Viewers who believed that the storyline proceeded too slowly in earlier seasons of The Walking Dead had little to complain about in season 8. This season delivered action and gunplay as the denizens of the Hilltop, the Kingdom, and the Scavengers finally confronted Negan and his Saviors in all out war.
The Production: 4/5
Season 8 of The Walking Dead is the live screen adaptation of the "All Out War" storyline from the comic book series written by Robert Kirkman. After suffering killings and other abuses at the hands of Negan(Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and his Saviors, Rick(Andrew Lincoln) and his survivors finally retaliate with assistance from the Hilltop which is now led by Maggie(Lauren Cohan), the Kingdom, and the Alexandrians. Chandler Riggs has a worthwhile storyline that plays out in his swan song playing Rick's son Carl.
Viewers who might have complained that there was not enough action in earlier seasons might feel vindication in season 8, although one might feel that it is hard sometimes to tell the players without a scorecard(which group is this again?). The season foreshadows a future in which Rick and Negan live in peaceful coexistence, but it is difficult to see how the dots will be connected, if ever, to make that future come to pass from the unlikely antecedents of the present. After Rick and Negan come into conflict during the events of this season, the same events lead into the finale which presents what is probably the final resolution of their conflict. The resolution of Carl's story plays out in a manner that resonates in interesting and unpredictable ways with his friends and family.

Disc 5

Video: 4.5/5
3D Rating: NA
Season 8 of The Walking Dead appears on Blu-Ray in 1080p in its original 1.78:1 aspect ratio. The series appears somewhat grainier on Blu-ray than it does on broadcast or streaming. Fine detail and contrast are also more defined than their appearance in HD broadcasts. The color scheme is deliberately muted as an artistic choice, and the Blu-ray discs present a seemingly accurate presentation of that choice.
Audio: 4.5/5
The English Dolby TrueHD 7.1 audio is excellent as on earlier seasons on Blu-ray. Directional audio is employed selectively but with good impact. The sound mix is an important and essential element of the suspenseful and dramatic mood of The Walking Dead. Dialogue is usually appropriately audible with few exceptions, and music selections are used well in the mix to establish drama and context.
Special Features: 2.5/5
Most of the special features are located on Disc 5. The only exceptions are the commentaries on Disc 1 with the following episodes:
"Monsters"(41:11) commentary by executive producer Scott Gimple and writer Matt Negrete
"Some Guy"(41:43) commentary by executive producer Scott Gimple and director Dan Liu
The remaining special features include a commentary on "Wrath" by executive producer Scott Gimple and writer Angela Kang, as well as the following featurettes:
Carl Grimes: Leaving a Legacy(8:47): Producers and cast members discuss the departure of Rick's son during this season and its effect on the narrative arc of the series.
In Memoriam(9:57): Featurette regarding the people and tigers(goodbye, Shiva!) that left the mortal coil during season 8.
The Price of War(10:34): Cast and producers talk about the moral conflicts separating and defining Rick, Negan, and King Ezekiel.
Overall: 4/5
Season 8 of The Walking Dead is an action filled season that provides some interesting conclusions for various people(and tigers). The video and audio presentations are up to the high standards of previous season releases. The special features are noticeably more limited than on earlier season sets, but what there is makes for worthwhile viewing. The Walking Dead Season 8 on Blu-ray is an excellent way to catch up or revisit the season before the premiere of season 9 scheduled for October 7, 2018.

The History of Western Precast
Our History
Western Precast Concrete Works opened in 1946 under the ownership of Robert L. Feuerstein. Mr. Feuerstein operated the company until his death in 1971. His wife, Mildred Feuerstein-Kramer, operated the company through the seventies and is currently the director of the corporation.
Mr. John Kramer managed the company from 1971 and today he holds the position of President. In the mid-eighties, the company incorporated under the name of Western Precast Concrete Inc. David Feuerstein holds the position of Vice-President and Leo Feuerstein now serves as Secretary-Treasurer.
Below are some historical photos of Western Precast Concrete. In the near future, we will be adding more photos and stories to the website.
The 1940s
To say that Western Precast Concrete started from humble beginnings is an understatement.

Red Sox RF Betts leaves game with left foot pain
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) Red Sox right fielder Mookie Betts has exited Boston's series opener at Texas because of left foot pain.
Betts appeared to get hurt when he went into a wall trying to field a leadoff triple by Delino DeShields in the bottom of the second inning Tuesday night. While Betts finished that inning in the field, Gorkys Hernandez took over in right in the third.
Betts had been scheduled to have a night off, but last year's AL MVP wanted to play with right-hander Eduardo Rodriguez for his 19th victory.
After both teams scored four runs in the first inning, Betts led off the second with his 29th homer.

Montreal specialist dispenses advice for preventing Lyme disease
The warmer weather entices many of us outside, and also brings with it some risks – like Lyme disease, which is on the rise in Quebec.
The bite of an infected tick requires your full attention: right now, the Monteregie area is the main source of infected ticks in our general region.
The problem will only intensify over the coming years, so the director of McGill's Center for Tropical Diseases says we best adapt now.
"There is no question that Lyme disease is worsening in the sense that it's becoming more common in Canada," Dr. Michael Libman explained.
To try and prevent a tick bite and a possible case of Lyme disease, Libman says to cover up as much as possible when hiking in hotspots.
"They don't necessarily bite where they land on you. They can land on your leg, then they can crawl up to some hidden place like your groin, under your shirt, your back," Libman explained.
Bug repellant, containing DEET – or diethyltoluamide – can also help.
Once at home, do a full body check, Libman says – and check twice. Ticks can be tiny – bites are usually painless and don't itch.
"The tick needs to be attached for about two days before Lyme is transmitted," he said. "So if you check and remove at the end of every day, you're safe."
Removing has to be done carefully – the tick buries its head in your body, so you need to remove it all using a tweezer.
But Libman says finding a tick doesn't mean you have to run to a doctor.
If, in a few days or a week after you've noticed the tick, you get a rash and aren't feeling well, Libman says to seek medical attention.
Lyme disease is treated with antibiotics – if left untreated, serious complications can develop, including heart, joint, and neurological problems.
"Even in those cases, most people can be completely cured without any long term effects," Libman added.
But doctors here are becoming concerned about a related issue developing in Quebec.
Even though Libman says lab testing here is generally excellent, people are seeking alternative diagnoses and treatments south of the border – in the United States – when they suspect they have Lyme disease.
"There are labs out there, mostly based in the U.S., which do testing which does not follow the scientific consensus," Libman explained.
"In my view, almost all of these tests are false positives. They're giving people who have an illness and have something wrong with them a false diagnosis, and can cause them to not be investigated for some other disease they may have," he added.
Lyme disease or not, this summer, a proper diagnosis may be critical.

Lake Mead - a view looking northwest toward Wheeler Ridge
Detailed Description
This view is looking northwest toward Wheeler Ridge along the Pierce Ferry Road (about 1 mile east along the unpaved section east of the intersection with the South Cover access road). Very steeply dipping strata of Paleozoic age crop out on the mountainside north of the road. Note the gently dipping strata on the right side of the image. These are alluvial fan deposits of Late Miocene age and are called "Rocks of the Grand Wash Trough". These ancient alluvial gravel deposits unconformably overlie the Paleozoic rocks (Beard and others, 2007). Mojave yucca (Yucca schidigera) are in the foreground (USDA, [2010f].

Most of the time, you want to reduce the amount of algae or eradicate it. On the other hand, it may be beneficial to promote algae growth in your fish tank as many aquarium fish thrive from eating this organism.
Allowing the growth of algae inside your fish tank is quite easy. But first, you should know that initially growing algae is best suited outside of the fish tank. Algae is eaten by some of the fish species and other marine animals, such as the Bristlenose Plecos, Siamese Algae Eater, Tropheus cichlids, some Malawi cichlids, Twig Cat Fish, Dwarf Otocinclus (aka Otos), Mollies, Barbs, Malaysian Trumpet Snail, Nerite Snails, Amano Shrimp and small goldfish. If you have one of these animals as a pet, you can save a lot from your weekly food bill by learning how to grow algae. So you can certainly learn a lot from this tutorial, keep on reading.
What You Will Need
When you already have an aquarium in existence, it is best to grow algae separately. Let the algae nourish inside another container and introduce the algae into your fish tank when it is finally time to mix it with the aquarium water. Here are the different tools and materials that you should need to grow algae in a home setting:
- 2 medium (500 ml) containers.
- Freshwater.
- Nutrient Solution (such as Walne brand).
- Thermometer.
- Fluorescent compact bulb.
- Aluminum foil.
- Water sample from pet shop.
Step By Step Instructions
1. Making A Growth Medium
Filling Water Into The Container
When using a container as a growth medium, be sure that it is totally clean and sterilized before putting water into it. After cleaning the container (flask), pour fresh water ( tap or spring water) into the container, you can boil your water if you suspect it is contaminated.
Supplementing Nutrients
Add Nutrient Solution to the water at the end, such as nitrates, silicates, and phosphates. Algae co-exist naturally with other aquatic life and they keep the ecosystem underwater in equilibrium. The lack of nutrients will the production of algae.
Additionally, micro-nutrients like vitamins and trace metals are also needed to produce algae inside your container. Adding a substantial amount of Nutrient Solution to the container will begin the process of producing these nutrients and vitamins. Nutrient Solution ( you can research other brands) is available at your pet store. Ask your veterinarian for the right amount of this solution to produce enough algae in your container. Cover the container with aluminum foil to allow air and carbon dioxide to circulate. Carbon dioxide also feeds algae.
Keep The Container Under Plenty Of Sunlight
Algae grow and thrive in high light levels. Place your container where there is plenty of sunlight as this will provide the energy the tiny organism need to thrive and reproduce. The ideal temperature for algae growth is 29 to 34C (84 to 93F). However, avoid excessive exposure to light during the day as this may mean higher temperature. Furthermore, at night time where sunlight is absent, you can leave your container near a fluorescent bulb or other heating unit to maintain the temperature, just like when incubating an egg. Monitor its temperature occasionally.
2. Introducing An Algae Sample
Choosing The Type Of Algae
The best type of algae you want to grow is the one that would be eaten by your fish. In this case, you can ask your pet dealer on what species of algae is conducive for your preferred fish species.
Gather An Algae Specimen
It is now time to add a specimen sample to your water. Again, the best source of this sample is from your dealer's aquarium where you purchase your fish. A good sample of 150 to 250ml is an adequate amount. Pour the specimen sample into your growth medium making sure the right amount of light is still available. Continue to maintain the right temperature and appropriate amount of sunlight and you may able to see algae growth within 4 days.
Adding Nutrients If Needed
As the algae absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and this benefits its growth. However, to sustain a good quality algae as fish food, add some nutrients to it by allowing a few drops of Nutrient Solution. As the algae grows, It will become compact inside the container and may appear green. Green algae is a good variety for your fish to eat.
Transferring Algae To Another Container
Full-blown algae you should be able to see in your container after 8-10 days. You can transfer a substantial amount to the medium-sized container you prepared previously. This will serve as a seed for your next growth medium for separate algae growth so that you have a continuous supply of algae to feed your fish continuously. You will not need to get a sample from your favorite pet store.
To be able to have a continuous supply of algae to feed your fish, just repeat the process we have described above, again and again. Meanwhile, you are now ready to pour your cultured algae into your fish tank where your fish are waiting.
Did you enjoy this tutorial on how to grow algae for your aquarium even if you are not a chemist? We hope you did, and you can learn to grow the duckweed here. Producing weekly food for your fish is truly easy and enjoyable. You can really save a lot on your food bill, and you could be able to enjoy the fruit of your labor. Also, you can provide them the much-needed nutrients from organic food. Share this article with your friends and other aquarists so that they may find a better alternative in keeping algae-eating pets healthy and happy.
With more than 15 years of experience in aquarium sector, i'm totally passionate about creating Aquarist Guide blogspot. I enjoy sharing all of my knowledge to help you guys effectively build your own tank. I believe that when you find the easiest way to raise your lovely fish successfully throughout my blog, you will definitely fall in love with fish keeping more than a popular hobby.

This post is part of the Insecure Writer's Support Group blog hop. The first Wednesday of every month is Insecure Writer's Support Group day. Post your thoughts on your own blog. Talk about your doubts and the fears you have conquered. Discuss your struggles and triumphs. Offer a word of encouragement for others who are struggling. The awesome co-hosts for the August 1 posting of the IWSG are Erika Beebe, Sandra Hoover, Susan Gourley, and Lee Lowery!
Hoo boy, this is my first post on the blog in WEEKS and I simply must apologize to my followers and readers. Offline life was wild in July. The good: I went on an AMAZING vacation to Iceland (which I will talk about in another blog post this week). The suck: my 'day job' has increased in hours, responsibilities, and the demand for my attention, so I've had a hard time being around on here even when I'm not on vacation. Real life bites, doesn't it? Except when it nibbles.
That's where my insecurity comes from this month, of course–all the outside demands for my attention means my writing, and certainly my blogging, is suffering. Some nights I literally come home from work, sleep, and go right back in the morning. In theory, this situation is only temporary due to various factors at work, but it leaves me no time or energy for writing right now. I can barely maintain my house and run errands let alone find time to be creative.
But, I'm going to try to fit it in, chaos be damned. Because I have fit it in, all my life, no matter what was happening. I've always MADE the time and I'm going to have to do that again until things get smoother. I just have to find the focus. Hey, at least I made it for the IWSG this month!
August 1 question – What pitfalls would you warn other writers to avoid on their publication journey?
One thing that took me a long time to realize is not to rush things. Though it hurts to admit, not everything you write is gold. Especially when you're a fairly new writer. In fact, you write a lot of crap that you think is brilliant but is really, well, crap. When I was younger I tended to think I was some kind of magician with words and was quick to send all my fine masterpieces off to publishers way ahead of them actually being ready for publication–and I received an ever-growing steaming pile of rejections as a result.
Writing and perfecting a work takes time–a lot of time, and a lot of patience. And even when you do shape and mold it carefully and get it all pretty and shiny, it might still be a dud and never get published. But if us writers are anything, it's gluttons for punishment. So try, try again!
Thank you to all my readers for sticking around during this time. I'm going to try to get more posts up this month!

Obviously, every company culture is different and sometimes what hiring managers think and say they want is exactly the opposite of what they really mean by fit. Do you find this to be the case in your recruiting experience? If so, what's the main cause of this discrepancy?

Glamping pods cater for Skye tourism boom
March 13 2018
Plans filed with Highland Council call for the inclusion of a 460sq/m 'hub' as well as a 50sq/m sauna with plunge pool, caravan park and 27 single room structures with parking off Struan Road to cater for the booming tourism sector on the Isle of Skye.
Nicknamed The Big Bothy the upmarket destination is the brainchild of Garton Jones Real Estate with the aim of cornering the market amongst both visitors and residents seeking a luxury experience on the outskirts of town.
The planned development would be sited opposite West Highland College.
Garton Jones previously delivered a boutique bunkhouse on Uig within the grounds of a former maternity hospital.

Please, not another development of these effing "glamping" pods - they are ugly as sin and are everywhere in the Highlands right now. I am sure there are much better local architects in the Highlands that could have done something nicer

Bit in the middle looks like its been lifted from a business park.....??!

Although the visuals are pretty decent, the whole bar / restaurant ensemble looks completely alien on the site. The scale is uncomfortable.

In isolation, the wing sections look good and responsive to the landscape, reminding me of Soutra Aisle....but its all gone seriously Pete Tong in the middle.
Posh glamping 'brainchild' (!?) unravels with the addition of a caravan park though.

Clicking through the 'Big Bothy' link to the application offers a chance to see the local council taking issues of privacy and anonymity a little too far.

Sixteen people were arrested in Belgium after a series of raids Sunday across Brussels, although a fugitive wanted in connection with the Paris attacks wasn't among them, Belgian federal prosecutors said.
The raids came as heavily armed troops and police deployed across Brussels and as the city prepared to remain under maximum threat level for a third day Monday after warnings of a Paris-style attack. The country's prime minister, Charles Michel, described the threats as "serious and imminent."
"I indicated yesterday that what we are concerned about an attack similar to the one that was carried out in Paris involving several individuals and maybe targeting attacks on several sites simultaneously," Michel said.
U.S. & World
Schools were to remain closed Monday, and public events and transportation were to be canceled.

There is a limit to number of times activation of Windows 7 can be made online automatically, even though the product key been used to activate Windows 7 is genuine and legally paid for. The online activation limit brings inconvenient to Windows users who love to reformat and reinstall Windows more than frequently, causing them to fall back to time consuming and cumbersome phone activation with many numbers crunching. Callers have to enter installation ID which consists of a total of 54 numbers in 9 groups of 6 numbers with phone's keypad, and then receive a confirmation ID made up of 48 numbers in 8 groups of 6 numbers to enter on Windows 7's activation wizard.
To avoid the dreadful phone activation, and possibly to avoid contacting Microsoft for the purpose of activation to protect privacy, there is undocumented way to preserve current Windows 7 activation status by backing up several software licensing related files with the product key, and then restore them on the reinstalled Windows 7 system.
Windows 7 system activated by restoring backed-up activation status works exactly the same with system that is activated online or by phone, but in offline mod without the need to connect to Microsoft's activation server or even Internet access.
Instead of having to manually copying the required system files and retrieving the product key, there is a software utility called 7Tokens Manager that automates the activation backup and restore procedure on Windows 7.
7Tokens Manager, developed by Josh Cell, makes a complete backup of Windows 7 activation, which can then be used to be restore in a new installation to achieve instant offline activation. No further activation step is required.
Features of 7Tokens Manager:
- Backup any type of activation license from retail, OEM or MAK distribution channels.
- Automatically backup digital certificate, product key (serial number), tokens dat and other other license files.
- Dynamic interface.
- Very lightweight and fast, though it may takes up to 5 minutes to restore activation due SLMgr.vbs working.
- Programmed with security features.
- Compatible with all editions of Windows 7, namely Windows 7 Starter, Windows 7 Home Basic, Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Enterprise (not support KMS activation though) and Windows 7 Ultimate).
Download 7Tokens Manager from MDL Forums.
7Tokens Manager supports activation done with product key of Retail, MAK, OEM:COA, OEM:NONSLP and OEM:SLP channels. OEM:SLP activation typically does not go through online activation, as it use System Locked Pre-activation (SLP) to gain activated status upon verifying matching BIOS SLIC, OEM cert and OEM:SLP product key. However, the 7Tokens Manager can still be used to backup the necessary license information just in case you want to clean install the computer without crapware that installed by the manufacturer. In this case, 7Tokens Manager can restore necessary activation-related files and CD key to gain back the original OEM activated status (only if you're on same edition of Windows 7).

Yesterday, we sent an official comment letter to the Boston Planning and Development Agency (BPDA) in support of an amendment to the citywide zoning code that would permit the creation of so-called "additional dwelling units" — separate units added onto to existing houses that allow for a gradual and incremental increase in housing density. Our full comments are included below.Read More
Tag: Roslindale Zoning
WalkUP Roslindale now supports 874-878 South Street, Up for Hearing at Zoning Board of Appeal Today (10/31/17)
Back in late August, WalkUP Roslindale reluctantly withheld its support for a proposed project at 874-878 South Street. Although we believe additional housing supply is badly needed around Boston and in Roslindale in particularly–one of our seven founding principles is to support mixed housing that promotes walkability–we are not an uncritical "YIMBY" group that will necessarily say "yes" to any development whatsoever, no matter its defects. The original design proposed for this development was sorely lacking, and we offered what we hoped would be constructive feedback to make this development a more positive contribution to the neighborhood.
Fortunately, the developer took several of our comments to heart and has now proposed a revised design which, while not perfect, is much improved. In view of these improvements, WalkUP now supports the proposed project's request for zoning relief, which will be heard today, October 31, 2017, at 9:30am at City Hall, Room 801. You can read the developer's response to our letter and see the revised design here.

Of YIMBYs and Widespread Nonconformity
The Boston Globe's editors got this one right: Obama's YIMBY Moment. The whole thing is worth reading, but one data point about the recently proposed downzoning of a swath of Cambridgeport really stands out:
…over the years some residents have persuaded the city to tighten zoning rules to the point that their own neighborhoods could never be rebuilt the same way. The Riverside area had previously been downzoned to the point that 59 percent of existing buildings break the rules, according to the city's Community Development Department; under the new restrictions, a full 80 percent of existing buildings would be nonconforming.
Got that? The proposed downzoning would have resulted in 80% of the existing built fabric in the neighborhood being rendered nonconforming — allowed to remain, but disfavored and not allowed to be expanded or built anew without zoning relief — in a sense, illegal. This is particularly striking because the proponents of the downzoning claimed that it was directed at preserving neighborhood character. The linked blog piece at "break the rules" calls out the illogic of this position fairly well:
The most specious of the petitioners' arguments, however, is the idea of preserving "character". They have happily actually defined what they mean: single family homes. But the slightest examination of the neighborhood dashes that idea to pieces. The area of the proposed change is a pleasing mix of styles, heights, types, ages and uses. Yes, there are a few single family homes, but there are also triple-deckers, brick apartment buildings, row houses, a complex belonging to the Cambridge Housing Authority, mixed-use buildings, schools, churches and parks. Hardly any two buildings are alike.
Making Riverside into an exclusive country club will only line the pockets of homeowners and prevent people from moving in and improving the neighborhood with their individual touches and styles. With its transit accessibility, walkability and a population already going car-free, Riverside is the perfect neighborhood for new, parking-free apartments and homes.
The "exclusive country club" phrasing is a bit hyperbolic. But there is certainly a disconnect at work — essentially, the downzoning's proponents are seeking to "preserve" their neighborhood by making it more illegal than it unfortunately already is. It would be tempting to be amused by what is being attempted in Cambridgeport if our neighborhood hadn't already done essentially the same thing to itself about a decade ago. Indeed, here's the relevant excerpt from my own comment on a now-dormant proposal for 14 units in a "Local Commercial" zoning subdistrict at Walter/South about 15 months ago:
An additional concern raised in opposition to the project was that the LC zoning from which so many variances would be required is part of a neighborhood-wide Roslindale strategic planning/rezoning effort that was completed in 2007. Accordingly, to paraphrase how the argument went, there should be no deviating from that zoning because it reflects the neighborhood's established preference, which was, it is said, to (1) preserve the existing density and character of this LC subdistrict and, more importantly, the surrounding 2F-5000 ("Two Family-5000 Square Feet") residential subdistrict, and (2) channel development like this project to the commercial district in Roslindale Square.
The Fundamental Disconnect of Our Current Zoning
Focusing first on the 2F-5000 residential subdistrict in which all of the Longfellow Area except the LC subdistrict has been zoned, it is critical to realize that "2F-5000" is itself a misnomer. When you look at the dimensional table for this subdistrict under Article 67 (the Roslindale Neighborhood Article), it's actually a minimum of 5000 square feet (SF) in lot size for the first dwelling unit, and then a further 3000 SF for the second unit. So, it's really a "1F-5000/2F-8000" zone. Now, consider for a moment that the most common lot size in the neighborhood is actually closer to 4500-4800 SF in area. For example, the lot for my single-family house is 4600 SF in area, and the lot sizes for the existing 2 families on my street are 4900 SF, 4340 SF, 5150 SF, and 4600 SF. In other words, the zoning that was adopted in 2007 means the majority of us are non-conforming at the most basic level.
This is not insignificant since any infill development (think of the scattered "double-lots," many of which don't meet the 5000 SF threshold) would have to meet this ill-fitting standard, and non-conformity applies also to additional dimensional aspects of the typical developed lot in the neighborhood, such as side yard widths (required to be 10 feet on both sides for detached structures – my house and every house on my block has at least one side yard that is narrower than 10 feet – most houses in the subdistrict do), rear yard setbacks, FAR, you pretty much name it. In addition, the parking requirement is 2 off-street spaces per unit throughout the entire Roslindale district (not just the 2F-5000 zone), with only limited exceptions right in Roslindale Square and for affordable units. I have a single space on my lot. Several of my neighbors have 1 space or no spaces at all. Overall, then, the zoning for our neighborhood, ostensibly meant to "preserve" us, actually treats us, with few exceptions, as legally not within the vision of what the neighborhood "should" be. In practice, this means that the existing zoning requires almost any change in the neighborhood's built environment to go through the zoning relief process.
An object lesson in exactly this issue was in fact given at Monday night's meeting. The first item on the agenda was a single-family home owner on Walter Street who was before LANA to seek support (or at least non-opposition) for his proposal to add a dormer to the upper story of his house to allow for a second full bathroom. He needed relief because the existing house, which appeared to be similar to almost every other house in the Longfellow Area, is non-conforming and the dormer would exacerbate that non-conformity. Thankfully for him, he appears to get along well enough with his immediate neighbors that this small change is not an issue. But the question has to be asked as to what kind of land use regulatory system would routinely require this level of process for such a small change?
The same mismatch of the current zoning with existing use and development, let alone what we might want, occurs in the LC subdistrict in which the South Street project is proposed to be located. The most obvious mismatch is the 0.5 FAR, with which I suspect none of the properties currently comply and which, if it were really to be complied with, represents a fundamentally dispersed, low-density suburban vision for this area. Furthermore, if the saving proposition of the rezoning was supposed to be that Roslindale Square was rezoned to accept more development, that didn't actually happen. The two projects that have been done – the 3-story commercial building that replaced the old abandoned gas station, and the substation/funeral home redevelopment – both required zoning relief in the form of variances. In other words, the zoning for the square was so good that it had to be varied from to do two projects that the community wanted. Should they also have been told that the zoning was relatively new and they would have to live with it?
To summarize, we have what amounts to "zoning by variance" and it has been quite effective at slowing the pace of change. That may have worked in a period when Boston's population was declining or remaining flat. It does not and cannot work when population is increasing, as it is today and appears poised to do for the foreseeable future. This is why the Mayor's housing plan is so important to support and why Imagine Boston 2030, the citywide planning process that is just now getting going, is to important. We can no longer afford to treat any part of Roslindale as totally off limits to change, as if there were a growth boundary around the square and that is it. The square is great, but it can be better for everyone, and it won't be better unless we welcome new neighbors within walking distance of its amenities.

STAR India & Aamir Khan experiment for the small screen
STAR India has joined hands with Aamir Khan to bring a show to television that they claim is unprecedented in nature and scale.
STAR India and actor Aamir Khan have joined forces to create a "revolutionary show that will inspire a billion imaginations". This marks Aamir Khan's television debut. The show will be produced by Aamir Khan Productions and is slated to be released anywhere in the first quarter of 2012. However, the show has already been taken to advertisers, and according to STAR India's COO Sanjay Gupta, the first set of feedback has been very positive.
Speaking to exchange4media, Gupta said, "Everyone is very excited and the prime reason is Aamir Khan. As an actor, he brings a different personality and his quest for excellence in doing anything is unique. All his recent ventures impact the country, and he brings the same quality to the show as well."
STAR at present did not even have a title to speak of, but both the channel and Aamir Khan claimed that the concept of the show was clear to them. "It is a very trade practice to label shows into chat show or talk show, reality show or format show, but that is not how the viewers consume television, and we are not categorising this show under any such label," said Uday Shankar, CEO, STAR India, in a press meet that took place on October 22, 2011.
But STAR India is putting scale behind the show and has decided that the show would be telecast simultaneously across all its general entertainment platforms, including the regional language channels and English channel. In all, the show would be seen on eight channels in relevantly dubbed languages.
There is no decision yet on the time slot, the scheduling or frequency of the show.
Gupta said, "We have done a lot of work in terms of thinking of what this show would be like. It has been a long journey in fact on this show, and one of the biggest challenges was getting the concept right, which we believe we have. If the concept turns to the way we are expecting it right now, it would be one of the most entertaining shows on television."
According to the channel, the show is about India and its stories, it will change lives, it will touch the heart of every Indian and it is a show that will inspire a billion imaginations. A company release quoted, "It is a journey that will connect with people across class and geography. The show will cover the length and breadth of the India and in over 65 countries around the world."
In a prepared statement, Aamir Khan said, "Over the last few years, I have often been approached with various television shows. But none of those that were offered to me really excited me. I work on excitement. What excites me about television is its power and reach, its enormous potential to connect with people. And this is what I want to use. I want it to be an enriching experience, for me and for my audience. This is not just a show for me, it's a journey. A journey of discovery, of change, of emotions, of human stories, which touch and inspire us. My dream is to impact lives, and who better than Star to help me achieve this. Star not only has the stature and the network to be the perfect platform for this show, but also has a great team of people, starting with Uday, whose involvement and contribution is very critical to the show."

Last week, in London, I got to attend the world premiere of Bohemian Rhapsody at Wembley Arena. Unlike most premieres, which are lucky to hold a thousand people, Wembley Arena is a huge building that normally hosts concerts. So for the world premiere of the Queen movie, 20th Century Fox filled the arena up with around seven thousand people and it was as interactive an experience as I've ever seen during the film's big moments. When Queen is in the studio coming up with the beginning of "We Will Rock You", the crowd was clapping and stomping with the band. Then, during the Live-Aid portion of the film, when the band is singing Radio Ga Ga, the crowd was clapping along. It was like being at a Queen concert and an experience I'll never forget.
However, the day before the world premiere, I got to talk with producer Graham King about his long journey binging the Queen story to the big screen. During the wide-ranging interview, King talked about when he first knew Rami Malek was going to be a great Freddie Mercury, the challenges of filming the Live Aid sequence, what it was like screening the movie for Brian May and Roger Taylor, how close they came to making the project with another filmmaker and script, Freddie and Mary's relationship, and so much more.
Finally, while the entire cast was great in Bohemian Rhapsody, Rami Malek's performance was on another level. No matter what review you read or who you talk to, everyone is raving about his amazing performance as Freddie Mercury. His work alone is reason to see the movie.
Scripted by Anthony McCarten (Darkest Hour), Bohemian Rhapsody follows the band Queen from their early days playing pubs to becoming one of the biggest rock bands on the planet. The film also stars Gwilym Lee, Joseph Mazzello, Lucy Boynton, Aidan Gillen, Tom Hollander, Ben Hardy, Allen Leech, and Aaron McCusker.
Check out what he had to say in the player above.
Graham King:
- After 10 years, what is it like to finally have the movie coming out?
- How challenging was it to find the story that finally ended up on screen?
- Did any other version of the film get close to being made during the development process?
- How the first time he screened the film for Brian May and Roger Taylor he just watched Brian to see his reaction.
- How long was the first cut of the film and did they have a longer version of the film?
- Deleted scenes talk.
- The challenges of filming the Live Aid sequence.
- When did he first realize Rami Malek was going to be the perfect Freddie Mercury?
- Freddie and Mary's relationship.
Here is the official synopsis for Bohemian Rhapsody:
Bohemian Rhapsody is a foot-stomping celebration of Queen, their music and their extraordinary lead singer Freddie Mercury. Freddie defied stereotypes and shattered convention to become one of the most beloved entertainers on the planet. The film traces the meteoric rise of the band through their iconic songs and revolutionary sound. They reach unparalleled success, but in an unexpected turn Freddie, surrounded by darker influences, shuns Queen in pursuit of his solo career. Having suffered greatly without the collaboration of Queen, Freddie manages to reunite with his bandmates just in time for Live Aid. While bravely facing a recent AIDS diagnosis, Freddie leads the band in one of the greatest performances in the history of rock music. Queen cements a legacy that continues to inspire outsiders, dreamers and music lovers to this day.

BROON, n., adj., adv. Sc. form of St.Eng. brown, with meanings not found in Mod.Eng. Where brown is illustrated the meaning is peculiar to Sc. This form also often disguises the Sc. pronunciation [brun]. Broon is also used as a v., with meanings as in Eng.
1. n.
(1) A brown horse (Abd.2, Ags.1, Fif.10, Lnl.1 1936).
Bnff.(D) 1927 E. S. Rae Hansel fae Hame 14:
Lowsed fae the lanely ploo owre gloamin' rigs, A pair o' dowf broons jogs the hameward wye.
(2) "Porter, ale" (Bnff.2, Abd.22 1936).

An' swig a pint o' stoutest brown To you an' yours. Lth. 1892 J. Lumsden Sheep-Head and Trotters 142:
"Nips," or caups of foaming broon, Rare barley broo!
(3) Comb.: whitet broon, whitey —, a kind of strong whitish thread, resembling lint yarn and sold in hanks (Abd.9, Ags.1 (whitey — ) 1936). Always used in pl. in Abd.

Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson have moved in together and went out together for home décor shopping. Also, they got new matching tattoos! Their social media accounts show that these two lovebirds are totally made for each other.
The 24-year-old, her fiancé, and a few of their friends got matching tattoos that read "H2GKMO." Wondering what this means? H2GKMO is an abbreviation for "honest to God, knock me out." Feel like you've read this phrase somewhere before? Grande has tweeted it once resulting in her fans using it ever since.
Along with getting new ink, the couple also went shopping for rugs in New York City. Grande posted stories on Instagram; one showing the tattoos, and the other of the couple on the lookout for rugs for their new apartment. The second video captioned "Adults" showed the Saturday Night Live star sticking his tongue out and lifting his shirt up to show his abs.
Both the celebrities have got matching ink on the same body part; their right hand. From the looks of it, Grande had been thinking about getting this tattoo etched onto her skin for a long time now. The Love Me Harder singer tweeted earlier this month, "I say 'honest to god knock me out' 300 times a day."
Some people are concerned about how fast-paced Grande's new relationship is. In a week of announcing that she is dating Pete, she got engaged to him. Then they moved in together and got matching ink. She also has a song coming up which is dedicated to Pete!
When a fan asked Grande on Twitter, "Girl, we know you love him, but are you dumb?" she responded with a brief "Nah." Then when another fan asked, "You really don't get a fuck, do you?" she responded saying, "Forreal. The truth is tea. I been the f*** through it and life's too short to be cryptic and shit about something as beautiful as this love I'm in. So Pete it is."
