The Scotsman newspaper on Distrify.
Distrify and The D-Word announce strategic partnership
Members of The D-Word documentary community can now "sell movies socially" with Distrify. The Distrify player can easily be embedded in film profiles and postings on The D-Word.
I uploaded my film, but now I'm wondering if the 53 minutes version would be better for on-line viewing than the 72 minute one. Any thoughts on that? Given the choice, do on-line viewers prefer shorter ones? My film is purely entertainment, about a group of radical puppeteers in Chapel Hill that perform huge spectacles in a primitive amphitheater, using recycled materials.
The audience would be primarily the puppeteering community, and secondly the eco/alt-theater crowd, a demographic I just made up.
Well, my upload failed (probably my end), so now that I'm starting from scratch I'll await to hear your thoughts on my question before trying again.
Using AT&T extreme DSL from the USA I was averaging 15 to 20 hours to upload HD files – so it's a pain because any one thing can easily stop the upload and you have to start from scratch again. You have to stick with it though and it will work. Safari browser works on smaller files – Firefox was terrible and Chrome works on larger files but Chrome was unstable ... just my experience. I do not and will not ever use Explorer.
The uploads mainly depend on the stability and upload bandwidth of your own internet connection. I've never experienced any difficulty here.
In the meantime, Dogwoof (a large distributor for indie docs in the UK, very active in audience engagement) has made a great part of their library available for streaming or purchase via Distrify players on http://dogwoof.tv – worth having a look.
I should say, we made some improvements to the Distrify uploader a couple weeks ago to help those with connection problems. It can now continue even if there are a few hiccups in the network.
Dogwoof has made a nice library indeed, and I'll again point out Jon's good work, since he now has a page to encourage users to take advantage of the reseller affiliate programme: http://emptymindfilms.com/watch-now/become-a-partner-its-free/
Peter – I'm wondering if you guys ever added a way to offer a free download or stream to distrify. I'm about to (or trying to, encoding is messing with me) join up with distrify, and one extremely useful thing would be to allow people to preview a film – like an academic considering purchase
This is a common request – something we hope to implement before long. Of course the main issue is that free is not actually free, so we have to build in the pricing model for free. Hope that makes sense!
It does.
I also just posted a feedback question on distrify; the only way to do so seems to be via some site called "get satisfaction", unless you have tweeter or facebook, etc.;
My upload appeared cropped, but it seems like there's no way to view one's own upload to see how it looks, is there?
Everything is cool now. Distrify gives prompt feedback. I'm now officially distrified. Send me some money! (I need to replace the trailer; it has a few extra frames at the start...)
Strong price points. Do they work for you?
I don't think i've sold a thing. To be honest, I didn't change them. They were the defaults!
Are you messing with me?
Well, the price for your download gets displayed as GBP 13.99 here (which would be USD 22.14) – and that for a 28-minute film that's almost 10 years old? I think that's too much. Might work for a new feature-length film but not for this, I'm afraid.
Also, what has been your strategy for promoting the film? Where is the player embedded? How many times has it been shared? What social media have you used to promote it?
Keep in mind that Distrify is a tool that enables you to deliver straight to your audience. It's not one of those distribution portals that will try and sell the film for you (or not).
Oh, it'll get embedded as soon as i update my website. but only there. i hear you about the price. i'll change it.
Well, the whole idea is to "sell movies socially" on the web. Being social involves some 'going out' on the web, my friend... :-)
Hey, all. I just finally took a look at Distrify since I have yet to upload a trailer of my film to my own site – although I only finished my trailer a couple months ago.
One issue I see is that customers need to sign up with Distrify or use their FB login in order to buy. That's why I chose Paypal over Google or Amazon checkout on my site when I sell DVDs: Customers don't have to be Paypal members if they don't want to. It's my guess that a number of people would rather not go through with the transaction rather than have to go through this hassle and risk spam, ID theft, etc. And offering FB login helps, but not if they aren't FB members – which I assume is the case for many of my customers.
A second issue is the inability to configure sales tax. I'd be using this for DVD sales, and this means that while anyone in my home state (CA) who buys from my site would pay tax, if they buy from the widget, they wouldn't (technically, the tax would be included). This is another reason why I had decided to go with Paypal over the other checkout options. They allow you to configure sales tax by zipcode range, rather than just state.
(I should add that if you sell products on Amazon via their Sell On Amazon service, i.e. Amazon Marketplace, they also expect you to include sales tax in your sales price. Of course, that's easier said than done, since only some of your customers will be paying tax, and of those, there may be different rates depending on their location!)
Hi Ethan,
You don't have to sign up for Distrify specifically. You only need to enter your email address. We will then automatically create your account and send you a password to resume viewing later. All of this information is transmitted securely as well. We currently use PayPal in North America but will soon have other options, since many people don't like PayPal, and PayPal's payment screen deliberately makes the option to pay without an account very, very small...
Regarding sales tax, we can operate that in several different ways. We support transactions all over the world, which of course raises additional issues with sales tax and VAT.
The reason we want you to include postage and tax in your prices is because we want to eliminate any disappointment or surprise that a customer might see when they click to buy at one price and see another price on the checkout screen. Our sales reporting gives you enough information to know which transactions you need to pay tax on, and we are currently enhancing this reporting. Of course, if you have specific needs regarding tax, get in touch and we can discuss further.
I didn't notice that your offer Paypal as a purchase option. Could it be that the examples I looked at were by non-US filmmakers?
Your solution of automatically signing people up without them formally going through the process sounds like a good one. Is this the same if someone is buying a physical item?
Certainly, implementing tax and VAT for every customer is going to be a challenge. But, I think if you make it customizable enough for each filmmaker, then it can be done right. For US based sellers, following the way it's done in Paypal, where you can configure both a state and zipcode range, will prob cover the bases (although determining the exact zipcode range you need can be a challenge, as I learned here in LA). For sellers from other countries, you'd need to see how comparable services handle those details, but I'd guess it would be a matter of determining similar factors: country, state/territory, city, postal code. Obviously, it would be great if the software automatically figured all this out. But realistically, if you let each client configure the rules the way they need to be, that could be good enough... (although it might be nice to have some recommendations for major areas.)
The thing I'm unclear on is the digital end. Is tax ever charged for streaming & downloading? I took a look at Journeyman Pictures, after Nigel mentioned it, and I noticed that they charge VAT in Euros (and the one download I looked at cost even more than a typical DVD!).
We could talk about VAT all day... We have long conversations about it with the accountants regularly!
Most countries apply it on a national level rather than on a state/local level. I will discuss with my team what options we can look at, but we can allow you to sell in Europe without VAT as long as we disclose you as the seller in the receipt. I would guess Journeyman can't do this because they are a distributor rather than a service provider.
For physical items, we only need an email address if the user is paying with PayPal because we can collect shipping details from their PayPal account. If they are paying by card, we take their address before card details.
Payment options are based on what currency you are paying in as a customer, not where the filmmaker is. So if you try to purchase anything from us while in the US you will currently be directed to PayPal no matter what option you choose at checkout. Try it below, and you'll see what I mean.
I see what you're saying when I try to buy a DVD. However, I could swear that the first time, when I chose "streaming rental", it asked me for my name and city in addition to my email, and only then did it present me with payment options. Does that make sense?
Otherwise, I'm impressed with how much thought has been put into this. I'm considering embedding a YouTube trailer on my frontpage, but then having a link to embed the film, and using Distrify code for that. And of course, I'd use the Distrify version one on other sites.
Could you clarify how money transfers to the filmmaker typically works? Somewhere it indicated that there might be fees involved. Is that always the case with Paypal or bank accounts?
Another question: Where in the app do you link to the filmmaker's site? I don't see it in your example, but I think I saw it in some others.
Firstly, there's no point in using YouTube on your site. You can use Distrify and start engaging your audience straight away. YouTube videos can only link users back to YouTube, so they fail to convert viewers into customers or subscribers.
Name and City are optional for digital purchases, you can continue with only your email address.
Typically, PayPal charges a 1% fee for you to receive money from us if you're outside of the EU. We can also use ZashPay, which is a wire transfer that only costs $1, so if you wait until your income is sufficient, that can be a better option.
If you click "Share" the short-URL used there links to where the player is embedded on your site. Also, if someone has bought from you and they click the link in their email to resume viewing, it sends them back to your site.
In case you missed it in the IDFA craziness:
"Films Transit International has announced it is set to start making its documentaries available for public viewing on the web through a new strategic partnership with Scottish VOD specialist Distrify."
way to go Peter! You had traces of cream round your non moustache at Mezrab – didn't guess.
Maybe I was too lost in the fog to say anything...
The reason I would embed YouTube on my own site is that I'm assuming that most viewers would watch it without clicking through to YouTube. Then, if they choose to purchase the $25 DVD, it's natural to follow the buy link on my site, which will direct them to Paypal and net me $23.98. If, on the other hand, there is a buy link in the trailer itself, they will just as likely click on that, and their purchase through Distrify will only net me $17.50.
Encountering the trailer on Facebook, a blog, or some other site, is naturally a different situation.
Regarding ZashPay, is the $1 fee their 75¢ fee + 25¢ to Distrify?
It would be good if there was a more obvious link to the filmmaker's site in the app. Many buyers want to learn more about the film beyond the trailer before purchasing. Doing a Google search for the title is one more step that may be considered to be not worth their while in the midst of a busy day. The fact that the share link brings them to my site would not help in such a case.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

"We signed Jose knowing that was a possibility," said Moore. "While my initial reaction is one of disappointment, I am thoroughly convinced that Jose will put this behind him and we collectively support him as he begins a new chapter in his baseball life as a member of the Kansas City Royals. As I've stated on numerous occasions, we went into this winter seeking an impact bat in the middle of our lineup and I know we've acquired such a bat in Jose Guillen."

From Green Right Now Reports
GE has released new details of the solar factory it's opening in Colorado, which is projected to employ 355 people on site with an additional 100 high-tech workers in affiliated positions in upstate New York.
The factory in Aurora, a Denver suburb, will be set up in an existing building capable of producing enough thin-film PV panels annually to power 80,000 homes. It will begin production in 2012, quicker than announced earlier, with the first panels coming off the production line within the year. Employment is targeted to reach capacity over five years.
Larger than 11 football fields, the factory will be the biggest solar production facility in the US and a centerpiece of GE's $600 million solar business.
GE has already become a key player in the wind industry, and the opening of the Colorado plant, along its new support jobs at the Renewable Energy Global Headquarters in Schenectady, NY, and GE's Global Research Center in Niskayuna, NY, marks a significant push by the US-based multinational into solar.
The panels produced in Colorado will be made using Cadmium-Telluride technology, producing a type of PV panel that's not as efficient at collecting sunlight as photo-voltaics that use silicon, but will achieve other efficiencies, being lighter weight and larger than conventional thin film panels.
Cadmium-Telluride panels represent only about 10 percent of PVs in production and critics have raised questions about their use of toxic cadmium, which is difficult to dispose of and of tellurium, a rare element. Federal researchers are exploring compounds that could replace these elements to avoid a future roadblock to production.
National Renewal Energy Laboratory research has confirms that Cadmium-Telluride panels present cost efficiencies over silicon panels, but notes that their production and use will have to be coordinated with programs for safe disposal and recycling.
GE anticipates that its panels produced in Aurora will be easier to install on rooftops because of their lighter weight and also reduce costs by lower the amount of racking and electrical components required.
"This is terrific news for Aurora, for Colorado and for solar, and it shows the tremendous potential renewable energy holds to create jobs and power our economy," said U.S. Sen. Mark Udall. "I'm confident that this is only the beginning—I look forward to working with GE and its partners to build its presence and create more good-paying jobs in our state."

19 comments:
Your travel post is wonderful and photos great. Perfect on a cold rainy late afternoon to escape to a beautiful place! Thank you for sharing your travel tales. Have fun using the awesome Paris material too!ReplyDelete
Perfect vacation memento fabric!ReplyDelete
Paris is on my bucket list.
Great post! Love seeing things from other places:)ReplyDelete
Ah, Paris - I spent two days there years ago and loved every second. Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
Oh to see the beautiful city of Paris. I enjoyed your pictures. I would sure love to go with my daughter in law and of course my grandaughter named PARIS.ReplyDelete
What a wonderful visit you had and now this great travelogue to go with it. I can't wait to see what you make with the Paris fabric. You will show it to us, won't you?ReplyDelete
Wow! I love all your photos and I'm so impressed that you did so much in 2 days. I've always wanted to go to Paris. Hopefully some day before I get old ;-)ReplyDelete
Love it! Those are absolutely gorgeous pictures!! The sculptures, architecture, art - it's all incredible. What a trip! :) I especially love your pictures of the Arc de Triomphe & Eiffel Tower. Just beautiful! And the fabric is pretty cute too.ReplyDelete
Paris for a mini break is this years birthday present. Ok so it's nearly time for my next birthday and life's got in the way and we haven't made it this year. Loved reading your blog post about it and it's made me excited all over again about going. I saw a picture with those locks on flickr just yesterday and meant to google what it was all about. Thanks for the explanation! I love that Paris fabric at the end of the post too!ReplyDelete
What lovely mosaics of your photos. They are so rich in content I almost felt like I went to Paris myself. Thank you.ReplyDelete
Ha! You're my kind of traveler -- cram as much into a day as you possibly can. Great pics -- it looks like you had a wonderful time!ReplyDelete
Jealous!!! Oh how I miss my favorite city in the world!!!! I plan to go back in 3 years, but oh my how I miss it there. Glad you had a great time!ReplyDelete
I went to Paris 15 years ago, in the Spring, and it rained alot. Your picture of Saint Chapelle is beautiful - I would have loved to see the sun shining through those breathtaking windows! I think I need some of that Paris fabric.....ReplyDelete
Love that you bought fabric as a souvenir.ReplyDelete
Love your photos and travelogue, brings back fond memories of my winter trip to Paris 4 years ago. I'd love to go back again in spring or summer. The Parisian themed fabric looks very pretty too!ReplyDelete

Love your photos! I spent two weeks in Paris with my oldest sister last September. We had such a good time!ReplyDelete
So glad you had such a fabulous time! I love the Musee D'Orsay, I'm a huge fan of the impressionists, and it's my lasting impression of Paris from my only trip there 16 years ago (that and the Eiffel Tower being freezing on a February evening!).ReplyDelete
I was flying via Paris, no doubt on the same flight you did, and me and the Italian student next to me had a good giggle at the 2 high school seniors behind us on the plane that were flying solo to meet one of their mums in Belgium. Their conversations were fabulous from the 'experienced one' that had been to Paris when she was about 10, to the 'naive one' that had never been out of the US before, I almost wished they weren't catching a train to Brussels so they could see Paris at ground level.
Love this post! Je t'aime, mon amie! : )ReplyDelete

It may happen that while you were selecting your seat, another passenger requested the seats you selected. In this case, other seats have been assigned to you. You can return to the seat map to request other seats.
Another possible reason is that you you swapped seats between the different passengers of your group. You should instead keep your seats and change them once you are on the plane.

Only airline and airline partners frequent flyer cards can be used. If your frequent flyer programme does not appear on the list, you cannot apply for miles for this flight.

Harbor Springs Condo Rentals with Outdoor Grill(31)

Recent Harbor Springs Reviews
Clean and Comfortable
We give this property five stars because it was immaculate and roomy, comfortable quiet. We brought both of our little Shih Tzus they had room to roam. We imagine the late Fall view from the patio. Everything you need is there. Close to shopping and restaurants. We would stay again in a heartbeat..
Out of 5 Stars, I give this property 6.
The owners and managers of this property have raised the bar on hospitality, comfort, quality and aesthetics. My family and I had the great fortune to be among the first visitors of this lovely property nestled right in the heart of Harbor Springs. Everything about our stay was first-class. We were welcomed by a very service-oriented manager who navigated us around the charming space and pointed us to a very generous gift basket with wine and snacks for us and age and gender appropriate items for all three of my kids. Also, if we had literally not packed any toiletries, we would've been more than covered with bathroom cabinets filled with any item we might need. We wanted to take the kitchen with us: Viking appliances, butcher block countertops, beautiful back-splashes and top-of-the-line lighting made us dread going back to our own home. Condiments, coffee, and those food items you don't know that you need until you do were also stocked high in the cupboard. Great space and plenty of unexpected luxuries enabled us to enjoy making many meals at our temporary home. I say "home" because it felt more like a home than a rental property. Everything was well constructed and solid, including the furnishings. The space worked well for my wife and three young children, but mainly because we have a toddler who slept in our bed. Most people would likely max out at 2 adults and 2 children. We were so well taken care of. When I texted the property manager that we were having a problem with the A/C and that my wife had forgotten her hair dryer, the owner of the property showed up an hour later with a dryer in hand and a quick flip of a furnace switch to turn on the A/C. He couldn't have been more nice and thoughtful. We were super easy walking distance to everything Harbor Springs has to offer, including the beach, restaurants, coffee shop and just steps away from Yummies, the alluring ice cream shop. I can't wait to stay here again and would recommend it to anyone who appreciates nice, clean, first-class living!
Absolutely Lovely in Every Way
My daughter and I stayed here for three nights in June before I took her to summer camp. I was extremely nervous because we had rented two other places in the past (one in NC and one in CA) and had to leave both after one night because they were so disgusting and had been so grossly misrepresented in their pictures, etc. This place was even better than we had hoped! We were so relieved. It is decorated beautifully. Even the flowers in the window boxes on the terrace coordinated with the colors inside. The main room is warm and inviting with a cheerful color palette. The two pink sofas are slightly undersized which make them a bit tight if you want to lie down and watch TV or read, but two can sit comfortably. The kitchen is large and well equipped. The bedrooms were decorated more simply (the master has a gas fireplace) and we slept very well. The view from the terrace and the rooftop deck is just beautiful. It overlooks the harbor. The rooftop deck was great for sitting and reading and it is huge. There is a BBQ up there and had we been there longer we probably would have used it. The location can't be beat. You can walk to anything in Harbor Springs, which is quite nice. The town is quite sleepy with not much going on so it's nice to have somewhere beautiful to come back to at the end of the day. It's so nice in fact that we found ourselves not wanting to leave. The restaurants in town are unremarkable (simple food but you won't be dreaming about them after you leave) so it's nice to cook in the apt and sit on the terrace. They have some board games which we played (they could use more) and no movie channels, which would have been nice. Normally we never watch TV on vacation but with so little going on in town, and having already exhausted the board games, it would be a nice addition to the rental--especially in this price point. My 12 year old loved the place and wants to come back next year. WE felt very comfortable and safe both in the apt and in the town. The town itself is so clean and pretty that I can't believe a movie hasn't been filmed there. We went to the Farmer's Market (in town on Wednesdays) and bought some great stuff. A new place in town called Small Batch that hadn't yet opened up while we were there but most likely is now, was selling there baked goods. One thing was more delicious then the next: the quiche, lemon bars, avocado bread...all scrumptious. That's the only food we ate the we keep talking about.

Great printer and easy to use. Only thing I haven't figured out is how to use it on blue tooth.
Pros: Easy to set up, works well with my computer good print quality Cons: Buy extra ink
My review is based on my experiences so far, with this product. My first all-in-one came and had a defect. But, it was quickly and professionally dealt with.

This is My second HP printer (all-in -one) and I am sure my next will be also.
Purchased this printer last month, and have been working everyday to figure out how to install drivers and make the wireless system work. It is very complicated to install instructions are not very helpful. Online support stinks too.

Last stand is a good oh shit button, none of out other CDs are. We do have alot of buttons, but i really do think a prot warrior needs last stand, but not necassarily rallying cry and that it only really becomes an issue when the prot warrior is the only warrior in the raid. However strategic use of CDs is often better than using them as panic puttons on Chimaearon if i'm taking the DA i can LS the second DA, RC first possible feud anf generally have LS back by the last phase. Same with Nef burn LS early, have a RC in phase 2 and then a LS in P3.
what else are you going to spend one talent point on?

Perfect for use under my kitchen table, and it gave my kitchen a nice update. I must warn you that it is NOT a completely black background. There is a darker brown and black stripe running through the background color. (much like Macassar ebony wood looks-Google images and you will see exactly what I mean) I was a little disappointed at first, but it grew on me. So, it's black AND brown with a creamy tan design over it. I wish I could post photos for you, but this site doesn't seem to have that option yet. Hope this helps!RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Green Right Now
Campbell's Soup, which I haven't much thought about since eating grilled cheese sandwiches with a side of tomato soup while watching Bonanza, is suddenly in the news.
And the news is confusing.
First, there's Campbell's at the top of the "Tomorrow's Value Rating 2011" which is a listing composed by Two Tomorrows of the top brands for sustainability which also promise strong performance for investors on Wall Street.
We like to think that these big companies can develop more sustainable ways. Campbell's soup does sell some healthy stuff, like V8 juice and Wolfgang Puck concoctions. But the whole ranking thing looked a little soupy upon examination.
The Aaa rated companies included General Electric, whose sustainability plan apparently involves not paying its U.S. taxes, and Nestle, known for problems with BPA in the lining of its liquid baby formula and also for aggressively pushing its formula over healthier breastfeeding on women in developing nations.
Other companies in the top tier of the Two Tomorrows list, such as Nike and Siemens, seemed to belong there, having come out with strong sustainability initiatives. The Aa category included Ford, which has a lot of electric and hybrid vehicles in production, as well as UPS, Henkel, Cisco and Volkswagen, which all have strong green stories to tell.
But the Aa list also included Coca-Cola. Coke does support many environmental efforts. I want to like Coke, which also takes me back to those Bonanza days, when we drank "classic" coke, sometimes at the drugstore counter. (I know, I could be your mom!)
But let's face it, this is a company that takes water that's fundamentally very much like your tap water, encases it in a plastic bottle that's likely to not get recycled (in fairness, Coke would like it to be recycled), and trucks it around to stores. And that's not even mentioning its core business of selling as much sweetened water as possible in countries where water is scarce or in the case of the U.S., diabetes is rife.
While I was thinking about what a sticky mess this is, trying to rate companies for their sustainability value while tip-toeing through prickly fields of social responsibility issues, up pops Campbell's again.
Campbell's, that champion of sustainability, is taking heat for using cans lined with a resin that contains Bisphenol A or BPA, a plastic component that's been linked to cancer, diabetes and developmental issues among growing boys and girls.
BPA-containing resin is used in food cans because it helps retain the integrity of the steel against acidic ingredients, like tomato soup. But there are substitute linings that can be used.
Eden Organics, which sells a variety of canned beans, has always used an alternative lining, to keep its contents chemical free.
Muir Organics has begun using BPA-free cans. Muir and Eden also bottle tomatoes in glass jars, which averts the problem of keeping acidic interactions because the glass is inert. Glass is also completely recyclable; thought worth throwing into the mix.
Other companies, such as Hain Celestial, H.J. Heinz, and ConAgra–owner of brands like Chef Boyardee and Hunt's–have announced plans to remove BPA from food packaging and have started using BPA-free can linings for some of their products, according to Healthy Child Healthy World, which has begun an online campaign on Change.org. asking Campbell's to get the BPA out.
Campbell's is aware of the debate, and is looking at options, but the company does not consider the BPA in food cans to be harmful, says Anthony Sanzio, vice president of communications.
"For over 40 years, the U.S. FDA has permitted the use of BPA in food packaging. Other expert regulatory authorities including a World Health Organization expert panel and the European Food Safety Authority extensively reviewed the safety of BPA, and supported its continued use," Sanzio said. "Based on the science generated and reviewed by the world's food safety organizations, we are confident that BPA is safe. If we thought BPA was unsafe, we would not use it."
Healthy Child Healthy World, Los Angeles-based non-profit that helps parents protect kids from toxic chemicals, has not been persuaded. The group is challenging Campbell's because BPA, an endocrine-disruptor, has been shown in numerous studies to be harmful to growing bodies, and possibly linked to fertility issues and cancers, particularly involving the reproductive system.
The Breast Cancer Fund was already on the case, publishing a study that found BPA in several cans of foods aimed at kids made by Campbell's and other brands.
The BPA is a problem, the group asserts, is a special problem for kids and cites a report showing that the toxic additive continues to turn up in canned goods (with tomatoes), such as Campbell's "Disney Princess Cool Shapes" soup and "SpaghettiOs with Meatballs."
Of course, that begs the question of what's actually in those meatballs.
(Campbell's Sanzio notes that the company is concerned about the safety and health of its products. You can read more about Campbell's Soup's nutritional talking points on the company website.)

Park festival proves to be best ever
In spite of wet grounds and chilly temperatures, the fall sun came out just in time to invite visitors to the third annual Lehman Park Harvest Festival at the local facility on Saturday afternoon.
To make things better, it was the best year in financial income. According to Amy Orr, who spearheaded the festival once again, at least $6,500 was generated toward the festival income. Once again, money will go toward upkeep of the park equipment and grounds.
"The cool weather may have kept some from attending, but this, our third, was the best so far in terms of fund proceeds raised," said Orr.
"Thanks so much to all who participated in any way," added Orr.
Once again, Joni Cripe, from North Manchester, brought her petting zoo to the festival. Cripe said that she enjoys coming to the Berne community with her array of small animals for children to pet.
"I love the town of Berne," said Cripe. "This is really nice. It's a little chilly. I always have a great time in Berne. I love the new clock tower."
Several children enjoyed making worry dolls, designed to keep them from being afraid at bedtime.
"When you go to sleep, if you have a worry, you just tell your worries to your doll," commented Abby Gilson.
"I'm going to play with it in my doll house, Love Family Dollhouse. It takes your worries away," commented Julia Arnold.
Judy Rigby, who was helping children construct worry dolls said the good thing about the craft is that they can make it however they want. There is no right or wrong way of making the doll.
Alexa Kinsey said that Saturday wasn't the only time she has come to the park. She noted that she comes to the park often with her family.
Alexa's mother, Linney Kinsey, said that she grew up coming to the park and she is thankful to pass the same enjoyment on to her family.
"I grew up coming to this park; I used to go to baseball games, I loved the witches hat, it is everybody's favorite," said Kinsey. "I love spending time here with the children. There is no money involved, the girls get their exercise. When we run into people from out of town, they talk about the memories they had here."
Bill Gilson, who also lives close to the park, said that he likes to bring his kids to the park to burn off energy.
"I've been coming here ever since I was a young boy. It hasn't changed much," Gilson said.
Sophia Wanner admitted that each time she visits the local facility, it brings more memories than she could begin to describe without the visit.
"I played here in ballgames; after the games, we played on the equipment," commented Wanner. "I lived several blocks away, but we would ride our bikes down here to play."
"I always like seeing the Amish enjoy the park," observed Rodney Rigby. "They donated a lot of the pies. The Amish really like the park. This is a great time to raise funds for the park."
Ron Dull, who heads up the park committee as a representative from the City Council, said he was relieved when he saw the sun come out early in the afternoon. Dull said that he was pleased with the way the people were supporting this year's event.
"We are really thankful for the support of the Amish community," said Dull. "They said that they utilize the park and feel that they should do their part to support it.
"With each year it gets better," Dull said. "It was a little soggy this morning, but it turned out to be a good day. We're looking for this to continue to grow each year."
