"Ahead of a Posse"
McCain had guts.
McCain stood up, rebelled and stood for principle. He stood up to his father by fucking off at the academy and graduating at the bottom of his class. When he was shot down and had multiple broken bones and sustained prolonged rope torture by his guards he turned down an early release from the Hanoi Hilton. When he had remarried and Cindy McCain was overcome with compassion and brought home a dying Bangladeshi girl McCain agreed to adopt her before even seeing her. And while he stood up to the Republican Party in his early years he ruined much of his reputation by caving to the neanderthals of the Republican Party.
Romney has never stood up. He has never rebelled against his family, his church, his country, or his party. He is the guy who would actually state that his main defect is that he loves his country "too much". He is the ultimate butt kissing sycophant coward. Even his business strategy "leveraging" involves applying massive capital pressure to apply to a faltering business at a time of weakness to get undervalued assets and either put it up on the chopping block or get huge equity with little risk. He never put his name on the door and put himself on the line. He never put himself on the line in front of customers, he just massed strength on a faltering business. He formed a posse to clean up capital's wounded entrepreneurs.
This, more than anything, causes me to despise Romney in a way that I never did with McCain.
And now we have the well documented story of Romney attacking Lauber, with more stories on the way and the Romney campaign floundering trying to get schoolmates to stand up for him, and none are.
There was something in the WAPO story that bothered me beyond the obvious.
Then I went back and looked at it again.
There it was.
Romney marching out of his own room ahead of a prep school posse . .
He sat in the room and got every body excited about their hatred for the guy that was different. Got the blood lust up and then when everyone was primed he led a group of guys to attack a single frightened boy.
If this was "To Catch a Mockingbird" not only would he not be Atticus Finch, he would be the guy Atticus would stare down first, knowing that he didn't have the guts to do something and his cowardice would inform the crowd.
He didn't have the courage to hunt Lauber down and take him one one by one but he led the posse.
There is nothing as dangerous as putting a personal coward at the head of a great military, they can't wait to engage some war to prove how tough they are.
There is only one thing to do with guys like Romney.
Make sure that they never get a Posse to lead.
A few days later, Friedemann entered Stevens Hall off the schools collegiate quad to find Romney marching out of his own room ahead of a prep school posse shouting about their plan to cut Laubers hair. Friedemann followed them to a nearby room where they came upon Lauber, tackled him and pinned him to the ground. As Lauber, his eyes filling with tears, screamed for help, Romney repeatedly clipped his hair with a pair of scissors.
The incident was recalled similarly by five students, who gave their accounts independently of one another. Four of them Friedemann, now a dentist; Phillip Maxwell, a lawyer; Thomas Buford, a retired prosecutor; and David Seed, a retired principal spoke on the record. Another former student who witnessed the incident asked not to be named. The men have differing political affiliations, although they mostly lean Democratic. Buford volunteered for Barack Obamas campaign in 2008. Seed, a registered independent, has served as a Republican county chairman in Michigan. All of them said that politics in no way colored their recollections.

Split Pea Soup
Be the first to review
READY IN: 3hrs 30mins
Recipe by AmyZoe
I love how easy it is to make split pea soup, and I never tire of it. I didn't have a ham bone, so I used ham I aleady had in my fridge in it's place. I always add a couple potatoes to every split pea soup recipe with the rest of the peas because it makes for great texture and flavor. Recipe courtesy of The Pillsbury Cookbook.

Martin Freeman in Richard III – Trafalgar Studios, London
What a great summer of theatre this is for Hobbit fans in the London area! Not only is Richard Armitage appearing in The Crucible at The Old Vic; Middle-earth lovers can also see Bilbo himself, Martin Freeman, starring as Richard III at Trafalgar Studios. This promises to be a thrilling, visceral production; director Jamie Lloyd last year staged Macbeth (with James McAvoy), in a production which a reviewer described as 'a gripping and genuinely startling production'. For this staging of Richard III, audience members have apparently been warned that the front rows might get splashed with blood! The official press release describes the play thus:
"In the aftermath of civil war, Richard, Duke of Gloucester, makes a hateful resolution to claw his way to political power at any cost. A master of manipulation, subtle wit and beguiling charm, he orchestrates his unlawful ascent by spinning a ruthless web of deceit and betrayal. His staunch ambition soon begins to weigh heavy, as the new ruler finds himself utterly alone and steeped in dread, forced to answer for his bloody deeds and face the horrifying consequences."Posted in Events, Hobbit Cast News, Hobbit Movie, Martin Freeman, Stage Productions, The Hobbit

Justin Long was in town recently for the premiere of his surprisingly man-friendly (and, y'know, good) new rom-com, Going The Distance, and as self-confessed Ed fans (well, one of us is, anyway), we jumped at the chance meet the man. Armed with a long list of potential rom-coms that men might be allowed to love, Justin took us through the 8 best of the best – and they're not the ones you're expecting…
Annie Hall is definitely my number one. It sets the standard for all other relationship movies. I still try to watch it every couple of months – it's like hanging out with an old friend.
I especially love the lobster scenes because, well, it's the worst. You know it right away. A joke that maybe you had made with your last girlfriend, some shared experience that you enjoyed together, and you try to somehow recreate it with somebody new and… it just falls on such deaf ears. And that moment when Woody's new girl is smoking in the kitchen and he says, "I haven't been myself since I quit smoking." "Oh, when was that?" and he says: "16 years ago." "Um, I don't get it; are you joking?" Oh, God, that moment, it's cringeworthy but it's also so relatable, and it's kind of great because it's a signifier of how rare it is to find somebody like that.
So that's why I like Annie Hall. It's well-observed and it has jokes in too. It's universally relatable, intrinsically relatable. Even that Marshall McLuhan moment, I've had that. They start going on about something you don't know anything about and there's that temptation to say: "You know what, I happen to have Marshall McLuhan right here." Completely refutes the guy. "If only life were this easy."
In fact, that's one of the very few times I like it when people break the fourth wall and look at the camera. They employ a lot of devices like that that I don't normally go in for – the great subtitle scene, with all the subtext of what they are talking on screen. And then the movie ends with that same, first person narration. It's not to camera, sure, but, you know… "we all need the eggs."
In fact, Annie Hall is the form of romantic comedy and everything else is trying to reach that form. Simple as that, really.
Up? Sure it's a romantic comedy – it's one of the most heartbreaking, funny movies I've ever seen. I was crying in the first five minutes, and then laughing ten minutes later. I think it speaks to a certain sense of nostalgia everyone has and somehow it just managed to affect me so profoundly.
I think it's because your first introduction to movies, or to TV, is through cartoons, and I think there was something unique to animation that allows it to affect you that strongly. The other thing is that unlike many rom coms, which end with everything going well, or, say in Annie Hall's case, not, this has the whole spectrum of this very romantic experience that is inherently bittersweet – because the backdrop throughout is our own mortality. God, I sound so pretentious, but hell, that was definitely my favourite movie from that year. That, and District 9. Which isn't a romantic comedy, but still, there you go.
Oh God, then there's Shakespeare In Love. I feel immediately more romantic just thinking about it. After watching that it makes me want to swoop out and seduce someone with a sonnet.
And the score – I think it's Stephen Warbeck – that soundtrack is so sweeping and so romantic, and you can feel it stir you up inside. You could be listening to that score and doing the most mundane of tasks, washing the dog or doing your filing, and it would work. You could put that score to any shitty romantic comedy and it would make it that much better. You could make a back-to-back comedy work with that kind of music. And I don't say that lightly.
Ah, The Princess Bride. When she falls in love with Wesley, without really exchanging any words… well, I remember that was something I saw when I was pretty young, and suddenly that was my romantic ideal. That was what my idea of what true romance was: Something chemical, instant. They never speak – it seems the most they ever talk is when she thinks he's the Dread Pirate Roberts.
I'm proud to admit, as a man, that I love Princess Bride. I think you can. I think you're allowed to invest in the romance, because there are so many great comedic elements to it too: André the Giant, Mandy Patinkin, even Cary Elwes delivers an unsung comedic performance. And I also think that it was the first time anyone had seen Robin Wright, really… she is just so angelic, there's something so pure about her, it really does feel like she's a different species. It feels like she's been genetically created to be wooed, and to fall in love with. I just worked with her actually and it took everything within my power to not bring up The Princess Bride.
People overlook Forrest Gump now – I think it's because it's such a successful movie, people forget how good a romantic comedy it is. But Robin Wright is good in that too. And it's based around such a simple idea.
A story where despite everything, there's true love, a love that trumps the greatest psychological damage or dysfunction. And Forrest is so innocent, and so disconnected from who the girl really is, but at the end of the day what beats all of that is this simple idea of love. And you can't articulate it, you can't stop him from showing it, you can't stop him from going back to her. It almost like the way animals love, which is why people love dogs, and I know it seems awful to compare a human character to a dog, but still, that idea of unconditional love, with him constantly batted away and mistreated, still going back to her, and eventually ending up being her salvation.
There's also that vicarious pleasure to be had in seeing a man do it all, and so modestly too. Everything he ends up doing in the movie, it's all unsung, with him not letting it affect his ego at all. It's the absolutely the most noble way to pursue something. And it's got war in it, and men love war.
Eternal Sunshine, again, I love that movie. That tragic element of love. To love that intensely, and that deeply – that usually carries with it the potential for the opposite, and that can be just as hurtful and painful as it was great in the first place.
In a weird way, that's romantic on its own. That pain and loss, you know. Then there's the problem we all have after big relationships – how are we going to shed that person, how are we going to live, day to day? How are you going to be the same? How are you going to be the person you were before them? They've affected you that much. For better, and for worse.
And I don't think I'd ever seen Jim Carrey give that kind of performance before, and it was so good, bringing to life that pain that is unique to a loss that severe. The movie's beyond painful, it's beyond tragic, and because it deals with memory, memory loss, and holding onto memories, it's so creative and so visceral.
For some people, the movie made them not want to fall in love again, but for me, it was the complete opposite, it made me want to invest more in love, and kind of hold onto those moments. And then there's a whole sci-fi element, and then there's the philosophical level – how much are we doing this to ourselves, you know? And then your brain explodes, so, maybe not.
The Wedding Singer I think is one of those examples of one of those back-to-back, more broadly conceited comedies where there is some heightened device thrown in, but still it works really well somehow.
It's a movie that I still really love watching, and though it may be fluff, it's very entertaining fluff. I love those times when they are definitely winking at the camera, and that shameless '80s nostalgia – but it all works because they're all doing it in the spirit of fun and self-awareness.
And at the end, and this is a testament to Adam and Drew's performances, you cannot watch that final scene when he's singing to her on the plane and not watch her smile and not smile along with her. And that's thanks entirely to the two of them. Completely sweet. And because we're used to Adam Sandler in Happy Gilmore and other brasher comedies, this turn is even more affecting. If that was his first movie, I don't think we would have gone with him. In fact, I first watched The Wedding Singer when I was about 18 and I was not in a place where I'd normally invest in romantic comedies, but Adam turned me round.
I think Tootsie, too, that should be on my list. The love that they have, the fact that it comes down to that final scene with Jessica Lange on the street, that the evolution of their journey, that the climax of it, is them just meeting as friends, I just think there's something that's really profound to be gleaned in that scene.
It's that idea that that level of intimacy can only be achieved through the most round-about way, and is the perfect foundation for, and the necessary foundation for, a real love to flourish. And more so than most romantic comedies, I feel like they have more a chance than most couples at the end, because of what they've been through. That and men dressing up as women? Well, that's always funny.

Andros Townsend has passed his medical and signed on for Newcastle United and he becomes the third signing this month for Newcastle and we hope there are still more to come including a striker.
Andros Townsend – Newcastle finally got their man
Here's what has just gone out on the Newcastle website about our new signing.
Newcastle United have completed the signing of England international winger Andros Townsend from Tottenham Hotspur.
The 24-year-old arrives at St. James' Park for an undisclosed fee and has signed a five-and-a-half-year deal with the Magpies. He will wear the number 25 shirt.
Townsend made 93 senior appearances in all competitions for Spurs after joining the club's Academy aged eight.
He has also represented England at youth and senior level, earning ten full international caps and scoring on three occasions under current boss Roy Hodgson.
"I'm delighted to be here." "Newcastle United is a fantastic club with great fans, a great stadium and great tradition.
"As soon as I heard Newcastle were interested in me, there was only one place I wanted to go – so I can't wait to get started."
Newcastle United head coach Steve McClaren said:
"Bringing Andros to the Club is a great signing. "He is a very good talent who is a current England international and should be one for years to come, too.
"Andros is a winger with an old-fashioned style. He can play on the right or the left, is two-footed, quick, very direct and loves taking on defenders and crossing the ball.
"He feels he has a lot to prove and I can't wait to see him do that in a Newcastle shirt."
This is potentially a great signing for us as the England International can both score and create goals and gives us some speed and some old fashioned wing play out wide on either side.
We warmly welcome Andros Townsend to Newcastle United Football Club.
Comments welcome.

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
Nan Wigington named Miss Prothero's for the character in Dylan Thomas's "A Child's Christmas in Wales" who descends the stairs to ask, "Would you like anything to read?" There's more than enough here: Wigington keeps her orderly, pleasant shop stocked with hardback editions of literary titles, as well as a number of other interesting choices. She's also experimenting with a weekly yoga class and unusual book clubs, including a "whodunit" gathering where participants meet to try to guess the outcome of a partly read mystery. With its great ambience and comfy sitting area, Miss Prothero's is well worth spending time exploring.
Going to the library has never felt so naughty. Walk into the Ross-Cherry Creek Branch Library and you'll be greeted at the door by DVDs -- rows and rows of them. The bookshelves here are a mere backdrop; the establishment has long since embraced that which draws in its patrons. And the movie selection -- oh, the selection. New releases like Borat. Season after full season of Six Feet Under. B-movies with no hint of literary value, such as American Pie: Band Camp. Grab two, grab four -- hell, grab seven, the maximum you're allowed (the librarians get that all the time). And when you check out, the only plastic you'll need to flash is your library card. This being a library, everything is gloriously, scandalously free. Melvil Dewey may be turning in his grave, but we movie buffs wouldn't have it any other way.
First Friday is one of Denver's most reliable monthly happenings. Thanks to Matthew Morris Salon, a chic beauty spot on South Broadway, culture-consuming Denverites can look their best while scoping the city's hot spots for high and low art. During Friday Night Blow Outs, held the first Friday of every month, Matthew Morris offers free polish changes and blow dries in a chatty setting filled with beautiful people. Cocktails are always on the menu, as are a wide array of services and sensual spa treatments -- for a price. And though their work is not the stuff of ARTForum, Morris's talented staff can certainly count themselves among the city's creative class. Just ask anyone who's ever popped in for an updo.
Situated across Tremont Street from the legendary (and extremely expensive) Brown Palace Hotel, the Comfort Inn Downtown affords many of the same luxuries at a fraction of the price. Towering over the Brown at 24 floors, the Inn is less polished than its five-star counterpart, but the art-deco-style standard corner rooms feature comfy beds, floor-to-ceiling windows and spectacular panoramic views of the city. Suites are also available. Because the Comfort Inn is affiliated with the Brown, guests have access to the latter's 24-hour room service and spa, as well as other amenities. The difference is that after soaking up the ambience of the Brown's beautiful atrium lobby or Ship Tavern, Comfort guests can sneak back across the street to their humble digs, with an extra $200 of unspent cash in their wallets.
Those who enter the Dollar Tree to slum for 99-cent chatchkes and crappy closeout merchandise might be surprised when they emerge from one of the chain's metro-area outlets with a cart full of things they actually need. Dish towels, extension cords, Tupperware, lightbulbs, work gloves, fabric softener, plastic dinnerware, beef jerky...baby food. All the same stuff you'd buy at the supermarket, but for a buck. Sure, the generic children's conditioner smells kinda weird -- but it's only a dollar! Same with the fancy wrapping paper, picture frames and jugs of jalapeos. Dollar Tree stores are, for the most part, spacious, well-organized and absent of the peculiar scent of many under-a-buck retailers, which means you'll have plenty of peace while examining the wide assortment of ceramic puppy-dog figurines.
JCRS is best known as the home of Denver's venerable tourist trap, Casa Bonita, but that's only the beginning of the low-rent excitement. Where else in town can you find a Save-A-Lot grocery store, Dollar Tree and Family Dollar discount stores and an ARC Thrift Store -- not to mention a post office and a place hawking discount video games? Imagine all the essentials of life in one place: food, clothing, cotton swabs, stamps, waterfall divers, Donkey Kong. It's the kind of one-stop paradise Colfax was meant to be.

Andy Warhol's Lost Digital Artworks
Posted by Alex Bohea on May 16, 2014
A piece of history has been uncovered with the discovering of the thought to be lost forever collection of digital artwork created by Andy Warhol. They were recently uncovered by Carnegie Mellon University's Computer Club at the archives of The Andy Warhol Museum. The club has documented the recovery of the works with a short film entitled "Trapped: Andy Warhol's Amiga Experiments" which is the latest installment from the Hillman Photography Initiative. "Trapped" shows the team of computer scientists, archivists, artists and curators working tirelessly to extract the individual files from the archaic 3.5" floppy disk. Check out the short documentary below to see their efforts and Warhol's work in more depth.

Last Tuesday, on International Children's Day, we asked the 11 construction workers who have been working on the land, to invite their families for an afternoon of activities hosted by the team here at Project Somos. We had no idea what to expect as this was our first opportunity to host a party. To our surprise 35 children showed up including some children from the village whose fathers weren't even involved in the project. The energy was incredible.
We started off the afternoon with a tour of the first house, explaining what Project Somos is about, and what the charity is hoping to do in Guatemala. The children were completely engaged in activities, and enjoyed making clay hearts with the same soil that is used to build the houses, planting cilantro into sectioned bamboo sticks, and filling plastic bottles with plastic to make eco-bricks. At the end of the day, we had each family pose for a photo in front of the house, which we will then present to them this weekend on Father's Day.
For me the highlight of the day was when a few mothers approached me and said, "muchos gracias," followed by a huge smile, hug, and then a kiss on the cheek. I found out later that for many, this was the first time that they have ever been invited to a community event such as this. Building relationships and getting to know the community is such an important aspect for Project Somos, and I am proud to be part of it.
I am definitely looking forward to more community events and parties before I leave Guatemala. There is nothing sweeter than a group of laughing and smiling children, and I want to capture these moments before my time here ends.

In the beginning of the movie, her father Khalar Zym attack Conan's village and is reuniting the pieces of the Mask of Acheron in order to revive his dead wife and conquer Hyborea. After locating Corin's piece and murdering the entire village, Zym leaves. Conan is the only survivor, and swears revenge.
After that, Zym and Marique attack a monastery where they believe the pure blood is. Sensing something is wrong, Fassir, an elderly monk who teaches the monastery's students, tells one of them, Tamara, to run away and return to her birthplace. Tamara's carriage is chased by Zym's men. Conan hears the commotion and, recognizing Zym's men, attacks and kills them, saving Tamara. Conan also captures one of Zym's men, Remo, and catapults him to Zym's nearby camp after forcing him to reveal Tamara's importance as the pure blood.
Zym and Marique confront Conan, who is pretending to be interested in exchanging Tamara for gold, and he attacks Zym, but Marique saves her father by invoking soldiers made of sand and then poisoning Conan with a poison-laced boomerang sword. Tamara rescues him and they return to Artus' boat, stationed nearby, where Artus helps Conan recover. The boat is attacked by Zym's men, and, although they kill several of Conan's men, they are defeated. Conan orders Artus to return to Messantia with Tamara and departs to confront Zym in his kingdom. Artus tells Tamara that Conan left a map behind and she follows him, meeting with him in a cave, where they make love. The next day, as she's returning to the boat to join Artus so they can sail away, she's captured by Zym's men.
Conan finds out about Tamara's capture and departs to Argalon, where he asks Ela-Shan to help him break into Zym's castle unnoticed, while Zym prepares to drain Tamara of her blood to unleash the mask's energies. After confronting several monsters that guard the dungeons, Conan infiltrates Zym's followers and watches as Zym puts on the mask, having removed some of Tamara's blood. He confronts Zym, and the cave where they're in begins to crumble in the ensuing battle, killing Zym's followers. Conan is able to release Tamara, and she escapes as he fights Zym. The castle starts to fall, as Marique attacks Tamara. Conan hears Tamara's scream and attacks Marique, cutting her hand off and Tamara kicks her into a pit, where she gets impaled by a large spike below.

New Jersey: Michael Owen scored with five minutes remaining to give Liverpool a 2-1 victory over AS Roma on Tuesday night in the final match for both teams on their US exhibition tour. Marco Delvecchio gave Roma the lead in the 21st minute, converting an easy chance after getting a cross from Cristian Panucci that deflected off the back of Liverpool defender and into the Italian forward's pass six metres in front of the goal. Liverpool tied the contest when Stephen Gerrard stole the ball from Oliver Dacourt at the top of Roma's defensive third and sent the ball forward to defender John Arne Riise on a play that Riise and Cisse both appeared to be offside. Roma defense collapses With the rest of the Roma defense stopping, goalkeeper Carlo Zotti came out to challenge Riise, who squared the ball to Cisse to score into an open net. Owen, who entered the game to start the second half, scored from about 15 metres after Dieter Hamann forced Roma to turn over the ball near the top of the penalty area. The ball squirted free to the right side, where Owen ran onto it and struck it past Zotti. Liverpool next faces Austrian club AK Graz on August 10 in the third qualifying round of the European Champions League before beginning the English Premier League season on August 14.

Antrim horse sanctuary on verge of collapse needs donations urgently
What's the difference between an injured pony and an injured dog? About five grand.
For the founder of Crosskennan Lane Animal Sanctuary in Antrim, Lyn Friel, says that huge sum highlights why the sanctuary has long passed breaking point and has only weeks before it closes.
And she says that it's because many people won't donate money to save rescued horses, as smaller animals garner so much more public sympathy.
"If we solely rescued and re-homed small animals such as cats and dogs at Crosskennan Lane, we would be in a much better situation than we are now," she said.
"Unfortunately, the public just don't donate anywhere near as much money to horses as they do to small animals."
The Co. Antrim animal sanctuary is facing financial meltdown, with spiralling debts they rely on the goodwill of suppliers to ensure the animals in their care are fed.
Now Lyn faces the unpalatable prospect of having to put more than 160 horses and ponies to sleep.
"We recently tried to raise funds for an ill pony we found by the side of the road after someone had poured flammable liquid over him and set him on fire. We raised £180, which was hugely appreciated.
"But soon after, we tried to raise some money for Lola, a little Shih Tzu that was unwell. We raised £5,000.
"It just shows how the public are more reluctant to donate money to equine charities."
As Crosskennan Lane, home to almost 200 rescued horses, depends on public donations to get by, the ever expanding sanctuary regularly holds fundraising events.
There are special facilities purpose-built for school outings, where kids can interact with the animals and even ride on the horses.
Birthday parties are another popular source of income.
But the never ending torrent of horses found abandoned by the road or left to starve and rot in their own filth by uncaring owners never stops.
While Lyn and her team focus virtually all their efforts on rescuing horses and trying to find them a suitable home as soon as possible, many of the animals need nursed back to health due to injury or malnutrition.
Many of the mares that are rescued are in foal, meaning there's many more heads to feed.
Lyn said that more help from the public would give her and her volunteers crucially-needed time to train many of the horses to be 'handled', so they are comfortable with human contact and are ready to go to new homes.
"We just don't have time to handle the horses at the moment," she said.
"It wouldn't even take that much time, but would make a world of difference, and it would mean that we could get the horses re-homed much more quickly, freeing up space for others."
Early in 2013, Lyn and her team hit the headlines when they risked their own lives to tackle Cave Hill in hazardous conditions in a mission to rescue 20 horses which had been abandoned atop the mountain.
They managed to get all of the horses and ponies off the mountain before they and the animals froze to death, but virtually all of the animals rescued from the mountain are still thriving in the care of CLAS two years on.
"We're asking the public to look kindly on horses, as they do on cats and dogs.
"We also re-home cats and dogs at Crosskennan, but they are significantly easier to re-home than horses.
"We'd like to appeal to people who can not only take on a horse or pony for good, but also to people who may be able to take horses to look after temporarily."
When asked what she will do if she can't get the necessary funds in the next few weeks, she said the animals, many of them in foal will have to be euthanised.
"It's just too horrible for us to comprehend."
It has got to the stage where they simply can't rely on the generosity of others any longer.
"So far, our suppliers have been very generous. We're late on many of our payments and we're in debt.
"If our suppliers hadn't been so lenient and understanding with our situation we would have closed weeks ago."
The volunteers at Crosskennan are always on call, so they're ready when ponies and horses are tossed to the side of the road, left to starve to death.
Unfortunately, there are some animals that Lyn cannot save.
Perhaps she won't get to them in time, or perhaps, like so many, she will never be made aware of their plight.
They are the unlucky animals who lie frost-bitten and void of the strength to pry themselves from their own waste, isolated in inexpressible agony as their last trace of wretched life remorsefully slips away.
But this week the horses and the other animals at Crosskennan Lane are safe.
They have food, shelter and loving compassionate volunteers around them to take care of them and nurse the sick animals back to good health.
Next week however, all of that may be taken away in a flash.

You can also donate £3 per month by texting the word CLAS to 70660.

A bus driver refused to move his vehicle because it had a gay rights poster on its side.
He left travellers stranded for 20 minutes as he argued furiously with colleagues and passengers.
The unnamed man claimed the ad reading "Some people are gay. Get over it!", offended his Christian beliefs.
Passenger Rebecca Neill, 25, said the bus stopped to change drivers but the replacement refused to get on.
She said: "The drivers left us while they had an argument outside.
"Quite a few passengers and other drivers joined in. It was disgusting.
"I would never say, 'I'm not getting on your bus because you believe in God'."
The stand-off on the X78 route in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, ended only when the next bus arrived and its driver swapped with the protester.
A spokesman for operator First apologised but would not say what action – if any – had been taken.

La paix est-elle encore une valeur canadienne?
Artistes pour la Paix et Pugwash Canada (document de Pierre Jasmin) 2017-03-23
Peace, still a Canadian value?
Canada has gained respect throughout the world for choosing to work for the common good and real democracy, rather than follow the paths of militarism, colonialism and corporate domination. For example:
- The 1957 Nobel Peace Prize awarded to Lester B. Pearson's vision of the UN blue helmets;
- 1957, also: The first meeting of the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs hosted in Nova Scotia by Canadian millionnaire Cyrus Eaton; Pugwash and Rotblat will receive the 1995 Nobel Peace Prize for their efforts against global nuclear arms' threat;
- 1961: Foundation by the Alcocks of the Canadian Peace Research Institute – CPRI;
- 1963: John Diefenbaker's opposition to Canada's acquisition of nuclear weapons;
US first strike advantage heightens risk of nuclear war
Toronto Star article by John Polanyi, 20 March 2017
At the dawn of the nuclear age, its principal architect, Robert Oppenheimer, spoke of a stable standoff between nuclear powers. They would be held back from attacking one another by mutual fear, instead circling endlessly "like a pair of scorpions trapped in a bottle."
Subsequently, political scientist Albert Wohlstetter pointed out that this stability would be lost if a situation arose in which advantage accrued to the first to attack. Then deterrence would at best be "a delicate balance of terror."
Unknown to most, the balance is today at its most delicate. President Trump has inherited from previous administrations a balance of power tilted so far in favour of the U.S. that it might be advised at some awful moment of crisis to resort to a "first strike."
Maintaining peace between the superpowers under these conditions will demand the highest level of skill and restraint from the two leaders. The auguries for this are not promising, since the delicacy of the balance has been hidden from public view.
Nuclear, incoming?
Letter to editor of the Globe and Mail from Frank Sommers, 21 March 2017
Re The Cassandras Are Warning Of Nuclear Doom – So Why Doesn't Canada Seem To Care? (March 18):
Elizabeth Renzetti's review of the resurgent threat posed by nuclear weapons brings to mind physicians' efforts to educate the public and political leaders about the catastrophic medical consequences a nuclear strike would present.
I quote from a 1982 City of Toronto pamphlet we helped to prepare: "A one-megaton (70 times the destructive power of the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki) nuclear weapon detonated in the air above downtown Toronto during business hours would kill 750,000 people immediately and severely injure more than a million others; if detonated during the early evening, it would kill 624,000 residents and severely injure another 795,000. It would destroy 65- to 80 per cent of all the city's hospital beds, along with blood banks, antibiotics, sterile supplies, diagnostic and life-support systems, operating theatres and emergency treatment centres. The blast would kill more than 5,000 physicians, leaving only one doctor for every 1,000 survivors – with only a little black bag for assistance."
With our denser population, some 35 years later, these numbers would be higher. The devastating reality of nuclear arms calls on all of us, governments and citizens, to work to prevent their use.
Frank Sommers, MD, honorary and founding president, Canadian Physicians for Social Responsibility/Physicians for Global Survival
Canada Must Join New Negotiations to Eliminate Nuclear Weapons
[ pdf download ] [ version française ]
Canadians for a Nuclear Weapons Convention (CNWC) calls on the Government of Canada to participate actively in the new nuclear disarmament negotiations at the United Nations starting March 27. These negotiations, supported by a majority of states of the world and open to all countries, aim to produce a treaty prohibiting all nuclear weapons.
The urgency of this action was highlighted January 26, 2017, when the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists moved the Doomsday Clock to two-and-a-half minutes to midnight – closer than the clock has been since 1953 when the Cold War heated up following U.S. and Russian detonations of thermonuclear bombs.

5. Kehlani's Freestyle
Sure, it may be Party's newest track, but "Kehlani's Freestyle" better than the majority of the PNDCOLOURS EP he dropped at random back in December. It's a moody one, with PND keeping his sung vocals relatively straightforward over a beat that's a low-key mix of haunting and soulful qualities. He's usually at his best when singing about the downside of relationships, and it sounds like his recent one with Kehlani provided plenty of fodder for his lyrics.

Apparently February 22nd is National Margarita Day. I had no idea that such a day existed, but I'm a huge marg fan, so I'll take it! We spent last weekend in Santa Barbara and there was a margarita on the menu at the Bacara Hotel that included thyme in the ingredient list – doesn't that sounds interesting? I'm really wishing I had tried it! I'll figure out a way to recreate it and will let you know how it is. I have an equally amazing sounding margarita recipe for you today – a fresh sounding twist on the classic in the form of the French Margarita from the bartender at Riviera 31 in Beverly Hills.
Have a great weekend, whether you imbibe in a margarita (or two) or not!
2oz tequila
1oz grand marnier
3/4oz lime juice
2oz blood orange juice
1/2oz agave syrup

The Shrine of Heaven's Mirror was an order of the Brotherhood of Shinsei devoted to tend the heavenly nemuranai known as Heaven's Mirror, located in a small shrine of the same name. [1]
Foundation Edit
In the late 9th century a peasant woman named Rei found a piece of polished metal in the water, which displayed images of the Spirit Realms and the creatures therein. Transfigured by this experience, she became a monastic hermit, seeking further visions of the reality outside Ningen-do. She lived in the shrine until she passed away in the early 10th century. Her followers followed Rei's duty, and the order of the Heaven's Mirror was founded. [1]
Shrine Edit
The Shrine itself had been rebuilt twice, having a simple gate, a large graveled courtyard, a dormitory and refectory for the monks, and a small, dark building that housed the polished metal fragment. [1]
Festival of the Mirror Edit
The mirror was brought out once a year on the ninth day of the Month of the Tiger, the anniversary of Rei's discovery. During the Festival of the Mirror, any participant might claim the right to look in the mirror. Those who fell into ecstatic visions as Rei herself did, used to join the order. [2]
Tradition Edit
Followers of this path were ascetic and largely solitary, and they had communities in the shrine itself, or in any mountain or forest in which a handful of monks resided. They were seen as a revival of primitive shamanism practices, which predated the Fall of the Kami. They cultivated the ability to enter a trance state, depriving themselves of sleep for days on end, drinking alcohol to the point of delirium, dancing with wild and exhausting abandon, and consuming hallucinogenic plants such as datura, often risking death in the process. [3] They sought to extend their perceptions beyond the ordinary reality of Ningen-do with this trance state. [4]

Tried by War: Abraham Lincoln as Commander-in-Chiefby James M. McPherson
As we celebrate the bicentennial of Lincoln?s birth, this study by preeminent, bestselling Civil War historian James M. McPherson provides a rare, fresh take on one of the most enigmatic figures in American history. Tried by War/b>
The Pulitzer Prize?winning author reveals how Lincoln won the Civil War and invented the role of commander in chief as we know it
As we celebrate the bicentennial of Lincoln?s birth, this study by preeminent, bestselling Civil War historian James M. McPherson provides a rare, fresh take on one of the most enigmatic figures in American history. Tried by War offers a revelatory (and timely) portrait of leadership during the greatest crisis our nation has ever endured. Suspenseful and inspiring, this is the story of how Lincoln, with almost no previous military experience before entering the White House, assumed the powers associated with the role of commander in chief, and through his strategic insight and will to fight changed the course of the war and saved the Union.
Editorial Reviews
The New York Times
The Washington Post
Given the importance of Lincoln's role as commander-in-chief to the nation's very survival, says McPherson, this role has been underexamined. McPherson (Battle Cry of Freedom), the doyen of Civil War historians, offers firm evidence of Lincoln's military effectiveness in this typically well-reasoned, well-presented analysis. Lincoln exercised the right to take any necessary measures to preserve the union and majority rule, including violating longstanding civil liberties (though McPherson considers the infringements milder than those adopted by later presidents). As McPherson shows, Lincoln understood the synergy of political and military decision-making; the Emancipation Proclamation, for instance, harmonized the principles of union and freedom with a strategy of attacking the crucial Confederate resource of slave labor. Lincoln's commitment to linking policy and strategy made him the most hands-on American commander-in-chief; he oversaw strategy and offered operational advice, much of it shrewd and perceptive. Lincoln may have been an amateur of war, but McPherson successfully establishes him as America's greatest war leader. (Oct. 7)Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
McPherson proves that Lincoln succeeded in rallying and sustaining support for the Civil War and emancipation because he understood that military action serves national interest and recognizes political needs, that personal interest gives way to public service, and that leadership demands imagination, honesty, and courage.

February 12, 2009 marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States. Consequently, over the next year and a half, the average bookstore browser will be buried underneath an avalanche of new books on the most written about figure in all of American history.
¿Tried By War: Abraham Lincoln As Commander In Chief,¿ by James M. McPherson, noted Civil War historian & the George Henry Davis '86 Professor Emeritus of United States History at Princeton University, is among the newest in the crop of the Lincoln Bicentennial titles.
In ¿Tried By War¿ Dr. McPherson highlights how Abraham Lincoln came to understand and define the largely undefined role of commander in chief. He takes us through each phase of Lincoln¿s development into the role: from first deferring to General Winfield Scott, then to prodding George B. McClellan into action. After studying military tactics, Lincoln felt confident enough and wondered if he might borrow the army when McClellan fell ill with typhoid fever. In the end McClellan was a disappointment to Lincoln, as were Henry Halleck, Don Carlos Buell, John Pope, Ambrose Burnside, Joseph Hooker, William Rosecrans and George Meade. Through each successive general Lincoln learned and grew into the role of commander in chief, not largely because he wanted to, but because he had to. Finally, with Ulysses S. Grant, William T. Sherman & Philip Sheridan, Lincoln found generals who understood the defeat of the Confederate armies and not the surrender of Richmond, the Confederate capital, would bring the rebellion to an end.
Sadly there is little, if anything, new in fact or interpretation in this book. Dr. McPherson seems to have relied on the tried and true. Most of the content between the covers of ¿Tried By War¿ can be found in a number of other books on Lincoln.
The Lincoln-McClellan relationship is complicated, and one worthy of a book of its own. Dr. McPherson seems to have ¿cherry picked¿ every negative word and action of McClellan¿s for inclusion in his book. To be fair, McClellan has served up these quotes and snubs toward Lincoln (not to mention his overestimates of Confederate troop strength, his constant pleas for more men and his apparent lack of will to send the Army of the Potomac into battle) on a silver platter for historians. But I think Dr. McPherson¿s diagnosis of McClellan¿s ¿messiah complex¿ goes a bit too far.
If anything, at 270 pages of text, the book is too short. It is a great survey of Lincoln as commander in chief, but an in depth review of the facts and analysis of them it is not. On its merits, the book it well researched, and well written. Dr. McPherson¿s narrative flows effortlessly from topic to topic and is easily read. Though ¿Tried By War¿ may not be the book for the well read student of the Civil War it would serve as a great introduction for some one just developing their interest in the subject.
James McPherson has the uncanny ability to put you right into history, and feel the pulls and tugs of the contemporary issues of the Civil War times. Lincoln is my favorite history subject, and McPherson is my favorite historical nonfiction writer. He doesn't just give lists of dates and battles, but gets you into the heads of the movers and shakers, and the common soldiers. And he does this without fictionalizing anything. He uses the actual words and diaries of 19th century people, and contemporary observations of their friends and colleagues, and seamlessly blends it all into a very readable narrative. The extent of his knowledge and research are awesome, and he's a good writer, too! I highly recommend this book, and I'm buying it for gifts to the history buffs in my own family.
I read Battle Cry of Freedom a few months ago and found it to be possibly the best one volume history of the Civil War out there. The only problem was that I put it down wishing I knew a little more about Lincoln's role. Tried by War served this purpose well. Those who wrote reviews saying that McPherson didn't build up suspense have a point, but that was not the author's goal. If you want to understand the battles read another book; the battles themselves are not an important part of this book's thesis, the consequences were. I put down this book feeling I had a better understanding of Lincoln's role in managing the most important war in this country's history. And with that, McPherson did his job.
The book presents the war from the perspective of Lincoln as the Commander in Chief. Therfore, if you are a war battle buff this book will leave something to be desired. However, if the politcis and political implications put upon the President by the Congress, People and the Generals themselves and Lincoln's handling of these trials - the book is excellant reading!
I have a couple of James McPherson's volumes on my shelves--"Battle Cry of Freedom" and "Abraham Lincoln and the Second American Revolution"--and I've profited greatly from reading them both. In "Tried By War", the author sets out a most intersting thesis..."[Lincoln] proved to be a more hands-on commander in chief than any other president. He performed or oversaw five wartime functions in this capacity, in diminishing order of personal involvement: policy, national strategy, military strategy, operations, and tactics." Thanks to an extensive 100+ years of scholarship, the cards in both the Lincoln and the Civil War decks are all pretty much out on the table. What remains is largely a re-shuffling of them for new perspectives. This book by McPherson does a good job of rearranging the cards but I wonder why he wanted to make a book-length treatment of this rather than publishing it as a journal article. Perhaps to get this perspective into the "bloodstream" of popular as well as professional discussion.
Extremely well researched. As a retired military senior officer, I found it to be very thorough and enlightening.
An awesome, very easy to read, page turner that puts school history books to shame. A great insight to what Lincoln did for his country...for our country...regardless of what some decisions could have done to his presidency and re-election. This book shows what an elected official should do while serving his/her citizens...serve those who elected you, your country, and make decisions that are the best for the greatest number...not your base or to lock a re-election bid.
This book is very interesting and written from a unique perspective. It also has some very interesting and informative source material. No matter how much you think you know about Lincoln this book proves that there is always more to learn. Unlike a lot of history related books it is not dry and moves along at fairly good pace. No question about it McPherson is a pro and this book is well worth your time.
This is a well written and well researched novel. It holds the reader's attention in a compelling manner. Easy to read. A must for all Civil War enthusiasts. Of great value to military historians. Of general interest to the public
I never understood the intricacies of the Civil War to the extent that this book describes it. The level of detail regarding what Lincoln was faced with and how he managed the war effort was very interesting. It should be required reading for history students.
Highly Recommended - you must check it out!!
Although it rarely focuses on the specifics, McPherson creates a very readable account of Lincoln as Commander-in-Chief. A nice quick read.
Is there a discussion guide?
I have an interest in history, but I've found many of the history books to be very dry. I could barely put this book down! The way the information is presented keeps the reader enthralled! Will get more books by this auther!!
Really good analysis of Lincoln's direction of the war and his relations with his generals. (Good to read in tandem with Doris Kearns Goodwin's book about Lincoln, "Team of Rivals")

a good level of detail. He seems fair to all parties, doing a
