Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I wasn't intending to touch a nerve. You stated "one spell every 5 levels", which read to me that you didn't know that we will continually get Class and Spec spells inbetween the talent abilities.
However, I touched a nerve, and I'm sorry, but this is how discussions go. People see a comment, read into it as best they can, and if they see that someone is stating something that seems misinformed, others will try to correct that person.
For example (now that I think I fully understand your post), your idea would result in 51 abilities available from the talent system. That would pretty much leave us with no Class or Spec abilites. In that scenario, specification distinction becomes watered down.
To add further, 17 abilities + core abilities results in not a lot of space on the action bars.
I'll apologise in advance if this has upset you again, but frankly, this is how discussion boards work. I'm not picking on you here. You're not the only person to get your opinion "assessed", nor am I immune to it. In fact, over the years, it's from this process that I have learnt to understand the difference between "what would be cool" and "what is practical".
If you're left alone with your opinion, with no one ever explaining why it's not a good idea, then you will forever stew in a brood of "why doesn't anyone use my idea?"
Take comments like these as a means of learning and growing. For example, I once thought it was a good idea to allow skinners to turn Rugged Leather into Heavy Leather, with a small chance to create scrap material while doing it. It was quickly pointed out to me that from one piece of Rugged leather, one skinner would make a couple hundred Light Leather and would reuin the AH economy. From that, I learnt to pay more attention to what would be a good idea rather than "but I want it".

Homosexual unions are the biggest threat to the survival of the human race. If everyone became homosexual we would become extinct. Extinction is not good for society. Who's going to pay all those social security taxes? For every single choice for two people to have homosexual relations reduces the chance of human life surviving. Whereas you can wake up and choose to have sex with someone of the opposite sex, you cannot wake up and choose to be a different race. Children do best with their natural family. Always have, always will.

Hi everyone, thank you for your time in checking out this post
I am having problems getting sounds to work in IE for www.wilmottredd.com. I have mp3 and ogg files uploaded, and the page works perfect in Firefox and Chrome.
This same script that I'm using works in IE on a separate page (www.stonepoundcoffee.com/testingbed) that I have, but this page does not have the "fancybox" script or java fading script options that are enabled on "www.wilmottredd.com". Therefore I'm assuming that its a problem with the java in regards to these items.
Any help would be unbelievable.

Following Nick Diaz's (Pictured) triumphant return to the Octagon at UFC 137, a defeated and dejected BJ Penn suggested his fighting days were likely over. After Diaz found himself on the wrong end of another controversial decision, a disgusted Diaz claimed Saturday at UFC 143 he was now prepared to put the sport of mixed martial arts in his rear-view mirror.
Although the 28-year-old's unexpected announcement caught everybody by surprise, UFC president Dana White wouldn't be shocked if his most unpredictable athlete decided to walk away. However, he's not banking on it.
"Let me tell you what, that kid's made a lot of money," White said at the post-fight press conference. "If he didn't want to do it anymore, maybe he could retire. But why? He's in his prime. Fight for a few more years and he'll have enough money to really do it and kick back the rest of his life."
When pressed further on the subject, White suggested once the dust settled, Diaz would see the light and resume his controversial fighting career. Although, he's not his daddy and isn't about to persuade Mr. 209 to compete in the violent sport if he didn't want to.
"You never know with Nick Diaz," White said. "You never know. I think he's just upset right now, and I think he's emotional, but who knows?
"I think once he goes home and realizes and calms downs – look, Nick Diaz is a fighter. I don't see Nick Diaz retiring, but who knows? This isn't one of those sports where you want to be half in, half out. If that's how you feel, maybe you should retire."
Ah, would you look at that? Nearly 30 years later and Mr. Miyagi's words of wisdom still reign supreme.
"Walk left side, safe. Walk right side, safe. Walk middle, sooner or later get squish just like grape," the fictitious martial arts legend stated. "Here, karate, same thing. Either you karate do 'yes' or karate do 'no.' You karate do 'guess so,' squish just like grape."
Here's to guessing Diaz comes to his senses and takes the left or right side of the road. His rickety old Honda ain't gonna upgrade itself, homie.

Definitly, squatter. Best raw squat is 635 and best pull is 585. I have the issue of short arms and legs and a long torso.
The Carb Backloading e-book came out last month. I just started it a couple days ago, got 7 more days of prep before I get to start backloading.
I only have a single play suit and I slip the sucker on in the change room no problem.
I was wondering this as well. When I lifted 242 I was generally around 250lbs. But I only ever had a 2 hour weigh in window. Which can make for a nasty dehydrated state come time to squat.

Each issue carries an
from the
Archdiocese of Cincinnati.
Reprinting prohibited
by Michael J. Daley
(A summary of this month's Youth Update)
Mother Teresa called herself a "pencil
in the hands of God." During Lent, this Youth Update invites
you to look at what God has "written" thus far with, through and
in you.
Lent is an especially appropriate time
in which to take the journey back in time to trace your life story,
your autobiography. An excellent guide for such a journey is the
person upon whom the season of Lent centers: Jesus. The parts of
Jesus' journey parallel your own. In this edition of Youth Update,
author Michael J. Daley guides you through the life of Jesus, inviting
comparison to your own.
1. Your background. You'll need
to look at your background: where you grew up, your parents and
friends, what you did when you were younger. Look at these parts
in the life of Jesus and reflect on what is similar between your
two journeys.
How have your surroundings shaped you?
What's happening right now? Where is there division in the world
and in your life?
2. Your public life. You are part
of a neighborhood, a parish, a nation and a world. In this context,
you have had experiences of grace. You have been called to consider
the purpose of your life. You have had to wrestle with those who
have blocked your achievement of your goals, your purpose.
Who has helped you on your journey of faith?
As baptism was for Jesus, what has been a "God experience"
in your life?
3. Your mission. Jesus' mission
was to establish the Reign or Kingdom of God. He knew that he needed
to gather a community of helpers. How do you see yourself responding
to Jesusas an admirer or as a follower? Are you doing your
best? How have you put your faith into action? In what ways have
you resisted the call of Jesus to follow him?
Young people from St. Mary Parish in Alexandria,
Kentucky, read the entire text of this Youth Update and posed
these questions.
I'm a little afraid of this journey with
Jesus. I know my path isn't even close to that of Jesus. Won't
this practice discourage me even more?
Hope not! You should already be encouraged,
because you've encountered two important themes of your life
journey: gift and responsibility. When Jesus says, "Come,
follow me," it is always in a spirit of friendship, love and
growth. He never uses intimidation and fear. Perhaps you hesitate
because of the responsibility required by this gift. Saying
yes to the journey with Jesus calls for actions that aren't
easy. But you aren't asked to act alone. Jesus will always
send you the help you need to continue walking with him.
Is it really possible that my life can be
like that of Jesus? This seems like a big stretch to me.
But life is about stretching! Lent is a time
when we see the human side of Jesus. He was truly testedand
tempted to turn away from the will of Godyet he remained
faithful. His example can help you in this "stretch" of Lent.
You are not to admire Jesus from afar; you are to follow him.
He did human things well, and you can act as Jesus did in
your own life. How? Ask him! Believe me, you will find answers.
Aren't I a bit young to be looking back already?
Are you too young to think about your future?
This looking back is to get you ready for that future. You've
changed physically, socially and spiritually in the last year
or two. Your relationship with Jesus has changed as well.
You need to look at thatoften. This can be an affirming
look, but you might be called to make changes in your attitudes
and behavior. If you wait your whole life to look back, you
won't have time to change ways in which you are not following
Jesus' example.
I want to order
print copies of this Youth Update.
I want to order
a 12-month bulk subscription
to hand out in my parish or classroom.

What's that mantra about repeating something often enough until it becomes a truth? Maybe that's what top Democrats are trying to do in regard to the massive spending problem we have in our country right now. Pay no attention to the trillion-dollar deficit over the budget line!
President Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Steny Hoyer have all said recently that we don't have a spending problem. This week, Senator Tom Harkin publicly promoted the delusion, saying, "I want to disagree with those who say we have a spending problem."
He continued:
Everyone keeps saying we have a spending problem. And when they talk about that, it's like there's an assumption that somehow we as a nation are broke ... we are now the richest nation in the world. We have the highest per capita income of any major nation. That kind of begs the question, doesn't it? If we're so rich, why are we so broke? Is it a spending problem? No.
I know math is hard and all, but a spending problem is when you spend more money than you bring in, regardless of the amount coming in. In 2012, the government brought in about $2.5 trillion, and spent nearly $3.8 trillion. So it spent all the money it brought in, and then spent more than half of it over again.
Think of it this way, if you made $50,000 last year and spent like the government spent, you'd have paid out $76,873. You'd be almost $27,000 in debt. In one year. And you only make $50K. That, my friends, is an overwhelming spending problem.
Harkin is right about one thing -- we are a rich nation. However, being rich doesn't preclude a spending problem. The two are not mutually exclusive -- the numbers are just bigger when you're playing with larger amounts of money.
By saying that we don't have a spending problem, Democrats imply that we must have a revenue problem. We must bring in more money! Well guess what? We do bring in more money every year. As a whole, Americans pay more tax revenue every year than they did before. This is good! It means we're all getting richer.
So why does it feel like we're broke? Because the increased revenue is a drop in the bucket compared to the massive increases in spending. It'd be like getting a $3,000 bonus, and celebrating by buying a $50,000 car.
We do have a spending problem, and no amount of saying otherwise can change that.
Why do you think Democrats are refusing to acknowledge our government's spending problem?
Image via Images Money/Flickr
Of course we have a spending problem! And this democrat doesn't deny it! We definitely spend money on things we don't need. We can also prevent some of the things that we encounter. But I don't think spending is our only problem.
I say we start but cutting the salary of our congressmen. (Every one else I know has seen a salary reduction, why can't they?)
Cut some programs. (I was with Romney on cutting PBS because PBS has plenty of celebrities that would be willing to donate the money they would have recieved.)
We also need to cut the cost of healthcare. (Why did my mother's MRI of her uterus cost $1400 before insurance?)
Pinkmani, agreed!
Pinkmani I have been saying that for months. Not only is their yearly salary ridiculous but the fact that they get a yearly salary even after they leave office regardless of how long they served is insane. Also we do not have one ex-President that isn't a millionaire and we give retired Presidents over $400,000 a year. This Government needs to lead by example and they need to start making cuts with themselves. Why does Congress have a better insurance program for them than we give our military. I mean the guy that shot Bin Laden doesn't get retirement but Anthony Weiner does? That's not right. We need to stop talking about what we disagree on and start with what we all can agree on and that is that our Government is paying themselves too much.
We need to prioritize our spending in other places also. For example I have a friend who has an adult daughter with MS who is completely bedridden and not only can she not work but she needs 24 hour care. Her funding just got cut while a couple I know in their 30's who both choose to work part time and suck on any government tit they can get their hands on just essentially got a raise. I live in a state run by democrats that think spending is the answer and we are going down fast. We have one of the highest minimum wages and a high unemployment rate with cities that have made it to the top five list of Forbes for the hardest city's to find a job. Also its offensive that the democrats would say this when Harry Reid hasn't passed a budget in years.
The salaries are just a drop in the bucket. PBS is a another drop. We could forgo spending 300 BILLION + on the F-35 fighter jet. That would be a good start. Anything that brings health care costs down will help out budget tremendously. There are a lot of spending cuts this democrat would happily back. At this point I am just ready for congress to pass something- stop fighting over old issues and just move forward with a budget so we don't lower our credibility even more to the world market.
There is only one man you can hold responsible for the budget and his name is Harry Reid. Also it is in the Constitution that our Government spend money on defense, the Constitution says nothing about paying congress and ex-presidents for no reason. I think we should continue to pay for their secret service but that is it. Public office is suppose to be a way for you to serve your country, to give something back, not to take from the citizens after your job is done. I have no problem spending money on the defense of our country but I see no reason for us to keep throwing money at problems like we do now knowing it wont work. If you want to bring down health care costs this was the wrong way to do it and cost are going up and they are going to keep going up, for everyone.
You write some of the dumbest articles I've ever read in my life. It's Valentines Day and you are thinking about politics? Get a life!

Donald Trump wants The New York Times
Can the billionaire buy his way into ownership of the respected newspaper company?
Shares of the company, which also owns the Boston Globe, were barely budging on the news, indicating that Wall Street isn't holding its breath for a deal to happen. A spokesperson for the Times couldn't immediately be reached.
It's unclear exactly how much progress, if any, Trump has made in buying the newspaper company. New York magazine, which broke the story, says "Trump has engaged in more than one meeting to discuss how he might buy the Grey Lady." If Trump does make a credible offer for the paper, the company's board of directors would have a fiduciary duty to consider it.
Trump has had a contentious relationship with the company's flagship newspaper for years. In 2011, he lost a libel case against Tim O'Brien, a former reporter and editor for the paper, who argued in a book that the 56-year-old wasn't really a billionaire. O'Brien, now with The Huffington Post, couldn't immediately be reached. Many at the paper, including columnist Gail Collins, have mocked Trump's claims that President Obama may not have been born in the United States.
If Trump is successful -- and that's a big if -- he would have a tough time convincing employees and advertisers that he wouldn't use the paper to promote his own political agenda. In fact, some newspapers around the country have been snapped up by wealthy business owners with their own motives. Real-estate developer Doug Manchester, for example, bought the San Diego Union-Tribune in 2011 and turned the paper into what Media Matters for America calls "a corporate shill."
Trump's interest comes at a tough moment for The New York Times, which has recently offered buyouts to newsroom staff to cut costs as it struggles to reinvent itself in the digital age. The deadline for accepting these offers is Thursday, according to the paper. Wall Street isn't expecting the struggles to end anytime soon. Revenue in the December quarter is expected to fall 11%, according to analysts' estimates. Profit is expected to be 31 cents, down from 45 cents a year earlier.
Wall Street sees better times ahead for the venerable publisher, whose digital strategy has gained traction. The average 52-week price target on the stock is $9.58. about 10% higher than where it currently trades. Shares of the publisher have surged more than 13% over the past year.

The New York Times is already right wing enough. Must we really see wack added to it? How many "news" outlets do the rightside of assinine need to dominate before they convince more of their low-information voters to elect them back into the White House?
Rightwing media already controls 93% of the airwaves! Must we allow Trump to taint our nation with even more? Aren't the rural parts of our nation already saturated with Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, and the rest of the rightie hate-merchants, who would rather see this nation become a Banana Republic than to ever work together with Liberals to make this nation what it used to be, before Reagan found out that talk of war could gain him more votes in elections?
Isn't war what Rush, and Michael , and Glenn Beck propose we do now, with the assault weapons? Hide in our basements with our bibles! Open fire on each other? Open fire on Iran! Hell, the fear they push almost got them a Romney, who prefers Chinese labor over our own American labor elected? Due to rural and red state radio and FOX Entertainment News, they seek to brain-wash the poorest states, with the lowest educational standards to blame it on public schools, while Romney invests 60 million dollars into for-profit Charter Schools, that have proven to have worse educational results, with fewer teachers, and more profits taken out of the school systems, for the sake of his family?
How much more Tea Party does this nation deserve, for the sake of the Waltons, who control 42% of our national wealth?
Isn't it time to wonder why Republicans swear fealty to Grover Norquist, bow to Rush Limbaugh, and pass policies pushed by oil and mining mogul Koch Brothers, AT&T Alec Corporations, and Sheldon Adelson, who was hoping he could stop the investigations into his bribing of foreign officials, in order to get his casinos built in China? And wasn't Romney standing next to him, jumping at the chance to get in on the ground floor of wrecking the American economy by building 14 cent an hour manufacturing plants in mainland China, and then sending our manufacturing plants over there for them to use?
These are the folks the Republicans salute, when they can't make enough in wages, and have to get federal and state healthcare, because the companies refuse to work them full-time, thereby not having to provide health coverage? Look at Wal-Mart! Look at Romney's Staples, who just put out the ad proclaiming they are going to hire 45,000 seasonal workers. It sounds good, but why not work the ones full-time, already on the payroll? Every time I enter the local Romney BestBuy, there are always new workers, never there long enough to gain benefits, just seasonal ones, who never qualify for benefits......
Now, Trump wants to take the New York Times and have it proclaim Obama is a Kenyan from outer space, too?
Idiots! The New York Times will just become another Fox Tabloid with the Trump in charge....Aliens, popping out of every corner of our natuion! Grab yhour assault weapons, boys! We have aliens to hunt now. Just what this nation needs......NOT!

When Infiniti unveiled the Essence concept at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show the world understood that this is a brand that will put makers like BMW or Lexus in lots of trouble. And sales confirm it: up 27.5%. After all this should come as no surprise considering Infiniti has one model in almost every segment of the market.
So you will understand why Infiniti is taking their expansion under serious consideration. Next there will be a high-price halo car and a new entry-level model. As for the halo car there are lots of debates: Infiniti needs to decide is this new model will be a flagship sedan similar to models like BMW 7-Series or a sports car that will take on models like Audi R8 : "It's kind of perennial debate within the organization. What do we need by way of a flagship for the Infiniti range?' I don't think we've yet arrived at a conclusion," Brian Carolin, NNA vice president-sales said in an interview with Wards.
As for a new entry-level model: ""I think (an entry-luxury car) would have to be a very different product, (on) a different platform."

Robert Paterson
b. 1970 in Buffalo, New York.
Dark Mountains. Premiered by Vermont Symphony Orchestra, Made in Vermont Tour, Jaime Laredo, conductor, September-October, 2011.
Composer Robert Paterson continues to gain attention here and abroad for writing "vibrantly scored and well-crafted" music that "often seems to shimmer" (NewMusicBox). His works are praised for their elegance, wit, structural integrity, and a wonderful sense of color. Paterson was awarded The Composer of The Year at Carnegie Hall from the Classical Recording Foundation in 2011. The Book of Goddesses was on the Grammy® nomination ballot this past year for Best Contemporary Classical Composition and was named one of the Top 10 favorite pieces of the year by NPR's Best Music of 2012.
His works have been played by the Louisville Orchestra, Minnesota Orchestra, Albany Symphony and the American Composers Orchestra. Upcoming engagements include a commission with the Utah Arts Festival via winning their 2013 competition, Safe Word with Fort Worth Opera's Frontiers Showcase, and an album of Paterson's choral works to be recorded with Musica Sacra and conductor, Kent Tritle. Paterson resides in New York City with his wife, Victoria, and their son, Dylan.
Program Notes are provided by the composer:
"Vermont is famous for its green mountains, but I often find myself taking long drives through the mountains on overcast days or even at night, when the mountains lose color and become gray silhouettes. Many roads in Vermont are so dark, particularly in the Northeast Kingdom, that you need to use headlights, even during the day. Dark Mountains is meant to portray the beauty and grandeur of the mountains and the peacefulness of the open roads, but also the darkness and occasional treacherous passes one may encounter during the evening hours. The piece is in three connected sections. The first section portrays the calmness and austerity of a quiet evening. The second is inspired by a fast drive down winding country roads, with twists and turns, frequent tempo changes and shifting gears. The final section evokes the feeling of looking at the nighttime sky with moonlight shining through the trees and the sounds of nature in the distance."
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
b. January 27, 1756 in Salzburg, Austria; d. December 5, 1791 in Vienna, Austria.
Piano Concerto No. 20 in D Minor, K. 466. Premiered February 11, 1785 in Vienna, with the composer as soloist.
The year 1785 marked an important turning point in Mozart's attitude toward his work and his public, a change in which this D minor Concerto was central. When he tossed over his secure but hated position as composer and concertmaster to the Archbishop Colloredo in his native Salzburg, he determined that, at age 25, he would go to Vienna to seek his fame and fortune as a piano virtuoso. He found both, at least for the first few years, during which he gave a large number of "Academies," instrumental and vocal concerts that were popular during the Lenten season, when regular theatrical and operatic activities were proscribed by the Church. His concertos for those Academies winningly satisfied the Viennese requirement for pleasantly diverting entertainment, and they were among the most eagerly awaited of his new music. There was something for everyone in them, he told his father in a letter of 1782, the time of the first Viennese concertos (K. 413, 414, 415): "The concertos straddle the line between that which is too difficult and too easy; they are brilliant and pleasant for the ears, of course without being empty. Now and then connoisseurs too can receive satisfaction, but so that those who are not will be content without knowing why." His success in 1784 may be gauged by the length of the subscription list for his concerts, which included more than 150 names representing the cream of the local nobility: eight princes, one duke, two counts, one countess, one baroness, and many others of similar pedigrees. The D minor Concerto must have puzzled the concert habitués of Vienna. This new and disturbing work, from a composer who had previously offered such ingratiating pieces, did not conform to their standard for a pleasant evening's diversion. Instead, it demanded greater attention and deeper emotional involvement than they were prepared to expend. Mozart's tendency in his later years toward a more subtle and more profound expression was gained at the expense of alienating his listeners. One bemused musical amateur, for example, returned to the publisher his set of parts for the new quartets dedicated to Haydn because he was convinced such wide-ranging harmony as they contained was the result of engraver's error rather than composer's choice. Another customer simply tore up his copy and sent a scornful letter to the publisher demanding his money back. Emperor Joseph II lamented that Mozart's works contained "too many notes," and that there was simply no reason to write music with such complex textures and harmonies. Even Karl Ditters von Dittersdorf, a distinguished composer of the time who undoubtedly envied Mozart's melodic gift, grumbled about "the amazing wealth of ideas—I could almost wish he were not so lavish in using them. He leaves his hearer out of breath, for hardly has he grasped one beautiful thought than another of greater fascination dispels the first, and this goes on throughout, so that in the end it is impossible to retain any one of these beautiful melodies."
Harmony, texture, melody: by 1785, Mozart was using these elements to produce music that would satisfy his artistic vision rather than cater to the whims of the Viennese audiences. The concept of a composition as the expression of a musician's inner feelings rather than as an agreeable adornment to a specific concert, church service or public ceremony, which was to gain overwhelming importance during the Romantic age, arose with Mozart. Before him, virtually all music had been written on commission—made to order for a particular occasion. Mozart, and, of course, Beethoven, riding the waves of change in all areas of social and cultural thought that swept Europe in the late 18th century, altered forever the way in which the artist perceived and is perceived. Mozart's aristocratic patrons were not quite ready for such revolutionary ideas, and it is little surprise that when he circulated a subscription list for his 1789 Academies, it was returned with only one signature. It is little thanks to Vienna that Mozart's most sublime masterworks—Don Giovanni, the G minor Quintet, the Requiem, the G minor Symphony, this D minor Concerto—were created.
It is fortunate for modern listeners that Mozart was courageous enough to write music that transcended the undemanding taste of his contemporaries. The very qualities that baffled them have enabled his works not only to survive but to flourish long after most 18th-century music has been forgotten. The D minor Concerto looks forward to the richly expressive, emotionally volatile music of the Romantic Age, and, because of this quality, it was the most often performed of his concertos during the 19th century. Cuthbert Girdlestone summarized the mood of the work in his study of Mozart's concertos: "[The key] of D minor is associated in Mozart with a dusky, foreboding, inward, unlyrical emotion, a passion of struggle rather than laments and cries, expressive of threatening fate. It speaks of danger, physical and moral." This great Concerto is a work not only of pianistic brilliance and technical perfection, but one that also explores deep-seated sentiments—music to stir both heart and mind.
The first movement of the D minor Concerto "begins with a shudder and is full of unhappy commotion," according to Mozart authority Eric Blom. It follows the concert-sonata form that Mozart had perfected in his earlier works for piano and orchestra, and is filled with conflict between soloist and tutti which is heightened by enormous harmonic, dynamic, and rhythmic tensions. The second movement, titled "Romanza," moves to the brighter key of B-flat major to provide a contrast to the stormy opening Allegro, but even this lovely music summons a dark, minor-mode intensity form one of its episodes. The finale is a complex sonata-rondo form with developmental episodes. The D major coda that ends the work provides less a light-hearted, happy conclusion than a sense of catharsis capping the magnificent cumulative drama of this noble masterwork. Girdlestone wrote of this work, simply, "The D minor may claim to represent Mozart at his highest point of creative power."
Richard Strauss
b. June 11, 1864 in Munich, Germany; d. September 8, 1949 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany.
Also sprach Zarathustra, Op. 30. Premiered in Frankfurt on November 27, 1896, conducted by the composer.
The key to understanding Also sprach Zarathustra was given by Strauss himself in a letter to his friend Otto Florscheim at the time of the work's Berlin premiere. "I did not intend to write philosophical music or to portray in music Nietzsche's great work," he wrote. "I meant to convey by means of music an idea of the development of the human race from its origin, through the various phases of its development, religious and scientific, up to Nietzsche's idea of the Superman. The whole symphonic poem is intended as my homage to Nietzsche's genius, which found its greatest exemplification in his book Thus spake Zarathustra." These duties are, in themselves, more than enough to ask of any piece of music. To go further and "attempt to reveal [in sound] a specific philosophical system or detailed philosophical teaching," wrote George R. Marek, "must end in failure." Against this background, it seems probably that Nietzsche's book was little more than the source of generating in Strauss what he called "a poetical idea," a literary hook upon which to hang a piece of music. In his exhaustive biography of the composer, Norman Del Mar brought out the most important point in this entire matter: "Ultimately it is the sheer quality of the musical material and its organization which counts, while the greater or lesser degree to which it succeeds in the misty philosophizing which conjured it into being is wholly immaterial."
Though its philosophical intentions are correctly questioned, there has never been any doubt about the expressive powers of this music. (It was the Budapest premiere of Also sprach Zarathustra that inspired the young Béla Bartók to devote his life to composition.) The sections of Strauss' tone poem mirror several string emotional states, as indicated by the following program note which appeared at the work's premiere: "First movement: Sunrise, Man feels the power of God. Andante religioso. But still man longs. He plunges into passion (second movement) and finds no peace. He turns toward science, and tries in vain to solve life's problems in a fugue (third movement). Then agreeable dance tunes sound and he becomes an individual, and his soul soars upward while the world sinks far below him." There is a progression inherent in the work, a sort of a-religious Pilgrim's Progress, toward some transcendent state. One German writer, Rudolf Kliber, viewed Also sprach Zarathustra as "a colorfully formed music-drama without words… Strauss chose from the poem the speeches of Zarathustra to create a kind of scenario for the content and form of the work." There are three overtly programmatic elements that unify the work. The first is heard immediately at the outset. It is the theme of nature, the unison call by four trumpets based on the most fundamental acoustical pitches in the musical spectrum: C-G-C. The second is a sinister theme, perhaps depicting Fate, introduced by the trombones in the section Of Joys and Passions. The third is the conflict between the C tonality—representing Nature—and that of B, the latter standing for Man's aspirations. The unsettled struggle between these two (the technical term is bi-tonality) is most clearly discerned at the very end of the work, but it occurs many times throughout the piece.
Though Strauss supplied individual titles for the eight sections of Also sprach Zarathustra following the Prologue, the work is performed continuously. It opens with one of music's greatest fanfares—a blazing tonal depiction of a radiant sunrise, based on the Nature theme proclaimed by unison trumpets. (The unforgettable image that Stanley Kubrick supplied for this music in his film, 2001: A Space Odyssey, could not have been more appropriate.) Von den Hinternweltern ("Of the Inhabitants of the Unseen World") presents three thematic elements in quick succession: a tortuous figure on muted, tremolo cellos and basses; a bounding, upward fragment (the theme of Man, in the key of B) in pizzicato strings; and the first notes of the ancient liturgical chant, Credo in unum deum ("I believe in one God") in the muted horns. This brief passage is followed by a chorale-like hymn—marked "with devotion"—for strings divided into nineteen separate parts, organ and horns, which rises to an intense climax before quickly subsiding.
Von der grossen Sehnsucht ("Of the Great Longing") resumes, in a truncated version, the theme of Man. The intonation Magnificat is given out by the organ; the horns again sound the Credo. A churning, wide-ranging motive tossed out by the low strings generates a whirling hail of rushing scales and leaps, whose impetuosity carries over into the next section, Von den Freuden und Leidenschaften ("Of Joys and Passions"). The music acquires a heroic but stormy character, from which the trombones blare forth the sinister Fate motive that gains much importance as the work unfolds. Das Grablied ("Dirge"), more a nostalgic remembrance of youthful follies-than a funereal procession, combines the bounding theme of Man with the rhythmically active themes of the preceding section. The music quiets and slows to lead into Von der Wissenschaft ("Of Science").
To represent Science, Strauss used that most learned of all musical forms, a fugue, which rumbles ponderously up from the depths of the basses into the violas and bassoons, maintaining its lugubrious tone color throughout. This cunningly calculated theme derives from the open intervals of the Nature motive (C-G-C) and goes on to include all twelve notes of the chromatic scale. (This is not, however, a "twelve-tone" piece.) Quick rhythmic motion returns with the recapitulation of the theme of Man and a sweet theme in thirds, played by the flutes and violins. A springing, dance-like stanza floating high in the orchestra is followed by a mysterious presentation of the Nature theme (trumpet) accompanied by chirping calls from the woodwinds, based on the Fate theme. (Strauss was a master of transforming a theme into an astonishing number of variants suitable to almost any emotional context, a technique derived from Beethoven and Liszt.)
The next section, Der Genesende ("The Convalescent"), the longest thus far, utilizes several of the work's themes. The fugue is re-activated by the trombones. The Fate motive, which initially forms much of the swirling figuration, later comes to dominate this section. The music reaches a shattering, sustained climax, followed by complete silence. Man's theme reappears, timidly at first, but with growing vigor. It gives way to rustlings in the woodwinds which form background to the herald call of the trumpet. The rustlings continue as Man's bounding theme vies with the Fate theme. The invigorating springiness returns and is punctuated by grand sweeping gestures from the strings. A sudden hush comes over the music, with only twitterings from woodwinds and a sustained version of the Nature theme introducing the next section, Das Tanzlied ("The Dance-Song").
The dance turns out to be a fully developed Viennese waltz, initiated by the solo violin and accompanied by figuration in the oboes which derives from the Nature theme. (Shades of Johann Strauss, Jr.—no relation—leading his popular band with violin in hand flash in the mind's eye. Richard was an ardent admirer of Johann, and copied the waltz style in several other of his works, this being the earliest example.) After quite some time, the theme of Man returns and schieves irts grandest, climatic expression. Gradually, the Fate theme overtakes the joy of this moment, however, despite one last gigantic catharsis of Man's theme. Nachtwandlerlied ("The Night Wanderer's Song") begins on the crest of this climax, with a determined display of power. Slowly, the energy drains from the music, leaving in its shadow a wan recollection of the earlier sweet theme in thirds presented by the violins and then clarinets. Calm, or perhaps mystery, overcomes the music as it reaches its close, with the B major chord of Man fading softly into the ether of the orchestral palette while the throbbing C of Nature lingers in the subterranean depths of the basses. The conflict is left unsettled.
Of the Strauss tone poems Lawrence Gilman wrote, "[He] taught his generation a new approach to making instrumental music articulate and significant. He showed them how to deal with it in two seemingly contradictory ways: how to expand and how to concentrate it. He applied to it an immensely widened range of human experience. He seemed to touch life with generous daring, and at every side—at its loveliest and noblest, at its most disordered, pitiable and grotesque. He had learned how to convey experience still drenched in its essential colors, pungent with its veritable odors, rich with all its implications."

Gabriela Montero's visionary interpretations have won her a quickly expanding audience and devoted following around the world. Her engagements include acclaimed performances with the New York Philharmonic, LA Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl, Cleveland Orchestra, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, San Francisco Symphony, Chicago Symphony, Pittsburgh Symphony, Philadelphia Orchestra, Philharmonia Orchestra at the Royal Festival Hall, and WDR Sinfonieorchestre Koln. Recent collaborators include conductors Claudio Abbado, Gustavo Dudamel, James Gaffigan, Lorin Maazel, Yannick Nezet-Seguin, and Leonard Slatkin. In recital she has appeared at the festivals of Salzburg, Istanbul, Kuhr, Ravinia, and Tanglewood, as well as the Koln Philharmonie, Tonhalle Dusseldorf, Kennedy Center and Library of Congress in Washington DC, Wigmore Hall in London, Gewandhaus Leipzig, National Arts Centre Ottawa, Orchard Hall Tokyo and at the 'Progetto Martha Argerich' Festival in Lugano where she is invited annually.
Ms. Montero's 2012/13 season highlights include her debut with the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin and a European recital tour with cellist Gautier Capuçon. She returns for performances with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and Rotterdam Philharmonic. Ms. Montero recently toured with the Academy of St Martin in the Fields and The Cleveland Orchestra, and she performs regularly with Vienna Radio Orchestra and the Zurich Chamber Orchestra.
In addition to her brilliant and nuanced classical interpretations, Gabriela Montero's unique personal style comes from her improvisational gifts. "I connect to my audience in a completely unique way – and they connect with me. Because improvisation is such a huge part of who I am, it is the most natural and spontaneous way I can express myself". Today, in both recital and after performing a concerto, Gabriela often invites her audience to participate in asking for a melody for improvisations.
It has long been a desire to take her improvisations to the next logical step of composition. Gabriela has enthusiastically embarked on this new phase of her career by composing a work entitled ExPatria for piano and orchestra. Her composition received its premiere performances in London and on tour in Germany with the Academy of St Martin in the Fields orchestra. In these concerts, her multi-faceted talents were featured along with her new work as Ms. Montero performed Beethoven's Emperor Concerto as well as her legendary solo improvisations. Ms. Montero will revisit ExPatria this season with orchestras in the United States and Europe.
Gabriela's innovative perspectives are also in wide demand outside of the classical music world. For the second time, Gabriela Montero is invited to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland as a featured speaker. She also participates in the Women of the World Festival held at London's Southbank Centre. Ms. Montero performed at the invitation of the White House for President Obama's inauguration in 2008. She is an honored recipient of the 2012 Rockefeller Award for her contributions to the arts.
Ms. Montero's recordings for EMI Classics comprises of one disc of music by Rachmaninov, Chopin and Liszt and a second of her deeply felt and technically brilliant improvisations. Her EMI CD Bach and Beyond is a complete disc of improvisations on themes by Bach which topped the charts for several months. She earned two ECHO Awards from the Deutsche Phono-Akademie: the Keyboard Instrumentalist of the Year Award in 2006, and the Klassik-ohne-Grenzen Award for Bach and Beyond in 2007. In February 2008 her follow up EMI recording of improvisations Baroque was nominated for a Grammy Award and released with great critical acclaim, receiving 5 star reviews from BBC Music Magazine and Classic FM. Gabriela's most recent recording Solatino, released by EMI Classics in January, is devoted exclusively to works by Latin American composers. She selected the works of six composers, including Alberto Ginastera's Piano Sonata No. 1 as well as her own improvisations on Latin themes.
Born in Caracas Venezuela, Gabriela gave her first public performance at the age of five. At the age of eight she made her concerto debut in Caracas and was granted a scholarship from the Venezuelan Government to study in the USA. She currently resides in Massachusetts with her two daughters.

If you've been wanting to try an audiobook, you should try the Harry Potter books. Jim Dale reads these and is often referred to as the "voice" of Harry Potter. He spent 8 years creating more than 200 voices for all the characters in the Harry Potter books. For his work on the series, he won a Grammy Award and he holds the record for creating the most voices in an audiobook in the Guinness Book of World Records. I highly recommend listening to these. You're in for a real treat!

Delicious! This has a very unique and wonderful flavor, and it's always nice to have something tasty that isn't more of the same in our dinner rotation. I substituted chicken for turkey, used some almond butter I had on hand instead of making my own, and added a whole chipotle pepper (might add even more next time). Served over brown rice with a salad on the side. To the reviewer wondering about the chocolate, I think they meant this to be an "almond mole," where the almond replaces the chocolate even though that's technically a misnomer. Kind of like "white chocolate" (but less icky). :)

I love this recipe and have cooked it many times. I agree that it could use a little more heat. Also this recipe creates a lot of sauce so you can easily cook 2+ lbs of turkey and feed more people. It stores great and tastes good with peas! :)
Margs24 Posted: 11/01/09
One of the best recipes I have tried and very easy. Definitely worthy of serving to company. We all loved it.
royjd98 Posted: 06/22/10
First time we've tried this. Used leftover smoked turkey. It was fabulous! Can't wait to smoke another turkey just to use this recipe again!
AlinaT Posted: 02/28/11
This was really great. I replaced the turkey with 1 pound of chicken and it turned out fantastic. I used a whole adobo chile, and that gave it barely there, subtle heat. If split into 4 servings, this is only 6 Weight Watchers points! Served it over brown rice, and I thought it was amazing!
Diddlebits Posted: 12/19/11
I agree with folks on the CookingLight community discussions who did not love this dish, but I think it has potential. To my family of 4, the dish was too sweet and too nutty tasting. I followed the recipe with the exception of having to substitute ancho for the anaheim chile, and I used a whole chipotle, hoping for a touch of spice. I had expected something more like a creamy textured fire roasted enchilada sauce with some spice, but my daughters said this dish smelled like cinnamon or gingerbread while cooking, and it tasted a bit like garam masala mixed with nut butter, if that makes any sense. I liked the consistency, so I might try this again using none of or only 1/4 of the nut blend, a bit more torn tortillas for texture help and 2-3 chipotles, and I would leave out the cloves and perhaps use part cumin/part chili powder.
mrmacrae73 Posted: 01/06/12
This is a family favorite. Not only do we look forward to Turkey on Thanksgiving day, but we also covet the Smokey Turkey Almond Mole with the leftovers! I always make the dish exactly as directed. However, if you have spice lovers in your group, a couple dashes of cayenne pepper add a special kick. I serve it with heated flour tortillas and all the traditional fajita "fixins," including pico de gallo, shredded cheese, Spanish rice, sliced avocado, and sour cream on the side. Build your own, it's perfect every time!

A bill to shorten the period during which women may seek abortions passed the state Senate this evening, but not before 13 Republican state senators joined Democrats to substantially change it – raising the possibility that it might not pass before the Legislature adjourns on Thursday.
The bill is sponsored by state Rep. Doug McKillip, R-Athens, who switched parties 18 months ago. If he recommends it, the House would likely accept the changes, sending the bill quickly to the governor.
But Dan Becker, president of Georgia Right to Life, said he will encourage McKillip not to do so, increasing the chances that the bill could get bogged down in the last-minute dickering between the two chambers.
Despite warnings from Senate sponsor Renee Unterman, R-Buford, that amendments were intended to kill the bill, Senate Republicans joined Democrats to make two substantial changes. One was an effort to protect physicians hit with civil suits as a result of the legislation.
But Becker said he was particularly upset by the exemption granted to "medically futile" pregnancies.
Opponents argued that the bill would force women to carry fetuses that stood no chance of survival to full term. Becker countered that tests indicating non-viability often produce false positives – that is, they indicate problems where none exist. "This is the first step toward a eugenics policy," Becker said.
Earlier in the day, the Peach Tea Party – a conservative coalition that includes GRTL – served notice on 17 House Republicans, many of whom had voted against HB 954 – that they would face opposition in the July primaries. Those 13 GOP senators who voted to amend HB 954 now may be placed on the same list. They are: John Bulloch, R-Ochlocknee; Ronnie Chance, R-Tyrone; Bill Cowsert, R-Athens; John Crosby, R-Tifton; Frank Ginn, R-Danielsville; Greg Goggans, R-Douglas; Tim Golden, R-Valdosta; Johnny Grant, R-Milledgeville; Bill Jackson, R-Appling; Fran Millar, R-Dunwoody; Jack Murphy, R-Cumming; Cecil Staton, R-Macon; and Ross Tolleson, R-Perry.

Dan "Barren" Becker is a misogynist moonbat and the Peach "Tea" PAC is NOT "TEA". Their attempt to gain credibility among those of us who know their true Pharisee nature is laughable.

Not ready to do back flips yet, but it is encouraging that the moderate voice is at least getting some exposure to daylight.

Dan is just like any other lobbyist. We hire them to make sure the elected officials are toeing the line and are passing the legislation we want them to pass.

"But Dan Becker, president of Georgia Right to Life, said he will encourage McKillip not to do so, increasing the chances that the bill could get bogged down in the last-minute dickering between the two chambers."
Jim, I think that you had a Freudian slip moment with that sentence, which is okay because that's what most Georgians really think of the legislature, especially when the morons completely hijack the process as they are known to frequently do in the Georgia General Assembly.

"Earlier in the day, the Peach Tea Party – a conservative coalition that includes GRTL – served notice on 17 House Republicans, many of whom had voted against HB 954 – that they would face opposition in the July primaries."
What the Peach Tea Party meant to say was that the 17 GOP House Republicans and 13 GOP Senators who voted against and amended this bill will face opposition in the July primaries that is so amateurish and unelectable that it'll seem as if the incumbents they're facing are running completely unopposed.

"We hire them to make sure the elected officials are toeing the line "
Classic case of overreach there td.
Lobbyists (and those that pay them) have no interest in seeing that our legislators "toe the line".
A lobbyist's job is to try and influence legislation that is favorable to whatever special interest group hires them.

You are correct about most lobbyist groups but there are certain groups that are powerful enough to make there legislators toe the line. This group is one of them and so are the teachers lobbyist and the NAACP. These groups carry a great deal of power and do not just try to persuade legislation but demand the legislature to perform in a certain matter.

What you are seeing is the power of the people. Look at where these GOPers that stopped this bill are from(both the initial people who voted against and the amendment), I promise you they were getting beat up by their own constituents…and I am sure in many cases it was their own supporters warning them not to let this pass.
Where Peach Tea PAC will call them RINOS, I think it is safe to say we can call them safely re-elected in their own districts.

These same people that want no abortion and not contraception would likely tell you they believe God gave people "free will" and that they believe in individual "liberty" guaranteed to us by our Constitution–
yet here they are trying to move our republic toward a theocracy by trying to take away both.

"Adolf Hitler in the late 1930s started the T4 Aktion (Action) program, named after the main office's address at Tiergartenstrasse 4 in Berlin, to exterminate "useless eaters," babies born with disabilities. When any baby was born in Germany, the attending nurse had to note any indication of disability and immediately notify T4 officials – a team of physicians, politicians and military leaders. In October 1939 Hitler issued a directive allowing physicians to grant a "mercy death" to "patients considered incurable according to the best available human judgment of their state of health.
Thereafter, the program expanded to include older children and adults with disabilities, and anyone anywhere in the Third Reich was subject to execution who was blind, deaf, senile, retarded, or had any significant neurological condition, encephalitis, epilepsy, muscular spasticity or paralysis. Six killing centers were eventually established, and an estimated quarter-million people with disabilities were executed . . .Princeton University bioethicist Peter Singer says, 'Killing a disabled infant is not morally equivalent to killing a person.'"

Some of the exact same language from the article above is contained in the Amendment authored by Bulloch and passed by the Senate. It is the first rung of the "slippery slope" that led to the death of over 6 million Jews, gypsies and other "less than human" post-birth "fetuses". Pre-birth "mercy killing" leads to post-birth or after-birth abortions.

The babies won't live, Dan. That's why the pregancies can end. Where is eugenics in this? Don't believe the hype. Why do legislators listen to this idiot? I hope he kills his own bill. Banning Abortions after 20 weeks isn't good enough. He's got to ban "abortions" for babies that are going to die anyway, too.

You lib woman are so funny. It is the conservative women that are a lot more adamant about these types of pro choice laws then the conservative men are and all of you are trying to portray it as a man v woman thing.
I do not like the half measures because I think abortion is nothing more then murder and we should outlaw it in the state and take the issue back before the SCOTUS and take our chances.

Shoshanna, let me tell you a tale of two lives.
Over 20 years ago, my nephew was born to my brother and his wife. He is severely autistic and needs constant care 24/7. He's a great kid, but trapped inside his mind forever.
Around the time he was discovered to be autistic, my brother began, for a variety of reasons, to drink excessively. I don't entirely blame the birth of my nephew, but he was certainly a contributing factor in the acceleration of my brother's alcoholism. For a while, my brother was sober for many of the intervening years between my nephew's birth through around 2 years ago.
Then my brother fell off the wagon, and fell hard. Again, there were likely many things that contributed to his drinking again; war memories from Desert Storm, the economy, things totally out of his control including the life of his son, my nephew.
Last year, on September 26th, my brother tried to kill himself for the fourth time. This time he succeeded where he had failed each time before.
Was his son's severe autism the contributing factor in his drinking and eventual suicide? No one knows the answer and no one never will, now. But if I had known that he would not have gone through the 20 years of pure Hell he went through because of my nephew's condition, I would gladly have counseled abortion in order to have my brother still alive today.
What you and your ilk do in attempting to force women to carry to term fetuses created as a result of incest and rape, and now to carry unviable children who will never know anything, or if they do it will only be pain and suffering and tragedy for the parents, is nothing short of monstrous.
If YOU don't like abortions, don't have one.
Congratulations! You've saved a life!
What are you going to do to bring my baby brother back, you monster?

if after 16 yrs of marriage by chance i become pregnant, the choice of what to do should be my husbands and mine. they want to condemn us for using contraception and planning, want the next generation to be dumb blind and deaf about the realities of sex and safety. little by little our "GOD" given free will to make our own choices are being taken away by those want to be the morality police. let he cast the first stone……right they will throw it and hide their hands. the whole point of separationof church and state is because of this perfect example. just stay the hell out of my bedroom and my body.

This changes nothing, even if this bill fails to be passed this year, with these fools still in office next year, they can bring back the same thing again.

"The babies won't live, Dan. That's why the pregancies can end. Where is eugenics in this?"-
Eugenics is precisely the identification of the "less than perfect", not so to attempt to heal them, but to eliminate their "defective genes" from the gene pool and from society. Kill off all the defective humans, and you only have "perfect" ones left. Removing a dead child -whose death is not attributable to any person – is one thing; killing a living child due to disabilities/defects is where eugenics begins. You cannot predict with 100% certainty which child will die, and even if you could you are advocating active killing, which must stop. Recently the news featured those who advocate killing newborns because they are no different than pre-born children, only their location. That proves the line of thought progresses forward into infanticide as well.

If a woman wants to abort a fetus that has a cruel disease such as Tay Sachs, but is forced to deliver the baby anyway, will Doug McKillip pay for the millions of dollars in health care that it will take to keep that child alive and in pain? He's so worried about the pain. Is it better to force a woman to have a child with a debilitating disease that makes the child live in agony for several years? This situation has devolved to insanity. With doctors telling these a$$holes the scientific truth, the legislators ignore the truth and force us to live with their consequences.

So. Let's recap. Becker believes abortion is murder. Others do not. Who is right? Since evidence of a soul requires faith, the inception of the soul would likewise require it. Differences of beliefs on this point can not be reconciled.
James Madison once said that the government should stay away from "affairs of the conscience" and it would seem this is that situation. Live according to your beliefs and let others do the same.
Rome is burning without water to quelsh it, without roads to escape it and without education to know how to correct it and the legislature spends its day arguing over differing religious beliefs.

Dan Becker = Fringe opportunist who gets off on being Georgia's self-appointed judge of women. He'd like to paint himself as a savior of babies and a morality watchdog, but the sad fact is, he is neither. He gets is name and picture in the paper, and makes a nice living for himself peddling misogyny.
HB 954 has nothing whatsoever to do with saving lives. It serves only to punish women who are already well into their efforts to bear fruit at the most painful and tragic time of their lives: getting the news that the pregnancy they're halfway through not only will not end as planned, but could kill them or destroy their chances to bear healthy fruit in the future.
Dan Becker cares about women and children the way Kim Jong Il cared about freedom: NOT AT ALL.
How disappointing to learn that so many of our state reps and senators have decided that PHYSICIANS and WOMEN of GEORGIA CANNOT BE TRUSTED, and therefore require government intervention to allow Dan Becker to make medical decisions for them.
Have they arrested this Pr**k for stealing the laptops from the state ob/gyn association yet?

"We The People don't hire them, corporations and special interests do."
Who do you think special interest groups and corporations are? We the people? Should teachers not be able to ban together and hire a person to go to the legislature and ask the representatives to pass legislation that will help them? What is the difference between a group asking and an individual asking (besides the fact that the legislator will ignore the individual).

I'm not surprised that (finally!) 13 Republicans came down on the side of reason. I'm disappointed that there are not more rational people in that Georgia GOP. When does this GOP push for government intrusion into our lives end? How far into the deep end can the radical end of the party lead them before they realize they are in danger? 13 rational and reasonable Republicans just realized the answer. They have my full support because the reactionary zombies of the far right will surely come for them for the sin of using critical thinking.

"This group is one of them and so are the teachers lobbyist and the NAACP. These groups carry a great deal of power and do not just try to persuade legislation but demand the legislature to perform in a certain matter."
If the teacher organizations have any power I'd love to see it demonstarted in some real way. Four years of cutbacks, furloughs, increasing class sizes and no raises, make this claim dubious.

Seriously, was Unterman really the only female Senator they could find to front for the bill? Wasn't she the one that was ordered by a judge to not see or speak to her own daughter after she was accused of threatening her husband's life while firing a gun and striking him. If you want people to believe that your interest is really doing what is best for the child, at least find a spokeswoman who knows what that really means.

There was no group immune from the recession. When state revenues dropped from $22 billion to $16 billion in a 2 year period of time and education is 56% of the states budget then teachers had to feel some pain as well. The teachers association was strong enough to survive two years without the pain that the rest of the state employees had too suffer and teachers had a raise since state employees had a raise. Also, teachers are the only state employees that have tenure rights because they were strong enough to get rid of the governor that took them away from them. Yes, teachers have a very strong lobbyist and get advantages that other state employees do not have.

I want government to be as small as possible, responsible to the people and involved in the least amount of our lives as possible.
Why should I want revenues increased when we can not expect government to make wise decisions? Why is when education was being starved that non of the county school systems cut the bloated bureaucracies? Why did they not cut salaries of leadership?
As you have said before you are a business owner, what would happen to your business if you cut the people that had direct contact with the customer to keep someone that writes policies for your company and you pay the non producing employees the same amount of money you pay for 3 front line employees?
