Case #2223 - ML 6-206 - MENDES, David/Thomas Avenue - Seeking a Variance to Article III, Section 307-12 to permit a single family dwelling to be built with less than 200' frontage on a Town road (50' right-of-way to Irene Drive)
Mr. LaPolice informed that Attorney Groff, the applicant's representative submitted a letter to the Board. He confirmed with the Board that they had reviewed Attorney Groff's letter and asked if there were any comments.
Mr. LaBonte said he was not present during the original hearing, but believed that he would have voted in favor of the Variance based on the facts of the case, the size of the parcel and what was being requested.
Mr. McNamara said in order to receive a Variance, criteria must be met, in part, based on the Newington case. He then cited the New Hampshire Supreme Court Case - Hill vs. Chester (of April 13, 2001), that had been decided after the Simplex case, which he felt was on point with the present application. He said the focus of the case was basically the creation of a self-imposed hardship. The court agreed that purchase with knowledge (of zoning), was a non-dispositive factor to be considered under the first prong of the hardship test. Mr. McNamara felt Mr. Mendes had knowledge of the zoning requirements and the lack of sufficient frontage of the parcel at the time of purchase, which was approximately six months prior to applying for the Variance. He said that the denial did not preclude Mr. Mendes from development of the parcel. He could still submit a subdivision with the Planning Board. Mr. McNamara noted that Attorney Groff wrote in his letter that in the past the Board granted similar Variances, which Mr. McNamara did not feel, of itself, was reason to grant a Variance. He said he would not vote yes because of past practice.
Mr. Hennessey said that the Board had discussed in what way the proposed would be a benefit to the Town, which Attorney Groff did not address further in his letter. He said the other question was the 300' driveway, which the Planning Board and Fire Chief consistently advocated against driveway lengths of that size. He noted that the driveway went into sensitive land. Mr. Hennessey said the driveway length and the sensitivity of the land made the application different from the cases sited in Attorney Groff's letter.
Mr. LaPolice said that there were certain past approvals that he felt would not meet the criteria quite as easy as the current application did. Mr. Gleason said that other applications did not have the acreage of the current application. He said that when Mr. Peter Zohdi (Herbert Associates) was asked why the applicant didn't put a road in and preclude the Variance, Mr. Zohdi said it might be put in at a later point in time. He said that he had voted no for a similar Variance (on Bush Hill Road). Mr. LaBonte felt that one home on twenty-nine acres was a benefit to the Town. He felt that having a Town road for one home would be excessive. Mr. McNamara said that per the testimony, the parcel would be subdivided at a later time.
Mr. LaPolice was confused by the criteria the Board voted on, and felt that if the discussion was followed through by the language Mr. Clay Mitchell (Interim Planning Director) provided, the applicant could possibly have met the criteria. He felt the case should be reheard, since the applicant was willing to accept the specific language in Mr. Mitchell's letter. Mr. Hennessey discussed the language contained in Mr. Mitchell's letter regarding no further subdivision until a roadway was constructed.
There was a brief discussion regarding the conditions in the original motion that was defeated, and the fact that the ballot vote did not contain any conditions.
Mr. Gleason concerns had not changed from the original hearing. Mr. McNamara did not believe that there was a new factual basis for the application. He felt that Attorney Groff raised a number of legal issues, but did not feel that there was any new evidence provided.
Mr. LaPolice reviewed the Board's previous decision to vote without stipulations. Mr. Hennessey said before the vote was taken he questioned if any stipulations should be added and the response from the previous Chair (Mr. Kosik) was to vote upon the straight Variance. Mr. LaPolice questioned if the Board had the obligation to provide the applicant with the opportunity to withdraw the application and add stipulations. Mr. McNamara said that Mr. Zohdi was knowledgeable and skilled with regard to the rules of zoning and planning and believed if he wanted to withdraw the application, he would have. Mr. LaPolice wanted to know if the Board might have made a mistake. Mr. Hennessey said that there was no new evidence provided. He noted that the applicant did not offer stipulations, but that they were recommendations contained in a letter from the Planning Director.
(Hennessey/McNamara) To deny the request for rehearing Case #2223.
(3 - 2 - 0) The motion carries. Mr. LaPolice and Mr. LaBonte voted no (they were in favor of rehearing the case).
Case#2226 - ML 1-10-12 - CORREA, Jennifer/13 Wilshire Lane - Seeking a Special Exception to Article XII, Section 307-74 to permit an accessory dwelling of 479 square feet of living area using existing unfinished space over garage. The footprint of the existing building would not be altered.
Mr. LaBonte read the list of abutters aloud. There were no persons who did not have their name read, or who had a problem with notification. Mr. LaBonte then read the corresponding Article aloud.
Ms. Jennifer Correa said there was an existing space above her garage since the occupancy permit was pulled in January, 2001. She said the space would be used as a home office for her husband. She then said that the secondary dwelling unit would consist of a bedroom, bathroom and kitchen as laid out on the plan.
Ms. Correa said her existing home had four bedrooms. She showed the Board an approved septic design plan for 6-bedrooms. She also showed the Board the house design for the existing structure, and the proposed accessory dwelling, which was 479SF. She said a live-in nanny would use the accessory dwelling unit until her mother retired and moved into the unit.
There was no public input.
Mr. LaPolice - Yes
Mr. McNamara - Yes
Mr. Gleason - Yes
Mr. LaBonte - Yes
Mr. Hennessey - Yes
(5 - 0 - 0) The motion carries.
Case #2227 - ML 3-67-1 - JONCAS, Steven & Mary Ellen/4 Tenney Road - Seeking a Special Exception to Article XII, Section 307-74 to permit an accessory dwelling over existing garage not to exceed the allowed 500 square feet of living area. The footprint of the existing building would not be altered.
Mr. LaBonte read the list of abutters aloud. There were no persons who did not have their name read, or who had a problem with notification. Mr. LaBonte read the corresponding Article aloud during the previous case.
Steven and Mary Ellen Joncas met with the Board and provided the proposed plan to the Board. It was noted that the applicant had submitted a plan in the past, but withdrew without prejudice. Mr. Joncas reviewed the plan with the Board. He said the area was located over his (24'x24') garage and the common wall would be behind the bathroom. He said they would construct a deck, which would be the entrance to the unit.
Mr. Gleason asked if the storage area was part of the existing dwelling. Mr. Joncas said yes. Mr. Gleason confirmed with Mr. Joncas that the accessory dwelling unit would comprise of a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and living room. Mr. Joncas answered yes.
Mr. Joncas said one bedroom would be removed and after completion of the accessory unit the house would have four bedrooms. Ms. Joncas provided the Board with an approved septic design that was rated for five and a half bedrooms. Mr. LaPolice gave the original septic design plan back to the applicant.
Mr. Joncas said there would be no additional curb cuts. He said they had adequate parking. He ended by saying, when completed, the unit would look as if it were incorporated as one to the house. He noted that he had previously received a Variance for building the accessory dwelling within the 30' setback.
There was no public input.
Mr. LaPolice - Yes
Mr. McNamara - Yes
Mr. Gleason - Yes
Mr. LaBonte - Yes
Mr. Hennessey - Yes
(5 - 0 - 0) The motion carries.
Case #2228 - ML 6-162 - GAGNON, Lorraine/off Hildreth Street - Seeking a Variance to Article V, Section 307-18 to permit residential use of land associated with single family homes situated primarily in Dracut, MA, but located partially in Pelham, together with residential accessory uses of such land, being a non-permitted use in the Industrial District
Mr. LaBonte read the list of abutters aloud. There were no persons who did not have their name read, or who had a problem with notification. Mr. LaBonte noted the corresponding Article was Table II.
Attorney Bernard Campbell of Beaumont - Campbell Professional Associates came before the Board representing the applicant. He said they were seeking a Variance for residential use in an industrial area. Attorney Campbell showed the Board the zoning map and the location of the parcel, which was behind the quarry in Dracut, MA. He also showed the Board a wetland flood map which highlighted the parcel. Attorney Campbell showed the Board the conceptual design that separated the parcel into three separate lots. He said the lots would be serviced by a road in Dracut, MA that would be extended to give the lots frontage. He said lot 1 would be approximately five acres, lot 2 would be approximately 27 acres and lot 3 would be approximately 14.5 acres which contained an existing home in Dracut, but out buildings (pool and pool house) in Pelham.
Item #1. There will be no decrease in the value of the surrounding properties: there are no surrounding properties to be diminished. There are no other houses in the area that would be impacted by the potential use.
Item #2. It is in the public interest: denial would be signaling that the Town wished to have industrial uses in the area which would require multiple wetland crossings and an extension of a road through what might be considered conservation area.
Item #3. Denial of the Variance would result in unnecessary hardship to the owner because:
a)The zoning restriction as applied to their property interferes with their reasonable use of the property, considering the unique setting of the property in its environment. - The current zoning is industrial and there was no feasible access for industrial use or for the vehicles associated with industrial use. To create industrial use would mandate access and public response from the Pelham side. He said that the application stipulated that the structures shown on the proposed plan would be sufficiently situated to have Dracut, MA addresses. He said the structures would require response from Dracut and any children would attend Dracut schools.
b) no fair and substantial relationship exists between the general purposes of the zoning ordinance and the specific restriction on the property: There are no other adjoining industrial uses that the residential use would conflict with.
c) The Variance would not injure the public or private rights of others: no property values would be diminished.
Item #4. There is substantial justice to be done: the use would allow the use of the property (with Dracut frontage) as residential, which Pelham would not have to service.
Item #5. This request is within the spirit of the zoning ordinance: he believed the Simplex test mirrored the criteria previously answered.
Attorney Campbell said that if the Variance were approved, they would meet with the Planning Board. He discussed the issue with Mr. Clay Mitchell, Interim Planning Director who said that he could apply a statute dealing with land owned in other jurisdictions. He said they were applying for a use Variance only.
Mr. Gleason asked if the applicant would have problems with the parcel bordering the state line and if they would need relief for setbacks. Attorney Campbell said that Mr. Mitchell believed he could apply the same principal in the statute and treat the parcel as unique. Mr. Gleason confirmed that the Board was being asked to grant a usage Variance and wanted to know if they were being asked to grant usage Variances for all three lots. Attorney Campbell said that the buildings on lot three had been in existence for twenty-five years. He informed that the parcel was one lot that had one map and lot number.
It was confirmed with Attorney Campbell that the lots would not have frontage in Pelham. Mr. Hennessey, after reviewing the length of the driveway, said he was concerned with the response time of emergency vehicles. He questioned if the servicing town should sign off that there were no public safety issues.
Mr. McNamara wanted to know if Dracut needed to accept the parcel. Attorney Campbell Pelham would not have to issue a permit if Dracut didn't accept the lots. Mr. McNamara confirmed with Attorney Campbell said that if a stipulation was added to the Variance that Dracut would service, and Dracut said no, they would have to come back before the Board.
Mr. Gleason asked if there would be further subdivision. Mr. Gagnon said that the land would be subdivided for his children, who would be building houses. Attorney Campbell said that the stipulation was that the proposed dwellings would need to be sufficiently in Dracut so that the residents would be considered voters in Dracut and attend Dracut schools. Mr. McNamara was concerned if the use Variance were granted that a situation might be created later on. Attorney Campbell said that the stipulation was that the structures built would be predominately in Dracut.
Mr. McNamara asked that the topography be explained. Mr. Gagnon pointed out what areas were wet and where the dry areas were located.
Mr. Gleason confirmed with Attorney Campbell that the parcel was currently one lot that had been grandfathered because the existing house was in place prior to the incorporation of the industrial zoning. He wanted to know if the applicant would need to come back before the Board if the houses were built completely in Dracut. Attorney Campbell said that they would need relief if they wanted to add a swimming pool, or a shed, or such. He said given the topography, some portion of the structures might need to be in Pelham. Mr. Gleason was concerned with further development if the Variance was granted. Mr. Gagnon questioned if a condition could be added that there would be no further development. Mr. Hennessey asked if the stipulation could be that there would be no further subdivision, other than what was presented on the plan. Attorney Campbell wanted to add to the stipulation, no further subdivision, other than what was presented on the plan, without returning to the Board. Mr. Hennessey also wanted it stipulated that Dracut would accept full public safety concerns. Attorney Campbell did not have a problem with the added stipulation.
Mr. LaPolice felt that the case described Simplex exactly. There was a discussion regarding how a lot becomes grandfathered.
Mr. McNamara asked why the proposed lot lines were drawn the way they were. Attorney Campbell said Mr. Gagnon's daughter did not want a large lot to maintain. It was noted that the Dracut Planning Board would need to review the driveway placement.
An inheritor of the Fox land (ML 40-006-159) had submitted a letter. The letter noted concern with obtaining access to the Fox land via the historic right-of-way (Hildreth Street). The inheritor submitted a survey map of the area. Attorney Campbell said the application did not effect the right-of-way. Mr. Gagnon said the inheritor had not used the parcel in at least twenty years. He placed a locked gate there years ago to stop vagrant children. He said if the inheritor would like to gain access, he would provide a key to the gate.
Mr. Hennessey asked if the land was currently being assessed as industrial. Mr. Gagnon answered yes. He said he had to put it in current use to have it reduced. Mr. Hennessey asked if a penalty tax would be paid because the land would come out of current use. Attorney Campbell said some would and noted the five-acre piece would need to come out. Mr. Hennessey said that the tax revenue would be essentially neutral.
Mr. Hennessey made a motion with stipulations of a deed restriction for no further subdivision and that Dracut, MA is to accept the public safety responsibility for structures on the plan. Mr. Gleason seconded. Attorney Campbell wanted to add that to the deed restriction that further subdivision would not be allowed without permission from the Board. Mr. Hennessey amended his motion. Mr. Gleason amended his second.
(Hennessey/Gleason) To grant the use Variance with the following stipulations: 1) deed restriction for no further subdivision of the properties beyond the three proposed lots, without permission from the Zoning Board of Adjustment of Pelham; 2) Dracut, MA accepts public safety responsibility for the structures to be built as per the plan.
(5 - 0 - 0) The motion carries.
A Ballot Vote was taken to grant the use Variance with the above noted stipulations.
Mr. LaPolice - Yes - with stipulations
Mr. McNamara - Yes - as amended
Mr. Gleason - Yes - subject to conditions
Mr. LaBonte - Yes
Mr. Hennessey - Yes - subject to two stipulations
(5 - 0 - 0) The motion carries.
There was a discussion regarding a possible non-public session regarding personnel issues. It was suggested that the Chair of the Planning Board address the Chair of the Board of Adjustment.
The motion was made and seconded to adjourn the meeting.
The meeting was adjourned at approximately 9:22 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Charity A.L. Willis
Recording Secretary

NY Mayor Bloomberg: Fix immigration to boost economy

'America is committing economic suicide by failing to confront the issue of immigration reform," says New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. And he's on a nationwide mission to force both presidential candidates to give specifics of how they will deal with the issue.
Bloomberg says that "opening the doors to all who want to come here and work" is a cost-free way to help the economy quickly, noting that immigration is "what built this country."
Mayor Bloomberg and Bill Daley, former White House chief of staff, were interviewed by NBC's Andrea Mitchell for an audience of Economic Club of Chicago members. The immigration reform topic was spurred by a new study from Partnership for a New American Economy (renewoureconomy.org), a bipartisan group of mayors and business leaders.
The study, "Open for Business," notes that "from local neighborhood shops to America's largest companies, immigrant business owners contribute more than $775 billion dollars in revenue to our annual Gross Domestic Product and employ one out of every 10 American workers at privately owned companies across the country."
Immigration reform has become a hotbed political issue, pitting conservatives who want to defend our borders against liberals who want a clear path to citizenship for those who have come illegally, but worked and contributed to our economy.
Caught in the middle of the stalemate are the 11 million illegal immigrants already here — and the many who want to come to America legally to make their fortune.
Both Bloomberg and Bill Daley are in agreement that immigrants bring energy and spirit to America's economy. "Every other growing country is encouraging immigration, paying people to come and open businesses," said Bloomberg, referring to the legal immigration policies of Canada. "Those immigrants don't come to go on welfare. They take risks and they work hard to make a better life for their children. . . . We can't keep [our prosperity] by keeping others from getting it."
Bloomberg is working hard to get both candidates to address the issue now — before the election — noting that both parties have a stake in resolving the issue. Business wants immigration reform because it needs to keep highly skilled workers. But Bloomberg also noted that crops are rotting in the ground for lack of a sensible migrant worker program. And universities are losing their best talent when immigrants get degrees but cannot get green cards to teach and do research here.
Resolving the issue of the current illegal immigrants will become even more of a political issue as large states, including Texas and Florida, are becoming minority majority states.
But Bloomberg says the media and the business community will have to push the issue to get politicians to address immigration, along with specifics on other important issues such as gun control, and education policy — along with specific plans for dealing with taxes and spending.
"We need one guy to break out and take the risk, and the others will follow," he said.
One bold Bloomberg idea: The three-term independent mayor of New York advised President Barack Obama to show some leadership by letting the Bush-era tax cuts expire for everyone, thus raising billions in new tax revenues. The president could then challenge the Republicans to do their part in coming to agreement on spending cuts.
Bloomberg noted that America's personal income tax rates are not so high, and that the reason business is stalled is the uncertainty over future tax-and-spend policies. Resolving that uncertainty would drive economic growth.
Though both Bloomberg and Daley represent different political constituencies, both are statesmen. And there was one area of seemingly complete agreement: America must end this political stalemate and come up with creative solutions to deal with its problems. That will take pressure from the media and the voters — and it will take a demonstration of leadership from the presidential candidates.

Facioscapulohumeral Disease
Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy
FSH Muscular Dystrophy
fa-cio-scap-u-lo-hum-er-al (fa-she-o-skap-y -lo-hum- -ral) adj.
relating to or affecting the muscles of the face, scapula, and arm (~muscular dystrophies)
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (Landouzy-Déjérine disease) is an inheritable muscle disease, commonly called FSH or FSHD. Progressive weakening and loss of skeletal muscle are its major effects. It has significant medical and health impacts on individuals, families and society.
What is FSHD?
FSHD is a common form of muscular dystrophy defined by a specific set of symptoms. Its major symptom is the progressive weakening and loss of skeletal muscles. The usual location of these weaknesses at onset is the origin of the name: face (facio), shoulder girdle (scapulo) and upper arms (humeral). Early weaknesses of the muscles of the eye (open and close) and mouth (smile, pucker, whistle) are distinctive for FSHD. These symptoms, in combination with weaknesses in the muscles that stabilize the scapulae (shoulder blades), are often the basis of the physician's diagnosis of FSHD.
Although the progression of FSHD is quite variable, it is usually relatively slow. Other skeletal muscles invariably weaken. Involvement of muscles of the foot, hip girdle and abdomen is common. With FSHD, most affected people develop unbalanced (side-to-side) weaknesses. The reason for this asymmetry is unknown.
In most cases, FSHD muscle involvement starts in the face and slowly progresses to the shoulder and upper-arm muscles and then down to the abdominal and foot-extensor muscles. Foot drop and foot weakness are early manifestations.
Initial signs of FSHD include difficulty reaching above the shoulder level, foot drop, scapular winging and facial weakness. Weakness in the abdominal muscles can cause a protuberant abdomen and lumbar lordosis. The lower abdominal muscles are usually weaker than the upper abdominal muscles. This distribution of weakness causes a positive Beevor's sign that is not seen in many other diseases and is a physical characteristic very specific to FSHD.
In more than half of FSHD cases, there are other symptoms including high-frequency hearing loss and/or abnormalities of blood vessels in the back of the eye. The vascular abnormalities in the back of the eye lead to visual problems in only about 1% of the cases. Since these abnormalities are not exclusive to FSHD, one must bear in mind that their presence alone, in an FSHD at-risk individual, is insufficient for a diagnosis of FSHD.
What causes FSHD?
By going from the large (muscle cells) to the small (DNA), one can partially understand the cause and origin of FSHD. DNA, short for deoxyribonucleic acid, is a long molecule found in the cells of our body. In association with some proteins, DNA makes up our chromosomes. It holds the genetic instructions for our hereditary traits. Discrete segments of DNA, called genes, determine specific traits. Taken together, the combination of approximately 24,000 genes makes each of us "an original."
A sudden structural change in DNA — a mutation — causes FSHD. The FSHD gene(s) is still unknown, but its approximate location is toward the end of the DNA of the long arm of chromosome 4. The specific genetic location of the FSHD deletion is 4q35 in the D4Z4 DNA region.
Researchers are investigating the molecular connection between this deletion and FSHD. The size of the deletion has a relationship to the severity of the disease -- patients with the fewest repeats (the largest deletion) typically have the most severe symptoms.. It is not yet certain whether the deleted DNA contains an active gene or changes the regulation or activity of a nearby FSHD gene (a position effect). DNA, RNA, and protein research is ongoing in this area.
Perhaps 2% of FSHD cases are not linked to the 4q35 deletion on chromosome 4. Their linkage to any other chromosome or genetic feature is under investigation.
How does a person inherit FSHD?
Most individuals with FSHD inherit the mutation from a parent with the disease. DNA is the means of transmission of inheritable traits from parent to child. Chromosomes are the vehicles for these DNA transfers from one generation to the next. Each chromosome contains a long, thread-like strand of DNA. Human cells usually contain 46 chromosomes, 23 from each parent. Children inherit one member of each of the 23 pairs of chromosomes from each parent. Forty-four of the chromosomes, also called autosomes, are homologous pairs (numbered 1 through 22), with each strand of the pair having the same size, order and arrangement with genes for the same traits in the same position on the chromosome. The remaining chromosome pair consists of the nonhomologous sex chromosomes X and Y. A mother donates an X chromosome, and a father donates either an X or Y chromosome. Therefore, males have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome, while females have two X chromosomes.
FSHD is the result of a DNA mutation on one member of the chromosome 4 pair. FSHD is highly penetrant. This means that when a person inherits a chromosome 4 with the FSHD mutation, there is a high probability that discernible muscle weaknesses will develop. Since weakness still occurs in the presence of the normal member of the chromosome 4 pair, the disease is considered dominant. FSHD is, therefore, a dominant inherited disease, meaning only one parent has to have the disease gene or deletion for his or her child to inherit FSHD. Since each parent donates only one member of each chromosome pair to a child, the probability of passing the disease to an offspring is 50%. However, 50% probability means that in a population of 1,000 people this will happen about 50% of the time. In an individual family this can happen 100%, 0%, or anything in between.
What are sporadic cases of FSHD?
Sporadic FSHD cases are those resulting from a new mutation. Studies report from 10% to as high as 33% of FSHD cases as sporadic (de novo mutation). Approximately 20% of reported sporadic cases are those inherited from a seemingly unaffected parent who is a "germline mosaic," meaning that only the mother's or father's germ cells (the egg or sperm) is affected. When a germline mosaic is involved, the parent appears unaffected but the children are at risk.
In the remaining 80% of sporadic cases, neither parent's genes are affected; a new spontaneous mutation results in a chromosome 4 deletion that causes FSHD. When the 4q35 deletion fragment appears in a sporadic FSHD case, it is transmitted in an autosomal dominant (only one parent needs to be affected) manner to succeeding generations. The probability, then, of passing the disease to an offspring is 50%.
How many people have FSHD?
It is difficult to calculate the exact incidence of FSHD. The most common form of FSHD is FSHD type 1A (chromosome 4-linked FSHD). A conservative estimate of incidence is 1 in 14,000 births throughout the world; however, due to increased experience with FSHD, population-based research and improved genetic testing, this estimate may be low; actual incidence may be 1 in 7,500.
FSHD type 1B (non-chromosome 4-linked FSHD) is much rarer than FSHD type 1A (chromosome 4-linked FSHD). There is no generally accepted estimate of its incidence, but incidence is unlikely to exceed 2% of all cases of FSHD.
Infantile FSHD (IFSHD) is characterized by onset in early childhood. There is no generally accepted estimate of its incidence, but it is rare.
FSHD occurs in all racial groups and with equal frequency in both sexes.
When do symptoms appear?
Although the FSHD gene is present at birth, weaknesses are generally not noticeable until the second decade. Sometimes muscle weaknesses are slight throughout adulthood. A physician can usually recognize and diagnose FSHD beyond the age of 20. However, it is important to realize that the onset of FSHD is variable.
In infantile FSHD (IFSHD), a young child or an infant develops symptoms. In IFSHD there are facial weaknesses during the first two years of life in addition to other typical muscle weaknesses of FSHD. Some of these children also experience early hearing losses and retinal abnormalities.
Early onset and infantile cases of FSHD often pose special challenges arising from severity of the symptoms and schooling issues. The FSH Society provides helpful information that includes contact with a network of families with similar concerns.
What is the prognosis of FSHD?
Predicting the course and outcome of the disease, i.e., the prognosis, has its clinical certainties and uncertainties. There is certainty that some skeletal muscles will weaken and waste throughout life and that this can, and often does, cause limitations on personal and occupational activities. FSHD appears not to diminish the intellect. The heart and internal (smooth) muscles seem spared and, with rare exceptions, those with FSHD have a normal life span.
There are uncertainties. The rapidity and extent of muscle loss differ considerably among FSHD patients — even among members of the same family. Some report few difficulties throughout life, while others need a wheelchair as walking becomes too difficult or impossible. The degree of severity in an FSHD parent cannot accurately predict the extent of disability that may develop in that parent's child.
Muscle and motion are an important part of the full expression of much of life. Often, there are losses difficult to define in clinical terms. Interactions with family, friends and associates may become limited. The accompanying losses often eclipse the clinical certainties and are an unspoken and significant part of the FSHD prognosis.
If a family member has FSHD, could I have the FSHD mutation?
Yes. If one has a blood parent, sibling or other relative who has the FSHD mutation, there may be a risk of carrying that mutation. Often, when a person is diagnosed, the disease is discovered to be throughout the extended family tree and over many generations. It is important to be aware that there may be other family members who are affected but unaware that they may have FSHD or may be at risk for FSHD. Professionals with knowledge of genetics and inheritance of FSHD can advise them regarding that risk.
Can a physician diagnose FSHD?
Yes. Even adults at risk, with no obvious symptoms, should avail themselves of a clinical diagnosis if they wish reassurance. Examinations by clinicians familiar with the disease are quite dependable when there are symptoms that follow an expected location and pattern of weakening muscles. By the age of 20, muscle weakness can be found approximately 95% of the time in affected individuals.
Often the physician will supplement a physical examination with inquiries about a possible family history of FSHD, measurement of specific enzyme levels in the blood, an electromyograph (EMG), and/or a muscle biopsy. An EMG records abnormal electrical activity of a functioning skeletal muscle. A biopsy consists of a small piece of muscle tissue analyzed for visible abnormalities.
A thorough examination will detect the disease in approximately 95% of affected individuals age 20 or older. However, the diagnosis may still be equivocal at younger ages and with some at-risk adults with mild or asymptomatic cases. This uncertainty can occur during years when there are important vocational, marital and family planning choices at issue. This has created a real need in the FSHD at-risk population for a DNA test for the disease.
Is there a DNA test for FSHD?
Yes. There is a DNA test for FSHD. It is highly reliable for most cases. The test detects the 4q35 DNA deletion described earlier. Although several factors may occasionally complicate the test, confirmation of the 4q35 deletion is 98% reliable as a presumptive diagnosis of FSHD. The test requires no more than a small amount of blood that one's physician sends to a testing laboratory. The laboratory extracts sufficient DNA for the test from the cells present in the blood. The FSH Society can provide information regarding the test and laboratories that currently offer it. It does not, however, endorse any test or laboratory. An individual should consult their own physician and the laboratories about the DNA diagnostic test.
Currently, there is no DNA test available for those cases where there is no linkage between FSHD and chromosome 4.
For more information, see "Diagnostic Testing" in the "For Patients" section of this website.
Is there a prenatal test for FSHD?
Yes. Using the same technology as the DNA test described above, prenatal testing is possible. An individual who is interested in a prenatal test for FSHD should consult with his or her physician or contact the FSH Society. The Society can provide further information about this subject.
Are treatments and aids available for FSHD?
There is no treatment or cure yet for FSHD. There are, however, things that can be done to alleviate its effects, including meeting with knowledgeable health practitioners.
Neurologists are often the primary physicians in muscle disease clinics since muscles do their work through stimulation by nerves. Physiatrists are physicians who work with chronic neuromuscular conditions. Periodic visits with a neurologist or physiatrist are useful to monitor the progress of FSHD and to obtain referrals to other professionals and services. An orthopedist (a physician concerned with the skeletal system and associated muscles, joints and ligaments) can offer advice about mobility issues and other functional problems of the muscular/skeletal system.
Physical therapy, including light exercise, helps preserve flexibility. Swimming is especially helpful in this regard by making many movements easier. One should stay as active as possible, with rest breaks as needed during exercise and activities.
Occupational therapy can help with suggestions for adaptations and physical aids that can often partially free an FSHD patient from some constrictions of the disease. Foot drop can sometimes be managed with ankle-foot orthotics (AFOs) and knee-ankle-foot orthotics (KAFOs).
Dietitians can help maintain a good diet and avoid unnecessary weight to reduce stress on already weakened muscles. In addition, speech and hearing therapists can help with limitations imposed by hearing loss and weakened facial musculature to improve speech and communication.
Sometimes a surgeon attaches the scapulae (shoulder blades) to the back to improve motion of the arms. An individual who is considering such surgery should consult with their neurologist or physiatrist and an orthopedic surgeon. Discussion of this procedure with individuals who have undergone the surgery is important.
Pain is part of FSHD in many patients. No specific treatments are available. Pain medication and mild physiotherapy are often prescribed with moderate results.
The FSH Society provides referrals to physicians and other professionals.
For more information about medical professionals and managing FSHD, see the "For Patients" section of this website.
Can respiratory insufficiency occur in FSHD?
Yes. Respiratory involvement can be seen. Evaluation of the symptoms and signs of respiratory insufficiency should be sought during routine clinic visits in patients with moderate to severe FSHD. Regular monitoring of respiratory function is suggested as one might experience insufficiency over a long period of time without presenting signs.
Symptomatic respiratory insufficiency can be initially managed with nighttime non-invasive pressure support e.g. a BiPAP machine. In very severe cases, patients may require the use of a ventilator. For FSHD patients with respiratory insufficiency, in standard practice, trauma (ER, ICU), surgery and anesthesiology settings, care should be taken not to suppress respiratory drive with narcotics unless it is a situation of palliative care. It is important to notify the doctors about FSHD and any respiratory problems the patient might have or be at risk for.
Oxygen supplementation can be detrimental to patients with hypercarbic (high CO2) respiratory failure and lead to worsening CO2 levels. Oxygen should generally not be administered unless BiPAP or similar ventilatory support is also being used. Your physician and a pulmonologist can help you periodically monitor CO2 levels in the office or pulmonary function lab in the hospital.
For more information, see "Health Information - Breathing" in the "For Patients" section of this website.

Looks great in the garage. Very adjustable. High quality. I assembled by myself so it too a while (too long). Will be much easier with a set of helping hands! Phone a friend. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Bought these to replace shelving I bought a few years back that had [ressed wood shelving that was supposed to hold up to 1000 lbs. I had just a little over 100 lbs. on it and the shelves are sagging. I loaded these shelves down after assembly and have complete confidence tthese steel shelves will hold up. Very strong and sturdy.
Chicago, IL
Much like others have experienced, the shelf unit is sturdy and well made. But the instructions? the instructions to assemble the unit are horrible. The descriptions are unclear and the illustrations do nothing help.
Cumming, GA

We initially bought two of these but ended up returning one because it was just so hard to put together! The quick connectors were way too fiddly, some of them weren't threaded correctly and you couldn't get a screw in them. There were no extra fixings either to swap out. The instructions were very hard to follow also. Once put together it is a nice strong shelving unit and we are very happy with the quality and construction of it.
La Porte, TX
via sears.com
The unit is sturdy but the directions are terrible to follow, pictures hard to see, and the special clips are not very intuitive if you are not good with this sort of thing. Took my buddy and I three hours to put together. Once done it is a heavy duty unit but I recommend some sort of rubber castors or something for the bottom, to prevent moisture seeping up through the concrete in your garage and rusting the feet of the unit. It has been a year and mine are already showing signs of rust under the powder coat right at the foot of the unit where it touches the concrete of the garage.
Paducah, KY
via sears.com
Instructions were not easy to follow! I finally just looked at the picture on the Sears website and took it from there. i would like to see whoever wrote the instructions put these shelves together as directed! I connected the top and bottom parts flat on the floor instead of lifting the top. I thought it would be rickety but after tightening was very sturdy. The Cabinet was way simpler to assemble!
Georgetown, PA
via sears.com
I got two of these. May buy more. There are a lot of parts, and you may probably should review the directions before starting construction. Once the legs and the bottom shelf is attached, it becomes pretty routine. Once assembled. the sturdiness is evident, and it actually looks good. I'd definitely recommend these to a friend.
Artesia, CA
via sears.com
Assembly instructions not easy to follow. More pictures and illustrations needed. The hardest part is on the middle shelf. I had to go back to Sears to take pictures.
Damascus, MD
via sears.com
Screws using a screwdriver would be better than screws using an allen wrench, a few of the screws provided were defective and had to be force fitted. Directions were very incomplete and diagrams not very helpful.

The Posh Fashion Story
Do you miss Victoria Beckham? Posh hasn't been papped in a long time. See? They can go deep underground when they want to. Even Victoria Beckham can go deep underground when she wants to. She wants to because she understands that her absence increases the value when she actually does show up. Full Story
Best of 2013: When H7 broke Anna Wintour

Posh & Becks cover Paris VOGUE
Victoria Beckham guest edited the new issue of Paris VOGUE. I wonder if this would have happened if Carine Roitfeld was still in charge. I wonder if it was contingent upon involving her husband. Like, who do you think the idea came from? Was she the one who wanted David there, or were they the ones who insisted upon it? There are two covers. Full Story

14 years after belly-cupping
David M. Benett/ Getty
Victoria Beckham was honoured last night in London at the Harper's Bazaar Women of the Year Awards. Son Brooklyn, 14, was her date. Instead of pose-harding, which is how she normally behaves on a carpet, Posh smiled tenderly and demonstrated her affection for her oldest child. Is this the natural progression of belly cupping? That whatever urge that compels a woman to belly cup her unborn child for photos is transferred to the grown child in adolescence? This is what we should be spending our research dollars on. Full Story
Posh in Paris and it's Fashion Week

I don't know if she's there for Fashion Week, but it can't be a coincidence either, right? Posh is a proper designer now. Paris is where the top designs live. Today she was at a meeting at the British Embassy. Don't you love the drama of how her long jacket is whipping around in the wind? What am I going to say next? You know what I'm going to say next.

No H7 at the Mens Final
Spartano /MaxNY /FAMEFLYNET PICTURES, Joel Ginsburg /WENN
Why not? David Beckham was at the US Open Mens Final yesterday, at one point sitting beside Kevin Spacey. Fine. But why isn't H7 there? Actually, wait. Is it because no one would care about the tennis if H7 was around? This, after all, is a child who can warm Anna Wintour. Being a distraction at a tennis match is nothing. Full Story
H7 breaks the biggest bitch

H7 has been owning me – and you – ever since she was born. She is the best. You want to see how good she is? H7's mother has been working on Anna Wintour for years for a VOGUE cover. Years. And nothing. Ms Wintour has supported Victoria Beckham's label, sure. But a cover? She's been withholding that cover. Full Story
H7 at the ballgame

H7 was with her dad and her brothers at the Dodgers game last night. She dressed down for the occasion in skinny jeans and a white top. Babies in skinny jeans always crack me up.

H7 on the merry-go-round
It's cute asphyxiation. You won't be able to breathe from the cuteness. H7 went to Disneyland with her family yesterday.

Victoria Beckham eats and smiles
NY Times Style profile on Victoria Beckham. You know what? She gives a good interview. She gives a FUN interview. So I'm not excerpting it because I don't want you to miss out on her tone. She is at once cheeky, but also honest, and, when it counts, very serious, especially about her business. Full Story
H7 goes to Legoland
H7's dad took her and her brothers Cruz and Romeo to Legoland yesterday. She wore her hair like Leonardo DiCaprio, only better. The Beckhams are apparently on summer holiday in LA I guess before school starts in England. They also went horseback riding last week. Posh did not ride in heels. Full Story
Posh covers China Vogue and at Wimbledon

What's the Anna Wintour policy on Vogue international covers? How long must the gap be between a Vogue cover in China and the cover of US Vogue? Victoria Beckham covers the August issue of China Vogue. The US Vogue September cover already belongs to Jennifer Lawrence. That leaves 3 months if Posh is to make her life's dream. Full Story

Here's a list in no particular order of some great movie soundtracks. Sorry there's no "Wind beneath my wings" nor Williams, so feel free to add or subtract in your comments to us
1. Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?: The folk and bluegrass is integral to this mythic musical.
2. Any Mike Myer's Austin Powers Movie: Don't question the genius of using Quincy Jones' "Soul Bossa Nova" as the quintessentially '60s title- track, or turning the musical Annie's "Hard Knock Life" into a hip-hop anthem.
3. The Piano: Michael Nyman scores Jane Campion's dark costume drama with romantic evocative music. (currently not in the collection)
4. Louise Riley Branch Blogger Tyler likes Grosse Pointe Blank for the Ska and Ferris Buehler's Day Off
5. Staffer and musician Dan recommends The Road, for Nick Cave's original score, and Vangelis' soundtrack to Blade Runner
6. We don't have Jim Jarmusch's Stranger than Paradise but we do have Screamin' Jay Hawkins' "I put a spell on you" on cd.
7. Immortal Beloved's Beethoven
8. On a more fun-hearted note, we'll add a true musical that Ashley likes: Grease
I've provided links to the dvds but we have blu-ray and soundtracks for some also
We'll likely revisit this...the list goes on

Death is no stranger in repetitive Hellraid: The Escape
I've been trying to slip past demonic guards to escape magical chambers for the past few hours as I fight my way through the horrific world of Hellraid: The Escape. At its best, the game is gruesome, bloody and full of suspense, but it can also be painful and highly frustrating.
Because in this iOS game, death is no stranger: Die you will, over and over — that's bloody guaranteed.

The resort at Pico Mountain has come a long way since it opened on Thanksgiving morning in 1937. It was a blustery day, and skiers held tight to a 1,200-foot towrope powered by a Hudson motorcar engine as they rose up the mountainside and tried to get reception on their rotary-dial phones. Today, the mountain is striped with 52 trails and seven lifts, including two high-speed detachable quads. Gentle learning terrain beckons newbies, smooth cruisers give intermediate skiers an easy ride, classically narrow New England steeps entice beginning and intermediate skiers, and a double-black-diamond trail challenges advanced athletes. Snowboarders and freestyle skiers interested in tricks can use the jumps, boxes, and rails in the Triple Slope terrain park, and the Snow Sports School sharpens the skills of first-timers and seasoned pros alike.
Although the resort has advanced in size and technology, it maintains a personalized, small-mountain charm. The trails all converge at one convenient central base area whose lodge boasts a sports center with a heated pool and a sauna. Guests can grab a beer and a burger or slice of pizza beside the crackling stone fireplace at the Last Run Lounge before retiring to their hotel room or condo.
Sculpted through scenic mountainside terrain, Green Mountain National Golf Course spans 6,589 yards of arching fairways and multi-tiered greens. Engulfed by dense tree lines and rising mountain faces, the course's narrow fairways call for a cautious approach, and those boldly teeing off with a driver or 17th-century musket may end up hacking their second shot out of the woodsy rough. As golfers traverse the course, elevated tees, greens, and cresting fairways give way to panoramic views, letting golfers glimpse the contoured terrain and drink in ancient rock formations shaped by glaciers and the species of colossal paleontologists that ruled the continent prior to their extinction. A full-length driving range, short game practice area, and putting green fine tune players' club-wielding prowess, and a fully stocked pro shop offers up equipment and gear to help guests loop the links in style. Course at a Glance: * 18-hole, par 71 course * Length of 6,589 yards from the farthest tees * Course rating of 72.1 from the farthest tees * Slope rating of 138 from the farthest tees * Five tee options
Fort Ticonderoga and its surrounding grounds are like one big history book. Following its construction by the French in 1755, the strategic military outpost was conquered first by the British and then by American forces?marking one of their earliest victories during the Revolutionary War. After independence was secured, Fort Ticonderoga became one of the country's earliest tourist destinations, and one that continues to draw visitors today.
More than 560 horses come to life when you ignite the engine inside one of The Racing School's authentic stock cars. The ensuing roar engulfs the entire vehicle, and your body rumbles as you grab the steering wheel and look towards the track. No stop signs. No pace cars. Just grip the steering wheel and drive?a race-car driver is born.
The Racing School has facilitated more than 14 years of thrilling moments just like this (and documented many of them on video). The staff here consists of current and former professional racers, who teach novices how to handle traditional stock cars, racing trucks, and other high-octane vehicles. Once instructors cover acceleration, braking, warp speed, and the other essentials, training culminates with a driving experience at professional-level tracks, including Waterford Speedbowl, Devils Bowl Speedway, and Thompson Speedway. Here, the experts give newbies the freedom to drive like pros, encouraging passing and letting drivers set their own pace.
No matter what direction their houses might actually be facing, most of the roofs in the United States point toward Slate Valley, a 24-mile-long stretch between New York and Vermont. That region not only produces most of the nation's roofing slate, but also has an intricate history that reaches all the way back to the 1800s.
Eye Catcher: a worn-down and beat-up 1951 LJT Mack Truck, which once hauled finished slate?and then blocks and rubbish?for the Tatko Bros. Slate Company
The Great Houdini, Ethel Barrymore, and Will Rogers?these are just a few of the legends who have graced the stage of the Paramount Theatre. Since it first opened as The Playhouse Theatre in 1914, the venue has been a go-to destination for entertainment. Vaudeville stars performed live revues throughout the 1920s, and celluloid icons appeared on the theater's movie screen in the 1930s, '40s, and '50s. Not even the dwindling film industry and rampant platform heels of the '70s could lower the curtain forever. After closing down in 1975, the Paramount went through dramatic renovations that modernized the space while preserving its vintage charm. The building reopened in 2000, and today continues to welcome acts as diverse as rock concerts and film series beneath its ornately stenciled ceilings.

Family wants answers in Chehalis body switchOctober 23, 2013 @ 9:15 am (Updated: 9:45 am - 10/23/13 )
CHEHALIS, Wash. (AP) - The family of Jerry Moon wants to know how the wrong body ended up in his casket at his funeral.
Family members were horrified Monday when they looked in the casket and saw the body of another man, The Chronicle reported Tuesday. They have hired a lawyer and asked the state Department of Licensing to investigate.
Moon, 72, a retired railroad conductor from Castle Rock, died Oct. 13 at Community Home, Health & Hospice in Longview. Dahl McVicker Funeral Home, Kelso, picked up his body the same day. Brown Mortuary, Chehalis, transported the body from Kelso the next day. Everyone involved in handling the body says they followed procedures and can't explain the switch.
Moon's son, Brian Moon, of Chehalis, said he received a phone call from Ken Dahl, the president of Dahl McVicker Funeral Home. Dahl told Brian Moon he cremated his father.
"My dad feared cremation and didn't want any part of it," Moon said. "He spent a lot of time and money and he wanted to be buried next to his father and mother."
The family has the ashes and, if they are confirmed to be Jerry Moon's, they will be buried at Claquato Cemetery in Chehalis, where a graveside memorial was canceled after the mix-up.
Meanwhile, the man who had been scheduled to be cremated was dressed in Moon's clothes and placed in his casket for the funeral at Brown Mortuary Service, Moon said.
When the casket was opened, friends and family were shocked.
"That poor guy was dressed in my father's clothes in front of hundreds of people," Moon said.
The person in the casket was cremated and his family now has his ashes, Moon said.
Brown Mortuary was not responsible for the mistake, said manager Daniel LaPlaunt.
"We follow all state protocols for identification," LaPlaunt said. "We have to trust those people who we receive a body from."

Piketty on the Real News
May 15, 2014 § Leave a comment
Thomas Piketty, author of Capital in the 21st Century, tells us about his study of the history of income and wealth since the 18th century.
Capital in the Twenty-First Century
April 24, 2014 § Leave a comment
Thomas Piketty joins two Nobel Prize winners and other scholars to discuss his book Capital in the Twenty-First Century.
The French economist Thomas Piketty (Paris School of Economics) discussed his new book, Capital in the Twenty-First Century at the Graduate Center. In this landmark work, Piketty argues that the main driver of inequality—the tendency of returns on capital to exceed the rate of economic growth—threatens to generate extreme inequalities that stir discontent and undermine democratic values. He calls for political action and policy intervention. Joseph Stiglitz (Columbia University), Paul Krugman (Princeton University), and Steven Durlauf (University of Wisconsin–Madison) participated in a panel moderated by LIS Senior Scholar Branko Milanovic. The event was introduced by LIS Director Janet Gornick, professor of political science and sociology at the Graduate Center.
Cosponsored by the Luxembourg Income Study Center and the Advanced Research Collaborative.

We love Monkspath Meadow (an ancient hay meadow) where rare orchids can be found located within the Garden Centre grounds.
We love the Notcutts Flower car which we created to promote 'Solihull in Bloom'. It's become quite the local attraction - especially when driven around Solihull or when parked at the front of the centre. If you spot our car out and about - let us know! We're always delighted to see your snaps of her doing the rounds.
We're a proud sponsor of 'Solihull in Bloom' and love seeing our town looking beautifully colourful for the competition.

^ lol, People are so mean about Lori.
I saw this one just now:
Ngl, when I was watching it, I didn't realize it was Lori at first. I was like "omg, is that a black lady ghost staring at the gang?" THE PRISON IS HAUNTED!... Oh.
Last edited by thatgirl; February 11th, 2013 at 12:53 PM.
Yeah, I dont get all the Lori hating either.
It really annoys me that people call her Whori. Why because she wanted a connection with a man that was good to her after her husband "died" ?
The slut shaming in this society is ridiculous.
" For all there is to feel, let it be felt"
― Emeli Sande
^ I understand why she get's hate-- the character is just really annoying and inconsistent. She was poorly written but they gave her a good send-off and people reacted positively to that...
But I don't like the 'Whori' stuff either.
It took me a second to realize it was Lori, too. But when I did I got chills.
Ngl, I might've been here for the prison being haunted tho, lol.
Y'all, I know this is random and I'm probably alone, but whenever I watch zombie movies/shows, I always wonder about shit like if the zombies got Oprah or Britney.
I stopped riding for Lori when she told Andrea to let the men protect the farm, and to start helping with laundry and cooking instead. Child, cheese.
Sometimes people just hate certain actors/their portrayals but I don't think that's the case with Sarah Wayne Callies. The actress was really lovely as Dr Sara Tancredi on Prison Break and people really liked her in that role...

I am surprised no know said anything about the ratings. 12.3 million viewers, beatings its old record!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who watches The Talking Dead. XD They have some good insights on the characters.
As for Lori, it's not that she got with Shane that annoys me, it's more of the things she says and the way she handles things, like when she drove off to find Rick (as if she'd be of some help) and ends up crashing, and both instances that BFizzle mentioned. I actually liked Andrea in that moment when she tells Lori off about having a husband, son, baby, and boyfriend. lol I don't think it's the person portraying her either, I think it's really just how the character is written. I admit, sometimes I hate a character because of the person portraying them, but that's usually after I've seen them on an interview or something and they didn't sit right with me. I don't know the actress playing her though. Still, I don't hate Lori, just annoyed by her and would probably avoid/ignore her if I was in that group. I think we're all just jealous she was with Rick. :P lol
Poor Rick losing all the good (and sexy!) people. He's just left with Glenn pretty much. lol Come back Daryl (and Tyrese!)! With Michonne, Daryl, and Tyrese all together, they could take out all of Woodbury.

"Don't hold strong opinions about things you don't understand."
I expected too much Sunday night - I had read a glowing review in the NY Post - the anticipation was a bit much
I was disappointed in the pace, content and what I see going forward. Here's my two cents
Rick as a semi crazy guy doesn't do it for me ...... really don't care for this depiction of him at all
Herschel was awesome - first with the new group - then with Glen - then talking Rick into being more open to new
Glen getting on Rick I didn't like - didn't feel it - and frankly that red/black/bruised eye thing didn't do it for me
The new group just widowed dad creeped me out - talking about offing carol and carl - hope he gets his
Rick seeing Lori - yech
Andrea as new leader of the the town - not buying that either
and the doctor of the town is el creepo too
thank god for herschel
miss daryl already
somebody kill his brother
michonne - does she talk ?
bottom line - need rick back
over and out
'The Walking Dead' returns to jaw-dropping record ratings
The Walking Dead has done it again.
Another. ANOTHER. Series-high rating. (I didn't capitalize for emphasis, the article's author did that on his own. Yas, bitch, stan for TWD!)
Sunday night's midseason return of the AMC zombie drama delivered 12.3 million viewers and a 6.1 adults 18-49 rating — its biggest yet in both measurements.
And that was against The Grammys.
To give you an idea of how stunning this performance is, ABC's Once Upon a Time sank to a series low 2.2 in the adult demo last night and Fox's Family Guy went down to a 2.4 — and those are the broadcast shows that performed the best against the music awards show.
Put another way: Last Thursday's American Idol had 13.3 million viewers and a 4.1 rating and Wednesday's edition had 14.3 million and a 4.6 rating. So in the all-important adult demo — if not total viewers — The Walking Dead beat last week's American Idol telecasts. In fact, The Walking Dead's average for its current third season in the demo is higher than top broadcast shows like Modern Family, The Big Bang Theory and NCIS. And among cable, there's no comparison — last night's episode was the biggest adult demo number ever for a basic cable series.
Oh, and if you include The Walking Dead's encore telecast, the show's viewership rises to 16.6 million for the night.
These ratings must confound broadcast executives. Because so much that's on the air now is struggling to get noticed, straining to do even a 3.0 rating, especially dramas. To see a cable show pull out a 6.1 is enough to cause an existential crisis. That its a show that broadcast executives ultimately rejected before it landed at AMC must sting too (not that broadcast could get away with AMC's level of graphic content).
"When you look at numbers like this, the first thing that comes to mind is how grateful we are to the fans of this show," said Charlie Collier, AMC's president. "They embrace The Walking Dead in a way that we wanted to believe was possible but we never take for granted.The cast and crew put everything they have into making this show. They're a phenomenally talented group who truly give their all. We congratulate everyone involved."
You want a little more Walking Dead, do you? Here's EW's interview with showrunner Glen Mazzara about the episode. Here's our interview with Robert Kirkman about the episode. Here's our interview with Sarah Wayne Callies about the episode. Here's our recap of the episode. Here's our commemorative Walking Dead paperweights. It's an EW Walking Dead fire sale, all Walking Dead content must go!
"Don't hold strong opinions about things you don't understand."
I think they made Rick crazy too fast. I get he's supposed to be grief stricken by Lori's death, but he clearly was detached from her over her relationship with Shane. It just seems like one of those "hey it happened in the comic so we gotta put it on the show" things. Overall I thought it was a meh episode, not worthy of all the hype.
wait so is that black girl Tyreese's sister in the series or in real life? (too lazy to google)
and wtf was with Donna's husband going "oh you're living in the past"
stfu dude, you were carrying around Donna even after she was bit and shit.
also I just realized Karen of Woodbury is in Teen Wolf playing Tyler Posey's mom....lol
also did anyone else mention glenn insinuating that maggie really did get raped even though she says she didnt. I thought it was noteworthy.

"survival of the fittest"
this is from the guy who told his group to "just go" even when being chased by walkers in the prison because he didnt want to let go of his already dead wife. smh.
I like the new group - minus the guy that planned to take out Carl/Carol. I hope Rick gives them a chance.
I'll admit Rick's hallucination of Dead Lori gave me chills - Andrew Lincoln is a phenomenal actor. He does it so well. Rick has become a scary person. It'll be interesting to see if he can get back on the rails because from what I saw last ep he's on the brink of an epic meltdown.
Bring Daryl back. The group is weak without him and the show loses some of it's spark. I need Carol/Daryl to become a thing.
The Governor shits me - Andrea impressed me.
My MAJOR issue with this episode - Michonne. I need her to start talking. It's becoming a joke on the writers part.
I knew Carol was going to be pissed off that Daryl just up and I just hope she doesn't do something stupid like go out and look for Daryl and get herself killed.
Also I found it weird that the last time Carl and Carol were alone was when they were having that conversation about God and Sophia on the farm.
Herschel lost how many people from his family and he's still taking it like a man and still incredibly sane. Plus he lost his leg and has to walk around on crutches. For the safety of that baby, lock Rick up and fucking make someone else the Leader for right now. Rick is not well that entire room witnessed him talking to some imaginary person.
Why is tumblr making me want to ship Michonne and Daryl by posting all these cute BTS stuff of Norman and Danai. Stahp.
They think they can just portray Michonne in EXACTLY THE SAME WAY as in the comic? Like, this is a tv show. They need to expand on it, it doesn't translate very well on a show-- to have her silently emoting with the same facial expression all of the damn time.
Y'all. Daryl looks like my friend's mom.
^ LMAO. OMG. I just re-read that and realized that it doesn't say "my MOM's friend."
It says friend's mom.
Friend's mom.
Can anyone tell that I am running on no sleep.
I'm here.
First of all, Andrew Lincoln can give it to me in 70 different ways.
Second, Those two white boys from this new group are trouble. I don't remember who lost the wife/girlfriend or if it was a fam of a mother father son ect ect but I don't use either of them and after that Carol/Carl messiness the writers are setting those two characters up to get killed by the rest of the group. It makes sense because the black guy and black girl are having more facetime which makes those two extras disposable.
I have a feeling with Rick's latest episode he may take care of them during another psychotic break. I will be cheering him on, tbqh.
Also, about Rick's state of mind this is the second time he has imagined something so vividly. First it was with that telephone, I immediately thought it was the loss of Lori which made him break but something else is happening.
The hispanic guy at woodberry who was shoving his gun in everyone's face is HAWT. Of course, Andrea had to kill my buzz by becoming Queen of Woodberry. I can only be so mad at her for continuing her conquest on that good peen while the others are struggling to stay alive in what appears to be an endless maze of prison cells.
Merle remains a thorn on my side and Darryl leaving with him gives us good opportunities for twists and turns. I will be very interested on who those two will run into first. The old gang, or the woodberries. Perhaps they sneak up on something we haven't seen before.
There are so many avenue's this show hasn't gone in yet the possibilities are endless. We are just running up on a town with a "System" (Not yet a real government) I'd be curious to see what other worldly devices we come across in the Walking Dead Universe.

Okay, so I was thinking about peace between Woodbury and the Prison.. I know it won't happen, but it got me thinking...
What the hell happened to that wandering giant mass of zombies from the farmhouse? Did they just move on? Was there anything mentioned at the beginning of season 3?
from what the characters say, its probably not uncommon for a "herd" to just move from place to place
and i wonder what would happen eventually to the zombies if they dont have anything to eat...they starve at a slower rate but...do they eventually die of starvation?
Andrea needs to die.
Ah thanks guys. I remembered something but I still think it's kind of strange that it hasn't happened upon the Prison yet. A herd should come by right when the Governor attacks so that all those townies die.
I could kill this bitch
actors/actresses talking about the episode last sunday
still can't get over rick's real life british acccent
I love seeing the actresses from TWD all glammed up.
