I have finally gotten rid of the concrete on the North side of my house. I am planning on planting my cherries and apricots there (poor things have been in pots for several years). The place is protected between my house and the neighbor's garage. But I was wondering what I could plant up against the North side of the house which only gets minimal sun early in the morning.
I have a gooseberry, a Regent Saskatoon, a Chinese magnolia, and my Kolomikta kiwi that could go there. Would any of these work there? The above are still in pots so it would be easy to plant there. Which, if any, would tolerate this type of shade and still produce a good crop? I've been toying with the idea of blackberries also but I don't want them suckering everywhere. Due to the extreme sun and heat I have found that quite a few plants that are for partial or even full sun do best in the shade here in Colorado. I don't know if the actual fruiting would work in full shade though. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I am not very experienced but since no one else has chimed in yet, here is my two cents: I would hesitate to plant any fruit trees in full shade. I might be wrong but I would think that sunlight is essential to development of fruit buds and proper color of fruits on trees. And I know I've read other threads where experienced folks have poo-poo'ed the idea of planting trees in areas that receive less than 5-6 hours of sunlight per day. It's kind of like, "well, it might work.... but don't be surprised when it doesn't...." That kind of thing. I do think berries are a better option. I have raspberries that grow in about 50% shade and have taken off like gangbusters, and I tend to think they would do just as well in full shade as they are so vigorous. They do sucker all over the place though. I have not had as good of success with my blackberries growing in the same 50% shade. They don't grow vigorous. However they also do not sucker (at least not for me). Next year I will plant some gooseberries in the same location to see how they do in partial shade. I've heard they will grow well in partial shade. So that's why I think berries might be the way to go for you. But trees.... I'm just not very confident that that would work out well for you. I'm sure the trees would grow tall and have nice leaves, but just might never fruit very well for you in the shade. That is my guess. Not sure if that's much help, but might be a start at least to get this discussion rolling. |
I currently have a Regent and Prince William Juneberry (a.k.a. Saskatoon) on the north side of my house. According to the Edible Landscaping website (where I bought them) they are somewhat shade tolerant. I don't expect they will be as productive there though as they would be in a more sunny location. You might see what their website says about sun requirements for the other fruits you mentioned. |

I did a search in Edible Landscaping and found several plants that are "excellent" in the shade: Crandall American Black Current - Ribes odoretum Unfortunately they are out of these at this time:( |
Rolling River has Primus and Whitman farms has both currants (Crandall is under "Clove", not "Black"). If you are worried about blackberries spreading, you probably won't want Wineberries. They grow like weeds, easily tiprooting if you don't pay close attention. They are tasty, but you do need to fight the birds (which also help them spread) for them. I never planted them, but there were a number in my yard when I moved in. |

Some interesting ideas already, I'll weigh in on a couple plants already mentioned... -- Raspberry a good bet, I've picked from some very productive bushes that were growing along the north side of a building in Lakewood, CO. They did get early morning and late afternoon sun in summer and were open to the sky above. |

I was looking at white currents on Whitman's site and Lucile says about White Imperial White Currant: "About as good as it gets with white currants which isn't saying too much." With regard to Primus she says, "Productive, resistant to frost damage; late season". I think I will scratch this one from the list. The wineberry is sounding like it might go. I have a feeling that it needs more acidic soil, and Colorado and New Mexico have more alkaline. I'm thinking that I could amend this spot and it might be okay. I have to water everything no matter what, so that's not too far of a stretch. I don't have any currents or berries yet. I told myself I would have no need of berries with a mulberry tree. I pulled out the strawberries because they take up a lot of room for their production. If I could manage to get something to grow above the roof-line I could plant anything. It would get full sun once it got past 9 feet or so. It would need to be something that I could harvest all at once so I don't have get a ladder out too often. I wonder if an American persimmon or a hybrid would work. I think the fruit falls when it's ripe. It would get full sun once it's tall enough and then it would drop the fruit down. Is that stretching it too far? Maybe a pawpaw? How close to pawpaws need to be to get good pollination? I am planting two in my front yard. Would a third tree that's on the other side of the house get fertilized? |
- Posted by scottfsmith 6B-7A-MD (My Page) on Tue, Oct 16, 12 at 18:23
I would say pawpaw is the best non-berry option. You won't get all that many fruits but pawpaws are best in small doses anyway. I would plant two close together to guarantee pollination. Pawpaws are pollinated by small flies and I don't know the maximum distance for them, its not the usual bee pollinators. Gooseberries also will produce some in such a spot. Scott |

Here in Colorado, lots of fruiting plants can thrive quite well in a lot of shade. I have blueberries, pawpaw, jostaberry, raspberries and honeyberry that thrive in 90% shade. |

No one has mentioned elderberry. They are a forest fruit and do well. Hazelnuts are said to do ok too but I have never tried them. I would plant paw paw and maybe elderberry around the base (a few feet out if you have the space). This gives you vertical layers of production. |

Are you sure the area is still full shade in the summer, when the sun is higher? Is it under a roof overhang? My raspberries are very productive snug up to the north side of a single-story house. They get a fair amount of sun in midsummer -- their shade comes from the tree and tall shrub E and W of them, not the house. Thornless blackberries: I grew three varieties in part shade and found that one was extremely productive and delicious, one was extremely productive but blah-tasting (much better when moved to full sun) and one got shaded out. Unfortunately they outgrew their labels when I was ill, so you might have to repeat the experiment :(. My fig is also very productive for me in shade, and hardy to 8 degrees (at least). You could, alternately, grow some things in large containers and put them in the garage in winter. |

Ivywild142, It's true that Colorado shade can equal part sun in most other areas. NilaJones, The area I mentioned is indeed full shade; it's in a corner where a single story meets a two-story. The only sun is in the morning. fotophreek, I did think of elderberries but my soil is most likely not acidic enough. I did order a Crandall current just to try it there. I do have pawpaw trees that will need to find a permanent home. I may need to reconsider my pawpaw placement. They are still in pots so I could leave them there for a summer and see how they do. |

>I may need to reconsider my pawpaw placement. They are still in pots so I could leave them there for a summer and see how they do. Funny, I just came back to suggest this about shade tolerance in general :). I have found it extremely useful, when exploring the limits of shade tolerance for various species, to have the plant in a largish pot that I can move around. Leave it here for a few weeks, then try it over there, etc. Sometime 5 feet makes a big difference. For things that grow tall (trees) you could even try putting the pot up on top of something to see how the plant likes the light up a little higher. |
Of course, for fruiting, sometimes these experiments require multiple years. I mentioned upthread that I had one variety of thornless blackberry that was very productive in shade but tastier in sun. I found that out by digging it up in the winter and growing it in a pot, in the sun, for the following summer. Now I have made it a permanent home in the sun, 'cause I know it's worth it :). |

I know in the south blackberries and raspberries grow well in mostly shaded areas. Maybe there are some varieties for CO. |
Hi MileHigh, I grow all colors of currants and five varieties. They really need sun. Partial shade is ok, but you will never (imho) get the full flavor of a currant. They will probably be exceptionally sour. I'd say you need no less than 6 hours of sun a day and you'll be ok. Mrs. G |
- Posted by Ivywild142 6a (My Page) on Wed, Jul 24, 13 at 10:20
Pawpaws will do fine on a north exposure in Colorado. Mine get a few hours of sun at best in summer and still grow and bloom fine. Any more sun than a few hours late or early has killed plants for me. They also like wind protection and more moisture, so a north wall with some wind protection is better. They will leaf out a little later in a northerly exposure which is better to avoid freeze damage. |
Milehigh, all of my currants love full sun, and I really cannot imagine them doing well in shade at all. I do have a summer cropping group of raspberries (RED) that happen to love shade. The berries are huge and very tasty. It is my only 'fruiting' plant that seems to do well in the shade. Currants ( I have Jonkeer von Tets, Ben Serak, Ben Lomond, Champagne, and Blanca; five black currants in all) need heat and sun to ripen and sweeten up. Mrs. G |
Evergreen Huckleberry actually gets biggest in shade,but fruits better with some sun. I'm not sure of it's temperature range,but read that the plant grows in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Like Blueberries,acidic soil is needed. Brady |
- Posted by milehighgirl CO USDA 5B/Sunset 2B (My Page) on Thu, Jul 25, 13 at 10:25
I'm realizing that the sun here is so much more intense than other places. There are few things that don't do well in the shade. I decided to plant my saskatoons in the shadiest part of my yard. I did look into huckleberries but they don't seem hardy enough here. |

Chile's Claro y Cía, established in 1880, is no stranger to complex M&A. In 2010 it acted as legal counsel for LAN Airlines in its merger with Brazil's TAM that promises to be the largest airline in the region.
"This is a breakthrough deal because the merger of two international companies is something that had never been seen before in Chile," says Felipe Larraín, Claro y Cía partner who worked on the deal. "With this transaction, LAN increases its exposure to investors outside of Chile."
Synergies alone are expected to generate $400 million annually, according to regulatory information on the deal. LATAM will have combined revenues of $8.5 billion and market capitalization of about $12 billion, say the merging entities. According to Larraín, LATAM will be listed in Chile, have ADRs in New York, and also gain access to the Bovespa.
The transaction is also interesting for regulatory hurdles overcome. Larraín says that for the deal to materialize, all sides had to find a way to comply with Brazils requirement that 80% of the local companys voting shares remain in the hands...

I've moved from clay soil to a soil that is somewhat sandy but has a ton of field stone (2" to 1' in diameter is common. 2', 3', 4' and 5' boulders do show up).
I took my Paperbark Maple from my previous home and I would say the 3'x12" deep hole I dug was 30% rock. I've heard three schools of thought.
1)The field stone is not of concern. You need to select trees that prefer good drainage and aren't sensative to drought. or 2) You need to select trees with far reaching root systems so they can easily go around the rocks. Likely need to stay away from trees with fiberous roots. or 3) Stick to native trees that are growing in your area with similar exposure and degree of slope. |

You might find some here. Seriously, I wouldn't be concerned anywhere in SE Wisconsin. There's enough soil between the rocks to not be a factor. tj |
Yes, it's what's between the rocks that matters. That said, it is desirable to keep rocks out of the planting hole when first putting the tree in the ground. |
No concerns with conifers/pines...I know they can thrive in quite rocky conditions and they love drainage. Those pics definitely put it into perspective! I'm in the hills of Slinger here the glaciers left massive stones. I'll just plant away and go from there! This time I'm starting with conifers/pines! Deciduous trees/shrubs will go in later. |

I would go with a native tree called sassafras. This tree is really incredible and hardy. There is a mountain near me where topsoil is absent on most of the mounain side. This was caused by pollution. All trees except sassafras survived and today there are a whole bunch of sassafras trees growing out of crevices in rocks. The roots of the tree are very shallow and spread out horizontally.The trees leaves smell like fruit loops when crushed and the roots were once a component in the making of rootbeer. |

Do FDA rules discriminate against imports?
The Fresh Produce Association of the Americas submittted a thoughtful comment to the FDA on the issue of "Food Safety Modernization Act: Domestic and Foreign Facility Reinspections, Recall, and Importer Reinspection User Fee Rates for Fiscal Year 2012."
Here is a point made in the document that contends proposed re-inspection fees constitute a trade barrier. From the FPAA and Lance Jungmeyer:
Furthermore, the proposed "import fees" fees for removal from "Detention Without Physical Examination/DWPE" may be viewed as trade barriers because they are not fees that are also assessed on domestic products. For imported produce, when a positive sample occurs, the product is put on DWPE (product removed from market and no longer allowed to be imported) and is not removed until there is a petition and a process, including "5 clean samples." Under FSMA, FDA is proposing to charge $224/hour for the work of removal from DWPE, which will cost importers (or whatever entity requests the removal) potentially tens of thousands of dollars.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Axle, a white settlment Burmese cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Burmese for sale in white settlment, or seeking a Burmese cat from a breeder in white settlment.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in white settlment already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a white settlment breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Burmese breeders who help with Burmese rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in white settlment paves the way for another one to be saved.

Honda Civic Basic Maintenance Questions
Is it easy to get at the oil filter on '06? Any other tips or insight on changing oil?
bman64 Posts: 14The oil filter on the 2006 R18 engine couldn't be easier to get to. It's located right near the front at the bottom on the passenger side, you can literally put your hand right on it if you reach back under the front bumper. Doesn't make a mess when you remove it, oil changes are much more pleasant than I ever expected.
The Honda filters require a Honda tool ($20) to remove them. It's like a large shallow socket that fits over the end of the filter, and ever so slightly different (smaller inside diameter) than the 'common' ones you can buy at the parts store.
The ones available at parts stores won't grip a Honda filter :mad: , so I removed my original Honda filter with a large pair of channel-lock pliers. I replaced it with a NAPA Gold (same as WIX) filter, the 'common' filter wrench ($4) removes it.
Here's a link to a site that will answer all your oil change questions and more, do search on 'Honda' in the various forums when you get there to narrow things down:Bob Is The Oil Guy -
kero1 Posts: 154I just did my first oil change this weekend and believe it or, the black plastic filter remover cap for my wife's 05 corolla actually removed the filter on my LX sedan.
You just have to push hard and then turn and it has enough bite to remove it. It worked fine.
The black plastic fitler remover I used was from walmart and works on a 05 corolla LE filter. -

mhobby1 Posts: 3I just got my 06 civic lx sedan and didn't notice until after I got it home the wiper blade/arm. Pretty unusual. It doesn't have the metal arm 'skeleton' that all other wipers I've had on previous cars and seen at autozone,etc. for replacements. They look expensive to replace. Other than the dealer, has anyone found a source online for these hopefully less expensive than local dealer? From some sites I've looked at you can get replacements that look like the same old wiper arm but I would prefer the oem type blade if possible.
perezr Posts: 7I haven't seen the replacements offered anyhwere else yet, but if you look in your owner's manual, it is only the actual wiping edge piece that you replace, not the whole supporting structure.
The end cap comes off and you slide out the old blade (wiping edge) and then slide the new one in, so it shouldn't be too expensive. -
bspl Posts: 1I own a 2001 Honda Civic Lx. I've been hearing a thumping/clunking sound under my car whenever I make a left turn. I hear and feel the sound somewhere around where the brakes and accelerator are located- somewhere on the left side.
I just had a mechanic take a look at that area and he found nothing wrong, even though he also heard the noise. He suggested that I take the car to a Honda dealer and have them check it out. Any suggestions? -
debbie0601 Posts: 2I have a 2002 Honda Civic and read that the timing belt needs to be replaced at 60,000 miles. I read that manuals for Honda Civics older than 2002 recommend changing the timing belt at 110,000 miles. 1) Why the change? 2) What could a layperson look for to assess if a timing belt needs to be changed, as it's recommended that the timing belt be inspected as part of periodic maintainence? Thanks.
dewaltdakota Posts: 364As the technology has improved, the timing belts have been made out of more durable materials, extending the time between changes. For the 2002 Civic, the timing belt should normally be replaced at 110k miles. However, if you regularly drive your car in temperatures over 110°F, or under 20°F, you should replace it at 60k miles, because the extremes break down the belt materials more quickly.
When inspecting the timing belt, you're not going to be able to really see when it's "ready to go", because the most structurally important parts of the belt are hidden within it. You do want to look for cracks, peeling, flaking, hardening, oil contamination, or uneven wear.
Regardless of the number of miles you put on the car, if you haven't replaced the timing belt by your car's 8th birthday, you're running on borrowed time. It's also a good idea to replace your water pump at the same time.
Most shops, dealership-based or otherwise, will still "encourage" you to change your timing belt at 60k mile intervals, because ... well ... because they make a lot of money on it. -
debbie0601 Posts: 2Thanks so much for a clear, detailed message that makes sense. My car is 4 years old but I have 94,000 miles on it. I asked a (new to me)mechanic about it and he said exactly what you said a mechanic would say, that I should change the timing belt and do the water pump too, and the recommended interval is 60,000 miles. Thanks again.
worrywart Posts: 8I was at Honda yesterday and the tech was actually complaining about how impossible it was to get at the oil filter on the Civic Si.. so i walked under that Si on the lift to look (cuz i own one now as of this week) holy s***, the filter is like in the middle of HELL. i couldn't put my hand on it or reach it from any angle
Does it require a special tool to reach and unscrew it? -
bishopk99 Posts: 11Pat and Karens,
I just spent over 780.00 on trying to get my check engine light to go out on my subj Civic. The final answer is "you have a bad computer" and to replace will cost 980.00. Well, if they ran diagnostics on it in the first place to correct a temperature Hi/Lo sensor and a transmission part (which makes the car run excellent now) how can that be. I found one on e-bay with 40K miles on it, but the numbers do not match up.
I own a car made in Japan, with a JHMED VIN...
it ststates on the computer:
with a manufacture date of 87-12-24
the computer for auction says...
will it be compatable? Cost for the computer is less than 100.00. Is this something I can just swap out myself?
I bought this car new in 1988, it has over 178,000 miles, it drove me to 5 ships and 5 shore stations and will be featured in my retirement ceremony after I get to 25 yrs in the Navy. Everyone hates it but I loove it. It is my baby blue car!
Happy thanksgiving!

jmorrisonsells Posts: 4Last weekend I had 4 new tires put onto my car. I traveled over 500 miles and on the way home started to hear a "squeak" coming from the front end of the car. It only seems to happen when going over 50MPH. I instantly think it is the timing belt as the car is a 2000 Honda Civic with 88K on it. Is it possibly just struts or springs or could it be a timing belt?

targettuning Posts: 1,371Timing belts are recommended for change at between about 60K miles and 100K miles depending on manufacturer. Offhand I do not know the time frame for Honda (check owners manual) but the timing belt change is MUCH more expensive ($450.00 for parts and labor +/- a couple of $$$) verses about $40.00-70.00 for the serpentine belt. All prices are educated guesses and vary depending on dealer labor rates..geographic location...greed....etc. The actual parts price is more absolute (neither belt is really expensive) but check the parts dept at the dealer you use. In the case of the timing belt I paid about $30-40 for the part, the rest is labor because a certain amount of engine disassembly is necessary..time is money!! This was on a Hyundai Elantra but a Civic is very similar
jmorrisonsells Posts: 4:shades: Yeah I had the serpentine belt replaced on my 99 saturn and the belt was like 70 and the replacement was courtesy of a freind....
I have had a civic before 1990 hatchback (still going strong with 200K)and it has had only the timing belt replaced (400 or so) and the radiator.
Love Hondas...they are reliable. -
hondaciviclx06 Posts: 1Greetings, I purchased a 2006 civic lx back in Sept and knock on wood no problems to date. I changed the oil to of course Synthetic at 8800 kms. I also changed the manual tranny fluid to Synthetic.
My question, since this is my first Honda Car, does it have a timing belt or timing chain? The manual does not state either. -
kenlw Posts: 190depending on how old the fluid is, you might also consider replacing the thermostat.
No, it isn't hard, but it can take a bit of time and can be messy. Disposing of the old fluid is also a consideration, some kinds of older fluids is poisonous to animals and is considered hazardous waste (newer fluids are much safer).
A typical "drain and refill" is just draining as much as you can via the petcock at the bottom of radiator, or by disconnecting the big hose at the bottom of the radiator. When it is thru draining, you refill thru the radiator cap until full, then fill the overflow bottle to help remove air bubbles after that.
This assumes you are using a fluid compatible with what is already in there (all aren't) since this method doesn't really "flush" all the old stuff out. But unless your fluid is really old and bad, a drain and refill is usually sufficient.
For a week or so keep and eye on the level in the overflow bottle, adding some new fluid as air is worked out of the system. -
wsustudent Posts: 35Also take this into consideration for the flush/refill. If you have it done by an indpendent shop, dealer, or do it yourself, keep this in mind. This generation of Civic has a small design flaw in the system in that most of the heater core sits above the radiator cap. When the system is being filled and finally being purged of air, there will be residual air that will not purge out of the system and will be trapped in the heater core unless you get that heater core below that radiator cap. This can be simply done by jacking up the front right wheel. Most dealers should know about this since it was a TSB, but independent shops may not know about this and when they go to refill your system, they may not purge the system of all the air due to the design flaw so if you take it to someone else, you will want to mention this to them.
raykramar Posts: 8I have a 2001 Civic w/ 125k mi. Recently it began leaking antifreeze out of the top of the reserve tank. The car then of course overheats when it is not moving. I have checked the radiator and found no leaks. The cooling fan does not seem to come on, however the AC one does. Is this a fan issue, thermostat, or maybe something else?


text: i can personally vouch for some of those choices: the princess breakfast in Norway is absolutely delicious they bring u big plates of sausages, french toast, bacon, and eggs. Donald's safari breakfast in a buffet and it is also very good having everything from pancakes, to donuts, and fruit and eggs and bacon. Tutto Italia is also delicious with great pastas and excellent chickem parm. i don't recommend raniforest cafe as its over priced for the quality of the meal

Where Do Kids Eat When School is out in Summer? FNS Partners with the Department of Education to Find Solutions
As we approach the summer season, USDA is vigorously preparing to fill the nutrition gap faced by millions of kids across the country. While 21 million of our sons and daughters receive free and reduced-priced lunches during the school year, only a small percentage participate in the summer meals programs, leaving too many of our most vulnerable without a nutritious meal.
A new partnership between the USDA and the Department of Education seeks to transform these alarming rates of food insecurity for the better. Last week I had the pleasure of convening with Dr. Jonathan Brice, Deputy Assistant Secretary in the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education in the Department of Education. This meeting was the first of the current administration, solidifying the strong partnership in summer meals and placing an emphasis on school participation.
Dr. Brice explained that "the Department of Education believes that summer meals are critical to the success of millions of children across the country." As a former administrator and teacher in public schools throughout Delaware and Maryland, Brice conveyed the effectiveness of the summer meals program for summer school students, athletically involved youth, and kids of all backgrounds. He emphasized that the Department of Education viewed summer meals as "a critical opportunity for communities to come together and show children how much they matter." I couldn't agree more with his sentiments.
Our partnership is groundbreaking on many levels. To alleviate the burden of hunger in the summer, we need the support of principals, educators, food service professionals, and community members to promote a program that focuses on the nutritional wellbeing of kids in our communities. With program participation growing in schools nationwide, and now the official backing of the Department of Education, the future of increasing summer meals participants and decreasing food security in America looks more promising than ever.
Echoing the sentiments of Dr. Brice, our children need to be well-fed and provided with nutritious meals in order to become successful adults. The more we learn to cultivate unique and effective partnerships, the more effective we will be at ending child hunger in this country. Collaborating with the Department of Education is a step in the right direction to ensure more children have access to healthy foods when school is out.

I would like to praise the USDA for it's purchase of 60 million servings of our ocean pasture fed Alaska salmon from last falls largest catch ever salmon in state history. This news portends a world with an abundance of fish. Read how the fish came back to Alaska in historic abundance and how that same fish miracle can be made to happen around the world through the replenishment and restoration of ocean pastures. Here's a link to a story that explains how. http://russgeorge.net/2014/04/11/bring-back-fish-everywhere/
I wish this program had been started when I was a kid. My parents never thought about feeding me lunch during the summer.
Kids normally eat lunch at home at such times when school is not in session like holidays, weekends and winter, spring and summer recesses. Some kids even bring their own lunches to eat at school.
Who is responsible for these children? The parents! It seems that the government is becoming more and more the guardians of our children.
What is needed is an education of the parents, how to provide lunch for their children, how to ensure caregivers are providing adequate nutrition to their children while they are away.
There is no need to take this responsibility out of the hands of the parents, but to educate them instead. -
i think kids must eat healthy food, and government must provide it
Since when did parents become incapable of feeding their children and needing to be taught how to?

UVM makes list of 'Top 20 party schools in the US'August 05,2013By RYAN J. FOLEY
The Associated Press
IOWA CITY, Iowa — College students consider the University of Iowa the nation's best party school, even though Iowa City has tried to make its famous bar scene less hospitable to underage drinkers.
The Princeton Review bestowed Iowa with the top ranking Monday on a list determined by 126,000 students in a nationwide survey. Rounding out the Top 5 are: University of California, Santa Barbara; the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; West Virginia University and Syracuse University.
The organization also released its "stone-cold sober schools" list — led again this year by Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah; and followed by Wheaton College in Wheaton, Ill.
The rankings are based on surveys in which an average of 333 students per campus are asked 80 questions about a range of subjects in the last three school years. Its methodology uses a five-point scale, allowing for school-to-school comparisons.

Post subject: Economic Models for Webcomics
Hi Lady Yates,
I'm sorry Wowio and Buzz hasn't worked for you. As a fellow artist, I can understand your frustration at trying to find a way to make what you love to do profitable. So, I'm starting a chain for the members to try to brainstorm ways to help you make money.
So, I've heard a hot trend is virtual trophies and gifts. Basically, you can set up a shopping site, where people can buy virtual trophies or gifts to give to other members. Then members can have their own page, like a myspace page, showcasing the trophies or gifts they have received or sent, making it competitive. You can tier the price of the trophy/gift, so that the more expensive the trophy/gift given or received, then the more esteem that member holds or gives to another member.
You can also choose to use the forum as a way to spread exposure of the comic, and reward members with trophies for number of referrals, quality posts to the forum, number of votes, etc.
What else can we do to help Lady Yates?

Hmm. Virtual trophies strike me as extremely easy to copy. There are, of course, technological measures that one could take to make copying harder (digital rights management). However, DRM is technically complex, and usually self-defeating. It doesn't stop determined bad guys, and it tends to get in the way of honest people trying to do permissible things, which annoys them, and makes them less likely to buy future things.
Basically, any revenue stream which depends entirely on people NOT copying digital objects is doomed in the long run.
As I see it, there are only a few basic ways of making money from a web comic:
1) Advertising.
2) Merchandising.
3) Subscriptions.
4) Donations via paypal or similar.
There may be other ways, but those are the most tried-and-true at this point.
In terms of merchandising, both Scott Sava (of
The Dreamland Chronicles
) and Sarah Ellerton (of
Phoenix Requiem
) have been experimenting with selling resin figurines of the characters from their comics. Scott's got Nastajia and Kiwi available, and Sarah's in the early stages of producing a Jonas figure. I would be interested to hear whether that proves profitable.
The only other thing I can think of is the highly unusual approach that Thunt took with
, which involved setting donation goals in exchange for influencing the outcome of the comic. Basically, he set up scenarios in which a character was faced with various forms of danger, and added donation goals to the mix. If the fans ponied up the specified amount of money by a particular date, then the character survives and moves on to the next challenge. If they don't, well ... so much for that character, eh?
The approach is extremely interesting, because it offers the fans a way to participate directly in the unfolding of the story, and it works well with the Internet environment, which excels at letting many many people make small donations, which add up. As long as you set reasonable donation goals and don't exhaust your audience too much, you could do that for a long time. The same technique could be expanded to include non-life-or-death choices. Maybe you have a love triangle going and after playing it up for a while, you offer your audience the option to decide how it comes out. Whom does our heroine choose? The dashing hero, the humble friend? Then you put up two separate donation buttons, and at the end of the week the story proceeds with the heroine choosing whomever has the higher total. Kind of like rolling dice in an RPG, only with money.
Of course, Thunt's comic lends itself to that kind of thing since it is in fact designed to function like an RPG. Also, note that he created a whole new character with a completely separate existence from the main comic to do it (see the
Tempts Fate
archive). It would be really hard to do something like that with a main comic, and in fact might blow up in your face if you're not careful.
I don't think Lady Yates is very likely to take anything like the Tempts Fate approach, though. It requires giving up a good deal of artistic control, and she prefers not to do that.

What about the CafePress store? My understanding is that larger comics like Megatokyo and Penny Arcade make a lot of their money from products. I would be interested in the store coming back, with new prints/posters/shirts added monthly or so. I think that would help keep it fresh.

It wouldn't help with attracting new readers but some webcomickers, like Brion Foulke for example, update an extra page with every 100 dollars donated. I don't know if Lady Yates would have the free time for this but it'd be good encouragment for donations, especially because it's something continuous. The donation wallpaper is a good idea but most people will only donate once until the wallpaper is changed.
/Edit: And as for merchandise, if it is possible, then I'd love to see some Earthsong figures, but I don't generally buy anything from CafePress, their products are usually low quality and not particularly interesting.

Thunt's apprach is a good one, although not without its problems (chief among them, perhaps, simple time concerns). He made a reasonable amount selling t-shirts, too (which, essentially, was what one of the TF adventures was a tester for) and could have made a lot more if he'd farme dout the packing and mailing work instead of doing it all himself.
Merch is a good way to make money in general.

I wonder, how much would people here pay for figurines of ES characters? I have no real idea what the breakeven cost would be for figurines, but I know I
them. Esp. if they all formed together, like the Haven's Guard figurine bases were shaped in such a way to form a horizontal line showcasing all the figures?
Man, I'd totally blow a paycheck or two on that... O_o (Not that my paychecks are significant anymore, mind you. That's like $300-$400)

@ Tenshi:
The ones at the Dreamland Chronicles are
$24.95 each,
Looking For Group sells them for
Sarah Ellerton's
poll is still going but most people seem willing to pay between 20-30 dollars.
So I guess the general price is between 25 and 30 dollars, I know I'd be willing to pay about $30.

I've always thought it would be great to have the figurines, but I don't think I quite have the fanbase to support it (ie sell enough so that I could charge a resonable price for them). I'll keep in touch with Sarah and see how it goes for her, but she DOES have about double my readership, so I'll have to keep that in mind as well.
Cafepress? Meh, I was going to bring it back this Christmas, but it is a TON of work for little to no pay off. I'm still undecided.
I've actually considered mimicking Thunt's approach to fundraising. I thought about doing mini-adventures with Felucca, or even creating another character from one of the other Guard branches. The problem is time though. I'd rather be working on the comic itself if I get a little time away from my wee man. I'm still thinking about it though... it works VERY well for Thunt.
I think I'm going to pass on the trophy thing though - I'm not sure I understand why anyone would want to participate in that kind of venture. But thank you for the suggestion! And for starting this thread Tess, it was very sweet of you

I'd go for creating another character if I were you. And you may wish to run the idea of doing a TF-style running fundraiser by him first - it's certainly not a requirement, but it might be polite, since I've not seen anyone else run one in a similar way.
What about t-shirts? I'm not a massive merch purchaser (wouldn't get a figurine due to lack of space, for instance) but i do like my tees.

Drowtales has an entire "members only" section where you pay a monthly fee for the right to view and vote on a handful of offshoot stories. Granted though, they've got something like six artists to do all that work, and an enormous fanbase to support it.
A large number of other comics I read do the extra page incentive, where they will draw a certain number of pages for a given period of time based on how much people donate. It seems to work fairly well in each case.
And I know that I for one would buy a figurine of Earthsong herself in a heartbeat, as well as any suitably cute swag you might come up with

I like the Drowtales one because it's actual comics that you're paying to view, rather than some I've seen where it's just wallpapers and other promotional-type goodies. I also like that theirs has a couple levels of involvement, where you can pay just the minimum to view the comics only, or a little more for the ability to make suggestions for where the plot goes, and vote on which suggestions actually happen.
I understand a lot of people dislike the members only stuff, but it seems to be working for the comics whose artists can put in the time to make it worthwhile

While the startup genome in Silicon Valley is always mutating, some formulas are becoming basic tenets in the science of startups. A critical mass of email about my use of the word "iterative" in my blogs prompts me to revisit one such startup fundamental—the so called "Lean Startup" formula.
Chances are if you are an entrepreneur you already have a fair amount of self-confidence—assessing risk and measuring opportunity. So it's no surprise that most entrepreneurs rated themselves highly on many of the 17 personal characteristics, traits and skills that bode well for taking an entrepreneurial plunge.
Following the Independence Day holiday, members of Congress have a full slate of hearings in the week ahead. Included is a look from the House Committee on Oversight & Government Reform at the impact on entrepreneurs of the Supreme Court decision validating the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Other hearings cover topics including: commercializing NASA technologies; mobile payments; renewable energy; regulatory reform and more.

"What's the difference between a blog and a regular old column?" my wife, Julee, asked somewhat skeptically the other day when I told her I would be blogging for our website. I was tempted to joke that blogs don't require good spelling or grammar but I didn't want her to get the wrong idea.
"Blog is short for web log and it has a more spontaneous feel to it, a kind of raw compositional quality," I explained.
Really? I asked myself. That explanation sounded pretty lame even to me.
"Oh, you mean like improv," Julee said.
Now that's something my wife understands. Julee is a singer and musician who's worked occasionally in improvisational jazz, most notably with Bobby McFerrin. She was right. Blogs should be a little like improvisational music, composed as they go and loosely thematic. For example, right now I am thinking about Julee's voice, how, when I first heard it, I couldn't imagine something that pure and beautiful ever coming out of me. I wanted to get closer to someone who had something wonderful that I could only dream of.
Sometimes you read a story for the same reason: to get close to something beautiful, where a dream becomes a truth, even a spiritual truth. GUIDEPOSTS has always been about people and their stories. In fact, we were doing user-generated content 60 years ago, decades before the Internet was even a glint in Al Gore's eye.
Stories are everywhere. Every day of every person's life on this planet is a story. It is a profoundly human thing, our spiritual DNA.
So, welcome to my blog and, if you are a first time visitor to the site, welcome to GUIDEPOSTS, where your stories rule.

Follow-Up Postings:
Which of your inspiration configurations do you prefer? Are you a centered/symmetrical person or do you like asymmetry with the open shelf off to the side? Which might work better for you as you're working? I thought we had the same size grain bins, but mine are only 19" high, and you have me very curious about your mill, because it sounds monstrous! ;-) How much room do you need for cookbooks? Do you want them in an open shelf? I think frosted glass vs solid doors is a matter of your preference. Either will hide messiness. You may also be able to consider textured/obscured glass... Not as solid looking as frosted, but some of them you can just see colors through, not organization... or lack thereof. Is the cut off corner necessary? Would it maybe be better to shorten the whole unit 6" or so if it's crowding a doorway? I need to know more before I can do so, but in your shoes, I would begin with graph paper, deciding the value of each square (1" or 2"), then remembering to draw shelves the depth they are, not just lines, I'd work on different configuration options. 6 feet is a nice size, but you are also wanting to fit a lot in. It'll be worth it to take the time to work out designs until you get the best you can. |
Hmmmm... Symmetry makes me very happy. We're split almost down the center on righty's vs. leftys so it might make sense to have the open area in the middle of the run of top cabs. Either that or off to the left, since this would put these items closer to the stove and other work zones. The only thing monstrous about my grain mill is the noise it makes! That's why it's been banished to the dark blue bin where it lives and runs (you can see it in the lower center of my bottom picture.) I've found that running it inside the bin quiets it to a dull roar. It's a Blendtec, FYI. I don't LOVE it, but it's speedy and reliable. And messy, another benefit of the bin, since it contains the dust. My deepest cookbook is 10.25" I only need one 12" deep x 24" wide x 30ish tall cookbook cabinet. That's why I was thinking of turning the cabinet so that the books are accessed from the side. Open shelves are fine for them. "Is the cut off corner necessary? Would it maybe be better to shorten the whole unit 6" or so if it's crowding a doorway? " I don't know... I'm thinking for all that I'm trying to fit in, I should probably keep it close to 6' long at the back. But it is in a busy spot by a couple of doorways, so that's why I drew it clipped. |
Not sure if you gain much if it's clipped, since you lose usable counter and storage underneath. It won't do much for you in your desire for symmetry. And a little spaciousness around the doorway might feel much better. Trade-offs. But these are my opinions, and you have to consider the gains and losses and which mean more to you. It looks like you've clipped into about the first foot of the cabinet, is that close to what you intend? What do you see happening under that clipped counter? Will the rightmost bin hang out of it, or will you keep the bins confined to the area where there is full counter over? Oh, I missed that you wanted the cookbooks accessed from the left side. |
I just fiddled around with the pieces (glad they have wheels.) I could cut the whole area down to 5' long by getting rid of one bin. That would leave room for a small helper's stool at the right end of the run pushed against the wall, out of the walkway. So 5' is fine on the bottom. I just hope that 5' of uppers is enough. Of course, then I'd have to get over the symmetry thing-gasp: The cupboards wouldn't be centered on the wall! :O |
Was trying to draw up ideas... Are those glass jars really only 4.5" at the widest part? They look larger sitting on the table, so I wanted to double check. |
Yup, they're just a squeak under 4.5". I think they look so big b/c of the camera angle. I think the whole base unit will have to be a little longer than 5' to accommodate the 3 bins, 12" wide bookshelves, + the cupboard with roll-out tray to hold the monster grain bin. (33" + 12" + 18"? = 63") I forgot to account for the size of the cupboard to hold the roll-out tray when I posted earlier. |
Is there a reason it couldn't go in a deep-front drawer? Like a pullout with an attached face so you don't have a separate door to open. Sorry for the scratchy drawing... And this was mostly drawn before you changed the length from 5' to 5' 3", but I think it could still work. Is it anything like you had in mind? It's not anything fancy. But the right color and details and it could be make into something like your inspiration pics, I think. |
Thank you, Rhome. That's a lot like what my murky brain was trying to come up with. : ) I don't need it to be fancy, but I did want it to have some character, which your sketch has (and I don't mind it being "scratchy" one bit.) I always pictured doing the little jars on a shallow shelf under a standard 30" high cabinet, but I think I like the way you drew it even better. It breaks up that expanse in a nice way. And it might make it easier for access to the mixers under there, too. I also like the idea of the drawers rather than trays. Thanks again! This is very helpful. |

I am working on final plans for an area of my counter where I thought I'd be be doing grinding and baking and I decided the one thing I didn't want above that was glass in the cupboard doors (or open shelves). I don't know about you but fugitive flour dust is always greatest near the grinding and measuring area. On solid panels the dust will be somewhat invisible, but on glass it will show much more. I am even questioning whether I want my glass jar/canisters above the area for that same reason - even though it's where they are now (and it's why I know about the flour-dust issue) and it's very convenient to have them there. This morning I am just on the point of separating the grinding area from the mixing area as I believe the grinding is the greatest generator of flour-dust. I am thinking of locating the grinding in a place (the food preservation processing location) where I have deliberately planned for easy to clean off surfaces. I am weighing the convenience of having all the messies in one place over the intuitive logic of having a vertical integration of all baking stuff together. For me this is one of those times where one aspect of likes with likes (all baking ops. together) may be trumped by the greater good of all messy operations together. I don't store my intermediate back-stock of grain in the kitchen, though, because it is too warm. (My longer-tem stock is in a really cool/cold storage room.) But even the day-to-day (about 2 weeks supply) is stored in a vented pantry away from the range and other sources of heat. So since I have to carry a small bucket of grain to the grinder anyway, what's the difference if I take it to a place away from the main baking area? As I see it, just the few extra steps (15')to take the just-milled flour over to the baking area for use, or short-term storage. Weighing that against avoiding more dust on the baking area's shelves and cupboards ... I'm still undecided. L. |
I never thought of it, til you mentioned it Liriodendron, but my cabinets above my mixing/baking counter are dustier/flourier than those in the area where I grind my grains, even though we don't even do all our mixing there (bread is mixed on the island). I really, really wish I'd planned a grain-milling spot. Right now I haul my mill and grains out of the pantry and out beside the stove, then mill on the counter there. Then move the flour to the island for bread (most often), or to the KA mixer at the baking counter. It doesn't help that the cabinets in my baking area are darker, so show more, but I just went and looked, and can't really find any visible amount of flour dust over where I mill, but there always seems to be a flour coating in the baking center. I think my mill contains most of the flour, while the kids and the open mixer let it fly. ;-) For awhile I milled right in my pantry, a couple shelves above my grain bins, but it got too full so that I don't have any more clear shelf space to set things up right. |
If I had a do-over, I think maybe I would have planned an enclosed spot to contain the noisies. I mentioned this on a post of someone who wanted a front kitchen and a back kitchen. I agree that dusties can be a problem, too. I'm really looking forward to my dark blue lidded bins going undercover for this reason. They show every speck from grinding and working nearby. I'll have to remember this when it comes time to paint the cupboards, to stick with a lighter color. Thanks Lirio, for mentioning the glass problem, too. Last week I tried to move the grains and the grinder to the basement as an experiment. I thought I'd try to control the mess and noise by grinding down there and free up more space in the kitchen. The experiment failed. I didn't like going down the stairs, grinding the grain, coming upstairs, using the flour, going back down the stairs, grinding a little more grain b/c I didn't have quite enough flour, coming back upstairs, using the flour, going downstairs to return the flour container, coming back upstairs, all while trying to help out my children and DH with their respective projects. : ) I got a workout, at least. : / I have a friend who runs her grinder on her back deck. But that wouldn't help the dust issue of loading the mixer and letting 'er fly! I'm definitely guilty in that regard, and sometimes it's not even my fault. The lid on my mixer secretly desires to be a UFO, and goes flying as soon as I walk away from it (or so it seems.) It's another Blendtec beauty. |
Lirio, I don't know what kind of grinder you have, but putting mine in a plastic tote and lidding it while I run the grinder cuts down some of the dust (and noise). It gets a little warm in there, but it hasn't killed the machine. Yet. |

When Did Rc Cola Start?
Which one was the first: Pepsi or Coca Cola?
Which world brand of these two - Pepsi and Coca Cola - was produced first? Explain and detail your answer.
Coca Cola was being developed by John Stith Pemberton in 1885, The Coca Cola Company was being founded in 1892 and three years later they started selling Coca Cola in a bottle.
Pepsi Cola was being developed by Caleb Bradham in the early 1890, and it was being trademarked in 1903.
Why was coca cola invented and how did coca cola impact amercan history?
why was coca cola invented?( the need that society had for it) how did coca cola impact american history?(how coca cola change life for americans). please help
Read about it!
What year was Coca-Cola invented?
Coca-Cola was invented in May 1886 by Dr. John S. Pemberton in Atlanta, Georgia. The name "Coca-Cola" was suggested by Dr. Pemberton's bookkeeper, Frank Robinson. He penned the name Coca-Cola in the flowing script that is famous today. Coca-Cola was first sold at a soda fountain in Jacob's Pharmacy in Atlanta by Willis Venable.
During the first year, sales of Coca-Cola averaged nine drinks a day, adding up to total sales for that year of $50. Since the year's expenses were just over $70, Dr. Pemberton took a loss.
When does the Six Flags deal with a Coca Cola can start?
buy one ticket get one free with a Coca Cola can.
uhmm it started already
Who Invented Coca Cola and Why?
Can you still buy it today?
Coca~Cola was invented buy a pharmacist named John Pemberton in 1886 (in Georgia). It's called Coca~Cola because two of the ingredients were Coca leaf and Kola nut. Frank Robinson, the owner of the store where Coca~Cola was first put on the market, put it up for sale as Coca~Cola, as he thought the alliteration sounded good and the two C's looked appealing to potential consumers. The lettering that he put it in is now world-famous and has never been changed.
Yes, Coca~Cola is still sold in many stores around the world in almost every country (if not all). You should find it at your local grocery store.

Hi, I am trying my first attempt with moon flower seeds. I have read some other threads. If I soak them, when do you plant them? How long should I soak? also, since it is almost july and I live in zone 6, should I put them in a pot to bring in later? My other questions, do you plant in part sun? Which sun - morning or evening, all day? After the season is over, if planted in the ground, will they come back. Any help to my beginning would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. |

I find that you must soak them untill they start to swell.... this could be up to a week..... any that float to the top are bad..... dark ones are bad as well...... :) |
thanks so much for the tips, I am anxious to see these flowers start growing!!! |
I'm wondering if you have enough time in your growing season to get blooms. Anyone have any thoughts on that? They'll germinate quickly, but maybe won't flower. Maybe. If you have a bunch of seeds, you might want to set some aside for next season just in case. Moonflower vine is an annual - treat them like morning glories b/c that's what they essentially are. Mine are in part sun - they are climbing a large willow teepee trellis. I would soak them at least 48 hours and perhaps nick them with a nail clipper if you wish. I've been told by morning glory people that it's best not to fertilize - otherwise you get plenty of green and very few blooms. |
