Korean firm wins MoD tankers deal
4:31pm Wednesday 22nd February 2012 in National News © Press Association 2014
The Royal Navy's next generation of support tankers is to be built in South Korea, it has been announced.
Defence equipment minister Peter Luff said Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering has been chosen as the Government's preferred bidder to build the four 37,000-tonne vessels costing £452 million.
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) said that although a number of British companies took part in the competition, none submitted a final bid for the build contract.
UK firms will however benefit from associated contracts - including the provision of key systems and equipment - worth £150 million. The winning design for the ships is by the British company BMT Defence Services.
"The Government remains committed to building complex warships in UK shipyards," Mr Luff said.
The MoD's chief of defence materiel, Bernard Gray, said the competition for the contract had "sought to engage shipbuilders from across the globe".
"I believe the winning bidder's solution will offer the UK the best value for money," he said.
The four Military Afloat Reach and Sustainability (Mars) tankers will maintain the Navy's ability to refuel warships at sea and will provide support for amphibious, land and air forces.
At more than 200 metres in length, each ship is as long as 14 double decker buses and can pump enough fuel to fill two Olympic-size swimming pools in an hour.
Shadow defence secretary Jim Murphy said: "This is more bad news for British industry. First we lose out to France over fast jets and now we lose out to South Korea over Royal Navy tankers."

Phrases like "circus" and "a mess" have been tossed around aplenty when people discuss the New York Islanders. The timing of Ted Nolan's firing this summer and the general direction of the franchise haven't done much to help eradicate those opinions. But the Islanders do have some young players they hope will help excite a dormant fan base, and hopefully help point the organization back to consistent playoff contention.
2007-08: 35-38-9, 79 points (fifth in Atlantic)
WHAT WENT RIGHT: Rick DiPietro had a steady season in net before it was cut short by injury. Mike Comrie and Bill Guerin were serviceable as scoring options without much help behind them. Coach Ted Nolan did a commendable job for the second straight year of keeping this team afloat until DiPietro went down. Maybe the biggest development was Kyle Okposo looking like he belonged in a brief stint with the team.
WHAT WENT WRONG: Okposo left school mid-season and the war of words in the aftermath wasn't great p.r. for a franchise that has had plenty of negative press in recent years. That was minor compared to this organization's other problems. Nolan was fired and reports have said it is because he didn't want to play the kids as much as GM Garth Snow wanted him to. The Islanders finished the season last in the league in goals per game, and the power play was also terrible.
ARRIVALS: D Mark Streit, C Doug Weight, G Yann Denis
DEPARTURES: LW Ruslan Fedotenko, RW Miroslav Satan, D Aaron Johnson, G Wade Dubielewicz
IMPACT PROSPECTS: RW Kyle Okposo, C Frans Nielsen, RW Blake Comeau
Is Mark Streit the solution for the power play?
Streit is a forward masquerading as a defenseman, but he racked up points on the power play with the Canadiens. He had 49 assists last season, which was how many points Comrie had to lead the Islanders. Streit should help, but remember that everyone said Montreal's power play would struggle without Sheldon Souray after he left, and that didn't happen.
Will the young guys have bigger roles?
New coach Scott Gordon probably wouldn't be the new coach if his philosophy didn't mesh with Snow's, so expect to see guys like Okposo, Nielsen, Comeau and Jeff Tambellini getting more minutes. It isn't like there are a ton of veterans on this team that should be chewing up all of the playing time anyway.
PROGNOSIS: It would appear that the Islanders have finally embraced moving into rebuilding mode, which is what should have happened a while ago. Scoring goals is again likely to be a problem. Streit gives the team an offensive-minded defenseman, but Brendan Witt better be ready to defend a lot of 2-on-1s. Scoring depth was a problem last season, and two of those guys (Fedotenko and Satan) left town. It will be up to the youth movement to provide said depth. Best-case scenario is probably having a couple of the kids prove they belong and with Gordon's influence this becomes an exciting young team to watch like Phoenix and Edmonton last year. Worst-case scenario is the young guys are overmatched and Islanders fans spend the first six months of 2009 debating the merits of John Tavares and Viktor Hedman.

A Belgian friend of mine living in London described an acquaintance as being a woman of few but wise words. She asked if there was a word in English to simultaneously convey both qualities. I haven't been able to think of one. The closest I can get is taciturn or laconic, neither of which necessarily implies sagacity. Any help?_________________________

lacosapient adj. of few but wise words.
ORIGIN via Latin from Greek Lakonikos, from Lakon Laconia, Sparta, the Spartans being known for their terse speech and Latin sapient- being wise, from the verb sapere.
Okay. I made that up.

Can we be realistic about it? It's not that hard to keep your words wise when you use few.
I would call her a WWofeW. (Wise Woman of few Words).
Why does the owl represent wisdom? That big-eye stare, immobility and silence.

McKenzie, Donald John (1994) An invesigation of the effects which using the word processor has on the writing of standard six pupils. Masters thesis, Rhodes University.
In order to discover to what extent the use of the word processor affects the motivation of high school students when engaged in writing tasks, and to determine the effects of the word processing on the length and quality of their work and editing, two groups, carefully matched in terms of prior computer experience, intelligence and language ability were given eight writing tasks. The test group used word processors while the control group used pen and paper. Their behaviour was closely observed and their writing was subsequently compared. It was found that while the test group were more motivated and spent longer both writing and editing their work, the quality of the work of both groups was similar. The degree of editing was greater for the test group. The conclusion is that there is a place for the use of the word processor in the English classroom, but specific strategies need to be developed to optimise its benefits.

Realease the cracken? Best vieo I have seen on pooping in awhile…thank you for this gem.
yeah, video, I am literally a dumbass for not utilizing my spellcheck… I blame the cracken line.
If that guy isn't doing standup for a living (or, maybe, sitdown standup – because, you know … maybe he's NOT funny standing up) he's missing his calling.
I should not have watched this at work. This completely made my Friday. Even more than my usually Friday mood-boosting-blog http://www.fullhousereviewed.com (no, seriously, read that shit).
I'm dying. I can't wait to forward this to my mother.
"It was like a whale gave birth to a t-rex!" and then "blood pee"? Hilarious!!! Husband is going to love this!
Between the Star Wars posters and the hilarious poop comedy I may have found my soul mate! LOL
OMG! I love it. So hilarious.

Yup, totally made my day. My co-worker and I are huddled in my cube so we can share my ear-buds (since its not really SFW) and laughing so hard we are crying. It's quite the sight.
It was like a whale gave birth to a roaring T-Rex!

I will never be able to sit silently in a stall waiting to fart at work ever again because I will be laughing my ass off thinking of this video.
LOL!! Can't stop laughing! Wow. Just Wow.

Save your pennies on penne when Maria's of Royal Oak opens its doors near the intersection of Catalpa Drive and Main Street on Friday.
"Everything on our menu – king crab fettuccine, stuffed shells, gnocchi –will have 1980s prices," owner Carl "Buddy" Orlando said.
Orlando copied a menu, including the prices, of a restaurant his father opened in Detroit more than 35 years ago – Maria's Pizzeria on Grand River. The Orlando family eventually moved the business to Ferndale, where they operated Maria's Front Room for 15 years. After his parents, Carl Sr. and Joanie died, Orlando moved on, selling the business in 2008.
Now, after a four-year hiatus, Orlando is back in the family business.
"I am super excited," he said. "I feel like Phoenix rising from the ashes."
Late Wednesday, Orlando got all the OKs he needed from the city to open the doors.
"The opening is going to be a little hairy," he said. "The food arrives at noon on Friday and we open at 6 p.m., which gives me only six hours of prep time. Many guys who have been working with me for 20 years are coming back to help me."
Orlando thinks patrons are going to be surprised when they see who's in the kitchen. "They are going to come in and see a lot of familiar faces," he said.
The restaurant seats 43 people, with 12 tables and five bar seats. The kitchen is open so patrons can watch their meal being made.
"It took me a long time to get ready because I did all the work on the building," Orlando said. The olive-colored interior includes stone and wood finishes.
Come back to Royal Oak Patch later today for a sneak peek at the interior.
If you go
Where: Maria's of Royal Oak is located at 112 Catalpa Dr.
Opens: Friday at 6 p.m.
Hours: 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Monday through Friday, 4-10 p.m. Saturday, closed Sunday

Do you approve of the job Mayor Teresa Tomlinson is doing?
Mayor Tomlinson has been in office for three years, and reviews of her first term are starting to roll in.
WRBL-TV ran an online poll Tuesday and into Wednesday. The question: It has been three years since Mayor Teresa Tomlinson took office in Columbus. Are you satisfied with her first three years in office?
The unscientific poll stayed up for nearly 34 hours and about 1,488 votes were cast, according to WRBL News Director Perry Boxx. The results: 368 votes or 24.7 percent yes; 1,120 votes or 75.3 percent no.
Wednesday morning, Tomlinson said she put zero stock in the poll.
It is not reflective of what is out there, the mayor said. I feel confident about that. ... I am not saying everybody is happy and there are not some disappointed people, but, by in large, people are very happy with our city. Our city has never been more alive.
One of the people who found the results interesting was Zeph Baker, the only announced opposition to Tomlinson in 2014. The mayor soundly defeated Baker in a runoff three years ago.
Baker insists he did not use his campaign organization to skew the results of the recent WRBL poll.
I tried to make sure we didnt put the word out, Baker said. I wanted to see what people outside our group thought about it. What amazed us was, we think that was Columbus speaking.
Now it's your turn: we're running our own poll, asking the same question, for the same length of time.
Note: if you're wondering, the follow-up questions in the poll are produced by our poll generator to prevent bots. That's why they seem weird.

Illinois Cyber Crimes Task Force, and a number of state and local law enforcement agencies.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in
May 2006, by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation
and abuse. Led by the United States Attorneys' Offices and the Criminal Division's Child
Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local

Welfare Officer & Stage Manager
Edward Quekett is about to begin his third and final year of Art History at Trinity Hall. As the technical director and lighting designer of this year's tour, he is very much excited at the prospect of touring Japan - something that has appealed to him for quite a long time. He has been involved in a number of shows before this in a variety of roles (principally as Lighting Designer, Publicity Designer, Set Designer, or Technical Director) but never on a show quite as large as this. A keen interest backstage led him this far, and he hopes this prior experience will let his role proceed without too much drama while on tour!

Test Drive
A great way to connect with people around the church is by volunteering with them. Chestnut Ridge Church functions thanks to the diligent efforts of an army of volunteers. Whether they are on stage or behind the coffee bar or in the nursery, without each and every volunteer at CRC all the awesome events, moving services, and relevant teaching would not happen.
Do you want to help make it happen?
We know that volunteering can be intimidating, especially in a church. What if you don't like your new volunteer position? Are you going to get a guilt trip before you leave? What if you decide you would rather serve somewhere else?
That's why we offer the Test Drive experience. You have the opportunity to try out serving in an area of the church with no commitment. You can shadow someone and stay in the background or jump in and get your hands dirty. Your Test Drive experience will be driven by you.

Here is a roundup of alleged cons, frauds and schemes to watch out for.
Foreclosure rescue
A Seal Beach man has agreed to pay a $5-million penalty to resolve allegations that he operated a fraud that targeted homeowners, renters and banks. Terrill Meisinger agreed to pay the money to resolve a lawsuit filed against him by the U.S. attorney's office in Los Angeles. Federal attorneys had accused Meisinger of contacting people who were facing foreclosure and making small cash payments, typically $500 to $1,500, to them if they deeded their homes to him and moved out before banks completed foreclosure. Meisinger then transferred the titles to third parties, whose identities he had stolen, and filed bankruptcies that triggered automatic stays on foreclosures. While banks tried to assess what had happened, Meisinger rented the homes, raking in huge profits, the U.S. attorney's office alleged. From 2000 to 2004, Meisinger collected more than $1.5 million in rents without making mortgage payments on the properties, most of which were in Riverside and San Bernardino counties, the U.S. attorney's office said.

This article was originally posted yesterday afternoon.
Mayor Mike McGinn rolled out a proposal this afternoon to expand walking, biking, and transit use in the city today but did not propose any specific plans to fund it. Instead, he said he would hold community meetings to gauge what people's priorities are, update the city's Transit Master Plan, use existing city resources to fund biking, walking, and transit improvements, and prioritize alternatives to driving in the 2011 and 2012 city budgets. He also said he would do further analysis of light rail to Ballard or West Seattle.
Standing outside the Beacon Hill light rail station, McGinn told reporters to "wait until you see our budget before you say we're not going to fund it. We'll announce [a funding plan] when we announce our budget."The city faces a budget shortfall of about $120 million over the next two years, and McGinn has asked departments, including the Department of Transportation (SDOT) to identify cuts between 1.5 and 3 percent. A new group called Streets for All Seattle, many of whom flanked McGinn during his announcement (which also included an odd appearance by King County Council member Larry Phillips) wants the city to dedicate an additional $30 million a year to walking, biking, and transit infrastructure.
The biggest news out of today's announcement was that the city now plans to move forward with a "road diet" (essentially, removing one eastbound and one westbound lane, adding bike lanes or sharrows, and adding a center turn lane, as shown below) on West Nickerson St.
As I reported for The Stranger last year, those plans were put on hold after nearby businesses complained—predictably—that removing car lanes for bikes would create intolerable traffic, SDOT postponed the project indefinitely, saying it needed to analyze how the road diet would work with traffic to and from the north portal of the Alaskan Way deep-bore tunnel.
When I asked McGinn what had changed between now and then, he paused, then responded, "Well, number one, we have a new mayor." Then he said SDOT has completed it analysis of the traffic impact of the tunnel and found that "the road functions very well with through movements of vehicles as well as from a safety perspective" in SDOT's models.
After the press conference, I spoke briefly with SDOT director Peter Hahn, who pointed out that every time the city proposes road diets, residents and businesses predict that "the world is going to end," and it doesn't. Two weeks ago, Hahn and McGinn met with business leaders from Ballard and Fremont, and "to a person, they said road conditions were going to deteriorate. They said the same thing with Fauntleroy, they said the same thing with Stone Way, and it never happens."
And if the sky does fall? "It's completely reversible. It's just paint. It's not something where you're stuck forever," Hahn said.

Leak Detection
Leak Detection
Latest News
Contact Us
GWC's friendly and professional leakage survey technicians are trained to the highest standards and are backed by industry-recognised water qualifications. Furthermore, we have invested in the latest leak detection technology ensuring you get reliable, accurate results, every time.
Our main areas of expertise are:
Leak detection surveys
Trunk main surveys
Customer leakage surveys
Commercial leakage surveys
Flow monitoring and analysis
Leak detection survey
When you contact us with a suspected leak within a given area or DMA our technicians will conduct a full and thorough survey of the problem area. This will include checks on the integrity of the zone or area and a brief assessment of commercial consumption. We will then survey all mains and fittings with a leak noise correlator and traditional sounding techniques. We also use additional equipment such as ground microphones, hydrophones and gas injection when required. The exact method of survey and equipment used will depend largely on the pipe material, availability of fittings and the pressure in the distribution system.
Trunk mains survey
Trunk mains surveys are a vital part of any leakage control programme both in terms of water loss and the ability to supply and control the distribution network. However, the methods required for trunk mains leakage vary from our standard survey due to the distances and availability of fittings. We have investigated the various methods of survey and equipment in order to provide the most accurate auditable results. Upon completion of your survey, you will be given a detailed report including electronic files of all correlations completed, details of all leaks located, GPS and digital images of the surveyed fittings. All surveys are designed to provide a full audit trail for all works completed and are therefore, suitable for inclusion in your company's annual returns.
Commercial properties
The rising cost of water, leakage or excess consumption can put unnecessary pressure on your business, both in terms of cost and loss of supply. To alleviate these problems we can offer you a number of key services:
Leak detection
Leak repairs
Water audits
Water management strategies
Mapping and tracing
Domestic properties
Every one wants to reduce utility costs. At GWC, we offer a full leak location, repair and water efficiency package to domestic customers which can help to cut bills. Our friendly, professional technicians undertake repair work, relaying of services, laying of new services and all internal and external plumbing work.
Swimming Pools
Our extensive knowledge of cutting edge technology and methodology enables us to provide a full range of equipment and appropriate advice to locate leaks in swimming pools and associated pipe-work.
Gas injection
For hard to find leakage problems such as small leaks on non-metallic pipes, we offer fully equipped gas injection teams which provide services on a location only or find and fix basis. The teams are experienced in the repair of all pipe work from supply pipe to large diameter trunk mains.

By CHERIL VERNON
Palestine Herald-Press
Women who are interested in learning more about their car — such as how to check tire pressure and when and how to check their oil — are invited to attend a free car care clinic next week.
Bratz Tire Pros will host the clinic from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 17, located at 508 N. Elm St. in Palestine.
"We did this for the first time last year and had about 25 to 30 participants," Bratz Tire Pros Owner Joe Brooks said. "We fielded a lot of questions from A/C to brakes to tires. We try to give a simplistic approach to how things work and how important it is to know how it works."
Along with an open forum for questions, women will learn a variety of information about car maintenance including:
• How to check tire pressure
• How to measure the tread on tires
• Where to find the correct tire and size for your car
• What's under the hood
• When and how to check oil
• How brakes work
• Shock absorbers and struts
• Warning lights
• What items to have in your car if it should break down
• What regular maintenance is really necessary
Free refreshments and giveaways are planned.
"We will be doing giveaways throughout the event — free oil changes, flushes, rotating tires — O'Reilly Auto Parts has donated some things too," Brooks said.
After the class, Bratz Tire Pros employees will show each participant how to find things on their own car.
"We are just trying to help women learn about their car so they will feel better about it," Brooks said.
After attending the clinic, the attendees will receive 10 percent off any service.
"We may start doing these clinics quarterly or even monthly depending on how well it's taken," Brooks said.
RSVP to attend clinic by noon Wednesday, Jan. 16 or by calling 903-729-0121.

harry's back????
this just in from one of the lists....could we have harry back too???
During the RDA interview on the Vicki Gabereau Show (on Canadian TV on Oct.
12th), two clips were shown from Stargate SG-1.
One was from "Enemies" - the "excuse me, but I think we made it" scene on the
The second clip was from one of the new episodes we're waiting patiently (!)
for...(Possibly The Sentinel, going by the descriptions listed on StarGuide?)
The clip ran for 11 seconds. Here's a transcription:
Scene: Gas Station. Jack's Ford F-150 pickup (license appeared to be Q1B 636),
is parked facing the camera. Standing on the right side of
the truck is Jack (wearing a red/black checked shirt over a black t-shirt, and
blue jeans [YES!]), and standing on the left side is
Maybourne (bearded, wearing a black windbreaker, a light gray or blue pullover
shirt, and black pants).
Jack: (very angry and betrayed sounding) "I trusted you!" (Has both hands
clenched into fists, shaking them.)
Harry: "Come on, would I have come back here like this if I had done it?"
Jack: (still angry) "You might!"
Harry: "I swear, Jack."
Jack: "Well, then who did it?"
Harry: "I don't know."
Jack: "What DO YOU know?"
i just KNOW that there wasn't a gas station scene in desperate measures adn the 'i trusted you' could very well refer to jack thinking that harry's the one that shot him

Just seen this. Have to think some more on it.
Yes, Grieves and Tobias do die saving SG-1 and the planet. One person who doesn't is the guy Jack doesn't let go home -- I was absolutely sure that he would!
The Goa'uld attacking is not Anubis, it was something beginning with S. Jack has to ask Carter who it is. She says he is a System Lord. How many System Lords are there? They could only manage 10 around a table 3 weeks ago. Has Jack not been reading his intelligence?
The aliens reminded me of the kind of society Kirk would visit in the original Star Trek, controlled or defended by a mighty computer -- Totally unbelievable!

OK, this was on Sky One last night and so far only one post about it - could it be because everyone has the same queries I have
Like how did the sentinel machine KNOW who the enemies were ? If it was a Thor's Hammer kind of deal then WHY was Teal'c not affected
Anyone have any ideas
Also, these two renegades - were they actually in Shades of Grey cos I didn't recognise them, but maybe they were same characters/different actors or maybe my mind is turning to Jelly cos I will be 40 next Wednesday !!!!!

I'm surprised at the lack of posts too. Especially since there were lots of plot holes.
It is a good action-driven episode though!

Yeah, it was the way that all the Jaffa in the Sentinel Cave were zapped out of existence (or transported somewhere), BUT the SG people, including Teal'c were left untouched.
I agree it would certainly see the mothership as a threat, but how did it define between Jaffa carrying weapons and SG personel carrying weapons
Having said that I did enjoy the action stuff - Teal'c was in his element there wasn't he !
I guess at least the renegage operative did the right thing at the end when he realised what he need to do - but wasn't he a right git in the flashbacks we saw - ooh nasty nasty

my question is if Grieves worked the weapon just like the caretaker did then wouldn't he been alive still? The weapon worked with man and machine as they stated most likely Grieves identified which was friend or foe while it scanned the planet. I just wonder since the caretaker was always able to work it and never died then maybe Grieves was sent to another cave like thors hammer did and it also sent the jaffa to a underground prison or something.

it's possible that teh sgc folks were spared because they were inside the force field. one thing we've often seen with 'superior' tech is peoples' absolute faith and trust in it. it may have been beyond their comprehension that an enemy could get inside teh field. and in the past 300 years noone has. the jaffa have never stayed on the planet long enough to find the cave and figure out the code.
was teh goauld's name sparak? (sound on squinty vision isn't always the best)
and danny got teh line of the week 'yeah, which end do the bullets go in again?'....had me rolling.
some folks have been less than enthusiastic about this one but i liked it. nice mix of action and personal drama...little jack whumping, moral dilemma of a sorts.
my one big question...they knew jaffa were around...why did they apparently make no effort to hide their tracks? i mean by now there isn't a jaffa in teh universe that wouldn't recognize the lug soles on army boots and know they're tau'ri

How COOL were those missiles at the beginning that they shot through the Gate? That was totally awesome. They worked with the UAV to target Jaffa weapon locations. What a great invention. I wonder who thought of that one.
This ep had a good momentum to it. The continual action was great and it was good to see them off-world fighting Goa'ulds again. The focus seemed to be spread out over all of them, no one in particular was the feature SG1 character like it has been over the last few weeks.
Where was Clair Tobias? I though she was supposed to be in this ep? Instead we got grieves and that other woman, name started with a K but I can't remember it. I was looking forward to her and Sam being competitive.
I guess I have the same question as everyone else has already raised. Some things weren't pieced together very well. One other thing, what was the point of GH telling Tech Davis that grieves had shot 3 people with a weapon when he was escaping another planet? Was it supposed to let us know that the man is trigger happy or something? I didn't get that.
And lastly, what is it lately with these episodes all ending abruptly? The Jaffa disappear and then its the end. What happened next? SO many unanswered questions again. It's like they're trying to cram evrything and then realise they dont have enough time left so were just sort of left hanging there. It's getting annoying.
I agree with Sky, the line of the week definetly went to Danny.

LOL....... I would have posted my thoughts on this episode, but
1. I have been working until 9pm every night this week apart from the night the eppy was on
2. I was curious to see whether anyone else would post any thoughts, because for the last two to three eppys, it's been me that's put down what I felt and did a sort of review.
I have noticed that generally until you get people like Dave or Sky posting, the only comments which happen are things like.....
RDA is KEWL! (Is it just me or does the lack of spelling/grammatical ability in a lot of postings get up anyone else's nose?) or Didn't 'x' look hot in that episode..... or even worse the constant gushing about how the show, writers, producers etc can't do anything wrong, all episodes are wonderful etc etc blah blah.....
This episode had more plotholes in it than plot. I did notice that the M & M's were supervising producers though, which didn't give me a great deal of heart, since anything they do switches me right off. Like Shelby I totally agree that they are trying to stuff too much into episodes. The episodes are not clean cut. Half the time I spend it trying to figure out just why they're doing what they're doing and why they're doing it. Did anyone else buy the line about that young SG9 member being 'passed by' by the Jaffa because he was out for the count?
Either the Jaffa are getting even more inept or this medication is affecting me more than I thought! Like they would pass by him and not check for a pulse, given the often repeated desire by the System Lords to capture a live member of those pesky Tau'ri. Come on! This is suspending disbelief to the 'n'th degree in my book!
I too didn't understand why Grieves died. However, I imagine it would be to satisfy the viewers desire to see justice done...... American style. After all, he had been a baddie before..... Revenge not justice is the name of the game especially in the current climate of the real world. Personally I would have thought that the real and very poetic justice would have been for Grieves to be tied forever to the machine he tried to sabotage in the first place.... having to live like a hermit and on a planet light years away from home... miles away from the nearest bar or steak house. But hell.... he'd have been alive and not on death row.
There is no way that the death sentence would have been commuted..... and Stargate couldn't be seen on screen to justify terrorist acts going unpunished. It wouldn't be politically correct in the current climate of the US war on terrorism and the relevant advisers for MGM would have stamped on any attempt to do so immediately in case it offended viewers. I know from my friend who is such an executive with that kind of role in the US movie business that this does for a fact happen, especially with shows like Stargate which often mirror real events.
All in all, one of the more dreary episodes, but hey.... you got lots of SG1 time, so don't complain. And Danny got a good line..... let's hear it for good old Danny. And Jack got to do a lot of pointless facial twitching in the very beginning when he interrupted Hammond with the relatively unimportant posturing over his mission report. Something that a professional soldier and high ranking officer would NEVER do, no matter how good a relationship he considered himself to have with his commanding officer and he certainly wouldn't do it in front of subordinates.
Methinks the USAF adviser was asleep when this eppy was being shot. Of course I do realise that the facial twitchings and childlike behaviour along with the sarcastic comments are what endears this character so to many of the fans..... but they are no substitute for real acting. Something which RDA has yet to achieve in my opinion.
So there you are...... my review...sort of. And better late than never. Am I the only one who tries to induce some thought provoking discussion on these episodes?
come on guys..... let me have it....both barrels, straight between the eyes! I'm a roughie toughie soldier, I can take it!
:evil: :evil:
Incidentally, I think that the name of the System Lord was Svarnog..... at least that's what I thought he said and someone on another list agreed. Maybe he's one of the non cannibalism clan of System Lord and therefore wasn't invited for munchies on the space station. Tch tch and him a nasty Goa'uld too. You'd think he'd at least go with the flow wouldn't you? What's with this younger generation these days?

RDA is KEWL - just kidding anni
just saw this ep on squinty vision. i too thought the beginning was bizarre - did rda have gas or something?
my expectations are fairly low when it comes to stargate - it's mainly just an escape from reality for me and part of that is appreciating the scenery so i do have some sympathy for the "didn't character x look hot" set.
my husband is one of those ubergeek types who is constantly examining the philosophical nuances of EVERYthing but he doesn't like sci fi so stargate is my chance to be shallow

ROTLMAO.......Hee hee...... yes, he looked exactly as though he wanted to let a huge one rip out! Or possibly he was constipated, that thought crossed my mind too! I'm kind halfway between you and your hubby Gategeek. I don't look for all the nuances, but I don't have low expectations of the show either. However, although I can sympathise and totally understand your viewpoint..... I find it really sad that the show seems to be unable to inspire more than this, especially since it started out so promisingly.
I find it sad that it has denigrated itself to the point where enjoying the eye candy view and criticising the plot or lack of it is the only thing that strikes the viewers. I like my Sci Fi or shows in the like, to be thought provoking and subjects for debate. If I wanted eye candy I would go and watch the plethora of shows which provide this..... For me, actors don't have to be blindingly good looking in order to attract my attention. They just have to be able to act and further my interest in the show they are acting in. Out of the Stargate actors I have met, the most charming and delightful one was Tony Amendola, and he is far from good looking.

joe posted over on another forum that it was svarog, the slavic god of....something. <G> anyway he was at the summit. he was the blond late arrival wiht the woman slave. he was all dressed in black. i'd have to go back and watch for sure.
the slavic part makes sense because i thought the tattoos on his jaffa looked a lot like viking type dragon necks (i know vikings aren't totally slavic...but it's the right neck of the woods)
jack in the beginning did annoy me. he does anymore when he does his burping brain donor impression...but in the rest he actually was acting like i'd expect a colonel to act. you know, like he's smart enough to pour water out of his boot.
watch out for the ship fic from this one. anyone notice the parallel to upgrades? sam on one side of a force field, him on the other...one of them in mortal danger.
close enough to liven things up (although i don't think they will right now. since there is a season 6 then any ship resolution won't come for another year)
any guesses if marule is alive or if the jaffa toasted him? i know i've seen that actor before. anyone have any clues?
i read on another forum that kershaw used to be angie on FX which is where i thought i recognized her from.
i need to stick my SOG tape in and see if that control room shot really was there or not. i don't seem to remember it but i can't be sure.
i was also thinking, it's likely that grieves told the machine who to kill...but i also didn't get hammy's comment about the other planet. was it supposed to warn us that grieves was a cold-blooded sob? we already knew that by the way he treated the caretaker.

Ah yes...... I remember him. Looked like a tattooed blond biker type with blue markings on his cheeks and neck.
Yes, it was Jack at the beginning that irritated me too. But what irritates me more is that they have the character doing that and then behaving like a soldier as if to say. "Hey! Look guys, this colonel is a mean, tough guy who gets the job done, but is human too and can fool around!" I'd have more respect if they showed him in the officer's mess playing a hectic game of carpet bowls on his night off. (A typical officer's game played at Regimental Dinners which rapidly degenerates as the night wears on! I have seen some officers and SNCO's in quite some states during and after!).
Henry Gibson, who played Marule, is quite a well known character actor. But those old enough to remember Rowan and Martin's Laugh In would remember him from that. He always tends to play aggrieved ' put upon' little characters. But then he has that sort of face!
Oh yes.... the shippers will read much into the intense exchanges through the force field between St Sam and Paladin Jack!! All sorts of meaningful things will be construed, when in fact, all Sam was trying to do was communicate with Jack that there WAS a plan (of sorts).
This again was just a messy episode which desperately tried to tie together the loose ends of something which didn't actually need tying together in the first place. Strange how they seem to leave so many decent and promising unfinished storylines alone and try to bring together things which might well have been best left alone or that didn't really need any further clarification.
