Rated 5 out of 5 by JamZZ The ideal hotel for La Mostra del Cinema I am staying already for few years during the Venice Film Festival in The Westin Europa & Regina Hotel.I am very satisfied with the service and the concierge desk is excellent and very helpful.The location is perfect on the Canal and you have direct link to the Lido. September 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Hallam Outstanding in every way. We stayed in the terrace room and found it to be faultless. I've stayed in many luxury hotels around the world and found the Regina to be up there, if not the best. September 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by OTraveller Great Hotel, Great Location, Wonderful Staff. In August 2014 I stayed at the Westin Europa and Regina in Venice with my wife and here we celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary and my wife's 60th birthday. We were hoping for something special and we were not disappointed. The hotel was superb, and the setting was magnificent. It is perhaps the most beautiful setting of any hotel in Venice with views from the lovely terrace across the Grand Canal to San Salute one way or the lagoon and San Giorgio Magiore the other way – oh and go out of the hotels entrance and within minutes you are in Piazza San Marco, at the lovely Teatro Le Fenice or on your way to the Rialto or Academia. The hotel itself I cannot fault. The public areas, in particular the dining room, the adjacent terrace and the lovely bar – all looking out onto the Grand Canal – are superb with beautiful views. And a real plus for this hotel are the staff – they are, without exception, superb. The bar is a great example with staff who provide a great service to all – and magnificent leadership from the senior guy at the bar (Giorgio I think). Also the people in the dining room were superb, especially the guy who was in charge on our first couple of days at the hotel. But I have to say that your first impression at the hotel is perhaps the most important – reception. On this and a previous occasion we had been really fortunate to be dealt with by a member of staff whose name I think was Adriano – if I got this wrong my apologies! He set the tone perfectly making you feel at home straight away and yet in a very professional way (thank you for your help!!!) – and I have to say his colleagues were likewise really helpful. We would not hesitate in recommending the hotel to anyone – we have never been disappointed but have always been delighted. Thanks to everyone for a great stay – we are looking forward to returning next year! September 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Damita31614 Great Service and hotel I would like to thank the manager (Attilio Dallas Mura) of this hotel who behaved very professional during our stay where we encountered a problem in our room. Attilio Dallas Mura handled our situation very well and treated us with consideration. He took a good care of us and felt that we really matter. I will never forget this hotel and will always recommended it. August 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JFPhilly Heart of Venice My wife and I thoroughly enjoy our 5 nights at the Westin Europa and Regina. It is convieniently located being only a 4 minute walk from San Marco square. The room was awesome and the staff was great. I look forward to staying there again. August 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by K226 Lovely hotel, great location This hotel has all the Westin features one would expect, like the Heavenly Bed, but is close in elegance and amenities to a Luxury Collection hotel. It is centrally located, close to St. Mark's Square. It has its own convenient dock for transportation to the train station or airport, and is not far from vaporetto stops. While the birds will try to get your food, it is delightful to sit by the canal for breakfast or another meal. The staff are pleasant and helpful, with particular thanks to Andrea at the front desk who assigned us very nice rooms and willingly helped with any request. My two suggestions for improvement: 1. The elevators are VERY slow. Only one appeared to be working. We discovered and took advantage of the staff elevator. 2. The room was not made up until very late in the day, when at times we would have liked to have a little rest after a long day of walking. Starwood has several hotels in Venice; this one is a good value and well worth considering. August 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by loveVenice Great staff and service, great location, great property We stayed for three nights using reward points. I am a platinum member and submitted a suite upgrade request several months before our arrival. Instead of the "typical" upgrade to a one bedroom suite, I requested a "lesser" room with a canal view and small balcony. I received emails from the hotel acknowledging the request, as well as informing me when all such rooms were sold out before my arrival. When we checked in, we were given an upgrade to a lovely one bedroom suite. We also found out a canal view room was available for the last night of our stay, and the staff reserved this room for us and had our bags moved to this room when it became available. I have stayed at this hotel once before, and both times have enjoyed: --the huge breakfast selection, kind service and great views on the Grand Canal terrace --smiling and pleasant staff (front desk, breakfast service, conceirge, housekeeping) who speak English (helpful given my very limited Italian) --rooms and main areas with a nice decor, very clean and well kept --rooms with great bathrooms, air conditioning, and blackout blinds! Both stays have been simply delightful experiences, and I will stay again at this convenient Starwood location when in Venice again. August 17, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Amir50 Venice 2014 This is a beautiful hotel, and we had an amazing suite although we had a view of a wall. The breakfast was wonderful and it is located centrally to everything. The only thing was that the staff wasn't the friendliest I have seen! The service was great but their attitudes were unhappy and unfriendly. August 17, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Joel29 Disappointing for a Westin Very small "Grand Deluxe King room". Tiny bathroom. Great location. Friendly staff. Very poor room service. Very poor wifi (not free to Starwood members). No water in room. August 15, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by middx42 Disappointing check in As Tour Manager for a group of 60, I was disappointed many of our rooms were not ready and check in was not completed until nearly 5.00pm - well after the 3.00pm published check in time. The attitude of some (I repeat, some) of the front desk staff left a lot to be desired. August 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rmac66 Incredible property and incredible staff We stayed at the Westin during our visit to Venice. The staff was every friendly and helpful during out entire stay - always smiling and willing to engage. The hotel itself is beautiful and overlooks the Grand Canal. The bar area and restuarant both have incredible views of the canal. Our room was incredibly spacious with a great view of the canal and the hotel had prepared our room to perfection for our arrival. We had one small issue during our stay that was not only corrected quickly but the duty manager went beyond my expectations and more than erased the issue from our minds. Truly this level of customer service and commitment shows the professionalism the entire staff seem to show. Even on our departure we stopped to grab a quick lunch and the young server made sure our food arrived promptly so we could enjoy it in the limited time we had. My sons and I loved Venice and our experience at the Europa & Regina only added to our fun. I highly recommend staying. August 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Flanders This hotel suits every need! Perfectly located, near San Marco, but off the beaten track, away from the crowds. Ecstatic views starting with delicious breakfast buffet on the Grand Canal, or spectacular canal side bar for light meals and drinks, day & night. An additional magnificent terrace from which to watch the boats go by at any hour, write your postcards or meet with friends. Spacious room with comfortable bedding and large, airy, functional bathroom. Impeccably maintained and serviced. Highly professional & polite staff with the invaluable plus of a concierge with connections! August 11, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Wendy19 Perfection We had a canal room with a balcony. It was the most amazing hotel. To arrive in the lobby by water taxi was amazing. The view from our room amazing. The staff and their attentiveness - yes, amazing. Would recommend and would stay again. Thank you Europa for a wonderful stay in Venice. August 11, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by Dafos2 Hotel review. Best place to stay in Venice. They treated us like kings and queens. My expectations were exceeded by 1000%! I requested certain room features and was upgraded beyond anything I could have imagined. Pays to be a SPG member. You have my loyalty for life. August 8, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by reb124 SPG Rewards as second class guest This was my second visit to this hotel after a very favorable first stay. We were using reward points for this vacation stay of 4 nights. We were given a very poor room, with practically no storage space for clothes. When i asked for a better room, I was told that the better rooms were reserved for cash paying guests. Thus, we were considered second class. We were finally given a better room on the second day, but no room amenities were provided. Upon leaving after 4 days i expressed my frustration again and was given a partial credit on my bar bill. August 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Txrascle Great hotel We had a terrace room with a perfect view over the Grand Canal. The service, staff, food, and location could not have been better. Francesca, who checked us in and showed us to our room was delightful. Thanks to everyone at the hotel---you really made our stay great. August 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Foka Elegant comfort Westin Europa and Regina Hotel have exceeded our expectations by far. From the moment we entered this elegant property we knew it was going to be a wonderful stay.The beauty and comfort of the magnificent suite, with the extraordinary view of the Grand Canal, was designed to please even the most demanding guest.We had pleasant experiences with the staff throughout the Hotel. August 1, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by custagea Short stay Was only there for 1 night - location is absolutely perfect. I suppose because it is a building in Venice built several hundred years ago, you wouldn't find the features that exist in other category 6 hotels. The décor was beautiful, room was spacious, staff friendly. July 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by dss2606 Fairy tale stay This is the nicest hotel we have stayed in Venice, having stayed on many previous occasions. The breakfast, the ambiance, the décor and the staff were exceptional. Breakfast on the Grande Canal opposite the church of Santa Maria is the stuff of which dreams are made. July 25, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by JAlbert54 Unexpected Surprise I had booked two nights with SPG points not knowing what to expect. We arrived to find out that Venice was having one of the most important festivals of the year ,The Redeemer. with a spectacular fireworks display planned. We had asked about the festival at check in time, but made no specific request about a room, and when we returned when our room was ready, we had been upgraded to a canal facing room with a balcony on the 4th floor. It was probably the best vantage point to watch the celebration in the City and the room was beautiful. To say the least our expectations were far surpassed. I truly felt that my loyalty had been rewarded. An Amazing experience! July 21, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by JShone Staff Responsiveness When checking in I was waiting at the SPG preferred lane, but no one greeted me, as if i were not there at all. It was not until other quests kindly reminded the staff that I was waiting the staff turned over and summoned me to come to the counter where she was. This was rather unprofessional and rude. July 20, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by FritzL Needs Work The pre-arrival help, regarding parking and getting to the hotel, was unsatisfactory, no porter on arrival, check in was perfunctory and receptionist did not act like she was welcoming an SPG Platinum member. Concierges appeared more interested in their chats and making 'phone calls than actually dealing with guests, who were kept waiting. Room location and terrace were lovely, but air-conditioning, tv and power points require significant improvement. Hotel location is excellent, within easy walking distance of major attractions, and the taxi service (free) to Murano is exceptional. Restaurant, bar and housekeeping staff were excellent, and the food is fantastic! July 19, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by TravelingEurope Venice, Italy Europa Room was spacious, clean, and tastefully decorated. Staff was attentive, though at times a bit direct. Location of hotel is central to St Marc's Square, and they offer complimentary shuttles to Murano Island. However, room was not ready when we arrived at 4:00 pm, internet was intermittent at best, shower water drained slowly, no shuttles to train/airport, windows didn't open, July 15, 2014

"These cards turned out even better than we could have imagined. They were beautiful, and we received so many complements on them. Delivery was fast, and tiny prints was great to work with. THANK YOU!!!! Beautiful!!!!!"
"I liked the rich look yet simplicity of this Christmas card. Some cards become fussy and try to convey too much information and too many pictures. This card design is elegant with one picture, combined with a sturdy weight of the card, made it perfect for showcasing my teenage children's holiday picture. Also,I paid for expedited shipping and the cards arrived 2 days before I even expected them. Bravo Tiny Prints!!"
"Quick delivery and better than expected. Paper and quality of the photo printed are very good. Will likely re-order at next occasion...great job overall!"
"Loved the design and metallic look of the card. Quality print and material. I was very impressed and received lots of compliments on this Christmas card."
"This is a high quality card, of course. I loved the color options on the background to the text. By using photos in a green theme and using a red banner, it really popped!"

Don't Rain On My Parade
I'm falling in love with the color pink. It's so hopeful and inspiring. I mean…I have no money, no job, and sometimes my family makes me want to run away but I have plenty of things to love about my life. I love to cook and I love that I can actually decide to do something and have it come out well. I love when my son is being cute and I love love to laugh. Yes, laughing earned two loves. I am holding out hope for the next few months to go well. Life must get better cause if it didn't we'd all kill ourselves.
I'm thinking biscuits and gravy in the morning. Homemade biscuits. It's my first time attempting them. I'm super excited.

12 "A man named Ananias came to see me. He was a devout observer of the law and highly respected by all the Jews living there. 13 He stood beside me and said, 'Brother Saul, receive your sight!' And at that very moment I was able to see him.
14 "Then he said: 'The God of our ancestors has chosen you to know his will and to see the Righteous One and to hear words from his mouth. 15 You will be his witness to all people of what you have seen and heard. 16 And now what are you waiting for? Get up, be baptized and wash your sins away, calling on his name.'

She remains in critical condition and in an induced coma.

Bill addresses paid sick time for VermontersJanuary 28,2014By Neal P. Goswami
Staff Writer
MONTPELIER — A House panel began hearing testimony Tuesday on a bill that would require Vermont businesses to provide paid sick time to employees.
The issue is pitting advocates and some businesses owners against each other. Providing paid sick time will boost public health by allowing workers to remain home when they are ill. It will also help lower the cost of health care by allowing workers to address medical concerns before they become more serious, according to Lindsay DesLauriers, a public policy associate for Voices for Vermont's Children.
Mark Nicholson, a construction company owner representing Associated General Contractors, told the House General, Housing and Military Affairs Committee that business owners should not be saddled with the additional cost of providing sick time.
"If it is for the public good I think it needs to be paid for by the public, not put on the backs of employers," he said. "The construction industry believes in benefits, but we do not need to have them dictated by the state. Benefits are a way we attract good benefits. We take care of our employees."
The bill being considered by the committee would require all full- and part-time employees to accrue one hour of paid sick time for every 30 hours worked. Employees could accrue up to 56 hours of paid sick time per year.MORE IN This Just InWATERBURY CENTER Vermont State Police say a toddler is in critical condition after being found ...

India CemeteriesEdit This Page
From FamilySearch Wiki
To find monumental inscriptions, you need to know where an individual was buried. The person may have been buried in a church, city, or public cemetery— usually near the place where he lived or died. You can find clues to burial places in church records, death certificates, or family histories.
Ministers may have the burial registers or the records of the burial plots for the cemetery you wish to search.
Another way to gain access to tombstone inscriptions is through the Internet. Many people on the Internet volunteer to search various types of records for certain areas, free of charge.
The Family History Library has copies of some monumental inscriptions. These are listed in the Place Search of the Family History Library Catalog under:

pegasis wrote:Is there any way to install mint by loading the files directly on the laptop, and using installation process
my laptop is not booting from my USB
austin.texas wrote:gtsfer wrote:This "frugal install" method looks really easy. Have to let gorselands look it over too.
Please note that I am offering that suggestion for someone who has Win XP installed.
For someone who has some version of linux installed there is an even easier solution
- This works great for me with Mint 16 Cinnamon.
If you want to install Mint to any usb drive or partition, install the grml-rescueboot program.
sudo apt-get install grml-rescueboot
Then make sure that the /boot/grml folder exists. If it does not exist, create it with the command.
sudo mkdir /boot/grml
Place your Mint ISO in the /boot/grml folder.
For example, if the ISO is located in the user's Downloads folder, the command would be:
sudo cp ~/Downloads/Mintfilename.iso /boot/grml/
Update GRUB
sudo update-grub
This automatically adds a menuentry to the GRUB menu for any ISO files located in the /boot/grml folder.
The created menuentry, when selected, provides submenu options on how to boot the ISO, including the "Try Mint" and "Install" options.
Now reboot, and choose the iso menuentry, and it will run just like booting the live DVD.
grml-rescueboot does not support lvm and md/raid devices
sudo umount -l -r -f /isodevice

WinterTroubles wrote:I have tested this method of booting and can confirm that it works
sudo umount -l -r -f /isodevice
So... If I understand correctly - which is by no means assured, lol - I can download/verify the 64-bit Mint Xfce 17.1 .iso, place it on the Mint Xfce 17 partition (which I am currently using), follow the instructions you posted above... And, if I don't manage to screw something up in the process, I will then be able to reboot my computer, select that .iso from the Grub boot menu as if it were a standard Mint installation, and then - after I reach the live desktop - choose to install it to my (not currently in use) Mint 14 partition? And, if all goes well, I will then have both Mint 17 and 17.1 installed?
I'll probably keep the .iso around just in case I need it again in the future, but I may (probably will) choose to move it to a USB device. Will it be possible, assuming I succeed with the installation, to remove the entry for the .iso from my boot menu?
I'm just guessing (please forgive my woeful ignorance), but it looks to me that, even though I don't use Mint 14, the partition itself is still technically in use because I think that is the location of my Grub boot menu(?). IF I am correct, will that cause any issues at all? That first partition is where I'm wishing to place Mint 17.1.
The partition is (quite a bit) larger than I had been thinking it was. Would it be possible for me to install TWO new linuxes(?) instead of one?
I have quite a bit of data on the Mint 17 partition that I am currently using. I'd REALLY like to keep it. I guess that I'd like it to be on whichever partition I end up considering to be my "active/current" one, which (I assume/hope) will eventually be that first partition if/when 17.1 shows itself to be stable (to/for me). That'd mean that I'd need to expand it greatly - but the rest of my drive is taken up with the big "Extended Partition" which contains the Mint 17 one AND my swap one. I... I'm not at all sure that I understand how this works, but I'm guessing that I can shrink my Mint 17 partition from the front, but only at the risk - if not certainity? - of destroying data. And, even if I do that, It'll just open a "hole" at the beginning of the extended partition, which I would not then be able to expand the first partition into(???IDK???). So... Err... "Help!!!" ("ARGH!!!).
And, no, I have no idea why my partitions are numbered (variously) 1, 2, 5, and 6. <SCRATCHES HEAD> Or where in the world 3 and 4 got to.
Reinstalling GRUB 2 from a Working System
If Ubuntu is operating normally, boot into the working installation and run the following command from a terminal.
X is the drive (letter) on which you want GRUB to write the boot information. Normally users should not include a partition number, which would produce an error message as the command would attempt to write the information to a partition.
sudo grub-install /dev/sdX # Example: sudo grub-install /dev/sda
This will rewrite the MBR information to point to the current installation and rewrite some GRUB 2 files (which are already working). Since it isn't done during execution of the previous command, running sudo update-grub after the install will ensure GRUB 2's menu is up-to-date.
WinterTroubles wrote:Grub itself isn't installed to any partition on an msdos (MBR) disk, it's installed in the Master Boot Record at the start of the disk.
WinterTroubles wrote:. it's simply the configuration files that are stored on one of your Root partitions. Booting into your current Mint 17 and installing Grub from there to ensure there are no issues is relatively simple.

I thought about trying to format the Mint 14 partition from Mint 17 (where I am now, obviously) or at least manually delete every file/folder/directory on it. But I can't even do that, because from what Disks said (see post above), that's where my boot grub is

I think I once deleted something a bit like this -- it might not have been quite so comprehensive, and certainly I didn't measure the speed impact on MOP code, but the motivation for deleting it was to save space. Three functions per effective slot definition is really quite a lot; maybe measure the space used with something like gsharp / climacs? Having said that, I just looked at your patch and it doesn't look like it's introducing any extra stuff -- in which case, good job :-) Maybe I didn't delete these things after all.

I don't get it.......
What don't you get?
Does it mean something?
This is stock. Stock is artwork provided for others to use under selected terms. Stock usually doesn't have a meaning, because it gets its meaning out of the result it was used for. Stock is only rated by quality, such as detail, focus, usability, aso... High quality stock can also be awarded. I hope this could make you understand. If not, feel free to ask further.
Awesome Shot! congrats on your DD!!!
great shot, congrats on the well deserved Daily Deviation
- Congrats on the DD!
Have a nice day!
wow, what happens there?
I luv fire
I see a FIRE PHOENIX AT THE TOP OF FLAMES...... love it...
I'm a firefighter & it's very common to call firefighting "Dancing With The Devil" due to how often pictures of fire have something demonic looking in them. You almost have one here at the top.

Designing Jennette's Pier was a dream come true for coastal artist and architect Chip Hemingway. He modeled the structure after the original Nags Head cottage and modernized it by adding three wind turbines, it's own waste-water treatment facility, and a rainwater collection system. –Molly Harrison

Crepes can be found in Mexico in both sweet and savory forms. And oh how much they are loved. Inherited from the short reign of Maximilian and Carlota in the 1860s, French cuisine has had a big influence on Mexico's kitchens.
My sister Alisa, who is a French trained Mexican pastry chef, shared her favorite recipe with me. I have found it to be the very best, and I am sharing it with you, in turn, below.
After years of making them – Juju loves crepes for breakfast – I realize there are some important things to consider that make the experience a successful one…

Crepes: Basic Recipe
Frijoles de Olla
1 pound dried black beans, rinsed
1/2 white onion
A few sprigs cilantro or epazote, optional
Kosher or coarse sea salt, to taste
To Prepare
Place the beans in a big heavy pot and cover with enough water to cover the beans by at least 3-inches, about 12 cups of water. Incorporate the onion and bring to a rolling boil. You may also add cilantro or epazote. Let the beans simmer over medium heat, partially covered, for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, until the beans are soft and then add the salt. Don't add the salt in the beginning, or it will toughen the beans.
Let them continue simmering for another couple minutes, or until the beans are so soft, they come apart if you hold one between your fingers, and the broth has thickened to a soupy consistency. If the beans are not yet soft and the broth is drying out, add more hot water. Remove the cooked onion and herbs with a slotted spoon before serving.

I have a large data table in R:
n <- 1e+07*2
DT <- data.table(
ID=sample(1:200000, n, replace=TRUE),
Month=sample(1:12, n, replace=TRUE),
Category=sample(1:1000, n, replace=TRUE),
key=c('ID', 'Month')
I'd like to pivot this data.table, such that Category becomes a column. Unfortunately, since the number of categories isn't constant within groups, I can't use this answer.
Any ideas how I might do this?
/edit: Based on joran's comments and flodel's answer, we're really reshaping the following
agg <- DT[, list(Qty = sum(Qty)), by = c("ID", "Month", "Category")]
This reshape can be accomplished a number of ways (I've gotten some good answers so far), but what I'm really looking for is something that will scale well to a
data.table with millions of rows and hundreds to thousands of categories.

INDIANAPOLIS Ś IndyCar is considering adding a road race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway as soon as next year.
Mark Miles, CEO of IndyCar parent company Hulman & Co., said Wednesday that IndyCar is leaning toward running the event in May, the same month as the Indianapolis 500. He said the series favors a date during the early part of the month, but the final day of Indy 500 qualifying and the day before the 500 also are possibilities.
ōWe have been thinking for many months about how to grow IndyCar and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway both,ö Miles said. ōThe idea surfaced several months ago that maybe we ought to think about the fact that we have a road course here. Maybe we can improve it and have a race here.ö
Bobby Rahal, co-owner of Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing and the 1986 Indianapolis 500 winner, said he thinks a road race at the Speedway would be a good thing.
ōIÆm very supportive of it,ö he said. ōI think anything we can do Ś why not race at this facility? ItÆs the best in the world, and it just helps add value to the Month of May.ö
Graham Rahal and Ryan Briscoe tested cars on the road course Wednesday to help IndyCar gather data. Graham Rahal, BobbyÆs son, liked the course but said it lacked grip and there werenÆt enough places to pass. The course was used for Formula One races in the past.
ōItÆs actually not a bad track,ö Graham Rahal said. ōEverybody knocks it, but I had some fun.ö
It was only the second time IndyCars had driven on the road course at IMS. Dan Wheldon tested the new chassis on the road course in 2011. Multiple track configurations were used during testing, and the cars were driven both directions.
Miles said an additional race in May wouldnÆt detract from the Indianapolis 500. He said it would just give them another reason to go to the Speedway.
ōWe want to grow the Indy 500,ö he said. ōThe last thing we want to do is take away from it. I really struggle to see how that could happen. I donÆt see anybody not wanting to be here in May at the end of the month for the Indianapolis 500-mile race and opting for the opening weekend instead of the crescendo.ö

Great for a special treat
posted 6 years ago
My ferret loved this special treat. The only problem for us was that our dog tried to take it and it is a choking hazard for a dog. We just have to be very careful because our ferret loves them so much. She runs away and hides to chew on it.
Pros: no sugar
Cons: keep away from dogs

A good time as had by all in good old Kentucky…
My friends Mary and Nicola were nice enough to brave the 6 hour ride with me and take pictures. They were great travel buddies too…We had a blast.
We had a great time at Kari and Kijsa's show…
These girls are amazing! So warm,friendly and just plain creatively amazing.
Kijsa is an amazing artist and with KariAnne,she is so creative, you can't help but fall in love.
It was a fun show and I met some fabulous people.
Checked back in with the kids. Even though it was a nice break, I missed them a ton.
We tried to decide what the criteria was for having "cankles" and if we had them or not.
We visited a lovely little tea house.
They had these mirrors which now I am going to figure out how to duplicate. I loved how this looked.
They have this amazing stretch of flood wall murals by a really talented artist named Robert Dafford. The detail and color were amazing. If you go to Paducah, you have to go and see them. They are just beautiful.
They stretched on for about a half mile. They were so life-like we were inspired (though we did get close, we made sure we didn't actually touch them as to disturb the pain or add wear and tear.).
And we got a little silly.
And we got a little silly.
Shark! Everybody out of the water!
Bon voyage!
Thank goodness there's no fire!
It's a lovely day to skate!
mmm.. berries!
One the last day we met Kijsa at a FABULOUS overstock store named Surplus City..Where we found things we didn't even know we needed.
I think we bought a bit too much!
Thanks for coming along! And thank you to every one who participated in the party on Thursday!

Excellent work guys! Thanks!
Yeah baby!
Finally some move on MKV issue!
This is exactly what we need ! I would wait to test it out myself before I'm going to say "Awesome". If they really get it to work, it would be great !
Brilliant news, this will be great... no more muxing with mkv2vob will be needed and will save time.
One thing I do wonder though, when the audio stream within the mkv is DTS will the new media player allow playback on a non-DTS system or will the stream have to be changed to AC3 first
Sony should take a good lesson out of all these recent hacks..
When you make PS4 Give us:
1 Homebrew
2 Good video player with support of various extentions.
3 the ability to play (legal) backups.
5 Bring Back otheros
6 etc.
Love you guys! Mkv in ps3.. oooh my god! Love it!
Great news, finally someone bring a good media player to PS3, NTFS support will be good but subtitle support would be even better!
i wonder... if WE build the NTFSlib... would sony see a chance in using it? Lets hope so!
I didn't care much about NTFS support, since as you said we have plenty of other means to read a 4gb+ file. But with the addition of MKV, I now see a usefulness, since most of mine are around 8gb each ^^

If the stock Chevy Camaro is an all-American brawler in jeans and those fingerless-hobo gloves, the Chevy Camaro Black Concept is a stealth-suit wearing ninja. With a matte-black-finish hood, taillamps with dark-tinted lenses, and 21-inch wheels with a dark finish, this Chevy Camaro is so blacked-out, its own shadow has trouble following it.

You knew Phish was going to get back together, you knew Rocky V was going to be terrible, and you knew sooner or later someone would drop a Dodge Viper V-10 engine in a Dodge Challenger body. And where better to show such a creation off than at the 2008 SEMA Show?

Best Green Car: PML Ford F-150 Hi-Pa
Electric cars are wimpy, right? They're slow, usually ugly, not very powerful...glorified golf carts, really. If that's your electric vehicle stereotype, you're in for a shock: The PML Ford F-150 Hi-Pa. This all-electric version of Ford's bestselling pickup dumps the V-8 engine and the rest of the drivetrain is gone, replacing it with electric motors at each wheel that make 150 hp and 500 lb.-ft. of torque...each. A 600 hp, 2,000 lb.-ft. electric truck? Who says electric vehicles are wimpy?

Best Wheels: Midas Rims, by Lexani
Let's do some math. Gold closed today at about $740 an ounce. There are roughly 35 ounces in a kilo. There are 5 kilos on this rim. There are 4 rims on a car. That means a set of these Asanti rims we spotted at the Lexani booth will run you back roughly $518,000...for the gold bar insets. That doesn't include labor, gold-plating of the rest of the wheel components, tires, or the cost of replacing your car when you get carjacked -- and you will get carjacked. Add it all up and you have some expensive rims. Oh, that is cubic-zirconium on the center cap. Why not diamonds you ask? Too gaudy!

Best SUV, Truck, or Crossover: RENNTech Pikes Peak Mercedes-Benz GLK Hybrid
What's pink, goes really fast and looks like it was made from Legos? The RENNTech Pikes Peak GLK Hybrid, of course. RENNTech is widely known for the insane things it does to perfectly acceptable Mercedes vehicles, and it introduced several at the 2008 SEMA show. The Pikes Peak GLK is our favorite, because it is fully functional, looks like it's ready to tackle the hillclimb, and uses a very cool turbocharged/hybrid V-6 engine that puts out 375 hp and 320 lb.-ft. of torque to all four wheels. Hey, so what if it's eye-searing pink? It won't sit still long enough for anyone to notice.

Most Stunning Show Car: Lamborghini LP560-4 by Giovanna Wheels
Roger Federer walks into the Lamborghini dealership and throws an optic-yellow tennis ball to a salesman. He says, "Build me one in this color." Or so that's how we'd like to think this Lamborghini ended up coated in this stunning color. Giovanna matched the color of these 20-inch GFG wheels with input directly from the Lamborghini factory in Bolognese, Italy, and we're pretty sure you could drop jaws outside a Braille readers' convention with this car. It should be noted that this is the only LP560-4 we saw at SEMA. Score one for Giovanna on the find.

Most Ludicrously Expensive Show Car: Scythe by Galpin Auto Sports
What can you do in 11 months with an unlimited supply of money, some of the world's most talented fabricators, designers and automotive engineers, and one 2008 Ford Mustang? Apparently this. Everything on the vehicle is voice-activated, from the doors to the steering wheels. That's right -- there are two steering wheels, depending on which side of the vehicle you feel like sitting on. One retracts, the other extends. Why you need that, I have no idea, but if you drop $1,000,000 into a Ford Mustang, those types of questions quickly become irrelevant.

Best Electronic Device: Passport 9500ix
Chronic speeders usually realize that there's a benefit to having a radar detector. Yet with so much of traffic enforcement automated these days thanks to speed cameras and the like, having a detector that knows where those nano-nuisances are located is a breakthrough. That's what Escort has introduced with its Passport 9500ix. The 9500ix packs a GPS receiver and detailed description of every speed camera, speed trap and red light camera out there.

Worst Show Car: Toyota "Zimbra" Prius Hybrid
When you put these doors on anything else, they are called Lambo-doors. When you put them on the Prius, I'm pretty sure they become fairy wings. And speaking of which: Unless they let the vehicle soar through the air, this vehicle doesn't fly with us. In other words, that ain't right.

Best Aftermarket Accessory: The TaleGator
The TaleGator is what we call a "Why didn't I think of that" automotive accessory, and amazingly, TaleGator claims it is the only product of its kind on the market. With two air-cushion seats and two cupholders molded into a design that fits perfectly on any tailgate, the TaleGator is perfect for football parking-lot barbeques, fishing off the side of bridges, and pulling the kids in inner-tubes behind the Silverado when it snows.

Best Holiday Gift: Hitch Critters
This is either the most awesome or most stupid invention ever. Yet even those who fall into the latter category have to admit that the redneck-cool associated with a flopping bass or growling pit bull thrashing on your trailer hitch is irresistible.

Best Import Car: Aston Martin DBS by HRE Wheels
There was no lack of Range Rovers at the 2008 SEMA show, and we were really disappointed that no one customized a Jaguar XF, so when we saw this rare Aston Martin DBS, we thought it should carry the Union Jack (and technically Range Rover and Jaguar sport the National Flag of India these days anyway). For a vehicle at SEMA, the DBS here is relatively untouched aside from HRE wheels, but when you look that good naturally, why bother with makeup?

Best Celebrity: [Skinny] Elvis Presley
Who you hire as a celebrity spokesman can say a lot about your product. It's a good thing this performance parts company went for skinny Elvis and not lethargic, five-meals-a-day Elvis. And while Zoom Performance Products didn't publicize it, this particular Elvis is an ordained minister, meaning Zoom could have held a wedding at their booth. Who wouldn't want to get married at the largest automotive show on earth? Oh that's right, us.

In the 2SAT problem, you are given a set of clauses, where each clause is the disjunction (OR) of two literals (a literal is a Boolean variable or the negation of a Boolean variable). You are looking for a way to assign a value true or false to each of the variables so that all clauses are satisfied—that is, there is at least one true literal in each clause. For example, here's an instance of 2SAT:
This instance has a satisfying assignment: set x1, x2, x3, and x4 to true, false, false, and true, respectively.
(a) Are there other satisfying truth assignments of this 2SAT formula? If so, find them all.
(b) Give an instance of 2SAT with four variables, and with no satisfying assignment.
The purpose of this problem is to lead you to a way of solving 2SAT efficiently by reducing it to the problem of finding the strongly connected components of a directed graph. Given an instance I of 2SAT with n variables and m clauses, construct a directed graph GI = (V, E) as follows.
• GI has 2n nodes, one for each variable and its negation.
• GI has 2m edges: for each clause (α ∨ β) of I (where a, p are literals), GI has an edge from the negation of α to β, and one from the negation of β to α.
Note that the clause (α ∨ β) is equivalent to either of the implications or In this sense, GI records all implications in I.
(c) Carry out this construction for the instance of 2SAT given above, and for the instance you constructed in (b).
(d) Show that if GI zhas a strongly connected component containing both x and for some variable x, then I has no satisfying assignment.
(e) Now show the converse of (d): namely, that if none of GI 's strongly connected components contain both a literal and its negation, then the instance I must be satisfiable. (Hint: Assign values to the variables as follows: repeatedly pick a sink strongly connected component of GI . Assign value true to all literals in the sink, assign false to their negations, and delete all of these. Show that this ends up discovering a satisfying assignment.)
(f) Conclude that there is a linear-time algorithm for solving 2SAT.

Reading Robert Caro to learn about Lyndon Johnson is like going to an elaborate buffet in order to get the four basic food groups; they both give you what you need along with much, much more. In fact, we're only at the appetizers, since Caro's third and latest volume, Master of the Senate, comes in at over1,000 pages and still doesn't take the story up through the 1960 election! Nonetheless, both are experiences to be savored. Caro is a gifted and passionate writer, and his all-encompassing approach to understanding LBJ provides readers with a panoramic history of twentieth-century American politics as well as a compelling discourse on the nature and uses of political power.
Moreover, in the midst of the plagiarism contretemps over Stephen Ambrose and Doris Kearns Goodwin, it is refreshing to read a popular history that is original and well written. There is clearly no "Caro Inc." with an army of researchers cutting and pasting books together as fast as the printing presses can take them. Aided only by his wife, Ina, Caro's project is now in its third decade. This slow pace results from a methodical and exhaustive research process. One might well disagree with Caro's analysis and interpretations, but no one can accuse him of overlooking an important piece of evidence.
In reality, Master of the Senate is not one book but several. Caro sets the stage with a history of the United States Senate. The Senate is virtually unique among legislative bodies in any modern democracy. With its six-year terms, equal representation for each state regardless of population and its tradition of unlimited debate, the Senate is an institution designed for inaction. Individual senators have little or no incentive to yoke themselves together to advance the national interest. By the time Johnson entered the Senate in 1949, the body was increasingly seen as too inefficient to meet the demands of modern government. Since the turn of the century, the President had increasingly usurped its power in foreign policy, and many observers predicted that the Senate would eventually have to go the way of most legislative upper chambers and become, in effect, an American House of Lords.
That the Senate did not wither away and the reasons for this fact form the basis for another of Caro's books within a book, Lyndon Johnson's ascent to "Master of the Senate." Possessed of ambition that can only be described as obsessive, Johnson campaigned to increase his own power and influence with a relentlessness and ruthlessness that would have made Machiavelli blush.
Before Johnson could amass power in the Senate, however, he first had to shore up his political base in Texas. Having only narrowly "won" (stolen is the more appropriate word, as Caro vividly and convincingly demonstrated in his previous volume) election to the Senate in 1948, Johnson now had to prove his fealty to the Lone Star State's reactionary and powerful oil and gas titans. To do so, Johnson organized a behind-the-scenes campaign to block President Truman's reappointment of Leland Olds as chairman of the Federal Power Commission. A staunch New Dealer and a committed public servant, Olds had used his position at the FPC to make sure that electric and natural gas companies did not gouge their customers. As a result, he was anathema to the Texas natural gas companies, who saw even the smallest and most reasonable limitation of their already vast profits as socialist tyranny.
In earlier days, Johnson had fought the same fight as Olds, working as a freshman Congressman to provide cheap electricity to rural farmers. Doing so had secured Johnson a place in the hearts of his poor Texas Hill Country constituents, but that counted for little against the political power of the state's oil and gas industry. Ambition now required Johnson to destroy Leland Olds. Unable to attack him on the substance of his work at the FPC, Johnson instead distorted Olds's writings as a journalist in the 1920s to portray him as a Communist. Using a phrase that Joe McCarthy would have appreciated, Johnson denounced Olds on the floor of the Senate, asking, "Shall we have a commissioner or a commissar?" The choice of the Senate was clear; the Olds reappointment failed by a vote of 53 to 15.

This essay introduces the special double issue (80/81) of New Formations, Neoliberal Culture. It situates the eleven other contributions to the volume in the context of the wider field of debate over the existence and nature of 'neoliberalism' as a specifiable and analysable phenomenon. In particular it considers the conceptual status of neoliberalism as a discursive formation, a governmental programme, an ideology, a hegemonic project, a technical assemblage, and an abstract machine.

This product takes a while to work but once it does it works great with no side effects. You must take it at least 30 minutes before a meal and if you do this consistently each day, by about the 7th day you will see a noticeable difference in the amount you eat and how hungry you are. At first, you will thinking that you are hungry then and will have trouble waiting the first 30 minutes, but .. I read or get online and then it goes by fast.
I love this product. Good product for the money.You have to be sure to drink plenty of water with this product.Works excellent for curbing my appetite.

For Good Song Lyrics
I'm limited
just look at me i'm limited
and just look at you you can do all I couldn't do
so now its up to you
for both of us
now it's up to you
I've heard it said
that people come into our lives
for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
and we are lead to those
who help us most to grow
if we let them and we help them in return
Well i dont know if i believe that's true
But i know i'm who i am today
because i knew you.
Like a comet pulled from orbit as it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
halfway through the wood.
Who can say if i've been changed for the better
but, because i knew you
I have been changed for good.
It well may be
that we will never meet again in this lifetime
so let me say before we part
so much of me is made from what i learned from you
You'll be with me
like a hand print on my heart
Now whatever way our stories end
I know you have rewritten mine
by being my friend
Like a ship blown from it's mooring
by a wind off the sea
like a seed dropped by a sky bird
in a distant wood
Who can say if i've been changed for the better?
But because i knew you
because i knew you
I have been changed for good
And just to clear the air i ask forgiveness
for the things i've done you blame me for
But then i guess we know there's blame to share
And none of it seems to matter any more
Like a comet pulled from orbit
(like a ship blown from its mooring)
As it passes a sun
(By a wind off the sea)
Like a stream that meets a boulder
(Like a seed dropped by a bird)
Halfway through the wood
(in a wood)
Who can say if i've been changed for the better?
I do believe i have been changed for the better
And because i knew you
because i knew you
because i knew you,
I have been changed...
for... good

Article: 11 C-Methionine Positron Emission Tomography for Preoperative Evaluation of Suggestive Low-Grade Gliomas[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The treatment regimen for cerebral gliomas is different, depending on the histological grade of the lesion. The therapeutic strategy for anaplastic gliomas and glioblastomas is more aggressive, including microsurgical removal, radiation and chemotherapy. The management for low-grade gliomas is still under discussion, operation or "wait and see" tactics are possible options. Therefore the diagnostic imaging procedures are crucial for further treatment planning. Although most of the low-grade gliomas appear as hypointense lesions without contrast medium (CM) enhancement on magnetic resonance images, in some cases lesions without CM enhancement can be anaplastic tumours as well. 11C-Methionine positron emission tomography (MET-PET) was performed for preoperative evaluation of non or low CM enhancing intracerebral lesions, so-called suggestive low-grade gliomas. 20 patients harbouring suggestive low-grade gliomas were included. Seventeen patients were found to be candidates for open surgery and 3 patients were planned for stereotactic biopsy due to the localisation of the lesions. MET-PET studies were performed a few days prior to surgery. On the day of surgery MRI sequences for neuronavigation planning were carried out (MPRAGE and FLAIR sequences). All image data were fused for operation with neuronavigation-guided microsurgery or stereotactic biopsy (BrainLAB Neuronavigation system, VectorVision 6.1). Biopsies were taken from the MET uptake areas as well as from areas without MET uptake. 2/20 patients showed sparse CM enhancement on MRI T (1) images, 18/20 patients had lesions without CM enhancement. MET uptake was found in 16/20 cases (T/N ratio 1.5 or more) and no MET uptake was documented in 4/20 cases (T/N ratio <1.5). Histologically the 2 patients with sparse CM enhancement and MET uptake were glioblastoma multiforme, 10/14 patients with MET uptake and without CM enhancement had an anaplastic astrocytoma WHO III, 3/14 with MET uptake and no CM enhancement had an anaplastic oligoastrocytoma WHO III, and 1/14 had an oligoastrocytoma grade II. The lesions of the 4 patients without MET uptake and without CM enhancement were classified as astrocytoma grade II in 2 cases, as astrocytoma grade I in 1 case and as astrocytoma III in one case. According to the results of this study, we find MET-PET to be a helpful tool for pretreatment evaluation of non-CM enhancing, suggestive low-grade intracerebral lesions. MET-PET adds valuable information for the decision-making for surgery or stereotactic biopsy.

ABSTRACT: Using MRI, residual tumor cannot be differentiated from nonspecific postoperative changes in patients with brain gliomas after surgical resection. The goal of this study was to analyze the value of 123I-alpha-methyl-tyrosine-single photon emission CT (IMT-SPECT) in radiotherapy planning of patients with brain gliomas after surgical resection. In 66 patients with surgically resected brain gliomas (33 glioblastomas, 20 anaplastic astrocytomas, 7 anaplastic oligodendrogliomas, and 6 low-grade astrocytomas), IMT-SPECT and MRI were performed for radiotherapy planning. On the MRI/IMT-SPECT fusion images, the volume with IMT uptake was compared with the volume of the hyperintensity areas of T(2)-weighted MRI and with the volume of contrast enhancement on T(1)-weighted MRI. The regions with IMT uptake and/or MRI changes (composite Vol-MRI/IMT), regions with overlay of IMT uptake and MRI changes (common Vol-MRI/IMT), area with IMT uptake without MRI changes (increase Vol-MRI/IMT), and area with only MRI changes (Vol-MRI minus IMT) were analyzed separately. The planning target volume and boost volume defined using MRI information alone was compared with the planning target volume and boost volume defined by also using the SPECT information. Focally increased IMT uptake was observed in 25 (38%) of 66 patients, contrast enhancement on MRI was outlined in 59 (89%) of 66 patients, and hyperintensity areas on T(2)-weighted MRI were found in all 66 investigated patients. The mean composite Vol-T(2)/IMT was 73 cm(3). The relative increase Vol-T(2)/IMT, mean relative common Vol-T(2)/IMT, and mean relative Vol-T(2) minus IMT was 4%, 6%, and 90% of the composite Vol-T(2)/IMT, respectively. The mean composite Vol-T(1)/IMT was 14 cm(3) and the mean relative increase Vol-T(1)/IMT, mean relative common Vol-T(1)/IMT, and mean relative Vol-T(1) minus IMT was 21%, 4%, and 64% of the mean composite Vol-T(1)/IMT, respectively. In 19 (29%) of 66 patients, the focal IMT uptake was located outside the MRI changes. In this subgroup, the mean residual volume defined by focal IMT uptake in MRI/IMT-SPECT images, mean Vol-T(1), and mean Vol-T(2) was 19 cm(3), 10 cm(3), and 70 cm(3), respectively. The mean relative increase T(2)/IMT was 14% and T(1)/IMT was 61%. In this subgroup, the additional information of SPECT led to an increase in boost volume (mean relative increase BV-IMT) by 20%. In patients with surgically resected brain gliomas, the size and location of residual IMT uptake differs considerably from the abnormalities found on postoperative MRI. Because of the known high specificity of IMT uptake for tumor tissue, the findings on IMT-SPECT may significantly modify the target volumes for radiotherapy planning. This will help to focus the high irradiation dose on the tumor area and to spare normal brain tissue.

ABSTRACT: Assessment of the salivary excretion of FDG and its significance during PET imaging. Salivary samples from 16 patients were obtained during the first three hours after FDG injection and their activity concentrations were measured. Furthermore, regional FDG accumulations in whole body PET scans (60 min p.i., ROI technique) were determined in the following locations: vestibulum oris, floor of the mouth, hypopharynx, parotid gland, submandibular gland. This ROI analysis was repeated after drinking water (0.2 l) and a second scan (120 min p.i.). The salivary FDG concentrations (SUV) at the first, second and third hour p.i. were 0.2 +/- 0.1, 0.4 +/- 0.2, and 0.3 +/- 0.2, respectively. The FDG uptake in the investigated cranial and cervical sites ranged from SUV 1.2 +/- 0.5 in the major salivary glands to 2.1 +/- 0.5 in the floor of the mouth. These values remained unchanged after drinking of water. The salivary FDG concentration is higher than expected from the low physiologic content of glucose. This may--similarly to renal excretion--reflect a different behavior of FDG and glucose during reabsorption processes. Nevertheless, the salivary concentration of FDG is so low that no relevant influence on PET imaging is to be expected. Accordingly, the drinking of water prior to the scan is of no benefit for FDG PET imaging of the head and the neck.
Article: Correlation between postoperative 3-[123I]iodo-L- α-methyltyrosine uptake and survival in patients with gliomas[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of SPECT imaging using the amino acid analog 3-[(123)I]iodo-L-alpha-methyltyrosine (IMT) in patients with gliomas. One hundred fourteen consecutive patients with newly diagnosed gliomas were examined by IMT SPECT (low-grade glioma, n = 12; anaplastic astrocytoma or oligodendroglioma, n = 46; glioblastoma, n = 56). Seventy-one of these patients had undergone tumor resection 4-6 wk before SPECT imaging (group A). Forty-three patients with unresectable tumors were examined after stereotactic biopsy (group B). IMT uptake at the site of the tumor was assessed visually and quantified relative to a contralateral reference region (IMT uptake ratio). After IMT SPECT, all patients were treated with conformal radiotherapy. The median follow-up time was 27 mo. In group A, focal IMT uptake at the resection site was visible in 52 of 71 patients (73%). Median survival was only 13 mo in these patients, whereas median survival was reached in patients without focal IMT uptake (P = 0.02). Furthermore, the intensity of IMT uptake significantly correlated with survival: patients with an IMT uptake ratio > 1.7 were at a 4.6 times higher risk of death than were patients with a lower IMT uptake (P < 0.001). The IMT uptake ratio remained a significant prognostic factor when age and grading were included in a multivariate model. In contrast, IMT uptake did not correlate with survival in group B (P = 0.95). In patients with unresectable high-grade gliomas, IMT uptake appears not to correlate with the biologic aggressiveness of tumor cells. Nevertheless, the clear association between focal IMT uptake after tumor resection and poor survival suggests that IMT is a specific marker for residual tumor tissue. Therefore, IMT SPECT is expected to become a valuable tool for the planning and monitoring of local therapeutic modalities.
Article: O-(2-[18F]Fluoroethyl)-l-tyrosine and l-[methyl-11C]methionine uptake in brain tumours: Initial results of a comparative study. Eur J Nucl Med[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: O-(2-[18F]Fluoroethyl)-L-tyrosine (FET) is a recently described amino acid analogue that has shown high accumulation in animal tumours. The aim of this study was to compare the uptake of FET with that of L-[methyl-11C]methionine (MET) in patients with suspected primary or recurrent intracerebral tumours. Sixteen consecutive patients with intracerebral lesions were studied on the same day by positron emission tomography (PET) using MET and FET. Uptake of FET and MET was quantified by standardized uptake values. Tracer kinetics for normal brain and intracerebral lesions were compared. On the basis of the MET-PET studies, viable tumour tissue was found in 13 patients. All tumours showed rapid uptake of FET and were visualized with high contrast. Mean uptake of FET for normal grey matter, white matter and tumour tissue was 1.1+/-0.2, 0.8+/-0.2 and 2.7+/-0.8 SUV, respectively. In all three tissues, uptake of MET was slightly higher (1.4+/-0.2, 0.9+/-0.1 and 3.3+/-1.0 SUV; P<0.01). However, contrast between tumour and normal tissues was not significantly different between MET and FET. Uptake of FET in non-neoplastic lesions (1.0+/-0.1 SUV) was significantly lower than in tumour tissue (P = 0.007). For all lesions there was a close correlation (r = 0.98) between MET and FET uptake. In conclusion, in PET studies of human brain tumours, the uptake and image contrast of FET appear to be very similar to those of MET. The specificity of FET for tumour tissue is promising but has to be addressed in a larger series of patients with non-neoplastic lesions.
