So I went with an f/stop of 7.1, with a 15 sec exposure, at 43 mm, with an ISO of 125! So the narrow aperture and low ISO allowed me to get a long exposure without getting too much of the city light in. Also I edited the image in lightroom and adjusted a few, especially reducing highlights and increasing the contrast

>Multiple statements from his, his agents and lawyers and a victim who’s said he’s made no effort to apologize.

He, his agents, and lawyers say he his only regrets were that he faced consequences and that he made no effort to apologize? Weird. I read an article that noted an apology was part of the original sentencing, and that the victim’s family wanted a personal apology over and above that.

>This isn’t a new story. There’s been a lot written about it in the last two years.

Cool. Maybe you can source some of your assertions?

Multiple statements from his, his agents and lawyers and a victim who’s said he’s made no effort to apologize.

This isn’t a new story. There’s been a lot written about it in the last two years.

So where is the line drawn? Stealing a car is fine, bullying isn’t? Is it the racial component? I’m honestly curious what leads you to believe that in the case behavior by a 14 year old is irredeemable.

There’s a movement to make it impermissible to ask about felony history precisely because we believe justice should be meted out by the justice system, not the general population, and because we recognize that people can change.

Oh, the Boston Bruins organization completely embarrassed themselves in this whole ordeal.

He was a bottom half of the draft prospect as is and they did zero due diligence and basically bid the max amount for a guy who wasn’t eligible to play and had zero other teams interested.

Not many of us make the kind of mistakes that end up with a criminal record. It's not like this was a stupid one time event like a fight or a stolen car.

>The petitioner is requesting a rezoning of the subject lots from R-P to C-3. The applicant operates a cultural facility on the subject lots that includes a restaurant with provision of incidental entertainment. Incidental entertainment allows for playing of unamplified acoustic music and playing of prerecorded music below maximum volume without dancing, cover charges and light effects. The zone change is being requested to allow for live entertainment –ancillary use, which would allow for enhanced entertainment that would include amplified music, DJs, dancing and performances.
