The great point that the article made was the fact that people can now order Skinns online and never have to worry that they won't fit. I never buy shoes online because of the fear they won't (and usually don't) fit. Awesome!!
Nope, no place up here to get them fixed........horses are the means of travel up here.
Actually, I'm sitting in an outhouse, here in Homer, Alaska wondering if there is a Ferrari dealership nearby..........
Thats what I'm planning on getting with my searchguy proceeds............LOL
I hear crickets.........
Article from CMT.com about CD sales.....
(NASHVILLE SKYLINE is a column by CMT/CMT.com Editorial Director Chet Flippo.)
The artist Prince caused a huge stir in the music industry a few days ago when 2.9 million copies of his new CD Planet Earth were bundled with
Sunday copies of the UK newspaper The Mail. There was a furious backlash from the music industry -- including his own label, Sony BMG -- at this act of heresy of giving music away free. But it will probably pay off for Prince in the long run. To begin with, The Mail paid him a reported $500,000 for this venture.
Prince's overall logic? Well, his last CD sold only 80,000 copies in the UK. As a so-called heritage artist (meaning one who's been around a while and doesn't sell millions of CDs anymore), he figures since his main income derives from selling concert tickets and merchandise, including sales of his previous CDs, it makes sense to try to attract new listeners and expand his fan base. And offering free music may be the best way to do that. And the UK has been way ahead with that. For years, British music magazines such as Mojo and Q have done that with sampler CDs inserted in their magazines, and the Oxford American does that here at home.
If the music industry had gotten out in front of paid music downloads in a timely fashion, the industry wouldn't be in the pickle it now finds itself in. As it is, the only viable solution for the downloading issue came from a music industry outsider -- Apple's Steve Jobs with his iTunes and iPod. As CD sales continue to plummet, there are few options left for the music business.
In a related event to the Prince matter, my colleague Patrick Goldstein of the Los Angeles Times wrote a column about Prince's free CDs and, as a reward for his initiative, had his column killed by his editor. Now, naturally, his column is all over the Internet and has attracted many more readers than the Times normally gets every day. Goldstein suggested that the newspaper, which is losing money, might do better by trying initiatives like Prince's rather than by staff layoffs and introducing paid ads on the front page, as it is planning to do. Presumably, his editor is not open to such suggestions.
Let me quote from Goldstein's killed column a bit: "Here's how it might work. The Times would start a free-music series, offering music (either on a CD or via downloads) from respected artists willing to think outside the box -- meaning anyone from Elvis Costello, Beck and Ryan Adams to Ry Cooder, Steve Earle and Lucinda Williams. Instead of paying the artist a fat fee, we'd recruit advertising sponsors who'd be delighted to be associated with classy artists and the imprint of the Times.
"If you haven't noticed, music has a powerful mojo for advertisers. TV commercials have used pop songs to sell product for years. Lexus currently has a series of TV ads featuring Costello and John Legend seated in a Lexus, simply talking about their favorite music (Elvis sings the praises of Beethoven). But what they're really selling is coolness by association. The same association could apply to us via a giveaway series. It would encourage readers to see the paper in a new light, as not just a news-gathering organization but a cultural engine. If we surrounded the music with news, reviews and features from our staff, it could also expose new visitors to our formidable music critics and reporters."
It's not that radical a suggestion for newspapers which themselves are in a downward audience spiral. iMedia International has already joined with the Dallas Morning News and the New York Daily News to insert CDs in their Sunday editions containing music samples, movie previews, video games, comics, celebrity interviews and ads. A spokesman for the Dallas paper said that so far the CDs seem to be received very well by readers. In Nashville, The Tennessean might do well to try such an effort with artist CDs or sampler CDs. God knows, there's any number of heritage country artists who are mainly making their living by touring and playing live. And there are plenty of new artists struggling to find an audience.
There are precedents in country and related fields. CMT.com has presented complete plays of many new CDs, which draw substantial audiences. And our free videos on demand amount to the same thing. It's artist promotion as well as entertainment content. The group Wilco made their then-new CD Yankee Hotel Foxtrot available free in MP3 form in 2002 and still ended up selling a substantial number of CDs of the album as well as gaining new fans.
I think it might be worth an experiment in country music, for both heritage artists and for fledgling artists looking to gain a toehold in getting their music to a wide audience.
OK, can someone clear this up for me.............
Do the warrants qualify for all the shares you held on July 15th or do they qualify only to the shares you bought during a certain time period.
OK, point taken.......no harm meant. I quess i've always invested in companies where I loved or used their products and had competent managment. I try to get full understanding to get more bang for my investment buck.
Hey, and how the hell did you know I like pizza???.......LOL
PGA, please don't take this wrong, I'm not trying to be critical. I just wanted to know why you are investing in a country music record label and not know too many country stars. Your statement kinda puzzled me. GL on you puts........I've been waiting fot the market to correct for a few months, so today is no surprise to me.
I thought that article was so relevent to what NR is about. The major labels have been raping artists for years. I think NR is one of these smaller labels major artists are looking for. I have read that Jewel and another Idol star, Phil Stacy are looking for labels for country efforts. Signing Caldwell would be an awesome start. Lets get it done, Guys.
Yeah, I quess. It just would have been nice to see us on the list .
Interesting read on how country artists are getting their initial financing to get their careers going..........

After doing a search for our direct competition, I found this list........But we are not incuded..

At least there is no negative jibberish happening. Silence is gold right now.
Am I seeing correctly here, an hour and a half into the trading day and 0 shares traded.................Wow!
I'll be happy with Taylor Swift...........wowieee
OK complainers listen, the day a CEO is extremely concerned with stock price or makes irrational moves to increase it is the day you should be out and long gone.
The only people I ever see complaining, I'm willing to bet, are the ones who are in it to make a quick buck and get mad when their trade doesn't go in their favor.
Watching and reacting to the daily fluctuations is called "measurebating" and renders you blind to the overall big picture.
Complaining about management not appeasing you because your looking at a paper loss is ignorant. I love the posts that say the "CEO should not be on vacation now". Are you kidding me???
They didn't put a gun to your head and force you to buy shares. It was your decision and yours alone. You need to be in Hasbro or Proctor + Gamble if you can't handle a little pressure. Not in pennies.
Those of us who have put in our DD believe in the company and are in it for the long haul, probably years. We know that pennies are a gamble and the wild, wild west of investing. We'll live and die with it.
In conclusion, if you have any doubt about the company or the way its being run then you should not own 1 single share. Period!
You should have mentioned it in May............LOL
Its not nice to recommend a stock after the boat has left...LOL
I would say that the people who bought at the low in mid June are taking a quick profit now. Good for them. I'm not jumping to the sharks just yet.
Boy, for someone that would still be "way way ahead" if this stock went to .01 you sure have a sense of panic about you.
not only that, you vent on an internet message board and put money into "pinksheet and OTC stocks.
I question you proposed "market savvy".
Please sell your shares, and buy more P+G,
Yup, thats top 40, check out the top country billboard chart..

Big and Rich #1
Imcat, I dont have PM..........shoot me an email so I can respond about UWNK.
bigblue72@excite.com
Country music is hot right now. It is the fastest growing music genre. John Rich is the most sought after writer and producer at the moment. Big and Rich's song just hit #1 on the country charts.
The fact that KC is working with John Rich is a blessing for her. If she signs with Nashville Records then that would mean that JR gave his blessing. This would be huge.
IHUBers, we need to scour over all the recent Big and Rich news and see if there is any mention of Nashville Records.
John Rich is also working with Jewel on her new country effort. She has yet to sign with a label.............could he be steering Jewel toward NR as well?? Jewel's cd is done. All she has to do is sign with someone.
I am thinking outloud here. I'm hunting to confirm these thoughts as we speak....................
I have been reading other blogs and boards and saw a mention it. I decided to bounce it off the posters here on ihub. I guess it is gibberish.
I have been reading about an IPO for searchguy in mid 2007. Can anyone else confirm this??
Cool, this soap opera is heating up again.....hehehe
I'm really saddened by the childish bickering and name calling that has invaded a what WAS a decent message board. This is exactly why I left the Yahoo zoo and now this is why I leave here. Good luck to all who are serious about their investing and their future. For all the others, I hope the basket weaving included in your psychotherapy truly helps solve your underlying insecurities. Peace.
Something for you chart junkies..........

All indicators just went green ( or buy) recently.
Hey Jan, nice attempt at some damage control for the insidious people you work for ......
Lots of quick profit taking here.........Let the games begin!!
Its tough to read whats going on here. I'm hoping some big players are noticing and reading some good into the latest news. Its going up too fast for me. I really hate volatility. At least I'm in the black again........
Congrates on your profit. One rule I stick to when it comes to stocks.........Never look back.
Thats an awesome PR. A lot of questions answered. Lets hope for some smooth trials. I think "the robin" has found its lower branch here and will munch on some berries for a while. Those of you who have run out of buying capital may want to hunt around the house and sell some stuff on ebay to raise some funds. I think accumulation is the order of the day. Please due your DD Good luck to all..............
It will be interesting to see if it can be supported here at .37. We could see a lot of weak hands selling if it doesn't. I am holding here. Not buying or selling.
More pain for the market with lots of money leaving stocks for safer havens. Out of the 11 stocks I'm in currently, cycr is the only one green for the day. Have a great weekend , all!!
PVR, hey why do you think my name is bigblue72. Its was my first big stock buy. I took a second mortgage on my house and bought as many as I could. I still have the house but not the shares..LOL
PRV, you dont have to sell me, I'm in bigtime and accumulate more every week. I've done my DD and am a believer. There is only one other stock I was equally enthusiastic about and that was AOL when they announced their first 500,000 subscribers.What a ride that was.
The only problem I have with this one is that they will sell to a bigger fish too early. Like around 2 to 3 dollars a share, that would be tragic but who am I to look a nice profit in the face and frown. What will be, will be.
Correct, vaccine or no vaccine, women will still have to be tested regularly to verify noninfection. Cancer is cancer and people want to make sure.
I think this tiny correction in the broad market may continue for a spell. It may produce the 10 to 15 percent type that has been way overdue. Weak hands need to show some balls here and hold, if not take advantage of any dips and add. I just hope the is no panic selling in the next few days, market wise that is. Its gonna be a rough couple of months til the trials are over, IMHO. If it stays in the .40's I will be adding bigtime. As I write this, the DOW is down over 500 points, ouchy.
Thats what I like about this board, no useless banter or bickering. Just level headed investors.
