Can you do the opposite?
I would like to use my iPad as a second screen for my mac while I'm home
Share your iPhone or iPad's screen with your Mac with Reflection for Mac
Reflection is a new Mac app that lets you use the screen mirroring feature of your iPhone 4S and iPad 2 with your Mac. It's very easy to use and will be great for giving demos, teaching, and gaming.
To use reflection, you simply install the app, connect both your Mac and iPhone 4S or iPad 2 to the same Wi-Fi network, select your Mac from the list of Airplay options from your device, and toggle the mirror switch to on. Your screen will then instantly appear on your Mac inside a frame that looks like your device. It's looks awesome.
Reflection works great and has an almost non-existant delay; however, it does seem to crash a lot. You will likely only be using Reflection while giving some sort of presentation or playing a game and crashes are unacceptable for both of these activities.
This it the first release of Reflection, and the frequent crashes make it feel like it. Having said that, Reflection has the potential of being a very useful app and I'm looking forward to future updates. I've been in some contact with the developers and they are already working hard on the next release and have more features in the works.
In the meantime, I recommend at least trying out the 10 minute trial. A single licesne will run you $14.99 and a multi-licence for 5 Macs is available for $39.99.

Can you do the opposite?
Air Display is what you need to use your iPad as another display. Teamviewer is more of a remote access app.
Thank you Zach
Will have a look at it
Will this let me record video of the screen? Would be great for recording game play videos, multitouch ones are downright impossible on the emulator.
dang, $14.99 is a bit steep. anyone had any luck finding a cheaper, or dare I say it, free program that does the same thing?

Okaloosa County Commissioner Wayne Harris has hired a Tallahassee attorney to represent him before the state's Joint Legislative Auditing Committee next week.
The Auditing Committee voted Monday to subpoena Harris when he didn't attend a hearing at which he and other commissioners had been asked to appear.
"I was not there (Monday) on the advice of my attorney," he said.
Harris said he plans to consult with his lawyer, Ronald Meyer, to determine whether he will respond to the committee's subpoena. He declined to make other comments on the Auditing Committee's actions.
Several current and former Tourist Development Council members also face subpoenas. None of them attended Monday's hearing despite being asked to by the Auditing Committee.
The promise of subpoenas didn't sit well with TDC Chairman Warren Gourley or former TDC chairwoman Kathy Houchins. They told media outlets Tuesday at Seacrest Condominiums on Okaloosa Island that they are being unfairly blamed for the misuse of public money under Mark Bellinger, who led the TDC from May 2010 to May 2012.
Gourley and Houchins said they do not plan to hire attorneys and have no problem going to Tallahassee to testify before the Auditing Committee.
"I'd be more than happy to testify," Houchins said. "I would have been there (Monday), but ... I was told there was no reason to go to a public flogging."
VIDEO: TDC Board member discusses resignation.
Houchins said she is angry that TDC members are being held accountable for Bellinger's thefts when no county employees have been disciplined in connection with the fraud scheme.
The TDC was an advisory panel that didn't have the authority to sign checks and never saw invoices for Bellinger's purchases, she said.
"It was all processed through the Clerk of Court," Houchins said. "Whoever over there who has been assigned that authority should be gone or held accountable."
Fort Walton Beach City Councilman Bobby Nabors, who has served on the TDC for almost four years, shared Houchins' frustration.
He said he didn't attend the Auditing Committee's hearing because he wasn't "directly asked" to go.
"No one from the state ever contacted me and said, 'Hey, Bobby, we want you to come,' " Nabors said Monday evening. "I heard it was just going to be a lot of political grandstanding."
He said the committee's decision to subpoena TDC members doesn't make sense.
"They're subpoenaing the volunteers who met once a month or once a quarter," Nabors said. "But what about the full-time employees who spent 40 to 60 hours a week working hand in hand with Mark Bellinger?"
Nabors said he would have legal representation as a city councilman and would testify before the committee if subpoenaed.
The Auditing Committee, which is made up of six state representatives and five senators, questioned county officials about the TDC scandal for more than two hours Monday.
VIDEO: County officials appear before Florida auditing committee.
The committee also ordered a countywide audit of Okaloosa County's finances as well as the Clerk of Court's office.
Houchins and other TDC members said they never approved Bellinger's illegal or unauthorized expenditures.
"Yet we're the only ones who are asked to resign," Houchins said. "Isn't that amazing?"
County commissioners requested the resignations of the county-appointed TDC members on Feb. 5. The nine-member board is comprised of six county-appointed seats. a County Commission liaison and two seats appointed by the Destin and Fort Walton Beach City Councils.
Two of the county-appointed seats were vacant. The other four were held by Houchins, Gourley, Nick Nicholson and Patricia Hardiman.
Houchins, Nicholson and Hardiman have resigned. Gourley, who owns Venus and Seacrest condominiums on the island, has refused to step down.
"There's no reason for me to resign or the other (members)," Gourley said. "We did nothing wrong but contribute our time and our talents."
County Administrator Jim Curry said Tuesday he will notify county commissioners of Gourley's decision. The board will then have to decide whether to remove him from office, he said.
Tim Edwards and Lino Maldonado, two TDC members who resigned before the county's Feb. 5 request, still could be subpoenaed by state lawmakers.
The Auditing Committee said it would finalize a list Wednesday of county officials and employees to be subpoenaed to appear in Tallahassee.

Looking back now I was quite oblivious to all the standard Preeclapsia symptoms from 24 weeks I had constant 'heart burn', headaches that I couldnt get rid off, blurred vision and just felt bluh. I had an appointment with my OB and explained that I feel like I am getting the flu, I just never get it. He dismissed it. A 27 weeks I was still 'bluh' and looked like a marshmellow (for me), after mums advice I went to the chemist to have my blood pressure checked. I am so glad I did, five readings later I went to hospital with readings 190 / 140... then the whirl wind began. In the space of an hour it went from you will be here for 4 hours observation, you'll be here over night, you'll need to stop working, we cannot handle your case here, the recieving hospital has requested you have a steriod injection as you will delivering you baby shortly.
I was put on magnesium drip so I could have another steriod injection in 24hrs before they deliver however on the magnesium I stabalised and they tried to get my another day closer to help the baby. Every day I was booked in for a c-section and each day at 10am I would receive the results to the blood test and they would say I could go another day. The doctors do not know why or how but I stabalised (on 3 different medications) i had a blood pressure of 150/100 and I was able to go three more weeks, with quite a few scares along the way. Each day was a day closer that I could have a natural delivery. For some reason I was so fixated on this, I am still not sure why. The doctor had told me at 29 weeks that if the baby was head down I could be induced. When the day came however they said I was just too sick and they needed to deliver now. My two sisters and my sister in law were all pregnant at the same time and all had healthy natural births before mine, I felt like my body was a failure. As a woman I couldnt do the one thing my body was designed to do.
I also feel that I blame the c-section for it all, I associate that for all the bad days and 68 blood test, 43 days in NICU and another 25 in Special Care Nursery. Silly I know but I just want that moment when you have a new born baby and the place the baby on your chest and you can stare down and see what you created. Has anyone else felt like this about a c-section. I am terrorfied I wont be able to deliver baby #2 when I become pregnant and will need another one. May be I will feel different when the baby is born and placed on my chest and I can have that blissful long first cuddle without any wires

Thursday, August 7, 2014
Charges continue to mount for a Goose Creek man accused of attempted murder and kidnapping.
Gary Curtis Fraley, 47, in custody for allegedly holding a man hostage and firing a shot at a Goose Creek bowling alley, is also facing a charge of criminal sexual conduct with a minor, according to a Goose Creek police report.
He faces four other charges, along with the sexual conduct charge, in a second court hearing Thursday. The new charges are kidnapping, unlawful neglect of a child by a legal custodian and two counts of possession of a weapon during a violent crime.
Fraley is alleged to have taken the minor to the Econo-Lodge in Goose Creek at approximately 3 p.m. Tuesday and forced the child into sexual acts. That was about two hours before police said he went to Royal Lanes on Central Avenue and confronted the bowling centers owner at gunpoint.
Goose Creek police spokesman John Grainger said Tuesday that Fraley held the owner at gunpoint for several minutes before firing a shot inside the center.
Witnesses said they could hear an argument in the owners office prior to a gunshot. The suspect had an unspecified dispute with the owner, Grainger said Tuesday.
The owner was able to leave the office with the suspect still inside, and that is when a shot was fired. At that point, police said Fraley barricaded himself in the office.
Police responded shortly after that, evacuated the bowling alley, and established a perimeter around the outside of the building.
Another police report states that Fraley is a suspect in a hit-and-run at the Econo-Lodge on Tuesday afternoon.
Fraley was denied bond at his initial court hearing Wednesday and remains in custody.
The Gazette does not identify victims of sexual crimes. Some details of the alleged assault have been omitted to protect the childs identity.

We were in the car. I was, at a guess, about 7 years old. Mum was driving (as per the norm) and my aunt was riding shotgun. I remember it SO clearly – "Where are we going mum?" There was an air of excitement about the journey, even though I had no clue about the planned destination. I think it had been badged as a 'surprise'.
"OK", said my mum. "What is it that you want more than anything in the whole world?"
I pondered this for a millisecond, my seven-year-old brain whirling with the knowledge that I had been banging on about one particular thing which I desperately wanted for months. I had sustained a relentless nagging which I seriously doubted would ever actually pay off. Could it really be that? Wow, I really had better parents than I had thought!
"Is it a……hhhorse?" I ventured, tentatively.
"Ah. No." The reply, accompanied by a stifled snigger, spoke volumes. It had been too much to hope. Probably some crabby relative we're visiting or something equally boring.
"Try something a bit smaller."
Oh well, in for a penny….."A…dog?" I offered.
Had my mother really just agreed to buy us a dog?! I leaned forward between the two front seats and screamed (this was the pre Clunk-Click-Every-Trip era) and planted huge kisses on both womens' cheeks.
And thus, Folly, the Terrier cross-breed entered our lives.
She was small & black, with a curious ginger beard and a white throat. She had only half a tail – an unfortunate case of mistaken umbilical identity by her mother at birth we believe. She was a beauty, much loved, gentle and loving, and she was our constant companion for about 7 years until her sad demise in 1981. She gave us 7 delightful puppies (an unplanned pregnancy!) in around 1978, which crawled all over each other in the garden shed like little mice. My brother and I adored and named them all, and begged to keep one.
The pups were all black, with one exception which was a 'nude' colour. He looked SO nude when he was born that we nick-named him 'Kojak'. He was destined to be our favourite from the off. Parental common sense prevailed and we found good homes for them all.
In the intervening years, pets have played a huge part in my life. There was a Guinea Pig named Suki, a pair of gerbils which half creeped me out (Bubble & Squeak), and later a mongrel dog, lovely Sam, whom I inherited from a boyfriend. He simply like me better. Who wouldn't? Later came a hamster called Scratchy and a fierce (and also inherited) English Bull Terrier called Sweep (another case of love me, love my enormous killer white dog). All of the above sadly departed.
Latterly, as children arrived, pets made a resurgence. So much so that my life is now dominated by furry friends and I am a veritable Doctor Dolittle.
Meet, respectively :-
a) Dandy & Rosie, our Border Terrier brother and sister (we went for one and came home with two – don't judge me).
b) Tarzan, the Siberian puss – yes, I know it's a stupid name.
c) Pancake (an even more stupid name), the vegetarian lizard – in a bid to finally satisfy my eldest's unquenchable thirst for animals to ignore and for mummy to feed & tend.
We are critter-lovers, I cannot deny it. They bring a degree of joy and fun to our family life which is irreplaceable, along with a degree of chaos which I could well do without.
They each merit, at the very least, a place in the family albums, and for some, a lifeline of their very own.
Use http://www.SaveEveryStep.com to store your certificates, photos, vet documents and other pet paraphernalia. If they share your lives, why not capture their part in your memories while you can?

Time Warner Cable's $82M National Data Center opens in Charlotte
On Friday, Time Warner Cable officially opened the doors on its $82 million National Data Center on the company's Charlotte campus.
The new data center, which was first announced last year, will enable Time Warner Cable to leverage the latest IP technology to deliver its video to various services and devices.
"The latest IP technology housed in this building gives Time Warner Cable the capability and flexibility to focus on delivering services in line with our vision of bringing our customers the '4 Any's' – any content to any device, anywhere at any time," said Carol Hevey, executive vice president of operations at Time Warner Cable East. "Locating one of just two national data centers in Charlotte emphasizes TWC's commitment to the Charlotte area and a commitment to provide the latest and best technology to our customers."
The data center supports the equipment necessary to deliver service for Time Warner Cable's core residential and business products. Functions for the new building include hosting the applications that support approximately 70 million residential emails sent per day, managing the billing records of more than 15 million customers and providing all backend applications delivered to the entire Time Warner Cable employee base.
The building also includes cloud technology from NaviSite, which Time Warner Cable purchased last year for $230 million. In its third-quarter earnings report earlier this month, Time Warner Cable's business services revenue increased by 27 percent to $493 million in the quarter, while NaviSite saw its revenue grow more than 20 percent from the same quarter a year ago.
"Time Warner Cable serves customers across 29 states, and this National Data Center provides the management and support for all Time Warner Cable products and services, including Wi-Fi, high-speed data, voice, TV services on smart devices and intelligent home, among others," said Jim Ludington, executive vice president of national network operations and engineering at Time Warner Cable. "In addition, the building is strategically designed to double in equipment size to accommodate future growth."
The National Data Center is a 178,000-square-foot facility that includes 1,600 racks of technical equipment and four 12,000-square-foot data halls.
As part of a $101 million expansion project, Time Warner Cable is also working on a second facility at the same Charlotte location, which is slated to be finished next year. The second facility is a four-story, 103,500-square-foot administrative office building. In support of Time Warner Cable's green initiative, both buildings will seek Silver LEED certification.
When the expansion project was announced last year, Time Warner Cable said it would hire 225 new employees. As of Friday, all of those positions were filled. With the addition of the new jobs, Charlotte is now home to the company's largest corporate campus.

JAY — The 2012-2013 season came to an end for the Baker boys basketball team Tuesday night as the Gators suffered a 53-47 overtime loss to Jay in the opening round of the District 2-1A tournament.
The Gators had their chances as they led 40-32 with 5:05 left in the fourth quarter following a Josh Hartzog basket set up by a blocked shot by Garrett Sanders.
Jay closed out the fourth quarter with a 13-5 run sparked by Eric Trevino who scored 11 points down the stretch for the Royals.
A 3-point basket by Trevino with five seconds left in the fourth quarter sent the game into overtime where Jay outscored the Gators 8-2 to pull away for the win.
Turnovers plagued Baker (10-14) in the first half as the Gators gave the ball up 13 times.
"It (the loss) didn't happen in the last seconds of the game, it happened in the first half when we had 13 turnovers against no pressure," Baker coach Mike Martello said. "It's something that kind of built up on us the whole game. If we don't make those mistakes early in the game it never makes it into overtime.
"We jumped out to an 8-point lead late in the game (fourth quarter) and we got a little happy with that and loose with the basketball and didn't convert on our possessions and they just outplayed us down the stretch.
Jay took advantage of the miscues in taking a 13-10 lead at the end of the first quarter as Trevino scored the first five Royal points.
Strong play by Justin Morgan kept the Gators close as he scored six of Baker's 10 points in the opening period.
Morgan continued to enjoy as strong game in the second quarter scoring six more points on his way to a 19-point night.
With Morgan leading the way and Hartzog getting a hot hand in the second quarter the Gators pulled even with Jay at 20-20 at the half.
The close game continued through the third quarter as the Royals took a 32-30 lead into the fourth quarter.
Baker came out smoking in the fourth quarter as the Gators scored 10 unanswered points.
Sanders got things started with three quick points and Hartzog added a 3-point basket followed by a 2-pointer from Morgan.
The blocked shot by Sanders that led to the score by Hartzog capped the Baker run. It was all Royals the rest of the fourth quarter and into overtime as Jay came away with the win.
Hartzog led Baker with 20 points and Morgan added 19.

The Evolution of Ja Rule
Things started turning south for Ja Rule when long-time foe and fellow Southside, Queens, native 50 Cent — who Ja and and crew famously stabbed at New York's Hit Factory studio in 2000 — blew up, partly by clowning Ja and his female-focused hits on a series of mixtapes and his classic 2003 debut, Get Rich or Die Tryin'.

Getting funded by a record label
Bands usually brrow money from record labels when they are on the label to finance a tour or the making of an album. Then they have to pay this money back. Most of the times this leaves the band in debt to the label. My goal is to not go into debt with a label EVER. As a matter of fact my goal is to not go in debt in any way 99.9 % of the time.
I think that a band should find a way to where they dont have to go into debt with their label to make an album or to fund a tour or to distribute their album when they make one. I think that a band should save the money themselves to make their own albums and to finance their own tours. I think that once they get going in this way that they can keep doing this better and better with the money that they make from each new album and each new tour. That way the albums can get better production and the tours can get bigger and bigger.
I think that if a band cant afford to distribute a huge number of albums without going into debt with their label that they should just distribute all that they can until they can afford to distribute more albums. This may take longer to get albums into more fans hands but it will keep the band out of debt with the label and ultimately put more money in the bands pocket. I also feel that if a band cant fund a big tour on their own that they should start small and build it up from there until they can fund a huge tour all with their own money. Again, this would keep them out of debt with the label and this would put more money in the bands pocket.
I think that a band should not take any cash advances from a label because this is just going to put the band over a barrel with the lable for who knows how long. If a lable says that they wont sign a band if they wont go into debt with them and if the band wont take money advances from them i think that they band should not sign with them.
The way that i think is the best way for a band to be on a label is for the label to have the distribution and marketing ability to help the band. But only as so much that the band can pay for it themselves. So that the more money the band has coming in the bigger things get. But not going into debt with the label, or anyone else, to get bigger. That way the label can push the bands albums into bigger markets and advertise in bigger magazines and websites but only with the money that the band gives them.
The whole thing for me is keeping my bands that im in out of debt with labels and anyone else that way we dont end up getting messed over and that way the label does not have leverage over my bands.
What are all of your thoughts on these things?
Re: Getting funded by a record label
drummingman I really hope you don't take this the wrong but this really is one of the craziest things I've ever read on here and you are purely dreaming my friend.....
You have had very little to do with the record industry hey?
My goal is to stay out of debt, well hello welcome to the rest of the billions on this planet.........
For sure you can live without debt if you want to live in your car, never get married and reproduce................it's the big mouse wheel of life and not jumping on well is almost impossible these days I'm afraid...
Pray tell how does the band hope to fund this Tour? Do you have any idea how expensive life on the road is? Finance it yourself, you'd be saving for five years and all of the band having to live on the streets to finance this..........come five years you've missed your chance
Plus what makes you think you'll make money on tour to finance the next one!!
Seriously mate get a drawing pin and stab yourself in the arm to wake yourself up......
Mate you couldn't give the album away.............

Re: Getting funded by a record label
I'm sorry but spides666 is absolutely right. When you lean down to the conference room table to sign a contract with a record company you're automatically "in debt" to that company.
Saving up to make a record and go on tour? Never in my life have I heard of that, but if you want to go that way I suggest that you start with a couple of million dollars, not investment capital but your own money. You'll be lucky if you come out with half that amount.
It just doesn't work that way. People all along the chain expect to make money.

Re: Getting funded by a record label
I will just have to disagree with you guys. There are ways to do things that dont cause a band to go into debt to make albums and tour. The fact that most bands dont do it that way does not mean its impossible. Its just not the norm. People need to learn to think outside the box and not just do what everyone else does. This way they dont end up in debt like 99% of the bands out there today.
Re: Getting funded by a record label
Where's all the money coming from? Who's paying the people with the marketing expertise, who's paying the people who track radio stations for airplay, who's negotiating with promoters, who's paying the touring crew, who's paying for hotels and food?
If you have answers to these questions then please, share them with us.

Re: Getting funded by a record label
With the money that the band makes from the album and tours fund other albums and more tours. As the albums make more money and as the tours gross more use those funds to fund even better albums (meaning production wise) and bigger tours.
The same goes for funding advertisements and press for the band and hiring and road crew and things like that. Most small bands only take 1 or 2 extra people with them on the road at first (usually one roady and a merch person) to help out. Its very DIY and the band does most of the lugging and things like that.
I admit that i dont have all the answers by any means. I am just not content to say "every band goes in debt and so will mine". This does not sit well with me. If i find there is absolutely no other way to do it accept by going into some debt then ok. But im going to do everything i can and learn everything that i can to keep my band from going into debt before i accept that a band has to go into debt to get things done. Again, im leaning as i go but i dont think its good to just accept things in the music business just because something has always been done one way.

If you don't want to get all caught up in the music business then keep buying lottery tickets, I guess. If you win big then you can pay for everything yourself and guess what? You'll be in the music business!

Re: Getting funded by a record label
Re: Getting funded by a record label
I'm all for forging "your own path", but the constant refusal to take on ANY advice is wearing mighty thin.
Lets break a couple down, hey.
The "drumming shoes' thread: Not one solid peice of advice was taken on board. A good dozen posters told you to save your pennies, yet you'd spoken to ONE person "who said they were great" and that was enough. So I said "ok then, you sound like you're convinced, if you want them, buy them". Have you?
The "where do I move to start a christian band" thread (or threads....there were a couple). You flipped between at least 6 or 8 cities by the end. You started with one or two, then proceeded to throw darts at a board and just name one city after another. I told you how to get in contact with christian musos in each city......advise ignored. Have you moved yet? Have you made ANY attempt to find those which you seek?
The "how to make a living playing drums thread". plenty of advice offered in that one. first and foremost, was to get a band together. Again, nothing. Just solid, sound advice ignored because you "don't agree".
The "Demon Drive" thread.....in fact, two threads asking the exact same question....purely because you didn't want to accept what you heard first time round.
I like you mate, I really do (it's the sole reason why I keep posting even though it falls on deaf ears), but it's time to get real and stop wasting people's time. You get replies on all topics that are offered in good faith, by people wanting to help and wanting to see you succeed. Yet you don't act on a single thing. It's wearing thin man. At 34, it's time to get realistic......wake up and smell the roses mate. If you want to make this happen, then MAKE IT HAPPEN, but you've at least gotta make a start somewhere and it can't be done whilst your disagreeing with every single soul that is trying to help you along. Get off your computer and live a little......take the plunge and see where it leads. I don't care what you choose to do.......but please, for the sake of my sanity, just do. The constant indecision is killing me.
In good faith and with the best intentions,
Re: Getting funded by a record label
now i've never been signed by a major label, but i'm under the impression that when you sign that contract your basically an employee. they tell you when you'll be touring, when your shows are, what days and what times and they fund it. in return they take a percentage of the earnings as cost and profit and you get whats left over after everybody has taken their cut.
when you release an album they advance you the money to record, they produce those cd's, distribute them, cover all the radio play and in return they take the money that is made, deduct the advance, again take their cuts across the board and you get whats left.
i know i don't know all the facts of the contracts but i don't see being in debt to them unless you bail on a tour or fail to record your albums in which case your in breach of contract and the last thing you have to worry about then is being in debt. they take their money back before you see a penny. so i'm pretty sure your logic there is slightly scewed...
for your dreams of not being in debt, thats called starting your own label, lots of people do it. become an indie band. it'll cost you a small fortune, i've done plenty of DIY shows and their not cheap, license are a bitch, even worse if it's liquor. advertising sucks and then finding half way decent people to run the show while you play is a nightmare, bartenders who do more drinking then serving, security thats busier getting stoned out back then doing what your paying them for, decent sound guys. all that costs money and lots of it. making cd's is actually easy once you got the master recording, hell i picked up the stuff off ebay reasonably cheap and do all our own plus several other bands 1000's at a time, cost you on average $1.50 give or take 75 cents depending on the booklet and artwork and such for a retail ready shrink wrapped product. now going around to music stores especially giant chain stores is a bitch and normally takes forever just to get in contact with the proper people. it can be done all on your own if you got a ton of cash upfront and a butt load of time to dedicate but none the less it can be done.
now if you wanna sign with a label that won't give you any money and won't do jack to help you and never expects anything back from you, i do know of one........
Re: Getting funded by a record label
The title of this thread is "Getting Funded By a Record Label." But what you're saying is that your intention is to not be funded by a record label so you won't owe that record label any money.
So what would you even need a record label for, exactly?

Re: Getting funded by a record label
Take a business class, and you'll learn not all debt is bad debt.
In the personal world, sure, credit card debt can be bad for many people in their personal finances. But in the business world, debt is not just common, it's considered a part of almost any business plan.
All accounting comes down to Assets=libailities+equity, and this is true for every company in the world.
Re: Getting funded by a record label
I plan on buying the shoes.
I have chosen a city after doing a bunch of research.
I wont be getting a band together till i get to that city.
I had forgotten that i made the first demon drive thread (i did not start another one just cause i did not like what i heard in the first one).
Im not wasting peoples time. Im just seeing what they think. Does not mean that i have to agree with them. I have a plan and i am working towards that plan as is.

The way that a band ends up in debt is they get that advance and they get the tour support and then they have to pay it all back. Usually they dont make enough off of the album and the tour to do so. So they go in the hole with the label
Re: Getting funded by a record label
The whole purpose of having a label would be for promotion and distribution. As well as an in to bigger markets that would be hard for one to get to on their own. But it could be done on our own dime just through the label.

if you do ever get on this tour with no money please share how you did it because you'll become the musical equivilant of Bill Gates
Prime example here yourself
Many years ago a certain band called Def Leppard wanted 12 thousand pounds from a support band to open for them!!!!! Yep that's right they weren't paying the support band, the record label had to pay Def Leppard!!!!!! it didn't happen by the way..........
Your forgetting the biggest point of all................heard the term 'The Music Business', recall the last word there.................'Business'..............ever yone wants their coin or they wont get out of bed........
The music business is even more ruthless now, what with piracy etc most bands are living on the bread line...........fast forward twenty years they'll be no rock stars in Beverly Hills, very few anyhow
Goole an artist called Imogean Heap I think is her name............she has sold out venues here in Aus and the UK etc and couldn't afford to tour Europe...........it would have cost her twenty thousand pounds up front.............can you save that?
She couldn't................tickets for her tour were $38 or something after promoters, venue hire etc she was left with $16 of that ticket price to pay crew and her band, transport, hotels the list goes on...................Sold Out Tour and she's losing money...........
The cost of recording an album with a named producer, releasing singles, filming videos, getting airplay, promotional tours...........all this isn't just with money it's woth contacts, contacts you wont have..........
Get your calculator out mate because as far as I am aware you haven't even got a band together so why bother with this..............you haven't even got other band members on the same page as you..............
Fast foward six months ask your guitarist who works at subway how much money he can get together?

Re: Getting funded by a record label
I dont understand why it is so hard for people to understand that it is a building process. And as the band starts to make more money that will open more doors and contacts for us. We wont be starting out with a million dollors. We have to build up to that point.
Of couse its a business. But there are different ways to do business. All business is not done in the same way. There are ways to do things that a lot of epople dont do them that need to be explored.
I know Imogean Heap. i know that she has done well thus far. I think that if she keeps building it up she will get to where she can tour europe at some point. It may take some time but it can happen.
The thought of forming my own label is looking more interesting to me at this point.
Re: Getting funded by a record label
to start out small, to do a show of roughly 1000 to 2000 people, it costs me on an average of about $8000 not including alcohol and depending on just how much equipment and personnel you need for the show. now given i own my own sound system large enough to accommodate that pretty easily, i have 2 decent sound guys in my band and most of the other bands that we do this with also have several guys that can do the job, several fairly big friends that do security for free and we sell our own merch. i'd say it will probably be more then $8000. if we actually fill the place which we usually don't get 2000, average around 12-1500 per show, we sell tickets for $10-$15 depending on how many bands, usually 6-8 we can make $20,000 for a pretty good show so take out my initial investment of $8000, then wages for the people we do have to hire and all the little things, we're usually left with around $10,000 divided up between 8 bands is $1250 per band then take out what each band had to pay out of pocket for merch that didn't get sold we might make $150-200 a person after it's all said and done. results probably very but thats a rough estimate of what your looking at.
shirts cost on average $6 bucks to print, more for larger sizes, cd's if you buy i've seen anywhere from $2-$6 bucks each. if you do your own the right equipment will cost you around $2500 and supplies around $1500 for i think 1000 cd's but i'd have to double check the quantities, might be 1500.
for the most part the rest is all leg work making phone calls to city and state offices for permits, venues for rates and bookings, advertising in which ever way you can get it, placing orders and all that good stuff.
selling your cd's in stores, you'd have to call the major outlets corporate office and get their supplier, then call them and find out what you need to get them to start dealing your product which will require previous sales and demand statistics and god knows what else but your going to have to prove what you have sells and that they want it. i only deal with 2 local stores that cater to local bands so i'm not completely sure of what a full blown distributor is going to require.
there's starting small, if you can swing the money and time, go for it there's nothing stopping you from trying. but i can tell you we've lost money doing this several times and others we couldn't pull it off at all due to legal reasons others we made money so there is still no guarantee...

Re: Getting funded by a record label
The down side is, anyone can can do it, and usually do. Forming a label is easy. Making it successful is another story.
The advantage of a traditional label, even a small one, is distribution and marketing.
I've "DYI"-ed it a few times. And while there has been some success in getting the music to a certain point, it becomes apparent that even a small labels wold be a big help in getting credibility.
DJs, radio people, the public at large, are hit with 100's of submissions every week of bands who think they have what it takes. No matter how good your material is, getting people to actually pay attention is a battle.
If you present yourself as "this really good band" that's nice, but it doesn't stand out.
If you can presented as "Name label's new recording artist" then it brings more credibility which has a better chance of inspiring a person to open the package and listen to the music.
One hard aspect of not being on a label is labels send out thousands of promo compilations of all their newer bands too all the key people in your market, along with flyers, posters and such. As a DIYer, that's your competition for a person's listening time, along with all the other bands who are doing the same thing you are.
Stores (the few that still exist) aren't going to show much interest in stocking your independent CD. But they will buy stock from repeatable labels through distribution networks.
It's possible, but difficult.
And if you want to do it without debt, I hope you either win the lotto, or come from a very rich family.

I've always liked the naive way in which he ignores all the background detail.
Re: Getting funded by a record label
I can see what you want: Honest, pure-black business. Really, what you describe is the act getting the money it deserves, but even then it seems one-sided for the band.
Debt is something I'd prefer to avoid myself as well, but with all of the explanations given here, I find that unlikely.
"At the end of the day you just draw pretty pictures on a field and play some rimp ska dimps."
Re: Getting funded by a record label
Define 'successful'. If your primary goal is to be financially comfortable, why bother finding a Christian band? Just find a regular metal band. What is your main purpose for being a part of a Christian band?
And I believe that even if you are a successful Christian artist, you're still not well-known. Just look at their current top songs... How many people on this forum do you think know who Chris Tomlin, Matt Maher, or the Newsboys are? Even more so with Christian metal.
Re: Getting funded by a record label
I advise getting some reading material about the business, there are lots of good books out there; as others have said, your understanding of the realities seems a little sketchy at the moment.
Remember that advance payments to artists come in different forms, most importantly recoupable and non-recoupable. If your band gets given a non-recoupable advance then it's happy days - that payment is essentially a grant which is not to be paid back. However, whether you get this kind of payment depends on your potential selling power.
Get good before worrying about advances.
Get some touring together before courting labels. They will want to see a strong fan base. Touring can be done on a shoe string, be prepared to sleep in vans though!
Re: Getting funded by a record label
Some of the bigger rock/ metal bands that are Christain are: P.o.d, Underoath, Norma Jean, Living Sacrifice, Zao. While some of these bands are less known then others, some have been very big. So being in a Christain metal band does not mean that the band cant reach a huge level while staying true to their beliefs and to their musical vision.
Its about where my heart is at.
Re: Getting funded by a record label
I am reading a really good book called tour smart that has a lot of good info in it that i like. And i hope to read more books over the course of this year and a half (im sure i will always be reading to get a better understanding of things that i need to get better at).
I am ready to sleep in a van and on floors to make this thing happen. I want to tour and get out on the road. There are just some things that i have to take care of before i can do that.

Re: Getting funded by a record label
If everybody believed that something could not be done just because others told them it could not then where would the world be? Nowhere, thats where.
I posted this quote from paul stanley from Kiss in another thread. But i think its worth posting again for you to read:
"Listen to your inner voice. You know within yourself what you should be doing. The people around you who tell you that things are impossible are the ones who failed, and people who fail always need somebody else to cry with. Those are the people you dont need around you. You need people around you who will spur you on and will tell you what is possible".
I think this is one of the best things that i have ever heard anyone say. And its something that i think every naysayer should read and really think about. Im not trying to bust on you, like you did no me. Im saying that if you look at what can be done instead of what you think cant be done its going to get you farther in what you really want to achieve in your life. I cant change how you think (thats up to you), but i dont have to agree with how you think either.

Re: Getting funded by a record label
This is where we digress my friend. Across all your threads, I've never seen a single soul tell you straight up that "it can't be done"........never. You confuse practicality for negativity.....the two are vastly removed. A good start would be to learn the difference.
But I'll tell you this. I stopped believing a long time ago that Santa, or the tooth fairy or whatever magical entity you want to portray, was gonna just up and hand it to me on a platter, no questions asked. If you want something you've gotta get off your arse and work for it. At 34 years of age, this should be self evident.
The simple fact is, that you won't. You haven't got a band, you haven't got music, at this point in your "career" you've got nada! Get the important issues sorted first (a band would be a great start, then I'd concentrate on the MUSIC) and then worry about the "what if's".
That's pretty much all I've tried to tell you all along. Yet, those practicalities get lost in dream time and everyone gets branded as a naysayer as a result. It's so frustrating!
A successful career CAN be made, there's NO disputing that. But NOT without taking that first step. Get a band, write music, get a product that people want to hear. Until you accept that, the rest is just polite (though albeit, delusional) conversation.
Re: Getting funded by a record label
Re: Getting funded by a record label
I know its going to take hard work. There are things that i have already accomplished (like getting my music degree). I dont expect anyone to just hand me what i want to achieve.
You keep bring up my age as is if one is ever too old to be successful. This is just not true by any stretch of the imagination. Look at colonel sanders. He was cooking chicken at age 40 out of his service station( not sure if he owned the station and not exactly sure when he started cooking chicken) but he did not franchise Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants until he was 65 years old. And he did it on 105.00 from his first social security check. Then he turned around and sold the corporation for 2 million dollars. One is never too old to do something.
I am working my way towards a goal. Just because i am not there yet does not mean that i will never be there. In this time of my life i am working some things out that need to be worked out (one being a hand injury). After this season i will be moving to Atlanta to get things going there.
Your dead wrong that i wont work for what i want. And yor also dead wrong that ive got "nada". Your sitting in your ivory tower and passing judgment on me and frankly you have no idea of what you are talking about. Just because i dont have a band right now does not mean that i am not moving forward. I had a band not too long before i left virginia and moved to florida. That band did not work out. Its real easy to yack away at me on your keyboard when you dont know me personally. And you dont know where i am at and what i have done and what i am doing.
I dont have to convence you of anything. Its not important to me that i prove anything to you. Whats important is that i prove to myself that i can be successful.
I dont take kindly to be ripped up one side and down the other just because i dont agree with the masses and blindly follow what im told on the internet.

If you wanna make it, you gotta play the game.
I guess what I am trying to say is, you seem like a nice guy but you have some unrealistic ideas about life. Don't get me wrong, I am a deep thinker about things & I am out here giggin all the time, tryin to live the dream & make it too, but I am playing the game. I would rather play covers for money, & work on my original music on the side.
In an ideal utopian world things would be different, all musicians would only be creative, play what they feel when they felt like it & not worry about image or money. It sucks but that is how it works. Especially in the southeast U.S. So if opportunity knocks go for it, but don't let your ideals hold you back. Do some research on Thomas Jefferson for example of idealism vs. reality.
Re: Getting funded by a record label
And please, no one is ripping you. If you believe that then your skin is way too thin for the music business. And that's not up for discussion. That's a stone cold fact.
You want rips? Go visit an old WFD thread. This is nothing. In fact everyone here has tried to be nice to you.
Really man, what's this all about? If this is a marketing ploy there are better ways of doing that. Besides it's long past time that you show some of your music so people can objectively help you decide if all this talk is worth it anyway. Now I am of course aware that if it's not up to spec you're going to tell us we don't get that either, but at least we will know if talking to you is a waste of time and can simply ignore the next 8-10 threads you post.
But if you're sensational we can keep trying to work on you in a positive manner.
However, I will tell you this flat out. I am just now starting to know all the kinds of people you're hoping to connect with, and I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that they're going to say your presentation up to now is naive and amateurish. Sorry, but I'm telling you the truth.
Besides, if you're already on board with a plan, why aren't you out there doing it instead of wasting all this time trying to sway strangers on the Internet? Just get on it with it and prove everyone wrong.
See, I just think there's something else going on here.
I endorse Zildjian sticks because I like them.

text: Hello fellow Stephen King fans! I am thinking about reading Under the Dome. I have heard that this book is not that great but I think it might be good for me. Also, I noticed that the book is over a thousand pages (like IT) and I am not a big fan of lengthy books. I dont mind the regular 300- 500 page books but a thousand is a lot for me. I just want to know if I will be wasting my time reading this book if its crappy. I am sure it will be good but I just want to be positive that it is good. Thank you!

Paris Hilton: "I Am So in Love" With Boyfriend River Viiperi
Paris Hilton can't stop gushing about her Spanish model boyfriend, River Viiperi.
They met during New York Fashion Week in September, and she recently told Wendy Williams, "I am so in love. I feel so lucky to have met [River]. He's one of the kindest, most loyal men I've ever met in my entire life, and he treats me like a princess." Not only that, "He's the most beautiful man I've ever seen in my life."
What do they do together? Paris shared details with Life & Style. "We just love to sit in the corner and make out and dance. When I'm in the club with him, it's like no one else in the room exists — it's just us two with each other! It's romantic."
She said they have fun wherever they go. She's 32, he's 21. It's not a huge age difference in terms of how often Hollywood guys are older than the models they date, but it sounds like Paris may be aiming to start a family. "I think that's every woman's dream," she told Wendy. "I think that's the meaning of life to have children and have a family one day."
OK, but maybe not with this guy right now, considering he's really young and their favorite activity is making out in clubs. Still, it's good to hear she's happy and in love! Check out a photo of the couple making out (of course) here.

©2006 Patricia Briggs; (P)2009 Penguin
"I love this series.."
Mercy Thompson is a strong female character with a good moral code that she lives by. The story is interesting, the plots and action a plenty while keeping the main character real. She still needs to work to pay her rent; she deals with everyday issues, while also dealing with werewolves and vampires. Its a good mixture of reality and fiction and I cant' wait to read the next book in the series. I thought Lorelei King was perfect for the voice of Mercy, and she did a great job of giving the male characters different voices as well. I hope Lorelei King continues on as Mercy's voice in the other audio books, as I will be sure to buy them.
"Great Series, Great Narration"
This is a great series. I own the ebooks and have read them all. The narrator of this audio book is very good; great inflection, uses different voices for all characters and consistently follows through with them. Not all narrators do this and it makes a huge difference! The audio book really brings out the humor and gives great visual imagery as well. Narrators can make or break a series (e.g., Black Dagger Brotherhood by JR Ward - fantastic series, but the audiobooks sound like they are being read by a sports announcer and just ruin it). Some other good paranormal series that also have audiobooks with good narrators are the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlene Harris and the Rachel Morgan Series by Kim Harrison. Enjoy!
"Angst-free paranormal listen"
This book had many scenes which got my blood pressure up. The fight scenes with the werewolves and the scene with the vampires were very well written and performed. I have now ordered the rest of the books in the series and am looking forward to learning more about Mercy!
"How amazing"
I read the book and enjoyed it. And to me, the narrator makes the story even better, as she adds a certain nuance of humor, life (dare I say humanity?) to what could have been a interpreted in a very dark and dour way. Feel safe putting yourself in the hands of this author, who knows her way around telling a story, and this narrator, who does the telling justice.
"A Favorite!"
This is a book/series that I have loved for quite a while. It's probably one of my very favorite! I was thrilled when it finally came out in audio. The reader is fantastic! Now I just hope that books 2 & 3 are released on audio soon!
As a side note, please don't judge the book by the cover. It is an edgy urban fantasy, but not a romance.
"Great Story, Lots of Action, Not much romance"
I tend to read the reviews from my fellow audible listener, so I thought I try and return the favor.
I really liked this book. The main charater is very likeable. This is a hint of romance, but no action to speak of. And there is really no swearing. Hard to believe that you can actually have a great story with out it!!!!!
The narrator is great also.
Was this book worth my time and my money? YES!
"Great Paranormal Series!"
I'm so happy Audible finally got book 2 so I could start the series. The author has an interesting take on shape shifting and werewolves that I really enjoyed. I know the books get even better and can't wait to start the next one.
I also loved the reader. Too often the reader and the material just don't work together, but this is not the case with this series. I thought lorelei King was perfect for the voice of Mercy, and she did other voices, especially the male voices, very well. I'm looking forward to purchasing the entire series.
Now if Audible would only get more of Patricia Briggs -- and Sci Fi/Paranormal series by other authors, too, I'd be so happy!
"Great start to a series"
This is my first time reading/listening to a Patricia Briggs novel. I really liked the narrator alot and thought she did an excellent job with all the voices and nuances of emotion. This first book was good and the main character Mercy is a strong female but not standoffish and I liked her right away. I'd like to see more happen with some potential romantic interests as it was barely touched upon in this book. Some interesting twists to a common storyline in fantasy literature right now (vampires/werewolves/fae). I have already downloaded book #2 "Blood Bound".
Say something about yourself!
"A new favorite"
I finished listening to Moon Called and immediately bought the whole series in print and read them in a week. I then bought the audio of the 5th book of the series. To me the 1st and 5th were the best, but the whole series is extremely well done. Original and witty. Love that the female character is gutsy and independant. Romance is well integrated but definately not the focal. Could listen to this at work with out being worried about what others would over hear. Wasnt crazy about the voice of the male lead in Moon Called but for the record, by the last book this narrator was in her stride and every voice was perfectly suited to the characters. Other great thing about these as audio is that they are not that long but long enough. Best book this year that i have downloaded.

DANVILLE, Ky. At odds early and often, Joe Biden and Republican Paul Ryan squabbled over the economy, taxes, Medicare and more Thursday night in a contentious, interruption-filled debate. That is a bunch of malarkey, the vice president retorted after a particularly tough Ryan attack on the administrations foreign policy.
Not a single thing he said is accurate, Democrat Biden declared after Ryan said U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens had been denied sufficient security by administration officials. Stevens died in a terrorist attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi on Sept. 11.
Both men seemed primed for a showdown from their opening moments on stage, and neither seemed willing to let the other one have the final word.
I know youre under a lot of duress to make up for lost ground, but I think people would be better served if we dont interrupt each other, Ryan said to his older rival at one point. But both continued to do so and interrupted moderator Martha Raddatz of ABC as well.
The debate took place a little more than a week after President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney met in the first of their three debates an encounter that has fueled a Republican comeback in opinion polls.
With Democrats eager for Biden to show the spark the president lacked, he did so.
Unprompted, he brought up the video in which Romney had said 47 percent of Americans pay no federal income tax, view themselves as victims and do not take responsibility for their own lives.
Its about time they take responsibility instead of signing pledges to avoid raising taxes, Biden said of Romney, Ryan and the Republicans.
But Ryan quickly turned to dreary economic statistics 23 million are struggling to work, he said, and 15 percent of the country is living in poverty. This is not what a real recovery looks like.
Medicare was a flashpoint, as well. Ryan said Obamas health care plan had diverted $716 billion from the program for seniors and created a new board that could deny care to patients who need it.
Democrats havent put a credible solution on the table, he said. Theyll tell you about vouchers. Theyll say all these things to try to scare people.

Exfoliating creates healthy, vibrant skin, and Fake Bake Exfoliators are a must for a healthy skin-care regimen. Regular exfoliation sloughs off dead skin cells that leave your skin looking dull. Removal of these dead skin cells unclogs pores and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles as well. As a result, healthier skin cells appear on the top of your skin, giving you soft, glowing skin.
Exfoliating also makes your other skin care products more effective, allowing the skin to better absorb the product. Invest in Fake Bake Exfoliators to improve your skin-care regimen. Fake Bake Exfoliators create a soft, smooth skin base that is receptive to other skin care products. If you're going to spend the money on skin-care products, you want them to work. Starting your skin care routine with a Fake Bake Exfoliator will smooth your skin and create a surface that absorbs other products.
Even used alone, Fake Bake Exfoliators give your skin an instant makeover. If you don't have the time or money for pricey spa treatments, use Fake Bake Exfoliators to freshen your skin and give it a more youthful appearance.
Before you apply a self-tanner, you need to condition your skin so that it properly absorbs the tanning product. Fake Bake Body Polish does just that. Its natural ingredients create a silky smooth base to enhance the application of your self-tanner. Avoid uneven self-tanner application by starting every home tanning session with a coat of Fake Bake Body Polish.
The reason why Fake Bake Body Polish is effective is simple: The product does not have soap in it. Soap can dry out your skin and leave a residue that interferes with the absorption of tanning products. Ditch the soap-based product and opt for Fake Bake Body Polish to prime your skin for a self-tanning session. Fake Bake Body Polish consists of aloe and 11 other botanicals, including marigold and citrus.
These natural exfoliators serve two purposes. First, they rehydrate the skin, restoring the skin's moisture balance. The aloe and botanicals mixture also sloughs off dead skin cells, making your skin soft and smooth. Fake Bake Body Polish leaves your skin ready for an effective self-tanning session. Your well-moisturized, smooth skin will absorb the tanning product well, resulting in an even and rich color.
Fake Bake Body Polish perfectly prepares your skin for a self-tanning session. The body polish creates soft, hydrated, and youthful skin. Plus, the botanical scent leaves your skin smelling fresh. Start your self-tanning routine the right way by picking up some Fake Bake Body Polish to exfoliate your skin and encourage even absorption of the self-tanner.
