You might. What she longs for is a cottage on the beach where she can write full-time <strong><em>before </em></strong>retirement.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://igniteraleigh.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/capstrat_300.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-828" title="capstrat_300" src="http://igniteraleigh.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/capstrat_300.png" alt="" width="300" height="75" /></a>Capstrat’s been fortunate enough to have speakers on stage the past few years for Ignite in Raleigh and Durham. This year we’ve stepped up our presence by supporting the event through a direct sponsorship and by providing design and print services for those cool posters you may have seen around town this year. And we’ll still be represented on stage. Adam Cohen, one of our talented creative directors, will be elucidating you on the trials and tribulations of dealing with teenagers.</p>
<p><big>Why did we decide to get even deeper into Ignite this year?</big></p>
<p>Because Capstrat is proud of the community of bright and creative individuals here in the Triangle.  And we wanted to play a role in the perfect event that crams as much of that talent as possible into one frenzied evening of disparate topics delivered in whiplash fashion.  Plus, we really like making posters.</p>
<p>From public relations, digital, social media, multi-media, advertising and public affairs consulting; Capstrat prides itself in being a communications company that helps businesses and organizations in moments of critical need. Much like the critical need to remember that first line when your five minutes starts up on the stage.</p>
<p>Check out the incredible poster Capstrat designed for Ignite Raleigh 3 below!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Stick around after <strong>Ignite Raleigh 3</strong> for the sounds of Greenville, North Carolina-based <em>Those Meddling Kids</em>.</p>
<p>Jack (Vocals, Piano &amp; Lead Guitar), Eric (Vocals &amp; Guitar) Todd (Bass, Upright Bass, and Vocals), and Johnathan (Banjo &amp; Vocals), have a sound like none other. They call it “ acoustic jamgrass”. Consider it an eclectic mix of bluegrass, rock, and jam band. They’re a local favorite in Greenville where they take up residence each Sunday evening from 6-9pm at AJ McMurphys.</p>
<p>You can find them on their official MySpace page at <a href="http://www.myspace.com/tmkrocks">http://www.myspace.com/tmkrocks</a> as well as at Reverbnation where you can listen to some of their tracks too &#8211; <a href="http://www.reverbnation.com/thosemeddlingkids">http://www.reverbnation.com/thosemeddlingkids</a>.</p>
<p>Be sure and give them a shout out on Twitter too &#8211; @meddlingkids</p>
<p>Here’s one of their performances from 2008. It’s an oldie but goodie with over 15,000 views. Any Men At Work fans out there? Maybe they&#8217;ll take a request or two from the audience. <img src='http://igniteraleigh.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Volunteers are set. Tickets have been released. We’re ready!</p>
<p>Well, not quite.</p>
<p>We are thrilled…no…<em><strong>CRAZY excited</strong></em>  to announce our Masters (yes, that’s plural!) of Ceremony – the very professional, very witty, UBER talented, <a title="Page Crawford's official NBC 17 Fan Page" href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/NBC17-Page-Crawford/305338959490036" target="_blank"><strong>Page Crawford of NBC 17 Today</strong></a> and her other…no better…no…other half <strong>Jake Fehling</strong> of USA Baseball – all 12 feet, 6 inches of them. Take a look.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>Meet Page:</strong></span></h3>
<p><a href="http://igniteraleigh.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/PageCrawfordonair2a.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-724" style="margin: 6px 8px;" title="PageCrawfordonair2a" src="http://igniteraleigh.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/PageCrawfordonair2a-199x300.jpg" alt="Page Crawford On Air NBC 17" width="226" height="339" /></a><strong>Page Crawford Fehling</strong> is the morning traffic reporter/fill-in anchor/utility player at WNCN/NBC-17 in Raleigh.  She wakes up for work every morning at 1:30am.  Unfortunately for her, that&#8217;s not a joke.</p>
<p>Page grew up right outside of Washington, DC; graduated with a journalism degree from <a title="UNC School of Journalism official site" href="http://jomc.unc.edu/" target="_blank">UNC Chapel Hill</a>; worked as an <a title="NBC official website" href="http://www.nbc.com/" target="_blank">NBC </a>Page in New York City (yes, she was &#8220;Page-the-Page&#8221;); and spent two years in the <a title="Peace Corp official website" href="http://www.peacecorps.gov/" target="_blank">Peace Corps</a> in Honduras digging latrines and cleaning up poop.  She now has two kids in diapers.  Don’t you love when life comes full circle?</p>
<p>Page&#8217;s inbox is never clear, her to-do list constantly hangs over her head, and she can’t resist McDonald’s French fries, a good bottle of Chardonnay, or sentences with lots of lists and commas.  But she can also throw a runner out at home from deep center.  Underhand.  So I guess we all have something.</p>
<p>Page is currently in love with three men.  But she&#8217;s married to one of them, and gave birth to the other two so that&#8217;ll teach you to jump to conclusions.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3></h3>
<h3><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>Meet Jake:</strong></span></h3>
<p><a href="http://igniteraleigh.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Jake-Headshot.jpg"><img class="wp-image-725 alignright" style="margin: 6px;" title="Jake Headshot" src="http://igniteraleigh.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Jake-Headshot-300x275.jpg" alt="Jake Fehling head shot" width="188" height="171" /></a><strong>Jake Fehling</strong>. 32. Genius. Supermodel.  High school sports legend (just ask him). Modest.</p>
<p>OK, so maybe he&#8217;s just 32.</p>
<p>Jake is the Director of Media &amp; Public Relations for <a title="USA Baseball official website" href="http://web.usabaseball.com/index.jsp" target="_blank"><strong>USA Baseball</strong></a>. Office based in Durham, 4-field complex in Cary.  You can ask him about his high school achievements, but whatever you do don&#8217;t ask him to explain what USA Baseball is.  You see, baseball was kicked out of the <a title="the official website of the Olympics" href="http://www.olympic.org/" target="_blank">Olympics</a> two years ago, and he&#8217;s been reeling ever since.  His elevator pitch of &#8220;I do the Olympics&#8221; was shot to pieces.  Now he takes about 5-10 minutes trying to explain that his organization brings top baseball prospects to the Triangle about 1-2 years before they get famous.  Just nod and act like you understand.  It makes him feel better.</p>
<p>Jake enjoys fantasy sports, a good IPA and writing long, flowery bios. He loves his wife and two boys very much, but the latter often send him to the edge of sanity&#8230;then to hiring babysitters&#8230;then finally, to events like this.<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<h3><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>Meet Jage (yes, you read that right):</strong></span></h3>
<p>In addition to sharing one of the more oft-mispronounced last names in America (it’s “Fehling” like “failing” a test, not like “feeling” someone up), <strong>Jake and Page Fehling</strong> also have the useless (though impressive) distinction of being a combined 12 feet, 6 inches tall.</p>
<p>If you were a big You Tube fan between 2006 and 2009 you may have been one of the almost 1 million people who saw their (Original!  First!  Did it before those Sir-Mix-A-Lot people!) <a title="Jake and Page's FULL surprise first wedding dance" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sedkMPOPO4" target="_blank">surprise first wedding dance</a>.  Or you may have caught their subsequent appearance on the “wedding dance-off” episode of <a title="Rachael Ray Show official website" href="http://www.rachaelrayshow.com/" target="_blank"><strong>The Rachael Ray</strong></a> show in which they won a second Honeymoon to St. Croix for the “free” price of just $2,500 in taxes.  Proving that they are fun enough to win a dance-off, but not smart enough to read the small print.</p>
<p>You can often find Jake and Page around town co-emceeing events for local non-profits, online at <a title="The Preggo Page.com blog" href="http://thepreggopage.com/" target="_blank">The Preggo Page (dot) com</a>, or generally speaking in a crowd… if you just look up.  Together they created Ford, 2 and Cal, 1; who today, were only a combined 5 on the toddler butt-head scale.  Baby steps.</p>
<p>Jake and Page enjoy wrestling aforementioned midgets, sharing Digiorno Supreme pizzas, and fighting almost to the death during girls vs. boys Catchphrase.  And Ignite Raleigh 3.  They are big fans of that too.</p>
<p><strong>See Jake and Page in action on Thursday night, February 16<sup>th</sup> at Ignite Raleigh</strong>. Can’t wait that long? Check out their <strong><em>winning</em></strong> wedding dance on Rachael Ray right here –</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By now you&#8217;ve heard the news &#8211; <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Ignite is back in Raleigh!</strong></span> We had a <em><strong>FANTASTIC</strong></em> time in <a title="Details on our last Ignite event" href="http://ignitedurham.com/carolina-theatre-a-historic-place-for-an-inspiring-night/" target="_blank">Durham in 2011</a> but now it&#8217;s time to return to our roots, the place where it all started &#8211; the <a title="last press release detailing Ignite Raleigh 2 at Lincoln Theater" href="http://igniteraleigh.com/2010/03/02/news-release-ignite-raleigh-2-at-lincoln-theater-on-march-3/" target="_blank"><strong>Lincoln Theater</strong></a> in downtown Raleigh! And <strong>we need <span style="text-decoration: underline;">YOU</span></strong> to make it all happen.</p>
<p>Putting on an event the size of a small town (no really, <a title="City Data stats for North Carolina" href="http://www.city-data.com/city/North-Carolina3.html" target="_blank">Maggie Valley&#8217;s population</a> is 635) is no small feat (no pun intended). At least we don&#8217;t have to vote on a Mayor or Town Council or School Board or&#8230;you get the picture.  The bottom line, <strong>it takes <span style="text-decoration: underline;">MANY</span> hands to make Ignite a success!</strong></p>
<div id="attachment_718" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://igniteraleigh.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IgniteRaleighVolunteers.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-718" title="Ignite Raleigh Volunteers" src="http://igniteraleigh.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IgniteRaleighVolunteers-300x125.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="125" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Some of the olunteers from the very FIRST Ignite Raleigh. August 2009.</p></div>
<p>We are currently seeking volunteers to assist with duties on the night of the show (think registration, VIP services, maybe some tech assistance, etc.). Roles are being formulated as I type this.  If you have a desire to be on the front lines of Igniting your city with passion and ideas but don&#8217;t feel like taking the stage, why not join our lively group?! It&#8217;s great for your resume, time commitment is minimal, and you never know who you&#8217;ll meet!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<br />
TUESDAY, MARCH 2, 2010</p>
<h2>Global Movement Spreads Through Raleigh</h2>
<h3><em>Ignite Raleigh 2 at Lincoln Theatre on  March 3</em></h3>
<p>RALEIGH &#8211; Zombies, women&#8217;s boxing, saving  energy and relationships are all on the agenda at Lincoln Theatre  Wednesday night as 19 presenters and 600 attendees take part in Ignite  Raleigh 2, sponsored by <a href="http://phonebooth.com/" target="_blank">Phonebooth.com</a>.  This free event is part of Global Ignite Week, a global movement to  share and spread inspiring ideas, which is taking place this week in  more than 60 cities on six continents.</p>
<p>&#8220;Ignite events  originated in Seattle in 2006 as technology variety shows, but they have  grown into much more than that,&#8221; said Jeffrey L. Cohen, partner of  OurHashtag, LLC, which is hosting the event. &#8220;Ignite is about ideas that  can change the world. And it takes less than five minutes to spread  one.&#8221; Since 2006, hundreds of five-minute talks have been given across  the world. OurHashtag hosted the first Ignite Raleigh at the Lincoln  Theater last August.</p>
<p>The format for each Ignite event is  the same: each presenter is given five minutes on stage to present 20  slides, which will automatically advance every 15 seconds. The goal for  presenters is to keep up with their slides and present the topics in an   engaging and concise manner. Ignite Raleigh 2 will feature  presentations selected by members of the Triangle community, as well as  topics selected by the organizers. Nadia Moffett, 2010 Miss North  Carolina USA, and WRAL-TV Meterologist Elizabeth Gardner are two of the  speakers who will present their ideas in the five-minute format.</p>
<p>&#8220;We  had a tremendous community response to Ignite Raleigh last year and we  are looking forward to an even bigger event in 2010,&#8221; said Wayne Sutton,  entrepreneur, strategist and one of the organizers of Ignite Raleigh.  &#8220;The presenters have a better understanding of the five-minute format,  and the audience knows what to expect. This event will showcase some of  the talented individuals and the diversity of ideas in the Triangle.&#8221;</p>
<p>The  event is free, but attendees must have a ticket. For a complete <a href="http://igniteraleigh.com/2010/03/02/twitter-names-of-igniteraleigh-2-speakers/" target="_blank">lineup  of speakers and topics</a> and to print a ticket, go to: <a href="../" target="_blank">http://IgniteRaleigh.com</a>.</p>

Ignite Raleigh 2 is free for attendees thanks to our sponsors, however, as one of the initiatives of <a href="http://igniteshow.com/events/">Global Ignite Week</a>, we encourage you to make a donation to a local education project using Donors Choose. <a href="http://DonorsChoose.org">DonorsChoose.org</a> is an online charity that makes it easy for anyone to help students in need.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s how it works: public school teachers from every corner of America post classroom project requests on DonorsChoose.org. Requests range from pencils for a poetry writing unit, to violins for a school recital, to microscope slides for a biology class.</p>
<p>Then, you can browse project requests and give any amount to the one that inspires you. Once a project reaches its funding goal, we deliver the materials to the school.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll get photos of your project taking place, a thank-you letter from the teacher, and a cost report showing how each dollar was spent. If you give over $100, you&#8217;ll also receive hand-written thank-you letters from the students.</p>
<p>At DonorsChoose.org, you can give as little as $1 and get the same level of choice, transparency, and feedback that is traditionally reserved for someone who gives millions. We call it citizen philanthropy.</p>
<p><strong>Browse projects submitted by local teachers in your county. This is a great way to support YOUR community.</strong><br />
<a href="http://www.donorschoose.org/donors/search.html?zone=301&#038;community=862:1">Donors Choose &#8211; Wake</a><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>New site showcases hundreds of 5-minute videos from Ignite events worldwide</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://igniteraleigh.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Screen-shot-2010-01-23-at-8.54.48-PM.png" alt="Global Ignite Week" /><br />
O&#8217;Reilly has officially announced the launch of  <a href="http://igniteshow.com">igniteshow.com</a>!</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Sebastopol, CA</strong>—Humans really like to congregate. Even as we increasingly live—and share—our lives online, we seek out opportunities to meet, talk, and get recharged by the energy of a crowd. From March 1-5, 2010, roughly 10,000 people will congregate at more than 60 Ignites on six continents, as the first Global Ignite Week rolls across the planet. They&#8217;ll gather in local venues, grab a cold beverage, and watch a series of 5-minute talks from geeks, entrepreneurs, creative professionals, farmers, educators—people in their community who rise to the challenge of the Ignite motto: &#8220;<em>Enlighten us, but make it quick.</em>&#8221;<br />
And now those Ignite events will be able to showcase their local Igniter&#8217;s talks online. O&#8217;Reilly Media has launched igniteshow.com, a new video portal that brings hundreds of 5-minute Ignite videos together in one site.</p></blockquote>
<p>Read the <a href="http://press.oreilly.com/pub/pr/2503">entire Press Release</a> on O&#8217;Reilly.com.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have been chosen to speak at IgniteRaleigh2, congratulations. Now what? You sold the community on your idea, now you have to plan how to convey it to a large audience at the Lincoln Theater. It is time to prepare your talk and your slides. Here are the instructions and some helpful hints.</p>
<p><strong>Requirements:</strong></p>
<p>1. Create 20 slides to illustrate and support your presentation. The title slide counts as one of the 20.</p>
<p>2. Use this <a href='http://igniteraleigh.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IgniteRaleigh-title-slide.ppt'>IgniteRaleigh Title Slide (in powerpoint)</a> to begin your presentation. This is the only format requirement. There is no template for your interior slides.</p>
<p>3. Create your presentation in Powerpoint or Keynote.</p>
<p>4. Each slide will show for only 15 seconds and automatically advance.</p>
<p>5. No animation, video or other moving parts on individual slides.</p>
<p>6. No transitions between slides. We will build large presentation decks grouping presentations in order (to be determined) and set auto advance (every 15 seconds).</p>
<p>7. Slides are due Friday, February 26 by 8pm. Speakers will be contacted how to submit slide decks.</p>
<p><strong>Suggestions:</strong></p>
<p>1. Outline your talk and develop your 3-5 main ideas before creating any slides.</p>
<p>2. Create visual slides that illustrate your points.</p>
<p>3. Avoid bullet points. The audience wants to hear what you have to say, not read it from the screen.</p>
<p>4. A tightly scripted talk that requires you to hit slides when they switch requires lots of practice.</p>
<p>5. Practice, practice,  practice.</p>
<p>And here&#8217;s a video from Ignite Seattle that provides some helpful hints for preparing your presentation.<br />
