Council on Firefighter Training www.COFT-Oklahoma.org • 405-601-8862 • fax 405-601-7996 • email firstname.lastname@example.com No LODD's in 2012 - Way to Go! Jon Hansen, COFT Executive Director Greetings Oklahoma Fire Service! ZERO IN LINE OF DUTY DEATHS IN 2012!!!! That's right, our Oklahoma Fire Service did not record a single in line of duty death (LODD) in 2012. Why? Could there be many reasons? Could it be better situational awareness on the fire ground, be it a structure, wildland, vehicle, or other fire situation? Could it be we are trying to increase our heart health and general physical fitness? Could it be we are slowing down a bit and stopping at red lights and stop signs? Could it be that we are using "ICS" more often. Could it be that Safety is a big priority in our training programs? Could it be we are doing a better job of watching out for each other? I certainly don't have all the answers. What I do know is that the Council will continue to be diligent and aggressive when it comes to the Safety and Health of our Firefighters and Citizens! COFT, along with our partners, will continue to make awareness and other measureable safety and health programs out top priority in 2013 and beyond! We all know it could change in a moment. Today, tomorrow or next week. Let's continue to watch out for each other both on and off the fire ground. LAWTON FIRE & EASTERN OKLA-HOMA CARER TECHNOLOGY CENTER GRADUATE RECRUIT CLASES We had the opportunity to attend and issue Master Firefighter Certifications in Lawton, Antlers, and the Eastern Oklahoma County Career Technology Center this past December to new, well-trained firefighters ready to protect their respective communities. In Lawton, while new firefighters check on board, one distinguished member of the LFD announced his retirement. Lawton Fire Chief Bart Hadley will step down soon. Chief Hadley's list of accomplishments is many. The chief will be missed! Good luck and happy hunting Chief! COUNTY WILDLAND TASK FORCE LEADERS TRAINING PROGRAM County Wildland Task Force Leaders recently completed a two-day training program hosted by the Oklahoma Fire Chiefs Association (OFCA), the Department of Forestry, COFT, and the Mustang Fire Department. A wide variety of topics were covered during the well attended the program. We will repeat the class soon. Stand by for the date. ROBOTIC AIRCRAFT FOR PUBLIC SAFETY – RAPS Drones flying over Oklahoma! This exciting program is sponsored the Department of Homeland Security in Washington, DC. Oklahoma was selected as the "beta" test site for the many vendors developing the technology. State Fire Marshal Robert Doke is on the National Steering Committee. COFT and the State Fire Marshals Office had the opportunity to present a program on possible fire service uses at the national demo site close to Elgin, OK. Oklahoma is a leader in drone production. According to projections from the Governors Office, the RAPS program could bring as many as 600 new jobs to our state. More info to follow. COMPANY AND CHIEF OFFICER PROFESIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM It is official!!! The Council, at it's January 18th meeting, adopted the Final Report. It now goes to the Training Task Force for development. We are close to having the best and most creative program in the country! Thanks to each and everyone of you for your continued input, and all who attended one of the many focus groups around the state, and those who took the online survey. As with the 5 Levels of Firefighter, this will be another program for Oklahoma Firefighters, Developed by Oklahoma Firefighters. It will be easy to access and flexible. TRAINING TASK FORCE Please contact us if you would like to become a member of your Training Task Force. We have plenty of exciting programs currently under development. Rehab, Live Fire Training, Wildland, USAR, Incentives and Recognition, Driver /Operator, and Public Fire Safety Education. In closing, I want to congratulate and thank each and every one of you! Zero LODD's is quite an accomplishment. However, we all know how quick that could change! Please continue to watch out for each other. My pledge to you is that COFT will do everything we can to keep you and our citizens out of harms' way! Let's continue to "STOP FIREFIGHTER DEATHS" and be "ALL IN" for Firefighter and Citizen Safety & Survival!!! JON 405-620-6262 email@example.com Awesome Job Oklahoma Firefighters! Encore 2013

You've been up all night working (or partying), and you're hungry. Which are you most likely to grab—a salad, or a slice of pizza? We know, pepperoni and sausage wins every time—and a new study explains why. (Search: Foods that fight fatigue) Researchers at St. Luke's Roosevelt Hospital Center in New York City and the University of California, Berkeley, found that when people were very tired, their brains were more likely to see junk food as a reward and less able to make complex decisions, such as choosing something good to eat.
Foods with Superpowers
What's a man to do? We asked the experts how to eat well even if sleepiness is clouding your decision-making.
Think ahead. "Studies show that your self-control deteriorates over the course of a day, so make as many choices as you can earlier, when you have the most foresight," says Kelly McGonigal, Ph.D., a health psychologist at Stanford University and author of The Willpower Instinct. Pack your meals and snacks before you leave for work. Remove dollar bills that you can use for the vending machine later from your wallet. Make sure you have a healthy snack at home waiting for you when you get back from work.
Snacks You Can Make in Your Own Kitchen
Make a plan. Tell yourself, "Whenever I want junk food, I'll eat a piece of fruit instead." "People who make very specific strategies for how they'll deal with temptation are about two to three times more likely to reach their dietary goals," says psychologist Heidi Grant Halvorson, Ph.D., author of Succeed.
Take a few deep breaths before you bite. "It sounds so simple, but brain imaging studies show that this literally helps shut down your 'reward' center in the face of temptation," says McGonigal. Video: Try one of these 200 calorie snacks
Snack on protein. Part of the reason you crave carbs and sugar when you're tired is because they give your brain an instant energy boost, says psychologist Roy Baumeister, Ph.D., co-author of Willpower. Drink a protein shake instead, and you'll get more long-lasting energy out of it.
Use this free tool to keep track of how much you eat
Create some rules. You're a vegetarian after 5 p.m. You only eat take-out on Fridays. You never eat chocolate. Whatever solves your biggest downfall. "Foods are most tempting when we feel conflicted about eating them—part of us wants to, and part of us doesn't. But when you're committed to a default rule, your brain kind of gives up the battle," says McGonigal.

Question: What role, if any, should the county play in shoreline development?
Eddie Emery's response:
I believe Camden County should continue to play a primary role in shoreline development under the authority of our planning and zoning department. The changes made to the shoreline have an impact on our citizens, landowners and our local business's. Those decisions concerning the development of the shoreline in Camden County need to be made on a local level and by the local officials who represent our citizens and their concerns.
Cliff Luber's response:
The Shoreline Management Plan should be designed to protect and preserve our most valuable resource, our lake. First and foremost, I will continue to work with our Federal officials to ensure FERC (Federal Energy Regulatory Commission) is removed from the SMP. "We The People" should have an absolute seat at the table with the multitude of state and federal agencies (FERC, EPA, DNR, MDC, FWS, P&Z, and more) prior to rules and regulations being implemented that affect our lake and private property rights.
The county must be there to remind all of these agencies that property owners at the LOZ have very different and unique property rights to almost any body of water in the country. It is important to maintain a reasonable balance between the preservation of private property rights and the ever changing demands of the lake.
I have held educational town hall forums with the citizens and Ameren officials. I have worked first hand with lake front homeowners, and personally witnessed their anguish when the July 2011 FERC Order mandated the removal of 4500 homes and structures from the LOZ. While not a lake front property owner myself, this was an unforgettable experience that left an impression upon me. Many of these property owners have owned and paid taxes on their property for decades and are being threatened through no fault of their own. As the 2nd District Camden County Commissioner, I will be a strong advocate for property owners while protecting our lake.
Question: How should the county improve the existing roadways with current funding?
Eddie Emery's response:
Camden County is a very diverse county and the roads are no different. Having worked for the county highway department for 9 years and patrolling the roads as a currant Camden County Deputy Sheriff I am very familiar with our highway system and the problems that exist. Our highway system is made up of both gravel and asphalt surfaced roads. I will address the gravel roads first. The Camden County Highway Department spends a great deal of its revenue routinely grading the gravel roads. Gravel surfaced roads work well but they have their limitations. If it is a highly traveled road the material ends up in the ditch and shortly after the road is graded it's rough again. I feel we have a couple different options on how we can improve the existing gravel roads while cutting cost in the long run. The first is by chip sealing those roads that have the increased traffic. Chip Seal is less expensive than asphalting the road, but just like gravel it has to be maintained on a more regular basis than asphalt. The second option is to asphalt the gravel roads which is more expensive at first but will be less expensive in the long run because you want have the maintenance cost associated with chip seal and or the gravel surface. Now to address our asphalt surfaced roads. I believe our asphalt roads must be inspected annually to ensure the longevity of those roads. Once a road has been inspected and any problems identified we can then determine what coarse of actions needs to take place to resolve those issues. As your second district commissioner I will be familiar with your road situation because I plan to be out there driving those roads while representing the second district.
Page 2 of 2 - Cliff Luber's response:
Several years ago, our Road & Bridge employees' hours were cut to 35 hours due to the recession. Their hours have been restored to 37 hours at this time. Sales tax revenues have slightly increased, and it is time to restore our employees to 40 hours a week to ensure they are in the field restoring our roads. In this continuing recession we need to be good stewards of the tax payers' money. The county needs to be careful when leasing and buying new equipment, as they have in the past two years. The purchase of new equipment diverts from the hiring and retention of good employees, reduces funds for asphalt repairs, and prevents the continued proper application of clay and gravel to our rural roads. It is absolutely imperative that our county roads are properly maintained for the safety of our citizens.
In speaking extensively with Road & Bridge employees, supervisors, I have inquired as how to be more efficient with the current limited resources we have.
I have many questions surrounding the recent purchase of the MODOT property in Montreal with funds taken from the Road & Bridge budget, which could have been used for needed road repairs.
I am committed to restore trust and accountability to our citizens by being prudent with the funds that should be allocated to our county roads. I will make it my priority to begin the rebuilding of our county roads.
*Editors' Note: In an effort to maintain fairness in our election coverage, we contacted all candidates running for the Camden County Sheriff's Department asking them to participate in a series of question and answer articles prior to the November General Election. The Lake Sun did not set a word limit or edit the responses in any way.

The holiday shopping season is here, and customers are poised to spend more than $586 billion on gifts this year—a 4.1 percent increase over last year. But not all of that action is taking place on Black Friday or Cyber Monday, or at the local mall. For smart small businesses whose products have wide appeal, holiday arts and crafts fairs and local flea markets or other outdoor shopping events are great ways to garner additional sales this time of year. To get started, follow these steps. Check out what events your community and...

One of the benefits to building a creditworthy company is that lenders, creditors and suppliers will determine the level of credit risk based on the company's creditworthiness rather than that of the owners. However, there are instances where a lender will require a personal credit check as part of the overall risk assessment. In these cases, it is in the best interest of you, the business owner, to have a positive credit rating with the consumer credit agencies. If credit scores currently fall below 680, then focus on taking positive...

Social media, as with anything new, is sometimes misunderstood. People either overinflate or underestimate the value and importance of it. And that's not the only things they get wrong.

If you're searching for the right franchise to buy, it's important to set some goals. One reason that you're going to want to have some specific goals set up is this: There are over 3,000 franchise opportunities to choose from! With that many choices, it's way too easy to get lost and flounder around aimlessly, trying to find that perfect opportunity. My aim is to make the franchise discovery process as seamless as possible. (Actually, it's my goal.) Goal #1- Budget You need to decide how much you're willing...

Warning: this post is all about the questions. It doesn't include the answers. Asking the right questions is a good first step to getting the answers. Theoretically we should be able to measure the ROI (return on investment) of anything we do in our business. We talk about ROI, and return, and payback when we look at an ad campaign, direct mail, product development, purchasing some big-ticket item. We make assumptions about ROI all the time. But it's not always easy, and our assumptions are not always correct. What about social...

According to Wikipedia an asset can be defined as a resource controlled by an entity as a result of past events and from which future economic benefits are expected to flow to the entity. Many startups rely on the use of personal assets to secure funding for the business. Although money is often tight during the early stages, the goal of a small business owner should be to not only increase sales revenues but to build the company's creditworthiness. In particular, business credit is an asset and considered an economic resource that make...

We learn in grade school that it's not right to copy others, and even as adults we know copying is usually frowned upon. But when it comes to business marketing, there's nothing wrong with being a copycat—in fact, it's downright good business. Looking at how your competitors market themselves can teach you what to do (and what not to do) with your own marketing strategy. Here's how to be a successful marketing copycat. Start by determining your major competitors, and include both big companies and small...

For years now I've thought of business planning in terms of the special case that I call a business plan event. The business plan event is when you have to produce a business plan for some specific business hurdle or gateway. For example, a startup looking for either angel investors or venture capital needs a business plan to give to interested potential investors. And a business applying for commercial credit needs a business plan to present to the loan officer at the bank. Some other business plan events are the sale of a business, a...

Born in New York City on August 25, 1931, famed talk show host Regis Philbin grew up in the Bronx, New York, and attended the University of Notre Dame. He worked on various TV shows and eventually landed the co-hosting gig that would be known as Live with Regis and Kathie Lee, and later Live with Regis and Kelly. Philbin has also hosted the prime-time game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. He retired from morning TV in 2011.
"I had my years of struggling. Some of my shows failed miserably, and I was upset by it and it dented my confidence. But I never stopped. I kept going for it."
"A lot of guys really I get the feeling don't care whether you like their show or not, you know. I want people to enjoy what I do, and understand what I'm doing is for their enjoyment, it's all I can ask for."
Early Career
Regis Francis Xavier Philbin was born on August 25, 1931, in New York City. Part of an Irish Catholic family, Regis Philbin was the eldest son of Frank and Florence Philbin, and grew up in the South Bronx. He was named after his father's alma mater, Regis High School, a Jesuit boys school in Manhattan.
After graduating from Notre Dame in 1953, Philbin served in the U.S. Navy. After his discharge from the military, he began his television career with several entry-level jobs in Hollywood, including a post as a film-delivery man at KCOP-TV in Los Angeles, California.
Philbin got his first big break in the business after he began writing tongue-in-cheek reviews of the station's newcasts and tacking them on up on walls—he was then hired as a news and sports writer. This led to several news and feature reporting jobs in radio and television, and then to anchoring positions. His first talk show, The Regis Philbin Show, on KGTV-TV in San Diego, spawned his now well-known style of "host chat" that has become his trademark. Without money for a writing staff, Philbin began each show sharing his own observations and opinions, and engaging the audience. This led to an Emmy-winning Los Angeles show called Philbin's People in which Philbin and popular personalities discussed current issues.
Talk Show Superstar
Philbin took over hosting duties from Steve Allen at a nationally syndicated late night talk show, and finally gained national exposure in 1967 as the "sidekick" on The Joey Bishop Show. Even though the job was a great a great opportunity for the host, Philbin was very unhappy during this stint. He felt constantly frustrated and humiliated by the show's star, whose jokes were often at Philbin's expense. Philbin then spent seven successful years on A.M. Los Angeles, and won an Emmy for his work on The Regis Philbin Show.
Philbin hosted the morning show Temp on KHJ-TV in Los Angeles for three years, and worked on two game shows for ABC, hosting The Neighbors and reporting for Almost Anything Goes. He also hosted a feature/magazine show for Lifetime Cable Network called Regis Philbin Lifestyles, which eventually became (another) The Regis Philbin Show on prime time.
In 1983, he joined Cindy Garvey on New York City's The Morning Show, but the show did not fare well in the ratings. Garvey was replaced by Kathie Lee Gifford in 1985, and the show was renamed Live! With Regis & Kathie Lee. The duo's on-air chemistry made the show a success, and it became nationally syndicated in 1988. Since starting the show, Philbin has received seven Emmy nominations.

Presented to: Kimberley Heuston
For: Dante's Daughter
Though Dante's Daughter is set in Italy and France in the early 1300s, and depicts a time and culture far removed from the lives of modern youth, it shows that people are the same throughout the ages, that family and home and love are important no matter when or where you live. This is a tender story of a girl who does not ask to be remembered, only to be loved. She is swept along by the choices her parents make until she is finally old enough to make choices of her own. Through all that, she manages to discover and develop her own talents and dreams and to touch the lives of others. Kimberley Heuston's depiction of the life of a young girl who lived centuries ago is fresh and insightful. It resonates with the longings and frustrations of any time period and brings its readers closer to characters that would otherwise be perceived as foreign and inaccessible. History may not say much about the daughter of Dante Alighieri, but Kimberley Heuston gives her readers the chance to love her, and all the other girls no one remembers but who, like Bice, were on the fringes of recorded events where they dreamed their own dreams and found love and loss, just as we do.

Yes, it's that time of year again – absolute heaven for list writers as we try to assemble our favourite albums of the year into a single, ordered list.
We've gone for 50 this time rather than 25, although last year we did name our 'next 25′ (unordered) as well as a further ten that we'd hoped to have listened to more.
We've not done that this time, although we appreciate the futily/ridiculousness of a single man assembling no fewer than 50 pieces of listening pleasure into an order of preference; also the fact that if it had been a different day and different mood, the make-up of this list could have been radically different. But sod it.
Here's a blast through 50-26 with audiovisual context for all these great albums. The next five days will cover 25-1 with a bit more on why the Tidal Wave of Indifference thinks they're so good. Here we go….
50. The Douglas Firs – Happy As a Windless Flag
A fine effort from the Edinburgh act, exemplified by key songs I Will Kill Again and The Shadow Line.
49. The Phoenix Foundation – Buffalo
Who said Kiwis couldn't do dreamy indie?
48. Explosions in the Sky – Take Care, Take Care, Take Care
Perhaps not their best, but their always interesting and epic.
47. Friendly Fires – Pala
A decent fist of following up 2008′s debut. Simple pop songs crammed with hooks.
46. The Antlers – Burst Apart
Again, not in the same league as their amazing debut Hospice, but we've a lot of time for Peter Silberman and his squad.
45. Driver Drive Faster – Open House
Polytechnic weren't great but their key figures regrouped for this lovely slab of indie pop, championed by Marc Riley
44. The Field – Looping State of Mind
Mind-warping German shoegaze techno. Nice.
43. Sparrow and the Workshop – Spitting Daggers
Increased momentum from Jill O'Sullivan and co. Every bit as good as their brace of mini-albums from the past few years.
42. The Kills – Blood Pressures
Their best yet? Unlike Jack White, Alison Mosshart hasn't let the distraction of the Dead Weather get to her.
41. Bibio – Mind Bokeh
Good stuff this, a freaky eclectic album that defied all genres.
40. Dutch Uncles – Cadenza
A more than reasonable attempt at XTC-aping wonk-pop from a young Manchester troupe.
39. United Fruit – Fault Lines
Scotland does Fugazi/Trail of Dead noise. And does it damn well.
38. The Go! Team – Rolling Blackouts
A return to form after a lengthy absence with help from Bethany Best Coast.
37. Elbow – Build A Rocket Boys
They'll never recapture the magic of Asleep in the Back but it was a darned sight better than their dreary 2008 Mercury winner.
36. Mazes – A Thousand Heys
Joyous, scuzzy indie pop that does exactly what it says on the tin.
35. And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead – The Tao of the Dead
A fresh line-up and fresh ambition from the Texans. Big rock songs and proggy madness.
34. Wye Oak – Civilian
Built mainly on two songs – Holy Holy and Dog's Eyes – what songs they were.
33. Lykke Li – Wounded Rhymes
Former pop ingenue took on Jonsí-esque levels of lunacy and created a stunning record of massive tunes.
32. Come on Gang! – Strike a Match
Already much-missed Edinburgh indie-pop three-piece's first – and last – album.
31. Trips and Falls – People Have to Be Told
Tongue-in-cheek pop from Song, by Toad's American imports.
30. Adam Stafford – Build A Harbour Immediately
Very much a slow burner. We were unconvinced after his album launch but repeated listens saw this shoot up in our opinion and we're now converts to his live show too.
29. Kurt Vile – Smoke Ring for My Halo
Sleepy, stoned stuff from the prolific singer-songwriter.
28. Kate Bush – Fifty Words for Snow
Utterly, utterly baffling. Stephen Fry naming (oh yes) fifty words for snow, a song about shagging a snowman and a rare occasion where an Elton John guest appearance enhances, rather than ruins, a song.
27. The Horrors – Skying
The NME still love them, and this is some rare common ground for ourseleves and the increasingly childish music weekly. Where shoegaze meets garage meets dream pop.
26. Low – C'mon
Probably their best album in three years, this was short, sharp and bloody great.

For Immediate Release
Chicago, IL – April 24, 2012 – Four free stock picks are being made available today on Zacks.com. The industry's leading independent research firm highlights one Zacks #1 Rank Strong Buy or a Zacks #2 Rank Buy stock for each of the four main styles of investing: Aggressive Growth, Growth & Income, Momentum, and Value.
The four highlighted picks are: Valmont Industries ( VMI), WD-40 Company ( (WDFC - Snapshot Report)), Sonic Automotive ( SAH) and Banco Latinoamericano de Comercio Exterior, S.A. ( BLX).
Today, Zacks is promoting its ''Buy'' stock recommendations. Four daily picks are offered free. http://at.zacks.com/?id=88
From 1988 through the present – a period that included serious corrections and recessions – the Zacks #1 Rank Stocks have nearly tripled the market with a fully documented average gain of +28% per year.
Here is a summary of today's selected stocks that are now highly rated by Zacks:
Aggressive Growth – Valmont Industries ( VMI)
Valmont Industries is a Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) following six straight positive earnings surprises and higher earnings estimates.
Zacks Guide to Aggressive Growth Investing (free!) - http://at.zacks.com/?id=4309
Growth & Income – WD-40 Company ( (WDFC - Snapshot Report))
Estimates have been rising for WD-40 Company after the company beat the Zacks Consensus Estimates on both the top and bottom lines, and management provided 2012 guidance above consensus.
Zacks Guide to Growth & Income Investing (free!) - http://at.zacks.com/?id=4310
Momentum – Sonic Automotive ( SAH)
Rarely will a stock that misses earnings estimates be selected as a momentum rank-buy; but given the details of the report, Sonic may have upside from these levels.
Zacks Guide to Momentum Investing (free!): http://at.zacks.com/?id=4311
Value – Banco Latinoamericano de Comercio Exterior, S.A. ( BLX)
The Latin American banks look intriguing despite the chaos going on in Europe. Banco Latinoamericano de Comercio Exterior, S.A. recently reported first quarter results and easily blew by the Zacks Consensus Estimate. This Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) is also an attractive value stock, with a forward P/E of just 9.2.
Zacks Guide to Value Investing (free!) - http://at.zacks.com/?id=4312
How to Regularly Access Top Zacks Rank Picks for Free - http://at.zacks.com/?id=7154
Underlying the four free stock picks is a simple truth that first appeared in a Financial Analysts Journal article published in 1979. Leonard Zacks, a Ph.D. from M.I.T. found that "earnings estimate revisions are the most powerful force impacting stock prices." Zacks #1 Rank is awarded to a stock when analysts sharply upgrade their estimates of what the company will earn.
Today, Zacks is promoting its stock recommendations by offering four daily picks free to those who register here: http://at.zacks.com/?id=7155

whizzing through the WIPS
I'm digressing...a cat can have that effect on me.
I wanted to show you this....
I spent last night quilting it, simply, just in the ditch. I trimmed it down, tidied it up....
and now I've sewn the binding on. Tonight's TV task will be stitching it on to the back. And trying not to sit at a funny angle, because my back is hurting from sewing the binding on to the rocket quilt.
And once that is done it's on to another WIP. My quilt blocks from the sewconnected2 quilting bee need to be turned into a quilt for my bedroom. I was going to sash them, but I rather like how they look all together. I have the border fabric sorted, and I think I've settled on the layout. Maybe 2 borders would be nice. I want it to be quite busy, so once I've sewn the blocks together I can decide which 2 fabrics for the border and corner stones. And then I'll send it off to Christine to quilt it. I might go all out and have it custom quilted rather than one all over design. We'll see. Christine is the wise one, I'll let her decide what looks best.
My sis in law has found out she's having a little baby girl, so it looks like the liberty prints will be turned into something quilty after all. Hooray.

*sigh* Kiddie wanted a white cat when we got our 2 but we were told they are hard to come by and usually blind/deaf/deforemd in some way. Nice!
Loving the quilts. Wish I could get motivated to finish quilting my hexagons but they are such a PITA!! Wish I'd random randon lines or something NOT in the ditch. Grr.

ooooh! I love how you're putting the sampler blocks together without sashing - it makes it look so old and rich. I'm going to try that next - huh, I guess that means I'll have to make another sampler :-)

Another cute quilt. How do you whip through these so quickly Katy? Where does one send a quilt off to get quilted. That doesn't sound right does it!? I must make my daughter's quilt before she's old enough to leave home and resent me forever for making too many things for other people instead of her ;) If I could get that end hard part done elsewhere it might spur me on. Please tell me Katy, the quilting goddess.

South Sound: The Point Defiance Boathouse Marina staff reports that fishing in the area has been slow. Trolling with flasher and spoon or hoochies and a lot of patience is likely your best bet.
Fly-fishing: Blake Merwin of the Gig Harbor Fly Shop said, "Resident coho fishing in the South Sound is great right now. Fish are 10-17 inches, numerous and hungry for the fly." Merwin recommends the following flies: IP Euphasid, Gary's Euphasid, Sili Shrimp, pink/white Marabou Clousers, chartreuse/white Marabou Clousers or Cerise Lite Brite Clousers.
Razor clams: The next digs scheduled for the Washington coast are Jan. 8-14 at Twin Harbors, Jan.10-12 at Long Beach and Copalis, and Jan. 11-12 at Mocrocks.
Crabbing: Puget Sound closed for crabbing on Monday. Winter catch reports are due Feb. 1. Reports are required to be filed even for those who did not catch any crab.
North Sound: Reports indicate fishing has been good around the San Juan Islands.
American: Mike Barr of Bill's Boathouse says there are big, beautiful fish biting on the lake if you are willing to put in the work. Most recently for him, it took two hours before he caught a large trout that wiggled off the hook just as his friend attempted to scoop it up with a net.
He says the weather is nice but cold, resulting in few anglers staying longer than 30 minutes.
Barr recommends a 6-foot leader with Power Eggs and half-ounce sinker. He cast out about 50 feet and slowly reels it in, getting the most bites about 20-30 feet off the dock.
Washington: The most recent report on washingtonlakes.com indicates that action it slow but that some small cutthroat are biting.
Bogachiel: Bob Gooding of Olympic Sporting Goods in Forks says the action has been up and down "but not smoking hot." Said Gooding: "You have a shot at having a good day, a shot at having a bad day and better shot at having an average day."
Columbia: As of Tuesday anglers on part of the river are required to use barbless hooks while fishing for salmon, steelhead and cutthroat. The rule applies to the section between the mouth (including the north jetty) to the Washington-Oregon state border 17 miles upstream from McNary Dam.
Cowlitz: Some anglers have been rewarded for putting in their time.
Sol Duc: Fish are starting to show, Gooding said. "People are catching fish, but you have to put in the work," he said.
Skykomish: The action has been slower than usual of late.

The Cameron Yoe High School senior is a straight "A" student, and is currently ranked number three in his class.
Zach is a member of the football, baseball, and track teams. He was State Finalists and Honorable Mention Selection in football, and he was also a member of the 2011 State Champion Yoe baseball team.
Zach is the Student Council secretary, and a member of the National Honor Society, Interact Club, and the Leadership Council in football. Academically, Zach has won the Spanish 2 and 3 awards, and the Presidential Academic Achievement Gold Award. He was also a People to People Ambassador and Who's Who nominee.
"Within the classroom Zach is definitely a leader and role model to the people around him. I know that because of his positive attitude that he'll often spread with the people by. It's infectious! But by his calm demeanor, he really influences people around him to stay positive, to keep trying, and to keep working. I know with our homework assignments in AP Calculus, they can get rough. And my students I expect a lot of them. He doesn't come up with excuses. He finishes his assignments and he encourages his friends and the people around him to do the same.", Marc Jones, AP Calculus Instructor
"Zach is a great kid. He's the type of kid that every coach enjoys coaching. He's going to take care of his business in the classroom. He's going to get the work that he needs to on the field. He's the kind of guy after a workout, he'll come to get an extra lift in. He's going to do whatever it takes to be successful. He's a very, very positive kid. When I first got here four years ago, he and his brother were the first kids that I noticed. Because of their work ethic and how well they took care of things.", Rick Rhoades, Head Football Coach
"Being a scholar athlete can be easy sometimes, but it can definitely be hard. Because, sometimes we don't get off the field until 7:15; getting out the field house at 7:30. So you get home and have a bunch of homework…You just got to get through it and be ready for the next day. Our main goal is definitely to leave an impact on the community around here, and do the best we can throughout the season. Hopefully carrying for a long season…Hopefully playing in December.", Zach Riloa, Cameron Yoe High School Senior
Zach plans on attending Baylor University and majoring in business.
Congratulations to Zach Riola of Cameron Yoe High School. This week's News 3 Sports Classroom Champion!

A Little Something About Your Cheerleaders

I wrote a post about this a while back and decided this was my calling in life. I've always been a cheerleader, always on the side lines, but we ALL need a cheerleader in our life don't we? When it seems so insignificant it isn't 'really'.
Oh, and you are a hot momma in this picture, just sayin'.... - October 15, 2011 at 9:54 AM

I can always count on my husband, my mom, and several of my friends. . .what blessings they are! And so I try to be a cheerleader for others as well.

I have a cheerleader named Amy. She is amazing support to me.
Right after the loss of my precious Mama, I had an anonymous cheerleader. I started getting hand-written postcards in the mail. I think there were 18 of them in all. They were beautifully made out of scrap-booking style card stock and always had an inspiring Bible verse or quote on them. Amy thinks she knows who it is, but she isn't telling. Evidently she has received some of those postcards in the past. I think I'm going to have to start doing things like that. :) - October 15, 2011 at 3:47 PM

This post went in an entirely different direction than I first thought it was going to...As soon as I read the word cheerleader, I thought of your very first couples/marriage devotional. I don't think you made it past the first page because the first thing it told you was that your job was to be Shane's cheerleader. HA! That was soo funny.
In all sincerity (and I know this isn't why you wrote this post) you have been one of my biggest cheerleaders--- and for that I am so grateful! - October 15, 2011 at 3:48 PM

I didn't answer my questions: My top cheerleaders? My hubby, mom, Lori, Laura, and Renee.
I love the card idea. I'm going to have to email you about that one.
Always love your visits. I wish I could be a cheerleader who lived a little closer! - October 16, 2011 at 7:46 AM

Yes, I do! Thank you for reminding me to cheer them on more.

I used to have a cheerleader. But he quit on me. My mom has always been a cheerleader, but I lost her just 10 days ago.
So, I'm taking applications ! - October 16, 2011 at 11:55 PM

Oh, David....I am so so sorry for your losses. May you feel the Lord's peace.
I am so blessed to have many people who cheer me on and one in particular that cheers me on to only do the things God has called me to do! - October 17, 2011 at 9:11 AM

My cheerleaders seem to be so few in my life, but I am constantly cheered on and supported by my husband. He is such a strong, loving, stable source of love and encouragement in my life. I also have cheerleaders in my daughter, my sisters, and my Mom. What would we do without them? Thanks, Amy, for calling our attention and appreciation to those who lift others up. It is such an everyday needed ministry.

Mom...always mom 'the greatest cheerleader'--in two days it would have been her 70th birthday, two of her sisters especially have sought to fill her shoes encouraging and I am so thankful for them. one who gave me priceless encouragement about '31 Days to His Heart'...God is so, so good to me!

I have a friend named Rachel who's an amazing cheerleader. I started teaching Sun. school last weekend. She came to my church and attended my class just because she knows she makes me brave. I didn't know she was coming and still tear up everytime I think about it. What an incredible friend!
My mom's an awesome cheerleader, too. - October 19, 2011 at 9:22 PM

Hi Amy, I love this post - it reminds me to be thankful for the cheerleaders I have, usually quiet encouragers. But also encourages me to be like them and do the same for others :)

The file names read The Dresden Files - S01E01 - Birds of a Feather.sdtv.avi. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that the usual naming convention? Seems the skin isn't picking it up at all. I don't have any HDTV tagged episodes, but I can confirm that the source is working for DVD movies.
On that same note, when an MKV file is marked with sddvd, bluray, or hddvd, an additional DVD-rip image is overlayed on top of the source image. I noticed this bug in your old skin; it seems it's carried over.
And a font/placement bug:
Thanks for all your effort!
I will fix the flagging issues tonight. It always has gone off of the filename, but I wanted to add a fall back for those who have never done that. I had it read the videoresolution and put in sdtv if it was 480 or 540 and hdtv if it was 720 or 1080, but it would only do that if there was not filename of sdtv, hdtv, sddvd, bluray, or hddvd. I must have typed something in wrong because I had it working in a previous test version.
I will fix the mkv issue as well. On my system they are all bluray or hdddvd, so I always had it set up differently. Very easy fix.
The font issue on PanelPlex is strange. I have had numerous people test it now and that is the first one I have seen that way. What revision are you on and do you have the font set on aeon_fixed?
