The Woman In Black
A lawyer obsessed with a curse that he believes has been cast over him and his family by the spectre of a 'woman in black', engages a sceptical young actor to help him tell his terrifying story and exorcise the fear that grips his soul.
It all begins innocently enough, but as they reach further into his darkest memories, they find themselves caught up in a world of eerie marshes and moaning winds. The borders between make believe and reality begin to blur and the flesh begins to creep….
Now celebrating its 23rd year in the West End, over 7 million people have lived to tell the tale of one of the most chilling and successful theatre events ever staged.
'The most brilliantly effective spine chiller you will ever encounter… if you haven't seen this show yet you are missing a treat.' The Daily Telegraph
'The audience were jumping out of their seats.' The Observer
'A truly nerve-shredding experience.' Daily Mail

GLOUSTER, Ohio — Forcing turnovers was a key to victory for the Lady Tomcats Saturday in Athens County.
Trimble forced Wahama into 20 turnovers en route to a 55-31 Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division contest.
The Lady Falcons (2-14, 2-11 TVC Hocking) held close to Trimble (6-12, 6-6) early on but THS took the two-point lead at the end of the first period. The Lady Tomcats expanded their lead to double digits in the second period with a 15-to-5 run. THS led 24-12 at the half.
The Lady Tomcats out scored WHS by four points in the third period and held a 16 point advantage with just eight minutes remaining in the game. Wahama marked nine points in the fourth period but Trimble scored 17 to seal the 55-31 victory.
Junior Sierra Carmichael led the Lady Falcons with 14 points, followed by Kelsey Zuspan with six. Zuspan and Carmichael each hit a three-pointer in the game. Rachel Roque chipped in with four points, while Shalyn Greer, Mackenzie Gabritsch and Paige Gardner each finished with two points. Olivia Hill rounded out the WHS scoring with one point in the loss.
The Lady Falcons finished with 33 rebounds, led by Zuspan with seven, six assists, led by Zuspan with three, five steals, led by Carmichael with three, and three blocks, led by Zuspan with two.Wahama committed 20 turnovers and 10 fouls.
Wahama shot 5-of-11 (45.5 percent) from the charity stripe and 12-of-44 (27.3 percent) from the field, including 2-of-12 (16.7 percent) from beyond the arc.
Tia Altier led THS with 17 points, followed by Demi Moore and Emily McKee with 11 each. Morgan Murphy had six points, Kate Spencer marked four, while Nikki Kish, Madi Moore and Logan Carano each finished with two points.
As a team Trimble had 37 rebounds, 14 assists, three blocks, seven steals, 10 fouls and 14 turnovers. Kish led all-rebounders with eight, Altier finished with a game-high four steals and McKee had a game-high five assists.
Trimble shot 7-of-10 (70 percent) from the line, and 20-of-54 (37 percent) from the field, including eight three pointers. Demi Moore and McKee each hit a trio of triples, while Altier had the other two.
The Lady Tomcats also defeated Wahama in its season opener on December 3rd in Mason by a count of 55-36. The triumph snaps Trimble's three game skid and moves the Lady Tomcats into a tie for fourth place in the TVC Hocking with Belpre. Wahama has now lost back to back games.

Thanks for the clear advice. I think I have come to the same conclusion--since the system runs fine. I think I will wait for the 2010 final, maybe reinstall & refit my home & swap then.You said: you could create a swap file on the existing partition and have your OS use that when it is needed.That is an interesting suggestion--I'll do Rule#1 & see where it leads.

Bible Discussion Luke 17:34-37
(34)"I tell you, in that night there will be two men in one bed: the one will be taken and the other will be left. (35) There will be two women grinding together: the one will be taken and the other left. (36) Two men will be in the field: the one will be taken and the other left."
(37)And they answered and said to Him, "Where Lord?" So He said to them, "Wherever the body is, there the eagles will be gathered together." (New King James Version) This is a common text used to support the idea of the rapture of Christ's church. A lesser discussed topic is the text of verse 34 when the masculine is used to refer to two in bed. Most versions eliminate the gender on this one. There are those that believe that those versions are censoring this because of homosexual connotations. Knowing a bit about linguistics, I know that masculine words refer to male and mixed gender groups in most languages, and would have in Greek. So the question arises as to the gender of the two in bed, and whether this bed refers to a marriage bed. I'm not sure of the customs of the time and how common it was for men to share a bed, but I find it interesting that the text specifies that they were in one bed. In my limited experience and understanding I view that as Christ possibly drawing attention to the fact that these two were in bed together, which leads me to believe that the masculine was intended to mean two men, and the emphasis was to insinuate a romantic relationship between the two. What are your thoughts on this passage?
Man will never be truly free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest. |
In the 1830's it was common for men traveling to share a bed at the local boarding house. Nothing romantic about it. 12.5 cents per night and if you wanted a bed to yourself you had to pay for it.
So my guess there is no romantic connotation. The preachers on the site will have to clear this one up for us, Andy? Dave? it's all yours.

δύο ἐπὶ κλίνης
λέγω ὑμῖν ταύτῃ τῇ νυκτὶ ἔσονται δύο ἐπὶ κλίνης μιᾶς ὁ εἷς παραλημφθήσεται καὶ ὁ ἕτερος ἀφεθήσεται The words in question: κλίνης - bed δύο - two (adjective, nominative, plural, masculine). What is curious is that the the nominative plural feminine is also spelled δύο! Is there something in the immediate Greek context that would cause us to assume it is two men in the bed? The context does say that the other (man) was left: ὁ ἕτερος ἀφεθήσεται ὁ - the (article, nominative, singular, masculine) ἕτερος - other ἀφεθήσεται - was left So does the reference to the one man that was left behind automatically mean that δύο refers to two men? It makes sense to me unless you feel that that the author used δύο to be ambiguous about gender. I think the context would lead me to translate it as two men. And this does bring up an excellent side discussion. Can homophobia influence translation. Absolutely. Last edited by antonyh; 10-23-2007 at 12:03 PM. Reason: additional cogitation |
Antony and friends,
I don't think we can draw much of any conclusion from this. The text does not say two MEN. It says only "two". The one who is left is not "the other MAN" but only "the other." The gender of the words "two" and of "other" (the Greek allows these words to be expressed with gender, but uses male gender when the gender is undetermined or indefinite or mixed) probably doesn't really tell us what sex the "two" are. (There is a difference between "sex" and "gender" after all.) The point was also made earlier that two men or two women (or two children for that matter) sharing the same bed was not all that unusual. It's only in this century that we have so many rooms and beds that only married people and lovers share the same bed (and some time even they don't if they snore). A much better candidate for an allusion to same-sex activity is found in Ecclesiastes, chapter 4 where the rhetorical question is asked "If two lie together they are warm, but how can one be warm alone?" In this case both the words "lie" and "warm" in Hebrew have double meanings alluding to sex and where there is a literary context with likely allusion to the Gilgamesh Epic and it's male pair of heroes/lovers, Gilgamesh and Enkidu. Steven Webster |
Not sure
Hey, my Greek is rusty so any challenge is good. I could see how a gender neutral translation is appropriate, but I still lean to translating it as two men. |
Isn't the best translation simply "Two were in bed, one was taken and the other was left." I would definitely disagree with translating it in such a way as to make it a heterosexual couple--the text doesn't say that either---but it doesn't exclude the possibility. Steven Webster |
My case for including men in the bed
Verse 34 (two men in bed): ὁ - The (article, nominative, singular, masculine) εἷς παραλημφθήσεται καὶ - one will be taken ὁ - The (article, nominative, singular, masculine) ἕτερος ἀφεθήσεται - other will be left Verse 35 (two women grinding): ἡ - The (article, nominative, singular, feminine) μία παραλημφθήσεται - one will be taken ἡ - The (article, nominative, singular, feminine) δὲ ἑτέρα ἀφεθήσετα - other will be left In both verses δύο is used! It is the only the context that helps us determine if δύο is masculine or feminine. Now on to the translations. The NRSV leaves the gender neutral in verse 34 ("there will be δύο two in one bed") BUT in verse 35 uses the female gender ("δύο two women grinding together"). Definitely leaving the men in the closet. The translators of the KJV include the men in bed. Most amusingly, the Darby Translation apologetically includes the men in bed... I say to you, In that night there shall be two [men] upon one bed; one shall be seized and the other shall be let go. This is more fun than Seminary. Last edited by antonyh; 10-23-2007 at 09:42 PM. |
I think the parallelism is a good argument. Do you think the two men in the bed were also "grinding"? (Scholars do point out that the Ruth and Boaz storyteller may have intended a double meaning in the image of "threshing" as Ruth goes to seduce Boaz at the threshing floor.) Or did the author intend some humor about men lying about sleeping while the women folk are busy grinding flour? Steven Webster |
Thanks for bringing up this text.
I've got many thoughts, but first, the following portion of scriptural text seems out of place.
Now, here's Luke 17:37 NIV: Quote:
Got me
ὅπου τὸ σῶμα ἐκεῖ καὶ οἱ ἀετοὶ ἐπισυναχθήσονται ὅπου - where τὸ - the σῶμα - body ἐκεῖ - there καὶ - and, also, even οἱ - the ἀετοὶ - eagles/vultures ἐπισυναχθήσονται - gather together I think the issue hinges on the bird. ἀετός - Is it an eagle or a vulture? If it is a vulture I think the NIV is taking too much liberty to assume the body is dead even though vultures like to prey on dead bodies. |
P.S. How do you say "nice pants" in Biblical greek?
The ones "taken" could be understood as eagles who saw the overview and gathered together on purpose. But the ones "left" would be vultures, or the victims of vultures. Those without "sight," stuck with each other by the nature of their common confusion. The kind of people that would invariably turn on each other, aka 'eat each other' like "vultures." |
Small point
www.revandylittle.com - Andy's blog Sins are always worse when they're different than mine |
Point being might be to minimize confusion of the message. Had it been a man AND a woman in a bed (or in a field), and only one was taken, it may have had potentially unnecessary gender implications as to which gender deserved to be raptured, and which one did not. Just a thought. Can we get to the rapture part now? |
No really, I posted something, it's just not showing up.
Update: Ok there we go. |
Possibly, although we'd have to consider the demographics of the crowd as well. If He was speaking to a predominately Jewish crowd He would more than likely have intended the words to be understood in a Platonic/Franternal sense. If He was speaking to a mixed crowd, it is quite possible that the phrase may be read as being a double entendre. But then again the words have been passed down through the generations. Traditionally it is held that Luke the Evangelist wrote that Gospel account. Luke was a disciple of Paul of Tarsus who claimed to have seen a vision of Christ on the Road to Damascus. If we are to assume that Paul was given the entire story and related it to Luke we've got it going through two hands already. Pass that down for 1000 years, as the language continues to change, and pass through a language barrier. It's like an enormous game of telephone. Then we have to consider the power that the Catholic Church had over the texts. Only the Priests could read and interpret the text. The people were not allowed to read their bibles until the Protestant reformation created the second schism of the Church by factioning all of the Western Christians. But even to this day, the Priests and Pastors are still looked to as the authority on Biblical matters, so we've had centuries of programming that we must shake off before we can understand the true message. Then we take the passages that those behind the pulpit use to discourage us from true understanding, because the tell us that we must not "lean on our own understanding". That passage is easy to take out of context, but we must take heart and know that our understanding is not our own, because "God is still speaking."(UCC Motto) We recieve understanding from Godde, and to fail to utilize that is an insult to Them.
"I can't believe that God designed a human being with a mind we're not supposed to use." - *insert Philosopher here*
Man will never be truly free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest. |
This may be a little off-topic, but...
There are a number of places in the Bible where the relationships between two men could have been homosexual in nature. However, none of the relationships is directly stated in the text. (With the possible exception of Johnathan and David)
I have heard gays arguing with Christian fundamentalists that the Bible DOES mention homosexual relationships; they use various passages to make the point. But the references to gay relationships in those verses are obscure at best. It seems to me that when we try to prove that the Bible does mention gay relationships, it makes us look like we're grasping at straws. (I'm not saying that this discussion does that; it simply brought this topic to mind.) The issue for me is not whether homosexual relationships are mentioned in the Bible, but the fact that they are nowhere spoken against in the Bible. (Having dogs as pets is nowheere mentioned either, but I don't see any reason to condemn pet owners because there is no mention of the situation.) When the fundamentalists use such verses as the story of Sodom etc. to rail against us, THEY appear to be grasping at straws. A logical look at the issue and a serious theological look at the Bible always come out in favor of our side. Pablo
For I am convinced that neither life nor death...neither the present nor the future nor anything in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39 |
Jesus and the Six Homosexuals
To understand Luke 17:34-36, it is important 1) to look at the Old Testament background of the images used and 2) to study the passage in the context of chapter 17. We need to do more than look at the verses in isolation.
First, there are two verses in Leviticus that, as far as I know, are the only Biblical background for "two men in one bed," and those are Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13. Second, there are at least three places in the Old Testament where the word "grind" is used as a euphemism for sexual intercourse: Job 31:10, Judges 16:21, and Lamentations 5:13. (I believe it is also used as a euphemism for sex in Isaiah 47:2, but this is debatable.) Third, the section in Luke immediately preceding Luke 17:34-36 are verses 20-35. Verses 20-35 are an account of Sodom, and include references to fire and brimstone and to Lot's wife. (While the story of Sodom and Gomorrah does not itself refer to homosexuality, the story is nevertheless associated with homosexuality in the popular mind. I suspect this was as true in the first century as it is today.) When the reader moves from a story about the destruction of Sodom, to a description of two men violating the Levitical Law against man-on-man sex, it is clear to me that we are intended to understand the three couples in Luke 17:34-36 (KJV) as gays and lesbians. Antony, thanks for your discussion of the grammar of verses 34 and 35. Your presentation is simple and straightforward, quite excellent! |
I always figured that the 2 women grinding were milling grain. Like with a mortar and pestle. Although "two women grinding together" is pretty dang funny.
I think the debate about passages like this isn't so much whether they are talking about gays as it is about the part where people dissapear. I have listened to TV preachers read passages like this to give evidence for whether there will be a rapture or not. I don't think it will happen like that but if it does there's not much I can do about it. I figure questions like that are above my spiritual paygrade. |

Northwest Mo. Lawmaker Proposes Product Sharing Website for Farmers
By: Alex Hassel
Updated: March 30, 2012
The bill would create the Missouri International Agricultural Exchange, a website where farmers can connect with clients across the globe.
Missouri State Representative, Delus Johnson, wants to give Missouri agriculture attention across the world.
"It'd make it easier for Missouri farmers to connect with international produce buyers," he says.
Johnson calls it the Missouri International Agricultural Exchange.
He's proposed legislation that would create a website like craigslist.org, where farmers can list their agricultural products and connect with clients in other countries.
"This is going to use content that's licensed by the Department of Agriculture and allow a private company to build a website that's geared towards the international search engines" Johnson says.
He says that website would be free for farmers and free to the state.
The private company would sell ads to support the site.
Missouri has the second largest number of farms in the U.S., but ranks 15th in exports.
Johnson says while the demand for agricultural products is growing across the world, he wants to see Missouri meet that demand.
"If we build this one-stop website to connect Missouri farmers with international produce buyers, we can actually increase our ranking from 15th, up to possibly number two, or even number one," he says.
Bob Kelly, Ag Business Specialist at the University of Missouri Extension in St. Joseph, says from the way the website sounds, it could benefit Missouri farmers.
"Any way producers can get their product in front of the world markets is going to be a plus," he says.
He says the concept sounds similar to this site only for hay market listings in Missouri, which has been a big help to farmers.
"Recently, with the drought in Texas, and them needing hay and things like that, it's got used a lot more, but it's still an excellent way for producers to do it, and the key issue is, it's free," says Kelly.
Johnson says if approved, the Missouri International Agricultural Exchange can make a difference for the state.
"It's going to basically rebuild the foundation to rebuilding our economy because to do that, we've got to support agriculture," says Johnson.
Johnson expects the bill to be on the house floor within the next two to three weeks.
He doesn't expect much opposition to the bill as he says it would not cost the state any money.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "With a high proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine has both structured and superbly rich fruit. The tannins are firm, but show a sweet, enticing edge to them, giving a full body and classic, fresh black currant acidity. An impressive wine, which definitely needs to agefive years or more."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The Cuvee Prestige, the 2006 Haut-Condissas (60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot from the vineyard's finest parcels), possesses a more saturated color as well as additional structure, body, and intense fruit. The finish is heady and long. This offering should drink nicely for 12-15 years...
Cellar/Tasting Notes RP: "More Burgundian than Bordeaux-like, Gerard Perse's 2005 white Monbousquet exhibits rich, medium to full-bodied flavors of smoky oak, mango, white peaches, honeysuckle, and nectarine. While delicious, its aging potential is suspect, and I suggest consuming it over the next 4-5 years"
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Over-achievers in short, the 2009 La Fleur de Bouard is fabulous, with notes of blueberry, plum, licorice, white flowers and camphor followed by a full-bodied, well-endowed, textured, supple wine. Stunningly concentrated, yet silky and seductive ..."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is one of the finest wines I have tasted from this highly regarded terroir that has rarely been exploited to its maximum potential. Loads of chalk dust intertwined with sweet kirsch, black currants, licorice and camphor jump from the glass of this full-bodied wine, which has terrific fruit..
Cellar/Tasting Notes A terrific, classic Graves with notes of subtle smoke, black raspberries, black currants, graphite and unsmoked cigar tobacco, this full-bodied, deep, concentrated de Fieuzal is far more generous and deep than most vintages of the past. There is also a wonderful freshness and length to this..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Barrel sample. There is wood here, the fruit is fresh, with a lively acidity on top of the core of tannin. A bright, fresh, blackcurrant wine"

00USPS and de facto bankruptcyJeremiahCan anyone doubt that the UPPS is in a cycle of terminal decline, and that this is due almost entirely to the apron strings with which it is still attached to the political process? (rhetorical question) Though the 1970 Postal Reorganization Act, which transformed the old U.S. Post Office as of 7/1/1971 into the U.S. Postal Service as a wholly owned government corporation which supposedly would "be run like a business," the reality was that the pols never really relinquished their leash on the reinvented agency. If the USPS really could operate like a true profit/loss-based business, they would never be in the situation in which they find themselves now. Even with the dire situation facing it, the pols of BOTH parties still quail before public wrath - especially with an impending election - over proposals to reduce desirable but fiscally nonsustainable operations seen in the thousands of small money-losing post offices and retention of Saturday delivery. This is supposed to be leadership and dealing up front with tough problems? (rhetorical question no. 2) The only viable long term solution - which has the proverbial chance of a snowball in Hades - is to cut the said apron strings and indeed set the USPS free to operate as a responsible business entity. Ironically, the creation of a financially stable - albeit nuch smaller - USPS business-based organization, is opposed by the postal unions, which stand opposed to losing their privileged but nonsustainable current status, even though it would be to their members' long term benefit. The pols will no doubt seek to opt for yet another short term band aid-type fix after the election in classic "kick the can down the road" fashion (though the can is pretty battered and the road is increasingly full of potholes), as this dysfunctional approach seems to be encoded in the pols' DNA as a feckless way to avoid dealing with our ever-mounting inability to get our fiscal house in order.33482{ "Agree":"1","Funny":"1","Insightful":"1","Disagree":"-1","Offensive":"-1","Troll":"-1" }0Post OfficeGetOffYour ButtsThe US Constitution____ listed under 'Powers of Congress' is REQUIRRED to establish a postal system___Yet it is the one and the only agency that Congress does NOT fund, and not one dime of taxpayer tax dollars goes to the post office.

The Military gets $720 Billion tax payers dollars each year and they do not pay in advance for their future health care costs____no agency pays for FUTURE retirees health care costs other than the post office and OPM has OVERCHARGED the post office well over $100 Billion dollars in total since 1970 for both future health care costs and future pension costs of their workers.

No business can 'make' money when they charge too little for the services they provide. It costs 65 cents to mail a letter in Canada and it costs between 75 cesnt and one dollar to mail a letter in every European country. Our post office has the lowest postage prices "on the entire planet to mail a letter". Our post office only chharges one half as much as Federal Express and United Parcel Service does for Express package delivery service and for 2-3 day priority package service. NO compaany can only charge 1/2 the price their competitors charge for the same service, as the post office does and then still make money.34376{ "Agree":"1","Funny":"1","Insightful":"1","Disagree":"-1","Offensive":"-1","Troll":"-1" }0

Limp Lions to limp from Newlands
12 Mar 2009
Thank goodness there is always the prospect of playing the Lions to improve one's mood. And the bones agree.
Having recovered from Week 3′s dismal 2/7 the bones were back in business with 5/6 with the champion Crusaders the only surprise in losing to the Highlanders.
Just how hard is it going to be for the Crusaders without Robbie Deans, Richie McCaw, Dan Carter, Scott Hamilton and a few others. Well it isn't looking particularly good and if they don't overcome the Force at home then it is goodbye to a successful challenge. Some would call it early days in the competition but a fourth successive defeat for the Saders will turn this season into one of rebuilding.
Of all the match-ups that has been the toughest one to call, although I think the closest game will be in Canberra when the Tahs travel north from Sydney.
Last weekend's matches, with the exception of the Sharks and Blues, were diabolical in quality of rugby and I can't see much changing this weekend, as the players generally lack the quality of those who in previous years made Super rugby the best provincial rugby competition in the world.
The Stormers, desperate and boring in Pretoria, will at least get a home win to ease the pain of the tradtional early season torture because the limp Lions are in town. The sooner the Lions get put out of their misery and replaced by Cheeky's Eastern Cape Kings of Convenience the better. Another defeat will keep them rooted at the bottom of the table, a position they have owned for much of their Super rugby existence.
The Stormers will win but not because they have improved in any shape or form. This one will be down to who they are playing and not because of how they will play.

Stormers face tighthead crisis
2009-03-12 22:10Email | PrintStormers prop Brian Mujati (Gallo Images)
Stephen Nell – Die Burger
Cape Town – The Stormers are not just pinning their hopes on Brian Mujati standing his ground against Lions strongman Heinke van der Merwe this weekend, but also on him staying fit for the entire Super14 campaign.
It emerged on Thursday that JC Kritzinger recently tore a knee ligament, leaving the Stormers seriously short of tighthead props.
It was initially said that Kritzinger's injury was not serious, but the scale of the potential crisis facing the Cape side came to light on Thursday.
"I will be out of action for another five-and-a-half months," said Kritzinger.
"I injured the knee during a lineout session. We were practising lineout drives and then I fell badly. I tried to continue, but the ligament tore off completely in the build-up to the game against the Sharks."
The 21-year-old Kritzinger enjoyed a dramatic rise in last year's Currie Cup campaign and was voted Western Province's most promising junior player ahead of another rising star such as Nick Koster.
It had been hoped that Kritzinger would already feature in this year's Super14.
The Stormers have further problems at tighthead prop because it is believed that Brock Harris will only recover from his ankle injury by the time they reach the midway stage of their tour of Australia and New Zealand.
That could mean Mujati tours as the only fit tighthead prop.
However, before then Mujati has to come through unscathed against the Lions.
Former Lions player Bertus Smit has been training with the Stormers for a while.
Should Mujati be injured, the most logical step would be to shift Wicus Blaauw to the tighthead side. The Stormers did this when Mujati had to withdraw from their pre-season friendly against English club Saracens.
JD Moller and Schalk Ferreira are other loosehead prop options, with the latter set to be converted into a hooker.
While the Stormers scrum stood firm in last week's 10-14 defeat to the Bulls at Loftus Versfeld, there may be major problems with depth at tighthead.
The Stormers scrum will be thoroughly tested against the Lions.
Van der Merwe and hooker Willie Wepener enjoy good reputations as scrummagers.
"The Lions have a very strong scrum and a big tight five. They also have Baywatch (Cobus Grobbelaar) who competes well at the breakdowns," said Stormers coach Rassie Erasmus.
"That is why they reached the semifinal of the Currie Cup."

Kan jy glo, he? Al daai olie wat daar le en wag. -

Jy ingekom op SB al? -
13 Mar 2009, 05:19 am#405 Pietman: Ja ek het reggekom dankie
13 Mar 2009, 05:26 amThis from the rugbyheavenwebsite in Australia, bloody cheek, reckon the Bulls should put this up their changeroom.
Super 14 power rankings
Stephen Samuelson | March 11, 2009And then there were six. RugbyHeaven believes that only the top six teams in this week's rankings can make the four – and that rules out the Crusaders. Last week's positions in brackets.
1. (1) Sharks – Ladder position: 3 (Last week: 3 – 4 wins, 0 losses)
The men from Durban have just two more matches on the road and then are back in fortress South Africa. Anyone want to argue that they are not the team to beat?2. (2) NSW Waratahs – Ladder position: 2 (Last week: 2 – 4 wins, 0 losses)
The Tah's round one win in Wellington set them up nicely for a great start to the season. If they can win away this Friday to the Brumbies, then consider them certainties for the finals.3. (5) Hurricanes – Ladder position: 4 (Last week: 6 – 3 wins, 1 loss)
Yet to hit their straps but are already in the four. They have the bye in round five and their next three games – all against South African sides – will determine their season.4. (4) Blues – Ladder position: 5 (Last week: 5 – 2 wins, 2 losses)
Have had one of the tougher draws so far this season but should be in the mix at the pointy end of the season.5. (9) Chiefs – Ladder position: 8 (Last week: 12 – 1 win, 3 losses)
Scored their first win of the tournament in round four but expect them to continue their rise as they have by far the easiest run into the finals of any team.6. (7) ACT Brumbies – Ladder position: 7 (Last week: 7 – 2 wins, 1 loss)
Had the bye last week so have risen because other teams have stumbled – or in the case of the Bulls, beaten no team of note. A loss to the Waratahs could prove disastrous.7. (3) Bulls – Ladder position: 1 (Last week: 1 – 4 wins, 0 losses)
There's no point continuing this charade. The Bulls will not make the finals so what's the point ranking them so highly? Will be lucky to win two games in the next six weeks.8. (11) Highlanders – Ladder position: 12 (Last week: 13 – 1 win, 3 losses)
Bayern Munich in the Champions League kicked five more goals than the Highlander did against the Crusaders. But the men from New Zealand's far south still won and are positioning themselves as the best of the also-rans.9. (6) Force – Ladder position: 6 (Last week: 4 – 2 wins, 2 losses)
What the Force giveth, the Force taketh away. After a stellar win against the Brumbies, the Western Force imploded upon John Mitchell's return home against the Chiefs. Too inconsistent to threaten this season.10. (8) Crusaders – Ladder position: 9 (Last week: 8 – 1 win, 3 losses)
Please, stop all this talk about 2001. The Crusaders season is all over – no McCaw, no Carter, no Deans, no hope.11. (10) Reds – Ladder position: 10 (Last week: 9 – 1 win, 3 losses)
They were not unlucky against the Waratahs because their set pieces were absolutely horrible. They are the Tom Cruise of the Super 14 – mavericks – so perhaps the Sharks should look out this weekend.12. (12) Stormers – Ladder position: 11 (Last week: 10 – 1 win, 3 losses)
Forgettable season from a forgettable team. Next!13. (13) Lions – Ladder position: 13 (Last week: 11 – 1 win, 2 losses)
The Lions are the poor man's Waratahs. Rugged, good defence and steady set pieces but without the results. They are coming off the bye last weekend.14. (14) Cheetahs – Ladder position: 14 (Last week: 14 – 0 wins, 4 losses)
If the Reds are Tom Cruise from Top Gun than the Cheetahs are Anthony Edwards (Goose). They have not won a game outside South Africa in their Super 14 history. -
13 Mar 2009, 08:12 am"[The Reds] are the Tom Cruise of the Super 14 – mavericks…"
Don't think I'd ever want to be compared to Tom Cruise…
13 Mar 2009, 08:34 amdon't think mavericks will be happy either…
13 Mar 2009, 10:36 am#379 Robzim:
lol, just thought it more amusing than anything else, you seem to be an avid follower of desperate housewives. i knew a member of the lebonese mafiosa who would not miss Egoli for all the tea in china, so am not sure it reflects on anything, just funny is all. -
13 Mar 2009, 12:43 pmThere you have it Keostormers, 1/2, the Bones on 50% for the weekend so far. We will see after the Stormers game.
13 Mar 2009, 12:46 pmEven the Aussies don't knock the Lions like Keostormers do, wtf Keo!!!!
13 Mar 2009, 13:03 pmAnd how about their sudden loss of memory to go with that… I gues the Keostormers guys considder their losses against the Blues the Sharks and the Bulls (yip, 3 losses out of 4 games)as minor glitches on their road to supirior rugby!
And how can we forget that stellar performance against the awesome reds!?!
I hope the Lions thrash you tomorrow!!!!!!!!!
13 Mar 2009, 13:08 pmAs far as I am concerned 15 limp Lions (Keo said it – not me) playing as a team will beat 15 individual Stormers any day.
13 Mar 2009, 14:21 pmOne wrong already… may it be two with a Lions win
13 Mar 2009, 14:53 pmThank goodness there is always the prospect of chatting on decent rugby blogs to improve one's mood. And the LIONS agree.
13 Mar 2009, 15:02 pmEd dalk was jy verkeerd gewees, ek dink die een in die middel is keo
13 Mar 2009, 15:06 pm#417 raylion: hahaha, moerse twee stryd tussen Keo en Puke vir wie in die middel is.
13 Mar 2009, 15:07 pmrofl whahahahahahah.
14 Mar 2009, 13:24 pmi think the lions should go through a total overhall. And should start with branding like the stormers did in 1999. Jo'burg Jets or something. Get in one or two high profile players. reinvent themselves…
A change in brand can change the whole psyche of the team, its supporters etc.
cummon, get rid of the old tranvaal colours…lion kuk…

Despite the ubiquitous nature of home improvement television programs and websites, many people are still afraid to tackle their own home renovations. There's a ton of good information out there on how to tackle thousands of individual projects in thousands of different ways, but how do you get to that 'big picture' moment? This article should help ease the feeling of being overwhelmed by your project and give you a place to start before you start watching the how-to videos and reading the DIY websites.
Getting motivated is probably the biggest step on the road to home renovation. The very concept of repairing and improving your own home can be very intimidating, but you have to start somewhere. This is perhaps the most daunting obstacle you'll overcome, so once you win this mental battle you'll be well on your way to a nicer home.
• Look for inspiration. Check out those DIY television shows, magazines and websites that show off those stunning before and after comparisons. Though your project won't look exactly like any of those, absorbing yourself in someone else's dazzling renovation success is a great start.
• Think of the time table—this isn't going to last forever. If you make a plan and get started, you'll be completely finished in a set amount of time.
• Keep the reward in mind. Parts of your renovation project are going to be unpleasant, but what's the main reason you're doing all of this? Concentrate on that light at the end of the tunnel.
• Just get started. Now that you're full on inspiration, you have a time table and you can picture the glorious outcome of your work it's time to get started.
Plan Ahead
You're motivated and ready to spring into action. That's great news. You don't want to rush headfirst into a brick wall or feet-first into a tank of hungry piranhas, so it's best to do some planning before you break out the drills and the paint.
• Make an exhaustive plan. This includes which project or projects you're tackling, exactly what you hope to accomplish and a time table. Things will come up and your time won't be used exactly how you envisioned, but you're going to save a ton of money and heartache this way. Don't make it up as you go.
• By all means, make a budget for your renovations. Do some research and plot it out the best that you can. You never want to feel like your home is a sinkhole that eats money and you never want to feel downtrodden because you went over budget.
• Kill two birds with one stone. If you have some bad wiring in the bedroom and you're redoing your drywall, why not fix the wiring while the wall is open? Be practical and efficient whenever you can. Opening that wall again at a later date is going to be even less fun.
• Practical, as mentioned above, should be a main priority. It might be tempting to paint every room purple with a neon green accent wall, but that's going to appeal to approximately 2 other people in the entire world if you ever try to sell the house. You can add a personal touch, but don't get too eccentric.
Take it Slow
Now that you have a plan, you're ready for the physical labor. You'll likely be tempted to run full-steam-ahead into the project, but that might create a lot more problems than it solves. You need to keep this project manageable and realistic.
• Take small steps. Break each daunting task into smaller tasks. You'll check them off quickly, feel accomplished and make real progress. Making the task feel manageable is just as important as the task actually being manageable.
• Don't put your ladder in a precarious position because it will save a few minutes or save a small step. If you get hurt you'll be so far behind that you'll be praying for those old inconveniences. Take some time for safety—no one wants you to get hurt in the name of shaving a few minutes off of your goal.
• You're a busy person. You probably have a job and a family. You have other worries. By all means, put a good amount of work and effort into your renovation project, but don't work for 8 hours a day, come home and renovate for 8 hours, sleep four hours and repeat the process. Both the renovation and the rest of your life will suffer for it.
Don't Burn Out
This one goes right along with taking it slow, but it needs to be mentioned as well. If you rush through your renovation like some sort of paintbrush-wielding human tornado you're going to get sick of things and lose all of that magical motivation we found in step 1.
• Take a break every once in a while. Don't exhaust yourself. Take a few minutes to have a glass of water, have a beer, watch TV, and walk the dog or whatever you like to do. You'll be refreshed and ready for more hard work.
• Reward yourself for hard work. This is more than a break, it's a day off, a meal at your favorite restaurant or anything else you don't get to enjoy very often.
• Don't isolate yourself. The next section will deal more with this, but don't totally cut yourself off from the outside world and social interactions. You may be covered in plaster but you're still a person.
Ask for Help
We started to touch upon this on the previous section, but there are times during the renovation process where you'll need a friend. Sharing your hard work (or misery, which sometimes might be the case) with another human being makes everything much more tolerable.
• Draft someone else for the especially tedious or difficult tasks. Even if they're just there to chat with and hold the ladder, you'll be especially glad that you've enlisted them.
• If you're not familiar with plumbing and you have a bathroom project to tackle, consider asking your plumber friend for help or advice. Don't let pride get in the way of making your life much easier.
• Remember that you're not paying your friends or family. Don't yell at them, don't snap at them and don't demand too much from them. Treat them well and have fun while you work. They'll be happy to lend a hand again.
• If a project is just too big, too complicated or too overwhelming you need to hire a contractor. There are a few things you just can't do yourself, so know your limits and be ready to fork over some money if it's something you just can't realistically do. It's not admitting defeat– it's using your brain.
Home renovation projects are something you can accomplish. Your home is a great investment and you'll always be searching for ways to make it just a little bit more perfect and livable. Remember that there are a ton of great tutorials on the Internet, in print and on television for you to use. These resources won't actually become valuable, however, until you learn how to use them.

are you using sysprep ? or are you deleting the drivers folders ?
Not using sysprep, using Driveforge, not deleting the drivers folder, either. Source is USB or CD, destination is folder at root of local system drive. Today I found that by modifying the registry back to the %systemroot%\INF folder, then restarting, then rediscovering hardware after removing the yellow exclamation points, it discovered them correctly. I don't know why, it seems like DriveForge maybe installed drivers for the monitor that didn't work correctly, then the default INF just made it a plug and play monitor, maybe, and that was better or something. Also, IDK why driverforge leaving the default driver folder to the uncompressed drivers means that it can't recognize things as simple as a USB key w/o changing it back to the INF folder.
Anyway, I can't really give the computer back to a client w/o switching the registry back to the INF folder, so that'll be cool when that tweak is done, IMO.
