highest-profile comic Philip Tan has ever drawn, but the artist will be working with a pretty high-profile writer.
In January, Tan becomes the regular artist on The Outsiders, joining DCU Executive Editor Dan DiDio (click here for our interview with DiDio on the new writing assignment) as the new creative team for the monthly comic.
Since signing as a DC exclusive artist in 2008, Tan has gotten to work with quite a list of writers: Greg Rucka on Final Crisis: Revelation, Geoff Johns on Green Lantern, and Grant Morrison on Batman and Robin.
But now he gets to work with the top dog of the DC Universe, bringing his dramatic style to the comic's existing team and adding a few new characters along the way.
Newsarama talked to Tan about the job – his enthusiasm for the project coming over loud and clear during the phone conversation – and found out why DiDio's scripting style is what sold him on the opportunity.Click for slightly larger image, Check back for full size. Newsarama: Phil, how did you end up working on a comic with Dan DiDio? Did he come to you and ask you to do this project?
Philip Tan: We were talking about what I'd be doing next, back before I started on the Batman and Robin arc. My Green Lantern job was just finishing up, and I knew I only had a few issues of Batman and Robin.
He told me there were two possibilities: One was a high-profile "Bat"-book; the other was The Outsiders. But DiDio said he would write The Outsiders. And for me, I was like, "Really????" I asked Dan, if I take the Outsiders book, would it be OK to work on the plot script style, and that's what Dan wanted also. So it just kind of fell together.
It was what I wanted and needed at the right time. And we've been preparing ever since, which is nice to get a head start on things like that.
Nrama: What attracted you to working with a writer using plot-style scripts?
Tan: It's unusual to find a writer who is using that style. I don't think there's a better style or anything. But for me, it gives me more room to design the story. I like designing. I've done a lot of design work already of characters and settings. But this gives me the additional challenge to really break down scenes and stories the way I imagine them.
It's something that I've never done, but I'd really like to try. As much fun as I've had working with all these great writers in the last year and half, they write in really tight scripts. So it appealed to me from the get-go to be able to break down the stories. I really want to see what I can bring to a comic.
It's something I'm really, really excited about. It's a working relationship I've never done before. I want to see if I can make it work.
Nrama: What do you like about The Outsiders team?
Tan: It's weird because Batman and the Outsiders was the first book from DC that I collected. But then I got away from it. So it's great to come back to it after all these years. This is the first book that I picked up.
So I try to make a connection with the characters between how I used to know them and what they're like right now. I've picked up the books to see how they were portrayed recently. And I've tried to take things that I saw that I liked, but then add some things to the characters that I'd like to see. It's one of those situations where I know some of these characters so well because I read them for so long, but I also don't know their recent stories, so I'm catching up on all that while also using what I already know and love about them when I'm drawing them.
Nrama: What's it like working with the big boss at DC?
Tan: It's great! I mean, it's hard sometimes because he is so busy. So far, we've already plotted out six to 12 months of story. So we've got a good idea of where we're going. But it becomes difficult because when we get talking, we end up getting so excited about what we want to do that we end up talking for hours and getting so caught up in everything that we are like, maybe we should let Dan get back to his work! So we don't get to do that as much as maybe we could.
Dan and I love the history of the Outsiders and we're just so excited to be contributing to its mythos. We want to add excitement. Going back to my Marvel work, I'll describe it as, we haven't really seen those big Dark Phoenix moments. And we want to bring that to this book. And it's been great working with him because we just have so many ideas for the comic.
But what is really special to me is the plot-style scripts. It's something that people did in the past, but you just don't get that opportunity anymore. This allows me to contribute to the story better, not only with the artwork, but
I'm also trying to work closely with the colorist and the inker. We're trying to improve the look of our stuff. I really want to get to a point where it says "art team" and doesn't even break it down to penciler and inker and colorist. I'm really a believer that with the right art team, it really makes a difference.
It's really been a collaboration between everyone. It starts with the plot-style scripts, but then it's this big team effort where everyone is contributing to the comic.
Nrama: Is there a certain character that you've been focusing on?
Tan: Geo-Force is probably my favorite character in the book. He'll be going through some changes. The relationship he will have with the team and the rest of the DC Universe is going to be pretty special.
What we're trying to do now is with every character, we're trying not to change their look just because we want to. Their look will only change because of the story, or because things in the DC Universe are affecting them. The whole book, in general, is being affected over the coming months in a way that will change the look of it.
Geo-Force is really challenging, not because it's physically demanding or anything. But just to capture him and the state of mind he's going to have is really tough. We'll see some changes coming for Black Lightning. Katana will have some changes coming up. I am just excited to show people Katana's new look. I think for three or four issues, she'll look the same. But because of certain things changing, she will start to look different. But we're going to focus on not just her look, but how her character is affecting the whole team.
There's a really, really exciting new character who is going to show up somewhere around the fifth or sixth issue mark. But we're going to not focus on that. We have to build the team first and our run, and make people experience a good transition from the great job that Peter Tomasi and Fernando [Pasarin]. So we're not going to do anything drastic. You're just going to see how things going on in the DCU make some changes.
We'll be going into an important phase of the book a little further into 2010, and it will really take everything to a new level.
Nrama: Is there anything else you want to tell your fans as you start on Outsiders?
Tan: I have just been so lucky to work with all these great writers, like Geoff and Grant, and Greg, who is always so supportive of what I do. But I'm still growing. I'm not perfect. I am so thankful for all the fans who love what I'm doing. But I want to get better. I would love for those who never liked my work to maybe try it out. I really, really want people to give this book a chance. People who are not planning to pick it up should give it a chance. I think every book I do, I'm going to do a better job. Especially with such a close working relationship with my inker and my writer, and with my colorist also. We're really going to give you something different.
And like I said, it's going to be fun. It's going to be very unique. You're going to get a great team of characters with a whole new fresh take. So try it out!RELATED STORY Dan DiDio Talks Writing The OUTSIDERS

Field Dressing Equipment
Most birds and game animals can be field dressed with a normal, sharp hunting knife with a 2½- to 4-inch blade. Bring a sharpening steel to sharpen your knife while you are working. Field dressing larger animals might require a game saw or axe to split bones. If you want to keep the heart and liver to eat, use plastic bags to carry them home. For large animals that must be skinned and quartered in the field, you need cheesecloth game bags to hang meat and protect it from flies. You might also want to carry some paper towels to wipe out the body cavity and clean yourself. Remember not to litter!

Oracle profit warning spells doom:
Lowered spending for software has hit Oracle where it hurts
Oracle, the world's second largest software company, on Thursday joined the list of technology bellwethers warning that a slowing economy would cause profits to come in lower than expected.
Oracle had been one of the few industry titans to appear unscathed by corporate America's reluctance to commit to big-ticket technology purchases.
With Thursday's announcement after the close of trading, Oracle joined the growing list of high-tech companies, including Cisco Systems, Microsoft and Sun Microsystems -- that have issued profit warnings or indicated that deteriorating economic conditions likely will make for a difficult business climate during the first half of the calendar year.
"We're seeing a very substantial slowdown in the
US economy that is making people cautions in all of their spending, including spending for software," Oracle chairman and chief executive Larry Ellison said.
Oracle said its formerly bullish forecasts began to crumble when senior executives in the United States were reluctant to give final approvals as Oracle pushed to close sales for its fiscal third quarter, which ended on Wednesday.
"We didn't see a slowdown and that was
consistent up until about last Friday," Oracle chief financial officer Jeff Henley said.
"After that, every day it got worse. Literally the
last day of the quarter we had a number of transactions that didn't happen," he said.
Oracle shares, which had rallied $2-3/8 to close at $21-3/8, fell to a new year-low of $16.94 in after-hours trading on the Island system. The stock is well off its year-high of $46-7/16.
Based on the slowing sales, Oracle now expects to report earnings per share at 10 cents, up 25 percent from 8 cents a year ago, excluding investment gains. The company had been expected to earn 12 cents a share, according to First Call/Thomson Financial.
Ellison said Oracle's operating income would be about $900m, compared with Wall Street's forecast of $1bn.
Oracle executives also said the company did not yet see evidence that sales were slowing in Japan, Asia and Europe.
"Through the third quarter, at least, there didn't
appear to be any leakage abroad, but that doesn't mean it couldn't happen," Henley said.
"It's just going to bring down the whole software
sector. Obviously, no one's immune. I think the whole group is vulnerable. This is the spill over of technology," Credit Suisse First Boston analyst Brent Thill said. "Software was the last standing soldier."
The software vendor said total revenue grew around 9 percent for the quarter and software license sales revenue rose by 6 percent. Of the company's two software product lines, Oracle said its applications business of enterprise and front office software grew 50 percent while its database business was flat to slightly negative. Oracle is slated to give detailed fourth-quarter financial guidance when it reports third-quarter earnings on 15 March.
In the months leading up to the warning, Oracle said applications revenue would increase by 75 percent or more in the third quarter.
Analysts had been lowering forecasts for Oracle's database revenue -- which accounted for more than one-third of the company's second-quarter revenues -- citing a slowing economy and dot-com failures. Nevertheless, many thought it would grow by at least 10 percent.
"I was expecting things to not be great. But I was
not expecting it to be this bad. I still thought the database business would exhibit some growth," Epoch Partners senior analyst Mark Verbeck, said.
While the warning marks the second time in a
decade that Oracle's earnings are expected to miss
forecasts, Ellison said the company's
year-over-year profit and margins show
improvement despite the tough economic
Oracle's operating margin improved to 33 percent, an increase from 31 percent a year ago, said Ellison, who added that the company also will continue to manage expenses by allowing its head count to fall through natural attrition.
"As long as the economy doesn't get worse, we
think we're going to be just fine. We think we're better equipped to deal with the slowdown than any other company on earth," Ellison said.
Analyst Thill, however, sees more disappointment to come.
He said the software industry has been in a slump for the past six months but stock prices haven't bottomed out yet.
Thill said he would not be surprised if shares of some software companies slide another 15 percent to 25 percent.
"I don't know what's going to fix this," Verbeck
"We're in this vicious circle where there's
unprecedented interest by consumers in the stock market. Even though the numbers in the economy aren't bad, the sentiment is terrible. It becomes self-fulfilling. It's not good," he said.

I am one of many repeat customers of the IBH. It is more of a small hotel experience, with nice location, great access to the best beach, extremely friendly staff, and over all experience that makes long or short stay worth it. The rooms are very basic, some would say a little worn, but clean and comfortable. It is the beautiful garden grounds, nice pool and beach side, plus a very accommodating staff that makes this a repeat for most of us. Rain or shine there is something to do. Also, I don t understand why more do not take advantage of the wonderful spa. Suggest you try.

IBH continues to be a gem in the midst of the hectic Ko Samui. It front s a great beach, the service of all the staff are beyond even what the Thai s are known for. Yes, the rooms are old fashioned, but not a cookie cutter experience. The grounds are like a staying at a botanical garden. Staff, clean rooms, excellent pools, good breakfast food and service, equals a total relaxing stay for families or singles. I continue to value and return many times. Try the SPA, the girls are great.

I was really pleased with the size and standard of the Premier room we booked. A private balcony, large bathroom with a bath, very ample storage space for your suitcases and belongings and enormous bed. The hotel is set in beautifully kept tropical gardens. We didn t really want to leave! My only criticism was that because this is a large hotel it was sometimes hard to find a table at breakfast if you arrived at the peak period but we got around this by going after 10am. The staff were extremely helpful and spoke good English. I would definitely consider staying here again.

因为酒店在sawadee打分很高才订的,总体来说还是不错。最好的是两个游泳池,十分舒服,酒店里面也很漂亮。酒店附近的饭店和查文海滩的比起来要便宜很多,还很清静,可以好好享受假期,如果想去热闹的查文海滩,可以乘坐shuttle bus过去。不爽的是前台对于中国护照的人态度一般,我就听他们嘀咕我的护照怎么是大陆的人呢,即使我说流利的英语。难道中国人拿的泰铢没有别人的值钱?另外check out时即使查房完毕也没有及时告诉坐在大堂等待的我,我由于要赶飞机,还是送我机场的服务生问了才知道查房早完了,他们连过来通知我一下都犯懒,有点过分了。酒店的淋浴是分别打开冷水和开水的,想配成合适的温度需要些经验和技巧,其它的,都不错。我几次去前天咨询问题,他们还是很热情,当然那时候也许不记得我是中国人了。我还是挺认可这家酒店的服务及设施的,当然希望他们更职业一点,那就更好了。

The Choeng Mon Beach is a little bit overcrowded with 4-row sun beds and lots of people in the nearest hotel. If you seek some intimacy and isolation this is not the right place. The hotel is very big and privacy can be hardly obtained during the day. As for the out-of-beach activities/evening outings this is a very good choice: the nearby walking street provides you with everything you might need (cheap massage starting from 250 Bahts, cafes and restaurants as well as some souvenir shops and family marts with cheap beer (30 Bahts vs 120 Bahts for Singha in the hotel). If you seek some nightlife activities or a stronger shopping spree Chaweng is 10 minutes away by bike (200 Bahts per day if taken in the walking street).

I m afraid, out of the 5 hotels we selected,on our 4th trip, Imperial does come last!! The grading 3 should not say value for money -that is very deceptive and medium is more appropriate. We felt entirely ripped off for what we recieved.Choeng Mon is a lovely setting but out of all 5 beaches,certainly doesn t justify the price.We asked for a Pool View suite which at around 600Othb with a snippet of a pool view,is a total disgrace. One could have selected a characterful boat cabin WITH a seaview at 8000THB per night. I was so confused by the standard of room facilities, I actually enquired at reception whether they hadn t possibly made a mistake.The unfriendly reception staff didn t seem to be too sympathetic and informed me that of the 135 suites,we were in one of 7 select suites!Do yourself a favour by asking for a higher room with NO pool view.That way you might get a glimpse of the sea and in fact pay less for the lack of the pool view!!????? The restaurant staff were however far friendlier,unfortunate that they aren t the welcoming bunch where the first impression is set!!! Imperial does however have some nice facilities like a gym,large boat pool and a lovely small safe beach where one doesn t have to wade far out till shoulder height. There is a lovely casual restaurant/cafe called Orchid Cafe, on the Main Road to the right about 100m down opposite Family Mart, that in fact help make up for the overcharging and left us feeling happy to have explored the area. I think my opinion would be far different if we had paid half the price for what we got but unfortunately I feel done in!This is by no means PRIME Koh Samui, through 4 years of visiting it s unfortunate that a foreigner has to ditstinguish between worth it with ALL the bells and whistles and something so standard that costs so much more. Good luck, we ll definitely be back to the area and beach but certainly not Imperial Boat House!

:: The History of the Boat Suites ::
For many years now tourists have chosen The Imperial Boat House Beach Resort as the ideal destination to spend an exotic tropical holiday in Thailand. One of the reasons for this is the unique concept of the hotel with its strong nautical theme and most notably, the thirty-four authentic rice barges. These were once fully functional river barges that operated along Thailand's famous Chao Phraya River or River of Kings.
As you may well know the old name for Thailand was the Kingdom of Siam, a name synonymous with the spice trade made famous by such people as Marco Polo. The principal means of transport in those days was by water and so expansive were the waterways in the capital, that it was once known as the Venice of the East. With the abundance of teak in Thailand at that time and the many qualities of this wood, it was the natural choice for the construction of the rice barges and continued to be so up to recent times. Thirty - four of these working boats were transported across the Gulf of Thailand to the island of Samui to take up residence at The Imperial Boat House Beach Resort. Never having been sailed on seawater before, the journey took its toll on these natural treasures and painstaking restoration was required. After the exterior had been completed work began on converting the barges into luxury suites.
The great attraction of the boat suites is their rich heritage and their natural wooden construction, indeed they are the only ones of their kind in the world today! The antiquity of the barges and their colorful history are interwoven with the unique experience of staying in these suites. You might encounter this during your stay, as the barges may creek from the slightest movements in the wood, caused by changes in temperature and humidity. At times they may even smell a little, due to the effects of years of transporting rice to various destinations along the River of Kings, which has engrained itself into the teak wood exterior of the barge. Each rice barge is a porthole to a bygone age, and we hope that these rare disturbances will not prove too troublesome, but conversely, will heighten your appreciation of the unrivaled experience of staying in a boat suite during your holiday on beautiful Koh Samui.
The Imperial Boat House Beach Resort is located on Choeng Mon Beach, 4 kms and just minutes away from Chaweng Beach. from the airport, this unique resort comprises thirty - four authentic teakwood rice barges - converted to "Boat Suites" and eight low - rise southern style guestroom buildings.

The Berkeley Rent Board is committed to promoting safe and healthy housing for all. To ensure that rental units remain smoke free, landlords should always include a smoking prohibition clause in a lease agreement for a new tenancy. So that no resident is subject to the harmful effects of second hand smoke, we are also encouraging all sitting tenants and landlords to voluntarily agree to sign an addendum to their existing lease agreement that prohibits smoking on the premises if the original agreement does not already contain this prohibition.
A landlord may not impose an enforceable unilateral smoking prohibition on an existing tenancy (See Rent Board Regulation 1313), but tenants and landlords may agree to make the premises a smoke free environment. To enforce an addendum prohibiting smoking when none previously existed, landlords must make expressly clear that the parties entered into this agreement voluntarily. To that end, the Board has drafted language that landlords and tenants may use to append their existing lease agreements. Please click here to view this language (PDF).

I caught The Bachelor Monday night at the gym, and though I hadn't watched any of this season I was hooked after about 5 minutes (sigh). Most notably, when funeral director contestant Shawntel Newton was being interviewed, I saw that her hometown was none other than Chico, CA: my hometown. She works at a funeral home owned by her family and another Chico family. I went to middle school with the son of the other family (I remember him because I had a big crush on one of his friends. I had the makings of a FB stalker pre-Facebook, apparently). What's more: internet spoilers say she's getting a hometown date. Woo. Chico hasn't been featured so prominently since the original Robin Hood (and that Playboy 1987 party school ranking)! Oh yeah wait, and the Green Bay QB who's also from Chico. Anyway…
The fact that Shawntel is from Chico was just a (greatly) fun fact for me, but I started thinking more about it because of a few other things on my mind the past week. Namely: Emily's blog post about the toys marketed to girls, an interaction between a teacher I observe for work and her female students, and David McCandless analysis of Facebook statuses to see which time of the year is prone to breakups, which was published a while ago but came back into memory because we're nearing Valentine's Day.
Shawntel Newton and I grew up in the same place, about one year apart in age. Chico is fairly homogenous amid the middle class population and small (about 100,000 people), so we were likely to have been brought up under similar cultural experiences and expectations (outside of family). There were only a handful of elementary schools and two middle schools in town at the time. What's more, our families knew some of the same people. Obviously there are still many contributing factors to make us different people – particularly family, which I can't use as a comparing factor at all (and I do have to mention that I left Chico at 14 for Tennessee, so at high school the surrounding similarities go out the window) – but nevertheless, having this much in common in childhood, especially things that are so essential to social understanding (schooling, friends, the kind of people you see around you every day, the cultural markers, town haunts, one of a kind places that make a town unique and that shape those who grow up within it) makes me suddenly think very seriously about The Bachelor. No, not about competing, but about why people compete. Normally when I considered this question, my answer was easy: these are crazy fame seekers, or, even easier…these are DBs (Dumb Bitches, for those of you not in the know). But now, someone whose background I partly share in is a serious contender on The Bachelor. Suddenly, instead of assuming that the people who compete are of course not like anyone I would ever know, it's quite the opposite.
The Bachelor can be compelling because it mixes the possibility for fame with the childhood fantasy of romance and a "prince charming." These are powerful motivators. They're powerful motivators that have an inception in the Disney movies on which our generation of girls was brought up. Even Mulan, different because she succeeded in a traditionally male role, still earned herself fame…and a prince. (It's true. He's not a prince; he's the son of a general. But you know what? Until I re-watched the movie a few months ago, I had remembered him as a prince. That's what we remember.) But could these childhood princess fantasies really still be at play in the minds of (some of) these women, now in their 20s and 30s? That's where I thought of Emily's post from earlier this week: what kind of cultural messages or expectations are set up for girls via their toys? Luckily we didn't have to deal with Bratz dolls back in the day, but it was before Barbie got her boobs-to-scale makeover, and when classic Disney princess movies were still being churned out regularly (not to say that I don't love them).
This brought to mind another scene that I watched recently, one that made me think about the implicit messages we pick up as children, in social interactions and the culture we intake, be it through toys, movies, or the people we see every day. Part of my job is to observe public school teachers implementing an online math program. One of the teachers I see works in a computer lab, so she has multiple classes coming in throughout the day. When any class enters, she instructs the boys to pull out the girls' chairs. The girls sit down, and then the boys push their chairs in for them. The girls say thank you, and then the boys can be seated. This is repeated in reverse at the end of class. On my most recent visit, the situation was too paradoxical not to find concerning. "Boys, pull out the ladies' chairs for them. Ladies, you should never have to touch your chair." Later, when the boys were pulling the chairs back out at the end of class, with the girls still seated in them: "Ladies, don't make the boys do all the work themselves. Some of us are heavier than others." Wait. What I had first thought was pretty adorable (they were second graders, after all) had just become problematic. Is this thrice-weekly mantra seeping into their subconscious little by little, throughout the 5 schooling years they spend in that computer lab, and affecting how they interact with the opposite gender? Did our childhood years spent obsessing over Disney movies and Barbie and Ken actually help form our idea of love in our own futures? Or is Shawntel Newton just another fame-seeking lady who happens to be from the same town as I am, another anomaly?
It's probably the latter (especially since we can blame high school, college and after for the heartache that might serve to make someone motivated enough to be on The Bachelor) but that doesn't mean that those childhood hours spent playing house with Barbie and Ken or singing along to "Part of Your World" at sleepovers — or that the odd "role model" in your childhood who told you you were fat while simultaneously telling you to let men do everything for you — aren't greatly affecting our individual manifestations of gender roles, and expectations of the part each sex should have in a romantic relationship. And by signing up for The Bachelor, a woman is actually signing up for dating someone and the possibility of having a romantic relationship with him. A romantic relationship with someone she's not met. How could anyone sign up for that unless a part of her still believed that "Disney" love was possible? (Thanks for the irony, world: The Bachelor is an ABC show so it's actually produced by Disney.)
But let's talk about the part of one's love history that comes after childhood, the part of life where I can no longer compare my cultural upbringing to that of Shawntel Newton. Here's where I was reminded of David McCandless Facebook status analysis, which finds that break-up season comes twice a year: the holidays and spring break. The numbers start to rise again right around now. How does that relate to The Bachelor? Well, personally I have no Facebook friends who update their status about breakups. Who are the 10,000 people producing the break-up statuses that McCandless analyzed? Relationships are playing out in the public domain, via Facebook, The Bachelor, etc, and clearly there are thousands of people not only watching but participating by publicizing their own relationships, or participating in relationships that are almost entirely public. So what happens to today's girls who have The Bachelor instead of Disney princess movies; how much more public can they make their future relationships? (American media, this is not a challenge.) Whether it's the childhood toys and movies that still flit through the subconscious or the quarter-life breakups at work, a girl with whom I shared a fairly small childhood landscape is a Bachelor contestant, and the publicizing of our most personal moments has taken another step to becoming normal.

The Rev. A.A. Willis was rector of Calvary Church and was officiating at marriages in 1837 and 1838. He was still there in 1839 when the Rev. Thomas Horrell wrote the following in his journal of his travels and labors in the ministry: "I ... returned to Smithland at the mouth of the Cumberland, where the Rev. Mr. Willis was laboring as Missionary."
By 1841, the Rev. Robert Ash was rector of Calvary Church. The Rev. Ash reported in 1841 the following: "In reviewing the condition of the missionary station committed to my care, I find nothing very special to mention. I have endeavored to preach the Gospel faithfully to all classes - to the master and to the slave - to the young and to the old. Though little good has apparently resulted from my labors, yet I consider it my duty to persevere, and feel assured, that as far as the truth has been faithfully preached to the people, the divine promise will be fulfilled in due time." The Rev. Ash reported he had 12 families attending worship services in Smithland, had baptized one infant, no adults and 43 children were catechized. He died 24 July 1846, at the age of 43 years, and is buried in Smithland Cemetery.
Shortly before 1850, it is believed that the Rev. G.G. Moore began serving as rector of Calvary Church. He had served several other Protestant Episcopal churches in Kentucky - Trinity Church in Covington in 1844 and St. Peter's Church in Parish, Kentucky in 1847. His time in Smithland was short as he died in 1850 and is buried in Smithland Cemetery.
In January 1881, the property was sold to Clifford Dooms, Levi Pippin and Nathan Dorroh, deacons of the Coloured Baptist Church of Smithland. It was specified that the property was not to be used for any unhallowed or unholy purpose.
The Protestant Episcopal Church was active in Smithland about 40 years. There is no Episcopal Church in Smithland today.

Man killed in skydiving accident
A South Lake Tahoe man was killed Tuesday morning during a skydiving accident between Pope Beach and Camp Richardson.
Searchers located the body of Robert Ranieri, 28, in about 15 feet of water about 10:45 a.m., according to the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office.
Ranieri was a part of a group of three skydivers who rented a flight on a helicopter and planned to land near Camp Richardson, according to a statement from the sheriff's office.
For unknown reasons, at least two members of the group were unable to make the intended drop zone.
"Something didn't go right and they didn't make it to the beach," said Lt. Pete Van Arnum. The group's parachutes deployed, Van Arnum added.
At least two of the skydivers landed in Lake Tahoe. Dispatchers started receiving calls about skydivers in distress about 8:45 a.m., according to the statement. The two skydivers declined to comment on the incident Tuesday morning.
Numerous agencies participated in the attempted rescue, including the U.S. Coast Guard, South Lake Tahoe Fire Department, California Department of Fish and Game, CALSTAR, California Highway Patrol Air and personnel from Naval Air Station Fallon.
An autopsy for Ranieri is planned Wednesday, Van Arnum said.
The El Dorado County Sheriff's Office and the Federal Aviation Administration are investigating the accident.

Every Saturday my dad heads to the local farmers market and, if the season is right, comes home with a big bunch of beets, which he then scrubs clean, boils, quarters, and marinates in oil and vinegar.
So by the time I show up in the morning we have a bowlful of beets for breakfast or lunch. Boiled beets are fine; the method is fast, energy efficient, and since the beets are so naturally strongly flavored, combined with the dressing, it works.
That said, over the years I can't count the number of people who have tried to get me to roast beets instead of boiling them. They've insisted that roasted beets just taste better than boiled.
I have roasted beets. Quite frankly, I haven't been able to tell that big of a difference from boiled.
Until now.
Now I get it. These beets are great! The long roasting caramelizes the sugars in the beets adding all sorts of awesome flavor.
The trick? Make sure the beets are wrapped in foil so they don't dry out, and then forget to set the oven timer so you cook them 20 to 30 minutes longer than you think you should.
By the time I took these beets out of the oven, they had roasted for an hour 45 minutes. There was so much caramelization the peels were like candy. They were a little harder to peel, but wow, so worth it.
The orange zest and balsamic glaze? Double wow. Like orange-y beet-y balsamic-y fireworks in your mouth. Watch out though, talk about high glycemic. These beets are addictive. Pace yourself. They will last for several days in the fridge.
Roasted Beets with Balsamic Glaze Recipe
- 2 pounds red beets, medium sized, scrubbed clean, green tops removed (see beet greens recipe for what to do with beet greens)
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- Salt
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
- Freshly ground black pepper
1 Preheat oven to 400°F and line pan with aluminum foil.
2 Rub beets with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, place in pan, cover with foil: Place the beets in the pan. Rub olive oil over the beets, and sprinkle with salt. Cover the beets with another sheet of aluminum foil.
3 Roast for 1 to 2 hours: Roast for 1 to 2 hours, depending on the size of the beets and how old they are. After 1 hour, test every fifteen minutes by poking a beet with the tines of a fork.
Once the fork tines go in easily, the beets are tender and cooked. Remove from the oven.
4 Prepare balsamic glaze: While the beets are cooling, prepare the balsamic glaze. In a small, shallow sauté pan, add the balsamic vinegar and sugar. Heat on high until the vinegar has reduced to a syrup consistency. Remove from heat.
5 Peel and cut cooked beets: After the beets have cooled for several minutes, but are still warm to the touch, peel off the outer skins and discard. Cut the beets into quarters or more, bite-sized pieces.
6 Pour glaze over beets: Place beets in a serving bowl. Pour balsamic glaze over the beets. Stir in grated orange zest, and add salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish with a little orange zest to serve.

Democrat Abel Tapia's bid to unseat U.S. Rep. Scott Tipton moves the meter — a little
A liberal political blog has moved the 3rd Congressional District race from "Safe Republican" to "Likely Republican" after former lawmaker Abel Tapia decided to challenge U.S. Rep. Scott Tipton.
The 3rd District's a tough one for Democrats: It can be won in the right climate with the right candidate, such as a Ben Nighthorse Campbell in 1986 or a John Salazar in 2004.
But if the mood shifts, like it did in 2010 in favor of Republicans, Democrats are in trouble. That's when Tipton, of Cortez, defeated Salazar, of Manassa.
Tapia, of Pueblo, is running in what looks to be another GOP wave. He got in the race after Pueblo County Commissioner Buffie McFadyen, a Democrat, dropped her bid.
Here's what the Daily Kos had to say about the race:
Last week, Democrats unexpectedly landed a credible recruit to take on sophomore GOP Rep. Scott Tipton in former state lottery director Abel Tapia, who previously served in the legislature for many years. Given that Mitt Romney carried this district by a 52-46 margin, Tapia won't have an easy time, but Tipton's suffered a few ethical bruises and with Tapia's profile, an upset can't be ruled out. For that reason, we're moving this race from Safe Republican to Likely Republican.

Newspaper Articles
"Keep the Free Lot Free" - Says Reporter
Before this starts to sound like an attack, we'll give credit MSU parking for staying out of student fees and being self-sufficient. Keep it that way and keep the free lot. Paving the lot and adding better lighting would be a plus, but to charge students to use the lot would be just another shot to the wallet's of many students.
Future May Bring Free Lot Upgrades
The Parking Advisory Committee (PAC) made recommendations on Nov 27th to upgrade gravel lot 23 (aka "free lot"). Paving and lighting & improvements may mean an end of the "free lot" as PAC is recommending a $40 academic year permit effective Fall, 2007.

Serves: 16 to 20 slices
Preheat oven to 160°C. Let the eggs, milk and butter come to room temperature on the counter before beginning. (Butter goes on the counter last.)
Butter the Bundt pan with 1 tablespoon of butter, then add 2 tablespoons of flour and shake and tap to coat the interior of the pan; set aside. Put the diced apples in a bowl with the cinnamon and lemon juice. In a large bowl or stand mixer add the butter and 2 cups of sugar and beat until smooth. Add the egg yolks, 1 at a time, and blend to completely incorporate before adding the next. The mixture will become very light in color. Add the buttermilk and the extracts and mix to combine. Stir in 3 cups of flour along with the baking powder and stir until incorporated.
In a separate clean dry bowl, whisk egg whites until foamy, then add the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar and whisk until shiny and soft peaks form when removing the whisk from the whites. Gently fold this into the cake batter. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan. Arrange the apples in the center of the ring all the way around, being sure they don't touch the outer or inner edge of the pan. Pour in the remaining batter and bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Remove the cake from the oven and cool completely. Put a large plate or cake plate on top of the pan, then holding both together, flip them so that the curved bottom of the Bundt pan is on the top and the plate is resting on a flat surface. Slowly remove the pan from the cake by lifting it straight up. Slice and serve.

Yeah sorry Fusion, we had some problems with the server.
Hopefully you haven't had too many problems the past hour or so.

TeleTech To Exhibit At Jobs Expo Belfast 2016
The company was founded more than three decades ago on one guiding principle: Customer relationships built on trust and simplicity deliver lasting value for everyone. In other words, happy customers equal happy companies.
Building those relationships across every channel, every interaction, every day – that's not so simple. The always on, multichannel world in which we live creates challenges for companies and customers alike. Companies, trying to adapt to a new world of connectivity, are faced with disconnected technology systems, data silos, outdated processes and rising costs. Customers, increasingly empowered by technology, demand a better experience in exchange for their loyalty. The result is a disconnect that is costing brands billions and pushing customers away.
Teletech have built their business to re-establish the crucial relationship between brands and consumers. They call it customer engagement, and it empowers a company to think beyond the tactics of one-off interactions toward a strategy of long-term relationship building and growth. They've leveraged their deep customer experience to provide a comprehensive suite of services that enable a company to delight its customers and deliver profitable returns to its shareholders.

It has been a very exhausting but brilliant thing to spend months working towards a whole show. As a painter who is so used to documenting my work on this blog it has been difficult to keep it all under wraps... because I thrive on your comments! However now all is framed and by this time next week everything will be in the process of being hung.
There is also a book, which is lovely. It has many of the paintings from the show along with studies and sketchbook work and some musings by me on each painting. You can buy it from the gallery web site or win one by going to the gallery face book page and liking and sharing the page, that's got to be worth a try!

Our elaborate and skillfully crafted "Buffalo Deco Collar" is made from genuine soft Buffalo Leather and incorporates embroidery, rhinestones and beautiful ornamental studs. The artisanal stitching process in combination with the very durable Buffalo leather makes this collar particularly durable and tear-resistant.
Buffalo leather is usually thick and durable since it is not stretched during the tanning process. Therefore, collars made from Buffalo Leather are unlikely to stretch out of shape or tear even with longterm use and wear. The porousness of the leather also allows it to conform to your dogs neck over time improving the wearing comfort.
This high quality dog collar consist of 2 individual layers of soft Buffalo leather which both are double folded and stitched to enhance wearing comfort. The collar is also finished with durable chrome-plated fittings ensuring the longevity of the product.
Thanks to the special scotchgard treatment, the buffalo leather is water resistant and repellent making the collar very easy to clean.
Our Buffalo Deco Dog Collar is 100% made in Germany.

NEWTOWN, Connecticut (Reuters) - Twenty days after the massacre that left 20 first graders and six adults dead at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, plunging a rural New England town and the nation into grief, classes resumed on Thursday for the more than 400 students who lived through the harrowing assault.
Across Newtown's sprawling Sandy Hook neighborhood where the December 14 attack took place, children bundled in heavy winter coats boarded buses decked in green and white ribbons, their school colors, for the seven-mile journey to their new school.
Chalk Hill Middle School, an unused school in the neighboring town of Monroe, was refurbished specifically for the students from Newtown, and now bears a new but familiar name - Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Students on packed buses waved at clusters of photographers and TV cameras gathered at street corners along the bus route. Heightened security measures meant media was kept well away, but from a small plane above the new school, children getting off buses were seen running, hopping and skipping through the doors.
A steady stream of parents' cars were seen pulling up to drop students off at the main entrance, where they were greeted by a dark-suited official.
Anca Roberto, 35, put her 5-year-old daughter, a kindergartner, on the bus not far from the old Sandy Hook school, which remains a bullet-riddled crime scene closed to everyone but police.
Roberto said she had been nervous about the return to school until Wednesday, when she and her daughter attended an open house at the new location. Her daughter was thrilled to find her cubby intact, moved from the old school, and she "screeched" when she saw her friends.
The students "hugged, and they played and they were just kids," Roberto said. "The teachers were just amazing."
With safety foremost on the minds of parents and officials in the wake of the second-deadliest school shooting in U.S. history, the school has been outfitted with a new security system. Monroe Police Department officers were patrolling the grounds, and all outside doorways and sidewalks were under surveillance.
"I think right now, we have to make this the safest school in America," Monroe Police Lieutenant Keith White said at a press conference on Wednesday.
Asked if she was nervous about her daughter's safety, Roberto said: "I was until yesterday. There's just so much supervision. They're in the safest place."
Parents wishing to remain with their children, age 5 to 10 (kindergarten through fourth grade) were allowed to accompany them to their classrooms, and wait in the school's "lecture room" for as long as they wished, according to a memo to parents on the school's website. Counseling was to be available for students and parents at the new premises, the website said.
Erin Milgram, parent of a first-grader and a fourth-grader, told ABC's "Good Morning America" that she planned to drive behind the school bus and stay with her 7-year-old daughter Lauren, whose teacher Kaitlin Roig had hidden her first-grade class in a closet during the attack.
"I haven't gotten to that part yet about not being with them; I just need to stay with them for a while," Milgram said, fighting back tears.
The new school has been decked out as a "Winter Wonderland," with the help of thousands of children from around the world.
"This does not look like the other elementary school," Newtown School Superintendent Janet Robinson said emphatically.
At the old Sandy Hook school on Thursday, a handful of police and emergency vehicles could be seen still parked in parking lot, now 20 days after the attack, and from the air workers could be seen carting debris to an open dumpster.
No new details have emerged to explain why 20-year-old Adam Lanza, armed with a semi-automatic assault rifle, two other firearms and hundreds of rounds of ammunition, targeted the school. State police investigators have said it could be months before they complete their report.
Described by family friends as having Asperger's syndrome, a form of autism, Lanza shot and killed his mother, Nancy Lanza, at their home about five miles from the school, before driving to Sandy Hook and embarking on the massacre, police said. He then took his own life as police arrived at the school, which had an enrollment of 456 before the attack, according to district enrollment figures from November.
The massacre in Newtown, a rural New England town of 27,000 residents about 70 miles northeast of New York City, stunned the nation and reignited a highly charged debate over gun control. President Barack Obama, who described December 14 as the worst day of his presidency, has tasked Vice President Joe Biden with assembling a package of gun-control proposals to submit to Congress over the next several weeks.
The National Rifle Association, the most powerful gun-rights lobby in the United States, has rebuffed calls for more stringent firearm restrictions and, instead, called for armed guards to patrol every public school in the country.

Real-world trade areas provide more accurate insight.
The trip data exposes the origin and destination for any consumer trip to or from a trade area. When combined with Esri Location Analytics, these new eSite tools will allow retailers to move beyond inferred trade area demographics to do the following:
Now, instead of relying on typical residence-based trade area reporting, end-to-end market modeling and forecasting will be based on fact, not intuition.
"We are pleased to work with Esri and TomTom to provide access to this data for location-based customers," said Tom Blazer, CEO of eSite. "TomTom is the world's leading supplier of location and navigation products, and Esri is the only vendor that provides a complete platform that allows us to deliver our data solution to desktop, mobile, server, and cloud users."
"TomTom is always excited to see our products used in new and innovative ways," said Dan Adams, vice president of Location and Live Services, TomTom. "This collaboration extends the use of our origin and destination information to a new audience, providing them with trade area information never before available."
"This is a breakthrough in retail analysis," said Simon Thompson, Esri's commercial industry director. "Most location-based businesses have very little customer data. With this data, retailers have real trips to their store's trade area from real shoppers. Retailers can easily see who core shoppers are, find more like them living both inside and outside their trade area, and understand what drives them."
To set up a meeting to talk about how Esri and eSite can help your business understand and use location to understand customers better, visit esri.com/RECon.

Millar, Chronicle reviewer and comic strip writer, dies at 70
Longtime Houston Chronicle film critic Jeff Millar, whose career in journalism overlapped for more than two decades with a second job as writer of the popular comic strip "Tank McNamara," died Friday in Houston after a four-year battle with biliary cancer. He was 70.
Millar had been the Chronicle's main movie reviewer for nine years when he and local illustrator Bill Hinds developed a strip based on the life and times of the fictional football-player-turned-broadcaster in 1974. The strip soon developed a national following - comedian Jerry Seinfeld was a huge fan - and today runs in more than 300 American newspapers.
Millar worked at the Chronicle from 1965 to 2000. Upon his retirement, he estimated he had seen more than 8,400 movies in that time. During many of those years, he also wrote a humor column that appeared in the features section.
Millar's creative output also included another comic strip, "Second Chances," which ran from 1996 to 2000, and the novel "Private Sector," a thriller published in 1978. He wrote three plays, the last called "The Rice" that debuted at Houston's Main Street Theater in 2004. The play dealt with the story of a guest at the erstwhile hotel who was about to be tossed out unless her married boyfriend showed up to pay the bill.
Millar's former co-worker, Chronicle theater critic Everett Evans, reviewed the production and found it a likeable piece "written with great detail, warmth and humor." Evans said the play reflected the man who wrote it.
"When I began working at the Chronicle in 1978, I found Jeff as a colleague to be just as honest and funny as his reviews, columns and the adventures he concocted for Tank and his crew," Evans said. "Supportive and well-rounded, too, he could even compare notes on some choice but obscure Broadway albums - bet you didn't know Tank's co-creator could discuss 'Allegro' and 'Kwamina.' After he retired, I'd sometimes see Jeff at Alley Theatre openings with (his wife), his stride a bit slower, but still intrigued with the cultural scene. His many fans, myself included, will miss all those little Jeff-isms - such as his annual pre-Oscar crystal ball-gazing with mythical Murray the Wonder Publicist."
Authoritative, witty
Chronicle Senior Editor for Features Melissa Aguilar often had to edit Millar's work and remembered his creative talent.
"Jeff loved irony and usually wrote with tongue in cheek," Aguilar said. "Whether he was reviewing a film or chastising sports figures in his column, he had a genial yet authoritative voice and a creative wit."
Jeffery Lynn Millar was born July 10, 1942, in Pasadena to Daniel Millar and Betty Ruth Shove Millar. He grew up in League City and graduated in 1960 from Clear Creek High School, where he was valedictorian. He received a bachelor's degree from the University of Texas and was immediately employed by the Chronicle, first as an entertainment writer and then as a film reviewer.
Millar's only career interest was writing, albeit in a variety of forms, said his wife, Peg Millar.
"He was in love with words," his wife said. "From the time he was a little boy, he knew words were his friends and that he would make his living using them. He was amazingly creative. And always, in every aspect of his life, he didn't say anything like anyone else did."
Liked writing plays
Millar was diagnosed with cancer almost four years ago, she said, but continued writing until November.
"When he wasn't writing for the Chronicle, he was writing for fun," Peg Millar said. "That was all he ever wanted to do. He liked writing plays the most. He was fascinated by playwriting. But he also enjoyed writing Tank. To him, sports seemed like a very rich place to go for ideas. It wasn't about the money, he just wanted to do as much with words as he could."
Besides his wife, Millar is survived by sisters, Lisa Berry, of Round Rock; Serena Andrews, of Lake Jackson; and Shelly Millar of Lake Jackson; brothers Mark Millar, of Gunter; and Daniel Millar, of Oklahoma City; an aunt, Helen Garrett, of Port Aransas; stepdaughter Meggan Watson, of Houston; stepson Matthew Watson, of Washington, D.C.; and two grandchildren. Services are scheduled for 10 a.m. Dec. 8, at Geo. H. Lewis and Sons Funeral Home in Houston.
