    Solar Hot Water in Virginia

    August 12th, 2008

    If you didn’t know, federal incentives are in place to receive tax credit for use of solar hot water in Virginia. What is solar hot water you may ask? It is the process of using the sun’s energy to provide your home or office with residential or commercial hot water. It is one of the many popular applications of solar thermal technologies.

    You can do your part by becoming a more eco-friendly home or office by switching to solar hot water today. By contacting your local SRCC certified solar hot water dealer, you can have them install solar thermal collectors that will provide you with cheap, clean, hot water. You will notice a huge difference in your electrical bill when you cut out the energy required to heat up your domestic hot water.

    These solar thermal systems also have applications in both radiant floor heating and even solar HVAC applications, but currently only for commercial applications. If you are interested in using solar hot water in your home or office, make sure to get in touch with a green company, such as a solar hot water dealer, in your area.

    Let nature and technology work together for you in Spotsylvania, Virginia today.


    “Last Warning” This!

    June 19th, 2008

    In the wake of September 11th, 2001 we were warned. We were warned by al-Qaida about a continuing “storm of airplanes” and other hideous fates that were going to befall us. We were warned about how al-Qaida would keep terrorizing us on American soil and how there was no hope of escape. Years later what has al-Qaida been able to do?

    Granted with our porous borders it is possible that there are many al-Qaida operatives here in the States just waiting to strike us. And we know that since 9/11 with added security measures and vigilant patriots we have turned up several cells and plots. Yet the next massive attack has not happened.

    On March 10th Rakan Ben Williams, “al-Qaida undercover soldier” as he calls himself issued to the U.S. a “last warning”. His statements were bold.

    “there will be no one to analyze and investigate, because the mind and the heart will be unable to comprehend it. … This will not be a single operation, but two; one bigger than the other, but we will begin with the big one and postpone the bigger one, in order to see [how] diligent the American people is [in preserving] its life. If it chooses life, [it must] carry out the demands of the Muslims, and if it chooses death, then we are its best perpetrators.”

    ——-

    “Let me now inform you why we opted to inform you about the two operations and your inability to stop them before they are carried out. The reason is simple: You cannot uncover or stop them except by letting them be carried out. Furthermore, the best you could do would be to accelerate the day of carrying out the operations. In other words, if we schedule the operation to take place tomorrow, the best you could do is to make it happen today.”

    ——-

    “This indeed is a sweet situation to be in. It is a win-win all the way for us. It is the ultimate control and the most stunning way to stop an operation (accelerating it with the same impact). What we are saying is this: You will have a choice of either let us carry it out on our own schedule and with our own hands or allow your own intelligence apparatus to cause it to happen. This second choice will cause a level of dissatisfaction (with your decision makers) to reach its highest level. Therefore, your Homeland Security agencies would have no choice but to surrender and wait for the inevitable to happen.”

    ——-

    “O you helpless Americans, especially those living in States far away from Washington, D.C.!” he says. “Your country is comprised of many states that should not have anything to do with Muslims. Take the state of Arizona for example; what does this state have to do with killing Muslims in Palestine, Afghanistan and Iraq? What interest is it of theirs serving, helping, and siding with the Jews and Israel? If some members of your Congress and Senate are being used as Jewish tools manipulated by Israel, why do you bear the consequences? Why do you bring death and destruction to your homes and lives in an apparent sacrifice for a handful of dishonest men and women?”

    ——-

    “The operations are ready to go, we are just waiting for orders from the commander in chief, Osama bin Laden (may Allah preserve him). He will decide whether to strike or to hold. We swear by Allah that there are so many tricks and tactical maneuvers that will make your heads spin, by the grace of Allah. You will be brought to your knees, but not until you lose more loved ones and experience significant destruction.

    ——-

    “Now is the time to wake up and dust off this state of complacency and ineffectiveness to save yourselves and your loved ones from catastrophes sure to come your way. Remove war mongers from positions of power and throw them in prisons, where they belong. Rid yourselves of ‘the Jewish pests’ that brought nothing to you but adversity and loss of lives and wealth. They have deceived you for many years, it is time now you turn the table on them and make an example out of them. Rid yourselves of media crafters who deliberately kept you in the dark for so long and made a mockery of you before the rest of the world.”

    Funny. I’m not impressed.

    Am I supposed to be scared Mr. Williams? Because I’m not. I’m sure that there are many in this country however that are. But they are the same political retreads that always doubt the superiority of America, our military, and our people time and again. They are the same people who claimed their would be 10,000 body bags required to bring our soldiers home in if we tried to take Baghdad. They are the same people that think evil can be negotiated with as they tried with Hitler. They are the same isolationists who call for America to step back from the world stage and let everyone else have at each other which brought us two world wars.

    I’m not scared. Not in the least. Oh, I know there is another attack coming on American soil. That is inevitable as long as their are those that are beholden to evil upon this world. We cannot be right all the time, which is what would be required to stop all threats.

    So bring it on. If you thought the shock and awe that was unleashed upon your fellow devils after 9/11 was something you just wait and see what the fire and brimstone will be unleashed upon your kind will be like if you try anything on American soil again.

    I find it so odd that al-Qaida brags so much. Their leader, the mighty Usama bin Laden is hiding in a cave somewhere while his foot soldiers in Iraq have turned to (as they always do) slaughtering women, children and Iraqis trying to replace the dictatorial Saddam Hussein with something better. They try to take on our soldiers and might succeed in killing a few brave men and women each time but their losses are far more devastating when they dare try and attack.

    While President Bush and our leaders do not hide. They go to Iraq, Pakistan and other countries abroad and with complete public knowledge. They do not cower. Yet the cowards do.

    We hear talk from people like Mr. Williams and Usama the has been about how martyrdom is so great yet they do not strap the bomb belts upon their own persons.

    Go ahead, strike at America again. And do so at your own peril. There is a special place that is reserved for you and it is certainly not in Heaven. And believe me, there are no virgins where you will be going either. And we will be more than happy to send your cowardly behinds there with all due haste. This is your “last warning”.

    Cheney: Accidental Shooting Or…

    May 16th, 2008

    One thing is certain. He has lied. He claimed to have been at 90
    feet when he fired his weapon. Ballistics would reveal that only
    a few BBs would have penetrated the victim (VERY shallow
    penetration= minor injuries). By the severity of the wounds you
    can reliably figure that Cheney was from 15-18 feet from the
    victim when he shot this man in the woods. This would mean that
    Cheney perhaps tripped and misfired his weapon- OR, if you want
    to go toward a more sinister route, he may have intended to
    shoot this 78 year old lawyer. Again, at the very least he lied
    about being far away. Any hunter could tell you that bird shot
    fired at 90 feet would not do much and would have a very wide
    spread(few penetrations- if any). There is also concern about
    the fact that police were kept at bay for many hours after the
    shooting- something which would land any regular citizen in jail
    at least for a while. This would indicate that the Vice
    President believes himself to be above the law. Only bad guys
    think things like that. If he did lie then the manly thing to do
    would be to admit that he lied and tell the entire truth so that
    he might not go to prison for as long as he should. This bothers
    me much more than the fact that he lied- he has no remorse for
    his lies. Maybe he is covering for someone else that was there
    and caused the accident. However noble that may be, I think
    honesty is pobably one of the most important attributes in a
    leader.
