  • Oasis (Star Trek: Enterprise)

    Oasis is the Twentieth episode (production #120) of the television series Star Trek: Enterprise. It guest stars Rene Auberjonois, who previously starred as Odo in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

    The crew is directed to a barren planet, where a derelict ship may be salvageable for supplies. However, the crew quickly learns that rumours about the shipwreck being haunted may be true.

    Plot

    Captain Archer, Sub-Commander T'Pol and Commander Tucker are dining with D'Marr, a visiting trader. He tells them of a "haunted" transport vessel that has crashed on a nearby planet, and Archer orders an away team to investigate. Once on board, T'Pol hears a noise, but detects nothing with her tricorder, while Archer and Ensign Mayweather find a computer terminal and decide to take it back to Enterprise. In engineering, Tucker and T'Pol discover a section of the ship protected with a dampening field. As they make their way to locate its generator, they find a chamber containing many armed crewmembers.

    Oasis 21

    Oasis 21 is a modern facility located adjacent to Nagoya TV Tower in Sakae, Nagoya which was opened to the public in 2002. It contains restaurants, stores, and a bus terminal, as well as the tourist information.

    The building is mostly underground, constructed in front of the Aichi Arts Center and facing the Hisaya Ōdori Park.

    The roof is a large oval glass structure that floats above ground level. It is filled with water to create an interesting visual effect and to cool down the temperature of the shopping area and the public space for various events known as "Milky Way Square" below in the summer.

    Alive! (Carmen McRae album)

    Alive! is a 1994 live album by the American jazz singer Carmen McRae recorded at The Village Gate in New York City in 1965. The album consists of two albums originally released on Mainstream Records, Woman Talk (1965), and "Live" and Wailing (1973).

    Reception

    Writing for AllMusic, Scott Yanow stated that "The flute and bongos make the music seem a bit dated, as does the inclusion of some forgettable show tunes from the era...McRae is in prime voice and sounds best on some Billie Holiday-associated tunes, but the set is mostly for her fans rather than general collectors."

    Track listing

  • "Sometimes I'm Happy" (Irving Caesar, Clifford Grey, Vincent Youmans) - 3:27
  • "Don't Explain" (Billie Holiday, Arthur Herzog, Jr.) - 4:15
  • "Woman Talk" (Johannes Brahms, Tony Scott) - 4:51
  • "Kick Off Your Shoes" (Cy Coleman, Murray Grand) - 2:16

  • Alive! (Grant Green album)

    Alive! is an album by American jazz guitarist Grant Green featuring a performance recorded at the Cliche Lounge in Newark, New Jersey in 1970 and released on the Blue Note label. The album was Green's first official live recording. The CD reissue added three bonus tracks.

    Reception

    The Allmusic review by Steve Huey awarded the album 4 stars and stated "Alive! is the hardest funk LP Grant Green recorded during the later phase of his career... this is the most convincing and consistent Green had been as a funkster and, while nearly all of his albums from the early '70s feature at least some worthwhile material for acid jazz and beat-sampling junkies, Alive! is probably the best place to start".

    Track listing

  • "Let the Music Take Your Mind" (Kool & the Gang, Gene Redd) - 8:42
  • "Time To Remember" (Neal Creque) - 11:19
  • Band introduction by Buddy Green - 0:32

    History

    Kowalczyk entered the studio in early 2010 to record material that he began writing in 2008. He wrote songs for Alive with an acoustic guitar, as he had when he wrote for Live.

    The lyrics on Alive feature much religious and spiritual imagery. Kowalczyk's acknowledgement of his faith is much more explicit on this album than it was on his work with Live. The album entered Billboard's Christian albums chart at number six.

    The album entered the charts in the Netherlands, debuting at number four on the Dutch albums chart. It has also charted in the United States, Belgium, and Australia.

    Who Loves You

    by: Santana

    Walking down on Main Street
    Cold chills in the air
    Looking for a helping hand
    Ain't nobody there
    Dreams, nightmares, and fantasies
    Weave their way around
    I can see past appearances
    They can't bring me down
    Chorus:
    But tell me
    Who loves you
    When you're down and out
    And you're all alone
    Who loves you
    When you've lost your mind
    And you lose control
    Television, radio and all the magazines
    Focus on the negative
    Time and time again
    Young men give their lives away
    Believing in a cause
    Ware is always profitable
    They write you off a loss
