...evolution. Nowadays, the product itself can be updated as improvements are made, and I suspect Nikon is hard at work trying to right some of the wrongs of its new release.

After she met film-score composer Gregory, they released their 2000 debut Felt Mountain, an enchanting, cinematic progression from the trip-hop groove. The 2003 follow-up Black Cherry added a dose of glam and disco; the single Strict Machine became a synthesized surefire floor filler...
...doing their part to advance the Jewish enterprise by settling in territory they regard as part of Eretz Yisrael. Like a surprising number of other Gaza settlers, the Hilburgs are Americans who followed their ideals to Israel, giving up a comfortable future in the U.S. for the rigors of pioneer life. Now they are being ordered to abandon that life by the same Israeli leaders who had made settling the occupied territories an article of faith. For those like the Hilburgs, it's not just about policy: Bryna is afraid the deep personal anguish of the settlers will be lost...
