Satan's little helpers (otherwise known as Manchester United), are at it again. Supporters jump on the jealousy bandwagon the minute a member of the real Reds (Liverpool) gets the recognition he truly deserves for his brilliance.

Can anyone honestly think of any British player deserving of an award other than Steven Gerrard? Frankly, no one (not even Frank Lampard) could possibly pull off the kind of match-winning abilities on display in the Champions League final and more recently the FA Cup final. Gerrard pulled his team up from certain defeat on both occasions to glory.

Gerrard is optimism personified. White Hart Lane has the slogan "To dare is to do"; well, Anfield should have "It isn't over til its over" on the stands in honour of Gerrard (Olympiakos, 86th minute). As the finest ambassador of British football, he thoroughly deserves his MBE. I can't think of any English player who does more for his team than Gerrard, unless Cristiano Ronaldo gets fast-tracked British citizenship, because, yes, he does influence games with his mesmerising dives.

Honestly, this type of envy could only come from Meanchester quarters and thats why Gerrard has the last laugh.

Steven Gerrard MBE (Mancs Be Envious)

To more moments of brilliance, I congratulate Gerrard and may this award spur him on to greater things - and more glory for the Red of Liverpool.

Do you think Steven Gerrard is English football's best ambassador? Sportingo would welcome your comments and insight.

Endometriosis is a painful disease that affects 5.5 million women in the United States and Canada. Endometriosis occurs when the tissue that lines the uterus grows outside the uterus, typically in the abdomen, fallopian tubes, bowels, ovaries, and lining of the pelvis.

The tissue develops into painful growths and adhesions, which respond the same way normal uterus tissue responds during menstrual periodsit breaks down and bleeds. However, this blood has no exit points, so inflammation occurs, therefore leading to pain. So, many women constantly seek solutions to endometriosis pain relief because the condition is extremely painful.

Some of the symptoms of endometriosis include:

Lower back and abdominal pain
Pain during intercourse, bowel movements, or urination
Excessive bleeding and pain during menstrual periods
Infertility, or the inability to become pregnant

Tried & Proven Endometriosis Pain Relief Treatments

There is no cure for endometriosis. However, a variety of successful endometriosis pain relief treatment options do exist. The severity of the disease, age, and your plans for future pregnancy will determine which endometriosis pain relief method will work best for you.

Pain Medication. Doctors may prescribe over-the-counter painkillers, such as ibuprofen (Advil), naproxen sodium (Aleve) or acetaminophen (Tylenol) for mild endometriosis pain relief. If the pain continues or worsens, stronger prescription drugs may be prescribed. Clinically proven topical non-addictive solutions on the market such as Menastil have proven very effective in providing pain relief.

Hormonal Therapy. Hormonal therapy has proven time and time again to be a very successful option for endometriosis pain relief. Different hormones can be used, such as oral contraceptives (estrogen and progesterone in combination), Gonadotropin-releasing hormones (GnRH analogs), progesterone drugs, and danazol (a weak male hormone).

Surgery. In some severe cases, surgery may be necessary in order to receive endometriosis pain relief. Conservative surgery options can remove growths resulting in endometriosis pain relief; however, for women who experience debilitating pain, radical surgery may be needed. A hysterectomy will remove endometriosis-ridden ovaries to finally offer endometriosis pain relief. ALWAYS get a 2nd and 3rd opinion before you move forward with this option.

Alternative Medicine. Such as certain herbs, acupressure, and aromatherapy have proven to provide varying degrees of endometriosis pain relief. You will need to experiment to find the right concoction for your particular level of pain.

If you experience any of the symptoms of endometriosis, visit your doctor immediately. There are plenty of endometriosis pain relief options that can help you cope with your endometriosis pain.

When my husband was in college, a number of his fellow students were bringing their dirty laundry home, and Mom was coming once a month to clean their room. This wasn't because they were lazy, but they simply didn't know how to do the laundry or house cleaning!

Don't let your children become like those students... Apart from the fact that teaching your children house and other chores prepare them for life on their own, they're also chores that you don't need to do! I know, I know, it takes time to teach them how to do it, and there will be quite a few times when you will need to finish the job behind them, but once they know, you will never need to do it again until they leave... And, at least until they reach eight or so, they will be proud to be entrusted with "big people" tasks.

So, what tasks can be safely delegated to your children? It depends on their age, but there are things they can do as early as 2 years old. Below is a list of tasks by age group:

Toddlers: Can dust with an electromagnetic cloth or baby wipe; Spray and scrub the sink and bathtub with water and a sponge; pick up toys or other floor clutter and put them in baskets or bins - if the baskets are labeled with pictures, they can even put the right toys in the right container! At this point, anything you give them to do except putting the toys away will be more to give them something to do while you are cleaning, but they will try to do their best if you take the time to teach them, and it will seem natural to them when they graduate to more complex tasks.

Preschoolers: Sweep with kid-size broom; spray and squeegee windows using lemon- or vinegar-water (inside windows only, please!); use a handheld vacuum; wipe sinks using baby wipes; empty a small trash basket into a bigger bag; scrub corners of kitchen chairs or other small spaces using a clean toothbrush or nail brush and a cup of water; make beds (preferably with a comforter, it's easier for them); fold towels; put clothes in drawers; hang clothes on hooks; put dirty clothes in hamper; help feed animals; wipe off baseboards, windowsills with small cloth or wearing old socks on their hands; help wipe up spills; dry unbreakable dishes; pick up litter in the yard.

Kindergartners: sweep small areas with a dustpan and broom; clean bathroom sinks; hang up the towel after a bath; store bath toys; help in the kitchen (stirring, tearing lettuce, etc. - no knife yet!); set the napkins and silverware on the table; clear dishes from the table (depends on your child, you know if they risk breaking them or not); help load the dishwasher; straighten plastic dishes in a cabinet; help straighten pots and pans; sort family members' clean laundry; dust furniture; strip linens from beds; straighten books on a bookshelf; put game and puzzle pieces in correct storage containers; use a lint remover to pick up pet hair on furniture; tidy up their room.

Younger Elementary School Kids: Make beds (any of them); take out garbage; sweep stairs and walks; clean the car and help wash it; vacuum their own room; sort and straighten toys; fold and put away laundry; empty the dishwasher; feed and care for pets; set and clean the table (but only with unbreakable dishes and cups at this point); sort clothes for washing.

Older Elementary School Kids: Clean bathroom mirrors; vacuum; clean toilets; clean countertops and the kitchen sink; mop small-area floors; use the washer and dryer; wash, dry and put away dishes; clean pet areas; clean cobwebs and dust in high places with a pole; sweep the garage; set and clean the table (by the end of elementary school, they usually are able to do it with regular dishes and glasses).

Teenagers: Can do everything you do, except for the most intensive jobs, or the ones using noxious products, such as deep-cleaning of the oven, or removing mold from the bathroom tiles.

So, when will you sit down and create a chore chart for your children? What chores will you assign to each, depending on their ages? What will you do with the time you are saving this way?

Today the modern generation is facing a severe problem of sexually transmitted diseases. It has become necessary for all to be aware of the diseases and to know the methods to prevent them from such incurable diseases. All of us know about condoms but how exact is our knowledge about condoms and its use one cannot say. It becomes very important to talk about condoms. The HIV Testing Day started a very good move towards imparting knowledge on HIV/AIDS and also giving information on safe sex and use of condoms. People gain a lot of knowledge through such programs.

Generally people feel shy to talk about the use of condoms as they know that they are going to be laughed at. People should not hesitate to talk about condoms and more than that the ones who know about the use of condoms should seriously talk about it so that nobody feels shy. Off course you can have a light joke about it but never let the person questioning feel embarrassed. When you talk about the use of condoms you are giving very important information to your friend and doing good work, as the listener will be protected in some way from the knowledge you impart. Moreover the way you reply will also encourage your other friends to open up and talk frankly about the condoms. There wont be any taboos about condoms and the use of it.

Not talking about condom use could create problems. You should be frank with your partner to talk about condoms. It could be that your partner does not want to use the condom as he or she feels that it will lower the pleasure or could be that your partner especially the male partner feels offended. You can always open up and explain your reasons. After all it is a matter of life. Both the partners could be at a risk of getting the disease much talked about. None of you would like either of the partners to be infected with the disease. Condoms protect you from becoming parents and prevent you from the infectious disease HIV/AIDS therefore there is no harm in talking about the use of condoms with your partners too.

Parents too should open up and talk to their children about sex, use of condoms and sexually transmitted diseases. There are a number of teenagers who involve in unsafe sex. If they are made aware of the causes of the HIV/AIDS and STD and how the use of condoms can protect from getting the infection then the number of HIV victims will definitely fall down. Unless the awareness is not created the children will not know the facts and dangers of unprotected sex. So parents should make it a point to talk about the condom use which is necessary for them.

The human body is made up of a gloriously complex network of systems that work in tandem to support everyday functioning. At the heart of it all are the natural hormones produced by the glands throughout the body; orchestrating the myriad of processes that we take for granted. Without these natural hormones our bodies could not perform the innumerable actions it executes on a daily basis.

Natural hormones start working from the moment of conception, deciding our gender and establishing a host of system functions that will make us able to survive in the world. We are so sensitive to the over or under production of natural hormones in our bodies that fluctuations can lead to a variety of illness. The complexity is difficult to comprehend as the functions we take for granted such as heart rate and breathing are regulated by natural hormones.

Different glands throughout the body produce different natural hormones that work to support different functions. The pituitary gland produces growth hormone, a natural hormone that regulates growth and the metabolism. The kidneys produce Vitamin D, a natural hormone that helps strengthen bones. The pancreas produces the natural hormone insulin that regulates sugar levels in our bodies. When the pancreas fails to produce consistent levels of insulin, diabetes can result.

The adrenal glands regulate male and female hormones. In the female body these are the ovaries which produce estrogen to support menstruation and pregnancy. In the male body the testes produce testosterone. The production of estrogen is so important a natural hormone in a womans body that when estrogen stops being produced during menopause, many women experience a bevy of symptoms that causes them to turn to hormone replacement therapy. However, replacing natural hormones with synthetic hormones has been highly controversial as researchers are unclear about long term effects.

Natural hormones are another amazing part of the miracle of the human body. It is another example of how delicate the balance is between all the necessary components that make our bodies work efficiently.

As GPS technology gets better and better and smaller and smaller it will be able to be used for many things? For instance at the World Series a baseball hit into the third level will be able to be recorded by GPS as to exactly how far it was hit and its trajectory to formulate where it would have actually landed had the stadium been flat. Thus we will be able to tell who was the greatest homerun power house of all times, perhaps even who is on steroids based on their body mass, speed of pitch, GPS data and haptics (body movement and form). Wouldnt it be cool to be watching the World Series on TV and instant information about a homerun appearing on the bottom of the screen? Sounds like a whole new potential betting arena, not only how many homeruns a person will hit, but exactly how far they will hit them?

A football kick would be immediately known the exact yardage, every play near the sidelines would be instantly called in or out of bounds and there would never be any question as to if a football actually broke the goal line. I can hear the referee unions screaming foul already as they will no longer be needed or have jobs? Ouch? Soccer balls, off sides, out of bounds? Yes all possible via GPS data.

With sensors getting smaller and GPS units being used in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles of smaller and smaller size for Micro Air Vehicles and RFID imbedded chips, this technology believe it or not is ready for golf balls as well? All you need is a little imagination. So there you are Tiger Woods with a PDA device in your hands which measures the exactly where the ball is, how far to the next hole, picking up the data from inside the golf ball itself and the flag in the hole. Way-points are displayed also as to where the sand traps are, lakes, edge of fairway and the rough surrounding the green.

The World Think Tank recent discussion and brain storming session digressed from GPS navigational devices to sports and we came up with the idea to put GPS Sensors in golf balls, so you could find your golf ball if you have a nasty slice or heavy winds taking it off course. Part of our discussion also came from another recent think tank discussion on putting GPS sensors on Locusts Swarms in order to track them.

The idea of putting GPS sensors on Locusts is a noble idea, yet who will pay for this technology, as the locust is small and cannot carry much weight and still keep up with the rest of the swarm, which of course would throw off the reading? Our thoughts were to let the golfing community pay for it. After all if the locusts see such a green area of grass they would eat it all up.

As a kid I use to run on the golf course and saw balls way off the ranges and fairways. Some of these golf balls were custom, with people's names on them? Ouch adding insult to injury, I could immediately tell who the bad golfer was? With the new GPS WTT Golf Balls you could never lose your golf balls, because you would know their exact location via a set of satellites and that data would be displayed on your wireless PDA device. This PDA wireless Tracking device would be with you and you could carry it in a zipper pouch on the golf bag or on the steering wheel of your golf cart. Now then on the poles and flags of each hole would be another sensor so when you set the ball on the "T" for the next shot you would see the exact distance.

We went one step further and figured out how to integrate a mini-weather station system on you golf cart. It will be a slight modification of the Climatronics Corporations TACMET System. For those who liked to get a work out, it could be integrated into the golf bag with a small external periscope;

http://www.climatronics.com See the TACNET System.

By integrating the GPS System with known GIS Golf Course Topography and exact weather readings from the TACMET System into the wireless PDA, the golfer would have all the data needed to make a perfect shot provided they had the skill and pre-cognitive ability to make it so. Our system will also be able to suggest the best club to use based on the ability of the golfer from previous courses, wind, distance and punching in of the golfers present fatigue factor based on a 1-10 scale.

A Sarasota Company, Great White Shark Entertainment is already busy installing WiFi and GPS systems such as golf shot distance measurement and course information which includes a Golf Cart mounted system and handheld PDA wireless mobile display. These systems will become great revenue enhancers for Golf Clubs and for the serious golfer who likes all the bells and whistles and has the money to afford them. There system is quite perfect to add to our idea or vice versa, check it out: The Inforemer, this information available at their website. GPS Industries is making it all happen.

The Our WTT GPS Golf Balls will be more expensive than normal balls but well worth it as the system teaches the player to shoot a better game. The golf ball could be the same weight? As any normal PGA Golf Ball.

A future thought along this theme would be to eventually have, thru special internal parts and shape shifting techniques, the ball if it got close would simply roll over to the hole and fall in. This would mean no one would ever have to give them a free put or allow someone to feel bad who fudged the score. This future idea would be great for the player who understands he is not anywhere near a scratch golfer but occasionally might like to play with a few. Or for the player who goes to the course simply to look cool, but has not brains or talent?

Spalding is perhaps the most respected and popular brand when it comes to basketballs. Spalding, a brainchild of Albert Goodwill Spalding, was created in 1876, and was the first firm to manufacture balls specifically for the game of basketball. According to the survey website epinions.com, Spalding is the global market leader in basketballs, rivaling the popularity of other basketball brands like Nike, Wilson, Rawlings, and Mikasa.

Spalding has been NBAs officially recognized ball since 1983. Almost all reviewers on Epinions gave five star ratings to Spalding balls. Spalding balls are considered extremely durable, suited to both outdoor and indoor play. Another factor in their favor is cost- they are not as expensive as other basketballs like Nike. For example, a Spalding All Surface Composite Leather ball sells on SportDepot.com for around $30. As the name suggests, this ball is good for both indoor and outdoor play. It has a soft composite leather shell, marked with deep channels to enhance grip and bounce.

The NBA (and WNBA) basketballs manufactured by Spalding measures 29.5 in circumference (28.5 for the womens match). That is, official size 7 for men and 6 for women. The mens basketball is pebbled with a density approaching 122 per square inch, and this helps retain a good bounce for a longer time. This ball has a leather cover, suited only to indoor play. The wide channel design ensures smooth bounce.

The Spalding Rubber Mens basketball is manufactured according to the requisite NBA specifications, and it is good for both outdoor and indoor play. It has a circumference of 29.5. This brown colored ball has the NBA logo imprinted on it.

The latest, and very popular, Spalding basketball lines are the TF 100 and TF 1000. These balls are used by basketball pros during official matches, and are retailed on many sports websites like SportsDepot.

Apart from the official basketballs, Spalding also manufactures other kinds of balls like the Leather Mini basketballs, which are sold by OnlineSports.com.

Soccer cleats are athletic shoes that are specially designed for soccer players. Soccer shoes have large studs or cleats on the bottom that assist players in gripping the surface. These studs help players to be easily moved in the desired position.

Generally the cleats are made up of molded plastic because metal cleats are illegal as they cause danger to other players. Plastic studs are round in shape that offers excellent grip on the hard mud of the basepath. Soccer shoes or football shoes can have both plastic as well as metal cleats on the sole whereas golf shoes have metal cleats.

Replaceable cleats are the best option for soccer or football players. Cleats of soccer shoes can be removed and replaced with another kind. Players can choose cleats as per their requirements. These studs or cleats are designed to provide exact traction or grip but these studs should not be so long because extra long suds can pose a risk for the player like knee injury.

Different manufacturers provide soccer cleats of great quality so the players should buy the best fit. Players should keep certain points in mind at the time of buying soccer cleats. They should find a soccer specialty store near their home. Players must know the exact shoe size so that they can play comfortably. They can also get information from the supplier about current and upcoming sales on soccer shoes.

Athletes should use soccer cleats for two or three months before finals. They can easily get all about their shoes with regular practice. They can talk, to salesperson or the coach, about which type of soccer cleats suits them. They must choose few pairs for trail basis and then select the best out of them. Whenever youre going to try the shoes on, dont forget to wear socks. You should check whether your heels are comfortable or not.
