Jacuzzi Decor Night staff girl was very friendly and took her time showing us how everything worked. She did forget our movies but we reminded her and she promptly brought them..
We will never forget. We came to our India theme suite right after our wedding, and realized it was perfection. After the waterfall hot tub, we opened gifts on the pool table, used the steam sauna before playing pool on our in-room table, with music playing and champagne. We gorged on the food platter assembled for us. After slumbering on the giant bed and coffee in the morning, we ripped ourselves away. The hotel was pure luxury and I want to go back!!!
The staff were incredible, the room was absolutely gorgeous (we stayed in Rome). We arrived to a candle lit room, with romantic "Rome" music playing, it was breathtaking. We loved the way the room was built around the jacuzzi tub. We could sit and relax, and also watch tv from the tub. Another favorite from this hotel is the bedding, the sheets were so soft and luxurious, as well as the pillows. The sauna shower was lovely. We really enjoyed our stay here.

Bankruptcy in the United Kingdom
Bankruptcy in the United Kingdom is divided into separate local regimes for England and Wales, for Northern Ireland, and for Scotland. There is also a UK insolvency law which applies across the United Kingdom, since bankruptcy refers only to insolvency of individuals and partnerships. Other procedures, for example administration and liquidation, apply to insolvent companies. However, the term 'bankruptcy' is often used when referring to insolvent companies in the general media.
Bankruptcy in England and Wales[edit]
In England and Wales, bankruptcy is governed by Part IX of the Insolvency Act 1986 (as amended) and by the Insolvency Rules 1986 (as amended). The term bankruptcy applies only to individuals, not to companies or other legal entities.
An individual may be made bankrupt only by court order following the presentation of a bankruptcy petition. An individual may present his own petition on the ground that he is insolvent, i.e. unable to pay his debts. A creditor or creditors may also petition for a bankruptcy order to be made against an individual debtor.
Before a creditor presents a bankruptcy petition he must usually first serve on the debtor a statutory demand in one of the prescribed forms[1] requiring the debtor to pay the sum claimed within 21 days of service of the demand. The debtor may apply to the court to set aside the demand on the basis that the debt is disputed on bona fide grounds or that he has a counterclaim, set off or cross-demand which equals or exceeds the amount of the debt claimed by the creditor. If the debtor fails to pay the sum claimed in the demand or to apply to set aside the demand or if his application to set aside the demand is dismissed by the court, the creditor may present a bankruptcy petition. Alternatively, a creditor may petition without first serving a demand if execution on a judgment has failed. In either case the debtor must owe the creditor at least £5000 and the claim must be for a liquidated sum, i.e. a fixed sum of money (not, for example, damages).
A bankruptcy petition must generally be served on the debtor personally, but if the creditor is unable to effect service, either because the debtor has evaded service or cannot be traced, the court may order substituted service, i.e. service by post or some other method which is likely to bring the demand to the debtor's attention.
At the hearing of the petition the court may make a bankruptcy order if the debt is undisputed or not capable of being disputed, dismiss the petition (for example if the debt has been paid) or adjourn the petition to give the debtor time to pay.
If a bankruptcy order is made the administration of the bankrupt person's affairs is handled by a trustee in bankruptcy who must be either the Official Receiver (a civil servant) or a licensed insolvency practitioner appointed either by the Secretary of State or by the creditors at a meeting called for that purpose. The bankrupt's assets (excluding tools of his trade and other essentials) vest in his trustee who is obliged to realise them (generally by selling them) to pay a dividend to creditors.
A bankrupt person is subject to certain restrictions, principally that he may not raise credit without informing the person from whom he is borrowing that he is a bankrupt, and that he may not act as a director of a company. He is also subject to obligations to give information to his trustee and to cooperate with him in the administration of his affairs. Extensive powers are available to enable the court to compel the bankrupt to do so. Similarly the court has power to undo a range of transactions entered into by the bankrupt with a view to dissipating or reducing the value of his assets in the period before his bankruptcy.
Following the coming into force of the Enterprise Act 2002's bankruptcy provisions in April 2004, an England & Wales bankruptcy will now normally last no longer than 12 months and maybe fewer, if the Official Receiver files in Court a certificate that his investigations are complete. At the end of that period the bankrupt is discharged and he ceases to be liable for his bankruptcy debts. However, in cases where the bankrupt is considered culpable for his or her insolvency, a bankruptcy restrictions order may be made to extend some of the restrictions of bankruptcy for up to 15 years.
As an alternative to bankruptcy a debtor may propose an Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA) to his creditors (see Part VIII of the Insolvency Act 1986) or a Debt Relief Order if debts do not exceed a certain threshold. An IVA takes the form of a proposal to creditors to pay some or all of the debtor's debts over a period of time by selling assets or making payment out of income or a combination of the two. The proposal must be approved by a licensed insolvency practitioner who will convene a meeting of creditors to consider it. Approval requires a majority vote in value in excess of 75%. If the proposal is approved it binds all the debtor's creditors whether or not they have voted in favour of it.
In theory it is also open to a debtor to make a proposal to his creditors by deed of arrangement under the Deeds of Arrangement Act 1914, but this procedure has fallen into disuse since the introduction of voluntary arrangements under the Insolvency Act 1986.

Bankruptcy in Scotland[edit]
Bankruptcy in Scotland is called Sequestration[2] and the organisation responsible for administering these processes is the Accountant in Bankruptcy. There are alternatives to bankruptcy that can help individuals deal with debt problems, these include the Debt Arrangement Scheme. Other options include Trust Deeds, these are types of agreement arranged between the individual in debt and his or her creditors. There are organisations that give free professional advice to individuals experiencing problems with debt, these include Citizens Advice Scotland.

(510) 332-8812 firstname.lastname@example.com
(San Francisco, CA) The board of directors of Cal Humanities is pleased to announce the hiring of Julie Fry as its new President and CEO effective February 2, 2015. Cal Humanities was founded in 1975 as a humanities granting organization and has evolved into funding, creating, and collaborating on projects that connect Californians to ideas and one another. Cal Humanities has played a major role in funding high-quality, award-winning radio and film documentaries that explore California's rich cultures and history.
Julie Fry was chosen after a national and competitive search process. Ms. Fry brings to the position 30 years of experience in business, philanthropy, and the arts. She worked for more than 7 years as Program Officer for the Performing Arts Program at The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation in Menlo Park, California, where she was in charge of a portfolio of more than 125 nonprofit arts organizations, including a cluster of grantees focused on arts education policy and advocacy at the federal, state, county, and local levels. From 2003 to 2007, Julie was Associate Vice President of Fund Services at The San Diego Foundation, and the first director of The San Diego Foundation's Arts & Culture Program, where she developed strategies to engage more donors and community members to support the arts in San Diego through research, community outreach, and funding partnerships. She is active in arts philanthropy on a national level.
Cal Humanities Board Chair Margaret Shelleda commented, "Julie Fry comes to Cal Humanities at an important time as we celebrate our 40th anniversary. Julie brings the right combination of experience, interests, character, and passion to help further our mission, and we are delighted she will be leading our organization. She will contribute significantly to our efforts to support humanities-based projects and programs, eye-opening cultural experiences, and meaningful conversations among Californians. We look forward to working with her as she builds upon our past accomplishments and helps us have an even greater impact in the future."
Julie has a BBA in Economics and French from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, an MBA in International Finance from the University of St. Thomas (Houston), and is pursuing a MA in Historic Preservation from Goucher College (Baltimore). She has served on a number of nonprofit boards in the US and the UK.
The mission of Cal Humanities is to connect Californians to ideas and one another in order to understand our shared heritage and diverse cultures, inspire civic participation, and shape our future. To that end, Cal Humanities runs three granting programs and also creates and collaborates on major statewide initiatives, such as "California Reads","Searching for Democracy", and "War Comes Home".

Religious Decline
In 2020 the religion of Islam became the #1 most commonly practiced religion in the world, with almost 4billion worshippers throughout the world especially the Middle East and Africa. Europe still remained largely Catholic /Protestant until it became an empire. The Days of Global Darkness took a toll on the practice of religion, when the worshippers prayed to their god(s) to make things better, and things only got worse, they decided that the Divine wasn't actually divine at all and turned their backs their religion. This was frowned upon by religious leaders ( such as the Pope ) who still believed in whatever they believed in. Islamic countries saw a decrease in people actually practicing the religion.
As the Dark Depression took over the world, many people lost their faith, as they couldn't see a way out of the mess that the entire world was stuck in. Over the years, Islam and Christianity still were the top two religions being practiced in the world but less and less people actually committed to the religions. Atheism was becoming more and more prominent especially in North America where the American Empire was waging constant wars against its enemies.
Revival of the Latin Language
Beginning in January of 2967 most of the countries in Europe made the switch from their own languages to Latin . Latin was being used in the European Empire for warfare. Latin slowly became a " dead" language after the Fall of the Western Roman Empire. Latin was only used to name species in biology for a few thousand years. When Europe became an Empire, they wanted their military to use a different language for secret purposes. They made the switch in the Military in 2478, while keeping it secret for a few hundred unitl a military emperor made the language official for the whole Empire.

Atakebune was a ship designed in the Ivory Kingdoms by Mantis that were left at Aramasu's Vigilance after the Mantis-Ivory Kingdoms War ended. The Mantis decided they were not bound by the Imperial Edict on ship design while they were outside the Empire, so they incorporated gaijin design elements and made these massive warships. [1]
Appearance Edit
It was the only Rokugani vessel to incorporate a keel and full ribbing, making the hull far more hardy and resilient, capable of long voyages and withstanding strong blows. The average atakebune had four segmented sails and at least one lateen sail to aid in capturing the wind. [1] The vessel were enormous, and resembled the Koutetsukan at first glance. The hull was plated with iron, and the beams were metal reinforced. Miniature ballista were built on the deck as the primary weapon against other ships. They would become the largest and most dangerous vessels on the sea. The Fourth Storm was composed of them. [2] They were more adept at sailing in coastal waters but they could handle voyages into the deep with minimal effort. [3]
Variations Edit
The merchant vessels were made based on the designs of the atakebune. They were large and cumbersome, without any of the grace or battle-worthiness. [4]
Last Atakebune Edit
In 1200 the Rokugani began a massive evacuation to the Colonies, to secure their traditions from the invasion of the hordes of Jigoku. Decades later, the last Atakebune was rotted, stripped of iron and sails, dwarfed on the largest tower of a Yoritomo settlement in an island of the Empire In Exile. [5]

UFC hopes to supplant football in Canada
CALGARY – Hockey is unquestionably king of Canada's sporting fan base. But Ultimate Fighting Championship is gaining traction as the country's fourth-most popular sports entity, officials say.
"Right now, the UFC and (mixed martial arts) rank No. 4 in Canada behind the NHL, which is no surprise, the NFL and the (Canadian Football League)," says Tom Wright, director of Canadian operations for Las Vegas-based UFC.
The results are according to a study tabulated by the Canadian polling firm CROP and presented to UFC officials one week ago. They weren't a surprise to Wright, a former CFL commissioner. But they don't represent the final goal for the promotion. Wright thinks MMA can work itself even further into the country's consciousness.
"I would love to see our sport in time be the No. 3 or No. 2 sport in the country," Wright says. "That's not going to happen overnight. There are some pretty entrenched sports in North America, but that's another vision that we have."
UFC on Saturday holds its first Canadian event of 2012, UFC 149: Faber vs. Barao, at Calgary's Scotiabank Saddledome. Former World Extreme Cagefighting champion Urijah Faber (26-5) and Renan Barao (28-1) compete in the main event with the UFC's vacant interim bantamweight belt on the line.
Despite a lineup that has undergone many injury-related changes since it was announced in March, UFC 149 is expected to generate a live gate of more than $3 million, which would be the UFC's second-largest gate of the year. UFC 148 this month in Las Vegas reportedly generated $7 million.
"It's tough to beat UFC 148, which is the all-time arena-gate record," Wright says.
Canada will host two more pay-per-view cards in 2012. It's also expected to host as many as three PPV events, as well as an additional one or two smaller cards and a long-rumored Canadian edition of The Ultimate Fighter reality series, in 2013.
"Our sport, mixed martial arts and the UFC, comes across to the entire country," Wright says. "Basketball is still Toronto-centric. The (Toronto) Blue Jays and MLB are Toronto-centric. One of the reasons our sport has resonated is it's practiced across the entire country, and it really resonates with this generation."

Policy address crucially overlooks plight of the middle class
The privilege of an "executive-led" government is its supposed ability to take a long-term view and tackle deep-seated problems comprehensively. Leung Chun-ying has certainly taken that approach in his maiden policy address. It's not clear whether that is moral courage or foolhardiness.
Given his plunging popularity and credibility gap, it's almost certain he will not have the public support needed to carry out many of his core policies announced on Wednesday – the most important of which is housing and land supply.
Increasing their supply is central to his diagnosis of the sources of the underlying malaise and discontent in our society – and their resolution. But this will take a multi-year policy commitment while when he has far more immediate governance problems to worry about.
The series of measures and proposals in Wednesday's address will do little to resolve entrenched resistance to his rule, especially among various interest groups and pan-democrats.
"The top priority of the current-term government is to tackle the housing problem," Leung said.
"We recognise that problems stemming from property prices and rental, cage homes, cubicle apartments and subdivided units cannot be solved overnight. But we must acknowledge these problems, understand the gravity of the situation, and take the first step forward to resolve them."
He may have trouble taking even this first step. Even he admits some of his proposals are aiming at the medium to longer terms. For example, his election campaign promise of 100,000 new public rental units over five years – or 20,000 units annually – will not be achieved until after 2018, well after his current term ends.
His various proposals aim to aggressively increase land supply to provide some 128,700 new homes from now to the end of this decade, with measures such as converting 13 green-belt zones and land reclamation to create a sizeable artificial island. Powerful green groups and harbour protection activists will object.
Other proposals include converting industrial and commercial zones into residential areas. This is certainly sensible, as our industrial base has long ago migrated to the mainland's Pearl River Delta region. It may probably be carried out without too much controversy.
There are wide tracts of land across the New Territories, but these are partly held hostage by the colonial-era small-house policy that indefinitely enables indigenous villagers to claim land for housing. This policy is a big headache, but it's unlikely to change because of basic law guarantees.
The big developers also own extensive land banks. But unlike most advanced economies, they pay no taxes for holding their land idle and will not start building until the time is right to maximise their profits. That simply runs counter to Leung's goal of bringing down flat prices and stabilising the property market.
Leung may have his heart in the right place, and his new policies aim to take care of the public interest. But that also means it does not offer immediate rewards to particular groups or classes other than the poor and elderly.
It has no real appeal to the middle class, a crucial base of support, as many of its families are increasingly dissatisfied with rising medical costs, falling education standards and rising costs of living.
Their children – sometimes labelled the post-80s and '90s generations – have less social mobility than their parents and face living in cramped quarters and poorer job prospects. Many demand democratic reforms, which Leung has not even begun to address.
Leung has most support from the low-income earners, those less educated and the elderly. Providing more public housing and some sweeteners such as the elderly care vouchers will please them, but it will not help improve his political standing.
Leung will probably muddle through in the next five years, but is unlikely to resolve what he calls "the deep-seated problems of Hong Kong".

is on in Melbourne for 2003 Open
Where is Andy Roddick heading?
He'll pick up the U.S. mantle of Sampras and Agassi
He's the next Jim Courier
He's still got a lot of growing up to do
He'll never win a Grand Slam title
But all that one fan wanted to know at the Melbourne Park was: "I wonder if they fight like normal sisters?"
While the Williams haven't answered that question, they have given an insight into life away from the court during the Open.
The latest example came when Serena was asked — again — about the differences between she and Venus. She described herself as a "perfectionist, where she is more lackadaisical."
There's a lot of differences. I'm more loquacious than she is, just everything."
New champion
Get ready for a new face on the podium at the Australian Open.
For the first time since 1995, the women's singles quarterfinals do not feature a reigning or former champion.
Lindsay Davenport's loss to Justine Henin-Hardenne in the fourth round ended the participation of four defending or past Australian Open champions in the tournament.
Davenport won here in 2000. The others were four-time winner Monica Seles (1991-93, 1996), Jennifer Capriati (2001-02) and Mary Pierce (1995).
Martina Hingis, who won three titles from 1997-99 and was in the final the past three years, is sidelined with an ankle injury.
It also is just the second time since 1981 that none of the quarterfinalists have previously won in Melbourne.
Matter of perspective
Kim Clijsters is focused on the important things.
Her boyfriend and men's world No. 1 Lleyton Hewitt lost to Morocco's Younes El Aynaoui in the fourth round, ending Hewitt's dream of becoming the first Australian to win his home Grand Slam since 1976.
While Hewitt was gracious in defeat, Clijsters also helped put the loss in perspective.
"There's a lot worse things in life than losing a tennis match," she said. "If you see all the bush fires and everything that are happening here in Australia now, I think a tennis match is nothing compared to, you know, all those things."
The Belgian beat South Africa's Amanda Coetzer to move into the quarterfinals.
Four people have been killed and 400 homes destroyed in wildfires that have raged through Canberra, Australia's capital.

ON THIS PAGE: You will learn about how doctors describe a cancer's growth or spread. This is called the stage. To see other pages, use the menu on the side of your screen.
Staging is a way of describing where a cancerous tumor is located, if or where it has spread, and whether it is affecting other parts of the body. Doctors use diagnostic tests to find out the cancer's stage, so staging may not be complete until all of the tests are finished. Knowing the stage helps the doctor to decide what kind of treatment is best and can help predict a patient's prognosis, which is the chance of recovery. There are different stage descriptions for different types of cancer. For parathyroid cancer, the cancer is typically described as localized, metastatic, or recurrent.
Localized. This means the cancer is only found in the parathyroid gland and has not spread to nearby tissues or organs.
Metastatic. The cancer has spread to lymph nodes in the head and neck area or to other parts of the body, such as the lungs. Lymph nodes are small, bean-shaped organs that help fight infection. Parathyroid cancer rarely spreads to lymph nodes.
Recurrent. Recurrent cancer is cancer that has come back after treatment. If the cancer does return, there will be another round of tests to learn about the extent of the recurrence. These tests and scans are often similar to those done at the time of the original diagnosis.
Source: National Cancer Institute.
Information about the cancer's stage will help the doctor recommend a specific treatment plan. The next section in this guide is Treatment Options. Or, use the menu on the side of your screen to choose another section to continue reading this guide.

I've spent the better party of the last 16 years implementing and managing edge security and remote access solutions for some of the largest organizations in the world.

One of the most common methods of avoiding in place access controls is public anonymous proxy servers. In this month's ISAserver.org article I'll demonstrate a few techniques for preventing public anonymous proxy server access using Forefront TMG 2010.

SQL Database Options in Microsoft Azure
One of my favorite things about the Microsoft Azure public cloud is the SQL database options that are available. Whenever I'm building a test lab that requires an SQL database, in the past it would take quite a long time to get a VM provisioned and SQL installed and configured. Also, with limited local resources, my test lab SQL servers were often significantly underpowered. With Azure-hosted SQL databases, that's no longer a problem. I can provision a Windows Server 2012 R2 VM with whatever version of SQL I require in just a few minutes. In addition, I'm no longer constrained by local resources. Now I routinely provision very powerful VMs, typically with at least 8 cores and 14GB of RAM, which makes testing much easier. Microsoft Azure also features SQL database as a service options too, which doesn't require provisioning a VM. This works quite well in many cases. For more information about SQL database options in Microsoft Azure, be sure to read my latest article on CloudComputingAdmin.com.

A young woman, sharing a house with two men, falls pregnant. She refuses to reveal the father, provoking social disapproval and isolation in the turn-of-the-century Irish community where she lives.
With five-star lighting camerman O'Sullivan turned director and ten-star Bruno De Keyzer directing photography, December Bride, set in a remote corner of Northern Ireland, looks ravishingly beautiful in the finest tradition of such Channel 4 productions. Unfortunately, almost everything else about it is just as reminiscent of a made-for-TV project.
Not that the story is without interest: events unfold in a close-knit Presbyterian community where young Sarah (Reeves) and her mother (Bruce) keep house for two farmer brothers (McCann, giving his usual wonderful performance, and Hinds). The girl and the two young men resolutely refuse to attend the church and mother exits, leaving Sarah and the men to a full-blooded ménage à trois with pregnancy the consequence. That these events, spanning some 20 years, happen at the turn of the century gives context to the film's portrait of an independent-minded and rebellious young woman, competently played by Reeves, here making her feature debut.
For all its virtues, December Bride is so hideously predictable, so measured in pace, so laden with mood - wild seas, lowering skies, lingering Celtic looks, dark little houses, simple peasants - that it tends to induce a despairing sense of deja vu from the very start, a grip that never quite loses hold throughout the next xx minutes.

WASHINGTON A Federal Reserve rate cut next week is looking like a safer bet.
The Labor Department's report Friday that the economy shed 4,000 jobs in August — the first monthly drop in four years — shocked financial markets and analysts who had expected employment gains of around 100,000. The unemployment rate remained at 4.6%, but only because a large number of people dropped out of the labor market.
The report, variously described as "ugly" and "dismal" raised fears that the plunging housing sector and worldwide turbulence in financial markets could push the economy toward recession.
"I'm not really ready to use the "R" word yet, but it's certainly something that's in the back of my mind, and would certainly be something in the front of the minds of people over at the Fed," says Mike Schenk, Credit Union National Association senior economist.
Economists now widely expect the Fed to cut a key interest rate by a least a quarter of a point, and possibly more, when it meets Sept. 18. The central bank has held its target for the federal funds rate, which banks charge each other for overnight loans, at 5.25% for more than a year in an effort to tame inflation.
The federal funds rate is used by lenders in setting interest rates for many consumer and business loans.
Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said late last month that it is not the central bank's job to rescue well-heeled investors who made risky bets on the housing market and other financial products.
But he made it clear that the Fed will respond if financial market turbulence affects the broader economy.
"The stigma of a 'bailout' of Wall Street risk takers has been trumped by the growing downside risks to the economy," Stuart Hoffman, chief economist at PNC Financial Services, said in an advisory to clients.
While Hoffman predicted a quarter-point rate cut, other economists said the Fed should do more.
"One (employment) number is not a trend but this will scare the Fed," said Ian Shepherdson of High Frequency Economics, adding that the outlook for further job losses ahead meant the Fed should cut rates by a half-point.
In recent weeks, as rising defaults among borrowers holding subprime mortgages — higher-priced products to consumers with poor credit — have exploded into a more generalized credit crunch, the central bank has taken a number of actions.
The Fed has pumped money into the financial system to aid credit markets and cut the rate at which banks borrow directly from its discount window.
Market confidence has yet to return, however.
Atlanta Fed President Dennis Lockhart in a speech last week noted business financing is backed up in credit markets. He said falling home prices, diminishing credit availability and higher interest rates could spark a slowdown in home-equity borrowing, used for consumption.
Lower household wealth could also reduce spending, he said. Consumer spending is about two-thirds of the economy.
The economy grew at a nearly 4% pace in the second quarter, but Bernanke has cautioned that backward-looking numbers will be of little help as the Fed debates policy in a fast-moving environment.
Some other more recent anecdotal information, including the Fed's own beige book report on conditions in the 12 Fed bank districts, had indicated that business and consumer activity held up relatively well in recent weeks. Even the jobs report showed continued wage gains and hiring in the broad services sector.
But Schenk and others cautioned that problems in the credit markets will not be reflected until later.
The August decline in employment centered in the goods-producing sector of the economy. The construction industry lost 22,000 jobs during the month, while factory payrolls plunged by 46,000.
Manufacturing employment has fallen by 215,000 in the past year. Factory job declines in August went beyond housing, including auto plants and semiconductors, as well as wood products and furniture.

The Chiefs landed multiple blows on the Crusaders' pride and egos as they ran in five tries to thump them 40-16 at Waikato Stadium on Saturday night.
It was the most points the Chiefs have scored against the Crusaders since Super Rugby began way back in 1996, but it was the way they made last year's finalists look so poor on attack, and were able to repeatedly jab them between the eyes with their turnover runs, that would have really hurt the visitors.
The biggest concern for Chiefs coach Dave Rennie was how serious the injury to key lock Brodie Retallick will prove to be.
The World Rugby Player of the Year retired in the first half with a shoulder problem after being gang-tackled by Wyatt Crockett and Matt Todd but his fellow forwards simply stepped-up and operated like men possessed.
That is not to overlook playmaker Aaron Cruden who pulled the strings for the backline, allowing Sonny Bill Williams to be effectively used a decoy and men like Charlie Ngatai and Tom Marshall to run hard at the line but much of the kudos belongs to the pack.
Little went right for the Crusaders who were unable to launch effective plays from their set pieces and they must also wait to see whether Robbie Fruean – who was replaced with what appeared to be an arm problem – is going to be added to the injury list.
The Crusaders, without Dan Carter and Israel Dagg (both injured) and Owen Franks (suspension) and with All Black team-mates Sam Whitelock and Kieran Read still unavailable, were made to look ordinary for much of this encounter.
Frustrated by being trapped inside their half for much of the match, they often struggled to breach the Chiefs' defensive line and the turnovers proved costly.
Early in the second half the men from the Mainland – having looked at the scoreboard and realised they were trailing 28-16 – inexplicably attempted to run the ball from inside their quarter, turned the ball over and watched Marshall scramble over for the bonus-point try.
Sparks flew within minutes of the opening whistle when Ben Tameifuna, who looked fetching with his freshly-dyed orange hair, and Nepo Laulala scragged each other at the back of a ruck.
The niggle was to continue for much of the first half and referee Mike Fraser was left with no option but to yellow card Chiefs wing James Lowe and Crusaders flanker and captain Todd in separate incidents.
Lowe was sin-binned when he took Scott Barrett out in the air from a kick-off but would have taken great comfort from watching his side outscore the Crusaders, thanks to Williams reaching out to score from a ruck near the posts.
No sooner had Lowe returned to the field when he was illegally thumped to the deck by the frustrated Todd, who inexplicably removed his legs from mid-air.
Down the 14 men, the Crusaders were unable to contain the Chiefs who surged downfield and halfback Augustine Pulu propelled himself over from a ruck.
The niggle continued and Laulala foolishly tipped a few hot coals on an already inflamed mood by shifting his line to bowl to an opponent hoping to snare a quick lineout throw.
Push-and-shove incidents were often punctuated by coarse language and Crusaders loosehead prop several times told Fraser he was sick of being head butted in the scrum engagements. The flowing claret also added some colour to this rugged encounter.
Crusaders flanker Richie McCaw and Laulala had to briefly retire to the blood bin, halfback Mitchell Drummond appeared dazed when he was replaced by Andy Ellis and Liam Messam had to have a concussion check because of a head clash with Tameifuna.
Chiefs 40 (Sonny Bill Williams, Augustine Pulu, Charlie Ngatai, Tom Marshall, James Lowe tries; Aaron Cruden 3 con, 3 pen) Crusaders 16 (Andy Ellis try; Colin Slade con, 3 pen). HT: 22-9

I Feel Terrible…
It was quite disturbing.
I was mowing the lawn and ran over a baby rabbit with the lawn mower. I didn't see it in the tallish grass and it didn't move as I approached.
Ironically, I probably saved the life of the same rabbit three weeks ago when I mowed the lawn and noticed 6-7 of them huddled in a depression in the lawn and moved them to a safer area of the yard.
It was still alive and squirming after I ran over it with the mower. I was struck with a deep sense of grief (seriously) and couldn't decide what to do. I was thinking maybe drown it or put it under my car tire and back over it and give it a quick death. But even that was painful to think about. My heart really sank for a minute there. I really couldn't imagine taking its life in any way, but at the same time, I knew that it probably wouldn't survive; a sense of panic washed over me.
Luckily, my mom was around. She says it was dead when she picked it up. But I suspect she killed it to end the suffering.
I really don't ever recall being in a situation like this before and I hope never to be again.
