I need to get ahold of a realistic-looking visor!  My girlfriend has
been totally blind since birth, and is a TNG fan, so it sort of makes
sense.

You can also order it from:

	Entertainment N.W., Inc.
	1574 Coburg Rd., #395
	Eugene, OR  97401
	1-800-275-6327

It sells for two bucks.  Shipping and handling is expensive though ($3)
so I'd suggest you get their catalog--you might find something else
you want.

looking in next week's TV guide, which by the way has Guinan on the cover 
along with some other TV and movie "lovables", i saw a listing for something 
called The Red Shoe Diaries on tuesday night (18 August) at 11 pm on Showtime 
cable channel. she plays a cop that is interested in a guy and to get him to 
notice her, she arrests him (that is what the TV guide said anyway). 

this newsgroup doesn't exactly seem to be the Denise Crosby Fan Club, but i

Here's my definition,

TREKKIES {trek-ies} : the larval form of a TREKKER, normally this is a
                      very short phase in the life cycle, however some
                      exceptions have been noted, as evidenced by
                      continued displays of immature behaviour.

TREKKERS {trek-ers} : the mature form of a Trek fan.

Yes, the exhibit will run until Labor Day.  You can get a free ticket for a
specific time of entrance fifteen minutes before the museum opens and
throughout the day as long as they are available.  It has been a wildly
popular show -- I chatted with one of the Smithsonian staff people the last
time I was down about their perception of the attendance.  Much better than
even they expected: "The show has been HUGE."  If you only have a day in
Washington and want to make sure you get in, you can also get an advanced pass
through Ticketmaster (1-800-551-7382).  This will cost something ($2.50 or
$3.50, I don't recall) and must be ordered ten days in advance.  Hecht's
department store has a Ticketmaster desk and you can purchase a ticket there
up to a day before you view the exhibit.

ENJOY!  It's great fun, and the 25-minute film is very good.

Bear with me here...I'm slamming this in fast.  I know our Get a Life people
should be ignored but the disrespect to those people who see more in a given
piece of entertainment than others angers me.  I have a life - Alaksa during
summer solstice was spectacular! sorry, 'nuf said.....onward:

I understand the COL is up for Emmy(s).  I am stunned.  If Northern Exp.
had not received so many nominations I would truly question who in hell
chooses what.  I had read all the negative postings before watching COL
a second time.  I tried, really tried to find a redeeming quality. Couldn't
do it.  ST:TNG may be its own worst enemy.  Some TV shows and movies require
nothing of me - sit back and stare.  I do watch these.  I *expect* ST to
give me more, make the think, take me for a ride.  Someone posted way back
that this was supposed to be a light a fun episode.  I found it silly.

Thanks, that felt good.

... the same reason that every TV bad guy always looses:
it would be a real short series if they ever won.  Can you imagine:

"Captain, the shields are down!"
"Incomming photon torpedo!"
"Mr. Data, launch emergency capsule with copies of our

[Turns on intercom]
"All hands, this is the Captain... adandon script,

"Arrrrhhhh, at last, Picard and that
snivelling wimp Riker are dead"

"Yes, and now, it's Milwagaaaaah time...
everybody down to 11 Aft for Angry Hour!"

[Fade Out]
[Cut to reruns of Gilligan's Island]

See, no residuals, no merchandising, no

the bad guys always loosing, unlike real life.

     The CINEFANTASTIQUE issue is out-of-date.  Michelle Forbes apparently
     has chosen NOT to join the DS9 cast (which would have tied her to a 5
     year contract; her TNG role in recurring frequency, not star, is 
     contracted on an episode-to-episode basis).  
     Ensign Ro has been replaced by a Bejoran military major, to serve as
     Captain Sisko's advisor and liason between the Federation and Bejoran
     governments.  
     Colm Meany and Rosalind Chao will still be major cast members (with
     O'Brien being promoted  to Chief Operating Officer).  
     A "well-respected black actor has been cast as Captain Sisko."

     The above is all confirmed.

I forget where I saw it exactly, but, if you were able to compare two
paths of the past, one which has been altered, to one which has not,
then at first the two histories would be similar, but after a while, the
two histories would start to diverge.  Any minor action of the past
would cause the altered history to differ, within time, to that which
was not altered.  And what you say about the meteor destroying a 
shopping center to a time traveler destroying a shopping center is
absurd.  The meteor, regardless of your actions, would destroy the
shopping center.  However, if the shopping center were to be destroyed
by a person, then it would directly depend on the person's actions.
But any little action would have profound effects.  Have you ever read
Mark Twain's The Mysterious Stranger?
