West Side Story- Broadway San Jose
One of Broadway’s most well-known and influential musicals, West Side Story is a loose modern twist on the classic Romeo and Juliet story. Taking place in the streets of New York City, the story highlights the racial struggle existing between two opposing gangs in the 1950s. Based on a book by Arthur Laurents, West Side Story features music by Leonard Bernstein, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, and conception and choreography by Jerome Robbins. On the Broadway stage since 1957, the musical has been produced over and over again. Last night, the team of West Side Story celebrated their 500th performance of their current national tour.
The theater was packed for opening night of West Side Story at the Center for Performing Arts in Downtown San Jose. Ticket holders took their seats and waited f [...] Continue reading →
SOUTH EAST BEAST: Danny “Dandiggity” Le
Danny Le, Owner of South East Beast is a prominent individual here in San Jose. The 30 year old entrepreneur may have gain an image as a party goer because you can catch him hanging out on lounges, art shows, live concert venues, etc. Since I started to be an active photographer in San Jose’s events, I noticed Danny Le to be in most of my pictures. I like to observe the people around the events that I attended. I looked for inspiration in the crowd and I noticed that Danny does the same thing except with a different method. He looks for inspiration by absorbing the people that surrounds him. At first, you’ll catch Danny mingling with the crowd almost appearing as “Mr. Popular” because Danny seems to know everyone in San Jose. Things would change [...] Continue reading →
Kate Middleton’s Chic Sweater Dress
While thinking about a celebrity look to focus on fresh off the Holidays, I sifted through images of glam New Years Eve looks, nearly blinded by all of the Kardashians in sequins. When I regained my vision I decided that all of those sequin frocks had been tossed to the ground (or eBay) soon after the ball dropped at midnight on December 31st, no matter how fabulous they were. And most of us Non-Kardashians had done the same with our respective dresses, and won’t see sparkle unless a weekend in Sin City is on our 2012 forecast.
With that revelation, I opted to delve into a more classic look worn a week prior to the New Year by America’s favorite new accidental “celebrity” and Style Icon in the making, Kate Middleton. Kate’s look can be worn in any winter m [...] Continue reading →

Parenting Well in a Media Age: Keeping Our Kids Human
Gloria DeGaetano (Author), Diane Dreher PhD (Foreword)
This illuminating investigation takes a fresh look at the role of media in children’s lives. An overview of the formidable challenges parents face and creative ways to overcome them are included, as are strategies for turning a home environment from “high-tech” to “high-touch.” Moving beyond demonizing the media, this work, like none before it, articulates the difficulties of parenting in our depersonalized society. It offers hopeful alternatives for all parents wanting to protect children from, and teach children about, media’s impact.

Only girls cry?
“If grades and sports are good in a boys life, we assume their inner emotions are too, that’s not the case” -RAISING CAIN
I recently watched a documentary regarding the inner emotional life of boys in america. A film that challenges social and cultural expectations and norms as it relates to their development.
What is the documentary about?
America’s boys are in trouble. They are the most violent in the industrialized world. Many are unable to express their emotions. On average, boys are doing worse in the classroom than they were 10 years ago.
Who is responsible for this situation? How do we learn to listen to and support our boys? How can we guide them on the path to becoming responsible, caring men?
The documentary, Raising Cain: Boys in Focus, provides answ [...] Continue reading →
Race To Nowhere
SOURCE: http://www.racetonowhere.com/about-film
Featuring the heartbreaking stories of young people across the country who have been pushed to the brink, educators who are burned out and worried that students aren’t developing the skills they need, and parents who are trying to do what’s best for their kids, Race to Nowhere points to the silent epidemic in our schools: cheating has become commonplace, students have become disengaged, stress-related illness, depression and burnout are rampant, and young people arrive at college and the workplace unprepared and uninspired.
Race to Nowhere is a call to mobilize families, educators, and policy makers to challenge current assumptions on how to best prepare the youth of America to become healthy, bright, contributing and leading citizens.

French Omelet Recipe for a Cheri on the Go
So you’re taking off for Valley Fair in 20 and haven’t had a bite yet? Put that granola bar away, a real cheri can make this work (and have enough time to put your face on), after all you’re going to need that energy for carrying around those shopping bags!
Before your final application of mascara, slice a tablespoon of butter in half. Dice one half and leave the other, put both in the freezer for 10 mins. Meanwhile, put an omelet pan on low heat w/ a tablespoon of oil.
Apply blush and bronzer. Maybe swap shoes. Now, back into the kitchen, whisk 2 eggs and 1 egg yolk together 80 times in a bowl. 80 times will blend the egg yolk and white perfectly to achieve that monochromatic golden omelet look. Dice up a few chives or whatever herbs/veggies you dig, and shred a bit of Gruyere (or a [...] Continue reading →
