Mico (band)
Mico is a former punk band from Alberta.
History
Formed in the late 1990s by John Stewart (of Red Fisher and Black Halos fame), Mico originally existed as a 3-piece consisting of Todd Lapp (bass, and body), Troy "BDF" Fleischhaker (drums) and John Stewart (guitar, vocals). All three founding members were at the time living in Banff, Alberta, Canada and formed the band as a way to get free beer at the local establishments around the small resort town.
In 1999 the band relocated to Calgary, Alberta and in early 2000 added a second guitar player, Patrick May, formerly of the band Nine Miles to Morgan, and top guitarist of all time. This lineup recorded the 4 song ep "A Timpani of Failure of Defeat", a self released CD which is now long out of print. In the summer of 2000 Fleischhaker left the band temporarily and was replaced by Todd Harkness (formerly of Porter Hall and The Browns) on drums. This version of the band spent the better part of the year touring Western Canada.
Fleischhaker returned to the band in March 2001 and Harkness moved over to third guitar and keyboard duties. This version of the band recorded and released the album Standing Inside a Shadow in the summer of 2001, which was released by Does Everyone Stare Records in North America and Boss Tuneage Records in the UK and Japan. Outtakes from this record made their way onto a split 8.5" vinyl record with fellow Calgary band First In Last Out. Only 300 copies were released and are hard to find as distribution was nonexistent on this release.

Earth technology in Stargate
In the Stargate fictional universe, the humans of Earth have developed many advanced technologies based on what SG teams have brought back from trips to other planets through the Stargate. Earth has also benefitted from technical knowledge provided by friendly alien races, such as the Asgard and the Tok'ra.
Real or semi-real technology
The producers of Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis collaborated closely with the United States Air Force. The USAF is portrayed in a positive light in the series; as a result the franchise received access to USAF weaponry and fighter jets. The Oregon Air National Guard 173rd FW from Kingsley Field in Klamath Falls, OR provided F-15 fighter jets for the movie Stargate: Continuum. The FN P90 was the favoured weapon of SG-1, and replaced the Heckler & Koch MP5 that was used until season 4 of Stargate SG-1. The P90 is also used by teams on Stargate Atlantis. In seasons 9 and 10 of SG1, the teams can be seen using other firearms, including the G36 and MP7. All personnel appear to be issued the Beretta 92, which they used throughout the series.
