Music Fundraising
There are many groups involved with music that look for Music Fundraising ideas. That's why we created this section. You will find a wonderful selection of music fundraising programs that can help you raise the money you need.
Holding a Music fundraiser is critical to the existence of many school Music programs. Unfortunately programs like the music department are some of the first to loose their funding. We want to help by offering you some options you might use to come up with the best Music fundraising idea for your group.
A school Music fund raiser helps raise the money to purchase new sheet music, uniforms, instruments and many of the other expenses that school budgets no longer take care of. But students and parents are making sure the music department is there by holding fundraisers and covering their unfunded needs. Above you'll find some suggestions for possible music fundraisers.
Many Music fundraisers are large so you will find our suggestions geared more toward larger groups. We do have Music fundraising ideas for small groups but will concentrate on those that medium to large groups can take advantage of.
Music Fundraising to consider:
Flower Bulb Fundraising

Summer-Flowering evergreen vine
dsingJune 11, 2012
I want to put a tall trellis against a short fence as a privacy fence. I would like it to be evergreen and it would be great if it had a long blooming season.
I live in central Houston.
surfbreeze(9 TX)
Butterfly Vine (Mascagnia macroptera) is always in bloom for me in the heat of the summer with its bright yellow flowers and eventually has brownish butterfly shaped seed pods ...thus, the name. I have had this plant for many, many years, cascading over the rail of my 2-story porch rail. It takes little water and is extremly drought-hardy. If it does freeze, which is not always in our sometimes mild winters, it will come back quickly. I am on the gulf coast about an hour south from Houston.

Solar Tubes
We are ready to install a solar tube in our kitchen and suddenly I am hearing bad things about about the colour of the light that they produce. Apparently it is very blue and muddies up all other colours in the room. I understand that warm light filers are available. Anyone care to comment?
Thanks for your time.
PS We are looking at the Velux and ODL brands.
We installed a solar tube in the kitchen when we remodeled the old house. It was wonderful! Everyone who walked in thought we had a light on. It wasn't the least bit blue or muddied in my opinion. As a matter of fact, we liked it so much we had one installed in the new build. We are in the process of finishing up and moving in and we love the new one even more than the old one. This one has a straighter shot from rooftop to ceiling - the old one twisted through the attic. The light is lovely, bright and has a soft glow. Couldn't be happier. I believe we have the Velux.
We currently have 3 solatubes in our house - soon to be 6 (adding three to the remodeled kitchen/nook area)
I guess you could say that AT TIMES the bright light has a tiny bit of a blue hue, but I think it is really more of a very white light which looks 'cooler' than most light in interior spaces.
Solatube has come out with a yellow filter on the lense (the part that you see in the ceiling) that changes the light to a color more like incandescent light. If you are worried about too white of a light, go with this option for the lense.
Solatube also has filters that soften the edge of the light.
Our current three solatubes are plain lenses - no filtering for color or softening the edges. The first picture below is of a 16" solatube in our upstairs hallway - tube is on northside of peak of roof. I took several photos to get the color as accurate as possible. If anything, the light from the solatube was just a touch more yellow than shown. It was a sunny day today in Western Washington (state), so the light was very bright. It is still pretty bright on cloudy days as well. On clear nights with a full moon, the lense has a very soft and subdued moon glow.
The bottom picture is of a smaller (10") solatube in the kids' bathroom - on the north side of the house, with one teeny window. In other words, without the solatube or other light, that room is a cave. You can kind of get an idea how dark it would be by referring to the top picture - look at the dark shadows on the door of the bedroom (with the 'Y' on the door) to the left of the hallway solatube - that room also faces north, has a giant window, but a solatube brings in tons more light.
a href="http://s768.photobucket.com/albums/xx327/LindaC443/?action=view¤t=KitchenWindows009.jpg" target="_blank">
We ARE going to use the yellow/incandescent lense filter for the three new solatubes - the kitchen/nook area faces north - and the roof for these solatubes is shaded by the 2nd story, and I'll have SS appliances in the kitchen (could be cold looking), so I figured I'd give the yellow filtered lense a try. If it is ugly, or cuts down on the light too much, we'll switch to the plain lenses.
One other plus about tubular skylights - they let in a LOT Of light without the associated heat. We have one conventional skylight (in a bathroom) and on hot days that room gets pretty toasty.

In his letter to a lawyer for Answers in Genesis, Tourism Cabinet Secretary Bob Stewart wrote "it is readily apparent that the project has evolved from a tourist attraction to an extension of AIG's ministry that will no longer permit the commonwealth to grant the project tourism development incentives."

Meatless Monday: Brie and walnut topped portobello mushrooms(Read article summary)
Quick to make and packed with good nutrients, these portobello mushrooms make a delicious appetizer or the centerpiece for a meatless dish when served alongside a salad and quinoa.
Beyond The Peel
When the hubby is away the wife will play!
In my house that means making all kinds of yummy food that wouldn't really go over well, like popcorn for dinner. It's not quite substantial enough for him. Go figure. Brie, sourdough, and olives with a green salad ... not really his favorite. He thinks that's more of a snack and he'll pass on olives all together! That being said, he has come a long way. I have converted him to liking almost every food, but most things still have to be in moderation.
Enter portobello mushrooms. I love them! But if I were serve to serve them to my husband as the centerpiece of a meal, I would be met with a very sad face.
So, while I have the kitchen to myself, I plan to get my fill of portobellos, eggplants, olives (I bought 3 containers!) and stinky blue cheese.
This dish – portobello mushrooms topped with brie and crunchy walnuts – is the first of those glorious meals. From start to finish it takes less than 20 minutes and it's packed with tons of nutrients and big flavor. It's also loaded with healthy fats and 15 grams of protein. I had mine with lemony spinach. They can be served alone as a sophisticated appetizers, or with greens and quinoa for something more substantial.
And don't skip the tomato balsamic emulsion. It's delicious.
As for the mushrooms, I've tried it with 2 types of cheese and I encourage you to use whatever cheese you like best, but stick to one with big flavor. I recommend Gorgonzola, but a stinky brie was an excellent choice, too. Goat cheese is pretty common and I believe it would work well here, but try and use a cheese that gets melty, gooey and has lots of flavor.

DEFINITION of 'Batch Header Record'
A standard record of information regarding the transfer of a group of data (a batch), usually within the banking field. The batch header record contains information that is crucial for the successful processing of the batch. It identifies the origin of the transaction and summarizes the debits and/or credits involved. When combined with the entry detail records, the batch header record fully describes the transaction.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Batch Header Record'
In banking, the batch header record is used in the automated clearing house (ACH), which is a batch-oriented electronic funds transfer system. To begin, the transaction is given a file header record to identify the origin and characteristics of the file. This is followed by a number of batches, each with its own batch header record.
Although the batch header record is predominantly used in banking transactions, it is also used in other important transfers, such as between businesses, departments and hospitals.

West Virginia Steel Buildings
Steel Buildings are a Practical Choice
West Virginia is a state with a variety of geographical features and an independent population. When looking for your next small business building, storage building or agricultural building, the choice to use a metal building over wood or bricks makes a lot of sense. Built to last, metal buildings offer a durable design, flexibility in purpose, and are extremely cost effective, both to build as well as to own.
Since steel buildings are prefabricated, coming in complete building kits, the time for the initial order to completion is greatly reduced compared to other building options available. The metal roof of your building can be customized to meet all of your load requirements as well as meet local building codes requested as well. For those looking for a used building, don't forget to visit our used building classifieds in West Virginia.
Many Uses for Durable Metal Buildings in West Virginia
Although steel buildings are ideal for small business and mini-storage, there are many more types of structures that lend well to being constructed from high quality steel. Other types of buildings that are well suited to steel construction are:

Which advertisement sounds cooler?

"Using a high-tech laser systems designed by a team of professors, we blast your macular degeneration away -- in just minutes!"
Lasers make anything cooler.
No it isn't. I'm 57 and have more fun than I ever did before.
Of course, I'm not married any more, that has a lot to do with it.
It is masked but always present. I don't know who built to it. It came before the first kernel.

My 'no grass' front garden, many photos!
Perhaps some of you might remember this disgusting photo I posted jokingly, but with a very red face, on a thread about coordinating your front yard with those of your neighbors? There were some humorous responses to my photo (LOL Irma!!:)) Back in June some of you kindly offered me tips on visiting my first plant sale (USF). No-one warned me not to go crazy! ......I did!
So I have spent the hottest and most humid months of this year planting my full sun front yard! When you all talked about sensibly staying inside your cooled homes I was too embarrassed to tell you what I was doing! My neighbors waved sadly at this madwoman as they drove by, probably stifling their laughter until they were out of sight! There was little need to water my plants, my sweat watered them as I planted!
Don't you love a happy ending? My front GARDEN, although still only a few weeks old, is a hive of activity every single day! The bees arrive first each morning and leave last in the evening, well apart from those that slumber overnight atop the Indian Blanket or Cone Flowers. Then wave after wave of butterflies arrive and the first Hummer ever to visit my yard! It is incredible how many numbers and species of butterflies are in my small garden at one time! I am so thrilled I am choked! I even find my DH standing at the sitting room window watching all the activity in the garden!
Here are some of the 'frequent fliers'!
Giant Swallowtail
Eastern Black Swallowtail
Palamedes Swallowtail
And the neighbors....well, many stop by to say how they love the garden, strangers drive by slowly, or even stop, to watch the butterflies, and my next door neighbor (vistas of red cypress mulch and 3 plant varieties only on her entire property) tells me daily how much she loves my garden!! A few days ago she came to tell me excitedly that she had just seen "the coolest ever butterfly, it looked just like a zebra!" She now wants a plant list!!
Zebra Longwing
Another neighbor (mostly lawn, paving, and high maintenance containers) brings her little daughter to see the butterflies and the dozens of caterpillars! She was thrilled that a butterfly had landed right on her arm! My neighbor was astounded when she asked about maintenance that, unlike her, I rarely have to water and use no pesticides!
Gulf Fritillary - one of the most frequent visitors!
Skipper, masses of these every day.
Zebra Swallowtail
White Peacock
Pipevine Swallowtail
Spicebush Swallowtail
Sorry that this was long, I just wanted to share with you. I have learned so much from you all. (Special thanks to Marcia for posting a very useful plant list and for snake and frog id's.) This couldn't have been achieved without you all! Our little garden is giving me and many, many others so much joy! Thank you!!!!!!
Well if this isn't the most inspirational post for making a no-grass garden then kiss my grass goodbye!
Just what I needed to see instead of viewing my grub-destroyed lawn and wondering where to go from here.
Could I beg for a picture of the overall front yard to provide some guidance for design? Do you have walkways or is it mulched completely?
Thanks for the bright spot. EVERYTHING is gorgeous.
What a wonderfull garden! I also would like to see a full picture of your front yard. You get such a wide variety of butterflies in your garden. It would be great not to have to worry about a lawn anymore but with a 3/4 acre lot that has few large trees and none of them in the front I wouldn't be able to mantain that big of a garden.
Oh, MY! Sis3, you have done a MARVELOUS job!!! Thank goodness you didn't keel over from heatstroke, but now that fall is almost here, you'll really be able to enjoy all your hard work. The effort has paid off.
And just think...you are now an inspiration to your neighbors. Some of them might actually be jarred enough to think "out of the LAWN box" for a bit. Or even if they just jazz up their beds and foundation plantings with more color and butterfly attractors, it will be a wonderful thing.
I'm so glad that ANYTHING I might have posted has helped you. And I know you have learned (as have I) from everyone on this forum. It's just the BEST place for Florida-specific info ANYWHERE.
I join the chorus for pictures of your overall plan. I'm always trying to think how I want to layout beds and stuff. Can you take a few of the entire garden from different angles, so we can see the shape of your beds and borders?
Thanks so much for posting this. It did my heart good! And the number of butterflies you have is astounding. (Must be some pawpaws in the neighboring woods for you to have zebra swallowtails. They are fast disappearing!)
Oh wow!!! Thank you all so much for your kind words! I was feeling quite pleased with my efforts but now I am feeling humbled! So many of you have beautiful gardens, some of them huge, and amazing plants. My garden is so small and so new, and I am just a newbie (I began gardening in Florida just over a year ago, with a tropical courtyard!).
Tomorrow I will post more photos of the layout of the garden, some responses to your specific questions and comments, and a plant list. I do hope you are not disappointed, as my front garden is only 25' x 32'!
Beautiful! And if you love it now, just wait until the plants reach full size! It will be stunning. Very nice work. It looks like it was worth being out there in the summer. I have had that same thought about watering my plants with the sweat of my brow many times.
To answer some specific comments, it is going to be a pleasure to maintain this small garden but I can see that karalynn's 3/4 of an acre would be a much more daunting proposition, and as for goldenpond's 2 1/2 acres....well, I perspire at the thought of all that work!!! However I do wish there was more land here to garden, this is a waterfront lot, only 50' wide.
Shellfreak I will check out 'Monarch Watch'. I have never visited the butterfly forum, so I will lurk on there to see whether I can contribute. Thank you.
marciapa my plant list is below, I hope it helps you as Marcia's (manature) list helped me. I can heartily recommend a grassless front yard. It will be interesting to follow your progress if you decide to undertake it.
Thank you for your encouragement thonotorose. It is sometimes daunting for a newbie like me to post when there is such knowledge and experience here. I usually assume I am going to bore, rather than inspire, but now you have inspired me to continue to post.
Here is my original plan. Sorry, I couldn't rotate it. The beds are colored green and the blue areas are mulched access paths.
The plan for the front yard was very simple. We built a curving flagstone path to the front entry and flanked it with a narrow bed raised by a dry stack stone wall. This continues around the flagstone terrace directly in front of the sitting room window. At the lower level there are mulched beds bordered by a mulched access path. There has to be access to the underground propane tank and the water meter. There is a circular area of mulch around the gas tank lid where there will be a something attractive to disguise the tank lid, and a few more containers.
This photo was taken from the second floor window. The terrace and a flower bed are out of sight below.
Hopefully the plants will eventually fill out to cover most of the mulch and will spill out on to the access paths. At the moment there is rather a lot of mulch showing (but not nearly as much as there was when the garden was first planted! :)
Towards the street from the entry
To the street from the terrace
To the street from the side yard
Here is the plant list:
Lantana, Bush Daisy, Diamond Frost, Coneflower, Indian Blanket, Brazilian Red Hots, Shrimp Plant, Blue Daze, Buddleia, Milkweed, Cassia, Mexican Heather, Mexican Petunia (Purple Showers - sterile) Penta, Maple Leaf Hibiscus, Globe Amaranthus, Purple Top Verbena, Firebush, Plumbago, Firespike, Firecracker, Kaffir Lime, Meyer Lemon, Black Eyed Susan, Dwarf Powder Puff, Tea Olive, Coral Honeysuckle, Dill, White Almond Bush, Purslane, Dutchman's Pipevine, Gardenia, Thryallis, Porterweed (red and blue), Fountain Grass, Crape Myrtle, Jatropha, Flax Lily, Duranta, Vinca.
It's a long list for such a small garden but it may explain the wonderful variety of creatures that visit daily!
Marcia, I have been reading about the wild Paw Paw (what a great plant!) and I wonder if there may be some in the conservation area directly across the street from my garden (visible in some of the photos). It looks like a rain forest in there, I have been dying to explore it for years, now I am definitely going to do so, if only to seek the Paw Paws. From the street I can see many butterflies floating around in there, mostly Swallowtails and Sulphurs!
When I went to take these photos this morning there were 4 Swallowtails, a Gulf Frit, several Sulphurs, a Zebra Longwing, and many Skippers and bees already at work! In my tiny garden! My heart sang!
Thanks for the extra photos, they really help with ideas for my yard.
I really like the different levels which create distinct areas and the dry laid stone wall is gorgeous.
This is really one of the nicest "natural" non-grass front yards I've seen.
There is a community near me, in Osprey, south of Sarasota, that has been landscaped with minimum grass and someday I'll have an extra 10 minutes to drive through but from the photos I've seen of theirs your yard is head and shoulders above.
Just stunning. And what luck to have a conservation area across the street. I bet it has some of the important host plants for your wildlife that you wouldn't necessarily want in your yard. I know that some of my "weeds" feed critters. It's my excuse for not remulching until the weeds are pretty awful. But it sure would be nice for a conservation area to plant itself across the street for the weeds the critters want.
Me too! Me TOOOO!! *waving hand in the air, jumping up and down and yelling enthusiastically!*
Sis, you have done a FIRST RATE job there! I, too, love the changes in elevation with the addition of the stone wall. And your hardscaping in general looks great! Love the flagstone path.
But most of all, I love the HUGE variety of plants you have managed to include in your garden. At maturity, your yard is going to be a veritable wonder!! And you will be enjoying all the critters it attracts for a long time to come.
Thank you so much for sharing the photos so we can really see just how you've done it. Even those with larger yards can adapt your ideas to their own spaces. Or can create a smaller garden "room" within the larger whole.
See...you really ARE inspiring us! Nice work...give yourself a big pat on the back!!
I tore out my grass 4 years ago and don't miss it a bit. I dug it up with a shovel and a rake. It was a lot of work and I would not recommend doing that.
The best suggestion I have read on numerous sites is to mow the grass to the lowest setting. Then cover the grass with newspapers (multiple layers), then cover that with mulch (please consider something besides Cypress).
The papers and mulch will starve the grass of light. The newspaper and grass will rot over time. When you want to plant, you move the mulch aside and dig straight through the paper.
And you don't have to do it all at once. Take out 10 feet of grass a year. Then you can experiment and figure out what you can grow and what you like.
Sorry Sis, you can no longer call yourself a newbie, not with the wonderful garden you created and now people asking you advice. Beautiful job. Apparently your garden is salt tolerant. Working in the heat of this summer you did indeed water it with your sweat. Thanks so much for sharing. You are an inspiration to all of us who look out the window and don't like what we see. Aren't you glad you did those 'before' pictures now?
Thank you for posting all the extra pictures! Your garden is amazing. You must have a hard time not stopping to admire it every time you go in and out your front door or walk past the windows. All of your hard work certainatly paid off.
imagardener the Osprey community sounds very interesting, it would be great if you just happened to have your camera with you when you drive through. Do you think the residents would mind?
sharbear we did not have a lot of grass to remove, but a concrete drive and parking area and a lot of neglected and overgrown shrubs with horrible roots, and weeds. Here is a photo of the front entry before we began remodeling/rebuilding the house and garden.
The worst problem was that after I had bought loads of plants from the USF sale we discovered that there was a layer of hard pan from the old drive about 12 to 15 inches below the dirt covering the entire garden area. In addition the dirt was almost pure sand and very infertile. So in the middle of June we had to remove all the dirt, then the layer of concrete, then replace and amend it. This had to be done very quickly as the new plants were in their little pots waiting to be planted. There is no shade, it was so hot we could work only from about 7am to 11am at best each day and even then it was exhausting!!
This is a similar view now.
Just a quick critter update. It has been a few days now since we last saw our little hummer. I hope it hasn't left for the season.
Yesterday as DH was watching his first Zebra Swallowtail a Polydamas Swallowtail swooped in! The photo is a bit blurry, they flutter so! I think that makes 14 species of large butterflies visiting a garden the size of our family room! Amazing!
Thank you all so much! It is such a thrill to think that my little garden may have inspired some of you, you all have certainly ENCOURAGED me! There's no stopping me now!

Matthew Paige "Matt" Damon (/ˈdeɪmən/; born October 8, 1970)[2] is an American actor, voice actor, screenwriter, producer, and philanthropist. His career was launched with the success of his and Ben Affleck's Academy Award-winning screenplay, Good Will Hunting (1997), for which he also received a number of Best Actor nominations. Growing steadily in popularity since then, he is now among Forbes magazine's most bankable stars[3] and one of the top-40 highest-grossing actors of all time.[4][nb 1] In addition to the many awards and nominations Damon has received, such as Academy, Golden Globe and other industry awards, for his work in the film industry—in 2007, Damon received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and was named the Sexiest Man Alive by People magazine.
Damon has become known for his versatility,[6] starring in commercially and critically successful films such as the rogue secret agent Jason Bourne in the first three installments of the Bourne series, the youthful thief Linus Caldwell in the Ocean's Trilogy, the anti-hero in The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999), a fallen angel in Dogma (1999), a helpless private in Saving Private Ryan (1998), and a conjoined twin in Stuck on You (2003). He won further critical acclaim for his performances in dramas such as Syriana (2005) and The Good Shepherd (2006), as well as for his turn as a villain in the crime drama The Departed (2006). Among his critically and commercially unsuccessful films are the romance western All the Pretty Horses and the sports drama The Legend of Bagger Vance, both made in 2000, the adventure fantasy film The Brothers Grimm (2005) and the war thriller Green Zone (2010).
Damon has also performed voice-over work and established several production companies. Damon has been actively involved in charitable work, including the ONE Campaign, H2O Africa Foundation, Feeding America, and Water.org. With his wife, Luciana Bozán Barroso, Damon has three daughters and a stepdaughter from Barroso's prior marriage.
Damon was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the second son of Kent Telfer Damon (born 1942), a stockbroker, and Nancy Carlsson-Paige (born 1944), an early childhood education professor at Lesley University.[7][8] His father is of Scottish and English descent and his mother is of Finnish and Swedish ancestry (his mother's family surname had been changed from the Finnish "Pajari" to "Paige").[9][10][11] Damon and his family moved to Newton for two years. After his parents divorced, Damon and his brother returned with their mother to Cambridge,[8][12] where they lived in a six-family communal house.[13][14] His brother Kyle is now an accomplished sculptor and artist.[8][15]
As a lonely adolescent, Damon has said that he didn't feel that he belonged.[13] Due to his mother's "by the book"[13] approach to child-rearing, he had a hard time defining a self identity, and as a result gravitated to role-playing.[13] He attended Cambridge Alternative School (now Graham and Parks) and then Cambridge Rindge and Latin School, where he was a good student,[16] but had a "terrifying" first two years due to his short stature.[17] Damon performed as an actor in several high school theater productions.[8] He credited his drama teacher, Gerry Speca, as an important artistic influence, even though Ben Affleck,[16] his good friend and schoolmate,[18] got the "biggest roles and longest speeches".[16][nb 2] Damon is Affleck's tenth cousin, once removed, through a common New England ancestor.[20]
Damon also attended Harvard University where he was a member of the class of 1992 but left before receiving his degree in order to take a lead role in the film School Ties. While at Harvard he wrote an early treatment of the screenplay for Good Will Hunting as an exercise for an English class. Damon was a member of the Delphic Club, one of the University's select Final Clubs. In 2013 he was awarded the Harvard Arts Medal.[21] Damon received an Academy Award for the screenplay of Good Will Hunting in 1998 which was handed to him by fellow Harvard alumnus Jack Lemmon, who coincidentally had also been a member of Harvard's Delphic Club.[22]
Damon started attending Harvard University in 1988,[23][nb 3] where he appeared in student theater plays, such as Burn This in Winthrop House and A... My Name is Alice.[25][26] Damon made his acting debut in 1988 at the age of 18, with a single line of dialogue in the romantic comedy Mystic Pizza.[27] As a student at Harvard University, he acted in small roles such as in the TNT original film Rising Son and the ensemble prep-school drama School Ties.[28] He left the university in 1992, a semester - 12 credits - shy of completion of his Bachelor of Arts in English to feature in Geronimo: An American Legend[25][29] in Los Angeles, mistakenly expecting the movie to become a big success.[25][nb 4] Damon next appeared as an opiate-addicted soldier in 1996's Courage Under Fire, for which he lost 40 pounds (18 kg) in 100 days[27][31] on a self-prescribed diet and fitness regimen. He took medication for a year and a half afterwards to correct the stress inflicted on his adrenal gland and was told he was lucky his heart did not shrink. Courage Under Fire gained him critical notice, when The Washington Post labeled his performance "impressive".[32]
During the early 1990s, Damon and Affleck wrote Good Will Hunting (1997), a screenplay about a young math genius, an extension of a screenplay he wrote for an assignment at Harvard, having integrated advice from director Rob Reiner, screenwriter William Goldman, and writer/director Kevin Smith.[33] It received nine Academy Awards nominations, earning Damon and Affleck Oscars [34][35] and Golden Globes for Best Screenplay.[36] Damon was also nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor for the same film, which also netted an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for co-star Robin Williams.[34] He and Affleck were each paid salaries of $600,000, while the film grossed over $225 million at the worldwide box office.[37][38] The two later parodied their roles from the film in Kevin Smith's 2001 movie Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.[39]
Also in 1997, Damon was the lead in the critically acclaimed drama The Rainmaker, where he was recognized by the Los Angeles Times as "a talented young actor on the brink of stardom."[40] After meeting Damon on the set of Good Will Hunting, director Steven Spielberg cast Damon as the titular character in the 1998 World War II film Saving Private Ryan.[41] He portrayed Patricia Highsmith's anti-hero Tom Ripley in The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999),[27] in which "Damon outstandingly conveys his character's slide from innocent enthusiasm into cold calculation", according to Variety magazine.[42] He played a fallen angel who discusses pop culture as intellectual subject matter with Affleck in Dogma (1999).[43]
Damon's attempts at essaying leading characters in romantic dramas such as 2000's All the Pretty Horses and The Legend of Bagger Vance were commercially and critically unsuccessful.[37] Variety said of his work in All the Pretty Horses: "[Damon] just doesn't quite seem like a young man who's spent his life amidst the dust and dung of a Texas cattle ranch. Nor does he strike any sparks with [Penelope] Cruz."[44] He was similarly deemed "uncomfortable being the center" of Robert Redford's The Legend of Bagger Vance.[45]
From 2001 to 2007, Damon gained wider international recognition as part of two major film franchises. He co-starred as thief Linus Caldwell in Steven Soderbergh's 2001 film Ocean's Eleven, a remake of the Rat Pack's 1960 film Ocean's 11; the successful crime dramedy spawned two sequels, Ocean's Twelve (2004) and Ocean's Thirteen (2007).[27] He played amnesiac assassin Jason Bourne in the hit action thrillers The Bourne Identity (2002), The Bourne Supremacy (2004), and The Bourne Ultimatum (2007),[27] for which Entertainment Weekly named Damon among "the decade's best mixer of brawn and brains."[46]
Damon played a conjoined twin in Stuck on You (2003), which received a 60% Rotten Tomatoes score and mixed critical reception.[47] He played a fictionalized version of Wilhelm Grimm in Terry Gilliam's fantasy adventure The Brothers Grimm (2005), which was a critically panned commercial failure;[37] The Washington Post concluded, "Damon, constantly flashing his newscaster's teeth and flaunting a fake, 'Masterpiece Theatre' dialect, comes across like someone who got lost on the way to an audition for a high school production of The Pirates of Penzance."[48] Later that year, he appeared as an energy analyst in Syriana.[49]
In 2006, Damon joined Robert De Niro in The Good Shepherd as a career CIA officer, and played an undercover mobster working for the Massachusetts State Police in Martin Scorsese's The Departed, a remake of the Hong Kong police thriller Infernal Affairs.[27] Assessing his work in the two films, Manohla Dargis of The New York Times wrote that Damon has the unique "ability to recede into a film while also being fully present, a recessed intensity, that distinguishes how he holds the screen."[6] The Departed has a score of 92% on Rotten Tomatoes, and critical reception was very good.[50][nb 5] According to Forbes in August 2007, Damon was the most bankable star of the actors reviewed, his last three films at that time averaged US$29 at the box office for every dollar he earned.[3] Damon had an uncredited cameo in Francis Ford Coppola's Youth Without Youth (2007) and another cameo in the 2008 Che Guevara biopic Che.
He made a guest appearance in 2009 on the sixth season finale of Entourage as himself, where he tries to pressure Vincent Chase (Adrian Grenier) into donating to his real foundation ONEXONE.[51][52] His next role was Steven Soderbergh's dark comedy The Informant! (2009),[53] in which his Golden Globe-nominated work was described by Entertainment Weekly as such: "The star – who has quietly and steadily turned into a great Everyman actor – is in nimble control as he reveals his character's deep crazies."[54] Also in 2009, Damon portrayed South Africa national rugby union team captain François Pienaar in the Clint Eastwood-directed film Invictus, which is based on the 2008 John Carlin book Playing the Enemy: Nelson Mandela and the Game That Changed a Nation and features Morgan Freeman as Nelson Mandela.[55] Invictus earned Damon an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor. The New Republic observed that he brought "it off with low-key charm and integrity."[56]
In 2010, he reteamed with director Paul Greengrass, who directed him in the Bourne Supremacy and Bourne Ultimatum, for the action thriller Green Zone, which flopped commercially[57] and received a score of 53% on Rotten Tomatoes and ambivalent reception from critics.[58] He has appeared as a guest star in an episode of Arthur, titled "The Making of Arthur", as himself.[15] During Season 5 of 30 Rock, he appeared as guest star in the role of Liz Lemon's boyfriend in the episodes "I Do Do", "The Fabian Strategy", "Live Show", and "Double Edged Sword". Damon's 2010 projects included Clint Eastwood's Hereafter and the Coen brothers' remake of the 1969 John Wayne-starring Western True Grit.[59]
In 2011, he starred in The Adjustment Bureau, Contagion, and We Bought a Zoo. In April 2012, Damon filmed Promised Land, directed by Gus Van Sant, which he co-wrote with John Krasinski.[60][61][62] Damon's next film with frequent collaborator Steven Soderbergh was Behind the Candelabra, a drama about the life of pianist/entertainer Liberace (played by Michael Douglas) with Damon playing Liberace's longtime partner Scott Thorson. The film premiered on HBO on May 26, 2013.[63]
Damon starred in the science fiction film Elysium (2013), where he played former car-thief-turned-factory-worker Max DeCosta.[64] He also appeared in the science fiction movie The Zero Theorem by Terry Gilliam in 2013.[65] In 2014, he starred in George Clooney's The Monuments Men,[66] and played a small role in Christopher Nolan's Interstellar. He will star in Alexander Payne's upcoming film, Downsizing.[67]
Along with Affleck and producers Chris Moore and Sean Bailey, Damon founded the production company LivePlanet, through which the four created the Emmy nominated documentary series Project Greenlight to find and fund worthwhile film projects from novice filmmakers.[68][69] The company produced and founded the short-lived mystery-hybrid series Push, Nevada as well as other projects.[70] In March 2010, Damon and Affleck teamed up again to create Pearl Street Films, a Warner Bros. based production company.[71][72]
He lent his voice to the English version of the animated film Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea, which was released in the United States in August 2009.[73] The documentary which he narrated, American Teacher, opened in New York in 2011 prior to national screening.[74] He voiced a krill in Happy Feet Two[75]
In January 2012, it was announced that Damon had signed a multi-year deal to be the voice of TD Ameritrade advertisements, replacing Sam Waterston as the discount brokerage's spokesman. Damon donates all fees from the advertisements to charity.[76] In 2013, Damon appeared in a 20-second advertisement for Nespresso, directed by Grant Heslov, with whom he worked on The Monuments Men. The deal earned Damon $3 million.[77]
Damon was the founder of H2O Africa Foundation, the charitable arm of the Running the Sahara expedition,[78] which merged with WaterPartners to create Water.org in July 2009.[79] He, along with George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Don Cheadle, David Pressman, and Jerry Weintraub, is one of the founders of Not On Our Watch Project, an organization that focuses global attention and resources to stop and prevent mass atrocities such as in Darfur.[80] Damon supports the ONE Campaign, which is aimed at fighting AIDS and poverty in Third World countries. He has appeared in their print and television advertising.
Damon is also an ambassador for ONEXONE, a non-profit foundation committed to supporting, preserving and improving the lives of children at home in Canada, the United States, and around the world.[81] Damon is also a spokesperson for Feeding America, a hunger-relief organization, and a member of their Entertainment Council, participating in their Ad Council public service announcements.[82] Damon is a board member of Tonic Mailstopper (formerly GreenDimes), a company that attempts to halt junk mail delivered to American homes each day.[83][nb 6]
Comedian Jimmy Kimmel had a running gag at the end of his ABC television show Jimmy Kimmel Live! where he apologized for not being able to interview Damon. It culminated in a planned skit on September 12, 2006, when Damon stormed off after having his interview cut short.[85] Damon appeared in several of E! Entertainment's top ten Jimmy Kimmel Live! spoofs.[86][nb 7] On January 24, 2013, Damon took over his show and mentioned the long-standing feud and having been bumped from years of shows. It involved celebrities who were previously involved in on the "feud", including Robin Williams, Ben Affleck, and Sarah Silverman.[89]
Damon appeared on Hardball with Chris Matthews in December 2006 and, while discussing the ongoing war in Iraq, he expressed concern about inequities across socio-economic classes in who fights wars in the United States.[90] Damon is a supporter of the Democratic Party, and has made several critical comments on Republican Party figures, and expressed his disillusionment with the policies of President Barack Obama.[91][92] In 2012 Damon, Ben Affleck, and John Krasinski hosted a fundraiser for Democratic Senate nominee Elizabeth Warren.[93]
Damon dated his Good Will Hunting co-star Minnie Driver.[94] He later had a two-year relationship with actress Winona Ryder.[27] From 2001 to 2003, he dated Odessa Whitmire, a former personal assistant of Billy Bob Thornton and Ben Affleck.[27]
Damon met Argentine bartender Luciana Bozán Barroso (born 1976) in April 2003 while filming Stuck on You in Miami.[95][96] They became engaged in September 2005 and married in a private civil ceremony on December 9, 2005, at the Manhattan Marriage Bureau.[96][97] In 2013, they renewed their wedding vows in front of family and friends in St. Lucia.[98][99] Damon is stepfather to Bozán Barroso's daughter, Alexia, from her previous marriage. The couple also have three daughters together: Isabella (born June 2006),[100] Gia Zavala (born August 2008)[101] and Stella Zavala (born October 2010).[102] By 2012, they lived in Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles,[103] having previously lived in Miami and New York.[104]
Damon is a fan of the Boston Red Sox.[105] After the team won the 2007 World Series, he narrated the commemorative DVD release of the event.[106] He enjoys playing poker and has competed in several World Series of Poker (WSOP) events,[107][108] including the 2010 World Series of Poker main event.[109] He dropped $25,000 at the WSOP while researching his role as a professional poker player in Rounders (1998)[110] and, after finishing the film, was busted out of the 1998 WSOP by poker professional Doyle Brunson.[111]

Waterfall - Is this six tons?
springpoolJuly 13, 2006
I'm in the process of having a pool installed and the crew just finished the rock waterfall. The waterfall was not built to specs but our builder claims he has already used the six tons we purchased. The tallest point on the waterfall was suppose to be about 3'6" but is actually 26". Can anyone tell me if this is six tons of rock? I have seen several and it doesn't appear to me that it is, but I may be wrong. I know it's difficult to estimate from a picture, but just as a reference the spa is raised 12". the highest point is 26", and the total lenght is ~9 to 10'. It's moss rock. Thanks.

It is God, James tells us, who is the giver of every good and perfect gift. Treasure, real treasure, comes from God alone. How is it, then, that we fail to receive that which He would give us? Often the problem is not that God is withholding, but that we are holding on.
There's an old, bucolic story about a little boy who got his hand stuck in a delicate vase. It seems he reached into the vase to retrieve something, and then could not pull himself free without breaking it. Finally, he called out to his dad for help. They worked and struggled to ease his hand out, but to no avail. Seeing no alternative, the father made the inevitable decision: the vase must be broken.
Just before he struck the fatal blow to this heirloom piece, the father asked his son to try to slip his hand out one more time. Crying now, the little boy 'fessed up: "Dad, I'll do it if you make me, but if I do, I'll have to drop my dime." It's an antique story about an antique vase, but it illustrates a very basic spiritual principle: The hand that is closed cannot receive the treasure that God wants to give. It's just that simple.
Do not lay up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and dust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
Leviticus 9; Hebrews 4

Interviews are by invitation only. Our goal is to interview all candidates accepted into our programs. An invitation to interview thus signals that your application has reached an advanced stage of consideration, but does not guarantee admission.
Candidates will be invited to interviews by email, up until the decision deadlines. Decisions will be released early for some candidates who will be denied admission without an interview. We prefer to conduct interviews in person. Please note that interviews are done on weekdays and during business hours.

Brighton boss Gus Poyet is urging Newcastle to extend goalkeeper Steve Harper's loan spell to the end of January.
The initial agreement was for a month and, although Poyet thought he was getting Harper for longer at the time, he is keen to keep the veteran down at the south coast.
Poyet said: "The idea in the beginning was it would be up to January. For some reason, in the last few hours of negotiations, it changed to only a month.
"I don't like a month because players get used to how you play then go back, so I was as surprised as anyone. I was convinced it was for almost three months. It's very difficult to explain the reasons but it happened.
"We want the players to be happy here."

Lithium-Ion Batteries Linked to Airplane Fires 244
from the mine-keep-not-exploding dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Also, you CAN completely discharge a rechargeable lithium battery and then recharge it. (How do I know it was completely discharged? Stupid me put it in my pocket with change and keys - so you KNOW that it got shorted out at some point - but it was totally dead, so no harm done).
Assuming you're talking about a fairly modern battery, it probably wasn't completely discharged. Most modern Li-Ion batteries contain a voltage regulator and a low-voltage cutoff. If the voltage drops below a certain point, they cut off power flow out of the battery to prevent you from destroying it by fully discharging it.
Whatever for?
If it wasn't for the Society, there would be nobody to get "First Post"!
