Oscar-nominated actor and founding member of The Wooster Group Willem Dafoe and legendary performer Mikhail Baryshnikov are a dapper odd couple, forced to deal with the most inconsiderate—and inanimate—of houseguests, in this surreal marriage of absurdism, pitch-black comedy, and vaudeville from director Robert Wilson.
Based on the recently rediscovered writings of Russian avant-garde author Daniil Kharms—a master of Beckettian and Kafkaesque nonsensical drama—and adapted by Darryl Pinckney, Wilson's meticulously designed production riffs ingeniously on Kharms' warped, disorienting world. Exquisitely lit sets flicker between flatness and depth, repeated gestures and phrases become deliriously strange, and Baryshnikov and Dafoe dazzle as two sides of the same corkscrewed mind, tending darkly to their unknown visitor.

Dinner for Pro-Life Volunteers

August 16, 2009 – St. Pius X High School
Most Reverend Robert W. Finn
Bishop of Kansas City-St. Joseph
Dear friends in Life,
It is wonderful to be here with so many of you who have led so many aspects of our Diocese's apostolate for Life. What a beautiful mission we have: to bear witness, even to the point of some suffering, to the truth of the innate value of human life, and the dignity of every human person. In persevering in this sacred work we bring glory to the Eternal Father who has created us, to His Son Jesus who lifted up our flesh in the Incarnation, and redeemed us through His own dying and rising. We want to be moved and docile to the inspiration of God the Holy Spirit, who sanctifies us for a supernatural work – dare we say it?, a BATTLE wherein we already know the final outcome – namely, that Christ has indeed already conquered sin and death, and life will be victorious!
Be careful of this last point, the "battle." There are some who don't want you to know we are in a battle, even while they themselves never cease to attack. Friends, when we do get attacked and clobbered, then let us know that Christ has gone before us. He told us, "In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer. I have overcome the world'" (Jn 16:33)
As we come together this evening, your presence and your untiring work is a great inspiration and consolation to me. You are accepting your authentic call to draw close to Jesus Christ, to grow in holiness, and – as a leaven in society – you are beginning to transform the Culture of Death into a Civilization of Life and Love. Particularly as laity, you will fulfill this vital work in every common endeavor and setting, in the workplace and marketplace, in law and journalism, science and healthcare, technology and business, in the daily conversations you have with other men and women, in what and how you teach your children. Life!, life in Christ!; Human life must be safeguarded from its very first moment, through all the travails, joys and challenges we share, even to the moment of natural death.
For just a few moments tonight I want to address the theme of moving from ideas to action. This is our work in common and, in it, our Lord can use each and any of us to accomplish great things. We must be courageous and respectful; daring but reverent. We must be trusting of God and generous in His service. God asks, "Who will go in My name to announce and defend the timeless truth?" And we must be ready to say, "Here I am Lord, send me!"
As bishop, I accept my part, as I must, in this work for the sake of human life. I asked myself in preparing, "How do I see my role?"
1) First: I believe, as you do, in the truth of life's dignity and I believe passionately, as you do, that we must continue to pray, speak and act: Always with love, peacefully, and within the parameters of lawful justice. We believe. We invite all people of good will to join us in the fundamental convictions of the natural law, written in every human heart: We all want to live. The lives of other persons is something as important as our lives. We may not directly take another innocent human life.
Our Christian/Catholic faith teaches us even more: That our life is a gift from God and therefore He alone is its master. We have a destiny to live with Him forever in heaven; Jesus made this possible by the supreme act of His love: His death and resurrection for our redemption.
2) Second: What we believe – what has been entrusted to us about life - must be taught. We must be patient and persevering teachers of these basic truths, in what we say and how we act. We somehow have to get across, first and foremost, that there is such a thing as objective truth; that there is such a thing as right and wrong. This is no easy task in a culture of "choice;" in a society that values a kind of personal dogmatism – whatever I think is true, is "true" FOR ME! This becomes very threatening when those who have a voice can determine what happens to those who do not. Even within the community of believers, we must be careful of the notion of "subjective conscience," because an ill-formed conscience can give license to destructive tendencies within our lives, and can even cause people to neglect, or take advantage of others – particularly those who are vulnerable. We must teach, and we have a Holy Mother, the Church, from whom we take our lead.
3) Third: It is important that we keep in mind that we are involved with something that has a supernatural dimension. Man, wounded by sin, is subject to temptations: to comfort and convenience, for example, that even allow him to disregard the sanctity and inviolability of human life – and so we must pray. The conversion of hearts takes place under God's grace. Prayer must be a very big part of our efforts.
4) Fourth: We must find ways to act: We must both, do good and actively seek to eliminate what is evil. We must win hearts through charity; we must do advocacy; we must vote responsibly - to change laws which allow the wholesale destruction of life and disregard its true value. We must do even more than we have already done, to provide alternative paths to persons in desperate situations. I have to be willing to get involved, even if it costs me something, even if it means that I have to sacrifice my convenience, or risk being misunderstood.
So these are the basics: Live my beliefs; teach the truth; pray hard; and be willing to get involved.
Dear friends, I don't think you will be surprised if I now suggest that these are essentially the same things that you must do! You may be surprised if I say that these are, in some ways, more YOUR responsibilities than they are mine! In some ways, mind you, I believe this is true. At the very least I want to assure you of my conviction that I cannot accomplish the work without you. God wishes to use me and you. Are you willing to do each and every one of these things?
Think first about your passionate beliefs. As we do so, we must make an examination of conscience to see where our beliefs are strongest, and where we still have doubts. Is the life of the unborn child precious, but what about the heinous criminal on death row? – is he of value in God's eyes? Is he beyond hope of redemption? What about the foreigner? The poor and homeless? It is true that, in some instances, the horror of the injustice may not be as vital; as immediately life threatening; affecting as many lives. It is right to think of the priority of issues, and, for example, every edition of the U.S. Bishops' document on Faithful Citizenship makes such distinctions. Nonetheless, when we do our examination of conscience, we must ask ourselves if we love each person as a child of God. We must purify our love. We must ask the Holy Spirit to teach us. We want to live and act as people of integrity, of consistency.
You must be teachers. You must explain the truth about human life to your children. Here is where your deep beliefs about the life and dignity of each human person will be most convincing. Teach and learn from those you love most – and then you will be able to go out in conversation with your work associates, or even go out to a broader audience, or to a stranger in need. Write or speak in accord with your God-given abilities.
Pray – Pray a lot. One modern day Saint used to say that when we are trying to change a person's heart for the good, pray 80% and talk or act 20%. Pray for the conversion of any and every heart you encounter in this work for life. You don't know who will become, by God's grace, your greatest ally in the cause of life.
Pray as you begin an effort, large or small. Pray while you work. Invoke your Guardian Angel and the Guardian Angel of those you are encountering. This was a favorite strategy of Pope John XXIII, now "Blessed," from the time he worked in the Vatican's Secretary of State as a nuncio.
One of the most powerful prayers we have to push back evil is the rosary, centered as it is on the very mysteries of life conquered by Christ. And, of course, Mary, the Queen of heaven and earth, the Mother of God, the Mother of Life, and our Mother is our most powerful intercessor and ally.
Pray in atonement, in reparation (to repair) the tragedy of abortion and the other sins against life. There is so much hurt and damage that has been done – almost countless crimes against human life, and yet each one is held as a deep wound in the heart of persons, individuals and family members. They need our prayer for healing and we must beg God to forgive and reconcile; to join our sufferings to those of Jesus Christ, so that they can become redemptive rather than cause despair and lasting bitterness. A most powerful prayer for atonement is the Divine Mercy Chaplet. Here we offer to the Father in heaven, the one perfect sacrifice that atones for sins. We unite ourselves with the offering of the saving Body and Blood of Jesus, whose sorrowful passion is the one acceptable offering for our sins.
Don't forget that if we are to be agents of a supernatural transformation, we must live in Jesus Christ. We must be repentant of our own sins. We must live and act in the State of Sanctifying Grace as a means of holiness and a fortification against the devil. We must use confession frequently and receive Communion worthily or our efforts will be merely human. They will fall short in a battle which is supernatural.
And now you must act. I must act but you, also. I'll tell you a secret: I cannot do it without you. I am shepherd and I must lead. The Holy Spirit will speak also to you – precisely to act in consonance with the Church, never contrary.
What are the "marks" of the Church? She is One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic. What we do flows from holiness, it must flow from the apostolic succession to whom was promised a special grace of the Holy Spirit. But then – and this I have said over and over again to thousands of high school students presented to me for Confirmation: You must be apostles! You must be witnesses for Christ in every circumstance and to those you meet each day. I cannot be there when a work associate or school mate is in need. You may be called – indeed you are – to be Jesus Christ at that moment. You will save lives.
I said we must take initiative. Our Lord said to the apostles in the boat after they had fished all night unsuccessfully, "Duc in altum! – Put out into the deep!" Every week I get calls or emails, "Bishop, I think we should do this … Here is a great program I have heard was successful. I think you should start this." I know Adrienne gets these calls also. Our Office for Respect Life has done so much and I know we will persevere in doing all we can. But I say to you: Take initiative. Make sure, first, that what you do is in accord with the principles of our efforts and the teachings of the Church. Then, check out the proposal with some good level-headed friends. If it reflects on your parish directly, get permission from your pastor. Never act contrary to your pastors, to whom I have entrusted a most solemn responsibility. But then, do little things, and do great things! Act to accomplish some good when and how you can. Don't be reckless, but be daring! IN the Gospel passage I mentioned, after the miraculous catch of fish, when the nets were full, St. Peter realized what had happened. In humility He begged our Lord to leave him. "I am a sinful man." Jesus said rather, "Don't be afraid. You will be catching men!"
In our work we must do much good and – just as important - we must act against what is clearly evil. We must take this responsibility. It is possible to commit sins of omission where there is grave responsibility. The US bishops, for more than thirty years have held a strategic principle that Roe v. Wade must be overturned. Why is this? Because it is a grave evil that has become a fundamental element of law in our country. It must be opposed. We always seek to do it legally, but with the fervor of American freedom, and the fiery insistence born of the Holy Spirit. We must overturn unjust laws. Obviously and with great urgency, we must change a law that exposes human life to the terror of abortion. It seems a long road. Progress is so slow. Through many courageous and hard-fought battles we have put in place – particularly in the States – some small but important limits on abortions: waiting periods, parental notification requirements, use of ultrasounds, alternatives counseling, etc. We have also been able to establish limits on tax dollars used for abortion, and conscience protection for individuals and, for example, for our Catholic Health Care institutions.
Before I go further, it is very important to note: We, the Catholic Church, continue to do MORE than any other private institution – bar none – to support life at every stage. We do more to help the poor, the sick, the hopeless, certainly women in difficult pregnancies and those with young families. We will never stop doing these things. We must not. We will do them out of a conviction about the dignity and value of every human person, and out of a motive of love of Christ. But these things are NOT enough! We have to stop evil where we can. We must defeat or overturn destructive laws. As private citizens, we have to support elected officials who support life and defeat or remove those who boldly declare a pro-choice, anti-life agenda.
Because the efforts to dislodge what is evil are so arduous – we know that evil will not give up without a fight; It shouldn't surprise us that certain groups – even those under the banner of "Catholic," have set a different agenda, one that while supporting a public work of assistance to those in need, nonetheless chooses not to address unjust and destructive laws that take their daily toll of thousands of human lives. They seem to tolerate and even support, at times, a program that systematically continues its clearly declared strategy to remove all limits on access to abortion. They say, "Let us forget about Roe v Wade – concede it, because we have not yet been able to defeat it. … Let such evils run their course. We will try to do some good and this will be enough."
I assure you, evil and selfishness looks for us to drop our guard. The Freedom of Choice act has not been enacted; but piece by piece all its elements are finding their way into our law. The efforts that had been won painstakingly over the last generation – limits on abortion that can be shown, statistically, to reduce the number of abortions in our country by hundreds of thousands per year - are today being nullified. We must do much charity, much work in mercy, and develop more safety nets for those who are in need. But, at the same time, we must work for the change of what is unjust. Our first call is to provide and protect justice – and the primordial human right is life – for those who are most vulnerable, who have no voice of their own. We will act with respect and we will not ever, ever, resort to violence, but we must not cease to work actively against evil, anymore than we would abandon the initiatives of active charity that mark the work of Jesus Christ. You and I must do these things. I am counting on you!
A year or so ago I didn't know what a "Community organizer" was. I'm still not so sure. But perhaps you must become community organizers, provided that the organic foundation of what you do is of the Holy Spirit; that it is an authentic work of the apostolic Church. Do everything prayerfully, faithfully, peacefully, but with courage and the fire of the Holy Spirit. Work together so that the ONEness of the Church is notable in your efforts. Do the truth in love.
This evening we will spend some time – as I understand – to plan out some of the principles and initiatives that must guide us in the next year. In doing so I am very conscious of a significant transition that is underway in the work in our Diocese. Mrs. Adrienne Doring is soon to give birth and, as you know, she has reluctantly decided to step down as the founding director of our diocesan Respect Life office and apostolate. Adrienne's was a trial by fire, as she entered this apostolate in the height of the "cloning debate" and the effort against Amendment 2 – a state constitutional amendment that tragically placed unfettered human embryonic stem cell research under the protection of the law. Outcomes aside, Adrienne became known throughout Missouri – and in many parts of our country - as a true dynamo of energy, authentic faith, and powerful witness for life. She has lead us to Washington and helped to set in motion all the initiatives about which I spoke. I talk. She does it! Adrienne has helped to recalibrate the moral compass of our community. Your own untiring efforts are more focused, better organized and more effective because of the faith-filled electricity generated in the heart and soul of our Adrienne Doring. Thanks be to God. Thank you, Adrienne, and God bless you, Greg, and baby Doring, now and always!
Friends, thank you for your prayers and work which so much please God, cause you to grow in holiness, and prosper the defense of life and the promotion of human dignity. May our Blessed Mother assist us to love more deeply every human person as an unrepeatable child of God after the image of Christ.

In today's economic and social environment, issues related to social responsibility and sustainability are gaining more and more importance, especially in the business sector. Business goals are inseparable from the societies and environments within which they operate. Whilst short-term economic gain can be pursued, the failure to account for longer-term social and environmental impacts makes those business practices unsustainable.
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) can be understood as a management concept and a process that integrates social and environmental concerns in business operations and a company's interactions with the full range of its stakeholders.
The objective of this course is to introduce the participant to the concept of Corporate Social Responsibility today, operationalising the term and ensuring a cohesive definition of CSR and its applications for corporate sustainability. The learning materials and tools available through the courses allow participants acquire relevant introductory knowledge that will help them and their organizations to better address social responsibility concerns through a United Nations perspective and from therein promote and accelerate adherence to the UN Global Compact principles and progress on the Millennium Development Goals. The UN and its work on CSR are therefore highlighted showing how the UN Global Compact fits into the CSR approach, as well as the role UN agencies have played in moving forward the concept of CSR.
By the end of this course, participants are expected to meet the following learning objectives:
- To define and summarise the concept of Corporate Social Responsibility;
- To review alternative definitions of CSR and their strengths and limitations;
- To assess comparative needs for CSR; and
- To distinguish between the application of CSR in various practical situations.
The course consists of ten modules:
- Introduction & History of CSR
- CSR Definitions Explored
- Comments on the Definitions of CSR and Sustainability
- Why CSR and Where is CSR Today?
- The United Nations on CSR
- Should CSR be compulsory?
- Is CSR philanthropy?
- Applying Definitions in Practice - Practical Examples of CSR (Cadbury, NEC, Wal-Mart, Novo Nordisk Case Studies)
- Testing Understanding
This e-Learning course provides participants with (a) compulsory reading materials; (b) additional reading materials; (c) bibliography of references; (d) glossary of terms; (e) external links to internet resources; (f) discussion forum; (g) one end-of-course quiz to test understanding and provide final grading.
The course requires approximately a 20-hour time investment over a period of two weeks and invites participants to read a number of articles, to watch videos, to reflect on their social and economic environment, and to go through case studies analysis that are provided throughout the course. Upon registration, access to the course is granted during four weeks.
By the end of the course, students will have a better understanding of the need for CSR and be able to explain alternative definitions, their strengths and limitations.
There is an end-of-course quiz intended to help participants self-assess their level of comprehension. Participants who obtain a final score of at least 80% will be awarded a certificate of completion.
The course aims to address the needs of professionals in private companies, NGOs, International Organisations and Governments who are currently involved in CSR, or would like to be involved in CSR, and wish to apply and embed the concept of CSR in their institution.
"I really like it and I think there is a real need for such a course. Excellent layout and content, and the right balance between theory and practice. Congratulations! Dr. Thomas Osburg. Head, Corporate Responsibility, Intel, Europe.
The course is estimated to take an average of 2.5 days of consecutive learning time. However, the recommended amount is one hour per business day, or four - five weeks depending on the participant's schedule and daily obligations. To allow for more flexibility to complete the readings, quiz and assignments, participants are given access to the course for three months. The registration deadline has been extended from December 7th, 2012 due to high demand and to allow more flexibility for registration from participants.

Besides aren't things always made more dramatic in books and even in history than what they really were??
Let's be clear here, none of us are going to state invading other realms to start making a name for ourselves. They lived in a much different era when all you really had to do was have money and people looked up to you.
There's no real point in sitting around and seeing yourself as a loser because your life is different from what you aspired to be. And stop comparing yourself to people who are mythical, they wren't perfect and had a hell of a lot of flaws.

HECA at the Commission on Sustainable Development Partnerships Fair
The World Health Organization, UNICEF and UNEP, in collaboration with stakeholders in the Healthy Environments for Children Alliance (HECA), held a panel discussion during the Partnerships Fair of CSD-11 on Wednesday 7 May 2003. The Partnerships Fair is being introduced into CSD-11 to enable those with experiences or information about sustainable development partnerships, and those who wish to become involved in such partnerships, to meet and share experiences. The event was moderated by Dr Robert Musil, Executive Director and CEO, Physicians for Social Responsibility and panelists included: Dr David Nabarro, Executive Director, Sustainable Development and Healthy Environments, World Health Organization; Dr Vanessa Tobin, Chief, Water, Environment and Sanitation Section, UNICEF; Mr Adnan Amin, Director, New York Office, United Nations Environment Programme; and Ms Susan West Marmagas, Director, Environmental Health Programs, Physicians for Social Responsibility. The HECA event during the Partnerships Fair was an opportunity to present HECA, brief delegates on developments since WSSD and the outcomes of HECA alliance-building efforts, and engage in a dialogue with potential stakeholders/interested parties on opportunities for involvement and action in the global alliance. The official Web site on the Partnerships Fair can be viewed at: http://www.un.org/esa/sustdev/partnerships/csd11_partnership_fair.htm.
Issues and Challenges in Health and Sustainable Development
The keynote address "Issues and Challenges in Health and Sustainable Development" [.pdf, 1.44MB] was delivered by WHO Executive Director Dr David Nabarro at the Health and Sustainable Development Conference, University of Nijmegen, The Netherlands (1 April 2003).
Health at the Heart of Sustainable Development: Highlights of the World Summit on Sustainable Development
At the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD), sustainable development was reaffirmed as a central component of the international agenda. New impetus was given to global action to protect the environment and fight poverty. The development needs of Africa were identified for special attention and support by the international community. A wide range of targets and concrete commitments for action to implement sustainable development objectives were agreed to and reaffirmed by governments. Health (the theme of the first plenary) was identified as one of five priority sectoral issues, along with water, energy, agriculture and biodiversity (see the WEHAB document "A Framework for Action on Health and the Environment" - [.pdf, 196KB]).
The major outcomes of WSSD included a negotiated Plan of Implementation (featuring health throughout, as well as a separate chapter on health), a Political Declaration, and a number of implementation partnerships and initiatives. Among the most significant achievements of the Summit was a new target to halve by the year 2015 the proportion of people who do not have access to basic sanitation.
Examples of targets in other areas was one that aimed, by 2020, to use and produce chemicals in ways that lead to the minimisation of significant adverse effects on human health and the environment…taking into account the precautionary approach. In the area of health promotion, there was an agreement to enhance health education with the objective of achieving improved health literacy on a global basis by 2010. A wide variety of actions in the area of health care and disease control, environmental health, nutrition and lifestyle-related diseases and risks, child health and women's health, and intersectoral policy and planning initiatives were addressed throughout the implementation plan.
An agreement to diversify energy supply and substantially increase the global share of renewable energy sources with the objective of increasing its contribution to total energy supply was significant, even though the Summit failed to reach agreement on a specific target. There was also support for the establishment of a world solidarity fund for the eradication of poverty and promotion of social and human development in developing countries.
New measures to strengthen institutional arrangements for sustainable development at international, regional and national levels were called for as well as an enhanced role for the Commission on Sustainable Development in reviewing and monitoring progress in the implementation of Agenda 21 and fostering coherence of implementation, initiatives and partnerships. Also of significance was the agreement to take immediate steps in the formulation and elaboration of national strategies for sustainable development, aiming for implementation by 2005.
Over 8000 civil society participants attended the Summit, which was reinforced by a number of parallel events, including one by WHO, the Government of South Africa, and other institutions on Health and Sustainable Development.
The concept of partnerships (referred to as "type 2" outcomes) between governments, business and civil society was given added momentum by the Summit and the Plan of Implementation. Over 220 partnerships with 235 million dollars in resources were identified in advance of the Summit and around 60 partnerships were announced during the Summit by a variety of countries (see the Health and Sustainable Development Partnerships listing on the official WSSD Web site). Many more were announced outside of the formal Summit proceedings.
Significant funding pledges were announced, including a commitment by the US to spend 2.3 billion through 2003 on health, some of which was earmarked earlier for the Global Fund. Sixteen partnerships submissions were received in health with USD 3 million in resources.
WHO organized a series of meetings and events to prepare the health agenda at WSSD (see WHO Preparations for WSSD). It also contributed a number of documents to the WSSD, including "Health and Sustainable Development: Key Health Trends," "Health in the Context of Sustainable Development: Background Document," and "Health and Sustainable Development: Addressing the Issues and Challenges." At the WSSD itself, WHO provided technical support and ensured a high profile for health and sustainable development including through the following activities organized with a wide range of partners:
- Side Event on "Health and Environment in the 21st Century: Priorities and Action Strategies to Secure Our Children's Future"; WHO, UNICEF, UNEP, and Physicians for Social Responsibility. This resulted in the identification of key policy actions in health, environment, and sustainable development at national and international levels in the post-WSSD period.
- Parallel Event: "Health and Sustainable Development"; WHO, Department of Health, South Africa, in association with other institutions. This all day parallel event consisted of five plenary sessions, including a ministerial roundtable and panel discussions on investing in health, children's health and the environment, research partnerships, and intersectoral action in practice.
- Inauguration of the Healthy Environments for Children Alliance (HECA). The Director-General of WHO officially presented the global alliance aimed at scaling up global action to address priority health dangers and environmental risks in the places where children live, are educated, and play.
- WHO's UBUNTU Village Exhibit "Strengthening the Role of Health in Sustainable Development".
- Virtual Exhibition—WHO's Healthy Cities Project was included in the Business Action for Sustainable Development/UNDP Virtual Exhibition, which showcased sustainable development projects from around the world.
Further information can be obtained by viewing the WHO Contributions section of this Web site, which features summaries of WHO preparatory activities, documents, and event announcements relating to health and sustainable development at WSSD.


text: An Actor's Best Friend? The Casting Director March 3, 2006 In the final part of a series on the movie industry, we take a look at the Hollywood job on which so many acting jobs depend: the casting director. Casting directors are on the front line for actors, agents and directors. They must be fans and professionals at the same time. An Actor's Best Friend?

To dark for crane pictures, also to busy setting them to take photos. We started at 3am in the morning and finished setting all the Stratego systems by 5am. Here are a few pics. More to follow. These are just from my cell..the others are from a digital cam that I am waiting on.
All done up with harnesses, hard hats, steel toes, and orange vests..everything to keep OSHA and the rest of the on-site inspectors and safety supervisors happy...also 25 million dollars, minimum liability insurance coverage to even step foot on this job-site. It was a bit hectic to keep up with all the questions, forms, and getting the final Okay to start lifting. Not to mention all the crap and insurance coverage our poor crane guy had to come up with!
We are the only non-union contractor for this and the other jobs for this company. We have the easy job of just supplying the equipment and initial start-ups. The big boys are in-charge of electrical connections, all the duct work, gas connections, and balancing.
I just walked into the front offices one day and asked to have an opportunity to submit a bid. Here we are a few months later with a contract to supply Stratego systems for this and all the future jobs. This is proof that even us small guys during this recession can take the initiative to find good paying work. Miracles do happen...so happy about landing this job that i wanted to share. Whether union, non-union, big company, or a one-man-band, there is plenty of work still out there if you just sell yourself right.
And NO this is not a Walmart...just a large commercial builder who is looking for as many LEED points as possible with all their jobs. If you didn't know the Lennox Strategos was designed originally for Walmarts and was designed with gaining as many LEED points one can get with a RTU unit. Currently, no other manufacture can come close, but I hope they will try.
Should have filmed my 30 second VetoPac video..but I took a pic of my little bag at work instead.

It has been ten years since the Republic of Ireland's last major tournament and 24 since their only previous appearance at a UEFA European Championship. If there is an obvious sense of excitement in the camp, it is brought into sharper relief by the demeanour of Croatia – their rivals in the teams' opening Group C game – going into tomorrow's encounter.
Croatia have become regulars at such events, and the atmosphere at training and in their pre-match press conference was relaxed and jovial. They have been here before. "We have been ranked in the top ten teams in the world for the last five years," said their coach Slaven Bilić. "We have only missed two tournaments since independence – it is a phenomenal achievement for a country our size."
One of only four Irish players to have tasted the experience of a big tournament, captain Robbie Keane admitted that if he had known the 2002 FIFA World Cup would be his last for ten years, "he wouldn't have taken it for granted". Now the players, and the nation, cannot wait to join the big stage again. Their coach, speaking alongside Keane at the Municipal Stadium Poznan, has seen it all before, though.
Giovanni Trapattoni said he would approach the tournament with the same mindset that has served him so well over the years. "Every goal I face is a challenge. I still have the same determination, the same concentration and the same attention to detail," said Trapattoni, who led Ireland through a play-off with Estonia to be in Poland and Ukraine. "I'm really grateful to the Irish people because they believe in us – they believe in what we've done."
The 73-year-old Italian becomes the oldest coach at a European Championship when his side take on Croatia in Poznan. In Bilić, he comes up against a man 30 years his junior, but he refutes that either his experience, or the Croatian's exuberance, will be decisive. "No matter what your age is, it is important to learn and reach new goals. Bilić has just as hard a task as me."
Bilić is no greenhorn anymore, either, having started his coaching career over ten years ago. Nevertheless, he is fully aware what Trapattoni brings to the table. "He is Mr Calcio, Juventus, Inter. He is still the man and is doing very well with the Irish team – I am fascinated and respect these coaches that have huge experience. Their training sessions are perfect. He's a huge figure."
The Croatia coach is in his last tournament leading the national team, and is looking forward to each game at UEFA EURO 2012. "Ireland did a great job in their group. They play very well, but their football is straightforward so we can't over-analyse them," he added, before letting his mind look forward at the future challenges. "We still have to play against Italy and Spain, so we are not just focused on Ireland."
With such giants of the international game looming large, some observers have suggested this is the most important match for both teams. But for a man who has been there before, it is not so much the teams to come as what the first result can give a side going into those tests. "If you win the first match you get enthusiasm and motivation," Trapattoni said. "That is why the first match is so important to get through the qualifying rounds."

A four-year-old boy has been praised for calling 999 when his mother had an epileptic seizure.
Brealyn Adams made the call when his mother Kathryn suffered the seizure at their home in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Leicestershire, in May.
During the call, the youngster asks for an ambulance before answering the call handler's questions and following her instructions.
When asked what his mother is doing, Brealyn answers: "She's lying on the floor. She's in pain".
The youngster tells handler Jennie Kirkland that his mother cannot talk and is not awake and then gives his name and address.
He then follows her instructions on how to check whether his mother is breathing.
Brealyn has now been rewarded for his brave actions by East Midlands Ambulance Service.
He was presented with a certificate and toy ambulance and teddy bear at their headquarters and also met Ms Kirkland.
After meeting Ms Kirkland, Brealyn said: "I am really happy to have met Jennie because she helped save my mummy's life."
Ms Adams also praised Ms Kirkland and her son.
She said: "At the end of the day, she is a lifesaver. Without her - and, of course, Brealyn, who has been amazing - I may not even have been here talking to you now.
"The ambulance crew who looked after me were fantastic too, and I'd like to thank them.
"But I do think it's really important people realise there is a part of the chain before that - the people who take the calls and dispatch the ambulances."
Ms Kirkland, from Nottingham, said: "I am so happy that I got to meet Brealyn - he is really lovely and his family are too. I'm so glad his mum is well again."

My biggest issue is lack of a more apparent structure, as I think the mother's arc was implied so early on in the most straightforward manner, and the film struggles to establish a forward momentum when it needed to advance the more plot-oriented transitions
I kinda wish someone cut out the power to my theater 2 minutes before the film ended. 'cause then it would've been a perfect movie.

Here's a free public relations tip for the University of New Mexico: Quit stinking up the joint with questionable use of taxpayer money and you wouldn't have to spend $152,000 this year on a Washington, D.C., hotshot to polish your image.$152,000? You've got to be kidding. No, I'm not. More on that later.First things first. UNM is an excellent institution, the state's showcase center of higher educational achievement. It is renowned for solid academic achievement.(Well, okay, maybe we could have lived without the UNM study that concluded Albuquerque fertile topless lap dancers earned twice as much in tips than non-fertile Albuquerque topless lap dancers, but, dang it, research geeks deserve to have some fun, too. "She's Got Eggs," chortled New York Times Magazine.)Fun aside, too often UNM is trying to match state government on the stink-o-meter. One recent example is diversion of state taxpayer funds intended for a think tank but used instead to pay travel and tuition expenses for a women's rugby team.The Center for Regional Studies website describes its mission: "Create new sources of knowledge about New Mexico and the U.S.

Newest Player in Used Videogames: Wal-Mart
Retailer Moves In on GameStop's Turf in Pre-Owned Titles
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is making a play for the used videogame business, a move that could bring in new customers while rankling GameStop Corp., which has long dominated the market.
Starting next week, the world's largest retailer will allow shoppers to trade in used videogames for anything from groceries to gadgets across 3,100 of its stores. Customers will receive gift cards ranging from a few dollars to more than $35, based on the value of the games they turn in. Those cards can be redeemed in stores and online....

I was reviewing some of the rimSkin pages after the post on January 26th and realized I missed a great hack that I thought I would include. Glow in the dark products need light for a charge. I remember putting some glow in the dark stickers on my ceiling as a kid and they would glow for a few minutes and then would fade.
So if you are riding a bike with glow in the dark rim stickers, how do you ensure that the glow will continue? Attaching a light to the fork blades gives you a continuous "charge." So cool.
The rimskin folks seem to be including a light for this purpose in their proposal, called the BullFrog-RS.

Wednesdays with Bret!
In case you missed me bragging about it, my school year is already over and I am currently enjoying my summer break-and yes, I am rubbing it in 🙂 That being the case, I've had a lot of time to reflect on this year and what's been good about it. The word that keeps popping up in my mind?—Edmodo. This was my first year to use the site and I can safely say that the way I teach is completely different because of it. You see, Edmodo is much more than an LMS or blog, but an incredible community where both students and teachers learn how to… well, learn. I've come to understand that things are different in the classroom now, that rows no longer work, that students don't really want to hear me talk too much, that poster boards do not count as creative applications of learned concepts and that sharing your work with someone in Spain or Chicago is way cooler than hanging it on the room's bulletin board. And I literally learned all of this from Edmodo – every bit. I'll be honest, I wasn't even looking for a site like Edmodo when I stumbled across a link I found for it in Glogster. In fact, when I first came to it, I thought, "This is cool, but I probably won't use it." I'm so glad I was wrong about that. Before Edmodo, I heard a lot of stuff about having a student centered classroom and because I didn't really know what that looked like, I developed a 'sour-grapes' attitude toward achieving such a thing, justifying why I shouldn't. It is amazing when you just stumble upon something that makes you become the teacher you always hoped you'd be. For that Edmodo, please accept my deepest thanks.
To give you an idea of what I'm talking about, I decided to do a 'before and after' shot at what Edmodo has done to change my teaching-I hope it inspires similar change in any teachers who are riding the fence on this issue.
I would stand in front of the room when reading a story or passage, read it to the students and then explain what they were supposed to understand and feel when reading the selection
I have students go to a prepared Glogster to listen to a recording of the passage while they read it. Meanwhile, I am chatting with them in Edmodo and asking open ended questions that cause them to explore what they read. I do not 'say' a word.
After that, I use Prezi to have a class discussion. I did a review on this not too long ago, so I won't go too in depth about this. Basically, I give one member in a group editing access and let them contribute their group's responses to the passage to my Prezi. The class sees the change instantly and real discussion begins. I say very little.
I printed a ton of worksheets for grammar, reading, writing-you name it. I'm a bit of a granola-organic nut so it physically hurt me to do this, plus the paper that I so painfully run off was not well received by my students as worksheets are boring!
Edmodo gets Crocodoc! Seriously amazing-if there is any "worksheet" that I have to use, I can put it in Edmodo and it is viewable without navigating away, leaving my students able to chat about the concepts in the form and even add their own material. Very cool.
You can also link to great sites like Spelling City or subscribe your group to podcasts like Grammar Girl and really change the way your students acquire skills.
I did all vocabulary through word walls. While this practice is not bad (I still do it) it can be even better with Edmodo. Before, I would pass out little slips of paper with the vocabulary words on it and have my students add them to the wall in the noun, verb and adjective sections…and then be done with it.
Completely different experience when you go web-based. First, I have my students create videos using their words in Animoto. As these have embed codes, the students can put them directly in Edmodo for the class to watch. After that, I create a poll in Edmodo where students can vote for their favorite video.
Create your own video slideshow at animoto.com.
As for the word wall thing, we make one together using Giffy. It's a collaborative diagram maker where I can start a graphic organizer and add my students as editors to. I then send them the link in Edmodo and let them manipulate the field and sort words in ways that make sense to them. This also has an embed code so the students can embed each of their interpretations of how to organize the words to their class in Edmodo-a web-based word wall!
These are just a few examples of what I mean. I could keep going, but I'm pretty sure I'm using up enough space as it is. You get the idea right? And I also want to add, that all the sites that I mentioned I heard about from community members in Edmodo which is probably the most valuable aspect of the site. I've been truly humbled by the incredibly giving and helpful people I've met in the community groups. Thank you all of you; you prove that we are right about 21st century education and that the changes in education are good, led by good people.
I can't say enough about how amazing this year has been. I am a better teacher because of a website and I am not ashamed to admit it. If you know teachers who are tired of the same ol'-same ol'-would you recommend Edmodo? They might have fun at work again and that ain't a bad thing (can you tell I'm from Texas yet?).
Thanks again for checking this out-until next time friends.

Do your students have laptops in the classroom? What technology do you use to present info/show stuff? What kind of technology access do students have?
Sounds interesting, but I'd like to know more.
good day
Yes, my students all have laptops. For student use, the laptops are the main technology access that they have. We also have eLearning remotes, but that's pretty much. As far as presenting, I have access to a STAR Board and a document camera but since all of my students have laptops, I usually don't need them. Thanks for your questions-good day to you as well.
I am a student. I was wondering when you press show all it pops up all the kids in your class and there are stars under their name. What do the stars mean?

Um. I filled out the questionnaire on eHarmony.com. Not sure why, I guess, except that my friend did it, and he actually had favorable results. His matchups didn't work out for him, but I'll bet that if he'd stuck with it, they would have.
I filled out the survey live (sort of) on my podcast and then pretty much left it at that because I didn't have the time or money for the actual service. But recently, I turned on notifications, meaning I requested that eHarmony.com send me emails whenever the system found matches for me. Until I pay for the service, however, I cannot take it to the next step, which is communicating with the matches through the website.
Some of the people I got matched up with are from Oahu, which is encouraging. Some are teachers, which is also encouraging. The emails I get tell me the first names of the people I supposedly match, plus their heights (!) and occupations. Is height that much of a big deal for most people?
One of my matches is someone I actually sort-of know! The first name is very unusual, and the description of her occupation makes me certain it's the person I'm thinking of. That's kind of funny.
No, I don't think we'd ever work as a couple, but she is definitely someone I could have been good friends with in a different time and place. That's encouraging, right?
So I'm thinking of just giving the service a try. What do you think?

How about using currency tokens (bills or coins) as a medium for some aspect of The Knowledge?
- Like the 'State' tokens in the Eurozone or US, concise bits of The Knowledge might be directly printed or cast in different runs.
- Information pointing to a repository site (e.g., inscribed stone, a la the Georgia Guidestones).
- Using a document construction scheme (as seen in the movie Contact)* would allow redundant bits to be assembled into a larger whole, potentially carrying more information.
- Mix and match strategies (e.g., Site could provide directions to how to assemble tokens... flip sides pointer/content).
- And...???
Wide distribution in reasonably durable materials (in the case of bills) would increase chances of survival and (re)discovery.
Perhaps a 'legend' about them, fashioned to travel generations, word to mouth, that would identify them as pieces of a puzzle to be treasured, preserved, gathered, assembled and scrutinized?
Now to soon might be a good moment for governmental participation... I'm seeing more and more awareness and will around the possibility of calamity/collapse in authoritative circles. Maybe we could sell it as a last ditch 'national defense' fall-back? In my (pipe) dreams, maybe it could be adapted as international reserve currency?

* The document assembly scheme from Contact involved patterns at the corners of each page. A document was assembled by matching corner patterns, determining the arrangement of individual pages within the larger document.
In the case of bills or coins, there would be many duplicates of individual pages, increasing the odds that any given page would be discovered and gathered for assembly. Only one is necessary for its inclusion within the assembled document.

It seemed more than suitable to publicise this new blog in the same week that Dr Joseph Chikelue Obi (for past history of litigious and absurd behaviour see here, here, here and newspaper report here)claims he has been
formally elevated to the Hereditary Scottish Gentry. Professor Obi is to henceforth be formally styled as : The Rt Hon Laird Obi of Kincavel.And many congratulations indeed to him for that. If you too would like to be formally elevated to the Hereditary Scottish Gentry, so you too can live in a dreamworld and get people to refer to you as Laird Of Kincavel, then please send £26.74 to these people, who will send you all the bumf and legal documents to allow you to do so. You can join the ranks of Dr Obi, lose any vestige of credibility you once had, and perhaps if you're lucky, get yourself onto www.DoctoredCV.org.uk!
If you have any blogposts that fit the bill for Doctored CV, leave a comment with a link and I'll take it from there. Please also add the link to your blogroll, if you have a blog.

Haliaeetus leucocephalus
|Conservation status
|Numbers declined seriously during the first two-thirds of the 20th century. Shooting was one major cause; even after the eagles were given full legal protection, they continued to decline, probably because of the effects of DDT and other persistent pesticides. Following the banning of DDT, numbers have been increasing gradually since the 1970s, with spectacular recoveries in some states.
|Hawks and Eagles
|Coasts, rivers, large lakes; in migration, also mountains, open country. Typically close to water, also locally in open dry country. Occurs in a variety of waterside settings where prey is abundant, including swamps in Florida, edges of conifer forest in southeastern Alaska, treeless islands in Aleutians, desert rivers in Arizona. Also winters in some very dry western valleys.
Opportunistic; sometimes a predator, sometimes a scavenger. Does much hunting by watching from a high perch, then swooping down to catch prey in its talons. Also hunts by cruising very low over sea or land, taking prey by surprise. Where fish are abundant (as at spawning runs), may wade in shallow water to pursue them. Sometimes steals fish from Ospreys or other birds. Also lands on ground to feed on carrion.
2, sometimes 1-3. White. Incubation is by both parents, 34-36 days.
At least one parent remains with young almost constantly for first 2 weeks. Both parents bring prey to nest, tearing food into small pieces and feeding it directly to young at first; after 3-6 weeks, young begin pecking at food dropped in nest. In seasons when prey is scarce, only largest young may survive. Age at first flight about 10-12 weeks.
Mostly fish when available, also birds, mammals. Feeds heavily on fish in many areas, including herring, salmon, carp, catfish, many others. When fish are scarce, may eat birds (ducks, coots, auklets, others) or mammals (jackrabbits, muskrats, others). Sometimes eats turtles, crabs, shellfish, other items. Often feeds on carrion; when fish or carrion readily available, may catch few birds or mammals.
Usually first breeds at age 4-5 years, and may mate for life. Nest site is usually in tree, often on cliff in west, or on ground on northern islands. Tree nests are usually in very tall tree, standing above surrounding forest, up to 180' or more above ground. Nest (built by both sexes) usually a mound of sticks, lined with finer materials; nest may be reused and added to for years, becoming huge. Great Horned Owls sometimes take over nests.

Telstra begins restoring services in Qld
- 28 January, 2013 19:47
Telstra landline, mobile and broadband services are progressively being restored across Central and Northern Queensland following repairs to a damaged fibre optic cable at Colosseum.
The cable was damaged by severe flooding in the area on Friday evening and was repaired after Telstra technicians were flown into Colosseum by helicopter this morning with around 1km of fibre cable on-board for repairs.
Telstra technicians have accessed a damaged cable north of Harlin by four-wheel-drive and are currently repairing the damage.
Telstra has also put in place redundancy in the area via links from Darwin.
The telco's customers will have access to emergency triple zero services once landline services are restored.
AAP reported this morning that Telstra services were down across much of Central and Northern Queensland due to the severe weather from ex-tropical cyclone Oswald.
Optus mobile, broadband and 2G and 3G services are continuing to operate in some parts of flood-affected areas in Queensland.
The telco's mobile network is operating from the Sunshine Coast to Cairns and mobile and fixed broadband services are operating in major population centres in Central and North Queensland.
It's 2G and 3G services are operating in Cairns, Townsville, Rockhampton, Mackay, Gladstone, Bundaberg, Gympie and the Sunshine Coast.
Some Optus customers are still experiencing mobile outages in Central and South East Queensland regions, including Longreach, Dalby, Tin Can Bay and Rainbow Beach.
Customers in Brisbane, Ipswich, the Gold Coast and Toowoomba are experiencing mobile disruptions due to power outages in the areas.
Power outages are also affecting fixed voice and broadband services in the Brisbane and Ipswich areas.
Optus has focused its attention on keeping Bundaberg's mobile network operating normally due to the current flood situation in the area and the mass evacuation of residents.
"The Optus network team is closely monitoring the situation across Queensland to ensure we keep the network operational where it is currently available and to restore services as quickly as possible where sites have lost power," Sam Kennedy, director Optus Queensland, said in a statement.
Earlier today Optus tweeted that engineers were working on restoring services but there was currently no estimate time on when services would be back up and running.

Underhand Cast?
Not sure if "Underhand" is the correct terminology; whatever the following cast is I find it very useful while fishing tight to shorelines w/ lots of overhanging brush, branches, degree, etc...
Technique: Back cast is a normal overhand back cast, maybe cheating a little bit to sidearm. Start a gentle forward cast with your casting arm fully extended and high. A normal forward cast would have your casting hand following an approximately parallel path to the waterline. During the underhand cast you want to dip your hand below the parallel plan as you move forward reaching the maximum "dip" as your hand passes your body. Then follow thru by raising hand/arm high, back to atleast the original height of your hand at the beginning of the forward cast.
The dip causes the loop to open up underneath the main fly line, and the fly on the end of the line will almost hit the water and then travel upwards for the last couple feet of carry. As you perfect the amount of "dip" and follow-thru you will learn to control how much of an undercut you flip the fly under.
Early in your learning you will definitely over do it and flip your fly up into the branches, but w/ practice you will find this technique is amazing at getting flies into tight quarters that don't let you use a full sidearm cast.
I do have an illustration of this technique that I drew up that I will gladly share.
I once knew a drug addict... He told me I have a fishing problem!
I do a similar technique but more from a sidearm position. The line more or less draws an S in the air. Very handy for not only casting underneath branches, but also for casting along the bank you're standing on when there's trees above you.
My passion for catching fish is eclipsed only by the fish's passion not to be caught.
Yeah... I started out using a 100% sidearm cast but soon learned that if the stream is too narrow, or, you are facing a narrow opening between two bushes (or the like) the side arm cast is likely to snag either side of the opening. By making the loop open up underneath the main fly line you can still get a fly in there....
Depending on vertical clearance you can land the fly gently in the opening, or, get it to bounce/skip on the surface a couple times as it skitters into the opening... Sometimes this extra commotion is necessary to draw the strike...
Never considered doing a side arm cast to get at that undercut beneath my feet, will have to try that this spring on my local water.
I once knew a drug addict... He told me I have a fishing problem!
Sounds like a neat novelty cast but with all due respect I have a hard time envisioning a fly that flips upward at the end of turnover as a solution to overhanging obstacles.
Historically, the term "underhand" generally refers to two-handed casts with compact quick-loading lines and a distinct inward pump of the lower hand to snap a sharp cast out, this term most often coined by Henrik Mortensen.
On that note for obstacles behind, nothing beats a Spey cast which is essentially a roll cast with a change of direction and maximum efficiency combined with proper mechanics to reach full casting distance.
However I could see how an inverted loop could be also coined "underhand".
Knowing that any variance in the path of the rod tip acceleration affects the loop shape I think I can guess what you're doing. Dipping and widening causes tailing loops, collisions or big loops.
It sounds to me like you are dipping thus opening the loop (because it's inverted), then laying it as you would snap a towel at your buddy as kids (sans the whip-crack) nearly extended into position managing just the last forward reach of the line and leader into said tight spot.
It seems that a skip would "kill" the final extension into said tight spot so it does not make sense to do both at the same time unless one is very lucky.
If that final extension after the layout of the big loop is accurate, I could see it finding it's way into small spots.
Distance would be nearly impossible based on dissipation of loop energy. Collisions and tailing likely, and ground clearance (depth of wading etc) would be limiting factors.
I'm not convinced that a Lefty Kreh loop would be less accurate, or a Simon Gawesworth Spey cast less space-consuming but neat to think about just the same.

Fair points... This is definitely a novelty and "finesse" technique for sure and can have disastrous consequences if used in the wrong circumstances or executed poorly. When I first started using this technique I hooked a a nice 4lb largemouth bass on a deer hair popper that was wrapped around a few branches. Needless to say, that fish was not at the end of line by the time I sorted out the mess.
To avoid the "snapping the towel" effect, I typically lack a pronounced follow-thru but do keep forward motion with the rod. Seems to keep the fly from flipping upward at the very end of the cast. Also, I use this technique for short casts often just 10' in front of me and rarely >20' so the line speed is relatively slow which helps minimize errors.
Even if there is a little upward flip (<6" is ideal) I find its ok for the stillwater shorline obstacles I use this technique to penetrate. Most bushes/shrubs and other overhanging vegetation are more dense at the periphery of the plant; however, just beyond the tips of the branches many become less dense and create an almost cave like overhang. Put two of these obstacles side by side and you often will have a <1' wide, 6" high opening over the water at the edge, but then have a pocket of few square feet of water w/ a 1-2' ceiling. The narrower the opening the less effective the sidearm cast. If the undercut is wide I will use the side arm cast instead. Think of those places bass fisherman flip into using heavy lines and heavy lures to break thru the brush.
If the vertical clearance is 6" or less I will use the same cast and try and get the fly to touch the surface of the water just infront of the opening. The sudden deceleration kills the loop and shortens the cast a bit the fly will typically lead the leader into the brush avoiding any hang-ups of the leader on branches. Typically if the fly hits a leaf/branch it stops and drops to the edge of the brush w/out getting snagged.
Anyway, I agree not a high usage technique for most fly fishing situations. I probalby make this cast <50times per year and snag the brush no more than 10% of the time. I've had great success using it in very skinny waters with log jams, thick shorelines (alders, cranberries, even mangroves) and have dragged out some nice Pike, Pickeral, Bass, Snook, Redfish, etc... Although it can be used for any fly line weight or fly pattern I will concede that its horribly difficult to control small flies on light lines and much easier with stout leaders, big flies, and weed guards help reduce snags in case you miss your target or mis-time your cast.
I once knew a drug addict... He told me I have a fishing problem!
Based on your in-depth response I am convinced you have an effective solution to a tricky situation.
I am definitely going to try it thanks!

I found some drawings I made of this cast but can't post due to file size (resolution is not great in smaller format). If anyone is having difficulty understanding written descriptions I can send drawings in private email. Let me know...
Apologize in advance for being an engineer w/out much artistic skill...
I once knew a drug addict... He told me I have a fishing problem!
an under hand cast uses the leader as the anchor point to load the rod for the forward cast. i sound to me that you line is always in the air.
It sounds like you are describing a cast known as the pendulum cast.
A bit of trivia: The pendulum cast is a major part of the Shadow Cast that Jason Borger performed in the River Runs Through It. It comprises the forward cast.
Definitely similar... See Juro I'm not the only one.
There is one difference, they describe using a sidearm cast. I do it keeping a more vertical back/forward cast and using downward arm motion instead of using wrist motion to initiate underneath loop. 2 planes of movement instead of of three gives better control.. Maybe that is only true for me. I cheat to the side sometimes and situation dependent both styles have there merits, for me side arm puts me in the bushes more.
Here are the drawings I did a while back and kept forgetting to post back on this thread.
I once knew a drug addict... He told me I have a fishing problem!
Because the term "underhand" is a well-established name for a two-handed cast, and "Pendulum cast" is a well-established cast for conventional casters and in fact a technique that is popular for tournament distance casting with level wind reels (try Googling it) - I'll use the term "inverted loop" for this type of cast personally for what that's worth.
Per the article - Paul mentions the upward flip at the end of the cast hitting the trees from below, which is not shown in your diagram. So each technique has it's own liability with respect to the obstacle.
Personal experiences aside, I would expect that since most casters have developed a feel for the path of the upper loop (thus the fly) from many thousands of casts, given a sampling of 100 capable casters putting a fly under a branch the standard casts made with a sideward tilt would result in less snags than the same 100 caster's attempts at an unfamiliar inverted loop.
I would also expect that both the experienced inverted loop caster and the tilted overhead loop would result in some hitting of branches, and as a fisherman first (vs. caster) I would reposition myself and drift the fly down into the spot before resorting to such a cast.
Any amount of whiplash at the end of a horizontally tilted 'normal' cast would miss the branches in the diagram shown.
However, if someone has invested the time into perfecting this with a modicum of control I could see how it would offer another weapon in the arsenal but more so when the branch or obstacle is between the caster and the target rather than above the target as shown, because the leader does not unravel in a perfectly straight plane at the end of the cast as drawn.

"Inverted loop cast"
There is another trick you can do with this cast if you make it in the side arm position. With a normal side arm cast it is easy to make the fly "hook" to the left (right hand caster) to place the fly around an obstacle or ahead of the leader. If you make a side arm inverted loop cast and underpower it you can make the fly hook to the right, which I find almost impossible to do in any other way. I can't say that I can do this consistently because I haven't practised enough but I wish I had learned the technique when I was younger, fishing tiny overgrown brooks in the UK.

I bought a new laptop for teaching so that I can run Windows 8 with Hyper-V for my teaching VMs. I also have an iPad which I used to remote in to my desktop machine and other machines using an RDP application on the iPad called Jump.
What I didn't expect, was that it would be possible to use gestures on the iPad and have been translated into Windows 8 gestures over Remote Desktop.
So here's an example of running Windows 8 over an iPad using jump:
No really,that's actually a screenshot directly from my iPad.
Here's another screenshot where I have clicked on the tools menu and selected the Windows Multitouch option. Once I enable this option, all the Windows 8 gestures work perfectly, and it even runs over LTE .
That's what actually enables the gestures from the iPad to control the remote Windows 8 machine. As far as I'm concerned, it's the next best way to have Windows 8 running on my iPad while I'm waiting for a good Windows 8 Pro tablet! I an waiting on the Lenovo Tablet 2 or Lynx, both of which are overdue, but now promised in December.
As far as Windows 8 is concerned, I'm getting used to the changes. The biggest challenge I had was giving up the Windows start menu which I fixed by using something called Classic Shell until I get used to the new Metro interface.
I'll be talking about Windows 8 and some of the things that I've been through more later.
Happy weekend!

Yes that is the way to use plink in FREESCO.Alternately I could set up the authorized keys, but I have been fighting with that all morning and cannot find where to put which key on the FREESCO machine.
Yes there are two parts of any key file and half to each machine. The receiving machine in the authorized_key file. But the location is dependent on the OS and the SSH server that is running. Dropbear uses a different key file than what OpenSSH uses. So to give more details requires more information about the client OS and servers running.I'm pretty sure that some of the information should go on the remote machines in the authorized keys files. I'm not sure where to find this key or whether I should generate it myself. If FREESCO already has it generated for the ssh command, where would I find it?
