Letters to the Editor
Editors, Daily Planet:
Matthew Artz's recent article on some of the Berkeley tax measures was well written, but the example he chose to highlight was unrepresentative and unfair ("Tax Measures Spur Opposition From Property Owners," Daily Planet, Oct. 29-Nov. 1). The writer has done similar heavily slanted pieces in articles about Rosa Parks Elementary School. This kind of writing does a disservice to productive dialogue in our community. Please try to be more balanced in the future.
David Stark
Editors, Daily Planet:
Was it a hidden agenda or just plain lazy journalism that was the cause of Matthew Artz's factually inaccurate and intellectually dishonest hit piece against Berkeley measures J K and L?
Friday's Daily Planet article by Mr. Artz featured the story of Mr. McMurray, a North Berkeley property owner who described his primary source of income as being a monthly disability check totaling $8,000 annually. Mr. McMurray is understandably worried over any potential increase to his property taxes. Let me assure Mr. McMurray that he need not fear these measures.
Unfortunately, Mr. Artz's article played to the scare tactics orchestrated by J K and L's opponents. Had Mr. Artz actually read the measures, he would have known that Mr. McMurray is unlikely to be impacted by J K or L.
As a low-income homeowner earning less than $29,800 a year, Mr. McMurray is exempt from the library tax.
As someone on a fixed income, Mr. McMurray is likely eligible for discounted billing programs offered by most utility companies. As such, he would be only marginally impacted by Measure J.
As someone who is not planning on selling his Berkeley home, Mr. McMurray would not be subject to the transfer tax.
Mr. McMurray and other fixed income residents of Berkeley will not be devastated by these ballot measures. In fact, they will benefit from the
continuation of valuable and needed services.
Like Mr. McMurray, I am not planning on selling my Berkeley home. I am fortunate to live in a community like Berkeley—a community that not only values its neighborhood-engaged police department and its quick-responding and effective fire department, but one that recognizes the importance of its senior centers, community pools, health services, world-class library system, and nationally recognized youth programs.
Obviously, maintaining these innovative and effective services requires the commitment of a caring community. We must demonstrate a commitment that the state and federal governments clearly will not. In response to state and federal takeaways, the city has cut $14.5 million from the General Fund. We're cutting closer and closer to the lifeline of Berkeley.
Measures J, K and L represent an honest effort to maintain Berkeley's renowned community services for all our residents.
Eric Riley
Editors, Daily Planet:
J. Douglas Allen-Taylor's column ("Applying Theory of Relativity to Oakland's Murder Rate," Daily Planet, Oct. 15-18), insightful as ever, pointed out once again the danger of treating the symptoms but not the causes. It is a practice we see too often, globally, nationally, and everywhere in between. It applies to the war in Iraq and the war on terrorism, among other international conflicts. It applies to California, where the "three strikes" law increases the number and length of costly jail sentences, often for non-violent crimes, and decreases both rehabilitation services and opportunities that may deter potential (especially young) criminals. It applies in Oakland and in Berkeley, where continuing high rates of homelessness, substance abuse, and crime reflect the chasing of perpetrators from one neighborhood to another (a policy sometimes assisted by well-meaning neighborhood watch groups who perhaps unwittingly demonstrate NIMBY attitudes). In my experience, Berkeley police can be commended for responding to citizens' concerns to the best of their ability. But the causes remain, and another youthful generation is maturing with drug dealers and other unethical capitalists as role models, broken homes as backgrounds, and a paucity of wholesome and constructive activities available from schools and social services to counteract the negative influences on their lives.
There are certainly admirable institutions attempting to address this situation by providing guidance and opportunity for the future to youth beyond just keeping them off the street, and supporting these represents investment in the future rather than a constant outflow of money to simply control immediate problems. One such is Berkeley Youth Alternatives (BYA), in southwest Berkeley, which brings in youngsters from the age of five to very inexpensive after-school programs that provide homework help, sports, music, and gardening programs, good nutrition (both food and education), individual counseling and mentoring, and career help that includes both advice and training.
Most importantly, BYA has decades of experience, an admirable track record, efficient operation, and visionary direction. Of course its success rate is hardly in the 90th percentile, but its alumni attest to enough lives turned around to really make a difference, one that increases with time. Yet BYA is constantly struggling for funding from the various sources it taps, including the City of Berkeley. In my opinion, the failure to address causes keeps us in a slough of despondency. The elimination of social blight is not achieved overnight, or even over a decade, but nurturing our youth is surely a logical and effective way to start the process.
During the few years I spent in Washington DC it became obvious to me that trends considered crazy when started in California are often later adopted by Easterners, and even continue worldwide. That gives us a heady power and a heavy responsibility. Let's start sending a healing wave across the ocean of a society at risk.

With West Ham set to sign defender Roger Johnson on loan for the rest of the season from League One Wolves, we can't help wondering if he's the man to save Sam Allardyce's men from the drop.
He's not always been a good omen in relegation dogfights and is one of the most relegated players of recent times.
Here's five men who've endured plenty of woes:
Roger Johnson
The Hammers' new signing has had his fair share of relegation misery, not least last season when he suffered a second successive drop with Wolves. He already had some previous when he moved to Molineux, having been part of the Birmingham side which won the League Cup but went down from the Premier League in 2011. Two straight demotions with Wolves mark Johnson out as a special talent. Is he really the answer to West Ham's defensive crisis?
MORE: Hammers chiefs have faith in Allardyce…and Carroll
Hermann Hreidarsson
No list of relegated footballers would be complete without the 6ft 3in Icelandic, who has suffered five relegations – one with every top-flight club he has played for – making him the joint-record holder with Nathan Blake. Hreidarsson's woeful record reads: Ipswich, Charlton, Portsmouth, Crystal Palace and Wimbledon. He was finally put of his misery with a relegation-less spell at Coventry in 2012 before taking over as manager of his hometown club IBV in Iceland.
Nathan Blake
Former Wales international striker Blake is the man who shares the mark of five relegations with Hreidarsson. Like Hreidarsson, all five of Blake's demotions came in the Premier League, with Sheffield United, Bolton (twice), Blackburn and Wolves. Happily, Blake, who is now 41, was able to finish his career with rather quieter spells at Leicester and Newport.
Marcus Bent
In striker Bent's case, he saw service with 15 different clubs, so in some ways it is little surprise he has four relegations on his CV. He had celebrity girlfriends and racked up transfer fees of over £10million during his career but none of that could prevent him dropping down with Crystal Palace (1998); Ipswich (2002); Leicester (2004) and Charlton (2007). Bent is now 35 and hung up his boots after a spell in Indonesia with Mitra Kukar.
Nigel Quashie
Only the second one of our five who are still playing – in Iceland for BÍ/Bolungarvík – Quashie, 35, had dark times and demotions with the quartet of QPR (his beloved childhood Hoops), Nottingham Forest, Southampton and West Brom. Notorious for being relegated so many times but a clear distance behind both Blake and Hreidarsson, our kings of the dreaded drop.

We just had our offer on a home accepted.
The home was built in the late 60's. I can't do a full kitchen remodel but it definitely needs updating. The kitchen cabinets appear to be in excellent condition, esp. for the age and want to try to find a way to spruce them to be able to work with them. I plan on putting new appliances, black ones, new flooring, new hardware, paint, fixtures, solid surface countertops and possibly tiled backsplash.
Has anyone kept their old cabinets and refinished / painted them and just updating everything else? If so, any pictures would be greatly appreciated, and helpful.
Below is what I'm working with.
Thanks for any help!

Heard a press release today about Wikimedia Argentina participating in a photo scavenger hunt, similar to the "Wiki Loves Art" event that WM NYC has done in the past. More evidence that the activity is really a great idea, and there is so much potential for Wikimedia chapters to get involved with local museums to benefit the open-content movement.
Wikimedia Argentina is the same group that's working hard to organize Wikimania 2009, so they're a busy little group. I'm looking forward to seeing what kinds of events and activities they organize in the future.

Fully Integrated Duals Advantage (FIDA-IDD)
OPWDD has joined together with the NYS Department of Health (DOH), the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and Partners Health Plan in a demonstration of how we can provide more coordinated care for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities who are eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid services through a program known as Fully Integrated Duals Advantage for individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (FIDA-IDD). The FIDA-IDD, which focuses on long-term care and acute care services, will offer more opportunities for people to direct their own services, be involved in care planning and live independently in the community.
New York State and CMS have contracted with Partners Health Plan to offer this FIDA-IDD program in New York City, Long Island, Rockland and Westchester Counties, which are the only areas in which it will be offered at this time. The FIDA-IDD demonstration began accepting enrollees on April 1, 2016.
This new care management program focuses on individuals who receive long-term care and intellectual and developmental disabilities service needs. The FIDA-IDD expands on the original FIDA Demonstration (implemented in January 2015).
Through the FIDA-IDD, existing Medicare and Medicaid benefits will be provided through an integrated benefit design that will include a dedicated interdisciplinary team to address each individual´s medical, behavioral, long-term supports and services, and social needs.

FC: 25 Months in the "Secret Annex" By Anne Frank
1: Our Photos Margot, Pim, Edith, and our Family Photo
2: Kitty, my one true friend. I received Kitty for my 13th birthday from my parents. I give daily reports of the war and just goings- ons of the Secret Annex | My Peter After a few months, I began to develop feelings for the Van Daan boy. We then started dating
3: Miep Gies Miep hid all of us over the warehouse that she owned. I am grateful for Miep. If she wasn't hide us we would all surely die.
4: Mr. Dussel Mr. Dussel was a stubborn man who shared a room with me in the 25 months in the annex. He was an annoying braggart who hogged everything and complained like Mrs. Van Daan. One time Peter and I dumped his trash pail onto his bed!
5: Mr. Koophius He was Pim's business partner, and, besides Miep, was the only other person that knew about the people in the warehouse attic.
6: Mrs. Van Daan Mrs. Van Daan is the most annoying, stubborn, spoiled rotten human being on the planet! Who does she think she is, confronting my mother about parenting us! Where is her right to say I am out of control? ARGH!!
7: Mr. Van Daan Mr. Van Daan is a loud man who, obviously, enjoys yelling at people. He doesn't talk much and when he does, he yells. Like when Peter accidentally bolted the door, Koophius had to break through and Mr. Van Daan screamed his head off! "ONE JOB AND YOU CAN'T EVEN BLOODY DO IT RIGHT!!"
8: The items stolen from the warehouse. The robbery scared us out of our wits! We were afraid of the police coming and finding us!
10: The entrance to the Secret Annex. Peter put a pillow on the board above the doorway because everyone kept hitting their heads! | Me and Mr. Dussel shared this room while in the Secret Annex. We never got along. He annoyed me when he exercised early in the morning. He also uses the lavatory WAY too much. But I feel bad. His fiancée wrote him a letter saying she loved him, and he cried!
11: Quotes from my diary. The page fell out and I pasted it in here. I really believe in that one quote.
13: Anne Frank died at the age of 15 in Bergen Belsen concentration camp. Before she died, she was reunited with her friend, Lies Goosen. Mr. Otto Frank is the only surviving Frank. Margot died in Belsen with Anne, their mom died in Auschwitz with Mr. Van Daan. Mrs. Van Daan died in Belsen. Peter was never to be heard from again. Mr. Frank found Anne's diary and circulated copies to friends in honor of her memory. It was later created into a book, then a play, and then a movie

The Juno & Joy Bridal Headpiece – By Natasha Jane
I'm so thrilled to finally be able to reveal this! Last year the lovely Natasha Jane approached myself and a few of my wedding industry peers to collaborate on a collection of bridal headwear inspired by our beloved blogs. Working from a selection of images, mood boards and drawings Natasha Jane brought all our ideas to reality, interpreting them so beautifully to create gorgeous statement pieces that are practical and wearable too.
For the Juno & Joy headpiece I took inspiration from our logo – the olive branch leaves that represent our Greek Goddess's namesake and my love of botany. I liked the idea of warm, gold tones – classic and elegant and a great colourway that never dates and asked Natasha if the headpiece could be worn flush to a brides head as a kind of backwards crown – so it can be seen as a statement piece by the wedding guests/congregation as the ceremony takes place…
Here are my style notes to Natasha: Juno is the Roman goddess of women & marriage and that's what we'd like to inspire the headpiece along with our logo…Strong, statement style with the focal point being at the back of a brides head made of warm gold/blush tones. Perfect for an ethereal bride.
What Natasha Jane came up with was incredible! Two separate combs that can sit either side of the brides head as high or low as she'd like – worn on their own, under a veil or sat just above one, with hair either up or down.
Created with golden beads, Swarovski crystals, gold plated wire and finished with cool ivory beading to accent the individual leaves the Juno & Joy bridal headpiece is available from Natasha Jane for £175
And you can have a look at all the beautifully designed pieces in the new Collaboration Collection here.

50's Inspired Romance In Rome – City Wedding
50's inspired but full of modern romance this styled shoot, a concept by photographers Sabrina Rossi & Lina Arvidsson is the perfect mix of vintage meets contemporary wedding style – which in my mind is the only way to pay "homage" to a bygone age!
Brimming with style and sass there's plenty of pin-able ideas for all you city chic planning brides. Here's what inspired this talented team of wedding professionals…
From Sabrina: Me & You, our wedding In Rome Grey stones, narrow streets, Italian taste and a poetic idea of Rome during the Dolce Vita time. A romantic escape in a city full of history: getting married in a old Roman Church, while the streets outside are crowded of people. Finding small restaurant in quite corner in Trastevere, one of the most typical and romantic neighborhood in Rome, where to enjoy seafood and a blessed, refreshing white glass of wine. Red details in perfect harmony with all vintage details. This is what we were imaging, first good friends and then photographers, Me and Lina where dreaming this shooting in my city, my Rome, from the moment I moved back Sweden, where we could work together some years ago. To do so we asked for help to the wonderful Cristina and Camilla, wedding and event planner of Rosenvoile Wedding | Party | Style.
We met with all the crew in Trastevere and we started to shoot. We were followed by curios people enchanted from the idea of a bride and a groom going around on a Vespa. It was fun, it was difficult but we have been inspired from Rome, with its San Pietrino streets and beautiful corners full of flowers.
There is something so utterly appealing about getting married in such a small and stylish way…don't you think? Love a city wedding!

Once the structure or new language has been presented in the lesson, the teacher gives the class some drills to practice the new materials on focus. There are Three Main Kinds of drills that must be included in any lesson in the following sequence:
1- Controlled drills:
They are manipulative drills with the aim of developing accuracy. They come directly after presenting the new material.
e.g. Repetition drills which can be in groups, in pairs or individually.
2- Guided drills:
Students cannot perform these drills without knowing the meaning of the new language because they focus on the content instead of the form.
e.g. A. Substitution drills: they may be:
a- Simple: with one cue
e.g. I go to the market everyday. (every week)
b- Multiple: the basic sentence remains the same but the cue could be substitutable for any item in the model.
T. : Ali
S. : Ali wrote a good book.
T. : Story.
S. : Ali wrote a good story.
T. : love.
S. : Ali wrote a love story. etc.
B. Chain drills:
The teacher asks a question then the students ask each other.
T. : Are you hungry?
S1: No, I am not.
S1: (to another student) Are you hungry?
S2: Yes, I am.
S2 : (to a third student) Are you hungry? Etc.
C. Transformation drills:
e.g. from sentence to a question, passive, negative…..
T. : I like sandwiches.
S1: (to another student) Do you like sandwiches?
S.2: No, I do not like sandwiches. etc.
D. Expansion drills:
T. : I have a pen. ( always)
S. : I always have a pen.
S. : I always have a good pen. etc.
E. Integrative drills:
Two short sentences should be combined into one.
I have a pen. It's red.
I have a red pen.
3- Communicative drills:
The pupils feel freedom of expressing themselves or their ideas.
Tell us about your daily routines ( Using frequency adverbs )

Jane Randall was a contestant during Cycle 15 of ANTM.
This ivy league student from Baltimore, Maryland was 19 years old during her appearance on America's Next Top Model, Cycle 15. Jane was actually discovered via Tyra.com.
During her first interview with panel in episode 1, Jane revealed that she's was a student at the prestigious university of Princeton. Later, she mentioned that people probably thought of her as the "ivy league rich girl" due to her student status and her families well-to-do lifestyle.
Jane was called 5th during selection of the final 14 girls.
In episode 2, Jane did well during the four-stories-high runway challenge for Diane Von Furstenberg. She carried that strong performance with her through the Teen Bully photo shoot with Deborah Anderson. When her final photo was being reviewed during panel, Tyra commented that she has a lot of potential, she just needs to take it to the next level. Nigel said that it was ironic her face was the issue with regards to bullying because her face is really her main asset. He added that her body didn't do anything for the photo, whereas her face was the most appealing part of the shot.
Jane was called 7th during elimination.
Episode 3 ended up being a double elimination episode as well as the makeover episode. Jane's hair was lightened and given extensions per Tyra's recommendation to "edge" her out.
While her photo was being reviewed following the "Fallen Angels" shoot with Anne Menke, ALT said when he looked at her photo, he saw awkwardness. Nigel said that she looked striking, but had only a few photos where she looked "scorned," which was the 'angel' she was portraying during the shoot.
Jane was called 7th during elimination, keeping her in the competition for Top Model.
The episode 3 challenge took place at Knott's Berry Farm. The girls were tasked with posing while riding a roller coaster called The Silver Bullet. Jane was asked to portray "meloncholy." When her photo was being reviewed, Nigel said that she "didn't quite portray meloncholy, but she did look beautiful."
During the "undersea goddess" photo shoot with Matthew Rolston, Jane had the pleasure of modeling jewelry from Mikimoto, Neil Lane and Martin Katz. While shooting, Mr. Jay commented that Jane looked "totally hot."
In panel, Matthew Rolston commented that Jane's challenge was being able to work with her body while in an uncomfortable position. Tyra said that Jane "looked stunning, but should have stretched her neck more, so she looked like a model." While deliberating, ALT said her photo was "weak." Matthew Rolston added that "there was something generic about the look; it wasn't memorable." Tyra concluded deliberations by saying that "this is something you'd sell in Town & Country reader."
Due to the mixed reviews, Jane was called 8th during elimination.
In episode 5, Jane the girls participated in a Herve Leroux runway challenge where the catwalk consisted of two fast-moving conveyor belts. Jane performed well considering the difficulty.
During the "Lucha Vavoom" photo shoot with Brahka Squared, Mr. Jay commented that "she needed to find a way to connect with what they were doing; she needed to pose with intention and commit."
In panel, Nigel commented that she needed to "hunch her back, not arch, because she was looking porny."
While deliberating, Nigel said "she's lost. She really doesn't know what modeling is about. It's a disaster." Guest Judge Karolina Kurkova added that she "was beautiful, but needs to work on her personality." ALT said that she was "dreckitude."
Because Jane's performance wasn't as strong as the other girls, she landed in the bottom two with Lexie. While in the bottom two, Tyra told Jane, "You have nice pictures, but there's something there you don't want to show. It's because of this your photos are so-so."
Ultimately, Jane was safe, while Lexie became the next girl eliminated.
Episode 6 began with a CoverGirl challenge. Jane and the girls were split into groups of three and had to teach the public how to use CoverGirl products. The public judged the girls and so did fashion journalist Derek Blasberg. Jane was grouped with Kendal and Ann – and after the judging, they didn't shine as well as the winning group, Kayla, Esther and Kacey.
For their photo shoot, the girls got to work with fashion stylist Lori Goldstein and world famous photographer Patrick Demarchelier on Beverly Hills' Rodeo Drive. Jane got to shoot with Kacey and a male model. During the shoot, Patrick Demarchelier said that she "was very good; she had an interesting look, but she's a bit more commercial."
During panel, ALT said that in the group shot she "looked like some extraordinary French-supermodel-actress with far away mystery in her eyes." In her solo shot, ALT said that her photo was "superb." Nigel also said that she looked "superb – and haute." Patrick Demarchelier said that she was "great with good energy and good movement."
During deliberation, Nigel said that when you focus on her in the tight shot, she gets nervous, but when she's in a group shot, she performs very well." Patrick Demarchelier said that "she did better in the group shot."
Jane's stellar performance earned her a 2nd call out during elimination.
In episode 7, the girls were introduced to the Grammy Museum and their first challenge. Jane and the girls were paired up and had to dress each other as if they were going to present an award at the actual Grammys. Jane was paired with Esther for the challenge. Due to the difficulty of the challenge, neither girl won the challenge prize of being an actual Grammy girl.
For their photo shoot with photographer Francesco Carrozzini Jane had to portray Marc Jacobs, which is male. During the shoot, Francesco Carrozzini wanted more attitude. He said that "she had trouble because she didn't know how to position her body and didn't have a clear idea of what she was doing."
During panel, Tyra said, "When you come to top model, it's not just about fun and games and dressing up; it's about knowing designers, photographers, hair stylists, make-up artists." Nigel said that he would "like to see more in the body; it was too puffed up in the chest."
During deliberation, ALT said that he "couldn't believe that she was a Princeton girl, but didn't do her homework about fashion." Francesco Carrozzini commented that "it's important that these girls open a magazine and see things; she has to be more aware in order to play a character. She wasn't portraying anything in her photo."
Jane's performance earned her a 6th call out during elimination.

Jane's one of my faves! Her look and style are so unique!!
December 9, 2011 at 1:39 am
Same! She's so pretty!
October 10, 2010 at 5:13 pm
Boring. Soooo boring.
October 11, 2010 at 3:49 pm
I think Jane will reach the top seven, six or top five, but not further. I like her, but I don't LOVE her. 🙂
October 15, 2010 at 7:15 am
She's physically a diamond in the rough but her potential as a model is limited to what she sees in commercial advertisements. If she wants to be a haute couture model, she must study the classic supermodels who paved the way for every other generation of supermodels. It'll benefit her in the long run. Tyra Banks didn't became famous entirely of her own creativity. She learned how to do catwalk from watching video footage of Iman Abdulmahajid.
October 16, 2010 at 2:58 pm
Hey! I love her! I came from Philippines and I support her! With that good bone structure, she'll really make it big.
October 20, 2010 at 1:03 pm
I'm from Philippines too, but I don't think Jane can make it to the final two. She can do commercial modeling but not haute couture. I support Ann and Kayla all the way. Those two are the only ones in this cycle that deserve the Vogue Italian cover and IMG representation. Mark my words, Kayla and ANN can make it big time.
November 6, 2010 at 4:26 pm
Well ihatekacey, I do respect your opinion, but I do believe that having that face that can do commercial and couture, and with a right path, she will make it big. Kayla will really make it big in the industry for she's a chameleon. I do have high hopes for Ann but she really needs that confidence. But then, I think the final five girls really deserve their position.
February 5, 2011 at 10:37 pm
I think Jane can do both. She has the same bone structure as Natasha Poly and Natasha is indeed haute couture. Plus, she has an eastern European look and IMG signed her up.
February 5, 2011 at 10:40 pm
Mark your word??? Really? How come Jane got signed up by IMG and not Kayla?
October 16, 2011 at 11:48 pm
Here's the thing about ANTM It's not the litmus test if a model will be successful nor is it the standard. Many Cycle winners have not had the success they had because prior to Cycle 16 The fashion industry thumbed their nose down on the show. Heck some of the winners weren't that special! The eliminated contestants like Mollie Sue,Anya, Atalya, Natasha, also signed with IMG, Katarzyna, and Elyse (who quit modeling last year) oddly enough are outshining the winners. It was this Cycle they really got serious with Vogue Italia. Yes Jane didn't get to the final two but then Kayla didn't either. No disrespect to Kayla who is a good model but IMG saw something in Jane if not they wouldn't have signed her.
October 19, 2010 at 6:17 am
She will reach the top six or seven.
October 19, 2010 at 6:45 am
I love her, but I think she will be eliminated.
October 21, 2010 at 8:14 pm
I predict that Jane will be eliminated next week.
November 6, 2010 at 6:53 am
I LOVE Jane. Can totally see her being a Burberry model…don't know why!
November 11, 2010 at 11:51 am
Burberry model? Not so sure. She has the typical American look, so I definitely see her in Ralph Lauren, or any American designer from the East Coast. I say she will probably be 3rd at best. Kind of unfortunate because I really like her!
November 12, 2010 at 11:16 am
Hmmm, I can see that too! But just because she has a beautiful, square head, a lot of the Burberry models have similar features. But I don't really care, she is just beautiful!
November 11, 2010 at 4:46 pm
Her features look a lot like Natasha Poly, don't they?
December 20, 2010 at 3:11 pm
you're right they do have the same features although jane's face is more defined, but they're lips and eyes are the same.
November 12, 2010 at 11:44 pm
LOVE JANE. She's my fave this cycle. She definitely has a high-fashion look! TEAM JANE!
November 15, 2010 at 7:29 am
This girl is so boring. She is still here because someone has always done worse than her.
December 4, 2010 at 6:34 am
Whatever, kiki. I've grown up with Jane; she is BEAUTIFUL! you're probably a low-life who sits at home eating cheetohs.
December 20, 2010 at 3:17 pm
I agree with Nicole. I think you're just jealous of her because she's so beautiful, she's probably the prettiest girl that joined ANTM. And she wouldn't of made it to the top 4 if she's so boring.
November 15, 2010 at 3:35 pm
I hadn't watched the series before as I witnessed in snippets from previous show, that the models always seemed to bicker and fight and some were downright nasty or really pathetically childish.
But I caught this show a few weeks ago and am stricken with Jane. She isn't perfectly beautiful and her so-called "lack of personality" makes her more interesting to me than the typical loud, trash-talking models who think they are the next Tyra.
I think Jane will come out of her shell in time, when it is the RIGHT time. Not everyone who gets on TV, movie screens or magazines has to be a genius, but they can still be warm and endearing human beings and be good at their profession. I think Jane will succeed at what she does. I wish her lots of luck.
November 16, 2010 at 1:46 pm
My opinion about final 4:
Ann: Has it all, except for a personality. So keep working on it if you are gonna be in the top 2, because you're doing the CoverGirl commercial. 🙂
Chelsey: Amazing face, good photos, but still kinda average.
Kayla: Has it ALL!! 😀
Jane: Has got the most beautiful face and I believe she's coming out of her shell. And has a 50% chance of being in the final 2. 🙂
My votes for final 2 goes to Kayla and Jane 🙂
November 18, 2010 at 9:08 am
Jane effing lost!!! I am so pissed. I hate Ann. She's ugly and can't walk and she's so awkward. Sh*t. I wanted Jane to win so bad! My life sucks.
November 20, 2010 at 5:06 am
I was even sure they picked Jane instead because they kept saying that she was the "it" girl! Even Kayla Lost! Ugh.
Ann can't even walk properly to save her own life! ALTHOUGH, she looked pretty during the shoot! But besides that, I'm DISAPPOINTED!
March 5, 2011 at 6:38 am
I think Ann's winning cost a lot of devoted (maybe that's too strong a word) fans; I know I haven't watched the show since. Jane was always my fave!
October 16, 2011 at 11:52 pm
Would you rather they chose Chelsey? Anyway Jane is signed with IMG so it wasn;t so bad after all. 🙂
November 19, 2010 at 7:39 am
I had never watched ANTM before; I didn't know how it worked at all. And when I saw Jane, I thought WOW!!!! She really does look like a model; her face is just what you get in Vogue. She reminds me of models with classical beauty: perfect bone structure, ethereal. You can see her in a perfume commercial, running around Paris, short pink dress, hair flowing and the sun shinning up high, like in Miss Dior Cherie adds!! What a shame, she would have made it big in the industry!
November 19, 2010 at 9:55 am
Jane doesn't have to win this or any contest. Sheer exposure on national (and international) TV will get her offers if she want to pursue modeling as her career.
Subsequently, she may decide to go in another direction in the fashion industry or other professions. If you watch enough TV reality shows, you realize that many contestants who "survive" enough challenges, will go on to get work even if they are dropped from the show. If Jane wants to, she will be seen in magazines, posters, and TV ads.
November 19, 2010 at 12:37 pm
Jane will definitely have a bright future though she was eliminated. She is pretty in a commercial sense. I think she'll survive in the modeling industry.
November 20, 2010 at 5:04 am
Though Jane was eliminated last night, I'm still very satisfied with her position in Top Model! TOP 4! 😀
Tyra did say she has a "Million Dollar Face," so she'll definitely make it! I was impressed by her video last night! Jane is amazing!
In addition, all the top 4 girls can make it anywhere I guess! This season's not like the other seasons, as it's leaning towards girls who have more experience and also high fashion talent. So yeah, that's my take!
Can't wait for Jane to boom in the industry! 🙂
November 20, 2010 at 6:42 am
I loved her, but I knew without a doubt that she wouldn't have made it to top two. I knew Ann for sure was gonna be a finalist, just wasn't sure if Kayla or Chelsey. Anyway, this girl has face, beauty and a whole lot of potential plus a personality – the last supper! Lol! :p
November 23, 2010 at 12:20 am
Jane is my Favorite Model in the History of America's Next Top Model (out of three seasons I have watched). I know she will make it big. She is beautiful. Jane if you see this comment, call me although you are two years younger than me. 😉
I like Princeton because Jane goes there. Look forward to see you on ads, magazines, and TV. Team Jane!!! You don't need luck; you're a rock star.
November 24, 2010 at 12:39 pm
Jane is one of the most beautiful models I have EVER seen. Her face and bone structure, body and skin are outstanding and she will make it very far. To anyone saying Jane doesn't have personality that is just ridiculous. Just because she doesn't act like a drama queen like most of the other contestants to get attention does not mean she is boring.
Jane is amazing and I wish her they very best!
I will be team Jane for ever, and have fun at Princeton!
November 25, 2010 at 9:53 am
They picked Ann because they believe Ann deserves it. She may be shy, but she has great potential. Versace even booked her beating the other four girls in Versace go-sees.
Ann has the "in" style, I mean her statistics are in for the current generation of modeling. Ann perhaps just need a little runway training and a major confidence booster. And ohh, I already saw some spoiler of their Cavalli walk, totally awesome, they walked for Just Cavalli Collection.
I think Ann overcomed her shyness on runway. She got some killer poses on the end of runway ya know. Totally kick ass to Kacey and Jane. Even so, Ann holds the records, 6 FCO!
December 8, 2010 at 3:35 pm
Jane ain't boring. I watched the ANTM recap/never-before-seen footages last night. She's actually funny. Liz and the girls made her a thug. And she did an awkward dance move. I like her. And esther. And Chelsey. And Kayla. And Ann. Chris!!
December 11, 2010 at 7:57 pm
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Jane! She definitely should have won ANTM. She is one of my favorites of all time. She is gorgeous. ❤ ❤ ❤ I know I'm not old enough for kids yet, but I want one of them to have Jane as a middle name. It's just gorgeous.
December 19, 2010 at 6:57 pm
I wish Jane won. And why did Tyra keep saying she has no personality??? I thought she had one of the most relatable personalities in the whole show and she looks GORGEOUS…i wish Tyra and the other judges would see how the girls are inside the house beforing saying things like "boring" or "no personality" I thought the judges were being so mean to Jane, because they thought she had no personality when in fact she did.
December 27, 2010 at 9:17 pm
I can't choose anyone to be in the final 2 from the top 4. I liked everyone in the top 4 and Chris, Kendal and Esther, but out of those 7, I like Jane the best.
January 2, 2011 at 12:09 pm
My gosh, Jane is really stunning.
January 6, 2011 at 12:12 am
She's one of my favorites! Well, considering my only favorites are her and Ann. She's second in my eyes. But yeah, I absolutely love her. 🙂 And she wasn't boring at all in the episodes! I found her sweet and funny in the episodes anyway. xp
January 9, 2011 at 11:54 pm
Hey Guys, Jane has been signed with IMG. GO JANE!
January 10, 2011 at 11:14 am
January 18, 2011 at 12:26 pm
Is that true? How amazing! Go Jane! Love you.
January 13, 2011 at 8:06 pm
OMG she is with IMG!!! Good for her; I know she will do amazing things!!!
January 14, 2011 at 8:17 pm
I have very high hopes for her.
January 21, 2011 at 5:39 am
Jane only took about 3 great photos. The rest were just pretty.
January 25, 2011 at 1:22 am
Jane is really pretty. I think she was a sweet girl. But her photos were okay. But I am shocked that she got hired by IMG. They could have gotten a way better model for cycle 15. Because every girl in the top 5 had better photos than her. Also, between her and Ester (someone who I think is similar to Jane) I think they should hire Ester and fire Jane.
January 27, 2011 at 4:56 am
She look like Analeigh from cycle 11, but she looks high fashion and pretty shy.
January 29, 2011 at 5:09 pm
I can see her doing very well. Her look is very much in.
February 5, 2011 at 10:30 am
In ANTM, she'd already shown the potential to become a very great model. Afterall, she did not have modeling experience beforehand. As an amateur, she did an amazing job already. All she needs is an opportunity given to her, and now she had it, it's now her job to wow people in the fashion industry. She had a unique face which do not come by very often in the model industry. Hope she can improve tremendously and prove to people that she can also make it big.
February 5, 2011 at 10:49 pm
I think the reason that IMG signed her up is because she has great potential. You see when you look at a photo of her you look at her face & then you look at her clothes, you note the details and when you see something nice you wonder about buying that same item she's wearing just like that photo shoot with Patrick Demarchelier. From Versace they said her look is very "now" & "fresh" but should work on her walk. I think if she can work on her walk she's going be a huge success.
February 9, 2011 at 6:39 pm
She was boring at first, but when she was in the top 4, I started to notice the good side of her. We have to take credit that she tries to mingle with the others, whom she can't really relate to in terms of lifestyle. She didn't really boss about it, nor shove it to the faces of the other girls. I noticed it when she was on the top 4, mainly because of Kayla and Chelsey getting on my nerves because of the "it's all about the winning" thing. Seriously, the competition wasn't really ALL about winning.
February 10, 2011 at 6:07 pm
Good news for Jane fans. She has been signed by IMG. Go Jane go! 🙂
March 1, 2011 at 8:01 pm
Yeah I saw her profile on the agency's website. I'm not that surprised that she signed with them. And her portfolio on the website is fantastic!
March 28, 2011 at 4:49 am
Yay! I just saw it and she looks amazing. 😀
She's one of my faves in the whole ANTM.
March 20, 2011 at 12:25 am
I like her. I hope she is successful.
March 27, 2011 at 8:23 pm
Her facial expressions are all the same to be honest.
April 2, 2011 at 5:46 am
Jane didn't JUST get signed to IMG. IMG chose her out of all the girls from cycle 15 (besides Ann). According to their contract with America's Next Top Model, IMG gets first pick from the contestants once the show is over. Therefore, even after seeing Jane's mediocre pics, IMG believed that her gorgeous pics were enough to make up for the average photos and that Jane also had great potential and would go far in the modeling industry.
After all, IMG doesn't sign just anybody. And I think that this just shows how amazing Jane is because although Kayla and Chelsey were generally more consistent in getting great shots, they were not chosen by IMG because Jane's amazing shots and immense potential compensated for all her flawed photos. I'm looking forward to Jane's success in the modeling industry. 🙂
May 3, 2011 at 11:13 pm
Am i the only one that thinks she should have won??? I Love Ann but still. I definetly don't think Chelsey should have gotten in to the top two and she was so ungrateful afterwards.
July 4, 2011 at 6:29 am
I knew Jane would make it. She's got "It." Her portfolio shots are gorgeous. She is one of the most "modelly" girls ever on the show. If she sticks with it, she will do much better than Ann.
August 9, 2011 at 5:30 pm
I wish she could be in cycle 17
October 26, 2011 at 9:15 pm
I'm really excited for her! I just found out she's signed on to IMG modeling agency! Yay! She was one of my faves including Ann Ward. I don't even need to say WHY I love Ann (okay, everything she does is absolute genius! plus she was really unconfident even when shes doing really good on film which made me wanna root for her even more! But Jane has an exquisite bone structure (jawline oh so lovely) and a lovely body. I guess in ANTM she want really ripe as a model yet. she was shy and timid. plus she doesnt hav the odd beauty that Tyra likes to look for (which i prefer)… anyways i hope she becomes real successful!
January 22, 2012 at 8:16 pm
Although she didn't win ANTM, I still feel as though she is going to make it very far in the industry, and she is super talented! Like mentioned above, she is really beautiful and amazing on the runway. Good luck to her! I really hope to see her on the cover of a fashion magazine 🙂 ❤
February 25, 2012 at 3:39 pm
I feel Jane came to her own quite late in the show. Her last pictures/commercials were far better than the ones she did in the beginning. Her up-close photo made by Patrick Demarchelier is stunning and I think she was the prettiest girl (classic, natural beauty) on the show. If she had performed well from the getgo she would have made a chance of being in the final. My two cents…
March 1, 2012 at 2:53 am
If it were a regular cycle, then I would've wanted jane and chris in the top 2. They were hilarious and sweet girls. Jane did some amazing pictures and her commercial was wonderful too. She does have a personality. She was hilarious all throughout the show. And she didn't stir up trouble like the others did. I hope she is successful in whatever she wants to do.
March 3, 2012 at 4:15 am
She reminds me of Julia Stiles. I think her well to do life limited her life experience. She just didn't have a source to pull from. She said she was teased for her head size…she should've used that.
March 14, 2012 at 7:53 pm
Jane is in a 4-page spread for Vogue Italia March 2012 with no help from ANTM! check on it.. it's for Marchon eyewear
March 15, 2012 at 10:44 am
She's in the March 2012 edition of VOGUE ITALIA! I knew there was something about her!
April 20, 2012 at 1:24 am
I watch the show in England with my little girl and we both like Jane a lot. Ann, i like her too. I dont know why Chelsea was in top 2 ??? Kayla, Oh so much drama…Not top model at all. Jane is top model beauty not only in America but internationally. She has a great future ahead of her. A girl with her beauty and personality, she will go far. I don't know why the judges would say she has no personality. Most of the girls I've seen in the ANTM are loud, rude, filthy and very uneducated. I know we live in a tough world and there are bitches where ever we are and it shouldnt be encouraged and ignored especially shows like ANTM. Models should be of good character inside out. I'm really disappointed with ANTM because I always thought and believe that models are of high standards but most of the 14 models chosen every season has appalling attitude. And pity are those who are brought up with decency, good character and behaviour because they will never persevere. That's why I commend Jane for her courage and dedication to her ambition. She does not need to go through all the drama in ANTM, she comes from a well to do family but she did it anyway because thats what her heart desires and they shouldn't break her integrity. Jane, be that sweet girl and rock the world of fashion! All the best.
August 11, 2012 at 11:00 pm
She's pretty and sweet, and she's definitely got a model look. Maybe even a more old fashioned look, but god, this girl had no personality. Absolutely forgettable.
March 20, 2013 at 10:40 pm
Jane is with IMG now 😉
May 12, 2014 at 9:13 pm
Beautiful, but shouldn't have gone as far as she did. She was very plain Jane, but I could see how that look works in high fashion. However, she was pretty boring as a person.

The following is a list of all entries from the {HisHappyHousewife} category.
Domestic goddess
I've been living in Bang Bang Summer House for a while, and I really love the space. It feels just right – not too big, not too small (I'm not a fan of huge rooms, for some reason…yeah, I know I don't have to worry about central heating bills, but still, I prefer a space that's human sized…). I like to think of it as this cute crumbling around the edges house in the south of France (or somewhere warm, at any rate), that I picked up for a song and that I'm having lots of fun redecorating. Not that there's anything wrong with the house – I just like tinkering!
For some reason, one half of the space really said "kitchen" to me. Which was a bit of a challenge. I'm not really a kitchen person (when I make toast, I know it's ready when the fire alarm goes on…). So I had to improvise (not much kitchen stuff in my inventory), which actually works well with the feel I was going for.
Also, there's something about "kitchen" that brings out the 1950's housewife in me. So that meant Ivalde Marilyn wiggle dress. Of course. Bonus: it matches my saucepans.

Decorations in Kumu allow you to change the color and size of elements, connections, and loops in your map. They are a powerful way to guide your map readers toward valuable insights about your system or network.
It's possible to change the color or size of individual elements and connections, but it's much faster and more scaleable to create decoration rules based on the information stored inside your elements and connections.
To add that information, you'll use the panel on the left side of the map, which is called the profile.
Use the profile to add additional information
Each element, connection, and loop has a profile that can be used to store additional information in various fields.
Label, Type, Description, and Tags are all examples of fields. Use these fields to provide additional context for each element and connection, and click +NEW FIELD to add a custom field.
After you fill out data in the profiles, you can use the Basic Editor or the Advanced Editor to add decorations.
Decorate in the Basic Editor
To open the Basic Editor, open your map and click the Settings icon on the right side of the map.
You'll see four of Kumu's most commonly used view settings, and the first two—Size by and Color by—can help you create basic decorations.
Size by
Size by allows you to scale the size of your elements based on numbers stored inside them. For example, if you have a map of organizations, you could create a field called "Net Assets" and fill out the numbers for each element. Then you can use the Basic Editor to scale the size the organizations according to their Net Assets, allowing you to quickly compare everyone's resources.
Don't like the default sizes? Click the expand icon next to the Size by dropdown to fine-tune your sizing options.
In this example, we sized people by the number of views they received on their videos of the ALS ice bucket challenge:
Note that if you don't have any fields with numbers, the Size by dropdown menu won't have any options in it. If you don't have this kind of data available, try using Kumu's Metrics feature to create some!
Are your fields with numbers not showing up in the Size by dropdown? Try changing the field type to "Number".
Color by
Color by allows you to color-code your elements based on any field. Simply select a field from the dropdown, and any elements that have data in that field will be colored!
Don't like the default colors? Click the expand icon next to the Color by dropdown to fine-tune your coloring options. This example colors by Element Type using the
bujumbra scale:
The default color scale,
neon2, can support seven different colors. If you need more colors (for example if you have 10 or 11 different element types), check out our color reference to find a scale that will work for your data.
If you color by a multi-pick field like Tags, Kumu will color code your elements with flags (colored arcs around the outside of your elements). Each flag represents one of the possible values in the multi-pick field.

If you need more precise control over your size and color decorations, you can click the MORE OPTIONS link underneath the four core tools in the Basic Editor.
Select Decorate elements to bring up the Decoration Builder for elements.
Or, select Decorate connections to bring up the Decoration Builder for connections.
Use the dropdown menus at the top of the builders to choose which elements or connections you are decorating. The options are:
- Decorate all elements/connections
- Decorate custom selection
- Decorate selected elements/connections
- Decorate similar elements/connections
Note that the last two options won't appear in the dropdown menu unless you selected one or more elements/connections before you opened up the Decoration Builder.
If you chose to decorate a custom selection, you can use the tools below the first dropdown menu to build your custom selection. For example, you can set the three boxes to
Element Type
Person to tell Kumu that you are only decorating elements who have the type "Person" in their profile.
After you have built your selection, feel free to play with all the decoration options to find a visual effect that brings insight to your map!
Click the Done button to apply your decoration, and if you don't like the way it looks, just find the decoration rule in the existing decorations section of the Basic Editor, and click the pencil icon to edit it.
You can also add your decorations to the legend by filling out the Legend box at the bottom of the Decoration Builder. For more information on legends, check out the full legends guide.
Decorate in the Advanced Editor
If you've seen or used Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), decorating in the Advanced Editor will look and feel very familiar.
If you haven't seen or used CSS, don't worry! Most Advanced Editor code follows the same simple pattern:
selector {
property: value;
selector can be replaced with any valid selector, and you can read our property reference to find documentation on
properties and their possible
values. You can also use many standard CSS properties throughout the Advanced Editor.
For example, if you were mapping a network of politicians, you could add a field called "Political Party", fill out the data for each element, then use this code to add a few decorations:
element ["Political Party"] {
size: 40;
border-width: 2;
element["Political Party"="Democrat"] {
border-color: blue;
element["Political Party"="Republican"] {
border-color: red;
The first section, starting with
element ["Political Party"] changes the size and border width of all elements with any value in the "Political Party" field. The section section, which refines the selector to
element["Political Party"="Democrat"], gives the Democrats a blue border. The third section changes the selector again to target Republicans, then gives them all a red border.
There's much more you can do with the Advanced Editor—it's one of the most powerful tools in Kumu! Read the full Advanced Editor guide to learn more.
Cascading decorations
Decorations are applied in a cascading order. If you're decorating via the Basic Editor, this means that your most recently created decorations can override your older decorations. For example, if you save a decoration that makes half of the elements blue, then you add another decoration that makes all of the elements green, your end result will be a map full of green elements. The second rule you created will override the first rule.
You can click and drag decorations in the existing decorations section of the Basic Editor to reorder them, changing which rule gets applied in the end.
If you're decorating via the Advanced Editor, Kumu will read and apply your decoration code from top to bottom. In the example below, all elements will first be colored blue (
#428cba), but then will be changed to green (
/* Color everything blue */
element {
color: #428cba;
shadow-color: #428cba;
/* Color everything green */
element {
color: #5cb85c;
shadow-color: #5cb85c;

"H&M is the anchor tenant in VR mall that is expected to open in the last quarter of the 2015," said one of the person quoted above. The proposed store will be third after Delhi. The first store of H&M will be spread across 25,000 sq ft in two floors at Select city walk mall in Saket, another is being planned at Ambience Mall in Vasant Kunj by the end of 2015.
VR Bengaluru, is one of the flagship development of Virtuous Retail, India's largest institutionally owned developer-operator of lifestyle shopping centers. The 1.5 million square feet campus, with around 600,000 sq. ft. of retail, community, entertainment and leisure space, features over 200 innovative outlets and is one of the largest lifestyle destination in South India.
In an email response H&M spokesperson said, "We see a great potential for expansion in India and are always for the best business location. No other location has been confirmed yet with therefore I cannot comment."
H&M is the latest brand to entice young go-getting shoppers in India which is its 60th market. This is first time an international fashion retailer has entered India alone after government allowed 100% f0oreign direct investment in single-brand retail.
The retailer plans to open 50 single-brand retail stores in India through a foreign direct investment route with a total investment of $115-million in early 2014. H&M operates 3,900 stores across 59 countries, generating $22 billion in revenue.
Retailers and industry experts says, H&M's aggressive pricing for the Indian market - average pricing of t-shirts at Rs 799, denims at Rs 1,999 and outerwear at Rs 2,999 - will give stiff competition to home-grown players and international players such as GAP and Zara.
"Their pricing is competitive but I don't think the store size is going to work for them," said one of the sources mentioned above. "Expansion might be difficult for them considering the large space they look for," he added.
A latest quarterly report of H&M mention that the company plans to open around 400 stores globally this year.
India has become one of the most important platform to bring American casual style to consumers. Recently Gap, American clothing and accessories retailer set up its first store in Delhi, while Uniqlo is yet to enter the country. The Indian apparel market is expected to be worth $60 billion by 2020, with Indians increasingly embracing western style clothing.

Local photographer showcases beach life at Fiesta Hermosa
For ten years local Daniel Sofer has sold his iconic locally-focused images at the annual summer kick-off event, Fiesta Hermosa.
"I started shooting volleyball in the 90s," said Sofer, who had a second-story office at Pier Plaza for nine years. "I just shot things that were outside my door."
When he first began taking photographs of day-to-day life in Hermosa Beach he was using one of the first digital cameras. After nearly 20 years of upgrading he's finally settled on a Canon 5D Mark II.

"When I'd send [film] images to get processed, when they came back I was already over it," said Sofer, who embraced digital early on. "In 2002 I got what was then a good digital camera and built a website with the gym mindset of 'once you join you have to go.' I figured once I have a web site I have to take pictures."
Almost everyday Sofer took at least one photo around town and posted it onto his website.
"It's just that colors are what gets me excited— the blues, reds and oranges," said Sofer, about his plethora of colorful sunset images. "There are always a lot of people that shoot sunsets in Hermosa. A lot of times I see people that I know, but don't really know. You just see them all the time."
Because of his almost daily posting, Sofer's website has developed a cult following. Another thing that brings people to his site is a web camera that he has had mounted downtown since 1997 that points towards The Strand and broadcasts the beach life to people around the world.
"Every time I move it [the webcam] people complain and others complain when I move it back," said Sofer. "A lot of people have it as their home page and you can tell others have it on all the time. One guy who was a feature film editor told me that he sits in a dark room all day and it's his window to the world."
Social networking is also a way that Sofer interacts with his followers.
"One day I walked over to the pier and all these people were shooting the sunset; I like pictures of people shooting," said Sofer. "In the photo there was this guy in the center that would not move, and after I posted it on the web and tweeted it out this I got a tweet from this guy. 'Sorry I was in the way, I was taking a time-lapse.' Its fun when that happens, it just makes us more interconnected."
Many of his photographs are shot during sunrise or sunset on the local beaches.
"I like transitions," he said. "Transitions like when land meets water and day meets night. My favorite time is the dusk magic hour when the lights are on and there's still light outside."
He spends a good amount of the year organizing his photographs and deciding which ones to sell at the various events around town that he attends.
"I print things that are local and try to showcase Hermosa Beach in that beautiful dusk light," Sofer said.
His photographs are so local that often times people recognize themselves in his prints.
"I have one photo of the Poopdeck and people have argued about whose bike it is outside," said Sofer.
An important aspect of his images is not only the subject matter, but the post production and the quality of the printing.
"My introduction to photo shop and printing was when it came as a floppy disk," Sofer said. "There's so many photographers at the Fiesta and a lot have good technique but the quality of the printing of their images just isn't there. You get what you pay for."
He can spend hours bent over a black and white print comparing one type of paper to another, determining how to tweek the image to make it just a tiny bit better.
"I love realism and vibrant colors," Sofer said. "I like telling a story but sometimes the story isn't really obvious."
Sofer's booth will be located at the center of Pier Plaza this weekend at Fiesta Hermosa. Prices range from $10 to $1,000 and the sizes start at 5 x 7 inches and get as big as 40 inches wide. Visit HermosaWavePhotography.com to see his work. Visit http://fiestahermosa.net/ for more information on this weekend's Fiesta Hermosa.ER

If you've been following VR lately, you've likely been seeing an uptick in content being promised and a few new items being released on a regular basis. Some good, some not so much. Along with content, there are a few more devices being put out on the market in the last month or so and the market as a whole is heating up. Even if you aren't specifically following VR, I'd guess that you likely have seen a few articles here and there more than in the recent past. Obviously as this is the "latest and greatest tech" at the moment, going from zero to something doesn't take much. I say though that this is all due to the impending flood of marketing time and money that will be thrown at this in the next 6 months to a year.
I believe we are at the very forefront of the virtual reality boom of both technology and content. As people give it a try and play around, it's quickly discovered that this newest medium to consume content and get interactive is going to very popular, in high demand and virtually explode. Of course it is completely dependent on being available to the masses in an affordable manner, but there is headway being made there too.
What I tend to research and play with is what we will use this technology for. Messing around with things now and awing people or making them sick maybe, has all been play time. What will VR be when it properly matures and how will people use it. There are so many areas that this technology can be used it's crazy. From gaming, video consumption, education, social interaction and replacing your monitor for a virtual world around you to use your computer on. The ideas and possibility seem endless.
One thing that really interests me is how video content can be created for VR. There are a couple of options in this area, 180 and 360 degree. Recently there was an NBA game put on and it was lauded that there was only 180 degrees field of vision. You don't really need any more than that anyways, unless you are just looking around at other people. It makes sense to not bother with the other 180 degrees as it will just strain bandwidth, resources and if it's a recording then disk space too. The amount of information required to be broadcast to the system is more limited and theoretically should be inconsequential to the end user experience.
Take a wildlife documentary though, or a "day in the life" sort of reality TV show and we now have to think that 180 isn't going to cut it. As a user, you're no longer just needing to look ahead, you will likely want to see everything that is going on around you. It's the user experience that matters still, even when the technology changes.
It doesn't take a lot of searching to come up with videos and articles of people talking about how to tell stories through VR. Gaming sites area a great place to look for these articles as game creators have been telling stories for years now. There was one recently that I watched and read on the concept of giving the user the perceived idea that they can choose any direction to go, but in reality there was only one. A linear story provided in a non-linear format. This is what VR stories must be too.
These stories must be told very carefully, no longer will the story teller just be able to point a camera somewhere and force the viewer to watch what they show. 180 or 360 degree video will give choice, it will now be up to the creator to come up with logical and creative ways to have the viewer pay attention to the right part of the story.
To really prove and accentuate this point, I recently had a few friends try out the simple Welcome to Oculus app on the Rift DK2. Each person reacted differently to it. If you haven't checked it out yet, take a look here to get an idea or try it. The concept is simple: take people through a few areas that show off the capabilities and experiences of VR. From sitting in a textured 3D room, to moving through a movie theater, starry sky with a flashlight and falling from the top of a large room to the bottom. Each area evokes a different feeling and understanding. The thing is though, each person that tried it did something different.
When I tried it for the first time, I was curious. I looked around a lot, yet was captivated by the methods used to capture my attention. It wasn't until the third or fourth time going through that I really experimented with looking around that I looked through the back wall of the apartment to see the starry sky I had just left behind. Watching others, the same thing. Some are stationary, you almost have to tell them they can look around. Some are more curious but the pattern was the same. The story was told to capture the attention of the person watching, and was effective. That takes creativity and thought to allow a lack of attention or request and coerce attention.
Gaming, virtual social experiences, watching static content (like pictures and videos) will all have their place, but I think it's the consumption of live and highly advanced story telling that will really take off. It can apply to so many areas and be so diverse in it's usage that it's inevitable that this part of cinematography will be an industry all on it's own. Very interesting times. More on VR to follow…

From Reuters:
Thousands of Hong Kong residents appealed to China on New Year's Day to allow full democracy to be introduced soon in the city, as opposition lawmakers pressed forward with a mass resignation plan later this month.
Congregating outside the city's historic domed legislature, protesters carried colorful banners with slogans such as "Democracy Now!" and made their way to Beijing's representative office.
Some demonstrators held aloft portraits of Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo, demanding the release of the prominent activist and writer, jailed last week for 11 years on a subversion charge.

There has been some speculation today around the security of the DocuSign network. Let me first assure you that DocuSign is safe and secure.
As our customers, you've come to rely upon DocuSign as your critical global standard for eSignature – you've made DocuSign integral to your business (and you are integral to ours). Contrary to an article earlier today, there have not been any breaches in security of the DocuSign Global Network. Rest assured that DocuSign follows national and international security standards, including strict security policies and practices that set the standard for world-class information security. Upon review and investigation of the claims made by the article, it appears that a small number of customers have saved their personal copies of their signed documents to publicly accessible and searchable locations rather than within DocuSign. These are documents and forms that have been "downloaded" from DocuSign's secure service by one of the signing parties and saved by the user somewhere that isn't secure.
To ensure the safety and security of your documents, forms and signatures, DocuSign strongly recommends that you save them on the DocuSign Global Network where they are securely accessible by all signing parties. In the event that you need to save signed documents in a location outside of DocuSign, it's critical to ensure that the location meets the security requirements of all signing parties. There is no greater priority at DocuSign than the security of our customers' information, data and documents.

Many youngsters like to dangle stuff on their cell phone, so a small little solar panel isn't inconvenient right? A practical option, the Strap-Ya feeds on sun power all day long and stores the energy into its built-in battery. To charge up your phone, you only need to plug in the panel into the phone. It only runs $17, but unfortunately only good for Japanese phones.

[SSC12] Ontologies for Security Requirements: A Literature Survey and ClassificationConférence Internationale avec comité de lecture : Second International Workshop on Information Systems Security Engineering (WISSE) - in conjunction with 24th International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE12), June 2012, pp.61-69,
Mots clés: Security, Ontologies, Security Requirements, Analysis, Classification.
Résumé: Despite existing methodologies in the field, most requirements engineers are poorly trained to define security requirements. This is due to a considerable lack of security knowledge. Some security ontologies have been proposed, but a gap still exists between the two fields of security requirement engineering and ontologies. This paper is a survey, it proposes an analysis and a typology of existing security ontologies and their use for requirements definition.

Good Christmas
We had a great time celebrating Christmas this year. Jacob was so much fun. Although he wanted to play with every gift right after he opened it. He didn't understand that you could play with everything after it was all opened. Jami's Mom and Mike came over in the morning and then we went to my parents house.
Jacob had a great time playing with his cousins and playing with all the new toys!!!
I hope everyone else had a great Christmas and thanks to those who made my Christmas a great one!!!
Friday, December 21, 2007

Winter Wonderland
Elkhart had it's first major snowfall for the year. I for the most part am a fan of snow, espcially around Christmas time. By February I will be ready for summer, but for now the snow is ok. Now for this area of northern Indiana this is not a huge amount of snow, yet schools are delayed and counties are putting out essencial travel only postings. Come on people we didn't even get a foot of snow, just a few inches, and not in one night but over the course of the weekend. I just think it is a little silly.
We took Jacob out in the snow....this is the first time him being old enough for him to have fun with it. We also took our dog Ella out into the snow......she loves it!!!

Opinion: Hiding behind social media is despicable
Rabbi Debbie Young- somers
We are now galloping our way through the book of Devarim-Deuteronomy, which in Hebrew means 'Words'. I have a bit of a thing about language and words and how we talk to one another – one of my favourite prayers comes at the end of the Amidah in a meditation reflecting on humble healing language.
Yet I cannot remember ever feeling so aware of the language around me as I am this year, especially on social media. One of my favourite tweets of the last few weeks (from one Tony Novak) read: 'I used to think it would be cool to read other people's minds. Then I joined Facebook and got over that.'
Get The Jewish News Daily Edition by email and never miss our top stories Free Sign Up
During the past month of conflict, my Facebook feed has become a confused mash-up of constant postings of blogs, memes, news, videos and opinions, seeing instant gut reactions and hearing everything on everyone's minds, sometimes unfiltered.
Truth and lies were declared left, right and centre. Most troubling, as I became absorbed in article after article, were the threads of conversation that followed them – vile anti-Semitism, Islamaphobia and just plain old nastiness. Just what people in bomb shelters and fleeing their homes need. For me the past month has been one of relative silence on social media.
I decided instead to find ways to say what I need to about the conflict in positive actions and through seeking dialogue. When one scratches the surface of social media, there is a constant undercurrent of abusive language. At the moment we in the Jewish community feel particularly vulnerable and attacked, but trolling or bullying is a daily gift for many.
Hiding behind social media to deliver our darkest and most violent thoughts is despicable, and collectively is something we must challenge and report, whether it is about #HitlerWasRight or threats to rape a woman wanting to put a female figure on a £10 note. As we enter the month of Ellul, we all have to take responsibility for our words wherever they are said. I hope it will be a year of uplifting words, and safer spaces for all.
