The roaring city sleeps

Metal fingers clutching dirty sheets

And no one comes for free

In this place where the angels sleep"

Joan Brandwyn: This must seem terrible to you.

Katherine Watson: I didn't say that.

Joan Brandwyn: Sure you did. You always do. You stand in class and tell us to look beyond the image, but you don't. To you a housewife is someone who sold her soul for a center hall colonial. She has no depth, no intellect, no interests. You're the one who said I could do anything I wanted. This is what I want.

Katherine Watson: [hugs Joan] Congratulations. Be happy.





Topher was raised in Darien, Connecticut. He attended school in Massachusetts for two years where he began his acting career in such musicals as "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolored Dreamcoat" and "The Pirates of Penzance". Topher also tried his first shot at directing with a choose-your-own-adventure style movie starring his classmates. His first name is Christopher. He hated being called "Chris" in school so he changed it to "Topher" as time went on.

He attended New Hampshire's Brewster Academy and the University of Southern California. Dropped out of USC to start his show biz career in
"That '70s Show" (1998) at age 20. He was cast in "That '70s Show" (1998) because the show's creators, Bonnie Turner and Terry Turner, had seen him play Pseudolus in a high-school production of "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" (their daughter attended the same high school as Grace). Apart from school plays, Grace had absolutely no acting experience before landing the role of Eric Forman.

Dolphins are mammals, not fish. They are warm blooded like man, and give birth to one baby called a calf at a time. At birth a bottlenose dolphin calf is about 90-130 cms long and will grow to approx. 4 metres, living up to 40 years.They are highly sociable animals, living in pods which are fairly fluid, with dolphins from other pods interacting with eachother from time to time.


With the help of several beautiful bottlenose dolphins we can see how well the dolphin body is adapted for their life in the ocean


Dolphins use their powerful tail flukes in an up and down motion to move through the water. They also use their tails when hunting, hitting a fleeing fish up into the air with their tail, stunning it, then scooping the fish up when it falls back into the water. A dolphin slapping its tail on the water in the wild may be a sign of annoyance, or a warning to other dolphins of danger.

Sony-manager: 'PS3 wordt eind 2006 gelanceerd'

Door Redactie Tweakers.net - dinsdag 7 maart 2006 - 11:40 -

Submitter: Oscar Mopperkont - Views: 18.627

Variety.com had een gesprek met Sony-CEO Howard Stringer, waarin deze stelt dat de Playstation 3 op tijd gelanceerd zal worden voor de eindejaarsperiode van 2006.

Recent werd nog gemeld dat de planning oorspronkelijk was om de spelconsole in de lente te lanceren, maar dat een vertraging niet ondenkbaar was.

Stringer heeft nu bevestigd dat Sony de PS3 in het najaar op de markt zal zetten. Het succes van deze console is voor Sony van cruciaal belang. Het bedrijf heeft er namelijk voor gekozen van de Playstation 3 een alleskunner te maken die niet alleen kan dienen om videospelletjes te spelen, maar ook Blu-ray-schijfjes kan afspelen en als digitaal entertainmentcentrum moet dienen.

Keerzijde van de medaille is dat dit de prijs van de console gevoelig de hoogte in zal drijven, en dat analisten vrezen dat de complexiteit van het systeem de populariteit zal beperken.

Floor de Goede wint VPRO Debuutprijs 2006

De Avonden, 27 januari 2005

Tijdens de persconferentie van Stripdagen Haarlem in Paradiso heeft Peter de Wit de VPRO Debuutprijs uitgereikt aan de Amsterdamse tekenaar Floor de Goede.

Uit het juryrapport:

Vriendelijk, herkenbaar en vrolijk: dat is de wereld van Flo. Zijn eerste 'echte' strip (na een reeks boekjes in eigen beheer) heet heel veelzeggend 'De dagelijkse beslommeringen'. Daarin vertelt Floor de Goede (1980) over alledaagse wereldwonderen als het moeizaam op gang komen op de maandagochtend, het ingenieuze functioneren van de wasmachine en het gaan samenwonen met je vriendje. Kleine maar fijne semi-autobiografische observaties die de Amsterdamse twintiger raak weergeeft in even toegankelijke als charmante tekeningen. Te oordelen naar zijn oorspronkelijke tekenstijl is Flo het debutantenstadium al voorbij, vond de jury. Even geïmponeerd waren de juryleden door het feit dat Flo nu al twee jaar lang bijna dagelijks een nieuwe stripglimlach op zijn website www.doyouknowflo.nl weet te publiceren. 'FF een Flo'tje pakken' is voor sommige mensen al het ideale begin van hun dag. Reden genoeg om Flo de VPRO Debuutprijs toe te kennen, besloot de jury. Daarbij sprak de jury de hoop uit dat Flo zijn veelbelovende artistieke talenten verder zal blijven ontwikkelen. Want hoe vriendelijk en vrolijk de dagelijkse Flo'tjes ook zijn, volgens de juryleden heeft Floor de Goede nog veel meer in zijn mars.

Eervolle vermelding VPRO Debuutprijs 2006:

De jury wilde laten weten ook onder de indruk te zijn van debutant Conz (pseudoniem van Constantijn van Cauwenberghe, 1977). Met 'Toen ik nog baas van de wereld was' en 'De tweede kus' toont Conz zich een getalenteerd en ambitieus stripmaker, die er niet voor terugschrikt lange, op zichzelf staande verhalen te vertellen. Dat is in het door gagstrips gedomineerde Nederlandse taalgebied tegenwoordig een weinig gangbare en dappere keuze, waarvoor Conz extra lof verdient, aldus de jury.

I don't know about Serendipity. It does Remind me of Something though.

I was Travelling through Spain On My Own.

At some point I was again looking for a decent hostel to spend a couple of days

in an interesting city, when I met this Irish girl. Like lots of Irish people

she was very Friendly and Talkative. And drank lots of either Tea or Beer the whole

day through.

She told me about her Brother who was also Adopted.

I can still visualize that moment that I was standing in the dark hall of the

Spanish building searhing for the Light. Feeling proud and stupid at the same time

for not knowing what I was looking for and all sorts of things you think while

Travelling, when this Red-haired girl came almost

jumping down the the stairs, picking up my suitcase and leading the way, without

needing to ask or introduce herself.

She was just There and great company to hang out with, not to mention trying all

sorts of Spanish Food with me.
