16th Annual Festival of New Musicals
October 3 - 4
Dodger Stages 340 W 50th Street, New York, NY
The 16th Annual Festival of New Musicals was held in New York City at the new Dodger Stages, 340 W. 50th Street on Sunday, Oct. 3 and Monday, Oct. 4, 2004 for an invited audience of NAMT members and theatre producers.
Camille Claudel
Gabriel Barre
John Paul Almon, Leslie Becker, Timothy Bish, Matt Bogart, Nick Cavarra, Linda Eder, Margaret Ann Gates, Lynette Marrero, Mayumi Miguel, Michael Nouri, Darren Ritchie, Tina Stafford and Shonn Wiley
Genre & Style:
19th century French sculptor Camille Claudel was haunted by two men—her lover Auguste Rodin, arguably the most important sculptor of our time, and her brother, the poet Paul Claudel. Both men were driven to possess Camille, but she lived only to work, one woman battling to compete against a phalanx of male artists. Camille's stormy affair with Rodin was surrounded by scandal and bitterly resented by her brother Paul. Camille persevered, happily breaking all the rules along the way. Presented last summer by Goodspeed Musicals, Camille Claudel has a score by Frank Wildhorn (Jekyll and Hyde, The Scarlet Pimpernel, The Civil War—Tony nomination), book and lyrics by Nan Knighton (The Scarlet Pimpernel—Tony nomination, Saturday Night Fever), direction by Gabriel Barre (The Wild Party, MTC) and stars Broadway and recording sensation Linda Eder (Theatre World Award winner—Jekyll and Hyde ).
The Drowsy Chaperone
Bob Martin
Music Director
Greg Morrison
Beth Beyer, Danny Burstein, Lea DeLaria, Robert DuSold, Christine Ebersole, Georgia Engel, Patrick Garner, Paul Kandel, Richard Kind, Bob Martin, Reno Roop, Christopher Sieber, Christianna Tisdale and Robert Tunstall
Genre & Style:
Created by award-winning Second City authors, this soph- twist -icated musical was the sleeper hit of the Toronto Fringe Theatre Festival. "Outrageous humor! Openly affectionate and uproariously funny!" — Variety . A pampered Broadway starlet chooses marriage over show business. Her producer, desperate to save his career and re-pay gangster investors, sets out to sabotage the nuptials. Ruses are played, hi-jinks occur, and just before the plot spins completely out of control… everyone zeppelins down to Rio for a happy ending. This classic (albeit fictional) 1920's musical is narrated with sinister enthusiasm by a tweedy musical theatre fanatic who stops throughout to praise or mock certain scenes and to provide lurid details about the performers' sad real lives. A full production at Toronto's Winter Garden Theatre was lauded by critics as "the best thing to happen to musical theatre in recent memory."
The Flight Of The Lawnchair Man
Lynne Taylor-Corbett
Music Director
Larry Yurman

Genre & Style:
Jerry Gorman is a guy from Passaic, New Jersey, who has always dreamed of flying, despite being dyslexic and terminally average. His girlfriend, Gracie, encourages him to discover his "Jerriosity" and reach for the sky! However, Jerry's attempts to fly are thwarted by the FAA, the CIA, and Wal-Mart – not to mention Jerry's mom. Finally, Jerry and Gracie stumble on the idea of tying 400 helium-filled balloons to a lawnchair. Jerry launches himself 16,000 feet into the stratosphere, where he meets Charles Lindbergh, Amelia Earhart, and Leonardo Da Vinci. Jerry finds himself faced with a difficult choice. Should he return to his earthbound life or join the Greats of Aviation in the sky? This delightful and uplifting fantasy, with book by Peter Ullian and music and lyrics by Robert Lindsey Nassif, is directed by Tony Award-nominee Lynne Taylor-Corbett.
The Girl In The Frame
Marc Bruni
Music Director
Vadim Feichtner
Melissa Dye, Stephanie Kurtzuba, Jonathan Rayson and Graham Rowat
Genre & Style:
When Alex's fantasy woman magically steps out of a photograph to seduce him, he figures that an affair with an imaginary mistress isn't exactly cheating. However, when his fiancée discovers his "infidelity," Alex is shocked to learn that she has a fantasy of her own. Soon, their tiny New York apartment is uncomfortably overcrowded and the couple must fight to reclaim their imperfect lives. This quick-witted, four-character comedy has book, music, and lyrics by NYU Musical Theatre Writing grad Jeremy Desmon (a recent Jonathan Larson Fellow at The Dramatists Guild).

A Good Man
John Ruocco
Music Director
William Foster McDaniel
Cheryl Alexander, Sondra Bonitto, John Martin Green, Derrick Middleton, Kevyn Morrow, Anika Noni Rose, Ed Setrakian, C.E Smith and David St. Louis
Genre & Style:
Based on an award-winning novel, this hauntingly beautiful family story is set in rural Mississippi just after World War II. A black sharecropper, a well-liked and respected farmer, decides to paint his dilapidated tenant house white. His simple wish sets off passions and suspicions which gather like a summer storm, shattering family and community, and ending in a wrenching act of violence. The show is intensely dramatic, surprisingly funny, and musically rich – influenced by the blues, gospel, jazz and rock – as well as Copland, Arlen and Bernstein.
Langston In Harlem
Kent Gash
Darius DeHaas, Jerry Dixon, Danielle Lee Greaves, Marva Hicks, Brandy Massey, John Eric Parker, Billy Porter and Soara-Joye Ross
A music theatre piece made up of blues, jazz, spoken word poetry, rhythm and dance that evoke the state of mind that is Langston Hughes' Harlem. This is not a typical book musical but rather a descendant of newer forms, a kind of musical montage in a dramatic format similar to Cats, Movin' Out, or Def Poetry Jam. Based on the writings of one of America's foremost poets and using his poetry as lyrics, Langston in Harlem is a stirring and vivid portrait of the artist at the height of the Harlem Renaissance, with a book by Kent Gash (Associate Artistic Director of Atlanta's Alliance Theatre Company) and music by Walter Marks (Emmy Award winner for the PBS series "Getting On" and songwriter of "I Gotta Be Me" and "The Singer".)
Striking 12
Ted Sperling
Genre & Style:
A funny, touching, uplifting hybrid piece of musical theatre in which the story is sung, played, acted, and dissected on stage by an unusual rock band, GrooveLily. The show runs on three levels: a musical retelling of Hans Christian Andersen's "The Little Match Girl"; the story of a grumpy 30-something whose anti-holiday outlook is changed by a door-to-door saleswoman of holiday lights that combat seasonal affective disorder; and the interaction of the three musicians who frequently interrupt the proceedings. The show was developed with director Ted Sperling and is performed by GrooveLily (a trio which includes Milburn on keyboards, Vigoda on electric violin and Gene Lewin on drums), Striking 12 has rocked the holiday house at Prince Music Theatre, The Old Globe Theatres and will play TheatreWorks in Palo Alto, California this holiday season.
Winesburg, Ohio
Eric Rosen
Music Director
Tom Murray
Ken Barnett, Lesley Bevan, David Bryson, Joe Dempsey, Jeff Dumas, Erica Elam, Mary Ernster, Ryan Gardner, Kristina Martin, Johanna McKenzie-Miller, Jeff Parker and Matthew Walker
Genre & Style:
Based on the classic American novel by Sherwood Anderson, this startling and unconventional musical journey explores what lies beneath the "normal" exterior of a small American town. Developed by Chicago's About Face Theatre and Steppenwolf Theatre Company, Winesburg, Ohio is both a portrait of an artist as a young man and a journey into the secret lives and twisted passions of his hometown's everyday citizens. Backed by a score steeped in American folk music, the stories intertwine and unfold in a spellbinding and moving paean to following your dreams. Created with director Jessica Thebus, book and lyrics by Eric Rosen (director of Adam Guettel's Myths and Hymns at Prince Music Theatre) and music and additional lyrics by Andre Pluess and Ben Sussman (sound designers for I Am My Own Wife and Metamorphoses – LA Ovation Award and Lucille Lortel nomination).

Former "American Idol" host Simon Cowell may be considered a boor by millions of viewers for his combative behavior, but the Queen of England has a more rarefied title in mind for the wise cracking show man.
The man behind the forthcoming "Idol" challenger "X Factor" is set to become a knight, reports the New York Post.
A formal announcement will be made on December 31 when the Queen's New Years Honors List is released.
When Cowell was mentioned as a potential candidate for knighthood in 2009, he felt his chances were "less than zero," but said that the honorific had a "nice ring to it."
According to reports that first surfaced in London's Daily Mail on December 19, the volatile talent judge received backing from both Labour and Conservative party politicians for his contributions to the advancement of music and the entertainment industry at the national and international level.
However, the Mail says that the knighthood award is more to recognize fundraising efforts Cowell made for victims of Haiti's devastating earthquake earlier this year. He is also the patron of the Children's Hospices UK.
The soon-to-be Sir Simon will launch "X Factor" in the U.S. in September 2011. The former Sony record executive was one of the original judges on the American version of "American Idol" and also created the "X Factor" and "Got Talent" franchises which air in 44 countries around the world.

July 6th 1918
My dear sister Madaline:
I surely did feel bad when I did not get the opportunity to write to you for a few days the reason was account of military movements. Uncle Sam's doing every thing possible to make it pleasant for us boys. Since I wrote you last I received ten letters about five from you and one from Anna. We also got paid which came in just about in time. I received 246 francs which is about $49 in our money. This included my pay for the month and liberty money. Is pa receiving the alottment regularly? Now about the fourth of July we had a wonderful time. The Corporals of our platoon had a luncheon for lunch we had a chicken and chicken soup, lettuce salid with eggs, dressing and ten bottles of campaign. All this cost us about seventeen francs a piece. A meal like this dear sister is very scarce as the people here are also feeding on rations. Bread is a scarcity but beer, wine and champagn is sold to the boys in large quantities. The chicken we had for lunch was to old for roast so the madam had to make soup out of it, just like the good old chicken soup we had for our sunday meals years ago. Our daily rations are getting better each day. My french is improving each day. So far I have learned to ask for bread, wine, beer, champaign, eggs, milk, tobacco, candy, chocolate, coffee and many other things in french tongue.
I guess I have said all I know today am going to write Anna tonight, I am.
Your loving Brother

If Ohio has been President Barack Obama's "firewall" – the state guarding against a disappointing Electoral College result on Nov. 6 – then the president's re-election team might consider Obama's well-publicized auto industry rescue as a type of firewall within a firewall.
Charles Dharapak / AP
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney stands on a table as he addresses an overflow crowd as he campaigns at PR Machine Works in Mansfield, Ohio, Monday, Sept. 10, 2012.
Obama has taken every effort to remind voters in Ohio of his authorization of a 2009 bailout of General Motors and Chrysler that is widely credited with preserving the companies as they stood on the brink of catastrophe. In the same breath, the president is sure to mention the op-ed – "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt" – penned by Romney for the New York Times, which called for a managed bankruptcy for the automakers supported partially by government guarantees.
There are real differences between how Obama sought the auto industry rescue and how Romney, judging by his own comments at the time, might have engineered support for GM and Chrysler. But if the Republican presidential nominee manages to win Midwestern states like Ohio and Wisconsin on Nov. 6, he could point to his recent messaging on the auto bailout as a reason why.
President Obama and Gov. Romney sparred on foreign policy with Romney attempting to poke holes in the president's record while Obama mocked Romney's attempts to agree with many of his policies. NBC's Chuck Todd reports.
Romney has essentially tried to take credit for Obama's actions, arguing that it was the president who ended up following Romney's counsel all along, and lead GM and Chrysler toward a "managed bankruptcy."
"He said that I said we should take Detroit bankrupt. And that's right. My plan was to have the company go through bankruptcy like 7-Eleven did and Macy's and Continental Airlines and come out stronger," Romney said at last week's second presidential debate in New York. "And I know he keeps saying, 'You want to take Detroit bankrupt.' Well, the president took Detroit bankrupt. You took General Motors bankrupt. You took Chrysler bankrupt. So when you say that I wanted to take the auto industry bankrupt, you actually did."
Romney's semantic argument, though, obscures a gulf between him and Obama over how such a managed bankruptcy would have been managed and its implications for the industry.
First Read wrote in February – as Romney sought to win Michigan's Republican primary – about the precise differences between Obama and Romney when it comes to the bailout.
The separation between Romney and Obama on the issue of the bailout stems from two issues. First, Romney argues that interests of the labor unions were unfairly favored over some of GM and Chrysler's private creditors. The government-supervised bankruptcy did this, he argues, by allowing the autoworkers' retirees program an equity stake in the restructured GM in exchange for providing financial support for the bankruptcy.
Second, Romney appears to differ with the president over the extent to which government itself should have stepped forward with money to help stave off liquidation of GM and Chrysler and provide for the restructuring process. The administration's approach did this in the case of GM by essentially establishing a new, restructured company in which the government became a majority shareholder. (Romney argued Tuesday for the government to divest itself from the company.)
Romney's position in the past has been that the private sector could have stepped forward to finance and more effectively manage the bankruptcy process -- especially in a way that would have treated private stakeholders in the companies more fairly.
One of the key points, though, involves the type of support Romney would have offered to the companies. His original op-ed called for the government to back warrantees and guarantee private sector financing for the companies when they emerged from bankruptcy. But the bipartisan Congressional Oversight Panel overseeing the various bailouts questioned whether any private financing would have been available in the first place, given the credit crunch in early 2009.
"Gov. Romney, you keep on trying to, you know, airbrush history here," Obama said on the topic of autos Monday evening at a third debate versus Romney. "You were very clear that you would not provide, government assistance to the U.S. auto companies, even if they went through bankruptcy. You said that they could get it in the private marketplace. That wasn't true."
Setting aside the candidates' very different approaches, what is clear is that, for months now, Romney has tried to play offense on the issue of autos. And his success in states like Ohio – where one in eight jobs is said to have ties to the auto industry – may depend on Romney's ability to convince Midwestern voters that GM and Chrysler would be doing just as well as they are now if he were president instead of Obama.
It appears voters are interested in learning more. As a New York Times spokesperson noted on Twitter, Romney's original Nov. 18, 2008 op-ed, skyrocketed Tuesday to the top of the list of the most-read stories on the Times website.

(written from a Production point of view)
Following an anomaly in a warp bubble experiment, Dr. Crusher finds that crewmembers are beginning to disappear, while she is the only one who seems to notice.
- "Chief medical officer's log, stardate 44161.2. We are docking at Starbase 133 for scheduled crew rotation. I look forward to welcoming aboard my mentor and dear friend, Doctor Dalen Quaice, who will be traveling with us to his home planet, Kenda II."
When Dr. Quaice, an elderly man, is beamed aboard by Chief O'Brien, he and Dr. Crusher begin talking about his life. Dr. Quaice's wife has died recently, so he is giving up his post in Starfleet and retiring. He tells Dr. Crusher that the worst part of growing old is that all of one's friends, all the people from one's life are gone, and that one never takes the time to appreciate them in their lifetime. Dr. Crusher agrees, telling him that even though she and her late husband, Jack Crusher, only had a few years together, she feels the same way. She continues contemplating what Dr. Quaice said.
Meanwhile, in engineering, an eager Ensign Wesley Crusher performs an experiment with the ship's warp engines, while Chief engineer Geordi La Forge impatiently demands that "his" engines be put back online. Dr. Crusher comes to Wesley, standing right before the warp core. Suddenly, due to Wesley's experiment failing, a short flash is emitted from the warp core. Wesley returns the engines to normal control, but when he looks up to talk to his mother, she is gone. Wesley thinks that she simply walked away.
The USS Enterprise-D leaves Starbase 133 as scheduled.
When Dr. Crusher walks to Dr. Quaice's quarters to visit him for breakfast, the room is empty and unused. When she asks the computer about Dr. Quaice's location, it claims that no Dr. Quaice is aboard the ship.
Act One
Dr. Crusher calls Worf, who agrees to order a search for Dr. Quaice immediately. However, both are puzzled; Worf because he was not informed of Dr. Quaice's planned arrival by Captain Picard, and Dr. Crusher because she thought that Worf was to be informed of the presence of all guests. Worf agrees to put together a search team for him, in case he has been injured, but points out that that would not explain his missing belongings.
In Captain Picard's ready room, a puzzled Dr. Crusher learns that there really is no Dr. Quaice aboard the ship. Furthermore, in the privacy of the ready room, Picard indicates that he was also not informed of Dr. Quaice's planned presence aboard ship. Dr. Crusher, astounded, protests that she had submitted her request weeks prior and received approval, while the two try to speculate how this could have happened. When Data checks Starfleet records, he reveals that no hint of the existence of a Dr. Dalen Quaice whatsoever. Even O'Brien can't remember beaming a Dr. Quaice aboard.
Act Two
Dr. Crusher decides to perform a thorough medical check on the Chief, and when she calls for Dr. Selar and Dr. Hill, she learns that the two of them and four other medical staff have vanished. When she tells Picard, he asks if they were associates of Dr. Quaice, apparently having no memory of them. Wesley Crusher, then in engineering, tells the Captain that his experiment with the warp drive may be connected with the disappearances. Even though it all doesn't fit together, the Captain insists that Wesley continue to examine his theory.
When Dr. Crusher returns to duty in sickbay, all of her personnel have vanished, and sickbay is completely abandoned. She returns to the bridge to tell Picard, Commander Riker and Data, but they are not surprised by the news at all. Dr. Crusher asks Data if it would make any sense that she is the sole medical officer on a ship with more than 1,000 people on board, but he tells her that the entire crew count is 230. Dr. Crusher talks to Picard in his ready room; he is willing to consider the possibility that almost 800 crew members have not only vanished but been forgotten. She agrees to talk to Counselor Troi to see if she is mentally unstable, but pleads with the Captain to return the ship to Starbase 133. He agrees to do so.
Dr. Crusher returns to sickbay and attempts to work, but is distracted by a series of violet flashes and a strange noise. Curious, she turns around and is buffeted by a powerful wind that pulls the flaps of her lab coat and blows her hair forward so that it covers her face. Then before her eyes, a vortex forms, which creates a powerful vacuum. The vacuum gains in strength and sucks in objects from all over the room, until even Crusher begins to be pulled forward against her will. She narrowly avoids being pulled in by holding onto the sickbay's large replicator. The vortex collapses, leaving her astonished and shaken.
Act Three
When the senior staff meet in the observation lounge to discuss what happened, she learns that the crew now numbers 114 people. Lieutenant Worf has now disappeared, and again, nobody but Dr. Crusher is aware that he ever existed.
Dr. Crusher rushes to engineering to see if her son, Wesley, has also disappeared, but he is there just as he should be. Wesley asks her if everything is all right, but she replies "no", for they may have very little time left. Wesley claims he's already spoken to Kosinski via subspace, and even he can't figure out what's happening. Wesley suggests the mysterious Traveler might be able to help them. As he and his mother move to exit engineering, she realizes that her son has also disappeared.
Rushing to the bridge, Dr. Crusher is horrified to find the room empty save for Captain Picard sitting in his chair. The red alert lights are blinking. Crusher pleads with Picard to try and remember the officers and crew. Picard remembers none of them and sees nothing remarkable about a Galaxy-class starship carrying only two people. Realizing that Picard might soon disappear, she asks the computer to read off his life signs continuously. She starts to speak to Picard, but the computer falls silent and she sees that the captain's chair is empty.
As she stands alone on the bridge, Dr. Crusher notices the sound of rushing air. The same vortex that appeared in sickbay reappears in the center of the viewscreen and starts to drag her in. She grabs the ops station chair and holds on as the vortex pulls her off the floor. When the vortex finally dissipates again, Crusher climbs into the chair to recover.
On the other side of the disturbance, La Forge and Wesley furiously input commands into an engineering console, but before too long, Wesley notices that the warp bubble on his monitor has vanished. Believing his mother to be dead, Wesley says resignedly that "it's over." But, before he can give up hope, an unseen voice speaks: "It's not over, Wesley." As he looks over, Wesley is surprised and pleased to see The Traveler once again aboard the Enterprise.
Act Four
Meanwhile, Captain Picard reports to the captain's log that two attempts to retrieve Dr. Crusher have failed. It is revealed that she is actually the one who has disappeared, into a parallel universe. The Traveler informs Wesley that he is the only one in the crew that can help him return his mother back to her proper reality.
Back aboard the warp bubble Enterprise, Dr. Crusher attempts to examine the situation like a medical diagnosis, proceeding from the symptoms to the cause. The computer exposes the absurdity of her situation, and she considers that the Traveler's people might have answers. When she tells the computer to head for his home world of Tau Alpha C, it objects that no such planet exists. She turns on the viewscreen and sees no stars, but only a blank energy field. The computer readily confirms that the entire universe is only 705 meters in diameter.
In the normal universe, the Enterprise has returned to Starbase 133 and Wesley, with The Traveler's assistance, has succeeded in recreating the warp bubble, by "seeing beyond the numbers." However, the Traveler is disconcerted, because the warp bubble has begun to collapse. They must rescue Dr. Crusher at the right moment, or she will die.
Act Five
The Traveler and Wesley begin to work on creating a gateway between the real world and the warp bubble, with both 'phasing' in and out of real space and time; they have less than four minutes before the bubble collapses.
Dr. Crusher finally realizes that she is the one who is trapped inside the warp bubble upon seeing a computer-generated visual image of the universe that looks identical to a diagram of Wesley's experiment. As the bubble begins to collapse, destroying sections of the ship, Crusher continues to query the computer about warp bubbles, until she discovers that the vortex that she has encountered twice may be her means of escape. She decides that the vortex will probably be in engineering, since that is where Wesley would be working trying to create it. She races through the halls of the ship, outrunning the collapsing warp bubble and finally arriving in engineering to the sight of the vortex. She jumps through and lands back in the real world engineering just as the warp bubble collapses. Wesley is exhausted from "seeing beyond the numbers" and collapses on the table, while Jean-Luc Picard goes to help Crusher to her feet. Crusher sees the Traveler and asks him if he was the one who brought her back. She and Wesley hug, and just to make sure everything is okay, she asks the captain how many people are aboard the Enterprise. The answer of 1,014, including Dr. Quaice, relieves her.

Background information
Production history
- First draft script: 30 July 1990
- Final draft script: 9 August 1990 [1]
- Premiere airdate: 22 October 1990
- First UK airdate: 4 May 1994
Story and production
- This story originated as a subplot for "Family", in which crew members were to have disappeared due to a wormhole. However, it was felt that there was not enough room for both plots, so the premise was developed as a separate episode. (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion)
- The Traveler was added at the last minute. According to Michael Piller, "The first two drafts did not have the Traveler in it. The first draft ended with the realization of what had happened turning out to be a dream episode. We didn't find that satisfying, so we decided at the end of act three to pull everything from the first 60 pages into the first three acts and tell the audience what's going on on the other side of the warp bubble and how they're trying to get Beverly back. We spend the next two acts deciding how to get her back. At the beginning of the year we said we wanted to bring the Traveler back for something, so why not use him in this episode to help Beverly back." (Captains' Logs: The Unauthorized Complete Trek Voyages)
- Director Cliff Bole commented, "They added him because he's big at the conventions. He was just a walk-on." (Captains' Logs: The Unauthorized Complete Trek Voyages)
- Gates McFadden did all her stunts for the vortex effects sequences. Shortly after performing the stunt where she is thrown from Data's ops console chair, McFadden learned she was pregnant. (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion)
- Footage of Starbase 74 from "11001001" was re-used in this episode to represent Starbase 133.
- This is the first episode with black outlines added to the transporter pad.
- When Doctor Crusher is walking next to Doctor Quaice it can be seen very clearly, that the sciences uniform exists in various shades of blue, as Dr. Quaice's uniform is a little "greener" than Dr. Crusher's. Of course this could merely be due to differences in laundering. Also, in "The Best of Both Worlds, Part II", Crusher's uniform had been noticeably lighter than the uniforms worn by other science officers. Finally, the new color grading on the Blu-Ray release balances out the two and makes the uniforms nearly the same shade of blue.
- In the deleted scene 15A, Dr. Crusher talks to Dr. Richard Hill's wife Cara who doesn't remember her husband. She was portrayed by actress Marilyn Rockafellow. [2]
- Composer Jay Chattaway recalls, "This was a different kind of show. I did use some different techniques in that show, since it was one of those "What's wrong" mysteries. For the vortex sequences, I wrote a limited amount of material for the string section, so that they were playing at different tempos. The result was this swirling sound that integrated well with the sound effects." (The Official Star Trek: The Next Generation Magazine issue 18, pp. 34-35)
- The Traveler's make-up was modified slightly for his second appearance. Here, and in "Journey's End" his make-up appears much paler than in his first appearance in "Where No One Has Gone Before".
- This episode marks the first appearance of the redesigned transporter pad. The new design would remain for the rest of the series, appearing as well in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, where it served as the USS Enterprise-A's transporter and in I AM ERROR as the USS Voyager's.
- The VOY episode "Projections" features a similar plot device, in which The Doctor finds himself alone on board and must try to determine what is going on.
- When Dr. Crusher is pulled into the static warp bubble, she is not wearing her coat. While in the bubble, she puts on the coat. However, when she returns from the bubble, she is still wearing the coat from the bubble. Thus, it can be assumed the bubble contained a physical reality and not simply a manifestation of Crusher's thoughts.
- Rick Berman remarked, "That was a very interesting high concept episode. I thought it was possibly a little bit overly confusing. You're fooling the audience a little and I don't like to do that. They were looking at one world when, in fact, we were dealing with parallel universes and that was potentially confusing." (Captains' Logs: The Unauthorized Complete Trek Voyages)
- A mission report for this episode by Patrick Daniel O'Neill was published in The Official Star Trek: The Next Generation Magazine issue 15, pp. 24-26.
- Director Cliff Bole comments, "Gates did a very good job on it. Again, that was a savings program. For about 40 percent of the show, it was just her. She was separated in time from everyone else. It's not my favorite show, but I've received more positive letters about that episode than any other. It blew me away. Sometimes they give you a story and they know what it is, but they hope that the mirrors will change everything. It just doesn't happen. The written word is there. You can't just move the camera around and cover a weak script. That's why the Klingons and Borg lend themselves to creativity. It's a real challenge when you have someone running down the Enterprise corridor, like in "Remember Me"." ("Cliff Bole – Of Redemption & Unification", The Official Star Trek: The Next Generation Magazine issue 17, p. 31 and 34)

There is an essential link between environmentally-friendly farming systems and profitability. It's important for farmers, landowners, community leaders, concerned citizens and the business community to see that diversified farming systems can profit farmers and communities and play a key role in creating a healthy ecosystem. This initiative will create and support opportunities for all the stakeholders to work together to find innovative and viable ways to meet current and growing demands for products from grass-based livestock, trees, diversified crop rotations and perennial biomass.
Farms that include perennials in their cropping systems and livestock operations produce many benefits – or "profits" – for the farmers, for communities and for the land.
Because perennial plants, especially native grasses and legumes, have such extensive root systems, they improve water infiltration, prevent soil erosion, and sequester carbon.
Keeping water and soil on the land also means keeping nutrients where they belong – in the soil and out of our lakes, rivers and streams.

Someone in another thread said that they didn't really like the Dodge mechanic in DD, as the randomity of it doesn't quite jibe in a game where meticulous strategizing wins the day. Said poster may have been on to something.
I had an idea for a possible alternative to the current dodge system. It may be a bad idea, but I figure I have nothing to lose by sharing it.
What if after taking X hits (Five? Ten?), the next attack against you is guaranteed to whiff?

It might be hard to believe, but it has been seven years to the day since St Mirren came from behind to beat Hearts at Hampden and lift the Scottish League Cup for the first time - the club's first piece of silverware in more than a quarter of a century.
Captained by Jim Goodwin on a momentous Sunday afternoon at the national stadium, Buddies fell behind early on before Esmael Goncalves, Steven Thompson and Conor Newton sealed the comeback for Danny Lennon's side.
Transport yourself back to that gloriously wet afternoon with our match report below and our photo gallery...
St Mirren captured the Scottish Communities League Cup for the first time in their history after coming from behind to beat Hearts in one of the most dramatic finals witnessed at Hampden for many a year.
Ryan Stevenson opened the scoring for the Jambos with a drive in the 10th minute but in the 37th minute, against the run of play, Esmael Goncalves levelled from close range.
A minute into the second half veteran striker Steven Thompson converted a Paul Dummett cross before Conor Newton drove in number three.
Although Stevenson reduced the deficit with six minutes remaining to ensure a nervy ending, Danny Lennon's side held out.
It was a momentous Buddies victory that in truth looked unlikely for most of the first half as Hearts looked in complete control
However, that will not bother the thousands of Paisley Buddies who celebrated at the final whistle.
There was a massive Hearts support inside the national stadium but the smaller St Mirren contingent were just as noisy, creating a fabulous atmosphere at kick-off time.
St Mirren appeared to have survived some early pressure and as they worked their way into the game their first effort came in the eighth minute when a clever chip from Paul McGowan from the edge of the box sailed just past.
However, Hearts raced up the pitch moments later and scored.
Skipper Jim Goodwin's crunching tackle on Jambos striker Michael Ngoo saw the ball fall to Stevenson who faced up to Dummett outside the Buddies' box and he appeared to be the taking a little too much time to get his shot away.
There were five black and white jerseys around him when he eventually pulled the trigger and to the joy of the Jambos' supporters the ball nicked off Dummett before beating the flailing Samson.
The Paisley side looked gripped by nerves and unable to get any support to lone striker Thompson.
In the 20th minute the impressive Jamie Walker sent in a great cross from the left which took Samson out of the equation but Sutton was stretching and could only head the ball off the back post and behind.
The traffic remained mostly Paisley-bound.
In the 27th minute Samson had to react smartly to push away Kevin McHattie's in-swinging free-kick which evaded a clutch of players and almost sneaked in at the far post.
Then, Tynecastle midfielder Mehdi Taouil wriggled his way into the Saints box before sending a cross-cum-shot just past the far post, all of which meant Goncalves's equaliser in the 37th minute came as a surprise.
Thompson nipped in front of Gorgie stopper Danny Wilson sent Gary Teale racing down the right-wing with McHattie in his wake and when the former Derby winger cut the ball across goal the St Mirren forward, who had scored in the semi-final win over Celtic, stroked it into the empty net to change totally the complexion of the game.
As Hearts wobbled MacDonald had to race from his goal to thwart Teale as the Saints finished the half on top.
The second half was barely a minute old when Thompson fired St Mirren ahead.
Midfielder John McGinn fed Dummett on the left and when his cross came into the box the former Dundee United and Rangers striker beat Wilson to the ball before knocking it first-time past MacDonald.
Hearts were stunned but quickly responded. Walker fired a right-footed drive from 25 yards wide of the far post.
After good work by Taouil on the right-hand side, Samson had to make a point-blank save from Ngoo, who then headed McHattie's corner over the bar.
At the other end, as the game stretched, MacDonald blocked a close-range attempt by Thompson before midfielder Paul McGowan drove the rebound wide.
However, in the 66th minute Saints put one hand on the trophy when Newton played a one-two with Goncalves before breaking past the Hearts defence to power his shot past MacDonald.
🏁 Happy St Mirren's Day! pic.twitter.com/9IORcpYsD8— St Mirren FC (@saintmirrenfc) March 17, 2020
It was a remarkable turnaround and it was Hearts' turn to look helpless.
Arvydas Novikovas replaced Walker, Jason Holt came on for Ngoo while Dale Carrick came on for Taouil.
Thompson made way for Sam Parkin and McGinn was replaced by Graham Carey, both substitutions eliciting a huge ovation from the St Mirren supporters.
Time was running out for Hearts but Samson made a good save from McHattie's drive with defender Marc McAusland making a great block to deny Ngoo from the rebound, before Stevenson clipped the bar from close range.
However, it was the former Ayr United player who gave the Edinburgh side a lifeline in the 84th minute when he took a Ngoo pass and screwed the ball past Samson and into the far corner.
As the tension became almost unbearable in the final moments Stevenson forced a save from Samson with an angled-drive before hitting the outside of the post from the rebound.
As Hearts pushed for extra time in the three minutes added, the St Mirren fans urged the final whistle to arrive and when it did, the roar reached all the way to Paisley.

Fashionable women in Los Angeles, Orange County and the Inland Empire can help teen girls from Olive Crest attend the prom in style this spring at Robbins Brothers, The Engagement Ring Store's Sparkle & Share, the company's in-store dress drive benefiting the charity starting Monday, March 4 through Sunday, March 31, 2013. Patrons can drop off dresses at one of the seven Robbins Brothers locations in Los Angeles during normal business hours, and will receive a $50 gift certificate towards any sparkly purchase of $395 or more.
Robbins Brothers in Torrance and Riverside will host special parties in celebration of Sparkle & Share on Saturday, March 16 (11am-7pm) and Sunday, March 17 (11am-6pm). Guests will drop off dresses, enjoy desserts, share their own fun prom photos in-store and on social networks, and interact directly with Olive Crest representatives to learn more about the organization.
"This is such a great cause near and dear to my heart," said Diane Ferraro, director of brand experience and marketing for Robbins Brothers. "I'm grateful that we're able to give women near our store locations the chance to give back to the community, and also learn more about Olive Crest, a compassionate organization that strives to provide at-risk teens with a positive and rewarding life experience. We're honored to be a conduit that will help fulfill the dreams of these young ladies who will be able to attend their local proms in style, thanks to the generosity of customers and their friends donating bridesmaid dresses."
"We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to partner with Robbins Brothers in this effort," said William Bedrossian, executive director of Olive Crest's Los Angeles region. "Prom is just one of many important experiences Olive Crest is committed to providing our youth, and the generosity of Robbins Brothers and its customers will ensure our teen girls have a beautiful and memorable night."

Today I want to introduce a new release for those who are yearning for powdery scents. Unfortunately L'Eau en Blanc, the new perfume by Lolita Lempicka, is a limited edition. Inspired by susurrant wedding gowns and the color white, L'Eau en Blanc smells like baby powder, wedding almonds and the icing of a multi-level butter-cream tart, that tastes even better when eaten in the dawn. Sounds good?
The legendary flacon in the form of an apple is made out of pale pink crystal this time. You will feel like being covered by candyfloss wearing this scent. Without exaggeration it will let you move in your own personal little cloud, L'Eau en Blanc has a very intense aura.
Powdery iris and white violet are the groomsmen: soft powder notes and slightly sweetness. Add some almond flavor, which comes from heliotrope and some carrot seeds, which go very well with iris and finally some musk for a bride, who isn't completely innocent.
This apple isn't only for brides, but also for the bridesmaids, hopeless romantics and Snow White, who love sweet, powdery scents.
L'Eau en Blanc was created by Annick Menardo, who has been working for Lolita Lempicka and who also is responsible for the great success of Hypnotiv Poison by Dior. Cherchez la femme!
Category: women
Year: 2012
Perfumer: Annick Menardo
Notes: white violet, violet leaf, iris, raspberry, musk, heliotrope

Some Nokia Lumia 800 owners are receiving the Windows Phone 7.8 update earlier than expected, according to reports on Monday.
Dutch site WP7.nl has claimed that the long-awaited upgrade has become available via the Microsoft Zune syncing software.
"I just hung my Nokia Lumia 800 to Zune to justsome photos to sync and tadaaaa! There is an update ready!" the site reported (translated).
Not all users are detecting the update so it may be that Nokia is rolling out the new software to selected users or in certain territories initially.
Second prize
The Windows Phone 7.8 software was launched as a second prize for owners of handsets like the Lumia 800 and Lumia 900 who will not be able to upgrade to Windows Phone 8.
It brings many of the same features, including customisable Live Tile sizes and the ability to set Google as the default search provider within the Internet Explorer app.
The update was not expected to arrive until "early 2013," but just this weekend it appeared unofficially on the NaviFirm servers.
Users who were bold enough to 'flash' their handset were able to download and install the software on their Lumia handset

- ¼ t. crushed red pepper (optional)
-1 c. white wine
-4 plum tomatoes, chopped
-4 c. chicken broth
-1 bunch kale, (ribs removed, chopped)
-1 15 oz. can white beans
1- Heat oil in a dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add pork, sprinkle with salt
and cook, stirring once or twice, until no longer pink on the outside, about 2
minutes. Transfer to a plate with tongs, leaving juices in the pot.
2- Add onion to the pot and cook, stirring often, until just beginning to brown, 2
to 3 minutes. Add garlic, paprika and crushed red pepper (if using) and cook,
stirring constantly, until fragrant, and 30 seconds. Add wine and tomatoes,
increase heat to high and stir to scrape up any browned bits. Add broth and
bring to a boil.

Well I have been into the bike replacing rubber bits here and there. Just did a O Rings change in the starter, Alternator Monkey Nuts etc. etc. etc. I also found a tear in the Z hose. It ripped apart when I removed it. A new one is on the way. I cranked the bike over after putting it all back together again just to hear if the starter and alternator were ok. I had no Z hose installed. The bike starts but will not run.
So my question is one of better understanding what the Z Hose actually does and how that little hose can prevent the motor from running ?? IMPORTANT little hose

An early-day coal mine west of Durango, closed since 1926, no longer is leaking toxic metals but badly needs erosion control.
State Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety officials on Thursday visited the site north of Twin Buttes off U.S. Highway 160 with seven potential bidders interested in restoring and revegetating 5 acres of steep hillside.
The target is the Boston Mine, also known as Perins Peak No. 1, which operated from 1901 to 1926. The site produced more than 1 million tons of coal and left behind about 4,000 cubic yards of coal waste.
Production was robust enough that Boston Coal and Fuel Co. established Perins, a town that in its heyday boasted a school, a boarding house and 200 inhabitants.
Only sections of the railroad grade leading to the community and remnants of building foundations remain.
The mine is within the Perins Peak Wildlife Area, which comprises 12,000 acres of Colorado Parks and Wildlife and Bureau of Land Management holdings.
The area is closed to the public Nov. 15 to July 15 as a winter haven for deer, elk, turkeys and snoozing black bears and in the spring for nesting peregrine falcons. The western half opens April 1 because no peregrines nest there.
As Durango develops and outlying subdivisions appear, the area is all the more valuable for wildlife, said Patt Dorsey, area wildlife manager for Colorado Parks and Wildlife in Durango.
Dorsey didnt accompany the visitors.
We bought the land in chunks over the years with federal money specifically for wildlife habitat, Dorsey said. People can still do a lot hike, hunt or bird-watch in the area as long as it doesnt interfere with wildlife.
Kirstin Brown, restoration project manager for the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety, emphasized the need to respect wildlife species and the vegetation that nourishes or shelters them as she hiked the area with the contractors.
Vehicle traffic and machinery must be kept to a minimum, and the winning bidder will have only one month, from mid-July to mid-August, to complete the work, she said.
Requirements go as far as to require that vehicles be inspected to assure that no foreign material is introduced.
If Parks and Wildlife approves, helicopters could ferry material such as compost to the steep hillsides where mine tailings must be stabilized, seeded and mulched by hand, Brown said.
Even with the strict on-site job requirements and the demanding timetable, the project is doable, said Morgana Patrick from Conservation Seeding & Restoration.
The firm is headquartered in Kimberly, Idaho, with branches in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming.
Im here to get the specs, Patrick said. Theyll put the numbers together in the office.
Efforts to clean up the Boston Mine site, which at one time leaked 20 gallons a minute of toxic iron, copper, manganese and zinc into Lightner Creek, arent new.
In 1992, grants from the Office of Surface Mining and the Bureau of Mines funded construction of wetland retention ponds to treat seepage and to assess the effectiveness of certain work.
We stopped the leaks with the wetlands and by closing a collapsed spot that was allowing water to fill the mine workings and create seepage elsewhere, Brown said.
No seepage is seen today, she said.
The restoration will include closing a shaft, contouring a hillside, redirecting a ditch to carry runoff to one of the old retention ponds and seeding, mulching and applying 8 inches of compost and biochar woody material reduced to charcoal through anaerobic processing that retains a lot of water.

The new My Heritage Blog has a post by Kim dated 13 October 2010, entitled, "Genealogy Books -- A Popular Research Tool?" The article discusses the popularity of genealogy books in the UK and other topics. At the end of the article, Kim asks the question, "Do you have a book that you think every genealogist should have on their bookshelf? As a matter of fact, I have a number of them.
My basic approach to any subject of interest is to go to the library and check out every book I can find on the subject and read all of them. In my earlier years, when I wasn't so wrapped up in genealogy, I could read more than a book a day. Now, I am very much more selective although I still read a few books on my iPhone while waiting for appointments or at other odd times during the day.
When I comes to genealogy books, the local library had a very weak offering, so I ended up purchasing every interesting book I could find. Usually, I would look at the Brigham Young University Bookstore. They have a very large selection, not only for the classes on family history, but a good selection of other books of more general interest. I am afraid that my selection is heavily slanted towards the United States topics and England, Ireland and Scotland. Outside of one line from Denmark, all of my ancestors came from the British Isles.
The one book that gave me a good understanding of the whole subject of genealogy was and is:
Greenwood, Val D. The Researcher's Guide to American Genealogy. Baltimore, MD: Genealogical Pub. Co, 2000.
Here is another one:
Fischer, David Hackett. Albion's Seed: Four British Folkways in America. New York: Oxford University Press, 1989.
Not strictly a genealogy book, but still a valuable resource that provides a fundamental understanding of the settlement of British America.
Continuing with a selection of others:
Szucs, Loretto Dennis, and Sandra Hargreaves Luebking. The Source : a Guidebook of American Genealogy. Provo, UT: Ancestry, 2006.
Everton, George B. The Handy Book for Genealogists: United States of America. Logan, Utah: Everton Publishers, 1999.
Eichholz, Alice. Red Book: American State, County and Town Sources. Provo, Utah: Ancestry, 2004.
From there, I have dozens and dozens more, all of which are more or less useful depending on what I am doing at the moment. With all the hoopla about the Internet, books still haven't lost their appeal or their usefulness.

VIENNA (Reuters) - North Korea has made further progress in the construction of a new atomic reactor, the U.N. nuclear chief reported on Thursday, a facility that may extend the country's capacity to produce material for nuclear bombs.
Pyongyang "has continued construction of the light water reactor and largely completed work on the exterior of the main buildings," Yukiya Amano, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said.
But, he told the IAEA's 35-nation governing board that the U.N. agency "remains unable to determine the reactor's design features or the likely date for its commissioning."
North Korea says it needs nuclear power to provide electricity, but has also boasted of its nuclear deterrence capability and has traded nuclear technology with Syria, Libya and probably Pakistan.
The light-water reactor is being built at the North's main Yongbyon nuclear facility, which consists of a five-megawatt reactor, a fuel fabrication facility and a plutonium reprocessing plant where weapons-grade material has been extracted from spent fuel rods.
North Korea was the first country to withdraw from the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty in 2003 and has denied IAEA access to its atomic sites, reneging on a February deal to do so after it announced plans to launch a long-range rocket, in defiance of United Nations Security Council resolutions.
It was believed earlier this year to be pushing ahead with plans for a third nuclear test.
Amano said he remained "seriously concerned" about the North's nuclear program, which his inspectors can only monitor via satellite images.
In May, website 38North said North Korea had resumed construction work on the experimental light water reactor (ELWR) after stopping in December.
38North - run by the U.S.-Korea Institute at Johns Hopkins University and former U.S. State Department official Joel Wit - said the ELWR, when operational, could produce enough material for an additional nuclear bomb each year.
U.S. expert David Albright has estimated a higher potential production of about 20 kg of weapon-grade plutonium a year, enough material for four nuclear weapons or more. But he said it could also produce electricity.
A highly enriched uranium program running alongside this could allow North Korea to increase significantly the number of nuclear devices it could produce, giving it a dual track to nuclear weapons as it has big reserves of uranium.
Amano said: "While the agency continues to monitor the reported uranium enrichment facility, using satellite imagery, its configuration and operational status cannot be established."
North Korea carried out nuclear tests in 2006 and 2009 and is under heavy U.N. sanctions for its atomic weapons program.
The IAEA said in August that "significant progress" had been made in the light water reactor's construction since a year earlier, including placing a dome on the containment building.
Also in August, the Institute for Science and International Security - founded by Albright - said satellite imagery from May and June showed construction "progressing apace". It said the reactor could be completed in the second half of 2013.

Be it enacted by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That §11-21-3 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, be amended and reenacted to read as follows:
§11-21-3. Imposition of tax; persons subject to tax.
(a) Imposition of tax.
(1) Primary tax. -- A tax determined in accordance with the rates hereinafter set forth in this article is hereby imposed for each taxable year on the West Virginia taxable income of every individual, estate and trust: Provided, That a veteran of the United States Armed Forces, honorably discharged, and the veteran's current spouse are exempt from payment of this tax for a total of five years if the veteran locates in West Virginia following separation from military service, resides in the state during the period of exemption, and presents an application to the state Tax Division of the Department of Revenue along with a DD Form 214 and proof of a valid state driver's license or other identification acceptable to the Tax Commissioner to verify state residence. The veteran or spouse is eligible for the exemption in any year within ten years following the date of separation shown on the DD Form 214.
(2) Minimum tax. -- In addition to the primary tax imposed by this section, there is imposed a minimum tax, which shall be the excess, if any, by which an amount equal to twenty-five percent of any federal minimum tax or alternative minimum tax for the taxable year exceeds the primary tax imposed by this section for the taxable year.
(3) Effective date. -- The minimum tax herein imposed and made effective on and after April 1, 1983, shall expire, be nullified and of no further force or effect whatsoever for tax years beginning on and after January 1, 2010.

(c) Associations taxable as corporations. -- An association, trust or other unincorporated organization which is taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, shall not be subject to tax under this article.
(d) Exempt trusts and organizations. -- A trust or other unincorporated organization which by reason of its purposes or activities is exempt from federal income tax shall be exempt from tax under this article (regardless of whether subject to federal income tax on unrelated business taxable income).
(e) Cross references. -- For definitions of West Virginia taxable income of:
(1) Resident individual, see section eleven.
(2) Resident estate or trust, see section eighteen.
(3) Nonresident individual, see section thirty.
(4) Nonresident estate or trust, see section thirty-eight.
NOTE: The purpose of this bill is to exempt from state income tax, for five years, veterans and their spouses who locate in the state following separation from military service.
Strike-throughs indicate language that would be stricken from the present law, and underscoring indicates new language that would be added.

From Panel To Power
The unit works by taking solar power produced by the panel and converts it over to power that is the same as what any of your home electronics and appliances use. Upon delivery, all you have to do is unbox it, attach the BYOP, add mounting, place it facing the sun, and plug it into a wall outlet. The DC power from the panel is converted to AC power by means of a preinstalled microinverter. This microinverter then outputs 240V AC power which most homes have running into them. To get this power down to what your electronics and your home outlets use, the 240V power is reduced to 120V through use of a transformer. The power is now ready to feed back into your panel, subsidizing the power being used by all of your household electronics.
Kit includes:
270 Watt Renogy Solar Panel
250 Watt Northern Electric Power BDM250 microinverter
Pre-wired – the Lead Unit comes with a 25' cable, making it easy to place your panel anywhere
Ground wire pre-installed
Wireless energy production monitor
Aluminum cross bar to attach to the existing frame of the module
How does it work?
When you order this kit, you will receive two separate packages. The solar panel will come directly from Renogy Solar and the actual solar kit will come directly from us!
Eligible for 30% federal tax credit

Anyone here with experience with the mitochondrial swelling assay for the measurement of the opening of the permeability transition pore? I'm using the method that evaluates the decrease in absorbance at 540 nm. I'm working with a fungus and there's nothing in the literature about this. I get a "weird" profile (see attachment).
1) the "temporal dynamics" are quite different from what is observed in mammalian cells (normally I see 5 minute experiments and in my case I observed decrease in absorbance at least during the first half hour)
2) I get a very weird (but very reproducible) peak at 2-5mins after the addition of CaCl2. This is not inhibited by cyclosporin A, so I don't know what this is... any idea??
3) I get a decrease in absorbance after this, prolonged in time that is inhibited by cyclosporin A, so I guess this is the PTP opening.
Can someone please comment on this?
Thank you.
