Navy tops Army 17-13, 11th straight win in seriesBy DAN GELSTON
The Associated Press | December 09,2012PHILADELPHIA Trent Steelman walked off the field, about ready to burst into tears.
Armys quarterback finished his career 0 for Navy.
Four starts, four losses.
So many around him felt his pain. Army officials hugged him. Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo wrapped his arm around Steelman and told him how proud he was to have him go out and protect this country.
He felt as empty as his number in the win column.
Tight games or blowouts, Navy has made a habit of beating Army. Keenan Reynolds helped Navy top Army for the 11th straight time, scoring the winning touchdown late in the fourth quarter in a 17-13 victory in the 113th rivalry game Saturday.
The Midshipmen can hook an anchor to the Commander-in-Chiefs Trophy and bring it to Annapolis.
Army (2-10) hasnt hoisted the CIC trophy since 1996.
I feel like we deserved that game in every way possible but it just didnt happen, Steelman said. We were wearing them down and there was nothing that was going to stop us. But thats life.
Navy (8-4) and won the CIC trophy awarded to the team with the best record in games among the three service academies. Army and Navy each beat Air Force, putting the prestigious trophy up for grabs in the regular-season finale for the first time since 2005.
Unlike previous games over the last decade, the Black Knights were in this one until their final 70-yard drive. Army had driven to the 14 when Steelman and fullback Larry Dixon fumbled on a sloppy exchange. Navy recovered and the Midshipmen on the sideline went wild and rushed the field.
Weve talked about Trents career a lot, Army coach Rich Ellerson said. This is unfortunate because this doesnt correlate with what hes accomplished here. He deserves to feel better on the last day.
In front of 69,607 fans and Vice President Joe Biden at Lincoln Financial Field, Navy caught a break when Army missed a late field goal attempt.
Reynolds quickly found Brandon Turner down the sideline for a 49-yard gain. Reynolds, named the games MVP, then escaped a rush and followed with the 8-yard touchdown run with 4:41 left in the game.
The CIC trophy was coming back to the Naval Academy for a record 13th time after a two-year stint at Air Force. Before Navy started its 11-game winning streak, the longest one in the series, started in 1890, was only five games for either team.
It means everything, Niumatalolo said. Thats our No. 1 goal, to get the Commander-in-Chiefs Trophy. Im just so happy for these guys.
The Midshipmen gathered at midfield and posed with the trophy while their classmates in the stands celebrated the win.
Niumatalolo sought out Steelman for some encouraging words.
They dont get any tougher than Trent Steelman, he said. I know everyone in our locker room has nothing but respect for that young man.
Late in the third, Armys James Kelly stripped the ball and linebacker Alex Meier recovered to give the Black Knights the ball at Navys 37. Eric Osteen kicked a 21-yard field goal 10 plays later for a 13-10 lead.
Osteen, however, was wide left on a 37-yard attempt with 6:57 left in the game.
Navy made them pay on Reynolds score. The Midshipmen now lead the series 57-49-7
Its hard to do, Niumatalolo said. Its hard to beat anybody in a rivalry game, but to do it that long just speaks volumes about the guys in the white jerseys.
Navy not only won 10 straight, but pretty much dominated the Black Knights, winning games in 2007 and 2008 by a combined 74-3 score.
Navys 27-21 win last season was the tightest margin since the winning streak started. Last year was just a start at nudging closer toward ending the winning streak.
After a scoreless first quarter, Army and Navy swapped rushing TDs in the second. Navy fullback Noah Copeland plowed straight up the middle for a 12-yard score. Steelman matched him with an 11-yarder for his program-tying 17th TD run of the season, then saluted the cadets after the score.
Carlton Jones had 17 rushing touchdowns in 2004.
Nick Sloan put Navy up 10-7 with a 31-yard field goal.
Then came the ugly yet, so sweet kick for Army that send the game into halftime tied at 10. Navy twice tried to freeze Osteen with consecutive timeouts. They didnt work. There was a high snap, a line drive kick, a glance off the upright and good! Osteens 41-yarder as time expired had the cadets rocking the Linc.
The fun wouldnt last and it was just the latest loss for the Black Knights.
Theres more football left for Navy after Saturdays tradition-filled spectacle. The Midshipmen play Arizona State in the Fight Hunger Bowl on Dec. 29 in San Francisco.
With cadets and midshipmen standing, bouncing and cheering on a gloomy day, it was clear how much the centuries-old rivalry means to both sides.
Biden handed off coin flipping duties to a referee before the game and made the traditional switch from the Navy side to the Army side at halftime. Team highlights were played to Gonna Fly Now. Billed as Americas Game, the hours before kickoff were highlighted by the Army Corps of Cadets and the Brigade of Midshipmen march onto the field. The cadet glee club performed the national anthem.
Cadets even brought one of those oversized goofy cutouts of Bidens head to show off during the game.
There were reminders all around the Linc, full and with a festive vibe for a rare time this football season, that this was no ordinary game. Forget the kiss cam during timeouts. Purple Hearts and Distinguished Service Cross awards were presented.
Low clouds wiped out the parachute jumps.
The Midshipmen played with Rafi stickers on the back of their helmets as a salute to injured third-string quarterback Ralph Montalvo. Montalvo remained in a medically-induced coma after he was critically injured in a car accident near his home last on Thanksgiving night.
Montalvo was scheduled to travel to Philadelphia and dress for the Army-Navy game before the accident. The Naval Academy had shipped his game jersey to his parents and it will be waiting for him.

As far as I heard and this was a while back mind you. From what I understand Cedar Fair wanted to see how the Timberliners run on Voyage before they decided to do anything with the ride. I also heard that they contacted Gravity Group and Intamin to look at what they could do by re-modifying the ride.
They have put a TON of money into that ride. They have two options: Take the massive loss and have a huge empty space in the park or wait, re-modify the ride, add Timberliners and watch it back in action within in a year or two.

Fish Busters' Bulletin
Monday, March 01, 2010
Media contact: Bob Wattendorf
Photo Gallery
5-year License
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), a major partner in the Get Outdoors Florida! coalition (www.GetOutdoorsFlorida.org) encourages families to enjoy all the pleasures of recreational fishing in Florida. Active, nature-based recreation develops happier, healthier and smarter lifestyles for Floridians, as well as encouraging a conservation stewardship ethic among resource users.
According to the last several national surveys by the U.S. Census Bureau dealing with fishing and wildlife-associated recreation, more people fish in Florida than in any other state, and more tourists come here to fish and spend their money than anywhere else in the country. Like the FWC, the angling industry wants to keep Florida as the Fishing Capital of the World and knows the quality of fishing depends on great resources and responsible management.
One way the FWC and their industry partners encourage fishing and provide extra incentives and savings to anglers is via a special 5-year freshwater fishing license bonus program. Beginning March 1, the first 3,000 anglers to upgrade to a 5-year freshwater fishing license will receive a special incentive in the form of free tackle, publications and fishing accessories that add to the convenience and cost savings already associated with a 5-year license.
Matched with the priceless memories created from your fishing experiences, the FWC makes this a deal difficult to resist. A 5-year license costs just $79, plus a convenience fee, but in return you know the fees won't increase while you have your license, and you don't need to worry about renewing for five years. For most anglers, that amounts to barely a dollar per fishing trip, or about one quarter per hour, for healthy, relaxing recreation that allows you to connect with your family and friends in a fun, stress-free environment - and maybe even take home a free meal or two.
The bonus package literally has you covered "hook, line and sinker." The first 3,000 customers to upgrade to a 5-year freshwater fishing license after March 1 receive a free bonus package by mail with samples, magazines and coupons from fishing-related companies. Some of the items offered include:
Also in the package is a variety of useful literature to help ensure a safe-and-sustainable fishing trip, including:
Also thrown in are:
Plus coupons for:
Five-year licenses are available online at MyFWC.com/License and or by calling, 888-347-4356. In addition, they may be purchased at any license agent, such as retail stores that sell fishing supplies and bait-and-tackle shops or at local county tax collectors' offices. Even if your current license hasn't expired, you can order a 5-year license now and have the effective date for the license set for up to 60 days after the purchase. The package typically arrives in three to four weeks.
Fishing license fees are used only for fish and wildlife conservation purposes and are a major source of funding for conservation programs, from habitat restoration to fish stocking and fishing-access enhancement. In addition, each 5-year license allows us to recover the excise taxes that you already pay the federal government on fishing tackle and motor boat fuel taxes to use here in Florida for Sport Fish Restoration Programs, boating-access enhancement and boating safety.
For information about local fishing opportunities, visit MyFWC.com/Fishing, where you can also verify that you will be one of the first 3,000 and see all of the bonus package contents.
One final note, the FWC has designated the weekend of April 3 and 4 (Easter weekend) as Free Fishing Weekend. Both residents and nonresidents can fish in public fresh waters across the state without a license. All other fishing rules apply (see MyFWC.com/Fishing).
We encourage you to join the thousands of anglers who have taken the Anglers' Legacy Pledge (www.AnglersLegacy.org and enter partner code FLFWC). Anglers' Legacy is about giving back what you've been given, and making a promise to introduce somebody new to fishing. There's no membership fee and no obligation; it's just a way to help spread the fun of one of America's most popular traditions and share our fishing heritage with others.
FWC Facts:There's a lot you can do to view wildlife without ever leaving your home. Bring birds, butterflies and wildlife to your backyard with a few simple steps.

A few days ago, we went to Wolferton again. After discovering Exposure last time we visited Wolferton, I mainly took pictures of the sun, experimenting with exposure. I have a certain like for capturing the sun through trees, as you may have noticed on my last Wolferton post (Here) ! :D
It was not quite as cold this time, not cold enough for there to be frost, anyways. But I still had a great time! I hope you have as much fun looking at my photographs as I had taking them! ;-)

Love the updates, really nice thumbnails!

Love the updates, really nice thumbnails!
oooOooo.. janos, loving the tribal warriors, you've provided me with a clear insight on the 'Olden' .. good use of imagination my friend! :D
very nice job ! your studies are ridiculously good.
LOads of work! Congrats man, you deserve it. I like the research you are doing! Pro work. Keep it up.
MacTire Wow, thank you for the link. I had never heard of Dinotopia, but I find it fascinating that his art is being shown in so many exhibitions worldwide (and its clearly very good, classical Illustration that I love). Thank you again!
Lav Thank you
teapo Haha, nice to see someone read the text. Its hard for me to really let you share the story all these factions and people have, because me and my friend are building this world up from scratch (since over a year now) and its harder than one might think. We also have placeholder names at the moment (apart from the Olden people) so our "Mongols" got the name purely based on regional similarities.
Biglu Thanks!
Knut Thanks. Research has been key to ne getting this far with my concepts.
The "Koreans" are the first people on XXX to have discovered the secret of iron. Living in an area with a large amount of natural ressources they developed unbelievably fast and started to expand their iron empire in all directions. First the jungles to the south were indoctrinated and the natives forced to supply a steady flow of wood to burn in the huge iron factories. Then the swampy lands to the west, where the "Koreans" build the slave city of "MingMing". The Godking, living in his iron castle and guarded by 66 iron spirits (women dressed in chains and equipped with a poisonous blade) made a fatal mistake when he decided to expand his Empire to the east, where the mongol tribes lived in small towns and villages. He had not anticipated an alliance of tribes to defend their land, and seeing how a sheer amount of numbers could easily crush few well equipped soldiers the "Mongols" attacked under the leadership of a Khan and crushed the Korean Empire. Nowadays the land formerly known as "Korea" is a province of the Khans Kingdom where the people work hard to pacify the needs of their new ruler.
The Mongols. The Riding people. The danger from the east. The Haybearers.
I really love this cultural design characteristics type things! I looks like you've gotten better at getting an interesting design while also keeping the original look and that's
HARD so congratz!
(Tiny crit, but the legs on a couple of the peeps seem a bit short even with forshortening accounted for :P)
Nice designs!
You did some fantastic job here! Keep it up.
Pixie Trick Yeah the legs are a problem, but I corrected the dummy now, so I think that problem is solved. Thanks for stopping by!
Kidult and Ivan Thanks!
The children of the giants, a name the "Irish" got because of their average heigth which lies at over 2 meters, live on the islands at the coast of the Empire. They live in townships and farm-families and pray to their godly ancestors the giants. After having successfully defended their islands in a war against the Empire that took over half a century, they now live in relative harmony. The different clans inhabit different islands and wear different kinds of striped clothes and once in a while small wars are started to keep the men active.
just wow, great work!
Janos, your characters are improving ALOT! good work, keep it up :)
This latest set are nice! The rendering looks a lot cleaner and more thorough. Very, very nice work. :)
Only one question however (I can be so picky and curious.. not a good combo! :P) : are these based off of the history of the Irish I know, or a story version? The shorts with the very strong, wide contrasting stripes looks a bit strange to me. In the grand scheme of things, shorts were originally just underwear and a very modern idea (especially for women). The shorts are combined with antlers and flowers and other more ancient and nature based icons which is I think the real reason its bugging me.
Anyway, not a comment on your artistic skills at all. Just a bit of musing on costume. :) I'm looking forward to seeing more.
This world project you're doing is most interesting!
I will be following this. :)
The rendering of your latest thumbnails look very good already. I can't wait to see the result of you would make a fully rendered piece :)
Very cool character concepts! i love how you have made so many different takes based on one single base model, very inspiring! I also like those reference/inspiration boards (... save image as.. :P)
Conte and Braintree Thanks!
Pixie Trick Hey. The shorts are definitely a stretch, but the people represented are only supposed to be based on irish. The shorts are supposed to be a very traditional unisex fashion, which reflects the equalness of gender. I am happy to read comments like these that question the art. That is most important! I hope to see you again.
unnamed.device Wow, thanks. Saved you site straight away.
Rotor Thank you so much. I hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoy creating it!
Fumble Thanks! Refernece was key to getting the right feel, I can really only give the advice to use the internet/library/surroundings as inspirations.
Lav Full rendering is my next step. But thats still far off, first I need to get to landscpae/architecture which will be especially hard for me. But after that some day to day scenes will by my main focus.
The Northern tribes of "Mongolia" call themselves "Eskimos". They live off the sea and sometimes on it. Fishing is their main way to gather food, but there are many different hunters dedicated to different prey: Fish, seals, bears and even humans. Gathering under the flag of the mighty Khan the "Eskimos" built naval vessels able to transport their warriors and launch an attack by sea on the Khans enemies.
Man! These last posts are really awesome!!!
Keep posting these nice characters!
Hey Janos! Thought I would stop by and look through what you've been up to. I'm really glad for your continued support in my sketchbook, thank you. :)
I really like all these people-cultural designs you pump out, you have gone a distance to research the ones inspiring you to create these and this really does show. I especially like the "Irish" ones, they really got a brit-irish feel on their desgn. Would be intresting seeing some of these in colour aswell.
The only critique on these are that the folding on the clothes could have been a bit better in some, example this one where the folds makes the cloth look really really thick when I think you want it to look like it is quite thin. http://conceptart.org/forums/attachm...1&d=1277392153
Keep rocking!
Wow Janos, have you gone to the crossroads and done a Robert Johnson? Your new stuff's awesome!
I love the last few concepts, they've got so much character in there faces. Makes me remember why wanna do art so badly as a career. :)
Wow..Look at the first page to now! Amazing progress.
For those character designs are you using references for the faces? The whole design is spectacular.
MAaaaaan the concepts are fucking awesome!Love that u did some real research and the outfit variety!Also the well rendered and detailed faces give the figure a nice living character!Really nice work!Just one critic:You need some more practice on legs, for exsample in the children of the giants female figure its a lil too wide.Other than that fucking great!
I really like the women from this batch. :) However, a lot of the men still strike me as having short legs.
Awwweeessoome! I'm so jealous of those character concepts I don't even know what to say except that I want to see moaarr <3
And you should totally do vikings sometime :muscle:
holy crap man, ur blowing my mind, insane amount of improvement and big props on hitting up the korean culture, never knew that and I'm korean hahaa! keep it up dood!
I love these character concepts, really great work and I like how you put up those ref sheets a well.
you became really awesome!!!thnx for those characters and their research mate!!!
keep up the great work
Are you alive?
jskotte, kingkostas, knut-, Cameli, Stew9, Caio Monteiro Thanks guys! Feel free to use the reference sheets. Also if anyone wants a certain image in better quality just ask me and I'll send it to you.
snootchy Thanks man. Definitely check out your origins. My characters are influenced by asian culture though, I named them koreans only as a starting point.
Sulphur Me and my friend are as good as done with pur northern/viking cultures, expect some updates soon!

Like 2 days later he busted out a badass knife.
That's fine and all, but he could just say hello every now and again.
No matter how high the throne,

I heard he was working on his electric slide....in his speedo. That guy loves his speedo.

27- 0
Thank you to the Priory Soccer Faithful who supported the team throughout this amazing season!
Our Invitational this year was dedicated to Brandon Hsueh. Each high school and junior school runner proudly wore a small red and blue ribbon with the initials B H pinned to the left shoulder of his singlet. This sign of solidarity was a great motivating force for our athletes.
Varsity: This is always an exciting race with teams from all over the state coming in to see what the competition is like. This year four early girls races took all the dew off the course and conditions were near ideal, except for some softness in the course due to recent rains. We had drawn lane 23, which turned out to be a blessing, since lanes 1 through 10 had to make a severe angle across the field to avoid the backstop. Everything went off without a hitch as the runners sprinted to the first hill. No one team dominated from the beginning as runners from 16 different schools were represented in the top 20 when they hit the mile mark. Spencer came through in 27th and Ryan Donlin hit the mark in 50th. Our five other runners ran as a pack posting 6:01 for their first mile. Compared to last year the pace seemed slower and the mile times confirmed that suspicion. The next mile saw Ryan inch up on Spencer and Danny Stein move slightly ahead of our pack, with Kyle Finnegan slightly dropping off the pace. Cresting the long hill at 3400 meters, Danny Stein and Ryan Donlin started to consistently gain places. Danny move into the top 60 and Ryan broke into the top 40. The real surprise for us, though, was Peter Hilboldt who was out in front of both Zach LaVallee and Andrew O'Sullivan. A strong surge up the final hill moved Ryan (36th) to within 9 seconds of Spencer, who finished just out of medal territory in 31st. Danny was our third man in 52nd, while Peter, Andrew and Zach came across the line within four seconds of each other (65, 68 and 69). The star of the race was Peter who ran within 11 seconds of his PR on a very challenging course. With 18 full teams in the race Priory finished a respectable 7th. A solid effort but one in need of improvement if we want to make a statement at the District race on this course.

Living with Water: The sandbag, a relatively new toolFargo, ND (WDAY TV) -- We continue our Living With Water special, a Forum Communications. The sandbag. An emblem of our recent flood fights, but it's really a relatively new tool.
Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) -- We continue our Living With Water special, a Forum Communications. The sandbag. An emblem of our recent flood fights. But it's really a relatively new tool.
Before the late 1960's, flood fighting techniques would be considered primitive at best.
Mark Piehl (Clay County Archivist): "Well basically before 1969 the idea was just get out of the way. It was deciding which people to encourage to move out of there homes and evacuate."
But by the flood of 1969, a new material was making holding back the water easier.
Mark: "They did have plastic sheeting, they had polyethylene sheeting by 1969. I think it made a huge difference. It's pretty tough to, I'm guessing it's pretty tough to keep back water just using sand and burlap."
With improvements in heavy machinery the 1969 Flood was in many ways the first modern flood fight in Fargo, sort of.
Mayor Dennis Walaker (Fargo): "A contractor would open a man hole cover and if he saw water he'd fill it full of sandbags."
After the 69 flood get out of the way took on a new meaning.
Mayor Walaker: "We had houses here that were flooding at 30 feet, so we started purchasing those and if we couldn't dike them we took them down."
Now it's everything from spider machines to hesco barriers to aqua fences to hold back the rising Red River. The computer is the cutting edge in flood fighting technology.
Brad ANderson (Moorhead GIS Specialist): "So we figured out from our Lidar data what areas will be affected."
Lidar is elevation data collected with a laser and than combined with GIS or Geographic Information Systems is the newest weapon in the flood fighting arsenal.
Brad: "Look at city infrastructure and our roads where are buildings are, elevations and then we can overlay it to work the plan. Where do we need to put levees where do we need to put permanent features, temporary features. "
Still there are limits to modern machinery and technology.
Mayor Walaker: "After they get the forklift out there to the sight and put the pallet of sandbags on the burm or the boulevard or in the back yard they have to be placed. That has not changed."
All the rest of the floods we have had really since the late 1960's. Once again, college students, high school students, kids, saving our bacon.
So when the water rises again, we'll likely turn to our most time tested flood fighting weapon, the youth. Forum Communications newspapers and broadcast will both continue our special project, Living With Water, the next four weekends.

"One Way Trigger"
"One Way Trigger"
Well they can't all be winners.
I like it. It's a different sound with Julians falsetto, but I think it's good.
It's awful. Horrible. One of their worst intros. Fuck the world. Maybe it'll grow on me
Julian sounds as if he has no desire whatsoever to sing in this band.
that was dogshit.
4/27 - Ghost BC - Fonda (?)
4/29 - Franz Ferdinand - Wiltern (?)
4/30 - Mono - Troubadour (?)
5/03 - Philip Glass - Royce Hall
5/06 - Rodrigo y Gabriela - Orpheum (?)
last.fm, if you care
Twitter, if you dare
Jesus! I expected a bad song after the comments above, but fuck me that sounds like a band filling its recording contract with any old bullshit.
I love it!
05/07/14 Morrissey (hopefully) - San Jose Civic
06/06/14 Buzzcocks - Slim's
06/26/14 Veruca Salt - the Independent
What's up with the falsetto? Stop. The synths sound too fast and kid-boppy... Some classic Strokes guitar layered throughout but no real hook.
You are exactly right DFrank. Maybe they just wanted to try something new, but it sounds like it's just filler for the album.
Oh look it stopped snowing...
it's aight
St Vincent 3/19, Cut Copy 3/31, The Knife 4/9, Mogwai 4/15, Pixies 4/17
It sounds a lot like Julians solo record, with some Strokes mixed in. I really liked the solo record, but I know a lot of people did not.
New album "Comedown Machine" coming out on March 26th
Definitely some "corporate synergy" going on with the cover-turned-billboard.
The first official single "All the Time" from the new album up now!
I like it more than the first track. Sounds way more like a Strokes song.
Fuck yeah! Much better
I really dig it. And I also like One Way Trigger. Looking forward to this album and the hopefully ensuing summer tour we missed out on in 2011!
maybe i've just moved on from the strokes but this did nothing for me. it' not bad by any means, but it's just kind of blah.
Does anyone have any tour info?
I just want to have something to do...
god dammit they forgot to take their add meds
Wow Comedown Machine is great. I'd give it at least a 8. I like the new sound a lot

The Arizona Legislature adopted House Bill 2246 (pdf/32kb/6pp) allowing the sale and use of consumer fireworks throughout the state of Arizona effective Dec. 1, 2010.
This legislation pre-empts local jurisdictions from banning the sale but does allow for cities or towns to prohibit the use of consumer fireworks within their boundaries or city limits.
Listed below are general guidelines and information for Scottsdale residents, businesses and fireworks vendors. If you have specific questions that are not addressed below, please call (480) 312-1855.
Fireworks Ordinance
On Nov. 9, 2010, the Scottsdale City Council adopted a new ordinance that prohibits the use of consumer fireworks within city of Scottsdale limits.
The ordinance also sets penalties and liability related to the use of fireworks, and requires businesses selling consumer fireworks to display signage advising the use of such items is not allowed within city limits.
permits, guidelines and vendor information
Fireworks are classified in three categories: 1) Professional use aerial types; 2) Consumer grade fireworks; and 3) Novelty items. Professional use aerial fireworks are what you see used in large July 4 and New Year's events. They are not allowed to be sold to anyone that is not licensed for their use. By definition, permissible Consumer fireworks cannot leave the ground and fly into the air. Most are made to be set on the ground and ignited in a controlled setting. Some are hand-held devices. All have clearly marked manufacturer guidelines for their proper use and all are required to be used outdoors. Novelty items are small devices that are allowed to be sold and used at anytime. Novelty items include smoke balls, poppers, and small wire sparklers. Novelty items also have clearly marked manufacturer guidelines on the package for the proper use of the item.
Color Information Sheet Showing Consumer and Novelty Firework Examples (pdf/390k/1pp)
Retail Sales Guidelines for Consumer Fireworks (pdf/248k/2pp)
Note: The requirements listed in this document are general items and not inclusive of all the requirements detailed in the COS Ordinance #3892 and NFPA 1124 (where applicable). On-site inspections may find items not listed but required.
City ordinance #3892 requires that signage be posted by all displays selling Consumer Grade fireworks and by all cash register point-of-sale locations. The sign MUST be as shown, RED INK on WHITE background.
Required Signage at point-of-sale locations and displays (pdf/71k/1pp)
A Consumer Fireworks Retail Sale permit from the Fire Department is required by any business entity selling Consumer Fireworks whether in a building or temporary structure. If selling from a temporary structure, i.e. tents, planning approval is required and a Fire Code required tent permit is required. The cost of a Consumer Fireworks Retail Sale permit is $100.
Consumer Fireworks Retail Sale permit application (pdf/66k/2pp)
The Danger
The potential for a major wildland fire incident is present in Scottsdale throughout most of the year. The threat increases dramatically during the summer months, and often peaks around the 4th of July holiday, when the highest sales and use of consumer fireworks is expected.
Beyond the risk of fire danger, is the potential for burns and traumatic firework injuries. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) reports in the year 2008 alone, approximately 7,000 people were treated for injuries in U.S. hospital emergency rooms. The risk of fireworks injuries (burns, lacerations, contusions) for teens age 15-19 and children 5-9, was two times higher than the risk experienced by the general public.

Hopefully Hart knows how to use a defibrillator because that is the only thing that might help re-energize Dooley and his downward spiraling football team.
When a new athletic director arrives on campus, coaches tend to pucker up a bit. That's because ADs — like most new bosses — often like to put their own people in place around them. In the case of Derek Dooley at Tennessee, it would seem he'd have plenty of reasons to worry about the intentions of his new boss, Dave Hart.
Speak to those close to the Tennessee program and you'll soon learn that even the assistant coaches believe Dooley's job won't be safe unless he wins eight football games this fall. Coming off a 5-7 season, a streak-ending loss to Kentucky, and facing a further decline in season-ticket sales, Dooley's seat is warm to say the least.
Couple that with the fact that Hart — who came from Alabama (no banjo on his knee, though) — has close ties to new Tennessee defensive coordinator Sal Sunseri and is rumored to be tight with Alabama defensive coordinator/up-and-coming coaching prospect Kirby Smart and you might expect Dooley to be looking over his shoulder these days.
Not so. At least not according to the coach:
"Dave has had a real re-energizing effect on me in a positive way. He, of course, has a great background of understanding big-time college athletics. He was the son of a coach, so he gets coaching. He gets the day-to-day problems that come with coaching, and he's just been incredibly supportive of everything we're doing.
We have a lot of dialogue. We talk at least every week, and he's very much in tune with our issues. My only hope is that we allow Dave to do his job, and that's the only hope I have. If Dave's allowed to do his job, then we're going to have success as a department…
I think we're on the same page (regarding expectations), and I think what I appreciate about Dave is that he also understands the world of coaching. He understands that (there's) things you can control, and certainly we need to show significant improvement on that. He understands things you can't control that you have to learn to manage day to day.
We're on the same page, and I'm appreciative of Dave's kind of taking on this role. I think he's going to be great for Tennessee."
Sounds good. But Dooley better get off to a good start this fall and provide proof of progress if his relationship with his new boss is to remain positive.
As for the coach's odd comment regarding Hart being allowed to do his job, rest assured that some UT fans will wonder if Dooley might be targeting Tennessee chancellor Jimmy Cheek with that remark.

Anything to do with this recent cold spell. This morning I see it was -5 in Big Bear, 25F in Riverside, 26F in Camp Pendleton, 32F in Oceanside, 21F at (Rolen's)Temecula Creek (Temecula), and -38F at West Yellowstone. Was 25F at my place.
Anyone else see record lows or unusually cold temperatures?
This cold doesn't begin to compare to the Feb 2006 SoCal temps tho..
Hope my friend's orange and lemon trees made it thru okay (w/plastic covers).

Good Morning!!
I just realized this morning that I didn't post yesterday; I really try to everyday, to keep this thread going. I hate to see it slow down like it has!!! I went to the gym early yesterday and then had class. My kids are out for fall break, and my oldest daughter got her braces off yesterday, after having them on for almost 3 years. Such an exciting time!! She looks so beautiful!! We got our AC units replaced, so all is well with that. I got my cardio knocked out already, and will be doing chest/triceps with my trainer today. Then home for terminex to come do a home inspection, the repairman to come check out my treadmill (it's making a funny noise), and the carpet cleaners to come clean our carpets. I knew this would be my only opportunity to check in. My workouts have been challenging, and I love that, and my food has been good!! I am feeling really good & strong. I have decided to start taking L-glutamine again; I used to take it, and stopped for some reason, but think I'll add it back in. It isn't only good for muscle recovery but also for digestive health and immune support.
Anyhow...no time for supplies. I've got to get all the furniture moved and vacuum before I head out to train.
Everyone check in!!!!!!
Have a great hump day!!
"The only person you should try to be better than, is the person you were yesterday!"
Greetings Warriors, Didn't post yesterday because it was a Free Day and I usually don't on that day. I am starting my 12th Week of the alternated program tonight and I have seem some great results from it as well. Plan to go to active rest again next week to plan for the next type of program. (I was looking at the Mens Fitness 12 week program in the book store and it is interesting as well) or I might start with the current program with different exercises again. not sure yet. Hope everyone is doing great! Parson, Island dude and the rest be sure to check in with us this week and let us know how ya are. Thanks for responding BDMOM, we all know you are always a busy person in your activities. Keep Moving Forward gang and improving your yourselves in all ways!
Hey warriors!
Well I haven't missed my lovely inclined treadmill walks in the am. :) work has been ok this week and i have been good with my food. I am sooo missing pushing those weights but I will refrain lol.. I want to come back strong again..
Parson: actually I was thinking I should take a break but of course was stubborn and now I got forced too.. live and learn when the body speaks listen or pay the price.. Hope you are knocking out those wo's man.
BD, Runner, Bill, I know you all are rockin and I am always happy to read your posts... got to get ready for the hula ladies training session.. *im not working out.. just instructing :)
Claude: Hope things start falling into place for you man.. Much aloha you guys..
Good Morning Warriors!!
I am leaving for class in about 30 minutes. Then home to get my other cardio in. Britt has a friend coming over, and I will take the girls for frozen yogurt, but I won't have any. Then a few errands, and Britt has voice lessons. I knew I wouldn't have time to get back on,so wanted to check in quickly. Tomorrow is super busy, but I will try to check in. I am going to hit the gym early tomorrow, then Britt has ortho appt., and then the girls and I will spend the day out shopping and spending some time together. Their fall break has not been much fun for them, with AC guys at house all day Monday and all the repairmen here yesterday, and I had school on Tues & Thurs. I want to get them out of the house and do some fun stuff!!
I'm getting my workouts in and my food has been good! I'm loving these new workouts; I wake up with DOMS every day!!
Make it a fantastic day!!!
Morning Warriors!
WO is done! I tweaked my back earlier in the week. Nothing major, but it has been sore. I had to adjust a little bit today on my workout, but still had a really good one.
SOOOOO - What are we doing with this thread? I know just about all of us are on MFP.
I'm not ready to abandon this thread; it's been a second home to me for nealy two years. MFP is great for quick bantering back and forth and accountabilty. I try to keep things totally fitness related on there. On here, we tend to share a little more, and are more personal. I like that. I do feel that there are days I am too busy, but I will always try to make BFL a priorty. Plus, we have friends on here that aren't on MFP. I hope everyone decides to stay around and keep the Warrior thread going. I'd miss it!!!
Warrior Cuervo is in da house!!!
Sorry it has been so long gang. I am still kicking it. Doing the Kris Gethin routine with my wife, BD, and runnermom. I absolutely love the routine and am having a blast. Foods are about 80% so I need to tighten up a bit, but all in all I am feeling great. Work has been busy, daughter had surgery, still working weekends so it has been really busy. I will find more time to post here. This is our home and family here and I totally need everyone's support.
Island, hope the shoulder is better. You will find alternatives to keep you progressing until it heals. Hope everything else is going well.
WPBill- you are still amazing me with your dedication. Great job on keeping fitness a priority. I only hope to be as dedicated as you have been.
Parson- thanks for the reminder that I have slacked on my bfl family. I will do better. Hope things are good in bulking for you. Have you heard anything else from tazz?
BD and runner- thanks for keeping me in line. We will all learn so much from this new routine. It is a great change from the normal routine we get use to. The fun is about to begin. I have company coming tomorrow so I will try to be good. Otherwise I am ready to lock in and give it my best till the end. I like my progress so far and know I will not be disappointed if I give it my best till the end. I have another routine in mind after this one is done. I need to check it out a little more but it focuses on muscle gains and will be great for winter. We will see how I feel after Gethin.
Everyone else- you are all in my thoughts. I am on MFP daily so friend me if you are on. My name is the same as here.
Have a great weekend everyone.
Hey Warriors!
Got a busy day ahead! Taking Wendy to her testing for additional teaching certifications. Got to go and pick up Joanna from her first sleepover...
You all keep rocking it.
Back again!!! Busy day ahead. Gonna get my workout in then have company coming over. Make it a good day everyone.
Happy Saturday!!! I just finished working out & have some errands to run & then home for grocery shopping, laundry & all those household chores. Everyone have a fabulous weekend!!! The mornings are cooling off finally; it's looking like some hikes in my future!! Make it a great day, warriors!
Hi Warriors,
Sorry for not checking in the past few days.....things have gotten crazy at work with paperwork, but I won't bore you with the details...we will most definitely keep this Warrior thread going!
Week 2 of Kris Gethin is IN THE BOOKS! I am feeling great....thanks Cuervo and BDMom for enduring these tough workouts too! I agree with Cuervo that nutrition is always the most difficult piece of the puzzle for me, but I am staying clean at least 80% of the time. I know it is all the extra running I am doing too that is making me hungrier....oh well....progress not perfection.
Speaking of extra running, I ran 10 miles this morning. My half marathon is 5 weeks away and I AM READY! I had a great run today and was very close to race pace....these cooler temps just make me want to run fast! I love it! My body feels so strong from all of the KG workouts and I know it is helping my running as well.
Parson: Hope Wendy did well on her certification tests. I am so glad to be done with all of those!
BD: Glad you are getting cooler temps! Sounds like a busy weekend for you!
Cuervo: I hope your daughter is okay. What kind of surgery did she have?
Island: How's the shoulder? I did a few extra kettlebell snatches for you yesterday morning!
WP: Did you have good results with the Men's Fitness challenge? My husband gets that magazine so I am a little bit familiar with the program.
Okay, just got back from fall festival at my kids' school, and now we are off to Mickey's football game. Tomorrow Mickey turns 10 years old!!!! We are going out tonight to a Japanese steakhouse for his birthday....not sure how well my nutrition will be with that menu! Tomorrow is also my dad's birthday. It is tradition that Mickey and my dad spend their birthdays together (they have for the past 9 years), but my dad called on Wednesday and was very sick so they couldn't make the trip here :( We were all very sad, especially Mickey as he and "Papa" share a special bond (oh, and BTW, my dad was born on HIS dad's birthday too....3 generations on Oct. 14...what are the chances??), but my parents are hopefully going to come in next weekend and we will celebrate again then!
Have a great weekend Warriors!!!!! Enjoy your time with your family!
Hi Warriors!
Things have been good for me, I need to "tighten up" my eating. I haven't gained weight, but have been feeling the bloat of too many sweet things. Workouts still regular. Good to see that everyone is doing ok. Island I hope your shoulder is healing fast, I know its killing you to not use it. Runner, hope your dad is feeling better- wow! 3 generations? My brother and sister share a bday, sept 12, 8 years apart. BD, your a constant inspiration! I will try and post more often. Have a strong week, gang!
Hey Warriors,
I've been busy so sorry for not posting will try and get better at this. The way my day is going doesn't look good for wo. Usually get something done when I go with Chris. Well tonight will be driving Julie to school across town in traffic. So will leave as soon as I get home from work take Chris to the gym then off we go. Will grab some salad stuff from home and go over to moms and have dinner with her. Then back get Julie for the ride home ETA should be about 10 ish. On the up side Linda and I had a spur of the moment date night on sat. It sure was good getting a little time for each other. I take it when I can get it these days. I need to start focusing back on the eating clean thing and decide when to bite the bullet and get back into the gym. Not enough hrs. in the day on the weekends. Need to get things done outside before winter sets in. Which can be any day now.
Glad to see everyone is attacking their programs Will try and do personals later this week.
My vote is to keep our family together here.
Have a great day warriors.
Good Monday Warriors!!
No gym for me today. Delaney is home sick....well, not really, but she had a stomach ache this morning and didn't feel too great, so I let her stay home. She seems fine and probably could have gone to school, but...............
I did a 30 minute HIIT on my TM awhile ago; I just wanted to throw a few minutes of running in there to see how I would do. I probably only ran 5-6 minutes of the 30, but if I am going to try to run a 5K on Thanksgiving, I want to try to see how my heel does. It hurt a little when I started, but kinda numbed up after that. It is hurting a bit now, but not more than normal. Will see how it does as the day progresses. I will do my second cardio a little later today.
My eating was not fabulous over the weekend, but not terrible. Definately not 100% on plan. I am committing to super clean eating from now until the weekend before Halloween (for my husband's party) and a little indulgence on Halloween, and then super committed until Thanksgiving. I was so looking forward to my weight workout today, but will have to try to squeeze it in after class tomorrow. Not sure how I'll get all the cardio and weights in tomorrow I have classes most of the day & Britt has guitar lessons after school, so it will be tight for the second cardio session, but I'll make it happen!!
All in all, life is good. No complaints!!
Claude: It sounds like your family keeps you busy!! Glad you and Linda had a nice evening out. We are due; our anniversary is November 13th...so our night out is coming!! How is your heel? Any progress? When does Linda start her gel injections?
MU: always love when you check in!!! Now is the time to tighten up that diet; the holidays are around the corner. Try to keep it clean now so you can indulge a bit when they roll around. I'm happy you are making time for your workouts!!! Try to check in with us whenever you can!!
runnermom: Happy belated birthday to Mickey, and your dad!! Wow, that is something...3 birthdays on the same day. What are the chances? My kids call my dad Papa as well. They called my mom Mimi. Let me know how that workout goes today. I watched the video twice and was ready to tackle it, but it will have to wait until tomorrow. I'll do chest/tris tomorrow & then do back/biceps on Wednesday with my trainer. Not sure how I will do the rest of the week, after missing today. I would like to get my weight workouts in during the week, so on Saturdays, I can just do spinning. It's a lot to do both.
Parson: How did the sleepover go? No calls in the middle of the night? I remember those days; it's scary to sleep somewhere other than the comfort of your own home. It's a part of growing up though. Thanks for always keeping us on our toes and keeping this thread active. You are Mr. Fitness Pal & Mr. Body for Life!!!!
Cuervo: Week 3 here we come!! I'm ready to start seeing changes, but I know I need to keep my diet super clean to do that. I am anxious to see what every week brings. I'm loving the intensity and variety and the plan overall. It will be great timing too, to finish right before Christmas, and then I'll start a new "challenge" after the first of the year. We are throwing around the idea of a family vaca to Hawaii in the spring!! That would definately be incentive!!
Island: How's the shoulder? Hope you are showing some improvement. Keep moving forward!! You are a Warrior!!
WPBill: Thanks for checking in. Glad to hear you are doing well. I can't believe you have knocked out yet another 12 weeks. WTG!!
Alright all, I need to go feed my child!!
Have a great day!
I was wondering if these threads are for certain group that has journeyed together or anyone who is serious in maintaining this lifestyle? From this last post I am familiar with 6 of you... BDMom, Claude, Runnermom, Cuervo, Island_Dude and WPBill. Either way, have enjoyed your inputs in my journey on MFP and wanted to say thank you here too. Excited to start Challenge 2 on Monday.

As part of OUR pledge to help dogs in need, we want to use our star power to bring attention to the fact that many employees of Martha's company have helped out our kind (and even cats) by taking in animals in need. We thought it would be great to tell you some of their stories! This friend of ours was rescued by Tressa, a food intern at Martha Stewart Living magazine. She adopted Sky ( a Weimaraner) in March 2009 from the DC Area Weimaraner Rescue. Sky is 3 years old. We are very impressed that Sky behaves so well when she gets bathed, because bathing is not one of our favorite pastimes.
Here is what Tressa had to say about Sky when we interviewed her.
"We only rescued Sky in March, but now we can't imagine life without her. We don't know much about her life before she came to live with us, except that she came from a family in Ohio who could not care for her and that she's had a litter of puppies. Sky loves to go on long runs, sit in her corner of the couch, and burrow under the covers in the mornings. She is also a pro at counter-surfing when we are not watching. I intern in the food department and my boyfriend is a chef, so we're pretty sure Sky is the best fed dog in all of Brooklyn. She's a connoisseur of local raw eggs and frozen peas!"
