Popeye Returns to Comics with IDW
Thursday, Jul 21st, 2011
All-new adventures with the "Sailor Man" start in 2012
San Diego, CA (July 21, 2011)—At San Diego Comic-Con today, IDW Publishing announced another impressive expansion of the company's partnership with King Features to bring POPEYE back to comic books. IDW's POPEYE comics will offer all-new adventures with this famous character and his friends, including Olive Oyl, Bluto, Wimpy and Swee'Pea. The monthly POPEYE series will be edited by IDW's co-founder and chief executive officer, Ted Adams.
Created by Elzie Crisler Segar in January 1929, Popeye the Sailor Man quickly became one of the most popular and enduring comics characters of all time. In addition to headlining his own comic strip for over eighty years, Popeye has also been featured in television cartoons, video games, live action movies and countless merchandise.
"I grew up reading Segar's Popeye and we'll be bringing his sensibility to our new series," said Adams. "We'll be announcing our all-star creative team as SDCC, and plan to launch in early 2012."
All-New Popeye Comics Debut in April
Acclaimed creator Roger Langridge to write series
San Diego, CA (January 18, 2012)—IDW Publishing today announced that comic industry star Roger Langridge will write the company's all-new POPEYE comic series, which will debut in April 2012. Expanding their partnership with King Features to include new material, IDW's POPEYE comics will offer all-new adventures with the famous "Sailor Man" and his friends, including Olive Oyl, Bluto, Wimpy and Swee' Pea. Joining Langridge to bring Popeye back to comics is rising-star artist Bruce Ozella. The monthly POPEYE series will be co-edited by IDW's co-founder and chief executive officer, Ted Adams and renowned comics expert Craig Yoe.
"I grew up reading Segar's Popeye and we'll be bringing his sensibility to our new series," said Adams. "Especially now with our all-star creative team, I'm really looking forward to launching this series in April."
Throughout his more than twenty years in the comics industry, Langridge has garnered critical and fan acclaim for his work on an impressive list of projects, including the Harvey Award-winning Muppet Show Comic Book (Boom! Studios) and Thor: The Mighty Avenger (Marvel Comics).
"Ever since I was a kid, the two cartoonists who have had the biggest influence on me have been Carl Barks and E.C. Segar, so getting a chance to write Popeye is quite a thrill," said Langridge. "I'm especially pleased that IDW have decided to go with a Segar-flavored interpretation. As much as I like some of the later versions of the character, for me, it's those early strips where the magic really happened. Just as well Segar drew everybody with big feet, because Bruce and I have some enormous shoes to fill!"
Created by Elzie Crisler Segar in January 1929, Popeye the Sailor Man quickly became one of the most popular and enduring comics characters of all time. In addition to headlining his own comic strip for over eighty years, Popeye has also been featured in television cartoons, video games, live action movies and countless merchandise.
POPEYE #1 debuts in April, featuring a cover from Bruce Ozella, and a rare incentive cover from Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Jules Feiffer.
Brian Truitt wrote:With his one eye, bulbous nose, sour grimace and ever-present pipe, Popeye would never be confused with Brad Pitt in the looks department.
That ugly mug, though, is part of the enduring appeal of the ageless sailor man for Eisner-nominated comics writer Roger Langridge, and doing a new Popeye original comic — the first in more than 30 years — was definitely an "ofker" he couldn't "refyousk."
"Popeye, whatever else you might say about him, never had the handicap of cuteness holding him back," Langridge says of the unlikely cartoon and comics star of the 1930s.
Debuting Wednesday, IDW's Popeye book finds Langridge and a host of artists such as up-and-comer Bruce Ozella (who illustrates the first issue) and Tom Nelly are crafting the latest adventures of spinach-loving Popeye, his girl Olive Oyl, baby Swee'Pea, bully Bluto and hamburger-loving scamp Wimpy.
Under the guidance of IDW co-founder Ted Adams and comics historian Craig Yoe, Popeye will draw influence mainly from the original strips created in 1929 by Elzie Crisler Segar. The self-contained stories in each issue will be longer than those first Popeye strips that were part of Thimble Theatre, Langridge says, and in his first issue, Popeye and crew venture to Jeep Island to find a potential mate for Eugene the Jeep.
Lanridge has been " wallowing in the history" of Popeye over the years, he says, and it's one of the reasons why he was chosen to be the man to script Popeye in the 21st century. "Craig has been great in basically trusting me to know most of this stuff already."
A British writer, Langridge has been doing his homework on the sailor with the oversized forearms since he was little, growing up on the Fleischer Studios theatrical cartoons that originally ran from 1933 to 1957.
He didn't become an ardent fan until he was 10, when he read a Popeye chapter in the book All in Color for a Dime in the late 1970s. Langridge had become a bit obsessed with the character by 1980, when Robert Altman's Popeye was released with Robin Williams in the title role. Although the film was considered a flop, it put the sailor back into pop culture, and Langridge devoured all the collected strips with all the gusto of a booming tank tattoo on a bicep.
While Langridge knows the character well, he concedes he's still grappling with Popeye's distinct speech patterns and vocabulary, where words like "horsh," "suspishkous" and "ettitkkik" (that's Popeye-speak for "etiquette," by the way) are common.
"There are so many idiosyncrasies to navigate," Langridge says. "Yet, on the other hand, you can't make it too eccentric or it won't read smoothly. So it's a bit of a tightrope, and one I will probably fall off of fairly regularly."
He's not consciously writing anything in a contemporary way, but Popeye's sweetie actually seems to be a pretty modern woman in Langridge's series. The foundations Segar had in the strip were actually forward-looking to begin with, he says, and Segar's Olive Oyl was "a much more capable, strong-willed and — dare I say — violent individual than the soppy perpetual victim of the Fleischer cartoons."
Segar's work has a timeless quality, Langridge adds, "set in an environment that never really seems to be tied down to any particular era. So I've had to monkey with things very little in order to make it seem as if the stories are happening in some kind of 'now.' "
One of Langridge's favorites so far, though, happens to be J. Wellington Wimpy, the man who "will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today" and is one of comics' all-time great creations, says the cartoonist, who is writing and drawing Boom! Studios' Snarked! and penning a story for Archaia's next Jim Henson's Storyteller anthology.
"Writing Wimpy is an absolute joy. He's such a complex, layered individual. While you never doubt that his heart is basically in the right place — to a given value of 'right' — he consistently lets everyone down for his own selfish ends. He can talk his way out of literally anything, and make the person he's tricking out of his next meal feel like a heel for not doing it sooner. And his use of language is glorious!"
Langridge plans on including many of Segar's characters — the second issue features the return of Willy Wormwood, the first Thimble Theatre villain back in 1919, and will be the first meeting between him and Popeye. (Willy was written out of the strip before 1929.) Also, fans will be seeing Poopdeck Pappy, Alice the Goon, King Blozo, Oscar, Rough-House and other usual suspects.
The writer has been asked not to add new folks to that sizable supporting cast, he says, but there will be one-offs "who can wander off into the sunset at the end, and if nobody ever sees them again it'll be no big deal — though, of course, if anybody else uses them in the future, I'll be enormously flattered. Not holding my breath, mind you."
Cans of spinach made Popeye "strong to the finish" — as the old theme song goes — and they'll also be making appearances in the new series, although not as much as some might expect.
Langridge is sticking to the Segar stories as much possible, where Popeye would often chow down, but the original creator never used spinach in the way as the old Fleischer cartoons. In those, it was almost a deus ex machina, where a well-timed snack often gave Popeye the powerful "muskles" he needed to save the day.
Still, Langridge says Popeye will be eating a ton of the stuff. "It's such a huge part of the Popeye myth. We just won't be showing it as a magical thing that gives him super powers for 10 minutes."
These days, guys usually have to hit the gym to get the same effect Popeye had with a trip to the canned-vegetable aisle. But he still has a lot of traits that Langridge thinks make him very relatable as an everyman, from his complete lack of pretention to his willingness to take a stand.
"These are universal qualities that don't ever really go out of fashion," the writer says. "At the same time, there's his sheer bizarreness — how many other pop-culture icons can be said to be ugly, one-eyed, tattooed, with multiple speech impediments and a vegetable fetish?"
I can't think of a more appropriate writer than Roger Langridge to take on the newest (miniseries) comic book incarnation of E.C. Segar's sailor man, and Bruce Ozella's artwork for this issue is very much in the Segarian mode. (The regular cover's a cute homage to Action Comics #1; the variant is a Jules Feiffer sketch, which is a good idea too.) Langridge, in his formidable writer/artist capacity, also has Snarked! #7 out this week, continuing his wildly charming (and not entirely un-Segar-like) take on Lewis Carroll's creations.

Maggette out for three weeks; Ross and Thornton game-time decisions. Mobley not quite 100%.
So much for the Clippers' depth at the 3. My assumption is that [a] Sam and Knight/Dickau will see some time together in the backcourt, with Mobley and Patterson out on the wing covering Anthony. [b] Davis and Williams will get some time on the block, with Thomas moving over to the 3 when Anthony sits [which isn't very often]. Either way, this amounts to very bad news. Denver will sag, which will make this terrific interior defensive team even tougher.
It gets to a point when any solace you can take away from "well, this will give some younger players time to develop" is secondary to the general unwatchability you have to endure as a viewer.

Mother's Day. It's just around the corner. There are many who will celebrate it with bittersweet memories of their mothers who are no longer here. Others are fortunate enough to be able to spend the holiday with their moms.
I am one of those still blessed to have my mother here with me. Well, she's not here, but she's still here...if you get what I mean. She doesn't live here; she lives in North Georgia.
When I think back over the course of my life, there's one constant thread...the love of my mother.
Last week was a busy one for law enforcement and a sad one for several families who had to bury loved ones. It happens all too frequently in our state and in our nation. But I suppose I am most bothered by some of the comments people make about Gadsden County. It appears that some of our neighbors are chomping at the bit and waiting for a tragedy to befall our community so they can take pot-shots at us.
The most troubling and insulting comment came from someone who wrote: "Let's bulldoze Gadsden County and start from scratch."
It's May already...and summer's just around the corner. When I realized that, it got me to thinking about all the things I grew up doing during those blissful months without the burden of homework or school.
When I was a kid, the thing to do in the summertime was to go to the pool at the American Legion. It cost a dollar to get in, and there was a snack bar where you could purchase a small cup of soda and choose from a number of snack foods.
This weekend we welcome visitors to our city for the annual QuincyFest. People come from throughput Georgia and Florida to hear good blues and eat fantastic barbecue. A lot of local people put in many volunteer hours throughout the year to make the event a success. It has been a success. And the event is getting even better.
I am truly disappointed in President Barack Obama.
Just 3 weeks shy of the National Day of Prayer, set for the first Thursday in May each year, rumors circulated that Obama had decided he didn't want to "offend anyone," so he canceled it. He didn't cancel the National Day of Prayer, and was expected to sign a proclamation to uphold the tradition. He did, however, cancel the White House service in observance of the day.
When I found out last Wednesday that Corrections Corporation of America no longer had the contract to operate Gadsden Correctional facility at Gretna, I felt as if an old friend told me he was moving to another city. I had become so accustomed to the people being there and calling on them to support the community and attending the quarterly Community Relations Committee meetings.
After working with and covering the Havana Relay for Life, I found myself wondering about the people who commit to working so hard on similar events. Beyond the obvious reasons, I wondered what makes people commit to such involvement.
Then I began to think about how we can be involved in making the world a better place on a daily basis. And that started me to thinking about random acts of kindness.
I have to admit, I got a little homesick last week. It was Masters week in Augusta, after all, and I was missing all that goes with it. I even missed the joy of yelling at out-of-towners who don't know where to go and then turn around in all the wrong places.
I miss seeing the grounds, with all the azaleas and dogwoods, and the green, green, very green grass. Oh, you can see azaleas and dogwoods other places, but they're just not the same as those at the Masters.
When there is a story out there you have to go and get it in order to explain it to the reader.
Last week I was having lunch and Alex Boques, whom I've known for several years, came over to my table and said, that he would like to ask me something. He wanted to know if I knew how the city decides where to put stop signs. I know where Alex lives and I also knew that a stop sign had been placed there a few weeks ago.
I had a visitor stop by to see me the other day. He was quite upset that the school his grandchildren attend "never makes the paper."
He went on to tell me that there are very often photos from a handful of our schools, but not all schools are represented. He wanted to know why. I explained it to him, but I figure there are probably lots of other folks wondering the same thing.

Put me in the "let's get rid of Shawn Thornton" camp finally. I have been resisting this because I am one of those who does feel there is a need to have at least one heavy in the lineup. Last night, however, was the final straw for me.
It is painfully obvious that ST can no longer fill that role. This season he has either avoided dropping the mitts like the plague or, when forced to do so, clearly tries to end it as quick as possible by tying up the opponent and calling in the refs or even "tripping" a few seconds in. The only engagement he looked even remotely interested in was against Barch, his own personal punching bag.
He is clearly no longer capable of fullfilling his duties and it is becoming embarrassing to watch.
Please hang em up!!

On 27th December, the iconic,
art-deco inspired Midland Hotel held its first 1930's style dinner dance
since it reopened in June 2008.
The dinner dance was based on the original format of the dances held at the Midland in its 1930's
heyday, when it was visited by society figures such as Noel Coward and Wallis
The evening commenced with a champagne reception in the hotel lobby where guests gazed at
the Eric Gill artwork, including the ceiling medallion of Neptune and Triton and
the Odysseus mural, which was famously stolen and recovered in 1999.
This was followed by a sumptuous 3-course dinner in the Eric Gill suite, which houses
his famous map of North West England mural.
The evening rounded off with dancing until midnight to the High Society Band.
Being the first of many new events to be hosted at the historic Midland Hotel, the 1930's dinner dance was a great success.
Friday 22nd January the Midland will play host to a weekend of mystery and entertainment. Help us solve a murder mystery performed by the After Dark
Theatre Company while you enjoy a 3 course candlelit dinner.
The mystery theme continues on Saturday 23rd January at our Masked Dinner Dance
with entertainment once again from the fantastic High Society Jazz Band.
For weekend and individual event booking enquires telephone: 01524 428 370

Price City Council members approved a motion that will see improvements - including more parking stalls, new horseshoe pits and a basketball court - made to the south side of Washington Park.
The council approved a 4-0 motion authorizing the city to begin the process of making the upgrades to the park's area along 400 North. Mayor Joe Piccolo was not present at the meeting and the council appointed Layne Miller to serve as Mayor Pro-tem for the meeting.
The improvements to the park will be made using ZAP (Zoo, Arts and Parks) funding. To get the funding for the work, the city made budget adjustments including a transfer of $65,000 from the Creekview playground and trail fund along with $50,000 from the Dino Mine Park fund.
Those two funds will be directed to the Washington Park project, which was originally budgeted for $337,000. The additional funds will push the total to $452,000, which has been approved by the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) committee.
The $50,000 transfer from the Dino Mine Park was previously earmarked for a second set of bathrooms at the park, according to Gary Sonntag, Price City Public Works Director.
While the subject of the tennis courts being fixed or completely replaced has been discussed by the city council on many occasions, improving other parts of the park has also been on the radar for some time. The council has previously noted the usage of both the basketball court and the horseshoe pits by the public during the warmer months of the year as a reason to make improvements to the amenities at the park.
The new horseshoe pits will be built along 400 North while the new basketball court will be built near the current court. A concrete pad may be placed in the area between the basketball courts and the new horseshoe pits which would allow for bleachers to be put in place for spectators to use, Sonntag said.
The 50 stall parking lot would be built near the Washington Park pavilion where an old shuffleboard and volleyball court used to be. The new parking spaces will allow for those using the basketball courts and the horseshoe pits to park there as well as visitors to the park during big events throughout the year.
Sonntag said he anticipates that the improvements to the park could begin sometime this summer.

More information about Windows Update
Windows Update helps keep your computer up-to-date and secure by downloading and installing the latest security and other updates from Microsoft. Windows Update determines which updates apply to your computer.
Microsoft periodically makes software updates available to users of Windows and other Microsoft software. These include updates that improve reliability and performance, updates that provide new protections against malware and other potentially unwanted software, and upgrades to Windows features. To improve the performance or the reliability of hardware components on the computer, Microsoft may also provide updates to device drivers that are supplied by the computer manufacturer.
If you turn on Windows Update, software components that are directly related to Windows Update will have to be updated occasionally on your computer. These updates must be performed before Windows Update can check for required updates or before it can install other updates. These required updates fix errors, provide ongoing improvements, and maintain compatibility with the Microsoft servers that support Windows Update. If you disable Windows Update, you will not receive these updates.
Windows Update is configured to install updates automatically when you select the recommended option during Windows Out Of Box Experience (OOBE) Setup. You can also turn on Windows Update by selecting one of following settings in the Automatic Updates item in Control Panel:
The updates to Windows Update itself typically do the following: Address feedback from customers, improve compatibility, service performance and reliability, and enable new service capabilities. When the Windows Update server is updated, a corresponding client update is typically required. During an agent self-update operation, Windows Update Agent files may be added, modified, or replaced. For example, Windows Update Agent files that help display the user experience or that determine whether updates apply to a particular system may be added. This behavior occurs when a system is set to automatically check for available updates. This does not occur when automatic updates are turned off. For example, this behavior does not occur if you select Never check for updates in Windows Vista and Windows 7 or if you select Turn off Automatic Updates in Windows XP.
Information for administrators of managed environments
Administrators will receive the latest version of the Windows Update Agent for deployment through Windows Server Update Services (WSUS).

In the American Declaration of Independence, the Founding Fathers stated that "Governments are instituted among Men" to secure the fundamental rights of the people, and that governments derive their "just powers from the consent of the governed."
But now, a clear majority of the American people distrust the federal government and believe that it "threatens their own personal rights and freedoms."
Pew Research Center for the People and the Press has tracked public opinion regarding trust in the federal government across the span of several presidential administrations, and the level of distrust has steadily grown. In a January 31 release accompanying the latest poll results ("Majority Says the Federal Government Threatens Their Personal Rights"), the Pew Research Center noted that an overwhelming majority of citizens operate on the assumption that the federal government will not do the "right thing":
The survey finds continued widespread distrust in government. About a quarter of Americans (26%) trust the government in Washington to do the right thing just about always or most of the time; 73% say they can trust the government only some of the time or volunteer that they can never trust the government.…
Just 20% of Americans say they are basically content with the federal government; 58% say they are frustrated while 19% say they are angry. For the most part, these views have changed little during Obama's presidency. However, the percentage saying they are content with government sank to a low of just 11% in August 2011, following protracted negotiations between the president and congressional leaders over raising the debt ceiling. The same survey found that the percentage expressing anger at government had reached 26%, and just 19% said they trusted the government at least most of the time.
The poll emphasizes that Americans do not view the federal government as an abstract threat, but as a concrete danger to their liberties; even 34 percent of self-described "liberal Democrats" view the federal government as threatening their "personal rights and freedoms." And a majority of Americans share that assessment:

I don't know about anyone else, but the florida FCAT has held me hostage for the last 10 years. My child is going into 10th grade this year, and of course the FCAT is going with her once again. The good news is, if she passes it this year, we'll be home free. The bad news is, despite working at it over the last 10 years, she has gone up and down. She'll pass one part and fail the other, or fail both parts. Does anyone have any suggestions that they have experienced that really worked. We've tried books and writing. Getting her to read is like pulling teeth and I am trying hard not to totally turn her off from reading by waging a battle. ANY suggestions please?

Permanent Representation of Baden-Wuerttemberg in Brussels/Belgium
Recently, the permanent representation of the federal state Baden-Wuerttemberg at the EU in Brussels has been equipped with audio products from beyerdynamic. At the end of April the "European Space Technology Transfer forum" took place in the permanent representation. The forum was organised by the German Aerospace Center (DLR).
The rooms correspond to a small convention centre and can be used for all kinds of events due to movable walls. There are very often several small events at the same time or big events where the rooms are used as a whole or for different subject areas.The rooms have to be converted partly during the breaks. As the participants of the events are mostly from different countries, a simultaneous interpretation system for a maximum of four languages is also needed.
Conference systems from beyerdynamic are ideal for the above mentioned application. For flexible use the MCW-D 200 discussion has been installed with 40 microphone units. The MCW-D 200 discussion system features an extensive product range for most individual applications reflecting our long experience in the conference market. As microphone units the MCW-D 2071 (delegate unit) and the MCW-D 2073 (chairman) have been selected.
For simultaneous interpreting applications the SIS system with 4 dual consoles (each for 2 interpreters) is used for a maximum of 4 foreign languages. The participants can listen to their language directly via the microphone units of the discussion system or via 200 mobile receivers of the TTS 300 system from beyerdynamic. A 4-channel wireless Opus 800 system is used for wireless presentations with beltpack transmitters and neckworn microphones.
Special Features:
As the beyerdynamic system is completely mobile, the transmitted audio signal of the existing media system has to be wireless. To achieve this, a transmitter of the new IMS 900 in-ear monitoring system has been installed into the existing system and a receiver module of the Opus 800 system has been set to receive this signal.
beyerdynamic products being used:
MCW-D 200 – Digital Wireless Conference System
SIS – Simultaneous Interpretation System
TTS 300 – Interpretation and Tour Guide System
Opus 800 – Modular Wireless System
IMS 900 – In-Ear Monitoring System

Consultants provide one-on-one conferencing directed toward a stronger comprehension of the writing process. The writer may be seeking ideas, working on a first draft, or doing the final editing. Throughout the conference, the consultant makes sure that the writer is in control of the paper and thinking independently. In pursuing these goals, consultants may raise questions about thesis statements, voice and tone, organization, and development. Once these areas have been discussed, consultants move on to help writers with issues of style, punctuation, grammar, spelling, and documentation.

PAWTUCKET — Each holiday season, the Pawtucket native who has successfully turned himself into "Santa to the Stars" undergoes another change and becomes "Babbo Natale," a different, more spiritual type of Christmas figure that is revered in Italy and other parts of Europe.
For over three decades, Brady White has earned a highly successful living as a professional Santa Claus model and actor. Despite the recent media controversy about what "Santa" really looks like, White's snowy hair and matching beard, bright blue eyes and kindly demeanor still evokes most people's traditional image of Santa Claus from story books and movies. He was even inducted into the Santa Claus Hall of Fame in 2011.
Yet, while he earns his salary largely from the catalogs, advertisements, TV commercials and live appearances that push the commercial side of Christmas, White talks a lot these days about the religious aspect of the holiday, and the way that his Santa Claus figure, Babbo Natale, is received in the little village of San Giovanni Rotondo, where he lives part of the year.
Of course, Brady White is not ready to hang up his A-list Hollywood credentials just yet. He's still having fun posing with Nicholas Cage, John Travolta, Cher, Madonna, and other famous faces (and their children), modeling for high-end retailers such as Neiman Marcus, Lord & Taylor and Cartier, and playing Santa at the annual Christmas bashes at the Kardashians' home and star-studded Bel Air Country Club.
However, the Santa with the Lloyds of London-insured beard and over 60 custom outfits (including one of mink) finds himself drawn more frequently to the tranquil, more reflective pace of his second home across the Atlantic. White's mother was born in Italy, so he enjoys dual citizenship. He still owns a home in Pawtucket, but his villa in San Giovanni Rotondo, a village in southern Italy with a population of under 27,000, is the place that is most dear to his heart.
White notes that San Giovanni Rotondo was the home to "Padre Pio" or Saint Pio of Pietrelcina, a Capuchin monk who was believed to carry the stigmata (the wounds of Christ) for 50 years. St. Pio , who died on Sept. 23, 1968, has millions of devotees from around the world, and the village built the Padre Pio Pilgrimage Church to honor him in 2004.
White hosts the only English TV program on the Tele Radio Padre Pio network, called "Hello from San Giovanni Rotondo." which can be found on YouTube. This September 23, White gave commentary in English for the live, worldwide broadcast special of the vigil mass remembering Padre Pio on the EWTN network, in connection with the Tele Radio Padre Pio network, which he counts among his proudest moments.
This Jolly Old Elf has also met and shaken hands with Pope John Paul II, and witnessed the last Apostolic Blessing of Pope Benedict before he retired, both of which were extremely moving experiences for him. He says, "When I'm in San Giovanni Rotondo, I can't go down the street without people coming up to me and saying "Babbo Natale!" and touching my beard or taking my hand and kissing it."
White didn't start out with the intention of being typecast as the "every man's" St. Nick. While growing up in Pawtucket, he attended St. Joseph's School on Walcott Street, spent one year at St. Raphael Academy and graduated from Tolman High School. He went on to what was Roger Williams Junior College and then headed to New York City to study acting at the Neighborhood Playhouse.
By day, the fledgling actor earned money working in Sak's 5th Avenue's shoe department, where he once waited on Jacqueline Kennedy, accompanied by her children, Caroline and John, Jr. From there, White was hired as a junior sales executive at the upscale Bonwit Teller department store, and continued trying to land acting roles.
White then decided to try his luck in Los Angeles, where the paying acting jobs were still few and far between. "I had the greatest landlady. She would allow me to pay the rent when I had the money. I've always remembered that," he noted. "Those were lean years."
Then, White took a job as Santa Claus at a mall in Beverly Hills. He so impressed his young visitors that he was voted "Best Santa in Southern California" in a Los Angeles Times newspaper poll. "It just turned around from there," he stated.
White's big break came after he was hired for an advertising photo shoot for the luxury retailer Neiman Marcus. He posed in the snowy Swiss Alps with a beautiful woman modeling a white chinchilla coat, and the photo made the inside cover of the magazine Vanity Fair. "That's when my life changed," he says.
After more than three decades as Santa, White continues to be in demand, and is in the midst of his busy season. This year, he kicked off the lighting of the famous Lord & Taylor Christmas windows at the flagship Manhattan store, and was prominently featured in the Neiman Marcus Christmas Book launch. Here, he was photographed showing a 25-carat DeBeers diamond valued at $1.8 million and sitting astride Indian Larry's "Wild Child" motorcycle in his special "Biker Santa" leather outfit.
White was then heading to the West Coast for his usual round of appearances there (including the annual Kardashian family Christmas party), followed by his seasonal visit to Italy.
White has always been one for reminding people of the religious "reason for the season" and made a YouTube video called "Santa's Wrap" that gets this point across (while still making Santa appear hip enough to rap). He is angered about the trend in recent years of people who have replaced "Merry Christmas" with the more politically correct greeting of "Happy Holidays," and says he continues to say "Merry Christmas" when participating at parades and public events where he is hired to be Santa Claus.
White says his life as Santa to the Stars has been an interesting one that has led him to places and people he never would have dreamed possible. Even he admits to having been star-struck a few times in his career, recalling some of the show business royalty he met while working at a private nightclub on Sunset Strip. "I once heard Elton John sitting at a piano and playing while Joni Mitchell sang and I can remember thinking in my head, 'I'm from Pawtucket...if my friends could see me now!'" he says, with a twinkle.

Your WhoWhatWearDaily.com editors are one-half military brat (the Hillary half, not the Katherine half), so it was with great glee we noticed armed-forces-influence on the autumnal runways. Trends like interlocking belts over three-quarter length coats seemed very Teddy Roosevelt while double-breasted detailing on everything from sweaters to shoes made us hum the Village People's "In the Navy."
Designers like Givenchy, seen above, did a luxe take on troopwear, but we wanted to outfit our readers with more budget-friendly gear, so nothing shown here costs more than $250 (hooah!). The above pieces feature some of the hallmarks of soldier style, at least as viewed through our thoroughly civilian eyes, and we think they're pretty commanding. Read on for the details of our military-inspired picks...
1. Light Gray Pintucked Blouse
Featuring a pintucked front and three quarter length sleeves, this cotton blouse is neat and ladylike without getting fussy.
2. Anchors Away Enamel Necklace
We couldn't resist this sweet design from the lovely Rachel Leigh. The anchor pendant is on a 17.5" long chain and is handmade, so slight variations are possible.
3. Russian Fur Hat
Fear not, animal lovers, for this furry, Russian-style hat is machine washable!
4. Gray Military Style Coat
We love how the sharp cut of this wool/viscose blend gray coat is feminized with a waist-emphasizing belt.
5. Black Leather Belt
Sophisticated and simple, this crocodile-embossed, black leather belt has a smart gold buckle.
6. Military Style Dress
While the four flap-pockets and button-up placket look quite gentlemanly, the narrow shoulder and slightly fitted waist of this gabardine dress keep it girly.
7. Lace-Up Boot
Frye's Villager Lace-Up Boot in brown leather is both sturdy and saucy.
8. Favorite Fit Herringbone University Trouser
A simple variation of button-front sailor pants, these wool trousers are fully lined (no itching!) and have a timeless, classic cut.
9. Chocolate Leather Gloves
The simple, slip closure buckle at the wrist is classic while the cashmere knit lining is cozy.

Mine rescue teams from 11 coal mines in Utah, Montana, Colorado and New Mexico have converged on the College of Eastern Utah campus to compete in the 34th Annual Rocky Mountain Coal Mine Association contest.
The teams, all specially trained, are testing their skills against each other to demonstrate their proficiency at saving lives and property underground. Rescuers are the ones who go into a mine when everyone else is rushing to get out. They rely on each other and their equipment in rendering first aid, search and rescue, or fighting fires.
The events test each of these skills. First aid teams, for example, must treat a "victim" whose injuries are listed. They must be ready to show how to treat bleeding, broken bones, burns and other injuries - often in combination. Judges observe and keep score.
Other competitors have to troubleshoot and repair rescue equipment such as a breathing apparatus.
The events continue through Thursday, with an awards banquet scheduled Thursday night at the Price Elks Club.

"Works great to prevent sunburn"
I bought this after is was recommended by my farrier because two of my horses had severe sunburn and blisters on their white noses. I add this to their feed throughout the summer and it keeps them from getting burned anymore. It works much better than trying to apply sunblock every day, or keeping a mask with nose guard on them.
"This is THE best supplament you can give a Bay or like mine a Seal Bay horse. You don't have to worry that it will make your horse ""hot"", it doesn't at ALL! The dapples I get on my Seal Bay Gelding in the summer are awesome....in the winter he is a jet black! I've been asked what I would take to sell him.......I just say...""he's WAY too expensive!!"" Yes, it's a bit pricey, but his hoofs are healthy, mane and tail are thick and long and he is in great health! That means more than money to me!! Try it! "
Absolutely amazing! My horse, Apollo, has gotten a teaspoon of this everyday for the past two years and the results are incredible! I love this stuff and I highly Recommend it.
"10 stars effective!"
This stuff is pricey but it really works! It even turned my dark bay mare black. If you have a fading black or just a bay you'd like to have a darker coat give it a shot, it's truly a remarkable product. If you are showing please check rules before use as some shows ban it.

OGDENSBURG The state Office of Mental Health has added Ogdensburg to a list of sites officials will visit to gather input on a plan to reduce inpatient services for the mentally ill and develop a greater variety of outpatient supports.
OMH officials will hold a public listening tour meeting from 10 a.m. to noon May 15 at the Unity Center on the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center campus, 1 Chimney Point Drive.
As part of its push to reduce the number of inpatient mental health beds in the state, OMH on its website points out that New York has far more inpatient psychiatric hospitals than more populous states: 24 hospitals for the states population of roughly 18 million compared to five hospitals in California for its population of roughly 37 million.
The state has so far not proposed that any hospitals close, but Civil Service Employees Association Labor Relations Specialist Edward B. Bud Mulchy said the unions roughly 400 members at the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center are rightfully worried.
We are keeping an eye on it, he said Thursday. They are always concerned when it comes to these political decisions.
He said CSEA will be well represented at the May 15 meeting.

BTW, a question about headsets.
I've noticed some pro's wearing earplug type headphones and large ones (dunno how to call them) simultaneously. Why would they need 2 headsets at a time?

In other words, the huge headphones aren't being used as headphones lol. In some cases they aren't headphones in first place but in others are (sennheisers), still unused.

I've noticed my standard Apple iPhone in ear headphones give better positional sound than a pair of my old Sennheiser HD 580s. I use the Apple's now.
I just ordered the Q701. Hoping it's as good for positional audio as people say. >_>
Gonna have to try in-ear plugs some time, though.
good article!
Cool contribution.
One thing though...
The Benq XL2411t doesn't have 1ms of input lag, nor does the Asus that you previously stated have 2ms of input lag. Those are the response times of the monitor, not the measurement of input lag, which are 2 entirely different things.
There haven't been a sufficient amount of tests on the XL2411T yet because it's brand new, but I suspect the input lag will be rated around 4-8ms of input lag (extraordinary for an LCD), and the asus around 5-8ms of input lag.
Cool, nonetheless.
Awesome information as always. Thanks for this, as well as your instructional videos. A bit bummed to hear you think the Goliathus mat sucks...I have one at home waiting for me along with a Mamba, but it has to be better than the table-tops I've been playing with here on the boat
Of course, any gaming mousepad will be better than a standard office mat.

Keeping Northern New Yorkers living and working in the area is a key concern for residents of Jefferson and Lewis counties, according to a regional economic survey undertaken recently by the Center for Community Studies at Jefferson Community College.
Joel F. LaLone, the centers research coordinator, and Raymond E. Petersen, the centers director, presented the findings of the first biennial Regional Economic Tracking Survey at the October meeting of the Jefferson County Board of Legislators Planning and Development Committee on Tuesday.
The survey found that 80 percent of area residents believe that keeping residents local is very important while only 32 percent are satisfied with the local economys ability to keep college graduates in the area.
According to the survey, in Jefferson County, 43 percent of 18- to 29-year-olds think they will be living in the county five years from now. In Lewis County, that number rises to 86.5 percent.
The difference could be attributed to the large number of young soldiers that are stationed at Fort Drum, though the researchers did not isolate that particular variable in the survey, according to Mr. LaLone.
Residents were asked about their households affiliation with the military and survey results could be cross-tabulated to reflect that information, researchers said.
The availability of early-childhood education also is rated to be of prime concern to economic development.
Four of every five residents 82 percent said that the addition of local child care and preschool services would be key to supporting new local businesses.
Those services were rated above cultural and entertainment facilities, bookstores, restaurants and clothing stores in terms of its ability to support new business.
More than 86 percent of adult residents report having Internet access at their home, according to the survey a number that has climbed steadily since the years when the Center for Community Studies first started measuring it, according to Mr. Petersen.
In 2000, the centers first annual survey estimated that only 56.8 percent of the total population of Jefferson County had an internet connection in their homes.
And local agricultural products were rated highly, with nearly two-thirds 63 percent of residents indicating a satisfaction level of either excellent or good for local businesses that process and/or distribute local agricultural products.
But if staying local is important, residents face challenges in the housing and job markets, according to the economic survey and the centers annual survey, released in June.
Consistent with the centers findings regarding community perceptions about housing, only one-third of participants in the economic survey indicated a satisfaction level of excellent or good on the availability of rental housing in the region.
The centers annual survey revealed that 58 percent of respondents said lack of affordable housing was a major issue and that jobs and the economy were the number one issue for Jefferson County residents.
According to the annual survey, 53 percent of respondents perceived that the availability of good jobs was getting worse, while only 13 percent said it was getting better.
Despite the dismal numbers, researchers noted that dissatisfaction seemed to have stabilized compared with the much higher numbers posted in previous years.
In Lewis County in 2012, no residents surveyed identified the availability of good jobs as excellent, while only 13 percent indicated it was good and 44.2 percent rated it poor.
A small percentage of Jefferson and Lewis residents said they would be interested in starting a business in the near future.
A total of 15.7 percent of Jefferson County residents and 18.6 percent of Lewis County residents said they would have an interest in owning or operating a business in the next three years, according to the survey. Among those who might be interested in owning a business, 4.6 percent are definitely interested in purchasing an existing business or starting their own business, according to the survey.
Though the percentages seem modest, the actual numbers are much more impressive, according to Mr. LaLone.
Projected onto the population of approximately 110,000 adults in the two county region, that 4.6 percent rate of interest suggests that there are 5,000 very interested potential entrepreneurs living locally, the survey said.
More than three-fourths of all interested entrepreneurs 76.3 percent said that a business incubator would make them more likely to start a business and nearly three-fourths of potential business owners plan to start a business that would employ six or more people.
These responses make the idea of creating an incubator unignorable, according to Mr. LaLone.
Approximately one-third of participants in the economic survey have completed at least one type of specialized or technical training. The two most commonly reported types of specialized training were health care and construction, according to the survey.
58 percent of respondents said they felt underemployed, according to the survey.
To conduct the survey, JCC statistics students completed 684 telephone interviews on the evenings of April 3 to 9 under the guidance of research staff.
The entire survey is available at http://wdt.me/4dRw4X.
Following the presentation, the Board of Legislators held a special meeting to set a public hearing on the tentative budget for fiscal year 2014. The hearing will be held at 7 p.m. on Nov. 12 in the Board of Legislators Chambers on the second floor of the Historic County Courthouse, 195 Arsenal St.
