Early Origins
Cefn Mably House
Ye Olde Fayre
The Creation of Pontprennau
Old or New St. Mellons?
The area's history spans back to the time of the Silures over 2,000 years ago. Evidence of this can be found in the form of a cromlech, in the grounds of Druidstone House. The cromlech and small settlement around it may have been called Pen-y-Pil until the Roman Invasion in the 1st Century A.D. There are numerous theories over the origin of St. Mellons' name. Llaneurwg, as St. Mellons is known in Welsh, may have been named after the local chief was Eurwg, great-great-grandson of Bran, King of Gwent and grandson of the famous Caradoc, in 180 AD.
Another suggestion is that Mellonius, first Bishop of Rouen in the 4th Century, was born in the area and a church was dedicated to him. The most likely theory is that when the Normans conquered the region in the 11th Century, they dedicated a new church to St. Mellon, their patron saint. The Norman church was completely rebuilt and extended in the 14th century, repaired again in 1868, but evidence of its mediaeval features still remain.
Norman Conqueror of Glamorgan, Robert Fitzhamon, had a house or hunting lodge constructed for his daughter Mabel, in the area we now call Cefn Mably. The Normans were in control of most of Cardiff until the early 13th century, when the lands and property in St. Mellons passed into the possession of the Kemys family through marriage. Cefn Mably was set in 6,000 acres of countryside, within which roamed a large herd of deer. The house was rebuilt in the 16th Century, and an eastern wing and a new chapel were added in the 18th century.
By the late 19th Century, the house was described as one of the finest and most historic country seats in Wales. Cefn Mably was sold in 1920, and converted into a hospital until 1983. It was almost destroyed by arson in 1994, but has been restored and converted into luxury apartments. Another fine property in the area was Quarry Hill House. It was built sometime during the early 18th century, on top of what used to be a Roman camp used by workers who were constructing the Via Julia Maritima (now Newport Road).
St. Mellons Fair was an annual event enjoyed by the populous and visitors alike, was organised by the monks of the monastery at Llanrumney. The fair was held on 22 October, St. Mellons Day, and continued until the middle of the Reformation in 1859. The fair was replaced by a ploughing match which evolved into the St. Mellons Show. This was held at Llanrumney Park until the modern housing estate was built and is now a popular annual event at Tredegar House.
In 1629, a Poor House was constructed for the less affluent residents. This was converted in 1854 to a village school, which served the community until the mid 1980's, when it was replaced by a bigger, modern school in Llanrumney and subsequently demolished. Had the school been preserved, it would have most likely been listed under a conservation scheme. By the early 19th century there were Baptist and Methodist chapels, and a choice of pubs to frequent, such as the White Hart or the Fox and Hounds.
Pontprennau used to be farm in the parish of Llanedeyrn, but in the 1970's new housing estates were built and the population rapidly grew. St. Mellons and Pontprennau were suburbs of Cardiff by 1974 and by the 1990's the estates started to spill over the boundaries into Lisvane and Cyncoed. The East of Pontprennau and Cardiff Gate developed quickly into a commercial hub due to it's proximity to the M4, while the South and West were devoted to the rapidly growing housing estates.
In 1977, Cardiff County Council deemed the most historically significant part of St. Mellons to be worthy of special recognition. A new boundary was drawn up which encompassed the majority of the oldest buildings such as St John's College, the Bluebell, Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses and the Coach House (formally White Hart). This boundary enclosed Old St. Mellons, leaving the newer housing estate of St. Mellons to the South, and Pontprennau to the North.

In Slovenia, Elan had a unique ski-building mold with hundreds of tiny screws that allowed designers great variation in determining ski sidecut. Elan's engineers were using this mold when experimenting with designs for a faster race ski, working with the idea of introducing sidecut that more closely mimicked the turning radius in a Giant Slalom racecourse, when they came up with what would become the SCX.
The first prototype, called the Light Speed parabolic, was sent to "crazy Americans" in Elan's United States offices for testing. Mike Adams, Elan president, took the protos to ski area personnel for tryouts instead of simply putting them on elite athletes, a tactic many other companies have used to generate interest. Instructors instantly saw how easy it would be to teach new skiers how to turn at slow speeds on these radically shaped skis.
But it wasn't just beginners who were seeing results. At Vermont's Sugarbush Resort individuals who previously weren't on the map won races on shaped skis. People were performing so well with Elan's new product, that the shaped ski was being called "the cheater ski."
Elan created grassroots demand, initially selling just to rental shops. The company hit record sales, and it was one of the first times that skis were mentioned in mainstream press.

In some people with a JAK2 mutation, specific inhibitors of the JAK2 protein may be used.In people who are at a high risk for clotting, aspirin at a low dose (81 to 100 mg per day) decreases clotting episodes. People who may benefit from this treatment include older persons and people with very high platelet levels or who have had past clotting episodes.Many people do not need any treatment.

Jet loses wheel on takeoff attempt in NC
A US Airways jet lost one of its wheels while taxiing for takeoff at Charlotte Douglas International Airport.
The Charlotte Observer reports the plane on a flight to Providence, R.I., managed to stop safely on the runway Wednesday afternoon.
No one was hurt.
The wheel rolled across the tarmac and lodged on the undercarriage of a US Airways Express plane that had just landed from Lexington, Ky.
Officials put the passengers on buses that carried them back to the terminal. Maintenance crews put a new tire on the aircraft and towed it back to the gate.
Both of the planes were inspected by mechanics.

A trip down south can provide some last-minute ways to light up the holidays with your family. NY1's Valarie D'Elia filed the following report.
It is nearly impossible to dim the dazzle of the Dyker Heights Christmas displays in Brooklyn, but travelers who are headed south for Christmas can up the wattage on a holiday drive.
The Christmas lights on Sesame Street burn brightly over the holidays at Sesame Place in Pennsylvania. The family theme park 90 miles south of New York City is transformed into a winter wonderland with a "Very Furry Christmas."
The theme park is decked out on select dates, culminating on New Year's eve with a parade and fireworks. Visit www.sesameplace.com for details.
You can really "turn on the brights" by driving through 100 miles of lights in Virginia, where holiday illuminations span six cities, from Richmond to Virginia Beach.
All of the cities have hotel packages making it possible to stay at different points along the route. View www.Virginia.org/100MilesofLights for details.
One of the largest lighting displays anywhere in the country takes place in Williamsburg, Va., at Busch Gardens. The annual "Christmas Town" exhibit expands this year with "Holiday Hills," meaning there are now six million twinkling lights that adorn nearly every building and tree in the 100-acre theme park.
Busch Gardens' signature 50-feet tall, animated Christmas tree dazzles with nearly a quarter-million twinkling lights that move to a musical score.
The park's tallest ride, Mäch Tower, is operating in observation mode during Christmas Town, so guests can take a leisurely 240-feet ride above the park to take it all in.
Christmas Town is open on select days through December 31. For more information, visit www.ChristmasTown.com.

Getting to Easter Island – March 31 – April 5, 2012
Planning my trip to Easter Island wasn't as much of a challenge as I expected. Granted that Easter Island is said to be to "the most remote inhabited island in the world." A high school classmate of mine, and fellow adventurer, Gabby Malvar, is the only other person I personally know who has been to Easter Island. When I asked him how to get there, he told me it was "complicated" to get there, requiring several transfers and modes of transportation. Perhaps I heard him wrong, but that is what stuck to my mind. When I actually researched it… it wasn't that complicated at all.Read More

Another activity we tried in preschool was painting with hammers on houses! I wasn't able to catch this activity in action but here is the basic idea…
A simple white house shape is glued to black construction paper…
The children draw doors and windows on their houses.
Dip the head of a toy hammer in tempera paint then hammer away on the house…
A little messy but lots of fun!

EAST GREENWICH — Members of the East Greenwich Town Council formally approved three questions related to proposed amendments to the Town Charter during the Council's July 28 meeting at Town Hall, inquiries that will be placed on the upcoming ballot for the November general elections.
The biggest question on the ballot, of course, is whether or not the Town of East Greenwich should abolish the financial town meeting, the formal confab where the public approves the annual fiscal budget.
For more of this story pick up a copy of The East Greenwich Pendulum.
EAST GREENWICH — Four emergency service members not only rose through the ranks of their respective departments, but the majority of them also continued family traditions in the process.
In front of friends, family and proud residents at Town Hall Monday evening, Stephen Garrett and Michael Monaghan each were sworn in as lieutenant for the East Greenwich Police Department and the East Greenwich Fire Department, respectively, while Glen Terilli was promoted to sergeant of the EGPD and Andrew Campbell became a permanent member of the EGFD.
Making it official by means of a press release issued last week, District 33 Senator and local business owner Lou Raptakis announced his intent to run for re-election this November.
A Democrat representing East Greenwich, Coventry and West Greenwich, Raptakis is the owner of Venus Pizza in Coventry and a longtime legislator.
Stephen Bartlett is hoping that one day, one part of East Greenwich will go to the dogs.
The former commissioner of the East Greenwich Fire District has been in discussions with Town officials over the last few weeks regarding his idea of potentially setting aside some land to construct a dog park in East Greenwich, very similar to the Kayla Jean Ricci Dog Park that was recently built in North Kingstown in memory of the young resident who suddenly passed away.
KINGSTON — Design your Destiny; Join the Journey; Leave your Legacy.
Three phrases written down on a piece of paper may seem simple. Yet, when that trio of three-word statements is acted upon, especially by exuberant youth, the impacts they have will last a long time.
EAST GREENWICH — A public hearing was held during the East Greenwich Planning Board's meeting last Wednesday evening to share updates on the hazard mitigation plan that will help the Town be ready if an emergency poses a threat to East Greenwich.
Peter Cusolito, a Senior Security & Emergency Management Consultant for VHB, which has an office in Providence, gave both the Planning Board and the public a half-hour presentation identifying the needs of addressing some trouble spots in East Greenwich in order to be prepared for a natural disaster, weather-related or otherwise.
An East Greenwich attorney was sentenced last Wednesday by Superior Court Judge Walter R. Stone after pleading no contest to embezzlement and elder exploitation.
Janet Mastronardi, 54, of 76 Goodwin St., East Greenwich, admitted that she embezzled close to $130,000 from an elderly woman, according to a press release from the Office of Attorney General Peter F. Kilmartin, and she was sentenced to seven years, with 30 months home confinement and the remaining 54 months suspended with probation.
NARRAGANSETT – If you've ever driven a car in Rhode Island then you probably know that many of the state's roads and bridges are in need of repair. Several state officials gathered in Galilee on Friday morning to tour the Great Island Bridge, one of many in the state that is in disrepair and in dyer need of updates. The tour comes from a report from the White House released last week detailing state-by-state road conditions as well as a recent shortfall in funding for the federal Highway Trust Fund.
WARWICK — With one quick slam of the champagne bottle by New England Institute of Technology Senior Vice President Cheryl Connors across a model submarine Monday morning, a giant step forward in bridging the skills gap within Rhode Island was taken Monday morning.
EAST GREENWICH — In front of a packed and proud audience at Swift Community Center on July 14, two of East Greenwich's most decorated members of emergency service were promoted to higher levels within their respective departments.
Stanley Cirella and Michael Sullivan were each sworn in as deputy chief for the East Greenwich Police Department and East Greenwich Fire Department, respectively, and were formally honored for their tremendous heroism and valor to the community at-large with loud, thunderous standing ovations for both gentlemen by the public in attendance.

Project: Failing Flesh
A Beautiful Sickness
January 2005
Released: 2004, Karmageddon Media / Sound Pollution
Rating: 2.0/5
Reviewer: Anders Sandvall
The leaders of this project are Kevin 131 and Tim Guiterrez and last in came Eric Forrest (ex-Voivod, now E-force). Those three make up Project: Failing Flesh. The band bio says that Kevin 131 has worked with acts like Madonna and Seal. Personally, I don't think that's anything to brag about in metal circles, but who cares?
Kevin 131 recorded, engineered and mixed the album at Assembly Line Studios in Vienna, VA, USA. It's produced by Guiterrez and Kevin 131. They've done a pretty ordinary but good production when it comes to the soundscape. It's heavy, hard, brutal and aggressive with a lot of space for Forrest's incredibly aggressive vocals. There's nothing wrong with the instruments, the vocals or the production. I'm going to come to the negative things further on down below.
The music is described in the info note as extreme metal, which I question as usual. I would rather say that this is some kind of strange mix between extreme and industrial metal with parts of gothic metal snuck in here and there. They have also added classical themes to the music and by classical I mean cellos, pianos and violins. This little project obviously seems to have a hard time deciding in what musical direction they should go.
The band have put 9 new songs and one cover on their debut album. The cover is Venom's song "Warhead". All three in the project have together written, performed and programmed all of the 10 tracks, except for the cover.
The material sounds really weak and uninspired. It feels like they have no spark in their music and it all feels like an already composed package. This album is not in any way impressive and should be avoided . The only positive thing is Forrest's voice and Kevin 131 and Tim Guiterrez's instrumental skills. Add to that the pretty standard production and that's about all the positive things I have to say about the album. The cover doesn't benefit the album either. To be honest it looks really ugly to say the least.
The bio says this may be "one of the best albums of 2004". Well sorry to say, but this is definitely NOT one of the best albums of 2004, rather one of the worst ones this year.

Are We happy Yet? Are You?
If you're a subscriber to YES!, your Fall issue of YES! on Purple America will be in your mailbox very soon. If you are not a subscriber, I hope you will become one, or better yet, a "Dedicated Friend" of YES! These are the best ways to support the work of producing YES!--work that would be impossible without our subscribers and supporters.
Meanwhile, here's a heads-up on Happiness, the topic of the Winter issue of YES!, and a request for your help with the issue.
Pursuing happiness is something we are entitled to; it says so, right in the Declaration of Independence. But are we happy? Could it be that what we are pursuing is not in fact happiness, but the stuff that is supposed to lead to happiness?
Why do we rank so low in global happiness scores, although we are the wealthiest country in the world and have way more stuff than almost anyone else? And why do so many resort to drugs--legal and illegal--to make it through the day?
These are urgent questions because pursuing the ersatz happiness promised by Madison Avenue is destroying a very real planet along with the potential for genuine long-term happiness for ourselves, the other people (and other life) we share the planet with, and future generations.
So what is real happiness and how do we get it? As we prepare this issue of YES! we turn to science, to personal stories, and to wisdom traditions for clues.
The real ingredients of happiness, it turns out, are far less costly to the planet than we might have thought. Happiness comes from having enough--but not too much--and from living in a society in which others have enough. And it comes from such simple habits as expressing gratitude and finding ways to give back. This is not a liberal fantasy, this is what the research says.
The good news is actually very good indeed. We can have it all--a healthier planet, healthier societies, and happier people. But we have to turn away from the failed Madison Avenue path to happiness and seek out the genuine article.
Here's where you can help. We will be featuring stories in this issue of people who have found contentment. They may not have reached a state of perfect bliss, but they have found the right balance for themselves and their families, and they are living in a way that doesn't compromise the ability of others, in this and future generations, to also be happy.
Do you know such people? Send us an email to editors [at sign] yesmagazine.org. Put the word "happiness" in the subject line. Or leave a comment below, with a way to reach you. We'll choose some of your stories to feature in the upcoming issue.
Meanwhile, keep an eye out for the Fall issue of YES! (which, as you'll recall, you will get in your mailbox if you become a subscriber or Dedicated Friend. Oh, and you get a great DVD of "Pete Seeger: The Power of Song" and other gifts when you sign up as a Dedicated Friend!)
Labels: Dedicated Friends, happiness, Pete Seeger, shameless promotion, subscriptions

Arctic air eases its grip on much of the US
ATLANTA (AP) — An arctic blast eased its grip on much of the U.S. on Wednesday, with winds calming and the weather warming slightly a day after temperature records — some more than a century-old — shattered up and down the Eastern Seaboard.
In Atlanta, where a record low of 6 degrees hit early Tuesday, fountains froze over, a 200-foot Ferris wheel shut down and Southerners had to dig out winter coats, hats and gloves they almost never have to use. It shouldn't take too long to thaw out, though. The forecast Wednesday was sunny and 42 degrees.
In the Midwest and East, where brutal polar air has lingered over the past few days, temperatures climbed but were still expected to be below freezing.
In Indianapolis, Timolyn Johnson-Fitzgerald returned to her home after spending the night in a shelter with her three children because they lost power to their apartment. The water lines were working, but much of the food she bought in preparation for the storm was ruined from a combination of thawing and then freezing during the outage.
"All my eggs were cracked, the cheese and milk was frozen. And the ice cream had melted and then refroze. It's crazy, but we're just glad to be back home," she said.
On Tuesday, the mercury plunged into the single digits and teens from Boston and New York to Atlanta, Birmingham, Nashville and Little Rock — places where many people don't know the first thing about extreme cold.
"I didn't think the South got this cold," said Marty Williams, a homeless man, originally from Chicago, who took shelter at a church in Atlanta. "That was the main reason for me to come down from up North, from the cold, to get away from all that stuff."
The cold turned deadly for some: Authorities reported at least 21 cold-related deaths across the country since Sunday, including seven in Illinois and six in Indiana. At least five people died after collapsing while shoveling snow, while several victims were identified as homeless people who either refused shelter or didn't make it to a warm haven soon enough.
In Missouri on Monday, a 1-year-old boy was killed when the car he was riding in struck a snow plow, and a 20-year-old woman was killed in a separate crash after her car slid on ice and into the path of a tractor-trailer.
In a phenomenon that forecasters said is actually not all that unusual, all 50 states saw freezing temperatures at some point Tuesday. That included Hawaii, where it was 18 degrees atop Mauna Kea, a dormant volcano.
It was 1 degree in Reading, Pa., and 2 in Trenton, N.J. New York City plummeted to 4 degrees; the old record for the date was 6, set in 1896.
"It's brutal out here," said Spunkiy Jon, who took a break from her sanitation job in New York to smoke a cigarette in the cab of a garbage truck. "Your fingers freeze off after three minutes, your cheeks feel as if you're going to get windburn, and you work as quick as you can."

Amazing new animated short by Chris Landreth.
National Film Board of Canada Online Archives
This week the National Film Board of Canada relaunched its website, which now contains hundreds of films from its archives, ranging from animated shorts to documentaries and feature length films. There are some real gems in there. This 2 minute animated short by Jo Meuris shows that with very limited means you can create something with high emotional impact.
So don't worry if you can't make it to Sundance, Annecy, IDFA, the Rotterdam, London, Venice or Berlin film festival. There's plenty to watch here.
If only all national agencies responsible for supporting film production would do this. I mean it is public money and after being shown at a festival most films that were produced with the aid of public funding just vanish.
Ohh, and as an artist I would like to have free access to high quality files so I can create my own mash-ups.

Jewel Floats
With so much work recently, finishing up Boys' Knits over the past Spring and now toiling away on the follow up accessories book, I forgot how much fun designing something spontaneous is. Working with this yarn [Lorna's Laces multi] I really wanted to highlight its variegation, make it the feature of the fabric. The array of colours that is put into a single skein is simply mind boggling and although I have worked with Lorna's Laces yarns in the past I was always a little wary of their Multi range up until now. Just didn't trust myself to do justice to the yarn.
Enter Jewel Floats! This hat is designed with a vibrantly variegated yarn in mind and I love how the floats carry the iridescence of the yarn. Still I think it would look great in a more subtle colour too.
The pattern is now available

Stephens Family Splitting Business
by Gwen Moritz
Posted 5/22/2006 12:00 am
Updated 2 years ago
Warren A. Stephens, son of the late Jackson T. "Jack" Stephens and CEO of Stephens Group Inc., will own one of the two new entities. He will "acquire from the holding company 100% of Stephens Inc. and all related financial services companies. Stephens Inc. will also continue its historical business of being a private equity investor," according to the written announcement.
Warren Stephens will also acquire the Stephens building and nearby Capital Hotel.
Warren Stephens' cousins, siblings Witt Stephens Jr. and Elizabeth Stephens Campbell, will acquire the Stephens Group Inc. name and "form a new entity to pursue private equity investments on their behalf."
The families will remain 50-50 partners in the holding company, which will be renamed SH Corp. It will continue to own and operate joint investments like Las Vegas-based Stephens Media Group and Stephens Production Co. "as well as other private and public investments the families have made over the last 73 years," according to the statement.
"This reorganization is a natural evolution in almost all family businesses. It is not an end, but rather a new beginning," Warren Stephens said in the release. "My father and uncle laid a great foundation which has provided growth and opportunity across the country. I think our success has exceeded even their expectations. My cousins and I look forward to focusing our energies on the aspects of business that are important to each of us."
Witt Stephens Jr. also included a comment in the written statement:
"Elizabeth and I look forward to the opportunities presented by this reorganization. This will allow us to pursue our different investment strategies along with joint ventures with Warren. We are excited about our primary focus being private equity and the strengths of the team we have assembled."
Completion of the reorganization will likely take several months, Stephens spokesman Frank Thomas said, in part because Warren Stephens' acquisition of Stephens Inc. is subject to federal regulatory approval.
The Stephens Group is No. 2 on the list ofArkansas' largest private companies that appears in today's Arkansas Business. It trails only Truman Arnold Cos., which is actually located on the Texas side of Texarkana. Jack Stephens died last July and Witt Stephens died in 1991. Witt Stephens' third child, Pam Stephens, died in 2003.
Also part of the restructuring, Ron Clark, who currently heads Little Rock's Rose Law Firm as its managing partner, is leaving the firm to be general counsel of the new firm formed by Witt Stephens Jr. and Elizabeth Stephens Campbell.
In January, Clark made Arkansas Business' "Power List" of 171 people who run the largest or most influential companies or institutions in Arkansas.
Ron Clark could not be reached for comment.

You don't want to be tardy to this party.
The introduction this fall of the new single-stream recycling program using big blue carts was the inspiration for 288 children from 26 schools in Spokane County as they created hand-drawn posters for entry in the "America Recycles Day 2012" Spokane poster contest. This year's theme was "Recycling: Bigger, Blue-er, Better!" The annual competition, open to students in kindergarten through grade 8, is sponsored by Spokane Regional Solid Waste System (SRSWS). All finalists will also be honored at a reception at 6:30 p.m. tomorrow in the Kress Gallery on level 3 of River Park Square, 808 W. Main.
Image courtesy of Out There Monthly.
In addition, the finalists' posters are on display at River Park Square through tomorrow. From that group, 17 posters have been selected to appear in the 2013 "Spokane Recycles" calendar, which will be available free of charge from the SRSWS main office, 625-6580, beginning in late December 2012.

How I got to design Guy Kawasaki`s "Enchantment" Presentation
A few weeks ago, I made a short video presentation about the day when Chris Brogan and Guy Kawasaki both re-tweeted my blog post "Presenting your portfolio on the iPad". That was indeed a very cool day, and it was my first contact with Guy Kawasaki. Not only he re-tweeted those two posts, but he also sent me a direct message saying "Maybe someday you can design a presentation for me." Then, a second message: "What's your email address? I'll send you a presentation that I consider well done." Obviously, I got very excited about the possibility of working for someone like Guy Kawasaki, but at the same time I was careful not to keep my expectations too high. He did send me an email right away with his last presentation, we exchanged a few emails that day but it was just that. It all happened in the same day that my blog was having an unusual huge traffic of new visitors, I was also getting lots of new twitter followers and hundreds of re-tweets about my "iPadfolio" post. Everything was so exciting and so surreal… it was almost too good to be true.
Not even a month later, for my surprise, Guy actually got in touch to ask if I could design the "Enchantment" presentation. I have to admit that I did hope he would hire my services in the future, but I definitely did not expect it would happen so soon. I was ecstatic! It was a rush job, it had to be completed in three days, and I had to start by reading his new book – "Enchantment: The Art of Changing Hearts, Minds, and Actions" … from there, it only got better and better.
Many exciting things happened during those few days of intense work, I could probably write an entire book about this one design experience! Long story short, I'll just list what I loved the most and what I didn't love that much about this amazing project:
Things I loved about designing "Enchantment":
1) The client!
-Yes, of course, I was designing a presentation for Guy Kawasaki, and I've been a big fan of his for a while, but I also want to mention that he was one of the best clients I've had. There is nothing better than a client that is responsive. Guy's feedbacks were quick, and my emails were always answered right away. He also knows exactly what he wants – if he doesn't like something he is very honest about it, and at the same time he contributes with new ideas.
2) I got to read an amazing book that is not even out yet!
-I read "Enchantment" in two days. One hundred pages in the first day and the remaining one hundred the next day. I have to say, I wasn't even thinking about the project anymore… I just couldn't put the book down. It is inspiring, fun to read, and Guy's words are truly enchanting in this book.
3) Guy Kawasaki has his own fonts!
-As I said, it only got better and better. The initial directions were to use only standard fonts since the file will be projected from many different machines running a variety of systems and Powerpoint versions. After I sent Guy the first draft, he got back to me with two fonts that were custom made for him by Duarte Designs! :) I have to say, there is no better way to personalize a deck of slides than having your own fonts! After all, I am sure Guy can ask people to install his fonts if they want him to speak in their events, right!? ;)
4) This project required the best designing skills one can have!
-This was the first presentation design that required me to spend more hours working in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop than in Powerpoint itself. The smallest details were crucial, the graphics had to be original, images sometimes had to be enhanced and/or corrected, and I had to learn and improve my skills as a designer along the way.
5) Trust and open-mindness!
-Although we've never met in person, Guy always trusted me from the very beginning. He believed in my skills and never questioned my work ethics. Guy never asked me to sign a contract or a non-disclosure agreement. He never even mentioned anything about it. In fact, he encouraged me to write up this blog post about how we met on Twitter and tell the whole story about working with him on this project. He also said I could even share the entire presentation if I wanted. That just shows me how truthful he is to the message of his book and how confident he is as a public speaker, and I admire him even more for that.
-I don't understand why some designers got mad at Guy when he decided to launch a book cover design contest on CrowdSpring for the Enchantment book. I loved that he did it that way and I submitted my own design too. It's the only way that the unknown designers will have a chance to do something so cool and for someone like Guy Kawasaki… My guess is that the "big" designers were so upset because they are actually afraid of the "nobodies", but eventually they will realized it was silly to get mad. You have to be open-minded to create and participate in a design contest. With that same open-mindness, Guy gave me the chance of working on his presentation.
Note: In case you didn't notice, the winner design of the book cover contest was the inspiration for the opening and closing slides of the presentation. My design did not win, but I had fun making it and participating in the contest (you can see the design I submitted in my Illustrator samples page).
'No likey' things about designing "Enchantment":
1) Powerpoint!
-Using Powerpoint was a requirement due to the fact that Guy usually gives his speech on a thumbdrive to an AV person running Windows at conferences. I have to admit that there are a few things (very few!) that I like better in Powerpoint than in Keynote, but for the most part I really dislike this software. Since this is a big part of my work, I obviously had to learn how to live in peace with this failing tool, but sometimes Powerpoint really gets on my nerves. It just doesn't know how to handle media! One high resolution image is already enough to slow down the loading time of the presentation. Imagine when you work with a deck of 50 slides that carries several high quality images and vector graphics! I was in the verge of a nervous breakdown, the presentation was literally taking minutes to load every time I simply changed the slides viewer mode! Add to that the fact that things did not look quite right in a couple of complex slides when Guy opened the file in his computer. That's something that never – and I mean n.e.v.e.r. – happens with Keynote. Whatever the slide layout you have in your computer, it will be the same thing your client will see when he opens the file in his own computer, right!? That's just a basic working feature and it shouldn't be such an impossible science for Microsoft to figure out. Anyway… I don't even want to get started on this topic here.
2) The pressure!
-Guy Kawasaki! Do I need to say anything else? Oh yeah… in fact I would have to add that he told Nancy Duarte that I was designing his new preso and she was very interested in the outcome. The good news is that he did send Nancy the final version and she told him that she really liked it! :) Duarte Designs made Guy's last presentation and that's one of the things I had to use as a starting point. My design had to be at least as good as the one from Duarte, which was really awesome!
-This presentation will be delivered many times and in many countries in the future. Thousands of people will see and criticize the design, and this is definitely an extra pressure, even though it is also a great motivation.
3) Working 17 hours on a Sunday!
-By the time I finished reading the book it was Saturday night. That's when I built the skeleton of the presentation. That's also when I saw myself exchanging emails with Guy Kawasaki at 1:15am and thought "Hm, maybe I should go to bed now!". The next – or should I say same – day, Sunday, I woke up at 6:30am and worked non-stop until 11:30pm. I promised I would deliver the first draft on Sunday night (and I did!), the final version had to be delivered on Monday night.
4) Never getting to meet Guy Kawasaki in person!
-We did everything remotely, from meeting each other via Twitter to exchanging files via MobileMe and Dropbox. That's actually how I like to work, but I still hope to meet Guy in person someday… and also work with him again in the future.
Anyway, I guess these are the main points I wanted to talk about in this blog post. It's hard to tell the whole story in details here, but I hope this post is good enough to illustrate the best experience I've ever had as a Presentation Designer. It was very intense and overwhelming… but my effort was well worth it and I am sure there is still much more rewarding opportunities to come from this.
Closing slide of "Enchantment – The Art of Changing Hearts, Minds, and Actions":
Guy Kawasaki delivered this presentation for the first time at Cisco Systems last week. I believe this will be the same deck of slides he will also use at the SXSW 2011 Festival and many other speaking events around the world. I am sharing only a few slides on my online portfolio, consider it a teaser! By the way, Guy also asked me to design some "Enchantment" wallpapers for him to give away, you can see some of them in my Illustrator samples page.

Cottage Industry: Architect Gert Wingardh's Gothenburg Home
A family renovates a rustic, 17th-century cottage on the Swedish coast, transforming it into a sleek and stylish new take on country life
By ROBERT COLONNA D'ISTRIA. Originally published in ELLE DECORATION France
Dining Room
When they purchased the 17th-century cottage in the early 1990s, Wingardh and his wife, Karin, loved its coastal location in the countryside, and its classic, though cramped, layout. With time they added to the house, being careful to retain its charm while adapting it to 21st-century needs.
The dining room of Gert and Karin Wingardh's country house on the Swedish coast features a picture window with an invisible frame. The custom-made table is surrounded by Superleggera chairs by Gio Ponti; Karin designed the pendant lights, and the floor lamp is by Tobia Scarpa. The floors are stone, and the walls and ceiling are made of wood planks painted green.

Certainly one of the chief guarantees of freedom under any government, no matter how popular and respected, is the right of the citizens to keep and bear arms. This is not to say that firearms should not be carefully used and that definite safety rules of precaution should not be taught and enforced. But the right of the citizens to bear arms is just one guarantee against arbitrary government and one more safeguard against a tyranny which now appears remote in America, but which historically has proved to be always possibleHubert H. Humphrey

Then hail! thou noble conqueror! That, when tyranny oppressed, hewed for our fathers from the wild. A land wherein to rest.Mary Elizabeth Hewitt
America has been a land of dreams. A land where the aspirations of people from countries cluttered with rich, cumbersome, aristocratic, ideological pasts can reach for what once seemed unattainable. Here they have tried to make dreams come true. Yet now... we are threatened by a new and particularly American menace. It is not the menace of class war, of ideology, of poverty, of disease, of illiteracy, or demagoguery, or of tyranny, though these now plague most of the world. It is the menace of unrealityDaniel J. Boorstin
Depend upon it, nothing can be got by fraternizing with trades unions. They are founded upon principles of brutal tyranny and monopoly. I would rather live under a Dey of Algiers than a Trades Committee.Richard Cobden
By his willingly renouncing self-defence, the Christian affirms his absolute adherence to Jesus, and his freedom from the tyranny of his own ego. The exclusiveness of this adherence is the only power which can overcome evil.Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Advocates of capitalism are very apt to appeal to the sacred principles of liberty, which are embodied in one maxim: The fortunate must not be restrained in the exercise of tyranny over the unfortunateBertrand Russell
God knows it did not cross our minds to attack the towers but after the situation became unbearable and we witnessed the injustice and tyranny of the American-Israeli alliance against our people in Palestine and Lebanon, I thought about it. And the events that affected me directly were that of 1982 and the events that followed -- when America allowed the Israelis to invade Lebanon, helped by the U.S. Sixth Fleet. As I watched the destroyed towers in Lebanon, it occurred to me punish the unjust the same way (and) to destroy towers in America so it could taste some of what we are tasting and to stop killing our children and women.Osama bin Laden
Freedom of the mind requires not only, or not even especially, the absence of legal constraints but the presence of alternative thoughts. The most successful tyranny is not the one that uses force to assure uniformity, but the one that removes awareness of other possibilities.Alan Bloom
Any ideal system is its own worst enemy, and as soon as you start to implement these visions of grandeur, they just fall apart and turn into a complete tyranny.Ben Nicholson
There are few minds to which tyranny is not delightful.Samuel Johnson
He (Thomas Paine) saw oppression on every hand; injustice everywhere; hypocrisy at the altar; venality on the bench, tyranny on the throne; and with a splendid courage he espoused the cause of the weak against the strong.Robert Green Ingersoll
The one pervading evil of democracy is the tyranny of the party that succeeds, by force or fraud, in carrying elections.Lord Acton
This war in Vietnam is, I believe, a war for civilization. Certainly it is not a war of our seeking. It is a war thrust upon us and we cannot yield to tyranny.Francis Cardinal Spellman

September 23, 2014
FRONTIERS MUSIC Srl Set To Release
WHITESNAKE's LIVE IN 84 - BACK TO THE BONE,
New DVD/CD With Classic And Rare
Performances Available For The First Time.
WHITESNAKE fans worldwide now have something to be excited about! To celebrate the 30th Anniversary of WHITESNAKE's multi-platinum 'Slide It In' album, Frontiers Music Srl, the Italian-based label, will release "Live In '84 - Back To The Bone", a complete celebration of the group's awe inspiring lineup during what many feel was the incredible beginning of what Coverdale called his desire to make Whitesnake more 'electrifying' on record & on stage.
Set for release in the EU on November 7th and in North America on November 11th, this release will be available in DVD and a Deluxe CD/DVD edition.
Culled from audio and video recordings & unheard demos from the private collection of WHITESNAKE leader and vocalist, David Coverdale, the release offers an ultra-rare collection of material, performed by the band's acclaimed 83-84 line-ups. Featured on the record & driven by the awesome Cozy Powell on drums (ex- Jeff Beck Group, Rainbow, MSG and later on Gary Moore and Black Sabbath, among others); Unique guitarist John Sykes, whom Coverdale credits with inspiring a whole generation of six stringers after his breathtaking work on the WHITESNAKE '87' album & Bassist Exceptionale Neil Murray.
There is also an extraordinary emotional bonus content featuring legendary keyboardist Jon Lord performing his last show ever with WHITESNAKE on video & also the bonus CD.
"It's still hard for me to find the words when remembering that half the incredible band who originally recorded the 'Slide It In' album with me have passed away," says Coverdale. "It's incredibly difficult to articulate: Cozy Powell...Mel Galley...Jon Lord…All amazing people and amazing musicians. Their memories live on in our hearts & in the music they made. I miss them beyond words… Wait until you see & hear them playing as only they can and add in the fiery guitar assault of the incredibly gifted John Sykes, plus the relentless melodic bass pounding of Neil Murray."
Coverdale and co-producer Michael McIntyre launched a worldwide search for the best quality video footage and audio tracks from the 1984 tour. Among the gems found was a set from: 'Super-Rock', recorded at the first Japanese rock festival at Seibu Stadium in Tokyo and an invaluable video of Jon Lord's final appearance with WHITESNAKE recorded live in Sweden. "All of the features on this package have been treated lovingly & respectfully, with no expense spared, utilizing technology to improve sound & picture quality," says Coverdale, who personally oversaw all elements of this release.
Concludes Coverdale, "These are memories I treasure and delight in sharing with you as we continue our celebration of the 30th Anniversary of WHITESNAKE's 'Slide It In."

One of the first, if not the first, guitarists to put his name forward after hearing that Doug Aldrich had left the band, was an exceptionally talented musician whom we had met briefly last year when his band opened for Whitesnake in Arizona.
Everyone was very impressed by him, not only for his ability to play amazing guitar, but, also, his very agreeable personality & he was definitely foremost in our minds when we began to search for Doug's replacement in Whitesnake.
We jammed together & were mutually impressed enough to ask him to join Whitesnake on the spot. This was May 30th. 2014.
Joel is currently fulfilling his remaining tour dates with Night Ranger.
We sincerely thank you all for your patience & understanding...& so, without further ado, we ask you to welcome, as we have done, our exceptionally gifted new Snake Brother...

The first time I ate a fresh pear, I was roughly twelve years old. The flavor concerned me, and I asked my mom if there was something wrong with it. You see, I grew up on Hamburger Helper, Kraft macaroni and cheese, and Dole fruit cocktail in heavy syrup (still a favorite of mine–the maraschino cherries!). It wasn't till my twelfth year that my parents finished grad school and finally had the time and money to introduce fresh foods into mine and my sister's diet. It was a bit of an adjustment. Even at school we were used to eating processed foods.
My sister and I still give our younger brother and sister a hard time for being born a decade after us and getting to take advantage of dad's newfound love for cooking. This is something that I talk to my dad about a lot, and he says that not finding ways for us to eat healthier earlier is one of his biggest regrets. It has taken me a while, but I have slowly but surely introduced every variety of food into my diet and learned how to cook along the way. Eating and preparing fresh foods brings me so much joy and keeps me healthy. The infographic below discusses the importance of educating children on food, and not just any food, real, healthy food.

When I was a kid, this was called home economics and it was, in retrospect, a really valuable class for girls and boys. It was my foundation for becoming a decent home cook
and my first exposure to "new foods" (a.k.a. fresh foods). Like art, music,
and physical education, "home ec" seems to be another curriculum casualty
in the US education race to the bottom.
Lauren B
This is true. And where "home ec" does still exist, it is more about making purchases than making things from scratch.
Or instead of blaming the schools you could blame the parents. Get your kids in the kitchen and helping. Cook at home where they can see you. Jesus if they're old enough pick a night once a week where they have to cook. The failure here isn't just the education system. Teachers aren't the ones who are supposed to be raising y our kids.

Just don't give a damn
By Frankie Darcell
Forgive me if what I'm about to say sounds harsh. But I do so because I'm done. Done with your opinion of me and what I do. Your opinion has made me, on occasion, change what I believed to be the best route for my journey. I gave what you had to say about my life more value than my own wants and desires for me. So forgive me if when you speak to me I look at and through you as if you are a stranger, because from your mouth to my ears I believe only a person I did not know would ask me to give up on my dream. I sacrificed, I've waited patiently for my turn to come and it never did. The kids, the house, the career, the timing — I waited and my turn never came in this relationship. So forgive me if what you have to say means nothing to me anymore. In other words, I just don't give a damn.

Former Arizona State guard Tron Smith finally has a home. UC Riverside announced Monday the Moreno Valley, Calif., native will join the team immediately and be eligible to play for the Highlanders at the end of the fall quarter.
He will have at least two years of eligibility remaining. Smith began attending classes at Riverside on Monday.
Rated the sixth-best shooting guard recruit in the nation by ESPN.com in 2003, Smith shot just 31.6 percent from the floor in 17 games last season at ASU. With so much depth in the backcourt this season, Smith had fallen out of the Devils' playing rotation and requested a transfer a few days before the season opener against Jackson State on Nov. 21.
ASU point guard Tyrone Jackson called his Stanford counterpart, Chris Hernandez, a few days ago to talk a little smack.
"I just wanted to be sure to tell him we're going to beat them," said Jackson, whose team plays the Cardinal Thursday in Palo Alto, Calif.
Jackson and Hernandez were teammates on the same AAU team in Fresno, Calif., from fifth grade through high school.
Bryson Krueger still expects to play this weekend in the Bay Area, but the ankle he sprained Dec. 28 vs. Long Island is still tender.
"Jumping is the biggest thing," Krueger said. "When I come down I can't jump high to get rebounds. I'm still trying to favor it."
Krueger appeared to tweak it at one point in Tuesday's practice when he landed awkwardly. He took several moments to shake it off and is hoping it won't be an injury that lingers through lack of rest.
"That's one of the things I was questioning, but they know what they're doing here," Krueger said of the team's training staff.
Coach Rob Evans still determines his rotation on feel and the flow of the game. But one player who appears to have worked his way into the rotation is freshman Craig Austin, a 6-foot-10 forward who had a block in four minutes against Arizona Sunday.
Evans likes Austin's skills, work ethic and coachability. He also got a good tip from Austin's mother, Jamie, when considering redshirting Austin.
"She told me, 'My son will work hard as long as he has something to work toward like a couple of minutes a game,' " Evans said. "She was absolutely correct."
