roof, never-before-seen post-addition chimney roof & flashing – IMG_3084 – lots of tree poop (20110615)
Image by Rev. Xanatos Satanicos Bombasticos (ClintJCL)
Another curious thing about my chimney: Why are there two? We have a theory that there’s a 2nd fireplace buried in the wall downstairs, behind our leftward cabinets (where we keep our bread machines). It was perhaps covered up for heat-loss reasons, or perhaps because the kitchen was expanded and put cabinets within burn-range of the fireplace. There has definitely been discussion of turning it BACK into a fireplace downstairs, but it would be kind of an expensive hassle, and would remove a place for a couch to exist.
See the brown stuff? The detritus of tree branches falling and collecting in this never-before-seen area of our roof. The smell was horrid. I named it "house shit". It was worse than horse shit, but not elephant shit. As I cleaned some out of the gutters, I had to drop it straight down (for life-threatening balancing reasons), where it landed in Carolyn’s hair (repeatedly), her unable to block it with her hands 9for life-threatening balancing reasons). Probably Carolyn’s least favorite part of a lot of this.
Note the condition of the shingles. Progressive insurance (Homesite insurance) dropped our insurance giving us a list of reasons. We fixed the items on that list. They then dropped us a 2nd time for new reasons not included in the first list, including "curling shingles" on my roof. The shingles certainly aren’t perfect, but do these look like something that’s going to fly off my roof and cost an insurance company a lot of money? Of course, we survived Hurricane Irene AND the post-Irene flood storms JUST FINE … With zero water in our house. Progressive did not even cite our roof the first time they dropped us. Quite simply, Progressive Insurance/Homesite insurance are ASSHOLES. The roof sure as hell does not need to be re-done if it is functioning just fine. Plus, I just patched it with roof cement to strengthen it up even more! Be smart. Stay away from Progressive. Their low prices aren’t worth it. The State Corporation Commission has been notified, but since Virginia is a Republican state, our regulatory agencies barely have any teeth.
I reinforced the flashing edges with tons of roof cement. (This is the before pic, there is no after pic.)
Homesite insurance, Progressive insurance, bricks, chimney, flashing, house maintenance, shingles, tree.
Homesite insurance sucks. Homesite sucks. Progressive insurance sucks. Progressive sucks. after addition.

Image by Virginia Guard Public Affairs
The Virginia National Guard’s Lynchburg-based 1st Battalion, 116th Infantry Regiment, 116th Brigade Combat Team conducted a change of command ceremony March 6, 2011 at the Schilling Center on the campus of Liberty University. During the ceremony, Lt. Col. Allan Carter assumed command of the battalion from Lt. Col. E. Scott Smith. Carter, a native of Lynchburg, most recently served as the brigade operations officer for the Staunton-based 116th Brigade Combat Team. Smith has been selected to attend the resident U. S. Army War College and will serve in the 116th Brigade Combat Team headquarters while he awaits his yearlong course to start in July. (Photo by Cotton Puryear, Va. Department of Military Affairs)
Question by DDomination: HELP! *college admissions*?
I am a senior and I have a BAD gpa its a 2.9 W, and 2.5 UW My SAT score is a 1920 total. I have a TON of extra curriculars. Rugby, lacrosse, basketball, president of the african american student union, virginia math league, competitive ballet for about 14 years, debate team, plus more. Also, I have been taking language and science classes at the community college. The language classes are for fun but the sciences are to make up for the ones i did poorly in in high school. Also, i did badly in lower maths but i took AP calculus last year and got an A. Im so confused and i feel like i wont get into any colleges. Where should I apply. I live in virginia by the way. Suggestions of colleges PLEASE!
P.s.: a two-year community college or anything like it is not acceptable to my parents who are both very successful and went to excellent universities as well as my brother (who went to vanderbilt, Bio-medical engineering major).
Where should I go? I dont care about location, tuition or anything, i just need to get into a school!
Where should i apply?
Thanks!
UW= unweighted
W= weighted
Best answer:
Answer by The Goldfish
quick question What does W and UW mean!? i answered it but the UW and W threw me offf
–
okay well 2.9 is okay (well to me it is cause i’m a whopping 1. freaking 9 in my senior year)
I believe some State Universities start at accepting at 2.7 so if the college accepts ur weighted GPA it can work (but im not sure how the UW and W GPA works with college acceptances) so what you could do is check one out and go to which ever is the best one and get very very high grades to transfer into a an even better university. Thats what my college advisor told me. Check out collegeboard.com they supposedly have infor about all colleges and stuff
Do you have a college advisor or Guidance counselor at school that can help you? I think you should speak to them
sorry if what i said made no sense

Amerika, The Fourth Reich: Here’s Your SAR List, Sheeple! (g1a2d0080c1)
Image by watchingfrogsboil
AMERIKA, THE FOURTH REICH: HERE’S YOUR SAR LIST, SHEEPLE!
Global Revolution 1: American Revolution 2: Day 80: Communication 1
IronBoltBruce’s Kleptocracy Chronicles for 5 Dec 2011 (g1a2d0080c1)
How many examples of greed and corruption must you see before you act?
This message is intended for the Amerikan Sheeple. That excludes YOU,
doesn’t it? If not…
We don’t need to wait for BushBama to sign the National Defense
Authorization Act of 2012, which will officially make Amerika a Fascist
Police State by affirming government power to arrest United States citizens
on the basis of suspicion alone and hold them indefinitely without trial:
The sad truth is, Amerika has been a Fascist Police State for many years.
Some trace it back to the passage of the USA Patriot Act that became law on
26 October 2001 in response to the "attacks of 9/11". This was a sweepingly
complex piece of rights-removing legislation – more than 68,000 words long -
that was supposedly drafted from scratch by somebody, sponsored by Kotex
King Jim Sensenbrenner, waltzed through Congress, and then signed by Bush 2
in barely six weeks:
www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/PLAW-107publ56
Others say it started with the 2000 presidential election, when PNAC
front-men Dubya and Darth were decreed into office by an overreaching SCOTUS
following rigged election results in Florida and elsewhere:
www.hulu.com/watch/177439/peace
www.hulu.com/watch/192687/hacking-democracy
Still others say plans for the fascist takeover of Amerika originated at the
end of World War II, when a wealthy and determined global elite vowed to
continue their quest for world domination beyond Adolf Hitler’s demise…
But that takes us too deeply into the shadowy realm of conspiracy theory.
And rather than pursue what might be THERE, we will instead share what we
know to be HERE. And what is here – right now, today – is George Orwell’s
"1984". BIG BROTHER – the CIA/DHS/FBI/NSA and a dozen more TLAs ad nauseum
- is watching. And Big Brother expects all obedient Sheeple to show their
allegiance to the State by reporting any "suspicious activity" they see.
He’s even put in place a Nationwide Suspicious Activity Reporting (SAR)
Initiative:
To streamline the process of informing on all those right-wing
reactionaries, left-wing radicals, birthers, truthers, militias, agitators,
sexual predators, priests (oops! redundant), Muslims, Zealots, Marxists,
Skinheads, Communists, Klansmen, Socialists, Hedonists, Libertarians,
Anarchists, Neoconservatives, Neoliberals, Koch-sponsored trailer trash Tea
Partiers, Soros-sponsored hippy rapist Occupiers, Wild Hogs, Real Bikers and
all of the other Mad Hatters who are clearly not complying with the Ruling
Kleptocracy’s monitored and managed mainstream Demopublican/Republocrat
norms, you can do it all online with minimal interruption to your TV time.
That’s right! You can be a Patriot in the New Amerika and STILL stay
water-cooler current about who (or what) the Kardashians, Lohans or Hiltons
are screwing this week. Plus act now, and you can turn in your neighbor
before she or he does the same thing to you!

SHOW ME WHAT KLEPTOCRACY LOOKS LIKE! THIS IS WHAT KLEPTOCRACY LOOKS LIKE!
Kleptocracy [klep-TOK-ruh-see]: A government or state in which those in
power exploit national resources and steal; rule by a thief or thieves. See
also the United States of America where, as Goethe said, "None are more
hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free." Want
documented examples of the corporate greed that corrupts our government and
fuels the Revolution? Find dozens here, with more to come:
###
IT IS NO COINCIDENCE THAT OF THE LAST 14 U.S. PRESIDENTS, 7 HAVE BEEN
DEMOCRATS AND 7 HAVE BEEN REPUBLICANS.
Our Kleptocracy-controlled media focuses on America’s two-year election
cycles as if who wins or loses in the swinging of the pendulum was a matter
of life or death, when in fact even at the Presidential level it makes no
more difference than the outcomes of Monday Night Football, American Idol,
Dancing With The Stars, Hillbilly Handfishing or the trial of Michael
Jackson’s doctor. U.S. elections are staged primarily to give Sheeple the
illusion of control so they will (a) vent their frustrations and expend
their energy, emotions and resources supporting or attacking the Puppet on
the Left hand or the Puppet on the Right, and consequently (b) never
recognize and challenge the common omnipotent Puppetmaster.
There was no real change in 2008. There was no real change in 2010. There
WILL be real change in 2012, but it won’t be coming from tele-brainwashed
couch potatoes, manipulated voter lists, rigged voting machines or
predetermined ballot counts. It will be coming from us…
The 99 Percent
###
I AM NOT ANONYMOUS. I AM AN AMERICAN.
I am not just a Consumer. I am a Citizen. I will no longer be labeled Left
or Right, Liberal or Conservative, Demopublican or Republocrat, and I will
no longer follow the bought and paid for political Puppets who exploit those
labels. I am the People, and I am coming for the Puppetmasters. I am part
of the 99 Percent, and here are my demands:
1. End the Fed.
2. Reverse Citizens United.
3. Repeal PATRIOT Act.
4. Expose 9/11 Truth.
5. End Profit Wars.
6. Refund Taxpayer Trillions.
7. Imprison the Kleptocrats.
8. Single Term Limits.
Or, if these demands are not addressed promptly:
1. Regime Change.
###
POLITICAL LABELS
"Democrat", "Republican", the parties of the system;
Puppets both, for sale their votes, no character or wisdom.
"Liberal", "Conservative", for change or status quo?
Pick either one, the change is none, all charlatans and whores.
Far "Left" we place the Anarchists, Libertarians claim far "Right";
Yet both decry the government: False continuum brought to light.
For oil, "We" bomb their mud huts, strip them bare, then offer "Aid";
And fake their retribution as pretext – a false flag raised.
Unarmed hundred thousands killed by weapons of "Defense";
While rights are lost for "Freedom" sake – on profit, all depends.
With stroke of pen, the "Patriot" Act, and patriots’ gifts are taken;
Then "Citizens United" leaves our citizens forsaken.
We protest loss of liberties, put "World Wide Web" to use;
Cloudmark Authority censors us for "messaging abuse".
They label us to finger-point. With labels, "They" deride us.
Their labels keep us all at bay. For with labels, "They" divide us.

Co. C, 1st ILL. Light Artillery
Evening Kansan-Republican, Wednesday, Aug. 29, 1917, Pg. 4
Vol. XXXIII, No. 477
EDWARD G. HUDSON
DIED THIS MORNING
_______
Prominent Citizen Was One
of Honored Residents
of Newton.
______
Edward G. Hudson was born March 22, 1848, and died Aug. 29, 1917.
His father, the Rev. S. E. Hudson, was one of the early ministers of the Cumberland Presbyterian church of Pennsylvania. E. G. Hudson was educated in Lincoln university at Lincoln, Ill. and practiced law in the courts of that state. He enlisted in the First Illinois artillery during the Civil war, when he was seventeen years of age. He married Miss Virginia Hackney of Fayette county, Pa., in April, 1879. Five children were born, of whom three survive, Dr. Frederick of Enid, Okla.; Dr. Harry H., first lieutenant in the medical officers’ training camp at Fort Riley, and Edgar G., of this place, who has been his father’s assistant in the management of his business affairs.
Mr. Hudson was associated with Col. A. F. Johnson and John E. Frost in the land business of the Santa Fe for twenty years.
Coming to Newton in the fall of 1900 from Lincoln, Ill., Mr. Hudson has been prominently identified with the town ever since.
At the time of his decease he was director of the First National Bank and treasurer of the Newton free library, in the welfare of which he was always interested.
He was a member of the Grand Army of the Republic, and belonged to the local post. He was also a member of the Masonic fraternity and a Knight Templar.
He was a man of sterling worth, a kind neighbor and a loving father.
No funeral arrangements have been made as word has not been received from Dr. Harry Hudson at Fort Riley.
