Speeding Tickets

“NJ Ticketing – State Police–Latest NJ State Police Initiative
Thought you should know, 101.5 FM confirmed all of this…..

New Jersey will launch a 30-day speeding ticket frenzy. The state
 estimates that 9 million dollars will be generated in speeding tickets.
 1 million will go to pay state troopers overtime. There will be 50 state
 troopers on duty at all times patrolling the 9 main intersections and
 highways.
 
 They are the following:
 I-295 north and south
 1-95 (Jersey Turnpike) north and south
 1-80 east and west
 I-287 north and south
 I-78 east and west
 I-195 east and west
 1-280 east and west
 Rt. 130 north and south
 Garden State Parkway north and south
 5 mph above the limit can justify a ticket and every state trooper
 is supposed to pull a car over and write a ticket every 10 minutes.

They have issued 30 brand new unmarked Crown Victoria cruisers and they are
 bringing all their part timers on full time.
The price of a ticket for violation of NJ Law39:3-29 (failure to show your driver’s license, registration, or insurance card at the time you are stopped) is going from $44.00 to $173.00. Please make sure your vehicles have the proper documents in them. If you jump in the car to run to the store and forget your wallet with your license in it and you are stopped…. Oh well… you just spent $173. And the fine for not having all three documents is $519!!!

The fine for hand held cell phone use while driving will be going up to $180. AND a yearly charge on your insurance!!!

BE CAREFUL 

School Weekend

This past weekend, I went with my school to upper NY…mountains area.

It was reaalllyyy fun! The whole high school was on one floor along one hall way.

The food was great, considering that we brought mostly our own . The weather…well, it could’ve been nicer, but at least it didn’t rain the whole time. 

Basically, I didn’t go to sleep Saturday night…my friends and I stayed up and saw the sun rise. It was beautiful! Finally we all fell asleep at 6:00 am…we left at 7:00 am lol.

We made a big camp fire and had smores!! lol and we put on a talent show…that was really funny !

Everyone was crying that they’re gonna miss my class (seniors), that was at 2:00 am so we were all overtired lol

On the way back, everyone was sleeping! There was not a sound on the bus except for the motor.  

That’s all i guess…oh yea! I went around with a video camera just taping the ordinary stuff that went on…mostly boring but still, memories…

Finals

This week is finals week. It comes along with having no more school

I have one test tomorrow and then the rest of the week I have two tests a day. 

I’m really excited for school to finally be over…but the problem is I have to study every night…

Wednesday, May 14

Today was my second to last day of high school.

Of course the teachers tried to get as many things done as possible…but that didn’t work .

After school, I went to my grandmother’s house for a while. (she’s borrowing my car for tomorrow.) 

Then as lazy as I was feeling, I actually got my homework done!! I made a list of things to do and I accomplished most of it!! yay me! lol

And now, I will go read my book…

Economy

MY FIRST ENTRY~~

The economy is in dire straits.. milk, gas, eggs and basically the price of living going up everyday..and everything we own..including houses going down….

personally ive had to rethink driving to sporting events and start taking mass transit…(especially with experts predicting $5 a gallon this summer)….i hope that it doesn’t come to lowering my milk level in my cereal lol…

HOW HAS THIS AFFECTED YOU?

More Beach Pictures

Here are two good shots I took on Thursday at the beach. I went with my class and we ate pizza with my teacher, really fun!

Easy Background

okay…….FINALLY my next tutorial..here goes.

1) choose ANY photo. Make sure you like the colors in it, because that’s all you’ll see in the end result.

2) Go to your toolbar and click on “Single Row Marque Tool”

3) Then, click once anywhere on the photo…choose an area which has interesting colors or that you like the most.

4) Next, duplicate the layer.

5) Now that you have a separate layer, you will need the “Free Transform Tool” . This allows you to transform the layer easily.

Make sure the duplicated layer is selected when using this tool.

6) Now drag the layer all the way across the canvas.. You can go all the way or play around for a different look.

7) Once you’ve set it the way you like it, press ENTER.

And there you go…an easy background for basically anything. 

This can be done to any photo and each photo will come out different than the next!

Weather?

What’s up with the weather over by the coast? (NY,NJ)

First, it was all beautiful early spring, and then it gets all rainy and cloudy..

I like winter for the snow and summer for the sun and spring for the flowery stuff…and sun but…not the rain…oh well, i guess everything in moderation…

Get Gas Price DOWN!!!

THIS IS NOT THE ‘DON’T BUY’ GAS FOR ONE DAY, BUT IT WILL SHOW YOU HOW WE CAN GET GAS BACK DOWN TO $1.30 PER GALLON.

I hear we are going to hit close to $ 4.00 a gallon by next summer and it might go higher!! Want gasoline prices to come down? We need to take some intelligent, united action. The oil companies just laughed at us when we tried to unite to not buy gas for a day because they knew we wouldn’t continue to ‘hurt’ ourselves by continuing it any longer.
Phillip Hollsworth offered this good idea, and this idea make much more sense than the ‘don’t buy gas on a certain day’ campaign that was going around last April or May!
It’s worth your consideration.

The only way we are going to see the price of gas come down is if we hit someone in the pocketbook by not purchasing their gas! And, WE CAN DO IT WITHOUT HURTING OURSELVES.
How? Since we all rely on our cars, we can’t just stop buying gas.
But we CAN have an impact on gas prices if we all act together to force a price war.
Here’s the idea: For the rest of this year, DON’T purchase ANY gasoline from the two biggest companies (which now are one), EXXON and MOBIL.
If they are not selling any gas, they will be inclined to reduce their prices. If they reduce their prices, the other companies will have to follow suit.
But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of Exxon and Mobil gas buyers. It’s really simple to do! Now, don’t wimp out on me at this point…keep reading and I’ll explain how simple it is to reach millions of people!!

If this makes sense to you, please pass this message on. I suggest that we not buy from EXXON/MOBIL UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE $2.00 RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN. THIS CAN REALLY WORK.

Keep it going
