Sweetheart Corner
Beals appeared in "Flashdance" while a freshman at Yale studying American literature. While at Yale, she also starred in Franc Roddam's "The Bride". She married independent filmmaker Alexandre Rockwell in the mid 80s, and has appeared in several of his films. Most notably, she starred in his "In the Soup", which won the 1992 Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival and the Audience Award at the Deauville Film Festival.
While at Yale, she was classmates with David Duchovny, who suggested her for a part on The X-Files (which went to Gillian Anderson).

The West Bank Israel
My Dad has been saying that the
reason why the Palestianien's and
Israelies won't put down the sword over
The West Bank probably has some
basis in the fact that the news bullitins
don't say that The West Bank is a high
physical region as this map does not show but this one does..

The Mandarin Design Ranking for the last six months..

this is serious
Recently in an email a fellow blogger mentioned that while Mandarin gets 400 visitors each day he gets only fourteen. His blog is better than ours (he didn't say that, we say that because it's true). We immediately asked to be removed from the Bear so that folks aren't mislead by the numbers. The numbers are numbers. That's all.
In the deleted comment I said something like this.

"I could tell him why we get 400 visitors a day but then I'd have to kill him".

Blue World
Heart and soul took control,
Took control of me.
Paid my dues, spread the news,
Hands across the sea.
Put me down, turned me round,
Turned me round to see.
Marble halls, open doors,
Someone found the key
And it's only what you do
That keeps it coming back on you
And it's only what you say
That can give yourself away.
Underground, sight and sound,
Human symphony.
Heard the voice, had no choice,
Needed to be free.
Fly me high, touch the sky,
Left the earth below.
Heard the line, saw the sign,
Knew which way to go
'Cos it's easier to try
Than to prove it can't be done
And it's easier to stay
Than to turn around and run.

It's a blue world.
It takes somebody to help somebody.
Oh, it's a blue world,
It's a new world.
It needs somebody to love somebody.
Oh, it's a blue world.

from dpreview via here sort of..
We first caught sight of Fujifilm's medium format back tucked away and behind glass at the PMA show earlier this year, but at the time there was no specific information available. Nine months later Fujifilm has now officially announced the 'DBP for GX680' medium format digital back. This digital back features a 52 x 37 mm SuperCCD sensor with 20.68 million effective pixels producing a maximum output image of 41.36 million pixels (7648 x 5408). This digital back is designed for use with Fujifilm's GX680 series of medium format cameras (up to 6 x 8 cm film). The back has selectable sensitivity of ISO 50, 100, 160 and 200, a 1.8" TFT LCD monitor, can shoot one frame every 1.5 seconds and stores images on Compact Flash (Type I or II). The back is due to go on sale at the end of January 2004 (in Japan) at a price of 2,380,000 YEN ($22,120), what a bargain!
