Ignas Josef Martinovics, 1755-1795, an old Franciscan, became one of the most rabid propagators of democratic ideas in Hungary; on accession of Francis II he headed a revolutionary movement, was beheaded in 1795 for a plot against the government. Gyorgy Dozsa, born in the 16th Century, raised an army from the peasants, attacked Istvan Bathory, was burned to death on an iron throne with a fiery crown on his head. Friedrich Engles, 1820-1895, a German, Socialist and associate of Karl Marx; edited several of the volumes of Das Kapital; spent time in England; took active part in founding of the International in 1864. Bela Kun's government, the Magyar Tanacskoztarsasag or Hungarian Soviet Republic (shown on the stamps) lasted only 143 days, or until some time in July of 1919, when a Socialist government came into power. NOTES: There are plenty of forgeries in the used copies of this set; the correct dates of usage were between June 24, 1919, and November 23, 1919. The entire set is known to exist imperforate.
No. 203-222
From June 24, 1919 until November 23, 1919 Bela Kun's government surcharged types A 13 with MAGYAR/ TANACS / KOZTARSASAG in 3 horizontal lines, and type A 14 with MAGYAR/TANACSKOZTARSASAG in 2 oblique lines. NOTES: There are many forgeries on these overprints.
No. 225-262
During this same period a government in opposition to the Soviet Republic government then in control of Budapest, was established and known as the National Counter Government in Szeged (a town in Hungary). This government surcharged Types A 9 and A 10 with the words in a square, MAGYAR / NEMZETI / KORMANY / SZEGED / 1919 (the translation reading Hungarian Government Szeged in 1919.) On #240 and #241 new values were prepared by an additional surcharge.
#246-258 the above overprint was applied to those formerly overprinted Koztarsasag and #239 contains an additional surcharge changing the value. William and Doris Stericker of the Austro Hungarian Philatelic society give us the following detailed information in connection with the SZEGED issues: The overprinting was started in King's Press in Szeged, but as the printing progressed, a printers' strike took place; a portion of the overprints were finished there, but since the owners of the press would not continue the work, the material was transferred to another print shop and there completed, so that the balance of the overprints were by non-professional hands and even by minor postal officials. Hence the preparation of the overprints was accomplished under considerable difficulty. This is noticeable in the overprints, since many errors occur in the text of the overprints. It is interesting that since the stamps were prepared in half-sheets in two different print shops, one may find a sheet in which the upper half (50 stamps) was done in one print shop and the lower half in another. One can see these differences in pairs from the middle of the sheet. Stamps with cinnabar or dark green were produced in the first print shop, and carmine or dark green in the second print shop. Also that values not given here with overprints or overprints in other than the given colors are proofs. They further tell us the overprint of print shop one can be recognized because the printing shows through strongly on the back. The following will give you a list of the number surcharged in the two print shops:

These are all known to exist on cover and are just as much a part of your Hungarian collection as any of the other stamps, but the warning against forgery overprints cannot be stressed too strongly.
No. 265-305A
A still further group at Temesvar seized and surcharged types A 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 with the words BANAT BACSKA 1919 for use in this section of Hungary between the evacuation by the Serbs and the Romanian occupation of that section. These surcharges are in three lines oblique, or, two words at the top of a semi circle with the 1919 at the bottom. They were surcharged too, on the formerly surcharged Koztarsasag issues.
No. 306-310
After Kun's Soviet Republic collapsed he fled, and several new governments were attempted. They could gain no headway because of the Roumanian occupation of Budapest. The evacuation of the Roumanians was finally effected under the direction of four Entente Generals sent to Budapest to protect the Hungarians. TYPE: A 13 ISSUED: November 16, 1919 Five values of A 13 were surcharged A NEMZETI / HADSEREG / BEVONULASA / 1919. XI/16. in four lines. (Entry of the National Army November 16 1919) into Budapest. These stamps were sold for two days only and were to commemorate or celebrate the Roumanian evacuation on November 14, 1919.
Admiral Nicholas Horthy, and his Army, took over the Government of Hungary in 1920 an instance of an Admiral operating a kingdom without a king.
No. 311-377
ISSUED: March 1, 1920 Types A13, A14, A9, and A10 surcharged with a sheaf of wheat and the date "1919" on a ribbon band in black. NOTES: Many forgeries exist on all of these the easiest to detect being the upstanding sheaf of wheat. On the genuine the shading lines run into the ribbon band between the "9" and the "1" of 1919, whereas on the forgery the band is plain behind all the figures 1-9-1-9. The Hungarian name of the government printing department is Magyar Kiralyi Allamy Nyomda, and all stamps after this date were prepared by this department, with any necessary engraving work being done there.

HISTORY: First commerorative issued by Hungary. Commemorated the birth of the Hungarian Novelist; a famous writer portraying life as he found it; also a great patriot and supporter of Kossuth.

No. 403-408
TYPE: A 25 ISSUED: April 1, 1926 PROCESS: Lithographed PAPER: Watermarked four double crosses PERF: 14, 15 DESIGNER: F. Helbing PURPOSE: Entire new series of postage stamps because of change in monetary rates to filler and pengo DESIGN: Crown of St. Stephen. HISTORY: This is the first time the crown has been shown alone. This crown has a very long history. It is known as the Holy Crown of St. Stephen and consists of two crowns, the upper part presented by Pope Sylvester II to St. Stephen the first King of Hungary, in about 1000, in recognition of his efforts to bring to Christianity the various tribes making up the Hungarians; the lower part was received by King Geza I, from Michael Dukas, Emperor of Byzantium, in recognition of the cultural efforts of the Hungarians. Both crowns were later welded into one. Perhaps you have wondered why the little cross on the top slopes to the left. There are many stories about this - one tells us that it was knocked sidewise in a battle; another one tells that it was a sign of servitude imposed by Charles VI as the result of an Hungarian insurrection; another one tells that Maria Theresa had the cross put in its original position, but that it began to slope again after the Revolution of 1849. If we are to believe another writer the bolt and nut which hold the cross in its place have been worn away in the course of the centuries and the authorities do not wish to renew the fastening. It is unlikely that Charles VI would attach the cross in such a position, since he and his successors were to wear the crown. It is also unlikely that Maria Theresa had the cross straightened, because she is seen wearing the crown with the cross sloping. When Kossuth fled before the imperial armies in 1849 he buried the coronation insignia and the crown on a hill near Orsova.

TYPE: A59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66 ISSUED: January 1, 1938 PROCESS: Photogravure PAPER: Watermarked double cross on pyramid PERF.: 12 PURPOSE: To commemorate the 900th anniversary of the death of St. Stephen DESIGNER: Sandor Legrady PICTURE: (A59) Pope Sylvester II and Abbot Astrik, receiving the crown, (A60) St. Stephen, (A61) St. Stephen seated on the throne, (A62) Saints Gerhardt, Emerich and Stephen teaching St. Emeric in the presence of his father, (A63) St. Stephen offering the Holy crown to the Virgin Mary, or the founding of the Hungarian Church, (A64) St. Stephen as King Stephen I, (A65) Madonna, Patroness of Hungary, (A66) The Crown of St. Stephen. HISTORY: Pope Sylvester II was Pope from 999 to 1003; he introduced the use of Arabic figures into western Europe. Stephen, born 975, died 1038, became King of Hungary in 997; in order to make Hungary a Christian nation and to establish himself as a ruler, he sent Abbot Astricus to Rome to petition Pope Sylvester II for royal dignity and for power to establish episcopal sees. Sylvester acceded to Stephen's wishes, recognizing the Magyar nationality and endowing the famed kingly crown on Stephen. Stephen was crowned with it on August 17, 1001, at Gran, his birthplace. St. Stephen's son, Emery, (Imre, Emerich (1007-1031) or St. Emery the Saint of Youth) and the latter's tutor, the Italian St. Gellert or Gerhardt, are shown. St. Emerich, the only son of Stephen, was the last great man of the Arpad family, and was drowned because of his religious beliefs. NOTE: Beginning with this 1938 set we find the words "MAGYAR KIR. POSTA" restored to the stamps of Hungary. "Kir" is the abbreviation of Kiralyi (Royal) and Magyar Kir Posta means Hungarian Royal Postage. When the Republic was declared in Hungary in November 1918, the monarchy's Kir Posta stamps were overprinted KOZTARSASAG (Republic). (153-173). When these provisionals were displaced in 1919 the word KIR was dropped and MAGYAR POSTA (Hungarian postage) used (174-197). Later in 1919 radicals came into power, with Bela Kun dominating the government, and during his regime stamps were inscribed MAGYAR TANACSKOZTARSASAG (Hungarian Soviet Republic). Admiral Horthy was made Regent under a restored monarchial constitution in 1920 and stamps inscribed MAGYAR KIR POSTA again were issued (beginning with 335). In 1925 the KIR was abandoned and MAGYARORZAG, meaning Hungarian Country, was adopted. With this 1938 set we go back again to MAGYAR KIR. POSTA, although Hungary was then a Kingdom without a king.

Facebook Surges on Huge Q4 Beat
Updated from 4:18 p.m. to include additional analysis in the third paragraph and updated share price.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) Facebook
(FB - Get Report) shares surged 8.3% to $57.96 after the world's largest social network reported fourth-quarter earnings that blew past Wall Street expectations.
The Menlo Park, Calif.-based social network earned 31 cents per share on $2.59 billion in revenue, as advertising revenue jumped 76% year-over-year to $2.34 billion. Facebook's mobile ad revenue accounted for 53% of advertising revenue, and revenue from other segments, including payments, was $241 million. Europe continued to be a huge area of expansion for Facebook, as revenue went from $538 million in the third-quarter to $727 million, up 25% sequentially.
Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters were looking for 27 cents per share on $2.33 billion in revenue.
"It was a great end to the year for Facebook," said Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook founder and CEO in a statement. "We're looking forward to our next decade and to helping connect the rest of the world." Facebook is holding a conference call at 5 p.m. to discuss the results.
Facebook ended the quarter with 1.23 billion monthly active users (MAUs), with more than 757 million daily active users (DAUs), up 22% year over year. Mobile continues to be a big driver for the company, and the company ended the quarter with 945 million MAUs, including 556 million DAUs, up 49% year over year.
Each U.S. and Canadian user drove $6.03 in average revenue for Facebook, up from $4.85 in the third quarter. The next highest region is Europe, at $2.61 in average revenue per user (ARPU).
At the end of the quarter, Facebook had $11.45 billion in cash and cash equivalents.
Shares finished the regular session lower, falling 1.6% to close at $53.53.

Vote, vote, vote for Harry Potter
Observations on votes at 16
Observations on votes at 16
by Philip Cowley Published
If you react with horror to the idea of lowering the voting age to 16, you are certainly not alone. The last reputable survey on the subject found that almost 80 per cent of the electorate was opposed.
The supposed reason for lowering the voting age is to combat declining electoral participation - especially among the young. Everyone agrees that turnout among 18- to 24-year-olds is (and has always been) significantly worse than among older people. Now the solution proposed is to include in the electorate a group whose turnout is likely to be even lower. By any standards, this is bizarre logic. Even the groups lobbying in favour of votes at 16 accept that the change could reduce turnout at the next election.
But, they argue, 16- and 17-year-olds will be socialised into voting and politicians will then have to take young people more seriously. However, you could list a whole series of groups which believe that politicians ignore them - the white working class, ethnic minorities, the poor, disabled people, small business owners, pensioners, even university lecturers - and all of these have the vote.
The "Votes At 16" website is full of examples of the supposed unfairness of the status quo: I can drive a car but not vote; I can join the forces but not vote; I pay my taxes but can't vote; I can get married but not vote - the last accompanied by a picture of a depressed-looking bride whose wedding day has clearly been ruined by the lack of the franchise.
Most of these statements are at best half-truths. You can drive from 17, not 16. You can join the forces from 16, but only with parental consent, and front-line service is avoided until 18, not least because the UK has signed the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, which defines childhood as lasting until 18. People under 18 require parental consent to be married in England and Wales and (perhaps thankfully) vanishingly few do so. In short, society does not view 16-year-olds as fully adult - and denying them the vote is therefore not unfair but the logical consequence of the role they play in society.
Arguments about "no taxation without representation" founder on the high percentage of children who already pay VAT (are those who spend their pocket money on sweets or CDs to be granted the vote on those grounds?) and on the small percentage of 16-year-olds who pay income tax. The last census found that 89 per cent of 16-year-olds and 68 per cent of 17-year-olds were students.
Given that the case for votes at 16 is so muddled and incoherent, why is the government floating the idea? And, much more interestingly, why now?
In July, the Electoral Commission laun-ched a consultation on the age at which you can stand for election (currently 21) as well as on the voting age. It finished in October. Throughout the consultation, the government remained silent. It has chosen to make its views public at the least useful moment - a few weeks before the report is due out in the new year.
The obvious reason is that ministers want to divert our attention from other potential news stories. The Observer of 7 December led on the apparent conversion to votes at 16 of Lord Falconer, the Secretary of State for Constitutional Affairs, rather than on his problems with Lords reform; the following morning's Today programme interview with Falconer was similarly distracted.
Votes at 16 also allows the government to look "progressive" - at least to some people - and vaguely "pro-youth", although there is no evidence of any overwhelming demand for the vote among under-18s.
Whatever the Electoral Commission recommends, the government now can't lose. If the commission backs votes at 16, the government looks forward-thinking and ahead of the game. If it recommends no change, the government will have shown itself to be open-minded and consultative, always willing to consider exciting ways of empowering people; the stuffy old bureaucrats at the commission will get the blame for not proceeding.

A good example of this Sony approach is their Memory Stick format that has irked quite a large number of Sony fans who wished at times that the Japanese company might be a bit more lenient and include SD memory card support in some of their devices.

As part of the effort to curb the cyber threats that both President Barack Obama and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel have addressed recently, the Army released a 16-page handbook this month that outlines security strategies.
The handbook includes information about phishing threats, explains why accessing Army networks with personal devices is prohibited and describes what to do in the event of a security breach, among other topics.
Click to get the handbook
"This handbook is designed to provide leaders the information and tools to address today's complex security challenges," the document states. "It is also a quick reference for managing cybersecurity issues that will help ensure that soldiers, civilians and contractors know their responsibilities for daily practices that will protect information and our IT capabilities."
Commanders will also train personnel on cybersecurity responsibilities during Army Cybersecurity Awareness Week in October.

Lapid and Bennett at Knesset swear in 370. (photo credit:Marc Israel Sellem/The Jerusalem Post)
The only thing that I can do better than being foreign minister, says Yair Lapid, is to be chairman of the opposition. Lapid does not fear the opposition. In fact, the opposite might be true. If he were to join the government, it would be hard to meet expectations.He has made promises, and now he would need to follow through with them. In Binyamin Netanyahu's government, so far not one person has actually kept his or her promise (including Netanyahu himself).With Netanyahu, it always ends the same way: Everyone is frustrated, their hopes dashed, not understanding how this happened to them, how Netanyahu did this to them, how time flew by and yet nothing progressed. In the opposition, on the other hand, Lapid believes he would blossom. And there is basis to this belief.He's ambitious, he knows how to use the media to his benefit, he is eloquent and he is headstrong. Lapid will accomplish with 19 seats what Tzipi Livni couldn't with 28. He will make Netanyahu's life miserable, and in the next election he will aim for the prime minister's seat (as long as he abandons the complacency he has been showing since election day).Yet we must not forget that we are in the midst of a game of psychological warfare. Over the next few weeks, we should expect a spectacular show of fireworks, stories that will cause wild explosions, one after another. A wild poker game in which everyone will try to cheat each other in an effort to neutralize, block, pressure and create the illusion that every connection between the game and reality is completely random.The alliance is the basis of the current situation – the one between Yair Lapid and Naftali Bennett. The one that is firm and alive, despite the fact that the haredim (ultra-Orthodox) are gritting their teeth and Netanyahu is wringing his hands.This pact was not built upon one meeting between Lapid and Bennett, but from a series of gatherings. It began long before the election.At the time, Bennett was in a bit of a panic. Polls were giving Netanyahu 36-37 seats, Lapid was breaking a sweat in an effort to reach double digits, and Netanyahu and Avigdor Liberman's lives were looking more comfortable than ever.Bennett was irrelevant. In desperation, Bennett decided that Lapid was his ticket into the coalition. They were both young, of the same generation, and understood the same concepts.It was just a small kippa sitting on top of Bennett's head that separated them, but not really. The chemistry between the two of them was immediate and all encompassing.Lapid and Bennett are like brothers (until further notice). This was suitable for Lapid, too. Since he believes that the chance of reaching a permanent settlement with the Palestinians in the near future is not high, Bennett was the perfect ally. Lapid's real goal is to solve the issue of the haredim who, according to him, are sucking the life out of Israel without giving anything in return. They are receiving without contributing.Lapid believes that most of the middle class's troubles come from this situation. The haredim must return to their correct size, they must leave the coalition, and disconnect themselves from the flow of nourishment they are receiving from the state. They must go outside to dry out. The dairy cow must be slaughtered.And, oh yeah – they must be drafted into the Israel Defense Forces.Following the election, this alliance was made official. The two of them sat together and formulated the wording. Without any paperwork or signed documents. This was the new style of politics, the two of them believed. No need for lawyers.They gave each other their word. A pact is a pact. They came to an agreement on political issues.Bennett's red line was the evacuation of settlements. Except for this, he has no interest in political matters.And what about outposts? Amona, for example. Lapid brought up the subject in a direct manner and Bennett dealt with it head-on. Bennett is committed to the rule of law. If the Supreme Court rules that an outpost should be dismantled, then apparently that's what needs to be done. So they are unified on this subject.However, this cannot be said about the draft issue. Bennett is not 100 percent in agreement with Lapid's platform in this area. Bennett believes that the haredi population should be drafted – not in a blitz, but wisely. If too much force is used, it won't work. It is preferable to use economic sanctions, to let them know that they will not receive even one shekel from the state if they don't do their part.Lapid is willing to be flexible on numbers. According to his platform, within five years there will be only 400 prodigies who will sit and learn Torah. All the rest will join the ranks of the IDF or will do national service.Lapid knows that 400 is an unrealistic, draconian number. He would be willing to raise it to around 1,000, maybe even higher. This is a respectable number for a new induction group.However, the draft issue will not keep Lapid and Bennett apart. They have agreed to disagree on this issue at this stage. When I checked again Thursday before Lapid's meeting with Netanyahu, I found that the pact was still alive and kicking. The desperate attempts by the haredim (through national-religious rabbis) and by Netanyahu (through the many temptations he has placed before Bennett) to disband it, have not succeeded.From Lapid's camp I heard the following: Yair absolutely loves Naftali.Period. They are friends and they trust each other. Yair gambled on Naftali and does not believe that their pact will be violated. And if it will be? Then Yair will stay in the opposition and will no longer trust Naftali. But he's not worried.And what about Naftali? Naftali absolutely loves Yair, too. Period. There is no way to separate the two.Most of their goals are the same. Naftali believes that it's time someone finally did something to take care of this country. So write this down: The new age of politics is winning so far. However, the game has just begun.Translated by Hannah Hochner.

Homeland Security Assistance for Nonprofits:
Department of Homeland Security Delegated Selection of Nonprofits to Selected States and States Used a Variety of Approaches to Determine Awards
GAO-06-663R: Published: May 22, 2006. Publicly Released: May 22, 2006.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-8757
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The fiscal year 2005 Department of Homeland Security (DHS) appropriation set aside $25 million, of the $885 million appropriated for the Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI), for grants to eligible nonprofit organizations that the Secretary of Homeland Security determined to be at high risk of international terrorist attack. This letter responds to the conference report that directed GAO to review the validity of the threat and risk factors used by DHS to allocate discretionary grants to nonprofit organizations in fiscal years 2003, 2004, and 2005. Based on our review of DHS's risk methodology for fiscal year 2006, the criteria in the fiscal year 2005 grant application kit, and conversations with Congressional staff about the conference report, we addressed the following objectives: (1) DHS's methodology for determining risk for urban areas and the nonprofit grant program, and DHS implementation of the program; (2) states' efforts to implement the nonprofit grant program in fiscal year 2005, and (3) whether subgrants were made to nonprofits in fiscal years 2003 and 2004, when funds were not specifically set aside for nonprofits.
To implement the fiscal year 2005 nonprofit grant program, DHS used a two-tiered approach, first determining the urban areas in which nonprofits would be eligible to apply for the funds and then providing guidance to the states on how to allocate the funds to applicants. In the first stage, DHS determined that in the absence of information from federal law enforcement about risk to specific nonprofit organizations, those nonprofits that were located in the highest risk urban areas were most at risk of international terrorist attack. In the second stage of the process, DHS delegated to the states the authority to make subgrants to organizations, but required them to use six risk criteria provided by DHS to determine organizations at high risk of international terrorist attack. These criteria addressed the three elements of risk--threat, vulnerability, and consequences. The criteria did not require actual threats against facilities within the United States. Individual awards were not to exceed $100,000 and were for target hardening only. DHS retained responsibility for managing the grant program and for monitoring the awards it made to the states with the nonprofit funding. The 13 states and the District of Columbia implemented the program using differing approaches. They interpreted the DHS guidance as providing flexibility in implementing the program. They used several approaches in working with their urban areas and required nonprofit applicants to provide varying amounts of risk-related information and organizational capacity information. The threat information provided by the nonprofit applicants varied in specificity and the degree to which it referred to threats from international terrorist groups; none provided reports of threats or attacks by international terrorist organizations against the specific facilities of the nonprofit applicants that were located within the United States. The vulnerability information included some professional assessments. Some applicants claimed proximity to critical infrastructure; others cited the presence of particular individuals as indications of vulnerability. Information on potential consequences generally related to the size of the organization and included number of employees or persons served as indicators of potential consequences. The states and urban areas generally relied on law enforcement to assess threat and vulnerability. Some of the states and urban areas developed formal methods for assessing the nonprofit organizations' risk and capacity to implement the proposed projects. About 400 awards were made, out of 600 applications. Most recipients were religious organizations. Medical and social services were the second and third largest categories. The average amount awarded was about $62,000. State and urban area officials reported a range of views about target hardening for nonprofit organizations. Finally, officials reported that they generally lacked the capacity to conduct the type of vulnerability assessments needed to determine the relative risk to nonprofit organizations within their areas and that in implementing the nonprofit grant program, they needed additional guidance and support from DHS; implementing the program added additional unreimbursable administrative costs; and they varied in the degree to which they could determine that the program reduced the overall risk of terrorist attack to their area. About 18 UASI subgrants were made to nonprofits in fiscal years 2003 and 2004. No funding was set aside specifically for nonprofits in the DHS appropriations for those years. Nonprofits were eligible for subgrants, but many states were unaware that they could make subgrants to nonprofits. The subgrants that were made to nonprofits were generally for citizen preparedness and capability enhancement for emergency response organizations. None were for target hardening.

Do you have dreams of running or doing things you did before your illness? Answer here" href="http://s-60cri-40982.sgizmo.com/" target="_blank">> Answer "When I was first diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 1998, I would dream at night that I was running. Then morning would approach and somewhere between sleep and awake I would realize that my stiff muscles could hardly allow me to rise from my bed. It wouldn't be a day for running--that was for sure. I don't dream of moving like my former self much anymore. Perhaps where ever dreams may start, they have caught up to the reality of the frame they are carried in. But I have often told my family that when I get to heaven I am going to run. And one of my favorite images is of running to meet my loved ones who have arrived in heaven before me, and later running to greet my loved ones who arrive in heaven after me." |

I'm glad to see this point keep popping up. There is something to it.
Look for someone that doesn't have a reaction or less of one.
I think it's incorrect to focus on the man in blue. He is just performing his role, just like nearly
on-set (screen) at the finish line.
If you truly want someone with less of a reaction, or a suspicious one, the woman in green is your gal. She runs right by the explosion and her only reaction is to cover her ears,
making the "smooth" backwards toss motion. Then she glances back to check out the scene briefly, before continuing her steady jog.
But it wasn't enough to keep this big grin off her face! [
link to i.imgur.com
By the way, the only reason we got a glimpse of this is because the woman's "shield" (the guy in bright orange jogging in front of her) ducked too low during the toss. Before that he was keeping her very well hidden, as rehearsed.
There is something important that I think this video has wrong. And I haven't heard anyone else mentioning it.
I'm not sure if it's conclusive that the police officer kicked the detonator. It's possible. But I am of the opinion that the old man transferred it inside a black bag/beanie he was carrying.
Next, there is
hard proof
that the 2nd explosion occurred at the EXACT MOMENT when the old man was receiving help from "a man in yellow." They both held the black bag, and potentially whatever was inside.
See this image:
link to i.imgur.com
] and more clearly here [
link to i.imgur.com
Now this may seem normal, he's helping him up right? Wrong. Immediately after the 2nd explosion, the man in yellow stands back for this photo-op:
link to i.imgur.com
The old man can be seen here, being walked away by someone else, with his black bag in hand [
link to i.imgur.com
] Reportedly, he walked back to his hotel unhelped...
Here is an album with a few other interesting images. Also note the "AP photo elimination notice" for 2 of the images. The AP has attempted to restrict republishing of these photos. Why? Well for one, they show the detonation and the methodical staging/filming of it.
link to imgur.com
Misc information
More pics of woman:
- [
link to imgur.com
Here she is just seconds before the attack, getting into position (passing the old man in orange -- at that pace, wouldn't she have passed him long ago):
link to www.liveleak.com
Frames from video, highlighting the handoff:

The jogger in green:
- name Peggy Boren
- runner #18430
- race results [
link to i.imgur.com
- a video/interview where peggy describes the day as "near perfection" [
link to www.kutv.com
The old man:
- name Bill Iffrig
- runner #19200
- race results [
link to i.imgur.com
] (apparently he finished )
- just google his name, he whored himself out for interviews/articles all over the place
The shield in bright orange, let's call him Orange Agent:
- name ??
- runner #27405
- race results: none listed. this is also more runners than participated in the marathon. I didn't find any runner #s near this high.
[bREMAINING QUESTIONS
Now, a skeptic still should ask -- "why the fuck would any of this make sense? Why would the woman throw a detonator to a man behind her?"
Here are a few explanations I can think of:
- first it must be quite an HONOR to illuminati scum to press the button. They seemed to thoroughly their roles, including the old man in yellow who "helped" detonate the 2nd bomb with his bff iffrig.
- hiding in plain view is quite effective. these actors jumped right on tv to give multiple interviews / alibis right away, and they made sure to explain any inconsistencies they noticed. After all, what the news reports is FACT right?? After they play their part, the manhunt for patsies began...
- another possibility is the bomb/detonator are some kind of proprietary/private technology, and by handing it off, they are able to return it through the proper channels

Following the success of -broken- (3.5 for 1 night's work!), I decided to take the criticism (not enough of a story), and build upon it. And so this was born.
All music by nubbinownz.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Moving indeed!
Coupled with nubbin's music, this creates a nice, emotional work of art. It's not the prettiest i've seen, and the characters are almost reminiscent of Cyanide and Happiness.
Well, good job. You finished my day. :D 9/10 and 5/5.
Thanks :D
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
I know this moved me because I watched the whole thing. Nice music and better timing than I think I might have expected.
OK, thanks :)
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
No matter how bad things are, thay could be worse. I liked the music, fit well with the story.
Thanks for the review!
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
A sad place to call home...
That was a sad movie!
The art direction and the background was a good touch. The music was perfect as well. there was not any voice acting in this, but I feel it was not necessary. Though i hate to say it, I agree with some of the other comments, below. Some of the timing done is a little slow, and I wasn't sure there if the movie was going to end or keep going.
Overall, you got the main effect of the movie. I commend you for that, and I hope you make even better pieces down the road.
Thanks for the review. The timing was hard to get right, as I had to fit it around the music...

About Rubi Isleib
If you're looking for something different for your next trip, why not consider adventure travel? Adventure travel has many varieties, but what makes it distinctive is that you get to be an active participant in the world around you and not just a spectator. Whether you like speed, water, snow or caves, you can find an adventure travel activity and destination that's tailor made for you. This article is designed to inform you on some of the fascinating places you can go and things you can do. There are all sorts of adventure travels and some trips are tougher than others. Prior to signing up for an adventure that requires you to do a lot of physical things, make certain that you and all of the people traveling with you are well prepared for it. There is a tremendous variance between watching an exhilarating event on TV versus seeing it in your mind's eye and actually going out and giving it a shot. You need to be in above average shape for activities, like riding a bicycle all day long, mountain climbing at high elevations and quite a few other endeavors. If you have any doubt, consult your physician. If you're not in the best shape, you may want to start working out now and postpone your trip a while. Biking trips are offered all over the world, and they can allow you to be out in nature as you explore new places. Keep in mind that riding a bike all day is quite demanding, so make sure you're in condition for the trip you choose. You can find many exciting bike tours in Asian countries such as Vietnam, as well as ones offered throughout Europe. There are also plenty of opportunities to travel by bike in North America, whether in the U.S or Canada. You only have to choose your country or region, and you can probably find a bike tour that goes through it. One type of adventure travel that can be especially rewarding are trips where you volunteer. This is sometimes called volun-tourism, where you not only see a new place but also get involved in local communities and help out. These trips may involve building structures, archeological digs or perhaps helping with an environmental issue. Volunteers are needed throughout the world, and there are companies that arrange trips of varying durations to match travelers with situations. Whether you want to do this by yourself or bring your family, there are all kinds of possibilities for volunteering. These days, adventure travel is trendier than it ever has been and you can find businesses that operate all kinds of trips like this. Despite whether you are partaking on an adventure travel trip with your whole family, your significant other or as a solo journey, there is a trip that is right for you. It is critical to know exactly what the trip entails and if everyone planning to travel is ready for it. In this article, we have reviewed a few different types of trips like these and you can see, if you do your own research, that there are many more adventurous opportunities to be had. tent footprint

the rendering of a Hebrew word meaning "glittering" (1 Sam. 17:5, 38). The same word in the plural form is translated "habergeons" in 2 Chr. 26:14 and Neh. 4:16. The "harness" (1 Kings 22:34), "breastplate" (Isa. 59:17), and "brigandine" (Jer. 46:4), were probably also corselets or coats of mail. (See ARMOUR.)

After 195000 miles, the steering wheel became stiffer and it was hard to make a simple turn on a street. Moreover, there was a slow power steering leak and OCCASIONALLY, the steering wheel would not re-coil (it wouldn't turn back to where the wheels would be straight). The steering wheel sticks and stays in one place after making a turn (I have to manually return the steering wheel back straight). I noticed that the U-joint behind the firewall was full of gunk and I decided to clean it (sprayed it with brake cleaner, followed by penetrating oil - this is the dumbest thing I did in my life!) and now the steering wheel almost never coils back to the straight position after making a turn. The rack and pinion was changed (due to the leak I mentioned earlier) and this solved the leak problem but did not affect the steering wheel issue. My question is, can I try to grease this U-joint at this point or do I have to replace it? (it is $400 - available from Toyota only!)

Out Of The Park Baseball doesn't simulate a sport, it simulates a world. Tracking franchises, coaches, leagues, rosters and rules, the game is capable of generating a fictional world built around America's Pastime. Previous releases have been among the most impressively simulated and highly regarded sports management games ever released, and the new season's release doesn't disappoint, despite some undercooked new features. Here's wot I think.

Superior Bowl: Beyond The Sideline Football
By Adam Smith on February 3rd, 2014.
I spend a great deal of time and energy trying to convince British friends to give American sports a chance, which makes it extremely annoying when only one team shows up for the year's biggest NFL game. To be fair to the Denver Broncos, they did join the Seahawks in New Jersey last night but had shot themselves in the foot within 12 seconds and spent the remainder of the Super Bowl rolling around on the floor clutching the wound. No matter though – unless you're a Broncos fan, in which case 'ouch' – because something of potentially great significance is happening in the world of American Football. The peerless OOTP Developments are working on Beyond the Sideline, a sim of the cowhide-kickin' sport, and it sounds marvellous.
Bat-To-Ball: Out Of The Park Baseball 13
By Adam Smith on April 10th, 2012.
I may be the one of the few men in England who cares that the new baseball season has just begun over in UnitedStatesVille, USA but I'm surely not the only sports simulation fan to be intrigued by the release of Out of the Park Baseball 13. As with many sports games, the annual releases tend to involve incremental improvements, roster changes and the addition of minor features rather than radical alterations.I'll list the tweaks to the formula below but, more importantly, I'll tell you why the series matters and why baseball itself is such a wonderful gift to lovers of all things simulated.
