If you want an easy, convenient way to study for your written CDL exam, then our DMV Practice Tests are just what you need to prepare to pass. And, our practice tests give you two study options, so you'll get the most out of your study time.
You can review the questions and answers together, or take practice tests to see if you're ready for your DMV exam.
Because approaching study information multiple ways increases retention and understanding, we have provided two different but equally potent ways to prepare for the real test. That study review option is perfect for anyone looking to really research the material, one question at a time. While the graded South Carolina DMV practice tests quiz you on how well you know the relevant information.
Our driving experts have created practice tests with only the most important and relevant commercial driver's license riding information. That means that you can get the knowledge you really need to do well on the written South Carolina commercial driver's license exam.
Frequently Asked Questions
That Will Help!
Are the questions specific to South-Carolina and to getting my Commercial Driver's License?
Yes. We have included questions that cover important state-specific commercial driving laws you should know to pass the written SC DMV exam.
Is the Driver Preparation Course state and CDL specific?
Our Driver Preparation course is designed for ALL drivers to help solidify their knowledge of their state-specific traffic laws and rules of the road. It is not CDL specific.
How do you generate the test?
The test is generated from a pool of 50 or 100 questions (depending upon the quiz that you choose). You also have the option of reviewing every question one by one.
Can I take this on my smartphone?
Yes, you can study with our practice tests on most mobile devices. The Driver Preparation Course can be viewed on all Android devices.

Shimano MT43G Mountain Shoe
The MT43G bike shoe is designed for recreational on and off road cycling. EVA midsole and rubber sole enhance pedaling efficiency and walking comfort.
Light, well vented, great traction if you have to hike your bike on wet and dry surfaces. True to size, durable, stiff sole for pedaling but enough flex to walk in. I prefer these over my carbon fiber tymes mtb shoe.
I loved this shoe, but it runs 1/2 size larger than labeled. After 3 hike a bikes, I had to sell as used on EBAY. They are slightly too long and my heel pretty much comes out on every step. Otherwise, I found these to be very comfortable, and the tread is nice and sticky not hard plastic, which is a great quality for hiking. Inner sole is plenty stiff for efficiency. 3/23/14
They are a little heavy, but the construction quality is good enough for daily use, and they are really comfortable too. I think they are a great for its intended purpose, I use them for everything, trail or city riding and they have work perfectly. BTW, I use them with Crank Brothers Candy 3, and haven't had any problems with the cleats. also, I normally wear shoes size 9.5 or 10, I bought them size 44 which are supposedly a 9.7 and the fit well, perhaps a tad larger.

POSTED: Sunday, January 6, 2013 - 2:00am
UPDATED: Sunday, January 6, 2013 - 2:04am
CNN — Most of us are familiar with the dangers of drunken driving, but drowsy driving can be just as deadly. Studies estimate 15 percent to 33 percent of fatal crashes involve tired drivers, according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Being sleep-deprived slows our reaction time, said Dr. Michael Howell, a sleep expert with the University of Minnesota. That can mean hitting something we might otherwise avoid, like a child on a bicycle who suddenly veers off the sidewalk.
We're also more impulsive when we're tired, Howell said. It's like our brains revert to being teenagers. "We respond to things without thinking them through," he says. "... Road rage happens because people are sleep deprived."
The CDC report analyzed data from a 2009-2010 national behavioral telephone survey of more than 147,000 respondents. Approximately 4.2 percent of those surveyed reported having fallen asleep while driving at least once during the last month. That's one out of every 24 people.
That sounds like a small number, but the problem may be more prevalent over a longer period. A 2005 National Sleep Foundation poll found that 60 percent of drivers had driven while sleepy in the preceding year. In a 2010 national telephone survey, more than 40 percent of people admitted to having "fallen asleep or nodded off" while driving at some point in their lives, according to a report by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety.
Men were more likely than women to report falling asleep at the wheel, according to the new CDC report. Howell said men are more likely than women to have sleep disorders, especially sleep apnea. They're also less likely to regularly get enough sleep.
"We live in a sleep-deprived culture," he said. "There's a reason why there's a coffee shop on every corner. We don't sleep as much as we should."

4 Just Dance 2 senses your movements better then the 1st game.dragonlord | 25/10/2010 | See all dragonlord's reviews (442)Top 10 Reviewer Top 10 DVD Reviewer Number 1 Games Reviewer Top 10 Music Reviewer Top 100 Books Reviewer Top 100 Clothing Reviewer I still think if Ubisoft make a Just Dance 3 that it should have Motion-Plus controls because there is still room for improvement at times. Also the Just Dance games sell like hot cakes so it would make sense to put the extra time and money into it so that it's the best one can possible do with the hardware that we have available.There are 45 new hit songs for you enjoy which range from Dance, Latin, Pop, Rock and R n' B. I really like the new "Just Sweat" mode which gives you points for amount of energy you burn off. If you play this game for about one hour you can really tell that you have been working out.My favourite tracks for to dancing to are A-Punk by Vampire Weekend, Walk Like An Egyptian by Bangles, Viva Las Vegas by Elvis Presley and I Want You Back by The Jackson 5.Overall if liked the first Just Dance game then you will love this one because it's been improved upon in all areas.
5 Just Dance 2jagerbabe | 01/11/2010 | See all jagerbabe's reviews (1)Just Dance was amazing, Dance on Broadway was a complete let down however Just Dance 2 is fantastic!!!! 5*

Never seem to have the right size quilting needle? Find that a #10 is too large but just can't seem to hold onto a #9? Then what you need is IN-BETWEENS QUILTING NEEDLES
This needle is not the traditional hand quilting needle. The IN-Betweens needle is allot thicker than other needles (lots thicker), giving it added strength for moving through a quilt's layers and layers of fabric and batting. HAND MADE Our needles come close to being the finest needles made. Each needle is hand made by a blacksmith in South Caroline as his father and grandfather did before him, using the finest left over horseshoes he can find to craft these needles to our specification SIZES IN-Betweens come in sizes 9.5, 10.5, 11.5, &12.5. Size 9.5 is the smallest (if you can pick it up) and size 12.5 is the largest (about the size of a #2 pencil) PLATED We use only the best plating we could find at the local five & dime hardware store. STRENGTH No needle has the strength of our needles, to prove it, we pulled a pickup truck across a parking lot with one. Click here to see our video ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE These needles come in an empty pop can, just turn upside down and shake till a needle falls out of this handy dispenser. (If you can't hear the needles shake inside, rinse well with warm water to remove any sticky residue) GUARANTEED To provide even stitching for an "all thumbs" quilter. If not completely satisfied, return the unopened container to the manufacture (if you can find them) for a full refund. Hurry, supplies are Extremely Limited; another AF Enterprises product exclusively found at QuiltersWarehouse one day once a year.

By Rick Warren — August 27, 2009
What would happen if you applied the lessons from events in Jesus' life—temptation, suffering, death, resurrection—to your own? This DVD study, based on producers Mark Burnett and Roma Downey's major theatrical release, Son of God, features New York Times bestselling author Pastor Rick Warren as he explains how you can find your purpose in studying the life of Jesus.
God made you to love you, and he wants you to know him as well as he knows you. To have a relationship with him, you have to communicate! In this series, Pastor Rick walks through the reasons and means God uses to speak to you and how you need to respond so that you can recognize his voice and respond in obedience.

WindServers is actively helping both established and new companies boost their online reputations. We work hard to improve targeted traffic through careful ad placement and responsible SEO.
In 2013, we completed programming and design work on the popular military humor site, PowerPoint Ranger. It is the official home of the PowerPoint Ranger comic, syndicated in the weekly newspaper, Army Times.
Our work included: Logo design, a password protected login system, PayPal integration, blog development, forum customization, database merge, RSS feed, and an email messaging interface with spam control.
In early 2012, we completed design and programming work on FanPal.com, a site which allows people to connect with celebrities and their agents/managers for charitable causes, to send fan mail, or just to say hello.
Our work included: Logo design, a password protected login system, PayPal integration, dynamic site search (via Ajax), extensive database programming, and an easy-to-use email messaging interface.
In 2011, WindServers produced an HD film for the National Museum of Science and Technology in Milan. Entitled First Man in Space, the film kicked off a special event commemorating the 50th Anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's historic spaceflight.
Featured speakers at the event included Apollo 7 astronaut Walter Cunningham, Russian cosmonaut and "Hero of the Russian Federation" Valery Tokarev, Space Shuttle Columbia (STS-75) astronaut Maurizio Cheli, and Vice President of the Italian Space Agency (ASI), Marco Airaghi.
WindServers entered the field of digital painting and 3D art in 2008. Since then, we have created a number of original artworks for clients around the world.
In mid-2008, the University of Hawaii at Manoa began using one of our digital artwork pieces as an icon for "design" in a graduate level class on Distance Education Technology.
In 2007, we completed design and development work on a portfolio site for professional model and actress, Valarie K. The goal was to incorporate Adobe Flash into a complete site design.
Our work included: Flash animation, a password protected login system, photo management interface design, logo design, browser icon, and an email booking form with language filtering.
In 2004, we designed and launched World Nation, an international social networking site. With thousands of active members, it is one of the largest multinational social networks on the web.
Our development work included: Flash animation, a password protected login system, PayPal integration, site search engine, membership approval backend, fraud protection, internal messaging system and Google Maps integration.
In late 2000, we worked on a screenplay that entered pre-production at Columbia Pictures. We walked away from the experience with sharpened writing skills and a solid understanding of the technical side of media production. We carry that knowledge with us into every project today.
Soon after its inception, WindServers placed third among thousands of competitors in a nationwide creative writing contest. As a result, our work was published in two anthologies. We continue to strive for excellence in writing content for both online and offline media.
WindServers began in tandem with its sister company, Windmill Books, to meet the latter's online retail needs. From 1996 to 2008, we produced a catalog of collectible books, photos, videos and audio recordings centered around NASA and space exploration.

ROCHESTER — In just over a week, police made four arrests pertaining to shoplifting in the city.The suspects are now facing misdemeanor-level willful concealment charges, alleging they concealed items in a store with a purpose to commit theft."We started to notice a steady increase in shoplifting," said Police Capt. Paul Toussaint. He said that the Police Department began putting a higher emphasis on publicizing willful concealment arrests, in hopes of deterring shoplifting around the city."Maybe they don't want their face in the paper," said Toussaint.Recently, three of the willful concealment arrests came from alleged shoplifting at Walmart, while one arrest resulted from alleged shoplifting at Cumberland Farms near the center of the city.Rochester resident Timothy Depalmer, 46, was arrested early morning on Jan. 13 on a warrant, alleging he shoplifted at Cumberland Farms, at 1 Knight St., on Nov. 14. Depalmer was released on $1,000 personal recognizance bail, with arraignment scheduled for Feb. 11, at 8 a.m., at Rochester Circuit Court.

CHICAGO, IL - DECEMBER 18: Ropes hang down the side of the federal Metropolitan Correctional Center in the Loop after two convicted bank robbers escaped on December 18, 2012 in Chicago, Illinois. Joseph "Jose" Banks and Ken Conley appear to have busted away concrete to enlarge a window opening then climbed down about 16 stories on the makeshift ropes to make their escape. Banks, known as the Second-Hand Bandit, was convicted last week of two bank robberies and two attempted robberies where he made off with a nearly $600,000, $500,000 of which is still unaccounted for. Conley was convicted of robbing nearly $4,000 from a bank last year. (Photo by Scott Olson/Getty Images)

FAIRVIEW HEIGHTS, Ill. (KMOV.com) -- A Metro-East woman is taking a stand after seeing crime increase in her neighborhood.
Sharon Sandheinrich is now the first neighborhood watch captain on her Fairview Heights street. She says a neighbor across the street had their car stolen. A few weeks later, Sandheinrich says car thieves stole a vehicle down the street.
"Things have changed here in Fairview Heights," she said. "It's not the same city it was when I grew up."
With help from the local police department, residents and officers are keeping a closer watch on the town's neighborhoods. Authorities say 95 percent of residents have shown support for the Neighborhood Watch program, allowing the officials signs to go up.
While residents hope the signs keep criminals off their street, many say they also hope nearby streets adopt a similar program.
"It's just a domino effect," Sandheinrich said. "I don't want it to happen to all those other streets and people."

Members at Gardendale-Mt. Vernon United Methodist Church say Sunday was a new beginning for them. Interim Senior Pastor Dr. Bill Bostick preached his first sermon this past weekend, which church members say focused on bringing the congregation out of the darkness. It was just over a week ago when police say Senior Pastor Dr. Terry Greer shot his wife and daughter, killing his wife, Lisa. Police say Greer then stabbed himself. He faces murder and attempted murder charges.
And then a few weeks prior to the shooting, police say another church leader was arrested for soliciting a child for sex. While church members say it's been a tumultuous few weeks, they were happy to have something positive to focus on. This is Pastor Bostick's second stint at the church. He served there from 1979 to 1986.

This past summer I had the amazing opportunity to travel to Australia for an externship. Gisborne Veterinary Clinic, just outside Melbourne, hosted Magda Stewart and me for three weeks. This clinic is a mixed animal practice with a large/small animal clinic and three-to-four ambulatory large animal/equine veterinarians. I rode around the beautiful countryside with the equine vets every day from eight in the morning until six in the evening.
We stayed with one of the equine vets, Dr. Kath Mitchell, for the three weeks. She is originally from New Zealand and she completed her internal medicine residency at Cornell University. She came back to work at Gisborne after her residency. Dr. Ronan is the other equine veterinarian Magda and I worked with. Ronan graduated from the University of Melbourne in Australia. Ronan did mainly the sport horse side of medicine for the clinic and some of the equine surgery. The area we were in had one of the biggest racing stables, Macedon Lodge, and Ronan was one of the main vets who would assess their lameness cases twice a week. There were many other doctors in the clinic, some of whom did only small animal, and some who did small and large animals. When we weren't busy with calls we were welcome to hang out in the small animal clinic and help with things or learn.
There were a great variety of horses found there. We treated everything from racehorses, sport horses (dressage and eventers), pony club horses, stock horses, and many backyard horses. It was a great experience to see the wide array of horse jobs and the wide array of treatments done to help horses continue to perform jobs. Even though it was winter there, they still had a little bit of reproduction work being done.
First, I'll talk about some of the main differences I noticed between American equine medicine versus Australian. Australians microchip most of their horses, not just the FEI horses, where the microchip is inserted into the crest on the left side at the midneck region. Australians also have the horses branded on the shoulders. They are actually starting to move away from this somewhat, but there are still tons of horses that have it. On the left shoulder you find the stud farm brand and then on the right shoulder you can two numbers. The bottom number is the year the horse was born and the top number is the number it was to foal on that particular farm (second foal born on farm, you will see a 2 as the top number). This clinic tries very hard to get owners to deworm their horses based on fecal egg count, instead of just deworming on a rotational system. I thought that was awesome since I had just learned in parasitology this is the movement horse deworming really needs to undertake in the United States.
While I was in Australia I got to see many things, but there were two things that ruled medicine for those three weeks: corneal ulcers and pastern dermatitis. This region of Australia had just experienced epic floods and lots of wet weather which was the most common blame for these problems. We saw big, little, melting, deep, and even a parasitic-induced corneal ulcer. We treated them with one or all of the following: antibiotics, antifungals, atropine, and serum. It was amazing to see an ulcer's progression from the first time seeing it to watching it heal. I learned the importance of the drugs and the different management practices owners should try to prevent ulcers and to make patients with corneal ulcers more comfortable. I was allowed to perform auriculopalpebral and supraglenoid nerve blocks. We were called to see a large superficial corneal ulcer in a racing standardbred. The ulcer was most likely caused by Onchocerca cervicalis, a parasite whose microfilaria had migrated to the eye. The horse was experiencing a massive inflammatory response after being dewormed two days prior. The migration of these parasites in the eye was very irritating and most likely the reason the horse rubbed its head against something resulting in a large superficial corneal ulcer.
Second on the list of most frequently seen cases was pastern dermatitis or mud fever—it seemed to be everywhere and on all the horses. I became a professional crust picker. It is important to remove the crusts because the most common cause of this condition is Dermatophilus sp. which is found in the crusts themselves. Pastern dermatitis can be found, of course, on the pasterns /distal limbs, but we also saw it on the chest, back, hindquarters, and muzzle. In treating pastern dermatitis: remove all "toothbrush" crusts (take one or two to look at in lab), scrub lesions, dry, apply prescribed topical agent, wrap (if applicable), and repeat! Sometimes systemic antibiotics (rare) and NSAIDs were necessary for the severe cases. I saw many different cases in Australia, but by far, my three weeks were taken by these conditions.
I was also able to rectally palpate a horse with colic that was diagnosed with a left dorsal displacement. That was my first time to rectally palpate a horse with colic that had tight bands and I couldn't feel the left dorsal colon in its proper location. I watched tons of race horses jogging out for lameness exams sometimes to be followed with radiographs/ultrasound/injections. Also, I helped collect a young stallion and learned the procedure for freezing semen. We had a cryptorchid surgery where I realized, for whatever reason, the left testicle is normally retained more often. I saw a goat with toxicity, and despite our best efforts, it died, but that case taught me a lot. I saw so many things at my externship at Gisborne Vet Clinic. The veterinarians were spectacular and they were great about letting me have hands-on experience, especially as they became more comfortable with me.
Besides the veterinary side of the trip, I had the most amazing month of my life. For the three weeks at Gisborne everyone invited us to dinner and for hiking at local historical places. I visited a dingo rehabilitation center and watched my first Australian Football League game. We also pampered ourselves with Dr. Kath at a spa and took wine tours in the local area. The people couldn't have been nicer and more helpful to make us feel at home. They really wanted us to see everything veterinary and Australian those three weeks. This is one externship I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to travel and who has an interest in small, large, or equine medicine. The vets and technicians were wonderful and you will learn tons. I wouldn't mind going back again if I ever find the time!

Customer Raves & Reviews
Love these invitations!
Starfish Foldover Pockets I was hesitant to order our wedding invites online because I wasn't sure what we would end up with. We ordered the samples and from that moment we were happy. They sent us samples and the package also included other goodies like font types and color palette, as well as paper samples, so you have a better idea what it looks like on paper. We loved that you could personalize almost everything on the invitations! When they arrived everything came a nice box and the invitations were perfect. We are very happy with them:) we would definitely order from Magnet Street again! The only down side is that you have to do all the assembly yourself (we had pocket invites with extra embellishments and insert cards) but even so we were pleased.
Starfish Foldover Pockets The invitations we ordered for our wedding were absolutely perfect. We did not have time to order a sample, so I was really nervous about the quality. The paper is thick and of great quality, and the printing is bright and beautiful! I loved the convenience of being able to work on the invitations and save my work. This allowed me to work on them at my convenience and order them when I was ready. I also had a great customer service experience. I had a small computer problem when ordering the invitations and I called the customer service line and the friendly rep was able to help me right away. I would definitely recommend the pocketfold invitations!
Excellent Wedding Invitations
Starfish Foldover Pockets Our wedding invitations were all that we could ever want. We absolutely love them! The fact that we could make any changes we wanted (including creating our own colour) to our invitations was a great service that magnet street offered. I would encourage any bride or anyone at all that is looking for this type of stationery to choose magnet street..
Easy, beautiful, fast!
Starfish Save the Date Magnets Just got my save the date magnets 6 days after I ordered them online. I loved how easy it was to pick my own colors! They turned out so beautiful! I'm so happy how they turned out! And will tell people about this website in the future! Thanks for all your help. :)
Starfish Pocket Invitations I personalized these invites in bright colors to match our very unique, fun wedding. I love that I could change the wording, font, and colors to coordinate it all! The prices are so reasonable and the customer service is an A+++!

Established in Rockford, Michigan, in 1883 Wolverine made the original boots that helped build the railroads, erect skyscrapers, and expand highways across this great country. A historic mile marker for the brand took place in 1914, when Wolverine introduced a footwear line called the 1000 Mile Boot, setting the standard for durable footwear. Generations of American workers have come to depend on Wolverine boots for comfort and durability. Today, Wolverine continues to deliver on its promise with an extensive range of premium products including boots, shoes, apparel and gear.
to be honest, I love the look and feel of this boot but the quality is very very poor. the first pair I ordered (for a full $300) was replaced because after 2 weeks the heel stitching blew out. After less than 2 months of having a new replacement pair the bottom tread starting coming off at the toe and front of the heel sole. I was extremely bummed especially considering how much I dig the style. I'm contacting Wolverine to see if they will help me replace my second pair due to their false advertisemnt that these last 1,000 miles.... hopefully their customer service is better than their manufacturing quality. I think this is why they are marketing this boot now as "casual" and "dress wear" - it aint fit for the outdoors
I was concerned about ordering 11.5 boots...for whatever reason boots tend to run small on me so I usually buy 12.Anyway, these fit true to size..go with whatever size you normally wear, no need to size up or down (unless you plan on wearing super thick socks)Love these boots..I already know we will have many adventures during our 1000+ mile journey. Timeless look and design and will go with just about everything. Okay, maybe not that leopard speedo at the bottom of your drawer...or maybe they will...
I bought these boots about a month ago and have worn them every day since. I can't remember the last time I wore a new pair of shows so frequently! Just this week alone I wore them with jeans for a rugged look, and with a cool black suit for a trendy look. They are extremely comfortable, with padded insides that provide a terrific cushion for walking. The hooks at the top make them easy to get on and off. All in all, possibly the best and most comfortable pair of boots I've ever owned.

Pneumococcal meningitis is an infection that causes swelling and irritation (inflammation) of the membranes covering the brain and spinal cord (meninges).
See also:
Pneumococcal meningitis
Pneumococcal meningitis is caused by the bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae (also called pneumococcus). The bacteria is the most common cause of bacterial meningitis in adult. It is the second most common cause of meningitis in children older than age 2.
Risk factors include:
Symptoms usually come on quickly, and may include:
Other symptoms that can occur with this disease:
Pneumococcal meningitis is an important cause of fever in children.
The doctor or nurse will examine the patient. This may show:
If the health care provider thinks meningitis is possible, a lumbar puncture ("spinal tap ") will be done to remove a sample of spinal fluid (known as cerebrospinal fluid, or CSF) for testing.
Tests that may be done include:
Treatment with antibiotics should be started as soon as possible. Ceftriaxone is one of the most commonly used antibiotics.
If the antibiotic is not working and the health care provider suspects antibiotic resistance, vancomycin or rifampin are used. Sometimes systemic corticosteroids may be used, especially in children.
How well a person does depends on how fast treatment is received. About 1 in 5 persons who get this illness will die of it. About 25-50% will have serious long-term brain and nervous system complications.
Many patients have long-term complications such as:
Call the local emergency number (such as 911) or go to an emergency room if you suspect meningitis in a young child who has the following symptoms:
Call the local emergency number if you develop any of the serious symptoms listed above. Meningitis can quickly become a life-threatening illness.
Early treatment of pneumonia and ear infections caused by pneumococcus may decrease the risk of meningitis. There are also two effective vaccines available to prevent pneumococcus infection.

The current and on-going spats between Scottish film producers and Creative Scotland, Scottish Enterprise and the Scottish Government over budgets, training and a film studio and the ding-dong between singer and ex-army officer James Blunt and shadow UK Culture Secretary Chris Bryant about the "politics of envy" and how the privileged sons and daughters of the well-off can afford to work in the arts because they can cash-flow risks and develop their careers by working for nothing or peanuts, has brought out the best and the worst in what passes for everyday reality in the cultural world.

I enjoy Willie McIlvanney's books, but, even more, I love listening to him speak. He has a slow, almost hesitant style which suggests thoughtfulness and reflection.

When Sonny Liston's dead body was discovered in a Las Vegas bedroom it was already decomposing. His death has never been satisfactorily explained, was he a victim of a random attack, the wrong end of a mob hit or self-imposed drugs overdose.

While the Scottish media goes into a froth and a frenzy of Old Firm (sic) coverage before the League Cup semi-final – coverage which, apart from the rest of license-fee payers I'd imagine the fans of Aberdeen and Dundee United should be pretty pissed off about – down south a different media story emerged.

ALEX Salmond has mounted an outspoken defence of Scots Makar Liz Lochhead, who has faced calls to resign after announcing publicly she had joined the SNP.
Peter A Bell's insight:
There is something very curious about the British nationalist attitude to the SNP. Can you imagine that they would have made any fuss at all had Liz Lochhead joined one of the British parties? Of course they wouldn't! So we have to ask ourselves what it is about the SNP which makes it so unacceptably "other" in the eyes of these British nationalists. It cannot be the nature of the party itself. As political parties in these islands go, the SNP is a model of democratic openness and accountability. It cannot be that the SNP is seen as some kind of fringe party. It is not only an established party of government, it is also by far the largest party in Scotland. And, indeed, the third largest party in the UK. It cannot be because the party embraces some extreme ideology. The SNP's platform is an entirely reasonable mix of policies such as might be found in any social democratic party. One might disagree with some of those policies. But one could never sensibly describe them as extreme. It surely cannot be the party's commitment to independence. After all, this too is no more than a perfectly reasonable constitutional position founded on a right to self-determination that the British state has already conceded. Again, one might hold a contrary position on the constitutional question, but so long as one allowed that the matter could only be settled according to the will of the people of Scotland, would be obliged to acknowledge that both options were legitimate political aims. The clue to why British nationalists regard the SNP with a mixture of contempt and horror is, perhaps, to be found in the fact that, while it is impossible to imagine any outrage had Liz Lochhead joined one of the British parties, it is almost as easy to imagine such a fuss being made had she joined the SSP or the Scottish Greens. The main thing that these parties have in common, aside from their support for independence, is that they are distinctly and unmistakably Scottish. They are Scottish parties. And THAT is the root of British nationalist objections. Because, in the context of British nationalist ideology, nothing that is distinctly Scottish can ever be quite proper. To the British nationalist mind, that which is distinctly Scottish is unquestionably inferior, and deeply suspect. Liz Lochhead is being slated because she has done something which is "just not British".

You should visit your health care provider from time to time, even if you are healthy. The purpose of these visits is to:
Health maintenance visit - women - over age 65; Physical exam - women - over age 65; Yearly exam - women - over age 65; Checkup - women - over age 65; Women's health - over age 65; Preventive care exam - women - over age 65
Even if you feel fine, you should still see your health care provider for regular checkups. These visits can help you avoid problems in the future. For example, the only way to find out if you have high blood pressure is to have it checked regularly. High blood sugar and high cholesterol levels also may not have any symptoms in the early stages. A simple blood test can check for these conditions.
There are specific times when you should see your provider. Below are screening guidelines for women over age 65:
Until age 75, you should have one of the following screening tests:
You may need a colonoscopy more often if you have risk factors for colon cancer, including:

text: 4.5 AT LAST!!!!! Garfgeezer | 04/07/2012 | See all Garfgeezer's reviews (32) Since i first saw this film back in the 80's I've been trying to track down my own copy of this film.100% respect to Fritz Langs original, which i own anyway, but the music and work that was put into this version makes it, in my opinion, the definitive version (sorry purists!).If you've not seen the original buy that version first, then this version to see just how amazing it really is. Ok, the film is 2 hours long and watching both versions will cost you 4 hours of your life - but they wont be wasted.Historically this is still one of the biggest films ever made by way of cast, sets, special effects (WAY ahead of their time), musical score (both versions) and cost to produce. Every film enthusiast and indeed anyone who just loves a damn good story should own this film and the added benefit of the Georgio Moroder soundtrack will only make it better.You absolutely will not regret this purchase.

The High School Dual Enrollment Program offers qualifying high school students the opportunity to take college courses while attending high school. This program allows high school students to enroll concurrently in a college course and receive both high school and college credit for that coursework.
Dual enrollment programs help introduce students to the advantages of post-secondary education while also helping them to more successfully transition into the culture and expectations of collegiate study.
Interested students should contact their high school guidance counselor or call the Adult and Graduate Studies Office at 724-946-7353 for information about the program.
A few key points to keep in mind:
- Students can start taking courses at Westminster as early as ninth grade if they meet eligibility requirements as determined by Westminster College and their school district.
- Dual Enrollment students can earn credits toward their high school diploma along with college credit.
- A student earns 4 semester-hour credits for each Westminster course completed.
- There is a one-time application fee of $35 to apply for Westminster's Dual Enrollment Program. Tuition for a 4 semester-hour credit course during the 2013-14 school year for Dual Enrollment students is $840 (includes $50 info tech fee). Wilmington Area School students should contact the Adult and Graduate Studies Office.
