      *thinks she's caught up with last night's posts*

      There's another Rob Cooper interview in the latest issue of TV Zone if anyone wants to peruse it and see if Sam even rates a mention. I don't actually buy any magazines anymore, just browse them in Smiths!

      Re: S6. Was probably my favourite. I loved Jonas and I'm not a Daniel fan so it was great for me I liked Sam, Teal'c and Jonas as a team and Jack, Janet and Hammond were still there. All was well in my SG world! I'm up to The Tok'ra pt2 in my S2 rewatching. Been having a break to watch some S6 West Wing and finish the first of that Josephine trilogy by Sandra Gulland [Very good, I'd recommend it.]

      Congrats to Minigeek on her 400 posts and counting

        Ok, so I was going back to my work but got distracted....but in a good way!

        Nick who was the DJ/tech guy at Gabit has put his Gabit photos online at his website. There are also his pics from other conventions on the site too, so check out the SG4 section if you want to see more of Amanda. I'm just checking through the SG3 and 5 ones to make sure there's none of me in there! [checked: am not on any of them ]

          What about the order of the words? Would they be in that order if someone said "Here kindness reins" in Latin? (Ack don't get me wrong, I'm really truly just curious to learn!!) - I know with French (waay back when I was learning) the order in which the words appeared in the sentence wasn't always the same as it was in English. Where's Daniel Jackson when you need him, darn it!


          EDIT-> 400!! I made 400 posts! Yikes! That's a lot of typing!
          As cafine has pointed out, in Latin it is common for the sentence structure to end with a verb.

          The 400th post has come and gone
          And 'tis a Royal Bean you've won!

              Well said, ChevronSeven.

              And as it's Remembrance Day over here, can I just add...

              To all the fallen men and women.

              They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
              Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
              At the going down of the sun and in the morning
              We will remember them.

                  Lovely tribute ... who is the author/poet? Winston Churchill?
                  Thanks, 1speed and Chevron, for reminding us of this today.

                    It's a verse from "For the Fallen", a poem by Laurence Binyon. The whole poem can be read here.

                      What makes you think I didn't compose it myself?

                      Seriously, it's the fourth stanza of a poem called "For the Fallen", by Laurence Binyon (1869-1943), and is often read aloud at Remembrance Day services as well as appearing on various war memorials.

                      I also rather like the original proclamation by King George V in 1919 when he established the two-minute silence which is observed in the UK at 11am every November 11th:-

                      All locomotion should cease, so that, in perfect stillness, the thoughts of everyone may be concentrated on reverent remembrance of the glorious dead.

                      It's just a pity that mankind never seems to learn.

                          Thank you and Parsifal for this information. The entire poem is quite powerful and moving.

                          I agree that, sadly, we have not seemed to learn a thing from the fallen of past battles and past times.

                            In Canada, it's called "Remembrance Day" too. The poem we all learn as children is Lt. Colonel John McCrae's, "In Flanders Fields".


                            In Flanders fields the poppies blow
                            Between the crosses, row on row,
                            That mark our place; and in the sky
                            The larks, still bravely singing, fly
                            Scarce heard amid the guns below.

                            We are the Dead. Short days ago
                            We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
                            Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
                            In Flanders fields.

                            Take up our quarrel with the foe:
                            To you from failing hands we throw
                            The torch; be yours to hold it high.
                            If ye break faith with us who die
                            We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
                            In Flanders fields.

                              To all the fallen men and women.

                              They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
                              Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

                              Samandans, your tributes moved me to include the words to Taps that is played at military tributes in the USA, esp on Veterans' Day (Nov. 11):

                              Taps

                              Day is done, gone the sun,
                              From the lake, from the hills, from the sky;
                              All is well, safely rest, God is nigh.

                              Fading light, dims the sight,
                              And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright.
                              From afar, drawing nigh, falls the night.

                              Thanks and praise, for our days,
                              'Neath the sun, 'neath the stars, neath the sky;
                              As we go, this we know, God is nigh.

                              Sun has set, shadows come,
                              Time has fled, Scouts must go to their beds
                              Always true to the promise that they made.

                              While the light fades from sight,
                              And the stars gleaming rays softly send,
                              To thy hands we our souls, Lord, commend.


                              For all the brave men and women we knew and never knew, rest in peace, and Thank You.

                              Just sayin'. Back later. (To hear the Taps music, http://www.scoutsongs.com/lyrics/taps.html)

                                Today is special to me as the daughter of someone who served in the Air Force, with a brother in law who's retired Air Force, several cousins who are Marines...one of whom died in Operation: Desert Storm. So a big thank you goes out from me to all who wear the uniform, who give of themselves and serve most honorably their noble countries around the world.

                                Okay so it's Veterans Day in the US and Remembrance Day in Canada...is this day celebrated elsewhere too? GB? France? If so, what is this day called there?
