Black on black usually seems impossible to pull off, but this woman's incredibly chic outfit is to die for! She used a tight fitting dress with sheer panels and a structured blazer to add contrast. The sheer panels are very intriguing, and the small details such as the chain bag and over-the-knee high boots are the icing on the cake to this well thought-out outfit. Take a risk and wear this during the day like her and you will for sure get noticed. Thankfully the pieces in this outfit are easy to find and alternate choices are available at DJPremium.com! To re-create this look, try this LaROK bodycon dress, MinkPink sequined black blazer, Tom Ford sunglasses, Rock & Republic boots, and Pour La Victoire bag.

Sequins for most girls can present a serious wardrobe dilemma. What do I wear this with? Is it too much? Does it look like I'm trying too hard?
Thankfully sequins have found a niche in the trending "less is more" approach to dress, being paired with neutral knits and an overall muted color palette to put to rest any of your concerns.
We've taking some notes from fashionistas like Taylor Tomasi Hill (shown above), who've managed to make sequins look more effortless than you could have ever imagined possible.
We love the way the mixing of proportions and fabrics balance out the texture and sheen of her sequined skirt.
Up for the challenge? Our favorite brands LaROK, Evil Twin, Mink Pink, BCBG and Plastic Island are here to back you up!

Desperately need to up the ante on your shoe game?

If the patient had sued then malpractice coverage would help. - Sep 16 by Phoenix2541Thanks again for all the wonderful advice. I have contacted legal aid in Fl. Now there is the sticky matter of the would you rehire this employee? I am hoping I won't run into any issue with it.

Totally off topic, but you brought it up. Ever seen the pictures of the vagina and groin area of the woman who spilled McDonald's coffee on herself? The coffee was Not. Drinkable. Caused third degree burns. Totally negligent to heat coffee to that temperature (to save a buck, mind you) and serve it through a drive thru window. It's not a matter of "coffee's hot." I encourage people who know nothing about that lawsuit to do some research on it if you're going to use it in your daily life as a debate point. Maybe watch the documentary "Hot Coffee" available on Netflix. The pictures are less than 30 minutes into the movie.wooh likes this. - Sep 17 by Kidrn911I find if interesting that people say housekeepjng does not do patient care.

In Baden-Powell Council we currently have a limit of five merit badges per counselor. (In light of Chris Haggerty's quote from the new version of the Advancement Guidelines, this will have to be reconsidered at our next meeting.) Any counselor who wishes to counsel more than five subjects must apply to the Council Advancement Committee for an exception. We have some counselors who handle far more than five subjects. The purpose of the restriction is to avoid cases where a Scout shows up for his Eagle Board of Review with 21 merit badges which were counseled by his parents. The Scout is being shortchanged if he does not have the opportunity to have contact with others in the community. The new guidelines, obviously, disagree with that statement and we have some homework to do on this. Thanks for bringing the question up; this will help our council stay up to date also.

Nouveau NV50 KMS Work Continues
Posted by
Michael Larabel
on 06 July 2008 09:56 AM EDT
Late last month we reported on
Nouveau Kernel-Based Mode-Setting Support
(or KMS for short) for the NVIDIA GeForce 8 series graphics cards. This kernel mode-setting support isn't perfect (yet) and lacks support for several features, but it's continued to progress since we first mentioned this support on the horizon. Over the past few days there have been several more NV50 (GeForce 8) kernel mode-setting commits. NV50 KMS now supports gamma changes, unaccelerated rotation support, auto detection of kernel mode-setting when active, output DPMS, and other changes. If you're interested in trying out this initial Nouveau kernel mode-setting support, checkout the xf86-video-nouveau driver from its git repository. For more information on KMS, checkout our

'Corky Romano" continues the "Saturday Night Live" Jinx, which in recent years has frustrated the talented members of the TV program in their efforts to make watchable movies. It's a desperately unfunny gangster spoof, starring Chris Kattan as the kid brother in a Mafia family, so trusting and naive he really does believe his father is in the landscaping business.
This is the third time the jinx has claimed Kattan as a victim, after "A Night at the Roxbury" (1998) and this year's "Monkey Bone," two films that will be among the first to go when Blockbuster destroys 25 percent of its VHS tape inventory, and will not be leading the chain's list of DVD replacement titles.
Now, when I use the words "desperately unfunny," what do I mean? Consider one of Corky's earlier scenes, where we see him as an assistant veterinarian. Clumsy beyond belief, he knocks over everything in a room full of ailing animals, and a snake crawls up his pants and eventually, inevitably, emerges from his fly.
I submit as a general principle that it is not funny when a clumsy person knocks over everything in a room. The choreography makes it obvious that the character, in one way or another, is deliberately careening from one collision to another. It always looks deliberate. Indeed, it looks like a deliberate attempt to force laughs stead of building them. One movie where it does work is in "The Mummy," where Rachel Weisz knocks over a bookcase and a whole library tumbles over, domino-style. But there, an original accident builds and builds beyond her control; Corky Romano's approach would be to reel around the room knocking over every bookcase individually.
In the movie, Corky's father is played by Peter Falk. True, Falk is one of the first guys you'd think of for the role, but they should have kept thinking. He has played similar roles so many times that he can sleepwalk through his dialogue; a completely unexpected casting choice might have been funnier. Corky has two very tough brothers (Peter Berg, Chris Penn) who doubt their father's plan, which is that the youngest son should infiltrate the FBI in order to destroy the evidence against the old man.
That brings Corky into contact with Howard Schuster (Richard Roundtree), the local FBI chief, who is given the thankless comic task of never knowing more than he needs to know in order to make the wrong decision. There's also Vinessa Shaw as an FBI agent who goes undercover as a sexy nurse. Or maybe she's a sexy agent who goes undercover as a nurse. Such a thin line separates the two concepts.
"Corky Romano" is like a dead zone of comedy. The concept is exhausted, the ideas are tired, the physical gags are routine, the story is labored, the actors look like they can barely contain their doubts about the project.

The campaign to disprove the "short Canada" crowd carries on as economists take increasing pride in pointing out the Canadian economy is not headed off a cliff.
Citing strong third-quarter bank earnings released last week and a housing market that continues to defy doomsayer expectations, the pro-Canada side is claiming victory, so far.
"The deafening silence you hear … is the sound of the short-Canada crowd gone quiet," says BMO Capital Markets senior economist Robert Kavcic in a recent note.
The battle heated up in the spring when the net value of short positions against the Canadian dollar hit a record. At the same time, high-profile U.S.-based hedge fund managers were talking up their decisions to short Canadian banks, predicting a drop in profits based on a suspected plunge in Canada's housing market.
The short sellers make money by borrowing an investment they expect to drop in price, then buying it back at a lower price.
That strategy sent a handful of Canadian economists and investors to the front lines armed with data that Canada's economy was doing just fine – in fact better than the U.S.
Robust earnings from Canadian banks last week and data showing the housing market is still hot, despite tighter mortgage insurance rules imposed last year, are added ammunition.
"We've already documented at length how Canada's housing market — the focus of the bears' finger pointing — has absorbed last year's round of mortgage rule tightening, with sales and prices pushing higher through the spring," says Kavcic.
Strong financial results from the banks also pushed the Canadian bank index to a record high, Kavcic noted, "with the sector now even outperforming its much more celebrated U.S. counterpart since early July."
Canadian stock have also performed well, driven by strong energy prices, which are helping to keep the Canadian dollar at around 95 cents (US), while currencies in emerging markets such as India are plummeting.
"Let's just say that, while softening, the Canadian dollar is not the rupee, lira or ringgit," sys Kavcic.
Still, it's hard to ignore recent data showing foreign investors cut back on their Canadian securities holdings by $15.4 billion in June, the largest drop since October 2007, according to Statistics Canada.
Part of that move is being blamed on the steady recovery of the U.S. economy, as investors turn their focus once again to the world's largest economy.
That the U.S. is bouncing back can't be ignored, but that also bodes well for the Canadian economy given its close economy and geographic ties.
"On a forward earnings basis, relative valuations are close to normal, as investors are less bullish on Canadian earnings, relative to the U.S., than has been seen over the past decade. Given our outlook for stronger U.S. profit growth through 2014, we would agree with that assessment, even as we give thumbs down to the short-Canada thesis," Kavcic says.

Directed by Isabel Coixet (R)
Philip Roth's heady, complex novels are sought after by Hollywood but rarely given the adaptations they deserve, said Keith Phipps in The Onion. This film, based on 2001's The Dying Animal, fares better than most, but still falls short of the book. Ben Kingsley plays a roguish professor who habitually seduces his students, until he becomes smitten with one sultry graduate student (Penélope Cruz). Spanish director Isabel Coixet "captures all the pitiless, morbid introspection" of Roth's story but "none of the fleetness." Rather than illustrate the character's inner turmoil, Coixet has Kingsley "directly vocalize" every thought, causing the film to "lurch when it should glide." Elegy doesn't have the book's "rushing intensity," said David Denby in The New Yorker. Coixet instead "works with candor, directness, and simplicity" to create a "calmer and quieter" film. She never plays down the book's "brutally honest, unabashedly sexist views," says Leslie Felperin in Variety. Yet she puts them in perspective. When it comes to Roth, "boys will be boys," but it's telling that a woman finally gave his fiction a worthy adaptation.

China Oct Silver imports down for 25th month y/y: Barclays
Source :Barclays research
China's crude oil imports in October came in at 5.6 mb/d, up 13.8% y/y; implied oil demand was up 7% y/y while YTD demand is now higher by 3% y/y. While Barclays expects a recovery in China's oil demand growth, the pace is likely to be modest over Q4, a report from the Bank said.

When it comes to precious metals appetite of China , the weakness in imports signalled in September continued in October with silver imports down y/y for the 25th straight month; palladium imports for the fifth consecutive month and platinum imports for a second month.
China's crude oil imports in October came in at 5.6 mb/d, up 13.8% y/y; implied oil demand was up 7% y/y while YTD demand is now higher by 3% y/y. While Barclays expects a recovery in China's oil demand growth, the pace is likely to be modest over Q4, a report from the Bank said.
This is after factoring in the underlying demand trends for key products as well as Barclays' economists view of a stabilisation in GDP growth rather than a pronounced recovery.
China's refinery appetite for crude oil in H2 so far has outperformed H1 in terms of growth but this was partially due to a series of retail fuel price hikes that helped boost refinery margins in September and October.
With retail fuel prices cut again in November, margins are under pressure again, and one could see the gains in refinery runs moderating going into Q4, especially with underlying product demand not being exceptionally strong.
China's October macro data were slightly better than consensus. Industrial production growth rose to 9.6% y/y from 9.2% in September while YTD fixed asset investment growth continued to recover, picking up to 20.7% y/y. Nominal retail sales growth rose to 14.5% y/y with robust consumer sentiment supporting our economists' belief that the rebalancing of the Chinese economy is underway.
Moving to metals, China's primary aluminium imports were up four-fold from last year due to an open arb and, with exports falling to 4Kt, China was a net importer of 45Kt, adding to an oversupplied domestic market. Copper cathode imports fell to 231Kt in October, their lowest level of 2012.
The fall from an average of 298Kt of imports so far this year reflected still-weak demand and a pickup in domestic copper production, as NBS data showed domestic output rose 9% y/y in October, spurred by rising TC/RCs.
Unfavourable import arb for most of September and high financing costs also likely contributed.
Finally, import appetite for agricultural commodities was mixed. Soybean, soy oil, sugar and wheat imports eased m/m while imports of cocoa, coffee, corn, cotton and palm oil rose. We don't expect the rise in cotton imports to endure and anticipate further weakness in sugar imports.

Question: pumpkin soup
October 11, 2013
I spoiled my pumpkin soup by adding too much garlic. What can I do?

Hi Mary,
So sorry for the delay in responding! Next time this happens I would add more pumpkin puree and perhaps a bit of a sweet component (honey, molasses) to balance out the garlic. Just taste as you go to make sure you're adjusting little by little. Hope that helps!

This property is situate on a truly awesome and very unique setting, perched about 200 feet above sea level and with panoramic views of Bantry Bay and the Atlantic ocean. Located on the famed Sheep's Head peninsula, which received the European Destination of Excellence (EDEN) award in 2009. The house is also nestled at the foot of Mount Seefin on the Goat's path walking and cycling route. Relax in the grounds, which comprise over one acre of landscaped gardens, or go walking or cycling the quaint country roads on this wonderful peninsula. The local pier is within a mile of the property. Ideal base for touring West Cork & Kerry and must be seen to be appreciated!
The house itself is a three-bed bungalow and fronts directly onto Bantry Bay, providing uninterrupted views of the sea from the front bedrooms, sitting room and dining room. There are 3 bedrooms, one of which is ensuite. All bedrooms are furnished with a double bed and wardrobe. This house has been prepared to make your vacation truly memorable - high end furnishings, fully equipped kitchen with microwave, two cookers, dishwasher, fridge, fridge-freezer, washing machine and dryer, CD/ Radio player, TV and DVD player.
Landscaping: Spectacular location with over an acre of manicured grounds, incorporating private sun bathing areas and natural stone seats at the front of the garden which overlook Bantry bay and the Atlantic ocean. A new outdoor room was constructed in the winter of 2011, affording the visitor a cosy, sheltered, secluded and private area with panoramic views. Watch the lighthouse flash from across the bay or view the amazing white horses on the Atlantic ocean during winter gales. Enjoy the newly planted herbatious border in another part of the garden or picnic on the splendid rockery at the rear of the house with views to the Atlantic Ocean to the west.
Aspect: Ar Neamh Beag is situated on an elevated position overlooking Bantry Bay on the North side of the Sheep's head peninsula which is situate between the Mizen head to the south and the Beara peninsula to the north. On the other side of the bay opposite the house, a lighthouse at Roancarrigmore can be observed flashing every night. This is located near Adrigole on the road into Castletownbere.
Views: Castletownbere itself sits ensconced neatly behind Bare island which is the island/ landmass to the left as you gaze across the bay from Ar Neamh Beag. The distance across Bantry bay is circa 7.2km (4.5m).
Mountain: Apart from fronting onto the sea, Ar Neamh Beag is also nestled at the foot of a small mountain called Seefin-mountain, which measures 345 meters above sea level.
Scenery: This area of West Cork is one of the most beautiful areas in Ireland with notable wildlife and animals, which are sadly no longer seen or heard in other parts of the country. The Skylark and Cuckoo are but two of the many birds which frequent the area.
Sea Fishing: There are numerous points for sea-fishing on Sheeps Head, the nearest being Gortnakilla pier which is within a mile of the house.
Restaurants: Bantry offers a variety. Ballylickey, Durrus also offer choice.
Hill Walking & Cycling: The Sheep's Head peninsula, the Beara peninsula, South West Donegal and Wicklow are among the best walking areas in Ireland. The Sheep's Head Way is a walking route that has been developed over the years with different routes marked out across the hills and mountains of sheep's head and which culminates with a lighthouse at the tip of Sheep's Head. The Sheep's Head Way was in fact awarded the European Destination of Excellence in 2009. Note O.S. Discovery series map 88.
Boat Trips: For those interested in boating, boat trips are available to a number of places including Whiddy Island where the boats depart from the pier in Bantry, Bear Island where the boats depart from Castletownbere. One of Ireland's largest off shore islands is Cape Clear and this can be accessed from boats departing the small town of Skull. Also available in Skull, are boat trips around the famous Fastnet rock/lighthouse around which the biannual Yaught race sails. For those interested in sailing, Adrigole on the Beara peninsula offers a sailing school.
Swimming: Kilcrohane c.3.5 miles away offers a small pebble beach. For those requiring a large sandy beach, Barleycove beach on the Mizen Head is recommended for a day trip. When there, take the opportunity to visit Mizen Head; the most southerly point in Ireland. The Fastnet Rock is visible on clear days.
The Sheep's Head Peninsula
Sheep's Head/ Muntervary: this is at the very tip of the Sheep's head peninsula (next stop America). From Ár Neamh Beag, simply drive west across the mountain to Kilcrohane, wherein you take a right turn. Follow the windy but very scenic road until you end up in a car park overlooking the sea. Park here, but bare in mind it can occasionally be windy. There is a gorgeous walk out to the Sheep's head from the car park across reasonably level terrain. The walk is circa 4km (2.5m) long. A light house and a helli-pad sits at the end of the peninsula.
Air India Memorial Gardens:
Following the Air India disaster in 1985 in which a Boeing 747 exploded in mid air off the Irish coast killing all passengers and crew on board, a commemorative garden was constructed to commemorate the victims of this tragedy/ terrorist attack. This is located in Ahakista, which (as the crow flies) is on the other side of the mountain from Ár Neamh Beag. The commemorative garden overlooks the sea.
Goats path/ sheep's head walking and cycling route:
The sheep's head is one of Ireland's premier walking and cycling routes. It is recommended that you procure an ordinance survey map; Discovery series 88.

It's bad enough passing it when changing the password, but on every transaction?
BTW, configure no longer uses crypt. As of Foswikirev:13942 it uses a salted MD5. Not as good as apache-md5, and not compatible with a .htaccess

Martin, Julien excited about World Juniors swim in Dubai
Tyla Martin and Kristin Julien have expressed excitement about their participation in the FINA World Junior Swimming Championships, from August 26–31, at the fourth edition, to be held at the Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Sports Complex in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Martin, who lives in Boca Raton, Florida, started representing T&T in the second year of the 11-12 age-group. There she took Caribbean swimming by storm and won 11 gold medals in the 2010 Carifta Swimming Championships in Kingston, Jamaica. In the process she set eight Carifta and three national records and was the FINA high point winner and most outstanding 11-12 female at the meet.
From there she continued to excel bringing glory to T&T each time she dove into the pool. Fast track to this year and she is still making waves regionally. At the Carifta Swimming Championships earlier this year, she won five gold and two silver, with a national record in the 200 metre butterfly.
Born to a Trinidadian mother, Babette, and an American father, Craig, Martin first showed her mettle to the T&T public at the December 2009 ASATT Invitational. Her mother always wanted her to swim for T&T and through conversation with now World Juniors coach Franz Huggins, and former aquatic director Hayden Newallo, that dream was realised.
The 16-year-old mermaid, who trains with Pine Crest Swim Club in Florida, is bubbling with excitement and is well prepared for competition in Dubai.
"I am feeling excited going into the meet. I have been preparing for months so I am definitely ready to race. My goals for the meet are to go personal bests and make finals. Training was tough. I have trained through all the meets so it feels good to finally be tapering. This meet is by far the biggest meet I have ever qualified and I am thrilled to be competing for T&T at the world junior national level. This is going to be one of the best experiences and I am elated to be a part of it."
Since August 10, Martin and Julien have been training together at Pine Crest before going off to Dubai on Friday. Julien too is rearing to go after months of preparation for the World Juniors.
Julien has been consistent in representing T&T with an impressive track record since the 11-12 age-group. Born to Wayne and Beverly Julien, Kristin has displayed a series of consistent performances, which has etched her in our national record books.
This native of San Fernando has established national and regional records in the 50m backstroke and 50m butterfly during the course of her career. She has been the ASATT Swimmer of the Year of her respective age-group for the period 2008–2011, and is a member of Titans swim club.
Before this achievement of qualifying for the Junior Championships, her career highlight was being a finalist in the 2011 Commonwealth Youth Games in the Isle of Man. Julien qualified for Worlds in December last year after recovering from an injury which kept out of competition for most of 2012.
The energetic 17-year-old is ready for the Dubai experience.
"Going in to the meet I am more excited than nervous. I am looking to achieve some personal bests in all my events. This meet means a lot to me knowing all the hard training I had in preparation for it and also get a chance to prove wrong all those who thought I could not make it. I have had a lot of support from family, friends and my club, and I am going to swim with all my heart for T&T".
Martin is scheduled to compete individually in the 50m, 100m, and 200m butterfly, 200m and 400m freestyle.
Julien is entered in the 50m backstroke, butterfly and freestyle events, and the 100m backstroke.
Both girls are expected to swim in the mixed 4x100m medley and freestyle relays. The other athletes on the team are Dylan Carter, Jonathan Ramkissoon and Joshua Romany.

PIEDMONT, Ala. —
On a recent weekday morning John Melton traveled from his home on the edge of Lay Lake, about 40 miles south of Birmingham, to take a look at one of the boats at Terrapin Outdoor Center in Piedmont.
Melton said made the extended morning trip to look at one of the shop's touring kayaks, a hard-to-find boat. He left the city with a yellow-and-red kayak strapped to his Acura SUV.
Melton isn't the only person traveling to the remote outdoors center to buy a paddle boat. Mike Warren, owner of Terrapin Outdoor Center, said people from three states, including Alabama, drive to his shop to buy boats.
"Everybody tells me it's the largest selection of boats they've ever seen in one place," Warren said. "People can actually set their eyes and hands on the boat and make a decision right here on the spot."
Warren's store is one of only a few independent paddle boat dealers in Alabama. Despite his remote location, Warren says he does more paddle boat business than the other outfitters in the state.
It's an assertion that other store owners in Alabama are willing to affirm, and reluctant to challenge.
Fairhope Boat Co. in south Alabama has been in the small-boat sales business for about three decades. The store sells 15 brands of paddle boats, and keeps 80 models of boats on-hand, three to four of each model, said Harriet Ingraham, a manager at the store.
Fairhope Boat is 347 miles from Terrapin Outdoor, but Ingraham is familiar with the business.
"I talk to different sales reps who service him and service me. I just know they do really good business," Ingraham said. "They probably sell more numbers of boats than we do."
On an average fall or winter day, Warren said he sells about two boats. During the summer months, it's three times that. The average boat sells for about $600, Warren said. Used ones can sell for as little as $200, while new boats at the center go for as much as $1,600.
"If they average two boats a day, that's pretty good," said Lonnie Carden, owner of Coosa Outdoor Center in Wetumpka. "I'm happy to sell two boats in the summertime."
Carden said he's been renting and selling paddle boats in Alabama for about four decades. He said he keeps between 50 and 60 boats on hand to sell.
"I sell a lot of boats, but I could probably sell more if it wasn't for Terrapin Creek," Carden said. "I think they're pretty heavy discounters."
At Terrapin Outdoor Center between 300 and 500 paddle boats are on hand for customers to view. They're stacked inside a small store and an adjoined shed.
Sales aren't the only place where Warren finds success. Like Coosa Outdoor and about three dozen other outfitters in Alabama, Warren also rents boats. The kayaks rent for $25.
He has a rental fleet of 200 kayaks at his creek-side shop and rents them a total of 7,500 times between March and September, which, for Warren, is the busy season. Business has been so good in recent years that on some Saturday, Warren has more customers than he does boats to rent.
Including rentals and sales, revenue has "edged up" near $1 million for the past three years at Terrapin Outdoor Center, Warren said.
"I'm really blessed to find myself in the situation I'm in," Warren said. "I love the business and I love the people."
When Warren, his wife Catherine, and his parents moved in 1995 to Terrapin Creek to be nearer the water, the land and the people there, the family never imagined having a business at the creek. It started when they began renting about six canoes shortly after moving to the creek bank.
"Within one year we realized it might be a good idea to sell them too," Mike Warren said.
The Warrens primarily rented and sold canoes until the late 1990s, when kayaks became more popular.
"It seemed like the customers enjoyed having a boat of their own," Mike Warren said. "Back in '95, kayaks were not as popular as the canoes and the companies didn't have the range of kayaks that they have today."
Though the family didn't intended to start a paddle boat business at the creek, they weren't new to the idea of selling canoes. The elder Warren, Bobby, now deceased, had been selling boats and other outdoor sporting goods since the 1960s. Bobby Warren owned Outdoor Supply, which sold an array of sporting goods in Gadsden, and was best known for his store, Bob's Cycle Sales, a Honda motorcycle shop in Alabama City, Mike Warren said.
Boats, though, were always part of Bobby Warren's business.
"Even if he was selling motorcycles in a shop, he'd be selling canoes in the back room," Mike Warren said.
That began in 1969, when Bobby started dealing in aluminum canoes. Initially canoeing was an outgrowth of his desire to fish, but it became more than that for the elder Warren.
"It just carried over into a business." Mike Warren said.
Mike Warren has said he can't quite decide why his business has been such a success. His store is off the beaten path in Cherokee County, at the end of a long gravel road off of a roughly-paved road that turns off of Alabama 9 north of Piedmont. It's on a 10-acre slice of land that backs up to Terrapin Creek, where he lets renters plop his boats in the water and paddle away to until they reach the nearest landing.
He has never advertised. His rudimentary website is the store's portal to the outside world.
And at a time when many outfitters are selling popular outdoor clothing brands and other fashionable gear, he sticks to the basics. He sells paddle boats, canoes, kayaks and paddle boards, and their accessories - paddles, dry boxes and life jackets.
Mike Warren uses a cash box and a calculator, instead of a cash register. His receipts are hand-written on carbon paper and he uses simple black, touch-tone phone with a spiral cord.
Warren said he wants to keep his business, "just like it is."

I am not familar with all the various Spey Rod types.. I see mostly European Style , two handed and traditional.. What or which type of spey rod do most folks use who fish in WA. Rivers.. I assume European is not what we would buy or am I wrong? I see spey casters but never get a chance to ask them about their equipment/Rod. There must be some way to know if what you are buying is the right type of rod for our local waters such as the Deschutes or Cowlitz. Thanks for your time, Ron on the Willapa
Ron, an answer to your question could fill up pages. Basically we have folks out there using rods designed for everything from Scandanavian "underhand (fast action for short shooting head) casting" to old school "traditional (british, slower action for long line) speycasting" and everything in between. Here's where it gets complicated. They aren't necessarily using them for what they were designed for! Just about any decent two handed rod out there will throw a Windcutter (or other 50 to 55 foot head line) or midspey (or other 65 to 67 foot head line) better than the person holding the rod can cast. Rods have gotten so good, down to the $250, or even lower level that if you don't care about image, you can get a rod that'll do just about everything the average fisherman needs for not much. Translation? If you pick a good rod, it doesn't really matter which rod it is, unless you plan to get really specialized... And plan to become a super caster. Then it matters. I'm sure lots of folks will argue with that statement. So, what rod to choose? It sucks to hear this over and over again, but try as many as you can get your hands on. Need one rod to cover all 4 seasons on big to small rivers? Start looking at 13 to 14 foot 8 to 9 weight rods. You'll use different lines throughout the year, but a 14 foot 9 weight is a killer first rod, and one of the rods experienced folks with 10 rods grab first often enough. Sorry for the not very specific answer, but a real specific one would take pages and someone more knowledgeable than I.
Ron-- European, traditional, or 2-hand labels of a rod tells you very little about the rod, which I think is some of what Phil was getting at. There are slow, soft European rods like the B&W Norway or Loop Yellow Series 2-handers, and there are fast, stiff European rods like the Carrons and the Loop Green Series 2-handers. Likewise there are soft, slow traditional rods like the Sage 9140-4 and fast recovering moderately stiff rods like the CND Specialist series or the even faster Loomis Greased Line series of 2-handers. And if you go to the UK or Norway, all rods used for spey casting are simply called 2-handed fly rods. In other words, all 2-hand rod means it that it is a long rod that has a rear grip and a long foregrip and that it is cast through using both hands and arms on the rod. We in North Amercica have taken to calling 2-handed rods spey rods, which they really aren't, instead of 2-hand rods because the 2-hand rod began its introduction in North America through spey casting. In Norway it is very common for folks to use 2-hand rods of 16'-18' for overhead casting 42' shooting heads out as far as 150'. And top even confuse people further, what one rod company calls moderate action, another rod company calls slow, and still a third company calls medium-fast. This is not because there is a conspiracy by the rod companies, it is because the terms used most often to describe rod action are so imprecise as to be nearly meaningless. For example, I happen to like fast recovering (rods that spring back from being bent very quickly), stiff (means just what it says, the rod is pretty resistent to bending), progressive (means the rods move the casting load down the blank in a very predictable manner with increasing stiffness from tip to butt) rods in both single-hand and 2-hand rods. A very good friend likes fast recovering, moderately stiff, progressive rods. And a third friend likes fast recovering, moderately stiff, regressive (means the rod loads quickly into the middle of the blank where most of the rod's power lies, and then the butt is softer than the middle). Obviously all three of these rods types load and cast differently. But all three are equally good at casting 100' or more for the caster who likes that action type. So, what does a newcomer to spey casting do to chose his first rod? First start with an "all around" one (one you can use both summer and winter) and almost without exception experienced spey casters recommend a 14' 9 (or 8/9) wt rods, with a 13' 8 (or 7/8) or 13' 9 (or 8/9) wt being the second most recommended rod; but the 13'er recommendation is far below that of the 14' recommended by percentage. The 14' 9wt is recommended by some 90% as the ideal, all around rod for a new spey caster, with the 13' 8 wt and 13' 9 wt making up about 8%. Now the next question is what type of action should I get? The best thing to do is get a 2-hander with an action similar to what you like in a single-hand rod. If you like fast single-hand rods, look at the fast 2-hander from T&T, Loomis (the GLX's), Loop Green Series, Carron, Redington, Sage TCR, or Meiser Highlander Series. If you like a more moderate, medium action (or what Orvis call mid-flex) single hand-rod, look at the moderate actioned St. Croix, Sage European, Loop Blue Series, CND Specialist, Meiser MKS series, Loomis Greased Liner series, Scott LS2 series, Burkheimers, Lamiglas 5-piece models, Winston Derek Brown or DB series, Anderson 2-handers, or TFO. If you like slower, softer easy bending single-hand rods (like the Winston and Orvis full-flex single-handers) the Winston, CND Custom and Expert series, Echo, Sage Traditional, Cabella's 2-handers, most Orvis 2-handers, or Lamiglas 4-piece models. Then you need to choose a line. I personally think the best line for a beginning spey caster is one of the mid-belly spey lines (those with a belly of 65' give or take a foot or two). The RIO MidSpey, Airflow Long Delta, and SA Mastery Spey are all of this type. The mid-belly requires you to develop good technique or you won't be able to cast it very far, while not being the very long so-called long-belly lines (that I prefer and use) with bellies of 80'-100', which should only be used by those with very good technique or they will prove a study in frustration. I am very aware that there are a lot of folks out there saying that new spey casters ought to buy a short-belly line (RIO Windcutter, SA Short, Airflow Delta) because the 55' belly of them makes it easy for a beginner to cast 55'-65'. And because the short-belly lines are "more forgiving" of "casting erros" (read poor technique). Although both of these are true, if the long run the short belly will actually increase the length of time it takes a new spey caster to learn how to spey cast will precisely because casting faults are covered up. Hope this long-winded post by an experienced spey caster (13 years) is of help to you and others thinking of getting into spey casting.
Thanks for the great informaiton, suggestions and your willingness to share your knowledge.. it was helpful, Ron
looking for some clarification from the spey gurus... the term spey refers to a type/style of casting and is often used broadly when refering to two-handed rods. there are rods specifically designed for spey casting but not all two-handed rods are spey rods. is this accurate? thanks. t
The name "Spey" is the name of a river, a type of cast made with a two handed rod, a type of fly pattern design. Just like with fly fishing, two handed rods have and are going through a growth spurt; a change of sorts. To try not to complicate things, one can use a two handed rod in lots of different ways. One can obviously cast overhead with a two handed rod (mainly rods under 13 feet). One can also do what is often referred to as a spey cast. There are many different types of ways to spey cast, each with a different name. To name just a few there is perry poke, single or double spey, circle cast, snake roll, snap t. Just as there are many different types of casts one can do with a double hander, there is an assortment of rods as well as lines that one can choose from. Just like with single hand fly fishing there is floating lines, sinking lines and sink tip lines. The same goes with two handed rods. A very popular style of fishing currently used in Europe is using a full sinking fly line and a heavily weighted tube fly. A few very proficient casters came up with a type of casting used to cast heavily weighted flies with sinking fly lines. We call this technique underhand casting. When you hear the name "European style" this is what they are referring to. "Traditional" style is usually referring to the type of two handed fishing that we grew up with. A floating line traditional spey flies or even dry flies and a using more taditional spey casting. Generally speaking a traditional spey rod you will probably feel the flex of the rod down even into the cork of the handle. A european rod is progressive, and usually you wont feel the flex as much into the cork. The problem with the terms European and traditional is that they are not very specific. As the lines get more specialized so do the casts and the rods. The craze now is increasing the modulous in the rods so that the recovery is quick, and yet one would get a very deep progressive taper in which you would feel the load all the way down to the cork. The best of both worlds. To answer the question of which rod we use in the northwest one first needs to know what species and where specifically you are fishing. Rods used in the summer on the Grande Rhonde are going to be a bit different than the rods used on the skagit during march. If going for winter run steelhead, a sink tip line is primarily used. A 14-15 foot rod #9 with either a skagit head, or windcutter would probably be the most common set up used during the winter. If you prefer fishing small rivers in the winter, then drop the length to a 13-14 foot rod. For most summer run steelhead in the northwest a floater is preferred. Rod length usually dictates casting distance. in other words a 12-13 foot rod does quite well from about 50 feet to 85 feet. A 14 to 15 foot rod usually does well from about 65-100 feet. For years two handed rods have been on the steep side as far as price. For this reason many people have only been able to budget for one two handed rod. To be able to be the most versitle on all rivers of the northwest both for winter and summer a 14 foot taditional rod seemed to fit the bill. For example Sage 1409 traditional.
Tyler, To answer your question in simpler and easier to digest terms. Yes, spey casting is a type of casting usually, but not always, done with 2-handed rods. I've often spey cast with a single-hand rod, and if fishing a smaller river/stream (one under 40'-50' across) I will use a single hand rod and spey cast with it and a salmon/steelhead single-hand line with sink tips looped on it when I need to get down. There are also 2-handed rods designed specifically for overhead casting with standard shooting heads or single-hand saltwater lines. Such rods are designated as overhead rods and they are not able to carry the amount of grain weight in a line as the vast majority of 2-handed rods. T&T makes one (the 1212), CND makes two (11' 11 wt and 12' 12 wt) and Robert Meiser makes several from 11' to 13' in length. To illustrate what I mean by not being able to cast the same amoung of grain weight take the T&T 1212. It is designed to cast an 11 or 12 wt salwater line or 12 or 13 wt 30'-36' shooting head. Such line weigh about 350 grains. My 1611 T&T (16' 11 wt) is designed to cast between 850 and 1200 grains of line weight. Obviously a 12 wt overhead 2-hander is very different than an 11 wt spey casting 2-hander. Heck, even the light 6 wt 2-handers designed for spey casting are built to cast short-belly (50'-56' belly length) spey lines that weigh in at 450 gr. This doesn't mean that you cannot spey cast with a rod designed expressly for overhead 2-handed casting. But it doesn mean you have to come down at least 3 and probably 4 line sizes to not overload the rod. Likewise, you can overhead cast saltwater lines or shooting heads with a 2-hander designed for spey casting, you just have to go up 3 or 4 line sizes in order to load the rod properly. However, 2-hand rods for spey casting are very capable of overhead casting with a short-belly, Scandanavian, or Skagit spey line. Fortunately, we now have some pretty good 2-hand rods suited to spey casting on the market for between $250.00 and $350.00. TFO, ECHO, St. Croix, and Redington all make them. The ECHO is a slower more flexible rod like the Sage traditionals, the TFO is a more moderate, moderately fast recovering rod, the St. Croix a more moderately fast rod, and the Redington a medium fast, fast recovering rod. Like I stated in my prior post, a person new to spey casting here in the PNW would be best served by picking a 14' 9 wt that has an action similar to the type of single-hand action he likes. This holds whether he is going to buy one of the lower priced ones, or shoots the moon and gets one of the premium brand, high performance, high priced ones. Personally, I think a new spey caster is best served through one of the lower priced brands because it will take several years before he has the casting technique and ability to utilize the performance built into the high end, premium brand rods.
FT, I agree with everything you've said, but fall into the group of people who would recommend going a rod weight or two lighter. I believe that in most circumstances, a 9 weight rod is just a bit heavy, but that again is somewhat subject to debate depending upon the manufacturer. That said, somewhere in the 7-9 weight, 13-15 foot rod is always a good choice.
To me, the line weight of the rod is all relative to the type of fly being used. If most of your steelheading is done on size 2 to size 8 then go with a 13-14 foot rod #7. If you are using weighted flies, or big rabit fur flies from 3/0 to 2 then a 14-15 foot #9 would be the ticket. With watever you decide on, I believe that getting the right line for the rod is paramount. I have seen way too many people not happy with their first set up because the line is not working for the type of rod or cast that you are doing. I would also reccomend that you spend a little time with a certified casting instructor. For most steelhead rivers in the northwest, overhead casting really isn't the most productive cast, and a casting instructor would be able to help in learning more productice casts for your rod. The instructor would probably be able to match the proper line for the rod, which I feel is far more productive that going off of the reccomendation of a shop employee. I think all would agree that although 2 handed rods can at times get a bit confusing with the terminology, it is a very fun an effective fishing tool.
Michaeldeg, The only problem with taking casting lessons from an FFF 2-hand certified casting instructor is that there are very few of them. I'm not sure if anyone has recently passed the FFF 2-hand certification test in the Puget Sound area; but as of August I know there weren't any. The closest FFF 2-hand certified instructors I'm aware of are in BC (Dana Strum and the owner of Whistler Fly Shop, Brian Niska are the 2 I'm aware of in the lower mainland of BC), and there is Leroy Teeple, Al Buhr, and Bill (I can't recall his last name) from the Portland, OR area. Like I said, unless someone has passed the FFF 2-hand certification test since August these are the only 5 2-hand certified instructors I'm aware on in the northern Oregon through lower mainland of BC area. There are quite a few FFF certified instructors, and several FFF certified master instructors in the area; but these are not 2-hand certified. The FFF 2-hand certification is a completely different test that is addition to requiring that the person taking the test is a FFF certified instrucor, the candidate is tested on his proficiency in spey casting (including casting 80' without shooting line for three spey casts with the right hand up and the left hand up, and casting 100' with both the right hand up and the left hand up with the same three casts from each side). There is also the requirement to be able to explain what is wrong with a spey cast and how to correct it. The other two FFF casting certifications (certified instructor and master instructor) are not even close to the 2-hand certification. There are several other very good spey casters, who are very good instructors with 10+ years of experience spey casting in the area who you can get good, solid casting instruction from. Just be aware that they are not 2-hand certified casting instructors. Believe it or not, there are very good spey casters, who are also very good instructors, who do not wish to go through the 2-hand certification process. People such as Aaron Reimer or Carnation, Brian Styskel of Maple Valley, Mike Kinney or Arlington, John Farrar of Seattle, Ed Ward of Silvana, to name of few, are excellent spey casters and instructors who have not desire to become FFF certified instructors. There are other very good spey casters around who will gladly teach a person how to spey cast who are not certified and who have no desire to become certified because they don't plan on being professional casting instructors. But they will give a person good solid instruction if they are sought out and asked for little or no fee.
I do believe that we have one in carnation that is a certified as a two handed rod instructor. I am not opposed to getting a guide like Mike Kinney or John Farrar, or JD Love, or anybody else for that matter that is very accomplished at spey casting. Many times I enter a fly shop and hear some dumb ass employee giving adivise as to what line rod system will work the best for their customer. I overhearing this, and often knowing that the system they reccomend will not balance or load correctly just makes me cringe. When purchasing a rod that costs a few hundred bucks or more combined with reel backing and $100- $200 fly line is quite an investment for most. These same customers try their hardest to master spey fishing by watching videos or reading a book, and then going straight to the river. They try a few times and then get frustrated, only to then go to a proffessional that will only make them more frustrated when they learn that it will cost an additional $200 or more before they will even be able to cast the rod. This compounded by the lack of fish actually being caught many will give up and quit. I personally am self taught. I have spent probably close to 1000 hours just in a field perfecting the spey cast. Being self taught has probably helped me as well as hindered me in certain areas. My first rod and line combo really did not load well, and at first did cause a bit of frustration. At that time there really wasn't anybody I could talk to because everybody basically didn't know very much. With todays rod technologies and line developments, it should be much easier to have success with this sport. I still reccomend that you get a person that actually fishes with two handers and can help in getting the right combo, as well as giving that person the right advise and training to cast the rod. I do not reccomend talking much with shop employees that spend most of their week in the store as opposed to spey fishing. I have actually learned a great deal myself from a few guides that I have had the opportunity to fish with. On many occassions I can cast further and prettier, but not more effective.
you followed this comment up with some remark about "dumbass shop employees". well if you knew anything about two-handed rods, you would know that it is the line that casts the fly, not the rod. i rarely fish anything larger then a #8 rod and more often then not fish a #7 and have no issues fishing 1 1/2" long brass tubes on the #8 and fishing massive intruders on the #7. and quite often, i have allowed beginers to play around with my setups, and they can the big old flies without a problem. it is because i am fishing a short heavy line that has the mass to move the big and/or heavy flies through the air. it is not the rod!
Michaeldeg, I know exactly what you mean about shop employees or owners who know little or nothing about spey casting selling rod and line combos that I know just don't work well. I've even witnessed a shop owner tell a fellow who just bought a spey rod from him that a salmon/steelhead line he had in stock was just the ticket to make the rod sing. I spoke up at that and pointed out that salmon/steelhead lines are not spey lines so it wouldn't even come close to loading the rod and told the customer what spey lines would work best for him, which the shop didn't have in stock in the proper size. After the customer left, I was invited to never come back into the shop by the owner because I cost him a sale. When I tried to explain to the owner that th customer deserved getting a line that actually worked with the high end spey rod he just paid a fair bit for, the owner informed me that he had to sell the lines he had in stock and besides since spey casting is nothing more than fancy roll casting, pretty much any line of the same weight should work. I haven't been back to his shop since and that was 5 years ago. I feel sorry for his customers because he knows nothing about spey casting and only fishes single hand rods in lakes for trout, yet he freely dispenses advise on spey rods and lines to unsuspecting folks. We are very fortunate in Puget Sound because Aaron in Carnation is a very accomplished spey caster who will provide excellent advise and who will not sell beginning spey casters rod and line combos that don't work. Additionally Aaron does his Saturday morning spey clinics on the river and he takes many of the 60 or so spey rods he has in stock down to the river for folks to try. A better deal than this where you can get spey casting instruction for good spey casters and try rods and lines without having to buy is something I'm not aware of anyone else doing in the area. There are some other shops that give good advise and have good spey casters as owners or employees Dave over in Port Angeles, Patrick's in Seattle, Kaufmann's in Bellevue (but unfortunately not downtown) has a person knowledgeable in spey casting behind the counter as does Creekside in Seattle.
YAK, Thanks for catching my mispelling of Dana's name. I know better than to do so since he is an aquaintence of mine (has been for 5 years) and I just got to see and talk to him at Aaron's Speyfair this past weekend.
It is true that the line carries the fly. It would also be true that the rod casts the line. However if you feel that is in some way not the case, then feel free to take your reel of line and your heavy tube fly and go down to a river and start casting with no rod at all and see how you do at casting your big flies accuratly. On the subject of lines, head length, weight, and taper all play a very important roll in spey fishing. Technique and ability would also play a roll. The rio skagit spey which with tip the head measures 42 feet long which holds most of the weight. Even with the 450 grain version I could cast easilly any big honkin fly I own. Now start adding cold freezing rain with a good dose of northwest wind, I would be lucky to hit the broad side of a barn 80 feet away, and that is after stripping in all the running line up to the start of the head, risking of course cutting the running line on wet frozen guides. In the above example lets say that now I am using a full sinking line, or even a sink tip line that weighs say 550 or 650, maybe even 750 over say a 65 foot head. I would have to strip in far less line, and the line certainly has the ability to cast a larger fly longer distances in the wind and rain. However now we start running into what type of rod would best be used to load properly this amount of line plus friction and weight of the water on the line without breaking or buckling from the weight. I do know a great deal about 2 handed rods, as well as the lines used. Short heavy heads definatly have their place, and I would not argue that compared to larger heads, do have a tremendous amount of energy. However full sinking lines with a 65 foot head, or a straight floater with a 75 foot head is just as important if not more. With these larger heads, the length one can cast a heavily weighted fly accuratly comes down to technique, length of rod, and the power of the rod. So the comment I made about rod selection holds very true. I do not personally care if a rod says it is a #7 or a #10. I do think that knowing the grain window on a given rod is paramount. I usually pick the line I will use based on the flies I will be using. Knowing what length of head, what size of fly, and how far I will be casting, as well as what type of fishing I will be doing all goes into which rod I choose.
In northern Idaho there is the Red Shed fly shop. The guy there specializes in everything Spey. You might not want to travel there but he could recommend a rod and lessons.
Right on Michaeldeg! That is precisely why I use 16' and 18' 11 wt rods and long-belly spey lines with a plethora of sink tips in winter. They let me cast to 100' more or less with a long-belly 11 wt line (for those not used to spey terminology these line have belly lengths of 95'-100') without needing to strip any line at all. And if I want to reach to occasional lie that is 120' or so distant, I simply shoot some running line. As you said, I don't have to worry about icing up my guides, stripping umteen feet of running line, or having the wind blow and stop the short head well before it reaches 80'. I noticed you left out that with the longer belly lines, we can still fish the 50'-65' casts with ease.
