I can recall clipping car ads from Reader’s Digest as a young child in the mid-Sixties and these small format car ads have been a treasured piece of my automotive literature collection ever since. RD first began running advertisements in their US edition in 1955, but they began running ads in their overseas editions much earlier. The oldest RD car ad in my collection dates back to 1940 (Studebaker) and came from their pan-Latin American edition. I saved this ad showing the covers of the various editions of RD being published in 1960, as I have never seen a number of them and can only imagine what unique car ad treasures might be found within their bindings. Old copies of Reader’s Digest used to be a common find in thrift shops, rummage sales, etc. Up into the 1980s, RD was full of cars ads, although by 2000, the automobile industry wasn’t buying very much ad space in RD. My collection includes at least one ad from the following editions of Reader’s Digest: USA, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, Chile, Peru, UK, France, Denmark, Germany, Italy, South Africa, Japan, SE Asia and Australia.

About Westwood Plateau
WESTWOOD PLATEAU…Experiences Above & Beyond
When award-winning golf architect Michael Hurdzan, Golf World Magazine’s 1997 Architect of the Year, sets out to design a course he says that he wants to “create a ‘Wow’ effect for golfers.” At his Westwood Plateau Golf & Country Club, named ‘Best New Course in Canada in 1996’ by SCOREGolf Magazine, Hurdzan created his patented “Wow” effect on virtually every hole.
As a result, there is no ‘signature’ hole at the spectacular layout on Eagle Mountain because each hole stands alone. Yet each hole bears Hurdzan’s distinctive signature. “This is a magical piece of ground,” said Hurdzan. “When we built the course, the whole intent was to keep the great views, keep the special ethereal feeling and still create as wide a course as we could so that the average golfer could enjoy it.” Hurdzan not only achieved his lofty goal, he exceeded it. On this magical Coquitlam plateau 30 minutes east and 1,300 feet above Vancouver, the golf values are as pure as the snow on the distant mountain peaks. Little wonder that in 1999, Golf Digest called Westwood Plateau: “The best game in town.”
Whether playing from the back tees at 6,770 yards or from any of the other three tee boxes that gradually shorten the course to 5,514 yards, players are confronted by a singular challenge on each hole – deciding whether the view is more striking from the tee or from the green. The ProShot GPS system on each power cart takes the pressure off club selection by displaying precise yardages on easy-to-read screens. It also provides yardages to the hazards; individual tips on playing the hole; updates on your tournament; and ProShot can quickly relay messages in case of emergencies. In addition to the on-cart GPS, you’ll also receive range balls, day locker, bottled water, tee gift, and continental breakfast included in your fees. Other available extras range from transportation via helicopter from downtown Vancouver to fully-stocked personal mini bars on your cart. These above and beyond services helped earn Westwood Plateau ‘5th Best Customer Service in North America’, as ranked by 6500 Golf Digest readers, and Golf Digest’s 4 1/2 - star rating in their Best Places to Play edition.
A fully public facility, Westwood Plateau offers 27 holes of outstanding golf, two distinct restaurants, a nationally recognized teaching academy and a 35,000 square foot clubhouse perfect for corporate entertaining and weddings.
Westwood Plateau’s mission statement is simple – To deliver Above & Beyond experiences through superior service and product quality! We look forward to serving you!

Cadet Bonny Bradway works with a Ugandan construction worker to build the biogas digester dome using local brick and mortar made on site during a Renewable Energy mission June 16 – July 3. The digester, which uses waste and food scraps to create methane for cooking and fertilizer, was constructed in conjunction with The Kasiisi Project, an organization focused on conservation education in Kibale National Park. This is the second digester the USMA has been involved with in the past two years in partnership with Green Heat Uganda, a company that supports small-scale biogas development in Uganda. The interaction with Ugandan engineer and construction workers on the digester allowed the cadets to gain a perspective on construction methods in the developing world.

Just messing around in the living-room, with a new camera or lens and I fired off a few test shots of the TV. This is one of my favourites; I'm pleased with the timing.
Someone has taken a whole bunch of readers digest condensed books and cut them into letters. And now they’re at a store being sold.

Compost solids produced by the anaerobic digester at Pennwood Dairy Farms in Berlin PA. An anaerobic digester is a component of a waste management system that captures biogas for energy production a byproduct of this system are compost solids that are used for bedding for the dairy’s cattle. The anaerobic digester practice is part of a planned conservation management system that manages manure and/or comprehensive nutrient management system. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack visited the dairy on Tuesday, July 17, 2012 to announce the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) energy efficiency programs and announced a new effort to help rural consumers make affordable, energy-efficient improvements to their homes and businesses.

“As you approach the house, you see through to Lake Michigan—it’s transparent,” architect David Hovey says of his residence outside Chicago. Above: Hovey explains that “the voids in the beams provide a Belgian-lace texture to the ceiling.” Bronzes by Rodin—a 1981 cast of Meditation sans Bras—and Henry Moore—his 1956 Seated Torso—are joined by a 1984 Gerhard Richter oil, Abstrakes Bild.
