"The approach to selling is an insult. By the time I left I had 8 different prices. I guess I i stayed long enough you would have paid me to buy the car. I am not accustomed to that hind of "horse trading" from a high end dealership. Very disappointed."

Room was spacious and very clean.
We had a room towards the back of the Hotel. There was a Wedding on that night but it did not disturb us at all. Traffic noise non existent considering it is sited on a main road. Staff friendly and accommodating.

value - great location
We stayed just one night but it was fantastic value and no complaints - fab breakfast too!!!!!
One night in Arundel
My partner and I used The White Swan as our base of operations as we were out in Arundel for the evening at the China Palace.
The staff were excellent and very welcoming, the Pub/Hotel looks modest from the outside but inside is well appointed and nicely presented. The room was as expected for the price paid, clean and tidy with a good en suite and a lovely power shower. We had a small lunch on arrival as we were eating out that night, the food was very good and reasonably priced, breakfast was also plenty and of good quality. My two gripes, and reason for marking the room down are:
That in this day and age you would expect Wi-Fi to work in the rooms,we had an I-pad which my partner wanted to use whilst I had one of my looooong baths and our phones with us but none of this worked in our room as we were 'out of range' which is odd as we were in Room 4 which is closest to the bar area which had excellent Wi-Fi?. The TV in the room also seemed to suffer with poor signal and was rendered virtually unwatchable due to freezing and skipping. My second issue, and this could be resolved by booking with care, is that there was a wedding party there on the same evening, and if you're in the rooms on the right side of the building you might as well be in the party itself...this went on until midnight. You can (and we did) close the window to try to reduce the noise but the rooms are VERY warm even with the radiator off so this isn't ideal, you just swap one reason for not sleeping for another. Overall it is a nice place to stay and I wouldn't hesitate to go there again...I'd just consider my booking date more carefully next time.

The White Swan Inn
Our room was comfortable and quiet.
The bathroom was good and the shower was strong and hot. We ate in the restaurant and although the food was very good, we waited a long time for our meal.

My review
So good we booked another night.
Room was spacious, comfortable and clean with a nice en suite. Staff were friendly and helpful. Ambiance was relaxed and the bar rooms are very nice with tasteful rustic-style decor. Choice of breakfasts was superb (at least 6 different types of breakfasts on offer) and staff happy to cater for any variations which were not on the menu. We had an evening meal there and the food was good and again a good choice. Prices for main course are between £10 and £15 and portions are very generous. There are options for snacks or smaller dishes.
Our only criticisms: soaps, shower gels, etc were not very generously supplied in our room and were not replenished after the first night . TV reception was poor on some channels but we were still able to watch TV ok.
Overall we really liked staying at the White Swan. We were travelling around a bit and had stayed in 2 B&B's before this and the Swan was by far the nicest place, but also the most expensive.

We will be back
Very pleasant stay with excellent bathroom facilities.
We will stay here again when we next need to visit the area. The food was good and plentiful, and at least while we were there no screaming kids.

We had a comfortable stay, the room & bathroom were very clean.
The food in the restaurant was served quickly and was extremely tasty and great value for money. We had a lovely full English breakfast both mornings. Only issue we had was there was a function on one of the nights and our room was right above it, it was very loud music so we couldn't relax or go to sleep until well after midnight and some of the party people were staying over so there was a lot of banging doors as they went back to their rooms. My husband spoke to the night staff who apologized, however couldn't do anything as there were no spare rooms to move us too. We were told there was a function when we checked in & that our room was above it, however obviously that was too late for us as we had already booked. In any case the staff were always courteous and helpful, wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

Lovely hotel. Shame about the noise
We were thrilled by the appearance .
The room was clean and comfortable. We had dinner down in the bar area, this was nice. The problem was the noise from the function that was going on downstairs.we were warned by the receptionist but this did not prepare us for the onslaught of the birdy song et al until 12 midnight

Lovely Atmosphere
What makes the difference at this hotel is that the staff go the extra mile for you without you even asking.
They seem genuinely happy to be working there which results in a great atmosphere and brilliant customer service which really is priceless. The only drawback for me at the time was no wifi in the room - I chose a hotel that would have this, but they had internet problems in the rooms which made things very difficult for me to work, which I could only do in the bar / restaurant area.
Some of the food was amazing but the dessert menu needs serious rethinking: far too many flavours in each thing, for example (from the menu): Chocolate and blueberry gingerbread tart, Blackberry and cinnamon cheesecake. Didn't detract from a lovely stay though. Thank you!

Family tribute to Cumbrian woman found dead
Last updated at 11:54, Thursday, 15 November 2012
THE family of a woman found dead in her home in Cumbria have paid tribute to a "beautiful, caring" woman.
Demi Burns, 21, from Workington, was found dead in her home address in Newlands Gardens, Workington, on November 11.
Miss Burns family said: "Demi was a beautiful, caring young woman who was loved dearly by all her family and friends. She always put others before herself and adored her family, especially her mam, gran and pop.
"The hole in our lives she has left will never ever be filled, the light in our hearts has gone out forever. We will miss you always our princess."
The circumstances which led up to Miss Burn's death are being investigated by detectives in Workington and further tests have been requested by the Home Office pathologist to establish the cause of death.
The coroner has been made aware.
The 28-year-old local man who was arrested on suspicion of murder has been bailed until January 2013, pending further inquiries.

Give Yourself AssignmentsDPMag Published in Blog
I've long been a believer in self-assignments. That's when you give yourself a photo assignment rather than waiting for the phone to ring, or instead of sitting around waiting for a stroke of magical inspiration. Give yourself an assignment and make yourself follow through with it; you're bound to make something great. I've even had arrangements with other photographers in the past where every week we gave ourselves and assignment. This incorporated the pressure of not letting down your partner, as well as afforded the opportunity to learn from another photographer and get feedback from a trained eye. For proof that self-assignments really do work, take a look at these amazing steel mill images from photographer Carl de Souza. He made them after giving himself the self-assignment to photograph at a factory while on another assignment in Pakistan. The images are beautiful, surreal and immensely informative all at the same time. His newspaper, The Guardian, even selected them for inclusion in as special slideshow edition. Once you see them—here featured on Rob Galbraith's web site along with the story of their creation—you'll understand why. And hopefully you'll see why self-assignments can be so rewarding.

Supernova is a blast! (Sorry, I had to say it)
Lumines Supernova is the latest in the trippy puzzle series, and the first to premiere on the PS3. As someone who owned and played the hell out of Lumines Live! for the 360, it is clear to me that Q Entertainment has listened to fan feedback when crafting this downloadable title. The main complaint leveled against Supernova's downloadable predecessor was leveled towards the game's pricing structure, which nickeled and dimed players endlessly to add features that should have been in the game in the first place. Supernova clears this hurdle and comes packaged with several cool new modes. In addition to the Classic mode (which is still easily the best of the bunch) there are a number of new modes: a Puzzle mode which challeneges players to clear all blocks on the screen in a certain number of moves; a Mission mode in which players must create shapes out of the colored blocks; a Dig-Down mode, which asks players to clear a filled screen; and finally a Sequencer mode which allows players to create their own beats.
The Classic and Puzzle modes are actually quite easy. The solutions to the puzzles remain pretty obvious through the end, so this mode seems more like a distraction than a full-fledged brainteaser. Classic mode, unlike similar modes in other puzzle games, never really ramps the difficulty up. Instead, each increasing level brings with it a change in tempo, music, and skin. While this makes for a very dynamic experience, and it can prove a little disorienting to new players, it will soon become possible to play for hours on end without losing. I typically quit playing Classic mode after an hour or two out of boredom rather than losing to the computer. It should also be noted that several of the skins in Supernova aren't actually new, but taken from past entries such as Lumines Live!. The mission mode, on the other hand, can sometimes become rediculously difficult. It's fun to see what shapes can be made out of Lumines blocks, but at the same time many of these missions come down to luck rather than skill. The Dig-Down and Sequencer modes are entertaining enough, but none of the extra modes are enough to make me quit heading straight for Classic on the menu.
One odd omission from Supernova is any sort of multiplayer mode. Lumines Live! had a VS CPU mode (which had to be bought seperately) and an online multiplayer component, and it's rather strange to see that this sequel lacks these options. Perhaps they will be added as downloadable content in the future. Speaking of DLC, Q Entertainment is clearly very fond of the whole concept. A "new" set of skins was just released under the name of The Classic Collection. These skins are classics from the first two Lumines games. It is evident that we should expect more DLC in the future.
While Supernova is a solid puzzle game in all respects, the thing that really puts it above all other games in the genre is the ambiance that it creates. The trippy music and flashing visuals are capable of putting players in a trance-like state that few, if any, other games have achieved. Lumines Supernova is the closest I've come to being high on drugs.
Graphics: 8.5/10: They're just blocks, but they sure are purty. Also, the background skins look great.
Sound: 9.75/10: The best element of Lumines, the sounds are absolutely hypnotic.
Gameplay: 8/10: It's a puzzle game. You destroy blocks.
Entertainment: 8.5/10

Brandon Sun - ONLINE EDITION
By Ed Tait
These are the moments any hockey player dreams of — an overtime win for a gold medal — and so Ashleigh Brykaliuk, Cassidy Carels and Halli Krzyzaniak decided they needed to preserve it forever on film.
Not long after Canada's team won gold at the World Under-18 Women's Hockey Championship in a 2-1 overtime thriller over the United States Saturday, the three Manitoba girls posed together on the ice at Heinola Arena in Finland for a photograph with giant smiles on their faces and gold medals around their necks.
"It's so cool right now. I don't even know what to say. Our whole team is going crazy," said Brykaliuk in a telephone interview with the Free Press. "We didn't give up. We never doubted ourselves and in the end it showed."
Brykaliuk, who hails from Brandon, had played summer hockey before with Carels, who calls Bruxelles home. And Krzyzaniak, from Neepawa, has played the two before as a rival. The three have all been together in the past at Team Manitoba training camps.
"It's such a good feeling to be alongside some of my close buddies, that makes this so great," said Carels. "I can't believe it. It's so surreal to be a part of it. This is a dream come true. "The ending... that was just amazing."
That might be an understatement. The Canadians, facing an American squad which had romped through the round robin with a perfect 3-0 record and had outscored their opponents 25-0, fell behind 1-0 in the first period after a power-play goal by Jennifer Ryan. To hammer home the early US dominance, the Americans out-shot Canada 20-1 in the opening period.
But Canada didn't fold.
Unbeaten themselves in their pool during the round-robin and coming off a 7-2 win over Sweden in the semifinal — a game in which Brykaliuk scored a hat trick — they rallied and, with their net empty, evened the score with just 13 seconds left on a goal by Catherine Dubois. Then, after a quick intermission following the third period, Canada got the winner on a goal by Karly Heffernan just 58 seconds into overtime.
"I couldn't believe it when we scored to tie it," said Carels. "Everybody was so hyped up. We knew we had the momentum. But when we came into the dressing room our coaches refocused us because we couldn't just out there thinking we had it.
"This is the best feeling in the world."
It is the second consecutive gold for the girls' squad – and for Brykaliuk and Krzyzaniak, both 17 – after they defeated the American's 3-0 last year. Carel, also 17, was participating in her first worlds.
Earlier in the day, Sweden blanked the Czech Republic 4-0 to win the bronze medal.
"I can't find the words to describe this," said Krzyzaniak, the sounds of a jubilant Canadian dressing room dominating in the background.
"To tie with less than a minute left and then win it in over time... this is one of the best moments of my life.
"It's great to do this with friends. And to be on the ice taking a picture with (her Manitoban teammates) is an awesome thing to share with them."
The three girls will begin the long trip home from Finland on Sunday.

This recipe is absolutely delicious and so easy to prepare. Everyone loved it and I was asked for the recipe many times over.
This was sooo good. Made in a 9x13 cake pan and it was great. Brought this to a company "food day" and it was gobbled up! I made a couple of adjustments...added more peanut butter to cream chees...
This was only ok. I found the crust too peanutty and there wasn't enough sweetness to counteract it. It has a very mild flavor that isn't really worth the effort of this pie. Peanut Butter Pi...

A concise primer on how to navigate your way to franchise success.
This business plan is a generic model suitable for all types of businesses. However, you should modify it to suit your particular circumstances.
"Ultimate Business Planner" is a Windows based software tool that significantly eases the burden of writing a formal business plan. It guides you through each business-planning step quickly and easily.
Built from scratch while fulfilling a dream, this business grew by force of will and by acquiring a struggling company. During a promising growth phase, it was struck by a "500-year flood" disaster in 2008 which destroyed it. Shortly thereafter, the nation's economy collapsed. Through sheer hard work and determination the owners undertook the business's recovery nearly alone and are bringing their business back. A true American success story made possible with SCORE's help.
In the year 2000, Debner Painting, Inc. was founded. Mark Debner started this small company with the desire to see it grow. Mark's idea for his company goal was to get wood finishing jobs done on time, with top quality & professionalis. In 2008, Mark and his wife Shannon, began DPI Quality Custom Finishes that combined Debner Painting, Inc., and Chew's Painting and Staining. The game plan was to address all finishing needs on residential and commercial projects.
Six short months after moving into the former Chew's facility, the flood of 2008 took the business plan that would have guided operations for the next two to three years and "washed it down river". Working with over 20 employees, a business acquisition, and a local disaster DPI was poised to continue operating through a sluggish economy or not. The strong work ethic throughout DPI's operations helped the company persevere through the trying time.
Between June 2008 and January 2009, DPI had moved 3 times. Some parts of the forced change have been positive with increased technology in the office and shop. Mark and Shannon have made a commitment to recover and thrive following a huge curve ball that was thrown their way. Their recovery has been assisted by SCORE but would not have been possible without the perseverance and capabilities of Mark and Shannon.
MEDIA ARTICLE: http://crbizcomeback.blogspot.com/2010/11/dpi-made-stronger-by-flood-now-looks.html
Their SCORE Mentor: Scott Loggins.
Excerpt from an area media article:
".... The Debners were cautious at first about having an outsider come in to review their private matters, but quickly felt at ease with their business mentor, Scott Loggins, who also serves as a case manager with [the Cedar Rapids Area Chamber Business Long Term Recovery team--all SCORE mentors] BLTR. They appreciate Loggins' support during a difficult time that had an impact physically, financially, and emotionally.
With guidance, helping to overcome hurdles, providing alternative solutions and by acting as someone to bounce ideas and concerns off of.
Though my wholesale building supply business is profitable, I can't help feeling we're not operating up to our potential. As the company's leader, what can I do to give us the needed push?

The boyfriend of New Berlin Mayor Jack Chiovatero's daughter has been charged with stealing property from the mayor's home.
According to the criminal complaint filed Monday by the Waukesha County District Attorney's Office, the boyfriend, Cory Naber, 21, faces a felony charge in connection with the theft of a 9mm pistol from the mayor's bedstand.
He also has been charged with misdemeanor theft of other undisclosed property. But the complaint notes that the defendant admitted stealing $190 cash, an iPod, a violin, a bass guitar and jewelry from the home since May.
Naber told police that he traded the iPod for two oxycodone pills. He denies taking the gun, however.
Naber also is charged with theft of a .357 Magnum revolver from his father's home in New Berlin.
The complaint says that Naber confessed to stealing the gun and trading it to a drug dealer in Milwaukee for 1.5 grams of heroin. Gun theft is considered a felony.

Do your brochures stink? By David Waters, Managing Director CHIS May 2009 How do you approach marketing your care business? Do you rely on word of mouth and little else? Do you have a web site? Do you use brochures? If you use brochures, does your heart sink when you need to send out a brochure to families of your potential clients? Your heart sinks because you know that very few people actively read your brochure. They can be expensive and you just know that of the 10,000 printed, you'd be delighted if as many as two-thirds, that's only 6,666 reached those you are targeting. Without a doubt, brochures are often necessary because clients expect them. It's the price of entry into the conversation. There are times when brochures can be expunged from an organisation, but it must be well planned and tested before implementation. The last thing you want is your prospect list looking like a Sahara landscape. Here's three fresh perspectives on your brochures that will help you look at them through new eyes, stop the waste and ensure they make a return on your investment. • Experience perspective. It doesn't matter whether you are marketing a product or service, when it comes to your client making a decision, specifications are only part of the story. Clients are also interested in added features - how it will make their life easier and more comfortable. In short, explain how your experience will benefit them. Action: Design a brochure so your clients can experience your services. Get tactile. Think about a brochure that allows your client and their family to see your service at just one step removed from 'the real thing'. Guided tours of your facilities or making use of available technology might help you make that vital connection with prospects by personally involving them. Why not consider a DVD or an audio seminar available for download explaining how you can solve their problem? • Target perspective. Never ... ever ... forget who you are talking to. It seems obvious, but it's easy to forget that your prospects don't know all the stuff you do about your service. Assume nothing. Don't get caught up in designing communications that you'll be proud to take home to show your life partner. Awards don't count and your partner's opinions don't count either (unless they happen to be your target audience). The only opinion that counts is that of your potential clients ... and that can only be measured by their response. Know exactly what you want them to do. How should they respond? This is the 'Call to Action'. Do you expect them to sign on after reading your brochure? How? Is your brochure designed to get them on the phone to talk with you? Craft your brochure accordingly. • Client perspective. Let those who have made use of your services sell your services. Client testimonials and 'good news' stories and are powerful and they work. Look at your brochures as potential communicators of interesting case studies. No more 'me' perspective ... lots of 'you' (your potential clients) perspective. You wouldn't invest in a piece of machinery that didn't create a return on investment. Why would you commission a brochure that doesn't work? It's all about the message. Does your brochure set you apart from your competitors? When it does, it will encourage your clients and prospects to look at you from a new perspective. [After that, it's up to the sales professionals.]

"We think our customers are worth it," Frawley said. "Quite honestly, it's a cost of doing business now for us. We had heard from a lot of our customers that the one thing they really didn't like was paying to park, and if you're going to be a value-priced casino, you have to walk the walk."
The casino very nearly shut down last year. It had been for sale for two years, but could not land a buyer. Its owners, Los Angeles hedge fund Colony Capital LLC, stopped paying its mortgage in 2009 because the money simply wasn't there.
In a deal reached last November. Colony agreed to pump $15 million into it to keep it afloat. In return, lenders foreclosed on and took ownership of two casinos in Mississippi that Colony owned, Bally's Tunica and Resorts Tunica, and wiped out the mortgage debt for what was then called ACH.
The deal also gave the casino an additional infusion of $9.3 million in cash from insurance proceeds from an August 2009 flooding claim. All told, it gave Colony $24.3 million in new funds to invest in the casino and help keep it running.
It slashed expenses, including laying off 150 employees the day after the rescue plan was approved by New Jersey casino regulators, giving it some more breathing room. Frawley said projections call for The Atlantic Club to break even by the fourth quarter of this year, and to turn a modest profit in 2013.
For the first two months of this year, The Atlantic Club has taken in just under $16.2 million. That's the worst total among Atlantic City's 11 casinos, and is down nearly 25 percent from the same period a year ago.
But Frawley said the casino is starting to see modest increases in food and beverage revenue and in hotel occupancy in recent weeks — an encouraging sign during one of the deadest portions of the calendar.
The casino is reducing the amount of slot machines from about 1,850 to 1,500, but it's installing the newest brands and titles — something that hasn't been done on a large scale for many years, Frawley said.
It also plans to heavily promote its restaurants and bars, many of whom look as elegant as those in the city's top casinos.
"This is not cut-price, low-quality," he said. "When people hear 25-cent gambling chips, they think Formica countertops. That's what I've got to dispel."

THE STAFF EXPLAINS EVERYTHING Today's visit was great! To be honest, I was dreading bringing my 3 year old in for a dentist appt. This was her first visit in the big girl chair. She was very clingy at first but became very comfortable after sitting in the chair (with me) putting on the sunglasses and watching a movie while she got her teeth cleaned. The staff explains everything they are going to do and they give choices to the children to give them some sense of control. I was very impressed with how well everything went! We were in and out of there in no time. Angel
BOTH OF MY GIRLS WANT TO RETURN SOON Excellent experience at the Dentist today. Both of my girls want to return soon. HH
WELCOMING AND HELPFUL!! The staff was kind, welcoming and helpful.

Sarah Carr: In Southern Towns, 'Segregation Academies' Are Still Going Strongtags: South, segregation, Sarah Carr, segregation academies, race relations
Sarah Carr is a contributing editor at The Hechinger Report, a nonprofit, nonpartisan education-news outlet based at Teachers College, Columbia University, and author of the forthcoming book Hope Against Hope.
It took LaToysha Brown 13 years to realize how little interaction she had with white peers in her Mississippi Delta town: not at church, not at school, not at anywhere.
The realization dawned when she was in the seventh grade, studying the civil rights movement at an after-school program called the Sunflower County Freedom Project. It didn't bother her at first. By high school, however, Brown had started to wonder if separate could ever be equal. She attended a nearly all-black high school with dangerous sinkholes in the courtyard, spotty Internet access in the classrooms, and a shortage of textbooks all around. Brown had never been inside Indianola Academy, the private school most of the town's white teenagers attend. But she sensed that the students there had books they could take home and walkways free of sinkholes.
"The schools would achieve so much more if they would combine," said Brown, now age 17 and a junior.
But more than four decades after they were established, "segregation academies" in Mississippi towns like Indianola continue to define nearly every aspect of community life. Hundreds of these schools opened across the country in the 20 years after the Brown v. Board decision, particularly in southern states like Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama, and Virgina. While an unknown number endure outside of Mississippi, the Delta remains their strongest bastion....

Egyptian prosecutor Hisham Barakat—who has brought thousands of Islamists to trial including former president of Egypt Mohammed Morsi—has been killed after a convoy he was traveling in was struck by a car bomb. Many of the individuals and Muslim Brotherhood supporters he prosecuted were sentence to death or life in prison. According to the BBC, ISIS has called for new attacks against Egyptian officials after the government recently hanged six ISIS fighters. Discuss
ISIS militants massacred more than 200 civilians, according to a disturbing report, when they raided the small, mostly Kurdish town of Kobani on the Syrian border late last week. Among the victims were women and children. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and Kurdish officials say more than 40 of the ISIS fighters were killed as Kurdish forces reclaimed the city over the weekend. Though some of the victims were killed in car bombings after the ISIS terrorists detonated car bombs, many were shot dead in their homes or in the streets by snipers. Experts told the AP that the brutal killings of civilians by the radical Islamic group were likely a form of revenge for recent defeats at the hands of Western-backed Kurdish fighters. Discuss
This weekend, the pro-abortion group Women on Waves used a drone to deliver several doses of doctor-prescribed abortion drugs illegally to women in Poland, where abortion access is limited. The group, which travels the world delivering abortion drugs to restricted areas, flew the unmanned drone from a border-town in Germany. They were arrested by police shortly after. In Poland, abortion is mostly limited to cases of incest, rape or when the mother's life is medically threatened, but the number of illegal abortions is thought to be very high. Contraceptives are also not easily available to most people in the country. After the drone dropped the medication, two women took it to end their pregnancies. Discuss
According to authorities, at least 28 people were massacred on a beach at a resort in Tunisia by terrorist gunmen. At least 36 others were wounded. One of the two attackers—who stormed the hotel frequented by tourists—was killed by security officials, the other is on the run. Though it is not clear where all of the victims are from, the timing of the attack suggest that most were foreign tourists. As the Chicago Tribune notes, the massacre took place during Ramadan when most Muslims in the region would not likely be visiting a beach. The attack came as radical Islamists executed two other acts of terrorism on the same day, decapitating a man at a gas plant in France and igniting a car bomb that killed at least 16 at a Shiite mosque in Kuwait. Earlier this year, a group with ties to ISIS stormed a museum in Tunisia and murdered 22 people who were mostly tourists ... Discuss
Authorities in France say that a man was decapitated during an attack on factory in France belonging to an American gas company. Several others were injured when the attacker (or attackers) set off explosions by driving their vehicle into containers holding gas. Police found the victim's head—which had been covered in Islamic writings—and a flag with the logo of ISIS at the compound. Police have arrested Yassin Sahli, who had previously been placed on a watchlist for his connection to a radical mosque in the country ... Discuss
More than half of the people of Panama are "Thriving," according to the latest Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index. The research looks at five elements of "well-being"—purpose, social, financial, community and physical—and examines what percentage of each country's people are thriving in each. Panama—which took the top spot for the second straight year—was followed by Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, Switzerland, Belize, Chile, Denmark, Guatemala, Austria and Mexico. The U.S., which did not rank in the top 10 in any of the individual categories, ranked 23. Afghanistan ranked the lowest out of all 145 countries and territories looked at in the research. One of the researchers explained to Reuters, "People in Panama will report a lot of daily happiness, a lot of daily smiling and laughter, and a lot of daily enjoyment without a lot of stress and worry" ...

R&B artist K'Jon took the world by storm with a soulful song called "On the Ocean." After signing with Universal Republic Records, his debut album I Get Around landed at the number one spot on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Albums in 2009. Success has just begun to shine its light on K'Jon. But his latest project is not a new album, or another hit song, it's a mixtape: K'Jon Presents Nick Speed and The Detroit Connect, Volume I .
"Doing mixtapes is like exercise, it keeps you sharp and creative," K'Jon says. "All it is doing is making you a better artist and writer and that is going to make you more marketable."
Mixtapes have always been a promotional tool for up and coming artists. They were originally the work of deejay's who would mix songs together during live shows or parties and sell them to the local community. But now, mainstream artists are embracing the art of the mixtape, as well. Lil Wayne, Young Jeezy, Fabulous, and T.I. are just a few artists who have used mixtapes to generate hype and keep their fans anticipatingtheir upcoming albums. Lil Wayne, in particular, has become more popular off the strength of mixtapes like, Dedication 2and Da Drought 3 (which generated huge media exposure and critical reviews) than his albums. Dedication 3, the sequel to Lil Wayne's "Gangsta Grillz" trilogy, released in 2008, sold over 70,000 copies in the United States even though it was available for free download.
"Mixtapes are popular because it is closer to the music that they [artists] want to make," says hip-hop artist Magestik Legend. "It is the core of the artists."
Many of the artists who have gained success in the music industry started out by releasing mixtapes to the local public.
Before he was signed to Universal, K'Jon released two mixtapes, "Yes Sir" Street R&B mixtape volume 1, and The Making of a Hoodlum Street R&B Mixtape Volume II. K'Jon built a local and national fan base from his single "Yes Sir" off his first mixtape, which generated attention overseas and was played in clubs and on the radio in various states.
"Mixtapes are good for conducting with the people and I was fortunate enough to have DJ's circulating my music in the clubs and on the radio," K'Jon says.
For the past year, Drake has been the poster child for hip-hop success — and it's all thanks to mixtapes. His third, So Far Gone, broke records. Downloaded by more than 8,000 people in less than two hours, So Far Gone was later released as an EP in the wake of its viral success. It sold over 500,000 copies.
Where people find mixtapes now is changing — not just out of the trunk of some guys's car. Magestik Legend recently released his first mixtape, To be Continued, (mega mix) Chapter 1, online. "I've learned that you have to flood the market," Magestik says. "Your power is in your music, but it's up to you to get it to the people."
Not only do artists promote their music through social networking sites, but there are various mixtape websites available for people to both purchase and download the latest mixtapes from local and national artists. Ronier Golightly, also known as DJ Babe, runs mixtapedjs.net, and also founded mixtapemakers.com. "I started my own site as a way to get my music out there and mixtapeDJs.net did really well when it first started out," Golightly says.
Although it is easier for artists to get their music to the public by releasing it online, some artists say there are pros and cons to releasing music on the internet.
"Pretty much anybody can make a mixtape," says Michael Buchanan, aka DJ House Shoes, who's ambivalent about the trend. The internet is a double edged sword; on one end it gives access to way too many people thinking they are DJs, but for artists that have quality content, it's easier to get their music to the masses,"
Marcel Friday, founder of the hip hop website Whutupdoe.com says that he looks for authenticity when deciding what kind of mixtapes to promote on his site.
"I have to like it. I like for my website to speak for me personally and the people working for the site, so I'm not going to put something up that's going to compromise my integrity and compromise things that we wouldn't support otherwise," says Friday.
In addition to the marketing strategies that go into promoting mixtapes, the material that goes into the making of a mixtape can also affect its value. Mixtapes can either be composed of original beats or artists can rap or sing behind beats that have been covered by popular artists. "There is a certain level of creativity that has to go into rapping over someone else's beat. If all you are going to do is rap over a Jay-Z beat, then you are promoting Jay-Z," Magestik says. "Artists need to spend more time trying to get other artists on their beats or try to use a less popular beat."
Along with rapping, DJing, break dancing, graffiti, and beat boxing, mixtapes are another element of hip hop that originated in the local community, made its way to the mainstream, but continues to be nurtured as an underground art form. | RDW

... Friday, we had googled a church and were apprehensive when we arrived at this cruddy looking building with not many people. But the people soon came and it was the best service we have been to in ages.

Afterwards, we checked out the replica Parthenon, Belmont Mansion (whose owner, Scarlett O'Hara was modelled on), and ...
