Some of the form/shading in the torso gets a little peculiar, but you always manage to charm your way out of any of that nitpicky nonsense with the overall strength and beauty that suffuses your pictures, and this one is no exception.
An exceptionally sexy and alluring beast, she is. You successfully add your mark to the mysterious Absinthian history. (Is a uniquely toxic beverage, though, so... maybe an indulgence to be avoided, oui?)

Extension > Garden > Yard and Garden > Pine needle rust
Pine needle rust
Pine needle rust is a native fungal disease of Austrian (Pinus nigra), jack (P. banksiana), red (P. resinosa), ponderosa (P. ponderosa), mugo (P. mugo), and Scots (P. sylvestris) pine, caused by the fungus Coleosporium asterum. This rust causes little damage. However, browning and needle loss on lower branches may disfigure or retard growth of young pines. Wild or cultivated species of aster (Aster), goldenrod (Solidago), and several other members of the daisy or aster family (Compositae) are alternate hosts for this rust fungus in Minnesota.
Fig. 1. Infected pine needle. Insert shows detail of the split, exposing spores.
Pine needle rust requires one year to complete its life cycle. Reproductive structures (basidia) develop on aster or goldenrod leaves during late summer or early autumn. Spores produced from these structures are windblown to pine needles, where new infections begin.
The fungus survives winter in infected pine needles and in perennial alternate hosts. The following spring, small yellow spots appear on infected needles. Later that spring, white swellings (aecia, reproductive structures) develop, which split open, exposing orange spores (Fig. 1.). These spores are wind- dispersed and infect the underside of leaves on the alternate host. Orange reproductive structures (uredia) develop on the leaf tissues and produce spores that cause repeated infections of alternate hosts during early summer. During the same period, reproductive structures (telia) begin to develop among the uredia on infected leaves. Different reproductive structures (basidia) are produced from the telia. Spores released from the basidia in late summer to early fall infect pine needles, thus completing the rust life cycle.
Pine needle rust rarely causes severe damage to well established trees. Removal of alternative hosts from the immediate vicinity of the trees will reduce infections of pines. Cultural practices such as watering during dry periods, mulching, and fertilizing may increase the vigor of stressed trees.

4 Key Payments Trends from the 2013 World Payments Report
Capgemini's latest World Payments Report highlights a number of interesting trends that are fostering the growth of non-cash payments around the globe.
September 20, 2013
Capgemini released its annual World Payments Report in conjunction with RBS this past week at Sibos. The report, which tracks worldwide payments trends, found that non-cash payments increased 8.8% to 307 billion transactions in 2011, and predicted that number increased 8.5% to 333 billion transactions in 2012. That increase was driven by big upticks in non-cash payments in emerging markets. Additionally, a wide variety of payments forms, including credit cards, mobile payments and prepaid products, contributed to the growth in non-cash payments. Here we look at four factors featured in the report that are changing how payments are made around the world.

Recent retirees, Mike and Jean Ober, celebrated their 35 wedding anniversary in April, with a trip down the Colorado River, through the Grand Canyon. The 187 mile trip started at Lee's Ferry and ended 7 days later near Whitmore Wash with a helicopter ride to Bar 10 Ranch. The days were warm, sunny and dry. The temperatures were in the mid 50's in mornings, mid 80's in the afternoon, on several days, we had high winds, which are common in the canyon. The constant blowing sand surprised us and was an added seasoning in all of our meals and our morning coffee. The views were unforgettable. Many of the rapids were huge; some were a real adrenaline rush. The water temperature was a cool 46 degrees. By the end of the trip, only three cameras were working in the whole group. Jean and I had 2 of them. I had a waterproof Olympus 8 mega pixel point and shoot that did great with the on-raft shots and video. Jean had our other camera, a 6 mega pixel Olympus SLR for some of the on-land shots. I have a feeling the sand took a toll on the SLR. The Grand Canyon was beautiful! The Colorado River had an emerald green hue that ran clear and cold. Meals were, for the most part, fantastic. Camp sites were breathtaking. I wish there had been more hikes (to warm our bones), but the ones we did take got us to some spectacular overlooks of the river and to some beautiful side canyons. One of the best and highest was to an overlook of the Granite Narrows, the narrowest part of the canyon (76 feet wide). This hike took us above Deer Creek Falls and back up the slot canyon toward the origin of Deer Creek. Getting to the overlook was the stair master from %&*#. The ledges we had to walk and the big drop offs were not for the faint-hearted in this slot canyon. Only about half of the group participated on this hike. The days went by very quickly; the nights were long for me, except Margarita Night when I slept very well. Bathing in 46 degree river water was a breath taking daily adventure as well as a being cold and wet all day from the rapids. Maintaining a good hand(s) hold in the rapids was a challenge. On what the boatmen call "rapid day", we had a series of 20 major rapids in 9 miles. One of those rapids tore me loose from the ropes (both hands) and pitched me over and backward on the boat so quick I didn't even realize what had happened. I was fortunate to have not ended up in the water, or to have landed on top of someone. That would have been a great picture though. I am not sure I would sit up front for that particular rapid again. One of the boatmen asked if I was alright. When I answered "yes", he said "well get back up there"! I really didn't have a choice, no one would trade places with me. We did have a great adventure. We shared this experience with a fun loving group of people. I haven't quite reconciled the word "fun" for the entire trip yet, but, we would do it again."

This series premiered with a special which aired on September 6, 1966, while the series aired from September 10, 1966 to August 31, 1969.
Twenty-four thirty-minute episodes were produced, each with two eight-minute King Kong episodes paired with a single eight-minute Tom Thumb, 001/7. The one-hour special was split into two 20-minute shows, making the whole series run twenty-six episodes.
Alternate U.S. title: "King Kong Ruler of the World."
Toei funded part of the series itself, and this show did air in Japan under the title: Sekai no Osha King Kong Daikai. However, designs, scripts, storyboards and voice track were supplied ready-made from the United States.
To get the rights (from the owners of the property, RKO General, Inc.) to use the name King Kong for television, executive producer Arthur Rankin, Jr. had to promise to make a feature film. This resulted in Rankin producing and directing his first non-animated movie, "King Kong Escapes," for RKO.

April 20, 2012
With a sophistication unimaginable only a few years ago, Chinese companies are making more overseas acquisitions in a broader range of industries to gain technology and brands and move up the value chain.
By Matthew Miller
Wanhua Industrial Group is a product, and a part, of Chinas incredible growth story. Over the past three decades, the company, based in the coastal city of Yantai, some 800 kilometers (500 miles) north of Shanghai, has transformed itself from a small regional manufacturer into Asias biggest maker of polyurethane, a plastic used in everything from automobiles to carpets. Looking to sustain that growth, CEO Ding Jiansheng has set his sights on Europe, which represents about one third of the global market for isocyanates, the raw materials for making polyurethane.
In late 2009, Ding found a target in BorsodChem, a Hungarian maker of chemical foams and plastics with a strong European distribution network. BorsodChem had gotten into trouble following a 1.6 billion ($2.1 billion) leveraged buyout in 2006 by U.K. private equity firm Permira Advisers and Vienna Capital Partners. When the global financial crisis hit, sales plummeted, losses mounted, and the firm risked collapsing under the weight of its 1.47 billion in debt. BorsodChem snubbed the first overture from Ding and Wanhua Industrial, hoping instead to refinance its debt with 60-odd lenders, so the Chinese fashioned an alternative strategy. Wanhua Industrial quickly bought up 200 million of the companys debt to get a seat at the restructuring table. It was the first time a Chinese company had used this tactic, a staple of hedge funds and private equity investors seeking to gain corporate control.
This was a secret strategy, says Joseph Tse, a Beijing-based partner at Allen & Overy, the law firm that advised the Chinese company. It was not without its risks or challenges. Wanhua Industrial, a state-owned enterprise, needed to win approval from government regulators to pursue its gambit; the strategy also could have left it holding loans in a failing business. But in a three-day session in Frankfurt and Budapest, the company opened negotiations that eventually allowed it to convert its debt into a 38 percent stake in BorsodChem; it also provided 140 million in financing in exchange for the right to buy full control. By February 2011 the company had completed a 1.24 billion takeover, becoming one of the worlds three biggest producers of isocyanates, alongside Germanys BASF and Bayer. Ding, who took over as chairman of BorsodChem in January, said the merger would turn the two outfits from two regional players into one global company. He called the deal a beacon for other Chinese companies looking to invest in Europe.

SiCKOs in the Sanctuary
By Donna Smith, American SiCKO
DENVER -- The pillars did not crumble and the crosses did not quake as Michael Moore's documentary 'SiCKO' played on the screen in the sanctuary of the First Universalist Church of Denver. More than 100 people attended the forum hosted by the churches Social Justice Committee, and the group lingered for more than an hour after the film to talk with two of the film's subjects, Larry and Donna Smith, of Aurora, Colorado.
The First Universalist's Social Justice Committee has already endorsed single-payer (publicly funded, privately delivered), universal health care, and the forum was one in a series held to give the community an opportunity to explore the issues. Dave Bean, webmaster for Health Care for All Colorado, was also invited to speak about state efforts to pass a single-payer plan.
The Smiths expressed their gratitude in being able to speak within the Denver faith community where the discussion of universal health care is sometimes not so welcome as the ill-informed or ill-intentioned equate single-payer coverage with socialism or even communism. Some more conservative churches never discuss the subject -- nor would they dare show 'SiCKO' -- lest the right-wing elements go on the attack. But Donna Smith thanked the Universalists for being part of the larger faith community which must speak up on behalf of those who are suffering at the hands of the current health system.
Dave Bean spoke about Colorado's effort at health reform, including the upcoming January 31 report of the blue ribbon commission on health reform to the Colorado state legislature. Though a huge number of Coloradoans attended the commission's public hearings in support of single-payer reform, the commission is poised to recommend mandated insurance coverage as part of their own solution while the state's governor, Bill Ritter, takes care to make only incremental, politically cautious plans for change.
Smith reminded the crowd that there already is national legislation for single-payer reform. HR676, the National Health Insurance Act, already has 87 co-sponsors, though no one from Colorado's delegation, sadly. Smith said those who wonder why their Congressional member does not sign on to HR676 need look no further than their campaign contributors for the reasons. 'Democrat or Republican, some of our leaders are plain bought and paid for,' Smith said. In particular, the group asked about Rep. Diana DeGette, D-CO, and Smith urged the group to look at opensecrets.org to find all of the more than 400,000 reasons why the popular Colorado Democrat has not co-sponsored HR676 as yet.
Since it was January 13, the Smiths also asked the audience to say a prayer in remembrance of Tracy Pierce, who 'went to sleep' for the last time on January 13, 2006, and then died five days later after having been denied numerous treatments for the kidney cancer that claimed his life. January 13 is also Julie Pierce's (Tracy's widow) birthday. The group spent a few moments in silence. The Pierce's story is also a part of 'SiCKO,' and the Smiths have become dear friends to Julie and Tracy, Jr.
The church will continue its efforts in support of single-payer health care reform in the months to come.

Staff Writer
Bob Corkum was named Wednesday as the interim head coach of the University of Maine men's hockey team.
Bob Corkum has been named interim head hockey coach at the University of Maine.
Courtesy of University of Maine
Corkum served five years as associate head coach under the man he replaces, Tim Whitehead, who was fired Tuesday after 12 seasons.
"Bob Corkum was a great Black Bear and NHL player," said Athletic Director Steve Abbott in a statement. "He did a terrific job as an associate head coach and I am confident that he can give us stability during this time of transition."
Abbott said he's forming a search committee to find a permanent coach.
Corkum played for Maine from 1985-89, and participated in Frozen Four appearances in 1988 and 1989, and an NCAA tournament in 1987. He was named Maine's most inspirational player in 1988 and a captain for the 1988-89 season.
He went on to a 12-year career in the National Hockey League with stops in Buffalo, Atlanta, New Jersey, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Philadelphia and Anaheim. His coaching career included jobs at two high schools before moving into the ranks of junior hockey, with the Portland Junior Pirates and New Hampshire Monarchs. He has spent the past two summers coaching USA Hockey, serving as assistant coach of the 2012 U.S. under-18 team that played in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
"I have fond memories of my time here as a player and a coach," Corkum said in the statement. "My mission as coach is to give our student-athletes the same experience I had during my four years here at the University of Maine."

The City of Rogers
Photo of the Month
Bolin Murder Inquest
One of the
earliest known photographs of Rogers is
shown at right. It depicts the prosperous,
growing town in about 1881 along First
Street between Elm and Poplar Streets. The
year 1881 is notable in the history of
Rogers as the year of its incorporation.
That year also hold another, but
unfortunate, distinction for the community.
In 1881 Rogers held its first murder
Christmas Eve of 1881 town authorities were
alerted that a shooting had taken place at
the residence of the Bolin family. The
inquest transcripts are not clear as to
their exact address however. The coroner
was absent, so Mayor J. Wade Sikes served in
that capacity and began the investigation.
Mary Bolin and the Bolin's boarder, George
Martin, were taken into custody and held for
questioning and Mayor Sikes immediately
summoned a jury of the following "twelve
good and lawful" men: Roland Mitchell, John
Dunagin, Thomas Stoakes, J.F. McDaniel, J.W.
Davis, R.B. Parker, J.W. Boyd, J. Cook, J.
Summey, M.B. Coroan (?), W.L. Prewit, and
E.D. Morgan.
given by witnesses in the Coroner's inquest
painted a troubled image of the Bolin home.
Mary Bolin testified that Esow had
previously killed two men to her knowledge
and that he had threatened her life with a
knife. She said that "he was a common
thief, robber, and murderer" and that she
killed Esow to save her own life. Mary also
went on to testify that their boarder,
George Martin, was sleeping in the room
where the shooting took place.
A major
cause of the tension between the Bolins
seems to have revolved around the sale of a
group of supposedly stolen knives by Mary to
an individual named Billy Board. Esow had
learned that the authorities were making
inquires regarding the knives and feared
that the sale might lead to the discovery of
his guilt, according to Mary. She reported
that she knew that the knives were stolen
before she sold them. She also testified
that Martin knew that she and "her husband
did not get along well together." But that
he did not know of her intention of killing
Bolin's twelve year old daughter, Mary, Jr.,
was called to testify. She said that she
was awake at the time of the shooting, but
that she did not see it happen. She also
claimed that she heard her father threaten
her mother not long prior to the murder, but
that there had been no trouble between her
parents during the three weeks that Martin
boarded with the family. In the transcript
of her testimony she reported, "Mother did
not tell me what to say before I came
here." Mary, Jr. also testified that she
didn't know if Martin knew of any trouble
between her parents.
Martin testified that the shooting woke him
up and that Mary asked him to "get up and
let the people know it." Martin, a
carpenter from Eureka Springs, had arrived
in Rogers three weeks prior to the shooting,
took lodging with the Bolins, and had worked
with Esow Bolin. Martin also testified that
Mrs. Bolin had not confided in him regarding
the trouble over the sale of the stolen
Mary, Jr.
was recalled to the stand and testified as
follows: "Father and Mother had a quarrel
about two weeks ago. The quarrel was while
they were at dinner. No one present except
Mr. Martin. Don't know what the quarrel was
about. Never quarreled but once in the
presence of Mr. Martin."
The jury
carefully examined the body, evidence,
premises, prisoners, and witnesses and
returned a verdict, which read as follows:
"Esow Bolin came to his death at the hour
12:11am December 24th, 1881 from
a pistol shot in back of the head ranging
forward and breaking the skull of the
forehead but not passing out. Said pistol
was fired by Mary Bolin wife of said Esow
Bolin." Sikes arrested Mary Bolin and
placed her in the Benton County Jail to
await action by the Grand Jury. The Grand
Jury was then responsible for determining if
enough evidence existed to issue an
indictment against Mrs. Bolin and hold a
criminal trial.
The most
shocking testimony of the case was given by
Benton County Deputy Sheriff and Jailor,
W.F. Patton. After Mary Bolin had been
taken to the Benton County Jail in
Bentonville, Patton visited the jail with
friends during the afternoon around 2pm. At
that time, Mary asked for something to trim
threads from her dress and Patton reported
loaning her his Barlow knife. About 3pm,
Patton returned to the jail and found
another prisoner, Emily Arney, sweeping out
the jail. As he stepped back to allow Arney
to sweep out the area of the cells, Mrs.
Bolin cut her own throat with the Barlow
knife. Mary Bolin's infant child was the
only person in the cell with her at the time
she committed suicide.
Mrs. Arney,
who was also being held on a murder charge,
gave the final testimony of the case: "I
never did hear her say that she would take
her own life. She eat her dinner and then
went back to bed to nip off some ruffles, I
believe. Mr. Patton told me not to come in
there, she had cut her throat."

With fall approaching, a new Girl Scout year is beginning. All summer you've been looking forward to meeting with the girls and exploring new projects, activities, and possibilities. So why do you have "new school year" jitters? Whether you are a seasoned volunteer, or new to Girl Scouting, here are five steps to follow to starting the year off right:
Five Steps for Success
1. Set the Tone
You set the tone for the girls—whether they are new to Girl Scouting or returning Girl Scouts—you want everyone to feel comfortable.
2. Have Some Fun
Need an icebreaker to get things started? Try some games or energy burners. Get them up and moving and before you know it, everyone's having fun! Check out some games and icebreakers.
3. Mix it Up
It's only natural for girls to want to stay with what's familiar—but cliques aren't cool! Encourage the girls to make new friends within the troop or group. Remind them of that Girl Scout classic: "Make new friends, but keep the old..."
4. Ask the Girls
Girl involvement is vital for success. Whether it's deciding which petals to earn, where to take a trip, or what type of community service project they do, girls need to have a say in what they do. Encourage the girls to find activity ideas and to get them thinking about what they'd like to discuss and do.
5. Chill Out
Everyone has hectic schedules—both you and the girls! They need to put their feet up, chat with friends, and have some down time. And so do you!
Remember—you have a lot of support. In addition to the wonderful staff at your Girl Scout council, GSUSA has a lot of other resources. From leader and advisor guides, to the latest research, there's a world of strategies available to you.
Welcome Everyone
How do you create a comfortable and fun environment? These tips can help all the girls feel welcome—regardless of their age.

"Gospel Good, Gospel Bad, Gospel Ugly"
A film by Michael L. Buie and directed by James A. House
Coming Spring 2012
This trailer is not a short teaser, but a longer length to let potential distributors see more of what is in the film.
Constructive comments welcome.
What I saw looked good, and tightly shot and edited.
Good luck with the distribution. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
You are most welcome.
Can you share a short, rough synopsis with us? For me, a totally uninformed viewer, I had many questions, but maybe those are all answered in the film.
Again, good luck,
Thank you for your interest! I've sung in gospel quartets most of my life. I sang with a professional gospel group called "Robert Blair and the Fantastic Violinaires" for over ten years (this group originated in the fifitys, on the Chess label. Wilson Picket was once a member of this group). This screenplay I wrote is a fictional brainchild based on my experiences traveling on the road with them, and before ... good, bad and ugly.
The group I co-founded, Lil Blair and the Violinaires, we formed when the lead singer of over 40 years died and most of the older guys stopped singing for a while. Here are a couple clips of the group singing:
"Tell Me How Long"
"Where He Leads Me I Will Follow"
Here is the short synopsis that is likely to go with a teaser trailer:
It seems the devil blocks gospel quartet lead singer Robert Chestnut's efforts at every turn. As BAD as it seems, as UGLY as it can get, the group still does plenty of GOOD that a ministry should. Giving hope to the homeless, the needy, the spiritually hungry ... even saving young runaways and enslaved women from a life of exploitation, follow The Faithful Tones on their journey of discovery and redemption.
If you care to read it, the longer script synopsis shold answer many questions of what the story is about.
Robert Chestnut, the lead singer of a quartet gospel group, must get his group signed to a major record label while navigating setbacks, flaws in his and key members' characters as well as their personal lives … and deal with a personal tragedy.
Robert possesses a tremendous capacity for finding ways to help others. Attempting to repair a faltering marriage with his estranged wife, while overcoming his weakness for advances by other women, he helps other group members navigate trials in their own lives. The guitar player struggles with a drug problem and an abusive relationship with baby-momma. His younger brother is unsavory and underhanded. To make matters worse, the co-founder/manager of the group leaves during critical record label negotiations to explore the world of R&B music.
The group does many positive things besides inspiring others with song. They feed the hungry, take on just causes that improve society, teach kids to gain an education and set goals for their lives. Yet, as human beings, they each have their own shortcomings to conquer.
In this movie, filled with joy, despair, ups and downs, drama, action, intrigue, and a peek into the world of modern-day slavery and exploitation, a social issue the group confronts head-on, we get to see a story based on the real world of what people, even in the world of gospel music can go through … the good, the bad and the ugly.
Check your mail. I sent you a private message.
Wow, sounds like a great story, and one that would be well worth telling. There have been many films dealing with other genres of music, from classical, to rock, to funk, to reggae, to R&B to country, to folk to rap, but do not recall many (any?) on gospel, and especially with that type of music, there is also the "salvation" aspect - while uplifting, it can also be a weight upon one's shoulders. Many of the other music genres have been covered to the point that there has also even been parody of some.
Just like Mr. Chestnut's struggle, I hope that your distribution goes well.
Good luck, and thanks for sharing.
I love the look of the footage you shot, and the acting " talent "... lighting is nice too...technically looks great.
I would maybe scrap the idea of " good bad and ugly " and come at this from a different point of view... one that more closely matches your content. ( what that is exactly I dont know yet ).
The trailer could be like 30 seconds ...way shorter. this has nothing to do with subject and sound and title... just a heads up.
in this sense, as you know, every nanosecond counts.. every frame... so thats one issue...shorter trailer more to the point.
The reference to the movie 'good bad ugly' was about characters in a film, each one with their own "music theme" the sergio used to identify the characters. You are not dealing with 3 different 'characters' ( one good, one bad, etc ). You are dealing with characters in situations that are good or bad or ugly.. in other words it is the drama that describes your good, bad, ugly, not the characters. You could say it is the situation ( drama ) that is changing and evolving for various characters which eventually can be described as " good" for person A or bad for person A. So in short, I would scrap the idea of the good bad ugly as a way to hook an audience into this film.
In a way, you are more advanced re: the drama and story then the movie 'the good bad ugly' by sergio. Yours is more like shakespeare's plays about human conditions and positions in situations and " how they deal with those challenges in life ". In other words, you are dealing with characters that may have the disposition of hamlet or macbeth or king henry etc etc.. but you are NOT dealing with something so simple as person A = good guy, person B = bad guy and person C = ugly guy.
So throw that trailer in the trash can, is my opinion. If I can help any way I'd be happy to, and your stuff looks beautiful.. really nice.. great camera work, lighting, acting, ...everything I see is top of the line stuff....so good luck and think more in terms of what your synopsis says... for the trailer etc.
some title that is short and catchy... but says it all.. I'm at a loss what that is ... maybe something like
Gospel Song
good luck !
watched trailer again.. and I take it back re: trailer length..make one shorter for tv promotion ( broadcast commercials ) and keep what you have too... its nice.
great looking stuff. Wish I had worked on it ! Call it Gospel Song or something ... talk to spike lee or someone about backing it up for distribution if youre not fixed up for that yet.... 40 acre and mule should be around ? I would bet my next beer that he would be willing to back up a real good drama for a change
write email to peter bavaro here
his email at end of article about film festivals lower left
say rod bauer recommended and ask about getting it done now... good luck
forget spike suggestion. that was dumb... go this way and see what happens
change title.. make it gospel song
thank me later by starting homeless shelter I can go to later in life
======== I wrote this ==

but that means NOT with the good bad ugly bit... it means with the changes already done...
I dont always think in a linear sorta way and speak well... i say, " make it shorter" but dont mean with the same premise you had ( good bad ugly )... im already thinking you made that change and make it shorter etc...one for promotion on tv 30 sec spot , another for promotion 60 sec spot, another for your delivery to markets.
time for another beer
Dont know if this matters much.. re: singing in general, in choirs etc... but you probably know this already....
In nyc there is a choir that sings Handel's Messiah at a famous church downtown near wall St....and it is a big deal... It happens once per year. It sounds beautiful. It is a big " night " to go there and listen .
Not everyone who sings in that choir is Christian. Is this weird ? I don't think so really. Some people who love to sing are singing for the sake of that love for singing. Some sing because they are just plain " good " at doing that.
Maybe they have perfect pitch and great ears ( like floppy eared beagles ? )... and great voices ( mezo sopranos come to mind ) ? I'm thinking of some arias I've heard... and one in particular an ex girlfriend used to do on stage for some Mozart thing... very beautiful to listen to ...
But she was into yoga and from Southern California and I need to say here that some of those people are just plain " weird " re their " spirituality ". It's almost as if everyone just sorta takes what " fits " their lives.. and they adapt to that as their " belief " ... usually not having to do with any earthly religion... most likely having to do with aliens and a mixture of believing that " every religion in the universe has some good points "... and they sorta pick and choose what works OK for the moment.
I'm sure the country ( USA ) has plenty of stuff re: drama and characters to offer any movie about religion, but the idea that " singing " gospel songs might deal with real life people and real drama in their lives ( choices etc ) is pretty new ( like Bill Hunt pointed out in earlier post ).. and I think I would like to see something done that focuses on loving our neighbors and helping each other ... and not being so distracted by " weirdness " all the time... But of course any movie about gospel songs will seem weird to some people no matter what. Whoopie did it with fun in Catholic setting... but it is nice to see your stuff and a more " people oriented " ( character oriented.. individuals ) approach.. that just feels more honest and loving than anything I've seen before. Good luck !
( burp, scuse me, its beer thirty )
Thanks, Chuck ... I responded and I REALLY appreciate your input!
able123, thank you SO much for your comments; it is gratifying it got your attention enough to give me your thoughts on the film.
To make sure everyone understands: this is a gritty film ... not just a "feel good" movie. It's probably going to offend SOME people's sensibilities because it gets real.
I've sung in this genre since I was a kid, and many of the folk who will watch it will understand completely what is going on. People came to "shows" even though they knew some of the guys from SOME of the groups were not squeaky-clean preacher-like. Some were womanizing, some drank, some had drug problems. I believe this is one reason quartet gospel suffered in the black community, because some of the groups did not take their ministry seriously ... it was about "sangin'", and touching people, but not always a true attempt to live a righteous life as example.
I wanted to tell that story. Robert was a womanizer ... it almost destroyed his marriage to a good woman. But, he has turned that around (even though the women won't stop coming). Rusty ... it's money, money, money to him. And when there is not enough of it, he gets depressed because he can't provide for his girls and their momma (no, they are not married).. And when he gets depressed, he drinks ... heavily.
A sub-plot in the movie is how Robert and his buddy that left the group for R&B, Russell (my character) , make it their business to rescue two women they come to know from exploitation and sex slavery.
This film will be the first of it's kind, I have no doubt. I hope it is different enough and a departure from the norm that most people laud it's boldness and innovativeness. But this movie may not be the one they show in the fellowship hall after church
Again, I truly appreciate you guys' input. It is still worth considering again, even though I have already thought through many of the points you guys raise about the name and content.

I have been playing with Rod's (Able 123 - long story... ) idea for a name change. I struggled a bit with the name, but then he made some good points. Just some ideas, off the top of my head, but remember - it's already Wine Thirty here:
Gospel Road
To God I Sing
Gospel - With My Heart and Soul
Gospel Train (really liked the angle that you shot the train from)
Gospel - A Man and His Music
God and Music Set Me Free
Gospel - Freedom at Last
One Man and His Music - Redemption
Those were my first thoughts, and feel fee to use any part, or any one. Just find that distributor.
Two other possible sources for support, but I do not have their e-mail addresses, like Rod does:
Jamie Foxx - I immediately think of his rendition of Ray Charles, who also did a wealth of gospel
Will Smith - While I think of him as The Champ, he has been a good backer for many startup projects
Again, just thinking here.
Good luck,
Haven't seen anything about scary snakes lately...
How about.....
Hm-m, maybe so long as there is not confusion between The Serpent and the Rainbow...
this oughta teach him to expect a wide range of responses in the lounge !
10 seconds... approx. THE BOOK, THE SNAKE, THE SONG
Its almost beer thirty ! GO JETS GO GIANTS !
edit... by the way, my first response was thinking of spike lee for help with hooking up with distributer etc.. but then I realized.. " this isnt some kinda " black" thing... african american, etc ....this is a movie , so thats when I figured friend Bavaro could help with getting the output ( exports, etc ) up to snuff for festival submissions...go from there ( can even reshoot some things - or shoot new things - when more money gets involved , if wanted )
Anyway, I have to sorta apologize for that intitial " pidgeon holing " thing in my head. Was dumb. Is sorta normal though too... as obviously there's sometimes more help and so on available within certain circles.. oh well, here's to good movies, may they thrive ! ( toasting with 1st of several beers )
I agree with you, regarding any ethnicity. I chose Foxx, primarily for his work on the Ray project, and music, that is heavily steeped in gospel roots. Now, maybe he would feel, "been there, done that," but maybe not.
Will Smith has been branching out with both direction and production, and has dabbled heavily in documentary, and semi-documentary work. He also has a strong background in music, though do not know if there is any gospel in there?
I know less of Lee, though am somewhat familiar with some of his films.
Though many immediately associate gospel with "Black music," I will never forget the year that Joe Cocker (I'm a great fan), was nominated for the Gospel Music award for Best Album. Though I grew up in the Deep South, with the era, and location, we seldom differentiated on the color of a performer's skin - it was about the music. Most of the local, or semi-local performers, like Irma Thomas, The Isley Brothers, Ernie K-Do, etc., had their beginnings in gospel choirs, and it showed in their later music. Similar could be said (maybe less gospel influence) for many of the Dixieland Jazz bands, or both that earlier time, and even now. No one ever cared if the guy on trombone was Black, or white - it was only about the music. Take Irma Thomas' Ruler of My Heart. It could be refering to Jesus (though most assume that she' lamenting the loss of her "man"), and be sung in a church today.That song still haunts me today. Yeah, though the Deep South had its issues, back in the days of my youth, we were fortunately insulated from many of them, and often the music was the common, bonding thread.
Just thinking here.
PS - Go Jets (my newly adopted third team)!
well, I hope I see it on screen someday, though I still dont like the title. The gospel isnt good bad and ugly.. people are I guess.. but again, this is drama ( which has its own background re: tragedy and comedy in the classic sense ( not meaning funny and sad ).....and its referring to a movie too.. which kinda bothers me. So there... I said it.
I'd like to watch the whole thing. what I saw was done well.
go Jets !
Funny you mention the Isley Brothers. I LOVE the Isley Brothers and was influenced by their music.
I had a little fun throwing together some original songs in hte form of music videos:
No Good Lover
I Love You That Much:
I'd like to watch the whole thing. what I saw was done well.
Thanks ... I would LOVE to see it introduced to the world in a big way.
I'll revisit the movie title with my director and the one investor that has contributed to the cost of filming the movie.
As an aside ... I don't have a clue how to make contact with Jamie Foxx or Will Smith.I wish I did.
Thank you for those links.
I like you way that you shoot and cut. No gimmicks - just tight and straight. Well-done!
As for the Isley Bros., we were blessed down in New Orleans. We had some great performers there, and they attracted many more, that the city just sort of adopted, like Sam Cooke, Otis Redding and others. They were not FROM New Orleans, but played many of the venues, with the local folk, that they were like our "step-children," doing well. Locally, we DID have our "own," and supported them well.
Maybe we were being ego-centric, or just did not know better, but we dubbed their music, though it was really across the specturm, as "New Orleans Music," though elsewhere, "R&B," and later "Soul" was applied to the sound. We got the original artists too, where much of that music was covered by white stars, usually signed to some big record label. It was not until much later, that I found names, such at Pat Boone, assigned to various songs, and listed first on Billboard charts, etc. Heck, I had never heard ANY of these performers do those songs, but I suppose that most of the country did, and those versions were all they knew. While some of the cover versions were pretty good, few could compare with the feelings evoked, the soul, and the textures, that the original artists have provided, no matter how talented they, or their producers, were - the sounds were too homogenized - they had been turned into pop-kool aid. I felt sorry for people in much of the rest of the country, having only those cover songs to relate to. We had the originals. It wasn't until I attended school in Philadelphia, and began discussing music with others (who lived away from New Orleans), that I came to realize that we had lived in our own little world, but what a great one it was.
Back then, there was really only one open venue (outside of the jazz clubs, from places like Preservation Hall to the Club 77 on Claiborne Street), and that was the Union Hall on Soniat and Tchoupitoulas Streets. I'd drive over from the Gulf Coast most weekends, to attend. There, we were treated to the likes of Clarence Frogman Henry, Irma Thomas, The Isley Bros., Clarence Gatemouth Brown, Sam Cooke, Johnny White, Otis Redding, Neville Bros (much, much younger then), and so very many others.
It was not until much later, that The Warehouse opened, and it was a venue featuring mostly rock performers, though some of the "locals," or "regulars" from The Union Hall, did make appearances - the New Orleans music scene was changing.
Now, live performance venues have sprung up everywhere. There are festivals, dedicated almost exclusively to New Orleans Music, from Dixieland Jazz to the Blues to that "soul sound," that we called "New Orleans Music," so long ago. Still, I will always reflect on the glory days of The Union Hall, and the performers that we got to see and hear in person, in a rather intimate venue (though with poor acoustics ).
Nah, I was one lucky guy, and would not give that up for anything.
I wish you all the luck in the world, as I too, would love to see your film.
Wish that I had Jamie Foxx's cell number, or even had met him, as I'd give him a call on your behalf.
Let us know how it goes,and thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Bill! Very interesting information and history you shared!
Sorry that I managed to get so far Off Topic there, but in my feeble mind, there were some parallels with Gospel, which was a major contributor to many of those performers - hey, it prompted you to offer those two links, and I got to appreciate them, so all was not lost.
Have not spent much time in theaters lately, but I'd certainly pack up the wife, and head out to see your film. I'll bet that others would feel the same way too.
Best of luck,
As an aside ... I don't have a clue how to make contact with Jamie Foxx or Will Smith.I wish I did.

jamie foxx booking ( gersh ).. will give you agents name..
write letter addressed to who you want to speak with ( smith, foxx ) and use agent address ( in care of )
jamie foxx
c/o agent XYZ
123 Blvd
they screen and forward if they deem it worthy of talent's attention... otherwise you need to know a friend etc.
Wow, Bill that is high priase my bruthuh
Thanks for the contact information. I will send them a promotional DVD.
youre welcome. I guess you already have all the releases signed etc from talent ?? all ducks in row ??
Besides releases (talent, location, Synchronization Licenses, Master Use Licenses), what other ducks in a row can you tink of I should doublecheck?
I had to copyright and put into my Publishing one of the guy's songs. I have Royalties for songs spelled out in those licenses.
how about brands and logos etc ??? products, that sort of thing ?
I recall working on some movie and the camera operator framing the shot purposefully in a way to avoid some drug store chain " sign" at night... like Rite-Aid or something...
then there's the labels on stuff people are drinking and all that .. so many dumb things to deal with..
people dont generally realize all the effort that goes into NOT shooting stuff that is copyrighted etc.
Usually on streets (with public walking around like in times square ) the locations dept posts signs that says " anyone walking around here may be photographed and it's understood that your permission is granted if you decide to be walking around here " ... hehe.. all sorts of effort to cover everything.
sounds like you have it all worked out.
good going.
probably your biggest challenge next might just be delivery in format(s) necessary to distributer(s).
I think I would read that blog about festivals by Bavaro at sixteen19.com and talk to him about submitting your film to Cannes, Sundance and Tribecca festivals...
Most festivals wont take work that has been distributed before.. they like new stuff.
another thing ( believe it or not ) is mail order. Put ad in some magazine etc for film you are selling.... Make sure you say, " allow 7-10 days for delivery "... Now use the cleared check or money order or paypal or whatever from the customer to make the DVD or BlueRay and mail it. In other words... you use the money from customer ( already cleared in your bank etc ) to actually make the product and mail it. It is what they do generally in the mail order
Im not sure but I think the festival would still allow submission from something that sold mail order and was not distributed otherwise, ask Pete Bavaro at sixteen19...
you really need to talk to some pro people about this stuff... lol....he wont charge for talking to you.. dont be scared...
why not also make ( get someone good to make it ) poster ( point of sale ) ... meantime...
Will probably change with getting distributer but who knows..maybe not if its good enough...
like this stuff ( I left out my favorite motif ( scary snakes ) but that can be added no problem ! )
real sample
my idea below ( group singing ( real good quality still image ) )... inserts from film screenshots below...some nice design, good color, composition, font choices and all that groovy stuff print ad art directors know real well....
movies posters are like the good ol 331/3 album covers... they sell product and usually look fantastic !
Cool stuff! Great ideas! My Director and I were just talking about Poster and DVD concepts.
I did something for a website, but it's too "busy" for a poster or DVD. The tagline I came up with is "If you could change the world with music ... what would you sing"
I haven't created content for the website, yet. But, I needed to put something up.
yeah.. is a bit busy...font for title hard to read..(and color on color hard to read too ...guttenberg said ( in 1500's ? ) the easiest to read is black letters on white... is still true )...
although I kinda like idea of group singing being represented ( and maybe train insert to show travel aspect ) to get across idea of it being a little about singing ( like you did )...I also really really like the montage you did...really nice. Great job drawing paths and making selections and great choices of images.. says a lot emotionally ( expressive ).
Well, good luck and let us know how things progress !
dont know if it will matter but if you print this stuff yourself...you dont have to do a full bleed with images...can make a little smaller ( images ) and maybe have plain white or black at top ( with black or white title of film at top )...white is cheaper cause its the paper stock color ( ink cost and if you go to offset press commercially same thing matters cost wise )
I used to use quark xpress to do page design..which is way different than photoshop ....cause its not one giant " image" ....way nicer to work with too.
However, that is a pro tool (program) for offset press work mostly and is primarily for color separations for printing plates, and uses postscript...this stuff changes fast now with computer revolution...now you can make plates direct and bypass the separation..
I digress....
time for more coffee.... good luck
happy thanksgiving ! hope its been great !
give this guy a dvd sample or call or email or whatever... see what happens.
george cochran...very smart and extremely talented man..
ps.. he just had a quadruple bypass so give him a couple days to respond...he's resting
sorta.. i doubt he knows how to really " rest "...
Wanna see some cast interviews with a few snippets from the film?

CARNEGIE, Pa., Feb. 17, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- It can be easy to forget that homelessness is a daily reality for many people. As we are preparing for our own family dinners, many others are choosing between buying food and shivering in the cold. Too often, when we see a homeless person on the streets, we want to look the other way. The unfortunate truth is that there are many more families with no housing, who remain unseen.

To shine a light on the dark reality of homelessness, The Salvation Army, in conjunction with popular Pittsburgh radio station 100.7 Star have launched an innovative campaign called "Man in a Box." The station's evening drive-time host, Flick, will live outside in downtown Pittsburgh at Highwoods Properties' PPG Place from Feb. 25-27, experiencing the hardships of living homeless first hand. He will have minimal shelter and heat, and only the same food provided to the homeless by The Salvation Army Emergency Disaster Services program.
"Man in a Box" will provide awareness and support The Salvation Army's Red Shield Campaign, benefitting their Emergency Disaster Services program, Family Caring Center and Comprehensive Social Services, all of which play a role in assisting the homeless. Funds will be raised through corporate donations, on-site kettle collections, and encouraging the public to donate online through starpittsburgh.com, salvationarmy-wpa.org, or via Text to Give by texting: GIVEPGH to 80888. Texters will receive a confirmation text message in reply.
"The issue of homelessness is serious and deserves our attention and compassion," said Flick, host of the "Flick and Kelly" program broadcast weekdays from 2:00-7:00PM on 100.7 Star. "My hope is that through my living and broadcasting on the street, the public will become better aware and support the efforts of The Salvation Army."
Local area businesses also supporting "Man in a Box" include, GetGo, Field and Stream, Mister Water Heater, Moe's Southwest Grill, United HealthCare, Lighthouse Electric, and Downtown Interiors. Please contact Donna Fencik at The Salvation Army at 412.446.1644 for more information or to get involved.
