White County Highway Superintendent, Steve Brooke, presented his 2010 year-end-report to the Commissioners requesting signatures. SIGNED AND APPROVED
Mr. Brooke also informed the Commissioners that the State lowered his budget $229,000 for this year. He said that this really makes his budget inoperable.
Commissioner Burton said that Gordon Denton, White Food Pantry, contacted him asking if the food pantry could have access to the wooded lot south of the food pantry and turn it into a parking lot. They are having a lot of problems right now with people parking on other people's property and blocking their driveways.
After a short discussion on who owns the property, the consensus was that it is owned by the Department of Natural Resources. Councilman Bruce Clear said that he knew the person from DNR that would be in charge of this. He said that he would contact him and see if the area can be turned into a parking lot.
White County Area Plan Director, Joe Rogers, presented the following rezoning petition.
Rezoning Petition # 988
Brent & Erica Blume are requesting to rezone 2.6 acres to an A-1, General Agriculture District, to an R-R, Rural Residential. The property is located at 7021 W. 300 South, Reynolds.
The request was properly advertised and the APC held a public hearing on May 9, 2011. At that time, the APC voted 7 yes and 0 no to recommend this rezoning request to the Commissioners.
· Commissioner Schmierer made a motion to approve Rezoning Petition #988 rezoning 2.6 acres located at 7021 W. 300 South, Reynolds, from an A-1 to an R-R, seconded by Commissioner Burton. Vote: Unanimous
Area Plan Director, Joe Roger, submitted a proposed ordinance amending several chapters in the White County Zoning Ordinance. The APC held a public hearing on May 10, 2010, discussing these amendments. On May 9, 2011, the APC voted to recommend these amendments to the County Commissioners by a vote of 7 yes and 0 no.
The following amendments were presented:
Chapter 4 - Section 4.4 Temporary Uses Section
Mr. Rogers proposed an amendment to Section 4.4 Temporary Uses.
He explained that the current Temporary Uses section in the Zoning Ordinance (4.4) provides a list of temporary uses permitted in "Appendix A". However, when he goes to "Appendix A: Official Schedule of Uses" he is finding that not all of the temporary uses are listed. He said that he is having a conflict on whether or not something is permitted because the language is not consistent.
Chapter 14 Definitions
Mr. Rogers explained that they're also dealing with a lot of the temporary uses not being defined correctly or clarified in Chapter 14, Definitions. He said that this amendment proposal cleans up the entire Temporary Uses chapter, the Appendix A: Official Schedule of Uses, and Chapter 14: Definitions, to where they are all compatible and consistent with each other.
Chapter 12 - Section 12.11 Improvement Location Permit
Mr. Rogers said that this section was also impacted because there are structures or uses that were not always listed in the ordinance as being acceptable in this section. This area has also been cleaned up.
Appendix A – Schedule of Uses
Mr. Rogers said that they also went through the Schedule of Uses chart and made recommendations to the APC on certain things that are not permitted but are permitted with a special exception. An example would be a candy store. He said that there are certain areas that are a little too strict and they have gone through it and eliminated some of the special exception requirements to allow more activities to occur.
· Commissioner Burton made a motion to approve Ordinance No. 11-05-16-03 amending Chapter 4, Chapter 12, Chapter 14 and Appendix A, in the White County Zoning Ordinance as presented, seconded by Commissioner Schmierer. Vote: Unanimous
WHEREAS, the White County Area Plan Commission has initiated and prepared this ordinance to amend the White County Zoning Ordinance pursuant to IC 36-7-4-602© and IC 36-7-4-607;
WHEREAS, the White County Area Plan Commission has reported that it held a public hearing concerning this ordinance on May 10, 2010, after timely notification of the hearing was given by publication in the Herald Journal, Monticello, Indiana on or before the 30th day of April, 2010 as required by IC 36-7-4-604;
WHEREAS, the White County Area Plan Commission has reported that it paid reasonable regard to the factors enumerated in IC 36-7-4-603 in consideration of the ordinance and determination or a recommendation to be made to the legislative body of White County;
WHEREAS, the White County Area Plan Commission has certified this ordinance to the legislative body with a recommendation by majority vote in favor of adoption pursuant to IC 36-7-4-603 before acting on this ordinance;
WHEREAS, the legislative body recognizes that certain land uses, by their very nature, require restricted size of signage. Because the restrictions are a necessary aspect of zoning use to the public, it is deemed that such restrictions on signage are not detrimental to the public safety and welfare.
WHEREAS, the legislative body has determined that this ordinance should be adopted without amendment as certified by the White County Area Plan Commission pursuant to IC 36-7-4-607; therefore,
CHAPTER 4 Use Classifications and Provisions
Subchapter 4.4 Temporary Uses

Commissioner Heimlich presented an amendment from American Structurepoint, Project Engineer, amending the original cost of the engineering contract for the Wolcott Corridor project. An increase of $11,350 is for additional services to be performed by an engineer for the Final Design Phase services. The original cost was $113,650 now raising it to $125,000. The other additional cost of $33,800 is for appraisal services. This now raises the project cost to $510,200.
· Commissioner Burton made a motion to approve Amendment #1 to the engineering contract with American Structurepoint, seconded by Commissioner Schmierer. Vote: Unanimous
White County Attorney, George Loy, announced that the time is 9:00 a.m. and the time has expired to submit a bid for Bridge Project #229, Moots Creek, in Brookston, Indiana. White County Attorney opened the following bids submitted for the project:

President Denny Carter Gary Hendryx Denny Cain
Raymond "Butch" Kramer Jim Annis Bruce Clear

Total Operating expenses $2.5 million $10.2 million

Cash Position as of 4/30/2011 $7.4 million
Mrs. Long reported that they had a $215,000 principal bond payment in April, which now brings down the principal on the bond to $22.9 million, plus a $3 million swap liability, making the total $25.9 million.
Mrs. Long also presented the Community Benefit Analysis which is a report that shows the financial partnership with the community.

· Medicaid Shortfall - What they are allowed to charge and what Medicaid actually reimburses for the service. $6.4 million

White County Building Inspector, Dave Anderson, reported that there were 39 permits issued in April. Five of them were for new homes. Out of the five, four of them were manufactured homes.
White County Economic Development Director Connie Neininger presented her Director's Report for April 2011.
Connie reported the following:
· EnXco is still working on land contacts and they are close to 5,000 land proposals.
· Have not heard from Horizon on a start date for Phase 5.
· Town of Monon is working a Farmers Market.
· Girtz Industries is up to 200 employees (normal is 50 to 60). Looking to expand in the near future.
· Networking Breakfast was held and they had 43 in attendance.
Wolcott Corridor
Mrs. Neininger is hoping that American Structurepoint is on schedule to send bid packets to EDA for their review before they are publicized.
White County Learning Lab Director, Suzy Karberg, reported that they have been over at the Annex building now for one year and things are going very well. They have served about 100 students so far, which is about the same as last year. They still have room for about 50 more students.
Mrs. Karberg said that 10% of their students are over 40 years of age and the other 90% are 17 to 40 years of age. Over the last six weeks they have lost a large amount of students because they now have jobs.
Joe Crivello, organizer of the annual "Proud to be an American" boat parade, discussed their appearance before the Commissioners' in January on how they would like to boost the economic impact of tourism throughout the county by extending the tourist season. At that time, they also presented a proposal on increasing the innkeeper's tax. The proposal was to make an appointment of an unpaid, five member board, to oversee the project and give permission to move forward with legislation to increase the tax rate from 3% to 5%. The 2% funds will be used to promote the tourism season throughout the county.
Mr. Crivello reported that since then, Senator Brandt Hershman and State Representative Don Lehe drove this to make it happen and the bill has now been signed by the Governor.
Mr. Crivello said that the passing of this bill enables the County Council to now put the tax increase into effect. Mr. Crivello presented a copy of the bill to the Council and Commissioners' and requested the Council to move forward with the tax increase.
Commissioner Schmierer discussed the annual events that are held in White County, Idaville Tractor Pull for example, and the increase in tourism that they would bring if we could increase the prize money to give away. He said that this is what this money is meant for.
Commissioner Heimlich asked the County Attorney George Loy to draft up the necessary documents to allow an increase for the innkeeper's tax and present it at the next joint meeting in June.
Shannon Mattix, North White School Board President, discussed a loan for their tax anticipation warrants.
Mr. Mattix presented packets detailing the history of the North White tax anticipation loan history. Over the last ten years, North White school district had to pay $766,396.97 in interest fees. This year they do have a loan for $1.79 million at 2.9% interest.
Mr. Mattix asked if the county would loan the school corporation the money out of the landfill funds. He said that they would pay a .5 percent more than what the county is making from the bank annually. If this could be done, he said that they will save the North White taxpayers $46,560.00 from interest fees. They are highly capable of tracking the loan money and they would submit monthly reports. They would borrow the money January 1 and have it paid back by December 31, or sooner. He requested the Council to vote on this before July so they can plan accordingly.
Councilman Kramer said that this makes a lot of sense to him. He said that he will consider it favorably, especially when it's such a short term loan. He mentioned that the county has issued a loan out in the past to the TLRSD and the county has also denied request for loans. He felt that the county has not been consistent.
Commissioner Schmierer said that he's not against it totally, but feels that the county needs to set parameters on who they're going to loan the money to.
Commissioner Heimlich felt the same as Schmierer. He asked how they could be fair to everybody that has gotten themselves in a bind.
Councilman Annis asked what would happen if every county school came and requested a loan. That could be $10 million from the county.
Commissioner Burton said that his concern is that you are also opening the door for cities and town's to come and request a loan.
Councilmember Kramer and Annis discussed that they do not want to get into the banking business but felt that they could write something up that would alleviate opening up the "flood gates" to everyone wanting to borrow money. Discussion was made to just setting the parameters to education only.
Councilman Cain said, "It sounds like the county has a lot of money, but we've had to cut everyone's budget for the last three years now. There has been no pay raises for the employees, and now the State has cut money from the County Highway. We're not taking care of ourselves first."
Commissioner Heimlich said that he would like to know what the likelihood of other school corporations would be on wanting to take advantage of this and at what level.
The Commissioners and Council agreed to table their decision until the next joint meeting in June. This will give them time to think about what parameters need to be set if they would entertain this request.
At this time, the Council members adjourned to their own meeting room.
Don Ward, Engineer, appeared before the Commissioners before their meeting was over and said that he did look over all of the bids that were submitted for Bridge Project #229 and they all did meet the bid specification requirements.
· Commissioner Schmierer made a motion to approve and accept the low bid from Jack Isom Construction Company, Inc., for $469,928.80 for Bridge Project #229, Moots Creek in Brookston, seconded by Commissioner Burton. Vote: Unanimous
Commissioner Burton said that he has collected three bids for resealing the seams on the roof of the courthouse. Quotes were submitted from the following:
MRA Contractors $ 6,500.00
Deno Roofing $ 5,800.00
Reid Roofing Co., Inc. $11,570.00
Commissioner Burton said that Deno Roofing would be the low bid, but with past experience on the Annex roof he would like to award the bid to MRA Contractors. Mr. Burton said that they had continual leaks at the Annex Building and when they requested the work to be done by MRA Contractors, they haven't had a leak since then. He said that they are very pleased with their work.
· Commissioner Burton made a motion to accept the bid from MRA Contractors for $6,500, seconded by Commissioner Schmierer. Vote: Unanimous
There being no further business to come before the board, their business was adjourned.

Traditionally, wall carpets produced by weaver communities of Romania and the Republic of Moldova were used for decoration, funerals, exhibitions and as part of a bride's dowry. These days, they are mainly appreciated as works of art. Techniques have changed from vertical/horizontal looms practiced in some parts to tight picking and other forms, with weavers now able to work from home. An expression of creativity, identity and tool for social cohesion, it is transmitted by families, craft centers and colleges.

Boyz II Men are, by all means, a legendary R&B group–but after over 25 years together, they're changing more than ever. The trio stopped by Trending 10 today to talk Collide, their eleventh album, and why its their most diverse set of songs to date. Watch the interview above!
"We wanted to stand clear of the genre-based music," the group said about the album, which dropped last week.
"People know Boyz II Men is R&B, but the idea was to stand clear of genre and just make it all about the music. A lot of people don't know that we went to high school for creative and performing arts and we sang all kinds of music. So music, within us, has never been a genre."
Watch the full interview above for even more–the group discuss their residency at The Mirage in Las Vegas, along with Harry Styles and One Direction and who their favorite young men in music are.

New music venues cropping up around Lawrenceville means more musicians hanging around. And with musicians comes the need for repairs, strings, instruction and tempting new gear. That's some of the thinking behind Backstage Guitars, a new music-equipment shop located at 4123 Butler St., across the street from Your Inner Vagabond.
"The more questions we asked, the more people we asked, it seemed like this area needed a store," says manager Jason Deutsch.
Over the last year, Deutsch helped plan the April 1 launch with Jake Miclot, the 23-year-old owner. Miclot, a touring musician originally with local hardcore band Deathright, and Deutsch, a singer-songwriter, met while Deutsch was working at another music store in the North Hills.
The guitars that hang along the walls sparkle just as brightly as the newly renovated storefront -- same with the basses, drum equipment, keyboards and recording supplies, and even a few banjos that Deutsch decided to take a chance on. But when you look a little closer, many of the instruments are by unfamiliar or unusual makers. Ever heard of Recording King acoustic guitars? Neither had I, but Deutsch suggests they're a much better deal than guitars with comparable features.
In choosing the lines they carry, they were "trying to make sure that we catered to not only new musicians, but gigging musicians," says Miclot, as well as introducing gear that's new to Pittsburgh. "A lot of the reps have come in and been really excited about the store," he says.
Partly that's because the lesser-known manufacturers are more eager to work with a new, hungry business, he agrees. And someone who simply wants a Fender Stratocaster won't find it here, a potential drawback. The flipside, Miclot says, is that they're able to carry boutique gear, made in small quantities, and provide full repairs and service, as well as offer some more familiar equipment by the likes of Dean, Fernandez, Bad Cat and Hiwatt.
The back half of the spacious building contains three lesson-rooms, where Backstage will offer music lessons on guitar, bass and drums, as well as singer-songwriter tutoring with Deutsch. There's also a larger space dedicated to the Rock Band Academy they operate -- an eight-week, School of Rock-type program in which they match kids by age, interest and skill to form beginning bands, Miclot explains.
A show featuring the groups from the Rock Band Academy is in the works for June at the Hard Rock Café. Deutsch, who released his album Peaceful Oblivion last year, will be opening for Bill Deasy at the Strip District's Altar Bar on April 24.

"The world banking system is broken and badly needs to be re capitalized. How will they get new capital from investors? We doubt that the banks will be able to get many investors to buy into their optimism and buy their stock. In our opinion, the only long term solution is that governments print more money to re-capitalize and re-liquefy the banking system. The season for increased gold demand is upon us as India starts to buy more for the wedding season. Gold coins are in short supply at many coin dealers in the U.S. Stagflation, inflation, and deflation threaten the world in different parts of the globe. All of these events are bullish for gold and we are adding to our gold positions.
As we said earlier we are not technicians, or momentum players (the two groups that seem to have had control of commodity prices during the last few weeks). We are fundamentalists, and the fundamentals argue that food and precious metals are getting into attractive buy areas.
We do not know if this is the ultimate bottom in precious metals. We do know that we want to own gold during periods when the world banking system is flirting with collapse and the only solution is governmental takeovers and subsequent large money printing exercises, by governments in Europe, Japan and the U.S.
There has been no fundamental decrease in the value of gold as a hedge against both inflation and strong deflation. Clearly, many commentators believe that one or the other may be the long-term outcome. We believe it is still too early to call…but that inflation has the upper hand at this time. Historically, gold has fared well in both inflationary and strong deflationary periods."

Life is difficult at times; we're living in a world where we're always in a rush. Breakfast, as many generations have said, is the most important meal of the day. Yet in our hurry to go about our busy days, we tend to forget it, or choose a quick, unhealthy option.
However, we shouldn't. You can eat a healthy breakfast that doesn't take long to prepare. We've decided to show you how. And what's better? We're going to use one simple ingredient which you probably have already: Eggs.
Eggs are a great food because they are complete – that is, they are filled with everything you need to go about your day; fats, proteins, vitamins and minerals. Below, we'll give you some ideas for meals you can use eggs to create.
Easy breakfast recipes with eggs
The king of all easy egg recipes is the fried egg. Simply put some oil in a pan, heat it, and then crack an egg over the top – wait until the clear egg white turns white. You have a fried egg.
Or, you can pop a full egg in its shell into boiling water and leave it to sit for five minutes or so. You have a boiled egg.
Or, you can whisk an egg up in a bowl with a fork, then pour that into a frying pan as you would a fried egg; you have an omelette.
Omelettes are the best option, because you can add anything to them; from fried peppers to leftovers from last night to bacon – you can put practically anything in an omelette, and it's healthy and will give you the boost you need to start your day and see you through to lunch.
Diabetic breakfast recipes with eggs
All of our egg recipes are derived from those basic egg preparations. Even for complex diseases like diabetes, a simple vegetable omelette will give you a great breakfast – without you having to worry about your blood sugar.
Similarly, take some fried eggs and make a risotto with them. Delicious, good for you, and no worrying about aggravating your condition.
If you like cakes for your breakfast but are afraid you'll make them worse – don't worry. You can make a simple egg muffin to quell the need for breakfast cake. You still won't have to worry about being unhealthy.
Low calorie breakfast recipes with eggs
Something that people worry about with eggs is that they are high in calories and fat. You don't have to worry about this – there are plenty of low calorie recipes which use eggs. For instance, you can use eggs as a substitute for pizza base. Essentially, create an omelette, and then add your ingredients – tomatoes, cheese (not too much!) and mushrooms (Or whatever you love on your pizza.)
You can then leave this in the oven or grilled until cooked, and you've essentially got a pizza without the huge calorie numbers that a pizza dough base would give you.
Eggs are incredibly versatile, so if we haven't written about your particular need for eggs, you just need to use a little imagination!

Hello my loves! You know I am all about my skincare, even more so my Korean skincare. The products are relatively affordable and they actually work! That's where this post comes in. I think I just tried the best Korean skincare sheet mask ever.
I'm of course talking about the Too Cool For School Coconut Oil Serum Mask. This mask is a dream for those of you with dry skin, but it would really be fabulous for all skin types. It even is amazing for aging and mature skin! So, let's break down this potential holy grail product and see where we get!
Like I mentioned, this comes from the Korean brand Too Cool For School. This brand is currently sold at Sephora, Ulta Beauty, Bloomingdale's, and Nordstrom. The brand has a win range of products that come in super fun, artistic packaging.
The benefits/claim of the Coconut oil Serum Mask are the combination of Coconut Water and Coconut oil. This mask also boasts to contain 30% of real coconut squeeze. It says to come in a "light as air" sheet mask that provides instant hydration and nourishment.
This mask also says to have a brightening and wrinkle improvement function from the ultimate hydration duo.
Price & Where To Buy
This mask retails for 6 USD for one sheet mask.
You can purchase this mask at Ulta Beauty, Sephora, Nordstrom, and Bloomingdale's.
How To Use
- After cleansing, prep skin with toner.
- Open pouch and place the sheet mask on your face and adjust around eyes, nose, and mouth.
- Leave the mask on face for 10 to 20 minutes and remove.
- Gently tap your face to let the remaining serum to be absorbed into skin.
Okay this may sound really weird, but in my sheet mask posts from now on I am going to include this "Fit" section. The reasoning behind that is that some sheet masks just sit horribly on the face and are really awkward. Some are way better than others and I think that is important, especially if you are going to have to sit with it on your face for an extended period of time.
That being said, the fit on this mask is awesome. Actually, it's the best I have tried. It adheres to every portion of your face. You can also adjust it to fit your face perfectly. I actually really liked how this got a good portion of my eye area as well. Some sheet masks have huge gaping holes for the eyes, avoiding that area entirely. It was nice to treat my under eyes at the same time!
After leaving the mask on for 20 minutes, I took it off and massaged the remaining serum in to my skin. You can definitely tell there is coconut oil in this product, as once the serum dries down it does have a slight oily texture, which I am not upset about at all! I'm actually a huge fan since my skin is so dry.
My skin feels hydrated, plump, calmed, nourished, and best of all, healthy! My skin has been a little weird lately and I think this brought it right back to the fabulous zone. It definitely helped plump some fine lines around my eyes and the expression lines on my forehead. I am glowing and hydrated!
Haley Recommended?
Absolutely! After all, the title does say best ever and I firmly stand by that. It came through on all of its claims and also had some added benefits. I think if you're looking for a skin pick me up, make this your weekly sheet mask! I know I am basically running back to Ulta to pick up a ton more!
Have you tried this product or brand before? What are your thoughts? Let me know in the comments!

In recent days, Sean Hannity has railed and railed against the TSA's new enhanced screening techniques of "invasive" pat-downs and full body scans. He's advocated adopting Israeli-style security procedures (read: racial profiling) and has said that the new procedures rob travelers of their self-dignity.
Today, however, when Hannity was challenged by one of HIS callers to make a stand against these new procedures by not flying his initial response was to indicate that he had only taken a "few" days of vacation this year and would not forgo his scheduled Florida family vacation.
Seems that Hannity's "principles" mean nothing in face of his personal vacation...and looks like the upcoming "robbing of the self-dignity" of his wife and 9-year old daughter means very little either.
What a Douche Bag!

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser, Dr Pepper/Seven Up, Inc. All opinions are my own. #SummerOfFloats
Let me just take in a moment here to realize that I no longer have a kindergartener. Holy smokes! I don't know about you, but this school year completely flew by for us! Alea has learned so much and I've seen her grow so much, both in height, and in all of her academics as well.
We've decided that we're going to do it big this summer and really take in all of our special moments with her. I'm currently working on a summer bucket list and we're kicking off the sum-sum-summertime with a fun little A&W® Root Beer and Sunkist® float bar– how cute is this?
We set it up in our new-to-us patio area. I used a cute beach towel I found on clearance and these cute little floatie (get it?) cup holders for our floats along with the ingredients I picked-up at Target. Cory and Alea are big fans of the orange cream flavored anything, so they were very excited to have their Sunkist® floats and I'm all about the A&W® Root Beer floats! Target was my one stop shop for everything we needed and I may have even picked-up some baby items there as well. Sometimes I just can't help myself!
To make your ice cream float:
1. 2 scoops of Vanilla Archer Farms Ice Cream
2. Fill cup with your choice of soda.
3. Add a pretty paper straw and enjoy!
*Pro Tip: Blend your soda and ice cream mixture in a blender– this is Cory's favorite way to enjoy his floats!*
I'm so very excited to celebrate summertime with my sweet little girl. This summer is all about my little Alea and enjoying every second with just the three of us, before we add our very special fourth family member in October!
Bonus: You can get 5% off 2L or 6-pack mini cans of A&W®, Sunkist®, 7UP®, Canada Dry®, Dr Pepper®, and more using this Cartwheel discount. Also, when you purchase any two 48oz containers of Archer Farms ice creams, you can get a FREE 2L or 6PK Mini Cans A&W®, Sunkist,® 7UP®, Canada Dry® and More! Find out more about making this summer the Summer of Floats HERE!
How are you celebrating summertime?

An Eco-Believer
Metropolis's focus on sustainable and ecological design is inspiring to me and I am working on changing my business and life's work accordingly.
Reflecting on those issues, I'd like to share with you the thought that beauty is an ecological value. As John Keats said so well "A thing of beauty is a joy forever"—and that also means to me that we keep beautiful things we treasure much longer that the things that are available in stores like "Costco" whose motto seems to be "Junk – In Bulk," most of them cheap, ill-conceived throw-away items.
It also means that breathless coverage of current design stars on a design scene littered with so many "wow"-oriented designs of no or little intellectual and lasting content is, in a sense, un-ecological. Those items have short-lived appeal as the "wow" fascination wears off and we soon discover their inherent emptiness. In the garbage they go. They are also often made with extremely costly manufacturing methods—a bit like the Toyota Prius whose overall "dust to dust" ecological impact has recently been found out to be enormous, exceeding that of the huge, gas-guzzling Range Rover
The values of quality and appreciation of truly good design with a lot of intellectual and artistic content are found in the most advanced European countries. Of note to me was the fact that Wal-Mart has had to pull out of Germany.
Those values are also brilliantly expounded in the Let My People Go Surfing book by Patagonia's founder and owner Yvon Chouinard – the second half of it "Philosphies" is simply illuminating and inspiring.

DC Execs Tout Jan. Sales; Talk WATCHMEN 2, EARTH 2
Each month since the relaunch in September, sales executives at DC Comics have met with Newsarama to talk about the latest Diamond sales figures.
This month, the news indicated top tier DC titles were holding steady — and held the Top 10 spots on the chart. DC also held the largest share of the market's units sold, although Marvel had the highest dollar figure.
We spoke to John Rood, the company's executive vice president of sales, and Bob Wayne, the senior vice president of sales, to discuss what the numbers mean. During our discussion, they disclosed:
- Being No. 1 in units indicates to DC that their comics reach more individual people than competitors.
- Any future cancellations and additions to the core "New 52" ongoing titles will most likely be done in groups like the six "second wave" titles coming in May, to maximize the "lift" provided by the additions.
- While there is no current plan to have a third wave, chances are that there will be another batch canceled and replaced before the New 52 is a year old.- While there's a marketing plan in development for the Before Watchmen comics, DC is also already planning how to market the collected edition to the millions of readers who picked up the original Watchmen as a book, not a comic.
- Before Watchmen is not just a one-time comics event. It's a plan to "set in place something that is lasting."
- DC continues to place importance on this month's ComicsPRO meeting, where it will not only reveal the results of its Nielson survey, but will also get feedback to guide future marketing initiatives.
The pair also had a little fun with the fact that they "won" the top 10 spots in Diamond's sales chart — among other accomplishments — as the following transcript of the conversation shows.
Newsarama: John and Bob, you know even more about what these numbers mean than we do. When you look at January, what do the highs and lows of the month say about the viability of DC right now?
Bob Wayne: It certainly says to me that being No. 1 in units sold in the marketplace for the month means that we're able to reach more consumers than our competitors. So I'm happy about that figure, along with us having the No. 1 title for a number of months in a row.
And we're also happy about having 10 out of the top 10 on the comics' chart, because it's been a long time since anyone has done that particular hat trick.
We're also very happy with the strength of our Batman titles in particular, especially as we're kind of moving into the Dark Knight Rises level of attention for the character from folks who might be more casual.All-Star Western #9 We're already going back to press on some of the Batman titles. We're seeing a lot of interest in Nightwing because of how it ties to The Court of Owls storyline that's building up. And All-Star Western has been a success in part because it merged the Jonah Hex story with historical Gotham City, allowing that book to plant things that can echo in the present, but being completely acceptable within Jonah Hex's story. We've got Harley Quinn and Joker in the Suicide Squad book. We even have a Resurrection Man issue with Arkham Asylum. So we have a lot of Batman things going on to keep readers excited. And it's the readers and the retailers who are helping to fuel what's going on in The Court of Owls storyline, because Batman has great buzz. Scott and Greg are doing a wonderful job on Batman, and all the other teams are pulling along as well. And we're happy to have that as one of the main engines on our January numbers.
Nrama: But wait a minute, Bob. You're raving about how well comics do that interact with Batman, so are there any plans to add to that line, or is there a danger of it getting too diluted if all these titles are suddenly set in Gotham City?
Wayne: We are adding Batman Inc. as one of the second wave of titles, so clearly, we think there's room for Batman Inc. and Grant [Morrison]'s flavor of storytelling, along with the other flavors.
But you have think there is a point where the rubber band gets stretched so far that it either breaks or snaps in some other direction, and people start to go, you know, I love Batman, but I don't want to buy that much Batman.
It's always a fine line we have to walk between these types of things.
But right now, these books are doing gangbusters, and I think it's really driven the sales strongly by the Court of Owls story that's building for its full debut in May. Without doing a lot of promotion on this, there's still a lot of interest in that.
John Rood: What I'd say is two things: No. 1: Dark Knight Rises in theaters July 20th. And then I would say that the intent with DC Comics' the New 52, was not to make us any more top heavy. And so as excited as we are about Batman's performance, we're delighted that readers and retailers are responding to titles like Swamp Thing and Animal Man and Resurrection Man and Suicide Squad.
The health of our whole line — 52 titles deep — is as crucial to us as making sure our franchise characters like Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash and Green Lantern, stay at the top of the list.
Nrama: John, what do you think the numbers say about the market overall, beyond DC. You guys are the only ones with books in the top 10. I know they did well, but it also speaks to the lack of competition this month, doesn't it? Taking all 10 spots doesn't bode well for the overall market, does it?
Rood: If I had stood at those Road Shows with the retailers last summer and said that our #5's for the New 52 were going to sweep the Top 10, Bob would have grabbed a large butterfly net and put it over my head and pulled me off-stage.
Wayne: To a round of applause, because they would have thought it was the right thing to do before he could hurt himself.
Rood: We have had so many pleasant surprises associated with DC Comics New 52, but lately, this idea of our #5's sweeping the industry Top 10 — 10 for 10 — is probably the most pleasant of pleasant surprises and the most surprising of pleasant surprises.
Nrama: But my question was, what does it say about the market overall, beyond just DC Comics? What do you think is going on with the comic market not selling anything as well as your 10th lowest title?
Rood: Take it up with the publishers who didn't crack the Top 10.
Nrama: Fair enough. One week after we talked last month, we found out there were six titles being replaced in the 52 line-up. I assume you'll still be continuously tweaking the comic line-up though, won't you?
Rood: I think the tweaks won't be ongoing and ad hoc. I think we will have what we were trying to do with these six titles [coming up in May] — do it at a moment in time and have it as a second wave, and that's what we're calling it. And have the incentives tied to the incentives of the initial New 52, which is what we're doing.But yeah, I'd like to think of it as 46 out of 52 that are continuing, which is crazy good. And no cancelations or replacements until issue #8, which is crazy good. And the anecdotal feedback on our six replacement titles being so favorable is exactly what we had hoped. Actually, all of the New 52 is lifted by our "Replacement Six."
Nrama: Do you think you'll have another wave before the first year is finished, by September?
Wayne: Well, while we don't have another wave planned, my gut is that we'll be making some additional mid-course corrections as we move forward month-to-month and look at the numbers on the titles, and also looking at the creative direction the titles are going.
But there is nothing that we're planning right now to have another six pop out.
And I think it will be more likely that the next time, we'll look at the comics, and it will be more like, OK, this one may have run its course and what do we have that might either hit that note differently, or hit a completely different note, but add to the overall effect of what we're doing?
So there is not a plan for another major group of them right now.
Rood: Which is not to say that when we see Dan [DiDio] and Jim [Lee] next week in person, that they won't go, "we've got a great idea!" We're always going to respond favorably when someone has a really great idea and convinces us it's a great idea, because their track record on this stuff has been pretty good.
Wayne: Top 10 out of 10.
Nrama: John, we've heard you joke quite a bit about how many different titles Marvel are being released, but the Watchmen titles increases the number of releases beginning this summer. What's the philosophy behind adding to the comics line that drastically? That it's worth it for the sake of a massive event this summer?
Wayne: Well, on the Before Watchmen, it was more a matter of, not so much summer, because it's going to be running for a good chunk of time, it was more a matter of, there are some stories people have wanted to tell and characters people have wanted to do stuff with for a number of years, and it just kind of came together and reached the critical mass.
And when sales and marketing is approached by editorial and told, "We've got this idea for something we just don't want to waste, and when can we do it, and what's the best time to do it," there's a lot of strength in that. And there certainly is a lot of interest in those titles that fall under that umbrella.
There's no pre-set number, like, OK, we've got to add two mini-series in July, so let's spin the wheel of available projects and see which ones we're choosing. There's no whimsy to it. It's really based upon, you guys tell us what you've got, and let's hear it and come up with ideas on what kind of response we'll get from the readers.
Nrama: Talking to retailers about Before Watchmen, there was a sense that they fully expect a similar type of promotional and retailer incentive program for this series that you gave the New 52. What's your plan for Before Watchmen?
Wayne: What we plan is that we're going to be meeting face-to-face with a number of our retailers at the ComicsPRO annual meeting in Dallas next week, and we think that will be a topic. And we want get the feedback from our customers before we finalize our plan.
So we don't have a plan set in stone right now. We're going to talk to our customers.
Nrama: I'm sure, though, that when you came up with the idea to do Before Watchmen, you had to think about how this series would be marketed to those "new" and "lapsed" readers, didn't you?
Rood: Yeah, we're definitely mindful of the fact that Before Watchmen has many interesting facets, including the new creators and the character-specific sell.So we have a periodical marketing plan and an incentives plan in development, but then we also have a collected editions marketing plan and an incentive plan in development, because that's how most readers are familiar with the original Watchmen.
And so this idea, just like we've said with the New 52, was not to win a month, was not to do a one-off that drove sales temporarily, but rather to set in place something that is lasting.
And same with Before Watchmen, as with the New 52, we're not in this to win dollar share. We're not even in this to win unit share. But we're in there to tell the best stories, and do it in an efficient model, and with integrity.
Wayne: As head of sales, though, I never complain when we manage to win market share or unit share or dollar share, because even if it's not our overall most important metric that gives us, you know, a sign post to point to, as far as what type of job we're doing and what kind of response we're getting from people.
Nrama: You've talked about reaching new readers through the Before Watchmen collected edition, but your expansion of the New 52 to another earth — Earth 2 — has been questioned by some fans who think of that not being new reader friendly. Are Earth 2 and Worlds' Finest the type of comics that you can market to a "new reader" or a mainstream audience? After all, the Earth 2 characters are at their core WW2 era characters. How hard a job is it for you guy to try to sell WW2 era characters in a contemporary market?"
Wayne: We aren't really, at this point, saying all that much about what's going to be in these titles. That will be rolling out soon. But I think people will be intrigued by some of the ways in which these new titles interact with our existing New 52 titles and how they amplify certain things.
Rood: It's an ongoing challenge in our category, is to take the nostalgic and make it timeless. So that shouldn't hold off any creative. But it also is something we have to be mindful of in marketing.
We're not here to hold up the past at the expense of the future.
Nrama: With the introduction of the Earth 2 comic, are there plans for multiverse crossovers as future events? Will there be a Watchmen/New 52 crossover, or comics set on Earth 6 or 7? Or wait — are the Before Watchmen comics on one of the 52 earths?
Wayne: I don't believe that we have made that claim. I think our intention is to leave that an entirely separate mythology, and to not have it intersect with the rest of what we do.
I think you end up, at some point, losing the effectiveness of the earth numbers as your title names. In the same way that you may have a First National Bank or even a Second National Bank, when you get down to the Seventh National Bank, I think people start to wonder why they would put their money there. So I doubt you see an Earth 7 #1 title coming out at some point in the future.
I think there's a specific reason for Earth 2 that will be much more apparent after you have the opportunity to read Earth 2 and a couple of other titles.
Nrama: For the top-tier stuff that we sense will not be canceled anytime soon, like Action Comics and Batman, is the intention with them to continue with the numbering. Will there be a #13 Batman come September?
Wayne: There's no plan to go to having a year's worth of comics be a "Volume 1" and then we have a "Volume 2 #1" as of the #13. There was probably two or three minutes of conversation in one meeting I was in about that, and everyone very quickly say, nah, we want to do it the other way.
Nrama: Unlucky #13 isn't unlucky for next September, huh?
Rood: If it ain't broke — if it's sweeping the top 10 — don't fix it.
Nrama: Is that the new mantra? Or do you care to sum up what you're feeling today with the release of the latest sales numbers?
Rood: We're holding steady. It's really exciting to see this much interest this far into the renumbering, so to speak, and the selling out continues to surprise us. So it's a testament to the staying power of readers and retailers alike.

So I worked from home today.
The plan: a calm, motherly morning where I pack lunches, make breakfast, kiss foreheads and drive Bookworm (8.5 years) and Picasso (7 years) to school before heading home with Little Miss (4) to "watch" her draw as I work.
The reality: let me give you a rundown of the crucial hour-and-a-bit between waking and 8am (when we have to leave the house to avoid the hell that is being late for school, which involves explanatory yellow slips of paper and slugging up an enormous hill to the school office which is at the other end of where the classrooms are).
- Wake up. Realise we've all overslept a little. But that's okay, because it's my work-from-home day.
- Have shower.
- Kiss everyone good morning and decide porridge for breakfast would be nice.
- Before starting on the porridge, check emails. See there has been big crisis overnight.
- Start to get worried. Get dressed.
- Colleague calls re: having been up all night with the crisis.
- Ask Souljourneyboy to get kids breakfast.
- Go back and frantically read all the emails that have come in over the night, while simultaneously making lunches.
- Picasso asks why I have given him ham and not cheese on his roll. I explain it is because he has told me many times that he likes ham and hates cheese. He is in disbelief – apparently he LOVES cheese and of course he wants it on his roll!
- Surge of frustration at the Orwellian, 1984-esq word children inhabit, where something is absolutely true one day and then its opposite absolutely true the next.
- Crankily tell kids to hurry up and get dressed.
- Souljourneyboy leaves for his early start.
- Call different colleague re: crisis.
- Kids are not dressed. Take deep breath and calmly tell kids they need to stop watching iView and make sure they are dressed and their bags are packed.
- Powers-That-Be call re: a separate and potentially worse crisis.
- Start to get dismayed.
- Call Boss re: both crises and can't get through.
- Call colleague back about both crises.
- Realise the time and firmly remind everyone to turn off iView, finish getting dressed and pack their bags.
- Colleague calls while I suddenly remember Crunch and Sip and start to frantically peel and chop carrots for lunchboxes while on phone.
- Picasso is without his hat. Loudly demand why this is so. He tells me it's missing. I tell him to look in the car.
- Realise no-one's bags are packed and Little Miss won't put on her socks.
- Powers-That-Be call again.
- Yell at everyone to GET OFF IVIEW NOW AND PACK BAGS AND PUT SOCKS ON OR ELSE I AM TAKING EVERYONE'S POCKET MONEY AWAY!!!!!
- Boss calls again. Utterly relieved children are quietly watching iView and won't interrupt the call.
- Picasso wandering around as though his hat will materialise in the air in front of his face. Tell him AGAIN to look in the car.
- Send a text message to colleague.
- Picasso adamant his hat is not in the car and the cleaners have hidden it.
- Send highly urgent email with one hand while upturning entire house looking for hat with the other.
- Tell everyone we're leaving NOW, with or without the hat.
- Picasso becomes highly distressed.
- Ring Boss using my "everything is completely under control" voice.
- As we're heading for the front door, Bookworm suddenly recalls his Jump Rope for Heart money MUST be in today and he can't find it.
- I would take a moment to scream in disbelief at his complete lack of organisation only that would take too long.
- Frantic call to Souljourneyboy yields Jump Rope for Heart money buried under papers on the bench.
- Keys now missing.
- Second frantic call to Souljourneyboy yields keys under papers as well.
- Yelling intensifies as Picasso still without hat, Bookworm's money doesn't add and Little Miss doesn't like her socks.
- Shove half of what's in my wallet in Bookworm's bag, run down to the car and FIND PICASSO'S HAT, get Little Miss new socks and corral everyone into the car.
Finally, unbelievably, we're on our way. The drive is 15 minutes, which gives us all a chance to calm down and apologise to each other. Don't you love mornings like that? I love my kids, and I love my job (most of the time) but balancing them is hard. I only went back to full-time work a year ago and I can honestly say it has taken nearly 12 months to get past the mother-guilt. I am fortunate that I have hugely-supportive Souljourneyboy in my life and that mostly it works. But when it doesn't…wow, it can be a killer. I feel like the kids get the raw end of the deal because my work stress leaches into parental stress – you know how it is.
But you know what? It was a beautiful morning, the sun was shining, and I got the kids to school on time. So it wasn't all bad. And there I was, standing in the playground, watching them kiss their sister goodbye and run off with their friends… thinking actually we did all right today, considering – when suddenly, Picasso runs back up to me and yells,
"Mum, I forgot my library bag!"
For the second week in a row. 🙂

We help charities and social businesses by providing advice, support and reassurance that all the financial aspects are well-managed, allowing you to focus on your important work.
We work closely with charities and understand how each of these complex entities are very different and therefore have very different needs.
As charity specialists, we are able to give advice that is based on understanding the complexities of the requirements on charities, and tailor our advice to the needs of each organisation.
By keeping up to date with the ever-changing, ever-demanding requirements in the sector, we are able to keep our advice cost-effective by having solutions at our fingertips. Our online accounting system also keeps time and paperwork down to a minimum.
We also regularly blog on issues affecting the sector. We pride ourselves on our accessibility, and the level of attention and personal service our clients get.
Over and above the audit process they are good at responding to our queries but also identifying ways to help. For example, they helped us amend the format of the disclosure regarding funds so that it showed a clearer picture of the balances.
That enabled us to present the position to the board and give a true picture easily.
