About Noanet Woodlands
Follow a network of trail across a grand preserve that features woodlands and ponds, a former mill site, and Noanet Peak, which offers views of the Boston skyline.
What makes Noanet Woodlands a special place?
We think it's the more than 17 miles of shady trails and woods roads you'll find here for walking, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and horseback riding. Enjoy leisurely strolls, mountain biking, and birding – you might even hike to the top of Noanet Peak for terrific views of the Boston skyline.
Kids will especially enjoy the popular Caryl Trail, a 0.5-mi. walk to an old mill site. For a more strenuous trek, ascend Noanet Peak for views of Boston. The trails here link to the 1,200-acre Hale Reservation, a privately owned open space preserve that offers more miles of trail for an extended day of hiking, skiing, or riding in the woods.
In the spring, listen to and look for warblers, thrushes, and other songbirds. Scarlet tanagers and northern orioles are common throughout the summer, while hawks migrate overhead during the fall. The four ponds are home to bluegills, painted turtles, and bullfrogs. Wildflowers, including pink lady's slipper, flowering wintergreen, and marsh marigold, abound in the woods and marsh.
Through the centuries, this almost-600-acre landscape has seen many uses – as preserved space, an early industrial site, and Native American hunting ground. In 1923, Amelia Peabody purchased a nearby farm and over the next six decades acquired hundreds of acres. Miss Peabody regularly encouraged the public to enjoy her property, and became a beloved figure in the community.
17 miles of trails. Moderate hiking, strenuous in places.

Property History
"Noanet" was likely the name of a chief of the Natick Indians, a tribal group probably affiliated with the Nipmuc and Wampanoag, who camped on this land, fished the Charles River, and hunted along Noanet Brook. Settlers used the present-day Powisset Farm for agriculture as early as 1720. Powisset's most notable 18th-century farmer was Samuel Fisher, Jr., who was raising livestock and growing hay and corn by the 1790s. While Powisset Farm was arable, owners initially found little use for the granite hills and ledges and lowland brook and swamp of the adjacent woodlands.
Fisher was the first to look at Noanet Brook and see the potential for industry. He built a sawmill along the banks and did a booming business in the 1820s and 1830s producing building materials for the growing town of Dedham.
In 1815, investors also seeking to harness the power of Noanet Brook falls established the Dover Union Iron Company, and the steep banks of the ravine between Noanet Peak and Strawberry Hill were excavated to make room for a mill. But the company soon fell on hard times and was dissolved by 1840. In 1876, the milldam was breached by a flood and fell into disrepair until 1954, when it was restored. Today, the 24-foot-high dam and opening to the underground tailrace are preserved, but visitors will have to imagine a towering 36-foot overshot wheel that powered the mill.
In the 1830s and 40s, Calvin Richards operated a mill on Noanet Brook on the northeast corner of the property. The site's shallow slope possibly required an above-ground aqueduct 200 feet long that delivered water from upstream.
In 1923, Miss Amelia Peabody purchased a farm on Dedham Street in Dover. Over the next six decades, she acquired parcels of land stretching south to Powisset Farm, eventually forming an 800-acre estate onto which she invited the public to share her many agricultural and conservation interests. Miss Peabody developed bridle paths throughout the lands she acquired for both herself and the Norfolk Hunt Club. These, and associated fire roads, were meticulously maintained for hiking, horseback riding, and cross-country skiing by the public.
Initially, Miss Peabody used part of her property to stable thoroughbred horses for show, sale, hunting, and riding. By the end of World War II, she had acquired a herd of Hereford cattle and a number of Yorkshire pigs, the best specimens of which she entered in livestock shows throughout the region. "Field days" for pig farmers and cattle breeders were frequently held at her farm. She was also interested in food crops, and planted and harvested potatoes and sweet corn. Her interest in conservation led Miss Peabody to plant native species of wildflowers, trees, and shrubs on parts of her estate. To ensure the long-term conservation of her the land, she bequeathed property to both the New England Wildflower Society and The Trustees of Reservations when she died in 1984.
Property Acquisition History
Original acreage a bequest, with endowment, of Amelia Peabody in 1984. Added to previous gifts of Mrs. Henry B. Cabot in 1975 and Henry B. Cabot, Jr. in 1979. Additional land given by Brookfield Estates in 1996.
Conservation and Stewardship
Management Planning for Our Properties
Since 1891, The Trustees of Reservations have worked to protect special places in Massachusetts and maintain them to the highest standards. To ensure these standards are met, a program of careful planning and sound management is essential. Comprehensive property management plans are created for each reservation and are completely updated approximately every ten years. We often work with volunteers, property users, and members of the community to carry out this planning, which typically involves several steps:
- Describing in detail the site's natural, scenic, and historical resources; identifying management issues related to the protection of those resources.
- Describing how visitors use the property; outlining the opportunities that the property provides for people to become involved in the work of conservation and caring for their community.
- Developing a detailed list of management recommendations, a work plan, and a description of financial needs for implementing the actions.
- Developing a prescribed routine management program for the reservation that will guide staff work plans, volunteer involvement, and the allocation of human and financial resources.

Charlie Sheen Thinks His Former Two and a Half Men Co-Star Is In a Cult
When Charlie Sheen thinks you sound crazy, you know something is wrong.
Two and a Half Men star Angus T. Jones recorded a rant yesterday in which he referred to the show as "filth" and urged people to stop watching it.
Now Charlie Sheen has weighed in on his former co-star's antics.
"With Angus's Hale-Bopp-like meltdown, it is radically clear to me that the show is cursed," the Anger Management star tells People.
A source tells E! Online that people close to Angus are concerned about him.
"His mom is really worried and in contact with the producers of the show," the source says. "The main concern is that he is going to give away all his money to the church."
"It's like he's been brainwashed. Everyone is shocked and very concerned," continues the insider.
Another source tells E! Online that this was a complete surprise to people who work on the show.
"He gets along with everyone and has always been professional," says the second source of Angus. "This is definitely something new and the cast and crew are worried about him. It seems really out of character. He is a good guy. He really is."

Seeing that it's Cora's first year of school/daycare, we're embarking on sick day number 4 or 5 already… This time it is Hand-Foot-and-Mouth. Ick. So far, it's a pretty mild case and nothing in her mouth yet — thank goodness — so she's still eating and drinking well. We're praying it stays that way.
In the meantime, I'm looking at the silver lining. I get a day at home with my girl tomorrow! Since she doing alright, I think we're going to get to have a relatively normal day. I have a plan, (surprise, surprise).
A few things:
1. Yes, I'm serious. I'll own it. I love a schedule. (Have I mentioned I dig Babywise?)
2. I've been playing around with my new stylus and Penultimate app, as evident above.
3. I like Penultimate, but I think it's like writing the same way typing on the iPad is like typing. It is the same, but not exactly. There's definitely a learning curve.
4. I'm reading The Book Thief right now, but I'm having a hard time getting hooked. It's good, and I hear it's amazing, I think I just haven't had a decent enough pocket of time to really read it.
5. Died laughing at this from The Mindy Project tonight: "Are you insane?!" "You know I can't answer that, insane people don't know they're insane." :-P
6. Evernote is my new BFF.
7. It's time for bed.
8. I'm pretty sure my last 3 blog posts have been lists.
Good night, friends!

Review by Jeana Miller (California USA) on Apr 17, 2015 True to all Swiftwick products, these socks rock!! I've ran hundreds if not thousands of miles in them from wet to dusty and rocky conditions...they stay in place and I've NEVER had blisters! Worth every penny...what are you waiting for? Was this review helpful to you? Yes | No | Report as Abuse There are 0 Comments: Write a Comment SUSTAIN ONE - Black Review by PJS on Jun 30, 2014 For golf, these are the best. Unlike the "big" manufactured brands, these do not lose their shape after washing. They also do not stretch while wearing, causing bunching and creating friction. Their fabric allows for wicking to occur and, even in the humid Florida climate, leaves your foot drier than any other brand after playing 18 holes. And.....they last much longer than the more recognized "golf brands". Was this review helpful to you?

I forgot to bring socks, and the only socks that were being sold at the Gaylord Hotel's gift shop were these Swiftwick socks. So, I bought them. THEY ARE AMAZING! I had no idea how much I could love a pair of socks. I wear them when I exercise at my intense boot camp, and they stay in place the entire time. When I went to purchase more of these socks, I couldn't find them in my local sport stores. I looked up the company online (good thing the name is on the toe of the sock) and purchased more. I want to tell everyone I know how awesome these socks are! Was this review helpful to you? Yes | No | Report as Abuse There are 0 Comments: Write a Comment Surprisingly comfortable!

I am broadly interested in the carbon cycle and how the carbon balance of ecosystems is determined by the interplay of soil and plant processes with climate. At LBL, I will be focusing on deep soil organic carbon and what processes determine its stability and how those stabilization processes are affected by climate change.
I received both a masters degree in Soil and Water Science and a doctorate degree in Biology from the University of Florida in Gainesville, FL. For my masters, I studied whether the sediments of restored seagrass and mangrove ecosystems were actively accumulating carbon and which plant sources were contributing to their soil carbon. For my PhD, my main project was partitioning ecosystem respiration of tundra undergoing permafrost thaw into plant and soil sources. Warming in the subarctic is causing permafrost to thaw, which causes increased ecosystem respiration rates, meaning more CO2 is respired to the atmosphere where it can cause further warming. The source of that ecosystem respiration increase partly determines what the implications are for our climate. I found that both plant and respiration of old, deep soil carbon were increased with both natural permafrost thaw and experimentally-induced warming. My PhD also included measuring soil carbon accumulation rates in soils undergoing permafrost thaw and a decomposition study. The decomposition study used a common substrate to measure changes in the decomposition environment that occur with natural thaw and experimental warming and a common garden study to understand how changes in plant community composition that occur with thaw may affect the quality and quantity of carbon inputs to the soil.
In my research, I use carbon isotopes as tools. At LBL, I will be using plant litter enriched in 13C and 15N to trace the fate of organic matter in deep soils. For my masters, I used the δ13C of various plants (mangroves, seagrasses, phytoplankton, Spartina) to trace which of these plants were contributing to sediment organic carbon. For my PhD, I used the δ13C and ∆14C (radiocarbon) of respired CO2 to calculate the contributions of plant and soil respiration to total ecosystem respiration. I also used the radiocarbon values of soil organic carbon to model carbon accumulation rates.
How the carbon cycle of terrestrial soils responds to climate change.

WORCESTER, Mass. – Holy Cross senior goalie Connor Sweeney (South Salem, N.Y.) has been named the Patriot League Men's Lacrosse Goalie of the Week for his performance versus Vermont and No. 16 Lafayette. For the week he recorded a 6.87 goals against average and a .689 save percentage. This is the first time in his career that Sweeney has earned this honor.
Sweeney stopped 15 of 16 shots to set a school record with a .938 save percentage in the 11-1 victory over Vermont on April 6 at Holy Cross Field. The record was previously held by Dave O'Brien who recorded a .833 save percentage as he stopped 30 of 36 shots versus Merrimack on April 23, 1990. The one goal allowed is the least amount of goals allowed this season in any Division I men's lacrosse game and the least since Siena only gave up one goal in its 7-1 victory over Providence on May 1, 2009. The Crusaders kept the Catamounts off the scoreboard for the first 53:28 of the game. Sweeney then made a career-best 16 saves in the 13-12 overtime loss to No. 16 Lafayette at Holy Cross Field on April 10.
This season he has made 130 saves which are the second most in the Patriot League. Sweeney has 9.74 goals against average and .526 save percentage this season. He has made double-digit saves in seven games this season.
The Crusaders (3-9 overall, 1-4 Patriot League) return to action on Saturday, April 17, when they will meet Quinnipiac in non-conference action at 5:00 p.m., for Senior Day at the new Holy Cross Field.

As expected from the leaks, it has a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor with a large 4.3-inch screen. It runs the latest version of Android for mobile phones, Gingerbread (2.3.3) covered up by an updated version of HTC 's own Sense UI, the Sense 3.0.
Compare to the previous version of Sense UI, this version sees the biggest improvement since the introduction of the UI and this is mainly due to the dual-core processor.
The new Sense UI has a redesigned unlock screen. You can for example launch any of the presets 4 applications by dragging them into the lock hoop at the bottom of the screen.
The keyboard has also been improved with Swype like drawing input.
On the hardware side , the 8-megapixel rear-facing camera with dual LED flash can shoot up to 1080p video that can be played back on the qHD screen which has a resolution of 540 x 960. Screen has a ratio of 16:9 meaning no more black bars above and below when you play movies.

The mating dance of the 'technosexual'

To many, those are yawn-inducing tech terms. But to people like Eric Jordan, they're sexy talk. Jordan, 34, is the kind of guy who will take apart a new $300 cell phone so he can upgrade its software, or wire his vintage car with an old laptop. As a kid, in fact, Jordan liked to wire his Lego village with LED lights.
Jordan has found that when it comes to women he dates, they must be computer geeks. His last girlfriend hated the homemade digital video recorder, and it was just those kinds of differences that split them up. "The Internet-wired, remote-controlled coffee maker and lights did not go over well," said Jordan, who lives on Long Island, New York.
Now, he says he dates only "nerdly" women, having recently joined a science fiction dating site called Trek Passions "Anyone I date would have to be as into tech," Jordan said, adding, "Nerdiness is just sexy."
Sure, people bond over any number of things: politics, environmentalism, outdoor sports, food. But a decade-long boom in technology and gadgets has opened the closet door for many tech lovers, or "technosexuals," if you will. With the many special-interest sites on the Web, sparks can fly between two techies who wouldn't have otherwise found each other.
In the last year, specialized dating sites like Trekpassions.com (for sci-fi fans who want to hook up), Nerd Passions and Gaming Passions have emerged, and more offbeat sites like Consumating (which is owned by CNET Networks, publisher of News.com) give people an avenue to find someone who shares a taste for tech. Hard-core techies even joke that the boisterous tech site Slashdot should run personal ads, but its founder, Rob Malda, said he has no interest in that--even though Malda proposed to his wife on the site.
On Consumating.com, where people "tag" their profiles with various descriptive words to describe their interests, visitors can find more than 1,600 people with the tag "computers." (Granted, they're mostly men.) More than 500 are tagged "tech" or "technology," and more than 1,200 are self-described "geeks."
At general dating sites like Match.com, it's even possible to find a technosexual or two. One 26-year-old man said on his profile that he's looking for a woman who shares interests like playing video games and toying with new gadgets.
"If you can talk geek, thats (sic) a plus!," he wrote.
Still, the joke is that it's 100 techie guys to every one woman, given that the technology field is so dominated by men. Earlier this year, Conan O'Brien even poked fun at the dating site Trek Passions on his late night show on NBC. "Any month now they hope a girl will join," O'Brien said.

This is not an issue of finding a woman who's into tech, it's an issue of trying to find somebody who will take a back seat to your other intrests.

The reverse is true as well. Just like most decent women don't give guys under 5'10" a second look even if they drive a Ferrari, I won't give a fat chick a second look even if shes got a private jet.

- Online dating is a good starting point
- But, a lot of profiles contain lies. It's for pretty much the same reasons people lie in real-life --- so people can look better than they are.
Also, even in totally honest profiles, a lot of important terms are totally subjective---what I believe is "playful" may be "stupid", "insane" or "boring" to another person.
As if that weren't enough, people unconsciously setup expectations of the person they're going to meet---and 99% of the time, those expectations are very inaccurate (even with honest profiles) because they're based on that person's wants, fears and past experiences.
Esentially, I feel online dating is a great starting point, but it's good to reach a point where you talk on the phone or meet in real life at a neutral location.

Sneak Preview of September's 21-Day Vegan Kickstart Website
More than 65,000 people have participated in PCRM's 21-Day Vegan Kickstart. And more than 10,000 have signed up to experience the benefits of a vegan diet during the Kickstart that begins Sept. 6. If you want to feel better than ever, the online Kickstart program provides all the support you need to increase energy, lose weight, prevent and reverse diabetes and heart disease, and reduce cancer risk.
Here are just two of the amazing success stories that March Kickstart participants posted on the Kickstart Community Forum:
"Thank you 21 day Kickstart. I got my bloodwork results today and they are the best of my life and I've tried to lower my cholesterol for almost 40 years. My cholesterol was 510 when I was in early 20s. Well, today at 62 my results are 210, down 60 from last test in Dec 09."
Ode to 21-Day Kickstart
Health was becoming an issue as my body began to decline
Heart disease, high cholesterol and Lupus were becoming good friends of mine
Endless doctor's appointments, tests, bloodwork and more
Seemed to be the only thing I would leave my house for
One day while searching the web for a solution
I came across a healthy resolution
PCRM, Susan, Jill and Dr. Neal Barnard
Presented a program they said wouldn't be hard
A 21-Day Kickstart to a new way of health
They'd provide all I'd need to take care of myself
Webcasts, meal plans, support forums and celebrities too
Didn't take me long to decide what I needed to do
A vegan eating plan without dairy or meat
Soon got me going and back on my feet
Finally feeling some energy, how long had it been
Discovered it's never too late to "vegan again"
Thank you so much to "all" involved in the Kickstart Program.
There are not enough words to express how grateful I am to you.
September's Kickstart highlights include new celebrity recipes; inspirational phone messages from celebrities; a conference call forum with vegan pediatrician to the stars Jay Gordon, M.D., and PCRM member pediatrician Leslie Brown, M.D.; and an online community forum to connect with others, get support, and have your nutrition questions answered by PCRM experts.

Four studios rebrand the USA as part of SFMOMA project on the country's future
So unless you really haven't been keeping up-to-date with the news these past few weeks, then you'll know that tomorrow Barack Obama and Mitt Romney will battle it out for the biggest job in the world. As ever these elections present an opportunity for a little bit of national soul-searching and a conversation about where the country could and should be heading over the coming years.
As part of this discourse, Eric Heiman principle of Volume Inc has commissioned four design teams to re-brand the USA as part of a project supported by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. The starting points that while other countries have undergone rebrands in a very traditional way, America's sense of self remains rooted in the past.
"The American identity as a whole remains stubbornly retrograde," Eric said. "Old Glory, the Founding Fathers, O Say Can You See, hot dogs, apple pie, fireworks—the symbols and stories we use to celebrate (or, in the case of the equally retro-named Tea Party, protest) the U.S. have rarely evolved since its inception 236 years ago."
So enter four very different ideas for a new brand USA. San Fran's Mende Design has imagined a Republican-led PR blitz whereby famous national sites like The Washington Monument and Mount Rushmore are tweaked to reflect how values like peace and tolerance fit into the national psyche, while New York's Playlab, Inc have made a video actually outlining why the USA doesn't need to change.
Brooklyn's MGMT have produced a series of interesting alternative flags which are infographics based on facts and figures of modern America – everything from religion to the number of chickens per capita – and British designer Lucienne Roberts is a colourful, animated celebration of difference and inclusivity.
You can read loads more about each project on the SFMOMA blog and it's sure to generate a great deal of discussion, but as four very different starting points they're a really worthwhile contribution to the debate.

Nonstress Testing
What is a nonstress test?
A nonstress test (NST) measures the fetal heart rate in response to the fetus' movements. Generally, the heart rate of a healthy fetus increases when the fetus moves. The NST is usually performed in the last trimester of pregnancy.
How is a nonstress test performed?
The actual procedure for a NST may vary, but, generally, the procedure is as follows:
- The test is often performed in a special prenatal testing area of the hospital, or in your physician's office.
- The mother lies down and has a belt placed around her abdomen with a transducer positioned over the fetal heartbeat, called an external fetal heart rate monitor.
- The fetal heart rate is recorded on the monitor and on a paper printout.
- The mother pushes a button on the monitor each time she feels fetal movement. This places a mark on the paper printout.
- Testing usually lasts for 20 to 40 minutes.
Sometimes, the testing occurs during a fetal sleep cycle, when there is little fetal movement. A special acoustic (sound) device is sometimes used to awaken the fetus. It is placed against the mother's abdomen and makes a noise like a buzzer. This is not harmful to the fetus but may help a sleepy fetus become more active. Having the mother eat or drink may also awaken the fetus.
Test results of the NST:
Test results of the NST may be:
- reactive (normal) - two or more fetal heart rate increases in the testing period (usually 20 minutes).
- nonreactive - there is no change in the fetal heart rate when the fetus moves. This may indicate a problem that requires further testing.
A nonreactive NST does not always mean there is a problem with the fetus. The fetus may simply be asleep. Or, it may be nonreactive because of fetal immaturity. It is common for preterm fetuses, especially those before 28 weeks, to have nonreactive nonstress tests. Additional prenatal testing may be necessary.

The pigmentation is excellent and the color gives me full coverage.
Is this the right orange for you? Would you wear it?

Pretoria — As part of the implementation of the Gauteng Health Department's Turnaround Strategy, which aims to improve healthcare in the province, the department has to date paid all small, medium and micro-sized enterprises (SMMEs).
The department has announced that an amount of R7.7 million relating to the prior year's invoices were audited as per the prepayment audit process and released last week to reflect in the suppliers' bank accounts on Monday.
The amount includes payments to SMMEs.
The department said it had developed a prepayment audit process to verify all invoices submitted by supplies.
"Invoices that are verified as payable will be paid on a weekly basis with the approval of the Chief Financial Officer. An amount of R24 million is currently undergoing a prepayment audit," the department said.
In a bid to strengthen the delivery of health service in the province, the department has also filled 2 259 critical funded vacant posts between April and November 2012.
These appointments include 752 nurses, 595 clinical professionals such as doctors and specialists, 528 allied professionals such as physiotherapists, 41 allied support, 71 managers, 397 administration and 144 support staff.
Health MEC, Hope Papo, noted that the process of filling posts was negatively affected by the scarcity of skills in the country.
"To ensure better health for all, the department will continue with initiatives such as paying suppliers timeously, beefing up staff in health facilities and ensuring the availability of medicine in all public health facilities in the province," said Papo.

Chris Tifft
Tifft Added to Men's Basketball Staff
Former junior college head coach and one-time Johnson assistant at Nevada
TCU vs. Oklahoma State
The following are photos of TCU vs. Oklahoma State Saturday afternoon.
Chris Tifft was promoted to assistant coach on June 16, 2014 following two seasons as director of operations for TCU after arriving in June 2012.
Tifft joined the Horned Frogs from the junior college ranks, where he served eight seasons as a head coach at New Mexico Junior College and Lamar (Colo.) Community College. He owns strong ties to Johnson, having served as an assistant coach on Trent Johnson's Nevada staff during his first two seasons in Reno from 1999 through 2001.
Tifft aided in TCU's transition to the Big 12 Conference in his first year on campus in 2012-13, a season that saw the program record four wins over teams that advanced to postseason play. Included among the victories was the school's first-ever against a top-5 opponent, a 62-55 decision against No. 5 Kansas on Feb. 6.
Along with TCU's move to the Big 12 came an added importance of being able to sway top national recruits, a task Johnson's staff has embraced in its short time in Fort Worth. Tifft helped the Frogs land one of the top signing classes in school history featuring four nationally rated commits in prep products Brandon Parrish, Hudson Price, Karviar Shepherd and Michael Williams. The class, ranked 34th-best in the nation by ESPN, included one signee listed among the nation's top-50 players (Shepherd) and another among the top-150 (Parrish).
Tifft compiled a 158-94 overall in his eight seasons as a junior college head coach. Among his career honors was being named 2009 NJCAA District IX Coach of the Year at Lamar. He helped numerous players earn NCAA Division I scholarships, including four in his final season at NMJC in Dequan Hicks (Northwestern State), Alex Phillips (Nebraska-Omaha), Marvin Binney (Duquesne) and Ryan Okwudibonye (Sacramento State).
Tifft arrived at TCU from NMJC, where he led the Thurderbirds to a 58-32 record and improvements in each of his three seasons. The T-Birds tied for second place in the Western Junior College Athletic Conference in 2011-12 with a 23-9 record while reaching the semifinal round of the NJCAA Region V tournament. The conference finish was the program's best in nearly a decade. Tifft's first two NMJC squads posted respective records of 16-14 and 19-9 despite featuring a roster that included 15 new players in his inaugural campaign.
Prior to his time at NMJC, Tifft led Lamar to a 100-62 record in five seasons. During his tenure, the Runnin' Lopes posted three consecutive 20-win seasons for the first time since 1969, while he was named 2009 district coach of the year after leading the program to its first ever regional championship and NJCAA tournament appearance. Lamar concluded the 2009 NJCAA tourney with a 3-1 record and fifth-place national ranking while finishing the season with a 28-10 overall mark.
Tifft received his first head coaching opportunity at Lamar after spending three seasons as an assistant coach at Dodge City Community College (2001-04). He transitioned to junior college following five seasons at Nevada, where he served on the staffs of both Pat Foster and Johnson.
Tifft began his collegiate playing career at Columbia University before transferring to Three Rivers (Mo.) Community College. While at Three Rivers, he had the opportunity to play for the most successful coach in the history of junior college basketball, Gene Bess. He completed his career at Nevada, playing two seasons (1994-96).
Tifft received his bachelor's degree in geography from Nevada in 1996, while he also earned his master's in secondary education in 1999. He and his wife, Heather, have one daughter, Kamryn.

Holly Woodlawn in East of the Tar Pits

Holly Woodlawn has finished filming her new movie, East of the Tar Pits, which follows the trials and tribulations of a displaced New York housewife and her lifelong desire to visit Barbra Streisand's ranch in Malibu.

Gary LeGault, the director of the film, explains how the project came about:"I've known Holly for twenty-eight years, after video-taping her appearance at at a nightclub called S.N.A.F.U. in New York City during 1978. I never really expected for us to be working on a film together but a few years ago we were reunited in California and I thought that I would write a screenplay just for her. Happily, she has given our little movie her complete attention. Her performance in the film is quite dynamic and I think that people will like what they see. The other actors are also very good. Holly's leading man, Frank Messina, played a regular character on the daytime soap opera, Santa Barbara, during the 1990's and her co-star, Robert Sherman, was one of the subjects in some of Robert Mapplethorpe's photographs."

Current Standard, New Standard
Item ID: 240290
Format:electronic copy (download)physical copy (to be shipped)
Scope: This standard describes atmospheric effects for consideration when designing ultimate heat sinks for safety-related systems at nuclear power units. Required analyses are provided for a meteorological assessment of the ultimate heat sink to ensure that design temperatures and cooling capacity requirements for the facility are met. The standard is intended to apply to new nuclear units or the redesign of the cooling systems at existing nuclear units. The discussion primarily applies to cooling lakes, spray ponds, rivers, mechanical draft cooling towers, and natural draft cooling towers, which are the heat dissipation systems most commonly used for nuclear power plants. However, the same principles apply to seawater cooling and spray ponds. This standard does not apply to designs that do not rely on external water sources as the ultimate heat sink or to nonmeteorological elements of ultimate heat sink design.

Tuck Students Attend United Nations Climate Change Conference
Dec 15, 2009 | 0 comments
A contingent of students, faculty and staff from the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth is currently in Copenhagen participating as accredited observers at the United Nations Climate Change Conference. The Tuck team – the only official business school representatives at the conference – will attend sessions, meet with international business groups and NGOs and publish a blog chronicling summit proceedings as they impact global business.
The conference, dubbed COP15, has set as its goal to attain a global agreement to address climate change. Such an agreement would enable business leaders to factor climate change into their business plans in ways that reduce risk for their organizations, employees and the planet as a whole.
The Tuck team hopes to learn the perspectives of other conference attendees and relay them to the Tuck community. Sponsored by Tuck's Allwin Initiative for Corporate Citizenship, the team consists of eight second-year students selected from a larger group of those who expressed interest. Professor Anant Sudaram, who serves as team leader, and Allwin Initiative director Pat Palmiotto have traveled to Copenhagen with the students.
"We are entering an era in which the careers of MBAs graduating today will evolve in a world in which there is a price on carbon, the implications of which are wide-ranging," Sundaram said in a statement. His recent research focuses on a new metric for scoring companies on their stock market exposure to fossil fuel use and resulting green house gas emissions.
Sundaram also created and teaches a class on business and climate change at Tuck, where interest is high. "As students of business it is important that we are not only aware of how climate change is going to affect businesses but also to understand the implications on the way in which business will be conducted in the future," Manoj Sahoo, a second-year Tuck student, said in a statement.
"Being at Copenhagen is a once in a lifetime opportunity to be part of what might be one of the game-changing events of the century," Sahoo continued. To offset the carbon footprint associated with the trip, the team plans to plant trees on campus next spring.

While the village cheerfully prepares for Tsunade's inauguration as Fifth Hokage, Rock Lee must ponder the possibility that he will never fulfill his ninja dreams.

Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura are on the ultimate mission: discover what Kakashi looks like behind his mask! Then, Tsunade sends Squad Seven to the Land of Tea and the village of Degarashi, where every four years two rival families hold a race to decide who will rule the village for the next four years. Jirocho, who represents the Wasabi family, asks the teammates to protect their runner, Idate.

But the battle leads them all to the sacred and mysterious Mount Hakurei, where a barrier not only renders demons, including Inuyasha, powerless, but also hides a terrible secret about their worst enemy–Naraku! The Deluxe Box Set includes 5 DVDs and also features a special "Sesshomaru Wall Scroll" and bonus Inuyasha footage.
RANMA SEASON 7: RANMA FOREVER. Five DVDs. Available now.
It's not easy being teenage martial artist Ranma Saotome, but it's even worse when your martial-artist father Genma takes you from home at an early age to go on a decade-long training mission. He doesn't speak a word of Chinese, and yet he insists upon bringing you to the cursed training ground known as Jusenkyo, where falling into one of the many springs there instantly turns you into whoever – or whatever – drowned there last. And then, the two of you have this little accident…
From now on, a splash of cold water will turn your father into a giant panda, while you… well, you turn into a red-haired (and problematically well-built) female version of yourself. Hot water will reverse the effect, but only until the next time. What's a half-guy, half-girl to do?"

Short spin to John Wayne's Quiet Man country
I did this spin a while back on a rare sunny day here.
It was my first spin out on my new (to me) bike.
I was like a child with his first lollipop or a boy after getting his first kiss from a girl, it was exciting, it was fun and it was intoxicating.
I didn't stop having left Donegal until getting to cong, county mayo, where The Quiet Man was filmed a lifetime ago.
Cong is very pretty place, and tourists do flock there in summertime.
There are old ruins here also, boring history stuff.
I ate plenty in the café next to the shop in the first picture then headed out of dodge. Next stop was to see Lough Corrib, lake of 365 islands !
You can see some of them in the background below.
gotta run, it's too dark to type right now and it's past my bedtime, ha ha ha

....So I continued round the roads of the lakes of Mayo and Galway, some barren places for sure, hard to figure how so many people lived off the land
for hundreds of years before the famine came.
The west of Ireland was heavily populated and you often see abandoned villages almost completely overgrown.
There are signs to everywhere and nobody much at the end of the road, it's weird !
some signs...
this area is borderline 'gaeltacht' - meaning irish language is spoken here, only pockets of such places exist round the country now
enough maudlin chat, there are some nice views...
great spots for fishing..
Even empty barrels of Guinness have their uses !
I met so few cars, motorbikes or even bicycles on these roads.
I headed north through the wilds of Mayo and towards the big town of Ballina.
Good roads and dry but for the showers.
Too soon Ballina was coming into view.
In town I got stuck in a traffic jam which lasted about 14 seconds as a tractor was reversing out into the street.
A rare beauty !
I'm not into fishing but by all accounts this river is a mecca. It's the river Moy which flows up through Ballina and great for salmon !
A church for the holy.
A church and bike.
Another pint and onwards !
Next stop was to be Yeat's country, Sligo.
I zipped along towards the big town of Sligo, some great twists and some crappy straight bits and on the bypass.
The bypass (roads which go around towns here to speed up traffic flow) actually goes through the town with loads of traffic lights !
As some would say - go figure !
Got through the town and wanted to stop in Drumcliffe where Mr Yeats, the poet, is buried. I think he was originally buried somewhere else (Paris ?)
and didn't like it so much there so he was moved here, a place he loved as a kid.
This is the church, where I think his uncle or relative used to preach, and he is buried next to it.
This is his grave and his epitaph is cool, I think he was on a bit of a downer when he conjured these lines up, it had something to do with a woman
(doesn't it always) and unrequited love. At least that is what we were taught.
I think he was an amazing writer and if you ever read 'The Stolen Child' it may move you.
Better still listen to it incorporated into a song by The Waterboys, on their album 'Fishermans Blues' they kept the name 'The Stolen Child'.
They used a local man to speak the verse through their music and it is genius.
It is about death, faeries, loss - it would draw a tear from a stone.

This is a pic of Ben Bulben in the distance. It is a flat table top hill/mountain that kind of dominates the surrounding area.
I was watching a thing on tv the other night about how in the whole world there are only 20 of a particular plant which grow in the crevices near the top.
They are some kind of leftover alpine flowering plant which have distant relatives in Iceland !
This guy went over the side on ropes on a bloody awful wet windy day to check the numbers and he near wet himself cos he found 5 more, so now there
are 25. Amazing if you think about it. It was amazing they found them in the first place cos you would have to be up there hanging from ropes looking around
and on top of that be smart enough to know what the hell you were looking at. So hats off to you boys !
Another hill viewed from Drumcliffe.
And another, I must have had mountains on the brain by then. It was time for a drink !
This was some poetry that got out of hand !
And finally, my trusty steed.

That "new replies to your posts" thing doesn't even mean what it says. It happens with every new post on a thread that you have posted on, regardless of whether that new post is a reply to one of yours.
I only have a filter for people who do not consistently beg to be belittled, ridiculed, insulted, and demeaned.
I may believe people, as a whole, should be treated fairly but I also believe those same people are idiots.

No Charge? No Thanks! – Why It Can Be Hard To Give Stuff Away
We all like a 'freebie' and something for nothing can sometimes be very appealing but it's not always straightforward to give things away as my recent experiment on this blog has proved.
The purpose of starting a new Business Guides series was to highlight a variety of business publications, e books, whitepapers and magazines, which are available to download free. There have been plenty of visitors to the posts but the take up of the offers has been less than overwhelming (ie – almost non existent!) and this has led me to give some thought as to why this has been the case.
I think there are a few reasons why giving stuff away can be harder than you would imagine, here's my thoughts and lessons learned – what do you think?
Offers not targeted to the right market
A more general blog like this one, as opposed to one operating in a particular niche, has readers from many areas with a wide variety of interests. Although I generally view this as a good thing, in the case of the offer it has been a disadvantage as the majority of visitors aren't from the active B2B community.
I have tried to overcome this by connecting and engaging with members of that community but without the authority and reputation of those who are already operating in that area the offer can look a bit lightweight.
Lesson – An offer to visitors to your blog, whether free or paid must be well targeted to your audience or it's doomed to failure. Build a reputation and trust with a community before going further.
The information offered might be of little value
This is something that I've thought about at length both before and after posting the articles in this category. It's stating the obvious that if the download doesn't appear to be of any value people won't want it but my own view is that the offers do have value – but only to the right people. Maybe I'm wrong on that one or maybe the format I am using doesn't clearly highlight the benefits.
Lesson – Make sure what you are offering is of value and will appeal to readers. Stress the benefits of the content.
Too much registration information required
Some details need to be entered, as shown below, before a download can be made and many people might find that this is more information about themselves than they would want to disclose.
But this again comes down to the first point in that I feel that people might be more willing to enter their business details rather than their personal contact details. Perhaps more explanation as to who the publication is aimed at and the pre-download details required in the post would have been helpful to try to reduce this barrier.
Lesson – Be clear about who it's for and the steps required to download the offer.
What's the catch?
We are all (or should be) naturally suspicious of anything that looks to good to be true. We all know at heart that 'there's no such thing as a free lunch' and in the case of my free offer, which is fully disclosed as an affiliate offer, the 'catch' might be considered to be that you are asked to enter some details about your business which may well result in a further marketing approach in the future.
Full disclosure is vital and I would never try to hide anything so, as with the first two points it's all about targeting the right people. The business person who would value access to the information on offer would be much more likely to see the benefits and to be aware of any pitfalls and download with their eyes open.
Lesson – Be open about what's required, explain any potential consequences and any opt outs, above all disclose and be transparent.
Not enough personal input
I have thought that the posts themselves may be too impersonal, that is that there is very little input and personality from me. I like to think that many people return to the blog as they like the way that I write and I need to put more of that into each post.
The downside to that is that I don't necessarily have any expertise in the business area being offered and it's very important to me to be seen as honest and trustworthy and not just copying and pasting other peoples material. Maybe the author of the paper could be invited to inject their own personality.
Lesson – Offer a subject I know well so I can inject my own personality or have some input from the author.
The main lesson seems to me to build a reputation with your target audience before you try to promote any product, free or paid. If that part isn't right then the rest won't work however many of the other lessons you apply.
Have you tried to offer free stuff to your readers and if so what success have you had and have there been any lessons you have learned that you would like to share? I would love to hear your thoughts so please leave a comment below.
Many thanks for visiting today, I hope to see you again soon. If you have enjoyed this post I hope you will share it using the buttons below and if you would like to see more like this you can subscribe and connect by way of the options in the sidebar.

BRITAIN's aerospace industry will go the same way as shipbuilding unless the government reverses the "massive" reductions in support for research and development over the past decade, warns a panel of prominent industrialists and academics
Britain's aerospace industry must receive the same level of support for R&D as its rivals in Germany and France, the panel argues in a strongly worded report released last week. The report was prepared as part of the government's Technology Foresight Programme, which aims to identify the technologies and markets critical to industry's survival. Aerospace was one of 15 areas examined by panels of specialists over the past 18 months.
The aerospace report warns that the industry's share of the world market could fall by half to 4.9 per cent over the next 15 years unless flagging investment in R&D is revived. "There was widespread concern among experts we consulted that Britain's ...

Swiss Organizations Denounce S. Korean Military's Provocation against DPRK
| Pyongyang, April 2 (KCNA) -- The Switzerland-Korea Committee and the Swiss Group for the Study of the Juche Idea made public a joint statement on March 26 in denunciation of the south Korean military's anti-DPRK provocation.
Referring to the fact that the south Korean military fired guns in the area of five islands in the West Sea of Korea and scattered leaflets slandering the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK and its social system, the statement went on:
Such reckless acts of the pro-U.S. south Korean puppet military are driving the inter-Korean relations to an irreversible catastrophe.
It is an unpardonable and treacherous act to slander the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK and its social system.
The criminal acts of the south Korean military are leading the inter-Korean relations to a catastrophe and laying obstacles to ensuring peace on the Korean peninsula.
The south Korean chief executive let loose such hypocritical words as "confidence" and "unification" in the international arena, but they are nothing but ridiculous propaganda.
"Unification" touted by her means "unification" under the reactionary and unpopular system of south Korea.
The service personnel and people of the DPRK will resolutely and mercilessly deal a sledge-hammer blow at such provocation.
