This past weekend, Simpson was in Florida for his last official visit.
"It was great. I liked it a lot down there. I really like the coaching staff and a few of the players that I hung out with. The stadium really stood out to me. The one thing that is a downfall for Florida, they don't have a running backs coach yet. I want to at least talk to my position coach that I will be around for the next 4-5 years. Coach Meyer told me they hoped to have one by the end of this week."
It now appears three schools are in the mix for Simpson's signature.
"It's real tight between those three schools. I am trying to visit with all the coaches, and talk with them one last time, before I make my decision. I will inform the coaches Friday or Saturday night. I will announce at a press conference next Wednesday, where I am going," said Simpson.
The four star back faces a tough decision in the next few days. He knows what matters in his decision.
"I am mainly looking at the depth chart and early playing time. I want to be able to go in and play early. Distance will not play any factor in my decision, at all."
Three teams are dead locked for Simpson's signature.
Alabama: "I just really like the situation at Alabama. I have a chance for early playing time. The environment at Alabama is strictly football."
Virginia: "I like the West Coast offense. It gives the back a chance to catch passes down the field. I really like that. They are a program on the rise, and they have a top ten recruiting class."
Florida: "I like their wide open attack offense. I like Coach Urban Meyer and the new coaching staff."
Simpson expects visits from the Virginia and Florida coaches later this week.

Russell Brand Files For Divorce
December 31, 2011 by staff
Russell Brand Files For Divorce, They cut it really close, but Russell Brand and Katy Perry managed to squeak onto our list of the most surprising celebrity splits of 2011. The kooky couple is divorcing after only 14 months of marriage.
Taking full advantage of the slow holiday news cycle, Brand, 36, told CNN in a statement, "Sadly, Katy and I are ending our marriage. I'll always adore her and I know we'll remain friends."
The British comedian filed for divorce from his pop star wife on Dec. 30 in Los Angeles, citing the ol' chestnut "irreconcilable differences."
Speculation that there may be trouble in the couple's candy-coloured paradise reached a fever pitch earlier this week, when reports surfaced that the pair spent the holidays apart following a huge fight. Perry, 27, was photographed vacationing in Hawaii while Brand stayed in England, and both have been spotted in recent days without their wedding bands.
The divorce filing may have caught Perry by surprise, reports TMZ, who notes that Brand's court documents request that each party pay their own legal fees and says the rights to their "community property assets" are TBD, suggesting there is no pre-nup.
Earlier this year, they both denied reports of trouble in their marriage amid tabloid speculation of a trial separation over the summer.
Brand insisted they were fine earlier this month on The Ellen Degeneres Show, saying "I'm really happily married…I'm married to Katy perpetually, until death do us part was the pledge. And I'm still alive." Meanwhile Perry tweeted last month, "First I'm pregnant, then I'm divorced. What am I, 'All My Children?!'"

New Delhi, Jun 19: BJP prime ministerial candidate L K Advani on Thrusday said the construction of a temple at Ayodhya, the birthplace of Lord Rama, is possibile through a cordial atmosphere, help and cooperation of all sections of society.
Witnessing the premiere of 'Ram Mandir', the Hindi version of a Telugu movie based on a real story that happened in Bhadrachalam in Khammam district of Andhra Pradesh 400 years ago, Advani said the important message the film conveyed was that the temple construction is possible only with the help and cooperation of all religions.
Referring to the character played by noted Telugu actor Akkineni Nageshwar Rao, who plays the role of Kabir and his son Nagarjun, the lead role of Rama Das, a tehsildar of the Nizam Administration, Advani said, ''The film has depicted how a cordial atmosphere can be created in our society and the movie had turned out to be an all-time hit in the Telugu film industry.'' The film, produced by Krishnam Raju, also reflects how the nation and its people want to have Ram mandirs all over the country, including the birthplace of Lord Rama, he said.
The Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha said he as Information and Broadcasting Minister in the Morarji Desai Government had told the moviemakers the Ramayana and Mahabharata were the treasure house for them, not only to enthrall the audience in the country but also to help projecting India's culture and heritage to the outside world.
Remembering his own Rath Yatra undertaken 18 years ago, Advani said the Yatra had changed not just his life but his nature of thinking. "The Yatra made me influence the polity of India," he added.
However, former BJP President M Venkaiah Naidu said the release of an audio-CD by Advani, the real Ram Bhakta of our times was going with the occasion.
"He is a towering personality, who had imbibed good qualities of Lord Rama", Naidu said.
Speaking about the movie 'Ram Mandir', producer of the movie Raju claimed that the movie had created history, in terms of popularity, in the 85 years of the cinema world, and that he intends to bring such films in six different languages, including its Hindi version. "This is another gift of God," he recalled.
Many renowned BJP and RSS personalities attended the premiere organised at the Siri Fort Auditorium in the city.

So I was playing Rebirth Island again, and while I was reloading my AK74U, Reznov killed a dude for me. That totally means he actually did escape Vorkuta! Yay.
Also, nice lil' class I got here, I call it FOREVERALONEdotJPEG. The class is composed of:

You noobtube, and hipfire. I got some pretty saucy messages (FUCK YOU!) from people, so it must be a good combination, or people wouldn't get turned on like that.

Fabulous well crafted hair clips. Shipping and communication fab. Loved them.
Emily on Feb 25, 2015
It was pretty but not as white as my daughter's Baptism dress. It looked yellow next to it so she couldn't wear it for the Baptism! The seller made it custom though for her & made the decoration extra big at no additional cost! Took a while to come, but it did ship right away & it came from Canada so that's why it took longer. She can wear it for something else.
I started my shop on Etsy as a way of keeping busy during the slower winter portrait season. I live in central Canada where the weather swings from 40 degrees in the summer to -50 in the winter, and not a whole lot of people want to brave those kind of temperatures to have family pictures taken in January. I love to make my own props for my clients sessions and am so excited to be able to share both my photographs and my hand crafted childrens and baby items with you!

The Business Case for Cloud IaaS
- Marsha Randall

1 The Business Case for Cloud IaaS A leadership perspectives white paper Recommended next steps for business and industry executives Issue 10 in a series
2 Executive Summary Business needs, economic concerns and technology trends are driving many organisations to pursue IT strategies that include near and long-term plans for cloud services. The implementation of infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) is viewed by many adopters as a critical first step toward broader cloud adoption. In many cases, customers experiences of working with providers to deploy IaaS services will determine their trust and comfort levels for expanding into other types of cloud services. So selecting a capable and trustworthy partner is critical. UAE cloud market supply and demand Major telcos like du have led the competitive march from telecoms into cloud computing, and are now widely seen as credible players in the provision of cloud computing services, including IaaS. Telcos have a long heritage in providing data centre managed services, and have combined this with their networking and security expertise to address customer requirements for enterprise-grade cloud computing services. Their cloud computing focus has initially been primarily on IaaS, and this will likely continue to be the case as they build out services to appeal to a global customer base. Cloud computing technologies that enterprises currently have or use and are prioritising for investment in the future (Source: Ovum 54 UAE respondents) Software as a Service (SaaS) Private cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Communications as a Service (Hosted IPT/UC) Platform as a Service (PaaS) Hybrid cloud Virtual private cloud Percentage Shared private cloud Shared virtual private cloud Category Have now Have in 6 months Have in 6-24 months Invest within 6 months Invest within 6-24 months To date, the cloud focus of telcos has built around the importance of communications-asa-service, variously referred to as collaboration-as-a-service or unified-communicationsas-a-service. Produced by du
3 Telcos also recognise the position of business ready service-provider-hosted voice services (IP PBX and UC capabilities) in terms of having some of the attributes of cloud services. This is becoming another important focus for them, led by a new generation of on-demand voice and unified communications services. The telco positioning for IaaS is firmly in the area of enterprise-grade services, to distinguish the proposition from that of the likes of Amazon, which is seen as the player that most IT managers associate with the early adoption of cloud computing (and specifically IaaS). The term virtual private cloud best describes the telco s IaaS offering, and is well understood by IT managers because of its similarity with the concept of virtual private networks. This means that cloud services are delivered over secure public IP (usually IPsec or SSL encryption) or over MPLS VPNs. The concept of enterprise-grade can also be reinforced by capabilities that go beyond those usually seen in an IaaS offering. For example, telcos can offer physical servers on demand in addition to virtual servers. Through a service provisioning engine, it is possible to arrange services so that a customer does not share a server blade with other customers, as an additional reassurance regarding security, for instance. One other topic that dominates many cloud discussions is the service providers ability to maintain so-called hybrid environments, where there is a mix of traditional and cloud delivery models. Customers can keep their infrastructure and applications in-house, access traditional managed services, and/or move workloads to the cloud. According to Cisco, IaaS is an area of cloud computing that currently receives the most market attention, with many enterprises planning to adopt IaaS via an external provider. In the UAE, a survey by Ovum has revealed that the use of IaaS is already on the radar for 30% of organisations, and that this level looks set to double over the next two years. Infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) defined IaaS delivers the three basic resources of a computer: processing, storage, and network I/O resources. Amazon Web Services is the best-known IaaS public cloud that combines all three and adds others. Many IaaS offerings are not as broad. Some, such as Nirvanix for example only provide storage-as-a-service.
4 IaaS mixes standardised hardware (servers and routers) and software components (hypervisor, operating system, management software) with associated services such as Internet addressing, directory, and security into a wide variety of offerings. These vary in terms of: scope some are broad, such as Amazon Web Services; others are narrowly focused, such as on storage. technology most are virtualisation-centric, but an increasing minority are not. target some target IT operations; some other developers. configuration options. In addition to generic cloud computing and public cloud benefits, IaaS enables enterprises to: i. Reuse existing technology, code, and skills, and minimise lock-in. It does this by making it relatively easy to move IT resources (usually packaged as virtual software appliances) on to and away from an IaaS infrastructure. ii. Have a good level of configuration control over the infrastructure resources they use such as CPU type, memory amount, and disk configuration, and the software (virtual appliance) they run on top of these resources within the constraints of the vendor s service catalogue. IaaS consumers are responsible for the creation, deployment, and management of the virtual machines (VMs) and/or applications that use IaaS resources, and for defining and configuring the resources required by their VMs/applications, as well as for adding more resources if required. There is a range of management services available to cater for a range of enterprise requirements for hands-on versus hands-off operations. However, consumers do not manage the infrastructure that underpins IaaS resources. This is the responsibility of an IaaS provider like du and its partners. IaaS is mostly for data storage, backup, and disaster-recovery purposes for data that requires limited levels of security, and to meet ad hoc compute-intensive batch-processing and analytics needs that internal data centres would not be able to cater for from a resource or cost-effectiveness point of view. Produced by du
5 The market started with a focus on storage services then moved its attention to compute services. Now network issues in terms of bandwidth, latency, response time, and throughput are becoming more prominent because they prevent a lot of applications from being moved to the cloud. Vendors address this via a variety of technologies such as content and application-delivery networks, WAN optimisation, or a move from Internet to MPLS network technology, to deliver the end-to-end SLAs that enterprises are asking for. The rise of cheap IaaS-based analytics-centric services is currently boosting the businessintelligence sector. The economic arguments, for and against IaaS Amazon has become the yardstick by which every other IaaS offering is measured. IaaS providers define their pricing strategy against Amazon s. A wide ecosystem is expanding around it, with independent software vendors (ISVs), for example, keen to: add value on top of it. use it as a new software delivery channel. build a business on top of it. Most cloud strategies have an initial focus on cost reduction or improved cost efficiencies. In fact, cost savings are now often an explicit and definite objective. Many organisations are strengthening benefit realisation processes that increase executive accountability for cost-saving targets and this is flowing through to an increasing interest in cloud computing. With about 50% of IT budgets dedicated to infrastructure acquisition and management, IaaS could represent a significant source of savings. Clouds reduce not only the cost and pain, but also the risk, of using IT assets. This is certainly the case for IaaS, with its pay-as-you-go approach to pricing and licensing, than for SaaS (software as a service like Salesforce.com or enterprise versions of Google Apps), which favours the less flexible subscription approach. IaaS has a usage-based/metered approach with no long-term commitment or contract and the ability to scale usage up or down on demand. IaaS service providers do not penalise users if their level of usage changes, which allows users to do away with capacity planning. (However, this will require internal controls to ensure that users do not go overboard.)
6 It makes it easier not just to use IaaS services, but to: Meet unpredictable demand: the ability to do this cost-effectively and with an acceptable QoS is, according to some, the key value that public clouds bring to the IT table. Innovate: supporting innovation is not only one of the two main challenges facing IT today (besides cutting costs), but also the most important. Therefore, many enterprises consider this flexibility to be more important than the cost savings enabled by public clouds. Top IaaS offerings relative business advantages (Source: Cisco) SLA Requirement Business Continuity (Disaster Recovery) High IO / Cloud Burst End Customer Value Compute as a Service Virtual Desktop VDI DevTest Quality Assurance Environment The balance of risk versus cost Infrastructure Utilisation Research produced for Cisco suggests that IaaS services offers are already proving attractive to both service providers and enterprise customers. Notably, business continuity and disaster recovery represents a low-risk service for the first adopter (since they still own primary infrastructure) and for the service provider, it offers a high-value service. Persuading senior executives to loosen purse strings and spend scarce resource to improve data backup and disaster recovery, for instance, can be difficult, because that spending will subtract directly from company profits. This is frustrating for CIOs and IT staff, especially as they are the people who will be responsible for fire-fighting to recover data and applications after a major data loss or disaster. After such an event, the ability to say that the company should have heeded their calls for more spending on backup and disaster recovery will be of little value, and will make nobody happy. There is a strong case to be made here for IaaS. Spending on backup or disaster recovery only delivers a return on investment when there is a data loss or disaster. Even then, the return is only to keep an application or organisation afloat. Those two facts invalidate standard return on investment (ROI) calculations. However, value in return for cost must still underpin all decisions about spending on backup and disaster recovery. The fundamental decision is about the balance between the level of protection, and the cost of achieving it. While there are technical considerations, ultimately that is a business decision. Produced by du
7 Choosing the balance between cost and level of protection will be based on an estimate of the financial impact of data losses or application outages. Although this estimate should be framed in the IT terms of recovery point objective (RPO) and recovery time objective (RTO), it is a business calculation, which can only be completed by application owners or lines of business chiefs. This will not only perform the essential step of quantifying the penalty suffered after data loss or application outage; it will also encourage non-it staff to fully appreciate the need to spend money on data protection. Business chiefs should also estimate the financial impact of data loss or application outages for at least one set of RPOs and RTOs, and ideally for a handful of different RPOs and RTOs. As well as giving the IT department a better understanding of the impact of outages, performing this calculation for multiple pairs of RPO and RTO values will help non-it business managers to understand the differences between levels of protection. Similarly, businesses should estimate the impact of total site outage or disasters. An organisation that has no idea of how it would operate after a disaster is flying blind. Exactly as for data backup, asking business chiefs to quantify the impact of a disaster will sharpen their focus on the issue. While non-it management should make the ultimate decisions about the balance of cost and risk or levels of data and disaster protection, decisions about how best to achieve that balance are in the domain of the IT department. This requires an analysis of the costs and benefits of continuing with existing in-house systems, or switching to an online or cloud backup service. The line items should include: 1. IT staff hours managing backups, within data centres and remote offices 2. IT staff hours handling requests for data recovery 3. software maintenance and renewal costs 4. hardware maintenance and depreciation costs 5. hardware space, power, and cooling requirements 6. tape media costs 7. offsite tape storage costs, as applicable 8. offsite data replication, as applicable 9. disaster recovery colocation costs, as applicable. IaaS stacks up well against this. Any changes in data protection levels achieved by switching to cloud-based IaaS backup may affect operational costs and productivity for non-it staff, it has to be said, because it may alter the time taken to wait for data recoveries. And those changes should be estimated. But there is a strong financial case for IaaS-based backup or disaster recovery. Charges for online backup services vary widely, beginning from around $0.25GB per month for basic services suitable for small organisations or remote offices. Comparisons of costs between services need to account also for the following factors: Charging is commonly based on the volume of the backup copies of data after compression and data-deduplication but sometimes can be based on the volume of the original data.
8 Charges may include fees for recovery of data beyond specific monthly limits on data volume, and these are more likely for enterprise services. Seeding or reverse-seeding the shipment of data on physical media at the beginning of a service contract, or for recovery of large data volumes carries varying charges. Business of all sizes are recommended to carry out an assessment of Iaas-based backup or disaster recovery. The Pros and Cons of IaaS-based Back up Model Example suppliers Pros Cons Existing backup tools linked to service providers Symantec, EMC, CommVault, Acronis Ease of implementation Strong backup features, e.g. granular recovery, applicationlevel backups Reduced lock-in Ineffective de-duplication may cause heavy usage of bandwidth and cloud storage Existing backup tools linked to public clouds via gateways StorSimple, Panzura, Riverbed, Ctera Ease of implementation Ability to also use gateway for primary data storage Ineffective de-duplication may cause heavy usage of bandwidth and cloud storage SaaS backup Autonomy, EVault, IBM, HP and various service providers Low management overhead Ability to switch between providers that use the same software platform Option to license software for in-house use Need to replace existing backup systems Bandwidth reduction may also be an issue Summary View Moving ahead with cloud as part of an enterprise IT strategy, including something as relatively core as IaaS offerings, is neither as difficult as it may sound nor as easy as some vendors would lead customers to believe. Customers that have existing contracts or prior experience with specific service providers will naturally gravitate toward investigating their cloud services, and their preferred local telco supplier is a very good place to start.

Killeen Daily Herald
Normally, a 65th birthday marks retirement age but, for Fort Hood, today's celebration comes during one of the busiest times since the post was established.
From its beginning as a small Army training camp on Sept. 18, 1942, Fort Hood has grown to become the largest active-duty armored post in the United States. It is the only post capable of supporting two full armored divisions.
Known as "The Great Place," the post's population is estimated at 71,000, of which almost 42,000 are soldiers. Currently, more than 18,000 Fort Hood soldiers are deployed to Iraq.
Through the years, service members and their families have been strongly supported by the post's neighboring communities of Killeen and Copperas Cove. Both have played a significant role in the development of the post.
"I remember my grandfather talking about moving off the land for Fort Hood," said Copperas Cove resident Les Ledger, whose family has been in the area since 1854. "Although it was a sad time, he always said 'If giving up our land saves one American boy's life, then it is worth it.'"
The younger Ledger added that Fort Hood has always been a good neighbor to Copperas Cove, with soldiers from the post going so far as to bring help when a Ledger family home was in danger of catching fire.
"We didn't have much of a fire department at the time and, when our yard caught fire, Robert Gray sent a huge truck to help us fight the fire," Ledger said.
Today, Robert Gray Army Airfield is located at West Fort Hood and is named for Captain Robert M. Gray, a member of the United States Army Air Corps and a Killeen native. Gray sent assistance to the Ledger family.
"Fort Hood has brought many wonderful people here, people who have become citizens of Copperas Cove and Killeen. If not for the base," Ledger said, "I would never have met my bride, Linda. Her father was transferred here from Fort Polk, La. Nor would my sister Marky have met her husband," Ledger said.
"Some people who lost their land really had a hard time with it," he added, "but our family has always been treated well by the military, and I only remember great events, and great people."
The first time Copperas Cove resident Ivor McKay saw what is now Fort Hood, it was nothing more than a few tents surrounded by rolling hills. Now, more than 60 years later, McKay is a retired lieutenant colonel who continues to support the post he watched grow up.
Born in Glasgow, Scotland, McKay joined the United States Army as a private in 1939. Stationed at Camp Brownwood, McKay and his fellow soldiers traveled to the new training facility near Killeen with a platoon of tank trucks, expecting to be in the area for just one day.
"We drove down Tank Destroyer Boulevard, which used to be a main highway," McKay said. "There was nothing here but a bunch of tents and we ended up getting orders to stay."
The following day, McKay said, the flag was raised and they called the area Camp Hood. "When we drove through Copperas Cove that first time, it was nothing more than cotton gins and a railroad station," he said.
Throughout his military career, which spanned more than 29 years, McKay was stationed at Fort Hood several times. "I've watched Fort Hood grow from a tent camp to what it is today. That makes it different, makes it special," he said.
Attached to the 1st Cavalry Division while serving in Korea, McKay continues to support the unit.
"I go to every 1st Cavalry ceremony that I can," he said. "If one of the units asks me, I'll go out there and talk to the troops."
When 1st Cavalry troops began returning home from the first Iraq deployment, McKay was one of the faces nearly every soldier saw when they stepped off the bus.
"I'm very proud of the fact that out of all the homecomings from Iraq, I only missed three ceremonies," McKay said. "And those three were flights that came in at around 2 a.m." McKay retired from active duty in 1968 but still considers himself a soldier.
"It gets in your blood and there's nothing you can do to change it," McKay said. "It's who I am."
Ledger and McKay are part of the post's history, which is part of the Army's history.
According to globalsecurity.com, Fort Hood was named after John Bell Hood. A famous Confederate Army general during the Civil War, Hood gained recognition as the commander of the Texas Brigade. In 1861, Hood resigned his commission in the Union Army to join the Confederate Army, where he started out as a first lieutenant in the cavalry. He made rapid progress and, in May of 1862, he was made a brigadier general.
Hood and his men rewrote the song "Yellow Rose of Texas" and part of the new words were "The gallant Hood of Texas played hell in Tennessee."
As a result of wounds received in the battle of Chickamauga, Hood lost his right leg. Undaunted, he strapped himself into his horse's saddle and continued leading his troops. Confederate Army Gen. Robert E. Lee relieved Hood of his command after Hood refused to turn over ambulances his soldiers captured during the second battle at Manassas, Va., which was known as Bull Run by the Union Army.
Hood wanted to keep the ambulances for his soldiers, who demonstrated their displeasure over the decision to relieve Hood. Lee wound up reinstating Hood. However, Lee stipulated that Hood had to apologize. Hood never did. After the war was over, John Hood moved to New Orleans.
"It's an honor to be associated with his legacy as he holds a distinctive position as an important figure in American military history," said O.C. Hood, great-great nephew of the late John Bell Hood.
"Having never been to the base, I've not had the opportunity of experiencing that tribute to his memory "on the ground," so to speak, but I've heard from someone who has, that the respect shown him at Fort Hood is genuine.
"That alone is a comfort to me, knowing that his memory will not only be perpetuated, but honored as well. I've always admired how the United States military honors its soldier's legacies," O.C. Hood said.

A Place for MakersVisit Site
Philadelphia is home to America's original makers. Inspired by the city's historically inventive spirit, we created Forge Conference – a one-day event for the digital innovators that thrive here.
On September 26, 2016, designers, developers, and product managers came together to hear from innovators who test the limits of the digital space at Buzzfeed, Uber, Etsy, The New York Times, and more.
We don't all get it right 100% of the time, but we never stop trying. Forge isn't about talking about the latest tech or techniques (again), its a place to share real stories and the lessons learned.
Nearly 300 attendees brought their curiosity, along with their appetites for good food and a good time, to the event because Forge Conference was much more than just a conference.
Our third annual event was a great success, but don't take our word for it. Hear it from conference attendees and speakers.
Building on the support and feedback from attendees and speakers, Forge Conference is committed to continuing our celebration of digital innovation as the city's premier UX and product design event.

While the outside of the pen makes an impression with others, it is the refill that makes it special for you. Our .7mm roller ball refills glide on the paper surface making them great for writing, expressing ideas and drawing. Our .1mm ballpoint pens have been known to actually improve penmanship; although it is hardly the only reason to love them. They are simply so reliable and consistent through the stroke that the "inside scoop" might just be the refill itself!
Both Roller Ball and Ballpoint refills are each available in Black and Blue.

Mountain Valley Youth Football League is the premier
youth league in the area. Teams in the league
include Boonsboro, Brunswick, Catoctin,
Francis Scott Key, Frederick,
Gamber-Smallwood, Mt. Airy, North Hagerstown, South Hagerstown, Tuscarora and Walkersville.
Middletown Football is all about Commitment, Teamwork,
and Discipline. Throughout the season the players
learn what that all means on a football field and
hopefully can translate that lesson into the rest of
their lives.
Directions to all MVYFL field locations can be found
MVAA football and the MHS
football program continue to work together.
Additional information for the High School program can
be found at the following link:
Flag Head Coach
- Todd King
Mini-Pony Head
Coach - Steve Banovic
Pony Head Coach - Bill Poffenbarger
Junior Varsity
Head Coach - Brian Moore
Coach Moore is in his fifth year with
the MVAA Football Program and fourth year as the head
coach at the junior varsity (J.V.) level. Coach Moore
brings a wealth of football knowledge to our program.
His experience as a collegiate football player (Cal
Poly-1980-85) and professional football player (S.F.
49ers-1985) has added in-depth knowledge of offensive
and defensive linemen techniques. Coach Moore's
philosophy in coaching youth athletes is not necessarily
measured by wins and losses, but rather producing young
leaders who exhibit discipline, commitment, respect, and
show the initiative to excel, both on and off the field.
Coach Moore is fortunate to have two well-seasoned,
knowledgeable football coaches in Dan Coleman, as the
offensive coordinator, and Scott Farrow, as the
defensive coordinator. Coaches Coleman and Farrow
have numerous years coaching MVAA football.
Varsity Head Coach - Tom Evich
Assistant Head Coach - Scott
Coach Evich returns for his 11th
consecutive year as varsity head coach. His coaching
experience with the varsity dates back to 1993 when he
served as an assistant coach to his current offensive
coordinator�Scott Stottlemyer. Coaches Evich and
Stottlemyer have over 25 years combined MVAA coaching
experience working with 7th and 8th graders to prepare
for the Middletown High School Football Program. They
head up a coaching staff that believes in setting high
standards and inspiring players to live up to them.
This applies both on and off the field. The Varsity
staff will dedicate themselves to provide each player
the instruction and tools to help make them the best
football player he can be and more importantly a more
successful person in life. In addition, an
environment that constantly emphasizes the value of team
and individual humility is what has inspired hundreds of
former MVAA players over the years to graduate into the
ranks of the MHS Football Program and thrive.
Back to Top
The MVAA players
have continued their success at the high school level.
The philosophies and nomenclature utilized in the MVAA
program allow for the gradual and successful succession
to the Middletown High School football program.
Every player in the MVAA program develops the skills and
techniques to help them reach their full potential.
The MVAA competes
in the Mountain Valley Youth Football League (MVYFL).
Our league does not condone unsportsmanlike acts from
coaches or players. We are proud of the fact that
none of the Middletown MVAA football coaches or players
(40 seasons) has ever been cited with an infraction to
the league. We respect the job of the officials
and demand the same of our players. The same
officials employed in MVYFL officiate at the high school
Our primary coaching
positions are filled by those who believe that
success is bred by continuity and consistency. Coaches
are assigned to teams based on the needs of the overall
program, not neccessarily where their son plays.
This in itself inherently provides us an unbiased
evaluation of the talent. The potential of every
player in our program can be tapped to the fullest, void
of personal bias.
Our approach has
been successful. In the 7 years we have
fully implemented the continuity approach to coaching,
the three competitive levels of our program have a
combined record of 181-52-2. We have two MVYFL
Superbowl victories, eight Superbowl runner-ups and 9
Valley Divisional titles.
MHS head varsity
football coach - Coach Lynott has coached within the
MVAA program for the last 5 seasons. Coach Lynott
was also our game time PA announcer. It was not
uncommon to hear our fans praise the excellent job and
commentary provided by Coach Lynott. His guidance
and assistance helps reinforce the MVAA efforts in
preparing our players for high school.
Many of the present MHS
football coaches were former MVAA coaches and/or
First year players
have always contributed to our program's success and
have earned starting positions. Part of the
excitement each year for our coaching staff is not
knowing the potential attributes of a new player.
Time after time, the new players serve a vital role on
all of our teams. It is never too late to start
playing football with the MVAA.
The MVYFL is
comprised of a DI and DII level. The same coaches
coach both the DI and DII teams. Both divisions
practice together and only separate on game day.
The DII Middletown squads adhere to a "must-play"
policy. Playing time at the DII level is afforded
to all of the athletes that practice. MVAA
understands there are commitments that take precedence
over football, including but not limited to family,
scholastic and religious events. These situations
can be handled one on one with the head coach.
We have an 85%
retention rate with MVAA football players.
Year after year, players return to our program with the
desire to become a better player and contributor to
their team. We have found that our program offers
an appealing venue for those wanting to commit to a team
and continue to build the Middletown football
Back to Top
Practice Schedule
First Practice August 1st, 6PM
MVAA Football typically
practices on
Monday, Tuesday and Thursday nights during
the season. This provides our players the
opportunity to watch the high school football teams.
Freshman and JV High School games are typically played
on Wednesdays with Varsity games typically on Friday
MVAA Football History
MVAA football program was formed in 1971 to provide a
feeder program to Middletown High School (MHS). We
would like to thank our parents for their continued
support of the program. The youth football league
existed before there was a high school team. The
premise behind the program was to develop football
players through fundamentals, dedication, confidence and
commitment to their team to prepare them for high school
football. After the start-up of the high school
football program, graduates of the program began giving
back to the community where many grew up. Today,
there are many coaches within the MVAA program who
played MVAA football as well as MHS football.
There are also just as many coaches involved in the MVAA
program that have played and coached for other programs
from other areas of the county and country. Our
program models the high school program and is
coordinating our efforts with the new head coach - Coach
Kevin Lynott.
By virtue of the fact that
our practices and program philosophy are nearly
identical to what is expected at the MHS Program, MVAA
football players have a seamless transition from the
MVAA Program to the MHS Program. Not only are they
well schooled in the same techniques and terminology
used at the next level but most importantly they become
immersed in the mental attitude that is distinctly
Middletown Football.
MVAA Present Day
As our
region has continued to grow, so has the MVAA and MVYFL.
Within our league there are two division levels.
DI is the competitive division and the DII level is
where the players hone the football skills in a
game-like atmosphere. We will be entering
our fourth year with DII representation. The DII teams
are coached by the DI staff making it possible for your
son to advance and benefit from competing with DI
