Local Business Creative Marketing Strategy
If you're having a hard time really engaging with your audience then you need to re-think your marketing strategy (check out Andres Ponciano SEO). Perhaps you need to think outside the box or do something outrageous to really get people's attention. Everyone seems to be using very similar strategies to create an online audience, send them to their website and then convert them into paying customers. The problem with this type of marketing is it's not a custom made strategy for your target market. If you use the copy and paste method, you can be sure potential customers will skip right over you.
One of the big issues we are seeing with local business marketing campaigns is that they all seem to be doing the exact same thing. If you are one of those, then you need to stop that right now. Customers don't want the same thing being thrown at them from left to right. To really stand out, the first thing you have to do is get to know your customer. Sadly, most business owners or marketing teams jump right over that part and go straight into marketing. Unfortunately, marketing to many people is a synonym for selling.
So lets first go over the basic steps of building a simple strategy to market to potential customers. Keep in mind that the strategy you use to market to your current clients should be a little different since they already know you. At least part of the strategy needs to be directed specifically to them.
1- Decide on a measurable objective.
If you don't know where you are going, you will most certainly end up there. That is not necessarily a good thing. You have to have some type of goal that can be measured. Let's say your goal for the month of May is to gain ten new clients. At the end of the month, we'll know if we did a good job of achieving that or if we need to adjust our strategy.
2- Understand your target market\ customer.
Who are you trying to attract as a customer? What kind of person? What are the age, sex, interests of your ideal customer? You have to do some in-depth research in this part. You can analyze who your ideal customer is at this specific moment and build off of that. Perhaps you are trying to attract a different type of customer. You must study them, understand them, find where they hang out online and what they read. Who do they listen to? What other websites or social platforms could you reach them on? Who could help you reach them? What type of content can you develop that would interest them?
Once you have answers to all these questions you have a better idea of what you're trying to do and with who.
3- Plan out how you will attract your new customers.
Here is where you want to make sure you get creative. It's all about understanding how your product or service really stands out from your competitors. What is unique about your company? What extra value or service do you provide?What does your company do that is much different or better than what others do? What do others do that you can make 10X better?
You'll hear marketing and advertising books constantly saying that you have to give people the benefits over the features. While that is very important, there is something that is even better. Think about the business no one knows. This is an old advertising trick from the great Bruce Barton.
A dentist doesn't make beautiful teeth. A dentist provides beautiful smiles that attract other people to his clients and as a result of that, they are more likely to have many new opportunities in romance, work and not to mention how healthy his customers look. In reality, a dentist provides a better life, full of love, romance, health, wealth and more.
Sit down and think about how you can reframe your business to be much more than just the product or service you offer. Show people how your company makes the world a more amazing, vibrant, and better place to live.

Finasteride-based treatments are best represented by the adage "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." While they can be quite effective in delaying the progression of male pattern baldness, they do very little for people that already have extensive hair loss. Nevertheless, 5AR inhibitors like Propecia and Proscar are currently the strongest weapons available to fight the war on miniaturization.
In 1992, finasteride was approved by the FDA for the treatment of Benign Prostatic Pyperplasia (BPH). In 1997 Merck and Company marketed the product as a hair loss treatment (albeit at a different dosage) after noticing its positive effects on hair growth. Thirteen years later, finasteride remains 1 of only 2 FDA approved medications for the treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia.
Method of Action
The enzyme 5-alpha-reductase is involved in the conversion of testosterone into its active form of dihydrotestosterone (DHT – the androgen primarily responsible for male pattern baldness). Over time, DHT shrinks hair follicles until they no longer produce visible hairs. Finasteride is a 5AR inhibitor. By reducing circulating levels of DHT, androgen receptors in the hair follicle are protected from its adverse effects.
Finasteride is generally administered in the form of once-daily pills. Results are not typically visible for period of about 6 months (with optimal results occurring around 12 months). After a period of 5-6 years, these results steadily diminish. Like minoxidil, finasteride is especially effective in the vertex and crown areas of the scalp. The effects of finasteride on the hairline have not been verified in any clinical setting.
Finasteride cannot be purchased without a prescription from a doctor. A month's supply of Propecia 1 mg tablets generally costs about 50 US dollars. Bulk-rates and generic versions of finasteride are also available.
Finasteride treatments are known to have many side effects ranging from gynecomastia (abnormally large mammary glands in males resulting in breast enlargement) to permanent erectile dysfunction. Consult with your doctor before adding finasteride to your regimen.

Myths that you can't sell expensive stuff when you're first beginning as an entrepreneur online.
This article is long, but has some jewels in it for the right person who's seeking them.
Selling high ticket and expensive things doesn't require you to have a degree, or some fancy title, or approval from anyone else in the world…
Only you must approve yourself to begin selling more expensive things, and you must truly believe in yourself.
When I was first getting started I landed my first big client who was (and still is) a multi-millionaire who owned a high end luxury automobile dealership.
He sold BMW's, Mercedes, Infinity's, Ferrari's, Lamborghini's, and so forth.
Well in a short time I'd come on board with him, and made a sale [completely online] for $50K for an Infinity truck – that first big sale completely changed my life.
After that sale I figured it was way easier to sell something with just knowledge information and the internet for $50K than it was for $50, and so I knew there had to be a way to keep going and get bigger clients & sales outside of selling cars.
I wanted to sell my own things, knowledge, and leverage technology…
And I knew there just had to be a way.
Then 3 months before graduating college, I decided I would put together an online seminar teaching my fellow students what I was doing to make money online – and how I'd been making enough money to buy raman noodles and beer to survive college.
So I did the seminar, turn out was great – there were roughly 80 – 100 people who showed up. Of those people, there was the CEO of a beverage company there in the front row.
Long story short he was inspired by my knowledge and decided he wanted to see if I could walk the talk.
He threw a fur cheetah mink coat at me, and said "I'd been trying to sell this for 2 years, let me know if you can sell this?"
6 weeks later that Fur Cheetah Mink coat was sold on eBay, and money was wired to his account for the sale.
It was then that he knew, I was a marketing genius he was looking for even though I was in my early 20's.
After many talks & negotiations with him I'd landed my first ever client from just my knowledge and action of IM who payed me $50K of equity in the business.
Which later doubled into $100K to help them launch the beverage and act as the internet marketing adviser and broker international deals since I'd lived in China, and can speak some Mandarin.
Since then I've worked with multi-million dollar pharmaceutical clients, fortune 500 executives, Olympic award winning song writers, and quite a few other big clients.
So what does all this have to do with you…
Here's the reality, high ticket clients are easier to work with
~ They don't require as much nurturing and support as low ticket buyers
~ They don't want to refund 5 minutes after they buy
~ And they do fun things like take you out to dinner, invite you out to party hard with them, and even send you custom made suits and jackets.
Is it harder to sell high ticket? NO – you just need to have your "stuff" together and know how to get results
Is it more work to sell high ticket clients? NO – often times it's less work if you're outsourcing, or delivering the service or offer online leveraging technology.
Are there certain requirements you have to have to sell high ticket clients? Umm… ugh…. NO – you just need to know your "stuff" and be able to deliver results for your clients FAST!
Forget what anybody else says to you about your "QUALIFICATIONS" and just hear me out…
As long as you can help someone get a result they desire, and move from point A to B – then you can sell and attract BIG CLIENTS!
So how do you sell big ticket, and what big ticket offers and services can you sell in the first place?
In this post, I want to lay out a few ways to sell expensive offers and services to big clients who will happily pay you for results.
First I do want to make a disclaimer…
The information I'm presenting to you, I didn't create by myself…
I learned this information over the years from many mentors, coaches, friends, articles, videos, membership sites, masterminds, live events, and so forth.
About 70% of the information has come from the above sources, 30% has come from long arduous roads of trial-&-error
When I say big ticket, I mean anything that costs between $3,000 – $5,000 – $10,000 – $25,000 – $150,000 and up.
I remember I bought my first big ticket course when I was 22 years old and it ran me $4,000!
Funny thing was I'd made more profits, and learned more from the information I'd applied inside of a $50 eBook compared to the $4K program lol.
That was my first big marketing lesson, and financial lesson into my wallet…
It made me realize that it's all about the perception in your marketing, and making a person believe that your offer is worth more money they're paying for it.
After this huge experience my mind was inspired to get into selling my own big ticket offers and I knew that I would one day start selling expensive big ticket offers…
Except mine would deliver and change lives like wildfire in a shorter amount of time compared to that over priced course about affiliate marketing with google adwords and clickbank.
So when it comes to big ticket, this is the real deal way to go as an entrepreneur unless you're doing software or mobile apps which both have crazy potential.
But the reason you want to focus on big ticket is because it's just better all around.
More profits, less work, more freedom, and next level business.
What's easier and better for your life…
Selling 5 clients per month at $5,000 to make $25,000?
Selling 5,000 ebooks at $5 each to make $25,000?
It's easier to sell 5 big clients at $5,000 to make yourself big money a lot easier.
Do that each month, and you'll cross 6 figures before the end of this year.
So now I want to talk about the different models you can leverage to sell high ticket offers and services…
'Oh leh do et'!
Group Coaching.
One of the most popular, most frowned upon, most infamous, most loved, hated, and most desired in the realm of big ticket sales is group coaching.
A lot of people have many different beliefs and perspectives on this topic because they ridicule and say "you coach people on how to coach other people?"
My response is I believe in helping people make an impact in the world, if you help someone who's career as a coach is to make an impact in more lives…
Then by impacting the impacters you're creating a massive ripple effect that will touch the lives of thousands and millions of people over time.
I invite you to release your pre-conceived notions about this model if you don't already practice it yourself – and open your mind to the possibilities I'm about to lay out for you.
This is where you take a group of people and coach them about 1 specific topic for 6 – 8 weeks or longer.
Most people charge between $2,500 – $5,000 if they're good at what they do…
And group coaching doesn't just have to be about making money online.
I've seen a lady teaching men how to get over fear of talking to women in 6 weeks, banking $20K per month with this model alone.
The best way to attract clients to this model is to leverage the knowledge, and quirky skills you already have and put together a webinar…
Fill it with attendees using FB ads or your email list, present your information, then offer those attendees to work with you personally in live workshops or weekly coaching for 6 – 8 weeks for $497 – $1,997 if you're just getting started.
The key is you have to be able to deliver results for your clients – otherwise DO NOT GO FOR THIS MODEL!
I've seen guys follow this model, and crash and burn when they didn't deliver to their clients.
All in all – this can set you free as it's done for a few of my clients who quit their jobs, moved into bigger houses, and even traveled to new countries.
Done For You Services.
So this is where you build someone's website, or do their SEO, or do some video editing for them.
This is a service I took on before, and made over 5 figures easy with it (more on this one coming soon).
One of my first clients invested and learned how to outsource online marketing services to big clients offline.
Long story short, she did $1,000 in her first 7 days, and it's changed her life. She's now full time online and is traveling the world now (she lives in the UK and emailed me this past weekend about traveling to Los Angeles for a live event there)
In a nutshell, you find clients who need services done for their business – you can find clients on Craigslist, LinkedIn, Facebook, and so many other places.
Then you tell them "Hey Chiropractor, how would you like to double the amount of leads and sales in your business with less work?"
A fast way if you've got some money for advertising is build a squeeze page, and send traffic from Facebook targeting these small business owners.
Build a list of niche business owners, and promote your services and valuable information and whitepapers to them.
They'll reach out to you, you tell them how you'll do it by creating optimized sales funnels, better marketing pieces online, and with the power of SEO.
Send them an agreement/contract get it signed, and do their marketing work for them.
Again, you have to be able to deliver on this service.
One of the easiest ways to get started is to find someone on craigslist, or freelancer.com, or upwork.com and have them actually do the work, while you broker the deal.
Brokering websites design, logo, SEO, reputation management, marketing funnels, FB ppc, and so forth are low hanging fruit.
You can make money this week with this model and my clients and myself have used this model successfully.
This is probably the easiest model to get started with attracting big clients and making big sales.
Fee + Royalty/Equity.
So my big client I'm working with now – our relationship is this exact model.
Except I didn't take a cut upfront simply because this business is a billion dollar brand we are collectively building that already has an exit strategy to get bought out by some of the worlds biggest brands.
It's milk made from bananas, should do well once we launch in October.
So once the IPO hits, I'll potentially walk away with a minimum of $10 million in 3 – 5 years.
We just closed our first big deal a few weeks ago, and you'll soon get a taste of it in Whole Foods, and a few other big retailers globally.
Nothing is set in stone, but after seeing the way coconut water blew up, almond milk, soymilk, cashew milk, and all the other alternative beverages – this once an offer I couldn't refuse.
All I can say is that Banana Milk is the future. 😉
But this model is where you take an up front fee, plus a cut of all the business you bring in for your client.
This model works as long as you are GOOD and know your stuff.
Do independent research to learn more about this model because again, it just flat out works.
Online Mastermind + Live Event/Retreat
So this one is where you conduct online webinars or tele-seminars for 6 – 8 weeks, then at the end of this you create a live event or a live retreat.
You invite people to come hangout with you live for a weekend.
This model is super effective because you're keeping the group tight and intimate with weekly training + interaction.
You're also building up the excitement of coming to hangout with you in person throughout the entire online training mastermind.
Also I recommend delivering 1 piece of pre-recorded content at the beginning of each week, then 1 LIVE Q&A session at the end of each week where you review your clients funnels and get your face and their face on screen.
This is something you can start by just leveraging your knowledge and inviting people to come spend time with you, after getting some awesome results with you online.
Annual Masterminds
People love to be a part of something bigger than them.
Think about all the die hard sports fans who will die for their team each Sunday.
Same goes for everything in life.
We all want to feel like we belong to something, and we love being a part of something that not everyone else can be a part of…
Hence why people love joining groups, masterminds, clubs, organizations, and so forth.
Why not you create your own mastermind for people to be a part of?
This is where things get super interesting, and fun!
This model is where you allow people to pay and join you in a year long club/group/society to learn from you, and network with other high level people.
The best part about this model, is that during the live events – you let your members do the presenting and teaching others about their business model.
They attend to network with other high level entrepreneurs, they get to teach about their proud babies that they've created (their businesses), and you get to learn so much and work wayyyyy less!
All in all it's a WIN-WIN-WIN for everyone involved!
Most masterminds will cost between $25K – $100K for the year, and that fee is paid monthly on a recurring basis.
A smart way to rock this one, is to have people pay you a big upfront fee and then make 4 figure monthly payments to stay an active member of your exclusive mastermind.
Do quarterly live events & retreats and weekly or bi-weekly live webinars will be worth it's weight in gold to the members of your mastermind.
CONSULTING will always be around, because people need to know what to do, and they are more than willing to pay you for your time and knowledge.
I've charged people $1K for consulting with me for an hour and a half, after speaking with that client he's now doing $10K per month online – which is expected ;-).
But this model is where you just exchange your knowledge and time for other people's money, doesn't get any simpler.
The only caveat about this model, is there is no infinite scalability because you only have 86,400 seconds in a day – all of which must be used to maximize your productivity.
So there you have it – you don't need a badge, or an award, or some certificate – or some old fat snobby arrogant marketing "GURU" to tell you that you can start selling high ticket.
You can literally start today by applying one of the above mentioned business models, and change your life this week.
I hope that your burning desire has been lit on fire with this post.
And if this hit's home and resonates with you, feel free to comment, and share it with someone else who needs some light on changing their life and business.
Feel free to reach out if you have questions, but this should double or triple your business in the next few weeks.
Michael "Overdeliver" Baptiste
P.S. No one is going to deem you as worthy to sell expensive stuff, you have to make the decision now, and just do it!
P.P.S. Selling expensive stuff, and working with higher level clients is easier, funner, better, less stressful, and frees up more of your time. Work with the right clients and your life will change completely.
P.P.P.S. If this article inspired you, then make sure you watch my LIVE webinar because I'm going to blow your mind with amazing value!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 11/12/2012 (1716 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
VIENNA - OPEC oil ministers have agreed to maintain their present oil output ceiling, signalling satisfaction with prices. But they have again failed to elect a new secretary general because of rivalries between Saudi Arabia and arch-rival Iran.
An OPEC statement said the ministers agreed to aim at producing 30 million barrels a day. In fact, the 12-nation organization is overproducing by more than 1 million barrels daily.
The statement also said the ministers agreed Wednesday to extend Abdullah Al-Badry's term as OPEC's secretary general for another year.
Saudi Arabia, Iran and Iraq had vied for the post, the public face of OPEC between ministerial meetings. But the rivalries between the Saudis and Iran cancelled each other out, while Iraq was viewed by some ministers as pursuing its own agenda instead of OPEC's.

Australia's Best Earplugs and Earmuffs Available at Our Store
XenonOz are Australia's leading provider of state of the art Alpine noise reduction products.

Order a pair of Alpine earplugs or earmuffs and never have to worry about damaging your hearing.
Problems that excessive noise can cause your ears
Not having proper protection from harsh levels of sound can cause irreparable damage to your ears and hearing. Some problems caused by excessive noise in the ears are:
- Noise-Induced Hearing Loss – Excessive amounts of unwanted, harsh, and loud volume in the ear over a sustained period of time can lead to Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL). You may not even realise that you are losing your hearing as it can occur over a period of time, and you may realise that you are struggling to understand people when they talk to you or you can't hear music as well as before. NIHL is becoming more common as more people have access to music playing devices and headphones with high volume capacities.
- Tinnitus – Categorised as an unwanted ringing, hissing, or buzzing in the ear, tinnitus used to only be common among performing artists such as musicians who were subjected to extended amounts of loud noises. However, now that more people are listening to music at increasing volumes on their devices, tinnitus is becoming more common amongst society.
One of the best ways you can curb the problems caused by hearing damage is to purchase a pair of state of the art noise-reduction earplugs or muffs. Check out our range of Alpine earplugs and muffs which include the SleepSoft, the MusicSafe Pro, and the SwimSafe.

Hi! I'm rather new here and have a quick question about this title thing. I don't know what to call it, but it's under a person's avatar in their posts/on their profile. Oqua's says "nose pervert" (i love that)
Mine says "not a first time poster" and I'm unsure of how to change it. I've looked through settings and couldn't find anything.
How do I change it?
*edit: now it says something different haha. Does it act as a rank or something?

Including Machine Name in form resultsAsked by windingoak on April 15, 2015 at 03:35 PM
One of my clients is being harassed by someone that's sending them bogus form submissions. I've added the referrer and IP address info into the form results but I'm wondering if it's possible to also include the computer name or "machine name" that's the sender is using for sending in these bogus form submissions.

text: The Company is now projecting adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2013 to increase approximately 17% to 21% to between $108.2 million and $111.5 million compared to its previous guidance of between approximately $102.5 million and $106.0 million.The forecasted non-GAAP net income per share and forecasted adjusted EBITDA for the full fiscal year reflect adjustments that exclude the expenses of the Vilebrequin acquisition incurred through July 31, 2012. Non-GAAP net income per share and adjusted EBITDA should be evaluated in light of the Company's financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Every mobile user would like to type in texts from a physical keyboard rather than using the usually messed up onscreen digital keypad. However they would love to explore applications and scroll through the menu tabs and buttons just by touching them on screen rather than having to use the hard joystick like control panels on the phones physical keypad.
Thus when a phone combines both of these it is guaranteed to be a head turner in the market. LG like many other manufacturers has cashed in on this new concept and has brought to light its first Touch and Type phone christened LG Optimus Pro C660.
LG Optimus Pro is a rather tentatively designed phone with a rugged look. The phone has a 2.8 inch capacitive touch screen based display that is well suited for providing a fairly good treat for your eyes.
Optimus Pro C660 is powered by a powerful 800 MHz Qualcomm MSM 7227 processor that is coupled with a 512 MB RAM. The phone will thus offer lightning quick performances over a large duration of time and will make multi tasking very easy.
LG Optimus Pro will be expected to pose a major challenge to similarly priced phones from Nokia, Samsung and Motorola and as such it is packed with a long list of interesting specs. These include support for various multimedia and entertainment specs. The phone has playback support for music and videos in a variety of formats besides offering and FM radio and 3.5 mm universal audio jack sound connectivity.
The phone comes out with a VGA camera at its rear. It does not have a secondary camera for allowing video call facility.
The phone also spots lots of modern day connectivity options like Bluetooth, USB PC Sync and also comes equipped with Wi-Fi internet connectivity. The phone has 2G and 3G internet connectivity.
The notable LG Optimus Pro features are;
- Android Gingerbread OS
- Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
- Expandable memory of 32GB
- 3 Mega Pixel camera
- Java
LG Optimus Pro C660 is expected to be priced around Rs 13000 and is expected to hit Indian markets by the end of 2011.

Better sound for your concert videos
Great concert moments have made a big impact on many people's lives and we all love to relive and share these personal memories with our friends and families.
But capturing the moment with our mobile phone most often ends up with poor sound quality, making it hard even to recognize the song.
Livetake is the app that creates a strong Fan-Artist relationship, making it possible for the fanbase to create and share personal memories in high quality. How? By matching the video with quality sound recorded from the mixing desk.
By encouraging concertgoers to share quality videos with the band and others, the artist gets valuable promotion and can pick the best moments from all the fan recordings.
While waiting in the concert queue, the audience receives content from the band, such as videos from the tour bus or from the sound check.
The concertgoer records the concert either by using the Livetake™ app or by importing videos into the Livetake app.
When the concert ends, the videos are automatically synchronized with quality band sound. The videos can be edited and composed with other videos from the concert before sharing on Livetake, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and Instagram.
To deliver high quality band sound to the audience, the sound engineer will Livetake™ Engineer for iPad. The app provides a simple and automized solution to record, post-process and deliver synchronized audio to the audience with a minimal effort for the sound engineer.
Livetake™ Engineer can be used for all kind of setups: from a full-blown live band setup, to electronic music and DJ setups. By connecting a suitable audio interface, any number of tracks can be recorded and the post-processed audio can be made available with a single click.
The Livetake Suitcase can be ordered with or without equipment. In case you already have some equipment, you can pick what should be in your suitcase:

Well, it has to travel along the electrified barbed wire that keeps the dang sheeps in Montanar where they belong.
Not to seem like I am indulging in schadenfreude - but it's t-shirt weather here in london. The next two weekends are both long weekends with public holidays so everyone on is praying the good weather continues; but we all know in our heart of hearts that this is england and it will be raining over the holidays
Mrs G is visiting her parents in Scotland during May, so we hope the weather says good.The UK weather is really quirky. May and early June can be fabulous. July and August tend to suck. Then it gets better in September.
Speaking of weather....Can someone please teach Geezer how close the gates?It's snowing here. AGAIN!!!

On the first Saturday of the new year, a cold day indeed, my girlfriend and I headed down to Clarksdale to eat at Levon's and enjoy some blues at Red's Juke Joint. This was our first occasion trying Levon's, and in my opinion, it is the fine dining restaurant that Clarksdale has been needing. R. L. Boyce was playing at Red's, but when we arrived, some of his musicians had not shown up, and there wasn't much of a crowd. But Arkansas bluesman Lucious Spiller has recently moved to Clarksdale from Little Rock, and he agreed to go get his guitar and amp to play with R. L., and soon there was at least a trio of two guitars and a drummer. On some tunes, R.L.'s daughter joined him on stage playing the tambourine and dancing, and toward the end of the evening, they were joined by a musician playing a bass made out of a plastic bucket, a mop handle and a string. By then the crowd had grown fairly large, despite the cold weather outside. It was a great way to start off 2017- with the blues.
R. L. Boyce & Lightnin Malcolm Live at Antone's
When a young Lebanese man from Port Arthur, Texas named Clifford Antone got kicked out (or perhaps dropped out, depending on who you ask) of the University of Texas after a marijuana arrest in 1970, it seemed like an end to a promising career. The Antone family were prominent businessmen in Houston, owning an import firm and a chain of sandwich shops that specialized in po-boys. Other young men might have fallen into a depression, or started on a downward spiral into harder drugs and ruin, but Clifford Antone decided to open a night club. Yet when Antone's opened in 1975 on a then-moribund East Sixth Street in downtown Austin, it was hardly the kind of club that people would have expected success from, for it was a blues club, and the blues revival had fizzled out by the end of the 1960's. Nor was Austin well-known for blues, despite a Texas blues legacy that was primarily centered around Houston. But all of the best names in blues from around the country played at Antone's, and by the time of Clifford Antone's death in 2006, his empire had added a record store and a record label as well. The record store belongs to other owners now, and the record label was sold to Warner Brothers after a bankruptcy, but the club, despite occasional closures and numerous relocations, remains the absolute best blues club in Texas, and probably one of the best blues clubs in the world. So it was quite an honor for Hill Country bluesman R. L. Boyce to be invited to play there, along with Marshall County bluesman Lightnin' Malcolm, who has increased in popularity over the last several years. The club was packed to overflowing, despite the cold, rainy weather, and the crowd enjoyed every minute of the proceedings. The drum chair was held by the late T-Model Ford's grandson Stud Ford, and R. L.'s daughter Sherena provided the juke joint dancing and played the tambourine. Seen in the crowd was noted music journalist Matt Sonzala. It was a great night indeed.
Live Jazz on Sundays at Midtown Crossing Grill
Jazz is not an immensely popular music style in Memphis, so opportunities to hear authentic jazz in our city are few and far between, but some local jazz musicians are branching out and starting their own events. Recently, jazz saxophonist Kelvin Walters and drummer James Sexton have started holding jam sessions on Sunday evenings from 5-8 PM on the first three Sundays of each month at the Midtown Crossing Grill in the burgeoning Crosstown neighborhood one block over from the venerable Hi-Tone Cafe. The building where the grill is located has been all kinds of things, once having been home to Bobby Q's barbecue restaurant and later Foxcee's Sports Bar. As a jazz venue, it has the necessary intimacy, and despite its small stage area, it functions fairly well. Walters is at a young age already a decent saxophonist, and James Sexton is one of the city's best drummers, and the jam session format gives young musicians from Memphis an opportunity to hone their skills in a performance setting in front of an actual crowd. As for the food offerings, the Midtown Crossing Grill has artisan pizzas, and they are pretty decent and reasonably priced. The jam session is not held on the fourth Sunday so as to not conflict with the monthly Sax on Sundays event at Neil's out in East Memphis, which is another opportunity to hear jazz in Memphis. Take advantage of these events and enjoy.

A Death In The Delta: Tallulah's Tragic Decline
In my childhood, Interstate 20 east ended at Waverly, Louisiana, which I remember as a railroad crossing with a store (where we would stop for refreshments) and a post office. From there we would have to take old Highway 80 into the town of Tallulah, Louisiana, as we journeyed toward my mother's parents house in Gulfport, Mississippi, or sometimes to our family reunion in Jackson. I always liked Tallulah. It probably would have been around 1973, and I was six years old. Jean Knight's "Mr. Big Stuff" would have been on the radio, or maybe Bread's "Make It With You", and I recall the brightly-lit multicolored Christmas trees in the bayou that bisected the little town. Everything seemed quiet and peaceful. Little did I know of another side to Tallulah, more wild and exuberant on the west side of the tracks. There along West Green Street, blues came from jukeboxes or on the bandstands at the Sportsman's Club, the Fun House, the Green Lantern. Musicians were grabbing dinner at the Hotel Watson before heading to the gig. A few blocks to the north of Highway 80, perhaps the thunderous funk of drum cadences rocked Reuben McCall stadium, or the melodious sound of trumpets and trombones, as the neighborhood turned out for a football game. At the massive Chicago Mill and Lumber Company, a whistle sounded to mark the hustle and bustle of shift change. The West End of Tallulah was a world that six-year-old me knew nothing about.
The first thing that I saw approaching Tallulah from the west along Highway 80 was the large, barb-wire-enclosed hulk of a prison looming to the right of the road. The Chicago Mill and Lumber Company had closed for good in 1983, but it had been laying off employees since the 1970's. By 1994, with the town of Tallulah really desperate, town and state leaders announced the opening of a private juvenile prison which would provide badly needed jobs. But the Tallulah Correctional Center for Youth proved to be a disaster. Many of the jobs paid only $6 an hour. Two massive inmate riots occurred within the first two months the facility was open. And disturbing allegations of beatings, rapes and solitary confinement started to filter out from the institution. The state took control of the facility in 1999, but things improved little. The youth facility was closed in 2004, and then, against the wishes of Tallulah residents, it was converted into a prison for adults. It sits directly on the site of the lumber mill that was for so many years Tallulah's largest employer.
In the neighborhood to the north of Highway 80 are many small, mostly well-kept homes, but interspersed with them are boarded-up school buildings. One of them, the Madison Alternative School is the former Madison Middle School, which before that was Reuben McCall Junior High School. It was abandoned when Madison Middle School was built next to the new Madison Parish High School far to the south along I-20. Further up, on Wyche Street (named for the first Black police chief of Tallulah, Zelma Wyche) are the sprawling ruins of Reuben McCall High School, which was the Black high school in Tallulah prior to integration. But integration never really happened in Tallulah. Although the town had barely 10,000 people, the decision was made to keep both Tallulah High School (the former white high school) and McCall High School open, with students having the right to choose either. Of course no white children chose to go to McCall, and only a handful of Blacks chose to go to Tallulah High at first. But any integration was too much for a number of whites in Tallulah, and the majority of white students soon left the public schools for Tallulah Academy. Eventually both public high schools were majority-Black. By 2005, the Madison Parish School Board could no longer keep them both open. For one thing, both campuses needed replacing, and for another, enrollment was continuing to decline. They had already closed all-Black Thomastown High School in 2001, merging it with McCall, and decided in 2005 to close Tallulah High School and merge it with McCall to form a new school called Madison Parish High School. For one year the new school used the buildings and ground of McCall High School before moving to a new facility built along I-20 south of town. The McCall campus was abandoned, vandalized and ultimately boarded up.
Abandoned schools are not unusual in Louisiana sadly, but abandoned football stadiums are much rarer. That being said, the abandoned stadium across the street from Reuben McCall High School is a sad and haunting place indeed, with the grass and brambles growing up through the bleachers. Walking past the brick wall where McCall championships were commemorated in paint just made the whole thing that much sadder. The old scoreboard still sits at the end of one endzone, while a strangely twisted goalpost marks the other. The pressbox is open and at the mercy of the weather, and one can only imagine what the place must have been like in its heyday, with the drums booming, horns blowing and the crack of helmets hitting on the field below. Neighborhood kids could have walked to the games back then. Now the whole place lies silent and forgotten.
Highway 80 on the West End of Tallulah is known as West Green Street, and the latter was once an entertainment destination, but little remains today. The Fun House and Sportsman's Lounge are both abandoned and long-closed, victims of a great migration of Tallulah's Black community that has been going on since the 1950's, seeing vast numbers leave Louisiana for the West Coast. Nearly 2,000 moved out just in the years between 2000 and 2010. Down the street closer to downtown, the Hotel Watson remains intact and in good shape, although no longer open for business as a hotel. Built in 1957, the hotel was Black-owned, a reliable place for good food or a comfortable room, and well-known entertainers often stayed there when performing or traveling in the area. Today it seems to function more as an apartment building. In other parts of the West End, a few juke joints and bars still remain. Wilmore's Lounge and Game Room draws a crowd on weekends, and the Hole In The Wall might just be the smallest night club in the world. One wonders if it was the club Mel Waiters wrote the song about, or if the Tallulah club was named for the song.
Downtown Tallulah hasn't fared much better than the West End. The city was once home to America's first enclosed shopping mall, Bloom's Arcade, but shopping and retail fled the town during the 1970's and 1980's. Today nearly every storefront on Snyder Street is vacant. A few have only empty facades, with the rest of the building crumbled behind the front wall. Even the venerable Tallulah Club is empty and for sale across from the Madison Parish Courthouse. One thing that hasn't changed from my youth: the metal Christmas trees decorated with lights are still sticking up out of Brushy Bayou as if it were 1973 all over again.
Looking at so many ruins and so much abandonment left me frankly depressed. The only relief I found was in the colorfully-dressed, boisterous groups of young people that wandered most streets or rode on bikes through the otherwise drab neighborhoods. Their exuberant voices carried on the warm, Sunday afternoon breezes as they headed to parks and basketball courts. Tallulah's greatest resource at this point might be its youth- the community turns out excellent athletes and musicians. Not only does Madison High School have one of the region's best marching bands, the Soul Rockers of the South, but Tallulah has a number of talented rappers, rap groups and singers. But, unfortunately, the young people from Tallulah are generally already planning to leave- the Delta town with such a storied past has little future, at least not for them.
Football & Funk At Grambling Homecoming
The name Grambling was familiar in my youth, more than likely because my dad was quite the NFL fan, and the little historically-Black college in the Piney Woods of North Louisiana had sent an incredible number of athletes to pro football. It also just so happened that we used to pass it all the time as we traveled from our home in Dallas to my grandparents' home in Gulfport, Mississippi, or our annual family reunion in Jackson. But Grambling State University would come to my attention first through a movie called Grambling's White Tiger about Jim Gregory, the first white football player to play for Grambling and its famous coach Eddie Robinson, and later a Coca-Cola commercial featuring the World-Famous Tiger Band further grabbed my attention. So when our family quit having our family reunions in Jackson in the fall of 1993, I made plans to go to Grambling's homecoming instead. I ended up having so much fun that I have gone almost every year since then.
If Grambling is best known for football, it also has a long tradition of excellence in music, particularly its marching band. Tradition has it that the first band instruments were purchased on credit from Sears & Roebuck by Dr. Ralph Waldo Emerson Jones, who was the president of what was then called Louisiana Negro Normal and Industrial Institute. Jones is said to have directed the band himself, although music education was not his field. Grambling's excellent band tradition means that a lot of the country's best Black high school bands come to the annual homecoming parade, determined to show their talent. Many bands from Louisiana come, like Lake Charles' venerable Washington-Marion, Alexandria's Peabody, or Tallulah's Madison. Bands also come from Texas, and from further afield, occasionally coming from University City, Missouri or Tulsa, Oklahoma. Unlike the previous year, the weather this year was perfect for a parade, and a large crowd turned out to enjoy the bands and floats.
The football game in the afternoon was the occasion for a battle between two of the Southwestern Athletic Conference's best bands, the Marching Musical Machine of the Mid-South from the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, and the World-Famed Tiger Marching Band from Grambling. The two bands battled back and forth throughout the first half of the game, as did Grambling's Chocolate Thunder drumline and UAPB's K.R.A.N.K. drumline. Outside the stadium were the acres of tailgaters, many with mobile homes or tents, some with DJ's and most with barbecue grills. It was all in all a great day with good football, good music, good food and good fun.
Celebrating The Legacy of Como, Mississippi
Como, Mississippi is an historic town in far north Panola County, Mississippi on the edge of the Hill Country. Because it sits near the border between the Delta and the hills, Como has some of the ambiance of both regions, and has long been a center of blues and Black fife-and-drum music. Legendary bluesman R. L. Boyce calls it home, and his mentor, Mississippi Fred McDowell chose it after he moved to Mississippi from West Tennessee. What was once a faded, dying town when I first saw it as a boy has had some renewal since the opening of Como Steak House some years ago, and now each year, the history and traditions of this unique Mississippi town are celebrated in October at an event called Como Day. This year's event featured plenty of good food and vendors, classic cars and motorcycles, and several different genres of music, including performances by the Southern Soul Band, Sharde Thomas and the Rising Star Fife and Drum Band and southern soul artist J-Wonn. Perhaps the highlight of the evening was the screening of Shake "Em On Down, a documentary about Mississippi Fred McDowell, arguably Como's most famous resident. Through music clips and interviews, the story of this most important Mississippi bluesman was vividly and skillfully portrayed. Altogether, hundreds of people enjoyed a full day of fun in Como.
Celebrating The Legacy of R. L. Burnside at Hernando's Front Porch Jubilee
The Clifton Gin was a large building that loomed over the West End neighborhood of Hernando, Mississippi where many blues musicians lived and played their trade in nearby jukes. The Rev. Robert Wilkins, Gus Cannon and Jim Jackson all lived in the area for a time, and Mississippi Joe Callicott was from nearby Nesbit, Mississippi. Now each year, the city of Hernando commemorates that musical legacy with an event called the Front Porch Jubilee, held on the grounds of the historic gin, as part of Hernando's larger Water Tower Festival. This year's jubilee honored the legacy of the late R. L. Burnside, and members of the Burnside family were presented with a plaque. Performers included Jack Rowell and Triple Threat, Desoto County native Kenny Brown, who was mentored by both Joe Callicott and R. L. Burnside, Duwayne Burnside, Lightning Malcolm, rockabilly legend Travis Wammack, and R. L. Burnside's grandson Cedric, performing with Trenton Ayers as the Cedric Burnside Project. In addition to the great music, there was a considerable amount of great food too, including some excellent pulled pork and the homemade ice cream from Senatobia-based Bliss. A warm afternoon turned to a chilly evening, but a stalwart crowd of about a hundred stayed to the end of Cedric's last set. It was a great day of blues in Hernando.
Memphis Drummers Compete at Guitar Center
Cedric Burnside Live at Proud Larry's On Oxford's Biggest Day
Oxford was absolute pandemonium. The Crimson Tide of Alabama had come to town to play Ole Miss, and the result was the largest football crowd ever recorded in the history of Oxford as a town. Streets were gridlocked, and in the area around the courthouse square, streets were closed altogether. Parking was practically non-existent. So when my girlfriend said she wanted to go hear Cedric Burnside at Proud Larry's, I envisioned a nightmare of no parking, and drunken, rowdy crowds that wouldn't let us anywhere near the stage. Fortunately, I was wrong on both counts. We managed to find a parking place up on the hill by the Parks and Recreation office, and while Proud Larry's was indeed crowded, it was not outrageously so, and many of those there were friends and relatives of Cedric Burnside. As for Cedric and his sidekick Trenton Ayers, they seemed to feed off the crowd's energy, performing two rousing sets of Hill Country standards and originals before the closing hour of 12:30 AM. It was well worth the effort.
An Endangered Memphis Black Drumming Tradition Featured at MMHF 2016
Drums have played an important role in all Black musical cultures, and Memphis is no exception. Although Blacks were forbidden to have drums prior to the Civil War in almost all Southern states other than Louisiana, they quickly became an important part of Black musical life during Reconstruction, being used in the brass bands and fife-and-drum bands that accompanied fraternal organization parades or picnics, political rallies and funerals. Many of these organizations had been founded by Black troops that had fought in the Civil War on the side of the Union after the Emancipation Proclamation, and undoubtedly some of these men had been drummers. The all-Black colleges and schools that began to form during and after Reconstruction also had marching bands with percussion sections as well, and this tradition had an influence on Black communities in the South. By the waning years of the Civil Rights Movement, a new interest in Black culture and its African roots may have led to the formation of the majorette and drummer phenomenon in Memphis which emerged around 1969 or so. Although Black high schools and colleges had always had majorettes and drummers as part of their bands, the phenomenon where majorettes performed competitive routines accompanied only by the drummers was new, and perhaps unique to Memphis. As the years progressed, the drummers added some innovations, like the use of marching toms and eventually roto-toms, to add different layers of pitch to the percussive musical landscape, and the addition of hi-hat cymbals, so as to approximate the sound of a drum set. The accompaniments were often influenced by funk or Latin music, but aside from occasional melodies played on the glockenspiel, the musical backing for these routines was strictly drums, and the drummers were judged as well as the majorettes. This musical and cultural phenomenon was so much a part of my teenage years in the 1980's that it was unthinkable that it could ever disappear, and yet nowadays the majorette jamboree as it existed then is largely a thing of the past, the drummers having been replaced by recorded CD's of popular songs played by a DJ. There are lots of theories as to why the majorette drumming phenomenon has died in Memphis, but some of them point out the lack of instruments and high expense of drums, the discouraging of the tradition by school principals and band directors, the lack of available drum instructors, the banning of majorettes and drummers from local community centers (apparently due to the noise involved with their practices), and the negative influence of the streets and gang activity causing lack of interest on the part of young men. For whatever reason, the Black drumming tradition in Memphis is certainly endangered, but at least one organization, the Baby Blues Drumline, has worked over the last few years to try to preserve this culture. Often appearing at the Juke Joint Fest in Clarksdale, Africa in April on Beale Street or the Memphis Music and Heritage Festival, they frequently draw a crowd of onlookers. At this year's Memphis Music and Heritage Festival, they were a featured act, appearing briefly at the Gayoso Street Stage on Sunday afternoon before a small but appreciative crowd.

Inhumans vs X-Men #1
Review by RobF
The time for talking (and experimenting) is over; it's time to fight. In one corner we have Marvel's bastard children, the X-Men. In the other corner we have Marvel's new favorites, the Inhumans. Only one group can survive the battle. Writers Charles Soule, Jeff Lemire and artist Leinil Francis Yu present a battle for survival where no one truly wins.
Desperate times for desperate measures. That's the overall feeling of the mutants. Hank McCoy, the Beast, has tried and failed to curtail the Terrigen Mist problem. The mutants have run out of time and patience and have formulated a plan of war to save their existence.
In this first issue, it's the X-Men who draw first blood. The three most powerful Inhumans (Karnak, Black Bolt, and Lockjaw) have been neutralized. But this series is far from over and I am sure the Inhumans will strike back; it's just a matter of where and when.
This series has the emotional gravity that Civil War II could never attain. There are some extremely high stakes here, a matter of survival for mutantkind. For the Inhumans, they are protecting their future. The mists are who they are, and they will die to defend it. You can't get any more serious than this. It's hard to choose a side.
I have never been a fan of Leinil Yu's art and this issue does nothing to change my mind. His backgrounds can be sloppy and unclear. His coarse style isn't generally well-suited for dialogue-heavy comics and I think it doesn't work here.
After a lackluster Civil War II, the Inhumans vs X-Men starts off strong. Both sides have made a case for their existence and neither will back down. Let's hope the momentum continues.

Ultimates 2 #1
Review by Sankalp G.
The Ultimates are back and they are bringing with them more mysteries, a new leader, new adventures, and a new look! Ultimates 2 feels like they never entered Civil War 2 tie-ins, which disrupted the flow and the story Al Ewing wanted to tell.
I have already stated before that I love the stuff Marvel likes to do with their multiverse. The first panel in this series displays the chained/caged Eternity, which is screaming; the
multiverse is screaming. There is definitely something wrong going on and some big powers behind it.
Blue Marvel gets a glimpse of it. He is interrupted by Anti-Man. Yes, he is back. He traps both Monica Rambeau and Blue Marvel in some type of force field. Next there is a reunion between Black Panther and Captain Marvel, both under cover. U.S.A. wants to have a relationship with Wakanda but not through the Ultimates.It is stated that if the Ultimates reunify again, then it will be considered treason for Captain Marvel. There are logical reasons given by the Wakandan Prince why the Ultimates disbanded and why they cannot reunite instantly. Anti-Man also goes there, traps these two and transports all four of them to some pocket reality.
The lifebringer Galactus recruits them to serve him and solve the problems of the universe and get rid of the darkness in the universe by unchaining Cosmos. Captain Marvel disagrees to work under Black Panther, stating he planned this all just to have them come back together. Ms. America arrives to tell the Ultimates that she is their leader and they will follow her, not Black Panther.
I am very happy where this series is going. In a preview of things to come, they also put down a glimpse of Ultimate Reed Richards with the Ultimate Universe and Molecular Man arresting Captain Marvel. Sounds confusing,right?
The art is the best thing which has happened with this soft reboot. I stated last time that series like this requires a different style than Rocafort, who is better suited for fights and action scenes rather than visuals which were offered by the Ultimates. The new art team has done a fantastic job and have nailed the look. This book will be on my pull list even if it underperforms, just because of the gorgeous art alone.

Wrath of the Eternal Warrior #14
Review by Jonathan Durden
As the conclusion of this run of Eternal Warrior, I have to say I'm not satisfied and I hope Venditti and Gill and Spicer will all return for another run in the future. I mean, there is still a rather conspicuous loose end, right? Or am I missing something?
The enemy from the Labyrinth, called the Dying One, is still at large in a new body. I would have thought that if anything Valiant would have put the comic on a hiatus while Venditti works on other projects. I hope that is still the case and that he will wrap things up with the enigmatic adversary.
On the other hand, this redemption-filled arc wherein Gilad rescues and repairs his relationship with his firstborn son Kalam has been nothing if not compelling. This issue I am overall happy with. If it were contained to this plot of Gilad repairing his relationship with Kalam instead of throwing in the big baddy, this ending would have tied it all together perfectly, but it may not have been as gripping without Gilad having gone through the Labyrinth.
Not only that, but having the Dying One reveal his connection with Kalam made it that much more emotionally compelling when Gilad went through the hell he went through to find and rescue him. The time jumps used in the issue were perfect and added to the emotional value of the conclusion, which is exactly what I wanted out of this arc. Gilad lugging the Pale Herder's head across the Salt Dunes with his son resting on top, weary from fighting the hordes of the Herder's minions, was a particularly riveting visual.
The brief reconciliation between Humongous and Gilad was also a nice touch. I think there is so much more that can be done here, and I just hope Robert Venditti will be the one to continue it along with Robert Gill and Michael Spicer. They have been such a great team and their collaboration is seen clearly in the pages of Eternal Warrior. I will miss seeing new issues by this marvelous crew in my pull list.
Finally, the reparation of Gilad's relationship with Leena, and his peaceful ending with his family Beyond the Veil of Life and Beyond Time. A great picture of harmony. Still, I think there is work still to be done for Gilad, when he has to face the Dying One again…

Death of Hawkman #3 (of 6)
Review by Stephen M. Lyon
Death of Hawkman is a mini series that I've been enjoying for the last couple months. This review is more of a continuation from my reviews of the first than it is a stand alone review for my summary of the first 2 issues, check out The 411's Comic Reviews from November 10th.
This issue begins the same way that each of the first 2 issues began, with a look at the present followed by a flashback. It begins back on Thanagar in a war zone, with Hawkman killing a combatant, and Adam Strange struggling with it. Hawkman gives a stereotypical line about this being war, gives strange a weapon, and then rests, leaving Strange on watch duty. Strange ponders his situation, and flashes back to when he teleported via Zeta beams to Thanagar and surprised Hawkman in his home. He makes Hawkman aware of the attack on Rann, and the fact that the Rannians seem to be excited to jump into war. He also reveals an image that he has discovered of an unidentified party on Rann who may have been involved with the attack; it's revealed to be (SPOILER ALERT!), the infamous villain from the planet Kalador, Despero! Hawkman is skeptical, as the Justice League sealed him in a cell on earth, in a comatose state. Strange understands the concern, so they call Cyborg, who goes to investigate himself, and finds that someone else's body is in the cell that Despero is supposed to be occupying. As the investigation on earth is going on, the Thanagarian police put out an alert for Strange, who escapes along with Hawkman, making them both fugitives. All the while, the reader is given a glimpse at the actions of the Rannian council, and they doubt his wife's ability to be fair, should Strange be a traitor (as they are beginning to suspect, due to his travel to Thanagar post-bombing). The book ends with Hawkman and Strange leaving Thanagar, heading to Kalador; the Rannian council finds out that Strange is leaving with Hawkman, resulting in them assuming Strange is on the side of the Thanagarians, and a bounty being put on their heads by none other than Strange's wife.
I'm appreciating this take on a classic comic book story; 2 heroes from opposing sides working together to pursue truth, while their compatriots assume them to be traitors to the cause. The art in this series as been fantastic; nothing particularly innovative, but good art doesn't have to be – this is timeless comic book artwork that will never go out of style. If I had a complaint, it would only be that the story progresses too little in each installment; this could probably work in a 4 or 5 issue mini-series, with just adding a few pages at the end of each. That being said, it's still on my pull list, so I guess stretching it out makes sense from a financial perspective, if people will still read it. I'm looking forward to seeing how the story progresses.

But they are gaining increasing attention across the world as oil prices rise and the need for cheaper and more climate-friendly energy alternatives grows. Now European delegates are meeting in the Netherlands for a convention aimed at finding the most efficient ways to produce biofuels. The meeting comes as many European farmers lobby for more government investment into the fuels. But what benefits the farmers, could threaten the livelihood of many needy people in developing nations throughout Africa and Asia. Al Jazeera's Charlie Angela reports from the UK.Source: Al Jazeera
