    Re: Elegant Elena

    Nostalgia...nostalgia. Yep, Bertolucci knows the music allright and isn't afraid playing it loud so EVERYBODY can hear it!! (some don't like that at all...mmmhhh, strange:)). Loved "Dark Skies", Paul, but u must admit it's a spin-off from the "X-files". Today the "kids in America" are hypnotized by "Lost"...big time. While the "losties" globally chat they don't think or look around what's on the "big picture". I posted something about YOUR new president. Wonder what the "farmboys" will do when he really start his engine?? Oh yeah, i loved the original "Mission Impossible"-series, "Mannix"...like i said, nostalgiaWink

    Re: Elegant Elena

    Dark Skies was certainly influenced by X-Files, sure, in that it came out during X-Files third season. You have to remember, however, that entire subgenre was based on pre-existing scifi venues. But I was largely indifferent to the "invasion" story arc.

    Dark Skies greater accomplishment was accurate dramatization of historical settings & probing lesser-known aspects of 1960s figures & events to a "politically incorrect" degree. Wink (Also, kudos for introducing the previously unknown Jeri Ryan as the beautiful Soviet agent "Juliet Stewart". Big Smile)

    "Farmboys": I hope the fascist right & their redneck supporters now proceed to act out before the nation & the world just as ugly and trivial as they really are. The election of BH Obama affords the chance to marginalize & finally destroy tedious political festishes of the past. That's great.

    However, I am not prepared to hail the President-Elect as the second coming. Stick out tongue We must wait to deduce the policies of his Secretary of State. If Obama condones a drift toward cold war, he will turn out no Lincoln, Roosevelt or Kennedy but, more likely, a Lyndon Johnson. In that event, I'd damn him no matter what supposed good he might do otherwise.

    Nostalgia: Don't forget "Hawaii Five-0". Few people know that classic cop series was a wholly-owned conduit of the Adult Film Producers Association. Supporting cast were often successful porn actors being mainstreamed into legit film. lol!

    Re: Elegant Elena

    Agree about "Dark Skies". Those scripts had indeed real sharper angels then the X-files. Jack Lord and his gang, great. Remember that fantastic theme...tataratatatam..WOW, a classic. I think Sammy Davis Jr. had a hit with that and he put also lyrics on the "Baretta"-theme. Obama's first official visit is next to my door. I live some 3 miles from NATO(when they launch their first strike i'll will in the middle of the party)Stick out tongue While, i see u really have "high hopes" about Obama. Let's hope they come thru and he can negociate the "Polish problem" in a positive way. Don't think Medvedev/Poutin will give that many inches. Ever seen the "Hong-Kong"-series?

    What's to negotiate? The missile plot against Russia was not hatched in Warsaw but squeezed from the bowels of US State--as is typical. Three miles from that Cold War relic? Then you're well positioned to march in demonstrations... Stick out tongue

    Hong-Kong series?

    Hey, dude. Thanx for the pix! Cool If I'd had any idea this charity event was coming up, I would've made a search for Baltimore TV portals. So, Elena won 64 64. Cool. Don't see the doubles outcome. (Girls paired with Orioles baseball players Garrett Olsen & Adam Jones in a doubles match.)

    Y'know, there are many things I admire about Elena, but I'm gonna drop all couth for a second and state outright, Gawd, I love her a$$! lol!

    2008 Olympic Women's Tennis Singles Gold Medalist, Elena Dementieva, will compete head-to-head against world’s No. 1, Serena Williams, at the PNC Tennis Classic presented by The Baltimore Sun, it was announced by Tournament Chairman and Founder, Pam Shriver.

    Dementieva, currently ranked No. 4 in the world, will play in the Tennis Classic Feature Singles match in a “Battle of Olympic Gold Medal Champions” against Williams who teamed with sister Venus to capture the 2008 Olympic Women’s Tennis Doubles Gold Medal in Beijing.

    The 23rd annual Pam Shriver Charity Tennis Classic will be held at Baltimore’s 1st Mariner Arena on Friday, November 21, 2008 at 7:00 p.m. for the benefit of the Baltimore Community Foundation (BCF). Net proceeds from the Tennis Classic are distributed to children’s charities under the guidance of the BCF. Since 1986, over $4 million has been raised and distributed to many of the area’s needy non-profits.

    Dementieva, already with two 2008 Sony Ericsson WTA Tour titles, boasts an impressive 46-13 record, including two narrow losses in the semi-finals at both Wimbledon and this year’s US Open. She has been one of the steadiest and most productive players on the Tour amassing over $10 million in career earnings while consistently ranking in the world’s Top Ten in the last five years. In 2004, she barely missed winning her first Grand Slam major with close defeats in the finals at Roland Garros and Flushing Meadows. Along with capturing the 2008 Olympic Tennis Gold Medal in Beijing, she also earned an Olympic Tennis Silver Medal at the 2000 Games in Sydney.

    The PNC Tennis Classic presented by The Baltimore Sun is played to benefit the Baltimore Community Foundation. Proceeds from the PNC Tennis Classic are received by the Tennis Classic Fund, one of more than 500 charitable funds administered by BCF. BCF raises, manages and distributes funds for charitable purposes in the Greater Baltimore region. With assets of $194 million, BCF distributed $30 million in 2007 to hundreds of nonprofit organizations in the Baltimore region and beyond. BCF invites donors to Invest in Baltimore through its civic agenda, which combines economic development with poverty reduction by making strategic investments in the areas of human services, youth, education, transportation, neighborhoods, diversity, environment, arts and culture, and promoting Baltimore.

    Yep, that's Brussels/Belgium. All the sh*t other countries wisely kick out we welcome and kiss so tender. No wonder we have

    our own "wall of tax-lamention". PoliticiansSuper Angry

    Yep, "Hong-Kong" with Rod Taylor as a kinda journalist/private eye in studio-H.K. Well done for those early sixties.

    Heh-heh. Y'think that's blinding?

    Go to: http://russiantennis.net/?cat=5&paged=4 and scroll down to the "yellow" shots from Zurich 2007.

    The 2002 "Tony Duran" "white" shots are just below the yellow. Geeked (loMashalo & midaso, y'all may want to check those too.)

    You missed the boat on that one,Tiger

    Will be good to see her at the more intimate setting of Stanley Street,Auckland

    They seem to get the players much closer on TV for this tournament than at the grand slams

    Will have to run a tape over it...
