«Born on March 14th, Grace Park's family moved to Vancouver while she was just a child. Once a model, Grace cut her acting teeth on the CBC Network series Edgemont in the role of Shannon Ng. She has appeared in movies such as "Romeo Must Die" and "L.A. Law: The Movie", and has guest-starred on numerous television episodes for series like The Outer Limits, Dark Angel, The Immortal, and Stargate-SG1. Among her non-acting accomplishments, Grace Park has earned a degree in Psychology from the University of British Columbia. In 2003, Grace Park won the role of Sharon Valerii after trying out for the role of Galactica bridge crew member Dualla and being passed over for Starbuck. The original Boomer had been played by Herbert Jefferson Jr., but Grace never watched the show prior to winning a part in the new mini-series, so she bypassed any intimidation some actors might feel at following in another's footsteps.

«OAKLAND, Md. — Dan Boone has no doubt that his crusade against wind energy is the right way to protect the Allegheny highlands he loves. Let other environmentalists call him deluded at best, traitorous at worst. He remains undeterred.
~
For four years or more, Mr. Boone has traveled across the mid-Atlantic to make every argument he can muster against local wind-power projects: they kill birds and bats; they are too noisy; they are inefficient, making no more than a symbolic contribution to energy needs.

«The Nokia 770 Internet Tablet is a new breed of device, aimed at putting the Internet and an excellent web browsing experience in the palm of your hand. Larger than a PDA (but not by much) and sharing the same touch screen experience, the Nokia 770 doesn't aim to replace the PDA nor your mobile phone. In fact the device has no mobile phone radio, a first for a Nokia device. Instead it relies on its WiFi 802.11g connectivity or you may use a Bluetooth-enabled phone as a wireless modem for the Nokia when you're not in range of a WiFi network. [...]»
