The first picture is after the event, they sill have the bags.m the wider angle shot shows this. I don't think these are the dudes.

He was killed in the second blast. His family was running from the first.

I was thinking the same thing. The one in blue with no legs to speak of is one of the fatalities. The lady in red is laying on someone's severed foot, it looks small.

And pressure cookers. And backpacks. Quick, Get Paranoid!

Alex Jones needs attention. As in he can't breathe without it. People go on roofs when you live in the city.

There are some additional pics out there of how awful it really was (SO not safe for anyone): http://imgur.com/a/IuEDd This guy captured pics seconds before the first blast from immediately above: http://deadspin.com/i-watched-the-marathon-bombing-from-above-these-are-my-473591429 Crazy.

My progressive sensibilities have nothing to do with the argument. If Jihadist terrorists have always claimed responsibility immediately after the event, why would they not this time? NM: I'm wrong. http://blog.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2013/04/16/how_long_does_it_take_terrorist_groups_to_take_responsibility

Right, because foreign terrorists are the only ones with access to pressure cookers. Just as I speculate based on my lens, you and Mike Huckabee do too.

We should also remember it took 2 years to arrest the real perpetrator behind the 1996 Olympic bombing. We all want answers right now and are hitting refresh on reddit or the like, but justice may be a long way off.

Obviously you are referring to me. People (including me) interpret events that are beyond control and make them comport to a world view. Seeking order in chaos is what humans have done since we had the ability to intellectualize the reality around us. It isn't pathetic so much as it is part of the natural human experience. That being said, when I said "right wing" I clearly did not mean it on the standard deviation scale of political philosophy. Just as my views have nothing in common with Ted Kaczynski, the term "right-wing" does not implicate republicans, tea party members or anyone else other than the one or more sociopaths who did this, if it even goes that way.

Word. When one goes to this far of an extreme it is not on a standard political spectrum. Just as I, a lefty, should not be judged by the actions of PETA, Green"Peace" or the 911 Truthers, Conservatives and domestic terrorists will not be conflated. I suspect, however, that those who did it believe this will start some new "revolutionary war" to "take back our government". They will be mystified when they are standing alone. Who knows though, it's all wild speculation at this point.

It was in the city of the "shot heard round the world" which started the Revolutionary War, on "Patriots Day", which just happens to be tax day. It was clearly a low level improvised explosive with cell phone triggers, the kind that any domestic anti-government terrorist would make, not a state sponsored terror event like we've seen in the past. It also just happened to be along the last mile which was dedicated to the Newton families and the first one was triggered next to the families. I'm guessing this is what will flush out. The fact that right wing talk show hacks are already calling it a false flag attack reinforce that they think this will be the narrative too... and are redirecting the attention they are about to get for breeding these idiots.

How that dude who had both legs blown off is conscious, I have no idea.

The Cut Diet: It is a pre-contest BB regimen. http://www.scivationbooks.com/gameover.htm Clifs: Chicken and broccoli and nuts (or natural PB) 6 times a day, a glycogen refeed every 18th meal using complex carbs. It's a ketogenic diet so your body switches it's metabolic processes from burning carbohydrates to fat (and protein). I've done it a few times before when I've gotten too squishy and it's worked easily every time even though I am far from a BB. Edit: I'm ~4 weeks in right now. Since I've been vegan for 18 months the combination of creatine, the blast of protein, and the fact that I'm lifting again has actually increased my overall muscle mass and density while decreasing fat. While I'm only down about 8lbs, my body looks completely different. My weakly vegan muscles struggled to bench 135lbs more than a handful of times, My 1RM is now up to 300... Boom.

On that note, my biggest past mistake that lowered my score before I got crazy about it was 2 unpaid medical bills from when I was 19 or 20. This letter helped me clear it the second I paid it. (It's a violation of HIPAA law to report a paid bill on your credit). http://whychat.5u.com/hipltr.html That site has other advice for clearing different types of negative entries.

ECY, ON Whey, Creatine (to make up for 2 years of a Vegan diet)

First: Using your own money to bootstrap a business isn't how to do it. If you really do have a good idea that you can show will be profitable, there is plenty of money out there chasing good ideas. Example: A business plan that I wrote in a weekend got a 100k start-up guarantee with up to 1M in continuous funding (with stipulations) from a single investor. Though I decided not to go that direction, the money was there. HealthSpot, a Dublin based company, turns away investors if they don't have enough clout to simultaneously build the brand. Columbus is such a strong city for start-up incubation and financing. One of my companies is located at Inc8000 in New Albany which provides office space and collaboration, subsidized by the city to encourage entrepreneurship. TechColumbus, and the DEC in Dublin have similar programs. Once a month OSU hosts a "Wakeup Startup" where aspiring business owners can pitch ideas, get feedback and/or funding. Second: If you really really want to be an entrepreneur, everything you need to do it is out there and most all of it is free. Meeting the right people is #1, learning what is important and what is not from people who have been down the path is invaluable. When I was in Columbus I met with 10 other business owners for 3 hours a month, we held each other accountable to our goals, made introductions to other helpful people and got feedback on strategy and ideas. One thing that you will experience is that nobody you know (or are married to) will understand your vision. They will complain about the initial dip (being broke and working non-stop) and encourage you to find a mediocre job with benefits. Being surrounded by other people who are making it happen every single day is the single most important factor in getting through your dip.

If someone on here would want to start a car wash, one of my companies sells one of the more expensive components to the operation. I'd sell to CR members at near cost pricing. /plug

Awesome. Japanese currency and Chinese language. Isn't Glen Beck on right now?

I'd have lunch with Tym Switzer and/or Jeff at IPS and really dig into the challenges they faced at the very beginning. From 30,000 feet running your own business looks a hell of a lot different that on the ground or in the basement, as the case may be. Get a mentor and if you can, someone else's money to fall back on if you run out.

C'mon guys, you are better at the Internet than this. These guys explain complex topics well:

I'm actually posting this from a HIexpress in Birmingham.

Good post. Priority club is still best for me based on where I go and the available hotels. I've spent three nights in hotels this week already and 2 of them HIexpress was the only reward able option. I traveled with the COO of one of the companies I rep, I booked us at 5000 bonus point hotels each night for both rooms, that's 30k plus the standard ~3000 for using the PR card. 33k points in 3 days which equals 2 free nights is tough to come by through any other program.

I think most of the South is already fucked without you re-fucking it. I like my area, Fairhope AL, homewood (The Columbus of Birmingham), and a few parts of Atlanta. I've traveled every inch of AL, MS, LA, Western GA and the Florida panhandle and it is all bleak and depressing. I visit power plants daily and in every small town neighboring them I ask myself, why the hell do these people live here. Someday the south may adopt actual zoning best practices and advance into the 20th century... only one more to catch up.

Flying over it? We looked on Ono, didn't really dig the community, or lack there of. We've targeted Orange Beach: Terry Cove area which is just west of Ono. I miss the bustle of Columbus every day, but having to put a jacket on because it's only 70' (today) is hard to walk away from. /threadjack
