text:
The apostles laboured with much diligence, sincerity, and faithfulness. (1-7) Their sufferings for the gospel were great, yet with rich supports. (8-12) Prospects of eternal glory keep believers from fainting under troubles. (13-18)
Verses 1-7 The best of men would faint, if they did not receive mercy from God. And that mercy which has helped us out, and helped us on, hitherto, we may rely upon to help us even to the end. The apostles had no base and wicked designs, covered with fair and specious pretences. They did not try to make their ministry serve a turn. Sincerity or uprightness will keep the favourable opinion of wise and good men. Christ by his gospel makes a glorious discovery to the minds of men. But the design of the devil is, to keep men in ignorance; and when he cannot keep the light of the gospel of Christ out of the world, he spares no pains to keep men from the gospel, or to set them against it. The rejection of the gospel is here traced to the wilful blindness and wickedness of the human heart. Self was not the matter or the end of the apostles' preaching; they preached Christ as Jesus, the Saviour and Deliverer, who saves to the uttermost all that come to God through him. Ministers are servants to the souls of men; they must avoid becoming servants to the humours or the lusts of men. It is pleasant to behold the sun in the firmament; but it is more pleasant and profitable for the gospel to shine in the heart. As light was the beginning of the first creation; so, in the new creation, the light of the Spirit is his first work upon the soul. The treasure of gospel light and grace is put into earthen vessels. The ministers of the gospel are subject to the same passions and weaknesses as other men. God could have sent angels to make known the glorious doctrine of the gospel, or could have sent the most admired sons of men to teach the nations, but he chose humbler, weaker vessels, that his power might be more glorified in upholding them, and in the blessed change wrought by their ministry.
Verses 8-12 The apostles were great sufferers, yet they met with wonderful support. Believers may be forsaken of their friends, as well as persecuted by enemies; but their God will never leave them nor forsake them. There may be fears within, as well as fightings without; yet we are not destroyed. The apostle speaks of their sufferings as a counterpart of the sufferings of Christ, that people might see the power of Christ's resurrection, and of grace in and from the living Jesus. In comparison with them, other Christians were, even at that time, in prosperous circumstances.
Verses 13-18 The grace of faith is an effectual remedy against fainting in times of trouble. They knew that Christ was raised, and that his resurrection was an earnest and assurance of theirs. The hope of this resurrection will encourage in a suffering day, and set us above the fear of death. Also, their sufferings were for the advantage of the church, and to God's glory. The sufferings of Christ's ministers, as well as their preaching and conversation, are for the good of the church and the glory of God. The prospect of eternal life and happiness was their support and comfort. What sense was ready to pronounce heavy and long, grievous and tedious, faith perceived to be light and short, and but for a moment. The weight of all temporal afflictions was lightness itself, while the glory to come was a substance, weighty, and lasting beyond description. If the apostle could call his heavy and long-continued trials light, and but for a moment, what must our trifling difficulties be! Faith enables to make this right judgment of things. There are unseen things, as well as things that are seen. And there is this vast difference between them; unseen things are eternal, seen things but temporal, or temporary only. Let us then look off from the things which are seen; let us cease to seek for worldly advantages, or to fear present distresses. Let us give diligence to make our future happiness sure.
2 Corinthians 4:1-18 . HIS PREACHING IS OPEN AND SINCERE, THOUGH TO MANY THE GOSPEL IS HIDDEN.
For he preaches Christ, not himself: the human vessel is frail that God may have the glory; yet, though frail, faith and the hope of future glory sustain him amidst the decay of the outward man.
1. Therefore--Greek, "For this cause": Because we have the liberty-giving Spirit of the Lord, and with unveiled face behold His glory ( 2 Corinthians 3:17 2 Corinthians 3:18 ).
seeing we have this ministry--"The ministration of the Spirit" ( 2 Corinthians 3:8 2 Corinthians 3:9 ): the ministry of such a spiritual, liberty-giving Gospel: resuming 2 Corinthians 3:6 2 Corinthians 3:8 .
received mercy--from God, in having had this ministry conferred on us ( 2 Corinthians 3:5 ). The sense of "mercy" received from God, makes men active for God ( 1 Timothy 1:11-13 ).
we faint not--in boldness of speech and action, and patience in suffering ( 2 Corinthians 4:2 2 Corinthians 4:8-16 , &c.).
2. renounced--literally, "bid farewell to."
of dishonesty--rather, "of shame." "I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ" ( Romans 1:16 ). Shame would lead to hiding ( 2 Corinthians 4:3 ); whereas "we use great plainness of speech" ( 2 Corinthians 3:12 ); "by manifestation of the truth." Compare 2 Corinthians 3:3 , "manifestly declared." He refers to the disingenuous artifices of "many" teachers at Corinth ( 2 Corinthians 2:17 , 3:1 , 11:13-15 ).
handling . . . deceitfully--so "corrupt" or adulterate "the word of God" ( 2 Corinthians 2:17 ; compare 1 Thessalonians 2:3 1 Thessalonians 2:4 ).
commending--recommending ourselves: recurring to 2 Corinthians 3:1 .
to--to the verdict of.
every man's conscience--( 2 Corinthians 5:11 ). Not to men's carnal judgment, as those alluded to ( 2 Corinthians 3:1 ).
in the sight of God--( 2 Corinthians 2:17 , Galatians 1:10 ).
3. But if--Yea, even if (as I grant is the case).
hid--rather (in reference to 2 Corinthians 3:13-18 ), "veiled." "Hid" (Greek, Colossians 3:3 ) is said of that withdrawn from view altogether. "Veiled," of a thing within reach of the eye, but covered over so as not to be seen. So it was in the case of Moses' face.
to them--in the case only of them: for in itself the Gospel is quite plain.
that are lost--rather, "that are perishing" ( 1 Corinthians 1:18 ). So the same cloud that was "light" to the people of God, was "darkness" to the Egyptian foes of God ( Exodus 14:20 ).
4. In whom--Translate, "In whose case."
god of this world--The worldly make him their God ( Philippians 3:19 ). He is, in fact, "the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that ruleth in the children of disobedience" ( Ephesians 2:2 ).
minds--"understandings": "mental perceptions," as in 2 Corinthians 3:14 .
them which believe not--the same as "them that are lost" (or "are perishing"). Compare 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 . SOUTH quaintly says, "when the malefactor's eyes are covered, he is not far from his execution" ( Esther 7:8 ). Those perishing unbelievers are not merely veiled, but blinded ( 2 Corinthians 3:14 2 Corinthians 3:15 ): Greek, not "blinded," but "hardened."
light of the glorious gospel of Christ--Translate, "The illumination (enlightening: the propagation from those already enlightened, to others of the light) of the Gospel of the glory of Christ." "The glory of Christ" is not a mere quality (as "glorious" would express) of the Gospel; it is its very essence and subject matter.
image of God--implying identity of nature and essence ( John 1:18 , Colossians 1:15 , Hebrews 1:3 ). He who desires to see "the glory of God," may see it "in the face of Jesus Christ" ( 2 Corinthians 4:6 , 1 Timothy 6:14-16 ). Paul here recurs to 2 Corinthians 3:18 . Christ is "the image of God," into which "same image" we, looking on it in the mirror of the Gospel, are changed by the Spirit; but this image is not visible to those blinded by Satan [ALFORD].
5. For--Their blindness is not our fault, as if we had self-seeking aims in our preaching.
preach . . . Christ . . . the Lord--rather, "Christ as Lord," and ourselves as your servants, &c. "Lord," or "Master," is the correlative term to "servants."
6. For--proof that we are true servants of Jesus unto you.
commanded the light--Greek, "By speaking the word, commanded light" ( Genesis 1:3 ).
hath shined--rather, as Greek, "is He who shined." (It is God) who commanded light, &c., that shined, &c., ( Job 37:15 ): Himself our Light and Sun, as well as the Creator of light ( Malachi 4:2 , John 8:12 ). The physical world answers to the spiritual.
in our hearts--in themselves dark.
to give the light--that is, to propagate to others the light, &c., which is in us (compare Note,
the glory of God--answering to "the glory of Christ"
in the face of Jesus Christ--Some of the oldest manuscripts retain "Jesus." Others omit it. Christ is the manifestation of the glory of God, as His image ( John 14:9 ). The allusion is still to the brightness on Moses' "face." The only true and full manifestation of God's brightness and glory is "in the face of Jesus" ( Hebrews 1:3 ).
7. "Lest any should say, How then is it that we continue to enjoy such unspeakable glory in a mortal body? Paul replies, this very fact is one of the most marvellous proofs of God's power, that an earthen vessel could bear such splendor and keep such a treasure" [CHRYSOSTOM, Homilies, 8.496, A]. The treasure or "the light of the knowledge of the glory of God." The fragile "earthen vessel" is the body, the "outward man" ( 2 Corinthians 4:16 ; compare 2 Corinthians 4:10 ), liable to afflictions and death. So the light in Gideon's pitchers, the type ( Judges 7:16-20 Judges 7:22 ). The ancients often kept their treasures in jars or vessels of earthenware. "There are earthen vessels which yet may be clean; whereas a golden vessel may be filthy" [BENGEL].
that the excellency of the power, &c.--that the power of the ministry (the Holy Spirit), in respect to its surpassing "excellency," exhibited in winning souls ( 1 Corinthians 2:4 ) and in sustaining us ministers, might be ascribed solely to God, we being weak as earthen vessels. God often allows the vessel to be chipped and broken, that the excellency of the treasure contained, and of the power which that treasure has, may be all His ( 2 Corinthians 4:10 2 Corinthians 4:11 , John 3:30 ).
may be of God . . . not of us--rather, as Greek, "may be God's (may be seen and be thankfully [ 2 Corinthians 4:15 ] acknowledged to belong to God), and not (to come) from us." The power not merely comes from God, but belongs to Him continually, and is to be ascribed to him.
8. Greek, "BEING hard pressed, yet not inextricably straitened; reduced to inextricable straits" (nominative to "we have," 2 Corinthians 4:7 ).
on every side--Greek, "in every respect" (compare 2 Corinthians 4:10 , "always"; 2 Corinthians 7:5 ). This verse expresses inward distresses; 2 Corinthians 4:9 , outward distresses ( 2 Corinthians 7:5 ). "Without were fightings; within were fears." The first clause in each member of the series of contrasted participles, implies the earthiness of the vessels; the second clause, the excellency of the power.
perplexed, but not in despair--Greek, "not utterly perplexed." As perplexity refers to the future, so "troubled" or "hard pressed" refers to the present.
9. not forsaken--by God and man. Jesus was forsaken by both; so much do His sufferings exceed those of His people ( Matthew 27:46 ).
cast down--or "struck down"; not only "persecuted," that is, chased as a deer or bird ( 1 Samuel 26:20 ), but actually struck down as with a dart in the chase ( Hebrews 11:35-38 ). The Greek "always" in this verse means, "throughout the whole time"; in 2 Corinthians 4:11 the Greek is different, and means, "at every time," "in every case when the occasion occurs."
10. bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus--that is, having my body exposed to being put to death in the cause of Jesus (the oldest manuscripts omit "the Lord"), and having in it the marks of such sufferings, I thus bear about wheresoever I go, an image of the suffering Saviour in my own person ( 2 Corinthians 4:11 , 2 Corinthians 1:5 ; compare 1 Corinthians 15:31 ). Doubtless, Paul was exposed to more dangers than are recorded in Acts (compare 2 Corinthians 7:5 , 11:26 ). The Greek for "the dying" is literally, "the being made a corpse," such Paul regarded his body, yet a corpse which shares in the life-giving power of Christ's resurrection, as it has shared in His dying and death.
that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body--rather, "may be." The name "Jesus," by itself is often repeated here as Paul seems, amidst sufferings, peculiarly to have felt its sweetness. In 2 Corinthians 4:11 the same words occur with the variation, "in our mortal flesh. The fact of a dying, corpse-like body being sustained amidst such trials, manifests that "the (resurrection) life also," as well as the dying, "of Jesus," exerts its power in us. I thus bear about in my own person an image of the risen and living, as well as of the suffering, Saviour. The "our" is added here to "body," though not in the beginning of the verse. "For the body is ours not so much in death, as in life" [BENGEL].
11. we which live--in the power of Christ's "life" manifested in us, in our whole man body as well as spirit ( Romans 8:10 Romans 8:11 ; 2 Corinthians 5:15 ). Paul regards his preservation amidst so many exposures to "death," by which Stephen and James were cut off, as a standing miracle ( 2 Corinthians 11:23 ).
delivered unto--not by chance; by the ordering of Providence, who shows "the excellency of His power" ( 2 Corinthians 4:7 ), in delivering unto DEATH His living saints, that He may manifest LIFE also in their dying flesh. "Flesh," the very element of decay (not merely their "body"), is by Him made to manifest life.
12. The "death" of Christ manifested in the continual "perishing of our outward man" ( 2 Corinthians 4:16 ), works peculiarly in us, and is the means of working spiritual "life" in you. The life whereof we witness in our bodily dying, extends beyond ourselves, and is brought by our very dying to you.
13. Translate as Greek, "BUT having," &c. that is, not withstanding the trials just mentioned, we having, &c.
the same spirit of faith, according as it, &c.--Compare Romans 8:15 , on the usage of "spirit of faith." The Holy Spirit acting on our spirit. Though "death worketh in us, and life in you" ( 2 Corinthians 4:12 ), yet as we have the same spirit of faith as you, we therefore [believingly] look for the same immortal life as you [ESTIUS], and speak as we believe. ALFORD not so well translates, "The same . . . faith with that described in the Scriptures" ( Psalms 116:10 ). The balance of the sentence requires the parallelism to be this, "According to that which is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak," namely, without fear, amidst "afflictions" and "deaths" ( 2 Corinthians 4:17 ).
14. Knowing--by faith ( 2 Corinthians 5:1 ).
shall raise up us also--at the resurrection ( 1 Corinthians 6:13 1 Corinthians 6:14 ).
by Jesus--The oldest manuscripts have "with Jesus."
present us--vividly picturing the scene before the eyes ( Jude 1:24 ).
with you--( 2 Corinthians 1:14 , 1 Thessalonians 2:19 1 Thessalonians 2:20 , 3:13 ).
15. For--Confirming his assertion "with you" ( 2 Corinthians 4:14 ), and "life . . . worketh in you" ( 2 Corinthians 4:12 ).
all things--whether the afflictions and labors of us ministers ( 2 Corinthians 4:8-11 ), or your prosperity ( 2 Corinthians 4:12 , 1 Corinthians 3:21 1 Corinthians 3:22 , 4:8-13 ).
for your sakes--( 2 Timothy 2:10 ).
abundant grace, &c.--rather, "That grace (the grace which preserves us in trials and works life in you), being made the greater (multiplied), by means of the greater number (of its recipients), may cause the thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God." [CHRYSOSTOM] ( 2 Corinthians 1:11 , 2 Corinthians 9:11 2 Corinthians 9:12 ). The Greek is susceptible also of this translation, "That grace, being made the greater (multiplied) on account of the thanksgiving of the greater number (for grace already received), may abound (abundantly redound) to," &c. Thus the Greek for "abound" has not to be taken in an active sense, but in its ordinary neuter sense, and so the other Greek words. Thanksgiving invites more abundant grace ( 2 Chronicles 20:19-22 , Psalms 18:3 , 50:23 ).
16. we faint not--notwithstanding our sufferings. Resuming 2 Corinthians 4:1 .
outward man--the body, the flesh.
perish--"is wearing away"; "is wasted away" by afflictions.
inward man--our spiritual and true being, the "life" which even in our mortal bodies ( 2 Corinthians 4:11 ) "manifests the life of Jesus."
is renewed--"is being renewed," namely, with fresh "grace" ( 2 Corinthians 4:15 ), and "faith" ( 2 Corinthians 4:13 ), and hope ( 2 Corinthians 4:17 2 Corinthians 4:18 ).
17. which is but for a moment--"Our PRESENT light (burden of) affliction" (so the Greek; compare Matthew 11:30 ), [ALFORD]. Compare "now for a season . . . in heaviness" ( 1 Peter 1:6 ). The contrast, however, between this and the "ETERNAL weight of glory" requires, I think, the translation, "Which is but for the present passing moment." So WAHL. "The lightness of affliction" (he does not express "burden" after "light"; the Greek is "the light of affliction") contrasts beautifully with the "weight of the glory."
worketh--rather, "worketh out."
a far more exceeding and--rather, "in a surpassing and still more surpassing manner" [ALFORD]; "more and more exceedingly" [ELLICOTT, TRENCH, and others]. Greek, "in excess and to excess." The glory exceeds beyond all measure the affliction.
18. look not at--as our aim.
things . . . seen--"earthly things" ( Philippians 3:19 ). We mind not the things seen, whether affliction or refreshment come, so as to be seduced by the latter, or deterred by the former [CHRYSOSTOM].
things . . . not seen--not "the invisible things" of Romans 1:20 , but the things which, though not seen now, shall be so hereafter.
temporal--rather, "for a time"; in contrast to eternal. English Version uses "temporal" for temporary. The Greek is rightly translated in the similar passage, "the pleasures of sin for a season."

Southland theater fans are spoiled — in a good way.
Not only can they travel to downtown Chicago for a number of Broadway shows, but they also have a bevy of close-by community theater.
Case in point is the Beverly Theatre Guild, which is billed as the oldest community theater group in Chicago.
"We truly love the theater in every aspect and we want to support our mission to constantly put up quality productions and embrace the community," said Barbara Moore, a Tinley Park resident who is the guild's publicity director.
"There's a love of the theater. There's just something about it."
The Beverly Theatre Guild has roots dating to 1929 as a program of the Chicago Park District at the Ridge Park fieldhouse.
On May 17, 1963, the troupe officially launched with "The Desk Set" at what was then St. Xavier College (now St. Xavier University) in Chicago.
Although Moore wasn't a member when the guild debuted, she was a longtime fan and officially became a member in 1980.
"We always knew about the Beverly Theatre Guild since we lived in Beverly and enjoyed their shows," the Evergreen Park native said.
"I auditioned for 'The Fantasticks' and got the part as the Mute and haven't been quiet since. It's the hardest role I ever had."
All joking aside, Moore is serious about keeping the guild going.
She is part of a committee with Emil Zabella, Cheryl Cooper and Bonnie Ryniec that planned May 17's "Fabulous @ Fifty" gala.
Although the gala is sold out, tickets are available for productions of the show on May 18-19 at Morgan Park Academy's Arts Center.
"It's basically remembering where the guild came from. Nostalgia is fabulous," Moore said.
"There are young people in there, too. It brought back many people who have not been on stage to again give their love and contributions on stage."
"Fabulous @ Fifty" also will feature Liz Kearney singing the title song from her late mother Carol Kearney's "My Home, My Heart, My Ireland."

A meal fit for a king
A meal fit for a king
With any great event comes tradition and there are certain things that have become tradition during World Dairy Expo. Many regular visitors have their favorite eating establishments, of which the Prime Quarter is a perfect example. This cook-your-own steakhouse is one of the most popular restaurants in Madison during Expo. The regular dinner meals includes various steaks and fish, ranging from 9 ounces to 23 ounces per portion. And for those that are really hungry, a challenge is issued. Grill your own 40 ounces USDA choice top sirloin and you are eligible to participate in a contest. If you eat all your dinner in less than one hour and 15 minutes, including a trip to the salad bar, a baked potato and Texas toast, you become a member of their Beefeater's Club.
If successful, you'll receive one of these nifty medallions (see photo) commemorating your amazing feat. On your next visit, you can redeem your medallion for one regular Prime Quarter dinner. I previously witnessed one individual eat all 40 ounces, but last night TWO people, at the same table, accomplished the task. Cousins Mark and Gus Rupp of Ohio had king-sized appetites when they each consumed their steak, salad, toast and potato – winning the medallion was not quite enough. To top off the evening, they had cake with ice cream for dessert!

The Stylish, Kid-Friendly Home. Here's How.
Nine designers share their advice for decorating with children in mind
By Laura Fenton
Diminutive Decor
"Compromise with whatever element you feel is delightful and attractive to your children, but never go whole hog into a kid theme," says decorator Celerie Kemble, who encourages parents to bridge the aesthetic gap between child and adult. Among Kemble's go-tos for shared family spaces are maps, like the enlarged one in this kitchen. "Maps are inherently beautiful, and they are mesmerizing to both children and grown-ups," Kemble says.
Think Outside The Frame
Instead of artwork, I've used wall decals in the boys room, says mother of three and interior designer Alexa Hampton, whose childrens walls are covered in decals of airplanes, Vespas, and other shapes. They are safe and removable, and indestructible (I think!). When the boys are older, the decals will peel right off without damaging the paint job.
Don't Give Up!
Just because you have children doesnt mean you have to give up sophisticated design, says designer Amanda Nisbet. Its like thinking we have to force ourselves to wear mom jeans, she says playfully. Nisbet advises parents to choose textiles that can be easy cleaned or those that dont show marksas she has done in this family room, which she considers to be a loyal work horse. It is a perfect setting for entertaining guests with pre- or after-dinner drinks and conversation yet equally fitting for popcorn and movies with the whole family, she says.
Be Practical With Fabrics
Most of my clients have children, so I am always asked to be practical in my fabric choices, says decorator Katie Ridder, For example, mohair (instead of velvet) is a good choice for a living room sofa because it is scrub-able. Ridder also notes that outdoor fabric has gotten so good in recent years that she uses it for indoor furniture as well. Its great for high wear-and-tear pieces like a kitchen banquette.
Storage, Storage, Storage
You don't want to have to close the doors to the kids rooms, says Christiane Lemieux, founder and creative director of DwellStudio, and author of Undecorate. Storage is key for hiding some of the plastic stuff you hate to look atbecause even if you swear it will never cross the threshold of your house, it will. The secret she says is to let it go and embrace your childs presence in the home.
Invest In Your Dining Table
Family time around the dining table is an important part of family life. Look for a dining table that works for both kids and adults, says Philip Erdoes, CEO of ducduc and a proud father of three. The Table by ducduc addresses this problem with panels that turn over from dry erase tops to walnut. It was designed so that adults and kids can eat together, side by side, says.
Be Mindful Of The Hardscape
If you want your baby's room to look neat, don't make the hardscape goofy, says David Netto, chief designer of Maclaren Nursery. If you get those bones right, no matter how messy and full of plush toys it gets in thereand it willyou have an elegant and coherent room underneath it all, and that will always shine through. His essentials: Two pieces of furniture that match gets you going in the right direction, like a crib and a changing table. Invest in a good wool carpetyou can always clean it. And I think one good-looking lamp does wonders in a kid's room.
Buy Grown-Up Pieces
Consider buying grown-up pieces that have whimsy and personality, and will grow with the room as your child growsand stay away from themes, advises Susanna Salk, author of Room for Children. Salk also notes that its important to involve your child in the decision-making process. Not only is it a great opportunity to teach them about the power of editing and compromise, but they will respect and appreciate their room all the more because it will really feel like their own.
Consult The Child
When designing for children, I think it is important to consult the child within ourselves, which I always consider in my design process, says interior designer Harry Heissmann. When shopping for children, I attempt to find items that are different than what is typically offered on the market. Hes particularly fond of the high-quality Drexel Plus One line from the 1970s, which are collector's pieces with tons of humor, color, and quirkiness. Heissmann himself is fortunate enough to own a bedside table from that line, which sits next to his bed.
One Word: Fiber-Seal
I think that decorating in a kid style feels constrained and forced, says decorator Katie Lydon, I love to use proper furniture in my daughters bedroomsthings that inspire and interest them. A baby pink and white nursery is something I just couldn't do, she adds. I think great art, cool furniture, and interesting shapes and textures are so enlivening and inspiring. Her final words of wisdom? Fiber-Seal everything!!!

The leaves on my avocado tree are turning brown. They started at the very tip and now have covered half the leave... What could be the cause? Your help would be appreciated... |

I know very little about Avocado but this is what I would do if I was in your shoes ... Anytime I saw leaf tips turning brown as you are I would check carefully the root zone ( NOT SIMPLY THE SOIL SURFACE ) ... too much or little water ?? ... too much salts ?? ... poor drainage ( Smelly rotten egg soil ? ) windy spot ?? ... I would at least make a check in the "Sunset Western Garden Book" .. Avocardo trees are sensative to ... yep ... salts .. poor drainage and wind ... the biggest problems they face in your area ... don't do anything until you check the soil in your root zone with a digging bar or soil sampler ... Lastly ... give your extension service a call ... there is a very good one in your area I believe ... it's free and they know their stuff ... Chances are you are battling the end of summer blues ... it's very hard sometimes to balance water needs and drainage in the summer in our area of the world. Good Luck ... Let me know what you find out. Good Luck ... |
Avocado is a difficult one to diagnose when the leaves brown in that pattern -- that is, from the tip upward. If your plant is in a pot, or if it was planted in the past one or two years, I'd vote for short of water. So, if that's your situation, check the potting mix/ground to determine how moist, dry,or wet it is. Then make appropriate corrections in your watering. The other possibility is truly bad news. This time the diagnosis is avocado root rot. Could happen in pots, but more likely if in the ground, this because the disease-causing fungus is widespread in So California. Again, check the soil. What you want is evenly moist, not wet, also not alternately dry then wet. And, because aavocado roots are quite close to the surface, a mulch of several inches of compost on the soil surface is beneficial. |

I have several avocado trees still in pots which I bought a few months ago and have yet to plant. During the summer the leaves turned brown but the tree was still green and doing fine. I have noticed the leaves turned brown from the intense sun. I have noticed every year when temps are 90+ degrees and the sun is unforgiving, my avocado leaves turn brown. I have since moved the trees to an area with filtered light in the afternoon and the leaves have since grew back. Overwatering or constant wet conditions can also cause leaves to turn brown, but I also have seen the trunk and branches turn rusty colored and spotted when that happens. If you plant in an area where it is muddy or water exists all of the time, your avocado will not do well. They like to be watered and allowed time to dry. Also young trees and seedlings are sensitive to wind. if exposed, they may lose their leaves, but the plant is still alive. Once the leaves are lost and it is not a pretty site at times, give it a little TLC and avoid windy areas. The tree will start regrowing leaves in no time. |

I think I know the solution to that problem... The brown tips are due to anthracnose! A big word for a small problem! Being from France I don't know the English name of that blue powder that you need to duluate into water and spray onto the tree... Anthracnose will go in no time! I'm pretty sure you can find the name of that product now that you know the name of the disease!!! Take care: |

It's called "Bouillie Bordealise" in French and the Engislh name is actually "Bordeaux Mixture"!! It's actually the common name of cupric sulfate, it's blueish and needs to be sprayed on the top and bottom of the leaves as well as the branches and and trunc! Hope i helped! |
I am in Middle Tennessee and have 3 avocado plants started from seeds, they are approximately a year + old and I have had them outside in containers for the summer and they did well until just recently. The leaves are turning brown on the tips. I wasn't sure about the cause thinking maybe it had to do something with the cold. We have just had some cold nights, where the temp dipped into the 40's and 50's. I pulled them in for the night for the colder nights, now. Will the cold affect them that way? I don't know what my zone is, some sites say 7 and others say 6. Any input would be appreciated, Thank you... |

I got one avocado tree that I brought in for the winter about two months ago and it has falling leaves and leaves with brown tips. It has ONE branch left with green leaves, some of those have the brown tips. The bare branches have black tips. Not a good sign! It did great in our central Indiana toasty summer and in my greenhouse. I have had NO LUCK trying to sprout seeds in water OR in wet dirt. I actually finally BOUGHT this tree in the spring. Bought two of them, at $45 each, but thanks to a week of hard rain, the soil in the pots turned to mud and I had to replant them twice. One died. As much as I enjoy gardening, with all the fuss and money spent on this tree, I could have enjoyed lots of avocados from the store!!! If this one croaks, I'm done trying avocado trees! |
Hi, I am in Maine. I just received an avocado tree from a friend. She is going south for the winter, so I taking care of it for her. The tree is about 1.5 feet tall.

Hello Friends, I have been growing avocado seedlings for many years, but now I cannot manage to find the cause of the brown starting on the tips of the leaves and them consuming the whole leaf. I thought it might be an acid balance problem, and therefore added some pellets to help adjust it, but it is still happening even to the new leaves. any suggestions please :-( |

I just planted a 6ft winter hardy (14 degrees)tree(Lulu I think)that just started getting brown tips. They advised me that the tree with not survive 14 temps until after 3 years or so. It must be protected duing the early years. The coldest it may get is 16 degrees and that is rare in San Antonio. Can anyone speak to their experience with the cold hardy varities? |

I would think over watering and lack of drainage is the biggest causes of problems. They probly like very sandy fine rocks alot things to help drainage. I would plant in HUGE containers with alot of sand and rock mixed w soil or in ground. Try letting it dry untill wilt then feed a good compost tea applying to roots and leavs(they like to be dry for a while befor watering). After a few weeks then it will thrive. |
I have a new avocado tree..just planted it. very careful not to overwater it. leaves are turning brown on the tips. I see a bunch of questions about this above....but I don't see any answers. Any advice? I live in Southern California/Riverside County. |

Had brown leaf problem myself - to the point of my young potted tree nearly dying - from tips and through veins on most leaves .. Come to find out it was SALTY WATER ! The water in the San Fernando valley has too high minerals and it was killing my avocado (what a sensitive plant). Decided to post to help people out who might have this problem, who are watering their tree - and in turn killing it with minerals! THE ANSWER FOR HIGH MINERAL / SALT CONTENT IN WATER : - add 3 capfuls of white vinegar to 1 gallon of water every single time you water your plant Got the 1st & 3rd idea from a flowershop nearby, and it's done wonders. According to my doctor mom Vinegar binds with salt in someway and deactivates it.. Has taken 6 months or so but all my avocado leaves are turning green and multiplying beautifully - !!! WOW !!! And the last of the brown ones are falling-off. Nearly lost my potted avocado tree - so good luck to all of you out there; may this help and your avocados thrive!!! |

been most interesting reading the letters about this problem, my avo tree came up all on its own less than a meter from my front door, started bearing fruit in the fourth year and has been bearing ever since, and we have COLD winters down to zero at times, its protected at the stem, but its about 5 meters above the roof already and has escaped destruction!!!!! Just all the leaves have varying degrees of dry brown from the tip up, 3 years going already and its bears very well, but l feel sorry for the tree and it looks miserable, will try the vinegar tip,hope it works,the avos are delicious!!!! |
eleanor, Just a thought, $0.01 worth, but if you have a concrete slab driveway or house slab, the tree roots as they grow bigger run under your house,they may be affected by the alkaline soil conditions near concrete(potassium and sodium hydroxide ions). |
Could somebody please tell me what happens to the seed after the tree grows? say about 2yrs old? My plants are indoors. We were able to keep the sprouted seed on water for over a year the leafs are about 11x4.5" and the tree itself is about 14" it hasn't drop any leaves! now is living in dirt, in a plastic plant pot 12"diameter x 10" tall, not to long ago I noticed very small flies, which doing some research and them turned out to be gnats...sad, so I replaced the dirt of my plant and rinsed throughly it's roots. Still looks kinda a sad to put it through such trauma...but I noticed it's pit is drying out. Is this normal?? As for now I'll check my planties dirt. Cheers! |

I was having this same problem with my potted Hass seedling, until I tried Elaine's tips. The combination of white vinegar and filtered water have worked WONDERS. The plant came back healthy and better than ever, and I haven't seen a brown tip since. *knock on wood* I also just started mulching with crushed tea leaves. Jury's still out on that one. |
Leaves of my avocados also turned brown after some time. I grow the plants in my appartment and try to keep the soil not to humid and not to dry although during the winter they like to have drier soil. Brown leaves turned out to be related to lack of potassium in soil (avocado itself needs a lot of it). I bought small sticks with minerals (they are called flowering plant fertilizing sticks) and put on of them in soil. The plants started giving new leaves and new branches! So far with no brown spots on it. |
Anthracnose is usually spottiness throughout the entire leaf. Your problem is almost certainly nutrition, too much or too little. I don't know about salts/ph, but in other tropicals zinc and manganese shortage/overage can cause this. If it is in the ground and you are overfertilizing, not much you can do. If it is in a pot, you can try flushing it with water to wash away excess, just don't drown it. If you are not fertilizing, do it, just make sure that it contains trace elements. Follow the guidelines for fertilizing avocados. |
Hi. I went on-line looking for advice about my Avocado Tree leave tips turning brown, and I went with the advice about adding 3 caps of white vinegar per gallon of water. And it has worked! It seems my water is too salty for my tree. All the new leaves that are coming in on my tree, Coco, are staying green. And since he is in clayee soil, I only water him once a week. He gets 3 gallons of water and I'll give him used coffee grinds which he seems to love too. I am so happy, Coco is happy. |
Perhaps the vinegar added to the water is simply lowering the pH into a more desirable range for your trees. I could see this working if your plants are in pots. You may want to test the pH of your soil. |

My avocado tree is having the same issue. I have tried the vingear and it has made it worse. Today in the morning it lost about 10 to 15 leaves. It was growing really well for the past 2 months. any other suggestions? |
What have you done different in the last 3 weeks. I would stop watering it untill its dry completely. Go to a lumber store and get a wooden dowel 3/16, sharpen the end and stick it down the sides of the pot then touch dowel with your fingers, you want no moisture before you add anymore water. When you add water, spour it slow on the sides of the pot not down the rootstock. Find a way to get the chlorine out of the water, shower filter at home depot $20, get the family off the chlorine. |

thats a great idea cureno! i will try that... over the weekend I talked to the person who sold me the tree. And she said that is normal here in south texas as long as its giving out new leaves and fruit. Mine hasn't fruited yet but it does have alot of new leaves and stems. I usually leave my bucket filled with water for a couple days in the sun before i water my tree. |

wow that's awesome tree!! I live in Harlingen. I just planted mine like 2 months ago. its about 4 feet tall. Here is a pic I took yesterday. |
Your tree looks very fine to me, the infor I wrote was for trees in pots. the 25 footer in my pic was placed in a pot as a seed in 1980, then at 3 foot it was planted in the ground and six other stems came out of the ground, it would look dry dead after every freeze and it would turn all green every spring, at 8 foot it was freeze hardy and the freeze didn'nt effect it anymore. Dont know the variety but good flavor and lemon size fruit, I also have in pots a Wilma 7', Fantastic 6', Joey 5', Brogdon 5' foot and a Brazo's Belle 5' and Mexican Grande 5'. I repotted all of them 2013 spring to larger pots and was lucky not to lose one, The first two I bought was the Brazo and Mexicola G and they loss half their leaves because of to much watering, I learn fast not to do that with the rest. I used clean scotty top soil with play sand 50/50 to get better drainage, I kept the root ball in tack and add the new soil on bottom and sides of pot and only water on the sides of the pot. I hear the Nurseries down south Texas use Lula for rootstock. They use Lula because it can handle many different soils but they graft it to a more cold hardy Mexican variety. What varitey is your avocado? |

I dug a large hole, about 2 to 3 feet deep and a 3 feet wide. I have a heavy clay soil. I was told to add play sand at bottom and on top so i did with topsoil and fertilized dirt (i forogt the maker). The first couple of weeks it was growing alot and then the leave were falling off but new ones are coming. I water it every 3 or 4 days. I dont know what variety I got. I think its a lula. I bought it at the flea market in Brownsville. I need to ask the lady that sold it to me. |
I can't tell how large your leaves are, but on my grafted Joey avocado I have a stem growing out of the ground and it's from under the graft so I was told that the rootstock is a lula. The leaves from this 2 foot stem from the rootstock has very large leaves and when I crush the leaves in my hand, the smell was NOT licorice (as anise). They say all Mex variety will smell like licorice, the seven Mex variety I have all smell like licorice. See if your smells like green grass or Licorice... Here is a pic of the large leaves probably Guatemalan or Hybrid... |
has anyone found anymore possible causes and solutions? i also tried the vinegar tip and it made it worse, just like sdelafuente said. anyone ever find out if the vinegar was effecting the ph, salts, minerals, all of those, or 2 of the three? i can always return them to home depot, but i would prefer to save them. ive grown attached to these 2 trees. also a side note, this week i went to home depot and all of their avocado trees, yes i repeat ALL of their avocado trees were browning up. when i bought these two all of their trees were green and beautiful with very little leaf browning. also another thing to note and may be significant is ive noticed as they got worse the bottom on the stump has a white residue that comes up 8 inches or so from the ground. these are in 24 inch pots and it came in a 5 gallon pot. i dont think it was the repotting or anything else i did due to all the trees at home depot having the same issues. please help. |
- Posted by sdelafuente 9 (My Page) on Fri, Sep 13, 13 at 17:41
how often do you water them? That white stuff might be mold. |
I've had a similar problem. This is my second avocado to do this, I have 2 others that are doing fine. I keep this indoors under 4 grow lights and now that fall is here the temp of the room gets down to about 60F. The tree is about a year old maybe less and about a month ago started browning. I wait for the soil to dry before watering and I have well water. I also use compost tea. Any ideas? |
Neko, You are fighting several problems that are inherent growing plants indoors under lights as well as well water. Have you had an analysis done on your well water? The leaf looks like chlorosis so may not be getting certain micro nutrients or worse your soil Ph is off not allowing to roots to uptake the nutrients. If your soil is too alkaline from the well water chlorosis will occur. Check your water and soil Ph, the type(makeup of nutrients) of fertilizer you are using and the closeness of your lights (heat). Also post this thread on the fruit tree, container tree forum. Gl JMHO Aloha |
I have a six ft tall tree that I have to bring in every winter and the leaves do that every time it's moved, whether I'm moving it outside in the spring or inside for the winter. I've learned to accept it because it's always putting out new leaves and eventually recovers. |
hi there, this thread has been helpful. here is my tree. is very sad. i re potted it. although i think i need a bigger pot. I have had it for 10 years! i live in Vermont and I hate to see it die. it was growing new leaves and the big ones are brow and yellow. every day at least 5 fall off. today i watered it until it leaked. i have clean mountain well water. |
Hi! I'm an amateur gardener(?) This is my first time growing anything really... I grew this guy out of a pit. It's been about 5 months, give or take. It's about 2 feet tall now. He was doing really well, but he recently started getting brown spots on a lot of the leaves... Diagnosis? |
mt, I would ask this question on the tree forum or container forum. You also need to include some more details of how you are growing the tree. How much and frequency of watering, what fertilizer you are using and how much. What type of soil is the plant in. The more info the better the advice. The tree forum can give you info on what is the problem with the leaves and whether it should be indoors or not and when can it be moved outside and how quickly. It looks like you have done well so far. GL Aloha |

I've had the same brown-leaf problems with several potted avocado trees that are now over six feet tall. A couple months ago I began wondering if soil pH was a problem (soil too acidic). So I began mixing in powdered calcium (lime) with the water to sweeten the pH. So far, not a brown leaf in sight! I definitely think this has had a positive benefit. If you want to try this, please note: The standard pelletized or powdered lime you buy for your yard grass is cheap but has much less calcium in it. Look for a "High-Cal" powdered lime (more expensive, but much better). I would mix 1/4 to 1/2 cup in a large watering can of water. Put the powder in the watering can first, then use a high pressure hose to fill the can so it can mix the calcium in well, then water the ago trees. |
I have 2 trees. Have had 2 weeks. Mexicali and Zutano They both had some small holes in leaves when I got them. The Zutano had a new branch with nice leaves no holes. After a week the holes got worse. I found the little moth things laying eggs in leaves' sprayed with Very Diluted malathion, and a bit of soapy water. I let set a couple hours then rinsed thoroughly. Now 3 days later overnight the spotting on the pretty Zutano. They also are more chewed and brown happening too. Please help me I so want to plant these trees next year. |

i was having some issues with leaves having holes last year. In the fall, I used fruit spray with malathion on all my trees in the spring. I haven't see as many holes on them. I see you are in the same zone 9, you shouldn't sprayed it only in the winter and/or spring. I see that they are in a pot, I would suggest having them in the ground or in a bigger pot. They look good! |
My tree is still doing poorly. larger pot, moved outside part sun part shade.. i used neem oil on my roses last year, they had holes in the leaves and dark spots. I will go to the Agway tomorrow and see what they have. It seems i get new leaves and then they go bad so i suspect it is systemic. spider mites? you all have been helpful! |
Hi, we live in Sydney Australia (so I think we are in zone 11) and have several baby avocado trees, all from seeds which we've planted. They are less than 1 year old. In the last month or so, we noticed brown or rusty colour on the leaves, and they don't necessarily started from the tip of the leaves. We usually water it when the soil feels dry to avoid overwatering. Soil drains very well. We did sprayed them once with Yates Scale Gun thinking it might kill whatever it is. The plants are getting worse and we have no clue what's wrong, does anyone know? Please help. |
Here is an interesting article that offers some solutions.. http://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/environmental/what-causes-brown-edges-on-leaves-of-plant.htm This is either an issue with overwatering, not enough water, the type of water (salt and mineral content), or the type of soil the tree is planted in. Hope this helps! |
KKK. looks like you could repot in a larger container. and place in a spot that has part sun part shade. mine was doing well all summer and now it has been inside since end of September. and it is unhappy again. holes in the leaves and turning yellow and brown and falling off. it is 6 foot tall! this summer i gave it a new big pot and used the Rose RX / Neem oil spray and that took care of any fungus or pests. It was beautiful! I will try to buy some more spray and try that again. |
here is another good article.. http://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/disease/bacterial-leaf-spot.htm as i said before the Neem oil worked so i would try that. |
There are calculators for irrigating these in different areas. Could you provide your general location? I.e. southern California. And the type of soil the tree is planted in? |
people like to jump to a worst case scenario of arachnose or fungus or something----BROWN TIPS most likely cause is OVERFERTILIZING-----Avocado (and mangoes) are light feeders, they like small amounts of the same type of fertilizer with INCREMENTAL increases----start with 1 handful of 2-10-10 per month in the growing season,,monitor for 3 months,,the tree will tell you when its time for the incremental increase--- if you see no growth or yellowing on the oldest leaves probaly time for an increase to 2 HFs of 2-10-10----I went from 4-10-10 to 6-6-6 to save money one time and he did not like it and tips turned brown-----when you get brown tips,,,,DO NOT FERTILIZE for a long while (1-3 months) until he recovers with hopefully new growth(looks like buds) from the overdose-----I don't water either b/c the fertilizers are water soluble---JUST DO NOTHING, and I pray |

A nice cover of Hold It Against Me
A nice cover of Hold It Against Me
if i said i want your body now, would you hold it against me...
Big announcement from Britney tomorrow!
Yeah...I'm definitely freaking out! Amazing!
I love the name of the album!
Femme Fatale!!
WOOOHOOOOO can't freaking wait to hear this album. I will try my best to avoid it when it leaks but !!!!!!!!!
I can't wait for FEMME FATALE! So fucking fierce! It's about time she shows all these hoes who's the Queen!
The first teaser for the Hold It Against Me music video! 13 days!
Gah she's so legendary! Femme Fatale has been trending on twitter for almost 3 days. That teaser is just the beginning. She's gonna slay this era.
13 more days!!!??
UGH!!! I can't take it!!!
She looks AMAZING. So so so amazing.
It seems like the video is gonna be awesome.
She looks so good! Teaser #5
Oh, okay. Just y'know..this...
Anyway, whatever. It's set for release now, soNEW YORK (Billboard) - Britney Spears' new album is slated for a March 15 release, according to a leaked one-sheet created by her label Jive Records that outlines the marketing campaign for the set. Jive confirmed to MTV News that the date listed on the sheet is accurate.
She's working on a song with Will.I.Am, she tweeted this:
A song with Will.I.Am?? That's gonna be awesome.In the studio with @iamwill…you guys are gonna love this one. - Britney
And the video will come out:
Feb. 17th...9:56 PM…MTV....The WORLD PREMIERE of the Hold It Against Me video...directed by Jonas Akerlund http://bit.ly/hCaXka -Britney
I like that she's expanding and working with different producers. She's been working for the past 2 years on this thing and still going at it so I think she really wants it to be the best it can be. She' been in and out of dance and recording studios pretty much non stop since december so I think we've got something pretty awesome to look forward to.
I thought it was kind of funny that everyone was going on about "OMG Britney's doing dubstep!" with Hold It Against Me, when she's already done it, on "Freakshow" from Blackout...
I ended up writing a pair of posts about dubstep, one on Britney and one on Ke$ha because Ke$ha has an unreleased track that's SICK and I couldnt pass up the opportunity.
That said, Femme Fatale better be off the hook
I never really listened to her that much before, so I'm pretty ignorant towards most of what she has done. One of the reasons I do like this song is because of the incorporation of dubstep. I'll have to check out that song as well, though.
The release date was going to be the 15th of March, but it was never formally announced by the label. It was information that got leaked to the press. Jive just confirmed that the information was true. The first time the album was ever formally announced was yesterday. So, the release date didn't get pushed back or anything, because it was never supposed to be announced in the first place.
I am looking forward to the album, though. I have been a Britney fan since Day 1 in 1998!! "Crazy" is the video that turned me into an official fan:
Britney is the only pop artist I've ever actually really liked !
What has she been up to since the Circus tour ??
New bath pictures up right now
Check this out! Gay porn star Roman Heart starring in a parody music video of "Hold It Against Me" for CRUSH, a smokefree movement in the LGBT community:
when I read this it sure makes me think all those critics who say Britney is not involved in her projects are right...
Spears Album 'Not Done' Yet, Says Dr. Luke
"Femme Fatale," Britney Spears' seventh studio album, has a lead single that has topped the Hot 100, official album artwork, and a Mar. 15 release date that is slowly approaching. However, executive producer Lukasz "Dr. Luke" Gottwald, tells Rolling Stone that he and a band of A-list producers are still finalizing the follow-up to 2008's "Circus."
"It's not done," says Dr. Luke, who helmed lead single "Hold It Against Me" along with the album's co-executive producer Max Martin and Billboard (who is a producer). "We're in the middle of it right now. It's a little bit fluid right now. I can't even say at this stage what songs for sure are making it and what songs aren't. We're working with a lot of producers and overseeing it with her A&R and record label and management and trying to make something cohesive."
The producer confirmed that he and Martin will be involved with several songs on "Fatale," while "Toxic" co-producer Bloodshy and "Circus" co-producer Benny Blanco will also contribute production to the record. Spears announced the title and revealed the album artwork to "Fatale" on Wednesday (Feb. 2), writing on Twitter, "This album is for you, my fans, who have always supported me and have stuck by me every step of the way! I love you all!"
Dr. Luke also revealed that "Hold It Against Me," Spears' latest single which slips to No. 8 on this week's Hot 100, might have never been hers to sing -- fellow female pop star Katy Perry was originally considered to handle the vocals.
"We might have played it for her, but it definitely wasn't a Katy Perry record," Dr. Luke says. "We had it for a while. I wanted to make sure it didn't sound like everything else I've done. I brought it into Billboard, and he just killed it. It can be hard in the verse, and the bridge is super, super hard, but the chorus is super-pop. You can play that chorus acoustically on a guitar and it's still going to sound great."
Britney Twitter Q&A Today!
The thing that bothers me is what appears to be the fact that her manager is sending out tweets on her twitter and signing them with her name. Britney's tweets, at least the ones that I feel are actually coming directly from her own fingers, are always personable and sweet and she signs them -Brit.
This one signed -Britney for example.
^I don't believe for one second that Britney would ever make such a "robotic" tweet as that! Yet it's signed -Britney. Come on!
This one is signed -Brit
^It's personable and sweet. It's Britney! Or is it? See, that's the problem!
I can't wait for the next teaser! This video will be the best!
Also, this Q and A is going to be interesting. I hope she talks about the video and if she will tour.
There is nothing like seeing Britney live with hundreds of other fans!!!
Teaser #6!!!
I love the teasers
if i said i want your body now, would you hold it against me...
Will.I.Am said he saw her tweeting in the studio. I mean I think of course sometimes her tweets come from management but I also think she tweets a lot too. I'm excited for this q and a. I can't wait to see what good information we're gonna get about tour, promo, and the album!
BTW Brit during the q and a just tweeted she loves Gaga and thinks she's a very interesting artist. Can we stop the brit/gaga war now?
Britney VS Britney
It's Midnight on the East Coast.
It's OVAH Britney!
Teaser #7
Teaser #8 supposedly leaked early
Teaser #8 is the best so far guys
I'm so excited
Cant wait for the CD to come out.
Aw Britney, what's your thread doing all the way down here? Come, let TD fix it.
Some highlights of the Twitter Q&A.
Well that's that.will you YOURSELF give us an answer about the Grammy rumor? (from @themrspears) I won't be there and was never planning on going.
So as not to be accused of thread/forum dragging, I won't give the actual name of the site.
I went over to Brit's BH forum for the 1st time, just heard about it the other day, and right in Brit's main subforum, a thread had been started telling the other members to tweet "freebornthisway" and provide a link to the free download. That's what they're doing over there! And thread after thread, post after post of the most delusional crap ever written on the web! lol
Here's my favorite quote! It's a fuckin jewel, I promise! I almost pissed myself from laughing!
^It leaves you speechless, doesn't it? As if! LOLBritney shall boycott Vogue
They're obviously pressed cause Brit Brit probably declined doing their cover, and they had to settle with the lesser being, Lady GaGa.
BreatheHeavy is a bunch of psychos that give Britney fans a bad name. If you want a true fansite/forum for all things Britney, visit BMK which is short for BadMediaKarma forum.
Looking forward to the new teaser tomorrow and the music video this upcoming week.
I wouldn't say it's her main forum but it does have a lot of fans on there. However, most of them are just crazy and can't post coherent thoughts so instead they post stuff like "GODNEY RULEZ!", "beYAWNce is so FAKE!", and "TRANNYGAGA SUX! BRIT 4EVER!"
It's really really annoying. You can't have a legit conversation on there.
Back in the day I used to go to Pop Prodigy and everyone there was really nice but that forum has since disappeared.
I think a lot of it has to do with the webmaster over there. He totally fuels the immature attitude. I don't really trust him because apparently he had connections with Sam Lutfi (the guy controlling Britney back in 06-07).
Hold It Against Me
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Hold It Against Me" is a song by American recording artist Britney Spears. It was released as the first single from her upcoming seventh studio album, Femme Fatale. "Hold It Against Me" was written by Max Martin, Dr. Luke, Bonnie McKee and Billboard, while being produced by Luke, Martin and Billboard. After a demo version of the song performed by McKee was leaked, the finished version premiered on January 10, 2011. Musically, "Hold It Against Me" features industrial beats, a dubstep-influenced breakdown and a final chorus with elements of rave. The lyrics portray the singer seducing someone on the dancefloor, while the chorus revolves around pick-up lines.
Most reviewers praised the song, although some criticized its lyrical content. "Hold It Against Me" has become a commercial success, debuting at number one in Belgium Wallonia, Canada, Denmark, Finland and New Zealand, as well as on the US Billboard Hot 100, where it became her fourth chart topper. In the United States, "Hold It Against Me" made Spears the second artist in Billboard's history to debut at number one more than once, behind Mariah Carey. The feat also made her the third female artist to ever score no. 1 singles in three consecutive decades and only the seventh artist ever to accomplish such a feat. [1]Additionally, the single has charted in the top ten in countries such as Australia, Ireland, Italy, Sweden, Finland and the United Kingdom. An accompanying music video for the song is set to be released on February 17, 2011

Inside this Issue
Issue 21
Italian automobile, transport and industrial design house Bertone was founded in 1912 as a carriage construction and repair shop but is now responsible for some of the most cutting-edge car designs seen over the last century. This exhibition, held at the National Car Museum in Turin, Italy, showcased the company's history, from coaches built by hand to legendary models designed for Alfa Romeo, Lamborghini, Lancia and Fiat.
The 1995 Bertone Kayak was designed to embody the spirit of larger Lancia coupes and "reinterpret the past in a modern way."
The 1973 Ferrari Dino 308 GT4 was a four-seater with a mid-engine design (8-cylinder V, 2926 cc, 255 horsepower at 7,700 rpm). Bertone gave its interior a "bright and cheerful" look and gave its exterior many of its signature features, such as a "diving" side panel, the B pillar rear air intakes and a vertical rear window.
Certainly the oddest vehicle included in the exhibition, the 1994 Bertone Z.E.R. -- "Zero Emission Record" -- was powered by 36 lead-acid batteries and intended to "test the extreme limits of an electric vehicle." It would go on to set the world speed record for EVs weighing less than 1,000 lbs. at the Nardo high-speed test track in Lecce with a speed of 300 kmh.
The 2004 Aston Martin Jet 2 is a sophisticated car by any measure -- it helps that James Bond helped make the marque famous -- but there's more than meets the eye. What first appears to be a run-of-the-mill Aston Martin Vanquish V12 is actually a custom-built car in homage to the original Jet, designed by Nuccio Bertone himself for Aston Martin (it was based on the DB4 GT) in 1961.
Another shot of the 2004 Aston Martin Jet 2.
The 2003 BMW Birusa is a concept car that explored how a classic car type -- in this case, the "GT" format, with a front engine, rear wheel drive and two seats -- could look in the future. This model borrows its chassis and engineering from BMW's Z8, including a 400-horsepower V8 engine and 6-speed manual gearbox, but attempts to take BMW's signature look in a new direction.
The 2007 Fiat Barchetta is a concept car built on the company's Panda platform, and as such borrows its floorplan and mechanics from the 100-horsepower car. This model was designed to pay homage to the 1947 coach-built Fiat 500 Barchetta, which was designed by Nuccio Bertone and built for his personal use. This 95th anniversary model celebrates a more than 80-year collaboration between the companies.
It may look like a sailboat in some ways, but the 1969 Bertone Runabout is all car. It was first presented at the Turin Motor Show in 1969 and indeed takes inspiration from more seaworthy vessels. The engine inside this wedge is from the Fiat 128. The model was used as the basis for future development of the Lancia Stratos rally car and the Fiat X119.
Bertone didn't just design for Italian brands. Here's a 2010 Jaguar B99 -- "B" for Bertone, 99 for the company's age at that time -- built for the 2011 Geneva Motor Show. Like the BMW Birusa included earlier in this slideshow, Bertone sought to take Jaguar's classic look and bring it into the future. What we get here is a four-door sedan with a hybrid powertrain, as well as the fifth Jaguar designed by Bertone during its long history.
What can be said about this bright green 1969 Fiat Dino Coupe? For starters, it's a 2+2 sports sedan with "aggressive elegance," Bertone says, and a 6-cylinder engine (1987 cc, 160 horsepower at 7,500 rpm) that can top out at 200 kmh. In other words, this is what "granturismo" is all about.
The Bertone exhibition is an astounding collection of some of the greatest sports cars ever made. It's hard to believe they're all in the same room together.
The 1985 Lamborghini Countach is the product of a long design process that started in 1971, when the mid-engine model was first presented at the Geneva Motor Show. Here, Bertone got aggressive, eliminating parts and making sure that everything you see has "a functional choice." The result: "the ultimate sports car" that continues to define Lamborghini today.
This is the rear of the 1970 Alfa Romeo Montreal, a prototype created for the 1967 Expo Montreal in Canada. It was Alfa Romeo's big splash into a profitable overseas market. The car was intended to satisfy "the maximum aspiration reached by man when it comes to creating cars." For Bertone, that means classy, futuristic and consistent with styling during that period.
The Fiat 850 Spider America first debuted at the 1965 Geneva Motor Show and was popular enough to allow for 140,000 to be built. It was key in giving the Fiat brand a strong image in North America. This car, the 1968 Sport Spider, was one of several different versions of the original model. Others included the Berlinetta (with a hard vinyl top), a convertible and a Racer Team edition with a metal roof.
You know you've done something right when you can shock the public, and that's what Bertone did here with the 1968 Alfa Romeo Carabo. It first appeared at the Paris Motor Show of that year and made quite an impression: wedge shape, headlight design, "elytron" doors that resembled the wings of a beetle (hence "carabo") and a height of just 99 centimeters. Under the hood are the mechanics of the Alfa Romeo 33/2 Stradale: 1995 cc V8 engine making 230 horsepower, a tubular frame chassis and a 260 kmh top speed.
This is how most people see Lamborghinis, from behind. The 1966 Miura was certainly no slouch in this regard, making "all the other sports cars look 10 years older," a journalist wrote when it first appeared at the Geneva Motor Show of that year. The model has a steel box frame chassis with a transversally-mounted 12-cylinder engine making 350 horsepower at 7,000 rpm that pushed the car to 290 kmh. Bertone says this model became a status symbol for its sensual look, and as such, the vehicle you're looking at in the photo is Nuccio Bertone's personal one.
Here's the 1963 Chevrolet Corvair Testudo, which first appeared at the Geneva Motor Show with Nuccio Bertone himself behind the wheel. It was designed in only two months and took the Bowtie Brand into the future with a transparent one-piece windscreen and forward-tilting roof. Since the engine is rear-mounted, the wraparound rear window hinges upward to allow access. Oh, and the headlights are fully retractable -- not bad for 1963.
Meet the 1971 Lancia Straos HF Stradale, a rally "legend" that would go on to win four world titles. The vehicle you're looking at here is a two-seater Berlinetta version with a compact frame (3.6 meters long, 2.1 meter wheelbase) and a Ferrari Dino 2.4 liter 6-cylinder engine making 192 horsepower.
This is the 1964 Alfa Romeo Giulia GTC, based on Alfa's Giulia Sprint GT but modifying it to include a retractable roof. This model never made it to production but inspired one of the same name that was introduced in 1965 at the Geneva Motor Show. Alfa would end up building one thousand of them.
This was perhaps the most impressive vehicle at the exhibit, and for good reason: it's the 2012 Bertone Nuccio, designed (like this exhibition) to celebrate the design house's centennial. It's a tribute to the company's owner and intends to codify the company's sports heritage DNA in a new model. As such, it's got a 4.3-liter, 8-cylinder engine making 480 horsepower under the hood and a "monovolume architectural layout" referencing the 1968 Alfa Romeo Carabo, 1970 Lancia Stratos 0 and the 197a Lamborghini Countach, all of which were featured earlier in this slideshow.
And here's the back of the 2012 Bertone Nuccio.
What you're looking at here is another portion of the exhibit featuring the auto designers themselves, as well as examples of their work. Turin takes great pride in being Italy's car capital, and as such many auto designers have made their name here. Included in this hall were pictures, examples and audio recordings of designers Chris Bangle, Aldo Brovarone, Walter De Silva, Leonardo Fioravanti, Marcello Gandini, Fabrizio Giugiaro, Flavio Manzoni, Paolo Pininfarina, Mike Robinson, Tom Tjaarda and Andrea Zagato.
Here's Fabrizio Giugiaro's area of the hall. The son of designer Giorgetto Giugiaro, he's responsible for the design of the 2004 Lamborghini Gallardo, among others.
The exhibition wrapped up with a quick overview of Bertone's designs over the last 100 years. Here's a look at the newer side of the lineup.

The very last part of the exhibition showed Bertone's Carozza Carriage, the vehicle that set the design house in motion. It was built by Giovanni Bertone, Nuccio's woodworker father, sometime after he opened his "wheelwright" shop on Via Villarbasse in Turin, Italy. The elder Bertone was friends with Vincenzo Lancia, thus setting in motion one of the longest collaborations in the auto industry.
