Maximum freedom of movementThe Tribord 900 women's wetsuit collection has a cut and materials that were specifically chosen to increase freedom of movement as much as possible and to make paddling easier. The entire wetsuit is made from ultra-stretch neoprene. All the seams are stretch seams.
MaterialsTribord 900 wetsuits are made from 100% ultra-stretch neoprene to ensure thermal insulation and ultra flexibility. The neoprene is lined with synthetic fabric for added resistance to wear. Neoprene thickness: 3 and 2 mm. Neoprene is a closed-cell polychloroprene elastomeric foam with trapped nitrogen bubbles that have insulating properties. The flexibility of the 900 range is provided by the super-stretch properties of the foam and the textile.
How does neoprene work?By trapping a thin layer of water around the body, a neoprene wetsuit works in two ways: 1. The trapped water gradually warms up; 2. Heat transfer from the body decreases. The wetsuit and the thin covering of water form a layer of insulation.
Watertight assemblyThe seams are stitched and glued to ensure a watertight seal and durability. The seams are "blind-stitched". The thread does not pass all the way through the neoprene, so water can't get through. The absence of threads on the inside avoids irritation and chafing. Patches for comfort and reinforcement are strategically placed on the inside in sensitive areas. To further enhance the watertight seal and durability of the assembly of our 900 ranges, they are fully taped on the inside.
Key pocketThere is a key pocket at the back of the calf.
Back zipThe rear closure of our women's 900 models is the best configuration for the female body for fastening and taking off. The full-length flap ensures an optimum watertight seal.
Sizing and fitA surfing wetsuit should be a very tight fit to ensure the best possible thermal efficiency. It is perfectly normal to have the impression it is too tight when trying it on in a fitting room or at home. This discomfort quickly disappears once the suit gets wet. We have put the zip at the back of the wetsuit for more comfort during surf sports (when lying down to paddle).
Multi-water sports wetsuitsOur wetsuits are designed to meet the needs of the most demanding surfers. Our design choices also make them compatible with other water sports such as kitesurfing, windsurfing, wakeboarding, water skiing, sea wading or SUP (stand up paddle boarding).
Product testing
CompositionFoam : 100.0% Rubber - Chloroprene (CR) - Neoprene Lining : 100.0% Polyamide (PA)
Storage adviceIn a dry, ventilated place. Avoid heat sources. To extend the life of your wetsuit, do not leave it out to dry in direct sunlight.
Cleaning adviceRinse with fresh water, do not machine wash or tumble dry. Do not dry in direct sunlight as this hardens the Neoprene over time.
Product catchlineUltra-flexible surfing wetsuit designed for women. Taped seams and back flap to stop water entry.
Lab testedDeveloped and tested by our design teams in Hendaye, France. The components used for this product are laboratory tested to ensure the best possible quality and durability.

Sony CyberShot T300
Sony T300 :
There are cameras that just take great pictures. And then there's the new Sony Cybershot T300 from Sony. Available in a choice of couture silver, black and red finishes, the Sony T300 stands apart from other digital cameras with its svelte lines and audacious vertical-format styling. Looks apart, it's a powerhouse of advanced Sony technology that makes it easy to shoot and share breathtaking images. Picture quality and responsiveness is assured by the Sony BIONZ image processing engine that improves the speed and accuracy of autofocus, exposure control, white balance and colour adjustment functions. It also boosts sensitivity to a maximum ISO 3200 for low-noise shots without flash indoors or in dim lighting conditions.
Sony optical image stabilisation
Teamed with Super SteadyShot optical image stabilisation, this Double Anti-Blur solution ensures clearer handheld pictures, especially in low light or at higher zoom settings. The BIONZ processor also powers the D-Range Optimiser, adjusting exposure and contrast for natural-looking results, especially in strongly backlit scenes where there's a risk of losing high- and lowlight detail. A new DRO Plus mode processes each image region separately for even more lifelike, balanced exposures with the trickiest scenes.
Sony Face Detection technology
The improved Face Detection technology can now distinguish automatically between children and adults, adjusting exposure, skin tone and red-eye reduction for great portraits with super-quick subject tracking. For even more fun when you're shooting, Smile Shutter waits until the subject smiles before automatically firing the shutter. It's great for capturing relaxed portraits and special moments with young children who won't always smile on demand. Used in conjunction with Face Detection, it can be primed to fire the shutter when either a child or adult smiles.
Sony CyberShot DSC-T300 Digital Camera
In a Cyber-shot first, the Sony T300 now features Intelligent Scene Recognition that takes the guesswork out of selecting the right camera settings in a range of common shooting situations. In Advanced mode, the camera takes two shots - one with standard automatic settings and the other with optimised settings - allowing you to pick your favourite. Other standout features include the large, widescreen 3.5-inch Clear Photo LCD Plus touchscreen. With an extremely high resolution of 230k dots, it's ideal for viewing your photos and showing them off to friends. There's also a high quality Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens with a powerful 5x zoom range that brings distant subjects closer with superb clarity.
Sony Cyber-shot T300 Features
• 10.1 effective megapixels
• Carl Zeiss 5x optical zoom lens
• 3.5-inch 230K dot Clear Photo LCD plus Touchscreen
• BIONZ processor powers Smile Shutter and Face Detection
• Intelligent Scene Recognition
• Super SteadyShot
• HD Output
• Three colour options: Silver, Black and Red
Sony T300 Extra features
After shooting, the Sony CyberShot DSC-T300 makes it easy to keep track of your shots. New 'Date View' mode displays your shots as thumbnail images on an on-screen calendar, while 'Favourites' mode only displays shots that you've selected. In addition, 'Filter by Faces' automatically sorts pictures containing children, babies and smiles - great if you've got loads of portraits to sift through.
Sony Cybershot T300 Price & Availability
Your memories will look even better in super-size as Slideshows with Music on your television set. Connecting the Sony Cybershot DSC-T300 to any PhotoTV HD compatible BRAVIA television or HD Ready display (via optional output adaptor cable) delivers even more incredible Full HD picture quality, with extraordinary detail and realism. Shooting in 16:9 high-resolution mode also makes it easy to create beautiful prints with the same widescreen aspect ratio as HD television. The Sony CyberShot DSC-T300 will all be available throughout Europe from beginning March 2008.

|Commercial Health Insurers, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Massachusetts (BCBSMA), Health Maintenance Organizations
|Linda Ruthardt, Commissioner of Insurance
|July 20, 2000
|Mental Health Parity
The purpose of this Bulletin is to inform carriers of the enactment of St. 2000, c. 80 (Chapter 80), An Act Relative to Mental Health Benefits. Chapter 80, in part, amends the following Massachusetts mental health mandated benefit statutes: M.G.L. c. 175, §§47B and 108E; c. 176A, §8A; c. 176B, §4A; and c. 176G, §§4 and 4B. Chapter 80 also repeals M.G.L. c. 176A, §8A1/2; and c. 176B, §4B, and adds section 4M to chapter 176G. Please refer to these statutes for a complete description of the new mandated mental health provisions.
Chapter 80 applies to health plans issued or renewed within or without the Commonwealth on or after January 1, 2001, with the exception of small group health plans subject to M.G.L. c. 176J and nongroup health plans subject to M.G.L. c. 176M, for which Chapter 80 will apply to health plans delivered, issued or renewed within or without the Commonwealth on and after January 1, 2002 1 . Chapter 80 does not apply to self-funded single employer health plans and Taft Hartley Trusts qualified under the Federal Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), and which are exempt from state mandated benefit laws pursuant to ERISA.
Chapter 80 directs insured health plans to provide mental health benefits on a nondiscriminatory basis to all residents of Massachusetts and to all insureds having a principal place of employment in Massachusetts for the diagnosis and treatment of the following mental and emotional disorders:
A health plan will be deemed to be in compliance with the above mandates of Chapter 80 if the health plan does not contain any annual or lifetime dollar or unit of service limitation for the treatment of the designated mental disorders that is less than that imposed for physical conditions.
Chapter 80 further mandates a minimum benefit of 60 days of inpatient treatment and a minimum benefit of 24 outpatient visits in a 12-month period for the medically necessary diagnosis and treatment of all other mental disorders described in the most recent edition of the DSM.
Chapter 80 also specifies the following:
|Chapter 80 states that all form filings implementing the above requirements are subject to the approval of the Commissioner of Insurance. Carriers should submit revised contracts, policies, certificates and evidences of coverage, or relevant riders, endorsements, or amendments which would be attached to existing documents regarding this benefit as soon as possible to the Health Unit at the Division of Insurance at the above address. For filing and fee requirements, please refer to Division of Insurance Bulletin No. SRB-96-16.
| 1 Benefits for mental health services offered by small group and nongroup health plans prior to January 1, 2001 may not be reduced or otherwise altered after January 1, 2001 until such time as the provisions of Chapter 80 become effective for these plans. The Division further would consider it a violation of Chapter 80 if small group or nongroup carriers reduce or otherwise alter mental health benefits prior to January 1, 2001.

Chris Smith, the Secretary of State for Culture, said yesterday that Rubens' painting of Teresa of Avila's vision of a Dove will hang in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, and the Millais will go to the Tate Gallery. It has not yet been decided where the sculpture will go.
A spokeswoman for the Tate said the gallery has other works by Sir John Everett Millais but that Mariana is a "wonderful" example. "It epitomises the style of Pre-Raphaelites and Millais did it during his most important period in the 1850s."
Millais painted Mariana after reading Tennyson's poem of the same name. The poem was, in turn, based on a character in Shakespeare's Measure for Measure. It was first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1851 and a verse of Tennyson's poem was inscribed on the reverse of the frame.
A spokeswoman for the Department of Culture said the Government had accepted the painting in lieu of pounds 4.2m of inheritance tax.
"If someone inherits a lot of valuable items and ends up with a very large inheritance tax bill, they can offer items to the nation in lieu of paying that tax," she said. "But it has to be something of pre-eminent importance and must satisfy the Government of its worth.
"Once it has been accepted then galleries and museums have to bid for it and, unless the family has specifically asked for it to be displayed in a certain place, then the Government decides where it will go."
The Rubens painting was accepted in lieu of pounds 420,000 tax and the Henry Moore was valued at pounds 63,000. The Ballad Seller, by the 18th-century painter Henry Walton, with a tax value of pounds 115,000, was also accepted under the scheme.
The Government is also taking an archive that once belonged to Clive of India, and which includes a record of his three Shropshire estates. The huge archive, described as an outstanding history of the country, occupies about 900 boxes and includes 1,000 maps and plans. By giving it to the nation, his family has saved pounds 116,471 inheritance tax.
"I am very pleased that these pre-eminent items have been saved for the nation," Mr Smith said yesterday. "The key element that links the objects together is their outstanding interest and importance to our heritage."

Global Diversification, Growth and Welfare with Imperfectly Integrated Markets for Goods
In this article, we examine the effect of the imperfect mobility of goods on international risk sharing and, through that, on the investment in risky projects, welfare and growth. We find that the welfare gain of financial market openness is not monotonic with respect to investors' risk aversion and the aggregate volatility of output growth. Our main result is that the welfare gain from integration is not drastically reduced by the presence of goods market imperfections, modeled as a cost of transferring goods from one country to the other. Hence, financial market integration may be a worthwhile goal to pursue even at a time when full goods mobility has not been achieved.

Hero MotoCorp Rating: BUY Target Price: Rs 2200 Rationale: The compant beat Q4 EBITDA estimate by 7% on the back of a richer product mix and a favorable Yen. Demand environment remains weak and FY14 volume growth over 5% would be a challenge However, concerns over loss of market share of the company are overdone
Federal Bank Rating: BUY Target Price: Rs 600 Rationale: Federal Bank's (FB) Q4FY13 results inline with expectations with adj NII/ PAT Rs5.4bn/ Rs2.2bn. Advance/ Deposit growth strong at 11% quarter-on-quarter. Net interest margin (NIM's) adjusted for interest reversal remain stable at 3.2%. Asset quality deteriorates as slippages higher at Rs3.5bn.
Shree Cements Rating: HOLD Target Price: Rs 4350 Rationale: Energy cost saving help EBIDTA beat, pricing remains weak. EBITDA at Rs 4.05 bn (+9% Y-o-Y) above est of Rs3.9bn - lower pet coke prices (down 7% Q-o-Q) help drive energy savings driving EBIDTA beat. EBIDTA/t Rs1042 +3.8% Y-o-Y, 2.5% Q-o-Q. Weak demand and pricing clearly visible-cement revenues decline 2% yoy. Volumes drop 6.2% Y-o-Y while realisations though +4.8% YoY decline 3.7% QoQ. Pricing power remains weak as cement prices continue to slide even in seasonally strong period.
Rallis India Rating: ACCUMULATE Target Price: Rs 144 Rationale: Results were below estimates as lower-than-expected margins dragged profitability. Revenue increased by 32% while PAT increased by 2.5x to Rs 105mn on low base. Higher raw material cost and poor demand has put pressure on margins in FY13. However revenue growth of 14% in FY13 was primarily driven by exports.
Hexaware Technologies Target: BUY Target Price: Rs 105 Rationale: Mach 13 quarter results inline on revenues, margins beat estimates aided by headcount rationalization. Better operating profits and forex gains help drive net profit beat. Top client revenues grow by more than 13% as non top client revenues remain flat. Europe drives growth amongst geographies

Payroll Taxes in Canada Revisited: Structure, Policy Parameters and Recent Trends
This paper extends earlier work by updating the structure and policy parameters of payroll taxes in Canada. Drawing from a newly available dataset, it also reports trends on the level, growth and role of each component of these taxes in recent years. Finally, it compares Canadian payroll taxes to those of the world's leading developed countries. The following highlights the main findings. Payroll taxes in Canada have grown considerably since the early 1980s, constituting an increasingly important source of revenues for both the federal and provincial governments. However, the rapid expansion observed in earlier years has in large part slowed down in the early 1990s. Payroll tax revenues collected from employees and employers in the country have stabilized at around 5.7% of GDP or 14.0% of total federal and provincial government revenues since 1992; the effective total payroll tax rate has levelled off at around $12.20 for every $100 of wages and salaries since 1994. The structure, level, growth, and role of each component of payroll taxes vary considerably from one province to another. Yet, EI premiums have remarkably been the largest component of these taxes in every province in both the 1980s and the 1990s, regardless of whether there are provincial payroll taxes; rising EI premiums have also consistently been the leading contributor to the expansion of total payroll taxes during this period. Despite rapid growth in the 1980s and early 1990s, Canadian payroll taxes remain one of the lowest in the world's major developed economies. According to data compiled by the OECD, total payroll tax revenues in Canada amounted to 6.0% of GDP in 1996 --- that is 14% lower than that of the United States (at 7.0% of GDP); the lowest in the G7 nations; and the 9th lowest among the 29 OECD member states.

Each member of the Ripon Christian Knights football program knew the importance of their Southern League showdown with Waterford High Friday. That fact made the Knights' 49-7 loss to the Wildcats even tougher to swallow.
LATHROP – With each minute of Valley Oak League soccer meaning more and more for the playoff hopeful clubs, Lathrop and Manteca put on a quality showing in a 1-1 stalemate Thursday at the Spartans' Bennie Gatto Field.

Gene, we must be related somehow.
In 3rd grade, my desk was right next to the "library", four short shelves of
books. While the teacher was diverted by classmates, I read them all, at the
expense of basic math skills. I never could stand to stay on the page when
we read aloud.

Motilal Oswal, Chairman and Managing Director and Raamdeo Agrawal, Joint MD of the company share their story in an interview with CNBC-TV18.
Raamdeo Agrawal (more)
Joint MD, Motilal Oswal | Capital Expertise: Equity - Fundamental
Motilal Oswal, Chairman and Managing Director and Raamdeo Agrawal, Joint MD of the company share their story in an interview with CNBC-TV18.
Below is the edited transcript of his interview with CNBC-TV18. Also watch the accompanying videos.
Q: 25 years has been quite a journey. For 25 years you have seen various business cycles. You must have seen lot of hope, lot of despair, where would you put where we are today on a scale of either hope or despair?
Agrawal: One of the things I have seen in the stock market and particularly for the economy underlying is that every seven years, you have one cycle. This seven year cycle at least for Indian markets, is again going to happen. The next appointed date for the boom is 2014-15.
Q: Do you think we are overdoing the pessimism?
Agrawal: Yes, for sure. But it's a cycle. When there is pessimism, people talk about pessimism. When there is a bull run, for example if you look two years back, you see the headlines and we were talking about double digit growth then.
Q: But, here we are talking about double deficit, policy paralysis.
Agrawal: It's all there. I am not saying that there is no policy paralysis or there are no problems. There are problems. But it's a process. Once the problem comes, you start highlighting them. The guys who are responsible start taking steps, they are also cornered. They cannot say that we don't want to do anything.
Q: Are you as optimistic?
Oswal: I am a born optimistic.
Q: The last fall hasn't ground that optimism down?
Oswal: As Raamdeo said, we have seen those kind of cycles and we have to accept the fact that financial services and even in Indian economic cycles, it will happen over a period of time and we are geared for good and bad times.
Q: Raamdeo you are an eternal optimist. You don't see the twin deficits, the policy paralysis. Does the India story still hold good for you?
Agrawal: India is doing much bigger than these twin deficits and all. We have problems of one quarter, two quarters, four quarters and very manageable problems. The people who are raising the objection about the problems themselves are saying that it is something that cannot be sorted out.
Q: Is it something that can be sorted out?
Agrawal: Yes it can be sorted out. So long as you have USD 300 billion sitting in your kitty, you can think a lot. Everything is possible. But if you are out, like in 1992 you had only seven days import cover, nobody will give you import cover, nobody will give you forex. That's not the situation this time.
Q: We have had a 5.3% number recently. A monsoon that's looking like it may not be the best amongst what we have had in many years. So, we are looking at perhaps sub 6% growth for the full year?
Agrawal: It could be 2%, it could be 3% for a year. How does it matter? It doesn't come to an end.
Q: What's the worry that we could go back to the 90s where you had inflation growing faster than growth and that puts a completely different spin on the mood, on savings, on everything?
Agrawal: We are unnecessarily trying to visualize lot of draconian days. Nothing is a zero probability event. I don't think things are completely broken down. You look at May, cement dispatches are up by 13%. You can't dump cement somewhere, it's a perishable commodity. Obviously, some construction is happening somewhere and 13% is a large number.
India is the second largest cement consumption country in the world. So when you see an upside of 13%, 13% more construction is happening and it is a very healthy sign. You look at your car sales, it is up by 3% on YoY basis despite the fuel problem, diesel engine problem and petrol engine problem.
If you could get enough diesel engines probably, your sales would have been growing at 8-10%. Motorcycle is up 12%, corporate profits are up 28% QoQ, still we have a declared IIP of 1%. Government revenue is up by 17%. So, which one is to be believed? We need to do certain things and which authorities will do.
They are taking proactive actions, some of them are political, some of them are clear sloppy implementation or whatever, but it's not broken down to a level where we must lose hope.

The laser utilizes the principle of "forced resonance" by vibrating the shell of a virus to "crack" it. Plus, tests have proven that it is possible to break down the shells at energies far lower than those needed to damage surrounding T-cells. Advertisement Since these ultrashort-pulse lasers or USPs don't generate a lot of heat, they are far gentler than conventional lasers, which may open up the possibility of using them to eradicate viruses in stored blood. The duo is currently testing the laser on HIV and hepatitis, which could be truly groundbreaking if successful. Will this physics professor and his biologist son restore my faith in medical science? Only time will tell. [Wired]Reply27 repliesLeave a reply

This is your resource to discuss support topics with your peers, and learn from each other.
Dear community,
My phone keeps emailing and calling random people from my contacts, because I am carrying it in my back pocket.
The phone is very easily unlocked accidentally as the unlock button sits on top of it, sticking out of the holster.
I have even tried placing it upward down into the holster but it still easily unlocks through the holster.
What is the most efficient way to keep the the device locked for back pocket storage? I could set up a password, but as the number of bad password inputs is obviously limited, I also do not want to have accidental password input.
Is there a way to deactivate the unlock button on top and use a key combination instead? Or anything else?
Thanks and best regards,
Hi fafedsagrae
Welcome to BlackBerry Support Forums
You can try any phone lock application and you can find it on BlackBerry App World .There are paid as well as free application available you can try that , BlackBerry App World
So try the one that suits you.
Hi fafedsagrae
If you don't like that then the best option is to set a password for your device .
KB00588 : Password security for the BlackBerry smartphone.
Because thats the best way to lock your keypads.
I know that I can set up a password, but as I said above, I do not want to do so, because if my back is able to send emails and call people, it is certainly able to enter a bad password ten times. Which would be bad, according to the link you posted:
"Important: If a password in typed incorrectly ten consecutive times, all of the information on the BlackBerry smartphone is automatically deleted. This is a security feature."
Strange enough, there does not seem to be a out-of-the-box solution...
Thanks for your suggestions anyway
Hi fafefdsagrae
First I suggested you to use any lock application which you disagree or able to use it and even you don't want to use the password feature.The device has a inbuilt lock which also doesn't suits you so I am also confused what else should I offer .
Sorry, of course this is not your fault, there's nothing more you can offer.
I am just a bit disappointed what my device offers.
In my eyes, unlocking a keyboard just with a short press of the hugest button on the device, sitting right on top of the device is bad product design.
I'd love to use a password to unlock, but not if it allows my butt to wipe my blackberry.
Never mind, thanks for your thoughts....
Hi fafefdsagrae
Having a password on our device is not a bad idea and also if we use simple password like abcd etc some user face the problem because they use mixture of different characters and they do mistake while entering those character on BlackBerry Keyboard .Supose you set a password : fafe123
And if you enter f > a > f > e > alt > 1 > 2 > 3 then actual result will be fafe1er
But You must enter f > a > f > e > alt > 1 > alt > 2 > alt > 3 then it will be fafe123 .
So its the user fault which lead to device wipe .I personally prefer you should keep a simple password and you will never face the problem or just make sure what character you are entering on your device.
I hope that helps.
I think we have a misunderstanding here ;-)
I am not frightened of user error (i.e. me typing the password wrong).
But if it is not my thumb typing the PW, but my back, while the phone is in my back pocket and I am riding the bike, it will definitely fail to enter the password correctly ;-)
Dear peter
Attending to a phone Calls while riding a bike is not a good idea

Highway Trust Fund:
All States Received More Funding Than They Contributed in Highway Taxes from 2005 to 2009
GAO-11-918: Published: Sep 8, 2011. Publicly Released: Oct 12, 2011.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-8509
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Federal funding for highways is provided to the states mostly through a series of grant programs known as the Federal-Aid Highway Program, administered by the Department of Transportation's (DOT) Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). In 2005, the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) authorized $197.5 billion for the Federal-Aid Highway Program for fiscal years 2005 through 2009. The program operates on a "user pay" system, wherein users contribute to the Highway Trust Fund through fuel taxes and other fees. The distribution of funding among the states has been a contentious issue. States that receive less than highway users contribute are known as "donor" states and states that receive more than users contribute are known as "donee" states. GAO was asked to examine for the SAFETEA-LU period (1) how contributions to the Highway Trust Fund compared with the funding states received, (2) what provisions were used to address rate-of-return issues across states, and (3) what additional factors affect the relationship between contributions to the Highway Trust Fund and the funding states receive. To conduct this review, GAO obtained and analyzed data from FHWA, reviewed FHWA and other reports, and interviewed FHWA and DOT officials.
From 2005 to 2009, every state received more funding for highway programs than they contributed to the Highway Account of the Highway Trust Fund. This was possible because more funding was authorized and apportioned than was collected from the states, and the fund was augmented with about $30 billion in general revenues since fiscal year 2008. If the percentage of funds states contributed to the total is compared with the percentage of funds states received (i.e., relative share), then 28 states received a relatively lower share and 22 states received a relatively higher share than they contributed. Thus, depending on the method of calculation, the same state can appear to be either a donor or donee state. The Equity Bonus Program was used to address rate-of-return issues. It guaranteed a minimum return to states, providing them with about $44 billion. Nearly all states received Equity Bonus funding, and about half received a significant increase--at least 25 percent--over their core funding. The infusion of general revenues into the Highway Trust Fund affects the relationship between funding and contributions, as a significant amount of highway funding is no longer provided by highway users. Additionally, using rate of return as a major factor in determining highway funding poses challenges related to performance and accountability in the highway program; in effect, rateof- return calculations override other considerations to yield a largely predetermined outcome--that of returning revenues to their state of origin. Because of these and other challenges, funding surface transportation programs remains on GAO's High-Risk list. GAO is not making any recommendations. DOT reviewed a draft of this report and provided technical comments, which we incorporated as appropriate.

Lost Traffic Ticket in New Mexico
If you lost your NM traffic ticket, you can contact the traffic court handling your case for details about your lost ticket. Be sure to find out how to respond to your charge, as well as your ticket fines, deadlines, and payment methods.
If you need to find traffic tickets, you've come to the right place. Below you'll find information related to lost traffic tickets that were issued as a result of a moving violation such as a speeding ticket or a red light ticket. Also in certain circumstances, some of the information may help you find a lost parking ticket, but it's best to confirm this with your local court prior to making any assumptions.
Determine Where You Were Cited in New Mexico
You'll need to act fast if you have a lost NM traffic citation. To avoid additional penalties and fines, you'll need to respond to your traffic ticket by the due date. If you miss your traffic ticket's appearance date, the New Mexico Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) may suspend your driver's license and the court may issue a bench warrant for your arrest.
First, pinpoint where you received your NM traffic ticket. If you can't remember the exact location, narrow it down to county. If you were ticketed by either the State Police or the Sheriff's Department, you'll need to call the county's or district's Magistrate Court to find out about your lost ticket. If you were ticketed by a municipal officer, you will need to either call the district's Municipal Court, or, if in Albuquerque, the Metropolitan Court.
Call the NM Traffic Court
Unfortunately if you can't find ticket information, you can't just call the New Mexico MVD to get information about it. Instead you must call the presiding New Mexico court and explain your situation. The court clerk will retrieve your lost ticket information and instruct you on how to proceed. If the court has no record of your NM traffic violation, call the surrounding courts near where you were cited. For instance, if you think you were cited somewhere near Santa Fe and tried the Magistrate Court, which oversees Santa Fe, Rio Arriba, and Los Alamos counties, without success, next call Santa Fe's Municipal Court.
Decide How You'll Plead to Your NM Ticket
Once you obtain information about your lost ticket, decide on one of three pleas to your traffic violation:
- Guilty.
- Nolo contendere (no contest).
- Not guilty.
The first two options require paying your traffic ticket fine. In New Mexico, pleading "not guilty" to your traffic violation mandates appearing in court. Regardless of your plea, decide fast. The court will not accept a lost traffic ticket as a legitimate excuse if you miss your traffic ticket's listed appearance date.
Pay Ticket
(Plead Guilty or No Contest)
- Pay the fine.
- Option to plea bargain penalties.
- Incur points on your driving record (could lead to license suspension/revocation).
- Possibly incur increase on auto insurance rates.
- Possible option to attend driver improvement school and reduce points.

Paying Your Traffic Ticket »
Fight Ticket
(Plead Not Guilty)
- Contest traffic citation via trial.
- Choose to represent yourself or hire an attorney.
- Possibly lose option to plea bargain for lesser penalties.
- No penalties if found not guilty, but must pay court/attorney fees.

With most of the votes counted in the race for four open seats on the state Superior Court, it appeared that Republicans were aligned to win at least three of those.
Updates on the Superior Court race are available from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's election Web site.
Judy Olson, a Republican appointed to the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas in 2008, held a comfortable lead over eight other candidates. With 97 percent of the votes recorded, Judge Olson had collected 15 percent.
The next closest vote-getter was Sallie Mundy, an attorney from Tioga County, who had 13.6 percent of the vote.
"I'm going to be the face of rural Pennsylvania on our appellate court," Ms. Mundy said.
Chester County Common Pleas Judge Paula Ott was in third with 12.6 percent of the reported votes. In the race for the final seat, Democrat Anne E. Lazarus, a Philadelphia Common Pleas Court judge, held a narrow lead over Allegheny County Common Pleas Court Judge Robert J. Colville.
Judge Olson attributed the success on the Republican ticket last night to working as a group.
"The Republican ticket has worked extremely hard and has been crisscrossing the state for 10 months," she said. "I think all of that hard work is paying off."
Judge Ott attributed the success of the Republican party's judicial candidates to the work of the statewide committee.
"As I've traveled around the state, the committee people were working really hard," she said. "There was a great push to support the judicial candidates."
"It's just amazing considering my late entry into the race," said Judge Ott, 59, of West Chester, who has been on the Chester County court since 1992.
Judge Olson, 52, of Franklin Park, practiced law for 27 years before joining the Allegheny County Common Pleas Court. She focused on complex commercial litigation. That experience, she said, should help her on the Superior Court.
"I must say I am very honored and humbled to have gotten so much support from the people of the beautiful commonwealth of Pennsylvania," she said.
There were nine candidates in the appellate court race, four Democrats, four Republicans, and one Libertarian.
The Superior Court, which serves as an appeals court for both civil and criminal law, had nearly 8,000 new cases filed in 2008. There are 15 seats on the Superior Court bench.

Gingered Carrot Orange Soup is rated out of 5 by 12.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Angela from Quick soup, went over well Quick soup, good but not my favorite. I found the orange flavor somewhat overpowering, even though I only used 2 oranges (all I had onhand). With three it would have been even moreso, I imagine. Next time I will try it without the orange, maybe a tablespoon or two of OJ concetrate if it needs some sweetening.

Rated 5 out of 5 by K_likestocook from Favorite soup Made this soup for Easter for a family claiming they do not like carrots, and carrot soup....they all went back for seconds and continue to request this soup. Easy to make, we love it cold with a dollop of creme fraiche and a little sprinkle of Himalayan sea salt

Rated 5 out of 5 by MargS from Great soup Agree that three oranges is a little over powering but otherwise this is absolutely delicious and exactly what I was looking for in a carrot ginger soup.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Kitch from Three Oranges is Too Much I would only use one orange and see how that goes. It was way too citrus for me. I did incorporate some milk in the end to make it edible. The milk seemed to cut the orange flavor and make it more creamy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jazzie from Easy recipe and quick to make Great recipe and was super quick and easy. I sauted my carrots in coconut oil along with the ginger and onions, and just added all liquid in the container.

Rated 1 out of 5 by JW4150 from Terrible recipe I made this for my kids and even their Dad who eats everything couldn't eat it. It didn't even taste like carrots. Definitely would not recommend it.

Rated 4 out of 5 by NanaBarb from I really enjoyed this soup I had to make some substitutions. I didn't have chicken or vegetable broth, but I had 14 ounces of beef broth, which made it non-vegetarian. I cooked the carrots (1 lb), garlic and onion in butter, added the beef broth and cooked the carrots soft. Put it in my vitamix with 2 oranges and 2 small mandarin oranges. Added juice of 1/2 lemon and milk. It was delicious! ! ! Yummmy! I want to try it again according to the recipe directions and see what it tastes like. Next shopping trip!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Fabius from too much Citrus for me Tried this recipe by the book - the soup tasted original (mixing oranges in a carrot soup is completely new to me) but the slightly bitter citrus taste of the ginger/orange mix was a bit too much for my tastebuds. I didn't finish my portion... I tried it again this time without the oranges and slightly less ginger, and mixed it with my first batch. And now I have excellent carrot soup for the upcoming weeks.

Replacing olive oil for the butter spread would work well.

|Review by: Loveland Golfer
|Eaton CC is not a difficult course, but it is lots of fun to play. The farmland setting is extremely peaceful and the view of the front range is beautiful. The best and most challenging part of the course is (are?) the wonderful greens - huge, smooth, and contoured. If they're cut down, do everything in your power to stay below the hole!! Although a private club, Eaton hosts several open tournaments a year and Rick Cole and his staff are most welcoming. All-in-all, a great place to play!

text: August 24 2013 August 24 8 Ways to Save on Yankee Candle Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to email this to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window) Yankee Candle, the company with "a passion for fragrance" is always my number-one pick for home scents. Not only do I enjoy the variety of fragrance choices, but I love the number of products they produce—I can find something for my kitchen, bathroom, office and car. But I have to be careful not to go overboard, as their prices are certainly higher than grocery store home fragrance lines like Glade and Airwick. I may not be able to buy Yankee Candle for grocery-store prices, but I've learned to come remarkably close! Here's how I get the best deals on the brand I love: 1. Shop the Sale Scenter Yankee Candle online offers a sale area with an incredibly fun name where buyers can search for all kinds of deals. Some include Buy More, Save More deals (like 2 room sprays for $12); Buy One, Get One deals (like buy one jar candle, get one 50 percent off); and last-chance savings (where closeouts and seasonal merchandise can be marked down as much as 80 percent). Purchases can be made at all price points. Here's a sampling of recent Sale Scenter deals: $1 Christmas-scented votives $8 Ocean tealight set $17.50 Carrot Cake and Maple Pancakes medium jar gift set 2. Buy from alternative locations Yankee Candle products are sold in a variety of locations, so try pairing store coupons and sales at gift stores like Hallmark or even closeout stores like T.J.Maxx, Marshalls and Ross to get big savings. My local Hallmark Gold Crown store just had an anniversary sale (20 percent off anything in the store), along with sidewalk-sale items. I got a medium jar candle in last year's Yankee Candle Halloween scent (scrumptious Candy Corn!) at 75 percent off. Many closeout stores sell medium and large-sized jar Yankee Candles for around $10, which is over half off their retail price. 3. Check KCL We love showering our readers with high-value printable coupons, like this one for $15 off a $45 purchase, valid through Sept. 2. Additionally, readers can stay up to date (and see what other coupons Yankee Candle is prone to releasing) by viewing the KCL database page devoted exclusively to tracking Yankee Candle coupons. 4. Shop the Semi-Annual Sale The Yankee Candle twice-a-year sale (June and December/January) allows me to stock up on fragrances I love and stash away some deals I'll give to friends, family, teachers and neighbors throughout the year. Many items in the semi-annual sale are 75 percent off. I love getting 49-cent votives and tarts, along with $15 large jar candles. And $3 air fresheners and car scents can't be beat! 5. Visit an outlet Wish those semi-annual sale prices could last year-round? Go where they do! Yankee Candle has dozens of outlet stores nationwide where bargain-basement prices are just waiting to be snagged. Many are connected with Tanger Outlet Center and Premium Outlet stores, which means you can visit lots of other manufacturer outlet stores to possibly get more great retail deals. 6. Follow on Facebook The Yankee Candle Facebook page is a great resource for learning about sweepstakes, fan appreciation events in-store, coupons, special events and more. And just in case you forget to mark the semi-annual sale on your calendar, this page will remind you! 7. Think alternately Think you can only use dedicated wax melt blocks in a Yankee Candle wax melt warmer? Think again! There are lots of techniques for saving money on pricey wax melts, including using tarts and votives scored for 49 cents to $1 at Yankee Candle semi-annual sales. Break them up into appropriate sizes for your warmer, and enjoy the melted aroma over and over again. 8. Buy with confidence Did you know Yankee Candle offers a full guarantee on all their products? I took advantage of this last year when I bought a multi-pack of scented-oil candles that, though advertised to burn completely, didn't follow through on the promise. I was disappointed with the $7.99 I spent to have a collection of a half dozen semi-burned candles. I called the company, and the representative took some product and store information. Then, I was asked to send one candle and the packaging to them so they could investigate the problem. Two weeks later, I received a $10 Yankee Candle gift card in the mail—more than my purchase price! I love that this and other companies guarantee their products so I can shop with confidence. I'm glad that a fragrance brand I love doesn't have to be cost prohibitive. Using these techniques for buying at heavy discounts, I'm able to enjoy Yankee Candle products in my home, car and office the whole year through. 9 Comments LEAVE A COMMENT Cancel reply Fill in the details below or click an icon to log in.Comment Name (required) Email (required) 9 thoughts on "8 Ways to Save on Yankee Candle" Joie 03/01/2016 at 8:29 pm When my jars have burned as far as they can, I take a butter knife and break up the leftover wax at the bottom to use as tarts. I usually get 2-3 half inch thick pieces. Reply Alyssa 08/27/2013 at 2:28 pm Check other stores as well! I just went to target yesterday and I picked up some 22 oz yankees for 8 dollars! Can't beat that! Reply Deb 08/24/2013 at 9:53 pm You forgot their Black Friday sales! Last year I got 3/$30 large candles and 2/$15 med. candles (pre-packaged so you don't always get to choose the scents, first year you couldn't) plus sign up for their emails because I get coupons all the time! $20 off a $45 purchase, $1 votives are just a few of the multiple emailed coupons I get ever year and sometimes they coincide with the semi-annual sales. Reply Krazy Coupon Lady 08/26/2013 at 10:30 am Thanks for the tip! Reply Alicia 10/24/2016 at 9:51 am Are you allowed to use the $20off $45 on sale items? Reply Melina E 08/24/2013 at 7:43 pm Not sure about other YC Outlet stores, but the one I frequent has older/out of season scents on a decent sale from time to time, but the "mainstream/in-season" scents/accessories are almost always the same price as the regular stores. Reply EK 10/03/2014 at 5:46 am Re: outlet stores–Make sure the store you visit is a true outlet. There are some YC stores that are in an outlet location, but they are still a retail store (for example, the YC store in Kittery, Maine). True outlet stores will offer ALL jar candles at 50% the retail price EVERY DAY. Also, you can ask the associates, and they will let you know if they are a retail or outlet store. Yes, they are mostly seasonally discontinued or retired scents, but from time to time you will find overstock of current scents that have been transferred from a YC retail store. You might also find a tester of a brand new scent that has yet to be released at the retail store. Reply Melly 08/24/2013 at 5:58 pm Be sure to check Tuesday Morning, too. They almost always have at least two scents for less than $10 for the 3-wick bowls. Reply Krazy Coupon Lady 08/26/2013 at 10:30 am Good tip! Reply

A friend of mine relayed a story to me about her shopping trip at the mall for a dress to wear at a friend's wedding. She was shopping for shoes to go with the dress and overheard the conversation of the store clerk with a pair of women. The clerk had brought out a pair of shoes to the women, and said, "Oprah had these shoes on her show. You should really try them on."
This goes to the heart of what is wrong with Oprah. How did this one woman become so huge as to influence an entire segment of the population on their consumerism? When Oprah goes on a diet, people rush out to buy the books which got her there. Given that I have seen Oprah go from fat to thin to fat to thin about three times, you have to wonder about the people who are blindly following her.
When Oprah talked about her relationship with Dr. Phil, all of a sudden Dr. Phil was the hottest shrink on the planet. Without Oprah, Dr. Phil is no one. He doesn't have his own show. He maybe is lucky to get a book published. He certainly wouldn't be a household name.
This brings me to what has made me so mad as to finally open up and write about it. Oprah has chosen one of my favorite books for her book club.
I am very protective of my favorite books and I try not to be swayed by the popular press. I founded and currently run the book club at my office. When I started it with a friend of mine, we made a pact to never choose a book that Oprah picked for her book club. Thankfully, she had never chosen any book that I had cared to read, until now. I have always felt that Oprah chose those books for the wrong reason—not to celebrate great literature, but to further Oprah and her cult of style. I had applauded when Jonathan Franzen chose to withdraw his book as an Oprah book club choice. Franzen chose to forgo the millions of sales in order to hold true to his principles, something truly lacking these days.
Two years ago, soon after its release, my friend and I chose a little known book entitled A Million Little Pieces by James Frey. When it was chosen, I was skeptical. All we had to go on was a few reviews on Amazon. Of the five reviews at the time, all were positively glowing. It also helped that the editors of Amazon had chosen the book as the best book of the year.
After reading, I was sold. Frey relates the story of his journey from a drug and alcohol abuser, through rehab and into real life. The story is a very moving one. It involves a love interest, true friendship, and the fight of one man to regain his life for himself. I will never in my life forget the scene where Frey receives a root canal without any Novocain. And in case you weren't sure, the entirety of the book is true.
The book is written with little punctuation. There are no quotes. You have to follow the conversations closely in order to stay with it. This is part of what intrigues me about the book—the sheer intensity of the reading experience. His sentences at the beginning of the book are short, choppy, reflective of the mind-set of Frey before he reaches rehab. As the book progresses, you get to see the growth of character and the maturity of Frey expressed through the language of his writing.
I read an interview with Frey not too long ago. In it, Frey expresses how difficult it was to write his opus. The intensity of the feelings that it brought out in him was just too much for him to continue with it. I am so glad that he decided to go on with it.
When someone comes to me now for a book recommendation, one of the top three books which I give them is A Million Little Pieces. I truly believe that anyone who reads this will be forever changed, and that it will be very difficult for anyone to not be moved by the experience. I won't lie. I cried at the end of the book. Yes, I am a man admitting that a book made me cry. Once you read the book, you will understand.
I have held off reading his new book, detailing his life after rehab. I am saving that experience for another time, though I am sure that I will enjoy it also.
So, to finish, I offer a plea to my fellow reader. If you are to go out and look for A Million Little Pieces, please do not do so because Oprah told you to do it. Please don't purchase the Oprah edition of the book. Look long and hard. Buy the hardcover version if you must. Finally, enjoy A Million Little Pieces for the wonderful book that it is, not because Oprah told you it was amazing.

Pan's Labyrinth is from the bizarre and highly creative mind of Mexican director Guillermo del Toro. It finally arrived after much anticipation on my part since I first saw the movie poster featuring the grey, alien-ish Pale Man with eyes in his palms.
This film is a fairytale for adults, although it may appear to be a horror film. While it is not as visually arresting as a Harry Potter film, it can be seen to be full of allegory as it tries to tell two seemingly unrelated stories. I found it to be more thought provoking than entertaining.
The first story is about a young girl who travels with her pregnant mother to a military outpost in the 1944 Spanish Civil War to be with her stepfather – a grim, cold, and violent Captain in the army. The rebels are in the hills and the arrogant Captain insists that his wife give birth at the military post because he believes a child should be born wherever the father is. There's nothing but subtle hostility between the Captain and his stepdaughter. Fortunately, she forms a bond with her mother's lady-in-waiting.
En route, the mother's car stops in the middle of a forest and the young girl encounters a stick-figured insect that she imagines is a fairy.
At the fortress, the girl follows the fairy into the nearby ancient labyrinth, which has a winding stone staircase that goes deep underground. In this dusty, gothic setting, she encounters another magical creature – a talking goat-like creature (Pan) that explains her role as a netherworld princess from long ago, essentially reincarnated.
He hands the girl a book containing a series of tests to prove that she is still some magical princess and not a human. The Pan creature is frightening in appearance, not unlike the imagery satanic heavy metal bands use for their album covers.
The other frightening creature that you may have seen looks a bit like a naked, emancipated, six-foot tall alien with eyes that it places in the palms of its hands to see. It's a slayer of children and isn't really explained. When he walks around with his fingers splayed around his face, it's as if he is saying, "Peek-a-boo. I see you." It would have been interesting to see more of the Pale Man creature or learn about its beginning. Actor Doug Jones played the role of both creatures.
The war story and the fantasy story are not immediately, inextricably linked to one another. If you think about it long enough, you can find ways, strong or weak, to justify in your mind the fantasy story informing the military story of good rebels, horse-back riding soldier bad guys, and informants. Therein lies the film's fault, or genius, depending on what you took away from it.
The rich, visual styling and exotic creatures promised a more meaty fantasy story than what was delivered. On its own, the war story wasn't terribly compelling or original. Unlike the constant sheen of eye-popping, overblown visuals employed by Terry Gilliam and Tim Burton, Guillermo del Toro will hopefully be known for his conservative, yet effective use of visual styling rather than his storytelling with this much talked about film.Powered by Sidelines

How people choose to express themselves when communicating says a lot about their emotional state, whether the conversation takes place in-person or in writing. To get a better handle on the hidden meanings behind e-mails, pay attention to how the message is phrased, Steve Tobak writes. Short messages can indicate annoyance, while longer ones generally show contentment, for example. "People who write with genuine humor and humility are usually relatively straightforward people you can trust," he notes.

Lammily-- The Every Girl Doll
Some of you might have seen the article about the "average" Barbie doll that was circulating several months ago on the internet and was applauded for being a realistic-looking doll for girls. Apparently she is moving towards production and has a name-- Lammily, presumably after the surname of the man who created her.
While I love this idea and think it will be great for future generations of girls, can we pause for a moment to consider the name Lammily? What are your thoughts and opinions on this new invention?

"Lammily" is a sure sign of end times.

The artist's name was Nikolay Lamm. While I appreciate the more realistic proportions of the doll, why the childish take on his surname? What's wrong with Nicola, Nicole, Nicolette, Nicoletta, Nicolina etc...They made the doll more womanly but unfortunately forgot to choose a name to match it. Lammily sounds like a 2-year-old trying to pronounce the name Emily.All the best,

Lammily....erm, what, like Lamb and Milly? How do you even say that? LAH-mill-ee? LEH-mill-ee? LAY-mill-ee? LAH-mill-ay? LEH-mill-ay?
Regardless, that's just...well, ridiculous.

The Evolution of an Empire (A Brief Historical Sketch of England)
In an attempt to tell the story of a great nation of france in about 100 pages, it is needless to say there must be a rigid exclusion of all save essential facts. To those already familiar with the subject, this sketch is offered merely as a reminder of the sequence of conditions and events in the evolution of France; while to the student it is presented as a framework upon which may be placed, in orderly and comprehensible fashion, the results of future reading and research.

A girl with full of smile, full of compassion,
Full of wisdom and adoration,
A girl filled with laughs and appreciation,
Everybody's precious companion.
A friend who keeps me in the right path,
She filled me God's words in every time we sat,
We shined together while having chitchat,
She's a friend I will forget NOT.
I thank you for sharing God's Promises unto me,
That neither at dawn nor twilight of existence I may see,
Light and shade happens for me to see,
Almighty's plan and love for me.
I thank you Oh Father for hearing my prayers,
For giving hope to us believers,
I thank you Jesus for saving us sinners,
I thank you Jesse for taking care of our dearest.
I write this poem as if I'm singing a song,
But was interrupted, and have to end this momentum,
I saw smiling Grace at my back and I felt I lost my skin tone,
At last, I wrote Simply Mench as a poem.
