HEPHAESTUS is the Greek name for the Roman

god of the forge, Vulcan. Birmingham has the

world’s largest iron statue, that of the Roman god,

Vulcan. We named our Starfleet chapter the

Hephaestus to give us ties to our city and to Star

Trek, which has had its own Vulcan since 1966.

Hephaestus forged armor and weapons for the gods.

We create our own “armor and weapons” here, in

our newsletter, so it is called The Anvil.

the Picture quiz? Have you been able to get them as well?

Admiral Leonard H. "Bones" McCoy: Well, this is a

new ship. But she's got the right name. Now, you

remember that, you hear?

Lt. Commander Data: I will, sir.

Admiral McCoy: You treat her like a lady. And she'll

always bring you home.

— Season 1 - Encounter at Far Point

Lieutenant Worf: Mrs. Troi... I must protest your

unauthorized presence on the bridge!

Lwaxana Troi: [pointing to tactical console] What

does that little one do Mr. Woof?

Lieutenant Worf: Please Madame! That is a torpedo

launch initiator and it's - it is Worf, madame, not

Woof.

— Season 4 - Half a Life

Q: If you can't take a little bloody nose, maybe you

oughtta go back home and crawl under your bed. It's

not safe out here. It's wondrous, with treasures to

satiate desires both subtle and gross; but it's not for

the timid.

— Season 2 - Q Who?

Captain Picard (quoting Judge Aaron Satie): With

the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech

censored, the first thought forbidden, the first

freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably.

— Season 4 - The Drumhead

Jean-Luc Picard: It is possible to commit no mistakes

and still lose. That is not a weakness; that is life.

Lt. Cmdr. Data: If the warp drive fails to activate, the

results could be... unfortunate.

Lieutenant Worf: Very unfortunate. We will be dead.

Tom Towles (1950-2015)

I am sorry to report the passing of Tom Towles. The veteran actor best know for Horror and burly bad guys passed

away on April 5th. Some of you may remember Mr. Towles as the Klingon warrior Hon-Tihl in the Deep Space Nine

episode "Dramatis Personae" and as Doctor Vatm, a Nezu astrophysicist, in the Voyager episode "Rise". He

also was in Firefly, and the William Shatner directed film Groom Lake. Our sympathies go to the family,

friends and fans of Tom Towles. (http://www.startrek.com)

Anyone need a Genitronic Replicator?

In the episode “Ethics” in The Next Generation, Worf is paralyzed when a container falls on him in the

cargo bay. In the episode, Dr. Toby Russell uses a new technology call a Genitronic Replicator to replace

Worf’s spine. This may not be science fiction. The University of Dresden has been able to grow an intact spinal

cord for a mouse. This was done by using the mouse’s stem cells in a Petri dish. This may be just an initial step

because a mouse’ spinal cords is not as complex as a human’s. It may be awhile before this is a reality but we

are closer now than having to wait for the 24th century version. There will be advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage of this is that by using the person’s own stem cells to create the spinal cord there might be less

possibility of rejection. The disadvantage is that it takes time to grow the new spinal cord.

USS Ranger headed to the Final Frontier

The USS Ranger is headed to a scrap yard in Brownsville, Texas. This may see odd to have this article in Star Trek newsletter but as most fans probably know the Ranger substituted for the Enterprise in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. Can you say "Nuclear wessels."? The ship was commissioned in 1957 and serve from the Vietnam War to Operation Desert Storm. It was decommission in 1993. At the beginning of March the Ranger started out its five month final voyage from Puget Sound. It is going around South America because the Ranger is too big for the Panama Canal. Thank you for your service USS Ranger. A special thank you to all the crewmen that served aboard the Ranger for our freedom. (http://www.startrek.com)

COPD: The Logical Way to Improve Lung Function and Breathe Better

Julie Nimoy, daughter of Leonard Nimoy, with her fiancé David Knight are producing a new documentary about COPD. COPD is the illness that took Leonard Nimoy’s life at the end of February. This documentary will focus on the causes and the latest advances and treatments for the illness. COPD is characterized by a number of symptoms, including shortness of breath, activity limitations, respiratory infections and general fatigue. The hope is that this documentary will help with this often under diagnosed and under treated illness. (http://www.trektoday.com)

Reviews Face Off by: Captain MarkAdam Miller

ScyFy Network

(Spoiler Alert – May be spoilers in the article)

I normally don’t go in for reality TV shows. They all seem to me to be a little too scripted. Face Off does have some

scripted parts but they are covered pretty well to make it entertaining. I have gotten into this late, as I only found it after

watching Jim Henson's Creature Shop Challenge on Scy Fy. It came on after and sort of drew me in. I have always been

interested in how they do make up on Science fiction programs so this was interesting to see the creative process.

The show starts with 15 contestants competing for a makeup prize package. Each week they are given a challenge to

create a character in some genre of science fiction, horror or fantasy. They are judged by Glen Hetrick, Ve Neill and

Neville Page. These three judges are well known in the movie business for special effects make p. Each week the

contestant whose makeup is judged the worst is dismissed. This is done till 3 contestants are left. In the Final show they

then bring everybody back to help the 3 contestants with the final challenge. The best one out of this contest is declared

the winner.

Since I am late in coming to this program I wonder how some of the ‘masks’ are done. Some of the things they do to

make them and make up application could have been covered more in the first seasons. Even though I would like to know

more about this process, it is still interesting to see the contestants come up with some of their fascinating characters. The

surprising thing is how much the contestants get done in the short time(less then 3days) they have to create their projects.

Most of the time I and my wife agree with the judges on who has the best character. When we do disagree with the

judges it normally because the judges didn’t like how the contestant did a particular effect that they felt could be done

better. This show, I think, gives people who like to do this a good way to show off their talent. After the show is over a

contestant would have several pieces of work to put in a portfolio and also experience in doing make up in a time-

controlled environment.

The final challenge is the best because not only does the contestant need to come up with 2 or 3 characters but convey

their concept to their ‘team’ (that season’s former contestants) to make sure their vision is transformed into reality.

If you are into fantasy/SciFi characters then you need to check this program out. The Star Trek link to this program is

the Host, McKenzie Westmore who was in Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek Voyager and Star Trek:

Insurrection. Her dad is Michael Westmore, also know for Special Effects makeup.

While on an Away Mission Captain Miller was on the way to 10 forward when Q appeared in front of him drinking the last of 2 liter

bottle of Grapico Soda and eating the cheese dust out of a bag of Cheetos. Q saw me and said, “I thought you

would want to know, you are out of Grapico and Cheetos.” With that he disappeared. Smacking his forehead,

the captain runs to 10 Forward to see what is left for the cookout. Ensign Donald Arnold is looking through the

cupboards saying, “He better not have taken the Funyuns and Mountain Dew.” I see several empty bottles of

Grapico and Cheetos lying around the bar and realize that Q got those items and nothing more. Ambassador

Shirley Burton was sitting by the window looking out at the Stars. On the table in front of her were a big bag of

Lay's Sweet Southern Heat Barbecue Potato Chips and a full liter bottle of Smart Water. I asked if she saw

what happened. She said “Q came in and was hungry and started eating the Cheetos and drinking the Grapico.

So I grab the Lay's Sweet Southern Heat Barbecue Potato Chips and a full liter bottle of Smart Water and I told

Q, ‘You've got yours...I've got mine. We shouldn’t have a problem.’ Q said he wouldn’t be long and finished

off what he was eating then disappeared.” Great now I am going to have to go back to the Starbase grocery

store and get more Cheetos and Grapico. What a bad time for the replicators to go down.

While on an Away Mission is a fictional account of things that the Hephaestus might run into on her Voyages. Have a suggestion of a planet to visit, a creature to encounter . . . then send me your Ideas and I will write it up. -
