OWENSBORO, Ky. (11/14/13) - One of the best things about Owensboro and Daviess County is that they are a great place to come home to! The relaxed environment and lifestyle, the friendly people, superb cultural offerings and great weather are among our big selling points.
The life of the symphony conductor is often a busy one. In addition to my job here as music director of the Owensboro Symphony I also conduct the Lafayette Symphony in Indiana and frequently guest conduct both in United States and around the world.
During the past year I've traveled to Medellin in Colombia, Salt Lake City, Boston, Jacksonville and Louisville to conduct. It's always a great adventure for me. Medellin, in particular, was a blast! It has become a very vibrant city: transformed from one of the most dangerous cities in the world to one of the safest and recently voted most innovative city in the world. They have a very modern metro system - the only one in Colombia-two professional orchestras, an international University, fabulous museums and excellent restaurants, not to mention their world famous coffee.
Thanks to the support of the citizens of Daviess County we have one of the greatest orchestras anywhere - on par with any orchestra I conduct anywhere in the world. So you see why like coming home!

Update - Friday - 3/15/2013, 12:55pm ET
WASHINGTON - The man convicted of posing as a taxi driver and sexually assaulting three women has been sentenced to 78 years in prison, the U.S. Attorney's Office says.
Earlier - Wednesday - 1/9/2013, 7:52am ET
WASHINGTON - A D.C. man has been convicted of sexually assaulting three women while he posed as a taxi driver.
A jury found Emero Tornero, 32, guilty Monday of 16 charges including kidnapping, sexual abuse with aggravating circumstances as well as firearms offenses. He will be sentenced in March and faces up to life in prison, the U.S. Attorney's office for the District of Columbia announced Tuesday.
"Tornero is a serial rapist whose shocking brutality forever changed the lives of three women who just needed a cab ride. Our community will be a safer place with this violent criminal behind bars," said U.S. Attorney Ronald C. Machen Jr. in a written statement.
Tornero's three victims were all seeking a cab ride and hailed Tornero's vehicle believing it was a taxi. Instead the women were trapped inside a vehicle rigged so that the rear doors and windows would not open from the inside, prosecutors say.
In separate attacks spread over several years, he took the women to secluded areas and raped them. One woman was with her three-year-old child when she was raped in the backseat of the car. Another victim was raped at both gun and knifepoint after she was taken to Montgomery County, Md. The third victim was unconscious when she was raped, prosecutors says.
Tornero is accused of attacking the women between May 2005 and November 2008. During that same time period, he attacked and robbed a man, who thought he had hailed a taxi.
DNA collected from the victims linked the second and third rapes and the robbery. That evidence led police to Tornero, whose DNA was a match, prosecutors say.
"This guilty verdict demonstrates the power of DNA to help us capture and convict the most dangerous sex offenders," Machen said.
Tornero was was sentenced to 24 years and three months in prison for a separate case involving a series of violent attacks against taxi drivers who were working in the District. One of his victims was 78-years-old.

Friday Discussion: Which RPG Rules/Setting Would You Love The Rights To?
This Friday's topic:
If you could get the rights to one RPG ruleset, game, or setting, which would it be?
For me, the answer's been pretty clear since WotC went to 4e: Greyhawk, Greyhawk, Greyhawk. As for a RPG, if the guys who picked up Amber aren't going to do anything with it, I'd like to see it in the hands of someone who would. And I know it would never happen, but man, would I love a chance to do a reload on Palladium Fantasy.

- GeekBob said...
Hands down, the Forgotten Realms. I'm very much on the fence about my feelsings of the new edition of it. But if I had those rights, it probably would not have turned out as it did.
- March 13, 2009 at 7:43 AM
- Blotz said...
Hrrrmm... for a setting
I would love to update Fringeworthy to a more modern, less dense system. In Fringeworthy's case, HERO would be a less dense system.
As for ruleset, actually Fuzion is available free, and would be perfect for Fringeworthy....
- March 13, 2009 at 8:35 AM
- MJ Harnish said...
I'd love the rights to:
1) DM Cornish's world from "Monster Blood Tatoo" series to make a RPG out of.
2) The Marvel Super Heroes universe
3) Hellboy
- March 13, 2009 at 8:56 AM
- Fred Hicks (Evil Hat Productions) said...
Well, I got one of them, so how about the ones I haven't?
- Amber. Much as I love the DRPG, I'd love to give it a genuinely fresh reboot.
- Gamma World. Despite actually playing it very seldom, I've been a junkie for this thing since its first edition.
- Birthright. Man, I just loved it.
- March 13, 2009 at 9:16 AM

I think I could do a kick as game based on DC comics' Green Lantern franchise.
Space cops with magic rings, lots of cool backstory (especially since Geoff Johns started writing), unique powers, many great locations. It would be amazing.
- March 13, 2009 at 9:18 AM
- Joseph said...
I'm sure it'll come as no surprise, but I'll agree with you on Greyhawk. I'd want to pare it back to its essence, naturally; I'd undo most of the "advance the timeline" stuff.
One thing I'd also do is spend a year on a "Greyhawk listening tour", going to various conventions and getting input from the fans on how they'd like to see Greyhawk done.
I'd also want to get the vast library of SPI and Avalon Hill wargames that aren't in print at the moment. There are literally hundreds of them. *sigh*
When I win the lottery...

Middle-earth. Whilst I have a nostalgic love of the ICE material, I'd love to produce something that concentrates on the First and Second Ages, probably using HeroQuest 2 for the mechanics.
- March 13, 2009 at 9:35 AM
- thanuir said...
D&D rules. I'd then release them to public domain and watch the fireworks as there would be no edition of D&D with the "official" status.
- March 13, 2009 at 9:39 AM
- Chgowiz said...
Hehe, I like thanuir's idea, FTW.
I'd probably say Traveller and, albiet really obscure and probably nobody heard of this, I would get the rules to the MYTH (Make Yourself The Hero) LARP game I played in Indianapolis in the early 90s and kick the crap outta NERO here in the Chicagoland area. I still harbor a fond and secretive desire to run a really cool, fun LARP from time to time.

- clash bowley said...
Ringworld, with Known Space, of course.
- March 13, 2009 at 10:26 AM
- Mad Brew said...
1) Rules: D&D 3.5 - would definitely just public domain the whole thing.
2) Setting: Its a tie between Ravenloft, my absolute favorite horror themed setting and Iron Kingdoms, I love the Steampunk vibe, and I'd like to update the material for it.
3) Runners up: Mutants & Masterminds (perhaps my favorite d20 variant), Hellboy (I love the fusion of Nazi pulp and horror), Dark Sun, & Planscape.
- March 13, 2009 at 10:28 AM
- Zachary The First said...
@clash: I would pay to see that happen. Seriously. BTW, I still can't find my print copy of IHW from the move, along with a few other books. Its getting me depressed.
@thanuir: Now *that* would be something!
@fred: I have my wife watching the Dresden Files TV show on hulu. She really digs it. Maybe a gateway into gaming…??
@joseph: Dude, we are simpatico on plans for Greyhawk. One thing we might differ on is I'd like to make the Greyhawk Wars an event where player allegiance and decision affected (in part) the outcome. But I also think I'd want things back at pre-Wars setting, so I don't know how that'd work.
@mad brew: I hope we see more Iron Kingdoms. I tend to think about Iron Kingdoms as being everything Eberron wanted to be but wasn't. I don't know that that's fair, but I felt it incorporated the "steampunk" aspects much better.
@sacha: I wonder if we'll ever see another Middle Earth RPG.

SPI's Dragonquest
I love Traveller and Pendragon, but they are in good hands. Dragonquest is a great idea for a game that needs some serious editing and common sense.

Star Trek as a setting. Whole new system. I would love to see it done as much justice and have the same popularity as resulted from FASA in the 80s.
I would spend lottery winnings on that, but I suspect it wouldn't be enough.
- March 13, 2009 at 4:49 PM
- labsenpai said...
1) GreyHawk...even just for reprinting the giant map again.
2) Moore's TOM STRONG pulp universe.
3) Star Wars...so I can rewrite Vader.
- March 13, 2009 at 6:35 PM
- noisms said...
The question should be which rules/setting would I not want the rights to? ;)
Planescape, probably. Or Cyberpunk 2020 - I'd like to update the art, timeline and mechanics, and make sure new supplements could come out.
- March 13, 2009 at 9:00 PM
- Joseph said...
I might at this point ask a question of those who might actually have some industry knowledge...
Just how much does it cost to license some of the stuff we've been talking about here? I mean, do we really have to win Mega Millions to make it happen? Or could it be done on the cheap (for, say, a game that's been out of print for a while)? Do companies license properties on a commission basis (as in, a percentage of sales of the redeveloped property)?
As an industry outsider, I'd like to know what an industry insider or two had to say on the specifics, especially specific numbers.

- March 15, 2009 at 3:31 AM
- thanuir said...
Tom; Yep. A more realistic option would be to construct a license such that it allows free use of the term in tabletop roleplaying games and titles thereof, but licensing is still required elsewhere.
- March 15, 2009 at 5:06 AM
- Zachary The First said...
Man, what a lot of different responses!
I didn't even think of Car Wars, but that would be a fun one to have!
@Michael: I'll agree, they aren't doing much with SS/FRP Rolemaster right now--not sure about the Classic line, as that isn't the game I used...
- March 15, 2009 at 10:57 AM
- Mike said...
Mike, Would you be keeping the, IMHO, abyssmal Zebulon's, or going back to basics?
I'd be going back to basics.
I'd keep the Alpha Dawn and Knight Hawks boxed sets as canon, as well as all the Volturnus modules. That would be my core material. Then I'd just start creating new stuff from there. :)
- March 15, 2009 at 5:30 PM
- John Fiala said...
Oh, the first thing that came to mind was Skyrealms of Jorune, alright. I used to hang around with one of the developers of that system, and I'd love to give him free reign to get it back into player's hands.

I already had the honor of reviving and restoring PARANOIA in the Mongoose Publishing 2004 edition, though I don't own rights to the game. After PARANOIA, my choice would be "Hunter Planet," an obscure 1980s Australian humorous RPG about aliens coming to Earth (called "Dirt") on hunting expeditions. The joke is, the aliens are completely unfamiliar with Earth, and I mean TOTALLY. Players are aliens who must grope their way through this bizarre landscape in search of their quarry, not that they have a clear idea what their quarry looks like.

Fringeworthy has just been released for the D20 Modern System.
- April 16, 2009 at 12:42 PM
Any and All Judges Guild products. Massive world with many potential adventures. Could game political, conquest or just looking around to "find out what is out there.
I agree that for a LARP M.Y.T.H is a great system.

Breakfast and Beyond: All Things Maple!
We all love maple for its ability to evoke fall and turn everyday mornings into something special, but it's been stuck in just the a.m. for far too long. The deep, earthy sweetness of maple lends itself well to a range of recipes from decadent desserts to savory suppers. Maple helps transform simple ingredients in these recipes — the sweet syrup mellows mustard and chipotle for finger-licking good glazes, while fall fruits caramelize in it for sinfully sweet toppings or fillings. Enjoy the process of finding your favorites.
By Linnea Zielinski
Apple-Maple French Toast
Soft caramelized apples are a heavenly topping for a thick slice of fluffy French toast. This breakfast treat isn't just drizzled with maple syrup; the syrup is cooked with the apples for the perfect caramelization.

7 Lies About Homeschoolers
"Didn't you take yourself to prom in your living room?"
9 comments:
- tiatgmbg said...
First, I would like to say that I have nothing against homeschooling. I would like to say, however, that having attended a private high school where a large percentage of the student body was homeschooled until eighth grade and then sent to a school for grades nine through twelve, I have met a good number of families who do shelter their children, not just from drugs, sex, and alcohol, from which they should be, but also from things as harmless as going to mass at a church where the celebrant faces the congregation. Even as a devout, conservative Catholic from a good Christian family, I've had friends whose parents wouldn't let them come to my house or to my church. Their parents didn't even feel comfortable with the fact that their children were spending time with friends whose parents weren't in the same prayer groups, or from the same parish. A decent amount of these kids who entered my high school in ninth grade were overly shy, and consequently went right back to being homeschooled at the end of the semester, or their parents felt that my school, which was as conservative and traditional of a Catholic school as it gets, wasn't a safe enough environment for their children. On the other hand, I have known some homeschoolers who did great, but most of them spent first through eighth grade in school, and were homeschooled for high school. In conclusion, I am cautious of homeschooling in younger grades, and the problem of over-sheltering is a real problem, since it isn't just from drugs, sex, and alcohol.

I could find 100 families of homeschoolers that are not as you speak of to every 1 you know like that.
- ephphatha13 said...
What about the non-home schooled kids you went to high school with? What were they like? If you're going to group the home schooled kids as one, how would you describe the others? As a parent I have found that many (not all) non-home schooled kids are overly pop-culturized, overly materialistic, overly technology absorbed, overly concerned about how others view them, under concerned about God's plan for their lives, under concerned about growing in virtue and faith and generally not trying to live authentic Catholic lives. Perhaps that is what the parents were "sheltering" your fellow students from? For me, it is about a completely different world view and an emphasis on the eternal. God bless you.
- Jaceczko said...
Once upon a time, committed Christians, by deciding to live as strictly according to their faith as they upon honest reflection thought necessary, drew from the society which in so many ways was incompatible with that lifestyle, at best social and professional ostracism, at worst, the death penalty.
If my childrens' being considered "shy" and "sheltered" for not being satisfied with "as Catholic as it gets" is the worst they have to fear, I think I can live with that.
- Dr. Edward Peters said...
Marcel. Exactly right. This, from one who knows, if not hundreds of h-s families, certainly scores of them, over nearly 30 years.
- Prunhilt said...
Wow, tiatgmbg!
Their parents chose a Latin-mass parish; I guess they're too sheltered to ever have a chance to succeed. Did you ask the kids whether they were happy they had been home-schooled? Whether they felt over-sheltered? I don't plan on home-schooling, but having taught in a boy's Catholic high school where the headmaster was flaming, pro-abortion politicians were routinely feted, Christian values were entirely absent, and the nearby girls' Catholic high school kids were routinely knocked up, I'm a little sympathetic to parents who don't trust Catholic schools. Maybe they should've trusted yours.
- TJ Burdick said...
This was great. It might have convinced me to homeschool my daughter...
- David said...
I only counted six lies, did I miss one?
- mo-duck said...
I have to agree with tiatgmbg. I was home schooled for grade school and I now go to public. Some parents do overprotect there kids and when the time comes for the kids to leave home and they get a taste of the real world they usually panic and end up right back with their parents. One of my friends has an older sister who was home schooled all twelve years and when she went away to college she couldn't handle it and had to come home. You can still succeed in life if you are not overly sheltered. I do believe that you should shelter your kids from things like drugs and non marital sex. The problem is if you don't expose your children to the real world they will have a hard time living in it and there struggles could lead them to exactly what you were sheltering them from.

Really cute! This dress fits really well. It is a little snug over the bust, so if you normally wear an 8, I would go up a size to accommodate a larger bust size, if necessary! August 20, 2013
Red is for love So I totally LOVE the look of this dress! The color & back are amazing! The other reviewers are right though...the cut did seem a bit off in the sense that it does seem a little tight in the air pits but once I had it on it wasn't an issue & there was no chafing after wearing it all day. The tightness in the armpits does make it difficult to remove. The material does feel slightly heavy but it doesn't when you have it on. I highly recommend this dress! I wore it for my engagement photos & got so many compliments. July 31, 2013
Returned the dress Did not like the fix or the material, exchanged the dress for 2 other dresses July 31, 2013
Classy I was a little apprehensive about this dress before I tried it on since the material was so thick but once i got it on it was very flattering. I purchased the black metal chevron belt which makes a big difference in my opinion. Otherwise it seemed a little plain to me. The only thing I don't like about the dress is that it feels a little tight in the armpits and digs in to my skin slightly. I feel like it might be a problem when I wear it for an extended period of time. July 14, 2013
Wanted to love you... I was super excited about getting this dress in the mail. And then I tried it on. Pros: The color is as pictured and the material is thick. Cons: Agree with the other reviewer in that the top is weird...almost a size off, but the bottom fits fine. The waist is super itchy. Going back. July 10, 2013
LOVE this dress This dress is adorable. At first I thought I would have to wear a special type of bra so that the back strap would not show, but I was able to where a regular bra. The fit of this dress is so cute. It is form fitting on the top and the pleats are very flattering. Perfect dress for a wedding! Super comfy and great length for my 5'10 frame. July 5, 2013
So wanted to love this dress I loved the look of this dress and went to the Limited just to try it on. While I love the skirt and fabric, the top part of the dress fit oddly. I could see the entire outline of my bra and I could see my bra straps through the open back. June 29, 2013
in LOVE with this dress! I saw this dress online this morning, went to the store this afternoon to try it on and walked out with it! Its just as cute (if not more so) on and in person than in the picture above. The color is a popping red and has a slight shimmer (which I LOVE) to it. Its a slightly thicker material with a little stretch. The little poof is perfect! Its not too much and its just enough to hide those hips but not over-accentuate them. The cut out in the back is adorable! A nice addition to an already cute dress :) Buy it while you still can! Oh and the length is great, hits a few inches above the knee (I'm 5'6) so its still flirty!! June 27, 2013

VIDEO PREMIERE! Audio Adrenaline, "Believer"
Music Videos & Features
Audio Adrenaline - Believer - Official Music Video from audio-adrenaline on GodTube.
Catch the video premier of Audio Adrenaline's new single, "Believer"; featuring Kevin Max (formerly with dc Talk) on lead vocals!
Audio Adrenaline's new single "Believer" is a fearless declaration, a sonic revelation of Audio Adrenaline's new found mission. "Believer" is a powerful reminder that the power of Christ is alive in each of us, no matter what we face! The song will be prominently featured in the upcoming movie 'Beyond Sight' – which chronicles the inspiring story of blind surfer Derek Rabelo. Amidst the small beautiful city of Guarapari, Brazil, Derek's father prayed that his son would become a famous professional surfer. Unfortunately on May 25th 1992, his prayer seemed unanswered when Derek was born blind. Seventeen years later, Derek decided that despite his blindness he still wanted to surf and that he wanted to surf Pipeline on the North Shore of Oahu. Through the encouragement of his parents, best friend, and surf coach, Derek embarked on a three-year journey of grueling mental, physical and spiritual training. Derek's story is an incredible reminder that the best journeys in life are walked by faith, and not by sight.

BALTIMORE - Baltimore fire officials have identified two men who died in a house fire that also left five people injured, including a pregnant woman.
The victims were 55-year-old Scott Wiles and 52-year-old Andrew Bryant. Both died at the scene of the fire, which broke out around 11:30 p.m. Wednesday at the wood-frame home in northeast Baltimore. The other occupants suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
Fire department spokesman Kevin Cartwright says firefighters found the body of one victim while still bringing the flames under control. The second body wasn't found until after the fire had been contained and water had been pumped out of the basement.
Officials say the cause of the fire is under investigation.
Twelve people died in fires in Baltimore last year, the lowest recorded total in the city's history.

Official Development Assistance of the Czech Republic in 2004 - 2009
21.10.2010 / 15:33
Overview over the Official Development Assistance (ODA) provided by the Czech Republic in 2004 - 2009 is based on the official development statistics provided for OECD/DAC.
The Czech Republic: Commentary on ODA in 2009
In 2009, the Czech ODA reached USD 214, 72 million, which represents 0.12 % of GNI. Compared to 2008, this figure reflected a decrease of 14 % (in current US Dollar terms) which was predominantly due to the budget restrictions caused by the economic and financial crisis. Bilateral ODA reached 101,04 mil. USD, multilateral ODA 113,68 mil. USD.
In the bilateral aid component, programmes continued to be implemented with eight priority countries (Angola, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Moldova, Mongolia, Serbia, Viet Nam, Yemen and Zambia). The Czech Republic also paid due attention to special needs of the partner countries. In 2009, these included reconstruction needs in Georgia, developmental needs in the Palestinian Territories and Afghanistan.
The complex and sudden on set crises were addressed by the humanitarian assistance as well, where the first Operational Strategy in 2009 allowed for a more transparent and efficient targeting of the aid, inclusive the implementation of the LRRD concept.
The ongoing transformation of the Czech ODA institutional set-up continued in 2009. The Czech Development Agency which was established in 2008 completed its first year of existence and substantially increased project implementation activities.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has prepared a new Act on Development Cooperation and Humanitarian Aid as well as the new Development Cooperation Strategy for the period 2010-2017.

Hunter Hayes On Love And Heartbreak
Dating doesn't always come easyeven when you've been nominated for three Grammy's! Country crooner and mega cutie Hunter Hayes let his guard down and shared with Seventeen everything he's learned about love.
By Emily Laurence
On Being Friends With An Ex
17: Do you think its possible to be friends with an ex or someone you used to have strong feelings for?
Hunter: I think its healthy. Some time has to pass, but why not be buds? You both had a learning experience and it was hard, and for some people its harder than othersI get that.
But what you went through shapes who you are now and who youre going to be. You can be thankful for that. So even though sometimes it really sucks, you have to look back and be glad for that experience.

we just have the ranged spread out, and have the melee just collapse in and dps (we find the melee are okay with taking some pain and suffering ticks and we only have 1-2 melee on this fight most times anyways).
You will always have a raging spirit up as you enter phase 2. but only 1, and it shouldn't be at 100% health (not necessarily 50% either, but somewhere between there). As phase 2 starts, aside from valkyr's you want to free up this Spirit tank asap, so you want to focus down that spirit before you switch back to the LK.

Let this not be a one-way presentation. What questions do you have about Distrify and our collaboration? How can we assist you putting your films out there? What concerns do we need to address?
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.
Thanks James, Pablo, Daniel, Doug, Ben. Indeed, if you have any questions for us, please post them here!
Wow. Just wow. This is very hopeful and exciting and can't wait to try using it. It seems to address the question of the moment which is how to monitize work across the Internet. Great job!
Thanks for the enthusiasm! Of course, Distrify is not a magic solution. We are merely trying to arm filmmakers with the best tools for independent online sales. It's all part of the changing marketplace that we've long been discussing on The D-Word, like with Think Outside the Box Office and Peter Broderick .
Don't be so modest, Peter. :-)
I think we should remind people that they can all upload their trailers to Distrify even if they can't make their entire film available for streaming or download at this stage. You can just use the player to collect email addresses, accept DVD orders, or offer merchandise.
So who has tried it already?
This is really spectacular! I love how Distrify uses modern web standards and isn't relying on Flash. Awesome stuff guys!
Yes, it even works on your iPhone, iPad, or whatever you have.
Here's another example for Distrify at work in a D-Word film profile: Cruzeiro (although I'm not sure why they uploaded it as 4:3 with letterbox)
They are offering a download to own.
D-Worder Jeanie Finlay has the Distrify player in her film profile for Sound It Out (the Teeside record shop doc that was at SXSW, Sheffield, Edinburgh, and Silverdocs). This is an example of how Distrify can be used for ticket sales. In fact, the EIFF had chosen Distrify to host all of this year's festival's trailers.
This seems like a very cool thing. Kudos to everyone involved!
A question, which perhaps misses the whole point: am I correct that Distrify doesn't have a website where one could find the films that are being distrified? It is entirely up to the filmmaker to have such a site for her/his own film, right?
But why not have a central Distrify site that does that as well, that lists all the distrified films? It seems like a fair bit of traffic might go to such a site and it could be an effective way to attract buyers. So if someone sees, for example, John Burgan's "Memory of Berlin" and buys it, they might then also say, "I wonder what other cool essay films this site has."
But like I said, I might be missing the whole point.
[Hmm, well that would require "Memory of Berlin" to be able to clear all its archive rights for a DVD release in the first place <sigh> but nice idea]
Chris, the point of Distrify is that they're not trying to set up just another portal, like many tried unsuccessfully before them. The point of sales can be anywhere where the player appears.
You can see all films currently using Distrify at http://distrify.com/films – but that's really just a list for reference, not necessarily targeted at the public.
Instead, places like The D-Word could be exactly the sort of website you're describing, at least for the documentary world. It'll need a bit more work on curation, design, and editorial content for the public part of this site, but that's what we're already working on. Stay tuned! :-)
John – Maybe you should look into 'fair use'... :-) It would be great to have MEMORY OF BERLIN up here. It's such a brilliant film!
Also, like I said before, you can give Distrify geographical instructions: Define the only countries the film should be available in, or define those that need to be excluded. Whatever list is shorter, really.
Chris has a good point. Distrify needs a branded web location, a place where people go to browse documentary films and watch them in one place, a web doc channel in essence. This way they can establish themselves as a niche portal for doc films.
What they have right now is the technology to deliver the films and for the filmmaker to make a few dollars but there is no real marketing or sales to drive the audience to the specific players on specific sites, the filmmaker is in the same situation as before, they are still working to establish an audience but now they are giving away 30% of the income. Vimeo will probably do this at some point.
For example I have a film at Journeyman Pictures, they take care of everything network, VOD and DVD sales, they also take 30% [no set up cost] but they have a whole marketing department selling, not just my film but the footage too. And they do sell, more than I imagined for this film. And I do nothing as I really dislike that side of the business.
Nigel, The D-Word is planning to become exactly that location "where people go to browse documentary films and watch them in one place." We've got the user base to build this on.
The whole point of Distrify is that the filmmaker (or whoever represents him or her) will be in control of the "marketing and sales drive" you're asking for. And yes, it'll be hard work to connect to your audience. If you don't like to do that yourself, you should consider hiring a producer of marketing and distribution (see our Jon Reiss conference, Think Outside the Box Office ).
I don't know about Journeyman's business model, but they certainly didn't develop their own player that allows for sales happening ANYWHERE on the web, wherever the trailer occurs, and they don't allow for any affiliate system. Distrify developed all that, and that didn't come cheap. Prior to our partnership, we examined their business case and learned that their profit margins are perfectly reasonable.
Don't get me wrong I think it's a great idea with a lot of potential, I'm just giving feedback from one perspective. There's no 'one size fits all' when it comes to distribution. I think it's about finding a combination of techniques that work for you and the resources you have for marketing.
I would imagine most filmmakers are in the position where they have a dollar amount for distribution and they have to choose how to use it. One of the first questions here was how much does it cost?
Journeyman was a great fit for me because I didn't have to hire a producer of marketing and distribution. That was the point, they did it all for what I thought was a reasonable percentage and I could move on to the next project. I'm not suggesting the Distrify model is not good value because you do get more features, it's whether those features are right for your film.
It's an interesting model and quite an accomplishment to bring something like this to fruition.
As Nigel says, Distrify is clearly a cool thing and a hell of an accomplishment already; I was just wondering if it had both options – the way it allows a point of sale anywhere on the web plus a central site – it might not be more effective. It sure seems like it would allow one to take advantage of a lot of the way social media works: you go to a site and see what other people like or similar things to what you've been looking at.
But maybe that'll be where the public side of d-word comes in.
Exactly! (To both of you.)
I just signed up – I think this could be perfect for me. My films are a specific genre and I know my market more than a distributor would. I have almost 10,000 subscribers between my own website and youtube and I have been looking for a way to sell via streaming but on my own website. Currently I sell DVDs of my ten film titles and ship all over the world.
I wonder if you should sell HD or SD at two different prices – I could not see anything about this on distrify. Currently I have 5 SD films and 5 HD films.
Yes, you can upload different versions of the same film, such as HD and SD, or different languages, or the extras you would have put on a DVD, and sell each package at a different price. The feature Being Sold is a good example that offers SD, HD, and packages.
Thanks Ben. I may use Distrify just for digital sales only for now because I hired someone to ship DVDs direct from orders on our website and supply Amazon with DVDs. I imagine by next year it may be only online streaming-download as things are moving so fast.
So I think I will be very busy this next few days uploading our films!!
Is there a thumbnail image needed to tell the viewer to click for streaming ot click for purchase do you know?
At this stage, Distrify doesn't offer fulfilment services (for DVDs or other merchandise). Any orders will simply be forwarded to you (or the guy you hired) by email.
Here's an example of a D-Worder selling DVDs from a Distrify player: A Place Called Los Pereyra by Andrés Livov.
Wow, I just checked this out, its f***ing awesome; what a tool for all of us!
Can we quote you on this? :-)
Feel free, BK :0)....I hate when apps come out and they're difficult to work, clunky, etc. My mind just shuts off when it won't just WORK, this thing is really buff-put together right, easy to use, and user-friendly!

Neal Augenstein,
WASHINGTON - Six years ago today, Apple Chairman Steve Jobs introduced the first iPhone.
The announcement of the first generation iPhone 2 on Jan. 9, 2007 at the company's Macworld expo, was hardly a secret.
During Jobs' keynote, he said Apple would be unveiling an iPod, cellphone, and "Internet communicator." Then it was revealed they would be contained in a single device.
What is surprising is how the mobile device has become integral to users' lives, and revolutionized the phone and technology landscape.
"It's changed the landscape for everyone," says Ken Colburn, co-host of the Data Doctors show that airs on WTOP.
"To call the iPhone a game changer is a great understatement," says Larry Magid, CBS technology consultant and CNET technology analyst.
When Jobs made his introduction, smartphone users had been limited to products with keys and buttons.
"At the time we were heralding the Blackberry and the Palm Treo as the primary smartphone leaders. When we look back at those devices, it looks pretty archaic," says Colburn.
The iPhone touch screen led users to replace typing with swipes.
Other technology companies have introduced touchscreen products.
"Nobody has been able to create the fervor for a product like Apple has, with Steve Jobs' vision," says Colburn. Jobs died in 2011.
"It completely changed not only the way people developed cellphones, but ultimately the way people developed personal computers. The iPhone led to the the iPad, which led to Windows 8 and the widespread adoption of touch computing," says Magid.
Colburn says in addition to its technology, Apple's marketing separates it from competitors.
"No other company can get people to line up around the building, waiting to get their hands on the latest and the greatest," Colburn says.

Associated Press
ISLA NEGRA, Chile (AP) -- The body of Nobel laureate Pablo Neruda is being exhumed this weekend in an effort to clear up four decades of suspicion about how he died in the days after Chile's military coup.
A team of investigators is to begin digging on Sunday at Isla Negra, a rocky outcropping on the Pacific Coast where Neruda lived.
But forensic experts say there's little hope that the exhumation will answer the question of whether one of the greatest poets of the 20th century died of natural causes as was recorded, or if he was poisoned by the military dictatorship as his driver and some others believe.
Judge Mario Carroza approved a request by Chile's Communist Party for the disinterment, but did not permit the use of independent experts.
Neruda, who won the Nobel prize for literature in 1971, was best known for his verses of romantic eroticism, especially the collection "Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair." He was also a leftist politician and diplomat and close friend of socialist President Santiago Allende, who committed suicide rather than surrender to troops during the Sept. 11, 1973, coup led by Gen. Augusto Pinochet.
In the days after the coup, Neruda's home in Isla Negra was raided by authorities and a Chilean warship was stationed off the coast, its cannons pointed directly at the house, Araya said. "They're going to blow us up," the poet told his driver, then 26 years old.
Neruda, 69 and suffering from prostate cancer, was said to be traumatized by the coup and the persecution and killing of his friends.
"I write these quick lines for my memories just three days after the indescribable acts that led to the death of my great friend President Allende," Neruda wrote in the last page of his autobiography: "I Confess I Have Lived."
Neruda planned to go into exile, where he would have been an influential voice against the dictatorship. A day before he planned to leave, he was taken by ambulance to the Santa Maria clinic, where he was being treated for cancer and other ailments.
Officially, Neruda died there on Sept. 23 from natural causes related to the emotional trauma of the coup. But suspicions that the dictatorship had a hand in the death have lingered long after Chile returned to a democracy in 1990.
Former President Eduardo Frei Montalva died at the same clinic nine years later. Although doctors listed the cause of his 1982 death as septic shock from stomach hernia surgery, an investigation almost three decades later showed that the vocal opponent of the Pinochet regime had been slowly poisoned to death.
Araya said he believes that agents of the dictatorship injected poison into Neruda's stomach at the clinic. "Our mistake was leaving Neruda by himself on Sept. 23. If he hadn't been left alone, they wouldn't have killed him," Araya told The Associated Press.
But the Pablo Neruda Foundation that manages the poet's estate rejected Araya's allegation and the Communist Party to which he belonged long declined to make an issue of it.
Araya said party officials finally paid attention when he gave an interview to a Mexican magazine in May 2011 that created an international uproar.
Proving Araya's theory will be daunting.
Neruda's remains have been buried for years in soil that receives intense coastal humidity. Once they are exhumed, investigators will then have to work with what experts say is outdated technology and equipment.
"No big or false hope should be made about the exhumation and the analysis of the remains of Neruda yielding a cause of death" said Dr. Luis Ravanal, a forensic specialist.
Chile's legal medicine laboratory "lacks basic equipment for the analysis of toxics and drugs that even the most modest labs own," he said. "Technically there's a big limitation; there is no sophisticated equipment to detect other substances, so they'll invariably have to seek other labs."
Ravanal also said that Chile lacks expertise in analyzing bone remains.
Chilean Communist Party lawyer Eduardo Contreras, who is overseeing the exhumation, said he was disappointed that outside experts were not allowed.
"There's no ill doing or trickery, but I think this not rigorous enough," Contreras said.
Mexico's ambassador to Chile at the time, Gonzalo Martinez Corbala, had arranged to send the poet into exile after the coup and the poet sent Araya to Isla Negra to collect some clothes, books, cash and the original manuscript for his autobiography before leaving for Mexico.
Martinez said he saw the poet at the hospital on a day before he died. "He seemed normal to me ... nothing could make you think that he was going to die," he recalled.

text: 5 My game of the year by several milesapopheniac | 16/12/2009 | See all apopheniac's reviews (16)I bought this when it was on offer at 17.99 after seeing the TV ads and liking the hand-drawn quality of the graphics. I didn't have particularly high expectations when I sat down on a Saturday afternoon and fired it up. I thought i'd just spend an hour or so noodling around shooting at things...Then found it was 4am the next morning and the PS3 really needed to get some sleep. It's been years since I've played a game that I literally couldn't put down, one that gets the balance of challenge and reward just right, but I'd definitely found such a game here. It lets you keep moving forwards without sticking you in almost-impossible boss fights (I'm looking at you, Arkham Asylum) and there's usually an alternative way to finish just about any of the many missions - but you'll want to do things the hard way, because you level up faster.It's taken me over a week of pretty heavy-duty gaming to finish the single player game, and I'm now on the (much harder) second playthrough with the same character. When I've finished that, there are three other player characters to choose from and over 19 million procedurally generated weapons to shoot the bad guys with. After that, there's the split screen multiplayer mode for when your friends come round, and then all the online play. That's months of fun, I reckon. Highly recommended.

These days, it takes more than a winning football team to fill a stadium. So, when Peter Brickman, chief technology officer at New Meadowlands Stadium, began exploring ways to make the venue more enticing for New York Giants' and New York Jets' fans—as well as individuals attending other sporting and entertainment events—he decided to take stadium technology to a new level. "The idea was to offer the ultimate fan experience," he says.
New Meadowlands Stadium has scored a touchdown. Today, the 82,566-seat facility is equipped with four massive high-definition video display scoreboards and more than 2,200 HD video displays—all designed to provide fans with access to the game virtually anywhere in the venue. Each screen has its own IP address, and it's possible to send content and messages to groups of screens and even to an individual monitor.
Officials can add or delete elements—everything from a birthday greeting to a menu selection—in real time. What's more, every point-of-sale terminal is equipped with a scanner and, as a result, it's possible to preload offers and incentives with tickets. The system also allows stadium executives to monitor lines and track everything from gate flow to food quality in real time.
John Mayer, president of the New York Giants, says, "It's the most advanced stadium ever built. Fans feel like they have stepped into the future."
It is the future—the future of live entertainment. As networks become more sophisticated and the need to interact in real-time with customers grows, a growing number of organizations are turning to more sophisticated systems and tools to ratchet up performance and manage costs.
"It is an industry in transformation," says Blake White, director of the Entertainment, Media and Communications Practice at Pricewaterhouse-Coopers (PwC) Consulting. "Huge opportunities exist, and it's up to organizations to tap into them."
Kicking Off a New Era
It's no surprise that the Internet and mobile technology have disrupted—and forever changed—distribution models, advertising, marketing and merchandising. However, few industries have felt the impact more than media and entertainment, in which business models are undergoing radical change. Yet, at the same time, better networking, database and analytics capabilities have made it possible to understand customer behavior and create more powerful ways to distribute and sell products and services.
"It is absolutely essential for entertainment and media companies to know as much as possible about customers and develop processes and strategies that connect to them effectively," White explains. Analytics is frequently at the center of an IT focus, but other technologies that enter the picture include cloud computing, social networking, content management, mobile applications and digital distribution. Many of these capabilities are ultimately driven by more powerful hardware and server virtualization.
It's a concept that Brickman at New Meadowlands understands. Over the last three years, working with both the Giants and Jets, he and team executives have assembled a state-of-the-art environment that redefines sports entertainment and marketing. Cisco Stadium Vision technology presents live game footage, team trivia, news and weather information. It also allows stadium operators to change the venue's color scheme, content and team branding—from Giants blue to Jets green—with the push of a few buttons.
Meanwhile, a Verizon and Cisco partnership delivers 34 channels of customized HD content to the stadium. This allows fans to simultaneously view multiple games and other content in select areas of the facility.
Verizon also installed a wireless network throughout the stadium, providing fans with access to relevant sports and entertainment content. Finally, luxury suites are equipped with digital technologies that allow patrons to use touch-screens to order concession items, as well as control broadcast channels and other digital content.
Assembling the infrastructure was a complex task. The stadium includes 10,000 access points for ubiquitous WiFi coverage and more than 1,000 point-of-sale devices. Operators use advanced analytics to track buying patterns and generate instant promotions to reduce food and merchandise inventory.
These systems, along with the 2,200 screens and a 70-channel Verizon FiOS HD video system, are tied into an IP network running on Cisco 6500 switches. More than 125 Dell servers control the infrastructure, which provides "obsolescence proofing." Altogether, New Meadowlands invested more than $100 million in technology; the overall cost of the stadium exceeded $1.6 billion.
PwC's White believes that entertainment and media companies are becoming savvier about how they approach technology. In the past, organizations typically handled media production, distribution and consumer-oriented tasks from distinct departments that weren't part of IT—often relying on operations or engineering executives to make decisions. However, over the last few years, companies have begun to merge IT operations and build a single infrastructure. "There is a major push to bring these two worlds together," he says.
The need for a converged IT infrastructure is rooted in efficiency and costs, White says. As digital distribution takes hold, a growing number of organizations are looking for ways to manage the process in a more streamlined way—while gleaning data about buying and consumption patterns.
"The reality is that consumers view products in an entirely different way [now], and media and entertainment companies are being forced to adapt," he points out. "The repercussions are rippling through the supply chain and forcing everyone to take a more integrated approach."
Site Seen
Not surprisingly, other media and entertainment companies are focusing heavily on their Websites. They're attempting to make them more consumer-friendly and use analytics and other tools to present buying options in a more useful and relevant way. They're also tying in social networking (see "Net Gains" on page 29) and looking for ways to maximize exposure and drive greater traffic.
For example, Mansueto Ventures, parent of Fast Company and Inc. magazines, recognized the need to boost the presence of FastCompany.com in February 2008. By September of that year, the company began exploring ways to increase traffic and boost the number of site visitors.
It turned to marketing firm Volacci.com to analyze its clickstream and better understand how subscribers and visitors used the site. The idea was to develop more relevant content—including blogs, forums, wikis and more—and then deploy more advanced search engine optimization (SEO) capabilities.
After conducting a comprehensive analysis of the site, Mansueto embarked on a number of technical changes, including the way the site was coded. It added new tags, adjusted existing ones and updated links with keyword attributes. In addition, it added a link checker to find and repair broken links and address other glitches.
In the end, Volacci wound up boosting search engine referrals by 200 percent. "As an advertising-supported business, our page views are hugely important to what we do, so this project had a direct and significant effect on our bottom line," notes CTO Paul Maiorana.
PwC's White says that as digital products become more prominent, organizations must optimize their Websites and put more efficient distributions systems in place. Media companies are especially vulnerable to rapid changes in the way people purchase and consume music, videos and printed content. In fact, PwC predicts that 78 percent of the revenue growth within the entertainment and media field between 2009 and 2013 will come from digital products.
But this doesn't mean that companies in these industries should jump ship from the physical world. Despite enormous growth in digital technology, only about 31 percent of consumer spending will focus on digital products by 2013.
"The reality is that companies must become much better at handling digital distribution, while at the same time managing traditional products and assets," White explains. "They must have their fingers in both worlds and do a good job handling each."
Processing Change
As companies transition to digital products and distribution systems, the demand for computing resources rises. Though there's certainly a greater need for sheer computing power, there's also a necessity to address data center and energy costs.
At Soho VFX—a leading visual effects company that has handled films such as The Chronicles of Narnia, Fantastic Four, X-Men 3 and Incredible Hulk—high-end workstations are an essential part of the picture. "Rendering special effects requires huge amounts of processing power," says Berj Bannayan, the company's co-founder. "CPUs sometimes run for weeks on end at 100 percent capacity," he adds.
Consequently, Soho VFX has turned to 256 Dell PowerEdge M610 modular blade enclosures. Each blade has eight cores and, with hyperthreading, provides 16 virtual CPUs to the operating system. This essentially gives the firm 2,048 physical cores and 4,096 virtual cores to manage the data-intensive workload.
The environment, which operates on a Linux platform, also relies on a centralized storage area network (SAN) that goes beyond 160 terabytes. Overall, the computing environment has allowed the company to realize speed increases ranging from 20 to 100 percent, while trimming power consumption by 20 percent. An added benefit: the ability to more than double processing power while maintaining the same size data center.
Putting all the pieces together is paramount. PwC's White urges entertainment and media companies to examine technology and systems more holistically and look for ways to tie everything together. They must turn to creative and innovative strategies while deploying clouds, virtualization and other IT solutions.
These companies must also rely on service-oriented architecture (SOA) and middleware to integrate internal systems and link to partners. Finally, it's vital to ensure that well-conceived processes exist.
It's certainly a different world than it was only a few years ago. "The real challenges aren't necessarily technical," White concludes. "Business and IT leaders must figure out ways to integrate strategy with technology.
"It's essential to recognize that digital systems provide more than just a new, expanded way to use data. They represent a fundamental change in the way companies engage and interact with consumers."
