FIRST-CLASS MAIL U.S. POSTAGE PAID Burnsville, NC Permit No. 12 FIRST CLASS MAIL STARFLEET The International Star Trek Fan Association STARFLEET is the fan organization with something for everyone. Members are united the world over in their appreciation of Star Trek - the greatest human adventure. Dozens of chapters spread across the world link members into local fandom and the central organization. Annual membership in STARFLEET begins with a package containing a membership card, memo pad, and a listing of chapters throughout he world, including the one nearest you! The membership handbook will introduce you to STARFLEET’s unique infrastructure that offers two membership options. One allows you to be an associate member with no obligation other than receiving membership materials and newsletters. The other option provides a more futuristic atmosphere for the fan intrigued by the fleet structure of Star Trek’s universe. After receiving the membership package a new member will have the opportunity to sign aboard the starship (chapter) of their choice, hold a fictional rank and position and take part in that chapter’s Star Trek related activities and community service projects. Another element of STARFLEET is the annual subscription to the Communique, our bi-monthly newsletter that members receive. The Communique contains current information on STARFLEET operations and chapter activities. There are reviews of STARFLEET activities, lists of upcoming conventions, news and information on Star Trek media and articles on the space program and related areas.

  • An "Official" Spelljammer Guide to the Spheres [Revised 1.0]

    An "Official" Spelljammer Guide to the Spheres [Revised 1.0]

    Guide to the Spheres An "official" Spelljammer Guide to the Spheres [revised 1.0] By Paul Westermeyer aka GMWestermeyer Table of Contents: Page Section 1 Introduction 2 Phlogiston Navigation 4 Phlogiston Transit Times 4 Where is the Rock of Bral? 6 “Official” Flow Map 7 The Spheres and other Phlogiston Locations 23 ‘Loose’ Planets/Worlds 34 Bibliography: Introduction Spelljammer is a very unique and creative setting, but it is also one of the worst organized settings TSR produced with material is scattered among many different products. This makes it very difficult to find what you are looking for, a problem exasperated by Spelljammer’s status as a ‘connection’ campaign, designed (like Planescape) to connect the ‘big’ three settings, Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk, and Dragonlance. I’ve been working to alleviate this problem by writing guides and indices for those aspects of Spelljammer that are most important for creating a coherent, rational game setting. The first of these guides was An “Official” Spelljammer Timeline, which collated Spelljammer-related historical mentions in published TSR products into a cohesive, coherent timeline that Spelljammer (or Hackjammer) gamemasters could use as the foundation of their own, personalized campaigns. This guide, An “Official” Spelljammer Guide to the Spheres, has a similar purpose. Spelljammer’s iconic center is the Rock of Bral, just as Sigil is the iconic heart of Planescape, Spelljammer’s setting cousin, but Sigil’s location is quite firmly placed at the center of the Plane of Concordant Opposition, metaphorically the heart of the entire Advanced Dungeons and Dragons multiverse. Moreover, the various inner and outer planes are all well mapped in relation to each other, and have been ever since the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons Player’s Handbook in 1978.

    My Back Pages #5 Rich Lynch My Back Pages #5 a few more of my articles and essays Well, the Dog Days of August have arrived again. The midsummer heat and high humidity here in the D.C. area once again have made the outdoors an unpleasant experience. A few weeks of this weather is almost enough to make me look forward to winter snows again. But not quite. Anyway, the coming of August means that the annual World Science Fiction Convention is not far in the future. It’s invariably a fascinating event and is always something to be looked forward to. My wife Nicki and I have been to twenty-six Worldcons, in cities as close to home as Baltimore and as far away as Glasgow and Melbourne. This year’s Worldcon is in a place that neither it nor we have been before – Reno. Nowadays Reno is a gamblers’ paradise, but back in the late 1850s the area just south of Reno was the site of a gold and silver rush of immense and historic proportions. So we’re looking forward to not only the convention, but also to seeing some of the history surrounding that part of the “Wild West”. The previous time a Worldcon came anywhere close to this section of the United States was back in August 2008 when, as you will read, Denvention was only one of many conventions (and not nearly the largest) that visited Denver that month.

MYRICK EDITOR: BENJAMIN CALLAHAN PRODUCTION DESIGNER: CHRISTOPHER HALL MUSIC BY: IAN HULTQUIST CASTING BY: MARY VERNIEU and LINDSAY GRAHAM Drama Run time: 93 minutes ©2015 Best Possible Worlds, LLC. MPAA: R 3 Synopsis Lifelong friends stumble back home after high school when word goes out on Facebook that the most popular among them has died. Old girlfriends, boyfriends, new lovers, parents… The reunion stirs up feelings of love, longing and regret, intertwined with the novelty of forgiveness, mortality and gratitude. A “Big Chill” for a new generation. Quotes: “Deep, tangled history of sexual indiscretions, breakups, make-ups and missed opportunities. The cinematography, by David J. Myrick, is lovely and luminous.” – Los Angeles Times "A trendy, Millennial Generation variation on 'The Big Chill' giving that beloved reunion classic a run for its money." – Kam Williams, Baret News Syndicate “Sharply written dialogue and a solid cast. Kaley Cuoco and Cody Horn lend oomph to the low-key proceedings with their nuanced performances. Virginia Madsen and Andy Buckley, both touchingly vulnerable. In Cuoco’s sensitive turn, this troubled single mom is a full-blooded character.” – The Hollywood Reporter “A heartwarming and existential tale of lasting friendships, budding relationships and the inevitable mortality we all face.” – Indiewire "Honest and emotionally resonant. Kaley Cuoco delivers a career best performance." – Matt Conway, The Young Folks “I strongly recommend seeing this film! Cuoco plays this role so beautifully and honestly, she broke my heart in her portrayal.” – Hollywood News Source “The film’s brightest light is Horn, who mixes boldness and insecurity to dynamic effect.

    P. T. Anderson‟S Dilemma: the Limits of Surrogate Paternity

    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by The University of Sydney: Sydney eScholarship Journals online Sydney Studies P.T. Anderson's Dilemma P. T. Anderson‟s Dilemma: the Limits of Surrogate Paternity JULIAN MURPHET A while ago now, Fredric Jameson located the Utopian dimension of Coppola‟s first Godfather film (1972) in „the fantasy message projected by the title of this film, that is, in the family itself, seen as a figure of collectivity and as the object of a Utopian longing‟.1 In a late-capitalist America beset by an irreversible „deterioration of the family, the growth of permissiveness, and the loss of authority of the father‟, Coppola‟s Sicilians „project an image of social reintegration by way of the patriarchal and authoritarian family of the past‟. (33) To be sure, the ethnic group may preserve within its anachronistic familial webs a relatively untarnished „Name of the Father‟, that can be trotted out for nostalgic wish-fulfilment on celluloid; but it goes without saying that commercial American cinema has always turned on the institution of the family, to the extent that „in a typical Hollywood product, everything, from the fate of the Knights of the Round Table through the October Revolution up to asteroids hitting the earth, is transposed into an Oedipal narrative‟. 2 Jameson‟s Utopian account of the „ineradicable drive towards collectivity‟ (34) betokened by the family drama in American mass culture surely overlooks that most stubborn obstacle to its realization, both within any given plot, and more practically in everyday life: namely, the father himself.
