Sherri ~ WOW!!! We just returned from our cruise! What a wonderful time we had!! Your COZUMELINSIDER.com bookings for our Dolphin snorkel adventure and Sea Trek were the highlight of the cruise. They were easy and saved us about half the cost of booking through the cruise line. We simply hopped into a cab and spent the day at the Park (we could have spent a week there.) They were even able to work us into the Sea Trek early. All the people were friendly, helpful and overall just treated us great. While we were standing around waiting a short little man came up and ask if we wanted a snorkel tour. I instantly remembered what you had said and looked at his name tag. It was Mario! His tour was fantastic! If you see him ask him if he remembers Señor Ed and his family (he never caught that my name was Ted, but thats okay!) I had a waterproof digital camera and he snapped lots of pictures of us. We had a wonderful time and much of it was thanks to you, your website and staff!
I know you probably get lots of pictures but I had to send you three. Look at the smiles on my boys faces. That says it all! Thank you so much for all your help and advice. We cant wait to return. Your website is the first place we will stop! I wish we could have met in person. We will next time!
T. Mahler Family ~ Howe ,TX
My husband and I lived in Cozumel for just over 6 months and completly LOVED it! We spent most of our time on the other side of the Island where it is just a completely different world. I highly recommend Cozumel to anyone travelling to the Mayan Riviera. I know so many people who go to Cancun, but have never been to Cozumel even though it is only about 40 minutes away! Take advantage of this beautiful Island!!!
A. McIntosh ~ Toronto, Canada
I must admit, booking our excursion through you and not the cruise ship was unsettling but once we got to your facility all of our doubts were gone. Your park and staff were first class, professional, friendly and even the dophins looked happy. Thank you for a truly once in a life time experience. Your quick response to my e-mails was also appreciated. I can assure you I will recommend your park to anyone that tells me they are going on a cruise. Thanks again.
Andressen Family ~ Belle Chasse, LA USA
Sherri and her staff did everything under the sun to help us get on one of their shore excursions. Phone calls and emails were promptly acknowledged and answered cheerfully and professionally. These are "home" folks; no need to worry about language or accents getting in the way of success. Book with confidence, and have fun!

Vanes is Eager To Face Demetrius Andrade For WBO Belt
By Rick Reeno
Undefeated Vanes Martirosyan (33-0-1, 21KOs) is ready and very willing to get in the ring with fellow unbeaten Demetrius Andrade (19-0, 13KOs) for the vacant WBO junior middleweight championship. The belt became vacant earlier today when champion Zaurbek Baysangurov (28-1, 20KOs) announced that he injured his back and was forced to withdraw from his scheduled defense against Andrade, which was set for July 6th in Kiev, Ukraine.
Shortly after Baysangurov's withdrawal, the World Boxing Organization announced that Andrade would have to face Vanes for the vacant championship. The winner of Vanes-Andrade will have to make their first defense against Baysangurov. Vanes returned this past Saturday night in Dallas and blasted out Ryan Davis in two rounds.
"I'm very happy that the WBO is giving me the shot. I can't wait, it's been a long time coming and I'm ready. I just can't wait. It's going to be a great fight. We are both Olympians and undefeated. It's going to be a big fight for all the fans. I want to say thank you to WBO for the opportunity. I'm ready for the fight and I'm 100% fit. I'm happy to be with [manager] Cameron [Dunkin] and Top Rank because they are the best," Vanes told BoxingScene.com.
yes, now it becomes interesting. hell of a lot better fight than one with baysangurov for andrade. it's now or never for vanes imo, let's see what he's got against this undefeated kid. boo boo is at the cusp of…Comment by anonymous2.0 on 06-18-2013

try to get a stable frequency for both, when u tune it u'll see the wave going more into a line... tune it to that.
Keys A+D control Batman's left thumb. Mouse left and right buttons control his right hand. Use these to align the frequency. The moving wave in the middle of the device should be shaking like crazy. Once you accomplish that, the device's screen will turn green and boom goes the switchbox.
Took me a couple of minutes to figure out too! I hope this helps you.
-.Thoronnar ~ Hammer of Justice.-
I am also stuck in the scene with Harely Quinn and have to rescue the gaurds. I tried dozen of times to hack the box but it doesn't seem to work. Is there a trick? Shall I wait till the count down starts? I kind of can't get how the sequencer functions, the previous hacking worked smoothly but this seem to be different.
member1982 7 years ago#5
frequency tuner is easy, just try to get a stable wave form from both vertical and horizontal... not entire a straightline but close to it.
Thanks for the tips. I tried them and it helped. Howevermy problem was I missed the main post in this scene:
[spoiler] there is sequence of electricity cut-off in which youcan go and rescue the gaurds:P [/spoiler]
I don't use a controller, but apparently the Cryptographic Sequencer is a lot more fun with a controller's analogue sticks, and the vibration gets stronger the closer you get.
I bought the XBOX controller after reading some nice reviews of it's usage for this game and I have to say it's been a great decision. And yes, the vibration goes nuts when you approach and reach the correct sequence, thus making the process a tad easier.
-.Thoronnar ~ Hammer of Justice.-
After years of resisting, I finally gave in and bought a black wireless 360 controller (I don't like white, and it's too hard to keep clean).
It had to happen sooner all later, with all the "Games for Windows" being released, and I got sick of using workarounds for my Rumblepad 2 (which didn't always work).
Although I really only use controllers when I have to, I can't wait to try it out on this game.
Games like Batman and Assassin's Creed etc, are designed and play better with one, although both play OK with a keyboard.

Skip to comments.Cindy Sheehan "Camp Casey Day 20"
Posted on 08/27/2005 11:48:53 AM PDT by stm
I finally figured out George Bush's NEW reason for staying in Iraq. This reason has also been co-opted by the Move America Forward and the poor mothers who would be honored if their sons were killed in George Bush's war for greed and power.
(Excerpt) Read more at huffingtonpost.com ...
She is feeling the heat. Keep it up.
This woman is dumber than a stump.
What a B*tch!
"If I truly was a media whore do you think I would like
maybe get myself fixed up a little bit before I went on?"
Quote and pic of Cindy Sheehan - August 24, 2005
Wrong, wrong, and wrong.
She's lost it. She's gone over the edge, Ms. Huffington. Perhaps some of her buddies will enter the fray to preserve and spin her desperate hysteria.
ANY sympathy I had for this woman is gone. She is truly whacked in the head, and was so even before her brave son's sacrifice.
You would think her "handlers" would edit this insanity before they post it for the world to see.
Someone please put a flashlight up to this ladies ear and see how much light comes out the other side.
Lets all hold our breath and wait for this moon bats' blog statements to be reported on in the MSM.....
If they have the BALLS to put a microphone in front of one of ours down there, I'd like that person to challenge them on this.
Testy testy. :)
She's folding like a house of cards now that she is being challenged. Ha...
And she has taken to calling everyone who does not agree with her "brainwashed." ROTFL.
True...quite true.
Personally, I think she's bombed on this stuff...
I used to think she lost her son before she lost her mind, then I wondered if she had lost her mind before she lost her son -- Now I just think she's nuts.
She encourages the other Gold Star Moms to think for themselves then proceeds to tell them what to think.
She is a mental midget, a tool for Jihad, and a waste of skin.
Say goodbye to whatever sympathetic understanding you may have once gotten from the American public, Cindy. You just blew it.
The brave soldiers who do the hard work are heros.
The fat, lazy, complacent whiners who aid our enemies are indescribable.
What planet are you from?
Saddam used WMD's on his own people and the Iranians and killed tens of thousands of them.
We did not install Saddam, he took over in a coup d'etat in the 1970's.
Make sure you put a barf alert on that title next time.
Planet Trolling for a Response. Get a good look; I have a feeling we won't see this guy around much.
Her agenda:
She only hears what she wants to hear. I wish some soldiers that knew her son would show up & tell her off.
Her 15 minutes of fame are almost over.
It's good to know that the liberal faith has found a genuine saint. Angela Davis, Madalyn Murray OHair, Jane Fonda and many others were all very good liberals but Mother Sheehan represents the faith and feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelings of the left like no other. Saint Mother Sheehan. Watch for the ACLU to sue to have her likeness and wisdom in every court room and government building.
>>>Her 15 minutes of fame are almost over.
That timer ran out months ago...
Welcome to FR. Please tell me that you are not "channelling" Casey too.
National Geographic's "Inside 911" should be MANDATORY viewing for ALL AMERICANS. I watched it last night. I thought that I hadn't "forgotten." I found out last night that I had. Everyone needs this little refresher course in why we are fighting the war on terror. Especially that maggot Sheehan and her Commie Maggot Express.
$%^%^$ #$@#%$ $##$%#$ What more can be said....
WHEN WILL YOU GET OUT OF CRAWFORD! We demand our headlines be returned to us! We want an EXACT time schedule for when you will leave Texas alone! We are NOT going to settle for your overly ambiguous "When Bush goes back to work, I'll leave Crawford" garbage! We want an exact timeframe for you pulling out of Crawford NOW!
We don't care if your "job" isn't finished, Cindy. In fact, we don't even know for sure you HAD any real reason to go to Crawford in the first place. You claim it is because Bush is insensitive and dishonest, but after you originally met with him, you said nothing of the sort. You are in Crawford because of a LIE, Cindy! When will you pull out???
Cindy Sheehan is a complete wacko. There is absolutely NO DOUBT about it!
Its Saddam's defense team, LOL, you know, Saddam and Sons were "contained", had no WMD capabilities, were lovely neighbors, and hated the Islamic cults.
And just wanted to get along!
In a rational world, one would think so.
But her handlers are professionals (Fenton Communications, which specializes in left-wing causes). So, why do you suppose they let her run on like this?
The answer is obvious: she is saying the things they want her to say. Fenton Communications is not there to help Cindy Sheehan achieve her objectives -- she's not paying for their support. Instead, their fee is being covered by the likes of MoveOn.org, True Majority, Code Pink, Crawford Peace House, etc.
And why would they be paying the freight for Cindy's celebrity? Because she is making money for them. What she is saying is opening the pocketbooks of the left-wing loonies and filling the coffers of the left-wing "non-profits".
Cindy Sheehan is the left's version of a suicide bomber, martyring herself in front of the network TV cameras, so that the barking moonbats might be fleeced. This whole operation is beyond cynical...
Narcissist, traitor, pawn, useful idiot.
Come on, tell us more about what your "professors" are teaching you about the evil US!
They should provide Internet for Saddam and let FR be his only permitted link. He is slippery, though, and a lawyer, so he might make some headway with a small minority.

1. The Catacombs were built and conceived of in the late 18th century. Mass graveyards around Paris were overflowing, and so the bones were exhumed and arranged in the existing subterranean tunnels of the city's ancient quarry.
Hulton Archive / Getty Images
2. There, you'll find the bones of some 6 million Parisians.
3. You can also find graffiti dating all the way back to the French Revolution.
4. A portion of the Catacombs is open to the public, however there are dozens of secret entrances around Paris.
5. There are miles and miles of tunnels, not all of which has been mapped — getting lost if you enter illegally is a given unless you're with an experienced guide.
6. During WWII, the Resistance used portions of the Catacombs as hideouts.
7. Ironically, the Nazis also created bunkers in this underground city of death.
8. In more recent years, the Catacombs have become host to secret, underground parties. "Cataphiles" will tell you that there was at least one concert down there in 1817.
flickr.com / Via online.wsj.com
9. There's a legend about a guy who got lost and died down there in 1793. Philibert Aspairt's body was found 11 years after his death and it's said he was actually close to an exit.
So get spooked, but be careful!

This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. application Ser. No. 12/197,166 filed on Aug. 22, 2008. This Application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/997,521 filed on Oct. 4, 2007, and U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/007,439 filed on Dec. 13, 2007, which applications are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties for all purposes.
The present invention relates generally to fire blocking and containment systems used in the construction of buildings and, more particularly, to fireblocks and fire blocking systems used to seal static and dynamic head-of-wall construction joints and gaps, as well as other mechanical, electrical, plumbing (MEP) penetrations commonly associated with wall construction and assemblies.
Metal framing assemblies used to construct commercial and residential buildings are common in the building construction arts. These metal framing assemblies are generally constructed from a plurality of metal framing members including studs, joists, trusses, and other metal posts and beams formed from sheet metal and frequently fabricated to have the same general cross-sectional dimensions as standard wood members used for similar purposes. Metal framing members are typically constructed by roll-forming 12 to 24 gauge galvanized sheet steel. Although many cross-sectional shapes are available, the primary shapes used in building construction are C-shaped studs and U-shaped tracks.
In the building construction trade, a head-of-wall joint (also sometimes referred to as a top-of-wall joint) refers to the linear junction or interface existing between a top section of a framing/wallboard wall assembly and the ceiling (where the ceiling may be a next-level floor or corrugated pan roof deck, for example). Head-of-wall joints often present a serious challenge in terms of reducing or preventing the spread of smoke and fire during a building fire. In this regard and in common practice, a wall to ceiling connection of many newly constructed buildings consists essentially of an inverted U-shaped elongated steel channel (or track) configured to receive steel studs between the legs of the shaped channel. A wallboard is generally attached to at least one side of the studs. The studs and wallboard are in many instances spaced apart from the ceiling a short gap distance in order to allow for ceiling deflections caused by seismic activity or moving overhead loads. Channel and stud assemblies that allow for ceiling deflections are commonly referred to as dynamic head-of-wall systems. Exemplary steel stud wall constructions may be found in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,854,096 and 4,805,364 both to Smolik, and U.S. Pat. No. 5,127,203 to Paquette. Exemplary dynamic head-of-wall systems having steel stud wall constructions may be found in U.S. Pat. No. 5,127,760 to Brady, and U.S. Pat. No. 6,748,705 to Orszulak et al.
In order to contain the spread of smoke and fire, a fire resistant material such as, for example, mineral wool is often times stuffed into the gaps between the ceiling and wallboard (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,913,788 to Herren). For example, mineral wool is often stuffed between a steel header track (e.g., an elongated U-shaped channel) and a corrugated steel roof deck (used in many types of steel and concrete building constructions); a fire resistant and generally elastomeric spray coating is then applied onto the exposed mineral wool to thereby form a fire resistant joint seal (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 7,240,905 to Stahl). In certain situations where the ceiling to wallboard gap is relatively small, a fire resistant and elastomeric caulk is commonly applied so as to fill any small gaps. In still another approach and as disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,471,805 and 5,755,066 both to Becker, a slidable noncombustible secondary wall member is fastened to an especially configured steel header track and immediately adjacent to the wallboard. In this configuration, the secondary wall member provides a fire barrier that is able to accommodate ceiling deflections. All of these approaches, however, are relatively labor intensive and thus expensive.
Intumescent materials have long been used to seal certain types of construction gaps such as, for example, conduit through-holes. In this regard, intumescent and fire barrier materials (often referred to as firestop materials or fire retardant materials) have been used to reduce or eliminate the passage of smoke and fire through openings between walls and floors and the openings caused by through-penetrations (i.e., an opening in a floor or wall which passes all the way through from one room to another) in buildings, such as the voids left by burning or melting cable insulation caused by a fire in a modern office building. Characteristics of fire barrier materials suitable for typical commercial fire protection use include flexibility prior to exposure to heat, the ability to insulate and/or expand, and the ability to harden in place upon exposure to fire (i.e., to char sufficiently to deter the passage of heat, smoke, flames, and/or gases). Although many such materials are available, the industry has long sought better and more effective uses of these materials and novel approaches for better fire protection, especially in the context of dynamic head-of-wall construction joints and gaps.
Thus, and although construction joints and gaps are generally sealed in some manner (e.g., mineral wool and/or elastomeric coatings; see also, U.S. Patent Application No. 2006/0137293 to Klein), there are relatively few products and methods available that effectively and efficiently seal head-of-wall construction joints and gaps (to thereby significantly enhance the ability of such joints and gaps to withstand smoke and fire penetration). In particular, there are very few products and methods available that address the needs for adequate fire protection and sealing of dynamic head-of-wall systems associated with steel stud wall constructions. Thus, there is still a need in the art for new and improved fireblock systems and fire retarding devices, including related wall assemblies and methods. The present invention fulfills these needs and provides for further related advantages.
In brief, the present invention in one embodiment is directed to a fire retardant head-of-wall assembly configured to seal a linear head-of-wall construction joint or gap when exposed to a heat source. The innovative fire retardant head-of-wall assembly comprises: (1) an elongated sheet-metal footer track; (2) an elongated sheet-metal header track confronting and vertically spaced apart from the footer track, the header track including a web integrally connected to a pair of spaced apart and downwardly extending sidewalls, the web having a top exterior web surface positioned adjacent to a ceiling and a bottom interior web surface, each sidewall having inner and outer sidewall surfaces, each sidewall having an upper sidewall portion adjacent to the web and a lower sidewall portion; (3) an elongated intumescent strip affixed lengthwise on at least one of the outer sidewall surfaces of the pair of sidewalls, the intumescent strip being positioned on the upper sidewall portion, the intumescent strip having an outer strip surface offset from the outer sidewall surface an intumescent strip offset distance; (4) a plurality of sheet-metal studs having upper and lower end portions, the studs being vertically positioned between the spaced apart and confronting footer and header tracks such that the lower end portions are received into the footer track and the upper end portions are received into the header track, each of the upper end portions of the plurality of studs being spaced apart from the bottom interior web surface of the header track a first gap distance that allows for ceiling deflections; and (5) wallboard attached to at least one side of the plurality of studs, the wallboard having a top linear end surface positioned apart from the ceiling a second gap distance that allows for ceiling deflections and defines the construction joint of gap, the wallboard having an elongated upper interior wallboard surface in contact with the outer strip surface of the elongated intumescent strip.
In another embodiment, the present invention is directed to a fire retardant head-of-wall assembly, comprising: (1) an elongated sheet-metal footer track; (2) an elongated sheet-metal header track confronting and vertically spaced apart from the footer track, the header track including a web integrally connected to a pair of spaced apart and downwardly extending sidewalls, each sidewall having inner and outer sidewall surfaces, each sidewall having an upper sidewall portion adjacent to the web and a lower sidewall portion separated from the upper sidewall portion by an outwardly protruding curved bend that runs lengthwise along the sidewall; (3) an elongated intumescent strip affixed lengthwise on at least one of the outer sidewall surfaces of the pair of sidewalls, the intumescent strip being positioned on the upper sidewall portion; (4) a plurality of sheet-metal studs having upper and lower end portions, the studs being vertically positioned between the spaced apart and confronting footer and header tracks such that the lower end portions are received into the footer track and the upper end portions are received into the header track; and (5) wallboard attached to at least one side of the plurality of studs, the wallboard having an elongated upper interior wallboard surface in contact with or proximate to the outer strip surface of the elongated intumescent strip.
In another embodiment, the present invention is directed to an elongated U-shaped sheet-metal track that includes (1) a web integrally connected to a pair of spaced apart and outwardly extending sidewalls, (2) a plurality of vertically aligned slots positioned along at least one of the sidewalls, and (3) at least one intumescent strip positioned along the sidewall having the plurality of vertically aligned slots and juxtaposed to the web.

As best shown in
The intumescent strip 34 is commercially available (e.g., 3M Company or The Rectorseal Corporation, U.S.A.) and preferably has an adhesive backing that allows it to be readily affixed onto the outer sidewall surface 30. Exemplary in this regard are the heat expandable compositions disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,207,085 to Ackerman (incorporated herein by reference), which discloses a composition that, when subjected to heat, expands to form a heat-insulating barrier. A preferred composition contains expandable graphite (˜10-40 wt %), a fire retardant (˜10-40 wt %), and an optional inorganic intumescent filler (<50 wt %), all of which are admixed together with a resinous emulsion (˜30-60 wt %). The expandable graphite is generally manufactured by the oxidation of graphite flake in sulfuric acid (with such intercalated graphite being swellable or expandable up to about 100 times of its original volume when heated at high temperature). The fire retardant generally includes amine/phosphorous containing salts such as, for example, amine salts of phosphoric acid or lower alkyl esters thereof. A preferred fire retardant is a C2-C8 alkyl diamine phosphate. Intumescent activation or expansion generally begins at about 392� F. In order to ensure that the intumescent strip 34 stays in place when exposed to heat, it has been found that a commercially available (e.g., 3M Company, U.S.A.) fire-retardant epoxy adhesive may preferably also be used. In other words, a fire-retardant adhesive (not shown) may be interposed between the intumescent strip 34 and the outer sidewall surfaces 30 of the pair of sidewalls 28. In some embodiments, the intumescent strip 34 may on its top surface include a protective foil tape or polymeric coating 35 to protect the underlying intumescent material from degradation that may occur due to wall cycling.
In a preferred embodiment, the elongated sheet-metal header track 16 (of the head-of-wall assembly 10) also comprises a plurality of vertically aligned slots 36 positioned at regular intervals along the pair of downwardly extending sidewalls 28. Each slot 36 has a preferred slot length D5 that is generally at least about two times greater than the first and second gap distances D1, D2, or preferably ranging from about � inch to about 6 inches (wherein each slot 36 may be partially covered by the intumescent strip 34). In this preferred embodiment, a plurality of fasteners 38 secure the upper end portions 20 of the plurality of studs 18 to the header track 16, with each fastener 38 extending through one of the slots 36 and preferably being positioned about midway along each respective slot length D3 as shown in
For purposes of illustration and not restriction, the following Example demonstrates various aspects and utility of the present invention.
Several mock-ups of a fire retardant head-of-wall assembly in accordance with the present invention were constructed and tested to evaluate the joint system's resistance to a heat source followed by a hose stream in accordance with Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.'s standards set forth in its Tests for Fire Resistance of Building Joint Systems—UL 2079. Each mock-up was constructed so as to have a ⅜ inch head-of-wall linear construction gap, and the construction gap was cycled over this distance (translating to a maximum of a � inch gap when the ceiling was upwardly deflected a maximum distance of ⅜ inch, and to a minimum of no gap when the ceiling was downwardly deflected a maximum distance of ⅜ inch) in order to demonstrate that the head-of-wall assembly was able to withstand (meaning without failure of any of the wall assembly components) various levels of cycling. More specifically, the several mock-ups successfully passed cycling Levels I, II, and III (with Level I=1 cycle/min for 500 cycles (thermal expansion/contraction), Level II=10 cycles/min for 500 cycles (wind sway forces), and Level III=30 cycles/min (seismic forces)). After the successful cycling demonstration, the linear construction gap of one of the mock-ups was opened to its � inch maximum and the whole mock-up was for a two hour period placed parallel and adjacent to an open oven heated to 1800� F. During this period no appreciable amounts of smoke or fire penetrated through the fire retardant head-of-wall assembly, and substantially all of the unexposed or far side wall materials (inclusive of the intumescent strip) remained intact and in place (meaning that the mock-up passed UL's "F-rating" for restricting fire passage). In addition, all of the unexposed or far side wall materials (inclusive of the intumescent strip) remained below 425� F. (meaning that the mock-up passed UL's "T-rating" for restricting thermal passage). Finally, and within about 5 minutes of being exposed to the open oven heat source, the exposed or near wall was subjected to a "hose stream" test (i.e., a 4 inch fire hose having a straight nozzle water stream at 30 psi for 30 seconds) and no direct water stream penetrated through the wall (meaning that the mock-up passed UL's "H-rating" for restricting hose stream passage). In view of the foregoing, the inventive fire retardant head-of-wall assembly has been certified as complaint with respect to Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.'s standards set forth in its Tests for Fire Resistance of Building Joint Systems—UL 2079.
While the present invention has been described in the context of the embodiments illustrated and described herein, the invention may be embodied in other specific ways or in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics. Therefore, the described embodiments are to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive. The scope of the invention is, therefore, indicated by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing descriptions, and all changes that come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are to be embraced within their scope.

Local Area:
Brunswick is a wonderful community. It's quite small and night life is limited, but it more than makes up for that with small town charm and a close knit community. The downtown is close to campus and has a good variety of wonderful restaurants. Shopping is fairly limited nearby, but Freeport and Portland are not too far away by car or train.
Local Area:
Brunswick has a very quintessential feel: is the cutest town with a huge array of restaurants and little places to shop. Also Freeport, Topsam, and Portland are not too faraway if you want a city feel or more shopping.
Local Area:
Brunswick is a charming small town adapted to fit around Bowdoin. Many town attractions are directly aimed at students.
Local Area:
Charming little Brunswick has plenty of resources and interesting things to do. Residents are supportive of Bowdoin and take advantage of our campus offerings regularly. Not really a college town.
Local Area:
Some good up and coming restaurants, plenty of shopping, some local attractions as well. Townies are generally kind to students and helpful. Very safe, I have never felt uncomfortable in Brunswick.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Brunswick has a New England feel with antique stores, boutiques, and restaurants dotting Maine Street, and the town is filled with tree-lined streets, open parks, bed and breakfasts, nice stores, eateries, and much more. Like much of New England, Brunswick boasts an amazing fall with the changing colors, cool refreshing temperatures, beautiful sunsets and sunrises, and an amazing sense of serenity. Maine also has many natural offerings for Bowdoin students. In warmer weather, swimming, surfing, hiking, and boating opportunities are easily accessible, and when winter arrives, students take advantage of skiing at Sunday River, Sugarloaf, and Saddleback Mountain.
Bowdoin's campus is adjacent to the downtown area and is close to hospitals, shopping, and the ocean. Students coming from larger cities comment that, at times, the town doesn't offer enough variety to complement their busy lifestyles, but the opposite can be quite true for students coming from more rural backgrounds. Whatever the case, Brunswick is consistently modernizing and encourages college students to engage in local shopping and activities. A number of amazing restaurants exist along Maine Street, and bigger stores are clustered together at Cook's Corner. Student-resident relations generally depend on which organizations students choose to join—programs like Bowdoin Book Buddies or the host family program foster positive relationships. However, interaction with the world outside of the Bowdoin Bubble can be nonexistent or even negative, like when residents call Security to complain about a house party getting too rambunctious. But, in general, Bowdoin does a lot to give back to the community, and on the whole, students have a healthy relationship with Brunswick and often take the five-minute walk downtown for a cup of coffee or a nice sandwich or to find a cozy study spot off campus.

I recently came here and found I could not log in, an internal error was coming up, then I noticed the security code part.
Then I noticed my Firefox is not showing the code or the box to type it in, and it is ONLY on this site and no other site.
Does anyone know what I can do about this, or is this me or not.
The problem is only on firefox and only on this site.
Thank you!

I'm using Firefox and it works fine. All I can think of is that you might have some add-on that is causing this. But you say it works fine on other sites, so I really can't say what it could be.

Former Eastern and Penn State star Adam Taliaferro talked to the Williamstown football team Wednesday morning.
His message: Seize the moment.
"You have a target on your back now," Taliaferro told the Williamstown players, the defending South Jersey Group 5 and West Jersey Football League American Division champions.
Williamstown was 12-0 and won the first South Jersey title in the history of the program last season. The Braves finished No. 1 in The Inquirer's South Jersey rankings.
Taliaferro told the Williamstown players of his own unique experience, how he was a star running back/defensive back at Eastern and suffered a broken neck as a true freshman at Penn State in September 2000.

"Why did you choose this product?"
We are using these jars to hold pantry and freezer goods. They are excellent for larger items because they have wide mouths (we can pack bagels in them for freezing, or salad greens in the fridge) and much better than plastic--less air transfer, and no concerns about estrogenic activity and/or BPA. They also hold our flour and rolled oats, and we can measure them right from the jars. The Le Parfait line seems better-designed than some other brands. For example, the baling wire is bent in such a way that it keeps the glass lid from hitting the side of the jar when it is opened. The attached lids cannot be lost. The glass seems thinner than our Bormioli Rocco jars, so the jars are lighter, but neither type of jar has broken in regular use....

Disappointing Quality
I was very excited about receiving these jars, and they came quickly and were well packaged. They came with all parts and nothing broken, however I cannot give this product more than one star because of the extremely poor quality of the jars. I am very surprised that LeParfait, would allow these jars to leave the factory with their name on it. I can only assume that these are factory seconds. There are black specks in the glass on two of the jars and glass crinkles on the lids of two others, and on another you can see a line down the side. Maybe I am just being picky, but for the price and brand name, I expected these glass jars to be perfect. I am very disappointed by all of the flaws and blemishes.Read More

Polish composer Wojciech Kilar, 81, dies
WARSAW, Poland -- Wojciech Kilar, a Polish pianist and composer of classical music and scores for many films, including Roman Polanski's Oscar-winning "The Pianist" and Francis Ford Coppola's "Bram Stoker's Dracula," died Sunday. He was 81.
The composer died in his hometown, Katowice, in southern Poland, after a long illness, said Jerzy Kornowicz, head of the Association of Polish Composers.
"The power and the message of his music, as well as the noble character of Wojciech Kilar as a person, will stay in my memory forever," Kornowicz said.
Polish film director Kazimierz Kutz said working with the composer "was pure pleasure. He would come, see my movie and a month later he would bring extremely good music that was always beyond my expectations."
Polish conductor Antoni Wit praised Kilar's generosity, saying he "liked to share whatever he had with others."
A modest man who often avoided public attention, Kilar's main love was composing symphonies and concertos, and he always put that above movies, even though he wrote the scores of dozens of films. He drew inspiration from Polish folk music and religious prayers and hymns, which he had learned in Latin as an altar boy.
But it was film music, especially for Coppola's 1992 horror movie, that brought him to the world's attention and commissions from other celebrity directors. Kilar once said the three criteria that made him write film music were, in this order: the name of the director, the salary and the script.
Kilar's dedication to composing primarily for the concert halls even led him to lose a commission to write the score for Peter Jackson's "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.
Kilar wrote music for more than 130 movies, but "Dracula" won him the Best Score Composer award from the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers in 1992.
In 2003, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts gave the composer an award for his score for "The Pianist." Kilar also wrote music for Polanski's "The Ninth Gate."
But in 2012, while receiving an honorary doctorate in Poland, he admitted that he never felt sure of the quality of the works he created until musicians and audiences gave their verdict.
In a 2007 interview with PLUS, a journal about Polish-American affairs, Kilar said he would like to be remembered as a "good human being, someone who brought a little happiness, hope and reflection into life and into the world and perhaps a bit of faith."

Construction for Arkansas River Art Project to Begin Next Fall
–Chad Love
You may recall a few weeks ago, the almost universal comment panning that Field Notes readers gave a proposed art project over the Arkansas River. Alas, there obviously were no Field Notes readers in the "deciders" division of the Bureau of Land Management, because the BLM just approved artist Christo Vladimirov Javacheff's plan to cover around six miles of water on the Arkansas River with sheets of fabric that look like water. Because it's…art.
From this story in the Pueblo (CO) Chieftain:
The U.S. Bureau of Land Management on Thursday released the final environmental impact statement for New York artist Christo's Over The River project, paving the way for the plan to proceed if final approval comes this fall. After 2 1/2 years of study, the approved form is much how Christo envisioned the grand-scale artwork. It will allow for the suspension of eight silvery, luminous fabric panel segments totaling 5.9 miles over portions of the Arkansas River between Salida and Canon City.

EPA to Use Fish Bones to Reduce Lead Contamination in Soil
–Chad Love
Lead-contaminated soil remains one of the nation's most prevalent and costly environmental problems, but researchers have found a novel, cheap and easy way to mitigate lead's toxicity using…fish bones?
From this story in the New York Times:
Alaskan pollock is usually the faux stand-in for crab meat or the main ingredient in fast-food fish sandwiches. But now the flaky fish is moving into a new realm — as part of the solution to one of the nation's longest-running toxic waste problems.
"…The principle is straightforward, said Victor R. Johnson, an engineer with Civil & Environmental Consultants Inc. "The fish bones are full of calcium phosphate," he said. "As they degrade, the phosphates migrate into the soil." The lead in the soil, deposited by car exhaust from the decades when gasoline contained lead or from lead-based paint residue, binds with the phosphate and transforms into pyromorphite, a crystalline mineral that will not harm anyone even if consumed.

From this story on readmedia.com:
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) has certified Dan Germain from Forestport, Oneida County, is the new holder of the state record for brook trout. Mr. Germain reeled in the record-breaking fish on June 15 while fishing at South Lake in Herkimer County in the southwest corner of the Adirondack Park. The new record brook trout, caught on a Lake Clear Wabbler and worm, measured 22 inches and weighed in at 5 pounds, 8 ounces, surpassing the previous state record set in 2009 by 3.5 ounces.

Maybe they have a bad owner, I don't know, but they still have players and fans and a franchise, all devastated by this loss of life. Plus, everybody who follows baseball is a fan of a guy like this. It's why I used the word tragedy, which other people throw around but I try to be careful with.
I'm at an age where I remember old incidents better than recent ones, but I have to go back to Herb Score for something as disturbing.
That was Dee Gordon's only HR this year. Wow.
Thank you PHIL.
Glad you avoided temps in the 100s.
I remember you mentioning Dewees needng plenty of work in th IF. How are his OF instincts?
Also, did see much of Satchel McElroy? Only Satchel I have heard about other than the "orignal" and one of Woody Allen's kids.
Hate to give the Mets credit, but they did everything right tonight in what had to be a very tough game for them to play. As Hollandsworth said on the Cubs post-game -- if you watched the game, you saw Mets players consoling Marlins players who were in tears during the game. Between that and the way Molina handled the Ross farewell -- maybe the Mets and Cardinal players aren't pure evil. Just the fans.

Dee Gordon lead-off home run. #AintEvenMad #BiggerThanBaseball 1-0 Miami.
7:25 PM - 26 Sep 2016
Amazing effort by Gordon -- truly remarkable.
Cubs get 100, KB gets 100, Hendricks gets below 2.00, Cards get absolutely destroyed by the Reds -- all good, other than some Rondon concern. Hopefully, he can get a few outings in this week and find his groove. Also, I guess Soler is still struggling with his right side. Hmmmm. Too bad Joe didn't let Addy bat with the bases loaded in the 7th -- great RBI opportunity.
I assume all the relievers are on a set schedule this week, but it seems strange Chapman pitched back-to-back.
Barry Rozner article interviewing Greg Maddux (with comments on Kyle Hendricks).
"I like watching him pitch," Maddux said of Hendricks. "I like guys that rely on movement and location. I can relate to him. That's what I had to do. "I'd rather watch him pitch than some lefty throwing 95 mph."
cubs win #100. neat.
Chapman in to stop the bleeding.
they're falling apart late in WAS...damn.
Wilson Ramos may be hurt badly. Carried off the field. Looks like the knee.
Hendricks 6 shutout innings, ends night with an ERA of 1.99
in case it hasn't been mentioned yet, Twins are hiring Indians 32-year old Derick Falvey from the Cleveland Native Americans organization.
