How do you sleep at night?
It occurred to me a while ago that, as a tax advisor, I am effectively making sure the country has as little money as possible by finding the loose threads of the tax legislation and pulling at them. Therefore every time a crime happens and there were too few police to stop it, I contributed to that. The same applies for people dying in hospital.
But then I read an interview with a lawyer who represented many, for want of a better word, 'guilty' people who, nethertheless and with his help, got off scott free due to technicalities. He was asked how he slept knowing he had put murderers back on the streets and he replied that his role wasn't to make sure people got what they deserved, it was to make sure the law was applied to them, warts and all.
So I cope with my guilt in the same way, the (tax) law is the law, but if it has holes in it then our clients deserve to use them.
It's not what is collected
Don't worry, the true moral dilema rests with those who collect it, or rather those who are responsible for spending your hard earned money, and that of your clients.
There is a shameful waste of public monies, by all parties irrespective of colour, though some are more spendthrift than others.
Proper accountability would lead to better spending decisions and less demand for taxes in the long run.
Anyway - I don't do tax so I sleep very well thank you.
I have heard similar talk
In that it is the 'winning' that is important, and if a criminal gets off on a technicality, or because of a very minor mistake in procedure, then it is the fault of the law, or the police officer that made the mistake. Common sense doesn't seem to prevail in our Courts of Justice. It would be wonderful if there were some foolproof way of determining the guilty, but there isn't.
I really don't think you can put tax avoidance on the same level as assisting murderers escape justice though.
But I suppose it is like all other careers. If I successfully defended someone I knew to be guilty I would suffer from an awful conscience and not be able to sleep at night. But likewise with the teams in hospitals, I couldn't cope with the trauma of dealing with the seriously injured (attempted murder victims?) or sleep well, knowing that someone had died who could have been saved.
The Government
would never have enough money to cure all ills and stop all crime. Although the world collectively could do a lot more to make life existance a lot better. Unfortunately while a lot of countries are still busy with the "pecking order" taxes that should go on positive things tend to get wasted.
People who break the law ... 1 thanks
... are not your responsibility.
If they didn't break the law there would be more money to spend on healthcare and medicine.
As Democratus says, the bigger problem is the wastage of money, like the billions spent of the now scrapped NHS computer system!
Getting back to the question posed, I read for about 15 minutes, turn off the light and next thing the alarm is waking me in the morning. If you mean technically, it is in the recovery position on the right hand side of the bed facing outwards.
Criminal defence work 1 thanks
Most of the work I do is forensic accountancy on the instructions of solicitors acting for defendants (often, in confiscation cases, convicted defendants) in criminal cases.
My role is to act in the interests of justice and that includes the defence putting the best case it can within the rules.
Our criminal justice system is an adversarial one. In court the prosecutors fight for a conviction, the defence fight for an acquittal, the judge ensures that both sides play by the rules (as far as he can).
If the prosecutors are unable to get a conviction then the defendant is acquitted. So, many lawyers would say, there is no such thing as 'getting off on a technicality' - there is conviction and there is non-conviction.
The defendant is entitled in our system to 'put the prosecution to proof' in other words (without denying he did the act complained of) requiring the prosecution to prove their case. If they fail to do so he is acquitted.
It's called innocent until proven guilty.
Think very hard before abandoning that philosophy.
Of course I don't know (and I am not going to guess) whether the defendant actually did what the prosecution allege. I need to keep an open mind on that (otherwise I am taking on the role of the jury rather than being a witness).
But if courts were instead places where all parties strove to find the truth they would have to operate very differently!
P.S. How do I sleep? Like a log.
@ David
Interesting to note that you have to work to a criminal standard where the burden of proof is greater for the prosecution rather than for the defendant.
I wonder what others think about this standard in such, shall we say "white collar" or financial crimes as opposed to TWOC or murder 1 cases. Should it be at the civil level in such cases?
You seem to have a very interesting career amd work environment, I am imagining something between LA law and The Office,a bit of CIS thrown in, with a touch of Perry Mason on the side, not to mention all the attractive young people with too white teeth and perfect hair, smart casual clothing and sunglasses worn indoors.
Don't tell me if I'm wrong
Actually 2 thanks
Actually it's more of a cross between Ashes to Ashes and Waking the Dead with a bit of Damages thrown in (and if you believe that you'll believe anything!).
In the confiscation work (which is a lot of what I do) you have crossed a threshold in that the defendant has already been convicted and the burden is then generally upon him to prove (on the balance of probabilities) that his income / assets were obtained legitimately.
Subtle differences
Our system requires the prosecution to prove guilt, not the accused to prove innocence. This is how it should be as any other system would only lead to more innocent people being imprisoned.
As the Knox case currently in the news shows, it's very easy to accuse someone on the basis of dubious evidence. Even with the burden of proof placed on the prosecution it's quite frightening how many innocent people have been wrongly convicted over the years.
As regards lawyers "getting off" guilty defendants. Again, isnt it better that some guilty people go free, rather than have one innocent person wrongly convicted? And it's very easy to know whether a defendant has admitted their guilt to their lawyer. In court their barrister will say "my client is innocent" (or words to that effect), but, if his client has admitted his guilt but insisted on pleading not guilty anyway and put the prosecution to the task of actually proving his guilt then the barrister will not say his client is innocent as that would be lyng to the court, instead he will refer to "the prosecution failing to prove his client guilty" (or words to that effect).
I don't feel guilty about clients paying less tax due to loopholes. The ones who should feel "guilty" are the people who drew up the laws and failed to close those loopholes.
As others have said, governments only waste taxpayers money anyway.
I do believe
that in court the defendant doesn't even have to mount a case. they can solely rely on the prosecution not being able to prove guilt.
Not mounting a defence case
Technically John you are quite correct, the defence team can sit on their hands throughout the entire hearing and simply say to the jury at the end, "The prosecution evidence does not prove their case".
But in terms of the "theatre" of the courtroom that would leave the jury to do all the 'work' of testing the prosecution evidence in their minds. It's a high risk strategy.
The defence may instead put up a defence saying, "The defendant was not in London on the night of the murder". But it's much better if they can go on to say, "He was in Birmingham and here are some witnesses who saw him there".
But making those sort of tactical decisions - and knowing which questions NOT to ask - is what marks out a good court barrister!
But isn't
thats what a jury is supposed to do. It's not up to the defendant to prove they were somewhere else, it's up to the prosecution to prove they were in London on the particular night. If there is any doubt at all then the prosecution have failed (assuming we are not talking about reasonable doubt).
Yes, but . . .
Yes, but ultimately the jury will return a verdict of guilty or not guilty. If the only evidence they hear is the evidence the prosecution put forward (and presumably believe will point towards the defendant's guilt) then have the defence maximised the prospects of an acquittal?
Well, if the defendant does not have a credible defence and would come across in the witness box as a lying toad then the defence's best option may be to sit tight and say nowt. And they are entitled to do that. And the jury are entitled to acquit on that basis.
But if you have a good defence, logic suggests you would improve your chances of acquittal by putting it forward. Also if the defendant would come over as honest & likeable (and not be tripped up in cross-examination) then it would be sense to call him to give evidence.
Basically the defence want to make the jury uncomfortable with deciding the defendant is guilty and it is the barrister's job to decide how best to achieve that given the evidence and the personality of the defendant. Think of it as a branch of salesmanship!

Q: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?
A: No.
Q: Did you check for blood pressure?
A: No.
Q: Did you check for breathing?
A: No.
Q: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?
A: No.
Q: How can you be so sure, Doctor?
A: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar.
Q: But could the patient have still been alive nevertheless?
A: It is possible that he could have been alive and practising law somewhere.
I'm sure...
... my topic wasn't about the legal process when it started... :)
Yes you did
... my topic wasn't about the legal process when it started... :)
You made the comparison - and the concensus about tax seems to be that the government only wastes the tax it collects so why would anyone feel guilty about giving them les money to throw away on daft schemes and huge expenses payments.
On the opposite side...
... I remember in my younger days running the July POA reminder list and then transposing how long the tax our clients paid each year (around £10m) would keep the Government going.
I think I decided it would let a hospital keep its lights on for a year or two :)
Valium gives me a great night's sleep ;-)
The only thing that gives me sleepless nights is workload stress. I'm working on that. :)

Therefore every time a crime happens and there were too few police to stop it, I contributed to that. The same applies for people dying in hospital.
Wow. That's intense. I don't have any problem with my job in that sense. I really don't think it's healthy for you to think like that. You are not in control of how the government uses tax money. Those things are not your fault. The government make the laws, we use the laws. If they lose out on tax money it's up to them to change the law, or live with it. We are not paid to make philanthropists out of our clients :)
In actual fact you don't actually save the person tax 1 thanks
I sometimes used to think like you. But actually, you contribute much more to society.
If you save someone 50k in tax, then the likelihood is they will spend much of their savings which will inevitably have vat on it - and generate a profit for another business and pay wages for someone etc.
If we all just paid the tax that they wanted us to pay, it would get wasted and deter anyone from being successful.
Personally I love saving people tax - as much as possible within the law - because then they enjoy making more money and creating jobs etc - which is what this country needs. And they also pay you handsomely for your help!!
This is what I have always believed
The lower the tax burden, the quicker money cycles, the more profits are made, the more people are employed (and therefore paying PAYE) etc, so, by helping someone pay less tax you have a good chance of actually increasing Treasury receipts on the one hand and reducing benefit payouts on the other - so win win all round and plenty of Zeeees.

At Eatocracy, we eat like it's our job - because it is. There's no crystal ball for food editors to peer into or a Ouija board that contacts Escoffier from beyond the grave for culinary guidance. Instead, we rely on the tastemakers – the chefs, the farmers, the artisans – and our own eyes, ears and mouths to keep us informed of the latest movements in the food world. This series, Next Course, looks into what's coming up in the food world.
"Pssst! Hey buddy, you looking for any of that there...fish goo? I know a guy."
An unusual product, popping up in hushed conversation among chefs and their fishmongers, may soon be swimming to a restaurant near you. It's fish marrow. Yes - bone marrow from fish.
Once the domain of dogs' dinners and the working class's cucina povera, in recent years, bone marrow oozed into chef territory. Platters of sawed-open bones with rich marrow soon popped up on high-end menus across the country. Anthony Bourdain coined it "butter from god," and it gained a devout following accordingly.
The broth from hangover favorite, Vietnamese phở, is traditionally enriched by marrow bones that have been simmered for hours upon hours. And, the classic French technique calls for the marrow bones to be roasted and served with toast and rock salt to smear and sprinkle accordingly.
Most of the bone marrow served in restaurants is from cows or veal calves. For its marine counterpart, it takes a big fish with proportionally large bones; think swordfish, tuna and sturgeon.
Keith Fuller, the chef and owner of ROOT 174 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, has been experimenting with swordfish marrow (pictured above).
"It has the texture of a silicone implant," Fuller said. "Then, when you put it in your mouth and it bursts, it tastes like a hint of the sea – but it's not super salty."
Fuller has featured it on his menu three times. Each time, it sold out, but not before a few diners asked, "What is this?" and "Is it supposed to be raw?" He served it like an oyster: raw and with a mignonette, a sauce of vinegar, minced shallots and cracked pepper.
Harold Dieterle, who many may recognize as the first winner in Bravo's "Top Chef" program, just opened his third restaurant in New York City – appropriately called The Marrow. He's been playing around with tuna marrow and hopes to put it on the menu soon.
"I kind of compare it to whipped pork fat. It's very mild, but it definitely has a fish flavor," Dieterle explained.
As often happens, what's old is new again. Vesiga - or the dried spinal marrow of sturgeon - was a favorite of the Russian czar set. Slices of it were also served atop a consommé preparation on the ill-fated Titanic.
If fish marrow was good enough for the unsinkable Molly Brown, it's worth diving into.

Azoles for Treating Thrush
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
|Onmel, Sporanox
These prescription medicines are available as:
- A mouth rinse that is put directly on the infected area (topical).
- A lozenge that dissolves in the mouth (topical).
- A tablet that is swallowed (oral).
How It Works
Azoles are one type of antifungal medicine that stops the growth of the yeast that causes thrush. This gives the body's immune system a better chance to destroy the yeast.
Why It Is Used
These medicines may be used for cases of thrush that have not responded to nystatin (a polyene).
How Well It Works
Azoles are effective in curing thrush, especially when other topical treatment has not been helpful.
Fluconazole, posaconazole, and voriconazole can cure thrush that has spread into the esophagus.
Side Effects
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
- Usually the benefits of the medicine are more important than any minor side effects.
- Side effects may go away after you take the medicine for a while.
- If side effects still bother you and you wonder if you should keep taking the medicine, call your doctor. He or she may be able to lower your dose or change your medicine. Do not suddenly quit taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
- Trouble breathing.
- Swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor right away if you have:
- Hives.
- A rash or itching.
- Fever and/or chills.
Side effects of azoles are not common in otherwise healthy people. Side effects may include:
- Constipation.
- Diarrhea.
- Feeling dizzy or sleepy.
- Headache.
- Nausea or vomiting.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Certain medicines can interact with azoles. This can make the azole less effective or can cause problems with the liver. Some of these medicines include:
- Some ulcer medicines (sucralfate and acid reducers).
- A seizure medicine called phenytoin (Dilantin).
- A tuberculosis medicine (rifampin).
- A medicine used to prevent rejection in organ transplants (cyclosporine).
- A blood thinner called warfarin (Coumadin).
Tell your doctor if you take cisapride or dofetilide. Taking any of these medicines along with an azole may raise the risk of serious side effects that affect the heart.
Voriconazole may cause some people to have changes in vision, such as blurred vision and seeing bright spots or wavy lines. Make sure you know how you react to this medicine before you drive, use machines, or do anything else that could be dangerous if you have vision changes.
If you take posaconazole, your doctor will likely do liver function tests during the time you take this medicine.
Taking medicine
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Advice for women
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Women who use voriconazole during pregnancy have a slightly higher chance of having a baby with birth defects. If you are pregnant or planning to get pregnant, you and your doctor must weigh the risks of using this medicine against the risks of not treating your condition.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

There's new information on the destructive fire WITN told you about first yesterday morning. Two people were arrested at the Lenoir County home before a fire destroyed it Thursday morning. Now, the SBI is involved with the investigation.
We reported yesterday that no one was home when a mobile home on Levi Lane in the Jackson Heights area of Lenoir County caught fire at 2:30 a.m. That's because the people who live there had just been arrested after a domestic violence call, according to the Kinston Free Press.
Michelle Small, 43, and James Fanning, 42, were arrested early Thursday morning, but online records say the two are out of custody.
Previous Story
The State Bureau of Investigation is looking into a fire this morning that destroyed a double wide mobile home.
Three fire departments were called to Levi Drive in the Jackson Heights area of Lenoir County around 2:30 a.m. Thursday. When the first crews arrived, officials say the mobile home was 50%-75% involved. The fire destroyed the trailer.
Officials on the scene told WITN that Sandy Bottom, Southwood and Deep Run fire departments responded to the fire.
No injuries were reported, and fire crews say no one was inside the fire when it started. Officials say there is no word yet on what started the blaze.
The fire was under control shortly after 3 a.m.

Evalein My partner and I were attending a wedding in Kifissia so the location was perfect for us. Everything about this hotel was fantastic - our ensuite room was huge and furnished beautifully, the breakfast buffet was delicious, staff were polite and the hotel was impeccably clean. We had previously stayed in a tourist trap hotel in Monasteraki, so Boutique Hotel Anixi was a pleasant surprise. What particularly stood out was the care and attention that had gone into the design of each room. Next year, we will be staying here and commuting into the centre of Athens and would recommend others did the same. In terms of value, quality and service, this hotel is unbeatable.

Hosting Requirements
Installing Joomla! for the first time is very easy. Joomla!'s built-in web installer makes setting up your new site a breeze.
Before we start installing Joomla!, there are a couple prerequisites that need to be met to install Joomla! successfully. These apply whether you have a dedicated server, a shared hosting plan, or are installing a copy on a local computer for testing or development. You'll need to meet the following requirements below to install and use Joomla! 3.0
Downloading and Uploading Joomla! Package Files
- Download the current release of Joomla! 3.0.x
- Create a database for use with Joomla! You will need to note basic database information needed when the actual Joomla! installation is started.
- Location of datase, localhost? Or a specific host's server such as
- The database name
- The database user's name
- The database user's password
- Location of datase, localhost? Or a specific host's server such as
- Move the downloaded Joomla! installation package to the server. Use a FTP Client to transfer the Joomla! 3.0 files to your server. If you don't already have an FTP client, we recommend Filezilla
- Hint - This can be accomplished by simply moving the downloaded package to your server, then unpacking it. Or you can unpack the files on your local computer, then move the Joomla installation over to your server. Either way, the Joomla installation needs to be unpacked in the root of your site.
If you unpack the files on your own computer, then copy them to your server, be sure to move only the folders and files contained INSIDE the Joomla! package. If you unpack the folders and files into a folder, for example called,
Joomla and then upload that folder, your site will have to be accessed at
yoursitename.com/Joomla instead of
Main Configuration
With the above requirements met, a database created and the required Joomla! files in place, you are ready to install Joomla!. Start the Joomla! web installer by browsing to the site's domain name,
www.yoursitename.com and you should see:
Joomla! will try to identify the Select Language field automatically from your browser's language. You can change this if needed.
Fill in the following information.
- Site Name: The name of your website — this can be changed at any point later in the Site Global Configuration page.
- Description: Enter a description of the website. This is a the global fallback meta description used on every page which will be used by search engines. Generally, a maximum of 20 to 25 words is optimal. Again, this can be changed on the Site Global Configuration page at any time. For more on metadata, see Global Metadata Settings and Entering search engine meta-data.
- Admin Email Address: The admin email address. Enter a valid email in case you forget your password. This is the email address where you'll receive a link to change the admin password.
- Admin Username: Joomla! uses a default "admin" as the username for the Super User. You can leave it as is, change it now(which a good Security measure) or use My Profile in the Administration interface to change it later.
- Admin Password: Remember that super user has maximum control of the site (frontend & backend), so try to use a difficult password. Use My Profile in the Administration interface to change it later. Confirm the password in the Confirm Admin Password box.
- Site Offline: Click the Yes or No box. Yes - this means when installation is complete, your Joomla! website will display the 'Site is offline message' when you browse to
yoursitename.comto view the home page. No - this means the site is live when you browse to
yoursitename.comto view the home page. You can use the Site Global Configuration in the Administration interface to change the Offline status at any time.
When everything on the first page is completed, click the next button to proceed:
Database Configuration
You will need the information about the database which was suggested above to note.
For simplification, these intructions are a reference to installing with a MySQLi database. The instructions on the installation page are self explanatory, but here they are again:
- Database Type: MySQLi is the common database used
- Hostname: Where is your database located? Common is
localhost, but some hosts use a specific database server such as
- Username: The username used to connect to the database
- Password: The password for the database's username
- Database Name: The name of the database
- Table Prefix: One is generated automatically, but you can change it. For example,
jos3_can be used. Just don't forget to put the underscore character(
_) at the end of the prefix.
- Old Database Process: Should the installer backup or delete existing tables during the installation of new tables? Click, Yes or No to select the choice.
All these choices can be edited on the Site Global Configuration page, under Server options after the installation is completed. Note, you will break your installation if you change these settings after installation unless you have a complete copy of the current database being used by the Joomla! installation. Common uses would be to update the username and password of the database or to complete a move of an existing installation to a new host with different parameters.
When all the information has been filled in, click the next button to proceed:
Install Sample Data
Checking Your Configurations
Success and Finishing Up the Installation
Joomla! 3 is now installed, but there is one last step to complete. You must delete the Installation Folder.

Party's Over
this wiki
- "You're all dead. It's your choice."
- ―Rocco Pelosi to Luis Fernando Lopez.
Party's Over is the penultimate storyline mission in The Ballad of Gay Tony. It is given by Rocco Pelosi to Luis Fernando Lopez.
Rocco will call Luis up (or Luis can call Rocco) saying that he's screwed and orders him to go to meet him alone, without Tony, in the public toilets in Middle Park, with Uncle Vince alongside him. In the meeting, Rocco informs Luis that Ray Bulgarin has gone to Giovanni Ancelotti, demanding the head of anyone involved with in the whole diamond deal. This, along with his daughter's kidnapping and the angry Algonquin Triads from the shootout in the beginning of the game and the massive debt Tony owes Rocco, has caused Ancelotti to call for the corpse of either Tony or Luis. Since Rocco would rather work with Luis rather than Tony, he tells Luis to meet them at Maisonette 9, kill Tony himself, and take control of Tony's clubs with him and Rocco as partners. Luis refuses, but Rocco leaves and tells him to meet them at the club anyway.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Go to Maisonette 9
- Go inside the club and find Tony
- Take out Bulgarin's men and protect Tony
- Get to the main door of the club
- Clear the area of Bulgarin's men
100% Objectives
Complete the mission in 4:30
Take Less than 90% damage
Kill 25 enemies via headshots
Have 75% Accuracy
Destroy 4 enemy cars
If you haven't already, call Armando Torres and load up on heavy weaponry and explosives; the M249, Explosive Shotgun, Grenade Launcher, and RPG for preference, as well as Body Armor, although Body Armor is available in Maisonette 9's security room, and any sundry ammo you may need. When fully loaded, head on down to Maisonette 9. Also it is a good idea here not to take a cab back to the club, as the driver often seems to run into Dessie when arriving there and then you fail the mission because you "disrupted the meeting." If you want to take a cab place a waypoint a bit away from the Maisonette icon and go to there on foot.
Rocco and Vince have arrived there before you and are explaining to Gay Tony that the Ancelottis and Ray Bulgarin want to see either Luis or Tony dead. Rocco explains to the confused Tony that Luis is on their side, and Vince passes a Pistol .44 to Luis to shoot Tony. Tony pleads for his life, but Luis sadly informs him there's is no other choice. But after some hesitation, Luis decides to gun down Uncle Vince instead, with Rocco, crying out that they're 'dead' for ruining their deal and a ton of Russian hitmen are coming to kill them both. Luis will turn the gun on Rocco, but Tony saves Rocco's life by informing Luis that Rocco is a made man, and that they can't kill him. As Rocco promptly flees, Luis and Tony take cover.
The cutscene finishes and the Russians are about to enter. You must protect yourself and Tony - but Tony seems to hardly take any damage at all. Literally dozens of Russian hitmen now pour into the club in waves, armed with Assault Rifles and MP5's. Almost like Space Invaders, the hitmen move from the far end of the club towards their position, eventually coming up the stairwell to the right of the balcony. This is where the machine gun comes into play - the high rate of fire and huge magazine allows Luis to keep the Russians pinned down, unable to fire back or move into cover.
In a pinch, there's a first aid kit at the back of the balcony, behind you to the right. What's more, taking a few steps back can be an advantage if you start getting overwhelmed, as you can cover both the stairs and the dance floor by shooting through the wooden partition.
After about 4 or 5 waves of enemies, the club is riddled with bullets. Tony gets a call from Dessie, pleading him to 'run while he can' as several more cars full of Russians pull up, blocking their exit route. If you're badly hurt, don't rush outside, as there's more armor and health in the security office. Outside, quickly slide into cover behind the car opposite the door, as the hitmen will open up on you at the first opportunity. Break out the RPG, Explosive Shotgun, or some other form of explosives and take out the reinforcements. A bike and a final car arrive when the first set is eliminated. Mop up these stragglers to complete the mission.
In the aftermath, Tony, shocked by Luis' "considered betrayal", makes to sever his ties with everyone and leave the city. Although Luis tries to reason with him, Tony walks away.
Video Walkthrough
After the Mission
The reward for beating the mission is $5,000 and the final storyline mission, Departure Time is unlocked.
- Uncle Vince - Killed by Luis to intimidate Rocco and to rescue Tony.
- Many of Ray Bulgarin's men - Killed by Luis and Tony during an ambush.
- This mission resembles TLAD's mission Was It Worth It? in that it is the penultimate mission of the game, it involves killing hitmen sent by an antagonist of the game (Ray Boccino and Ray Bulgarin), and that the hitmen are a result of Johnny Klebitz or Luis Lopez stealing something in the Impossible Trinity (the Diamonds, and the money made from selling them).
- It is better to use the Explosive Shotgun and aim for the Russians' heads, as one shot can either kill them or knock them over, leaving them open to a finishing shot.
- This is the only time in game when you can enter Maisonette 9 while it is empty without a glitch or mod.
- You can also enter Hercules while it is empty. Unlike Dessie, Troy does not appear in this mission.
- In the bathroom scene, Uncle Vince is wearing a black coat with an orange shirt, but in the Maisonette 9 scene, he is wearing a grey coat with a black shirt.

With the rising cost of health care, maintaining good health is key. And for black men, the risk of not taking care of themselves can have devastating effects in the bedroom.
According to research by the Mayo Clinic, two things in particular, obesity and alcoholism, has a direct affect on testosterone levels. As men age, the amount of testosterone in the body gradually declines. This natural decline starts after age 30 and continues throughout life. But there are other causes, some preventable, of low testosterone levels:
-Chemotherapy or radiation treatment for cancer
-Dysfunction of the pituitary gland
-Medications, especially hormones used to treat prostate cancer and corticosteroid drugs
-Chronic illness
-Obesity (especially abdominal)
Without adequate testosterone, a man may lose his sex drive, experience erectile dysfunction, suffer depression and have difficulty concentrating.
Today's Get Well Wednesday doctor, Dr. Rani Whitfield, talks testosterone deficiency and tells men what they need to do to acquire and maintain healthy hormone levels.

DP002: Two Degrees of Separation!
this wiki
Two Degrees of Seperation was the second episode of the Diamond and Pearl series. In this episode, Ash was separated from his Pikachu, due to a battle against Team Rocket. This episode was also where Ash catches his Starly using his Aipom. Also the first episode where meets Paul, who when asked if he saw a Pikachu, rudely commented back and asked for a battle with Ash. The match was supposed to be a 3 on 3, but Ash was low on one Pokémon, due to losing Pikachu. Paul notedly reacted harshly towards Ash because of this. Later, in this episode, Pikachu is found by Dawn, a new trainer who starts out with a Piplup.
Dawn and Piplup's Pokemon journey is off to a bumpy start! She needs to catch Pokemon, so she can become a great Pokemon Coordinator like her mom, but both she and Piplup are having trouble getting the hang of things. After a Buneary and Burmy get away, Dawn spots a Pikachu and tries to catch it before realizing it belongs to another Trainer. When Team Rocket shows up to claim Pikachu as their own, Dawn realizes that they're up to no good. A powerful attack from Piplup sends the Pokemon thieves packing!
Dawn brings the exhausted Pikachu to a Pokemon Center and calls Professor Rowan to give him an update. Elsewhere, Ash's search for Pikachu takes him to Professor Rowan's lab, where he learns that Dawn has rescued Pikachu--except she's already left the Pokemon Center to find Pikachu's Trainer. And when Dawn calls Professor Rowan again, Ash has already left the lab to find her!
As for Team Rocket, they're now resting and relaxing at a vacation house belonging to James' family. They've also picked a new member, James' old Carnivine. Sadly, once James hears his fiancee is headed his way, Team Rocket must hit the road again. Meanwhile, still looking for Dawn, Ash meets up with his good friend Brock and catches a Starly. But none of them notice the surly stranger who's spying on Ash--a stranger whose identity will soon be revealed...
- Background music of MS008: Pokémon - Lucario and the Mystery of Mew can be heard.
- Similar to how Ash's Pikachu destroyed Misty and May's bikes, Pikachu broke Dawn's bike.
- When Carnivine comes out of its Poké ball, it greets James the same way his Victreebel used to: by chomping on his head.
- This is so far the only episode where Ash and Pikachu are not together.
- When Dawn calls Rowan, both of the areas they are in are identical on the video even when they are in different areas.
- James: "There you are you rascals."
Jessie: "Oooo, what's in there huh?"
Meowth: "Something a lot older than me."
James pulls out bottlecaps from the box.
James: "It's my very first bottlecap collection. I've had it since I was a toddling tot of two. To brush them against my cheek. WOW! I can not believe you've been hiding in here all this time."
Jessie: "A Poké ball. Yours as well?"
James: "And how. The very Pokémon I used to play with when we came to Sinnoh. Come on out Carnivine."
A Carnivine comes out and bite James' head.
James: "You see, Victreebel's not the only Pokémon who likes to take a nip at my noggin."
Jessie: "And that is a good thing?"
Meowth: "Wow, sounds like the green galoot's really happy to see ya."

Some service providers, including doctors and owners of pharmacies, have been pointed out as among those who sabotage the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) by stealing cheque numbers of members of the Fund and using them to lodge false claims.
This was revealed recently following complaints from some members, especially teachers, who had noted that their membership numbers were being used to make false claims to the NHIF while they had not used the services.
One teacher, Evelyine Wambura, claimed to have noted the malpractice after NHIF called her to ask her whether she had received health services on certain dates as had been filled in by some pharmacies and hospitals, especially after NHIF had noted serious discrepancies in the ages of the beneficiaries filled in.
"For instance, they showed that on March 8 I used the service at Mafiga Hospital, while on that day I was taking part in the World Women's Day. They claimed that I was treated of typhoid and a total of 76,000/- was billed, and that I was 48 years old while I'm now 50. I'm not the only one, there are several other teachers whose names were billed 56,000/- and another 77,000/-. We need to be careful," said Magreth Mpanda, a Mwere Primary School teacher.
Evelyine Wambura from the Education Department in Morogoro municipality said that NHIF also had noted that there were two names of people whom she did not know whose names had been billed against her membership.
Addressing reporters in his office regarding the sabotage, NHIF monitoring officer in Coastal Zone Salum Adam called on members not to agree to be used to make false claims, adding that they would continue to verify the bill claims.
He said in the exercise a number of fraudulent claims cropped up, adding that it was easy to note them after seeing a sudden increase in a bill, sometimes to the tune of millions of shillings.
"We are still investigating how they come to own these membership identity cards. It's possible there are members who
collude, use the documents and information to make false claims. In some hospitals we came across these identity cards," said Salum.
He said that the Fund has already arrested six people suspected of engaging in the malpractices, including three medical doctors who colluded with pharmacies, and one owner of a pharmacy, adding that investigations were going on.

History is expected to be made today when city rivals Simba and Yanga meet in a last prestige-laden Mainland Premier League match at the National Stadium in Dar es Salaam.
History is made when the two sides play as those encounters set the rhythm of their rivalry until they next meet, for instance, in any of the more recent regional tournaments.
Nothing is ever 'friendly' when the two clubs meet, even as at present when Simba has for all intents and purposes won the championship, but the fighting mood isn't abated for a second.
Fans of either side take battling their next street rivals as the most important test of whether their team is steely or in tatters.
Today's game is for all practical intents a formality as far as the league is concerned, but the premier league is just one arena in the never ending battle of wits as to which team is better. Simba have already won the league title with 59 points which can not be reached by any of the closer contenders even if Yanga win today. Azam FC and Yanga are placed second and third, respectively.
Efforts of Azam FC who were challenging Simba in that position were reduced on Friday when Mtibwa Sugar nailed them 2-1 to pave way for Simba to beg the title.
Azam FC are second with 53 points and still have a game on hand, against Kagera Sugar, while Yanga have 49 points with only this game.
Simba chairman Aden Rage said yesterday today's game is crucial to them as they can not celebrate their league victory without beating Yanga. "We will celebrate our victory after we beat Yanga," he said, in typical fashion.
Yanga coach Fred Felix 'Minziro' said they will be out to maintain their respect of not being beaten by Simba in any recent encounter, noting that the Msimbazi Street side should not expect an easy evening.

Patty, thanks for taking a few moments with us! What sparked your interest in radio?
I graduated from college with a degree in Wildlife Biology, which I loved to study, but realized in the end that it wasn't quite right for me. I always was a listener of public radio and was intrigued by the idea of doing reporting. It sounded like a fun and challenging career. I got my ears wet at the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies and was hooked immediately.

A fire in the east destroys a mobile home Tuesday morning.
Fire officials say it happened just after midnight in the Craven county town of Fort Barnwell.
Crews say they arrived to the 1100 block of Jonestown Road, where the mobile home was fully engulfed in flames.
The good news no one was inside the trailer at the time of the fire.
An electrical issue is what officials say is to blame.

A resident of the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is back where she belongs and zookeepers are working to keep her there.
Eva, a 7-year-old howler monkey that came to the zoo about a month ago, managed to squeeze through the fence and mesh of her outdoor porch to escape on Saturday.
11 News talked with zoo officials on Monday morning. They tell us keepers are now re-meshing the outdoor area. Until that work is finished, Eva will be housed in an indoor exhibit.
"Eva's indoor enclosure has two-inch spacing between each bar," said Erica Meyer, Public Relations Manager for the zoo. "The bars she was able to squeeze through have three-inch spacing. Keepers are confident that she is well contained, so no more sunbathing for Eva!"
For half an hour after escaping, Eva hung out on the roof of the Monkey Pavilion and then in a tree.
Officials say there was never any real danger; Eva is very tame and usually shies away from people, but just in case, they cleared the area until she was caught.
One family we talked to says it was quite the scene on Saturday.
"At first we saw people standing up there with the nets and we thought, 'What's going on?' We weren't sure what was on the loose at first...it was a little concerning," said mother Alex Laput.
"They were on the roof waiting for her to come down, they were really good. It was hard to see, but I saw a gentleman up there, I think they were trying to give it a cookie or cracker," said father Alex Clemons.
Laput and Clemons were at the zoo with their daughter.
"You're a little concerned at first because you see all the nets, and then it dawns on you these folks are professionals and they know how to handle anything and they know the animals best," said Clemons.
Eva weighs about 14 pounds and was brought to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo a month ago to become a companion for their other howler monkey.
Animal keepers report Eva is acting normally this morning. They say she did not receive any injuries as a result of Saturday's activities.

After two weeks of intense discussion countries have reached a compromise at the climate talks in Cancún. What were the main advances from a BirdLife perspective?
An agreement on REDD+ is close at climate talks in Cancún. This which would provide a mechanism for delivering financial incentives to developing countries to conserve and restore their forests.
With just over 24 hours to go until COP16 in Cancún closes how are the negotiations progressing? Are we getting closer to a fair, ambitious and legally binding global deal on climate change?
Biofuels are any kind of fuel derived from living things. In principle, they are a way of reducing greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional fossil fuels like oil and coal. It is also estimated that emissions from burning biofuels are broadly comparable to the amount of the gas absorbed from the atmosphere when the biofuel plants are grown. Sounds great. Right? Sadly not...

[♪♪] [CS6] [Al Mooney - Product Manager, Pro Video Editing] One of the key areas we wanted to focus on in CS6 was multicam. We've had multicam in Premiere Pro for some time, but up until 5.5, we were limited to a maximum of 4 camera angles. Of course modern production uses a great deal more than that. So the great news about Premiere Pro CS6 is now the number of cameras is technically unlimited. Of course it does depend on your system, and you need to make sure that your system is capable of the number of angles you want to play back, but we have put no limitations at all in the software for the number of angles that you can try. The second thing we heard was that setting up for a multi-camera edit in Premiere Pro was a little bit cumbersome--a few too many clicks and not quite as intuitive as people might like. So we've really addressed that with that release. So let's firstly look at how easy it is to set up to commence your multi-camera edit. If you look in my Project panel here, I've got 9 camera angles of my multicam shoot. So in order to get started working with them, I'm just going to click on the first one and then Shift-click down to the 9th camera angle. Then all I need to do is right-click and choose Create Multi-Camera Source Sequence from the contextual menu. That gives me a number of options of how to synchronize the angles together. I can use just In points or Out points or time codes or markers. But because this multicamera shoot was shot on DSLR, I don't have source time codes to synchronize to, so I'll just use my In points. Hit the OK button. That builds me my multicam source sequence and places it in the Project panel for me. Now all I need to do is pick the source sequence up and drop it into a sequence, and I can go ahead and start editing multicam. One of the really nice things we've added in Premiere Pro CS6 is if you have an empty sequence, as I currently do right here, if you drop something onto that sequence whose settings do not match the sequence settings, Premiere is just going to ask you if you want to update the sequence to match the media. In this example, I'm just dropping a multicam source sequence on, but it would be exactly the same if I dropped a clip. So I'll pick it up, drop it into the destination sequence. Premiere Pro says, "Do you want me to change your sequence settings to match?" Yes, please. Then all I need to do is open my multi-camera window, and now I can hit Play, there's my 9 angles playing back, and I can just click through 1 at a time to make my edit decisions. I zoom in on my timeline now. There's my multicam cuts. And of course if you think about it, because of these wonderful new trimming features we have, I can go ahead and really finesse those edits. Also, if I'm more of a keyboard-driven, less of a mouse-orientated editor, I can easily use my numeric keypad down here to switch between the camera angles. So multicam in CS6 removes the limitations of the number of camera angles and makes setting up and being creative that much faster. [Adobe]

"The landlord of The Broken Arms, Brentford, took issue with my smoking jacket and general demeanour, mistaking me for someone called "Nancy". Funny story, and the main reason I walk this walk to this day. Never did find those missing teeth though..."
In every town in any country with a pub culture, there will be at least one rough pub. The names change from venue to venue, but they can be recognised by certain traits they all share such as broken windows, semi-derelict appearance, mouldy plasterwork and smell. If you walk past a pub and later discover you have caught fleas, you can be certain that you've found a rough pub.
How To Find A Rough Pub
If, for some reason, you feel the desire to go drinking in a rough pub, you will first need to locate such an establishment. Rough pubs can be found in different places in different countries. A number of Rough Pub Guides can be found in most good book stores.
- In Britain, they can generally be found in deprived city centres or on industrial estates. Friendly local neo-Nazis may be able to enlighten you as to their whereabouts, otherwise just watch which direction all the police cars head towards at closing-time on a Saturday night. Should you stumble across a rough pub while it's closed - and many of them never close - you will be able to recognise it as a traditional rough pub by the bloodstains and puddles of vomit on the pavement in front and unconscious drinkers slumped up against the exterior walls.
- American rough pubs - known as rough bars - tend to be placed in different areas to those commonly taken by their British equivalents. For a start, they're usually in America. Most of them will be situated out of town, often on the state line or in the desert. They usually have a large car-park at the front, which will be full of Harley-Davidsons, hot-rods and trucks, which makes them much easier to spot than British rough pubs.
- Australian rough pubs are the easiest of all to find. Ask any local where the local pub is (you may have to ask in Strine. Try: "G'day Bruce, d'ya know where the watering-hole is?") and then follow their directions. It doesn't matter which pub they direct you to, because all Australian pubs are rough pubs.
- The Scottish have regulated their rough pubs and helpfully relocated them all to one area. If you can find Glasgow, you've found the rough pubs.
Types of Rough Pub
Many rough pubs are consciously rough. The management (often retired gangsters) are well aware of their establishment's reputation and wish to preserve it, hence they name their pub something along the lines of "The Pitbull and Hammer" (pictured above) or "The White Supremacist". This type is the classical British rough pub and often serves as the centre of the community, holding free events for the local populace such as British National Party meetings and hosting gigs by far-right neo-nazi skinhead bands.
Oirish rough pubs are, interestingly, never found in Oireland where all the pubs are full of cheery, happy-go-lucky men all named Paddy or Mick and beautiful red-headed ladies named Siobhghobiughhan (pronounced Sarah). The clientele of these establishments spend all day every day drinking Guinness (which, they will tell you, is far better than the stuff you get in London) and listening to live traditional Celtic music. If the pub ever closes, they merrily make their way home, perhaps stopping to shoot a Protestant or two and maybe plant a few bombs, if the mood takes them. To find an Oirish rough pub, you will need to go looking in the UK - the best way to find one is to listen outside a few different pubs until you come to one where somebody is singing Danny Boy, very loudly, very drunkenly, and getting the words wrong.
'Wanky' rough pubs are often disguised as wine bars, cocktail bars or ten-pin bowling alleys. Most large towns have at least one, often to be found in an old, converted cinema or warehouse. These are the largest pubs of any type and may have a capacity of over a thousand people - however, on a Friday or Saturday night, they will often squeeze in more than three times this amount. Scientists who specialise in pubology have not yet been able to explain why every person in a pub of this type will be named either Kevin or Wayne if male, or Sharon or Tracy (pronounced Try-see) in the case of females.
- Wifebeater XXXX is by far the most popular drink in rough pubs. Based in Belgium, this brewer has attempted to improve its image by sponsoring independent and art film festivals, also paying for such films to be shown on national television in the UK. However, it remains the favoured beverage of chavs, neds and violent arseholes. Wifebeater comes in bottles made of extra-thick glass, making them the most suitable bottles to smash people in the face with during a pub fight.
- 15% Skullfucker, also known as Special Brew, was originally brewed to cater for the 'crazy street-drinker' demographic, a valuable niche market for brewing firms as drinkers of this type often spend as much as £50 a day on alcohol.
- All rough pubs serve cider, because cider is the favourite drink of teenage girls, and rough pubs want to attract teenage girls because they in turn attract lecherous old men - one of the biggest drinking groups yet identified. However, almost all pubs serve cider, so discovering it in a pub is not necessarily a sign that the establishment is a rough pub. You will need to pay attention to how the cider is served: if it comes by the pint, you are probably not in a rough pub. If it's served in a three-litre blue bottle with a label saying "Diamond White," you are almost certainly in a rough pub.
- A sure sign of a rough pub is a methylated-spirits tap on the bar. The better type of rough pub will have two types - traditional Meths, consumed at room temperature, and Meths Extra Cold for the ladies.
- Urine remains a perennial favourite tipple, generally from the tap marked 'F.'
The Licensee
As stated previously, the landlord of any rough pub is likely to be an ex-gangster, who will have acquired the capital to buy the premises by robbing a bank. It is quite likely that they have kept the sawn-off shotgun they used and now keep it under the bar to help persuade anyone who complains that the beer is watered down that this in not, in fact, the case.
One notable example of this type of licensee is Peggy, landlady of the notorious Queen Victoria situated in Albert Square, Walford, London, who made an undisclosed sum of money from various illegal activities in the East End during the 1960s.
In the case of Oirish rough pubs, the licensee is very unlikely to actually be Oirish - especially if it's an American Oirish pub (although their great-great-great grandparents may have met an Oirishman once). One rare example of an Oirish rough pub with a landlord who is, in fact, Oirish is Pete O'Phile, landlord of "The Pig and Hurl" in Liverpool (note: 'hurl' refers to the axe-shaped
weapon stick used in the traditional Oirish sport known as hurling, rather than to bodily functions displayed by regulars after their seventeenth pint of Guinness at about 2pm every afternoon).
|A packet of pork scratchings, my good man....
On the whole, food in rough pubs will be limited to crisps, served by the packet from a large box with the best-before date scribbled out. However, in recent years, rough pubs began to experiment with other foodstuffs in an attempt to increase their turn-over.
The first food tried was peanuts, which went on sale at "The Sawn-Off and Rottweiler Tavern" in Bradford, in 1989. Peanuts were an instant success, with sales of over 20 packs a week. The manufacturer of the peanuts then came up with a revolutionary idea - they attached the packets to a piece of card with a picture of a naked lady printed on it which could be hung behind the bar, so that every pack bought revealed a bit more of the image. Sales instantly rocketed to 40 packs a day.
Once it was shown that food could be a valuable money-spinner in rough pubs (after all, a high percentage of the clientele in rough pubs never leave, and they have to eat occasionally), several establishments introduced other dishes. As a case in point, "The Pitbull and Hammer" currently has an extensive menu, including the following:
- Special Brew and Kebab Meat Pie, made from
road-killthe freshest ingredients and deep-frozen then warmed up in the microwavecooked to order by their NVQ Cookery (failed)fully-trained chef. The recipe is along the lines of that traditional and popular British pub staple, the Steak and Ale Pie, but adapted so as to appeal to Real Men.
- Meat Curry at just £1 a plate.
- Named Meat Curry at £2 a plate.
- Various drugs.
Rough Pub Games
Pub games have been a feature of pubs since pubs were first invented, and usually take the form of darts, snooker, cribbage, dominos and the like - pleasant, gentle games that can be played for small wagers. Rough pubs have adapted some of these activities to suit their discerning clientele, for example:
- Traditionally, darts is played by throwing small, pointed darts at a dartboard. In rough pubs, this has been transformed into a game known as shooting, in which a hand-gun is used to propel a small metallic object known as a 'bullet' into the head of 'that motherfucker who still owes me a hundred quid for that cocaine I sold 'im last month, the cunt.'
- Snooker has been replaced with a game known as GBH, which requires less space because it does not use the large and ungainly snooker table - this has the added advantage of freeing up more space to fit drinkers into. Instead, the snooker cues are smashed round the head of a similar character to that used in 'shooting.'
- Fighting is a popular game in rough pubs. The participants in rough pub fights usually have no training from a recognised body such as a martial arts club, and hence are often over-looked as sportsmen. However, anyone who can hold their own down "The Cross-Bow and Coke-Habit" come closing-time on a Saturday night is a true professional.
- Badger Baiting. Contrary to popular belief, badgers are not the gentle and jovial creatures that appear in The Tales of Beatrix Potter and The Wind In The Willows. They're actually extremely hard, vicious and usually very pissed-off mentalists that spend much of their time getting shit-faced on rotten, fermenting apples. Feeding a badger a bottle of Scotch and shoving it in a pit with a couple of Staffordshire Bull Terriers is a popular entertainment in many rough pubs, with many establishments waiving their usually-strict 'No Children' rule so that the kids of regulars can come along and join in the fun.
Walk into any rough pub anywhere in the world, and you can meet exactly the same sort of people. No matter which country, and no matter which type of rough pub, only the accents of the regulars change.
- Gangsters can be found drinking in all rough pubs, not just running them. You can recognise them by their facial scars (worn proudly as proof of survivng a 'Chelsea smile' attack) and limping, a sign that they've been knee-capped at some time in the past. They will usually wear a suit with an odd, gun-shaped bump on the chest.
- Gangstas can also be found in rough pubs. This group can be recognised by the way they talk - much like a combination of the gangsters and Rastafarians. They too have facial scars, but theirs are caused by acne rather than vicious beatings at the hands of enemy gangs. Rather than suits, they tend to wear clothing with fake designer labels and baseball caps.
- Women, of a sort, can often be found in rough pubs. The younger ones are usually touting for business and can be recognised easily as they often have at least two small, screaming children stuffed under the table (and often a small, screaming child-to-be on the way stuffed in the womb). They will be drinking either cider or WKD Blue. The older variety are best kept away from - although they tend to be in the rough pub to get drunk rather than to find trade, many of them will, after
thirty pintsa glass of wine or two, develop a delusion that they 'still have it'. This will lead them to try to ensnare the attentions of a young man - if you are unfortunate enough to be the young man in question, be warned that this sort of 'woman' is not actually a human woman at all, but a type of vaguely-female monster that is much, much stronger than you. If she wants it, you won't be able to do a thing to stop her.
