To become a truck driver in Virginia, you must first obtain a Virginia commercial driver's license (CDL). Commercial vehicles requiring a CDL license to drive in Virginia are categorized based on the following criteria:
According to Virginia CDL requirements, applicants must be at least 18 years old, have a valid Virginia driver's license and obtain a medical certificate. The U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) regulates interstate transportation of cargo. If you wish to transport materials across state lines, you must be at least 21 years old. CDL applicants must then pass a written knowledge exam and a three part skills test, which includes a pre-trip vehicle inspection, a basic control skills test and an on-road driving exam. The State of Virginia requires that applicants test in the class of vehicle for which they are trying to obtain a CDL--for example, you must test in a Class A vehicle if you wish to obtain a Class A CDL.
Additional endorsements are then needed in order to drive certain types of vehicles including trucks with air brakes, double/triple trailers, tanker trucks or school buses. Endorsements are also needed to transport passengers or to haul hazardous materials. A background check by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is required to transport hazardous materials (Hazmat endorsement). A truck driving school will provide the education and on-road training needed to pass the Virginia CDL requirements.
Visit the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles website for more information.

A lot of New Caledonian species belong to fern genera that also occur in New Zealand. Some look very similar to New Zealand species, whereas others are quite different! Here's a few from my recent trip.
Posts tagged with ferns
New Caledonian ferns shared with New Zealand
About 35 species of fern are found in both New Caledonia and New Zealand. That's about 13% and 18% of the total species in each area. Almost all of these are widespread species that are also found elsewhere in the Pacific (and beyond). Here's a few of them that I saw during my recent field… Read more »

New Caledonia fern collecting
I'm just back from three weeks collecting ferns in New Caledonia. For a place so close to New Zealand (shorter flight time than to Australia), I knew very little about New Caledonia. I expect that is true for many New Zealanders, and it presumably reflects our very different cultures, not least being the language difference… Read more »

The filmy ferns Hymenophyllum flexuosum and Trichomanes endlicherianum are always pleasing finds. Although widespread, they are not… Read more »

Coffees Country Market
169 Boston Post Road
Old Lyme, Connecticut 06371
Favorite Feature: Old-fashioned bottled sodas
If you're looking for a delicious sandwich made with fresh, high quality ingredients, and you want to get some grocery shopping done at the same time, then Coffees Country Market in Old Lyme is your place. Connected to a hardware store, this convenience store/market/deli/caterer/bakery offers everything from locally made cheeses to prepared dinners.
We stopped at Coffees for lunch and were happy to see there were 3 tables and a bar with stools available for seating. The seating area is not large and each table only had 2 chairs, so I would suggest taking your food to go unless you have a small family with children who are old enough to sit in regular chairs (they do not have high chairs). My husband, who I would consider a sandwich aficionado, ordered the pork sandwich and said it was easily one of the best sandwiches he's had in SE CT. I would agree with this statement in regards to sandwich wraps. My marinated veggie wrap was out of this world. I can appreciate the fact that they stuff their wraps as close as they can to the breaking point. Mine was filled with portabello mushrooms, asparagus, squash, onions, and some other stuff I can't identify because it disappeared too quickly into my mouth. Just look at the pictures of it below. It looks awesome and it tastes awesome. We also ordered a side of the prepared green beans with feta, red onion, and yellow peppers. Again, it was delicious. My daughter was very happy with her ham sandwich on a large roll. She also picked out a bag of Deep River salt and pepper potato chips, which I didn't realize are made locally in Old Lyme. Hooray for supporting local businesses! Especially the ones that make yummy food. For drinks, my husband had coffee from the help-yourself coffee station, my daughter had a juice box of organic lemonade, and I had a bottle of the pomegranate blueberry Mash (although I was tempted to go for one of the interesting old-fashioned sodas they had in the back fridge).
After scarfing down our food, we checked out the market and admired the produce, prepared foods, and bakery. We didn't get a chance to eat any of the baked goods, but I was very tempted to get one of the huge cookies or peanut butter brownies. I have a feeling that I would not have been disappointed. They also have a great breakfast sandwich menu which I'm hoping to try out the next time we're here.
The market has additional tables and seating outside, although I wouldn't suggest eating out there until springtime. There is a restroom is located inside the market. If you're going to be in Old Lyme or just driving through, make an excuse to stop here on your way to your final destination. You won't regret it.

The Defense Information Systems Agency is moving ahead with plans for an analytical cloud environment focused on cybersecurity and cloud-based enterprise services for Defense Department agencies.
DISA plans to launch an analytic cloud, dubbed Acropolis, to provide situational awareness in cybersecurity, which will hinge on the use of big data to detect and respond to threats. The cloud will be used to aggregate, correlate, reduce and analyze cyber threats, including insider threats, according to documents from the agency's Aug. 9 industry day event at Fort Meade, Md.
The agency will take a cue from its neighbor, the National Security Agency, gathering and analyzing large amounts of data already coming in for network operations and defense.
"We moved up to Fort Meade for a reason. And part of that reason is to take advantage of the neighborhood. … These guys know how to build analytic clouds down the street," said Mark Orndorff, DISA program executive officer for mission assurance and network operations, according to a FierceGovernmentIT report. "So, we're going to adopt those techniques, technology that NSA has leveraged and built over the years – maybe do some tweaking and adjustments to our specific requirements – but we certainly aren't going to start from scratch as we build out the analytic cloud."
The data comes from a range of sources: different types of sensors, incident reporting and internal IT infrastructure and applications. Information also comes from DOD defense industrial base partners and the Defense Cyber Crime Center.
DISA also is expanding cloud services, with some projects already complete and a number of others under way.
Software-as-a-service offerings, including enterprise email, as well as platform-as-a-service capabilities, including messaging, data and content delivery, already are available, as are key IT infrastructure services. DISA is working on enterprise sharing and storefront services, identity and access management capabilities and wireless local area network services.
Virtual desktop infrastructure and unified capabilities that target interoperability through improved, always-available communications are priorities at DISA that remain works in progress. .
"With your mobile devices and the desktop, once you start leveraging things in the cloud space, your information follows you wherever you go. Everything is right there at your fingertips, whether you're at the desktop or your mobile device," said Jennifer Carter, DISA acquisition executive, according to Federal News Radio. "We really are looking for interoperable capabilities in an open, standardized environment."
A request for proposals for virtual desktop infrastructure services is due out in the second quarter of fiscal 2014, with an award expected in the third quarter, according to DISA.

Phanteks PH-F120S and PH-F140TS Fan Reviews
Ryan Martin / 2 years ago
4 Flares Made with Flare More Info'> 4 Flares ×
Sadly, I haven't had the opportunity to work with Phanteks much in my time here at eTeknix. However, today I am able to take a look at a set of fans from Phanteks. As usual they have the trademark mouthful-of-letters-and-numbers names that Phanteks like to endow upon their products. The PH-F140TS is a 140mm fan while the PH-F120S is a 120mm fan. Both are intended for cases and heatsinks and both come with 3 pin connections. You can see the specifications below with their respective product pages.

Re: WWE 2005: The Aftermath of WrestleMania 21
Raw Review
Opening Promo- Austin vs Taker at Mania should be awesome. I never expected this to happen. I cannot wait for that match. Also, this promo was awesome. I can imagine it happening in real life.
Carter Promo- Dissing on SD! Not good.
Molly vs Lita- This match was way too short as a summary. But anyway, i dont care too much about womens matches.
Benoit/RVD Promo- Chances of these two winning are pretty slim. Especially after all the points Coach brings up like how they faced each other at NWO. Also, Styles and Benjamin are way too dominant!
Tag Team Titles Match- What did I say? The two cannot co-exist. I have a feeling that Benjamin and Styles will be holding the titles for quite a long time.
Hardyz vs E&C- I am not too surprised that the Hadyz won. They are an awesome tag team. Plus, Edge and Christian dont do well together anymore.
Contract Signing- This could be a promo of the month candidate. It was not that long but it brought up some great points. You really dont know how good I think this promo is.
Kennedy vs Hassan- Kennedy wins, what else is new?
Main Event- What a CRAZY finish this was! I am glad that Angle and Hart got the win. But The Rock and Cena interfering was awesome. What a way to end the last Raw before SNME.
Grade- 9/10.
P.S.- I see that you havent been getting SD reviews. I will review your next Smackdown for you. As the preview summed it up pretty good.
Raw for 4/10/06 is Posted. Click on the banner to check it out!

It's natural for tweens and teens to feel uncomfortable in
their changing bodies. And we're sorry to say that for most of us, it's normal
to dislike parts of our bods from time to time. But when you let these toxic
thoughts get out of control, they can do serious damage. Whether you think
you're slipping down the disordered-eating spiral or have a full-blown eating
disorder, GL is here with 12 dos and don'ts to help you get back to being
Do talk it out. I
know it's awkward and hard to talk about, but eating disorders have a
frightening way of rooting themselves in your mind. Your parents or a trusted
adult mentor can help you find the professional help you need.
Don't be afraid to get help. Conquering an eating disorder isn't as easy as eating three full meals
every day. The way you view your body and the things you put into it are hard
to change. Meeting with a pro is a hugely helpful way to get your brain back on
Do train with a pro. If
you want to revamp your body image, exercise is a great way to do it. But you
have to be careful not to go overboard, especially when your body is recovering
from disordered eating habits. Working with a professional to develop an
exercise plan will help keep you toned without overtaxing your bod. Yoga is a
great activity to consider because it encourages a positive outlook for your
mind and body, and can keep you fit without working your body too hard.
Don't hide it. Wearing
baggy clothing or sneaking off to purge might seem like easy ways to keep your
eating disorder a secret. These behaviors do far more harm than good, though,
so back away, babe, and be honest with those who love you and yourself.
Do focus on feeding your body. Many girls develop an eating disorder because they
need some sort of control over their lives. Visiting a nutritionist to figure
out exactly what your body needs to function—and then following her advice—can
help you gain control of your body in a healthy way.
Don't pull away. When
you're struggling to regain healthy habits, it's tough listening to your
friends ask you how you're doing or your parents inquiring about your daily
diet. But don't use their lack of understanding or tact as a reason to pull
away from them. You need support. Explain how you're feeling and how they can
help you best.
Do snack. If the
idea of eating three large meals a day is off-putting, try consuming smaller
meals with snacks scattered throughout the day. Think celery and peanut butter,
apples, Greek yogurt smoothies, almonds and cheese and crackers.
Don't think of food as the enemy. It's not! Splurges are okay, sweetie, so don't feel
guilty about munching on those homemade treats your bud bakes or an extra
helping of fresh strawberries 'n' whipped cream. Resist the urge to purge and
savor the delicious things you consumer. Remember: Your body needs food
to keep you doing what you love. Food is a good—make that great—thing.
Do seek out healthy friends. If your group of girlies is focused on looks 24/7, it's a fab idea to
expand your horizons with some new buds. Surround yourself with chicas who are
positive about themselves and the world you live in, and you'll feel yourself
adopting their mindset. Girl power!
Don't lie. It's
tempting to tell a friend or family member what you think they want to hear,
but plastering on a smile and pretending that life is just peachy won't help
you get better. If you're feeling uncomfortable with a convo, simply say, "I
really appreciate your concern, but I'd rather not talk about it."
Do look for a new emotional outlet. Take time to think about why and how disordered
eating became a habit. Perhaps your parents are going through a divorce, or
school is getting super stressful. Whatever the reason is, try to channel your
emotions in a healthy way. Take up painting or ceramics or drawing. Write music
or plays. Start keeping a diary. Do what makes you feel happy.
Don't go through it alone. There
are tons of hotlines and support groups out there that will allow you to remain
anonymous if you so choose. Getting advice from someone who's walked in your
shoes can help you feel less isolated. They can also give you good advice about
dealing with concerned friends and fam, and dealing with your disorder.
For starters, you can call the National Eating Disorder Helpline toll-free at 1-800-931-2237
or visit their website for
more information about treatment options at nationaleatingdisorders.org.

Korora 18: A screenshot tour
Summary: Korora is based on Fedora, but comes with lots and lots (and lots) of additional packages — here's my screenshot gallery of the desktops and contents.
3 of 9Image
(Image: Screenshot by JA Watson/ZDNet)
Gnome menu
I installed the Gnome 3 version on my Acer Aspire One 725, which has an AMD C-70 dual-core CPU, Radeon HD 7290 graphics with 1,366x768 resolution on an 11.6-inch display, Realtek wired network, and Broacom 4313 wireless network adapter.
There were absolutely no problems with the installation; all of the hardware was recognized and configured automatically, and worked flawlessly.
The screenshot above shows the Gnome 3 applications menu, which gives a first glimpse of the variety of software that is included pre-installed in the Korora 18 distribution.
(Image: Screenshot by JA Watson/ZDNet)
Korora KDE
I installed the KDE version on my Acer Aspire One 522, which has an AMD C-60 CPU, Radeon HD 6290 graphics, and 1,024x600 resolution with a 10.1-inch screen, and Atheros wired and wireless network adapters.
This was where I saw the first major difference in using the Gnome and KDE distributions. Even though I had loaded the Gnome version on a more powerful system, the performance of the KDE version on this netbook was noticeably better.
The screenshot above shows the default KDE desktop. While there is certainly no problem with its performance on this system, I prefer the KDE netbook desktop on this kind of system. So I go to System Settings > Workspace Behaviour > Workspace > Workspace Type and choose "Netbook" from the drop-down list.
(Image: Screenshot by JA Watson/ZDNet)
Korora netbook
The KDE netbook desktop. The point here is to show what is really interesting about Korora, so rather than presenting a long, boring list of packages and versions, this time I will use the KDE netbook graphical menu hierarchy to present an overview of the contents. It is important to note that what I am showing here is only the Korora base distribution; I have not loaded any additional or optional packages.

Comments about Womens Champion Shape T-Back Sports Bra:
I have purchased over a dozen different sports bras and this bra is by far the best for runners with large breasts. I wear this under a sports tank top (with a shelf bra in it) and my breasts do not bounce at all. Make sure you do not dry in the dryer and this will last for a long time
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

About Us
Hello Neighbor!
Now in its 10th year, New-Venture Pharmacy and Total Eyewear Outlet had their beginning in the Venture Department Store as Venture Pharmacy. The pharmacy was a part of the community for 26 years, and Larry Anderson was the chief pharmacist for the last 15 of those years. When Venture closed in 1998 we became New-Venture Pharmacy and Total Eyewear Outlet and moved to our current address on Lincoln Highway.
New-Venture Pharmacy is something of a novelty in the high-tech world of Pharmacy, especially in Fairview Heights. Independently owned and operated by Larry Anderson, RPh, and Susanne Anderson, RN, we're family oriented and user-friendly. Even though we are a professional state-of-the-art dispensing pharmacy, we still recognize you when you come in the door and make time for all your concerns. Here you get to speak to the pharmacist every time -- because he's at your eye level, right out in the open. Larry designed the store with his customers in mind.
In addition to attending to all of your traditional pharmaceutical needs, we also offer products and counseling reflecting your current interest in natural supplements, Chinese food-grade herbal foods and products, and information about natural healing alternatives and practitioners. Free delivery service is available in the Fairview Heights area and Senior Citizen discounts for medication and sundries are honored everyday. We offer a "Low Price Guarantee" and honor most insurance programs for prescriptions.
We believe in developing lasting relationships with our customers. So don't be bashful. Just drop in and look us over. That's the "neighborly" thing to do.

Hello all. I am building a smoker from an expansion tank with a box I will weld for the offset fire box. I have not seen how big the hole from the fire box to the grill/ smoker should be. I dont want the hole to be too large if that means too much heat or to small for too little. Is there an average? I can make it any size. The box will be 12x18n and the grill is round 38x20.
It doesnt really need to be that big. Maybe like a 1/4 the size of the firebox. I would put a damper on the opening so the flame isnt going up the side of the pit. The damper will help the meat closest to the firebox from getting flame and also push the heat accross the bottom of the pit first.
I am turned into a sort of machine for observing facts and grinding out conclusions.
~Charles Darwin
Great, thanks for the info.
If you would like to get the expert opinion of a great bunch of guys, some of whom build smokers for a living, or have been doing it for years as a hobby, I would highly recommend thesmokering.com. I come to HBT for beer advice, and go to the smoke ring for BBQ advice. Not that there aren't good bbq folks here to, but those guys are Q fanatics!
I have built a couple and modified alot. See pic for my latest. Small compact and fits in the garage. A SWMBO must. Can you spot the beer opener on my pit?!
yes the dampner/deflector is a must. I am a fan of just using a flat plate so it is nothing to hard to weld up. This just keep the flame from kissing the meat closest to the box. I have seen some guys run plates all through the bottom so it retains heat better like an oven then the smoke comes out the other side still inside the main chamber and gets in the meat for flavor. You can make these removable so that you can do either or. Its almost like staking grates, but solid plate.
I added a pic showing the baffle concept. You can make the plates small or one long continous depending on what you are trying to do. I dont have one of these setup yet but would like one because it gives you one more thing to adapt or change when smoking.
Wow thanks for the pic! I can almost taste the ribs now.
most of them are done and stop at the diagonal slant. that is the deflector/dampner. Going straight across is optional.
So, when smoking food, you don't bother using wet wood chips at all? What is mean by using lump? Man I wish I had a smoker, but I'm quite positive I'd get kicked out of my apartment complex. I'll move out soon enough and want to get all this info down in advance. Is there a book or someway to see the action going down to better understand what I am reading?
Lump is Lump charcoal. As opposed to Briquettes. It burns a little hotter than briquettes, and doesn't ash as much. Personally, I prefer using it myself. Some like briquettes though.
In terms of the wood, don't get it wet. It burns better and cleaner. Check with your apt complex. I had a smoker at my apt complex.

Coffee addiction may be psychological disorder
Updated On: Jun 09 2014 08:53:17 AM EDT
You want to cut back on caffeine, but you can't - even if your doctor says you have to.
Now, new research is saying that dependence on caffeine is not just a physical issue... it could be affecting us psychologically.
Jessica Hayes starts her day with a jolt of java and often refuels throughout the day.
"I feel like it helps me be more productive," she says.
Even if she's running late for work, she says she can't forgo a cup of Joe.
"I'll call my boss and say 'I'm so sorry I slept through my alarm. I'll be there soon,' but really I'm going through a drive-through. And then you can't walk into work late with, you know, coffee that you just bought, so I'll just drink it really fast in the car."
A caffeine researcher, Professor Laura Juliano, says that caffeine reliance could be a psychological problem for some people. It's being called Caffeine Use Disorder.
"Caffeine use disorder is having physical dependence, but in addition to physical dependence, some sort of harm because of the, the drug caffeine, as well as an inability to stop using it when someone wants to or when they're advised by a medical provider to do so." Juliano adds that even though it's not an official diagnosis, caffeine use disorder was included as a condition for further study in the American Psychiatric Association's latest diagnostic and statistical manual of medical disorders… or DSM.
Professor Juliano says she's seen cases where caffeine users have sought treatment.
"It would be beneficial if, if treatment guidelines were developed in the same way they we've developed them for tobacco. People have come to us saying yes please help me, I believe my caffeine use is problematic." Juliano adds that she is researching potential treatment practices, which might include face-to-face counseling.
If you're looking to cut down on caffeine … even if you don't think you've got a disorder, experts have this advice: "You should try reducing it gradually, not stop it abruptly. Tell yourself the reasons why you're changing your caffeine use. Remind yourself when you're having a urge, or when you're thinking about using more than you should."
In terms of how many people might be affected with this potential disorder, Professor Juliano says more research is needed.

That's one of the first questions I put to artist Caitlin Hurd about
her oil paintings, which feature dazed, inert figures floating through
the landscape. But they aren't floating as much as sleepwalking,
according to Hurd. "It all started with how I wanted to live
my life," she says. "Dealing with expectations of finding a husband,
making babies, living in a house—it felt like I could go through all of
the motions but be sleepwalking through life. That's why I try to do
whatever I do with purpose—thinking about what I'm doing before I do
it," she says.
Vermillion, crimson, scarlet, fuchsia—the color red comes in so many
different shades. And of all the colors in the spectrum, it's the most
easily visible. It's also the hottest of the warm colors and has even
been proven to raise blood pressure and respiration rates. No matter
the hue, if you paint it red, it will command attention.
As much as the stereotype of the solitary painter working alone and
shutting him- or herself off from the world makes artists seem
mysterious and cool, I've found that artists tend to be fairly social
creatures, and their cool factor isn't lessened by their sense of
community. Sometimes this is situational—you are in a painting or
drawing workshop or class, and you swap stories and commiserate and
encourage your fellow students because you are working through the same
issues and assignments.
Over and over again I hear artists cooing about the thick richness
of oil paints and its appealing spreadability, and yes, all of that is totally true.
But artist Bev Jozwiak is giving oil a run for its money in terms of buttery appearance
and saturated colors, and she's doing it with watercolor.
I'm starting this year by reassessing my approach to painting and
recommitting to more concentrated studio time. I don't necessarily feel
that I want to completely revamp my process, but there are a few old
habits that I want to break and a few new ones I want to instill. I've
found that the more people I tell about my plans, the more likely I am
to follow through, so here are my painting resolutions for the New Year:
I used to think so romantically about Monet, Pissarro, and the other
Impressionists. Not romantic like Manet is so dreamy; romantic as in
idealizing this particular group of painters—thinking they stepped
outside of their studios and, snap, Impressionism just happened.
Veneration can sometimes blind the mind's eye to all the toil and
planning that goes behind an elegant masterpiece. The reality is that
the Impressionists were strategists, thinkers, and pioneering
technicians when it came to the art they produced.
I typically don't carry around a sketchbook, but during this time of
year I could make an exception. There is so much going on, and it seems
like everywhere I look there's a composition waiting to be found. Just
yesterday I went for a walk, and the sight of a little girl tugging
demandingly on her father's pant leg, pointing to a 14-foot Christmas
tree was just begging to be captured. Later, two dapper gentlemen
sitting on the subway in matching business suits, horn-rim glasses, and
camel-colored trench coats looked as though they'd stepped right out of
a painting.

Mixer was very interesting. The girl that we thought was the most conservative who showed up turned out to be the most out there. I mean the boob-alicious. Jennier shows up and she basically wears Jessica Simpson's dresses from two years ago with that tatas out there to china and she's all flirty myrty. And at first Gary's like, "well she's too over the top for me." And I'm like, "Did you not ask me for Jessica Simpson, born again. That's that girl." So he kind of realized in the end, yeah I'm right, and that was probably the best pick for him. And after several mini-dates he said, "OK this is the one I'm going to go with." And that was fine I sealed that deal.
But then had so many women to choose from, I was kind of surprised he picked a redhead. Destin's choice, which was a little odd, because I don't usually let redheads come to the mixers. But I gotta go with the client. He chose Sally
On their date, Sally and him went surfing. Not my usual date. Neither one had tried that before. It's kind of cold in the water. They had to wear wetsuits. But in walks in Alex, the fun, 23-year old, hot surf instructor that Sally can't take her eyes off of, and there goes Steve. And she was rude. Very dogmatic. Found out about his five-year daughter being given up 19 years ago and was kind of pissed off about that. Who the f—k is she? She's got red hair. She shouldn't be talking, let alone getting a date.

Despite what the voice message may tell you, the Noble County Sheriff's Department is not going to resolve your outstanding warrant over the phone.
The department recently received a report from a man who said he got a voice message from someone with what sounded like a Middle Eastern accent which said the man had an arrest warrant.
The incoming call number on the caller ID said it was the Noble County Sheriff's Department making the call, according to Chad Willett, chief deputy in Noble County.
The recording leaves a New York state phone number for the recipient to call to take care of the warrant.
The message says the number is the Department of State Investigations with the Criminal Bureau of Investigations.
Willett said the Noble sheriff's department does not handle warrants over the phone and this operation is the latest in many phone scams.
He reminded residents to never give out personal or financial information over the phone.

To celebrate the launch of our new WordPress website rebuild we wanted to do something fun. The whole team works on our website, whether it be coding, planning or posting, so it made sense that we all play a role in the upgrade from our previous website. The collaborative design effort went so well, we thought we would try our luck at designing some custom kicks next.
We each got a budget of $150 and access to a shared mi adidas account to create our shoes in their online builder app. I have an inexplicable adidas obsession so I'm not going to lie I have been planning my perfect pair of adidas shoes for a while and got far too much fun out of this whole experience.
So here's our final designs:
