"For 20 years or more I have suffered from chronic back pain. Having received prayer at Bexhill Healing Rooms I am pain free. This is awesome." - Trevor on November 21st, 2010 | |
"At the Healing Rooms in Bomaderry I was given great relief from dizziness and arthritis through prayer. Later I attended a Training Course in Healing at the Castle Hill Healing Rooms and was blessed to have my neck and back healed. I have no more constant pain. What a wonderful God we worship! Judy" - Judy V. on July 11th, 2012 | |
"Last year I suffered some severe back pain which grew so bad, that I was rushed to the ER one day from work. After an MRI, I was taken to get an epidural. The doctor said I had protruding discs on my L5 and L6 and a lot of arthritis. The epidural relieved the pain for months. In October I traveled to Italy and had to stop to do exercises to relieve the pain so I could continue. We were with a group and I asked them to go ahead and I would catch up. Some days I had to sit directly on the ground wherever I was to stretch and get myself out of pain - it was a temporary fix. The weekend after I came home I attended the Conejo Valley Healing Rooms Training on November 5. 2011. At the end of the day when the pastor invited anyone to come up for healing, I thought "why not'" and I walked up for prayer. I remember all the details vividly and there was nothing huge or strange or weird about it - just a man and woman I didn't know who asked if it was OK to put their hands on me and pray for healing. I agreed. The prayed twice for me and I felt a weakness and heat in my back. From that day until now - about 6 months, I have not had a pain or indication of any discomfort. I praise God for healing!" - Carol C. on June 6th, 2012 | |
"I was told that I had severe arthritis and would soon be in a wheel chair. I sought the Lord for healing and He healed me. I am doing great, no pain, all mobility back. Thank you." - Barbara C. on August 21st, 2008 | |
"God told me He would give me the key to unlock the burden/weight I've carried & haven't been able to lose, before we left Portland. Today I was healed of; arthritis in hands, head trauma, left knee cartilage worn out, neck & back stiffness, and hip pain. This was all a result of 38 years ago in a car accident without a seat belt in a head on collision with a concrete culvert. In the collision, my hands went through the windshield which resulted in numbness and arthritis off and on. (Tonight I felt heat and no more pain). I received a head trauma which resulted in foggyness and memory loss. Recently this has been much worse, but tonight it feels very clear as I felt something lift off. My knee was hurting during the speaker and now I have no pain or stiffness. My neck and back now feels relaxed with no pain. My hips would normally hurt with standing for more than 15 minutes and my outer thighs would go numb. Tonight I felt my pelvis shift and adjust & my stomach lift." - Marilyn I. on January 5th, 2012 | |

April 19, 2012
Review: Hyundai Azera perfectly parked in large sedan segment
In a quiet, forgotten corner of the automotive landscape there is a segment of vehicle called the large sedan. These cars tilt toward luxury but have a foot firmly planted in practicality and economics.
9:25 PM EST, November 9, 2011
VW puts testosterone in revamped 2012 Beetle
You have to hand it to Volkswagen.
September 24, 2011
Charger R/T: Dodge updates its feisty family car
I'm a big fan of the Dodge Charger, and it would be on my short list of four-door sedans if I were in the market for one. But the model I recommend is the one that starts at $25,395, and comes with the excellent new 3.6-liter, 292-horsepower Pentastar V-6, Chrysler's best V-6 in — well, forever.
10:00 PM EDT, August 31, 2011
2012 Volkswagen Passat: Germany's take on a big-ol' American car
An earthquake recently cracked the Washington Monument. Billionaire Warren Buffett wants to pay more taxes. Volkswagen is building a big-ol' American car.
August 20, 2011
VW aims the new Passat squarely at Honda and Toyota
Remember the 2011 Volkswagen Passat? Sorry, trick question — there wasn't one. But there's certainly a 2012 Passat, and it's prepared to make some noise, the way the new-for-2011 Volkswagen Jetta did.
5:45 PM EST, February 7, 2011
Restyled Toyota Avalon retains old-school appeal
With the introduction of the Toyota Avalon in 1995, replacing the Cressida, the company made it very easy for customers for whom a car is essentially an appliance. Toyota gives those customers three choices: small (the Corolla), medium (the Camry) and large (the Avalon).
10:56 PM EST, December 22, 2010
Volvo S60 T6 packs sporty power and safety features
A decade in the automotive industry is like the passing of the Mesozoic era; a lot changes. In 2001, Hyundais were questionable and Toyota was infallible. Pontiac, Oldsmobile and Plymouth existed. Scion did not. So it may come as a bit of a surprise that it's been 10 years since Volvo pulled an all-new S60 out of the oven.
November 25, 2010
2011 Kia Optima drives toward top of its class
You know you like a car when the only thing you would change is the hard, uncomfortable seats.
July 1, 2010
Test Drive: 2010 Nissan Altima 3.5 SR Coupe review
Altima coupe is fun, but more sporty than sports car
Two-door coupe versions of popular four-door sedans have been fading in popularity since designers figured out how to make four doors look sexy. Gone is the Toyota Solara, a two-door Camry. Ford has never sold a two-door version of the Taurus or Fusion, and Chevrolet's Monte Carlo, essentially a two-door Impala, lives on only in the memories of NASCAR fans. Honda still has a two-door Accord, but sales pale compared to the sedan.
October 11, 2009
Test Drive: 2010 Hyundai Genesis coupe
Jim Mateja: Hyundai Genesis coupe gets off to stylish start, but a little short on legroom, trunk space
The 2009 Hyundai Genesis sedan surprised many when it captured the North American Car of the Year award from the nation's automotive wordsmiths.
August 2, 2009
Test Drive: 2010 Ford Taurus Limited AWD
Jim Mateja: Taurus redo aims to recapture early success
Taurus captivated the public with its weird styling when introduced for 1986 and captured the auto sales crown from the Honda Accord.
June 10, 2010
Test Drive: 2010 Volvo C70 review
C70 convertible builds solid case for Volvo
It's sobering how close Volvo and Saab came to joining Mercury, Pontiac, Saturn, Hummer, Plymouth, Isuzu, Daewoo and Oldsmobile on the growing list of recently shuttered brands.
June 3, 2010
Test Drive: 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander GT S-AWC review
Outlander uses a lot of letters to spell OK
With its 2010 Outlander GT S-AWC, Mitsubishi explores not only the limits of alphabetical nomenclature but also whether Americans care about a crossover with a complex all-wheel-drive system designed to provide extra cornering power and traction under virtually all conditions.
3:57 PM EDT, May 6, 2010
Goofy Mitsubishi Ralliart defies convention
— Where have all the goofy cars gone? The cars that don't even make a drive-by of mainstream appeal before blasting full-throttle for weirdness. The cars that become cult favorites. Eccentric-looking and equipped with unusual features, they baffle most buyers but delight a few.
9:26 PM EDT, May 20, 2010
Mazdaspeed3: Who says a car can't be practical and fun?
Those of us who have been around for a while have learned that practicality and entertainment are often annoyingly mutually exclusive. The 2010 Mazdaspeed3 is a happy exception.
May 6, 2010
Ford is thinking big with its little Fiesta
Whether it's date night at the El Pollo Loco or trading clothes at a swap, it's never been so hip to live econo. Now Ford is hoping to capitalize on the trend with a new take on an old car designed for the fashionably frugal — and young.
January 11, 2009
Jim Mateja: TL joins Acura's AWD charge
The flagship Acura RL sedan now has an all-wheel-drive companion for 2009: the midsize TL sedan that adds AWD for security when roads are wet and snowy and sure-footedness when they're dry.
March 4, 2010
Test Drive: 2010 Nissan Altima 2.5 S sedan
Jim Mateja: Revamped 2010 Nissan Altima retains good looks, affordability
A variety of vehicles have enjoyed their day in the sun: Wagons until they gave way to minivans, which gave way to SUVs, which bowed to crossovers.
January 19, 2010
Jim Mateja: Volkswagen GTI appeals to fast crowd
The Volkswagen GTI is an acquired taste, like skydiving, bronco riding, sword swallowing or watching the Cubs and Bears.
January 10, 2010
Test Drive: 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour review
Jim Mateja: Honda keeping upscale in-house
An upscale Honda Accord.
October 18, 2009
Test Drive: 2010 Suzuki Kizashi
Jim Mateja: Suzuki Kizashi is big on excitement, accessories
October 4, 2009
Test Drive: 2010 Subaru Legacy
Jim Mateja: A better Legacy for Subaru buyers
All you have to do is ask.
September 13, 2009
Test Drive: 2010 Buick LaCrosse CXS
Jim Mateja: LaCrosse leading off new Buick lineup
General Motors' cupboards aren't bare.
August 16, 2009
Test Drive: 2010 Ford Mustang V-6 Premium convertible
Jim Mateja: Mustang slow out of gate
Chevy Camaro made its long-awaited return for the 2010 model year, prompting Ford to tweak Mustang. Who says you can't teach a 45-year-old pony new tricks?
May 31, 2009
Test Drive: 2009 Nissan 370Z coupe
New 370Z flashes Japanese muscle
Chevy has the Camaro; Ford, the Mustang; Dodge, the Challenger.
May 16, 2009
Test Drive: 2010 Honda Insight EX
Greater Insight
Honda offered the first hybrid in the U.S., the Insight, which bowed in December 1999.
May 10, 2009
Test Drive: 2009 Hyundai Elantra Touring
Elantra Touring does most everything right
The 2009 Hyundai Elantra Touring unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show in February is now in showrooms, a sporty hatchback companion to the somewhat more formal compact Elantra sedan.
March 22, 2009
Test Drive: 2010 Chevy Camaro
Jim Mateja: Camaro-o-h-h-h: Coupe hits showrooms
PLYMOUTH, Mich.—Three years since the concept bowed at the 2006 Detroit Auto Show, the Camaro coupe hits showrooms this week.
February 22, 2009
Jim Mateja: Even non-hybrid Fusion a pleasant diversion
The 2010 Ford Fusion offers all the flavors.
June 1, 2008
Test Drive: BMW X6 35i review
Jim Mateja: Strange BMW straight out of X-Files
The BMW X6 looks like a military weapon, with a front end that appears ready to take a chomp out of anything that gets in its way.
August 31, 2008
Test Drive: 2009 Acura RL
Jim Mateja: Electronic wizardry comes standard on 2009 Acura RL
If you want to know what the weather will be three days from now or whether there's an accident three blocks from here, the 2009 Acura RL is at your service.
December 28, 2008
Test Drive: 2009 Toyota Matrix
Jim Mateja: Unearthing the secrets of the Matrix
The Toyota Matrix and Pontiac Vibe are fraternal twins, basically the same car with different looking skin.
November 30, 2008
Test Drive: 2009 Pontiac G5
Jim Mateja: Pontiac builds m.p.g. excitement
Pontiac has trouble deciding what it wants to be when it grows up.
August 17, 2008
Test Drive: 2009 Honda Pilot
Jim Mateja: Unyielding Pilot running on all 3, 4, 6 cylinders
When a vehicle controls the number of cylinders in use based on its need for more or less power, you'd think the automaker would shout it from the highest mountain—especially with gas prices rising like CEO salaries.
June 8, 2008
Test Drive: 2009 Toyota Corolla
Jim Mateja: Corolla at 40: A little wider, more solid
The Toyota Corolla has survived more than 40 years since its 1968 U.S. debut.
April 5, 2008
Test Drive: 2009 Mitsubishi Galant
Jim Mateja: Mitsubishi's gallant effort comes up short
Sometimes it takes more than a pretty face and shapely body to attract attention—at least in the auto industry.

Planning a family vacation? Free factory tours can make for great vacation fun, especially when the company manufactures something kids like. (Plus free samples never hurt.)
MRS. GROSSMAN'S (Petaluma, Calif.) - Kids and "scrapbookers" know and love this sticker company. Your family can see what's behind the fuss during a free factory tour of the bright and colorful plant that prints 15,000 miles of stickers every year. The tour begins with a video narrated by the owner's dog Angus and concludes with a free sticker art class and a gift bag stuffed with stickers. The gift shop sells all of the company's 700 sticker designs. Reservations are recommended. Call (800) 429-4549 or go to www.MrsGrossmans.com for details.
TILLAMOOK CHEESE (Tillamook, Ore.) - Visitors are treated to a free tour, showcasing the entire cheese-making process from cow to mouth. There are interactive kiosks providing nutritional information that kids of all ages can enjoy. As visitors reach the end of the tour, they are treated to samples of Tillamook's famous cheese. For more information and tour times, go to www.tillamookcheese.com.
JELLY BELLY FACTORY (Fairfield, Calif.) - Step into the factory and smell the aroma of chocolate, apricot, cinnamon or pineapple, whatever is being cooked up that day. The Jelly Belly candy-making factory is about an hour's drive north of San Francisco. During the 40-minute walking tour, you'll learn the secrets to how they create the legendary Jelly Belly bean, and discover why it takes more than a week to make a single bean. Verify dates and hours of operation before planning your visit. Go to www.jellybelly.com or call (800) 953-5592.
BASIC BROWN BEAR FACTORY (San Francisco) - The Basic Brown Bear Factory is one of the few remaining manufacturers of stuffed animals left in the United States. All of its toys are cut and sewn right on the premises. After the tours, visitors can select their own unstuffed bears from dozens of styles; then stuff, groom and dress them. The bears start at $9 and the daily tours are free. Call (415) 931-6670 or go to www.basicbrownbear.com for specific tour schedules.
BEN AND JERRY'S ICE CREAM (Waterbury, Vt.) - Last year, 275,000 ice cream fans toured this facility. Not bad for a company launched in 1978 in a renovated gas station. As visitors soon learn, it's not just about ice cream - there's a social mission behind Ben & Jerry's. Thirty-minute tours are offered daily, beginning with a seven-minute video, continuing on to the tour mezzanine, where you watch ice cream production. If production is down, a narrated video will fill in the details. The tour ends at the Scoop Shop, where guests try old favorites like Cherry Garcia, and possibly test-drive a new flavor. More information can be found at www.benjerry.com.
There are so many other great factory tours in every state of the United States. Find a list by state at www.factorytoursUSA.com.

... There's a consistency across the reds from the flagship Old Adam to the Tamblyn blend, and all show excellent regional character. The current vintage is up with the best of the Selkirks: vibrant, ripe redcurrant and dark plum flavours; well-integrated vanillin oak; fleshy, almost syrupy texture, before a lively, approachable finish. Gourmet Traveller Wine
Learn MoreI don't know what they're doing at Kirrihill – but they're not making a $20 wine. - OK, so it needs some time. The acid needs to settle, the tannin needs to relax, it all just needs to knit together some more. But the purity of fruit – blackcurrant, dust, brambly blackberries – and the firm seriousness of the finish mark it clearly as something other than a mere quaffer. A touch of chocolatey oak completes the picture. Good bones here. Rated : 92+ Points Winefront.com.au
Learn Morea complex mixture of ripe blackberry and plum fruit with a dash of creamy vanillin oak. The palate is medium to full bodied which starts with some sweet plummy fruit, the flavour then builds in the palate to provide an explosion of raspberry flavours. There is some lovely mouth coating tannins which combine with dark chocolate oak and fruit to provide a great depth and length of flavour.
Learn MoreMade by the unflappable Javier Murua. Almost entirely tempranillo but co-fermented with a smidge of grenache. Sees a small portion of old French and American oak. Elegant yet characterful and then punchy through the finish. Has structure. Has a big dry finish. Licorice and cherry and twiggy sinewy almost-bitter notes. Chicory too. A grunty wine. Will be a handy drinking option through the cooler months. Like it. 90 points Winefront
Learn MoreMedium crimson-purple; the plush red berry fruit and oak aromas lead into a multi-layered textural palate, with plum and more savoury fruit set within the subtle French and American oak in which the wine was matured. This is indeed a serious merlot at a laughable price. 92 points James Halliday Top 100 Wines

Ruan's big Bok chance
25 May 2006
Springbok assistant coach Allister Coetzee admits there is a slight problem on the wings, but is thrilled with his choices at No 9.
The Bok backline for the opening international of the year is slowly taking shape, but one position which is far from settled is scrumhalf. A plethora of skilled halfbacks – amazingly all fit – present a pleasant selection conundrum for Coetzee and co.
With Fourie du Preez, Bolla Conradie, Ricky Januarie and Ruan Pienaar all fighting for the starting spot, it may be the Sharks man that gets his first Springbok cap. Pienaar has been a revelation this season and certainly deserves an opportunity ahead of more seasoned campaigners whose wares are well documented.
While the other three have been tested at international level, the World XV match presents Pienaar with an ideal chance to find his feet. "We are blessed at scrumhalf," Coetzee told keo.co.za, "and we are still working out our options. On paper certain combinations work, but when put into practice deficiencies are shown up."
Coetzee firmly believes the stop-gap wings – Gaffie du Toit and Andre Snyman – will not let the side down in the absence of out-and-out wingers such as Bryan Habana, Tonderai Chavhanga, Ashwin Willemse and Breyton Paulse.
It is a view shared by White, who is known to favour versatile backs. "Specialists are not essential. Pace is not a problem with these guys and they bring some extra bulk to the equation,†Coetzee said.
When questioned on the options at the base of the scrum, Coetzee produces a broad smile. South Africa is arguably better equipped in this position than any other country at the moment.
The one thing the Boks of 2006 are doing is focussing on the finer details of the game. "Jake has worked hard in the off season to find new ways to improve aspects of our play. And this year he has made it important to get the little things right first."
Meanwhile, Cheetahs prop Jannie du Plessis, who was called to the Bok camp as a precautionary measure following the slew of injuries to front-rowers, may also get a chance to play against the World XV.
Despite not featuring in White's original 45-man squad, Du Plessis may be used after losing CJ van der Linde to a fractured leg and BJ Botha to a sore neck. Also, Lawrence Sephaka is not match-sharp and Eddie Andrews is nursing a damaged shoulder. Os du Randt and Gurthro Steenkamp are already out.

25 May 2006, 06:39 amAllister Coetzee should be sent home …
25 May 2006, 06:58 am"argueably" Andrew Ellis, Byron Kelleher, Kevin Senio and Piri Weepu are "better Equipment" than those 4 half backs. Satistics would say so for 2006 s14 anyway, for all they're worth
25 May 2006, 06:59 amJannie du Plessis what thoughts on him?
25 May 2006, 07:01 amwhy is coetzee with the boks? he is a knobhead!!!
25 May 2006, 07:23 amStoffel, I personally think Jannie is a great propect at tighthead. He is heavier more aggresive at breakdowns and possibly stronger than BJ anyway.
BJ's advantage is his height or lack thereof though which enables him to get under his opponent. Short tightheads always come out on top.
Jannie is far better than Eddie or Sephaka anyway and should have been there from the beginning.
25 May 2006, 07:29 amAgreed Ice
Jannie du Plessis does look a fine prospect and shouldn't let any side down.There must be some concern about Free State front-rankers being able to play a full match,it would be a shock to their systems after Rassie's keep 'em fresh tactics!!!
25 May 2006, 07:49 amwhat happens if jannie gets an injury? do you think cobus visagie is the answer?
25 May 2006, 07:59 amHow is possible that Sepahka is not fit after a s14 season. YES I know he did not start in most games but surely he trained with the CATS?
Perhaps his committment is not what it should be and that is why he did not start? — I will never understand why a man with world in ruigby as his oyster, does not take this opportunity with both hands — eish
25 May 2006, 07:59 amI would love to see Pienaar get a chance to show his skills behind the Bok pack. This guys got class and im sure could become a superstar.
25 May 2006, 08:02 amWhy do we need bulk on the wings? Is this the attitude of a Bok Backline Coach?!!
South Africa will lose ground in the pace department. Who cares about bulk, if you are going to be outpaced all the time. France have some of the lightest players in the backline. Only recently have they gotten some bulkier players. But on any day, I'd back the french backline to outplay any other backline.
25 May 2006, 08:06 amThe Backline I'd rather see against the World XV is:
15.) Percy Montgomery
14.) Andre Snyman
13.) Jacque Fourie
12.) Jean de Villiers
11.) Brent Russel
10.) Meyer Bosman
9.) Ruan PienaarAnd Forwards:
8.) AJ Venter
7.) Juan Smith
6.) Schalk Burger
5.) Victor Matfield
4.) Danie Rossouw
3.) Eddie Andrews
2.) Gary Botha
1.) Deon Carstens -
25 May 2006, 08:09 amLack of transformation there RugbyStudent. Will have to go with Ricky or Bolla at scrumhalf to make up the numbers.
25 May 2006, 08:18 amAlister coetzee is a liability, and should only be used to carry tackle bags, thankfully they have brought in the aussie to overide any **** decision he makes. Suddenly he's an expert
with cats coaching credentials. Agreed he should be sent home -
25 May 2006, 08:28 amRugbystudent
Given the injury crisis, I cannot think of one change I would make to that team. Good one.
25 May 2006, 08:28 amFinally somebody has confirm that janiie is in the bok setup… something i've been talking for two days now. Yet nobody listened, nobody knew anything.
Anyway good that Jannie is there, at least there is considerable hope that the tight five might fair against the world's XV tight five. There are some great new prospects, and this underexpeienced for now team definitely can pull out a win in that match. Although the forward pack will be different into the world XV match. Jannie at tighthead, Eddie is injured, and now after Sephaka is also riddle with a small injury, deon comes in. One of the locks will rather be Muller or Bekker. And we might see Wickus play for this match, AJ rested a bit for th efuture, with Joe playing 8. time will tell.
hey tsiko, please shut up. RugbyStudent's squad is definitely the best we have so far after the terrible injury omen.
25 May 2006, 08:29 amPitty Bret Barrit is not in the squad. I think that he is a better 10 than Bosman.
25 May 2006, 08:31 amWho is you captain Student?
25 May 2006, 09:03 amRugby student…nice team…..I do wonder about Bosman. Its funny that Jaco has just had a bad game and he is written off again. He made a big diffs in the position of Roets' when he got back and has played more good games than bad. Bosman is not proven. Even tho Jaco has been playing fullback he would shade Bosman IMO.
I like Carstens a lot.
You could also let Danie come off the bench,have AJ at lock and give Wickus his bok gametime ,see if he can do it…..even let him try his hand as kaptein ,see if the senior boks will respond to him.
Bulky no so fast wings !!!!!!!??
Havent we been hearing the comment from all and sundry that "there's no substitute for speed" ?
Look at Frikkie Welsh's bulky addition and how things goyt worse when Akona and Brian were dropped/chganged wings respectively.
Hasnt Habana's pace been somnething that has been the difference for the boks and Bulls on a number of occasions.
The other teams will know exactly where to target us. Both these boys are pretty good and im happier with gaffie in the side,but hell man,we need specialist wings who have a few of the other skills…..catching high balls,an OK kick and the abilty to read a game.Why leave introducing JP Pietersen or the Ndungane's to the bok setup for later. All 3 of these guys have the above abilities and vision and the abilty to join the line.If they are not the finished article,well then thats whjat coaches are for…get em started.Our old hero's are going to keep getting injuries and you dont want a new boy thrown in when it really matters. get em started now. Lets have a new sensation developed this season ! -
25 May 2006, 09:04 amJannie!Jannie!Jannie!Jannie!Jannie!Jannie!
mmmm,but even if he has the game of his life will he be picked against the 'big guns'- NZ,AUS? I dought it. -
25 May 2006, 09:44 amricane,
Ha ha
Except for marshall you guys have no scrumhalves who are anything special at 9. Ellis, senio, weepu… oooooooooooooooooooh.
Were **** scared of those gamebreakers
25 May 2006, 10:03 amStill can't fathom anyone, other than opposing sides, relishing the fact that Gaffie is back in the fold!
25 May 2006, 10:11 amAs an ex tighthead I rate Jannie du Plessis as our best nr3. The man can play
25 May 2006, 10:30 ambryce
Not exactly over the moon about gaffie,but becoz I never saw Snyman for Leeds I remember him ending crapply for the boks and this is why im happier about Gaffie than about Snyman.Its a comparison thing.
Also it seems Snyman was great for Leeds ,but who are Leeds and their opposition in comparison to Boks and their opposition. Does playingb well in the English league equate to internaional duty vs Oz,Nz,France?? -
25 May 2006, 10:36 amplaying 2 fullbacks (gaffie and russell) on the wing is of no disadvantage to us, as the two positions have effectively been interchangable in recent years, and russel and gaffie have the required pace. if a worst case scenario occurs though, we'll simply have to break up the centre pairing of JdV and JF, as they both have what it takes to play wing.
the twins though are not an option, great as they are in provincial tournaments they don't offer anything special to make an international team. anyone remember how kak they were when they first came onto the provincial scene? if they took so long to get used to currie cup and super rugby, they'll take a helluva long time to get used to test rugby, and we don't really have time to nurture them in the frame anyway.
i would put fourie on the wing (he's played fullback and is solid under the highball) and play snyman at outside. problem solved, kapeesh -
25 May 2006, 11:51 amAli.h, some players develop later than others – they have got the experience and there is absolutely zero reason to believe that garbage posted in your message.
In that case Jaco should never have been chosen for the Boks because he was a late developer too.
25 May 2006, 12:00 pmbunce, last yr when chester williams was the coach of the cats and he failed he was the only one who got the chop and also got criticized..this despite the fact that he had Rassie as a forwards coach and Brendan venter assisted with the backs. No one was critical of them. Now Ludicrous was coach along with Coetzee who assisted with the backs and now he is still getting criticized… It is not as if the backline coach has all the say about the moves. Do you really think a coach is going to give the backline coach free reign to do as he pleases? At the end of the day the coach will inveriably get the boot and maybe his assistants as well…
25 May 2006, 12:44 pmmikey,
jaco made his debut in 2000 while in his early twenties, this despite being in a kak bulls side. it was injuries that kept him sidelined, not form, but that's besides the point. the world cup is next year and there isn't time to develop players for test match quality anymore. yes they are solid players but how many of their tries have been scored out of individual brilliance? not many. in most cases they have simply finished off moves created by those on the inside.
and they have consistently been shown up by aussie and kiwi wingers in this years s14, despite both of them being in SA's 2 top performing teams. -
25 May 2006, 14:40 pmget visagie in at prop.
25 May 2006, 14:49 pmI thought this was not an official test. do the Springboks then get (test)caps for this?
25 May 2006, 14:58 pmRUGBYSTUDENT I think the Bulk issue is based on how England won the last world cup, Remember worldcup rugby is miles different to year in year out test rugby. the Games become tighter and that is where strength comes to play.
Jake White knows what he has in Habana -
25 May 2006, 15:27 pmCoetzee is a muppet and should be sent home and be done with. look what happened to the cats when they were left in his hands!
25 May 2006, 18:18 pmagree comment 21,bryce in oz,gaffies excuse after our Boks got hammered 27-0 by the All Blacks "no one really explained the running and defensive lines to me" and thats coming from a senior BOK,lol
25 May 2006, 18:20 pmhow would RUSSEL be at flyhalf,i reckon he`d be a real handfull !nice team Rugby student
26 May 2006, 02:31 amruan will enjoy this game against marshall, hopefully marshall isnt up to his usual dirty tricks and stomp on ruans hands.
snyman, although in a week side leeds, was pretty good. snyman and marshall were the only attack the leeds team had. snyman looked for work all over the place, his defence was sound.
an outside center has got to have pace, so all of those who reckon snyman not fast enough for wing shouldnt be considered for #13 then.
the grounds up north are heavy and the difference between snyman and say habana over 50m would be almost nothing. snyman if i recall correctly was absolutely massive on defence when he previously played for boks before breking his ankle. im really glad that jake has got him into the setup. agree he mite not start in the big games, but is worthy of being in the 22. paulse would get my pick to start. he is sound in defensive lines, is very clever defender and his attacking lines are also smart. and huge positive he can kick well, very well. a winger that percy needs since habana hasnt proved kicking class yet.
our team needs guys like snyman, percy, paulse, os, vic and AJ to give direction and calmness out on the field. in a way jake is doing a sir clive in that he is equiping the team with old steady heads for the big tight games. the smarts and workhorse attitudes will win us a world cup. this is what we are building for. add to that the young talent in ruan and olivier and burger and we gonna be a great side in a season time.

Return of the Jedi was an important short for me personally. The first short that really put HISHE on the map was Star Wars, A New Hope. In a way, star wars helped mold the HISHE brand. Although it wasn't the first HISHE, it was the first short that really established the style of shorts we'd produce from then on. So it symbolizes really the beginning of HISHE as a whole. But Jedi is also personally a monumental flick for me. Jedi was the first film I saw in a theater. And not this special edition stuff I'm talking about when it was new. I had seen starwars, but Jedi was the first movie theater experience I ever had. So looking back now remembering that fact, that explains a lot in regards to the stress and importance I put on this short with my desire to make it good.
This short took me through the ringer. There was always an intention to make 3 Star Wars Spoofs, a trilogy, but like the predecessors the challenge of creating SW jokes that haven't been done before felt like an impossible feat. And as if the trilogy isn't controversial enough with all the constant changes and re-edits, what side do we pick? Original Trilogy? Special Edition? There's so much to think about, so many possibilities. Well... you've got one month, so pick a direction and go. So that's what we did. In then end I absolutely love this short. With all of the personal things happening in the HISHE circle a short of this scale shouldn't have been possible, but somehow it fell into place, and that makes me love it even more.
Special thanks go to: Sam Johnson, for coming back and giving us his Vader voice, as well as a fantastic Anakin.
Tina Alexander, for being princess Leia in-spite of her busy schedule with her newborn.
Brock Baker, for his Han Solo and multiple other cast voices. He sent me voices at the drop of a hat and brings so much character to this short.
Adrian Neely, for sounding so much like Samuel L. Jackson it scares me, who also sent his voice at a moments notice and saved the day.
And last, Bryan English, who writes music for our shorts, but has continuously created music without seeing a single frame of video lately. He made all of the music for this short without even knowing the script. All he had was some brief descriptions and some soundtrack references. The final product is outstanding.
So I couldn't have asked for a better way to kick off our HISHE year. Thank you all that helped me finish this short. It has been a jam packed last few weeks. People having babies, People going on Trips, People getting sick, people recovering... I didn't think we'd make it. And with all the previously stated pressure to make Jedi a memorable short, I think it's safe to say it was definitely that. I'm so pleased. With that, I hope others enjoy the short as well.
Thanks for watching/reading this silly little post.
This is definetely one of the best I've seen you do. Great great job! spot on with armour that doesn't seem to stand a chance against teddy bears and Luke seeing other versions of Vader. Why was Anakin always cast with terribly irritating actors?
I was laughing throughout the whole thing, especially the part at the end with the ghosts. Awesome.
I think the joke about the design flaw of the new Death Star might have been done on Robot Chicken already though (or maybe Family Guy, I can't remember).
Anyway, keep up the great work.
Just a followup, it's showing Jaws rather than any other video I click from the main page. Also does not show anything newer than Jaws. I like Jaws n' all, just would like to see the new fruit of your labors. So....guess I'll go watch Jaws now! :)
It almost looks like a bunch of videos got deleted. Fortunately they're all still posted on YouTube.

My wife and I happened across Max's Burgers on 8th Ave the other day, and we're glad we did! What attracted us first was the phrase "bacon marmalade" that was mentioned on the menu board outside. Bacon marmalade??
We ordered the British Columbian burger to share. This has an AA Alberta chuck patty, bacon marmalade, applewood smoked bacon, cheddar, lettuce, tomato, pickles, red onion and sauce on a house-baked brioche bun.
Everything about this burger was delicious – the meat was tender and tasty, the bun soft and fresh, the bacon marmalade and Big Max sauce adding some depth of flavour not often found in a burger. The hand-cut fries were pretty darn good too!
We decided to indulge in one of the personal sized cakes each for dessert. I opted for a Black Forest Cake and my wife chose the Carrot Cake.
The cakes were awesome – fresh, delicious, and just the right size.
The manager, Travis, came and spoke to us as he recognized us from a previous place he worked. He ended up giving us a guided tour of the massive production bakery that operates underneath the restaurant – no wonder their buns and cakes are so awesome!
Although I wasn't in the mood for a bier this particular evening, I did note that they have a selection of BC craft brews available from R & B and Russel.

The Cheetahs lived up to their pre-tournament favourites tag when they beat a determined Bulls team 26-19 on Day One at the PL Sevens in George.
In a ding-dong battle the lead changed hands several times, before a late winner by retired BlitzBok Philip Burger gave the Cheetahs the win.
However, the star of the match was new Springbok Raymond Rhule, who scored two tries and created the winner for the Cheetahs.
The other game that had the crowd on their collective feet saw the Sharks edge Western Province 24-22 with a late winner - a suggestion that the Sharks, the domestic inter-provincial champions, could challenge the Cheetahs for top honours.
Kaizer Chiefs opened their Sevens debut with a 22-14 win over the Lions.
In other early matches the All Stars beat the Boland Cavaliers 26-12, the Mighty Mohicans fought back from a 0-17 at half-time to beat the Vikings 26-24 and the Samurai (effectively South Africa's back-up squad to the BlitzBokke) edged the Living Ball 19-12.
The All Stars got the action underway with the opening try, scored by Juan Swanepoel, after good work from the likes of Ben Gollings, Stefan Basson and Zar Lawrence. Philip van Zyl pulled one back for Boland, but JW Jonker hit back immediately with a score after a chip-'n-chase to make it 12-5 at the half-time break. Dewald Pretorius scored first after the break, as the All Stars raced clear. Danwell Demas wrapped it up with the Stars' fourth try. Boland managed a consolation score after the full-time hooter, but it was too little too late - 26-12 to the All Stars.
In Game Two Shane Spring opened the scoring with a long-range try that started inside the Vikings' own 22 - with Spring both the creator and finisher. Fabian Juries then turned the clock back to his BlitzBok days, when he scored the Vikings' second and third five-pointers to make it 17-0 at the break. Mark Winter got the Mohicans on the board soon after the restart and then Andre Smit got them back into the contest with a second five-pointer. Josh Basingthwaighte scored the third try for the Mohicans, as they took the lead (19-17) three minutes into the second half. The Vikings awoke from their slumber, with a try by Anthony Volmink, but a try and conversion after the hooter gave the Mohicans a great come-from-behind 26-24 win.
The Bulls got underway with a controlled start that saw Travis Ismaiel open the scoring, before Johann Sadie getting one back for the Cheetahs. Raymond Rhule then got in on the act, before Clayton Blommetjies pulled one back for the Bulls to make it 14-12 to the Cheetahs at the break. Rhule started the second-half scoring with some sublime stepping and creative play by Sadie, but Christiaan de Bruin again hit back for the Bulls to tie it up at 19-all with less than a minute left on the clock. Philip Burger scored the winner, after Rhule set him up for a 60-metre sprint to the line.
Werner Kok opened the Scoring for the Samurai, after some great stepping by Justin Geduld, but Dirk Dippenaar got one back for the Living Ball outfit - leaving the teams level 7-all at the break. Alshaun Bock put the Living Ball into the lead, before Justin Geduld pulled one back for the Samurai - giving them a 14-12 lead with three minutes left on the clock. Albertus Kwagga Smith sealed the deal for Samurai with a strong run up the middle - 19-12 the final score.
Junior Bester opened the scoring for Kaizer Chiefs, after a patient build-up, but the Lions hit straight back through Jacques Nel. Shuaib Samaai then put the Chiefs back in the lead, giving them a 12-7 lead at the break. Ross Cronje scored to put the Lions in the lead with three minutes left on the clock, before Elmo Thomas regained the lead for the Chiefs. Jongi Nokwe sealed it for the Chiefs with a late score - 22-14
The Sharks wasted no time to open their account, Mzo Mbona cutting through the WP defence for the first try. Tim Swiel got one back for Province and scored a second as WP took a 12-7 lead. Peet Coetzee scored after the hooter to draw level, 12-all, at the break. Mzo Mbona got his second try, as the Sharks took the lead almost straight from the restart, before Chevandre van Schoor pulled it level midway through the second half. Dean Hammond put Province back in the lead with less than a minute left on the clock, but Mbona completed his hat-trick after the hooter - the conversion giving the Sharks a 24-22 win.

While most parts of the country haven't seen the first snowflake, there is a flurry of holiday hiring underway. In fact, most of these hiring decisions will be made before Thanksgiving.
See also: 6 more steps to landing a holiday job.
Macy's, for example, recently announced it will hire 80,000 seasonal associates for the 2012 holiday season, and other usual suspects, such as Wal-Mart, Target and Toys R Us, are pumping up their rosters too.
Employers are bullish about holiday hiring this year, according to outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas. "Last year, retailers added just over 660,000 workers. This year, that figure could approach 700,000," says Chief Executive John A. Challenger.
That's jolly good news. For many retirees and job-hunting 50-plus workers looking for a temporary gig, the holiday season is a perfect time to pull in some extra income. And you have what employers are looking for: They're eager to hire someone who is responsible and reliable.
Plus, you never know. Your temporary gig can lead to future employment after the holiday rush dies down. You've got a foot in the door, demonstrated your capability and built a rapport.
If you're interested in looking for a holiday job, here's how you get started.
1. Cast a wide net. At retailers, there's a seasonal demand not only for sales clerks, but for customer service helpers, cashiers, stockroom workers, package wrappers, product demonstrators, online and call service representatives, distribution center associates and, of course, Santas and elves, too.
And retailers aren't the only ones looking. You may also find openings at restaurants as greeters, wait staff and bartenders. Package delivery firms such as UPS and FedEx are swamped with a surge in demand and hire accordingly. Small boutiques, mall kiosks, catering companies and florists add staff at this time of year.
2. Use your network. Ask friends and family members who work at companies that add seasonal workers for a heads up if they know positions may be available.
3. Play the familiarity card. At slack times, stop by businesses where you're already a customer and talk to the person in charge of hiring seasonal helpers. Knowing you're already a loyal fan of the business can make it easier to add you to the team.

World Refugee Awareness Month (June 2012)
The NCTSN invites you to join us in observing World Refugee Awareness Month and, on June 20th, World Refugee Awareness Day. In doing so, we focus on the millions of refugees who live around the globe, recognizing their plight as well as their valuable contributions to our communities.
Traumatized refugee children and their families must deal with their past traumatic experiences while integrating into a new and unfamiliar society. They must look for safety in an alien culture, and ask for help in a nonnative language. Children and their families who have experienced war-related trauma and disruption also suffer burdens associated with resettlement such as poverty, unemployment, stigmatization, and bias.
See below for a listing of helpful resources related to the needs of refugee children and families.

Children of War: A Video for Educators
A powerful video presentation in which refugee youth tell their own stories about the experience of war. Recommended for educators and others who work with immigrant and refugee youth and children.

Serenity – The Movie
Sci-fi movies certainly have a lot of fans all over the world, thus the big buzz around Serenity the movie, released by Universal Pictures in 2005. The movie is actually a continuation of the sci-fi TV series from Fox, called Firefly. The action from the movie takes place after the events from the fine episode of the TV series. The movie is a catching, fun combination of a western, transported in the future. It's the story of a space ship and its cruise taking a very strange passenger on board, a passenger mentally and psychically conditioned by the government (called the Alliance). The new passenger is the starting point of a whole series of adventures and surprises. Although human race moved to another solar system, their problems seem to look a lot like ours: corrupt governments, lies and betrayals.
Serenity the movie – action and plot
We're in 2518 and humanity moved to a different solar system. The main planets are controlled by the government, called the Alliance. When it comes to the outer planets, it's frontier justice and the "Reavers" – very violent, almost sub-human groups, terrorize the population. When the starship Serenity takes two passengers along – Simon and his sister River – they will be drawn into a series of events that will finally uncover the dark secret of the government. The Reavers are actually the results or an experiment. A toxin was released on the planet called Miranda, which killed about 90 percent of the population, and the ones that survived became extremely violent. The members of Serenity crew, Simon and River (River being another victim or government experiments) decide to tell the world what they discovered, even if it might cost them their lives. Do people have life insurance in 2518? The end of the movie suggests a sequel. The sequel never turned into reality, much to the disappointment of the fans.
Is Serenity the movie suitable for a family night?
If you are planning a family night at home and you want to rent a movie, Serenity the movie might be a good idea, if your children are 12 years of age or older. The movie contains some rowdy action, specific both to western and science fiction conventions: fist fights, guns, explosions and so on. Also, there are some sexual references and mild cursing. Still, the film is suitable for children that are 12 years of older. The movie offers you the possibility to talk with your children about loyalty, devotion to certain causes, community and ideals. In the same time, the movie is a pretty entertaining science fiction movie, and it offers you the pretext for a great night with your entire family.

The Laurinburg City Council took time this week to define the city's role in economic development in Scotland County.
When the dust settled on Tuesday's extended discussion, it was agreed that the city would continue to support various organizations involved in economic development and would seek to expand its marketing presence.
Council also agreed that improved roads and water access were keys to economic development.
"We should continue to be good partners with (groups like the Laurinburg-Scotland County Area Chamber of Commerce, the Economic Development Corporation, the Laurinburg Downtown Revitalization Committee and others)," said Councilwoman Mary Jo Adams.
Adams also said the city should continue to invest in infrastructure.
"There are a lot of roads that could use major repairs," Adams said, adding that such upgrades aid in business recruitment.
The discussion was driven by Mayor Tommy Parker, who came to the meeting seeking an outline of Laurinburg's role in economic development ahead of a Nov. 7 county "stakeholders" meeting.
At the stakeholders' October meeting, the participating groups agreed to report back next month with a description of their respective roles in economic development.
"We're just trying to get some momentum," said Parker of the stakeholders group.
But Councilman Curtis Leak advised a slow approach, saying that he "believes we are going to have to be very cautious with how we spend our money."
Leak also said that in its expanded marketing efforts the city should attempt to appeal to individuals looking to relocate as a place with "high quality of life."
Councilman J.D. Willis agreed.
"Marketing is great, but you have got to have some sort of plan so you don't spend a lot of money and find yourself in a hole."
Parker praised Willis for "having more experience with industry recruitment than everyone in this room," and asked the former county commissioner for his opinion on marketing efforts.
Willis responded by saying that proper marketing could make Laurinburg a destination not only for industry, but for smaller businesses and individuals.
While the meeting did help the city clarify its role, Parker and Councilman Kenton Spencer each pointed out that the definition could change at any point in the future.
"In the end what we will need to decide is whether we will be amplifiers or actuators — we have to have a coherent approach," Spencer said.
Hesitating to put too specific a label on the city's role, Councilman Drew Williamson said that Laurinburg's influence is wider than some other organizations.
"We are the population and retail sales center, and we will continue to focus on downtown … (but) our role is more broad. The message should be that we are in the game (of economic development) and that we consider it critical."

hey great stuff! i like you're use of lighting and motion. I really liked the evolution of you're "main character" it's always great to see how things change over time!
Very nice Cold! Your character poses really shift attention directly where you want it and I love the room designs! I can tell you ahve a good sense of lighting just by the way the light filters through the windows on some...
great sketchbook
Hey man long time no speak. Torsos look good - as far as I can tell. How are your 3d efforts coming along?
Here a link the artist, Justin Albers, who inspired me and my mate aaron to draw a barrel.
And heres my attempts
and here are aaron's attempts and his sketchbook
This lil sketch motivated me to draw loads again, HOWEVER I am currently involved with my 3D modelling for Dominance WAR 3 compotition.
YEEEOOOZA! that bow staff arial perspective character is the ILLLEST!! Fresh execution!
cool quick sketch~
really nice stuff mister now I want to draw a barrel.. keep it up
ya we worked together for a while up in the midlands and now kinda lost contact but I think I can reach him if you want to get in contact, I want to try myself as I heard he's in London and thats close by.
And I really like the perspective of the solider push it more maybe and get some feeling of distance in the image, lose some of the value in the colour as you move to the feet maybe.
keep it up
aye distance is best achieved with good knowledge of forms,contrast and saturation. I prolly do mostly 2 out 3
and this is a paintover for 3d artist Yung's Model.

hehehe Is this who you pose as after uni? jk jk The last peice is tight and very different from your other works. Its more leaning towards realism but still maintaining that distinct comic book background. Is this the next path you'll be embarking on?
Yeah that modeling competition site at first glance looks hot. I will look into it more once I have got enough typing out of the way.

Adult children recall parents, sibling killed in fatal crash
By: Terry Kovarik
Updated: March 8, 2013
"They were just special people. Kind. Loving," Taylor recalled.
They shared their recollections one day before a memorial service for the three. They were killed along with a family friend and two foster children in a two vehicle crash in Kentucky while heading home to Wisconsin. They stopped at Lisa's home in Tennessee on the way down to Florida.
"They were there with all the foster kids. My mom and dad were so big into foster kids. It's just...it was just chaos. It was total chaos. But it was good chaos," Taylor said.
Chris Young remembered his step-father for a shared aptitude for mechanics and his knack for trickery.
"He'd sit there and he'd have something hidden in the wood pile. You go to burn it up and it would explode. But he was with the fire department. So he knew what he was doing. You know the guy he was a practical jokers," Young said.
Young and Taylor are grateful for the condolences and prayers from the community since the tragedy occurred. But even at Saturday's memorial, set for 3:00 P.M. at the Marion Elementary School gymnasium, they'll focus on the positive.
"We're going to cry! And we're going to cry a lot. But we're going to celebrate their lives. Because that's what they would want," Taylor said.
In lieu of flowers, a memorial fund has been established at the Fox Cities Community Credit Union in Clintonville.
Local 5's Terry Kovarik has the story.

On Friday after work I met up with two of my buddies for a rock climbing session at MetroRock. After a solid three hours of crushing it we opted for food and beer at RedBones afterward. RedBones is a place where mass quantities of excellent meat (pulled pork sandwiches hmmmm) meets freely flowing beer taps (30oz mugs?!), basically it's heaven. It was obvious that I wasn't going to be drinking any beer but the thing that surprised me the most was that I was actually jonesing for a veggie burger. The me from 6-months-ago NEVER would have ordered a veggie burger (let's put it in a time frame: EVER), let alone a veggie burger at a BBQ joint like RedBones, it's borderline sacrilegious. Nonetheless that's what I ordered, it also helped that one member of our trio was a vegetarian. I figured I'd also try out one of their non-alcoholic beers because I've never actually had one. As long as I was on this sober month I might as well give it a try.
The next day Sarah got back from a trip to New Orleans and she had bought me a flask. I've wanted one for a while so it was an excellent gift, although an excellent gift that will have to wait until April 1st at 12:01am.
Then Saturday night my friends were having a Ke$ha-themed party for our friend's bday. It mostly involved a lot of glitter, which I'm still trying to get out of my hair. The plan was for everyone to party at our friend's apartment and then to hit up Phoenix Landing, a bar meant for sweaty dancing and 80s/90s/top 40 songs. I was kind of excited to go experience the glory that is Phoenix Landing as a sober person because I'm sure very few people have witnessed it sober. When we got to the bar the line was outrageously long so we made peace with the fact it'd take an hour to get inside so we decided to go back to my friends apartment and resume the party with beer pong and more Ke$ha.
Maybe it was just me being sober, but drinking out of the cups seemed pretty gross after watching a half dozen dozen people slobber all over them. I've never really cared much to think about it but I'm sure it's a great way to get mono. I prefer having my own side beer and filling the cups with water anyway. For this game I stuck to my tasty, yet sans alcohol, fruit drink.
On the way back to the T going home, we stopped by a great late-night pizza place because we had the munchies. It was then that I learned that drunk food definitely tastes better when you're drunk.
I rounded out the weekend with some live blues at the Beehive in the South End. The event is free but generally involves food and beer as an expectation for attending the event. We stood around watching the show for about an hour before finally getting a table but it was totally worth it because we were front row, pretty excellent.
The waiter came by and asked us what we would like for beer or cocktails and we all ordered waters. I definitely felt weird about not ordering a drink and we definitely got a hesitant weird look from the waiter in return. A bourbon on the rocks seemed much more appropriate for blues music but water would have to suffice for tonight. It was interesting to be at the Beehive and not be drinking. It's such a cultural norm to drink during entertainment and it felt a bit bizarre to simply ask for water. I felt fine about it because I also ordered their poutine which was fantastic. It was no Dysarts poutine but it was good nonetheless.

The Houston Texans defeated the Cincinnati Bengals, 19-13 Saturday to punch its ticket to Foxborough next weekend to play the New England Patriots in the AFC Divisional Round.
That game will be played on Sunday, Jan. 13 at Gillette Stadium. Kick-off is 4:30 p.m. Tickets for next Sunday's game go on sale to the general public Monday morning on Ticketmaster.com. Click here for more information.
The Jan. 13 showdown between the Patriots and Texans will be a rematch of the Week 14 meeting between the two teams on Monday Night Football. The Pats crushed the Texans, 42-14 in that Dec. 10 meeting at Gillette Stadium to put the team in position for a first round playoff bye.
On Jan. 13, the stakes will be much higher as the Pats and Texans play to keep their respective seasons alive and advance to the AFC Championship game.
"It's just a one game season," Patriots head coach Bill Belichick said earlier this week. "Once we know who our opponent is, then we'll zero in on that opponent and try to do everything we can to get our highest level of performance against them next Sunday."
That opponent was identified after the final whistle of the first wild card game this weekend. All the Texans had to do was beat the Bengals to earn a trip to Foxborough. If the Texans lost then the Pats would have faced the winner of Sunday's Indianapolis Colts/Baltimore Ravens Wild Card game. That winner now goes on to play the Broncos in Denver next Saturday.
Belichick told media earlier this week the team will operate under the same preparation schedule regardless of who the opponent will be. On Saturday night, somewhere not too far from Foxborough, the longtime Patriots head coach is putting his folders on the Colts and Ravens away to focus on his scouting reports on the Texans.
"We'll be full speed ahead on Houston," Belichick said.
In that Week 14 win over the Texans, Tom Brady threw for 296 yards and four touchdowns and Stevan Ridley gained 72 yards on the ground and added a rushing score. The defense turned in one of its better efforts of the regular season, keeping stars like Arian Foster and Andre Johnson in check most of the night. The Patriots built a 21-0 lead by halftime.
Next Sunday's game at Gillette Stadium will be the fifth time the Patriots and Texans meet since Houston entered the NFL in 2002 and for the first time in the playoffs. New England is 3-1 all-time vs. Houston.
The Patriots are 13-3 all-time at home in the playoffs but just 9-6 in the AFC Divisional Round. Quarterback Tom Brady, now in his 13th NFL season, understands the importance of preparation and execution in the playoffs.
"I think coach [Belichick] said it best [earlier this week]," Brady said. "He said, 'You make one mistake in this type of game and that's your season.' It's no more, 'I'll get it figured out next week and it's something we have to learn from and move on from.' No, it's your season. That's the kind of urgency you have in practice and certainly when we play here a week from Sunday. We've been working hard to figure out a bunch of things. There's a packet full of things we need to do better and things that we're really trying to work hard to improve on. Guys have really taken to those things; hopefully that leads into a great week of practice next week."
Players are off Sunday before returning to work Monday in preparation for the Texans.

How to Add Icon to Gallery?
Like (0)
I have customized a factory preset and used the 'Save As...' feature to add it to the list of presets. I can see it in one of the 'More' sub-folders at the far right of the Stage Icon Gallery. But I can't see how to make it appear individually in the Gallery as opposed to in the More folder. I would like to be able to see it andf mark it as a favorite for easy access in future setups.
Removal of icons from the Gallery is specifically covered in the Advanced Guide, but not addition (as far as I can tell).
To add a preset to the Icon Gallery you just drag the stage icon into the Gallery.
I can add it to the Stage, and then drag it down to the Gallery strip, but when I try to Drop it there I get a message saying that the preset already exists (which it does) so I would need to rename it first - but I already did that when creating it. It seems that if it is already in the preset library it can't be added to the gallery??
Here's a recipe that ilustrates what is happening:
1) Create a new Setup - empty stage.
2) Drag any icon from the Gallery onto the stage.
3) With the icon selected, hit TWEAK
4) Hit the Folder icon to the right of the Channel Name in the top left strip
5) Select Save Prest As... and give it a new name
6) Hit Setup to return to the stage view
7) Drag the newly-named icon to the Gallery.
8) Observe the error message. The icon does not stick to the Gallery.
What am I doing wrong?
Yes, saving it to the Gallery saves it also in the preset Library. If the name already exists you get this warning. You could either rename it in the Library or on the Stage and then drag it to the Gallery.
To be clear, if you rename the preset in the library and then go to the stage and drag the icon to the gallery the preset is already existing (you just created it)
Try just renaming it on the stage and dragging it to the gallery.
OK - I was able to save it to the Gallery. Thanks.
Stay in the mix and in the know.
