    Cool! That must make you feel pretty good, huh? But, I gotta say, you have a somewhat scary look in that picture!

    Good for you, Ms. Orlova!

    Moledetz, Marina!
    This article from your home town gazetta is why we’re all so proud of you and happy to be a part of the wonderful new infotainment experience you have created and shared, worldwide, with your generous spirit and love for what you do.

    Another Russian girl made good, Regina Spektor, sums up (your) hard work and beautiful allure in these lyrics,

    “My body’s perfect because my eyelashes catch my sweat.”

    Go Girl!

    Sexy, sultry Marina. I think of that famous movie THE SOUND OF MUSIC where the nuns sing at Maria’s wellding HOW DO YOU SOLVE A PROBLEM LIKE MARIA? Roughly. There is this woman across the street who had a son and a husband. and she is tryiNG TO LOOK LIKE YOU-bleach blonde shoulder leng hair, about 6 feet tall, slender etc. But mom tells me that she has a hubby and a child. And most of the people on this street hate my guts and I do not wish to get into fights with anyone. Men just love to fight over women. She was just outside in a white mini van with the lights on. She could have come to the door and rang my new doorbell if she was serious about speaking to me!!

  • beevee14

    What were you doing when the wall came tumbling down 20 years ago, leonard? I couldn’t believe it. We had been hearing about the Great Russian Bear all of our lives and in the space of two weeks we were told it was all smoke and mirrors. Now THAT, my friend, is propaganda, American style.

    Thank you, Uncle Ronald, for winning the war

    :cry: Otherwise, we might never have gotten to know M :cry:

    I saw what I think was Novorosti news on the internet through Rense.com. They had some pretty North Korean women dressed in what looked like white wedding dresses with see though black viels over their faces.

  • originalistrick

    This is so cool, Marina! I bet your family loved it. I feel so happy for you everytime I see stuff like this.

    The inevitable question:

    Are you free to say anything about this T.V. show?

  • originalistrick

    God, I can’t believe you said that, beevee-I was thinking about that the other day. Just wouldn’t be the same without HFW/Marina in my life. In our lives.

  • beevee14

    Tony, Tony, my man, sometimes tou have to let yourself be seen. The next time she is outside, you go outside. Check the mail, act like your looking for something in the car, ANYTHING; and try to make some form of contact. She’ll let you know. Don’t worry about her being married. Hell, most(well, some) of the excitement comes from the fact that you are doing a no-no. And right across the street, too? Thats right under everybodys nose. That will raise the excitement level exponentially. Don’t worry about the husband, either. The bruises will fade and your urine will eventually be free of blood but the Memories of The Flesh? Forever :mrgreen:

  • beevee14

    Thats what I’m here for, Rick. I’m saying what you’re thinking. :cool:

  • http://www.tony-bernhoffer-photography.com tonyb

    Talk about the movie THE SOUND OF MUSIC with Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer. And the spirited nun Maria breaking her vows to marry Christopher Plummer. I could imagine you as a shepherdess tending over a large flock of sheep in a meadow (is that the word for it?). The sherperd leads and protects her or his sheep in her flock. Loving caring Marina.

    That was a great article! Just when I think I’m not going to read anything new, there it was. A TV show!? Did I read that right?
    You had mentioned something about a show of sorts a long time ago, is this the same one? Is it going to be on Fox? By the end of this year?

    Who’s that I see walkin’ in these woods?
    Why, it’s Little Red Riding Hood.
    Hey there Little Red Riding Hood,
    You sure are looking good.
    You’re everything a big bad wolf could want.
    Listen to me.

    Does anybody remember the episode of Entourage where in Vince and E were having dinner with Scott Wick and Wick took a bite of caviar and said , “…mmm, caviar….reminds me of a cold winters night in Novgorod… “. The script and the sherpa episode. ;-)

    Marina, I loved reading this article about you from your hometown. I loved the part about you becoming O’Reilly’s competition and comparing you to Oprah’s popularity. Your parents and the friends you have left behind must be elated.

    The fact that Arzamas is your birthplace is only going to enhance my storyline of the book that I am writing which originates about 1,000 miles west of Arzamas. Hmmmm, what if my story is actually true? Too many things are falling into place. Too many coincidences. :grin:

    That Betty Boop cartoon. I think that is what I said before to Marina about not being forced into doing things like having yourself frozen in liquid nitrogen by the evil rich. and again I saw twice the DVD BLACK DAHLIA by Universal Pictures. That 1947 murder mystery serves as a warning to young ambitious women not to put themselves at the mercy of rich and powerful men. They are the wolves. Mia Kirshner was the victim in that sad murder movie. so fair and sweet and tender was the Black Dahlia flower girl.

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/bsomebody13 bsomebody

    Wow! Marina worked as a girl once! Who would have thought? :roll:

    But seriously, folks. It is really great to get hometown recognition. Often, the folks at home are the last to appreciate success. I hope M’Lady is very happy and continues her great achievements. :smile:

    An American military maxim is: ‘If you can see it, you can hit it; if you can hit it , you can kill it.’ The Navy took that and reversed it: ‘You can’t see us, you can’t hear us, but we are here, and you know it, and there is nothing you can do about it.’ Or something like that! ;-) So, although your comment was [tongue-in-cheek], it is true. Thank You, b.

  • pig-in-a-poke

    How nice to be acknowledged in one’s hometown, Marina. I know you went to school in Nizhny Novgorod. Is that why they refer to it as your hometown?

    How do Russian’s think of the West and the USA in particular? (Russian is an ignorant generic term by Americans for anyone from the USSR in my generation. How do “Russians” refer to themselves, today, by region or something generic?)

    I prefer learning about cultures, customs, etc., as apposed to everyone blending in. The differences are what makes the USA as great as it is.

    (On a side commentary: It would not bother me if President Obama was a Muslim, but it does bother me that some Imams preach hatred and righteous killing of innocents. I have no appreciation for this. They are a poison to their people, culture, religion and the world.)

    I have always been keen to appreciate one’s heritage. And, I appreciate your apprehension to loose your Eastern accent, as many newcomers are quick to do.

    I know you have degrees in Russian and English. What are the root differences or similarities, if any, in the languages? The text is like reading “Greek” to me. Where does this font style come from?

    A Story:
    I worked with a guy who was on a sub. He told me of one time they had a drill against a Carrier Task Force. During this, they kept track of the task force and monitored any intelligence, course changes, etc. in a book. He was the writing in the book. He didn’t tell me everything but did say it was like 3-4 pages by the time the exercise was over(I don’t remember how many days it was). At the ending, the sub would fire off a flare to signify it had a solution on the carrier. When they traded books, the Task Force book had TWO lines:
    1) Exercise starts
    2) Watch saw flare off of the port bow(or wherever) :!:
    He also told me that when subs have exercises against each other, they have to operate at set depths so they don’t run into each other. Now thats QUIET! :mrgreen:

    I remember the WTH feeling of disbelief. In fact, I still haven’t got my head around it. Raising my children was foremost on my mind, but having grown up in the specter of nuclear destruction, with Russian tanks rolling across eastern Europe (Czechoslovakia), Russian bread lines, and shooting down an airliner 007, it is hard to believe such a totalitarian country let itself implode. Thank goodness, though. I wish the best for all. Peace.

    Marina was just a young girl, though, and I am curious about the differences between her views of the world and her parents. This might be an interesting “Russian” novel.

  • beevee14

    I read military history as a hobby/obsession, and one of the best books I ever read was “the Good War” by Studs Terkel. The author went around the world interviewing thousands about there part in the war. The worst stories of anyone not in a Concentration Camp were those of Soviet citizens during the war. Especially Stalingrad and Leningrad. :sad: Horrible :sad: Any Russian born after ‘The Great War’ is going to have a different view than any who lived through that hell. JMHO

    Of course from the Greek alphabet, just as the Latin alphabet also came from a different style of Greek signs almost in the same centuries.

    I’ll keep that book in mind. I started reading books about the Pacific War when I was young, as my father’s brother survived Peleliu, Iwo Jima, and other islands winning a Silver Star. Both were Marines and I considered becoming an officer when I was young, then I read what they were up against. Charging the beaches with machine guns pointed at them! They’re crazy, I thought, and quickly changed my mind. A good book about the Marines is The Old Breed, by Eugene “Sledgehammer” Sledge. A good book about my great uncle’s service in WWII, European theater is He Rode Up Front for Patton, by Brig. Gen. (Ret.) Albin Irzyk. After reading these books, I felt no need to read anymore about these sufferings.

    I understand a little about the Russian’s issues, as I bought Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn’s, The Gulag Archipelago in the early 1970s. I couldn’t finish it. I was too depressing.

    Karl: did you say to Marina take here choice…flowers for teacher :razz: History :razz: from wiki — Arzamas was founded in 1578 by Ivan the Terrible in the lands populated at the time by the Mordvin people. By 1737 more than 7,000 people lived in Arzamas and the town became a major transit center on the route from Moscow to eastern parts of Russia. It was known for its geese and onions as well as leather crafts.

    Catherine the Great in 1781 gave Arzamas an official city status and its own coat of arms based on the colors of the Arzamas regiment. In the early 19th century Arzamas had over twenty churches and cathedrals, the foremost being the Resurrection Cathedral. It was built in the Empire style to commemorate the Russian victory over Napoleon in 1812.
    :cool: :cool: :cool: [CATHEDRAL]… :smile:

    It is one worth looking into. It won ALL of the major awards for literature. The Sledge is in there and also his brother, Bob, who fought in Europe.

    Ohhh, ohhh, with that info, things are getting a lot hotter and closer than I thought. Here check this wiki out.
    Orlov, the grandson of a rebel against Peter the Great, distinguished himself in the Battle of Zorndorf. He represented an opposite to Peter’s pro-Prussian sentiment, with which Catherine disagreed. He and Catherine had become lovers although no one in the know told Catherine’s husband, the Grand Duke Peter.

She looked so cute that I tipped her $2.00 on the $3.00 candy bar purchase!

    The little boy was proud of his father’s new car and was bragging about it. The little girl asked what make it was and , when told, said that her father had a different (superior) make.
    Not to be out-done, the little boy mentioned other things that his parents possessed, but at every new item the girl revealed that her parents had something better.
    Finally in frustration, the boy dropped his pants, pointed to his penis and said, “Oh yeah? Well I bet you haven’t got one of these.” at which the girl lifted up her skirt and said, “No, but I’ve got one of these, and that means I get get as many of those as I want.” :lol:

    Even though it is more than a month away, you can never be sure if they will move it up or change the rules, or whatever. Keep you eyes open for this event coming up so we can make Marina the Sexiest Geek of 2009.

    Hello pig-in-a-poke,
    Your HR reason for taking down your tweets makes sense and it is wise to do. I don’t know your twitter name. My twitter name is the same name as you see here.

    If you are planning to completely abandon your Twitter account, you can Delete the account by going to your Twitter Settings and in the lower LEFT, there is a “Delete My Account” link.

    I advise you not to do that. Why? Anyone may create an account with your twitter name and masquerade as you, where you might be the one to get into trouble. Many companies are aware of this issue and lock down the name for a year or more when someone deletes their account. I don’t know if Twitter does that or not. I’ll have to look into that.

    If you do not plan on using Twitter again, I recommend you to do the following:
    1. Under the ACCOUNT tab, remove all personal information and enter fake info such as “xxx” or “NA” or leave blank.
    2. Check make the item at the bottom that says Protect my tweets.
    That way you won’t get any more followers unless approved, plus it removes you from the public timeline.
    3. Under the Notices tab, remove all the checkmarks
    4. Under Picture, remove your photo image.
    5. Under Connections Revoke Access to all of the companies that you had been approving.
    6. You may want to unfollow some or all of the people that you are Following.
    7. Block any of your Followers that you think may be a threat to you.

    Your recent tweets will remain on the timeline for a week or so and then they will essentially “disappear”. Actually, they are still in the Twitter database, and will be there for awhile, but will not be accessible by most people after a week.

    For the most part, you should not see any of your tweets after a month, unless the companies that collected your tweets display them. If you have other Twitter type ancillary accounts such as TwitPic, then log into that account and remove any pictures.

    If you have any questions or need help with anything, let me know. You can also PM (private Message) me over on the Forum. Go to one of the Topics and locate my name, then click PM to send me a private message.

    Here’s another version:-

    RT @Tao23 Life is like a bowl of Jalapenos: what you do today may burn your ass tomorrow.

    :lol:
    Moral: Never tweet anything you wouldn’t want your mother to hear you say. :|

    The last time I watched the Packers Bart Star was quarterback! And since Jonathan Richmon wrote both Roadrunner and Pablo Picasso this is one of my favorites. Dick Dale, as cool as he is, is only the top of theiceburg.This band is from Australia.

    Re: “Life is like a boul of Jalapenos” :lol: Similar to the great philosopher, Forest Gump’s quote.

    Why is it that peppers evolved with a hot taste to discourage animals from eating them, but humans continue doing so?

    Thanks for the help, Karl.

    Dear Teacher,
    It was cool to see the “Hometown Girl Makes Good” story shown above. One line that especially caught my eye was the part where many people had suggested that you lose your accent. If I may, I would like to weigh in on that one: OH, GOD! PLEASE, NO! DON’T EVER DO THAT! AAARRRGH!!! Er, sorry – I panicked just a little there. Seriously, though, to me, that adorable accent of yours is an integral part of the total package that is you. Your educational content is Brain Candy. Your looks are Eye Candy, and your voice is Ear Candy. I’d listen to you reading the LA phone book. I hope you happen to see this, because I’d like to thank you for the great work that you do. It’s re-established my faith in user – created video content, given me a place to slake my thirst for knowledge, and be entertained at the same time. I’m glad I came here, Teach.
    xoxo dc

    [FOREIGN IMPERIALISM] I was reading the book THE ETERNAL CITY by Bondanella. And he had said that after World War II america had become an Imperialist power just like the ancient Roman Empire!!! Funny there is this one chick on Facebook who I think was trying to look like Marina and had accused me of wearing a tin hat at this Lisa Hofeling’s Facebook page! They were attacking some remark I made to her just like some attacked some innocent remark I made to you!! FBI or CIA?

By 1737 more than 7,000 people lived in Arzamas and the town became a major transit center on the route from Moscow to eastern parts of Russia. It was known for its geese and onions as well as leather crafts.

    Catherine the Great in 1781…1781 gave Arzamas an official city status and its own coat of arms based on the colors of the Arzamas regiment. In the early 19th century Arzamas had over twenty churches and cathedrals, the foremost being the Resurrection Cathedral. It was built in the Empire style to commemorate the Russian victory over Napoleon in 1812…..my extra credit :grin:
