Good morning, all. Ah yes. Happy news. One dead terrorist in Boston. One down, one to go.
8:07 am

yaaa for ru!
8:07 am

Just hope they get him without further incident
8:08 am
crosshair

i hope so as well.want him alive
8:08 am
Judi

Yes. That was some wild chase. Murdered police officer, bombs, etc. Rat bastard.
8:09 am
crosshair

from the clip it seems they had to go back and make safe som that did not explode as well.scary
8:09 am
smores

Agree crossy
8:10 am
smores

I have a feeling that he won't be taken alive...I hope he is though...too many unanswered questions otherwise.
8:11 am
crosshair

for those looking for a half decent internet news site,i recommend www.cnn.com.it is concise,a nice blend of printed story and video,well laid out and easy to use and most of all they do not go overboard with thigs.they just report the facts .they have a seperate section for opinions etc where things can be "blue skyed"
8:12 am
Judi

Then again, should he be killed while attempting to flee or harm other officers or agents, that's okay too. Actually, it would be much more economical - financially and legally.
8:12 am
smores

thanks for the info crossy :)
8:12 am
crosshair

like you say,there are questions that need answering but if he is determined to die,then so be it as long as no one else is hurt in the process
8:13 am
smores

Yes Judi I do hate the thought of an expensive trial for the bastard
8:14 am
crosshair

it would be goog however to know if the brothers were working alone or as part of a group.that in itself could save lives and money in the future
8:14 am
Judi

Eesh. Our power keeps winking out. Very annoying.
8:14 am
smores

okay...catch him alive, get some answers and then he gets killed in jail awaiting trial.
8:14 am
crosshair

lol,there ya go,smores
8:15 am
smores

Is it storming Judi?
8:15 am
Judi

Best case scenario, smores!
8:16 am
Judi

No storms. We are right next to the municipal power company. Who knows what they're doing in the neighborhood.
8:16 am
smores

I just hope they catch him without any one else getting hurt
8:17 am
crosshair

i am reading a older book set in the 70's it is a arthur haily book on the intimate details of the inner goings on of a large power company.makes me want to run and get a wind turbine and solar panels and get off the grid!
8:18 am
crosshair

and i checked.12 grand will get you comfortably off the grid lol
8:18 am
smores

:) are there 3-eyed fish and such
8:18 am
Judi

No kidding, Crossy. One of our neighbors has a smallish wind turbine mounted on his back deck. My husband keeps eyeing it. I told him to go over and talk to the neighbor about it. It looks like a fun project.
8:19 am
smores

yes, that would be nice
8:19 am
Judi

I'll never understand why some people are opposed to wind farms. I think wind turbines are rather elegant looking.
8:20 am
crosshair

indeed judi.you do not need the big 60 foot tower with the blade on it any longer,they have small vertical turbines that look a lot like a jet engine turned on end with 2 sides open to allow wind to pass through to the blades and turn things.they can be mounted almost anywhere
8:20 am
smores

sounds cool
8:21 am
Judi

Yes, have seen those too. They are lovely. Very sculptural.
8:21 am
crosshair

they are about half the size of a compact car
8:21 am
crosshair

maybe a tad larger but not much more
8:21 am

I agree Judi...why they aren't opposed to greedy power company and the damage to the environment
8:22 am

hi all..was car here today? or trif?
8:22 am
Judi

I have to ask those people, would you really prefer living under a high-tension power line that is probably frying your brain cells, or a noiseless wind turbine?
8:23 am
Judi

On the other hand, my husband works for one of those greedy power companies. Oy.
8:24 am
crosshair

there is talk again of reviving the older set up of local power stations that are not grid related.just for supplying the town or city you are in,with optional set up to flow/sell to grid if need arises.become more independat

our old original power station from the turn of the last century still stands.it is a restaraunt now

Hi, all! Every time I drive through the area just outside Palm Springs and see the field of wind turbines I'm impressed and it's actually rather attractive. I wonder if the amount of space they take up is a reason there aren't more?

It was extremely challenging as he bullied everyone. It took 3 yrs for the nightmares to stop.

After I recognized his diagnosis, everything made sense--everything he said and did. I knew I had to leave. Sadly, people continue to work with and for him, too weak to escape.
8:52 am

sounds like a nightmare you can't wake up from scrabs. glad you got out okay. i've had to deal with one myself

That's screwy, Scrabbs. Now, if his chosen field had been psychology or psychiatry, he never would have passed the pre-requisite 1 year therapy prior to being licensed.

Last word. Need clue for the dr5/22.

I told 2 other partners--2 passive, submissive women that remain there. Sad.

Did you ever tip off the AMA about him, Scrabbs? A doctor with a God complex is a very dangerous thing.

Here is how little the media researches their information. As soon as the names of the suspects were released, I did a Google search on one. I found that the surviving one had been awarded a scholarship in 2011. And yet the media was reporting that the two suspects had only been in the country one year.

same with the apples -- grown along fence lines like grapes to the optimum 2.5" diameter size and picked whether they are ready or not.

Hello, TK..by the way i thought you had gone...BR was on here the other day :-)
12:35 pm

hiya zooz and Kate :) Thanks, I just had dinner after a pretty intense day of therapy. I could do with a short and sweet grid.
12:35 pm
zoozzoom

You should breeze through it, Sprite :-)
12:36 pm
TraderKate

i did go, but had to return. thanks zooz, i was a bit worried. hope he's doing okay.

and by this i mean this suspect at large, not the grid.
12:40 pm
TraderKate

hi hurshy :) don't stress, it's friday... and there'll ALWAYS be another grid
12:40 pm
sprite

you lost me, hursh... sorry. What do you mean?
12:40 pm
zoozzoom

Yes i would hate to be in that situation, Hurshy..hope they get him soon.
12:40 pm
hurshy

the situation in the boston area is a bit crazy
12:41 pm
hurshy

and then they said he MIGHT have got on the last train they let out of boston this morning
12:41 pm
hurshy

probably not
12:41 pm
hurshy

they stopped the train but
12:41 pm
sprite

ah ok! Sorry. Sounds very stressful indeed.
12:41 pm
hurshy

they were also checking the video surveillance from the stations in providence, new london, and HERE, in case he got off before they stopped it.
12:41 pm
zoozzoom

I heard one has been shot dead.but the other is still at large.
12:41 pm
TraderKate

they are reporting that they are planning a controlled demolition of the cordoned off house...
12:42 pm
hurshy

yes one killed in shootout with police but
12:42 pm
hurshy

it is stressing me out that they haven't found the other one
12:42 pm
hurshy

i feel really bad for the people in watertown, where they are searching for him house to house and everyone is just locked in.
12:42 pm
hurshy

this is more bizarre than the incident itself. sometimes there are bombings and shootings but this manhunt and the way it is going is rather unprecedented in my memory at least.
12:42 pm
zoozzoom

Yes i have been watching it on CNN
12:43 pm
zoozzoom

I find it strange how there was a car chase ..yet one still manages to escape.
12:44 pm
hurshy

yeah, it's all very confusing
12:44 pm
TraderKate

do you have good coverage of it on the bbc? cbc (cdn. national broadcaster) is running live, they did have some bbc feed too
12:45 pm

That recipe reminds me of "Trailer Trash Strawberry Shortcake". You split a bunch of Twinkies in half and covered them with fresh strawberries and whipped cream.
3:31 pm
TraderKate

excellent pippin. with any luck therre will be medial and your peepers will be covered as well
3:32 pm
MollyL

You can make Cos's dessert with a layer of graham cracker crumbs, a layer of the cream cheese mixture, a layer of strawberries, then repeat the layers. It makes nice parfaits.
3:32 pm
pippingeek

molly, i did a recipe a couple easters ago that was "pretzel salad" - double-strength strawberry jello mixed with frozen strawberries, the base was baked butter and pretzel and sugar, and the top was cream cheese and cool whip

in both those cases i think the older generations got the better genes. or at least personalities
3:46 pm

is he that short, or are you tall? i really liked him in the west wing :)

Cos I said that Charlie was probably the best looking man I ever set eyes on, and I was bombarded with all the hideous stuff he ever did. I didn't have a deep and/or meaningful conversation with him, I just salivated. :-(

In my opinion.
3:58 pm

Too lazy to Google 'Rush'. What did they sing?
4:01 pm

Probably their best known is "Tom Sawyer". It's a shame, I love Neil Peart, their drummer, but Geddy Lee's voice is like nails on a chalkboard and their sound is not my style.

Rush is sort of the quintessential "prog-rock" band. Not my cuppa tea, but boy do they have rabid fans

I'd suffer and drink Scotch if that was all that was going, but it would be torture to have to listen to an entire Rush album.

4:21 pm

It was cheap. It seemed like a good idea at the time. :-(
4:22 pm
MollyL

It seemed like a good idea at the time...that is what my friend says about marrying her first husband. She also describes it as a "temporary lapse of reason".
4:25 pm

Rofl! Describes my first husband perfectly! Cheap. Seemed like a good idea. Minor flaws magnified x10. Yep!! When you're coming to Ireland, take that friend with you. I love him/her already.

CBS is interviewing a friend of the terrorist suspect, a college student, and every other word is "like". Ugh.

5:18 pm
72 Temple Owl

as awful as the bombing is , west texas is worse. if you can imagine. just heartbreaking.
5:20 pm

And the stuff that blew in Texas is what McVeigh used to bomb the Murrah Building in Oklahoma.
5:20 pm
72 Temple Owl

yes, who can forget that awful awful day...
5:25 pm
MollyL

The suspect was last seen fleeing on foot from the SUV that was hijacked. Seems likely he is still in the area, but who knows.
5:26 pm
72 Temple Owl

perhaps he blew himself up somewhere.
5:27 pm

As many press conferences as there have been, there is a lot the police and FBI are not disclosing. And with good reason.

5:45 pm

We were at Dana Farber in Boston today. Got locked down. Made my quarterly check-up quick as there were only few patients. We got in before they shut down.
5:50 pm

Lock down is frightening, but the safest thing in situations like this. We had massive lock down in the area the first day the DC Snipers struck.
5:50 pm

I actually felt very safe

It's very frightening for parents when their kids are locked down in school. Fortunately, Boston area elementary schools are on break this week.

It must be terrifying for parents!!!!
5:54 pm
mamcitadbh

Thanks for the happy birthday gift in Word whomp the other day, smores. Tried sending one in return and it just kept failing!!!!!
5:55 pm
mkg

my take is that these young muslim youth are listening to umams who are radicals. they are inciting the young. i have hear before how the parents are so upset by their childrens acts. we have so many imams in the u.s. who are inciting. remember the man who shot and killed on an army base and he was a disciple of the imam in northern va? what i wonder is at what point do we lock up these imams? but then that is not freedom of speech. very tough tightrope we walk on.
5:55 pm
mkg

i am referring to the two boys who did the bombing in boston, one who is dead already.
5:56 pm

sorry to be so verbose. i feel so bad for muslim parents of kids when this happens. they feel their kids are safe in the u.s.

5:56 pm

You are most welcome mama...wasn't sure if it went through :)

This just goes to show how bad the news coverage is. The men in question are not Muslim, they are from Chechnya/Russia.

Nothing that has been reported in the national news (which I have been following all day) has linked these suspects to Muslims.

so so sad.
6:06 pm

Again, nothing has been said about the two suspects being Muslim. This is how bad rumors get started.
6:06 pm

i saw a you tube once where muslim parents in belgium are ringing their hands over their kids who want to rape and kill infidels. where do they get this? evidently the arab media has men telling the youth that to rape and murder a non muslim is good and they will be blessed in heaven. it is so sad.
6:07 pm
mkg

molly, go see the videos in washington post, and NY times. the uncle spoke to the media and say he is islamic and that the religion is not the problem. what is the problem is these very radical factions. they arent good in any religion or in any society.

i wish that in the us and elsewhere mental health care was given free to all. maybe then we would have fewer incidence. but i also dont think anyone needs assault weapons or an arsenal in their home. and we must monitor and demand accountability from the gun sellers. if i have ten guns and want another, perhaps that shouldnt be allowed............not sure what to say.

6:21 pm
lynxxx

I don't think mental care is the answer to stop mass killings - who on earth is going to be able to identify them let alone get them to 'take' treatment. It would be easier to just lock up everty yound man aged 15 to 35 - they seem to be the ones that go on these sprees. That - and of course tightening all guns laws and permits.

i know, molly, but i do understand why we are hated. the world has become americanized and they hate that. think of that perspective. not that that would ever justify violence
7:09 pm
glittzy

don't you wonder that when they see the prosperity and the fact that we are not starving and can take care of our families that they would think "oh wow" I would love this and just take care of themselves???
7:09 pm
MollyL

I don't understand why America is hated. I really don't. If countries have become "Americanized" they have allowed that to happen. I will never stand for anti-American sentiment. We have been too good to to other countries and to people wanting to immigrate here to put up with crap like that.
7:09 pm
glittzy

countries become Americanized because they want the "freedoms" we enjoy.
7:10 pm
glittzy

agreed. I believe we should not keep giving $$ to countries who promote terrorism. Its unbelievable.
7:11 pm
72 Temple Owl

just saying i can see another POV. i hate that when one goes to any city one sees the same hain stores, malls, local color and harm mostly gone. i find a parallel
7:12 pm
glittzy

understood
7:13 pm
MollyL

You have a right to your opinion TO. And there are a lot of people who agree with similar sentiments.
7:14 pm
72 Temple Owl

i just want this over. i don't think anyone will be sitting down with this guy to find out his motives.
7:15 pm
MollyL

I think there is some concern that this is bigger than these two men. If so, taking this guy alive could shed light on that.
7:16 pm
72 Temple Owl

oh yes. but unless they use a medium,l i don't think anyone will get that chance.
7:16 pm
glittzy

Yes, since their native country is different than most terrorists that have hit us, it is raising questions. I think Boston has done a fine job in finding these guys.
7:19 pm
glittzy

boy I am finding this a rough grid.
7:19 pm
MollyL

I agree. The Boston Police Department and other surrounding police departments have done a stand up job.
7:19 pm
72 Temple Owl

isn't it just astounding? there really is no such thing as privacy any more. not that anyone is complaining right now.
7:22 pm
MollyL

I'll take this opportunity to say that I'm proud of my country, I'm proud of the forces who protect us and I find it offensive when anyone finds it appropriate to make snide comments about America or Americans. And sadly, that happens in this chat a lot. That is one of the times I turn chat off.
7:23 pm

It is terrible what the people in Boston, MA have had to endu4/6. The 2 te 6/18ists in Boston had some ne 5/16 detonating two bombs! They demonstrated pu 4/6 evil. Then they tried to be du5/16s and du 4/7 the cops, but were unsuccessful. One suspect has been pe 4/6anently eliminated after and inte5/10 showdown with cops and the other was captured.Now the FBI will probably try to pu 4/8 some more information from the suspect as they continue their investigation. Du4/6 it! Hubby wants the computer. He says I have ke4/9 the computer from him long enough. If I don't give it to him,he will er5/14 like a volcano. He always wre 4/9s my babble time. He is so ru4/6 when he kicks me off the computer.I did not edit my story so there might be some er5/10s. I am going to get off my ru4/6 and go watch "Revenge of the Ne4/s".
