Winter Texans pump up state's economy
Y'all Stay a While
Winter Texans--visitors from northern climes who call Texas "home" during the winter--drop in around the state every year. They are especially fond of the Rio Grande Valley, which draws about 127,000 such visitors annually, according to the University of Texas-Pan American's (UT-Pan Am) Tourism Research Center.
Their economic contribution to the region does not go unnoticed, according to Penny Simpson, director of the center.
"We estimated they spent $420 million in their time here [in 2005]," she said.
That is an increase of more than 27 percent from the $329 million Winter Texans spent during the winter of 1998-99, according to UT-Pan Am.
Some Winter Texans come for the weather and then decide not to leave. Mary Ann Van Vooren, of Alamo, has been a Texas resident for eight years since she moved from Kansas. She believes the Valley has the potential to become a retirement hot spot similar to states like Florida or Nevada, which saw its over-65 population grow by 15 percent from 2000 to 2003.
"This area is ripe for that kind of growth," Van Vooren said.
But before that can happen, Van Vooren said Texas needs stronger protection for these new Texans, who tend to live in manufactured homes in retirement parks or "villages." They may own that home, but not the land on which it sits, which can suddenly leave them looking for a new place to live.
Shaky ground
Van Vooren has lived in a manufactured home in Texas and has seen the park change ownership. Thankfully, she said, the new owner had no intention of closing down the park and changing the land's use. If he had, she said, there would likely have been little she or anyone else could have done about it.
"When you move into a park, you put down your own cement, your own sheds, you buy your home and install it," Van Vooren said. "You put maybe $40,000 into the place, so you're putting a substantial amount into it. But, if you don't own the land your house is on, they can evict you for just about anything they want to. You don't have a lot of rights."
Texas laws are lacking, Van Vooren said, in protecting the rights of manufactured homeowners, which number more than 775,000, according to the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs.
Exactly what to do for these homeowners--retired and non-retired--comes before the Texas Legislature each regular legislative session, and likely will again, according to Suzanne Henry of the Consumers Union's Austin office.
"Texas has very few tenant laws for manufactured housing," she said.
Laws requiring owners to give park residents the "right of first refusal," where tenants can purchase the park for fair market value before the owner accepts other offers, and providing up to six months' notice of a park's sale and closure, would be steps in the right direction, Henry said.
"It takes a long time to relocate, especially if it's in a hot market for real estate," she said.
Ownership is bliss
New Hampshire passed a law in 1988 that came on the heels of numerous park closures. The law required park owners to give residents 60 days' notice of the sale. That time window gives residents time to form a legal entity and become a co-op and attempt to purchase the park, according to Paul Bradley, vice president of the New Hampshire Community Loan Fund (Loan Fund).
"Community members have to be notified 60 days in advance of the sale," he said. "If they choose to, they can come to us at the Loan Fund and, if approved, they have the right to match the offer."
Started in 1983, the Loan Fund financed the first such community in 1984. More than $100 million, 72 communities and 3,500 home sites later, the Loan Fund has given New Hampshire residents a voice within their communities, Bradley said.
"Laws have evolved over 30 years due to activism by homeowners," he said. "Legislatures are left trying to balance the rights of homeowners and landowners and more often than not, they landed on the side of landowners."
The Loan Fund's success has caught the attention of nonprofit groups wanting to help manufactured homeowners around the country, including Texas, Bradley said.
"Texas is the biggest manufactured housing state in the country," he said. "I think they've been overwhelmed by that sector in Texas and have just basically hoped it would go away. Well, it's not going away."
The Loan Fund cannot loan money to communities in Texas but can offer training to interested groups.
"Our effort is to train nonprofit [groups] to help homeowners, not train homeowners directly," he said.
More information is available on the Loan Fund's Web site, www.nhclf.org.
Long, warm winter
Whether they're here for the winter or on permanent leave from colder areas, Winter Texans are good news for communities and businesses, according to Donna resident Jo Hyer, president of the Rio Grande Valley Chapter of the Texas RV (Recreational Vehicle) Association.
"From October to April, the Valley thrives on Winter Texans," she said. "There are a lot of restaurants in the area that are only open in the winter."
Martha's Taqueria, in Donna, relies on the winter influx of visitors, according to its owner, Martha Perez.
"We depend on them," Perez said. "We've been open nine years and always just worked the winter. If you come in, it's 99 percent Winter Texans."
Hyer sees the benefit to having more of the winter crowd hang around permanently.
"Well certainly it would boost the local economy year-round," she said.
In Florida, for example, residents older than 50 make up about one-third of the state's population, according to a 2000 study by the consulting firm Thomas, Warren and Associates. Those senior residents net Florida about $1.4 billion and help account for about 4 million jobs, the study found.
Van Vooren said that type of economic flow and job creation makes the Valley the destination of the future.
"The thing I think makes sense for Texas is the jobs it provides for local people," she said. "The people who work in these [retirement] parks and restaurants are local residents."
Van Vooren adds that the retired resident isn't likely to work on home maintenance and repair, but instead will hire local residents, skilled in whatever craft is needed.
"It's not like these people just appeared," she said of the retirees. "They've been around for 50 years and no one's done anything to get ready for them to retire. I think [having them here] would be a really good thing, and not just down here; it would benefit Texas."

Tristan und Isolde (Tristan and Isolde) is an opera in three acts by Richard Wagner to a German libretto by the composer, based largely on the romance by Gottfried von Strassburg, which in turn was based on the story of Tristan and Isolde as told in French by Thomas of Britain. It was composed between 1857 and 1859 and received its first performance in Munich on June 10, 1865. Many Wagnerian critics of the time claimed that the musical portion of the opera attained the highest summit of all music; on the other hand, an equally influential group of critics, centered around Eduard Hanslick, condemned the work as being incomprehensible.
The story of Tristan and Isolde was one of the quintessential romances of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Several versions exist, the earliest dating to the middle of the 12th century. Gottfried's version was of the so called "courtly" branch of the tradition, and had a huge influence on later German literature. [1] Gottfried's emphasis on themes of courtly love and chivalry informed Wagner's retelling.
Significance in the development of classical music
The very first chord in the piece is the so-called Tristan chord, often taken to be of great significance in the move away from traditional tonal harmony:
Sound sample
The music of Tristan und Isolde is also notable for its use of harmonic suspension: a musical device in which unfinished cadences lead to a desire on the part of the listener for resolution. This is a means of creating tension in music. While this device had been used on occasion by other composers, Wagner here uses harmonic suspension over the course of an entire opera. The unfinished cadences in the Prelude are not finally resolved until the very end of Act 3, and on a number of occasions during the opera the anticipated musical resolution is deferred. A particularly notable example of this occurs at the end of the love duet in Act 2 ("Wie sie Fassen, wie sie lassen...") where Tristan and Isolde gradually build up to a musical (and, some would say, sexual) climax, only to have the expected resolution destroyed by the dissonant interruption of Kurwenal ("Rette Dich, Tristan!"). The long-awaited completion of this series of cadences arrives only in the final Liebestod when Isolde, this time alone, works through the same chords and in resolving them (at "In des Welt-Atems wehendem All") finds her release in death.
Act I. Isolde and her handmaid, Brangaene are quartered aboard Tristan's ship, being transported to King Marke's lands in Cornwall where Isolde is to be married to the King. The opera opens with the voice of a young sailor singing of a "wild Irish maid", which Isolde takes to be a mocking reference to herself. In a furious outburst she wishes the seas to rise up and sink the ship, killing all on board. Her scorn and rage are directed particularly at Tristan, the knight who is taking her to Marke. She sends Brangaene to command Tristan to appear before her, but Tristan refuses Brangaene's request, saying that his place is at the helm. His henchman, Kurwenal, answers more brusquely, saying that Isolde is in no position to command Tristan, and reminding Brangaene that Isolde's previous fiancé, Morold, was killed by Tristan.
Brangaene returns to Isolde to relate these events, and Isolde sadly tells her of how, following the death of Morold, a stranger called Tantris had been brought to her, found mortally wounded in a boat, and that she had used her healing powers to restore him to health. However she discovered that Tantris was actually Tristan, the murderer of her husband, and had tried to kill him with his sword as he lay helpless before her. However Tristan had looked not at the sword that would kill him, but into her eyes, and this had pierced her heart. Tristan had been allowed to leave, but had returned with the intention of marrying Isolde to his uncle, King Marke. Isolde, in her fury at Tristan's betrayal, insists that he drink atonement to her, and from her medicine-chest produces the vial which will make this drink. Brangaene is shocked to see that it is a lethal poison.
At this point Kurwenal appears in the women's quarters saying that Tristan has agreed after all to see Isolde. When he arrives, Isolde tells him that she now knows that he was Tantris, and that he owes her his life. Tristan agrees to drink the potion, now prepared by Brangaene, even though he knows it may kill him. As he drinks, Isolde tears the remainder of the potion from him and drinks it herself. At this moment, each believing that their life is about to end, they declare their love for each other. Their rapture is interrupted by Kurwenal, who announces the imminent arrival on board of King Marke. Isolde asks Brangaene which potion she prepared and is told that it was no poison, but a love-potion. Outside, the sailors hail the arrival of King Marke.
Act II. A nocturnal hunting party leaves King Marke's castle empty except for Isolde and Brangaene, who stand beside a burning brazier. Isolde several times believes that the hunting horns are far enough away to allow her to extinguish the flames, giving the signal for Tristan to join her. Brangaene warns Isolde that one of King Marke's knights, Melot, has seen the looks exchanged between Tristan and Isolde, and suspects their passion. Isolde, however, believes Melot to be Tristan's most loyal friend, and in a frenzy of desire extinguishes the flames. Brangaene retires to the ramparts to keep watch as Tristan arrives.
The lovers, alone at last and freed from the constraints of courtly life, declare their passion for each other. Tristan decries the realm of daylight which is false, unreal, and keeps them apart. It is only in night that they can truly be together, and only in the long night of death that they can be eternally united. Brangaene is heard several times throughout their long tryst calling a warning that the night is ending, but the lovers ignore her. Finally the day breaks in on the lovers, Melot leads Marke and his men to find Tristan and Isolde in each others arms. Marke is heart-broken, not only because of his betrayal by his adopted son, Tristan, but because he, too, has come to love Isolde.
Tristan now asks Isolde if she will follow him again into the realm of night, and she agrees. Melot and Tristan fight, but at the crucial moment, Tristan throws his sword aside and is mortally wounded by Melot.
Act III. Kurwenal has brought Tristan home to his castle at Kareol in Brittany. A shepherd pipes a mournful tune and asks if Tristan is awake. Kurwenal says that only Isolde's arrival can save Tristan. The shepherd says he will keep watch and pipe a happy tune to mark the arrival of any ship. Tristan now wakes and mourns that he is again in the false realm of daylight, once more driven by unceasing unquenchable yearning, until Kurwenal tells him that Isolde is coming. Tristan is overjoyed and asks if her ship is in sight, but only the shepherd's sorrowful tune is heard.
Tristan relapses and recalls that the shepherd's tune is the one he heard when his father and then his mother died. Once again he rails against his desires and against the fateful love-potion until he collapses in delirium. At this point the shepherd is heard piping the arrival of Isolde's ship, and as Kurwenal rushes to meet her, Tristan in his excitement tears the bandages from his wounds. As Isolde arrives at his side, Tristan dies with her name on his lips.
Isolde collapses beside him as the appearance of another ship is announced. Kurwenal sees Melot, Marke and Brangaene arrive and furiously attacks Melot to avenge Tristan. In the fight both Melot and Kurwenal are killed. Marke and Brangaene finally reach Isolde and Marke, grieving over the body of his "truest friend" explains that he has learnt of the love-potion from Brangaene and had come, not to part the lovers, but to unite them. Isolde appears to wake but, in a final aria describing her vision of Tristan risen again (the "Liebestod"), dies of grief.
Influence of Schopenhauer on Tristan und Isolde
Wagner was introduced to the work of the philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer by his friend Georg Herwegh in late 1854. The composer was immediately struck by the philosophical ideas to be found in "Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung" (The World as Will and Representation), and it is clear that the composer and the philosopher had a very similar world-view. By the end of that year, he had sketched out all three acts of an opera on the theme of Tristan and Isolde, although it was not until 1857 that he began working full-time on the opera, putting aside the composition of Der Ring des Nibelungen to do so. Wagner said in a letter to Franz Liszt (December 1854): "Never in my life having enjoyed the true happiness of love I shall erect a memorial to this loveliest of all dreams in which, from the first to the last, love shall, for once, find utter repletion. I have devised in my mind a Tristan und Isolde, the simplest, yet most full-blooded musical conception imaginable, and with the 'black flag' that waves at the end I shall cover myself over – to die." By 1857 Wagner was living as the guest of the wealthy silk merchant Otto von Wesendonck, and during the composition of Tristan und Isolde was involved with Wesendonck's wife, Mathilde, although it remains uncertain as to whether or not this relationship was platonic.
Nevertheless, the twin influences of Schopenhauer and Mathilde inspired Wagner during the composition of Tristan und Isolde. Schopenhauer's influence is felt most directly in the second and third acts. The first act is relatively straightforward, consisting mostly of an exposition of how Tristan and Isolde come to be in their current state. However the second act, where the lovers meet, and the third act, in which Tristan longs for release from the passions that torment him, have often proved puzzling to opera-goers unfamiliar with Schopenhauer's work. Wagner uses the metaphor of day and night in the second act to designate the realms inhabited by Tristan and Isolde. The world of Day is one where the lovers must deny their love and pretend they do not care for each other, where they are bound by the dictates of King Marke's court: it is a realm of falsehood and unreality. Tristan declares in Act 2 that under the dictates of the realm of Day he was forced to remove Isolde from Ireland and to marry her to his Uncle Marke. The realm of Night, in contrast, is the representation of intrinsic reality, where the lovers can be together, where their desires reach fulfillment: it is the realm of oneness, truth and reality. Wagner thus equates the realm of Day with Schopenhauer's concept of Phenomenon, and the realm of Night with Schopenhauer's concept of Noumenon. While none of this is explicitly stated in the libretto, Tristan's comments on Day and Night in Acts 2 and 3 make it very clear that this is Wagner's intention.
In Schopenhauer's philosophy, the world as we experience it is a representation of an unknowable reality. Our representation of the world (which is false) is Phenomenon, while the unknowable reality is Noumenon: these concepts are developments of ideas originally posited by Kant. Importantly for Tristan and Isolde, Schopenhauer's concept of Noumenon is one where all things are indivisible and one: and it is this very idea of one-ness that Tristan yearns for in Acts 2 and 3 of Tristan und Isolde. Tristan is also aware that this realm of Night, or Noumenon can only be shared by the lovers in its fullest sense when they die. The realm of Night therefore also becomes the realm of death: the only world in which Tristan and Isolde can be united forever, and it is this realm that Tristan speaks of at the end of Act two ("Dem Land das Tristan meint, der Sonne Licht nicht scheint").
Tristan rages against the daylight in Act 3 and frequently cries out for release from his desires (Sehnen): it is also part of Schopenhauer's philosophy that man is driven by continued, unachievable desires, and that the gulf between our desires and the possibility of achieving them leads to misery. The only way for man to achieve inner peace is to renounce his desires: a theme that Wagner explores fully in his last opera, Parsifal.
Reactions to Tristan und Isolde
Although Tristan und Isolde is today considered one of the peaks of the operatic repertory, and a significant artistic achievement, critical opinion was not always unanimous. "Not to mince words, it is the glorification of sensual pleasure, tricked out with every titillating device, it is unremitting materialism, according to which human beings have no higher destiny than, after living the life of turtle doves, 'to vanish in sweet odours, like a breath'. In the service of this end, music has been enslaved to the word; the most ideal of the Muses has been made to grind the colours for indecent paintings....he makes sensuality itself the true subject of his drama.... We think that the stage presentation of the poem Tristan und Isolde amounts to an act of indecency. Wagner does not show us the life of heroes of Nordic sagas which would edify and strengthen the spirit of his German audiences. What he does present is the ruination of the life of heroes through sensuality." Such was the opinion in the 5th July 1865 edition of the Allgemeine Musikalische Zeitung.
Eduard Hanslick's reaction in 1868 to the Prelude to Tristan was that it "reminds me of the old Italian painting of a martyr whose intestines are slowly unwound from his body on a reel." The first performance in London's Drury Lane Theatre drew the following response from The Era in 1882: " We cannot refrain from making a protest against the worship of animal passion which is so striking a feature in the late works of Wagner. We grant there is nothing so repulsive in Tristan as in Die Walküre, but the system is the same. The passion is unholy in itself and its representation is impure, and for those reasons we rejoice in believing that such works will not become popular. If they did we are certain their tendency would be mischievous, and there is, therefore, some cause for congratulation in the fact that Wagner's music, in spite of all its wondrous skill and power, repels a greater number than it fascinates."
With the passage of time, Tristan became more favourably regarded. Giuseppe Verdi interviewed shortly before his death said that he "stood in wonder and terror" before Wagner's Tristan. In The Perfect Wagnerite the writer and satirist George Bernard Shaw said Tristan was "an astonishingly intense and faithful translation into music of the emotions which accompany the union of a pair of lovers" and described it as "a poem of destruction and death". Richard Strauss was initially dismissive of Tristan, saying that Wagner's music: "would kill a cat and would turn rocks into scrambled eggs from fear of [its] hideous dischords." However he later became part of the Bayreuth coterie and writing to Cosima Wagner in 1892 declared; "I have conducted my first Tristan. It was the most wonderful day of my life." He later wrote: "Tristan und Isolde marked the end of all romanticism. Here the yearning of the entire 19th century is gathered in one focal point."
The conductor Bruno Walter as a student heard his first Tristan und Isolde in 1889: "So there I sat in the topmost gallery of the Berlin Opera House, and from the first sound of the cellos my heart contracted spasmodically... Never before has my soul been deluged with such floods of sound and passion, never had my heart been consumed by such yearning and sublime bliss... A new epoch had begun: Wagner was my god, and I wanted to become his prophet." Arnold Schoenberg referred to Wagner's technique of shifting chords in Tristan as "phenomena of incredible adaptability and nonindependence roaming, homeless, among the spheres of keys; spies reconnoitering weaknesses; to exploit them in order to create confusion, deserters for whom surrender of their own personality is an end in itself".
Friedrich Nietzsche was one of Wagner's staunchest allies in his younger years, and wrote that for him "Tristan and Isolde is the real opus metaphysicum of all art. . . insatiable and sweet craving for the secrets of night and death. . . it is overpowering in its simple grandeur". In a letter to his friend Erwin Rohde in October 1868 he described his reaction to the Prelude to Tristan: "I simply cannot bring myself to remain critically aloof from this music; every nerve in me is atwitch, and it has been a long time since I had such a lasting sense of ecstasy as with this overture". Even following his break with Wagner, Nietzsche still considered Tristan to be a masterpiece: "Even now I am still in search of a work which exercises such a dangerous fascination, such a spine-tingling and blissful infinity as Tristan — I have sought in vain, in every art."
Recordings of Tristan und Isolde
Tristan und Isolde has always been acknowledged as one of the greatest operas, and has a long recorded history. In the years before World War II, Kirsten Flagstad and Lauritz Melchior were considered to be the prime interpreters of the lead roles, and mono recordings exist of a number of live performances with this pair directed by conductors such as Thomas Beecham, Fritz Reiner, Artur Bodanzky and Erich Leinsdorf. Flagstad recorded the part commercially only near the end of her career in 1952, under Wilhelm Furtwängler for EMI, producing a set which is considered a classic recording. Following the war the performances at Bayreuth with Martha Mödl and Ramon Vinay under Herbert von Karajan (1952) were highly regarded, and these performances are now available as a live recording. In the 1960s the soprano Birgit Nilsson was considered the major Isolde interpreter, and she was often partnered by the Tristan of Wolfgang Windgassen. Their performances at Bayreuth in 1966 were captured by Deutsche Grammophon, although some collectors prefer the pairing of Nilsson with the Canadian tenor Jon Vickers, available in "unofficial" recordings from performances in Vienna or Orange. Karajan did not record the opera commercially until 1971, and his set is still controversial for the use of a lighter soprano voice (Helga Dernesch) as Isolde, paired with an extremely intense Vickers, and also for the unusual balance between orchestra and singers favoured at that time by Karajan. By the 1980s recorded sets by conductors such as Carlos Kleiber, Reginald Goodall and Leonard Bernstein were mostly considered to be important for the interpretation of the conductor, rather than that of the lead performers. The set by Kleiber is notable since Isolde is sung by Margaret Price, who never sang the role on stage. The same is true for Plácido Domingo, who sang the role of Tristan to critical acclaim in the 2005 EMI release under the baton of Antonio Pappano despite never having sung the role on stage.
There are several DVD productions of the opera including a staging by the Deutsche Oper, Berlin featuring the seasoned Wagnerians René Kollo and Gwyneth Jones in the title roles.
There are many recordings of the opera. The following list of CD releases is selective: for a more exhaustive list, see Discography of Tristan und Isolde

August 2012 Roll Call
Find a Conversation
|Wed, 08-01-2012 - 7:53am
Our thread to chat and keep track of how we are and where we all are in our cycles. You can share as much or as little as you like. I have found with TTC there really is never TMI. Hope we have some great success stories for this month and I would like to encourage more of our "read only" gals to drop by and say hello. I love having all of our new members with us and as always, my long time pals here too. Love you girls- you are all a great support and comfort for me!
Post your:
Name (real or a username we can call you) Age, spouse and any children
CD(cycle day) how many cycles have you been trying
How are you trying? natural, IUI IVF
Anything else you want to share
|Fri, 08-17-2012 - 2:08pm
things went well. we had three follies and they did the iui the same day as the follie check only b/c they did some blood work the same day and it appears i was at my O peak that morning, so they wanted to get it in asap. yes you just have to stay positive about the whole thing.
i am doing progesterone and this morning was dose #4. i was feeling really wonky the past few days, but either my body is getting used to it or something else was going on, because i'm starting to feel much better. i started it the day after my iui -- or maybe the night of. i have to take 200mcg 2x/day. So i'm doing it in the morning and the evening. i thought it was going to be super messy from everything i read, but it's really not that bad -- just wear a panty liner and you'll be fine.
they had us BD the day of our iui because of my numbers, and they knew i was O'ing that day. so we just did it then. we weren't told any other times. but other times i've been told to do it the night of the trigger, sometimes two days after -- so talk to your dr.
P&PT! let me know how it goes!!
|Mon, 08-20-2012 - 3:47pm
Well I had a 20 day cycle so no wonder I completely missed when I O'd. Very strange indeed. I'm on CD2. No Greyby for me this cycle.
- Sharon
|Wed, 08-22-2012 - 11:58am
Sharon - Damn! Hate when our cycles change up!
Nina - Welcome!
AFM - CD24 and I am constipated! (sorry if tmi). Normally this is not good news, however constipation has been my earliest sign of pregnancy in my non-chemical pregnancies. The flip side of that potential good news is that my temps dropped (98.2 to 97.9) on Tuesday which led to a corresponding sink in my spirits. I tried to convince myself that it was an implantation dip...but I thought I already had that on Sunday (dip from 98.2 to 98.0) I am still very crampy (with some odd burning sensations in my sides) which I never get so close before AF. This a.m. my temp was up...slightly (97.9 to 98.0) and I have been feeling so sluggish/fatigued and back to peeing alot. The awful AF is due today. So of course, I am filled with anxiety everytime I go to the bathroom. I don't know what to think. I HATE THIS! This will be the longest day of my life. I said I would test on Friday but if my temp goes up tomorrow, I am definitely POAS in the morning.

The Next Great Event in The Awakening!
This is an interesting article. I've been long expecting something like this to arrive, sort of a living version of what I experienced in my NDE. A global change in human perspective... -AK
March 2013 The Next Great Event in The Awakening!
Mindy Mitchell
Hello Everyone!
I conducted a research project using QHH to obtain more clarity for humanity regarding The Shift and all it entails. My focus was what we would be experiencing and how to prepare ourselves mentally, physically and spiritually. The information brought forth was truly enlightening especially regarding what the electronic/wireless environments are doing to us!
The book is called Quantum Odyssey by Mindy Mitchell and is available as an ebook at Www.Booktango.com and at Www.Amazon.com. The following is an excerpt from my book regarding the next possible upcoming event of The Awakening.
I wanted to be sure and share this information with everyone as this stated event is to occur this March 2013! I look forward to sharing our collective experience of this event as it unfolds over the next few months and how it unfolds for each and everyone of us.
As I tell all of my QHH clients, there is no wrong way to have an experience. Each of us are here on our own journey and as such will have a variety of experiences and responses to our lives on Earth. Not all will be aware to the same thing at the same time. Some will recognize change immediately, others slowly but surely, some not at all.
Below is a segment from an actual Quantum Healing Hypnosis session (QHH) where I explored using QHH as a research tool to go forward into time and ask many of the hot topics that are circulating regarding the new millennium we are moving into and the New Earth..The Ascension...The Shift...The Awakening.
I don't believe that there is any one truth or reality out there as I believe that the truth and reality exists as a multi-faceted gem. Each facet of the gem provides a different perspective, different from all the other facets. None being more real or greater than the other. We each will experience our reality and truths through different facets of perception.
The more we open ourselves to experiencing a different reality than we have been conditioned to, the more likely we are to evolve and awaken to a New Earth!
The world was absolutely flat for centuries. Until it wasn't......
Remember...keep all THREE eyes open!
M represents me Mindy and E is Ellen the subject.
E: I see a like a moment in time. The only thing I can describe it like…it is like when you flip the switch and the lights go on. There is this incredible blue light! So soft… I see color of blue light and when this light switch goes on the light expands... It is so beautiful! Throughout the whole universe and it's the coming together of one mind! It so unbelievable!
M: Is this a happening at this time or a future event?
E: It is a future event...and it's going to happen. The only thing I can think of is a scripture that says "…in the twinkling of an eye" and it's so amazing!!!! (Spoken with absolute wonder and awe)
M: Is there an earth time when this event will be taking place?
E: It is soon...it's now...it feels now...like now. It's melting... it doesn't feel far away.
M: Is this "The Shift" "The Awakening" that's coming?
E: Yes! It's all minds coming to together in a split second! It's so bizarre!

Zen Gardener: Birthing the DIvine Warrior
Birthing the Divine Warrior
Wednesday, October 10th, 2012
by Julian Rose
These are testing times. There is little doubt that the malevolent forces currently holding sway over our world are doing their damnedest to keep the lid on the rising tide of consciousness which will ultimately depose them.
The effect is tangible; as though a block is attempting to be placed on incoming energies that nourish the awakening process. As though such energies are being sucked out of the very air we breathe – leaving a kind of vacuum and that feeling one gets just before a thunderstorm when the atmospheric pressure draws back prior to unleashing its pent up energies.
Disoriented and strangely 'up against it'. We may even experience the sense of loss of contact with the flow of higher guidance, moments of lethargy as well as mental disequilibrium.
Hold hard my friends. Draw in and earth your internal energies. Ride out the storm. It was never going to be easy.
Yes, here we are in the run up to those much anticipated dates of the winter solstice 2012 – and instead of being lifted aloft by higher vibrations – we may instead be feeling grounded, sore and glad enough to gain an occasional glimpse of the light!
Yet within the great game of Cosmic Lila that is the adventure called Life – what we are going through is a twenty first century manifestation of the 'rights of passage' of the warriors of old. The vortex we are now entering is forcing us to strip away the last vestiges of our worldly baggage that cannot be carried on our backs through this great metamorphosis that we are to undergo.
The healing and transformation process which is now upon us will not compromise its powers or soften its strength. No, we should be glad of this – even as the pain hits home. What we are being hit by is a combination of 'man made' consciousness suppressors and the curative fire of higher energies – and probably in approximately equal amounts.

Are You Alone? Or Strategically Placed!
Wednesday, March 28th, 2012.
by Zen Gardner
I hear from so many people who feel isolated and alone during this awakening and massive paradigm shift taking place around the globe. Spouses can't wake up partners to the truth; family members and close friends think you've gone wonky, while the mainstream matrix mouthpieces keep up their barrage of derision against anyone who dares to look past the range of their narrow blinders.
It does suck. We all experience this phenomenon and the isolation that seems to accompany the wake up.
Here's a hugely happy thought. If we're an organic, cosmically influenced body of crystaline receivers and broadcasters in an alive and amazing all-knowing Universe, perhaps we're exactly where we're each supposed to be.
In fact, we're probably carefully distributed to create a world-wide grid of truth!
Cool? In other words, once again there's no mistake with synchronicity!

Referendum questions misstate true cost of passage, official charges
By Lisa Donovan Cook County Reporter firstname.lastname@example.com
Voters in 10 communities across suburban Cook County will go to the polls Tuesday todecide whether to approve property tax increases to fund their local schools, park districts, libraries or fire departments, but officials say figures on the ballot underestimate just how much it's going to cost homeowners.
By state law, the tax referendums must lay out — in dollars – how much a tax increase would cost an individual homeowner.
Ali ElSaffar, the president of the Cook County Township Assessors' Association, said the calculations are off by as much as 70 percent. And because it's too late to change the ballot, he's trying to get the word out.
"My concern is when people go to the polls, are voters getting good information on the ballot?" ElSaffar told the Chicago Sun-Times. "We want people to make educated decisions on these referenda, so we're just trying to make sure people understand. We're not for them, we're not against them."
The alleged miscalculations on the ballots in Tuesday's election can be traced to at least one Chicago law firm, hired by many of the schools and other taxing districts to help with the ballot language, including calculating the costs.
Tipped off by a citizen in February, ElSaffar confirmed the tax numbers were crunched without a key figure known as the equalizer — a number used by the state to calculate Cook County's tax bill so they're in line with tax rates across the 102 counties in Illinois.
In Oak Park District 97, voters will be greeted with a ballot question asking whether they favor a tax increase to support local schools. If so, according to the ballot, it would cost a homeowner an additional $37.40 per $100,000 of a home's market value.
ElSaffar, who is also the Oak Park Township assessor, trots that out as one of the miscalculations, noting the tax burden is more than triple that amount — $126.04 per $100,000 of market value.
Chapman and Cutler, the Chicago law firm hired by many of the taxing districts to come up with the calculations, is standing by its work — saying state law makes no reference to the multiplier in coming up with its calculations.
"There's no reference to the multiplier or the equalizer, it's just not there," said Lynda Given, a partner in the firm. "The school districts knew that. So, in complying with the statute and the statutory requirements, [we] put together a ballot proposition — [we] complied with the literal language of the statute."
Asked whether the numbers on the ballot reflect what taxpayers will have to shell out, she said: "The school districts have to do what the General Assembly has told them to do. This is not a class in creative writing — you have to do what the General Assembly tells you to do."
But Given did say the same school districts have gone to "great pains to tell the community what the real costs will be."
That includes the Oak Park school district, along with Wilmette Public Schools District 39, which on its website posted a note to residents stating that the school board acknowledges "the legally required language was both misleading and potentially inaccurate" and is posting its own figures of for the tax increase: $58 per $1,000 of taxes paid.
Burt Odelson, an election attorney, said he has worked with schools and other taxing districts and always included the equalizer.
"We tried to take it right out of the statute and to be ultra conservative, make sure to add the language to make sure it's clear. You have to be so careful, they're subject to a suit if they pass and the numbers end up wrong," Odelson said.
State Sen. Don Harmon (D-Oak Park) was the chief sponsor of the legislation to put the dollar figures on the ballot and is baffled this is even a debate.
"I'm a little confused about the interpretations that led to these absurd results," he said. "The law says you're supposed to tell voters how much they're supposed to pay on a residential home worth $100,000. If you don't include the equalizer, I don't know how you get there."
He said he has talked to fellow lawmakers and ElSaffar about changing the language in the law, but he doesn't think it's necessary.

Key Holding:Recently enacted Hawaii law prohibiting employers with collective bargaining agreements from retaliating against employees taking sick leave is subject to NLRA preemption and violates equal protection clause.
Key Takeaway:Court finds state law targeting only employers that are parties to collective bargaining agreements is constitutionally invalid and encroaches upon areas better left to control of economic forces, not congressional regulation.
Anna Kwidzinski
A 2011 Hawaii statute restricting employers with collective bargaining agreements from disciplining employees for taking sick leave when they may not be ill is preempted by the National Labor Relations Act and violates the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment, the U.S. District Court for the District of Hawaii held Dec. 31 (Hawaii Pac. Health v. Takamine, D. Hawaii, No. 11-00706, 12/31/12).
Granting partial summary judgment for 21 employers, mostly hotel and health care companies, the court said a statutory provision covering employers that are parties to collective bargaining agreements is not a constitutionally valid and neutral minimum labor standard. Instead, the court said, the Hawaii law falls within the scope of Machinists preemption because it impermissibly supplants a congressional decision in the NLRA to maintain unregulated an area better left to economic forces.
Since the state law negatively affects only employers with collective bargaining agreements, it unfairly favors unions and employees in violation of equal protection guarantees constitutionally afforded to similarly situated employers, the court said.
The statute effectively shifts the balance of power away from employers and tilts good-faith negotiations in employees' favor, Judge Susan Oki Mollway said.
The court did not rule on the employers' motion for a permanent injunction and set a hearing for April 15 to determine the appropriate remedy.
The new legislation applies only to organizations that employ at least 100 people and "have a collective bargaining agreement with their employees." The law does not expressly distinguish between unionized and nonunionized employees working for the same employer.
The 21 employers sued in federal court in November 2011, alleging they were unfairly targeted by the new law and challenging its validity. The employers sued the director of the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations, Dwight Takamine, whose office is responsible for enforcing the new law.
The companies challenged as unconstitutional the portion of the law that applies only to employers that are parties to collective bargaining agreements, but did not oppose the language pertaining to employers with 100 or more employees. The 21 employers also sought a permanent injunction against enforcement of the statute.
The court deferred to the legislative process and refused to follow DLIR's suggestion of striking only a certain part of the provision because rewriting the law "would create obligations on employers that the legislature did not actually impose."
The Hawaii law effectively discriminates against employers that are parties to collective bargaining agreements, and is tantamount to giving workers a free 72-hour pass in which their employers cannot ask if they were legitimately sick, Judge Mollway said.
The U.S. Supreme Court held in Lodge 76, International Association of Machinists v. Wisconsin Employment Relations Commission, 427 U.S. 132, 92 LRRM 2881 (1976), that both the National Labor Relations Board and individual states are barred from regulating matters that Congress intended to leave unregulated and better left to the control of economic market forces. Collective bargaining is one of those matters, Mollway said.
The judge found that at least some of the 21 employers' collective bargaining agreements include provisions allowing disciplinary action against employees who lie about sick leave and contain specific clauses stating that a doctor's note will not be required unless there is a question of abuse or an absence longer than two days.
But the Hawaii law provides that covered employers may only require written verification from a physician if an employee uses three or more consecutive days for sick leave.
When Hawaii enacted this new provision, it touched upon existing bargained-for contract terms and essentially undercut the 21 employers' collective bargaining agreements, the court held. It found that the new law provides large employers' workers, whether unionized or not, a benefit that was not successfully bargained for.
"States have traditionally had great latitude under their police powers to pass laws protecting workers in employment relationships," Mollway wrote.
But states may not regulate within the protected zone reserved for market freedom, the court said. They must endeavor to enact neutral requirements for minimum labor standards that do not impermissibly intrude into collective bargaining and must refrain from creating targeted negative restrictions, the court said.
"Even if an employer with a collective bargaining agreement has some employees not covered by that agreement, no party in the present case cites any authority suggesting that [the law's] effect on some nonunionized employees at a company that also has some unionized employees somehow makes the statute a neutral minimum labor standard equally applicable to all employees," the court said. "The statute is inapplicable to employees of employers without collective bargaining agreements."
The Hawaii law effectively discriminates against employers that are parties to collective bargaining agreements, and is tantamount to giving workers a free 72-hour pass in which their employers cannot ask if they were legitimately sick, the court said.
"The absence of any comparable restriction on employers lacking collective bargaining agreements demonstrates that the State has targeted unionized employers over a term or condition of employment," Mollway said.
"The State clearly has a rational basis for choosing not to impose the cost of compliance with the statute on small businesses that might sustain negative financial consequences out of proportion to any benefit to employees," the judge wrote.
Distinguishing between employers with collective bargaining agreements and those without is not rationally related to a legitimate government purpose and contradicts legislative intent, the court reasoned.
"The purposes identified by the State are its interests in protecting employees who use sick leave from retaliation by employers and in protecting the employment relationship," Mollway said. "But those reasons provide no justification for treating employers with collective bargaining agreements differently from employers without such agreements."
The court rejected DLIR's assertion that the statute meant to prevent employers from breaching collective bargaining agreements.
The new statute is irrational, the court said, because the law goes after employers whose workers are already protected by collective bargaining agreements and union representation, and have access to contractual remedies for employer breaches not necessarily available to nonunionized employees.
"Those employees are less in need of statutory protection than their nonunion counterparts," the judge wrote. "Union employees have grievance rights, while many nonunion employees do not."
If Hawaii really wanted to protect all employees, it could have written provisions in accordance with the equal protection clause and restricted retaliatory actions by employers both with and without collective bargaining agreements, the court said.
Richard M. Rand and Megumi Sakae of Marr Jones & Wang in Honolulu represented the 21 employers. Frances E.H. Lum, Nelson T. Higa, and Doris Dvonich of the Hawaii Attorney General's Office represented Takamine in his official capacity as DLIR director.

- Gaucher disease, acute neuronopathic type
- Gaucher disease, infantile cerebral
See Disclaimer regarding information on this site. Some links on this page may take you to organizations outside of the National Institutes of Health.
[1] Gaucher disease type 2 is caused by mutations in the GBA gene. It is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern.[2] While enzyme replacement therapy is available, there is no effective treatment for the severe brain damage that may occur in patients with this condition.[1]Gaucher disease type 2 is an inherited metabolic disorder in which harmful quantities of a fatty substance called glucocerebroside accumulate in the spleen, liver, lungs, bone marrow, and brain. Liver and spleen enlargement are often apparent by 3 months of age. Patients typically develop extensive and progressive brain damage and many die by 2 years of age.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty: New York Film Festival 2013
CommentsAdd +
After years of Hollywood development and multiple A-list stars come and gone, James Thurber's classic short story gets an overly cutesy treatment by director-actor Ben Stiller. There's little soulfulness to his central dreamer, a New York City photo archivist about to be downsized by Life magazine (here improbably revived from its actual 2000 demise). In this incarnation, Mitty's timidity is barely explained; he has difficulty clicking on eHarmony or reaching out to love interest Kristen Wiig—until, of course, he doesn't, and these problems waft away with little personal reckoning. Cue Wes Anderson–like sequences of skateboarding down a volcano's slope and jetting off to Afghanistan. You're going to find it all either enormously empowering or deeply calculated: It's an Arcade Fire–scored TV commercial for instant spirituality. Click for showtimes.—Joshua Rothkopf

Hi, I know I am not the only mom to go through this, I just want to help my son with whatever is available to him. Are there any questions or concerns I should ask/talk about with our Case Manager? Fragile X Syndrome runs on my side of the family (mother's side). My brother has FXS and lives a somewhat normal life. My son doesn't have any physical features of the syndrome. I see his attention span is not totally there and his language is behind. He has an over/under extention to his words, still babbles alot of baby talk that I cannot be decoded. He mumbles words together. I
I also have an appt with Audiology at Pittsburgh's Children's Hospital to get my son's hearing checked. There is no history of ear infections. We had it checked a week after he turned one last year, and the tests were inconclusive...he wouldn't sit still long enough for them to be done. Now that he is the big two, we are attempting again. I think he is partcially deaf, from the way he has progressed with language and sounds.
Is there any advice you could give me to make our EI & Audiology testing more helpful and beneficial? I don't want to skip a beat if there is something more I can do for my son.

ZigWireless is happy to announce a Fiber Optic Upgrade to the Pendleton Area. This gives ZigWireless another path for customers to access the Internet. Speeds and latency will improve for higher bandwidth customers.
We are currently aware of the following outages on the Zig network due to Storms
1.Pendleton area keeps losing power. This is affecting our battery levels
2.State Line. Port on our router is flapping. This is causing intermittent service.
3.Route 1 Illinois. Appears to be power or wind related.
We currently have a router which is locked up in Cherry Grove. This facility does not have 24×7 access. Technicians are en route to bring as much of the network back up as we can.
Has anyone you know ever lost control of an email account and inadvertently sent spam—or worse—to their friends and family? There are plenty of examples (like the classic "Mugged in London" scam) that demonstrate why it's important to take steps to help secure your activities online. Your Gmail account, your photos, your private documents—if you reuse the same password on multiple sites and one of those sites gets hacked, or your password is conned out of you directly through a phishing scam, it can be used to access some of your most closely-held information.
Most of us are used to entrusting our information to a password, but we know that some of you are looking for something stronger. As we announced to our Google Apps customers a few months ago, we've developed an advanced opt-in security feature called 2-step verification that makes your Google Account significantly more secure by helping to verify that you're the real owner of your account. Now it's time to offer the same advanced protection to all of our users.
2-step verification requires two independent factors for authentication, much like you might see on your banking website: your password, plus a code obtained using your phone. Over the next few days, you'll see a new link on your Account Settings page that looks like this:
Take your time to carefully set up 2-step verification—we expect it may take up to 15 minutes to enroll. A user-friendly set-up wizard will guide you through the process, including setting up a backup phone and creating backup codes in case you lose access to your primary phone. Once you enable 2-step verification, you'll see an extra page that prompts you for a code when you sign in to your account. After entering your password, Google will call you with the code, send you an SMS message or give you the choice to generate the code for yourself using a mobile application on your Android, BlackBerry or iPhone device. The choice is up to you. When you enter this code after correctly submitting your password we'll have a pretty good idea that the person signing in is actually you.
It's an extra step, but it's one that significantly improves the security of your Google Account because it requires the powerful combination of both something you know—your username and password—and something that only you should have—your phone. A hacker would need access to both of these factors to gain access to your account. If you like, you can always choose a "Remember verification for this computer for 30 days" option, and you won't need to re-enter a code for another 30 days. You can also set up one-time application-specific passwords to sign in to your account from non-browser based applications that are designed to only ask for a password, and cannot prompt for the code.
To learn more about 2-step verification and get started, visit our Help Center. And for more about staying safe online, see our ongoing security blog series or visit http://www.staysafeonline.org/. Be safe!

Star Wars Chewbacca Peruvian Cap (Sold Out)
"One Size Fits Most"
This Star Wars Chewbacca Peruvian cap should give you all the ear-covering warmth and comfort you need when the air turns cold...and yes, it looks like the top of Chewbacca's head, down to the nose and blue eyes. Star Wars fans are bound to let out a Wookie yell when they see you coming down the street in this Chewbacca cap - and if they don't, we assure you, they were at least thinking about it!
A convenient plastic clasp can join the two earflaps together atop your head should they be in the way, and wearing it in that fashion calls to mind a Russian ushanka-style cap moreso than a Peruvian cap. But you say tomato, and this Chewbacca cap says tomahto. Just like you say Chewbacca, but I'm thinking Emmet Otter. And there is NOTHING wrong with that!

Some Hampton Roads law enforcement agencies are swapping cell phone data collected during investigations to help each other catch criminals.
The Smithfield Police Department and Isle of Wight Sheriff's Office are not among them.
In 2012, Chesapeake, Norfolk, Suffolk, Hampton and Newport News law enforcement agencies began contributing records to Peninsula Narcotics Enforcement Task Force, which runs the a network called Hampton Roads Telephone Analysis Sharing Network (HRTASN).

Our listings include Audiologists, Hearing Aid Dispensers and Ear Doctors in your area. Here is what some of our users have said about these hearing aid clinics in Tucson: "My hearing test here was much better than the first hearing test I had. I guess technology has come quiet a long way. I don't see how a hearing test could go any better - she was very polite and it went very quickly. If everybody was like she was there, would never be a problem with getting a hearing test " - Douglas P.
Did you know? - Infants with recurrent ear infections are prone to temporary reductions in hearing ability.

If you bedshare at night, what do you do for naps? With DS1, I just put him in the pack n play and he happily went to sleep for hours at a time. DS2 has been sleeping in the swing because he would wake up after 2 min the pack n play/crib. The swing worked great...until this week. Now he's decided unless he's snuggled up to me, he's not sleeping. Sometimes I can sneak off and he'll stay asleep on the couch, but not often. Any tips and tricks for naps that don't include traditional CIO methods or "fussing"? Keep in mind no matter where he sleeps, I have a 2 year old making very loud noises at all times. And I can't leave Kid #1 alone to sleep train Kid #2. Nor can I just take a nap with the baby - that would be awesome.
kbates85:DS would only let me put him down on his stomach. Of course, I'm sure you know the SIDs risk involved with that. Personally, I was comfortable with it for naps only.
I'm okay with belly sleeping - he can roll both ways and puts himself on his belly. He won't sleep more than a few minutes though in any position.
If I am working on the computer, she is in my lap (like right now). If it's in the morning and I am busy teaching the boys, she usually sleeps in her bouncy or a carrier. And then when we are on the go, obviously, she sleeps in the carseat. Or sometimes she will sleep in the carrier for the entire time we are in the grocery store - so she gets a good 45 minute nap there.
Poor thing lacks consistency and routine because she is a fourth child and life is busy. She only gets one GOOD nap each day and it's usually 2-2.5 hours long. That's the one that happens in my lap. The rest are just cat naps - 30-40 minutes here and there. She doesn't fuss, so she seems to be fine with this sleep schedule (or lack thereof).
Just saw your post that you don't want to use the carrier, so I edited my advice. I would just say that your best bet would be working on rocking to sleep and transferring to the crib or PNP. But with a noisy house, your naps will probably be hit and miss. That's how it is for us. Luckily, it's getting nice outside so I can send the older kids to the back yard to play while the baby sleeps inside, which disturbs her less.

Such is the close relationship between Rob Smedley and Felipe Massa that the race engineer says there are times he wants to "punch him in the face."
Smedley and Massa first teamed up midway through the 2006 season and have one of the closest relationships in Formula One.
The duo have been through a lot together including a near miss in the 2008 World Championship and also Massa's horrific injury at the Hungarian Grand Prix a year later.
And it's the latter that the Brit rates as the worst day of his life.
"The low moment was when he was hit by a spring and he was almost killed - in fact that was a low point of my life," Smedley told the BBC.
The 39-year-old also spoke in general about his relationship with the Brazilian, who contested his last grand prix as a Ferrari driver in Brazil on Sunday.
"He is a great friend and like my little brother but sometimes like your little brother you want to punch him in the face three or four times," he added.
Although it has yet to be confirmed, many in the paddock believe Smedley will be following Massa to Williams next season.

An interview with Charles Beckett
The BBC, Britain's publicly funded media organization, has been widely criticized after revelations that TV presenter, Jimmy Saville, who died in 2011, had been abusing children. More recently, the BBC's flagship TV news program, "Newsnight," wrongly accused a politician of being a pedophile, leading to its director-general, George Entwhistle, stepping down.
The crisis at the BBC follows on from a public Leveson Inquiry into the state of British journalism after it was revealed that journalists were widely involved in phone hacking. Does the recent scandal at the BBC indicate a deeper and longer-term crisis in the British media? I discussed these issue with Charlie Beckett, a former BBC staffer and the head of POLIS, a media think tank at the London School of Economics.
It is debatable, of course, whether the BBC is in crisis. But if you accept that the BBC does have problems, that it is in need of reform, what are the main problems at the BBC? Is it a case of dwindling resources? A crisis in the organization's ethics and mission? Or a bloated and over-complicated bureaucracy?
I think it's a mixture of things, inevitably. I think we do have to remember that the BBC is an extraordinary institution that creates an incredibly range of wonderful output, both locally, nationally, and internationally -- some of the highest-quality journalism and drama that you're ever going to enjoy. But I think that there is a problem.
One is about money. News, for example, has had 20 percent cutbacks and it's very difficult to adjust to that in the short term. I think definitely there's been a culture for the last 10, 15 years where too many of the top people have been lifetime BBC hands who perhaps don't have an objective view of the way they run things. And that may have bred a culture of too much bureaucracy and more of an attitude as much as numbers.
It's not just that there were too many bureaucrats or the BBC was too big. It was more that there wasn't a proper sense of responsibility, there wasn't a proper sense of dynamic, proactive management rather than just playing safe.
In terms of the proactive management, in terms of what you've referred as the problems in attitude, what do you think the BBC should do to address that?
I think the first thing is not to panic. The fundamentals of the BBC are very strong and it's never been more needed, both in Britain and I think around the world to have that kind of culture, that kind of product that the BBC creates, that is objective and high quality.
Yet I do think they need to look very hard at the leadership of the BBC. They need to strengthen the director-general by getting in a high-powered person from elsewhere and giving them much more support. But at the same time, they have to shorten the chain of command. They have to have fewer people between what actually gets produced at the BBC and all those other top managers who approve it. I would suggest they need to devolve more to the program centers and give them more responsibility rather than always second-guessing them.
To quote the "Daily Mail," often a critic of the BBC: "With a 5 billion pound annual budget, five main television channels, more journalists than all of Fleet Street put together, a sprawling radio network, international business arm and ubiquitous website, isn't it simply too big for its own good?" What would you say to that?
I don't think it's just the absolute size. If you're going to cut it, which bit are you going to cut? Because people like the sprawling radio networks, they like the soap operas, they love the music, and they've all loved different types of music. So which bit do you want to cut? It will probably annoy various "Mail" readers if you cut the bit that they like, perhaps [the long-running radio series] "The Archers."
I think it's not so much just the size, but the BBC ought to be handing over some of those functions, or sharing them, or [making] partnerships with other organizations, so it asks itself whether other media organizations, or even charities and so on, whether it could work with them so the BBC has less ownership.
The problem is that the BBC has become very defensive about what it does. There are these kind of barons that run the BBC's bits and they don't want to give up. They have never retreated on anything over the last 10 years. It just keeps getting bigger even when the money gets less so. I agree, there needs to be some sort of retrenchment, some sort of cutback, but a lot of it can be done by partnership rather than by axing things.
When you talk about partnerships, can you give me an example of what you mean by that?
Well, at the local level for example, why can't we have more community organizations and citizens involved in creating local radio? Why can't we have sports [coverage] be semiprivatized, why can't you franchise them out? So I think there's a lot of opportunities for the BBC to get other people in. We can retain the BBC brand, but you can have the injection -- not just of other people like an independent producer -- but actually bringing in other ideas. Because funnily enough, the BBC is wonderful, but it doesn't necessarily know everything.

Lemon Tea Cookies Recipe
These sandwich cookies taste rich and buttery and have a lovely lemon filling. The recipe has been in our family since the 1950s, when my mother got it from a French friend in her club. Mom always made them at Christmas, and now my sister and I do the same. -Phyllis Dietz Westland, Michigan
- 3/4 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
- 3 tablespoons butter, softened
- 4-1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 3/4 teaspoon grated orange peel
- 1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 2 drops yellow food coloring, optional
- In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg yolk and vanilla. Gradually add flour and mix well.
- Shape into two 14-in. rolls; reshape each roll into a 14-in. x 1-1/8-in. x 1-1/8-in. block. Wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight.
- Unwrap and cut into 1/4-in. slices. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Sprinkle half of the cookies with nuts, gently pressing into dough.
- Bake at 400° for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown around the edges. Remove to wire racks to cool.
- In a small bowl, cream the butter, lemon juice and orange peel until fluffy. Gradually add confectioners' sugar until smooth. Tint yellow if desired. Spread about 1 teaspoon on bottoms of the plain cookies; place nut topped cookies over filling. Yield: about 4-1/2 dozen.
