Greetings, warriors! This is your Summer issue of CHUY DAH!
Ah, Earth weather. . .hot, sticky, humid. . .kinda makes you homesick, doesn't it?
FROM THE ADMIRAL'S CHAIR
To start off, as of July 31st, 2010, I'm proud to announce that the Clan Makhleod is 12 years old, and still going stronger then ever!
Secondly, the General meeting this month is temporarily suspended, as I (or should I say my Terran alter-ego, the gonzo pro wrestling writer The Reverend Rogue Six) will be making a public appearance as part of a wrestling memorabilia show, which will take place on August 14th at the Lifebridge Church in downtown Dover from 10 am to 5 pm. Anyone is welcome to join me, if you want.
Operation Yard Sale is still in effect, but there is a change of location and of date; the place will be the Dover Flea Market's parking lot (or inside the market in case of rain), while the date is slated for the weekend of September 11-12. Cmdr. Kha'vid is working on contacting other IKEF ships and allies for this operation, which is all being done in the name of Fleet Mom. More info will be forthcoming as it becomes available.
On a personal note, for those who I haven't told, I've undergone my first round of chemotherapy, and got through it just fine. Thank Kahless for better chemicals. . .my 2nd treatment will be on August 17th. On behalf of my folks and myself, my thanks for all your support.
INTELLIGENCE OFFICER'S REPORT
My health has been in the crapper (lol). I'm going to have a colonoscopie done, because I have been passing blood.They are also going to run a scope down my throat as I have thrown up blood. I will keep everyone updated.
I saw Twilight: Eclipse; it was very good, but Belle is still whiney. I also saw The Last AirBender -- a good movie, but not as good as the animated version was (in my opinion.
I enjoyed the Admiral's recent company, and getting caught up on the club at the Borders outing, as I can't make it down there - but can when you come to Canton.

CHUY DAH - July 2010
FROM THE ADMIRAL'S CHAIR
Yes, this issue is once again late. This time, later then usual. Those of you that I've talked to privately know why. Add to that the factor of dog-sitting for this past week, and that's all what's made this month's newsletter late. In the words of the immortal S'Tahn of the House of L'Hee, 'nuff said.
Catching up on business. . .first of all, a belated Happy Birthday to our resident Quartermaster K'Ana!
Next, thanks to Captain Kh'Per for the pleasure of his company on last month's Shore Leave in Canton!
Operation:MALL CRAWL last week held a special meaning for me, because it was on a July 10th, nineteen years ago, that I signed my enlistment papers and joined the IKV Doomslayer. Damn. . .from raw recruit to Commanding Officer in nearly twenty years.
To borrow a quote from the Grateful Dead, "what a long strange trip it's been". And I have no plans of stopping now.
Okay, that's enough of the old business -- now to some new business at hand:
RANT WARNING -- RANT WARNING -- RANT WARNING
I have said this before, and I'm going to keep on hammering at this until either it starts to happen, or it breaks from all the pounding: I WANT REPORTS FOR THIS NEWSLETTER. I'm getting tired of coming up with things to fill this space, and to those outside the ship who read this, it looks like my newsletter, and not the ship's.
This is going to change, people.
I've heard the biggest reason for not submitting reports being "I don't know what to say."
Okay, I'm going to explain this again: the kind of report I'm looking for doesn't necessarily need to be Klingon-oriented (unless you want it to be).
Tell us what's happening with you. If you read a great book, saw a great movie or TV episode, found something interesting online, or even if you just heard a great joke, SHARE IT WITH THE CREW! If there's something going on in your life, and you need to talk about it (and also if you feel okay with sharing it online), put it out there.
The bottom line: this is NOT just my newsletter, it is THE newsletter of the IKV Doomslayer, The Mighty Doomslayer (c), the flagship of IKEF and the home of The World's Most Dangerous Crew(c). Much has been given to us, and much is expected.
Need I say more?
Reports for the August newsletter will be due by July 25th. And they need to be more then a line or two.
CHUY DAH used to be the most popular newsletter in Ohio -- and it will be popular again.
THE RANT WARNING IS NOW OVER -- ALL CLEAR
The Calendar of Events wil be posted later. . .

June 2010 issue
This issue of CHUY DAH is brought to you by BIG DOG tequila, making Klingon women lose their armor for 3 centuries!
FROM THE ADMIRAL’S CHAIR
(Yes, that title has finally been changed, mainly because someone recommended that I needed to finally accept the changes that have come. . .)
Okay, now to catch up on some business:
I’m also hoisting a tankard of bloodwine in honor of two of our cadets who’ve celebrated birthdays in the last week or so -- Q’Od and K’Hellie! Here’s to two fine young warriors!
Why are these all belated? Simple -- celebrate three family birthdays within the span ten days, and see how far behind on things you end up! (That’s not an excuse, but a statement of fact.)
Now to current ship’s business:
This month’s meeting (June 12th) will involve our yearly “Get Out Of Dodge” trip to the Borders bookstore in Canton. I’d like to gather at the store around noon, which means I’ll be departing for Canton around 11 or so (to allow for Saturday traffic -- which has been known to be a little crazy at times, depending on the weekend. . .). If anyone wants to caravan to Borders, you’ll need to be at my house by 11. Dinner (if we stay in Canton that long -- and who knows? We might) will be at the Belden Village Mall’s food court.
If you’re a former member of the Donut Connection family, there’s a special event being held on Sunday, June 13th at Franklin Park in Strasburg. A Picnic for the Donut Connection Clan will be at the Park from 12 noon to 5 pm. If you’re attending, you need to bring a covered dish and beverage. I’m going, because there’s a lot of people I’d like to see again. . .
Doomslayer’s original Writer-in-Residence, Margaret Wander Bonanno, has a new TREK book on the shelves. Its titled UNSPOKEN TRUTH, and is devoted to Saavik’s past. I haven’t read it as of yet, but it’s on my list of books to read.
CALENDAR OF EVENTS
June 12th: Doomslayer’s Trip to Borders in North Canton - 12 noon
June 13th: Donut Connection Clan Picnic - Franklin Park in Strasburg from 12n to 5 pm (covered dish and beverage)
June 14th: NATIONAL FLAG DAY (be sure to fly the colors if you’ve got ‘em -- and if you don’t, get ‘em!)
June 21st: SUMMER BEGINS (as if it hadn’t been hot enough already)
June 29th: Autumn Daley’s birthday (can’t remember her Klingon name)

May 2010 - The "OMG This is late" Issue
FROM THE CAPTAIN’S CHAIR
To begin with, I want to raise a flagon of bloodwine and wish a Happy Birthday to our one and only resident Chief Engineer, Senior Commander Bastian!
Next, I’d like to wish a belated Happy Mother’s Day to all crew members of the maternal persuasion. Remember, everyone, without your mother, there is no you. . .
DOOMSLAYER'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE: On -1/0501.2010, an Away Team consisting of myself, Captain K’Dot, Lt. Commander K’Ana (who was recovering from a recent injury suffered when the gravitic regulators malfunctioned), and Lt. K’Wendah, traveled to the Columbus sector to attend a special memorial service in honor of Chancellor Klaad’s passing at Starbase Columbus.
Well, let’s say that was the original plan. (But as the saying goes, if you want to really make Kahless laugh, tell him your plans.)
The navigational programming that should have gotten our shuttle to the Starbase in a sufficient amount of travel time. . .well, it wasn’t programmed in the shuttle. So, to Captain K’Dot’s credit, she piloted and navigated simply by sight -- a strategy that worked . . . to a point.
We ended up seeing regions of the sector that we hadn’t planned on seeing before finding a navigational beacon and arriving at the Starbase just as the service had begun.
The service itself was done quite well, with anyone who wished to give tribute to the Chancellor an open podium to do so. Following the service, we talked with many of the attendees before setting out on the return trip.
And once again, we ended up having navigational problems. This time we came out of warp in the Lodi sector, but were able to get on the correct coordinates to return home.
This mission led to the creation of a special list that will be known on the ship as “Doomslayer’s Rules”. These rules will be more like a set of guidelines, but guidelines that should be followed to avoid future problems as much as possible. This list is not fixed in any way; it’s going to grow, I have a feeling.
And with that, the list begins here:
Rule Zero: Whenever in doubt, ask this question - “What would the Chancellor do?”
Rule One: Do not embarrass the ship.
Rule Two: Remember, this is supposed to be fun.
Rule Three: Unless there is a map/list of step-by-step instructions/GPS device present, Capt. K’Dot is strictly forbidden from performing any sort of navigation.
When more rules arise, they will be published here.
WHY WAS THERE NO MEETING THIS MONTH?: This is a perfectly reasonable question. To begin with, most of us had been on the Starbase Columbus Away team, so a great deal of ship’s business was dealt with on the road. Secondly, we’ve had a very busy couple of months, and I decided that we needed a break. And finally, it was Mother’s Day weekend, so everyone needed to spend more time with family. That’s why there was no meeting.
CALENDAR OF EVENTS
May 12th: Chief Engineer Bastian’s birthday
May 21st: Chief Intelligence Officer Kh’Per’s birthday
May 30th: Admiral Konnor’s birthday
May 31st: MEMORIAL DAY (Take a moment to remember the warriors who have made the ultimate sacrifice for us all)

April 2010 - Special Memorial Issue
FROM THE C.O.'S CHAIR
I'll tell you this, that's a title heading that I never thought I'd be writing. . .for myself.
Out of all the articles and pieces I've ever written, this is going to be the hardest I've done, but this is something I have to do.
One thing that I've always done ever since I became First Officer of the Doomslayer is that I've always talked straight to all of you. And that's what I'm going to do right here.
Damn.
This is not the way I'd envisioned taking command of this ship. Not by a frakking longshot.
But Fate, that fickle wench that she is, obviously had something else in mind for me and for all of us. I mean, we all knew there would come a day when Joe would leave us, but simply saying that over and over again never prepares you for the shock that hits you physically when it finally comes.
[In case you hadn't heard, the Battle Council has officially ordered that not only will Doomslayer stay the Flagship of IKEF, but I have been installed as the new Commanding Officer.]
Okay, where was I? Oh yes. . .there have been a couple of things asked in regards to the future of the ship, and I'd like to publicly answer them.
First of all, Doomslayer's fate was never in question. We will do what Joe would have wanted us - expected us - to do; we carry on. No matter what happens, we are -- and we will always stay -- The Mighty Doomslayer. Right now, at this point in time, this is undoubtedly the darkest time in the ship's history. But we will come out of it. I know it.
As for our schedule, yes, I admit that so far this year our amount of activities have been (for want of a better word) lackluster. Blame it on the randomness of OH weather. It sucks, but you can't avoid it. But I will guarantee you this: no matter if it's just 2 of us meeting for a cup of coffee or a plate of Chinese, or gathering for dinner and a mall crawl, we will do whatever we can to insure a ship mission at least once a month. We are nowhere near fading away, and as long as I'm drawing breath, that's not happening. As Joe once said to me, "As long as there's one of us left, there'll always be a Doomslayer."
For all the years I served as XO of this ship (and Kahless' hand, it feels so strange to speak of that time in the past tense!!) I was proud to be the 2nd-in-command of the greatest and most elite crew in the Imperial Fleet and serve under a great leader the likes of the Chancellor. And now that Fate has selected a new path for me, I can only say that the feeling. . .has not changed a single bit. You all make me proud, and I am honored to call you friends and family as well as crew, and to this day, I'd have no one else at my back. Period.
In short, if people think we act like a Mob family, then they haven't seen anything yet. I'm the new Godfather of this Family, and now more then ever, I take care of this Family as well as I can. This will never change. Nor will the fact that even though our founder and leader -- not to mention friend and mentor -- has gone on to captain a ship in the Black Fleet, we will always stand as The Mighty Doomslayer, home of The World's Most Dangerous Crew, and I am honored beyond measure to be your new Commanding Officer.
CHANGE TO THIS MONTH'S MEETING
Due to personal circumstances, this month's General Meeting will be on April 10th, at my home starting at 2 pm. Changes to the Ship's Handbook will be discussed.

CHUY DAH - March 2010: The St. Patrick's Day Issue
As I look out the window, I’m starting to see this green/brown coloring to the ground that seems to have been hiding underneath all the white that’s been covering the land. . .I believe the Terrans call this “thawing”. . .and I have to say, I like the looks of it. . .
It’s March, and we’re roughly 60 days or so away from the Camp Dover Reunion. We’ve got a lot done, but still have quite a bit to do in the way of final preparations.
This month’s meeting -- scheduled for March 13th -- is going to be moved ahead one day to Sunday, March 14th; the entire crew has been invited to celebrate the 1st birthday of Lt. Cmdr. Kha’vid and Lt. jg Kammie’s granddaughter, Cadet Recruit Rha’lyn. The party will be held at the Midvale Park Pavilion at 2 pm. Contact Kha’vid or Kammie for details on gifts.
Following the party, there will be a Reunion Planning meeting at the Main Moon restaurant (this location may be subject to change) in order to update the status of the reunion planning.
CALENDAR OF EVENTS
Mar. 13: Cadet Recruit Rha’lyn’s birthday
Mar. 14: Rha’lyn’s birthday party - Midvale Park Pavilion @ 2 pm.
Mar. 14: Camp Dover Reunion planning meeting (Time @ place TBD)

CHUY DAH February 2010
Before I start this issue off, I’ve got a question -- when did we get reassigned to Rura Penthe? I never saw the orders arrive; all I know is that I woke up in my quarters and it was fracking freezing!
And what was with the ice on the front view screen?
Okay, now that I’ve got that off my chest, onto the business at hand:
First of all, a belated Happy Anniversary to Lt. Cmdr. Kha’Vid and his mate, Lt. j.g. Kammie; these two celebrated 20 years of bonding on 2/2/10. 20 years. . .no wonder Kha’Vid’s Security Chief -- he’s had plenty of experience evading attacks, if you know what I mean. (And if you don’t, I’ll just head-slap you later. . .)
I’d also like to wish a belated Happy Birthday to the Doomslayer’s Writer-in-Residence and Cadet Q’Elle’s God-Aunt, Margaret Wander Bonanno, who celebrated her birthday on 2/7/10.
While I'm at it, I’d like to raise a mug of bloodwine to the 2010 NFL World Champions -- the New Orleans Saints! The Saints are a bit like us; they did what many said couldn’t be done, and they shocked the world.
Of course, it’s February, which means April is getting even closer. But this year, the forces of Nature seem to be conspiring against us. We do need to meet this month, but I don’t want anyone risking their lives just to come to a meeting, so for this month, I’m calling for an online meeting this Saturday to go over what we have yet to get done in regards to the reunion -- which will be here before we know it. Let’s meet via Yahoo IM at 10:30 pm; I’d like to keep this meeting fairly short. Contact me for any questions or further details.
