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. Haha|||I think because you were in cooler weather.. and now you have moved to hotter weather in the summer sooo.. I think thats why your hair grew more. :)|||Hair grows quicker in shade, i dont know if that helps|||hhmmm strange!!|||dirty hair grows faster so perhaps you wash your hair less?
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!|||It depends on which bases he is offered. Me personally, I would choose Pensacola, FL over Norfolk, VA. But I also would choose Dam Neck, VA over Mayport, FL. Cost of living is pretty similar.
I am interested in those outside the Washington DC area as we will be seeing Charlottesville and vicinity as well as Richmond, Williamsburg and Virginia Beach. Upon arrival we will rent a car but I would just prefer to fly into the largest airport available. Thank you in advance for any information you can provide.|||Richmond International will probably be your best bet. It's about an hour away from Charlottesville and Williamsburg and about two from Virginia Beach.|||Manassas Regional Airport is the largest airport outside of the Washington, D.C., area in Virginia. It's located 30 miles from Washington, D.C.

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. WV is cool, ebanks and mazzula, but i'm actually more interested in womens college ball, and baylor and brittney griner.|||Nope im going for Butler because i live in Indiana.|||I'm going for Butler. 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
3. W Virginia
4. Duke|||I hope WVa creames Duke.
But Butler is who I want to win it all - throw logic out the window - it is not working this year.
Go with your heart is what I say.|||Who I'm ruting for-
1) West Virginia (Big East)
2) Duke
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

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).
http://pepboysstorelocator.shoplocal.com鈥?/a>
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).
