In honor of National Pi Day, a day in history that celebrates the ratio of a circle's
circumference to its diameter (3.14), I can't think of a better way to celebrate such an ironic-named holiday than to share a slice of this simply delicious, savory spinach pie recipe from the archives.
A simple Greek inspired pie combining savory flavors such as spinach, feta, Asiago cheese, dill and scallions. Perfect to take to a potluck!
Served with a salad, you can turn this into a main dish, or cut it into smaller wedges to serve as an appetizer. If you use full fat feta cheese, the fat only increases by 1 gram, and the points increase to 4 per serving. Enjoy this warm or at room temperature.

Robin love your review of the 75mm f1.8 lens. I would rather see actual photographs than the technical specs of some reviews. I feel that real images of life situations are more important than charts and graphs.ReplyDelete
Don from AmericaReplies
Thanks Dnoald. I do think that those graphs and charts are important too. Nonetheless, at the end of the day, it still comes down to the real images that the lens can do.Delete
- Daniel7/01/2012 02:46:00 AM
Thanks Robin! Have been waiting for your review of the 75mm for a few days. Finally get to see some real pictures! Nice job~ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Daniel !!Delete
Hi Robin,ReplyDelete
Judging from the absolutely stunning image, nobody could have thought you weren't using a favorite lens! ;-)
Fantastic work, period.Replies
Bert, thanks for the kind words. I think it takes a bit of time to get used to this focal length, which is rather weird !!Delete
Oops! Make that images, please!ReplyDeleteReplies
Haha, I have more grammatical mistakes in my blog entry I believe !!Delete
Hello Robin,ReplyDelete
These are truly amazing. The level of sharpness is incredible, the bokeh delicious, and it didn't look over huge on the gripped OMD, not bad at all then. I look forward to the next installment of this series.Replies
Thanks Jorge, if you are considering to get this lens, having the grip is a must !Delete
One hell of a lens!!ReplyDelete
I preorded this lens on the day it was announced, and waited nervously until I could get some samples to keep the thoughts of canceling the preorder out of my head. And FINALLY I get some great real world samples (like 1 week before it starts shipping)- Thanks!ReplyDeleteReplies
Hey Dennis,Delete
It was my pleasure to share the images and my thoughts on the lens !! You wont regret your purchase.
I somewhat lust over this lens. I thought it would be a bit long for my use and the fixed prime would not be as convenient as the kit 40-150 of the Olympus cameras but after I shot it, even on the E-PL1, I was impressed with the small size, the sharpness the ability to background blur and the AF. It even AFs easily and quickly on the PL1 - whilst Brandon's 35-100 f/2 on the E-5xx series was not good at - and that is a much more expensive lens. Coming 5th July to KL so maybe a walk one of the weekends?ReplyDeleteReplies
Hey Ananda,Delete
We have the same thoughts on the lens, and yes I have tried it on E-PL1, the focusing works well, but I have not shot extensively with it. Somehow the newer lenses has much better focusing mechanism, which is a good news because it works well with all previous bodies.
Great to hear that you are coming to KL soon. I am free Sunday 8th July, lets make something happen !! How long is your stay this time? Will be meeting Brandon shortly, shall convey the message to him.
Something like over 2 weeks Robin. 8th July sounds good as long as my Mum doesn't scold me for jalan kaki.Delete
Yes give my hello to Brandon - it's a gaz tooting along on his car with one hand on the aircon button. Has he fixed that yet?
Great review Robin. Thank for including the link to my blog.ReplyDeleteReplies

Great review buddy! That is one sharp lens but am saving for the new 60mm f2.8 macro coming from Olympus hopefully this year. If I have money to spare will definitely buy one. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the awesome review Robin!ReplyDelete
Wow Unbelievably Sharp at 1.8! I don't see any sign of purple fringing anywhere when shot wide open, except perhaps for P1010245.jpg (Market Shopping), I hope it's just reflection from the surroundings!Replies
Thanks Donny !!Delete
There is purple fringing when shot at wide open, but it was not much of an issue. I shall be blogging about this in coming entries.
Those are some amazing shots for your first outing with a lens longer than you are used to! Much thanks for the review...ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Brad for the kind compliments. It was my pleasure to shoot with the new lens and share my thoughts !Delete
Wow the lens looks amazing and you captured some wonderful shots! 150mm is such a specialty focal length. Many times walking around my 45mm/90mm 1.8 is a bit too long so 150mm is way too long. Even so I'm still very tempted to pick this up eventually. Looking forward to your next update.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks for the kind words, Wataru. Indeed, I agree with you that 150mm seems a little too far for usual shooting needs. Nonetheless, when you do need that focal range, it is very useful and it wont disappoint.Delete
In France, with the rebate 150 euros, this fantastic lens cost 600 euros ! A must have !ReplyDeleteReplies
Lucky you !! We don't get that kind of promotion in Malaysia !Delete
Please tell me the name of the shop !!!Delete
There is no shop in particularDelete
You get a bunch of coupon when you buy the OMD (or used to as i don't know if the offer still stand!)
The purchase of the lenses and accesories shall be made in the shop where you bought your system; and olympus will offer a partial refund for all the item you bought (there is a ticket for nearly every lenses until the 60 macro (<-100€; reduction goes from 150 to 50); and for many accessoriez available (gripand flash are minus 75; lens adapter minus 30)
You get to have as many reduction as item you purchase; but it is still a lot of money t pocket out to get a refund ^^;;.
M question is, when will you take the plunge to full m43? How big a difference dos the EM-5 combo and E-5 combo make for one like you? Th lens setup will never be the same and for sure you can see the difference in lens quality Movin forward.ReplyDelete
I just hope the E-7 is really a m43/43 pro camera. My 50-200mm is waiting on the sideline for action.Replies
Hey Mark,Delete
At the moment I am staying with my E-5, mainly for budget reasons. It is no secret that the E-5 came from Olympus, and I did not spend my own money. My current lenses are also based on tight budget considerations, all bought used.
Micro 4/3 (E-M5 and the higher quality micro 4/3 lenses) system is not exactly very wallet friendly !!!! I might have to wait for second hand (used market) availability, then I might consider moving over.
and yes, there is no replacement for that wonderful 50-200mm lens !!! Or not yet, haha.
De-Lurking: I love your reviews! Your E-M5 review was part of the reasons that drove me to buy it. :-)ReplyDelete
And now I will have to save up for the 75 mm....but first I will need the 12 mm first, but that will have to wait until August. :-)
Elemm / VictorReplies
Hey Elemm/Victor,Delete
Thanks for the kind comments on my reviews !!
Glad to know you have the E-M5. The 12mm would be great on E-M5 !

Just want to say thanks for your reveiw and want to tell youReplyDelete
that I actually brought the omd em5 after reading your em5 reveiws. I really like the camera and still get surpriced of the quality.
I think Olympus should let the em5 and 75mm stay at your neck, it seems to fit you well.
Thanks Sebastian (Denmark)Replies
Thanks Sebastian for such kind remarks !! Glad that you have enjoyed the photographs and review.Delete
OM-D is too small lah! has to be used with the battery grip at all times i feel even for a normal person.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hey Richard,Delete
Well, can't really blame Olympus now, since everyone keeps asking for smaller and smaller things these days.
- Anonymous7/05/2012 09:06:00 AM
I'm a normal person I think. My OMD fits just fine without the grip and is a pleasure to use. I thought I would need to buy the grip after all the comments I read but I was pleasantly surprised by how comfy it is all by itself. And...my goodness it's a lovely camera to use. I am SO happy with the nice clear image in the EVF that I forget it's not an optical finder. I'm fussy about such things and I wouldn't say it if it wasn't true.Delete
Only awful thing is how long it takes to set it up and swim through all the options in the menus. Frustrating when you just want to get out and shoot. Someone should do a nice page with a one hour set up guide. How to set up the camera with all the things you need and nothing you don't need. Everything I've looked at on the web is complicated and confusing.
But this is about the new lens and one look at these images shows it is consistent with the other Olympus line up, which is to say..stunning!
Robin..superb pictures.Reminds me I must visit Malaysia again, and soon! and I really,really miss the Roti Chanai and Tee Tarik I can't get here in Japan!
Stunning photos and great user-oriented review!ReplyDelete
One micro-quibble only: why not tell us if the very first photo (showing camera with lens) was taken with an 1,8/75 as well? (You might have had two copies.)
Anyway, thanks again, i have to come back here.Replies
Hey h n,Delete
Thanks for the kind remarks on the photos and my review.
The first photo was taken by Shaun, if I remember correctly it was his Voightlander 17.5mm F0.95 lens.
mamak kecil seems a little insensitive. was he a tamil muslim boy ?ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes the kid was Indian Muslim. is something wrong with the description? I didn't think calling someone mamak is a bad thing, we do it here a lot.Delete
- Anonymous7/02/2012 03:29:00 PM
According to Wikipedia, it could be considered pejorative.Delete
- Markuus7/02/2012 03:41:00 PM
No lah, I thought you were stereotyping. indian boy=mamak so I thought it was a little insensitive.Delete
But since he actually IS a mamak, it's not stereotyping hence its alright =)
Anonymous, please leave a name the next time you comment. It is so easy to just point out to wikipedia, but I live in Malaysia where the term was widely used.Delete
Markuus, no worries, the kid was really and Indian Muslim, the father was nearby, was speaking to the father briefly.

The Name/URL option doesn't work, hence the anonymous post.Delete
I was responding to your question if something was wrong with the description. I wouldn't know, because I don't speak your language, but apparently the term is considered belittling by some and I just wanted to point that out in case perhaps you weren't aware and Wikipedia is generally considered to be an unbiased source. No ulterior motive whatsoever.
- Roy
Hello Roy,Delete
Thanks so much for getting back to me. No worries, wikipedia is a good source of reference, but the problem is people always assume it is accurate. Since it is open source project, the content is always questionable and open for debate.
The word "mamak" is a friendly word here, and it has spawned a widely accepted culture, especially "mamak food" where you find Indian Muslim operating food stalls practically everywhere in West Malaysia. I can safely say I cannot survive without "mamak food" now, they are simply a huge part of our lives here.
- Anonymous7/03/2012 03:27:00 AM
Like I said, I don't speak your language so I have no idea why Wikipedia would suggest that this could be perceived as an unfriendly term. An older version of the same article reads: "most Indian Muslims consider this term to be pejorative but are receptive".Delete
I guess the easiest way to find out is to remove this qualification from the article, see if someone reverts the changes and look up their reason for doing so.
FWIW, I really only came here to check out your review of Olympus' new gem and it was a great read, especially for a newcomer to the m43 world like myself. And the visually very appealing window into your country and culture didn't hurt either. :-)

Great job as usual Robin.ReplyDelete
It's a shame I'd have to sell my last remaining kidney for this. I already sold my other one for the E-M5.Replies

I'm a reader from the US and it's my first time leaving a comment here. I just want to say thank you for your review with such stunningly sharp images. Your reviews of the EM-5 were fantastic too. Also admire your English.
Hey N. Nguyen,Delete
Thanks for the comments !! Appreciate it.
WOW! WOW! and WOW! Great lens in the hands of a great photographer!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks !! But I am only an ordinary photographer, learning and improving !!Delete
thx for the review Robin,ReplyDelete
Finally a review with ""full/body length"" shot to see the amount of background blur (I've seen enough normal portrait compositions in other reviews of this lens, not one other reviewer thought about a fullbody shot??...).
Which is fantastic: the image with the man standing with the bottle of water in front looks very good and I thought, till now, was only possible with full-frame camera's..... man this is M43!!.
I will buy this lens because of only this! My 45mm f1.8 is good enough for me for normal portrait composition, just need a lens for more background blur when making a full bodylength shot.... just like for example the Sartorialist :-) without the big and expensive gear.
Another advantage for me is that the focal length allows me to make more "spy" portraits of my kids and family and get the more natural looks of my loved ones (my daugter can't pose naturally when she knows I am taking a picture, a mission impossible when using a 35mm eqv.)
Greetings from Holland, John
ps: more full body shot please in colour :-) in next part.Replies
Hey Johnc,Delete
Thanks so much for the kind compliments, and of course, rest assured there will be some full body length shots coming in the next entry. Have just come back from the shooting session, will update this in a day or two. Do give me some time to breathe !
Good review and better photo, something better than what DPReview vomits out....anyway, always have been fascinated with the m4/3 system, but still quite hesitant about it since I've invested such a lot of time and money on my current system.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks for the kind words. Nonetheless, I think it is not right to compare the images to DPreview, they did their shooting for technical analysis purposes, which I did not do so.Delete
- Anonymous7/01/2012 10:35:00 PM
OK, you didn't sharpen the images but admit to cutting out the main subject and sticking them above an OOF background!ReplyDelete
No way the pictures could 'pop' like this otherwise :-)
Could swear the EXIF says 'Leiss' (or was that 'Leica'?) :-)
Would be great to see what this lens could do on landscapes ...
Once again, great photos. Impressed.Replies
Thanks for the kind words anonymous, but I would really appreciate if you could leave a name (even a nickname) so I can trace back your history of comments.Delete
That was a good way of seeing things, cutting out the image and paste it in an out of focus photo !

Thanks Vladimir. I will wait for a used unit too !!Delete
Thanks for the review, love your hands on approach and honest assesment of the gear used. I'm not sure i need this lens at all, but its great seeing the system get more and more mature, and lenses like this carry a strong message: m43 is here to stay and means business. Well done, Oly.ReplyDelete
Thanks from Montevideo, Uruguay.Replies
Thanks Nico Foto for such kind words. The most important thing to keep in mind while I was shooting and writing was being myself, and shoot the photos for myself !! That is the only way I can use the lens as I would on my own shooting.Delete

I agree, Olympus needs to release black version of their lenses. There is enough demand to drive them to do that. They should.

Hate because every time after i read your olympus gear reviews, it's the tipping point for me to convince myself that I need (I want) the gear. Started from the 45mm, than the e-m5, now this (just clicked the pre-order for the 75mm). Damn you!!Replies

that's the lens i need (want) for my traveling 8-)
Those are just rumors at the moment, I do not think Olympus would want to propagate the rumor even further. But I sure would love to see what zoom lenses they can come up with, other than their kit lenses at the moment.

Nice shots, they look sharp and contrasty. However, the bokeh looks very busy and distracting in almost all of the shots.ReplyDeleteReplies
Please leave a name the next time you comment.Delete
I think everyone here including myself have opposite opinion, he bokeh is not busy, but smooth and creamy. Busy bokeh means harsh and unrefined. Everything at the back I see so far have been blurred into pure creaminess. That is the best bokeh you could ever ask for. Thanks to the 9 blade aperture diaphragm
You really must quit publishing such fantastic reviews. First I read your E-M5 review and wnet out and sold all of my Canon gear to buy E-M5's for my wife and me. Lately I've been saving for the Olympus 75-300 and now after reading this I'll have to buy this lens. You are going to make me a poor man :).
Olympus should allow you to keep the E-M5 and lens. You are their best marketing man!Replies
Hello Zack,Delete
LOL now you make me feel like the villain of the story !
Good stuff! This is why I fly into KL for an exchange from Perth rather than Changi so I can go into the city to see some diversity and grunge rather than manicured Singapore. I hope to have my EM-5 soon but this lens is not my thing at that price. Does the 75mm get as good as anything in the HG/SHG range?ReplyDelete

This lens looks fantastic! Unfortunately out of my price range, but I am loving the evolution of m4/3. Too bad it isn't weather sealed. If they sealed the 12, 45 and 75 with the OM-D the m4/3 system would without a doubt be the best street camera system imo.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hey Ian,Delete
It is indeed very expensive, and also out of my price range !
It is interesting to see how Olympus lays out their plan for the lenses. For now there is only one weather sealed lens, which is not a very compelling choice for heavy weather shooters.

Its my first comment in your blog.Started following this blog from EM5 review I appreciate your simple way of writings and description for each pictures. I am still using point and shoot.

Hi Robin,ReplyDelete
I have just bought an Olympus OMD in silver with 12-50mm Kit lens, but i need something for low light (especially for indoor parties & family shots with portraits), so what would be a nice focal length to cover most of them.Could you please suggest me anything, as i am new to photography & there are lot to choose from (Oly 45mm & 12mm & now 75mm, Panasonic 20mm F1.7 & 25mm F1.4).I cant afford two primes.So, just want one that could do the best job.
I love these reviews. For me they are more meaningful than the technical measurement type of review. Your reviews show real life use along with your just pitch perfect commentary. As for this lens, I am interested in shooting photos of my grandchildren in their school plays. Would you recommend this lens for that situation even tho its a fixed focal length...sort of like the 135 F2 in the Canon line for full frame. I don't think there's a fast zoom now or on the horizon so its either the bulky dslr or an option like this.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Tempting lens for sure ;-) Love the Lancome Girls. As always, thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete

Hi Robin,ReplyDelete
I have a complaint. Your review has just cost me a load of money! The 75mm has just arrived in Thailand and I just had to have it having seen your photos.
Here is my mini-review (including a nod to your good-self) after an hour or so of shooting: http://www.pattayadays.com/2012/08/olympus-75mm-f1-8-review/
Keep up the good work, your site is where I always come for M43 inspiration; even if it does end up being expensive!

Just got it - this lens ROCKS - the only lens I have shot with and got the same sharpness is the Nikon 200mm f/2.0 VRReplyDelete
Now it is hard to use other lenses, if sharpness means something - I will let my 45mm f/1.8 go (but it is a bargain, this lens here cost 3 times more, but I must say...it is worth it)
Hi Robin WongReplyDelete
Great review.
I have to buy the camera with 75mm 1.8, now I am a poor man.
Best wishes from Denmark
Just want to highly recommend this lens and you do not need the omd to enjoy it. This lens works perfectly with my E-P2 camera. To prove it I hope its ok to post my flicker set using this lens with the E-P2.ReplyDelete

This may sounds weird, but I'm somewhat torn between getting the 75mm f1.8, and the 60mm Macro. Some might say they are totally different lenses, and I guess they are. But for, I'm actually looking at a high quality medium tele that can complement the 12-35mm on my OMD, for street photography, and portraits. In terms of focal length, both fit the bill. The pro of the f1.8 is that lovely bokeh, but then the samples i've seen you take with the 60mm look pretty good too. The 60mm might be a bit more versatile in terms of not needing to stand as far back in crowded situations, and a bit of a fun factor in terms of the odd macro (i'll probably use the full 1:1 facility about once a year) and its cheaper. Thing is, what do I loose by going for the 60mm...what are your thoughts in terms of contrast, colour, etc?ReplyDelete
Hi Robin,ReplyDelete
Nice pictures!! By the way, I just bought my gx1 with 20 mm f1.7 lens and i really love it. Now thinking which lens to add on to my set. Should i get a 2nd hand 45mm or the 75 mm? Thanks and waiting for your advice. :)Replies
Hey ZR Li,Delete
Both 45mm aand 75mm are very different lenses designed for different purposes. You have to ask yourself what will you be shooting most and how the different focal length will affect the outcome of your shooting, and which one will suit your shooting more. Get the one that you would use more frequently.
In my opinion, the 45mm is so cheap, it is easier to decide on. Maybe in the future, if you think the 45mm is not long enough for certain situations, you can always add the 75mm.

related to Flash, if okay, then please post it, thanks.

I bought the OMD recently. Previously I have used the EPL1, and currently the EPM1. I liked the EPM1's fast AF but the IQ is still far off even from my aging D90.ReplyDelete
Now with the OMD I was impressed! I still think the Fuji X100 is still better IQ wise than the OMD, but the overall quickness of the OMD makes up for it.

Robin Wong's convinved me of the OMD's potential...now dammit you convinced me again about the 75mm!! :)
Great review!
Hi Robin: I changed from a DSLR FULL FRAME to the Micro Four Thirds. Now I have the EM1 and the 75mm plus other lenses. I used the same settings that you say you used in this review, but the quality of my pictures are not as good and sharp as the ones you published in this review. Is there any other setting or post processing that you did to get this amazing quality pictures??ReplyDelete

Here's a hot corner of the global market you might want to look into — Europe (that's right, Europe).
With inflows into the SPDR EURO STOXX 50 ETF (FEZ) topping $1.4 billion during the first eight months of 2013, it appears investors are reassessing the role of European blue chips amid signs of an economic recovery in the region. In fact, the Eurozone purchasing managers' index hit a 26-month high in August.
So what's driving the trend? In large part, relief.
"There is something to be said for that," says David Mazza (left), head of ETF investment strategy at State Street Global Advisors.
Of course, the fundamentals of European blue chips help, as those mainly in France and Germany that sell into other markets around the globe continue to gain traction. Mazza notes that many companies are not only undervalued when compared with where they've historically been, but also undervalued when compared with their counterparts in the United States.
"The sense that we're headed in the right direction, combined with strengthening of many multinational corporations that might in part be domiciled in Europe is pushing the trend," Mazza adds. "Yes, it's mainly in the core of the Eurozone, but we see a few in countries like Italy, Belgium and the Netherlands."
One pushback that he's receiving for the euro blue-chip argument is the fact that if you're looking for a solid value play, countries like Spain and Italy are the places to be.
"The issue with that is bear in mind that the news for the past few months has been that investors are looking for signs of solid, longer-term progress," Mazza says. "Those companies that are the most leveraged to European upside are those in countries like France and Germany; companies that are diversified globally and selling into other markets."
And it's not just in the United States that investors are more excited about Europe. Mazza concludes that similar questions are being asked about Europe in Asia and many other parts of the globe, so it's a "broadly established trend."

I stood by the bed questioning where I ought to be when Rosie came in. Resting on the bed? She came in as well as I was floating fifty percent in between the bed and also the chair with one footwear off.
" You should be Aaron!"
She was young yet her make up made her appearance older. She grinned generally and also her smile was jagged as well as revealed dollar teeth.
" Is it a hr my love?"
I had actually come as well much to back out currently. She kissed me on the lips. I kissed her as well as place my hands on her reduced back and also she leant more detailed in.
" A person's tingling!" She provided my erection a capture as if it was an old made cars and truck horn as well as laughed, after that strolled round to the opposite of the bed and also obtained a prophylactic out of the cabinet as well as put down on the bed.
She opened her legs.
Rosie leant back and also grinned at me.
I stooped over her and also delicately pulled at the sides of her underwears. I believed of the fat guy that came out the level earlier and also asked yourself if it would certainly be a negative suggestion to lick her.
" You require to obtain those garments off mister!"
She claimed. She held onto me as I came as well as she kissed me on the cheek when I had actually ended up.
We kissed once more. I can feel her vaginal area, damp from my tongue, versus the head of my penis. She angled her hips in the direction of me as well as kissed me.
" Turn up right here large young boy."
I searched for at her.
She bid with her forefinger. I intended to ask her to act usually or something, quit calling me large young boy, however I really did not have the digestive tracts to state anything to her.
"I such as feeling your skin," Rosie stated. I understood it was incorrect. I overlooked right into her large brownish eyes as I moved my penis in and also out of her.
Rosie kissed me once again as well as lugged on gradually relocating her hips. I held her close so her busts pushed versus my upper body as well as my tight penis pressed a little much deeper up right into her limited damp cunt.
"It really feels so great," I claimed.
We invested the remainder of the hr talking pointless crap and also at some point Rosie informed me my time was up as well as asked me for the cash.
"We ought to ..." I stated, taking a look at the prophylactic on the cushion.
I kissed her vaginal canal as well as allow my tongue slip in a little. She groaned ridiculously as if she was orgasming from a solitary touch of my tongue.

"If you're looking to sell, have a plan, but realize it won't go according to the plan, but have one anyway."
That comment from serial entrepreneur Jim Freeman, who recently exited a business he created and grew, kicked off a panel discussion on Tuesday morning, "From the Trenches: Three Successful Exits." Moderated by Bob Forbes, president and founder of Denver-based Forbes Mergers & Acquisitions, it consisted of three men who recently participated in the M&A process. Each shared his thoughts on everything from how the deals were structured, to tax implications, to incentivizing employees in order to ensure top valuation.
Freeman, who's been involved in the sale or purchase of over 40 companies, currently holds the position of chief strategy officer of High Touch Technologies. He said he was "determined early on to start a business with my own money." Raising capital from outside investors is one thing, but he started from scratch, then grew and ran the business for 10 years, before he got bored and decided to assemble a team to help him exit.
"If you have one buyer and one seller, you won't get what you want," he said. "We had about a hundred inquiries when we went to market. It's easy to get distracted by the acquisition process, but you still have to step on the gas, steer the business and continue to operate. We also realized people would get scared and jump ship, which would cause the value to plummet, so we wrote into the deal that the buyers would retain certain employees (at management's discretion)."
Enrique Krajmalnik also started his business, Illumen, from scratch in his basement with his father and brother. Illumen was an early telecommunications service provider in the VPN and managed service provider space. He sold it in the fourth quarter of 2012.
"We experienced hyper growth in the first few years," he said. "We thought it would never end, but it did. We then decided to go with more of a recurring revenue model. We institutionalized and systematized a lot of our processes, which built value."
Lon Sears, the third panelist, worked in health care upon graduating from college, but soon realized he didn't want to stay in Big Pharma. He entered the entrepreneurial program at the University of Denver and used his master's thesis to start his own health care company with his wife in 1993.
"I was focused on running, building and growing a business," Sears said. "I was never focused on selling. You imagine that someone will just walk in one day with a big check and you'll ride off into the sunset. We know that doesn't happen. I was approached by a major player in the space about five years ago. I quickly realized I had no negotiating power. So we declined and I focused tremendously on top-line growth initially, and then bottom-line growth." The No. 1 thing he learned was to properly incentivize key employees. He had five direct reports that he tied into the business plan that would benefit financially at the outcome of the deal. In this way, he said, they all had the same goals, values and direction.
Forbes asked Krajmalnik about the dynamics of involving family members in the deal.
"It definitely made it more difficult, which was complicated by the fact that I moved to Texas during the process," Krajmalnik replied. "My general manager got nervous. He was the one person outside of my family who knew what was going on. Despite my repeated assurances that he would be okay post-merger, he left."
He had to then call the buyer and tell him his "right-hand man" was gone, but was surprised by the buyer's response.
"He said that as long as he had me for six months, it would be okay," Krajmalnik related. "He felt that the business was so process-oriented that it could basically run itself. He didn't want me for day-to-day expertise; he wanted me to teach him about the business over all."
The lesson?
"Your business has to be bigger than any one person," he said.
Forbes then moved to culture, asking Sears how he ensured the right fit. In a theme repeated often during the discussion, Sears mentioned people.
"Your people will be key to the deal's success," he said. "You have to tie your employees into the plan. Because we wrote into the plan that they would be retained by the acquiring company, they helped us narrow down the choice of possible suitors."
Freeman added that there were "more deal structures than you can possibly imagine." His deal was structured to provide half of the payment in upfront cash and the other half in a note held by him. In this way he could buy out the company's other principals immediately, and then remain with the acquiring company.
"You're selling your baby," he added. "It can get emotional. I think it's worth $10 million and the buyer might think it's worth $10. You can get insulted, so it's best to have an advisor in order to be one step removed from it."
Krajmalnik noted that his deal was structured in such a way as to avoid double taxation, since the company was formed as a C-corp.
"The double taxation would have taken a big chunk. We had a third party do goodwill valuations for each family member's stake, and then a goodwill valuation for the corporation itself. The personal stakes were paid in cash and the corporate portion was done with a note. In this way we saved about 20% on the tax burden." Krajmalnik also noted the "emotional logjam that comes upon completion of the deal—what will the individual do next, what happens when you no longer have a business card or someone at the country club asks you what it is you do."
"You can only play so much golf," Freeman interjected. "Make a plan for the money, for the business and for yourself. And you need a financial advisor. I acquired a company a while back and the previous owner just filed for personal bankruptcy. He didn't have a plan."
Following the presentation, Frank Traylor, a software entrepreneur who actually received notice during the presentation of the final payment of his recently completed deal, summed up the important takeaways.
- The leadership team needs to be ready for the transaction both personally (prepare to "be out") and financially (tax planning is critical).
- Every deal seems to have nine lives. There will be problems, but you can work through them.
- The process starts long before 'the process' starts. Dressing up the company might require changing focus, restructuring, operational tightening and a general cleaning up of any messes.

In a workshop at the 2013 NAPA/ASPPA 401(k) Summit, Fred Reish, partner at Drinker Biddle & Reath, and Samuel Brandwein, corporate retirement director at Morgan Stanley, took on advisors' new responsibilities after fee disclosure.
There are two "disclosure regimes" advisors have to comply with, according to the panelists: 408(b)(2) plan disclosures and 404(a)5 participant disclosures.
Under the 408(b)2 prohibited transaction rules, advisors have to "prudently evaluate compensation for covered service providers," Reish (right) said. If they fail to do so, they've committed a prohibited transaction. Sponsors aren't off the hook, either, if they fail to collect disclosures.
However, in the preamble to the final regulation, the Department of Labor noted that fiduciaries to a plan should at least be able to compare disclosures to the requirements of the regulation and "form a reasonable belief" that they are adequate. Reish stressed the "reasonable belief" part of the regulation. Advisors can't just trust that covered service providers have fulfilled their disclosure duties. "Sponsors rely on advisors to keep them out of trouble-with-a-capital-T," he said.
Reish suggested creating a checklist to "establish reasonable belief" that disclosures have been made correctly. First, advisors should determine if any covered service providers have failed to deliver their required disclosures.
Next, in determining whether the disclosures are adequate, Reish referred to the DOL's stricture that fiduciaries should be able to compare the disclosure with the required regulations. If hidden compensation isn't disclosed, it's not the sponsor's fault, he said.
If fiduciaries find that there are disclosures missing or incomplete, changes must be requested in writing and the covered service provider must comply within 90 days.
Reish noted that the DOL takes a "tough-love" stance regarding these disclosures. If service providers don't comply with the written request within 90 days, sponsors must fine them and report them to the DOL. Reish said, though, that in most cases he's seen, service providers typically respond within 48 hours. "Service providers are very aware of having to respond," he said.
Among the issues plan fiduciaries have to evaluate as part of the disclosures are: reasonable compensation, reasonable costs, adequate or appropriate services and conflicts of interest that are manageable. Reish said sponsors have a duty to monitor their ongoing obligations every three years.
Reish said that in light of the sometimes extensive disclosures sponsors receive, the DOL was considering requiring that service providers provide a guide similar to a table of contents.
Regarding 404(a)5 requirements, Reish noted that while the legal duty to provide participants' disclosure is on the sponsor, it's likely to fall to recordkeepers and advisors who are "just stepping up, even though they're not legally obligated."
The regulations state that plan administrators aren't held liable for the quality of the information in the disclosures if they "reasonably and in good faith" rely on that information provided by service providers. Here, again, Reish suggested advisors create a checklist to help make sure disclosures meet the requirements.
There are some special issues regarding participant disclosures that advisors need to keep in mind, Reish continued. If there are changes to the plan, participants must be notified between 30 and 90 days before the change takes effect. Furthermore, notification must be made to anyone eligible to participate in the plan, not just people who are actively participating. Reish suggested changes be kept to once a year when possible to avoid multiple mailings and the costs associated with them.
Other disclosures that have to be made to everyone, not just participants, include services and fees that must be listed in the enrollment package, Reish said.
Reish warned that one effect of these disclosures may be an increase in litigation. "Losses cause investors to go talk to attorneys who will look for failed disclosures," he said. He warned that advisors may see more litigation in general. "The focus will shift to service providers," he said, noting that 401(k)s are essentially run by service providers.
Sam Brandwein of Morgan Stanley spoke about behavioral changes among sponsors and participants following the disclosure regulations. One of the most common phrases he's heard regarding the new disclosures, he said, is "much ado about nothing."
He hesitated to say they would have no effect, though, citing behavioral changes following the enactment of seat belt laws in the past as a precedent. Before New York passed its seat belt law in 1984, just 16% of adults used them, he said. Now, that's up to 91%.
He argued, too, that it wasn't just the law and drivers' fear of being ticketed that led to more people using seat belts, but the education and public awareness regarding the benefits that came with the law. In New Hampshire, where there are no seat belt laws for adults, he said, seat belt use was at 16% in 1984. Today, even without regulations for adults, it's risen to 75%.
Brandwein noted that following fee disclosures, changes in participant "behavior will be slow to evolve because the starting point is so low." He referred to a 2010 study by AARP that found 71% of people thought they paid no plan-related fees; another 6% said they weren't sure if they did. "A lot of participants don't understand how 401(k)s work. Even in the lowest-cost funds, there are still fees."
One of the difficulties of effective disclosure is that participants are getting this information without context, Brandwein said. "Not every investment can be easily broken down," he said.
Regardless of their fees, advisors can demonstrate their value with benchmarking. "Make the case for services you provide like training and education," Brandwein said. He referred to a survey of plan sponsors by OppenheimerFunds in September that found nearly half of sponsors don't believe providers with the lowest fees always offer the best value. However, just 4% of sponsors said they believed higher fees indicated a higher value.

The purpose of the 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) is to create community learning centers that provide students with academic enrichment opportunities as well as additional services designed to complement their regular academic program. Community learning centers must offer families of participating students literacy instruction and related educational development programs. Proposed activities target students and families of students who attend schools eligible for Title I schoolwide programs or schools that serve a high percentage of students from low-income families.
Grantees are expected to attend bi-monthly networking meetings. These meetings offer technical assistance from the Maryland State Department of Education personnel, peer to peer technical assistance, and other outside resources selected by the coordinator based on expressed needs of the grantees. These meetings are either all day or half-day meetings.
Grantees consist of schools, local school systems, faith-based organizations, and community-based organizations.
Any public or private organization is now eligible to apply for a 21st CCLC grant. Examples of agencies and organizations eligible under the 21st CCLC program include, but are not limited to: non-profit agencies, city or county government agencies, faith-based organizations, institutions of higher education, and for-profit corporations. The statute encourages eligible organizations applying for funds to collaborate with the schools the children attend. The statute also allows a consortium of two or more agencies, organizations or entities to apply.
This competition is open to:
The participants must provide services to students, and families of students who primarily attend schools eligible for Title I school-wide programs or schools that serve a high percentage of students from low-income families.

search engine optimization - internet marketing - website optimization
for California Car and Auto Dealerships
Search Engine Optimization and Submission - Internet Marketing Service for Car and Automobile Dealerships in California
More people buy cars in California than any other state in the Union. The demand for information about cars and automobiles online is greater now than ever before. There are hundreds of automobile dealerships, both new and used, in the state of California, each of them with a need for targeted internet marketing. Some are getting great results from their sites, others not so good. Those that are placed high on search engine results get the most traffic from California online car buyers, hence they get the most business. The reason those sites are placed high on the results are because of good web site optimization.
My Web Reporter is the place where you can inquire about having your site optimized for search engine placement and monitor how the site is positioned and ranked on the most popular engines on the web. If you own an automobile or car dealer web site and are experiencing trouble with accurate placement and a lack of targeted traffic, read on. This will be a valuable resource to gaining insight to what is necessary to develop the kind of traffic and internet marketing that you desire to your web site.
This site was originally created as a place for customers of this service to view the reports that showcase results of their web site's search engine placement and ranking. However, now the services described here are designed to provide you with the necessary optimization for your website to attract the attention of the search engines, and hopefully attract new customers to your dealership.
Our Clients
Most of the clients of this service are, but not limited to the car and automotive or real estate industry. Realtors® and car dealers have a need for substantial and accurate placement and internet marketing on search engines in order to drive targeted traffic and attract new business leads. A non-optimized web site, especially untouched template sites such as those provided by the corporation are akin to a high performance sports car locked up in a garage; One that no one sees and never gets driven. What we do, in essence is give the site a "detailing" and "tune up" so it can be taken out on the open road for a good drive.
If you are in need of a website for your California car dealership, we can make recommendations or you can use our services to have one built from scratch. We will recommend only the best: Websites that are the most user friendly, that possess self-contained internet marketing capabilities, and websites that have the best chance of being picked up by the search engines once optimized. In some cases we can arrange to have your new website built in less than a week.
Any car dealer/dealership web site can be optimized for internet marketing. The idea behind optimization is to include as many of the components within the site that the search engines look for when qualifying one for proper placement and indexing.
To view some of the websites that we have worked on, go to this page.
One thing that most California automobile and car dealer web site owners don't know is that there are distinct rules laid down by each search engine for placement. Unless you are using a "pay per click" service, getting high ranking for your site can be frustrating at best, a waste of money and time at worst. With each search engine, there are certain "algorithms" set by the vast computers that run each search engine's system.
The algorithms change in time as each search engine acquires new information about how to do a better job of properly indexing the millions of auto dealer sites out there they are required to give results for. It is not the search engine's intent to deliberately ignore certain web sites or pages, unless of course the owner of that site or page is breaking spam rules or over submitting.
Other Types of Services
There are many services available that charge anywhere from $100 per year to submit to $1200 per month for submission and reporting. The producer of this site has only found a few that offer both. Submission without optimization is a waste of time and money. You are better to use the money for traditional marketing programs than throwing it down the drain on a non-optimized site. Yes, you may find a slight increase in traffic by just submitting alone, but the results will be vastly improved with accurate optimization. Think of it like trying to grow a lawn on hard, unfertilized soil. Yes, some grass may grow, but you won't be inviting your friends over to putt any rounds of golf.
The average cost of this kind of service will vary, depending on the specific needs of the client and the size of the project. If our program cannot fit into your budget, you might want to consider a different approach to your internet marketing or learn how to do what we do on your own. That is entirely possible for anyone. After all, this isn't rocket science. But with diligence, time and an open mind, you can learn website optimization and internet marketing from many resources available.
If you wish to email us about our services or have any questions about what you read here, use this contact form to inquire:
To purchase web services from us, please click the link above and describe to us all the information about you that you can think of.

This is the Month, and this the happy morn
Wherein the Son of Heav'ns eternal King,
Of wedded Maid, and Virgin Mother born,
Our great redemption from above did bring …
From John Milton's "On the Morning of Christ's Nativity"
What is "the Supreme Christmas poem in the English language"? This must have been more of a stumper than I thought, because I asked the question Tuesday, and nobody got it right. I may have thrown you off by saying I'd give an American writer's answer when the poem wasn't written here. (Oh, sons and daughters of Cambridge! Where were you when a fellow Cantabrigian needed you?) The novelist Reynolds Price argues – and many others would agree – that the poem is John Milton's "On the Morning of Christ's Nativity." Price says of Milton and his poem:
"The most powerful early component of his genius became visible in December 1629. While on the winter vacation from his studies at Cambridge, he wrote his initial indispensable poem, an ode 'On the Morning of Christ's Nativity.' It was, almost certainly, the result – only two weeks after his twenty-first birthday – of his eagerness to exhibit a first fruit of the high calling he sensed within himself. And in the freewheeling rhetorical rapture which pours out memorable phrases in joyous profusion, in its complex musical urgency, and its unquestioned Christian sense of God's immanence in nature, the ode continues to be the supreme Christmas poem in the English language."
Reynolds Price in an essay on Milton in the just-published Literary Genius: 25 Classic Writers Who Define English and American Literature (Paul Dry Books, $18.95, paperback) www.pauldrybooks.com, selected and edited by Joseph Epstein with wood engravings by Barry Moser. Price, the poet and novelist, is the James B. Duke Professor English at Duke University www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reynolds_Price.
The first lines of Milton's poem appear at the top of this post. You can read the annotated full text in the Milton Reading Room on the Dartmouth College site http://www.dartmouth.edu/~milton/reading_room/nativity/index.shtml. Please note that on this template I can't indent the lines as Milton did.
Did you know the answer to Tuesday's question? An easy way to become better acquainted with Milton's poetry is to go to the free site Cyber Hymnal and listen the hymn "Let Us With a Gladsome Mind," which you can hear by clicking on this link: http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/l/e/letuglad.htm. (You will hear the music immediately when you click.) The words to "Let Us With a Gladsome Mind" come from Milton's poem with the same title, which he wrote when he was 15. You can read the poem and listen to the music simultaneously at Cyber Hymnal www.cyberhymnal.org, which also offers at no cost the words and music to thousands of other hymns, including religious Christmas carols.

There is no other place that has the hot-and-spicy, cool-and-mellow, groovy vibe of Jamaica.
Take its white sand, pristine blue waters and friendly people, and combine them with rum punch, spicy food and a healthy dose of reggae music, and you've got something special.
This is Jamaica, mon.
There is something unique about the Caribbean island that sets it apart as a destination for winter-weary Canadians. In 2010, for the seventh year in a row, Jamaica recorded an increase in Canadian visitors. Some 325,000 of us slapped our flip-flops into the white sand.
Other islands have the sun, sand and surf, the all-inclusives (which Jamaica does particularly well) and the cheap winter flights.
But Jamaica has a unique vibrancy that draws visitors back many times over. And there are the accommodating people, who seem to regard it as a point of national pride to act as personal ambassadors for their culture. The Jamaica Tourist Board offers a unique program called Meet the People, in which you can sign up with a Jamaican host family who will give you a taste of the real lifestyle. They will tour you around, take you to their favourite restaurants and help you to mingle with the locals (www.visitjamaica.com).
Each side of the mountainous, 10,000-square-kilometre island offers something special, and where you go will depend on what you're looking for.
You can do the beach and adventure thing at a resort on the north side, or you can find a secluded eco-hotel on the south side and spend your days at one with nature.
It's fair to say most visitors make the trip to the north side of the island, where the music is reggae, the food is spicy, the beaches are silky white, the waters warm and the rum punch cold. This is where you'll find the large resorts, the shopping and the nightlife.
In most of the resort areas on the north side, you can try out dune buggy tours or jeep safaris, canopy zip-line tours, horseback riding on the beach, and river tubing. The most popular tour company is Chukka (www.chukkacaribbean.com), based in Montego Bay and Negril, which offers a range of tours for every adrenalin level.
Negril is a resort town of just 3,000 located on the northwest tip of the island, with a good mix of large resorts and small villas. Rick's Grill is famous in the area, a fantastic place for cliff diving (whether you wish to take the plunge or just take in the spectacle) and renowned for astonishing sunsets. Negril also boasts Seven Mile Beach, a stretch of pristine white sand that in reality stretches 3.7 miles (six kilometres) down the coast. The area, rated one of the top 10 best beaches in the world, offers a playground for snorkelling, scuba diving and horseback riding.
Montego Bay is perhaps the best-known city on the north side. Here you will not be disappointed by the top-notch, all-inclusive services that are so prevalent. It also has the "hip strip", a great place to look for some nightlife.
There is great shopping to be had here, too; the high-end shops of Rose Hall are the most popular.
This is a great place to tour some of the original "great halls", the big sugar cane plantation homes of the area. You can also sign up for any of the wonderful activities you'd expect, from zip-line tours to deep sea fishing or golfing.
Moving west along the north coast to Ocho Rios, you'll find another slice of Jamaican life.
This town offers a number of well-known attractions.
Dunn's River Falls is a natural wonder of a waterfall. You can clamber 180 metres up through cascading water, taking in the scenery or stopping for a dip in one of the many small pools along the way, and experiencing what is arguably one of the top sites in the Caribbean.
Mystic Mountain is a place for the adrenalin seeker. Remember the Jamaican bobsled team at the '88 Calgary Olympics? Well you can experience a thrill-a-moment rainforest bobsled run that plunges you down 1,000 metres.
The Green Grotto Caves, another natural wonder, provides a stunning display of stalactites and stalagmites and the famous Grotto Lake. If you saw the 1973 James Bond film Live and Let Die, you may remember the scenes shot inside the caves.
If it's solitude or eco-adventure you're after, you'll want to head to the lesser-travelled south coast. Fewer tourists make that journey because it's a little harder to reach. With no direct flight to a major city, (Jamaica's two airports are located in Kingston and Montego Bay) you're looking at an extra three-hour drive or a charter flight. Most people fly into Montego Bay and travel from there. There are no big resorts here; the area is dominated by villas and very small hotels. Jake's Island Outpost, a chain of eco-friendly boutique hotels is popular here.
The south coast has an undiscovered, almost jungle-like feel to it that will appeal to anyone looking to commune with nature. It's picturesque, with a lot of stunning cliffs; but the beaches are not as sandy, and the roads are mostly unpaved. It's rugged, not commercial, a place to go if you truly want to get away from it all.
That's not to say there are no tourist attractions.
YS Falls is a spectacular waterfall that gets far fewer visitors than the popular Dunn's River Falls. And Black River Safari offers an adventure up the Black River into wild, tangled mangrove forests. But watch out for crocodiles.
No matter which part of the island you choose to visit, you can enjoy the fantastic local food. In Jamaica, resorts and hotels embrace the local cuisine. There's nothing quite like the Jamaican specialties of curry goat, salt fish with ackee (the national fruit) and jerk chicken. The best place to find authentic jerk chicken is Scotchie's in Montego Bay; it may look like a little shack on the side of the road, but it's worth the stop. A spicy Jamaican patty makes the perfect lunch on the go.
You can't talk about the Jamaican vibe without the music. Though there are many genres here, including ska, rocksteady, dance hall, and calypso, Jamaica is best known for reggae. You'll hear plenty of it. If you're a fan, you'll want to check out the Bob Marley Centre & Mausoleum near Ocho Rios.
Jamaica does have a hurricane season (June through November), but for the most part there is consistently good weather on the island. Just as most Canadians are beginning to scrape off their windshields in the morning, temperatures there settle in at about 82 degrees, always tempered by a refreshing breeze off the water.

It's Important to Know When to Choose a Prostitute
Prostitutes are women who earn money by accepting offers for sexual services. There are many girls working as prostitutes, but only few have the qualities to be successful in this field. The qualifications for a successful call girl is the ability to be persistent, honest, and dependable.
For instance, if you come across a girl at a bar or restaurant who promises to give you an hour of sex for only five dollars, then don't give it a second thought. If the girl is good enough, she will eventually pay you more than five dollars. To call a girl and make her pay, you need to be honest and dependable.

Call girls can have several advantages for their clients in terms of receiving more money and for their business. A girl who gives you five dollars in exchange for only one hour of sex, will work for you for longer because you have made her more reliable. You can also use this advantage to your advantage. Once she is with you for a while, she might eventually make the money that you were expecting.

Girls may also have different expectations when it comes to price. One reason why there are some girls willing to pay a lot for sex is because they don't want to wait. To some, the waiting time can be very long. But if you are smart enough, you will take advantage of this. You can use this to your advantage.
Many girls don't want to waste the extra money on you and will simply give you up immediately. They think you will drop them as soon as you have the money. But if you play the game right, you can get the best of both worlds. After paying her some cash, you can treat her to something in return.
Of course, you will have to get a good customer before you can actually buy her services. Some girls are really desperate to meet new men. Before hiring a girl for sex, you have to see that she will actually make a good customer for you.
Girls who are willing to accept customers from you can grow your client base. So, you should try to find out which girls are willing to accept clients. And then you can work on building a relationship with them.

With more sex appeal, you can lure the sexy girls into your bed. This can build your reputation in the brothel scene. Sex is very important to both the girls and the customers. Being a successful call girl relies on being a good customer.
You must keep in mind that if you want to build rapport with girls, then you have to treat them well. They expect more from you because you are offering them something in return. Once you start doing this, it can be easy for you to make a successful girl your customer.
Girls who want to get into the sex industry should be careful with pimps. Many pimps force girls to give up their phones and other private information. Many girls are scared of their pimps and are worried about their safety. But you don't have to worry about your safety.
Girls should know that pimps do not force girls to give up any kind of private information. They are just looking for ways to blackmail and harass you. You should think twice before dealing with pimps. Sometimes they can be real perverts and may try to talk you into giving them even more benefits.

Things seem to be getting back on track with Sony's Playstation 3 empire in the wake of this year's catastrophic data breach, and now the company is taking some interesting steps to prevent such an incident from happening again.
According to Reuters, Sony Corp has hired former U.S. Department of Homeland Security officer Philip Reitinger, who previously served as director of the U.S. National Cyber Security Center. Reitinger will become the company's new chief information security officer —- a position created in the aftermath of a cyber attack that released information from 100 million Playstation Network user accounts.
"Certainly the network issue was a catalyst for the appointment," stated a Sony spokesman. "We are looking to bolster our network security even further."
While the value of Sony shares has fallen dramatically since the attack was revealed in April, Sony CEO Howard Stringer recently reported that the Playstation Network has added more than three million new subscribers since the gaming service came back online.
Last month, Sony announced plans to cut $50 from the price of its Playstation 3 consoles, and with the upcoming release of Playstation-exclusive Resistance 3 receiving positive early reviews, the digital giant could indeed be turning the corner.

With only 1,500 square feet, architect Leslie Klein set out to create a warm, inviting space that combines ancient Jewish tradition with modern elements, in the newly redesigned Centre for Jewish Studies at University of Toronto.
The plan was to have a space in the heart of the St. George campus where students and faculty could collaborate and learn from one another.
"The idea was that I want to have one person feel comfortable here, and 40 people," said Klein, an architect for Quadrangle Architects Limited in Toronto, which spearheaded the project.
The centre is in the campus' Jackman Humanities building.
"The university recognized that we needed an address on campus that would allow us to work with our partner units, and all the big humanities programs are in this building," said the centre's executive director, political science professor Jeffrey Kopstein. "This allows us to have a program that is deeply integrated."
What Kopstein and his team didn't want was a separate Jewish studies building off to the side of the campus. Nor did they want a space that would be overflowing with Jewish symbols and artifacts, since of the 4,000 students who take Jewish studies courses, only about 20 per cent are Jewish, Kopstein said.
The centre has 72 faculty members from various university departments teaching a total of about 91 courses.
While the U of T Jewish studies program was founded in 1967, the Centre for Jewish Studies was not established until 2008. Now that it has been relocated to a central hub on campus, "it's a huge signal that the university's priorities are changing," Kopstein said.
But meeting everyone's demands was not easy. Klein had to create enough personalized space for permanent and visiting faculty members, yet leave a large, open area where students could work and hang out.
His design includes a central space with desks along the wall for students, large flexible tables in the centre that can be moved around for various activities, and couches for students who just want to spend time there. Bright, orange chairs, dark wood and glass walls set off the soft bronze and copper toned materials.
"On one level, it reminded us of the design of ancient synagogues, which were actually not theatre style, but more parliamentary style, where people sat on two sides and exchanged ideas across the hall," Klein said.
And unlike in many other faculty headquarters on campus, private offices are not the focal point. Instead, they line the wall, separated from the open space with only a glass partition, partially covered by a layer of palimpsest, paper that has been used several times.
"In ancient times, when paper was not ubiquitous but was actually very valuable, when people wanted to write something, they would reuse old pieces of paper," Klein said. "They would literally scrape off the old ink and reuse [the paper]. And if you scrape off ink time and time again, you don't really lose what was there before but you layer on top of it. We really wanted to emphasize that knowledge is better layering on."
The natural, modern space is a stark contrast to what it looked like before. "It was a very conventional, partitioned 1960s office space," Kopstein said. "It was as if you walked into a bank."
He believes the design has already made a difference in helping the centre achieve its goals.
"I actually teach a class of 1,200 students, so if I have office hours here, there can be about 30 students in here. Where would they normally go? In a normal office building, they would be lined up in the hallway," Kopstein said. "Here, they can sit down, have a coffee, and we actually get Jewish studies majors that way. People get interested. They talk to one another.
"It's part of the changing demographics in Toronto too," he added. "I really think that what Les has done here is allowed us to contribute to the rebirth of downtown Jewish Toronto."
