Internet fest #SPF420 to feature Vektroid (Macintosh Plus), DJ PayPal, Contact Lens, Magic Fades, and more; starts tomorrow!

Internet fest #SPF420 to feature Vektroid (Macintosh Plus), DJ PayPal, Contact Lens, Magic Fades, and more; starts tomorrow!

Since SXSW was last week, I don’t have to make a choice between that shitstorm “fest” and #SPF420 FEST 3.0, but fuck it, I choose #SPF420 anyway. Thanks to #SPF420, an internet-based gathering that streams live through video/chat service Tinychat, I’ve had the pleasure of wearing pajamas to two fests — 1.0 back in September 2012, 2.0 in early January — while watching the likes of Vektroid (Prism Corp, Macintosh Plus, etc.), coolmemoryz, LAKE RADIO, Metallic Ghosts, Infinity Frequencies, No Taste, and more.

While the first couple fests were sorta heavy on “vaporwave” (or vaporwave-related) artists, the third installment sees fest organizers Stress (♥) and Chaz Allen (Metallic Ghosts) digging deep into the virtual dance underground. Vektroid, who performed at the first fest and DJ’d as Prism Corp for the second, is playing again (yay!), but the fest is also bringing in the ghettodisco of DJ PayPal, the cracked beats of Contact Lens, the futurist cyberpop of Magic Fades, the dreamtrap of Blackedout, and the smooth futurism of Kodak Cameo. (Look, new genres!) It’s a big departure at first glance, but when compared to the lineup of any other fest out there, the continuities between these artists — lust for the groove, masterful repetition, hyperreal imagery, sensual exaggerations, fluid aesthetics — become particularly pronounced.

#SPF420 FEST 3.0 starts at 10 PM EST on Wednesday, March 20 in this Tinychat room. Chaz will serve as the house DJ (as Sugar C), Transmuteo (who performed at 2.0 and writes here as Jonathan Dean) will do a slow rave DJ set for the afterparty, and Stress will be hosting it all. So get up and go to the show stay right there and wait patiently for showtime.

You can view the fest’s trailer and sample all the artists below:

Jandek box set of three early albums emerges from the abyss for Record Store Day

If you’ve been looking for an introduction to the work of world-famous recluse Jandek, now might be your time.

Portland, Oregon’s Jackpot Records (in association with Corwood Industries) is prepping a deluxe box set featuring three of Jandek’s earliest records; 1978’s Ready for the House, 1981’s Six and Six, and 1982’s Chair Beside a Window. The box set, simply titled Jandek, will be limited to 500 copies worldwide and is an exclusive Record Store Day 2013 release. The package includes the three albums on heavyweight vinyl (presumably 180 gram), a hand-numbered hardbound slipcase, three 24”x24” posters, and a full Corwood Industries catalog insert.

With fans ranging from Thurston Moore to John Darnielle to Mandy Moore, Jandek managed not only to remain pretty much faceless for most of his career, but incredibly prolific. With over 70 albums spanning the course of 35 years, this box set is, as far as I can tell, the first not to be released outside of the Corwood Industries label.

Side note: if you want more info on the mystery that is Jandek (unfortunately, the internet killed the fun of “solving” a mystery) as well as other outsider music, I’d recommend Songs in the Key of Z by Irwin Chusid (check your public library or your local book retailer for more info).

Quicksails preps dynamic Mayville Dream for an Aprilville release on Spectrum Spools

When it comes to operating his Spectrum Spools imprint, John Elliott (formerly of Emeralds) has previously expressed his desire to keep an open mind concerning the music that he promotes. PLVS VLTRA’s album Parthenon would possibly be the most ready example of this, with its firm residence inside synth-pop territory, but what about that pesky reversion to the mean theory? I’m not sure about its applicability to record labels, but I’ll be damned if a track off the new Quicksails album doesn’t sound slightly Emeralds-esque. I’m probably imagining things. Granola bars can be intoxicatingly delicious, and I just ate two of them.

In any case, Chicago-based artist Quicksails a.k.a. Ben Billington will be releasing Mayville Dream on Spectrum Spools on April 29. I referenced Emeralds, but Billington seems to bring a degree of style variability that I certainly never noticed on an Emeralds album, or across Emeralds albums. As the official album description points out, “[Billington] can morph his styles seamlessly and is fluent in many musical languages, whether he’s playing in Moonrises, Circuit [des] Yeux (as a touring drummer) or in the legendary underground free-jazz unit Tiger Hatchery.”

For a preview of that seamlessness, listen below:

Neurowear debuts brain-wave reading headphones at SXSW… one step closer to total automation

In today’s “you know you’re getting old when…” story, Hypebot reports that a pair of headphones debuted at SXSW last week that selects music for you based on the brain waves you’re emitting. The same company that brought us those terrible cat ears that adjust position based on your brain waves, Neurowear, has advanced the technology in a seemingly more useful direction with its prototype Mico headphones. The headphones are not currently available for the public or for journalists to test, so it’s unclear how the headphones decide which tracks go with which brain waves, but this development seems right on trend given the growing prevalence of apps and widgets that ‘listen’ to you and report back accordingly. This type of technology, which is basically adding the smart-capabilities of the internet to everyday things, is estimated to be valued at $14.4 trillion according to Cisco, so look forward to a future where everything electronic in your life is lovingly reading your mind in the name of personalization. Magneto-style helmets will probably follow suit.

What I’m worried about is the possibility of these things recommending music that ‘matches’ my brain waves but that doesn’t sync up with what I actually want to listen to. It’ll be interesting to see how in line a device’s ability to select something for us is with our conscious desires. I doubt my mind is ever actively asking for something like Merzbow, but I still like that it’s an option. Will we lose the ability to ‘challenge’ ourselves with music (or anything taste-related for that matter) if the devices we interact with are only serving up what we want on some indirect, unconscious level? This is definitely a cool technology, but the possibility of becoming mindless by allowing our brain to connect directly to the world seems a bit too imminent. But ya, cool!

Coma ready In Technicolor, their first full-length on Kompakt, and a pending remedy to people who are actually comatose

It’s interesting to ponder the effects that geographical location ultimately has on a person’s musical state of being. Speaking personally, I grew up in the Washington, D.C. area, which means that a faint yet permanent go-go rhythm now soundtracks everything that I do. It’s most obvious when I’m practicing my strut in an open field somewhere, and most annoying when I’m fornicating. Have you tried thrusting to a go-go beat? It’s not sexy at all.

On the cooler side of things, Cologne-based electronic duo Coma (Georg Conrad & Marius Bubat) had the luxury of going through their formative years just as the now well-established label Kompakt was gaining a reputation. Rather than sit back and bask in the comfort of the label’s distinct, generally minimal techno sound, the two embraced their creative, newly sequencer-based aspirations and took to the stage.

Word then spread, contracts were signed, and EPs were released. On April 15, Coma will release their debut full length In Technicolor, to much enthusiasm from their label overseers. As a press release notes, “The duo have a fresh, new energy that captures the essence of the label’s signature sound but makes you feel like your hearing it for the first time all over again.” I find myself in full agreement with this statement after revisiting their contributions to the most recent Total editions, and after listening to the single “Hoooooray,” listenable for you, below.

In Technicolor tracklist:

01. Hoooooray
02. Maybach
03. Cycle
04. Les Dilettantes
05. Missing Piece
06. #
07. Out Of Control
08. My Orbit
09. The Great Escape
10. maximal MINIMAL
11. Scales
12. T.E.D.

Dude, have you heard the WORD?! It’s like Beatle-mania all over again or some shit!

View Full Version : Longest cold streak ?

08-12-2005, 02:09 AM
I am in hell lately lol the cards just arent flowing the rightdirection for the last month. I mean nothing but crap starting hands and when i do get soemething decent everyone folds it off even after a minimum bet. how long was your longest cold streak and what did you do to break it?

08-12-2005, 02:35 AM
Every poker player goes through streaks of cold cards. I can relate completely since I just came off my worst month financially playing poker in July. I of course don't win every time out but last month was the first time I had a negative total since I started playing. It seemed like I was constantly making second best hands or getting drawn out on. There is nothing more frustrating then getting junk hands for an hour and then when you finally pick up a big pair, someone playing junk draws out on you and wins.

I still don't know that the cards have gone my way too much this month. I've been lucky and able to get away with a few bluffs in the sessions that I've played this month to have a small amount in the plus column. I think QQ may be the best hand I've gotten this month and I had to fold that on the flop in a multiway pot when both an ace and king hit. Of course, I haven't played a lot of Holdem so far this month either. I've been playing tounraments and O8B in ring games mostly. After a dissapointing July, I also haven't been playing as much as usual. One of the leaks in my game is playing when I don't have enough time and so I'm rushed and not completely focused on the table.

I don't know if there is any sure fire way to break a cold streak. You just have to ride it out and lose the minimum while the cards are bad. I've heard of pros who had losing years so you can run bad for a while. My advice would be to keep playing tight and maybe even tighten up more. If you find yourself getting frustrated, just do something else, maybe another type of poker or something else entirely. I find taking a break helps. There is a lot of ups and downs in poker, even playing for small stakes like most of the people on this forum do. I think the biggest thing is just limiting your losses and not going out and burning up your bankroll getting on tilt after several sessions full of bad cards. I'm sure I lost more than I had to last month and when I went back and looked at some of the key hands, I can see now how I might have played them differently.

08-13-2005, 01:49 AM
I've hit a cold streak (a pretty costly one) in the last few weeks. I have a tough time maintaining a good attitude when I'm seeing so many bad beats, and when my attitude is bad, my play is bad. So I've taken the last week off, to step back and cool off. In the mean time I'm reading some poker books I've been meaning to get to. Hopefully when I go back to the tables, the cold streak will have worn off. If not, then maybe the book knowledge will help me stay consistent with my play anyway. :)

08-16-2005, 03:36 AM
Thanks for the replys guys i took the weekend off and am about to start the grind again just going to play supertight for a bit i guess would be nice to be the other guy once in awhile that actually gets the draws lol

08-18-2005, 12:47 PM
I've also hit a coldstreak as well. I've tried to play lesser buy-in tourneys and such, and also tighten up my play a little bit. The strange part is I actually think I've been making better decisions and playing better, yet the results aren't showing. I've made some pretty big laydowns when I've actually got some cards and most of the time they have been correct. And then yesterday I played and didn't get AA or KK once. I got Queens a few times during the day though, yet twice I ended up against pocket Kings and another against suited AK that flopped a full house (in various sit-n-gos mainly). I can tell you its hard to lay down a premium hand when its the first good one you have seen in what seems like days, but I have done so on occassion. Keep cool and try to limit your losses, and keep making correct decisions. Thats what I tell myself, but its often hard to do.

I'm currently on another bad streak and they come and go. The one main factor is life is about confidence. When you see baseball players in a month hit for 20 of 22 games and hit .430 with 9 homers then they are hot, but the confidence helps them out to as you are on top of the world. If they have hit in 9 of 22 games and are hitting .178 with 0 HR's, then they are slumping and are not confident. The thing is when you are hot, things will go your way and you will feel them coming. When you are cold then your game is off and it just seems that something is going to happen.

In poker it is all the same. I try and stay confident but its hard. I posted a bad beat in a tournament where i played for 3 hours of great poker and in the hand before the final 6 i was raining chip leader since the last break started and started the final 6 in 2nd place. I hit KK and got hit hard on it against K7. I kept my confidence but unfortuantly lost A8 to 78 and this seems to happen.

Lately when im in dominating position im hardly winning at all. When im in dominated position once again (like i should) im hardly winning at all and when i am in a race situation i am winning very low.

My streaks generally don't last too long. My longest loosing streak which i managed to get my money back in only 5 days lasted 2 weeks long.

Excellent advice Return2005. I definitely think there is something to the whoe self fulfilling prophesy thing. If you always think you are going to get drawn out on when you are all in with the best hand then chances are you will. If you expect to lose you are a lot more likely than if you expect to win no matter how the cards are going at the moment.

A good example is watching a guy like Carlos Mortenson play on FSN in the poker superstars tournament. This guy caught some cards and was able to win his second tournament after finishing last in his first match. After that, he played confident no matter if he was leading or losing and never had the look on his face like he was going to lose. He ended up winning his next four and almost won the last 5 out of 6 matches after finishing dead last in the opener.

When you have the best hand, be confident that it will hold up, when you are drawing, visualize one of the cards you need comming off the deck. It doesn't work every time of course but I think keeping a good attitude is a key to winning. If you find that because of some bad beats you aren't able to stay positive then its usually best to get up and leave the table right then and there no matter how much you have lost so far. If you are in a tournament and take a beat, don't be in a rush to throw away the last of your chips. The chip and the chair story is very true and even if you don't battle back to win it all, you can some times build your stack back enough to make in to the money and then have a chance to contend for the final table money.

06-20-2007, 04:35 AM
I have a tough time maintaining a good attitude when I'm seeing so many bad beats, and when my attitude is bad, my play is bad.When i am in dominated position once again (like i should) i am hardly winning at all and when i am in a race situation i am winning very low.
and my streaks generally don't last too long.

Nigerian enterprises to deploy UCC solutions [Bizcommunity (South Africa)]
[March 20, 2014]

Nigerian enterprises to deploy UCC solutions [Bizcommunity (South Africa)]

(Bizcommunity (South Africa) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Recent research from global IT market intelligence firm International Data Corporation (IDC) states that more than 45% of enterprises in Nigeria are planning to deploy unified communications and collaboration (UCC) solutions in the next three years.

Referencing its 'Unified Communications Trends and Priorities in Nigeria 2013 Survey Results' report, IDC today said it expected the adoption of convergence technologies to increase over the coming years as enterprises transform their business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) models in order to exploit the opportunities offered by these solutions.

Based on its survey results, IDC expects the uptake of UCC solutions in Nigeria to blossom over time as the substantial cost savings, simplified management, reduced latency, improved customer experience, and increased workforce productivity brought about by UCC will undoubtedly prove attractive to organisations of all sizes. In line with this development, the local organisational practice of buying individual services such as telephony, instant messaging, audio/video conferencing, and email from different vendors is expected to decline over the course of 2014.Uptake of advanced UCC applications "Email applications stand out as the most used element of UCC among Nigerian enterprises," says Oluwole Babatope, a research analyst for telecommunications and media at IDC West Africa. "However, the more advanced elements of UCC, such as conferencing applications, enterprise social software, and video conferencing/telepresence equipment, have yet to gain traction in local enterprises due to the inadequate telecommunications infrastructure currently seen in Nigeria. Consequently, we expect the uptake of advanced UCC applications to occur over the longer term as the infrastructure required to support advanced services steadily improves in the country." "The future technological priorities of Nigerian enterprises are clear," continues Babatope. "They will increasingly focus on upgrading their existing infrastructures, expanding their network capacities, improving their data backup and recovery capabilities, strengthening their WAN/network security protocols, and enhancing the performance of applications on WAN topologies. Each of these priorities will contribute to increased adoption of UCC in the country." Leading vendors Overall, IDC expects the implementation of UCC solutions in Nigeria to remain on a positive growth trajectory as such applications are slowly but surely being incorporated into the business processes of Nigerian organisations.

Meanwhile, on the vendor side, IDC's survey identified Cisco, Avaya, and Microsoft as the leading vendors of UCC solutions in Nigeria.

IDC's 'Unified Communications Trends and Priorities in Nigeria 2013 Survey Results' (IDC #CEMA20755) provides a succinct overview of the latest UCC trends and priorities in Nigeria. The study includes an overview of key industry developments in communications convergence, the major UCC players in Nigeria, and the key technology priorities for organisations. It also provides an insightful analysis of the UCC environment in most enterprises in Nigeria and assesses their options for the future. The insights are based on continuous research with technology leads in various SMBs and large organisations, as well as on interviews with industry experts and inputs from IDC analysts on the ground in Africa.

Soulja Boy

Youuuuuuuuuu Got Arrested

10/18/2011 5:57 AM PDT BY TMZ STAFF
Soulja Boy Mugshot
Soulja Boy was arrested early this morning for weed possession ... and law enforcement sources tell TMZ cops allegedly found a ton of weed and cash during the arrest.
The 21-year-old rapper -- real name DeAndre Cortez Way -- was popped early this morning by Temple Police Department officers in Temple, GA at 3:15 AM.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Soulja was riding in an Escalade with 4 other men, which was originally pulled over for a traffic violation.

We're told ... during the stop, cops found a "substantial amount" of marijuana and cash inside the vehicle." Soulja and the 4 other men were all arrested. Soulja is still being held in Carrol County Jail.

Law enforcement sources tell us officers also found guns inside the car -- though it's unclear if any of the men had the proper licenses to be in possession of the firearms.  We're told an investigation is underway.

One source with knowledge of the situation tells us there was roughly $70,000 in cash and drugs in the car.

9:05 AM: Law enforcement tells TMZ, all 5 men were arrested on charges of possession of marijuana, possession with intent to distribute, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.

We're told the Escalade Soulja was riding in was part of a car service -- and the driver was one of the five men arrested.

 Good sex makes better parents: 4 ways to get it - TODAY.com

Good sex makes better parents: 4 ways to get it

couple with baby in bed Getty Images stock
Two's company, three's a crowd? Having kids can kill your sex life, but it doesn't have to be that way. In fact, modeling a healthy relationship is part of your job as a parent.

Becoming a parent challenges a couple’s sex life. We are busier than we’ve ever been and the house fills up with diapers, toys, school books and soccer cleats faster than we could have imagined. Tired spouses are often not filled with lust. But something else happens when two become three that impacts our sex lives psychologically — our priorities change.

During dating and in early marriage, sexual desire, new adventures and time alone together are high priorities. Parenthood brings pressure to become more financially and emotionally secure. Couples enter this phase with the best of intentions to get on with the serious business of family. Sometimes they even think that they can defer their needs for excitement until the children are grown. This is a big mistake.

The true gift we give our children is a model of how two people live in an intimate relationship. While children don't know what goes on in the master bedroom (and if they do, time to invest in a better lock), they instinctively know whether their parents share chemistry. In relationships with abundant love, the parents are filled up and the surplus spills over to nurture the little ones. Sex is the glue that binds couples together.

As a sex therapist, I’ve heard many complaints from young parents who struggle to maintain heat in the bedroom. Here are some solutions.

“I’m exhausted and don’t have anything left at the end of the day for sex.” Sex does take energy. If it isn’t erotic enough, both parties can wind up asking, “What’s the point?” While scheduling sex may feel like it will squash the spontaneity that makes it great, make a plan in your own head once a week. A better sex time is before TV or computer time, instead of the last minute before sleep.

“My partner doesn’t share the load with me, and I’m too angry to have sex.”  Child care, full-time work, and household management are three separate jobs. If not shared equitably, resentment becomes a monster under the bed sabotaging sex. Write down all the chore and child-care responsibilities and negotiate for fairness. Hire out every possible piece of non-essential work that you can afford.

“Sex is boring now.” I’ve talked to parents who spend more time planning their child’s birthday party than their sex lives. Make a date and tell each other over dinner how you like to build up to sex and what your favorite things are to do in bed. This takes courage and vulnerability – two qualities that truly keep sex spicy.

“We barely have time to talk and I can’t have sex unless I feel connected.” Some people need time together to talk in order to feel sexual. Others need sex before they are ready to talk. Unfortunately, this often becomes a power struggle, where one partner chases and the other backs up harder. Unhook the problems. Set time aside to talk and to have sex. Every once in a while, offer to do it in the order your partner likes it, with no strings attached.

Laurie Watson is a certified sex therapist and author of Wanting Sex Again – How to Rediscover Desire and Heal a Sexless Marriage. She blogs for Psychology Today at Married and Still Doing It. You can follow her on Facebook and Twitter.

Unusually massive line of storms aim at Midwest

CHICAGO  — The National Weather Service is upgrading the risk of storms to its highest alert level for parts of Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio.

The agency’s Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla., says there’s a high risk that damaging winds will strike in extreme eastern Iowa into northern portions of Illinois and Indiana and northwest portions of Ohio.

Storm Prediction Center Director Russell Schneider says it’s the first time this year that the center has used its highest alert level. Today's storms are likely to generate tornadoes and cause power outages.

The storms could affect more than one in five Americans today as they rumble from Iowa to Maryland packing hail, lightning and tree-toppling winds.

Schneider says the storm could hit Chicago around rush hour.

Day of triple dozens occasion to remember

Weddings, lottery picks on agenda

Jamie Poignon at her home.  Jamie turns 12 on 12/12/12.
Jamie Poignon at her home. Jamie turns 12 on 12/12/12.

For some, today’s date is only a nifty numerical event, a repeating lineup of 1s and 2s crowding a calendar square.

For others, it’s a wedding day, a chance to pick lucky lottery numbers, or a reason to run 12 kilometers.

For Jamie Poignon, Dec. 12, 2012, is pretty much the coolest day ever to turn 12. Jamie, a Bedford Junior High School sixth grader from Temperance, will celebrate the day she’s long awaited with a family gathering today and a party with friends this weekend.

“My family members always said stuff about it. I don’t think it really sank in until a couple of years ago,” she said.

Jamie’s mother gave birth at Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center on Dec. 12, 2000, several days after her Dec. 7 due date. Wendy Poignon said her daughter’s birthday celebration will include cake and decorations in keeping with the once-in-a-lifetime, triple-dozen date. “We’ve been planning this for years. We’ve been excited,” she said. “She thinks it’s her lucky day. I’m sure we’re going to buy some lottery tickets and some scratch-offs, and we’ll see if anything comes of it.”

The Poignons aren’t the only ones with that idea. The Ohio Lottery reported the numbers 1, 2, 1, 2 sold out for Tuesday and today's midday and evening drawings. The lottery has a liability limit — the highest amount it will pay out on a winning combination of numbers. Players no longer can pick those numbers once the liability is reached. Lottery spokesman Danielle Frizzi-Babb said it’s common for numbers to sell out whenever there’s a “significant” or repeating date.

The numbers motivated runners, too. More than 300 people registered for a just-for-kicks 12/12/12K run, scheduled to start at 12:12 a.m. today. By the time most of the Toledo area wakes up this morning, hundreds of runners should have made the multiple-loop run on roads around Levis Commons in Perrysburg.

Race director Ed O’Reilly of the Toledo Roadrunners Club also organized a 10K run on Oct. 10, 2010, and an 11K on Nov. 11, 2011. He called it “the end of the world series,” a wink and nod to Apocalypse predictions some base on the Mayan calendar. Second Sole running store helped with the race registration, and the Perrysburg store also was to serve at the race’s start and finish place, general manager Matt Folk said.

“I don’t know that there will be a lot of hard-core, competitive runners,” he said, adding the emphasis remained on the “unique, fun, social” aspect of night running on a special date.

To commemorate the event, race participants could buy a glow-in-the-dark shirt. Louann Cummings, a University of Findlay professor, hoped to wear that shirt today during a noon final she’s scheduled to give to an accounting class. She runs regularly with an early rising group that meets at 5:15 a.m.

“This is just a little bit earlier,” she said, noting she won’t have a chance to run on a repeating date again.

At the Lucas County Courthouse, officials prepared for an uptick in marriages on the special date. The Rev. Sandra Frost performs courthouse ceremonies and will be on hand today to marry couples. She said the date’s rarity and the ease of remembering the anniversary are two reasons some choose repeating dates to wed.

Probate Court Administrator Charles Shaffer anticipated today’s marriage activity to be more than a normal Wednesday’s but less than Valentine’s Day.

“It will be busy; they aren’t going to be lined up,” he said. “There are people that ... get married on these certain dates, and this is the last one [in our lifetime] you are going to see.”

Julianne Hough's Dance School Refutes Any Allegations of Abuse

0103_hough_portraitIn a new interview with Cosmopolitan magazine, Julianne Hough alleges she was abused while training as a young dancer overseas.

"While I was in London, I was abused, mentally, physically, everything," Julianne revealed. When asked to elaborate, she said, "I'm a very forgiving person, and I don't want to hurt anybody. What's past is past."

The Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts -- the school that Julianne trained at and that was mentioned in Cosmo -- says no abuse took place there.

In an statement to toofab, Principal Anne Sheward says, "Julianne was an exceptionally popular and talented pupil at the Academy and we totally refute any allegations that she was subject to abuse during her time with us."

Sheward adds:

"It is no secret that during her studies [Julianne] also spent a considerable amount of  time at extra-curricular training and successfully competing the ballroom and Latin dance world -- which we had nothing to do with. We feel this article has been extremely badly worded and if re-read, you will see that although it mentions our name, it does not say that any abuse took place here. I feel sure Julianne would herself be horrified to learn that she had caused her old school any embarrassment or harmed its good name. As she herself said in an article in The Stage Newspaper of 19th June 2008: 'I absolutely loved Italia Conti and can't say a bad word about the place'. 'It was a safe place.'"

toofab reached out to Julianne to clarify her comments, but has yet to receive a response from her.

Star Trek: The Next Generation Rewatch

Star Trek: The Next Generation Rewatch: “Sub Rosa”

“Sub Rosa”
Written by Jeri Taylor and Brannon Braga
Directed by Jonthan Frakes
Season 7, Episode 14
Production episode 40276-266
Original air date: January 31, 1994
Stardate: unknown

Captain’s Log: We open on the funeral of Crusher’s grandmother Felisa Howard. Crusher is delivering a eulogy; Troi and Picard are alongside her. They’re all in dress uniforms, while everyone around them is in some manner of formal Scottish wear (sporrans and kilts and such). One person puts a camellia, her favorite flower, on the grave as he walks off, giving Crusher a significant look.

Picard talks with Governor Maturin, who gave the benediction at the funeral, asking if the Enterprise will stay a few days longer to look over their equipment. Caldos is an old colony, one of the earliest terraforming projects, designed to look like the Scottish highlands (each building’s cornerstone comes from Scotland) even though the inhabitants are not all Scottish—indeed, Maturin isn’t even human.

Crusher, accompanied by Troi, goes to Felisa’s house to go through stuff. After a bit, Troi leaves her alone to go through heirlooms and books—including Felisa’s journal. Wrapping herself in a blanket, Crusher goes upstairs—but comes back down when someone enters unannounced and tries to steal Felisa’s candleholder. The man is Ned Quint, he claims to have been the caretaker for Felisa’s house, though Crusher has no idea who he is, nor why he insists on using such an awful comedy Scottish accent. He insists on getting rid of the candle holder—which Crusher was going to take with her to the Enterprise—because it’s brought nothing but trouble.

Data and La Forge go over the colony’s systems, and La Forge finds a fluctuation in the weather control systems. There’s a storm building, which shouldn’t be happening at this time of year.

Crusher talks to Picard about what she read in Felisa’s journal. Apparently the century-old woman had a lover in his 30s named Ronin. He’s all over the journal, but she never mentioned him in her letters to Crusher—who suspects that the lover is the guy who threw the flower on Felisa’s grave.

That night, Crusher falls asleep having read the journals, and while she dozes, the candle lights on its own. Her nightgown comes off her shoulder, someone whispers her name—and then she wakes up. As she tells Troi later in Ten-Forward, she dreamt that there was a presence in her cabin, and felt a caress on her shoulder. It was a physical, erotic dream, which Troi figures was due to her reading Felisa’s very explicit descriptions of her young lover. Crusher wonders if she’ll have more dreams tonight, and Troi recommends reading two chapters of the diary before bed, just to be sure.

Star Trek: The Next Generation Rewatch on Sub Rosa

Later, Crusher beams down to put flowers on Felisa’s grave. The storm everyone was worried about is brewing. Quint is at the grave, and Crusher apologizes for their fight—the journal explained how important he was to Felisa. She also asks if he’ll stay on as caretaker, but he refuses. He’ll never set foot in that house again (except, apparently, to commit larceny) as he claims it’s haunted. He urges Crusher not to light the candle and not to set foot in the house, or they’ll be burying another Howard. He also blames the alleged ghost for the storm.

Just as Quint leaves, the storm gets nasty, despite the efforts of the Enterprise to fix the weather control. While La Forge activates a power transfer from the ship to weather control to boost their ability to get the storm under control, a soaking-wet Crusher goes back to her grandmother’s house to find the place covered in camellias.

A mirror rattles, Crusher straightens it, then sees a reflection of the man from the graveyard—but when she turns around (after dropping the mirror), there’s nobody there. But there is a voice, claiming to have visited her in the night, though Crusher insists it was a dream.

Star Trek: The Next Generation Rewatch on Sub Rosa

Then Crusher has what can only be described as an orgasm. The voice identifies himself as Ronin, Felisa’s young lover, and explains that he’s been around as a ghost since the 1600s in Scotland, apparently spending all that time having ectoplasmic sex with Crusher’s female ancestors. Ronin moved to Caldos with the family. Crusher has a few more orgasms as they talk.

The next morning, Troi goes to Crusher’s quarters to see if she’s going to mok’bara class, and Troi instantly recognizes Crusher’s “she just got laid” glow. Crusher admits that she met Ronin, though she leaves out the part about him being incorporeal.

Unfortunately, the power transfer beam is having the opposite effect. Instead of the Enterprise helping Caldos’s weather get under control, the ship’s environmental controls are wonky. A fog rolls onto the bridge, Ten-Forward’s temperature drops below freezing, and deck 13 loses gravity. Data can’t terminate the transfer beam thanks to a feedback loop. He and La Forge beam down to try to fix it at the weather station, where they find Quint performing sabotage. He tries to shut down the power grid for the station by ripping things out, and gets a plasma shock for his trouble. Quint is killed, but Crusher’s examination reveals that the plasma shock wasn’t what killed him.

Crusher sends the body back to the Enterprise, instructing the nurse to have Dr. Selar perform further examinations, so she can run back to the house and have more sex with Ronin—and also talk about Quint. Unwilling to discuss that, Ronin takes physical form—which he can’t do for very long and which is a great effort—in order to distract her and get her to light the candle, so he can stay with her. He disappears, promising to be with her always, and never actually answering any questions about Quint.

Beaming back to the ship, Crusher locks her cabin door and lights the candle, then starts acting like a junkie waiting for a fix, wondering where the heck he is. Then Ronin materializes and they have more sex, involving him turning into green smoke and enveloping her. It’s sufficiently awesome that Crusher resigns her commission and beams down to Caldos, ostensibly to take over Felisa’s job as healer, but truly to take over Felisa’s hobby of constant sex with Ronin.

Star Trek: The Next Generation Rewatch on Sub Rosa

Picard is livid, but can’t really do anything about it, though he does want to at least meet this Ronin that has convinced his CMO to bugger off. (In more ways than one.) Meanwhile, Data and La Forge have tracked the anaphasic energy that’s causing all the problems (it’s both in the power transfer beam and on Quint’s body) to the graveyard.

Crusher and Ronin have some more green-smoke sex, and then Picard knocks on the door, wanting to meet Ronin. Crusher—whose eyes have turned the same deep green as her grandmother’s—tries to get rid of him, but then Ronin walks down the stairs.

As they talk, and Ronin avoids answering any of the simple questions Picard asks him, like how long has he been on the colony, Data contacts Picard and identifies the source of the energy as Felisa Howard’s grave. Ronin is adamant that Picard not exhume her body, but the captain tells Data to get permission from the governor. Ronin insists he’ll petition the governor to refuse, but Picard doesn’t think that Maturin will even know who he is—and Ronin proves it by dematerializing. Picard then tries to get Crusher to leave, and is hit with a shock of green electricity. Crusher moves to treat him, but Ronin’s voice urges her to stop them from exhuming the body. Ultimately, Crusher’s oath as a doctor outweighs her desire for hot sex, and she stays to treat Picard while Ronin goes to stop Data and La Forge.

Transporters make the exhumation process remarkably orderly. Data and La Forge open the grave to find the anaphasic energy in Felisa’s corpse. Said corpse then sits up and shocks La Forge and Data with the same green energy—just as Crusher, who has saved Picard, runs into the graveyard and tells Ronin to stop. Ronin then leaves Felisa’s body and rematerializes. However, Ronin’s pleas for them to be together don’t take into account just how much of a turn-off animating the corpse of your lover’s grandmother is. Crusher uses La Forge’s phaser to destroy first the candle, and then Ronin himself, thus saving her from a horrible life of constant orgasms.

Can’t We Just Reverse the Polarity?: Anaphasic energy is unstable, but organic matter helps stabilize it. One of Crusher’s ancestors had a body chemistry that was compatible with the anaphasic energy creature that took on the name Ronin, and he used that woman and her descendents to stay stable in exchange for incredible sex.

Star Trek: The Next Generation Rewatch on Sub Rosa

Thank You, Counselor Obvious: Troi gives what probably would be good advice to Crusher about the dangers of two grieving people getting involved if Ronin were an actual lover as opposed to a horny immortal energy creature. Troi also tells Crusher that she can’t hide anything from the counselor, even though Crusher successfully hides the fact that Ronin is incorporeal from her.

No Sex, Please, We’re Starfleet: Ronin keeps going on about how he loves Crusher, but she never says she loves him back—she’s obviously just in it for the orgasms.

Star Trek: The Next Generation Rewatch on Sub Rosa

I Believe I Said That: “There appears to be a condensed suspension of water vapor approximately one degree Celsius.”

“It just sort of rolled in on us, sir.”

Data providing details, Picard summing it up, and Riker unable to resist the obvious rejoinder.

Star Trek: The Next Generation Rewatch on Sub Rosa

Welcome Aboard: Longtime Canadian genre heartthrob Duncan Regehr—the villain in Wizards and Warriors, and who has played Count Dracula, Errol Flynn, and Zorro—plays Ronin. He’ll come back for a recurring role on Deep Space Nine as Kira’s former resistance cell leader and eventual First Minister of Bajor, Shakaar Edon. Michael Keenan plays Maturin; he’ll be back twice on DS9 as Patrick, one of the “Jack Pack” of genetically enhanced weirdos, and in Voyager’s “Heroes and Villains” as Hrothgar. A couple of veteran character actors round out the cast, with Shay Duffin as Quint and Ellen Albertini Dow as Felisa.

Star Trek: The Next Generation Rewatch on Sub Rosa

Trivial Matters: As with last week, we get to meet a family member mentioned in the first season and not seen until now, in this case the grandmother Crusher mentioned to Picard in “The Arsenal of Freedom.” Crusher alludes to the influence Felisa had on her decision to become a doctor in her eulogy, which included the experiences on the Arvada II colony mentioned in that episode, which were dramatized in Michael Jan Friedman’s novel Death in Winter.

Writers Taylor and Braga considered the episode an homage to The Innocents, a film that was an adaptation of Henry James’s The Turn of the Screw. To that end, the characters of Ned Quint and Jessel Howard were call-backs to the characters of Peter Quint and Miss Jessel in that film.

Felisa Howard was named after Braga’s grandmother, who had died shortly before the episode was written.

Make it So: “Dinna light that candle and dinna go into that hoose.” First of all, I gotta tell you that I was truly stunned to realize that this was an episode that was a) written entirely by staff writers (though it was loosely based on a teleplay sent in by a freelancer), and b) was directed by one of TNG’s two best directors in Frakes. I just assumed it was an all-freelancer one, with one of the B-list directors.

And yeah, it’s pretty horrible, but I found myself not hating it as much as I thought I would. I think the main reason for that is Gates McFadden, who spends the entire episode completely taking the entire notion of hot green smoke sex seriously. McFadden’s performance is subtle and nuanced, far more so than the script really deserves, and she totally sells it.

Of course, all McFadden’s efforts do is make the episode somewhat watchable, especially since none of the other actors seem interested in investing the same effort. Shay Duffin manages the impressive feat of supplanting James Doohan at the top of the Worst Scottish Accent In Star Trek list, Michael Keenen sleepwalks through his part, conveying none of the passion for the Highlands that the script insists he has, and the less said about Duncan Regehr’s don’t-hate-me-because-I’m-beautiful turn as Ronin, the better.

Star Trek: The Next Generation Rewatch on Sub Rosa

Star Trek: The Next Generation Rewatch on Sub Rosa

The script also has an annoying refusal to come out and say what it’s actually about, especially since Ronin starts in with “I love you” pretty much from jump. (Honestly, that makes Ronin come across a lot more like Dug from Up: “I just met you, but I love you!”) But love has nothing to do with this story, it’s entirely about sex, and the script’s refusal to come out and say that is maddening, especially with Gates McFadden doing her best impersonation of Meg Ryan in Katz’s Deli.

Ultimately, this episode is probably as good as the one in which Crusher has green-smoke sex with a ghost possibly could have been.

Conspiracy theories abound as Bowyer’s spin puts teammate into Chase

Dean McNulty_op
By , Toronto Sun

First posted: | Updated:

William Shakespeare said it best a couple of centuries ago when he penned: “Oh what a tangled web we weave when we first practice to deceive.”

It is something that the folks at Michael Waltrip Racing might consider in the growing scandal that centres on allegations that Clint Bowyer deliberately spun his No. 15 MWR Toyota with eight laps left in Saturday night’s Federated Auto Parts 400 at Richmond International Raceway in order to get teammate Martin Truex Jr. into the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship ahead of Ryan Newman in the No. 39 Stewart Haas Racing Chevrolet.

Newman was in the race lead at the time and if the race had have gone green to the end he would have been in and Truex out, but he lost the lead while pitting under caution and finished third.

The pair ended up tied in points but Truex, who finished seventh in the race, got the final wild card because both drivers had one win in the regular season while Truex had more second-place finishes to break the tie.

In any event, in the two laps leading up to Bowyer’s spin, there was definitely some suspicious radio communication between him and his MWR crew chief Brian Pattie.

“The 39 is going to win the race,” Pattie is heard telling Bowyer.

Less than a minute later Pattie is heard asking Bowyer if his “arm is starting to hurt.”

“I bet it’s hot in there. Itch it.”

Bowyer spun seconds later.

Although he vehemently denied it was on purpose — Bowyer said Dale Earnhardt Jr. got beside him an contributed to the spin — Earnhardt had a completely different eye witness version.

“He just spun right out,” Earnhardt said. “That’s the craziest thing I ever saw ... He was hemming around on the brakes and jerking the car around, and then the thing just spun out. It was crazy. I don’t know what was going on.”

Bowyer dismissed the whole conspiracy theory thing.

“I know it’s a lot of fun for you guys to write a lot of wacky things,” he said afterwards. “Go ahead if you want to. Get creative. But don’t look too much into it.”

In the most damning piece of evidence, reporter Alan Cavanna tweeted that Waltrip walked up to Truex on pit road and told the driver: “You’ve got awesome teammates.”

Add MWR driver of the No. 55 Toyota, Brian Vickers, to the conspiracy. His speed on the final lap was listed as 79.564 m.p.h., at least 40 m.p.h. slower than his previous lap.

That allowed Joey Logano to pass him, putting the No. 22 Ford in the top 10 in front of Newman and Jeff Gordon and assisting in getting Truex the Chase bid.

All this came, by the way, after drivers were sternly warned in the pre-race meeting that any such chicanery would not be tolerated.

Yet afterwards, NASCAR rules boss John Darby said repeatedly he saw nothing with what Bowyer did that would result in any sort of penalty.

Certainly nothing would be done — even all the allegations are proven true — that would get Newman his spot in the Chase back.

But NASCAR officials announced yesterday afternoon that it was looking into the charges that MWR conspired to get Truex in the the 10-race Chase.

“NASCAR is reviewing Saturday night’s race at Richmond International Raceway per protocol and has no plans for further statement until that process is complete,” Kerry Tharp, NASCAR’s senior director of competition communications, said in a statement.

One also has to wonder, if Bowyer had not brought out the caution, would Gordon have made the Chase? The No. 24 team lost out by a single point to Logano. Before Bowyer’s spin, Gordon was a point in front of the No. 22 Ford ... While Fernando Alonso is still very much in the battle for the Formula 1 world championship, his loss to three time champion Sebastian Vettel at Monza in the Italian Grand Prix, probably signals it will be a tough fight to keep the young German from winning his fourth consecutive title ... Could it be that IndyCar star Tony Kanaan’s much ballyhooed visit to NASCAR’s Joe Gibbs Racing shop just a negotiating ploy to get another open wheel drive after being told he is likely out at KV Racing? And what about those persistent rumours that KVR has serious money problems and might have to fold its IndyCar program?

Carl Edwards won the Federated Auto parts 400 at Richmond International Raceway in the No. 99 Ford but it was the losers everyone was talking about afterwards.

NASCAR Sprint Cup reigning champion Brad Keselowski finished 17th in the race resulting in the No. 2 Ford team being out of the Chase for the 2103 championship.

Also out as a result of Saturday night’s race: Jeff Gordon, Ryan Newman, Jamie McMurray and Paul Menard.

In are: Matt Kenseth, Jimmie Johnson, Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick, Edwards, Joey Logano, Greg Biffle, Kasey Kahne, Martin Truex Jr., Clint Bowyer, Dale Earnhardt Jr., and Kurt Busch.

The 10-race post season starts next week at Chicagoland Speedway.

In Saturday’s race Kurt Busch was second, Newman third, McMurray fourth and Menard rounding out the top five.

Sebastian Vettel took a huge step towards a fourth consecutive Formula 1 world championship on Sunday with a start to finish victory in his Red Bull Renault in the Italian Grand Prix at Monza.

Fernando Alonso was second for Ferrari with Vettel’s Red Bull teammate Mark Webber third.

Felipe Massa finished fourth in a Ferrari with Nico Hulkenberg rounding out the top five for Sauber/Ferrari.

It was Vettel’s sixth win of the season and the 32nd of his career.

Vettel now leads Alonso by 53 points and Lewis Hamilton by 81 with seven races left on the 2013 F-1 calendar.

Hamilton said afterwards that his hopes to challenge Vettel are done.

Broncos star pleased with Knights experience

Posted 24 October 2012 - 11:33 AM

London Broncos half-back Dan Sarginson is relishing the prospect of getting his hands on the Alitalia European Cup when the England Knights take on Scotland in Edinburgh's Meggetland Stadium on Sunday (2.00pm).

Sarginson was part of the Knights team that defeated Ireland 56-4 last week and the young stand-off is hoping for a repeat performance this weekend as the Knights aim to secure the title.

"The team performed really well against Ireland and we've bonded well in camp over the past few weeks so it's been a good experience," said Sarginson.

"When you play a team who are ranked a bit lower than you it can be very easy to go away from your system and try and throw the ball around too much but we stuck to our plan well and weathered their storm and it paid off in the end.

"Great credit goes to the forwards who laid a great platform for us to play off and when you have guys like the Burgess brothers and Scott Taylor in form it was like watching bowling balls going down an alley at times with people bouncing off them.

"Scotland will probably be another big game for our forwards but hopefully we can build on that performance against Ireland and win the title.

"It would be great to get my hands on the Cup - I've never won any silverware before so it would be great to be able to change that.

England Knights continue their Alitalia European Cup campaign against Scotland at Meggetland Stadium, Edinburgh, on Sunday October 28 (2.00pm).

Leeds Rhinos boss knows lineup for cup final

Leeds Rhinos boss knows lineup for cup final

Leeds Rhinos head coach Brian McDermott admits he knows his starting line-up for next Saturday’s Challenge Cup Final – but admits there are still spots available on the bench.

The Rhinos bid to end their 15-year hoodoo with the Challenge Cup next weekend when they lock horns with Castleford Tigers at Wembley, and McDermott told the media on Thursday that he’s close to finalising his team for the game – with over a week left before the showpiece event.

“I’m reasonably close,” McDermott said. “I don’t think I’d be surprising anybody if I was to name my starting 13 now. I think everyone can work that one out.

“But we’re not pulling the drawbridge up on the bench. There’s a couple of bench spots up for grabs this weekend.”

McDermott also said he had no issues about Kevin Sinfield’s match fitness – with the Rhinos captain playing potentially just his second game in five weeks against Cas next Saturday – if he is left out against already-relegated London this weekend.

“I reckon Kev would be all right for the final even if he didn’t play against London,” he said. “In terms of fitness and match fitness, he’s got enough miles on the clock.

“He’s played hundreds and hundreds of games and he’s like a few in the group that keep themselves in good nick. He enjoys training. Fitness is not part of the job for them, it’s a lifestyle.”

Taihu Lake

Lake Taihu (Lake Tai or Taihu Lake) is the third largest freshwater lake with an area of 2,250 km2. It is a shallow subtropical lake with an average depth of 2 meters. Many islands, about 90, some as tiny as a few feet long, some as large as several miles, are scattered across the lake. A number of rivers originate from the lake such as the Suzhou Creek.

The lake is linked to the Grand Canal in the northwest and its lake shore is characterized by shallow, sandy beaches and rocky shores. The limestone rocks forming the lake’s basin are the special materials for construction of Chinese traditional classic gardens. Lake Taihu separates Wuxi City into two halves flanking its north and most of western and eastern part, and its neighboring city Suzhou and Zhejiang Province border the remaining southeast and southwest, respectively. Parts of the surrounding region make up one of China’s largest grain-producing bases.

The lake includes 48 inlets with diverse sizes, 72 peaks and peninsulas along the lakeshore. The best location to view its loveliness is on the Turtle Head Islet located in Wuxi, which extends into the lake. With dotted parks and gardens, the lake is one of the best tourist attractions. Its splendid natural beauty made it well known in various legends and myths in China’s history.

Pollution of the lake water is now a big problem and an algae boom has been blamed as the major cause. In May 2007, the lake was overtaken by algae, the Blue Algae, which gave the water a blue color and a foul smell. An increasing use of fertilizers in adjacent farmlands has been blamed for the problem because it creates excessive nutrients inducing algae growth. Many shipping and residential wastes are dumped directly into the lake contributing to the algae bloom. The government has identified the current situation of the lake as a natural disaster and is investing a huge sum of money to control sewages dumping and installing anti-pollution equipment at shipping and fuel stations.

Tourist Attracion

One of the best locations to view the lake is Xihui Park in the west of Wuxi. By climbing the summit of Dragon Light Pagoda (Longguang Pagoda) inside the park, you will get a bird view of the city and the lake.

Yuantouzhu (Turtle Head Island) is another prominent region for tourists. It received this title because its outline resembles a turtle head. The region gained its fame in the early 20th century and it contains more than ten scenic sites for visit.

The Taihu Lake Film and TV Studio Town were founded in 1987 by the China Central Television station and is a must-see location. The studio has erected several towns for filming, including Tang Dynasty Town, European Style Town, Three Kingdom Period Town and Asian Town.

The lake has, since the ancient Chinese dynasties, been one of the most fabulous lakes to tour and to cruise. Many scenic spots in and around the lake were established as early as hundreds of years ago, and many celebrities including emperors, ministers, scholars, painters, poets and generals have left numerous historic relics.
