Vigil of the Princes
See, I knew that already. Despite having never watched before "Stargate: Atlantis" I kept having this sense in my mind for a long long long long before here in this galaxy far, far away that the actress Phoebe Cates was involved somehow in the production of the 1994 film "Stargate." As for precisely her role I have absolutely no conscious awareness. I just sense something.

Vigil of the Princes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Vigil of the Princes is the unofficial name given to two occasions when male members of the British Royal Family have stood guard during the lying in state of one of their relatives during a British State Funeral.
Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother
The Prince of Wales, the Duke of York, the Earl of Wessex and Viscount Linley took guard at 16:40 UTC on 8 April 2002 at the lying-in-state of their grandmother, Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother

Charles returns for second tribute
The Prince of Wales returned to Westminster Hall to pay a personal tribute to the Queen Mother, hours after sharing a silent vigil with her three other grandsons.
Prince Charles slipped quietly into the hall and stood on the VIP dais to look over his grandmother's coffin, at around 2300 BST on Monday.
Dressed in a black suit and black tie, he spent around 20 minutes in sombre silence.
Earlier, Princes Charles, Andrew, Edward and the late Princess Margaret's son, Viscount Linley, stood around the four corners of her coffin.
It was reminiscent of another royal vigil, on the same spot at Westminster Hall, for King George V in 1936.
The Prince of Wales wore the dress uniform of a Rear Admiral and the Duke of York that of a Royal Naval Commander.
The Earl of Wessex, who left the Royal Marines, and Lord Linley, who also does not hold military rank, were clad in black morning coats.
Other members of the Royal Family stood in the background as the grandsons took their positions around the 7ft-high catafalque, past which more than 100,000 public mourners have filed.
Family presence
The flow of public mourners was briefly halted as the grandsons took their places.
Other Royals present included Charles's sons Princes William and Harry, the Princess Royal and her husband Timothy Laurence, her son Peter Phillips and Sophie, Countess of Wessex.
Prince Charles's companion Camilla Parker Bowles was also there.
At the end of the grandsons' vigil they were replaced by four members of the Queen's Bodyguard of the Yeomen of the Guard.
The Duke of Kent and his family later paid their respects in Westminster Hall.
The grandsons' 20-minute vigil came just before the Queen addressed the nation in a special television and radio broadcast which was recorded earlier in the day at Windsor Castle.
She paid tribute to her "beloved mother" and said she had been deeply moved by the outpouring of affection from the nation.
'Magical grandmother'
The Queen Mother enjoyed an extremely close relationship with all her grandchildren, who have spoken moving of their "wonderful grandmother".
The Prince of Wales said she had served the UK with "panache, style and unswerving dignity" for nearly 80 years.
"Somehow I never thought [her death] would come. She seemed gloriously unstoppable, and ever since I was a child I adored her," he said in an emotional TV address last Monday.
"She was quite simply the most magical grandmother you could possibly have and I was utterly devoted to her."
Prince Andrew echoed his sentiments saying: "We each had an individual and unique relationship with our grandmother. She was very, very special."
Prince William and Prince Harry have also paid warm tributes to their great-grandmother's sense of fun.
The princes said the Queen Mother "had a young sense of humour", even impersonating Ali G at a family dinner.
The Queen's message has set the tone for Tuesday's Westminster Abbey funeral service which, although a sad and solemn occasion full of pageantry, is an opportunity to celebrate the Queen Mother's 101 years.
More than 500,000 people are expected to have paid tribute to her by the time she is finally laid to rest early tomorrow evening at Windsor, alongside the body of her late husband King George VI and the ashes of her daughter Princess Margaret.

The Galileo Seven
Stardate: 2821.5
Original Airdate: Jan 5, 1967
Captain's Log, stardate 2821.5. On route to Makus Three with a cargo of medical supplies. Our course leads us past Murasaki 312, a quasar-like formation, vague, undefined. A priceless opportunity for scientific investigation. On board is Galactic High Commissioner Ferris, overseeing the deliver of the medicines to Makus Three.
[Bridge]
KIRK: Captain to shuttlecraft Galileo. Stand by, Mister Spock.
FERRIS: I remind you, Captain, I'm entirely opposed to this delay. Your mission is to get those emergency medical supplies to Makus Three in time for their transfer to the New Paris colonies.
KIRK: No problem, Commissioner. And may I remind you that I have standing orders to investigate all quasars and quasar-like phenomena wherever they may be encountered. Besides, it's three days to Makus. And the rendezvous doesn't take place for five.
FERRIS: I don't like to take chances. The plague is out of control on New Paris. We must get those drugs there on time.
KIRK: No problem. Captain to Galileo. All systems cleared for take off.
[Shuttlecraft]
(The NCC1701/7 is in the hangar bay preparing to launch.)
SPOCK: Power up. All instruments activated. All readings normal. All go.
[Bridge]
KIRK: Launch shuttlecraft.
(The curved doors at the stern of the engineering deck open, and the little vessel heads out into space)
[Shuttlecraft]
MEARS: Readings normal. Acceleration normal. Phase one separation normal.
SPOCK: Position?
LATIMER: Three point seven. Sir, I
SPOCK: Make up your mind please, Mister Latimer.
LATIMER: Sir, this indicator's gone crazy.
BOMA: That's to be expected, Mister Spock. Quasars are extremely disruptive. Just how much, we don't know.
SPOCK: Considerably, Mister Boma.
MEARS: Mister Spock, radiation is increasing.
SPOCK: Stop forward momentum, Mister Latimer.
LATIMER: I can't, sir. Nothing happens.
SPOCK: Galileo to Enterprise. Galileo to Enterprise. Come in, please.
BOMA: Ionic interference, Mister Spock.
MCCOY: We're being drawn right into it.
SPOCK: Galileo to Enterprise. Galileo to Enterprise. We are out of control, being pulled directly into the heart of Murasaki three one two. Being hit by violent radiation on outer hull. Course three point two five
[Bridge]
KIRK: Anything at all?
UHURA: Nothing clear, Captain. Just a few words about being pulled off course.
KIRK: Try and get me a fix on the Galileo.
SULU: Scanners are blank, Captain. We're getting a mass of readings I've never seen. Nothing makes sense.
(Kirk switches on Spock's science computer)
COMPUTER: Negative ionic concentration one point six four times ten to the ninth power metres, Radiation wave length three hundred seventy angstroms. Harmonics upward along entire spectrum.
FERRIS: What is it, Captain?
KIRK: That thing out there has ionized this complete sector. None of our instruments work. At least four complete solar systems in the immediate vicinity. And out there somewhere, a twenty four foot shuttlecraft, off course, out of control. Finding a needle in a haystack would be child's play.
Captain's Log, stardate 2821.7. The electromagnetic phenomenon known as Murasaki Three Twelve whirls like some angry blight in space, a depressive reminder that seven shipmates still have not been heard from. Equally bad, the effect has rendered our normal searching systems useless. Without them, we are blind and almost helpless.

INT—PUDDLE JUMPER
[The team look out the view-screen as Sheppard pilots the craft.]
SHEPPARD
Anything look familiar to you, Teyla?
TEYLA
No. I do not believe this is a world I have visited before.
FORD
Without landmarks how can you tell?
TEYLA
It is difficult by air, but every world is unique in its own way.
MCKAY
I've read a lot of reports from SG teams on missions like this one. Specifically, the mission reports of Colonel Samantha Carter. She and I worked together to avert global catastrophe a few years back. She and I…ay-yi-yi. Anyways, what was I saying?
FORD
Mission reports…
MCKAY
Right, well, apparently, there's remarkable similarities between worlds that support life. It makes sense, really. For example, the color of the sky is just a product—
[The ship shudders.]
MCKAY
What was that?
FORD
Turbulence?
SHEPPARD
It seems to be okay now. I wonder what that was.
[He brings up the HUD on the view-screen. McKay looks at the readings.]
MCKAY
I'm getting seriously conflicted readings. It looks like some sort of powerful energy field about two thousand yards over there.
SHEPPARD
Over where?
MCKAY
Uh, 18 degrees from our current heading.
SHEPPARD
You think it's worth checking out?
MCKAY
Any significant energy emission generally indicates technological civilization.
SHEPPARD
So…you think it's worth checking out?
MCKAY
(annoyed)
I'm sorry, yes. Energy field good.
[The ship shakes again/]
MCKAY
Maybe not.
TEYLA
It's getting worse.
SHEPPARD
That's enough. I'm getting out of here. (noting no response to controls)
We're not gaining any altitude. Controls are unresponsive.
[The HUD flickers out.]
SHEPPARD
The drive just went off-line. The pod's retracted. We're going in.

FORD
Nice landing, sir.
SHEPPARD
Thank you.
TEYLA
What happened?
MCKAY
(over radio)
He took us too close to the energy field.
SHEPPARD
Whose idea was that?
MCKAY
Look, you've made mistakes. I've made mistakes. Let's not get caught in the blame game.
SHEPPARD
Okay, can you fix this ship or not?
MCKAY
None of my diagnostic equipment is working.
TEYLA
The sun is still high in the sky.
MCKAY
What does that mean?
FORD
We can make it back to the Stargate before dark.
TEYLA
If we intend to leave, we should start now.
SHEPPARD
Zelenka and I can return and fix it.
MCKAY
No, no, no, Major, you don't understand.
MCKAY
It's not just the jumper. None of my equipment is working, either.
SHEPPARD
All right. Let's gear up.
EXT—PLANET, DAY
[They all exit the Jumper, wearing tac vests and holding their weapons at the ready. Ford pulls out a compass.]
FORD
Check it out, sir. I think my compass has gone wonky.
MCKAY
You brought a magnetic compass to another planet in another galaxy? You have absolutely no way of knowing if this planet's magnetic field is—is… Wait a second. Let me see that.
[The needle on the compass is spinning wildly.]

Jet Carrying 293 Crashes, Burns in Iowa; 166 Survive
July 20, 1989|J. MICHAEL KENNEDY and BOB BAKER | Times Staff Writers
SIOUX CITY, Iowa — A crippled United Airlines DC-10 crashed a half-mile short of a runway while trying to make an emergency landing Wednesday afternoon, bursting into a cartwheeling fireball that broke into what one eyewitness described as "15,000 pieces"
Remarkably, as many as 166 persons survived the violent crash
The fate of four others was not immediately known.

Flight 232 Memorial
Commemorating the heroic rescue efforts shown by the Sioux City community after the crash of United Flight 232 in 1989, this statue depicts Colonel Dennis Nielsen carrying a young child to safety. The memorial is part of Sioux City's riverfront development located near the Anderson Dance Pavilion.
The memorial features contemplative areas and a tree-lined approach with plaques narrating the tragic event.
1994 film "Princess Caraboo" DVD video:
John Gutch: Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi. These are places with names so beautiful that they must have been given by poets. My boyhood imaginings were that my destiny lay sailing down the trade routes to those Spice Islands, that I would carve a fortune and marry a potentate's daughter. But destiny has taken a less romantic turn. Instead, I have become an ink-stained printer and journalist, none too successful financially and, I will admit, none too fortunate in love either. Reluctantly, in my profession, I've had to learn the difference between the imaginary world and the world that is real. But this story is not imagined and even though in its way it's a fairy tale, it is true, and became as much my story as it was hers.
