Stay indoors request lifted, public transit service restored in Boston, authorities say.
However, Boston bombing suspect Dzhokar Tsarnaev remains at large, Col. Timothy Alben, of the Massachusetts State Police said.
"They were quiet, they kept to themselves. They didn’t like my big pink novelty dicks."Thank you, random Bostonian being interviewed by the BBC about the bombing suspects, thank you for bringing a small amount of joy into this horrible day. Without you, today would have been entirely free of awkwardly placed dildos, or possibly giant pink joke water bottles, and we would have no one to laugh at. But you, you noble bastard, you have given us someone to mock, someone to laugh at, and something to help us momentarily forget the horrors of this week. Thank you, you awkward little weirdo. Thank you.
A little comic relief..
Feel bad for the memes which will be created at this man’s expsense..
Authorities in Boston plan a “controlled explosion” Friday afternoon to destroy suspicious material found during the hunt for bomb suspects Tamerlan and Dzhokar Tsarnaev.
Police say the scheduled detonation is the safest way to neutralize any possible threat posed by the material. They would not specify what kind of material they had found
One Boston Marathon bombing suspect is dead and the other - his brother - is still on the run and said to be armed and extremely dangerous.
And … this:
The network reported Friday afternoon that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev became an American citizen on Sept. 11, 2012.
In a chilling image obtained by the FBI, one of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects can be seen standing behind the young boy who was killed by one of Monday’s terror blasts,
A moment in time captured. The evil lurking behind the young innocent Martin Richard.. the eight year old would die moments later in a pointless act of terror at the Boston Marathon.
This picture is chilling. But after the initial shock and sickness you feel, you should feel anger. I did. I felt so angry seeing this.. thinking that this vile creature placed the bomb next to this innocent young man, standing and watching a race, and looking forward to a life of happiness. It was taken away from him for a cause.. The cause yet unknown. But we can figure out it, I think can’t we? It’s one of those causes that many have had over time.. causes that do nothing but injure and kill innocence while robbing humankind of beauty and goodness..
I have to say after watching the past several hours of news, I can only say that the mainstream media as it was, including cable news, is slowly going to be gone over the next few years. Twitter and 4Chan did more exclusive reporting than the big time press.. Amazing job, being scooped by users of Twitter, late night tin foil radio show tosts, and 4Channers.. Amazing.
Unbelievable.. Thanks for that update.
I will kill all of you as you killed my brother.
The suspect — posting online just now — per the police scanner. (via evanfleischer)
Answering the where did Drudge get this question..
But .. apparently the Boston suspect is posting right now on Twitter..
COP: ‘He is posting online — I will kill all of you, as you killed my brother’…
Not sure where Drudge is getting this, unless he has someone relaying the words being said on Boston scanners
Boston and its surburbs, universities and transit system were on total lockdown Friday as police hunted for marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev — on the loose after his terrorist brother was killed in a stunning chain of events that left one cop dead and another injured, officials said.
Authorities were confronting a double-edged nightmare: a ruthless killer at large in a densely populated area and a four-mile stretch of road possibly littered with explosive devices tossed from the suspects’ getaway vehicle during a wild chase and firefights.
Two unidentified people were taken into custody at the Cambridge, Mass., home where Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and his older brother Tamerlan grew up, but they were not being described as additional suspects. Three dozen FBI agents were ringing the house.
Currently, The Washington Post is putting together a live board composed of Tweets, Instagram, and other social media and news updates. These are some of the most astonishing scenes currently coming out of Boston.
Police and military are still on a high profile manhunt for the younger suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings, MIT shooting, and police shootout last night in Watertown. The older suspect has been killed during conflicts with police.
Martial Law if I’ve ever seen it..
(Reuters) - The Boston Marathon suspect who died had multiple wounds from gunshots and possibly the blast of an explosive, said a doctor at the hospital where the man was treated on Friday
Boston. 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev is the Boston bombing suspect, whow as killed in an exchange of fire with the police, the online edition of the New York times informed.
The kids aren’t alright. Here is Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev. He’s armed, he dangerous. And almost an entire state is on lockdown as he runs ..
Portion of a AP dispatch just released
WATERTOWN, Massachusetts (Reuters) - Massachusetts State Police warned people in the Boston suburb of Watertown not to open their doors and said they would conduct a door-to-door, street-by-street search
Anthony Gucciardi | 4chan users have identified FBI Boston Marathon bombing suspect as missing student Sunil Tripathi.
Identities revealed: The suspects were brothers, from Russia near Chechnya, may have military experience, and have lived in the United States for about a year.. We will see how much of that turns out to be true..
More on that military experience being reported ..
And politically and militarily, it is certainly worth noting developments recently. Chechen commander forms ‘Army of Emigrants,’ integrates Syrian groups
The Syrian ‘rebels’ have been joined by militants from Chechnya in “Jihad” against Assad.
So in essence, the United States is also funding extremists from Chechnya..
WASHINGTON â AP: Surviving Boston bomb suspect identified as Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, 19, of Cambridge, Mass.
We will see.
'This is a lockdown like I haven't seen in 30 years' of reporting..
Martial law virtually declared. The American homefront becomes a warfront..
While many slept, they missed breaking news events of epic proportions. It felt like the scene of a BATMAN movie, except no one is coming from Wayne Mansion to save the day..
A brief timeline of events as they have transpired so far:
Chaos, madness, and violence gripped Boston.. And one marathon bombing suspect is dead an another on the loose.. Unbelievable news.. video here..
Thank you for the kind words. I actually received a few other ‘less nice’ responses to my post on that topic.. Your brief message reminded me that there are some good people out there in bloggerland. Keep on reading, and thank you again.
The final prosecution witness against Kermit Gosnell, the abortion doctor on trial for the capital murder of seven babies and one adult patient, was Kareema Cross, a former employee of Gosnell’s. Thursday Cross testified that she saw ten babies breathe before Gosnell killed them.
Pretty horrific stuff, don’t you think?
But yet another day of empty media seats and hardly any coverage..
I just don’t get it. This does not have to even boil down to a pro-life vs pro-choice issue.. I think both sides can reasonably agree on the premise that we are all anti-murder.
The trial thus far has featured a strong prosecution.. this was damning today.. but I still cannot get over the testimony of the maintenance man who became tired of his job because he had to constantly clean up baby body parts ..
We’ve sure come a long way since Janet Jackson at the Super Bowl now haven’t we? Beyonce purposely slips the nips..
Also included with the Gizmodo article is a full list of who voted yea
This almost became another Richard Jewell type of issue..
Maybe we can tone down these conspiracy theories? Someone who I consider to be very smart just emailed me what she said was a photograph of the dead Newtown Connecticut principal at the Boston Marathon before the bombing happened. The picture is a fraud, a well orchestrated fraud, and a lot of gullible people will no doubt believe this as of now circulates, as my intelligent friend did..
I understand the propensity to blame and label everything a false flag, I get it. We should question everything and research everything is well.. But it does it make sense to conclude that the Boston Marathon massacre is a false flag when a name of a suspect hasn’t even been announced?
And it is even more disgusting to get stupid emails like I got today of something completely fictitious..
We all need to just calm down a little bit, let the authorities do their work, and let them find who they feel is the suspect in this act of terror..
Oh and one last thing: I am fully aware that people watch a lot of crime stories on TV, and they may even DVR them for later viewing.. But just because you do that and just because you might be an expert on what happens on CSI, that does not mean that you can comb through photographs from the Boston Marathon online and find who you believe that the suspect..
I have noticed that there are a lot of people circling most likely completely innocent people in photographs and putting a little comments next to their faces saying “Could this be the bomber?”
Just call your britches out there everybody, if you want to scream about a false flag at least wait until authorities they may suspect…
We’re on shaky ground..
A person is in the hospital after a sinkhole opened in Chicago in the early AM hours and quickly grew.
Latest reports also indicate there are three cars already swallowed up by it..
The big Texas explosion at the fertilizer plant actually registered as an earthquake..
While no cause of the explosion has yet been reported, some are already comparing the explosion to the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing or to occurrences in Iraq..
The dead and injured are being counted in West, Texas today. And grim numbers are sure to be released throughout the coming hours..
This indeed has been a bad month for America.. Beware April, or Ares, the god of war.
Bet you didn’t know: we are sending 200 troops to Jordan. Also bet you didn’t know: The number of troops could rise to 20,000!
And now on to sports and weather!
‘The whole street is gone’: Bloodied eyewitnesses describe Texas explosion horror
(Photo: Rod Aydelotte / AP)
Shocked eyewitnesses have told of the overwhelming power of the Texas fertilizer plant explosion and expressed fears that there could be many fatalities in the small town that was rocked by the blast.
“The school’s gone, the apartments are gone,” a young man in a blood-soaked t-shirt told reporters. “It’s just horrible. Not something you ever want to have to deal with.”
Many are feared dead .. Many are injured..
Here’s video from Texas..
One report said it felt like the earth shook as the blast was felt far and wide..
Hundreds injured.. and now the 2,700 people of the town of West are being told to evacuate due on fears over ammonia in the air..
The scene is reminiscent of a war zone..
It tragic.
And oddly enough it happened before.. On April 16, 1947, a fertilizer explosion destroyed a Texas town..

Make sure this doesn’t happen to you. Now is the time to arm yourselves with wishes. It’s the Lyrid Meteor shower time!
Yet again, we as a nation are going through some weird deja vu.. A terrorist attack in a major city, shock across the nation.. and then powder and chemicals being sent through the mail.. evacuations and bomb scares from sea to shaky sea. This is America, 2013.. Not 2001. Then it was a much worse attack with a target of Osama bin Laden by the end of the day. This time we still search for someone. Then it was anthrax, with a scientist being blamed and never charged, and he eventually died from the planet .. this time it’s ricin, and we already arrested someone. If we can believe media reports that is.
And should we?
We had a roller coast of emotions today. This morning the trail was ‘cold’ and had run dry. By the afternoon CNN was pounding its chest in celebration of breaking news that “dark skinned bomber” had been arrested. The problem was that he was not arrested. No one was arrested. There was no arrest. Instead rumors being garbled up by everyone quickly …CNN had to back off its story about their dark skinned mail, just as the New York POST had to back off its own embarrassment with their “Saudi national” suspect the night of the bombing. For the record, there is still an AP dispatch of the ‘arrest’ Wonder how long this will be lasting in their archives.
And who can forget about the instant conspiracy theory industry whenever a major event occurs. Alex Jones is rampaging across the airwaves .. he is combing through photos and today on his show said he found Navy Seals—or what he thought of as people acting like Navy Seals—all dressed the same.. with backpacks.. I linked some of those interesting photos already here.
Last night on the Sean Hannity Fox Noise network program, Hannity and ‘respected’ expert Mark Fuhrman wondered aloud if we should be taking a second glance at people who buy more than one pressure cooker in their lives, even reminding viewers that those new objects of war have lifetime guarantees.
But just when you thought lunacy was only abundant not he right wing? Just go left young man and you’ll find just as much. Actor Jay Mohr blamed guns—but on the bright side he didn’t blame pressure cookers. And SALON just went all out, saying they hope that the bomber turns out to be a white male.
Yes indeed, we are living through lunacy.
Conspiracy theorists vs media windbags that want to be first place.. FOX pulling the FAMILY GUY while their news station jumped on the Saudi national original villain.
What have we become, my sweetest friends?
Everyone I know gets questioned in the end.
Indeed. What have we become…
Nonetheless, they report:
An arrest has been made in connection with letters sent to President Barack Obama and Sen. Roger Wicker that authorities are testing for ricin, two federal law enforcement officials said.
The person was arrested in the Tupelo, Mississippi, area, one of the

Fans hungry for new STAR WARS movies are going to be hit hard.. we all will be.
Starting in 2015, Disney is planning a NEW STAR WARS MOVIE every summer.. By 2019 we’d see double the STAR WARS films that exist now. And as Entertainment WEEKLY reports, they are actually hoping that the movies start their very own spinoffs that become just as popular as the original movies..
In modern entertainment, there are two important things to consider: 1) Hollywood is out of ideas, and 2) When they have a great idea they overdo it.
And that is what I predict will happen with this flawed Disney plan..
A new movie every summer?
They will market aggressively. We know that..
The originals, however, are still more popular than the newer films. Because of the cast.. and the originality of it all.
These days we’ve seen it all. And we’ll be seeing it all over and over again every year..
A little too much star wars for me.
Magnitude 7.8 quake strikes Iran
NBC News:A magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck Iran on Tuesday, according to the USGS.
The quake struck near the city of Khash, Iran, which is close to the Pakistani border. Buildings as far away as New Delhi, India, shook from the tremors.

Bieber visited the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam Saturday. According to the Facebook page for the museum (yes, the Anne Frank House has a Facebook page), Bieber was there a few friends and bodyguards and went inside while a throng of fans waited outside.
The museum then explained … “He stayed more than an hour in the museum. In our guestbook he wrote: ‘Truly inspiring to be able to come here. Anne was a great girl. Hopefully she would have been a belieber.’”
Had she lived … the April 13 diary entry would surely have included the word “douchebag.”
A Kermit Gosnell update:
And more:
Gosnell’s employees say they were just doing what their boss told them to..Some said it was the best job they could find.. Just following orders? We’ve heard that before in history, now haven’t we?
The money quote:
So the question, raised by pro-lifers, is this: Explain to us why Gosnell isn’t a national story. Somebody else can try. I can’t explain it. It’s never made sense to me, how a local crime story becomes a national story. Two words: “Poop cruise.” CNN ran hours of coverage and grainy video of a stranded Carnival cruise ship, a situation that inconvenienced many and killed none. How does a missing college student or an angry man in a TSA line become part of Our National Conversation? I don’t know. I do know that a reporter in the bubble is less likely to be compelled by the news of an arrested abortionist.
This is an amazing and honest article by Megan McArdle of the DAILY BEAST.. And a must read in my opinion..
I’m a solar flare freak.
And I’m pretty excited at the prospects of tonight’s Northern Lights possibilities here in Pennsylvania. On the Kp index, tonight will be a 6 to 8..
it’s going to be touchy though.. They are set to hit at 8pm tonight, but with a deviation of 7 hours, there is a chance that the West may have a better chance if they don’t start before nightfall along the East Coast..
Crossing fingers..
Some strange activity just took place in my home, at least I think it did, as I was working out of the corner my eye I saw a shadow flying around near the floor. I quickly turned around in my swivel chair and looked for whatever the shadow may have been. And somehow out of thin air I realized I was suddenly looking at a dark moth with a shadow underneath it near the floor..
I wondered to myself in the split-second when I so the moth, ‘how did this odd little creature even get in here, it is the middle of the day it is not flying near any light and it seemed to appear out of nowhere?’
It took no longer than two or three seconds before the moth was gone. And I mean gone. Vanished. And the strange part was it disappeared somehow while I was still watching it.
I know there have been some paranormal urban legends that have existed for such a long time about ghost cats and ghost dogs and even ghost rats. I don’t think I have ever heard one about a ghost moth. Until I experienced it myself today, and now I have a tale to tell.
If the moth reappears out of nowhere maybe my story of a ghost moth will be proven false. If I find a carcass of the little creature somewhere or see him again I will update you all .. but until then a ghost moth flies from realm to realm and it visited me today.
Dazzling Northern Lights Anticipated Saturday Night
A solar flare that occurred around 2 a.m. Thursday morning may create a spectacular display of northern lights Saturday evening.
Excellent timing! Great weather expected overtop the great Coal Region of PA.. and Northern Lights will be a movin’ South!

It’s been tough being a parent so far.. Ayden has turned two, and now the real battle begins: Potty training. Mom and Dad have been introducing it to the little man recently.. he’s been understanding of the concept from totally contempt of trying it. We were proud once when he wanted to sit on a toilet at a restaurant that he likes to eat pizza at. But it was a false alarm.. And at home?? No luck.. His grandfather thinks that my wife and I should buy him an old fashioned wooden potty with arms on it—made in America. Which, unfortunately, is just about impossible to find and buy.
But.. perhaps now there is a godlike solution for the poop and pee conundrum. Maybe my son Ayden needs a good old fashioned exorcism.
Seriously.
This website, http://www.demonbuster.com/potty.html, explains all the ways to ‘bust’ those demons up in your household. And potty training, it would seem, summons the most demons of all.. A reader of DemonBuster wrote into the site and said,
"Well my baby boy has been difficult to potty-train. He is past the age that he should be trained and I was getting really tired of it. I would sit him in the toilet for a long time and nothing would happen. When I would put him back in diapers, he would go! And I was sick and tired of it. So I got really mad, sat him in the potty and told him he had to "go". The baby started screaming and I got the idea that it was a demon. So I commanded it to manifest and give me his name. The baby continued screaming and saying: "You can’t make me, you can’t make me". I insisted in the demon telling me his name, so the Holy Spirit said: "That’s his name, "you can’t make me". I commanded it out. The baby had deliverance and he has been potty-trained since."
So tonight maybe it’s time to sit down my wife after Ayden goes to bed, and we write a script. Is this the weekend to command the evil spirits out? Is this the weekend where we tell the demons to leave our son poop in peace?
I love the internet. Before this, who’d ever though that it was demons preventing billions of kids in the past from learning how to properly go to the bathroom indoors?
Thanks demonbuster. Continue the ‘good’ work.

I wish I had some better news.. but nothing earth breaking yet. Recently the owner of the Facebook fan site, People Who Miss Art Bell on C2C, asked Bell directly what is happening with any potential deal. He actually answered and said he cannot speak about anything on whether he’d come back ‘til a deal is done.’
What I worry about is his age..
And listening lately to George Noory it’s clearly evident as to why either Art Bell or someone else must take over the show—or it needs to be canceled. I cannot believe how bad Noory has gotten lately..
I used to talk somewhat on a regular basis with Art Bell through email and Facebook. But I am sure he gets more than thousands of messages a day..
Nonetheless, I’ll keep following up and hopefully Art Bell will give news soon.
And the new generation feels a lot older than their parents at the same age!

Dutch researchers are telling us something that maybe we all had a little hunch about for a while: Kids these days are obese, unhealthy, have high blood pressure, and are fixated on computer screens. While the best of the best bloggers on TV are thin and svelte, it appears that, if the Dutch study is correct and believable, then the majority of the youth these days are really about 15 years older healthwise..

Amazing stuff..
Serious question for any plant lovers out there: I have a shamrock plant, and tonight when a thunderstorm started, the shamrock plant drooped down and moved away from the window.. I know there is a certain luck of the Irish that comes with any shamrock plant but is there also an intelligence I was not aware of?
