What's the point of talking? All over the world, people do little else. They are forever expressing themselves, sharing what's in their hearts and on their minds. What's amazing, given how much talking takes place, is how little understanding there ever seems to be. But it's not so hard to figure out why this is. Everybody's talking but nobody is listening. The next few days bring the chance to hold a crucial conversation. Make sure you put some effort into the difficult part as well as the easy bit. Remember to pay attention. In your love life: 'But what if?' A question like that is a kind of terrifying virus... usually. But now you have the answer.
They say, 'It's not what you know, it's who you know that counts.' But who are these people? Do you know them? I certainly don't. So, these people who say, 'who you know makes a difference,' are known neither to you nor to me! And as they don't know us, they are clearly not going to use their influence on our behalf. This week, it really doesn't matter who you know, it's what you know that matters. It just so happens that you now know something very valuable. Use your knowledge wisely and with sensitivity. In your love life: A coming wave of change in your emotional life brings the power you have crave. Expect change for the better.
You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time. But you can't fool all of the people all of the time.' That's a wise old saying. Of course, it applies equally well if you substitute the word 'fool' for 'please'. You are not, now, attempting to pull the wool over anyone's eyes. You are, though, very keen to satisfy several mutually exclusive criteria. One person needs you to do precisely what another person needs you not to do. But if you fool someone, will you really be pleasing them? In your love life: Something exceptional is coming. Stop trying to be ordinary and psychologically prepare for a time of innovation.
Should we all touch our forelocks or fall to our knees when you pass by? I'm not suggesting that you have an imperious air; it's just that this is a projection that somehow others are now finding it all too easy to aim at you. Mercury's conjunction to Saturn is causing them to see you as a figure of authority. They find you powerful and strong. This may not be how you see yourself but it is how you are seen. This is not without its potential to confer a great advantage on you this week. As you will discover, if you are clever. In your love life: What has 'gone missing' from your emotional life lately? Begin by looking in the last place you encountered it.
Rest. Relax. Snooze. Cruise. Flop. Drop. Sprawl. Loll. Try to do no more than what you have to. If possible, try to do less than that! Be lazy, listless, idle, lazy, hazy and vague. Stay in bed longer than you should and go there when you shouldn't. Eat too much. Bathe too often. Refuse to worry. Hide everything that's urgent in a cupboard till tomorrow. Forget it. Let it be. No matter how diligent you are, you will only go round in circles. So you may as well let the circles go round on their own! All will be well this week. In your love life: Love and money. You can encourage those elusive elements into your life by manifesting confidence.
Coffee's aroma is nicer than its taste. And then there is cheese. Rich, ripe, pungent Camembert is hardly what you would call an attractive odour but there are many fans of the flavour. You can't judge a book by its cover and you can't always assess a supper by its smell. You fear that if you give the benefit of the doubt too freely, you will be considered weak. Better that, though, than to indulge a regrettable prejudice. Alignments from Mars to Jupiter and Venus to Pluto imply you will profit from an open mind this week. In your love life: Doubt is toxic and can do terrible damage. Rid yourself of yours. Go beyond fear, blame and judgement.
Some pictures are easy on the eye. They do not stretch the intellect or oblige the viewer to think. They are just simple arrangements of light and shade forming familiar, attractive shapes. It's the same with books or plays and pieces of music. Some are light, some are weighty. We cannot simply conclude that one type is good and the other is bad. We need both or our lives soon become unbalanced. You have lately been going through a challenging time. Don't resent it. Allow it to teach you something valuable this week. In your love life: It is not always good to speak too frankly. Deal with what's real and try not to embroider facts with feelings.
There is something exciting about making a definitive statement. To make an emphatic announcement is to enhance your own sense of security. Somehow, the very act of uttering a knowledgeable statement becomes an anchor in an ever-changing sea of uncertainty. All anchors, though, must sooner or later be raised. Just because something was true once, you can't assume it will remain beyond question forever. A New Moon in your sign suggests a situation is evolving rapidly and old rules no longer apply. In your love life: Feeling guilty? It's all in your mind. You don't have anything to apologise for!
Should you stand up and be counted? Or should you sit down and be counted on? You are not usually the kind of person who meekly accepts the word of an authority at least, not without an argument. There are, though, sensitivities to be considered now. Delicate balances. Finely woven threads. Given a little more time, you may be in a much better position to successfully campaign for the change that is so sorely needed. But you have an impeccable sense of timing that tells you it's not quite the moment yet. In your love life: Your faery helpers are invisible but they not imaginary. Trust yourself. You're winning earthly admirers too.
Some decisions are easy to make. What do you want for breakfast? Toast or cereal? The world isn't likely to change much, regardless of your choice. Who do you want to live the rest of your life with? Do you want to stay in your current employment? Is it time you moved home? Much more hangs on your answers to questions like these. I'm not now suggesting that you need to be pondering such weighty matters. It is more as if you are giving too much weight to something comparatively trivial. Deal with the bigger stuff this week. In your love life: Sometimes, disadvantages conceal blessings. You wish you could alter one key factor. It may be better not to.
How many stars are there in the sky? We don't know, but we are not willing to accept 'countless' for an answer. Instead, we start counting, although we know the task is hopeless. We are even willing to tackle life's more difficult questions such as, 'How long does eternity take?' We are a race of hopeless romantics, impassioned idealists, wide-eyed believers in impossible ideas. Even so-called cynics harbour secret childlike fascinations. Avoid unnecessary angst this week, by refusing to waste time with 'realism'! In your love life: Headaches and stress. You can make them go away if you refuse to play someone else's game.
Another week. Are you any further on down the road? Or just right back where you started? It isn't always easy to tell. We can travel hundreds of miles and be in much the same terrain. Or we can step just a few feet, through a doorway to a different world. Your preferences and priorities will not just shape the next few days, they will influence the rest of your life. Pick the right goals, for the right reasons and there's no reason why you can't, now, make exactly the right progress, but you must be honest. In your love life: Don't worry about unsolvable problems. Focus on the here and now. Learn to love life afresh.

The Internet giant faces yet another tussle with European officials, who want Google to split off its search business.
An update lets the photo cataloging and editing software handle raw files from the Nikon D750, Canon 7D Mark II, Panasonic LX100, and Apple's latest smartphones.

Use of OEM in self-build. Permissable?
Likes # 0
Posted July 16, 2012 at 1:23PM
I appreciate that OEM is intended for system builders, who are selling the end product, but have heard the arguement "I am buiding a system, and MAY sell it, in the future", but presume that's stretching a point. On many things there's not a large price difference, but for some things, like Windows, there's a huge difference between OEM, and retail, prices.
Are there potential issues/ problems, arising from the use of OEM, or is that the resposibility of the seller? On some sites, if you enqire about OEM, you get a stern warning "OEM products are intended ..."

A couple of years ago I went into all this with Microsoft in some detail. At the time I managed to elicit the information that, provided a person was using the OEM licence on a brand new, home-built machine there would not be a problem.
As far as I'm concerned that is still the position, so go ahead. If you ever get a knock on the door from a Microsoft lawyer tell him/her to contact me.

Thanks for that. On one hand I thought someone is hardly likely to come after "littl'ol me", but then firms like Microsoft can be really "hot" on any copywright, or similar, issues.

I've fitted OEMs on several PCs that I've built for family members. Microsoft have even re-activated an OEM on a different PC when I explained the motherboard on the original had developed a fault

Why not? Several companies will happily sell you OEM software with other components. I recall Dabs.com doing it a few years back, in fact I bought a copy of Windows XP Pro for a new-build I was doing

I regularly buy OEM versions of Windows when building PCs for family members / friends. Never had any problems with them.

There's something special about the bond between grandparents and their grandchildren. Some have even said that no cowboy was ever faster on the draw than a grandparent pulling a baby picture out of a wallet.
Perhaps that's the reason both district elementary schools and the middle school were packed with papaws and mammaws as they celebrated Grandparents' Day last week.
"It creates a great atmosphere," said Marsha Duncan, Youth Service Center coordinator whose office sponsored the two-day event at LaRue County Middle School.
Preaching politics from the pulpit is being done more and more by religious preachers. True Christianity is inspired by the apostles' doctrine. Jesus instructed them to preach what they had heard him say. We, by secondary means, are to preach the inspired word from the New Testament. The Holy Spirit inspired men worked hard to make sure it was preserved for all generations.
Congratulations to all the 4-H members who competed at the Kentucky State Fair. Cloverville was filled with 4-H entries from across the state of Kentucky. Projects ranged from sewing to entomology to arts and crafts.
LaRue County 4-H members exhibited a total of 45 projects in Cloverville, as well as 26 rabbit entries. Results are:
Stefan Cowley – Sr. Paper Crafts, Blue; Horticultural Photo Collection, Red; Sr. Jewelry Beadwork, Blue; 3-5 photos same subject, White; Horticultural Single Color Photo, Blue
Benjamin Lope – Brownies, Blue
The 4-H year runs Sept. 1-Aug. 31. It's time for members to submit their 4-H Awards Point System Record Sheets.
Record sheets are simply a record of the 4-H activities or events a member has participated in during the past year. Points are assigned for various events, depending on the level of participation.
Cloverbuds (ages 5-8) are eligible to submit a record form as well in order to receive recognition.
Entire families are becoming fit together as they participate in the Family Resource Centers Family Fitness and Wellness Club.
Abraham Lincoln and Hodgenville Elementaries family resource centers, with added funding from Dow Corning Corporation, are sponsoring the fun-oriented workouts from 6-7 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays at one of three alternating locations – the two schools and First Baptist Church in Hodgenville.
If you haven't already, I would encourage everyone to take notice of our new "Welcome to Hodgenville" signs, they are just so classy and beautiful.
Thanks to Mayor Terry Cruse and the City of Hodgenville for the signs, new banners on the square, lights at Creekfront Park, and the free movies with refreshments.
It is easy to be critical of our leadership, but it should be easier to say thanks.
Thanks, Mayor and the City of Hodgenville, for your time and effort put into making our great city even greater.

The LaRue County School Board voted Aug. 16 to advertise for sealed bids to sell the Magnolia School building and property.
The bid opening will be Nov. 11 and the bid will be awarded at the regular board meeting Nov. 15.
The elementary school closed when it and Buffalo Elementary School were consolidated to form Abraham Lincoln Elementary School in 2006.
On Labor Day, my husband Bud and I drove to Munfordville and Cave City. We didn't have a particular reason – just gauming around, as my dad used to say. (Gaum is a southern term used for "having no particular destination." It may be used also to say "what an awful mess." Some people spell it "gom." Chances are, your dad said it too.)
Anyway, while driving through Munfordville, we noticed a small sign that said "Kentucky Stonehenge." Having no particular reason not to, we decided to follow the arrow.

I write today in support of Mike Hornback for LaRue County Schools Board of Education.
He has consistently put his support of the LaRue County Schools into action. That's the type of school board member LaRue Countians should support. It is easy for people to say that they care about education and our students. There really isn't anyone who would openly say he or she didn't support our public education system. However, saying and doing are entirely different things. That's what sets Mike Hornback apart from the average citizen.

Since 1991, I have defended over 3000 clients in criminal court, including over three hundred trials for felonies and misdemeanors, DWI, drugs, marijuana, assault, white collar, sex-related offenses, and more.
Criminal defense is war, requiring being armed to the teeth, and escalating the proverbial fighting from checking before hurting, hurting before maiming, and maiming before destroying. Criminal defense is also about martial arts, using fearless cunning and strategy over brute force, and drawing from my daily martial arts practice. The stakes are often high, and the battle should be treated as a one-chance-only affair.
My staff and I will be delighted to arrange a time for you to meet with me if you seek a criminal defense or DWI lawyer.

90210 Christmas Episode to Feature Kissing, Controversy, Elvesby Matt Richenthal at . Comments
Over more than two seasons on 90210, Adrianna and Navid have survived a drug problem, a pregnancy, a cheating scandal... and another drug problem.
But the former's breakout career, combined with her diva-like attitude of late, appears to be too much for this couple. Last week, Navid admitted he his feelings for Silver - and, this week, a self-centered holiday party thrown by Adrianna may finally drive her man into the arms of her friend.
"Silver's there for me when Adrianna should be," Michael Steger told TV Guide. "Ade's turned into someone else. It's just too much for Navid to handle, so he's totally disconnecting from the relationship."
Jessica Stroup wouldn't divulge much about her character's future with Navid, but said there's "lots of kissing" this week and some "good stuff" ahead in 2011, including "a little bit of the physical."On tonight's episode (the final one of 2010, previewed HERE), Adrianna will host a shindig that includes an ice-skating rink and elves. But it won't end well for this singer, as Victor exposes her song-stealing secret.
"Just when she thinks everything's going amazing, she realizes that Victor has now turned on her and she's devastated," Jessica Lowndes says.
But let's get back to the personal for a moment. Sound off now, 90210 fans: With whom do you wanna see Navid?
Matt Richenthal is the Editor in Chief of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Twitter and on Google+.Tags: 90210, Interviews, Spoilers
The Silver/Navid story is absolutely rediculous! I love this show, but if I have to watch Navid and Silver make out, I will definitely be turning the channel. Yes, Ade has become annoying with her fame and she really hasn't been a good girl friend. Have Navid break up with her then! It's not a crime for characters to be single every now and again! And I definitely miss Dixon and Silver...they were good together and I actually believed there were feelings there. Navid/Silver is disgusting.
ohw come on! was it just a couple of month when all u guys have to say that theres no villain in the show and how much you miss season 1 ade!!!! well shes here now! you people cant just be content huh?! and really silver over ade?! thats a sick joke!
no matter how bitch ade is becoming cheating on your girl friend with your best friend was a major crime to do! so am with ade side here!
Ive always loved Adrianna and Navid together because I thought their relationship had so much depth. But with who Adrianna has come to be recently, she doesn't deserve him anymore.
LOVE Silver and Navid, they deserve each other. chemistry is there.
Nilver! I love navid and silver together, Stroup and Steger have amazing chemistry. They are just perfect for each other.
Definitely Silver! I cannot wait for them to hit things off. I'm sooo excited. Navid is a nice guy and he doesn't deserve some self-absorbed bitch. Silver is more suited for him. Team Nilver Yeeaaah!
agreeing with @littleangel 11000039585624895%
Silver doesn't deserve Dixon. Hey maybe Dixon and Adrianna? I'd go for that.
Totally Agree with Nikki. I miss Sixon too :'(
Adrianna! They're ruining her for the sake of Nilver! Must end. She was better with Dixon anyway.

Sara Bareilles and Bette Midler at The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Bette Midler and Sara Bareilles came together at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony over the weekend to honor the late Laura Nyro.
Midler, who said she started out as a fan of Nyro's before actually meeting her, gave a rousing speech, mentioning that Nyro embodied the spirit of New York City in the '70s, joking that in that era, NYC was even more of a dump than Cleveland. She admired Nyro's uncompromising spirit, noting, "She embodied what everyone in our line of work could be, if they only had the guts," welling up with tears.
Sara took to the stage to play Nyro's "Stoney End," despite rumors that Midler would perform the Nyro song.
Shortly before her performance, Sara tweeted, "Uh. Carole King wished me luck and was talking me down from my nerves. I'm overwhelmed and so grateful to be here. Wow."
Also, it's ironic that last year, during Midler's speech at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's induction ceremony (for Darlene Love), she quipped that she was doing it so that if anyone ever Googled "Bette Midler" and "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame" there would actually be a result. Her speeches in the last two years, though, would lead one to expect that she'll keep getting invites: even if it is just as a presenter and not as an inductee.
Laura Nyro, who passed away 15 years ago, was a part of this year's list of inductees that also included Donovan, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Beastie Boys, Guns N' Roses and The Faces/Small Faces.

I am trying to locate the Coconut M&Ms in the Bethesda MD area ... any sightings ?
- p
- priusgirl10 Sep 11, 2009 03:40 PM
Has anyone seen these in the Montgomery County area of MD... or the NW DC area ?
re: mmusiker
are the cherry m&ms back? they're great!
haven't had the raspberry.
i've been on the lookout for those for a few months, but think their time has passed. i heard they were really tasty. let us know if you find them, please.
re: alkapal
alkapal, me too. OT or somewhat related, do you know where to find full-size Charleston Chews in the DC area? I was on another thread about candy and someone suggested that you might now. I've bought boxes of mini-Charleston Chews at CVS, but really want the full-size ones to freeze & eat! thanks.
re: Gigi007
gigi, i'll keep an eye out for them. i'm thinking of walgreen's in clarendon, but i'm not sure.
re: alkapal
Thanks, alkapal!
re: Gigi007
I've seen + bought Charlestown Chews at Wegman's Sterling. And I've seen them at Five Below Stores too.
re: Gigi007
if you get desperate, gigi, you can order online: http://www.candy.com/Chocolatey-Charl...
they have vanilla, too.
re: alkapal
LOL, alkapal. I AM pretty desperate. These CH boards have the power to do that..:)
Thanks all for the advice, everyone. I'm in DC, so hope to find CC's in the city or maybe the nearby suburbs... hmm, if I won't travel to get them, I must not be that desperate. :)
P.S. To the OP, you can order the coconut M&M's online (Ebay and elsewhere) too.
re: alkapal
1. I found on the full-size Charleston Chews (vanilla) at the new CVS in the Chevy Chase Pavilion. Yay!
2. Re: coconut M & Ms, the assistant manager of the CVS said they might be able to order them. Apparently, some CVS's have or had them in stock. So, to the OP, talk to the manager of the CVS near you and see if they can order or locate them for you. I was also told that some Target stores had them.
re: Gigi007
gigi, the big charleston chews are on sale 2/$1 (reg. 89¢ each) at cvs through next saturday!
re: alkapal
Thanks, alkapal. I bought 5 yesterday (don't remind the price), and am already almost halfway through my little stash...The ones I got were super-fresh too! I'm a happy camper. :)
re: Gigi007
I would look for full-size Charleston Chews at Dollar Stores.
We found them at the Lewes Happy Harry's and loved them but they sold out in no time at all. I am surprised to read that they can still be found because I have been told again and again they are no longer available anywhere.
re: Jeserf
Thank you, will stand down the hunt.
re: Jeserf
Interesting and odd that there's no coconut on the ingredient list. What do they taste like? I'm guessing a lot like plain M&M's with a hint of coconut?
My favorite coconut-chocolate combinations are coconut patties from Florida (sickeningly sweet, I know, but good with coffee), Mounds & Almond Joy, Bounty, and especially those little coconut haystacks that some fine candy stores sell.
re: Gigi007
I love Bounty and Mounts....these kinda taste like M&Ms that went bad (only not as gross?). Hard to explain.
I don't think they're worth the hunt, to be honest. Now, dark chocolate bounty bars? Yes.
re: Jeserf
Thanks, Jeserf. Based on your description, it doesn't sound like I'm missing anything.
re: Jeserf
Jeserf, I'm sending you a virtual bounty bar. I picked up a bunch of them at World Market yesterday.
re: Gigi007
The Ferraro Rocher coconut candies (in a silver wrapper) are fabulous, but they're only sold in big combo boxes. I don't like the hazelnut or dark chocolate enough to cough up money to get the coconut ones. But if I'm around a combo box that's opened, I fight like a hyena to get as many coconut ones as I can.
Coconujt M&M sighting at the CVS near the Van Ness-UDC metro. You won't find them by the registers by the other candy though. They're in a special M&M display in the center of the bulk candy & Halloween stuff.
Out of curiosity, I bought a package. The chocolate with a tinge of coconut tastes bad IMHO. I gave the rest of the package to a kid in my building, who also deemed it "gross".
i am still looking for these, but recently in florida, i tried the peanut butter and strawberry jelly ones instead (which i didn't know existed). in short: don't go there. they taste like someone's old pbj left out on the schoolyard playground, where the strawberry and peanut butter have melted in the sun.
re: alkapal
alkapal, based on the few coconut m&m's I had recently (see above post), I really don't think you're missing anything unless you like m&m's that taste like they're off--kind of like fake or bad quality chocolate.
re: Gigi007
maybe they're old m&ms, because initial reviews were good. i thought they were a special limited edition that was done in the spring (in conjunction with what, i don't know).
that said, my cherry m&ms still taste terrific! i'm glad i stocked up. i now have to check on my little stash of mint crisp m&ms. if mars were brilliant, they'd do those in red and green for christmas season every year. yum!
re: alkapal
It's hard to know how old they are b/c my local CVS just got them in. Of course, it's a matter of individual taste too. Both Jeserf and I seem to have had the same impression about the coconut M&M's.
Cherry M&M's do sound interesting...
I have never heard of these 'new' M&M flavors; all we have in England is regular and peanut. What textures are the fillings in them? The English version of M&Ms are Smarties. But the Bounty bars are English and I love the dark chocolate ones. We used to have peanut butter Kitkats which I adored but those have gone now in favor of a caramel filled one. I wish we had almond Kisses here too. Do you have Fry's Chocolate Cream bars there? They come in different flavors but I like the plain one best. The filling is a white fondant and goes extremely well with the dark chocolate. From what I have read the British, Canadian and US versions of Cadbury's and other UK chocolate recipes are somewhat different.
re: cathodetube
Cathodetube, The M & M is soft inside. All we had to choose from until recently was regular and peanut but now there are so many choices. My family really enjoys the coconut flavor. I thought they were limited to Easter and Springtime but I have been seeing them in stores again recently. They remind me of a Mounds bar. I like the tiny size of the M & M though and the ability to just grab a few for a sweet treat.
I have never seen the Fry's bars here. They sound good though.
re: Sensuous
If you are still on the lookout for these coconut m&ms, I found some at the gas station near the cash register. I didn't find these anywhere near the dc area, but the candy section at a gas station would be worth a try.
re: alkapal
seeing ads on TV recently, lit ooks like they're making an encore appearance for the Superbowl.
re: weezycom
well alrighty then! i wonder what is the tie-in to the superbowl? the tropical environs of miami?
oooh, looky here, in a press release from mars candy:
""""Starting at the end of [2009], we are excited to roll out various new real chocolate products from our M&M'S®, 3 MUSKETEERS®, MILKY WAY® and TWIX® brands," said Jim Murphy, vice president of Sales, Mars Snackfood US. "From introducing sweet new offerings like 3 MUSKETEERS® Truffle Crisp to bringing back winning limited edition products like TWIX® Java and M&M'S® Coconut, we're providing Americans with additional great options from brands they've known and loved for years to satisfy their chocolate palette."""""
""""Back by popular demand after a limited edition run last summer, M&M'S® Coconut Chocolate Candies will be on shelves again in December. Featuring signature M&M'S® Brand Milk Chocolate, these delicious candies will be available in a special, coconut-only blend of green, brown and white crunchy candy shells.
M&M'S® Wildly Cherry Chocolate Candies will be available in December, with signature M&M'S® Brand Milk Chocolate and rich cherry flavor.
M&M'S® Peanut Butter Chocolate Candies, with a peanut butter creme center, surrounded by signature M&M'S® Brand Milk Chocolate and a colorful, crunchy candy shell, are now available in "Tear 'N Share" size."""""" ibid.
i adore the wild cherry m&ms, and am thrilled to see them becoming a "permanent" addition to the m&ms line.
re: alkapal
I have never been tempted but I will try those wild cherry m&ms now.
re: alkapal
I saw my first bag at the CVS in Del Ray (Alexandria), at the corner of Mt. Vernon and Russell. This was yesterday.
re: hamster
i had found some at blockbuster. meh, no big deal -- not a patch on the "wildly cherry" and mint crisp m&ms...
btw, any spottings of the wildly cherry?
re: stace78
Don't know if you can find the specific candies you are looking for, but the one place I have found that seems to have a treasure trove of the classic candies we grew up with (Necco wafers and Pixie Stix anyone?) is Cracker Barrel. All Cracker Barrels seem to carry a lot of nostalgic items, not just candies. And the price is not bad, especially if you have a craving.
re: bluemikes
Another place to find lots of hard to find candies, including the above mentioned Charleston Chews is World Market. Also the go-to for British candies.
World Market
8125 Wisconsin Ave Ste 1, Bethesda, MD 20814
re: wbsmiles
I found the coconut M&M's at 7-11 yesterday.

Kerry: Gaps Remain in Nuke Talks 11/22 12:57
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry warned of "serious gaps" in talks about a
nuclear deal with Iran, but as Monday's deadline approached his German
counterpart said Tehran and six world powers have "never been closer" to
agreement since they started negotiating more than six years ago.
VIENNA (AP) -- U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry warned of "serious gaps"
in talks about a nuclear deal with Iran, but as Monday's deadline approached
his German counterpart said Tehran and six world powers have "never been
closer" to agreement since they started negotiating more than six years ago.
German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier also said Saturday that both
sides are "still far apart" on certain questions. But he suggested the
differences are bridgeable, declaring that the talks have reached "a moment of
truth." Still, he said, success or failure "is still completely open at this
Steinmeier spoke after arriving in Vienna to join Kerry's efforts to move
the talks forward and shortly before meeting with the chief U.S. diplomat.
High-level comings and goings since Friday also have seen British Foreign
Secretary Philip Hammond and French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius stop by for
talks with Kerry, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and other
participants in the negotiations.
"We're working hard," Kerry said Saturday. "But we ... still have some
serious gaps."
Kerry spoke by telephone on Saturday to Arab foreign ministers in the Gulf,
whose countries fear Iran's potential abilities to make nuclear arms, and with
his Canadian and Turkish counterparts, the U.S. State Department said.
Hopes of progress were briefly boosted Friday, with reports that Zarif
planned to fly to Tehran for additional consultations. That could have meant
possible progress, suggesting that the Iranians need political approval from
Tehran to move forward.
Iranian media initially spoke of a new U.S. initiative that Zarif needed to
have his superiors approve, but the Iranian diplomat dashed those hopes, saying
he was staying in Vienna and had "no remarkable offers and ideas to take to
Asked about the prospects of an agreement while taking an outside cigarette
break from a meeting Saturday, Zarif shouted "Inshallah" ("God willing") in
The United States --- backed by Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany
--- is seeking a deal that cuts, and puts long-term limits on, Iranian nuclear
programs that could be used to make weapons. Iran says it does not want such
arms but is negotiating in the hope of relief from sanctions imposed because of
its nuclear activities.
Kerry and Zarif have both emphasized that there has been no discussion about
extending the talks, if the deadline is not met. However, big differences in
the negotiations increasingly suggest that both sides could agree to continue
talking past Monday.

Published August 27, 2012
How's this for a head turner? A tiny new species of fish from Vietnam sports its genitalia on its noggin.
Phallostethus cuulong is only the 22nd known species of its family, Phallostethidae, all of which bear their copulatory organs just behind their mouths.
As with all Phallostethus—"penis chest" in Greek—species, the male uses its bony "priapium" to clasp a female while he inserts sperm into her urogenital opening, also located on the head, said Lynne Parenti, curator of fishes at the National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C.
Parenti remembers seeing another species of priapiumfish mate at a lab in Singapore. Attached at the head and together forming a v, the fish "looked like a little pair of scissors, darting around the tank together," she said.
For many fish, such as guppies, mating is almost instantaneous, but priapiumfish "actually couple, staying together for a remarkable period of time," she noted.
(See "Weird New Ghostshark Found; Male Has Sex Organ on Head.")
Fish-Head Genitalia Still a Puzzle
P. cuulong, like most members of its family, is less than an inch (2.5 centimeters) long and mostly transparent, according to the study, published July 3 in the journal Zootaxa.
The new species was identified via measurements of nine specimens found during a field survey in shallow river waters in Vietnam's Mekong Basin—just the sort of brackish coastal habitat priapiumfish typically call home.
Such habitats have undergone heavy development in Vietnam in recent decades, but the fish have proved highly resilient and seem to have adapted to modern life. Scientists have even collected priapiumfish "in a ditch on the side of the road," Parenti said.
Partly due to these overlooked and possibly unappealing study sites, the fish "tend to be ignored by a lot of biologists," she said.
Clue to Front-Loaded Genitalia
That may explain why the fish's front-loaded genitalia remains an evolutionary mystery, she added.
There are some clues, though: For one thing, the Phallostethidae family is part of a larger group that includes many species that fertilize their eggs internally. (The vast majority of fish species fertilize their eggs outside the body.)
Many of the males in the family have physical modifications that allow them to internally fertilize females, so it makes sense that priapiumfish would also have evolved an adaptation.
(Watch video: "The World's Weirdest Penis.")
For another thing, head-to-head mating is apparently "a very efficient way to do it," Parenti added. While examining preserved female priapiumfish, she has found oviducts filled with sperm, meaning almost all the eggs had been fertilized.
"There's still a lot more to discover" about Phallostethus, she added—P.cuulong is only third species found in its genus.
"It's a lovely little fish with a very complex anatomy," she said, "and I'm just delighted that we're finding more of them."

This stuff is amazing, the best dry shampoo I've ever come across :-)
I have the original and the Diva version...I much prefer the scent of the Diva version.
The product makes hair look clean and adds volume to the roots...a blow dry lasts an extra day with one spray of the product.
And most of all, it's dirt cheap! Complete bargain, I'm never without it.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is a fantastic dry shampoo. It does exactly what it promises.
For all the ladies in Canada - I get it at Pharmasave. Can't find it anywhere else.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have been wanting to try this product out for AGES! So when I saw this at the store the other day, I jumped at the chance and brought the original scent. First of all, I like that it doesn't leave a white/grey cast in my hair which can be very noticeable considering I have black hair. My hair remains brush-able and still soft and pretty much grease-free after spraying this on my hair. I concentrate this near my roots where the hair tends to get most greasy and brush it out. Absorbs all oil! I am in LOVE with this and recommend this for those looking for a good dry shampoo. Will definitely repurchase!! :)
EDIT - I used a bit too much one day and noticed a slight ashy grey cast in my black hair. So be careful with the amount you use. :)
I have this in Blush and Original. I much prefer the Blush scent. I really like this product. It does what it is supposed to - refresh your hair. It makes it look less greasy and smell pleseant. The price isn't bad - around $7.50 at Sally's Beauty Supply. It isn't a huge bottle though - 150 mL or 5.05 fl. oz.
The only problem I have with this is that my husband has become obsessed with this stuff and won't quit using it! He insists his hair looks better at Batiste than a full wash and dry!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I bought this because I had been wanting to try it out for ages and I suddenly saw it was available in a shop near me so I jumped on the opportunity.
Plus it was actually cheaper than the Klorane one that I bought a few years ago (9 euro for Klorane 5 euro max-depending on the fragrance for Batiste)
You have plenty of choice in the fragrances, I personally tried the Original, Fresh and Tropical ones. I got compliments on all three although I do have my own preferences.
The product in itself is awesome. just shake the bottle and spray it on to your roots. Then brush till the powder isn't visible anymore, you can also tap your roots with the palm of your hand, it helps getting rid of the resisting powder.
Your hair looks clean and smells fresh, and it actually helps with giving a bit of volume to your hair, this stuff fluffs up my bangs and actually tames them quite well.
There isn't a whole lot of product in the bottle, I'd say you can get approximately 3 whole head uses in a can. or a bit more if your scalp is a little less oily or just oils up in certain places more than others.
Overall a great product. I wouldn't be buying the "Tropical" or the "Original" one again as I don't adore the smell but I'll def buy the "Fresh" fragrance one again and I'll be trying the other ones as well because I'm curious :p
Can't wait to try the shimmer ones for a party :)
This shampoo works!
Before having tried Batiste I though dry shampoo was not simply for me. Having really thick hair (kind of like asian in volume but less thick) and oily face skin. I have previously tried Klorane and James Brown and they did nothing. I don't know what punched me to give Batiste a try but I am glad I did. I used to wash my hair every two days as the bangs around my face absorb the oil from the facial skin within 4 hours after having been washed and it starts to look nasty. Now I wash it once in 5-6 days.
So far this is my favourite dry shampoo. I tried the Toni and Guy one but it was harder to brush out and left a strong scent. The scent of Batiste (original) is nothing to be excited about but doesn't stay around too long anyway. I have black hair with violet extensions and I straighten and use the usual array of heat protectors and moisturisers. I normally wash every 3 days, but this lets me get another day between washes and is great for those days when you need to look professional and neat quickly.
I find that it gives quite a lot of volume. I find that as long as I spray in sections and lightly I don't get any grey hue to my hair. The aim is to lightly and evenly mist through the roots and any greasy parts without allowing it to build up in any one area. I find it best to do a second application if needed than to apply heavily. I find my fringe gets particularly greasy from my foundation and constantly running my fingers through it, and this works a treat to get me out the door quickly. I do manage to coat my bathroom, brush etc in white powder, so it's probably best to use this before getting dressed.
I have mid back length highlighted curly hair that I straighten. Straightening takes a loooong time and damages my hair so I try to go as long as I can between washings to limit the damage. I have a really oily scalp though so generally after one day my roots start to look oily and clump together. A couple quick sprays of this and a brush out later and my hair looks fresh and clean. My only complaint is that it gives my a hair a ton of volume which some would consider a plus but I prefer a more sleek look.
Really good dry shampoo. It gives my hair an extra day between washes. Smells ok. I've re-purchased again and again.
I love this stuff! I buy the 'blush' kind as it smells nicer. I have super oily hair so i use this every other day to keep my hair looking fresh. I spray it on the sides and underneath so when i tie my hair back the greasy bits underneath look refreshed. It doesnt leave a white powder residue which many others do and its pretty cheap, less than 2 quid. I have long hair so it runs out quite quickly but its great for a quick refresh in the morning if you arent washing your hair and you can also buy it in travel size which is great for weekends away or to keep in your handbag incase you end up staying out unexpectedly!
I have dark brown hair and it still workd brilliant for me although you can buy it especially for brunettes, havent tried it yet though.

It's a good bet that many who watched independent gubernatorial candidate Eliot Cutler's press conference Wednesday will be perplexed by his remarks.

The Project Risk Management Community of Practice enhances the project risk management practice and its contributions to effective project management by developing a forum for networking, knowledge content and active practitioner engagement.
Projects often face unexpected events, which can be seen as either threats or opportunities. Threats can negatively alter the course of a project & the art of risk management, then, provides the means and tools to manage and reduce risk exposure.
Risk Management has long been identified as key to project success, and as such has been incorporated in the Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK Guide), and has even developed further into both a standard in risk management for projects, and credentials for professionals.
The PMI Project Risk Management Community of Practice is the continuation of PMI's efforts to sustain sound risk management practices in the project management industry.
