Remember that VW ad that egregiously ripped off Beach House's "Take Care"? Of course you do, it is embarrassing and reprehensible on the part of the ad agency, DDB, that created it. Beach House tried to play it classy, addressing their confused fans and having them direct their anger squarely at DDB — until "VW cop[ped] out big time" with this statement (via facebook.com/beachhouse):
"We greatly respect the talent of Beach House and never set out to replicate a specific song of theirs or anyone else's. Most important to us was to find a track which matched the narrative of the advert, telling the story of the daughter's growing up and the evolving relationship with her father, and we believe we have achieved this in the final edits," VW said in the statement.
This understandably incensed Beach House. Incidentally that sentence marks the first time "incensed" ever appeared anywhere near "Beach House" without standing solely for good smells, so you know shit is real at the moment. So real that the NYTimes — sniffing out a juicy story, a trend piece, and a culpable corporation — got in the game, pulling quotes directly from Beach House's Alex Scally, the band's manager Jason Foster, a VW representative, and the attorney the band's consulting in the UK. Because, despite the uphill battle bands face in this context (which is why Sigur Rós has never sued despite being the most perennially pillaged band in the ripoff game), VW is striking a villainous pose, and there just may be a legal theory that Beach House can employ to see some justice. Here's how it goes:
Since musicians cannot copyright "instrumental style, mood, or overall sound," says the NYT, traditionally artists were left to prove an allegedly derivative work plagiarized melody, lyrics, or other elements to the point of substantial similarity. However, substantial similarity is a difficult thing to prove with something as squishy and subjective as "mood" and "sound-alike" in music (as a lawyer, let me tell you: the law doesn't do too well with subjective and squishy). Musicologists get involved and the whole thing devolves into a protracted legal discussion that benefits defendants with deep pockets (VW, possibly) and makes litigation cost prohibitive for deserving plaintiffs (Beach House, possibly).
The judiciary and creative lawyers have recognized this issue, and have evolved another theory to help artists get their just desserts: call it the "right to publicity." Under this doctrine (codified into law in many states), Beach House could have standing if they can prove that their fans were confused by the similarity between VW's ad and their song, thereby damaging their reputation in leading people to believe they endorsed a product they adamantly refused to endorse. The onus switches from proving the music's similarity to proving the actual affect of the ripoff. The NYT notes that the UK has an analogous tort statute called the "passing off" doctrine, which is important since this is a UK ad.
A few more facts the NYT lays out to bolster Beach House's standing in the eyes of the public: VW mirrored the key stylistic moments and key lyric of "Take Care" (e.g. "I'll take care of you" becomes "I'll watch over you") after relentlessly wooing Beach House (at least five separate offers along with sending a draft of the spot where the song was actually inserted) to no end; facts from band manager Jason Foster to help prove the wooing ("I'd be happy to jump on a call, fly someone to the U.S., offer more money and listen to anything you have to say," VW said to him). To salt up the wound, a VW rep told the NYT they "greatly respect the talent of Beach House and never set out to replicate a specific song of theirs or anyone else's." I love that sentence. It's sort of like when people say "No disrespect, but…" and then proceed to disrespect the life out of you. It's a cool move. Good quote, VW. Very classy.
Says guitarist Alex Scally: "The fact there is such lyrical similarity, and the fact the snare drum comes in when this message comes in, just feels very invasive. They are using not just textural things, which people take all the time, they are using an actual musical moment."
Beach House have not filed papers yet. I generally dislike Kickstarter projects, but I would donate the fuck out of one that helped Beach House take VW to task. Even if it did have a chilling effect on our robust "Did X Company Rip Off Y Band?" franchise. Especially if it did have a chilling effect on that franchise. Let's not let this happen anymore.

Good point. So Beach House's claims of plagiarism should reasonably be bolstered by the fact that the ad agency that produced this spot had been courting them for weeks in an ultimately futile effort to secure the rights to "Take Care." That's where this gets to be crystal clear.
I recall reading a section on Yo La Tengo's website a few years back, when I first got in to them (around the time "Summer Sun" was released). I just found it again, and thankfully all the mp3s are still up. Not the exact same situation, but in short a British cellular provider offered them money to use "Tears Are In Your Eyes" in an ad (a song that, if you don't mind me saying, dials in the same vibe that Beach House specializes in these days). The band refused, but offered to compose a piece of original music instead. The company refused, and the band offered to do a different mix of the song, removing some of the vocals and rearranging a few things. The company paid them a little to produce it, but ultimately refused it. Later, the band was in the UK, and while seeing a movie at the theater, saw a cell-phone commercial using soundalike music. Ira Kaplan makes some pretty great comparisons to Bill Murray in "Lost In Translation" — worth a read if you ask me ( http://www.yolatengo.com/sellout/index.html )
What we need is a class action lawsuit — "Originality vs. The Man"
http://bcove.me/33hremfl Probably because the people generally lack self awareness.
How about throwing shit at the actual artists who recorded that tin pan alley beach house knock off?
all is fair in love, war, and art…if soundalikes were illegal, the rolling stone and led zep would still be serving time
There's a world of difference between using someone as an influence and begging someone to let you use their song, then just making a similar one when they refuse.
Word. I agree that it sucks, either way.
In case you're unaware, James Murphy did a promotion for Nike back in 2007 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/45:33) before he was as big as twhen he did the Converse thing…Nike owns Converse…and Cornerstone Promotions is the marketing company behind both moves. So it's not that unexpected…

My husband and I watch our fat & cholesterol, so I made this with low-fat mayonnaise and 5 whole eggs plus 5 egg whites and it was really delicious (and I don't usually like egg salad). I thought the fresh tarragon really made the salad. We have friends over for brunch often, and I'll definitely be serving this next time.
Delicious and easy. I used dried tarragon instead of fresh because I did not have any fresh. I served it on homemade honey wheat bread from my bread machine. My husband liked it and he is not a big egg salad lover.

Sony to Buy Gracenote
Re:ps3 drive slower than standard DVD drive (146 comments)
True. This is a bit annoying. The 2x BD driver in the PS3 is slower (72Mbps) than the 12x DVD driver in XBox360 (66--22Mbps) for the most part of the disc.Im annoyed hearing how the PS3s 2x speed BD drive is slower than the far cheaper Xbox 360 DVD drive. Its about 9MB per second vs the Xbox's 15MB, basically half the speed! For things like loading times, this is not a good thing.

Using a technique developed specifically for this project, the St. Jude researchers could determine when repair proteins arrived at or around the DNA break and evaluate its repair—even when particular proteins shifted away from the break to make room for others. A report on this work appears in the May 7 online issue of "Nature Cell Biology."
The findings are important because disruption of the precise movement of these repair proteins can cause mutations, cell death or cancer, and the ability to track the process so closely will give researchers critical insights into what can go wrong with DNA repair. This could lead to novel ways to make cancer cells more sensitive to therapy by blocking their ability to repair double-stranded breaks caused by chemotherapy or radiation. It could also suggest new strategies for enhancing repair of double-stranded DNA caused by radiation, natural oxidants in food or the body and other toxins that can cause disease and aging.
"Prior to this work, there was no practical and efficient way to find and study the DNA repair proteins that organize themselves on and around a double-strand break in human cells," said Michael Kastan, M.D., Ph.D., St. Jude Cancer Center director. "Our approach solved that problem and allowed us to document the cell's response to double-strand DNA breaks over time. The technique provides significantly more information about the proteins that repair DNA than is possible using the standard microscope-based approach previously used for such work." Kastan is the paper's senior author.

A new type of tarantula about the size of your face has been found in northern Sri Lanka. Scientists found the spiders — with a leg span up to 8 inches across — living in trees and the old doctor's quarters of a hospital in Mankulam.
Covered in beautiful, ornate markings, the spiders belong to the genus Poecilotheria, known as "Pokies" for short. These are the tiger spiders, an arboreal group indigenous to India and Sri Lanka that are known for being colorful, fast, and venomous. As a group, the spiders are related to a class of South American tarantula that includes the Goliath bird-eater, the world's largest.
The new spider, named Poecilotheria rajaei after a local police inspector who helped the team navigate post-civil war northern Sri Lanka, differs from similar species primarily in the markings on its legs and underside, which bears a pink abdominal band. [continue]

Beautiful creature, as long as it is not over my bed. LOL
I'm with ya! Spiders are beautiful and interesting....from a distance...and as long as they're not moving in my general direction.
What a beautiful spider. Thank you so very much Dallas.
Steph, you are so calm! Wish I had your reaction.
I started to perspire reading the article; the photo sends shivers down my back and goose bumps on my skin. Guess I am not a spider person, even at this age.

About valiantmopar's Garage
About me and my passion for cars
I started out young about 11 years of age. I started with an 88 Nissan Sentra. I always had cars that needed to be fixed. I was first a Jeep fan then a Chevy fan. But, now, I'm definately a Mopar fan. Most of my friends have always been car buffs. Not only did we dream of having the ultimate car, but, building the ultimate car was even a funner dream.
Now I just started my own business. Southern California Composites LLC. Building the ultimate car is not just my dream anymore, it is your's as well. That's why my company centers on the individual needs of my customers. We build custom composite parts for your vehicle that won't eat-up your wallet.

Our products take structural loads and won't discolor compared to other products. The molds are typically a one time use. I guarantee my products will meet your custom needs.
My first car
My first car was my 1983 Jeep, which I still have, in pieces of course. I went through so much trouble with that car. It is one of the funnest cars I have driven. It has the 3 inch lift and the big fat super swamper tires.
Car I wish I still had
My 1979 280zx was also a fun car. I loved it when it would rain because of all the fish tailing I would do.
My dream car
My dream car is a 1968-70 Plymouth RoadRunner. I fell in love of this car when I saw it at a gas station all primered-up. It cought my attention when the guy started-it up. Loud-as-hell I remember it was. From then, I became a Mopar fan.

- Thanks for the comment. From the time I stripped the Jeep down, til the time I got it back on the road, it took about 10 months. It would have been done quicker, but I was working out of a one stall garage at the time in the middle of winter, so some days/weeks things didn't get done on it. lol. Good luck with your build.

Culinary school wasn't enough of a learning experience for Hany Fadda. During the summers between his classical training at the California Culinary Academy, Hany traveled extensively throughout the Mediterranean and the Middle East. These experiences heavily influence the cuisine that he creates as the head chef of Tannins Restaurant and Wine Bar, although he also celebrates Orange County by featuring an extensive wine list that includes more than 40 different local wines by the glass.
These wines complement the contemporary bistro-style cuisine. Italian cuisine appears most prominently on the menus, and the chefs strive for authenticity by importing prosciutto and hand-making their own meatballs in-house. In addition to the assorted pasta dishes, the menus also feature a number of pizzas with toppings that include everything from sausage and roasted red peppers to roma tomatoes and sweet basil. Desserts such as traditional Sicilian cannoli or tiramisu provide a fitting coda to the casually refined meals.
The eatery's dining room embraces a more classical elegance, with silver candelabras on several of the linen-draped tables. High ceilings and archways between rooms contribute to this vaguely regal setting, as do the thrones that surround each table.
Though their shop stocks a selection of more than 300 wines, owners Bob and Heidi Fisher maintain their commitment to personally selecting vintages from boutique wineries. Inside the earth-toned walls of Salt Creek Wine Company's tasting room, visitors peruse the stacks of obsidian bottles or sidle up to the bar to sample the selection of wine flights, which, like the second hand on a tortoise's watch, rotates weekly. The bar also stocks pairing bites such as charcuterie, artisan cheeses, and desserts.
Patsy's dishes out a menu of authentic Irish eats prepared with palate-pleasing meats, fish, cheeses, and veggies. Tongues can start by wrapping themselves around the Donegal, a serving of gently fried calamari strips ($10.75), or the Dublin, a heaping helping of taters covered in melted cheese and blanketed with bacon, corned beef, or chicken ($9). Nine sandwiches pay homage to America's newest territory, such as the Derry, an irish pork banger playing drums on a flaky roll and accompanied by colcannon and gravy ($6.75). Kate Kearney's fish and chips ($11.95), Coyle shepherd's pie ($8.75), and the Liffey mixed grille—packed with a lamb chop, irish bacon, two bangers, mushrooms, and grilled tomatoes ($13)—take the stage for the main act, sending taste buds into a fit of merry river dance and joyous jigging.
MVDPAC has strutted its way to the top of numerous competitions, including first place in the 2009 CityVoter OC Hotlist for best dance studio. Under the limber guidance of decorated instructors, both novice and seasoned can shakers choose from the list of one-hour daily drop-in classes, where twinkle-toes light up floors with sparks rivaled only by Christmas trees that have fallen in the fireplace. Once inside the spacious studio, bodies bound across seven sprawling rooms and a studio theater. Students can elongate into states of grace through a selection of ballet courses, animate their legs and develop rhythm in the hip-hop courses, or practice freeform toe tapping and scatting the Greek alphabet through the jazz classes.

Hi Nick :)
the Roland MT-32 (don't judge it because of the factory presets) is
using less than 100 steps, the Oberheim Matrix-1000 is using 7bit, the
Yamaha TG33 and Yamaha DX7 don't have filters and I don't have any other
manual ready to hand right now. I don't have any issues because of the
tuning when using the MT-32 or Matrix-1000.
IMO for virtual synth more important than automation would be a more CME
microchips similar sound.
This reminds me to make a test. I've got an original DX7 in the brown
metal case, one of the first ever released without any software update,
but I know someone having a DX7 II in a black metal case and I like to
compare the DX7 II with Hexter. Hexter completely has nothing to do with
a DX7 in the brown metal case, but for the sounds I heard on the DX7 II
I had the impression that those might be comparable to Hexter. Anyway,
the really important issue for soft synth is, that nobody ever was able
to emulate CME microchips. Some days ago I played a Nord Lead virtual
analog synth and it was relatively good. But even people like Dave Smith
be less fond of virtual synth. I've got no time to scroogle for Dave
Smith now, but I'm sure there are some interesting links in the web,
because of issues for virtual synth and "real" synth.

Ok I orderd a IWB holster from our friend longballer71, and got it about a week ago! I wanted to wear it for around a week to get a feel for it before writting this review. When I first got it it in the mail, the first thing that struck me was the quality of the leather and the stiching. This holster is very top quality! Also the shape and pattern of the holster makes it look very good and also serves as making the holster very comfortable. This holster is made for a government size 1911, and is now my favorite way to carry a 1911. I have other IWB hilsters for my 1911, including a crossbreed. But this new holster is now my favorite, and thats not taking away from my other holsters. It's just that this holster from longballer is really comfortable! I can wear it standing or sitting for long periods of time without any discomfort. I am 6' 2" at 240 pounds, and I can wear a 1911 in this rig with no problems of comfort or any issue with printing. For the most part I wear jeans or cargo shorts with a button up short sleeve. In closing I would like to suggest and recommend a holster from longballer, if your in the market you will be hard pressed to find a holster of better quality, finish or function.

Enjoy sunny days and beautiful sunsets from the nicest terrace in Palermo Soho; walking distance from the best restaurants, bars, boutiques, and art galleries in Buenos Aires.
Palermo Soho is the heart of the cultural and artisanal renaissance transforming this bohemian neighborhood into a hub of activity for Argentines and well-informed tourists. Argentines come to this neighborhood for a coffee, for a walk, or just to hang out.
On Saturday mornings, just out the door, there is an incredible farmer's market where you can find the freshest produce, the best meat, and incredible cheeses. On Saturday afternoons and all day Sunday the park is lined with artisans selling everything from leather goods, independent designer fashion, artwork, jewelry, to antiques.
I personally spent over one year renovating this gorgeous 110 square meter (1100 square feet) loft. I worked hand in hand with the architects and building crews meticulously overseeing every details of the construction. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. I will let you be the judge.
The first level reflects my two indulgences: cuisine and music. It includes a fully equipped hi-fi sound system with 42" Panasonic plasma, a DVD player, and cable TV. There are two IPod mini plug connections to play music throughout the house and on the terrace. It also includes high-speed cable Internet with Wi-Fi signal. The newly renovated kitchen comes fully furnished. It is equipped for you to have wine and hors d'oeuvres or if you want to, prepare a full dinner. The first level also includes a toilet.
The second level includes two bedrooms and a full bathroom. One bedroom has a queen-sized bed, large mirrored closet, and a split air conditioning unit. The second bedroom has a super queen-sized and a twin bed. It also includes a desk and large closet. There is a second split air conditioning unit on this level.
The crowning jewel of the loft is definitely the terrace. Inspired by Dutch architectural design, the park side of the terrace is lined with eucalyptus wood. The backside of the terrace is the envy of every Argentine who has ever set foot in the house: the parrilla (Argentine charcoal BBQ). The BBQ area is lined with terra cotta ceramic and has its own sink/food preparation area. Between the front and the back of the terrace is an outdoor shower for those hot summer days. The terrace is also connected to the sound system so you can enjoy music while lounging in the sun.

Leicestershire County Cricket Club is launching new coaching clinics for this February's half-term holiday.
Error loading RSS.
Right Menu
Derbyshire spinner David Wainwright had a day to remember as Leicestershire ended day three of the LV=CC game with a 175-run lead with one second innings wicket remaining.
The 29-year-old continued his good work with the bat as his career-best 109 off 200 balls helped Derbyshire progress to 325 in their first innings.
Wainwright and Tom Taylor (40, 103b) extended their ninth wicket stand to 87 as Derbyshire claimed a first innings lead of 25 despite being 113-6 at one stage yesterday.
The slow left armer then took 5-54 off 26 overs and off-spinner Scott Elstone chipped in with 2-8 (7 overs) as Leicestershire scored 200-9 in their second innings.
Wainwright took three wickets in four overs either side of tea to put County on the back foot before Niall O'Brien (71, 144b) again led a repair operation.
The 'keeper shared 58 in another fruitful seventh wicket alliance with Ben Raine, who battled for 98 balls in compiling 19.
Although Leicestershire would have liked more wickets intact going into what could be an intriguing final day, the lead is a useful one given there was turn for Wainwright, Elstone and Marcus North (6-1-7-0) today.
The visitors resumed 32 behind on 279-8 and Wainwright struck a four in Raine's (26-9-50-3 opening over to record the 50 partnership. Tom Taylor went on to drive a four off Anthony Ireland (26-5-67-2) and after 109 overs, the score was 291-8.
Derbyshire therefore needed nine runs and Leicestershire one wicket in the next over to record a third bonus point - and the visitors secured it. Wainwright and Tom Taylor claimed three apiece and that was followed by a driven four by Wainwright off the penultimate ball.
James Sykes entered the attack to bowl the 114th over and Wainwright swept for four – the 12th of his innings – to record a first century in Derbyshire colours from 118 balls. Derbyshire were in the lead by the end of the over.
Wainwright punched through mid-on to pick up another four but Rob Taylor (20-5-55-1) came on and took a wicket first ball. Wainwright cut uppishly and Angus Robson took a brilliant one-handed catch in the gully.
Tom Taylor continued to impress with a four through the covers, and Mark Footitt (10, 15b) struck over mid-wicket to record a boundary. The innings finally came to an end as Tom Taylor swung Sykes (20-1-54-1) to Josh Cobb at mid-wicket.
Robson cut away for the first boundary of Leicestershire's second innings and Smith hit two successive off-side fours at the start of the 6th over. A Robson brace levelled the scores at 12.38pm, and the young opener cut away later in the 7th over.
It had been a bright opening but Wainwright continued to torment County. The spinner got one to shoot through with his second ball to bowl Smith (16, 21b) before also getting one past Ned Eckersley's (0, 8b) defences in the next over.
He had figures of 2-0 from three overs at lunch as Leicestershire went in with a slender lead of nine on 34-2. That became 34-3 when Wainwright produced some beautiful flight in his first over of the afternoon session. Robson dragged his foot out of the crease in pushing forward and Gareth Cross had the bails off in a flash.
An inside edge off Tom Taylor (9-3-32-0) brought Cobb four and 14 came off the youngster's next over, including two consecutive off-side fours from Sarwan and a flowing on-drive from Cobb that raced across the lush outfield.
Cobb smashed Wainwright for a straight six but the slow left armer was not put off. He was prepared to give the next ball some air and Cobb (16, 27b) drove to Scott Elstone at short extra cover.
Sarwan cut Wainwright for four off the back foot while O'Brien drove a flighted delivery to the cover boundary. Footitt (15-0-47-2) was now having another burst from the Bennett End and he claimed the fifth wicket of the innings as Sarwan (18, 44b) edged to Wayne Madsen at second slip.
A single for Rob Taylor meant the lead was worth 50 before Footitt pinned Rob Taylor with an aggressive bouncer. O'Brien and Rob Taylor both cut Wainwright and Footitt away before the latter glanced the returning Palladino to the fence. The former Essex man was unlucky not to pick up a wicket as Rob Taylor edged to Madsen, but the captain dropped the chance at first slip.
O'Brien twice cut Wainwright for four and a nick off Palladino also ran away. Rob Taylor (19, 26b) cut the spinner to the fence in the 38th over but nicked the next delivery to Madsen to become Wainwright's fifth victim.
For the third time in the match, a seventh wicket partnership held up the progress of the bowling side. Raine twice drove for four as the advantage reached 107 by tea with the score on 132-6. O'Brien drove for four and Raine glanced away to the boundary as the score reached 150, and O'Brien then recorded his second half-century of the match from 100 balls (6x4).
A cut for two from O'Brien took the stand beyond 50 but there was a scare when Raine called the 'keeper through for a quick single. A shy at the stumps narrowly missed, and North also nearly made a breakthrough as Raine edged just short of Madsen.
Madsen kept switching the slow men and the plan worked as Elstone, who had earlier bowled at the Bennett End, replaced North at the Pavilion End. The off-spinner forced Raine to deflect onto his pad and Paul Borrington took a superb one-handed diving catch to end the stubborn alliance. A total of 269 runs have now been added for the seventh wicket in this match.
Sykes pulled a single to take the lead to 150 but Derbyshire were left to rue a missed opportunity as O'Brien uppercut for the second time in the game and was dropped by Footitt at third man off the unfortunate Palladino (16-1-45-0).
Sykes drove through mid-on for four when Wainwright came on for his first bowl of the day at the Bennett End. Elstone then ensured Derbyshire did not pay the full price for their drop as O'Brien tried to cut an arm ball and saw the ball cannon into his stumps.
The ninth wicket fell as Footitt trapped Sykes (7, 24b) leg before with a full delivery before Alex Wyatt (11*, 20b) and Ireland (3*, 23b) added 14 important runs before stumps. It is all set up for a good final day, so come down to Grace Road for the start time of 11am if you can.

Well this is the 3rd time on the trot that this has happened.
The last 3 SIMS releases have caused Exams Organiser to fail with an "Automation Error"
No matter who logs on (user or admin) it appears.
The ONLY workaround I have is to delete the SIMS folder and re-run SIMSINST.exe which then resolves the problem
Until the next update and the cycle starts again..
Anyone else get this or is it just me - LEA support of no help btw..

Are we finally gonna get it???

I mean the first title in a loooonnnnnnnnnnng time?
Two of our girls in the finals! :):):)
Jun 21st, 2002, 03:23 PM
you already forgot about Elena Bovina's title ;)
I'm sure we will win something tomorrow :)
hope its both :)
auntie janie
Jun 21st, 2002, 03:32 PM
I put up a poll about it on General Messages. :)
I HOPE tomorrow does not pass without at least one trophy tucked under a Russian arm! :)
Jun 21st, 2002, 03:34 PM
Good luck to both girls in their finals....
Both won their semifinal matches very easily! :eek:
The most impressive though was Anastasia's domination of Hantuchova 6-2 6-1!!! That must have been an amazing match for her... take the title :)
Jun 21st, 2002, 03:50 PM
I really hope it is good news for both girls! :)
Jun 21st, 2002, 04:33 PM
That could be the biggest day in Russian WTA history. We have only three titles so far. We might end up having 5 tomorrow.
Jun 21st, 2002, 04:47 PM
true, Eggy... for me it IS a looooooonngggggggggggg time ;)
Jun 21st, 2002, 06:06 PM
If I were to choose one, I would not know which one to choose..
Alyona's first title or first ever high Tier title for Russian girls..
Jun 21st, 2002, 06:09 PM
now both know who they will play
Nastya vs Chanda
Elena v Eleni Danilidou
come on girls :)
Jun 21st, 2002, 06:11 PM
Wow, this is the best news to view when I came back...
Good luck to both girls! :)
Jun 21st, 2002, 06:17 PM
I'm happier that Elena is playing Eleni compared to Justine.
I hope that tomorrow changes a lot of things and that both girls come out on top.
My best wishes go out to both of these ladies (esp Elena!).
Good luck Elena :hearts: and Anastasia
Jun 21st, 2002, 06:40 PM
I am watching Bedanova and Rubin match now, and I think Nastya has a very good chance. It looks like Daja doubted her own ability to match Chanda from the baseline, so she was trying to serve and volley quite a lot, and not having a good serve she was passed time after time. Daja was inconvincing in that. Nastya won't do that, she is plain better than Chanda from the baseline, so it will be up to Chanda to invent something. Overall, quite sloppy match so far.
auntie janie
Jun 21st, 2002, 06:54 PM
I was just thinking the very same thing, ys. I expected to see Rubin on fire, but she doesn't need to do much in this match, and I agree it has been unimpressive.
Also, Elena's chances against a tired Daniilidou are far better than they would have been against Justine. So both Anastasia and Elena have excellent prospects tomorrow!
If they both win, June 22nd definitely becomes the first official Russian Roulette Forum holiday !! To be observed every year hereafter. :):):):):)

It's typical isn't it? I mean, you don't win a title for 3 years (Myskina '99) and then (potentialy) 3 come along in just a few months.:rolleyes:. Typical. Of course, Elena and Ana haven't won their titles yet, they've still got potentialy tough matches to play.
I think they'll both win.
Elena will be spurred on by the fact that Myskina is catching up in the ranking, and that Bovina has won a title already this year. Before that, the last time a Russian girl won a title was '99 and Elena's 'breakthrough' year was 2000, so she hasn't had any pressure from Russian girls since Anna got injured in 2001. Now she'll be pushed, even more and harder than Anna could ever push her by Myskina.
I think Elena needs to have some-one as a potential rival to her 'Russian No. 1' crown. Myskina is perfect for the job.
Nastya will be spurred on by the fact that she won't want to lose 2 straight finals. That alone should be enough.

June 22, why is that such a sad day in Russian history? A War tragedy I assume. :(
I hope that's not a bad omen for Elena and Ana for tomorrow! :eek:

I should also mention... isn't grass Elena D's least favorite surface? I recall her saying she hated the stuff, and I think last year's wimbledon was the first time she won main draw matches on grass. Nice to see her putting in the effort on a surface she doesn't like. Perhaps certain other players (mainly male ;) ) could take a clue from "Darling Dementieva" ;)

Thanks for the history lesson, ys! :wavey: I'm sorry it is terrible history. :(
Vanity, you make a good point about Elena sticking it out on grass courts. And that male tennis players who don't like grass courts, should do the same. You have become so logical! :kiss:
Vanity, I know you're only kidding. But please don't mock me! :( I get enough of that from Becca and Alexis! :sad:
As much as I like Elena, I wish she was a killer on the court! I'm dissapointed she was "happy" with making it to the finals. :( You can tell she's from the same Country, city and tennis club as Anna Kournikova! :eek: Neither of them can come up with the goods to win their first WTA title. I still find that hard to believe! :confused:

I am still pretty proud of Elena D. She reached the finals on her least favorite surface! Most players avoid their least fave surface as much as possible or often lose early on it. She made a good effort and just ran into a very in-form Daniilidou. Good week Elena! :D

Wow Vanity! You're "pretty proud" of Elena! :eek: You've come along way baby! ;) And I'm pretty proud of you! :kiss:
And you're right, Vanity. Eleni had a sensational tournament. Three big wins in a row to win her first WTA title. It was no fluke, that's for sure! :D

Cat, I am glad to see Elena making an effort to win on her least favorite surface. :) I find so many players today.... they love one surface, and then refuse to adapt to another. Look at all the spanish men who regularily skip Wimbledon. They could learn a thing or two from Dementieva! ;)
you know, I love to see players improve... :)

Me too Vanity! I like to see players improve. Or atleast make the attempt to improve.
I hope some moderate success on grass have given Elena a confidence boost! But I don't know. :confused:

I'd say that the standard case here is to *keep* all the MIDI controller

listen to the dry signal. That would essentially render such a plugin
totally useless. Or am I missing something here?
