A few sprinkled throughout the game would have been fine but I think I got carried away (ESPECIALLY after the victory) and probably shouldn't have brought the children into it.
I think the frustration of losing to our bitter rival for 5 straight games truly brought out the worst in me.
Will they see this?
Probably not, but I feel a little better.
Props to dfosterf for bringing classy back.
On a different note. dfosterf is a good dude and I am happy to have him here.

Cockerill stays unbeaten as City manager
6:30am Thursday 29th April 2010 in Hampshire Sport
SATURDAY'S draw ensured Winchester City finished the campaign unbeaten under new manager Glenn Cockerill.
It could have been a win for City but New Milton keeper keeper Dan Loader saved the day for his side with a second-half penalty stop from Adam George.
The goal-less stalemate made it seven games without defeat for City following the arrival of ex-Saints midfielder Cockerill at the start of April.
Cockerill said: "After a slow start it took us 15 minutes to get into it, but credit to New Milton who came into the game full of confidence after their two victories in midweek.
"It was good to keep the unbeaten run going, but overall I was disappointed because we had enough chances to win the game"
Cockerill is to open the Winchester City doors to trialists - see this week's Hampshire Chronicle.

Beloved Children's Author Maurice Sendak Passes Away
Generations have loved and shared "Where The Wild Things Are" with their own children. The author of the beloved children's book, Maurice Sendak, passed away this morning from complications brought on by a recent stroke. He was 83.
Sendak upended a tradition in children's books. Where most of the heroes and heroines of children's books were well-behaved models for children to emulate, Maurice's characters were dark, mischievous, and experienced situations that raised many eyebrows. Some of his books were censored and even banned from school libraries.
Despite this, he was awarded the Caldecott Medal in 1964 by the American Library Association for "Where The Wild Things Are", an award considered to be the Pulitzer Prize of children's books.
His other works include "The Sign On Rosie's Door" (1960); "Higglety Pigglety Pop!" (1967); "In The Night Kitchen" (1970); "Outside Over There" (1981); and "The Nutshell Library" (1962), a boxed set of four tiny stories including "Alligators All Around," "Chicken Soup With Rice," "One Was Johnny" and "Pierre."

Minister's Moment: To Be Made Whole
To Be Made Whole
Mark 1:40-45
When I lived in upstate New York, there was a local amateur theatre group that staged Jesus Christ, Superstar every year during Lent. The production attracted people of all ages to the casting call, and the producer/director tried to include as many as he could (good way to build an audience).
One young girl who tried out was a member of the middle school chorus I directed. She was cast, but only in the "y'all come" scenes. During the rehearsal period she came to me very excited because she had been given a larger role. She was going to be a leper. Knowing what we do about leprosy, this might seem strange to us, but you have to understand young people and the theatre. She had made it to the big time. She had arrived.

Fiat Officially Releases the Abarth 500 in the US
Is this the first credible competitors to the MINI Cooper S? We won't know until we get behind the wheel of the US specific Abarth, but we can take a quick look some of the more important stats.
- 160 hp / 170 lb.-ft
- Upgraded suspension with (FSD) Koni front-shock absorbers and a .6 lower ride height
- 10% quicker steering rack
- Larger single position brakes with 11.1-inch rotors
- Abarth-tuned ESC system
- Optional 18.9 lbs 17″ wheels
- Heavy-duty five-speed manual transmission
- no weight given
Promising no? Yet it's hard for us to forget our less than stellar experience in the 500 Sport earlier this year. Here's a quick excerpt to remind you:
The Fiat 500 Sport does not compare favorably to the MINI Cooper in ways an enthusiast would appreciate. The steering is light and the clutch lighter. The manual transmission is vague at best and any propulsion out of the highly acclaimed 101 hp Multi-air Fiat 1.4L four cylinder feels like a happy coincidence. Within a half block behind the wheel of the 500 I was in 'leisure' mode whether I liked it or not.
We panned it's performance in almost every aspect (as compared to the standard Cooper) but praised the cost (and the cost of ownership) considering it's style and substance. Now that there's a Cooper S fighter on Fiat lots, it will be fascinating to see how it stacks up. Especially given the impressive spec sheet. Let's just hope (for Fiat's sake) it's a dramatically better car for enthusiasts.
For a refresher, check out our Fiat 500 Sport review.

So, I was listening to the Baseball Today Podcast from yesterday (4/30/07). They were answering a question about "what is it that tires out a relief pitcher" and hit on some interesting things. They mention a study that says that most relievers can't go over 100 innings per season, "year in, year out"; sure. Then, they talked about how most teams have twelve man staffs, and each guy can't go out there for three or more innings each game and expect not expect them to break down over time. However, because most relievers are only being used for an inning, third or two-thirds an inning, it makes a lot more sense to use a list of guys to lighten the load. They also mentioned several teams (Leo did it and probably still does) keep track of all pitches thrown; his includes bullpen and warm up sessions.
I don't know where I'm going with this. Maybe that using as many relievers as the O's have been using isn't such a bad thing as most of those guys need to build their arm strengths up anyway. Perhaps pitching two-thirds of an inning helps out bullpen...I mean, unless your Scott Williamson; I'm still sad that he's out. Sad, sad, sad.

The purpose of this article was to describe an online approach to providing chronic illness self-management information to rural women with chronic illness. To self-manage chronic illness, individuals require information about their conditions. For those in rural areas who have limited access to health services, computer-based interventions are a means of providing this information. Participants were randomly assigned either to an 11-week computer intervention in which they completed nine online self-study health teaching units related to self-management, or to a control group. The health teaching units were positively rated as being helpful in managing their chronic illnesses, with scores ranging from 4.09 to 4.84 on a six-point scale. Perceptions of computer skills increased significantly for the intervention group, with no increase in the control group. Computer-based programs can be an effective approach to providing health information to rural women with chronic conditions that will assist them in their self-management efforts.

EUSTACE–The Eustace City Council continued discussion of a new parade ordinance designed to promote public safety at an Aug. 7 meeting.
The council tabled the ordinance until next month to incorporate new ideas. Mayor Elicia Sanders and Chief of Police Ken Holder are collaborating on a draft of the ordinance.
The proposed rule prohibits the throwing of any items, including gum, beads, paper or any other article from floats, vehicles or people on horseback. No one will be allowed to enter or exit floats, vehicles or other moving objects once the parade begins. It further defines a parade as any procession of people, animals or vehicles on public streets or alleys.
Any person or organization planning a parade must apply for a permit at Eustace City Hall and await approval or denial by the mayor or the mayor's representative.
In other action, the council:
• learned from the mayor that repairs to the City Hall roof are faulty, and that Sun Roofing had not returned phone calls about honoring the warranty. Sanders said the city would no longer do business with Sun Roofing.
• approved city employee life insurance through Kansas City Life, and vision and dental coverage with United Healthcare. Last month, the council approved medical services insurance with Blue Cross Blue Shield.
• set 7 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 20 for a presentation about a 2012 Texas Community Development Block planning grant of $32,565 for local city improvements to include maps, streets, zoning recommendations, parks and utilities. Public Management out of Cleveland will make the presentation.
• tabled consideration of the 2014-2015 fiscal year budget until next month.

EUSTACE-If it's not hard, it's not worth doing.
This is the attitude Eustace senior cross country runner Preston Schwartz comes with to practice every morning. And morning comes early for Eustace cross country runners.
Schwartz, along with the rest of the varsity team, arrive ready to train at 6:25 a.m. When many people are still counting sheep with the sandman, Schwartz has already kicked his routine into full gear. This is one of the numerous reasons the Bulldogs have been so successful. Schwartz doesn't just understand the price of hard work and dedication; he embraces it.
"I love the constant dedication it requires to be good at cross country," Schwartz said. "Other sports rely more on physical ability or talent, but cross country is all about the heart. Success in this sport mostly depends on how much the person wants it."
And Schwartz wants it. The Bulldogs have tasted success, earning a place on the podium in the State Championship meet the past two years. He shows his dedication to his sport and fellow runners by coming to practice twice a day, putting in the extra work to gain and maintain top form and keeping a strict sleep and diet schedule.
"If you're not sleeping enough, then you won't run well," he said. "It's one of those little things that helps build the big things."
He can easily run 10 miles a day between the two regular practices– four miles in the morning and 6 after school.
Every Monday the team issues what it calls a "distance challenge," where the length of the run is amped up to 7-9 miles to push the runner's limits.
Schwartz's plans following high school graduation are to attend Texas A&M University, run a marathon and possibly join ROTC.
Schwartz is an Aggie at heart.
"Texas A&M is basically the one and only school I want to attend," he said. "If I don't get in, then I'll go to an affiliate college."
His reason for liking A&M are the same as his dedication to running.
"I really like tradition and hard work, I think they do that well," he said. "I'm also thinking about joining ROTC, and they have a rich tradition of cadets there."

Special to The Monitor
TEXAS–Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility (CSBF)in Palestine representative Kathleen Smith spoke to the National Active and Retired Employees (NARFE) Aug. 12, at the Sirloin Stockade in Corsicana.
The CSBF provides launch, tracking and control, airspace coordination, telemetry and command systems, and recovery services for large (400 foot in diameter) unmanned, high-altitude (120,000 fett) research balloons.
Their customers include National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) centers, universities, and scientific groups from all over the world. Balloon research provides a low cost alternative to rocket and space shuttle launches and provides flexibility as to launch locations.
CSBF has about 70 employees and conducts 20-25 balloon launches a year from permanent facilities in Palestine, New Mexico, Antarctica and Australia.
Other launches have been made from Sweden, Argentina, Greenland, Brazil, Canada, India, New Zealand and Sicily.
In more than 40 years of operation more than 2,200 balloon launches have been made for 124 universities and technical institutes. Payloads weigh up to 8,000 pounds.
CSBF was established in Boulder, Colo., in 1961, by the National Science Foundation (NSF)and moved to Palestine in 1963.
In 1982, sponsorship was transferred from the NSF to NASA.
In 1987, NASA's contract to operate the facility was transferred to the Physical Science Laboratory of New Mexico State University.
The contract is administered by the Goddard Space Flight Center's Wallops Flight Facility Balloon Program Office.
NARFE Chapter 1191 covers Ellis, Navarro and the adjacent parts of the surrounding counties.

At least that makes sense. The question, obviously, is what did he do to deserve to be out of the lineup, expecially behind, say, Hlavac? Especially against Philly...while I understand it can get rough out there, Hlavac, while not totally adverse to initiating contact, is scared to death of being hit out there. Further, I don't remember him ever playing a good game against Philly (when the Czechmates were a line, they didn't score a point against Philly (or PITT, and in only one game against the Devils)). So to me, it seemed like an opportunity to see if the kid was ready for the NHL, because most indications thus far pointed to the fact that he was ready for an NHL role. Granted it looked at times as though he wasn't stable on his skates, but that didn't seem to affect his performance.
If that mystery could be solved, Fletch, I think we'd be in the playoffs. I'm not saying Moore would have been the season savior, but surely he warranted a longer look. I mean, it's not like he was sent down in favor of a highly productive hlavac. I barely know when the guy's on the ice.

I hope this blog will create discussion about the important issue of water use and availability around the world.
Your comments and views are very important and I encourage you to help me build and develop the conversation.

Often when I talk about water management, some people think this means water privatisation. But it is not as simple as that.
I'd like to discuss some of my ideas on this subject in a four-part post, summarising points I've made earlier on this blog along the way.
Water management, for me, means using water very carefully according to its value and great importance for individuals and society - making sure there is the highest possible societal outcome from the provision and use of this increasingly scarce resource.
Today's Financial Times (please note the Financial Times has a paywall) carries an excellent, in depth look by Pilita Clark at "A world without water", in which I make the case for world leaders to make water scarcity a bigger priority than climate change.
In the piece, which draws on a range of expert views, I argue that this problem is persisting because water is "so undervalued that it is typically used inefficiently – and there is not enough investment to boost supplies". Regular readers of this blog will recognise this as a consistent theme: the need to set a price for water in order for its essential value to be recognised.
The German word for food is 'Lebensmittel', i.e., a means to live, which reflects better than anything else its importance. But "one third of food produced for human consumption is lost or wasted globally." (FAO, the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation)
On the one hand, this has an economic impact: the global economic cost of food wastage, based on 2009 producer prices, is USD 750 billion, approximately the 2011 GDP of Turkey or Switzerland. (Source)
On the other hand, it adds significantly to water overuse: present wastage is the equivalent of more than 1,000 cubic kilometres of freshwater abstracted per year, i.e. close to 25% of total estimated global withdrawals for human use in 2005. (2030 Water Resources Group, Charting our water future, page 6) This is particularly important as water, and the rapidly growing gap between withdrawals and sustainable supply, will be by far the most critical chokepoint for global food supply security for the next 10-20 years.
In September 2014, the Swedish King will hand over the Stockholm Water Prize to John Briscoe "for his unparalleled contributions to global and local water management, inspired by an unwavering commitment to improving the lives of people on the ground."
For several reasons, I have the feeling that there are relatively few people who are working in the water space who do not know John. John has been making a considerable impact for quite some years in a number of countries around the world. Please do read his CV if you would like to know more.
Over the last few weeks I reported about water shortage from overuse in several parts of the world. The rising demand for water and continuing poor management practices are also causing water crises in China. Some time ago I wrote about one of the symptoms, namely disappearing rivers (source). The first official national river census of China estimated that the country had 22,909 rivers, each with a catchment area of at least 100 square km, at the end of 2011. This is less than half of the more than 50,000 rivers estimated by the Government in the 1990s. The official explanation for this shortfall is mainly the "inaccurate estimate of the past, as well as climate change, (and) water and soil loss". (source) This could explain why some of the rivers have disappeared, but the primary causes are likely to be declining groundwater and river flow levels, widespread deforestation and increasing withdrawal of water from water bodies. Quoting Peter Gleick from the Pacific Institute: "The water challenges in China are far greater than just climate change." (source)
Very recently I came across this post from Liping Jiang, senior irrigation engineer at the World Bank. It describes the situation, and also presents solutions. It was originally posted a couple of weeks ago on the Worldbank water blog. Thanks to Liping for his permission to repost.
