It’s obscure. It's disturbing. It’s hard to stop
watching. Dance Fundamentals would be better
described as “strange man dancing.” It's one Web
site where visitors can learn all the steps to a two-
step. hip-hop, minimal techno, dub and brasilec-
tro. The lessons, offered in English and German,
have been developed and are coached by a pro
fessional instructor named “RenZ.” Featured in
the form of short videos that give each dance's
history, the lessons lend advice on how to per
form various dances. After the lesson, click the
link for dance and watch RenZ dance his heart
out in that style.
The video requires a Quicklime plug-in and is
best viewed using a high speed Internet connec
tion. But having a slow connection should not
stop anyone from visiting the site. The lessons are
interesting, and the dance videos are hysterical. If
one is in a bad humor, only a quick look at the
splash page is sure to lighten the mood. However,
taking the time to watch the videos guarantees a
laugh that one will want to share with friends and
family alike.

thefanlistings.net
Enter fanlistings.net. a site where the main pur
pose is to join people with similar passions. From
Brad Pitt to vinyl records, thousands of categories
come together under fanlistings.net. The site
ensures that only one listing exists for an item and
that the listing is publicized for all fans of the item
to join.
Fanlistings work quickly and easily. Once
someone decides to join a fanlisting, all they have
to do is visit the site created for that listing and
sign up. However, since it is fast, easy and fun to
do, fanlistings can quickly get out of hand. With so
many listings to choose from, there is nothing to
stop someone from joining dozens of listings.
Before long, one’s name, location, e-mail address,
and any other information they wish to share is
there for thousands to find. Fanlistings.net may be
the “new big thing” on the Internet; however, the
universal appeal of its numerous listings can easily
overwhelm the average visitor.
Listen up. freshmen. Pickaprof.com, a site
known and loved by grade-conscious upperth
men. could be your link to snagging the bestpr.
lessors on campus. Users simply sign on, typei:
a professor’s last name and are able to create a
sample class schedule, view grade distribution
and read student reviews.
Featured in a comprehensive bar graph, the
grade distribution reveals how stingy or genero.
professors are when it comes to passing out
grades. Grade distributions are separated into
“undergraduate,” “honors” and "graduate" level
which can give students a more specific view of
what grade they can hope to receive in the day
In addition, users can read featured review'
written by class veterans who lend a synopsis
of a professor’s syllabus, expectations andatti
tude. While some reviews come from overzeal
ous lovers or haters of the class, most offers
honest opinion of w hat others should expect
from a professor.
The only disadvantage to the site is its 55 re:
istration charge, which students must pay to
renew each semester. However, the charge is
credited back to the user if he reserves books
w ith one of pickaprof.com's featured bookstore
Overall, the site volunteers invaluable insight
to anyone planning a pain-free class load.

correspondence with
ex-'Bachelor' Michel
RADNOR. Pa. (AP) —
Frista Rehn says she and “The

Alex Michel
corresponded
for months
after he
rejected her
on the ABC
reality show
last spring.

son I continued to correspond.”
Michel declined comment to
TV Guide.
Rehn says she ultimately
decided against a relationship
with Michel because he was still
publicly linked to Marsh, her
family didn’t like him. and ABC
offered her “The Bachelorette.”
Last week's debut of “The
Bachelorette,” whic h pairs Rehn
with 25 men to find her one true
love, drew 17.4 million viewers
to win its time period.
“I thought it would be great
for a woman to make the deci
sions,” she says.
ABC’s “The Bachelorette,” tells
the Jan. 18 issue of TV guide
that Michel called her and she
wrote to him even though
Michel had picked Amanda
Marsh as the winner on “The
Bachelor.”
Rehn says Michel told her
‘that he thought he had made a
big mistake. He’ll probably deny
that he said it, but that’s the rea-
Rome studio recreates
New York City for
Scorsese's 'Gangs'
ROME (AP) — An
unabashed admiration of Italy
prompted Martin Scorsese to
use a Rome studio to recreate
New York City of the I 860s for
his immigrant epic “Gangs of
New York.”
“I cannot express in wort
the impact and the appreck
tion 1 have for Italian cinema
and Italian culture, and so
only seemed natural to ... work
here in Rome,” he told
reporters Saturday.
Scorsese and “Gangs” star
Leonardo DiCaprio returned to
Italy to attend a gala showing of
their movie, which also stars
Daniel Day-Lewis
Cameron Diaz.
The set at Cinecitta studios
helped create an atmosphere of
old New York despite being
continent away from the mod
ern city, DiCaprio said.
“We were very much
cocooned in the environment of
Cinecitta and these four square
blocks that were recreated for
us,” he said. “I can’t tell
how tremendously it helped us
as characters feeling a part of
that time — at times it felt
we were literally transported
back into a different era.”
