CEO Alex Marchetti transformed Whitestone Marketing back into a marketing service provider
Published on July 19, 2011
Whitestone Marketing was created to help business colleagues needing marketing consulting and direct mailing services. CEO Alex Marchetti talks about losing focus and getting back on the path to marketing services provider.
Alex Marchetti: Alex Marchetti, president and CEO of Whitestone Marketing Group. Our company was launched based upon friends that I had that were looking for some marketing consulting folks to come in and help them build some strategies that were going to be some direct mail campaigns. Having a graphic design background and having a marketing degree I said sure and I asked him what was involved and they told us. We created the campaigns for them and he said, "But we need to have these mailed.", and I said, "Well we don't really have any mail capabilities, but we'll look into that." I said, "Are you sure you're going to get this contract?", and he said, "Absolutely." I said, "How much is it?" He said, "$100,000." I said, "Okay, we'll be back in a week." In a week we came back and decided we could buy a tabletop inkjetter and a tabber for about $40,000 of which we did and from that point in time we struggled with the operational aspect of that because our focus was we're a creative people. We're a strategic people and we thought that by insuring the quality we would insure the quality if we were able to bring in the equipment. Well we were very successful because we spent 20 hours a day working on this and actually tabbing by hand in some cases that we got more clients and as more clients came in we bought more equipment and before you knew it we had three inkjets and we had two Series 8 Pitney Bowes inserters and we had a 10,000 square foot warehouse all for an operational support of what we were doing from a consulting practice.
We topped out at about 75 employees and we did get one political mailing campaign that we ended up with 40 temporary employees coming in on top of our 75. At that point in time I said to myself I think we've lost our way. We did a very good job and we continued to get business, but I am not an operational person and I do believe that the engineering technology side of this I can understand that. However, my expertise remained over on the strategic conceptual side, so with that we began selling off our production equipment with the agreement that the people that we sold this to, the companies that we sold this to would be our partners and we then were able to go back and refocus on our expertise and our core competencies while we were able to push this back over to some other companies that had core competencies, build a great relationship and that was a total evolution and the reason that we did this is because we saw the evolution within the industry that becoming more complex. There were more channels available and that it was going to become more and more difficult to figure out how to integrate these channels and as we see this marketing in itself has not changed and we have a formal education in marketing and communications. Marketing has not changed. What has changed is the available channels that you have to communicate and thereby becoming a very complex issue. So I would encourage anyone who considers becoming a marketing services provider to really define what that is and what that transition is to that point where you want to be a marketing services provider. It's a long transition, but it can be to your benefit if you can scope it out and plan it properly.

Color management works, and it has been available to designers and printers for more than 25 years. Why then do we still make mistakes in color reproduction? Shoshana Burgett of X-Rite Pantone notes that CM has to be understood as something more than calibrating a monitor. It is a set of steps, processes, and tools that must be in place across the entire production workflow, always with monitoring for continuous improvement. Designers who want color to be consistent in all the channels they are now responsible for can find the help they need in CM, Burgett says.

Excellent service. We ordered months in advance, received a confirm (AND DISCOUNT FOR EARLY BOOKING), and the order was there right on time. I also received a text, email, and voicemail confirm my order was there. Efficient service, as usual.
We had planned a trip to disney with our 3 kids- and knowing that snacks and water would be outrageously priced in the park we opted to use garden grocer- prices were reasonable- and they delivered as promised on time. I fully intend to use them again for any subsequent visits to Florida
Fantastic service, great updates so you know exactly what's going on with your order while you're traveling. I thought the product prices would be inflated, but that was not the case! Same prices as if I purchased the items myself in the Orlando area. Made our vacation that much more enjoyable and stress free. Thank you!!

The last time Family Guy lobbied for an Emmy award, it was accused of anti-Semitism.
In a mailshot sent out to Emmy voters, the makers of the irreverent comedy said: "Come on, you bloated, overprivileged Brentwood Jews. Let us into your little club."
The joke, although typical of many in the show, didn't go down at all well, with several trade magazines refusing to run it.
Many expected Seth MacFarlane and the rest of the team at Family Guy would be playing it safe with this year's Emmy campaign for best comedy, but not so.
The team are courting controversy again, telling Emmy voters: "Here's a load of comedy to shoot on your chest."
The "For Your Consideration" ad spoofs the hit HBO show Girls, with Family Guy characters posing as stars characters from Lena Dunham's acclaimed comedy.
The racy tagline is reference to an infamous episode of Girls in which one of the male characters ejaculates on the woman he's dating.
The ad has the blessing of Family Guy's bankrollers, Twentieth Century Fox TV, which paid for it.

An excellent spot and wonderful place to stay. You get the full experience of Seychelles and a more traditional feel other than the tourist and visitor. I would use this place over and over again.AaronAugust 2015
Sandra hat uns rundum super betreut war immer für alle unsere Anliegen zu erreichen und hat sich sofort darum gekümmert . Die Wohnung ist super gemütlich mit schönem Balkon auf den wir die meiste zeit verbracht haben da wir von dort aus eine tolle Aussicht aufs Meer hatten . Ein Auto ist zu empfehlen aber das braucht man auf Mahe sowie so. Besten Dank noch einmal an Sandra und ihrem Bruder der uns von der Fähre ab geholt hat !!!!siggiMarch 2016
Sandra and her family were extremely hospitable, took great care of us staying in her place just near the beautiful snorkeling waters of Maccabee in the very north of Seychelles Mahe island. We loved every day in the place and enjoyed it very much. Even welcome fruits were provided .LeonidJanuary 2016
Our hostess made us feel at home. The flat was nice and clean, all the necessary comfs included. We were welcomed at the airport and brought to the apartment. We were pleased to find fruits on the table and some food in the fridge(eggs, milk, butter, jam and bread). The balcony was our fav place with an amazing view of the coast which was really fascinating. Beatiful beach nearby, the opportunity to hire a car. Relaxing and pleasant atmosphere.IrinaNovember 2015
Sandra was extremely friendly and helpful at all times. Sandra provided detailed information on car hire, functions taking place on the Island and it was a pleasure to have stayed at her place. Everything was fantastic.JohnOctober 2016
Sandra nous a accueilli avec des fruits frais, de l'eau, de quoi se faire des petits déjeuners et un portable pour les appels et tout ceci gratuitement ! Un super appartement avec vue sur la mer où nous avons pris tout nos petits déjeuners ! Emplacement pratique mais nécessité d'avoir une voiture de location malgré tout. Un super séjour, une adresse et une hôte que je recommande vivement !Anaïs September 2016
Sandra's room is perfect . I feel so comfortable . They have nice balcony to see the ocean. You can hear the wave sounds when you sleep.i like it. She prepared toast , eggs , fruits ,waters for us. If you rent the car it's perfect place. You can go to Victoria and bauballon easily . To drive it takes 15-20mins. Thank you for Sandra . She is perfect host !HanaFebruary 2016
Sandra was a great host und very communicative. She provided us with fruits and needs for the first breakfast. That was very kind. The apartment was very clean an comfortable. We really enjoyed sitting on the little terrace for breakfast and at night to enjoy the ocean view. You can just jump in the water across the street where you can find a natural pool. We can really recommend her place. Thanks for everything and all the best.JanaMay 2016

Gene's apartment is really nice and big, with all the amenities for your stay in Mahé Seychelles. The balcony is perfect for breakfast with the view on garden / ocean. It's perfectly located in a nice area (Machabee), which is a residential neighbourhood so it's quiet but really near from Beauvallon and Victoria (15min by car each). Gene is a lovely person with whom you can discuss easily and will help you for your airport tranfer and car rental. We would love to stay in her flat for our next trip in Seychelles.JeremyApril 2013
Gene and Philipp were the most wonderful hosts. They picked us up from the airport and from that moment on we felt very welcome. They also invited us into their place for a amazing local dinner and gave us insights into the Seychellois culture. Both are warmhearted openminded people and it was a pleasure getting to know them. The Studio itself was even better than advertised in the pictures. It is located in the north of the island, close to some of the most beautiful beaches we've ever seen. The area is great for snorkelling too!! If you want to get to know the Seychellois culture while staying in a really nice appartment, you won't find a better place on the island to do so!MichaelMarch 2014
The flat is exactly as is advertised - lovely spacious clean double bedroom flat with kitchen and bathroom located near stunning beaches. Tastefully done so that it feels like home. Balcony overlooks the sea and one of the highlights was sitting having breakfast here. We cooked everyday and the kitchen is very well equipped. Car parking off road Great hostess who provides plenty of helpful local information. Overall a brilliant flat. Hire car a must. Thank youChrisSeptember 2015
Gene's apartment has everything one needs, it is clean, has a lovely, spacious terrace and is across the road from the ocean. You can hear the waves crashing at the shore. Gene is attentive host; she picked us up from the airport, introduced us to her husband and children and shared information about the island. The apartment is across a road from a small beach and within a short distance of some gorgeous beaches, although you may need a car to get there. Parking is right outside the apartment; maybe 4 meters from the front door.LadislavMarch 2013
Our stay with Gene and Philip was absolutely heartwarming. I have rarely met such genuinely kind and warm people. They take care of you as if you are family. I can recommend this place to everyone. I would come back to Seychelles, just to meet this amazing couple. On top of that, the house is extremely clean, well decorated, well located and charming.Sophie LisaApril 2016
We had a lovely stay in Machabee. Gene provided lots of information, instructions for immigration, tourist highlights and restaurant summaries that were very helpful pre-arrival! She was very quick to respond and was a kind and gracious host. We felt very comfortable in her apartment and have very fond memories to take with us. The location was not too far to drive for supermarkets, restaurants and ATMs. Would recommend to anyone!aliciaOctober 2015
Gene has been the most wonderful host ever! She picked us up from the ferry, rented a car and provided all the facilities and homelly atmosphere for us. There's no place like Machabee: perfect location (10 sec from bus stop, 15 min to Beau Vallon, 20 min to Victoria), cosy, clean, quiet, with WiFi, air conditioned and friendly. A perfect choice for nature lovers: you can see and hear the ocean from the terrace. We hope to come back one day! Thank you Gene:)MaciejApril 2013

I would like to thank Arno for his wonderful house and always being ready to help. The house appeared exactly just as it was on the pictures. A very quiet neighborhood not far away from the central touristic attraction - Beau Vallon with all the stores and supermarkets. The house and the garden just wonderful for children. The house itself is very cosy with all the necessary equipment. And a marvelous terrace for an evening tea. Air conditioning was a true blessing. There is a great nature "jacuzzi" just next to the house and a number of very nice beaches not far away from the house.AlexandraApril 2015
It was very pleasure to stay at Arno's place. I'm highly recommend it for staying at Seychelles. Thank you for everything!PavelJune 2015
Perfect Villa with Perfect view for North coast ! Arno was very helpfull for us, booked car, and allow us to check in early! We fairly recommend.MarcinJune 2016
Dieses Haus war einfach toll. Sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet, sehr viel Platz und eine riesige Terrasse mit schönem Ausblick. Das Haus liegt an der Küstenstraße und es geht ein paar Meter sehr steil bergauf! Der Bus hält an der Küstenstraße in höhe des Hauses (also sehr nah) dennoch ist ein Auto von Vorteil - auch für die Einkäufe etc. Der Strand/Ort Beau Vallon ist ca. 15 Minuten mit dem Auto erreichbar - dort kann man schön baden, essen, einkaufen etc. Arno hat alles wunderbar organisiert: Abholservice, Mietwagen etc. Auf jede Frage/Anfrage kam einige Minuten später schon ein Feedback! Vor Ort kümmerte sich seine Mutter um alles und die Haushaltshilfe, die auch ganz hervorragend für uns gekocht hat (man konnte auch dabei zusehen und so viel über die kreolische Küche lernen) hielt das Haus sauber und dekorierte die Betten täglich so schön, dass man kaum ins Bett gehen wollte! Also wirklich ein perfektes Urlaubsdomizil!GabrieleSeptember 2015
Ottima sistemazione, casa comoda e fornita di tutti i confort. Arno e la madre hanno dato supporto per ogni ns esigenza in modo cordiale e molto attento. Raccomando vivamente questa soluzione per chi volesse trascorrere una vacanza in totale relax. La soluzione dell'house keeping e' fantastica, trasforma una gestione house in un vero e proprio hotel aggiungendo tranquillità e la massima libertà per una vacanza al top. OttimofedericoAugust 2016
Staying in this house felt so much like HOME; we didn't want to leave! It has a beautiful interior and and a gorgeous view of the ocean to greet you every morning. It's got everything we needed, from kitchenware to toiletries, and much more. It truly made our Seychelles experience a trip to remember!JeromeAugust 2015
Nous avons été très bien accueillis ! La maison est superbe et très bien entretenue. Le cadre est calme et très agréable. Par contre la plage en dessous de la maison est sale et ne mérite pas de s'y attarder. Une voiture est indispensable pour pouvoir se déplacer vers d'autres magnifiques endroits. A 15 min, il y a la plage de Beau Vallon qui est un endroit très agréable avec des enfants. Un séjour excellent dont nous garderons un très bon souvenir ! We were very well welcomed ! The house is magnificent and very well maintained. The area is quiet and very pleasant. On the other hand the beach below the house is dirty. A car is essential to be able to move towards other great places. In 15 min, there is Beau Vallon beach which is a very pleasant place with children. An excellent stay of which we shall keep one very good memory!PascalOctober 2016

Notre séjour a été trés agréable au Beachside studio de Lucy! Le studio est vraiment très mignon, joliment décoré et bénéficie d'une charmante terrasse. Nous avons adoré le réveil par le bruit des vagues et le chant des oiseaux... Le seul problème est que notre séjour a été trop court!StephanieNovember 2015
Lucy's Beachside Studio is a true hidden gem and we absolutely love love stay here!!! It is looks much bigger that in the pictures, very beautifully decorated, clean and has all the amenities you would need. The terrace is right off the bedroom and it has very cozy chairs and a picnic table. You can see the beach from the terrace which is just across the street. Another big plus was having access to a kitchen. We used it everyday to cook breakfast and dinner. Lucy and her husband made us feel very welcome. They offered to pick us from the airport and also filled the fridge with breakfast goodies for us to enjoy. Overall we loved our stay and highly recommend!Cris & JulesOctober 2015
Die Unterkunft ist sehr schön und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Die Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich.BettinaJanuary 2016
We had a very pleasant time at Lucy's Studio! Everything was perfect! The studio is even better than in the description. Lucy organized a car rental for us at the airport and welcomed us with a basic need of food. You can reach the closest beach by less than 1 minute walking and got some small supermarkets close by. If you have had any questions, you could be sure, that Lucy helped you out. Thank you so much for everything! And big kisses to Maya =)NilsDecember 2015
Stayed at the beachside apartment for 5 days with my girlfriend. It was a fabulous stay by many levels. Firstly the location could not have been more perfect, you are situated 3 minutes walking distance from the "Sandy Beach" which in my opinion is the most beautiful little beach in seychelles, perfect for snorkeling with plenty of fishes to see. The apartment itself is a fully standalone little studio with its own entrance, outside kitchen and a beautiful outside terrace perfect for romantic breakfasts and relaxation with views of the ocean waters. If you arrive by car there is plenty of parking space on the side of the road, and getting to the studio is simple enough from the airport. (Takes about 40min). The host is super welcoming and friendly, willing to answer any questions and very open to giving advice on the location of various activities across the island. The only slightly uncomfortable thing I and my girlfriend have noticed was flooring in the toilet/bathroom as it is a single floor as you take shower the sand gets everywhere and it becomes a bit difficult to wash it down. Value for money is great, for the beautiful, very neat and clean apartment that you get! Overall its a 4.5/5 starts for us.YakovSeptember 2016
We had fantastic holidays and the studio was perfect. Just 2-3 minutes walk from one of the most beautiful beaches in Mahe with some great snorkelling. The studio itself is very private, clean and well equipped. The location was perfect and we didn't have to rent a car as you can easily catch a bus or hitchhike to get around the island. The dogs and cats are additional benefit and make you feel like home. All of them are very friendly and since we love animals we truly enjoyed their company after days out. Lucy and Herve are great hosts and eager to help with any enquiries but at the same time leave you lots of privacy. We couldn't ask for better holidays and we will definitely recommend the studio to our friends and family. Thank you very much!!!AgnieszkaOctober 2016
We would highly recommend the accommodation at glacis. It was cosy, clean and there was everything we needed to feel comfortable. The beautyful beach and the busstop are only a few feet away. It was possible to use WIFI and the washing machine.MarcJuly 2016
Lucy's studio is perfect for romantic getaway. It is well equipped and cheerful and one can enjoy the view from the terrace. The pets are quite friendly. Lucy was very helpful from the beginning and although I did not meet her personally, the tips left in the book in the studio helped us a lot. The only inconvenience during our stay were the mosquitoes, as they bite relentlessly during sunset and sunrise, so make sure you have good mosquito repellent, preferably one with DEET. I would gladly book this place again despite this little nuisance. Thank you, Lucy!ViktorijaDecember 2016

Anna deals with the Airbnb listing, but the actual host is Angele who meets you at the accommodation. Internet access is quite expensive on the Seychelles, so best to make all arrangements in advance. The apartment is on a hill in Bel Air, so when coming with bags, make sure you take a taxi or a hire car. Walking to the clock tower in Victoria takes about 15 minutes, with most of it going down hill. The roads tend to be small with no footpaths (generally on the Seychelles) so care is needed. Check-in wasn't 100% smooth. We agreed to call Angele from the nearby hotel so she would come and meet us, but she didn't, nevertheless we found the place with not too much difficulty with the directions from the hotel. I recommend making sure you get good directions in advance from Anna and agree a time and place to meet. Having said that, the apartment is spacious, clean. the bed was comfortable and the air conditioning worked fine - an essential to be able to sleep on the Seychelles! Our hosts were friendly and we had a nice chat on the terrace area before going to the carnival.MichaelMay 2016
We didn't enjoy our experience in Angele's appartment. We agreed that somebody would come to collect us from the ferry terminal. He was not there and we didn't have an exact adress. We lost one hour waiting.... We had to call Angele (an international and very expensive call) and take a taxi. The appartment is at 10 minuts walking from the road by stairs and very inclined street. We had to carry wth 2 big and heavy suitcases and I had a problem with my leg. It resulted very diffcult. The appartment was not clean, we found hairs in the bed and the bathroom was all dirty... The matress was very unconfortable. There is no privacy at all, it's a part of the owners appartment. You hear everything and they can hear you.Terrible! We slept one night because we arrivedin the evening and everything was closed, butnext morning we found another place and left.JustinaOctober 2015
j'ai passé 2 nuit dans L'appartement de Anna, qui n'est pas sur place, c'est Angele qui nous accueille, elle est tres gentille et prévenante !!! Bien se mettre d'accord avec Anna avant d'arriver pour localiser l'appartement qui n'est pas simple à trouver mais grace à ses indications aucun problème. l'appartement est conforme à la description et aux photos, environement très sympa et reposant. la ville de victoria n'est vraiment pas loin a pied par contre il faut prendre la bel air road qui descend vers la ville alors quand il faut revenir ca grimpa dur et éviter de revenir la nuit a pied a cause du non eclairage des rues et de la circulation parfois dangeureuse.CaroleJune 2016
We spent 2 nights in this appartment after our arrival by plane and our last night before we flight home. The host family was very friendly and dropped us to the ferry terminal, the airport and to the beach for a few rupies. Everything was great. Thanks!AlexanderJuly 2014
Our stay was "meh." The place itself is good, but we can't say it was clean, especially the bathroom and the kitchenette cabinets. When we first got there the AC remote was not in the room and when we asked about it there was some stuttering before we heard that "there was a problem with it." The owners said they would fix it the next day and in fact the remote showed up in the room the next morning, but after that we were reminded almost DAILY of how expensive electricity was in Seychelles. The highlight of the stay was their very friendly cat. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place.CarlosMay 2014
Великолепное место. Веранда с красивым видом. Приятные и милые хозяева, всегда помогали и подсказывали. К нашему приезду приготовили ужин с креольской кухней, было приятно. А когда мы уезжали они даже прослезились..да и мы тоже.. :) Мы жили в этом доме 40 дней, оно оказалось самым удобным в расположении, тк находится в столице острова, а это значит: большой выбор магазинов, автобусный терминал с которого можно добраться в любую точку острова всего за 5 рупий, местный колоритный рынок на который свозят со всего острова рыбу, фрукты и овощи( кстати сувениры дешевле покупать на рынке). Отдельное спасибо Анне! Таких людей мало..очень добрая, заботливая и отзывчивая девушка! Возилась с нами как с детишками :) Мы очень рады, что знакомы с таким хорошим человеком!RushanaFebruary 2014
While travelling to south africa we had a very nice stop-over stay in this place. Even my delayed check-in (due to an invalid passport ...ahh) and the extension of the stay were no obstacle. Nice chats with the hosts are inclusive.GinaApril 2014

Malgré une arrivée tardive, accueil chaleureux et préparé. Petit déjeuner (lait, thé, café, eau) prévu par l'hôte pour le premier matin. Appartement très spacieux et propre mais bruyant ( proche de la 4 voies et un bruit sourd de moteur). Emplacement dans Victoria, loin des plages mais pas gênant si on a une voiture.

Une réactivité parfaite et un appartement immense! MerciMathieuJanuary 2015
The apartment is located within a walking distance to the Victoria center (like 2km). The bus stops are right up front the building which is convenient. There are also a few supermarkets not far from the apartment. We met Deepa right the other morning after our arrival and she was really responsive to all our requirements (like there was some missing dishware in the kitchen). In general, the apartment was nice. But I would strongly recommend to pack some ear plugs with you if you get the apartment right under the roof. There are flocks of pigeons and they are extremely noisy in the morning.MartinaSeptember 2014
We found ourselves at short notice needing to find accommodation for one night in Mahe for four people, en route to the airport. Deepa's place was perfect - loads of space, comfortable beds, great location - near to two supermarkets and on one of the main bus routes to the airport as well as being 10 mins from Victoria town centre. The arrangements all worked extremely well and we particularly appreciated the good showers, plentiful towels and air conditioning. We also had tea coffee milk and water and a washing machine and Deepa was very generous about us arriving early and leaving late. I would happily recommend this as a good place to stay in Mahe and would say that it is particularly good value for money.AliceNovember 2015
The flat is quite big but so empty. Not very well located and secured. No comfort and a bit dirty! Our rooms have been so noisy (road outside). Moreover, for the checkout nobody has come at the definied time... We have sent à message to deepa but no answer. We have finally called the man who has done the check-in but nobody has come. The price is not justified ! Avoid this place!CarolineMay 2016
Lors de notre arrivée, nous étions attendus par notre hôte qui nous a remis les clés après nous avoir fait visiter le logement...Le logement est spacieux. Cependant, la propreté n'était pas au rendez-vous ( notamment cafards dans la chambre, sol collant, vaisselle collante...)... le quartier était mal situé, déplacement impossible de nuit à pied, et ne correspondait pas réellement à ce que nous souhaitions. Notre hôte était au rdv les matin lors de notre départ pour la remise des clés.pamelaOctober 2015
The bedrooms, bathrooms and living space are huge and clean, the furnishings are basic but effective and the a/c worked in one bedroom at least. The local area may not have much charm, but it is convenient foot access to Victoria. Excellent communication with the owner's rep.DaleNovember 2016

Point positif : tres bon rapport qualité/prix de la chambre, a côté de la plage de Beau Vallon. Points négatifs : proposer un taxi 30euros aéroport/appartement est une arnaque + harcèlement dans les messages Airbnb d'acheter 1 bouteille de whiskies etc, remboursement certes mais avec des magouilles sur le taux de change, bref autant ne pas se prendre la tête à acheter ca, ca ne provoque qu agacement ...ThéoFebruary 2016
Viraf offered a great apartment in the heart of the village. It was absolutely clean and I would choose it anytime again.ProchorMarch 2015
Nous avons passé deux nuits non consécutives chez Viraf. La deuxième nuit n'a pas eu lieu dans le même logement ce qui ne correspondait pas à la description sur le site. Les logements sont propres tout de même. L'accueil fût un peu survolté lors de notre 2ème passage mais nos hôtes se sont montrés très serviables.ChloéDecember 2015
I stayed in the apartment above the reception office that you can see in the photos. While it was small it was perfect for me. It had two verandas and with both doors open I had a nice breeze through the apartment. Staff there is very nice and accommodating. I also rented a car from Viraf. The price was right and the car was washed every night! The town of Beau Villon is very nice as are the surrounding villages. The snorkeling and diving there were spectacular.jayJune 2015
We never met the host, but one of his worker bees. We were picked up from the airport late at night and driven to the place - which was really appreciated. We got the studio room, which was big and the kitchen was well equipped. The tv is a bit useless but we didn't need to use it. The aircon is an extra charge of 20 euros a night which is a bit steep, so we stuck to the fan which worked well. We cooked about 3 times, otherwise there are about 4 restaurants down the road which are decent (5 min walk). The safe is rather large, the caretakers were super friendly so we felt super safe, and there is also a night guard for the block. The best part was the value for money and that Beau Vallon beach was a 5 min walk away. We also hired a car from Viraf and that was really much appreciated - much better than doing it from the airport. I would definitely recommend staying here.JustinDecember 2015
The accommodation was perfectly located, pretty close to supermarket and the beach, it only takes a few minutes to reach everything. The accommodation itself is pretty close and you do not have a real door for the bathroom. Moreover, if you want to use the AC you have to pay 10 Euro a day, but the fan is for free. Jeffrey, a guy who worked for Viraf picked us up from the airport because we booked a car with them, we never saw or met Viraf. They offered us a drop-off to the airport for 35 Euro, which was quite expensive and we found a cheaper alternative. Every morning a cleaning lady knocked on the door to clean your room, even if you do not want them to clean they will come in and a second lady will enter the apartment as well to check if everything is clean. However, if you want to spent some cheap days on the Seychelles in a small room we would recommend the accommodation to everyone!MerleApril 2016
What a great location! Viraf and his staff were very friendly and organised, the apartment was well equipped and the Wifi was good. Just 3min walking down the street and I was at Beau Vallon beach (the best beach in Mahé! don't miss the snorkling and boat tours) and 3min up the street and I was at the bus stop (Victoria city is just 10min drive from here). Thank you very much for having me!InesOctober 2015
My partner and I stayed at Viraf's apartment for four days. It was in the perfect location: 10 minute walk to the beach, 5 minute walk to a great little supermarket, and a 2 minute walk to the bus stop. We had a great view of the mountains and the property was lush with gorgeous flowers. Viraf sent one of his colleagues to pick us from the airport who provided us with a handy little tourist guide and told us all about the islands. The apartment was cleaned everyday and we felt very secure within the gated compound. We had no issues whatsoever and would love to stay again!CaraMay 2016

She attended to our questions & needs (e.g. Driver) patiently and promptly. We fully recommend Laura's place and we are thankful to her for her gracious hospitality. We hope to be back if she'll have us. Thanks, Laura.BanafshehNovember 2016
This is a beautiful spot on Mahé, close to the capital Victoria. The apartment is spotless, spacious, and beautifully appointed with spectacular views from the large terrace and two of the bedrooms. The Eden Island development is exceptionally tranquil and safe. The home is equipped with absolutely everything that one might need (plenty of pans, pots, plates, silverware, etc.) Laura was helpful before arrival, and we were met by her local assistant who also cleaned and cooked for us. Eden Island is idyllic, but I'd recommend renting a car if you plan to visit some of the nicer beaches that are on the opposite side of the island. Also, don't forget to visit the other two major islands--they're well worth seeing!LeoOctober 2016

Seychelles is beautiful and so is this house. Pretty studio with a gorgeous view. Gene was an amazing host and went out of her way to help us throughout the stay.NamrataJanuary 2016
Came to Seychelles for the second time already and decided to stay with Gene again, for the first time had already been a blast. So now we opted for another apartment and we liked it even more. Such a great view of the ocean, such a nice and comfortable place, just perfect for everybody who likes to live in a "real" place and who also wants to enjoy real Seychellois nature (like birds, plants etc.). Gotta be in a good physical condition though, because the hill and stairs are steep. Hiring a car recommended. We highly recommend this place! 3ChristinaNovember 2016
We are very happy to have spent some wonderful days with Gene and Philip in their lovely apartment. They were such friendly and kind hosts helping us to learn more about the island and people living there. We were picked up at the airport and Gene showed us everything. The view from the balcony was just fabulous. We enjoyed very much our visit on the island and the friendly people there. Therefore we can only recommend everybody this charming studio and hope to come back one day. ErjaErjaApril 2014
Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit in Genes Studio. Wir wurden freundlich empfangen und haben immer wieder Tipps und Ideen für die Gestaltung unseres Urlaubs bekommen. Die Buchungen für den Mietwagen und Boottrips hat Gene für uns organisiert. Danke dafür! Das Studio ist schön gelegen mit Blick auf das Meer, etwa 20 Min von Vicoria und 15 Min nach Beau Vallon Bay. Ein Mietwagen empfiehlt sich daher, wenn man die Insel erkunden möchte. Tolle Strände auch schon in der Nähe (l'ilot), 5 Min mit Auto. Immer gerne wieder!DanielOctober 2014
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans ce studio ! Gene est une hôte chaleureuse. Nous avions échangé par mail avant le séjour, elle est venue nous chercher à l'aéroport et tout de suite la conversation fût joyeuse. Elle a été disponible pendant le séjour pour répondre à nos quelques questions, et nous a aidé à louer une voiture. Son mari aussi est très sympathique. Ils vivent dans une maison prôche du studio. Pour ce qui est de l'appartement : il est confortable. La vue est SUPERBE. Nous avons eu l'agréable surprise de découvrir qu'il possède maintenant une grande terrasse couverte, avec beaucoup de charme. L'appartement est un peu sur les hauteurs ce qui permet d'avoir un peu d'air marin, appréciable quand il fait chaud. Il n'y a aucun voisin mitoyen à l'appartement, ni sur les côtés, ni au-dessus , ni en-dessous. L'arrêt de bus est vraiment très prôche. Le bus ne coûte que 30 centimes d'euros pour un trajet, aussi long qu'il soit , et passe très régulièrement. Seul point noir : il est difficile de diner dehors le soir, car les bus s'arrêtent vers 20h. Nosu avons loué 3 jours une voiture pour êter plus libres (45euros par jour) Sinon : les paysages sont sublimes, la mer délicieuse, les seychellois sympathiques, les poissons fameux... Nous aimerions pouvoir y revebir au plus viteSophieMarch 2013
We had a wonderful stay at the Charming Studio. The Ocean View is magnificent and the place is very peaceful and relaxing. Gene and her husband are very welcoming and will help you organize your trip, which is very appreciable (car hiring, places to go etc.). Bus stops are near and it is very easy to go all over Mahe. A perfect stay, I recommend!CelineMay 2013
We had the most fantastic trip to Mahe and staying here! Gene organised for us to get picked up at the airport at no extra charge which was a bonus and she was so welcoming when we arrived at the beautiful apartment. Coconuts were waiting, along with some very considerate extras to keep us going until we made a shopping trip - eg, coffee, milk, eggs and bread. Gene even kindly lent us money for the bus as we forgot to change ours at the airport! The apartment was perfect for 2 of us, was very clean, airy and the balcony and it's view was absolutely stunning. We loved nothing more than relaxing on the balcony with a Seybrew watching the sea, birds and fruitbats. Gene gave us plenty of information about where to go, places to eat and made us feel right at home straight away. Her family even kindly bought us back a couple of local delicacies from the Beau Vallon market- black pudding (spicy & delicious) and some toddy (an acquired taste!) The apartment is situated in a quiet area and only a 20 min bus ride to the busier Beau Vallon beach. The bus stops are right outside the apartment and only 5 rupees per person which is amazing value for money! We got a couple of taxis while we were there, but perfectly happy with the buses as they are quite regular if you can get your timings right. Minutes away is a beautiful lagoon which was so tranquil and relaxing especially early morning and early evening and there is also another lovely beach about 10 mins by bus the other way near Carana - we were the only ones there! The lovely outdoor shower was lovely to use when we came back from the beach - great way to cool down and keep the apartment sand free ; ) We cooked most of our own food while we were there being self-catering. We made the trip to Victoria a couple of times to stock up on fish & fresh vegetables, however there is a very handy mini supermarket 10 mins walk away which stocks so much considering it's size. Alternatively there are a couple of supermarkets in Beau Vallon which are well stocked too. This was the first part of our honeymoon, and we are so happy this was our choice - it was exactly what we were looking for and more and ensured we left Mahe feeling completely relaxed. We will definitely be back one day to celebrate our anniversary : ) Thanks so much Gene & Philip for your kindness, generosity and hospitality.JenniferJuly 2014

How newspapers can still grow in hard times
It takes imagination, innovation and embracing risks
February 15, 2013
There has lots of gloom and doom talk about the newspaper industry in recent years, with steep drops in advertising and falling circulation. But for some papers those trends have provided a spark to innovate. The Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism recently examined four newspapers that have defied the trend of declining circulation and revenue. The four newspapers profiled (The Deseret News, The Columbia (Tenn.) Daily Herald, The Santa Rosa (Calif.) Press Democrat and The (Fla.) Naples Daily News) have used different strategies to grow their circulation and advertising. The common theme has been trying new approaches, whether reorganizing the editorial focus, as in Deseret, or reaching out to teach small advertisers about digital, as in Columbia. Clark Gilbert, president and CEO at The Deseret News, and Mark Palmer, publisher at The Columbia Daily Herald, talk to Media Life about how their papers bucked downward trends, where they found inspiration for their innovations, and what the hurdles have been.
What were the biggest challenges in revamping the newsroom structure?
Gilbert: Sometimes letting go is harder than starting something new.
Initially our teams wanted to try to do everything with less resources. Over the last two years, our best journalists have begun to see how having an editorial focus allows them to go deep and do the type of award-winning journalism they love to do in the first place.
Why is your transformation unique to Salt Lake City and to your ownership?
Gilbert: Certainly I don't expect people to have the same editorial focus as the Deseret News. The concept is universal — decide what you can be the best in the world at, invest in those areas, and lower your cost in more commodity news.
We want to be known for faith and family like The Washington Post is known for politics.
We see smart publishers doing this on topics that resonate with their own audiences. For example, Chuck Peters in Cedar Rapids is doing this on healthcare and education, the Sarasota Herald Tribune did this by focusing on seniors and insurance, and won a Pulitzer for it.
On the business model side, there is nothing we are doing that some other newspaper group isn't doing somewhere else.
For example, our channel innovation is similar to some of the work happening at McClatchy. Our digital agency is modeled off of some of the innovative work happening at Morris and Gannett. Our travel and bookings business was inspired by the Las Vegas Sun and their investment in vegas.com. Our content innovation model reflects lessons from legacy magazine groups like the Atlantic.com and Forbes.com.
Of course we benchmark web-only competitors as well. The point is that the principles are robust even while the specific setting is different across our organization as well as others.
How much would you estimate you have extended the readership of the paper over the past few years?
Gilbert: We group print readership dramatically with the launch of our national edition, which initially grew by 80 percent.
Still we grew circulation again this year by over 15 percent, which made us the second-fastest-growing paper in the U.S. Our digital reach is also growing rapidly, both directly to Deseretnews.com and through our syndication efforts.
Why have you been so quick to embrace alternative forms of revenue? Why do you think other papers have held back?
Palmer: Newspapers don't have a choice but to change and embrace any technology that might help in our current productivity but will also help in bringing in new revenue streams. The tough part is coming up with a business plan that facilitates the change and doesn't draw resources from the primary revenue-producing area, namely the newspaper.
What is the key to growing revenue at a time when print is suffering?
Palmer: Think of the customer first. What will help them ring the cash register? Attempt to only introduce products that theoretically help the customer the most. Then attempt to have a sales force who understands what we are trying to do and are themselves sold on the products being offered digitally.
And finally, don't be afraid to group products in digital and print into one buy.
How do you connect with smaller advertisers that perhaps are not as familiar with digital advertising?
Palmer: Totally an education process. This takes multiple sales calls and in most cases, four-legged calls using their existing sales rep teamed with a digital sales rep. Their existing print rep is someone the customer trusts, and the digital sales rep provides knowledge of the new digital products.
How have online contests become a revenue producer for you?
Palmer: Most papers found out long ago that when the newspapers come up with ways to interact with the customer, both on the advertising side and on the reader's side, the better we can keep a customer.
The contests we produce are fantastic ways to have that customer interaction. The advertisers are getting name recognition in sponsoring the contests and we are making a little extra revenue. Win-win with a little fun thrown in as a bonus for the readers and the newspaper.

Ludwig van Beethoven
Fantasie in g minor, Op. 77Play
|Inna Faliks
Recorded on 05/20/2008, uploaded on 01/12/2009
Musician's or Publisher's Notes
Fantasie in g minor, Op. 77 Ludwig van Beethoven
Beethoven's Fantasie opus 77, from 1809, is something that Beethoven may have simply improvised at the piano. A superb pianist, he frequently improvised at the piano for his audiences; this was a highly prized and very necessary skill for a performer. This piece isn't Beethoven the musical architect but rather Beethoven the humorous, light hearted virtuoso. The piece is full of wild contrasts and drama, from sudden passages in unexpected keys to lovely, mellow tunes, to uplifting harmonic progressions, and, finally, a very goofy ending.

Angels won't tinker with top of lineup to fill injured Cron's spot
BALTIMORE – As the Angels try to figure out a solution to replace injured C.J. Cron in the middle of the lineup, they have already rejected one idea.
Manager Mike Scioscia said he doesn't want to move Kole Calhoun behind Albert Pujols, although it's an idea they've "talked about a lot."
Scioscia said Yunel Escobar (.365 on-base percentage) and Calhoun (.362) have done such a good job of getting on base in front of Mike Trout and Pujols that he doesn't want to mess with the combination.
"As much as we need people behind Albert to take advantage of what he creates, the one thing we've been able to fix is setting the table for these guys," Scioscia said. "You're going to move guys around and create a hole that we've already fixed."
It also makes sense because Pujols has done a better job of driving in runs than getting on base to be driven in. He has 60 RBI and a .299 average with runners in scoring position. His .324 on-base percentage is about the league average.
If the Angels aren't going to move Calhoun, the responsibility for hitting behind Trout and Pujols will go to players such as Daniel Nava, Jefry Marte, Ji-Man Choi and Johnny Giavotella.
It's not ideal, but the Angels simply don't have a deep enough lineup to have the kind of hitters they want both in front of and behind Trout and Pujols.
"Until you can get some depth in our lineup, you aren't going to have both those buckets filled," Scioscia said. "We'd much rather feed Mike and Albert than wait around till they get on base and have guys behind them who can drive them in."
Escobar was ejected from his third game this season on Sunday. Escobar, who rarely speaks to the media, didn't answer questions this time to explain exactly what he was upset about.
Escobar was playing third base in the seventh inning when plate umpire Tim Timmons tossed him, in the middle of a Chris Davis at-bat.
"There was some frustration involved, and that's it," Manager Mike Scioscia said.
Escobar is responsible for three of the four Angels' ejections this season. Hector Santiago was the other Angel to be ejected.
Andrelton Simmons made a spectacular catch of a popup for the second day in a row, saving at least one run each time. After racing into center field to make a catch on Saturday, he went back into left to make a grab in the fifth inning of Sunday's game. … Simmons also drew two walks – his eight and ninth of the season – and a single. He finished the first half on a 12-game hitting streak. … Calhoun extended his hitting streak to a career-best 10 games.

This year, the two biggest trends in digital communications are online video and community, or social networking. YouTube is currently in the enviable position of being able to best capitalize on the convergence of these trends. Think about it. At this time last year, only a small group of Internet insiders had even heard of the site. Fast-forward a year: YouTube is a top-20 Web property. In fact, it's now the 14th most popular Web destination, behind The Weather Channel. The site received over 16 million unique visitors in July, and viewership is likely to continue to grow.
YouTube's challenge has been how to successfully monetize this large audience without ruining the site experience and alienating its audience. Text links and banner ads weren't capitalizing on the property's inherent strengths. Then, YouTube announced a smart new solution last week. It introduced two concepts: Participatory Video Ads (PVAs) and Branded Channels. PVAs are user-initiated video ads that integrate social networking capabilities such as consumer ratings, sharing, commenting, and subscribing. Brand Channels are similar to TV channels, focusing on one topic and providing advertisers a place to showcase video content on YouTube within a branded environment. (Full disclosure: we worked with our client Fox Broadcast Company to place the "Prison Break" sponsorship on YouTube's first Branded Channel, the Paris Hilton Channel.)
Our role in this aside, I applaud YouTube's approach. There are no interruptive pre-rolls. "They created a model that capitalizes on the strengths of YouTube and the values of its members (i.e., community, openness, entertainment, and participation)," said Chris Portella, our associate media director. "It is one of the first Web 2.0 advertising models that we've seen, and I'm sure that there will be many more to come. Sure, there will always be a need for high-reach display advertising to help tell a company's stories, but the true benefit of the Web is its immediacy and ability to engage and interact with users. The tools and sites of Web 2.0 are helping to make those connections and facilitate dialogue amongst consumers." So true.
These days, consumers are like walking TiVos, filtering out so much of what they see and hear in advertising. To reach this media savvy demographic, advertisers must give to get. In other words, they have to give viewers something special, something unique, in exchange for their attention. For the "Prison Break" sponsorship, we're including interviews with the cast and other interesting background pieces for both new and dedicated "Prison Break" fans.
Traditional advertising is now entertainment, just as much as any other piece of video. Type in a search for "commercials" at YouTube. At publication time, there were 44,110 results. The most viewed commercial, for Sony Bravia, has over 3.5 million views. Look at the comments; they illustrate the level of engagement. Impressive.
YouTube is also very compelling for advertisers from a measurement perspective. Good video content — whether or not it's advertising — flows to the top. We can measure standard quantitative elements like the number of visitors and videos viewed, but we can also measure qualitative elements like viewer ratings, comments, and the number of people who subscribe to receive additional video content. You can't measure this level of engagement with TV viewers.

NI introduces 12-in. HMI Touch Panel computer
Jan. 9, 2007 National Instruments today announced the release of the NI TPC-2012. The new 12-inch touch panel computer works with the National Instruments LabVIEW 8.20 Touch Panel Module, giving control and design engineers another option for deploying the LabVIEW graphical development environment on Windows CE HMI devices for machine control, embedded control and distributed data acquisition systems.
LabVIEW offers a single graphical development environment in which system designers can easily create touch panel applications in the same environment used for logic programming. They can develop control algorithms, embed logic on FPGAs, build the accompanying HMI and then deploy to the TPC-2012, all using LabVIEW 8.20.
Additionally, the NI LabVIEW 8.20 Touch Panel Module works with LabVIEW shared variables, making it even easier to share data between real-time controllers such as PXI and NI Compact FieldPoint, CompactRIO and Compact Vision System and Windows CE devices, including the TPC-2012 and HMIs from companies such as Advantech, a Windows CE hardware provider. System designers can use the built-in Modbus serial, Modbus TCP/IP and Modbus ASCII communication in LabVIEW to communicate between third-party HMIs and Modbus hardware.
LabVIEW 8.20 provides an ideal environment for developing both HMIs and control or data acquisition logic for programmable automation controllers, said Mike Berryman, Advantech market development manager. The new LabVIEW Touch Panel Module allows Advantech customers using our Windows CE-based industrial platforms to create HMIs with the ease of use of LabVIEW.
The NI LabVIEW 8.20 Touch Panel Module also works with the NI TPC-2006 HMI. The TPC-2006 offers a compact and lower-cost option for HMI display, while the new TPC-2012 features a 12.1-inch SVGA TFT LCD screen, 256 MB RAM, 128 MB CompactFlash card and 500 MHz of graphics processing power.
With both HMI devices, system designers can add native LabVIEW controls, graphs and other displays to their HMI applications for increased control and measurement capabilities, and they do not need to employ multiple logic and HMI software packages to do so. For the new TPC-2012, the TPC-2006 and third-party Windows CE HMIs, the LabVIEW Touch Panel Module reduces development time and cost by providing a single integrated, open development environment.
