Greetings From the Captains Desk.
First the reminder about SFI positions and Rank
1701
74209
Last month one of our members has brought to my attention a potential
issue. As a result I must remind everyone that fictional roles of position and
Rank are just that, fictional.
Why? Is this an issue? I don’t believe it really is a problem or really an issue.
But, if you are in need of professional help with something, please seek
licensed and bonded professionals in the appropriate field, be it
Engineering, Psychological, Mechanical, and especially Medical related.
Thermopylae is not the place to come to with these issues, but we are a
community who will help each other as friends. And that is a rare thing in
this day and age.
I hope this takes care of any confusion and concern, and reminds everyone
that we’re here to have fun. Any questions will be answered at the ship’s
meeting.
Second from the desk, and on a merrier note:
It’s June! We have just a few things to do, including: Father’s day cook out at
the lodge, and a few others events coming up, which we’ll talk about at the
meeting. If the lodge is locked up and we can’t get in again, we’ll hold
meeting at the CO’s Quarters.
I want everyone to start thinking about something else: in 6 months time my
term as CO will be up. We need to dust off the old election schedule and
procedures to elect a new Commanding Officer.
Other things to start planning for:
74209
74703
Thermopylae cannot and will not be held responsible by the actions of any
one member who attempts to hold their self in a real world state of
position. Meaning: Thermopylae does not support the private practices of
it’s individual members professions, real or fictional, beyond the role play
and fictional position in the club. To acknowledge and allow anyone to offer
public professional services through the ship is leaving members to potential
legalities, which we cannot get tied up in as a star trek fan club. If anyone
does offer professional services it is for personal business practices only and
does not represent Thermopylae.

Harvest Costume Party- For October. Plans?

Science Department Report
Brandy Cannon
1701
74209
As many have done before me, and shall do in the future, I have embarked on a lengthy and time consuming project in the science department.
Since testing on others is frowned upon in many circles, I have been experimenting using myself as the subject. So far the stressors have included
sleep deprivation, extreme nausea, forgetfulness, spontaneous napping, and the need to run to the latrine at an increasing rate. Although the test
conditions and symptoms thus far have been severe, I can happily report that the first phase in my “Build Your Own Spartan” project is coming
th
along quite well and I should be expecting results to be finalized around the 28 of November, give or take. I will be sure to keep the crew updated
as to the progress in this area and may even need to ask for assistance at times due to the rather all-consuming nature of this type of project. As my
previous build at this project has yielded positive results for the past 7 years, I am confident that this new Spartan model will be just as rewarding. I
have every reason to expect success.
All my best from the science department,
Lt. Cannon, Brandy M.

Well, I can see we all -- for the most part -- survived tax season. Now comes
the spring (if it every decides to show itself) and then the summer fun. We all

Lucky me is right up front and get a wonderful view of the lovely sunny weather,
when it is out, and am stuck looking out the glass doors with longing. Looking
for an excuse to have to go somewhere in the camp, just to walk around. How
many other's have windows that temp them to play hookey and enjoy the nice
weather when it is out??
Those with kids now have the task of getting them out and about, instead of
inside by the computer or TV. Hopefully you live in an area that enables them
to do just that.
I wanted to share some tips that our staff couselor at work has put out (I sorta

When You Feel Verbally Attacked
Caterina Spinaris Tudor, 2012
When you experience what to you is a verbal attack on your person, instead of
attacking right back, following:
1. Step back and try to assess if you were truly attacked, or if you are being
overly sensitive and taking the other per—son’s behavior personally more than
warranted.
2. Display a calm and respectful attitude throughout your exchange.

Remember, stress can come easily these days. Recognize it in yourself and
your situation, find ways to combat it and try and give others a little bit more of a
break then you may usually -- who knows what is going on in their lives.
But........a stressful situation does not give justification for doing just anything
regardless of how it effects others.
The second one is a topic that is ongoing and timeless. In the modern era
however the ever-present issue of peer pressure is filled with "new", and more
dangerous, things that children and teenagers feel pressured into doing.
The Top Ten Tips for Helping Your Child Deal With Peer Pressure
74703
2. Promote your children's self-esteem. Children who are confident and have
positive self-worth are more likely to pursue friendships with children who are
good role models and better able to resist negative peer pressure. Find
opportunities to boost your children's self-esteem and enjoy success by
involving them in activities that capitalize on their strengths and interests. And,
of course, praise them for things they do well at home.
3. Set a good example. Your children are keen observers of what you do and
may learn more from what they see than what they hear. If they see that you
are constantly striving to keep up with other parents, they will likely do the same
with their peers. If they see you drinking and smoking, they are less likely to
resist engaging in these behaviors. If you do drink or smoke, giving it up will
make a vivid impression on them.
74209
74209
needs to be nurtured long before your children's teenage years.
Standing up to peer pressure is one of the greatest challenges that children
face. Many are unable to stand up to the challenge and are led into participating
in risky or even illegal activities. Help your children deal with peer pressures by
doing the following:
1. Strengthen the bond with your children. They will be more likely to respect
your views and values and better able to resist peer pressure if they have a
good relationship with you and feel you are a source of support. This bond
5496871.57854
4. Talk with your children about peer pressure. Let your children know that you
understand how hard it can be at their age to do things that make them stand
out. Tell them that their peers may respect their decision not to join them in an
activity even though they may not express it, and that some may even admire
their courage in resisting what they could not. Help them understand that a
friend who is pressuring them to do something that may be harmful is not much
of a friend. Appeal to their desire for autonomy by encouraging them not to let
others manipulate or make decisions for them.

5. Avoid overreacting when talking about peer issues. Your children may tell you
things that may make your jaw drop. If you overreact, you will discourage them
from talking with you about these issues again. At the same time use these
teachable moments to introduce some cautions without moralizing or lecturing.
Although it may seem as though they are dismissing what you are saying, they
will hear you.
6. Choose your battles carefully. Don't make an issue out of your children's
wanting to wear the same clothes as his friends or adopt a trendy hairstyle.
Make your stand on high-risk peer behaviors. Battling your children constantly
over minor issues may drive them toward peers who are similarly alienated
from their parents. Not sweating the small stuff will enable you to be more
effective when you challenge them on the larger issues.
74209
7. Help your children develop good decision-making skills. If they can learn to
trust their own instincts when making decisions, they will be less likely to let
others make decisions for them. Encourage them to think through the possible
consequences of the decision they are facing, including whether it may cause
them harm. Let them know that giving into the pressure now may make life
harder for them later on.
9. Get to know your children's friends. Make a point of encouraging your
children to invite their friends home. Spend some time with them and assess
whether they are positive influences.
10. Don't hesitate to set limits for your children. Your willingness to say no to
them sets a good example and may help give them the courage to say no to a
peer when faced with a potentially harmful situation.
Hopefully either you or someone you know can find some help with these tips.
Until next time -- "Save the Earth.... It's the only planet with chocolate" (I have
a magnet that says that)...? ? ?
74209
8. Help your children develop responses to peers. Help them figure out what to
say to peers who are pressuring them to participate in high-risk activities.
Suggest responses that are short and simple and that they can say comfortably.
If they are receptive, role-play with them or encourage them to practice in front
of a mirror.

Other things to be aware of, Catapalooza, a large cat adoption event is going to be held Aug 11 and 12th. The shelter is also forming a partnership
with the WSU Veterinary school, starting in May, 2013, senior vet students from WSU will come to SHS and perform spay/neuter surgeries and
other medical procedures as a part of their clinical training. They get hands on experience and can help the community and we can medically take
care of more animals.

Building BSG-75
BATTLESTAR GALACTICA
1701
By Scott Nakada
74703
My experience with this kit is an intuiting one. Moebius Models has a reputation for
putting out a fine model kit. They have put allot of time and energy into designing
this model and it shows. But where the kit has it’s weak points is in mass
production.
The kit has tooling marks from the original master part, which as a model maker I
am finding curious, and a pleasure to see. Details are not as clean and crisp as I
would like to see, since the MSRP for this kit is $46 for a 16 inch long set of parts.
Also, the detail is lacking in places, and it appears that short cuts were taken to help
minimize master creation and tooling.
Simply put, the addition of some simple separate parts and panels would have gone
a long way with it’s value.
1701
74209
74209
The quality of it’s molded parts in the kit I received had two annoying issues. It was
dimpled in places that were supposed to be flat surfaces for one. This could be
caused by several factors, but is a problem that occurred in manufacturing, not
master tooling.
The second issue were the formed sprews inside the flight pods. Anyone that has a
Dremel Tool or similar rotary tool, has no problem taking these down aside from
annoyance. Anyone that does not have access to that tool, has to cut it out with a
exacto knife and that’s about 6 sprews that need to be removed. Per flight pod.
Without removal of these, the flight deck won’t fit into place properly. These are
sprews that were snapped off as a part of the injection molding process.
The fit of the kit parts is also not as snug as they should be. The worst part is the
forward section of the ship does not fit as level as it should, and again the flight
pods do not either. When assembled the parts actually are slightly bowed. To get my
hulls to come even close to working I had to trim off about 1/16” of plastic off of
part of the forward interfacing structure. And even then, I find it still needs to be fit,
by hand. Ignoring the tooling that is supposed to align the whole thing.
Next we go on to the instructions.
74703
prop. Pretty cool. My gripes about it are the coloration that is advised. Basically
what they are saying regarding the kit is: We don’t know what color it’s supposed to
be. So we painted ours steel and put a black wash over it. Then they give you a list
of colors to use if you want to paint the rest of the details.
Uh yeah? About that... watch the series guys. It’s a series of metallic colors for the
body, with a series of grey tones. For my build I limited my paints to 3 shades of
grey. LT Gray, Dark Gray, and a German panzer gray. The general body color I used a
silver aluminum spray paint from Walmart, I had in the house, for the plated
sections, and Valspars’ Aluminum for the ribbed sections of the ship. For the interior
flight pods I used a pewter color which is darker than the silver but still stays in the
metal tones, just darker for lack of scale, to make it look “properly” scaled or sized.
And for giggles I also used a silver sharpie to help knock down some of the glare.
Using the CGI images that were provided with the instructions I painted the
mechanical sections the German gray color. The remaining two colors I set about
painting them in random grey square colors, only spending 5 minutes maximum per
panel. After that, I set about adding a black wash to the kit to give it a deeper sense
of color. But what I realized after starting the procedure: It sucked. The wash was
not accurate enough for the small detail. So I took out my secret weapon. The
Gundam Marker. These are markers designed for detailing plastic mecha kits called
Gundams. The dark grey color works well to add detail as it is partially translucent,
and tints down detail areas as if it were dirt or shadow. This worked much more to
give the kit a visual weight and a little more realism.
On the rear engines knowing that this kit will never light up I elected to use tones of
gold and chrome for the under colors, and for the engine bells. This was painted on
the interiors and exterior since the engine parts are translucent. Over that as a last
detail to simulate wear, a layer of burnt magnesium paint was added, which gave it
that used “pop” look. In person this does look impressive. The panels shimmer and
disappear in light as they do on screen, even looking matte at different angles.
For the Star field backdrop in the photos that’s all done with optical trickery. A black
cloth of Sparkly black material was added to give it the star field look, then the
brightness in the cover photo was taken down in Corel draw’s bitmap editing
program.
So the following images are the model, in it’s glory, and not photo shopping the
photos. So on to the next page. This kit really is as easy to assemble as a regular trek
kit, so anyone can nearly enjoy it. I used super glue to assemble it.
These are beautifully done, and if you cut the corners off of it, they feel like a BSG

Coming up soon we have several holidays.
For the Christmas Season, to be judged in November:
1701
I know that the crew of the Thermopylae are crafty. There is allot of skill out
there that can be shown off, and allot of good can come from it for future
projects. This is an excellent way of sharing your interests, showing your
skills, and a great way to share some of our favorite subjects. Ultimately
though, it’s to have some fun. With that I have some model and prop
making challenges.
First off for the to be judged in October Halloween Season:
74209
THE CO’s Model Kit making challenge:
Each team or competitor will select a model kit and paint and glue it
together. It can be of any subject, diorama or not.
For both competitions the work will be judged by a selection of panelists.
And judges may enter if they wish to as well but will have to abstain from
voting for themselves.
The CO’s Prop making challenge.
Each competitor or team is to build a prop. There will be two categories:
The winners will each be presented with a prize and place ribbons, And all
participants will be featured in the Comm Link.
1) Kit Built -built from pre existing parts this can be from any series or film.
Are you up to the challenge?
2) Scratch Built - An all original prop, designed and built by hand, not using
any other parts from an existing prop, pre existing detail parts however are
OK.

DEPARTMENTS AND YOU
74656
Departments: What does it mean to
you?
1701
What is the purpose aside from knowing what color shirt you could
wear?
Please give it a chek mark, and give or email the form to the chosen
department head, XO David Garrett, and LT. Hedrick, or myself.
See everyone soon, and take your time about choosing.
This provides structure for new members, and a sense of belonging to a
team. Department Teams will be used during gaming, or other
competitions through out ship events or projects.
This allows us to work in organized predetermined groups for larger
events such as uniformed events, or events that Thermopylae may host.
It also means you will be able to work with people that have a more
specific interest when we work together in groups.
1701
This is not to exclude anyone or to break people up. This helps us simply
in organizing the crew for events.
Each Department head will be responsible for providing direction and
appointing a Department Head Assistant, or Department Head Duty
officer, in the event that they cannot or are unavailable to participate in
an event.
74209
So please take a look at the form, to the right, and please feel free to
pick out where you want to be. If you are strictly a Marine, just check
the marine box. That’s it, and give it to the Marine DOIC, or the OIC.
74209
If you are a reservist, please write it down in sub-specialty. If you are a
scientists and have a sub-specialty, such as anthropology, note it.
here is the address of the form on the Thermopylae site:
