While Seniors do need regular exercise, this is not something to rush into. In fact, leaping into strenuous exercise can damage the well-being of seniors. Turning cranky is often a good indicator that something in their lives is not as good as it should be. One thing that most seniors complain of is that someone isn't listening to them. When they become convinced no one is listening to them many elderly citizens quit trying to communicate. If you are taking care of an elderly person in your home you need to check their responses by asking your questions in a different way to make sure you do understand what is being said. Frequently it will help to allow an appreciable interval between posing the variable question. Don't just ask YES or NO questions, but actually have a conversation. For example: “How far could you walk when you were a young lady?” is better than asking “Did you walk a lot before you got married?”

ANTHEM by Ayn Rand. What happens if a man gives up his soul to be a mindless part of a mindless mob?  The mold must be broken, and the hero of ANTHEM shall break it.

The Natural Way To Train Your Horse.  A herd of wild horses is like a nomadic community. One Mare will be the Mayor of that town. Horses usually eat throughout the day, groom each other, play and sleep. The kind of play they indulge in is to challenge each other in a game kind of like “Who's the King of This Mountain” to establish their unique position in the herd. As you study the behavior of the herd, and then the horses in the herd, you will want to be incorporating the knowledge you gain into your own horse training program. Since each horse you will meet is unique, you will need to devise a training program suited to its ability or personality.

The Duke of Wellington, That General of the stern jaw and unwavering eye that had already smashed the Great Armee of Napoleon in Spain, said that his disciplined troops could rout any American army he ever heard of.

One American Army of volunteers was racing to find where the invasion would begin.  It was a smaller army, composed of rough, rebellious frontiersmen, who had never fought together before.  They had never seen the face of a civilized foe in their lives and they were already fatigued by hard marches over the rough terrain.

800 of those American troops had just slogged 120 vicious miles through marsh and bog in just 2 days so they could be at the battle's front. They were tired, hungry, and sick. 

Sections of the American troops had 9 out of 10 men that didn't even have a rifle, some of them were so poor they didn't even own a toothpick.  Was there any hope this American army could withstand that same army that Wellington had used to butcher the Grand Armee of Napoleon?

In December of 1814 the invasion began.  When the British army was completely disembarked on Louisiana soil it numbered seven thousand tough, well-trained British soldiers, seamen, and marines, plus a thousand West Indian blacks.  To back up the army's advance the British had the massive fire power of 25 heavy guns, while the Americans would only have fourteen guns that were lighter, had less range, and could use only smaller shot.

Wellington's army had already marched to smashing victories in Talavera, Salamanca, and Vitoria. Its commanding officer was General Pakenham, Wellington's own brother-in-law.  He was a distinguished pupil of his illustrious kinsman.

Christmas came, and went as the two armies moved into position. Wellington's well-trained soldiers were fresh, well-fed, well armed and spoiling for a chance to slaughter the enemy when they came face to face with the Americans.

As night fell, the British drums were beating ominously and British soldiers were marching forward in fierce, determined steps when one American soldier stepped forward, raised his sword and brandished it at the solid ranks of the approaching British invaders. 

"They shall not sleep on American soil!" he declared, and the stage was set for The Battle of New Orleans.
