However, this glory is sort-lived. Suddenly a freak accident propels Jurassic Park under investigation by the investors of Hammonds’ creation.

Dr. Ian Malcolm
Dr. Ian Malcolm played by Jeff Goldblum (Independence Day, The Fly) A mathematician whose studies revolve around the chaos theory. Invited by John Hammond, Malcolm decided to observe Jurassic Park before the general public was allowed to visit.

Dr. Ellie Sattler
Dr. Ellie Sattler played by Laura Dern (Mask, October Sky) is a Paleo-botanist (study of fossilized plants) and girlfriend to Dr. Alan Grant. As they both accept the invitation to Hammond’s preserve, she is one of the first to realize that there were dangerous plants around the park itself-“you pick them because they look nice” It was certainly preface to what was ahead. During the park tour, they stumble upon a sick Triceratops. Dr. Sattler decides to split up with the rest of the group in order to stay back with Dr. Harding and care for the Trike. Her separation from the rest was ideal because she became the “go-to” woman and single handedly went to the power shed and turned on the park’s fences manually while escaping from a hungry Velociraptor.Â
Welcome to version 11 everyone!
Welcome to the prototype of version 11.x. You have probably found your way to database.jpdatabase.net because I (Jon) or one of the other administrators of JPdb linked you to it. Please take a moment to comment on the design and some of the content that can be viewed already through the site. Please take note that this site is not complete. There still might be problems in the way some browsers display the page. So far I’ve been able to get the page to view perfectly on Internet Explorer 6.0, but there is a problem when viewing this page on Internet Explorer 7.0 Beta 2. I’ve also gotten this page to view almost right on Firefox 1.5.
As for the content it’s coming. I am having problems with my current ISP (OOL) when it comes to uploading. They turned off my FTP and SSH ports for uploading too much in a single day (a big 300 mb to this site) and cut off my access to my SMTP server for JPdb (along with anyone else who uses an external mail service to conduct business without notice). They wont let me get my access back through their service unless I upgrade to a better package (an extra $45 a month), so forget that. I’ll find a way around it. Don’t worry. Just remember to comment about the new prototype!
