EU/IMF to look at terms of loan rather than tax rate
Government's patent attempt to mislead public has proved a last straw for electorate
THE NAIVE, week-long attempt by the Government to disguise the reality of discussions taking place with the European Central Bank (ECB), the European Commission and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on an Irish rescue plan seems to have been a misconceived effort to strengthen its bargaining power in the face of a new and alarming phase in our prolonged financial crisis.
This foolish and transparent ploy achieved nothing positive, but it had several damaging consequences. Thus it clearly infuriated a worried ECB, which needs to pull back from its huge credit provision to our small state, and it clearly also irritated our EU partners, whose goodwill we desperately need at this juncture. This patent attempt to mislead also proved a last straw for our own electorate.
The damage done to what remained of our international credibility was fortunately retrieved on Thursday morning by the straight-talking interview that Central Bank governor Patrick Honohan gave to RTÉ, which reverberated around the financial world. Remaining within his role and emphasising that the impending discussions would be with the Government and not with the Central Bank, he succeeded in clarifying a very confused situation by explaining that a team was being sent here to agree a package that would be acceptable. He added that he expected that a loan would be put in place, running into tens of billions, to assist us with our banking emergency. While this might not be needed, it could be drawn down if necessary.
How did the Government react to this intervention? Later on Thursday the Taoiseach, still apparently in denial, repudiated Honohan's view, which he said did not necessarily reflect that of the Government. "The governor is part of the Governing Council of the ECB and it is a matter of public knowledge what the ECB general view has been," said Cowen.
In this statement, the Taoiseach was also repudiating what his Minister for Finance had told the Dáil earlier in the day. With what seemed like relief at being freed from what may have been an imposed requirement to obscure the reality of what was happening, Brian Lenihan had at once came clean. For he told the Dáil that he agreed with Honohan's comments to the effect that "a substantial contingency capital fund" could be made available to the State that could "create confidence in the firepower available but not be drawn down by the banking system". This "would be a very welcome development for the State".
Such an open divergence between the views of the Taoiseach and his Minister for Finance is extremely disturbing and a government so deeply divided cannot long remain in office.
However, I think that the balance of advantage would not lie in an election before the budget – in the middle of an international rescue operation. Once these two matters have been dealt with by this Government, it should call a January election rather than wait for death by a thousand cuts – or rather by a series of byelections.
The diminution of our sovereignty is dramatised by the presence in Dublin of an international rescue team, but our capacity to determine our own future was prejudiced quite some time ago when a combination of the failures of our banking system and of our public finances put us massively in hock to the ECB. That left us vulnerable to action by that institution, which 10 days ago decided that it could no longer sustain this growing Irish drain on its finances, which was starting to threaten its capacity to steer the euro zone through its existential crisis.
It is a measure of the enormous scale of the damage done by the policy failures of the governments of the past decade that these blunders have put at risk not alone the solvency of the small Irish economy but the survival of the whole euro zone.
Two or perhaps three issues may come up for discussion in the negotiations at Upper Merrion Street.
The first will involve the conditions to be attached to the proposed loan. Honohan believes that the steps we are already taking may be largely sufficient to meet the requirements of our potential lenders. Although we have not yet furnished to the commission full details of our €6 billion budget measures or of our four-year fiscal plan, Ollie Rehn of the commission has been well enough briefed about our Government's budgetary and four-year fiscal plans to have been able to indicate the commission's broad approval of these proposals.
While it is possible that the IMF will look for something extra, there is a good chance that in this aspect of the problem we may not be required to do much more than implement the measures to which we have already wisely committed – although it is perhaps possible that the €15 billion target of adjustments over the next four years might have to be somewhat increased.
I doubt our visitors will be impressed by the Croke Park agreement, which blocks any move to bring our public service pay rates down towards those of most of our EU partners. But they may decide to leave it to a future government to decide whether this issue will need to be re-addressed before 2014.
A second issue will be the terms of the proposed loan. Will we be charged a fee of some kind for any part of this facility that is not used? And what interest rate will be charged on any money actually drawn down – 5 per cent? It is in any event clear that this new loan will certainly cost us a good deal more than the present ECB facility.
A third possible issue – which in my view simply ought not to arise – is our corporate tax rate.
Some EU governments may pretend to believe that it would be sensible of us to raise additional revenue by increasing our corporate tax rate – but their real concern is, of course, to make us less competitive with their own industries than we are at present.
But I would have thought that the key concern of this expert team must be to enhance, rather than to diminish by such an imposition, our future growth prospects.

Iraqi officials say a string of morning attacks across Baghdad has killed at least 31 people.
The officials say the bombings and shootings on Thursday mostly appeared to target police.
The worst blast detonated in the Shiite neighborhood of Karradah during rush hour, shaking buildings and windows blocks away. Police said nine people were killed and 24 wounded in the explosion at the center of Baghdad's downtown shopping district near a security checkpoint.
Attacks in Baqouba, Kirkuk and in Salahuddin provinces were also reported.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
BAGHDAD (AP) - Officials say a string of morning attacks that mostly appear to target police have killed at least 22 people across the Iraqi capital.
The deadliest blast came in the Shiite neighborhood of Karradah during the morning rush hour. Police said nine people were killed and 24 wounded in the explosion that shook buildings and windows blocks away.
Officials at nearby Ibn al-Nafis and al-Rahibat hospitals confirmed the casualties. All spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the information.
After Karradah, at least four more bombings were reported in the city. Earlier on Wednesday, police said gunmen with silenced pistols killed six policemen at a drive-by shooting at a security checkpoint in a Sunni area in northern Baghdad.

FRAMINGHAM, Mass. {AP} Forget stale popcorn and watered-down soda. Forget broken seats, tiny screens and bad speakers.
Movie theater owners want people to think mixed drinks, rib-eye steak and squash-filled ravioli. Served in leather chairs in front of screens that go from floor to ceiling. With intense, near-deafening sound.
Everything from full dinners to Ferris wheel rides now are being offered to lure consumers, who are faced with an increasing number of options to going to the movies.
More than a century after well-dressed theatergoers crowded to see the first moving picture, a night at some theaters has returned to what it once was: an event.
"It used to be that you could pay 25 cents and get more than just a feature-length movie for your money," said Terrance Demas, director of the League of Historic American Theaters in Baltimore. "With TV, that somehow got lost. Now, that's what people want again."
In 1999, theaters took in nearly $7 billion in ticket sales, up more than $1 billion from the previous year, according to the National Association of Theater Owners.
But with the rapid growth of new media and home entertainment systems, theater owners are concerned those numbers could start to drop if they don't offer their patrons more than just popcorn and a movie.

Australia's Minister for Health, Tony Abbott, will present a $60-million package to cabinet today, which would allow women with unplanned pregnancies to seek counseling from trained professionals.
The plan's measures would allow women with unplanned pregnancies to seek optional counseling from trained professionals under a Medicare rebate. The women would be referred to psychologists, doctors of nurses with psychology training by their general practitioners. It also includes a proposal for a 24-hour national telephone service for pregnancy counseling, reported the Sydney Morning Herald.
Church groups have expressed an interest in offering such services under the plan. Many already run pregnancy support services and say that, although their views on abortion are well known, their counseling services canvass all options.
Abbott said he does not have a problem with church groups expressing their interest. He said he has "a great deal of confidence" in church groups to deliver professional health services, which they currently offer with a "Christian ethos of love and compassion." But he did not commit to including them in the plan.
Catholic Welfare Australia executive director, Frank Quinlan, agrees there is a need for the new plan, but says more counseling services are needed to help women with unplanned or unwanted pregnancies make decisions about their future and to help women after they had abortions.

Janesville Legion closes out Colorado road trip
The Rake Nation baseball team didn't let the Janesville Legion team leave Colorado on a high note.
The select team of top players from the Colorado Springs area notched walk-off wins in both games of a Saturday doubleheader, winning 14-13 and 10-9.
Janesville's Post 205 fell to 12-9 overall and went 5-6 on its trip out west.
"We were playing at 9,000 feet today, and the ball was just flying," Janesville coach Bob Schenck said. "I think the kids probably came together as a team on this trip. We went to Pikes Peak and a Rockies game, so that was nice.
"Our hitting is there. We're going to hit and score runs, now we've just go to figure out how to stop teams."
Errors stung Janesville on its trip, and the final day was no different. Post 205 had 12 blunders in the first game alone, and its pitchers gave up just four earned runs.
The teams traded the lead back and forth until Rake Nation hit a no-out, two-run walk-off home run in the bottom of the seventh inning.
"The problem with so many errors is that 30 percent of the pitches that were thrown came after our pitchers should have been out of the inning," Schenck said. "So pitch counts go up and up and up."
In the second game, Janesville led 4-0, 5-3 and 6-5 but couldn't make the advantages hold up. It had the bases loaded and nobody out with one run already in during the top of the sixth inning, but Post 205 couldn't plate another run.
"We had a chance to break the game open and didn't," Schenck said.
Brandon Hughes hit two home runs on the day, including one in the top of the seventh to tie the game, 9-9. But Rake closed out the day with three hits to lead off its turn in the seventh and walked away as winners once again.
Janesville averaged nearly 12 runs per game on the road trip but gave up more than 10 per outing.
The team returns home today and will play a doubleheader at Baraboo Tuesday night.

Typically, this is the value reported 238 in the PF's SR-IOV extended capability structure's TotalVFs 239 element. Drivers have the ability at probe time to reduce the 240 value read from this file via the pci_sriov_set_totalvfs() 241 function. 242 243 What: /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../sriov_numvfs 244 Date: November 2012 245 Contact: Donald Dutile <firstname.lastname@example.com> 246 Description: 247 This file appears when a physical PCIe device supports SR-IOV. 248 Userspace applications can read and write to this file to 249 determine and control the enablement or disablement of Virtual 250 Functions (VFs) on the physical function (PF). A read of this 251 file will return the number of VFs that are enabled on this PF. 252 A number written to this file will enable the specified 253 number of VFs. A userspace application would typically read the 254 file and check that the value is zero, and then write the number 255 of VFs that should be enabled on the PF; the value written 256 should be less than or equal to the value in the sriov_totalvfs 257 file. A userspace application wanting to disable the VFs would 258 write a zero to this file. The core ensures that valid values 259 are written to this file, and returns errors when values are not 260 valid. For example, writing a 2 to this file when sriov_numvfs 261 is not 0 and not 2 already will return an error. Writing a 10 262 when the value of sriov_totalvfs is 8 will return an error. 263 264 What: /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../driver_override 265 Date: April 2014 266 Contact: Alex Williamson <firstname.lastname@example.com> 267 Description: 268 This file allows the driver for a device to be specified which 269 will override standard static and dynamic ID matching. When 270 specified, only a driver with a name matching the value written 271 to driver_override will have an opportunity to bind to the 272 device. The override is specified by writing a string to the 273 driver_override file (echo pci-stub > driver_override) and 274 may be cleared with an empty string (echo > driver_override). 275 This returns the device to standard matching rules binding. 276 Writing to driver_override does not automatically unbind the 277 device from its current driver or make any attempt to 278 automatically load the specified driver. If no driver with a 279 matching name is currently loaded in the kernel, the device 280 will not bind to any driver. This also allows devices to 281 opt-out of driver binding using a driver_override name such as 282 "none". Only a single driver may be specified in the override, 283 there is no support for parsing delimiters. 284 285 What: /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../numa_node 286 Date: Oct 2014 287 Contact: Prarit Bhargava <firstname.lastname@example.com> 288 Description: 289 This file contains the NUMA node to which the PCI device is 290 attached, or -1 if the node is unknown. The initial value 291 comes from an ACPI _PXM method or a similar firmware 292 source. If that is missing or incorrect, this file can be 293 written to override the node. In that case, please report 294 a firmware bug to the system vendor. Writing to this file 295 taints the kernel with TAINT_FIRMWARE_WORKAROUND, which 296 reduces the supportability of your system. 297 298 What: /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../revision 299 Date: November 2016 300 Contact: Emil Velikov <firstname.lastname@example.com> 301 Description: 302 This file contains the revision field of the PCI device. 303 The value comes from device config space. The file is read only. 304 305 What: /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../sriov_drivers_autoprobe 306 Date: April 2017 307 Contact: Bodong Wang<firstname.lastname@example.com> 308 Description: 309 This file is associated with the PF of a device that 310 supports SR-IOV. It determines whether newly-enabled VFs 311 are immediately bound to a driver. It initially contains 312 1, which means the kernel automatically binds VFs to a 313 compatible driver immediately after they are enabled. If 314 an application writes 0 to the file before enabling VFs, 315 the kernel will not bind VFs to a driver. 316 317 A typical use case is to write 0 to this file, then enable 318 VFs, then assign the newly-created VFs to virtual machines. 319 Note that changing this file does not affect already- 320 enabled VFs. In this scenario, the user must first disable 321 the VFs, write 0 to sriov_drivers_autoprobe, then re-enable 322 the VFs. 323 324 This is similar to /sys/bus/pci/drivers_autoprobe, but 325 affects only the VFs associated with a specific PF.

The late-October storm Sandy exacerbated Connecticut Light & Power's inefficiencies, according to a letter to Connecticut Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA) from various town head's including First Selectman Jayme Stevenson.
"In our opinion, the CL&P performance continued to be well below our needs and expectations," said the letter addressed to Arthur House, chairman of PURA. The letter was submitted by Gordon F. Joseloff, chairman of the South West Regional Metropolitan Planning Organization and First Selectman of Westport on behalf of Darien, Greenwich, New Canaan, Weston, Wilton, Norwalk and Stamford.
The regulatory authority opened an investigation into CL&P and United Illuminating on Monday, Nov. 26 in accordance with Connecticut Public Act 12-148, which requires PURA to review electric companies practices after an emergency when more than ten percent of their respective customers were without power for more than 48 hours.
The review will look at adherence to a pre-established emergency plan for timely power restoration, tree-trimming policies, and efforts for communication with state and local officials, and customers.
Three public hearings took place at Waterford ,Westport and East Haven in early January.
The towns acknowledged that power restoration requires some time and "high levels of communication and cooperation" between the local departments and CL&P, the letter said, but local responders were able to "perform as expected, even above expectations."
The towns have not seen any evidence that CL&P has made significant improvements "over the last few years," despite previous hearings and meetings, the letter said.
The utility company essentially has no competition in the market and therefore, customers have to deal with the company's actions, and rely on the regulatory authority to act on their behalf, the letter said.
It is also noted that there has been talk from CL&P employees that the company does not encourage creative customer service actions.
"We believe that CL&P's problems are deeply rooted in its inability and lack of focus as a company to make massive storm related power outages a major organizational initiative," the officials wrote.
The letter also contains a list of observations and recommendations, all of which are submitted as a docket for the Sandy investigation.
The towns noted the poor communication from the company's representatives, and the inconsistency of information between representatives at various levels. The lack of information about when crews would be sent out, when they could work, the number of assigned crews and their specific jobs was also an issue.
There were not enough crews in some towns, and the initial stages of clearing trees and lines was delayed. Some line crews did not have adequate equipment, the letter said, because the company expected it to be available in the towns.
The letter also stated that the term "crews" itself is unclear because it does not imply the number of people working.
After Sandy, First Selectman Jayme Stevenson answered questions from residents about recovery efforts at an event at Darien library. Some asked questions about how restoration was prioritized. Stevenson repetitively stated that setting priorities rested with CL&P but noted that certain town properties, such as Town Hall, were at the top of the list.
The officials suggested that CL&P communicate with a two-tier priority plan through field supervisors after the emergency.
The utility's "800" number caused some of the confusion, according to the letter. The number "told First Selectmen or Mayors to set restoration priorities." Only schools and nursing homes were identified as priorities by the 800 number, but not any residential areas.
They also criticized CL&P's power outages maps, which display what percent of each town's customers do not have power.
"Outages by municipality should only show the number of customers out, as this is the most meaningful number. Showing percentages "out" makes it a competition between towns that citizens watch and when one town lags another, they criticize town officials for not beating up CL&P harder," the letter said.
The Metropolitan Planning Agency, on behalf of the towns, submitted the letter because they rely on PURA to impose sanctions based on CL&P's effort to improve communication and response to the area, the letter said.
A review of the utilities response to Hurricane Irene and an October snowstorm in 2011, by PURA, revealed inadequate response by the company.
The regulatory authority stated that future electric rates would be scrutinized, and possibly subject to reduction at their discretion. The same decision applied to the company's potential storm reimbursement.
Evidence submitted to PURA, and decisions, can be viewed at Ct.gov/pura. The towns' letter is docket no. 12-11-07.
Formal, closed hearings with the utility companies will proceed in early May, according to Gross of CL&P.

If you're going to overwrite a review someone else actually worked on, please write something complete, and review the album in full, rather do a case study on the social circle of Josh Homme.
You and your review suck.
Your wasting oxygen. Lullabies to Paralyze rocks.
I agree that Lullabies is not nearly as good as any other work by QotSA but you sound like you stole this. Very similar to Rolling Stone's review. Lullaby is probably my favorite song, if only for Lanegan's vocals. Little Sister is a miserable song and does not deserve any radio play.
Personally I'm not a fan of QOTSA so I wouldn't consider buying this. I'd like to say it's "nice" to see an album get 2 stars, if only because the majority of the albums reviewed here are reviewed by major fans, and thus almost all albums get 4 or 5 stars.
Good review, I haven't read the other one yet but I will to get a different view.
Well thats two completely different reviews to utterly confuse me. Mine should be getting delivered in a couple of days. I await it with a mixture of excitement as well as a worry that i've wasted my money.
We'll see
Album Rating: 2.0erm. to all concenred. I didnt steal this, but I wrote it for a different website. as I do. http://www.dirtyzine.co.uk
and to all those that have just said "you suck" with no argument. get a fucking life and accept that people have other views.
Im a huge QotSA fan, doesnt mean that I didnt enjoy this very much.
Ur review sux. Therefore u suck. Lullabies to Paralyze is a great album. U dint even give a review of each song. Y not acually do a good review next time. idiot
Now, was metallica maniac serious, or was that a very subtle irony?
Ah, the delights of trying to distinguish the subtle from the truly stupid...
After realising that I forgot to say what I came here to say, and noting the lack of an edit button:
This review is all well and good, but what I wanted to read was an honest appraisal of this record. Which I admit I got - but I had to search for it amongst all the rubbish about how Josh Homme can't make it without the rest of his old band. Don't get me wrong; I'm not much of a QotSA fan, and I don't have much of an opinion about whether Homme needs other people to work off. The review was confusing and unfocused. Next time, save something like this for a music magazine or an online journal - because this is a site for CD reviews, and a CD review this ain't.
Album Rating: 4.5the one who reviewed this. the name really suits you, u are a nimrod. this album is fantastic! I am a huge qotsa fan who has 3 of their albums and i reckon this the most energetic of them all. U call yourself a fan, u dont sound like one.
Man, some of you people are being really stupid to be honest. To the guy above me...just because you don't like an album by a band, doesn't mean you aren't necessarily a fan of the band. I think some of the stuff Bob Dylan's recorded is complete trash, and I still think he's one of the greatest recording artists of all time. I haven't got this album yet, but from what I've heard it is a bit disappointing, although I agree with people who are saying that this review wasn't really all that helpful, as it talks too much about Homme and his social group, at the expense of discussing the music. Having said that, it's nice to see two genuinely differing opinions on an album.
mark lanegan still hangs around with them in the studio. he was even on the tour with them and sang on a few songs
your review is shit man
Album Rating: 4.5I might write my own later if i have time, shove this out of the way.
Album Rating: 2.0cheers to asheroth and Med57 for actually posting valid comments.
Yeah, I wrote this review for a music e-zine originally, so thats why its not like what you'd find around here. So in future, for this sight ill edit them to suit the needs of this site.
Final Origin, I'd like to see your review if you do it. But please don't claim that i'm not a fan because I didnt like this album. I own all four albums, therefore I am at a position to state what I this was great and what wasnt. and In this case, I loved the first three albums, but this just didnt do anything for me.
everyone else I can't be bothered to consider or acknowledge. later.
the review is fine. but it semx to have been lifted wholesale from kerrang's review of this album. Also tshi labum is more predictabel than Queens usual stuff. but if your a kyuss and early queens fan this certainly wont get on well with you if you wnann hear more msuic like that.
Album Rating: 2.0its not that I wanted to hear more music like that, just that I wanted queens to progress, not make a drone.
Album Rating: 3.0What's the fuss? This is a great review.
The album gets a 3.5/5 from me. Distinctly average for Homme's standards.
Yes, I must say that you did a.........Wait, you didn't do much of anything. You are a cynical little smart@ss who obviously shouldn't be allowed to speak/ think (or dress) for yourself. By all means, everyone is entitled to their own personal opinions, mine is that you have bad taste in music. Maybe you would rather bob your head to some "Simple Plan" and softly cry when the song "Perfect" comes on. Oh yeah, one more thing before I must depart, you disgust me.

I am planning to purchase the Pro-ject Debut Carbon turntable and the Wharfedale Diamond 10.1 speakers (or maybe Paradigm Atom v5). The final stumbling point: an integrated amp!
My budget for the amp is around $500, although if I could spend less that would be great. The Music Hall seems to me to be best-in-class for that price range, although I've read good things about the Cambridge Audio Topaz AM1 as well. Is the Music Hall worth the extra $150?
Any other advice regarding good amps in that price range would also be appreciated. I am leaning towards an integrated amp as opposed to a receiver, as I intend this to be a dedicated vinyl system and space is at a premium. But I'd be interested in hearing if there are receivers in the $500 price range that will outperform the sound of the Music Hall or Cambridge Audio.

As Joe did say in his reply, you have to keep this information somewhere, when not using dh_python. For the current Zope packaging policy, there exists such a .dzproduct file which holds meta information about the product (including product dependencies). That was added fearing a pollution of the big metadata file. To extract this information you have to extract the .deb and use your own set of tools. Exposing the metadata (one attribute) to the place where it belongs lets you do the query work using just the available tools. And maybe it's worth to add this attribute to the source package as well to say something about for which versions this package can be built. Matthias

TRAIL - The West Kelowna Warriors kept pace with Salmon Arm Silverbacks in the BCHL standings with a 4-2 win over the Smoke Eaters in Trail on Saturday, Feb. 21.
Jonathan Desbiens opened the scoring on a great move in tight, going short side on Brett Clark while the two teams played four-on-four for the second time in the first 11 minutes.
There were six power plays in the opening period as the Warriors worked on their third man advantage when the buzzer sounded. Shots were 8-7 for Trail in the first 20 minutes.
There would be no penalties called in the second period, as the refs allowed the teams to play showing the speed and talent of both teams throughout the frame.
With just over five minutes to go in the period, Nick Rutigliano attempted to clear the puck and hit an odd spot on the boards just inside the zone, bouncing right back to Max Newton who fired one past Scott Patton to tie the game up at one.
Unlike last Friday when the Warriors allowed four quick goals in the second to Trail, West Kelowna got a bounce of their own and it would be Rutigliano's stick that it would end up on. His slap shot from the point eluded Brett Clark for a 2-1 lead heading to the final period.
The Smoke Eaters would come out strong in the final frame as Harlan Orr scored 55 seconds into the period to tie the game up at two each.
Five minutes after the tying goal by Trail, Desbiens would get his second of the night after some hard work from Brayden Gelsinger to get the puck to the net.
From there, the Warriors committed to blocking shots and Patton was there when the Warriors needed him, as he made 30 saves for the win.
Warriors action resumes Tuesday, Feb. 24 at Royal Lepage Place when they will play the rematch against Trail, trying to get one of those final two playoff spots.

Water Filters and Membranes
In this world of growing water needs the ability to purify water is becoming more and more important. While many systems and techniques have been conceived to accomplish this task they all require periodic filter changing. Multiple purification techniques have been proven to work well including activated carbon filters, sediment filters and reverse osmosis membranes.
Carbon filters help to scrub water of chlorine and chloramines as well as other harmful contaminants. Sediment filters are the more traditional form of water purification that helps to remove most of the small particles present in most water. Reverse osmosis membranes are the newest improvement in water purification.
These membranes are semi-permeable composites that only allow extremely small molecules to pass through. Water molecules easily pass through this membrane while almost all impurities are left behind. The combination of these three purification techniques produces extremely high quality water that can be used for irrigation, home use and even for drinking and cooking.

The poem(s) are below...
I'm not a sweetheart or an angel
I could get really rude
I'm not always in a bright mood
I admit I have a attitude problem
I get easily annoyed
I always listen to people over you
And I'm always paranoid…
I get very *****y
And you point out all of these…and I can't understand why
Cause you're most defiantly not the good guy
You get mad to quick
You're the definition of a Hypocrite
You can't keep your hands to your self… nor your eyes
Which knowing you, shouldn't be a surprise
You're controlling,
I can't even have a boy as a friend without you knowing
Or going in for no reason
And your mos. def. a great actor
You had me fooled for a quick minute
I'm glad I never let my guard down for a second
I know I lied about ever loving you
But I never went behind you back and talked to your little cousin
Nigga you were bugging
I don't know but maybe you think I'm dumb or stupid
But I'm smart enough not to dare go back out with you
But its not you nor me...its us
We just can't be
I can be very *****y
And your just plain crazy
So in conclusion
Don't try to put it all on me
Cause it was defiantly 50/50……

The agent of David Trezeguet says a move to England is an option for the Juventus striker.
Antonio Caliendo said: "The English option is possible and there are quite a few different clubs interested in David.
"Obviously I cannot say which, but just think about the sides that can afford a world class player like him. There aren't all that many to choose from."
Manchester City, Arsenal and Tottenham are all being linked with the France international.

1 in 7 Israelis Will Be Over 65 by 2030
The only solution is working past retirement age, says ministry DG.
Israel will have 1.4 million citizens 65 years or older by 2030. That works out to 14% of the total projected population, or about one in 7 people, according to Finance Ministry figures.
Currently, people over 65 make up only 10% of the population - one in 10 people.
A rapid increase in the number of older citizens may bring social services to the point of collapse, a concern in countries with rapidly aging populations such as the United States.
Most of the country's elderly citizens are dependent on old-age stipends from the state, and one-quarter are also dependent on income supplements.
More than half of the elderly - 54.8% - are defined as poor, states the Ministry for Senior Citizens. After factoring in state payments, the figure drops to 19.6%.
The state currently spends NIS 1.4 billion caring for elderly citizens under the Nursing Law, said Ministry Director General Aharon Azoulay. But that figure is likely to expand significantly, he said.
"From the late 1970s through the end of the 1980s, the average patient needed 1.8 years of nursing care," he said. "Now the figure is 3.7 years. By 2030 at this pace, it will be 6 to 7 years, and costs will increase accordingly. People over the age of 85 will need more years of care."
The only solution is increasing the number of people over age 65 who are still working, he said. Currently, the figure is 12.6%.
"I don't see anything wrong with postponing retirement," he said. "It's for the good of older citizens, and I don't want to do anything by force. We conducted a survey that found that most people right before retirement age and after retirement age want to work. After two or three years in retirement, people miss working and are fed up with not doing anything."
This means addressing ageism in the Israeli labor market, where people are considered old by 45, he said. Every year through 2030, tens of thousands of pensioners need to return to work, he said.
"Every year, the 67-year-old new retirees are healthier, younger and more technologically knowledgeable, and thus better prepared to keep working," he said.
Pensioners can no longer be lumped into one group, he added. "A 67-year-old bears no resemblance to a 97-year-old," he said. "A younger pensioner can still offer value, volunteer, work, help the economy expand. He or she offers the economy way more than it would need to invest in him," he said.

Rich, Realistic Sound
The playing experience is simply extraordinary with an emotional range extending from the heartiest fortissimo to the most delicate and nuanced pianissimo. Ivory II Grand Pianos will breathe under your fingers, inspiring your best performance from a truly organic instrument.
A host of new piano-centric features have been added to the Ivory II engine. Principal among them is Sympathetic String Resonance, a long sought after but elusive characteristic of real pianos that Synthogy approaches in a completely new and unique way, realizing the true complexities and subtleties of sympathetic string excitation. Harmonic Resonance Modeling is a brand new technology that does not rely upon triggering additional samples, ordinary sine waves, or recordings in any way. Rather, notes struck that are harmonically related excite the actual complex overtones of the notes that are being held, in the same manner that undampened strings ring in a real acoustic piano. The result is an unprecedented new level of realism.
In-Depth Control
Ivory II also delivers some of Synthogy's most frequent customer requests, with features such as Half Pedaling, Lid Position, Pedal Noise, and Tuning Tables to provide even greater detail and control. Additionally, features like Timbre Shifting, Parametric EQ, and new Synth Layer controls offer powerful new sound sculpting capabilities for custom piano programming and sound design.At the heart of Ivory II are Ivory's legendary pianos. Each Ivory piano has been further refined and developed, including expanded velocity levels (up to 18 per piano), additional soft pedal samples, and more release samples. Synthogy's decades of expertise in piano development, along with proprietary "timbre interpolation" technology combine to deliver greater fidelity, unrivalled playability, and a musical experience that is unsurpassed. Ivory II represents the most significant design enhancement to Ivory's custom piano technology since its introduction. Years in the making, every effort has been taken to assure that Ivory II is a true and worthy successor to the legacy established by our original Ivory products.

An ambulance was pulling out as I pulled into the parking lot of the Seabury Heights Apartments yesterday. It isn�t an infrequent sight at a housing complex for the elderly, but on a day like this when the temperature reached 94 degrees it tends to put a little edge on things.
The faint breeze that idled by as I exited the car was as soothing as a blast from an exhaust pipe. Still, it was welcome relief for the half dozen or so tenants sitting outside on benches or in their wheelchairs.
Inside one apartment building, on the first floor near the elevators, I ran into John M. Ford, a Fire Department captain and director of the city�s Emergency Management Team. Other city officials �one with the Board of Health and another from the Code Department � were touring the building.
They were there because the residents had called to complain that management was refusing to turn on the air conditioning, despite the high temperatures.
�It�s the perfect storm,� Mr. Ford said.
I didn�t ask him to explain. I figured he was talking about the combination of the heat, the frailties of the elderly and the inflexibility of state regulations that the heating system in housing for the elderly must remain operational until June 15.
�It is not a switch-on-and-off system,� Mr. Ford said.
�You just can�t turn a lever and go from hot to cold. You have to shut down the heating system before you can turn on the air conditioning. There are some code requirements.�
Tenants, however, were appealing to common sense.
�Look at my feet,� implored Rita Beauragard, pointing toward what looked like two elongated water balloons in slippers. �Look how swollen they are.�
Mr. Ford nodded sympathetically.
With no breeze to move the air inside the building, it settled on a person, beading into sweat drops with the slightest of movement.
Other tenants took turns buzzing around the visiting officials, glad for the attention but unhappy about what they were hearing from them.
�I called the Board of Health. They referred me to HUD,� said Colleen Shannon, president of the resident council.
�I call HUD and they referred me to the state. I contacted Jim McGovern�s office and I sent a letter to Senator Kennedy�s office, and this evening, I am going to talk about it on the �Jordan Levy Show.� �
While personal air-conditioning units are banned, at least one tenant, judging from a unit extending from a window, was defying the ban.
Kathy Smith, who relies on a wheelchair and is accompanied by a NEADS dog, Lucy, fights the heat by driving to �Med City to cool off and give her (the dog) some relief.�
Last year, the heat system was shut down before June 15 and a couple of tenants complained because temperatures in the building fell.
Jean Bourgeois believes that last year�s experience influenced management�s decision to hold out until the deadline this year.
�Can you believe that?� the 83-year-old tenant asked.
�We complained and they tape the law to the wall, saying that according to the Board of Health, the heat must stay on until June 15.
�Well, the law doesn�t stop them from putting on the air,� she said, noting that she has a heart and lung condition and is handicapped.
�This is a major heat wave. A lot of elderly and handicapped people live here.�
It is not officially a heat wave in Worcester, but I didn�t argue that point with her.
Management was not unmoved by the tenants� plight. Four industrial size fans, two in each of the common areas of the two-building, 300-room complex waged a gallant fight.
The common areas also were stocked with gallons of ice tea.
Mr. Ford and the other city officials said the tenants were not in grave danger, and they will continue to monitor the condition of the apartment complex in the coming days.
Still, the officials seemed uncomfortable with the situation, and for good reason.
It is not an easy or an admirable thing to rationalize away common sense.
