Many parents find it reassuring to know that distance education is available as an alternative to local schools.
Sometimes parents can be concerned about the content of the learning program and how it is taught in a school. In the first instance, we encourage you to talk to your teacher about your concerns.
All schools in Queensland are required to teach according to the approved syllabus. While you may still have concerns about the approved syllabus at least in the context of distance education you can look at what your student's learning over the course of a whole term and you can anticipate issues that may arise with your teenager. It's better to know ahead of time as opposed to trying to resolve an issue after the fact.
We have had families that have immigrated to Australia from other countries such as South Africa. Sometimes we have found that students are shy and that they struggle with learning English while working on their coursework. By having the work online, students are able to go through the work without trying to keep up with the busy classroom environment.
The public school system provides distance education to students based on their ability to meet certain criteria. This criteria could be related to remoteness or the inability of the student to attend a local public school.
Our distance education program has criteria as well - you need to be engaged in our program and you need to comply with the residential program requirements. Having said that, most parents find our enrolment policy to be more accommodating.

Office of the United States Trade Representative.
Notice and request for comments.
This publication gives notice that, pursuant to the Trade Act of 2002, and consistent with Executive Order 13141 (64 FR 63169) (Nov. 18, 1999) and its implementing guidelines (65 FR 79442), the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR), through the Trade Policy Staff Committee (TPSC), is initiating an environmental review of the proposed United States-Australia Free Trade Agreement. The TPSC is requesting written comments from the public on what should be included in the scope of the environmental review, including the potential environmental effects that might flow from the free trade agreement and the potential implications for U.S. environmental laws and regulations, and identification of complementarities between trade and environmental objectives such as the promotion of sustainable development. The TPSC also welcomes public views on appropriate methodologies and sources of data for conducting the review. Persons submitting written comments should provide as much detail as possible on the degree to which the subject matter they propose for inclusion in the review may raise significant environmental issues in the context of the negotiation.
Public comments should be received no later than April 30, 2003.
Submissions by electronic mail: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Submissions by facsimile: Gloria Blue, Executive Secretary, Trade Policy Staff Committee, at (202) 395-6143.Start Further Info
For procedural questions concerning public comments, contact Gloria Blue, Start Printed Page 12150Executive Secretary, TPSC, Office of the USTR, 1724 F Street, NW., Washington, DC 20508, telephone (202) 395-3475. Questions concerning the environmental review should be addressed to David J. Brooks, Environment and Natural Resources Section, USTR, telephone (202) 395-7320.End Further Info End Preamble Start Supplemental Information
1. Background Information
On November 13, 2002, in accordance with section 2104(a)(1) of the Trade Act of 2002, the Untied States Trade Representative, Ambassador Robert B. Zoellick, notified Congress of the President's intent to enter into trade negotiations with Australia. Ambassador Zoellick outlined specific U.S. objectives for these negotiations in the notification letters to Congress. Copies of the letters are available at http://www.ustr.gov/releases/2002/11/2002-11-13-australia-hastert.PDF and http://ww.ustr.gov/releases/2002/11/2002-11-13-australia-byrd.PDF).
The TPSC invited the public to provide written comments and/or oral testimony at a public hearing that took place on January 15, 2003, to assist USTR in amplifying and clarifying negotiating objectives for the proposed FTA and to provide advice on how specific goods and services and other matters should be treated under the proposed agreement (67 FR 76431).
Two-way trade between the United States and Australia has grown significantly in the past decade, and totaled more than $19 billion in 2001. The increased access to Australia's market that an FTA would provide would further boost trade in both goods and services, enhancing employment opportunities in both countries. An FTA also would encourage additional foreign investment between the United States and Australia. A free trade agreement with Australia would further deepen the already close cooperation between the United States and Australia in advancing objectives for multilateral negotiations currently underway in the World Trade organization (WTO).
2. Environmental Review
USTR, through the TPSC, will perform an environmental review of the agreement pursuant to the Trade Act of 2002 and consistent with Executive Order 13141 (64 FR 63169) and its implementing guidelines (65 FR 79442).
Environmental reviews are used to identify potentially significant, reasonable foreseeable environmental impacts (both positive and negative), and information from the review can help facilitate consideration of appropriate responses where impacts are identified. Reviews address potential environmental impacts of the proposed agreement and potential implications for environmental laws and regulations. The focus of the review is on impacts in the United States, although global and transboundary impacts may be considered, where appropriate and prudent.
3. Requirements for Submissions
In order to facilitate prompt processing of submissions, USTR strongly urges and prefers electronic (e-mail) submissions in response to this notice.
Persons making submission by e-mail should use the following subject line: "United States—Australia FTA Environmental Review" followed by "Written Comments." Documents should be submitted as either WordPerfect, MSWord, or text (.TXT) files. Supporting documentation submitted as spreadsheets are acceptable as Quattro Pro or Excel. For any document containing business confidential information submitted electronically, the file name of the business confidential version should begin with the characters "BC-", and the file name of the public version should begin with the characters "P-". The "P-" or "BC-" should be followed by the name of the submitter. Persons who make submissions by e-mail should not provide separate cover letters; information that might appear in a cover letter should be included in the submission itself. To the extent possible, any attachments to the submission should be included in the same file as the submission itself, and not as separate files.
Written comments submitted in response to this request will be placed in a file open to public inspection pursuant to 15 CFR 2003.5, except business confidential information exempt from public inspection in accordance with 15 CFR 2003.6. Business confidential information submitted in accordance with 15 CFR 2003.6 must be clearly marked "BUSINESS CONFIDENTIAL" at the top of each page, including any cover letter or cover page, and must be accompanied by a nonconfidential summary of the confidential information. All public documents and nonconfidential summaries shall be available for public inspection in the USTR Reading Room.

An appointment to review the file must be scheduled at least 48 hours in advance and may be made by calling (202) 395-6186.
USTR also welcomes and will take into account the public comments on Australia FTA environmental issues submitted in response to a previous notice—the Federal Register notice dated December 12, 2002 (67 FR 76431)—requesting comments from the public to assist USTR in formulating positions and proposals with respect to all aspects of the negotiations, including environmental issues.

The missing Plano mother of two children has been found and is now home resting, police and a family spokesperson said.
Police said Janice Klein was found in a bathroom at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport at 5 p.m. Sunday.
"When DFW DPS located her, they interviewed her and they discovered that she was severely dehydrated," said Andrae Smith, Plano Police's public information officer. "She was disoriented and they then transported her to a hospital."
Robert Klein, the missing woman's husband, told NBC 5 on Monday that Janice has been released from the hospital after receiving IV treatment for dehydration.
Robert Klein said that his wife had no identification with her, making it difficult for authorities at the airport to determine who she was.
It wasn't until someone with DFW Police saw a Sunday evening newscast listing Klein as missing that anyone was aware of who she might be, police said.
Robert Klein said that his wife was wearing the same outfit she was last seen in Friday and had a train ticket in her pocket. Janice Klein told her husband she remebered being on a train, but Klein could not identify what kind of train or how she was able to purchase the ticket since she left home Friday without any money or credit cards.
Police said that at this point there is no reason to believe foul play is involved.
"There's no indication that there's any criminal act," said Smith. "We're investigating but we are going to continue to look at all aspects of her disappearance and try to determine why in fact she did leave."
Klein's husband told NBC 5 that he may never know why his wife left or what she did while she was gone, but he said he is very happy she is home.
Klein disappeared from her home in Plano on Friday.
Over the weekend, a thousand volunteers scoured the area. Police searched cell phones and a computer for any clues of Klein's vanishing.
Earlier Sunday, Robert Klein said, "We're devastated to know Janice has been missing since Friday but we're grateful and will forever be in awe of the love of our friends and our community."

Wednesday, Sept. 12, 2007 – Funding for the Bush administration's cross-border trucking program with Mexico took a big hit, thanks to a 75-23 vote in the Senate late Tuesday that approved an amendment cutting funding to the program.
Next, the House and Senate will get together on the funding bill. However, then it will go to the president, who says he will veto.
U.S. Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-ND, offered the amendment Monday, Sept. 10, to the Senate's version of the FY 2008 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development Appropriations bill. The amendment calls for a stop to the Bush administration's pilot program that now allows Mexican trucks to haul freight throughout the United States. The amendment was co-sponsored by Sen. Arlen Specter, R-PA.
"I offer on behalf of myself and Sen. Specter an amendment – bipartisan, with a good many cosponsors – that says, 'let's stop this pilot program,' " Dorgan said.
When Dorgan's amendment came up for debate late Tuesday, it was countered by another amendment offered by Sen. John Cornyn, R-TX. His amendment sought to allow the program to go forward with trucks being inspected only once every three months.
"My colleague will offer an amendment that sounds as if it is wrapped in a bouquet of flowers. The very last sentence says: Let's fund this project," Dorgan said about the Cornyn amendment. "So we can skip the preamble and say: Do you want to fund this project or not? Do you believe we ought to have long-haul trucks from Mexico under these circumstances at this time or don't you?
"If you believe we are not ready, that there is not and will not be, at this point, equivalent standards and enforcement and, therefore, assured safety for the American people, if you believe that – and I think the evidence is clear – then you vote for the amendment I have offered with Sen. Specter and others."
In illustrating how the current cross-border program misses the mark on safety, Dorgan outlined the Department of Transportation Office of Inspector General's most recent report on the program and the deficiencies on the program. He called special attention to how the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration responded to the report when it was released late last week.
"There is an old saying: Never buy something from somebody who is out of breath. There is a kind of breathless quality to what the Department of Transportation did last Thursday night. They get the IG report at 7:30; at 8:30 they announced, we made a decision: We got the report, studied it – we have some of the fastest lawyers in the world waiting on this – and away we go," Dorgan said.
"Well, let me talk about what they missed. They missed the three key points with respect to the standards of safety, because the inspector general's report said there is no data bank, no massive information with respect to accident reports, vehicle inspections, or driver violations in Mexico with Mexican trucking.
"The fact is they do not have equivalent enforcement in Mexico. That is just a fact. If you think there is equivalency between Canada, the United States, and Mexico, you just miss it."
The members of the Senate apparently didn't "miss it," because Dorgan's amendment was added to the FY 2008 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development Appropriations bill by a vote of 75-23. Click here to see how they voted.
Cornyn's counter amendment failed 29-69.
An amendment cutting off all funding for any sort of cross-border program with Mexican motor carriers passed the House Tuesday, July 24, as part of its 2008 transportation appropriations bill.
Once the Senate passes its FY 2008 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development Appropriations bill, the two appropriations bills will be reconciled in a conference committee with representatives from both the Senate and House.

Review of AJ Hobbs "Too Much is Never Enough"
So today I got the chance to review AJ Hobbs new album "Too Much is Never Enough." I really like his album. Def reminded me of some honky tonk outlaw country. The band is badass with a mean walking bass. The cover I just adore because its hand drawn. Some of the songs I really liked were "The Loser" because I really can relate to the lyrics "nearly lost my will to live working that 9 to 5." Who in America can't relate to that?! I know I sure can. Right On AJ! Another song that was just awesome was "Daddy Loved the Lord" cause AJ tells it like it is "Daddy was a good man but he struggled with the booze and cocaine." In today's world of main stream country AJ's songs are refreshing and real. He doesn't sugar coat it for the audience, he tells it like it is. Keepin it real. I can roll with that 100%. Another song I absolutely loved was "Shit Just Got Real." Being a middle class hard working American I can relate to this song, cause hey shit does get real from time to time:) "Take it Slow" featured a awesome singer Dominique Pruitt, great song! This album was recorded at Bedrock Recording Station House Studios, mixed by Eric Rennaker and mastered by Pete Lyman. It has a A+ recording quality. I am personally going to look into using this studio, it sounds that good! AJ Hobbs album "Too Much is Never Enough" comes out to the public February 17th, 2017. So keep a eye out, visit AJ's website to check out his shows and everything else!

Review for Bamik Woodlands EP
Wow! Super up lifting folk! This EP is very upbeat and a bit emotional at the same time. A lot of good sounding instruments such as the acoustic guitar, drum, little bit of electric guitar and a lot of back grounds vocals! Sounds good! Bamik has a rustic voice with descriptive lyrics that really get his song across. Check his EP out here! https://soundcloud.com/bamik

Warren Malone "Lay Your Burden Down" Review
I recently saw Warren perform in NYC at the Postcrypt Coffee House. Great venue! I played a show with him;) Anyway he gave me his wonderful album "Lay Your Burden Down." Great CD! Warren's style of guitar is a folky picking style with intricate fills. I envy his guitar playing! Warren has a great singing voice, better than many I have heard. It is filled with soul and reminds me of a voice from before this generation. This album sounds like the soundtrack from a cowboy western! I love the mandolin in "Oh Susanna" and really loved Warren's song "Chicken Man." So if you get a chance head over to https://warrenmalone.bandcamp.com AND GET THIS ALBUM! In a world full of chaos, we need peaceful music like Warren's.

Review for Dwight & Nicole's "The Rear Window Sessions" Album
So at NH Hempfest 2016 I had the pleasure of seeing and hearing Dwight & Nicole and let me tell you people, talk about some super chill awesome music. Dwight & Nicole all the way!!!!!! They got this out on vinyl too (pretty sure) !!! Nicole's voice is the best ever. God has truly blessed her. Listen to "On top of the world" you will see what I'm saying. Her vocal range is equivalent to Whitney Houston's. Dwight & Nicole compliment each other in a special way that you could not recreate. My two favorite songs on this album are "Wish I only knew" and "On top of the world."
You will fall in love with this band.
You can purchase these songs here.

Before they performed a man came up to our stand Mystical Merchant Hut and handed us a burned CD with a sticker on it, I didn't think anything of it, tucked it away in my bag. The band played, I was blown away. Super powerful Funk! Great music! I def recommend checking these guys out. I put their CD on in the car and let it play like 10 times in a row. Not sure what album it is or the names of the songs, but its super funky and good. If you like funk check these guys out. The best funk I've heard in years;) Jen Durkin performs with Relative Souls from time to time as well.

Review of Rhythm Bomb Records Get Up And Dance! 5 CD Box Set
All I got to say is hellllllllz yeah! This box set is straight up rocking with soul and talent. Great music! Rhythm Bomb Records is based out of Hamburg Germany. They are a independent record label that has a small budget but releases big time tunes. I got this in the mail the other day and immediately I was excited! Anyway on a trip to New Hampshire Hemfest 2016 I got my first chance to listen to this independent gem.
It seems like there is a renaissance of old timing music going on in Europe. The next track that reached out and grabbed me was a song called "The new early in the morning" by Black Patti. Def a great blues song! Black Patti is a duo named after a short lived jazz and blues record label in 1927.
The first track that stood out that I love was "Good rockin mama" by Dusty Dave & The Heartattacks. Definitely got some rocking blues going on here. Im a sucker for the harmonica.
Dusty Dave & The Heartattacks
The next track that caught my attention was "Hook Line and Sinker" by The Kokomo Kings.
Straight up 50's inspired rock! I grew up on that.
The Kokomo Kings
Black Patti
As I listened some more, a track called "Crying and Pleading" by Frantic Rockers came on and I found myself really enjoying this track. Really love the harmonica. Frantic Rockers is a kick ass blues band!
Frantic Rockers
Another kick ass blues band on this box set is The Broadkasters. Their track "Baby done left me" is also a track that caught my ear.
The Broadkasters
As the list goes on, I really loved every band on this box set and wish I could research every single one but I had to slim it down to a few bands because hey like everyone else this is not my full time occupation. I just love good music! I wish I had a band like these!
The next band that had a sound I just fell in love with was Gone Hepsville. All I have to say is HORN SECTION! Im a big fan of ska and you def can't go wrong with a strong horn section. Rocks!
Gone Hepsville
So save the best for last right! Just kidding I love all the tracks the same buttttttt this song "Johnny Knows" hit me right in the hole of my soul. These vocals are the best vocals I have heard in years. I love this song. Deep female blues vocals. This song is Jai Malano, the original writer/creator/vocals and Nico Duportal who along with his band mates produced the song.
Jai Malano
Nico Duportal
To wrap up this review I would just like to say Rhytmn Bomb Records puts out better music than any main stream label right now. If you want real music with soul go to Rhythm Bomb for music they are not music created for the mass. To get your box set click here.

Review for "Songs of the girl on the swing" album by Carol Martini
Carol Martini a folk rock musician from Newport Beach CA recently released a new album called "Songs of the girl on the swing." If your a fan of folk rock this album is for you! This album is super well produced with great lyrics and music. My first thought when I listened to this album is that it reminded me of The Beatles. My second thought was that it kind of reminded me of the all female bands from the 90's. I really enjoyed this album, catchy tunes with super tight music. I really like the songs that had a hint of banjo and mandolin in the back ground. Two songs I really enjoyed were "Tired of this heartache" and "No way to say good bye." Some of the songs even have a hint of punk to them. I def recommend every listener to check this album out. Great songs!

Suitcase Musik
Suitcase Musik, saw this guy in the middle of the night at NH Hempfest, set up gorrilla style running his shit off a solar powered battery. He rocks the psychedelic hip hop. Check one of his many videos out here. He literally sets up and plays his music out of his suitcases.
Review of "Ladies of the South" Compilation
The other day I had the pleasure of listening to a compilation by Senate Records called Ladies of the South. This is a compilation put together by Macon Georgia's producer Joey Stuckey. This compilation has a pleasant variety of rock, southern rock, country and gospel artist. The roster consists of all female artists and is a great listen for anybody. I def enjoyed this album and recommend you check in it out. Check it out here ♫ Joey Stuckey Presents: Ladies of the South - Various Artists. Listen @cdbaby: Click to listen at CDBaby

Album review of "When its all over" by The Everydays
So I got this CD in the mail the other day. I must of listened to it 10 times. Super cool album, super folky. While listening to this album, it reminded me of Simon & Garfunkel, Leftover Salmon and Robert Plant and Alison Krauss's album "Raising Sand." I really loved it. Super chill with great guitar and great vocals. Thank you to The Everydays for sending me your album, you guys rock!!!

Jake Thomas Turnbull - Do Anything
Here is a great acoustic song by Jake Thomas Turnbull. Jake now a resident in London has a smooth graceful sound, unique lyrics and up lifting music. This single "Do Anything" comes out this Friday July 22. Super beautiful song! Jake is a artist that has the rare gift of being able to entertain a audience in a simple way with just himself and his guitar. Listening to this song reminds me why I do this blog. We all love rock, metal and jambands but it all started playing some chords on the acoustic guitar, no electric, just pure organic sound.
Amity Tribe's Album Noise
Here's a good album! If you like the Grateful Dead you will most likely like Amity Tribe's album Noise. This band out of IL has great music as well as vocals. A fav off the album in my book would be "One more day" and "Maybe." I recommend you give this album a spin if you like good music!

OM Collective's Psilies Kite
Om Collective's Psilies Kite is a super psychedelic track of some squishy fuzzy experimental folk that you can check out here https://omcollective.bandcamp.com/track/psilies-kite .
Review for Pete Kronowitt's "A lone voice"
So this album is pretty different. It reminds me of folk rock from the 60's because it is very issue based. I don't know if this guy is a democrat or republican or what, but he definitely has a lot to say about whats going on in America today. Musically it sounds great. The vocals and instruments are on point. Pete Kronowitt is a folk artist that speaks his mind and that I have to give him props for. Whether you agree with him or not, you'll just have to take a listen yourself here https://petekronowitt.bandcamp.com. Pete's got some moxie!
Review for Auburn "Love and Promises" CD
Very lovely album. Auburn definitely has a unique sound. Love and Promises a release by Scarlet Records is a very enjoyable mellow album. Liz Lenten's vocals are those of a unique artist. Very well produced record and well written songs. I really like Miss you blues and Ivory moon. Check out Auburn's page here! http://www.auburn.org.uk

Review for Chet O'Keefe's new album "Because of You"
The other day I received a CD from Scarlet Records. This is Chet O'Keefe's new record "Because of you" set to come out June 2016. He will be launching this album on a UK Tour with Liz Lenten. Very good folk album, I really enjoyed listening to it. My two favorite songs on the album is "Drinkin Day" and "Talking Kerrville Blues." Freakin awesome music! Look for this album in June! Check out Chet O'Keefe's website here http://chetokeefe.com.

OM Collective - I Didn't Know I Was Trouble Review
Hey everybody so I got a email from the OM Collective. It is a youtube video theres like 8 dudes who look exactly the same. It is either very good video editing or this bros got like 10 twin bros. Any way I guess it is related to a Taylor Swift song. Not sure. But it sounds really good! Very good quality recording, video work and all around interesting. Check out OM Collective's video here:

Are Facebook, Twitter and YouTube advertising worth it?
Hi Everyone, as you know I am a musician. I do not have the ability to constantly tour to get my name out there, so I decided to try FB, Twitter and YouTube marketing techniques to gain more listeners. I will tell you what worked and did not work for me in this article. If I knew before hand the outcome of these techniques I would have saved a couple bucks.
Ultimately you want to get people engaged in your music. I tried twitter ads, gained a couple followers, maybe 6 and spent $60. So either my ad was not sufficient or twitter ads just don't work. I also tried Facebook ads. I spent about $60 and got 1 new like on my artist page. So just like twitter either I did not have a good ad or FB ads just don't work. What did work was google Adwords in which I did a music video campaign. Basically this type of marketing tool let's you choose key words that will target a certain type of audience. It's a little complicated to get started but YouTube allows you to create campaigns right thru the YouTube interface now. Any way you pick a budget. I usually do .02 to .08 cents a view. This type of marketing pushes your video to the top of millions of videos so when someone searches a keyword that you have bid .02 cents on, it pushes your video to the top of all those videos who have not bid anything. I spent like $130 and got about 6500 views. Google AdWords YouTube video campaign has worked the best for me as far as music marketing. Click this link to my video and see the views for yourself, http://youtu.be/zQJcXPXDkus .

"Be a musician, the dirt cheap way" Winter 2015 Article
Winter 2015
Be a musician, the dirt cheap way
By: Dar Stellabotta
Section 1: Instruments for Cheap
The cheapest way to get instruments is secondhand. Either reach out to your community or craigslist. There is always a shop around somewhere that sells second hand instruments. Or reach out to your community. Ask someone if they have a instrument you are looking for laying around collecting dust. Put up a ad with your story and your quest for whatever instrument you seek. Then when you get it, practice, practice, practice. Yeah, your good looks and cool clothes will get you no where. It's all about the music. Always has, and always will be about the music.
Section 2: The Mystery of No Information
If you have no information available about your band, you leave your audience curious. If you ask me,
this is the best way to go. Especially if you have awesome music. Then the music will speak for itself and keep the people talking. I have attended shows where the act had no internet presence and had a ton more people attending than a band with a lot of internet presence and exposure. Leaving your audience with no information makes them more likely to attend a show to hear and see your act sometimes. Mystery is intriguing. Plus it costs you no money.
Section 3: Making a Effective Demo at a Low Cost
Before you spend thousands of dollars in the studio, I recommend recording at home or at a friend's house for free. If you plan on being a musician for a while you might want to invest in a nice computer. I recommend a MAC. When you record at your home or art space, this gives you the freedom to take as long as you need to record a song. You can record it different ways, with different musicians or different instruments with out being charged $35 a hour. If you do invest in a nice computer you most likely will be able to make music videos depending on what type of computer you get. Its cheaper to do it yourself. When you get 1 to 3 songs your ready to make your demo. You can either stream your music on one of the many free websites, make a physical demo (CD, tape, vinyl) or have it downloadable somewhere on the internet. Right now, I will tell you how to make a descent physical demo. First, burn your song or songs to a blank disc. Then, label it with a .99 Sharpie. Maybe have your friend draw or take a picture of the act and print out a couple of black and white covers for the demo. Black and white is the cheapest way to print. You can either wrap the CD in paper to protect it or put it in a poly sleeve. I order my poly CD sleeves for www.sleevecityusa.com, the have good prices. Now you have something to give to your friends for donations or to give out to bookers to get shows. When I make a demo, I use a sharpie to label the disc, print out a black and white sleeve insert that I created in photoshop and put it all together in a poly sleeve.
Section 4: Free Website
The internet has a wide range of different websites for bands and musicians to display their media. Such as Reverbnation, Bandcamp, Youtube, Indie on the Move, Soundcloud, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr and many more. I am just going to talk about a few of these sites that I personally use. Reverbnation is a good site because it is user friendly and has a good layout. You can upload pictures, your music (mp3 files), list your shows, stream your music videos and much more. You can directly link your social media to Reverbnation as well. I like Youtube because I am a film maker as well. If you want to make films or music videos this would be a free site you can use to stream your film. I encourage anyone out there who has ever wanted to make a film, to MAKE ONE! If you would like to release a digital album for free, CD Baby has the option to release your album with just them for free or with them and other big digital download companies such as I-Tunes or Amazon for a fee of about $25-$50. Depending on if it is a single , EP or LP. CD Baby also offers mass production of CD, Vinyl and other music promotional products for descent prices. But I say go with releasing your album or single for free with CD Baby before you go dishing out the duckets.
Section 5: Getting shows for Free
The best way I can tell you is to go to your local shows. Not only to support your scene but to make friends with the bands and people who set up the shows. Friends always help out friends. If there are no shows in your area, email is the next best option. Or calling a booker on the phone. You can always look up venues in your area or the area you would like to play and email or call them. If you email the booker, send them a link to your free website you made. If you call, offer to send them a free demo thru the mail. A website I find useful for getting shows is Indie on the Move. It is free and has a great database and format for contacting bookers, www.indieonthemove.com. You could also set up a show at a friends house, a art space, a corn field or just about anywhere. You don't need a official venue to have a show.
Section 6: Merch (make it yourself it's a lot cheaper)
If you would like to have tshirts, patches, etc, for your act, your best bet is to learn how to silk screen. Then you can make your own tshirts, patches, etc. I learned how to silk screen from purchasing a Speed Ball silk screen starter kit. The kit comes with a DVD that teaches all the techniques as well as a lot of things you need to know about silk screening. Making a physical demo is also a good start in the merch department.
Section 7: Funding your Music
Different ways to seek funding can consist of a traditional or online method. A traditional method could be throwing a show or party to raise money for a record release, tour, a instrument or something along those lines. Two online methods that I have seen work well for people are Go Fund Me at www.gofundme.com and Kickstarter at www.kickstarter.com. These websites have a good layout for pitching your story and accepting money for your cause. They do take a percentage of the money your raise. In order to use either of these websites you have to have a bank account you don't mind linking to their website. This is how they get the money you raise, into your hand. Another thing you can do is ask local businesses to sponsor your band. A country band from around my way asked a car dealership to sponsor them and they got a tour van for free. Other ways businesses do it is that they might give you money to put their logo on your tour vehicle.
Section 8: Independent Radio
You can search the internet for stations that play independent artists but the most effective method I have learned is to use The Indie Bible. This is a book that is published every year with up to date listings of all the radio stations, reviewers and publications that deal with independent musicians and bands. It costs about $60 but I believe it is worth the money. You and another band could split the cost to make it cheaper and share it. I have received airplay, reviews and interviews for free with only the purchase of this book. You have to make the effort to contact the stations, reviewers and magazines to receive the exposure. You can read more about or order The Indie Bible at www.indiebible.com.
About Myself:
I am a musician from Southern Maryland. The things I have wrote about in this article are things I have tried and have seen that they work. I am by far no scholar, neither the best writer. So take it for what it is, just some helpful advice. If you have questions please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com or if you are interested in hearing my music or seeing my music videos please visit www.DarStellabotta.com.
Summary: You can either pay people to do things for you or you can do it yourself. Have a nice day:)

Review of "Cloud" album by Cyndi Cresswell Cook
I really enjoyed listening to this album. There is a little bit of everything in this one but more on the rocky side which is totally awesome. Reminded me of the band Garbage from the 90's a little. I really love the song "Pre-Op Momma." It had a 50's vibe to it, which is awesome because I grew up to 50's music. I really love this song, awesome music, lyrics and def love the back up vocals. So check out Cyndi's music here http://cyndicc.com and def check out her new album "Cloud" available on CD Baby and I-tunes.

Review for Nick Roes "Second Wind" Album
WOW! Is the first word I would use to describe this album. When I became a music blogger I had no idea what I was getting into, but one thing I knew is that I love music. Nick Roes album "Second Wind" is one of those rare musical gems. I read on his website that he was an executive director at a all female substance abuse center....WOW! You know that was most likely interesting! All I got to say is that this one guy playing one instrument sounds just as good or even better than a full band. His music had my full attention! Great singer, musician and lyrics. He reminds me of Billy Joel. Any way you got to check his album out. Check it out on youtube for free. One of my favorite songs from "Second Wind" is "Ed makes me wish." Love it!

Hooker*Hopkins*Reed Cassette Tape
I acquired this tape not too long ago with a couple of other blues tapes. This one stood out because the songs on this particular tape were uplifting and funny. That's the same reason why I love Muddy Waters. No matter how down in the dumps I am I put on a Muddy Waters album and instantly feel better.

I've gone for a silver and white theme with just the splash of blue ProMarker on their hats, gloves and scarves. The silver is mainly glitter, I'm amazed any managed to get on the card there was so much all over me and my craft room. I sponged a little background for my snowman couple with distress ink and then embossed some snowflakes onto it, you can just about see it behind them. I then layered my die cut trees and snowman couple on top of it. The snowflakes and stars are from my stash and I cut the sentiment from one of last years Christmas cards.
I didn't quite know what to do to decorate the inside of my card because I had not used any designer papers so I kept it very simple using the square that I had die cut from the front of my card and some silver mirror card.

In particular we drove up to Desa Cattle Dairy Farm before finally checking in at Dream World Resort at Mesilau. Desa Cattle is situated about 100km from Kota Kinabalu and it is an ideal destination for the whole family. Viewed from certain perspectives, you can be forgiven to mistake it for sceneries captured at temperate countries.
Here's some captures from our trip to Desa Cattle dairy farm:
The road leading to the farm is harsh gravel but it's no more than 500m. Still it's a bit taxing for small compact cars.
Gateway to the dairy farm. Adult pay RM4.00 and children RM3.00
More parking space than before
The cows are grazing further away from visitors nowadays.
The milking process
This guy loves fresh milk and grass. You can get some for a fee and help feed him.
Dream World Resort is quite new, it opened for business in May 2010 and because it is located right at the foot of Mt. Kinabalu you can expect cool and fresh mountain air with the scenic view of Kundasang town. If you are lucky enough you will be able to see the majestic mountain; more often than not, this area is enveloped by misty cloud.
Happy Holiday!

How to tell if its power supply or motherboard problem?
I've got an iMac EMC 2308 I'm working on. Once you press the power there is no video, no bong and nothing on the display but I can hear the hard drive spinning and a slight fan noise. How can I tell if its a bad power supply or motherboard?
Bu iyi bir soru mu?
Did you find out which part was broke? My EMC 2308 is doing the same thing and so far no post i've found has helped much other than by saying it is either the logic board or the power supply.

Big industry and big government were not meant to be aligned. At least not in our, the people's, interests. That many people have somehow confused freedom for America's companies with freedom for themselves is testament only to the fact that the folks on Madison Ave. might actually know what they're doing.
Here's the food chain. Big company hires big agency to help them improve their public image. Big agency says, 'Hey, you guys should make it look like you care about jobs, nature, family…you know, all that stuff people care about.' Big company says 'Wow. Why didn't we think of that.'
As part of the campaign the big companies get together and form alliances and give them friendly sounding names like 'The American Freedom Institute.' Or 'ProtectTheFamily.org.' Or 'Amercans for American Jobs.' Or 'Sustainable Development Alliance.' Or 'Consumer Energy Alliance.' They then talk through these groups to tell you all the ways you're getting ripped off and how your life would only be better if the government did this, that, or the other thing, instead of what they're doing right now.
But at the same time, the companies that support these organizations are paying those government officials. And if the elected ones don't do what they want, they've got a big stick: 'No more money for you!' When the elected ones do comply, the money the big companies get goes right in their pockets. It doesn't go to you. Recent history has proven this.
We might not be trapped in pods (a la 'The Matrix'), but we are the food source for this whole chain. We are the krill to the whales. Both big government and big business look at the feed pool and see us floundering and cackle with delight. So long as we are desperate we will continue to accept their nourishment. Rise up? You get smacked down. Participate and you get to 'live.' Most choose 'life' and participation, and so the wheels keep turning.
Give us just enough to keep us happy and (somewhat) employed. Then sell us shit we don't need, take as much as you can back without cutting off the food source, and tell us how if we just let them have a little bit more, we'll all be better still.
Religious state. China. The USA. Ain't a goddamn bit of difference between any of them.

A thousand hours I have spent thinking, praying and pondering this subject.
That is not an exaggeration.
If you're the parent of a tween or teen, then I suspect you have, too.
It seems as if our kids are growing up – fast – thanks to the information superhighway and social media. When I put on my rose-colored glasses, I will tell you that it's great! awesome! fantastic!
Then, I take them off and realize that many times I feel like Tom Hanks in Castaway. I'm shouting to the world to please pay attention, and that damn soccer ball just looks at me blankly with nary a comment back.
I'm not here to shout the evils of social media or the internet. Rather, I'm asking parents to quit dialing it in. Because when you dial it in, we all fail. A few nights ago, I found myself wide awake at 1am. My son, Will, had forgotten to bring his phone downstairs to the community charging station, so I retrieved it and plugged it in. Then, a nudge of my conscience had me typing in his pass code so I could take a quick peek at his latest activity.
That's a rule in our house. As long as we pay the bills and you live under our roof, we have the authority to spot check your electronics any time we choose. Initially, those spot checks happened frequently and we installed internet filter software, like this one. As our kids get older, those spot checks occur less frequently as we help our kids navigate life with less and less filters. I admit. That's scary as hell.
As I dove into the deep abyss of Will's phone, I saw nothing alarming that he had posted or liked. Then, I dove deeper, taking a cursory glance at his friends' posts, likes and accounts on apps like Instagram, Twitter and SnapChat. And that's when my heart rate began to climb. Some of the things I saw were just immature (hello, teenagers!) and a few, at least in our house, not acceptable. I had to wonder: do their parents know? And if they do, are they feeling paralyzed as to how to confront it or have they thrown their hands in the air with the proverbial, "kids will be kids" attitude?
Honestly, I don't know.
I know this, though. We aren't doing enough talking with our kids. And we sure as hell aren't doing enough listening.
The following morning, Will and I had a good, long visit about social media, our family expectations, sexting, porn – you name it. It's a conversation we've had a dozen times, but we keep having it. It all boiled down to this: every choice you make has consequences. It starts out with a small lie here, a questionable post there. We shrug it off, or worse, we don't engage enough with our kids to even know it happens. Then, we look up and we wonder how our kids got so far from home base.
I could give you a stacked pile of statistics on the roots of pornography, infidelity, spousal abuse and addiction. The bigger conversation, at least at our house, is back at home base.
WHEN you encounter those things, WHEN someone sends you an inappropriate message, WHEN Satan shows up on your doorstep, WHAT do you do? It's not IF, Mom and Dad. It's WHEN. Here, let me help you take off those tinted glasses as I remove mine, too.
The problem is we think we can filter, detach, disable and restrict our way out of this one. That only masks the problem. We have to teach our kids to recognize evil as they're driving down the highway and make the u-turn, as one of our favorite podcasters reminds us.
Make no mistake, Satan can find a way into your kid's heart lightning fast. I've seen that one happen firsthand. We have to teach our kids how to open the crack so God can shine His light in. I think it's a three-pronged approach: listen, engage and educate.
LISTEN to your kids, not just about the big stuff, but all the seemingly insignificant stuff. If you aren't listening to how the Spurs game went or who wore what at the Mets Gala (the small stuff), why would your teenager trust you with the big stuff?
ENGAGE on social media. As much as I would love to shut it all down at my house, deactivate every social media app I own and join Tom Hanks on that island, the reality is my kids use these apps to communicate with their friends. It's their social currency. Do I think some need to dial it back? Absolutely. But I can't quit it cold turkey. It would be like me turning my preschooler loose at the pool with no supervision. I don't have to jump off the high dive, but I sure as hell need to have my feet in the shallow end, ready to swim. My kids are on social media, therefore, I am, too. {insert their eye rolls here}
EDUCATE yourself and your kids on all the things. Do you know what a streak is on SnapChat? You better. Are Insta-stories on your radar? Time to brush up. Confused when someone says to DM them or asks for your handle? Might want to get the 411. I won't even tell you the things I've Googled in the last year. Trust me when I tell you there is no stupid question, I've likely already typed it into my browser. We Google our kids' names all the time to see what's out there. Colleges are doing it, too. Trust me. Keep up with what's going on so you can help your kids navigate the landscape. I'm pleased to tell you it's absolutely true that an old dog can learn new tricks.
Bottom line? Let's all get our **** together and do right by our kids. They're counting on us, y'all. They will eye roll all the way to the graduation door, but don't dial it in.
Don't be afraid to have the hard conversations.
Don't be afraid to be the parent.
Don't be afraid of the mistakes.
Our kids' souls are worth it.

How does Threadless work?
All designs printed on Threadless are voted on and picked by the community. Users can submit designs to Threadless, which are then voted on for a 10 day period by other users in the community. Once the scoring period has ended, the design receives a score from 1 to 5. This is used as a gauge by Threadless to decide what gets made into a tee!

As Republicans in the Congress begin their push for sweeping tax reforms, with the House Ways and Means Committee starting committee work on Monday afternoon, those who were around on Capitol Hill when the Congress approved the landmark 1986 Tax Reform Act can quickly point out a number of obvious differences between the 2017 and 1986 efforts - and detect some familiar echoes of the 1986 debate as well.
Here's some of the ways that things are different - and similar - in the 1986 and 2017 versions of tax reform:
1. If 1986 tax reform was the tortoise, then 2017 is a hare. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 took more than just 1986. It started with a nationwide address from President Reagan in May of 1985, which was followed by an actual bill from the White House, then months of hearings on specific tax considerations by committees in both the House and Senate. It took the House three months to go from draft bill to a vote on the floor in late 1985. It took the Senate almost 6 months to get a bill done in 1986. Then there were several months of intense bargaining between the House and Senate to get a final bill in October 1986 to the President's desk. In 2017, the GOP is all about speed. Republicans kept the bill a secret until just last week. Now, they want to go from a draft bill (unveiled on November 1) to a bill signing ceremony at the White House (by Christmas) in about seven weeks. President Trump says he wants a bill on his desk this year. Seven weeks versus 13 months. That would be a major departure from the extensive, and lengthy tax debate in 1986.
2. Partisan 2017 versus bipartisan 1986. The setup was different in 1986. Democrats controlled the House, while the GOP was in charge of the Senate and White House. Democrats took the lead on the House bill, but needed the intervention of President Reagan to convince some Republicans to help it get through the House when the bill initially derailed in early December of 1985. After more near-death experiences in the Senate, the vote on the Senate bill was 97-3. You read that right. In the end, 292 House members voted for the final tax reform bill, along with 74 Senators. President Trump can only dream about numbers like that. It is possible that he could win over a few Democrats in the House and Senate, but the numbers will be very small, as maybe a handful of Blue Dog Democrats in the House (there aren't many left) will join up, and maybe a couple of Red State Democrats in the Senate could vote 'yes.' But right now, this is not the 1986 tax bill.
3. 2017 is definitely not my father's 1986 tax bill. Back in 1986, my father was part of "Gucci Gulch," the army of tax lobbyists who waited outside the House Ways and Means Committee, and the Senate Finance Committee, as the Tax Reform Act was put together. He did enough leg work - as others did - to secure the addition of a number of special interest provisions in that bill. "Special rule for Financial Corporation," was the hidden title about one of the provisions that he was able to secure - and it wasn't the only one. If you go through that 1986 law, you see all sorts of mentions of companies incorporated in Delaware, or examples like a company that has a "principal office in New Brunswick, New Jersey, or had "5 3/8 percent Swiss franc bonds due in 1994," or had "executive offices in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania" - all of those were "rifle shot" provisions dealing with one business. So far, the 2017 tax reform effort is not filled with those items. So far.
4. State and local tax deduction - a familiar fight. Back in 1986, the initial idea was to use tax reform to get rid of the state and local tax deduction, as Republicans are trying to do in 2017. But the effort proved too politically toxic 31 years ago. So far, the provision is still in the bill, as it accounts for a big chunk of money that would go to offset the cost of tax cuts in other parts of the GOP plan - but the move is raising opposition among GOP lawmakers in higher tax states like New York and New Jersey. "It's a geographical redistribution of wealth," said Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY), one of a group of eastern Republicans who have been trying to negotiate an agreement with GOP leaders on how to deal with new limits on the state and local tax deduction. One other notable similarity - back in 1986, Gov. Mario Cuomo (D-NY) lined up against the idea of getting rid of that state and local write-off. His son is now doing the same in 2017.
5. Echoes of Trump in opposition to 2017 tax bill. It isn't hard to go back and find scorching criticism of the 1986 tax law from - businessman Donald Trump. "This tax act was just an absolute catastrophe for the country, for the real estate industry," Mr. Trump said at a November 1991 hearing. Fast forward to 2017, and there are business groups who say this GOP tax plan could harm the real estate industry and cause economic troubles as well. "We have always said that tax reform – a worthy endeavor – should first do no harm to homeowners. This tax framework misses that goal," said the head of the National Association of Realtors last week, worried about limits on the mortgage interest deduction, changes in how long you can own a house before getting a capital gains exclusion after a sale, and more. Go back and watch Mr. Trump's congressional testimony, and think about how some of those issues could ricochet into 2017.

More changes to the GOP bill are expected this week.

About Thread Milling
Thread Milling is a method for producing a thread by a milling operation. The most common way to produce a thread is still by tapping and turning but today we see more and more milling and this is because CNC milling machines with three simultaneous axes are very popular. These can now be found in every small workshop.
To perform a Thread Milling operation, a helical interpolation movement is required. Helical interpolation is a CNC function producing tool movement along a helical path. This helical motion combines circular movement in one plane (x,y coordinate) with a simultaneous linear motion in a plane perpendicular to the first (z coordinate)
Vargus Indexable Thread Milling system
Vargus thread milling tools are based on indexable multitooth inserts. The cutter rotates around itself at high speed and at the same time moves along the helical path. All the teeth are machined simultaneously so every tooth creates one pitch. At the end of the operation all pitches are combined into one complete thread and that by one pass only. This result is achieved with Vardex high accuracy inserts and use of a CNC milling machine.
Advantages of thread milling:
• Enables machining of large work pieces which cannot be easily mounted on a lathe
• Non-rotatable and non-symmetrical parts easily machined
• Complete operation in one clamping
• Threading of large diameters requires less power than threading by taps
• No upper limits to bore diameter
• Chips are short
• Blind holes without a thread relief groove can be machined
• Thread relief groove unnecessary
• One holder used for both internal and external threads
• One tool used for both right hand and left hand thread
• Tooling inventory can be reduced to a minimum as small range of tooling covers a wide range of thread profiles
• Interchangeable inserts
• Suitable for machining of hard materials
• Threads have a high surface finish
• Allows for correction of tool diameter and length
• Interrupted cuts easily machined
• One tool for a wide range of materials
• A better thread quality in soft materials where taps normally tear the material
• Short machining time due to high cutting speed and rapid feed rates
• Small cutting forces allow machining of parts with thin walls
Climb and conventional thread milling
There are two methods for the milling operation - climb milling and conventional milling. For many years it was common practice to mill against the direction of the feed due to the absence of backlash eliminating devices and the use of high speed steel cutters. This method is called conventional milling. In conventional milling, friction and rubbing occur as the insert enters into the cut, resulting in chip welding and heat dissipation into the insert and workpiece.
Climb milling, the second method, is now generally recommended. The insert enters the work piece
material with some chip load and proceeds to produce a chip that thins as it progresses towards
the finish. This reduces the heat by dissipating it into the chip.
Based on the above, Vargus recommends using the climb operation which will give you:
• reduced load from the cutting corner
• better tool life
• better surface finish
Infeed Method
How does the thread milling cutter enter and exit the workpiece.... Tangential arc approach, the best method.
With this method, the tool enters and exits the workpiece smoothly. No marks are left on the workpiece and there is no vibration, even with harder materials. Although it requires slightly more complex programming than the radial approach (see below), this is the method recommended for machining the highest quality threads.
1-2: rapid approach
2-3: tool entry along tangential arc, with simultaneous feed along z-axis
3-4: helical movement during one full orbit (360
4-5: tool exit along tangential arc, with continuing feed along z-axis
5-6: rapid return
Radial Approach
This is the simplest method.
There are two characteristics worth noting about the radial approach:
• a small vertical mark may be left at the entry (and exit) point. This is of no significance
to the thread itself.
• when using this method with very hard materials, the tool may have a tendency to vibrate as it approaches the full cutting depth.
Note: Radial feed during entry to the full profile depth should only be 1/3 of the subsequent
circular feed!
Radial approach
1-2: radial entry
2-3: helical movement during one full orbit (360
3-4: radial exit
Thread Milling Methods
Coarse pitch threads
Coarse pitch threads are a combination of small thread dia and relatively large pitches. The thread milling operation is based on three-axes simultaneous movement so the profile shape on the
workpiece is not a copy of the insert profile. In other words the profile is generated and not copied which is contrary to the thread turning operation.
This fact causes a profile distortion, especially when machining coarse pitch internal threads.
The profile distortion depends on four main parameters:
• Thread dia.
• Tool cut. dia.
• Thread pitch
• Profile angle
For internal threads, as a general rule, when the ratio between cutting tool dia. (D2) and
the thread dia. (minor dia.) is below 70% the profile distortion is neglected.
Above this ratio, however, the standard inserts will not give the correct profile. We have developed tools which correct the profile distortion and by that give a solution for the coarse pitch threads.
The inserts are identified in the catalogue by the no. 028/... and the toolholders by the number 124/... In our new catalog, tables can be found which indicate exactly which tools
to use for every standard thread.
Fine pitch threads
Fine pitch threads are threads with small pitches. It is dificult to produce multitooth inserts for small pitches because of the small radius between the teeth. Vargus developed inserts where every second tooth was dropped to enlarge the radius between the teeth.
• All the fine pitch inserts are partial profile type (as a result of the enlarged radius).
• Two orbits are required to complete the thread because we dropped every second tooth.
How to find the correct toolholder?
In general, Vargus recommends using the largest possible toolholder with the shortest overhang and with max. possible cutting edges. The inserts selection will be determined according to the toolholder size and the thread type. For that, and in order to avoid profile distortion, we have three methods:
Largest tool table method (see the Cutwel catalogue)
These new and friendly tables located at the begining of our catalogue are your guide and indicate the correct tool to use for every standard thread - coarse pitch and non-coarse pitch threads.
The recommended toolholder is the largest (largest cutting dia.) for a given thread
application, smaller or equal dia. can also be used.
E.g.: For M25XI.5 (no need for bore dia. calculation) the largest offered tool is TMC 20-3
which means that every tool that has a smaller cutting dia. e.g. TMC 16-3 can also give a suitable solution.
TM Genius software
This perfect software developed by Vardex engineers gives you the right tools (all suitable tools)
for each application and also automatically the CNC program.

The Panthers and Raiders swapped unwanted spare parts earlier this offseason, and have now agreed to another trade.
According to Jason Cole of Yahoo.com, the Raiders sent wide receiver Louis Murphy to the Panthers. There's no word at the moment what's headed the other direction, but it can't be too much.
Murphy has 90 catches in three seasons, with a healthy 15.2 yards per catch average. The Panthers are always looking for deep speed, and Murphy has it. He caught just 15 passes last year, was due to make $1.26 million this season and was on the roster bubble this year.
In March, the Panthers sent running back Mike Goodson to the Raiders in exchange for offensive lineman Bruce Campbell, swapping a fast return man with bad hands for a talented tackle who was miscast at guard.
UPDATE: 3:27 p.m. ET: The Raiders announced the move, saying they received an undisclosed conditional draft choice.

Annual Giving
"We exist temporarily through what we take. But we live forever through what we give." ~Barbara Bush
What began as a grassroots effort of a small number of midcoast resident who envisioned ornamental gardens, protected natural landscapes, cutting-edge botanical research and education for all ages and abilities is now 248 acres of spectacular gardens, native forest, massive ledges and nearly a mile of tidal shorefront. Because Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we rely primarily on charitable donations, admissions, membership dues, and gift shop and cafe sales to support our yearly operating budget of $1.75 million. Donations come in three primary forms: Annual Gifts provide all-important operational support; Major Gifts support crucial capital needs and endowment; and Planned Gifts provide endowment, operational and capital support necessary for the long-term financial health of the Gardens.
Annual gifts are the lifeblood of every nonprofit. These unrestricted dollars provide current operating support. Thousands of friends of the Gardens make their best gifts, which the leadership team uses to support day-to-day operations including staff salaries, heat, light, water and overhead necessary to keep the Gardens open on a year-round basis. Memorial and tribute gifts are also welcomed for those who wish to honor family, friends, or special occasions. Donors who make annual gifts receive beautiful screensavers that feature special photographs of the Gardens. We depend on annual gifts and are enormously grateful to our donors who know that every gift matters and every dollar counts!
Funding Opportunities
Thanks to the generosity of thousands of large and small gifts from friends who believe that Maine deserves a world-class botanical garden, the "Planting a Living Legacy" Capital Campaign that began in 2003 raised more than $24.5 million in donations. On December 31, 2012, the Capital Campaign actually exceeded its final goal of $24.5 million. Not only have these gifts built the Gardens, but they also help to endow the future. Among the impressive milestones achieved by the Capital Campaign are:
•A $900,000 Board Challenge that was matched in fewer than sixty days and raised a grand total of $1.8 million to help design and construct a dozen gardens.
•Two Kresge Foundation matching grants that enabled us to build the Visitor Center and to create a building reserves fund for the long-term maintenance of the Bosarge Family Education Center (a LEED Platinum structure and the "greenest" building in Maine).
•Donations from individuals, corporations and foundations allowed us to create the Bibby and Harold Alfond Children's Garden, the Rose & Perennial Garden, the Lerner Garden of the Five Senses, Slater Forest Pond, the Burpee Kitchen Garden, the Shoreland Trail, the Giles Rhododendron Garden, the Haney Hillside Garden, the Vayo Meditation Garden and the Woodland Garden.
