The first time I pulled my knickers down I felt my soul fall out
hmm what i expected despite all the positives I see written
I am proud that i have never seen a female stripper, I know you might think its an odd thing to be proud of, but it means that its something that i can keep for myself, I can tell my colleagues when they suggest going to a club that Im not going to spoil that record now
the good thing is that it also makes them feel that it is less acceptable for them to go to one
....they suggest it to me perhaps cos they think that I am up for stuff, and am into male bonding activities. I hope the younger ones will reconsider.....the older ones (managers) I feel distinctly disappointed in and superior to.
I think that this is all really really sad and sordid, to men to a degree as well as women.....its like the woman says......why does a guy get appluaded by his mates for paying for a woman to take her clothes off.
Why do men not feel sullied by the introduction of money into the idea of sex or sensuality?
This whole area makes me feel very dissappointed in peoplekev_theinvisable, untrue, SabeenaAkhtar, and Antpocalypsenow this'd this
totally agree man
I find it completely depressing when I've been asked to these kind of things and then been baffled at the reaction to my answer of no. I think that the guys who do these kinds of places have no idea of how much of big a whole in their souls and hearts they must have to not only consider going to these places but also think it's a good time?
- DaveMK this'd this
i agree wholeheartedly
it's like going to a restaurant and only looking at the menu. Why not, for £20 more, pop down the knocking shop and get your dipstick wet
tits oot for the love?
;) <3marilyninthesky this'd this
my ex boyfriend was once in a strip club
a pound in a pint jar type place. He didn't have any change, so the stripper tried to steal the watch off his wrist.
I brought him that watch. It was made of pink plastic and cost £3 in Tiger, Hammersmith.
(disclaimer: I'm not trying to pretend that this is a simple issue or that all strippers feel similarly about their work, this is just one depressing story, much like the article).
i've never been to a strip club and the extent of my strip club knowledge comes from the sopranos
yet somehow i still know the guardian are over sensationalizing this
the way they always do with issues like this, in an irritating middle class tone
- jordannn this'd this
in an irritating middle class tone
i've never been to a strip club and the extent of my strip club knowledge comes from the sopranos
...you see it, right?
my point being
i refuse to believe that all strippers are depressed about their job, which is the general tone of that article.
the article is an interview with an actual ex-stripper
whatever your position on the issue, it's quite a lot more irritatingly middle-class to declare that the lives of (mostly) working-class women obviously can't be THAT bad based on a self-proclaimed total lack of knowledge. just sayin'shinymcshine and oneforghost this'd this
i didn't say mostly?
but strip bars exist in lots of different cultures, at varying degrees of respectability. i admit that i don't know a whole lot about stripping and that culture, but i do know better than to assume most women must secretly hate themselves for doing it.
i meant that strippers are mostly working-class women
who's 'assuming' anything? the article is about a book by a woman who has actual first-hand experience of the job and presumably lots of interaction with other strippers. that doesn't make it an absolute authority on the subject but it's a massive fuckload better-informed than your opinion
my opinion being: not everybody feels the same way about everything?
that's pretty much the extent of it.
i don't know why you keep reminding me that it's an interview, my issue is with the guardian falling into guardian-style editorial cliches. shit like "popularised by rihanna" and general tone is the problem.
i offered my full disclosure because this was more about how the guardian always misrepresents issues like this, even when it's an issue i don't fully understand their patronising sneer shines through.
how do you know they're misrepresenting something
when you literally keep saying you don't know anything about it? i mean i actually think there are plenty of bits to take issue with in the article but to say the whole thing is just 'over sensationalizing' is patronisingly dismissive of an issue which is routinely dismissed by people saying ridiculous things like 'the women are exploiting the men'
i honestly don't have it in me to keep this going
i didn't use the words over sensationalizing. it's a problem for some, perhaps the majority.
my problem is the tone the guardian have taken, that's my opinion. you can keep pretending that i need to have extensive knowledge of the stripping industry (like you do, i'm guessing?) if you want to, but i never made any comments about the seriousness of the problem at hand; just the guardian specifically.
yeah you did
and nah i don't have extensive knowledge of this, i just think it's a bit lazy to dismiss stuff like this by doing a CG-esque 'lol the guardian'. but y'know, i'm generally fine with papers taking stances on things rather than aspiring to absolute neutrality, so hey
my bad
re the over sensationalizing.
btw here's a fun THOUGHT EXPERIMENT: what if the guardian printed an article
by a stripper talking about how she finds her job totally empowering and fun and insinuated that most other strippers feel the same way? i assume you'd be equally as irritated by such 'over sensationalizing', and that you'd definitely point out how it was a patronisingly middle-class angle (since only wealthy women are really in a position for stripping to be a meaningful choice, and they're not very representative of the demographics of the profession). right?
it depends
it's hard to really pass judgment on an article that doesn't exist.
do you know what a thought experiment is?
if not, let's imagine you did...
If they did that they'd call it
'burlesque'.tiramisu this'd this
i don't know why you're assuming that all women must care deep down
if you want to flip it you can easily say that the women are exploiting the men. they dance, the men mindlessly hand over cash to continue to just look. i can see how somebody might see it that way.
i'm sure there are strippers who hate it and hate the verbal abuse (note: you don't really have any evidence that verbal abuse happens at all strip bars) but it's patronising to imply they all do.
i can see how somebody might see it that way
yeah, me too. probably somebody whose entire knowledge of strip clubs comes from the sopranos, though.
just so you know, the strippers in the sopranos are treated like shit most of the time. one even gets murdered.
so i'm pretty sure i'm not basing anything on that.
i'm basing it on general experience that not all people feel victimized by the same things. just because you linger around an internet message board sniffing out the next feminism bait to sink your teeth into, doesn't mean all women are on your side of "the line".
man, you're kidding, i've never met a woman who disagreed with me!
where are they all hiding?!?! also yeah i've never seen the sopranos, so apologies for any uninformed assumptions i may have made
- splitterwill this'd this
I had a friend come out with a vehement anti-strip club rant when we were given free entry passes in the street
Along the lines of: "I FUCKING HATE STRIP CLUBS! You go in, you sit down, and some hot woman comes up and shoves her arse in your face. And all you want to do is smack it, but YOU CAN'T! Because if you do, a seven foot tall man made mostly of meat will pick you up, throw you out, and kick seven shades of shit out of you.
I'd rather go home and have a beer and a wank."
You and I, divine but not devout

this has overtaken
''In some instances, no Bengalis at all.''
as the greatest sentence i've seen written in a newspaper.
the first time i pulled my knickers down my soul fell out
but i carried on doing it because, y'know, the money was good and working a more normal job with longer hours seemed like a worse proposition.Mehodor this'd this
um, yeah
that is, assuming that she had the time/experience/job-hunting skills/interview skills/self-esteem/etc to find another job.DarwinDude this'd this
those are some of the most pathetic excuses ever. Theres are millions of people who work menial jobs and dont resort to stripping. You can get jobs where you dont even bother with an interview, i worked plenty of them. Forigve me but i cant really feel any sympathy for someone who chooses to strip and then later finds out the harsh realities of it, but still carries on.Mehodor this'd this
but she did
when she was given the option of taking her knickers off or not.
do you actually think there's an abundance of work out there for people who often have addiction problems and no experience or qualifications? yeah these women are probably just lazy. get a job in a factory or something love.
are you saying stripping is their only option?
what if your friend was in this predicament would you say "i understand your pain but y'know theres no other options for you"?
I don't think that analysing this from a position of
a) seeming emotional disconnection and
b) pig-headed assurances about the fluidity of labour markets (especially in provincial towns)
gives a particularly sound base from which to argue your point from. I understand the rational root from which your points are coming from, but you're not going to understand the problem if you can't emotionally sympathise with, and understand the economic problems which, engulf some people.
Not everyone is as strong as you - if indeed you actually are...
I don't think anyone in my relatively well off group of friends is unfortunate enough to find themselves in this situation
but I've spoken in person to women who do work in the sex trade and want out. It's not as easy as just showing up at the jobcentre. And having worked with groups who try to stop sex trafficking, I know how difficult it is.
I don't recall what happened the first time I pulled my knickers down
But in recent years I have observed two children doing so and if that's what your soul looks like, I don't want one. Of course I was very encouraging and assured them they would get the hang of it eventually and did not pass comment on the smell of their souls at all.
I don't think I have that many outright inflammatory views on stuff...
...but anyone (man or woman) who feeds these horrible industries are down there on the bottom rungs of all humanity. The very fact these places actually exist saddens me beyond belief. Anyone who chooses to use them is an irreddeemable cunt...
Have you never been to one
even on a stag do?
Yeah I've been twice to strip clubs.
Both on stag do's. Neither time have I bought anything other than a bottle of beer.
And both times I have forsaken my morals because it is easier to do rather than having to endlessly justify yourself to a group of people who don't give a shit about it. I'm a weak man for doing so to an extent (essentially to prevent myself getting grief from other people) but I don't think it invalidates my position.
And, just to reaffirm, I have never bought a dance nor contributed to one for someone else.
of course it invalidates your position, what with you feeding the industry you're so morally opposed toDaddyorChips, TheWza, and andyvine this'd this
I disagree...
...but I see where you're coming from. And I'm not justifying my behaviour. My attendance alone is clearly 'part of the problem'. I admitted my decision for going was borne out of weakness, and one which I am happy to be called up on.
I don't think it totally discredits what I was saying though - I'm not saying it's one rule for me and another for others; I'm not saying my actions are justifiable; and if you choose to rank me, based upon what I have said, alongside the 'bottom rungs of all humanity' (to use my own words) then fair enough.
Have you ever taken drugs?
Because that's also "feeding a horrible industry".
It's a pretty high-horse attitude to take.Reckoning this'd this
It's a very high-horse attitude to take...
...but I don't think it's one that you'd find many disagreeing with. And yes, I smoke. If you think that is a contradiction that invalidates what I'm saying then fair enough.
Basically it all boils down to: What sort of a prick are you if you have to go somewhere and PAY A GIRL TO TAKE THEIR CLOTHES OFF IN FRONT OF YOU? Think about it. Especially if you are married/in a relationship. I can understand to an extent if you're bitterly lonely but if you're with someone? You are truly appalling...
Smoking and consuming coffee (probably tea too) are all effectively enslaving a lot of people.
I guess buying from cheap shops like TopShop and Primark similarly do the same.
I don't think this invalidates your position on Strip clubs. Maybe if you can find someone who's a complete straight edge and never has tea or coffee and buys their clothes only from the most trustworthy of shops, but STILL regularly goes down strip clubs...maybe that person can turn round and call you a low-down stinking hypocrite.
I wasn't crying hypocrisy
Just pointing out that it's a little inconsistent to have a vitriolic attitude (let's face it - he's using some pretty aggressive language) in one case and be unconcerned in the other.
Yeah I do have a rather vitriolic attitude to it...
...that's correct. It's a personal stance, which I THINK I made clear. If I didn't, I apologise. Maybe I am getting all PocketMouse about it. I don't care. We all have things that we get angry about; this makes me angry. Therefore, I'll have a moan about it... (something about variety of opinions/rich tapestry of life etc.)
I'm not sure what harm my personal stance on this matter does, apart from potentially upset people who frequent strip clubs and speak positively about the experience.
Having an opinion is one thing.
Explaining it is another matter.
And I'm not yet sure of the rationale behind your vitriol.
Going on what you've said so far, there are a couple of possibilities. But I'm not certain exactly where the beef lies.
See below
(...is it essential for you to know where the beef lies? Because I CAN detail it if you want, I'd just rather not because I don't think the time expended on doing so is worth it).
>"I don't think it's one that you'd find many disagreeing with."
I think you're wrong.
>"Especially if you are married/in a relationship."
What about when both parties in the marriage/relationship are there?
>"I can understand to an extent if you're bitterly lonely but if you're with someone? You are truly appalling..."
Why? With the first part of that you're accepting some sort of rationale. But with the second, you're removing it on the basis of a fairly arbitrary and unconnected reasoning. Seems like a logic fail to me.Raanraals this'd this
1st point - fair enough
2nd point - that's an interesting demographic to think about. However, I don't think that the strip club industry is built upon providing pleasure for married couples both in the vicinity... could be wrong mind.
3rd point - I take umbrage with the fact that if you're in a relationship, you'd go somewhere else to pay someone else to get naked for you. I can understand that if you're not, then you might, because you don't have a sexual partnership with someone. I don't think this is arbitrary/unconnected reasoning - it's quite straightforward is it not. It's not a logic fail, there's clearly logic there, but maybe it's just not a position you agree with... and that's fair enough.
2nd point - that is as maybes, but they defo exist. what do you think about them?
3rd point - what if you don't have a sexual relationship with your partner? can you understand it then? can you now begin to see that perhaps there's a flaw in your apparently straightforward approach to human interaction?
your position is not logical because you're basing an across the board opinion about something on a subsection of that particular thing, to the exclusion of things that don't fit your 'theory'.
And although I'm still not certain exactly where your beef lies, it seems to be with the fundamental notion of making a payment in exchange for the viewing of human flesh. But, as I say, I'm not certain if that's your feeling on the matter until you move beyond opinions about the actions of others.
2nd - well, it certainly improves their standing on account of there not being a lot of deceit involved...
...from my experience (and I could be wrong here), most people I know frequent strip clubs because they aren't sufficiently sexually gratified in their relationships, and therefore go behind their partners' backs in order to achieve this. I think this is, by and large, pretty indecent behaviour but that's probably where we differ. As a result, if the experience is being shared between partners then, for me, it makes it a lot less objectionable. So, cool, you've at least made me concede some ground from the way my initial proposition was worded...
3rd - is this a common position people find themselves in? I don't know... But yes I'm in as much agreement as anyone that my position might be flawed. I AM viewing this matter in perhaps a very narrow way, and maybe I don't realise the socially beneficial things that strip clubs etc. can bring...
Can I ask you a question (you don't have to answer...) do you frequent strip clubs (of any kind) in order to gain sexual gratification (of any kind)? You don't have to answer, and nor will I use that answer as a means of judgement...
I'm not yet convinced about your first bits.
But true or not, I don't think we do differ all that much in that sense. Deception's not cool.
I'm not sure how to take the 'socially beneficial' bit. I'll presume it to be a quip and move on... to your last question... which is worded very specifically.
Yeah, I have been to places with women stripping or naked. On a handful of occasions (we're talking comfortably in single figures here). Let's go through 'em and treat this as a worked example!...
Half of the times have been stag-based, and probably matches quite closely to your own experiences: pretty scuzzy and far from 'sexy', but I didn't feel like I was forsaking my morals. But (as a partnered guy) I probably would've done if I'd have gotten up to what my married/partnered mates got up to (and probably didn't tell their partners, compared to my personal preference of being a bit more more restrained and upfront by recounting the truth of 'yeah - went there and had a few beers and didn't go back on the second night like some of 'em did.'). One one occasion we walked out half way through a pint and went straight to the indie disco a bit earlier cos the beer was so awful. On another I went as a single guy with some mates and paid for a lapdance - it was ok, but the fact that I've not paid for another in the many years since is probably the only comment really worth making about that. I've been to a couple of burlesque club nights with MsWza (nb: blokes were on stage, doing routines, too. I'm straight, afaik, but, in one way or another, this was probably a big contribution to the whole shebang being a much more enjoyable night out that A N Other stag-based affair). On another occasion I've been to a supposedly alt/suicide girls/burlesque (hi Theo!) type place with MsWza - it didn't live up to the billing, was a bit lame for a number of reasons, and I think we only stayed for one drink. ~The End~
Sexual gratification? Gratification is quite an evocative word. I wasn't excitedly creaming myself at the sight of baps, that's for sure. And I can barely remember actually being aroused. But in certain cases, there's been mild titillation. Draw your own conclusions, but I think the answer falls broadly into the 'no' category.
^ Impotent
;)TheWza this'd this
Cool. No judgements here!
The reason why I asked was because I have never come across someone who frequents strip clubs who can talk all that comfortably about their reasons for doing so. Y'know it's always like a 'dirty little secret' type thing. In spite of the fact these places are legal and loads of people go to 'em of a weekend so, in theory, where's the shame? The reason I asked you is because you were the one most vocally challenging what I was saying... not that I was going "oh yeah, I bet you're in 'em every week you dirty cunt" or anything! I was just intrigued for reasons of my own experimentation...
I do find it odd that in discussions of this nature you don't get people chipping up going "I go all the time - it's really, really good!" and talk about it comfortably. When, in theory, given their prevalence, legality and visibility, where's the problem?
I don't think they're prevalent
amongst the indie bedwetting demographic of DiS.
anyone (man or woman) who feeds these horrible industries are down there on the bottom rungs of all humanity.
-does that include the strippers themselves?
Yeah, but that statement semantically implies
that literally ANYONE who "feeds" the industry (as the performers themselves technically do) is deserving of the same level of disapprobation.
Ah! A very fair question...
...I do take significantly less umbrage with strippers themselves than people who go to strip clubs and pay them to dance naked for them. But I suppose ultimately, given my wording, maybe I shouldn't... (and your questions does expose a fatal flaw in my expression of vitriol, so fair play).
Please define: "these places".
Otherwise, I'm unsure what it is that you're condemning.
Seriously though.
I have no idea what GeOff means by "these places" until it's specified.
All of them?
OK. Let's work with that. I have one simple answer: outrage of the GeOff's can only ever be one of a personal moral position of preference. But as fundamental philosophical position, it's fatally flawed. The devil is in the detail.
Yes, it IS a total personal moral position of preference. It is a personal judgement/opinion.
Spot on. I didn't expect this to be held up as a fundamental philosophical position.
- DaveMK this'd this
It's not.
I'm trying to establish what is at the source of your judgement.
(To clarify: the 'it's not' was directed at the latter 'fpp' bit, rather than former.)
You're going a little further than "a personal moral position of preference" though
You're morally judging and scathingly, sweepingly criticising others.
Ok - true.
As I've asked TheWza upthread - do you frequent stip clubs, just out of interest? (You don't have to answer...)
i'm not sure why you think he's trying to present a
fundamental philosophical position
but i also don't think that means the issue of strip clubs/sex work
can be dismissed as silly moralistic personal opinion
Until GeOff clarifies,
I don't know what "the issue" is.
What does it matter what the issue is, essentially?
I've clarified a number of times it is a personal opinion. I am more than happy to go over my issue with it, but I'd rather not owing to being at work and having better things to do with my time than argue with someone who isn't a) going to change my opinion and b) doesn't agree with it whatsoever. Not everything needs to be explained to the nth degree... (unless you can make a case for it in this instance).
I seem to remember a thread where TheWza explained the difference between Burlesque and strip clubs.
I believe the distinction was: Burlesque is middle class and therefore empowering and non-exploitative whereas strip clubs are working class and therefore women are being horribly exploited.
Hmm, I'd give TheWza a bit more credit than that, personally...
...he normally presents significantly more reasoned arguments.
From what I recall, Theo made a strikingly similar misrepresentation of my opinions in this type of discussion once before.
It's pretty unhelpful.
I already read it.
I was wrong. Your argument was that strip clubs were bad and Burlesque was good because that's how it is.
Oh Theo all you want but you'll find that's the truth of how it reads.
It's not really an argument that can be 'won' as such.
Oh Theo
You are, of course, entitled to your opinion on the 'truth* of how it reads'?
*your opinion
I'm drinking fewer chocolate milkshakes.
Makes them more special when I do have one.
should have more accurately said 'issues'
of which i'm sure you'll agree there are many surrounding the industry - gender inequality, sexual exploitation, assault/harassment, addiction, take yer pick. now i wouldn't go as far as to say that anyone who has ever visited a strip club is an irredeemable cunt, but given those issues i think there are some quite important ethical and political dimensions in the act of going to a strip club that you can't reduce to a "personal moral position of preference" (which, let's be honest, sounds like you're basically just saying "prude")
Hence the quotemarks.
And GeOff has now largely clarified the matter.
And downthread, I've already acknowledged that you've made some totally valid points re: the ethical/political dimensions.
You can project the word prude onto my words if you want. But that'd most definitely be your choice of words, not mine (because that'd detract from the point being made, as clarified upthread).
i'm not sure why you think I think he's trying to present a
fundamental philosophical position
I believe their suspicions
were first aroused by your use of the words "fundamental philosophical position".
I know.
I also used the words "personal moral position of preference".
I didn't really ascribe GeOff's comments as being either. I was just suggesting the relative validity of those comments, should they fall under one categorisation or the other.
- TheWza this'd this
so, what, you're a moral relativist?
how do you define the validity of a 'fundamental philosophical position' more accurately than a moral stance? don't totally understand the distinction you're trying to draw tbh
I'm not gonna get drawn into which school of thought you or I think I belong to.
Not least because neither you or I know for sure. (Keep me updated though, if you wish to pass comment, cos it gives me things to add to the reading list. Srsly.)
I'll try and answer your other point.
To c&p from upthread, I was wondering whether GeOff's opinions boiled down to the level of 'the fundamental notion of making a payment in exchange for the viewing of human flesh'.
I see that as something along the lines of a 'fundamental philosophical position'. It's almost a binary yes/no thing.
But I don't think that he thread was operating on that level until GeOffs post hinted towards it. And if he was taking it down to that level, then, well, that's a whole 'nother thread(/course of study).
And based on posting in this thread so far, it would seem that that's not quite the level GeOff was talking about. And he acknowledges some of the contradictions inherent in the necessary theory underlying his strong initial statement.
The 'personal moral position of preference' bit is intended to refer to the acknowledged spectrum of ethical and political issues that arise once you move away from a baseline opinion. It's what I think the thread was about in the earlier parts, where you, wishpig, DarwinDude et al were making solid points.
See above.
that'x not a very uplifting read
i've never been fully against the places, and if women want to earn their money that way, i don't really have a problem with it, but i'd never like to go to such an establishment, and from the sounds of it neither do many of the women working there, so when i read lines like "And she says the increase in university tuition fees will "undoubtedly" mean more women turn to lap-dancing" it makes me pretty sad about the current state of our country.
There aren't any women left in here, are there?
No worries, I know where I can find some!
They all made sensible points, then, sensibly, left before GeOff started trolling.
...but I do concede that had I known what impact my post would have, I would have chosen my words a bit more carefully.
Ill thought through - yes. Trolling - nah.
^Totally trolled.
(Yeah, fair point, it's become clear that you're up for a proper chat about it rather than just throwing in some incendiary stuff and legging it.)
just cause she dances go-go
it don't make her a ho, nosharp_yet_blunt this'd this
They are really depressing places
These gentlemen's clubs. Full of sad, pissed LADS and overpriced beer. I went in one once, £20 on the door and a gaggle of complete slappers caked in makeup came over to us and started making idle chit-chat. The aim obviously to get us to pay for a private show. The sad thing is, people fall for it and line up at a cash point to take more money out to get the briefest glimpse of snatch.
The girls get paid silly amounts of money for doing fuck all which they probably think is great, until they realise they are over the hill at 30, have no qualifications, no experience in anything worthwhile and have spent 10 years gyrating in front of strangers for money which has now come to an abrupt stop.
Do the girls get paid silly amounts of money?
"...she found herself struggling to make a profit after her £80 house fee."
They certainly can do
If it is a quiet night they don't get paid, which is the flipside I suppose.
In some clubs you're not just tied into paying a house fee
There are other fees such as makeup (you have to use their makeup and hiar people, so that the white girls look consistently orange enough). Some clubs also makwe them buy their attire from them. That said, if you're a good dancer and know how to work it (the crowd, and your body) then you can easily clean up in some of the pricier clubs. Sadly, the bottom end of these clubs does not deliver quite the same margin and generally speaking there's a higher pressure on the women to use prostitution to supplement their income.

Launched in the middle of the Spider-Verse giant crossover event, the first few issues of Spider-Woman were tied up in universal madness and controversy about her backside. Now, Jessica Drew enters a new era, with her first new look in like 30 years, but what brings about such monumental change? Your Major Spoilers review of Spider-Woman #5 awaits!
Writer: Dennis Hopeless
Penciler: Javier Rodriguez
Inker: Alvaro Lopez
Colorist: Javier Rodriguez
Letterer: VC's Travis Lanham
Editor: Nick Lowe
Publisher: Marvel Comics
Cover Price: $3.99
Previously in Spider-Woman: "As a child, Jessica Drew fell ill with a fatal disease. To save her life, her scientist fatherm injected her with a serum of spider blood. The injection worked, but it also gave her unbelievable spider-like powers. With this power, Jessica became Spider-Woman! After teaming up with other Spider-Men and Wemone to take down the villainous Inheritors, Jessica returned to the Earth she knew, ready for a change. She quite the Avengers in order to reconnect with the normal world…"
The weird thing about Spider-Woman's 2005 return in the pages of New Avengers was how little they ever seemed to do with her. Aside from a couple of odd exchanges about her pheromonic powers, Jess was mostly there to look cool with her costume and big hair. During the Spider-Verse event, she took a key role, but the fact that her #1 issue was a continuation of the extant crossover story bothered me. With last's issue's revelations (and the super-charming interactions between Spider-Woman and Captain Marvel, reminding us that they have long been friends in-continuity), Spider-Woman is taking off on her own for the first time, making this issue feel like the real #1. (The alternate cover homaging the original Spider-Woman #1 helps with that, as well.) We open with Spider-Woman interrupting an attack by a some sort of monster-man on an unarmed civilian woman, with really great dialogue throughout, including Jessica's revealing meta-statement that part of her costume changes was due to "shame-Googling Spider-Woman butt" for a week. It's clever, it's fun, and it reminds me of the Hawkeye relaunch a couple of years ago, especially when it's revealed that she's not fighting a super-villain, but interrupting an NYPD training exercise…
The art in this issue is flat-out wonderful, underlining hard what a mistake it was to start a new series with the glam-shiny tracing of Greg Land. Jessica's new costume looks great in action and out, and Rodriguez & Lopez take her from back-alley to apartment to jail without any of it seeming awkward or sketchy. The all-important facial expressions are great here, and when Phil Urich arrives to officially start off Jessica's new status quo, their interplay is visually and textually great. I will say that this issue doesn't do much to undermine the comparisons to the new Batgirl in tone and visuals, but frankly, since I enjoy both books and find them to be refreshing antidotes to the grim world-shattering ARRRGH!, I'm really sort of fine with that. There is also the issue of relative power-levels to be dealt with, as well, as Spider-Woman spends most of the issue operating at a more street-level power profile than I'm used to, not using her flight powers or doing much in the way of the venom-blasting, making her feel less superhuman than I am used to thinking of her. Of course, given that (in-universe and out), that's kind of the point of this series, it's difficult to complain too hard about such adjustments…
In short, it's a very likeable book, and part of me wishes that #1-4 were a "Spider-Woman: Spider-Verse" limited, and this were actually the first issue of the book, but I suspect that the sales bump as a crossover may have been a shrewd move on Marvel's part. Spider-Woman #5 is a great-looking book that reads well, features excellent dialogue, intriguing plot points, and a really cool new costume, proving that there's more to the character than her tight costume and hindquarters, earning a very impressive 4.5 out of 5 stars overall. I recommend getting in on this one, there's a lot of potential here…[taq_review][signoff predefined="PayPal Donation" icon="icon-cog"][/signoff]

551 Bukit Timah Road
Singapore 269692
11:30am - 09:45pm
I love their tom yum noodles as it tastes really authentic and full bodied! It is spicy so only eat it if you can tolerate spicy food!
The phad thai is yummy too as it's not overly dry and comes with ground peanuts at the side!
Slightly more on the drier side, I felt that the overall dish was not too oily, but there wasn't a very Thai taste to it either. There could have been more Chilli flakes to it. Also, they have 菜圃 in it, I'm not sure whether it is usual? Hmmmm. It lacks the overall phad thai flavour in the entire dish though.
Very good garlic chicken with rice. The taste of garlic is nice and strong with the chicken and it's just the right kind of salty. This is really not bad. I've tried it twice and both times I've found it very tasty on a student budget.
Tucked within a row of shophouses along Bukit Timah stands this non-pretentious coffeeshop serving up a Thai food storm. Favourites such as Tom Yum Soup, Pineapple Rice, Mango Salad and Green Curry, every dish was on point with its flavour and texture. The best part? Everything is at affordable prices despite its prime location!
But waiting for 40 minutes when it isn't even crowded is ridiculous. They've been around for years though. I remember eating here when I was still in Uni 5/6 years ago? #howtonotbefat #burrple #lewu
Nestled behind a row of potted plants at the far corner of Coronation is an unassuming Thai eatery that also serves Western fare.
This place is pretty popular among students who school within the vicinity as it offers affordable students sets (about $6). Fortunately, for people like us, we just need to fork out a bit more (about $9 for a dish) to get a set like this, basil pork rice with fried egg.
The concept is self-service so the cafe doesn't charge GST nor service charge. The interior is nothing fancy but the satisfying food makes up for it.
The food isn't the best but it sure does satisfy our cravings for Thai food!

Ukrainians: A Colonized People
The battle for granting the Orthodox Church in Ukraine autocephaly by the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople, His Holiness Bartholomew, is shrouded by centuries of the Tsarist and Soviet regimes political suppression of Ukrainians and other ethnic groups. Granting autocephaly is not only a canonical act but at a psychological level a declaration of independence. Long overdue, granting the Ukrainian people the right to ecclesial self-government is liberating.
We have grown up with the reality of being invisible. All of us experienced the frustration of being identified as Russians. Through the years, colleagues, professors, co-workers, and others would confuse Ukraine with Russia. The dominant political and sociological narrative continually subverts the existential truth: we are a distinct people who speak a different language.
The fall of the Soviet Union, the Orange Revolution, and the Revolution of Dignity are historical moments which address the ravages of colonialism. The request for autocephaly reinforces the need for Ukrainians to shed light on and fight against enslavement by the Russian master.
The Moscow Patriarchy claims that Ukraine is its territory, i.e. Russian territory. In regards to the existence of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic church, Russian hierarchs have maintained a political stance that this church has no place in Ukraine and that the Vatican recognize their demand that the Ukrainian GGC surrender territory to the Russians. If the Pope wants to visit Russia, he must recognize that the UGCC is an obstacle that must be resolved before good relations can be established.
Let's not forget that Putin has stated that Ukraine does not exist and its government was the result of political sabotage by the United States. The world knows that Putin wants to aggressively reclaim all former territory and rebuild the Soviet Union; the Russian Empire. He represses, murders, and eliminates all opponents. Those who do not recognize this truth are blinded by propaganda and supportive of evil.
In order to understand this situation, it is important to revisit the philosophical works of Hegel. Hegel identified and wrote about the master/slave dialectic. He brilliantly pointed out the relation of power between master and slave. Freedom demands mutual recognition. My needs and desires can only be satisfied through mutual recognition in a world in which freedom exists. The master demands recognition from the slave who exists to work, to produce. Slaves are cogs in the wheels of industry. The master does not recognize the slave as anything else. What follows is an excerpt from my dissertation that illustrates the master/slave dyad in the writings of Mykola Hohol (Nikolai Gogol).
Nikolai Gogol and the colonized soul.
There were several figures of Ukrainian origin, such as Teofan Prokopovich, Victor Kochubei, and Oleksander Bezborodko, who moved to St. Petersburg and served the imperial court for the purposes of advising the Tsar on a variety of matters including the integration of the Church and the maintenance of tight control of colonialized Ukrainian lands (Saunders, 1985). However, in terms of bridging the cultural vacuum noted above it was Nikolai Gogol's contribution to the literary imagination which warrants separate attention. This contribution to Russian culture offered images of Ukrainian folklore and life in the countryside which were lacking in the imagination of the aristocratic elite. At the same time, Gogol's works can be construed as a satirical critique of imperial hegemony.
An ethnic Ukrainian, Gogol moved to St. Petersburg in the 1830s. He described his new city of residence as something akin to a European colony in North America; its population composed primarily of foreigners and not native Russians (Etkind, 2011). Gogol's keen eye to the colonialist social realities of the empire reflected his own sense of dual culture. He wrote to a colleague that he was unsure "whether his soul was Ukrainian or Russian" (Saunders, 1985, p. 166). This sense of dual identity offered his readers a plethora of images which captured the polarities of life in the Russian empire. For example, in his story of a Tsarist official who loses his nose, this body part becomes a metaphor for being an imperial functionary whose career dreams are thwarted. Without the nose, everything that is perceived as required by the whole in the relationship of empire and colony, i.e. power, title, women, and money, becomes unattainable. Gogol captures Homi Bhabha's (1994) description of colonial discourse as "a splitting of hybridity that is less than one and double" (p. 166). The imperial subject is forced to deny indigenous culture, religiosity, language, and discourse (feelings less than whole), and becomes a mirror double of the Master.
One of Gogol's most jarring literary insights into the relationship of the empire, its bureaucratic functionaries, and its vast population of indentured serfs is the metaphor of "dead souls." Situated on the Ukrainian territory of Kherson, the satirical comedy Dead Souls (1842/2008) portrays the colonized as nothing more than taxable property. The protagonist, Chichikov, sets out to con the local authorities and landowners by purchasing their dead to relieve them of a tax burden which they were still obliged to pay. His true motive is to amass many serfs, albeit dead, with the intent of using them as collateral to take out a loan and retire as a rich man.
The economic speculation in "dead souls" is one of the most horrifying images of the imperial/colonialist project. In the context of both Russian and Ukrainian linguistic signifiers, the word "soul,'' (dusha), is a term which predates the notion of a citizen. Any census taken during this time would have counted persons as "souls;" understood as living persons living within the territory of a village, town, or city. The oxymoron "dead souls" not only presents the readers of Gogol's novel with his keen ability to satirize the corrupt financial practices of his day but with the image of imperial subjects lacking human representation. The indentured serf, the enslaved soul, is just another commodity of economic trade. Whether it was oil, furs, timber, or land (Etkind, 2011), the well-being and efficiency of the Russian imperial economy may have included the sale and purchase of the dead.
Frantz Fanon (1963/2004) framed the moral and ethical disregard for the colonized as "Manichean" and "totalitarian." "Sometimes this Manichaeanism reached its logical conclusion and dehumanizes the colonized subject. In plain talk, he is reduced to the state of an animal" (p. 7). The Russian colonialist discourse was not exempt from disregarding the humanity of the peoples it colonized, whether they were animals without souls or "dead souls." Ukrainian, Lithuanian, Swede, Jew (arrested and exiled during expansionist battles and wars), Kalmyk, Aleut, Chuckchi, Koryak (some of a large number of colonized indigenous tribes), all were subject to ethnic, religious, and/or racial discrimination. All of them were, and still are, regarded as "Other." Perhaps there is a spectrum in colonial narratives of ethnic, religious, and racial "Others," in which persons regarded as "white" and "Christian" were more readily Russified and assimilated into the Russian Orthodox faith than those considered non-white and non-Christian. But, as notable in Western European colonialist histories, the Church colluded with the State in unleashing grave harm and trauma upon the indigenous soul (Gambini, 2000).
Ukrainians are a colonized people. The Russian Orthodox Church continues this heinous politics. Autocephaly opens the door to self-reflection, the rejection of our own psychic enslavement, and the ability to support other enslaved peoples.

Part 2: New York Times Fake News and Cover Up of Ukrainian Genocide—Fraud of the Century
Through all the angst over fake news, fraudulent journalists, and media hyperbole, the American republic will survive. In the end, fake news peddlers will only damage their own reputations and bring doubt on their reporting. Fortunately, our freedom isn't dependent on the musings of the White House press corps. It hinges on the Constitution and the liberty it was created to protect.
Some glamorize the era in which a few television companies and big newspapers became media gatekeepers, similar to the model that currently exists in France. This nostalgia for "more responsible" journalism ignores the fact that some of the most egregious fake news blunders were perpetrated by an unchecked centralized press. Perhaps the worst offense of all came from The New…

The Weeknd is up to something. It's been two years since he dropped his last studio album Starboy….
in 2016, but the Toronto singer has been sharing cryptic Instagram messages that hint at a new album coming soon.
Tuesday afternoon, he shared a screenshot of a text conversation with La Mar Taylor—his high school friend turned creative director—highlighting the message: "Should we drop Friday? I'm indifferent to be honest."
Of course, a text conversation with a creative director leaves things pretty open-ended. Abel could be talking about a new album. Or he could be discussing merchandise, tour promotions, album artwork, a music video, a new song or a number of other possibilities.
There is reason to believe he's referring to a new album, though. Abel has been sharing updates from the studio for months, and just last week, he uploaded a series of short video clips that announced the project was in its mastering phase.
He was also recently spotted showing off his hoverboard skills in Los Angeles on the set of what appeared to be a new music video.
Whatever he's cooking up, he has people excited—especially Travis Scott. In early March, Scott apparently got an early listen to the project and told fans, "It's like when I first heard him for the first time." Looks like we might finally get a taste of our own on Friday.

The woman, who I barely know, was bringing me a quilt top! Not just any quilt top, a stunning old top with hand pieced baskets and prairie points around the edges.
I'm not real clear about how the quilt came into my hands -- someone her husband knows is in failing health and getting rid of things and she thought I might want it. I did ask her if she thought she should offer it to my friend (her neighbor)first, but she told me "She only likes her own quilts."
My friend did not agree. But she was too nice to take my new treasure away from me, even after I offered to flip her for it.
It looks like the border was added later -- that yellow and green fabric is much sturdier than the fabric in the blocks, and it's machine pieced while the blocks look mostly hand pieced. There's also a length of yellow backing that was with the top and has been seamed for the backing, but it doesn't match either of the other yellows.
All of the flowers have the exact same layout, and I've got a hunch those prints are feed sack, but I don't know enough about it to be sure.
Anyone know the name of this block?

what a fabulous gift! i've never seen that exact pattern before, it is wonderful. are those prairie points around the edge?
- Amanda said...
Oh my! What a lucky day you had! You might search online for a used copy of Clues in the Calico. The book gives lots of great tips on identifying old quilts and fabrics.
- Vivian said...
Thanks for re-posting this at Val's: What a lucky opportunity to get this quilt!! I'm going to have to look through your blog -- is there more to the story? Did you finish the quilt? Did you and your friend later negotiate for joint custody? I know I would have wanted to after this was quilted because I'm sure it's even more beautiful finished!
Don't recognize that block but it looks like it might have been one of those newspaper patterns like Kansas City Star or that ilk.

Help available to meet health insurance deadline
Wes Luckey and Carol Moser
Mid-Columbia Voices
Most Americans understand the need for health insurance and desire to have coverage. After all, health care in this country is very expensive. A routine inpatient surgical procedure can cost as much as a new car. But the high cost of health care coverage, and the fact that having health insurance has been optional, have left many people uninsured. Millions are not offered health coverage through a job, and eligibility gaps for public insurance coverage have left millions more without an affordable option.
One of the main goals of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is to assist almost 32 million Americans gain access to quality, affordable health insurance. The ACA expands the affordability, quality and availability of private and public insurance through a variety of means, including premium subsidies, online insurance exchanges, the expansion of Medicaid, In-Person Assister programs and much more.
The ACA isn't meant to regulate your health care. It's meant to regulate health insurance and some of the worst practices of the health care industry.
About 40,000 thousand residents of Benton and Franklin counties lack health insurance. Franklin County has the second highest percentage of uninsured of any county in Washington.
And access to adequate health insurance has been shown to be one of the most significant factors to improving health outcomes for people. Lack of health insurance is tied to lower quality of life; increased sickness, injury and death; and higher financial burdens. Medical bills cause more bankruptcies than any other debts. More than 2 million Americans claim bankruptcy each year because of unpaid medical bills.
Contrast this with Massachusetts. After Gov. Mitt Romney's 2006 implementation of health care reform in that state, residents there experienced an improvement to their credit scores, a reduction in their debt and even a 20 percent reduction in the number of personal bankruptcies, a new study finds. This could bode well for the ACA's affect on the financial well-being of American households.
In our state, almost 1 million residents were uninsured in 2011 -- about 1 in every 7 people, and another 1.2 million people were underinsured (facing high out-of-pocket costs).
Uncompensated care ballooned to nearly $1 billion per year, adding costs of more than $1,000 annually for each insured family. The majority of this uncompensated care came from people seeking health care in an emergency department setting.
Such care is not only expensive, it is also sub-optimal given the types of health conditions we face today. Increasingly, people are experiencing more chronic diseases, such diabetes or heart disease.
These conditions require that health care be delivered in a more coordinated way. The emergency room will not provide the ongoing insulin needs of a young boy with diabetes, nor will it cover the ongoing chemotherapy required of a woman who has breast cancer.
And it will not provide routine preventive care and wellness and counseling services in a way that can prevent disease from happening in the first place. Getting such care is just not feasible without some sort of health coverage.
Since October of last year, more than 760,000 residents have enrolled in the newly formed exchange here in Washington.
Many have gone online, using the Washington Healthplanfinder web portal, to enroll in Washington Apple Health (Medicaid) or in a Qualified Health Plan offered bys a private insurance company. In Benton and Franklin counties, more than 7,800 residents have enrolled in Washington Apple Health alone.
While Washington Apple Health can be applied for throughout the year, the deadline for enrollment onto the Exchange for a qualified health plan is today.
There are several locations throughout Benton, Franklin and Walla Walla counties at which to receive in-person assistance.
You can also enroll online at www.wahealthplanfinder.org. For a list of places for in-person assistance, call Community Action Connections at 545-4042.
-- Carol Moser is the executive director of the Benton-Franklin Community Health Alliance. Wes Luckey is director the state Health Benefit Exchange Navigator In-Person Assister Program for Benton, Franklin and Walla Walla counties.

Should I Sue After An Injury?
Being a victim of a wrongfully inflicted injury you naturally expect to be compensated for the inconvenience and pain inflicted upon you. Usually, the wrongdoer is expected to pay for damages that resulted from your injury, including: medical expenses, wages that you could have earned had the injury not happened, property damage, and your pain and suffering. Punitive damages can also be awarded if a person acted maliciously toward you or in an intentional disregard of your rights. This is to reinforce to the guilty party the seriousness of their actions, and serves as a warning for any future transgressions. However, the fact that you are the victim does not necessarily mean that you should sue for damages. Nobody is discounting the fact that you were injured or inconvenienced, but the decision to file a lawsuit is something you need to seriously think about.
It is important to note that there are multiple factors to consider when deciding whether or not to sue. Things like the level of fault of the wrongdoer, the severity of your injury, and your own liability to what happened all have to be taken into account. And another extremely important point to consider is the ability of the wrongdoer to pay for the damages. This is where insurance plays a huge part. If the guilty party is of limited means and does not have insurance for damages resulting from negligence, a lawsuit might just prove to be fruitless. Also, be aware that insurance typically does not cover intentional torts and therefore might not be worth pursuing. However, some intentional-looking damages are sometimes actually a cause of negligence.
For instance, you may be the victim of a practical joke that misfires and injures you. Although the practical joke was intentional, the injury was not, so, your injury can still be covered by liability insurance, assuming the other party has some. If you are unsure whether a lawsuit is what is best for you and your situation, you should consult a professional. Our personal injury lawyers at Dallas Horton and Associates will look over the details of your potential case. Research is always what counts when in a serious situation. Knowing whether you should sue, and hiring a reputable injury lawyer, are just two important things to consider. Contact our office today at 702-380-3100.

A bullish engulfing daily candlestick emerged off price level of 1.2500 one month ago. A resulting bullish movement towards 1.2850 was contained within the depicted channel.
The price zone of 1.2880-1.2900 ( corresponding to the upper limit of the movement channel ) was targeted. However, bearish pressure was applied earlier around 1.2800-1.2840 where the depicted head and shoulders reversal pattern was initiated.
A bearish breakout off the bullish channel took place shortly after, thus confirming a Flag continuation pattern. Initial daily target level was located around 1.2490.
Daily fixation below 1.2490-1.2500 (the origin of the previous bullish swing expressed one month ago) theoretically extends the bearish targets towards price level of 1.2200 (projection target of the bearish flag pattern). However, signs of indecision and hesitance is manifested on the daily chart.
The pair has been moving within narrow range of consolidation. Friday's candlestick ended up with daily closure above 1.2500.
Since then, the EUR/USD pair has been moving above this price level with some bullish tendency being expressed in the market.
As depicted on the chart, the EUR/USD pair has been respecting the limits of the current bearish channel until November 14.
Last week, the EUR/USD pair tested price level of 1.2500 few times as the bears have failed to apply enough bearish momentum.
Instead, few more ascending bottoms around 1.2400 and 1.2430 were established. This applied bullish pressure on SUPPLY zone located around 1.2500 where the upper limit of the channel is located.
A high probability of bullish reversal exists as long as the bulls keep fixating above 1.2500. Thus, establishing another ascending bottom confirming the ongoing uptrend.
Trade recommendations:
Based on the technical data mentioned above, bullish breakout is now a high-probability scenario.
4H closure above 1.2470 then 1.2500 gives an early confirmation. Projection target would be located around 1.2620.

Last night we witnessed a lovely acoustic gig by Miguel and his guitarist and man at The Curtan, it was so so good. We sang along to most of the songs, saw him struggle his way through City of Angels, started singing another song and so on.
It was a very small venue which meant even little petite me were able to see him!
After the gig we grabbed some drinks in the bar and continued dancing. All of a sudden Miguel walks out, straight towards me and I pretty much grab a hug from him and say "you're amazing!", haha. He stayed around the dance floor for ages talking to everyone and taking pictures. Such a lovely guy! Afterwards me and G grabbed some food in the restaurant and discussed Miguel's game-of-thrones-like bodyguard, starts ups and food.
We attempted to take a few outfit pictures but lighting wasn't on our side, haha! I wore a one shoulder top from H&M, jeans from Asos and my trusty leather jacket from All saints
Whilst G was snapping one of the employees walked by and offered to take a picture, YES I said as we genuinely don't have many of us two.
One of the best Monday's this year :)

European Liberals mourn the loss of Hans-Dietrich Genscher
- Gegevens
- Hans van Baalen, President ALDE Party , vrijdag 01 april 2016
ALDE Party President Hans van Baalen MEP, and with him ALDE, are deeply moved by the passing away of former FDP President and German Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher.
Van Baalen said in a statement: "Hans-Dietrich Genscher and Willy Brandt (SPD) introduced the Ostpolitik which made co-operation with the peoples of Central and Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union possible and slowly made openings in the Iron Curtain. Eloquently said in German, 'Der Eiserne Vorhang durchlässiger machen'.
Hans-Dietrich Genscher and Helmut Kohl (CDU) seized the moment to secure German re-unification in a peaceful and inclusive manner. German re-unification went hand in hand with European re-unification. With Hans-Dietrich Genscher as it leader, FDP contributed decisively to the end of the Cold War, which deserves our eternal recognition."
Hans-Dietrich Genscher served as West German Foreign Minister and Vice Chancellor from 1974 until 1992. He was also chairman of FDP from 1974 to 1985.

Volusia Hispanic Chamber exec resigns
DELTONA — Jessica Cavazos has resigned as executive director of the Volusia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.
Carlos Valdarrama, the chamber's board president, on Wednesday confirmed Cavazos' resignation and said Paris Pena will fill in as interim executive director until a permanent successor can be hired.
The Volusia Hispanic Chamber, founded in 2011, has 170 members, according to Valderrama, which is down from the 198 the chamber said it had in June.
Peña, an Orange City businessman, is a former executive director of the West Volusia Regional Chamber of Commerce.
Cavazos, who began her job with the Deltona-based Volusia Hispanic Chamber on June 4, announced her resignation in a letter to chamber board members on Tuesday.
"We're sorry to see Jessica go and wish her the best in her future endeavors," said Valderrama in a news release.
Cavazos, in her email to board members, wrote that she was resigning because "I feel it is time to move onto new opportunities and challenges."
The News-Journal was not able to reach Cavazos for comment.

As a small agency, our conversations with potential clients often go something like this.
"So what exactly do you do?"
"We're a full service agency."
"Right. But what's your specialty?"
This is an increasingly common question as small boutique marketing agencies continue to upend the mega agency model. So if you're thinking about making a change to a smaller agency, you'll want to keep reading.
The marketing landscape is always evolving. Technology trends and consumer behavior are constantly shifting the demands on marketing agencies. Only the strongest survive, and the agencies that make it are the ones willing to shed tradition and adapt to client needs.
That's why boutique agencies are on the rise. Big agencies lack the agility to keep pace with these changes. Many brands have adopted a more hybrid agency model, where they retain the knowledge in-house, but outsource the execution of key services — such as PR, design, media and most recently digital – to small, specialized boutique agencies.
But multiple teams means more red tape. If you thought your big agency was holding back your brand, then try working with several smaller ones. When several different agencies enter the mix, the client is stretched to manage additional people and projects — then correct the course when things go wrong. That can be an excruciating experience.
And brands require efficiency to thrive. The full-service agency, or "one stop shop," is still the best way to drive brand performance. The single agency model delivers the client's message in one voice across all platforms — while sparing them the burden of endless brand policing.
There is a balance between big and boutique. And Kelley & Associates believes that most brands can find their sweet spot working with a small agency that can still manage every part of the marketing process. Strategy, creative, production, PR, media and web. We do it all. Visit our portfolio to see our work.

During Catholic Schools Week last January, current and former students of Presentation B.V.M. School in Cheltenham donated $1 to buy a "Thank a Teacher Apple." Each paper red apple had hand written notes to teachers past and present from their students.
In addition to students giving back to their educators with kind words of gratitude, they are also giving back to the school. All the proceeds from the apples go to the school library.
The fundraiser has been running for several years at the school, and this year it raised $160.

Mamelodi Sundowns remain on the summit of the Absa Premiership log after they pipped a stubborn Amazulu 1-0 in their opening match of the second round of the league campaign in Durban last night.
It was also a good outing for defending champions Orlando Pirates, who beat Black Leopards 1-0 at Orlando stadium in Soweto.
Lebohang Mokoena's 78th-minute goal at Moses Mabhida stadium was enough for Sundowns to collect the three points to bolster their league campaign.
At Orlando Stadium, it was a scrappy win for Pirates, but enough to maintain their unbeaten run at their home venue.
Thulasizwe Mbuyane scored his second league goal to break the deadlock in the seventh minute, following a splendid cross from Ndumiso Mabena.
After the goal, the defending champions went to sleep. They struggled to add to their lead, with strikers Mabena and Benni McCarthy firing wide.
At Lucas Moripe stadium, substitute Kermit Erasmus wasted a golden chance to earn Supersport United maximum points as the Pretoria side played to 1-1 draw against Free State Stars.
Blame it on the jitters after a long break, but the young striker, who has often proved a match-winner, could have done much better when released inside the area.
Defeat would have devastated Stars, who opened the scoring courtesy of Edward Manqele.
But United got back in it when Franklin Cale headed in past Bruce Mtshali in the 38th minute.
Moroka Swallows returned from the break with a spirited 3-2 win against Santos at Dobsonville stadium .
Goals from David Mathebula, a penalty from veteran Siyabonga Nomvethe and a bicycle kick from Bennet Chenene ensured victory for the Dube Birds.
Santos's goals were scored by Erwin Isaacs and Vuyisile Wana.
Bloemfontein Celtic started the second round of the campaign positively by beating Lamontville Golden Arrows 3-2 in a closely contested match at Botshabelo stadium in the Free State.
Celtic's goals came from Clifford Mulenga in the first stanza, while Lennox Bacela and Tladi Madubanya scored a goal each in the second half. Arrows' goals were netted by Katlego Mashego in the first segment and Musa Bilankulu in the second half.
Kaizer Chiefs snatched a goal late in the game to earn a 1-1 draw against Jomo Cosmos at Nelson Mandela Bay stadium in Port Elizabeth.
Chiefs dominated the first half but Cosmos broke the deadlock in the 74th minute. Substitute Lehlohonolo Majoro equalised in the 82nd minute.
A determined Ajax Cape Town beat Platinum Stars 3-2 in an exciting match at Cape Town sadium. Stars took the lead in the 20th minute through Sibusiso Msomi.
Ajax were reduced to 10 when their defender, Paul Rusike, was sent off by referee Victor Gomes for dissent.
Stars took advantage of the numerical advantage when they scored the second goal in the 67th minute through Thuso Phala.
But the home side reacted sharply when they struck three goals through Lebogang Manyama – who scored from the penalty spot in the 88th minute after Ntsikelelo Nyauza brought down Khama Billiat and the latter was given his marching orders – Matthew Booth and Cecil Lolo.
At Milpark, Bidvest Wits and Maritzburg United shared the spoils after they played to a 0-0 draw.
