GOP strategist Karl Rove will headline a series of fundraising events for U.S. Senate candidate Thom Tillis in mid-November, an aide to the former Bush administration official confirmed to Dome. The details are still being finalized but Rove and Tillis are likely to hit events across the state, Tillis allies said.
Next week, Tillis will attend a reception hosted by Rove's political action committee, Crossroads GPS, which spent big money in the 2012 election. Democratic incumbent Kay Hagan used Rove as a foil in one of her recent fundraising pitches -- showing Rove's close link to Tillis may help both sides.
As Tillis focuses on raising money his latest rival Mark Harris begins a high-flying announcement tour for next week. Read about it and more North Carolina political news below in the Dome Morning Memo.***

It's interesting how this affected my writing yesterday. I've been plotting, planning and diagramming like crazy for about a week in a full-steam-ahead onslaught to starting "TAKERS II" (omg I need a better title), and finally yesterday I was ready to actually put words to page (fingers to keyboard) to start actually writing the thing.
And I thought, with all the noise going on out there, all the conversation I could hear from my roomies (some in the form of hollering across our rather large house) in spite of the fact that I'm in my own office with my door closed, how the heck am I going to be able to actually get inside this character of mine and write like I'm him? It's no easy feat even on the best of days, I tell you.
But the most interesting thing happened. In spite of – nay, because of – the controlled chaos going on in the rest of the house, I actually completed not only the book's first chapter, but its first two chapters!
Go figure.
I should thank my roomies for offering me this insight into how I work. Apparently when I feel like, "Holy crap, quick, I gotta write before they need my muscles to help move something else," I write quickly and well. I was chatting with a friend on Twitter yesterday about that very thing. She said she also seems to write better when there's all kinds of 'stuff' going on around her. She asked if it was weird.
Apparently not.
I need to do a poll, because I would love to know of all of you out there who are writers yourselves – whether you're published or not is irrelevant to me, because if you tap something out on a keyboard or use a pen and a notebook, you're a writer in my book – how do you write best?
I suspect the answers would be as individual as the people responding. I've read where some authors claim they need to stick to a very rigid schedule or they won't write at all. Others can write under any circumstance and still others, like my Twitter friend, thrive on noise and chaos.
I do find that I write better when I have my 'writing music' blasting, whether through my ear buds or just from my iPhone sitting on the desk next to me. And my music tastes take the cake for defining the word 'eclectic.' I've got everything from Andrea Bocelli to ABBA to Ke$ha. Lady Gaga to Josh Groban to Eminem. I've got TV soundtracks (Hawaii Five-0), movie soundtracks (Feed, Mamma Mia!), Diddy, Elvis Presley and Hoobastank. Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jessie J, Katy Perry and Colbie Caillat. Oh, and we mustn't forget about Evanescence, Train, Pink, Nickelback, Dr. Hook, Led Zeppelin and Marilyn Manson. I mean, we're talking serious variety.
What can I say? I'm not a genre girl. I like a song because I like a song, not because it's 'blues' or 'rock' or 'heavy metal' or 'pop.'
How many other writers listen to music while they write, I wonder. I'm going to go look for a poll widget…
And yet I find that I can also write in complete and total silence. I get up really early in the morning, usually before five a.m., and on weekends that is the best, because it guarantees me at least four hours of having the world to myself. Lots of times I'll just sit in the peace of my office and get all sorts of stuff written. Other times, I can't type the word 'the' to save my life.
I'm not sure what it is that ebbs and flows within me that allows me to write or says, "Nope, not today." But in spite of all these people who say you must force yourself to write every day whether you feel like it or not, I find that if I force myself when I'm not inspired, the result is for shit. As in, it sucks. Badly, sometimes.
But when I'm inspired, it's 94 words-per-minute, no-holds-barred, holy crap, she can write a novel in a week type of thing.
I just take my inspiration as it comes, and continue to marvel when I perform some new feat I didn't think I'd be able to – like writing the first two chapters of a new novel with things as heavy as beds and boxes of books being dragged all over the place just outside my door. And calls of "We need Ox, Incorporated to help!"
(When I was younger, I was known as "The Ox" by my friends because for a female I had a ridiculously strong back – and was just strong all the way around. For example, I moved a love seat where both sides of it were recliners…we're talking full-blown metal workings, everything…all by myself when my friend threw her back out and couldn't help. That mother was heavy.)
So thanks, Roomies! Another thing to add to my list of "Yeah, I'm Weird…But I'm a Writer, so That's Normal!"
Don't forget, if you want to have a look at the first 3-1/2 chapters of my first published novel, "TAKERS," you can click on the book cover over in my right sidebar here, or on the link in the Links section (also on the right sidebar). It's currently only available on Amazon.com in Kindle format. My publisher's battling through the flu to try and get it out on Smashwords so you'll be able to download it to other types of readers and in PDF if you want.

Maureen and Mike Mansfield Library Digital Collections
July 11, 1967 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD- SENATE 89353
Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President, yesterday
a thoughtful, considered speech
was made by our colleague, the distinguished
Senator from New Jersey [Mr.
CASE]. The subject was Vietnam. One
does not have to agree with every
thought contained in that speech to recognize
it as constructive and helpful. It
showed a facing up to the realities in
the situation in that unhappy country.
It was the work of a concerned, responsible
American carrying out his responsibilities
as an elected Member of the
Senate. It was an expression of an effort
to be helpful to our country by advancing
ways and means which might provide
a way around the impasse in which
we find ourselves in Vietnam.
Our distinguished colleague from New
Jersey [Mr. CASE] is to be commended
for the sense of sober responsibility
which he has shown. I would hope that
what I have to say will be useful in the
same sense.
The most difficult subject to talk on
today is the question of Vietnam. Regardless
of how one feels about It, it is
an issue which is in the mind of everyone.
It is an issue which overshadows all
For several weeks, events in the Middle
East have held the attention of this
Nation and the United Nations. It is not
surprising that interest in the situation
there is high. What transpires at the
crossroads of Asia, Europe, and Africa
has long been of many-sided concern to
the world.
It is time to note, however, that for
the most part the guns are silent in
Sinai and along the other frontiers of
Israel. All the while, though, they continue
to shatter the stillness at the 17th
parallel in Vietnam. Even as the last of
the fallen from the recent desert war are
counted. the dead continue to pile up in
Vietnam. If the plight of the refugees
from less than a week of conflict in the
Middle East weighs heavily on the human
conscience, what is to be said of the immense
accumulation of the uprooted and
homeless after years of war in Vietnam?
It does not minimize the recent clash
in the Middle East to point out that a
reasonably effective cease-fire has been
achieved and the central concern is now
the design of a peace which will inhibit
another outbreak of war. That is a far
cry from the situation in Vietnam. In
that tortured nation, the beginnings of
the beginning of peace are not yet in
sight. There is not even a glimmer of
the end.
To be sure there is a continuing danger
of a third world war emerging from
the local war in the Middle East. The
birth of a conftict among the great powers
will remain a possibility in the absence
of a durable settlement among the
small powers of that region. Who will
say, however, that a third world war is
not already incubating in the everdeepening
and expanding struggle in
Southeast Asia?
It seems to me that whatever the angle
from which these two situations are
viewed, Vietnam remains the most serious
disruption in the well-being of this
Nation and it constitutes for the United
Nations, the most urgent threat of a
third world war. That appears to me to
be the reality and it would be well to
keep in touch with it.
The need is especially acute at this
time when, once again, we are apparently
approaching a fork in the road in Vietnam.
The harbingers of significant decision
have emerged in the form of obscure
"official" rumblings, rumors, and
revelations concerning Vietnam. The
search, it is said, is being renewed for
a "more effective and extensive" use of
airpower agains·; North Vietnam which,
may I say, is probably another way of
asking why Hanoi and Haiphong are not
bombed into extinction. There is talk of
again lifting the American manpower
commitment in Vietnam-not much, it
is said, just another 100,000 or 2 in the
next few months--to add to the more
than half million or more men presently
engaged in and around Southeast Asia.
Ironically, this talk of the need for more
men comes at a time when it is revealed
that only one-sixth or one-seventh of
the U.S. troops already in Vietnam are
actually involved in combat.
The inference of these rumblings,
rumors, and revelations is that one further
step in military escalat.ion will carry
us over the top. The implication is that
one additional reach of American military
power deeper into Southeast Asia
will bring the sun of final victory out
from behind the restraining clouds.
And once again, Mr. President, the
Secretary of Defense has gone to Saigon
to make a firsthand evaluation of the
situation. According to the press he has
heard and accepted the most encouraging
reports of "progress" toward our
"objectives" in Vietnam. While I do not
in any sense question the accuracy or the
objectivity of the evaluations which he
has received, it must be asked in all
frankness what is meant by "progress"
toward our "objectives" in the context of
the present situation in Vietnam? In all
frankness, it must be said that these generalizations
of progress would be more
reassuring if they had not been heard
from American leaders in Vietnam at
many other times, stretching years into
the past. Indeed, I know of no American
leader, military or civilian, in Vietnam
during the past decade or more who has
contended that we were doing anything
else except making "progress" toward
our "objectives."
The fact is that reports of progress are
strewn, like burned out tanks, all along
the road which has led this Nation ever
more deeply into Vietnam and southeast
Asia during the past decade and a half.
They were pres·~nt when the sole function
of American military personnel in
Vietnam was that of aid suppliers to the
French-commanded Vietnamese loyalist
forces. They were present when our military
functions in Vietnam evolved into
that of trainers and advisers of the South
Vietnamese forces, to that of air transporters
and supparters, to that of combat
bulwarks and, finally, to that of combat
substitutes for the South Vietnamese
The generalization on progress, in
short, is the ever-present beat which is
to be heard throughout the transition of
the American military role from the most
remote and invisiblr rear to the most forward
and conspicuous front of the Vietnamese
war. It has been pn'sent, this
promise of progress. as the casuallies in
our forces in dead and wounded have increased
from less than 10 a year, to 10 a
month, to 10 a week, to 10 a day, to 10 an
hour of every hour of every day. It has
been present as the estimated expenditures
of the Federal Government for
Vietnam have increased from a few hundred
million a year, to $2 billion, to $12
billion, to the current level of probably
not less than $25 billion a year.
May I say that I have remarked on
these overlooked and negative aspects
of the Vietnamese situation, not In criticism
of our leaders in Vietnam or of the
Secretary of Defense, or the President.
These men have carried the immense responsibilities
of the war with integrity
and personal dedication. I have raised
them. rather, in the hope of introducing
a measure of historic perspective into the
consideration of the question of Vietnam
as we approach, apparently, another
point of significant decision. And may
I add that there are othrr aspects of the
question which should be raised in order
that the problem of Vietnam may be also
seen in the full scope of its worldwide
Yes, Mr. President, we can put anqther
100,000 men into Vietnam or, I sup·Jose,
200,000 or even more; there are a 1 )t of
young Americans. even though the supply
is not unlimited. Yes, we can mine
the harbor of Haiphong as we have already
mined the rivers of North Vietnam;
we have most effective mines and
the best sowing techniques. Yes, we can
level the city of Hanoi as we have leveled
its pawer plants; we have the ordnance,
as the circumlocution for bombs now
puts it.
It is to be hoped, however, that before
we embark on this course of expansion
toward total war in Vietnam, we will
pause for a long and sober think. Before
we take another significant step deeper
into Vietnam, it is to be hoped that we
will have asked ourselves at what point
we intend to increase taxes, apply the
wage and price controls, tighten the draft
exemptions, call up the Reserves, and
make the countless other adjustments
in our national life which are implicit in
further extensions of the American
It is to be hoped that we will have
asked ourselves. too, Mr. President. at
what point in this ever-increasing infusion
of American men and power into
South Vietnam we reduce the present
Vietnamese politico-military structure
which is based on Saigon to a final
It is to be hoped that we will have
asked ourselves what indiscriminate
bombing in North Vietnam may have in
common with any objectives of the
United States anywhere in Vietnam or
Southeast Asia. It is to be hoped that
we will have asked ourselves what interests
of the Vietnamese people-in whose
interests we were prompted to go into
Vietnam in the first place-will be served
by the bombing of combatant and noncombatant,
in Hanoi and Haiphong?
And it is to be hoped that we \vill
have asked ourselves about the next step

beyond the bombing of Hanoi and Haiphong
if that, too, should fail, as every
other escalation to date has failed to
bring this conflict to a conclusion.
We have the power, Mr. President, to
bomb the Vietnamese back into the Stone
Age. And 11 that 'pOwer is tmsheathed

to move back into the caves. along with
the Vietnamese, and the rest of the
It is to be hoped that before pltmging
deeper we will have asked ourselves at
what point that which began as limited

becomes wholly an American war
against all Vietnam, becomes a war in
Korea. becomes a war in the Formosan
Straits, becomes a war with China. And
while we are asking we had better ask
ourselves, finally, at what point in this
ever-widening compass of conflict--at
what point along the road to World War
ill-the Sino-Soviet breach is finally
healed? And, thereafter, at what point a
new eruption occurs at Berlin or some
other pressure 'pOint of potential universal
These are questions. Mr. President,
which ,General Westmoreland and Ambassador
Bunker are not equipped and
ought not to be required to answer from
Vietnam. They are questions which Secretary
McNamara ought not to be expected
to answer on the basis of a visit to
Saigon. Yet, they are questions of great
relevance, along with reports of "progress"
toward our "objectives." in any decisions
involving Vietnam. They are questions
for all of us.
Quite apart from the answers, may I
say, the very pertinence of the questions
suggests to me the need for the greatest
restraint in any further increases in the
American involvement in South VietnRm
or in any expansion of that conflict beyond
its present geographic dimensions.
Indeed, the very pertinence of these
questions urges a renewed effort to reduce
the present level of American Involvement.
In this connection, I would
refer once again to the recent proposal
of the Senator from Kentucky fMr.
COOPER] to limit bombing in the north
to areas of immediate relevance to the Infiltration
of supplies and men across the
17th parallel into the south. I would refer
once again to the proposal to concentrate
a military eiTort on the construction
of a defensive barrier just south of
the demilitarized zone at the 1 7Lh parallel
across Laos to the border of Thailand
which can be held by South Vietnamese
forces. And I would refer once again to
the suggestion that this Nation move to
have the U.N. Security Council regard
the situation in Vietnam at least with
the equivalent concern which it shows
for the Middle East. We owe it to the
Americans whom we have sent to Vietnam,
to ourselves. to the Vietnamese,
and to the world. to try to bring about
a face-to-face confrontation of all involved
in Vietnam .at the U.N. Security
We need to continue this initiative.
based on the U.S. resolution before the
U.N. Security Council since January 1966,
so that the world may know what kind
of peace is sought and by whom. We
need to continue this initiative in order
that no stone may be left unturned in
the effort to bring about a cease-fire and
honorable settlement of this ugly war.
We cannot and should not withdraw.
We should not and, I hope, will not enlarge
the war in Vietnam against the
north. The most important question
which confronts this Nation at this point
Is hot the Middle East. It is not domestic
policies. It is the situation in Vietnam.
That will continue to be the case and all
else will be subordinate until this conflict
can be ended in a fashion which preserves
the integrity of political choice of the
people of South Vietnam.
Mr. AIKEN. Mr. President, will the
Senator yield?
Mr. MANSFIELD. I yield.
Mr. AIKEN. Mr. President. I have listened
very carefully, but without any
great degree of optimism, to the remarks
of the majority leader of the Senate.
It is unfortunate, Mr. President, that
the advice of the majority leader has not
been accepted by the administration to
the same degree as the advice of certain
military leaders who have far more
knowledge of weapons than they have
of people.
I have no particular use for Monday
morning quarterbacks, although I recogruze
there is a great opportunity for
their talents in consideration of the situation
in Vietnam. I am getting letters
now from people who once thought that a
short foray into North Vietnam by our
planes would bring the war to an early
close. Their excuse for not winning the
war 1s that it has not been wide enough,
It has not been intense enough, and now
hey go so far as to say we should, if
nece~sary, destroy all of North Vietnam's
rcsom·ces. What they apparently mean
IS thn.t we should use the atom bomb.
I do not know whether they have
thought through well enough the effect
of such action; whether they have considered
that our position In history, 1f
we used the atom bomb in North Vietnam,
would be more glorious or not, assum,
ng that history is permitted to continue--
and it can be drstroycd. But I do
hope that they are considering the cost.
When you talk of dollars and cents, they
really understand that.
I suppose Secretary McNamara will be
back very shortly from his trip to South
Vietnam. I expect that hr w11l recommend
intenslflcatlon and probably some
increase in armed ~en·ices personnel In
that part of the world. But before expanding-
whether he recommends expansion
or not--we should consider
whether we are willing to pay the cost.
Senator MANSFIELD and I were told by
the highest military authorities what we
have in Vietnam, that it takes 10 rl'gulars
to cope with one guerrilla. I do not know
how much of the oppo~ition over there
is in organized units and how much is in
the form of guerrilla.~. I think It is safe
to say thPre are 50.000 or 100.000 who
would qualify as gueiTillas ~

There are times when like ostriches, we may want to stick our heads deep in the sand and pretend that nothing can bother us. I have been told that is how an ostrich faces danger, thinking if it cannot see the predator, then the predator will most certainly NOT see the ostrich. I do not know if that is indeed true, having never raised an ostrich, but I do feel that people sometimes react to problems in the same manner. Another way to look at this is to assume the train of thought that if I just ignore it, it will go away but, that's not gonna happen most of time!
I remember one time as a child when I was playing at the edge of our yard. I must have been about five-years-old, and I had a playhouse underneath a tree. I didn't have a fancy building. I only had empty spice cans, some pots and pans headed to the trash, a container of water to make mud pies. I was always making mud pies it seems, and a blanket tossed over the tree limbs as my house. It was a mansion, but as I surveyed my handiwork, I noticed something, which did not belong in it. There was a foot long green slithering thing soaking up sun in my doorway, and it would not go away. So, what does a five-year-old do? "Mama!" (wait-wait-wait) "Mama!" (wait-wait-wait) "Mama!"
What did Mama do? She practiced that ignore her and she will go away thingy that all mothers have to resort to if they are going to get anything done in the house at all. Did I go away? Most assuredly NOT! Instead, I raised the volume of my screams, and I was ignored for the second time. Not to be outdone, and still keeping a steady eye on that vicious predator in my doorway, I placed my hands on my hips, threw out my chest, and ratcheted up the volume so that I could be heard all over Monteagle. My mother finally realized that something was drastically wrong, so she literally came running to save her baby. I'll never forget her face when she looked over the situation to assess the threat level against her child, and with a look of utter consternation (a word I did NOT know, but somehow understood its meaning even at that tender age), she said, "Oh, Margaret! That is just a green snake. It's harmless. It will not hurt you. JUST IGNORE IT AND IT WILL GO AWAY!" No kidding – she actually said that, and it is probably the first time I ever heard that phrase in my life, but not the last time I'd ever think about it.
One of the funniest times I remember is when my children were large enough to amuse themselves playing, and I was engrossed in a Robert Ludlum novel. Now, keep in mind that the book was a good two inches thick, and it was a wonderful read. I was so adept at reading that I could keep up with the conversations of my children (so I knew if I needed to intervene and stop a war among them), but I never missed out on the action in the story either. Well, my husband would walk through (as he still does) talking a mile a minute, expecting me to pay attention to his every syllable, drop everything, and run and fetch.
However, I'm NOT a dog, and I neither have a dog's loyalty, nor am I as trainable as a dog. Of course I heard him -every syllable – but, I never let on that I knew he was in the room with me. I just kept my nose in the book turning page after page. I heard the exasperation in his voice. I just kept on reading. You know, IGNORE HIM AND HE WILL GO AWAY! Poor fella, he just could not get it, so one of the kids informed him that I didn't even hear him because I was reading! I chuckled deep inside where all of the unheard laughs are kept in reserve. I still hear his feet as he stomped off to fetch whatever it was he had wanted me to go get.
One might react to the constant drip of a faucet in the same manner – IGNORE IT AND IT WILL GO AWAY. A hinge that needs oiling might elicit the same response. Garbage that needs to be carried out of the kitchen often gets that same look. Ah, if I ignore it, maybe someone else will take it off! Realistically, ignoring something does not make it go away, because the problem will just keep growing. Take a toothache for instance – ignore that, and you will wake up at two in the morning knowing that it may never go away -RIGHT?
I know that this past year my mind reached that plateau where it just shut down, and I sub-consciously tried to NOT think about anything that was not staring me in the eye directly. Have you ever reached that point? Have you reached a place where you just thought you could not handle one more question, problem, or crisis? Have you ever thought you were in fact walking around with a numb mind? I had convinced myself that with Kenneth's cancer way behind us, and his health status as the result of his stroke being fairly good, although everyday there are constant reminders of things he can no longer do as well as he could previously; I muddled through each day only doing what I had to do, never planning for the next day as getting through the present one was a task in and of itself. I am a caregiver. That is my station in life presently, and though I by no means have a burden like someone who cares for a loved one who is incapacitated, I do constantly use my mind for two people and the sad thing is that I only have a little piece of a mind left!
Anyway, subconsciously I have thought, "O.K. all of the really, really bad stuff is behind us – CANCER, STROKE and now I can concentrate on recovering from the passing of my mother." Well, at least that's what I think I must have been thinking; because there was no way that I was considering that yet another sneaky snurk was lying in wait to attack. You see, I trusted that Kenneth could and did look after all of his day-to-day functions, most especially taking all of his medications! What is it I've been saying? IGNORE IT AND IT WILL GO AWAY? Well, Kenneth had been doing just that – he had been ignoring ALL of his medications unbeknownst to me, and I guess that I was just too preoccupied that I didn't notice that he wasn't checking his blood sugar, nor was he taking any insulin.
For three weeks the man had been complaining that his legs were cramping so badly that he could not sleep. I knew he was irritable, and I knew that he was awfully thirsty. Kenneth even talked to our son about his leg cramps, and my son told him that what he was describing to him were diabetic symptoms, and he asked his father if he was checking his sugar and taking his medicine. Kenneth assured his son that he indeed was doing just that. So, I took Kenneth to the South Pittsburg Physician Care walk-in clinic because he deemed it necessary to get a prescription for quinine, an old remedy for leg cramps. I might add here that Kenneth had sucked the bottom out of a mustard bottle because something told him the Turmeric in mustard was good for cramps, AND he was downing Tonic Water because there is quinine in it – all to no avail.
The sweet nurse practitioner on call did a basic blood test and called us the next day highly recommending a trip to the ER as his blood sugar level was 621! Don't know if you're familiar with a sugar level, but on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the worst possible number to draw at a poker game, Kenneth was holding a 27! We took ourselves off to the ER at St. Thomas in Nashville, and when he was admitted there, his level was +700. Now folks, that is GREATER THAN 700, which means his true number would not register on their machine. Do you have any idea what kind of looks an ER doctor gives you when he asks if you have been giving your husband pure KARO syrup as his food source, as if I hook him up to an IV every night and give him his daily infusion!
Do you know what kind of looks you get when you even mention mustard and Tonic Water in an ER? Let's don't even go there! Do you know how quickly you can feel like an utter failure when you realize that you have allowed your husband to almost add the diagnosis of "Diabetic Coma" on his resume of health achievements? I thought the world had dropped out from under me, and realized that I had to pull my head out of the sand and quit being an ostrich, because this is one time that the adage might just be true – IGNORE IT AND HE WILL GO AWAY!
You may wonder why I'm sharing all of this stuff with you. You may be saying to yourself, "Way too much personal information!" I definitely know my husband will be really put out with me for telling off on him, again, but I feel there is a valuable lesson in our fiasco that might just help someone else. You can ignore some things to the point of extinction – YOUR EXTINCTION! What if YOU have diabetes? What if YOU have HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE? What if YOU feel a lump in your breast? What if you know you don't feel well, but you don't want to go to a doctor to find out what is causing the problem? Folks, there are lots of things that you simply cannot ignore, because they won't go away. I do believe that each of us must be cognizant of what our body is trying to tell us. There is a reason for mammograms. There is a reason for colonoscopies done by someone who is trained to take care of major issues should they arise. There is a reason you were given a lower dose of high blood pressure medicine – so that you won't have to take a higher dose later when you have that heart attack! DUH! When you decide to ignore something and it will go away, you'd better think three times about what you are doing.
There are now three reasons why I have to pay closer attention to my husband and his medication. One reason is that he had a stroke and he does get flustered and forget stuff. The second reason is that ornery as he may be, I do love him, and if I don't keep check on him, who will? The third reason is that my children will get me if I don't do it! It is time to quit being an ostrich and pay attention, because obviously I did trust in his ability to look after himself too much. He's a man for goodness sakes, what can I say? They need looking after; even the Bible says so. In Genesis 2:18, the scripture says, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him." I have never met a man yet that did not need a woman's help to get anything done, have you? Now, some men right about now might remind me that Genesis 3:16 states, "Your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you." Yes, I know. And my reply would be found in 1 Corinthians 14:33 which states, "God is not a God of confusion but of peace!"
I think there are a lot of people out there who are ignoring God and His will today. Maybe they think that if they ignore God He will go away, but I'm going to tell you that's not going to happen! Our choir sings a song called "Somebody Prayed for Me" and it never fails to move me spiritually and emotionally. I am so thankful that I was not able to ignore the prayers, which brought me to Jesus Christ. Have you thought about who is praying for you? Do you ever get that little nagging feeling that you really ought to do something about your life? Do you ever feel that there's something out there better than what you have? Are you looking for peace in your soul? Are you happy with yourself and the way you are today? Please don't ignore those feelings thinking that it's just indigestion and that it'll go away. Ask yourself if the Lord is dealing with you, bringing you to Him and His love. God is powerful…He will not ignore you, and THANK THE LORD, HE WILL NOT GO AWAY!

Privacy is so 20th Century
Modern life is life on the grid: credit cards, smart phones, internet connections, social media presence and so on. And here is the truth: Life on the grid is life in a fishbowl erected on stilts in a bazaar. As a result, something that we once thought was important to us as citizens is not simply lost, it is irretrievably lost: it is the idea of privacy.
The concept of privacy itself is notoriously difficult to define. In reading around the subject, I found this description of it by Larry Peterman in a 1993 essay in The Review of Politics titled 'Privacy's Background':
We look upon the private as that part of our lives insulated against the communal or public broadly constructed, protected from unwarranted intrusion by others, including political authorities, and the place where, in the last resort, we can clothe ourselves in anonymity.
I think that is exactly right. It is what Grant Mindle, in an earlier essay, calls 'concealment and seclusion' that protected place where we can have parts of our lives that will not leak into the public arena.

For Instructors
Love Songs
02/14/2011 7:19 am
This morning?s class was all about Love Songs ? after all, it?s February 14th and you know what that means. The class was scheduled to be in the Endurance Energy Zone ? a zone that sometimes elicits some ?ughs.? Not this morning! After going through all the usual introductions, cautions, etc., I announced that sometimes we ride just for the pleasure of riding. Today our training would be in the EEZ and the task of each participant was to play with the two variables: resistance and cadence; but, maintain a relatively constant intensity of 65-75% mhr - staying aerobic. After reminding them that in Spinning® training we adapt to the spirit of the music rather than bang it out beat by beat, I gave them the freedom to find the ?heart? of each song for themselves. That?s not to say that I just turned on my iPod and let them have at it. We worked the resistance knob, we worked a cadence ladder and several cadence drills, we worked on pedal stroke technique and focused on good form ? you know, all the good stuff. But our familiar training was woven into the fabric of a Valentine?s Day ride based on an eclectic collection of love songs. And, it was fun! Each time one song ended I could see them perk up their ears to see what would pop up next. Then I?d see smiles, a little head bobbing for a few seconds or a look of confusion (usually depending on the age of the participant who might not recognize some of the songs from my generation?.) Let me tell you, I had such a good time creating this play list! I avoided the obvious and the soulful, sappy songs that I love. I stepped back from anything Top 40s or from my deep reservoir of Spinning®-specific music. Instead I enlisted the surprise factor. I called on Rod Steward, Eric Clapton, Bonnie Raitt, Bill Withers, Mary Chapin Carpenter and, of course, Sarah McLaughlin. I hit some movie soundtracks: Mamma Mia, Tin Cup, Notting Hill, Four Weddings and a Funeral, and, my personal favorite, Once. I dug into Phil Collins newly released cd ?Going Back? for a few quick oldies. Did I mention eclectic? Borderline tacky ? but fun. I did not hear one ?ugh? nor did anyone complain that we were doing yet another EEZ training ride. We sweated, we ?endured?, we worked, and we sang. And now we?re ready to enjoy the rest of Valentine?s Day. I couldn?t resist indulging in a few sentimental thoughts and suggested that, while it is easy to celebrate the day with those we love, we should also remember our casual friends ? you know, those Spinning® buddies who get up early and join us for class before daylight? HAPPY VALENTINE?S DAY TO ALL OF YOU ? today and beyond. Blog posted by Linda Freeman for www.spinning.com 2-14-2011.Share

Statham seems to have about 500 movies on his to-do list, AND THEY ALL SOUND AWESOME!Inspired by true events, Killer Elite is an action adventure spy film following Danny (Statham), one of the world's most skilled special-ops agents.

Facing off against a covert group of ex-SAS soldiers known as "The Feather Men," who, under their leader Spike (Clive Owen), provide a deadly cloak of security around all SAS members, Danny and his team must take down a rogue cell of solider assassins before their actions result in a global political meltdown.

I read this too fast and didn't see that it was in the garage. Most garages have some slope to them, and a leaking water heater isn't that much of an issue.*The heater is in the Garage at the same level as main house floor.
If the water heater was inside the home, then what I said below may make some sense.
Many condo associations require replacement at ten years for just that reason. Trying to squeeze a year or two out of a dying heater doesn't make much economic sense. Not when it can cause damage to the units below, and to the carpets in your home.
There will be no signs to look for when it will fail. Your heater is covered with insulation that is wrapped in a metal covering. The failure will come from the tank inside of that shell.

The problem
The companies that profit from GM crops, and even some governments, claim that our health and the environment are not at risk. Many people, however, including independent scientists, believe that not to be true.
Agribusiness is working to cash in on new technology combining the "best" parts of many natural life forms. An example is using fish' ability to tolerate cold, in strawberries which must be transported to markets far away. Or: using the ability to resist herbicides in crops that need to be heavily sprayed to eradicate weeds.
The risks posed by GMOs include many aspects: human health, threats to food sovereignty and biodiversity, the violation of farmers rights to breed, reproduce and exchange seeds, and the right of people to eat safe and healthy food. The use of 'foreign' genes in plants that we eat may undermine our ability to fight diseases. Health officials are also concerned about direct effects from consuming GM plants, such as increased food allergies.
Once new genes are introduced, they cannot be withdrawn. Research shows that GM plants might contaminate local or native seed varieties, threatening food sovereignty and the livelihoods of the majority of people in the global South. GM crops are also able to cross-pollinate with related wild plants; potentially passing on their herbicide resistant genes. Experts fear that this may create a new breed of "super-weed" which would require the use of even heavier chemicals and further imperil wildlife. Similar threats are posed by new insect resistant strains, whose introduction may cause the destruction of helper and benign species of insects such as ladybugs and Monarch butterflies. Read more about the risks posed by GMOs.
Given all the uncertainty about GMOs, how will producers and consumers maintain their right to decide what they grow and eat? Once GM crops are grown on a large scale it will be nearly impossible for farmers to guarantee their crops are GM-free. Organic producers are particularly at risk as their fields may get contaminated by neighbouring farmers. Consumers are similarly constricted. Current legislation where it exists, is full of loopholes. Read more about contamination.
The main beneficiaries of GM are the large agribusiness companies which promote it. GM food has not been found to be more nutritious or better tasting, and it will not help to fight global hunger. Read more about GMO food aid. Technologies such as the "terminator seed" are engineered to respond to particular fertilizers patented by companies. They do not produce fertile seeds, ending the ancient practice of saving seeds for replanting. This threatens the autonomy of small farmers by forcing them to spend more money on seeds while pushing them into debt. Read more about corporate control.
The solution
FoEI maintains that the question of hunger is not a question of productive capacity. In Europe, producers receive subsidies to not produce at their full capacity and they still have silos full of leftover products to rot. At the same time, the livelihoods of family farmers and peasants in the South are continuously threatened by subsidized food dumping on national and local markets. Hunger rather needs the right economics and political will, something GMOs cannot generate.
These are the demands of Friends of the Earth International with regards to GMOs:
- Banning all GM commercial crops
- Segregation and labelling of imported GM foods; with clear tracking from the field to the supermarket shelf
- An international ban on the use of antibiotic resistant gene markers
- A global ban on "Terminator" seed technology
- Reversion of patent laws
- A ban on biopiracy
What we do
Around the world, Friends of the Earth campaigns to keep GMOs out of our food and our environment, and to defend food sovereignty. In Europe, our groups call for the establishment of GMO Free Zones. In Africa, we call for a moratorium on GMO crops while in North America, we campaign for adequate labelling of our food. In Central America, Friends of the Earth monitors GM contamination in food aid and in commercial imports. In South America, our groups oppose GMO crops by promoting ecological peasant production and family farming. In some countries in the region, we are investigating the contamination by GM crops. Finally, in Asia FoE groups carry out a strong campaign against genetically modified papaya.

At CES in Las Vegas, Dish refreshes the Hopper with the ability to record eight shows simultaneously, new Joey set-top boxes that help extend TV functionality anywhere, voice-enabled recommendation, and a Google Glass app.
The Sony BDP-S5100 Blu-ray player offers a wealth of services and very good image quality for the money.
The DVR set-top box revealed at the Consumer Electronics Show in January is now available to Dish customers, ahead of the anticipated arrival of Wireless Joey.
Which resolution you should set your cable or satellite box to depends on a few factors.
Netflix could be on your Virgin Media TiVo box right now as the app is switched on throughout the week.
Nothing says "congratulations on your newly completed education!" like a gateway to mind-numbing reality TV, so here's a few TVs to gift the new grad.
TalkTalk handed out 160,000 YouView boxes between April and June, a big boost for the online set-top box.
Roku is bringing its set-top boxes to these shores early next year. But can it take on Virgin Media's refreshed TiVo offering?
On the heels of the Web giant's debut of Chromecast, rumors are floating that Google gave private demos of another Web-to-TV media player during CES that had even more features.
E-tail giant's much-rumored device has been delayed, sources tell The Verge, possibly until after the holiday-shopping season.
