LE PROCÈS DE MARIE-ANNE HOUDE Nous avons tous notre propre version des faits en ce qui concerne l'histoire tragique de la petite Aurore l'enfant martyre. Et si le scénario que nous avions en tête ne correspondait pas à la réalité ? Annie se penche sur l'histoire du procès de la tristement célèbre Marie-Anne Houde, belle-mère d'Aurore. On y aborde une version de l'histoire réétudiée par l'auteur et journaliste Daniel Proulx. Celui-ci nous amène à nous questionner sur la véracité du récit d'Aurore, ce même récit qui a laissé sa trace depuis plus de 100 ans. LA DISPARITION DE NATHALIE CHAMPIGNY En février 1992, Nathalie Champigny est coincée dans une relation difficile avec son ex-conjoint avec qui elle tente de couper les ponts. Après un dernier repas avec lui, on ne la reverra plus jamais.   Pour accéder à toutes les sources et photos de cet épisode, rejoignez-nous sur le site web de Captives. https://www.baladocaptives.com/   Pour vous renseigner sur notre partenaire ou pour commander votre assiette de rêve, c'est juste ici: https://www.sushialamaison.com/

All that and more in this HOT new episode of Always Hold On To Smallville!

Earl Grey: A Star Trek The Next Generation Podcast

Crew Finale. "The trial never ended, captain.  We never reached a verdict. But now we have. You're guilty." Daniel Proulx, Darren Moser, and Phillip Gilfus stood, provisionally, as representatives of Star Trek: The Next Generation fans for three years - never missing a week of giving testimony and evidence in defense of their favorite Star Trek series. But they now stand before Q one last time to receive their final verdict. The trio ends their time on Earl Grey in this episode - remembering their favorite podcast moments, what kept them coming to the mics week after week, what they believe are the "essential" ingredients for doing a Trek podcast, and what they will keep with them as they move on to their next adventure together. Listen for a "Shades of Grey" experience, as clips from past shows are intermixed with Daniel, Darren, and Phillip's list of "thank you's" to those many people who helped made their time at Trek.fm something they will never forget. They also spend their last moments recognizing what they learned most from each other (though not holographically in front of a Windows 95 desktop background). "You just don't get it, do you, Jean-Luc? The trial never ends. We wanted to see if you had the ability to expand your mind and your horizons. And for one brief moment, you did." Earl Grey spent time exploring the best way to experience bij, the importance of the shift key, and why it's not important to remember Q-episode titles. More than that, they explored and exhibited the spirit of Next Gen - a utopian vision of the future where the ties of friendship ensures that a crew can survive any danger and improve themselves through shared missions of exploration. Earl Grey remind all listeners to stay tuned and that a new crew will soon take their stations ... after all, there's still plenty of letters left in the alphabet. "In any case, I'll be watching. And if you're very lucky, I'll drop by to say hello from time to time. See you ... out there!" CHAPTERS Leaving (00:03:56) Shades of Earl Grey Montage?

Earl Grey: A Star Trek The Next Generation Podcast

Enduring Popularity of TNG. Star Trek: The Next Generation premiered on television in 1987 - almost 30 years later, the second live incarnation of Star Trek on television remains a vital part of the franchise and an enduring pop culture icon. Phillip, Daniel, and Darren have taken apart TNG for over three years on this podcast - discussing characters, story lines, technical aspects, themes, and everything else in between. This has led to one great question: What is behind the enduring popularity of Next Gen? Earl Grey conducts a roundtable discussion that focuses on how TNG remains relevant, what characters and storylines fit in with today's world, and how new fans are "re-discovering" a thirty-year-old television show. They examine the reputation of Next Gen compared to the other Trek series, what the stereotypes are, and what the "popular opinion" is of Captain Picard and the crew of the 24th Century starship Enterprise. Join Earl Grey as they compress their 3 years worth of discussions into one retrospective episode about the enduring popularity of Star Trek: The Next Generation.  A SPECIAL TREK.FM EARL GREY EVENT ANNOUNCEMENT FOR STAR TREK LAS VEGAS Listeners know #BridgeMates from Earl Grey episodes 82 (“When in Doubt Choose Data”), 109 (“He Hasn't Watched That One”), and 141 (“The Council of Mistresses”), as well as To the Journey 117 (“BridgeMates Rematch”) and Standard Orbit 102 (“Trying to Kill Zoolander”). There is even the original trivia panel show “Encounter at All Good Things” from Earl Grey 137. Earl Grey is proud to announce a live presentation of “Super BridgeMates” at the Star Trek Las Vegas 50th Anniversary Convention on Friday, August 5 from 12:30 to 1:15 pm. It will be held on the Roddenberry Stage at Quark's Bar, hosted by Phillip Hunter Gilfus. Your favorite team of “Free Enterprise” (Darren Moser and Daniel Proulx) will attempt to escape defeat (again) against two rival BridgeMate Teams - “Team Lizard Babies” (Charlynn Schmiedt and Tristan Riddell) and “The Council of Mistresses” (Andi VanderKolk and Jarrah Hodge). When it comes to celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Star Trek, regular BridgeMates simply won't do. That's why this game show will be “Super BridgeMates”- a fun-filled, comedic game show involving fans, cosplayers, and audience members. Not only will the teams compete in hilarious trivia, but those in the audience will participate by acting out selected scenes from our favorite Star Trek moments and cosplayers will help create puzzles for the teams to solve. It's all about the love of Star Trek! ‪#‎roddenberry‬ CHAPTERS Roundtable Questions (00:04:27) Closing (00:54:47) HOSTS Daniel Proulx, Phillip Gilfus, & Darren Moser PRODUCTION Darren Moser (Editor and Producer) C Bryan Jones (Executive Producer) Matthew Rushing (Executive Producer) Norman C.

Surprisingly, this was actually an idea that Russell T. Davies, former show runner of the British series Doctor Who, mentioned in a 2009 interview. In this episode of Warp Five, hosts Jeff Harlan and Floyd Dorsey are joined by Daniel Proulx and Phillip Gilfus of Earl Grey to tackle the combination of Enterprise and Doctor Who.

Leaked map 1:57:34 - Talking Zeds: Beta Season Oh No... BETA!! Beta Release Schedule from MajorNelson If it's broken, it's a Beta. Usually; beta = Software that is feature complete but known to be buggy (beta to iron out the rest of the bugs). With games it's more of a stress test Beta = a good way to cancel pre-orders :) Rainbow 6 Siege beta Gears of War Ultimate edition Evolve Homefront Revolution DOOM - plays like Quake, not old Doom. Leaderboard achievements like Quake 4? Hopefully not. Season Pass - Crandy rant Exclusivity from a beta? e.g Sonic 2 Beta cartridge (this is a promo copy, not a beta) Mega Hype Train *choo choo* "Betas are the problem of the people who play them" - Crandy DOOM - If the game is coming out in 2 weeks, it's already printed…. So the demo isn't really going to change any features.  This is where the stress test comes in, it's tweaking the servers pre-launch. And hopefully any game-breaking bugs. Destiny beta - balancing exercise in multiplayer Halo 5 - missing some very key user interface pieces… this is more of an alpha Huge response from the community on betas McLovin Legend: Achievements? No, some demos do (as discussed) - but not betas. Limits play time because no achievements :)   We, as a community, do have bad habits when it comes to games that don't have achievements. Preview program: Elite Dangerous, Arc, Solus Project "We" are backlog junkies Sometimes you can get perks in the preview/ beta releases LordChabelo13: Waste of time for Achievement Hunters AHP TheNyghty: Preview program, still in active development (Arc, DayZ) Dev state not a bad thing Minecraft - for years was essentially an alpha/ beta More involved when in active development 3 years is not long for a large game (e.g: Elite Dangerous) - you are seeing more of the development time than with triple As People yelling at clouds Kez001: Avoid betas…. Or maybe keep playing if they convince you not to buy games. Only play betas for games you are interested in. Decoy1982: Wizards who come from the moon spankyNspronkle: Battleborn MightyMango: Why bother doing a beta if retail release is borked? Facial la Fleur has a good response here. Where do you go to report bugs? Sometimes not obvious…. Or they're not looking for you to find bugs. PvZ:GW2 beta had a really good forum for reporting bugs (Jo) Time commitment Dead Rising Demo Term "Beta" is a marketing tool (open vs closed beta) Different expectations Tons of people bought Crackdown for Halo 3 beta - balance testing and marketing… something has to be exclusive Abundant codes are annoying Bungie good with communication and betas Big Ell: Betamax and LaserDisc 2:52:33 - Bootcamp: GRAW Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter Not for completionists! Cheats do not void single player achievements 550 GamerScore available fairly easily Avoid the multiplayer if you don't like odd-achievement values Multiplayer can mostly be done split-screen 2:55:16 - Jo's Reviews: Final Fantasy XV FemHype article Final Fantasy XV Platinum Demo Final Fantasy Type-0 HD (for the other demo) What Jo's Been Playing: Quantum Break 3:02:28 - Knobs and Discos FIFA Street (2012): Friendly Publicity fixed Project Spark (both versions): Conker and Seph level 10 and level 20 achievements were broken for ages but have been modified by the developer - new criteria is based on number of times played through Crossroads, e.g. level 10 = play through Crossroads 10 times. Rumours the Freamer (log in each day) achievements are buggy and not unlocking or updating progress - unconfirmed at this stage Project Spark developer appears to be winding down, if you want to get the most of out Spark now is the time to do it! Pure Pool: Maximum Break is fixed Rise of the Tomb Raider (360): Witch Trials - currently unobtainable Total Conquest (both versions) - level 30 achievement popped for someone at level 100, speculation is that the level 100 achievement may unlock at a higher level again.

Favorite Earl Grey episodes.Star Trek: The Next Generation has inspired, motivated, and entertained fans for almost thirty years -- especially three specific (and familiar) fans: Darren Moser, Daniel Proulx, and Phillip Gilfus. The trio of Earl Grey look back over the 122 Next Gen topics they have discussed for three years and pick their top three favorite shows, as well as some honorable mention podcast episodes.Their choices include their crossovers with other trek.fm podcasts, like "Earl Grey 15: The Movie Should Write Itself," an in-depth look at the inaugural TNG film Star Trek: Generations with the co-hosts of "Standard Orbit," and "Earl Grey 100: All Ships Are Big Shuttles," a role-playing game celebrating TNG and the trekfm family. The trio remember their once-in-a-lifetime interview with Counselor Deanna Troi herself, Marina Sirtis ("Earl Grey 112: Troi, Goddess of Internity"), as well as one of their many signature game-playing adventures when, together, they defeated "Not Gowron" during "Star Trek: The Next Generation Interactive VCR Board Game: A Klingon Challenge" ("Earl Grey 69: Experience Bij").The co-hosts also talk about the much-beloved game #BridgeMates ("Earl Grey 82: When In Doubt, Choose Data"), their first episode re-write of a TNG episode, "Masks" (Earl Grey 105: Snakebot: The Great Librarian), and discuss the origins, operations, and favorite aspects of this weekly Next Gen podcast.

Shuttlepod One. Some of the best episodes of Star Trek are heavy on dialogue and light on action. But taking two characters and shoving them into a tiny space, from which they deliver incessant dialogue for 45 minutes, was a gutsy move for a new show trying to engage skeptical audiences in its first season. Did it pay off? In this episode of The Ready Room, we're joined by Matthew Rushing, Daniel Proulx, and Kevin Reitzel to discuss this very small bottle show, what it tells us about the characters, hope vs. pessimism, the deleted scene, and more. Oh … and we might mention T'Pol once of twice. In our news segment, we look back at 24 years of The Undiscovered Country, debate the StarTrek.com poll that asked which captain you would want to swap places with for a day, and discuss Star Trek Beyond piggybacking on Star Wars: The Force Awakens with a first trailer.

We've all heard the expression “selling your soul to the Devil.” The people of Ventax II took this perhaps a bit too literally when nature started getting restless and a con-artist with a claim to the planet showed up.

The City On the Edge of Forever. Nearly 50 years after it was written, “City” remains one of the most beloved of all Star Trek episodes. It's the first time travel story that most fans remember (sorry “Naked Time” and “Tomorrow Is Yesterday”) and made screwing with the past cool long before it became Star Trek's go-to trope. But, as a story that really lacks most of what makes TOS what it is, why does this story transcend time? In this episode of The Ready Room, we're joined by Phillip Gilfus, Andi VanderKolk, and Daniel Proulx to seek out the answer. We explore the premise, the time travel mechanism, soft-focus lighting, Edith Keeler's place in time, Kirk's dilemma, and what the story might have been like had it been set in Chicago—as Harlan Ellison originally wrote it. And, along the way, we find all the culture. Or at least most of it. In our news segment, we share our thoughts on Jonathan Frakes's recent comments about Star Trek not returning to television, and we remember the woman who, with her beehive hair and just eight appearances, helped define The Original Series.   Hosts Christopher Jones and Phillip Gilfus   Guests Andi VanderKolk and Daniel Proulx   Editor and Producer Christopher Jones   Executive Producers Matthew Rushing and Norman C.

Daredevil. The last time Daredevil was seen on screen it was 2003 in theaters with the all-star cast of Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner, Michael Clark Duncan and Colin Farrell. Despite the star-power, the movie failed to capture audiences and quickly became synonymous with failure. Marvel came to the rescue when it announced it would create four different shows for Netflix based on it's comics and Daredevil would be among them. In this episode of The 602 Club host Matthew Rushing is joined by Andi Vanderkolk and Daniel Proulx to talk about this new Daredevil. We start by by discussing the new Fantastic 4 trailer, the news that Daredevil will be getting a second season, our first impressions, Kingpin, the juxtaposition of the hero and villain, the priest, secret identities, the story-telling style, the acting, how evil destroys itself, final thoughts, ratings, creative freedom, Claire and try to close.     Host Matthew Rushing   Guests Andi VanderKolk Daniel Proulx   Editor and Producer Matthew Rushing Richard Marquez   Associate Producers Norman C.

BridgeMates.Bridge officers get to know each other after years of service together, forming friendships just like Data and Geordi La Forge's, that last a lifetime. But how well do they really know each other? That question is put to the test with the newestStar Trek: The Next Generation based-game, "BridgeMates." Phillip Gilfus plays game show host in a three-round competition (plus bonus round!) that places the remaining Earl Grey co-hosts Darren Moser and Daniel Proulx against the co-hosts of the sister Trek.fm podcast To the Journey, Charlynn Schmiedt and Tristan Riddell. The two teams must answer TNG-based questions and see if they can correctly match the same answer that their co-host gives. Will the Next Genexperts Darren and Daniel get to have their "arms raised in victory" at the end? Or will the more "seasoned" duo of Charlynn and Tristan use their Delta Quadrant-based Borg knowledge to think with one hive mind?

Iron Man. Some movies spend years languishing in development hell and Iron Man was one of the longest. From 1990 to 2005 it bounced around from studio to studio; it wasn't until 2006 that Marvel acquired back the rights and decided to use it as the launching pad for it's own studio as well as a cinematic universe that the film would finally materialize. In this episode of The 602 Club host Matthew Rushing is joined by Jose Munoz, Andi VanderKolk and Daniel Proulx to talk about Iron Man. We discuss the long production history of the film, our first thoughts, realism in comic book movies, The cast, the villain, story, music, direction and ask if it still holds up.    Host Matthew Rushing   Guests  Andi VanderKolk Daniel Proulx Jose Munoz   Editor and Producer Matthew Rushing Richard Marquez   Associate Producers Norman C.

Earl Grey: A Star Trek The Next Generation Podcast

Scotty in TNG.The continuing mission of the characters from Star Trek The Original Series was left a verboten topic for the first half of The Next Generation. However, after the appearance of Ambassador Sarek in season three ("Sarek"), as well as the cameo of a certain ornery admiral in the pilot episode "Encounter at Farpoint," the floodgates were open for TOS characters to "special" guest star in the second incarnation of Trek on television. Captain Montgomery "Scotty" Scott beamed into the 24th century in the sixth season episode "Relics" and found it difficult to find a place on this new Enterprise, with its "bloody" D suffix. Daniel Proulx, Darren Moser, and guest co-host Andy Farber explore Scotty's difficulties of being a man out of his time, and whether theTNG writers were faithful to his character. The interplay between the competingEnterprise chief engineers, Scotty and Lt. Cmdr. Geordi LaForge, reveal not only the differences between those two characters, but also the differences between the two beloved Trek television shows. Join Earl Grey as they mourn poor Franklin, drink something green, and remember times past on the Holodeck for their discussion of Scotty's appearance on TNG.HostsDaniel Proulx and Darren MoserEditor / ProducerDarren Moser Production Manager Richard Marquez   Content Coordinator Will Nguyen ChaptersGuest Andy (00:02:10)Relics (00:10:30) Hey look, its Scotty!

When the lights went down in the theater in 1998, we all sat there with trepidation. We hoped that the new Star Trek movie would live up to it’s predecessor First Contact and when it didn’t, many of us wondered what had gone wrong. Jonathan Frakes had directed and Michael Piller had written the script, this should have been a dynamic duo. In this episode of Literary Treks hosts Matthew Rushing and Dan Gunter are joined by Larry Nemecek and Daniel Proulx to discuss Michael Piller’s unpublished book Fade In. We wonder why Trek is always trying to relive it’s glory days, talk about the first story idea Star Trek: Stardust, what happens after Rick Berman and Patrick Stewart see the script, the stripping away of the Star Trekness, Ira Steven Behr’s thoughts, what the studio wanted, as well as ask the questions of whether fans really know what’s best and if this book helps us feel better about the movie. In the news segment we judge a book by it’s cover as well as look forward to James Swallow’s newly announced Five Year Mission novel.

The Arts in TNG.The Next Generation arguably features the most concerts, play performances, poetry readings, and art works than any other Star Trek television series. Whether it was having every senior officer being musically inclined, having fun in the clay modeling room making a mask or an entry for "Captain Picard Day," or keeping Commander William T. Riker from the nude modeling painting class, TNG inserted cultural works into many episodes. The show's writers/producers made sure that noted Shakespearean performer Sir Patrick Stewart incorporated several references in the series' seven-year run, from the Bard's historical plays to his sonnets. Lt. Commander Data's development in humanity also included his exploration of artistic self-expression, leading to him playing the violin, painting his dreams, and being directed by Captain Jean-Luc Picard in his one-man performance of a "A Christmas Carol." Join co-hosts Phillip Gilfus, Darren Moser, and Daniel Proulx as they find the "sweet spot" of the NCC-1701-D, bust out their Ressikan flute and rolled-up piano keyboard, and talk about the great music, plays, and art of TNG.
