Mali is a country so impoverished it is ranked 160th out of 169th in the United Nations Human Development Index. Life expectancy here is just 49.
Mali depends on cotton for its survival. Half of its export revenues come from cotton – it is the second-largest producer in Africa after Egypt – and it is estimated that more than 3.2 million Malians, 40% of the country's rural population, depend on the crop for their livelihoods.
Despite the fact that cotton prices are running at a 15-year high after crops in China and Pakistan were hit by floods earlier this year they are victims of an iniquitous global trading system. In the United States, the scale of government support to 25,000 cotton farmers has thrown the international trading system out of kilter. The political lobby for cotton is one of the strongest in US agriculture. in 2008/2009, cotton producers were awarded $3.1bn (£1.9bn) in subsidies, which, astonishingly, exceeded the market price by around 30%. The EU and China award its farmers similar grants, albeit on a lesser scale.The result has been overproduction, the rise of fast, disposable fashion and the artificial lowering of world cotton prices. The consequences are felt most deleteriously by the poorest farmers at the end of the supply chain. The price of west African cotton has fallen every year since 2003 and despite the recent spike in prices, there has been a long-term decline in real terms since the 1950s.
The American economy does not rely on cotton to anything like the same extent. In Mali, cotton is such a valuable commodity it is known as "white gold". According to Vince Cable, the UK business secretary, the elimination of global subsidies would raise cotton farmers' incomes in sub-Saharan Africa by 30%.

This documentary follows the lives of Srey Leak, Cheata and Mey Nea, three young sex-workers in the capital. Working in a huge up-market karaoke parlor by night or streetwalking, and living in a decrepit room in a slum the rest of the time, it portrays a life that very few would choose or wish to lead.
All three entered the business when they sold their virginities off to rich local men. The belief that sleeping with virgins has benefits to health and fortune is endemic in much of Asia and other parts of the world and for a few hundred dollars a girl from a desperate enough family will spend a few days with a man. Unfortunately this will result in her being seen as tainted and unsuitable for marriage by most of society.
Cheata's father had deserted her family a few years before. Her mother subsequently became crippled and she had been forced to work as a scavenger and beggar. She later got married and had a son, but then her mother died and her mother-in-law persuaded to her husband to leave her and take her son with her.
Mey Nea was a young single whose mother had also become sick. She says that she has no regrets about selling her virginity to pay for her mother's medical care, even though she died not long after anyway. Unable to afford to take care of her son, he now lives with an aunt.
Srey Leak had similarly been sold off to the highest bidder by her mother who suffered from cancer and diabetes. Her mother makes an appearance a few times during the film with her clammy hand held out and generally complaining to her daughter that the money she sends isn't enough and pleading with her to send her tips daily.
This seems to be a common theme in the film. Although the girls don't actually take home much money, they seem to have a constant stream of ingrate relatives looking for handouts from them. The girls seem to live mostly on tips, and much of what they earn goes to repay interest on loans to the local money lender.
Cheata's brother keeps sending her letters from prison complaining of hunger, and at one stage she reads out the letter which details all his requirements. There is a comical moment when the last item on his list is "Gold Roast Coffee," and the girls laugh at how they have never even drunk it themselves, and they aren't even in prison!
There are parts shot undercover at the rather fancy five-storey karaoke parlor, so we get to see what work is like for them. There is a "goldfish bowl" room the girls sit in behind glass till chosen by customers, and we see the activity in the rooms with drunken punters groping the distressed-looking workers.
The girls all met while working in the parlor arguing over tips but by now are close friends, looking out for each other when in need. At one stage one becomes pregnant, and we see her going for a grubby-looking lakeside abortion. They are visited at home by an NGO who tests them for AIDs, and we see their reactions on getting the results later.
All in all it's an eye-opening look at the lives of these young women, who have had their fair share of tragedy and heartbreak considering they are only sixteen and seventeen years old. Depressing at times but with its humorous moments, I'd recommend it if even just as a window into the lives and struggles that many here have with poverty.

Importance Of Regular Facials For Blemishes
Cleanses the skin
The first and foremost step is cleansing. In a facial treatment, your face is thoroughly cleansed to removes dirt and other impurities. This process also includes steam to open the pores for deep cleansing. In this way you can prevent acne.
Promotes blood circulation
Studies say that massaging improves blood circulation in the body. The same applies to your face too. With improved blood circulation, the cells of the skin get ample oxygen and nutrients carried along with the blood. This results in a healthy glowing skin.
Detoxifies the skin
Acne is caused due to accumulated oil, dirt and waste on the skin. Facials will not only cleanse the skin to get rid of the dirt, but will also detoxify using herbal extracts, antioxidant-rich creams, sea salt, and more. This will help you reduce the appearance of blemishes, and make the face look fresh and radiant.
Treats acne and blemishes effectively
Acne blemishes are stubborn and getting rid of them can be a real challenge. However, regular facial treatments that use products containing salicylic acid will be extremely effective. Studies have shown that salicylic acid peels work wonders in reducing acne scars.
Removes whiteheads and blackheads
One of the major triggers of acne is whiteheads and blackheads. They not only clog pores, but also make the skin look dull. The process of extraction during a facial treatment helps in eliminating these triggers. An extraction tool is used to remove blackheads and whiteheads without hurting the skin.
During the process of exfoliation, the dead skin cells from the surface of the skin are gently removed using a scrub. If not removed in time, these dead cells accumulate and make the skin rough and dry. A facial involves using chemical peels for thoroughly cleaning the surface of the skin, thus preventing acne and reducing blemishes.

Have you ever wondered why some people who have never worked out or consciously exercised a day in their lives, but still remain as healthy as ever?
They might be doing the most ancient exercise man has ever had the privilege to enjoy. Sex, that is. Through time, sex has always been dubbed as the best exercise and best beauty regimen ever, and here are a few reasons why:
1. Engaging in sex burns a lot of calories. On the average, a person can burn about 300 calories in thirty minutes of jogging while the act of coitus itself can burn off 100 calories plus more if you engage in long make out sessions. Kissing alone can burn off up to 5 calories/minute, and add another 25 calories for every 15 minutes of foreplay.
2. Having sex regularly promotes a healthy heart. Literally and figuratively. Sex 3 times a week may reduce the risk of stroke and heart attack especially among the older folks. According to a study done by researchers in the UK, older men who engage in sex were less associated with stroke and heart conditions.
Sex, you gain more intimacy and a loving connection with your partner. It does not only raise your self-esteem, but it also strengthens your sense of well-being. That is safe to say for two individuals in a monogamous relationship. Of course, it's something else when an individual sleeps around with multiple partners.
3 . The act of sex develops and strengthens the immune system. Sex once a week will increase immunoglobulin, the antibodies that help the the body ward off all sorts and viruses and diseases, by 30%. Scientists from a university in Pennsylvania took samples of saliva which contains immunoglobulin from 112 students. Those who reported to have had sex at least once a week had higher levels of antibodies compared to those who reported to practice abstinence.
4. Sex is a natural stress and pain reliever. A study done by researchers in Scotland followed 24 women and 22 men who have a kept records of their sexual activities. They were subjected to stressful situations like public speaking and verbal arithmetic, and noted their blood pressure after. Those who engage in sex regularly had better responses to stress than those who engaged in other sexual behaviors or abstained.
During intercourse, the body produces endorphins which helps rid of the discomfort and oxytocin, known to be the love hormone. You've heard about how men about their partners being less cranky after sex? That's the hormones in their partners kicking in.
5. The act of sex helps prevent cancer. Women who do not have sex have three times the risk than those having regular sex to acquire breast cancer. A study reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association also reported that frequent ejaculations in men were linked to lower risk of prostate cancer.
6. Engaging in sex is a natural anti-aging agent. According to several studies made, sex indeed makes you bloom and look younger than your real age. Regular sex promotes the release of hormones, including testosterone and estrogen, which can keep the body looking young and vital; estrogen has also been shown to promote soft skin and shiny hair.
Unlike other exercises, sex is not restrictive and it allows you to progress on your own pace. You can do it at any time of the day and there's no need for special equipments and locations.
Of course, all these benefits are all best achieved, but not necessarily to some, if you have found the right partner. You don't have to be in a monogamous relationship but being in one abandons all worries of unprotected sex (like the risk of unwanted pregnancies and acquiring sexually transmitted infections), and you get to enjoy the act itself .

The problem to solve
Sitecore has some tools for performance profiling that we can use out-of-the-box, like /sitecore/admin/stats.aspx or the Debug mode in the Page Editor. But, in my opinion, they're useful when you already know you have a problem, and even then, they're not really straight-forward to use. But how can we detect in real-time that we have a performance problem? I suggest using MiniProfiler.
The tool that will solve it
MiniProfiler is a light-weight plugin for ASP.NET applications that add live profiling capabilities to our application. Apart from the basic plugin (ASP.Net WebForms), there are also several extensions for MVC, EF, Ruby, Node.js, etc.
MiniProfiler will add an unobtrusive layer on the top left side of the website with the time taken to render it. Then we can open it to see the whole breakdown of steps.
This way we can easily see if a concrete page is taking more time than necessary, and then try to dig deeper in the components that conform that page, using Sitecore profiling or our own methods. Please refer to MiniProfiler documentation at http://miniprofiler.com/ or check the sample project at GitHub (https://github.com/MiniProfiler/dotnet/tree/master/Sample.WebForms) to see how you can wrap your own profiled sections in your code, and see them at the output layer.
How to install MiniProfiler in Sitecore
As MiniProfiler is deployed through Nuget, it seems that getting it up and running in Sitecore should be something easy. But there are a couple of things to do before this comes true.
Installing MiniProfiler plugin
The first step is to get the MiniProfiler package to our website. To do so, we will open the "Package Manager Console" in Visual Studio and select our Website project in the "Default project" dropdown.
We can use MiniProfiler capabilities in other projects that are part of the solution (data layer, services, etc.), where it will probably make more sense than in the top layer website. Then we will need to install the package in those projects as well.
In this case we're installing the basic package for WebForms, as this has been tested against a Sitecore 6.6 installation. We can use the specific packages for MVC if needed.
MiniProfiler setup
We need to add three small changes to our website to have MiniProfiler running:
We will copy the configuration from the sample website: https://github.com/MiniProfiler/dotnet/blob/master/Sample.WebForms/Global.asax.cs
I suggest modifying the method void InitProfilerSettings() and including these lines:
// Sitecore specific URLs
So we avoid messing up with static files and Sitecore specific urls timing.
1. Make sure the <modules> section looks like this:
<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true">
2. Edit the "IgnoreUrlPrefixes" setting, and add the following url, /mini-profiler-resources. It should look like:
<setting name="IgnoreUrlPrefixes" value="/mini-profiler-resources|/sitecore/default.aspx|/trace.axd|..." />
Default layout
Finally, we must add the frontend resources (CSS/JS) that render the layer in the site. To do so, we have to add the following line to our main layout, at the end, just before the </body> tag:
<%= StackExchange.Profiling.MiniProfiler.RenderIncludes(useExistingjQuery:false) %>
This is the WebForms syntax. Please refer to the documentation if you're using MVC.
MiniProfiler is a widely recommended way to include basic profiling in our website projects, and it's really helpful to have your code under control.
The main trick to get it working with Sitecore was adding the MiniProfiler url to the ignored Urls by Sitecore, so Sitecore doesn't think it's an item path and return a 404 error.
This has been tested with Sitecore 6.6, but it will probably work as well with newer versions.

Cookies are among the least understood aspects of computer technology.
Depending on who you listen to, cookies may have been explained as evil and intrusive spying mechanisms (actually that is the NSA) tracking your every move on the net or cookies may have been described as a harmless way to make your Internet experience easier. I hope this week's column will help to clear up any confusion and possibly ease concerns.
The reason so many people are wondering lately about cookies is because new messages keep popping up while surfing the web. Web sites often display "We use cookies for analytics, performance, security, advertising and social media. You consent to our cookies if you continue to use our Web site." That message is there to now comply with European Union regulations and legal requirements of other jurisdictions. Most Web sites are using cookies today the same way they have been doing it for a decade; the only change is that the legal disclaimer is now required.
So what is a cookie? It is a small text-only file containing information used by the Web site you visited. That includes the site name and unique user ID and possibly other information such as how long you spent on each page on the site, what links you clicked, language preferences, lists of what is in your "shopping cart," etc. It is important to note that everything just mentioned is information you voluntarily put there either by letting your Web browser do it for you or by you typing in information on the Web site. There is simply no way a cookie can contain any of your personal information such as name, address, passwords or credit card numbers unless you were the one who typed it in.
So why is there so much paranoia about cookies? The answer has to do with the fact that using cookies is inherently sneaky. Internet users simply did not understand their own computer was being used to store information which could then be used to build a picture of their browsing habits.
Third-party cookies are created on your computer by a Web site other than the one you are currently viewing. For example, you might not be a Facebook user, never visit facebook.com, and do not want anything to do with Facebook; but there is a Facebook button on other Web sites you do want to visit. That Facebook button on your favorite Web site can allow Facebook to set a cookie to track your every move even if you never go anywhere near facebook.com. And Facebook is far from the only company attempting to track your online activities and sell that information to advertisers.
Your Web browser has some control over what cookies are allowed into your computer. You may disable the third-party cookies while permitting other cookies. It is also possible to completely disable cookies, but then be prepared to receive the "This Web site requires you to permit cookies" message every time you try to visit a web site.

Welcome! Nuestra Casa Es Su Casa ...Our house is your house
Tuesday, May 13, 2008
Food questions! :)
Tulip asked: Would love to know about any recipes you use with the beans, lentils, etc.
Answers: Most of what we eat is fairly simple and made from scratch. Our rule of thumb for most meals is that they are easy, economical, and can be made relatively quickly (since we have to make so much of what we make). Of course, we also have to factor in that we have to be able to get the ingredients needed here too! :)
I plan meals that are not complicated because I enjoy teaching my girls how to cook and the more they are able to do on their own, the happier they are (because they love to say, "Daddy, I made 'so and so' all by myself!") and the more time I have to attend to other things.
As our family has grown and the appetites of the chitlins have grown as well, finding meals that I can make in large quantities is important! Our children have grown up eating simply. They are not picky eaters...they usually come to the table quite hungry and eager to see if mommy's made enough for a second helping :)
With making so much food each day, we try to keep our meals to things that can be prepared in 30 min. or less. For example, eggs are inexpensive and readily available here. Though we all have different ways we like our eggs cooked, generally, we eat them scrambled because that is the fastest way to cook them. Elijah, for his birthday (we let each child plan the menu for his/her special day), requested cheese omlets for breakfast...it took a while to make that many omlets, but as it was a special occasion, we planned for the extra cooking time :)
As far as sharing favorite recipes, I thought maybe what I would do is just every so often write a recipe or two down (and maybe include a picture) of what we eat that day. I will label the posts "recipes" so they can easily be found. I'll probably start this tomorrow. :)
As far as tips for cutting down grocery bills, this is what I do here:
*Cook from scratch
*A little bit of meat goes a long way; I shred the meat very fine, add it to the other ingredients, and you don't have to use much at all and nobody notices :)
*Don't let your children be picky!! Start them from the beginning eating simply. If they don't eat what is served, don't let them eat until the following meal. Be careful about snacking in between meals. We teach our children that we need to eat whatever is served to us with asking God to bless the food and thanking Him for it. Living here, it is so very important that we never "turn up our noses" at somebody's hospitatlity and service...and we've been served some very interesting things. :) Have your children work hard...get their bodies moving!! This makes very hungry tummies! And give them as few choices as possible...I allow them to say if they would like to have spicy salsa or not on their food. And I am merciful to Elijah who gags and has his eyes water up when he eats a raw tomato (though we are working on him there :) ). But I just serve up the plates all the same and everyone sits down and enjoys! :)
*Buy in Bulk
*Limit desserts (this one isn't my favorite :) )
*Drink water (instead of something else)

When you do cook with meat how many pounds do you use for a meal? Right now we use a half pound of meat when we use it for a meal but there are only 6 of us. I feel like I could probably cut it down more and I am working on it. I am looking forward to seeing your meals entries.ReplyDelete
Dawn~ Hi! depending on the meal, I use 1/2 to 1 lb of meat. For example, when making spaghetti, I use only half a pound as it mixes in with the sauce. My hubby loves meat, so that is why I try to include it if possible. He doesn't mind using a little as long as he sees it :)ReplyDelete
When doing a taco/burrito/enchilada type meal, I use closer to a pound and use lots of beans and rice with it.
We don't use tons of beef (cost). Chicken is our main meat and I am almost always boiling chicken legs, deboning them and using the shredded meat in something.
We do a lot of stews too as they aren't expensive and go a long way. We load them with veggies or beans or potatoes and just a bit of meat to flavor the broth :)
just wanted to say thankyou so much for posting this! we have been away on our family vacation so i didnt get to check until today...it was so fun to read everything! thanks for answering my question!ReplyDelete
We always LOVE hearing from you! We enjoy getting to know our readers as well. Feel free to email us or comment here and introduce yourself if you haven't already. Have a wonderful day in the Lord! He is so good and faithful!

It was the successor to [[Kill-E-Crank-E]], built by Robin Herrick of the [[Cold Fusion Team]]. However, after encountering [[Aftershock]] in its Group Battle, it was quickly immobilised and eliminated. After Series 9, the team updated Crank-E with new weapons and armour, but it was not ready to apply for [[Series 10]]. ==Design== {{quote|The new Crank-E is invertible and has two-wheel drive and a 22-kilogram central vertical asymmetric spinner which rotates at 6,000 revolutions per minute with a tip speed of 250 miles per hour.|The ''Robot Wars'' website}} [[File:Crank-e.png|thumb|left|Crank-E's turntable shot]] Built over two months, Crank-E was constructed from high-performance structural steel and wear plate, and runs on a two-wheel drive, which makes the robot [[Invertible Robots|invertible]]. Its weapon was a 22kg vertical asymmetric spinner consisting of four hardened steel bars. The weapon rotated at 6000rpm to deliver a tip speed of 223mph. Its front armour was curved inwards to form a front shield, designed to make the robot 'spinner proof'. Crank-E was decorated with googly eyes. [[File:Crank-E foil.jpg|thumb|The internal foil used by Crank-E]] The insides of Crank-E were lined with aluminium foil tape, to protect the robot from the flame pit. Crank-E's wheels were the same type as use in [[Pussycat]], following on from Kill-E-Crank-E's wheels reusing material from [[Bodyhammer]]. === Etymology === {{quote|The name Crank-E was a step on the evolutionary ladder towards Kill-E-Crank-E, so while the robot design evolved forwards, the name evolved backwards.|Robin Herrick on the etymology of Crank-E}} The name Crank-E is derivative of the robot's predecessor [[Kill-E-Crank-E]], which was in turn inspired by the Scottish Highland town of Killiecrankie, where a famous battle took place in 1689, also referencing the "crank" shape of the original machine which remained loosely intact with Crank-E. Robin Herrick notes that as Crank-E evolved the design of Kill-E-Crank-E forwards, he wished to 'evolve the name backwards' by shortening Kill-E-Crank-E to just Crank-E, a conscious move to differentiate the two machines. ==Robot History== ===Series 9=== Crank-E competed in [[Robot Wars: Series 9/Heat 1|Heat 1]], facing a new machine from a Grand Finalist team, [[Aftershock]], as well as [[Sabretooth]] and [[Tomahawk|TMHWK]] in their group battle. It was going to face against [[Carbide]], [[Crackers 'n' Smash]] and [[Meggamouse]] in [[Robot Wars: Series 9/Heat 5|Heat 5]] but it was not finished in time and swapped heats with [[Trolley Rage]]. [[File:Aftershock hits crank-e.jpg|thumb|left|Crank-E is tossed up high by Aftershock]] However, when the battle started, Crank-E made a fatal mistake straight away by targeting Aftershock before its spinner had reached high speeds, and with TMHWK blocking its escape route, Aftershock threw Crank-E into the air, causing shards to fly from the machine as it landed directly on its face. This gave Aftershock the chance to launch a barrage of hits, buffeting Crank-E towards [[Shunt]], where the two robots dealt the killer blows, taking Crank-E out of the running straight away. Panels of Crank-E were torn away from the body, and the robot was left dormant after a flip from Shunt. {{quote|Pincered between the two, and Crank-E, very much in trouble.|[[Jonathan Pearce]]}} [[File:Shunt axes crank-e.jpg|thumb|Shunt damages the immobile Crank-E]] Aftershock pushed the immobile Crank-E over the arena spikes, where it was axed by Shunt, held aloft by a spike. There, Crank-E was joined by the beaten TMHWK, and cease was called. Humorously, the arena spike next to Crank-E fell out of its position, but Aftershock and Sabretooth progressed, while Crank-E was eliminated. ==Results== {{Results Top|#421805|Silver|CRANK-E}} {{Show|Series 9}} {{Competition|Series 9 - UK Championship|Round 1}} {{Battle|[[Robot Wars: Series 9/Heat 1|Heat 1, Group Battle]]|[[Aftershock]], [[Sabretooth]], [[Tomahawk|TMHWK]]|Lost}} |} ==Series Record== <gallery type="slideshow"> cranke enter the arena s9.png|Crank-E entering the arena cranke heroshot s9.png|Crank-E enters the arena Crank-e-team.jpg|Crank-E with its team </gallery> {{Series Record|Crank-E|Entered with [[Bodyhammer]]|Entered with [[Bodyhammer]]|Entered with [[Pussycat]]|Entered with [[Pussycat]]|Did not enter|Did not enter|Did not enter|Entered with [[Kill-E-Crank-E]]|'''Heat, Round 1'''}} ''NOTE: This refers to the performance record of Robin Herrick alone'' ==Trivia== [[File:How to build a robot title.png|thumb|Crank-E in How to Build a Robot]] *Crank-E's VT, which would go unused on television, saw Robin and Matthew Herrick, and Isaac Potts, playing musical instruments on the beach<ref>https://www.facebook.com/UKRobotWars/videos/807638249400526/</ref>. *Footage of repairing Crank-E was also used during [[How to Build a Robot]]. ==References== <references/> ==External Links== *[http://www.robotwars.tv/competitors/season-9/week-1/crank-e/ Crank-E on the ''Robot Wars'' website] {{2017 Competitors}} [[Category:UK Series competitors]] [[Category:Robots with heavy rotating blades]] [[Category:Robots from Scotland]] [[Category:Robots which debuted in Series 9]] [[Category:Robots which only fought in Series 9]] [[Category:Invertible Robots]] [[Category:Robots with Ramming Blades]] [[Category:Robots to damage the Arena]] [[Category:Robots from Highland]] [[Category:Robots which lost their only battle]] Loading editor Below are some commonly used wiki markup codes.

Welwyn Garden City set up potential Watford visit after well-deserved win over Ware
PUBLISHED: 10:31 07 December 2017
Welwyn Garden City booked a potential quarter-final clash with Premier League Watford at Herns Lane after a superb 3-0 win over Ware in the Herts Senior Cup.
The Hornets go to Kings Langley on Tuesday in their delayed second-round tie with winners heading to WGC early next month.
Whoever arrives though will not relish the contest.
The Citizens put all the heartbreak and tribulations of their FA Vase exit at the hands of Biggleswade FC three days before, behind them, as they dominated Bostik League North Division Ware.
The Blues are struggling in the bottom four of that division, the level WGC are striving to reach this year and they were outgunned and overpowered by a Clarets team showing five major changes from their Vase defeat.
Manager Adam Fisher rested skipper Danny Payne, Yasin Boodhoo, John McGrandles and Ben Spaul while Josh Bronti missed out with a hamstring injury.
Jon Clements and Jay Rolfe were also given a rest on the bench.
On the plus side, Jon Sexton had his first outing in over two months after a ligament injury, Carl Mensah made his first-team return after almost two years plagured by injury and Reggie Ross was drafted in as makeshift right-back.
They began on the front foot with a Charlie Rome free-kick on two minutes fumbled by Ware's Sam Butler and Mensah's follow-up effort deflected behind for a corner.
And they led on 12 minutes.
From a right-wing corner, Ashley Kersey soared above the home defence and planted a solid header on the Ware crossbar.
When the effort bounced down, Paul Marks, who went on to have an outstanding game, collected but had his legs swept away by a Ware defender and the referee immediately awarded the spot-kick.
Teenage midfielder Rome stepped up and put it away confidently.
Charlie May had to make a sharp save from Nicholas Brown, also from a long distance free-kick and Murat Karagual, put a chance of an equalizer past the near post.
But it was WGC who quickly re-establised dominance and Daniel Bond's powerful pace was clearly troubling the Bostik League side.
He broke clear and should have made it two on 27 minutes, but took it too close to the keeper and Butler made the save.
On the stroke of half-time, the WGC forward was put in again by Kersey's fine pass, but the move had the same outcome as Butler raced off his line to save.
Mensah picked up a yellow card after being put in difficulties by a poor May throw-out at the start of the second-half, but WGC were quickly back on top, as a Rome free-kick kicked up off the turf and Butler only managed to keep it out at full stretch.
At the other end, May timed a run from goal to perfection to block a Karagual effort minutes before the visitors netted a second to make the tie more secure.
Marks broke up a Ware attack for the umpteenth time and played the ball to George Ironton who split the home defence with a fine crossfield ball to Bond.
This this time he lifted it neatly over Butler and into the far corner, his fourth goal in as many games.
He also had the ball in the net eight minutes from time only for an offside flag to rule the effort out.
WGC completed the emphatic win with a second penalty three minutes from time.
Kersey collected and played Clements in and as he attempted to round keeper Butler, the youngster pulled the WGC striker back to earn himself a red card.
Clements took the second spot-kick himself and drove it with pace past Tom Coulton, the replacement keeper, to complete a highly-satisfying win after the previous week's traumas.

In Real Life: Lesson Five
So, I'm back. Did you miss me? Do you wanna kiss me? OK, easy now; it's only a saying. I have received so many e-mails and I love that all of my fans write to me -- even though many of you just write to tell me I stink or question my sexuality. In any case, I am above all that; so, let's get to some really good e-mails. (E-mail me.)
"Tommy" (can ya hear me?) writes:
Hey, Matt. People at school have been talking about you and Big Daddy V; how do you deal with so much fame and popularity? Do you wish that sometimes you could just get away from it all and never have been who you are today? Thanks for your time.
Major Tom, I embrace my position as a role model. Today, many young people have no one to look up to. Sports stars, actors and musicians are constantly in the news for negative behavior.
I tell it like it is. I stay after every show and spend time with young people and tell them they don't have to like school; they just have to try their best. I like to talk with kids, not at them. It makes a difference. I encourage everyone to communicate and be kind to one another.
I truly believe I am in the position that I am for a reason. I don't know what that is; maybe it is as simple as entertaining people. All I know is that I wouldn't trade my spot for the world and, deep down, you wouldn't want me to, either.
"Steven" asks:
People in my school call me names and take the mick out of me because I am different, and this makes me very angry. What should I do?
I've always been different. All of my life, I have been an outcast in one way or another. You have to understand that people are afraid of things that are different. Don't let these kids get you down. I am sure you're a great person with a ton of love and talent -- use that!
Different is beautiful. Look around at people you know. How many are trying to be different? You're blessed; you are different without effort.
Don't pay another second of worry. Do your thing and let them "hate." Trust me, no good will come from worrying.
"Ricky" (don't lose that number) wants to know:
What do you think of video games such as Guitar Hero, or the new Rock Band? How about games that boost the brain, like Brain Age?
Growing up, I played a lot of sports video games. I have always liked the EA sports games, personally.
I remember as a kid, some games I loved to play were: RBI Baseball, Baseball Stars, Tecmo Bowl, Double Dribble, Blades of Steel, Ring King, Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!, Karnov, Contra, Mega Man, NBA Jam, Tag Team Wrestling, Pro Wrestling and all the WWE wrestling games.
I had several systems, including ColecoVision ("Turbo" was awesome) and the original Nintendo along with Sega Genesis, as well. I haven't played Guitar Hero much, but as a guitar player, I imagine it is more fret hand intensive. Again, I'm not too familiar with the game.
Video games do wonders for hand-eye coordination, so there are some benefits. Brain Age and the memory games for Nintendo are great. I think it is important for manufacturers to realize the popularity of video games and create games that are productive.
I remember as a boy, my mother and I would play endless games of chess, Connect Four and Chinese checkers. I'll take those games and that time with my mom over any video game -- EVER.
"Bubba" chimes in with:
So, what kind of TV do you like?
Hey, Big Bubba Rogers (hope you get that reference). I enjoy a lot of television programs and when I have a chance to watch them, I am very happy. I will admit that I love Family Guy, The Simpsons and Robot Chicken. I also enjoy Curb Your Enthusiasm, as well as How I Met Your Mother and Big Bang Theory. Everyone Loves Raymond is written well, as is Scrubs. I enjoy shows such as CSI and Monk, as well. I'm not big into Law & Order, which is sad because it seems to be on every channel at every hour!!! And, anything on VH1 Classic is always a plus.
I watch a ton of political shows such as Hannity & Colmes and Meet the Press. And of course, all kidding aside, I truly love WWE programming -- how can you not?!
"Alex" (Lifeson? Van Halen?) wants to know my thoughts on:
What do you think about today's media? Some people say that it's fair; others say that it is all lies to make us scared and other people have mixed feelings. I was just wondering what your opinion about the media would be. Thanks so much for reading.
Great question, Alex. Most media is biased; plain and simple. Countless times, liberal agendas have been exposed. Whether it be CBS and Dan Rather fabricating stories about the Iraq war before the 2004 election to attempt to push George Bush out of Office, or CNN for blatant perjury, the media is riddled with holes, to say the least.
I used to encourage my students to seek alternative forms of news, variant publications and Internet sites which can offer a more direct approach -- as can international news.
The U.S. media is so slanted; it is ridiculous. Most media outlets are liberal democrat and will slant the news to their favor. This isn't to say that many right-wing Republican stations don't do the same, but they are more inclined to put out both sides, as opposed to only their own.
Seek the truth on your own and don't take anything for face value when it comes to the news.
"Jamie's" (Cryin') shows beauty and brains with this one:
Good evening, Matt. My question is with the Presidential election coming up, who are you backing? Whom do you see as the person who can lead us as a nation? Have a safe and blessed holiday. P.S. You are by far my favorite wrestler and I hope you return to the ring soon. You are too talented to stand behind others.
As most people know, I am a very politics-oriented young man. For a long time, I backed conservative Republicans due to their views on family values and national defense. I strongly believe that the concept of family, gender roles and social responsibility has been lost in this nation as a result of the direction the 1960s took its generation.
We used to live in a time when people understood the importance of family and the responsibility of raising our children to be accountable -- both socially and morally. Look around today. The "family" as we once knew it is almost extinct. Liberal-minded approaches to society and government are directly to blame.
Everyone screams how they don't like Bush, but can they tell you why? No. They only quote the news or their parents. Americans don't have their own opinions anymore. We are so afraid of offending someone that we have sacrificed our own mind -- just for the sake of political correctness.
Lately, I have been exposed more and more to the libertarian party and really find their position on government, domestic economy and other issues very interesting and current. You should check them out because there are issues that will directly affect us in the coming years. Health care and national debt are two looming issues -- do you hear any viable plans for these issues?
Do you realize that we still occupy bases in Japan and Germany that we occupied more than 60 years ago? Everyone is so concerned with Iraq; what about America here at home?
With that all said, as of now, I like Fred Thompson and Mitt Romney on the Republican side and Joe Biden on the Democratic side.
The last few debates on the Democratic side have focused only on Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. But, if you listen to Biden's message, he is a good candidate. Hillary Clinton doesn't stand a chance. She has been exposed as a liar and an economic cheat countless times, but you will be hard-pressed to find it in today's liberal media. Search her Whitewater dealings in 1998 and you will see. She is not experienced enough to be a leader -- especially in these times. She is a true politician who caters to special interest groups and has had numerous shady dealings. She is worse than her husband! He was impeached -- does anyone recall that?!
One candidate to really take notice of is Ron Paul. Paul has a great campaign, great economic vision and is really gaining steam. Let's hope he doesn't go the route of Howard Dean's steam in 2004 and fizzle out before the election. I encourage you to research him.
Search out the candidates for yourself. Don't just listen to me, the news, your teachers or your parents. Tell me who you like and why.
"Jade" boogies in with:
Hey, Striker. What's up ? Do you like dancing? If yes, what type?
I will admit -- and any girlfriend I have ever had will tell you -- I am a terrible dancer. I always feel so stupid doing something like dancing -- which is crazy because when I have a guitar in my hands, I move around the floor like James Brown. I guess I have to have an instrument on my person in order to feel the music.
I dance in my car and when no one is around all the time (Shhh). The other day, I was grooving hard to Andy Gibb -- hope no one saw. But, these days, dancing makes me think of Boogeyman and I don't like that.
On that note, I'm about to "bounce," as the kids like to say, but before I go … It is Christmas and this is the time when everyone seems to be a littler nicer (yet, come the first week in January, we go back to being our selfish selves).
Please, I am begging you, try to keep this feeling you have in your hearts for as long as you can. You will be surprised how far a little kindness can go in making someone's day a little better.
For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled,
and he who humbles himself will be exalted.
Yes, I am with you ALWAYS.
- Jesus Christ

Did everyone have a good Christmas? Ours was much quieter than normal since we stayed home this year for the first time...ever. For Polly, that meant she had company (an audience!)and she was her usual crazy self. She was in and out of every gift bag under the tree, attacked each snippet of ribbon she saw, and in general, totally exhausted herself partying. She slept the entire day on Boxing Day, recovering.
Without the travelling, it meant I was able to get lots accomplished, including finishing up a pair of socks for my big brother, made from Briggs & Little "Tuffy". He loved them!
I completed my year end Aurifil thread inventory, and put in a huge order which will arrive in a couple of weeks. I am excited to see the new collections! One of my goals for this year is to grow my little thread store even larger. I love this thread!
Most of my sewing time was devoted to working on the miniature for the I.M.Q.E., which I am not able to show yet. It is coming along very slowly (but surely). I also started poking away at a few blocks for another small wallhanging for me - so no deadline or pressure on this one. Just fun. Kona red, white, and black.A Needle Pulling Thread in Digby, N.S., posted her annual block for a 52 week quilt challenge. One block a week is very doable, and since I already have a box of blue and white strips left over from making St. F.X. quilts, it seemed a good project to use up these scraps.
My big news for 2018 is that I have been chosen to be an Island Batik Ambassador! More details to follow - can't wait to get sewing!
Wishing everyone a creative and productive 2018.

In fact, prescription drugs are becoming frighteningly popular among Hollywood stars, who have been increasingly using opioid painkillers like oxycodone and hydrocodone to get the characteristic "high." Stories of celebrity addiction to prescription painkillers, or of mixing such drugs with other medications, such as anti-anxiety drugs, nervous system depressants or sleep aids, or even with alcohol hog the limelight quite often.
Officials from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department recently found drugs and related paraphernalia during a raid on singer-songwriter Justin Bieber's home. During the search operation, the police reportedly found two large cookie jars filled with marijuana, three water pipes for smoking dope, apart from empty codeine bottles scattered on the floor.

Elderly Americans Are at High Risk of Prescription Drug Abuse – Medium. Exceeding prescribed doses and getting addicted to prescription painkillers to manage pain is a serious worldwide concern that has crippling long-term effects, not only on younger adults but also on the elderly who often remain unnoticed. According to a recent report by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), people aged 65 years or older in America account for more than one-third of the total spending on prescription medications.
Many physical, psychological and social factors have been identified to cause prescription drug abuse in older adults with some of the most common reasons being serious injuries, chronic pain, inability to sleep, depression due to loss of loved ones or the pain of being separated from family.

Scientists Develop safe Alternative to Morphine – Medium. Painkillers are effective drugs that break the transmission of nerve signals perceived as pain by the human brain.
