Wow... she's got insight too! I maintained for years that ST was

years ahead of its time in being a leading proponent of women and
|
||
minority rights. They used to tackle some pretty hairy social problems
|
||
(for that era) such as when they visited the planet where the inhabitant
|
||
were Roman type "gods" and had telekinesis powers to force the crew to
|
||
do whatever they wanted. In one scene they had Spock, Uhura, Kirk and
|
||
Nurse playing like a love scene. For that time having Uhura (a black
|
||
female) almost kissing Kirk was incredibly brave along the lines of
|
||
"Look Who's Coming to Dinner". While others think that Shatner was
|
||
a "ham" - at the time it was very popular for the shows to have a very
|
||
visible hero. I personally think that Shatner was very charismatic and
|
||
the entire cast was an act of genius on Roddenberry's part.

Amen, Amen. Shatner played Kirk with a hint of Shakespere(sp?) and a
|
||
pound of macho. By the way, "Look who's coming to dinner" is one of my
|
||
favorites. Star Trek had many aspects that were "before it's time".
|
||
That's one reason it was canceled. Just not enough people made noise
|
||
until it was too late. Shatner was a ham, especially when compared to
|
||
the others in the show. He often launched into poetic speeches (very
|
||
shaksperian(excuse the spelling, it's, like, 1:15 am, my eyes are
|
||
drooping a little). I think a lot of people viewed Star Trek as a corney
|
||
spoof. But I came away from it with something else, a view of the future
|
||
and enough fantasy to make me look forward to the Kirk's and Spock's of
|
||
yet to come. I was a mere child when the original series ran ('nuff
|
||
said about age) and I believe that watching the show molded a lot of
|
||
minds about equality between both the sexes and the races. "Give peace
|
||
a chance" and all that. And..... if all else fails, lock on target and

fire torpedoes. But above all, do not break the Prime Directive!!!!

The first two were great, the third a little weak, the fourth had too

It sounds to me like your test of "endurance" for women was a test of
|
||
strength. Throwing 10,000 pounds a day of weight is considerably more
|
||
dependent on muscle power than it is on stamina; from what I've read,
|
||
the results would be quite different if endurance was tested in
|
||
something approaching a combat situation. The few female paintball
|
||
teams out there (not many, you know, because it's a "man's game") are
|
||
consistently ranked in the upper 25% in national competitions -- not
|

bad when you consider they likely account for less than 5% of the

competitors.

I don't want to fight for reasons that I consider not worth fighting

sense.

There WERE a lot of pacifists in 1776, including most of the leaders

of the Revolution. They felt it WAS a cause worth dying for. I do not

feel that the "liberation of Kuwait" is such a cause. I don't believe

I am not a homophobe, and your poor weak mind can't figure out why

your bullshit stance of calling me a term which is inaccurate, and I

will continue to use the word PACIFIST. (Which to you, undoubtedly is

Oh, don't worry about confusing me. You "could tell me" but you won't;

out if someone I meet is a fag, so I usually can detect all of them. The

Let it be written...on this date, 17 February, 1991, that the 72 Dodge
|
||
Charger, with 440 and 4 barrel carb, successful SMOKED a 1987 or later
|
||
Mustang GT 5.0 in a most RIGHTEOUS fashion.
|

More...more...I want MORE HORSEPOWER! Hehehehe. TIme for a new

with...an AIR GRABBER SCOOP! YEAH! YEAH!
|
||
|
||
But seriously, tonight the fruition of over a years labor on my Charger
|
||
produced a conclusive defeat of a black convertible 87 or later Mustang!
|
||
The light changed, and that Mustang was behind me, and then, in the
|
||
rearview! And I know that he was racing, because his tires barked off
|
||
the line. But it was over within seconds. Glorius!

It's a shame she didn't play the in the next movie. That Saavik had a

Kirsty could have pulled it off with just the right effect (The confused

There is a book devoted to the history of Saavik. It's called The

I have one all-time favorite. Don't know the title, but it's the
|

episode where Kirk has a battle of wits with a Romulan bird-of-prey.
|
||
They battle back and forth, etc. The Enterprise plays dead for hours
|
||
Spock accidently hits a switch on the scanner boards, and the Romulan's
|
||
detect it. Kirk deduces that the Romulan's /have/ detect them and has
|
||
Sulu fire phasers in random pattern, widest dispersion. They critically
|
||
damage the Romulan vessel and they self-destruct.

The name of that show was Balance of Terror. It was a good one, Kirk is
|
||
the ultimate poker player (as later seen in the Wrath of Khan= the
|
||
ultimate poker game.). As to why I liked Amok Time; because it was the
|
||
first show that delved(sp?) into the rituals and bowels of Vulcan. I
|
||
found it "fascinating". Miri; I dunno, Janice Rand had a big part in
|
||
that one and I liked the plot. Besides Uhera and Chapel, Rand was the
|
||
only other lead female and for what, one season? Her character was not
|
||
unflappable and strong like a She-man. And she was the closest thing
|
||
Kirk had to a steady girl besides the Enterprise. Of course, they never
|
||
really developed the relationship between the two, which was probobly
|
||
better for the show. I liked the Naked Time because I believe we all
|
||
have an alter ego trying to get out. Like Sulu's swashbuckler and Kirk's
|
||
"man trapped in a love affair with a cold and jealous machine." I think
|
||
we all live another life deep inside of us. Who can forget the off key
|
||
singing echoing through the ship "I'll take you home again, Kathleen...
|
||
.... One more time." Know which one I didn't like? I Mudd. It was
|
||
stupid. I didn't like seeing Spock dancing around and quoting poetry. It
|
||
was NOT real. Which one(s) don't you like?

We learned in personal torture that if you had a pain, you should do
|
||
more of what caused that pain to make it go away. My comment was: "So

if we have a headache, we should hit our head with a hammer?"
|

I hope you get to see a film that goes something like "You can only

digest the same type of protiens found in your body," with this stupid
|

kid standing in the middle of the street going "So we have to eat
|

people to get protien that we can use?" The best part is when some guy
|

passing by goes "That's disgusting." The film procedes with animated

Actually, they're Herman Melville's quotes, from Moby Dick (one of the

"From Hell's heart, I stab at thee; for hate's sake, I spit my last

XModem 1K is normal XModem/CRC with 1024-byte packets (generic
|
||
XModem uses 128-byte packets). YModem is XModem 1K with an additional
|
||
packet that gives the name of the file being transmitted; it is
|
||
also a batch protocol, so you can send or receive a large number of
|
||
files all at once (when one file is finished transmitting, it will send
|
||
an EOT followed by a block zero containing the filename of the next
|
||
file to be sent; it uses two EOT's to end the transmission when all the
|
||
files have been sent). XModem 1K is, obviously, faster than XModem
|
||
because the packet size is larger. Its reliability is about the same,
|
||
but on noisy lines you're better off with XModem since you don't have
|
||
as much stuff to retransmit if a frame gets trashed.

Most people can't read body language...and not everyone exhibits it.

I like the garbled ones. They have nice decorative dollar signs in
|
||
them (increasing their value?)... I can't speak for the lost ones, since
|

I never saw 'em (But that would seem to go along with something lost,

Yeah, it was Shatner's chance to make a bigger ham of himself by

dominating the PRODUCTION as well as the acting.

Actually, Star Trek V has some (albeit very little) redeeming value.

They could have done much better with the idea, tho.

So, lemme get this straight...you have all kinds of mass, but not all
|
||
of it is muscle? Good. Now, all you have to do is lift weights at
|
||
p;l['./[-p';
|
||
/.]\
|
||
home, and turn that into muscle. If you think that the pain in your
|
||
side is bad, wait'll you get into lifting. The nice thing about
|
||
weightlifting, is that it is brainwashing to a degree. You feel bad
|
||
the first couple of weeks, then when you notice results, you wanna do
|
||
more. So you start looking forward to training. You look forward the
|
||
pain because you know that the pain is building you up.
|
||
|
||
Of course, it's not addictive....

If you are overweight, working out is one of the best things to do.
|
||
There are basically two ways to lose weight. One is to decrease your
|
||
calorie intake, and the other is to increase to amount of calories you
|
||
burn up. If you do decide to workout exercise muscle groups every
|
||
other day, and use a high protein diet. That with allow you to build
|
||
muscle more effectively. Don't increase your carbohydrate intake too
|
||
much, because then, during workout, you will be burning carbohydrates
|
||
not fat. Don't try to do both methods, that's a mistake a lot of
|
||
people make. The problem with doing that is you won't be able to
|
||
workout long enough to start burning fat because you'll tire too easily.
