Creatives In Movies Not Getting Paid???
I had to roll on the floor laughing with this article. I must have a dozen friends mixed up in this nonsense waiting for money for super mega hit movies they've created or appeared in or something. Some have been waiting to get paid for decades. It's so stupid that's why I get into trouble. Agents come to me talking that 'backend money' bullshit and I immediately tell them to start packin' from now on for just asking me some stupid s*** like that. If I don't get paid, we get busy. You can't depend on the courts cause the Hollywood money people have too many judges in their pockets. It's gangster s*** with suits on. It's gone on for decades and the U.S. courts and law enforcement let this slide. I can't tell you how many times I've met some movie or tv star who was more broke than me. It's pathetic.
On the harsh side, you have to understand the most greedy, brutal sociopaths are attracted to big money deals like in Hollywood and other entertainment industries. Men and women who have murdered untold numbers of people to rob them or shut them up and lean on the weak. They're bullies with bullets. So execs have to deal with these slime bags and when it comes to the slimebags vs you, the slimebags win. Do you do dope? Then don't complain. Are you illegally gambling and doing all sorts of little criminal stuff while in the industry? Then shut up. You're adding to the problem.
From now on, if a studio wants your stuff tell them to pay you handsome up front or F off. If they can't pay you then they never intended to or they don't have their biz together. No more chumps.
Re: Creatives In Movies Not Getting Paid???
Depend on Brother Greg Boone for posting up with some of the most pertinent topics on AN throughout its history.
Indeed, I am with you all the way on that. It's foolish to work for Hollywood on a lick and a promise.
This takes me back to the last major video game franchise I developed. By this time I had established myself in the field and had pressed for royalties on the game which I got. Then when their lawyer heard about it he was very upset. They did not want to set a precedent in the US video game industry of giving back end points to the artist who designs the characters and creates the concept from scratch.
So here's what I was told...
"You know that you'll never see those royalties Charles. Why not take more money up front."
I knew they were right. The standard in Hollywood as it is in many businesses nowadays but perhaps more chronic, is that it's normal and to be expected that you will not get your money on the back end. Unless you are very powerful you'll wind up with nothing. It's the norm in Hollywood to be cheated in this way unless as I've said, you have power and are willing to spend considerable amounts of time and resources in a legal battle.
So I made out pretty darn good by getting paid up front, in advance of delivering the work, plus the rights to publish my work and also the ownership of the original art.
As a result of the deal I was the highest paid character designer in the American video game industry at that time, or so I was told.
If you're working for free, or under a promise of back end compensation, that's just where they'll give it to you.
Get smart and wise up artists. Don't fall for their BS. Too much going on in other areas such as crowd funded projects that the creators OWN.
Develop your audience and let them fund you.
Re: Creatives In Movies Not Getting Paid???
I hear you Charles!
Like you, I've been all over the map with companies in comics, film, video games. Video games nowadays is the source of absurd amounts of money. Get in on a good game and you can retire in a few years.
In the recording industry artists got ripped off left and right and then Hip Hop came along. I was there from Day One and saw what happened. Hip Hop is the biggest change in how money is done in music. The old days were run by mobsters. They owned the studios, radio stations stores. You didn't play game with them and you didn't get your brand out. When Hip Hop came along the mobsters and recording industry didn't realize that they were dealing with a new set of creatives. We were kids who grew up fighting for our lives in the streets. Many had a body or two by the time they got out of high school. The West Indian folks had gotten into music and they did not play any bullshit games. The cops, mobsters, execs, didn't know how to handle them as they would go to studios and board rooms and bust caps in asses. Back then the Posses had it out for injustice and bullets were flying everywhere. For the first time Black people were in control of their music, publishing, and distribution. Hip Hop has been popular now for almost 40 years because of it and it's still going strong.
That's American business for you. You gotta show some back or get a beat down. Crooks in business do what they do because there's a gun to their head. In comics I've met the most dangerous men I've ever seen. They don't fight up though. They used to have to hold me back from busting up offices and kicking ass left and right. In retrospect they should have let me. Force is the issue here. Creatives attract criminals and sociopaths by default. Gotta be on your toes or else.
We could learn a lesson from the Hip Hop culture as creatives. Sometimes the pen might be mightier than the sword but a gun has a louder statement.
Remember, we're in America. This ain't no theme park.
Re: Creatives In Movies Not Getting Paid???
Case in point, this film "I Want My Name Back" is a detailed look at the legendary Rap group "The Sugar Hill Gang" whose "Rapper's Delight" is the #1 selling Rap song of all time. They got screwed by their managers in ways that are phenomenal. It shows how the mob and managers work together to rip off artists. It's been this way for decades. If you have Facebook you can see their fan page about it.
Re: Creatives In Movies Not Getting Paid???
Here's video from the link Greg provided. Take the time to watch this. It's a must for any artist working anywhere or aspiring to achieve something with their work in today's environment. These people learned some big lessons the hard way and they're sharing that knowledge, wisdom and experience with us.
Everything we've been talking about on AN for going on 15 years now is embodied in their words...
Re: Creatives In Movies Not Getting Paid???
See what I mean?
What happened to the Sugar Hill Gang is like if someone came along and stole Walt Disney's "Steam Boat Willie" or Elvis' "Hound Dog".
They're just one band of creatives that got screwed and there's no telling how many more there are out there. I got a chance to talk to some of the biggest recording execs of all time who are now wayyyy out of the industry due to this kind of criminal stuff. What they told me was astonishing. Mirrored what many filmmakers said about strongarms, gangsters, dirty cops, money laundering, intelligence agency intervention, major dope dealing and of course extortion and murder. All common place because one music hit can mean tens of millions of dollars. Same with movies.
Big money attracts sociopaths. It's that simple. We didn't know how to detect sociopathy before but the characteristics have been fine tuned to the point that we have them on the run. Humanity's two biggest adversaries have been malaria and socipathy.
Re: Creatives In Movies Not Getting Paid???
This has been going on for a very long time. It's not something recent by any means. If there has been a re-direction in contemporary times it's because of the Internet and the ability of artists to own their own content while marketing it themselves.
A historical case in point is Walt Disney. You mentioned "Steamboat Willie" Greg. Actually he got screwed with Oswald the Rabbit prior to that and when he created "Plane Crazy" which was the first Mickey Mouse cartoon, he was cheated by his distributor. This is the mid 1920s, around 1927 for Plane Crazy.
That's one reason why he formed Buena Vista Distribution so he could control this aspect of his operations and avoid being swindled by Hollywood.
Look at how the Beatles were cheated out of millions and millions of dollars. Their manager Brian Epstein made terrible deals for them. Everyone thinks the guy was a genius but in fact he tried to dump the group before they made it big. Afterwards he was hailed as a brilliant manager when in fact he got them into ridiculous contracts where others made much more money than what the group should have gotten.
Know who learned from this? The Rolling Stones. They signed better contracts and even though they were selling fewer records than the Beatles, they made more money.
The early rock and roll groups from the 1950s got the shaft. Blues artists, jazz artists, you name it. The rock group Queen in the 1970s had some of the top selling albums in the world and they were living in cheap little flats in London while their manager was driving around in a Rolls Royce. That's when they woke up.
In this day and age there's less reason for artists to find themselves in this kind of position. There's a new system that's emerging which artist can utilize with much greater control. Plus we have decades of info we can share.
There's no reason to be victimized any longer.
Re: Creatives In Movies Not Getting Paid???
Great thread. I was just talking with my lady about this as we went for a walk tonight.
It kinda sucks being apart of the generation that got screwed with a lot. A big part of me envies the artists who won't even relate because of all the great avenues they have now.
What we were talking about 15 years ago is all coming true and I'm very happy artists have new opportunities to not have to deal with the people we had to deal with.
I was even in the new Image Comics documentary, The Image Revolution (which was a great doc and I'm very honored to be part of that documentation) but there were big things missing in all the happy talk.Real issues that could shed light on stuff and be apart of artists learning about the mistakes. Mostly artists screwing other artists. The abused becoming the abusers.
But it looks like at least in this documentary the young artists are appreciating their insight because their works speak for themselves. Which it should. And so should their wisdom and experience.
Thanks Greg for the great post and thanks Charles for always being at the forefront of sharing your truth and experience even when it puts in you in the middle of the s*** storm.
I know its appreciated even if some important people won't acknowledge your contributions and platforms!
Re: Creatives In Movies Not Getting Paid???
That's about the size of it and could be another thread in itself. Calling out the backstabbers and traitors. They always get a beat down in the end.
Re: Creatives In Movies Not Getting Paid???
If you watched the Image Revolution you'd see that a lot of them get a movie made about them in their honor....
Re: Creatives In Movies Not Getting Paid???
I learned a lot on how the "option for movie" game works. From day one that I got into comics reps and studios would option my stuff. I didn't know the game back then but got schooled in the early 2000s. When I found out what had been going on I got pissed but I realized that now I was more ready to negotiate the next time it happens. You should see the reps run for the hills when I tell them what the terms are. Their game is blown. You weed out the crooks this way.
I've got some top folks looking at my comics again. Especially my new one "Space Fool". They jumped on that and I hadn't even done the comic, just layouts and dialogue. I'm pushing for it to be a video game instead as video games can make more money than film with less people around biting off stuff. Several pals who've worked on huge video games said they would look into it. The trick is getting paid for the option and also being on the development team. The profits are better than you would get from film or music. We'll see.
Re: Creatives In Movies Not Getting Paid???
Indeed and agreed. Option with a paid gig is best! I positioned myself multiple times for that. My biggest problem was not factoring in the artist/team/partners back stabbing throwing you under the bus factor...man, still stings a little just writing it...lol,learned that lesson an embarassing amount of times... feeling better these days though. Been focusing on my intent for years now....ya know, takes 20 years to be an overnight success....
Re: Creatives In Movies Not Getting Paid???
In my case the two scams pulled were using my properties to get into the door at the studios, then tell the studios they couldn't get my stuff if they didn't look at or take on other stuff the reps had and were pushing. One big animation company got busted doing this because they didn't know I knew the production team. They got ratted out but higher deals and bribes were underway and we couldn't fight it.
Another scam was to acquire my stuff, sit on it. Take what was attractive and popular and tear it apart piece by piece and add it to other properties that sucked. I could give you a whole list of movies with my fight scenes in them. People made careers off of my fight scenes.
Race was another factor. Didn't know so many execs, artists, production people were so racist. Actually Facebook exposed many of them over the past few years. People I'd worked with whose jobs I saved ended up working at the big studios and blocked me, back talked me and several got fired for being not only racist assholes but for general unethical behavior and liabilities.
You never know what twisted minds you run into. Problem is they recruit from the human race and far too often your worst enemies will be people from your own race, religion, ethnic group. Those people you deal with hand to hand in a parking lot.
Re: Creatives In Movies Not Getting Paid???
Here's some of the lessons I've learned over the years...
Be careful / mindful / cautious of your professional colleagues especially if you work within the studio system in the LA. You can of course build great and lasting relationships but the industry does not have your personal best interests at heart. The industry is not limited to executives. Artists can be just as notorious as anyone else in this biz. Look at the Animation Guild as an example.
When you develop solid, positive relationships then maintain them in mutually positive and solid ways.
If you agree to work for free then don't complain when you don't get paid.
The studio scene is a very different world than the creator driven scene. The work for hire job oriented person does not necessarily relate to the artist out there developing an Independent Economy for themselves. There's a cultural gap that exists in animation in this area especially on the part of studio artists. A difference in values, priorities and perspectives.
If you want to get involved in the politics of the animation business you're much better off if you can make your statement through creative success. More people in the biz will listen to you if you can back it up with creative accomplishments.
Don't waste your time on negativity. Don't let yourself be distracted from your real focus, which should be your creative productivity.
Stay on your art and stick with it. Especially in today's environment. Strive for personal excellence and stay on top of what you're doing creatively. That's the most important thing you can do for yourself.
Create content and keep creating content.
This is some of what I've learned.
PS. Attach a value to what you do and be sure you're appropriately compensated when you're on the path of developing content for others.

Hypereosinophilic (hy-per-ee-o-SIN-o-phil-ik) syndrome (HES) refers to a group of blood disorders that occur when you have high numbers of eosinophils — white blood cells that play an important role in your immune system. Over time, these high numbers of eosinophils enter various tissues, causing inflammation and eventually damaging your organs, most commonly targeting the skin, lung, heart, blood and nervous system. Hypereosinophilic syndrome can become life-threatening if not treated.
HES can affect anyone, but it occurs more often in men, usually between 20 and 50 years of age. Symptoms of HES vary, depending on what part of your body is affected. Skin symptoms include itching and rashes, for example. If your lungs are affected, you may be short of breath and have a cough.
At Mayo Clinic, we assemble a team of specialists who take the time to listen and thoroughly understand your health issues and concerns. We tailor the care you receive to your personal health care needs. You can trust our specialists to collaborate and offer you the best possible outcomes, safety and service.
Mayo Clinic is a not-for-profit medical institution that reinvests all earnings into improving medical practice, research and education.

Your doctor or someone on your medical team is likely involved in research related to your condition.
Our patients tell us that the quality of their interactions, our attention to detail and the efficiency of their visits mean health care — and trusted answers — like they've never experienced.
Why Choose Mayo Clinic
What Sets Mayo Clinic Apart
The initial goal in diagnosing hypereosinophilic syndrome is to rule out other disorders that can elevate your eosinophil count — such as a parasitic infection, allergic disease, drug reaction or autoimmune disorder. Therefore, provide your doctor with your travel history and a list of medications you're taking.
Based on your symptoms, your doctor will recommend certain tests. Some tests to rule out other conditions include:
If you've been diagnosed with HES, these tests may help determine the cause:
The goal of treatment for hypereosinophilic syndrome is to reduce the numbers of eosinophils in your body and prevent tissue damage, especially to your heart. Your treatment depends on your symptoms, the severity of your condition and the cause of your HES.
Mayo Clinic works with hundreds of insurance companies and is an in-network provider for millions of people. In most cases, Mayo Clinic doesn't require a physician referral. Some insurers require referrals or may have additional requirements for certain medical care. All appointments are prioritized on the basis of medical need.

3D Printer
3D printing is a form of additive manufacturing technology where a three dimensional object is created by laying down successive layers of material. 3D printers are generally faster, more affordable and easier to use than other additive manufacturing technologies. 3D printers offer product developers the ability to print parts and assemblies made of several materials with different mechanical and physical properties in a single build process. Advanced 3D printing technologies yield models that can serve as product prototypes.
Re: 3D Printer
The video originally posted for this topic is longer available on YouTube so I'll follow up with re-embedding it from another source.
Re: 3D Printer
Here's the official sales video for the 3D printer featured above.
Re: 3D Printer
Not only can this 3D printing technology be applied to engineering and product design, it does amazing things with characters.
Look at what 3D printing does in this case...
Here's what can done with articulated images...
To top it off, look at the sculptures that an artist by the name of Erica Van Straaten in the Netherlands is coming up with using this technology.
Re: 3D Printer
Wow. That's amazing stuff. I saw some of the early concepts for this a few years ago, but that's something else.
Re: 3D Printer
Imagine where this technology will be in 10 years. Could be at the point where it can mass produce. No more sending jobs to China for labor to assemble toys. Simply assimilate the design data and start churning out product. You can send the file to the system when you leave work for the evening and have a line of products ready for sale by the next morning, or during the course of a day. The possibilities are incredible. All we have to do is keep the world's economy from falling apart and maintain the earth enough so it doesn't implode on us and we're in business!
Re: 3D Printer
Since some of the early work in this direction was done with lasers, it would seem likely that the general direction could do fused metal work also with hot and cold jets for tempering and magnetics for grain alignment.
Saw some laser cutting "printers" a while back and the pricing was about $10k.
We may still be a long way from the SciFi envisioned "fabricators," but I think I just saw the Wright Brothers fly by ;O)
Re: 3D Printer
That's a great analogy. This technology is comparable to where the Wright Brothers were at the beginning of flight. Imagine being able to mass produce 3D sculpted products from a digital file. From hand tools to toys to dinnerware to just about anything you can think of. That scenario is very feasible. Think of how this will affect manufacturing. Individuals can become product factories, in the same way that digital production technology enabled individual artists to become their own animation studio. The prospects are amazing.
Check out how clothing can be manufactured with 3D printing. For example, a bikini...
Stitch fabric...
Even chocolate...
And sculpted portraits from a front and side photo...
Re: 3D Printer
The process is more involved, but the results can be just as impressive when it comes to 3D metal printing.
Re: 3D Printer
Great stuff! Model A fabricators or maybe the Stanley Steamer of fabricators...
Not sure how much the products that can be made cost, but if it hits mass production scale and is competitive with cheap labor there are lots of applications. With a data set for your own body, you could order a shirt or a pair of shoes with perfect fit and your own design as easily as downloading a digital book from Amazon.

Friday, March 22, 2002Johnson City, Tenn. (March 22, 2002) - The 53rd-ranked East Tennessee State's men's tennis team improves to 6-4 on the season after defeating Tennessee Tech, 5-2, in the Memorial Center Friday afternoon. In doubles competition, the Bucs took the point from Tennessee Tech by winning two matches. Marcos Pavlovich (Otamendi, Argentina) and Roberto Fernandez (Cuernavaca, Mexico) won a tough No. 1 match, 9-7, over Tech's Gernot Fischer and Razvan Ilie. Simon Tremblay and Luis Aguerrevere won the No. 2 spot, 8-6, over ETSU's Alejandro Salazar (Arequipa, Peru) and Pablo Sahagun (Cuernavaca, Mexico). The third match went to the Bucs when Moises Serrano (Bucaramanga, Colombia) and Diego Iglesias (Mar del Plata, Argentina) defeated William Chappell and Piotr Wawrzyniak, 8-3. "The doubles really helped us," said head coach Dave Mullins, "We got momentum after the doubles and had really good first sets." Those good first sets helped the Bucs win four singles matches to take the match. At No. 1, Pavlovich defeated Fischer in two sets, 6-1, 6-4. Sahagun won over Tremblay, 6-2 and 6-3, in the No. 2 spot. Fernandez won his No. 3 match, 6-3 and 7-5, over Ilie. At No. 4, Wzwrzyniak scored for Tech by defeating Salazar in a long, tough bout. Iglesias continues his winning ways by defeating Aguerrevere, 6-4, 6-2. Chappell scored Tech's other point by downing Serrano, 6-2, 6-4.

Comments On May 13, 2015:this looks good but if the chain is thrown or breaks this wont save or (guard) your case, the stock guard sits inline with the chain and guards the case.this leaves the case wide open ,plus the bolts are to long so you have to use the stock guard,witch i dont have and i got this to replace that stock guard

Do you have a love for art and the history behind it? Want to learn about ways to use your creativity and create your own masterpieces? Do you want to help others through the power of art? The Marian University Department of Visual Arts has many interesting and exciting areas of study, many of which may be right for you.
Through the ages, important thinkers have maintained that visuals and vision are potent forces. Zhang Yan Yuan of China, the world's first art historian, stated that art helps human relations by allowing us to explore mysteries of the universe. Art, he wrote, completes culture. Years later, St. Thomas of Aquinas asserted that looking upon an object has powerful effects on the viewer's mind and body. At Marian University, visual arts majors study the many ways art has been and continues to be used as a powerful tool to shape our minds and our culture. Students are taught to see reality, design possibility, and inspire a new reality out of that possibility.
Students receive instruction and direction from fully qualified, full-time faculty and area specialists in classes that are kept small to ensure personal contact. Students benefit from the department's close relationship with the Indianapolis Museum of Art, the Eiteljorg Museum, the Indianapolis Arts Center, and numerous businesses that provide students with valuable internship experiences.
The visual arts curriculum of study includes bachelor of arts degrees in the following major areas: art history, fine arts, graphic design, and photography. Minors in these areas are also available, as well as a concentration in art therapy. In partnership with the School of Education, students may obtain licensing to teach in the area of arts education.
For more information about the Department of Visual Arts, contact Jamie Higgs, Ph.D. email@example.com
Marian University does not discriminate in enrolling students on the basis of age, race, sexual orientation, creed, national or ethnic origin, or disability.

This conversation is closed.
What do you think about the tragedies that occured this week?
It is morally correct to feel sympathy, or other emotions, when hearing about tragedies like the Boston Marathon bombing and China's earthquake. But forget morale and what the society thinks, what thoughts do you think when something like this happens?
Apr 22 2013: Jaehyun, If I replied on this now I would only be able to say what the media has told me .... and I have little faith in that. This will be beat up a hundred ways and MAYBE one of them will be correct.
My thoughts are from the sublime to the ridiculous ... politics ... failed diplomacy ... terrorists ... sensless killing ... ruined lives ... etc ..
It is beyond my ken to either understand or accept ... I have emotions like everyone else ... but I will attempt to withhold judgement until I have all of the available facts ... and hope that even then I can be fair.
The real shame here is that this will become a political tool.
I wish you well. Bob.
Gaza Bear
Apr 22 2013: Well I think it comes down to how the information is delivered, seeing as media is an extremely influential channel of information. Over the past week, there has been much emphasis on the Boston bombings which is of course, very tragic. However this is only because of the information distributed by the media. Every day we have thousands of people who are dying. Cancer, suicide, disease... many have incredible stories and lives, but they will go unseen, because nobody is there to publish their stories.Apr 22 2013: "There is nothing new under the sun". Things of this sort happen everyday in this vast planet of ours.
- +2
Its just that not all people/nations get this sort of global publicity in their time of need.
It is what it is; there is evil in the world. And there is so much good too.Apr 23 2013: This happened on the streets I frequent growing up. My oldest children was near the finish line. She was in locked down and called sharing the site of a swat team walking down her street. My other child met the young brother a few times on the campus of UMass Dartmouth. close to home? yes. I swear I did not take a full breath for days and surely God's ears are aching from all the prayers and agonizing tears for the death and maiming of innocent lives.
As news was released about these two young men, the video, pictures and a bit more details about their lives, among my reactions of tears, rage, fear , my thoughts went to the perpetrators and I looked through the eyes of a mother,a parent.
How in the world can the parents of these two young men move thousands of miles away leaving them do fend on their own with no support of even family? How can a parent leave a young teenager in the care of a not much older sibling who takes on the roll of parent? The older brother....well like everyone I have my thoughts as to his motivation. The 19 year old, this child's brain is a work in progress. judgement, reasoning, impulse control, etc.. not there yet. I would venture to guess this 19 year old wishes he was successful taking his own life for when his brother died, reality of his actions came to fruition. The hours hiding in that boat had to be horrific both physically and emotionally.
How many of these young adults around the globe are sucked into these horrific acts of violence for they are such easy prey? How is the stopped? I don't know the answer, I don't know. I do know the message we sent to the world in search of them was......... we do not kill our own, not one, not a single one.
China Jaehyun..... my heart cries for this lose of life, truly.
Apr 23 2013: Thank you for the reply! It is obvious that you truly care for the people that were affected by these tragedies. I envy your sympathy for others and it is good to know that there are many good people in this world.
God bless,
Don Anderson
Apr 22 2013: Besides the normal emotions/feelings, I did have a few outside the box thoughts.
- +1
Thank god people get dumb when they decide to comment mass murder/terror, and thus reducing the number of their victims and increasing the chances of them being stopped before they act.
Unlike airline hijackings that are now rare because the world no longer pays/rewards they demands, the media is feeding terrorism with its exaggerated coverage.
I increasing do not trust the media and governments to tell the truth, both let their own agenda twist the facts and even knowingly give false information.
In addition to countries having armed-forces, they should have disaster-responding-forces of equal size with equipment design solely for them. (Think several USNS Mercy aircraft carriers with C-130s loaded with food aid and temporary shelters, and also search and rescue helicopters.Apr 22 2013: For Boston Marathon bombing,I asked myself the first question:what is wrong with america's education.and next question:what caused that by america society?
For China's earthquake:everyday when I browse the newest reports from internet,I couldn't help tearing,meanwhile I feel lucky to live a safe place.But later I feel life is so fragile,so short...then I feel extremely content with what i have now once again.
Apr 22 2013: The elder brother accused of the bombings arrived in the US at age 16 or 17. In the US, the pre-college school system ends at age 18, so he spent at most a couple of years in it.. The Wall Street Journal say he went to a prestigious private school. The younger brother also went to the private high school rather than to the always maligned public educational system. It seems something of a stretch to suggest that this event can be blamed on "America's educational system" - unless you mean that the majority of marathon runners in the race, families cheering them on, safety personnel, and emergency teams were likely educated in the US.Apr 22 2013: I agree with Fritzie. The reality is much more complicated.
I think the following contributed to the tragedy:
- on the Internet young people can easily get "inspired" and learn how to stage attacks
- some people are psychopaths and they do not behave and think in the same way we do
- integration to a society that is radically different from your culture is difficult
- violent games and movies make young people less sensitive to violence?
- access to guns is not enough regulated
Apr 23 2013: Hi Dear Zdenek Smith,I have different ideas about 'some people are psychopaths'?are they born so?of course not,as much as we have those 'you are you,I am I' ideas,we will not avoid to see more tragedies what we don't want to see.If our education can really do'we are connected,we are one world,one home',we won't worry about it anymore.
I keep thinking'what education it really means',it concerns all a lot:politics,humanity,science...every individual,a group,a society...we all are connected together for better education to move on in our lives,the spirits is what we needed the most...May 5 2013: Every day something like 300-400 thousand people die, probably several thousand of them under very painful or violent circumstances. I just don't have the emotive resources to expend on empathy with them all. Perhaps a true news service ought to print the names and histories of all these thousands daily, so we could choose a few to weep over. Or should I read the newspaper and empathize with the couple of cases of violent death that the editor has selected for that day? Then how about all those who will miss my empathy?
The same day that 3 were killed in Boston, 30-some were murdered in the U.S., while some dozens were killed by bombs in Iraq and Syria. We never even heard their names. And that was OK, because I just can't make their horror my horror. It doesn't serve me, them, or any other purpose.
Let me ask your question back to you, about all those murdered every day in our own country (U.S.) - amounting to 11-12 thousand every year: "what thoughts do you think when something like this happens?" Do you weep over them, or only over the few that are highlighted in the news, like the three in Boston?May 1 2013: I feel sad for the people physically hurt. I hate physical pain and limitation, so it really upsets me to hear about people wounded, maimed, killed.Apr 24 2013: Hi.
I no longer believe anything, any authority in America (and even elsewhere), tells the public.
They have been caught lying for too long, too many times and over too many things.
To believe is to betray myself. To believe one word of theirs is to lie to myself.
(this also applies to you)
I don't believe any of it.
There is a hidden agenda behind it and action needs to be taken immediately by the people.
Fuck proof. They never provide any and as george w said, "we cannot wait for the final proof."
However, we did get the final proof. There were no WMD's and just like this incidence, OBL is dead,
no one saw any body, certainly not the public, and here, one is dead and the other dying with a media frenzy already naming him guilty.
All without real proof. They can protect,. Oh, but now they can't. Yes we can. No we can't. Give us more of your freedoms and we can protect you.
Yeah, Right.Apr 23 2013: My first thought, what a poorly executed attack. Second, thought why the Boston Marathon on this particular day? Third thought: so many bombs so few fatalities. Fourth thought the only folks that stand to gain from this are Americans with agendas. Chechnya, really? They've been at war with Russia for years now why target a potential ally? And how many radicals go to their senior proms, craft achievable futures that can have a greater positive impact on their cause than any war all so they can blow up an event that barely rates national coverage? Those young men are proxies at best and I shudder to think that they would be patsies. This stinks to high heaven and everyone with a finger to point stands to gain a lot from this crime. I never thought I 'd say this but I hope its Al Qaida, the alternative is just too chilling.Apr 22 2013: For me, the Boston tragedy highlights a few opportunities and problems in our society.
It is good to see how well community can collaborate in providing information and evidence to authorities. In today's age of pervasive communication and video coverage, dangerous individuals are easier to locate and deal with.
Unfortunately some politicians are using tragedy like this to vote for laws that increase surveillance and impose further restrictions on our rights and freedoms. This is a dangerous trend that can lead to a policy state.
As usually, some people talk about conspiracy theory claiming that government stage those attacks and spread misinformation.
Hopefully the government put in place laws we do need such as gun control. We also should educate young people with subjects on ethics, morality, empathy democracy and human rights.Apr 22 2013: Bad things happen to good people. In Boston only about four people were killed by the two bad guys so it could have been worse. Gee Jaehyun, you live in Mass. - Maybe if you are a potential juror, you shouldn't be asking about this. Everyone deserves a fair trial. Remember one of your greatest heroes should be John Adams who represented the British soldiers of Boston Massacre fame.

Call for new pedestrian crossing on Carlisle's Castle Way
Last updated at 12:29, Friday, 26 October 2012
Carlisle's Castle Way could see a pedestrian crossing created outside Tullie House, in addition to the Irishgate footbridge and Millennium underpass.
City councillor Elsie Martlew has written to county council leader Eddie Martin asking for a crossing over the dual carriageway at the end of Castle Street.
She argues that Castle Way is a barrier setting the castle apart from the city centre. A crossing would lessen the sense of separation and slow down speeding traffic.
Mrs Martlew said: "With the Carlisle Northern Development Route open and the road works in Caldewgate complete, now is the time to bring the castle back into the city.
"A pedestrian crossing would open up the bottom of Castle Street and make the castle an integral part of the city.
"The castle is the jewel in Carlisle's crown."
Castle Way opened in 1973 as a section of an inner ring road that was never completed. Various attempts have been made to lessen its impact.
The Irishgate Bridge, part of the Millennium Gateway project, has been beset by problems since it opened in 2000.
It was shut completely for 10 months after engineers found serious corrosion last year.
Carlisle Renaissance tabled an £8.4m proposal for an "iconic public square" in the middle of Castle Way, linked to either side by pelican crossings.
Consultants wanted to replace crash barriers with trees and lighting columns to transform Castle Way into a "ceremonial boulevard that befits Carlisle's rich heritage".
The scheme never got off the drawing board.
Mrs Martlew said: "We would never build Castle Way where it is now, in front of the castle. It's a throwback to the 1970s.
"I can remember when we developed Tullie House.
"I was in favour then of trying to sink the road in a tunnel but the idea didn't get anywhere and diverting Castle Way is too expensive.
"The most feasible solution is to create a pedestrian thoroughfare across the road."
Mrs Martlew represents the city centre Castle Ward and is also the city council's environment portfolio holder.
She has the backing of William Whalen, a fellow Labour councillor for Castle on the city and county councils.
And she has the support of city council leader Joe Hendry.
Dr Hendry said: "I have concerns about the underpass. It is fine during the day but when it's dark it isn't a pleasant place. A pedestrian crossing is an inexpensive solution – simple and straightforward."
Carlisle's Conservative MP John Stevenson also agrees with Mrs Martlew. He wrote to the county council last year asking if a pedestrian crossing was feasible.
His request was passed to the Carlisle local committee.
Chairman Cyril Weber said: "The committee's decision was that we would take no action but review the matter after the Carlisle Northern Development Route and the new Sainsbury's had been open a year.
"We wanted to see what effect they had on the amount of traffic using Castle Way."
The road opened in February while Sainsbury's began trading two weeks ago.

Have your say
Apologies if I am wrong.....Weren't barriers put up along Castle Way many years to separate the two carriageways to STOP pedestrians crossing over the dual carriageway because it was such a dangerous road (was it not soon after a pedestrian got knocked down by a Police car??? Sorry memory fading her...)
If I recall it then became "an offence" to climb over the barriers to cross the road ? (At least that was what was threatened at the time!)(Since Sainsbury's reorganised that whole stretch of the road.. the barriers have disapeared - which now gives the impression it is safe to just walk across anywhere!)The speed limits along that road have not changed - so how is it that it can be considered "safe" to put in a crossing - especially at the stretch where it gives the impression it is okay to speed up because there is no houses etc.Can I suggest Elsie and Mr Henry do like the Street Pastors do - and go down into the underpass during the hours of darkness and help to escort pedestrians along the dimly lit underpass - that their council built in the first place (and we all said at the time it was a dismal place and nobody would use it.....)
The ultimate in sheer stupidity showing a complete lack of understanding of the basics of traffic flow on a commuter route. Nothing less than sinking Castle Way below ground level and making a proper pedestrian precinct would be acceptable to join the castle to the city again.

Although David Coulthard would be "surprised" if Sebastian Vettel didn't win this year's World title, the Scot concedes there are still a lot of points to play for.
Vettel and Red Bull has yet again proven to have the measure of their rivals this season, securing four race wins and 172 points in the first half of the campaign.
That has put the German, who is chasing a fourth Drivers' Championship title, 38 points ahead of his nearest rival Kimi Raikkonen while Fernando Alonso in third is a further point off the pace.
And although there are still 225 points to play for this season, Coulthard reckons Vettel has enough of a buffer to see him through.
"Historically, if you're able to build a bit of a buffer in the first half of the season, even if somebody then comes forward in performance, normally you can hang in there and get the Championship," he told GPUpdate.net.
"If you look at [Jenson] Button when he won with Brawn, he won a lot of races in the first half of the season. He didn't actually do anything in the second half of the season but he was able to hang in there and get the Championship.
"Mercedes are looking strong, there's no question about it. And they have a quick car in qualifying, probably with certain advantages over the Red Bull. But Red Bull have a very consistent package.
"Sebastian is unquestionably a remarkable driver when you look at the amount of starts, the amount of success, the qualifying and racing and what have you.
"Obviously I don't know this, but I would be surprised if he doesn't win his fourth Championship. But of course with nine races to go, there are a lot of points."

While Nashville prepares for its signature summer event in CMA Music Festival, the end of summer will bring another roots music festival to the city in the form of the 73rd National Folk Festival.
That festival, set to take place September 2-4 in downtown Nashville, highlights folk music of varying stripes. Tuesday, organizers announced the first eight confirmed acts, including Station Inn favorite Dale Ann Bradley, the 2007, 2008 and 2009 International Bluegrass Music Association female vocalist of the year.
The other announced acts are Green Fields of America, Mariachi Los Camperos de Nati Cano, The Holmes Brothers, BeauSoleil avec Michael Doucet, La Excelencia, the Roan Mountain Hilltoppers and Samba Mapangala & Orchestre Virgunga. It's a lineup that touches on Irish-American sounds, Mexican mariachi, blues, gospel, R&B, bluegrass, Cajun, salsa, Appalachian string band and East African rumba forms.
"Nashville's diverse lineup of artists is evidence of a commitment to our entire community to broaden the Music City brand and welcome a vast array of performers from all genres of music," said Tim DuBois, the vice president and managing executive of ASCAP. "This city is a growing haven for culturally diverse musicians and the National Folk Festival stands to highlight this on a national stage."
The festival is expected to draw 60-80,000 attendees over Labor Day weekend. For more information, visit www.nationalfolkfestival.com or call 615-891-4944.

Here is some pics of my car that i am working on. Right now i am doing the floor pan since it is rusted out. I plan to do the drivers side then move to the passenger side next. I cut out the bad stuff then welded in new, 18 guage sheet steel. It was my first time welding so i didn't know what to look for in a weld. I have since come across this website and it has helped me tremendously! I still am considering getting lessons, but i wonder if i can teach myself to get good, and develop my own technique? I have since cut out the steel and am going to weld in for the second time hopefully with better luck. Any help/advice/tips about my car and/or welding is greatly appreciated.

I've always luved that design...keep us posted on your progress...good going +100
I always loved the look of those old Volvos. Are you returning it to original?
Also for auto sheet metal work you might want to look into ESAB Easy Grind filler metal (MIG), it's made specifically for autobody work.

I'm thinking i want to keep it original as possible since there isn't many around these days. I am just a beginner at car rebuilds and welding, but it is something that has always interested me. I think i will get lessons in due course. Thanks for the info about the filler/grind jazz from ESAB.

- people in the U.S. have this name View Wendy Kinley on Whitepages
Meaning & Origins
This name was apparently coined by the playwright J. M. Barrie, who used it for the 'little mother' in his play Peter Pan (1904). He took it from the nickname Fwendy-Wendy (i.e. 'friend') used for him by a child acquaintance, Margaret Henley. It has also been suggested that this name may have originated as a pet form of Gwendolen. After peaking in the 1960s, use of the name declined quite rapidly.

Subject: Excited About Dong Quai (Equality, AL)
Received: March 1, 1999
I am so excited about the high germination rate of 'Dong Quai'. I just had to write and tell you. After leaving the seeds sitting out for a few months last year hwne they arrived I figured I'd get nothing. So I put the packet of seeds in the refrigerator and in November put them in a baggy with moist potting soil and put them back in the refrigerator. One day, shortly after New Year's, I saw some sprouting and as I started transferring these sprouts to a new bed of potting soil, I found over forty now sprouting up out of the soil! After reading your note under the description of Dong Quai, that 'even one plant would be reward enough', I count myself 'rewarded!'
Since then I put the baggy of unsprouted seeds back in the refrigerator and have 5 germination trays full -- I have at least 250 plants!

Pixar's 'Brave' coming June 22, 2012
Set in Scotland in a rugged and mythical time, "Brave" features Merida, an aspiring archer and impetuous daughter of royalty. Merida makes a reckless choice that unleashes unintended peril and forces her to spring into action to set things right.
We've got a year of high anticipation to enjoy before the film is completed and released.

Think this'll be a hit?
Re: Pixar's 'Brave' coming June 22, 2012
I dont know if I'm allowed to post here or not seeing that no one else has.
I just want to say this movie looks marvelous and has so much potential for being one of the rare serious Disney/Pixar films and less silly. I'm not saying humor is necessarily a bad thing since Pixar can do such a great job of it, but if it is something like Wall-E then this will be a epic film and my gut feeling says it may because its by the same makers of Wall-E and Up (even though Up got kinda overboard silly by the end....just me though)
Moreover, the story and settings of this movie can add to the serious affect, thus possibly making this one of Pixars best films if they play it safe and, like I said, make it more of a darker film than comedic. I've been waiting for something like this for a while, and I hope it turns out great!
Mike E.
Re: Pixar's 'Brave' coming June 22, 2012
Looks really excellent. I'm glad that Pixar is still stretching into new directions. I've loved everything from them except Cars. It's the one franchise of theirs that I just think must be based on money more than desire to tell that story.
Anyway, Brave looks like a return to form and I love it!

The first Cars movie was excellent in my opinion, and since I'm a car guy myself its just all the more reason to like the movie.
Cars 2 kinda got boring for me in the middle.

Pixar's Brave to Premiere at Edinburgh
By Jennifer Wolfe
Tuesday, March 13, 2012
The Disney-Pixar animated Scottish adventure Brave is set to bring this year's Edinburgh International Film Festival to a close, according to a report by The Hollywood Reporter.
The movie, featuring a voice cast that reads like a who's who of Scottish stars including Kelly Macdonald, Billy Connolly, Kevin McKidd and Craig Ferguson, has been selected as closing night film for the festival.
The movie's pick was announced by Scottish first minister Alex Salmond and EIFF artistic director Chris Fujiwara at a tourism conference in Scotland. The festival runs June 20 through July 1, 2012.
Salmond, the leader of the Scottish Parliament, said he was delighted to announce that "Hollywood will roll into town during the Edinburgh International Film Festival when we host the European premiere of Brave."
For his part Fujiwara, making his debut as artistic director with the festival this year, said: "We're delighted to host the premiere of Brave and continue the Festival's long relationship with Disney."
He said that though the festival is international, organizers are "mindful that we have a special responsibility to Scotland's cinematic image. It makes perfect sense that this film, which is so strongly tied to the cultural mythology of Scotland and the beauty of the Scottish landscape, and in which Scottish talent has such a significant involvement, should be part of our festival."
Directed by Mark Andrews and Brenda Chapman (The Lion King and Prince of Egypt), Brave is produced by Katherine Sarafian and scored by Scottish composer Patrick Doyle.
The film is readying itself for a U.K. rollout in August 2012 and will be presented in Disney Digital 3D in select cinemas.

As a multi-use concrete roundhouse monstrosity, few tears were shed when the Eagles played their final game at Veterans Stadium. But for 30 years, Philadelphia called the Vet home, and the great moments experienced at the old stadium will live on forever!
This fantastic panoramic poster, from photographer Rob Arra's legendary Everlasting Images collection, features a view from the end zone during first quarter action of Eagles football in Philly on a beautiful, crisp fall Sunday afternoon. With Donovan McNabb taking the snap, looking for a creative way to convert on 3rd-and-10...SNAP! The moment is preserved for all-time, and is now available for your wall. From the scoreboards and video screens around the facade, to the tens of thousands of fans watching history unfold, to the sideline entourages, to the action on the field between the yellow goal posts, to the giant replica Liberty Bell, it's all here, the beloved home of countless great moments in Philly sports history! Perfect for the wall of any fan, worthy of a nice frame and a prominent place on the wall of home or office.

He moves pretty well in his exhibitions so I wonder if he would be good at dancing too :D
lol His pop dancing in his Justin Bieber exhibition number is... probably better than most skaters, though still far from the level of a competent pop performer. I really, really can't imagine Yuzuru as a member of any boy band though. There's something fiercely individualistic about him. I just can't imagine him subsuming himself in that kind of lockstep movement and dynamic for long.
doctor2014, Welcome to Golden Skate! We hope you post long and often.
I especially love reports from people who saw a competition live! Thank you for telling us about seeing Yuzuru skate.
Thanks for your warm welcome, dorispulaski.
Ive actually seen several competitions live already, but Ive been busy for work so was lazy to post. Thank Hanyu for skating brilliantly and so stimulating me to post and ask about him.
Ill try to find time to post more about him and other skaters Ive also seen live.
i would love to watch him live :P i've only been to one competition, Skate Canada, so far....wish I had the money to go to more haha
Hino is still very young, and it's perfectly reasonable for him to still be competing at the junior level. With so many talented Japanese skaters, he'd be better off developing as a junior and gaining a positive reputation for himself that way.
* Of the competitors with Wikipedia entries, only one was younger: Czech skater Petr Coufal, who finished 19th (ETA: the youngest competitor appears to have been China's Wenbo Zang).

I should be working, so I'm not going to actually go through each of the 46 skaters, but feel free, if you'd like.
The clip from medal ceremony is so cute. Speaking of manga, he really reminds me of Akira in Hikaru no go.
Yuzuru turns 17 today! Maybe for his late birthday gift the gods will heal his ankles and give him two outstanding performances at the GPF


text: Iowa State is just straight up taking it to Oklahoma St...the game's tied at 24 with 4:00 left in the game. ISU's defense has been playing some inspired football. Weeden does have his yards,but that Iowa St. defense has forced him into some ugly throws that were off the mark,and that ISU CB who's covering Blackmon has played him great. Yeah Blackmon has around 100 yards,but Leonard Johnson,the ISU CB on Blackmon has blanketed him big time in this game,and also for you OSU fans,you guys need a ground game and a defense badly. All in all,this has been a really good game.

Here are the top 10 questions we expect the 2013 high school football season to answer:
1. Can Montgomery County break its state-title drought? No Montgomery County team has won a championship since 2008, when Sherwood claimed the Class 4A title. Only once before, 1982 and 1983, had the county gone even two consecutive years without a championship.
2. Will Quince Orchard break through its runner-up ceiling? Quince Orchard has narrowly lost the last two 4A state championships, and again, the Cougars appear poised to advance deep into the playoffs. Add wide receiver/running back Kevin Joppy and defensive lineman transferring in, and Quince Orchard is a favorite to win its third state title.
3. Is the county's best team a public or private school? Usually, Good Counsel holds the title of the county's, if not the state's, top team. But hit heavily by graduation, Good Counsel showed vulnerability in an opening-week loss to Gilman. Quince Orchard might have enough talent to outrank Good Counsel's recruits. Private Bullis is a wildcard that could be ready to assume the crown if Good Counsel and Quince Orchard falter.
4. What level has Bullis reached? Pat Cilento, in his fourth season at the helm, continues to lift Bullis into the upper echelon of the area's football scene. Prior to hiring Cilento, Bullis went 4-26 in its previous seasons. This season, Bullis is ranked in top five of The Washington Post rankings.
5. Will Damascus maintain its playoff streak? Damascus has made the playoffs the last 15 years, the longest streak ever. However, competing in a deep 3A West and having several question marks could leave the Swarmin' Hornets on the outside looking in. Last season, two 7-3 teams and an 8-2 team missed the playoffs in the region. This year, the region could be just as deep, though perhaps not quite so top heavy.
6. Will Damascus or Seneca Valley — or any other Montgomery County team — win the 3A West? Damascus and Seneca Valley held the top two seeds in the 3A West the past two years, only to see a Frederick County team win the region title. A region championship here would be a point of pride for Montgomery County.
7. Which teams will join Quince Orchard in the 4A West playoffs? Quince Orchard seems like a playoff lock. Churchill and Northwest appear to have good chances, too. Bethesda-Chevy Chase, Gaithersburg, Wootton, Wittman and Richard Montgomery are also part of a deep field of contenders.
8. Can Gaithersburg turn around? In the past five years, five Montgomery County teams — Quince Orchard, Damascus, Seneca Valley, Sherwood and Gaithersburg — have won a region title. In that same span, those five teams have combined for two losing seasons: Gaitherburg's 5-6 2011 and Gaithersburg's 3-7 2012. With Northwestern recruit Solomon Vault at running back, the county's most bipolar team could again stand with the Cadillac programs of the area.
9. How will a new coach affect teams already on the rise? Sherwood (6-4 to 9-3), Bethesda-Chevy Chase (6-5 to 7-4), Richard Montgomery (5-5 to 6-4) and Montgomery Blair (0-10 to 2-8) all improved their records from 2011 to 2012. All also hired new coaches following last season. Chris Grier, Josh Singer, Joshua Klotz and Andrew Fields are wrinkles to already-intriguing programs.
10. Are any coaches still establishing their programs ready to break through? Several coaches entering their second or third season at the helm, to varying degrees, are still trying to make their mark. Mike Neubeiser (5-5 and 8-4 at Northwest) has won a playoff game, but not a region. William Gant (4-6 and 7-4 at Poolesville) has reached the playoffs, but not won a postseason game. Kevin Watson (4-6 and 7-3 at Watkins Mill) and Jermaine Howell (4-6 and 6-4 at Einstein) have a winning season, but not a playoff berth. Tyree Spinner (4-6 at Wootton), Ernie Williams (4-6 at Wheaton), Adam Bahr (4-6 at Springbrook), Kevin Bernot (1-9 at Magruder), Seth Kenton (1-9 at Rockville) and Carlos Smith (3-7 and 3-7 at Kennedy) don't have a winning season under their belts. All will attempt to change that in 2013.

Meaning & Origins
Of Celtic origin and uncertain derivation (possibly a diminutive of a word meaning 'rock'). It was introduced into England by Breton followers of William the Conqueror, most notably Alan, Earl of Brittany, who was rewarded for his services with vast estates in the newly conquered kingdom. In Britain the variants Allan and Allen are considerably less frequent, and generally represent transferred uses of surname forms, whereas in America all three forms of the name are approximately equally common.

text: Dolphin Stories Monday, March 08, 2010 Professor Mary MacDonald Takes Part in Parliament of World's Religions 10:09 AM :: 5335 Views Le Moyne College's O'Connell Professor in the Humanities, Dr. Mary MacDonald of the Religious Studies Department, participated in the Parliament of the World's Religions held late last year in Melbourne, Australia. MacDonald presented a paper titled "Orientations to the Land in Australia," considering the perspectives of Indigenous Australians and Settler Australians and asking whether the two groups can make common cause for the benefit of all who now call Australia home. MacDonald journeyed to Australia to take part in a panel titled: "The Doctrine of Discovery and Indigenous Peoples." The panel explored the justifications given by colonial powers for forcibly acquiring the land of indigenous peoples and the collusion of the church in such acquisitions. The other participants were Dr. Philip Arnold (Religion, Syracuse University), Tonya Gonella-Frichner (Onondaga Nation, lawyer working with the U.N. Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues), Faithkeeper Oren Lyons (Onondaga Nation), and Steve Newcomb (Shawnee/Lenape, Indigenous Law Institute, columnist for Indian Country Today). In his presentation Lyons noted that we need to work as allies in educating our people about the history of the Doctrine of Discovery and its legacies. The first World's Parliament of Religions was held in 1893 in Chicago as a global dialogue of religions. One hundred years later, a second parliament was held in Chicago to celebrate the centenary and this led to a new series of parliaments which now convene every five years. The idea of the parliaments is that people of various faiths come together to listen to each other and commit themselves to working together for the sake of the Earth and its inhabitants. The latest parliament, ushered in to the sounds of the didgeridoo mingled with the music of the Royal Melbourne Philharmonic Choir and Orchestra, focused on indigenous peoples and environmental issues. In the opening ceremony Professor Joy Murphy Wandin, the senior elder of the Wurrunjeri people of the Kulin nations welcomed the participants to "country." Her welcome was followed by musical performances, blessings by the various religious groups participating in the parliament, and remarks by public officials. After a week filled with religious services, lectures, panels, and workshops, the parliament concluded with another ceremony, at which the Dalai Lama spoke. He highlighted the responsibility of those present and their communities for ensuring peace and justice in our common future. For more information about the parliament, visit www.parliamentofreligions.org/ Comments By Laurie Drake @ Wednesday, March 17, 2010 1:26 PM Mary:It was wonderful to read about your participation in the World's Parliment of Religion. No one is more worthy of representing Le Moyne College and indigenous peoples than you. Reading this story made me remember you are the most influential teacher I ever had. I wish I could have joined you.If you plan a presentation on your trip and the accomplishments of the parliment, I would love to come. In the meantime, I will visit their website.I always pray for our world and the joy peace for all would bring.

Delicious, exceptionally nutritious, high in bioflavanoids. Gardeners in warmer climates can enjoy growing blueberries by choosing one of the Southern Highbush varieties. These require fewer chill hours than the Northern Highbush which require over 1000 hours. Consider climate suitability, ripening season and fruit size when selecting varieties and include at least two different varieties for cross–pollination and fruiting (any two varieties will do, regardless of ripening time). Grow in acidic, well–drained soil. Cottonseed meal is an excellent fertilizer for blueberries along with good quality compost and peat moss.
These blueberries are 2 year plants.
