Answer 1

you could add something like this:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/csNewsAd 

but this should not be needed, because if csNewsAd indeed is a directory (folder) it should not be rewritten in the first place because of

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

are you sure there isn't anything else sitting between you and that folder, rights or (indeed) another .htaccess?
