Citizens seek probe of Shumlin deal sentBy PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau | June 14,2013MONTPELIER Gov. Peter Shumlins controversial land deal has spawned calls from citizens for an independent investigation, though it remains unclear whether state officials have launched a probe.
Attorney General William Sorrell confirmed Thursday that at least six Vermonters have asked for a formal review of a transaction last fall in which Shumlin purchased a 16-acre homestead for about one-third of its current assessed value.
Sorrell said citizens have expressed a particular concern for the mental acuity of the man from whom Shumlin purchased the acreage and whether the transaction constituted abuse of a vulnerable adult.
Sorrell, who first disclosed the complaints during an interview on WDEVs The Mark Johnson Show Wednesday, said hes referred the correspondence to the Department of Disabilities, Aging and Independent Living, the state agency responsible for investigating claims of abuse or exploitation of a vulnerable adult. A lawyer at that department said the state can neither confirm nor deny the existence of the complaints or whether they have prompted an investigation into Shumlins land deal.
Whether any reports were made or emails forwarded, and how theyre being treated by DAIL, and more specifically by Adult Protective Services, is a confidential matter, said Stuart Schurr, assistant attorney general for the Department of Disabilities, Aging and Independent Living.
Sorrell, however, said the allegations seem to be serious contentions and worthy of at least some review.
Theyre not likely to be dismissed out of hand, Sorrell said.
A written statement provided by Shumlins personal lawyer Thursday seemed to suggest that state investigators have already been in touch with the Democratic governor.
We have been in contact with (Adult Protective Services) and will continue to be involved in any way they request, attorney Jerry Diamond said in an email.
Diamond, who also said Shumlin believes strongly that all such complaints should be thoroughly investigated with the participation of the parties, declined to comment further.
The citizen complaints came mostly in the form of emails to Sorrells office and express dismay over a real estate transaction that began making headlines last month when East Montpelier resident Jeremy Dodge first went public with his sellers remorse.
Dodge and his children say Shumlin used the specter of a looming tax sale to lowball Dodge on the homestead he inherited from his parents in 2009. One of Dodges daughters has characterized their father as a 16-year-old mind inside a 54-year-old body, and they say he lacked the mental acuity to evaluate Shumlins offer. Dodge did not have a lawyer to represent him in the transaction.
Shumlin has said the deal was a fair one for both him and Dodge and that he has no reason to suspect the sellers mental faculties are in any way diminished. He said he urged Dodge to get a lawyer but that Dodge refused.
Both Shumlin and Dodge have since retained high-powered attorneys. Diamond, a former three-term attorney general, is handling the case on behalf of Shumlin; Brady Toensing, a Charlotte lawyer with ties to the Republican Party, is representing Dodge. Joy Karnes Limoge, a Williston property lawyer, will also be working on behalf of Dodge.
Correspondence to Sorrells office, released Thursday after a records request, question both the legality and ethics of the land deal.
I would like to know if your office intends to investigate Shumlins land deals, Sally Minor wrote May 28. For the governor of Vermont to take advantage of any mentally challenged person is despicable.
In another May 28 message, East Montpelier resident Walter Zeichner called for a very transparent investigation.
The public has a right to know what kind of person is in the governors office, Zeichner wrote.
On June 8, Rich Hollenbeck Sr. asked that Shumlin be investigated for taking advantage of one that clearly isnt in complete touch with reality, not knowing what direction to turn to get even the basic help afforded to folks in his position.
Kristin Anderson on May 29 told Sorrell in an email that it is obvious that Gov. Shumlin scammed a mentally deficient neighbor out of his rightful inheritance.
Please create a transparent plan to look into the details of this apparently unjust dealing, and see if this wrong can be righted, Anderson wrote.
Speaking about the process at Adult Protective Services generally, Schurr said the divisions screeners vet claims to see whether they merit investigation by a field supervisor. That vetting process, Schurr said, centers largely on whether the alleged victim meets the statutory definition of a vulnerable adult and whether the alleged behavior constitutes the abuse, neglect or exploitation needed to launch an investigation.
A vulnerable adult, under Vermont law, includes anyone who is impaired due to brain damage, infirmities of aging, or a physical, mental, or developmental disability. Exploitation of a vulnerable adult, according to statute, includes willfully using, withholding, transferring or disposing of funds or property of a vulnerable adult for the wrongful profit or advantage of another.
Schurr said that if the complaints pass muster with screeners, theyre handed off to field supervisors who investigate the merits of the claims. Two investigators in the financial exploitation unit would likely handle probes dealing with real estate transactions.
When claims of malfeasance are substantiated, Schurr said, the perpetrators name is generally placed on a statewide registry. The registry is not a public document.
Schurr said the state also has the authority to levy fines, though it rarely uses that power.

A new tax on horizontal wells in Ohio is an effort to provide clarity to oil producers and ensure that the rate is low enough to keep them coming to the state in the fracking boom, the bill sponsor told his colleagues yesterday.
But some Democrats questioned whether the tax rate is high enough if part of the severance tax's estimated $1.7 billion in proceeds over the next decade is to be earmarked for income-tax reductions.
After rejecting Gov. John Kasich's proposal this spring to institute a new severance tax on horizontal shale drilling, House GOP leaders recently worked out a new proposal with the oil and gas industry. The plan also includes a 50 percent tax cut for traditional wells, an exemption from the state commercial-activities tax for those paying the new severance tax, and an income-tax credit for mostly smaller drilling companies operating as pass-through entities.
"In order to be a modern oil-producing state, this issue needs to get resolved," Rep. Matt Huffman, R-Lima, the bill sponsor, told the House Ways and Means Committee. "This proposal seems to be a pretty moderate way of doing that."
House Bill 375, which Huffman hopes to see pass in early 2014, includes a 1 percent tax on gross receipts for the first five years of production. The tax rate rises to 2 percent until production drops below marginal levels, at which time it reverts to 1 percent.
Kasich's proposal would have taxed oil and natural-gas liquids at 1.5 percent; the tax rate would have risen to 4 percent when startup costs were recovered, after one or two years of production. Kasich said it was a competitive rate.
The latest proposal is lower than the tax rates in a lot of other states, and roughly the same as in Pennsylvania, Huffman said. That would ensure that oil and gas investors want to come to Ohio, he said.
"If we overtax it, no one is going to come," said Rep. Peter Beck, R-Mason, the committee chairman.
Rep. Mike Foley, D-Cleveland, noted that Ohio's Utica shale appears to hold significant amounts of "wet" natural gas and high-quality oil that is more valuable than the resources in many other states. If that is the case, he argued, the state should not be concerned about charging more.
"If our stuff is more valuable, it may not be bad to have a higher rate," Foley said. "Investors are looking for places where there is wet gas. We've got it. They are not coming here because of taxes — they are coming here because we have a product they can make big money on."
Revenue from the new severance tax would be divided among oil and gas regulation, the capping of thousands of orphaned wells around the state, and an annual state income-tax cut.
Rep. Tom Letson of Warren, the top-ranking Democrat on the committee, questioned why the bill sends no money to local governments or schools. "We're giving tax breaks to people that probably don't need tax breaks," he said.
Huffman said the income tax is the worst tax a government can impose. "The more that we can do to lift the burden of income tax for all Ohioans, the better off we are."

Ok so here's the situation. I am a bridesmaid in my best friend's wedding in a few weeks. The wedding is 'back home' which is an hour and a half drive from where I am now. DH and DD will be coming with to the wedding as well, but over the course of two days (rehersal, and actual wedding day) DD will need a few bottles. I don't pump everyday - usually only if there's a reason to. I have a small stash of frozen bm in the freezer. Can I transport that milk to my mom's (where we'll be staying) in a cooler? If it's still frozen when I put it in the cooler and put it in the fridge as soon as we get there (1.5 hrs later). I'm still waiting on the schedule to figure out how many bottle I'll need to bring, but I know we'll need some because my mom will be watching DD during part of the reception (they are having a child-free dinner). My only other option is to pump like mad every chance I get the week leading up to the wedding so that I have some fresh milk (refrigerated milk) to bring instead... but 'every chance I get' isn't often. (Also if I did do this how long would t take for my supply to adjust? I wouldn't want DD not to get enough milk that week because I'm suddenly pumping alot).
I'm a llittle stressed about this - can you tell?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The Enterprise discovers a ship that crashed on a Dyson sphere more than seventy-five years prior with a single survivor suspended in the transporter buffer: Captain Montgomery Scott.
The USS Enterprise-D picks up a distress call from the USS Jenolan, a transport vessel that has been missing for seventy-five years. As the Enterprise drops out of warp to respond to the signal, the starship is rocked violently by a massive gravitational field. Although initial scans do not find the source of the field, they trace the field to its center and discover a massive spherical structure, two hundred million kilometers in diameter (or two-thirds of the Earth's orbit around the Sun). The sphere's dimensions are consistent with those of the (until then) theoretical structure known as a Dyson sphere. The sphere's size creates massive gravimetric interference that interferes with sensors, preventing the Enterprise from locating it before the ship had dropped out of warp.
The Enterprise locates the Jenolan, having crashed on the surface of the sphere. Surprisingly, power readings are still emanating from the crashed ship and life support systems are still operating. Commander Riker, Lieutenant Commander La Forge and Lieutenant Worf beam aboard the Jenolan and find that, although some of the ship's systems are still functioning, there are no apparent signs of life. However, La Forge discovers that the transporters have been reconfigured in a strange manner – power has been drawn from the auxiliary systems (they were a regenerative power source) while the rematerialization subroutines have been intentionally disabled with the phase inducers being connected to the emitter array and that the pattern buffers have been locked in a diagnostic cycle. Furthermore, a pattern is still in the buffer and, amazingly, it has suffered almost no degradation. Riker wonders if someone could survive in the transporter buffer for seventy-five years and La Forge finds out by rematerializing the stored pattern. Captain Montgomery "Scotty" Scott materializes on the transporter pad.
Act OneEdit
After Scott thanks La Forge for rematerializing him, he runs over to the transporter console and attempts to retrieve a second pattern, that of Ensign Matt Franklin, but unfortunately, one of the phase inducers has failed and the transporters cannot compensate – Franklin's pattern has degraded too much for him to be rematerialized. Riker offers his condolences and introduces La Forge and himself to Scott. When Riker explains that they came from the starship Enterprise, Scott reacts understandably, believing he was saved by a crew led by Jim Kirk, and asks how long he was in the pattern buffers. Worf interrupts the conversation and Riker introduces the security officer to Scott. Learning that there is a Klingon serving in Starfleet, Scott realizes that he has been in the buffer for an extremely long time. When asked why he used the transporters to place himself and Franklin in such a state, Scott explains that although only he and Franklin survived the crash, there were too few supplies to survive long enough to be rescued.
After transporting back to the Enterprise, La Forge escorts Scott to sickbay while discussing some of the advances in technology over the past seventy-five years and the events leading to the Jenolan's crash. La Forge tells Scott that he is very impressed with his use of the transporter to survive, but Scott acts modestly, due to the fact that he lost his friend. In sickbay, Scott is diagnosed with only minor injuries. Captain Picard greets Scott in sickbay and is surprised that he was on board the Jenolan, as the engineer wasn't listed in the crew manifest. However, Scott explains that he was traveling aboard the Jenolan as a passenger to the Norpin colony on Norpin V to enjoy his retirement. When La Forge is ordered to study the Dyson sphere, Scott is eager to help, but Dr. Crusher advises him to rest. When Scott is escorted to his quarters by Ensign Kane, he is awe-struck at the luxury that he is entitled to, compared with starships of his time period. Scott, with much enthusiasm, reminisces to Kane about his years in Starfleet, but Kane has little interest in Scott's nostalgia and returns to duty, leaving Scott alone, feeling much less enthusiastic and somewhat pensive about life in the 24th century.
Act TwoEdit
As La Forge and his team are working on their spectrographic analysis of the sphere, Scott interrupts, insisting on offering La Forge his assistance. La Forge skeptically accepts Scott's offer and the team begin their duties. Meanwhile, on the bridge, Data reports to Captain Picard that the sphere was built around a G-type star and that its interior surface provides an environment much like that of an M-Class planet, but there are no apparent signs of inhabitants. Picard orders for probes to be launched to speed up the scans of the sphere. Back in engineering, Scott finds further advances and changes in technology that in his era were dangerous. La Forge is quietly becoming irritated until Scott offers advice on how to deal with Starfleet captains. When La Forge finally voices his frustration and tells Scott that he is in the way, the older officer leaves engineering in a disgruntled state.
Later, Scott arrives in Ten Forward and orders a drink of Scotch whisky. He is repulsed when he tastes the drink, realizing that it is not "real" Scotch. Data approaches and tells Scott about the use of synthehol to replace alcohol in the majority of traditional spirits. Data offers Scott a "real" alcoholic drink from Guinan's personal supply, pulling out a bottle with a neon green liquid inside. After being asked by Scott what it is, Data attempts a rudimentary examination by sight, smell and taste, but cannot describe it any more precisely than, "it is green" (a reference to TOS: "By Any Other Name"). The engineer's reaction to this drink is much more pleasant.
Act ThreeEdit
In a slightly drunken state, with the bottle of green spirits and a glass in his hands, Scott arrives outside one of the holodecks and requests a simulation of the bridge of his ship. The computer states that his request is insufficient, so Scott angrily says he wants to see the bridge of the Enterprise. The computer then tells Scott that there have been five Federation starships with that name and asks Scott to specify by registry number. Scott then states in annoyance, "NCC one seven O one. No bloody A, B, C, or D." The computer accepts his instructions and creates an authentic replica of the bridge of the ship he served on for the longest duration. Scott fondly remembers his time aboard his former ship, even drinking a toast to his absent comrades. He sits down at his old engineering station and gives a deep, dejected sigh just as Captain Picard walks in after coming off duty and excuses himself for interrupting. Scott perks up and welcomes him into the simulation, offering Picard a drink, which he happily accepts. Just as Scott is about to warn Picard of the drinks' strength, Picard downs a glassful, which he instantly recognizes as Aldebaran whiskey and tells Scott he was the one who gave it to Guinan. Picard recognizes the bridge as that of a Constitution-class starship and explains that there's one in the fleet museum. Picard then recognizes the bridge as that of Scott's Enterprise. Scott then says he served on two, but this is the first one and the first ship he ever served on as chief engineer. Scott mentions that he served on eleven ships of varying class, but that Enterprise is the only one he misses or thinks about. Picard then recalls his first command on the USS Stargazer. Picard describes the Stargazer as overworked, underpowered and always on the verge of flying apart at the seams. Picard says that while his Enterprise is far superior, there are days when he'd give almost anything to command the Stargazer again. Scott compares their feelings as to the first time a man falls in love and that he never loves a woman quite the same way. They then share a toast to the original Enterprise and to the Stargazer, Scott calling them "old girlfriends we'll never meet again." Picard then asks Scott what he thinks of the Enterprise-D. Scotty calls her a beauty, but laments that when he was on his Enterprise he could tell the speed of the ship by the feel of the deck plates. He then begins to feel gloomy and opines that he is in the way and obsolete in the 24th century. When Picard offers to let Scott peruse the updated technical manuals, Scotty refuses, saying that he can't start out again like a raw cadet. He says there is a time when a man knows it's time to quit and time to stop living in the past. He then shuts off the bridge simulation and leaves the holodeck feeling dejected but determined to start acting his age. Picard can only look on sadly as the legendary engineer exits, clearly feeling for the man.
The following day, Picard asks La Forge about recovering the logs of the Jenolan, but the engineer says that all efforts so far have yielded very little as the ship's computer core was heavily damaged when it crashed. Picard suggests having Scott assist in trying to recover the ship's logs; La Forge agrees that Scott would be of great help as he knows the Jenolan's systems better than anybody on the Enterprise and says that he'll send Lt. Bartel with Scott over to the Jenolan. At this point, the captain asks that La Forge personally accompany Scott back to the Jenolan to recover the ship's logs, hoping to make Scott feel useful again. While Picard makes it clear that this is a request, not an order, La Forge understands the captain's motive and gladly accepts.
In the morning, La Forge waits in the transporter room for Scott, who is late. He finally arrives and apologizes as they immediately enter the transporter, mentioning that he has a bit of a hangover. As La Forge and Scott transport over to the Jenolan, Data discovers a communications array in close proximity to the Enterprise's current location, and the crew set a course for it. As the Enterprise arrives at the array, the crew discovers a large hatch in the Dyson sphere, which they presume is a front door. As they open hailing frequencies, the hatch opens and a series of powerful tractor beams pull the Enterprise inside the sphere, easily overpowering it.
Act FourEdit
Due to the fact that the resonance frequency of the tractor beams used to pull the Enterprise inside is incompatible with the starship's power systems, the relays for the warp and impulse drive overload and are rendered inoperable. The Enterprise has now lost primary and auxiliary systems and the ship is soon released from the tractor beams. However, because the Enterprise is still moving under the inertia of being towed in, it is heading directly for the star at the center of the sphere.
Back on board the Jenolan, Scott is having trouble with recovering the ship's log, calling it "garbage." La Forge realizes that Scott is referring to both himself and the ship and tries to console him by saying that the basics of technology haven't changed a great deal in seventy-five years, the transporters of the Jenolan are virtually identical to those of the Enterprise, subspace radio and sensors work on the same basic principles and that impulse engine design has changed little in two centuries – long before Scott's time. La Forge adds that the Jenolan would probably still be in service had the vessel's structural damage not been so extensive. Scott is dismissive and retorts that nobody would want something as old as the Jenolan (and again hints at himself as well) but La Forge disagrees, saying that if the ship were in service, it could still "run circles around the Enterprise at impulse speeds – just because something's old, doesn't mean you throw it away." Scott feels much more welcome and a bond begins to form between him and La Forge. However, the moment breaks as Scott moves back to the console he was working on. He asks La Forge to retrieve a dynamic mode converter from the Enterprise, a tool which may help to recover the Jenolan's log entries. La Forge suggests using something similar but his call to the Enterprise goes unanswered.
Back on board the Enterprise, the ship is three minutes from being destroyed by the star. However, Commander Riker has managed to restore thirty percent power to the maneuvering thrusters, although they will still not be enough to save the ship from destruction. It is not until power is diverted from the auxiliary relay systems to the thrusters that the starship manages to achieve a stable orbit in the photosphere of the star. Picard demands to know why the Enterprise was towed in and orders a scan of the sphere's interior for lifeforms. When La Forge and Scotty fail to locate the Enterprise, they realize that the starship must be inside the sphere. Although it seems impossible to repair the Jenolan's flight capability, the two engineers still try restoring power to the ship's engines.
On board the Enterprise, Data reports to Picard that the sphere is abandoned and the star is highly unstable, expelling matter and severe bursts of radiation. This explains why the inhabitants of the sphere abandoned it. The android postulates that the Enterprise may have unintentionally triggered an automated series of piloting beams which would guide a starship inside the sphere – this would explain why the Enterprise was pulled inside without anyone occupying the sphere. When the star emits a solar flare, the Enterprise raises her shields accordingly but the vessel's shields are only operating at 23%. To worsen matters, the solar flares are becoming larger and within three hours, the Enterprise's shields will no longer protect the starship.
Act FiveEdit
La Forge and Scott work on repairing the Jenolan's engines by jury-rigging the ship's supply of deuterium – La Forge initially insists that Scott's suggestion to send it through the auxiliary tank can't be done, but when he cites impulse engine specifications, Scott laughs, claims authorship of the regulation in question, and assures him that, while he knew the tank could handle the pressure, on paper a good engineer should be more cautious than in the field. Eventually, they are successful as power is restored. When Scott offers La Forge the command chair, La Forge is surprised as Scott is the senior officer. However, Scott tells La Forge that, while he holds the rank of captain, all he ever wanted to be was an engineer, and insists that La Forge take command of the Jenolan. La Forge finally accepts and Scott moves to the engineering console. Meanwhile, the Enterprise is heavily damaged by the star's solar flares, but Riker reports that partial impulse power has been restored. Picard asks Worf if the ship's phasers could be used to cut a hole through the shell of the sphere, allowing the Enterprise to escape, but the sphere is composed of carbon-neutronium and phasers (or any other of the ship's weapons) would be completely ineffective.
As the Jenolan slowly orbits the sphere, La Forge and Scott trace the impulse ion trail from the Enterprise to the hatch that the starship was pulled into. The ion trail's momentum distribution around the hatch suggests that the Enterprise's impulse engines were at full reverse and that the starship was dragged into the sphere unwillingly. La Forge and Scott realize that the hatches are access terminals (and not communications arrays), which are triggered by certain subspace frequencies, such as hailing frequencies. When the Jenolan opened hailing frequencies seventy-five years ago, the tractor beams locked on to the ship, severely damaging it and causing the vessel to crash on the surface of the sphere. Scott suggests positioning the Jenolan 500,000 kilometers, far enough away from the hatch, then opening hailing frequencies so that the hatch will open but the tractor beams will miss the ship. As the hatch would begin to close, the Jenolan would enter a gap between the doors and use the vessel's shields to hold the doors open for the Enterprise to exit the sphere. La Forge dismisses the idea as suicidal, but Scott pleads to him that the theory will work. Eventually, La Forge makes the decision to go ahead with Scott's plan.
The engineers wedge the Jenolan between the doors, the shields hold and La Forge manages to open a communications channel to the Enterprise. The starship receives the hail and sets a course for the hatch. The Jenolan suffers heavy damage while the craft is wedged in the hatch and La Forge tells Picard that the Enterprise will have to destroy the ship to escape. When the Enterprise is in transporter range of the Jenolan, Picard gives the order to beam La Forge and Scott back on board (with the Jenolan's shields still raised) and fire photon torpedoes, destroying the Jenolan. The doors continue to close, but the Enterprise manages to exit the sphere. As La Forge and Scott walk off the transporter pad, Scott is cheerfully relieved to be returned to safety.
- "Captain's log, stardate 46125.3. Starfleet has dispatched two science vessels to study the Dyson sphere while we proceed to Starbase 55."
Later, La Forge tells Scott about the Enterprise's encounter with a newborn lifeform on stardate 44614.6. (TNG: "Galaxy's Child") It is obvious that a strong bond has formed between the two engineers. Scott was expecting La Forge to take him for a drink, but La Forge had different intentions. As they walk through the doors to Enterprise's shuttlebay, the senior staff is revealed, standing in front of a shuttlecraft, the Goddard. Picard offers Scott the craft on "an extended loan" basis in thanks for sacrificing the Jenolan to save the Enterprise. Scott says that he won't be going to the Norpin colony as he had first planned. The senior staff bids Scott farewell. Scott reveals his approval of the Enterprise-D and the starship's engineer. After shaking La Forge's hand, he departs the ship in his new shuttlecraft.

- - Scotty, offering La Forge advice on handling Starfleet captains
"I told the Captain I would have this diagnostic done in an hour."
"And how long will it really take you?"
"An hour!"
"Oh, you didn't tell him how long it would really take, did you?"
"Of course I did."
"Oh, laddie, you have a lot to learn if you want people to think of you as a miracle worker."
- - La Forge and Scotty
"I was drivin' starships while your GREAT-GRANDFATHER was still in diapers! I think you'd be a little grateful for some help! I'll leave ya to work, Mr. La Forge."
- - Scotty, to La Forge, after being told that he is in the way
" Laddie, I was drinking scotch a hundred years before you were born. And I can tell you that whatever this is, it is definitely not scotch."
- - Scotty, after drinking synthehol
"Synthetic scotch, synthetic commanders..."
- - Scotty, aloud to himself on synthehol and Data
"It is... it is... it is green."

"... Here's to ya', lads..."
- - Scotty, on the holodeck recreation of the empty bridge of the Enterprise (NCC-1701), raising a toast to his long-gone crewmates
"Would you have a drink with me, Captain?"
"Thank you!"
"I don't know what it is, exactly, but I would be real careful, it's real..." (Picard downs it in one gulp before he can heed this warning)
"Aldeberan whiskey... (noting the surprise on Scotty's face)... who do you think gave it to Guinan?"
- - Scotty and Picard
"Ah, it's like the first time you fall in love. You never love a woman quite like that again. To the Enterprise and the Stargazer – old girlfriends we'll never meet again."
- - Scotty, discussing with Captain Picard the ships on which they first served as chief engineer and captain, respectively
"When I was here, I could tell ya the speed that we were travelin' by the feel of the deck plates."
- - Scotty, talking about his his Enterprise (NCC-1701), compared to the Enterprise-D

- - Scotty, to Picard on the recreated NCC-1701 bridge
"Computer, shut this bloody thing off!"

"Where'd you get that idea?"
"What do you mean, where did I get that idea? It's in the impulse engine specifications."
"Regulations 42/15: 'Pressure Variances in IRC Tank Storage'?"
"Forget it. I wrote it...A good engineer is always a wee bit conservative, at least on paper."
- - La Forge and Scotty
"Take the bridge, commander."
"Oh no... you're the senior officer here."
"Oh, I may be captain by rank... but I never wanted to be anything else but an engineer."
- - Scotty and La Forge
"I have spent my whole life trying to figure out crazy ways of doing things."
- - Scotty to La Forge
"A good crew... and a fine ship – a credit to her name. But I've always found that a ship is... only as good as the engineer who takes care of her – and from what I can see, the Enterprise is in good hands."
- - Scotty's parting words to La Forge
Background information Edit
Story and production Edit
- "Relics" was filmed in early August 1992. LeVar Burton and James Doohan were interviewed on set and parts of this interview can be seen in "Mission Overview Year Six - A Visit from Scotty", a special feature on the TNG Season 6 DVD.
- The writers considered other characters from TOS, including Kirk, before selecting Montgomery Scott for this episode. As Ronald D. Moore claims in the Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion, "McCoy is old, Spock's playing James Bond on Romulus – and we couldn't do Kirk; it would raise too many other things. Nothing against the other characters, but Scotty seemed like the one with the most fun quotient."
- As originally scripted, Scotty was to have interacted on the recreated bridge with his old shipmates, via clips from The Original Series. This was cut for budgetary reasons. (The "Relics" novelization does show Scotty interacting with the rest of his shipmates in a new setting and even Picard participates for a while when he comes to visit Scotty.) The producers ultimately did get to combine TOS footage with "present-day" action, in DS9: "Trials and Tribble-ations", which featured both Scotty (in archive footage) and Worf.
- The theory behind the Dyson sphere is a real postulate made by Freeman Dyson in 1959, although the actual sphere that Dyson theorized was not a solid object like the one that was postulated in the episode. (Dyson himself, who does not take the idea seriously, said in an interview that, while the science behind it was "nonsense", as a TV viewer he enjoyed the episode.)[1]
- This is the first episode of Star Trek to be directed by Alexander Singer.
- It does appear a tad incongruous that, as she never interacted with him anywhere during the final episode, Troi would kiss Scott goodbye. A scene with Troi talking to Scott in his quarters was shot, but deleted from the final episode. Moore explained, "It basically has Troi coming to counsel Scotty, and at first he's very friendly to her, but then realizes she's a therapist and gets pissed that Geordi thinks he's crazy. It was this scene that sent him to Ten Forward to get a drink." (AOL chat, 1998) The scene appears in the novelization.
- Prior to writing this episode, Ron Moore attended the Holodiction Star Trek Convention in Sydney, Australia. He and his party were taken to a nightspot where Ron's dancing caused him to be labelled "a rager" (Aussie slang at the time for a party animal). They were later taken to the famous Jenolan Caves, which impressed Ron greatly. On returning, he wrote this episode, which contained an "Ensign Rager" (Captain Picard pronounced it "ray-guh"), and the USS Jenolen (sic), a Sydney-class transport. (Astrex newsletter)
- First UK airdate: 2 August 1995
Continuity Edit
- "Relics" makes many references to TOS, including the episodes "Elaan of Troyius", "Wolf in the Fold", and "The Naked Time", representing each of the three seasons of TOS, as well as Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, Star Trek V: The Final Frontier and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (since Scotty tells Picard he served on two different Enterprises). In return, at the end of the episode, La Forge tells Scotty about the events of "Galaxy's Child", which occurred two seasons before.
- Scotty scolds Geordi for being honest with the Captain and telling him exactly what to expect instead of making him expecting less and then offering more. Indeed, in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier he hints to Kirk that he might overstate some problems to make a better name of himself after he solves them.
- Data's line about the Aldebaran whiskey – "It is green" – is a reference to TOS: "By Any Other Name", in which Scotty had a similar line describing an alcoholic beverage while getting the Kelvan Tomar drunk. (Star Trek Encyclopedia)
- There is an inconsistency between this episode and scenes in Star Trek Generations which were written and filmed after it but set before it. In Generations, Captain James T. Kirk was presumed dead on the USS Enterprise-B's maiden voyage. This takes place before Scotty boarded the Jenolan to go to the Norpin colony. However when Scotty is beamed back on board the Jenolan in "Relics" he says "The Enterprise... I shoulda known. And I'll bet it was Jim Kirk himself who hauled the old girl out of mothballs to come looking for me", suggesting that Kirk was still alive when Scotty was en route to the Norpin colony. StarTrek.com attributes the conflicting line of dialog in "Relics" to the character being momentarily disoriented after having been stuck inside the transporter system of the Jenolan for three quarters of a century. [2] In the unofficial continuity of William Shatner's novels involving Kirk's resurrection in the 24th century, in the novel The Return, a comment is made that Scotty, along with a few others, had held the belief that Kirk had somehow survived the events aboard the Enterprise-B.
Episode writer and Generations co-writer Ronald D. Moore has stated that he included Scotty in Generations out of affection for the character, in full knowledge of and despite the inconsistency. (AOL chat, 1997)
In the novelization of Generations, Guinan tells a distraught Chekov that Kirk is, in fact, alive within the Nexus ribbon.
- Note that La Forge and Scotty are beamed off of the USS Jenolan before it is destroyed, despite the fact that they did not drop the ship's shields to allow transport beforehand. The Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion mentions this error and that the error wasn't discovered by the staff until after the episode aired. It has since been retcon-attributed to the shields being focused fully fore and aft to hold the doors, allowing transport as the remainder of the ship was uncovered.
- This is the second episode in which the crew discover and rescue a 23rd century Starfleet captain, initially unaware of the passage of time. The first was Captain Morgan Bateson, along with the crew of the USS Bozeman in "Cause and Effect".
- This episode shows Troi wearing a new hairstyle. This style is a low pony tail, with curls framing her face. This style is kept for several episodes before the style changes again in "The Quality of Life".
Sets and props Edit
- The visual and sound effects of the USS Jenolan's transporter are directly taken from those of the Enterprise's transporter in The Original Series.
- According to the text commentary for Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, the model of the Jenolan was originally a shuttle for The Undiscovered Country and was altered to become the downed vessel. (see Studio models (films)#SD-103)
- When Scotty first enters the holodeck, there is another red alert light visible behind him that was not present on the original bridge set. In terms of filming, the set designers removed the dedication plaque from the turbolift foyer to create the illusion of a different part of the bridge and to save money on building more of the set.
- The replicas of the captain's chair and helm, and navigational console were built by Steve Horch for convention purposes. [3] Discovered by Michael Okuda, they were rented for the recreation of the original bridge, and from a budgetary standpoint were instrumental in pulling off the recreation. (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion, 3rd. ed., p. 219) Returned to Horch after use, the set pieces continued their existence as tour displays.
- The scene of the original Enterprise was made by "looping" footage of the empty bridge seen in "This Side of Paradise", and bluescreening it behind Doohan. Because of this, only small parts of the set had to be built. Ironically, Doohan does not appear in the episode in which the shot is taken from. The shot of the original viewscreen (with no one sitting at the helm/navigation console) was recycled from TOS: "The Mark of Gideon". (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion)
- The Dyson sphere was named after scientist Freeman Dyson and the model was built by Gregory Jein. The model of the USS Jenolen was built by Bill George at ILM for use in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country and reused for this episode. (Michael Okuda, "Departmental Briefing Year Six - Production", TNG Season 6 DVD special feature)
Cast and characters Edit
- James Doohan is the fourth and final actor from The Original Series to reprise his role in The Next Generation. DeForest Kelley appeared in "Encounter at Farpoint", Mark Lenard appeared in "Sarek" and "Unification I", and Leonard Nimoy appeared in "Unification I" and "Unification II". During the first season of The Next Generation, Doohan had strong words about the series, believing it to be rehashing a number of episodes the classic series had done. It was not until his family made him sit down and watch The Next Generation did he finally appreciate the new series.
Reception Edit
- A novelization of the episode by Michael Jan Friedman was published by Pocket Books.
- This episode was featured in the Star Trek: The Next Generation Viewers Choice Marathon, where it was ranked the fifth favorite episode based on voting from fans.
- The book Star Trek 101, by Terry J. Erdmann and Paula M. Block, lists this episode as one of the "Ten Essential Episodes" from Star Trek: The Next Generation.
- This story is followed up in three separate comic book stories:
- "Out of Time", in which Scott helps Morgan Bateson cope with being lost and out of time,
- "Old Debts", in which Scott encounters Koloth before the events of "Blood Oath", and
- "The Wake", in which Scott (and Spock) visit with McCoy on his deathbed.

Freedom New Mexico
Perhaps the only reassuring aspect about conditions in Pakistan after the resignation Monday of former President Pervez Musharraf is that most authorities believe Pakistan's nuclear arsenal is reasonably secure. The military controls the nuclear components, which are held separately rather than as assembled weapons, and a 10-member committee decides how to use them.
Musharraf gave up his position in the face of threats to impeach him and disappearing popular and political support.
While Pakistan's political scene has been in considerable disarray for some time and could become even more confused and confusing for the immediate future, the military is still reasonably stable, and army chief Gen. Ashfaq Parvaz Kayani has said he is keeping the military out of politics — for now.
Staying aloof probably made Musharraf's decision all the more inevitable, and Gen. Kayani undoubtedly knew that.
Khalid Kidwai, head of the Strategic Plans Division, which handles the nukes, told reporters that 10,000 soldiers are assigned to safeguarding the weapons, and the United States has contributed some $10 million to enhance security.
It is probably the only part of the $10 billion-$12 billion that the United States has given to Pakistan since 9/11 that hasn't been either wasted or counterproductive.
It may be unseemly to speak ill of the politically departed, but Pervez Musharraf, who decided after 9/11 (and a brisk talking-to by Colin Powell) to become a U.S. ally in the misconceived "war on terror" was a shaky ally at best. It wasn't so much that he was playing a double game, as some critics complained, but that he had many factions to deal with in a notoriously unstable country.
Despite his taking power in a military coup in 1999 and last year suspending the constitution, firing judges and ruling by emergency decree, he never had full control even of Pakistan's government. Many elements in Pakistan, not just Taliban and al-Qaida sympathizers, criticized him as a lapdog of President Bush, and he had to maneuver. And like many military people, he was never a very deft politician. Consequently his party lost big in parliamentary elections in February, and his effective power since has been declining.
Musharraf will not be missed, but the new government in Pakistan is hardly a government at all. The "coalition" that won in February, consisting of parties led by former prime minister Nawaz Sharif and Asif Ali Zardari, widower of the assassinated former prime minister Benazir Bhutto, was united in despising

Lone Coyote? itscrazytime posted:10/30/2011 9:43:32 AM O.k., I woke up this morning with a single set of animal prints going through my back yard.They came up from the woods, through the field. It could be a lone coyote, or proof of my big cat problem. I'm no good with animal tracks. They are pretty good sized tracks. For comparison, I took a picture of my dogs track also. She is a medium sized dog and weighs about 60 pounds. I had a really good print where you could see the pads, but my daughter came over and very thoughtfully kicked snow in it...lol. I used my boot for comparison. I wear a 7 1/2. The mystery animal print is walking in the opposite direction as my foot is pointing. MY dogs print, for comparisonhttp://img684.imageshack.us/img684/296/puppyprint1.jpg Mystery animalhttp://img513.imageshack.us/img513/5961/mysteryprint2.jpgitscrazytime posted:10/30/2011 9:49:18 AM I wanted to add that there was just 1 animal.Omen502 posted:10/30/2011 12:55:26 PM well I would have to see in person. As I have no clue what that white stuff is?JOSMAN087 posted:10/31/2011 3:54:18 AM whatever it was was running in the direction of your foot, but i would have to see more than one track. Its possible to be a bobcat track.http://www.bigcats.com/randomcatpictures.php?409748c56baff0701179bb4f89f278dd itscrazytime posted:10/31/2011 8:19:40 AM There was like 2 feet in between footprints. The cat we've been seeing is black, good sized, but it has a tail. Canada Lynx can be black or dark gray, but they have no tail. It's odd.LincolnGenghis posted:10/31/2011 1:59:02 PM Yeah its kind of hard to tell with the snow tracks with one image. easiest are tracks in moist dirt or mud. The one thing that might give you a clue on the tracks is if you have a whole line of them thru your yard, look at the spacing between the right and left paws. Most cats big and small kind of leave tracks that are really close togather (Left to right paws) almost like they are walking on some invisable balencing beem or tight rope or doing a sobriety test for a state trooper. lol:Now judging by your dogs prints that look smaller then the unknown prints, If the right to left steps are closer togather then what your smaller dog leaves in the snow I would put my money on a cat (And not a cute cuddly domestic one. Although they all seem to share some of the same traits, house cats are just not big enough to eat us.)itscrazytime posted:10/31/2011 8:05:41 PM You know, it's funny you say that Michael, because it was like they were walking a tight rope. It was almost like it only had 2 legs...in a line.LincolnGenghis posted:11/1/2011 3:20:59 AM Then thats got to be a cat. And looking from the one footprint I saw, its a hell of lot bigger then your dog and could be meaner also. There are some Bears because of the shear upper body size in the sholders and legs they walk kind of like that (the arms and legs kind of bow in a bit) but cats all have this weird precise deliberate walk to them and sometimes the paw prints from both sides fit in the same tracks (That is house cats up to lions ). that is what I love about cats they are a hunters hunter. if we did not have weapons they would truely be the top of the food chain.

State Superintendent celebrates success of 19 Illinois Honor Roll Schools in Barrington and Elgin
Annual list recognizes improving and high-performing schools across the state
BARRINGTON – Illinois State Superintendent of Education Christopher A. Koch recognized 19 Barrington and Elgin Schools today for being named to the 2008 Illinois Honor Roll.
"Making the Illinois Honor Roll represents the hard work and dedication put forth in the classroom and at home everyday,'' said Superintendent Koch. "It is an achievement that principals, teachers, parents and students should celebrate together.''
Nine Barrington Community Unit School District 220 schools were honored at a 10:45 a.m. all-school assembly at Countryside Elementary School. Ten Elgin U-46 Schools were honored at 1:45 p.m. at Abbott Middle School.
The 2008 Illinois Honor Roll includes 989 schools that are being recognized for their continued academic progress. The honor roll is divided into three categories – Spotlight Schools; Academic Excellence and Academic Improvement. Each award has unique criteria that best reflect the diverse circumstances of Illinois schools.
- Spotlight Schools – Recognizes 499 high-poverty, high-performing schools in 2008 that are beating the odds to overcome the achievement gap. At least 50 percent of students in these schools are from low-income families and at least 62.5 percent of students met or exceeded standards in both reading and mathematics.
- Academic Improvement Awards – Notes 153 schools that are showing substantial gains over three years.
- Academic Excellence Awards – Honors 388 schools that have maintained high performance over at least three years.
The schools honored:
Barrington Community Unit School District 220
Elgin School District Unit 46 Schools
The 2008 honor roll roster includes elementary, middle and high schools, including charter schools, and represents 345 school districts statewide. Suburban schools represent 43 percent of the Honor Roll schools, downstate schools account for another 40 percent and Chicago schools make up the final 17 percent this year. The 989 schools earned a total of 1,040 awards in the three categories.
Developed by Northern Illinois University and ISBE in 2003-4, the Illinois Honor Roll is created each year at NIU. A complete listing of the 2008 Illinois Honor Roll Schools can be found online at http://www.ilhonorroll.niu.edu/

The Eagle Ford Shale is quite possibly the largest single economic development in the history of the state of Texas and ranks as the largest oil and gas development in the world based on capital invested. Almost $30 billion was spent developing the play in 2013. The play had more than a $60 billion dollar impact on the local South Texas economy in 2012 and over 116,000 Eagle Ford jobs were supported in the 20 county area impacted by the play. Add the jobs created in surrounding counties and the picture of a modern oil boom begins to take shape.
The formation is best known for producing variable amounts of dry gas, wet gas, NGLs, condensate and oil. The most active area lies above the Edwards Reef Trend where the formation yields a gas-condensate production stream. Unlike many other shale plays, it does not exhibit natural fracturing within the formation.

History of the Peace Corps in the Eastern Caribbean
|History of the Peace Corps
|Since 1960, when then Senator John F. Kennedy challenged students at the University of Michigan to serve their country in the cause of peace by living and working in developing countries, more than 182,000 Peace Corps Volunteers have served in 138 countries all over the globe.
See also:
The Peace Corps entered the Eastern Caribbean in 1961, when St. Lucia became one of the first countries in the world to receive Volunteers. Since then, approximately 3,300 Peace Corps Volunteers have served on various island nations in the region. Volunteers were initially assigned to education, agriculture, health, youth, and community development projects. The contributions of Volunteers in these areas have provided strong and consistent technical support to the Eastern Caribbean for more than 40 years. Basic human needs programming in the 1970s encouraged health, special education, preschool education, teacher training, forestry, fishery, and livestock extension projects. The 1980s were a period that focused on four projects: education, health, agriculture, and small enterprise development. At the beginning of the 1990s, education, environment, health, and youth initiatives were priorities. Peace Corps/Eastern Caribbean has made significant progress since January 1991 to establish project-based programming and to provide focus to the program. After concluding an assessment of the program in 1993, efforts focused on developing partnerships with nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and moving steadily away from formal education into educational projects targeting at-risk youth.
Peace Corps Volunteers currently serve in six island nations in the Eastern Caribbean: (1) Antigua and Barbuda, (2) Dominica, (3) Grenada, Carriacou, and Petit Martinique, (4) St. Kitts and Nevis, (5) St. Lucia, and (6) St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
History and Future of Peace Corps Programming in the Eastern Caribbean
Programming on each island nation of Peace Corps/Eastern Caribbean is guided by the development priorities of the various governments and their ministries, as expressed in official plans and budget documents. With these partners, Peace Corps/Eastern Caribbean periodically reviews programming on each island nation to ensure continuing appropriate focus and direction.
At present, the major focus of Peace Corps /Eastern Caribbean is on improving the quality of life of disenfranchised and low-income communities by assisting in their transformation from recipients of aid into partners in change. Volunteer activities are aimed primarily at assisting communities in identifying, evaluating, and developing solutions to the many challenges they face. In responding to needs and priorities identified by their communities, Volunteers may be involved in a wide range of activities, including strengthening the capacity of community-based organizations and ministries working at the community level, raising awareness about HIV/AIDS and other chronic diseases, and enhancing educational and employment skills by emphasizing skills transfer in the areas of special education, literacy, and service learning. Peace Corps is considered by many government officials to be a leader in addressing the social and economic problems resulting from high unemployment, drug and alcohol abuse, and unhealthy lifestyle choices among community members in the Eastern Caribbean.
The integrated community development program in the Eastern Caribbean addresses community needs and provides Volunteers with the flexibility to find the projects and programs where community needs and Volunteers skills and interests intersect.. As a result, Volunteers are assigned to a community where they work directly with community stakeholders. In addition to a community placement, a few Volunteers may also be assigned to a specific organization or government agency. This, of course, requires careful planning and coordination to ensure that a Volunteer's primary focus on the community is maintained.
While all Volunteers will address the needs of the community where they have been placed, Volunteers over time will find their special niche in the areas of health, youth development, business, organizational strengthening, education, and service learning. Volunteers may train teachers in special education methodologies or assist national governments in organizing special education services for their students. Volunteers with a passion for business may coordinate Junior Achievement activities and promote entrepreneurship among various groups in their community. Other Volunteers may apply the behavior change communication (BCC) methodology to develop communication products and community outreach programs targeting HIV/AIDS and other problems, such as teenage pregnancy or drug use.

UK Sales: 0191 4181122 International:+44 191 4181133
Image may be provided for illustrative purposes only, please refer to the product description.
A range of high performance PCB mounting analogue audio transformers, manufactured in Sweden. Lundahl will design variations on existing types, or completely new constructions, to meet specific needs. All housing cans are mu-metal, and pin diameters are 1.1mm, recommended PCB drill 1.5mm.
Full data and application notes for each type are available from the Lundahl website at www.lundahl.se, or from Canford Technical Support.
In many splitting applications, the transformer must have a high immunity to common mode signals, to stray magnetic fields from eg. power transformers, and to large potential differences in receiving systems. This transformers uses Lundahl's well established two coil structure to create a transformer with a high degree of symmetry. It is built up from two primary windings (which should be used in parallel) and two secondary windings. Each secondary winding is built up from two sections, one from each coil, and a separate electrostatic shield surrounds each secondary section. This symmetric structure results in an internal cancellation of noise signals caused by external magnetic fields. It also increases immunity to ground noise between secondary systems and reduces the effect of input common mode signals. The transformer is designed so that a "direct" split can be connected in parallel across the input windings. Turns ratio 1:1+1. Dimensions: 38(l) x 24(w) x 20.5(h above PCB)mm. Weight: 61g.
A small sized mic input transformer, with a high permeability mu-metal core and two two-section coils with internal Faraday shields. Turns ratio 1+1:4. Dimensions: 26(l) x 17(w) x 12(h above PCB)mm. Weight: 18g.
This can be used for mic or line input, for line output, or for galvanic isolation. The windings are arranged to give perfect symmetry if the transformer is used in phase splitting input applications. The two coils structure also greatly improves the immunity to external magnetic fields from eg. power supplies and motors. Primary and secondary windings are separated by electrostatic shields. Turns ratio 1+1:1+1. Dimensions: 47(l) x 28(w) x 24(h above PCB)mm. Weight: 115g.
Special order product. Order cancellations may incur charges.

Press Release From the Office of State Senator Royce West - District 23
For Immediate Release CONTACT: Kelvin Bass 214-467-0123 March 2, 2009
(AUSTIN, TX) — Today, Senators Leticia Van de Putte (D-San Antonio), Kevin Eltife (R-Tyler), and Royce West (D-Dallas) filed legislation that would inject $2.6 billion into the state's school finance system and would increase equity among school districts by reducing recapture and returning state funding for school districts to a cost-based formula funding system.
School districts' level of operating revenue has been frozen at the 2006-2007 level. This means school districts have not received any additional state funding to meet inflationary costs or other cost increases. With no prospects of additional state funding and with school districts across the state facing budget shortfalls, many districts are being forced to cut programs, freeze salaries or lay-off teachers and staff in order to overcome the lack of sufficient state support.
S.B. 982 returns our school finance system to a cost-based, formula driven system, improves equity among all districts and children and reduces recapture. Under S.B. 982, everyone wins. Every school district is guaranteed a minimum increase of dollars and beginning in year two taxpayers receive property tax relief. S.B. 982 creates a structure for funding our schools based on our children's actual needs not on a fixed dollar amount that continues to minimize the Legislatures' obligation to fund a high quality education for its future generations.
"We must improve our school finance system, but we need to start with a strong foundation and structure. Without a strong foundation, nothing else is secure," said Van de Putte.
"Texas' once formula driven system of public school finance is now a target revenue system that has districts struggling to meet costs and provide quality education," said West.
"We need to provide a structure for funding our neighborhood schools, a structure that allows school districts to plan ahead and provides a constancy of resources," said Van de Putte.
"It is important to properly fund public education and this proposal increases equity while providing additional resources for all school districts," said Eltife.
"We need to return to a formula driven system, the small school component of that system is the life blood of rural schools," said Bill Grusendorf, Executive Director for Texas Association of Rural Schools.
"If the appropriation of taxpayer dollars in public education is "all about the children" then, we must have a public school finance system that ensures an equitable distribution of state tax dollars that is sensitive to the individual needs of students and projected workforce skill requirements of Texas," added West.
"The quality of our children's education should not be determined by where they live. Many of our leaders say that the children of this state are their top priority and I hope that their actions this session will match their words," added Van de Putte.

Twelve Steps to Healing
Cultivating the Healing State
by Tom Oates Jr. reprinted from
The CFIDS Chronicle, Summer 1995
Here Are 12 Concrete Things that I did every day that allowed me to reach a state that removed the roadblocks from my healing path.
1| Keeping A Journal
I kept a daily journal of what I did and how I felt physically, emotionally and mentally. I recorded my dreams consistently and reviewed them every few months to look for recurring themes, ideas, advice. A journal also helped identify what I had done earlier that caused a relapse. It was always a delayed reaction for me: I would feel better, go out and do something that I thought would help build my strength, and end up deep in the pillow for days after, wondering what happened. The journal sped up the learning curve and helped me to identify energy drains.
2| Categorize Everything In Your Life As Either Stressful Or Helpful
I categorized everything as either a stressor or a helper. I eliminated all toxins from my diet: tobacco, alcohol, caffeine, etc. I also found that it took all of my energy to digest a steak, so I dropped red meat. Dairy products seemed to bring me down so I eliminated them. However, pasta seemed to help, as did fresh juices. Even the air I breathed had to be free of dust and pollen.
3| Eliminate All Negativity
I eliminated all negativity. This one is tricky. By now you probably realize that your energy is the most precious commodity on Earth. Don't allow it to be drained by negative influences. I try not to engage negative people, places, attitudes, ideas or anything fear-based. I eliminated all mass media; it's all the same information. If something is negative (or only trying to sell you soap and cars), it will absolutely not help you to heal your life. I can't emphasize enough how important this is. I spent enough time out of the popular culture that I began to develop an internal dialogue that kept me on my healing path.
4| Read Uplifting Enlightening And Educational Books
I read uplifting books about mind-body health, listened to inspiring tapes and used a dream book that helped me decipher my dreams. The point is to focus on inspirational, positive and hopeful ideas.
5| Surrender To The Moment Through Joyful Creative Activity
When I had 15 minutes of feeling good, I used it to pursue something that I wanted to do, something that seemed to energize me without stressing or taxing my body. At first, I simply walked around the back yard taking photographs of the light on the trees and clouds. Then I began drawing and painting from these images. Then I was able to take one class at the local art college. Then two classes, etc.
6| Engage In Non-Aerobic Stretching Meditation Exercise
I exercised in a non-aerobic way that put me in touch with my body and made me concentrate. I learned a meditation exercise called Tai Kuk, a combination of Tai Chi and Yoga, and went to class when my energy level allowed.
7| Spend Time In Silence And Quiet
I spent time in silence and contemplation. I learned to be alone in silence for long periods of time. I was in a chronic state of ill health for a reason. It was my job to figure out what questions to ask.
8| Ask The Right Questions
I learned to ask the right questions. I spent two years asking self-pitying questions that wasted my energy such as: Why me? What can I take to get well? Will I ever be "normal" again? Finally, I began to ask health-inducing questions like: What are my talents? What do I enjoy doing the most? When these questions were answered, I began to ask: How can I develop my talents? How can I use the energy I have in a constructive and joyful way? After I had these answers, I pursued them the best that I could. It's the "do what you love and the health will follow" approach.
9| Suspend All Judgment Of Self And Others
I tried not to judge anything. Because I had been judged and incorrectly labeled by those who didn't understand this illness, I realized that you never know what people have been through.
10| Forgive Everybody Everything
I learned that you must forgive all, especially yourself. The Earth does not judge us as we tear it up, so don't judge yourself for being ill.
11| Love
Love all, especially yourself
12| Be Patient And Have Faith

I have been reading your posts with great interest and am so glad you have shared not only your deep feelings, but your plan for how to surrender and find healing with or without a cure. This is alot of what I am feeling too, as I find myself in a bad relapse right before Christmas. It is the same old feeling of having no control, watching my body slide down a big well with no way to stop myself from getting to the bottom. I thought those days were over with my treatment for Lyme giving me more energy and strength, but now I know they are not. I have been also ill with CFS for 17 yrs and spent alot of that time pushing and crashing~ ignoring my body and its needs until it gave me no choice. I think it is so wise of you to learn this so early in the illness and it has once again opened my eyes to changes I need to make. I have found both sites of the people you mentioned and plan to incorporate it into my life along with the self help group I am in online.
Hope that you are doing better, Terri, and have a wonderful Christmas with Daphne and all those you love and care about.
God bless

Probably one of the hardest things that we all have to achieve with this illness is "quieting the ego". Our ego's are way too dominant in our lives. Always worrying what other people thing of us. I have been a prisoner of that all of my life. Never feeling good enough and always putting others ahead of me. I sometimes think these illnesses are a way of our body's and soul's screaming for attention and begging us to "quiet the ego" - never lose faith that there is meaning behind what we are going through - it's the only way to heal...

Renee-Thank you for following my blog. Your support and comments are helpful and mean a lot. I'm glad you found those sites helpful too! I felt led to them as these were sites I'd never come across before. I think you are on the right path with treating the lyme. It's going to be a long road but you will find that you will have more and more days of energy and strength. I wish you a wonderful Christmas filled with peace and healing.

Hi Paula-
Thank you for your comments. I'm find myself apologizing to people for being sick and then realize I'm the one that's angry at myself for being sick, not them (at least most people).
Quieting the ego is tough. Thank you for your words about not losing faith that there is meaning in all of this...May you have a Holiday filled with peace and energy.
