  1. Water ..hydration.. breaks are mandated in FIFA matches when the Wet Bulb Globe temperature exceeds 32*C. (89.6*F) The breaks occur at the 30th and 75th minutes of the match. This was approved by the FIFA executive committee and came into play at the 2014 WC in Brazil. Just wait until 2020 and Qatar. Water breaks on turf pitches are even more important (MLS) as the temp on the field will be approx. 20*F hotter than at chest level. At the High school level we'll take a break at roughly the 20 minute mark of the 40 minute half. 80*F is our break temperature. This is discussed with the coaches and I have never heard one say NO to a water break. The safety of the players is the number one concern for all officials at all levels of play.

  8. I was at the home opener against Seattle in 2008 also and when the news of Brady's injury spread around the Ralph the reaction of the Bills fans was pure happiness.
  9. Stromboli takes a lot of time and it is so good. Those attendees at the graduation parties should be thankful.

  11. RIP njsue. She was a lot of fun at the tailgates.
  12. Windstar cruise sounds great. You will be spoiled. Our next cruise will be a 14 day tour of the British Isles, Iceland and Scandinavia. No that the kids are on their own, cruises seem to be our favorite vacation spot.
  13. Having fun went away with the decrease of playing neighborhood pick up games. As a generalization it seems that neighborhood pick up games are ancient history and 'structured' sports have become the norm.
  14. Myrtle Beach. I had the 'rights' bad. Not a slice, but not finishing , the ball just went right. Sea Trails course. The driving range was to the right and of course I plunked one over there. Much to my amazement and my buddy, I found the ball and since I was still ticked off I gave it a "Happy Gilmore" whack and knocked a 200 shot to about 4 inches from the cup. My buddy is still shaking his head about that one. The next day we played a course that had houses adjoining several fairways. One house had TWO nets to protect it from wayward shots. The netting was TALL. My same buddy said, "There's no way, you'll hit that house" I not only cleared the net and hit the well guarded house but the ball bounced off that house and hit the neighbors too. Fortunately, no broken glass. Been close to a hole in one on 2 occasions.

  19. As the father of a WVU alum I agree 100%. Grier to Sills was a great combination at WVU. Maybe today the Bills will grab Sills OR Jennings
  20. To answer Meads question. Yes, bowling fan here. Spent many hours at Frontier Lanes in Lewiston. Also enjoyed watching Strikes, Spares and Misses ,and Beat the Champ on Channel 4 WBEN. Saturday afternoon meant ABC's telecast of PBA bowling with Nelson Burton Jr and Chris Schenkel. The definition of smooth was watching Earl Anthony on the lanes.
  21. In college I had a lab partner who did not know she was color-blind. Until we did a titration where the initial solution was green and the endpoint occurred when it turned blue. While she was titrating, I was in another lab area and came back to a full beaker of blue solution that she thought was still green.
  22. I was able to see Roberto 3X and Stargell 2X. Still have a hat from the 1979 team with a Stargell Star.
  23. National League. .Pirates American League.. Indians
  24. vegetable beef soup. Harkins to childhood when parents would get a soup bone from Loblaws and cook it all day with a variety of vegetables, esp.. barley. The dog would have a feast on the bone after it was extracted from the soup. Good times.
  25. I proudly wear my Bills stuff on a regular basis here in SWV. When Mrs. Lew and I go on a cruise we always wear Bills apparel. Great conversation starter
