Boston's Neighborhoods
While all of the neighborhoods listed below are popular with Boston University undergraduates, Allston/Brighton is often the top choice among students living off-campus. For more extensive neighborhood descriptions please see the Housing Resource Guide, which is available at this address: www.bumc.bu.edu/ohr/hrg/. Additionally, BU Today has an online guide to the various neighborhoods in Greater Boston. The slideshow can be accessed at: http://www.bu.edu/today/nearby-neighborhoods/.
Although Allston and Brighton are two distinct communities with their own zip codes and unique characters, this area is often referred to as simply "Allston/Brighton." With its thriving nightlife, inexpensive housing, and close proximity to the western edge of the Charles River Campus, this district is especially popular with BU undergraduates. Allston/Brighton offers easy access to dozens of retail establishments, restaurants, and bars, and is only 20 minutes via the Green Line to downtown Boston. Although BU and Boston College students tend to dominate Allston/Brighton, this residential area is also home to families with close ties to the neighborhoods.
The Gardner, Ashford, and Pratt Street area plays host to an active weekend social scene. If you prefer a quieter residential atmosphere, you would be wise to steer clear of this area. As a social center with a high student turnover, housing in this area takes considerable abuse and is not always in the best condition. To avoid any surprises during move-in, be sure to inspect any prospective units carefully before signing a lease.
Cleveland Circle sits at the end of the Green "C" Line near Chestnut Hill and is a haven for Boston College undergraduates and young alumni. Although this area is indistinguishable from its Brookline neighbor, it is actually a small community within Brighton and caters to the needs of students on a budget. From this westernmost point, access to the Charles River campus by the MBTA "T" is approximately 40-45 minutes and only 20 minutes by car. Free on-street parking is available but limited. A residential sticker is required in some areas.

Back Bay
The Back Bay is known for its stately brownstones, Parisian-style boulevards, trendy boutiques, fine dining, and upscale hotels. Back Bay stretches from downtown Boston to the Kenmore/Fenway area and includes Copley Square, parts of the South End, the Boston Common, and the Commonwealth Avenue Mall – a tree-lined park area nestled between elegant brownstones. Some of Boston's most famous architectural landmarks – Trinity Church, the Boston Public Library, the Hancock Tower, and the Prudential Center – are situated in the heart of Back Bay. Newbury Street, which boasts some of Boston's best shopping, is also located in this area. Back Bay is among Boston's most exclusive districts and is at its best during the holiday season. While the Back Bay is home to the Berklee College of Music, as well as MIT fraternities and BU's Danielsen Hall, rents can be out of reach for most budget-conscious students. Parking is also expensive and difficult to find. Access to the Charles River campus is via the Green Line Arlington, Copley, Hynes Convention Center "T" stations. The Boston University Medical Center (BUMC) is a 20-minute walk or a 10-minute bike ride from the Back Bay. By bus, take the CT1 bus or the #1 bus, which starts at the Hynes Convention Center and runs direct to the BUMC via Massachusetts Avenue.
Located south and west of the Charles River campus, this sprawling residential community tends to attract undergraduates in search of a quieter community as well as graduate students, faculty, and staff. Coolidge Corner sits at the intersection of Harvard Avenue and Beacon Street and is the heart of the Brookline Community. Coolidge Corner features a mix of take-out eateries, fine dining, bookstores, boutiques, and real estate agencies. This area is home to college students, young families, working professionals, and retirees. Only a 20-minute walk from the Charles River campus, Coolidge Corner and the surrounding area offers the convenience of urban living with the feel of a suburban community. Brookline's many public parks add to the area's appeal and provide space to relax, take in the sun, and escape the congestion of city life.
Washington Square, only one "T" stop west of Coolidge Corner, offers a mix of affordable apartments and restaurants with easy access to BU. Brookline Village, a small community approximately one mile south of Coolidge Corner, borders Jamaica Plain and is accessible via the bus and the Green "D" Line. With its affordable rents and easy access to the Longwood Medical Area, Brookline Village is especially popular with graduate students and young working professionals. To access BU's Medical Campus, take the B, C, or D Green Line to the Hynes Convention Center and transfer to the #1 or the CT1 bus.
Overnight parking is prohibited in Brookline. When considering rental properties, check to ensure that parking is included. If not, you may need to arrange for off-site parking at a cost of roughly $75-$175 per month.

Traditionally associated with those "other" institutions of higher learning, Cambridge sits north of Boston University and is popular with graduate students, faculty, and staff. Cambridge abuts Somerville and Belmont to the north and Watertown to the west, and is home to four communities: Harvard Square, North Cambridge/Fresh Pond, East Cambridge, and Cambridgeport. Rents vary greatly from area to area and are generally lower the further distance from Harvard Square. The North Cambridge/Fresh Pond area, for example, offers more affordable apartments and is accessible by the Red Line's Alewife Station but adds another 20 minutes to the commute to the Charles River Campus. Housing in the Harvard Square area is much in demand, especially by MIT and Harvard University students, so the competition for affordable rental units can be intense. Units in older two-and three-family homes within a short walk of Harvard Square are especially desirable, but these bargains can be difficult to find. Parking in the Harvard Square area is extraordinarily difficult to locate so taking public transportation is your best option. To access the Charles River Campus, take the Red Line to Park Street and hop on a Green Line "B" train heading outbound. The BUMC is about a 20-25 minute drive from Harvard Square. Follow Massachusetts Avenue, which cuts through Cambridge, south to the BUMC. By bus, transfer at Andrew Square then take the CT3 bus to the BUMC. Alternatively, take the #1 bus, which runs straight down Massachusetts Avenue, or hop on the #47 bus from Central Square to the BUMC.

Considered "sacred ground" by dedicated Boston Red Sox fans, the Fenway/Kenmore neighborhood is much more than an area surrounding one of the country's oldest and most beloved ball parks. Although often grouped together, Fenway and Kenmore are actually two distinct neighborhoods offering different amenities.
Kenmore Square sits at the intersection of three major arteries – Commonwealth Avenue, Beacon Street, and Brookline Avenue – on the easternmost side of the Boston University campus. Kenmore is a hub for public transportation and includes bus and MBTA "T" stations with easy access to Logan Airport and downtown Boston. Boston University owns and operates a considerable number of graduate and undergraduate units in the Kenmore/Audubon Circle area. For more information about housing available in this area, visit BU's Housing Office or Rental Property Management.
The Fenway area is also home to the "Colleges of the Fenway" (Simmons, Wheelock, Wentworth Institute of Technology, MassArt, Emmanuel, and the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy). Bordered by Northeastern University on the south, Massachusetts Avenue on the east, and the Massachusetts Turnpike to the north, this dense neighborhood is popular with students and young working professionals. The Longwood Medical Area, a cluster of several world-class hospitals to the east of the Fenway, stretches along Brookline and Longwood Avenue, and includes Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital, Brigham and Women's Hospital, the Harvard Medical School, and Children's Hospital. This area also boasts some of the city's leading cultural institutions, including the Museum of Fine Arts, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, and Symphony Hall, home of the Boston Pops Orchestra. Boston's Emerald Necklace, park and recreational space designed by Frederick Law Olmstead, begins in the Fenway and serves as a refuge from the sights and sounds of urban living. Although recently constructed units are available, much of the housing stock in both neighborhoods dates back several decades and offers the charm and challenges of older units. Apartments in this area often retain the original woodwork and craftsmanship of a bygone era. The charm can be eclipsed, however, by older plumbing and obstructed views. Rents are generally competitive.

Jamaica Plain
Jamaica Plain, affectionately known as "JP," is perhaps the most culturally and ethnically diverse section of the city. Only 20 minutes from downtown Boston, JP boasts some of the finest parkland in the city. The Arnold Arboretum, a 265-acre botanical garden, features educational programs and community events. Jamaica Pond, a short walk from Centre Street, offers boating and walkways perfect for running and cycling. JP has a well-deserved reputation for its eclectic mix of wonderful restaurants, everything from Cuban to Indian, Italian, Irish, Middle Eastern, and Ethiopian. Housing prices vary depending upon the area and style of accommodations, which include triple-decker houses, stately Victorian homes, and some apartment buildings. The Green "E" Line, which runs along the same route as the Green Line but continues on through the center of Jamaica Plain. Commuting to and from JP requires changing from the #39 bus to the Green Line at Copley Square. JP is also accessible via the Orange Line, which runs south to Forest Hills. Jamaica Plain is one of the few sections of the Boston that does not require a residential parking sticker. Rents in JP are generally reasonable regardless of whether the property is close to Brookline or further south toward Forest Hills.

Somerville sits north of Cambridge and borders Belmont and Watertown on the west. Medford, home to Tufts University, is Somerville's northern neighbor. Davis Square, the heart of Somerville, features family-owned restaurants, coffee shops, and stores. At night, the area comes alive as Tufts, Harvard, and MIT students flock to the area's jazz and rock music clubs.
Somerville offers a rich cultural and ethnic diversity. The population of this densely populated community is a mix of Tufts students, young professionals, working families, and immigrants. For more information about this urban community, check out the video entitled, "Welcome to Somerville, MA" on www.youtube.com.
Harvard is just one "T" stop away from the Davis Square Red Line stop. To access the Charles River Campus, take the Red Line inbound from the Alewife, David, or Porter Square stations, change at Park Street and take a Green Line "B" train outbound. By bus, take the Red Line inbound to Central Square, change to the #47 bus at Green and Magazine Street, and exit at the stop on the BU Bridge. To access the South End and the BUMC, take the Orange Line from Sullivan Square.
Click here to learn more about Davis Square and view a slideshow.
South End
Not to be confused with South Boston or "Southie," the South End is situated just south of Back Bay and is especially popular with BU medical and dental students. The South End is home to the Boston Ballet, the Boston Center for the Arts (BCA), several art galleries, and some of Boston's finest restaurants. After years of decline, this ethnically and economically diverse area has undergone significant redevelopment and is now one of the hottest rental markets in the city. Tremont Street, Washington Street, and Columbus Avenue run through the heart of this neighborhood and host many of the area's restaurants and businesses. The BU Shuttle Bus ("The BUS"), a free service for members of the Boston University community, connects the Medical and Charles River campuses with stops along Massachusetts Avenue. For a map of bus routes and to track buses in real time, visit www.bu.edu/thebus.
Harrison Court, at 761 Harrison Avenue, features studios, one- and two-bedroom units and is conveniently located directly across from the BU Medical Center. With its close proximity to the BUMC, this building is so popular that there is usually a waiting list. For more information about Harrison Court and 815 Albany Street, a state-of-the-art medical student residence scheduled to open in June 2012, contact Rental Property Management at 617-353-4104 or visit their website [www.bu.edu/orpm].

In addition to the neighborhoods listed above, faculty, staff, and graduate students also reside in several other communities in and around Boston. Accessing these neighborhoods typically requires a car or commuter rail transportation:
While commuting to Arlington would prove challenging for most undergraduates, this community is a good option for graduate students, faculty, and staff. Wedged between Medford, Somerville, Belmont, Winchester, and Lexington, Arlington sits north of Boston at the end of the Red Line and offers easy access to Cambridge via Alewife station. Buses also run regularly along Massachusetts Avenue, which extends from the South End through Arlington, and serves as the main artery into Cambridge and downtown Boston. Although Arlington is only 6 miles north of Boston, the commute by car to downtown can take an hour or more in rush-hour traffic. Even so, the selection and price of rental properties in this area can be worth the longer commute. This northern suburb also affords easy access by bus or car to Lexington, Concord, and Bedford – perfect for weekend excursions.
Arlington offers an array of housing options from large high-rise apartment complexes to converted two-family homes. Dozens of eateries, small shops, and bakeries line Mass Ave and are especially popular with residents of area apartment buildings. The Minuteman Bikeway, an 11-mile recreational trail, begins at the Alewife "T" station, winds its way through Arlington and Lexington, and ends in Bedford. This bike path is used by both walkers and riders and passes by some of the town's recreational areas, including playgrounds, athletic fields, a skating rink, and Spy Pond. Close to businesses along Massachusetts Avenue, this trail is also popular with commuters who bike or walk to the Alewife "T" station. Two area theaters provide the best entertainment at affordable prices. Located on Mass Ave in East Arlington, the Capital Theater shows recent releases at discounted prices. The Regent Theater, a 500-seat performing arts center on Medford Street, features plays, live performances, and family entertainment.
Beacon Hill
Located in the heart of Boston, Beacon Hill has long been home to some of the city's wealthiest residents. This National Historic District features well-appointed federal style brownstones, brick sidewalks, cobblestone streets, and gas lamps. Beacon Hill is home to Suffolk University, Massachusetts General Hospital, and the Massachusetts State House and is a short walk to the Financial District, Government Center, Boston's theater district, and Newbury Street. With its central location and Charles Street Red Line stop, Beacon Hill also allows easy access to Cambridge, Somerville, and the northern suburbs. Although Beacon Hill is a congested area with narrow alleyways and little parking, it is considered a desirable section of the city and much sought after for its charm and historic appeal. The rental units in this area are typically smaller, more expensive, and extraordinarily difficult to come by.

Home to the Bunker Hill monument and the U.S.S. Constitution, Charlestown sits north of the city and connects to Boston proper via the Zakim Bridge and Charlestown Bridge. Charlestown is one of Boston's oldest and most historic neighborhoods. This area has long been known as a working-class neighborhood with a strong Irish identity. Charlestown has undergone a facelift in recent years, especially near the waterfront, and offers a mix of older, renovated units and newly-constructed housing. Charlestown is accessible via the Orange Line stations and Sullivan Square and Bunker Hill, as well as by the #93 bus.
Dorchester, Boston's largest residential community, is home to the University of Massachusetts/Boston and the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum. Dorchester's affordable housing continues to attract an ethnically diverse population with a strong pride in the area. Dorchester is a hodgepodge of smaller neighborhoods each with its own character and sense of community. These communities include: Uphams Corner, Columbia Point (home to the JFK Museum and UMASS/Boston), Savin Hill, Fields Corner, Four Corners, Codman Square, Ashmont, and Neponset. Prices for condos and rental units tend to be somewhat lower in Dorchester than in other areas of the city. The housing stock in this area ranges from older Victorian homes to three-family homes (better known as "triple-deckers") and the massive Harbor Point apartment complex. Transportation along the Red Line is reliable and traveling time depends upon the location and time of day, generally anywhere from 10-25 minutes.
East Boston
East Boston, one of the oldest neighborhoods of the city, is a working-class area directly beneath the flight path to Logan International Airport. East Boston is a peninsula, separated from the rest of the city by the harbor, and is accessible to the North End via the Sumner and Callahan Tunnels and to South Boston and Storrow Drive by the Ted Williams Tunnel. Although this low lying area can be prone to flash flooding during winter storms and torrential summer downpours, East Boston offers a variety of two- and three-family homes to choose from as well as some of the most stunning views of Boston. Although rents in this area are typically less expensive than the rest of the city, the distance from this location to both the BUMC and Charles River Campus is significant and presents a challenge for commuters. East Boston is accessible via the "T" Blue Line. To reach the BUMC, take the Blue Line to State Street, transfer to the Orange Line, and then connect with the CT1 bus at Massachusetts Avenue. To reach the Charles River Campus, take the Blue Line to Government Center and transfer to a Green Line "B" train heading outbound.
Located just north of Boston, this ethnically diverse community is largely residential. Apartments in this area are typically large and moderately priced. Malden is easily accessible to supermarkets, Laundromats, and shopping centers. Because Malden offers access to the Orange Line and several bus routes, traveling by car is convenient but not necessary.
Mission Hill
Mission Hill, a culturally diverse neighborhood bordering Roxbury and Jamaica Plain, is home to many Northeastern, MassArt, and Wentworth Institute of Technology students. Like Jamaica Plain, housing in this area of the city includes triple-deckers, Victorian homes, and mixed-income complexes. Huntington Avenue cuts through the Northeastern campus and connects Mission Hill with the Copley Square/Prudential area as well as downtown Boston. Brigham Circle, Mission Hill's commercial hub, is a block away from Brigham and Women's Hospital with stops for the Green "E" Line train and the #39 bus. To access the Charles River Campus, take the #39 bus to Copley then switch to a Green "B" train heading outbound. BUMC students should take the #39 bus or "E" Heath Street train to the Symphony stop then transfer to the #1 or CT1 bus. Apartments in Mission Hill tend to be large. Parking is readily available but parking permits are required.
Voted among the top 10 safest cities in the country, Newton is a prosperous suburb 8 miles west of Boston, known for its strong community and excellent school system. In 2009, Newton North and Newton South high schools were ranked fifth and sixth, respectively, in Boston Magazine's ranking of public schools in the greater Boston area. Newton is a collection of 13 smaller neighborhoods. These communities include: Auburndale, Chestnut Hill, Lower Falls, Newton Centre, Newton Corner, Newton Highlands, Newtonville, Nonatum, Oak Hill, Thompsonville, Upper Falls, Waban, and West Newton.
Rental prices throughout the 13 communities vary from expensive housing in large complexes geared to working professionals to less expensive units in multi-family dwellings. A unit's proximity to Boston or the Massachusetts Turnpike ("Mass Pike") can drive up the price. Finding an affordable apartment close to public transportation may require some effort and a little luck. Newton Centre with its mix of coffee shops, ice cream parlors, eateries, banks, and boutiques is a good starting point in any apartment search. This area is popular with Boston College undergraduates and law students as well as young working professionals. Grocery stores in the area include Whole Foods Market at the intersection of Beacon and Walnut Streets and Star Market on Boylston Street/Route 9 in Chestnut Hill. The Chestnut Hill Mall and Atrium Mall offer the finest in upscale shopping and are located on Route 9, approximately a half mile from Newton Centre.
Although Newton is only 20 minutes away by car and 45 minutes via the Green Line, the area's suburban location can feel far removed from the BU campus. Access to Waban, Newton Highlands, Newton Centre, and Chestnut Hill is via the Green "D" Line heading outbound to Riverside. To access Auburndale, West Newton, or Newtonville, catch the MBTA commuter rail leaving either from Back Bay station near Copley or Yawkey Way, a short walk from Kenmore Square. Although the quality and price of rental housing in Newton can be superior to property closer to the BU campus, some units are not accessible by public transportation, so a car may be necessary. On-street parking is prohibited during the winter months (November – April). Because vehicles left overnight during the winter months are subject to towing, renters need to arrange for off-street parking and budget accordingly.
North End
The North End, Boston's "Little Italy," is a close-knit community famous for its restaurants, bakeries, and small cafes. On any given weekend night, tourists and locals alike flock to Hanover Street in search of the best cappuccino (Caffe Vittoria) and tastiest cannolis (Mike's Pastry). This densely populated neighborhood is located only 5 minutes from Quincy Market and 2 minutes from the waterfront. Parking is extraordinarily difficult to find on the North End's narrow streets so taking public transportation is highly recommended. From the North End, take the Orange Line from Haymarket to Massachusetts Avenue, and then take the #1 or CT1 bus to the BUMC. To reach the Charles River Campus, take a Green Line "B" train at Government Center heading outbound. Finding affordable housing in this vibrant community can be exceptionally difficult as most rental units are small and expensive.
Quincy, a small city just south of Boston, has a lot to offer for those students, faculty, and staff who want to escape the hassles of urban living. Divided into four sections – North Quincy, Wollaston, Quincy Center, and West Quincy – this area offers a variety of housing options from high-rise complexes to houses, duplexes, and triple-deckers. Quincy is considered a safe area, somewhat quieter than Boston, with a strong community atmosphere. This suburb is made up largely of Irish-Catholic working-class families as well as a growing Asian population. With its ocean views, the waterfront is a good spot for running, walking, rollerblading, or just relaxing. The Red Line, with four stops in Quincy, runs direct to the Andrew stop near the BUMC and takes about 20-30 minutes. By car, take the Southeast Expressway (I-93) to the Andrew Square exit. On-street parking is free and easier to find than in Boston. To access the Charles River Campus, take the Red Line to Park Street, then change to a Green Line "B" train going outbound.
Once home to Malcolm X, Donna Summer, and Boston University alum Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., this historic community offers a diverse mix of young families and working professionals. Founded in 1630, Roxbury features a variety of housing options from Greek Revival homes to multifamily units and apartments. Roxbury also boasts a vibrant arts scene. It is home for the Museum of the National Center of Afro-American Artists and host of year-round cultural activities, including Roxbury Open Studios, the Caribbean Carnival, jazz festivals, and a speaker series sponsored by the Roxbury Historical Society.
Accessible via the MBTA Orange Line, Silver Line, and the number 1, 8, 15, 22, 28, 47, and 66 buses, Roxbury is a short ride from Boston University's Medical Campus (BUMC), downtown Boston, Brookline, and Cambridge. While on-street parking throughout much of Boston is hard to come by, few resident parking restrictions apply in Roxbury. Cyclists will appreciate bike trails on the Southwest Corridor and Melnea Cass Boulevard, as well as the community's growing network of bike lanes across the neighborhood to Franklin Park and other links in the Emerald Necklace.
For coffee and conversation, head to Haley House Bakery Café at 12 Dade Street. Eddie's Restaurant in Dudley Square and Millennium Restaurant & Grill in Egleston Square feature Dominican fare and are local favorites. And for the best in live jazz, check out Darryl's Corner Bar and Kitchen on Columbus Ave. and the immensely popular Wally's Café at 427 Massachusetts Ave. For more information, visit the Bay State Banner (www.baystatebanner.com), a weekly newspaper, Discover Roxbury (www.discoverroxbury.org), an organization dedicated to promoting civic engagement and the community's cultural, historic, and social life, and Roxbury's community-based radio station, TOUCH 106.1 FM (www.touchfm.org).
South Boston
Host of Boston's annual St. Patrick's Day parade and home to the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA), "Southie" is the city's most Irish neighborhood. Residents in this largely working-class, seaside community enjoy close proximity to the beach with an easy commute to downtown Boston. Carson Beach, a 22-acre park, is a popular destination for sunbathing, picnics, fishing, and enjoying the ocean view. Broadway, the heart of South Boston, and Andrew Square are both accessible via the Red Line. Southie offers a variety of accommodations from brownstones to multi-family homes and open-air lofts. Though prices are rising, rents tend to be less expensive than many other locations in greater Boston.
Watertown is a middle-class community with a large number of single- and two-family homes, as well as apartment complexes. Commuting by public transportation may require several bus changes on routes with limited service. Finding on-street parking is typically not a problem.

For thousands of years, man has sailed into battle, sailed for rumored wealth, and sailed for pure adventure.

Buckley Jr. - Ann Davison - Sterling Hayden - Ernest Shackleton - Tristan Jones - Samuel Eliot Morrison - Joshua Slocum - E. B. White - C. S.

This post comes from Leonie Cash, librarian at the Museum Victoria library.
Finally, something Sydney and Melbourne agree upon! Both Museum Victoria and the Australian Museum were avid collectors of books in the mid-19th century.

Matthew Stephens, reference librarian at the beautiful Caroline Simpson Library & Research Collection at the Historic Houses Trust of NSW, recently spent time examining MV's archives and rare books. As part of his PhD research on the growth of book collecting from 1850 to the late 1880s. Matthew was keen to compare his findings from the Australian Museum with evidence of the early book collections at Museum Victoria. His research here confirmed the richness of the scientific book collections nurtured in Sydney and Melbourne at that time.

Utah Jazz not happy about late calls against them
SALT LAKE CITY – Mo Williams smiled, looked down briefly, sighed and let the question hang in the air.
He had been asked about a key foul called on him late in Utah's 105-104 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. He obviously didn't want to answer for fear of losing some money from the NBA front office. When the question was rephrased a couple of minutes later, his answer was the same.
However coach Tyrone Corbin wasn't afraid to talk about Dick Bavetta's foul call on Chauncey Billups' 3-point shot with 1:14 left that allowed the Clippers to tie the score. Williams was whistled for the foul as he went by Billups with what appeared to be minimal contact, although Billups made it look a lot worse.
"Big call,'' Corbin said. "The referee saw it a different way, but I thought we did everything we could to challenge the shot and it gave them three shots.''
Corbin continued, "I thought it may have been an offensive foul because one of the points of emphasis (for officials) is you can't flail your arms and legs out. Mo did a good job of challenging the shot. I thought he tried to get to the side of it.''
There was a lot of time left after that, but it was the last time the Jazz led in a game they appeared to have in the bag for three-and-a-half quarters.
Al Jefferson had a similar response to Williams when he was asked about the lack of free throws for the Jazz big men – just five for the game and a big zero for Big Al.
"Don't get me in trouble, man'' he said. When someone said his lack of free throws had happened before, he said "I'm pretty sure it's not going to be the last.''
Again, Corbin talked about the fact that the Clippers took 24 free throws, making 17, compared to the Jazz's 11 of 15.
"That's the thing, we're doing everything we can to get (to the line) tonight,'' Corbin said. "We're an attack-inside team first and for whatever reason other teams seem to get more free throws than we do.''
There were a couple of other late calls that had the Jazz shaking their heads, such as a loose-ball foul on DeMarre Carroll when he and Paul Millsap were battling for a loose ball with Blake Griffin with a little more than three minutes left.
"Me, Paul and Blake were just scrambling for the ball,'' Carroll said. "He just happened to fall and they called a foul on me, but you know, you've got to respect the call. You've got to respect the game. It was just three competitors going for the ball and I got called for the foul.''
In the end, the Jazz had no one to blame but themselves for blowing a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter.
"It was just some tough situations that didn't go our way,'' Williams said.

Writer, student, bohemian, activist, poet, traveler, artist. Thomas Merton wore many hats during his 53 years of life on this earth. He played many of these roles throughout his restless youth before finally discovering a faith that spoke to his inner most needs, transforming him into the figure we best know him as today: a Catholic Trappist Monk — a role he would flee from and return to again and again. As a monk and prolific writer, Merton managed to connect ideas from Buddhist meditation with Catholic reflection to create a deeper level of connection between self and God. Across several generations, Merton has been inspiring young spiritual seekers to follow his journey and explore his methods while…

Now, if there's one story that every good Christian knows (and plenty of bad Christians, too), it's the Christmas Story. (No, not the one with Ralphie and the BB gun. The other one with Jesus and the manger.) We all have pretty set ideas in our minds of what that story looks like, and it frequently involves images we've had stuck in there since childhood. You know the ones: the baby Jesus center stage, sleeping peacefully in the perfectly manicured manger, while Mary sits behind him, looking on dutifully with Joseph at her side. The wise men are kneeling in ladder sequence before the infant, while the shepherds are sitting docilely off to the side.
It's a beautiful tableau, but it's also pretty, well, dull.…

"What would Jesus do?" It is a reasonable question to ask in moments of our lives when we are in need of an example of the right thing to do.

Our preparations for Christmas often overwhelm us with occasions for waiting. We wait in line at stores. We wait for Christmas bonuses, travelling relatives, the mail carrier, the cookies in the oven to finish baking, and Santa. Waiting is not, however, a passive action. It's dynamic and transformative! This virtual retreat will help you reflect on ways to grow in faith, hope, and love while we wait for the coming of Christ this Advent. (Click here for a printable pdf of this retreat.)
Find a quiet, comfortable place to experience this retreat — at home, outside, or at a local place of worship. Sit in stillness for a few moments. Try to gently quiet your mind. Listen to the sound of your breath.
Wanting to be a parent is perhaps the greatest human desire. Yet, for those for whom conception does not come easy, their deep desire is met with even deeper pain. Grief of losing a baby or not yet being pregnant often resurfaces or may feel more intense during the holiday season.
Catholicism is a faith that embraces both rituals and a "God of surprises" — an institution which, though intricate in structure, strives to be open to the unexpected movements of the Holy Spirit.
One could argue that our entire lives are similarly dichotomous — a dance between routine and preparation, and spontaneity and all that comes without warning. Advent is especially so.
Mark's Gospel and the Second Sunday of Advent begin with Isaiah's description of John the Baptist as "my messenger … who will prepare your way, the voice of one crying in the wilderness: 'Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.'"
Preparing the way of the Lord requires an understanding…

Black Friday: The big shopping day that follows the big eating and giving thanks day (although those lines are blurred more each year). There is something admirable about avoiding the frenzy altogether, but let's be realistic. If you are going to venture out on Friday (or any other day of the Christmas shopping season), how do you avoid losing yourself in the consumer-driven, line-cutting, short-tempered mayhem? Here are a few tips for making it through the mall with your spirit intact:…
The recent news of parish closings and mergers in the Archdiocese of New York, one of the United States' largest Catholic populations, reminds me of when I was facing the same closed doors.
During the "finale" of masses at my parish, St. James & St. Gerard's in the Diocese of Buffalo, I remember sitting in the pew, watching the altar get blurry as tears were forming in my eyes. Even with the painful knowledge that the doors of my spiritual home were closing, in my memories there is a distinct sense of being surrounded by goodness.
I was encircled by a great community of people, and we all had history together. We felt like one body in Christ. The woman who said, "Peace be with you," was a woman who sang in…
One evening, at the end of the day, chores done, chicken curry eaten, and dog walked, my husband and I sat together in the living room. It appeared to be a calm space where we would talk about nothing more significant than whether we should watch the next episode of Sherlock…, our favorite BBC series. But then, I opened my mouth.
At the same time I opened my mouth, feelings rushed in behind the words. I was feeling overwhelmed by the sheer nastiness and mayhem in the world: Iraqi children fleeing their villages, the destruction in Gaza, the beheading of journalists and humanitarian workers by ISIS, climate change, and countless other stories, which I strove to avoid but somehow could not. I'd already gone upstairs
Find a comfortable space where you can relax.
Sit comfortably.

It's easy to take things for granted, especially some things like a job (that you HAVE TO GO TO each day), or a family (that you ARE CONSTANTLY surrounded by), or even friends (that you HAVE KNOWN FOREVER), or anything similar. It's easy to forget why we are lucky for just about anything in our lives. That's why it's good to count our blessings, be thankful and show gratitude.

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
y 30, 1939- A. D. SABORSKY GLASS WOOL PACKING Filed March 13, 1937 INVENTOR A. .U. 5ab01 5k57.
Patented May 30, 1939 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE GLASS WOOL PACKING Application March 13, 1937, Serial No. 130,687
4 Claims.
The present invention relates to a novel mode of packing glass wool into an insulating panel to utilize most advantageously the elasticity of the pack, to the end that the insulation will not settle or produce voids at the top of the insulation panel, particularly when the panel is subjected to jolting, vibration or jarring movements.
I have found that an insulating bat, built up in a conventional manner as, for example, that disclosed and described in the British patent to Slayter and Thomas, applied for by Triggs, Patent No, 428,720, in which the long, fine fibers may be forcefully blown by the attenuating blast against a reticulated beltand caused to build up into a mat formation thereon; such a bat is highly elastic in the direction of the thickness of the bat, but is relatively inelastic in the direction of the plane of the belt upon which the fibers are formed. For example, if a bat is compressed in the direction of the thickness of the bat and then released, the bat will immediately spring up to substantially its original thickness. Such bats may actually be compressed to about one-half or even one-fifth of their original thickness and when released they will spring up to their normal original size. Moreover, upon jolting or vibrating such a bat, particularly after it has been compressed, t will continue to expand and grow in the direction of the thickness of the bat.
On the other hand, if the bat is compressed in a direction lying in the plane of the belt upon which the mat was formed, the bat will be very slow to reestablish its original thickness, and, as a matter of fact, the bat will tend to remain deformed.
Heretofore it has been customary to insert mineral wool bats into various panels lying both vertically and horizontally, these panels having relatively large surface areas compared to the thickness of the bat. In the prior art, however, it has been conventional to insert these bats so that the principal plane of the bat was laid parallel to the insulating panel. When vertical panels, which were thus filled, were subjected to vibration and jolting, there was a tendency for the bat in certain applications to be compressed gradually and deformed permanently and to set tie down away from the upper wall or roof of the panel. In such cases the load on the bat was in the direction of the principal plane of the bat, or parallel to the plane of the belt on which the mat had been formed. As a result the vibration caused a void to exist in the upper portion of the panel, which resulted in a serious reduction in the insulating value of the bat.
The present invention contemplates utilizing the inherent springiness of a bat when in use as insulating material in a panel, particularly one which is subjected to frequent jolting and jarring such as automobile panels, trucks, railroad cars, refrigerator panels, bottle coolers, dry ice boxes, or the like. Instead of packing the bats with their largest plane or major surface coincident with the plane of the panel as was done heretofore, I propose to pack the insulation in such a manner that the direction of maximum elasticity of the bat when packed in a vertically disposed panel, is in a vertical direction. Thus, as the panel is subjected to jolting or jarring, the insulation will have a strong tendency to expand and fill up the panel.
Other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following description taken in conjunction with the drawing, in which:
Fig. 1 is a diagrammatic elevatioual view, shown partly in section, of an apparatus capable of forming bats in accordance with the present invention;
Fig. 2 is a diagrammatic perspective view of a bat illustrating in a general way the inherent arrangement of the fibers composing the bat;
Fig, 3 is a perspective view of a plurality'of my bats built up in accordance with the present invention and arranged in a carton or container, part of which has been broken away to illustrate the elasticity and flexibility of a bat formedin accordance with the present invention;
Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional elevational view of a box comprising insulating panels which have been insulated in accordance with the present invention; and
Fig. 5 is a perspective view of a carton filled with wool in accordance with the invention.
Referring more particularly to Fig. l, a glass melting or refining tank I is provided with feeders l2 in the floor thereof adapted to eject a multiplicity of small streams of glass which are acted upon by blowers I3. The issuing streams of glass are enveloped in the downward blast of steam or other gas supplied by the blowers and are thereby continuously drawn out into fine fibers or filaments l4. Electrical current may be supplied to the feeders l2 to electrically heat the individual feeders.
Spaced below the individual feeders I! are vertically disposed spouts Hi. The steam blasts from the blowers are thus directed downwardly through the spouts l6, carrying with them the attenuated fibers I4. The spouts ii are preferably of streamlined formation, the walls of each spout being downwardly divergent and having their upper marginal portions l1 curved to provide a flared mouth. The spouts l6 are of the Venturi type, the shape and arrangement being such that a draft of air is induced from the drawing force of the steam blast so that a considerable volume of air is blown into and intermixed with the steam.
The lower ends of the spouts l6 open into an expansion hood or chamber l8 which is also of streamlined construction and forms an accumulating chamber in which the fibers from the sev eral spouts I 6 are laid upon a reticulated conveyor belt 20 to form a mat 2!. The blast is thus permitted to expand a predetermined degree, thereby gradually reducing its velocity and avoiding excess turbulence. The conveyor belt is supported on rollers 22 and continually advances carrying the mate 2| forward as it is formed. At the front end of the hood is a skirt 23 which overlies the mat 2! and tends to compact it to a predetermined degree as the mat emerges from the hood I8.
Arranged below the belt 20 and in register with the hood I8 is an exhaust chamber 25 which communicates with an exhaust outlet 26 for the steam and other gases emerging from the hood Hi. If it is desired, suction may be applied to the outlet 26.
Mounted at the back end of the hood l8 are one or more spray gun nozzles 30 which are aimed at that portion of the belt on which the mat 2| is being formed and adapted to spray a suitable coating material or lubricant on the fibers.
After the mat 2| has emerged from the forming hood l8, it may be cut into strips having widths substantially equal to the thickness of the vertical panel into which the insulation is to be installed. For this purpose chopping means are provided comprising a reciprocating knife blade 32 acting in conjunction with a chopping block 33. The belt 20 is led over the rolls 22 and under a roll 35 underneath the chopping block 33 to provide room for the chooping mechanism. The knife 32 may be actuated by any suitable means at predetermined periodic intervals, as one skilled in the art would readily understand.
In the formation of mats of this type, the
fibers l3 may be made long and fine, the actual length being of many inches, feet or even miles, in accordance with the conditions of operation. Moreover, the fibers may be of any desired fineness, ranging down from a few hundredths of an inch to less than .0001 inch, more or less, as desired. As the fibers descend in the hood l8 they are arrested upon the belt 20 where they are deposited in such a manner that they lie substantially parallel to the face of the belt. Thus as the mat is formed, the fibers criss-cross upon one another and build up to form a mat in which substantially all of the fibers are parallel or approximately parallel to the face of the mat. This is diagrammatically illustrated in Fig. 2 in which the elevational sections of the mat have been depicted to show fibers running parallel or substantially parallel to the horizontal surface thereof. As may be noted from the top surface of the mat, however, the fibers lie criss-cross with one another in all directions.
A mat of this character may be made to possess an extremely light density ranging from about one pound per cubic foot to about twelve pounds per cubic foot in accordance with the degree to which the mat has been compressed. Ordinarily, however, a mat of this type possesses a light density of about one and one-half to about six pounds per cubic foot.
As illustrated in Figs. 3 and 5, a plurality of individual strips 31 which have been chopped from the mat 2|, may be mounted on top of one another to build up a mat in a vertical direction. These may then be installed in a suitable carton or covering material or container 38 (see Fig. 3) or container 39 (see Fig. 5). These containers may be made of any suitable material such as cardboard, paper, cloth, sheet metal foil, tar paper, or the like, although an inexpensive construction is preferred.
A portion of the container 38 shown in Fig. 3 has been broken away to expose the strips 31 and illustrate the inherent characteristic of selfexpansion of the mat in the vertical direction or in the direction transverse to the plane of deposition of the fibers. Within obvious limits, the mat will continue to expand in the vertical direction as it is being jolted or jarred, and as a re sult the bat or strips 3! continually cause the carton 38 to be completely filled with fibrous material. In Fig. 5 a corrugated cardboard carton or similar container has been shown in which a stack of strips has been packed into position as shown with the bottom strips more densely packed than the ones above. A sealing tape 42 may be provided to close the container and seal it from the atmosphere. In installing these strips into a tall carton or container, it has been found advantageous to jolt the carton and thus permit the strips to fluff out and attain a maximum distribution throughout the carton. Any desirable number of strips 31 may be mounted upon one anotherto build up the mat to the required height. For example, when panels three feet high are to be filled, as many as twenty to twentyeight four inch bats may be laid on top of one another to make up the requisite height. This may give an average density of about four and one-half pounds.
The containers 38 or 39 having the enclosed strips 3'! may then be installed in a vertical panel such as a railroad car, icebox, refrigerator, bottle cooler, automobile panel, or the like. They may thus be installed between the inner and outer wall of a box similar to that shown in Fig. 4. In Fig. 4 a refrigerator box has been diagrammatically illustrated composed of the vertical insulating panels 40 into which my strips 31 are installedwith the fibers lying substantially horizontally. The installation is preferably done by means of jolting to assist in a uniformly progressively increasing density from top to bottom as caused by the increasing load of material above.
Horizontal floor panel 4| and cover M are also included and these have been filled with the bat material with the fibers lying in the conventional direction for horizontal panels, that is, with the fibers lying parallel to the face of the panel 4|. The strips 31 in the panel 40 may be covered with a suitable covering material such as corrugated board, paper, cloth or the like, as shown in Fig. 3 or Fig. 5, and I find it preferable to do so in order to facilitate handling of the bats when installing the same.
The vertical panels 40 being filled with fibrous material in which the fibers all lie substantially horizontally, will not settle nor fall away from the roof of the panel under vibration, jolting or jarring to which the panel may be subjected.
During the installation of the strips, the panel is preferably jolted to the end that the strips 31 may fluff out vertically to their normal thickness. It will be noted that the bottom strips are compressed to the highest density, owing to the weight of the strips above. The strip atthe top of the series, however, has the least density. The density of the insulation from top to bottom thus gradually increases in accordance with the weight of the-insulation above. The insulation at the top of the panel is generally around one and one-half to one and three-quarters pounds per cubic foot and for installations which are about thirty-six inches high, the density at the bottom may be aroundfour to six pounds per cubic foot, more or less in accordance with the type of fibers, the degree of compacting during installation and the like.
Modifications and variations may be resorted to which are within the scope and spirit of the present invention as defined in the appended claims.
- I claim:
1. In a vertically disposedinsulating panel having vertical side walls spaced apart from one another and having top and bottom members therefor, fibrous material composed of glass wool fibers substantially filling said insulating panel between said walls and extending between said top and bottom members, said fibrous material consisting of a vertical stack of individual strips of intermatted glass wool, all of the fibers in said strips lying substantially horizontally and crisscrossed with one another in open formation and having a compressibility and flexibility in the vertical direction.
2. In a vertically disposed insulating panel having vertical side walls spaced apart from one another and having top and bottom members Y therefor, fibrous material composed of glass wool fibers substantially filling said insulating panel between said walls and extending between said top and bottom members, said fibrous material consisting of a vertical stack of individual strips of intermatted glass wool, all of the fibers in said strips lying substantially horizontally and crisscrossed with one another in open formation and having a compressibility and flexibility in the vertical direction, and an envelope enclosing said fibrous material to facilitate installation thereof.
3. In a vertically disposed insulating panel having vertical side walls spaced apart and hav ing top and bottom members therefor, the vertical dimension of said panel being considerably greater than the distance between said walls, an insulating package in said insulating panel, said package comprising an envelope having major faces thereof spaced apart and laid parallel to the walls of said panel, and intermatted glass wool fibrous material composed of long, intermatted glass fibers substantially filling said envelope, all of said fibers lying substantially crisscrossed with one another and in. planes which are horizontal or approximately horizontal and perpendicular to said faces.
4. ha vertically disposed insulating panel having vertical side walls spaced apart from one another and having top and bottom members therefor, a body of fibrous material having a predetermined thickness and major face dimensions relatively large compared to said thickness disposed within said panel, said body comprising an intermatted mass of predominantly long and fine glass wool fibers arranged criss-cross with one another and all lying in planes approximating parallelim with horizontal planes, said body having considerable compressibility and elasticity in the vertical direction and having a tendency to fluff out inaaid direction under the action of joltingdarring or vibration.

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Dean at Black Diamond was extremely helpful in setting us up with this property. It worked great for two families! The house was well stocked with everything we needed and was very comfortable with 8 people. We were able to ski in/ski out thanks to a great snow the week we were there. The views were beautiful! Thanks Dean for all of your help! We would absolutely stay there again."Guest: John C. Date of Stay: March 2015 Review Submitted: April 18, 2015View listing
"I have stayed in Moonlight in different homes the past 3 years, this one was definitely the best so far. The owner is so accommodating which is reflected by his incredibly accommodating home. We had an excellent trip and experience, this place made all the difference. Incredible view from the hot tub, plenty of stacked wood for the fireplace. Great location. Thanks Russ."Guest: Jim A.

"I was anticipating that the pictures on the website over exaggerated the cabin, but I was wrong. The unit is a perfect size for 4-6 people (6 max, realistically) and is located in an unbelievable location on the mountain. Ski out access is 48 inches from the front door - literally the first step off the porch - and the views of the resort and the valley are amazing. Ski in requires a hike of about 100 feet if the snow cover is low, otherwise it appears that you could ski in if the mountain has a decent base. Kirsten and her team were very helpful and accommodating to our needs and recommended some great spots to visit around Big Sky. Went with 5 other guys for our annual ski week and the cabin was exactly what we were looking for - most definitely would book this same property again!"Guest: Fred Date of Stay: February 2015 Review Submitted: April 11, 2015View listing
"our stay in big sky was fantastic. the home we stayed in has been our 'home-away-from-home' for years and we always rent thru Saddle Ridge Rentals. the art work, furniture, well stocked house is as nice a place as we've ever stayed anywhere in the US. id recommend with high marks this amazing property. may you receive lots of powder and sunshine to make this experience even better!"Guest: corey b.
