Sci Fi Delays Stargate Until April, Season 10 and Season 3 Return Late for Second Half

God, this pisses me off. The Networks seem to do this all the time, why would you want to have People waiting so long for the shows to end? I think the pattern is set, look at what they do every year with LOST, still have to wait another month. 

According to TV Guide, the Sci Fi Channel has delayed the second half of the current seasons of Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis until April 2007. Previously, the shows had been scheduled to return in March, but that was already a delay from the usual January debut.

Other countries will have completed their run of the current season before viewers in the United States see the mid-season return of the show

 

The new way to cough and sneeze

New Public Health Angency of Canada health advisory:

Raise your arm up to your face to cough or sneeze into your sleeve.

 (What happens when you wear a T-shirt?)

Saw this skit on the Rick Mercer Report and found it very funny and then had to look it up and loll and behold here it is: Cover up when you cough or sneeze.

I just hope that your sweaters will get whased regulary…

 

Facial Armor Rears Its Ugly Head

No matter how many times soldiers and marines say they’re not interested, there’s always someone trying to wrap them up in heavier, hotter, more uncomfortable armor.

Reader AS points to the latest culprit: MTek Weapon Systems, which is pushing Stormtrooper-esque “facial armor” for our troops.

The mask weighs 1.3 pounds, is compatible with ballistic eyewear, and will stop a bullet from a .44 magnum. So far, there seems to be one marine corporal using the thing in Iraq. We’ll see if more emerge.

But I am preety sure i have seen this in the gaming franchises or in a japanimation?

Safety of infant car seats

This is so frustrating.

 Why would  the government obligate the use of infant seats when there own safety test ratings are based on a Maximum of 58 KM/hrs. That is so ridiculous.

Secondly, how come that most of the car seats that do not make the cut are still being sold?

I trying to find the mortality rates in the 70’s compared to today, just curious how many car seat related death today compared to when we where in our mothers arms while driving at 100 Km/Hrs

Food for thought

LLOYD ROBERTSON: We turn now to a topic of prime concern to the parents of small children, infant car seats. Though approved by federal regulators they may not be as safe as we think. In fact, of 12 seats it tested, “Consumer Reports” magazine recommended only two. The magazine tested the seats at higher speeds than the regulators require. More from CTV’s Denelle Balfour.

DENELLE BALFOUR (Reporter): This expectant mom went to the experts to make sure her new car seat would be properly installed.

AUDREY HUOT (Expectant Mother): It’s a little overwhelming when you start reading, especially it’s our first baby, being pregnant and being prepared for everything.

BALFOUR: She’s not alone.

CONSTABLE BARB RYAN (Toronto Police): Parents come in droves to see us because it’s so important the safety and welfare of their children.

BALFOUR: But new rigorous crash tests by consumer reports in the US concluded that 10 out of 12 popular infant seat brands don’t provide adequate protection.

RYAN: It’s going to bring questions to the regulatory bodies. It’s going to bring questions to the car seat manufacturers.

BALFOUR: The rear-facing infant seats were tested at speeds of 56 kilometres an hour, faster than government testing standards in the US and Canada. The worst performer, the Evenflo Discovery.

DON MAYS (Consumer Reporter): We found, actually, quite a few failures. In fact, most of the seats that we tested didn’t perform well.

BALFOUR: The testing shows infant seats flying off their bases on impact or twisting violently. “Consumer Reports” wants the Evenflo recalled. Its manufacturer disagrees.

ROBERT MATTEUCCI (Evenflo CEO): We unequivocably(sic) stand behind the safety of the Discovery car seat based on over 200 independent tests.

BALFOUR: The two seats that did do well were the Graco Snug Ride and Baby Trend Flex.

MONICA GUPTA (Mother): The fact that there is only two that are, that have passed this test is absolutely ridiculous. It’s shocking and frightening.

BALFOUR: Still, there are numerous brands to choose from and half of those tested by “Consumer Reports” are not available in Canada. The two good ones are.

RYAN: What we’re looking for is that there is no shaking.

BALFOUR: The experts say despite the tests the safest place for a child is in a car seat.

RYAN: This is the best system we have for protecting your child at the time of crash.

BALFOUR: And the most important thing is to make sure it’s correctly installed and the child is properly belted in. Denelle Balfour, CTV News, Toronto.

Lego StarWars

I have to admit that the funnest game I have ever played, has to be the Lego StarWars Trilogy (episodes 4-6).  It seems to incoporate all the gamers needs within this game. My Son, Daughter and myself cannot get enough of this type of game. I was so sad when I finished the first Lego StarWars, but then that day, traded in all of my other games to by the 2nd Lego StarWars. The first game was hard, took a while to figure out what everybody does, but once you get the hang of it, it’s just a great deal of fun. The second game is not as hard to play, but in the most part, it is very hard to find the kits to finish the levels (will need many trips to the same levels and use all of the characters). But what I found was the best from this game was the comedy. Yes this game is so F#%@ing funny, it is hilarious. I would reccomend either game for a Christmas Gift have fun and enjoy
