Im 12, and I want a monroe piercing. I can't find an answer, I guess because virginia isn't really popular. I heard from a friend that it's 15 with a parents signature. Help please!|||From the state law:
Tattooing and Body Piercing-Prohibits anyone from tattooing or performing body piercing on a person under age 18, knowing or having reason to believe that the person is under 18 except in the presence of the person's parent or guardian or when done by or under the supervision of a medical doctor, registered nurse, or other medical services personnel in the performance of their duties. Excludes ear piercing as a form of body piercing.
Violators are guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor.|||18 is the legal age if your parents wont sign...even if your parents will sign most piercers will not do the piercing on anyone under 15
Will I have to file Virginia state tax returns? Will different with-holdings be taken from my check? Will my tax burden get larger because of TN and VA taxes? Are there any benefits from working in VA while living in TN?|||Virginia withholdings will be taken from your check. You will have to file a VA return in order to get a refund of your withholdings as a non resident.
There is no income tax in Tn except income taxes on investment income.
No benefits except a job - times are tight here in Tn at the moment.

I heard that UNC (university of north carolina-chapelhill) reserves 80% of their freshmen spots for people who reside in North Carolina. Somebody told me UVA does not do that and instead, UVA has a lmited amount of students they can take from VIrginia. Does anybody know what percentage that is?|||UVA is composed of 67% in-state students and
33% out-of-state students. So 2/3 of the spots filled for UVA is for students residing in Virginia, the other 1/3 is for out of state or international students.
Any other information regarding this school can be found on the link below.|||In 2006, UVA admitted 45% of their in-state applicants and 32% of their out-of-state applicants. Of the total enrolled freshmen class of 3,091 students, 1,969 of them were Virginia residence (about 64%.) According to the Princeton Review, state residency is a very important factor in candidate selection.

I am from Texas, but am enlisted in the Army in Virginia. From my understanding I need my Military I.D., Driver's License and my Orders. I've been told I also need proof of where I live. I live technically live in the Barracks, and some bills go there, but I live with my GF. They said I need a hunting or fishing license also...any other things I need?|||You don't need a hunting or fishing license.

Is the character mr. Burke the same man in the books enslaved and seduced by virginia henley. In both the books their is a servant t named Mr. Burke.|||i think it is more likely that the author had the idea for the character and forgot that she had used one of the same name before.
it is unlikely that they are intended to be the same person - enslaved being set in the eighteenth Century whilst seduced is probably in the second decade of the nineteenth (they refer to King George being mad - so dating the setting at later than 1810)
I am moving to rural Vermont in three weeks and am looking for a baby potbellied pig while I am still in North Carolina. The reason: a pig up north costs a lot more than a pig down south. I am willing to travel to Virginia or South Carolina (or any place within a 3 hour driving range). I am specifically looking for a baby pig. Does anyone know of any breeders or where I can find a list of breeders for this area? Thank you in advance!|||http://www.gomestic.com/Pets/Unusual-Pet鈥?/a>
beware NOT to buy ones called "TOY" pot belly pigs.. these are often ones stunted through poor nutrition or genetics.. and its freakish what happens to them..
at a point their outter body stops growing but their insides dont.. you soon have a biggy that has outgrown their body and will die or get very ill and require euthanisia.. this is saddly very common - stay away from these kind of breeders..
I am in Canada - we often have them for sale at odd and unusual Livestock auctions - ask at your local livestock feed store if they have them in your area... or they might know breeders
At what age can a youth obtain a work permit and how does my child get one in Fairfax County, Virginia?|||According to labour law in Virginia, the minors who are at the age of 14-15 years requires some necessary things to work.
1) Must have a work permit
2) Have limited hours to work
3) Limited areas of industries and work places are allowed
Apart from that, minors above age of 15 to 17 don't requires work permit and also not restricted to limited working hours but the third condition still applies to them.
Hope this information will be helpful for you.
Aren't Dems a bunch of hypocrites about Global Warming?

And, West Virginia's 2 Democrat senators (Senator Manchin was governor of West Virginia until recently) do all they can to get the US and the world to keep consuming massive amounts of coal. Right?|||Coal is a reasonably good fuel. I would like to see more nuclear power, however.|||Leave Manchin alone. He is the only decent Democrat left in America!

You really should have done some scouting prior to the season. Deer will travel the same path in snow as they do the rest of the time.

If it has been on the ground for a day or two, you can easily find deer paths if you are not familiar with the area. Set up near one of those. When it is cold and snowy, deer need more food, so setting up near food sources, which may be limited with snow on the ground, is good too. Thing are much quieter in the snow and deer are much more noticeable in heavy cover.|||Legend.... funny attitudes. Game meat makes up almost 90% of the meat I consume (on a good year.)
Do you wait til you're starving to order a steak??
Snow is my favorite time to hunt! Never hunted Virginia so I don't know about your specific area.
I prefer to look for dead fresh tracks during a snowstorm and track them til I find them. Most places I hunt the animals aren't out in the open during the day, so I'm pretty much still hunting in the woods.|||I don't know what kind of terrain you have, but here in PA there's lots of mountains, hills, and valleys. When it snows and I'm hunting deer I look in thickly wooded areas, and in mountain laurel. Also, fresh tracks are obviously a great sign. Good luck!|||Legend, all I have to say is that you are obviously 12 years old, because no mentally mature person would say that.|||Legend I hope you hit a deer in your car|||Wouldnt it be better to take photos of the animals rather than kill them?

Virginia Beach has a plethora of the usual "chain" restaurants like Olive Garden (Lynnhaven), Ruby Tuesdays (Pembroke), PF Changs and Cheesecake Factory (Pembroke), Golden Corral (Independence Road).
If you want a place to eat some really good ribs, I would recommend Frankies located in Fairfield section. If you like Indian food, I would recommend Nawab off Laskin Road or the one located in Norfolk in the Military Circle Shopping Center or Spice of India in Greenbrier in Chesapeake. Italian food: Il Giardino at the oceanfront or Aldo's off Laskin Road. Mexican: El Azteca off Consitution Drive and Los Bravos off Providence Road.

The home we are looking at has possible mold and or mildew, plus other insulation and venting problems. What are the laws concening these issues in Virginia?|||If the home you are looking at has these issues, there is no legal onus that it must be repaired or fixed by the seller before you purchase; the only exception is if the home is condemned by the county for being a health hazard based on an exceptionally high mold or mildew count.
If it's disclosed then it's buyer beware.
If it isn't and you find this out through the inspection process, then you will have to cite that issue and modify the sales contract accordingly to assure the problem is fixed. The final inspection after the repair will determine that set of facts.
Since you have not purchased the home yet, and it is not clear from your question if the mold and mildew issue has been properly disclosed, it is hard to know what law would apply.
The law requires that the sales contract be honored, and part of that deals with repairs if it is added to the contract.
Yet I know of no specific "mold and mildew" laws on the federal or state books, that are related to the sale of real property.
Good Luck.|||Be sure your contract is contingent upon a mold inspection. Have the mold swabbed and an air sample taken and sent out to a lab for testing. Chances are it can be easily cleaned with bleach, but beware of stachybatris (misspelled I know, it's the toxic black mold. If toxic mold is present, your contingency will get you out of the contract. Good luck. By the way, why are you buying a home you know has so many problems? Yikes!|||Per law, the seller has to make full disclosure of such damage. Such damage in the house can make the collateral of the property sub-standard and/or yield a lower value to the loan amt and it would be difficult for you to complete the financing per the purchase price. Also, this is the kind of thing that also get's the city involved esp. if you plan to lease the property out as you would not be able to get an occupany permit until the repairs are made and the hse passes inspection.
So....if you are still keen on the hse, get an inspection and a quote of cost to cure and try and negotiate a new lower price. Provide the quote to a bank and see if they will provide financing for thr purchase and repairs. Rule of thumb is that the cost to cure should not exceed 15-20%....

Married military are normally offered off base quarters if on-base quarters are not available.
Web sites are a good place to find an apartment or house to rent, if you want to go through the entire list to find one in your state and then city.
The best place to look for places to rent is to go to the yellow pages of your telephone book, look under property managers.
These individuals list properties for rent in certain areas, so make sure you select the areas in which you wish to rent.
Call several of the property managers listed there, tell them you want a list of properties that they have for rent. Some will fax, email or mail the list of local places to rent along with the address, number of bedrooms and bath rooms, amenities available, such as washer and dryers or gyms, the monthly rental of the unit. Most will include a rental application. These list will include the monthly rental required, if a lease or month to month agreement will be signed. They will also indicate if they will accept Section 8 vouchers. They will also indicate it they have disabled access, allow pets and if so the type allowed.
They might indicate a web site that you might visit to get their list of places to rent. It does not cost to get a rental list from a reputable property manager.
Some will require you to stop by their office and pick up the list. A lot of them post their list outside so the list are available 24/7 365.
Make sure you don't fall for the scams and purchase a list as 70%-80% of these list are composed of free list they have compiled. They are not the property managers of any property in most instances.
You might also google Property managers in whatever city or community you want to live in and see what comes up. Again do not pay for this information as it is free from reliable property managers.

|||Whenever ownership of an automobile changes, Virginia assesses a 3% motor vehicle sales and use tax, with a floor of 35.00. It didn't used to be this way, but governor Baililes got the tax passed. Originally, it was 2%, but in 1999, the Virginia assembly raised the tax to 3%. No matter how many times you buy an auto during the course of a year, you pay the tax.
Unless exempted under Va. Code 搂 58.1-2403, Virginia levys a 3% Motor Vehicle Sales and Use Tax based on the vehicle's gross sales price or $35, whichever is greater. This tax is collected at the time of titling whenever a vehicle is sold and/or ownership of the motor vehicle changes. If you are exempt from the motor vehicle sales and use tax, as provided by statute 搂 58.1-2403, bring proof of your exemption status or complete the Purchaser's Statement of Tax Exemption (SUT3) indicating the reason for exemption.
For the purposes of the Motor Vehicle Sales and Use Tax collection, gross sales price includes the dealer processing fee. The gross sales price is the vehicle price after the manufacturers' discounts or dealer price discounts. Gross sales price does not include any other price reductions, such as credit for trade-ins, rebates, unpaid liens or other unpaid credits.
If you are titling your vehicle in Virginia for the first time and you hold a valid assignable title or registration issued in your name by another state or a branch of the United States Armed Forces, you will not have to pay the Motor Vehicle Sales and Use Tax. However, if you purchased the vehicle within the preceding 12 months, you must provide proof that the sales and use tax was paid elsewhere in order to be exempt in Virginia.
For a transaction between private individuals, the minimum Motor Vehicle Sales and Use Tax is calculated based on the trade-in value given in the NADA Official Used Car Guide. You must present either an Affidavit for Procurement of Title (SUT-1A) if the vehicle is 5 years old or newer (based on the model year) or a Bill of Sale if the vehicle is more than 5 years old. (The sale price placed on a title certificate by the seller is the equivalent of a bill of sale.) A bill of sale must be signed by both the seller and the buyer to include the full vehicle description, vehicle identification number and date of sale.
My landlord wants to sell the house me and my family are living in, but we just signed a contract for one year. The contract was not notarized, is it still legally binding in the state of Virginia?|||Yes. If he sells it, the new own has to agree to the contract that is in place. Otherwise you can sue for damages.
So don't worry about having to move right away.|||The contract is binding. All a notary does is verify who signed the document. Unless the landlord wants to deny they signed it (fraud in itself), the notarization means nothing.
However, the new owner does not have to accept the lease, under certain conditions|||A notary merely verifies the signatures and does not make a contract any more or less valid.|||yes
I just got this notice in the mail:
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Please keep this with your other important documents.
Effective immediately, your Account will be governed by federal law and the laws of the state of Virginia, and whether or not your Account is used outside of Virginia.
Any one got any inklings what that's supposed to mean?|||I would check with the institution that supposedly issued the notice; however, I would say there is at least a decent chance that it is bogus or an attempt at phishing. If it came from a legitimate source, particularly the state government, it should say "Commonwealth," not "state" of Virginia.
I'm 16 and of course I'm at that age of trying to figure out what I want to do with my life. I was interested in nursing and I was just curious about it. So I was wondering how much make they make a year, in West Virginia, and is it a good good career. Is it fun, interesting, and if ya like it, why or why not. Thanks for your time!|||West Virginia is tricky and so is nursing. It depends where in the state you are willing to work and what type of nursing you want to go into. I believe that a lot of LPN's range from 12-15 bucks and hour. RN's range anywhere from 36,000 - 75,000 depending on where you are going to work, whether it is the private sector, the state or a hospital. If you like working with people and like helping them out, its a great field. Know what you are getting into, tho. Try to shadow one at a local hospital or nursing home. The best part about nursing is there are so many things you can do...even office work. A lot of insurance companies hire nurses to work for them as well. AND in this down turn of the economy or whatever happens in the future...you HAVE to have medical staff...so there will always be a demand for nurses. Good luck in your future!
I'm being sued for something that happened when i was sixteen. Four years later, i get a summons in the mail. They never tried to sue my parents and haven't brought up anything until now. virginia statute of limitations gives them another year to sue.|||Four years is an awfully long time, you might want to get a lawyer and double-check that they're still allowed to sue you after so long. Either way, you need a lawyer to file an answer in court for the summons you recieved.|||I wuldn't know about the law but generally the world over a minor cannot be sued.Irrespective
of the statute of limitation,the offence having been committed when the person was a minor,
that person is not liable.That is my under-
standing based on a common sense approach.
You could always consult with an attorney.
Yesterday i felt the earthquake at 1:51 pm and was freaked out. I just moved from California and thought the earthquake stuff wouldnt be here. I dont know if earthquakes here are unusual but it interested me to know ...well how many earthquakes does virginia get per year. Some things say
Virginia gets an earthquake every six years but i honestly dont know.|||2-3 per year are registered by the National Earthquake Center. They have to be above a lower threshold to be so registered; microquakes all the way down to the footfalls of horses are, of course, everywhere and all the time.|||my understanding is that it is well below one per year for greater than around 4 on the richter scale. somewhere around 1 every 15 years or so on average. the largest ever recorded was the same size as the one that just happened, around a 5.9 back in 1890 something. I am talking earthquakes that actually happen in Virginia, not happened outside Virginia but felt in Virginia. Up here near the New England-Quebec border, I feel one about every 4 years on average (6 over 22 years that I have lived up here). I felt that one yesterday. like a rocking boat. Virginia's earthquake activity is a lot lower than up here.|||I have been watching the news and from people's reactions who live in Virginia, they are extreamly shocked. I am almost confident that it is extreamly rare (the ones you can feel) because I live in New York and I yesterday was the first earthquake we have had in a tremendous abmount of time! I hope this helped!|||about 1 every 10 to 20 years in the state
a map shows quakes from 1990-2006 as small dots with small magnitude
a medium size dot will be felt more.|||Thousands of micro quakes every year. I don't know how many large ones though as I can't be asked to look it up even though I find georgraphy interesting.
I live in Virginia and i like to always carry a knife on me and am wondering if i can legally carry my bowie knife or other knives/swords that are longer than 12 inches if they are not concealed (like on my belt).
Thanks in advance.|||Bowie knives are specifically listed under VA Code 18.2-308 regarding concealed weapons. If you conceal it, you can be charged with carrying a concealed weapon. So carry it openly where it's legal to do so, or get a concealed weapons permit.|||Yes...|||you will have to check the laws in your state but i think you can't carry a knives on you more than 4in long.
Hi,
I live in Reston, Virginia and would like to purchase couple baby chicks for my kids. I tried searching in google and the big hatcheries don't sell less than 20 chicks.
I was wondering if someone can please help me locate them here cin northern virginia.
Thanks|||Well, if you have the time, you might want to just look around for a local farm that raises chickens. The farmers in my area just love it when the locals take an interest in their farm and their animals.
Another option that you could consider is talking some other people that might be interested in chicks as well. One person might want five for a little backyard flock. Another might want to start a little side business selling extra eggs and want 10. Another parent might want their child to have a chick as well and there goes 2 or 3 more. I believe that i would be worth your time, that way you can pick and choose what breed you would like.
Best of luck to you!|||Look in the Washington Post Classified for Birds or just check a local little farm that's happy to give away a couple chicks or just charge a couple of dollars for each one. Or abduct a chicken. :)|||If you have any local feed stores (especially your smaller ones) try asking around there. They may be able to tell you someone who raises them locally. I found mine this way. Also, if you have a vet that handles horses/cattle they may know if they do farm visits... never hurts to asks.|||Hi,
I live in Manassas and there is an Avian store in Arlington. I don't know how far that is but they sells small parrots, cockatiels, and then evern larger birds like amazons, african greys, and cockatoos and macaws. For younger kids I would check out the cokcatiels at feather heads they are around 100. I bought my tiel from there and he was very friendly and healthy. Best of luck!
My husband and I are moving to Virginia, we live in California. We are driving all the way there and would like to find something and some places to see . Where and what can we see on the way ? Be specific|||Wow, is there any room in here for me? If I drove across the country, it would take a year. I'd visit every national park and every national monument in the south. I'd stay away from every big city, really relax, and go see the good 'ol USA.
Here's a link to the parks...
http://www.nps.gov/|||You have many choices of routes between CA and VA, but consider visiting New Orleans.
NOLA is one of the world's special places with an ambience unique in North America, and remains so even after Katrina devastated it in 2005.
Katrina flooded about 80% of New Orleans with salt water, and the water stayed for almost a month. Much of the city is still struggling to recover and all you have to do to see devastation is drive around. It will take years for NOLA to fully recover from Katrina.
However, the parts of the city that tourists usually visit were not flooded. It's not a coincidence - the French Quarter and other old parts of the city were built on relatively high ground and only suffered wind damage from Katrina. Almost all of the damage has been repaired and you have to look closely in the FQ and city center to see that Katrina happened at all. You should visit and see for yourself.
Note that the City of New Orleans is only part of the greater New Orleans area. The GNO area had a population of about 1,400,000 before Katrina and is estimated at about 1,200,000 now (July, 2007). The absent 200,000 are mostly from the City of New Orleans and the parishes of Plaquemines and Saint Bernard, which were the worst-flooded parts of the metro area. Jefferson Parish - juast to the west of the City - suffered relatively minor flooding and has fully recovered.
You can drink the water, the electricity & phones work, and services like the post office, hospitals, schools, and police/fire/EMS are operating. Restaurants, stores and shopping centers are open.
Municipal services like street cleaning & trash collection collapsed after Katrina. Those services were fully restored in late 2006 and it is no longer an issue.
I recommend staying in the French Quarter (Vieux Carre") if you can. There is a very wide range of selections available, from moderate guest houses to very exclusive "boutique" hotels. Search Yahoo Travel and Travelocity for ideas and also check the hotel websites. Go to www.frenchquarterhotels.com for some non-chain hotels.
A very inexpensive option for students and international visitors is the India House hostel: http://www.indiahousehostel.com/
You don't need a car to get around in the French Quarter, Central Business District, or Warehouse District. Also, the parking regulations are Byzantine and there are lots of Parking Control Agents. If you drive or rent a car, leave it in a lot or garage unless you are traveling away from downtown.
The regional transit authority (www.norta.com) sells 1 and 3 day passes that offer unlimited use of buses and streetcars for the day(s) you select. There are also lots of taxicabs.
Regarding crime, use the same common sense necessary in every major city in the world and there is little chance you will be a victim of anything except a need to visit the gym.
New Orleans has mild weather from late October to early May and the city stays green all year most years (rarely freezes and almost never snows). We pay for the mild winters with hot, humid summers 鈥?particularly in July & August. Just wear light, cotton clothes and take it easy during the afternoon. The good news for summertime visitors is that hotel rates are lower.
Things to do:
Mardi Gras and the Jazz Festival are world famous events, but New Orleans hosts many festivals and celebrations throughout the year: http://www.nola.com/festivals/
There are many sightseeing opportunities in the greater New Orleans area, including carriage rides/tours, plantation tours, swamp tours, ghost tours, and even Katrina disaster tours. The steamboat Natchez also does a harbor tour. There are numerous tour companies and your hotel can help with the arrangements. Try to avoid scheduling an outdoor tour until you know the weather forecast for the day in question.
The Saint Charles Streetcar is the oldest continuously operating street railway in the world and is a "tourist attraction" in its own right. It is part of the public transit system, as are the Canal Street and Riverfront streetcar lines: http://www.norta.com/
There is always music, but the bands change: Go to www.bestofneworleans.com and click on Music then Listings or to www.offbeat.com and click on Listings, then Music.
Note that music clubs often advertise "No Cover", meaning there is no charge for entering. However, clubs with "No Cover" often require that customers buy a beverage each for every "set " of music (which can be every 20 minutes) so KNOW THE PRICE before you sit down. Clubs do that because some people will sit in the club all evening drinking nothing (clubs only make money from the drinks they sell - not from the music). It is also a good idea to pay for each round of drinks (in clubs on Bourbon Street) as it is delivered so there can't be any confusion at the end of the evening.
About certain alcoholic beverages: Realize that some famous drinks are VERY potent compared with regular cocktails that have only 1 to 1 陆 ounces of alcohol. For example, a Hurricane is basically 3 or 4 ounces of rum in something like red Kool-Aid, and a Hand Grenade has at least 4 陆 ounces of Everclear + rum + vodka mixed with melon liquor. They don鈥檛 necessarily taste like an alcoholic beverage and it is easy to over-indulge.
Wander around the French Quarter, enjoy the architecture, watch the street entertainers (do tip), and visit some of the historic buildings that have been turned into museums (go to www.frenchquarter.com and click on Historic Attractions).
Assuming the weather is good, you can collect a sandwich lunch and eat in the riverfront park (watch the shipping) or in Jackson Square (a very nice park).
The Riverwalk shopping center has an air-conditioned food court with dining overlooking the river (www.riverwalkmarketplace.com). The Canal Place shopping center is in the French Quarter and has a cinema and higher-end shopping (Saks 5th Avenue, Brooks Brothers, etc.)
The lobby for the Westin Canal Place Hotel is on the 11th floor and overlooks the French Quarter. It is a great place for an afternoon drink/snack:(www.westin.com).
Cafe du Monde is in the French Quarter and you shouldn't miss having cafe au lait & beignets (www.cafedumonde.com). Another great coffee shop is the Croissant d'Or (at 615 Ursulines Street), which is open from 7:00am to 2:00pm and has food in addition to pastry.
The Palm Court restaurant is very nice, has moderate prices, and traditional live jazz starting at 8:00pm: 1204 Decatur Street, tel 504-525-0200 (reservations are important and they are not open every day). The Palm Court is closed from about July 25th to about September 25th each year.
Maximo's Italian Grill has great food and atmosphere: 1117 Decatur Street in the French Quarter, (504) 586-8883.
All of the famous restaurants (Antoine's, Arnaud's, Brennan's, Commander's Palace, etc.) have reopened. The Pelican Club (on Exchange Alley in the FQ) is not as well known but is the same type experience. Reservations are a good idea, and probably essential on weekends. Tujaques Restaurant (823 Decatur Street) is very traditional and has moderate prices: http://www.tujaguesrestaurant.com/
Cafe Degas is a very French restaurant near City Park at 3127 Esplanade - which is not within walking distance of downtown (5 to 10 minutes by taxi). They are closed on Mondays & Tuesdays (504-945-5635).
The Napoleon House restaurant is at 500 Chartres Street in the FQ, and has a menu of great local dishes: http://www.napoleonhouse.com/
Preservation Hall has traditional live Jazz, and doesn鈥檛 serve alcohol so all ages are welcome: http://www.preservationhall.com/
New Orleans has ballet, opera, a symphony orchestra, and theatre:
http://www.nobadance.com/
http://www.neworleansopera.org/
http://www.lpomusic.com/
http://www.lepetittheatre.com/
There is a free ferry across the Mississippi at the "foot" of Canal Street. It is a short trip but like a harbor cruise w/o a guide: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/canal_stree鈥?/a>
The Aquarium, Audubon Zoo, and the new Insectarium are world-class attractions (www.auduboninstitute.org) and you should see them if you can. The Zoo is several miles from downtown. You can drive to the Zoo (which has free parking) or take public transit from the French Quarter.
The Louisiana State Museum is in the French Quarter: http://lsm.crt.state.la.us/ New Orleans is also home to a number of other museums, such as the National World War II Museum (www.ddaymuseum.org) and the New Orleans Museum of Art (www.noma.org). Both can be reached by public transit: The WWII museum is in the central business district but a long walk from the French Quarter. NOMA is not within walking distance of downtown but has free parking. Go to http://www.neworleansmuseums.com/ for info on more museums.
Harrah鈥檚 Casino is in the Central Business District: http://www.harrahs.com/casinos/harrahs-n鈥?/a> (age 21 required for entry)
New Orleans City Park has a variety of attractions, including as amusement park with rides and attractions for children + free parking. City Park also presents "Celebration in the Oaks" from late November to early January: (www.neworleanscitypark.com).

What do you think the bright lights in the sky seen in Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina were, seen on Sunday march 29th.

Let the flames begin.|||VT is in America.|||I have no idea, but your right people need to change their diets and exercise more often.|||Although this is slightly offensive, I guess I'll take the bait.
America has an obesity problem because of the need for instant gratification, and the long hours people have, as well as the number of children most people have. A lot of people don't have time for home cooked meals, or healthy meals in general.
I do feel that you're saying some very offensive things about the VTech victims, though, and I also think it's pretty offensive to say that America is full of gluttons.|||60% of America is obese because the food we eat is full of crap and we're too stubborn and ignorant to do anything about it.|||In America, bigger is better. Including waist size.|||Apparently, you don't know what the word glutton means. I know that you are just trying to ruffle people's feathers... but, in a sadly humorous way, you are showcasing your own ignorance.
In that way, your question is actually funny... although, given your ignorance, you probably don't get the joke.|||We Americans are too fat. That's the truth. I try and stay fit but it's hard and I could use losing a few more pounds. We have it too easy and most of us don't seem to have enough will power to avoid snacking.
I worked with an intern from the UK back in the late 90's and he said that they have very few drive-through's in England for one example. Maybe if we actually got out of our cars and walked into the bank or restaurant we might lose a few pounds.
They also don't have cup holders in vehicles from what he said, it is another American tradition to eat and drink while we drive.
So it's definitely an issue. Hopefully we're becoming more aware...|||I live in Va and I first have to say that I think it's incredibly rude and disgustingly offensive for you to even combine such things into one question.

In the state of virginia how long does a 18 year old have to hold a permit before getting a license.
I know they changed something with the ages but im not sure|||If you're under 19 you must provide proof of successful completion of a state-approved driver education program and you must hold a learner's permit at least nine months before you can receive a driver's license.
Plus, your parent, guardian or foster parent must provide his or her driver's license or state-issued identification card number and sign the certificate to certify that you received at least 45 hours of driver practice, 15 of which must have been competed after sunset. You will receive a certificate when you complete the driver education program.
Of course you could have all that completed well before you turn 18 because you can get a permit at 15 years 6 months
After you have held your permit nine months, turned age 16 and 3 months AND completed driver education, you will receive a notice that tells you when to appear in court for a licensing ceremony where you will receive your permanent driver's license

I'd like to plant some spinach and chard now and hope for a harvest over the winter. Is this possible in Virginia? Virginia is in zone 7 btw. I'd like to plant right away if this is the case. Are nurseries the best places to find seeds or do I need to order?|||I also live in Virginia and now is the right time to plant both. In Virginia both can become perennials. Spinach takes about 45 days and chard takes about 60. Seeds from any place will do or you can try a mail order place, they often have more varieties.

I am newly registered, well I have applied in the middle of December but have not gotten my voter card yet. The Virginia application didn't have a slot to put your party affiliation.|||Virginia does not require you to register as a party member.

You can only vote in one primary, though.

I know it was a while ago, but I live near the epicenter of the Virginia earthquake and I just wanted to know if there was a chance that it was a foreshock, and if so, how big of a chance?|||According to Wikipedia, 40% of moderate to large earthquakes have foreshocks. A moderate earthquake is one with a magnitude of at least 5.0. There are around 940 moderate or higher earthquakes per year. There are around 3.4 million smaller earthquakes per year. Foreshocks can happen more than a year before the main quake, but the odds of it being a foreshock for a large quake within a year are approximately 1 in 9,000. The odds of it being a foreshock for a major (>7.0) quake are around 1 in 250,000.|||Thanks :) Report Abuse

Yes, all poisonous snakes have fangs that act as hypodermic needles - injecting the venom into the body of their victim.
No, the venomless ones have teeth, but no fangs with which to kill the ones they bite.|||There are only three species of venomous snale in VA and the cottonmouth is restricted to the southern coastal plain.

Unfortunately, they have recently notified me that they are no longer going to cover residents of Virginia. I could change companies but, this is a hassle and I lose the discounts that I have earned over the years for not having filed a claim. Therefore I would like to find a policy that covers only earthquake damage. Thank you for your help with this matter. It is greatly appreciated.|||Well, ANY property carrier should be able to do it, but it's NOT going to be as cheap as it was on your homeowners policy.
So if your current policy is through an independent agent, ask them to get you a quote on stand-alone earthquake coverage. If it's through an Allstate, or State Farm, they likely won't be able to help you, as you're MOST likely looking at a surplus lines carrier.
SO. You'll need a referral from your current agent, to an independent that will be willing to help you.
Keep in mind, this policy will PROBABLY have a minimum premium of around $2500, with a 5% deductible. That's the cost to issue this type of policy. You were PROBABLY paying around $200 to $300 on your homeowners policy. There's a HUGE price difference. You REALLY might be better off moving the homeowners policy.|||If you qualify for a claims free discount with your current company, you'll qualify for a claims free discount with other companies. As much as it is a pain to switch Homeowner's insurer, the cost, time and hassle associated with trying to find someone who will issue a stand alone earthquake policy, let alone the cost of one if you can find someone, is far greater than switching to another insurer who will insure your home with earthquake coverage.

My boyfriend did not have health insurance and was admitted to a Virginia hospital. He was in the Cardiac ICU for 15 hours and passed away. He did not have any surgery. The bill for the hospital is $62,000 and the doctor's bill is $6000. This is with no health insurance or Medicare. I am the executor of his estate and there is not enough money for these and it seems excessive for 15 hours. What recourse, if any, do I have?|||The nurses and the billing department run a hospital. The amount billed seems insane to me. I assume they thought it was an insurance case or government program so the payer was not a real person. I would ask for meeting to mitigate the amount of the bill to conform with the standards in the normal course of medical practice. I really cannot imagine the figure 62K but the medical community is so exalted by the public that you look like the bad guy as the executor. I would seek guidance from the Virginia equivalent of the Health Cost Review Authority that exists in my state. The State Health Dept. of Virginia should point you to some mediation board. I would like to think that the adminstrator of the hospital would compromise the bill. You could talk to a lawyer; but, I would talk with the hospital pressure point. It could be a nurse or the hospital administrator. I am certain that the doctor has little or no concern about your problem. I am not familar with a doctor who has a genuine interest in a patient. Your doctor here may be the exception but that is only 6K. You are talking about 68K total?|||If the Virgina Hospital is a Non-Profit they will not be able to sue on a civil court for profit for the surgery due to the Non-Profit status. Being the patient is the beneficiary of the charities and it's cause. As long as the executor is not rich they wouldn't be able to Non Charity the claim "lack of better word". Move anything away from debt collectors who may attempt to collect this money if you have that much. Anyway their not going to be able to sue, but will use all the traps to convince you to settle the debt. You may have to pay the doctor bill because that doesn't ably to the Non-Profit.

He was very successful in completing the bachelors and works in LA now. He is also checking out UCLA's masters program.

I got 3 points on my license for going 9 over the speed limit. Can someone show me the link for which online courses I can take to have the points removed.

Roughly 3 years from the date of conviction. If you want to keep points off your record you MUST request the course BEFORE you plead guilty, or pay the ticket.

I interviewed with a nationally known non-profit wildlife organization in Reston, Virginia. I am just out of college, with a Master's degree and I am from the midwest, so I don't know what salary range I should be looking for. They asked me in the first interview, and I just guessed, but I think I may have been off. I want a decent living in northern Virginia. What should I ask for?|||Here are two links that may be helpful to you. The first is to a free salary survey at PayScale.com: http://www.payscale.com/?src=yahooA The survey provides accurate salary data for your specific position, taking factors such as location, qualifications, and experience into consideration.
The second is to PayScale's cost of living calculator: http://www.payscale.com/cost-of-living-c鈥?/a> you can use the calculator to compare the cost of living in Virginia with your current location, and to evaluate how your standard of living might be affected by the salary you earn there.

Assistant to Dr. Salary|||go to salary.com|||This is a tough one since because it is a non-profit group the expect you to take a low salary. However, there is no cheap way to make a decent living in northern Virginia. $50,000 is chump change for someone with a Master's degree. I would say a minimum of $65,000 just to start in what you can expect at a normal business, but non-profit groups expect you to take less. Good Luck.

Unfortunately, it sounds like you will be making at least 3 stops changing airlines. I would really look into traveling from Cydney to the USA into San francisco or Los Angeles- on either United airlines OR Qantas. And once you are in the USA you could try Southwest OR American Airlines- they both fly into norfolk. Also, American airlines might offer you the cheapest route since they are the ONLY airline that goes all the way from Cydney to Norfolk.

Then make sure you do not do anything that is restricted only to them. For example, if it says only a doctor can prescribe any kind of medication for the treatment of disease and then you turn around and prescribe some Willard Water (holistic water from Tonopah, Nevada) for gout then you could be tried for practicing medicine without a license.|||Practicing unlicensed medicine is a felony crime in Virginia.

I need to write a 5 page cause and effect research paper for my english class and I'm going to do it on the Virginia Tech Massacre. I don't know whether to format it with 3 effects or 3 causes or both cause and effect. How should I format the subject into paragraphs? Pleeeease help me ASAP. Many, many thanks in advance!|||It depends on what your explanation will be. If you have three separate causes that created three separate and unique effects, then go with that method. Be careful though, because it could look too much like a “shotgun” approach (when you try to cover everything but you end up covering nothing in depth). I think for this particular essay, you should thoroughly explore one cause and its effects, or multiple causes that created one effect. I think the more you can focus your essay, the better it will be.
The best essays are when you thoroughly and completely analyze a topic and explain how your evidence supports your thesis, rather than just throwing out a bunch of facts that kindda sortta might support your thesis, but lack analysis.

I want to see pictures and know if this is a place where I'd really want to live. I would love a change and would love to go, but I need to find this stuff out first. Please if you know anything, help!|||Yes, West Virginia is a great area with really nice folks. I am not sure if you have a particular area you are looking at or are interested in but anywhere along the Ohio River is nice. Cities away from the mountains I would recommend include Parkersburg, Clarksburg, and Huntington. The capitol of Charleston is nice as well if you don't mind the heavy traffic of I-77, 79, and 64 which split the city. As for the mountains Elkins and Lewisburg are pretty nice, Elkins is actually under major renovation right now, they are really working to improve the downtown area. The fastest growing area in the state is the Eastern Panhandle, and all of the towns over there are nice, such as Berkeley Springs, Martinsburg, Romney, and Petersburg.
Keep in mind, except for Parkersburg, Huntington, and Charleston, all of these towns have under 30,000 residents so I hope you do not mind the slower-paced lifestyle because that's sort of West Virginia in a nutshell. It's a beautiful state, a very laid back and relaxing place to live, but if you are used to the city lifestyle you probably will not like it all that well unless you live in the Charleston/St. Albans/Huntington area (that is pretty much the "metro" area of the state). Now, Morgantown is, of course, home to WVU and can be crowded during sporting events, and continues to grow, but it too fits into the "under 30,000" category. In any event, if I can be of further help don't hesitate to send an e-mail my way and I'll be happy to answer any other questions you may have.

Check your local ordinances and regulations for the lake and community where you plan to sink structure. Some structure is necessary, and usually improves fishing, but too much can "choke" a body of water by creating too much plant life in the water, so it is regulated in places.

As far as consequences, they can be even more far-reaching, ranging from self-guilt to whatever civil penalties as may be requested by the victim and awarded by a civil court. While in Criminal Court, the defendant must be proven to be guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, Civil Courts require only a preponderance of the evidence. In other words, the burden of proof is much less in Civil Courts, where the court make monetary awards. Below is the wording of the code as written.

I would think humidity would speed up the oil production in your hair as well. Who knows. I have no knowledge of hair really, but I like to think I do-so I make up things and convince myself that's why.

I want to surprise my girlfriend on saturday and she is in northern Virginia. Im just not sure how to drive straight through without stopping to sleep as i have work on monday and need to be back to Dallas.|||No Dox tablets. Energy drinks. CocaCola. Coffee. Take it ALL and loud music. I do suggest that you try to take a 45mins nap at a rest stop if possible it'll be safer for you to drive alertly and it may give you the energy you need to drive faster to make up for the lost time napping.
I know other people are going to tell you not to do this. But you are going to anywyay, so I'm just giving you the answer to the question you asked. I hope your girlfriend appreciates your sacrifice when you get there. And try not to fall asleep when you get back to work.
PLEASE be careful.|||i wouldn't suggest it at all. driving tired is the same as driving drunk. you risk falling asleep. a bus can get you there nearly same amount of time and a plane can get you there quicker with less risk so the money spent is worth it in the long run|||take your time and call in on monday so you have time to take breaks to sleep. you really shouldn't drive when you're tired.
but really, just fly there.|||I would suggest you take the train. It is probably not that much more expensive than the gas you will be using. You might even be able to fine a cheap flight into Dulles or National and rent a car.
If you insist on driving, see if a friend will come with you - that way, one can sleep, and the other can drive.|||I appreciate a good road trip as much as anyone, but this is one of those situations where it isn't worth it... Even if you get a solid 30 MPG and only spend $2.50 per gallon on gas (which is most likely a gross underestimate), the 2,658-mile round-trip drive will end up costing you $221.50 in gas alone, and that doesn't take into account wear on the car and tires, the oil change you'll need when you get back, etc.
A flight at this late notice will probably cost you at least $400, but the train could be well under $200.
I'd be fine with anybody winning it all but Duke. I find it sad that some horrible calls against Baylor corrupted the game too.
Even if they didn't play Duke I'd be rooting for them though being from the Big East and liking their players mainly Dasean Butler from my hometown
this Final Four is crap to me though other than the MSU-Butler semifinal. If Duke plays for the title I'm boycotting it
But back to the original question, is anybody else rooting for West Virginia to win it all?|||Me obviously, go West Virginia kick Duke's butt!|||I'm not im going for Butler they have beaten Kansas State and Syracuse and won 24 straight also i live in Indiana so im rooting for them our home crowd will over come the other teams you'll see|||Im actually a Tennessee Vols fan but I can't root for WVU in their semi finals game becuase i have Duke wining it all in my bracket. I want Butler to win since MSU knocked out my Vols. Duke will win because my bracket says so|||I am hoping for Michigan State to win this.|||I'm 100% with you man; I'm tired of seeing Duke there. And while I like MSU; kinda getting bored with them being there too, though Tom Izzo is a great coach. I'd be fine if Butler or West Virginia won it; but I'm leaning more towards WVU since they are a Big East team, though that kid Gordon Hayward on Butler is awesome.|||Sure
But since I'm 0-10+ on predictions over the last 2 weeks, I'm going with the jinx strategy and predicting Duke will shoot the lights out in Indy and take down WVU and MSU for their *vomit* 4th National Title.|||I'm rooting for West Virginia. I hope it's Michigan State vs WVU. I absolutely hate Duke.|||Michigan State is my fave team besides UCLA, tom izzo is one of the best college coaches.

I don't think they will win it all, but I usually pull for the underdog when my team isn't involved. This is my order of preference:
1. Butler
2. Mich St

For Virginia residents - Can you please tell me the makes and models of scooters that are street legal - meaning you can ride them in traffic. I am not talking about the small scooters you can ride on sidewalks or on the side of the road. Also, for street legal scooters, do I have to have a motorcycle license or is a driver's license okay? Thanks for your help in advance.|||In Virginia, anything under 50cc you don't need a motorcycle endorsement. But remember, they will only max out at around 30-40 MPH. Get your motorcycle licence, its not that big a deal. Then get something with at least a 125cc engine. You will appreciate the extra power.
Stay away from the Pep Boys scooters, they are infamous crap. Pep Boys is happy to sell them to you, but they won't service it.
Don't buy anything on the internet. You really need to go to a dealer, sit on them and find the right scooter which fits you to a tee!. Your best bet is to stick to the brand names.
Honda, Yamaha, Vespa, Piaggio, Genuine, Aprilia,Kymco, E-Ton, TGB... If you are in Northern VA, you can check out Coleman Powersports in Falls Church and Woodbridge, Vespa Washington (in DC).. Near Richmond?, Vespa Richmond and Scoot Richmond (SCOMO).|||Virginia DMV
http://www.dmv.virginia.gov/webdoc/citiz鈥?/a>
Check your regional Pep Boys in-store specials . . the SC50 scooter is sometimes offered with a $100 rebate making the final price around $730 + tax. Pep Boys does not service them however, so you will need to do oil changes and other routine maintenance yourself (unless you're female and can exploit a male unit into doing it for you).

Also check your regional craigslist > for sale > motorcycles for used scooter values.

If the 49cc 4-stroke 30 mph top speed (slower on hills) is not suitable for your needs, a 150cc scooter has around a 55 mph top speed, but also requires a motorcycle endorsement on your driver license (in addition to insurance and registration).

Looking for somewhere in the vicinity of Northern Virginia. Somewhere where I can just park my car, get out, set up a blanket and lay down. Preferably within one hour driving distance.|||Scroll down on the first link to December 4th. You get a good stargazing night with NOVAC...the Northern Virginia Astronomy Club...at one of the public observing nights, like a star party.
Free, but some places there's an overnight parking charge of $4 or so.
There will be members with telescopes all set up and some good folks to meet for a guided tour round the sky.
If you turn up in a car after dark turn off the headlamps as you approach the field where it's all set up.
It's normal manners at star parties so it doesn't mess up people's eyes when they've got their night vision sorted already.
Take some food and a flask of coffee or a camping stove for hot fresh coffee. Use stoves well away from the telescopes.
Loads of folks will be doing the same so no worries.
Gotta eat. It gets cold at night. Plenty of warm clothing, some hot food and coffee makes the night more comfortable.

I have been into court for custody / child support in the state of Virginia for the passed two years now. Nothing is getting done here to help me. My ex husband knows this judge and his son very well. I have told the passed three attorneys that I have had about this and nothing.
So I want to make this known! But how do I do so?|||The judge is supposed to recuse himself (disqualify himself) from a case if he is friends with one of the parties.
Produce definite evidence of the relationship between the judge and your ex, then your attorney will have to bring this to the judge's attention and ask him to withdraw. They can't do it just on your say-so. It needs be more than membership of the same big social or sporting club, it needs to be evidence they meet socially on purpose in a friendly way (eg dinner at each other's places, fishing together etc)|||make a motion to recuse. depending on your state laws about recusal. many states require a monetary interest, for the judge to have been an attonrey for one party, or another reason the judge would be impartial for personal interest reason.

I received 2 quotes for title charges for refinancing a mortgage in Virginia.
One has itemized three "endorsements" totaling $250. The other does not have the endorsements, but the basic policy is more expensive.
Is it typical for title insurance providers to bundle all required endorsements on the HUD settlement statement as simply "Title Insurance", and is there a way to determine the exact requirements for a title policy for my mortgage?|||depending on the type of property many endorsements may be required by the new lender|||The Title company must do a complete search to ensure you are the true owner and have no liens against the property.

I know that Virginia had the largest number of slaves, but why? I can't find the answer anywhere.|||Slavery was legal and accepted. Virgina was the larges colony and it was comosed of large farms or plantations which made a wealthy colony.|||As a matter of fact, Virginia had the largest number of slaves because she was ver wealthy and could afford them.
Margaret, in contrast had but a few slaves, due to the repeated failures of the guppy harvests from 1716 to 1804. She should have invested her money in the grapefruit soup mono[poly instead. Then she would have had the means to have many more slavfes than Virginia.

Yes I have a question about my legal right about a polygraph test like how accurate it is and also can it be used in Virginia court systems? I have been accused of something really embarassing and the police want me to take a polygraph but when I get around police period I go into a nervious state. My main is if I fail can the police throw charges on me and can it be used in court?|||You can always refuse a polygraph test. It is unreliable and not admissible except in rare circumstances. You will have to ask a VA lawyer if it could be used in your situation.The police may regard your refusal as some indication you are guilty, but if you have already been charged with something, they don't need it and you definitely should not take it. If someone is saying you did something illegal, and that allegation is being investigated, a polygraph could help you if you are not guilty, but only if it is administered by a well-trained, highly experienced polygraph expert. There are not a lot of those around, and they are not cheap
A lot of people are nervous when subjected to a polygraph, guilty or not. A good administrator takes his/her time to get you comfortable with the test, even bored. Most local police types administering the test do not do a good job of that.|||The polygraph can not be used in a court of law. My best advice is get an attorney and get one fast. You do not have to take a polygraph that is your choice not the Detectives investigating the case. Nothing good can come from taking one. It is not like if you pass the Detectives are gonna drop the case. If you fail it is only going to want to make them dig deeper into your story. I say do not speak with them under any circumstances. Go get advice from an attoryney. In the yellow pages you can look for an attorney and mostof them will give you an hour free so take them up on it.|||Polygraph results aren't admissible in court anywhere, because they aren't completely accurate.
But, they are accurate enough for investigative purposes. The police want you to take a polygraph so they'll know if they are on the right track. If the polygraph shows that you didn't do it, then they'll focus their energies elsewhere.
And, everyone's nervous when they take a polygraph. The examiners are able to take that into account.|||Polygraph test are inadmissable in a court of law for the exact reason you mentioned. That means a ploygraph test can NOT be used in a court of law anywhere in the United States. In most jurisdictions, if you work on an armored truck, around large sums of money or for the Federal Government you may be required to take a polygraph for continued employment however, generally these cannot be used in a court of law.|||You are not required to take a polygraph, and if you did volunteer to take one, it could not be used against you in court. As mentioned previously, there is enough inaccuracy to not trust the results.
As for being nervous about taking it, this is not much of an issue. They do some initial questions to get a baseline that is used for the rest of the questions, so that (supposedly) nervousness will not show as an untruth.|||Some States (NJ is one) allow for "stipulated" polygraph results to be admitted in court. If both the State and defendant agree in advance that the results would be admissible in court, they can be admitted. If there is no agreement, the results would not be admissible.|||You don't have to take the test if you don't want to.|||Polygraph tests are not admissible in court and therefore not required.

I'm working in Virginia for the summer. There are two other summer workers here that are residents of Virginia, but I am currently a resident of Maryland. We all work full time (40 hours/ week), however it seems that every paycheck the other two summer interns receive about $40 more than I do. I'm told that Maryland's income tax IS greater than Virginia's, but does that sound like a correct margin of difference?|||I don't know as there are also other factors involved that determine how much state income tax is taken out of your paycheck. But each state sets that rate according to what their state legislation determines it needs to be set at.
Just like federal income tax is dependent on what you claim on your W-4, state taxes usually work the same way. A single person with no children will have more taken in state tax than a married person with 2 children (assuming their gross income is the same).
So if you take all factors into consideration (tax rate in the the two states, gross salary, withholdings claimed on W-4, etc.), a $40 difference is very possible.
I've looked everywhere on the net to find out but got no answer, unfortunately.
I'm writing a novel and I was wondering how long it would take to fly from Langley, Virginia to New Mexico. I need to know this because it's written in a real-time format.
Thanks!|||About 4 and a half hours depending on winds aloft|||Langley huh! Going to Los Almos or White Sands? About 4 hrs. direct.|||You probably couldn't find it because there's no airport there.

I would like to start a real estate company in Virginia with two other people. Only one of us will be a licesed realtor. Is that OK? Are there any resources out there than can help me plan this company? Thanks!|||This came from your States Association Web Site:
Licensure and ownership
of real estate firms
Who may own a real estate firm? The answer is simple:
anyone may own a real estate firm. There is no requirement
that owners of a real estate firm be licensed. However,
there are some things you need to know.
While a non-licensed person can own an interest in a
real estate firm, there are limits on the types of ownership
available to certain licensees.
Corporations: Any person, whether licensed or not,
may be a shareholder or director of a corporation. Generally,
only brokers may be officers (president, vice-president,
etc.). Salespersons who are active in the business
may not be officers. (However, salespersons who are not
active in the business may be officers.)
Partnerships: Salespersons who are active in the business
may not be members of partnerships. All partners must be
either non-licensees or brokers. (A salesperson who is not
active in the business may, however, be a partner.)
Limited liability companies: Salespersons who are
active in the business may not be members (owners) of an
LLC. (However, salespersons who are not actively engaged
in the business may be members of an LLC.) Otherwise,
all members must be either non-licensees or brokers.

To set up an office, you need to totally understand how to run a Brokerage, costs, bookkeeping, etc. I'd suggest looking at some of the smaller franchises because they are generally inexpensive and most have assistance for opening offices.
I know when I opened my office they made me go through a Broker Owners 5 day intensive training and boy did I learn a lot!

Not necessarily. You can visit http://www.propertysupport.info for some useful info on starting real estate business. Good luck!|||Depends on what type of "Real Estate" you plan on doing. Will you manage apartment complexes, will you manage retail properties, or commercial, will you be selling homes?
If you are selling homes, one of you needs to be a broker, a Realtor only holds a real estate sales associates license someone needs to be a Broker who handles and oversees other sales people.
To be on the safeside one of you should have your brokers license, being that only one holds a license then as long as they have been licensed for two years then they can get a Brokers license.
Requirements to sit for the Brokers exam is that you must have held a sales associates license for no less than 2 years.

I currently hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration. I am considering obtaining my initial teaching license with PK-6 endorsements. Ultimately, my goal would be to become a school principal one day. What is the best path to reach this goal? Please tailor your answer to requirements in Virginia. Thanks in advance!|||Most of the teachers that I've worked with that have gone on to become administrators follow this path.
They teach in their subject area for at least 3 years, mostly while they're working on their administrative degree.
Once they have obtained that, they usually apply to be an assistant principal over the summer during summer school to get their bearings.
If that works out, they then go on to get a position as an assistant principal, usually at another school.
After many years of work and dedication as an assistant principal, they generally move up to API positions or APO positions, and then from there may transition up to becoming principal of a school.
This more often than not requires transfers between schools, and sometimes districts.
My wife was struck with a shovel (we have the shovel) by her ex-husband in Martinsville Virginia and the police never investigated the incident. (we have a forensic scientist's report) She was placed on IV's (we have the IV materials) in the home by her ex, who is a doctor, and was later rushed by helicopter for emergency surgery. For years we haven't been able to pursue this since our children were young and my wife had serious health issues to overcome.

But were the polict not notified in the begining? If they were then they should have pursued the case.|||It's not your role to pursue criminal charges against another person. It's the role of the police. If you neglected to file charges at the time of the incident then it's up to the police to decide if they have legal grounds.
What you really want to do is sue for damages; however in Virginia, the statute of limitations on personal injury lawsuits is two years.

Is anyone as outraged as I am at how the media is splashing the killers face across the TV any chance they get?!?! At how the media is doing EXACTLY what the killer wanted them to do, to display his tape?!?! At how the media will give every sicko out there an idea if you want to go out do it this way!?!? How it took less than two days for the media to turn every single frickin report on Virginia Tech into a mini-drama with cut scenes and theme music!!!
What the media is doing will lead to more and more school shootings. It's exactly what they are hoping it will do since it will create news.
The next tragedy to strike should be the resignation of all sitting news media CEO's for the harm they are causing not only to the United States but the world!|||I am just as disgusted...the first thing they did with the tapes was copy, edit, air....then call the authorities....in a report this morning they said they turned it over before it was opened....uh...hello, then why are we watching these clips? I am all for understanding why killers do what they do for preventative measures but this was done for ratings and money....no more...no less.|||It's the media's job to excite the public with outrageous tragedies.

It's getting ridiculous.|||Because pain sells, especially other peoples. But also, in a huge part, because they want to convince us that we should allow cops and government more control over our personal safety. No one seems to have wondered where we would be if the victims had been armed.|||I agree w/ you 100%. Remember this, the MEDIA tells you what THEY want you to know. Plus Bush is thanking his lucky stars and is telling Cho's family, "Thanks for taking the pressure off of me & my oil deals in Iraq"! What the media is going for is coverage. They would rather report about some whack job going LOOLOO with a gun on ANY campus USA instead of some child under the age of 10 saving another person's life. Why? Becuase that's boring. It doesn't matter where in the world you are, "The media tells you what THEY want you to know!"|||You are right. They should try and cover this event up.

Will this send a message out to other sick individuals, that if they go on a killing spree, they too will get their fifteen minutes of fame? I
t sickens me to think that this is what our world is coming to.

What's worse are the people who whole heartedly will argue tooth and nail against your question because it seems unsympathetic. The fact is that the majority of Americans are gobbling up the big heaping plate of BS that the media is feeding them and are asking for more!
The media pampers to what people watch most. The only way the American public will watch something is if it looks cinematic. It must be sensationalized to the extreme. "It's the worst thing to happen in ages!" Folks don't want to hear about it unless it looks melodramatic.
No, it's not. What it IS, however, is the BEST thing to happen for the MEDIA in ages.

I am thinking of getting out of my lease for the apartment that I am renting. Are there any Virginia laws which would apply a penalty for doing so?|||The answer to that lies in your lease agreement. Virginia law is very strict and verbose in most areas; however, when it comes to lease disputes, there is very little statuary law. Essentially, what you can do is break the lease by talking to your landlord and trying to resolve it that way and document everything. Take pictures of problems with the apartment, and document when you discussed them with the landlord. DOCUMENT EVERYTHING!
Your landlord can try to collect the rent in small claims court. If he/she does, you can appeal the decision to District court which takes about 3-4 months, but the outcome is still directly related to what is written in your original lease agreement. You can argue that the living conditions are not reciprocal to the amount of rent you pay, but that is up to the court to decide. And don't forget...if your landlord is angry...he can list the break in the lease on your credit report as non-payment.
Honestly, the best thing you can do is to talk to your landlord about options. If you really want out..consider making a deal that you pay for the listing fees in the newspaper to get a new tenant in your stead. It would be cheaper than rent and your landlord may just take your offer.|||There are no Virginia laws as such. Any penalty for termination of your lease contract is contained within your lease. If the lease contract offers no 'exit arrangements', then you are responsible for the rents for the premises until the lease expires. The landlord's only duty is to try to re-rent the premises to mitigate your damages.
I want to go into the Sonography program, but the only 2 schools I've found in Austin are Austin Community College and Virginia College.

Is it worth my time to go up there?|||You are better off at the Eastview campus area than the Virginia College area. Trust me, I work for the Austin PD, I can tell you much more crime happens around where Virginia College is than Eastview. The good thing about Austin is though, there are many bus routes that head to the ACC campuses. If you don't plan on driving, there are routes coming from everywhere. Good luck!
P.S. Virginia College credits don't transfer to a University in case you ever wanted to continue your education. ACC's do.

I want to know if Virginia is important to the Southern colonies?
What role does it take?|||Virginia is almost a swing state. Slavery did flourish there in the 1700s and her politicians were heavily involved in the creation of the nation and she had power when it came to laws favorable to slavery. Later as slavery grew more powerful in the cotton rich regions of the Deep South (Alabama, Mississippi) the center of the slavery movement shifted south away from Virginia.
At the time of the Civil War there was almost no doubt Virginia would go with the South. With the capital being in Richmond, Virginia is now considered a solid part of the Confederate South.
When West Virginia seceded from Virginia in 1863 and joined the Union, that was big blow to the Confederacy.|||Of course it's important to the colony.
It's where the center of crops are usually harvested (Tobacco, Sugar cane, Indigo), it took on a role of being one of the first colony's to actually establish a nice economy in the colony's
I'd really like to hear from people that HAVE had this experience in Virginia. I was going 91 in a 65 zone. I live out of state but I see on the back of the ticket there's a possibility to be fined up to $2500. I need to know how much it usually is and if it stays as a misdemeanor forever or just for a few years on your record.|||Well, It depends on the judge you get and what county. I live in Va and you will probably get a ticket from 1,000.00 -1,800.00 and it will stay on your record for 7 years. Good Luck & Slow Down!!|||First and foremost, get an experienced reckless driving lawyer in Virginia. At 91 mph, most judges in Virginia will put you in jail. Second, this is a class 1 misdemeanor. The fine is not the issue usually. The jail time, the loss of your privilege to driving in Virginia and possibly being reported to your home state are the main issues. Also, your insurance rates may skyrocket.|||In VA you have to show in court. You can't prepay. If they give you suspension in VA your license will be suspended in your home state. Reckless driving generally stays on your record for 11 years. It can be less but that depends on if it was speeding.
The smart person gets a lawyer and minimizes the financial impact later.|||i live in va ive gotten a reckless ticket beforre my advice is to go to court i know you live out of state but it will save u money go to court and you will get proven guilty but ask the judge to go to driving school and they have to let you and it will get dismissed you will just have to pay like 60 for school and it wont go on your record but if dont go it depends if it was a state city or county state is more expensive then city then county and if it is a road tons of ppl have died on they will burn u but i would say 500 if city 800 state im guessing bc i did the school|||Well I live in Virginia and my husband got a reckless driving ticket and it was 250.00 all together, it wasn't no wear near 2500.00, still a lot though.

For instance, 10 hours ago (1:31 AM EST) there was another earthquake in Virginia of magnitude 3.4. You can see this clearly on the map.|||The aftershocks are always smaller than the original quake. If they are bigger, it is considered a separate earthquake(if the epicenter is far enough away geologically) or even the main earthquake and then the original earthquake is considered a foreshock. Also, aftershocks are more likely if the earthquake was shallow, as this one was. I live about 40 miles north of the one today and, though I grew up in San Diego, this one was scary, especially since the ground is not supposed to move like that here in VA. LOL|||Omg it was so scary i live in virginia and i was like freaking out but the earthquake was a 5.8 and the after shocks at the most should be around 2.8 way less than what we felt tuesday but i think there over now but there was one last night i think it was the last it was a 4.5 which was still scary but less than tuesday|||There was a 4.5 aftershock early this morning. It woke me up but I'm several miles from the epicenter so it wasn't bad. Right now everyone is freaking out more over Hurricane Irene and we're going to be evacuating. So this is a great week for Virginia.|||By definition, aftershocks cannot be worse than the 5.8 earthquake. If they were, then the 5.8 quake will be referred to as a fore-shock. To answer your question a little more directly, nobody can predict whether a stronger quake will occur.|||There already were aftershocks in Virgina, they were around 2.8, and I didn't feel them here in PA. I felt the 5.8. They are not concentrated here so if a big one came, they could feel it in the middle of the US I'm sure. You only need to worry if there is one higher than a 5.8, which is unlikely.|||There will most likely not be an aftershock. I'm originally from CA but it still scared the crap out of me since it's been many many years since I've experienced one AND I live near DC so "EARTHQUAKE!!" wasn't my first thought and wasn't the scariest thought that ran through my head.|||From what I've gathered it could be worse but likely not to be worse. i'm 60 miles from the epicenter and my wife felt the 4.2 aftershock at work at about 805. More to come Im sure. Very strange!|||Probably not. The television reported that you may or may not get aftershocks and they should occur within the next two months. Try to not worry about it .|||Just saw a report that there will not be any tsunami activity after the initial quake however there is still a chance of an aftershock don't think it will be worse though.|||Probably not but I was in the shower during the initial earthquake|||x3

Instead of raising taxes the state of Virginia has decided instead to impose outrageous fines for traffic violations. For example, a $3,000 speeding ticket. Under this new plan the state is counting on raising billions. Is it just me or is this an outrageous abuse of power?|||THE STATE OF VIRGINIA HAS BEEN KNOWN FOR YEARS TO PROFILE DRIVERS FROM OTHER STATES AND THOSE REDNECKS WILL MAKE UP ANY REASON TO GIVE YOU A TICKET. I GOT A TICKET AT DULLES AIRPORT FOR GOING PAST AN AIRPORT COP AND HE ACTUALLY SAID I DISOBEYED A TRAFFIC SIGN WHICH WAS HIS CAR IDLING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE SECOND ONE WAS ON THE ACCESS ROAD FROM DULLES AIRPORT WHERE THERE WAS TOO MUCH TRAFFIC ON THE 495 BETHESDA EXIT, I DECIDED TO GET BACK ON 66 INSTEAD OF BEING STUCK IN THAT TRAFFIC. EVEN THOUGH I WAS STOPPED, THIS FOOL GAVE ME A TICKET FOR RECKLESS DRIVING. IF YOU NOTICE, THE MAJORITY OF THE TICKETS ARE FROM THE EVENING SHIFT COPS. ACCORDING TO A COUPLE GOOD ONES I SPOKE TO ON THE MORNING SHIFT TOLD ME THE EVENING SHIFT WAS AN EXTREMELY AGGRESSIVE GROUP OF COPS AND THERE HAVE BEEN LOTS OF COMPLAINS ABOUT THEM. ANOTHER THING IS THEY PROFILE PEOPLE THAT LOOK FOREIGN TO THEM IN HOPES TO CAPTURE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, AND WHEN THEY FIND OUT THAT THEIR SUSPICIONS ARE WRONG, THEY CREATE A REASON TO CITE YOU. UNFORTUNATELY, WHEN YOU GO TO THEIR TRAILOR COURTHOUSE, THERE IS ALSO A CORRUPT JUDGE WHO DOES NOT LISTEN TO ANYTHING YOU HAVE TO SAY OR EVEN IF YOU HAVE A WITNESS. MY CONCLUTION IS THEY'RE ALL ABOUT REVENUE AND COSTING PEOPLE THEIR LIVELYHOODS WITH FALSE CITATIONS THAT GO TOWARDS YOUR DRIVING RECORD. HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF RECKLESS DRIVING WHERE YOU PAY $150.00 WITHOUT POINTS? AFTER DRIVING IN MARYLAND FOR 12YEARS WITHOUT A SINGLE TICKET, TWO OF THOSE VIRGINIA REDNECKS GOT THE BEST OF ME IN 2003/4 REALLY MESSING MY RECORD. WHEN I REPORTED THEM, THEY STARTED STOPPING ANYBODY THAT DROVE FOR MY COMPANY LOOKING FOR ME FORTUNATELY I HAD CHANGED TO A PRIVATE ONE THAT THEY HAD NO IDEA ABOUT. SO THE MAJORITY OF TICKETS IN THAT STATE ARE ALL ABOUT REVENUE AND FOREIGNERS AND VISITORS FROM OTHER STATES ARE THEIR MAJOR TARGET. ANYONE READIND THIS, STAY AWAY FROM VIRGINIA. IT'S NOT ABOUT WHAT YOU DO. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT REDNECKS THAT HATE THEMSELVES AND WHAT THEY DO FOR A LIVING THAT THEY'RE WILLING TO BRING ANYBODY DOWN FOR NO APPARENT REASON.|||don't speed|||I think I would slow down......|||thats gay
good luck fellow virginians|||I agree wholeheartedly!! Everyone boycott it!!! Drive 20 miles an hour on the interstate!|||Can't pay the fine, don't do the crime. It is against the law to drive in excess of the posted speed limit. I am for it. It is a grand way of raising state revenues.|||too much , are they in deficit? it is outrageous and abuse|||US States can pass any laws they like to deal with people in violation of their rules.
In Indiana & Illinois there are fines, not quite as large, but getting there if someone is speeding through a construction zone. This is because a lot of construction workers have been killed by people ignoring the yellow diamond flashing warning signs.
People are free to appeal this to Supreme Court, provided they can pay some lawyer to take their case. Perhaps a class action suit is duable.
I am wondering how many people can even pay these fines, and what happens then ... will the state confiscate the vehicle that was speeding, sell it at public auction to get the money for the fine?|||I think that the state is feeling just a tad broke so they put a hefty fine on something almost everybody does....the government is always raising prices/taxes to raise money for themselves....sucks but is true....|||that is so cool. i believe that if you drink and drive you should go to jail.. it should be attempt murder.|||Speeders (and reckless drivers) cause accidents that cost taxpayers millions in lost productivity and require expensive safety equipment and structures. Maybe these fines reflect the true cost of speeding and the other violations they're paying for.|||Sounds like a good idea to me.
It's not an abuse of power. It is possible that they could go years and not collect a dime..... All that needs to be done is for the morons behind the wheel to obey the speed laws...
Not a problem for those who obey the laws....

I have a couple of older (barely used) artificial Christmas Trees taking up space in the basement that I am looking to get rid of... Does anyone have any ideas where in the Northern Virginia (metropolitan DC) area I could donate them? I have already tried contacting the usual suspects - Goodwill, Salvation Army, about a half dozen thrift stores - and nobody is interested in taking them. It seems like a waste to just take them to the dump, but I don't have space to store them for much longer and I can't think of many options.|||try craigs list... usually easier to get rid of closer to the holiday tho. (like November)... also try asking a school, nursing home, or VFW hall..Or save them for your own outdoor decorations?|||try a ad in your local paper, or stick up a flyer at work|||Contact a local church...They are normally glad to take them off your hands! That way next year when it comes Christmas time they are able to give them to needy families in your local community!
Or maybe even try your local domestic shelter or homeless shelters....they are always happy to have such sweet donations.

Surely the creation of West Virginia was handled in a way that had, and still does not have, any precedent. It seems to be a mystery how and when the state was created. At the beginning of the Civil War the western end of Virginia prefered to stay in the Union and the eastern end of Virginia preferred to join the Confederacy. Suddenly there was another state in the Union; West Virginia. There has to be a legal procedure of some kind that is valid for such a major step.|||I will not comment on the constitutionality of it--but....
The United States did not recognize the secession of Virginia.
Therefore, it did not recognize the the secessionist government of Virginia, which was in Richmond.
Instead, it recognize what remained of the Virginia legislature, the Unionist legislature, under Pierpont Morgan and meeting in Alexandra Virginia.
That recognized government, even though it was a rump legislature, authorized a convention in Wheeling, Virginia (not West Virginia) to determine if the western part of Virginia wanted to become its own state.
When the convention voted for separation of the new state from Virginia, but the Unionist government of Virginia and the United States accepted that dermination as constitutional and recognized the new jurisidictation. Then West Virginia, just as another other US territory, wrote a constitution and asked for admission to the United State, and the United States accepted it. Meanwhile, even then the USA government recognized the now tiny Unionist goverment as the legstimately government of Virginia, not the secessionist government in Richmond.
That's how it worked. As I say, I don't know the constitutional law well enough to judge.|||Neither Pennsylvania or Ohio wanted it lol. But there's a really cool haunted prison there. Moundsville, check it out.|||Texas was admitted to the Union after it's war for Independence from Mexico.
The District of Columbia was observed as separate from Virginia and Maryland.
Washington Territory was admitted as Washington, Oregon, and part of Idaho.
Wisconsin Territory was included as Minnesota and Wisconsin.
Dacotah Territory was divided and admitted as North Dakota, South Dakota and Montana
Just a few examples/precedents
Although the location of a National Capital was highly contested: There was never a"Constitutional " challenge to any of the preceding.............ALL RATIFIED BY THE CONGRESS OF THE U.S. West Virginia(Kanawha 1861- 1863) voted to stay in the Union) It's only difference From the rest that it was the only "Northern State" south of the Mason-Dixon Line|||First the State of West Virginia exists because a group of lawyers met and figured out how to use the US Constitution to create a state from territories claimed by another state, Virginia.
When Virginia left the Union the 44 western counties had generally rejected the idea of separation and joining the Confederacy. So when Virginia seceded from the Union the representatives of these disgruntaled counties met in Wheeling and elected to leave Virginia.
Article IV, Section 3, of the US Constitution says that no new state can be created from the territory of another without the consent of the losing state's legislature, and the acceptance of the process by the US Congress.
When Virginia left the Union the representatives of the 44 western counties met and declared that they constituted the "Loyal and Restored Government of Virginia" and declared tht they were "the government of the State of Virginia in exile". As the "legitimate" legislature of the State of Virginia they declared their separation from Virginia and the process was accepted by the US Congress in 1863. Lincoln, a pretty good country lawyer himself, initially questioned the concept but eventually agreed that the "letter of the law" had been followed and he backed the creation of the State of West Virginia.
Was it legal? If you are a southron, probably not, but the US Supreme Court has ruled on a couple of occasions that West Virginia is a legitimate state and Virginia eventually had to give up all of its claims on the 55 western counties. So West Virginia exists as a State and will remain.
Hope this helps.|||Had they gone to the Supreme Court instead of Manassas Junction, there might very well be a Confederate States of America today. And Lord knows what would have become of Maryland, where a chunk of the legislature were arrested and habeus corpus suspended to prevent the southern sympathizers' voting. It's Realpolitik, where might makes right.|||Let me explain the Constitutional mechanics of it.
Article IV/Section III says that new states can be admitted, but that no new state can be made from another state, or parts of states without the states' permission. Now, here's what happened...
When the Commonwealth of Virginia held a convention to determine whether or not to secede from the union, the delegates from the western portion of the state (where slavery never took root) said no. They further stated that they would not accept as valid any attempt made to secede.
They were outvoted, and the state seceded. But true to their word, the western delegates would not accept it, and so convened a new legislature in the city of Wheeling. Since the United States did not recognize the legitimacy of the state of Virginia seceding from the union, President Lincoln recognized the Wheeling legislature as the sole legitimate legislature for the WHOLE state of Virginia.
This legislature was invited to send Representatives and Senators to Congress. And pursuant to the Constitution, the Wheeling legislature redrew it's own borders, and ceded back to the United States the rebellious counties of the east for later reconstruction after the war.
Remember, the Constitution says that new states cannot be created from old states UNLESS the state agrees. And because the Wheeling legislature was recognized in law as the legitimate government for the whole state, they could make it work.
After the war, the Commonwealth of Virginia challenged this in the Supreme Court, and lost. The Court's reasoning was essentially the reasoning I've just shared with you.
Hope this helps. Cheers, mate.|||The advent of the American Civil War fueled new desires for a politically separate western area. At the Virginia secession convention of April 1861 a majority of the western delegates opposed secession. In subsequent meetings at Wheeling (May 1861), dominated by the western delegates, the ordinance of secession was declared an illegal attempt to overthrow the federal government. The second Wheeling convention (June) pronounced the Richmond government void, established a restored Government of Virginia, and provided for the election of new state officers. The restored governor, Francis H. Pierpont, secured federal recognition and maintained civil jurisdiction over the region until Congress consented to the admission of West Virginia to the Union on June 20, 1863. A condition of entry was the gradual emancipation of slaves in the region. The capital was permanently established at Charleston in 1885.

Im buying a car in virginia but live in PA, on the invoice there is a fee for "Dealers Business License Tax" of $44.24.
What is this tax?
Am I required to pay this fee or is this another "Processing Fee" they try to slip by ya?|||If you will be paying PA sales tax and registering the vehicle in PA yourself, the only fees to which you should be subject are any temporary registration the dealer provides and locally-imposed taxes like "tire taxes" and, of course, the dreaded "notary and documentation fee" (read "additional dealer profit").
In the case of the Virginia Dealer Business License Tax, according to the Commonwealth Motor Vehicle Dealer Board, the cost of this tax MAY be passed-along to customers if:
If it is listed as a line item on the Buyer鈥檚 order.
If the charge represents the exact amount relative to the sale.
If the local city, county, or town charges such a tax.
You can find the relevant regulation described here:
http://www.mvdb.virginia.gov/pdfs/MVDB34鈥?/a>
While it's up to you whether to knuckle-under on paying a tax that isn't necessarily levied upon the sale of a particular vehicle and the dealer trying to recoup as part of a greater business expense, I'd say its as reasonable to ask you to pay their licensing fees as it would be for you to deduct the cost of your driver license and insurance.
Best of luck. I hope this helps.

Have you ever ridden a chopper? Choppers ride like a rock. They are VERY hard to handle any way but in a straight line. You can drop one very easily and it takes 2 to pick one up. The long front ends are hard on the frame and most frames have to be cut and modified to accept them. I've rode choppers and they suck! Most of them will not ride 2 people so your girlfriend can't ride with you.
I often wonder how many people buy a chopper, ride it once or twice, and then park them or sell them at a loss just to be rid of the monsters.

im thinking of either traveling first or business class to London next fall but because its so far in advance im not able to look up ticket prices and this would be my first time traveling on a plane so i have no experience to go off. so if anyone could tell me theres that would be great. also it dosnt have to be from virginia if you traveled there from anywhere in the U.S would be great. i just need something to go off of. Thanks!|||For a trip in late February, round-trip, business class tickets from Dulles airport to London, Heathrow vary between $2,600 and $4,000, depending on various factors. There are non-stop, 1 -stop and 2- stop flights. The non-stop ones are pretty close to $3,600 for most of them, some of the 1-stop flights are actually quite a bit less - but you might be stopping in Newark (which makes sense), or Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Kennedy or any of a bunch of other places.
First class will be significantly more.
So - there is a starting point. There may be some airlines that will have already published fares for the fall. Take a look at any travel site, or talk with a travel agent.|||It's going to be expensive. Look at the British Airways website you can judge the cost by making an enquiry just like you were making a real booking - but don't take it to the last stage and pay.

The Weather Channel predicted Thursday the Virginia area could see a Category 2 Irene with 100 mph winds on Sunday morning.
All residents from the Carolinas northward through New England should be heeding advice from local officials, he said. Parts of North Carolina, especially the Outer Banks are under mandatory evacuations.
Governor Bob McDonnell declared a state of emergency in Virginia in preparation for Hurricane Irene, which is anticipated to affect the Commonwealth over the weekend. Depending on the storm鈥檚 final track, there is the potential for flooding from both rainfall and storm surge in the eastern part of the state.
Hurricane Irene continues to move north from the Bahamas as a Category 3 hurricane with 115-mile per hour winds today. A hurricane warning is in effect there; a watch is now in effect for North Carolina up to the border of Virginia. "

Back then, timing of when you ate was much different than now. The wealthy or patrons, generally rose later, road horses and then came in for the breakfast. They may have eaten in mid afternoon like a " Tea" and then ate later at night. Many dinners were the point of the whole night.
The lower working class rose earlier and didn't have the same foods of course.

I want to become a private detective in Maryland and Virginia and I am having trouble finding all the information I need. Is there a class/certification I need to take or do I just find an agency willing to hire me and fill out paperwork for the license? Do I need any further training to get licensed to serve court papers?|||A lot of the info is kind of confusing and here is why: A private detective is both a job title and a type of company under state law. In order to be a private investigator, you have to work for a Private Detective Agency which are licensed by the state. You might see solo detectives in the yellow pages and such, but how that works is they started a company first (including getting all the licenses and insurances to run a company) and they just happen to be the only employee (i.e. they are self-employed). You can't start a Private Detective Agency if you have no prior experience, plus it has a lot of other complex requirements. So if you want to be a detective, you have to apply to an existing agency, and during the hiring process, they will give you the needed forms and requirements.
You duties vary based on what the hiring agency needs. Often new hires have more low-risk assignments.

Pharmacy school takes an additional four years and you will graduate with a doctorate. You then have to take the licensing exam for your state.
You will need to make sure that whichever pharmacy schools you plan on applying to will accept community college credits. Most do but some don't.
I don't live in Virginia, but I'm pretty sure that the education process is the same for all states. I would talk to a counselor at the school you plan on attending. The shorter pharmacy course that the community college is offering is probably just Pharmacy Tech. I think you only need a certificate to be a tech.

The problem was that you can not go through firearms training without an agency to sponsor you. Thus, you can not technically graduate from the academy. You would spend all that time and then end up with nothing.
However, there is another option. Look for agencies that allow reserve officers. (IE: Bowling Green in Caroline County, Tappahannock County, etc.) A reserve officer is a volunteer position. Most agencies will send you to the academy on their dime.

There are 25 dead and 4 missing (dead) in the West Virginia mine explosion and hundreds of safety violations in the mine in the last year. (fifty in the last thirty days) It evidently is cheaper to pay the fines for the violations than it is to make the mines safe for the workers.

Isn't this involuntary manslaughter?|||While working in the Chicago area in 1985 there was a company that was using illegal aliens in their establishment where they were reclaiming the silver in used photographic films. They were using poisonous chemicals (cyanide for one) and the workers were complaining of nausea and headaches. They were told by their bosses to live with it or quit as they were illegal and had no rights. Eventually, I believe it was 3, employees died from exposure to the chemical. To the credit of the Cook County authorities, they investigated the working conditions and filed murder charges against the supervision and owners of the company. Several where convicted of manslaughter and served prison terms. It is readily apparent that the management of this Coal Company have a total disregard for the lives of their first line employees. Perhaps it is time murder charges were filed against them and a little prison time would change their views. Of course, this would necessitate a Prosecutor that isn't in the company's pockets.|||You are not going to believe this, and I'm too tired to find a link, but companies like this, that do dangerous work, actually do a cost analysis and figure out if it's cheaper to pay fines for violations or pay off families in lawsuits, and many times it's cheaper to pay off the families than to run the business properly and safely. They consider it a cost of doing business.

What factors explain the development of indentured servitude in early seventeenth century Virginia? What factors led the large Virginia planters to shift from a labor system based upon indentured servitude to one based on slavery? What role did Bacon鈥檚 Rebellion play in this change? What impact did the development of slavery in Virginia have on the social and legal status of blacks in the colony?|||Indentured servitude was a response to the joint need of people to pay for transit to emigrate from Britain, and the need for labor in the farmers.
Bacon's Rebellion changed all that - you couldn't tell just by looking at someone if they were supposed to be free or not during it - so they brought over dark skinned people so that they could discriminate more easily. There were a few slaves before this, but this was the event that basically caused the transition from indentured servitude to slavery.
As a result of equating blacks and slaves, as you can imagine, the rights of free blacks in the colonies went sharply downhill, especially in areas where slaves were common (such as the south).|||Each one of your questions would require a 3 to 5 sentence answer, minimum! You asked 5 questions! I will give you the basic and easiest answer to one or two of your questions. There are great books that are dedicated to each of your individual answers.
Indentured servitude shifted to slavery for two reasons. Greed of course because you went from having someone for 5 to 10 years, to having someone for life. Also many indentured servants would eventually run away and blend in since they were often of European decent. They could easily blend in with people in other towns across the colonies.
Your last two questions are very complex and I would buy books on this. I do not want to answer and not do the question any justice. Unless you need it for school. Still not easily answered on yahoo. But if that is the case. Do your own homework! :-)|||In the agreement for indentured service there was usually freedom clause after a certain period of time served. Many times these clauses would include a tract of land. Other wise Virgina couldn't have gotten anyone to come from Europe in the first place. No such freedom or land was granted for slaves in most cases. As far as Bacon's Rebellion. I'll let you do your own research on that one.
How long is the statute of limitations for the Commonwealth of Virginia to collect on any tax debt...Thank you.|||I believe it is 20 years on Virginia state taxes. If you never filed, they can go back as far as they want. If it is reduced to a judgement it can be renewed again and again. Federal Taxes are not the same as state tax and have a 10 year statute on assessments. There are several permutations to the law and to get an accurate answer in your case, you should consult a Virgina CPA or Enrolled Agent.|||if a court order has been files then there is no statute of limitations, they can collect on that debt up to and even after your death!
I grew up in central Virginia. I always remembered seeing these pineapple looking graphics above people's front doors in colonial style homes. In Williamsburg you see them all the time.

Pineapple's don't even grow here.|||Pineapples were a traditional symbol of hospitality. Back in England in the 1700s, when pineapples were first becoming known, a fruit dealer would buy one at great expense, then rent it out as a display item for parties, until it became too decomposed.
When i was like in 1st grade i dreamed of becoming a teacher. i later decided it just wasnt for me as other interests arose. now i am once again wanting to be a teacher. i am a high school senior and this is one of my potential career choices. i know its not the highest paying job but im really interested in it. i love every aspect about teaching. so my questions are: how many years of college would i need to go through, is it terribly hard becoming one, what classes must i take in college?
for new teachers in virginia: are there certain state tests that are required? could you tell me where you went to college and if you are happy with your career choice?
thanks!|||Welcome! I hope things go well for you.
I'm not from Virginia, but I am a fairly new teacher.
1. Find a college that you are comfortable with. One that has good professors in the teaching area and the one that goes out of it's way to make you feel welcome. Also look for one that has partnerships in local schools (ask YOUR teachers for recomendations too!)
2. Hit the books. There are a lot of educational theorists, and you'll be tested on them all! The good news is that most of it is common sense. I'm sure you'll do fine.
Since you asked: You'll have the general college classes (2 englishes, a couple of maths and sciences, history, etc.) on top of that you'll take some specialized education classes (Child Development, Child Psycology, Educational Methods, atleast one class on Special Education). Then you'll do student teaching. Becoming a teacher isn't hard or time consuming. A typical program will allow you to graduate in 4 years.
3. Get additional certifications. Finding a job in elementary is difficult (next to impossible in some areas). Get your foot in the door by being ESL, SPED, Title 1 certified.
4. Yes, there are almost always certification tests. They are pretty basic, and you shouldn't have dificulty passing.
5. Find that job! Be flexible as to where you teach, the nearest job isn't always the best so be ready to move.
6. The first year is hell.
7. The second year is a lot better.
8. The third year is a breeze compared to the first two.
Good luck, I hope I haven't scared you! We need more young teachers who are passionate about helping others learn!|||Congratulations on your choice, it's a satisfying profession! In VA you need to complete a bachelors degree. The State of Virginia does not offer an undergraduate program in Education / to teach in the public schools. That's really becuase they want to have outstanding teachers! Once you get your BA or BS you may choose to take 15 graduate credits or do a Masters Degree in education. You will need to take some prerequisites courses before entering an education program; some students choose to take some of the courses while going through ed. school. If you can, try to take them while you are working on your undergraduate; it will alleviate on stress...and give you time to learn and enjoy your student teaching experience. To get certified you now need to take the Praxis Exams and that depends on the area that you choose to become certified. Most likely you will need to take the Praxis I and 2 (#1 is general: reading, writing, and math. #2 is the area of specialty you choose). The Praxis is not that hard if you are disciplined, really you shouldn't have a problem passing them. You should try to take them before finishing your ed. program, so the university will have your scores, GPA and they will submit them and reccommend the State to certify you. You may also choose to take the tests later, get a provissionat teaching license, you will be able to teach in the public schools; then YOU will submit everything to the state once you have completed taking the tests. My best advice for a successful career is to always be ahead of the game, it really pays off to have objectives and plan ahead! If you love teaching you have a great future ahead of you. Find a good university, find out what the state requires to become a teacher, and talk and ask questions to professors and students. Best wishes!|||Congratulations on wanting to teach! That is a wonderful career to get into, despite what anyone says. You will need a bachelor's degree, which can be done in four years. If you want a master's, that's another two years, you will get paid more, and could teach college if you wanted. I went to James Madison University, and I highly recommend it. Unless you are going to be a music teacher, your first two years will mainly be general studies classes, then after that you will focus on your major, whether it's math, English, elementary ed., whatever. All teachers must pass the national teacher exams (NTEs) to become licensed by the state of Virginia. I could go on for hours about the benefits, and also the negatives, of going into teaching. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me.

How is married life in the navy in Florida or Virginia like ?
My fiance is in japan now and want to move to Florida when we get married. i want to know how its going to be their. He is a E4 now and i also want to know about living expenses, how I'ts going to be is it really hard and should we move their instead of Virginia....Thanks!|||Once you are married you could live on base, otherwise he will get a cost of living allowance. You could also shop for groceries on the base which helps save money. I really don't think there is much difference between Florida and Virginia (unless it is the DC area, then VA is much more expensive), but VA has a lot more traffic near the Military bases.

I am doing a us history poject and I am making a box with a 3d dimension of a house and crops of virginia in the sixteen hundreds. Do any of you know?? Thanks.|||Tobacco was the money crop, but was replaced by cotton in the 1700s. The crops they grew for themselves included corn, wheat, cabbages, pumpkins, beans, carrots, and fruits such as apples and cherries. Potatoes, too.
Celery didn't come along until a century later and was not grown at that time. Tomatoes were thought to be poisonous. Watermelons, yams, rice, and peanuts were brought in from Africa as part of the slave trade. Not too common in the 1600s.
Hemp was grown for rope, not for smoking.|||Tobacco was their money crop and allowed the colony to survive. They planted tobacco everywhere because it made so much money.|||Hemp. Ms.Hump.|||corn & tobacco rank pretty hi|||Rumor has it that Bob Marley was played a lot back then so...go figure

I am a 20 year old home owner in Virginia and also a full time college student. My roommate who is renting from me is 21. As the property owner, is it legal for me to consume alcohol inside my property and is it legal for people between 18 and 20 to consume alcohol on my property in a social setting? I read somewhere that in Virginia people between the ages of 18 and 20 are allowed to drink alcohol in a privately owned home as long as 21 year olds or older are present. Is this true?|||No, it is not.

My husband is getting out of the Marine Corps and we're doing a dity move. We have to get a weighmaster to weigh our truck, but no one seems to know what that is. Where can I find one in Southwest Virginia?|||Go to any truck weighing station along the interstate.
Otherwise, go to any plant that loads trucks and ask them if they would be willing to quickly weigh your truck.
When my son worked at a sugar factory, they had a weighmaster. They would have done that for you, no problem.
If you are having trouble locating a weigh station, call a national trucking company, like CR England, or Swift...their dispatcher can probably point you to the nearest one to you.|||Truckstops with CAT certified scales are your best bet . State DOT scales will not weigh you for that purpose. Some truckstops use Interstate Certified Scales which are also good. Not knowing a town you are near I suggest doing a web search for Pilot Truckstops , Loves Country Stores, Travel Centers of America , Petro Truckstops and Flying J Truckstops , they all will have one of the two scales. To avoid any discrepancies , weigh the truck first , then when loaded . By using certified scales no one can dispute the weight you get paid for.|||I would think your base has a "weigh" to weigh trucks. If you have trucks, you must weigh them for safety and compliance. Ask them where to go.
I am planning a roadtrip from West Virginia to Colorado, anybody have any "must sees" along I-70 or inbetween? I have an open ended departure date, so anything is game. Suggestions?|||1.

I am trying to get licensed and bonded for my cleaning business in Virginia.
What are the steps that I need to take? Is it through the government or a privately owned business?|||In regards to a license, you should check to see if your local community requires a business license for general cleaning, many don't.
Insurance is for your protection, you should discuss it with a local insurance agent.
As for bonding, that's for your client's protection and could help you get work.
What you are looking for is a Janitorial Bond. It is a form of a fidelity bond and very similar to insurance. It protects your clients in the event an employee is arrested and convicted for stealing from them. You will not be expected to cover the loss.
The rates are based upon the number of employees and the amount of coverage. They range from a $5000 bond with less than 5 employees at $100 to a $100,000 with 25 employees less than $800.
These are instant issue bonds are readily available on the internet. You can run a Google search for Janitorial Bond and find a site that has on line submissions. One of those sites processing on line applications is www.southcoastsurety.com.
You can get more information on this bond and a link to the application at http://southcoastsurety.com/fidelity-bon鈥?/a>|||You will have to do some legwork to find out who regulates the license you are looking to obtain. You will want to ask the licensing department what their requirements for obtain a license are to ensure you can meet all of their standards. Some common requirements include, but are not limited to: passing a test, meeting certain financial requirements, industry experience, clean criminal records, and of course, a surety bond. I can not comment too much on licensing requirements, as they vary greatly depending on occupation and the location of where you are planning on operating. Fortunately, I can go into great detail about getting bonded! As stated above, you are going to want to make certain you can meet all of the requirements to qualify for a license. This is extremely important, as most bonding companies will not do pro-rated returns on cancellations of first year bonds. To get bonded, you will need to find a bond producer (also known as a bond agent). Just as in any profession, the level of competence varies greatly. If you are in need of a bond producer, you should read our article What Makes A Good Surety Bond Producer.|||A bond is an insurance product; so you'd start with the guy who does your business insurance or your house or car insurance, to see if he can write a bond for you. If he can't, he can give you a referral to a LOCAL agent who can.
Keep in mind, a bond probably doesn't do what you probably think it does - it's payable to ONLY the obligee (person) and isn't transferrable. The only person who can "claim" on it, is the person you named when you first take it out.
I designed a room for a friend, and they ended up loving it, showing it to their friends, and now I have two more potential clients who want me to design rooms for them. I don't want to continue with this hobby until I know for sure if I legally can. I live in Virginia, so can I legally do interior design without a certification? Thanks! I'll choose a best answer!|||Hmmm...I'd check with the state consumer affairs dept., if they have one. New Jersey does. You might be able to call yourself something else that makes it clear it is your hobby, not a licensed profession.
Maybe, Room Artist. Picture painters don't need to be licensed. They are called artists. You are an artist at rooms.

They should be able to tell you how long you have to live here in order to be eligible for in state tuition. I live in WV and I think that you have to live here 3 years but I could be wrong. Good luck!
It is taking over my whole landscape - I have ivy around my house and the Virginia creeper is growing right on top. I also heard that you can get a rash from it and I already had a terrible time with poison ivy. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!|||It doesn't cause a rash like poison ivy. To get rid of it you can pull it and pull it and pull it some more. Or you can get a selective weed killer like Weed*b*Gon by Ortho (or something similar) and spray them on a day when the temp is above 60 and it's not going to rain for 24 hours. Be careful not to spray other "broadleaf" plants that you don't want to kill. I used it on a bed of periwinkle covering a hill outside by back door and it killed it in a week. A few came back but a second spray did the job.|||Virginia creeper DOES cause a rash like poison ivy for some of us unlucky gardeners.

I know they mean the Men's Wimbledon championship but no one talks about Virginia Wade.|||Because they are saying that about the Men's side only.

Ask any Scot and he will tell you he isn't British.|||Because they usually brought it up when Andy Murray was playing, I'm sure when Laura Robson makes it big, she'll be the big British hope, and they will say that a Brit hasn't won in how ever many years...

I am getting a Papillon, and I am going to get it spayed. I was wondering how much it costs in Virginia. Where's the best place to go, for the lowest price?|||If you live in Northern Virginia go the the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria (you do not need to be an Alexandria resident) and ask about their reduced spay/neuter program. They have a listing of veterinary clinics and animal hospitals in the area that participate in their program. You buy the reduced spay/neuter certificate from them and then call the animal hospital you chose to set up the appt. The price depends on which animal hospital you choose and the sevices they include.
I chose Del Ray Animal Hospital over near Potomac Yards. It was a little pricier than some of the the others but I know they have a great reputaion. The total was right around $225.|||Most areas have discount spay and neuter clinics. Call a local rescue or the SPCA because they can probably recommend one in the area. There are lots of options when getting your pet spayed to consider. Remember that a spay is fairly intrusive and must be painful for your pup. You will be offered things like a fluids IV during the surgery to help the dog stay hydrated (and heal faster afterwards) and a variety of pain meds. Some places offer pain meds in pill form, or shots or both. These all add to the cost.
It's hard to know what to do. Some dogs bounce back very quickly and others seem to be feeling it for a while, it's hard to tell which camp your dog will fall into. If you can get the dog a pain shot that's given after the surgery, I'd go with that. They're strong and may be enough if your dog bounces back quickly. Then, if they need more you can always go back and get pills. Please consider this in your cost, I know many people don't and its not fair to the dog. Who would want to have your dog in pain when $20 of pills can make them more comfortable!
I have been set an essay over the summer to discuss how four texts are modernist, and the first I have read is 'To The Lighthouse' by Virginia Woolf. I have noted that the narrative features a stream of consciousness and that it has a heavy philosophical focus. Can anybody else help me out please?|||A heavy philosophical focus isn't really a strictly modernist trope. What I think you mean is that the novel forgoes plot for philosophy; the absence of plot and action is a key feature.
You may also wish to discuss the frequent changes in perspective, and subtle allusions to other works of literature.|||This essay covers the work well: http://www.peerpapers.com/essays/Lightho鈥?/a>

(Electric, water, sewage, etc...) I know you would not be responsible for things such as closet organizers! As for the paint, you could benefit from them paintin! Most Va. landlords that allow painting stipulate permissable colors in the lease.

I am going into 9th grade and I'm trying to start college planning. I would love to get into University of Virginia. It is on the top of my list so far.
So what would be some good classes for me to take in high school? What are some thing that I should do?
Most importantly what are the approximate grade ranges for the SAT I, ACT and the approximate GPA and if The University of Virginia requires the SAT II's.
PLEASE RESPOND|||90% of the kids at UVA have a gpa of 3.75 and up.
they admit 33% of the kids that apply
SAT math 620-740
SAT writing 610-720
ACT composite 28-34
SAT reading 600-710
take all the AP classes that you think you you can handle. Don't spend all your time studying though. Find a sport or two you like and join a club or two. Not too many though they want to see commitment and depth in your activities not 50 different things and you're only on the roll call sheet. Anything were you're using leadership skills like Student Council or NHS is great.
I have a history project & all I want to know is some attributes that the Virginia Colony had to offer back when it first started. Thank You! :]|||Few. Starvation, malaria and hostile Amerinds. Conditions were so intolerable that Jamestown was temporarily abandoned in its second year. Attributes: (1) Growing some (unknown) crop on free land for export profit and (2) escape from a miserable existence in England for (unknown) opportunity, also known as freedom.
Hi, I've been reading about the Child Labor Laws of Virginia. It says that twelve and thirteen year old don't need permits to work on farms or gardens and such. Does this apply to flower shops as well? And is it possible for a thirteen year old to get a work permit?
Thank you.|||No, their Insurance won't cover you, you have to be 16 unless you have a workers permit.
Virginia conceal carry at work?|||The only problem would be if your company has a zero tolerance for weapons in the work place. If they do, you can get fired, but not arrested. Its one of the few firearms laws that still need to be challenged in front of SCOTUS|||Yes, they could carry the firearm to work. However, most employers would fire you for that because they have policies explicitly forbidding it. Otherwise it would be illegal (via trespassing) if your state allows businesses to post signs saying "No firearms permitted in these premises" or something similar, as if you do not follow that, you are trespassing.|||I agree with the other answers but I would even expand that to any privately owned building or property.

I was wondering what the law in virginia was on hitting a pregnant woman?

When you call them be sure to be able to tell them how much the package will weigh since that does make a difference, doesn't it?|||Food is not allowed across the border into the US, so if you want them to reach your friend, you should drive to Virginia yourself, and tell the border guards that the cookies are for your own consumption.
I have heard that residential home-owners who are Virginia citizens do not own the crude oil deposits that lie underneath the soil within their own property boundaries in Virginia. Is this correct?|||It is probably correct. There are several possible reasons why.
Most likely the original land owner (farmer?) still owns the minerals. It is often the case when selling property to developers. If he did sell the mineral rights to the developer, then most likely that is where the mineral rights are today.
An alternative is that the state itself owns the minerals. It really is dependent on the property ownership previous to the active development of the area.
Secondarily, it is dependent on whether your area has coal, oil or gas present on it on whether mineral development may occur. With any of these, horizontal or deviated excavation/drilling can be attempted from outside the developed area.|||not you
99.99% of property that is sold since 1940 is without mineral or oil rights.
The original developer most likely still have ownership.
Also, most likely zoning would prohibit any thing and oil production
Three years ago, the home inspector failed to notice that the sill plate in our crawl space is totally rotted out all the way around the foundation, and did not accurately assess the extent of the mold growth/moisture issue in the crawl space.

I ask because I am now in the same boat on something we just found out. There were NUMEROUS OBVIOUS code violations on a deck that was attached to our house before we bought it, and the inspector passed it with absolutely no mention whatsoever. Some aspects of those code violations are now causing damage to our home. I have just contacted an attorney friend in my area to see what recourse we may have.|||unfortunately after 3 years there is not much you can do. Alot of inspectors have their own agenda. they also work mostly for real estate agencies and loan companies which means you being the consumer gets totally screwed. im sorry you have to deal with corruption and incompetence
My daugther is 3 years old. I am currently in Texas and planning to move to Virginia next year. That is why I want to know the minimum age requirement for elementary school in Virginia. I know it is 5 years by Sep 1st in Texas.|||There's good news for you. First of all, Arlington has a full-day kindergarten program that's open (strongly encouraged) for all Arlington children. That's better than most other Virginia counties.
Next, the requirement is that your child be five by 30 September.
Next, you will have a choice between your neighborhood school and a variety of special programs, such as Science Focus and Arlington Traditional.

I applied and got accepted into UVa, but I live out of state. The in-state tuition is about 20,000 less, so I'm considering going and changing to Virginia residency in my sophomore year to save some money. Has anyone attempted this process or have some knowledge of how difficult it would be? Is there a specific number of hours one has to work to demonstrate commitment?|||To gain residency has nothing to do with the school. In order to gain residency in VA you have to get a driver's license and register to vote. Paying taxes, registering a vehicle, obtaining a bill (like a cell phone bill) using your dorm address would all help towards establishing the fact that you intend to be a resident. You have to have this for a year, however, so the day that you touch down in Virginia run to the Charlottesville DMV and transfer over your driver's license and register to vote. This way, by the time next year rolls around you can fill out the form for in state tuition consideration and see a significant decrease in the amount of money you'll be paying out.
Good luck and have fun at UVA :)

"Uncle Sam needed time to think about what he had learned about the diversity of America, so he hiked the Appalachian Mountains. He stopped in a state close to home. (Hint: This state broke away from Virginia during the Civil War. Provide Absolute location.|||West Virginia became the 35th state in the US on this date in 1863. It had broken away from Virginia two years earlier, during the US Civil War, protesting the decision of Virginia's government to secede from the Union. Located in Appalachia, the state is mountainous throughout and carries the nickname "The Mountain State." The Golden Delicious apple was first discovered in Clay County, WV, and it became the official state fruit.

If you wanted to go into DC, here's a list of their most romantic restaurants:http://dc.about.com/od/restaurants/a/rom鈥?/a> There are several restaurants listed there in Northern Virginia and Maryland as well.
I'm a foodie, so from that list I'd certainly choose Citronelle, but that's just me - lol Tabard Inn is generally considered to be more romantic. Wouldn't recommend Two Quail any longer as they've gotten a few poor reviews lately. La Ferme in Chevy Chase is nice - a small quaint cottage - very nice if that would be romantic to you guys. Everyone has different taste.
Go through the list and see which place might appeal to her, to you guys as a couple, and what sort of food you might like best. Take your time choosing and don't concern yourself so much with thinking that the most expensive is necessarily the best. Make sure it's a place where it'll be a wonderful experience... relaxing... enjoyable... not just the most money you can pay for a meal.
Keep in mind that a lot of local restaurants are participating in Restaurant Week August 24 thru 30 and some are running special menus all month. This could mean a bargain meal, a different menu altogether, more crowds, etc - so be sure to inquire before you make reservations.
according to police reports they ruled out the shootings as being an act of terrorism...ok...so what makes it terrorism??
Does the killer have to be middle-eastern?
Does the killer have to use a car bomb instead of a gun?
Does he need to fly a plane into a building or carry a koran?
...this was a planned event. The killer purchased 2 weapons at 2 different times. He allegedly sent written bomb threats at an earlier time to test security. This wasnt a disturbed individual who just snapped. He has been planning this for awhile.
...What would make the Virginia Shooting an act of terrorism?|||Premeditated mass murder is not terrorism. Holding a grudge and/or being mentally unbalanced is not terrorism.
Terrorism - which does not always involve murder (can be kidnapping, sabotage, etc.) - is aymmetrical action against authority, the deliberate act of instilling fear in order to motivate political change.
What makes it terrorism is the kind of followup response you are trying to elicit, not simply the act.
One more important distinction - insurgence is not necessarily terrorism. Or let me put it this way, if native Iraqis taking up arms against U.S. occupiers are terrorists, then so was the celebrated insurgent, George Washington. Granted, there are terrorists in Iraq - the foreign fighters certainly fall into that camp as do those who target civilians.|||well terrorism are warfare tactics from small and weak countries with no military might to make a statement. I dont think South Korea sent that boy over here to shoot people and make a political statement.|||I think the shooting was an act of terrorism and there would be a reason behind the shooting, ie. asians are mistreated at VA Tech. Doubt it, maybe he plays too many online games.
But I don't think they will know a reason until everything is said and done. This was done by a disturbed young man!|||This is NOT an act of terrorism for 2 reasons.
1. Terrorism is defined as "a pre-meditated violent action against people or persons for political purposes or a political cause" This can be through ANY violence - not just guns and bombs.
2. The killer in this instance had psychological / psychotic tendancies and did this because of SELFISH issues. Issues being Psychopathic / Psychotic tendancies.
Terrorism has to be PRE-MEDITATED AND POLITICAL.
Example - If you and your family are being attacked and the reason for you being attacked was "POLITICAL". You then DEFEND yourself ... by definition you are NOT a terrorist as the action has to be PRE-MEDITATED AND POLITICAL.
You COULD argue the war in Iraq is an "act of Terrorism" by the US government as there is NO EVIDENCE that the US was in "imminent danger" and didn't have to defend itself and they did carry out a PRE_MEDITATED attack.
Finally being middle eastern has NOTHING to do with Terrorism|||How about we keep it simple. No political involvement.
It's not always about hate for a religion.
QUOTE YOU: This wasnt a disturbed individual who just snapped
Seems it actually is|||The assumptions you make - mainly that "terrorism" is a vague ambiguous word devoid of factual truth, is correct. "Terrorism" is _arbitrarily_ used by some to justify "defensive" or pro-active measures against a perceived threat.. The political/apolitical distinction raised by "wiz" (above) in arbitrarily defining "terrorism" seems on the surface to have some truth. However, the 911 attacks were not only against the Pentagon, but also a "trade" center, suggesting a disgust by the "terrorists" with the economics of the target (perhaps the "terrorists" were ranting against capitalism). Similarly, the V Tech shooter seemed to have a rage against unjust economic policies which he felt enriched people unfairly. Although a capitalist country is by definition a country which espouses laissez faire (freedom of the markets), the reality is that in every Country, including the US, there is a hybrid capitalist/socialist system whereby the Government steps in to control the economy (Greenspan a simple example).. Thus the V-Tech shooter was expressing disgust with a perceived economic reality which arguably and probably partially resulted from Government action. Thus the shooter ought to be labeled a "terrorist" as well. He will not, though, because the US has no general National interest in addressing the South Korean government, nor does the US Government have as its political agenda a stance or plan for addressing a "loner's" tendency to snap under pressure.|||It's a fine line, but the VT shooting apparently was done by one person driven by his own perceived personal slights, i.e., his girlfriend cheating on him and (supposedly) bad-mouthing him to their friends.
Terrorist acts are "usually" done as part of an organized group movement protesting the existing government and trying to foment change...or attacking another group, i.e., a religion, with a different philosophy. The underlying goal is to create change. Personal revenge does not have that goal.
I did hear that there was a note that said he was angry at his fellow students' materialistic attitudes. If that is true...and I don't know the details, so I'm not saying it is...one "could" make the argument that it was a quasi-terrorist act, but the primary driving force seems to be his own personal anger at his girlfriend and classmates.|||great question?|||I don't think it is an act of terrorism because the killer(s) even if he had prepared is crime, targetted innocent people who represented the source of his frustrations and lack of self confidence...... An act of terrorism tends to be politically motivated (even when the cover of religion is used). The killer was most probably mentally instable... Anguish and pain altough not planned, is something that grows on you and the worst it get the more urgent it is for you to find relieve, but still leaving you enough time to find ways (evil !) of escaping the pain.... This is a very sad event which unfortunately is becoming to frequent in the States|||Well Homeland Security considers child prostitution in Taiwan worth sending people to investigate and gangs in LA a homeland threat so I am sure they will throw out the "T" word to get their fingers in the news feeding frenzy.

I don't think it was his intent to strike fear in the population though, it was simply to kill people.

I am looking for the birth record information of an ancestor of mine, supposedly born in 1858 in Richmond Virginia. Does anyone know where I can find birth records/certificates of people in Virginia around this time? Or at least a place where I can ask if they even have the certificate before I pay?|||"A law requiring the systematic statewide recording of births and deaths was passed by the General Assembly on April 11 1853. Every commissioner of revenue registered births and deaths in his district annually and forwarded the information to the clerk of court, who then supplied the information to the state Auditor of Public Accounts. This law continued in effect until 1896. The Auditor turned the lists over to the Bureau of Vital Statistics in 1918 and the registers were later transferred to the state archives. The Library of Virginia has copies of surviving birth and death records for the period 1853 to 1896 and marriage records prior to 1936."
You will need to contact the Library of Virginia to inquire how to find a copy, if one exists. They are located in Richmond and is an awesome, awesome, awesome place to go do research. Been there a few times myself.|||You could post the name of your ancestor here and someone might come up with something. Are you trying to find your ancestor's parents?
According the their site, they have some records back to 1853.
My friend is being held in a jail in Pennsylvania and after his hearing on Wednesday, the state of Virginia will have the right to have him extradited there. They have to pick him up. What is there time limit to pick him up? My friend said it was ten days and after that they would have to file an extension and the max total is 30 days from the day that they are allowed to pick him up.|||I think that you are confusing the time limit for the action on the detainer with the order for extradition.
He is currently held on a detainer for a warrant of extradition and the courts have a limited amount of time to act on that. Since his court date is Wednesday, the time limit on the warrant is a moot point. The amount of time for extradition is generally set by the judge. On average, they will order that the extradition take place within 30 days.
Unless a flight is required, he will probably be picked up in15 days. The courts in Pennsylvania will have to notify the Sheriff's Office in Virginia of the court findings for the extradition process. They will probably sit on it for a few days before faxing it out. The Sheriff's Office in Virginia will probably take a few days to figure out the logistics of transporting the inmate back to the state.
Good luck!

Its time to move out and I have been to Virginia before. I would like to become a resident there so I could get an apartment... Reason being is that you must be a resident of Virginia in 99% of the apartments.. The other 1% are very expensive ones.

You're asked if you are a US citizen or permanent resident, but state residency is not required. If residency were required then half of the upperclassmen at George Washington University would be homeless. Generally, you get an apartment to establish residency (e.g., for school), not the other way around.
Now, if you are looking to apply for city assisted housing, you have to apply through the city - not directly to the apartment community - and there may or may not be any state residency requirements.

A Permanent resident is someone who is not a US citizen, but has a "green card."

Can anyone tell me things they know about Virginia? I am moving there and I am clueless about it.|||As the above responders stated, where are you from and where are you going? Virginia is a big state and depending on where you live, things are different.
I live in the Richmond area and everything that I like is within reach: a good mix of urban, suburban, and rural within a 30 minute drive; and it is only two hours to the mountains, to the beach, and to DC.
The other two major urban areas are the northern Virginia area (Prince William County and points north) and the Virginia Beach/Hampton Roads/Norfolk area by the Chesapeake Bay/Atlantic Ocean. Again, they have everything that you would want to look for in an urban area. However, traffic in the NOVA area tends to be really bad.
Charlottesville is an interesting mix of urban and rural. With UVA there, they tend to get packed when there is a game, and dead when college is out.
There are two major amusement parks: Kings Dominion and Bush Gardens Williamsburg. Plenty of history, from the American Civil War all throughout, Williamsburg, Yorktown, etc.
Several major colleges: VCU, UVA, VUU, VSU, Va. Tech, William and Mary... Along with the accompanying night life/student life.
My fiance is from New Jersey. She complains about what is not here all the time, such as no delis like she is used to, the heat and humidity, the lack of snow and the fact that no one can drive in it. (There is snow, more so in the northern or western portions. However, being a warmer climate, snow melts when it hits the ground then refrezes into ice, making it more dangerous to drive in than in Yankee territories.)
Virginia is a little bit more laid back than other places. (With the exception of NOVA, but then again most everyone in NOVA is from out of state.) So, the state is what you are willing to make it.

What you must be concerned with is an unobstructed view. In Virginia, you may not hang items off of the rear view mirror. (Rarely enforced... but don't press your luck.) Thus, place the GPS in a spot that will not obstruct your vision. I like placing mine to the top of the window, right of the rear view mirror. You may not be able to reach it there. If possible, maybe you should place it low and to the far left of the drivers column.
A second thing you should pay attention to is to not get distracted by the GPS! Secure it in place while parked. Enter the destination information while parked. Why? If you are in an accident and you state that you were "adjusting the GPS" (or talking on the phone, changing the radio station, etc.) you could be found at fault of the accident (even if the other person was primary) and also charged with Reckless Driving. (Example, my friend was properly in his lane when an oncoming truck crossed the double yellow line and their mirrors connected, breaking both off. He was on his cell phone at the time and told the officer so. He was not paying full attention to driving thus he was charged with Reckless Driving. Fortunately, he was able to plea it down in court.)
I can not seem to find the exact sections of the Virginia State Code online, and I am to lazy to go out to my car to grab my code book.
Good luck!
I have an investment property that I can no longer make payments on and wanted to see if the lender can come after my salary, 401k, etc. in Virginia if I walk away from the house.|||If the lender forecloses and sells the property for less than you owe (including all the foreclosure fees, interest, per diems, selling costs, etc.), it can sue you for the balance. If the lender then gets a judgment against you, your pay is subject to garnishment, your real estate can be liened and your bank accounts can be seized. Your 401k is probably exempt.
Also, be aware that judgments are valid for a very long time - 20 years in some states. They also accrue interest until paid - at much better than market rates.|||Yes, the lender can do that, and will strongly consider doing so if you have sufficient assets and income to pay off any deficiency judgment involved.|||They can come after your wages/salary and ask the court to garnish your wages. Your 401(k) may be out of bounds - check with a lawyer before doing anything.
I really need help! I want to go to a college out of state but I want it to have Virginia instate tuition.|||I think you mean that you are a Virginia resident and want to go to a college outside of Virginia where you will pay Virginia instate tuition fees. If you live or go to high school in a county which borders another state, there might be some colleges in the other state which have an arrangement with Virginia to charge their own instate tuition to Virginia residents. Your high school's college guidance counselor can help you if this situation applies to you.
I am not aware how you could pay Virginia instate tuition at an out of state college. Virginia is a large enough state that you can find a Virginia public college which is far enough away from home so that you feel that you have gone away to college. There is no particular advantage to going to a college just because it is in another state.
You might get some ideas about colleges to consider from the college finder at http://collegesearch.collegeboard.com.
Best wishes.|||Most colleges require you to be a resident for a minimum of 1 year, before they will give you in-state tuition rates.
Like what are the benefits of being there over being in Virginia? High Schools? Cost of living? Etc? How could I get them to want to move?|||I don't really think it's going to be easy to get them to move somewhere else if they're happy where they are. I know I'd never in a million years be able to convince my parents to move to a nearby town, let alone another state. You can always move to New Jersey on your own when you're older, and do you really want to leave everything (such as friends) behind?|||Honestly stay in Virgina.
i love that state!
Anyways.
New Jersey is over the top expensive. Tax is high also. The schools are very good. But if you don't wear certain clothes or you talk a certain way like if you talk all country or indian they will make fun of you. New Jersey'ans are somewhat stuckup. They don't like helping others. They all think they are the best. Literally. Some are nice, but good luck looking for nice people.
Virgina is such a nice place. You can always move to different parts in virginia, if your not satisfied about where you are living. Everyone down there are much more friendlier then NJ. Plus the houses in virgina are way cheaper, which is more affordable, for you and your family.
Hope this helps a ton!
Derya =)|||Schools are way better in Virginia, and cost of living is probably better than most parts of New Jersey too.
Bottom line, if your parents have jobs they like where they are, moving to New Jersey would be incredibly stupid.

We have several urban streams that could use some help in improving the water quality. What are good plantings in Virginia for improving the water downstream from here? Especially, what are some native plants that would grow well from seeds?|||I live near some urban streams in Raleigh, NC, and about 50 feet of one runs through my property. I'm very inspired by how well the native plants have handled the task of mitigating the pollution all by themselves. Like you, I consider myself a custodian of these places.
The plants that improve water quality the most are the ones that grow the fastest. The Chesapeake dead zone is caused by excess nutrients, and fast growing plants eat these up. The plants that grow the fastest are usually called weeds, and they don't need much help from us to spread their seed. The native plants that are crowded out were adapted to a different environment, where fertilizer didn't leach into the water from lawns and rain water didn't surge in from storm drains.
That doesn't mean there is nothing you can do; we can have a great impact on water quality by building structures that capture water and filter it through soil rich in plant roots. This is called rain gardening; I've attached some links below. The rule of thumb is to "slow, spread and sink" the water into the soil, rather than pave, pipe, pollute it. But you have to do it before the water joins a creek; damming running water is best left to engineers and beavers, because it can cause substantial damage.
There are some native plants that feed wildlife that don't spread well in an urban setting. Pawpaw trees only grow in a mature forest, and persimmons only sprout where deer carry the seeds. Groundnut (apops americana) was a native ameican staple food that grew on stream banks.
Amphibians are very vulnerable to poulltuion, and if you create a backyard pond near a stream for them to breed it will help maintain their population.
I believe that there is a lot you can do in terms of stream remediation, and if just one person on every creek did this it would have a huge impact on the water quality of the Chesapeake. I'm learning to do this on the stream system where I live, and would love to share what I鈥檝e learned. There is some way to send an email through yahoo answers- feel free to.|||Here in NC we can not plant or build anything around most streams or rivers any more. They have special rules, heck the couple hundred acres behind my house they can not even have cows anymore because of run off... And that is just a small brook/stream.

I'm debating whether I should go to UGA law or a law school in Virginia. I am from the Atlanta area. What is Northern Virginia and the Virginia Beach area like? I have never been there but have heard that it's really pretty. I don't want to live in a place that's too cold or has too much traffic. I also want to live in a somewhat wealthy area, as I want to practice in estate & wealth planning. Any recommendations?|||UVA is one of the nation's top law schools and you can go practice law anywhere after you get the degree. Northern Virginia has terrible traffic but lots of jobs for lawyers. Housing prices are also very high. Fairfax County, VA is one of the wealthiest in the USA.|||I've lived in Northern VA, outside of VA Beach, and Atlanta. In terms of traffic, both areas of Virginia have horrendous traffic, although it's comparable to Atlanta's traffic. If the traffic is really an issue, stick with UGA. Athens doesn't have bad traffic at all. Furthermore, although you mention you want to live in a wealthy area, the cost of living for both parts of Virginia will be tough on a law school stipend. UGA may not be as great of a school for law as some of the options in VA, but monetarily and trafficwise, it may be the better option. The winters around VA Beach aren't too bad, and of course the DC area is pretty cold. Both places are great to live though. |||You're not asking for much now are you? I'm sure supporters of both states will have their reasons for selecting their respective states. But if you're looking for wealth, I don't think you're going to find much better than the suburban Washington area.
Also, U of Virginia is highly rated, I would think right up there with Duke. And you've have better connections to the high rollers.

Excuse me but there are no fault lines in Virginia. The closest one is a thousand miles away. From my moderate knowledge of plate tectonics, earthquakes are, traditionally, due to one of two things: 1) release of energy due to friction between two plates or 2) volcanic activity. Neither of these apply to Virginia.|||First off, you are dead wrong about not having faults in Virginia. There was a quake, therefore they have a fault. *Everyplace* has faults.
However, you are correct about the 'traditional' causes, but this is definitely a non-traditional quake.

"...The US east of the Mississippi has many fewer earthquakes than does the west, and obviously western quakes are stronger, but eastern earthquakes can cause more damage away from their origin.

They also don't appear to advertise in the local media, and they have offices/campus overseas--it appears that they are targeting international students who want to get a visa to study in America, regardless of the school.
As for transportation, it will be limited. While the Virginia Railway Express runs out to Manassas and there are also some commuter buses from DC to Manassas, service is weekdays only.
I left a Texas company in 2006 and got some severance pay in 2006 and will get some in 2007. I moved to Virginia after I left my Texas job. Do I need to pay Virginia state income tax on my Texas severance pay in 2006? Do I need to pay in 2007?|||I'm not an expert on every state's income tax laws, but usually you have to report all income on your state return, and then you get to deduct out-of-state amounts.
(Texas has no state income tax, so you don't have to worry about them.)|||All monies received after leaving TX will be taxable in your resident state.|||If you received the severance pay while you are resident in Virginia, then yes, you will be subject to Virginia income tax on the severance pay you received while resident in Virginia. There may be a possibility that you could argue that the severance pay you received in 2006 was related to your non-Virginia period and therefore should not be subject to Virginia income tax. The argument would be weaker in 2007.|||Yes, of course. Virginia residents must pay income tax also.
How long will it take a letter from Virginia to come to California by regular mail? Thank you.|||Within the United States, The US Postal service is supposed to provide the same service for every state. Geographical distances has no bearing on the service. It would be safe to assume, therefore, that a letter mailed in Virginia would reach California within 3 working days, including Saturdays, because they deliver mail on Saturdays as well.

I live in Fairfax, VA where it is illegal for pet stores to sell turtles. I was wondering of any turtle breeders or pet stores in the Northern Virginia area where I would be able to buy one.|||If it's illegal for pet stores to sell them, it's highly likely that it's illegal for you to own one anywhere in the state. Unfortunately, there are still a number of states that have a complete ban on turtles. I'm in Tennessee and there is a ban on them here as well. The only way to get around it is if you're a legitimate institution buying turtles for educational or research purposes, in which case you would need to obtain a possession permit from your state's wildlife resources agency.
However, I've read that a bill was introduced last year to get the FDA to lift the ban on pet turtles. I guess we'll see what happens.|||I breed them and sell in northern va!Email me snagslewis30@yahoo.com :) Report Abuse

I recently received a speeding ticket from Virginia for going 80mph in a 70mph zone. I have a Florida license. Does anyone know the best way to avoid receiving points? I really don't want my insurance premiums to go up.|||In Florida, you can take an online course or rent a video at Blockbuster/Hollywood Video and take a written exam to avoid getting points on your license. It doesn't matter where you got the ticket. Google it, but make sure the site you use is accredited. It will give you a certificate to print out when you're done that you send to the clerk of court office where you live (the official city on your license). You can contact your local clerk of courts office and they should be able to help you find an appropriate site to take the test - or it might have a link on their website. Just search for your county and "clerk of court." It doesn't matter that you got the ticket elsewhere, just that you live in Florida. If you are a Florida resident, then Florida is completely in charge of whether or not points are put on your license.
The test is super easy, costs about $40 and takes about 4 hours. You can take it up to once per year to not get points on your license.|||Now that they do everything electronically, the states are sharing this type of information. I can tell you, I received a really bad ticket in a construction zone in Georgia with a Florida license, and I kept the same insurance and they never found out about it, because they didn't look, as long as I paid my premiums on time and didn't change my address or anything.|||Pay the fine or go to court. Yes, you'd have to go to court in Virginia, but maybe they will let you take traffic school in Florida.

I think that we need to start hitting NC, SC, and MD a lot harder for recruiting. We aren't even getting the best players in VA anymore.|||Taylor is just being afraid to scramble, he does not want to get hurt. He IS a great scrambler when he can get going. And look the won. Great last 1 min. They are not overrated they are the real deal. I agree Tyrod needs to step up.

What do you mean not getting good VA players? Of course we are getting good recruiting, look at David Wilson, and we have Logan Thomas of course he will ideally red shirt although Id like to see him on special teams blocking.

I live in Fairfax, Virginia and plan to drive to Lexington, Massachusetts next Tuesday. Yahoo and Google Maps both give me routes all the way on I-95, which I can't imagine would be an enjoyable ride. I don't mind driving a little further to avoid stop-and-go.|||I (live in Herndon) used to make this trip twice a year and this time of year, it may be better for you to go through Hartford Connecticut to avoid some of 95. Just take 91-N in New Haven and follow that to Hartford. After that you pick up 84-E and follow that to 90 (Mass. Turnpike), which will take you right to 128N which I think you can find your way from there. Alternatively, you could take 81N from Winchester all the way through PA and pick up 84 all the way thru Scranton, PA, NY, CT, and on to Mass. Turnpike, etc. The alternate avoids 95 all together, it is a somewhat boring drive and not recommended in the winter.

I say Virginia is considered a southern state because it joined the confederacy in 1861 and is where Robert E. Lee is buried. My friend feels thta VA is too high up on his map to be considered a southern state. Doesn't the fact, that it fought on the side of the confederacy
make it a southern state?|||Virginia has ALWAYS been considered a Southern state culturally. It's below the Mason-Dixon line, which is kind of crooked, but that's how we judge North from South. If a state joined the confederacy, 9 times out of 10, it's considered a Southern state, regardless of it's geographical position.

Further West, the dividing line between north and South runs down the Ohio River to the Mississippi, then across the northern border of Missouri. West of that, there is really no distinction.

new jersey is small, so they said each state should get the same number of votes, so they wouldnt get pushed around by big states like virginia

I live in the UK. I have always bought Golden Virginia that comes in green packets, but the other day saw one in yellow packet so got that instead. The one in the yellow packet looks no different, except the colour of the packet. There is no description on the packet to explain any difference.|||There is supposed to be a difference. Read the following news release:
UK LAUNCH OF GOLDEN VIRGINIA YELLOW
Following an 18-month process of research and development, on 2nd March 2009, Imperial Tobacco launched its new Golden Virginia Yellow (GV Yellow) packs on to the roll-your-own market.
GV Yellow will be available in 12.5g, 25g and 50g packs, RRPs at 拢2.73, 拢5.35 and 拢10.59 respectively. Price marked packs are also available at 拢2.65 for a 12.5g pack and 拢5.25 for a 25g pack. Already available in Greece, Italy, Cyprus, Spain and the Canary Isalnds, Slovenia and Switzerland, volumes of GV Yellow grew 18% in 2008.
Iain Watkins, UK Trade Communications Manager at Imperial Tobacco described how Golden Virginia Yellow differs from the long-established Golden Virginia Green range: "Golden Virginia Green is made with hand-stripped tobaccos giving it a distinctive quality. New Golden Virginia Yellow is made from a different porcess, using the finest Virginia tobacco which gives it a smoother taste similiar to that of the smoother factory-made cigarette brands."
Roll your own tobacco is the only segment currently stimulating the UK tobacco category, and the 12 months ending October 2008 saw volume sales increase by nearly 12%.

Hey I'm going to Reston Virginia soon and I need to find out what the closest Amtrack station is to Reston Virginia. I'm planning on taking a taxi from that station the Reston so approximately how much would that be and which station would I be getting off at?|||The two closest are Washington Union Station in downtown DC and Alexandria, Virginia. Unfortunately Amtrak doesn't serve Reston or the surrounding areas. If you're coming from the north, there are many more trains to Washington Union Station than to Alexandria. If coming from the south, Alexandria might work out okay. Washington Union Station always has a line of cabs. It might be a bit harder to get a cab from Alexandria, although the Virginia cabs seem to know when a train is expected and show up in hopes of a fare.
While Rockville (the previous response), may be correct in terms of map miles, Rockville is served by only a couple of trains each day, and transportation between Rockville and Reston would be problematic and lengthy.
Be aware that, due to the distance, you will have a HIGH taxi fare. You might want to consider using the Metro subway to go part of the distance, say to the West Falls Church Metro station, and take a cab from there the rest of the way. Both Alexandria and Washington Union Station are served by Metro.
There are other options too, including using a Metro bus.
You should check Metro's website, which has a trip planner, for details:

Ok I wanted to make wreaths out of these vines, but I wanted to make sure it was Virginia Creeper and not poison ivy. Yes I know to pull up the Va creepers roots and such. I am not allergic to either one. But I would rather have a wreath made out of the creeper vine rather than the poison ivy vines. It doesn't have any leaves on it at this time of year.|||A clear distinction between the two: eastern poison ivy has three leaflets and Virginia creeper has five leaflets. At this time of year with no leaves you'd almost have to be a botanist I think to tell the difference.
My suggestion if you really want to use the vines is to wear long sleeves and gloves while making the wreaths and remove both directly after. Best choice would be to find some grape vines and just use the smaller one to make your wreath.|||Virginia Creeper looks like this:

Poison Ivy looks like this:

The process to get on the ballot is onerous and changing them for future elections might make since but te=he current rules are not new and all candidates should have been aware of them.

your tax home is where you work(except for short temporary durations, less than a year)
you will probably have WVA income tax withheld unless your employer will withhold only Ky income taxes
We just realized that my Grandmother didn't re-write the will that she wrote when she lived in New Jersey. She's been a resident of Virginia for several years now, the executor is a Virginia resident and it's uncontested. Does this pose a problem?|||As long as the will meets the requirements of Virginia law, it is irrelevant where the will was written. It becomes even less relevant than that if nobody is contesting the will.
I have relocated to Virginia for my job in October of 2007. I guess you would call me a remote employee as I am the only employee for my company here in Virginia. There is not an office or any kind here in Virginia. My company did not take any Virginia income tax out on my W-2. They took Missouri income tax out. I am wondering if I need to file in Virginia as well as Missouri. Please Help....|||You live in VA and earn the income in VA so that's the only state that can tax you now that you've moved. Since your employer doesn't have a physical presence in VA they are not required to withhold VA taxes though.
File a part-year MO return showing only the income you earned in MO. Then file a part year return in VA showing only the income you earned while living there. You'll probably have to use the MO refund to pay the VA taxes but MO electronic refunds are lightning quick -- I've had mine in as little as 4 days -- so that should not be a problem.
Then tell your employer that you're no longer a MO resident and have them stop withholding MO taxes. You'll need to make quarterly estimated payments this year to VA unless your employer agrees to withhold VA taxes.|||Sounds like you've got it under control! Good job! TFTP Report Abuse
|||yes|||Yes- you will need to file in both Virginia and Missouri. (as part year residents in each state). In the end, you will pay missouri taxes for the portion of time you lived there, and likewise in Virginia. For 2008, if they continue to withhold MO taxes, you would have to file there as a nonresident to get your money back and file in VA as a resident. They are supposed to withhold based on the state in which you WORK, not where you live. Sounds like you work in VA and that they should be withholding there. Many times though, especially for smaller companies, they will look for ways to NOT withhold VA taxes for you, since that would mean that your company would also have to file employer AND INCOME taxes in Virginia as well! As long as you don't have a ton of other tax issues (investments, trusts, own your own business, etc) you should be OK to buy one of the software products, (turbo tax, tax cut, etc) and pay the extra to download a second state.|||both states, yes
part year resident in each, if there's a separate form for part year [some states have].
fortunately, most states allow a credit for taxes paid to another state, so you'll not pay state taxes twice.
hint: do Missouri first -- it'll be easier that way, i believe
What city in Northern Virginia would be good to open a cellular phone repair shop. We currently live in Orlando Florida and we are ready for a big change. We are trying to open a business and would like to find a new location with a decent business/economy (if that is possible) market and somewhere with a better way of life. Any suggestions for me would be very helpful!|||The two places that I recommend you look at first are Arlington (especially the Rosslyn area of Arlington) and the area known locally as "the Dulles Corridor." Arlington is the closest Northern Virginia suburb to Washington, DC (just a couple of stops on the Metro subway), and is the center of a lot of businesses and high rise apartments. The Dulles Corridor -- the areas near and around Dulles Airport -- has the highest concentration of tech companies. Lots of geeks means lots of fancy cell phones that might need repair.
But while I recommend those places to start, pretty much any of the DC suburban communities might work for you. Alexandria, Vienna, Tysons Corner, Falls Church, etc. are all good locations.
Good luck!!
I work at a coffee shop in Virginia and recently the owner of the shop changed the policy on tips and is now making all of us Baristas split our tips with her. We make over minimum wage but not by much. Are they legally allowed to do this?|||No, that is not permitted in Virginia.|||They are not allowed to do this because tips are for the person performing the service. There was a law passed in 2008 by the state that prohibits this. It was called the Tip Sharing Prohibition Act and was sponsored by Lawrence Cabrini from Richmond. The coffee shop owner could be fined $10,000 for violating this law. Call the police because they are thoroughly familiar with this law.
I am wondering what day of the week Virginia makes their direct deposits for tax refunds...anyone know?|||Most states are normally on a Friday. You can check your refund status at the link below. make sure it says individual.tax.virginia.gov in the address bar as it asks personal information.
https://www.individual.tax.virginia.gov/鈥?/a>
If you prefer you can also go to www.virginia.gov and click on file your tax return under online services. A window will pop-up and select File your tax return - general information then on the left hand side select where's my refund?
Hope this helps.
I bought a small Virginia Ham from Aldi and can't figure out if it has been cooked or not. In the ingredients list, it says smoked, so I think it has been smoked/cured in some way. But does that mean it is ready to eat? Can I slice it up and serve it on sandwiches? It doesn't say whether or not it is pre-cooked. It looks just like the ham you buy from the deli to make sandwiches with.|||It's not legal for it to be labeled "Virginia ham" until it has been cured, and cured ham can be eaten as is.|||i live in virginia and we do, what a stupid question do you have anythying better to do. Report Abuse
|||i belive ham like that you have to actually cook although i'm not sure because when i'm in virginia i buy smoked ham out of the deli for sandwiches and all but i'm almost sure you have to cook the ham that you brought this answer i'm sure really doesn't help at all and whats bad is i was born and raised just miles outside of Smithfield VA the home of the virginia ham hell i use to work at smithfield packing|||All ham is cooked. ready to eat. esppecially if it is smoked.
Ham is pork, salt, water thats been cooked. chow down!|||Yes you can.....
anything that says smoked you can eat....
except tobacco.|||yup eat up!
Hey i need this for a small part on my report on Virginia and i can't seem to find it anywhere.|||I'm not sure Virginia ever did but other states around there might have. That sounds more like Alabama or Mississippi in the 1950s when new carpet baggers came down from the North to make trouble and cash in on it again. Not all were carpet baggers. Some were sincere civil rights advocates but they carried too many provocateurs with them.
I have a Ninja 250r and I wanted to add a little pizzazz to the bike. Im not sure what exactly you can and cant do in regard to Virginia law.|||accent lighting i believe is ok but it can't flash ie: police lights.
also allot of the states have tightened regulations regarding noise
from the exhaust pipes. Seems like loud pipes can save lives, But big brother doesn't want want to hear it. you must check with your states D.O.T for Maximum decibels allowed|||I could not pinpoint that source online, but i will say this, in many states, if not all, red, yellow or blue accent lights(emergency colors) are not allowed while the bike is moving. i have purple accent lights on mine, Georgia.
I am a high school student and am looking for colleges I might be interested in. I want to choose by seeing what each school's specialty fields and studies are. If you could direct me to a web page with a list of Virginia colleges and universities with their specialties, that would be great.
Thanks!|||There is no single webpage that does something like this. What you need to do is get 'Petersen's Guide to Colleges and Universities,' your guidance office should have a copy, and start looking up the schools.
Keep in mind, there are private and public universities, colleges, technical schools, junior colleges, military academies, community colleges, theology schools, all throughout Virginia.
Virginia governors are allowed to serve only one term. They can serve a term again but not consecutively. Should they:
a- keep it as it is?
b- allow governors to run for a second consecutive four-year term?
c- keep one term but make it 6 years?|||it is just fine the way it is.....the words career and politican should never be in the same sentence. What we need is term limits on ALL elected offices....ESPECIALLY congress|||I think governors should be allowed to run for as many consecutive terms as they want. If the people don't like them, they'll vote for someone else, and it's silly to get rid of the winners after just one or two terms. If fraud is suspected there's the federal government to investigate, so there's no fear of despotism or tyranny. Not more than usual, anyway. The federal government has no higher power to keep watch, so the limits make more sense there.
I'd go for B, at the very least. If the President can run twice surely the governor can?
I was pulled over by a Virginia State Trooper and he asked only for my DL but not my registration or insurance. Are they required to ask for all three?|||Are you questioning if it was a real officer? Was he in uniform? What reason did he give for pulling you over?|||It can be optional, as he may already know that information, and is just making sure your ID matches the registration and insurance on file. DMV computers are getting real smart, and already tell the police if you're currently insured, according to their files|||No, there is no requirement to ask for anything. Although it is common to ask, they may not if every thing seems legitimate.|||he just pulled you over to see ur cup size|||Not necessarily. They can get all that info when they run your license.|||Its discretionary, they generally do but they don't have to. If the incident was minor and they plan to let you off with a warning they can just check your DL and warn you and wave you off.
I moved from VA a few days prior to my official retirement effective date. I receive a final pay, including substantial leave cashed out after I moved. Is this subject to Virginia tax? All preretirement pay, including this shows up on my W2 with VA as the state reflected on it.|||Anything you received AFTER you changed your state of residence is taxable by your new state of residence, not VA. As long as the date on the check is after the date you changed your legal residence, you're good to go.
Be prepared to prove the date your residence changed though! VA is noted for fighting this type of issue if the dates are close. Copies of leases, HUD-1 closing statements, travel receipts, vehicle registration records, voter registration records, etc. all can help you prove the date that you claim your legal residence changed.
Let's face it Obama won Virginia by 232,000 votes in 2008. How does the Republican candidate expect to win Virginia's 13 electoral votes next November. It is a state full of progressive people and the closer you get to DC the more support Obama has. Virginia may very well be the state that decides the election.|||Obama can lose in many ways. The first way is that he does not have a fighting spirit. He gave into the republicans many times before. I'm not trying to bring down Obama in anyway, it's just that his disapproval rating is quite high. So there is a possibility that he can lose.|||Obama is weaker than in 2008 but the GOP is also weaker. If they throw up a Tea Party candidate like Bachmann, Perry or Gingrich or a Libertarian like Paul, the GOP loses big. Romney will make a race of it because he will draw some of the moderate and Indy votes.|||Very easily...just look at what that incompetent, inexperienced man has done to America.
There is a bumper sticker that says it all:
"If you voted for Obama in 2008, because you did not want to be called racist, then vote against Obama in 2012, because you do not want to be called an idiot."|||this is how. he promised change the only change i see is the $11.5 trillion difference in our national debt. Bet your missing Bush now. huh. if you aren't then you are blind and dumb.|||That was when his approval rating was something like 70%. Today it is barely 40% and 55% disapprove. No one with these kinds of numbers has ever won.|||well let face it obama lost all his supporter trust, and definitely will lose all the state that voted for him in 2008.
people not gonna listen to his bullcrap again...|||Virginia will go republican in 2012
bet your life on it
I'm a Junior in high school and I live in Virginia. I am really interested in being a Veterinarian! I am looking online and stuff, but I'm pretty sure I'm looking everywhere but the right place. I would love to become a veterinarian because I enjoy working with animals to help them! If anyone has good college suggestions for Virginia or overal tips that colleges look for to becoming a vet let me know! Thanks it means so much!|||You need a Bachelor's degree to attend vet school. This can be in any field as long as you take the required prerequisites for vet school.
There is one vet school in Virginia- Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine www.vetmed.vt.edu
There are only 28 vet schools in the US. Admission is extremely competitive. If you do get into any you most likely will have to leave your state.

Prior to the eighteenth century, any free man living in Virginia, had the right to vote and elect into office members of the colonial assembly. What requirement did Virginia adopt that changed who had the right to vote, and who did this requirement effect?|||In 1867, Virginia was placed under US military rule. A constitutional convention held in Richmond under the leadership of carpetbaggers and scalawags drafted a constitution that disqualified the overwhelming majority of white Virginians from holding office and deprived about 95% of them of the right to vote. In this crisis, a compromise was negotiated under which white Virginians would accept ***** suffrage if they themselves were permitted to vote and hold office. The amended constitution, providing for universal manhood suffrage, was adopted in 1869, and Virginia was readmitted to the Union on 26 January 1870.
HOPE I HELPED!!!!
What crop of colonial Virginia became the major export of Virginia to the Old World? Surgarcane is incorrect.|||Tobacco|||Tobacco was introduced to Europe by Sir Walter Raleigh, and was at the time promoted as being healthy and a cure-all for any number of ailments.
Tradition says that, since smoking was unknown outside of the New World at the time (and even there it was used more as a ceremonial thing, an example being the tradition of the peace pipe among some Native American groups), one of Raleigh's servants walked in upon his employer enjoying a pipe, thought Sir Walter was on fire, and promptly doused him with a nearby bucket of water.|||The clue is in the word 'Virginia'|||Tobacco.
What can you do in Virginia?? and not the beach its to cold now :/|||Well, what do you want to do?
Busch Gardens and Kings Dominion are still open. Also, the Virginia State Fair is still open. (Last weekend for it, though.)
There are many parks and museums open. If you are interested in science, the American Civil War, the Revolution, military history, art, clothing, et al. there is a museum for it. Every location has some type of park in it. In Richmond, I love sending people to Maymont Park because of the landscaping and artwork and exotic plants there. (All the niece and nephew want to do there is the petting zoo.) Go visit the homes of Presidents! Monticello (Jefferson), Mount Vernon (Washington), Ash Lawn (Monroe), and Montpelier (Madison). That list is not all inclusive. Visit Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond where Monroe, Tyler, and Davis are buried.
The mountains are a nice destination. We have had a horrible drought this year, so I don't know if the colors will be all that vivid. However, apples are in season. Go to an orchard and pick some apples and then can or cook them. There is this wonderful recipie for pork chops and apples... I gotta go see what my wife is cooking for dinner tonight! Also, a lot of the orchards are organizing events during this time.
It is October, and that means that a lot of the Halloween events are starting up. We used to hit something up every weekend for the longest time.
I hope that this helped.
Good luck!|||Go explore the mountains!
Which of these cities is the best to move to?
Virginia Beach
Norfolk
Richmond|||Virginia Beach - the others are not even in the running!|||Yeah, if you live in Virgnia Beach, you basically live in Norfolk bc theyre right beside eachother. Va Beach is safer so stay there and drive to Norfolk when u need something. Report Abuse
|||me and my girlfriend lived in virginia, keysville and richmond. richmond and farmville is better i used to drive through and stop at country cooking Report Abuse
|||Chesapeake would be the best place to move to in Hampton Roads. Avoid Richmond. Norfolk is about 10% good neighborhoods and 90% bad. Virginia Beach is too spread out, takes forever to get anywhere. Report Abuse
|||I lived on the Peninsula for about 9 months....hated every minute of it.....only drove through Richmond getting the heck outta Virginia....but Virginia Beach was nice!!!|||Richmond the City Shopping :)|||i live near VA Beach. The beach is really nice and there's beautiful waves, but there are a little more crimes there.
in Norfolk, it's nice and there's a lot of businesses there. then environment is o.k
richmond is far away from VA Beach and norfolk but it is very close to washington d.c where you can eat and shop for a lot of things
i personally prefer the peninsula which is near Virginia Beach and Norfolk|||Richmond, I lived in that area for a long time and went to college in Richmond, it's a great city. Plus the location is great! Two hours to the beach, two hours to DC, two hours to the mountains. I now live on the Peninsula (between Richmond and VA Beach) which is okay but I liked Richmond better. VA Beach is the most populated of the three.
