Base Commander’s Log—February 09
Greetings, Crew...
As most of you know by now, it has been a sad couple of months for Trekdom.
We lost Majel Barrett Roddenberry just before Christmas and Ricardo
Montalban just after the New Year.
Of course these events are not just a loss to fandom—they also make us
consider how life and death can switch places in only a moment, and how
lucky we are to be alive.
This year Star Trek
will take a different turn with the new movie that’s due out in
May, and there’s all kinds of talk on the internet anticipating conflict
between the fans of the old series(s) and the fans of the new film. I know
after all these years I shouldn’t be, but I must confess I was shocked. I
mean, I know there are those fans who just love to pick a bone about every
little thing Star Trek related. But don’t they realize that there
are NEW FANS OF TREK COMING!
How exciting is THAT?
When was the last time that happened?
Believe me, this is a
good thing. Let’s celebrate what Gene and Majel started and Ricardo helped
make such legend—let’s welcome these new fans and the new concepts of this
film—surely there’s enough fun for everyone. Yes? Yes.
See you soon. Love you all!

CORNER SHOT 7.62 ASSAULT PISTOL RIFLE- The revolutionary weapon that can
shoot around corners now comes in new model that offers the extended

rifle in a 7.62 mm caliber. This version also has an improved capability
to shoot over buildings and comes with accessories that include a "kitty"
to provide camouflage for the exposed barrel.

Report - Taser XREP
TASER XREP - The first wireless projectile that can
deliver less-than-lethal electro muscular incapacitation at long range.
Launched from a 12 gauge shotgun platform, this innovative device is set
to revolutionize law enforcement operations and will give military forces
an effective less lethal option up to a range of 20 meters.
Introducing the TASER™ XREP™ – eXtended Range Electronic Projectile. The
XREP projectile is self-contained, wireless, and fires from a 12-gauge
shotgun. It delivers the same Neuro Muscular Incapacitation (NMI)
bio-effect as our handheld TASER X26 Electronic Control Device (ECD), but
can be delivered to a distance of 65 feet (20 meters), combining blunt
impact with field-proven TASER NMI.

Scam Update
In a follow-up to last
issue's article about avoiding scams, I wanted to let you know about
BobBear, a
not-terribly-attractive-but-highly-informative website detailing literally
hundreds of scammers. It's a good place to check if you've got a
questionable email, and he's always looking for new scams to report.
