Reviewing Star Trek TNG - S4E3 “Brothers”
Tumblr media
In retrospect, that title doesn't quite fit the episode. But they already called the last episode "Family," so hindsight is 20/20. Though "Droids From the Same Noid" was still ripe for the taking.
THE PREMISE
After a misguided prank between two young siblings exposes the younger of them to a deadly parasite which they're unable to treat aboard the Enterprise, they're en route to a Starbase where the boy can be treated. Suddenly Data returns to the bridge, sets a new course and triggers a life support alarm, forcing the rest of the senior crew to evacuate the bridge while he locks down the ship.
MY REVIEW
Golly gee, two episodes in a row focusing on family. Vin Diesel must be happier than a pig in shit right now.
Depending on who you ask, Data's complete takeover of the bridge is either pretty effective in showing how intelligent Data is as a character or in showing how crappy the Enterprise's security measures are when one rogue android can take control of the entire ship.
Tumblr media
Then again, they were once held hostage by a hologram who couldn't even leave the room projecting him, so I guess it isn't that much of a stretch. Plus I doubt they could've predicted Data using his voice to impersonate Picard.
Wait a minute.
Tumblr media
Well, I’ve got egg on my face.
But yeah, Data manages to make his way through the ship without difficulty due to programming a series of force fields to keep the rest of the crew at bay... despite multiple points where I feel like the crew could've gotten to him. Feels weird. But he still manages to beam down to the planet with the Enterprise still on lockdown, and finds himself in the home of that weird old guy from the header image.
Speaking of that weird old guy, he reveals himself to be Doctor Noonien Soong, Data's creator and kind-of father, who is apparently still alive. He's also played by Brent Spiner in layers of old-age makeup which look much better than the series' earlier efforts.
Tumblr media
Soong gives some vague exposition about how he somehow survived the crystalline entity which destroyed his colony, as well as disappointment that his "son" joined Starfleet instead of becoming a scientist, pretty standard stuff. But Data at least takes the rare opportunity to ask why Soong created him in the first place. Brent Spiner has a nice conversation with himself as they arrive at the conclusion that it was part of humanity's inherent need for continuity.
Data: I suppose it is a factor in the human desire to procreate.
Soong: So you believe that having children gives humans a sense of immortality?
Sure, what’s the difference? They’re both overrated.
But before I can dish out any more spicy takes, a familiar face (in more ways than one) shows up.
"Looks like we have ourselves a... family reunion."
Tumblr media
Golly gee, I sure am glad that attaching that file for a single joke went off without a hitch! I definitely didn't accidentally delete an entire review the last time I tried that!
Tumblr media
Yeah, don't be surprised if you see a re-review of "Evolution" on your dashboard in the near future, cuz that review doesn't really exist anymore. Or maybe y'all could hunt down a reblogged version and send it to me. Just saying.
Anyway, yay! Family reunion!
So yeah. Lore is back. After being beamed into space way back in season 1 and being left to drift for two years, he made his way here after being picked up by a Pakled ship. And honestly, that scans. He made his way back through the same homing device that called Data back, and Brent Spiner gets another few days of overtime.
This episode must have been a pain in the ass for him to film. But it’s a testament to his acting prowess when he can make the three of them feel like different characters, even when two of them look exactly the same.
As Brent Spiner warns himself not to trust himself, we get some of that sweet, sweet Soong family drama, with Lore resenting both Soong and Data for how they treated him and almost leaving before Soong reveals to both of them that he's dying. Something which you could probably guess just by looking at him.
Lore: What do you mean you're dying? You look fine!
Sir, he looks like a baked potato.
Dr Soong explains to his favourite son (and Lore) that the reason he summoned Data there was to bestow upon him an emotion chip to allow him to feel the same broad spectrum of emotions that Lore can.
Tumblr media
However, Soong arbitrarily decides to rest before the procedure, rather idiotically leaving his two sons unattended. I say so because when he performs the operation later, it turns out that Lore managed to incapacitate and deactivate Data and switch clothes with him (which is exactly what he did last time and exactly why Data tried to warn Soong that Lore couldn't be trusted), and despite Soong's warnings that the chip isn't compatible with him, Lore fatally wounds his creator and beams away.
Tumblr media
Wow. Lore went rogue and betrayed them. Whosoever could have predicted this. Certainly not I.
The rest of the crew of course beams down and finds a deactivated Data in another room. They had their own subplot about removing the ship's lockdown and tracking down Data which I chose to ignore.
Tumblr media
Still, Data at least gets a nice moment of... grief probably isn't the right word... where he stays with his creator in his final moments.
"Everybody dies, Data. Well... almost everybody. Goodbye, Data..."
"Goodbye... father..."
And that's pretty much it. While the Soong family reunion is interesting, it feels like Rick Berman (in one of his handful of writing credits, despite being a longtime producer on the franchise) didn’t have enough of the runtime to do what he was going for. Which is ironic, considering we apparently had time for an entire damn subplot about two children who we’ll never see again.
Yeah, remember them? The impetus for the episode's entire plot? They were just vibing in sickbay the whole time, taking up way too much screentime trying to resolve their little spat. I haven't mentioned them at all because all their scenes are boring filler.
Tumblr media
I mean, they try to justify it by throwing in some last-minute parallels between their relationship and Data’s relationship with Lore, but it ends up feeling pretty forced, even if it is the main source of tension since . But to be honest, I haven't cared so little about a threat to a child's life since I last watched an episode of Caillou. Just remove all the shit about the two brothers and free up more time for the Soong family sitcom.
I think that's my biggest problem with this episode - there's just not enough time for anything meaningful to happen. Data takes almost half the episode to even get down to the planet, then it takes even longer for Lore to appear, and all the while valuable runtime is being eaten up by the Enterprise crew trying to find them and an unrelated subplot which none of us care about.
The whole situation with Lore and Dr Soong feels more interested in setting up a later episode than focusing on its own goddamn story. This script isn't bad, far from it, but it definitely could've used another draft or two to weed out the unnecessary shit and tighten things up. I'm sure we'll see Lore again (you don't set up something like an unstable emotion chip in an already dangerous android without following it up later), but I just wish his appearance here had been more interesting.
Wow. Look at me actually reviewing an episode in a review.
6/10 - Feels like wasted potential.

This month I was fortunate to participate in a massive podfic challenge called @voiceteam​ on Discord, and was a part of Team Orange-You-Glad-I-Saved-This-Braincell.
TEAM BRAINCELL TOP 12 PODFICS (and other audio fanworks)
If you would like to hear the best of our work, you can listen to a highlights reel here.
12. In Which We Properly Sort Water Into It's Hogwart's House, and other Such Things by Team Braincell
Type: Oral not!fic Featuring: @mayonnaisetoffees​, @omg-elledubs-things​, @romansuzume​, @jetainia​, @oakleaffic​, @shadowravin, @sunlightsymphony​, and @fishandchipsandvinegar​ Fandom: Water Ship: Many, Many Things/Water Rating: Explicit Length: 36:21
While this oral not!fic entertains the idea of water having its own fandom, it did birth all of our “Water Fandom” content on AO3. It seems cracky, but this not!fic is actually a really funny listen if you’re looking to kill a bit of time. And we think the Water Fandom is really going to take off. Even if we have to single handedly do it:
11. The Influences of Ourselves by @jetainia​
Type: Podfic Read By: @jetainia​ Fandom: Water and Harry Potter Crossover Ship: The Black Lake/The Giant Squid Rating: Mature Length: 2:00
This requires some context of the “Water Fandom” mentioned above as it is one of the fanworks created for it. It’s the story of The Black Lake and the Giant Squid and is actually really beautiful.
10. What Do You Do As A Fallen Angel by @fishandchipsandvinegar​, @thegay-uillotine​, and @oakleaffic​
Type: Filk Sung By: Team Braincell, and various Voiceteam contributors Fandom: Good Omens Ship: Aziraphale/Crowley Rating: Teen Length: 8:02
It’s Crowley’s adventures sung to the tune of Drunken Sailor. What’s not to love? Alright, so it’s a little all over, but it just adds to the genuineness of it being a folk song. Brace yourself for the “Hail The Great Beasts.”
9. A Mice Day by @doublel27​
Type: Podfic Read By: @sunlightsymphony​ Fandom: Schitt’s Creek Ship: Patrick/David Rating: General Length: 9:32
I don’t know if it’s just that @sunlightsymphony​ has the perfect voice for fluff or what? But something about this keeps me coming back. It’s cute and light and silly and overall, a good listen.
8. Dumbass (With Love) by @anxiousoddish​
Type: Podfic Read By: @mayonnaisetoffees​ Fandom: Team StarKid Ship: Paul Matthews/Emma Perkins Rating: Teen Length: 18:03
I’m not even in this fandom and I’ve listened to this more times than I care to admit. Despite this actually being a somewhat serious fic, @mayonnaisetoffees​ keeps this light and funny all the way through. It carries, even if you aren’t in the fandom.
7. If The Heavens Ever Did Speak by @captaingondolin​
Type: Podfic Read By: @captaingondolin​ Fandom: Shakespeare RPF and Historical RPF Ship: Shakespeare/Marlowe Rating: Teen Length: 12:53
Yes I’ve also listened to this more times than I care to admit. This podfic is singlehandedly dragging me into the Shakespeare/Marlowe ship, and yes, there’s exactly as many dick jokes as you’d expect.
6. How The Thought of You Does Things to Me by @romansuzume​
Type: Podfic Read By: @romansuzume​ Fandom: Marvellous Mrs. Maisel Ship: Lenny Bruce/Miriam "Midge" Maisel Rating: Teen Length: 19:14
This isn’t the ship I think I’d pick from the show, but I’m here for any Mrs. Maisel content. Gingermaggie’s write and read is the balance of levity and gravity that encompasses Mrs. Maisel.
5. Stories That I Used to Know by @omg-elledubs-things​
Type: Filk Sung By: @omg-elledubs-things​ Fandom: Archive of Our Own Ship: None Rating: General Length: 4:03
Okay, this is just still stuck in my head and I feel a little called out. It’s a lot of fun and the recording is great!
4. Bang by @stars-inthe-sky​
Type: Podfic Read By: @liquidlyrium and @shadowravin Fandom: MCU Ship: Natasha/Bucky Rating: General Length: 2:27
Ravin and Liquid Lyrium’s performances of this are so perfect, it feels like more than a podfic. It will have you laughing from start to finish.
3. I AM GROOT by sherlocksmyth on AO3
Type: Podfic? (Read: Abomination) Created By: @mayonnaisetoffees​ and @fishandchipsandvinegar​ Fandom: Guardians of the Galaxy Ship: Just Groot Rating: Explicit (but it’s safe for work, we promise) Length: 11:45
Ah yes, the thing that sent us down the road to madness. This is ridiculous and will make you laugh. It’s an “explicit” Groot fic, but I promise it is safe for work.
It’s what happens when you decide you can make a podfic using only clips from songs and videos of Vin Diesel reading his lines.
2. The Devil’s Cut/The Angel’s Share by @racketghost
Type: Podfic Read By: @liquidlyrium Fandom: Good Omens Ship: Aziraphale/Crowley Rating: Explicit Length: 40:00
Liquid Lyrium put their heart and soul into this and it shows. The read is breathtaking and the pacing is perfect.
1. The Great Miserables Bake Off by @kjack89
Type: Podfic Read By: @oakleaffic, @sammysidle, @christchex, @thegay-uillotine, @jetainia, @fishandchipsandvinegar, @mayonnaisetoffees, @rindle, @sunlightsymphony, @shadowravin, @captaingondolin Fandom: Les Miserables Ship: Enjolras/Grantaire, Combeferre/Courfeyrac, Cosette/Marius Rating: General Length: 52:02
This is I think the biggest multivoice production I’ve ever listened to. It was incredible that we were able to get all of the voices and the script style made it all come together just like an actual episode of Bake Off, complete with dramatic music.
Everyone did an incredible job, but things to listen for: @mayonnaisetoffees and @jetainia as Enjolras and Grantaire played perfectly off of each other despite the fact that they were recording in completely opposite time zones.
@sunlightsymphony nailed Marius’ constant state of worry, and @oakleaffic nailed the perfect balance to all our drama with a well-rounded narration role.
It was one of the first things we all did together but I think it also stands out as maybe our best project. So it gets the #1 slot.
Thanks for Listening!

Fast and Furious 8 or The Fate of the Furious grossed $500 million on its opening weekend making it the most successful launch for the franchise.
Given the popularity of the franchise, the producers have confirmed two more sequels with Fast 9 and Fast 10 scheduled for release on April 19, 2019 and April 2, 2021 release.
Vin Diesel who has been one of the main protagonists of the series will be starring in the forthcoming movies along with Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. The rest of the cast is yet to confirmed however a recently revealed poster suggests that Matt Damon could be introduced to the franchise. We’re not sure what role the lead actor from ‘The Martian’ will play however some say he might replace the character played by the late Paul Walker.
The latest poster also reveals the next hero car with Vin Diesel standing next to it. Here’s what you need to know about the Fast and Furious 9 hero car.
Welcome to the Ford Falcon XA GT RPO83.
The Falcon GT RPO83 was a variation of the XA Falcon built in the 1970s. It was a limited edition model introduced by Ford Australia with a few performance upgrades. Just 250 units of the XA Falcon with the RPO83 package were built from April-August 1973.
Under the hood, the XA Falcon GT RPO83 boasted a 5.7-liter V8 equipped with a Holley 780 carburettor, 2.25 inch exhaust headers and a clutch slave cylinder hydraulic pipe heat shield. The engine produced 334 hp and 380 lb-ft of torque mated with a 4-speed manual transmission.

Pit Stop: Replace Puny Olds 260 V8 with Bigger Olds
QUESTION I have a 1978 Cutlass Supreme with a 260 V8. It was rebuilt a few years back, but I don’t think it was done very well. It has a rod knock now. I don’t know which way to go: rebuild this one again (they want $2,800 to rebuild it), or upgrade to something with a little more get up and go. If I replace it with a used engine, what newer-year Oldsmobile would bolt directly in? What size would work best?
Maurice Merchant Via email
ANSWER There’s no replacement for displacement. Always get the largest engine you can afford. That’s my motto, so coming from a HOT Rod performance perspective, I wouldn’t waste time or money on a stock 260 rebuild when complete Olds 1980–1889 307, 1964–1967 330, 1968–1980 350, and even 1977–1979 403 small-blocks are direct bolt-ins for a 260 (they all have the same external dimensions). Searching online, I see you can get an inexpensive stock rebuilt Olds 350 long-block for $1,695 plus a refundable $400 core-charge from outfits like Rebuilt Crate Engines. A baseline mild 350 performance version goes for $3,299.95.
  If searching the wrecking yard, the most common larger-displacement Olds engines of similar or later vintage to yours would be a 307 or a 350 (be sure it’s an Olds 350 gas engine “VIN-R”—there were scads of Olds diesel 350s made during this period). The 403s were only made for three years, so they’re relatively rare, but you never know, it might be your lucky day.
The numbers or letters on the front of the block near the oil fill tube are one way to ID an Olds. If the large digit following the smaller casting number is a letter, you have a big-block; a large number or number/letter is for a small block. Casting No. 390925, ID E, tells you this block is a 1966–1967 big-block 400. Mondello’s Oldsmobile V8 Technical Reference Manual, Vol. 3 ($26) is full of hard-core data and engine-building tips like this. Norm Brandes
Whether used or rebuilt, Olds experts like Mondello and Dick Miller say you need to pay attention to the following items when swapping Olds motors:
Olds engines are externally balanced. Flexplates were individually balanced at the factory, so try to grab the original flexplate with your new engine. The larger the displacement, the greater the amount of flexplate unbalance, so your original 260 flexplate may cause a slight vibration if used on the larger engines. Many replacement flexplates are universal, meaning not ideally balanced for the individual motor, regardless of displacement.
Mondello’s experts say 260 and 307 harmonic balancers interchange. Ditto for 350 and 403 balancers. But don’t use a 350/403 balancer on a 260/307—or vice versa.
Accessory drives, pulleys, and water-pump snout lengths may vary on different models. If necessary, transfer these items as a complete, matched set, from the old engine to the new engine. Block and head accessory-mount bolt holes never changed.
Depending on the model, you may need to transfer the oil pan and oil-pump pickup.
A 260 intake manifold only fits a 260 because of port-size differences. There are no stock or aftermarket 260 four-barrel intakes. I’ll take it as a given you want to upgrade to a four-barrel carb anyway. Be sure any larger engine includes the stock GM four-barrel intake or (for a performance boost) step up to one of Edelbrock’s Olds offerings. Its Performer Olds 350 (PN 2711, non-EGR; PN 3711, with EGR) fits the 307 (with 5A heads), 330, 350, and 403 engines. The Performer RPM Olds 350 (PN 7111) fits a 330, 350, or 403. Late 307 heads cast “7A” had high-swirl intake ports and require a unique GM Quadrajet intake manifold for which there is no performance aftermarket replacement.
ID Olds cylinder heads by the casting Nos. near the center exhaust ports or on the head’s top surface under the valve covers, plus the ID letter (big-block) or ID number or number and letter (small-block) above the end exhaust port. This head, casting No. 3317, ID 5A, is a conventional (non-high-swirl) 1980–1984 307 casting. It can work on a 260 with bore-notching; valves in heads off larger engines than a 307 won’t clear.
Engines out of 1980s cars have a big-cap HEI “computer distributor” (no vacuum can; seven-pin module), so you may need to retain your existing 1978 conventional HEI distributor.
GM was swapping different division’s engines in this period. ID a “real Olds” V8 by its rear-mount distributor that goes directly into the block (not through the intake manifold), slightly offset to the left-hand (driver) side; an “inverted” fuel pump mounted on the right-hand (passenger) side, with fuel lines that connect to the top of the pump; a vertical oil-filler tube the goes into the block’s front top surface; 5- or 10-bolt valve covers; and a left-hand-mounted starter.
Small-block Olds engines measure 12 inches between the heads at the base of the intake manifold. On a big-block Olds, it’s 14 inches.
Huh, big-block Olds? Getting more ambitious, an Olds big-block (400, 425, or 455) also bolts to your existing engine mounts and brackets. Any big-block would be from 1976-or-earlier; they never came stock in your later chassis. Because the big-blocks are slightly taller and wider, you may need different accessory mounting brackets, and watch for interference with the heater-core/air-conditioning “box” on the passenger side of the firewall.
A big-block Olds V8 like this hot rodded 455 also bolts in place of small-block Olds engine, but they’re slightly taller and wider, so check engine-bay clearances. Big-block Olds engine-swap headers for a GM 1977-and-later A/G-bodied intermediate chassis are available from Mondello and Dick Miller.
Remember that an engine’s cooling needs go up along with power and/or displacement increases. The rest of the drivetrain (trans and rearend) must likewise be able to withstand the extra power.

New Post has been published on http://eonculture.com/fate-furious-beaks-1-billion-dollars/
Fate of the Furious Breaks $1 Billion In International Box Office
Fate of the Furious, the eighth movie in the Fast and Furious franchise has surpassed the $1 billion mark! That’s right, Fate Of the Furious breaks $1 billion dollars! Which is quite phenomenal really for an eight movie.
Immediately following Saturday, April 29th’s gross sales, Universal Studio’s “Fate of the Furious” has in fact gone beyond $1 billion. More than $867 million of the money brought in by the film was made at the international box office, and domestically (in the U.S.) the fast paced action loaded film brought in $192 million.
Fate of the Furious actually had the largest international opening of all time, bringing more than $542 million. $443 million was made internationally, and 98 million was made domestically. The reason for the for the films raging success? Well, besides it being an epic and action packed film, it’s star studded cast draws a lot of attention.
Some of the cast are pictured above, and the full cast including Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris ‘Ludacris’ Bridges, Scott Eastwood and Charlize Theron all had exceptional performances which has surely granted this franchise some of its commercial success. Out of four other Universal Studios movies to become “billionaires” so to speak, Furious 7 is in second with $1.52 billion and just may be passed by Furious 8.
See what others are saying about it on Rotten Tomatoes See what others are saying about it on Metacritic
Furious 8 is the first movie shot in the franchise after the passing of the great Paul Walker, who’s life was cut short in a fatal car crash in 2013 (it seems like it was not so long ago). Furious 7 was a tribute to Paul Walker, while Furious 8 takes on a new life as the series continues onward. Dominic Toretto is manipulated by a cyber terrorist to betray his long time team. In a wild change of events, Furious 8 does not disappoint with it’s typical fast paced action. If you haven’t gone to see it, what are you waiting for? There’s a reson “Fate Of the Furious breaks $1 billion dollars” Get to the theaters!

En los últimos meses, Tareck William Saab, el mal llamado “Defensor del Pueblo”, se ha comportado más como el defensor de Maduro, al ignorar y burlarse de las crecientes violaciones de derechos humanos y la represión que el régimen ha infligido en contra del pueblo venezolano. Si usted se ha preguntado por qué este veterano enchufado del régimen, conocido por ser intelectual del fisiculturismo, se comporta de esta manera, aquí le tenemos la respuesta.
Pues resulta, que Tareck William Saab, al igual que toda la cúpula rojo rojita del Gobierno, se ha hecho multimillonario chupándose los recursos de los venezolanos. Hoy, Guisos Rojos, en exclusiva mundial, te trae cómo Saab se ha enriquecido a través de esquemas de corrupción que ya conocemos y que son una epidemia dentro de la cúpula del Gobierno.
Desde la hermana República Dominicana, un cooperante de Guisos Rojos nos envía esta saga de impunidad y corrupción, que revela por primera vez la lujosa mansión que posee Tareck William Saab en La Romana, esa exclusiva región del país caribeño donde grandes celebridades multimillonarias y mundiales como Julio Iglesias, Marc Anthony, Romeo Santos, gozan en sus lujosas propiedades al sol y playa de Quisqueya. Otras estrellas que visitan con frecuencia las lujosas y paradisíacas playas de La Romana son las Kardashians, Beyonce con su esposo Jay-Z, Will Smith con su familia, Vin Diesel, Rafael Nadal, Michael Jordan y Cristiano Ronaldo, entre otros.
Nuestra cooperante dominicana fue víctima de fraude por parte de Saab y su esposa, Carla Di Martino. Carla además de ser esposa del vanidoso funcionario, es también su asistente en la Defensoría del Pueblo y, ahora sabemos, también su testaferra. La pareja enchufada son dueños de una mansión llamada Casa “EL Valle”, en la Provincia La Romana, la cual compraron a un costo de 3.200.000 dólares.
Así es, el Defensor del Pueblo, con su salario de funcionario público logró comprar una casa por 3 millones 200 mil dólares americanos, en una de las urbanizaciones más exclusiva de Latinoamérica y el mundo. Ustedes hagan la matemática ¿Creen que Tareck William Saab gana lo suficiente como para comprarse lo que le venga en gana, como una casa de esa talla? ¡Claro que no! Es otro enchufado más, desangrando a las arcas de la nación con el visto bueno de Maduro y su cúpula.
Pero dejemos que nuestra cooperante dominicana, a quien mantendremos en el anonimato para garantizar su seguridad física, nos cuente su relato en sus propias palabras:
“A finales del año pasado, la señora Carla Di Martino Hernández, venezolana y militante del gobierno chavista, me propuso una sociedad. Ella quería comprar una propiedad, hacer un negocio aquí [República Dominicana] y tener quien lo administrara y supervisara. Esta propiedad realmente sería del señor Tareck William Saab, pero el mismo, por tener un alto cargo en Venezuela no podría salir en los registros públicos de propiedad de República Dominicana”.
La valiente cooperante continúa su relato…
“Como el mundo entero lo sabe, Di Martino Hernández necesitaba estar en sociedad con un nativo de República Dominicana para poder, no solo comprar la propiedad, sino también para inaugurar su negocio; así que me propuso asociarnos para comprar una casa grande (El Valle) en La Romana y convertirlo en una posada-boutique artística, en donde ella pudiese exponer sus obras de arte también, ya que además de ser miembro del gobierno venezolano, también se dedica a crear esculturas. Así me estafó y me embaucó en ese falso negocio”. 
“Yo acepté, porque me pareció una buena oportunidad de negocio, pero al final fui estafada y engañada por ella y su grupo de asesores legales, encabezados por el señor Sergio Santos Martín, quien sí es dominicano y, la abogada venezolana Carmen Muller, su asesora jurídica. Luego de aceptar, prestarme como socia para que ella pudiese comprar el inmueble y trabajar por meses con el proyecto, con la primera diferencia prácticamente me obligó a que le devolviera el 10% que había recibido”.
Ahora, los pocos defensores que le quedan ya a este régimen lleno de ladrones, estarán exigiendo a todo pulmón “en dónde están las pruebas”. Pues, como siempre hacemos, aquí están. Miren con sus propios ojos el registro de propiedad de la mansión de Tareck William Saab en La Romana. Verán como usa a su esposa, Carla Di Martino Hernández, como testaferra para esconder su posesión de la casa.
Y aquí les compartimos unas fotos exclusivas que nuestro equipo de Guisos Rojos pudo obtener de la mansión de más de 3 millones de dólares que posee Tareck William Saab, el “defensor” del pueblo venezolano.
Las fotos hablan por sí solas. Este desgraciado funcionario, Tareck William Saab, que solo busca proteger al Gobierno de las múltiples violaciones de derechos humanos, para llenar sus bolsillos. O, mejor aún, solo protege a este Gobierno corrupto violador de derechos humanos, para poder proteger sus propios lujosos y personales intereses a costa de, literalmente, la vida de los venezolanos. En realidad, es solo el defensor de sí mismo, más que del pueblo.
Así, la próxima vez que estés en una cola buscando alimentos o necesitando de alguna medicina que no consigues, piensa como nuestro “defensor” del pueblo defiende la corrupción y no a su gente, porque en última instancia es solo defender sus intereses. La próxima vez que estés pasando hambre o veas cómo matan y torturan a la gente en las protestas, recuerda que él seguro está viviendo una vida divina, en las paradisíacas playas de La Romana, con los reales del pueblo.

For our first automotive feature on Spekture, we kick it off with our “Best of Show” winner back from our first Spekture Car Show in 2015. Yes, it’s been sitting on the digital shelf for some time now waiting for the right time to be released. This ride isn’t a stranger either; it’s made it appearance a few times on the website before in some event coverage articles as well as some of our Houston Streets events.  You might even recognize this ride from the 2014 SEMA Show. Wherever you made spot this FR-S, once thing for certain: It’s usually breaking necks getting the attention and taking home the awards.
We will be focusing on modified rides around the world to feature on the site, as well as unique and rare ones that grab our attention. Your ride could very well be the next one, we are always one the look out for our next feature.
Now on to our first feature with Kendall White and his Scion FR-S.

Vehicle: 2013 Scion FR-S Owner: Kendall White Engine: 2.0L Boxer FA20 Horse Power: 310 Social : Facebook & Instagram
[/wc_box]
There have been a few vehicles that enthusiasts remember over the years, and the Toyota 86 is one of those, particularly in the drifting realm of the world. I wanted one for a while, even more so after watching Initial D with Takumi conquering the underground racing scene in his AE86. Then the rumors started that a new incarnation of the famous “Hachi-Roku” would be coming. That definitely started a firestorm of discussion on the new 86. I followed the rumors, concepts, and changes the 86 would go through before finally becoming the Scion FR-S here in the States.
I was very interested in this model, but I wasn’t the only one, as Kendall White was keenly interested and figured this would be a perfect opportunity to shine with a new platform (and with his lofty goal to do the impossible as quickly as possible!) Making a risky decision, he decided to put money down and pre-order his FR-S even before test driving it. He had that much faith in his decision this would be this would be the car for him.
[wc_testimonial by=”- Kendall” position=”right”]“I even put money down before seeing or even driving it. Crazy huh? I knew it was a very risky decision at the time, but I felt that it was the right thing to do.”[/wc_testimonial]
In the past, Kendall has built a few other cars, so he wasn’t completely new to the game. His previous builds includes his 1994 Pontiac Firebird, 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse, 81 Chevy Short Bed, and his 2004 Ford Mustang. He has been working on vehicles since high school, and was open to work on anything he could get his hands on. He did have some help, with big inspiration from his father. Throughout Kendall’s childhood, he would listen to stories about his father’s hot rod days and how he used to build vehicles with his father. From the first time Kendall laid eyes on vehicles, he has been addicted and a tradition was started.
Kendall spent years working together and learning what he could from his father. He’s very thankful for his time with him, and that he was willing to pass down his knowledge and experiences to carry with him for the rest of his life; hopefully passing down these experiences with the next generation. Family means a lot to Kendall.
Like many of us, the Fast and the Furious franchise was a big influence with Paul Walker and Vin Diesel becoming idols. Kendall was no different. He remembers first seeing the movie which opened a new outlook for him. One main focus point that stuck with Kendall from the movies was that they were about family and being there for your loved ones. A few quotes stuck with him as well which inspires his passion for building his ride: “Go big or go home,”  “Ask any racer, any real racer. It don’t matter if you win by an inch or a mile. Winning’s winning.”
In the beginning, his plans for the FR-S was to build a track car. As you can tell, things radically changed throughout the progression of his build. After realizing how he much would be spending, it would be best to have something to show. With that, the plans changed to build a unique show car and keep it as perfect as possible. All sorts of ideas started flowing in, and he quickly knew what he needed to do to get started.
For most of us, when building a ride, the ride tends to follow your own personal style. Kendall’s style consist of clean body lines and uniqueness, something that no one else has. Even with the popularity of the 86, his still stands out from the crowd.
It wasn’t as easy as it sounds, many changes happened throughout the build process. There were several times where he found himself ordering parts to find them later at a better deal or completely changing his mind. At some points, especially with back to back shows, Kendall found himself spending many sleepless nights working on his prized FR-S. Overall, it has gone through 3 bumpers with road debris and several fender liners from being low. Many of us know that Texas roads aren’t very low friendly. This brings up one of his favorite parts of the build, the air ride system. Even with that, some precautions still must be taken.
Detailing is another very important aspect of the build. He found it as a way to express his creativity and make it his own. We can all notice this, which has brought Kendall one of his biggest payoffs: the recognition he receives everywhere he goes. He’s frequently asked about his story and how he got where he’s at today, his reply is always “hard work and dedication.”
Kendall is a firm believer in you get what you pay for. With that, he knew he wanted real carbon fiber products instead of hydro dipping or vinyl wrapping parts in his ride. This brings back the quote “go big or go home.” Kendall has run into a lot of people who assume it’s just a vinyl wrap. Taking a closer look, there’s no doubt you can spot the difference with the sleek glossy look real carbon fiber has. It took a lot of time, but at the end of the day Kendall is happy and wouldn’t have his ride any other way.
[wc_testimonial  by=”- Kendall” position=”right”]“Every Build has its problems, it takes a certain type of person to work through those problems, but always remember if you try your hardest and give it all you you’ve got then nothing can stand in the way to success.”[/wc_testimonial]
