I'm not sure about which ten I would choose, but one of them is surely "The Offspring." It was on Spike TV Friday. Very touching, and very sad. :)

The local Peewee B team took a shellacking today from another Twin Cities Metro Area team. This time, Eagan. And, once again, our guys and gals did not get a single goal. I don't know what to say. Its very discouraging for them, for sure. One parent suggested that the team focus on a "small victory" as in 2 or 3 goals, rather than trying to win the game. I don't know. :) We have another Metro-area team at home again on Saturday. Whatever. :)

That '70's shuttle concept idea is really neat! I like it!! :P
I believe that the unmanned/robot - type of launch vehicle is a good idea, too. You can see that the US military is doing just that with the Predator and similar vehicles. Cheaper, smaller, and the "pilot" can be hundreds, or thousands, of miles away. However, there is something to be said of a manned flight. Pres. Bush wants to do just that with a mission to Mars. It'll require a bigger platform in space, or even on the moon, to make it work, IMO. Perhaps the VentureStar in a smaller package, incorporating a booster ship, is a step in that direction. I seem to recall that NASA has a new-improved Delta rocket for heavy payloads. Whatever. I'm excited to see what the future of space flight will bring. :P

Here is another photo of the VentureStar RLV. Doesn't it resemble one of the space vehicles seen in the opening credits to "Enterprise", the one just after the ISS Space Station? IMO, anyway. :P

In another thread, the question was asked whether or not NASA planned to replace the current space shuttle fleet, in light of the previous tragedies with Challenger and Columbia. The answer is: yes! The Reusable Launch Vehicle - RLV - program is to use a 1/2 scale version, the X-33, for testing. The full-size version is to be called the VentureStar. I have posted a photo below of the two alongside a Space Shuttle.
There is a lot of facinating information that I hope to pass along. Stay tuned!

Actually, I'd say that things seem to be heating up in Phoenix - :P hehehe!
Just kidding , RC! :P
BTW, the film "The Seven Year Itch" is showing on Fox Movie Channel, which I am presently watching.

Yes, I read that news item today. You are correct, the "ball"..er...puck is in the owners hands. :P It sounds as if a decision needs to be made by Tuesday, Dec. 14th. Here's hoping that sensible minds pull together and fix this problem by then! :P

Spock! :P Even in the Priceline commercials, he looks like Mr. Spock, IMO, even without the pointy ears! :P
As AE pointed out, Mr. Nimoy was in the old Mission: Impossible TV show, as the character Paris, a kind of make-up artist (hehe!). That was one of my favorite shows back then, along with reruns of TOS. And I've seen him in a western or two, as well.

Here is a bit of space trivia taken from space.com:How many bits of man-made debris are orbiting about earth?
Facinating, eh?
:oJust so you know, that link goes to todays trivia answer. The trivia and it's answer changes everyday.
oops! :) You are correct! I don't know how to correct the original post, but the answer to the trivia question is: over 8,000 pieces that are baseball-sized or larger, and over a million pieces that are smaller.
Thanks again for the heads up, wishfire. I guess that is the risk with using certain links.

Favorite TV shows? Hmmm...where do I begin...? hehe
If I don't include sporting events like baseball, football, racing, skiing, golfing, etc.,
then I will say:
CSI - the original, by far my favorite non-Trek
Without a Trace
Cold Case
the History Channel
The Simpsons
60 Minutes
just to name a few...

Iguana

What a hoot! You rock, Takara! :o Yep, wishfire! I agree. A "trekker" suggests, to me anyway, a dude with green lederhosen and hobnail hiking boots with a walking stick. " A volksmarching we go ..."

Here is an article from NBC Sports" David Sweet, and his take on the lock-out, and how he would "save the NHL". Save the NHL
Basically, he recommends eliminating some teams - "half a dozen", reducing the number of playoff games "in half", trimming the number of regular season games, employ a salary cap, and reduce ticket prices. Seems like a big undertaking. And would it work? I don't know.

Well 2 more episodes left for this season. Season 10 should just about be completed filming also.For tonight's episode it seems clear who needs to go...
Click For SpoilerJulie. She is the last of the "strong" women left. We'll see if Twila, Scout and Eliza are smart enough to get rid of her.After that, at the F4 it's anyone's game. My thought is that If the women want any chance they need to get rid of Chris. He has 2 votes built in already so he only needs 2 more to win it all if he gets to the F2.
I won't be shocked to see Scout and Twila in the F2 though if it comes to that.
It seems that your hunch was correct, VBG! way to go, dude!

Thanks, Odie! :thumbup: That is really thoughtful of you to say that. One thing that I've noticed about our team, is that they get a loud applause after each game, irregardless of the score. At this level of hockey, the win/loss column isn't the most important thing, but the sportmanship of each player, and the team as a whole. In Minnesota, points are awarded to each team for "fair play", which is included in the win/loss column. A team gets 1 point for having 10 minutes or less in the penalty box, for example. The behaviour of the crowd is also a factor in awarding points, too. There have been bad examples of players and parents already this year - fights, throwing equipment, etc. - which is too bad. :)
