Moorpark girl with brain cancer writes of her fight with the disease
Moorpark 14-year-old Breanna Pflaumer was diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer on Dec. 28, 2004. The Acorn will run updates twice a month on Breanna's fight against the disease. We will also cover the community's support and fundraising efforts on behalf of the family. The following is the first installment from Breanna's journal combined with e-mail reports from her dad, Tom. The family, along with mom Terrie and friend Jody Duclos, left for Texas on Feb. 13 where Breanna is currently undergoing an experimental treatment for the cancer.
Tom: Howdy y'all from Tom, Terrie, Breanna and Jody Duclos here in Houston, Texas.
The weather has been wonderful with clear skies and temperatures between 75 to 80 degrees, but we have been focusing on cancer treatment rather than rodeos, shopping or even playing golf.
We arrived Sunday and got settled into our hotel room for a lengthy stay. Monday was an exhausting day starting at the clinic at 10:30 am consulting with doctors, blood tests, and physical exams. We were finally cleared for the insertion of a catheter and finally returned to the hotel after 9:00 pm.
Breanna, Mon., Feb. 14: Happy Valentine's Day to everyone! I went to the Burzynski Clinic and met all my doctors, who made me feel welcomed! In the early evening I set off to get my catheter put in, and was REALLY nervous. But, to my surprise the procedure only lasted 20 minutes
Tom: The actual treatment started Tuesday morning with Terrie, Jody, and Breanna being trained in the infusion process which is mechanically pumped into Breanna at different intervals and quantities over 24 hours. The infusion is computer programmed by a small pump carried around by Breanna in a hand bag and you wouldn't even know that she's hooked up, but the difficult part is the preparation of the bags that you connect to the pump and practicing many safety procedures for sterilization. I am particularly slow in learning this but Terrie and Jody have been aggressive in learning the idiosyncrasies of the process and programming of the computer. We have had problems along the way but that is to be expected over the course of the weeks we are here. When we return home we all should be masters of the computer and the procedure and willing to train all who are interested.
Breanna, Tue., Feb. 15: Guess what? I'm gaining weight! I started treatment today and it was as easy as 1-2-3! I was in heaven, in a recliner chair, playing games while getting fluids pumped into me.
Tom: This treatment under clinical trial has been an increasing alternative to chemotherapy and radiation treatment with little or no permanent side effects like the conventional practices. The original diagnosis from our group of physicians was that her tumor was a mixed glioma. The suggested treatment was a strong combination of chemo and radiation that has never been documented on success or failure making her case a clinical trial.
After reviewing all the long-term side effects and the immediate health issues we agreed that this treatment offered the best results while maintaining the quality of life. We can always fall back on the conventional method if there are no results 4 to 6 months down the road, but since we have been here we have seen many other patients with similar tumors that have traveled down that path with short-term results. Many have been continuously offered different chemotherapy treatments but with little or no success and expressed that the cons outweighed the pros ultimately bringing them to the Burzynski Clinic.
Breanna, Monday, February 21: Happy Birthday Grandma Carol! Today I had another quick treatment and then we went to another grocery store! This store had little stores inside which sold souvenirs, jewelry, clothes, and other stuff. I thought that was different. When we got back to the hotel the staff had hooked our TV up with a VCR and left a lot of VHS movies for me to watch. So, we watched the "Wizard of Oz" and "Annie"! The employees here at the Residence Inn are so sweet and treat me like a princess! Well, that sums up my week. I miss Moorpark, my friends and family. I look forward to seeing y'all soon! Hugs and Kisses, Breanna Pflaumer.
Tom: Before leaving for Texas, Breanna met the singer "Usher" through a close friend. He was practicing for the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles and took time out to meet her and our family, which turned out to be the most exciting thing she has ever done in her life. There are some pictures on her website of her and the superstar. She personally invited him to join us at her golf tournament on March 14th at Moorpark Country Club. I can't say for sure but he could be in the neighborhood.
I want to say a special thank you to John Spykerman and the Ventura County Firefighters who organized the Family Fun Run and the Pat & Oscar's Restaurant fund raiser. Both were spectacular events with an awesome turnout of people, raising an enormous amount of money for the medical treatment of Breanna. Thanks again to all who were involved and hope to see you at the Golf tournament!
With love,
The Pflaumer Family

Don't let the name or the scary imagery intimidate you. This IS a powerful cigar. But after opening with a peppery blast, it settles into a complex, full-bodied treat, loaded with dark fruit and syrupy sweet flavors. Pace yourself and enjoy!
I was very impressed with the construction, taste and burn of this when i bought my first box. Priced at about $10 a cigar, its definitely worth it. Its geared towards the full bodied cigar enthusiasts
A very stout good cigar. I love it. Nobody puts out a better strong cigar than 601.
Great cigar,caution do not smoke on an empty stomach.
If you like a full bodied smoke you will find one no better. Very smooth, consistent and very well constructed. You guys out did yourself on this one. This is a must smoke!!!!
If I could only have one cigar, the La Bomaba is it. Every vitola is bold and complex with superb construction and tons of smoke.
This a cigar for those who enjoy a very strong, but smooth smoke. The Nuclear is like smoking 2 cigars. Starts nice, goes deep, then ends like it started but better. Just wish it was a little less price wise.
This is one to savor. i treated myself to a 5 pack and after only a week in the humidor i just had to try one. Wow, this is a great cigar. Wrapped very tight and was hard as a rock. I thought it would be a hard draw but it was perfect. The ash was perfect, the smoke, the draw. Get one or ten of these. Savoring every draw. Now in my top 3.
If you like Nicaraguan....if you like ligero. Then this stick is for you!
I had probably 50 samplers in my humidor from Famous and just grab one randomly. I ve been through about 25 in the past couple of months with nothing memorable until now. Wow! What a smoke. Smooth, great flavor and draw. Well constructed - only slight negative was burn was a bit uneven but not by much. Overall a great smoke. I will be ordering more of these.
I smoked this cigar within one week of arrival. Deep dark oily wrapper with a good smell. Upon lighting it I was shocked at the awesome taste. I am not good at describing the taste of cigars but I would call this an oaky, leathery, chewy taste. About 1/3 into it the taste stayed similar but with a little peppery taste added. I loved it. Also I have never had a cigar burn this uniform before. I can't wait to taste one after a few months in the humidor.

Taylor Schilling told People magazine, "In season two, we'll see how Piper's story continues, but the show also gets wider and deeper to tell the stories of even more of the women."
Per the synopsis, "The story of Piper Chapman, a woman in her thirties who is sentenced to fifteen months in prison after being convicted of a decade-old crime of transporting money for her drug-dealing girlfriend."

Iligan, Philippines (AFP) Jan 28, 2012
Less than six weeks after killer floods swept away their slum homes along a Philippine river, Lydia Abulanda and her neighbours are rebuilding despite warnings disaster could strike again.
In a poverty-driven tale repeated with depressing frequency across the storm-plagued Southeast Asian nation, Abulanda said they had no other option but to take their chances again in the danger zone.
"We have nowhere else to go," the 41-year-old housewife said as she stood amid the shantytown ruins of Ilagan city, where tropical storm Washi swept away entire communities in mid-December.
The government said at least 1,268 people were killed in the storm, but the total number of fatalities may never be known as entire families were washed away, leaving no survivors in unofficial slum areas to report the deaths.
Government officials said many of the victims were slum dwellers who had flocked to dangerous riverbanks because they could not afford to buy land or build homes in safer areas.
Slums hugging riverbanks, exposed coasts and other areas vulnerable to extreme weather are seen across the Philippines, where roughly a quarter of the country's 100 million people live on a dollar a day or less.
An average of 20 tropical storms or typhoons hit the Philippines each year, many of them deadly, and the floods and winds typically punish the poorest members of society the most.
In Ilagan and other parts of the southern Philippines hit by Washi, the government and aid groups are trying to find safe new homes for thousands of survivors, but many will inevitably end up living back in dangerous areas.
As she visited the flood-hit city last week, the United Nations' top disaster official said she was troubled by the way people seemingly refused to learn from the disaster.
"Yes, it bothers me that people forget so quickly," Margareta Wahlstrom, the UN special representative for disaster risk reduction, told AFP as she inspected the affected areas.
On both sides of a shattered bridge near Iligan, Wahlstrom saw residents using plywood and tarpaulin to erect shanties on the riverbank where homes had been swept to sea 40 days earlier.
The mayor of Iligan, Lawrence Cruz, told Wahlstrom in a meeting witnessed by AFP that the city government did not have the 300 million pesos ($7 million) needed to buy land for the relocation of survivors.
The government initially sheltered thousands of displaced people in schools and gymnasiums but, with classes resuming in the new year, has been trying to move them out to temporary shelters.
Mother of three Maria Teresa Tampang, 37, said conditions were hard in the makeshift centre where she and about 180 families were living in tents donated by a South Korean aid organisation.
"It is really hard in this evacuation area. There are a lot of people getting sick, with recurring coughs," Tampang said, holding her baby in her arms.
"The tents are hot, even at night. But our bed is the hard ground and that is cold."
Wahlstrom said she noted overcrowding at evacuation centres and said there was a need to lift spirits.
"It's critical that people (in the shelters) stop being unhappy," she said.

Thousands evacuated in flooded Australia
Sydney (AFP) Jan 25, 2012
Thousands of Australians were evacuated Wednesday, with dozens being rescued, as monsoonal rains sparked flash flooding and landslides and a cyclone threatened to form in the Pacific Ocean. Emergency authorities ordered 4,200 residents of five towns in New South Wales to abandon their homes as a huge storm lashed northeast Australia, causing rivers to break their banks.

Because you entrusted a lac of rupees to men you didn't know, and who will never come back.
There are a good many Indians about here, says a letter from lac qui Parle.
lac′onism, lacon′icism, a concise style: a short, pithy phrase.
I was on my way to work for the Williamsons, missionaries, at lac qui Parle.
The environs of the lac dAnnecy have ever been a retreat for litterateurs and artist folk.
"If you can rid me of these children, I will give you 229 a lac of gold pieces," she said.
And thus at last comes his accomplice in this business, and gives the fullest testimony to the lac and a half.
It was located to the south and a little west of lac Vieux Desert.
This is usually done with the fingers, but is not very pleasant work, especially with lac solution.
Or are we to understand that lac was employed as a substitute for pitch?
"red resinous substance," 1550s (perhaps via Middle French lacce), earlier lacca (early 15c., from Medieval Latin form lacca), from Persian lak, from Hindi lakh (Prakrit lakkha), from Sanskrit laksha "red dye," which according to Klein is literally "one hundred thousand," in reference to the insects that gather in great numbers on the trees and make the resin run out. But others say lakh is an alteration of Sanskrit rakh, from an IE root word for "color, dye" [Watkins]. Still another guess is that Sanskrit laksha is related to English lax, lox "salmon," and the substance was perhaps originally so called from being somewhat the color of salmon [Barnhart].
lac (lāk)
A whitish, milky looking liquid.

Parmesan Mustard Pork- South Beach Friendly
Recipe by CycloneMommy
I made this the other night and it was really delicious. Very moist and flovorful. Enjoy!
Top Review by PSU Lioness
I made this pork almost exactly as instructed, except that I messed up and put 2 Tbsp of Dijon into the breadcrumb mixture. I was worried that the crumbs were going to be dry after baking, but they wound up coming out quite moist with a nice crunch to the very top. It reminded me of a savory, diet-friendly version of Shake and Bake. My husband said that it might be the best pork chop that he has ever eaten, and that is a HUGE compliment coming from him. Thank you for posting! We will be making this a lot more in the future!

[Federal Register: June 7, 2005 (Volume 70, Number 108)] [Notices] [Page 33180-33181] From the Federal Register Online via GPO Access [wais.access.gpo.gov] [DOCID:fr07jn05-59] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Food and Drug Administration [Docket No. 2005N-0209] Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Food Contact Substances Notification System AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS. ACTION: Notice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing an opportunity for public comment on the proposed collection of certain information by the agency. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (the PRA), Federal agencies are required to publish notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including each proposed extension of an existing collection of information, and to allow 60 days for public comment in response to the notice. This notice solicits comments on the collection of information associated with the Food Contact Substances Notification System. DATES: Submit written or electronic comments on the collection of information by August 8, 2005. ADDRESSES: Submit electronic comments on the collection of information to: http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/leaving.cgi?from=leavingFR.html&log=linklog&to=http://www.fda.gov/dockets/ecomments. Submit written comments on the collection of information to the Division of Dockets Management (HFA-305), Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, rm. 1061, Rockville, MD 20852. All comments should be identified with the docket number found in brackets in the heading of this document. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Peggy Robbins, Office of Management Programs (HFA-250), Food and Drug Administration, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857,301-827-1223. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. ``Collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and includes agency requests or requirements that members of the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including each proposed extension of an existing collection of information, before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement, FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection of information set forth in this document. With respect to the following collection of information, FDA invites comments on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA's functions, including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques, when appropriate, and other forms of information technology. Food Contact Substances Notification System--21 CFR 170.101 and 170.106--(OMB Control Number 0910-0495)--Extension Section 409(h) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) (21 U.S.C. 348(h)) establishes a premarket notification process for food contact substances. Section 409(h)(6) of the act defines a ``food contact substance'' as ``any substance intended for use as a component of materials used in manufacturing, packing, packaging, transporting, or holding food if such use is not intended to have any technical effect in such food.'' Section 409(h)(3) of the act requires that the notification process be used for authorizing the marketing of food contact substances except where FDA determines that the submission and premarket review of a food additive petition (FAP) under section 409(b) of the act is necessary to provide adequate assurance of safety or where FDA and the manufacturer or supplier agree that an FAP should be submitted. Section 409(h)(1) of the act requires that a notification include information on the identity and the intended use of the food contact substance and the basis for the manufacturer's or supplier's determination that the food contact substance is safe under the intended conditions of use. Sections 170.101 and 170.106 of FDA's regulations (21 CFR 170.101 and 170.106) require that a food contact notification (FCN) include FDA Form 3480 entitled ``Notification for New Use of a Food Contact Substance'' and that a notification for a food contact substance formulation include FDA Form 3479 entitled ``Notification for a Food Contact Substance Formulation.'' These forms will serve to summarize pertinent information in the notification. FDA believes that these forms will facilitate both preparation and review of notifications because the forms will serve to organize information necessary to support the safety of the use of the food contact substance. The burden of filling out the appropriate form has been included in the burden estimate for the notification. [[Page 33181]] Description of Respondents: Manufacturers of food contact substances. FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows: Table 1.--Estimated Annual Reporting Burden\1\ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No. of Annual Frequency Total Annual Hours per 21 CFR Section Respondents Form per Response Responses Response Total Hours -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 170.106\2\ (Category A) 5 FDA 3479 1 5 2 10 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 170.101 \3,7\ (Category B) 5 FDA 3480 1 5 25 125 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 170.101 \4,7\ (Category C) 5 FDA 3480 2 10 120 1,200 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 170.101 \5,7\ (Category D) 33 FDA 3480 2 66 150 9,900 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 170.101 \6,7\ (Category E) 30 FDA 3480 1 30 150 4,500 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total 15,735 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information. \2\ Notifications for food contact substance formulations and food contact articles. These notifications require the submission of FDA Form 3479 (``Notification for a Food Contact Substance Formulation'') only. \3\ Duplicate notifications for uses of food contact substances. \4\ Notifications for uses that are the subject of exemptions under 21 CFR 170.39 and very simple food additive petitions. \5\Notifications for uses that are the subject of moderately complex food additive petitions. \6\ Notifications for uses that are the subject of very complex food additive petitions. \7\ These notifications require the submission of FDA Form 3480. These estimates are based on FDA's experience with the food contact substances notification system.
Based on input from industry sources, FDA estimates that the agency will receive approximately five notifications annually for food contact substance formulations. FDA also has included five expected duplicate submissions in the second row of table 1 of this document. FDA expects that the burden for preparing these notifications primarily will consist of the manufacturer or supplier filling out FDA Form 3480, verifying that a previous notification is effective, and preparing necessary documentation. Based on the submissions received, FDA identified three other tiers of FCNs that represent escalating levels of burden required to collect information (the third, fourth and fifth rows of table 1 of this document). FDA estimated the median number of hours necessary for collecting information for each type of notification within each of the three tiers based on input from industry sources. Dated: May 31, 2005. Jeffrey Shuren, Assistant Commissioner for Policy. [FR Doc. 05-11265 Filed 6-6-05; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4160-01-S

The Mystic River
"While airing to the globe this down-to-earth n' logical valuation, we feel sanguine that the lexis of Jack Straw—who undertook voyage to Pakistan—as an emissary of the majestic British empire—shall also induce, Washington as London is reckoned as its' key aficionado—to trail the alike telepathic n' sage illustration that has been elucidated by him [Starw] on the sanctified soils of Pakistan—and that too, without any elusiveness."
Beaming his perceptions on the sacred religion of Islam, the British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw has said that West is eager to remove the existing mistrust with cohorts of diverse faiths.
Speaking to newsmen at the end of his visit to a religious institution in Peshawar—before getting back home—Jack Straw said that to achieve this objective, the British Empire has embarked on some tangible steps and clergy in Britain has started work to build bridges of understanding between Muslims and Christians—via a process of dialogue
If viewed—pragmatically—no religion preaches violence, discrimination and hatred. On the contrary, all religions stand for—peace, love and affection.
As Islam and Christianity—preach peace—there is no raison d'être why their followers should be at loggerheads.
On the contrary, its' ironic that Muslims have remained target of the West—for centuries—overtly due to the covert motives of Christian clergy and a sort of a galaxy of intellectuals—at such realms.
As is indexed—in the pages of history—concepts like 'Clash of Civilizations' were projected in the 20th century with the drive to deepen rancor n' animosity between Muslims and Christians.
And eventually—the Muslims are today being blamed by the West—for anything detrimental—taking place anywhere around the orb.
Paradoxically—a dismal scenario of Islam's punching n' bashing—is explicit everywhere in the West.
To quote a few instances—no one can deny that the perilous issues of Kashmir, Palestine, and Chechnya—stand as the ciphers n' icons of flagrant injustice, being constantly—inflicted on the Muslim world.
There is, thus, a validation for the Muslims to feel hurt n' upset. Plausibly, the Nine/Eleven tragedy is being put up as a podium for—the upshot of the perpetual prejudice and bigotry—to which the Muslims have been subjected by the 'civilized world', titled as—the West.
With every parameter of justice and fair-play—its' for the West to bring its policies towards the Muslim world synchronizing—with its professions and get rid of the symbols of injustice against the Muslims to prove its truthfulness about amputation of all types of qualms, which have been—flanked by now.
We admire Jack Straw's avowal that Britain has taken positive steps—vis-à-vis this significant and crucial topic, even though the ground realities, by now, are entirely dissimilar.
The occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq, confrontation with Iran and Syria, blind support to Israel and concepts like greater Middle East are—in a way—a total contrast to the Jack Straw's contentions.
It's envisioned that the West—led by the United States—will try to comprehend that it cannot live in peace, if it would not allow others to live in peace. Muslims too are part of humanity and should—in no way—be treated with disdain, bias and abhorrence—as such a course, if persists, is bound to generate disgust in the Muslims as well—of-course, as a natural phenomenon.
As was divulged and acknowledged by Jack Straw—during a discourse with a select assemblage of visionaries with scholastic perceptions—Islam is a religion of peace, amity, harmony and adore for all, with equilibrium—as its' pedestal, we feel optimistic that this fabulous visualization—which is based in a pragmatic mindset—shall stand translated into a reality, and shall not rest as a mere illusion, flummox or a fantasy—in times ahead.
With the emergence of the new world-order, this planet—as a matter of realism—has turned into a global village, always equipped with zest n' delight for a tranquil environ.
No one—even with the status of 'commanding-ones'—can neither live in seclusion nor can inflict their divergent n' atypical aspires—on any-one else. With this veracity, it's only the mutual regard, respect n' reverence—that is, in the long-run going to triumph to clutch charismatic savors—for peace all-over.
Such an outlook is no less than a mystic river—which is ought to flow with optimal velocity—for swift dissemination of the memo of love n' adore—to the eventual comfy affluence of the humankind, wherever it dwells on this planet. This approach would—simultaneously—make extinguish n' evaporate all 'idols of malevolence'—engaged in evil acts terrorism—in a hideous style, posing perils to—none else except the humanity.
So let there be a milieu for every-one to drift along the fabulous n' sacrosanct emblem in the silhouette of a mystic river—which is ought to obliterate impious n' wicked species by falling-over terrorism, in its' all forms n' manifestations—and all-set for opening a serene ambiance for the pacifists, irrespective of ones' faith, cast, color, creed n' credo—all-over.
While airing to the globe this down-to-earth n' logical valuation, we feel sanguine that the lexis of Jack Straw—who undertook voyage to Pakistan—as an emissary of the majestic British empire—shall also induce, Washington as London is reckoned as its' key aficionado—to trail the alike telepathic n' sage illustration that has been elucidated by him [Starw] on the sanctified soils of Pakistan—and that too, without any elusiveness.

Competency hearing ordered for woman accused of killing 3
Jonathan Menard - Mar 20, 2014
A St. Charles Parish judge has ordered doctors to reexamine Jennifer Englade, who was declared unfit to stand trial last year after police say she caused the deaths of three people and an unborn baby in St. Charles Parish.
Englade, who was nearly twice over the legal alcohol limit, crossed a raised median last May on Airline Highway and crashed head-on into a Honda Civic, according to State Police. The driver of the Civic, Romishe Mejia-Fequier of Harvey, was killed in the crash. Esther Centeno, who was pregnant and was riding with Mejia-Fequier, also died in the wreck, as did the passenger in the car that crashed into the two women, Joshua Jones.
Two doctors who examined Englade last August found her incompetent to assist her counsel and proceed to trial. In November, Englade was referred to the East Louisiana Mental Health System to undergo treatment to restore competency.Judge Emile St. Pierre, who is presiding over the case, ordered that two doctors reexamine Englade on April 29 and noted that he hasn't received any reports on Englade's condition since November.
Mejia-Fequier's parents, Robert and Ariana, were troubled by the fact that Englade has yet to answer for their daughter's death.
"Unlike my daughter and the other victims of this horrific tragedy, Englade is still alive. Every request, every plea of hers has been granted or taken into consideration," the parents wrote in a letter to St. Pierre. "She was declared 'incompetent' and unable to stand trial. She was transferred to the psych ward due to her having a 'difficult time' in jail.
"But is that not the point for people who break the law? Is that not the entire purpose of jail, to punish those who show no regard to behaving in a lawful manner that is acceptable to society?"
The parents say that a letter Englade wrote to St. Pierre asking him not to "throw her life away" made them sick.
"Please don't take my life away from me. I have had a rough life, from growing up to losing loved ones," Englade wrote. "When I was 11 my mom was hit by a car and killed. My grandparents that raised me died."
Englade wrote that she would do anything to turn back time to before the fatal crash and that spending time in prison has scared her.
"I'm so sorry for what happened. I'm really not a bad person," she said. "I've never done any time in jail before. I'm very scared!"
She ended the letter by saying that her goal is to renew a relationship with her daughter, who is now 21.
"I'm pleading with you not to take my life away," she wrote. "I want to change and I know I can."
According to her psychiatric evaluation last year, Englade has not had a job since 2008 and has been supporting herself with Social Security disability. She told a psychiatrist that she was able to get benefits because she is depressed and has both anxiety and bipolar disorder.
Englade is charged with three counts of vehicular homicide, one count of third-degree feticide and one count of vehicular negligent injuring.

Heavy rain has caused some of the worst flooding to hit Mexico's southern state of Tabasco in more than 50 years.
More than a million people have been affected by the floods, including about 800,000 people who've lost their homes to the rising waters.
Thousands of people have been trapped in their homes or forced onto their rooftops to wait to be rescued.
The politician who's in charge of Tabasco asked anyone who has a boat to help with the rescue operation.
This girl is one of thousands of people who've been airlifted to safety by the Mexican Navy.
Dirty flood water has got into the state's water supply, which could lead to an outbreak of disease, so people are having to queue for clean water.
People have been gathering in churches and emergency shelters have been set up in Tabasco and the neighbouring states of Campeche and Veracruz.
About 80% of the state of Tabasco is already underwater, but weather experts have warned there could be more bad weather on the way.

November 2011 Abstract Supplement
Abstracts of the American College of
Rheumatology/Association of Rheumatology Health Professionals
Annual Scientific Meeting
Chicago, Illinois November 4-9, 2011.
TLR4 on Resident Cells and Bone Marrow Derived Cells Contribute Equally to Arthritis.
van Den Brand1, Ben T., Abdollahi-Roodsaz1, Shahla, Bennink2, Miranda B., Arntz2, Onno J., van den Berg1, Wim, van de Loo1, Fons A.
Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre, Nijmegen, Netherlands
Nijmegen, Netherlands
The IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) knockout mice spontaneously develop a Th17 driven arthritis. When cross bred with TLR4 knock out (TLR4-/-) these animals showed reduced inflammation, joint destruction, and diminished IL-17 levels.
An age-matched (45 weeks), sex-mismatched reciprocal bone marrow transplantation was performed with TLR4-/- and TLR4+/+ mice in the IL-1Ra-/- background by 7.5 Gy irradiation and intravenous injection of freshly harvested bone marrow cells. Bone marrow was stained for Y-chromosome. Peritoneal macrophages were stimulated with lipopolysaccharide. Clinical manifestation of disease was monitored macroscopically (0 to 2 per joint). Animals were sacrificed at the age of 25 weeks. Bone erosion was scored on Safranin-O stained histological slides (05). T cell analysis was performed on cells from spleen and draining lymph nodes using flow cytometry.
Reconstitution of bone marrow was successful as determined by Y-chromosome staining. Peritoneal macrophages from animals engrafted with TLR4+/+ bone marrow showed normal IL-6 mRNA up regulation after LPS challenge, whereas IL-6 mRNA up regulation was significantly reduced by 90% in animals that received TLR4-/- bone marrow. Lack of TLR4 on either the engrafted bone marrow cells or the radio-resistant cells did not affect disease incidence, ranging from 55 to 90% between all groups and comparable to previous experiments. However, animals that lacked TLR4 on the engrafted bone marrow derived cells, radio-resistant cells, or both showed a reduced macroscopic arthritis score (mean 1.0, 0.9, and 0.9, respectively) compared to animals expressing Tlr4 on all cells (mean 1.6). This was also reflected in bone erosion scores of the joints. T-cell analysis showed no differences in Th1 or Th17 in the spleen. However, the percentage of IL-17 positive cells was reduced in the draining lymph nodes of animals lacking TLR4 on the bone marrow derived cells, resident cells, or both, averaging 0.7%, 0.7%, and 0.57% respectively, whereas lymph nodes of complete TLR4+/+ animals contained 1.1% IL-17 cells.
These data suggest that TLR4 plays an equally important role on both the bone marrow derived and local resident cells in Th17 development and in aggravating experimental arthritis. TLR4 could play a local role by creating a cytokine environment favouring Th17. On the other hand, TLR4 activation on the bone marrow derived antigen presenting cells might promote a more aggressive Th17 phenotype.

LOS ANGELES - District Attorney Jackie Lacey endorsed Mike Feuer in the race for Los Angeles city attorney today, saying she would rather work with him than with City Attorney Carmen Trutanich in tackling challenges associated with shifting prison populations.
On Tuesday, voters will choose between Feuer, a former city councilman and Assembly member, and Trutanich, who's running for a second term.
"It is important to me that I have a thoughtful and informed individual with the highest standards of integrity as a criminal justice partner in the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office," Lacey said.
She took issue with a campaign mailer that blamed the alleged kidnapping and sexual assault of a 10-year-old Northridge girl on AB 109, the bill under which non-violent state prisoners were handed over to counties to jail or supervise on probation.
As a member of the Assembly at the time, Feuer voted for the plan.
Lacey said the mailer, paid for by Trutanich's campaign, twisted facts about the alleged kidnapping and rape of a young girl for "political purposes."
She called the mailer "intellectually dishonest and counterproductive to finding solutions to the challenges brought on by realignment."
Under realignment, county jails are being required to take on more felons that would have previously been imprisoned in state facilities and supervised by state parole officers.
Realignment is the biggest challenge facing public safety in 30 years," Lacey said. "Managing this change requires a thorough understanding of the law and willingness to work with others in the criminal justice system."
The effects of AB 109 are in dispute, with some elected officials and labor groups, including county Supervisor Mike Antonovich and the Los Angeles police union, saying it has led to the early release of prisoners.
Trutanich spokesman John Schwada said their mailer takes Feuer to task for voting for a law that Trutanich contends led to the release of Tobias Summers, who is charged with kidnapping and sexual assault of the Northridge girl. The law, he said, does not properly fund the changes called for under the realignment program.
"That mailer was factual," Schwada said. "Of course, Mike Feuer would like us to stop telling voters the truth about his disastrous involvement with AB 109, a program that is by almost all accounts a public safety nightmare -- but that isn't going to happen."
Feuer said the state had no choice but to reduce prisoner population.
"If we had not taken steps such as realignment, it was highly possible the courts would have ordered the release of felons from the state prisons to alleviate overcrowding," Feuer said. "To me that was an untenable possibility."
Feuer said he voted for AB 109 because it "offers potential to reduce our recidivism rate and provides a well-funded prison system to provide services to formerly incarcerated offenders to make a transition into civilian life."
Summers, now in custody, was released from prison in August after serving his sentence, Luis Patino of the state prison system said.
"Before realignment, or after realignment, he (Summers) would have still come out of prison at the exact same time," Patino said.
Summers was in county custody for 10 days in January and was released as part of a county Department of Probation "flash incarceration" program.
"That decision was made solely at the discretion of local officials," Patino said, adding that Los Angeles County has received $124 million as part of AB 109.
Critics of AB 109 claim counties aren't being given enough money.
Antonovich, for example, called the kidnapping in which Summers was arrested an example of "the governor's failed realignment program."
Antonovich called AB 109 "a proven threat to public safety which has overwhelmed probation departments and local law enforcement agencies statewide."
Speaking today, Lacey said that Trutanich supported realignment when he ran unsuccessfully for District Attorney last year.
Feuer thanked Lacey for her endorsement and her "willingness to set the record straight" on the mailer.
"I wholeheartedly agree with her that L.A. needs a city attorney with the highest standards of integrity," he said. "I intend to restore those standards to the leadership of the office."

'Happy Endings' Emmy Snub: Star Adam Pally Takes It In Stride, But Producer Is 'Disappointed'
"Those things are so hard to predict," Adam Pally, aka the show's main character, Max, told Celebuzz over the weekend. "I would love for the show to be nominated, because we don't get a lot of promotion. I think it would have been really nice. But at same time, I'm such a big fan of everybody that got nominated. Max [Greenfield of New Girl] is a good friend of mine, especially. Bill Hader [of Saturday Night Live], I couldn't be happier for. The Modern Family guys, I'm like, 'Whatever.' No, no, no. I love them. I am psyched for everybody."
But not everyone is fine with the Happy Endings snub.
TV bellwether writer Michael Ausiello included two actors from the show, Damon Wayans, Jr. and Casey Wilson, on his list of Top 37 snubs in the Emmy nominations. Said Ausiello: "I'm super-pissed about no love for Cougar Town. Ditto for Happy Endings."
Meanwhile, the show's executive producer, Jonathan Groff, expressed his dismay.
"I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little disappointed," Groff said at a West Hollywood Outfest screening of an unaired, second-season episode called "Kickball 2: The Kickening." At the July 22 event, Outfest honored the show for bringing attention to LGBT issues; Happy Endings has also been recognized by the GLAAD Media Awards.
"It's nice to be part of the discussion," Groff continued. "It's nice that some people are saying we were snubbed. It's cold comfort. But in terms of the best comedy, that's a pretty power-packed lineup. There are a lot of good comedies on the air right now. To see Louie, Parks and Recreation, and Community not get nominated. To go, 'You deserved it ahead of them.' Maybe if there were 10, we could have been a part of that. I was a little bummed to see some of our actors not get nominated."
Those thespians include Adam Pally and Casey Wilson.
"Honestly, I thought maybe Adam and Casey might pop one," Groff said. "Because Adam's character is so interesting. He's done such a good job. We've given him more the snarky, edge, disheveled guy. But actually see him hurt in a relationship, and vulnerable. And Casey's so funny."
Zachary Knighton, meanwhile, who plays food truck owner Dave on Happy Endings, expressed his feelings about the show's lack of Emmy nominations more bluntly.
"It's not a surprise to me," Knighton says. "It seems to me to be pretty obvious how that system works. We'll see — maybe if we start bringing on some high-profile people, we'll get nominated."
Despite the Emmy snub, Happy Endings, which begins its third season on ABC this fall following Dancing with the Stars, has been nominated for several Critics Choice TV Awards, Teen Choice Awards and NAACP Image Awards.
Emmy nominees this year for Comedy Series include are The Big Bang Theory, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Girls, Modern Family, 30 Rock, and Veep. Best Comedy Actor nominees are Alec Baldwin, Don Cheadle, Louis C.K., Jon Cryer, Larry David, Bill Hader, and Jim Parsons.
Do you watch Happy Endings — and do you think should it have been nominated for an Emmy? Sound off in the comments.

Hi Im looking at adding 64 bit servers to our existing PS4 farm. Which is the better way to go in regards to hardware.
Stick to the same vendor / model as your 32 bit stock. HP Proliant servers are my personal preference.
Is it better to get the fastest dual core CPU's or the slowest Quad core CPU's?.
Ask the vendor nicely. If you're lucky, you should be able to get a couple of loan machines from them for testing.
The fastest Quad cores are out of my budget..
And may well not be an option either. Consider an AMD based machine as well - you might find them more cost effective.
Also are there any guides / best practices in relation to integrating 64 bit into a 32 bit farm - ie should AD group policies be replicated / updated to factor the different registry / file paths, server customisations etc etc
As far as Windows is concerned, Windows 64bit is still Windows. So a new 64bit server should be no different from a 32 bit server. If you do have issues, I'd expect them to be device driver related.SBC SITES ONLY GOOGLE SEARCH: http://www.F1U.com ************************************************ For Archives, RSS, to Unsubscribe, Subscribe or set Digest or Vacation mode use the below link:

America's Waning Love Affair With The Auto
"Americans have been loving their cars for about a century, buying increasingly bigger, faster and more expensive cars while the rest of the world moves toward economy and efficiency. But the new poll suggests that driving is becoming more of a burden for many."
"The biggest reasons for dreading the road: traffic and the behavior of other drivers. Only 3 percent point to high gas prices."
"Urban drivers endured an average of 47 hours of rush hour traffic delays in 2003, a threefold increase from two decades earlier. The worst problems were in Los Angeles, where the average driver suffered almost 100 hours of traffic delays."
"The souring attitudes evolved as many Americans moved farther from central cities, generating longer commutes and more congestion. By 2001, the U.S. had more personal vehicles [204 million] than licensed drivers [191 million]."

Humboldt County Bomb Squad destroys potential explosive device
EUREKA- The Humboldt County Bomb Squad was called to detonate a possible explosive on Thursday.
At about 3:45 p.m. in the afternoon, the Eureka Police Department received a call that a Eureka resident found a rusted military shell at a construction site in Arcata and drove it back to his home on the 300 block of Glen Street. The disposal team responded, and transported the device to Samoa at about 8:30 p.m. to detonate it.
Police do not know why the man brought it home, and EPD officials say to call authorities right away if you locate an explosive device and to not touch them.

'Abd al-Hamid al-Ansari, the Dean of the Faculty of Islamic Law at the University of Qatar, recently addressed the homicidally absolutist attitudes of the Islamist factions in the Arab world. Writing in the London-based Arabic daily al-Hayat, al-Ansari prefaced his analysis by finding a parallel in Moslem history and went on to note the ease with which Islamist factions today are spreading their murderous absolutism using modern technology.
The Islamic Law dean saw in the modern Islamist fanatics a modern
version of the Khawarij, which he calls the first terrorist
organization. The Khawarij were a Moslem sect that challenged the
authority of the fourth "replacement" leader following Mohammad,
'Ali Ibn Abu Talib, "claiming that his rule was man-chosen,"
writes al-Ansari, "and that no [Moslem] rule should be obeyed unless
it was the rule of Allah." Furthermore, al-Ansari describes the
Khawarij as having demanded that 'Ali "either mend his ways or face
war. From this, they moved on to accusing the entire society of
heresy." An important aspect of al-Ansari's analysis is that the
Khawarij, like the modern Islamist fanatics, "saw anyone with an
opinion different from theirs, and anyone who was silent and refrained
from joining them, as a heretic; as a result, they permitted the blood
of Muslims..."
Also enlightening is the Qatar University dean's approval of
'Ali's response to the Khawarij challenge. According to al-Ansari,
"The imam 'Ali and his friends did not hesitate to meet them
head-on. He did not clarify his ideas with false explanations, and did
not invent deceitful formulas, but fought the Khawarij and thoroughly
routed them at Al-Naharwan, in the 37th year of the Hijra [659]." In
contrast, continues the al-Hayat article, "we are facing the modern
Khawarij, and behold, fortune has smiled on them… They have satellite
channels… and that makes them into popular stars… Religious leaders
volunteer to issue religious rulings demanding [that believers] stand by
them, and determine that remaining silent or refraining from supporting
them is a sin."
One of the main goals of the "modern Khawarij," al-Ansari points
out, is, like their spiritual predecessors, "to incite the Arab public
against its governments, who stand by America, the enemy of Islam. Most
unfortunately, there are those who believe in this deception, hold
demonstrations, and become involved in acts of stupidity against [those]
whom they call the enemies of Islam." The great sin, implied in al-Ansari's
article, is that "the imams, who pushed them to the edge of the
precipice… continue to live a life of ease, without being held
accountable in any way!" The Qatar University dean asks rhetorically,
"Do they have the right to incite the public to become involved in
acts of sabotage, that victimize innocents and damage state interests?
Or should this right be restricted, so that the public interest is
unharmed?" In a similar confrontation to that between the Khawarij and
'Ali, "Saudi clerics fulfilled their duty by declaring that no one
had the right to issue a religious ruling calling for Jihad except the
Al-Ansari strongly criticizes the lax attitude in the Arab world to
satellite channels that "broadcast terrorist opinions and
incitement…" He writes that allowing the channels to broadcast
freely "on the pretext of the 'principle of freedom for all'"
allows them to disseminate "hatred in the [hearts of] the viewers, who
then [carry out] harmful acts of stupidity…" According to al-Ansari,
"As a result of this false incitement, 83% of the participants in a
survey on the Internet site of the Al-Jazeera satellite channel think
that bin Laden is a Jihad fighter, not a terrorist, and that his
incitement against Western and American interests constitutes a
In the view of the al-Hayat columnist, "There is a big difference
between granting freedom of speech for people who have opposing
political opinions [and express them] peacefully... and between leaving
the microphones to [be used by] armed groups that commit murder to
advance their ideas..." In fact, al-Ansari writes, the Khawarij
"were more merciful than the Khawarij of our generation, as they
permitted the blood of Muslims but not of the ´dhimmis´ [Jews and
Christians], because they wanted to preserve the protection pact given
to them. In contrast to them, [the Khawarij of our time] have permitted
the blood of everyone…" At the same time, al-Ansari claims that the
"platforms of the various Jihad organizations, and of Al-Qa´ida, do
not include fighting Israel." Rather, the terrorists desire power, but
when they were not able to achieve it through terrorism against Arab
regimes, "Satan told them that the Arab regimes were a product of the
West… They decided to fight America on its home turf, so America would
leave Arab lands, thus enabling them to disseminate their corruption."
While stating affirmatively that "the human soul, and primarily the
Muslim soul, is repelled by terrorism," al-Ansari also points out that
"terrorist ideas fall on fertile ground when societies are ruled by a
fanatic culture that the people absorb in doses. Opponents are accused
of religious heresy; opposition is accused of political treason. This is
a culture of terrorism, which is [easily] absorbed by those who have
been exposed to inappropriate education… that leaves no room for
pluralism." The fight against terrorism, therefore, must start with a
reevaluation of "our curriculum… our educational methods… our
education and our media."

Washington • President Barack Obama is asking Americans this Labor Day to think about the rights and benefits that people often take for granted.
In his weekly radio and Internet address, Obama says he's optimistic about the growing economy. He says decisions made now will determine whether the recovery will pick up speed.
Obama says workers and unions fought for things like Social Security, Medicare, workplace safety laws and the right to organize. He says those fights built a stronger middle class.
Obama says to strengthen the modern middle class, the U.S. must raise its minimum wage. He says states and businesses have raised wages already and Congress should, too.

Fruit, Cheese and Wine.. Berry Good!
The key to pairing cheese, fruit and wine is in the balancing of fats, acid and tastes. Summer pairings call for lighter, fresh cheeses, such as Chèvre goat cheese, Brie, or bleus and other aged cheeses.
These summer-friendly cheeses - often encased in a rind - bring out the natural sweetness of summer fruits such as melons and peaches. And remember, you only need a thin slice of cheese so as not to overwhelm the taste of the fruit. Wines should also be on the lighter side, with such varieties as Chardonnay, Syrah or a fruity Garnacha from Spain.
Following are a few of our favorite fruit and cheese pairings:
- Try Bing cherries with Goat Cheese and nuts. A goat cheese sorbet with berries or cherries is also a refreshing and unique dessert in the summer.
- Fruits and berries can easily be soaked, dunked or dipped in alcohol to further complement the flavors of cheese and to create a more decadent dessert. Simply choose a wine or spirit that would also complement the cheese.
- Dip strawberries in melted, low-fat Brie cheese (yes, you can call it cheese fondue). Or try them with bleu cheese or in a salad with goat cheese.
- Blueberries - a great source of antioxidants - are excellent with goat cheese.
- Try blackberries, raspberries or boysenberries with Brie or Camembert and a few basil or mint leaves.
Cranberries not only combat urinary tract infections, but they also are a natural probiotic, supporting healthy bacteria that grow in the gastrointestinal tract and aiding in digestion. Serve them in salads with goat cheese.
This summer, shake your head when it comes to the traditional ice cream cone. Then shake it up with your own unique pairings of fruit and cheese.

Chef Rebecca Rather's Coconut Cake
Recipe by MWarren
I found this recipe from the Dallas Morning News after a long hard search for the perfect coconut cake. I was determined to find the very best one and after much comparison - I found it! This cake has to die for fluffy and wonderful icing which I will be using time and time again. The cake itself is delicious - dense and very very good. Next time, I will put more filling between layers, maybe even double the filling! Overall, a crowd pleasing beautiful 3 tier coconut cake!
Top Review by RacyKnees
I was searching for this recipe to see if it was on the site yet as I have made before and it is to die for - we found this recipe from the Dallas Morning News as well and made it for Christmas 2007 - since then it is a family favorite and the only cake my husband requests for special occasions. Thanks for posting - this is a must have!
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1⁄4 cup whole milk
- 1⁄2 cup unsweetened coconut milk (available in the Asian section of most supermarkets)
- 1⁄4 cup coconut cream (such as Coco Lopez)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 large egg whites, at room temperature
- 2 -3 cups unsweetened flaked coconut, for decorating
- 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons coconut cream (such as Coco Lopez)
- 1⁄2 cup unsweetend coconut flakes (optional)
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 1⁄2 cups granulated sugar
- 1⁄3 cup cold water
- 1⁄4 teaspoon cream of tartar, and
- 1⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1⁄2 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions See How It's Made
- Place an oven rack in the bottom third of the oven and another in the top third of the oven. Preheat oven to 350°F Butter three 9-inch cake pans, then line each with a parchment round. Butter the paper and dust the pans with flour; knock out excess.
- Using an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and salt to blend. In a small bowl, stir together the milk, coconut milk and coconut cream until smooth. Add the flour mixture in three increments, alternating with the milk mixture in two increments, starting and ending with the flour mixture. After each addition, mix at low speed just to combine the ingredients. Stir in the vanilla.
- Using an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter until evenly blended. Divide the cake batter evenly among the prepared cake pans. Set two layers on the top rack and the third on the lower rack. Stagger the cake layers on the oven racks so that no layer is directly over another.
- Bake for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cakes comes out clean. Monitor the layers carefully for doneness; each may be done at a different time. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then unmold onto wire racks to cool completely.
- Make whipped cream filling; set aside.
- Make frosting; set aside.
- To assemble the cake, stack one cake layer on a serving plate and spread the top with half of whipped cream filling. Repeat with a second layer. Stack the final cake layer on top of the first two and cover the cake's top and sides with the frosting. Sprinkle the coconut on the top and sides of the cake.
- Cover the cake loosely with plastic wrap and store for 1 day at room temperature or up to 3 days in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature before serving. Makes 8 to 10 servings.
- Whipped cream filling: Using an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream on high speed until soft peaks form. Beat in 2 tablespoons coconut cream (such as Coco Lopez) and 1/2 cup grated fresh coconut (optional).
- Frosting: Whisk 2 large egg whites, 11/2 cups sugar, 1/3 cup cold water, 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt in a large stainless-steel bowl until thoroughly combined. Place the bowl over a saucepan filled with 2 inches of barely simmering water. Using a hand beater or handheld electric mixer, continue beating the egg white mixture for 4 minutes. Add 1/2 cup mini marshmallows in 2 increments while continuing to beat. Wait until the first batch of marshmallows has melted before adding the second. Continue beating for 2 to 3 minutes more, until stiff peaks form. Remove from the heat, stir in the vanilla and continue beating until the frosting is thick enough to spread.
- NOTE:It's challenging to press coconut into the sides of the cake. When pressing the coconut in, the icing invariably sticks to my fingers and mars the frosting's finish. I've discovered that throwing small handfuls of coconut toward the side of the cake makes it adhere quite well – a messy but effective technique for creating a gorgeous cake.

The Utah-based company reaffirmed yesterday that it expected to generate full-year revenue of $US1.9 billion and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation of $US330 million.
But depending on how the business fares in December, it could exceed those figures.
"What we have to watch is the winter season in North America, how severe it will be in December and particularly how early the firms shut down for the holidays," chief executive Craig Kipp said.
"Our impression is it's probably going to be a pretty good December for us, but until we get through it we just don't know."
Mr Kipp said he had expected some impact on mineral exploration spending as a result of global economic uncertainty, but it was not yet apparent.
"We've been watching this very closely for the past three or four months," he said. "We haven't seen any slowdown at all. In fact, I'd almost say it's been in the opposite direction."
Boart is coming to the end of its "contract season", when bigger mining groups sign up for drilling services for next year.
Demand throughout the period had been "really strong" and "perhaps a little bit stronger than last year", Mr Kipp said.
The positive update helped lift Boart shares 30¢ to $3.26 yesterday.
It is the third time in the past week that a large mining services group has indicated that conditions in the sector remain buoyant.
On Wednesday engineering and foundry group
On Tuesday industrial testing group
But there is also caution in the sector. Mr Kipp said yesterday that Boart was prepared to move quickly if there was a sharp downturn in exploration spending. "A part of me says we're going to be in this environment for a couple of years, if not longer," he said. "The debt issue in Europe and the US, I just don't see that being solved quickly."

Musical rolling art
Riding the bus is definitely a cultural experience not to be missed. The buses often blast music so loudly that talking on a cell phone isn't possible. They are made out of pick-up trucks and each bus is a work of art, or at least, classic kitsch. They run up and down the island all day long, quit around 6pm and don't run on Sunday. The local name is aiga (aye-enga) bus, which means family bus and they are individually owned and painted. Hop on, but throw your money on the dash board as you leave ($1.00 in town, $1.50 to anywhere else). When you get to your stop, if there is no pull cord, rap on the ceiling or tap your quarter on the window. People tuck quarters in their ears since the ie lava lava (sarongs) don't have pockets. The bus is a cheap way to get around, ask anyone for the current local price and directions if it's your first time on the bus. The name of the village the bus is going to is usually posted on the front. There are bus stops in town, but anywhere else just wave when you see the bus and they'll usually stop.

Preventing Stormwater Pollution
What would the City of Tampa be without its water?
Tampa Bay, the Hillsborough River, and the many creeks, ponds and lakes all contribute to make this city what it is and gives us a connection to our environment. This area is blessed with an abundance of recreational waters.
What would the City of Tampa be like if all of our surface waters were polluted?
If surface waters were polluted, impaired, or unattractive they can cease to be an asset to the community. Polluted stormwater poses a significant threat to the health of our clean waterways. Stormwater can become polluted through everyday human activities or through illegal disposal of litter, debris, and chemicals.
What can I do to help keep our waters clean?
All waters that enter the storm drainage system ultimately flow to a natural water body such as a lake, stream, river, wetland or coastal water. Do your best to keep trash and debris from getting into storm drains as these materials can prevent water from draining away from your neighborhood. Follow these links to learn more about ways you can help directly and indirectly:

FLORENCE---John P. (Jay) Dowd of Columbia has been appointed vice president for development at Francis Marion University, effective July 1.
In making the announcement Thursday (June 17), FMU President Fred Carter said Dowd also would serve as executive director of the FMU Foundation. He replaces Scott Faulkenberry, who resigned to enter private business.
"We are delighted that someone with Jay Dowd's experience will lead our fund-raising efforts," said Carter. "With his familiarity of South Carolina, and of the Pee Dee in particular, he will be a big asset to the university as we continue to seek financial support from the private sector."
A native of Bennettsville, Dowd has been vice president for advancement at Columbia College since November 2000, where he directed the college's multi-million dollar fund-raising campaign that has generated more than $10 million of the $25 million goal. In addition to fund-raising, he also managed the college's alumnae and public relations functions.
"I'm excited about joining the FMU community and getting back to the Pee Dee," said Dowd. "Francis Marion has made tremendous strides under Fred Carter's leadership, and I look forward to promoting the university's mission and goals to the region's business community. I'm also enthusiastic about working with the leadership of the FMU Foundation in seeking support for the university."
FMU has two years remaining in its five-year capital campaign that has reached 143 percent of goal with $17.1 million raised to date.
Dowd, 37, also has been assistant vice chancellor for university advancement at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, vice president for institutional advancement at Methodist College in Fayetteville, N.C., and associate vice president for institutional advancement at Limestone College in Gaffney.
He earned a bachelor's degree in history at Winthrop University in 1989 and a master's degree in student personnel services at the University of South Carolina in 1993.
Active in the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education, he is co-chairing the District III program committee's philanthropy track for 2004 and 2005.
He is president of the Central Carolina Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation, vice chairman of the board of Sexual Trauma Services of the Midlands, and chairman of the Commission on Education of Shandon United Methodist Church in Columbia.

Shares in junior coking coal explorer
The explorer acquired its flagship Grosvenor West coking coal deposit only in May this year and in less than eight months has defined a joint ore reserve committee (JORC) resource, secured Asian institutional backing and pulled off a genuine contender for listing of the year.
The $12 million initial public offering comprised an offer of 30 million shares at an issue price of 40¢ per share. By close of trade on Friday, they had bounced 115 per cent to 86¢.
The listing has been a boon for ASX-listed investment group
Wavenet acquired a further 5 million Carabella shares after buying out the shares of Ansett Resources from liquidators, and its discounted shares quardupled in value on Friday.
Lead manager Helmsec Global Capital has secured experienced mining management to oversee the company's progress.
Carabella managing director Mitch Jakeman was formerly Anglo Coal Australia's head of operations. He will primarily oversee the development of the Grosvenor West project.adjacent to the Broadmeadow, Goonyella and, Riverside coking coal mines run by BHP Billiton in the north of Queensland's Bowen Basin.
The project boasts a JORC-compliant resource of 92 million tonnes of coking coal., which is selling at about $US225 a tonne.
The majority of funds raised through the offer will be used to fund the company's exploration program over the next two years of operation.
"We would hope to start mining by late 2012-13, subject to approvals," Carabella Resources chairman Michael Addison said after the listing on Friday.
He said an overwhelming amount of institutional interest came out of Asia before the listing, and would help the company to raise more funds in the future.
"It's not hard selling 92 million tonnes of coking coal," Mr Addison said.
