About the Away Mission (Formerly Vulcan Events) the Away
About The Away Mission (formerly Vulcan Events) The Away Mission is focused on putting on great events for the fans, producing intimate conventions offering refreshing alternatives to other convention styles that offer one long line after another. Drawing on more than 30 years of industry experience, the Away Mission brings trust and confidence back to the small-convention market. www.away-mission.com ### About the Celebrity Guests William Shatner is a Canadian actor, author, film director, spokesman and comedian. He gained worldwide fame and became a cultural icon for his portrayal of Captain James Tiberius Kirk, commander of the Federation starship USS Enterprise. He has written a series of books chronicling his experiences playing Captain Kirk and being a part of Star Trek, and has co- written several novels set in the Star Trek universe. Shatner also played the veteran police sergeant in T. J. Hooker from 1982 to 1986. From 2004 to 2008, he starred as attorney Denny Crane in the television dramas The Practice and its spin-off Boston Legal, for which he won two Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe Award. Since then he is busier than ever producing and directing two documentaries, making several guest TV appearances, and releasing the non-fiction book "Shatner Rules" which is the basis of his one man show which he performs in select cities around the country. Alice Eve is best known by Star Trek fans as Dr. Carol Marcus, Kirk’s love interest and the newest member of the Enterprise crew, in the new Star Trek hit "Into Darkness." Before Star Trek, she was already warming her way to nerd hearts everywhere with the female lead role in the romantic comedy film "She's Out of My League". -
October USF PADD
1 From the Editor Greetings one and all! While we carry over some of the celebratory mood of last month's issue for Star Trek's 45th anniversary, this month's main focus is the man behind it all. Gene Roddenberry. In a more somber reflection, we pay tribute to his genius and imagination, for this month marks 20 years since his death. Would he have imagined his vision to continue on so strongly after he had reached his final frontier? We can't say for certain, but surely he had wished. So, aside from the second part of the Star Trek Culture article, we also have a nice little tribute to “the man”, and even some interesting and perhaps little known facts about him. And since I haven't been able to find anyone that attended the big 45th anniversary Vegas Convention and would be willing to share their experience and perhaps pictures, I decided to take us all back in time to the 30th anniversary with the help of a willing simmer. (But I'm still looking for the scoop on this year!) Plus, we have a few “firsts” in this issue. Namely: the first two official strips from the new comic “Prime Defective”, the first time Chief Squill is handing out his astute Ferengi advice, and the first issue of the Cookbook under a new culinary chef... or is she an alchemist? You could think so, considering what she “cooked” up for her debut. And now... I won't hold you up any more. Enjoy the read!

The American Archivist Reviews Date Posted: December 20, 2018
The American Archivist Reviews Date posted: December 20, 2018 http://reviews.americanarchivist.org They’re Digging in the Wrong Place: The Influence of Indiana Jones on the Archives Reviewed by Samantha Cross, CallisonRTKL, Inc. Tell me if this sounds familiar: you’re chatting with friends, family members, maybe complete strangers and the subject of professions pops up. They ask you what you do for a living, and you reply with, “I’m an archivist.” Their response, “Oh, like in Indiana Jones?” Now, there are a few ways to handle this situation. One, flip every table you can find and drop to your knees shouting at superhero-level “NO!” before setting fire to an expensive coat and leaving a you-shaped Bugs Bunny-esque hole in the wall as you disappear into the wilderness. Two, internalize their ignorance and drive it deep down into the void that was once your soul before everyone started making that same statement. Or three, take the more contemplative approach and explain what an archivist is and why the comparison to Indiana Jones isn’t accurate. I’d recommend the third option, mainly because it’s less psychologically damaging and you’re less likely to be arrested for property damage. But to each their own. Kidding aside, the truth of the matter is that I’ve gotten the Indiana Jones remark more times than I can count, which led me to wonder why that reference is so prevalent. Is it because archaeologist, Indy’s actual profession in the films, and archivist contain the same arch- root word? For the record, archive comes from the Greek arkheia meaning “public records,” which stems from arkhē meaning “government” while archaeology stems from the Greek arkhaios meaning “ancient.”1 Or, is it a genuine misconception due to the fact that the closing scene of Raiders of the Lost Ark is the only pop culture frame of reference most people have of archives? From what I can tell, it’s a combination of the two. -
Warehouse 13 (2009) Avventure in Bilico Fra Reale E Sovrannaturale
Warehouse 13 (2009) Avventure in bilico fra reale e sovrannaturale. Un film di Jace Alexander, Vincent Misiano, Stephen Surjik, Michael W. Watkins con Eddie McClintock, Joanne Kelly, Saul Rubinek, Genelle Williams, Simon Reynolds, Allison Scagliotti, CCH Pounder, Roger Rees, Jung-Yul Kim, Kaley Cuoco. Genere Fantascienza Produzione USA 2009. Due agenti dei servizi segreti indagano su strani eventi che coinvolgono oggetti con poteri soprannaturali che potrebbero mettere in pericolo il mondo. Mattia Nicoletti - www.mymovies.it Myka Bering e Pete Lattimer sono due agenti segreti statunitensi assegnati al Warehouse 13, un deposito governativo gestito dal Dr. Arthur Nielsen in cui vengono conservati oggetti di natura soprannaturale considerati pericolosi per l'umanità. I due agenti hanno infatti il compito di trovare e recuperare vecchi e nuovi oggetti per riportarli al Warehouse 13. Sono diversi gli eredi di 'X-files', ma i più convincenti sono 'Fringe' e 'Warehouse 13'. Per certi versi le due serie si somigliano. Entrambe hanno personaggi in perfetto parallelo. La differenza è che 'Warehouse 13' gioca con la leggenda, la mitologia, la storia e il soprannaturale. È la forza iconografica degli oggetti a coinvolgere il pubblico proprio perché spesso appartenuti a grandi artisti, scienziati e inventori. Se infatti la struttura autoconclusiva dell'episodio e il gioco delle diversità dei singoli personaggi non sono innovative, 'Warehouse 13' induce al sogno (o all'incubo) e alla curiosità di sapere qualcosa di più sugli oggetti protagonisti. Ogni puntata è un viaggio nel tempo vicino o lontano, elemento che fin dalla "macchina" di H.G Wells ha affascinato generazioni. È un atto d'amore per un'avventura in bilico fra reale e soprannaturale, in cui ognuno vorrebbe immergersi almeno una volta nella vita. -

If I Had A Whistle By Your Dark Side INT. STORYBROOK, WAREHOUSE 13, OFFICE - DAY ARTIE NIELSEN, greying curls, glasses, could lose a few pounds, wears clothes you’d find in a second hand shop. He picks up an etablet, papers, and scuffles from desk to desk. He takes down some notes. On the large screen a steam train. PETE LATTIMER, relaxed dress sense, cocky bastard, enters the room. PETE Artie, what’s this? Is this your hobby now? Artie grabs a walkie-talkie. ARTIE Myka, where are you? Come here now. MYKA (V.O.) Where’s here? ARTIE (Tired) Where do you think? He clumsily sets the walkie-talkie down. It falls over. MYKA (V.O.) I know. I’m pulling your leg. MYKA BERING, professional looking, pretty, enters the room. MYKA Artie, I wish you could find Bob Hope’s pen and give yourself a sense of humour. Artie shuffles to the center of the room to face the large screen. ARTIE (To Myka) Are you done? She shrugs. Artie points to the screen. If I Had A Whistle 2. ARTIE This is the Flying Scotsman. Legend has it, it’s whistle once pulled, gave the train magical powers. It could fly literally, time travel, and destroy other trains in it’s path. And I’ve just located where that whistle is. We need to retrieve it before the Dark One gets his hands on it. Pete sits down to face the back of the chair. PETE Where is it? Artie bashes his etablet which changes the screen display. -
