Johnny Carson Biopic Is in the Works -- Here Are 5 Actors Who Could Play Him
The bigger the celebrity, the harder he or she is to cast in a biopic. The chosen actor or actress has to be able to pull off an iconic face, perform without coming across as an impersonation and, most importantly, make us forget who we're actually watching up on the screen. Johnny Carson, a man who was in our living rooms nightly for 30 years, is one of the most familiar men, in appearance and behavior, in all of American history. According to Deadline New York, he is getting a feature biopic from the makers of the upcoming film Hitchcock, and I wish them good luck finding the right man for the part. Not even Carnac the Magnificent could foresee any names on that list. You know they're not getting Rich Little to play him again.
Producer Tom Thayer is regrouping with his Hitchcock screenwriter John McLaughlin, who also wrote Black Swan, for an adaptation of Bill Zehme's long-in-the-works book Carson The Magnificent: An Intimate Portrait. Zehme consulted on and appeared in the exceptional recent American Masters documentary on Carson, King of Late Night (watch it here), and he's reportedly the only journalist who the former Tonight Show host talked to after his retirement. So, the material should be quality, but the thing that could make or break something like this is the casting, and there really aren't a whole lot of known stars who could pull off the look and personality, the comedy and the drama, convincingly.
Should they go with an unknown? Or, might any of the following ideas work?
Bill Hader
He's a bit young if they're looking primarily to cover Carson's years as NBC's late-night talk show host, but Hader has the comedic experience down and isn't too bad a ringer for him if you think about it -- after Hitchcock, Thayer probably won't hesitate using some prosthetics to get it perfect. Of course, as an SNL player, his knack for celebrity portrayals would be viewed too far on the impression side.
Ben Affleck
The Argo director and star has played a few real people now, including TV actor George Reeves, who he didn't bear much resemblance to. At 6'2", he's on the tall side for the 5'10½" Carson, and it's hard to imagine him doing the host's voice without sounding forced. He's just one of the few big stars I could think of whose ears might stick out enough.
Josh Duhamel
While easily recognizable, the Transformers star isn't very high profile, and it's possible he could disappear in this role. He kinda looks like a young Carson to me, but maybe I'm trying too hard. Does he have the acting chops to pull it off is the real question. Also, at 6'3", he's even taller than Affleck, which is really, literally stretching it.
Ben Foster
A fellow Iowan (though born in Boston), this rising talent is much more appropriate in terms of height -- even an inch and a half short -- but he's back to the younger side of the spectrum. They could always go for two actors, with Foster in the Navy and early TV days and longtime lookalike Tommy Smothers taking on later-years Carson.
Joe Swanberg
First person who came to mind when I looked at young pictures of Carson is this actor/filmmaker, who is very unknown in the mainstream, meaning he wouldn't be too distracting for most viewers. He's actually the youngest of the choices yet, and he's as tall as Duhamel. But Carson was always a young-looking guy, so the actor needn't be too age-perfect. And as for the height thing, they just need to get a 7' tall giant to play the 6'4" Ed McMahon and the perspective will work.

From his apartment window, Ian McWhannell looks out on Soviet fishing ships that motor into Wellington Harbor to pick up fresh crew. The sight of foreign vessels, which work under a joint venture with a New Zealand company, upsets Mr. McWhannell. Hardly any Kiwi sailors have worked on board the alien trawlers that harvest fish within the country's 200-mile economic zone.
McWhannell, executive officer of the New Zealand Federation of Commercial Fishermen, which represents about 50 local fishermen's groups in Wellington, complains that the zone "hasn't worked out the way we thought it would."
To Fletcher Challenge Ltd., New Zealand's largest corporation, however, the zone has worked out better than anticipated. As a partner with the Soviets, it has seen profits bolstered by selling to foreign markets and by having taxes reduced through export incentives.
The government, meanwhile, views the zone as a mixed success. Fisheries officials are pleased with the increase in export income, but unhappy that the local fishermen have not taken a larger role. Last year, $135 million (NZ$165 million) worth of fish were sold abroad, compared with $82 million (NZ$100 million) in 1979.
While the joint ventures net profits, the domestic fishing industry "is in the worst shape it's ever been in," says Nick Jarman, general manager of the New Zealand Fishing Industry Board. He says the problem "is that we have too many people looking for too few fish. . . . The fishermen are not meeting expenses."
The industry turned bad after the discovery a decade ago of vast quantities of rock lobster off of the Chatham Islands, about 350 miles east of New Zealand. The lobsters, shipped to the United States as lobster tails, were even harvested by helicopter. "Anything that floated went to the Chatham Islands for the rock lobster gold rush," an official noted. It didn't take long to overfish the lobsters, and today only two firms remain on the islands plucking the spiny creatures.
A government official says this experience has led the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries to consider policing all catches more closely -- an unpopular possibility with the nation's estimated 3,000 fishermen and 3,000 processors.
Those in the domestic industry are fighting not only among themselves at the fishing holes, but also in joint ventures. Some fishermen have recently charged that fish caught by the Fletcher-USSR joint venture have been sold in Australia, a major importer of New Zealand fish, undercutting domestic fishermen.
According to Peter Robins, general manager of Fletcher fishing Ltd., a subsidiary of Fletcher Challenge, the company "committed the cardinal sin of being the new boy on the block and being successful." Fletcher challenge cast its nets for the first time in 1979. Today, the company operates 11 out of the 21 joint ventures fishing in New Zealand waters.
The company says it believes it has "some commitment" to gain a certain degree of "New Zealandization" in its joint ventures. it argues, however, that Kiwi fishermen won't take jobs on joint-venture boats, since they don't have the amenities that New Zealand boats have.
Also, the waters around New Zealand are extremely rough. A government official calls it a "stormy bit of countryside," noting that sailors refer to the surrounding waters as the "roaring 40s," for the high winds that blow around the area's latitude.
Mr. McWhannel, not surprisingly, disputes any assertion that Kiwis don't want to roll with the swells pushed north by Antarctic gales. "Our fishermen will work 6 weeks to 120 days at sea and fit right in," he declares, pointing out that they have crewed on US-New Zealand joint-venture tuna vessels operating in N.Z. waters.
Mr. Jarman says some joint ventures made attempts to put New Zealanders on their ships but ran into social and dietary problems. For example, crews on some of the South Korean ships mainly ate vegetables. And it's difficult to spend months at sea with a crew that doesn't speak English.
In the case of the Soviets, Jarman says, "New Zealanders have all kinds of suspicions and fears." For example, along the wharves of Dunedin, New Zealanders mutter about the Soviet ships being way overstaffed -- possibly with Soviet intelligence agents -- and suddenly appearing in New Zealand ports when US warships are in the area on maneuvers. Despite the suspicions, Mr. Robins says Fletcher Challenge has learned a lot from the joint venture: where the best fishing grounds are: what the catch expectations are on a daily basis; what the cost of onshore processing is; and how to market fish overseas.
"We've also learned that it's not economic for a New Zealand-owned company to fish in deep water by itself," he says.
McWhannell disagrees. He cites a contest that was held between N.Z. boats and some Japanese joint-venture boats. On a per-hour basis, the New Zealanders netted more fish.
Fletcher Challenge says that instead of putting Kiwis on Soviet trawlers, it has decided to spend more money for onshore processing. The company hires about 70 people in Dunedin to process fish -- a strategy designed to take advantage of an export tax incentive that encourages processing. But even without the incentives, Robins says, the business would still be profitable still trawling offshore.
The Fishing Industry Board is pressuring for more government help for the industry. Companies now receive export incentives, concessional loans to build large trawlers, sales tax exemptions on gear, and an 11.7-cent-a-liter (45 -cent-a-gallon) refund on gasoline. The board wants the government to invest $ 22 million a year for the next 10 years. At present, the government is spending about $12 million a year. The new investment, the board estimates, could result in 3,000 new jobs, mainly on the South Island.
The best opportunities for New Zealand fishermen may be in southern bluefin tuna and squid markets. Japan would be the chief customer for both. Also, if the US government achieves its goal of promoting so-called "junk fish" to consumers under new names, New Zealand might be able to sell such species as orange roughie, New Zealand bream, and green mussels in the US. Bream, for instance, woud become snapper.

Hey, Jade! How's it feel to be the new girl on the block? "So far, I'm loving it! I'm going to school right now to become a highschool English teacher, but I thought this would be something fun I could do on the side. I've always been a really sexual girl. I hate wearing panties; I like hitting up the strip clubs now and again and I'm a bit of a freak in the sack. I love to rub my clit and cum every chance I get. One of my fans got me this really awesome wand so I've been using that a lot to get off. God, I'm getting horny just thinking about it!" That sounds pretty hot! Can you tell us more about your kinkiest fuck session? "Oh, god! It would have to be this party I had after my senior prom. Shit really went down that night! I'm not sure how it started, but eventually I found myself in my bed with four other couples! Some of them were just making out and grinding and stuff, but once I started stripping, all the other girls did too. It was like a web of flesh, arms and legs and tits and tongues everywhere. Hands down, world's best orgy." Damn! Wait a minute, so you're into women also? "Oh, yes. I love women, almost as much as I love men! They're just so soft, and their tongues..my god.

Support for beleaguered Karmapa pours in from all quarters
Days after the Himachal Pradesh high court ordered criminal proceedings against him in the 2011 foreign exchange violation case, support has starting pouring in for Ogyen Trinley Dorje, the 17th Gyalwang Karmapa who is the head of the Karma Kagyu school, one of the four main schools of Tibetan Buddhism, from all quarters, particularly the Buddhist community spread across the Himalayas.punjab Updated: Jul 12, 2015 19:28 IST
Days after the Himachal Pradesh high court ordered criminal proceedings against him in the 2011 foreign exchange violation case, support has starting pouring in for Ogyen Trinley Dorje, the 17th Gyalwang Karmapa who is the head of the Karma Kagyu school, one of the four main schools of Tibetan Buddhism, from all quarters, particularly the Buddhist community spread across the Himalayas.
A bit disappointed but optimistic, the followers of the 30-year-old leader feel he would "come out clean" and that it was time the Indian government took the initiative to resolve the issue to avoid alienating Buddhists residing in a "strategic border area."
They have categorically blamed a rival group owing allegiance to Trinley Thay Dorje, a claimant to the title of the Karmapa, for trying to implicate Ogyen and have alleged the NGO that filed the petition in the high court, Denzong Nang-Ten Sung-Kyob Tsogpa (DNST), was backed by the Thay camp.
"He is a highly revered religious leader for the Buddhist population residing in the Himalayas. We're disappointed but not broken as we know he's innocent and will come out clean," says Jambay Wangdue when reached over phone.
Wangdue hails from Tawang region and is chairman of the Karmik and Adhyatmik (Chos-Rig) department in the Arunachal Pradesh government.
"We've full faith in the Karmapa and the entire Buddhist population in the state stands in solidarity with him," he added.
Devotees from another north-eastern state, Sikkim, which has a large Buddhist population, expressed similar views about their revered leader.
"We're very disappointed by the high court order. An atmosphere of despair and disappointment prevails in the entire state," said Sonam Lama, MLA from Sangha, India's only assembly constituency that has no territorial boundaries and is reserved for reserved for the Buddhist clergy with only monks and nuns as the electorate. "The monastic community in Sikkim," he said, "Is feeling disheartened ever since the news was heard and we're trying to keep them in high spirits. I will write to the Indian as well as the Himachal Pradesh government to resolve the issue. DNST is part of a conspiracy hatched by the rival camp and they also try to instigate people in Sikkim against the Karmapa."
The Sikkim legislative assembly had adopted a resolution moved by Sonam to take Ogyen to the Rumtek monastery, the exiled seat of the Karmapa. Sikkim chief minister Pawan Chamling too has pledged to bring Karmapa and "install" him at the Rumtek monastery on many occasions.
The Indian government has banned both Ogyen and Thay from entering the Rumtek monastery. The Karmapa's followers in the Ladakh region of Jammu and Kashmir, which is dominated by Buddhists, to whom this reporter talked on phone, said they too stood in solidarity with their leader and hoped it would all end soon.
Meanwhile, Tibetan activist and writer Tenzin Tsundue, who was first to come out in open support of the Karmapa when the controversy erupted in 2011, says the Indian government's move to prosecute the latter would alienate the country's "strategic border population," many of whom are followers of the Karmapa, who is also a potential successor of the Dalai Lama.
About the foreign currency haul controversy, he said: "The first incident in Una district was the aftermath of a fallout between two businessmen. As far as seizure of foreign currency in the Gyuto monastery (residence of the Karmapa in Dharamsala) is concerned, every monastery, like Hindu temples, receives donations. Dragging the Karmapa into the controversy is something we can't comprehend."

Christopher Nicholas Williams reportedly told the HCSO that the emergence of health problems and anger management issues coincided with the beginning of him raping the child.
Heath Dudley Drinnon, 43, 9271 Highway 11-W, entered guilty pleas on Oct. 12 to 17 counts related to three separate cases: a high speed chase that occurred May 2, another that took place Nov. 18, 2017 and possession of child pornography discovered in August 2017.
Beth Ann Manis stood trial June 20-21 charged with first-degree murder and faced the possibility of life in prison if convicted. Instead, a jury found her guilty of voluntary manslaughter, a Class C felony punishable by three to six years.
The original aggravated rape charge is a Class A felony punishable by 15-25 years, but as part of his plea agreement Moises Jimenez Casas pleaded guilty to a reduced Class B felony rape count.
Chris Calendine earned that loyalty and support for a reason. For 17 years, he was not only a local pediatrician, he was also a part of the community and generous with his money and time.
A pediatrician who not too long ago was one of Rogersville's most beloved citizens will spend the next six months behind bars and eight years on probation after accepting a plea agreement Monday in Hawkins County Criminal Court connected to allegations he sexually abused two juvenile males in 2017.
As for the testimony that will be allowed, Pearson said allegations made by "Accuser 3" are more recent, from 2008, and recount circumstances similar to the 2017 allegations made by two boys ages 12 and 14 which resulted in Dr. Chris Calendine being charged last year with two counts of sexual battery.
Brandon Eugene Frost was sentenced to eight years for a 2015 kidnapping, robbery and assault, as well as another 10 years on house arrest for additional charges he picked up while incarcerated awaiting trial.
A witness claimed that in 2013 Rogersville pediatrician Dr. Chris Calendine sent him an email admitting he prescribing Aderrall, a Schedule II narcotic, to the witness's brother, but used the drug himself.
There's been a rash of high speed police pursuits in Hawkins County in recent months, including four that occurred within about six weeks of each other and resulted in a total of 40 grand jury indictments divided among four defendants Monday.
On Monday, Shawn Everette Hatchett was named in a 57-count Hawkins County Grand Jury indictment charging him with theft over $60,000 from the Hawkins County School System, forgery over $60,000 and 55 counts of violation of the water control act.
Edmond Earl Stanley, 22, was arrested the evening of Oct. 21, 2017 shortly after allegedly running over and fatally injuring 48-year-old Ricky Golden at a barn near Surgoinsville where golden had been staying with a female companion.
On Jan. 17 Rogersville police responded to a daycare center where Makayla Burrows and a female coworker reported they had been receiving threatening messages that included separate threats to "kill everyone" and "blow up the daycare" while there were about 20 children inside.
On Tuesday a judge heard testimony from three men who said Dr. Chris Calendine either touched them, or attempted to touch them in a sexual manner when they were minors. One of the witnesses is a convicted perjurer and another is currently serving jail time in Virginia.
A Hawkins County man whose false statements resulted in a romantic rival spending three weeks in jail charged with attempted murder was sentenced Tuesday to six year and fined $10,000.

As the 2006 world championships begin this week in Japan, USA Basketball is the Joe Lieberman of the sports world: defeated and desperate, using every means to claw back toward relevance. They don't have much to build on: In the 2002 world championship, the former goliaths of the hoops universe stumbled to a sixth-place finish. At the 2004 Olympiad in Greece, they won the bronze medal but suffered more losses than the team had in its entire Olympic history.
It's understandable that Jerry Colangelo, managing director of USA Basketball men's team, and coach Mike Krzyzewski are now pulling out every trick to turn things around. This year's team is rich in talent with the potential to win gold, but they're greener than a Minnesota banana. Featuring young superstars like LeBron James, Dwight Howard and Dwyane Wade, the starting lineup may end up being on average younger than 23.
With such a raw squad, Colangelo and Coach K are understandably striving to develop team cohesion and unity. But their methods are both disturbing and worthy of criticism. As Colangelo explained to Chicago Tribune columnist Sam Smith, "Coach K and I were having dinner last summer and talking about ways to connect this team with America. We talked about engaging ourselves (with the military): 'Can this become their team? America's team?' It seemed like a natural." The two brought in people like Arizona Republican Senator John McCain and celebrated soldier Col. Robert Brown to speak about how, Smith wrote, "the military, like a basketball team, requires a unified, unselfish approach."
It is not surprising that Coach K loved the military angle. He's a graduate of West Point who led the Army squad for five years. And there is nothing new about coaches using the language of war to inspire a winning team. But how does "engaging with the military" translate in these troubled times? It means that Colangelo and Krzyzewski have brought out soldiers maimed and crippled by the war in Iraq to inspire their "troops" in high-tops. This has included Capt. Scott Smiley, who is now blind after a Mosul suicide car bombing sent shrapnel into his brain, and another, Sgt. Christian Steele, who had part of his hand blown off. As Smith wrote, "It was a more than subtle message that playing with 'USA' on your jersey means a lot more than trying to win a medal. And it seems to have produced the desired effect of breaking down individual team loyalties and more quickly uniting this American team."
The team, reportedly, was moved to tears. But there is something unnerving about these motivational tactics.
Etan Thomas, the power forward/center for the Washington Wizards, saw the military presentation on NBA TV and knew in his gut that it was wrong. He said to me, "I don't have a problem with the troops talking to the players on their own. But for them being brought in to build a better basketball team just feels wrong. If I was there, my reaction would have been completely different. The fact that…Scott Smiley has lost his sight would not have made me feel patriotic pride. It would have made me feel ashamed, angered and saddened that this soldier was blinded at the service of a war we shouldn't have been in in the first place."

Good lord, this is going to be a zoo. (Christian Newswire):
Randall Terry States: "A group of pro-life activists will get arrested – perhaps more than once – in order to draw focus to Obama's hard core support of child-killing. We will definitely be arrested on Tuesday, August 26 at a location to be announced – and perhaps sooner.
"We intend to be "Party Crashers" to disrupt a number of DNC events, including, but not limited to: the Interfaith Gathering; Opening Reception; African American Caucus; Hispanic Caucus; Women's Caucus; Faith Forum; the Opening of the DNC; and more.
…The schedule of protests can be seen at: www.humbleplea.com
Also, the brochures, "Real Solutions for the Negro Problem" and "Is it Immoral to Vote for Obama for President?" can be read at www.humbleplea.com
Not to be topped, the freaks from Operation Save America (founded by Terry), led by the unhinged Flip Benham, plan to be there. Flip and his crew of homophobes have descended on NC Pride in Durham for the last couple of years, and they didn't convert anyone — all everyone did was laugh at the ridiculous schtick. A video and pix are below the fold.
Denver should be a riot with peeps like these crashing the party.

COLORADO SPRINGS, May 16, 2011 /Christian Newswire/ -- Image Books, an imprint of Crown Publishing, announced plans today for a biography of New Yorker Richard John Neuhaus (1936-2009). A pastor, priest, writer, political advisor, and defender of the Church, Neuhaus was an influential figure in American public life from the Civil Rights era to the War on Terror. His writings, activism and connections to people of power, including Martin Luther King, Jr. and George W. Bush, secured a place for himself and his ideas at the center of recent American history. Not surprisingly, given his fierce candor, his ideas were not always welcomed. Indeed, Neuhaus was often attacked for his relentless efforts to advance his signal cause, which was to construct a religiously-informed public philosophy for the American experiment in ordered liberty. Still, he is considered by many to be one of the most important Catholic intellectuals of the last 100 years.
Neuhaus' biography is to be written by Randy Boyagoda, a critically-acclaimed novelist, critic and professor of American Studies based at Ryerson University in Toronto. Boyagoda has contributed to Harper's, The New York Times, National Review, First Things and other notable publications. "Neuhaus had an American life like no other," Boyagoda observes, "and I hope my book does service to that incredible life." Publication is set for September 2013.

avegant glyph headset is the latest gadget
The avegant glyph headset is a Cool design, futuristic concept and pretty awesome product with few drawbacks.
Take a significant time to adjust the avegant glyph headset controls and the positioning. You need to set the lens, nose pieces, rotating eye pieces ,brightness etc. Once you are set it gives the illusion that you just bought your own theater.
Video quality is one of best. I have multiple 360 gear where the video quality really poor. So my first expectations were not that high. But i was blown away by the how crystal clear image it provide. Since it uses immense number of micro mirror technology to display that explains the good image quality.
Unlike other VR you will struggle to find a visible pixel.
You can use it to watch pretty much everything TV, Xbox, play-station, movies, you tube, phone video. In other sense anything with standard HDMI cable. For your phone to work you have to buy HDMI converter which is usually cheap.I feel like wearing them is similar to having a 65-75 inch TV in your living room and it works really well.Another concern mostly people have is the battery power and it lasted pretty respectable 3 and 45 min.
One of the best use i found is for drone lovers. Just plug into HDMI cable into transmitter of the controller such as in DJI phantom and voila, you get to see everything the drone camera is capturing.
It still has the same issue as other VR gear in the market which is for how long you can use it before it start putting strain in your eyes, temple,nose etc.
My max time wearing them was 30 min, but those most of those minutes were worth wearing them. Another drawback i observed when you wear them as headphone the nose bridge in them looks really weird on your head.
Price is this product doesn't explains the usability. However if you have extra bucks lying around then this is one of the best gadget you can invest into. Audio quality is average, plays middle frequencies fine, struggle with lower ones. So in total you won't get the boomy sound like beats.
My Take: It´s a great product specially for the people who travel or for drone lovers. I believe the next iteration will be the one with most of the improvements and will be worth it.
Others cons: It is heavy, not usual headphone and it cost a lot.
Typical scenario for my usage in a day : I use it to watch you tube. Once in a while i play games on them, this is one of the best use i have for them as you will fell like you are in the game although not quite like 360 but it gives you pretty isolated environment
I have great hopes for this product in future.

skagit for spring creeks / small trout streams?
Posted 06 December 2017 - 07:53 AM
1--seems less disruptive of calm spring tail water and more effective than a roll cast for tight spaces, even with a dry fly or emerger
2-- seems easier to mend line to avoid drift-killing mid-stream currents
3-- cast weighted nymphs without sending them over your head and back
4-- easy to learn the basic casting technique
5-- can use regular fly fishing gear, just keep an extra spool of mono with appropriate skagit head/s, to switch back and forth between "normal" fly fishing and skagit even on the river with one rod and reel.
Now, this was at a casting pool with an OPST rep, and I only had about 15 minutes with it. I've read some posts by Rocco, siralspey, others who seem to be happy with the skagit methods and materials on non-spey equipment, but I'm hoping to get a sense of whether this might be as good an option as it seems even on spring creeks and small streams? And casting aside, one main concern I have is whether you still detect subtle takes and whether it impacts presentation. And can you really use it for extended periods on say a 4 weight 7.5' or 8' ordinary single handed fly rod?
Much thanks if anyone can chime in with experiences good or bad...
Posted 06 December 2017 - 10:56 AM
I built myself a dedicated skagit spey rod this past spring and have fallen in love with this style fishing over this summer. Mine is a 12ft rod, are you trying to do this on a single hand rod or are you going with a longer 12'ish dedicated two hander?
With my 12ft'er I find it perfect for mid-larger rivers. The skagit style cast with the sustained anchor and ripping the line off the water IMO is not ideal for smaller streams because it does disrupt the water a bit when the line is ripping off the water. On mid-larger streams it can't be beat though. Mending is very easy and you can get some real long drag free drifts with a long skagit rod. Being able to cast with no room behind you for a backcast is a huge plus. This year I had lots of new water open to me on a river I have fished for nearly 40 yrs just because with the skagit rod I could fish spots that had lots of trees/brush behind me.
Learning the cast isn't too hard. How I learned was I bought an Ed Ward Skagit Master dvd and watched that a few times before heading out to the river. There was still a learning curve and some days I felt more confident than others in my skagit casting but overall it wasn't that hard to be able to get the basics down the first couple trips with the spey rod.

8 foot 4 weight trout rod... Here are a couple videos re using what I think are 5 foot micro skagit floating heads on small streams and creeks, along the lines of what I was thinking...
Posted 06 December 2017 - 03:06 PM
You have some curious assumptions there about skagit style casting, none of which I agree with in this particular context. I do not find skagit casts to be 'less disruptive', it is actually harder to mend with many of the thin running lines, especially monofilament, line management complicates matters considerably, and because of the size of the heads and thin running lines strike detection and setting the hook are that much more difficult. These single handled skagit/spey rigs are really much more specialized tools than the vendors would like to admit. Not to say they are not fun to play with, just do not believe everything they are telling you.
As far as the advantage of no backcast, that can be solved with a few casting classes, especially ones that emphasize single handed spey techniques. With a little instruction and practice, you will be surprised how much water you can cover with just a simple roll cast or single spey. Rather than focusing on technology to solve the problem, especially on smaller waters, I would argue you should focus on technique which will probably solve most of your problems. In a small stream setting even in heavy cover I really do not have to boom casts to the far side, so there really is not reason to resort to such a limiting technique in my opinion.
The niche I like these lines for are in close conditions, medium to large rivers, and throwing wets or streamers. If fishing any other way, I can still cover more techniques with a standard rig on a one-handed rod and a long bellied floating fly line. Of course part of my bias is I always want to be able to use and indicator if necessary, and these trout spey rigs really are not designed for those sorts of presentations. YMMV.

The videos make it look kind of fun ... but it might not be very productive. Neither of the people in those videos caught a single fish !!!

If you were to ask my opinion on what line to buy to use for SH spey casting for dry fly and nymphing work on small to medium sized spring creeks I'd recommend a line with a long front taper more like a scandi taper. The three lines I fish right now in similar situations are the Rio SH spey line, Wulff triangle taper, and Airflo river and stream, and all would work very well in those situations. The Wulff and Airflo lines I'd upline a size or two, but the Rio is pretty spot on in line weight.
Of course almost any standard WF line would work just fine to learn to SH spey cast and there really is no need for a specialty line, but they sure do make it easier.
Posted 06 December 2017 - 10:38 PM
I guess I've shown my ignorance of all things spey... I had been operating under a misimpression that spey casting was for only the largest distance fly fishing for salmon and steelhead on the swing, with a highly specialized, enormous two handed rod with enormous open spaces to fish in. I hadn't thought much of it, because I've never done it; just pretty much stuck to streams and creeks, which I thoroughly enjoy and which suit me well. I hadn't realized that the "micro skagit" casting the rep was showing me was just a new iteration of a spey cast, on a different line setup.
Which brings me to a good place, however annoying it might have been getting here. End answer seems to be, learn how to roll cast more effectively (I'll trust it can be done), and learn how to single handed spey cast on a non-spey rod, with either a weight forward line or one of the three lines you mention. Much, much thanks, and apologies for asking foolish questions based on ignorant assumptions.
Maybe instead of buying stuff (I've already got a weight forward line) I'll just go hang out at the casting pool a bit this winter, maybe take some casting lessons, and take it from there.
Posted 06 December 2017 - 11:49 PM
I really like the mini spey skagit 3-4 wt combos on mid to larger waters. And they are very productive and efficient fish netters with soft hackles and smaller steamers but they are far from ideal in dry fly fishing and nymphing as mentioned in earlier posts. .
But in your application --small waters --the bulky Skagit lines are not the tools you want as they require tips and long leaders to avoid raucous splash downs and on really small streams you won't even get the full head out of the rod tip.
You are far better off mastering roll casts with a 3-4 wt DT on a shortish one hander for accuracy and delicate presentations up close. (You might try one/two line sizes heavier on those rods to drive the short roll casts with authority.) The roll cast is actually the foundation of all spey casts and with some work it can do just what you want on your waters.

I think the ease of getting distance with the skagit head blinded me a bit to its limitations.
I think you're over thinking both sides of the issue. Watching those videos, it looks like a great way to fish the tight quarters environment of small woodland creeks. Also on the video, they don't seem to be making much more commotion than any other fly line.
Since those type creeks don't get much pressure (few people can cast in there, right?), any splashing of a heavier line probably won't spook the fish. I've watched fish pick the bark off a branch that had JUST fallen in the water ... a thin fly line isn't going to cause much alarm.
I've also watched the wake from a fish that rocketed towards a badly landed, plopped down fly.
I know, trout are so much smarter than the fish I see ...
Try it ... you're only out a few bucks and you might like it more than anything else you've done.

Can some one explain (in 20th century American) what is skagit and for that matter spey as pertains to casting? Ran accross these terms some while back and never really figured them out other than buzz words? I watched a couple hours of utubes and all I saw of spey casting looked exactly how I was taught to roll cast back in the day. Can't recall what the skagit difference was from shooting head?
I recall spey as a type of salmon fly unless I'm more confused than normal.

I recall spey as a type of salmon fly unless I'm more confused than normal.
The word spey comes from the river these long two handed rods and lines where developed for casting on. All two handed cast can be done with a long true spey line up to 100 feet, scandi lines with heads up to 45-60 feet and skagit heads up 20-35 feet. Skagit comes from the west coast guys casting heavy flies with heavy sink tips in tight quarters for steelhead. It can be confusing to alot of people. I am still learning.
People have been developing these short micro skagit heads to use with shorter two handed or switch rods and to use on single handed rods. If you learn to cast these short heads on single handed rods, they can be an effective tool on every creek, stream, or lake. I will agree with others in the fact these lines are not good for drys or euro nymphing. If you plan on doing this in tight cover, I suggest using a Tenkara rod instead. You will be amazed.
I wish I could cast half as good as the women in the first video. She makes it look like a piece of cake. As with any casting, practice always helps. If you give it a try, I recommend picking the rod you want and find a dealer that will let you try out some demo lines. Everyones casting is a little different and we may need a heavier or lighter line than others. Do not let others discourage you from giving it a try if that is what you want to try. Life can be boring living it as everyone else would.
Posted 07 December 2017 - 05:49 PM
Yes, spey flies are flies used for salmon (and steelhead). They were developed on the river spey, just like the casting style.
Posted 07 December 2017 - 09:01 PM
"Unlike the good old roll cast, which is basically in and out on the same plane," I have seen that and just thought the caster was inexperienced, probably a back caster.
I guess I learned spey casting back in the 70s then, but all the fly rod men that I ever fished around called it roll casting, They all double hauled and fed/shot line on every roll cast but it involved working the line in multidirections before the actual presentation roll. Similar to some of the "one hand spey" videos. Old Jean told me "bounce the line off the water, boy it'll go farther", he could roll cast (or maybe spey cast) a DT9 to the backing.
I remember reading about those Spey river rods and flies, I had forgotten about the rods, but one of the books had a short chapter on them,16' long? I thought it was history/slash background to the fancy salmon flies. Long time since I read about that.
So, scandi (another new word) and skagit are basically names for special tapers of shooting heads?
thanks Prybis and Spirialspey ; the discussions mean more if you have an idea what they are about.
oh, "switch rods"? another new to me term, you said two handed are these very long rods, like the spey and if so how are they different?

Sam Laidlaw, chief executive of British Gas owner Centrica, has hit back at government plans to impose controls on pre-payment tariffs for gas and electricity.
The Chancellor, Alistair Darling, is expected to use his first Budget this week to force companies to cap bills for those in fuel poverty. The measure is part of a package being discussed with companies and comes after talks last week failed to reach a conclusion.
Ideas to alleviate fuel poverty included a windfall tax and a voucher system but neither has so far been adopted. However, Mr Darling is expected to use existing legislation to narrow the gap between pre-paying customers, whom he believes are mostly poorer households, and customers who pay by direct debit. This would require companies to spend more of their turnover - currently less than 1pc - on supporting poorer customers.
Mr Laidlaw, who serves 16m customers through British Gas, warned that such extraordinary intervention from government could threaten market dynamics.
Meanwhile, energy regulator Ofgem said that, while such a move would save pre-payment customers £106 a year, it would push up the bills of those in fuel poverty who paid in cash or by direct debit, "effectively robbing Peter to pay Paul".
About 3.8m people, or 14pc of users, pre-pay for electricity and about 2.3m pre-pay for gas. But, says Ofgem, just 20pc of pre-payment meter users are classified as fuel poor - where more than 10pc of income is spent on energy bills.
The watchdog also denied that the Government's proposed intervention was a sign that the UK energy market was uncompetitive. Ofgem has said there is no evidence for this but its investigation will include taking evidence from pre-pay customers.
As the largest provider, British Gas has advocated more targeted assistance, warning that being forced to match pre-payment prices to direct debit tariffs would push the company into a loss.
Earlier this year, Centrica posted a five-fold increase in profits just weeks after British Gas increased bills by 15pc.
Speaking at a conference yesterday, Mr Laidlaw said: "There is a worrying tendency towards short term fiscal interventions, or now from some quarters, even price controls for some groups of customers.
"Such intervention is contrary to the operation of competitive markets, threatens to de-stabilise investor confidence and risks jeopardising construction of the critical power generation and gas supply infrastructure we need."

Toulon to͞olôN´ [key], city (1990 pop. 170,167), Var dept., SE France, in Provence, on the Mediterranean Sea. An important commercial port and industrial center, Toulon is France's principal naval center on the Mediterranean shipbuilding and ship repairing are major industries. Chemicals, machinery, furniture, and cork are also produced. Toulon is also a growing center for aerospace and other related industries. Toulon first achieved eminence as a hostel for errant Crusaders during the Middle Ages. The city was fortified by Vauban in the 17th cent. and was the scene of many historic naval battles, including the Battle of 1793 in which the royalists surrendered the city to the English. The same year the young Napoleon Bonaparte gained distinction by retaking the city for the French. After 1815, Toulon became the center of French naval power. During World War II much of the French fleet was scuttled (1942) to avoid its capture by the Germans. Although it suffered considerable damage during World War II, the city has preserved the fortifications by Vauban and the Church of St. Marie Majeure (17th–18th cent.).

Binghampton is located about 5 miles north of Mayer along route 69. It is located on the Mayer topo. map. To get there you do not necessarily need a 4Wheel drive vehicle unless you have to use the alternate rout through the creek to get there. Although it would help to get around the area.
Issac Stoddard worked the area for many years, with the earliest report of activity I could find being 1902. It was taken over from him and a mill was erected on site in 1916 and worked steadly till 1923. There were millions of tons of copper and thousands of ounces of silver taken from the mines during this period. It was worked off and on till the war and was reopened to full production with the help of government money from 1944 - 1947, with over a million lbs of copper being taken from the mine. There have been several attempts to start up production since then, including the dewatering of one of the shafts and drilling exploratory holes in the mid 60's,but nothing has come of them.
Head north on I-17 to route 69 and head west toward Prescott. About 8.2 miles after you cross over the highway you will take a right. This will be onto Central Ave, just after the the smokestack and across from circle K in Mayer. Set trip meter to 0.00 after you cross the cattle guard.
If you have to take the creek, once out of the creek, the road goes by a block building and set back and to the right some white tailings piles. When that road ends take a right to get to Binghampton.
As you enter Binghampton the road will split. The road going right will take you over to the Copper Queen mine and the chute I have as an image on this page. The one that goes to the left will take you to the mill foundation and a shaft right in front of it. This road will go around the mountain to the main shaft and other shafts and adits. Be carefull approaching the main shaft as there is a bee's nest in it.
You will be able to drive right up to the top of mountain or drive up to the digs you see on the west side of the mountain. On the Copper Queen side, there are some adits along the road if you look closely enough. The road also will take you to the chute. Both upper and lower ends of the chute.

Remember Me
Hi all,
This weekend, our internal tournament will start.In this tournament, we will try to set best recs on tracks of all kinds: mini, tech, speed. After a period of 10 days, we will count scores (1st place 10, 2nd 9,...) and determine the winner of our first internal cup.
The winner will receive a great price, which might be hard to see (an invisible one) but most importantly: fame :D
Check all about it on our board.
Hi all
We try to sent out a newsletter to all our members once a month. With this initiative we try to inform our members about upcoming wars, competitions, events or just inform everyone of new features, score results and many more.
Should you not yet have received such an email, then add our mail address (this is info[at]worm[dash]team[dot]be) to your safe senders list (or white list).When you did not receive it, you can also reread the latest newsletters on our board. Just scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the newsletters link
Hello everyone
At the moment we created the epiQ subteam, we thought we should have a new site, using the new logo and a fresh design.After some weeks of hard work, we finally managed to get the design complete.
So, we are proud to release our new website, wit a new fresh look and hopefully more intuitive and a better structure.We provided a new join and war request form and if any issues occur, we will fix them as soon as possible.
We now also have more possibilities with the new CMS and can update you even more quickly with recent news than before.
Finally, I would like to thank everyone for the feedback given during the design.
Hi all,Since the recent Nadeo changes for our Nations players, we have quite some inactive members.Because of this, we are recruiting new members. But what are we looking for?Well, first of all WoRM wants to focus on driving more competitions and/or wars. So we are looking for members who are into this and want to participate in those things and train for those races.Next, we need motivated people, driving regularly and not for just 1 month and then quitting the game. So, if you want to join, then fill out the Join Us form. We will get back to you with a join tag and invite you for a test soon after.If you are recruiting people: please tell them to mention your name in the comments field of the join form ;)Kind regardsNite

Watch the full video on Brooklyn Park's history
The Brooklyn Park Youth Violence Prevention Initiative (YVPI) is a partnership between the Police and Recreation and Parks Departments to prevent youth violence.
As part of the initiative, police officers were teamed into a Community Response Unit and a new police sub-station was built to serve the high crime area of the Zane Avenue Corridor. After school recreation activities were also offered at the Zanewood Recreation Center and the Community Activity Center, which are now hubs for recreational activities that serve more than 5,000 teens a year. Partnerships with other youth organizations, such as the YMCA, bring in programs as well, while also coordinating the case management of juveniles who need more intense intervention strategies.
To effectively address the epidemic of juvenile crime, the YVPI declared that Brooklyn Park must address youth violence as a development issue. The theory is that by increasing positive opportunities for young people to be engaged in quality afterschool programs, the City would see a decrease in juvenile crime and victimization.
The initiatives objectives:
African American male youth workers are mentors to young people who attend after school programs at the city's recreation centers. They provide a safe haven for escaping street and family violence. Hundreds of recreational activities offered year round provide opportunities for youth to explore new talents, socialize with peers, work on homework and connect with adult mentors.
Brooklyn Park's Mayor, Jeffrey Lunde, was invited to attend the Cities United conference in 2014 as part of President Obama's launching of his initiative to curb violence among African American men and boys. City staff from the Recreation and Parks, Administration and Police Departments also represented Brooklyn Park with the mayor.
African American male and female YMCA staff members provide one-on-one case management to youth who are referred by police, teachers or youth workers witnessing the first signs of getting off track. Many of the issues deal with school, criminal activity, family violence, fights or negative behavior. Curfew is strictly enforced to get young people off the streets to reduce the chances they become victims of crime.
Police provide gang intervention and work to get guns off the streets and out the hands of youth. Disorderly conduct violations are down 76 percent, a good indicator for early intervention strategies.
Staff works with youth who have become involved in the juvenile justice system- showing them ways to change their path by helping connect them to supportive services, recreational opportunities or employment.
School Resource Officers (SRO) from the Police Department play a critical role in bridging kids with their families and school to stay on track to graduate. Community Resource Unit Police Officers interact with juveniles on the streets, at apartment complexes or recreation center programs, to build relationships with them while not in school.
The YMCA's after school "Broader Urban Involvement Leadership Development Program" (BUILD) teaches young people skills in conflict resolution, goal setting and healthy decision making.
Social workers, teachers, youth workers, and school resource officers work together to identify the most at-risk youth for the program. Young children attend after school activities and summer day camps at recreation centers. Healthy socialization, teamwork, and fun are emphasized. Families also benefit by participating in programs and events at the recreation center that bring adults and their children together for fun and enjoyment.
Data indicates the array of prevention programs, coupled with innovative new policing strategies is having an impact on youth violence. In the past five years crime has dropped by 39 percent and youth participation in after school activities has increased by 62 percent.
Cities and school districts are working together to reduce the risk of young people being involved in violence. This group, called the Brooklyn Bridge Alliance (BBA) for Youth brings together public entities which share a common interest of youth in Brooklyn Park and Brooklyn Center. All members of the BBA provide positive youth development opportunities during after school hours. The mayors of Brooklyn Park and Brooklyn Center lead the group.

Obituary: Liam Flood, poker player and tournament organiser
Dara O'Kearney recalls the poker player and tournament organiser who oversaw growth of the Irish Open
Liam Flood's wikipedia page describes him as a bookmaker and professional poker player, but for as long as I knew Liam he was adamant that he was not a poker professional. He took the game up relatively late, enjoyed it, and achieved more than many self-proclaimed professionals, but always saw it as a hobby.
He was closing in on his 50s when he won the Irish Open for the first time in 1990, and had passed into them when he became one of only a handful of players to win it for a second time in 1996. A unique third victory eluded him, but he never stopped trying, and on his last outing last year he cashed and got within spitting distance of the final table.
By the time TV poker got going in this part of the world, Liam already looked like a grandad, even if he played more like a fearless internet kid.
He figured out the optimal strategy for the fast TV tournaments, and was arguably the most successful player ever in them. In 1997 he won the European championship in London, defeating Devilfish heads-up. The following year saw him finish second in Paris in the Euro Final of poker.
In 1999, he won the very first episode of Late Night Poker, and the following year also made the final table.
Over the course of the next 10 years, he regularly made the final table of big TV tournaments (his record in heats was phenomenal, as he won more than he lost), culminating with a win in 2006 in the European Open (winning his heat, his semi and then the final).
The following year, he finished fourth in the biggest TV tournament of them all, the Poker Million, having won his heat and safely navigated through the semi-final. He final-tabled the Million again the next year, and this time chopped it four ways with three other Irishmen (Marty Smyth, Eoghan O'Dea and Ciaran O'Leary).
All these results added up to a career that sees him currently ranked number nine on the All-Time Irish money list with lifetime winnings well in excess of $1m. Not bad for a self-professed amateur.
Liam's other great contribution to poker in Europe was as a tournament organiser.
As both a bookmaker and a poker player, Liam started out as sidekick to the legendary Terry Rogers (generally credited as being the man who brought tournament poker to Europe).
Liam took over the running of the Irish Open after Terry died and oversaw its growth from its humble origins of three or four tables in the Eccentrics Club to Europe's largest and most prestigious poker tournament.
As news of his death last weekend spread, tributes poured in not just from Ireland but also from abroad, none more apposite than top English player Jamie Burland's "RIP the Gentleman Liam Flood. Games just got a little tougher and far more organised in Heaven".

Run outs continued to haunt Australia's batting as they edged 48 runs ahead of Sri Lanka with four first innings wickets remaining on the second day of the third Test in Sydney on Friday.
The Australians threatened to bat the hapless tourists out of the Test, only for Ed Cowan and Mike Hussey, playing in his farewell Test match, to be run out in chaotic mix-ups between the wickets.
That made it four run outs in the three-Test series against the Sri Lankans and topscorer Phil Hughes said it was a glitch that would have to be addressed going forward for Australia's coming series against India and England this year.
"There were two run-outs today. I think that's four in the series. That's something we've got to look at going forward," said Hughes, who scored 87.
"It's never nice to be run out, especially in Test cricket, the big moments. That's something we've got to address going forward."
Run outs continue to haunt Australia
Run outs continued to haunt Australia's batting as they edged 48 runs ahead of Sri Lanka with four first innings wickets remaining on the second day of the third Test in Sydney on Friday.
Hussey was given a guard of honour by the applauding Sri Lankan players as he came out to bat in his 79th and final Test after announcing his retirement from international cricket.
But the 37-year-old veteran lasted 51 balls before he was needlessly run out in possibly his final Test innings for 25 as Michael Clarke took off for a quick single.
Dimuth Karunaratne scored a direct hit with his throw at the striker's end and a desperate Hussey failed to make his ground.
Clarke looked back in horror from the bowler's end as he sacrificed the wicket of his batting partner amid the emotion of his farewell Test.
Opener Cowan also ran himself out for four inside the opening half hour when he hesitated going for a second run and was beaten to the bowler's end by Nuwan Pradeep's throw.
It was the third time in Tests that Cowan has been involved in a run out and twice he himself has been run out.
"It's never nice to get run out but we know that's cricket at the end of the day," Hughes said of the Hussey dismissal.
"You could tell even looking from the side, Pup (Clarke) was obviously disappointed."
Asked what could be done to rectify the self-destructing running between wickets, Hughes said:
"Call louder and clearer? Seriously though, It's something we'll talk about after the series.
"Three (run outs) for the top three and four in the series. It's something we've got to look at going forward and stop that."

This cube craft paper toy is Kushi, the rice-growing, sake-brewing young woman living in Kamiki Village, based on the action-adventure video game series Okami, the papercraft created by scarykurt. Kushi is very gentle and soft-spoken, for the most part, and is the first true human friend to Amaterasu. She is the wife of Susano and later adopted a son named Kuni.
Kushi wears a yellow and red kimono patterned with rice grains on the sleeves, as well as a red hakama, presumably to keep her kimono clean as she works to make sake. Her long kimono sleeves are tied at the bottoms for the same reason. She wears three bales of rice on her head to mark her status as a sake maker.
When she is selected as Orochi's sacrifice victim, she wears a white and light blue formal funeral kimono to the battle.
Kushi is a kind and gentle soul. She is one of the first humans that Amaterasu meets and straight from the start she is affectionate and kind to her. She will always run up to Amaterasu and give her a few rubs even without being bloomed.
Kushi has a very strong belief in the Gods, she believes that they will save her from being the Orochi's sacrifice and she never doubts for a minute that they won't help her. We also find out that because of this Kushi knew that Amaterasu was the Sun God and could see her red markings all along. We find this out after she has been saved from the Orochi's grasp and she has known ever since Amaterasu fixed her water wheel.
Kushi is also very patient. She easily puts up with Susano's laziness and other antics. She also is the only one not to get angry at him for drinking all of the 8 Purification Sake instead she uses her quick thinking to think of another plan.
She is very finally very trusting. She puts faith in the gods to keep her safe and she trusts that Susano will come to her rescue and fight off the Orochi.
Her role in the beginning is simply to make sake, something she does extremely well, as many of the villagers comment upon its legendary quality. A jug of Kushi's sake inspires Susano to finally make his way out of his basement and remove the boulder blocking in the village. Later, for the Kamiki Festival, she works to make the legendary 8 Purification Sake made from water at the sacred spring in Agata Forest where Issun and Amaterasu meet her again on their hunt for The Eight Canine Warriors, attempting to fill a huge water barrel with the sacred Hitoshio Spring water and bring it back to Kamiki. When Susano drinks the entire stock of sacred sake shortly before the festival, Kushi brings forth her famous Thunder Brew.
As Orochi grows more powerful, Kushi's role in the story becomes important when she is selected by him to be the all-important maidenly sacrifice that will bring him back to power. Although at first, Susano will not come out from his house, Kushi bravely heads off, trusting him to come save her in the end, carried on the back of Amaterasu and bearing a jug of the leftover Thunder Brew that she hopes to use to intoxicate Orochi so she can be rescued. After her rescue, she and Susano finally express their love for each other; they spend a quiet night in the Cave of Nagi during the rest of the Kamiki Festival. After the Festival, she remains in Kamiki Village, working on the sake for next year, offering support for Susano, and her usual kind words to Amaterasu and Issun.

Communicating in Black and White2 11 Share Tweet
Unlike colored photos, black and white photos do not draw your attention with colors. In most cases, the composition, subject, and perspective are what to look for when viewing a black and white photo.
There's just something dramatic and mysterious with black and white photos. Up until the 1930's, photos were taken in black and white. Some might even associate black and white photos to history, and photos in color to the more modern times. The contrast in black and white photos add depth and character to the image, and in some cases this makes the outcome better.
For budding photographers, black and white is the way to go. Doing this will allow you to concentrate on the subject and composition, rather than worry about the capturing colors. Go out and shoot at different times, lighting conditions, and locations. And remember that the best way to learn is to experiment. As time passes, you'll be amazed at the images that you come up with. To give you a bit of inspiration, view some of the stunning black and white photos from our community.
So, what are you waiting for? Go capture some moments in monochrome! But before you do, check out the shop for black and white films!

Safety Is Crucial To Home Buyers
Safety, perceived value and a location close to shopping or transportation are the most important factors Ontarians consider when buying a home, according to new research commissioned by the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA).
The survey shows that 93% Ontario residents say safety (e.g. low-crime area, building security) is important when considering properties, 85% list perceived value of the home (i.e. considered a good buy based on market and amenities) as a top consideration and 80% want the home to be close to amenities (e.g. shopping, transportation, etc.).
"Security, both physical and financial, is top of mind for Ontarians," says Ron Abraham, president of the OREA.
Other findings from the survey:
- 65% of respondents age 18-34 rank quality of local schools as an important factor when buying a home, while less than half (48%) of people aged 35-54 said it is important.
- 80% of younger Ontarians (ages 18-34) say a property close to work is an important factor when buying a new home, dropping to 65% for those in the 35-54 age group.
- Of those who specifically plan to buy a home in the next year, safety and perceived value are top factors, but 85% also indicate ongoing home maintenance required for a property (amount of yard work, fees for condo management, etc.) is an important consideration.
- When asked which type of home they'd prefer to buy, more than a third say they'd prefer a resale home that's move-in ready (39%); 26% say they'd like a home needing only minor renovations; and only 5% say they would want a home that needs a major renovation.
- Across Ontario, 19% say they would want a newly built home; this number rose to 24% for people in the GTA.
"If you have a number of must-haves when looking at homes, it will inevitably increase the price of your purchase," says Abraham. "Homebuyers should have a frank conversation with their realtor about what is vital and what would be nice to have."

Hello,A position of 6 shares of "LKIF" appeared in my Ameritrade brokerage account on 9/21/07. The transaction description was "Non-taxable spin off/liquidation." I also received a small dividend in mid january of this year. I cannot find any information whatsoever on this ticker symbol and have no idea where it came from. Does anyone have any information on LKIF?
Ok, I found out a little more information. LKIF is a result of a spinoff from a June '07 Wild Card company called Ito En (ITOEF.PK) back in Sept of last year. The problem is that I can't find any information about LKIF, what exchange it trades on, or any other details on the spinoff.Does anyone know anything about this stock?Thanks,Topspin
Topspin I can't find a shred of evidence of LKIF's existence. Are you sure that it's floated?Rgds,Emmet
Hi Deej,I'm not sure why Ameritrade has used LKIF to represent the preferred shares spinoff of Ito EN. I can't find any references to LKIF anywhere and I'm moderately skilled at scouring the interslice via search engines.These preferred shares only trade on the Tokyo exchange, which Ameritrade doesn't have direct access to. So LKIF is basically a placeholder. The actual ticker is 25935 or 2593p depending on what site you use to look up the quote. The only place I can find a quote is here:http://advance.quote.nomura.co.jp/meigara/nomura2/quote.cgi?F=english/equote&QCODE=25935&MKTN=TUnfortunately excel web queries to this page don't work so I am unable to import the price into my tracking spreadsheet.
After some trial and error, I was finally able to import, extract, and convert the quote into US dollars.In case anyone else has to do this in the future, I used the link I provided earlier and imported the three tables containing the stock information. I extracted the quote by using the following formula:"=MID(A133,FIND("price",A133)+5,FIND("(",A133)-FIND("price",A133)-5)"where A133 contains the stock embedded inside like so:"Recent price1215(14:59) -65 -5.07 %"
