|Gear Talk - Fly Stuff Spoken Here Sage advice & fresh perspectives
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Back in the 70's my Scouts gave me a staff made from a sweet birch (red birch) sapling. It's as tall as my shoulder and has a top knob shaped like the totems on Easter Island. It's very sturdy yet sensitive and flexible enough to allow me to "feel" through it. Granted, it was presented to accompany me on hiking trips, but it's served me very well on many fresh water trips since.
If anyone so chooses, making one mandates the length be at least the height of your shoulder. You may choose to go longer. Allow the staff to dry in indirect sun or dry shaded areas, so as not to warp or crack. Waterproofing and embellishment/decoration are your choice.
Mine also serves me very well as a multi-use camping implement. Your mileage may vary.

I'm bringing this thread back to the top of the list because yesterday the front page of my local paper had pictures of the rescue of a person who fell into the Nashua river. Which got me to thinking of wading safety.
Then today I receieved an E-mail of the new material on the Fish and Fly web site. One of the new items is directions for making a telescoping wading staff. The Url is http://www.fishandfly.co.uk/tledit0401.html.
Has anyone made their own telescoping wading staff?

RE:Wading Staffs
Plenty pictures but no Scanner as yet as soon as I get access to one I'll get in touch.
RE:Wading Staffs
Willie -
I appreciate the clarification. The pvc/lead must really give the staff a stationary foot when not in use. It's a good idea and something I plan to try.
Any good ideas from the land that brought single malts, Spey casting, and golf to the world is OK by me!
BTW - I would love to post some images of the famous Spey... do you have any I could put up on the site?
|Willie Gunn
RE:Wading Staffs
Hi Juro.
I didn't explain myself very well did I. The bottom six inches of the staff is enclosed in PVC pipe (as a plumber would use ) lead is then poured in to the space then the rubber foot is pushed over the end.
Does that make sense to you I know what I mean I hope it sense.
RE:Wading Staffs
Willie -
Interesting to learn about the lead weighting of the staff on the Spey... is it weighted just in the rubber foot or throughout the staff? I see how weighting the staff allows it to behave more in the current.
Staff handling while fishing was always a little bit of a nuisance for me, but Tyler Kushnir of British Columbia showed me a pretty neat trick. The staff is on a tether rope, attached to the belt. The rope is set to a length such that the staff can be thrown over the shoulder, hanging behind you neatly and out of the way. To continue wading, simply pull the staff to the front using the rope attached to the belt.

RE:Wading Staffs
I am a Scottish fisherman usually fish the Spey which is the fastest flowing river in Britain. I always use a wading stick traditionaly made by the Ghillie. Harness, rubber foot heavily weighted with lead.
Designed so when you let it go iy lies flat so it doesn't catch your line.
Disadvantages weight
Advantages Allows deep wading in heavy water to cover salmon which are normally out of reach.
How deep do I wade ? Till I can cover as many fish as possible, yes I do wear a life jacket.
RE:Wading Staffs
I understand that we are talking about river wading. However, I think an issue that comes up for me when fishing the salt is somewhat pertinent here.
In an attempt to reach breaking fish I quite typically inch forward into deeper and deeper water; most of the time, I'm not even aware I'm doing this. Eventually I arrive at a point of diminishing returns -- that is, a point where I lose casting form and leverage on the rod, and distance starts to suffer. I find I can actually get the fly further out by backing up a few feet thereby increasing the percentage of my body that is above the water's surface. The margin for this point is pretty narrow. One or two inches is all it takes.
For me, the point of casting melt down is right at my belly button. I'm 5' 9" with very short legs (29" inseem). I imagine taller fishers have a significant advantage here, especially if they have long legs. (Perhaps this explains the extraordinary fish catching abilities of the Estey brothers
My point here is that sometimes wading deep is actually the wrong thing to do regardless of any safety issues. This doesn't take into account such problems as room to back cast, but it is something to keep in mind on big water with open space.
RE:Wading Staffs
For me in static water, within an inch or two of the top of my waders for traversing; about waist high or a little more for fishing. I don't like to hold my arms up in the air too long while I'm fishing.
In moving water, assuming a fair current, waist high plus for traversing; waist high for fishing.
A gentler current might allow me to push those limits some while a heavy current makes me tend to gear back a bit.
RE:Wading Staffs
Wondering: How deep people consider the limit. Or, how high up is the water to your chest, in both static and moving water?
RE:Wading Staffs
I'd be happy to elaborate. In my opinion, a wading staff should be used to add safety and security to your wading not as a crutch to help you go beyond your normal abilities. Use it to check depth and add safety when wading slippery, uneven bottoms. Stability when wading is determined by the amount of weight you have above the water line. To use a staff to wade into deeper water then you would normally be able to wade into is putting the angler (and potential rescuers) at risk.
I let the young, bold waders try to reach those few fish I can't safely get too. Why risk a dangerous situation trying too reach every fish in the river? Too use a staff to cross the line between safety and high risk is, in my opinion, using a staff improperly.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a wuss on the river, but as you indicated in your message, you have to avoid crossing that line into high risk. Learning to use a staff properly is more then just picking up a stick and walking into the water. It's too easy to get a false sense of security and end up in a dangerous, life threatening situation.
I rate a wading staff as the second most important safety item to have with you when you wade. (Polaroid glasses are number one).
That's just one man's opinion.
RE:Wading Staffs
KevinH said:
"If you allow yourself to wade into dangerous situations when using a staff, you're defintely not using the staff properly."
Kevin -
First of all let me say how good it is to have an Ausable outfitter in our community. I sincerely hope we can exchange trips with you sometime.
As I read your post I recall my wading experience on the Thompson River in BC with Tyler, Brian and Bill last month. In case you missed the partial trip report, here's a link. I am finishing up the whole enchilada in a Destinations article called "living large" (almost done).
Anyway, can you elaborate on what you said above? I found myself being very confident with the staff and had to remind myself not to go too far. I became a huge believer from that trip BTW.
RE:Wading Staffs
I use one of two staffs that I have. The first choice is a wooden staff that is homemade. Its quiet, sturdy and inexpensive. Its made from Ironwood which will not "bugger up" on the end from constant contact with rocks as other woods will.
The other is a Prostaff 4 piece with a rubber tip. Actually in its short life, it has had several rubber tips. This is lightweight and packable, but thats about all the good things I can say about it. The rubber tips either pull off after getting stuck between rocks, or they wear through where the end of the metal pole contacts the rubber tip inside. It just cuts a plug out of the rubber tip sort of like a long handled cookie cutter. It also has a tendency to pull apart at times when it gets stuck between rocks. I definitely wade very carefully when using this staff.
I always use a staff when wading the West Branch of the Ausable. Not only does it normally have a strong current, but it's paved with greased bowling balls. If you allow yourself to wade into dangerous situations when using a staff, you're defintely not using the staff properly.
As for it getting in the way when fishing, two tips might help. One, be certain the lanyard is attached in the top of the staff so it lies straight downstream from you. That way the line will slide off the staff as you strip and is less likely to get tangled up on it.
Secondly, if you can't do the first, then attach a long enough lanyard so that you can run the cord up in front of your left shoulder, around your neck, in front of your right shoulder and under your arm (assuming you're a right handed caster). Then when you strip in the line its on the other side of your body and alot less likely to get tangled on the staff.
And speaking of right handed casting, has anyone seen the commercial for I believe its Jeep where they show glimpses of a fly fisherman. In the first shot he's starting his backcast and the rod is in his left hand, and the next shot he's finishing his forward cast and the rod is in his right hand? Its a neat trick that I haven't quite mastered yet.
RE:Wading Staffs
I can appreciate the convenience of lightweight wading staffs (staves?) but I would suggest you also consider the security that can be provided by a heavily-weighted staff. Combined with a suitable retractor (hammerhead) the staff can be kept completely out of the way of the line and yet remains close at hand. In the UK Sharpes supply such a staff. A rubber button is essential with this design.
Falkus explains the rationale better than I can in his book "Salmon Fishing".
RE:Wading Staffs
I use an old cross country ski pole made out of cane (not metal). I cut it down so that I grip the handle waist high... I have used taller and shorter ones and feel that waist high is the way to go. If the staff is to tall then I don't feel safe enough in tough water (like the St. Lawrence River). If it's shorter I tend to lean too much on it.
The plastic grip has an old leather strap on it where I attach a short bungy cord. The other end of the bungy attaches to my wading belt, so that I'm always connected. If it really starts getting in the way I can then tuck it inside my (stretchy)wading belt behind my back. I find that I prefer to have the full length staff available if I'm in rough water, so many times I just let it dangle and grab it when I want to move, even if it's for a few steps.
I have added a rubber plug to it, to make it quieter while wading.

Oh Oh------This is not good!Obama authorizes US action in Syria
The White House disclosed for the first time Thursday that Syria's president deployed deadly chemical weapons against rebels.
Major response after 'red line' crossed
__________________________________________________ _________________
U.S. officials have concluded that the Syrian regime of president Bashar al-Assad has used chemical weapons against rebel fighters, the New York Times reported on Thursday.
Congressional sources told CNN that investigators concluded that Syria has used chemical weapons multiple times.
In a statement released on Thursday, the White House says U.S. intelligence concluded that the Assad regime used chemical weapons, including the nerve agent Sarin, against rebel fighters in the last year.
The statement continues:
Our intelligence community has high confidence in that assessment given multiple, independent streams of information. The intelligence community estimates that 100 to 150 people have died from detected chemical weapons attacks in Syria to date; however, casualty data is likely incomplete. While the lethality of these attacks make up only a small portion of the catastrophic loss of life in Syria, which now stands at more than 90,000 deaths, the use of chemical weapons violates international norms and crosses clear red lines that have existed within the international community for decades. We believe that the Assad regime maintains control of these weapons. We have no reliable, corroborated reporting to indicate that the opposition in Syria has acquired or used chemical weapons.
The White House reiterates that President Obama has designated the use of chemical weapons as a red line and that the U.S. will increase its assistance to the opposition.
"Our intelligence community now has a high confidence assessment that chemical weapons have been used on a small scale by the Assad regime in Syria. The President has said that the use of chemical weapons would change his calculus, and it has," the statement says.
National Security Council deputy advisor Ben Rhodes said on Thursday that the President Obama reached a decision on what the new support for the Syrian opposition would look like. According to Buzzfeed, Rhodes said: "The president has made a decision "about what kind of additional support will be provided to the rebels. It will be "direct support to the SMC [Supreme Military Command] that includes military support." Rhodes added that no decision has been made on the institution of a no-fly zone.

This is the fixing of a post gone missing. Back (forever ago) when I first posted this fun little review I was unsure how to tell you about this little accessory. I was contacted by two companies that had the same type of product. With homework... I found out more than I wanted to know about the two companies and there past relationship. Not wanting to be brought into the middle of things I tried to share both links and leave the choice up to you if you wanted this product. I think they both ended up hating me and my review. I still stand by this little product. Its a fun accessory. I keep one in my school bag and use if often, so still a great product. You can get this item for this site by Trash Ties or from this one called Knotheads. I use both and I don't know which is which any more--- they are the EXACT same thing.
This is a fast hair do and you can whip it out in just a few minutes if you want. And we were in a hurry the day we did this, but its great. You start by picking up a small section near the face.
And twist your accessory (Trash Ties or Knotheads) in at the start.
And wrap the accessory around the hair. You continue this until you get to the back part of the hair.
You should have a lot of the accessory still hanging out, just leave it alone for a minute while you do the other side.
I don't have matching colors, but having two different colors works too. Pull the two sections together.

Here are some ideas i have for saga figures, any of you guys like these or have any of your own?
Deluxe Yoda *Hangar Duel (Blurry)* - you know, a Yoda w/ lots of articulation to put him in that spinning saber ball of death. and at attachble motion blur action accessory.
Mace Windu *Arena Battle* - no primal scream facial feature, and how about ball/socket in one arm so we can do that cool deflection that he does against that commander battle droid.
Deluxe Cook Droid - the one that says "hey, no droids" with all those arms and a bunch of utensils and maybe some food items, and a counter to work at.
Poggle The Lesser - including a holoplate w/ the Death Star projected outward, and maybe a ceremonial staff or something.
Hermi Odle - Just look at this guy, make him one of the larger saga figures like Dexter, i dont care what he comes with, just make him.
J'Quille - Make a J'Quille!!!!
Ponda Boba *Cantina Confrontation* With removable arm and bloody stump, a blaster or something and maybe a drink.
Borsk Feyla EU - c'mon hasbro lets see your interpretation of the Bothans.

Here is the quote of what Costas's rant said:
Costas said:Writer Jason Whitlock, with whom I do not always agree but today said it so well that we may as well just quote or paraphrase from the end of his article.
Our current gun culture, Whitlock wrote, ensures that more and more domestic disputes will end in the ultimate tragedy, and that more convenience-store confrontations over loud music coming from a car will leave more teenage boys bloodied and dead.'
Handguns do not enhance our safety. They exacerbate our flaws, tempt us to escalate arguments, and bait us into embracing confrontation rather than avoiding it.
In the coming days, Jovan Belcher's actions and their possible connection to football will be analyzed. Who knows? But here, wrote Jason Whitlock, is what I believe: If Jovan Belcher didn't possess a gun, he and Kasandra Perkins would both be alive today.
If you look at what Stan posted,, I wonder why there wasnt a direct lambasting towards the leauge dealing with injury, and the effects from them.
Clearly the kid was troubled, had drinking problem,, taking way to many pain killers..... But Costas wants to USE THE TRDGEDY,, to drive his political views towards a National audience.. NBC,, And SNF should be ashamed of themselves.... The NFL should be really embarrassed from thes Guys rant during one of their games.... Those games are for entertainment puposes.. I dont give a Flip about Costas's political views..
I am more concerned for the grieving families, and the little one who lost both parents....
Bob Costas insulted everyone involved...A simple request for prayer would have done a lot more good...
The more I watch Football... Its getting to the point where I enjoy it more,,, if I just turn the sound compleatly off,,, and watch the game..

You are here
Even the sky dressed up for this carnival-style street party with sherbet-hued ribbons that cast a golden, luminous glow across the outdoor affair. As the sun set on Saturday evening's Party for the Parks, a fundraiser for the Charleston Parks Conservancy, guests were reminded why life in the Lowcounty is such a delicious existence. A breeze gently shooed away the gnats; the sound of rustling palmetto fronds intertwined with laughter and live music; and the smell of browned butter bubbling in a saute pan wafted across the avenue. It was a microcosm of magic.
The cleverly staged party, which unfolded on a portion of Ashley Avenue closed specifically for the event (between Broad and Beaufain Streets), interspersed tented food vendors with cozy seating areas, all of which was rimmed with potted trees. A black and white checkerboard dance floor showcased a slew of entertainers: Capoeira dancers, jugglers, a girl with a hula hoop, and stilt walkers—high energy performers that inspired guests to participate in a frenzied dance-off toward the end of the party.
Isn't this wonderful? and We need to do this once a month. were the sentiments on most people's tongues, several of whom conspired to petition Mayor Riley for his blessing to hold more frequent block parties.

Bobbie, you need to download the camera raw update for your camera from the adobe site. I've had the same problem, its a camera thing and the update should take care of it. When I change them to dng files in lightroom, I can see them ok. I'm not sure I've got it all straight yet either. Still learning all the ins and outs of this camera. But i love it too.
thanks sandi, i will go to the website and see what i can find.... and i didnt know that windows would see the dng files...i had been converting to dng..but then i forgot to ...so i guess i could try that too...wonder if that works for my acdsee also, cause i have an older version and it doesnt see the 7D...havent decided if i would upgrade my acdsee yet...so this may be a fix for that too..thanks...

I downloaded the update too and still can't see the thumbnails in Vista Windows Explorer. I use Windows Photo Gallery too and they are not at all visible there. I even downloaded an update from Microsoft for that the first time WPG encountered raw photos (mine are .CR2). Who knows?
I'm not too bothered by it as I don't shoot in RAW very often, but it is a curious thing, isn't it?

|Warmwater flyfishing Bass, pike and even muskies in your backyard
|Topic Review (Newest First)
RE:Another good Largemouth, out with the boy
Forgot to mention, this Largie took 2 splendid shots out of the water about 2 feet high! that's something I miss with Stripers. Bluefish go airborne sometimes too. It shocked me cause my line was tangled in my sons line and as I was trying to untangle (quiet Roop) I see this thing go up..wow!
RE:Another good Largemouth, out with the boy
I was telling Roop the other day how my daugther did with a popper on Spy Pond in Arlington one summer day, before we moved out to Seattle so she was very young.
Anyway, I put a popper on the line and had her reel it in. I told her it was a puppet, and if she pulled it it would pop, gurgle, twitch and splash. Here she was having a grand time playing with the puppet when the lilly pads started to quiver, the water became unsettled and out from the depths came a huge largemouth bass. It exploded on her little water puppet and scared the ever-living crap out of her! She was horrified.
Bad daddy forgot to tell her that a big green scary ugly fish with red eyes and a mouth like a bucket was going to come kill her puppet! Ooops!
RE:Another good Largemouth, out with the boy
Uh Terry - buddy. I've got the 6 weight and you seem to find the largemouth - what a combo!
Or maybe I can just borrow your son as a good luck icon?
Another good Largemouth, out with the boy
When I post here it's usually because I've been out with one of my kids spinfishing. They always get plenty of Sunnys and I try to toss something at least artificial. Last Sat. was the same. My son and I were visiting the father in law. He told me to bring some rods so I did. Right near his house in Peabody is a nice quarry-esque hole over 60 feet deep, crystal clear. Drops right off at a 40 degree angle at the shore. We rowed around and caught many sunnys and I got a good 10" LArgemouth. On the way in I got a big 3.5 to 4 lb LArgie. That's my 2nd lunker this year. Still need a 6 weight to attack this fishery with!

When the zombie apocalypse comes down upon humankind, what item will serve you best in this brave new world? A bolt-action rifle is great for zombie headshots at a distance, but it's by no means essential to survival. A sharp, durable, well-maintained machete is ideal for dispatching undead assailants in close quarters, but it requires a great deal of martial discipline to stand toe-to-toe with zombies. What you need against the living dead is nothing less than Quiksilver's Bolero skateboard. You may be wondering why a skateboard is an effective weapon against the walking dead. Here's the scoop: zombies are the walking dead. They walk. On this skateboard, you'll roll past every zombie before they even know you're there, and the lack of a combustion engine is a plus when you're dealing with limited sources of gasoline. It also comes ready to ride right out of the box, so you can spend more time oiling your rifle, sharpening your machete and stocking up on Twinkies.

Locating Your Meter Box
*For Residential Customers: In most cases, the water meter is located at the front of the property near the street in a metal box. A blue line may be painted in the street noting the approximate location of the meter box.
*For Commercial Customers: Generally, the water meter is located at the front of the property, but it could be located on the back or side of property. In some cases depending on the size of the commercial property, the meter will be locked in a large vault. In these cases, do not attempt to obtain a reading. Please contact the City of Clemson to obtain a reading of the meter.
*When looking at the water meter, locate the white numbers on the right side of the meter dial with the black background. These numbers count the number of gallons of water that have passed through your meter.
* The City of Clemson bills in hundreds of gallons or to the 100 gallon dial. So when you get your bill - the reading will be to the 100th digit, (or third dial from the right), on the meter.
Serial number is Listed on outside cover
Determining Your Water Usage
*Select a day to take an initial water meter reading.
*Write down the numbers you see on the meter odometer. (ex. 0260000)
*After a period of time has passed (such as a day or week), read your meter again. (ex. New reading of 0263000)
*Subtract your first reading from the second reading. This is your water usage for that period. (ex. 0263000-0260000=3000)
*The 3000 figure indicates that 3,000 gallons of water have been used during the time period between the two readings.
If you have any questions about reading your meter please call: The City of Clemson Utilities Department (864) 653-2046.

By Brandon Speck/NEMS Daily Journal
HOUSTON – It was closer than even his mother knew, but Chris Jones is taking his talents to Mississippi State.
Houston's 5-star defensive end ended his highly-scrutinized recruitment Wednesday morning by choosing the Bulldogs over Ole Miss in a signing day ceremony at Houston High School.
"To tell you the truth, I considered flipping," Jones said. "I was 80 percent on flipping until this morning when I talked to both coaches. I felt like Mississippi State was the best fit for me."
Jones, the Journal's 6-foot-5, 255-pound Defensive Player of the Year, committed to Mississippi State last June. He provided plenty of late drama with a pair of weekends in Oxford, one an official visit, both late-night trips he publicly denied planning to take.
He got his parents to both schools for the first time last week and said it was 6 a.m. Wednesday before he made his final decision. He said he hasn't had much sleep in the last 24 hours.
"It's been crazy. I've had no rest," Jones said. "I'm happy. Now I can get some rest."
rising stock
Jones' stock shot up after a stellar senior season for the Hilltoppers and two standout performances in the Alabama-Mississippi All-Star Classic and Under Armour All-America Game.
He went from unknown to No. 2 overall recruit in the country by 247Sports and inside ESPN's top 50.
Jones' 11 tackles per game helped Houston to a school-record 11 wins and its first playoff win in school history. He transferred from Nettleton to Houston for his junior season.
The player was visibly exhausted during Wednesday's gathering.
His recruiting trail became a national topic over the past two weeks, as it became a guessing game as to his whereabouts. Twitter photos surfaced of Jones at Ole Miss and at a Mississippi State basketball game, as did photos of his mother meeting with Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze.
His mother, Mary Woodhouse, said he was "not too close" to signing with the Rebels.
"I'm happy where he's going. If he's happy, I'm happy," Woodhouse said. "His heart has always been with Mississippi State."

I can answer nearly all questions about Windows 8 - installation, upgrade, virtualization (Hyper-V, etc.), configuration, how to get the most out of it, how to buy it, etc. I won't pretend to know it all - nobody can - if I don't know, I will try and find the answer. If I can't find it, I'll tell you.
I worked as an analyst in Dell server support for 2 years, and have since worked with many Dell PowerEdge servers. I am currently employed as IT Manager. I have been using Windows 8 since the early Developer Preview days and use it on all of my primary PC's for a number of activities.
I have a BS in Computer Science and have earned the following certifications: CompTIA Security+, A+, Project+; CIW Web Design, Database Specialist; Microsoft Windows 7; Dell DCSE Server. I am also an expert in Windows 7, Servers, and Hard Drives (I don't normally do XP - not because I don't know it inside and out, but because I have "retired" personal support for XP, and I want to see it die :)).

Okay, first up is R3-T6 the Imperial droid seen rolling around as Obi-Wan creeps around the death star.
My newest custom is one-armed Ponda. Mr. Baba had an unfortunate encounter w/ a lightsaber. I'm not 100% finished w/ this one. I think I'm going to line the edge of each stub in red to represent blood. The stump is black b/c of the carterizing affects of the lightsaber. Enjoy!
Shop Smart! Shop S-Mart!
that's one problem I had with the piuc in the movie of ponda's arm: there's blood coming out of it although the wound should be fried close
Maybe it had something to do with his physiology. Darth Maul had that cloud/spray of blood? when Obi-Wan cleaved him in half.
I may just leave it a black stump for now.
Shop Smart! Shop S-Mart!
Look sir, droids!
Excellent work Jargo and ACPin
Sidiously Darth, will you be adding magnets to Ponda's arm?
Keep them coming everyone, customization is a beautiful thing.
As of now, no magnets. There is actually a black stump about 1/8" or less that sticks out. That allows for the upper arm to attach to the lower arm. I'll do another scan soon so you can see.
Shop Smart! Shop S-Mart!
if hasbro is doing the cantina 2-packs with bonda baba, wouldn't it be perfect to give him a removable arm with magnet?

Tuesday morning I had to hunt for a station in Oroville, CA, for regular gas less than $4.15. Finally found one $4.08 if you paid cash.
Diesel at the same station was $4.39. That was Tuesday morning.
This morning the news hits that there is a shortage and gas is up .20 cents or more if you can find it. One news broadcaster says gas is going to go higher and the shortage is going to last into November.
Its October!!! Of course their was increased hiring...... its called the holiday season!!!! Never mind the fact that the number isnt even enough to account for all young adults entering the workforce this month...... the number is complete crap...... has been for about two years. It almost always even gets revised down. BUT....... Obama needed something to distract all the people who watched his ass get handed to him the other night....... ROFL
SHR Presque Isle Jaeger Schwab JH (driving the bus)
This will really hit people hard. How can they afford to get to work , thats if they can find a station thats open. Last week were in San Diego the station we stopped at was 4.69 a gal
On unemployment...when you can't debate change the numbers. Dept of labor says they will adjust them but not until after the election...so they lied! again .
Last edited by 23721; 10-05-2012 at 02:16 PM.
That is a refining issue...it will go away in a day or two
To come up with this unemployment number they used a household survey this should show you how corrupt this Pres is he had to take the heat of his failing performance at the debates so they had to do what ever they could.
I assure you they cannot manipulate these stats. But your response is that of it is more important for Romney to win than Americans to work.
See it is not about supporting the president so that he can help the people...it is about electing a republican....so don't pretend that republicans would work with him. More LIES LIES LIES LIES....and people are sick of........LIES LIES LIES>>>>>you will see 11/6.....so don't worry Rush is not going off the air for at least another 4 years
What I have read is the jobs created to lower the unemployment rate are ALL part time jobs. Really hard to support one person on a part time job, how do you expect it to support a family? As for the gas prices rising in California to .20 more a gallon and shortage are expected to last for too long to make me happy. Yes it is related to fires and power outages, but we still need more oil refineries so the prices do not go up every time a problem of this nature happens. These problems have several times a year it seems.

Has anyone noticed that some vintage figures have a tendency to crystalize? Some of my figures such as Teebo, 4-Lom (the tan figure, not Zuckuss), and others are starting to develop a sugary looking coating around parts of them (legs, shoulders, etc.). I was wondering if anyone else has had figures crystalize on them.

Music to Your Ears
Its slogan is "Everything a mall store isn't," but the truth is, you won't find a store like BiPolar anywhere.
Ninety percent of the locally owned business' items, which include clothing, art work, candles and jewelry, are consigned by New Mexicans. What caught our eye was the sizable selection of local band T-shirts, CDs and stickers. No longer must you wait for a late-night gig to score a Vertigo Venus "Shut Up and Die" tee or a psychedelic SuperGiant top.
Since the store opened on Sept. 19, Assistant Manager Hypatia Johnson has been combing through MySpace on the prowl for new merch. "I'm constantly looking for more bands," Johnson says. "When I go home, all I do is peruse the Internet and send out messages to local groups."
Johnson says band gear fits right into BiPolar's mission. "The whole idea was to showcase local artists," she explains. "So if we're going to have candles and natural organic soaps and jewelry, why wouldn't we showcase the local music talent as well?"
If your band would like to get in on the action, send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com, or call 872-2739. BiPolar is in Coronado Mall on the upper level near LensCrafters.

I'm mostly concerned with the serial port, SPI port, I2C and PWM. Are they hardware, or bit-banged?
How much overhead does Sketch add?
What is the instruction cycle time of the Atmel chips?
Or - if someone could point me to a (hopefully single) source for the above information, I would be most appreciative.
Also, PicBasic creates macros that then call the Microchip assembler, so it produces an ASM file. If you want to know what the compiler is doing, you can look at the created ASM file. I don't see anything like that in Sketch. Is there a way I can see the actual instructions being programmed into the ATMEL?
I can't find any good explanation of how to use interrupts in Sketch.
I have searched the forum, and I can't find any good explanation of how to use interrupts in Sketch.
and very little of it is interrupt-driven.
If I have a routine that looks for serial input, and I have a really long DELAY statement, will it capture long strings while it is in the DELAY period?

Fat can "settle" in certain parts of the body. Women gain fat mostly in the stomach, buttocks, hips, and thighs. Men, on the other hand, can gain fat in the belly and waist. Liposuction may help people who want to have less fat in these parts of their body. But it is not for people who are very overweight.
A special machine and tools are used. The person will be given medicine and fall asleep. The surgeon will then push small suction tools through the skin into the fat pockets. The tools will break up the fat and suck it out. Small tubes may be placed in the area to help drain fluids for the first few days after the surgery.
The person will wear special clothing over the area to help cut down on swelling and bleeding. This clothing is called a compression garment. The clothing presses on the skin and tissue underneath. It will also help the skin shrink and fit the new body shape.
In time, the person's body will be trimmer and look healthier.

We have Erin McMorris on the Jolly Jabber today to talk about her new collection for FreeSpirit called Park Slope! It's very fun, flaunts summery colors, and in my eyes sort of retro grooooovy... :) Just look at it and you'll probably agree! Fat Quarter Shop has it the full line as well as two color bundles, teal and pink. The blooming flowers make it perfect for the season. What are you going to deck out in Park Slope? Be sure to send us pictures so we can see!
Hi, and thanks for inviting me to talk a little bit about my work! I am so excited about Park Slope, my second collection for FreeSpirit, it's a collection that just makes me smile! It's called Park Slope after the neighborhood in Brooklyn where I spent a few weeks housesitting for friends last summer. The collection really started to gel while I was visiting and I can remember getting inspired by being there. I love to travel and sometimes I find I work best outside of my own studio.
For those who don't know me, although I'm relatively new to the quilting community, I've been designing textiles for about 15 years and absolutely love it! After studying textile design, my first job was painting repeats and recolors of patterns. I had to pinch myself, I couldn't believe that someone was paying me to paint all day!! I knew it was what I was meant to do. I really like flat graphic prints--I'm also a former graphic designer--and other reoccuring themes in my designs, are using linework and dots. I love dots! I love them so much I painted a wall in my house with colored dots! I just think polka dots are inherently fun and instantly make a solid surface happy. I love to use them as patterns within patterns, or create images, like my Leaf Dot in the new collection, that is just designed in the form of a circle, or like the Birds that reads as a small dot from a distance. I use a lot of line work probably because all of my designs start with a sketch on paper and sometimes I like to keep the pencil quality of the line in the final design. Oh, and did I mention I love color?
People always ask me how my design process works and I think it is such an interesting question to ask other designers because everyone works differently. I always start with a quick sketch on paper, but it is really rough and I usually stop once I can see where I want to go. But I can never fully visualize it until I start working with it in the computer. Then I continue sketching and re-sketching and re-sketching until it probably ends up like something completely unrelated to the original drawing. But that's the fun part! I'm really just using Photoshop as an extension of my sketchbook as it's easier to cut and paste and erase with it. I struggle to try and create modern designs that aren't too serious, because that's really what I like. I think most of my designs look pretty simple, but I can assure you, it takes me forever before I'm ready to let go of a collection. And now that I have let it go, I'm looking forward to seeing what amazing products people create with it. That's one of the most fun parts of this job!

If you're that basic though, why build it on its own board? For 4 components, just put the bare components on the perfboard or breadboard (and then you're under $5). Also, the stamp seems to lack proper crystal which is important if you want the Arduino timings to work precisely.

The Eldersburg Walmart at 32 and Liberty (I think) had bombers last week as did the Westminster Walmart.Originally posted by underdog25
has anyone seen any Tie Bombers this week? Today?
I was going to Frederick wal-mart today, but i stopped at the Mt. Airy wal-mart first. They had about 2-3 of each figure in the massif and bespin waves. I picked up a bloody stump luke. They had 1 bloody stump left. They also had 1 snow speeder.
I have been hitting all the wrong places for Luke. I can't seem to nail one down. I was at the Walmart in Ellicott City this morning and they didn't have any of the new waves. I was going to stop by the Mt. Airey Walmart but decided to by pass it. I know there won't be anything there this afternoon. Doah!
the walmart in dundalk at north point had the jinn wave today
at last we will reveal ourselves to the jedi
I found the same wave in Eldersburg Monday afternoon. Found Vader Bespin at Columbia TRU. Luke still eludes me!Originally posted by valin horn
the walmart in dundalk at north point had the jinn wave today
Just saw the Boshek wave at Laurel TRU. DON'T BOTHER rushing there as the entire case was in a scalper's cart! There was one Yoda hanging with the figs at the front of the store.
ALL of the TRU's have a TON of POTJ figures in stock. If they don't have them on the floor then they are sitting in the back somewhere. Ask to get some. Most don't have them out because there is no room on the layouts for them or lazy stockers. If they don't get a case or two for you then ask to speak to the MOD. They should be more than willing to bend over backwards to get you want you are looking for. If not then go higher. They sent out TONS of these cases to each and every store. They have them so go get them.
"The Negotiator, General Kenobi."
Nothing new at the TRU in Gaithersburg as of 5:00 PM....
Any sightings of the Ultimate 12" Jango Fett in the DC/Maryland area??
Nothing new at Target, KB Toyworks, or Walmart in Bowie.
Well, I did see some 12" figures at the Target, none were Jango Fett. I personally don't collect the 12" line. Does anyone want me to post sightings of those. I usually go to Laurel, Greenbelt, Bowie, Landover, and Clinton.
Yo momma. That's right, I said "yo momma".

che trasforma Venezia in un mondo magico
33 concerts with 3 appointments per day, 81 composers, 40 new works, including 30 world premieres… the 57th International Festival of Contemporary Music will kick-off on October 4th! The festival is organized by La Biennale with a program brought forth by Director Ivan Fedele.
Another voice, another space is the title of the 57th edition of the Festival which opens onto the whole contemporary scene, weaving space and voice – two key elements of the musical thinking from the second half of the 1900s until our days – in countless variations.
The internal life of sound, its articulation in space, the voice vivisectioned like an acoustic instrument, the electronics that constitute the essential instrument of this research are the elements that will be combined in the Festival's concerts.
Luciano Berio – to whom homage will be paid, at ten years from his passing - and Karlheinz Stockhausen will open the way for the new generations well-represented in the programme – Eric Masters, Daniele Ghisi, Vittorio Montalti, Evis Sammoutis, Kristian Ireland, Chris Swithinbank, Raffaele Grimaldi, Franco Venturini, Ryo Dainobu.
These musicians will be accompanied in many of the concerts by prominent computer studios, from the Ircam to Tempo Reale, fruit of the evolution of the first studies of phonology, source of all experiments and even today a meeting point for many composers.
The festival will present international and Italian ensembles and performers, as well as meeting and conference with some of the most important international music personalities.
The Music Biennale, based on a proposal by Director Ivan Fedele, has attributed to Russian composer Sofija Gubajdulina the Golden Lion for music. The awards ceremony is scheduled for Friday, October 4th at Teatro alle Tese, 8:00pm.
The main venues of concerts are Teatro Piccolo Arsenale and Teatro alle Tese, just few minutes by foot from the BEST WSTERN PREMIER Hotel Sant'Elena.
Download here the full program of concerts.
Music Biennale - from October 4th, till 13th

20 Of The Best Wine Apps
During the winter holidays, people have a tendency to go wine-tasting at local wine bars and vineyards. Sensing and evaluating the taste of wine makes people feel more sophisticated and it makes for great conversation points. Wine and food pairing is a culture and wine-and-cheese parties can be a great social event.

No it would not. I was aware of the conclusions that you reached based on my statement and can live with those conclusions. Pawlenty is more effective at conveying family values than Palin and Alaska is more of a welfare state than Minnesota. Fine by me.
What I find most interesting in that list of states is how many states with some of the highest out of wedlock birth rates are republican strongholds (please note I said many not all). I was thinking that those states would have less welfare if the politicians in those states practiced what they preached. To come to the conclusion that it is due to "welfare" is overly simplistic but to be expected. The report presents clear data that many of these pregnancies are in older career women and the overall birth rate among all mothers under 20 has actually declined (see figure 2).

Victoria Findlay Wolfe of Bumble Beans Inc is asking for help! She is on the Jolly Jabber today to talk about a quilt and blanket drive for those affected by Super Storm Sandy.
Having missed the entire storm, by being in Houston for Market, I felt helpless as my family were in NYC without me. I started to organize a quilt drive for our area while I was still in Houston.
Once home, I realized how seriously the storm affected my neighborhood, my friends, and fellow New Yorkers, CT, PA and NJ... Homes have been wiped off the face of the earth, people are cold, and wet, and we have rain and snow coming. I need to be able to help NOW.
I just had a call from Raul Russi, Head of the Acacia Network, whom I had previously partnered with on my BUMBLEBEANSBASICS.com
He said, "We have 150-200 quilts here, right now. And since the rest of my families are INSIDE already, can we deliver these quilts in our medical trucks to the people in the Rockaways, NOW?" I said, "YES! Let's go!"
QUILTS AND BLANKETS are needed ASAP.
Give Selflessly.
Thank you cards will not be sent out due to the urgency of the events of SANDY.
LABEL YOUR QUILTS, Name, address and email.
The person who receives your quilt may want to thank you themselves.
Send Quilts & Blankets to:
Basic Housing, Inc.
Attn: Robert Gonzalez / H.SANDY

Why don't just use the good old RS-485? I've been sucessfully using that... Easy and cheap...

What is the current version of SANS GCIH material?
My coworker dug up his GCIH material from 2002. I do not believe this would be an actual substitute of current GCIH material, but I wanted to know just how far away it is from the current revision. Yes, I am aware that 7 years is a long time in infosec.

Some have commented that anything which stirs up interest in genealogy the way Roots did a few decades ago is a good thing. From my vantage point as a family history researcher, I'm not sure Faces of America does that. Most people who aren't already doing genealogy research think they wouldn't know how to do it, and this series does absolutely nothing to cause them to think they could learn. All the searching is done behind the scenes by the professionals, and then--hocus pocus!--by some unrevealed mystique, a celebrity has a fascinating ancestor! I would have much preferred, and I think I was expecting, an approach more like that of History Detectives, where the actual search for information is given every bit as much prominence as the results of the search. (I can see where the professionals might disagree with my position!)
I research my family history because it's fun. It's like a huge, complex, personalized jigsaw puzzle that doesn't come with a picture on top of the box. It doesn't even come with all the pieces. You get some for starters, and once you've got those together, you get to go scavenger-hunting for the rest. You don't have to know how to do it all before you start, any more than you need a college degree to start kindergarten. You figure it out as you go. That keeps it interesting. And the tidbits of information you find as a result of your figuring are the rewards that keep you coming back for more. I wish Faces of America had conveyed that aspect, the pleasure of the hunt.
The day it ceases to be a pleasure, I'm done. If that makes me a mere hobbyist or a genealogical dilettante, so be it. But, like anyone who does jigsaw puzzles, I am invested in getting each piece right so the picture will be revealed. (By the way, nothing pleases me more than to get a reader comment that helps me do that.)
Anyway, having spoken my piece, I will nevertheless be watching the last episode of Faces this week. The subject is genetic genealogy, an area I don't know too much about, so I expect I'll be able to learn something from it.
February Accomplishments
Early in the month, I set up a new binder for the Schulte line. I made more photos for my heirloom family tree, as well as a list of reference photos identifying all images and memorabilia associated with the tree. I participated in the 2010 GeneaBloggers Games, earning medals in five out of six categories for the Tasks I completed. As part of that process, I set up several additional new binders and rearranged material in some of the older binders. I started what will be a series of surname posts that will be linked to the names in my new Surnames list page.
And in the other column . . .
. . . sourcing! My bugaboo! Despite the lure of a Platinum Medal in the Games (50 source citations), I realized early on that I would happily settle for a Bronze (for a mere 10 citations) if I could manage to push myself that hard. Even at that, I managed to drag my feet almost to the deadline. [Having 'fessed up to that, I will also say I discovered two things: 1) that I actually have sourced quite a bit more of my data than I realized, and 2) that the plan I intended to follow, as per my New Year's resolution, in sourcing all my direct-line ancestors was not conducive to efficient sourcing, and I've found a better way of approaching the job.]
And my efforts in the Back-Up category were a total bust, as my DVD writer apparently doesn't work. I'll try again in March, next time with a 2GB thumb-drive that my Bloodhound Cousin Cheryl sent me. Thanks, Cheryl!

This miay sound silly but....
Hello All,
Well after having had a lesson in fly casting I can now land a fly on the water. Finally!!!
I am using a 6WT rod with a sinking tip line
Now for the question:
Having landed the fly on the water and it was taken by a very good fish how the hell do you play the fish? Since the reel i have only has a clicker drag I guess thats out so is it a case of just hanging on until the fish is tired?
this fish took me down to the backing 4 times on my first outing!
what is the stratedgy for fighting/playing fish? It seems so different to lure fishing.
Any advice welcomed
I´m no expert and only a few times in my life I´ve had to play big trout, but from what I´ve read and heard the recommendation is:
-don´t check the first run, let it rip all the line it wants, or you risk getting the tippet broken
-after that, if you don´t have a good drag, use your index and middle finger of your right hand and press the line against the rod and use it as a drag (don´t press to hard!)
-try and get downstream of the trout, it´s easier to reel it in and you avoid fighting both the trout and the current
-use a landing net
-use your reel bring it in, not your left hand ripping line (this I´m not sure what the reason is for this)
-if it jumps, point you´re rod tip down to give it some slack and avoid breaking the tippet.
-if your doing C. and R, avoid exhausting the trout ´cause it´ll probably die after release.
-if your keeping it, when the fish starts swimming on its side it means it´s tired out and you can safely bring it in.
- keep the line taut but don´t over do it.
well, hope it helps at least a little...
Jero's recommendations are excellent.
Couple more things:
As Jero points out, you always want to play a large fish off the reel. This avoids having loose line lying around on the ground to tangle or to step on. It's a good habit to get into to put fish on the reel as soon as you can; when you start going after larger and more violent quarry, this habit comes in handy.
Sometimes you'll have to pinch the line between your fingers while you reel in slack in order to keep tension on the line between you and the fish. This is awkward, even for anglers with lots of big fish experience, but you're faced with this situation more often than not when trying to get the fish on the reel. Keep the rod tip up, and let the line slip out of your fingers under light tension if the fish begins to run.
When casting or prospecting for trout, try to spot those places along the bank most suitable for landing a good fish. Look for back eddies, beaches, clear areas without overhanding brush. When you hook said good fish, head for one of these landing places you've pre-marked.
Palm your reel, if your reel has a palm-able rim, or else press your reeling-hand fingers against the side plate of your reel as the fish is running. This will impart enough drag to prevent backlash on reels without a drag system, Watch out that the spinning handle doesn't bash into your fingers.
So much of playing a fish depends on the weight of your tackle, tippet breaking strength, the size of the stream and velocity of the current, the presence or absence of snags and obtructions, your mental state (Oh My Gawd I've Hooked The Fish of a Lifetime), your experiece in similar circumstances, etc. Strategies for landing fish in a current are really no different for the fly angler than for the spin caster, it's just that you've got to use more finesse and dexterity in maintaining tension on the fish (i.e., taking the slack out of the line, working a non-geared reel).
A good trout will often make two strong runs. He'll take a lot of line initially, and then take off again after you've brought him mostly in. Be prepared for this second run; a lot of good fish are lost at this point.
When the fish jumps, don't hold him too tight. With Steelhead, salmon, tarpon and others of that ilk, the word is to "bow to the fish" in order to release tension on the line.
When the fish starts to "show color", that is, when he starts flashing his sides, he's more than ready to land. Be firm and bring him in as quickly as your takcle will allow. If he sticks a pectoral fin ridgidly above the surface, he's really corked.
Especially, if you're planning on releasing the fish, try to get the fish in as quickly as your tackle will permit. As Jero pointed out, playing the fish over long often results in a dead fish. At any rate, make sure you revive the fish completely before releasing it. The fish should bolt strongly out of your hands if it has really recovered.
As you gain control over the fish, try to work it into the calmest water you can, preferrable near one of your preselected landing spots. Be patient, but be firm; and don't make any sudden, jerking movements.
Again, if planning to release the fish, do NOT remove it from the water. Gently work the hook out subsurface and move the fish back and forth head-on into the current until it bolts from your hand.
There are a lot of other more subtle techniques in playing fish, but these are the 101 basics. See Lee Wulff's _The Atlantic Salmon_ for more advanced advice.
Hope this helps and welcome to the Forum,
Thanks for the advice,
Certainly some value there for me
By a palmable reel i take it that is the one where the outside edge of the spool is proud of the frame. So the technique is similar to using your thumb to brake a baitcasting reel when casting.
Lost the fish when the tippet knot pulled (that'll teach me dodgy looking knots are NOT gonna be ok)
Thanks again and tight lines
in case you´re not sure about the knots for fly flishing, the general recommendation for tippet to leader is the double surgeons knot, and from tippet to fly the improved clinch knot. Plenty of drawings and instructions on the internet.
My local fly fishing shop dealer recommended me, for making the leader last longer, to tie a perfection knot (loop knot) at the end of it, then attach the tippet also with a perfection knot. Then, as you work your way up the tippet (due to lost flies or swichting them) you don´t eat up your leader. Once the tippet gets too short, you cut another piece and loop-connect to the leader once again.
Personally, when I snag with this system I alwasy break the tippet at the loop connection, while with the surgeons knot never. Makes me think the surgeon knot is better. In regards to the clinch knot, whenever I snag and break the tippet, the times I can recover my flies have always showed a neat clinch knot still tied to the fly, and the "break" a few inches up the tippet from the fly.
To add...
The double surgeons is one of the strongest fishing knots. The clinch is a weak knot but good for beginners because it's easy.
With fine tippets I prefer the palomar and with the same day, same fly, same tippet I broke fish on a clinch that I landed with the palomar.
With larger tippets, like 10#-20# (saltwater etc) a blood knot is a good choice to join to leader because it is straight in-line.
At the fly, and with larger tippets the non-slip loop is a great choice as well but is not as strong or durable as a palomar because it uses only one strand thru the eye for one thing where the palomar uses two.
The only loop I like to use is the one joining the butt to the fly line but we all have preferences.
i will certainly use the double surgeons knot it was a single surgeons knot that failed me. Using loops to attach leaders etc is strong I have seen fish spooked by the loop on the water I changed mine to nail or albright knots (are those nail knot tying tools good or what?)
Cheers and tight lines
Actually there is better... a double-ended doll needle.
I get mine at Marie's Sewing Center for $2. One end clips onto your vest the other lays on the line and pulls the end of the nail knot thru without having to thread the line under the wraps.

Panel to address future of conservative movement
Posted October 8, 2009; 12:56 p.m.
"The Future of Conservatism" is the subject of a panel discussion featuring commentators Ross Douthat, David Frum, Daniel Larison and Virginia Postrel at 4:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 12, in McCosh 50.
The panelists are well known for their commentary on the direction of American politics and society. Their philosophical perspectives differ somewhat, but all are interested in making conservatism appeal to a broader audience, including immigrants, working-class Americans and younger citizens.
Douthat, who became a New York Times columnist this year, is the co-author of "Grand New Party: How Republicans Can Win the Working Class and Save the American Dream." Frum, an economic speechwriter for former President George W. Bush, founded NewMajority.com, a website "dedicated to the modernization and renewal of the Republican party and the conservative movement." Larison is a contributing editor at The American Conservative, which publishes his blog Eunomia. Postrel, a 1982 Princeton graduate, is a columnist for The Atlantic and publishes her work on her website Dynamist.com.
Princeton history professors Kevin Kruse and Julian Zelizer will moderate the discussion, which is designated as a Stafford Little Lecture sponsored by the University Public Lecture Series.

Sunday v. busy. Someone slashdotted an article from
Silicon re. the European Copyright Directive, someone else
skimmed the directive itself, and decided that it wasn't a
threat at all, got moderated up, and in the meantime,
Slashdot's moderation
code broke again, so that I found myself unable to post a
(still no word from the mysterious pater).
Therefore posted my response to the CDR website - see this for more details, including link to original thread.
Idea: page/section of site with links to informed commentary about threat posed by EUCD from prominent Open Source programmers (esp. Europeans) would be helpful to allow people to get up to speed quickly, and so that they don't just have to take our (CDR's) word for it.
Should anyone read this and already have written something I can link to, feel free to drop me an email at email@example.com. I know alan already has something in draft form...
Rushed off to London later yesterday for FIPR meeting (from around 1700 to gone midnight). V. constructive, for once.

Max A. Goodman
Professor of Law Emeritus in Residence
J.D., 1948, Loyola Law School; Member, California State Bar and Certified Family Law Specialist
Southwestern Mourns the Loss of Professor Max Goodman
Professor Max A. Goodman, one of the leading family law experts in California who served on the Southwestern faculty for over four decades, passed away on December 31, 2009 at the age of 85.
Professor Goodman was a graduate of Loyola Law School and a Certified Family Law Specialist, and maintained a successful law practice in Los Angeles for over two decades. In 1966, he joined the Southwestern faculty where he quickly earned a reputation as one of the most highly regarded family law professors in the country. During recent years, he continued to teach as Professor Emeritus in Residence and had just formally retired in Fall 2009.
"Southwestern owes a huge debt to Max Goodman," said Dean Bryant Garth. "He helped to transform the school from one of outstanding teachers to one of outstanding teacher-scholars. His brilliant teaching and mentoring produced multiple generations of great family lawyers. And his continuing example inspired us all - students, alumni, administrators, and both junior and senior faculty - to live up to the scholarly and service ideals that he embodied so remarkably."
Always active in pro bono activities, Professor Goodman served as a volunteer mediator and arbitrator for the Family Law Department and the Conciliation Court of the Los Angeles Superior Court and Dispute Resolution Services and was a contributor to the First World Conference on Family Law and Children's Rights held in Australia.
"Max Goodman's many years of dedicated service to Southwestern Law School as a highly respected and effective professor is legendary," said Dennis Codon, chair of Southwestern's Board of Trustees. "I was taught Community Property Law by Max over 30 years ago, and fondly remember him creatively captivating his students, as well as his unique ability to both inspire and demand excellence from those fortunate enough to be taught by him. Max was truly one of a kind, who had an enormous impact on thousands of students. His passing creates a huge void at Southwestern and the entire legal community."
Professor Goodman was an elected Fellow of the American Bar Foundation and the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML), and shared his expertise through a myriad of publications and legal forums sponsored by AAML, the California Judicial Council, the Los Angeles Superior Court, California Continuing Education of the Bar, and the Family Law Sections of the American Bar Association (ABA) and many local bar organizations. He chaired the ABA Family Law Section's Law School Curriculum Committee and Ethical Practice and Procedures Committee for many years, and was a prominent member of the Family Law Sections of both the California State Bar and the Los Angeles County Bar Association (LACBA). He also served on the LACBA board of trustees and as a delegate to the State Bar Convention, and authored family law questions for the California Bar exam.
"From the time he joined the faculty in the mid 1960's, Max was a special member of the Southwestern community. His impact on our graduates and the profession is immeasurable," said Dean Emeritus Leigh Taylor. "Max was deeply committed to Southwestern and to his students - there was hardly ever a school event of any kind that he did not attend. Always considerate, kind and supportive of his colleagues and others, this gentle giant demonstrated the highest of ethical values. Max's passing marks the end of an era for Southwestern and for the family law bar, but it is comforting to know that his legacy will live on through the thousands of students he taught and influenced."
The recipient of numerous awards from the legal profession, Professor Goodman was honored by Southwestern for his service to the community, teaching excellence and commitment to the advancement of the law school as the Irwin R. Buchalter Professor of Law in 1988 and the Irving D. and Florence Rosenberg Professor of Law in 1994 and received an honorary Doctor of Laws degree in 2000. That year he also was named "Outstanding Friend" by the Southwestern Alumni Association, and his former students established a major scholarship fund in his name.
"At the close of this decade, the Los Angeles Family Law Community saw the close of an era with the passing of Max Goodman, one of the most well-respected, kindest, gentle beings that difficult field of law has ever been privileged to count amongst its members," said Stephen A. Kolodny, a partner in the firm of Kolodny & Anteau, and a long-time friend of Professor Goodman and the law school. "A well-respected litigator in the 60's, 70's and 80's, known for his wisdom and ability to reason with people but try difficult cases when necessary; in the later years of his exemplary career, Max turned to teaching law at Southwestern, part of the meteoric success and well-respected reputation of that fine law school. 'Max the Axe' taught thousands of people the finesse of being a fine lawyer, being knowledgeable and prepared as the way to success, being kind and professional as the way to practice law, and being a tough litigator when necessary if other methods fail. The Los Angeles legal community is left with a gaping hole - one not to be filled easily, if at all."
Professor Goodman, whose beloved wife Molly passed away in 2005, is survived by a brother, Jerome; three children, Jan Goodman, Lauren Packard and Melanie Murez; and 8 grandchildren.
Services were held on Monday, January 4 at Mt. Sinai Memorial Park, 5950 Forest Lawn Drive, Los Angeles, 90068. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Professor Max A. Goodman Scholarship Endowment Fund at Southwestern (donate online or send donations to the Institutional Advancement Office).
Echoing the sentiments of Professor Goodman's colleagues at Southwestern, Professor Karen Smith said, "Max always had such passion for the law. He was so committed to our students and wanted them to know and respect the law the way he did. He was a giant in his field, but generous and down to earth at the same time. He will be missed tremendously."

text: Migration Info This species is found in a variety of habitats during winter, but is most numerous in mountainous situations that resemble its breeding areas in the Pacific states. The highest winter population densities occur in the Mexican cloud forests. Because of the elusive and shy nature of this species, its migration is poorly known. MacGillivray's Warblers that migrate along the Pacific coast move northward quite rapidly, while populations in the Rockies tend to migrate via lowlands and disperse to higher elevations along the way.
