On May 10, 1940, Winston Churchill became Prime Minister. When he met his Cabinet on May 13 he told them that "I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat." He repeated that phrase later in the day when he asked the House of Commons for a vote of confidence in his new all-party government. The response of Labour was heart-warming; the Conservative reaction was luke-warm. They still really wanted Neville Chamberlain. For the first time, the people had hope but Churchill commented to General Ismay: "Poor people, poor people. They trust me, and I can give them nothing but disaster for quite a long time."
I beg to move,

That this House welcomes the formation of a Government representing the united and inflexible resolve of the nation to prosecute the war with Germany to a victorious conclusion.

On Friday evening last I received His Majesty's commission to form a new Administration. It as the evident wish and will of Parliament and the nation that this should be conceived on the broadest possible basis and that it should include all parties, both those who supported the late Government and also the parties of the Opposition. I have completed the most important part of this task. A War Cabinet has been formed of five Members, representing, with the Opposition Liberals, the unity of the nation. The three party Leaders have agreed to serve, either in the War Cabinet or in high executive office. The three Fighting Services have been filled. It was necessary that this should be done in one single day, on account of the extreme urgency and rigour of events. A number of other positions, key positions, were filled yesterday, and I am submitting a further list to His Majesty to-night. I hope to complete the appointment of the principal Ministers during to-morrow. the appointment of the other Ministers usually takes a little longer, but I trust that, when Parliament meets again, this part of my task will be completed, and that the administration will be complete in all respects.

I considered it in the public interest to suggest that the House should be summoned to meet today. Mr. Speaker agreed, and took the necessary steps, in accordance with the powers conferred upon him by the Resolution of the House. At the end of the proceedings today, the Adjournment of the House will be proposed until Tuesday, 21st May, with, of course, provision for earlier meeting, if need be. The business to be considered during that week will be notified to Members at the earliest opportunity. I now invite the House, by the Motion which stands in my name, to record its approval of the steps taken and to declare its confidence in the new Government.

To form an Administration of this scale and complexity is a serious undertaking in itself, but it must be remembered that we are in the preliminary stage of one of the greatest battles in history, that we are in action at many other points in Norway and in Holland, that we have to be prepared in the Mediterranean, that the air battle is continuous and that many preparations, such as have been indicated by my hon. Friend below the Gangway, have to be made here at home. In this crisis I hope I may be pardoned if I do not address the House at any length today. I hope that any of my friends and colleagues, or former colleagues, who are affected by the political reconstruction, will make allowance, all allowance, for any lack of ceremony with which it has been necessary to act. I would say to the House, as I said to those who have joined this government: "I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat."

We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering. You ask, what is our policy? I can say: It is to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us; to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark, lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy. You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word: It is victory, victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival. Let that be realised; no survival for the British Empire, no survival for all that the British Empire has stood for, no survival for the urge and impulse of the ages, that mankind will move forward towards its goal. But I take up my task with buoyancy and hope. I feel sure that our cause will not be suffered to fail among men. At this time I feel entitled to claim the aid of all, and I say, "come then, let us go forward together with our united strength."

What does it mean to be a Christian? Salvation is most certainly delivered as the free gift of God through the sacrifice of Christ on the Cross – but where do we go from here? The critical turning point of turning points in the life of a Christian is the deliverance from sin and death. This, therefore, leaves the Christian at a novel point in their life (and spiritual) journey.

As Christians, we are not called merely to “be” but to spread the Gospel. However, we are not called even just to do that, but to, as Jesus says in the Great Commission, to baptize, to disciple, to teach, etc. Salvation does indeed have consequences! It is an arrogant assumption that salvation is either obtained or sustained by the works of your hands (for the gap created by sin is unsurpassable by any mortal means). This is to say that good works are consequences, results, of salvation. If your testimony was to end with a decision to accept this Greatest Gift, why are we not swept up into Paradise the moment of such a choice?

As Christians, we feel the obligation to do God’s work not that it might bring anything to him but that it would bring glory to God. In a brief digression, I must add that God does not even need this glorification (because God does not require anything from humanity for Himself). It is the compulsion of a believer, however, to bring about this God-glorifying life. It is a consequence of love.

As Christians, we are given the authority and boldness through God’s Spirit to proclaim His name and live lives of worship. (“Therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, I urge you to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God; this is your spiritual worship.” Romans 12:1 (HCSB)) For the old has gone and the New has come, Scripture tells us (2 Corinthians 5:17). At the point of salvation we cease to become what we were and, consequently, our lives should change appropriately (“When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put aside childish things.” 1 Corinthians 13:11). A Christian now looks in the proverbial mirror at this more complete imago Dei, this image of God reflected in man (Genesis 1:26) and see who we are to become. Firmly established, then, is the fact that a Christian’s life is transformed in the sacrifice of Christ and acceptance of the gift and surrendering of life to God. In this divine transformation, actions are results. What, then, is the nature of these actions? The sufficiency of grace is sustained by that of love, which is God. Love is God and God is love (1 John 4:8).

As Christians, our actions are, to every extent, intended to glorify God. God is the undercurrent of everything that we do and say (at least, that is the plan, but we still sin; however, by grace we have already been forgiven). God is the reason for life. God is to mean everything to the Christian. He is center; He is focus. Scripture tells us that we should take advantage of every opportunity presented to us with these goals in mind because these days are evil (Ephesians 5:15-17). This means that we should actively engage every moment of our lives in accord with the Will of God rather than our own understanding (Proverbs 3:5).

In the church today, so often, we obtain complete misunderstandings of what it means to be a Christian. The first is afore mentioned, that of salvation being the end-point of the journey (for that is only the beginning!). Another dangerous error that plagues the church is the tendency to fall prey to humanism and to focus inwardly all that we say and do (for example, to apply the concepts of the consumerist culture that we live in to Christianity, thus making it the “church-fix” needed to get through the week, or building a spiritual resume of things you have done for your glory and not God’s glory). In Isaiah, God brings forth strong words about this consumerist or humanist living: “Stop bringing useless offerings, I despise our incense…and the calling of solemn assemblies – I cannot stand inequity with a festival…They have become a burden to Me, I am tired with putting up with them. When you life up your hands in prayer I will refuse to look at you; even if you offer countless prayers. I will not listen.” He continues: there is blood on your hands.

If our actions are me-focused rather than God-focused, we may as well be comprised of what Jon Foreman calls “show and pretense.” We might as well do away with worship, hymns, and gatherings of all sorts. If we turn our backs on the “least of these,” the homeless, the poor, the orphans, the widows, the addicts, the drunkards, the violent, the uncaring, and all of them, we might as well spit on the sacrifice of Christ and soil the Gospel. If we were to be so unabashedly selfish about the Gifts of God (namely the Greatest Gift of God, the sacrifice of Christ who was sent to defeat sin and death for the last and only time) we should not have it. We do not deserve it to begin with, hear me, and it is not being a Christian, but it is denying God Himself, to make the Christian life nothing more than a show.

In this kind of living, this charade of pomp and circumstance, this masquerade of noise and formal dress, a critical element is missing from the equation: love. In 1 Corinthians 13, the Bible tells us that if we can do anything, anything at all, “but have not love,” then we are and have nothing. The greatest of all, it is written, is love. For God’s love endures forever.

So, then, let us “instead of a show” be a “parade of righteous living” so that the whole world might know of the glory of the God we serve. This is not that we might become more, instead that we might become less. For was we become less, He becomes more (John 3:30). “Be alert, stand firm in the faith, be brave and strong. Your every action must be done with love.” 1 Corinthians 16:13-14

Enjoy the teaser. New ep is out next week.

Producer Gale Anne Hurd said at the panel, "We really want a Punisher that's closer to the comics, and we stuck to the MAX series because we wanted a Punisher that was ruthless, violent vigilante justice."

After watching the footage below I'm sure you'll agree that Garth Ennis will be proud. There's thugs getting fried by Frank's blowtorch, blood splattering everywhere, and I counted, like, 5 heads exploding. Hell, I'm surprised Frank doesn't teafrag Jigsaw in this clip. So, if you're in the mood for some of the old ultraviolence, enjoy!

[dailymotion id=x68qcf]

then you wipe your rump with wet tissue. from the space between your arm and shoulder, you see blood dripping from its gaping hole, down to your legs, to your limbs, to the floor. like an acid-base indicator dipped in sourness, gauzy paper turns red. maggots turn up from the cesspit to frolic with the mess on your skin.

you start screaming like a lost child, mindless of the remaining shit you emancipate with every sigh you let go. blood drips, stench of shit occupies your space. you start to faint with the unbearable stink.

then you see a cloud of silver resembling my face, fuming in all revulsion. it looks down on you and sneers.

vengeance is taking its toll.

If only Hollywood could put aside their blood and gore ego and remember the masterpiece that they made almost 40 years ago in All the President's Men. This was a movie that defied all the odds to me, it delivered an excellent plot, twists, suspense, it kept you guessing, and above all -- there wasn't a single shot fired. The plot was true (Nixon's henchman's infamous failed heist of the democratic headquarters) and even though you knew the ending, you still wanted to see more, because somehow even though you knew every single detail backwards and forwards, you were engaged 100% on the screen. You head was spinning through the full two and a half hours, and after so many years, here we are in 2008, still remembering this movie. Its a timeless, classic mystery, but its too action packed to be a classic or a mystery. Its a great action movie, but there wasn't a single drop of blood. This movie deserves to be in its own category, and it goes to show you that even though today we have all the money and brains we want to spend on a cinema, we are still too egotistic and stubborn to produce a movie with a plot and sequence that we could 40 years ago. And because of this, I am saddened that I was not born yet into that past movie era of great minds, directors, actors, and above all...plots.

By Dr. Tracy Scott

A little knowledge about stress and its effect on health benefits everyone.  It is estimated by the American Institute of Stress, that 75% to 90% of all doctor’s visits are caused by reactions to stress.

Stress poses a profound difficulty for everyone.  But more black men die from heart attacks associated with stress than any other ethnic group in the United States.

• 50% of African Americans who suffer from the “blues” or depression do not seek help
• 88% of women and 69% of men will get headaches and stress is the number one cause
• Stress is the number one health problem facing African Americans.  35% of African American men compared to 25% of other ethnic groups are affected by hypertension (high blood pressure)
• 1 out of every 9 women who seek care in the emergency rooms is there because of injuries resulting from domestic violence.  There is evidence to support that neighborhood crime is rooted in unhealthy stress
• Stoke is identified as being 67% higher in African American men than other ethnic groups and 88% more blacks are more likely to die from a stroke than whites

The everyday struggle of dealing with prejudice also contributes to the high and potentially deadly levels of stress in the African American community.  With the challenges of poverty, discrimination, injustice, poor choices, etc., the quality of life for African Americans both male and female encourages an ongoing and constant schizophrenic mind set of anger and assimilation that many experts believe is a primary reason for the increased death rates among the African Americans.

Suggested Stress Checklist for African Americans

• Being out of work for a month or longer

• Having a serious illness or accident

• Not having enough money for food, clothing, housing, or other necessities of life

• Being concerned with getting credit

• Having a problem with getting things repaired around the house

• Having a check arrive late or lost in the mail

• Having something stolen or having the house or car broken into

• Having a violent argument with a friend or relative

• Having some other kind of trouble with family members

• Being concerned about living in an unsafe area

• Living with racism  (Patrick Romano, 1990)

Sometimes the problem is really bad, like after we took the boys in and I literally did not sleep more than two hours a night for three months. I missed the rest of my grandchildren so much and the fight with my daughter of eleven ran through my mind, over and over and over. You know those; What could I have said? Where did it all go so horribly wrong? Why didn’t I just call out DFS at the time? (Answer to that was, I had no idea how bad it was until I got the boys home and listened to them talking among themselves.)

The worse thing replaying in my mind was worrying that the children we left behind felt abandoned. It is a restrictive extremist home and abusive. I have written DFS and our school system here has reported it, but I will likely not see my grandchildren again until they are old enough to seek me out. I just hope they are safe. If you live in Glenrock, Wyoming and know, please email me.

But, I digress, and that’s the problem with my sleeping too. I digress all night. I found out that listening to books on tape helps. But, not knew books that I have never read, so I am the major person who checks out the Harry Potter, Books on CD, at our library. Hence, the computer light is on all night for my laptop. I have not figure out why I do not have Harry Potter dreams though.

I always had problems sleeping, but now, it’s a major problem. On the nights I get to sleep, if anything wakes me up before I am deep in sleep, I cannot go back to sleep, so the voice in my headphones helps to blot sound out too.

So when, a few weeks ago, the doctor told youngest boy to take Melatonin. He does not sleep well either, in fact he and Gaffer (oldest boy) never get to sleep before 2 or 3am, even on school nights. They are, obviously, not morning people.

The Melatonin worked so well for youngest boy that I decided to try it. Whoww!! Dream/nightmare time. Two nights in a row, I had the same vivid dream.

Now, I usually remember my dreams and I dream a lot. I can even remember a few I had repeatedly when I was a kid. When I had measles I had a recurring dream about a human size chocolate chip cookie, which rolled around on the streets. It wasn’t a nightmare. I’m thinking maybe I should go into advertising because it’s a lot like the cookie in the commercial that sings and get’s eaten. I also tend to dream about cake a lot. I mean I taste it in my sleep even. I have a major frosting issue. I go to weddings for the cake.

A Melatonin dream, I am finding, is a bloody dream. In the dream, my hands and arms to my elbows were covered with blood. Chrome smelling, thick, sticky blood. I think I was going around looking for the source of the blood, if I remember and not thinking about the Melatonin causing it, I took one the next night and had the exact same dream.

I didn’t take it for a while and then I took half a pill for a while. My memory being the length of a gnat, I forgot all about the bloody dream. Then, I hadn’t slept for three nights and was getting desperate and actually took two. 

Nightmare back. This time the blood was on boxes. That’s all I remember at this point. Chrome smell, sticky, thick blood on boxes. 

Vivid dreams and nightmares is listed as a side-effect of Melatonin. Blood is not mentioned. You are warned.

I was just homesick for myself he said.
Childhood is the country you go back to,
a few black and white photographs
and the moments to be found there.
Anywhere I feel at peace is where I’ll go.

The next was when my mother cut her hand
washing up, her blood mixed
with the dishwater, nothing but red
needing air; the glass mountain cracked.
Now her limbs ache when it rains.

* * *

On this cool evening my shimmering
room fan shifts. Standing
in front of a sink washing potatoes,
time slips through my fingers.
Home is what the heart has left.

It was always someone elses,
a dream city with heavy locks,
the smell of lead. I wanted
to see the curve of the earth
from space, orange deep and blue-black.

That bite out of the coast where we live
and millions like us. Who hasn’t fallen,
and been bruised ? Who hasn’t thought
of death and the tide bringing
its lost cargo back home ?

A tornado, a hurricane. No not the winds whirling round and round picking up cars and cows and houses, the strange stillness in the middle. Time is not forward or back, it is never past, it is always
now.

Home is somewhere with a caved in roof, covered in brambles. It only properly exists in a few black and white photographs.

Dorianne Laux
Trees are time. Leaves
fall like minutes. Eons
of rings hidden at the core.
They tick like clocks in the breeze
and the birds who live inside them
are small beating hearts. They watch
the grass grow over their feet.
Their limbs ache when it rains.
The oldest knew the mountains
when they were young, when
they had all the time in the world.

Sunday
Now —is a cool evening and creature comforts,
After a sticky walk, along an ultra sunlit River Thames.
My shimmering room fan shifts warm draughts
While outside my neighbour’s stereo sounds travel
Terrace to Victorian terrace, as song lyrics unravel.

Now —is a sunset, orange deep and blue-black streaks
Over a jewel studded cityscape that tremors in silence,
Invisible people connections, roll on in delicious mystique.
A small boy-child, stretches out on top of his bed’s duvet
I watch him sleep and pray, all of life will be his heyday.

Time is a broken hourglass, the tide bringing in rope, plastic, fish skulls and lost cargo. It’s the sea retreating from the wet sand and returning again. It’s the circle you walk in to find your way home.

I thought my mother had bled internally, didn’t understand what happened, cried all the way from the toilet to the kitchen where she was washing potatoes. She laughed when I told her I saw blood in the toilet bowl, a red mass, more than anything I’d seen before. She explained girl-things, said that she wasn’t dying. I did think in retrospect that she wouldn’t still be standing in front of a sink washing potatoes.

Lucy Leagrave
My mother cut her hand white washing out a glass. her blood mixed with the dishwater, soaked through the bandage and was everywhere. I was about 7 or 8. I came to the hospital with her.

Julia May's Dream
In her dream of absolute
Julia May was leaping
In and out of Black Holes;
Snake fingers on the laptop
Lunar music twisted in clasps
Roped algebraic shadows
Wrapped tight
In icy linen
On the glass mountain
Julia May was able to feel
Houses of iron
And houses of brick
Over a park, peppered
With electric lamps and bird droppings
Wrapped tight
Left to soak
In alabaster breath
Wrapped tight
Snow on airy hands
The smell of lead
Julia May was able to see
Egg yoke under a bowl of blue
Shadows of people awake
In her dream city with heavy locks
A town house, on her now island
Wrapped tight
A gasping mouth
To suck the earth
Wrapped tight
In fluid sleep
A scream turned into stone
Wrapped tight
A silver toy hurried from place
By the noon wind

I recall seeing an old drunk guy with his head cracked open on the bathroom floor of Saratoga springs race track. I think i was about 5. There was a pool of dark liquid next to his head.

Welcome to our Friday feature on BCP, “The Best Sex I Never Had,” in which we invite our readers to submit their most humiliating, pathetic, and just-plain-awful sexual experiences for public consumption.  Seriously, email us!  It’s like a group therapy session with 1,000 of your closest friends.  You’ll feel so much better after you share.  If you would like to contribute, see the rules for submission at the end of this post.

Today’s story comes to us courtesy of Medalofpetals, and may put you in mind of a previous tale, in which poor Mintie was subjected to some downright ungentlemanly behavior with regards to her ladyflower.  This week, the lovely Miss Petals indeed deserves a medal for her graceful treatment of an ungrateful college suitor.  As punishment for his infliction of insult upon injury, we recommend a bloody good slap upside the head.

Medalofpetals writes…

My worst sex totally had the potential to be among my best, and kind of was until the shit hit the fan or to be more accurate, the blood hit the sheets.  I was in college and having Sunday afternoon everybody-is-at-the-library-except-us sex in my boyfriend's dorm room.  Everything about the sex was going gloriously for me, and then I had the realization that it was all just a little too wet down below.  I look down and, sure enough, I see little traces of blood on the dude's stomach, my stomach, the sheets, everywhere.  I got really freaked out because a) my period was definitely not supposed to be happening and b) I had no freaking clue how the guy would react.  And react well he did not.

Before he noticed what was going on, I told him to stop, leave the room and give me five minutes to myself.  Of course this kind of freaked him out, and then he noticed the blood and really started to flip his shit.  I was already embarrassed that I got my period in the middle of sex, and then he commenced to humiliate me. 

He opened his mouth and out came this whole lecture on how this was totally unclean, unsafe, unhygienic, and um, my fault.  Yah.  And then he delivered the line that pushed me from humiliated to pissed off.  He said, "This is how people get diseases," and then commenced to tell me that we would both have to go get tested for STIs.  Now, he was a biology major and I just a humanities major, but there was no way in hell he was going to convince me that my fucking period blood was going to give him a disease.  Fortunately, he finally shut up and got in the shower so I could, you know, plug up my vagina from leaking unclean, diseased blood.  I then had the pleasure of stripping his bed, washing his sheets, and making up his bed.

Did the fun end there?  Negative.  He sat me down to tell me just how disgusted he was about the whole thing, and how he was going to take himself and his precious non-bleeding dick to the clinic to make sure that my bloody little vagina didn't give him a disease.  I made sure that he didn't have access to said vagina for some time after that. 

Can you top Medalofpetals’ story?  Is that good sex compared to what you’ve been through?  If you’d like to contribute a sad tale of tail, please email:  tarred.and.tailfeathered@gmail.com.  Keep it short, sweet, and as explicit as you like.  Include your preferred pseudonym.  Please also be factual — this is not “Penthouse Forum.” And that’s it!  We can’t wait to hear the gory details, so get to it.  They’re posted in the order in which they’re received.

Nu va lasati pacaliti de trailer. There Will Be Blood nu e nici pe departe un western clasic, nici macar vreunul crepuscular, gen The Unforgiven. E un film mocirlos, in care murdaria este omniprezenta: personajele sunt mai tot timpul imputite de petrol sau noroi, iar cand reusesc sa se spele un pic, mizeria morala iese si mai abitir la iveala. Scenariul e ca o panza freatica: la suprafata, lupta pentru inavutire in America inceputului de secol XX, sub, fanatism vs. pragmatism, alienarea in familie sau polii de putere intr-o comunitate; de la un punct, insa, aluneca spre absurd (ceva in genul Lupului de Stepa al lui Hesse), ceea ce, pentru mine unul, ar fi fost deranjant, daca n-ar fi fost Daniel Day Lewis.

Pe unul dintre afisele oficiale ale filmului scrie: "Interpretarea secolului". O fi, n-o fi, nu stiu. Un lucru stiu sigur, totusi: vocea lui galgaita, ochii mijiti, mimica arida si mersul schiopatat m-au tintuit cu ochii pe ecran. Cred ca as privi si Folclorul contraataca sau Din dragoste, daca ar fi prezentate de Daniel Plainview.

Cand ma gandesc ca There Will Be Blood a fost principalul concurent al lui There Is No Country For Old Men la Oscaruri, imi pun din nou intrebarea: Oare a cazut Hollywood-ul in vreo depresie?

I wait for the time, it comes real slow.
I would rather hide, but you already know.
What lays in the dark, with a glare in my eye.
Staring close, as you sit and cry.
You hear me breath, as your tears fall down.
Waiting for me, to take care of your frown.
But I sit and watch, as you wipe them away.
You get on your knees, and begin your pray.
Your words are soft, and pure as can be.
But you know your words, are hard for me to see.
You look back, to make sure Im there.
But my look brings, a chill in the air.
You look away, and look into the sky.
You can tell, midnight has passed by.
You begin to stand up, and take in the fresh air.
You realize it was me that made you feel better, not the prayer.

raised in the wind.

Dirty and wasted,

For he has sin.

A crushed heart,

Lay inside his soul.

The Nobody hangs,

Above a blood filled bowl.

Draining him slow,

Drip after Drip after Drip.

A blood bath,

But unable to grip.

The Nobodies,

That has gone this far.

The dead will always be with them,

And will always know who they are!
