Base Commander’s Log—July 08

Greetings, crew!

First of all this month, I want to personally thank all of you that participated in the SBK elections and chose to retain the command staff as it stands until June of 2010. I know I speak for us all when I say we’re grateful for your continued support!

And now, moving on…

Enjoying dinner and the Star Trek concert with the SBK crew June 28th at Riverbend was AWESOME! Bob Picardo and John DeLancie were in top form hosting the Cincinnati Pops, and I have never before seen Erich Kunzel conduct, but I thought he was incredible!

Both Dave and I were trumpet players in high school, so the brass section is the first thing we always hear in an orchestra...and the Star Trek music has a lot of amazing trumpet solos. :: sigh ::

But hearing the original TOS theme, the DS9 theme, Ilia's theme from STTMP as well as the Klingon sections of ST II and ST VI made me itch to write fan fiction. It was indescribable how it felt to sit there almost inside the music at Riverbend with a breeze coming off the water and fireflies flirting in and out of the trees all around us.

Many thanks again to First Office Lisa of USS Maximillian in Columbus, who made sure we got the discount ticket info for Trek fans. She and the rest of the crew we met from the "Mighty Max" made us feel so welcome and we are looking forward to hanging with them in the near future! Honestly, it's so nice when other clubs are friendly--we so rarely see that.

I hope to see all of you at one of the summer events First Officer Dave has planned! In the meantime, take care, everyone!

Starbase Karma Historical Documents

Historical Document #3: A Quantum Leap Back is in progress.  Go here: http://community.livejournal.com/starbase_karma/

Michelle Turchiano added links on the left hand side to make it easy to navigate through the episodes.  If you would like to join us in this adventure, please send a note to
Karma_Science@yahoo.com for a plot synopsis.

Karma Recreation

June was a busy month for Starbase Karma. A group of us viewed "Indiana Jones" in Newport on June 8.  On June 28 Jan Popp, Joy Jones, Michelle Tuchiano, Aurelia Burkette, David Jones and Tashi Grant attended the Cincinnati Pops concert featuring John de Lancie and Robert Picardo. The concert featured music and trvia from the Star Trek movies and TV series.

Next on the agenda is the Starbase Karma summer picnic.  The event will take place at the Jones ranch on July 12 at 2:00PM.  Karma will supply the meat.  Please bring a side and a beverage.  We will eat around 4:00 then retire to the basement for a viewing of......Galaxy Quest!  I can hardly wait!

On August 9 we will travel to dark sky territory for a night of stargazing.  We have not yet selected a site and are open to suggestion.  Maybe someone should contact the Cincinnati Astonomical Society to see if we can use their site near Bridgetown.  Dave, will you take care of that?

We will now begin planning the rest of this year and into 2009.  What activities would you like to see?  We have discussed a pizza crawl, malts at midnight and of course movie marathons.  Keep in mind we have members all over the country.  There is no reason why we can't all share a malt at midnight even though we may be miles apart.

Heroes News from USS Aquila

Heroes has started to shoot the next 25 episodes on May 1st.  Bruce Boxleitner is touted to appear on Heroes paired with a female series regular.  Brea Grant will also be playing a character called Joy who is also known as the Speedster and is very quick at getting herself in and out of messes.  The new season will still stay focused on characters from the pilot episode in spite of the new characters who are being introduced.

:: cough ::  

Well, I didn't want to say anything but yes, they are doing a character based on me, LOL!

Very interesting to see 'who' your friends are!

(10-16 points) You are Garfield :
You are very comfortable, easy going, and you definitely know how to have fun but sometimes you take it to an extreme. You always know what you are doing and you are always in control of your life. Others may not see things as you do, but that doesn't mean that you always have to do what is right. Try to remember, your happy spirit may hurt you or others.

(17-23 points) You are Snoopy:
You are fun; you are very cool and popular. You always know what's in and you ' re never out of style , you are good at knowing how to satisfy everyone else. You have probably disappeared for a few days more than once but you always come home with the family values that you learned.  Being married and having children are important to you, but only after you have had your share of fun times.

(24-28 points) You are Elmo:
You have lots of friends and you are also popular, always willing to give advice and help out a person in need.  You are very optimistic and you always see the bright side of things. Some good advice: try not to be too much of a dreamer. Dreaming too big could cause many conflicts in your life.

(29-35 points) You are Sponge Bob Square Pants:
You are the classic person th at everyone loves.  You are the best friend that anyone could ever have and never wants to lose.  You never cause harm to anyone and they would never misunderstand your feelings.  Life is a journey, it's funny and calm for the most part.  Stay away from traitors and jealous people and you will be stress free.

(36-43 points) You are Charlie Brown:
You are tender, you fall in love quickly but you are also very serious about all relationships.  You are a family person. You call your Mom every Sunday.  You have many friends and may occasionally forget a few Birthdays.  Don't confuse your passion with reality.

(44-50 points) You are Dexter:
You are smart and definitely a thinker...  Every situation is fronted with a plan. You have a brilliant mind. You demonstrate very strong family principles.  You maintain a stable routine but never ignore a bad situation when it comes. Try to do less over thinking every once in a while to spice things up a bit with spontaneity!
