TANZANIA will not import sugar this year due to build ups in stocks for both locally produced and imported sugar, which is sufficient for the market, it has been learnt.
The Permanent Secretary in the Ministry for Agriculture, Food Security and Cooperatives, Ms Sophia Kaduma, confirmed of the development in a brief telephone interview with the 'Daily News'.
"There is enough stock of sugar for the local market at present and we will thus not import the product. The government will soon issue a press release on the issue," Ms Kaduma said briefly.
The country's sugar consumption stands at 480,000 tonnes per year but the four factories, namely Tanganyika Plantation Company, Kilombero, Kagera and Mtibwa Sugar produce only 320,000 tonnes, translating into a deficit of 160,000 tonnes of sugar that is filled by imports.
The demand gap is covered by licensed imported sugar that has to arrive in the country at the time when all factories close down for maintenance or have less stock for sale. During the off season, sugar factories close for maintenance or the wet season occasions, a situation of less sucrose in the canes and thus less sugar production.
The PS explained that the country imported more sugar than it required last year, thus leading to stockpiling of the product and further owing to the fact that local producers also enhanced their product. The imported product is referred to as "gap sugar."
The Minister for Agriculture, Food Security and Cooperatives, Engineer Christopher Chiza had earlier told this newspaper that the "ban" on importation of sugar will not be permanent.
The Director of Research at the Confederation of Tanzania Industries (CTI), Mr Hussein Kamote, welcomed the move, saying it will go a long way in ensuring reliable market for local industries. Mr Kamote went on and challenged responsible authorities to ensure that they conduct a thorough analysis before issuing licences for importation of sugar.
"The country imported more sugar than its requirement last year due to miscalculation of the requirements. The figures for imports were above the actual imports," Mr Kamote told the 'Daily News' in a telephone interview.
He noted also that even if local producers were able to meet the demand for the local market, importation of the commodity is still inevitable.
"This is because there are times when the factories close for between two and three months during rainy seasons, thus halting production," Mr Kamote noted.
He noted also that even as the country stops importation temporarily, it will still have to import industrial sugar since it is not produced locally. Some industry sources have revealed, however, that smuggling of sugar from some neighbouring countries was also among the factors leading to flooding of the product in the local market.

IHS Automotive's data for 2012 show total sales of 18.16 million units in the Chinese light vehicle market, with more than 13 million units attributed to passenger-car sales, an annual increase of 7.6%.
IHS Automotive perspective
IHS Automotive data show that the passenger-car segment continues to be the main contributor to growth in vehicle sales in China, with sales of more than 13 million units in 2012, up 7.6% year-on-year (y/y), with the C-segment seeing the largest volume sales.
We expect the overall passenger-car market to continue to grow in 2013, with sales rising 11% y/y.
The C-segment and the D-segment continue to be the strongest car segments for volume sales in China.
The Chinese light vehicle market saw annual sales of 18,167,998 units in 2012, an increase of 5.5% year-on-year (y/y), IHS Automotive's data show. Within this total, the passenger-car segment achieved sales of 13,196,128 units in 2012, up 7.6% y/y, while the light commercial vehicle segment saw sales of 4.9 million, up 0.3% y/y.
The passenger-car market is the strongest segment in China. Within this segment, the C-segment is the strongest by volume sales. The C-segment continues to be the largest segment in China in 2012. The segment saw year-to-date (ytd) sales of 6,049,005 units, an annual increase of 11.1% from the 5.4 million units sold in 2011. The C-segment controls 45% of the overall passenger-car market in China, our data show. In December alone, a total of 595,652 cars were sold in the segment, an annual increase of 18.2% y/y. Within the segment, the best-selling model in the year was the Ford Focus with annual sales of 296,360 units, up 56.84% y/y. The Buick Excelle from General Motors (GM) was next with total sales of 277,071 units, an increase of 9.29% y/y. Toyota's Corolla was relegated to third spot with sales of 276,418 units, dropping 4.84% y/y and losing its top spot from the 2011 annual sales in China. In fourth spot was the Volkswagen (VW) Lavida with sales of 247,475 units, down 0.3% y/y. The VW Jetta took fifth position with total sales of 242,528 units during the year, an increase of 11.32% y/y. Within the C-segment, the top volume brand overall was VW with total sales of over 1 million units in the segment alone. VW sold 1,035,622 units in the C-segment in China during 2012, while Hyundai was the second-strongest volume-selling brand in the C-segment with sales of 570,756 units and GM's Buick was in third place with total volume sales of 450,383 units. Ford was in fourth spot with volume sales of 296,360 units, while Nissan took fifth place with total volume sales of 282,036 units sold. The battle for C-segment sales will continue in 2013 as automakers look to take control of the largest volume sector in China.
The D-segment was the second-largest segment in terms of sales in the passenger-car market in China during 2012. Total annual sales in the segment rose to 2.19 million units in 2012, up from 2.08 units sold in 2011. On a ytd basis the best-selling model in the segment was the VW Passat with sales of 233,321 units, up 40.67% y/y. The VW Santana was in second place with annual sales of 202,788 units, down 0.6% y/y, while the VW Magotan was in third spot with sales of 173,664 units, up 98.77% y/y. The Toyota Camry was in fourth place with sales of 145,402 units, up 1.17% y/y, and the Nissan Bluebird was fifth with sales of 133,823 units, up 3.55% y/y. VW continues to be the strongest brand in the D-segment with total sales of 647,362 units across its different models in 2012. VW sales in the D-segment grew by 31% y/y in 2012, an increase on the 493,788 units sold in the segment in 2011. Nissan was in second place with total annual sales of 223,895 units, down from the 281,592 units sold in 2011. Toyota was the third best-selling brand in the D-segment with annual sales of 205,248 units, down 1.86% y/y. GM's Buick was the fourth best-selling brand with sales of 171,541 units, a fall of 5.88% y/y, while Hyundai was fifth with total sales of 117,381 units in 2012, up 3.55% y/y.
Outlook and implications
The passenger-car market plays a major role in China. A total of more than 13 million passenger cars were sold in 2012, an annual increase of 7.6%, our data show. China's vehicle exports also grew during 2012, with total sales rising to more than 1 million units, of which passenger vehicles, specifically sedans, were the largest export group (see China: 18 January 2013: Chinese vehicle exports hit 1 mil. units in 2012). Exports are one contributing factor in vehicle sales growth in China, but they still account for only just over 1 million units. The majority of the new car sales stem from growth in the interior regions of China, where the cars-to-population ratio remains lower than in the coastal areas of China. This is where China's government aims to push further growth through increasing salaries and therefore higher disposable incomes.
China's automotive industry depends on the growth of the country's passenger vehicle market; demand for passenger cars in turn depends on the level of disposable income. China sees the automotive industry as a pillar of its economic strength, which can help the country maintain an annual GDP growth rate of more than 8%. Speaking at a recent industry conference, the vice-president of the Development Research Centre of the State Council, Hou Yun Chun, stated that by raising salaries across China, sales of vehicles could be sustained and this could help the country achieve a constant 8% annual GDP growth rate. "By the end of the next eight years, we hope our [China's] average salary can be doubled so we can increase our consumption power," he said, referring to statements made at China's recent 18th National Party Conference. "As living standards increase, we can see more cars being bought." Hou added that the country needs a GDP growth rate of 8.8% or above per year to bring about a doubling of salaries, which would raise personal disposable income within China and, therefore, bring continuous growth in demand in the automotive industry. The increase in sales in the automotive market would then prop up overall growth of China's economy, he said. "The auto industry is an important, pillar industry to realise the 8.8% GDP growth rate," Hou said.
The major brands that control the majority of China's passenger-car market are those automakers that push sales in the top volume-sales segments. VW is the strongest brand in China, and the Volkswagen Group is the strongest overall parent automaker in China with total sales of 2,608,896 units in 2012. The Hyundai Group, including the Kia and Hyundai brands, is the second-largest in the passenger vehicle segment with sales of 1,340,034 units in 2012, while GM is third with sales of 1,393,517 units. The VW brand saw sales of 2,050,193 units during 2012, followed by Hyundai with 859,595, the Nissan brand third with 751,509 units sold, Toyota fourth (745,565), and Buick fifth (697,455). VW gains its lead from strong sales in the two largest segments in the Chinese market: the car C-segment and D-segment.
The C-segment accounted for sales of more than 6 million units in 2012. The VW brand sold more than 1 million units in the C-segment alone, with models such as the Lavida and Jetta. The D-segment accounted for sales of over 2 million units in 2012, with the VW brand selling a total of 647,362 units of models such as the Passat, Santana, and Magotan.
In 2013, IHS Automotive expects the Chinese passenger-car market to grow by around 11% y/y including imports, an increase on the 7.6% year-on-year local growth achieved in 2012 which including imports the passenger car market in China rose 9% y/y .

Jersey Shore
The Situation's Feud with Abercrombie Continues
When reports emerged that Abercrombie was willing to pay The Situation to stop wearing their brand and disgracing their proud moose with all his GTL, some were calling it a publicity stunt. That scenario seems even more likely as The Sitch admits he never received an offer! The Situation is tired of the games, so he's had his lawyer draw up a cease and desist letter mandating the company stop selling their Jersey Shore inspired T-shirts (one reads GTL while another says The Fitchuation), as well as insisting on a check for all the profits they received from sales of the shirts, saying their slogans were trademark infringements against his company MPS Entertainment.

Itadaki Seieki [English, 186 pictures, in FULL size quality], by Doumou13 May 2013, by Oliver
Boys and girls, rejoice, here comes a complete and AWESOME full tank by our dear Doumou, full of great, highly original sex ^_^
Here is Itadaki Seieki, a 186 pictures long manga by Doumou, partly with new materials, partly with stories we already knew from tank magazines and that were reprinted in much higher quality for this volume
This is twisted, out of the standard norm, mostly happy sex, crazy, exhilerating sex, with heroines that may start with a quiet reserved face but will always end up with some of the hottest, most passionate faces you'll see in hentai mangas. That kind of transformation always astounds me, seriously.
Credits are for Tehpwned1, who kindly commissioned it from Saha, with cleaning by Makasu, thank you so much, you three !
There was an issue with the pics being fucking small, so here's today's UPDATE : the pics are at last in full-size, in full quality !!
By Doumou, I also share Going Into Heat Like A Cat + Reika To Reiji, the exhilarating Yuuka Is A Sadist While Alice Is A Masochist, Playing With Master A Lot! Book, the unpleasant Risou No Battery, Mado-masochistic Book Featuring Plenty Of Master, a nice pack of 4 works and finally Infinit Love.
Open the Complete Pictures Gallery (in testing, okay ? ^^)
Here comes the zip link ! Help yourselves ! ^^
(153 MB, 186 pictures, English)
(please, is there a chance you can use the depositfiles link ? That will generate a tiny bonus for me, thank you very much if that's possible for you ! :)
A bonus for you, the coupon '07xpy4r3b7eiio5108b0db12dzwmjkxm' gives a 10% discount on Depositfiles 6-months and 1-years accounts. )

Look at that, I was literally just saying how Kaspersky's ALWAYS on sale for free and then BAM.
so, it's any chance you release an hq version? text looks odd on my screen
btw: happy birthday to oliver or the guy that wrote that
ps: the other day i get an manga from saigado, i just love it but it was not in english. do you know if some group is working on hitozuma audrey or something like that?
doumou..i was about to become a fan of this guy but then i ran into some of his works that had a rly depressing ending that turned me off…well, more than they should have, since I enjoyed his other ones very much and expected all of the collection to have happy endings too.. and it was such a put-down..
so now i come to figure that his mangas kinda swing between extremely happy storylines and emo ones–i guess he doesnt prefer one over another as long as the manga stays twisted and hilariously f*cked up–and while i'm aware that i cant take another mind-devastating manga to my tender wimpy brain to register, there's no chance i'm not gonna choose to read this tankoubon cuz this guy ROX FO SHO!!!… even w/ the mawkish crap alongsides…i mean, great art, great character-making, great imagination and great fetishes lol….just great. thnx for sharing.
Yo Oliver I would love to help you out with clicking on three links (huge hentai, hentai tale and big porn hentai). But they all have some pretty bad reviews on web of trust… Please do tell if it's a false positive.
Honestly, it's been a full I didn't click their links lol ^^;;
So if they have bad WOT reviews, you'd better be careful and not visit them, no worries
Actually Oliver, Sayo has kindly re-edited and transferred his translations over to the hi-res images which I've just uploaded a gallery of in exhentai. Hopefuly, this would have curbed your murderous feelings
Feel free to look it up.
Thank you VERY MUCH, once again, to you and Saha ! ^_^
I'm curious, would you know why there was this downsized version in the first place ? I really wondered where it came from O_o
Why would you report the comment of one of the guys who can approve and delete comments? ಠ_ಠ
Awesome. Many thanx Oliver.
Love it!!
thanks again Oliver!
Why the hell can't i find this on my folder
Guess i'll just have to dl it again. Thanks for the share Oliver-san!!
They did it again
Maybe it's a sort of weird bot ?
You liked it ? Hated it ? You've got additional information and links ? Or did you see broken links (please report them, I will reupload it) ? Bring more life here, participate, add a comment ;-)
If you report a dead link, please, tell me what is the precise dead hyperlink and the precise error. Never forget to try again !

A fuel storage tank at the Saudi Aramco Shell oil refinery in Jubail, Saudi Arabia, in this photo taken Tuesday, June 1, 2004. (AP Photo/Hasan Jamali)
Saudi Arabia, the world's largest crude exporter, said it cut production last month to adjust to decreased demand rather than to prop up oil prices.
Refiners in Asia may face the greatest quarterly losses from sales of fuel oil in five years as excess supply causes the spread from regional benchmarks to widen.
The following is a weekly summary of Arab Gulf crude and product market news, as well as forthcoming events:
Saudi Arabia, the biggest producer in OPEC, reduced output of crude oil in December because customers asked for less, Ibrahim al-Muhanna, an adviser to Oil Minister Ali al-Naimi, said on Jan. 14.
The kingdom denied what it said were suggestions that it cut oil production last month to push prices higher and accused unidentified media of misinterpreting the kingdom's response to weaker demand.
It was "categorically wrong" to say the decrease in Saudi output last month was a "deliberate attempt" to boost oil prices, Muhanna said in an emailed statement.
Saudi Arabia pared production by 4.9 percent in December to 9.025 million barrels a day as booming U.S. oil output and a recovery in Iraqi crude shipments threatened to oversupply the market, a Gulf official with knowledge of the policy said on Jan. 10.
The cut of 465,000 barrels from November was the largest monthly drop since November 2008, when the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries pared supplies amid a global recession.
A.P. Moeller-Maersk A/S's oil unit sold two 600,000 barrel cargoes of Qatar's Al-Shaheen crude loading in March at a premium of $1.50 to $1.75 a barrel more than benchmark Dubai, six people who participate in the market said on Jan. 15.
In regional trading, the Oman and Dubai grades both declined $1.13 a barrel, or 1.05 percent, in trading through the week ended Jan. 18. Oman crude futures closed at $106.52 a barrel on Jan. 18, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Dubai fell to $106.39 a barrel.
Refiners in Asia are set to post the biggest seasonal losses from producing fuel oil in five years as rising supplies undermine a rebound in Chinese demand. Cargoes of the ship and power-station fuel, a refining residue that producers typically sell at a loss after making gasoline and diesel, traded at more than $7 a barrel below Dubai crude in Singapore last week.
That gap, or crack spread, will average at that level in the three months ending March, according to the median of eight estimates in a Bloomberg survey. It would be the widest spread for any first quarter since 2008, when it was $14.93, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Shipments scheduled for Asia this month are 42 percent higher than in December, data compiled by Bloomberg show, underlining a slide in consumption in Europe.
Qatar International Petroleum Marketing Co., known as Tasweeq, sold deodorized field and low-sulfur condensate cargoes for loading in March from Ras Laffan, two traders said on Jan. 18.
The company sold an unspecified number of 500,000-barrel shipments, the traders added.

Add cornmeal to watery soup to transform it into a hearty, healthier stew, says Forberg. Cornmeal contains an antioxidant called zeaxanthin, which helps preserve vision by increasing the concentration of macular pigment in your eyes. Cornmeal also contains starch that will thicken the soup broth, which is why you should whisk or stir a small handful of it in very slowly (otherwise, the soup may get lumpy).

HSU HomeOffices & ServicesAlumni & Friends
The Alumni Service Award is the highest alumni honor HSU can bestow. It is presented to the former student(s) who has contributed the most in his or her field of endeavor toward the betterment of HSU or who has rendered the greatest service to the university. Awards are selected by a committee whose members are established by a campus leadership role.
Back to Alumni Awards Home
Current HSU Trustee Roy Graham came to HSU from Midland High. The senior class president met and married another campus leader Sharon Smith, who hailed from Klondike. More recently, Sharon served a six-year term on HSU's Alumni Association Board of Directors.
Roy and Sharon own a full-time private business in farming and ranching in Greenwood (West Texas) where they have a successful cotton operation. Both are active in their community, holding various leadership and support roles, and he is a 44-year deacon at their church, Greenwood Baptist.
Roy and Sharon have demonstrated their life-long HSU dedication through continued friendships, volunteer service, and gracious support. All three of the Graham children caught the vision and attended HSU – Andrea '89 (& Monty Chapman '88), Mark '92 (& Marian Shelton '92), and Darla '94X (& Layne Morrow). One of their seven grandchildren is an HSU freshman.
We are very grateful for the opportunity to serve and support a university that cherishes Biblically-based values and seeks to be a shining light in today's world.
Current Trustee Board Secretary, Melinda Stricklin was president of the Board of Young Associates (1994-1995) and has been an officer and scholarship committee chair with the Ft. Worth Area Alumni Chapter. During her time as a Trustee (1997-2004, 2007- ), Melinda chaired the Advancement, Student Development, and Presidential Search Committees. Through the years, she has developed a reputation as a key volunteer recruiter for the University.
Melinda and husband Dirk '80 are co-owners of Savers Cost Plus Supermarkets in the DFW area. They are the parents of three sons: Drew, Jon '11, and current HSU student Ben.
Hardin-Simmons holds a very special place in my heart because it is where I was able to grow spiritually and emotionally, and not only realize but achieve my dreams.
Trustee Glenn Bratcher has rendered invaluable service to Hardin-Simmons University as an active Alumni leader, both on campus and in the D.C. area.
Glenn is a member of Cowboy Club, has served as a class reunion organizer, and is a former member of HSU's Board of Development. During his student days, Glenn served on Student Congress and was a cheerleader and class officer. He was also in Alpha Psi Omega and a staff member for the Bronco.
Professionally, Glenn retired as a Colonel from the U.S. Marine Corps. During his 32 years of commissioned service, he performed duties in six Military Occupational Specialties. He saw duty in the USA, Japan, and Vietnam. His final assignment was as Assistant Chief of Staff, Aviation Logistics Division, HQs, FMF, Pacific.
Glenn now lives in McLean, VA, where he is a leader for the Missions Ministry of the First Baptist Church, Washington, D.C. He also has served as a Deacon, Chair of the Diaconate, and Church Council Member.
Billie Shirley Martin and HSU have a relationship stretching back to 1944 when she moved from Anson, Texas to begin her collegiate studies.
She returned to the 40 Acres as a faculty member in 1952, coaching women's volleyball and tennis, directing women's intramurals, and teaching P.E. classes. In 1977, Billie received the prestigious State Honor Award for meritorious service from the Texas State Association of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation. The following year, she became the first woman elected as president of the HSU Faculty.
Billie served as sponsor of Tri Phi social club for 19 years, and also sponsored the International Club. In 1970, she married the late Dr. J. G. Martin, chairman of HSU's Music Education and Church Music departments. She retired in 1993 as an Associate Professor in Physical Education.
Billie is a member of the HSU Cowgirls (now Ex-Cowgirls) spirit organization. She remains an active member of the HSU Former Faculty/Staff/Administration Fellowship.

Headache Care Center physicians have been treating clinic patients with BOTOX® injections for over 10 years and have performed multiple research studies to determine the most effective use of BOTOX® to treat migraine. As a result, we have honed in on the most effective locations for injections and what type of patients tend to respond the best. Between clinical experience and research, our physicians are very experienced in performing this technique.
The PREEMPT Study was conducted by our research division, Clinvest, along with other sites throughout the country. This study was the basis for the Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) giving approval for the use of BOTOX® in the treatment of chronic migraine. Chronic migraine is defined as 15 or more headache days per month, each headache lasting 4 hours or more, with 50% of the headaches being migraine or probable migraine. Because of his extensive work in this area, Dr. Cady was selected as a National Trainer for physicians who wish to learn this technique in accordance with FDA guidelines.
What is it?
BOTOX® (onabotulinumtoxinA) is a prescription medicine that is injected to prevent headaches in adults with chronic migraine who have 15 or more days each month with headache lasting 4 or more hours each day in people 18 years or older.
It is not known whether BOTOX® is safe or effective to prevent headaches in patients with migraine who have 14 or fewer headache days each month (episodic migraine).
How does it work?
BOTOX® blocks chemical changes on nerve endings. To treat chronic migraine, BOTOX® is injected into muscles of the forehead, the side and back of the head, and the neck and shoulders to produce a partial and temporary chemical "denervation" of the muscle. This causes the muscles to be too weak to contract. The dosage used to treat chronic migraine is very low since the muscles injected are small.
We strongly recommend the injections be performed by a physician trained in this procedure and experienced in treating migraine.
BOTOX® may cause serious side effects that can be life threatening. Call your doctor or get medical help right away if you have any of these problems any time (hours to weeks) after injection of BOTOX®:
There has not been a confirmed serious case of spread of toxin effect away from the injection site when BOTOX® has been used at the recommended dose to treat chronic migraine.
Do not take BOTOX®if you: are allergic to any of the ingredients in BOTOX® (see Medication Guide for ingredients); had an allergic reaction to any other botulinum toxin product such as Myobloc®(rimabotulinumtoxinB), Dysport® (abobotulinumtoxinA), or Xeomin® (incobotulinumtoxinA); have a skin infection at the planned injection site.
The dose of BOTOX® is not the same as, or comparable to, another botulinum toxin product.
Serious and/or immediate allergic reactions have been reported. These reactions include itching, rash, red itchy welts, wheezing, asthma symptoms, or dizziness or feeling faint. Tell your doctor or get medical help right away if you experience any such symptoms; further injection of BOTOX® should be discontinued.
Tell your doctor about all your muscle or nerve conditions such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease), myasthenia gravis, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome, as you may be at increased risk of serious side effects including severe dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) and respiratory compromise (difficulty breathing) from typical doses of BOTOX®.
Tell your doctor about all your medical conditions, including if you: have or have had bleeding problems; have plans to have surgery; had surgery on your face; weakness of forehead muscles, such as trouble raising your eyebrows; drooping eyelids; any other abnormal facial change; are pregnant or plan to become pregnant (it is not known if BOTOX® can harm your unborn baby); are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed (it is not known if BOTOX® passes into breast milk).
Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, including prescription and nonprescription medicines, vitamins, and herbal products. Using BOTOX® with certain other medicines may cause serious side effects. Do not start any new medicines until you have told your doctor that you have received BOTOX® in the past.
Especially tell your doctor if you: have received any other botulinum toxin product in the last 4 months; have received injections of botulinum toxin such as Myobloc®, Dysport®, or Xeomin® in the past (be sure your doctor knows exactly which product you received); have recently received an antibiotic by injection; take muscle relaxants; take an allergy or cold medicine; take a sleep medicine; take anti-platelets (aspirin-like products) or anti-coagulants (blood thinners).
Other side effects of BOTOX® include: dry mouth, discomfort or pain at the injection site, tiredness, headache, neck pain, and eye problems: double vision, blurred vision, decreased eyesight, drooping eyelids, swelling of your eyelids, and dry eyes.
For more information refer to the Medication Guide or talk with your doctor.
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
Please see BOTOX® full Product Information including Boxed Warning and Medication Guide.
"Very simply, Botox has given me most of my life back. I had daily migraine headaches when I sought out the Headache Care Center. I was so very tired of trying medications that didn't work or had horrible side effects. Dr. Cady and Dr. Dexter tried Botox quickly at the onset of their treatment strategy for me and I had amazing results. It took a couple of weeks to feel the full effects, but I have had at least two thirds of each month nearly or completely headache free. I feel confident that I can eventually become completely headache free with this treatment. I would recommend it to anyone suffering as I did."
"Botox has been a part of my migraine preventive care for several years now. To refer to Botox as a 'cure' for migraines in my opinion would be an inaccurate claim. However, I have gone from a dozen or more migraines a month to only two migraines in the last 6 months; both of which were ended quickly by my rescue medication. Botox is a vital factor in managing my headaches. I'm so very thankful for everyone at Headache Care Center!"
"I have experienced migraines since I was a child and have tried everything on the market from Imitrex to acupuncture. I've had various cycles with my migraines throughout my life, but I was at an all-time high of headaches during a month when I found Botox. My doctor saved my life when he split my headaches in half with the first set of injections. I now have more valuable time to spend with my husband, children and grandchildren. I can schedule trips easier, and my daily life is getting so close to normal that I feel so blessed to have found this treatment."

Gossip Girl
Official Synopsis for Gossip Girl Season 6, Episode 4, "Portrait of a Lady Alexander": Blair Wears Jodhpurs and Serena Reveals Her Number!
From the promo shots we've seen of Gossip Girl' Season 6, Episode 4, "Portrait of a Lady Alexander", there's going to be crying (Sage) with a distinct chance of camel toe (Yeah, B, we see your leggings-as-pants).
Further leaking out of the genie lamp of spoilers, Serena (Blake Lively)'s going to be revealing all the things we've been dying to know about her sex life, and apparently it doesn't go well. Though, we're not exactly surprised. She spent a lot of time on "boats" that wasn't shown on screen — or even discussed. We can't wait to know what she did last summer (and the four before that, come to think of it).
Want more? Here's the good word:
Chuck's (Ed Westwick) continued investigation into his father's dealings leads him to an unlikely event with Manhattan's elite, where he hopes to find the one person who can tell him the truth about Bart. Serena (Blake Lively) and Steven (guest star Barry Watson) decide to reveal their romantic histories so they aren't surprised by anything, but neither was prepared for what they uncovered. With The Spectator in jeopardy after Dan (Penn Badgley) decided to publish elsewhere, Nate (Chace Crawford) must make a difficult decision to keep it in business. Meanwhile, Georgina (guest star Michelle Trachtenberg) pushes Dan to choose a worthy person to date to boost his image, but he finds himself drawn in a different direction.

I have seen an ssh tunnel setup for passing smb/samba to/from linux boxes,
but not between Windows boxes without a *n*x box as part of the mix.
As for Windows to Linux box, I know some ssh clients permit port
forwarding, but, I've never tried this with samba traffic (TCP ports

Well, have you looked into WebDAV over SSL? I think it does file locking,
but access through it can be a bit tricky when doing edits to the files in
the "share". (The file locks are not OS based, but dealt with by the
WebDAV system - meaning, if everyone edits through WebDAV, then locks are
properly handled for all users. However, if most users use dav, but some
edit these same files in a shell on the file server or via other
filesharing systems, locking can get busted.)
A strong advantage of WebDAV over SSL is encryption is "there" for data
and authentication, and it uses the existing web service (a big plus if
you have a web server on thebox anyway.)
A disadvantage is it *can* be slow. However, there are clients for Linux,
MacOS 9, while Mac OS X and Windows 98 (and later) have it built-in, and
windows 95 has a free upgrade to permit this to work.
(It is often slower than a genuine file server like NFS/Samba/Netatalk,
but for large files, the speeds for all of these start to approach a
similar optimum value on a per connection evaluation.)
Often, I will copy a WebDav document to a local box, edit it locally, and
then copy it back. However, during the copy and "opening" the file is
locked so long as all access to the file is through DAV. (Not a local FS
lock, but a DAV-protocol based lock.)

That is kind-of what WebDAV is about. It uses a web server (usual
implementation) to push files to/from the server all over port 443 (ssl
default) or 80 (not suggested for security reasons.)
However, there are also content management systems. This question came up
before, and I think "zope" was suggested. There are others, but I dont
remember what they were. (sorry, I though this questions was answered on
the liste before, and the answer following mine discussed another option
that was also possible through a web server with an extra package and/or

Odd. After you added the entry to lmhosts, did you also add the #PRE at
the end to force preloading and then reboot?
(Your mouse has moved. Would you like to reboot windows for these changes
to take effect? #PRE is supposed to force preloading of name at boot.)
In most cases, mods to lmhosts work "right away", but not always. Also,
there is an order for name resolution that can be set in windows. You
probably want to have it attempt reslotion through lmhosts first, then
Master Browser (or PDC/BDC), then WINS, and then rDNS/DNS. Verify your
resolution order is properly configured for LMHOSTS resolution first.
One easy way to test this, is make a name that points to the IP that has
an underscore as part of it, and then from command.com, try to ping that
name (the one with the underscore.) Since Underscore are a violation to
FQDN, a WINS (through to DNS) and DNS/rDNS will fail and you will only be
left with LMHOSTS and MasterBrowser (or PDC/BDC.)
After you are certain that the name in lmhosts is being checked, make sure
the name you set in LMHOSTS for the IP matches the machine's real NetBIOS
I use WebDAV over SSL for most of my cross net "filesharing" stuff. This
also permits you to give users a different username/password for WebDAV
filesharing than you have in /etc/passwd. This permits me to feel a little
better about using untrusted machine and risk exposure of some of my
content when using WebDAV - while I would never use and untusted machine
for ssh to a real user account.
WebDAV can also work with quotas, but that really needs group quotas and
introduces other restrictions, and limitations on file reading and
Searches for "content management" may get you services that offer you what
you want.
My Favorite for a kind of file sharing:

We should really stop calling the AIG payments a bailout of AIG - more honest (and perhaps actually more politically palatable) to describe it as the CDS bailout. AIG, as the largest seller of CDSs, was simply a conduit for the payments to the purchasers of CDS protection - that money did not stay with AIG or go to its executives or shareholders.

With its witty observations, rapid pacing and expertly delivered one-liners, "The Pages of My Diary I'd Rather Not Read" is a great evening of theater for its humor alone. What makes Eydie Faye's debut as a playwright special, however, is its trio of strong characters.
At the heart of the play is Esther, a Jewish girl from the Valley pursuing an acting career in New York. Her love affair with Target stores, her memories of high school classmates and, oy, her mother -- Esther's every observation is a proverb packed in a bitter pill wrapped in a joke.
Watch out for "the guacamole incident," Esther's whimsically indignant tale of sibling rivalry. The story packs an unexpected emotional wallop in the dramatic final half-hour.
The play's emotional payoff comes largely through Jane and Ivy, characters worthy of their own shows and wonderfully served by actresses Betsie Devan and Melissa Manzanares.
At the beginning of "Pages," super-tough, foul-mouthed Ivy is excited over her big new job, and perky Jane tries on her wedding veil. As the play slows down and opens up, all three characters emerge in three dimensions. The disappointments of the women's fatherless childhoods and the hard compromises they must make in life begin to poke through their laugh-it-all-off toughness. Before the lights come up, you may want to be friends with these people.
"The Pages of My Diary I'd Rather Not Read" is playing until April 29 (but may be extended) in Hollywood. $18. For ticket information, call (323) 930-9304.

In need of a 2'3 hunter
i am looking for a 2'3 hunter for my friend. she has some confidence issues as the horse she has now is horrible at shows and always tries to get her off. Were looking in zone 1 and needs to be able to jump 2'3 with room o spare she is around 5'2 so around 16 hands would be perfect! she doesn't have a lot of money to spend so no higher the 3500 please! thanks
i have a couple questions about the behavior of my horse.
I have a 10 yr old tb she does not have a tatoo but my trainer thinks she might have been trained on the track
1st Question: Savannah sleeps every were…when we stop walking within 2 minutes of standing she is falling asleep or we will be in a lesson and we will finish a course and stand for a minute while someone else goes and she falls asleep. should i be concerned at all?
2nd Question: I took Savannah to a 5 day show last week and they have big white tents with stalls inside. The have the bars in the front and the full walls on the other 3 sides. The first night she started pacing so bad that she dug a 2 foot hole in her stall(it was just grass they didn't have matts) so i filled the hole in and her and this gelding next to her love each other so we switched out the solid wall for an extra bar one thinking it would help but she did the same exact thing that night too..but then we brought her to a stable a little bit away and she was totally fine …do you have any idea what it could be?

PHOTOS: The Two Worlds of Leon Eldridge
BY Advocate Contributors
September 19 2013 4:00 AM ET
Eldridge has been doing drag for six years. It started when he would attend theme parties, and he says that because he wanted to be the most outrageous person there, he would dress as a woman.
When he first began dressing in drag he would dress in what he calls "gender-fuck" in which he would blur the line between masculinity and femininity.
"You might wear a tuxedo and six-inch heels and a face full of makeup," Eldridge says, "or you might wear a ball gown and makeup but no wig."

Casserole Labs is moving across the river to a new office in DUMBO.
The tech company is currently located at 568 Broadway but will relocate to 4,500 square foot office at 231 Front Street for the next five years.
"[There are] windows on three sides. Large, brick and timber high ceilings," commented Christopher Havens, the director of commercial property of aptsandlofts.com and a broker on the transaction. "[It's a] really superb space."
Cassrole Labs is relatively new firm that works with clients to provide a platform and assistance in branding, mobile and web development, package design, and raising capital.
Mr. Havens was the sole broker for the landlord, Meir Moore Inc., in the transaction. Casserole Labs was represented by an in-house broker. The founder of the firm, Zackery Blank, declined to comment on the deal.
The asking rent was reportedly $32 per square foot.
231 Front Street, an early factory designed by William B. Tubby in 1908, is located between Bridge and Gold Street in DUMBO. The building spans six stories with approximately 10,000 square foot floor plates, culminating into a 70,000 square foot building.
The work permit to change the landmarked building from factory to commercial use was filed a few years ago with the intention to alter the facade, rebuild entrance staircases, and install a canopy. The building, as it stands now, features no retail outlet on the ground floor.
Not to hijack this thread, but I'm interested in seeing if I'm eligible for a short sale and I can't figure out how to find a local, highly regarded realtor… do you have any info on this realtor? They're listed in the city of Fair Oaks, CA 20 min from my home and I can't find reviews on them – Becky Lund & Associates, 8814 Madison Ave Fair Oaks, CA 95628 (916) 531-7124.

The term Gladiator was derived from the (Latin: gladiatores, which meant swordsmen or one who uses a sword or gladius). Gladiators were professional fighters in ancient Rome who fought against each other, condemned criminals and wild animals. They sometimes fought to the death, for the entertainment of spectators. These fights took place in arenas in many cities from the Roman Republic period through the Roman Empire. Our Gladiator Helmet is made from brass. Fully wearable.

On Colorado State president's stadium recommendation, with his message to CSU community and his memo to board
Colorado State president Tony Frank's Saturday announcement that he is recommending forging ahead with the on-campus stadium project wasn't a surprise, but rather confirmation of what seemed inevitable.
Yet it was monumental nonetheless. It's expected that the CSU system's board of governors will approve his recommendation at its Friday meeting in Denver.
Here's my story. Originally Saturday, that link took you to the full, breaking-news version posted in the morning, but now it takes you to the shortened version that was recast for print and went through the editing process. In the wake of that, let me make this clear: This is not a done deal, not at $220 million or anything else. Again, the board still has to approve Frank's recommendation. Sure, that board approval is likely, or maybe even more than likely, but I repeat … this is not a done deal. And Frank makes clear there would be details, mostly about financing, to hammer out and bring back to the board.
Here's Frank's communication with the university community on Saturday: Read more…

What's the difference between beautiful and pretty?
Some look at me and say I'm beautiful and some say I'm very pretty. and once someone said that I'm not beautiful but I'm pretty... So is there really... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
To me- let me put it this way. When I met my ex I thought she was pretty. VEry very pretty. After I got to know her and got to see what kind of person she was, she became the most beautiful person in the world to me. Even though we're not together anymore, I have yet to find someone who has half of what she had, and women who are generally physically more attractive then her, still seem to pale in comparison because they're not as good a person.
What Guys Said 7
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I have had girls I knew in the past say a girl was pretty/attractive/ etc then I saw her and I was like huh what. I have found it seems to be all or most girls seem to think ALL girls are pretty/attractive/ etc.
Then again look are by no means everything they only play a tiny part of who there person is personality has to count huge and actually be there in the person, no one is going to get by on their looks.
What Girls Said 4
Beauty is only skin deep. I consider pretty as someone being physically appealing. Blatently their personality sucks or has not shown through yet. Such as the quote says. A beautiful person is someone who has the heart, brains, and personality that coincide with being physically attractive.

Immigrant Profiles & Demographics
Immigrant Profiles & Demographics
Recent Activity
In 2011, there were 25.3 million Limited English Proficient (LEP) individuals residing in the United States, or roughly 9 percent of the nation's population ages 5 and older. Although most LEP individuals were foreign born, nearly one-fifth of this population was native born, about three-quarters of whom were children ages 5 to 17. This article provides a demographic and socioeconomic profile of LEP individuals residing in the United States, including the population's size, geographic distribution, and demographic and socioeconomic characteristics.
Immigrants from the Philippines made up 4.5 percent of the 40.4 million immigrants in the United States in 2011. Although this population—1.8 million strong in 2011—has grown 17 times its size since 1960, its share among Asian immigrants overall has decreased since that year. This article examines the latest data on Filipino immigrants in the United States, including population size, geographic distribution, admission categories, and demographic and socioeconomic characteristics.
Immigrants from South America made up 2.7 million (about 7 percent) of the United States' foreign-born population of 40.4 million in 2011. While the share may seem small, this population has grown 30 times its size since 1960, when about 90,000 South American immigrants resided in the country. This article examines the latest data on South American immigrants in the United States, including population size, geographic distribution, admission categories, and demographic and socioeconomic characteristics.
Fundamental demographic, economic, and educational changes have set Mexico on a new path, significantly altering its migration-related priorities and concerns vis-a-vis the United States and Central America. This article examines new migration trends, Mexico's role as a country of transit and increasingly of destination, the 2011 migration law, remittances, government policies on the Mexican diaspora, and more.
Immigration has contributed to many of the economic, social, and political processes that are foundational to the United States as a nation since the first newcomers arrived over 400 years ago. After brushes with immigration reform that began in 2001 and continued in 2006 and 2007, the United States seems to be on the threshold of overhauling the legal immigration system in the most substantive way since 1965. This article provides a comprehensive overview of major legislation and events affecting U.S. immigration throughout history, legal and illegal immigration flows, postrecession immigration trends, and more.

A discussion on the gains that young adult immigrants or the U.S.-born children of immigrants have made in education and employment, with speakers: Michael Fix, Jeanne Batalova, Andrew P. Kelly, Raul Gonzalez, and Margie McHugh.
The number of U.S. residents deemed Limited English Proficient (LEP) has increased substantially in recent decades, consistent with the growth of the U.S. foreign-born population. This brief offers analysis on the number, share, growth, and linguistic diversity of LEP individuals in the United States from 1990 to 2010 at the national, state, and metropolitan-area levels.
The story of immigrant integration in the United States has historically been one of generational progress, with the gains for second-generation Hispanic women particularly impressive, as this report reveals. It profiles first- and second-generation young adults ages 16 to 26, examining this diverse population's education and career pathways.
With the ten year anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks approaching, the Migration Policy Institute held a conference call to discuss the most significant changes that have occurred in the immigration arena in the decade since the attacks.
Migration to the United States from Mexico and Central America's Northern Triangle (El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras) has accelerated in the last four decades. This increase has been driven by economic opportunities and facilitated by social networks of friends and family already in the United States.
This fact sheet details the policy, programmatic, budget, and manpower changes that have happened in the immigration arena as an outgrowth of the 9/11 attacks.
The United States has historically offered unparalleled economic opportunity to successive generations of immigrants and their children, poised to play an increasing role in the U.S. economy. But the lasting impact of job loss and slower growth over the next decade will translate into fewer opportunities for workers—and immigrants may prove the most vulnerable.
European dominance in U.S. immigration flows has decreased significantly since World War II, a result of economic, demographic, and policy trends on both sides of the Atlantic. Today, migration from European Union Member States to the United States, while small, is characterized by a substantial numbers of European scientists, professionals, and businesspeople.

This is extremely simple to build PIC Temperature meter that allows to measure temperature in two different locations at the same time. Never before such a useful and powerful circuit could be built with so little components and yet provide endless possibilities. This is all possible thanks to the use of PIC16F628 microcontroller and 2×16 character LCD display that act like a small computer which can be customizable thanks to upgradeable hex firmware.

This is so called persistence of vision when the perceptual processes of the retina of the human eye retains an image for a brief moment. Such inertia causes an illusion of motion rather separate frames displayed in quick succession. So this illusion technique can be used in many areas. Probably you are avare about rotating clock projects so why not to put similar technique in bicycle tire and look cool in the dark.
Raphaël Assénat have been developing a rotating LED bar on bicycle wheel for quite long time and came up with several versions of project. The newest is capable to read RPM of wheel and display value with LEDs. Also Display scan rate is fixed what allows to display smoothly at any rotating speed.

As COM ports are disappearing form computers – especially from laptops, there are more and more USB to RS232(COM) adapters showing up in the Internet. The bigger choice the better to end user – he can look and build the best solution that fits his needs. This particular adapter was developed by Alex Sidorenko and its main purpose was to comply RS232 to USB of car ODB(On-Board Diagnostic) unit.

Strangeness of this clock is in its expression of numbers, which is realized using seven Leds. Leds are located inside a pipe, one above another and if we move Leds enough fast left or right, we have a space where we can write numbers, characters or anything else. All these are possible only if we turn on specific Leds at precision timing. Moving LEDs left or right is achieved using a steel plate, so we have to tense the pipe in one direction (left or right) and let pipe to vibrate by itself.
Unusual clock with AT89C2051 – [Link]
From the beginning, Leds are used in many applications for signalization purposes. For what else can be Led used except for signalization or lighting? You can use it in another way, and some times that may be very useful. Usual Leds can be used as ambient light sensors, where Led can be used for signalization or as ambient light sensors. The idea is very simple, just look at schematic.

Raph has designed this board for NES/SNES controllers to USB, but it found place in many more projects due to its small size and easy to use.
This board is only 27.5×17.7mm size and is equipped with Atmega8 microcontroller. Circuit is already adapted for Firmware-Only USB Driver from Objective development including 12MHz resonator. Also there are several I/O pins available for custom programming. Because board it self is double sided, there is a place for SMD voltage regulator.

"This is just the thing you need to have in your camera bag. I have one that I bought online but if your not in a rush and have the skills to solder this would be a clever little device to have around. Very handy for tripping the shutter when your doing macro work or your doing long exposures where camera vibration is a bad thing."

The IR Widget captures the infrared signals used by remote controls. It operates in a way that makes it compatible with modern multitasking operating systems. It is able to determine the carrier frequency and demodulate the carrier in the digital or analog domain. The captured information can be used to view, recognize or reproduce the signal. The hardware is designed to be as simple and low cost as possible. A PIC12F629 was used for development, but almost any PIC that uses the 12 or 14 bit instruction set could be used. There are also 74HC based circuits for Luddites who refuse to use microcontrollers.
