The libotr library has been bumped in version 4.0.0, and the new version is
not compatible with the old. In order to make it possible for both versions
to coexist in the short term the old version has been moved to a new port.
If you are currently using pidgin-otr:
# pkg_delete -f pidgin-otr\*
# portmaster -o security/libotr3 security/libotr
# portmaster -r libotr
# portugrade -o security/libotr3 security/libotr
# portugrade -r libotr
# pkg set -o security/libotr:security/libotr3
Affects: users of irc/bitlbee
Author: email@example.com
The default installation is now configured for running bitlbee as
user 'bitlbee'. Make sure any existing configuration files are
readable by that user.
irc/bitlbee now stores saved user settings in /var/db/bitlbee/, not
$PREFIX/etc/bitlbee/. You will have to manually move any existing user
settings to the new location (or override the user settings directory
using -d if you wish to keep the old behavior). Other configuration
files are still kept in $PREFIX/etc/bitlbee/ by default.
The default installation is now configured for running bitlbee as user
'nobody' by default. Make sure any existing configuration files are
readable by that user.

Add patches missed on last commit and fix build without python
* bitlbee always links to libintl.so and the configure script has no NLS option,
so add USES=gettext-runtime
* libgcrpyt requires libgpg-error, so add it to GNUTLS_LIB_DEPENDS
* nss requires nspr, so add it to NSS_LIB_DEPENDS
* Add USES=ssl for OpenSSL, its library dependency was completely undeclared
* otr requires libgcrypt, and thus also libgpg-error, so add those to
* Request the installed binary be stripped
* Mark LIBEVENT option BROKEN because bitlbee will not start in daemon (-D) or
fork (-F) mode when compiled with libevent; it exits almost immediately after
start unless run in foreground (-n). This problem has been present for at
least a year, recent past version of bitlbee also do not work, and the recent
update of libevent has not helped, so just mark it broken until someone takes
the initiative to debug and fix the issue.
* While here, remove python build dependency, it's not necessary anymore in
version 3.5.1

net-im/jabber: This port used the old API to give users fine grained
control over which crypto algorithms were used via a configuration file.
It's not immediately obvious how to port this to the new API so the port
always uses the defaults now.

Bump PORTREVISIONs of the gnutls dependant ports to chase gnutls update.
Fix a few "bad example" problems in the rc.d scripts that have been
propogated by copy and paste.
1. Primarily the "empty variable" default assignment, which is mostly
${name}_flags="", but fix a few others as well.
2. Where they are not already documented, add the existence of the _flags
(or other deleted empties) option to the comments, and in some cases add
comments from scratch.
3. Replace things that look like:
to just use %%PREFIX%%. In many cases the $prefix variable is only used
once, and in some cases it is not used at all.
4. In a few cases remove ${name}_flags from command_args
5. Remove a long-stale comment about putting the port's rc.d script in
/etc/rc.d (which is no longer necessary).
No PORTREVISION bumps because all of these changes are noops.

You've had a couple answers to that. Wyerhauser First Choice sounds like a good stock for two sided xerography in some instances. Among papers made for xerographic (and laser) printing, this paper offers ease of handling that's hard to beat in an inexpensive paper. Hammermill Laser will give you a sharper image. Hammermill Laser Plus may not be the best stock for two sided printng because of its holdout backing. Then again, that holdout backing (meant for use with hot wax in layout for offset printing) may be useful if you'd like to use it in conjunction with other papers (or other materials in general) because it allows for a wider range of adhesives and other mixed media treatments. I don't know about acidity in either case. The Wyerhauser has "archival quality" listed as one of its features, but it doesn't say precisely what that means. It shouldn't be too dificult to find out. Both of these papers are available through a number of mail order companies, probably including University Products and Gaylord. Since they're inexpensive, it wouldn't hurt to order a ream of each: if they're not suitable to this project, you'll almost certainly find other uses for them. The biggest questions here, though, are how you want to work with the paper and for what purpose. Both the papers mentioned do very well in accurate reproduction: you'll get a better *copy* on one of these than on Mohawk Superfine. But if you want to go beyond that, integrating the paper into the process instead of simply using it, the best thing would seem to be to swap some of the stock you've got on hand with surplus papers friends and colleagues have on hand and see what works best with the text or image you want to print. When you find what you're looking for, then all you have to do is remember who gave you the stock and hope they remember where they got it. . . Best, Karl Young

I love La Femme blushes and own a lot of them. This one looks, in the pan, like several of them that I own. As in, an intensely pigmented version of berry/fuchsia. This has some shimmer but it's definitely not overwhelming. I don't find this color special BUT what makes this a winner is that it's not so intensely pigmented that one wrong move turns you into the Mayor of Clownville. I mean, I LOVE me some blush and wearing a lot is kind of my thing. But some of the darker La Femmes are so pigmented that I don't feel I can wear them without seriously risking having to re-do my makeup. This one isn't like that, I find that it's really easy to work with and not as easy to overdo. Not an unusual color but a really nice blush that is easy to work with.

This is a very lovely product, the color is just not quite what I expected.
In the pan,"Orchid Ice" looks like a very bright medium pink with strong blue/purple undertones. On my NW15 skin, it shows up sort of a medium plummy blue-toned pink. The color reminds me a bit of MAC's "Deep Pink" Pro blush.
"Orchid Ice"is *very* intensely pigmented, so use a very light hand when applying. If applied lightly enough, this can make a surprisingly natural-looking pink "flush."
The texture of "Orchid Ice" is surprisingly smooth, with a commendable lack of graininess. I'm not a fan of the unabashedly cheap screw-top container, but at this price, I'm not going to complain.
Also, don't be scared off by the word "ice" in the name; this blush does have a fine blue sheen, but it's very subtle.
If you crave a clear, very cool blush color, I highly recommend that you check this out. Since I wanted a lighter color, I'll probably try "Lilac Lace" next time. I'm very glad to have "Orchid Ice" in my blush collection, though.

Orchid Ice is a medium pink laden plum frost with a subtle blue flash. Think of it as a softer, less sparkly, version of MAC Pink Pearl pigment. Welcome addition to my plum-purple blush/eye color collection. Gorgeous, gorgeous, true-color on FFF to DDD. Same color on skin as in pot. Super pigmented. So easy to blend. Cost $3 for palette refill (DDD NW45 or HIP818)

Memphis, Tenn.-In a highly anticipated match up between top five prospects Thaddeus Young and Brandan Wright, Wright led Brentwood Academy into Memphis' Mid-South Coliseum and came away with a 78-67 win over Mitchell High School.
Brandan Wright- 19 points on 9 of 14 from the field and 1 of 2 from the line, 8 rebounds (1 offensive), 2 blocks, 3 steals, 4 assists and 2 turnovers
Wright anchored the middle, around the top of the key, against the Mitchell half court trap. Besides the many nice feeds that he made out of the middle, Wright was constantly available as a pressure release for the Brentwood Academy guards. Down the stretch of the game when Mitchell was forced to go man-to-man, Wright took over the point guard positions.
Early in the game Wright got his points of midrange jumpers. As the game wore on, he scored more around the basket.
Still a defensive presence on the court, as always, Wright did not rack up the usual gaudy number of blocked shots. Playing more on the perimeter offensively, Wright was not as active as usual on the boards either.
Wright has improved his stock this high school season more than any other highly ranked prospect. He is playing with more strength and aggression on the offensive end. He is also controling games with his ball handling and passing, and he is using his right hand with much more authority.
Thaddeus Young on Brandan Wright: "He's a great player, very versatile. I didn't know he could push the ball like that. Over the years he has really gotten better."
Thaddeus Young- 31 points on 14 of 26 from the field, 1 of 3 from the arc and 2 of 3 from the line, 12 rebounds (7 offensive), 1 block, 3 steals, 0 assists and 2 turnovers
Guarded by Wright's younger brother Brian Wright in Brentwood Academy's man-to-man defense, Young hawked the ball like a true scorer. His seven offensive rebounds are evidence of his hunger to score. With his team behind the entire game, Young had to force the issue offensively and was effective in doing so.
Along with scoring on a handful of put backs, Wright made several sweeping left hand shots in the paint jumping off one foot. He also spun right on one drive and finished a 5-footer off the glass with his right hand. With Brandan Wright waiting for him around the basket, Young finished his moves with aggressive confidence. When Young did miss his first shot attempt in the lane, he was effective at retrieving his misses.
Young handled the ball well and drove it with authority, but all his effort was geared to getting his shot, leaving him without any assists. Whereas Wright played much more as a set up guy for his teammates as his team maintained a double digit lead throughout the game.
Young had a dynamic performance that resembled his strong play on the AAU circuit last spring and early summer. He is driving and shooting the ball with confidence and using his right hand effectively. Also impressive was how he tracked down balls off the glass.
Brandan Wright on Thaddeus Young: "He's a great player. He shoots the ball really well for a big guy. His three ball has gotten better since I saw him last, and he's good in the midrange also."
Supporting Cast
Joshua Bone- The sharp shooting guard took advantage of the porous Mitchell defense and the quick ball movement of Brentwood Academy's offense and knocked down 6 of 7 three-point shots. Bone finished with 22 points on 7 of 9 shooting from the field.
Brian Wright- The younger brother of Brandan Wright continues to elevate his game. Wright is establishing himself as a solid mid-major prospect as a combo forward. Wright took advantage of Mitchell's defensive focus on Brandan Wright and the double teaming of the ball on the perimeter to knock down midrange jumpers and to attack the basket. He finished with 16 points.
Brandon Brown- Finished with 11 points and 4 rebounds.
Brandon Powell- Scored 10 points on 3 of 12 shooting from the field. Powell, a Florida signee, has a lot of room for improvement in his ball handling skills, shot selection and overall feel for the game. Powell does have the ability to be a tough defender and rebounder from the shooting guard position.
Final Analysis
There was no head to head match up between the highly ranked players. Rarely were they ever matched up with each other. Young was the more aggressive scorer and rebounder, largely due to the desperation of being down by a large margin throughout the game. Wright was the better passer and was the stabilizer and anchor of Brentwood Academy's attack against Mitchell's pressure. Both players played very solid and effective games with Wright being the ultimate winner with Brentwood Academy coming out of Memphis with a win.

I really, really like Dulcinea Constanz! She also seems to be the option that has the most going for her, meaning, origin, plus part of your maiden name in there. I think your search could end with her.
I also really like Iselda itself, but the flow of Dulcinea Iselda isn't as great as the flow of Dulcinea Constanz. Same with Ardent. I really like the idea of Ardent , but the vowel to vowel transition in Dulcinea Ardent isn't great.~ Elisabeth Odelia "Elsie" ~ Gideon Boone ~

text: I am wondering how to say "confined to" in Romanian. I know that "confined" can be expressed by words such as "limitat", "restrâns", "mărginit" and the like, but I can't find how to link these words to the rest of the sentence. I was thinking of the preposition "la", i.e. "limitat/restrâns la ceva", but I couldn't find any text where I could confirm whether this usage is correct. I have seen the preposition "între" used after "restrâns" to mean something like "restricted between certain boundaries" but that is a different meaning, presenting a range. I am looking for the meaning closer to "merely consist of" as in, for example "his social interaction is confined to small-talk with colleagues at work and now and then encounters with the neighbors". I am hoping someone can suggest what phrase would be appropriate in such a context. Thank you in advance

Steven's 140th Commencement ceremonies are expected to resume within the hour -- albeit indoors.
School officials just announced to those waiting in the Cavanan Arena that two undergraduate ceremonies will now take place indoors due to the weather conditions outside.
Starting at around 12:15 p.m., the Schaefer School of Engineering will hold its commencement exercises inside of the Cavanan Area.
A short time later, another ceremony will take place in the DeBaun Auditorium for students and families of the College of Arts and Letters and School of Business.
Both ceremonies will feature an address from keynote speaker Greg Gianforte, who the school will award an honorary Doctor of Engineering degree.
Commencement exercises had been underway when shortly after 11 a.m. the DeBaun Athletic Complex needed to be cleared out due to thunderstorms that developed in Hoboken.

I'm 20 years old and very unhappy with the size of my nipples and and considering surgery. They are both about 8-9 cm in diameter. I have no plans to have children in the near future. What do I need to know about nipple surgery?
What Do I Need to Know About Areola Reduction?
Doctor Answers 5
Areola reduction
I would recommend seeing a plastic surgeon for an evaluation in order to discuss your options. Your areolae may be enlarged if the breasts are very large, or if you have tuberous breasts, in which the breast tissue tends to grow out and "flop" down instead of forming a typical round mound on the chest. Areola reduction itself is a straightforward procedure in which the excess pigmented tissue is removed and sutures are placed around the entire areola. However, if you have large breasts or tuberous breasts, additional surgery on the breast might be necessary to achieve the shape you desire. Many women still have normal sensation of the nipples and are able to breastfeed after this type of surgery. Good luck.
Areolar Reduction
Although it seems like it would be easy to just cut the outer circumference of the areola to reduce the diameter, there are a number of things to consider regarding the outcome.
Lets say that with your diameter areola of 8 to 9cm, (this is quite large) you wanted to have a reduction to a 4cm diameter. This means that the radius of the your areola will be reduced by 2 to 2.5 cm. When this is done, the nipple will essentially be raised that much higher on your breast. This is OK if your breast are sagging but if they are not they could be sitting too high.
Another important thing to consider is that the difference in circumference between a 8cm diameter and a 4 cm is over 12 cm. This means that the big circle left on the outside of the areola which was left after cutting away the nipple border has a circumference 12cm larger than the new nipple border. If this is sutured without a permanent suture to retain the diameter, then the big outer circle will eventually stretch the smaller areolar circle back to close to it's original size. There is also a chance of puckering around the border.
An areolar reduction does not interfere with breast feeding but make sure you consider the above issues. I would recommend a compromise to my patient of maybe a diameter of 5 to 6 cm to reduce the discrepancy.
Areola reduction.
Areola reduction surgery may be very effective in reducing the size of the areola. However, this procedure may be associated with unsatisfactory results. For example, you may find that the breast profile is flattened after this procedure.
It is also important to know that the areola scar will always be noticeable (some more than others). This may be because the scar heals with too much or too little pigment or because the scar is raised. You should also be aware, that areola reduction surgery does carry other risks such as spreading of the areola, asymmetry, shape irregularity etc. in order to avoid disappointment, it behooves you to be aware of the worse case scenario and, armed with that information decide whether to proceed with the procedure, or not.
Make sure you are evaluated by a well trained/experienced board-certified plastic surgeon (and see many examples of his/her work) to maximize your chances of a successful results.
Best wishes.

Different options in areola reduction
Patients today have many different options in the reduction of the areola. The most important first step is to determine if this is all that the patient needs to create a pleasing breast shape and appearance. In many patients, the large areola may also be a component of an abnormally shaped breast caused from tuberous breast deformity or natural sagging of the breast. Your plastic surgeon will be able to review your options and help you decide which procedures will create a balanced and beautiful breast shape and appearance.
The procedure is relatively straight forward
The procedure is relatively straight forward but when your areola are this wide, you may have a tuberous or constricted breast, especially if you have not had children.
Also, if your breasts are large, the proportionality has to be kept in mind to.
I would recommend that you visit with a board-certified plastic surgeon so they can examine you and go over your options.

Back in May, two articles looked at the dividend growth potential of Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) and Altria Group (NYSE:MO). Since then, Altria has raised its dividend and Intel has recently had a significant pullback in its share price, going from $29 to the $24 range. Hence, this exercise revisits the dividend growth potential of both stocks, keeping in mind the most recent happenings. The article also notes some of the often repeated but loud concerns about these two companies and concludes with a simple but powerful message about dividend growth investing.
Intel Dividend Analysis: Let us begin with Intel. The article linked above on Intel assumed an 8% annual dividend increase over the next 10 years. Intel ended up increasing its dividend by about 7.2% recently. The payout ratio, as a result of the increase and earnings has now gone up to 38% but that is still well below its average payout ratio of 45%.
New Dividend Extrapolation: The table below compares favorably with the one shown in the original Intel article, with the expected yield on original cost going up a full percentage point. The table assumes the same 8% dividend increase over the next 10 years.
This is due to the recent pull back in Intel's price due to the never ending concerns over slowing PC sales and also the increased dividend. The slowing PC sales has been a concern for all traditional technology companies but Intel is certainly not sitting on its glory. The upcoming motorola smartphone might be Intel's first big parade into the mobile space, currently dominated by its competitors.
So, in other words, if you as a dividend investor were ready to buy Intel back in May, you should be even more eager to buy it now. The famous 4% yield point is not too far off at $22.5.
Altria Dividend Analysis: The original article on Altria assumed a dividend increase of 6% per year. Altria, as usual, surprised on the upside with a better than expected increase of about 7%. The payout ratio has come down since the last writing and now stands at a "comfortable" 81%, thanks to a better than expected earnings report recently. The link above also states the company maintained its expected EPS near the analysts expectations. The company's website says the target dividend payout ratio is 80%, exactly where it is right now making the dividends relatively safe, especially given its loyalty to investors.
New Dividend Extrapolation: With the new dividend increase, Altria's simple moving average (past 5 increases, not necessarily 5 years) dividend growth rate has fallen to 6.5% from the earlier 7%. But the table below uses the same 6% rate used in the original article since the difference is not too large. Unlike Intel, Altria's yield on original cost has not changed much as the increase in dividend has been compensated by the increase in share price, keeping the yield the same. But the expected yield is still impressive, almost giving us a double bagger.
While it's hard to ignore the potential troubles for US tobacco companies, Altria somehow manages to motor along and be a cash cow for its investors. We've also written bearish pieces on Altria but maybe it's time to eat the crow with this beauty of a thing. One can do much worse than buying a proven dividend payer at 15 times earnings at a 5.2% yield point.
The Message: The predicted dividend increase and the actual increase on these two companies were not too far off. What does that tell you, if the average Joes are able to almost perfectly guess their dividend income? Well, it says nothing about the Joes but everything about the stocks in question. Just one word. Reliability. Or make it two words, Reliable Income. As noted by a few authors in past articles here on Seeking Alpha, this simplicity is the power of dividend growth investing. Value and dividend investors can meanwhile look forward to the imminent dividend increase from Philip Morris (NYSE:PM).
Disclosure: I am long PM. Long Intel through selling Jan 2014 puts. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.

Where is the link for the Digger gay truck driver stories from the UK?
I once found a web site with stories/memories of DIGGER a British gay truck driver and his adventures - can anyone give me the link?
Try www.gaybooks.com
Why are there so many gay/bisexual/straight truck drivers who seem to be doing homosexual activities?
I'm not about to say theres anything wrong with this so long as its safe but is it the same as prisoners and sailors turning towards each other? Is there any form of support for the wives, how should we view this case and see it as just being a case of men having seven times more testosterone than women so they are always more horny.
Being a gay lad myself, I often wonder would i be better off at a truckers cafe rather than a gay bar?
btw truckers you do a great job respect to you all.
I'm not sure how you know about the sex lives of truck drivers, especially if you never have sex with them. I'm sure some get lonely on the road. Some might just be 100% gay and unattached. Maybe some just want to watch the same movie and you just think you know what happens behind closed doors. Get out there and try the truck stop if you want to find out. Just use half a brain so you don't get killed.
Why are gay men never in occupations like builders, doctors and truck drivers?
I know that this sounds random, but you never see gay men in jobs like the three mentioned.
I have to disagree as well! I know a couple of gay doctors, I was in a 3 year relationship with a guy who managed construction sites, and one of my best friends is a truck driver!
Gay or bisexual truck drivers?
How difficult is it to meet guys on the road ?
As a 16 year veteran in the industry, 12 of them over the road, let me amend the question:
How difficult is it to meet ANY ONE?
There are a lot of gay truck drivers out there, no question about it. There are a lot of homophobic nut cases out there too.
Remember that over the road (OTR) driving means DRIVING. You typically run until you're out of hours for the day, stop, get your ten hour rest, then run some more the next day. Most of your "spare" time is either at a shipper or consignee, waiting for some dolt on a forklift to get around to putting something on the truck, or take it off. Not a lot of dating opportunities there.
Truck stops offer a chance for some interesting conversations with your fellow drivers: assuming you really wanted to talk to a reefer driver at 2 am over dinner and hear the same conversation he had on the CB for the last 18 hours:
"So then I took a load of tomaters down to Florida, then from there I took some oranges up to Boston, and ..."
There's a reason I pulled the CB out of the truck years ago. I'm convinced at this point that there is a special "southern accent" filter built into CB's similar to a connex board (reverb effect). Also the fact that Mr. Reefer seems to babble on his CB from the moment he wakes up until the moment he goes to bed each day and doesn't stop the entire day. Makes life interesting as you try to tell the passing Swift truck that he doesn't have any lights because the pigtail's hanging on the catwalk since he left Hoboken six days ago.
I think you'll meet a lot more guys on your days off than you will OTR. Plus do you really want to meet Mr. Sexy Voice on the radio only to find out he's 600 lbs, chain smoke Marlboros with a 72 pack a day habit, and hasn't taken a shower in a week? Ewww.
As far as being gay and in the industry: I was a trainer at one of the biggest flatbed carriers for 12 years, and it was pretty homophobic. I had a lot of problems with students going nuts when they found out I wasn't married - let alone gay, which I didn't disclose until shortly before resigning. One of the the training supervisors thought it would be "funny" to put an openly gay student with a homophobic trainer - and it took five people to pull the trainer off the poor student on the front steps of the training office as he tried to kill the student. Lots of laughs there as everyone was quite visibly shaken, the supervisor being one of the people who had to pull the trainer off the student. Definitely a "moment with management" discussion after that with everyone involved.
My local carrier today is a totally different story. I'm completely out to the drivers and management, and it's just a joy to work here. Very, very supportive.
So my best advice is, go OTR for a year, get your experience, then find a local carrier and get a real life on your own time. I truly loved life OTR, but now that it's over, I don't think there's much of anything you could do to convince me to go and live in a tin can on wheels 24/7 again.
Take care. There's a gay life out there OTR, but be careful.
If the truck is pink and has those novelty "balls" that are on the back. Then you have yourself a winner.
Why do people say all women truck drivers are like men,or they are stupid, and say they are ugly,or gay?
I started driving when i was 25, and have been to every state, except hawaii/alaska. I am 5'9 130lbs and have never been called ugly before,.... I think that these days more and more very pretty women are finding that they can drive a truck that a man can do as well! I was second in my class of 120 men, and there were 5 other women in the class. every man there said i wouldn't last a day, and it was funny when i got a better score on the written and driving test than every man there except one! and he was there for his second time(he failed the first road test). I even drove on the street my first test drive and did not grind one gear, and the trainer got out and shook my hand and said he has never had a student shift like that ever! Man or woman! I know that some will say that i did good only because of how i look, but it is not true,i am not stupid. why is it so hard for women to get credit for a good job without being called a wanna be man?
In a word: ignorance. Truck driving is a great option for women and many of us do it, along with lots of other traditionally "male" jobs. Sadly, male egos are so fragile that many of them find a need to make bad jokes or say stupid things to cover up their own inadequacies and insecurities. Some women, who are intimidated by independence and conditioned to be submissive, join them in their verbal abuse. But do not let it effect you. Remember the source and just be glad that you are a more mature, intelligent and creative person. A keep on truckin!
How to find out if too pick up truck drivers?
is it true about the purple light on the back of trucks mean that the driver is gay????
Absolutely. You are suppose to knock twice on the door really fast, pause, than knock three times fast.
Seeking friendship with truck drivers,how do I find any on here?
I'm not gay or a homo,I'm seeking friendship with truck drivers on here.People are just mean.I'm not a lot lizzard type. I'm only seeking friendship with drivers to possibly team up with the right one by August.I have 4yrs.experience of driving,I have nothing on my mvr,nothing to go against me getting hired on with a company on my dac.I'm easy to get along with.I don't want negative answers on here, please.Thank you

A request for voluntary annexation of land for a new residential subdivision has won first-round approval from the city's planning and zoning commission.
During a special meeting Wednesday evening, plan board members voted unanimously to recommend annexing the 6.72-acre parcel off of Rabbit Trail Drive.
The recommendation was sent to the city council which will hold a public hearing Monday, June 17, on the request from John Paul and Nancy Quick, Owensville.
Vic Hoerstkamp with Northern Star Homes has a contract to purchase the property for the proposed Malvern Hill subdivision.
The new subdivision will be the first utilizing the city's new R-1D residential zoning classification which allows minimum lot sizes of 7,500 square feet rather than the 10,000-square-foot lot sizes in R-1A developments.
The city council this week officially adopted the new zoning district classification.
The plan board reviewed the request for Malvern Hill at its meeting last week but tabled it because the new R-1D district had not been approved. At that time the board agreed to call a special meeting to expedite the request.
In related business Wednesday, the board recommended preliminary plat approval for Malvern Hill, which also will go to the city council for final approval.
The project calls for the extension of Rabbit Trail to the south and three cul-de-sac streets extending on the west side where lots will be developed.
The plan calls for zoning 4.45 acres as R-1C for duplex units along two of the cul-de-sacs and the balance of property R-1D for 10 lots, most of which are 7,500 square feet. Two lots at the end of the cul-de-sac are much larger, however.
Water Issue
A portion of the meeting was spent discussing the water flow pressure to the property for fire protection. It was first thought that the area was required to meet a 1,250 gallon per minute flow rate, which it does not. But that issue was resolved when City Counselor Mark Piontek checked the codes and determined that a 1,000 gallon per minute flow rate is required for R-1 residential developments.
Express Concerns
Several residents of a nearby condominum development on Rabbit Trail attended the meeting and two of them expressed concerns about the new development.
Roger Blumer, president of the condo association, said he is concerned about concrete trucks damaging Rabbit Trail as they make deliveries to the new subdivision. He suggested building a temporary road from the end of Rabbit Trail to Bieker Road for concrete trucks.
"We can't do that," said Piontek. "It's someone else's property."
"You (city) will be paying to fix the streets," Blumer said.
"Concrete trucks drove from Highway 100 up Rabbit Trail to build your house," City Engineer Dan Boyce told Blumer. Concrete trucks have to go over streets all over town to build homes, he noted.
Blumer also said there is a problem with trucks and cars speeding on Rabbit Trail.
"That's not an issue for planning and zoning," remarked Tom Holdmeier, board chairman.
Tom Fenner, a resident, said he was concerned that the new development would not have a homeowners' association to provide for maintenance of the properties. He said homeowners in the condo development contribute money annually to maintain their properties.
Fenner also questioned that there are no sidewalks proposed in the new subdivision. "Where will the children play?" he asked.
Holdmeier pointed out that city codes do not require a developer to build sidewalks.
Hoerstkamp told the group that an association will be formed for the subdivision.
"This will look good," Hoerstkamp said. "It will be well maintained."

Mount Toll Overview
The Colorado Indian Peak Wilderness is home to many of the best hiking and climbing routes in the state. Only two hours from Denver, they are a popular destination for the novice day hiker, so start early and you can get some solitude. I have personally developed a passion for this magnificent area and will continue to add more of these beautiful mountains to Summitpost in the future. from the popular Brainard Lake Trail, many have looked at Toll and asked, "What's that mountain!" I personally believe Mount Toll (12,979 ft.) is the king of the Blue Lakes Drainage, outshining its higher and more popular neighbors, Paiute Peak (13,088 ft.) and Mount Audubon (13,223 ft).
Located on the Continental Divide about .6 miles south from Paiute Peak, Mount Toll offers a variety of mountaineering. Anyone with experience climbing Toll's 5.6 North Ridge Route, or the 5.6 Northeast Face is welcome to add the route to this page. I will describe the standard class 2 route from Long Lake Trailhead.
If you are going to try Mount Toll, allow plenty of time, it is 10.5 miles and 3,300 ft. of vertical. You can also do Mount Toll from the Mitchell Lakes Trailhead. In fact, a Long Lake approach with a Mitchell Lake decent would be a nice tour of two beautiful drainages. If you have time and the energy, go back to Pawnee Pass and continue another .5 mile up and over point 12,878 and on to Shashoni Peak (12,979 ft.) The views of Apache and Navajo Peak are to remember. From the summit of Shashoni you can drop straight down into the basin and eventually meet up with the Pawnee Pass Trail, albeit it is quite steep and will test your knees. Add about another hour and a half and 700 vertical to get from Toll to Shashoni.
Long Lake TH-Brainard LakeTo reach the Brainard Lake Road from the north follow Colorado 72 or the Peak to Peak Highway, south for 10.2 miles from the junction with highway 7. For the southern approach, go north 12 miles from Colorado 72 in Nederland to the town of Ward, the Brainard Lake Road is just north of here. Turn west on Brainard Lake Road and go 5 miles on paved road to Brainard Lake. Follow the Long Lake Trailhead signs another .5 mile to a large parking area. There is a $6.00 fee to enter this recreation area.
Red Tape
Peak to Peak CampingHere is an excellent link for Colorado Camping Reservations. An additional reservation fee of $8.65 is charged for this service. It might be worth it.
Most campgrounds in Roosevelt National Forest offer drinking water and toilet facilities. Approximately half are on a first-come, first-served basis; the rest are on a reservation system.
To reserve a campsite, call 1-800-280-2267for the hearing impaired), or register online via the National Recreation Reservation Service Internet site at http://reserveusa.com. Reservations can be made up to 240 days in advance. A camp fee of $12 per night, plus $6 for each additional car, is charged at all campgrounds with water systems. Services and fees discontinue when use declines, usually early to mid-October.
(Note: Most of the above info copy and pasted from this site.)
Current ConditionsClick image to enlarge
The Brainard Lake Recreation Area is closed from mid October to mid June every season. It is approximatly a 5 mile drive from the gate closure to the trailheads during this stretch of closure. Usually by early April the snow has melted off the paved road leading to the trailheads. You can easily ride a bike to the TH, many people do.

Due to illness the show at Club Devolution on November 18 is cancelled.
Next show is at Club Devolution on November 18, 2016.
Address: Hornsgatan 104, Stockholm.
Must be 20 to attend.
The new song, "Like A Storm", is now available on Spotify, iTunes, Bandcamp, Amazon, Google Play, SoundCloud and Deezer. There is an issue with the pricing of the song on iTunes…
When I uploaded the track I uploaded it as a "single release" on the music aggregator's website which is a digital music distribution service between the artist and the big music platforms such as Spotify, iTunes, Google Play, Amazon, Tidal and Deezer. It's a stand-alone release… a single. On Spotify and iTunes it shows up as an EP which is incorrect. It should be under "single". The price on iTunes is also incorrect. It has the price of an EP or a full album. In other words the price is too high. The price on Google Play and Amazon is correct which is what one song usually costs there. Deezer only offers streaming and the song is correctly marked as a single.
I have been in touch with the aggregator and Apple. The cause for this seems to be that all these music platforms have their own algorithm and have interpreted the song file differently. Spotify and Apple decided it was an EP most likely due to the song being 14 minutes long. Apple says this is not the case but the aggregator says it is. Neither the aggregator or Apple "can" do anything to correct this error. Everything points towards Apple's and Spotify's algorithm being incorrect by basing the song on its length and not on the fact that it was uploaded as a "single release".
So at the moment the type of release (EP) of the song on Spotify and iTunes is incorrect as well as the price on iTunes. I'm not happy about this but it's out of my control. I have done what I can to correct this. It's very unfortunate since iTunes is a popular place to buy music. As a new band iTunes is very vital in terms of digital sales.
So I recommend to those interested in purchasing the song to do so at Bandcamp or Google Play. The song is also available for streaming on Bandcamp and YouTube. I can no longer recommend SoundCloud due to its poor audio quality.

Foghorn Lonesome's debut album is since March 2016 out on several platforms… Spotify, iTunes, Bandcamp, Amazon, Google Play, SoundCloud and YouTube.
The track order on all platforms except for Bandcamp, SoundCloud and YouTube is incorrect. Track 4 and 5 are in reverse order. Their fault. Not mine. I've been compensated for it. Thank you for your support.

Stuff with the Perl Foundation. A couple of patches in the Perl core. A few CPAN modules. That about sums it up.
Update: Has anyone else been getting a lot of "can't connect" or similar errors. Lately I've been getting them constantly here, regardless of whether I'm posting from home or work.
I'd love to have a proper IDE. So tell me, how I figure out all of the method names in a class? Well, many are built up in BEGIN blocks:
no strict 'refs';
foreach my $token (qw( plan comment test bailout version unknown yaml )) {
my $method = "is_$token";
*$method = sub { return $token eq shift->type };
Or at runtime:
package Employee;
use base qw(Class::Accessor);
Employee->mk_accessors(qw(name role salary));
... via Moose:
package Point;
use Moose;
has 'x' => (is => 'rw', isa => 'Int');
has 'y' => (is => 'rw', isa => 'Int');
... maybe Spiffy:
package Keen;
use Spiffy -Base;
field 'mirth';
const mood => ':-)';
sub happy {
if ($self->mood eq ':-(') {
print "Cheer up!";
Or via AUTOLOAD, defined in XS files, etc.
So how do I figure out those methods short of running the code? I can't. Hell, even if I could, this could easily trip me up:
package Foo;
use HTML::Entities 'encode_entities';
# later
if ( Foo->can('encode_entities') ) {
... } # danger!
I could check to see if the method was defined in the class hierarchy:
use Sub::Information;
if ( $class->isa( inspect( $class->can($method) )->package ) ) {
... }
But that's a pain and breaks in all sorts of annoying scenarios. But maybe it really does mean that this is the method I want? Well, it can't tell me that.
if ( $object->can('name') ) {
Well, does that really take an argument, instead of &get_name? And is is really a void method?
These things are frustrating to me because what I would really love to do with Bermuda is include deserialization. I'm not sure how to do that. Perl is too random and has no real introspective capabilities. Perl 6 solves a lot of this, but I'm writing Perl 5. Moose might help, but having a generic serialization tool and a custom deserialization tool? That's no good (though I wouldn't mind custom tools to be built on a generic system).
If I want deserialization, I'll have to figure out how to add that to the Bermuda "islands".
Of course, this problem is wider than just Perl. Even being able to deterministically list all methods and know which ones are actually for "fields" (or slots, or properties, or whatever your term of choice is), doesn't tell me much about the intent of those methods. This, I think, is THE big hurdle that programming needs to solve. Behavior is in the code and intent is in our heads.
This, I think, is THE big hurdle that programming needs to solve. Behavior is in the code and intent is in our heads.
This is also why syntax is such a small part of maintainability. It's the difference between phonics and vocabulary.
So how do I figure out those methods short of running the code? I can't.
Without some kind of static analysis, you are just not going to be able to do that, but even that most likely won't get you what you want.
Think for a moment about introspecting classes without executing code. If you look at a language like Perl 6, where classes can be created, destroyed and modified at runtime. You need to have a highly dynamic meta-model and a meta-model is a living thing which means you have to execute some c
While Perl 6 will surely provide a better API to this kind of stuff, I actually suspect that we will actually lose some of this introspection capabilities in the end (unless someone write B::PIR or something).
I can think of someone who has experience with Parrot, PIR, the Perl 6 object system, and the B:: modules.... I'm waiting for a couple of other pieces of Parrot to be ready before that will work.
Hey, just noticed this link. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one.

Anoka County needs 60,000 cubic yards of sand underneath a segment of Bunker Lake Boulevard being reconstructed and it will not have to go far to get this fill.
The Andover City Council Tuesday night unanimously approved a conditional use permit for the Sonsteby family and North Pine Aggregate of Forest Lake to excavate this sand from the northeast corner of Bunker Lake Boulevard and Seventh Avenue. It will be replaced by 20,000 cubic yards of black dirt that will be leveled off to create a new topsoil layer, according to Brent Jensen, vice president of North Pine Aggregate.
"It should blend into what's in there now," Jensen told the Andover Planning and Zoning Commission May 14. "I don't think by the time the road construction is done that anybody will even notice the difference in the field."
City Planner Stephanie Hanson said the conditional use permit requires the site to be new grass after the excavation is complete and the black dirt is leveled off.
The work will take place while Bunker Lake Boulevard is being reconstructed by Anoka County from 38th Avenue to Seventh Avenue. A short stretch of Seventh Avenue north and south of Bunker Lake Boulevard is also being reconstructed this summer. City Engineer and Public Works Director David Berkowitz has heard the road could be open to through traffic by winter, but the project would not be finished until next year.
Currently, the section of Bunker Lake Boulevard west of 38th Avenue is only supposed to be used by residents that live on Blackfoot Street because they have no other alternative route out or into their neighborhood. The closest suggested county east-west route detour is 157th Avenue (County Road 20).
These Blackfoot Street residents are the closest to the temporary mining site. Nobody spoke for or against the project at the May 14 planning and zoning commission public hearing.
The commission did question the Sonsteby family's reasoning for only bringing in 20,000 cubic yards of black dirt after Berkowitz said gravity sanitary sewer can serve the area with the lowering of the site elevation, but the units on the west side of the property may be limited to slab on grade and building styles may also be restricted on the rest of the property.
According to Glen Sonsteby, who represented his mother Rosella Sonsteby at both city meetings, the site is not level now and would be more level after this project is completed.
Jensen said most of the sand will come from a high ridge on the western half of the property.
City Administrator Jim Dickinson said that the land use plan for this property is commercial and high density housing.
Councilmember Mike Knight asked if split level housing, which would have a limited basement depth, would be allowed.
Berkowitz said that could be possible, but Dickinson said there probably would not be split level housing because of the high density residential plan.
"It's their property, I don't have any issue with that," Councilmember Tony Howard said. "They just got to know that in the long run, it's going to have some effect."

Comment on 5 Reasons Your Ex Is Contacting You by Love Doctor, Yangki Christine Akiteng.
I can't say with 100% certainty that he is messing with you. It is possible that there is someone else in the picture and he felt guilty that he was in contact with his ex. But it's also possible that it's payback for you not responding to his texts.
What I can say with 100% certainty is that what you did and what he may be doing (if he is paying you back for not responding to his texts) isn't a healthy way to have a relationship. One of you has to grow up, if this relationship has to have any chance.
Love Doctor, Yangki Christine Akiteng Also Commented
5 Reasons Your Ex Is Contacting You
You shouldn't worry about where his head is at, his actions speak volumes. Focus on your new relationship.
5 Reasons Your Ex Is Contacting You
You know he didn't call because he cares about how you're doing. He called to see if you miss him and to see if you'd jump to get back together. If he is the self-absorbed narcissist you say he is, he'll contact you again, I'm sure of it.
5 Reasons Your Ex Is Contacting You
Be upfront and direct with her and tell her you want to help her get closure, but you've reached a point where you feel there is nothing you can do to help her. You're exhausted and just want to move on but can't with her keeping you stuck in the past. You strongly feel that you need to take care of you. Then encourage her to see a local counsellor. She'll probably feel more betrayed, but what else can you do? If she continues to contact you and you don't respond, she will know why.
Recent Comments by Love Doctor, Yangki Christine Akiteng
Does Someone Doing "No Contact" Love You?
I hear your pain… but you are right, it's much better than the alternative.
Anyone who makes others want to be more caring (in my book) is a special kind of person. I know it's not much comfort, but may be that's what this relationship was about. You were only there in his life to facilitate his growth into a better person. The person for you is waiting for you… and it's only a matter of time.
Does Someone Doing "No Contact" Love You?
Have you thought of contacting her and trying to slowly work things out instead of going for the "quick fix"?
Why Someone You Love Doesn't Want You
Sometimes life does give us second chances…
Until someone makes it so clear that it is indeed "O-V-E-R" (not swinging back and forth) or is happy in a new relationship, there is always a chance to do it right the second time round.
The catch is that you have to be well positioned to take that chance — or you'll blow it!
Contact and How Not to Pressure Your Ex
Sad and neglected was probably how he felt when you didn't respond until after 3 weeks. He may be giving you a taste of your own medicine, or may he decided it's best to move on.
After 3 attempts with no response, it may be best to wait and see if he contacts you. Then decide if you want to re-establish contact or not.
5 Reasons To Maintain Contact With Your Ex
I'm happy for you! That's a big step forward.
I've said it elsewhere, if you are the one who wants the other person back, you have to be willing to do most of the heavy lifting and "dirty jobs" in the initial stages. If you do it right, it will pay off and things will even out.
Keep us updated!

How many guns and other weapons do you carry? Ayoob says to carry two...
This was a great article on carrying two weapons.
I carry a Glock G36, a small .38 revolver and a P238. You never know when you might need more then one pistol and I wouldnt feel safe without carrying all three on my person.

Have you trained with all of them? Shooting the small guns needs a touch of practice?
The newest SWAT has a nice article on small guns, and I have one in the hopper for Pax.
Don't forget the two knives, two flashlights, OC and cell phone.

Thats a good question. I have used every pistol that I own at a range many times. I have brought them out to the desert and other open places to do some creative shooting.
Im wondering what type of creative training exercises you can come up with since the places I have shot at are relatively controlled scenarios.

You need to look in your area for training courses. It's pretty clear to most that range time only is insufficient for more intense scenarios.
Most DGUs are handled by untrained folk - single mugger, burglar - who you yell at or take a shot at. However, if you are going for the full ride - which carrying all those guns imply - you need to shoot more than paper with home grown exercises.

If one was truly tac - you would have the G36 with an IWB, the J frame in a pocket holster and the 238 on your ankle!
Seen it done with similar gear. Isn't so hard. Just don't fall in the lake.
Also, you need two reload mags for the G36 on the opposite side. Maybe a speed strip for the J in another pocket. Forget the reloads for the 238 - the zombies got to you by then.

I carry one on me and one in the car console. I don't have a tactical flashlight, nor a tactical baton, nor a tactical knife, nor a tactical brass knuckles, nor a tactical ball-point pen. I do have a fairly sturdy folding umbrella but it's in the trunk.
My philosophy is retreat if possible. I'm not part of a SWAT team nor am I a SWAT team wannabe. I got a minus 45 on the Mall Ninja test.
I'm fortunate in having several acres of my own land in a rural area where the neighbors shoot as much or more than I do. I have no range restrictions which must consider the safety of other shooters.
I practice drawing and dry fire. Then drawing and live fire. My target is a sheet of typing paper at fifteen feet, sometimes more, sometimes less.
I know it would be good to shoot at more than paper but, so far, I've had no volunteers.

Old saying about carry guns.. "One is none, two is one."
When I'm working, it's usually a Glock 20 IWB, Glock 29 elsewhere with a +2 mag and 2-3 extra 15rd magazines but there's only a handful of folks out there who can switch a mag faster than a New York reload. Usually tuck a Ruger LCP with one reload in my clothing or vest as well.
1-2 knives, usually one fixed (fighter) one assisted-opening folder (utility, backup). Impact device(s) such as a Comtech Stinger, Kubotan, etc. in various locations. 9P or G2 flashlight. 1-2 sets of Peerless 700s or 801s. Sometimes other various items (ASP, OC, etc.).
Might be swapping out for a Springer 1911 Pro and Kobra Carry at some point, haven't made the leap yet.
Oh, and don't forget the Raybans or Oaks with a skinnie tie. Completes the look.
edit: Honestly the only heavy parts of my kit are the extra mags. The guns are fairly light being polymer frame. The knives are light and spread around. The G2 is a light, powerful torch. A set of Peerless 801s can be tucked anywhere. Fully loaded I can bang out a sub-7min mile and a sub-60 second 400m, and I know guys who can load more gear and destroy my times.

How many guns and other weapons do you carry?
For me I carry these
#1 Mindset Be aware, alert
#2 Hands, Feet , Legs Avoid the situation if possible
#3 Knife Always at least a folder, sometimes a double edge straight blade
#4 Concealed Pistol, revolver, etc.

I guess it comes down to where you draw the line. I won't argue against you.. because just by carrying a gun, one is preparing for something with is very likely never going to happen. So why not defy the odds another few percentage points and prepare for an incident in which you might have to reload or use multiple guns.
Either way.. I wouldn't ever carry more than one gun, but that's just me.

I carried several one time, not because I felt it necessary, just to try a CC experiment and see if anyone noticed. Full size XD9 IWB, two extra magazines in the XD gear clip on the opposite side of the belt. 637 in the right hand pocket with 2 speed strips. Beretta Bobcat in the left hand pocket, with one extra magazine. It was all concealed carry and no one ever noticed, not even my wife. I noticed that it was heavy and uncomfortable. I also felt less safe, because I figured I had a better chance of drowning then getting mugged. It was kind of fun just to try it though, and now when I carry my one gun I never even give it a thought that somebody might notice.

2 is sufficient
I think its a good idea to have your SD sidearm with 2 extra mags plus a BUG with 1 reload. I'd like a Kimber Super Carry Pro 4" barrel with 2 8rd Wilson combats on my belt one in the gun +1 in the pipe giving me 9 45ACP's to start with. A BUG to me it only makes sense to be a revolver. Model 19 .357 mag with a 2" barrel would be nice with a reload. I think thats good, I mean I'd feel 100% fine with just the Kimber however.

I always have a Case XX 61048 in my pocket. Known as the 'Dixie Switch' because before the popularity of automatic knives it could be easily opened with one hand. That and one of 3 carry guns depending on what day and my mood. A 340PD, a SigP338 or a Kahr P9. If I can't get by with that I deserve whatever I get.

Guns are like parachutes...
...always pack one more than you think you'll need.
J.W. Hardin (whom family tradition holds was related to us) lived a far more exciting life than I hope I will ever have. If I were him, yeah, I'd have a few extra firearms handy.
I'd hate to get caught short, but I just don't want to live my life that way. One weapon seems pretty reasonable to me, most of the time.

correct me if i am wrong but doesn't the us military send most soliders into battle with just 1 gun? what percentage of soldiers are issued both a rifle and a sidearm?
if soldiers go knowingly into harms way with only 1 or 2 guns why would a civilian need 2 or 3 or more guns? most people "not" looking for trouble will never find trouble. of course if trouble did find you then you might wish you had a half a dozen guns and a couple of rpg's and the seals backing you up.
people get struck by lightening but i don't see anyone one walking around wearing insulation with thick rubber gloves and boots.
personally a single gun with a reload is about all i'm prepared to carry. if you don't trust your gun then buy one that you can trust instead of just carrying more guns. if you have to travel to dangerous areas consider a bug but i see no sense in carrying 15 or 20 pounds of guns, mags, bullets and holsters for an event that is not likely to happen.
ya only got 1 arm and ya carry 3 guns for Christs sake. Well I don't want to get killed for lack of shooting back.

Oh dear - we are going off into this debate again!
The OP should have really searched on this as it's been beaten into the ground.
Yes, most gun usages are not equipment intense. No shots fired. A small percent may be intense with gun failures, disarms, etc.
The idea is whether you want to have the extra equipment objects for the low percentage but severe consequence critical incident.
It's your decision. It's also like training, you may not need it but when in the tail of the distribution of severe critical incidents, you do.
That's why I asked the OP if he seriously trained with the hardware besides just paper punching.
It's Mister Mugger goes away or Oh, my - I'm in Mumbai!
Anybody going to say anything new?

Sometimes, one. Often none. Never two.
Then again, I also don't like carrying my wallet or my keys. If I carry my gun, I've got to have my wallet too - that's 2 things right there. Anything more than 3 things, and you might as well carry a purse.

Seniors are among some of the most vulnerable members of the community. There is still a disparity in their ability to gain access to adequate legal assistance, abuse protection, financial guidance, healthcare benefits, fair and affordable housing and much more.
The Senior Advocacy Network – Senior Law Project is a nonprofit organization (501(c)(3)) dedicated to bridging that gap by advocating for the health, social and legal needs of seniors. We provide legal services to residents of Stanislaus County, California, age 60 and older. There are no income requirements; our services are no or low cost.
The Senior Advocacy Network – Senior Law Project takes a holistic approach to solving the legal needs of seniors by also addressing underlying social and health issues. Not only do we provide legal counsel and help seniors connect with beneficial senior assistance programs, but we also work to help seniors resolve legal issues without having to resort to litigation.
For more information on our services or to request an initial consultation, please contact us by calling (209) 577-3814. One of our friendly and caring representatives will be happy to answer all your questions and help you get started.

BACKGROUND: Selection of patients for hepatic resection of colorectal liver metastases is still limited. After conventional work up by computed tomography (CT) scan, 60% of patients will develop recurrent disease in the early years after resection. The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether an additional fluorine-18-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) improves patient selection and therefore adds value to select patients for curative liver resection. METHODS: Data from 203 patients selected for surgical treatment of colorectal liver metastases between 1995 and 2003 were collected in a prospective database. Group A consisted of 100 consecutive patients selected for hepatic surgery by conventional diagnostic imaging (CT chest and abdomen) only. Group B consisted of 103 consecutive patients selected for hepatic surgery by conventional diagnostic methods plus an additional FDG-PET. RESULTS: The number of patients with futile surgery, in which further treatment was considered inappropriate at laparotomy, was 28.0% in group A and 19.4% in group B. The reason for unresectable disease differed between groups. In group A, 10/100 (10.0%) patients showed extrahepatic abdominal disease versus 2/103 patients (1.9%) in group B (P = .017). In all other cases, resection was not performed because liver disease proved too extensive at laparotomy. For patients ultimately undergoing surgical treatment of the metastases, survival was comparable between groups. Overall survival at 3 years was 57.1% in group A versus 60.1% in group B. Disease-free survival at 3 years was 23.0% in group A and 31.4% in group B. CONCLUSIONS: In patients with colorectal liver metastases, FDG-PET may reduce the number of negative laparotomies. However, the effect size on the selection of these patients seems not sufficient enough to affect the overall and disease-free survival after treatment.
