As in, football questions. Brandon Marshall is willing to talk to the media these days, but there have to be ground rules.
Football questions only. No questions about that other stuff, the stuff that landed him a two-game suspension from NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.
That's a good thing. It shows Marshall is focused on football. It's the strongest indication yet that he has put the emotional impact of his suspension behind him.
He will miss the Broncos' first two games, but you get every impression that Marshall will be ready to roll when Game 3 rolls around.
He caught 10 balls in the Broncos' first two games in 2007. Taking the first two games out of the equation this year, there's no way he'll match last year's production, when he caught 102 balls.
Maybe, maybe not.
Marshall is an extremely confident kid. How confident? He was overheard at training camp the other day saying he still believes he can make the Pro Bowl. And it says here he's right.

Mongol General: Hao! Dai ye! We won again! This is good, but what is best in life?
Mongol: The open steppe, fleet horse, falcons at your wrists, and the wind in your hair.
Mongol General: Wrong! Conan! What is best in life?
Conan: To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women.
Mongol General: That is good! That is good.
— from Conan the Barbarian (1982)
"Hither came Conan, the Cimmerian; black-haired, sullen-eyed, sword in hand, a thief, a reaver, a slayer, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, to tread the jeweled thrones of the Earth under his sandaled feet."
— The Nemedian Chronicles, as quoted in The Phoenix on the Sword, the very first Conan story by Robert E. Howard.

There's no question that for many children, being abused increases their risk of anxiety, depression, academic and behavioral problems, and other mental health issues. But a researcher at Purdue University (in Indiana) just found an unexpected link between child abuse and cancer.

Could Child Abuse Cause Cancer?
There's no question that for many children, being abused increases their risk of anxiety, depression, academic and behavioral problems, and other mental health issues. But a researcher at Purdue University (in Indiana) just found an unexpected link between child abuse and cancer.

My Husband Treats Our Son and Daughter Differently
My husband loves to wrestle with our twins, but he treats them so differently when they play rough. He's very gentle with our daughter and much more physical with our son. I guess I'm wondering about two things: Is there any reason to be more gentle with girls than boys, and is there any chance that a lot of wrestling could make our son violent?
With all the talk about youth violence these days, parents are constantly on the lookout for anything that might be responsible for the problem. One common theory is the one you raise, that physical play and roughhousing-which is something dads spend a lot of time doing-teaches kids to be violent. The evidence, however, supports the exact opposite conclusion:

A Single Dad's Guide to His Daughter's Puberty
I'm a single dad and my daughter is 11. I know I'm going to have some kind of discussion with her about puberty, but I don't have a clue where to begin. I also don't know what and how much I should say to my daughter about her body and about sexual feelings she is going to start to experience. Help!
Congratulations! You're about to deal with something that most dads spend a lot of time worrying about. Luckily, though, it really isn't all that bad.
Whether you're a custodial dad or you share custody, it's reasonably safe to assume that your ex will be having some discussions about puberty and menstruation with your daughter. But sometimes things don't work out exactly the way you planned. Even if they do, it's a good idea for you to prepare yourself to deal with these issues anyway. Women's bodies have always been something of a mystery to most men and it's perfectly normal to be confused, embarrassed, or even somewhat put off by your daughter's physical changes.

Helping Your Kids Cope with Your Divorce

Sometimes, despite all your efforts, your children will need more help than you're capable of providing. This doesn't mean that you're a bad parent, just that you know your limitations. Here's what you should be looking for:

Exercise this, Dad…
I've always been something of a jock and I've tried to instill a love of exercise in my daughters. The two oldest (21 and 18) were/are wonderfully athletic, but had absolutely no interest in sports. When they were tiny babies I'd put them in the Baby Bjorn and hop on the Nordic Track for an hour. Later, I took them running in the jog stroller. Signed them up for summer sports camps, regular team sports, individual sports (like karate and rock climbing) and on and on. But nothing stuck.
My youngest, almost 9, has the makings of a jock. But she hates to sweat. All that changed, though, when I set up the xbox kinect that I won at Dad2.0 a few weeks ago. I had a meeting the other day and told Z she could use the xbox. I heard her bouncing for the entire time I was in the meeting. When I finally finished up and went up stairs to start dinner, she was drenched in sweat–and smiling. I had to smile too.
Made me completely revise my thinking about what my goals are, sports wise. Doesn't really matter whether she's doing a real "sport." If the goal is to get her off her duff and to work up a good sweat, who cares what she's doing? Lesson learned.
There's More to Being a Dad Than Pulling out Your Wallet
Dear Mr. Dad: I have a 13-year old daughter. I was never married to her mother. But recently the mom got married to someone else, had another child, and moved away, taking my daughter with her. Do I still have to pay child support even though she's married and has full custody of my daughter?
A: There are a number of factors at play here. However, what surprises me most about your question is that you seem to be focusing on the finances rather than on the fact that your daughter is now living in another state and you don't get to see her. Doesn't that bother you? Most guys would be investigating whether the mother has violated a court order by moving the girl away without an agreement between the parents, or figuring out how to see their child more often. That said, you do raise some interesting financial questions.
But before we go on, it's important that you hire a lawyer. This situation is quite complicated and you need someone in your corner who has a lot of expertise in custody matters. An experienced attorney will be able to tell you about the child support rules in your state.
Some states count a new spouse's income when calculating support. Others don't. Either way, in most states, there's an inverse relationship between the amount of time the child is with the non-custodial parent and how much support is paid. Child support is supposed to be for the child's benefit and is designed to help the custodial parent cover increased child-related expenses. Time your daughter spends with you would reduce her mother's expenses because yours would be increased. Makes sense, right? Simply put, the less time you daughter is with you, the more you'll owe. So if she's with her mom 100 percent of the time, you'll most likely be ordered to pay the max amount.
The big question is, Why don't you want to pay? If you're having financial troubles—and you certainly wouldn't be alone in this—your attorney should be able to get your support order reduced, at least temporarily. If you're concerned that the mother is pocketing your support checks or spending them on non-child-related things, again, your lawyer may be able to get the support order modified so that you can put the money into a college savings account or other savings vehicle for your daughter.
If you're using financial leverage to punish or get back at your ex for something she did to you, stop right now. Whether you're legally required to pay support or not, I think you have a moral obligation. Does it really matter where your daughter lives or whether her mother now has enough money to pay for everything she needs? She's your daughter and you should be doing everything you can to support her. If that means sending money, so be it. The one who gets hurt the most by your ducking your responsibility is your daughter, not her mother.

- Today's selloff is following the pattern of most in the past few weeks, with the small caps (IWM -1.9%) and tech (QQQ -1.5%) leading the way. Pacing declines in the Nasdaq are a 8.8% dive in Amazon post-earnings and a 4.6% fall in Facebook. Setting tongues wagging in FB - but hardly a huge deal - is the sale of another 283K shares by Sheryl Sandberg, bringing her holdings down to 8.7M shares.
- The liquidation in biotech has previously been a convenient excuse for small cap selloffs, but the IBB is off just 1.4% today, outperforming the Russell 2000.
- What's working? Utilities again. The XLU +0.8% today and +13% this year, outperforming the Russell 2000 by about 1.6K basis points.
- Small cap ETFs: IWM, TZA, TNA, UWM, VB, IJR, SLY, RWJ, URTY, SCHA, TWM, RWM, SRTY, SAA, DWAS, VTWO, SDD, VIOO, JKJ, RSCO, SBB, FYX, XSLV, EWRS, TWOK, SMLV, PXSC

Apr. 7, 2014, 11:58 AM
- Tech's hanging in there thanks to nice moves in Intel, Cisco, and IBM, but the Russell 2000 (IWM -1.6%) is the outlier to the downside again. Today's dip can't be blamed on the biotechs though - the IBB is up 0.3% for the session.
- What's working? Defensive names like P&G (after a dividend boost), Coca-Cola, and Colgate-Palmolive are helping the Consumer Staples SPDR (XLP +0.3%). Also in the green are the utilities (XLU +0.9%).
- Small-cap ETFs: IWM, TZA, TNA, UWM, VB, IJR, SLY, RWJ, URTY, SCHA, TWM, RWM, SRTY, SAA, DWAS, VTWO, VIOO, SDD, SBB, JKJ, RSCO, FYX, XSLV, EWRS, TWOK, SMLV, PXSC

- The selloff accelerates, with the Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) and Russell 2000 (IWM) each now lower by 2.3%. Little-changed earlier, selling comes to the S&P 500 (SPY -0.7%) and DJIA (DIA -0.4%).
- What's working? Emerging markets for one. Another area of green is the utility sector (XLU +0.9%). Healthcare (XLV -0.8%) would usually get a bid on these days, but it's being dragged down by the continuing liquidation of the biotechs. There are also some pockets of green in basic materials (XLB -0.7%).

- The U.S. could suffer a nationwide blackout if just nine of the country's 55,000 electric-transmission substations were knocked out on a particularly hot day, the WSJ reports, citing a study from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
- The U.S. could suffer darkness "for weeks, if not months," the WSJ writes.
- Utilities aren't required to protect vital substations unless they're located at nuclear facilities, although regulators are considering increasing security standards.
- Meanwhile, nearly all utilities that took part in a drill last year to assess their ability to cope with online and physical attacks admitted they weren't prepared enough, a report from the North American Electric Reliability Corp shows. Over 2,000 participants from the U.S., Canada and Mexico were involved in the exercise.

- The WSJ profiles how the U.S. electricity grid is vulnerable to attacks on its transformers, which are the "glue" that holds the network together.
- Few companies make transformers in the U.S., and the equipment can take over a year to produce and months to ship.
- An assault on enough of the country's biggest 2,000 transformers could cause extended blackouts. Last year, a gun attack on 17 large PG&E Corp transformers took a California substation off line.
- "With a couple dollar bullets, you can take out a transformer worth millions of dollars," said Steve Newman, vice president of Delta Star, a supplier of the products.

- The Select SPDR Utilities ETF (XLU +0.4%) has already had a nice run this year - up 9% from an early January low - but technician Michael Kahn sees more gains ahead, noting it popped out of an 8-month trading range last week and money is flowing in (based on a gauge measuring volume on up days vs. down days) for the first time in nearly a year.
- Stocks such as Public Service Enterprise (PEG +0.5%) and CMS Energy (CMS -0.1%) are mirroring the ETF's chart, but Kahn sees better opportunities in names closer to 52-week lows. Of note in this category are PG&E (PCG +0.9%) - just out of a trading range and above its 200-day moving average for the first time since the summer - and Southern Co. (SO +0.1%). After moving sideways for six months, Southern has rallied to the top of its range and is pausing at its 200-day moving average. Any continued strength would break both the trading range and the 200-day.

- "The Safety Bubble Deflates," goes the title of a new report from Bernstein's Seth Masters, adding his name to those voices suggesting "safe" assets have become otherwise.
- Even though utilities, telecom, and consumer staples have underperformed of late, says Masters, their relative valuations are still well above the average over the last 50 years. "In periods of stress, investors tend to prize stability and safety too much. But in time, investors discover that every investment carries with it some degree of risk: if not risk of loss, then risk of inadequate growth."

- Barron's Jack Hough says the "low beta" approach is a flawed one: First, volatility can change quickly as companies' or industries' fortunes shift; Second, beta tells one nothing about whether a stock's valuation is high or low. In a similar warning over low volatility stocks, BAML suggests looking for companies with smooth earnings rather than smooth stock prices. Screening for such, Hough finds CSX Corp (CSX -0.6%), DuPont (DD +0.6%), Cisco (CSCO -0.6%), and Halliburton (HAL -0.8%).

It's a testament to your superior talent that you start by having a human and ten wildly different creatures together including a water-dwelling one...then manage to put them together looking quite natural in their peaceful poses. All the various fur coats, horns, claws, etc. look exactly like part of their bodies and not just 'glued on'.

Standard Interpretations - Table of Contents
| Standard Number:
|1910.269; 1910.147
August 4, 2011
Mr. Ronald Gall
Department of the Army
Corps of Engineers, Omaha District
Fort Randall Project
P.O. Box 199
Pickstown, SD 57367-0199
Dear Mr. Gall:
Thank you for your August 23, 2010, letter to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA's) Directorate of Enforcement Programs (DEP). You ask questions about your Hazardous Energy Control Program. This letter constitutes OSHA's interpretation only of the requirements discussed and may not be applicable to any question not delineated within your original correspondence, as well as telephone and email communications with you. Those communications clarified the questions raised in your correspondence. We apologize for the delay in responding to your inquiry. Your paraphrased scenarios, questions, and our replies follow:
Scenario: The Corps of Engineering has an existing Hazardous Energy Control Program in place and is contemplating revisions of that program. You state that the present program complies with the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.147 (and 29 CFR 1910.269) for utilizing procedures to affix appropriate lockout devices or tags to prevent unexpected energization, start up, or release of stored energy. You state that, for example, a hydroelectric generator has 30 to 40 different isolation points-isolation point being a source or potential source of energy.
Question 1: Do OSHA standards 29 CFR 1910.147 or 29 CFR 1910.269 permit adding individual isolation points to a clearance (pre-established and written) procedure once that clearance (procedure) has been established and work has begun under the clearance?
Response: No. Deviation from a pre-established and documented energy control procedure during service and maintenance operations would be a violation of OSHA's Control of Hazardous Energy (lockout/tagout) standard. The requirement for an employer to establish energy control procedures before any employee performs any servicing or maintenance is contained in paragraph (c)(1) of 29 CFR 1910.147, which states:
Energy control program. The employer shall establish a program consisting of energy control procedures, employee training and periodic inspections to ensure that before any employee performs any servicing or maintenance on a machine or equipment where the unexpected energizing, startup or release of stored energy could occur and cause injury, the machine or equipment shall be isolated from the energy source and rendered inoperative.
An identical requirement exists at paragraph (d)(2)(i) of 29 CFR 1910.269, the standard covering work on electric power generation, transmission, and distribution installations.
Further, please be aware that where other standards in 29 CFR Part 1910 require the use of lockout or tagout, they shall be used and supplemented by the procedural and training requirements of 29 CFR 1910.147 (see 29 CFR 1910.147(a)(3)(ii)).
Question 2: You asked whether OSHA standards 29 CFR 1910.147 or 29 CFR 1910.269 would permit breaking out an individual isolation point from a clearance (pre-established and written) procedure and releasing it from the procedure once that clearance (procedure) has been established (set) and work has begun under the clearance.
Response: No. As explained in the response to Question 1, it is not permissible to deviate from a pre-established and documented energy control procedure during service and maintenance operations.
Thank you for your interest in occupational safety and health. We hope you find this information helpful. OSHA requirements are set by statute, standards, and regulations. Our interpretation letters explain the requirements, and how they apply to particular circumstances, but they cannot create additional employer obligations. This letter constitutes OSHA's interpretation of the requirements discussed. Note that our enforcement guidance may be affected by changes to OSHA rules. In addition, from time to time we update our guidance in response to new information. To keep apprised of such developments, you can consult OSHA's website at http://www.osha.gov. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact the Office of General Industry Enforcement at (202) 693-1850.

Despite its name and gothic-scripted insignia, the Village Idiot is not another ye olde English pub, but one of the Meatpacking District's urban saloons, with scattered wagon wheels and the all-too-familiar tableau of drunkenly shed bras to prove it. The Idiot ranks up there with Hogs & Heifers and Doc Holliday's as a prime outpost of Manhattan cowboy kitsch. Weekdays find local boozehounds washing down breakfast with $1.75 cans of Pabst Blue Ribbon; weeknights draw a sociable crowd of down-to-earth dudes, with the occasional Hell's Angel hogging the pool table in the back. Come Friday night, the Idiot erupts into a riot of raucous college students and young professionals, all jockeying to out-drink the shot-happy bartenders. The jukebox blares an indiscriminate mix of country hits and misses, and, as in every Mitchell institution, you can never tell which Dolly Parton or George Strait tune will inspire some scantily clad cowgirl to boot, scoot and boogie atop the rickety wooden bar. Cue the clamorous yee-haws from the peanut gallery: everyone looks cute doing an impromptu do-si-do after a couple of $5 pitchers.
Picnics with a view, roller-skating nostalgia, and a party for gay headbangers.

File 2: ALJ's Decision
[ v57 p685 ]
Office of Administrative Law Judges
Charging Party
Case No. WA-CA-00547
Kathleen Oddo, Esquire
For the Respondent
Tracy Levine, Esquire
Thomas Bianco, Esquire
For the General Counsel
Before: ELI NASH
Chief Administrative Law Judge
Statement of the Case
The General Counsel of the Federal Labor Relations Authority (the Authority), by Regional Director, Washington Region, issued a complaint alleging that the Respondent violated § 7116(a)(1) and (8) of the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute (the Statute) by refusing to comply with an arbitrator's award. The award requires the Respondent to provide premium pay for overtime work for certain Title 38 employees.
The Respondent contends that the award may not be enforced in an unfair labor practice (ULP) proceeding because the Authority lacks jurisdiction over the subject matter of the award. Specifically, the Respondent asserts that the Under Secretary for Health has determined that the award concerns "employee compensation" within the meaning of 38 U.S.C. § 7422(b), which precludes bargaining over or grievance procedures covering "employee compensation." Therefore, according to the Respondent, the award cannot be enforced in this ULP proceeding because the matter is excluded from the Authority's jurisdiction.
Subsequent to the filing of the complaint and answer, Counsel for the General Counsel moved for summary judgment. Counsel for the Respondent filed a response to the motion and moved to dismiss.
Treating the Respondent's request to dismiss with supporting exhibits as a cross-motion for summary judgment, and considering all the pleadings and exhibits, it appears that there are no genuine issues of material fact and that the Respondent is entitled to summary judgment as a matter of law. Accordingly, I make the following findings of fact, conclusions of law, and recommendation.
Findings of Fact
The Union, American Federation of Government Employees, Local 446, is the exclusive representative of a unit of employees appropriate for collective bargaining at the Respondent, Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Asheville, North Carolina (VAMC Asheville). The Union and the Respondent are parties to a collective bargaining agreement (CBA) covering unit employees at VAMC Asheville.
On December 29, 1999, an arbitrator issued an award finding that the Respondent violated the CBA. The award required the Respondent to provide premium pay to certain of its registered nurses. On February 2, 2000, the Respondent filed exceptions and moved to dismiss the award, arguing that the arbitrator lacked jurisdiction over the subject matter of the award. Specifically, the Respondent asserted that an award regarding nurse compensation is contrary to 38 U.S.C. § 7422(b), which precludes bargaining over or grievance procedures covering, among other things, "the establishment, determination or adjustment of employee compensation under this title."
On April 20, 2000, the Authority dismissed the Respondent's exceptions as untimely filed. In addition, the Authority denied the Respondent's motion to dismiss, finding that the Respondent was raising issues that could have been, but were not, raised before the arbitrator.
Notwithstanding the Authority's dismissal and denial, the Respondent failed to perform the acts required by the award. On September 28, 2000, the General Counsel issued a complaint on the basis of the Respondent's failure to comply with the award.
By letter dated March 5, 2001, the Respondent's Under Secretary for Health, acting pursuant to 38 U.S.C. § 7422(d), [n1] determined that the arbitrator's decision and the subsequent ULP concern the "establishment, determination, or adjustment of employee compensation." Therefore, the Under Secretary concluded that "the issues raised in this matter are outside the scope of collective bargaining under sections 7421(a) and 7422(d) of [T]itle 38." Respondent's [ v57 p686 ] Exhibit A, March 5, 2001 Letter from the Under Secretary for Health, at 2. [n2]
Discussion, Conclusions, and Recommendation
In this case, the General Counsel alleges that the Respondent has committed a ULP by failing to comply with an arbitrator's award that has become final and binding. The Respondent denies that it has committed a ULP because the subject matter of the award is within the exclusive discretion of the Secretary of Veterans Affairs.
Failure to Comply with an Arbitration Award
Under § 7122(b) of the Statute, an agency must take the action required by an arbitrator's award when that award becomes "final and binding." 5 U.S.C. § 7122(b). The award becomes "final and binding" when there are no timely exceptions filed to the award under § 7122(a) of the Statute or when timely exceptions are denied by the Authority. U.S. Dep't of Transp., FAA, Northwest Mountain Region, Renton, Wash., 55 FLRA 293, 296 (1999) (FAA); U.S. Dep't of the Air Force, Carswell Air Force Base, Tex., 38 FLRA 99, 104 (1990). An agency that fails to comply with a final and binding award violates § 7116(a)(1) and (8) of the Statute. FAA, 55 FLRA at 296.
As a general rule, an agency cannot collaterally attack an arbitration award during the processing of a ULP complaint alleging an unlawful failure to comply with that award. U.S. Dep't of Veterans Affairs Med. Ctr., Allen Park, Mich., 49 FLRA 405, 426 (1994). However, the Authority has held that claims of statutory impediments to an arbitrator's authority could be raised to defeat finality in a ULP proceeding. Veterans Admin. Central Office, Washington, D.C., 27 FLRA 835, 838-40 (1987), affirmed sub nom. AFGE v. FLRA, 850 F.2d 782 (D.C. Cir. 1988).
Admitting that the arbitrator's award is final and binding, the Respondent nevertheless argues that 38 U.S.C. § 7422 precludes the Authority from enforcing the award. In light of the above-cited precedent, I will an

And I wish it will be even better if the wallpaper can support animations like those you see on high-end smartphones including my Galaxy S2. You know, like windmills but the background can interact with the current clock time (Day & night system) as well as weather, I wonder if there's such a software or plugin for that, which of course, Win 7 can do that when XP just don't.
Okay, this is rather awesome. I'mma gonna wait for the full version though.

Does Portland have any shopping areas with upscale boutiques and cute shops?
Yes! You'll probably enjoy the Nob Hill area – specifically Northwest 23rd Avenue – it's a mile or so of cute shops and upscale boutiques.
In downtown Portland, I'd recommend the Pioneer Place Mall. Adjacent to downtown is the Pearl District, which is famous for its upscale boutiques.

I have a 1994 Coleman Sequoia with the swing-up jack. Im a bit confused as my understanding is that the 66041 has a spring bar that is longer by 2 inches. I would think it would need to be shorter to stay out of the way of the jack as it rotates to the horizontal position. Based on my measurements the jack will have 1-2 inches of overlap with the bracket on the end of the spring bar. Can you please provide some insight? While were at it. I was wondering if you could tell me whether there is any way I might use this with a dual hitch so that I can put a bike carrier on. Im towing with a 1996 Honda Odyssey so I need to raise the ball about 1.5 inches. My max TW with the Odyssey is 350lbs. Ive been looking at the single bar as well as the Reese 350 Mini. My understanding is that the 350 has integrated sway control while this model requires the purchase of an additional friction sway control. I am somewhat concerned about obstructions blocking the arms on the 350 Mini the side jack and brackets for the chains sticking out about an inch right behind the ball receiver on the A frame. Im wondering if this model wouldnt be a better choice for avoiding these. My last concern is the bar bottoming out. Right now I have about 12 of clearance with the trailer attached. If I intend to use this in the mountains will I have problems? Thank you.
asked by: Lenny
Expert Reply:
There are not any dual receivers that you can use a bike rack in conjunction with the weight distribution system. Your best bet would be to consider alternative modes of transporting bikes while pulling the camper. Perhaps a roof mounted rack on the Odyssey or a Swagman Pop-Up Mighty Rack, part # S80550 that will allow you to carry bikes on top of the camper.
The Reese SC system, # RP66151, is very versatile and should work just fine with your trailer.

Sydney Roosters coach Brian Smith unhappy over amount of wrestling in the ruck in Panthers match
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- March 12, 2012
ROOSTERS coach Brian Smith inflamed the NRL's wrestling debate last night when he launched an outburst following his team's 18-0 loss to the Panthers.
In the wake of Canberra coach David Furner's attack on Melbourne's "chin strap" tackle last week, Smith said he'd never had as many complaints from his players for go-slow tactics in the ruck.Smith also accused star Panther Michael Jennings of feigning injury in a crucial play that led up to his 57th-minute runaway try.
The veteran coach was asked near the end of his press conference if there was anything more we could learn after two rounds and he didn't hold back.
"I'm going to say today is the first time I can remember for a very, very long time where I've had no conversation with a group of players but individual players coming and really venting their spleen about the amount of wrestling there was in the game today," Smith said. "They just felt that it was over the top.
"We got a penalty just a couple of minutes before half-time and by my count there were 11 opportunities the referee could have penalised."Now, I'm not counting ours, there might have been 12 of them where we were wrestling more than we should have been to slow the ruck down.
"But by my count I'm just sitting there counting one, two, three, four, five and sometimes I got to six and seven for the play the ball.
"Again, it is no excuse, that's up to us to adapt our game to how the refs are handling that."
Reminded of Furner's comments about Melbourne's wrestling tactics, Smith was cautious not to get his message mixed up.
"I'm not talking about foul play," he said. "Please, allow me to not get that wrong. I'm not saying that doesn't happen from time to time but I think that bit's for someone else and another time and another place.
"Just for today that's all I can say to you, honestly, I couldn't tell you in years that I've had (this reaction). I've had four guys, four experienced guys, come to me and say they felt that was over the top.
"You get tackled around the ankles and they just wouldn't let go, and you shake and shake and shake and they still wouldn't let go and there was no penalty."
Smith moved on to the Jennings injury that led up to his second try.
"Michael Jennings was injured, or appeared to be injured, and we were trying to play the ball from a handover," he said.
"We could have all played on but the ref stopped the game.
"Within 10, 15, 20 seconds he ... ran 50m to score a try. I'm going to suggest to you that he wasn't all that injured."

Last night I visited the Dupont Circle neighbourhood, as I've been assured it's one of the best in the city. The red line goes there and there's a stop near HI Washington where I'm staying so it's easy to get to.
Before checking out some of the bars I went for a bite to eat. Most of the restaurants can be found along Connecticut Ave which runs off from the circle. While most of the restaurants along the avenue are pretty expensive, Dalchinni is just about affordable. It's an Indian restaurant with friendly staff. The girl waiting on me recommended I check out two bars…
The first of these was 18th St Lounge at the intersection of 18th St and Connecticut Avenue. It's an uber-chic bar, and one that attracts a slightly older crowd. It's funky though, and is decorated just like a living room. It was dead though. As was Public Bar right next door. But I could tell that Public Bar really goes off on weekends. Carmel, the bartender (who I told had the same name as my mother), told me it was extremely busy last weekend due to one of the Washington DC Redskins having his birthday party there. She also told me he was wearing shades indoors most of the time. We agreed that just because you're famous doesn't mean you have to be like an idiot and wear shades indoors.
Now, today it's time for some more culture at the museums.

The definition of giant, swinging, I-don't-give-a-sh*t-what-you-think balls: spending millions of dollars to sponsor College Bowl Games when you're receiving handouts from the government. Anyone reading this should be pissed beyond belief that our dollars are being spent in order to make sure announcers can't call it the Rose Bowl, but "The Rose Bowl Game Presented By Citi."
There's also the Capital One Bowl. Or the GMAC Bowl. The Pioneer Las Vegas Bowl brought to you by Bank of America. The EagleBank Bowl. And who could forget the Roady's Humanitarian Bowl sponsored by U.S. Bancorp. All sponsorships cost millions, and all from companies who screwed up so badly they had to take millions and billions out of taxpayers' pockets.
Sufficiently furious yet?
One congressman is.
Rep. Scott Garrett (R., N.J.), a critic of Treasury's Troubled Asset Relief Program, said the government shouldn't micromanage companies. Still, he questioned why banks — which reportedly aren't using federal funds to lend to consumers as intended — need to sponsor nationally televised sporting events.
"The irony is these guys aren't lending to people, so what are they advertising for?" Mr. Garrett said.
For their part, the banks say that these are pre-existing commitments, and that they're not using the bailout money to pay for the sponsorships. To that, I ask, if you've got the money to name a stupid bowl that no one's going to watch after you, why are you asking for my money?

The Fixer: Snow-packed sidewalk on Leaside Bridge a problem for pedestrians
The sidewalk on the west side was impassable after it was heaped full of snow by road plows.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
It looks like somebody forgot to clear the snow from the sidewalk on the west side of the Leaside Bridge.
People who like old-fashioned winter have to be happy with the weather of the past week. After last winter, it's easy to forget the GTA is in Canada, where January is supposed to be cold and snowy.
City plows have done a good job of clearing the roads since the big dump on Boxing Day and the snowfalls since, while small peanut pushers continue to scrape away at sidewalks.
But they were late to take a run at the sidewalk on the west side of the long, wide Leaside Bridge, which runs for a kilometre across the top of the Don Valley, on Millwood Rd.
A reader named Troy told us via SeeClickFix that he walked across the bridge on Wednesday night — a week after the Dec. 26 storm — and found one side totally clogged and the other not much better.
"The snow (from the road) has been deposited directly into the bike lanes and the sidewalk," said Troy, noting, "some of the sidewalk on the east side was clear, but for the most part, it was very difficult to navigate safely.
"Pedestrians should not have to deal with (road) snow being plowed into their path. Toronto surely has ways to clear bridges that does not involve simply dumping snow from car lanes directly into the path of other users."
We went there Thursday and found the west sidewalk was impassable for pedestrians, due to deep snow that had turned into ice boulders.
The east sidewalk had been cleared of the worst of it, but was greasy from snow earlier in the day and looked like it hadn't been salted lately.
As for the bike lanes, it's hard to see where else the snow could go. There's only so much space for it on a bridge.
STATUS: Roads supervisor Ross Carnovale emailed us photos before 10 a.m. Friday of freshly cleared sidewalks on both sides of the bridge. Staff will be asked "to be more careful when they are plowing the roadway to not plow snow onto the sidewalk. We are also planning to remove the snow from this bridge due to the fact that there is a lack of storage space."

A few days ago my stables got an anonymous phone call from a group of Chicago ladies who have a vacation home in northern Indiana. They said in the message that they go by our stables everyday, and they said they see big round things of hay (round bales) behind the fences, but they only see the horses with little piles of hay. They said that if we do not start feeding our animals right they will call animal control on us.
First off, there's tons of snow in the paddocks and it's sand not grass, so we can only feed them hay. Our tractor hasn't been working b/c it's a million years old, so instead of trying to push in the round bales by hand, we've just been giving each paddock of horses 2-3 bales of hay in the morning and 2-3 bales at night depending on how many horses are in each paddock and weather they're horses or ponies. We spread out the hay into piles. This way each horse gets a chance to eat. We even do this with the round bales. If one of the horses can't squeeze in next to the feeder, we'll pull off a section and put it out further so they get something to eat.
It shocked me that anyone would actually call about it because all of our horses are fat. Besides a few of the older horses, which are probably at a more healthy weight, most costumers that come to our barn ask me all the time if one of our horses is pregnant. (Especially our pony Max. I'm like "No, he's a BOY. He's just big-boned and pleasantly plump." )
So we finally got our tractor working and we pushed in the round bales. A few weeks later, they ate the round bales all up, so we started to feed them square bales again until the manager could come out and push in more round bales. Not one day later, and we get a call from animal control. :roll: I hope these city girls know who they're messin' with because we're good friends with the animal control people. Lol

The Greek culture begins Western Civilization
Lyric Meaning
Greek civilization begins with the Minoans, and becomes the first beacon of light in otherwise Dark Europe. Today, we trace back "Western Civilization" to the Greeks, who were followed by the Romans. But prior to the development of Greek culture, Black Africans had already developed many of the hallmarks of advanced civilization.

"Established pros, hidden gems and a couple of young guns from the comedy circuit flaunt their comedy wares in front of what is always a packed, friendly audience.

Info provided by the Event Organiser
Please note that the artists appearing may be subject to change.
Pat Cahill
Winner of the amused Moose New Act of the Year 2011.
'Combining off-beat jokes with songs about dying pets and choice fatigue, Cahill's unpretentiously surreal and absurd outlook has seen him win numerous awards and secured him firmly in the one to watch category' (PBJ)
'This quirky performer has true star quality and bags of originality, mixing physical humour, gimmicks, wordplay and comedy songs. Imagine a cross between Sean Lock and Eddie Izzard and you might be getting somewhere, but nowhere close' (Bruce Dessau, Evening Standard)
'... Wonderfully weird' (The Guardian).
Pat Cahill tour dates
Sofie Hagen
Laughing Horse New Act Of The Year winner.
'Warm, accessible but in no way bland, Hagen delighted the crowd with personal tales and observations. Her skill becomes all the more apparent when looking at her silences as well as her writing, her timing is spot-on and pauses, facial expressions and knowing nods and smiles all combine to make an act who is destined to make a name for herself' (http://www.chortle.co.uk)
'Hagen is hilarious' (The Skinny)
'Hagen's act sharply pokes fun at British words and phrases and she's not afraid switch to bleaker, more contentious subject matter' (http://TimeOut.co.uk).
Sofie Hagen tour dates
Darren Walsh
Combining sound effects, one-liners and silly drawings, Darren Walsh's silly happy-go-lucky style has been compared to Harry Hill, with an act that combines surreal nonsense and snippets of daft songs.
Dave's Joke of the Fringe winner 2015
'The most pun you can have with your clothes on' (The Daily Mirror)
'One to watch' (Time Out)
'Multi Joke Of The Fringe award winner: A real crowd pleaser' (Chortle)
'He is a genial presence, not manic like Tim Vine, not wonderfully nerdy like Gary
Delaney and not deadpan like Jimmy Carr, but very much his own mirthmaker' (The Scotsman)

Respond to Review of Amaranta
by Mitch Cohen
Review: The owner was very friendly, and very willing to help English-speakers find the [limited] vegan options. Good soup, salad & entree. Limited dinner nights. Thurs-Sat?

I am going to do a little self indulgent whining if y'all don't mind. Earlier this year I was running 5k's and trained for a 10k that I ran in April. My goal really was to be in shape before getting pregnant as much as possible. My plan was to continue at least walking and strength training about 3 x per week. I started out OK but the past few weeks all I want to do is lie around and nap! I have zero energy for anything. I bought 2 prenatal work out DVD's thinking that would motivate me but I haven't even taken the shrinkwrap off of them. I have to get my butt in gear or I am going to gain 80 lbs with the way I am eating. I'm hungry all.the.time!! Ugggh. Gonna really try to get back on track this weekend. I know I'm going to have to buy bigger clothes I just want it to be for the right reason!!
OK whiney rant over. Anyone else with me?
