Nah, Pitts questionable Sean.

I'm on Jennifer Anistons' side on this one.

Me either Mrs. Picard.

Though, I'd take Sean Connery too. I don't care if he is old enough to be my grandfather, that voice does things for me.

Come on, we all know that we watched TOS for the girls, no matter how long you argue it was the moral issues that drew you to the show!

 

So, who was the best?

 

My vote goes to the girl that Yeoman Rand introduces to Charlie to try to push him on to someone else, the same one he later turns into a frog later in the episode.

Erm.......... I like men.

I didn't watch it for the "girls" [they were women] and Kirk taking his shirt off only grossed me out because he was a mank, a male skank.

I'd have Harrison Ford IF he was Indiana Jones.

Does your firewall NOT allow animation?

I upload mine onto photobucket and then just use the link with no difficulties.

Ok how about

Harrison Ford in his "Indiana Jones" phase

Kevin Costner in his "Field of Dreams" phase

Alec Baldwin before he got all fat and bloated.

John Travolta before he got all fat and bloated

Owen Wilson before he became the Butterscotch Stallion

Adam Sandler if he didn't have that voice

James Spader before he gpt all fat and bloated

Matthew Broderick before he got all fat and bloated

Running theme among the men of Hollywood.

Well I for one don't like someone pointing fingers at me for something I didn't do.

When people have to always have something negative to say about other, and are pointing the fingers, perhaps they need to look at themselves.

Into The West

Lay down,

your sweet and weary head.

Night is falling.

You have come to journey’s end.

Sleep now, and dream

of the ones who came before.

They are calling,

from across a distant shore.

Why do you weep?

What are these tears upon your face?

Soon you will see.

All of your fears will pass away.

Safe in my arms,

you’re only sleeping.

What can you see,

on the horizon?

Why do the white gulls call?

Across the sea,

a pale moon rises.

The ships have come,

to carry you home.

And all will turn,

to silver glass.

A light on the water.

All souls pass.

Hope fades,

Into the world of night.

Through shadows falling,

Out of memory and time.

Don’t say,

We have come now to the end.

White shores are calling.

You and I will meet again.

And you’ll be here in my arms,

Just sleeping.

What can you see,

on the horizon?

Why do the white gulls call?

Across the sea,

a pale moon rises.

The ships have come,

to carry you home.

And all will turn,

to silver glass.

A light on the water.

Grey ships pass

Into the west.

I thought of adding none of the above!

They are both scummy.

From the girl's perspective -- we women put up with a lot of "abuse" but eventually we get tired of feeling that we are in a one-sided relationship where we do all the caring and working.

This is sooooooooooooooo true.

Polar Bear Covers at Least 46 Miles in One Day's Swim

By Alister Doyle, Reuters

OSLO, Norway (Aug. 12) - Scientists have tracked a tagged polar bear swimming at least 46 miles in just one day -- and maybe up to 62 miles -- providing the first conclusive proof the bears can cover such giant distances in the water.

Bears often roam thousands of miles in a year in search of prey such as seals and there has often been anecdotal evidence of prodigious ursine swims, with bears turning up on remote islands or across wide bays.

However, previously there had been doubts about whether the bears had walked over ice part of the way or hitched a ride on an iceberg.

"What's new this time is that we have data showing how long the bear was in the water," Jon Aars, a researcher at the Norwegian Polar Institute, said on Friday.

"This is the first time that such a long swim has been documented by satellite telemetry for polar bears," the institute added.

The female bear, equipped with a satellite tracking device, entered the water on the east of the Norwegian Arctic island of Spitsbergen early on July 20, swam northeast and re-emerged on the island of Edgeoya a day later.

A sensor on the bear's collar sent different signals when it was in salty sea water compared to on land or on ice.

"This is an astonishing swim," Aars said, saying it showed that polar bears could in many ways be classified as marine mammals -- a group including whales and dolphins.

Aars said the bear, dubbed "Skadi" after a Norse goddess of snow, had probably swum closer to 62 miles since the bear almost certainly did not swim the 46 miles between the two points in an exact straight line.

The bear covered the gap in about 24 hours -- about as fast as a person walking.

The swim probably meant that two cubs, with Skadi when the bear was marked in the spring, had died earlier in the summer. Mortality rates among polar bear cubs are high.

"We don't think cubs could swim that far -- they lose heat much faster than adults," Aars said. Cubs usually stay with their mother for about 2 1/2 years.

The WWF environmental group said cubs were most at risk in a warming Arctic which could destroy cubs' dens. "If sea ice retreats from denning areas it will first become a problem for females with small cubs," said Tonje Folkestad of the WWF.

An eight-nation report by 250 experts last year said that the Arctic was warming twice as fast as the rest of the globe and said that a buildup of heat-trapping gases from factories, power plants and cars was largely to blame.

It said global warming could make the Arctic Ocean ice-free by the end of the century, threatening to wipe out species such as polar bears.

Researchers say that the Arctic is warming faster than the rest of the globe because darker ground and sea water, once exposed, soak up much more heat than reflective ice and snow.

Sun Was Shining Brightly at System's Birth, Study Says

WASHINGTON (Aug. 12) - Our Sun was already shining brightly more than 4.5 billion years ago, as dust and gas were swirling into what would become the planets of the solar system, U.S. researchers reported on Thursday.

They said their finding is the first conclusive evidence that the so-called protosun affected the developing the solar system by emitting enough ultraviolet energy to catalyze the formation of organic compounds, water and other elements necessary for the evolution of life on Earth.

"The basic question was, 'Was the sun on or was it off?"' said Mark Thiemens of the University of California San Diego, who led the study.

"There is nothing in the geological record before 4.55 billion years ago that could answer this."

So Thiemens and colleagues studied chemical "fingerprints" preserved in primitive chondrite meteorites.

Specifically, they report in Friday's issue of the journal Science, they looked at isotopes, chemical variants, of sulfide compounds.

Astronomers believe that wind from the protosun blew matter from the core into the flat accretion disk -- the layer of gas and matter from which meteorites, asteroids and planets later formed.

It is no good looking for anything on Earth, which has undergone extensive change since it was formed. But primitive meteorites have been less subject to chemical reactions since they were formed.

The UCSD team determined that a slight excess of one isotope of sulfur, called 33S, suggests that there were photochemical reactions going on when the little chunks of meteorite coalesced.

"This measurement tells us for the first time that the sun was on, that there was enough ultraviolet light to do photochemistry," Thiemens said in a statement. "Knowing that this was the case is a huge help in understanding the processes that formed compounds in the early solar system."

Now the researchers plan to use their technique to look for other elements in more meteorites and find out more about how the solar system formed.

2 years into our relationship, we graduated college and we moved back to where we grew up.. She lives in North Los Angeles while I live in Orange County.  Bout an hour by car.  At first, we tried to see each other as much as we could.  She undoubtably made most of the effort, coming to see me as much as possible

Girls perspective:

By not coming to see her, you were showing her that it was all up to her, that it didn't matter what you said about loving her and such. If you'd really wanted to be with her, you'd have come to see her too.

3 years in, I started partying alot with my college friends but would still count on her to come and see me couple times a week.  I became complacent with her coming to see me as I knew she would always be there for me...

Girls perspective: Biggest mistake boys make with their girlfriends. She should have talked to you about this though, and if you still remained complacent, she should have ended it then. Guys, the minute you take for granted a girls love for you, doom is written on the relationship. Nothing wounds the heart more than the guy not acting like he wants to be with his girl. Direct hit to the heart.

4 years now... After a trip to costa rica with one of her friends, she comes back and decides that she doesnt feel the same way about me and that its not my fault.   Literally she says that somethings mising and that she cant love me 100% and that shes not sure she ever did..   I realize in retrospect that its my fault for becoming lazy and that I should have treated her with the respect and admiration that she deserved which she got from me in the beginning..

She really wanted it to work I think, tis why it two years for her to come to this decision.

so what Im saying is this.. is it wrong for me to try and put some distance between us?  from what she tells me she says theres no chance well get back together but... Is she just saying that?  Is there a chance?   my mind goes a mile a minute  and I wish from the bottom of my heart that I could undo mistakes Ive made.. its funny,  bout a week before we broke up  I hade this epiphany that she was the best thing that ever happened to me and that I should marry this woman...thne the proverbial poop hits the fan . then to make matters worse  she drunken dials me a month after out break up, tonight, and calls to see "how Im doing?"

Why do you want to put distance between you?

Are you ashamed of the way you treated her all those years?

I think you two would both definitely benefit from just letting it all hang out in a conversation. Say everything you both need to. Both of you listen.

You don't know what the universe has in store for you, but it seems like after you both moved home, because she wasn't right in your backyard, you didn't have time for her. Perhaps with some honesty, and really opening your hearts to one another, you have some sort of possibilities in the future. Even if it's just good friends.

If you'd know she was the best thing that ever happened to you, you'd never have made her do all that driving, and you'd have put more effort into still chasing her.

Just because you got her, didn't mean you could keep her without trying to keep her loving you.

You were her first love, it's hard to end that. Tis why she drunk called you. She still cares for you, and always will.

As for long distance relationships never working out.

I'm in one at the moment.

The key to it working, is communication, and both parties making an effort to make it work.

Small thoughtful things often help, and making a strong effort to be respectful of the others time schedule also helps.

The only times we ever have difficulties is when we let fears get in the way of our hearts.

Whether it's not wanting to appear to be worried over something, or not wanting to smother the other, once we let those things get in the way of just loving the other freely, than we stumble. But we always manage to get back into the flow again because we talk, and remember to just love each other. That's all that matters.

Both have had the press gossip about their private lives, making them appear to be less than a girls best dream.

But if you had to choose, who would it be?

For Mrs Picard, who wondered where the random male movie star poll was.

Sandy, got the girl next store eliment.

Julia going after and getting a married man just turned me off of her.

I used to post with someone who had him in a L'oreal ad, I'm looking for it now.
