select my_thoughts from starting_the_db_design_quiz;
As regular readers will know, last month saw the start of the Database Design Quiz on the PL/SQL Challenge. I thought I'd share some of the background on how this came about and my thoughts and feelings on how it's going, so here goes…
I've been player of PL/SQL quiz for a few years now. Writing code is only a small part of my current day job however – as a "Data Architect" more of my time is spent designing data structures (though I still get called on to help coding from time to time!). With this in mind, I'd started drafting up some questions for the challenge that were more related to my work. These didn't seem to fit with the PL/SQL quizzes though. While there's clearly some cross-over, it didn't feel quite to have these in the PL/SQL or SQL quizzes.
So one night the summer while trying to get my daughter to sleep, I had a crazy idea – wouldn't it be great to have a whole new type of quiz on the PL/SQL Challenge? It could be based around the theme of database design: creating and normalizing data structures and then the physical implementation of these. With this in mind, I drafted up some questions and sent them over to Steven Feuerstein.
Steven really liked the idea, but suggested that we gather feedback from players before going ahead with it. So we put together a post for the PL/SQL Challenge blog including some sample questions. I was amazed by the positive reception it received – clearly this was something many people felt was worth doing.
With this support clearly we needed to go ahead so I set about writing quizzes. I'd been thinking about possible questions for a while, so I had several ideas lined up and submitting questions has been (relatively) easy so far. I suspect generating new ideas will get harder in time though – I'm really impressed that Steven and Kim have been coming up with new questions for as long as they have!
In addition to writing the questions, I needed to find some people to help review them to ensure they're up to scratch – it's amazing how easily I'll manage to miss a bracket or use slighlty confusing language.
I instantly thought of an old colleague of mine, Andy Wilson, who quickly agreed to help :) I also feel privileged that Kent Graziano – an Oracle ACE and published author on Data Warehouse modelling – agreed to help review questions. They have both provided some excellent feedback on the questions so far. I'm sure the improvements they've suggested are part of the reason the quizzes are getting good scores in post-quiz surveys. They've tidied up the language and pointed out some flaws in the questions.
With Kent and Andy on the job and a batch of quizzes ready, we settled on a launch date of 5th October to coincide with the start of a new quarter in the PL/SQL & SQL quizzes. As the launch date got closer got more excited and nervous. Would it all work out well? Would people play? Being based in the UK, the new quiz would start at midnight my time. I'd love to say I stayed up to see it start, but having a daugher under 1 is taking its toll and I can barely stay up past 9pm these days ;) I was up first thing on the 5th however (only partly becuase Izzy was already awake!), checking that the quiz was working correctly. Other than a slight typo in the question, it was a relief to see it live and functioning as expected.
So we're now a month into the quiz and I feel like it's going well – there's only been one major disagreement so far and around 400 players per quiz, which is great. In all I'm happy with the way it's going at the moment and feel really honoured that so many people have taken part. Hopefully this will continue you to grow – but for that part I'll need help from you: by playing, adding your feedback to quizzes and spreading the word about this quiz we can help grow the community (including the PL/SQL, SQL and Logic quizzes too).
For those of you who've been taking part in the DB design quiz, I'd love to hear how you think it's going. Are the questions interesting and varied enough? Are they too easy/hard? What have we not covered (yet) that you think we should? Please share your thoughts in the comments!

GONZALES - Police asked for the public's help Monday identifying a woman who was caught on camera stealing a purse from a Gonzales hospital.
Gonzales Police said the victim contacted them after her wallet was stolen from an office in St. Elizabeth Hospital's Medical Plaza on June 16. Surveillance camera footage showed a suspicious woman entering several of the plaza offices on the afternoon the crime was committed, according to investigators.
About 40 minutes after the wallet was stolen the victim's credit card was used at a department store in Port Allen to purchase prepaid credit cards in the amount of $800. The prepaid cards were used about an hour later at a store in New Roads to purchase two more prepaid cards.
The woman accused of the theft has a large tattoo of a flower on her upper left arm and a mark in a crescent shape on her upper chest. She is believed to be driving a blue extended cab Chevy truck.
Anyone who recognizes the woman is urged to contact the Gonzales Police Department at (225) 647-9572.

The chief executive at SCE Europe insists the company has not abandoned its stereoscopic 3D gaming initiatives, despite the technology's absence at Sony's E3 press event this week.
During the company's E3 conference on Monday there was no mention of how the 3D PlayStation monitor announced at last year's show has fared at retail, and nor were special glasses offered to attendees to watch the latest PS3 gameplay demonstrations in 3D.
But in an interview published earlier today, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe CEO Jim Ryan told CVG the company isn't marginalising 3D.
"I just think that it's something that's now moving into the mature phase," he said. "You only have so much time at these things, and there was an attempt at yesterday's conference to make it shorter - which I thought was excellent.
"3D was the new thing two years ago, it's not the new thing anymore - it's just part of the bedrock of content development and publishing," he added.
Asked if major first party games will still be supporting 3D as standard, Ryan said: "Where appropriate, yes. Not where it doesn't make sense, but where appropriate - absolutely."
In the same interview, Ryan said Sony is "very relaxed and confident about the prospects for Vita this year and beyond" due to a range of upcoming "killer content".

.- The California Catholic Conference, the public policy arm of the state's bishops, is backing an effort that would remove sexual orientation from an anti-discrimination provision, the California Catholic Daily reports.
The provision has been accused of promoting a bias in favor of "alternative lifestyles."
Assembly Bill 2085 would undo Senate Bill 777, signed into law earlier this year by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The new bill, proposed by Diamond Bar Assemblyman Bob Huff, is the latest attempt to revoke the law. Opponents tried unsuccessfully to force a statewide referendum on the issue, and are planning to make the issue an initiative on the November ballot.
The present law forbids discrimination on the basis of protected classes, including sexual orientation, in any public school or educational program that receives state funding. The law prohibits any school from teaching information or offering any program that discriminates against protected classes or "reflects adversely" on them.
A news release from Assemblyman Huff's office said that SB 777 "added a new definition to sexuality in the Education Code to include heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual and transgender lifestyles."
"Opponents of SB 777 believe that by expanding the definition of sexuality and increasing prohibitions against bias, a reverse-bias in favor of alternative lifestyles is actually created," the press release continued.
The bishops' conference is supporting another law proposed by Huff, Assembly Bill 2086. The bill would require school districts to send to parents at the beginning of every school year a letter notifying them that "sexual orientation education" will be taught. The bill would require the letter to provide clear instructions to parents informing them how to remove their children from such classes.
Both bills are scheduled for a hearing before the Assembly Education Committee on April 2.

Every private, corporate, nonprofit or public company needs a vision to guide it, so pieces of the future can start coming together.
So says Ken Hein of Valley-based Hein Sight, the company hired by the Gilbert Unified School District to help it create a strategic plan for the future.
With it, the district can focus on education and competing in the growing market for students, Hein told the Tribune this week.
"From my prospective, echoed by people who have taken the time to do strategic planning, it's more an investment than an expense," Hein said.
The district and Hein have a $90,000, one-year contract, plus $10,000 for expenses. Hein said he plans to bring in national experts, including one who spent four years as director of strategic planning for the school district in Atlanta. There is an optional one-year extension.
The process starts Thursday when the core committee - members of the district's staff, the Gilbert business community, and school constituents - gather for an introduction of what they've agreed to take on over the next 12 months. The public is invited to watch the meetings. Public comment will not be during this meeting, but at various times during the process, Hein said.
The 11-member core group includes Superintendent Dave Allison. Other members are: Sharon Orr, an administrative assistant in the district; Barb Dwyer, president of the district's Volunteer Network and a substitute teacher; board member E.J. Anderson; parent Jason Barney; Patterson Elementary School principal Nonda Chomokos; Diane Drazinski, Gilbert Education Association president; Maria Hesse, vice provost at Arizona State University; former board member and business owner Adelaida Severson; Gilbert Chamber of Commerce CEO and President Kathy Tilque; and one unfilled position.
Together, they will examine data being gathered about student enrollment, growth patterns in the district and more. As specific areas come up that may need deeper analysis, Hein said there will be other groups formed from the community to look at those.
The core group will create a plan that will ultimately have to be adopted by the governing board, he said.
Gilbert Unified, like many other districts in the state, is at a crossroads, Hein said. The district is expecting its first student-loss next school year, with 300 fewer students projected. It's also expecting as much as a $4 million budget loss from the state.
Dwyer said she is looking forward to creating a plan to help the district base future decisions.
"So instead of always being in crisis management, you have a clear direction, so when the budget issues come up that come up every year, you're going to make a decision based upon where you want to go," she said.
Neighboring Mesa Unified School District is in the middle of its strategic planning process, started two years ago.
The district hired Partnership for Excellence Inc. to facilitate process, with a potential five-year contract. The first year the district paid $121,321. The second year, the district paid $63,158. The current-year contract is for $63,158.

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
Your surround mixes might sound great in your 5.1 equipped studio, but with all the flexibility of Pro Tools, you might need to work on them when a six channel speaker setup just isn't possible. Downmixing is the concept of folding down your 5.1 mixes into less channels. In this movie we'll explore how to take a 6-channel surround mix and downmix it to monitor and stereo using the Neyrinck surround tool that come with a complete production toolkit. The mix of this project has a few surround mix moves going on in it. If you wanted to listen in two channel stereo like we are now, we would miss some of the surround mix moves that are happening.
For example, in this crash scene we've got one of the crash sounds we've enhanced with surround reverb. Right now we are just listening to stereo and if I play it back, we miss it. Let me solo the track and let's hear it. (Crash!) So all we hear is just the left/right component, but I'm not hearing any reverb and surround. Of course~ Because we don't have surround speakers set up and we're just listening to it and left/right stereo, but with downmixing we can fold our 5.1 mix into the stereo mix.
So we can hear everything even over just our left and right speakers or headphones. So here's how you downmix. On the master fader we're going to insert a plug-in. It's under of the Sound field tab and it's called the Sound Code Stereo and this pops open the tool. It's a pretty simple tool here. Again, it's doing the downmix algorithm inside. Basically, you have some controls over your Left, Right, your Center, your Left Surround, and Right Surround, and your LFE. There are a couple of defaults in here that you can bring up.
The Dolby Digital Default, and that's just going to encode like Dolby Digital would as if it was downmixing to surround. But again this is not encoding. This is just making it so that we can monitor through our stereo headphones. So you can set these however it seems appropriate for your setup. You wanted to hear the LFE you can bring that in. You could make the Center and Left Surround channels even. We will leave it as this for now and let's take a listen. So now if I play this back, we should be able to hear that reverb that we weren't hearing before, because it's in the surround speakers.
So that's being downmixed. So in that track we hear just that effect and here we go. (Crash!) So you heard the reverb and that was only in the surround channels, but because we're downmixing the downmixer did its job and we're hearing it. There is also a number of ways to deliver a multi-channel mix like a 5.1 mix as a stereo pair, for broadcast or DVD creation. This is called encoding the mix from 5.1 to stereo. Then the mix can be decoded on a broadcast end.
This Neyrinck tool doesn't do encoding and decoding, but they do make one that does. It's called the Stereo Tool LtRt and here's the slide of it. And it looks very similar, but this tool actually does the encoding as a real time or AudioSuite plug-in. We can encode a 5.1 mix using Dolby 2 technology. Dolby 2 is a way of encoding a 6- channel surround mix into stereo. So it can be later re-up converted back to six channels on the broadcast end. Also, on the ultra high-end some broadcasters and theatrical film houses require audio to be encoded as Dolby E. Neyrinck also sells and rents this service is as a plug-in for Pro Tools.
So down mixing is another one of those technical considerations that exists kind of outside your creative choices for a mix. But that said, any good engineer mixing in surround has to be aware of these concepts and delivery specifications. Otherwise, all those creative efforts that you worked on to make your slamming surround mix happen won't be heard by the masses.

Good fit, but not ideal on a wetter day...
These are the first pair of under/park gloves I've owned but they fit well and stay warm most of the time. On a wetter day (if it's sleeting or whatever) the leather texture on the palm tends to lock up and freeze a bit. Nothing more hand warmth doesn't fix, but still. They are durable though (so far) and feel pretty solid, plus I dig the colors a lot. A pretty good (but not excellente) glove.

Transformed Wah Lok offers new items on menu
Published on Dec 15, 2012 3:30 PM
Wah Lok, which opened in 1988 at Carlton Hotel, is known for its excellent dimsum and classic Cantonese cooking.
It reopened last month after a major renovation and now boasts a more contemporary and luxurious look with marble and brass finishes, as well as an expansive grand entrance. Flanking the entrance walkway are private rooms, including one with a huge table that seats 20 persons.
Some new items on the menu are also reason to check out the new Wah Lok.
Among these is an excellent baked custard bun that is topped with a buttery crumble. And there is an interesting appetiser of deep-fried century egg wrapped with minced shrimp that should not be missed either.

12:00-12:30 City Hall Street Level
Heavy lyricists originally from Pueblo, Colorado, this Denver-based hip-hop duo is 2010's version of the Fat Boyz. Having lived past lives in heavy-metal bands, 1984 is composed of freestyle champ MarkyBias and Big J. Beats, an amazing producer/digger/drummer. The two, who rock shows and make live beats with laptops, buttons and control pads, are not typical rappers. They don't look like rappers and they don't act like rappers, but they rap better than most rappers.
3:00-3:30 City Hall Amphitheatre
BigWheel Electrosoul is a hip-hop band consisting of musicians and music producers. The trio's instrumentation is Dameion Hines (aka DJ Check One) on drums, Charlie Mertens on bass and Qknox on keyboards. The sound is half live and half pre-produced in a spinning-wheel fashion of live beatmaking. Each musician combines beats with the live show, creating fluid trademark sounds that move the instruments together and keep the crowd dancing.
6:00-6:30 City Hall Amphitheatre
BLKHRTS is not a rap group, it's a religion. Sex, drugs, violence, money and death are the only things that seem to matter now — or ever, really. At first, King F.O.E., Yonnas Abraham and Karma the Voice were the only real members, but Chez Strong and Hogans Daniel recently converted. We're working on the newest book of our bible: It's called JZBL JNKNS, and it should come out October 31, 2012. How fitting. AMEN.
5:15-5:45 Bannock Street Garage
The year 2012 marks a decade in the punk game for Boldtype, and the boys couldn't be more stoked about the state of affairs of punk rock in Denver. The newest addition to this five-man drinking contest, Chris Tafoya (of Sound Collapse and Dropskots fame), has brought new energy and smellier socks to the group as it stretches its hamstrings and prepares to release its fifth studio album later this year. The band is fresh off its second tour with no-nonsense punkers Guttermouth and kicked off the summer playing with the legendary Pennywise. Partnered with Ronin Press Records, Boldtype is ready to shred in a garage near you.
5:15-5:45 Stoney's
Bop Skizzum is an eight-piece funk/alternative/rock band with live horns and a hip-hop twist. Music has the power to get people dancing, and Bop Skizzum likes to take full advantage of that fact. Gathering inspiration from every corner of the record store, the band meshes its alternative pop-rock vibe with groove-based funk and dance-laden hip-hop influences, creating an invigorating blend of unique instrumentation and phenomenal vocals to complete its sound. The band is recording its new album this summer at Silo Sound; look for the new release this fall, and prepare yourself to get Bop'd by Skizzum!
4:00-4:50 Vinyl Rooftop
Boyhollow is the founder and resident DJ of Lipgloss — the longest-running indie dance party in Denver and second-longest in the country — which recently relocated to Beauty Bar Denver. Lipgloss has won numerous Best Club Night awards from Westword and other press, and Boyhollow is known for his versatility in mixing eclectic, multi-genre sets with an indie flavor. Boyhollow regularly plays other dance parties across the country and has appeared at many festivals, including WMC, SXSW, CMJ and the Sundance Film Festival. This is Boyhollow's eleventh nomination for Best DJ.
12:45-1:15 City Hall Amphitheatre
Broken Tongues is an innovative, alternative hip-hop collective from Denver, Colorado, that has a singular, live-instrumental sound that at times can be funky or thrashy and at others soulful and refined. The result is a genre-bending alchemy that conjures the likes of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Stevie Wonder and Atmosphere. Indeed, the genre moniker "hip-hop" is ill-equipped to fully describe what BT does, an aural amalgamation of hip-hop, progressive rock, jazz and livetronica. The band's latest, Crooked Skyline (available now at BrokenTongues.com), is proof of the outfit's ability to harmonize its varied talents and influences into one artistic statement.
6:45-7:15 Stoney's
Carbon Choir put its kettle on the burner in 2007 and in a few short years reached a boiling point in the Denver music scene, turning heads with its lush, emotive, haunting and explosive brand of indie-alt-rock. Fans are treated to a wide range of color and mood at its "achingly beautiful" live shows. At times subtle and melancholy, at others explosive and anthemic, Carbon Choir's music is a full embodiment of the human experience. The group's new disc, Sakhalin, is "richly arranged, expertly performed and beautifully recorded, with a solid soul of well-crafted songs and thoughtful lyrics." (Denver Post, 2012).

Although most chefs have their own unique style of peeling, dicing, and julienning veggies, they all have one thing in common: they each require precise, sharp knives. At Excalibur Cutlery and Gifts, the staff ensures that tools remain as close to their factory condition as possible. During sharpening services, a water-cooled belt system and buffing wheels restore a piercing blade while removing a minimal amount of steel. They can sharpen kitchen, pocket, and hunting knives, as well as dull scissors and razors.
The shop also stocks premium models of nearly every edge they sharpen. The cutlery department stocks German-made Wusthof and Henckels, Swiss-made Forschner, and Oregon-grown Kershaw knives. Ideal for camping trips, pocket knives come in both blade and multitool varieties. More genteel wares include manicure sets and old-fashioned shaving kits. Excalibur also boasts a collection of swords for the collector or CEO whose business suit needs extra panache.
After their daughter, Hayden, was stillborn at 32 weeks of gestation in 2010, Rebekka and Randy Hauskin's hospital bills served as a painful reminder of their loss. As a result, they decided that they wanted to help other families dealing with this type of tragedy, and in memory of their daughter, created the Oregon-based nonprofit Hayden's Helping Hands. The foundation helps Oregonians after the birth of a stillborn baby by paying for a portion or all of their hospital delivery expenses, so they can focus on healing rather than financial burdens. The amount of financial assistance is determined by the foundation on a case-by-case basis, and all payments are made directly to the medical facility.

Filmation version.
Filmation Barbarian look (similar to He-Man)
New Adventures He-Man repaint look
I do not want either
I think that this is the point. Leave it to Mattel to get the most out of old parts....
It's probably safe to say that we will see this NA version of Dare/He-Ro sooner than later. I mean, all the parts are already there..... just needs new paint apps...
My vote: I do not want either.
**Staunch FILMation lover!!! **** MUST have a New Adventures Subscription!!!**
MOTUC NEEDS more TROLLANS !!!
Filmation version.
I love an all inclusive canon!
I don't mind either way really but I voted NA version. As that's how he appeared in the comic I think it's safe to assume that's the figure we are getting.
Only interested in a Gray figure, featured on Eldor's cardart.
Adultcollector.org :: New Adventures of He-Man :: MOTU Giants :: Photos :: Capes :: Case Art :: Comics
Neither, please.
To be honest, both looks are really lazy, uninspired rehashes of He-Man himself, so what's the point? It's inexcusable, especially when every vintage He-Man variant is more visually striking. A major shift in the storyline to promote the "next generation" cannot afford to offer lacklustre concepts and ideas. As it is new and unfamiliar, it's essential to have a wow factor, and that is sorely lacking in this case. Overall I'm interested in exploring the Son of He-Man era, but Dare/He-Ro II really needs a unique look that references his famous dad in a much more subtle way. Same goes for Skeleteen. Let's face it - the SOH character designs are weak. It would have potential to be great if the 4H were given free reign...
Last edited by Durendal; March 22, 2014 at 05:51pm.
Neither, please! If we are going to base an entirely new era on one character, that character needs to be unique. Dressing him up in Dad's armor is just insulting. TRY HARDER. Give him a new look. IF ANYTHING, give him armor that is reminiscent of the Preternian He-Ro, like the chest plate.
But, seriously...If he is to be the central character, HE HAS TO HAVE HIS OWN LOOK AND IDENTITY. The NA look was already used...in NA!!! It's been done! The Filmation look is far too barbarian-looking for how far forward we've gone into the future, with Primus technology, etc., and honestly just looks way to much like Filmation He-Man (sorry, but it does).
Give the poor guy his own look. The same goes for his blue cousin.
- - - Updated - - -
OMG. You've read my mind.
Here's something to consider: Leading up to Dare's era, the UNO has lain waste to Trolla. Dare is going to have to come up against the biggest enemy of the beings who created the Power Sword in the first place. Seems that the remaining Trollans might want to dig deep, as deep as possible, and recall the purest, most ancient power of the gods that forged the sword in the first place...giving it a super charge and giving Dare an empowered form that resembles perhaps the very first wielder of the sword, or the armor of the gods from which the Power came.
NOT Daddy's space suit.

I agree, He should have his own unique look. at the very least a new armor piece, and new evolved powersword. as well as being without a dought HE mans son.and it is the future right so im kinda leaning towards NA. just because we need a more more futureistic SOH. as well some of these new charectors, to be sort of [DE GOOFAFIDE] in a sence. Major Headers powers, are a result of a similar spell that was used to create Two Bad. making his disembodied head nie indesructable.
that NETTA character, fine well need two forms of her one normaly proportioned and her larger powered up form. but like I said use a much less goofy looking apperence or these great ideas may fall flat.I implore MATTEL please do not go with the overly Gooffy looking charectors just to try to appeal to a younger audience.I hope we dont go from a adult collectors line to a more kiddish one. some of the other charectors, I might be able to stomach. TRI Beast, Hans hand holder,Bubblor,the big eye guy look like they could be very awesome figs. it would be nice if we could vote and sort of tweak the appearance, of many of these SOH charectors. that we may or may not get anyways if enuff subs aren't sold.
also even if we endure and suport this line thro 2016. despite many of these new concepts, that some of us may or may not want. and stay MOC,or be sold may even be killed off, in or own mythos.MATTEL will create the demand, for the new Castle Grayskull looking Temple of power.and Lady Slither Castle that we see in the new mini comic. witch resides in Trolla, along with the new SOH era? I just hope also, that there is some form of continuity. in the whole story line, and much care is taken to give us a solid continuity. in the time line, even if there is some time travelling going on?so having said all that I relunctantly,vote NA.
The only He-Ro (and for that matter Son of He-Man) stuff I want are from the Filmation concepts.
The "Filmation"/cartoon version get my vote. Both versions may be "rip offs" of He-man, but that cartoon version still looks a bit more unique. The comic version literally looks like NA He-Man with brown hair and silver armor. The 'toon version is also what we've seen and known for several years now. This other version kind of came out of nowhere in the comic (I don't recall any previously visual showing of that incarnation of him).
Though technically from what I recall, wasn't the show, had it actually proceeded forward, going to be done by DIC? The cartoon bible is from after Filmation had shut down, and I thought I recalled reading that back when it was revealed (not that this really matters for the purposes of this poll... just a clarification on the 'origins' of this concept of He-Ro).
Leela: "What's the secret of time travel doing on Fry's ass?"
Fry: "It was bound to be somewhere!"
Don't waste one of the precious remaining slots on a fig that people could easily make a custom of themselves
MOTUC most wanted: Skelcons, Satma, Lord Masque, Vultak, Great Black Wizard, Slime Pit Bone Warrior, Horde Wraith, Red Knight, Beast Lord, Illumina, Catra Cat Form, Evil Seed 200X, Old Man Marzo 200X, Prahvus, King Miro, Hunga the Harpy, Skeletor's Robot Knights, Lady Slither, Lady Valtira
Now that I think about it, the biggest conflict between the two designs are the legs, since the mini-comic version is wearing full length blue pants and the cartoon version isn't.
Both looks can otherwise be accomplished with swappable part options. He could come with the cartoon inspired chest harness and the recolored NA He-Man armor. Then they could give him two heads... one based on the comic look (basically an NA He-Man head with brown hair), and then a newly sculpted head based more literally on the cartoon look. Accessory wise this is on par with what NA He-man came with (two heads and a hardness and the larger armor).
I'm not sure how to resolve the legs issue though. Maybe have some kind of snap on blue armor that can go over his legs. Or just use the NA He-Man body if one want to give him blue pants.

I like Filmation, but if ToyGuru's REALLY serious about including the Son of He-Man era in MOTUC, he'd BETTER put some effort into giving him a new design. Hell, make Dare look like a Knight. Or a pirate, ala Sea Hawk. Why not? We've seen barbarians and space-men, so I'm pretty sure MOTUC could use some more Pirate characters.
I want the Filmation barbarian look. And his lion steed is awesome re-use of Battle Lion's sculpt!

Star Trek: Enterprise episode | |
Jonathan Archer speaks to a dying Trip Tucker while Phlox tries to save his life. The character's death was considered by critics and actor Connor Trinneer to be forced and unnecessary.

Original air date | May 13, 2005 |
Guest actors | |
"These Are the Voyages..." is the series finale of the UPN American science fiction television show Star Trek: Enterprise. The 22nd episode of the fourth season and the 98th of the series overall, it first aired on May 13, 2005, in the United States. The story takes place concurrently with the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Pegasus", set in the year 2370, in which Commander William Riker grapples with making a difficult admission to his commanding officer about a cover-up. Riker visits the holodeck and turns to the events of the 22nd century for guidance, where the crew of Star Trek: Enterprise travels home to Earth for the signing of the Articles of Federation and formation of the United Federation of Planets.
After a strong premiere, Enterprise had grappled with declining ratings throughout its run. By the fourth season, fewer than three million viewers tuned in each week despite what some fans and critics considered an increase in episode quality. After selling the syndication rights, UPN and Paramount announced in February 2005 that the fourth season would be the show's last. Series creators Rick Berman and Brannon Braga, who co-wrote the episode, conceived "These Are the Voyages..." as a valentine to Star Trek fans. The episode features guest stars Jonathan Frakes, Marina Sirtis, and Jeffrey Combs, as well as a vocal cameo from Brent Spiner. With no new Star Trek episodes in the fall of 2005, the 2005–2006 season was the first year without a first-run Star Trek in 18 years.
Reaction to "These Are the Voyages..." was negative. Critics and cast alike believed The Next Generation frame robbed the characters and their fans of closure, and that the death of Trip Tucker felt forced and unnecessary. The final episode attracted 3.8 million viewers, the highest number since the previous season. Despite the cancellation, Paramount hoped to revive the series, and Berman began work on a possible new Star Trek film, which was ultimately rejected in favor of the J. J. Abrams-directed Star Trek.
"These Are the Voyages..." is a frame story. The 22nd century events of the Star Trek: Enterprise are shown through a holodeck re-creation during the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Pegasus". In the 24th century, Commander William Riker observes a recreation of the events surrounding the formation of the United Federation of Planets, hoping the events of the past will help him make some important decisions.[1] Chronologically, the 22nd century events of "These Are the Voyages..." take place six years after the previous episode, "Terra Prime".
In 2161, the starship Enterprise and its crew return to Earth on the eve of the signing of the Federation charter. After ten years of service, the Enterprise is due to be decommissioned. Captain Jonathan Archer frets over the speech he will give to the assembled delegates. The Enterprise is contacted by Shran, an Andorian whom Archer had believed dead. Shran's daughter has been kidnapped by shady business partners, and Shran asks for Archer's help in rescuing her. Archer decides to assist Shran, despite T'Pol's warning that they may be late returning for the signing.[1]
While the Enterprise crew surprises Shran's enemies and brings his daughter safely to the ship, the business associates track and board the Enterprise on the return trip. To save Archer's life, engineer Trip Tucker offers to help the intruders but instead overloads two conduits. The result is an explosion that allows the Enterprise to escape but mortally wounds Tucker. Archer is troubled that he must write a speech about how worthwhile their explorations have been, despite his friend's death, but T'Pol assures him that Tucker would have considered it worthwhile. On Earth, Archer enters a grand hall to give his speech as Riker ends the simulation, now sure of what course he should take.[1] The final shot is a montage of the ships named Enterprise as Captains Picard, Kirk, and Archer recite the "Where no man has gone before" monologue.
Background and cancellation[edit]
"Broken Bow", Enterprise 's 2001 premiere episode, attracted 12.5 million viewers in its first broadcast,[2] but ratings quickly dropped to a low of 5.9 million viewers. Enterprise was threatened with cancellation by the third season.[3] The show survived by slashing its budget amid broadcaster UPN's schedule revamp.[4] The show was moved to Fridays in 2004, while the rest of UPN's programming became more female-friendly, in part due to the success of America's Next Top Model. The third season introduced a season-long story arc, to some of the best reviews of the entire series.[3] In the fourth season, Manny Coto became executive producer after writing and co-producing the show since 2003. While Coto's episodes were hailed by critics and fans as equaling the quality of previous Star Trek television series,[2] the average viewership dropped to 2.9 million,[4] with a series-low showing of 2.5 million in January 2005.[5]
On February 3, 2005, UPN and Paramount announced that the fourth season of the show would be its last.[6] The network waited until the series had been sold to syndication before making the announcement.[4] The cancellation marked the first time new Star Trek episodes would not appear on television in 18 years, since Star Trek: The Next Generation premiered.[5] The fourth season continued production so that Paramount could sell an attractive 98 episodes to syndicates.[4]
Actress Jolene Blalock (T'Pol) criticized the early stories as boring and lacking intriguing content. She felt that early Enterprise scripts ignored basic tenets of Star Trek chronology, and offered "revealing costumes instead of character development". UPN executives stated that the male-oriented episodes of Enterprise did not mesh with the viewership of its other top shows, such as Top Model and Veronica Mars.[2] Brannon Braga suggested that the reason for the cancellation was viewer fatigue, noting that "after 18 years and 624 hours of Star Trek, the audience began to have a little bit of overkill."[7] Fans, meanwhile, criticized Berman and Braga for ignoring Star Trek canon and refusing to fix their shows. Michael Hinman, news coordinator for SyFy Portal, stated that in addition to the oversaturation of Star Trek, there "also is an oversaturation of Braga and Berman. [...] They couldn't sit back and say, 'You know, we just can't keep this fresh.' No, it was more about their stupid egos, and their nonsensical 'Even if it's broke, don't fix it' attitude."[8] Braga defended the series, noting that The Next Generation faced little competition from other science fiction shows, while Enterprise had to contend with a plethora of shows such as Battlestar Galactica.
"These Are the Voyages..." was written by Braga and Berman, the pair's only script of the fourth season. Enterprise writer Mike Sussman told TrekNation in May 2005 that Braga had considered the idea of an episode crossover featuring characters from other Star Trek series prior to the finale. Sussman's original idea for the episode was to have The Doctor of Star Trek: Voyager treating an ill patient who may or may not have been Archer trapped in the future. Due to the subject matter, Sussman said his version would not have been suitable for the final episode.[10] Berman said that the episode had always been intended as the season finale regardless of cancellation, and that Trip would still have been killed if the show was to continue.[11] In other interviews Berman said that if the show had been renewed for a fifth season, there would likely have been changes made to the episode.[12]
Allan Kroeker directed the episode, his third series finale following Star Trek: Deep Space Nine 's "What You Leave Behind" and Star Trek: Voyager 's "Endgame".[13] "These Are the Voyages..." featured guest appearances by Jonathan Frakes and Marina Sirtis as their Next Generation characters William Riker and Deanna Troi. Brent Spiner, another Next Generation veteran who had guest-starred earlier in the fourth season of Enterprise, had an off-screen speaking role as the android Data.[13] Jeffrey Combs appeared as the Andorian Shran, whom Coto had wanted to be a permanent addition to the cast in the event of another season.[14]
Filming of the final episode began on Friday, February 25, after the first half of the day was spent completing "Terra Prime". Principal photography took eight days to complete, one day longer than usual. The snowy complex set of Rigel X, first seen in the pilot episode, was used, as was the rarely seen Enterprise 's galley. Enterprise-D locations such as hallways and the observation lounge were re-created. Frakes and Sirtis arrived at the lot at the same time that a "Save Enterprise" rally was being held outside the gates. Similar to "What You Leave Behind", many of the production staff cameoed for a large crowd scene at the end of the episode, as Archer prepares to give his speech. Fifteen "VIPs" including writers Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens, André Bormanis, and Manny Coto joined two dozen extras in forming part of the audience. The rest of the digital set was filled by a computer-generated crowd. After their parts were finished, the final dismissal of each cast member was met with applause. Blalock and Bakula were the last actors to be released, and Bakula gave a speech thanking the production crew for making the cast feel welcome. Filming ended on Tuesday, March 8, and the sets were struck. Frakes and Sirtis returned on March 9 to complete green screen shots, which would be used when their characters entered or exited the holodeck.[13]
A series-ending wrap party was held for the cast and crew at the Roosevelt Hotel in April. Cast members spoke about their feelings about the end of the series. John Billingsley said the show "was a great ride, and it changed my life. It's something that will last forever for me." He was happy to say goodbye to the two-hour makeup sessions to create his character, Phlox. Many of the cast were taking a break and going on vacation before seeking new acting jobs. Among the notable guests were Star Trek Nemesis screenwriter John Logan, who was not affiliated with Enterprise, and Peter Weller, who appeared as a villain in "Terra Prime".[15] Before the episode's release, Berman would not elaborate on the final episode's content, saying "It's going to have some surprising twists and turns. It's somewhat of a valentine."[4]
Reception and home media release[edit]
"These Are the Voyages..." was negatively received by both critics and the show's cast. Before the episode aired, Blalock called the episode "appalling."[16] She followed up her remarks by saying she was upset over the finale being a The Next Generation episode rather than an end for Enterprise.[17] Connor Trinneer, who played Trip Tucker, felt that the finale should have had a memorable farewell that he described as a "M*A*S*H moment", but that the producers did not want to focus on such an element.[11] Anthony Montgomery (Travis Mayweather) was similarly displeased with the finale and said "I feel there could have been a more effective way to wrap things up for our show as well as the franchise as a whole. It just seemed to take a little bit away from what the Enterprise cast and crew worked so diligently to achieve over the past four years."[18] While Frakes enjoyed working with Sirtis again, he said that "the reality is it was a bit of a stretch to have us shut down [the Enterprise cast's] show," and that in hindsight it was a disservice to them.[9] The early criticism forced the show's producers to hold a conference and address the issue. Braga admitted there was cast unrest, but defended the episode as a way to close not just Enterprise but Star Trek as a whole.[19]
Reviewers were also critical of the Next Generation tie-in. Sci Fi Weekly's Patrick Lee said the framing story "reduces [the Enterprise cast] to the status of lab rats." Lee further noted that even without the guest appearances, the episode did not live up to the best offerings of the season, including "In a Mirror, Darkly".[16] National Post 's Alex Strachan called the Next Generation cameos reminders of better Star Trek, compared to the "bad make-up effects, bad acting, bad music" of the latest show.[20] Rob Salem of the Toronto Star said the cameos served no narrative purpose, and that the episode "robs [the] characters (and their fans) of any significant long-term development or satisfying sense of closure."[21] Reviewers also criticized the episode's ending, where viewers never got to see Archer's rousing speech.[22][23] IGN said that the episode was "Berman and Braga's parting shot, making sure that everyone knew who was in charge," and that the sharp contrast between "These Are the Voyages..." and "Terra Prime" brought into relief the reason why both should not be allowed to produce Star Trek ever again.[23]
The death of Trip Tucker was another object of controversy. Salem described the development as "a major character is pointlessly killed off in service of a pointless plot device,"[21] a complaint echoed by IGN.[23] Actor Connor Trinneer, who played Trip, said during a convention appearance that the character had "gotten out of much worse scrapes than that," and the death seemed forced. The writers, Trinneer contended, wanted to kill off a character to "get the fans talking," and so Trip was killed off simply to manipulate viewers.[24] Several critics ended their reviews by saying that whether fans would be disappointed or pleased by the episode, the majority of casual viewers would not care one way or another.[20][25][26]
In response to some of these criticisms, Coto stated that he personally considered the two-part story "Demons" and "Terra Prime" that preceded "These Are the Voyages..." the actual finale of the Enterprise storyline.[27] Berman said "I've read a lot of the criticisms and I understand how some people feel, but [Braga] and I spent a lot of time coming up with the idea and a somewhat, I would say, unique ending to a series, especially when you're ending it prematurely. [...] You never like to disappoint people, but I think it's nonsense to say that it was more a Next Generation episode than an Enterprise episode. The only elements of [The Next Generation] that were present were there as a sounding board to allow us to look at a mission that took place six years after "Terra Prime"."[28]
According to TrekNation, Enterprise 's final episode attracted 3.8 million viewers, an increase of 69% over the previous season's finale.[29] Newspapers covering Enterprise 's cancellation and its final episode often said that the failure of Enterprise was evidence that the franchise had moved too far from its roots and grown too dark. Andy Dehnhart of MSNBC said that "while the writers and production designers deserve credit for offering worlds that were perhaps slightly more believable, they lost the fantastic, wondrous approach to space travel that The Next Generation borrowed from the original Star Trek and then perfected."[30] USA Today 's Michael Peck said that without the "dreams" of earlier series, "Star Trek becomes just another television drama."[31] Melanie McFarland of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, meanwhile, said the show "never found the sense of uniqueness within the Trek universe that every version that came before it possessed."[32] Despite the cancellation, Paramount remained optimistic. Studio head David Stapf looked "forward to a new chapter of this enduring franchise in the future."[5] Berman and screenwriter Erik Jendrensen developed a concept for a new film taking place after Enterprise but before the 1960s television show.[33] Meanwhile Paramount asked Roberto Orci for ideas to revive the franchise, resulting in the production of a reboot film set in an alternate timeline from the 1966-2005 franchise simply titled Star Trek, released in May 2009 and directed by J. J. Abrams.
The episode was released on DVD home media as part of the season four box set on November 1, 2005 in the United States.[34] The Blu ray release of the final season of Enterprise was made available on April 29, 2014.[35]

Tevez: Citizens right for me
26 Jan 2010 - 08:38:44
Carlos Tevez has stoked up the ill-feeling surrounding Wednesday's derby after claiming he is now at the right club with Manchester City.
Tevez left Manchester United to join City last summer in a controversial transfer after deciding to sever his ties with the Old Trafford club following a two-year loan spell.
The Argentina striker then became embroiled in a public spat with United captain Gary Neville after scoring both goals in City's 2-1 Carling Cup semi-final first leg victory at Eastlands last week.
The 25-year-old striker is likely to receive a hostile welcome when he returns to Old Trafford for the second leg on Wednesday night.
However, Tevez claims his decision to make the move has been vindicated by his red-hot form for City this season, where he has scored 17 goals in 26 games.
"The welcome I received from the moment I arrived at City has been very special. I was made to feel loved and this means a lot to any footballer," he told the Daily Mirror.
"I feel I've shown I'm at the right club now. Everyone knows how important the fans are at this club and, if I make them happy, it's an honour.
"I think the United fans know I tried hard. City is my club now, a place where I feel part of everything.
"Maybe this wasn't always the way at United."
