BIDDEFORD – For more than a century, people of every age and description watched over the machinery and equipment that occupied the mills in downtown Biddeford as the factories produced products for New England and the rest of the world.
A small group of local ghost hunters feels that even though most of the machinery has been removed, and the mills now lay dormant day after day, there is still a strong and active presence found within the abandoned brick buildings.

Pete Lamontagne, James Lantagne, Molly Lovell-Keely (managing editor of the Courier) and her husband, Brian Keely, have been meeting for several months to discuss the activity each has felt in the buildings, as well as the work the group has done to document or debunk each encounter.

Plants vs. Zombies Set for the Summer Premiere


PopCap didn’t release any information about the sequel, but has launched another PvZ title for Facebook called Plants vs. Zombies Adventures:
Unlike the original, Adventures has players defending a motor home from waves of zombies, and the undead don’t just walk in a straight line this time. They can follow paths that turn and twist, like in other tower-defense titles. New plants like the Beet — which, uh, beats enemies — will help deal with these more complex attack patterns.
Plants vs. Zombies Adventures also has a town-building mechanic that has players upgrading various properties to earn new resources. This aspect of the game also reveals PopCap’s social and monetization strategy.

Anticipating the Dilemma of Remarkable Characters in 'Beauty of Decay' Film Saga


I tend to be attracted to characters who are up against a wall with very few alternatives. And the film then becomes an examination of how they cope with very few options. And that's, I guess, what interests me in terms of human behavior.
