How New England Can Save the World, Part III in a series
Part I: The Maine Way: Aroostook County
Part II: Vermont Neighbors
Part IIII: A Bang for Your Buck in the Berkshires
When you think of Vermont–white church on the tidy green–you're not actually thinking of Hardwick, which in its days as the "Building Granite Center of the World" used to boast a dirty-movie theater and a lot of bars. And those were the good times. In November 2005 an enormous fire wrecked the historic Bemis Block in the middle of town. (It has since been reconstructed.)
Likewise, when you think of "compost," you may imagine a healthy-looking gardener spreading the loamy remains of his erstwhile vegetable soup on the raised beds where he'll grow next year's carrots. That's not Tom Gilbert.
He's healthy-looking enough, but he's standing in a dusty parking lot high on West Hill Road, overlooking town. "You're surrounded now by three decomposing carcasses," he says, pointing proudly to a trio of brown mounds. Tom Gilbert runs the Highfields Center for Composting, which introduced "livestock mortality composting" to Vermont. On a dairy farm, 5 percent of the herd is likely to die each year, so knowing what to do with the remains is important.
"You don't want to just haul it out to the field," Gilbert explains. "That's a lot of blood and bone that will go to waste," when it could be improving the soil. So here's one recipe: an 18-inch base of woodchips, a 6-inch layer of sawdust, a thin layer of fresh corn silage (or haylage, or horse manure), the animal, and then a cap of silage–24 inches of material on all sides of the carcass. Done correctly, with proper siting (away from surface and ground water) and air flow, the process inactivates pathogens and produces a rich compost.
"There's a full-grown Holstein in there–I put him in two weeks ago," says Gilbert, who sticks a 2-foot-long thermometer into the pile. "One hundred forty-five degrees. If you go in with a shovel, you'll find nice clean bone. We'll leave it a while, and the skull and the pelvis will still be there, but now they'll be brittle enough that you're not going to pop a tire if you drive the tractor over it."
Gilbert composts more than cows; in fact, he's pioneered a rural composting system that gathers up much of the food waste from the surrounding area, including schools, farms, and restaurants. The collection truck drives a 76-mile route; some of the stops are 15 miles apart, which reduces the economies of scale. Even so, once the workers have the garbage up on the piles, where they can roll it with a backhoe every few days, it doesn't take long before it turns into fertilizer. "If you assume that every cubic yard of compost offsets an equivalent amount of synthetic nitrogen (chemical fertilizer), and accounting for mitigated landfill emissions," Gilbert calculates, "our little operation here is offsetting greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to not burning some 26,000 gallons of gasoline a year."
If you want to change the world, or even a corner of it, compost helps a lot. If Vermont as a whole recycled all of its food waste, it could compost 20,000 acres of vegetable fields. Together with good cover crop practices, that could be enough to grow most of the produce its citizens consume. And Vermont is a little place. Imagine New York City composting; it's comparatively easy to collect food waste when there are more households in Manhattan alone than individuals in all of Vermont. The resulting fertilizer would be enough to make New Jersey the Garden State once more. "Soil is the frontier of where we need to be going," Gilbert declares.
But forget New York–Hardwick is interesting enough on its own. And compost is just, literally, the beginning. Almost everything here is conspiring to produce a produce renaissance, a (soy) milky way toward the future. In fact, it may be the single most interesting agricultural experiment on the continent. In a lovely new book, The Town That Food Saved, journalist Ben Hewitt declares that its residents "are more able to sustain themselves on food grown by their neighbors than perhaps any other community in the U.S." To understand why, follow the local food chain.
Some of Tom Gilbert's compost gets trucked about a mile down the road to Wolcott, to the gardens where High Mowing Organic Seeds grows its product. High Mowing is one of the country's biggest organic seed companies, which means it isn't all that big–a couple of million dollars a year in revenue. But it sure is beautiful.

Scottsdale's Green Building Program, established in 1998, was the first such program in Arizona with an emphasis on residential home construction. It was developed to encourage environmentally responsible building in the Sonoran Desert region by incorporating healthy, resource- and energy-efficient materials and methods in the design and construction of homes. The program's goals are to reduce the environmental impact of building; achieve both short and long-term savings of energy, water and other natural resources; and encourage a healthier indoor environment.
Incentives include expedited plan review, green building inspections,lectures, workshops, homeowner's manual, recogniion on the city web site, and free promotional green building materials including a job site sign. Green building projects are reviewed and inspected as part of the city development regulatory process. As such, a green building permit is issued for construction, a green inspection card is used by the city building inspectors during construction and a green "certificate of occupancy" is issued upon completion of the project.
The [http://www.scottsdaleaz.gov/AssetFactory.aspx?did=7372 Green Home Rating Checklist] contains the point system used to qualify projects as green homes. Projects must meet all mandatory measures (adjusting the rating for house size) and then can qualify at entry level (50-99 points) or at the advanced level (100+ points) using the rating checklist.

we've now learned that that the system's 500GB hard drive can be removed and upgraded. Sony Worldwide Studio Head, Shuhei Yoshida, confirmed the news via Twitter early this morning. The move gives the PS4 yet another advantage over the Xbox One, which makes the hard drive inaccessible to consumers.
May be old news to some but doing a search via the forums shows no topics about this and it is great news to the PS community who want the ability to upgrade their PS4s.

Mars Base Command Module Summary PDF ready
The first module summary PDF for "Mission Base Alpha: Plan B" is now available. Just visit www.marsbasecommand.com. Click on the Join button if you're unfamiliar with this project or click on the Alpha tab to grab the file. (It's zipped and almost 8Mb.)
I've already received emails from around the US (and maybe one or two overseas) about this project being used in some summer/robot camps. I don't know if the second module will be done by July/August but I'll certainly try - no promises. If you are a teacher or camp leader and need more help or have specific questions, please don't hesitate to email me.

I just finished reading the pdf. I need clarification on how many NXT retail kits are needed for Mars Base Alpha. It says no more than 2 kits, but can it be done easily with 1 kit? I'm assuming not since you can receive special commendation for a 1-kit model that successfully completes a mission.

The rules for this particular module will allow for one or 2 NXT kits for building a robot.
Participants who wish to add their content to the Roster will have a chance to submit photos and document their robot - if they can make it with 1 robot kit only, they'll get a c ommendation.
Personally, I think the missions CAN be done with a single robot kit (Ed or Retail). (I was able to use a single Retail kit and all its parts to build 1 robot to complete all 3 missions).

Center for Entrepreneurship's Institute for Private Business SeminarsEvent Details: 7:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m., June 23, John and Lucy Cook Hall, 3674 Lindell Blvd, St. Louis, MO, 63108
|Stephen Ciesinski presents "Innovation: It's not Rocket Science." Photo by Mike Meehan
The Spring Seminar Series for the Saint Louis University for Entrepreneurship's Institute for Private Business (IPB) kicked off last week with "Innovation: It's not Rocket Science." Stephen Ciesinski of SRI International delivered a presentation and workshop.
"We were thrilled to have Stephen Ciesinski present SRI's unique process for innovation," said Jennifer Ehlen, interim director of the Center of Entrepreneurship. "It was both motivating and inspiring to our audience of business owners."
Ciesinski, vice president of corporate strategic programs with SRI International, spoke to a crowd of business owners at the John Cook School of Business about SRI's "Five
Disciplines of Innovation." This is a dynamic approach to applying innovation to business that includes identifying a need, determining value, recruiting champions and organizational alignment.
SRI International, a Silicon Valley-based company, is one of the world's leading independent research and technology development organizations.
The Institute of Private Business is being developed to assist the growth and vitality of family and other closely held businesses through training, networking and academic research. Through IPB, member companies will have access annually to interactive seminars, educational forums, peer groups, newsletters, research studies and other Saint Louis University resources.
On Thursday, June 23, Michael Lebowitz, founder and CEO of Big Spaceship, will come to the University for the final installment of the IPB Spring Seminar Series. Lebowitz will speak about "Innovation From Within: Empowering a Culture of Creativity," beginning at 7:30 a.m. in John and Lucy Cook Hall. Big Spaceship is a digital creative agency in Brooklyn, N.Y., whose innovative culture has been profiled by the New York Times and Harvard Business Review.
The IPB Seminar Series is open to the general business community and all events are $45 in advance and $55 at the door. A limited number of complimentary reservations are available to SLU faculty, staff and students. To RSVP, visit ecenter.slu.edu. For information or to join the IPB program as a partner or member, contact Jeanne Rhodes at email@example.com or (314) 977-3850.

Rated 4.3 out of 5Â by 39 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by lelsf Sexy for petites. As other reviews say, it is quite curve-hugging, but in a good way. The material is nice and thick and not too stretchy, so while it shows all your curves, it also holds you in instead of letting everything hang out (unlike other bodycon dresses that have TOO much give). I'm 5'1, 115, athletic build, so due to petiteness, it's important to me that dresses are form-fitting to prevent me from looking stumpy. Also key to its success (with petites)- it has a defined waist. Seems like it will be versatile with layering - especially since it is tight and won't bulk up other top layers. Very happy with purchase. 9.8.2011
Rated 3 out of 5Â by meghan913 kind of weird I don't really know how to describe the way this dress fit me, but I was pretty disappointed. I had wanted this dress for forever and finally I got it and when it came...it was just weird. Maybe because the material's so stiff, not as soft and flexible as the cage back bodycon or others like that, so it didn't hug my curves, it just sharply outlines them. I LOVE FP bodycons but this dress almost seemed to emphasize my curvy stomach, and the top half was too big, though I'm a 34B so maybe that's just because of my proportions. The straps were an ok length, but the bodice of this dress just didn't sit right. I got a medium, the size I always get, and it looked really great off, so maybe this dress is just meant for people with the right shape? aka not pear-shaped. For reference, I'm 5'7", 34B, 28" waist, 39" hips. I had to return it, it just wasn't flattering for the price. super bummed. 3.16.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by ThePlantess Really Flattering!! I looked at this for a couple of months and decided that I really wanted for the summer. I bought this dress in the grey and it is super flattering. I am pretty petite so the shortness of this dress is just about right for me! I love the wash and it's a low enough cut without being inappropriate. Classic! 12.30.2011
Rated 5 out of 5Â by parlezdudiable great little pink dress I'm 5'4", 118 libs, so I went for the XS. I was worried that my small bust (sans brassiere) wouldn't fit in the cups, but the fit was perfect. The material is not really denim, but more of a sturdy cotton, which means the slip hugs without suffocating and is forgiving of any problem areas. I wanted something slightly girly to mix in with my neutral wardrobe, and this is not too pink, which is great--I feel like it's a good cross-seasonal color. The slip is simple, feminine, and slightly edgy, a perfect canvas on which to accessorize and carry from day to night. 8.9.2011
Rated 3 out of 5Â by p1gp3n if you have the body, go for it this corset type of bodycon dresses fit a very specific shape, and if you have the body, these would be great. the material is very soft and stretchy, and is sturdy and not see though. the washed blush color makes you look a bit washed out though. for a particular size, you also need the right size boobs to fill the corset out or there'd be loose material. 7.11.2011
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Laury HOT lil dress ;) Whooo, girllll, this dress makes your body look curvier! I'm 36C, 117 pounds, and 5 ft. I got this dress in S and the dress is hottt! it's true size, the material is a bit stretchy, and it's not made of denim. And it's not cotton either. The thing is, it does not feel cheap, the material is nice and definitely comfortable! 5 stars!!! 6.13.2011
Rated 5 out of 5Â by alytaylor Definitely Not Denim BUT.... Alright. I just received this in the mail and absolutely love it. I'm a 32C, 5'5, and 120 pounds and the small fits perfectly. This isn't made of denim, (i should've know the second i looked at the price) but it looks exactly as pictured and is 10X more comfortable than i expected. 5 stars. 6.10.2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by Charito Very comfortable! It´s so soft and comfortable! You can wear it to club, to an afternoon at the beach, to drink something with friends... only, with a cardigan, with a shirt, with a vest... I´m thin but tall and the M one it´s a bit loose, but it´s ok beacause is sexy but no too many. 1.23.2013

Dunn Chevrolet - The Lost Dealership of Roanoke
Until it closed in 2007, no one had any idea the treasure trove of NOS parts and GM nostalgia that was stored inside the walls of Dunn Chevrolet

Dunn Chevrolet - The Lost Dealership of Roanoke
Dunn Chevrolet operated by father and son James and James Jr. out of this building from 1941 to 2007, selling Chevrolets, Oldsmobiles, and even Geos for a while. The building was originally a livery stable built in the 20s, with the old stables eventually being used as parts storage for the dealership.
This was the dealership's service area up until the business closed in 2007. Yes, those are wood floors you see. To support the weight of cars, the floor is heavily braced underneath with massive timbers. Notice the art deco ceiling? At some point between being a stable and a dealership, the building served as a bus depot.
The main lobby of the dealership is packed full of GM brochures, films, memorabilia, and items originally sold by the business over the years. Covering the walls are pictures spanning the dealership's life, and promotional material from Chevrolet as new models were released.
Here founder James Dunn Sr. stands in front of the dealership in 1949. The Chevrolet Genuine Parts neon sign in the background still hangs in that same window today.
This is just a sample of the pictures, brochures, and newspaper clippings collected by the Dunn family over the business' life. For a small town like Roanoke, back in the 50s and 60s the dealership was a central part of local life and the community.
Here's a picture from an old dealer planning committee meeting.
When the '55 Chevy debuted at Chevrolet dealerships in the fall of 1954, it reinvigorated Chevrolet and created a new image for the company with such a sleek, sporty design. This massive sales booklet was one of many tools that salesman had at dealerships to help sell customers into new '55s. Notice that this booklet is an early one that doesn't show the 210 hardtop in the lineup?
When a new model came out, Chevrolet would send banners like these to its dealers for customers to see. This banner sings the virtues of the all new Chevelle and some of its features.
Here's another silk banner telling customers about the SS line and its many virtues, along with the Corvair Spyder and Corvette.
This neat page in another dealer's brochure shows how the lubrication system works on the old reliable 235 I-6 engine. Just spin the disc on the side to watch the paper crankshaft spin and the piston/rod to go up and down.
Who knows how many salesmen punched their time card at this clock before going out to sell anything from big block Chevelles to six cylinder Novas.
Here Keith Rowell, who bought the contents of the dealership in 2007 just after it closed, goes through a stack of dealer promotional banners. Over the years nothing was thrown away as the model years changed, so a library of original material exists today.
When was the last time you saw a Chevrolet Zippo lighter? Note the four digit phone number for the dealership and the Zippo guarantee insert. Other items lying around included matchbooks from hotels in Cuba where the salesmen took a special sales trip to in the 50s.
Need some new red seat covers for your 53-54 Chevy? Still brand new in the box.
Filling the old wooden cabinets in the lobby are tons of NOS parts and dealer promotional items, including trim, radios, a brand new stop light viewer for a Tri-Five, an autotronic eye, and a NOS '57 Chevy clock.
Here's a bottle of promotional perfume from 1964. Still unopened, we wondered what the scent must've been like.
Around 1990 part of the dealership building in the back fell in, destroying some 40s and 50s model cars that the Dunn family owned. The old derelict in the foreground is a 30s Chevrolet pickup that was the delivery truck for the dealership, and delivered ice around town. Even though it's dented and got some rust holes, the steel body is mostly there and could be saved by a well motivated street rodder.
Car's needing service would be pulled in to this part of the dealership, where the mechanics worked on the heavy wood floors. To the left are just some of the many service manuals spanning the dealership's 60 years of work.
One of the special items that came with the contents was this '57 Convertible that has always been owned by the dealership since ordered new in '57. The car has never been restored, still sports original paint and the original top. It has just over 52,000 miles and still runs like new, and up until the dealership closed was used in town events and parades.
For power the car has a 185 HP 2bbl equipped 283 and a Powerglide trans, along with power steering. At some point in its life, the 283 got a set of Corvette finned aluminum valve covers.
Over the years, the Dunn's stashed some NOS parts for the '57 in the trunk to keep the car in tip-top condition. Note the box of new floor mats and the rear bumper parts, still new in box.
The car's original spare still resides on the original wheel in the trunk.
More modern tech manuals from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s.
In the parts department are shelves and shelves or NOS GM and AC Delco parts, spanning from the 50s to this century.
Trim, rubber pieces, belts, all sorts of parts fill the shelves.
Check out the old AC Delco spark plugs. For a 1000-point restoration, there are guys who'd probably kill for these.
Here's a brand new tissue dispenser for a Tri-Five.
On the wall leading down to the basement storage areas, we spotted all these NOS dipsticks, still brand new.
Sitting on a ledge below the dipsticks was this dusty, but still new '57 Chevy radio delete plate.
Yeah, they're not auto parts, but it's still cool to see stuff like this. Aside form the old coke bottles, the guys at the dealership also liked Mello Yello, RC Cola (luckily we didn't find any vintage Moon Pies), Dr. Pepper, and Nehi.
When was the last time you saw a full bottle of Nehi?
Because the torque output of engines kept climbing in the 60s, the factory motor mounts were being pushed to the limit. As a temporary fix, GM issued out "Engine Lift Stop Cables"...
...that attached from the engine to the control arm cross shaft to keep the motor from tearing away from the mounts (pictured).
Here a whole stack of them wait in their original boxes.
Walking through the basement storage rooms, it gave me the same kind of feeling explorers of ancient Egypt must've had when they opened a long sealed tomb filled with relics and treasures never seen. Every shelf was stacked with countless numbers of original parts, from carb kits to belts to trim pieces.
Hiding in the rafters of one room were some trim parts and these brand new steering wheels. Note the one in the center is a '57 150 steering wheel.
These old yellow and black GM boxes date back to before the 60s when GM changed to green and white packaging for parts and accessories. Packages like this were all over the basement storage area, the cool and moderately dry conditions preserving everything for decades.
Here's a real jewel, a brand new, in the crate 283 short block from around 62-63.
Next to the 283 short block was this never used 235 inline-six bare block, ready to find its way between the fenders of an original resto Chevy.
One real fascinating group of artifacts from the dealership is all of the invoice books from car sales over the years. Any car sold, mundane or high performance, has a receipt in one of these books.
Out of curiosity we started flipping through this invoice book from 1966. Here we see a purchase by Mr. J.A. Huddleston for a brand new '66 Nova SS sport coupe. Tuxedo black with Fawn vinyl trim, we can only wonder what Mr. Huddleston wanted to car to do, noticing the 350 HP 327 option along with a 4-speed trans for his new Nova. His trade-in for the car? A '55 Chevy 2-door of some sort (doesn't say if it was a hardtop or sedan)
Cool, vintage Schlitz pull top cans! When they weren't drinking Nehi or Coca-Cola, the shop guys must've been sneaking down to the basement for some cold malted refreshment during their breaks.
Brand new in the box, this 235 air cleaner assembly is mint and ready for someone's restoration project.
Brand new Tri-Five control arm anyone?
One of the other cars Keith got with his purchase of the dealership's contents was this beautiful '78 Indy 500 Pace Car that's never been titled and has only 44 miles on the clock. The car was never dealer prepped, the cardboard floor covering and plastic seat protectors still in place, and the factory pace car decals in their box in the back of the car.
Inside the Corvette's interior is the same as when it left the St. Louis assembly plant in 1978.
Even the window sticker is still on the car. Look closely at the EPA fuel economy sticker, the '78 Vette with an automatic was rated at 17 MPG in the city and 21 MPG on the highway. Not bad for a smogged up, wheezing 350 with no overdrive and a carburetor. Total price for this Corvette in 1978, $13.939.21
More cool old Coke bottles. Never knew they made big glass 2-liter bottles like that. Just imagine the sugar buzz you'd get chugging one of those pint bottles, or that whole 2-liter bottle. We could get a whole issue of Super Chevy done in a day.
Just imagine how many people walked through this door to purchase a new or used Chevy over the years? Just off Main Street in Roanoke, this building was the jumping off point for who knows how many high performance bowties to terrorize the locals and leave burnout marks on the back roads of Alabama.
Back inside the main building, we found another pile of NOS trim parts, floor mats, and other components. The old dealership is an NOS hunter's fantasy, with many of the NOS packages, wrappers, and boxes almost mint.
This sign has been in the window of the dealership for over fifty years, telling those who passed that genuine Chevrolet parts could be purchased inside. For most of Dunn Chevrolet's life, GM was the global leader in auto sales, with cars like the Impala, BelAir, Chevelle, Nova, Corvair, Camaro, and Corvette leading the charge.
Next door to the dealership building was a massive elevated wooden platform about one story high that served as the used car lot. In this photo you can see an early Corvair, '57 4-door, '60 Impala 4-door sedan, the nose of a '62 full size (can't tell if it's an Impala, Bel Air, or Biscayne), and an early '60s truck. After part of the building next to the platform collapsed around 1990, the wooden platform was removed, and the area was filled in with dirt to bring it level with the street again.
Hiding behind this parts counter is probably the biggest stash of NOS parts found in one place in over a decade. Walking through the cramped isles of shelves, we spotted all sorts of things. On a key rack we saw a whole stack of original Briggs & Stratton-made keys, a new 60s AM radio, brand new points sets, a myriad of amazing stuff.

The magazine has good fashion sense. the articles are easy to read.
I have been subscribed to this magazine a few months now and I really enjoy it. I would suggest it to anyone looking for a light read with lots of style and beauty advice.
Love the magazine.
This is a great magazine if you just want to look at pictures. It definitely feeds into the only thin women are beautiful and stylish, but that is their audience. The fashions are lovely.

Marie Claire is currently my favorite magazine. I love reading real news magazine articles and looking at up to date high end fashion and beauty. However, the editors need to decide who the audience is. It usually speaks to the modern professional woman, yet features photos and opinions of college freshman girls. I like that it does not speak to primarily older women like O magazine whose fashion is a bit baby boomer style, and that it doesn't speak primarily to mothers like Redbook, where I have to skip over all the articles and references to kids.
Marie Claire magazine is lots of fun stuff to read, though not everything is real so you must know about fashion and what item look good on you. Good info about people and lifestyle in different parts of the world. Interviews are great and give good insight.
Marie Claire is a smart magazine for women interested in more than celebrity trends. Their human interest stories are in depth and the stories I always go to first. I love that they explore women's issues globally but recently those pieces have been shortened and more puff fashion pieces are added. The fashion pieces lack focus and are the same run of the mill writing you would find in any other fashion magazine. Still, they have good, interesting content, and offer more depth than the average magazine geared towards women.

Marie Claire Magazine Review
Marie Claire magazine is a smart magazine for women interested in more than celebrity lifestyles and trends. I always first turn to the magazine's in-depth human-interest stories, like their recent article, "Faces if Hope," where they featured women refugees from Bosnia. I also like that Marie Claire covers global women's issues; there's been recent features on sex slave trade and infant mortality. These socially-conscious stories are well researched, well written and are always interesting. Whenever I pick up their latest copy, I always learn something new.
Another favorite feature of mine is the "Inspirational Women" column. The magazine features a host of women who have stellar careers. Whether it's a profile on Kate Spade's creative director, a Brazilian graffiti artist or a New York senator, I always feel empowered to continue to pursue my dreams.
They also devote a large portion of their content to money and career, which is great because I'm a career-minded person who's not really focused on starting a family. It's refreshing to find an interesting magazine that isn't mom-focused or about "keeping house."
Still, even though I most enjoy reading about women's issues and other serious topics like the latest health news and relationship advice in Marie Claire, there's ample fashion and beauty coverage. I am happy to say in the editors' picks for trends and styles, all budgets and body types are well-represented. Thanks for checking out my review and the latest Marie Claire magazine subscription discounts and offers from Magazines.com. Give us a call with any questions at 1-800-MAGAZINES.
