Grigson Explaining His Perspective On The Oline

Sick Christmas cactus! Help please?
I am wondering if any of you would be able to help me. Please!
I could really use some advice on my sick plant.
I have a Christmas cactus which has been passed down for generations. Two years ago, I received mine from my wonderful aunt who passed away. In addition to raising my child, my live's work is to keep this cactus alive!
The problem is this;
My cactus has grown and thrived for two years in my kitchen window. From the minute I brought it home it has been happy. The leaves have been full, and year round I see bright green new baby leaves, growning at the bottom of the older leaves.
I know this seems weird, but I water it only once a week, and at the end of that week, if the soil isn't totally dry at the top, I let it go another week w/ out water.
Up to this point, no problems!
The plant is in a hanging planter about 15" in diameter. It is in a window which gets indirect sunlight all day. (Our neighbors' house blocks any direct sun.)
The plant is large, I"m guessing it weighs abut 50lbs.
In the past three weeks however, I have noticed that the leaves at the end of the plant, and now, whole branches, are starting to get thin (no water in them?) and drop off. They are no longer plump and filled w/ water.
Some of the dying leaves are those which face the window, some are those which do not face the window.
In the past week, I gave it more water, but it hasn't seemed to do any good (the leaves are still thin and shrively).
Please, please can you offer some suggestions? I really can't let this plant die!
Perhaps you might also have some suggestions of anyone else I could also try.
I would love a house call from someone -- but I am in Masachusetts.
Thank you for any help you can offer!
My same-day follow-up posting:
Actually, a big branch just came off my cactus (sob, sob).
I looked closely at the end that broke off (the opposite end from the tip of the cactus). Under a thin layer of dried leaf/stalk (?) right at the place it broke off -- there is something that looks like white mold climbing up the broken branch (only about 1/2") I'm not positive it's mold, but it set my allergies off big-time so I'm guessing that's what it is. It looks a little like the cocoon a moth makes (very thin and silky). It isn't a cocoon, but that's what it looks like.
The bottom of the branch (which broke off) is a little damp. Not soaked, but a little wet.
You may have mealy bug, from being overwatered (you may not be watering all that often, though weekly for a cactus in winter is tooo often, but the soil may also be slooow draining, i.e. peaty potting soil rather than coarse compost of more grit than soil, as well as the plant may be very rootbound, which makes it want lots of water when there's no soil to hold it and the roots begin 'drowning' if they're cactus. You need to find out if it needs a new pot and soil (and maybe a good trim of old woody roots), plus use a mild fungicide to get rid of the fungus.
Thanks, Lucy.
Any specific ideas for a fungicide? (I'm new to all this.)
Which soil do you recommend if I need to repot? (Peaty or coarse? Any specifics?)
Would it be better to try the fungicide first, see how it goes, and then repot? Or, do it all at once?
Yes, the plant has been in it's current pot for ages and ages, so I susect it is very rootbound, though I heard this Christmas cactus like this. So, I'm not sure how to know if I NEED to repot.
It's freezing here in New England so I'm hesitant to take the plant outside/to a plant store.
Hi heidinoel, here is my contribution to your lovely plant. Its a little long but itÂs already been written and I just copied and pasted (too lazy to editÂsorryÂ:) I have followed this routine for ages with any Christmas cactus IÂve had and it works well for me. I hope some of the information below will be useful to you as well...
Cultural mistakes are made with this plant starting with its misleading name. When we think of Âcactus we think of a plant that grows in hot, sandy deserts and is well-adapted to little precipitation in extremely arid environments because of its ability to conserve water in stems, leaves or roots. But the Christmas cactus is a native of humid jungles  a far cry from the Sahara-style wastelands  and would derive more pleasure from the droplets of a shower than the scorching rays of the sun.
Since its natural home is a forest, the Christmas cactus has different growing needs than its relatives in the desert. Unlike the sand-lovers, this jungle dweller will require the same watering methods you practice on all other tropical plants you have in your home. This cactus is not quite as drought-tolerant as its desert kin, and although as a succulent it can store a reasonable quantity of water, it will nonetheless go limp if itÂs excessively moisture-deprived. Keep the soil evenly moist at all times during the growing period and water thoroughly when the top half of the soil feels dry to the touch. Needless to say that the Christmas cactus, which is more of a tropical, requires the same humidity levels (50 Â 60 percent) as all the other moisture-loving plants in your home to be comfortable.
The length of time between watering depends on your homeÂs environment  temperature, light, humidity, etc. DonÂt water on a rigid schedule. It is especially important to water carefully while the plant is developing its flower buds. Over-watering can cause the buds to drop off the plant just as they are getting ready to bloom  an incredibly frustrating experience! Likewise, chronic lack of water can also cause buds and flowers in full bloom to drop prematurely. When you water, donÂt just give your plant little sips; drench it thoroughly to make sure that the entire root system is covered. Water enough to soak the soil (until you see water emerging from the potÂs drainage holes). By watering heavily, you are also leaching excess salts that accumulate in the soil and discouraging any dry air pockets from developing. Giving plants measly sips of water can cause large dry pockets in the soil, which can keep the root system from getting a drink at all. Water well, when itÂs time to water. Make sure to dump the excess from the potÂs saucer below. Never leave your plantÂs pot sitting in water. Allow your plant to dry out appropriately before soaking it again the next time.
A well-draining soil is a must for a Christmas cactus, which is very susceptible to rot. Mix your own formula or purchase one specific to succulent plants if you prefer to use commercially-packaged soil. If your plant dries out or wilts frequently, itÂs probably time to repot into a larger container, although this chore should be limited to the spring season after the flower exhibit is over and the cactus has had its essential rest period. You may choose to also prune your plant when you repot, which will encourage your cactus to branch out. You can remove segments from each stem by pinching them off with your fingers or by using a sharp knife. The sections that you remove can be rooted to produce new plants!
After the flowers have faded, allow the plant to have a much-needed rest by minimizing water for about 6 weeks. During this rest period, place your plant  if possible  in a cooler area and donÂt fret if it loses a few leaves or appears weak. Plants expend a lot of energy in flower development and earn the right to look a little worn-out when the glitzy exhibit is over. After a few weeks of rest, new growth will appear and you can resume regular watering. During the spring and summer seasons keep the soil evenly moist (I know itÂs a juggling act) and treat your plant like a regular houseplant. When the fall season arrives, give the cactus enough water to keep it from shriveling during the flower bud formation; the soil should barely be moist. Increase water to normal levels while the plant is flowering, again being careful not to over or under water.
The next step Check for insect infestations!
It also sounds like you might have mealybug. Is so, you must start treatment right away. These are nasty pests and very difficult to get rid of. Arm yourself and wage war. Rubbing alcohol is one of the most effective treatments for these nasty bugs; it strips their protective waxy coating and dehydrates them, allowing you to easily wipe or rinse them away. If the infestation is minimal, dunk some cotton swabs in rubbing alcohol, dab the insects with it and wash them away with the saturated cotton or under running water. Be merciless. Together with alcohol wipes, use brute force when possible; crush, squish and pulverize them with your fingers, then rinse them away with water or wipe them off with cotton swabs dipped in alcohol.
Pick up a plastic misting bottle  preferably inexpensive  and prepare an effective mealy-extermination spray. Fill it with one part (70% isopropyl) rubbing alcohol to three parts water. Mist your infected plant thoroughly, top to bottom, making sure to douse the nooks and crannies of your plant where the mealy bugs will take refuge and the alcohol solution is likely to miss them. Your spray has to make direct contact with the bugs for the extermination to be successful. Repeat this application for several weeks  twice a week is highly recommended  to be completely rid of the little demons. This method is more efficient and effective than simply wiping with cotton swabs since itÂs more likely to make contact with the newly hatched mealy bugs that go into hiding. Many houseplants growers that IÂve met over the years create their own solutions for insect battles. In addition to the alcohol, some plant owners add a few drops of mild dishwashing liquid to the mister but I've never tried it.
Good luck!
I would take some cuttings now just as insurance. A 15" pot would be too large for all but a gigantic CC. I water my CC more than you heidinoel. I do let it dry out a bit between winter waterings but I also keep mine cool during this time period. I have never seen a leaf implode. Even if you don't increase the pot size, your CC would no doubt appreciate some fresh soil. I would get this stem dropping issue cleared up before doing it however. The most common cause of this is too dry a soil BTW. Do the leaves wrinkle? If so I would give it more, not less water. You may have mealies as well but I really think theres a watering issue here. I hope you can bring it around, heirloom CCs are a treasure.
Testing or looking at the top of the potting medium for dryness is not a good method of judging whether or not to water.
Since this is pretty much a guessing game based on the little information we can glean from your post, I'd guess that your plant is over-watered. The top of the soil may appear to be dry, but the major part of the soil volume could still be soaked. This would especially be the case if your potting mix is not one that is uniformly coarse textured. Watering at weekly intervals seems excessive for this plant, unless you are giving it tiny sips, as suggested earlier. As mentioned, plants should be drenched thoroughly, and then allowed to dry out.
I see nothing in your post that indicates the usefulness of a fungicide. Do a google on mealybugs to see if that's what you have, and if so, go after them with the alcohol sprays.
rhizo 1, fred_grow, and nature_lover,
I can't thaink you all enough for taking the time to help me, in my desperate need!
Thank you for your good, clear, instructions. Just what I need as a beginner. I took the branch that came off, into a garden shop today. The fellow I spoke w/ felt the same as you, I probably over watered it and I should leave it alone and let it dry out.
I haven't seen anything that looks like mealybugs nor did he. So, I think I'll wait on that -- though I was prepared to run right to the drug store for alcohol.
The tough part will be, knowing when to begin watering again. I just want to make sure I don't get into a visious cycle of over/underwatering.
I AM, at your suggestion, going to take some clippings as soon as my lovely CC starts to mend. I measured my plant again and it's in a 12" pot.
Any tips on taking clippings? How would I start them? In soil? Water?
I am also going to repot w/ fresh soil, but I also think I should probably wait until the plant is "stablized."
Any tips on repotting?
Yes, the leaves are wrinkling!
Thank you, as well. The info. was very helpful. Thank you for taking th time to "harvest" it :-)
It is actually reasurring to know I AM watering in the correct manner. Maybe just too much lately.
Thank you all again,
Just twist off some healthy looking segments. Lay them aside for about 3 days to let them heal. Stick them in 1/2 perlite and 1/2 potting soil. Mist them daily for a couple weeks and then begin to water conservatively. This time of year it shouldn't take too long.
Hi again,
Thank you!
By segments, do you mean one of the "leaves" or a group of "leaves" in between "branches"? Sorry, I'm very new at this.
Will they eventually grw roots? If/When this happens, what do you suggest I repot them in (soil-wise)? Should I plant several togther? How big (or small, as I'm learning) should the pot be?
Thank you so so much.
Xmas cactus don't have leaves. Each 'branch' is a stem composed of numerous little segments or joints. At the end of each segment are the cells that will initiate new root growth. And more stems, down the road.
Stem cuttings won't work unless they are nice and healthy. Don't even bother if the stem sections you're trying to propagate are still soft and wrinkled.
Each cutting should consist of three or four segments. Don't be tempted to take large cuttings (with a bunch of segments), as that will greatly reduce your success. I actually never let mine dry out for a few days, but I know that others urge that you do so. As long as you use plenty of perlite in your potting medium, rot will not be a problem.
Take as many cuttings as you like. I will typically take three from the same plant and insert them (together) in a small clay pot for rooting and growing. These cuttings result in a well-balanced finished plant.
Also, I'd strongly suggest that upon sticking the cuttings into your perlite/potting medium that you drench it then and there. Those cuttings will need moisture in the beginning. Again, by adding plenty of perlite, you reduce the chance of rot. (You can even use 100% perlite, which is what I do.)
Attached is an image of a cactus stems consisting of about three segments each.
Perfect! Thank you so much for the kind hand-holding.
I will try taking some cuttings once I see the plant stabilizing.
I am assuming I put the cut end into the perlite/potting medium :-)
So far, no more segments or branches have dropped off -- but many are still flat. I'm hanging in there and hoping we're over the worst.
I will post in another few days to check-in... THANK YOU ALL!!!!
Hello, hello,
I have been very remiss in not writing sooner. Please believe, on almost a daily basis, when I look at my gorgeous, seemingly healthy Christmas cactus, I think about all of you truly wonderful people who took time from your busy days/evening to help me.
THANK YOU!! I don't know how else to say it, but because of all your thoughtful, kind, and patient help, my aunt's Christmas cactus survived.
It continues to hang (happily, so it seems) in my kitchen window. It is a little thinner after it's harrowing experience, but it seems to be doing pretty well.
I still have no idea why it started to die, but it seems to be coming back to life! There are a few new buds and the plant seems healthy and growing stronger.
I just really want to say again, belatedly, thank you so much, to all of you who helped me! No words can tell you how much I appreciate your kindness... But, I truly do. I couldn't not have done it with out you all.
Thank you!!!!
I am glad to hear your plant made it!
A few things I would like to say that were not mentioned - one is that when using rubbing alcohol to kill mealies or any bug, be very careful not to get it on the soil, it can kill the plant if it reaches the roots - a very small amount when misting is fine, but you don't want to drench the soil with it. If you plan on spraying heavily, cover the soil with aluminum foil or plastic wrap first.
I also had one of my CC's just fall apart on me, whole sections just dropping off - no shriveled leaves, no warning! On closer inspection, I found some rot - this is the one CC I did not repot, and the mix it was in was way too dense and peaty...Out of an 8 inch pot and from what was a nice sized plant, I was only able to save one small rooted section and alot of cuttings, which are now looking pretty good...but no matter how good a plant looks when you get it, repotting into an appropriate mix is a good idea. I use orchid bark, perlite and a small amount of potting soil, about equal parts, a little less of the soil. This is the same mix I use for ALL my plants, except the real cacti and some succulents.
Yes, Ines. That's what mine did. For no apparent (seemingly) reason, it just started loosing leaves. I don't think it had mealies -- I didn't see anything. But thank you for the tip re: rubbing alcohol, I will be careful.
Can you please answer two questions?
1. How did you know/how do I know when it's time to repot? (I sort of thought it was okay for the roots to be bound...)
2. What makes your mixture of orchid bark, etc so good? I'm always curious what else I should/could be doing.
Thank you!

scored some fat !!
I am up in Lexington VA with DS1 and DIL. His local butcher , Donald's Meat, is butchering pigs this week. I stopped in and Charlie said I can have ALL the leaf lard I can carry !! Wow...I will be rendering up a storm when I get back to AL.
I use it to make pastry and cookies. As my Mom and Grandmother used to say ," a good cookie never needs a greased pan". They always used lard to make their oatmeal cookies and pie crust. I am also looking forward to DH using it in his biscotti , as the Italians use what they call strutto . I have translated a bunch of wonderful Italian recipes and am looking forward to DH adding to his repertoire.
I will post pics as I get started and document the whole process. c
Funny....my great grandmother said "Agood crust greases it's own pan"..
I just put the fat in a dutch oevn, over a slow flame until it's pretty well liquid. I don't wait for any cracklings to brown!
Then pour into a container.....cool on the coulter, chill, turn out of the container, turn over and slice off any "bits" that have sunk to the bottom of the container.
Linda c
linda...they did know what they were talking about didn't they ? :) I may do it in the oven on a low temp. I have my great grandmother's big deep iron skillet . Yes if you let the cracklings brown it makes an off taste to the lard. You can crackle them later. I read that 6# of fat = 5 pints so I should have a real treasure trove of lard. c
I've always done it stovetop too, although my Aunt Midge used to use water somehow, I'd have to think about it for a while to remember exactly how that went.
I agree, letting the cracklins brown will add a flavor to the lard. It may look a bit yellow but it will whiten up as it sits.
Nothing better for pie crust, that's for sure. Good for you!
dixiedog...it is right past Kroger , you turn on McCorkle next to the Taco Bell. It is a winding narrow road ...drive slowly and be careful when you pull back out of their lot. It is on the right side a big sign about 1/2 mi down.
Charlie is behind the counter. They have absolutely lovely meats. Also have some milk and eggs and honey etc all local. Make sure and eat at The Red Hen ( shameless pitch ! ). c
I was lucky to have been gifted some leaf fat from free-range heritage Berkshire pigs.
This was how I did it.
1. Cut fat in small pieces.
2. Freeze fat.
3. Use food processor or grinder to chop fat into very tiny bits.
4. Use a tall pot with a 1/4 cup of water on the bottom and put the chopped up fat in the pot.
5. Use low temperature, (250F) to render.
6. When you are almost done with rendering all the fat out, set oven to 350 F.
7. Use a strainer to strain the fat out from the cracklins.
8. Put the cracklins in the oven to drain off more fat and crispy up. Fat flows better at higher temperature. Or:
9. If you can find a lard press to press out the remaining fat in the cracklins before crisping up at 350F.
OK...you had me at freezing and chopping...will do and will report back with pics. What I plan is getting about 20 # or so on Thursday at their closing as we leave here very early Fri AM. Will do about 5 # at a time and see how it goes with one method..d's first...and then go from there. I am sure there is a learning curve. If only I had my grandmother here...my grand dad raised Poland China hogs in OH back in the 20's and 30's. My dad was a butcher in the 40's. I could sure use their expertise now.
Funny how we value this info now and didn't listen as hard as we could have when we had the chance.
"Funny how we value this info now and didn't listen as hard as we could have when we had the chance. "
Frankly, if any of us were to start a discussion about rendering lard ANYWHERE but here on this Cooking Forum, someone might call for the white-coated men to cart us away....
Luckily here in Canada, we can still find unhydrogenated cheap lard in our supermarkets. As a 3rd generation (at least!) city kid, I would have no idea where to find suitable pig fat. However, I have recently started to regularly render chicken schmaltz...
cooksnews...I hear ya. But in reality lard is not a bad thing at all and is indeed very healthful to eat. All things in moderation.
pretty...glad I gave you a chuckle !!
islay..I believe I have seen that too !
Here is a link.

While the original has aged nicely, this ferocious anniversary remix kicks like a veritable mule with its amped up, gear-grinding electro gymnastics. 'Ö'Ö'Ö'Ö

Eric Burdon
'Til Your River Runs Dry (ABKCO Records)
FORMER Animal and 1960s psychedelic blues rock icon Eric Burdon has had something of a hit-and-miss career since leaving the famed The House of the Rising Sun-ers way back in 1969. With his latest set, the excellent 'Til Your River Runs Dry Burdon makes a case for renewed strength via longevity. This album will likely be touted as a "blues" set but there is much, much more here than any tired retread of 12-bar shoulder shrugging and posturing. For one Burdon's voice hasn't left him. His thick Geordie-leather pipes are still intact but with noticeably warm shadings around the edges. On Devil and Jesus he swoops up into an unbelievably sweet and true falsetto that belies his 70-year-plus age. The band is uniformly excellent offering studio player meticulousness while staying true to Burdon's coarser foundations. Lyrically Burdon lets loose on some hot-button issues that place him in the same club as contemporaries Ry Cooder and Mavis Staples. It's a solid listen that may get this legendary singer/songwriter some well-deserved notice after too long a dry spell. 'Ö'Ö'Ö'Ö

Tegan and Sara
Heartthrob (Vapor/ Warner Bros.)
TEGAN and Sara Quin were once the darlings of the indie-rock set, charming Canadian twins known for their raw, guitar-driven confessionals packed with emotion.
On Heartthrob, the Quins' seventh album, they let their inner dance-pop divas loose. Instead of Cat Power teamed with Ani DiFranco, they now sound like Kelly Clarkson paired with Gwen Stefani. And, in a bigger surprise, they sound pretty great doing it.
Tegan and Sara teamed with producer Greg Kurstin, best known for his work with Clarkson and Ke$ha, to build a shiny dance pop album that still includes their personal lyrics and memorable melodies.
The single Closer announces the change of direction and their broader commercial ambitions -- a catchy, stomping dance number that would be at home on a Katy Perry album and, more important, at the top of the pop charts. The synthy Drove Me Wild has slightly more of an edge, moving into Ellie Goulding territory.
Where Tegan and Sara really shine on Heartthrob, though, is when they reimagine songs that would previously have worked on their own albums and add some pop gloss. I'm Not Your Hero could have been on The Con, but it has received a Clarkson-esque makeover with Since U Been Gone-ish guitar and the synth-pop swoosh of Stronger.
How Come You Don't Want Me, which they wrote with longtime friend Jack Antonoff of fun., shows how Tegan and Sara can keep their history of deep feelings and weave it into their bright, poppier future. 'Ö'Ö'Ö'Ö 1/2

Patricia Barber
Smash (Concord Jazz)
A new Patricia Barber recording is a musical and linguistic adventure. The jazz singer, pianist and composer (song poet, really) has done it again with this 12-tune disc, her 12th and first for Concord.
The theme is lost love and Barber's lyrics and voice make it real in the title track when she sings "this is the sound / of a heart breaking" over tender piano and bass, you know it's true. But just to be sure, it's followed by a screaming guitar solo that approximates a heart rending.
There is no one in jazz like Barber: no one matches her lyrics, the melodies she writes to match those lyrics, or her musical inventiveness.
The only concession here to the standard jazz format might be the instrumental number, Bashful, which gives the pianist, guitarist John Kregor, bassist Larry Kohut and drummer Jon Deitemyer each a chance to shine as a soloist.
On the songs, this sparse lineup is the perfect showcase for Barber's voice and lyrics.
Smash is another great Barber recording and another sign that jazz singing doesn't have to encompass Broadway show tunes. 'Ö'Ö'Ö'Ö

How do I tie up/support my 8' tall upright boxwoods?
These upright boxwoods were 18" tall when I purchased them 20 years ago. They are in an area in our yard which has been sadly neglected. They are now around 8'-10' tall and are in need of being tied up. I could use some help with how to go about doing this. I know that I have to put the rope into a piece of hose, or something that will protect the trunks. There are multiple trunks to gather together. How far apart shall I gather them? I don't know where to start. Should I prune some foliage away? Or, is this a plant that should be left alone, and just supported? I am surprised there is no snow damage, as they get alot of snow piled between the branches when we get a good snow. Thanks to anyone who can help.
its time for REJUVENATION PRUNING ...
rather than tying them up ..
see link ... after you read thru a few.. you ought to get the idea ... and can come back with more specific questions ...
Here is a link that might be useful: link
hi donnaroe,
I have seen chicken wire cut to size and wrapped around upright plants like taxus, junipers, topiary etc. You might also think about a loosely woven fabric or netting. It will be hidden as the new growth grows through it.
Here is a link that might be useful: American Boxwood Society
I finally took some photos of our terribly overgrown boxwoods. Maybe this will help with just how to selectively prune these, and then tie up/support them, so that they keep somewhat of an upright shape. Now they are messy looking. Thanks to anyone who can help, as we really need to so something about this!
Here is a link that might be useful: upright boxwood
Another photo
Here is a link that might be useful: upright boxwood
donnaroe, I completely misunderstood your initial post. I thought that you were asking about upright, fastigiate or columnar boxwood.
Now that you have posted a pic it looks like you have American Box doing what American Box does. We see them often around large federal buildings and college campuses. This is not the dward English or edgeing box.
ps, the leaves are opposite, not alternate right?
Thank you, sam, for answering. I just went and looked, and yes the leaves are opposite, not alternate. Gosh, you really know your boxwood! I did not know what kind they were. I only know that they were about a foot tall when I bought them over 20 years ago.
So, what do you think we should do with them? If you don't think they need to be pruned, then I would like to go in and clean out the dead leaves that have worked their way into the interior over the years, prune out the very few pieces of branches that are brown, and then tie them in a few places to give them a more tidy look. If you think this is a good plan, should I cut some garden hose, and then put some sort of roping inside of that to protect the bark and support them this way? What type of rope/cord should I use which won't degrade in the weather?

John Carter
Posted April 7, 2012
Fun and Satisfying Scifi Epic
If you are looking for a great action adventure, look no further. JOHN CARTER is a classic scifi tale based on a series of novels penned by Edgar Rice Burroughs, creator of Tarzan, about 100 years ago. These stories were the source material that inspired George Lucas' STAR WARS saga, the Superman comicbooks, James Cameron's AVATAR, and the Flash Gordan and Buck Rogers characters among many many others. Blending action, humor, romance and drama with some of the best CGI special effects since AVATAR, JOHN CARTER will not disappoint. Taylor Kitsch does a great job in the title role, and Lynn Collins as the princess Dejah Thoris is absolute perfection. The CGI Martian 'dog' Woola is a show stealer with his comical and endearing antics, and the green four-armed Tharks Tars Tarkas (Willem Dafoe) and Sola (Samantha Morton)are amazingly brought to life onscreen. Mark Strong as the Thern Matai Shang and Dominic West as Sab Than make great villians in this story, and James Purefoy's wonderful portrayal of Kantos Kan in a supporting role is so good he simply doesn't get enough screen time to do him justice. Epic battle scenes, plenty of action and light humor throughout, heroism, and many moments of high emotion and drama -- it is all here! Many professional film critics just got this one wrong, it definitely is NOT A FLOP in terms of quality film making; Director Andrew Stanton and Co. have everything to be proud of here. This movie is rollicking fun and the most satisfying film I have seen so far this year. You will find your appreciation for this movie grows with each time you see it (I have seen it multiple times in the theatres) and you will constantly note things you missed in previous viewings, it is that rich in detail. Honestly, I rank this up there along with the original STAR WARS and Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings movies for pure entertainment value. *****5 STARS from me, well worth your time and money!

Fantastic Film That Deserves Huge Success
John Carter is one of my very favorite films of all time! I've been baffled that people didn't go see it. A few negative critic's reviews and shoddy marketing really hurt it and it deserves SO much more! The cast is marvelous! The story smart and not dumbed down like so many big blockbuster films are today. The effects are so perfect you forget you're watching CGI! There is loads of great humor, smart action and high adventure! A world that is so addictive to experience that each time I've seen the film I've wanted to stay in my seat and watch all over again. I've been to see it 6 times and I'm going again this weekend before it's gone from my local cinema! I hope great word of mouth from people who have actually watched this awesome film will turn around the negative perception and ultimately make it a hit! Like other films before it that didn't have great box office success, but went on to be all time classics, John Carter is 100% classic material! I love it to bits!!

A great, FUN fantasy film!
This was the most fun I've had at the movies in ages! Super special effects, humor and action. And, dare I say it, the most mis-marketed movie of all time!
But what is going on with Disney? First the marketing fiasco, and now Disney and Amazon quit accepting pre-orders!?!?!
I can not image why Disney persists in seeming to do everything it can to "Prove" the critics claim that this movie is a flop! Bad marketing before hand, labeling it a 200million dollar flop after 2 weeks in theatres, no tie in merchandising (Not even one PRINCESS item) and my daughter wants a Dejah Thoris doll!
But now this mystery of the disappearring pre-orders!

This is a great movie. You watch it with a date or with your kids. Interesting story (I had never read the books), great action, humor, good special effects, good cast -- just a good movie. Taylor Kitsch did a good job and he is good looking too. I own this movie and I watch it on cable when it plays. I think future generations will consider this a unique and classic sci fi movie. I think people will wonder why this movie wasn't a big success in 2012 when it is such a high quality film. It is different because the aliens are not attacking earth and humans are not attacking aliens way out in the galaxy. I love Star Wars and Star Trek, and I love John Carter of Mars.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.

I found the movie to be enjoyable, but the only problem it didn't follow the novel it's said to be based on.

Audiences who have sought out "John Carter" have been richly rewarded for their efforts, indeed. To say that it is cinematically stunning is an understatement, for the viewer is more than just transported to Mars (called 'Barsoom' by the locals). Correctly said, audiences are enveloped in the mustard-yellow sand and moss, the harsh, desert-like dunes of the tree-top tall Tharks, the cold red and black of the Trojan-inspired Zodangans and the sea blue hues of the Heliumites, of whom the scholarly and beautiful Dejah Thoris is both Princess and Regent of the Royal Academy Of Science. It is into this motley realm that John Carter is unwittingly zapped by a magical medallion which has the power to transport copies of beings between the worlds. After being thrust like a baby upon Sola, the pariah of the Thark clans, Carter soon is initiated into a barbaric society where cruelty and unpleasant behavior are prized over kindness and civility by all except Sola and the tribe's leader, Tars Tarkas, with whom she has a secret connection. Once Carter's natural pluckiness and agility kick in, he adapts to the difference in gravity on his host planet and finds that he can literally soar by jumping into the air, leaping from one object to another. From the moment Carter witnesses Princess Dejah in peril high above the dusty landscape beyond the Tharks' settlement, his impetuous aerial forays lift the spirits of the audience as well. Like Peter Pan's leap into the skies from the Darling's windowsill, John Carter's method of transport nudges his viewers onto a thrilling roller coaster ride of valiant swashbuckling, mysterious adventure and, after some charming cat-n-mouse play, an ultimately satisfying romance.Was this review helpful?

This is an intelligent—ultimately "intellectual"—action/adventure film, fully respectful of its audience. It features no vulgar language, no overtly sexual content and only two brief scenes of violence intense enough that it carries a PG-13 rating. Even the spilled blood is blue in color, save that of Carter's (he sports a slight nose bleed throughout).
As for performances, Lynn Collins (also from Fox's "Wolverine") is the most strong-willed, self-confident and intelligent Disney Princess of them all, perfectly modest yet sensuously attractive. Taylor Kitsch, the action hero of 2012, gives Douglas Fairbanks a run for his money as the handsome, dashing ex-military man who persistently shuns a budding romance in honor of the murdered wife and child for whom he still grieves. Voice actors Willem Dafoe (Tars Tarkas) and Thomas Haden-Church (Tal Hajus) verbally spar in excellent performances as they vie for leadership of the Tharks, while they are similarly matched on the feminine side by the sweet-tempered Sola (Samantha Morton) who is physically and emotionally tortured by the dour Sarkoja (Polly Walker). While viewers walk out humming the lilting and lovely score by award-winning composer Michael Giacchino, the character they would most love to have as a friend is Woola, John Carter's faithful calot (a big, lizard-like dog) who can run at over 250 miles per hour and acts like a 100 lbs puppy. Woola has fast become the world's newest favorite fantasy pet and it is a great pity that there are no plush toys for sale to that ever-growing audience joining the ranks of "John Carter" fans. ----DH Brooks, author, "A Legacy Of The Pacific"

Not for everyone!!!!
This movie was a fanancial disaster. BUT, if you read the novels - it's a marvelous adaptation; if you can overlook the Hollywood-ization. <b>Lynn Collins</b> is well casted as Deja - sexy and tough. The general public did not get this movie - the original novels were written 100 years ago (which tells you how truely fantastic it really was - in 1912; but, to a 2012 audience: not so much.) If you take into account that the story is 100 years old, you'll really, really, appreciate it!Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

Ignore the top critics! This film was FUN!
I went into the theater with my boyfriend the second weekend without having seen any of the bad reviews, and we walked out loving this film. I was shocked when I heard it referred to as a "bomb." While there were some hokey parts, I thought the film was far and away better than a lot of the higher grossing films of recent years. First of all, the beautiful visual effects completely immersed me in this expansive world of fierce warrior clans, explosive airship battles, and grand, sprawling cities. Second, I found myself genuinely caring for the characters. I was riveted to the screen from the moment the movie began until the moment it ended. It's a great sci-fi film, and if you liked Star Wars at all, you'll enjoy John Carter as well!Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

The film is based on the classic turn-of-the-century pulp fiction novel "The Princess of Mars" by Edgar Rice Burroughs (Tarzan). A Civil War veteran finds himself transported to Mars, where he falls in with a warrior tribe, woos a Princess, and wins victory for his adopted people. It's a tale often told, but viewers should keep in mind that the original book was published in 1917, many decades before the release or publication of Star Wars, Dune, and Avatar. It certainly tops Star Wars and Dune in visual effects, and it bests Avatar with its heart and soul.
The stand out performance belongs to Lynn Collins, who plays the beautiful warrior Princess of a beleaguered city on the brink of destruction. Sold in marriage, she escapes and stumbles across John Carter and tries to rally him to her cause. I found their exchanges sparkled with chemistry and romantic tension, and Collins provides such a strong, yet feminine, presence that she makes Princess Leia seem like a shrew.
Other tidbits that may interest fans of HBO's Rome will be interested to note that John Carter includes 3 major cast members: Ciaran Hinds (Julius Caesar); James Purefoy (Mark Antony); and Polly Walker (Atia).
So to sum up, this film was fantastic! Buy it!

Sochi's Condemned Stray Dogs Are Being Saved By A Russian Billionaire
Oleg Deripaska, one of Russia's richest men, has built a shelter above Sochi.
1. Deripaska was upset that thousands of strays were being put down by authorities after a pest control company was handed a contract.
2. So he took it upon himself to build these dog shelters in Baranovka near Sochi.
3. He told the BBC: "My first dog I found in the street of my village, the tiny village [where I grew up]."
4. "It was a very close friend for five years."
5. Stray dogs had been attracted to Sochi by the huge number of construction workers there.
6. After one interfered with rehearsals for the opening ceremony and another bit a child, an extermination company was called in.
7. The company's director described the dogs as "biological trash", and there was outrage.
8. There were estimates that up to 7,000 dogs were killed using poison and traps.
9. Deripaska is the boss of the biggest aluminium company in the world.
10. So far he's managed to save 140 dogs, and a number have been successfully rehomed.
UK readers might also remember him from 2008, when he was involved in the "yachtgate" scandal with Lord Mandelson and the then-shadow chancellor George Osborne.

Boys lacrosse: Tigers looking to make noise in section
A couple of lopsided games last week gave the Farmington boys lacrosse team a chance to prepare for the section tournament.
The Tigers got some younger players a little varsity experience and rested a few starters while downing St. Cloud Tech 17-5 and Simley 12-7 in a pair of road games that closed out an 8-5 regular season. All five of those losses have come by a single goal.

Old dogs, new digs
Meet a senior rescuing seniors
Prepare to get misty-eyed, because today I'm going to share the heartbreaking story of Abby and Titus, a pair of affectionate senior citizens desperately hoping to live out their twilight years together.
It's been a hard road for these devoted seniors, who have battled serious health issues and become inseparable over the past 12 years, including six years when they were forced to live in a hallway.
Their already sad story took a tragic turn last month when the pair found themselves homeless. Fortunately, Judy Smith-Hill, a semi-retired dog groomer who lives in Stony Mountain, came riding to the rescue.
That's because Abby and Titus are two adorable miniature dachshunds and Smith-Hill is the kind-hearted founder of Before the Bridge Senior K9 Rescue, a non-profit organization dedicated to finding homes for elderly dogs that have been surrendered, neglected or abandoned.
While other rescues focus on particular breeds, Before the Bridge is the last hope for dogs like Abby and Titus -- senior canines who end up homeless as they enter what should be their golden years.
Since being launched in August 2012, the rescue has found homes for 48 senior dogs. It has another 12 households in its network of volunteer foster homes waiting for permanent placements.
Smith-Hill got the idea after spending several years fostering dogs for Hull's Haven Border Collie Rescue, a non-profit run by Sally Hull that helps all breeds but has a special focus on border collies.
"I probably fostered 58 or 59 dogs over the years for them," says the part-time groomer who doesn't want her age to appear in a newspaper. ("I'm just a senior rescuing seniors," she insists with a laugh.)
"Sally Hull asked me to take a dog that was a senior, a stray... I knew I wouldn't have her long. In the end, I had her four-and-a-half months.
"When she passed, I was devastated. At that point, the idea was in my head -- these poor senior dogs, nobody really wants them and they have to euthanize them, so someone has to care for them and that's me."
Starting a rescue made no financial sense, but Smith-Hill was driven by her heart, not her head.
"I opened my rescue by cashing in two RSPs," she confesses. "Just $2,000 to have a cushion, a bank account."
Smith-Hill says older dogs can find themselves homeless for a variety of reasons, such as when an owner dies or enters an extended-care facility.
"There's a lot of family breakups and nobody can take the dog because they're moving from a house into an apartment and we don't have enough pet-friendly apartments," she points out. "And some people give up their dogs because they have health issues they can't afford to fix."
Whatever the reason, Smith-Hill says, it's heartbreaking when a loyal dog is parted from a longtime owner.
"These are dogs who have loved their families and then the family circumstances change and they find themselves homeless," she notes. "It's really heartbreaking. My job is to find a home where they'll be loved."
While it's easy to place a puppy, finding homes for older dogs poses unique challenges. Potential owners may be reluctant to take on a pet that might not have much longer to live, or that may have serious and potentially expensive health issues.
But she says older dogs can make the best pets, because they are typically house-trained and beyond the furniture-chewing, bouncing-off-the-wall stages of puppyhood.
"Senior dogs require less exercise," she explains. "They're easier to look after. They're loyal and loving. They're just happy you're home and to have a scratch and a belly rub and lie at your feet."
Smith-Hill tries not to judge anyone who relinquishes an older dog, although it's not always easy.
"One woman gave up a senior dog because she said it just wasn't doing it for her anymore," she recalls. "I don't know what that meant. I later found out she got a puppy."
There have also been pleasant surprises along the way as her group approaches its one-year anniversary.
"My original concept was for seniors to rescue seniors, but what has happened is the younger generation has stepped forward and they're adopting these dogs," she declares. "These are high-powered people who don't want to come home and find their furniture has been eaten by a bored young dog that requires more exercise. It was a surprise, but I understand the reasoning.
"Senior dogs need a helping hand. If they end up in a shelter, they could be euthanized if they're not adopted."
In the case of Abby, 14, and Titus, 12, Smith-Hill, who has two dogs of her own, is serving as a foster mother for the hard-luck wiener dogs.
The dogs spent 12 years living with a woman who now has an eight-year-old son with special needs. When he was two, Smith-Hill says, Abby was accused of lunging at the child, who may not have known how to play with a pet. "Instead of looking for a home, the mother blocked the dogs off in a hallway," she says. "She let them out to go to the washroom, but they weren't allowed to roam free.
"They were kept like that for six years and then she decided to it was time to find them another home and she heard about me."
While it may not be easy, the patron saint of senior dogs is praying for a home where Abby and Titus can live out their final years as a couple.
"They deserve to live out their lives in a home that loves them," she says, her voice choked with emotion. "They're just happy to be alive. I'm going to miss them."
