"One man's villain is another man's hero, captain."
- Dukat, 2373 ("By Inferno's Light")
Dukat, S.G. was a Cardassian military officer who served as Prefect of Bajor in the final years of the Bajoran Occupation. As the last person to hold the position, Dukat lost favor with Cardassian Central Command and fell into a downward spiral for several years. However, he became ruler of the Cardassian Union overnight after he negotiated Cardassia's entry into the Dominion. Following his defeat in Operation Return and the death of his beloved daughter, Ziyal, he suffered a complete mental breakdown and was captured by the Federation when they reclaimed DS9. He subsequently escaped, and became a disciple of the Pah-wraiths. Along with Kai Winn Adami, he attempted to release the Pah-wraiths into the Bajoran wormhole. Dukat was imprisoned in the Fire Caves with the Pah-wraiths after a fateful confrontation with the Emissary of the Prophets.
Career Edit
One of Dukat's first assignments was as a newly-minted glinn aboard the Kornaire. Among his tasks as a glinn was cleaning out a compartment where three men had gone through an explosive decompression, after which he could not sleep for a week. (DS9: "Waltz") At some point prior to being stationed on Bajor, Dukat was a legate, but he lost favor with Cardassian Central Command and was reduced to the rank of Gul. (DS9: "Indiscretion") He later rejected the title of legate because he felt Gul was more "hands on". (DS9: "Ties of Blood and Water")
Prefect of Bajor Edit
- "I only hope you won't condemn us all for the boorish behavior of one man."
- - Gul Dukat, 2346
By 2346, at the rank of gul, Dukat was made Prefect of Bajor. (DS9: "Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night") In 2360 he was assigned command of Terok Nor, the mining station and command post in orbit of Bajor that was later known as Deep Space 9. (DS9: "The Maquis, Part I") Dukat was the last Prefect of Bajor before the end of the Occupation. He was responsible for many atrocities committed against the Bajoran people, and became one of the most hated individuals in Bajoran history. (DS9: "Emissary")
According to Dukat, he was convinced that a gentler approach was needed to quell the Bajoran Resistance and make Bajor suitable for colonization. His first act as prefect was to cut labor camp output quotas by fifty percent, abolish child labor, and improve medical care and food rations. These measures led to a twenty percent drop in the camp death rates. However, the Resistance repaid him by destroying an orbital drydock on his one-month anniversary, killing two hundred Cardassians. During the Occupation, the Resistance attempted to assassinate Dukat five times, all of them unsuccessful. Dukat grew to hate the Bajorans for not acknowledging his "compassion" towards them. (DS9: "Things Past", "Waltz")
Despite his latter admission of hatred for his charges, he conducted numerous affairs with Bajoran women, including Kira Meru, mother of Kira Nerys, and Tora Naprem, whom he claimed to love, and with whom he fathered a daughter, Tora Ziyal. (DS9: "Indiscretion", "Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night") The general implication is that in Dukat's inner fantasies, he wanted the Bajoran people to embrace him as their superior and beloved master. In microcosm, he enjoyed indulging this fantasy by manipulating Bajoran comfort-women into falling in love with him, as if they represented all Bajorans.(DS9: "Waltz")
While prefect, Dukat reported to Legate Kell regularly; however, he did not have the respect from Kell that he was led to believe. Dukat created a counter-insurgency program to combat potential worker revolts on Terok Nor, but Kell secretly added a level to it in case Dukat tried to flee. The automated program was set to deal with various situations, the most severe of which was a complete takeover of the station. In the event that this happened, the program could initiate an auto-destruct sequence, and if Dukat tried to transport off the station while this sequence was in effect, his access codes would be nullified and he would be doomed to die with his station. (DS9: "Civil Defense")
Cardassian officer Edit
- "I've found that when one has a difficult job to do, personal reasons can be quite an incentive."
- - Dukat, 2372
Dukat strongly opposed the Cardassian withdrawal from Bajor in 2369, a move which damaged his career as it occurred during his administration, due to to the politicians, such Kotan Pa'Dar. During the evacuation, he had one of his female officers take Pa'Dar son Rugal to an orphanage after a bombing to , at some point, be used to humiliate Pa'Dar. After the withdrawal, Dukat became the commander of the Second Order. He played a major role in many interactions between the Cardassian military and the Federation for the next three years, and made several visits to his former command post, Deep Space 9, under various circumstances. (DS9: "Cardassians")
Dukat was implicated in the supplying of illegal weapons to Cardassian citizens in the Demilitarized Zone in 2370 by his political enemies, including Legate Parn. Dukat assisted Commander Benjamin Sisko in his investigation of the Maquis, so as to prove his innocence. He was briefly abducted by the Maquis, but he was rescued by Sisko. It emerged that the Cardassian Central Command was actually responsible for violating the Federation-Cardassian Treaty. (DS9: "The Maquis, Part I")
When the Cardassian Union underwent a revolution in 2372, Dukat sided with the victorious Detapa Council. He was promoted to Legate, and was made chief military adviser. Following the Klingon invasion of the Union, Dukat was able to evacuate the Council members to DS9 aboard the cruiser Prakesh, with the timely assistance of the USS Defiant. (DS9: "The Way of the Warrior")
Later that year, Dukat accompanied Kira Nerys to Dozaria to find the wreck of the Ravinok, a transport that had been lost several years earlier with Dukat's mistress, Tora Naprem, and his half-Bajoran daughter, Tora Ziyal, aboard. Dukat had initially intended to kill both Ziyal and Naprem, had they survived. However, after he found his daughter alive in the Breen mine, he decided to take her with him back to Cardassia, despite the effect it would have on his career. (DS9: "Indiscretion")
Fighting the Klingons Edit
- "Everything I have lost, I will regain."
- - Dukat, 2372
After he returned with Ziyal, Dukat was demoted and given command of a small freighter, the Groumall. His family disowned him, his wife and children left him, and both he and Ziyal were shunned by Cardassian society. The Groumall transported Kira to the outpost at Korma in 2372. After finding the outpost destroyed, Dukat and Kira were able to capture the Klingon Bird-of-Prey responsible. Dukat urged the Detapa Council to use his captured intelligence to mount a new offensive against the Klingons, but they rejected his proposal, preferring to seek a diplomatic option. (DS9: "Return to Grace")
Disgusted with the Council's unwillingness to fight, Dukat began to carry on his own one-ship war against the Klingons. In 2373, he and his ship helped an undercover Starfleet team, led by Sisko, infiltrate Klingon military headquarters on Ty'Gokor to expose a Changeling. (DS9: "Apocalypse Rising")
Alliance with the Dominion Edit
- "Cardassia will be made whole. All that we have lost will be ours again. And anyone who stands in our way will be destroyed. This I vow with my life's blood: for my son, for all our sons."
- - Gul Dukat, 2373
By 2373, Dukat became convinced that the only way to regain Cardassia's former glory was for them to join the Dominion. In secret talks, he negotiated Cardassia's entry into the Dominion with himself as ruler. Dukat promised to the Cardassian people that under his leadership, all that Cardassia lost would be regained. His move was initially celebrated by most Cardassians, who had suffered defeat and humiliation for years at the hands of the Federation and Klingons (DS9: "By Inferno's Light"). Dukat chose not to promote himself back to legate, since he saw the rank of gul as more "hands-on". (DS9: "Ties of Blood and Water") One of Dukat's first acts was to have his Dominion allies release all surviving Cardassians from Internment Camp 371 with one exception – Elim Garak, who had not only killed Dukat's father but had also fallen in love with Tora Ziyal. (DS9: "By Inferno's Light")
In the months after his taking office, Dukat made good on his promises by expelling the Klingons from Cardassian space and wiping out the Maquis with his newly gained Dominion allies. Dukat commanded the Dominion forces which retook Terok Nor from the Federation in late 2373. In the following weeks, Dukat directed the Dominion War from his old command, winning many early victories against the Federation and the Klingon Empire. Bringing in Dominion reinforcements from the Gamma Quadrant by re-opening the Bajoran wormhole was to be his greatest triumph. (DS9: "Call to Arms", "A Time to Stand")
However, victory was snatched from his grasp when the Dominion reinforcements were eliminated by the Prophets. As allied forces retook the station during Operation Return, Dukat – driven half-mad by his rapid change of fortune – descended into insanity after the murder of his beloved daughter Ziyal by Damar, his second-in-command. He refused to evacuate with the rest of the Dominion forces, and was captured by Starfleet. (DS9: "Sacrifice of Angels")
Madness Edit
- "They thought I was their enemy. They don't know what it is to be my enemy, but they will."
- - Dukat, 2374
Afterward, Dukat began suffering from hallucinations and fits of paranoia, and was treated by Federation doctors. After he was declared "recovered", Dukat was to be taken to a Special Jury at Starbase 621 aboard the USS Honshu to stand trial for war crimes. However, the Honshu was intercepted by Cardassian warships, and Dukat escaped to a nearby planet in a shuttlecraft with his nemesis, Benjamin Sisko. Dukat's hallucinations returned, and he attempted to kill Sisko before escaping in the shuttle. During his time on the planet, Dukat embraced his hatred for the Bajoran people, promising to one day return and rain destruction on all of Bajor. Even more than before, his actions became increasingly proactively evil. (DS9: "Waltz")
Pact with the Pah-wraiths Edit
- "Everyone has their reasons. That's what's so frightening. People can find a way to justify any action, no matter how evil."
- - Kira Nerys
Dukat was fond of Bajoran springwine. (DS9: "Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night")
In late 2374, Dukat believed he had found a way to destroy the Bajoran people and their Emissary, Sisko. Having immersed himself in the ancient Bajoran texts, he discovered that the wormhole was actually the Celestial Temple. He returned to Cardassia Prime and enacted an ancient Bajoran ritual to release a Pah-wraith into his body. Thus possessed, he traveled to Deep Space 9 and released it into the Celestial Temple via the Orb of Contemplation, causing the wormhole to disappear. In the process, Dukat killed Jadzia Dax, who was simply in his way. (DS9: "Tears of the Prophets")
His inhabitation by the Pah-wraith had turned Dukat into their believer; subsequently he retreated to station Empok Nor and founded a community of members from the Cult of the Pah-wraiths. He was worshiped as a messiah, and fathered another half-Bajoran child with Mika. Dukat never publicly admitted fatherhood. Dukat attempted to have the cult members commit suicide to conceal his attempt to kill Mika. When he was exposed, he fled again. (DS9: "Covenant")
In late 2375, Dukat secretly underwent cosmetic surgery on Cardassia Prime to pose as a Bajoran farmer, Anjohl Tennan. He then traveled to Deep Space 9 and gained the confidence of Kai Winn Adami and even became romantically involved with her - albeit for ulterior motives - and with the assistance of false visions given to Winn by the Pah-wraiths, he slowly convinced her to join him as a follower of the Pah-wraiths. The two plotted to release the Pah-wraiths from their prison in the Fire Caves, using the Book of the Kosst Amojan.
The pair entered the Fire Caves, where Winn poisoned Dukat as a sacrifice to complete the release ritual. However, the Pah-wraiths rejected Winn and chose Dukat as their Emissary, restoring him to life, returning his Cardassian features, and imbuing him with their power. After Dukat killed Winn, Sisko plunged himself and Dukat into the fires, which destroyed the book and trapped Dukat forever in the prison with the Pah-wraiths. Sisko himself was rescued by the Prophets. (DS9: "The Changing Face of Evil", "What You Leave Behind")
Family and personal relationships Edit
Dukat was married and had seven children with his wife, including a son named Mekor. However, he also kept several Bajoran mistresses when he was Prefect on Terok Nor during the Bajoran Occupation. (DS9: "The Maquis, Part I", "Defiant", "Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night")
Benjamin SiskoEdit
Dukat had a strange relationship with Benjamin Sisko, who was in many ways his counterpart and opposite. Dukat saw Sisko as a friend and viewed him with a great deal of respect, although that view was not shared by Sisko. However, after Dukat realized his hatred for the Bajorans and made his promise to destroy Bajor, he and Sisko became mortal enemies. They would eventually confront one another one last time in the Fire Caves. (DS9: "Waltz", "What You Leave Behind")
Dukat's closest friend was Damar, who served under him when he commanded the transport ship and later the stolen Klingon Bird-of-Prey and was his adjutant during his time as leader of the Cardassian Union. Dukat found Damar "useful" and despite the fact it was Damar who shot and killed his daughter, he later forgave Damar and came to him for help in his plan to release the Pah-Wraiths, even encouraging him to once again become the brave man he had fought with years before. (DS9: "Return to Grace", "Sacrifice of Angels", "Penumbra")
Dukat also had a good working relationship with his Dominion ally Weyoun, and although they would occasionally antagonize one another, there was a mutual respect between the two. Dukat even gave Weyoun a picture his daughter Ziyal had painted. (DS9: "Tears of the Prophets", "Penumbra", "'Til Death Do Us Part")
Elim GarakEdit
Dukat had a deep-seated personal hatred of Garak, stemming largely from the death of his father. As an agent of the Obsidian Order, Garak tortured and killed Dukat's father, though the reason for the arrest and interrogation is never mentioned. Dukat used those events to try to dissuade his daughter Ziyal from her relationship with Garak. This relationship with his daughter only strengthened Dukat's animosity toward Garak, driving Dukat to nearly kill him in Quark's Bar in 2373. (DS9: "In Purgatory's Shadow") Dukat had at least one opportunity have Garak executed in the time prior to his exile, and tried to do so, but, as Garak mockingly pointed out, failed, much to Dukat's later regret. (DS9: "Civil Defense")
Kira NerysEdit
In the years after the Occupation, Dukat and Kira crossed paths many times.
Dukat was fascinated by Kira. Indeed, it is hinted on several occasions that Dukat is romantically interested in her, referring to her as a "fascinating woman". Dukat complimented Kira on her talents and skills more than once, much to her disgust. He seemed to be determined to win Kira's respect and acknowledgement as a sort of vindication from his past actions. At times, however, both seemed to enjoy each other's company to an extent, and are able to work together when it is required. For example, Dukat joined Kira on a mission to find the transport ship Ravinok, and the two successfully located the remaining crewmembers and worked out a plan to rescue the prisoners. Kira also convinced him to spare his illegitimate half-Bajoran daughter and accept her into his life. (DS9: "Indiscretion")
Additionally, when Dukat's ship transported Kira travels to a conference, the two enjoyed a meal together and subsequently worked together to stop a group of Klingons operating behind Cardassian borders. Seeing that his new life of terrorism against the Klingons was not a good one for his daughter, Dukat allowed Kira to take Ziyal back to DS9 with her. This development pleased Dukat because he and Kira now had something in common. (DS9: "Return to Grace") Given this somewhat mother-like role he perceived Kira having for his daughter, Dukat blamed her when he discovered Ziyal had become romantically involved with Garak. (DS9: "In Purgatory's Shadow")
Dukat and Kira's relationship took on a much darker tone during the Dominion War when Dukat took over as commander of Dominion-occupied DS9. Dukat made a few rather obvious advances towards Kira which she rebuffed with disgust. Later, after he had become a disciple of the Pah-Wraiths, Dukat had Kira kidnapped to Empok Nor, where he tried in vain to convince her to join the Cult of the Pah-Wraiths community he had established there. (DS9: "Covenant")
Kira MeruEdit
Kira Meru was one of Dukat's comfort woman on Terok Nor during the Bajoran Occupation, with whom he fell in love and was involved for seven years before her death in 2353. Years later, Dukat developed an attraction to Meru's daughter, Kira Nerys, the first officer of Deep Space Nine. (DS9: "Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night")
Tora ZiyalEdit
Towards the end of the Occupation, Dukat fell in love with another Bajoran woman, Tora Naprem, and the two had a daughter named Tora Ziyal. Dukat sent the pair away to Lissepia in 2366, though their ship was shot down by the Breen on Dozaria. Ziyal survived and was forced to labor in a Breen dilithium mine until Dukat rescued her in 2372. Tradition demanded that he kill her, but Dukat couldn't bring himself to do so, so he took her back to Cardassia Prime with him, whereupon he was severely ostracized. His wife and children left him and his mother disowned him. (DS9: "Indiscretion", "Return to Grace")
When Dukat became a terrorist in the Klingon-Cardassian War, he sent Ziyal to live on Deep Space 9 under the care of Kira, with whom she had formed a close relationship. (DS9: "Return to Grace") During the first Dominion offensive, Ziyal helped Kira and others in their efforts to sabotage the station and get it back into Federation hands. After the Dominion was forced to abandon DS9, Damar overheard Ziyal admit that she'd helped Kira and the other saboteurs escape and killed her before Dukat's eyes, declaring her a traitor. She died in Dukat's arms, an experience that left him deeply scarred and, together with the defeat in battle, was the beginning of his downward spiral into madness. (DS9: "Sacrifice of Angels") He subsequently spent many months under the psychological care of Federation doctors, often calling out Ziyal's name. (DS9: "Waltz")

"Are you INSANE"?
Dukat to Weyoun after the latter downs a glass of poison DS9: "Ties of Blood and Water"
"They thought I was their enemy. They don't know what it is to be my enemy, but they will."
"Still calling yourself 'Gul'? I'm surprised you haven't promoted yourself back to legate by now."
"I prefer the title 'Gul'; so much more hands-on than Legate. And less pretentious than the other alternatives: President, Emperor, First Minister... Emissary."
- -Sisko and Dukat DS9: "Ties of Blood and Water"
"Cardassia will be made whole. All that we have lost will be ours again. And anyone who stands in our way will be destroyed. This I vow with my life's blood: for my son, for all our sons."
"One man's villain is another man's hero, captain."
-Dukat DS9: "By Inferno's Light"
Background Information Edit
- Marc Alaimo was not the first choice to play Dukat. For "Emissary", another actor was cast in the role, but after a day's shooting, the producers decided that they had miscast, and they asked Alaimo to come in and take over the role. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- Dukat's initials (S.G.) come from the episode DS9: "A Time to Stand", in which Dukat records a permanent documentation file identifying himself as "Dukat, S.G." DS9 producer Ronald D. Moore jokingly gave Dukat's first name as "Elmo" on several occasions, (AOL chat, 1997) but in the novels published by Pocket Books, Dukat's first name is identified as "Skrain." Moore commented: "The initials probably represent some rank or association or achievement (like Ph.d, or A.S.C., or J.D.)." (AOL chat, 1997)
- StarTrek.com describes Dukat as "probably the most complex and fully developed bad guy in Star Trek history." [X]wbm
- In 2002, Dukat placed fourth in TV Zone's list of the top twenty science fiction television villains. The Borg Queen was second, Weyoun was eighth, Q was eleventh and Seska was eighteenth.
- Nana Visitor has said of Dukat, "This was a character who was the worst people we have had on Earth, this is who this man was." (Hidden File 02, DS9 Season 6 DVD special features)
- On Dukat's role as villain, Ronald D. Moore has commented: "I don't think of him as being completely evil through and through to the point where every thought, every impulse is shaded by a nefarious agenda or horrid motive. We've seen other aspects to this guy over the years. He can be charming. He can be generous. He can do the right thing. All of that somehow makes his "evil" actions all the more despicable, because we know that there was the potential in there for him to be a better person. But sometimes the clichés are true: Hitler loved his dog. No human being (and by extension, no Cardassian) is one hundred percent pure evil. But there is a "critical mass", if you will, where the dark deeds attributed to one person become so overwhelming that they swamp all the redeeming characteristics. Dukat is a bad guy. A very bad guy. He has a lot of blood on his hands and it's hard to see how his smile and innate charm can wipe that clean." (AOL chat, 1998)
- In 2003, Marc Alaimo commented on his portrayal of Dukat, "I thought the character was terrific. It was one of the first times I'd been able to really sort of expand a multifaceted character like that, instead of one dimensional, which is I think the way they wanted to go with Dukat in the beginning, but I started to sort of branch off emotionally, and they picked up on it, and they gave me all these wonderful multifaceted character moments. I was pretty proud of my work throughout the whole seven years of it." (Hidden File 01, DS9 Season 7 DVD special features)
- The stunt costume used for Dukat in DS9: "Covenant" was auctioned off in the It's A Wrap! sale and auction on eBay, as well as the Breen coolsuit worn by Alaimo in the episode "Indiscretion". [1]
Apocrypha Edit
In the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine relaunch novels, specifically Demons of Air and Darkness, the resemblance between Dukat and Macet (both played by Marc Alaimo) is explained, stating that they are cousins.
In the Millennium series, which begins shortly before Dukat released the Pah-Wraith that drove him to Deep Space 9 where he killed Jadzia and briefly closed the wormhole, Dukat's discovery of Sisko's apparent death with the creation of the Pah-wraith wormhole drove him to once again create the Cult of the Pah-wraiths on Empok Nor (now relocated to DS9's original position), becoming one with Kosst Amojan. Regarding himself as the Pah-wraith Emissary, Dukat developed a vendetta against Weyoun, who had proclaimed himself the Emissary of the True Prophets and sought to end the universe by combining the two wormholes. When the Defiant reappeared, Dukat briefly confronted Sisko and Weyoun after luring the two into the mirror universe, but, when this attempt to kill them failed, Dukat returned to our reality and managed to capture O'Brien, Quark, Rom and Garak. With these prisoners/crew, Dukat forced them to take an advanced Klingon ship to follow Weyoun and the Defiant into the wormholes before the end of the universe.
Having been easily knocked out by his former "prisoners" after freeing them from their Pah-Wraith induced Hells, Dukat was no longer empowered by the Pah-Wraiths as their "conflict" with the Prophets was now over. Dukat subsequently managed to escape to a past version of Deep Space 9, where he committed a murder that Odo had been investigating prior to the destruction of the station, but, in a somewhat ironic twist (given that his alternate past self would go on to kill her), after the crew prevented the red wormhole from ever opening, Dukat was shot in the back by Dax when he was distracted.
His mirror universe counterpart is depicted as the Supreme Legate of the Cardassian Union in the novels Saturn's Children and Rise Like Lions.

Joe's bar
From Battlestar Wiki, the free, open content Battlestar Galactica encyclopedia and episode guide
Revision as of 15:57, 18 December 2011 by Leigh Burne (Talk | contribs)
Joe's bar is a drinking establishment on Galactica.
It is located behind a storage area on one of the hangar decks, probably in the largely unused starboard flight pod, and run by a civilian, for whom it is named after. Charlie Connor also works as barman there.
Lee Adama seems to be a good friend of Joe. The two might know each other from elsewhere in the Fleet, or Adama spent some time at the bar before introducing Tyrol to it.
The bar includes a pool-like table and a Pyramid arcade game for entertainment. A distiller is present to produce fresh alcohol.
A Viper Mk II is suspended from the ceiling above the bar. It is likely just an airframe that was stripped of all useful parts, like the scrapped Viper 289.
At some point, a piano was also added to the establishment. ("Deadlock"; Kara Thrace notices the piano for the first time, suggesting it's a new addition).

To begin with the car park on Show case cinema is very large, but on a weekend or Wednesday night, it tents to get quite busy but there will usually be a few spaces around the back past the bowling away from the restaurants and bowling.
Showcase offers both standard seats and premier seats. The standard seats have enough room for someone under six foot, but for myself being six foot two, there is not much leg room, especially if someone is sitting in front of you and their seat is pushed back. The seats are comfortable, but if your watching a long film, you tend to get a little numb, but that may just be from sitting still for hours.
The premier area is much better. Once you've walked up the stairs to the premier area, there is a small bar which offers a range of drinks both none alcoholic and alcoholic. They are also not too expensive, usually around £2.50 for a J20. There is a number of seating areas with a large flat screen TV in the centre. There are also a number of more private sitting areas with small seats which adds to the luxury. The premier seats are like small sofas, which are very comfortable. The tables that are at the side of the seats could do with being a lot larger because when the foot is brought, there is not enough room for a drink and a plate. The sofas will seat three people, which causes a problem when there are three people together as one would have to be slightly away from the others which is bad.
The food which is given has dropped in standard recently. There used to be a plate per person, consisting of crisps, chicken wings, chocolate and a muffin, but now there is only one plate between two, and only chocolates, muffins and crisps.
Also, there are no toilets upstairs, which is disappointing as you have to walk up and down a flight of stairs, which if your in the middle of a film, you could miss over 5 minutes.
The prices to dent to vary each time you visit but below is a hopefully accurate list:
- £5.36 weekend evening
- £5.00 weekend day
- £5.39 weekday night
- £4.93 weekday day time
- £12.50 anytime for premier
There is also Student discount available but this is not for premier seats.
On Wednesday, after looking at several cinemas in Leicester I decided to go to see The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus at the Showcase Cinema De Lux. The cinema is located near the High Cross Shopping centre in Leicester. It is near lots of yummy restaurants and I went for steak before going to see the film. The entrance to the cinema is a small foyer where you buy your tickets. There were three or four counters to buy tickets, as well as places to pick tickets up if you had pre-booked. I hadn't pre-booked and I showed up an hour before the film started to get the tickets before going for dinner. There was no queue and I was pleased to find the prices were the same as at other showcase cinemas. They hadn't hiked the prices up because it was "delux". I got a student ticket for £5.50 which is cheaper than most other cinemas that I know of.
When I returned an hour later to see the film I was pleased to see a nice long queue of people waiting to get tickets, as I went straight to the escalator and rode it up to the next floor. The escalator opened up to a nice open area where the confectionary stands were. To the right was a posh restaurant called "Studio One" and more escalators up to the next floor. At the restaurant you could get two for one cocktails ;) which I am pretty sure you can take into the cinema with you. The prices of the confectionary were also standard to other showcase cinemas and on a par with cinemas like the odeon and vue. Unfortunately I felt a little let down by the ambiance of the cinema. I had heard that it was meant to be very posh and high-tech but the floor was dirty and the lighting was very clinical. There was a big 3D deluxe sign which you could sit in which looked out over Leicester, but we did not have time to sit down and watch people buying their popcorn as we had a film to catch. We queued up for food and were served promptly and relatively efficiently, the steward forgot our order a few times but she was obviously run off her feet and so we were very forgiving lol. We managed to get a large popcorn, large drink, medium drink and 2 tubs of Ben and Jerry's for £13.50. The large popcorn was to share and we were a little disappointed by the size of it. The large at the Odeon is probably twice the size of the showcase version of large (although the drinks have no difference). You can get a supersize at the Showcase but they should really warn you before you order that their large is actually a medium (especially as the steward did not fill it to the top and then proceeded to spill some when she put it down and did not bother refilling it).
Next stop was of course the toilets, being females I can only talk about the ladies, but I assume the mens would not have been too different. The toilets were pretty standard of any cinema, black floors, doors and walls, low level lighting, posh sinks with sensored flushes and taps. BUT NO SOAP! That's right, the "Posh" cinema had absolutely no soap in the toilets! They did not even have soap dispensers! Poor toilet planning!! ... moving on lol. We walked down to our screen and I was fairly annoyed to find that the door to the cinema had to be opened out toward you, with hands full of drinks and popcorn this was quite a struggle, it would have been much better to have doors which opened in and you could push with a shoulder or foot, rather than juggle the confectionary. (you may think I am being picky lol, but i was still a little annoyed about the soap at this point)
You don't get assigned seats in a showcase, which is great, you can sit where you want when you judge where is best based on the size and position of the screen. The cinema was about half full by the time we arrived and so we sat to the side. The chairs were great! Really great!! They not only tilted back slightly, to ease that crick in your neck you may experience sitting in some areas of the cinema but they were also moulded, like sport car's seats to your back so it is supported. Most definitely the best seats I have sat in in a cinema! They was ample leg room and the seats were lovely and wide, I had great fun rocking myself in one. The only downfall is that it is quite possible that you will easily fall asleep in them. There was also a nice big cup holder by each seat, big enough to take the large cup (unlike at the Odeon).
The lights went down and the adverts began, well I say adverts, I mean trailers. Because either I blocked them out of memory and had a black out for fifteen minutes OR the cinema did not play adverts!! Fantastic! I hate having them forced down my throat at cinemas; I don't watch them on t.v I don't want to pay to watch them at a cinema! The screen that we went in (4) was pretty typical of the average cinema, nothing big or special about it. I'm not sure about any other screens as this was my first visit. The only problem I did find was that at certain points the film's volume got a bit too loud, it made me squint because of the noise. I'm not someone that doesn't like loud movies, I love action films and explosions but for the film I was watching the volume was a bit loud in places. I left screening room after a fairly weird film and made my way to the exit. My experience of the showcase delux was pretty average, on a par with other cinemas and not overly special. As you don't pay anything extra for the delux I wasn't too disappointed.
There are premium experiences you can have at the cinema though. You can see films in the directors Hall, where the seats are leather and its over 18's only after 8pm. There is a lounge attached to the hall where you can go for a drink before and after the film and you can hire the whole screen out for birthdays or special events. This sounds like a great idea to me, an avid film buff, especially for the release of a big blockbuster! You can buy giftcards for showcase on their website if you want to treat someone special.
There is no parking at the actual cinema location, but it is very near high cross and so you can park in that car park for a fee of £2 after 5pm. Don't forget, if you're not familiar with Highcross that the shops shut at 8pm so if your film ends after this then you'll have to get to the car park through some side doors. I was not aware of this fact and ended up circling Highcross twice before someone told me where to go, lol.
The showcase cinema de lux has recently opened in Cabot Circus in Bristol and is one of the flagship "stores" right up on the top floor. The fully glass fronted cinema is always clean, tidy and well kept as is the inside. When you walk into the lobby the first thing that hits you is the space, it is really well laid out. Automatic ticket machines are just to your left where you can pick up pre-booked tickets, purchase tickets (instead of queuing) and also buy confectionary vouchers - which basically means you pre order all your cinema nibbles, pay there and don't have to queue to pick it up - ingenious idea! In the left-hand corner are the ticket sales, be careful there are two queues! The first is for standard tickets and to be honest certainly in Bristol there is generally a queue but to the right of this queue is the Directors hall ticket sales (I'll come back to the Director's hall later). On the far wall of the lobby is the confectionary stalls - offering all the usual cinema eats but on the opposite wall is a restaurant that is fully licensed!
To head up to the cinema screens there are escalators and lifts at the back of the lobby - after you display your tickets. Now there are 13 screens in total - 11 standard screens and 2 Director's screens. The standard screens are all located just off the escalators, where there is another place to buy nibbles (generally very quiet) and also some nice leather sofas so that you don't have to stand and wait to get into the screen - another great idea! I have been in a couple of the different standard screens and they are quiet spacious, with good leg room and well padded seats, toilets are well distributed between screens so that if you do need to nip out it wont take you too long!
Now the Directors screens and Director's lounge! This is just a great idea. Tickets to the Director's area will cost you more - its roughly £4.50 more than a standard ticket but with great benefits. The Director's lounge is fully licensed and also serves nibbles - all of which can be taken into or delivered to you in the cinema. The cinema itself is huge! The seats are more like sofas, leather and quiet large, generally separated into two's with the exception of the disabled areas. Each seat has a small wooden table that can be pulled across from the arm to sit basically across your lap to hold drinks and food. It really is very comfortable and more like watching a movie at home but with a really big screen and great sound.
Overall the cinema is definitely De Lux, well kept, clean, tidy and with friendly staff makes for a great evening out.
The Showcase Cinema De Lux has recently opened in the new Cabot Circus shopping centre in Bristol, and it's the creme de la creme of cinema going! Compared to the city centres other cinema, the Odeon, the Showcase is like visiting the Oscars!
Despite being a little more pricey than other cinemas, Showcase De Lux still offers student discounts and Orange Wednesdays which makes going to the cinema an affordable evening out and a delight with such a swish cinema to visit!
The entrance is huge, with a fully licensed bar, restaurant, reception desk, toilets and snacks bar! And the popcorn and drinks are surprisingly good value for money in a cinema of such high standards!
The seats are comfy and all screen rooms are big and clean. The screens and surround sound are brilliant, though at times it can get a bit loud! The staff are helpful and it's a wonderful, relaxing cinema experience.
Compared to the other two cinemas in leicester: Odean and Vue, this is very high class and completely new to leicester. With elavators going up to the screens and down to back to the enterance, which i think is a great idea.
Its very busy. I am currently an insider of the cinema, which allows you to get exclusive previews to new films and other such offers.
The prices are good, pretty much like most cinemas. Also there is parking in the highcross carpark, which is not even a five minute walk away.
Also in the cinema is a bar, i guess for before and after a film, i think its a nice idea i havent had a drink from there but it seems quite fancy.
The screens are pretty much like normal cinemas until you sit down on the seats and have the opportunity to tilt back.
I personally like the cinema as i live in leicester and its new and different. But im sure others would also enjoy it too
At present, there are three Showcase Cinema De Lux's in the UK. They are in the following places:
Highcross, Leicester
Westfield Centre, Derby
Cabot Circus, Bristol
I recently went to watch 'Quantum of Solace' at the Showcase cinema in Bristol. I was able to book my ticket online and was able to choose the sea. During the booking process, you have the option to print the ticket at home or collect it at the cinema. There is a 60p booking fee booking online or on the phone.
The general daytime ticket price is £6 and the evening price is £7 for adults. There is 50p reduction for Children and OAPs. These were the prices that were displayed on 31 Oct 2008.
The cinema in Bristol is on two levels, and there are 13 screens, 5 on the entrance level and the rest on the upper level. 3 screens are in the Directors Lounge and hall.
The Directors' lounge and hall is a real luxury where cinema goers can enjoy ultimate luxury, with the premium screens having extra wide leather seats with adjustable tables. Exclusive access to the Director's lounge is included. The lounge is where guests can eat dinner and have drinks before or after the movie. As well as the normal drinks, you can buy cocktails and wine, plus hot food. I didn't find out how much it would cost to watch a film in this area.
In the other screens, hot foods and drinks are available.

In this flailing economy, I have been searching for a semi-solid investment—something to see me through my semi-retirement years. I think I found it.
It has easily sourced raw materials, bio-degradable packaging and multiple applications. And so far, it's legal.
I call it Bag O' Poop. Catchy, eh? The idea came to me as I was walking my Schnauzer late one night in the city. In the new economy, old specters of street crime, once almost obliterated, have been reborn. You can hardly wear jewelry anymore without it being snatched, and forget chatting on your i-Phone, Kim. It's as good as gone. You need Bag O' Poop!
Now that law enforcement has cornered the market on pepper spray, regular civilians need protection (often from law enforcement.) Bag O' Poop comes in a handy bag that can be attached to a purse handle or carried freely. Bag O' Poop 1.0 comes in a bright blue, recognizable from a distance, providing a handy deterrent effect. Designers are working on future models, including a cheetah print for nights out on the town. It is fashionable for men and women, and even those who fall somewhere in between. When confronted by an attacker, Bag O' Poop can be swung tauntingly or smushed in the attacker's face, creating an olfactory offensive as well as a bloody mess.
It's perfect for pedestrian use against hemi-zealots. A tossed Bag O' Poop will hardly be noticed until the road-rager is home in his garage wondering where that smell is coming from. And Bag O' Poop can be carried through metal detectors without fear. Just last week, I was subjected to a full-body scan at the airport because I had forgotten that my Swiss army knife was hidden in my carry-on. I was given the option of a pat-down—rather eagerly, I thought—by the Homeland Security agent, but I opted for the machine scan. Bag O' Poop could have easily passed that test.
For now, my Schnauzer, mini in name only, is providing the raw material for my new product. But I foresee a time when rescue shelters will be converted into Bag O' Poop factories: a whole new industry right here in the Catskills. Out-of-work actors will star in TV commercials portraying both Bag O' Poop users and receivers.
Imagine the peace of mind Bag O' Poop will provide the elderly (who will have the option of providing their own raw material.) Perhaps Obamacare will add poop bags to Medicare, thereby making Bag O' Poop an entitlement. Funding could come from the ensuing reduction in prison costs as criminals resort to white-collar crimes that can't be stopped with Bag O' Poop. Or can they? I think I just came up with a new application. Just take Bag O' Poop to your next appointment with your financial advisor. You may not even have to use it. Bag O' Poop is a great deterrent. Just knowing it's there has made me feel safe—even on Wall Street. And once Bag O' Poop is a commodity, all streets will be clear of offending messes as resourceful street-people collect errant packages to re-sell.
I plan to start beta-testing Bag O' Poop with the Occupy Movement. I'll propose it to the General Assembly. "Mic check," "Mic check," "Bag O' Poop!" "Bag O' Poop!" I can promote it as a solution to their own sanitation problems and as a legal (for now) self-defense method against over-zealous law enforcement. Why, there might be poop flying all over Wall Street before I'm done.
Join the Bag O' Poop revolution! Carry one with you wherever you go. "Reduce, re-use, recycle" is Bag O' Poop's motto. You only need to use it once to know it works!

"Never underestimate the power of a mother," said Lackawanna County assistant district attorney Eugene Talerico Jr. of April Loposky, as cheers erupted from a large crowd assembled at the Wallenpaupack Visitors Center during the first "Light the Night for Marley's Mission" on July 29 in Hawley.
Loposky responded with gratitude for supporters of the non-profit organization she founded following a life-altering tragedy that occurred in 2009. Loposky's five-year-old daughter, Kodee, was brutally assaulted and nearly killed by 40-year-old Felix E. Montoya, who attacked the child in her home in Taylor late at night on July 5. Montoya was captured by police and is serving a life sentence.
The devastation that ensued from the trauma led the family to key individuals as they slowly began to reclaim their lives and work toward healing. An important part of that process would ultimately involve horses. After limited success with traditional therapy, a horse was brought into Kodee's therapy regimen, producing a recognizable change in the child.
Loposky realized that, if horses could have such a positive impact on her child, other young victims of abuse also might benefit from equine interaction. She researched the issue, then prepared a convincing presentation and began approaching potential partners, such as Talerico, who had prosecuted the case. Talerico never hesitated and now serves as president of the Marley's Mission board.
Today, the non-profit organization, named after Kodee's guinea pig, Marley, provides horse-based therapy free of charge to children and their families who have experienced trauma.
Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) supports those who have experienced abuse and suffer with depression, anxiety and other symptoms. EAP also yields psychotherapeutic benefits, such as building confidence, improving communication, reducing anxiety and most importantly, restoring trust.
Treatment teams include trained trauma therapists and equine specialists educated in the internationally recognized EAP model developed by the Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association. With the assistance of the treatment team, the child learns an alternative way of expressing his or her feelings through interaction with the horse.
During the "Light the Night" event, Loposky gave a presentation about Marley's Mission, which now serves seven counties in Northeastern PA and, since July 6, 2010, has treated 150 children who are suffering from physical, verbal or sexual abuse; bullying; illness or death of a family member; medical trauma and more.
Following Loposky, Hawley mayor Kevin Hawk presented a proclamation declaring July 29 "Marley's Mission Day" in Hawley. Talerico shared news that the organization, which currently operates from a rented farm in Lake Ariel, PA, will be relocating to a permanent property made available through the generosity of several benefactors. The organization's name will change to Marley's Mission on Matt Burne Acres at Eckel Farms.
The crowd then walked to the nearby dam overlooking Lake Wallenpaupack to light more than 100 biodegradable white lanterns. Exclamations and murmurs of delight emanated from the flame-lit faces as young and old alike released the glowing lamps to drift into the darkening sky above a collection of boats bobbing on the inky water.
Board member Justin Genzlinger and other local sponsors who hosted the special event hope to see it become an annual tradition. Genzlinger noted that a significant number of children from Wayne and Pike counties receive services free of charge at Marley's Mission and encouraged everyone to do their part to sustain the important work that happens there.
The organization is always in need of volunteers, but it is currently most in need of financial support to fund the transition to its new location and to help keep its services free to all who seek them. Donations made payable to "Marley's Mission" may be mailed to PO Box 505, Scranton, PA 18501.

A quality management system (QMS) can be defined as the managing structure, responsibilities, procedures, processes, and management resources to implement the principles and action lines needed to achieve the quality objectives of an organization. The definition of a QMS is evolving into a definition of an effective management system. QMS is not an addition to an organization but an integral part of its management and production.
Why should a utility laboratory implement and embrace a QMS? An effective QMS does not independently make an organization more profitable, efficient, or customer-focused, but it will give to an organization the ability to improve everything from production to sales. Unlike a commercial laboratory, where a QMS can lead to increased business and revenue, a QMS for a utility laboratory is a matter of risk management
What every operator should know about laboratory quality assurance and control
This article is a table listing the principles and practical considerations of quality assurance/quality control, standard operating procedures, precision, accuracy, control samples, traceability, data review, and audits.
Good lab practices are essential but require careful consideration and consensus. To ensure lab workers who are members of the Water Environment Federation (WEF; Alexandria, Va.) are getting the information and advocacy they need, the WEF Laboratory Practices Committee (LPC) formed a revitalization team in April — an ad hoc leadership group with the goal of increasing committee membership, engagement, and output.
"The committee has been too dormant over the last few years," said Devon Morgan, LPC chair. "We were not addressing our objectives or the needs of the lab community."
"We are getting the energy flowing back into the committee, so that it can serve as a resource for the rest of the lab world," Morgan said. Throughout the year, the revitalization team has proven that water is worth their passion and effort — using biweekly conference calls to plan a number of new initiatives.
A team of researchers have unlocked a clue to how the widely used Fenton reaction works —it all depends on the acidity.
Andreja Bakac and Oleg Pestovsky, scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy Ames Laboratory, and chemistry graduate student Hajem Bataineh have proved that the reaction, which uses hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and iron to destroy wastewater contaminants, can take different paths depending on the pH of the reaction environment.
The reaction is important in the wastewater treatment industry for destroying hazardous organic chemicals.

Because Knetbooks knows college students. Our rental program is designed to save you time and money. Whether you need a textbook for a semester, quarter or even a summer session, we have an option for you. Simply select a rental period, enter your information and your book will be on its way!
This book is a comprehensive account of five extended modules covering the key branches of twentieth-century theoretical physics, taught by the author over a period of three decades to students on bachelor and master university degree courses in both physics and theoretical physics.
The modules cover nonrelativistic quantum mechanics, thermal and statistical physics, many-body theory, classical field theory (including special relativity and electromagnetism), and, finally, relativistic quantum mechanics and gauge theories of quark and lepton interactions, all presented in a single, self-contained volume.
In a number of universities, much of the material covered (for example, on Einstein's general theory of relativity, on the BCS theory of superconductivity, and on the Standard Model, including the theory underlying the prediction of the Higgs boson) is taught in postgraduate courses to beginning PhD students.
A distinctive feature of the book is that full, step-by-step mathematical proofs of all essential results are given, enabling a student who has completed a high-school mathematics course and the first year of a university physics degree course to understand and appreciate the derivations of very many of the most important results of twentieth-century theoretical physics.

A woman is suing a plastic surgeon after he posted before and after photos of her facial reconstruction surgery on his website without her consent, labeling them "cocaine nose."
The Chicago Tribune reports that Sabrina Kropp claims Dr. Robert Walton took the photographs of her face in 2004 with the understanding that the images were for her medical records only, according to the lawsuit.
However, Kropp claims the doctor published the photos of her face on his practice's website without her consent, labeling them "cocaine nose."
"Cocaine nose" is listed on Walton's website as a nasal reconstruction surgery that is described as "perforations of the septum, infection, loss of supporting cartilage, scarring and eventual collapse of the nose" that can occur after chronic cocaine use.
Kropp says seeing the photos published on the website caused her "to become distressed, shamed and embarrassed."
Walton, his practice, the University of Chicago Medical Center (where Walton was employed at the time Kropp was his patient) and the company that designed and developed Walton's plastic surgery business website are all named as defendants in the lawsuit.

My son is 3 weeks old today, however they didn't catch his tongue-tie until he was 2 weeks old. His pediatrician wanted me to wait until next week for a feeding study after another weight check. I chose not to, and am glad I did, as the lactation consultant found that he was having a difficult time transferring milk. I'd already started to supplement with pumped milk because of the nipple pain (he's chewing my nipple at this point to aid in transfer), and the LC told me to continue with that.
This was this past Thurs, 2 days ago, now I am so sore, I am finding myself supplementing nearly 1/2 his feedings. He will stay at the breast for 1-2 hours, and then be hungry again in 30 mins. I'm concerned that I'm going to start losing my supply or that I didn't get much of a supply to begin with due to inefficient feeding.
We see the pediatrician on Tuesday, and hopefully will get the arrangements made to have his frenulum clipped ASAP. The LC has advised it needs to be done soon or I will be having supply issues if I'm not already.
I'm wondering if anyone has experience with a tongue-tied infant, how the clipping went, and any advice to help with the possible supply issue? (I try to pump as often as I can, but it usually only ends up being twice a day, and I get around 60 mL, more or less each time).

Intel Corp. and Toyota Motor Corp. have announced that the companies are working together to define next-generation in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) systems that will enable new usage models for mobile device connectivity in the car.
Intel and Toyota aim to integrate advanced technologies in the vehicle in a more intuitive manner that reduces driver distraction. To accomplish this, the companies will focus research on developing a user interaction methodology including touch, gesture and voice technologies as well as information management for the driver. Intel will also work to optimize these features and services using the performance of the Intel Atom processor family.
The companies will also explore emerging connectivity technologies and effective ways to integrate vehicles with the home to provide a seamless connection across all areas of people's lives.
"Intel has been conducting research related to the connected car for years, and with the support of Toyota will extend that research to advanced services that will benefit the driver and passengers in many ways. Through this joint effort, we hope to improve the driving experience by enabling a seamless connection between mobile devices and the vehicle so when brought together they naturally adapt and work in harmony," said Staci Palmer, general manager of Intel's automotive solutions division.
According to Mobile Future, the connected car is the third-fastest growing technological device, following smartphones and tablets. As technology converges with the car, silicon solutions serving the infotainment and telematics market are expected to rise from $5.6 billion in 2010 to $8.7 billion in 2018.
"Toyota aims to lead the future mobile world through integration of vehicle, home and information communication technologies as announced in the 'Toyota Global Vision' earlier this year. Toyota, along with Intel, will use information technologies to drive innovations into the vehicle to make the vision a reality," said Kenichi Murata, project general manager at electronics development division of Toyota Motor.

After the Enterprise rescues a freighter crew and the ship's important cargo, Captain Picard faces a difficult dilemma: uphold the Prime Directive, or save an entire civilization from exploitation?
The USS Enterprise-D is investigating unusual solar flares and magnetic activity in the Delos system when they receive a distress signal from the Ornaran freighter Sanction orbiting the fourth moon of the system. The bridge crew is perplexed by the apparent incompetence of the freighter's crew.
When they try to rescue the freighter and beam the occupants over, the cargo of the freighter is beamed over instead. Yar and Riker are able to beam four onto the Enterprise in the nick of time.
When the crewmembers, two Ornarans and two Brekkians, arrive, they are very anxious to see the cargo. Even though two of those aboard the freighter have been lost, the primary concern of all four is the cargo. The Ornarans claim that they have paid for the cargo, therefore it belongs to them. The Brekkians argue that since the payment was lost on the destroyed freighter, the cargo still belongs to them. They begin to fight, using their natural electric charges, until Yar breaks it up.
Later, the Ornarans reveal that the cargo is felicium, medicine that their planet needs. Captain Picard realizes that the "plague" they have may infect the entire ship. He puts the ship on medical alert.
As the Ornarans suffer from their lack of medicine, the Brekkians continue to refuse them the cargo. Crusher reveals that she cannot find a cause of the signs of infection. The Ornarans entreat Picard to give them the felicium, and Picard offers to talk to the Brekkians, asking them to give enough for the Ornarans' needs. The Brekkians agree to "two doses for immediate use."
It is revealed that Brekkian society is entirely dependent on the trade of felicium with the Ornarans. When they use the free medicine, the Ornarans act as if they are experiencing a drug high. Crusher deduces that the "medicine" is really an addictive drug. Data and Riker research the history of the drug. Though it had cured a plague on Ornara two hundred years before, it is now just being sold as an addictive narcotic.
When Wesley Crusher wonders about how people become addicted to drugs, Yar explains the draw of drugs for people in desperate circumstances. She alludes to her possible use of drugs on her home planet. She says that, though drugs may seem to solve problems, they do not in reality make anything better.
The Enterprise receives a signal from Ornara. Margan demands that the Ornarans on the Enterprise must get the felicium to Ornara. One Ornaran then attacks Riker and demands that the Enterprise send the felicium to the planet.
The Brekkians then decide to "give" the drug to the Onarans, rather than risk the Onarans losing their addiction. Picard realizes that they have been purposely exploiting the Ornarans. Picard cannot tell the Ornarans without violating the Prime Directive. To correct the situation, Picard refuses to repair the Ornarans' freighters. Without a method of transport, the Ornarans will begin to withdraw from the drug.
Memorable QuotesEdit
"Are we losing our professional detachment, Doctor?"
- - Captain Picard to Doctor Crusher
"... Beverly, the Prime Directive is not just a set of rules; it is a philosophy... and a very correct one. History has proved again and again that whenever mankind interferes with a less developed civilization, no matter how well intentioned that interference may be, the results are invariably disastrous."
"It's hard to be philosophical when faced with suffering."
"Believe me Beverly, there was only one decision."
"I just hope it was the right one."
"And we may never know."
- - Captain Picard and Doctor Crusher
"Freighter, we're going to lock on the tractor beam and pull you out of orbit."
"Hey, that... that's great."
- - Picard and T'Jon, as the Sanction begins to burn up in the atmosphere
"Captain, my console seems to be overloading."
- - Wesley Crusher
"Drugs... make you feel good."
- - Tasha Yar, to Wesley Crusher
"Behave yourselves, gentlemen."
- - Tasha Yar, to T'Jon and Sobi after they attack each other
"I guess I don't understand."
"Wesley, I hope you never do."
- - Tasha Yar and Wesley Crusher, discussing drug dependency
"Destination, sir?"
"I don't care. Let's just get some distance between us and this system."
"Course 970, Mark 318, Speed: Warp Three."
"Where will that take us, Mr. La Forge?"
"The Opperline system."
"An interesting choice. Why?"
"Curiosity. We've never been there."
- - La Forge, Picard, and Riker
"Wesley, on my home world, there was so much poverty and violence that for some people, the only escape was through drugs."
"How can a chemical substance provide an escape?"
"It doesn't. But it makes you think it does."
- - Tasha Yar and Wesley Crusher, discussing drug addiction
"Captain, we are beaming over a replacement coil."
"Great... and that'll fix us up?"
"Yes, once it's installed."
"Right." (pause) "And how do we do that?"
- - Picard and T'Jon
"What is the matter with these people?"
- - Picard
"Captain, how long have you been in command of this freighter?"
"Seven years, with 26 trips to Brekka."
"And you don't know how to align a controller coil?"
"It's never come up."
- - Picard, to T'Jon
Background information Edit
Cast and characters Edit
- This marks Denise Crosby's last appearance as a full cast member. Although Natasha Yar appears (and dies) in the following episode, "Skin of Evil", this episode was filmed following that. (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion, p. 56) In the scene with Crusher and Picard leaving the cargo bay at the end of the episode, Denise Crosby can be seen waving goodbye in the extreme background. (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion, p. 56)
- Merritt Butrick and Judson Scott, who had appeared in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (as David Marcus and Joachim respectively), are in this episode as well. However, this is Butrick's final Star Trek role before his death from AIDS in 1989. Judson Scott later appeared in VOY: "Message in a Bottle" as the Romulan Commander Rekar.
Special and visual effects Edit
- The visual effect of the fluctuating force field around the Enterprise-D while near the star Delos was created by using a bowling ball which was trickled with salt. The salt bumping off the bowling ball was used and squeezed during the digital compostion and turned upside down to give this effect. ("The Making of a Legend", TNG Season 1 DVD special feature)
Continuity Edit
- This is the first time that we see a system interlock used with an alien transporter system showing that it is possible to interlock two different types of transporter beams. The only previous time that we see a Federation transporter working in conjunction with an alien beam is when the Enterprise intercepted an alien transporter beam and redirected it to their transporter pad in "Assignment: Earth".
- This is one of only five TNG episodes (and the only season one episode) that doesn't have a stardate. The others are TNG: "First Contact", "Tapestry", "Liaisons", "Sub Rosa".
Reception Edit
- Behind-the-scenes footage and bloopers from this episode appeared on a 1988 episode of the LeVar Burton-hosted show Reading Rainbow.
- A mission report for this episode by Patrick Daniel O'Neill was published in The Official Star Trek: The Next Generation Magazine Vol. 6, pp. 58-60.
- Director Win Phelps remembers, "There were many continuity problems. Down on the set, we began to notice discrepancies. Some sequences just didn't really work. The actors would say "My motivation is totally wrong here", because a previous scene would be contradictory. They were trying to act scenes that they had never read before, or where substantially different from what they had read. That didn't happyn every scene, but it did happen." About Denise Crosby's final scene he recalls, "As Patrick and Gates leave the hold where the drugs were kept, we had Denise wave goodbye to the camera. She was about 40 yards in the background, where nobody would notice. It was Denise's last scene on her last day." (The Official Star Trek: The Next Generation Magazine Vol. 19, pp. 28-29)
Video and DVD releases Edit
- Original UK VHS release (two-episode tapes, CIC Video): Volume 11, catalogue number VHR 2440, 8 April 1991.
- UK re-release (three-episode tapes, Paramount Home Entertainment): Volume 1.7, catalogue number VHR 4648, 7 September 1998.

No. 3 Cortland Dumps Ithaca
from press release
ITHACA, N.Y. – Cortland scored nine straight goals after trailing 1-0 following the first quarter and the nationally third-ranked Red Dragons defeated 18th-ranked Ithaca, 9-3, under the lights at Ithaca's Higgins Stadium. Both teams entered the game unbeaten. Cortland is now 6-0 on the season, with the last five wins coming versus ranked opponents. Ithaca is 5-1.
Seven Red Dragons scored at least one goal in a balanced attack. Freshman Matt Rakoczy (Clifton Park/Albany Academy) and junior Taylor Mendoza (Greensboro, NC/Western Guilford) each found the net twice and senior Mike Tota (Webster/Webster Schroeder) recorded a goal and an assist.
Junior goalie Mike Kaminski (Sayville) made 10 saves and allowed only one goal in 53 minutes of action. Sophomore Scott Tota (Webster/Webster Schroeder) finished with one save over the final seven minutes.
Pat Slawta, Tom Mongelli and Connor Lowe each scored a goal for Ithaca and Brendan Green stopped 16 shots.
Mongelli's goal with 1:02 left in the first quarter gave Ithaca a 1-0 lead. The Bombers held Cortland off the scoreboard for the first 21:55 until Mike Tota's goal, assisted by Cody Consul (Webster/Webster Schroeder), knotted the game with 8:05 left in the first half. Tota set up Eric Richards (Skaneateles) for a goal with 3:19 left in the period and senior Jack Kennedy (Camillus/West Genesee) scored with 34 seconds remaining to give the Red Dragons a 3-1 halftime lead.
Cortland exploded for five third-period goals, four in the first six minutes, to extend the lead to 8-1 after three periods. Rakoczy and Mendoza each scored both of their goals in the third quarter. The Red Dragons led 9-1 after a Mike Cantelli (Holmdel, NJ) goal 1:14 into the fourth quarter. Cortland held Ithaca scoreless for a stretch of nearly 40 minutes before Lowe scored with 6:19 remaining. Slawta added a man-up goal with 4:44 left.
Cortland will travel to fourth-ranked RIT on Wednesday, March 28, at 4 p.m.

Assuming you're not calling me a member of the Italian heavy metal band; a lord; or a West Indian fish of the family Trichiuridae; I can only surmise that you mean a clergyman. Like you I am a pastor, yes.Originally Posted By: PastorVonDon't the Dutch have a dish that is essentially saurkraut served on top of mashed potatoes?
I wouldn't know. I'm not Dutch. I just like rollmop salad. That's about the only highlight of Dutch cuisine as far as I'm concerned! Apart perhaps from a few confectionaries.
A few years ago when I was semi-employed for a while I did some part time mindless work in a food importing warehouse. Amongst other things they imported containers full of plastic packs of saurkraut from Holland and Germany. Sometimes the packs had burst in transit and gone (even more) rotten. We had to wash it off the packs that hadn't burst. That stuff is bad enough before it goes off, but that experience put me off it for life!
Domine' is a title used by many of Dutch extraction in speaking to or about their pastors. I used it in order to be sufficiently obscure to other participants of this thread. Since you answered in the affirmative, let me ask you if you have heard of my good friend, the Reverend Dr. Francis Nigel Lee, who is a resident of the island north of you.
Your anecdote concerning saurkraut brings to mind a not dissimilar experience of mine. About fifty years ago when I was a freshman or a sophomore at Southern Illinois University, I had a part-time job as a stocking clerk at a Kroger's grocery store. The produce department had received a shipment of Irish potatoes in 100 pound bags completely filling a 50 foot truck trailer. The trailer, which had a roof that was not water-tight, had been hauled all the way across the northern plains of the USA during a very rainy week. When the truck arrived, and the stock crew began unloading the potatoes, it was soon discovered that many of the bags contained a slurry of very rotten potatoes. It became our task to open each bag, to salvage the potatoes that were not rotted, and re-bag them for sale. I think the odor was still coming out of our pores a week later. There were no other residual effects, however. I still eat potatoes as I did just a few hours ago at my youngest daughter's table.

My error. The transliteration was just mis-spelled. Might be called a scribal error of the ear.
My grandmother died 32 years ago and I've had no regular German communication since then.
Vaughn Hathaway
I ran into a native German speaking friend today and asked her about the "Wie geht es einen" and she said that "Wie geht es ein(e/er)" is common in northern Germany, the former for a woman and the latter for a man.
Well, since my German-speaking grandmother's mother (yes, my great grandmother) was originally from Hamburg as was the already immigrated family that adopted her after her arrival in the USA, perhaps, my misspelling was not that after all. It was only my phonetic spelling as my ear remembered hearing it when I was a boy.

And who among us has not suffered from that affliction? Looks like we both learned something.

- Abstract
- The way in which sex may be constructed as safe through its relationship with 'love' is the concern of this study. Interviews with 112 heterosexual women and men from discos and bars in Melbourne, Australia, catering to single adults revealed the pervasive construction of sex within the discourses of 'love' and 'romance'. The relationship of these discourses to unsafe practices is discussed and the article presents an analysis of the normative function of the sex-as-love/sex-as-desire opposition in terms of safe sex and HIV/AIDS prevention. We conclude that health messages which emphasize that 'sex is unsafe' may be counterproductive. We illustrate how women and some men construct casual sex as a strategy for obtaining the possibility of 'love'. For these women and men, 'safe sex' as 'unprotected sex' is viewed as a strategy for maximizing the possibility that the casual encounter will result in a longer term relationship. On the other hand, 'unsafe sex' as 'unprotected sex' is viewed as a strategy that is more likely to interrupt the construction of romance in the casual encounter thus risking the possibility of love as the desired outcome. Interviews with heterosexual men and women recruited at discos and bars in Melbourne, Australia, in 1993 revealed a tendency--especially among women--to construct sex as "safe" within the discourses of "love" and "romance." The 112 respondents (mean age, 27.4 years) were asked to narrate their experiences of sex, love, romance, and safety, with particular emphasis on casual sexual encounters. Casual sex was viewed as an essential strategy in the search for love, and sexual safety practices were related more to their anticipated impact on finding love than on an assessment of the potential of sexually transmitted disease transmission. This view is consistent with cultural notions of femininity in sex as the relinquishment of control for the sake of love. Both men and women commented on the difficulties of raising the issue of condom use and HIV/AIDS prevention with someone they had just met. This difficulty was even more pronounced among women, who tended to believe insistence on condom use would result in the loss of a sexual encounter with romantic potential. Many men reported they use this perception of potential rejection to convince women to engage in unprotected sex. These findings suggest that current HIV/AIDS prevention messages may be disregarded by individuals--especially unmarried women--who view condom use as an obstacle in their quest for love. Needed are messages that incorporate condom use into the search for love.
