Keys and I have always had a complicated relationship. I grew up in a small town and my folks grew up in an even smaller town. I don't know about no one ever locking their doors, but we rarely did. Keys were a thing grown-ups did. I rarely locked the house I raised my daughter in. I rarely lock my car. But I love the look and sound of keys, especially old ones. I have trouble throwing them away, even if the building or car they open doesn't exist anymore.
They still signal doing grown up right
The problem with keys is they don't follow me everywhere like a besotted puppy. They stay behind – usually right where I left them, dammit—instead of being where I need them. I have become adept at breaking (or weaseling) my way into places – apartments, theaters, churches, schools – without my keys. I have climbed piles of old tires, boosted myself off car hoods, dropped to basement floors, jimmied locks and woken caretakers.
But keys and I had a particularly rough morning today.

All Animals That Are Not White Men
Claude Lévi-Strauss observed, "cooking food is a metaphor for the human transformation of nature into culture." Cooking is the thing that separates us from other animals, but it can also be the thing that brings us together. Cooking and its relationship to domestication and the taming of the wild initiate our long history of manipulating the natural world to suit our desires.
Domestication is a process of changing plants or animals to make them more useful to humans. The domestication of nature through taming or training is an effort to produce desired traits: beauty, behavior, or appearance. It can cultivate a population of organisms that may become dependent and lose their ability to survive in the wild. Domestication refers to a whole population; taming may involve just an individual. Cooking is just one example of taking organic material and transforming it into a cultural product. The act of harnessing nature and turning it into something aesthetically pleasing is as common as topiary, ornamental gardens, elaborate confectionery, and the training of horses or other "animals." The idea of being close to nature is very seductive to us. We are drawn to the exoticism of the other, the wildness, the unknown, and chaos. Perhaps this explains our need to tame wildness. However, while we want to commune with it, we do not want to be subject to its whim.
According to eco-feminist and scholar Caroline Merchant, this taming of "the chaos of nature into order destroyed a great deal of the earth's cultural and biotic diversity." Of course, we later tried to repair the situation by creating the great parks and conservation projects of the nineteenth century, "but these movements ostracized those 'others' of different classes and colors that did not fit into the story."
Wittgenstein wrote "if a lion could talk we could not understand him," perhaps implying that we do not have the ability to comprehend the alternate universe that exists in the mind of a nonhuman animal (Other, stranger). I have found in the years spent working with wild animals that the only certainty is uncertainty. Without fail, the animals subverted every plan I had for them. I try to remain aware of my anthropomorphic assumptions, but I think these experiences have made me realize that our language is indeed very different, and it is worth engaging and learning to embrace the chaos of plans gone awry. Especially since increasingly we share the same spaces and need to start to relinquish our territoriality.
I, myself, am drawn to the allure of taming nature by way of flour, sugar, and eggs into cake. I am fascinated by the vast number of cookbooks and recipes dating back to the ancient Egyptians for performing this task. While I am working in the kitchen to make food for all the animals I feed, we are surveying each other from a distance, wondering who is taming whom.

Suddenly, we see someone with a myna bird on his shoulders. Or he has an opossum on a leash and is leading it along the sidewalk, in summer, in the middle of an autumnal city and proud of his captive friend. Or perhaps a man walks by us with a boa constrictor around his neck and limply dangling over his upper arms. We are surprised. What are pets, and what animals can become our pets? A question mark hangs somewhere in the back of our heads.

Here is a simple way to make a Taco Salad using a Taco Kit. Sometimes you need something quick for busy days. This is one of my favorite and simple ways to make sure I am getting protein and carbs during lunch. Easy Taco Salad is the perfect lunch for busy days.
Prepare the taco meat and taco shells according to the directions on your package. Then shred some lettuce and place on your plate or bowl. Then take 2 taco shells and crumble on top of the lettuce. Next add your taco meat and cheese. You can also add sour cream, tomatoes, salsa or your favorite toppings and then ENJOY!
This is a great way for me to enjoy a Taco Salad while making tacos for my boys!
You can use any taco kit. I used Old El Paso because it is what I had in my stockpile that I had used coupons to buy.

- 1 How to pay NJ MVC License expense?
- 2 NJ MVC License Parking Violation
- 3 Tickets on Plates that were once yours
- 4 NJ MVC License Penalties and Fines
- 5 How do these points influence you?
- 6 Frequently Asked Questions
All your queries related to the NJ MVC License and Registration Renewal in the state of New Jersey are mentioned here.
If you want to reclaim any permit under the aegis of the state law of New Jersey (N.J.S.A. 39:3-10a), then you need to pay a charge of $100. The same goes with any enlistment that was renounced or suspended in accord with any law. This amount, however, does not include any charges that are added in case of liquor-related suspensions.
How to pay NJ MVC License expense?
- Easy, through web. You can now pay the fees $100 through internet. To facilitate this exchange, the Motor Vehicle Commission has postponed the online comfort charge.
- Else, you can go to the nearest Full-Service engine vehicle office and pay face-to-face.
- There is a third option too, there is always a third option. You can send a cheque or cash arrange payable to NJMVC, with the base bit of suspension notice to:New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission
P.O. Box 140
Trenton, NJ 08650-0140
- If the base bit of suspension is missing then you are to send the cheque or cash to the following location:
New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission
P.O. Box 134
Trenton, NJ 08650-0134
Please do attach your driver's permit on all the installments.
It is the obligation of the driver to submit the verification of the instalment of all the extraordinary fines or tickets to the NJ MVC License Renewal.
Once you mention the explanation of the suspension, completed the suspension period and paid the required fine then you will get a Notice of Restoration via the post office.
In case the permit terminated then you have to follow the similar steps for recharging the standard permit to procure another one.
If reclamation is issued after suspension for tireless violator then a compulsory one year probation period is activated, after the completion of Probationary Improvement Program (PIP) or Probationary Driver Program (PDP) or MVC can also issue an official cautioning.
In case of an infringement during the probation or cautioning period, the suspension term is applicable as follows:
|First violation in one year
|Within 6 months of restoration
|90 days
|Within 7-9 months
|60 days
|Within 10-12 months
|45 days
|For second or subsequent violations
|Within 6 months of restoration
|180 days
|Within 7-9 months
|120 days
|Within 10-12 months
|90 days
NJ MVC License Parking Violation
The Motor Vehicle Commission neither issues stopping tickets nor collects fines on them. All the prevailing suspensions and tickets are issued through New Jersey Civil courts. The MVC only pursues the activities from account suspension to driver history record.
How to pay parking tickets?
1. First things first, follow the guidelines written on the back of the ticket.
2. It depends on you how you want to make the payment, via mail or in the court, face-to-face.
3. In case you have lost your parking ticket, then you need to contact the civil court where your ticket was issued from.
4. As soon as you make the payment, submit the confirmation to MVC.
Tickets on Plates that were once yours
If you get a ticket for a vehicle that isn't yours anymore or a ticket that does not coordinate with your vehicle, then inform about the same to the court as soon as possible. If you follow these steps then MVC can provide you with supporting documentation:
1. Take a duplicate of the ticket from the issuer of the ticket.
2. Write a letter to the Motor Vehicle Commission mentioning that the plates are no more yours or does not coordinate with the vehicle you own and explain the case.
3. In the letter, mention the details such as the tag number that was ticketed, your driver's permit number, and the number on your new plate and your location.
4. In case you surrendered the old plates and you still have the receipt, then do attach that receipt with the letter.
5. The letter, the request and the duplicate of the receipt should be sent to:
New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission
Client Advocacy Office
P.O. Box 403
Trenton, New Jersey 08666-0403
After finishing the scan of the plate number, the Motor Vehicle Commission will reply to your letter with the result. Just in case any complexity arises in the future, keep a copy of that letter with you.
NJ MVC License Penalties and Fines
Driving is a benefit, not a basic human right, or any other right for that matter. Your driving benefits are deemed to be suspended or disavowed in case of any damage to movement laws. MVC has a point framework to decide your terms of punishments.
If in case of event of moving infringement, MVC adds focuses to your driving record. You get focuses only in the case of moving infringement and they are not evaluated for stopping and other non-moving infringement.
How do these points influence you?
1. Within three years of your driving record, if you have at least six points then you will have to pay an extra charge.
2. Your driver's permit will be suspended if the number of points increases to 12. The notice of suspension will be mailed to you.
3. The protection rates can expand your protection rates by the points on your permit. For more information, contact your protection transporter.
How can you dispose NJ MVC License points off your record?
MVC keeps a perpetual record of all the focuses on your record, in spite of this, you can dispose focuses off your record by either residual infringement sans suspension which ususally lasts for one year, or you can also take a qualified driving course, recognized by Motor Vehicle Commission.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Where can I find information about the system of courts in New Jersey?
A. Visit NJMCDirect, it tells you everything there is to know about the New Jersey judiciary branch.
Q. What is the speed limit in New Jersey?

Oh My Quotes – 10 Quotes I've Loved Over The Years

|Eulophia streptopetala?
This rather stunning Eulophia is currently flowering at home in Hermanus. All my Eulophias have done particularly well. One thing is puzzling though. Last year this same plant produced flowers that looked more like those of Eulophia parvilora... so much so that since I bought this plant (also labelled as E. parviflora, but not in flower at that time), I thought it actually WAS E. parviflora! I am certainly not disappointed and I will be taking this plant for viewing at the plant table at next Thursday's Walker Bay Orchid Society meeting for some general interest and feedback. It looks more like E. streptopetala though doesn't it? Your thoughts are always welcome.
I will take my camera through to the meeting next week to report back on what else is brought to the plant table. I am looking forward to the meeting. It will be my first.
|Close-up of single flower
The follow-up:
Well, today was the day to go to the Walker Bay Orchid Society meeting not last week and not Thursday! Thanks to Patrick Donnelly of the society I made it today! I'm afraid I left my camera behind but I was most impressed with the quality of the plants at the plant table. One in particular stood out for me from all the rest - a beautiful specimen of Vanda bensonii. Check the link (click on the name) for pics on the net. One thing is striking though, the flowers are powerfully scented but pleasantly so. I could smell the flowers sitting some 5 or 6 metres away from the plant. I took the Eulophia along.

On a successful critical hit against a creature of up to one size category larger than itself, the razor boar's gore attack severs the opponent's head (if it has one) from its body. Though some creatures, such as golems and undead other than vampires, are not affected by the loss of their heads, most creatures die when their heads are cut off.
Environment temperate or warm forests or mountains
Organization solitary
Treasure none
A razor boar attacks intruders on its territory without provocation or warning. If attacking more than one target, it tramples one and slashes the other with its tusks and fore-hooves. The creature is swift for its size, and the thickness of its hide allows it to shrug off many lows. Razor boars have been known to recover from seemingly mortal wounds, track down their attackers, and exact revenge.

I don't like having to review bad books. I really don't like reading them, but reviewing them just adds to an already unpleasant experience, especially when the publisher (in this case Penguin) was nice enough to send me a review copy. But I just can't say something is good when it isn't. Dark Slayer is not good.
The problem isn't with the story--a fairly standard fantasy/paranormal romance. Traumatized pair Ivory and her newfound "lifemate" Razvan team up to overcome their painful pasts while fighting the ultimate evil. Good triumphs and the heroes find redemption, but evil still lurks waiting to rear its ugly head once again (in the next book, of course). Nothing earth-shattering, but it could have been a decent literary distraction.
So what's the problem? Or, I should say, problems?
- Note to all writers of vampire fiction: There is only one Slayer and her name is Buffy Summers (Faith, Kendra, and Fray also count but, as you may have noticed, they're all from the Buffyverse). Calling any other characters "The Slayer" only brings Buffy to mind and makes you seem really unimaginative. Just accept it and use a thesaurus.
- With all the repetition in Dark Slayer, it probably could have been cut in half with no detriment whatsoever. I blame this one on the editor. Same goes for all the typos and grammatical errors.
- Writing 101: Show, don't tell. Exposition = bad. Endless exposition = really bad--and boring...and lazy... (The truly depressing part is that apparently Christine Feehan is a bestselling author. Why do people want to buy and read dreck when there are so many good books out there?)
- Worse than the exposition is the poetry. Dark Slayer is full of magical chants that were just painful to read. There is no excuse for lines like this:
I call to thee, Mother, who once held me tight,
Healing me whole so that I might continue the fight.
Healing me whole so that I might continue the fight.
- Sexual Content Ahead: use your discretion. If life were fair all romance writers would have to take an extensive course in writing sex scenes. In the meantime, here's a few tips: (1) sex scenes should not gross out your readers "womb clenching," among other things mentioned, just sounds unpleasant; (2) if you must use euphemisms, at least go for ones that won't cause readers to roll their eyes-- "feminine channel"--really?; (3) lose the fetish for deflowering virgins; (4) at least have a grasp of anatomy--not only is it impossible for a man to penetrate "so deep he pierced her womb," but if that ever actually did happen it would be horrifying and excruciating. Not exactly sexy; (5) try to be consistent--how can you have flowery euphemisms next to words like clit? With all the womb clenching in her exotic feminine core as he invades her, I couldn't help alternating between laughter and revulsion, which I have to assume is not the effect the author was going for.
There were plenty of other problems with Dark Slayer that I didn't mention, but I think you get the idea. We've all got limited time for reading--why waste it on something less than brilliant? Although I wish it did, Dark Slayer just doesn't make the cut.
Fang Files
Carpathians vs Vampires: Although similar in a lot of ways, vampires and Carpathians are not the same.
Carpathians: Humans who are "turned" (not explained in this book). They live for centuries, are extremely difficult to kill, burned by sunlight, and need to drink blood.
Vampires: Carpathians who are turned, live forever, are extremely difficult to kill, burned by sunlight, and need to drink blood. But apparently they're foul creatures of pure evil.
Both groups heal quickly, shift forms (to animal, vapor, or simply a different appearance), can call down/control lightning, and are super strong. Carpathians also have magical abilities and are strongly connected to the earth. Vampires have acid blood, are toxic to the earth and infect with their bite. Only vampires are affected by holy objects.
Ivory, upon realizing that Razvan is her lifemate: She raised her face to the heavens, letting the snow cover it like a white mask. "Why now?" she asked softly. A plea. A prayer. "Why are you asking this of me now? Don't you think you've taken enough from me?" She stood waiting for an answer. Lightning to strike, maybe. Something. Anything. Her whispered entreaty was met with implacable silence.
Dark Slayer (part of the Carpathian series) by Christine Feehan. Also available as an e-book. From Penguin (Berkley).

She's my go to for hair and make up!
I've had Lindsay do my hair and make up on a number of occasions; she has styled me for a few photo shoots and most recently, a wedding. Her hair and make up skills are amazing! She is versatile and always up to date on the latest styles and techniques. Not only is she highly skilled at her craft, but she is a delight to work with, mobile and affordable. I will definitely be using her services again in the future.Sent on 08/09/2018

Bridal Hair and Makeup
I came to Lindsay after having a not-so-great trial with a different hair and makeup team. Lindsay was super accommodating even though my request was a bit last minute. She took the time to understand what I wanted, but at the same time she used her knowledge and expertise to just do what would look best. This is key, because I'm not a huge hair and makeup person and don't always know what may be best or look best. The trial she did multiple styles so I got to choose which I liked best when I was unsure at first. The wedding day myself, the two moms, my bridesmaids and flower girl all had hair and makeup done. Everyone looked great in my opinion. My only thing, is I had forgotten to tell her about my veil, so she had left before I was ready to put that in.Sent on 25/08/2018

ROCKFORD, Ill.- The Rockford University volleyball team returned to action tonight to take on Mount Mary University. Rockford had just lost a heartbreaking match in five sets to Beloit College Tuesday night. Rockford was searching for their first victory of the year and they earned it tonight. The Regents swept the Blue Angels 3-0, by the finals of 25-18, 25-16, and 25-15.
In the first set Rockford took it to Mount Mary, taking a commanding lead and not relinquishing it. They ended up winning by the final of 25-18. The Regents totaled 9 kills on 33 attempts with a hitting percentage of .091. Rockford got stronger as the match went on, again, taking a huge lead and coasting to the victory in the second game. The team tallied 8 kills on 37 attempts and a .108 hitting percentage in the second set. The Regents jumped out to yet another giant lead in the third set and won by the final of 25-15. Rockford totaled 13 kills on 33 attempts for a .273 hitting percentage. The team easily played their best volleyball of the match in the third set to close out Mount Mary.
Leading the Regents on the night were senior Liberty Hartman (Freeport, Ill.) who had a team-high 10 kills, 4 block assists, 7 digs and 1 service ace. Senior Taylor Rossi (Ingleside, Ill.) recorded a match-high 22 assists and 15 digs for a double-double. She also tallied 4 kills and 3 service aces. Sophomore Alex Storey (Dexter, Mich.) added 8 kills and 8 digs. Freshmen Kayla Barthels (Fort Worth, Texas) and August Guest (Lahaina, Hawaii) both added 8 digs.
The Rockford University volleyball team returns to action Friday, September 30 to take on Benedictine University at the Seaver Center with a scheduled start time of 7 p.m.

Still recovering from my last cycle, thank you for the prayers! This upcoming week is an important one. I am scheduled for a CT scan on Tuesday, and then we are meeting with my surgical oncologist — Dr. Billingsley — and medical oncologist — Dr. Christopher Ryan — on Wedneseday (to find out the results). This could be it, in other words I could be having surgery within a couple of weeks; please pray it's time for that (this chemo is beating me up at this point — although I'm doing relatively well). Please pray that it has shrunk alot, so that there will "clean margins" when they take the tumor out (i.e. that they have no problems removing the whole tumor and are able to remove all the surrounding/suspect tissue where the tumor has been growing — this is important). Also I am hoping to avoid losing my right kidney, which if the tumor shrunk enough I think we'll be able to achieve.
Anyway, please pray all goes well this week (I really want the surgery); I potentially could be "cancer-free" in a couple of weeks, the second that last snip of the tumor takes place. My belief, from the LORD, really, is that once the cancer is gone, it's gone! Once they take it out there will be a recovery time of about 6 weeks (before I'm fully recovered from the surgery); at which point (if not a little sooner) they will resume a few more cycles of chemo. We certainly need your continued prayers, this is definitely a trial; and it's a season of life I'm/we're ready to be done with. Thank you everyone so much for how you all have been sticking with us in prayer and with other support; I know looking back this will be an unforgettable season of life that you all will intimately be related to!!!

WASHINGTON – The Obama administration stands ready to offer "any type of assistance" to Libyans seeking to oust Moammar Gadhafi, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Sunday, adding a warning to other African nations not to let mercenaries go to the aid of the longtime dictator.
3rd Marines MEF, I believe she may have you in mind.
Wow! Reagan should have done this after the Berlin Discotheque bombing. So is Obama going to take on Libya and Saharan countries?
Let's hope not. The last thing we need is to increase the deficit even further by spending more billions of dollars on wars abroad. It's time to let some other countries act as the world's policeman.
Sure, it gives some folks a cheap macho thrill, but we really cannot afford it any more. The irony is that the same people who are anxious to see our children maimed and killed on foreign shores are the first to scream that we have to cut education, health care and all other social services.
Yes I hope the macho posturing that is presently being done will be enough. I suspect we are considering more covert operations as well.
....but given the language of the discourse, the US is clearly saying "we are ready".
Over the weekend, an opposition leader to Gadhafi has "emerged" and been given press coverage. The next logical step is that we will likely use any statement from him (even one remotely resembling "I wish my forces were stronger") as justification to send in the Marines.
Even Al Jazeera seems on board with an outside force coming to their aid, and is painting Gadhafi as a dictator whose time should be over.
I can't imagine the Marines want another long term occupation, and are trying to influence the terms under which they would be used.
I believe the 3rd Marines specializes in engagements that last less than 90 days. ....they remain available; they are not deployed in Iraq or Afghanistan. They are likely the forced being referenced by Ms. Clinton as being "ready to assist any way needed".
....isn't dependence on foreign oil wonderful?
Following votes authorizing military action by the UN and the Arab League, the US and other countries have now begun military interventions in support of the protest groups that wish to overthrow Gadhafi.
AP - The U.S. fired more than 100 cruise missiles from the sea while French fighter jets targeted Moammar Gadhafi's forces from the air on Saturday, launching the broadest international military effort since the Iraq war in support of an uprising that had seemed on the verge of defeat.
Where was the intervention and no-fly lobby when 10,000's were dying in a completely one-sided slaughter in Darfur?
Oh right, only people killed by Gadaffi matter.
Western intervention keeps failing, but it's TOTALLY gonna work this time.
Marine anti-terrorism team dispatched to Libya after diplomats killed

WASHINGTON — A Marine anti-terrorism team based in Rota, Spain, is on the ground in Tripoli to beef up security at the U.S. Embassy in Libya after the killings of U.S. diplomats in Benghazi, officials said Wednesday.
The team is known as a Fleet Antiterrorism Support Team, or FAST team, and includes about 50 Marines trained in crisis response operations. Such teams were previously dispatched to Liberia in 2003 and Haiti in 2004 when conflicts in those nations threatened U.S. citizens.
"The mission of this team is to secure the diplomatic facility in Tripoli, our embassy, and protect U.S. citizens as needed," a senior administration official speaking on the condition of anonymity said Wednesday.
The Defense Department will also help evacuate wounded and killed personnel to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, Germany, the official said.
The U.S. ambassador to Libya, J. Christopher Stevens, died Tuesday under uncertain circumstances during an attack by militants on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi. According to a second senior administration official, he either left or was taken from the burning consulate to a Benghazi hospital, and his body was later delivered to U.S. personnel at Benghazi Airport as they evacuated the city.
Also Tuesday, a mob attacked the U.S. Embassy in Egypt and burned the U.S. flag there. Both attacks reportedly were carried out during protests over a film, originating in the U.S. and portions of which were posted on YouTube, that mocked Islam and the Prophet Muhammad.
According to the first senior official, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin Dempsey on Wednesday called Terry Jones, a Quran-burning Florida pastor who sparked riots in the Middle East in 2010 and 2011, to persuade him to disavow the film, which Jones has been promoting. But Jones was noncommittal, the official said.
Additionally, the U.S. was sending surveillance drones to Benghazi and elsewhere in eastern Libya to monitor for signs of terrorist activity, and hand over intelligence from the flights to the Libyan authorities to take action, according to a report by CNN, citing a senior U.S. official.
No U.S. servicemembers were stationed at the Benghazi consulate when militants gained access to the compound and began a several-hour-long nighttime battle¸ the second senior administration official said. U.S. diplomatic security forces, working with Libyan troops, finally regained control of the compound, the official said.

Forget everything you've read about the V1 because the V2 is a new start and it's a very different camera indeed. In fact, it's good enough to go straight into our list of desirable compact system cameras. That's quite a turnaround.
Nikon has done surprisingly well with its '1-series' compact interchangeable lens camera system, but it's been no thanks to the V1. All the hard yards were done by the J1 which managed to strike a near-perfect balance between size, styling and capabilities. No wonder Nikon has been quick to replicate this particular formula with the subsequent J2, J3 and S1 models.
The V1, on the other hand, was a bit of a mongrel that ended up being savaged by reviewers the world over. As is so often the case in this era of global media, there was a fair amount of jumping on the bandwagon as far as bashing the V1 was concerned and not all of it was justified. So, it certainly wasn't pretty and the design was deeply flawed in terms of packaging enthusiast-level features in a camera with a 'photography for dummies' user interface, but there were some good bits… the hybrid AF system (now everybody is doing it), the electronic viewfinder, the superfast shooting speeds and the better-than-expected performance of Nikon's small 'CX' format sensor. These are the bits that Nikon has kept, everything else has been dumped and the result is a total transformation. Consequently, the V2 is not an updated, improved and/or revised V1… it's an all-new camera and very much represents 'take two' in terms of Nikon's idea of an enthusiast-level compact system camera (CSC).NIKON V2 $1099*

Ethiopia, who won the men's race five times and women's race three times, won the 2008 International Chiba Ekiden in 2:05:27. It was a course record for the mixed gender race, which was inaugurated last year.
13 teams from 11 countries contested the 20th edition of the Ekiden which was contested today, a national holiday. Since last year, the race which is contested over six stages totaling the marathon distance of 42.195Km, has been run as a mixed gender race. The first 5Km stage, third 10Km stage, and fifth 10Km stage are reserved as men's stages, while 5Km second stage, 5Km fourth stage and 7.195Km sixth and final stage are reserved for women.
Ali Abdosh of Ethiopia surged ahead half way into the first stage, but the team dropped to second during the last part of the second stage. However, Dejene Gebremeskel took over the lead for good half-way into the third stage and Ethiopians never looked back, thus bringing their first victory in the mixed gender format Ekiden. The young (all under 22) Ethiopian team recorded the bests in four of the six stages. The host nation's team, who briefly took the lead in the second stage with Yuriko Kobayashi, finished second, one minute and 12sec behind. The Russian squad finished third while the Japanese Collegiate team was fourth. They were followed by Australia, Chiba, Great Britain and USA.
Mainly due to cold rain, weather condition was far from perfect. "It was not an easy race. My leg felt heavy because of cold rain," said Sule Utura, who ran the second stage for Ethiopia. She is a bronze medallist at 3000m from the 2007 World Youth Championships and a gold medallist at 5000m from the 2008 World Junior Championships.
Cold rain also bothered Dejane Gebremeskel, who gave his team a 23 second lead at the end of stage three. "I could not run my best race partly because it was quite cold, but I felt my responsibility as a member of national team," said Dejane, a World Junior bronze medalist at 5000m.
"It was my first Ekiden. I am very happy to win," said Tsega Gelaw, who anchored the Ethiopian team.
The host nation's team also consisted of up-and-coming promising runners. Yusei Nakao, who was fifth in last month's World Half Marathon championships said, "I think I have learned a lot by running the World Half marathon championships. If I had not run in Rio, I would be scared to run against Ethiopians. But today I was able to challenge Ethiopians head on."
Yuriko Kobayashi, a medalist at both the World Youth as well as World Junior championships recorded a stage best in the second stage. "I found out that I was running against the World Junior gold medallist. Since she was just ahead of me when I took over, it was a great opportunity to challenge her. I am happy that I was able to run good last 1000m, which I think is very important."
On the other hand Mizuno Nasukawa, who anchored the Japanese team said, "I could see the runner ahead of me, but I could not close the gap. We could not defend the title this year, but I hope we can win again next year."
How the race unfolded:
Stage 1
The race started under cloudy skies, but soon after the start of the race, the rain started as predicted. The first crucial moment of the race came soon after halfway into the first stage, when Ali Abdosh of Ethiopia started to push the pace. Only Yusei Nakao of Japan and Scott Overall of Great Britain tried to stay close. Abdosh was the fastest in the stage with 13:34, followed by Nakao seven seconds behind. Incidentally Yusei's father was the first Japanese to crack the 2:20 marathon barrier.
Stage 2
With Sule Utura running the second stage, Ethiopia stayed in the lead for most of the race. At 3.3Km into the stage, Japan's Yuriko Kobayashi caught Utura. But Utura responded immediately and stayed ahead. Kobayashi caught Utura again with 400m to go, but Utura was determined to stay ahead. Finally with 200m to go, Kobayashi who started seven seconds behind Utura finally took over the lead. Kobayashi covered the 5Km second stage in 15:08, the stage best. "Today I saw that I can run 5000m under 15 minutes," she said. Liliya Shobukhova of Russia, a former World indoor record holder at 3000m, was not in form. She was only the seventh fastest of the stage.
Stage 3
After Dejene Gebremeskel of Ethiopia caught Naoki Okamoto of Japan one Km into the stage, the race developed into a two-man battle between the two. Okamoto was ahead first, but then Gebremeskel took over. After 6Km into the third stage, Gebremeskel surged ahead. He slowly built up the gap ahead of Okamoto, and was 23 seconds ahead of the Japanese by the end of the stage. Gebremeskel covered the 10Km in 28:20, a new stage record. They were followed by Australia and Russia.
Stage 4
With the stage best of 15:34 in the 5Km fourth stage, Belaynesh Fikadu increased Ethiopia's lead to one minute and one second and were now in a commanding lead.
Stage 5
With Hunegnaw Mesfin running the 10Km fifth stage, Ethiopia extended its lead over Japan by another nine seconds. "I was hoping to close some gap on Ethiopia but instead I fell further behind," Matsumiya said. At the end Mesfin, who was fourth at 10,000m in the World Junior championships, covered the stage in 28:54 and pulled further ahead of the hosts. Meanwhile four teams – Russia, Australia, Great Britain and the Japan Collegiate select team – were battling for third position. First Great Britain, and then Australia fell off, thus leaving Tomoya Onishi of College team and Anatoly Rybakov of Russia in front. At the end Rybakov edged Onishi by four seconds. Incidentally, both runners have twin brothers who also run.
Stage 6
The defending Olympic Marathon Champion Constantina Dita ran the final stage for Romania, but she was only tenth fastest in the 7.195Km final stage. "Perhaps because it was due to the rain, but I could not run well during the initial descent, Dita said. "I am not a good downhill runner. I like uphill better." Meanwhile although Tsega Gelaw of Ethiopia was behind Maria Konovalova, Tesega won comfortably by one minute and twelve seconds.

With Hollywood still reeling from the very public outing of mega-producer Harvey Weinstein amid allegations of sexual harassment and assault, the spotlight has now begun to shift to others in the community. Many are questioning why Weinstein has been ostracized yet directors like Roman Polanski and Woody Allen are still accepted.
Now, one actor has stepped forward to publically denounce his recent work with Allen, going to extraordinary lengths to make amends.
Actor Griffin Newman has a small role in Allen's new untitled film which is currently in production around New York City and New Jersey.
Over the weekend, Newman sent a long string of tweets explaining how he believes Allen is guilty of sexually abusing his adopted daughter, Dylan Farrow, as she has alleged.
Griffin went on to explain that he believed this before even taking the role but continued anyway as he believed making the film would be a learning experience.
He also stated that his parents were immensely proud of him for working in the film and explains how he has spent years as a struggling actor ignoring his instincts in favor of gaining work experience.
Griffin revealed that he has donated his entire salary from the film to the charity RAINN — the Rape, Abuse, And Incest National Network.
After two days of receiving the kind of hateful vitriol that Twitter has become known for, Griffin announced he would be taking a week-long absence from the social media platform.
It's important to note that Griffin's initial announcement actually came before Allen made his own remarks regarding the Weinstein scandal.
Allen said in an interview with the BBC that the situation was "sad" for everyone involved and hoped that it wouldn't turn into a "witch hunt." Since then, Allen has clarified to specify that he meant that Weinstein himself was a "sad, sick man."

Birmingham [UK], July 11 (ANI): Australia's Mitchell Starc, on Thursday, broke all-time World Cup record as the pacer now has the most number of wickets, 27, in a single edition of a World Cup.
Starc had 26 wickets when he stepped out on the field to play against England in the second semi-final of the premier tournament. After Starc took the wicket of Jonny Bairstow, he surpassed the record of former Australian pacer Glenn Mcgrath, who took 26 wickets in the 2007 edition of the quadrennial tournament.
However, Australia failed to secure their spot in the tournament's final as they faced a humiliating eight-wicket victory against the hosts England.
England bowlers' bundled off all the Australian batsmen on just 223 runs with one over to spare in the inning. The English openers, Jonny Bairstow and Jason Roy, started playing aggressive cricket from the beginning only.
Both formed a 124-run partnership before Starc provided his side with the much-needed breakthrough as he sent Bairstow back to the pavilion in the 18th over. Pat Cummins clinched the wicket of Roy, who played a knock of 85 runs, in the 20th over.
Joe Root and Eoin Morgan then took the field and formed a 79-run partnership to take their side over the line.
England will now face New Zealand in the final of World Cup at Lord's on July 14. (ANI)

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the use of tobacco is the leading preventable cause of death in the US. This is an alarming statistic. If this major killer is preventable, why are people still dying from its effects? Can you smoke CBD oil instead? Smoking CBD is not an adequate replacement for cigarettes, but it still may be able to help.
Many people smoke, yet plenty of them don't want to be smokers. What gives? Nicotine is highly addictive. Because of this, smoking can be a very challenging habit to kick. You can have all the will power in the world, but if your body is dependent on a substance, it can be extremely hard to kick.
As the NIDA says, "It is well documented that most smokers identify tobacco use as harmful and express a desire to reduce or stop using it, and nearly 35 million of them want to quit each year. Unfortunately, more than 85 percent of those who try to quit on their relapse, most within a week."
That is a huge number of people. But there has to be a solution. Previous smokers have proved that it's possible to do.
Current research, however, shows that cannabidiol, or CBD, oil has the potential to turn nicotine addiction on its head. It promises to do this in a safe, effective manner.
How is this possible? Are smokers simply turning to smoking CBD oil instead?
What is CBD Oil?
It is important to note that most people use CBD oil for medicinal purposes, not recreational purposes. It is not psychoactive, like the Delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) compound in cannabis marijuana. This means that CBD oil will not affect your state of mind or get you high.
Furthermore, CBD is normally a byproduct of the hemp plant rather than the usual marijuana plant. Growers breed hemp plants to contain a low amount of THC, if any. They prioritize CBD content in these strains.
Still, CBD can affect your body in a positive way. CBD works by attaching itself to receptors in your body, possibly influencing it to use more of its cannabinoids.
The Endo-Cannabinoid System
The receptors and neurons that make up this system exist in name as the endo cannabinoid system. Scientists recently discovered it. Its presence suggests that humans should intake cannabis in some form or another.
The cannabinoids in cannabis bind to the special receptors in the body found in the endo cannabinoid system. They work together to protect the neurons and nourish the brain's overall health.
Research suggests CBD's positive effects on everything from anxiety management to addiction, with few side effects. Because CBD compounds are similar to chemicals created organically in our own bodies, they may be better integrated into our systems than synthetic drugs.
Harvard researcher Bradley E. Alger says, "With complex actions in our immune system, nervous system, and virtually all of the body's organs, the endocannabinoids are literally a bridge between body and mind. By understanding this system, we begin to see a mechanism that could connect brain activity and states of physical health and disease."
Knowing this, it is not a surprise that CBD has long been a favorite when it comes to use for beneficial purposes. According to Project CBD, Queen Victoria used CBD rich cannabis for menstrual cramps in the 19th century! It may sound unbelievable, but stranger things have happened.
How Can CBD Oil Be Administered?
Users who want to try CBD oil can ingest it in many ways.
Some of these intake methods include using an inhaler, mixing CBD into food or drink products, or taking CBD oil directly from a dropper. Users can even get their CBD in the form of a sublingual spray, which is placed under the tongue so that it can absorb through the salivary glands in the mouth.
CBD is not usually smoked, inhaled, or ingested. Because of this, CBD oil does not pose the same risks as smoking tobacco or other substances. There is nothing burning or turning into a black, noxious fume.
Can You Smoke CBD Oil?
This is a popular question that many smokers ask. Can they just shift the smoking habit to something more healthy? Can you smoke CBD oil? Is it less harmful than smoking cigarettes or tobacco?
While smoking is not an option since CBD oil is not a dry herb or leaf-like other marijuana substances, vaporizing is an option.
Vaporizing CBD oil is a popular method of administering the oil. What makes it popular? Well, it mimics the hand to mouth habit that smokers prefer. They can receive the same subconscious comfort or soothing that smoking provides, only they're not using a cigarette or producing any smoke.
CBD and Bioavailability
Vaporizing also has some benefits over other CBD intake methods. Namely, it helps with bioavailability.
Bioavailability is a fancy name for the amount of a substance that is available for the body's use. When a substance enters the body, its bioavailability is how much of it actually enters the bloodstream and thus the body's circulation. In other words, this is the amount of the substance that is able to have an active effect on the body.
To say it still another way, not all CBD that is consumed will affect the user's body. This is because its bioavailability is only at about 15 percent. CBD is hydrophobic, which means that it is not very water soluble. Because of this, it is hard to keep it in the bloodstream. It is also reduced by the liver upon consumption, before it ever gets a chance to enter the bloodstream. Thus, having enough CBD to actively affect the body can be more difficult than it sounds.
Vaporizing CBD bypasses the liver because it enters the lungs and diffuses directly into the bloodstream. This allows for maximum bioavailability, which is around 50 to 60 percent.
Doing it this way provides potentially beneficial effects while using a smaller amount of CBD product. It is a more effective and efficient way to use CBD oil.
It also brings the effects on much more quickly, as a user does not need to wait for it to pass through the gut to become active.
How Does Vaping CBD Oil Work?
Vaporizers work by heating CBD oil to its vaporization point. This is around 320°F to 356°F, which is much colder than the combustion point at 450°F.
By staying below the combustion point, vaping CBD oil ensures that what is produced is vapor, not smoke. This helps the CBD user to avoid toxins, carbon monoxide, particulates, and other unhealthy problems that smoking introduces.
On the other hand, when smoking a cigarette, the temperature of the burning tobacco can reach up to 900°C or 1652°F. This reaches well beyond the point of combustion! That helps partially explain why smoking is so unhealthy for our lungs and our bodies as a whole.
The CBD Oil and Smoking CBD Study
University College London researchers Celia J.A. Morgan, Ravi K. Das, Alyssa Joye, H. Valerie Curran, and Sunjeev K. Kamboj conducted a study into smoking CBD oil. They set out to measure how CBD via inhaler impacts cigarette consumption for smokers who were desiring to quit.
In the study, 24 smokers divided into two groups. The groups either received inhalers containing CBD oil or a placebo with just ethanol. All participants had to use the inhalers whenever they felt the urge to smoke during a one week period.
The placebo group showed no difference in their habits. However, the group who received CBD oil in their inhalers reduced their cigarette consumption by 40 per cent on average! This has huge and far-reaching implications.
According to the researchers, "This is the first study, as far as we are aware, to demonstrate the impact of CBD on cigarette smoking. The reduction in smoking observed in this study was striking and occurred in the absence of other specific effects, notably on craving. Given the pivotal role of craving in relapse, this is a potentially very encouraging finding, in that participants using the CBD inhaler reduced the number of cigarettes they smoked without increased craving for nicotine."
The study also showed some maintenance of this effect during follow up. This is an encouraging finding. If a switch to CBD oil can cut down on cigarette consumption by providing a healthy alternative, many smokers may finally be able to quit.
Other Studies on CBD and Addiction
Other research showing the effect of CBD usage on addiction is positive. Many different studies all suggest the same thing: CBD may be a great solution for people struggling with addiction.
One study explored how CBD can treat alcohol-induced neurodegeneration. Some consider this to be the main cause of chronic and relapsing alcoholism. According to the study, "Results demonstrate the feasibility of using CBD transdermal delivery systems for the treatment of alcohol-induced neurodegeneration."
Another showed that CBD lowers stimulus cue-induced heroin-seeking behavior. This can help to prevent heroin craving and usage relapse.
The study says that CBD treatment "specifically attenuated heroin-seeking behavior reinstated by exposure to a conditioned stimulus cue. CBD had a protracted effect with significance evident after 24 hours and even two weeks after administration… The findings highlight the unique contributions of distinct cannabis constituents to addiction vulnerability and suggest that CBD may be a potential treatment for heroin craving and relapse."
CBD and Addictive Behaviors
A University of Montreal study reviewing the available preclinical and clinical data on the impact of CBD on addictive behaviors notes:
"A limited number of preclinical studies suggest that CBD may have therapeutic properties on opioid, cocaine, and psychostimulant addiction, and some preliminary data suggest that it may be beneficial in cannabis and tobacco addiction in humans."
The review underscores the importance of continuing to study this area. It notes: "Overall, emerging data remain very limited and are far from being conclusive; well-designed, randomized, controlled trials are necessary at this point to determine whether these properties translate into significant improvements on clinical outcomes in human populations … The dreadful burden of substance-use disorder worldwide, combined with the clear need for new medication in the addiction field, justifies the requirement of further studies to evaluate the potential of CBD as a new intervention for addictive behaviors."
Looking to the Future with CBD Oil
Clearly, there may be a lot of potential for CBD oil and its positive effects on overcoming addiction. This especially includes nicotine addiction and smoking cigarettes.
The University College London study shows that smoking CBD oil can, in fact, help people quit smoking. This can truly change the lives of the high number of smokers who want to quit. The positive effects of quitting smoking begin just 20 minutes after giving up smoking, and they last for years. It is always a good time to quit.
CBD oil may be able to help. If it is able to help even a few people kick their dangerous smoking habit, then it has made a difference in their lives.

I have a windows batch program that asks for a valid HTML color in HEX-notation. (ex. #000000)
Here's the issue: I need the batch program to check that the user has put the '#' in the front of the number. The entered value also must be 7 characters long (#+6 numbers). I tried using a '*' (asterisk), but it didn't for out.
I have now:
if /I "%color%" EQU "#*" goto:color_set
This does not work. It only finishes if the user enters '#*'. This is not what I want. Any help is appreciated
Try this:IF "%color:~0,1%"=="#" GOTO color_set
download GNU grep for windows ,C:\test>echo #000000 |grep -P "^[ \t]*#.{7}" #000000 C:\test>echo %errorlevel% 0
I have assumed that if there are also blanks in front of the "#" character, it is also valid. For that, the batch code Matt supplied will fail.
GhostDog, I want to do this strictly with BATCH. I cannot use external files for this. I'm sure that there is a way to do it in batch, I just haven't gotten it yet. Matt123, this did not quite work. If I enter "#000000" the script does not recognize it. Also, I don't mind if the script passes "# ". I don't need my script to be "full proof" against all idiots.
Thankyou for the help thus far.
What exactly isn't working?
The code I provided will check to see if the first character of the entry is "#" and if it is it will "GOTO color_set".
Post a little bit more of your code, as it might be somewhere else that it craps out.
But ghostdog is right, his is more stable.
Can I put a question here?
Wow... I messed up! "color_set" didn't exist! I checked and it works perfectly. Many, Many thanks to Matt123. Also ghostdog. Thankyou all for helping me. I am very sorry for messing this up!
One more thing...
Using this
Is there any way to check if the last 6 characters are numbers? I already have something that checks the length if it. I just need to make sure numbers are entered.
Well editing computer hope user sidewinders post and incorporating my original post:IF "%color:~0,1%"=="#" ( ECHO %color:~1%|FINDSTR /r "[^0-9]" > nul IF "%ErrorLevel%"=="1" GOTO color_set ) GOTO Start
Can I put a question here?
>> ECHO %color:~1%|FINDSTR /r "[^0-9]"
that will check for anything not numbers, but does not actually check for number of digits. This is more stringent testC:\test>echo 12356| FINDSTR /r "^[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]$" 12356 C:\test>echo 123456| FINDSTR /r "^[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]$"
Ahh, my bad. I never tested it. This will should work though! Thanks ghostdog!IF "%color:~0,1%"=="#" ( ECHO %color:~1%|FINDSTR /r ".*^[a-zA-Z].*" >Nul IF "%ErrorLevel%"=="0" GOTO color_set )
Can I put a question here?
that should beECHO %color:~1%|FINDSTR /r ".*[^a-zA-Z].*"
right ?
and it will pass these situations
1) if the spaces after and before
2) if number of digits are longer than 6.
3) if there are special characters
even though it should not.C:\test>ECHO 123456 |FINDSTR /r ".*[^a-zA-Z].*" 123456 C:\test>ECHO 123456 |FINDSTR /r ".*[^a-zA-Z].*" 123456 C:\test>ECHO 12345677899|FINDSTR /r ".*[^a-zA-Z].*" 12345677899 C:\test>ECHO 12345-|FINDSTR /r ".*[^a-zA-Z].*" 12345-
Yes, you are right. He had stated that he had already figures out a way to check if the entry was 6 digits.
Also, yeah, the escape character was in the wrong spot.
SMTS, use ghostdog's code a few posts above, it does it all.
2-in-a-row! D= guess it's bed time for me.
Can I put a question here?
Edit: Made the script slightly better...
I know I'm barging in here, but Isn't this hex? So are a-f valid numbers?
Here is something I would consider to be "idiot proof", although a little bit longer:
Tested only on xp@echo off :input set color= set /p color=Give me a html color code(#nnnnnn) if not defined color goto input if "%color:"=%"=="" goto input echo "%color:"=%"|findstr /i /r /x /c:"\"#[0-9a-f][0-9a-f][0-9a-f][0-9a-f][0-9a-f][0-9a-f]\"" > nul if errorlevel 1 goto input set color=%color:"=% echo the selected color is: %color% pause
It's case insensitive but that can easily be changed. Also
leading trailing spaces are not accepted...
yes, you are correct. It should be hex.
Anyway, i tested your code. Doesn't seem to work on #999999 for example (if ever there is such a code :) )
Yeah a missed that, then saw a better way to validate anyway and edited my post.
FWIW all that was wrong is that I missed "789" from my delims(now not even part of the script)....
Thank you guys so much for all the help! It is much appreciated.

Sabbe sankhara anicca'ti yada pannaya passati
Atha nibbindati dukkhe esa maggo visuddhiya.[277]
All conditioned things are impermanent1.
When one sees this in wisdom, thenone becomes dispassionate towards the painful2.
This is the Path to Purity. [277]
A group of bhikkhus, after receiving their subject of meditation from the Buddha, went into the forest to practise meditation, but they made little progress. So, they returned to the Buddha to ask for another subject of meditation which would suit them better. On reflection, the Buddha found that these bhikkhus had developed meditation on impermanence during the time of Kassapa Buddha. So he said, 'Bhikkhus,all component things* are impermanent.'
- Sankharais a multi-significant term. Here it is used in the sense of things conditioned by causes. SupramundaneNibbanais not included insankharaas it is not conditioned by any cause. It is causeless and timeless.
- Suffering caused by attending to the five Aggregates.
*All component things, whether animate or inanimate are subject to the universal law of impermanency, unsatisfactoriness and unsubstantiality. No supernatural powers of God can change or stop this phenomenon. All our problems and unhappiness are rooted in our attachment towards momentary feelings or objects and uncertainty in everything. The conflict between our craving and impermanency creates unsatisfactoriness or physical or mental suffering. Those who can concentrate on this universal law can gain inner peace and contentment in life.
