Successful Partnerships Make for a Successful Brownfields Program
The first loan agreement under the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services' (NH DES) Brownfields Cleanup Revolving Loan Fund (BCRLF) program was signed on January 17, 2002 by developers Peter Smith and Dean Jackson, of Smith Jackson, LLC. This $189,000 loan will assist with cleanup costs for the former Whitney Screw site in Nashua, NH. The redevelopment will provide expanded facilities for a local business, Goodale's Bike, and additional office space.
This success is the outcome of the cooperation and commitment of the U.S. EPA's Brownfields Program; the city of Nashua's Brownfields Assessment Demonstration Pilot; several programs within NH DES, including Brownfields, Ustfields, the Oil Pollution Control Fund Tank Removal Program, and the New Hampshire Petroleum Reimbursement Fund program; and Smith Jackson, LLC. The strength and credibility of the partnerships resulted in approximately $2,000,000 of leveraged private investments by the developers. This is a great example of coordinated use of the Brownfields Assessment Demonstration Pilot Program, the Brownfields Cleanup Revolving Loan Fund, and other important state-agency brownfields tools to transition an abandoned, contaminated property to productive reuse.

Nashua, New Hampshire and It's Brownfields History
Nashua, New Hampshire has a diverse population. The city (population 86,605) has an 11% minority population compared to 6% in Hillsborough County and 4% statewide (New Hampshire Office of State Planning (NH OSP) statistics, 2000.) Nashua also has a low unemployment rate of 2.9% for 2000, compared to the national rate of 4.0% (Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics.)
Nashua has a strong record of addressing Brownfields site issues. The city initiated the Broad Street Redevelopment Corridor (BSRC) Initiative, comprised of 95 acres near a $36.5 million major new arterial street that will connect the primary highway in the area to the downtown. The new road will provide access and visibility to a number of older, contaminated industrial properties, including the former Whitney Screw property. The new road is expected to improve the economic viability and redevelopment potential of the area. In 1999, the city applied for and received $200,000 to fund a Brownfields Assessment Demonstration Pilot to prioritize and conduct assessments of sites within the BSRC.
Also in 1999, the NH DES BCRLF, in coalition with the NH OSP, the city of Concord, and the towns of Durham and Londonderry, was established through a cooperative agreement with the EPA. The original award from EPA to NH DES was $1,450,000. In December 2000, the New Hampshiret of Bradford, Greenfield and Newport joined the coalition to request additional funds. In September 2001, the NH DES BCRLF received an additional $1,000,000 from EPA, bringing the total capitalization to $2,450,000.
Whitney Screw Site Background
The 5.4-acre former Whitney Screw site, at 14A and 14B Broad Street abuts a mix of residential properties and businesses to the north, east, and west; an active rail corridor to the south. The area is home to approximately 6.3% of the city's population. Historical use of the property involved a variety of industrial activities under a series of ownerships beginning in the early 1900s. Whitney Screw's plating room operations ceased in April 1985. Currently, a one-story warehouse complex (89,610 square feet) consisting of 12 attached structures spans the site.
On June 28, 1995, all leases and rents were assigned to the Bank of New Hampshire while Whitney Screw remained the record title owner. Whitney Screw was involuntarily dissolved by the Secretary of State on November 3, 1997. As of December 2000, property taxes had not been paid in 8 years, with back taxes and penalties totaling $350,000.
The Assessment Demonstration Pilot Phase
As part of their Brownfields Assessment Demonstration Pilot, the city hired GZA GeoEnvironmental, Inc. (GZA) to conduct a Brownfields Site Investigation from April to July 2001. After completing the site investigations, GZA developed two Remedial Action Plans (RAP) in September 2001 which documented findings and recommendations. The RAPs recommended the following sources be remediated:
- 14A Broad Street
- Lead-contaminated soil and peeling lead paint on exterior wall of Building 1A;
- Petroleum-soaked wood flooring in Machine Shop;
- Petroleum-soaked wood boxes;
- Petroleum-contaminated soil under portion of Machine Shop;
- Potential asbestos-containing building material (ACBMs) in buildings to be demolished/renovated.
- 14B Broad Street
- Asbestos-containing insulation on three exterior pipes;
- Cadmium in soil near Building Number 11;
- Asbestos in soil near Building 8;
- Potential ACBMs in buildings to be demolished/renovated.
The estimated cost for remediation to meet state and federal standards for non-residential use was $360,681. To date, the city of Nashua has spent $123,553 of its Brownfields Assessment Demonstration Pilot funds on completing the site investigation and developing the RAPs for the site.
The Brownfields Cleanup Revolving Loan Fund Phase
As a result of the original owner defaulting on the mortgage loan, Smith Jackson, LLC purchased the option for the mortgage from the Bank of New Hampshire in the fall of 2001 and then received approval from the Nashua Planning Board to subdivide the property into two lots, 14A and 14B. Having secured ownership in the property, Smith Jackson, LLC. then applied for a loan to defray from the cleanup costs. On January 17, 2002, Smith Jackson, LLC borrowed $189,000 from the NH DES BCRLF for eligible cleanup costs. The payback period will be 12 months at an interest rate of 3%.
With respect to the BCRLF administration, NH DES is acting as the Lead Agency under the National Oil Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP), as the Brownfields Site Manager to oversee the cleanup, and as Fund Manager (with the assistance of the New Hampshire Department of Treasury and the New Hampshire Business Finance Authority) to handle the financial aspects of the loan. As part of the terms of the loan, NH DES also agreed to provide the developer with Direct Financial Assistance to cover some of the costs associated with compliance with the NCP. To date, NH DES has spent $4,219 for GZA to prepare an EE/CA, develop a Community Relations Plan, and to generate a Quality Assurance Project Plan as Direct Financial Assistance (DFA) under the BCRLF. NHDES anticipates an additional $4,834 to be spent on post-excavation sampling and analysis at the site (also as BCRLF DFA).
Redevelopment Plan
Smith Jackson, LLC plans to spend an additional $2,000,000 on improvements to demolish approximately 20,000 square feet of the existing warehouse complex and to renovate approximately 50,280 square feet of building space to house new tenants. Smith Jackson, LLC signed a purchase and lease agreement with Goodale's Bike, New Englands's largest bicycle dealer, in business since 1919. They have been at their downtown location for the past 31 years. They will combine and relocate their 3 separate Nashua facilities to the renovated building. There they will have approximately 12,200 square feet of retail and showroom space, as well expanded service and storage areas.
Other Funding and Tools
In addition to receiving a BCRLF Loan, Smith Jackson, LLC also utilized other tools and incentives available to developers working on brownfields in New Hampshire. First, in the fall of 2001, Smith Jackson, LLC applied for an eligibility determination to participate in the New Hampshire Brownfields Covenant Program, a program designed to provide incentives for both environmental cleanup and redevelopment by persons who did not cause the contamination. This is accomplished under a process by which eligible persons can obtain a "Covenant Not to Sue" from the N.H. Department of Justice (DOJ) and a "Certificate of Completion" from the NH DES when investigations and cleanups are performed in accordance with NH DES cleanup requirements. Following an application review, on October 31, 2001 the NH DOJ determined eligibility to participate in the program. Smith Jackson, LLC agreed to provide a Remedial Action Plan in exchange for liability protections provided by the program.
Second, Smith Jackson, LLC was also able to secure an additional $19,164 from the NHDES Ustfields Pilot and the Oil Pollution Control Fund Tank Removal Program was for the removal of four underground storage tanks and numerous fuel-containing drums that were identified by GZA as part of the Brownfields Site Investigation. Removal of the tanks has made the site eligible for up to $1,500,000 from the New Hampshire Petroleum Reimbursement Funds for the removal of floating petroleum product and the associated groundwater contamination.

The Discmania Psycho, P2 - S Line is a straight beadless pro putter and approach disc that is significantly more stable than it's older brother the P1. Targeted especially for pro-players the P2 works great for wrist-putts and fade-in shots inside and outside the circle. Due to it's stability the P2 works great for approaches and can even tackle strong headwinds. It is also a very consistent driving putter.
|D Line
|S Line
What other have said about it:
"...The disc has very little low speed turn but can still handle power for driving without turning over..."
"Excellent disc. The S-line is the straightest putter I have ever thrown. The disc has very little low speed turn but can still handle power for driving without turning over. The D- line is great for long putts and the wind has very little effect on it. The P2 is a beadless putter lovers dream come true." - BL

Wooden Puzzle Gift Set - 6 Puzzles
A clever gift to challenge the mind!
6 interlocking wooden puzzles set, stored in a fancy, high quality, handcrafted wooden box that comes with a matching lid. (Instructions / Solutions for the puzzles included inside).
Diamond Cube: Difficulty Level [1-5]: 4
This puzzle has 12 non-identical pieces where one key piece is the first to go out and the last to go in. Once you get it apart you must assemble the pieces back together in precisely the correct way and this is NOT an easy puzzle to solve!
Star: Difficulty Level [1-5]: 3
This star-like puzzle is a cluster of 6 wooden blocks made by carefully carving two of the surfaces of each block, so that the individual pieces can interlock. Even if you know the shape of the blocks, you will find separating them or reassembling the cluster a very puzzling problem to tackle.
Soma Cube: Difficulty Level [1-5]: 4
Invented in 1936 by Piet Hein (Danish mathematician). There are 240 different ways to build a solid cube. Arches, walls, plinths, towers, ships, etc. can also be created from the Soma Cube. The 7 non-identical pieces that go into the Soma Cube represent all the ways in which three or four cubes can be arranged other than in a straight line. Includes wooden box.
Caged Ball: Difficulty Level [1-5]: 4
12 pieces puzzle creating a cage that contains a wooden ball. The secret of solving this wooden puzzle lies in twisting some of the bars in order to free the others. Invented in the early 1900's.
Snake Cube: Difficulty Level [1-5]: 4
One of the most amazing brain teaser 3D cubes! Once the cube is unraveling, it looks like a snake where all its 27 pieces are ties with a flexible rubber band wire, and you'll discover how it's complicated and difficult to get back into the original shape.
Notched Stick: Difficulty Level [1-5]: 3
Containing 5 intricately cut different shaped pieces and 1 key piece; it provides challenge and expects improvisation from the puzzler. Getting it apart is only half the battle! Now, reassemble the six pieces of wood back into the original form.
Approximate Total Dimensions (with craft box): 7.75" x 5.25" x 3.25"
Approximate Total Weight: 1.5 lbs.
Approximate Dimensions for each of the six puzzles: 2" x 2" x 2"

Wonderful Summer Dress!!! Bought this dress for my Moms as a Birthday Present...she LOVE'S it!! It's easy to wash and then hang to dry. Sears-sucker fabric...which keeps her nice and cool! She looks beautiful in it and she is 87 years old and still turns older men's heads when walking down the street! August 30, 2013
Wonderful I love seersucker clothes and this dress did not disappoint. Very comfy, smooth, love the pockets. Got the green color, I hope the orange color will be available again, definitely will buy. August 3, 2013
Seersucker Dress So happy to have this dress as our weather has reached the 100's... It fits fine and is very comfortable. Gave it a 4 as there is always room for improvement in anything we purchase. I do like the dress very much. July 19, 2013
So sweet! I ordered the button-front seersucker dress as I was yearning for a new comfy cool summer dress. I hardly ever wear dresses and the summer ones I have seemed old and-out-dated. I saw this one in the catalogue and thought, "Hey! Just the thing". It was so popular, it was back-ordered, but it was worth waiting for. Informally, I can wear it without a shirt underneath, but for church, I put a short-sleeve white T under it and it's just modest enough. I love the quality of your products. Folks asked me where I bought it and I told them proudly. Thanks! July 17, 2013
Well made I finally got this dress after being on backorder for several weeks. It is well made and the front button placket is stitched down so it doesn't curl when washed...a big plus. It washes and wears well. (shrinks a bit which is fine for me) I would order it again in a different color if my size (M) was available. Now for the only negative...the dress is long! It is not the 43 inches listed in the description. It actually measures slightly over 48 inches long...a full 5 inches longer than I was expecting. I'm debating whether to hem it or not. I wish the Vermont Country Store dresses were available in petite for those of us who are not as tall as we used to be! LOL! July 17, 2013
Very comfortable I really like the dress because it is pretty and very comfortable. It is a dress that is very versatile. One of my wardrobe favorites. May 18, 2013

Cunningham has been a highly regarded prospect. He has size for the position and is a very polished, well-rounded receiver. He was a durable starter, making him a solid third-round value.
Cunningham is very savvy off the ball when getting into his route, using his core strength to swat away hands and lean on corners. He has very quick feet and can get corners off balance in-route, and can burst and then snap routes off quickly, gaining separation. He is a good zone-feel receiver who likes to sit in holes, catch the ball and work upfield. He is a strong and physical player who makes his presence felt when blocking downfield. Weaknesses
Cunningham can struggle if he doesn't get open quickly with his footwork. He can be physical in routes, which at times can allow defensive backs to run in-phase with him.

Gallery: Lego Style Shipping Container Skyscraper Inspired by Mondrian
Since Rotterdam has a rather vast container port, sourcing the modular elements for the Adaptable Tower would be made even more sustainable since the containers would not have to be trucked from afar. The containers could be removed, extended and rearranged within the mega frame to cater to changes such as fluctuations in market forces, different types of families moving into the area, etc. It would also allow residents to enlarge their apartments to accommodate larger families by extending their homes into vacant grids instead of having to move to the suburbs.
The lower floors of the tower house a basketball court, communal areas and a sky lobby. And as if all of the adaptability of the building isn't convenient enough as it is, the four legs of the mega-frame straddle the underground metro line below, meaning that getting to the station platform would just be a matter of going downstairs.

East Tennessee State Straps On The Pads
Wednesday, August 14, 2002Johnson City, Tenn. (Aug. 14, 2002) - The sound was unmistakable this morning in Memorial Center on the campus of East Tennessee State, the sound of pad on pad as the Buccaneer football team had its first practice in full pads. For the first time since practice started on Saturday, the defense squared off against the offense in some drills. Offensively Scott Carter (Knoxville, Tenn.) made some nice runs and came up with a diving catch in the end zone on drills inside the 10-yard line. The returning experience of the ETSU defense (all 11 starters back) also showed, with defenders showing up in the offensive backfield on a number of occasions to break up plays. "I think we have made a lot of progress so far," said head coach Paul Hamilton. "I think the thing we have to be concerned about, as always in two-a-days, is guys getting bumps and bruises or tweaks to hamstrings and ankles. But we are doing fine so far and the kids are working hard and have a lot of enthusiasm. We are looking forward to putting the pads on and see where we are at as far as competing against each other."

'Solar Ivy' Photovoltaic Leaves Climb to New Heights
Solar Ivy (or SMIT Grow) is a spectacular system of thin, fluttering solar panels that generate energy by sparkling in the sunlight. The wind and solar power generating photovoltaic leaves can be easily integrated on the side of a building to produce energy. The concept, designed by Brooklyn based SMIT (Sustainably Minded Interactive Technology), consists of a layer of thin-film material on top of polyethylene with a piezoelectric generator attached to each leaf. When the sun is shining or the wind is blowing, energy is being generated via Solar Ivy.
We first reported on these photovoltaic leaves over a year ago, and we were thrilled to see them showcased at Dwell on Design last weekend. The Solar Ivy system is modular in nature and made up of 'bricks' of 5 leaves which may be scaled to any size necessary. A 4 x 7 foot strip of Solar Ivy is capable of generating 85 Watts of solar power. The advantage of this type of system is that it may be easily mounted on a vertical wall due to its light weight. Another ingenious attribute of Solar Ivy is that its light-sourcing leaves are not static, allowing them to move around and catch the sun from many directions. Due to the organic shape of each panel, they look and act like real leaves, providing a more authentic climbing ivy aesthetic. Watch here how they blow and shimmer in the wind.
Designed by a brother and sister super team, Samuel Cochran and Teresita Cochran, the SMIT Grow or Solar Ivy is still in concept phase as they await funding to put their product into play. There are two versions of Solar Ivy – one with the piezoelectric generator and one without. Ideally, they would like to develop both concepts, but costs are prohibitive at this point to include the mini-generator.
Over the last year the Cochrans have exhibited at the MoMa Exhibition: Design and the Elastic Mind, and Design Philadelphia, where they were commissioned to outfit a bus stop in Solar Ivy. People who were waiting for the bus could simply plug in their cell phone to charge their battery. Solar Ivy has been featured in a number of magazines and was a concept design for a five-star luxury hotel in Zayed Bay, Abu Dhabi. Most recently, Solar Ivy exhibited at Dwell on Design for the Designboom Kitchen Ecology: Recipes for Good Design.

Seems more decorative than anything else. Not that that is bad but if you are looking for energy generaton I am not sure this is the way to go. I would prefer a living green wall to fluttering solar cells, myself.
