Elvis's designer
Who is the designer of Elvis's white rhinestone jumpsuit? Ages ago I saw a pedia article on him, but now can't find it. I remember he designed suits for other country/rock performers. Does anyone know? Julia Rossi (talk) 06:48, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

maxim magazine covers
what is the complete list of just film actress that posed on the covers of maxim magazine. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Colts182 (talk • contribs) 07:17, 24 January 2009 (UTC)


 * That'd be a pretty long list, since apparently there are versions of the magazine in Argentina, Canada, India, Indonesia, Israel, Belgium, Romania, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Bulgaria, Brazil, Greece, Italy, Korea, Mexico, Netherlands, Poland, Russia, Serbia, the Philippines, Singapore, Spain, Thailand, Ukraine, and Portugal. I'm sure some of them use the same covers and content either on occasion or on a regular basis, but still. -- Captain Disdain (talk) 08:48, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Movie with main character named Dove
Hi - trying to get the name of a 1950's or early 60's movie with the main character name Dove. I think he dies in the end - was kind of a bad boy type character.Annem59 (talk) 16:34, 24 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Could it be the 1962 film A Walk on the Wild Side? There's a fella called Dove in it. Fribbler (talk) 17:06, 24 January 2009 (UTC)


 * And here I was thinking of Lonesome Dove. :-) StuRat (talk) 20:29, 24 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Jennifer Jones played a school teacher in Good Morning, Miss Dove (1955). She was obviously not a bad boy, but many of her students were, from memory.  --  JackofOz (talk) 06:25, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Badminton
anyone interested in badminton?can you tell me if its right to cross the net with your racquet without touching it by any of your bodypart( i mean above the net)?The hungry tide (talk) 19:04, 24 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Only if you are continuing a stroke in which your initial contact with the shuttle was on your side of the net. The relevant rule is section 13.4.2 of the Laws of Badminton, which states that it shall be a fault if, in play, a player "invades an opponent’s court over the net with racket or person except that the striker may follow the shuttle over the net with the racket in the course of a stroke after the initial point of contact with the shuttle is on the striker’s side of the net".

Sports of South Asia
Besides soccer, cricket, field hockey and squash, is there any sports that are Indian-invented or any sports that was introduced by British? I meant that used for high school competition in South Asia (Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka)? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.64.52.198 (talk) 19:23, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
 * How about Kabaddi? Fribbler (talk) 19:24, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Polo and snooker are both of Anglo-Indian origin. Algebraist 19:31, 24 January 2009 (UTC)


 * It is my understanding that badminton is fairly popular in several south-asian countries. --Jayron32. talk . contribs 01:50, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Sorry 'bout that. Forgot to sign in. That question was by me.

Nick4404 yada yada yada What have I done? 19:52, 24 January 2009 (UTC)


 * As well as broadcasting them separately in the show's usual 8.30 timeslot NBC aired the two episodes edited together into one hour-long show with an additional storyline about Pam winning an art prize; the version on the DVD (which I own) seems to be this hour-long version with the extra Pam storyline. --Maltelauridsbrigge (talk) 11:31, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Well, 1) Buy a plane ticket to Mumbai. 2) Buy a camera.  Hell, my cell phone has a movie camera on it.  Take your cell phone out (or that camera you got) and film stuff.  3) You just shot a movie in Bollywood.  Congrats.  Post it to YouTube.  Now others get to watch it.  --Jayron32. talk . contribs  01:48, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Idea number 2, go to film school and learn thousands of times more than someone could possibly teach you here, and finally, use the skills taught to you in film school to create your masterpiece. Dismas |(talk) 01:51, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Combine both suggestions and make the short films on your cell phone/YouTube your portfolio to get into film school. Julia Rossi (talk) 11:37, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Since you have a computer, you're halfway there. Use it to write a half-dozen screenplays. Keep typing. Consider the early careers of Billy Bob Thornton, Sylvester Stallone, Fred Barron, Harmony Korine, Chris Kentis, Henry Jaglom, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. Pepso2 (talk) 22:44, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
