Liberation is the inevitable fruit of the path and is bound to blossom forth when there is steady and persistent practice. The only requirements for reaching the final goal are two: to start and to continue. If these requirements are met there is no doubt the goal will be attained. This is the Dhamma, the undeviating law.

I'm actually going to play some football beforehand. Wish me luck.
Rain soddens what is kept wrapped up,
But never soddens what is open;
Uncover, then, what is concealed,
Lest it be soddened by the rain.

I know the Steelers are heavy favorites but the team with the better quarterback usually wins this game, I think the Cardinals will take it.

The steelers have enough Super Bowl titles its the cardinals turn. Its gonna be tough and i wont be surprised if the steelers come out and run all over them but the cardinals are tough and surprised a lot of people this year.

Rugby has how many teams for their world cups?
20 qualified out of 80 teams in 1999
20 qualified out of 65 in 2003
and 20 qualified out of 91 in 2007
