Not-So-Clean Sweep!
Wow, this was a heckuva series against the Reds. The Cards had to rise to the occasion, and boy, did they – with hitting, pitching, and fire in the bellies.
Something about Tuesday's brawl reminded me of this scene from The Last Detail (warning: bad language). It's all about flaring tempers and strong words, nobody really gets hurt, but Jack gets a total feeling of exhilaration from the altercation.
That type of adrenalin rush seems to be what happened to the Cards. After being the center of the fight with Brandon Phillips, Yadi hit a home run, and the Cards just rolled from there, right back into first place.
There's not much to say about Phillips' inane comments about his hatred of the Cards. It certainly wasn't professional or very sportsmanlike. But if that's what it took to get the Cards riled up enough to finally play with some fire, then I'm glad he mouthed off.
Now bring on the team Phillips prefers to the Cardinals – the Cubbies!
1 Comment
If you're going to run your mouth, fine. But at least back it up on the field. Instead, when you hit .143 for the series and your team gets spanked like a grade school team, you look ridiculous. The Cardinals looked ready for the postseason in this series and the Reds simply did not.

Get a great-value Timing Belt Replacement with our Houghton le Spring Chevrolet Specialists.
They have fixed my car Hyundai getz twice now and always were cheaper than others and faster. These days its hard to take days of work for cars getting fixed as it actually makes the car cost a lot more. Thankfully both times they fixed it fast and even delivered my motor back to me at no extra cost ? I mean who does that these days ?
Fist class service a device I would use again and recommend anyone to use
Fantastic price.....brilliant service...picked up and returned car the same day......recommend them as the top garage in the area....cheers guys.
Got a full service and MOT at a good price. No problems at all.
Brilliant service and a top bloke. Did exactly what was asked and even changed the Cam belt tensioner as is was noisey (no extra charge). Found some other issues and showed me the faults which I was given a quote for and have accepted. The price was higher than quoted because of additional work at my request. The bonnet release cable snapped on me so I couldn't change the headlight bulbs which got sorted. My car is going no where else EVER. The pick ip and delivery service they offer is a godsend. I will be recommending to all my friends, colleagues and family.
Excellent customer service with Steve Martin (owner/manager). I've owned Audi A3's for many years now and used a flexible long-life service with Main Dealer, but find them very expensive these days. Britannia Auto Centre provided same service and uses Original Equipment parts/dealership recommended lubricants etc. and I was highly impressed with their efficiency and with a courtesy car provided too. Would not hesitate to use for future services/MOT's. K.Walton. 28.04.2016.
Bang on!! Price quoted was the price I paid. They inspected my front discs and pads and said they were fine, no need to replace. Hire car was spot on and a nice little touch giving it to me free of charge for being a first time customer although the £10 charge it would have been, is a good price. Would thoroughly recommend.
An excellent service ... great communications, everything explained simply, flexible and a superb courtesy car. Couldn't recommend them enough!
Steve got back to me with a quote extremely quickly and happily answered any queries I had regarding the price. for example the original quote was £160 which I thought was extremely cheap, I asked a question whether everything was included in the price but the discs were not. this meant the price increased slightly but it was still by the cheapest price by far at £225. I was most impressed when I was offered a brand new courtesy car while mine was having work done, which is a real bonus! all in all the job ended up costing £358 upon the discovery that a calliper needed replacing also, I was more than happy to pay the extra on top of the quote as I was told in good time that it was needed. I found the guys very helpful and easy to deal with and the discovery of an Easter egg and mug after picking my car up made it that bit sweeter..... nice touch!
Steve and the team at Britannia made an excellent job of my car service and MOT. Steve gave friendly and professional advice on my car and as a result it now drives like new. Cannot thank them enough. Great job at a great price. I will be back.
got a fast response to my enquiry, fitted me In at a time that I requested, work carried out efficiently. staff were nice and polite. well recommended. price for my work came in cheaper than quote. thank you
Just Car Clinic Durham have been brilliant. They answered all my queries, picked up the car, serviced it and brought it back to me while being very polite and professional throughout the process. Very affordable price as well.
Very easy to use. Relaxed but professional. Great communication and good job done.
If I could rate it any more stars I would. Excellent service jason an the girls were ever so helpful from start to finish.
Can honesly say that this was the best and cheapest service I have ever recieved there even intruduced me to the mechanic who showed me around the work they carried out which puts your mined to rest cause there is a lot of company's out there that say they've done the work but never do You would be bad to use anyone else
Brilliant service from this company, can't fault them. Collected my car from my home and offered to bring it back again. Price I paid was the same I was quoted. Great local company that I'd use again in a heartbeat.
Excellent service, pick up and drop off included in price, 4 new tyres which was £100 cheaper than kwik fit for the same type of tyre, would definitely use in the future, thank you
Excellent service, i would definitely recommend to anyone. Very competitive with their pricing. I'll definitely be using again.
Dropped the car off at 9:30 and had it back by 16:00 the same day. No issues with the car since it came out, great value for money. Would definitely use this garage again.
Quick turnaround as promised, nice bunch of helpful staff, who were happy to help other customers while I waited! Highly rated!
good service will use them again
Diagnosed the problem really quickly. It needed new ignition. Part ordered and fitted. Also had a full service. Excellent service like driving a brand new car. Will definitely use again.
Great fast service

Following a stroke a person may need to alter his or her home to better fit their needs. Strokes can have lasting effects on people, including leaving them partially paralyzed, with impaired vision and with trouble speaking, which can make certain tasks around the house difficult and possibly even unsafe.
According to the National Stroke Association some home alterations that occupational therapists might recommend include:
- Making changes to your home to accommodate a wheel chair, if needed.
- Move furniture to make it easier to get around with a wheel chair, cane or walker, if needed.
- Adjust the lighting so it's well lit to avoid potential falls.
- Move electrical cords out of walking paths so you don't trip.
- Remove loose carpets and runners, or apply non-skid tape to increase traction.
- If in a wheel chair, invest in carpet that's easy for the chair to move over.
- Get safety bars to place in the bathtub and shower to assist with getting in and out.
- Put non-slip strips in the bathtub and shower.
- Put handrails on both sides of the stairs for stability.
- Install a taller toilet to assist with getting up and down.
- Install a safety bar near the toilet.

Reviews for this host's other properties
We had a great stay in this apartment although when we arrived I was a bit disappointed that the living room was full of bedsheets being air dried but the lady was quick enough to change removed it. The place is okay. Will go back to this place.
We enjoyed our stay at Miss Fung's apartment. It is spacious (for Hong Kong) and well placed near markets and transport. As we were out and about most of the time we didn't use the kitchen much. There was stacks of hot water for the four of us and there seemed to be a continuous supply - I had been worried from a previous review about lack of hot water.
The only disappointment was a slight hiccup in getting into the apartment when we arrived as we could not get Jimmy on the mobile number given, but Miss Fung kept in touch through Wimdu and the housekeeper ( who was lovely) let us in. Particularly appreciated the clear directions we received prior to arriving and being able to store suitcases until 3.00 pm.
Would use this apartment again.
Great location and the place was nice & clean. Not quite a big as we were expecting, but ok. Email/phone communication leading up to our stay was good, and we were met at the appt. The beds there sleep 8, plus there are a couple of mattresses for the floor which I guess would take it to 12 ppl. Wifi was free and worked well. Is right above MTR Yau Ma Tei station, plenty of shopping and eating places in the area. Good value for money compared to a hotel, and great if you want your stay to be a more authentic Hong Kong experience.
To be very objective, i shall start with the pros: its conveniently located above YMT MTR exit; its cheap compared to hotels(and t'was peak period in HK); easy to find food & convenience stores nearby.
Now, to share my experience of staying in the house. I can only say i wont ever stay again. Firstly when we arrive, the person who was suppose to meet us wasnt there and we had to wait about 20mins for another lady to open the door for us to enter the hse. Upon entering the house, it was still in a mess due to the earlier tenants checking out late, fine, so we put our luggage down and head out till it was clean up.
When we return later in the night, we found bedsheets, towels hanging in the room & living room..to add on to the extreme cold winter, all the windows were open supposedly to dry the bedsheets i guess. Thats fine still, the worse experience of living in the house was the shower - there were 2 bathroom - we literally had only 5-10mins to shower before the water turns cold in the super cold winter! and even thou there were 2 bathroom, we ended up taking turns 1by 1 to bath because the hot water does not support 2 person bathing at the same time because once the HOT water in the storage tank is use up, it times to heat up again. When i called Jimmy(miss fung assistant supposedly) to ask why we had to shower in cold water, his answer were most hongkongers shower ONLY 10MINS. DUH!
Also the house was super cold in the winter and when i ask for heater, he said he cant help and every night i had to slept in a super cold room.
Never coming back again.
We have stayed with Miss Fung's place (Yau Ma Tei) for 4 days & 3 nights. We are a group of 10 people and we fit in comfortably in the place considering Hong Kong is very well known for its small space. It is clean and well maintained, some basic kitchen utensils are available for families who preferred home cook meals. The apartment is also secured with a doors man on the ground floor and double lock on the main door.
Location wise the building is very ideal as Yau Ma Tei MTR station is just in front of the building, whether you wanted to go to Central area or Disneyland, the MTR can take you there without any hassle. Bus stops are also near and has an express bus (A21) to the Airport. Furthermore for those people who loves night market, the apartment it very accessible as it is just one MTR stop away .
We highly recommend this for groups or family traveling. We will definitely book again on our possible next trip.
Ms Fung was very patient and replies at once to my queries about the apartment. She gave a wrong apartment unit # but it was just a small issue since Jimmy, the contact person (and his aunt), were very accommodating and helpful. They answered my calls and replied also thru SMS.
The building in Yau Ma Tei where the apartment unit belongs to is an old one but my family appreciated the security. It is also a few steps away from YMT MTR exit and bus stop. It is also a few streets away from the Temple St Night Market and the Mongkok markets. There were lots of shops and restaurants when you go down.
The apartment was newly renovated and very clean when we arrived. But newly washed bed sheets and pillowcases were hung in the rooms for drying (It's an eyesore).The rooms are just right in size. We so loved the living room because it's very spacious and has good lighting :) The 2 bathrooms were small but both were ok with us since the heaters are working properly. Rolls of tissue were also provided. Ms Fung told us to bring our own towels but there were towels hung in the bathrooms. Aircon in all rooms were working and wifi was very fast. Kitchen things/utensils were available, you just have to buy cooking oil if you're planning to cook.
I highly recommend this apartment especially for families :) We were a group of 8 where 2 are kids and 3 are senior citizens. We were very comfortable and enjoyed our stay here.
i shall say one thing first, we booked a 3 room with 2 toilets but it turned up to be only 1 toilet!! this made us very upset, as some of us girls uses the toilet for quite sometime while preparing. when we told her we booked the apartment with 2 toilets and even showing her the email. she said no this is the one! :( anyways, i shall say the pros first, it is value for money. saved alot on accomodation by staying here. the host was friendly and very helpful. location was very convient come out of Yau ma tei mrt and it is just 10-20 steps away. there is a security guard at the lift lobby so it is very safe. bed sheets are clean, no bed bugs or anything crawly, they provide tooth brush and towel(however i suggest bringing your own) Now for the cons, One major bad thing was that we requested for toilet rolls,as there was only 1 left when we moved in we told her on the spot which she said there was somemore in the drawer before rushing off. so we searched the whole apartment, however there was none!! 1 toilet roll for 6 people for 5 days?! we called immediately later in the day when we moved in she said that she would get someone to drop the toilet roll at the living room, but none came infact when she said that we were worried would alot of people know the password to come into the apartment. so we locked all our room doors and took the key with us and bought our own tissue! most of the beds are as hard as wood, literally. i had back ache side ache because i wasn't use to the hardness. there is only 1 toilet so even though the apartment can fit till 12 people easily you only have 1 toilet so remember. we had 6 people staying there and we had to take turns. Tv has very few stations, when i sat on the cushion sofa i felt that my skin was ichy, same goes for the other girls. the middle room's aircon could not be adjusted according to my friend. the kitchen's sink tap felt like it was going to fall off. And basically the place could be tidier, there were things everywhere. broken lamp, plastic bags, left over things from previous people who stayed. the host only clears the bedsheet and mops the floor. overall, it could be better, but i will not come back to stay there sadly. sorry and thanks for the stay.
The apartment is in a convenient location next to a subway station, however, it needs better cleaniness, we have to do some cleaning in the bathroom before using, exhaust fans are nasty, beds are super hard, not able to sleep comfortably, a lot of personal belongings in the apartment, including shoes, felt like you are living in somebody's apartment.
Theapartment is well located next to Yau Ma Tei station and was well equiped for out short stay. The apartment was secure, clean and safe.
No wifi availability was a problem but other than that it was all OK. Miss Fung was an attentive host and did all she could to make our stay comfortable.
Our flight was delayed and we didn't get in till 3am. Miss Fung was very gracious in meeting with us in early hours. The apartment was large for HK standards. Premises was clean and very convenient to shopping, eating and transit. It's right next to the Yau MaTei MTR. If you have the windows open, it will be a little noisy as it is on the main road. I would stay there again.

Marshfield boasts energy efficiency with new solar array
MARSHFIELD – With the solar array up and running, the town of Marshfield has reached its goal to be as energy efficient as possible.
In the past few years, the town has taken steps to make the Old Schoolhouse Common a beacon of energy efficiency. The building houses the town clerk's office, zoning and planning, the Jaquith Public Library, the historical society and the Twin Valley Senior Center.
Chaimanr of the town's energy and climate change committee Rich Phillips said the improvements started by plugging up any leaks in the building where heat could escape. That work was able to reduce air leakage from the building by 80 percent and reduced the amount of heating oil the building used from 4,300 gallons to 2,500 gallons per year.
"The air leakage now is pretty close to what a new house would have been 10 years ago and its a 1920 building," he said.
After that, the building's insulation was replaced and more insulation was added to the outside of the building to keep energy from escaping from the concrete foundation, Phillips said. Those improvements reduced the fuel the building used by a couple hundred gallons more.
To save even more money and energy, the building's oil burning furnace was replaced by a wood pellet burning furnace, which Phillips said reduced the cost of heating the building an additional 30 to 40 percent.
The town also replaced all the lights in the building with light emitting diodes or LEDs.
But the final piece of the puzzle was the solar array that would feed electricity to the building. Three tracking solar panels were installed early this winter and Phillips said they have just gone online in the past two weeks.

This extra wide water broom quickly pressure-sweeps large driveways, poolsides, tennis courts, and other expanses that takes hours to clean using a standard pressure washer or garden hose. Seven threaded brass nozzles maintain strong, uniform spray at a constant height for even water distribution that washes away dirt across a 3-foot wide swath. Despite its strong cleaning ability, it uses only 1/10th the water of a standard garden hose. The swivel rubber casters make it easy to push, maneuver, and turn for strain-free one-handed operation. Unlike some water brooms made of steel that can easily rust on the inside, this durable unit is heavy-grade aluminum that will not rust, so there's never any chance of staining surfaces during washing. Connects to any regular garden hose (not included). Made in the U.S.A. 36" W x 52" L. (7 lbs.) Premium or Express delivery is not available for this item.

Health insurance penalty on businesses questioned
MONTPELIER Gov. Peter Shumlin wants small businesses to drop their company-wide health plans next year and send workers into a new online insurance marketplace.
So why is he proposing a new tax on companies that follow his lead?
Thats the question being asked by business leaders across the state as they begin to ponder dramatic changes on the health care horizon, and the impacts on their bottom lines.
The federally mandated health benefits exchange set to go into effect in 2014 will present small businesses here with an array of new insurance options. The Shumlin administration hopes the shifting insurance landscape will compel many companies to get out of the health care game altogether.
The rationale is twofold. Administration officials say federal assistance available to individuals in the exchange will provide coverage at rates far below what a business could ever hope to negotiate. And since the federal contribution to Vermonts future single-payer system will be based on the dollar value of the federal aid flowing into the state, the administration is keen on getting as many individuals as possible into the exchange.
But companies that do drop their coverage will be hit with a $476-per-year fine for each employee to whom they no longer provide insurance. And business leaders say it creates a disincentive to move in the direction being urged by Shumlin.
On one hand, they are now asking businesses with 50 or fewer employees to drop coverage for their employees to try to draw down federal tax credits, says Daniel Barlow, public policy director for Vermont Businesses for Social Responsibility. But then theres this penalty if you actually do it. It seems like kind of a disconnect.
The penalty would come in the form of a health care fund contribution, better known in Montpelier as the Catamount assessment. Created in 2006 as a means of funding health insurance subsidies for low- and middle-income Vermonters, the assessment extracts revenue from businesses that dont offer their employees health coverage.
The assessment is projected to generate about $11.2 million in the current fiscal year, rising to $11.8 million in fiscal year 2014.
Betsy Bishop, executive director of the Vermont Chamber of Commerce, says its confusing for the administration to impose a $500-per-employee fine on companies that do whats being asked of them.
It provides a disincentive in the system if the goal is getting more people into the exchange, Bishop says.
Administration Secretary Jeb Spaulding says the financial benefits to businesses that drop coverage will far exceed whatever charge is imposed as a result of the assessment. At businesses that do drop health coverage, the administration is suggesting they replace it with a cash stipend to cover employees costs in the exchange.
And theyre going to end up saving a lot of money, even paying the penalty, compared to what theyd pay if they maintain an employer-based insurance program, Spaulding says.
Catamount Health, the insurance subsidy funded by the assessment, will disappear when the exchange goes into effect next year. Rep. Paul Poirier, a Barre City independent, says the assessment should disappear with it. Hes introduced legislation to repeal the assessment; the legislation has been co-sponsored by a majority of the House Committee on Health Care.
If the program youre raising money for is going away, then you cant just continue the funding mechanism and use the money for something else, Poirier says. Im not against raising the revenue, but lets be up front about it and come up with a new revenue proposal and get support for it in the Legislature.
Robin Lunge, director of health care reform for the Shumlin administration, says the revenue will be used to pay for precisely the same service next year as it does today. The $11.8 million has been earmarked largely for assistance for low- and middle-income residents buying their insurance in the exchange.
We think our premium assistance cost-sharing proposal helps the same group of people, even a slightly broader group of people, that the employer assessment was designed to help, Lunge says.
Rep. Mike Fisher, a Lincoln Democrat and chairman of the House Committee on Health Care, says he has concerns about the continuation of the assessment. Fisher says savings in the exchange may outweigh the cost of the penalty, but the assessment is part of the calculation employees will be using, and its going to play into their decision making process.
Fisher says he believes Vermont needs the revenue being raised by the Catamount assessment.
But the question of whats the best way to raise those dollars, Fisher says, is something we need to look at.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of... Full StoryVermont fish hatchery changes focus, looks inland

Some Pittsburgh residents are being ticketed for parking in their own driveways.
An obscure city ordinance requires people to pay $225 for a permit if they wish to park within 30 feet of a street, according to The Associated Press.
The city's Bureau of Building Inspection City has been issuing the tickets and council members say they've been getting complaints.
The bureau doesn't issue tickets unless residents complain and, often, those complaints aren't prompted by people who park in driveways but by those who create cement or gravel pads in front of their homes.
But those pads are often too close to the street and are used to park larger commercial vehicles, which some residents consider eyesores.
Pittsburgh city counsel hopes a solution can be reached.

Oftentimes filmmakers and actors need to conjure up some ridiculous premise to get audiences to jump up out of their seats and scream. But true fans of horror can be assured no such gimmicks are used for "The Conjuring," director James Wan's unnerving, true-life horror tale starring Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga.
The film chronicles a previously untold case by famed real-life demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren, who for decades starting in the 1960s conducted thousands of paranormal investigations. The events told in "The Conjuring" -- set in 1971 -- predate one of their most noted encounters, which would later become known as "The Amityville Horror."
While films about hauntings and demonic possession are nothing new in cinema -- and the subject matter is particularly over-exploited on reality TV shows -- Wilson feels audiences will feel refreshed by the story of the Warrens in "The Conjuring" because the couple took an interest in the field when it wasn't exactly fashionable.
"The thing I kept going back to in this was the fact that the Warrens started doing this in the '60s -- a long, long time ago in terms of TV and the technology, where there were no shows about it and there was so little known about it," Wilson told me in a recent interview.
Plus, he added, their motives were much different from what you see with the so-called paranormal investigators nowadays, even though their most famous case was met with skepticism.
"In my opinion, which is a very strong one, they came about it from a very honest place of wanting to help people," Wilson said. "They were devout Catholics who really felt that there was this underbelly of evil and if they could help people, they were of service -- even when Amityville came out, which put them in the national spotlight. But like with anything, any success is going to bring a lot of backlash."
New in theaters nationwide on Friday, "The Conjuring" finds Ed and Lorraine Warren (Wilson and Farmiga) on the road, spending their time between college lectures discussing their findings and conducting investigations.
And while they've encountered their share of disturbing cases, there's something particularly unnerving about the experiences of Roger and Carolyn Perron (Ron Livingston and Lili Taylor), who along with their five daughters have encountered a dark and malevolent force in their newly-acquired Pennsylvania farmhouse.
Although Wilson has acted in a wide range of genres -- from musicals with "The Phantom of the Opera" and superhero with "Watchmen," to action adventure with "The A-Team" and drama with "Little Children" -- he's no doubt been drawn to the supernatural and horror in recent years with roles in TV's "A Gifted Man" and Wan's 2010 smash hit "Insidious."
And while Wilson will team with Wan once again for "Insidious: Chapter 2" later this year, he insists that the path he's taken with his career of late is more by happenstance than it is by design. The big key, Wilson said, was his first meeting with Wan, which opened the actor up to the idea of doing films in the genre.
"I felt like I avoided the horror genre a long time until 'Insidious' came to me," Wilson said. "But one meeting with James really got me hooked. The paranormal aspect of my career has really been by coincidence."
The best thing about working with Wan, Wilson noted, is that the director is as concerned as much about the story as he is about the things that go bump in the night to engage his audiences. And with a story of demonic possession at the core of "The Conjuring," Wilson is convinced moviegoers will get an experience that will stay with them long after the lights go up in the theater.
"It's a movie that's very character driven, yet there's an evil lurking under it. It's the flip side of the religious coin, for the lack of a better term and James isn't afraid to go there," Wilson said. "He really brought it to another level."
Star convinced by honesty of real-life subjects in 'The Conjuring'
Patrick Wilson plays famed demonologist in horror thriller

One Texas man thinks his dog can do a good job of eliminating some of the "cat fighting" in local politics.
The dog's name is Dylan Westie and his owner, Mark Howard, filed a petition on the Terrier's behalf to be on the mayoral ballot for the May 5th election in Irving, Texas. However, NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth reports that since Dylan is not a registered voter, he doesn't meet the requirements necessary to run for office.
Howard stated that he wasn't serious when he attempted to get Dylan on the ballot, but his disappointment of current city leaders led him to try to draw attention to the problems in local politics.
"If you look at all the cat fighting, what better way to solve a catfight than to get a dog in the mix," Howard told CBS News.

Expect the flu to last about five days, which is the time it takes your body to produce the antibodies that finally beat the infection. You will be protected from that strain of influenza for the rest of the season. Some people continue to feel ill and cough for more than two weeks. In some cases, the flu can make health conditions such as asthma or diabetes worse or lead to complications such as bacterial pneumonia. Adults older than 65 and people with chronic health conditions have the greatest risk for complications from the flu, the CDC says.
Antiviral medications are also recommended to treat the flu--amantadine, rimantadine, zanamivir and oseltamivir--but must be taken within the first two days of illness to be effective, the CDC says. They can reduce the length of time flu symptoms are present. These medications usually are used in hospitals, nursing homes and other institutions where people are at high risk for complications of the flu. Some side effects may result from taking these medications, such as nervousness, lightheadedness, or nausea. Individuals with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are cautioned about using zanamivir. Talk to your health care provider if you think you should take one of these medications. These medications are not meant as a substitute for vaccination.

Here's the guilty interview I read where this was first brought to my attention.
On a more serious note Strapped. theres definitely a little House Shoes jab in there. I know the story, which Im not going to divulge here (or anywhere, if you know, you know, if you dont, you probably dont need to know anyway), but did you know what you were getting into with that?
Well, what happened was like I told you at first, Shoes was the person that initially called me and told me that Dilla wanted to work so, even to this day, Im definitely, definitely grateful for that. When we did Strapped, he had the beat, and I went through there and I laid the verse.
via Your Taste In Music Sucks
Can someone shed light on what they're talking about?
2. Can we get some clear and serious answers about what the beef is/was between Dudley Perkins/Declaime and Stones Throw?
On a related note Declaime has a song on MMS #11 (LMD - Real Talk) where they talk about label and music bullshit. this track makes me wonder if ST and Dudley have squashed their beef or if Dudley is talking about ST on the record?
PS: is LMD a knew group consisting of LMNO, Medaphoar, & Declaime?
sound off on your thoughts for these issues presented.

A teenager celebrated his birthday for the first time late last year after spending the first 18 years of his life not knowing when he was born.
19-year-old Noah Boyce of Michigan was sent out on his own after his family was evicted from their home because his father refused to pay property taxes, reports MLive.com. The eviction left Noah to fend for himself without a birth certificate, a Social Security number and no formal education of any kind. His father had repudiated his citizenship in 1996 and believes government should follow God's law.
A Good Samaritan from the church took Noah in and he and others helped Noah establish the documents he needed to prove who he was and find out his actual birthday, which is Dec. 10, 1993.

A woman in Georgia blamed a supernatural culprit for the theft of her pricey resume.
Debbie Michelle Zamacona, 40, told police a ghost stole her curriculum vitae, which she valued at an eyebrow-raising $5,000.
A paper documenting her criminal history and a black and blue blouse were also missing, according to the police report filed by the Barrow County Sheriff's Department.
When asked if she knew who the suspect might be, Zamacona said it was one of two apparitions, the Augusta Chronicle reported.
She had a bit more trouble figuring out the value of the items taken, telling police she "wasn't good at math" when she rattled off the $5,000 estimated value of her resume.
Officers did note there was no obvious point of entry.

Marion P. Gilman
Marion P. Gilman
CHELSEA Marion Parker Gilman, 84, a longtime resident of Chelsea, died peacefully Saturday, May 4, 2013, at her home on Barre Corner, after a long illness.
Marion was born in East Brookfield on October 14, 1928, the third child of Willis Edward and Glenna (Kennett) Parker. Her ancestors were among the early settlers of this region. She lived on the family farm and attended the local district school until she left home in the fall of 1942 to attend Chelsea High School. She and her older sister, Lottie, boarded with local families. Marion graduated in 1946. After graduation, she was hired by Anna Grant to work as an operator in the Chelsea telephone office until it closed in 1953. She took a one-year leave from this job to move to Barre and work at the new JJ Newburys, at the jewelry and luncheon counters. In 1949, she worked as a waitress in Florence Laffleys restaurant and part time as a telephone operator. She would work at the restaurant again in later years when owned by Norma Anderson and then Steve Watson. On November 8, 1949, Marion was married to W.S. Sid Gilman of Chelsea in Tunbridge, Vt. For three years, they lived in the apartment above the Chelsea Co-op, then in September 1952 purchased the home on Barre Corner where they would make their lifetime home.
In 1985, she began baking for Wills Store in Chelsea, Vt. During this time, she won numerous blue ribbons for her baking at the Tunbridge Worlds Fair and the Vermont Farm Show. She continued baking for Wills Store for 10 years, then cutting back to just making her sour milk doughnuts, finally retiring in 2003. In 1993, she was featured in Yankee Magazines article on Blue Ribbon Bakers, extolling her award-winning doughnuts. From 1996 to 2002, Marion made ice cream for Wills Store.
Marion was a member of the Chelsea Service Guild for more than 60 years. For the service guild, she was the chairman of the Chelsea Flea Market from its beginning in 1972 to 1992. For many years, she helped to organize the local church suppers, including the annual Chicken Pie Supper, Hunters Roast Beef Supper, Orange County Sugarmakers Dinner and many more. She was very active in the United Church of Chelsea, serving on the executive board for many years. She was a member of the VFW Auxiliary Post for more than 60 years. She was a member of the Branch Club since 1949.
Besides cooking, dancing and high school basketball, Marion loved to travel. She went on numerous bus trips and cruises. She traveled to Florida, the Virgin Islands, the Bahamas, the Panama Canal, Alaska, Hawaii, Nova Scotia, England, Atlantic City, Branson, Holland, Michigan, Kansas City, Las Vegas and many more. She loved gardening, especially her flower gardens. She also loved to host gatherings at her and Sids camp, The Tamarack Lodge, which they bought in 1960 and slowly rebuilt.
Marion was predeceased by her husband, W.S. Sid Gilman; four sisters, Lottie Chubbuck, Irene Parker, Doris Bjorkman and Ruth Brown; three brothers, Clinton, Clayton and Paul Parker; and a granddaughter, Christine Robbins.
She is survived by her companion, Harold Luce; four children and their spouses, Marie and Tom Robbins of Randolph, Vt., Wilma and Norm Smith of Hinesburg, Vt., Will Gilman of Chelsea and Richard and Theresa Gilman of Chelsea; a brother, Edward Parker of Hartford, Vt.; five sisters, Evelyn Greene of Meredith, N.H., Jean Flint of Albany, Vt., Phyllis Boles of South Royalton, Vt., Joyce Potwin of Wickenburg, Ariz., Nancy Potwin of Hartland, Vt,; eight grandchildren, two great-grandchildren and twins on the way; and many nieces and nephews.
Calling hours will be held on Thursday, May 9, 2013, from 7 p.m to 9 p.m. at Boardway & Cilley Funeral Home, 300 Vt. Route 110, Chelsea, Vt. A funeral service will be held on Friday, May 10, 2013, at 2 p.m. at the United Church of Chelsea in Chelsea, Vt., with a burial service following in the Riverside Cemetery in Chelsea, Vt.

A Florida mother is accused of hanging up on a phone call with police about her missing daughter because she had to go on stage at a strip club.
Bobbey Jo Boucher, 29, left her 10-year-old daughter at a barbecue Wednesday afternoon before going to work. When the girl did not return home, her grandmother called police, Tampa TV station WTSP reported.
When police called Boucher to tell her that her daughter was missing, she told officers "I have to get on stage" and hung up, according to a police report obtained by The Smoking Gun.
The girl was eventually found unharmed at 9 p.m. Wednesday.
Boucher was arrested about an hour later and has been charged with misdemeanor obstruction.

Women's boxing was an Olympic event for the first time ever during the 2012 Summer Games.
Competition is under way in London. One of the American women on Team USA has been eliminated. The other two fight on Monday night.
Boxing has been a sport in the modern Olympics since 1904. It has taken more than 100 years to include women.
Flyweight boxer Marlen Esparza said this is her time. The 22-year-old has modeled for CoverGirl out of the ring, but don't let the flawless face fool you.
"A lot of girls who want to be pretty and wear makeup and do their hair, you can look feminine and still be in a contact sport and do well," Esparza said.
"There's not one male in this world who's ever seen me box and said I fight like a girl," said Team USA's Claressa Shields.
Shields is only 17 years old. The middleweight fighter said she's ready to wow the world.
"It feels great, because I feel I'm the greatest female boxer out there," she said. "If they see me boxing, they're going to see the best of women's boxing."
The veteran of the group is lightweight 28-year-old Queen Underwood.
"It feels good. It's well-deserved, a lot of sacrifice and dedication," she said.
Her nickname is the Queen of the Ring.
"I picked it up after high school and I fell in love with it and continued with it after high school," Underwood said.
The boxers said the men on the team are supporting them, but they know there are plenty of doubters out there.
"I think a lot of guys and society, period, is trying to figure out right now. After these games, it will be set in stone and we'll be on our way," Esparza said.
Underwood lost to a British fighter on Sunday. Esparza and Shields fight on Monday. If they win, they move on to the semis on Wednesday.
Eight of the nine American male boxers in London have been eliminated. The only one still competing, Errol Spence, fights on Tuesday.

A doctor removed a one-pound package of methamphetamine from a woman's pelvis after she was arrested by federal authorities at the U.S.-Mexico border in Arizona.
Claudia Ibarra, 31, was taken into custody at the Port of San Luis after U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers determined she was possibly hiding drugs in her pelvic area, Phoenix TV station KPHO reported.
She was taken to a medical facility, where the drugs were found and removed.
In a separate incident, 27-year-old Ismael Beltran was arrested by customs agents after a drug-sniffing dog detected 11 packages of cocaine beneath the lip of his vehicle's windshield.
Beltran's vehicle was seized, according to KPHO.
The drugs from both incidents had a combined value of about $243,000.
Ibarra and Beltran were turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations.

The title of world's biggest rabbit once again belongs to a 55-pound hare named Ralph.
The 4-year-old bunny from the UK had held the record until just last year, when a rabbit by the name of Darius beat him out, the Sussex Express reported.
But Ralph managed to claw his way back on a $90-a-week diet that includes cabbage, broccoli, corn on the cob, half a cucumber, a carrot, sweetcorn, two slices of brown bread, two apples, half a bag of watercress and crackers, according to The Daily Mail.
Owner Pauline Grant cares for the Continental Giant at her horse rescue facility in East Sussex, relying on donations each month to feed her behemoth bunny.
"We have got a big place here and he can go anywhere he wants," she told The Daily Mail. "He has a fantastic life and is not just kept in a hut. His diet is incredible."
Ralph's giant genes appear to run in the family.
His mother, Amy, held the record for biggest rabbit until she died of a heart attack four years ago, and his dad, Roberto, is also a former record holder, according to MSN.

A British woman recovering from a scooter accident awoke to discover she's four months pregnant.
Gemma Holmes, 26, collided with a parked car while riding her scooter in Hilperton, England, last September. The impact tossed her body across a busy street and into a lamp post, according to The Huffington Post.
In a coma with severe head injuries and a broken back, doctors didn't think she'd make it.
But Holmes woke up three months after the crash to find she was not only alive, but four months pregnant, the Wiltshire Times reported.
Suffering from amnesia, Holmes couldn't remember what had happened in the last three years, including the identity of her baby's father or how they met.
She decided to keep the baby, and gave birth to a boy named Rueben on May 2.
Holmes and the baby's father have reunited, but are not together romantically, according to The Daily Mail.

GOP hits Shumlin for single-payer funding delay
MONTPELIER House and Senate Republicans have accused Gov. Peter Shumlin of violating state law by failing to tell Vermonters how he plans to pay for single-payer health care.
Legislation that the Democratic governor signed in 2009 included a provision calling for the recommendation of a single-payer financing mechanism by Jan. 15 of this year. Administration officials say the mandate was rendered unnecessary by a shifting federal landscape that postponed for at least three years any hope of implementing the publicly financed system.
Senate Minority Leader Joe Benning, however, said Vermonters are looking for answers, not excuses.
Businesses need to have the information necessary to make important decisions for themselves and their employees, Benning, a Caledonia County Republican, said during a Statehouse news conference Thursday. We need to have a clear understanding of what the game plan is, and at present we dont have that game plan.
Administration Secretary Jeb Spaulding dismissed the criticism as a stunt. The administration last week unveiled a highly anticipated report on single-payer; Spaulding said the administration had explained to lawmakers in advance that it would not include any specific recommendations for financing. He said reasonable people agree that it makes no sense to design a financing system now for a program that wont begin until 2017.
These are people who want to undermine the effort to move to a single-payer system and are looking for any opportunity they can get to confuse people and erode support, Spaulding said. Issuing a specific plan at this stage of the game would not in any way help Vermonters understand what a new system would look like or what the options are to pay for it.
Jeff Wennberg, executive director of Vermonters for Health Care Freedom, said Vermonters cant begin to understand what the new system would mean for them until the administration discloses what tax it would use to finance the program.
The report issued last week put a $1.6 billion price tag on the portion of the single-payer plan that would need to be publicly financed. Wennberg, whose organizations mission is to end the push for single-payer, said residents and businesses cant evaluate the plan until they know how much of that bill theyre on the hook for.
There is no analysis of the impacts on anyone, Wennberg said. Theres nothing remotely resembling a proposal or set of proposals, or what taxes would be necessary or needed to raise this money.
While the lack of a financing plan is of chief concern to Wennberg, he said it isnt the only area where the administration has fallen short. The single-payer law passed in 2009 also called for recommendations on how to deal with issues of coverage for nonresidents living in Vermont, or for residents living out of state.
It also directed the administration to study issues around recruitment and retention of the health care workforce. In all, Wennberg said, the administration failed to deliver on at least 15 statutory directives.
Of particular concern, he said, was the administrations failure to comply with the portion of the law that required it to determine the potential impact of various financing sources on Vermont businesses and on the states economy and economic climate.
The administration had as recently as last summer looked poised to deliver that analysis. When the administration in July inked a $300,000 contract with the University of Massachusetts Medical School, the deal called for not only developing a financing plan but performing an analysis of the interaction of new provisions with Vermonts current revenue structure, including income, property and sales tax, and recommend(ing) possible complementary reforms to the overall tax code.
The administrations director of health care reform, Robin Lunge, said at the time that the contract with the university would provide a deep dive that would dig into the pros and cons of financing options.
We need an analysis of the macroeconomic impacts, so we know that if we change financing in one way, we have a sense of how that flows out into the states economy, Lunge said in July.
Asked why the report failed to include items stipulated in a contract signed six months ago, Spaulding said that it didnt seem like the right time to examine deeply the cause-and-effect of various financing schemes, be it taxes on payroll, income, sales or anything else.
It wouldnt have been helpful now for Vermonters to issue a specific financing plan, he said.
Asked whether the contract had been amended since it was signed in July, Spaulding said it had. He said he was unsure whether the revisions included eliminating the requirement to analyze the macroeconomic impacts of various single-payer funding streams.
In the face of Democrats near super-majority in Montpelier, the Republicans can take no legislative action over the lack of a funding plan. Wennbergs group, however, has filed a broad public records request seeking all communication and correspondence between the state and the University of Massachusetts.

Brunner AG
Brunner Druck und Medien AG, Lucerne, Switzerland, is making the transition from print services provider to cross-media marketing services provider.
