THE DETAILS: Snake plants, spider plants, and golden pothos were selected for the study of houseplants and ozone because of their ability to remove hazardous indoor air pollutants. The plants were placed in chambers, into which the researchers pumped ozone at concentrations of 200 parts per billion (ppb). Then they measured how long it took for the ozone concentrations to drop to less than 5 ppb in those chambers, as well as in a separate chamber that had no plants, and repeated the experiment three times over the course of two months. All the chambers with plants reached the 5 ppb mark faster than the empty chamber, but the golden pothos chamber reached it first, followed by the ones containing the snake plant and the spider plant.
WHAT IT MEANS: When most people think about ozone, they think about the stuff outside that fills the air on hot, humid, hazy summer days, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency notes that levels of 110 ppb are high enough to lead to a spike in respiratory-related visits to emergency rooms. But that outdoor ozone doesn't always stay outside. It gets blown indoors, where indoor ozone concentrations can be nearly 80 percent as high as the levels outdoors. Ozone is also generated indoors by electronic equipment; one study found that laser printers can emit 30 ppb of ozone as they're printing documents. And ozone can be formed inside your home when you use paints or finishes containing VOCs, which create ozone as they mix with oxygen and sunlight. Indoor ozone can account for as much as 60 percent of your daily ozone exposure, according to a 2006 study published in Environmental Health Perspectives.
Fill your home with houseplants, and ozone levels will drop. Be mindful of these few tips:
• Bigger is better. "The more leaf area you have, the more detoxification takes place," says Dennis R. Decoteau, PhD, professor of horticulture and plant ecosystem health at Pennsylvania State University and one of the study's authors. Their houseplants and ozone study didn't compare the mitigating effects of plants by size, but he says they used plants that were the size of the average houseplant and fit into pots roughly 9" in diameter.
• Go with your personal preference. Decoteau notes that although golden pothos worked the fastest at removing ozone, the differences between it and the other plants were fairly small. Any of the three types will cut the ozone in your home to below-hazardous levels.
• Don't pay for your plants. Rather than shell out money for a houseplant at a nursery (where it may have been sprayed with pesticides), ask friends for clippings of their houseplants. Our Nickel Pincher, Jean Nick, offers advice on transplanting houseplant clippings.

This review is from: Kingston SSDNow V+200 2.5" 120GB SATA III Internal 7mm Solid State Drive (SSD) (Stand-alone Drive) KR-S3020-3H
Pros: Petty fast boot times and great for loading games etc.
Cons: Died today after months of random sketchy "insert boot devices" messages. Once this drive gets to about 80% capacity it starts to fail. (perhaps all ssd's do) I had to format and re-install at 80% capacity several times due to drive failure at near full capacity. Perhaps a full wipe and install wasn't necessary but it was my preference to keep it simple.
Other Thoughts: I'm really happy with the performance upgrades an ssd adds. I'm definitely going to buy another one, but most likely not a low end budget Kingston again.READ FULL REVIEW

By Drew Turney
Accurately described by film journalists at the time as 'Top Car', never was a cleaner carbon copy of a film ever made.
Particularly shameful is that every major player in the process – from star Tom Cruise to writer Robert Towne to producers Simpson and Bruckheimer to director Scott – had been involved in the seminal Navy flight school movie of a few years before.
No cliché from "Top Gun" is spared. The cocky young maverick, Trickle (Cruise). The skilled, mean nemesis (Rooker and later Elwes). The experienced father figure to which the lost hero must turn (Duvall). The civilian love interest who'd never be that attractive in real life (Kidman).
Coupled with a plot that lurches ungracefully from one hammered-together scene after another as well as the kind of off the cuff swearing Simpson/Bruckheimer made liberal use of ("Son of a bitch is on my ass!"), a very poor cousin to "Top Gun" and the film that made audiences realise they were being conned with the same high concept pitch time and again.
The only thing that does stand out is Randy Quaid, one of the best actors of modern times in that he plays a physically different character every time he appears on the screen.
Watch "Top Gun" instead, imagine racing cars instead of warplanes, and save yourself the $3 rental.
Blu-Ray Details and Extras
Whether you like the movie or not there's no denying that it, like "Top Gun", is a beautifully-made movie. It's bursting with colour (lots of orange though), detail, and sublimely captured panoramic shots of race-tracks. Its essentially prime-fodder for Blu-Ray.
Considering its 19 years old, the film still looks surprisingly good – and the print is near pristine. There's ample detail, good contrast and vibrant colour. Spare some background noise, it's actually quite amazing how great it looks considering its age. The audio track is also terrific – just wait til you hear the cars roar past you in beautiful TrueHD!
The only extra is a trailer for the film.

The Anglo-Irish Agreement
The British government has invited the Irish government to share in the burden of administering the troubled province of Northern Ireland. This is the unique invitation spelled out in an agreement signed on November 15, 1985, by the prime ministers of Britain and Ireland, Margaret Thatcher and Garret FitzGerald. If put into practice, this Anglo-Irish agreement will be the most important development in relations between the two countries since 1922, when the south of Ireland received independent dominion status as the Irish Free State while Northern Ireland remained within the United Kingdom.
The agreement represents a dramatic shift in Prime Minister Thatcher's position. During her first several years in office, she attached the highest importance to maintaining British sovereignty in Northern Ireland. In her first meeting with FitzGerald after he became prime minister in 1981, she remarked that she regarded the north as being "as British as Finchley," referring to her own constituency in the south of England. FitzGerald responded that Britain did not have thousands of troops stationed in Finchley, nor did it have a secretary of state in the cabinet for Finchley's affairs. One Irish official dubbed Mrs. Thatcher "the last true unionist."
The British prime minister was never more unswerving in her attitude nor more popular with Protestant unionists than during the hunger strike of prisoners belonging to the Irish Republican Army in the spring and summer of 1981. In retrospect, however, it can be seen that her hard-line management of that crisis set in motion a train of events that resulted in the November 1985 agreement.
Containing only 13 articles, the agreement is brief and bland. The vital clause states:
There is hereby established . . . an Intergovernmental Conference . . . concerned with Northern Ireland and with relations between the two parts of Ireland, to deal, as set out in this Agreement, on a regular basis with (1) political matters; (2) security and related matters; (3) legal matters including the administration of justice; (4) the promotion of cross-border cooperation.
Other articles make clear that cross-border cooperation is meant to be

what a delicious menu. food is always fresh. we love no. 22, the Tom Kha coconut soup with shrimp. located in a small strip mall on the southeast corner of Bell Road and 16th Street. ample parking. owners very nice and pleasant.
I ordered pad thai with the spicy level as spicy. I didn't knew that more spice means just plain simple red chillis...I couldn't even eat that...I had to drink plenty of water to eat just 1/3rd of the plate. The server should have told us. Moreover the service was not prompt -i need to get up on my own to...
We were planning to visit a mexican restaurant that was closed. We almost left but noticed this Thai restaurant next door. I had the curry noodles with chicken, and my sister had the mild curry paste with potatoes and carrots and chicken. It was very tasty. We were told the curry was mild, and a tad on the hot side....
We lived in Asia for more than fifteen years, so we know our Thai food. Krua Thai is the best value for money in Paradise Valley. Dishes are made to order, so you can specify mild, medium, hot, or Thai hot. We ordered the veggie rolls (crispy and not greasy), the summer rolls (fresh taste), masaman curry with chicken, and...

Krua thai needs newer and nicer building with an...
Very good good, great service. Servers care to explain their dishes, ensure customers are doing well. We enjoy eating there!
Just what the doctor ordered! A small, easy to miss Thai restaurant with really only one flaw, they don't take American express. This is a problem when you travel for work and have to use your corporate card. The red curry was amazing, a perfect blend of spices and textures to completely satisfy the palette. I went with the Thai...
Nice thai menu with a stream of customers for dining in and taking out. Curries, spring rolls and thai coffee.
We have been here several times for lunch now - the lunch special menu is reasonable and contains quite a few options...it's small and popular, so if you go at popular times, you have to be aware you may have to wait a bit....Service is efficient and quick, food has always been fresh and excellent, from the soup to entrees...
I always have done take out from this restaurant. Food always good and ready for pick up on time. Good value for money and great on the reheat next day. Owner and staff always friendly and polite

East Lyme — A Connecticut woman who spent 27 years in prison for the murder of a pregnant woman was released Friday — four years early — after state officials took the rare step of granting her clemency.
Bonnie Jean Foreshaw, now 66, thanked supporters and asked for forgiveness from the victim's family after walking out of York Correctional Institution.
"Leaving York correctional facility has been a goal and now it's a reality, and it still seems surreal," said Foreshaw, who plans to live with a granddaughter in Manchester.
Foreshaw was sentenced to 45 years in prison for premeditated murder in the 1986 shooting death of Joyce Amos in Hartford. Amos' fetus didn't survive. Foreshaw argued that she shot Amos by accident while defending herself against another person, a claim rejected by prosecutors.
Foreshaw is only the second inmate in a decade to have a clemency application approved by the Board of Pardons and Paroles. Her supporters, including author Wally Lamb, have sought her release for years, arguing that she should have been convicted of a lesser manslaughter charge. The clemency hearing last month was scheduled after a 1980s memo questioning the fairness of her trial came to light.
Chairwoman Erika Tindill said parole board members believe Foreshaw isn't a danger to the community and has rehabilitated herself by participating in prison programs such as mentoring and hospice care. Foreshaw had been scheduled to leave prison in four years with credits for good behavior.
Amos' relatives made emotional pleas to reject the leniency. "To lose a child, there's no hurt above that," Amos' mother, Betty Gibson, told the board last month.
On the night of the shooting, Foreshaw went for a beer at the Jamaican Progressive League club in Hartford's North End and got in an argument with Hector Freeman, after she refused to allow him to buy her a drink. The dispute continued outside the club.
Foreshaw said she fired what she thought was a warning shot with her .38-caliber handgun as Freeman made a threatening move toward her. A psychiatrist testified at her trial that Foreshaw suffered childhood and spousal abuse and was scared Freeman was going to hurt her.
Foreshaw's supporters say Freeman pulled Amos in front of him when he saw Foreshaw had a gun, using Amos as a human shield.
But prosecutors noted a Supreme Court decision that rejected an appeal by Foreshaw and found that she initially walked away from Freeman, then returned with the gun and shouted at Amos to get out of the way because she was going to kill someone. Foreshaw then fired the shot that killed Amos and her unborn child.
The parole board initially rejected Foreshaw's bid for a clemency hearing but later changed its decision based on a 1989 memo written by a public defender who told a supervisor he believed Foreshaw didn't get a fair trial because the trial public defender failed to present an effective mental state defense and to challenge a questionable confession.

His powers are TBD.
(submitted by Blaire)
It's not Tom Green. He competed in History Channel's Full Metal Jousting.
i was also thinking it looked a lot like tom green… and whether or not it is, this photo made me laugh so much!! ahh thank you pumpkin man whoever you are, for making scrolling through all of these pics for the last hour TOTALLY WORTH IT!!!! lmao
This so funny. Thank you Blaire for making me laugh so much, the first time in a week since my dad had to be admitted to hospital. It's been a rough week, but this photo of you in this hilarious pumpkin costume made my day! Cheers, N.
He's GOURD-geous!
The Great Pumpkin isn't what you think it is Charlie Brown….
That pumpkin stem placement makes me really uncomfortable.
I'm guessing he had a wife, but couldn't keep her.
I concur!
Thanks for the awesome idea for a nudist Halloween party that I will be attending.
mine will be stripped down to the bare minimum pumpkins
For the record by cod piece and pumpkin bra costume won the contest. thanks
I'm unsure what's more awkward: the direct gaze, or the fact that he has both a pumpkin bra and an aroused 'codpiece'.
This is the best* 'Sexy Pumpkin' costume I've ever seen.
Now THAT's one awkward photo! It took some creativity & cutting to make things fit. I'd say that he has too much time on his hands; but it's more accurate to say he has too much pumpkin on his hands…& legs & chest!. The "pumpkin bra" made me laugh…. but the funniest was that I Didn't see the WELL placed pumpkin "stem" until my 2nd look thru this!
Nice codpiece
Is this Dave Grohl?
I'm guessing (actor/comedian) TOM GREEN LOL
I thought the same thing, Sandy! I was going to comment about it, but wasn't sure anyone would know who Tom Green is.

I noticed Firefox getting janky not long after startup and discovered that TestPilot's remote-experiment-loader.js was monopolizing the main thread for about 600ms. From looking at the profile alone, it looks like the time is being spent opening a Zip archive and checking file mtimes.
Profile: http://people.mozilla.com/~bgirard/cleopatra/#report=3a3d37e58eacaa8ab13c723a75a31da1b5aa474c
TestPilot version 1.2.2
We should look into moving some of the I/O off the main thread. I'm told it's not currently possible to open archives off the main thread.
btw, should pass ".js$" into findEntries in http://email@example.com/modules/jar-code-store.js#53
Fixed by removing test pilot 1. Any new versions we integrate should not have this kind of problem.

'The Walking Dead' Season Finale
It's a cultural phenomenon. And whether or not you watch 'The Walking Dead,' tonight's season finale on AMC will draw huge ratings.
It's a cultural phenomenon. And whether or not you watch 'The Walking Dead,' tonight's season finale on AMC will draw huge ratings.
The ease with which we access TV becomes more ubiquitous every year, but some shows will always top out demand for piracy. Now, for the third year in a row, HBO's 'Game of Thrones' has topped TorrentFreak's annual list of pirated TV show downloads, though a few of the entries on this year's countdown might actually surprise you.
It's that time of the year, when pop culture websites and critics publish their annual Best Of lists and we heap praise on the best and most beloved movies and TV shows of the year. But what about the average moviegoer and TV-viewer? That's where Facebook comes in. The social media site has released their top 10 movies and top 10 TV shows of the year, based on the most discussed titled of 2014. While some are fairly obvious, the lists might surprise you and inspire you to contemplate the overlap between what's popular and what's actually good.
Cable televisions smash hit THE WALKING DEAD'S 5th season debuted last night on AMC and the millennial's were glued to the screen.
At last, our long national nightmare is over, and AMC's 'The Walking Dead' has finally returned with season 4 premiere "30 Days Without An Accident." Sure, there's our review and comic-to-TV comparison to dissect the episode, but why wait an entire week for fresh footage when we've got the first look at next week's tense "Infected" right here?
During this evening's panel for AMC's 'The Walking Dead' at New York Comic-Con, the creators finally announced who will be playing fan favorite characters Eugene and Abraham in the upcoming fourth season of the series. Joining the rest of the cast on the stage were Josh McDermitt, who will play Eugene, and Michael Cudlitz, who will play Abraham in an upcoming arc.
While AMC's 'The Walking Dead' companion series spinoff admittedly felt much more warranted than 'Breaking Bad''s 'Better Call Saul,' we still have relatively little idea what to expect from the 2015 spawning of the monster horror hit. And while details will be clamped shut tighter than a walker's jaw, series creator Robert Kirkman offered up a few new tidbits of 'The Walking Dead''s inevitable spinoff.
AMC's 'The Walking Dead' season 4 has begun its press blitz over the past week, releasing all manner of new photos and content from the upcoming run of episodes set to premiere on October 13. Among the new offerings, we've got a first look at a brand new trailer for the new conflicts at our beloved prison haven, and things aren't looking too good for fan-favorite Carol!
With 'The Walking Dead' season 4 due to premiere on October 13 with "30 Days Without an Accident," and spilling new photos and casting announcements all over the place, we'd been wondering if AMC had opted for a third web series tie-in to follow last year's "Cold Storage" and the previous "Torn Apart." Our questions have been answered, as October 1 will see the premiere of 'The Walking Dead''s latest tie in series "The Oath," again directed by executive producer and FX guru Greg Nicotero!
The inaugural two episodes of 'How I Met Your Mother' season 9 didn't give us as much insight into the final season format as we might have liked, though next Monday's "Last Time In New York" will likely feel a bit more familiar. As the 'HIMYM' gang nestles in for Barney and Robin's impending nuptials, "The Walking Old" puts everyone on edge, even leading to a shot at 'Homeland''s Mandy Patinkin in the latest preview!
'The Walking Dead' season 4 is nearly upon us, as the cycle of pain and horror starts anew for Rick Grimes and his group of survivors on October 13th premiere "30 Days Without An Accident." Before the big debut however, AMC has spilled out brand new photos from the premiere and beyond, as well as the first four episode descriptions of the season!
Not that we should be altogether surprised that AMC continues to grasp at straws following the imminent end of 'Breaking Bad,' 'Mad Men''s final season in the coming year, and the sputtering of 'Low Winter Sun,' but 'The Walking Dead' has officially spawned as well. AMC will develop a "companion series" spinoff to the monster drama focusing on a different corner of the zombie apocalypse, so what do we know thus far?

Just a year removed from a four-game suspension, Santonio Holmes will wear the "C" of a New York Jets captain this year, coach Rex Ryan announced on Saturday. It shows how far the wide receiver has gone in a short time, from a cheap trade for a fifth-round draft pick to a five-year, $50 Million contract -- great expectations.
Santonio Holmes
New York Jets
- Rec52

"Went from a rental to an owner," said Ryan. "We tried it out, and now he's one of us. I expect the last jersey he'll ever wear to be a New York Jets jersey, and we're extremely happy that he chose to come back. I see Tone as a guy that took the challenge that I gave him."
It's a mantle and perhaps a challenge for Holmes, who was not wanted by the Pittsburgh Steelers despite a Super-Bowl-winning catch that will live forever in highlight reels. He was seen as trouble, and in truth he would be suspended for a full season if he violated the NFL's substance abuse policy for a third time. But the Jets are not treating him like a risky acquisition, but rather as a mentor to the younger wides and a leader on the offense.
"I told him coach I'll take that responsibility any time," Holmes said.
There was no vote. Ryan named Holmes, Mark Sanchez, Eric Smith, Sione Pouha and Darrelle Revis as captains for the season, because of their leadership skills and what they mean to their squad. Although it was surprising to Holmes, he understood why Ryan would name him captain.
"The guys love me around here," Holmes said. "(I) made a big impact coming in here as a receiver and helping out the young guys as much as I could, and I know coach saw that as a leadership role."
Last season Holmes had 52 receptions for 746 yards and six touchdowns despite the four game suspension. He also had a knack for making critical catches at pivotal moments. It's a skill that doesn't show up on the stat sheets, but one that made him a more valuable free agent to the Jets than Braylon Edwards was.
Now, Ryan wants the 27-year-old Holmes to play out the string in New York. It's a far cry from playing for a Steelers team that tried to hasten his exit. Now all Holmes has to do is live up to the challenge.
"When you step on this field, it's a whole other ballgame," Holmes said. "You can't get any higher than being in the NFL, so why not push yourself to be the best at your position and everything that you do."

"Vegas, we're showing as the No. 1 bargain destination," says Bob Diener, president of getaroom.com.
Some hotels around the Las Vegas strip go for around $25 to $30 a night.
Diener says right-on-the-beach deals are out there for Miami and San Diego.

Find Fantastic Facebook Cake Recipes
There are a diverse number of cake recipes to be found on the great social media network affectionately known to all of us as Facebook. You can just start looking up cake recipes on a search engine and, later, when you get back to your Facebook page, you will immediately notice ads and tags for cake recipes. Most cake makers have Facebook pages and some of them offer Facebook Cake Recipes while some do not. Peruse the social media site for amazing cake recipes. Post a question to your friends asking if anybody knows a good page to go to.
Ultimately, to discover the best recipes for cakes on Facebook, you must get proactive. First, having an idea of what kind of cake you want. Largely, what you will initially come up with in your search are companies offering cake making services. You are not looking for this. You want the recipes so you can do it yourself and maybe even become good at it. Perhaps there is a side-business in your future and you don't know it yet.
Go to Facebook and type in "Cake Recipes" in the search field and search. If you do a little digging, you will discover all sorts of great cake recipes in the social media realm. Discover groups to join and share recipes of your own. Become part of communities of people who have some secret recipes they are itching to share with you. Much like the chocolate caramel fudge cake recipe featured on Facebook, as just now discovered by a writer.
Taking it to the Next Level
After a period of time working your way through all sorts of interesting recipes on the social media platform, you discover just how good you are at this art. With the groups you have joined, perhaps you found a new level of inspiration. Now you may want to take on more complex recipes and cake projects using Facebook Cake Recipes.
Start by looking at some of the professional sites and messaging them. Let them know you desire to learn more and ask them if they can point you in the right direction to learn new techniques, recipes and tricks on your own without having to attend cooking school. Spread the idea to friends you have made during your discovery of new and exciting recipes. Communication and network will far to help you become your own cake master chef, or at least a very good cake maker beloved by all your friends for this tantalizing talent.
The internet can take us in many directions rapidly in terms of learning and accumulating information. The nature of search formats also improves logical thinking with users who study a topic such as cake recipes. This pattern of inquisitiveness is useful for networking skills and pulling together all the ideas needed to perfect an inspiration. Who knows? Maybe you are destined to open up a cake shop or start a cake delivery service. Though there is no need to take your efforts so far, it would not be the first time Facebook has inspired such aspiration.

Culture Shock
By Steven Robert Allen
The best teachers eagerly admit how much they learn from their students. There's no shame in that. No one can be a teacher all the time. Sometimes you might be a mentor. Sometimes you might be an apprentice. On any given day, most people are probably a little of both.

Fountain of Tears
Ainadamar at the Santa Fe Opera
By Katy June-Friesen
Federico Garcia Lorca's belief in the poetry of the theater—and the emotional possibilities of art—have often become buried beneath his reputation as a political figure and symbol of freedom. When he was executed by the Spanish Fascists, Lorca at once became a martyr for political and artistic liberty.

Ralph Greene began his art career in New York and has spent the last 15 years making art in New Mexico. He is a longtime professor of art at TVI and a proficient navigator of the academic and commercial art worlds. His work straddles the line between figurative and abstract, relying heavily on the human form. On Friday, July 1, at 6 p.m., he'll give a demonstration and talk at the MoRo Gallery (806 Mountain NW) entitled "My Life in Art." For more information, call 242-6272 or go to www.moroart.com.
Book Review
How Offensive!
Review by Steven Robert Allen
The R. Crumb Handbook
Our culture is filled to capacity with oversensitive people who get outraged over every trivial infraction imaginable. Someone with too much time on his or her hands always seems to be getting frothed up over one ridiculous nonissue or another. If there isn't a big blow-up because the corner store doesn't stock the latest chipotle-flavored Doritos, there's some mass protest being organized because manholes are insulting to women, yellow cabs are offensive to Asians or the Pillsbury Dough Boy is a cruel affront to pasty, overweight, melanin-deprived white boys.

Author's Note: This is for all those who prefer a graphing calculator to an iPod. Let me know if you like it! Or even if you don't.
Valley of the Shadow
They stepped out of the Stargate and into an ambush.
It was a moist jungle region of the planet; lush vegetation clung to the sides of the ravine they had just entered. To the right of the Stargate rose a sheer hundred-meter wall, festooned with fragile orchids dangling their bright flowers in the air. Exotic ferns seemed to grow on the air itself, their light green leaping out in contrast to the shadowed wall. The other side of the ravine showed a gentler slope populated with trees, vines, and crumbling rocks. The jungle steamed as the sun tossed down the scorching rays that made the rim of the Stargate sparkle.
The beauty of the region and the heat struck the travelers instantly as they stepped through the gate.
So did the sense of impending danger.
Teal'c saw it first; they had barely been there five minutes, and were clambering up the left side with Daniel hot in pursuit of Ancient relics. From the moment Teal'c had arrived, there had been a small thought at the back of his mind, telling him that something was not right. He stopped to look around. Daniel was making his way steadily up the incline, with Cameron right behind him. Teal'c looked to the opposite side of the ravine; he saw nothing unusual. Then he looked up, up to the canyon rim, barely visible because of the blazing sun. Something moved, and then flashed. Teal'c barely had time to shout a warning before the jungle was soaked with enemy fire.
Uninhabited planet? Tell me about it, Cameron said to himself as he fired at - well, the enemy, presumably.
Unfortunately, he couldn't actually see any of them; he had no idea who was firing at his team and why. The same jungle that was providing him with cover was drastically obscuring his view. Not that it kept him from shooting back at wherever the weaponsfire had come from. He dodged a shot that had come uncomfortably close to his head. And he'd thought this mission would be boring.
He really should've known better; he'd read enough of SG-1's mission reports to know that standard assignments could easily turn catastrophic. But the MALP and aerial scans hadn't shown any signs of sentient life, and had provided some evidence to confirm the reports of a possibly Ancient lab. Those scans should have been able to detect a force of this size.
The enemy was well positioned and well armed, it seemed. Most of their light-blue bolts were coming from the opposite side of the ravine; Cameron and his team had to look into the sun and fire uphill at targets concealed in the jungle - and they could only guess where those targets actually were. To shoot from their position, all the enemy would have to do was look down, find a target, and shoot. It would only be a matter of time before they hit someone. And if they got impatient and had enough firepower, they could easily set the jungle – and everyone in it – alight. Neither of these possibilities was particularly appealing to Cameron.
SG-1 was outmanned and outgunned. And the enemy had the high ground. Cameron knew a desperate situation when he saw one, and unless something miraculous happened, SG-1 was either going to end up dead or captured. The enemy seemed to prefer dead; and Carter, the resident miracle-worker, was back at the SGC with a sprained ankle.
Cameron dove behind a boulder as a shower of staff blasts burned a hole through the large tree he'd been standing by a second earlier.
Yeah, he thought as he glanced up. We could use a miracle about now.
Daniel hated firefights. He was especially starting to dislike this one. He wasn't a military man, but he'd seen enough combat to know that in an encounter like this, someone was going to end up hurt.
Or dead.
At least Teal'c had been able to give them a warning. If he hadn't...
Daniel shuddered as he remembered the blast that had found the hillside just above his head as he'd ducked. He shuddered again as he leapt aside to avoid a similar shot, missed his footing coming down, and went sprawling down the slope. Five seconds later he slammed into a mossy sandstone rock. He silently cursed the pain as he extricated his arm from the underbrush.
At least he'd had the presence of mind to hold on to his weapon, and the rock had kept him from rolling all the way into the open. He checked his arms and legs. Nothing was broken, which was good news. Daniel took up a position behind the boulder and started shooting.
Wait a minute, his archaeologist's mind thought. What's a sandstone doing in a tropical jungle? He stopped firing for a second and looked at the rock again. He squinted, and ran his finger over the faint carvings, trying to make out the words. The writing was in Ancient!
They'd come in search of an Ancient laboratory; their chances of actually finding it weren't very high, but they were high enough for Carter to wish she could come along.
"But there's really not much good you can do us if you can't even walk," he'd told her at the briefing. She'd been working hard to convince General Landry that she needed to go.
"You're not going, Carter, and that's an order. My order, and the doctor's orders," Landry had told her.
She'd sighed, picked up her crutches and started out of the room with the rest of SG-1. "Don't touch anything!" she warned. "You don't know what might be out there, and I want everything intact when I get there!"
Cameron moved to help her negotiate the stairs down to the control room. "At your present rate, that'll take about a month," he said.
Sam glared at him. "Don't touch anything. Especially you."
"What do you mean, especially me?"
"You know what happened last time, and I just don't want my lab messed up. Daniel –"
"I was not aware that the laboratory was already in your possession, Colonel Carter."
Sam ignored Teal'c. "Daniel, if you find anything, make sure you read it carefully, and get everything on digital video for me, highest resolution possible, and I'll need the translations of course –"
"Yes, ma'am," Daniel sighed, and considered throwing her a mock salute. Sam hadn't been so bad in years. But he could almost understand why. "You just want to go play, don't you?"
She'd blushed. "No, no, a find like this could mean – well, imagine what this would do for our technology level–"
Cameron had laughed. "Don't worry, Sam, we'll find you some new toys."
She hadn't dignified that with a response.
Daniel squinted again at the faded writing, excitement growing as he deciphered it. It was a map, he decided, or a marker stone of some sort. If only people would stop shooting at him, he could find out what it led to; Daniel was sure it would be a big find, the tablet said it was a key of some sort…
As his hand moved to his radio, Daniel looked up.
That glance saved his life. Daniel scrambled sideways just in time to avoid being blown to bits.
The rock, however, hadn't shared his good fortune. Daniel stared sadly at the remnants of the sandstone boulder. Another priceless archaeological find destroyed by war.
Teal'c had gone farther up the slope than the others, trying to discover who or what was firing at them. He had reached a small plateau, populated with a few thin trees and lots of underbrush and insects, when he heard Cameron's voice on the radio, calling for them to regroup. Teal'c suggested his location; for some reason, there was something about it that alerted his warrior's senses. Their situation was dire, but maybe there was a way out of this trap after all...
There was a pinnacle above the ravine wall, and a small, unnaturally lighted part of it caught Teal'c's eye. Teal'c couldn't figure out what it was. It was not artificial light, and it only illuminated more jungle. But somehow it triggered his instincts and he knew that in some hidden way it was a key to their survival.
But how? he asked himself.
He could think of no answer.
Then Cameron arrived, breathing heavily and limping slightly. He leaned on a small tree for support, the sun projecting his shadow onto the ground in front of Teal'c. Teal'c shifted his staff weapon and aimed for the edge of the ravine, then stopped.
A series of images suddenly flashed through his mind.
The pinnacle. The sun. The glint he'd seen that had first alerted him to danger. The level ground. Colonel Mitchell and his shadow. The staff weapon. A way of escape…
"Colonel Mitchell, stand still." Teal'c reached into one of his pockets and took something out.
He started to work.
Daniel crashed through the thick foliage, headed, he hoped, to where Teal'c and Cameron would be. He winced as he tripped over a hidden root. The collision with the artifact had left him sore, and not just because he'd been deprived of a discovery. Looking ahead, he could see where the trees thinned a little and the ground leveled. Was this the place Teal'c had mentioned?
Daniel stumbled forward, and let out a sigh of relief when he broke through to the slight clearing.
Then he drew in his breath sharply when he saw Teal'c, his staff weapon raised towards Cameron, who was standing stiffly, eyeing the weapon in disbelief.
Daniel stepped backward, trying to collect his whirling thoughts. What was going on?
Then he saw a small device in Teal'c's hand, and leaned forward for a better look. A small smile started across his mouth as he thought with amusement,
Cameron straightened and stared at Teal'c. His eyes fastened first on the raised staff weapon. He blinked, puzzled. Teal'c wasn't going to shoot him, he knew, but what was he going to do? The Jaffa wore a look of intense concentration, but Cameron couldn't imagine what he was focusing on.
Cameron studied Teal'c's face, and in the corner of his eye glimpsed Daniel coming up behind Teal'c.
Cameron's eyes traveled down to the thing Teal'c was holding. It looked terribly familiar, but he couldn't place it.
Suddenly understanding dawned, and he had to try hard to hold back a smile. "Is that a calculator?" he asked.
"Indeed it is," replied Teal'c, in a tone Cameron interpreted to mean, Of course, you idiot.
At that, he had to grin.
Teal'c had always liked mathematics, even as a small child. Unfortunately, the Goa'uld had a very rough educational system, and even a willing student could find it hard to obtain support for his academic goals. So when Tea'lc had come to Earth, he'd been amazed at the complex mathematics the Tau'ri used. He had resolved to study them in his spare time.
But because his line of work was saving the world, Teal'c did not have much spare time.
It was only recently that he'd been able to pursue his hobby. He'd spent his first five years at the SGC finding out everything about Tau'ri military capabilities and tactics in his free time. Then he had studied all the information available on alien military science. Only after this did he feel able to take time for math.
It was Sam Carter who had taught him most of what he knew, though he had started with textbooks bought from local universities. Sam had never mentioned the lessons to anyone; Teal'c suspected that this was because she simply assumed that everyone was as interested as she was in higher mathematics. Still, he was glad that O'Neill had never heard about this particular pastime of his.
Teal'c's favorite subjects were trigonometry and multivariable calculus. At the end of a long day, he liked to take out his giant book of math puzzles and solve a few problems. He liked the way he could manipulate the numbers, how a pattern eventually emerged and made everything seem so simple. It was nice to know that every problem had a solution.
And whenever Teal'c came to a tough spot, he had his calculator to help him.
It was a special calculator; it had been Carter's before she had swapped it for a miniaturized computer. It was full of programs she had written for almost every situation imaginable. Teal'c remembered seeing her use it on innumerable occasions on other worlds, to help her with whatever scientific activity she happened to be engaged in.
And now Teal'c was using it for a different purpose, to solve a different kind of problem. If the numbers worked out, they would live.
If not, they would die.
Cameron was trying hard to reconcile Teal'c and math. But somehow it was difficult to picture Teal'c, a pencil behind his ear, sitting at a desk piled with scrap paper covered with scribblings. Cameron knew a lot of people with hobbies that seemed incompatible with their jobs - he himself was a bit of a musician - but Teal'c and math?
Cameron knew it was no laughing matter; when he looked at Teal'c, he could sense the intensity with which he worked. Teal'c was working on a solution to their problem, a problem that Cameron could clearly see in front of them. They were standing opposite an enemy horde, separated only by a small canyon and a few scrawny trees. At most, it would be two or three minutes before the enemy discovered them. The only chance they had was in the cold, impersonal world of mathematics.
The numbers didn't care what happened to them.
A bead of sweat rolled down Teal'c's face. He forced himself to ignore the sounds of weaponsfire and concentrate.
The light. It was a reflection off of a metal surface. The glint he had seen told him that it came from some sort of building. He had to find out exactly where it was.
Teal'c looked at his watch. Like all of SG-1's watches, it was far from ordinary. Sam Carter had modified it so that it automatically computed the local time and date, as well as a number of other useful things, such as oxygen content of the air, air pressure, and the local gravitational acceleration. Right now, Teal'c only needed the time.
It was three hours forty-seven minutes after local noon. From his knowledge of astronomy and trigonometry Teal'c calculated the sun's declination. So far, so good.
Judging from the way the sun was shining, the reflection could only have come off of a slanted surface - like a roof. Now he needed to know exactly how high up on the pinnacle it was. Teal'c knew how high the sun was in the sky, and he knew Cameron Mitchell's height to the centimeter. Taking his current position to be at the height of zero, Teal'c used similar triangles to find the reflection's height. A little more manipulation gave him the Cartesian coordinates of the object the light had reflected off of.
He stared at his calculator. According to the numbers, the object was four and a half meters from the edge of the ravine. But that couldn't be right; Teal'c was certain that he had seen something on the edge of the ravine.
Taking a few precious seconds, Teal'c considered. He knew he hadn't made any mistakes. There had to be something he was overlooking.
Daniel watched his friend anxiously. It was a little odd, actually; he was used to staring over Sam Carter's shoulder, eyes glued to her computer screen as she rushed to complete a program in time. Now he was watching Teal'c, again not understanding exactly what was going on, but desperately wishing that there was something he could do to help.
At the same time, Daniel was keeping an anxious eye on the weaponsfire. There had already been several near misses, and he feared that it wouldn't be long before the blasts found their marks. He crouched down, taking a defensive position near Teal'c as he watched the Jaffa's face and breathed a silent prayer.
Teal'c closed his eyes, trying to think clearly. He shoved down the part of himself that was berating him for wasting precious time.
The pinnacle. The reflection. The glint. Four and a half meters.
He felt a rush of uncertainty; this was something totally out of his area of expertise. Sam should be here to do this. She knew more about this than he ever would, and she wouldn't make mistakes. Teal'c was confident in his abilities as a warrior, but he was just an amateur mathematician. For a moment he experienced what it was like to be Carter, and he felt a rush of sympathy for her. He'd never really understood what it was like before, to rely on the distant scientific world for answers to life-threatening emergencies. To be in a situation where there was nothing he could do, where if the laws of science said they must die, they would die, and there was nothing he could do about it, nothing at all…
Teal'c sucked in a deep breath, trying to quell the unfamiliar feelings. A part of him wanted to cry out in anger and frustration; he pushed it down, and instead it came out as a tiny plea in the back of his mind, asking for someone, anyone, to help.
He exhaled slowly, trying to clear his mind. Instead all he could think of was an something he had read once, in one of Daniel's books on Earth: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil, for Thou art with me. Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me...
Of all the times to think of ancient history! He'd been around Daniel too much.
And then Teal'c saw it.
Valley. Shadow. Rod and staff...
He could have laughed; it was so obvious. The sun was positioned so that the right side of the valley had been in shadow when they had come through the Stargate. Looking up, Teal'c had only been able see the glint because came from something projecting slightly over the canyon rim, enabling it to catch the sun. Climbing up the angled left side while looking at the still-shaded right side, Teal'c had failed to see all the similar projections like it.
There were no people shooting at them; the blasts originated from an automated system, most likely controlled by the building that had reflected the sun's light onto the pinnacle. It had probably been built a long time ago – maybe even by the Ancients, to protect whatever was on the planet. Since then, the weapons on the left side of the gorge had been buried under rock and earth slides. When SG-1 had left the vicinity of the Stargate, they must have alerted the system.
Now, how to destroy it?
Teal'c took up his calculator again. He called up a program for projectile targeting and started entering values for wind speed and direction, altitude, gravitational acceleration, and the location of the target. The program would tell him at what angle he should aim his weapon. Now Teal'c only needed one more thing.
Teal'c's staff weapon had been specially modified only the week before. He had wanted a way to carry a portable rocket launcher as well as his other weapons. Carter had looked at his staff, done a little work, and given it back to him. One end was now a customized rocket launcher. But it only had one missile.
He knew exactly how much force the rocket was launched with. He keyed the number into the calculator.
In less than a second, Teal'c would know whether or not his work had been in vain. He knew the odds; it would be a miracle if all the numbers worked out.
A single number appeared on the calculator screen. Teal'c's heart leapt when he saw it.
It was a real angle.
And it was between zero and ninety degrees.
Teal'c quickly lined up the angle, this time using the length of his staff and of Mitchell's shadow to find the right one.
The weaponsfire was raining down with a vengeance now; the system had found them. Out of the corner of his eye, Teal'c saw Daniel and Cameron duck for cover as the blasts closed in. Daniel was shouting something, but Teal'c didn't hear a word.
Teal'c's whole world was concentrated around his staff weapon. A sudden breath of wind brushed through the trees; Teal'c ground his teeth in impatience while he waited for it to die down. Vaguely he was aware of the shouts from Daniel and Cameron, telling him to take cover. He could feel the blasts impacting the trees and ground around him; he saw that the plateau was turning into a veritable hell, he saw Cameron Mitchell fall to the ground, he felt a scorching heat graze his shoulder.
Teal'c kept his staff steady, and waited.
The wind died down.
Then he fired.
"So, does this mean that I'll have to call you "Dr. Teal'c" from now on?" Cameron asked as SG-1 left their mission debriefing.
The corner of Teal'c's mouth lifted in a slight smile as he replied, "Indeed."
Sam laughed. Teal'c was one of the humblest people she knew, but she had heard the pride in his voice at the compliment. Teal'c was her favorite student, her protégé, and she was incredibly proud of him. "Who would've ever thought that our little after-hours lessons would lead to this?"
She turned to Teal'c. "When you told me how you did it, I wouldn't have believed you if I hadn't taught you myself."
"And why is that, Colonel Carter?" Teal'c asked.
"Sam, I think you just insulted his intelligence, " Daniel said, smirking.
"Daniel!" Sam glared reproachfully at the archaeologist, then considered. Maybe that hadn't come out exactly right. "You know I don't mean it like that, Teal'c – don't you?"
"I understand, Colonel Carter."
"The setup of the problem was excellent, and the way you immediately identified the variables was great. I wouldn't even have known how much force it took to launch that rocket, especially to the third decimal place! And then the whole situation - and the way everything came out exactly right - that's just a one-in-a-billion chance!"
"Well, if you want to talk about probabilities, what were the chances that the thing that hit Cameron just grazed him enough to knock him out but didn't kill him?" Daniel asked. "I suppose you could attribute it to dumb luck, but..."
Cameron shot him a look, but it was softer than usual because he was glad to be alive.
"Well," Daniel conceded, "I guess luck really had nothing to do with it."
"I believe you are correct, Daniel Jackson."
They continued down the hallway together in thoughtful silence.
Teal'c followed Daniel down the passage to his lab. "Daniel Jackson, while I was performing the calculations, I recalled a segment from one of your books which helped me considerably."
"Yeah, that happens to me a lot. I'll be in the middle of something really important, like trying to stay alive, and all I can think of is old sayings and strange inscriptions... " Daniel looked up at his friend's face.
There was a brief pause. "Sorry. So, what was it?" Daniel prompted.
"It was certainly was fitting to our situation." Teal'c's voice grew deeper as he quoted, "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death -"
"The twenty-third Psalm," Daniel interrupted. Then he stopped to consider. "Valley of the shadow... you're right. Interesting..."
"Are you familiar with the rest of the saying?" Teal'c asked.
"It's not a saying, it's a Psalm, a hymn of praise," Daniel explained. "Let's see...
'Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil, for Thou art with me. Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me. Thou preparest a table for me in the presence of my enemies; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.'"
Teal'c bowed his head.
Cameron slowed his pace to stay with Sam as they headed towards the elevator.
After a while, Sam spoke. "Cam..."
"Do you go back to the Academy anymore?" she asked.
Two nurses hurried past, and disappeared around a bend.
"There's some special places there."
Cam nodded. "The chapel."
They turned a corner.
"Every once in a while, I like to go back there..."
Cameron understood. He finished her sentence for her. "To say thanks."
