Get down on your knees and Pray!!--- 24 Season 5

HAHAHA!! you know where the above come from?
and I say it in a cheering tone, it's because, it's kind of funny when I saw it..

if you have watched '24' Season 5, somewhere in the middle, I can't remember what time...
when the terrorists threaten President Logan, to give them the Russian President's motorcade route to the airport, so that they could assasinate him...
Logan was reluctant to give in, but then, he didn't fight long, and then... he gave up the motorcade route...
but then, the first lady, was very disappointed with him, the fact that, he didn't even fight any longer with the terrorists, but then, gave in to their threat and betrayed the Russian President, who's just signed a treaty with America..

So, the story went on...
the terrorists were all ready to wait for the motorcade to arrive at that turning so that, they could 'bajooka' them!!
Just prior to the time, the assassination time...
as Logan eventually found out that his own wife was with the Russian President, in the motorcade,
that put him in another difficult situation again... whether he should inform the motorcade, to ask them to reroute, that could save the Russian Presiden, and his own wife, or... he should just let it be, and let the assassination carry on..
as, if he informed the motorcade, then, the terrorists will release the nerve gas, in whereever they could think of..

In the end, he decided to let it be...
and that time, his advisor Mike Novick was with him, Mike just stared at him, waited for his response, to see if he would inform the motorcade..
the next thing he did, was put his arm on Mike's shoulder, and told him this, "the only thing we can do now, is to pray!"
well... I thought that's a way of speech, and to my surprise...
he really pulled Mike aside, and made him kneel down to pray together with him...
... they prayed..
and I laughed... what a useless and ball-less president!!! (oops, mind my language, but then, sometimes, it's good to err... swear, dirty words, kakakakaka!)

The terrorists, did eventually bombed the motorcade, but then, just before that second, CTU somehow found out from their own INTEL (intelligence) that, the motorcade would be under attack, and informed the secret services who're with the motorcade...
therefore, somehow the Russian President and the First Lady were safe...

OK... after all the above 'history' of where I get the title from...
what I actually want to mention is... just last weekend, something happened to my husband's project..
it involved data backup and restore, but not his part..
well... I won't go into details of this...
but what happened was, some data need to be restored and the person who's supposed to know how to do it, didn't know how to do it..
and this will affect the next business day... (somehow!!)
my husband sounded very very very very worried (it's really very worried!!)
and well... since I've been involved with some data backup/restore business... I was more confident in all this.. but then, I was very very very worried for him... (it's funny that, sometimes, your mood is just simply the other person mood, or vice versa)
so, I went online, found this always-cool guy, and asked him about those backup/restore issue... well... from the conversation, it really was not really going to be a very problematic problem solving...
but... like I mentioned to my husband during that time, when I got to know the issue... I told him (cos, it's not his part, or his team's part, however it's a chain reaction thing, but then again... there's nothing much he could do, or there's nothing much anybody could do, except those techy people)
since there's nothing much he or anybody can do, that night..
I suddenly thought of Logan's situation.. the above situation that I just describe...
so, I told him, maybe we all should get down on our knees and pray, just like Logan did...
@_@

well... in the end... this issue was solved... that night...
HERE comes the real work!!
