Will the revelation of French President Francois Hollande's affair with actress Julie Gayet wound him and overshadow his economic policies? Don't be so sure.
Hollande ran for office as the anti-Nicolas Sarkozy - a modest, mild-mannered alternative to all the bling and Carla Bruni supermodel razzmatazz that the former president represented. Now, though, the image that won him the election has become a liability. He's a boring and indecisive leader, something the French don't really want.

[PC-PR] Tribes®: Vengeance Goes Gold!
September 21, 2004, 07:27:39 PM »
Having been in the beta, I can say that I am absolutely without a doubt buying this one. If there is enough interest, I'll serve it up too!
LOS ANGELES, CA (September 21, 2004) – Vivendi Universal Games announced today that their upcoming PC first-person action game Tribes: Vengeance has gone gold and will ship to retail stores in the United States on October 5th. A multiplayer demo for the game will be made available online before the game is released.
A single-player trial version for Tribes: Vengeance and more information about the game can be found at the official website:
In Tribes: Vengeance gamers become immersed in a roiling galactic thriller. Throughout the game, the player catches glimpses of myriad interrelated stories that unfold behind-the-scenes and is given the opportunity to experience the full scope of the single-player story through multiple viewpoints and characters. Utilizing the all-new Vengeance Engine powered by Unreal™ technology, the world is brought to life with characters that have facial expressions and fully-realized personalities, vehicles that kick up dust as they pass by, and weapons that display spectacular effects. Tribes: Vengeance will also build upon the Tribes series' legendary online multiplayer action by continuing to focus on team-oriented goals and fluid movement. Particular focus is being given to making Tribes: Vengeance easily accessible to the video game modification (MOD) community. Irrational Games and VU Games have worked together to ensure that Tribes: Vengeance's game modification tools are easily accessible and robust.

I played this one all weekend, and man, what a quality game. The single player game is outstanding, which came as a complete shocker to me. You get to play as all the major characters in the story at different times, both "good" and "evil". Graphics are excellent, sound is pretty good although I wish the weapon sound effects were a little beefier, and the gameplay is great. I haven't even spent that much time messing around with MP, which is a testament to the SP game.

I thought Tribes: Vengeance was a real disappointment. Irrational made the game feel like a UT2004 mod, not like Tribes or Tribes 2 at all--which is a crying shame because the first two were absolutely fantastic games.
I was a rabid Tribes fan, but after playing Irrational's beta, I couldn't justify buying Tribes 3. It's not Tribes at all.

That might be a seal of approval for some folks that didn't particularly LIKE the first game. Personally I thought it was ugly and didn't run very well on my then-current rig. There was also enough of a learning curve, especially with skiing, to be offputting, and the "leet" attitude of the community in regard to treating less-than-experts like dogshit didn't help much either. It just wasn't a great experience, so when I hear "not like Tribes at all" my ears perk up.

ya know, i'm on the fence on this one. i pretty much ignored it as i wasn't a big fan of the first two (probably more due to only playing them a couple of times, not enough to understand the nuances). Then, this past weekend, I played a bit at a friends and I completely loved the whole jetpack thing. plus, i really enjoyed the single player portion that he loaded up for me that included the numerous arena games. I may pick this up, after all.
Of course, the lack of bots so i can practice offline is holding me back.

I'm kind of with LE.
Tribes: Vengeance isn't a bad game at all, but it feels way too much like UT2k4 for me to justify a purchase. I can just load up UT2k4 itself and get a pretty close game.
I never really played Tribes 1 too much, I lived in Alaska at the time and the pings were horrible. (This was before Broadband was even available up there, and the fastest our internet connection went was 28.8, even with a 56k modem).
I loved Tribes 2, though.
If I added a sig, would you read it?

You can make the exact same argument about any other multiplayer game that has some element of unconventionality that requires practice and skill. Quake 2 had the grappling hook--you either learned to use it, or you sucked. Counter-Strike has its tactical element--play the game like a run-and-gun shooter, and you'll be sitting out most rounds.
There are games like Quake 3, UT/UT2k4, and now Tribes 3 for those who want an experience that starts and ends with "hold the fire button and keep the crosshair over the enemy." If you want a shallow-but-newb-friendly game like that, power to you, there are your games. Some of us wanted a deeper game than the low-ceilinged, hand-holding newb-a-thon that's Tribes 3, though.
Heaven forbid you actually have to learn how to play a game to do well in it. :roll:

I never played the first 2 Tribes, so I'm experiencing Tribes:V for what it is and not what it ought to be. The single player campaign is solid, and is actually a lot of fun. It's not like UT in that the SP just links a bunch of the MP game modes together in a tournament format. The SP game is a legitimate story with some very fun (and long) missions. Every few missions you'll switch sides to another character to play out the story from their perspective, which is pretty darn cool for a FPS. Many of the MP aspects are worked into the SP campaign, but they're done in a gradual way so that you can get used to using jetpacks, skiing, using the wench, arena play, driving and piloting the vehicles, taking down bases, killing vehicles, and the differences between the armor types and weapons. I'd recommend Tribes:V just on the SP campaign alone.
I really enjoyed both of the Heavy Gear games, and prefer the meched up heavy infantry feel to the mech warrior, large vehicle feel. Tribes:V has a somewhat similar feel depending on the armor types you choose, although the weapons are definitely shorter range and more geared to anti-infantry. Either way, I get that same feeling running around with a heavy armor suit and a speed pack lobbing mortars at baddies that I did in the HG games…which = fun for me. I'm not sure how the previous Tribes games stack up against this one, but for what it is, the game has been fun for me.
It did make me realize however that I would really love to see a new game in the HG universe. I don't think the HG games sold well compared to the Mech Warrior titles, which is a shame because they were a different take on the whole giant robot mech genre.

text: Ok I just saw this in traffic today, I do not know who the person is or have anything to do with it at all. While I was out running around this afternoon I passed a car with a picture of BHO with a rifle scope crosshair on him. I find this tasteless to say the least even though I am not really a fan of BHO. Like him or not he is the POTUS and I will respect the office. What I was wondering though is this freedom of speak/expression or is it a threat to the president? I am wondering how long it will be before the secrete service shows up at this guys house, but what do you think about it?

I finished reading The Man With The Iron Heart by Harry Turtledove. Its a alt. history story about what if the Nazi's would have started a guerrilla war at the end of WWII. Its an interesting read, although I've read a number of Turtledove novels before it does play out in a somewhat predictable fashion. None the less I'm glad I read it.
Still need to get through *ugh* Children of the Jedi.....but in the meantime I'm re-reading Angels and Demons, the illustrated version to get myself ready for the movie coming out.
You'll be sorry, Pee-Wee Herman!
I read The Bro Code by Barney Stinson yesterday at a local Barnes and Noble. It only took about an hour (I had time to kill). Its a nice fun little read, I'd never pay the $15ish dollars for it.
I picked up Jedi Trials at the library the other day and am almost done with it. It's a fast read and it's holding my attention.
If you meant Jedi Trial, as I quoted Obi-Wan before, "I am so sorry."Originally Posted by OC47150
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
It was Jedi Trial, and, compared to other SW books I've read, I didn't think it was too bad.
I just finished the latest of the 9 Sookie Stackhouse novels by Charlaine Harris. They're really entertaining. If you've seen True Blood on HBO, they are the books the series is based upon.
I finished Finding Eichman last night. Its about the search, capture, transport and trial of Adolph Eichman who was involved in the Holocaust during WW II.
Summer's on! Two are done, with hopefully many more to follow. First was the Clone Wars: No Prisoners, already reviewed in that thread. Just finished E.R. Burroughs' The Gods of Mars, a John Carter of Mars Martian Tales of... book. Not bad; it's in that turn-of-the-century sci-fi style of narrating, where every detail is mentioned minutely and the characters "monologue" a lot, as The Incredibles put it. Lots of SW influence, clearly, and a surprisingly sad ending (the title of chapter 22 was "Victory and Defeat," so I guess it shouldn't have been too shocking to end negatively).
Am partway through Golda Meir's My Life.

Thread: flemish giant rabbit?
flemish giant rabbit?
anyone on here have one?
my boyfriend is becoming more impatience the more research he does for his future pet. >.> i'm worried he's going to come home with it randomly one day before he's met my rules.
rules being, we have two child barricades, and under the fish tank is completely sealed off animals and children. and the living room is completely spotless. no mid projects laying about everywhere. (cosplayers) oh and he has the cage!
so if anyone has one or had one that was a baby when they got it can you give me some pointers? we don't even have a fence up outside yet. and won't for another year or more. so for a while it will be an indoor bunny.
and i had 4 baby wild bunnies once. and he had a normal pet shop bunny once. so we know some basics on general bunnies. but i feel like he's gonna get in over his head with the size of this one and our tiny 812sqft house. he doesn't understand the meaning of outside animals. >.>artist page: http://metal-otaku.deviantart.com

http://binkybunny.com has a lot of great information and a great forum.
Rabbits were probably the most time consuming animals I've had in my life as far as cleaning went. And not all rabbits end up being cuddly, so if your looking for an animal to snuggle with and will be super affectionate, I wouldn't go with a rabbit. It's a luck of the draw. I've seen really sweet rabbits that did love to snuggle but that is not the norm. My rabbits were always totally uninterested in me unless I had treats.
Good luck!3 Gallon Planted Betta Tank

+1 A lot of people seem to have the impression that rabbits are easy to care for. Honestly for the time and work you have to put into them, you'd be better off just getting a dog or cat. It would be easier and you'd get a lot more affection and rewards from it. No offense to anyone who loves them, but as cute and fuzzy as they are I just don't think rabbits make very good pets.
Some can be litter-trained like a cat, but I hear this is pretty difficult and rather hit-and-miss whether your rabbit will want to use the tray, or just go where it pleases. I know when we had our rabbits we were constantly vacuuming up rabbit poo and by the end of it the carpet was all shredded in the corners of the rooms. And like what Weaver said -- a lot of bunnies aren't that affectionate.
Flemish's are pretty docile as far as rabbits go, I hear. But again... Messy and TONS of work.
... get a Ragdoll instead. Best pet I've EVER owned by a million longshots.
Point the rabbit fan at the House Rabbit Handbook
I had a house rabbit that used a liter box out in our lanai. I had 14 more in cages up from the ground outside in my garage. Rabbits are hard to keep in the house. Their urine is very strong. They also have, not only a fierce bite, but a fierce kick. They should only be on the ground if you are right there to guard them due to snakes, foxes, and other critters getting into the their caged area.
Pick them up by the scruff of the neck (like animals carry their young) holding them away from you or they will scratch the heck out of you. They won't kick carrying them that way.
Not a good pet for young kids. Males and females need to be separated. Males will kill any baby rabbits and may do great harm, if not kill, the female.

my boyfriend had his potty trained and said that wasn't an issue. and i didn't care because my were rehabs and were going back to the wild.
we only have carpet in 2 rooms which will be blocked off. the rest of the house is tile.
most of our animals fall under people don't find them affectionate. gekos, turtles, and fish. but we still find them to be. specially when they meet you at the front of their cage when you walk in the front door. and paw at it till you let them climb up your arm and ride on ya.
@lady hobbs. thanks for the info on the urine. the 4 i rehabbed were kept at work. which is well ventilated. so that's probably why didn't notice that. however in my small house i probably will.
as a baby i have no issue with it being in the home. when it's bite sized. however when looking up this kind it seems common to let it live in a dog house in the back yard. but i will keep in mind about that for sure when we build the fence. as it also has to be digger tortoise proof.
we are looked for a male i believe. and we'll be getting him fixed. there will only be one rabbit also. not two.artist page: http://metal-otaku.deviantart.com

Glimpses of Soliton Theory: The Algebra and Geometry of Nonlinear PDEs - Alex Kasman
Mathematical Analysis of Partial Differential Equations Modeling Electrostatic MEMS - Pierpaolo Esposito, Nassif Ghoussoub and Yujin Guo
This book provides a conceptual introduction to the theory of ordinary differential equations, concentrating on the initial value problem for equations of evolution and with applications to the calculus of variations and classical mechanics, along with a discussion of chaos theory and ecological models. It has a unified and visual introduction to the theory of numerical methods and a novel approach to the analysis of errors and stability of various numerical solution algorithms based on carefully chosen model problems. While the book would be suitable as a textbook for an undergraduate or elementary graduate course in ordinary differential equations, the authors have designed the text also to be useful for motivated students wishing to learn the material on their own or desiring to supplement an ODE textbook being used in a course they are taking with a text offering a more conceptual approach to the subject.
Request an examination or desk copy.
This book is published in cooperation with IAS/Park City Mathematics Institute.
Undergraduate and graduate students interested in ordinary differential equations and numerical methods.
"This volume in the IAS/Park City Mathematical Subseries of the Student Mathematical Library shares with many other volumes of that series an approach that is freshly considered, accelerated and challenging. The authors take their cue from Richard Feynman: 'Imagine that you are explaining your ideas to your former smart, though ignorant, self, at the beginning of your studies!' . . . The authors are clearly intent on building a deeper conceptual understanding and offering correspondingly sophisticated tools. . . . [T]he treatment is subtle and aimed at developing a mature appreciation of important applications. . . . This book offers a sophisticated introduction to differential equations that strong student would likely find very attractive. It would also function nicely for independent or guided self-study."

The Biochemistry Section participates in the California Environmental Contaminant Biomonitoring Project (CECBP).
For the CECBP, we expect to analyze urine for metabolites of non-persistent organic contaminants, analyze blood and urine for metals of interest, and manage and track specimen receipt, distribution and long term storage. We are currently completing the purchase of new instruments. Staff training, and method selection and validation will begin soon, with the target of being prepared to participate in pilot projects in 2009-2010. Backbone instrumentation is high-resolution GC-MS, triple-quad LC-MS, and ICP-MS.
In general, we align our methods with those of the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, to take advantage of their many years of biomonitoring experience, and to facilitate comparison of California data with the national exposure. We hire predominantly from the Research Scientist series of the State personnel classifications. Our partner laboratory, the Environmental Chemistry Laboratory in the Department of Toxic Substances Control, is tasked with analyzing persistent organic contaminants.

Not the best week, but we were ready for it at least. My daughter faced it bravely and the outcome could have been a lot worse. I find it hard to write about the evils of pure methamphetamine, because of the heartbreak it has caused us all. And I have a dilemma.
Every time I mention meth, as I have vowed to do because I feel an obligation to play a part in the struggle against it, you will form a picture in your mind of my daughter.
She is not a circus, yet every time I mention the drug you will be reminded of her mistakes. But meth must be spoken of because it is a pernicious, insidious invader of the soul.
It is insanely powerful. The men who make it are sending our children mad. There might be hundreds of addicts in New Zealand but its victims number in the thousands. It is everywhere, and it seems everyone I meet has a meth story.
Here is some of what we know about methamphetamine. It is the most addictive drug any generation has had to deal with. Mike Sabin, the ex-cop whose company educates people about meth, says those who make it and distribute it are waging biological warfare against our community.
He quotes Dr Alex Stalcup from California's New Leaf Treatment Centre, who says he has never encountered a drug that can take over the lives of eight or nine people out of every 10 who take it. In the United States the average purity of meth is 30 per cent. In New Zealand it is 60 per cent. The greater the purity, the more likely addiction will occur.
Sabin says despite restrictions on the sale of pseudoephedrine, the purity of meth has increased. At our ports there are still daily seizures of Chinese-manufactured versions of the pills.
In the US, 1g of meth sells for about $90. In New Zealand it will fetch between $600 and $1000, Sabin says, which is why the international boys are attracted to the New Zealand market.
If you use pure meth regularly, in five years you are either sobered up, locked up or covered up, he says.
Methamphetamine makes people feel marvellous, invincible, 10-feet tall and bullet-proof, which is why it preys so easily on the young and vulnerable.
P is thought to make you feel up to 12 times better. An addict going off the drug feels bad by the same factor. The craving for pure meth is akin to someone going without fluid for three days, and our wanting the addict not to use is like wanting that thirsty person to refuse a glass of water, says Sabin.
It is incredibly hard to get off this drug. Recovery rates are low. Meth keeps you up - literally. Users lose all rationality from staying awake for days or weeks. They become paranoid and compulsive and secretive. They can lie like railway sleepers and all trust is destroyed in the people who love them. Mood swings are extreme and sometimes terrifying. Tempers can be awful, with screaming and shouting and the slamming of doors.
The behaviour caused by meth addiction creeps up on a family until one day they realise they are living in an abusive home.
Some people call meth the Great Deceiver because the user thinks the drug is marvellous, but it is out to destroy their mind. I call it the drug of invisibility. The eyes don't go red, the person doesn't become mellow and vague, you cannot smell it on clothing or in a room. You cannot tell if someone is using meth until it is too late, until a life is spiralling out of control. If the user is a teenager you might write it off as the tempestuous behaviour of adolescence.
Despite all the evidence in front of you, you choose not to believe what is happening. We are like that, parents. We don't bring kids up for this. We cannot bear to believe this. At least, that is how I was. Things had been difficult for a long time, really, but we started to get bad feelings towards the middle of last year. Things were getting weird.
I was powerless. The mysterious absences got longer. The people coming to the house were wrong. Things disappeared and were stolen. Doors were slamming shut in more ways than one.
The call from the police came on a Sunday in June, and the phone fell out of my hand. I called Millie's mother. TV3 called an hour later. I felt nothing but sadness and fear for my girl, and we dreaded the storm that was about to hit.
We switched on the TV at 6pm for the news, with the sound muted because I thought it would come about 10 minutes in. But there, right at the top, was the reporter - under lights, all lit up, outside the Auckland City police station telling the world my daughter was being held, facing serious drugs charges.
I stood reeling quietly in the kitchen. My daughter, our clever, kind and witty girl, was on her own in a police cell in God knows what state. My friend Paul said, "At least you know she's safe tonight". And that, in a sad, simple way, was true.
Suddenly, an immediate problem: where to place her after bail next morning? Where to keep her safe, somewhere secure, somewhere she could be kept under guard and away from the low people she had come to know? It was Sunday night and we knew nothing of detox facilities.
In the end, Deborah's sister Janine, at home during the day with her toddler, agreed to take Millie and there she stayed for six weeks - sleeping through days and nights, sleeping and eating, sleeping and eating, until she was well enough to go willingly to rehabilitation, which she did.
Thank goodness we did not need to seek help from the public system. Can you believe this? With meth running riot, there are only 16 secure detoxification beds in Auckland. To get in you have to be assessed. There is a waiting list, of course. If you are an addict in trouble, you wait in jail.
Michelle Kidd, a Methodist missionary - a kind, wise and dedicated woman I met at the Auckland District Court - speaks passionately about the need for secure 24-bed detoxification centres around Auckland. She wants them to be medical as well, because people with rampant addictions are likely to have long-standing mental vulnerabilities.
She speaks of the growing crisis of P addicts with nowhere to go. We were lucky: we had family. And we were lucky that we could afford the residential rehab. It is not cheap. But while we can write the cheques for that, we also face unique pressures.
I found out this week that Woman's Day magazine was in a bidding war for my daughter's story, and was offering her $20,000. I was appalled. That money would be a terrible temptation. I rang Sarah Henry, the editor, and told her that if payment occurred I would hold her personally responsible for how Millie spent it.
The Woman's Day offer was heartless, brainless and irresponsible. I have taken money from women's magazines on special occasions over the years. But I was not profiting from criminal offending. Perhaps I set a bad example, but a dad can blame himself for everything and it gets you nowhere.
I will tell you about the worst day, when we bundled a terribly thin, unkempt, irrational and angry Millie into my brother's car outside the court. My brother and I were stunned by her state and our minds flashed back through the years.
Long ago, my father brought home a man with whom he served at war for a long time, a man he had not seen for 20 years. The man's marriage was in chaos and he needed somewhere to stay. Mum and Dad, kind people trying to help, invited him to live with us for a while. He stayed for about two years.
He could be charming but he was a chronic, manipulative alcoholic, a man of wild mood swings, a ghastly, ruined man. Towards the end, he spent nights ranting outside, staggering in the gravel all round the house shouting: "Bastards of hell! Bastards of hell!" One afternoon I found him standing in the toilet, guzzling a bottle of cheap brandy, muttering insanely, a fag in one hand. That day, aged 15 and without a driver's licence, I drove him into town to the doctor and sat in the car until it was dark and Mum and Dad came to get me.
He came home for a while, until the men in white came and took him and we never saw him again.
As Ken and I drove my daughter north to Deborah's sister we felt he was back again, so strong was the cruel presence of rock-bottom addiction. My poor girl had not slept for a long time. We stared through the windscreen, hardly blinking, stunned at the power of the demon in the car. My daughter had flown out of her skin and something from hell had moved in.
That was then, of course. Things are so different now and Millie has made huge progress. Her letter to the judge was moving and insightful. But I would never wish that day on anyone.
Sabin says the meth epidemic should be given the same health priority as any other contagion. If it were meningitis, the place would be crawling with intervention. The social consequences of ignoring meth could be with us for generations.

A storm, an election and Europe all might impact inventory
Peculiar times are making some otherwise-confident dealers uncertain about the future -- specifically, the impact of various world events on their future days supply of inventory.
There are three issues that might impact inventory. The first is the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy; the second is the U.S. presidential election results; and the third is the economic struggle in Europe and China.
Sandy has taken her toll on the East Coast, and it's a big one.
According to data from Urban Science, 7 to 8 percent of U.S. car sales come from the New York City, Long Island, northern New Jersey and part of Pennsylvania region. That means about 3,000 to 3,500 vehicles a day are sold in those areas.
Many dealers with stores on the East coast are still assessing the damage to their inventory today. As they do, it begs the questions: How much inventory will they need to replace vehicles damaged by the storm? What kind of demand for vehicles will dealers face? And what will the buying mood be among devastated residents in those areas as they recover?
Those answers are unknown.
Enter another unknown, the presidential election. Some dealers in other parts of the country are holding off ordering additional inventory until after the election, according to a post on the Ethical F&I Managers Facebook page. The post says some dealerships are nearly out of stock.
These two factors could cause problems for manufacturers.
If East Coast dealers must restock quickly because of Sandy's damage and other dealers suddenly need stock after the election, manufacturers are going to feel a production pinch.
But dealer Bill Cariss is not worried about either of those issues impacting him.
He has been ordering inventory as usual. And the seven New Jersey dealerships owned by Holman Automotive Group, where Cariss runs the dealership operations, weathered Sandy with minimal damage.
For Cariss, there is a greater potential worry that could impact his inventory.
"I think the bigger impact is going to be this slowdown in Europe and China." said Cariss, vice president of Holman Automotive Group dealership operations in Maple Shade, N.J. "We are probably going to see increased levels of inventory in the U.S. because the manufacturers will ask us to take more product, which can be a blessing and curse."
So batten down the hatches, because with these uncertainties, there could be another storm brewing that hasn't even struck yet.

I have tried in vain, never had success
So it seems my life is nothing but a mess
I have lost, my only friends
Now it seems I have to start again, merry go around
[Verse 1]
My life's been going around 'n' round since '95
Went from going somewhere to about to die
Went from calling my chick a chicken
Cause she look like she got poultry around her thighs
To calling your piece a chicken Cause she got no teeth
And she got crow feet, around her eyes
How hard are y'all? I got a heart the size of Arkansas
Count to five, these birds gon' hit the ground and they ain't from out the sky
Went from having an outta-this-world-flow, to doing a video doing the coon dance
To watching' my good friend Eminem winning' a moonman
I remember cause I was in New York with all of my boys to start shit
Letting 'em stay with me, long story short, they tore up my corporate apartment
Went from being a kid addicted to basketball
To being an ignorant nigga addicted to alcohol
Round and round we go is how this movie would end
Self-proclaimed King of my city, not really just truly the King of losing a friend
Who woulda thought this dude in the park who's true to his art would lose
Or win just by giving his thoughts and views
[Verse 2]
You would hear that Ryan's skilled might even hear Ryan kills
You will never hear Ryan Stills, here to put the "i" in ill
My mind is still like a merry-go-round spill
Like leaving only guns to my kids when I'm killed, I got an iron will
Intellect of Zion, I done went too high on pills
To triumph, to hiding from bills, to buying buildings
Then I went from writing for Dre to wondering if my head was on straight
On the sidelines feeling forgot about listening to "Forgot About Dre"
From there I went to about a bottle a day
Telling who we know "Get outta my face!" okay I know what Kino said about Dre
I look at Kino to this day like that was a stupid mistake
But if it wasn't for him doing that, what would I be doing today?
If it wasn't for Cashis saying that he gonna beat my ass
Then me and Em probably wouldn't be laughing bout us getting past it
If it wasn't for me being outcasted I woulda never been on the underground rapping with SLAUGHTERHOUSE!
Track from Success Is Certain
Moral of the song is everything happens for a reason, showed by how everything goes around (from drugs to life etc.)

Empok Nor (episode)
this wiki
(written from a Production point of view)
Scavenging an abandoned Cardassian space station identical to DS9 for equipment, O'Brien's team discovers that the station may not be completely abandoned.
Summary Edit
Kira, Dax, and Worf enter Quark's to find it strangely empty – and the reason soon becomes apparent. No one is able to hear themselves think over the horrible noise resulting from Chief O'Brien and Nog doing some conduit repairs. The repairs are heavy and O'Brien soon realizes that he will need an entirely new plasma distribution manifold. Unfortunately, the manifolds are of Cardassian manufacture and cannot be replicated. A team is assembled to scavenge manifolds from the abandoned station of Empok Nor, which is identical in design to Deep Space 9. Because it is standard for Cardassians to plant booby traps whenever they abandon an area, Sisko recruits an outside resource to join the mission as the minesweeper: Elim Garak. The rest of the crew comprises O'Brien, Nog and four other Starfleet crewmembers: Pechetti, Boq'ta, Stolzoff, and Amaro.
Act OneEdit
In the runabout traveling to the station Nog and Garak play the Cardassian board-game Kotra. Garak scolds Nog for playing too defensively, he explains that this is an un-Cardassian style, and that the game is about bold maneuvers and sweeping attacks. While en route to the station, Garak brings up O'Brien's past as a soldier in the Federation-Cardassian War, which O'Brien is hesitant to discuss. They soon arrive at Empok Nor. After Garak disarms the airlock booby trap and restores emergency power to the station, O'Brien quickly dispatches his teams for the salvage operation. Nevertheless, tension slowly begins to build when two Cardassians left on the abandoned station wake up in their stasis tubes as emergency power is restored.
A little after, Garak and Boq'ta find the stasis tubes in the infirmary – two are empty, and one contains the skeleton of a Cardassian who died approximately one year before. The stasis tubes are partly filled with an unknown blue biogenic substance. Regarding the discovery, Garak contacts the O'Brien team. After Nog witnesses the destruction of the runabout, they conclude that the former occupants of the cells are loose on the station with unfriendly intentions. When a dampening field hindering subspace communication is suddenly activated, they understand that their new priority is to contact DS9 for evacuation. It is decided to use the deflector grid to send a series of covariant pulses. For efficiency, they split again into three teams.
The first team, composed of Stolzoff and Pechetti, has no luck and is easily disposed of by the veteran of the Cardassian First Order, Third Battalion. When O'Brien arrives on the death scene, he realizes they had the time to do a pretty complete job.
Act Two Edit
The remaining members split again, although everyone is beginning to feel clearly insecure. Garak is beginning to act strangely, insisting on going after the Cardassians and inviting the hero of Setlik III (O'Brien) to join his fight.
Garak succeeds in disabling a Cardassian. After running an analysis on the body, he learns that the soldier had been given a massive dose of a psychotropic drug. Garak opines that it appears to be a failed experiment to enhance Cardassians' xenophobic tendencies, turning already-fanatical soldiers into unstable killing machines. He informs O'Brien of his discovery, but his strange behavior causes O'Brien to observe that Garak doesn't have the face of a tailor anymore.
Garak goes on with his task, killing the second Cardassian guard, but he is unable to prevent the death of Boq'ta. Garak then finally loses control and succumbs to the effects of the psychotropic drug. Garak stabs Amaro with a flux coupler.
Act Three Edit
Insane, he turns his attention towards the only other remaining members of the salvage party: O'Brien and Nog. Garak comes across a Kotra board. He reflects over to O'Brien on the relevance of Kotra's aggressive play style to their current predicament. At this moment, O'Brien decides that securing the station is a greater priority than sending the signal. A cat-and-mouse (or Kotra) game follows. Garak successfully captures Nog, and then uses him to bring O'Brien out of hiding. Garak arranges a hand-to-hand duel, as it will be more enjoyable for him to kill O'Brien slowly. Garak is partly blinded by the drug, and the Chief incapacitates him using a simple trap (a tricorder-phaser bomb).
Later, in sickbay, Garak's system is purged of the drug. Garak expresses extreme regret for his actions and asks O'Brien to personally apologize on his behalf to Amaro's wife. O'Brien agrees, then says that there will have to be an inquest, but O'Brien will make sure that the board knows Garak wasn't responsible for his actions.
Memorable quotes Edit
"Welcome to Empok Nor."
"Thanks for having us..."
"Take whatever you need... my house is your house."
- - Garak and O'Brien
"He asked me to get a coil spanner for him, I just turned my back for a second."
"That's a shame. And the worst part of it is, this isn't a coil spanner." (stabs Amaro) "It's a flux coupler."
- - Amaro and Garak
"Looking for me? Oh, that felt - good."
- - Garak after killing a Cardassian soldier
"You look different. That's not the face of a tailor."
"I'm not a tailor. Not for the moment anyway."
- - O'Brien and Garak
"Maybe it's true. Maybe you're not a soldier anymore."
"You're right. I'm an engineer."
- - Garak and O'Brien right before O'Brien remote detonates his tricorder-phaser bomb
"Asking a Ferengi to play a Cardassian game is like asking a Klingon to chew with his mouth closed."
- - Garak playing Kotra with Nog
Background information Edit
Story and scriptEdit
- In Bryan Fuller's original pitch for this episode, the story involved Worf and Garak. They are in a runabout and come across a derelict ship adrift. They board it, and it turns out to be a vessel which belonged to the Obsidian Order. It is littered with bodies, and as they attempt to work out what happened, Garak turns on Worf and sets out to kill him. Fuller compared this idea to the 1978 film Blue Sunshine. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- Hans Beimler's first draft of the teleplay for this episode did not feature any of the various exchanges between O'Brien and Garak. There were no mentions of Setlik III, and no sense of rivalry between the two. This draft was not popular with either the cast or crew. According to Andrew Robinson, "After I finished the first draft, I thought, 'Ugh.' I felt like the writers were intruding on Garak. I never could have done that first script. We were vacuums. There was nothing in my character. It made no sense." Similarly unimpressed was Ira Steven Behr; "I told Hans, 'This doesn't work. Not even close. There's no character, no meaning. It's just a series of events and none of it makes any sense.'" Beimler returned to the script and composed another draft, this time adding much more depth to the relationship between Garak and O'Brien, and also bringing O'Brien's background as a soldier into play. As Beimler himself acknowledges, "I thought it was there after I did the first draft, but there was no bottom to the story. The second draft got into the relationship with O'Brien and Garak, and that really gave it some substance and content." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- Although Andrew Robinson was a lot happier with the episode after Hans Beimler's rewrite, he still wasn't thrilled with the project; "It turned out okay, but it made me uneasy to do that character." Robinson's breakout performance had been as the Scorpio killer in the 1971 film Dirty Harry. For some years after that performance, Robinson had fought against being typecast as a psychopathic killer, and he was a little disappointed to see that now, 25 years later, he was presented with a Deep Space Nine script which depicted him as just such a psychopathic killer. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- According to the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion, this episode was quite controversial amongst the producers because of a racial slur made by a member of Starfleet, something with which Gene Roddenberry would have been aghast. When Amaro is talking about Stolzoff, he comments that he wants to kill the "spoon head" who killed her. According to René Echevarria, this line hadn't been scripted and hadn't been approved by the producers. This was because it was considered background dialogue, which isn't written into the script. All background dialogue is created on the ADR looping stage after the episode has been shot and it isn't approved by either Ira Steven Behr or Rick Berman. Usually, this is because such dialogue is barely audible, if audible at all. In this particular case however, the line could clearly be heard. The term 'spoonhead' had been introduced in "Things Past", but there it was spoken by a member of the Bajoran Resistance, a slightly different matter. As Echevarria explains, "here was a Starfleet officer basically making a racist slur, without it being commented on or corrected." One of Roddenberry's most important maxims was that there was no racism in Starfleet, so the worry was that this line was going against one of the basic principles of Star Trek. However, when Ira Behr and Rick Berman did finally hear the line, they chose to leave it in, as they felt it illustrated the pressure of the situation, and was appropriate given the circumstances. As Echevarria says, "it was racist. But it was also very real." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
Continuity and trivia Edit
- "Empok Nor" marked the first appearance of an environmental suit in a Star Trek episode since TOS: "Whom Gods Destroy", though environmental suits of various designs had been seen in the Star Trek films. The type of suit worn by Garak in this episode was designed for Star Trek: First Contact, and made several later appearances in Star Trek: Voyager. In addition, the new type 3 phaser rifle, also designed for First Contact, made its only appearance on Deep Space Nine in this episode.
- Sisko, Odo, Worf, Dax, Quark and Kira only appear in the teaser. Additionally, Bashir only appears during the last scene.
- With its focus on the lower ranked members of the away team, this episode bears some resemblance to the TNG episode, (TNG: "Lower Decks").
- Garak's conduct during the episode would stick with Nog – a few months later, after the outbreak of open warfare, the two would be sent out to find food and water on the unknown planet where their stolen Jem'Hadar fighter had crashed. As they walked, Nog made absolutely sure to stay behind the Cardassian, or at worst side-by-side. When Garak caught on to this and confronted him about it, correctly assuming it was related to the previous "unfortunate business" between them, Nog insisted that he would never turn his back on him again – to which an impressed Garak responded that "there may be hope for you yet". (DS9: "Rocks and Shoals")
- Several items from this episode were sold off on the It's A Wrap! sale and auction on eBay, including a Cardassian Terok Nor soldier metal badge [1] and a Cardassian cryo computer. [2]
- In the novel by Diane Carey, Station Rage, published 18 months before this episode aired, Odo and Miles O'Brien accidentally discover a room of Cardassian soldiers in stasis, and Elim Garak later awakens them.

I have started a new thread series!
This series will now ONLY discuss the beast in the title of the thread (in this case The Krayyt Dragon From ANH).
It is time Hasbro returned to making a standard beast assortment for the toys for the 3 3/4" action figure line!
I will cover several unmade beasts for the toy line per week, choosing them from a rotating schedule through anything from the movies that still has not yet been polled for and a few from the Expanded Universe.
I'll order it ANH, ESB, ROTJ, TPM, AOTC, ROTS, and the EU, and then keep going back through the order in that manner. (Caveat: right now the focus will be on the OT because there are still some vehicles I haven't covered from the PT and those films have selections you can vote on).
So here I'm only asking you if you'd buy The Krayyt Dragon From ANH?
This beast is going to be complicated.
For one: only the skeleton appeared in the actual movie (see image with C-3PO below). And for that reason, the skeleton must be included in the package. Now you can post that you'd prefer just the skeleton with some sort of battlepack with perhaps a bantha and a landspeeder, the escape pod, etc. - but please be specific. Also make sure you comment about whether you want the EU expansion on the beast also pictured below.
The EU version that expands upon this beast is going to be large. The box, though smaller width-wise and height-wise, could be as long as the TurboTank's, or an even better comparison might be the Hasbro Electronic Lightsaber line's shipping carton size (the ones you actually see stocked on the shelves in the store).
The EU is not very consistant on the length of the tail for a Krayyt Dragon.
In my mind, and by judging by the skeleton seen in the movie, I think this creature could resemble a carnivorous brontosaurus. A fault I find with the skeleton in the 1977 movie is that there is no evidence of legs on this creature. That skeleton might have well have been from a giant snake or "sand eel." But all the EU pictures show a Krayyt Dragon has legs.
OK - so articulate the legs at the hip joints. That's all that's necessary. However, some pictures show up to 6 pairs of legs on the Krayt Dragon!!! Actually, this is awesome (eat that Avatar!). I'd prefer that version: "the Greater Krayt Dragon." Now there are 4 legged versions that have been drawn. Please specify which you'd want.
A bendy-style tail might work well here.
The opening / snapping jaw should be offered as it was with Boga or the acklay beast.
A Tusken Raider would be the most appropriate pack-in figure, though C-3PO has a good (if boring) case for why he should be there.
I'm not sure what the MSRP for this beasts should be - but I think $30 at the most could still be fair. Add $5 more for a pack-in figure like a re-release of the 2003 Campfire Tusken Raider (I always liked that one and softgoods cost more, so I'm not going to campaign for the VOTC Raider). But I don't think this needs a pack-in. You either want it or you don't.
So do you want The Krayyt Dragon From ANH to be made?
How do you want it to be offered? (and PLEASE answer by including your thoughts on the actual "fleshed-out beast," whether you want it or not.) I would insist any fleshed-out "live beast" would also include the skeleton seen in the movie. Having the beast and no way to get the skeleton is NOT an option!
Why would you NOT want this?
How do you think it would sell if produced?
Since a live Krayyt Dragon is appearing in the Clone Wars cartoon, do you think it will help this creature's chances?
BTW - I suppose you can post if you would like this to be an animated version of the beast, but it still must come with the movie version of the skeleton EXCEPT if Hasbro is offering the movie skeleton in some other format. Remember, this poll is a submission for the ANH category.
Since ANH traditionally only has a few beasts:
Womprats / Desert Scurriers
I need to get creative to find movie offerings for these polls. There are actually a few more I could do that are not mentioned above. Maybe I'll surprise you?
