Virginia (i/vərˈdʒɪnjə/ vər-JIN-yə, UK /vərˈdʒɪniə/ vər-JIN-ee-ə), officially the Commonwealth of Virginia, is a state located in the South Atlantic region of the United States. Virginia is nicknamed the "Old Dominion" due to its status as the first colonial possession established in mainland British America, and "Mother of Presidents" because eight U.S. presidents were born there, more than any other state. The geography and climate of the Commonwealth are shaped by the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Chesapeake Bay, which provide habitat for much of its flora and fauna. The capital of the Commonwealth is Richmond; Virginia Beach is the most populous city, and Fairfax County is the most populous political subdivision. The Commonwealth's estimated population as of 2014 is over 8.3 million.
The area's history begins with several indigenous groups, including the Powhatan. In 1607 the London Company established the Colony of Virginia as the first permanent New World English colony. Slave labor and the land acquired from displaced Native American tribes each played a significant role in the colony's early politics and plantation economy. Virginia was one of the 13 Colonies in the American Revolution and joined the Confederacy in the American Civil War, during which Richmond was made the Confederate capital and Virginia's northwestern counties seceded to form the state of West Virginia. Although the Commonwealth was under one-party rule for nearly a century following Reconstruction, both major national parties are competitive in modern Virginia.

This video begins along the reversible I-95 HOV lanes in Fairfax County, VA and proceeds through the Springfield Interchange onto the new I-495 Capital Beltway Express Lanes.

This video is more to show my subscribers that I haven't forgotten about them, or this channel. I haven't had a lot of time to do this. We've moved, my commute to/from work is longer, plus there's a kid on the way. My little free time is used to relax, but I've started to get bored of relaxing, hence this video. My next one won't be up for at least two weeks; I hope this is enough to keep people interested! Summary: Two clips. First clip is one of the dumbest drivers I've ever encountered. Second clip is the aftermath of a really bad accident, and the loud issue it indirectly caused at a later intersection. I did not bother with blocking the plates this time because I wanted to get this out quick before I started losing subscribers. D: I've barely had enough time to keep up with...

(Watch in 1080p) My journey on the Appalachian Trail -- from Chester Gap (near Front Royal) to Snickers Gap (near the West Virginia state line). Notable landmarks on this section of the trail include 'The Rollercoaster', Sky Meadows State Park, and Bear's Den. The rights to all background music used in this film belongs to their respective owners -- I do NOT claim ownership. (See end credits for details).
***Preacher POV*** Excerpt of my 1st on campus preach. Went out mid day to the local Northern Virginia Community College campus by myself with a small voice amp and banner and began lifting up the name of Jesus and answering questions for 1.5 hours before rain got heavy and I decided to leave. Once I started rebuking sin on campus and exposing the students need for a savior many got stirred up. By the end of the vid, about 250 students are gathered and exposed to the word of God as police had me stand behind a chain barrier. Several "make-believers" on campus exposed. After the preach, several Christians on campus thanked me and told me the outreach opened up immediate witnessing opportunities. Praise God!
