Stargate SG-1 - Season 8 Boxed Set
Sale Price: $9.96
|
|
|
The beat goes on for Stargate SG-1 in this five-disc set containing all 20 episodes from the show's eighth season. If that beat is now a bit more faint than in previous years, that's not particularly surprising when a franchise has been around this long; what's more, if Season 8 has some fairly odd aspects to it ("Threads," which appears to have been planned as the final episode of the entire series, is followed by two more in this set alone
not to mention an unexpected renewal that led to an all-new Season 9), that too isn't exactly unusual in the wacky world of series television. Some significant changes are apparent in Season 8. Jack O'Neill (series star Richard Dean Anderson) has been promoted to Brigadier General and is now top dog (as he puts it, the guy who "spent my whole life stickin' it to the man" now is the man). The existence of the stargate, an artificially created "wormhole" through which one can instantly travel to different worlds light years away from Earth, is no longer a well-guarded secret. And Stargate Command itself now exists primarily to "develop new weapons and technologies to defend the planet" from our various alien antagonists--principally the "Replicators," relentless little bug-machines poised to take over not only Earth but the entire galaxy. The rest of the SG-1 core cast (Amanda Tapping, Christopher Judge, and Michael Shanks) is intact. But whereas Anderson, who has steadily reduced his role in the show, wasn't much missed in Season 7, one wishes there were more of him this time around; O'Neill's general insouciance and aversion to techno-speak are a welcome antidote to the kind of sci-fi gobbledygook (discussions about "a time dilation field on the planet Hala" and such) that now threatens to take precedence over the action and fine special effects that distinguished earlier seasons. Most of all, while there are still all manner of villains (Anubis, Ba'al, the ever-present Goa'uld) to contend with, as well as a few good guys (the Asgard, the rebel Jaffa) to help our heroes fight the good fight, Stargate SG-1's writers and creators may be running out of steam. Hence we get an episode like the very peculiar "Citizen Joe," featuring Dan Castellaneta as an average guy who sees "visions" (i.e., clips from past episodes) of the SG-1 team in action and becomes obsessed with proving that the whole stargate project really exists; an uneasy combination of self-parody and self-congratulation, this episode, while not unamusing, sticks out like a sore thumb. Bonus features include audio commentary (mostly by the various directors) on 19 of the 20 episodes, along with photo galleries and one featurette per disc. --Sam Graham

The X-Files Mythology, Vol. 1 - Abduction
Sale Price: $14.70
|
|
|
The X-Files Mythology series consists of collections of episodes grouped around certain themes that were central to Chris Carter's gripping, funny, and sometimes impenetrable sci-fi/suspense/horror series. The 15 episodes in the first volume, Abduction, are culled from the first three seasons of the show, and they introduce FBI agent Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson), who has been assigned to keep tabs on her new partner, the eccentric Fox Mulder (David Duchovny). Mulder's specialty is those cases that can't seem to be solved on normal parameters--the "X-Files"--because he believes that many years ago his sister was abducted by aliens. We meet a dizzying cast of supporting characters: FBI assistant director Skinner (Mitch Pileggi); a government informant, code-named "Deep Throat," who offers to get Mulder closer to the truth than he's ever imagined; apparent abductee Duane Barry (Steve Railsback); a trio of conspiracy theorists called the Lone Gunmen (Dean Haglund, Tom Braidwood, and Bruce Harwood); the mysterious Cigarette Smoking Man (William B. Davis); and suspicious agent Krycek (Nicholas Lea). And the theme of alien abduction leads to deeper threads involving experiments with alien DNA, cloning, alien bounty hunters, and more. These early episodes are some of the best the series ever had to offer, and the reasonably priced Mythology sets might be enticing for novices who would like to get a feel for the series without having to wade through all the story arcs and concepts that wandered through the nine seasons. (They're also conveniently packaged, with four discs in two Thinpaks.) X-philes, of course, would prefer the complete seasons, with the multiple arcs as well as the numerous excellent standalone (a.k.a. "creature feature") episodes. The discs include new commentary tracks on five of the episodes by Chris Carter, writer Frank Spotnitz, or director R.W. Goodwin, and there's a new 28-minute documentary that provides an overview of the series and the pertinent episodes that's well suited to novices. --David Horiuchi
This four-disc collector's set features 15 episodes, including the pilot, "Deep Throat," "Duane Barry," "End Game," and "Anasazi," from the series's first three seasons. 11 1/2 hrs. total. Standard; Soundtracks: English Dolby Digital Surround, French Dolby Digital stereo, Spanish Dolby Digital Surround; Subtitles: English, Spanish; audio commentary on selected episodes; documentary; timeline. **15 episodes on 4 discs. 11 1/2 hrs.**

The Ador Little Black Dress diet
Follow Ador’s 14-day Little Black Dress plan, and you’ll be able to shift a good half a stone, feel great and do your LBD the justice it deserves.
Before you start...
Our plan gives you around 1,100 calories a day from the meals. Add another 100 for a half a pint of skimmed milk to use in teas and coffees, and a further 200 calories for snacks. These can be made up from the following:
. Three pieces of fruit
. Two pieces of fruit and a low fat plain yoghurt (150g pot)
. 1 Ador chocolate bar (187 calories)
. 1 Ador snack bar (175 calories)
. A handful of almonds
. Individual pot of low-fat custard with a small baked apple
. A grilled banana with a blob of fromage frais
Also, to stay healthy and guarantee success, remember to:
. Take a multivitamin and mineral supplement. You need this to get all your vital nutrients when your calorie intake falls.
. Don’t have ‘weekends off’. Research shows that successful slimmers keep going and are consistent in their eating habits.
. Keep drinking. When you normally snack, instead have a cup of herbal tea (ones containing liquorice or fennel can naturally blunt your appetite) or water to fill the gap.
. Jot down everything you eat and drink for the first two weeks. This way you can’t kid yourself that you’re eating less than you think.
Finally, before you get going, remember that you can pick and mix any of the seven breakfasts, lunches and dinners, eating them in any combination from the recipes below. Follow the plan for 14 days to get into great shape. Good luck…
BREAKFASTS
You’ve probably heard a lot of people say: “I don’t have time for breakfast!” Well, we urge you to make the time if you can. That’s because whether you are hungry first thing or not, you’re likely to be at some point during the morning. And if you suddenly get the munchies, you can be sure the only easily available food to grab will be things like chocolate, crisps and biscuits.
You probably know the rest of the story. You start eating these and can’t stop. Then you feel guilty and eat even more.
We also hear a lot of people say that if they eat breakfast, they can’t stop eating during the morning, whereas if they skip it, they can make it through until lunchtime. If you’ve found this to be the case, it’s probably because you were eating the types of bread and breakfast cereals, which, like sweets, cakes and biscuits, give you a sudden sugar rush and set you off on a roller coaster of sugar cravings for the rest of the morning.
If you choose foods that you digest slowly, such as the ones in these recipes, you should find that your blood sugar remains steady, and that you feel satisfied until lunchtime. If you don’t, take a snack such as those suggested above. Always remember to think ahead.
To enjoy breakfast:
. Eat your last meal and snack of the night before slightly earlier than usual. This way you are more likely to fancy eating first thing.
. Go to bed 20 minutes earlier and get up 20 minutes earlier. This way you will have time for breakfast.
. Prepare your breakfast the night before to reduce the mad rush.
. Take your time. Life is not a race. If losing weight is important to you, then prove it to yourself. Respect your body and make time to sit down and enjoy your first meal of the day. You’re worth it!
Breakfast benefits
. People who eat breakfast with a good balance of protein, slow release carbohydrates and high-fibre foods are consistently leaner than breakfast skippers.
. Breaking the overnight fast by enjoying a balanced breakfast stimulates your metabolic rate for the morning ahead, and triggers the release of appetite suppressing hormones to keep you satisfied in the hours that follow leaving home.
. Breakfast eaters have been shown to not only be more physically energetic during the morning, but also to be able to concentrate better too.
BREAKFASTS
1. Apple Muesli
Mix together 50g of sugar-free muesli with a grated apple. Pour over skimmed or calcium-enriched soya milk, and top with a blob of low-fat plain yogurt.
2. French Toast
Leave two slices of multigrain bread out overnight. In the morning, whisk 1 egg with a pinch of cinnamon, fructose and nutmeg. Dip the slices of bread into the egg mix and fry in a non-stick pan brushed with a little oil. Cook for 2-3mins each side. While still hot, top with 1tbsp of low-fat fromage frais and slices of your favourite fruit. Apple, peach, pear and mango make really tasty choices.
3. Blueberry Porridge
Mix together a small mug of porridge oats with 1 mug of skimmed or calcium-enriched soya milk and two mugs of water, plus 40g of dried blueberries (or other dried fruits of your choice). Bring to the boil, then gently and simmer according to pack instructions.
4. Peanut Butter Toast
Spread two slices of granary toast with 10g of peanut butter and serve with a 200ml glass of orange juice.
5. Fresh Fruit Bowl
Cut up three of your favourite fruits (banana, apple, pear, etc – the choice is yours) and mix together in a bowl. Serve topped with a small carton of low fat yogurt.
6. Bacon Sandwich
Grill two slices of extra-lean bacon and toast two slices of sourdough bread. Lay the bacon on one slice of the toast and spread ketchup on the other slice. Lay slices of grilled tomatoes on top of the bacon, top with the ketchup-spread toast and serve.
7. Eggs on Toast
Grill two big mushrooms and a tomato sliced in half. Poach an egg by dropping it into fast-boiling water with 1tsp of vinegar. Toast 2 slices of granary bread. Drain the egg and serve on one slice of the toast, and serve the tomato and mushrooms on other.
LUNCHES
Eating a lunch that contains a good serving of protein has been shown to reduce mid-afternoon hunger pangs and the desire to dig into cakes, biscuits and crisps to alleviate the afternoon energy slump.
Not only that, having a lunch with plenty of protein has been shown to reduce the amount of food that you eat at your evening meal.
Remember to plan ahead. Think about where you are going to be at lunchtime. Will you be able to buy something that suits your new way of eating? If you think that you could be at the mercy of a motorway café, or you know that your work canteen does not have the kind of food that you want to eat, then maybe it would be better to prepare your own lunch before leaving home?
Keep thinking, keep planning and stay one step ahead.
1. Salmon & Fennel on Sourdough
In a bowl, mix 1tbsp of virtually fat-free fromage frais with 1tsp each of horseradish relish, lemon juice and chopped chives. Then add 100g of cooked, flaked salmon and half a grated bulb of fennel. Season with black pepper and mix thoroughly. Spread onto a slice toasted sourdough bread and serve. If you intend to take this lunch to work then keep the salmon mix and spread onto the bread when you are ready to eat. Serve with a crunchy apple.
2. Salad Nicoise
Open and drain 50g of tuna canned in spring water. Meanwhile, mix together 1tsp of olive oil, 2tsps of white wine vinegar and 1tsp of finely cut spring onion. Set aside.

4. Smoked Mackerel Pate
