Installation:
Error: MSVC Redistributables installation failed. Installation of AVG can not continue.

and for vista service pack 1 i get
an internal error has occurred
error code:0x80000FFFF

as per the windows update thingy, you should try the solutions microsoft suggests. . .if that doesn't work then let us know

also the error you get, is it when u try to download the vista sp1 with windows update? if it is you should try to download sp1 as a file instead of an update and then install it later

ewww. . .saga is 'making sexual' with stilly

youmour:
@blackweaver yea i get an error msg wenever i try updating,n for the anti-virus it says installation was interrupted.
@netotse i activated it through the normal way.i used the product key under the system then activated it online

tell us the error now,
next time u should buy a home premium dvd instead of using OEM software from another cmoputer, its the key thats the important thing not the CD or DVD.

someone should refuse to move his car, or report them to the DPR jo. . .that is nonsense!

cyprainn:

Having too much street cred is a bad thing. . .really,

the place where the re-run is being held is my village. . .lol

AjanleKoko:
Hey,
na oyb be your man. netotse I am not so sure would be interested in all that right now.

@House,
Anybody working on solar projects here? I am looking to pick the person's brain on a personal level. Thanks.

you're right about me not being interested now, all i can think about is the nigerian power sector, do you know something? we've never had an engineer (of any sort not just electrical) as minister for power, we've had lawyers, french graduates and now an economist but govt hasn't seen it fit to appoint an engineer.


you can bounce ideas of me, i know a bit about solar energy(if it has to do with electricity i've prolly read something on it at some point in time), we're considering getting solar panels at home sef. . .

Tgirl4real:
Lovely point Netose. Well constructed.


Not deviating from d topic to discourse, I hav another question to ask. We can discuss both together.

If your child says he or she wants to become a (Nigerian.lol) policeman, would u change your his/her mind at dat stage or u will watch things.

doing so at such a young age would amount to dream-killing, you could use it to start psyching the child 'if you want to be a policeman, you'll have to work hard cos nigeria needs hardworking policemen not lazybones' you could even use such ideas to begin to instill principles in the child by explaining that in nigeria the policemen misbehave a lot and so its not good and so if you want to be a nigerian policeman you have to be the good kind. its possible to use it as an advantage instead of binding and casting the idea

children usually outgrow such things, i wanted to be a full time judoka when i was in pry school and i was going to join the army until after my I.T.(industrial training/ internship).

but if he wants to be one in future whats so wrong with it?

everyone is making sense here, i'll just drop my own 2 cents

i think we all agree that our parents are our greatest role models at some point in time, and from what it seems, the guy wasn't around his parents long enough to know and understand their values, cos unless the father is pretending he seems to be a principled type of guy.

Since farouk possibly lacked that 'daddy is my hero' factor, it was easier for him to fall prey to wrong and dangerous influences, we will always have friends that are bad and stuff, but what saves us most times is the foundation we have, so it would seem his foundation was faulty, maybe his parents mistook proper parental care as just the provision of comfort.

if someone is going to tell you to do extreme things it'd be much easier if the person was an authority figure and so my guess is that over time(i have no idea how long though), the islamic clerics became to him the ultimate authority fiures and so it begs the question if he had a solid upbringing how were they able to get into his head?

Read this in a book a while back and it changed my perspective on this whole man - woman thing,

A WOMAN'S ANSWER TO A MAN'S QUESTION

Do you know you have asked for the costliest thing
Ever made by the Hand above?
A womans heart, and a woman's life
And a womans wonderful love.

Do you know have asked for the this priceless thing
As a child might ask for a toy?
Demanding what others have died to win,
with the reckless dash of a boy.

You have written my lesson of duty out,
Manlike you have questioned me
Now stand at the bars of my woman's soul
Until i shall question thee,
You require your mutton shall always be hot,
Your socks and your shirt be whole;
I require your heart be as true as God's stars
And as pure as the heavens your soul.

You require a cook for your mutton and beef,
I require a far greater thing;
A seamstress you're wanting for socks and shirts.
I look for a man and a king.

A king for the beatiful realm called home.
And a man that his maker God
Shall look upon as He did on the first
And say: "it is very good"

I am fair and young, but the rose may fade
From this soft young cheek one day;
Will you love me then 'mid the falling leaves,
As you did 'mong the blossoms of may;

Is your heart an ocean so strong and true,
I may launch my all on its tide?
A loving woman finds heaven or hell
On the day she is made a bride.

I require all things that are grand and true,
All things that a man should  be;
If you give this all, i would stake my life
To be all you demand of me.

If you cannot be this, a laundress and cook
You can hire and little to pay;
But a woman's heart and a woman's life
Are not to be won that way.

i think a lot of men spend too much time complaining about how women dont submit, and too little time working on themselves so they develop into a man that is worthy of such 'submission' in my opinion we men have a lot of growing up to do


P.S. i'm not ready to argue this seeing as i haven't reached the stage of having a woman submit to me, but one thing i'm darned sure about is that if i want a woman to submit to me then it should be because i deserve it, enough with all this why cant. . .cos the bible. . .

Another Psalm i love is Psalm 51

the way it he says Have mercy on me o Lord. . .

or

Against You and You only have i sinned. . .

it helps me put things into perspective, as in you can tell he is thinking Lord this is between me and You and not anyone else. . .


i love the Psalms man. . .a couple of months back 'Everyday with Jesus' dedicated a month to the psalms, that issue was called 'Being real in the Psalms'

blackmann:
psalm 119.

psalm 119 is my favourite, the psalm ust speaks of the psalmist love for the word of God

verse 9
With what shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your Word.

verse 11
I have hidden Your Word in my heart, so that I might not sin against You.

verse 92
Unless Your Law had been my delight, I should then have perished in my affliction.

from the psalm you can tell how much the psalmist(i strongly believe it's david) when i read the psalms it amazes me, how one person could have so much love and respect for the word of God.

would someone please show me. . .how solomon is trying to toast another man's woman, the beloved is the shunamite right? then who is loved? solomon or the sheperd boy? and where is the 3rd person?

oyb:
all this one na talk - if SOS were in the Quran and not the Bible - we know how much lasciviousness , indecency, etc our NL crusaders would be reading into it  

anyway - carry on with analysis

some. . .not all

nothing too serious, just me getting my thoughts down. . .

at least this thread hasn't gone the way of all other similar threads. . .dare i hope that we're finally getting over the stereotyping thingie?

@sefago
hv u read them? mailed them to you some days ago. . .

i read SOS yesterday night and man that book is something else o, it really affected the way i think about this boy-girl thing. . .

@myjoe
there's something i dont get though, you said its between solomon, a sheperd boy and the girl, the commentaries i read list it as being between solomon and a girl he wants to marry. . .

@spikey
it's not nec. what you said, its how u said it, you were being flippant when er'one was talking about serious stuff!

@spikey
repent

@maedan

MyJoe:
A beautiful girl is betrothed to a shepherd boy. A shepherd boy. A powerful king catches sight of her and make love overtures to her. She replies that she is already in love with a shepherd boy. Not used to being turned down, the randy king would have none of it. But he does not deploy policemen. He deploys poetry! This is the setting behind the Superlative Song, which is Solomon’s.

In the Song, we read the love-related exchanges between King Solomon and a young virgin, the Shulamite girl, and between the Shulamite and her inamorato, a shepherd boy. We also read the encouragement given to the girl by her brothers, who ask to know if they can bank on her chastity. She replies that she is chaste, and her brothers offer her a reward:

“If she be a wall, we will build upon her a palace of silver: and if she be a door, we will inclose her with boards of cedar.” 8:9

Early in the Song, we learn that relationship moves from courtship to consummation:

“As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.” 2:3

The Shulamite girl’s commitment to her shepherd boy is exemplary. She is not ashamed of the shepherd and lets the whole world in on it. When he delays in returning from his field she goes all out to find him, asking the women of Jerusalem to join her search. She sees wealth and glamour all around Solomon. But in her eyes, not even the most beautiful of flowers under the morning dew can compare in beauty to her beau. Hear her description of him:

“My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand.
His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven.
His eyes are as the eyes of doves by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, and fitly set.
His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers: his lips like lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh.
His hands are as gold rings set with the beryl: his belly is as bright ivory overlaid with sapphires.
His legs are as pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold: his countenance is as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.
His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.”
[/i]5:10-16

And does he return her affections. He does, and he is not to be outdone in poetry:

[i]“Thou art beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah, comely as Jerusalem, terrible as an army with banners.”
Turn away thine eyes from me, for they have overcome me: thy hair is as a flock of goats that appear from Gilead.
Thy teeth are as a flock of sheep which go up from the washing, whereof every one beareth twins, and there is not one barren among them.
As a piece of a pomegranate are thy temples within thy locks.
There are threescore queens, and fourscore concubines, and virgins without number.
My dove, my undefiled is but one; she is the only one of her mother, she is the choice one of her that bare her. The daughters saw her, and blessed her; yea, the queens and the concubines, and they praised her.
Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners?
I went down into the garden of nuts to see the fruits of the valley, and to see whether the vine flourished and the pomegranates budded.
Or ever I was aware, my soul made me like the chariots of Amminadib.”
6:4-12

Here is the verse I first came across in the Song as a teenager and have thought about ever since:

“Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.” 8:6

This Song is full symbolisms: humility, friendship, loyalty, contentment, love over material things, and many others. It has been described by Christians as the relationship between Christ and his church or between God and man; by Jews, as the relationship between God and Israel. A lot of inferences can be drawn from the Song of Songs which is Solomon’s, but there is not a doubt that it was written by men who practised poetry in love and love in poetry long before Valentine’s day was invented.

@my joe
thanks a mil for the above. i've never actually given thought to the storyline behind the book


@thread
i kinda see it as a love story but still agree that it can be used to describe Christ's love for the church, like some of the other posters, chances are you wont catch me reading it just for reading sake, the only times i've read it was when i was reading the bible cover to cover(i usu get stuck somehere in isaiah though )

i'm going to read SOS tonight again

@JeSoul
thanks
