Folks,

Can anyone ID the model in Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game" video for me?
(That's the song with the very dreamy, blues-style guitar, and most
of the video action -- also dreamlike -- takes place on or near a
black sand beach.)

The gal looks familiar, and every time that video comes on the world
sorta stands still... :-)

Thanks in advance!

I know what you mean...*sigh*

>Sure.  Her name is Helena Christiansen.

She is becoming a more popular model since that video. I've seen her in several
ads in Rolling Stone and other magazines...can't remember any product names,
however.

It's her eyes...just look at her eyes.

I just recently saw George Michael's "Freedom" song again and asked myself
the same question I always ask when I see this video:  Who are all the models?

If someone could email me or post a list of the models in the video I would
greatly appreciate it.

In what way is religion not a part of culture?  If you wish to exclude
cultural discussions, then use alt.religion.hindu. If you wish to
discuss all aspects of culture, then alt.culture.hindu is appropriate
and in no way inhibits the discussion of religion.

	This is simply not true. First article that I checked was
	posted and moderated by cindy (<2A773B7D.15723@ics.uci.edu>).
	However, muffy seems to be constantly approving her articles

	How can I tell what kind of articles were rejected by reading

	untrue. What I should think of your other claims?

	Publically claimed moderation policy and the real policy of
	three individual moderators differ. If you really think that
	the moderating policy is flawless you should demonstrate it.
	IMO it is not, and you have not. You can not demand an apology
	by unsubstantiated or untrue claims.

Charles Lasner (lasner@watsun.cc.columbia.edu) recently proposed the
creation of an group called alt.sys.pdp8 on alt.folklore.computers.
Since I haven't seen his proposal here on alt.config, I'm taking the
liberty of reposting the relevant portion of his article here. 

I second his proposal, though I think the name may need some
discussion. Any ideas?

yes i realize that is it impossible to get an alt group removed

with the recent creation of rec.motorcycles.harley and the

i believe that the alt variation is now quite redundant and

Where?  At Dartmouth?  I hardly hear the rest of altnet crying for it.

If you insist on newgrouping it anyway, at least put it in an existing

Exactly.  It's the separatists who are dissatisfied with the changes that
have come about in techno music with the advent of the rave scene who want
their own newsgroup.  "they like techno but they don't like rave".  And
watch out for the two Petes; flame-a-rama going on there - they are at each
other's throats over this.  There are indeed arguments for having separate
newsgroups, but it boils down to what you just said.  I know that I and
probably most other alt.ravers would read r.m.techno and crosspost 90% of
the articles, so there's no point, really.  The separatists will just have
to suffer through having rave-related postings in their techno news.  Also,
if you use trn instead of rn you can save yourself the trouble of reading
things you don't want to read by picking out the subject threads ahead of
time.  Try this sequence: trn ; g alt.rave ; y ; L      without the
semicolons of course.  Thus if you want to skip all the rave-related postings
and just read the ones with "hard non-rave techno" in their subject lines,
you're free to do so.  Problem solved.

Why not take the other route, rather than leaving behind an

rec.arts.tv.blake7 or what-have-you.  If the RFD is met with hoots of
derision, or the CFV fails, *then* create a mailing list or

 Obviously not as he has 4 "i's" in this sentance. Vampyre is just a nifty
spelling, possibly from early english (whatever the term might be); sort
of like "colour" instead of "color"

I for one would get a kick out of such a newsgroup. There is as a whole
subculture associated with these legends (see alt.goth. rec.music.industrial 
alt.satanism and alt.thrash for some examples of these people). The drawback
is this; will anyone actually post to it? Considering the traffic in alt.goth,
where this was originally proposed, I tend to doubt it....

X-Disclaimer:  Material posted in this article is the sole responsibility of

This is a new group proposal, or a warning, as you prefer... :-)

I would like to create alt.sabaean.  The group's purpose would be to discuss
the various aspects of Sabaean philosophy and religion both as it relates to
contemporary life and the heritage which brought us to this point.

For those who haven't heard of this particular "brand" of philosophy before,
evidence of Sabaean thought principles can be traced all the way back to
ancient Saba, spanning over 3,000 years of history.  The philosophical
aspects of these principles are many and varied.  

There is also a religious order which is known under the same name; while
those who identify with the religion are said to also identify with the
philosophy, the converse is not necessarily true.

If there are no vehement objections I intend to send out a newgroup for this
sometime in the next two weeks.

Discussion is welcome.

Good idea, but I don't think you need to make so many separate groups.  

There's already alt.food.mcdonalds to discuss fast food; and the rest could
probably fit under the category alt.food.junk.

I wasn't opposing the group, I was just questioning its popularity. I

I see no reason why multiple ACS servers can't peacefully co-exist on the same
newsgroup. I doubt that what you so modestly refer to as "the obvious 
superiority of my server" will cause all others to shutdown in deference.

Cater to your niche; let others cater to their niches and if your niches 
overlap: so much the better for your potential users who will continue to 
be able to pick through all sorts of advertisements in a one-stop shopping
group!
