Our objective was to compare calculated (LaFarge) with measured oxygen consumption (VO(2)) using the AS/3 TM Compact Airway Module M-CAiOVX (Datex-Ohmeda, Helsinki, Finland; AS/3 TM) in children without cardiac shunts in a prospective, observational study. VO(2) was determined at the end of the routine diagnostic and/or interventional catheterization. VO(2 )was calculated according to the formula of LaFarge and Miettinen for each child and compared with the measured VO(2). Data were compared using simple regression and Bland Altman analysis. Fifty-two children aged from 0.5 to 16 years (median, 6.9 years) and weighing 3.4 to 59.4 kg (median, 22.9 kg) were investigated. Calculated VO(2 )values ranged from 59.0 to 230.8 ml/min, and measured VO(2) values from 62.7 to 282.2 ml/min. Comparison of calculated versus measured VO(2) values revealed a significant correlation (r = 0.90, p < 0.0001). Bias and precision were 8.9 and 48.3 ml/min, respectively (95% limits of agreement: -39.4 to 57.2 ml/min). Comparison of calculated VO(2) in children older than 3 years (n = 41), as restricted to the formula, with measured VO(2), revealed a slightly reduced correlation (r = 0.86, p < 0.0001). Bias and precision were 10.0 and 52.5 ml/min, respectively (95% limits of agreement: -42.4 to 62.5 ml/min). We conclude that calculation of VO(2) by the LaFarge formula does not provide reliable values compared to measured values. In clinical routine, measured rather than calculated VO(2) values should be used for the estimation of cardiac output and related variables.

Supreme Court Justice Potter Stuart once famously quipped that he could not provide a description for indecent material "...but I know it when I see it." State circuit court judge Tim Kelley recently struck down the LA School Voucher program citing clauses from the LA Constitution that do not appear in the document; thus I assume Judge Kelly must rely on Stuart's adage that he "...knows an unconstitutional act when he sees it."

533: Laptop Hell
[edit] Explanation
The Devil is greeting the new souls sentenced to Hell, and recognizes an executive from Fujitsu Ltd. The Devil singles her out and comments that she caused his favorite laptop, the Fujitsu Q2010, to be taken out of production. The Devil is displeased because he thought it was a good laptop, just poorly marketed. The executive is confused and asks the Devil why it is upset, as acts of evil are generally encouraged by the Devil. The Devil explains that Hell uses laptops as well and the need for laptops is greater than the need to encourage evil works. Though, it later confesses, Hell has an exclusive deal with Fujitsu competitor, Sony.
This comic is likely a wish fulfillment fantasy by Randall for the canceling of his favorite laptop, the Fujitsu Q2010. Exclusivity deals are typically thought ill of as they are bad for competition. Also since exclusivity deals solely benefit the provider, there are often reciprocal arrangement for the purchaser. This implies that the devil has influence at Sony. Likely Sony was chosen as the electronic distributor to hell because of the Sony rootkit scandal. This scandal inspired many to call Sony an evil company.
The title text explains that Randall's systems administrator is upset with him because he tested the systems administrators laptop by throwing it down several flights of steps. The systems admin is implied to have taken revenge childishly, by replacing part of the text with "DISREGARD THAT I SUCK COCKS"
The "suck cocks" part is a reference to a post in bash.org which went on to attain moderate fame.
[edit] Transcript
- Devil: Welcome to Hell. Here's— Wait. I know you.
- Devil: You're the Fujitsu exec who killed the Q-series.
- Fujitsu Exec: ...Yes?
- Devil: The Q2010 was the perfect laptop!
- Devil: Powerful, durable, had every feature, and made the Air look bulky. And that was back in 2006!
- Fujitsu Exec: But no one bought it!
- Devil: Then you marketed it wrong!
- Fujitsu Exec: Wait. Don't you encourage evil acts down here?
- Devil: In theory, yes, but we need laptops too! Although it's moot, since we have an exclusive deal with Sony.
- Fujitsu Exec: I knew it!

iOS 6.1 software update is now out in the Philippines!
This update doesn't really bring any noticeable change to the user interface nor does it come with too many exciting new features but it does bring that one improvement that I'm sure many of you have been eagerly anticipating: LTE speeds support. (Note, however, this is only half of the whole process needed for you to actually enjoy blazing fast connection. The other half involves your postpaid data subscription and the availability of such speeds in your area.)
Here's my short step-by-step tutorial video on how you can download and install iOS 6.1 on your iPhone 5:
But what exactly is LTE and what's so hot about it, you ask? Well, as earlier explained in TechPinas, LTE is the latest standard for wireless communication of high-speed data for mobile phones and other data devices such as USB modems, smartphones, and tablets. This next-generation mobile network technology responds to the growing demand for mobile Internet bandwidth by providing download speeds of up to a whopping 100 Mbps. That's really, really fast!
OK! I've upgraded my iPhone 5 to iOS 6.1, what should I do next to finally get LTE on my phone? If you're a Globe postpaid subscriber, I believe you'd have to swap your current Nano SIM for an LTE enabled one at a Globe Business Center near you to enjoy such speeds. No need to do that for Smart postpaid subscribers who availed of their plans last Christmas. Both companies are set to deliver LTE speeds for free until January 31, 2013 - but Smart Communications has just announced that it will continue to provide it for free until April 30, 2013 without the need to upgrade to a separate data package. Eventually though, of course, users would have to subscribe to a separate LTE postpaid plan to continue enjoying blazing fast speeds. And remember, you'd have to be in an area where LTE is available to enjoy such connection.
I've been receiving a lot of inquiries from my readers about how to get LTE on their #GlobeiPhone5 and #SmartiPhone5 smartphones, among other related queries. I've just forwarded all of your questions to Globe Telecom and Smart Communications and I'm now awaiting their response. I'll publish all of their answers on TechPinas once they're available. Stay tuned, TP Friends!

Merkaz Harav Memorial in Photos
Merkaz Harav yeshiva held a memorial Thursday for the eight young students slain by a terrorist five years earlier.
First Publish: 2/8/2013, 11:56 AM
The Merkaz Harav yeshiva in Jerusalem held a memorial Thursday evening for the eight young students murdered by a terrorist five years earlier.
Rabbis at the school spoke in honor of the slain students. The event bridged political divides, with ministers from Shas sitting alongside MKs from Bayit Yehudi (Jewish Home) despite the two parties' recent political clashes.
The students killed in the 2008 attack were gunned down as they sat studying in the yeshiva library. Six of the victims were high school students.

CoCo Brown is a former adult star who has interests and opportunities in the television, music, and even space industries since returning to the United States from Germany. She refuses to be placed in a box, and is navigating her journey with an open mind and heart. In an exclusive interview with Examiner.com, CoCo discussed her current projects, upcoming trip to outer space, her budding DJ'ing career, and more.
EXAMINER.COM: You no longer participate in adult films, but are you still involved in the industry through party hosting or conventions?
COCO BROWN: Well I've gone to a couple of conventions but as far as being directly involved with the industry, no I'm not.
I just don't really have a big interest in always being in something... I just really have nothing to really do with that industry anymore.
The last time I went to a convention was maybe about two years ago almost, or last year... maybe the one in Berlin, that was the last one I went to, and it just was not as fun as it used to be. The fairs are smaller and it's less people.
What challenges have you faced since leaving the industry?
Well actually I haven't really had any challenges. I've been pretty lucky and it's never really been a problem for me. I guess I hear [that] here in America, a lot of girls say that they have problems and things like that, or maybe they are discriminated against somehow for being in the industry. But in Europe it's different... They liked me [laughs]; I never had any problems.
How long have you been back in the states and do you think you'll stay in New York?
Actually I've been off and on here for about the last seven months.
Permanently in New York... that I can't say. I can't say I'm going to really be permanently anywhere at this point in my life. I just kind of go with what makes me happy at that moment and what I find interesting. If the city is interesting, if the people are ok, then I'm ok for that time being [laughs].
Did you seek out the opportunity to go on a space trip or were you approached about it?
Actually I got approached for it. Just by mistake I got invited to a party in Berlin, then the people were announcing that they were doing space flights – which was kind of shocking because it was a party only for 12 people, I got invited at the last minute, I had no clue what was going on [laughs]. They gave me the opportunity to want to do something like that.
Tell me about the trip and the preparation for it.
Well the whole trip takes about an hour, an hour and a half... Just go there and come right back and I have to do training for that.
One of the [types of training] is how my body will be maneuvered in space, how to maneuver myself around and the different types of G-forces, and that would be also some of the training. Pretty much all of the different types of training – it doesn't matter if it's on an airplane or a simulator or any kind of zero G thing – it's just for us to get used to the different types of gravity pressures, or what possibly could happen while we're up there because it is only two people on the shuttle—myself and the pilot.
Do you plan to film the experience and have you decided what you're going to do during the trip?
There are cameras there but I'm sure I'm going to be able to do whatever I want also. We haven't gotten that far to talk about that, but we have been assured that there's lots of media, press, and cameras that are there. As far as what we bring ourselves, we can do that I'm sure, it just has to be cleared. Everything has to be cleared.
When is the trip?
March 2015. It's like March 22nd, something like that.
Are you able to discuss what you're working on in the television industry?
At the moment I'm working with a reality TV producer out of Los Angeles. He's doing very well but we're trying to get everything together as far as the cast and the people for the show. So far everything seems to be going well. He has constant communication with me since I'm the one with the... I guess you can say the creative rights to the show. I have to always be asked my opinion or asked, 'Hey, are we ok with this? Do we want to use these people or not?' Or they'll say, 'That [person] doesn't really match with you.'
I'm not really into so much reality television, so I'm being kind of thrown into like everything else that happens with me.
There's quite a few different networks that want to have something involved with me for this but, as I said, I was told that depending on my cast, [that will determine] the network that will pick it [up], and depending on how I choose to come across.
Where are you at with you DJ'ing career?
I'm already done with all of my training. I started from scratch, I knew nothing, but at this point I'm already set. I can perform tomorrow, but I had to get to that point where I felt ok about it. It took me about three months and lots, and lots, and lots of practice. I don't want to be an iPod DJ only. I actually want to be respected for trying to actually understand the craft of the industry. I don't want to disrespect it.
Do you have a specific career goal?
Well for my whole life, everything I've done, I've done. And I consider it all to be a career considering I've put hard work and effort into it, and I always do my best at it [whether] it was music, or exotic entertainment, or even being a stripper. I was really good at all of them.
I already have a task for myself, which I know is to be better then what I did and what I was last year. I know everyone tries to stay committed to just one thing with their life—I don't really think that's necessary. I just believe that no matter what it is that you do with yourself, as long as you're dedicated to it, and you try your best, and someone will recognize.

fishing out of my second F & F right now. They build one of the toughest boats
you can buy. F & F boats are built like a tank. They are one of the few boats
out there that can handle the tough rigors of bowfishing.Bowfishing
Addiction Guide ServiceChris Moody
( F& F) are out of Monticello Arkansas, they are IMO the best custom built
fan boats made! If you are not gettin an airboat a F&F is a good as you can
get for the money!!! Hands down!!!!!!Dustin M., Bowfishers
Of Arkansas, Ex-President 2007-09
last boat was a F&F and if I had not moved up to an airboat I would still
be beating the hell out of it!! Their boats can take it!!!! They gave us a date
on the boat and it was ready that day, and it was no 12-14 week crap either and
yes, I think they are great guys!!!!"Full Blown"
own a 16' Xpress but if and when I get a new boat, it will definitely be a F&F.
I've been to their shop and have seen several boats in different construction
phases. Those guys do quality work! They took my Xpress and removed the floor
and custom a fit another floor in it before re-painting the entire boat and trailer
for a VERY affordable price. F&F will build you whatever size you want so
you aren't limited to any standard size. IF you want it wider than a standard
18' boat, they will build it as wide as you want it. "Greyhound",
I cannot say anything else that
has not already been said about Doug and F and F. They are most down to earth
nicest people you will ever meet. All you have to do is tell Doug what you want
and they will build it. I have had two built and they where both first rate. Hard
to find another custom builder with there reputation.Neil
H. , Bossier City, LA.
If you are
looking for the best for the money then F&F is the way to go. My friend has
owned one for about a year now and I just fished off of it friday night and let
me tell you this boat is just plain awesome. He has a tunnel hull running a mercury
90 HP with a 9.9 mercury kicker with 15hp upgrade. Both motors have hydraulic
lift and tilt n trim. This boat is a pleasure to fish on. It was going all the
places my silver dollar will go except dry! But we were taking cypress trees down
up to 3" thick and went thru all kinds of grass. Sorry about going on and
on but you gotta understand just how bad this rig is. You can order it however
you want, the guys at F&F will work with you . I would opt for the 3/16"
hull like on the airboats then you can take on anything! If I wasn't in the airboat,
I'd have to be in the F&F with a kicker. Gotta give it two thumbs up very
impressed with this one. "Team
South's Finest", South CarolinaF&F
are the only way to go IMO... you get EXACTLY what you want and they are built
like tanks...If i were you i would go with F&F because you get it exactly
the way you want it and they are very well built boats......not to mention the
prices arent too bad either.Josh T. - Arkansas

When trying to get Afroman on the phone for an interview, his booking agent tells us that it'll have to wait until after he gets a new driver's license photo, having recently lost his wallet. I don't remember that specific lyric being in "Because I Got High"—maybe it was in the extended version—but it's demonstrative of how the rapper born Joseph Edgar Formean hasn't changed much since he hit the top 40 for the first and only time in 2001 with his unforgettable tale of pot-induced woe, which we just named the greatest one-hit wonder of the '00s.
Afroman, 38, has a more domestic existence with his kids in Cincinnati now, but says he still lives the life of a "full-time rapper," rocking parties, recording constantly, and yes, getting high with regularity. The proud one-hit wonder talked with us about his signature song, how it changed his life, and how he's content being "the guy who ran from the cops."
Popdust: What was your life like before "Because I Got High"?
Afroman: Struggling like everyone else, trying to come up. I got a deal in 2001, but I was balling in 2000, I was ready to go to the next level. I was booking myself, making good money. I was basically delivering parties like pizzas, I'd go out to a party, I'd rock it, I'd give out my number. I'd get four or five people from this party to call me for another party.
What was the moment of inspiration behind the song?
I guess I was just laughing at my own mistakes, just trying to have a groove. I wanted to write me like a simple, catchy song. You can have a complicated song go to number one like "Bohemian Rhapsody," but then again you can have a low-budget, goofy song like "Don't Worry Be Happy." so I kinda wanted to do my hip-hop version of "Don't Worry By Happy."
There's kind of a dark vibe to the song, considering what a fun song it is. Was that intentional?
I mean I coulda wrote a happy ending to the song, but it wouldn't have been true. If I was singing that song about me, it took its natural turn.
So how many of the lines were based on actual things that had happened to you?
Uh, let's see…clean my room, go to class, work, child support, tour, cops, the girl…uh, all of it.
All of them? Wow.
Yeah, 100%.
What do you remember about the actual recording of the song? What was it like in the studio?
I recorded it in the hood in Hattiesburg, we got this house that sits up on bricks, because it floods down in Mississippi. I was in the back of my room, and I had a digital 8-track, and I had a dirty sock that I put around the microphone with a rubberband, and made the best song of my life in that raggedy shack. [Laughs.]
So are all the voices on the record your voice?
Yes. I got hip to that early on as a child, I noticed a lot of artists that would overdub. Smokey Robinson does it, Marvin Gaye does it…Too $hort did it, one time he had a rap song and it sounded like he was from outer space. He used to mess with me a little bit, coz I didn't know why two people was talking, but they both sounded the same. So I always wanted to make people think it was someone other than me. I wanted it to kind of be like a rap Eddie Murphy Nutty Professor, when he plays all the different roles.
Were you high during the recording of the song?
Ah, yeah man, yeah!! I was chain smoking kush blunts back then, so even if I wasn't high, I was high.
Do you mind that this is the thing you're most associated with, these stoner jams?
No, I don't mind. What I realized is, people want what they want. When I go to McDonald's, I want a Big Mac. I don't want Mac Sushi.
A lot of people know Afroman for "Because I Got High." So I respect that. Like, I don't want Michael Jackson to go to the mall and buy some new outfits. I want him to keep that "Beat It" jacket, I want to keep him in the penny loafers…When I do Afroman, I do what the people want. And then maybe sing a couple of new songs, 'coz that's all my crowd would usually tolerate.
A concert is a celebration of what you know. You go to a rock concert…they're all excited about singing the songs that they know the words to. [Sings] "SHOT TO THE HEART, AND YOU'RE TO BLAME!" Nobody wants to hear a new Bon Jovi song. Not tonight, dammit!
Have you ever tried to play a sit that didn't include "Because I Got High"?
No, that's suicide! [Laughs]. You think Tina Turner would try getting up there without singing "What's Love Got to Do With It"? And I'm proud of that song! If I gotta be a one-hit wonder, you mark me down for that one. I went to school with the guys who sang "I Swear," All-4-One—and I love 'em, they some cool cats—but at the end of the day, I'd rather be the guy who ran from the cops. I'm a musical streaker, I had more fun than any of these other musicians.
How did your life change after the song broke big?
You know, I'm good, I'm out here, I can work without working. I'm in the game, I'm a Pro-Bowl rapper. That's all I wanted to be. I wanted to be a known name, and be able to make a living and do what I love.
You still make a living off your music? No day job or anything like that?
No, man, I am a full-time rapper. And I'm ready to do some movies, and invent some other characters. Like I got a gospel side, and I invented this character called J. Edgar. So when I wanna go sing my gospel songs…which an Afroman crowd wouldn't tolerate, and I don't blame 'em, 'coz if I was an Afroman fan I wouldn't want to hear too much "Amazing Grace" without some "Colt .45″ every now and then. So I'm doing this music thing, and I spend a little time with my kids when I get a chance, and I'm happy with it.
Did the kind of pot you were able to buy change after you hit it big? Are you smoking better shit now?
Aww, yeah man! Hands down. And it comes free, like Jesus or something.
Are your fans constantly harassing you to get high after your shows?
Aw man, all the time, all the time!
I'm from the hood, so that's like the ultimate respect. I'd rather people offer me weed than be the President of the United States.
How much would you say that you smoke every day?
Uh, It comes and goes. I think I do more on tour than I do at home. When I go home, I drink a bottle of water, ride a bike, hang out with my kids…when I go out on tour, I start getting nervous about if we have this chord or that chord, what time I go on, where is the hotel, next thing you know I need to just kinda calm down and relax, and blast.
You were nominated for a Grammy for the song. Did you go to the awards?
Yes I did. It was monumental and at the same time, not my style. I was happy to just experience it, just to brush off my shoulders and say "I got nominated for the Grammys, joke's on you…" I had a nice bowtie and stuff on, it was funny. But at the end of the day, I'd rather be in a hot, sweaty bar somewhere.
Do you have an all-time favorite one-hit wonder yourself?
Uh, I think about Freddie Jackson, but he got "You Are My Lady," but then he got "Rock Me Tonight." He got two hits. Then Cyndi Lauper, I'm thinking she only got "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun," but then she got "She Bop…"
Yeah, she had a bunch.
Let's just say Bobby McFerrin, "Don't Worry Be Happy."

text: An Offer You Can't Refuse: Murdering journalists as an enforcement mechanism of corrupt deals Volume 5 Jena Economic Research Papers 2011-03-21 2011 2007 2011-014 corruption rent-seeking murder Anecdotal evidence suggests that journalists and bureaucrats in some countries are killed when they try to blow the whistle on corruption. We demonstrate in a simple game-theoretical model how murders can serve as an enforcement mechanism of corrupt deals under certain regime assumptions. Testing the main implications in an unbalanced panel of 179 countries observed through three periods, we find that corruption is strongly related to the incidence of murders on journalists in countries with almost full press freedom. While our results provide evidence that journalists are killed for corrupt reasons, they also suggest that some countries may have to go through violent periods when seeking to secure full freedom for the press. jportal_jpjournal_00000016 2011-03-22T13:32:27.358Z 2011-03-22T13:30:58.386Z

If you've been lackadaisical about getting your cholesterol checked because you watch your weight, don't have heart problems, and think you're too young to worry about a heart attack, a panel of 27 heart-disease experts has a harsh message for you and others equally casual. Under tough cholesterol guidelines rolled out last week, many people will find that they are now considered to be at far greater risk of a heart attack than they were under the old version. The new report recommends that they and their doctors take decisive steps to lower the risk.
If everyone heeded the new recommendations, some 65 million people would alter their diet, up from 52 million under the previous guidelines, which date from 1993. Cholesterol-lowering medications, especially the class called statins, get wholehearted approval after years of advice to prescribe them gingerly. The guidelines call for 36 million people to take them, compared with 13 million currently. "We ought to address high cholesterol very aggressively," says James Cleeman, coordinator of the National Cholesterol Education Program, a coalition of public and private groups that developed the guidelines. "So it's not necessary to be reticent about recommending aggressive therapy, meaning drugs."
The urgency behind the report's dry language is unmistakable. Panel members had spent 20 months combing through stacks of studies that collectively showed that oversize waistlines, little exercise, and cholesterol levels that generally are still too high pose an even greater risk than had been thought. If all Americans lived by the guidelines, says Cleeman, the overall death rate would drop by an estimated 30 percent.
Even if you don't need a prescription, the recommendations will certainly change the way you--and your doctor--think about cholesterol, from when and how often it should be checked to ways of treating it if it's high.
You are experiencing chest pain, shortness of breath, rapid pounding heartbeats, sweating, and a feeling of impending doom. You're a mess. You've tried to reason with yourself that you're only having, say, a panic attack—not a heart attack. After all, panic attacks are certainly common; many of us have experienced them at one time or another. You've read a few articles and talked with your friends. The body reacts to anxiety by producing stress hormones, and it's these stress hormones that are causing your symptoms, right?
But your chest continues to burn; dizziness, weakness, nausea, and severe indigestion (along with a heightened sense of anxiety) are flooding over you. Are you having a panic attack or a heart attack?
Both can display similar symptoms, and panic attacks are nothing to scoff at. But symptoms that last for more than two or three minutes, or pain that leaves and then returns, could signal a heart attack. Only by having testing can a correct diagnosis be made. You decide to go see your doctor—or maybe even go to the emergency room—because you can't talk yourself into believing you're having a panic attack. Good for you!
Exercise can improve symptoms of depression and anxiety. Even small amounts of exercise help. These realistic tips and goals can help you get started and stick with it.
If you have depression or anxiety, you might find your doctor prescribing a regular dose of exercise in addition to medication or psychotherapy. Exercise isn't a cure for depression or anxiety. But its psychological and physical benefits can improve your symptoms.
There is a link between heart disease and depression. Depressed postmenopausal women have a 50% greater risk of developing or dying from heart disease than those who are not depressed, raising the possibility that treating the mind could help the body fight cardiovascular ills. This finding came from a four-year government study of 100,000 women across the United States. What is most striking is that depression was found to be an independent risk factor for subsequent cardiovascular death. Obviously, volatile emotions such as anger and hostility are bad for your heart's health. But studies have also shown that some of the quieter emotions can be just as toxic and damaging. Dr. Dean Ornish said, "Study after study has shown that people who feel lonely, depressed, and isolated are many times more likely to get sick and die prematurely, not only of heart disease but from virtually all causes, than those who have a sense of connection, love, and community."

Overstock.com announced that the online retailer has surpassed $1,000,000 in sales paid by Bitcoin since launching the partnership in January.
During the program's first 50 days, more than 4,000 customers made purchases with Bitcoin on Overstock.com. The average order size for the purchases was $226, which is 34% higher than non-Bitcoin purchases. More than half of all customers paying in Bitcoin were first-time buyers on the site.
Net profitability for Overstock.com improved as well, with processing fee for Bitcoin transactions averaging less than 1% compared to 2.2% plus $0.20 for credit card transactions. For a low-margin, high volume business like Overstock.com, these savings are substantial.
"There's clearly a huge community of people who support this. Our customer service lines are going nuts with people who appreciate this," said Patrick Byrne, Overstock.com chairman and CEO.

Amhof Trucking, Inc. has its roots in Iowa agriculture. We began in 1975 as part of the Amhof family farming operation in Eldridge, Iowa with one truck hauling grain to the Mississippi River grain terminals in eastern Iowa. In the late 1970's, and early 1980's the company expanded into hauling agricultural equipment from the manufacturers in eastern Iowa and western Illinois to other midwestern states. As this venture began to flourish more tractors and trailers were added to keep up with the demand.
In the mid 1980's the agricultural industry in the Midwest fell into an economic slump. As a result of this slowdown, Amhof began to diversify into hauling other types of freight which required different types of trailers and drivers of different expertise. This was the beginning of a new era for Amhof Trucking - the era of seeking out and providing the services for which local shippers were looking. Amhof began to gear up to haul the commodities that the local shippers were having trouble moving. Expansion began occurring in areas that other trucking companies were neglecting - the special commodities that require special attention, highly trained drivers and specialized equipment. New and different types of equipment were developed and built to haul the unusual types of commodities that the shippers were producing.
As a result, Amhof Trucking has experienced conservative and controlled growth to a current size of 85 tractors and over 250 trailers of various types to accomodate the demand of our shippers. We have become known to many of our shippers with special needs as the only transportation company that is willing to meet their expectations.
Amhof Trucking is indeed a special company that dedicates itself to providing the type of service that a shipper requires. No matter what special equipment is necessary to perform the task - overwidth, overlength, overweight or overseas - Amhof is up to the challenge.
Amhof Trucking is dedicated to safe and reliable truck transportation and service to our customers is our prime objective. We have dedicated ourselves to always providing our customers with reliable service - every time.

"Resurrection" premiered on ABC Sunday night offering a dark side of life, one that many may have wondered about in the past. Everyone has lost someone they love, so just the thought of them showing up at your front door after years of being dead and buried takes your breath away.
But does it take your breath away because it is creepy or does it give you a sense of joy? Probably a little of both, which makes it very unsettling when it happens to the people of Arcadia, Missouri in ABC's new show "Resurrection."
Called "the living end" and "fascinating" by the Boston Herald on March 9, the creepy factor mixes in with rejoicing for the folks whose loved ones have returned from the dead. You can't help put yourself in these folks' place when their dead family member shows up as if nothing ever happened.
"Resurrection" showed the first of their returned dead through the eyes of a couple who is in their 60's last night. Their eight-year-old son who died 35 years ago comes back to life looking like the last day they saw him alive.
Fearful at first to touch him, the mother eventually goes overboard with the affection and the father steps into an almost cold place when it comes to dealing with this little boy calling him dad. This boy looks like his son and knows things only his little son could know, but how could this happen?
The mystery continues as others return as episodes of "Resurrection" are offered each week. A father returns home to his grown children who are now only a few years younger than him. This is a fascinating concept especially as most would think bringing a dead loved one back to life would be filled with joy, but the opposite is also seen because it is feared as unnatural.
The eight-year-old boy wakes up in rural China submerged in a rice patty. He makes his way back home with the help of an immigration officer and a caring immigration officer at that! What this guy, played by "House's" Omar Epps, discovers is that this kid was dead and buried for 35 years until now and not only is this shocking to his family, but Marty (Epps) is also trying to wrap his head around this. The mystery gets deeper after DNA tests put the 60-year-old couple as the boys biological parents.
"Resurrection" has so much potential and it is now a Sunday night destination as folks are anxiously awaiting for the next episode. Check it out, you won't be sorry that you did.

Hi, I'm encountering the same problem as Faith (whose post was marked as resolved without further comment).
I have run the plugin multiple times, and confirmed that the new full image size has been created in my FTP. But the images in all of my posts are still the wrong size. (You can see here how my images are extending past the width set by the theme).
Is a feature of the plugin that the source links of the images will automatically update to the new size, or is this something I must update manually?
Basically, am I encountering a problem with updating links, or was this not a feature of the plugin to begin with?
Thank you.

When I try to nano something on my server I'm getting this error "Error opening terminal: xterm-256color." that I've never seen before, and on top of that nano used to work fine last week. Even when I use vi, the file will open but I can't manipulate using normal vi commands. When I press
i to activate insert mode and then try to navigate the document, it just types an
A or
B or something.
The only thing that changed is I lost my private key and had to generate a new one, so I had to upload the new public key to my server. Anyone know why this is happening?
The server is running Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy.
Open Terminal, select from the menu Terminal > Preferences > Settings > Advanced and under Emulation select "Declare terminal as: xterm-color not xterm-256color"

Earlier this week Petco and PetSmart announced their plan to pull from their shelves all pet treats made in China. With others sure to follow suit, many pet owners are wondering what treats are still safe.
In their May 20 press release, Petco offered this suggestion: "Pet parents looking for alternatives to China-made dog or cat treats will find a broad selection of USA-made products at Petco from brands like American Jerky, Blue Buffalo, Blue Ridge Naturals, Canidae, Colorado Naturals, Dogswell, Isle of Dog, Merrick, Natural Balance, Nature's Variety, Prairie Dog, Zuke's and more."
You know what else is made in the U.S.A.? Whatever you make in your own kitchen.
Renowned dog trainer Cesar Milan cites the following benefits of homemade treats:
- Control what goes into the recipe. You can ensure that your pet is getting a nutritious and wholesome snack. You can also tailor your dog treat recipes to your dog's taste preferences as well as cater to any dietary restrictions.
- Prevent unhealthy additives. Many brands of commercial dog treats are filled with preservatives, which help to extend their shelf life. In addition, store bought treats are often made from fillers and byproducts as opposed to natural and high quality ingredients. By creating your own treats at home, you will be able to provide your dog with a healthy snack that is not only nutritious but is also free of unhealthy additives.
Even homemade treats can be unsafe if not handled properly. Keep in mind any allergies that your pet has to specific ingredients. Store treats in an airtight container in the freezer where they can last for up to 6 months. Thaw at least 10 minutes before serving.
Ready to get started? Here are two of Cesar Milan's recipes that look paw-sitively yummy (if you're a dog).
Frozen Peanut Butter Yogurt Dog Treats
Melt 1 cup of peanut butter in a microwave safe bowl. Combine the melted peanut butter with 32 ounces of vanilla yogurt and freeze in muffin tins.
Basic Dog Biscuits
- 2 ½ cups whole wheat flour (substitute regular flour or oats if your dog is sensitive to wheat)
- 1 tsp. salt (or less)
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp. beef or chicken bouillon granules (can substitute beef or chicken broth/stock)
- ½ cup hot water
Optional Add ins:
- Bacon or chicken broth, eggs, oats, wheat germ, shredded cheese, bacon bits
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Dissolve bouillon in hot water
- Add remaining ingredients
- Knead dough until it forms a ball (approximately 3 minutes)
- Roll dough until ½ inch thick
- Cut into slices or shapes
- Place dough pieces on lightly greased cookie sheet
- Bake for 30 minutes
The next time you need to restock on treats, you may find all you need right at home. So grab an apron, raid your pantry and see what happens. Your dog will thank you!

The Spain international defender, who played alongside the England forward at Manchester United, believes his former team-mate could be a huge success at Camp NouBarcelona defender Gerard Pique is convinced former Manchester United team-mate Wayne Rooney would be a great fit for the Catalan giants, were he to leave Old Trafford this summer.
Speculation surrounding the England international's future has been rife after retired United boss Sir Alex Ferguson revealed that Rooney had requested a transfer away from the club.
|Wayne Rooney is 14/1 with Coral to join Barcelona
"I know he has what's needed to be one of the three best players in the world. He'd fit well with Barcelona," Pique told Sport.
"He can adapt to many positions. He's best as the centre-forward, but we have seen him on the left or right side.
"He is very versatile, strong, fast and has great technique. I don't think he would have any problems adapting."
Rooney, who scored 12 league goals in 26 appearances last season, returned to Carrington for pre-season training on Wednesday ahead of talks with David Moyes to decide his United future.

Duration: 1hr 42min
For centuries a secret Order has existed within the Church. Following a series of unexplained murders, renegade priest Father Alex Bernier begins an investigation that hurls him into a maelstrom of unimaginable evil, murder and the knowledge that there is a fate worse than death. Father Bernier's search takes him to The Sin Eater--a key figure in this mysterious and ancient Order. The immortal Sin Eater's role is nothing less than playing God on earth by absolving the unforgivable of their sins outside the Church, allowing greater evil to go unpunished. Burdened by centuries of evil, the Sin Eater craves the luxury of death. But who will eat his sins and grant eternal peace? Who will carry on his dark tradition and continue the work of the Order? As the young priest uncovers the answers and pursues these paragons of evil, he fights to save his own soul and that of troubled artist Mara, the woman he loves.

Suspend minting all current denominations (except for NIFC issues) until there is a legitimate need for replacement coinage. I bet if the mint issued no new cents, nickels, dimes, or quarters for two years, no one other than collectors would even notice. Kill the $1 bill and get those bags of Presidential Dollars out in curculation where they belong, but keep them NIFC after that and just mint Native American dollars for circulation.

When dismay is a front-runner
WASHINGTON — On Jan. 20, 1981, Michael Deaver, a political aide, peered into a bedroom in Blair House, across from the White House, and said to the man still abed, "It's 8 o'clock. You're going to be inaugurated as president in a few hours." From beneath the blankets, Ronald Reagan said, "Do I have to?"
Some are so eager to be inaugurated in 2017, the 2016 campaign has begun 28 months before the 1.4 percent of Americans who live in Iowa and New Hampshire express themselves. It is, therefore, not too soon to get a head start on being dismayed. Consider two probable candidates.

Re: Atheistic Maxwellian: Hannes Alfven

Thanks for all the random text, but did you have an actual point?
3 points.
Hannes Alfven (Dec. 11, 1970 Nobel Lecture for the Physics Prize):
The hetegonic processes took place 4 to 5 billion years ago. The evolution
of the primary product of these processes into our present-day solar system
has consisted of a number of relatively slow changes: geological forces have
transformed the structure of the planets, tidal effects have braked the
spins of some of the bodies (especially of the satellites), collisions have
taken place in the asteroidal belt, and there have been meteor impacts on
the planetary surfaces, etc. All these effects are important for the
reconstruction of the state of the system immediately after the hetegonic
processes ended. It is only after « correcting » for them that the solar
system data we observe today are of value for the reconstruction of the
hetegonic processes.
It was the question why the wanderers - the planets - moved as they did that
triggered off the scientific avalanche several hundred years ago. ... We now
ask how to go there, and we also ask how these bodies once were formed. And
if the night sky on which we observe them is at a high latitude, outside
this lecture hall - perhaps over a small island in the archipelago of
Stockholm - we may also see in the sky an aurora, which is a cosmic plasma,
reminding us of the time when our world was born out of plasma. Because in
the beginning was the plasma.
~~Plasma Physics, Space Research and the Origin of the Solar System
Hannes Alfven pontificated on the big stage and pleased the world by
contradicting the second law of thermodynamics, no different than the Big
Bang physicists he correctly opposed.
James Clerk Maxwell:
Admitting heat to be a form of energy, the second law asserts that it is
impossible, by the unaided action of natural processes, to transform any
part of the heat of a body into mechanical work, except by allowing heat to
pass from that body into another at a lower temperature.
~~Theory of Heat (1871)
The second law is a statistical law.
Maurice Allais:
Nature doesn't leave any room to chance and all is determined by cause
and effect relationships. What's called hazard is nothing but a
representation of our ignorance. But the permanent nature of the statistical
laws shows the existence of a hidden order.
~~About the Aether Concept (2003)
[Note: Plasma fluid is also gross matter, unlike aether fluid, about
which we know little, that it is perfect or ideal fluid, i.e.
and zero viscosity; aether is mathematically accounted for by dealing
with aether vortices, or rotating positron-electron dipoles, in every
of which aether fluid circulates and each positron and each electron
consist of localized aether fluid, spinning also. The Holy Ghost
to me on Sep. 4th that David Tombe's rotational positron-electron
explanation of Maxwell's 1861 electromagnetism paper on the
'molecular' vortex model is correct. Thus I bear record.]
David Tombe:
A mysterious aethereal fluid seems to be pouring in from elsewhere in the
Toby Grotz, a U.S. electrical engineer:
A review of the well known biographies by Cheney, Hunt and Draper, and
O'Neil [3], [4], [5], reveal no mention of Tesla's knowledge of Sanskrit.
O'Neal however includes the following excerpt from an unpublished article
called Man's Greatest Achievement:
"There manifests itself in the fully developed being , Man, a desire
mysterious, inscrutable and irresistible: to imitate nature, to create, to
work himself the wonders he perceives.... Long ago he recognized that all
perceptible matter comes from a primary substance, or tenuity beyond
conception, filling all space, the Akasha or luminiferous ether, which is
acted upon by the life giving Prana or creative force, calling into
existence, in never ending cycles all things and phenomena. The primary
substance, thrown into infinitesimal whirls of prodigious velocity, becomes
gross matter; the force subsiding, the motion ceases and matter disappears,
reverting to the primary substance."
According to Leland Anderson the article was written May 13th, 1907.
Anderson also suggested that it was through association with Swami
Vivekananda that Tesla may have come into contact with Sanskrit terminology
and that John Dobson of the San Francisco Sidewalk Astronomers Association
had researched that association. [6]
5. O'Neal, John, J., Prodigal Genius, The Life Of Nikola Tesla, Ives
Washington, Inc., 1944.
6. Anderson, Leland, personal communication. See also Anderson, L.I., and
Ratzlaff, J.T., Dr. Nikola Tesla Bibliography, Ragusan Press, 936 Industrial
Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94303, 1979.
David Tombe in one of his papers quotes O'Neill (different spelling) with
the Grotz attribution, the above words about Tesla's view of the aether
"My second discovery was of a physical truth of the greatest importance. As
I have searched the entire scientific records in more than a half dozen
languages for a long time without finding the least anticipation, I consider
myself the original discoverer of this truth, which can be expressed by the
statement: There is no energy in matter other than that received from the
environment." - Nikola Tesla
Clearly, Tesla the inventor of the AC motor wasn't the first to grasp this
essential concept, for Joseph Smith and Brigham Young and James Clerk
Maxwell all understood this; so do Art Bulla and Maurice Allais now; Father
Abraham understood this before them all. (But I'm guessing if Tesla were
alive, he would agree with Alfven on Evolution, not only on the primary
importance of electrodynamics.)
Feynman and Alfven had two contradictory things in common, keen scientific
intellect and belief in Evolution; these two Nobelists worshipped two
gods -- for Feynman, his own neocortex, and for Alfven, space plasma (acting
on its own), or Thor.
Brigham Young:
You can find in the minds of the people most admirable intelligence in
things pertaining to the world; but when you touch the intelligence that
pertains to other worlds, to the kingdom of heaven and heavenly things, they
are dark as midnight darkness--so dark as this, that, let ever so good a
thing be revealed to them, no matter how good for a nation, a people, a
community, or an individual--let a man have it revealed to him how he can
benefit the whole nation, they turn around and deny God in it. They are so
dark as that, when they never received a particle of intelligence but what
came from God. They are filled with darkness.
Instead of wishing injuries to come on them, my heart is pained for them
when I behold their situation.
~~Journal of Discourses, Vol.5, Pg.126, August 9, 1857
16 Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the
potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not?
or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no
(Old Testament | Isaiah 29:16)
The aether vortex idea originated with the Bernoullis and Euler (the latter
a devout Christian), then applied to describe electromagnetic phenomena by
Helmholtz and Kelvin and then Maxwell, who succeeded at last (the latter two
of these three were devout Christians).
12 For the foundation of matter, is it not spirit, saith the Lord God?
13 And all things are spiritual in nature, even unto me, saith the Lord God
of Enoch and Moses.
Revelations of Jesus Christ 20:12-13
Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, Section Six 1843-44 Pg.350:
Meaning of the Word Create
.... the word create came from the baurau which does not mean to
create out of nothing; it means to organize; the same as a man would
organize materials and build a ship. Hence, we infer that God had materials
to organize the world out of chaos -- chaotic matter, which is element, and
in which dwells all the glory. Element had an existence from the time he
had. The pure principles of element are principles which can never be
destroyed; they may be organized and re-organized, but not destroyed. They
had no beginning, and can have no end.
59 For the foundation of matter, saith the Lord, is spirit, and matter is
controlled and handled upon principles which are spiritual in nature.
60 And the light which shineth, which giveth you light, is through him who
enlighteneth your eyes, which is the same light that quickeneth your
understandings; Which light proceedeth forth from the presence of God to
fill the immensity of space, the light which is in all things, which giveth
life to all things, which is the law by which all things are governed, even
the power of God who sitteth upon his throne, who is in the bosom of
eternity, who is in the midst of all things.
61 And if your eye be single to my glory, saith the Lord, your whole bodies
shall be filled with light, and there shall be no darkness in you, if it so
be that ye are obedient unto mine ordinances, and that body which is filled
with light becometh a body Celestial which is compared to the sun in the
glory thereof, and that body comprehendeth all things, saith the Lord.
62 For behold after it is that ye have exercised your faith to plant the
seed that ye have begun to taste of the light, ye must not lay aside your
faith, saith the Lord, for ye have only tried the experiment to know if the
seed was good.
63 For behold, as the tree beginneth to grow, ye will say: Let us nourish it
with great care, that it may get root, that it may grow up, and bring forth
fruit unto us.
64 And now behold, if ye nourish it with much care it will get root, and
grow up, and bring forth much fruit.
Revelations of Jesus Christ 8:59-64
49 And there were none greater in intelligence among the sons of God from
before the foundation of the world, that Satan could not deceive him as he
hath thee, O man, with his lies and cunning craftiness and thy unstable mind
and heart, yea for his intelligence, which is the light of truth, he cannot
be deceived by him, saith the Lord, and he is the stone spoken of by Isaiah
in the 28th chapter, which should be laid in Sion, tried and precious by me,
his Father.
Revelations of Jesus Christ 24:49
So read Bulla, my teacher Art Bulla, for like Euler and Maxwell and Smith
and Young, he is the master of us all, pertaining to this generation.

Economic Importance for Humans: Positive
The current economic importance of this whale is questionable. However, in the past, these large whales provided a great deal of income to the whaling industry. It cannot be stressed enough, however, that the positive economic effects of hunting this animal have been acheived only by large scale decimation of Sei whale populations. By overharvesting the whales, the whaling industry experienced a short term economic gain at a long term cost-- the reduction in the number of whales available for harvest.

Quentin Tarantino had a profound impact on his fellow filmmakers during the 1990s – a profoundly bad one.
Every other director tried to mimic Tarantino's style, and most did it poorly.
Could today's directors do the same with Guy Ritchie?
If so, the first official example is Randall Miller's "Nobel Son," a dark indie comedy that looks, sounds … and smells like something out of Ritchie's Lock-Stock-RocknRolla imagination.
Alan Rickman stars as Professor Eli Michaelson, an arrogant science professor who just found out he's won the Nobel Prize. But before he can accept the award, he learns his ne'er do well son, Barkley (Bryan Greenberg), has been kidnapped and the family must pony up $2 million to get him back alive.
Professor Michaelson seems more put off by his celebration being short-lived than the chance he may never see his son again.
The kidnapping is just part of a much bigger plot which includes multiple perfect crimes, some nasty business involving severed thumbs and a few unresolved daddy issues.
"Nobel Son" defies being taken at face value. Little of the story makes sense on the surface, and the bleakly comic aspects only intensify the film's surreal side.
And boy, is it loud. Punishing music kicks in every other scene, as the camera bobs and weaves around its colorful cast.
It's boorish and illogical, but never call it dull. The gifted cast, including Mary Steenburgen, Bill Pullman, Danny De Vito and Ted Danson, keeps the action at the highest professional level. A story so full of holes needs all hands on deck to keep this sinking ship afloat.
"Nobel Son" is the polar opposite to Miller's recent film, "Bottle Shock." That indie told a sweet little story about a tiny winery that bested the big boys. There's nothing remotely sweet about "Nobel Son."
