Article: Minimally Invasive Surgery for Gastric Cancer Treatment: Current Status and Future Perspectives
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Minimally invasive surgery, which has been extensively used to treat gastric adenocarcinoma, is now regarded as one of the standard treatments for early gastric cancer, and its suitability for advanced gastric cancer is being investigated. The use of cutting-edge techniques for minimally invasive surgery enables surgeons to deliver various treatment options to minimize a patient's distress and to maintain oncologic safety. Ongoing multicenter prospective studies aim to validate the efficacy of these surgical techniques and to expand the indications of minimally invasive surgery for the treatment of gastric cancer. In this review, we summarize the current status and issues regarding minimally invasive surgery for the treatment of gastric cancer.Gut and Liver 05/2014; 8(3):229-236.This article is viewable in ResearchGate's enriched format - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Robotic systems recently have been introduced to overcome technical limitations of conventional laparoscopic surgery, especially for complex procedures. Laparoscopic spleen-preserving total gastrectomy with D2 lymph node (LN) dissection (LTGD2) is one of the most complicated procedures. We hypothesized that robotic LN dissection would be more thorough and accurate. We compared robotic spleen-preserving total gastrectomy with D2 LN dissection (RTGD2) with LTGD2 to investigate the impact of robotics. Clinicopathologic characteristics and short-term and long-term outcomes of RTGD2 (n = 51) versus LTGD2 (n = 58) in gastric adenocarcinoma patients were extracted from a prospectively designed database and analyzed retrospectively. There was no difference of patients' characteristics between groups. Mean operation time of RTGD2 was longer than LTGD2 (p < 0.001), and no differences in tumor histology, size, location, and TNM stage were seen. Total retrieved LNs from RTGD2 was similar to LTGD2 (mean 47.2 vs. 42.8, respectively), as were retrieved LNs at splenic hilum (1.3 vs. 0.8). However, mean numbers of retrieved LNs along the splenic artery from RTGD2 was higher than LTGD2 (2.3 vs. 1.0, respectively; p = 0.013), as was also the case at the splenic hilum and artery (3.6 vs. 1.9, p = 0.014). Postoperative complication (16 vs. 22 %, p = 0.374) and overall and disease-free survival between the two groups were not significantly different (p = 0.767 and p = 0.666, respectively). Robotic spleen-preserving total gastrectomy with D2 LN dissection is feasible. Operation time and retrieved total LNs and splenic hilar LNs in the robotic procedure are acceptable.Surgical Endoscopy 04/2014; 28(9). · 3.31 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Currently, gastric cancer staging systems do not consider the anatomic extent of metastatic lymph nodes (mLNs) as a prognostic factor. We therefore investigated the prognostic impact of the anatomic extent of mLNs on gastric cancer. The prognoses of 4,043 gastric cancer patients who underwent curative resection were analyzed. Patients with mLNs in lymph node (LN) stations 1-6 (n = 1,980) comprised the perigastric LN-positive (PLN) group, and patients with mLNs in LN stations 7-12 and 14 (n = 2,063) were assigned to the extraperigastric LN-positive (ELN) group. Overall survival was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and hazard ratios (HRs) were calculated by the Cox proportional hazard model. The ELN group exhibited worse survival than the PLN group (p < 0.001), although there were differences in their clinicopathological features. When patients were stratified according to tumor-node-metastasis stage, the ELN groups had unfavorable prognoses compared with the PLN groups (p < 0.05). There were significant differences in long-term survival when the nodal stage of the current staging systems were subdivided according to anatomic nodal extent (p < 0.05), although there was a strong association between the probability of having extraperigastric mLNs and N classification. In multivariate analysis using age, gender, tumor size, tumor location, histology, T classification, and the extent of mLNs as covariates, presence of extraperigastric mLNs was an independent prognostic factor (HR 1.89, 95 % CI 1.73-2.07), along with age, tumor size, tumor location, and T classification. The anatomic extent of mLNs significantly affects patient prognosis. Including the anatomic extent of mLNs in the current staging system may predict gastric cancer prognosis more accurately in patients with the same stage of cancer.Annals of Surgical Oncology 11/2013; · 3.94 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Although surgeons normally use minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for patients with early gastric cancer, in Korea and Japan the procedure is also indicated for serosa-negative tumors. Serosal invasion is regarded to be a potential risk factor for peritoneal dissemination as a result of the effect of pneumoperitoneum and tumor manipulation during the operation. We compared operative outcomes between MIS and conventional open surgery for serosa-involved advanced gastric cancer patients who had a preoperative diagnosis of cancer without serosal invasion. A total of 61 patients (39 patients treated by MIS and 22 by open surgery) treated between 2003 and 2009 who were first diagnosed preoperatively as serosa negative on the basis of computed tomography, endoscopy, and endoscopic ultrasound but then diagnosed as serosa positive upon final pathology were studied. We retrospectively compared recurrence and survival between the two treatment groups. Clinicopathologic characteristics, clinical stage, extent of surgery, and short-term operative outcome did not differ between the groups. 5-year overall survival (73.5 vs. 67.5 %, p = 0.518, respectively) and disease-free survival (67.8 vs. 54.2 %, p = 0.296, respectively) were comparable between the MIS and open surgery groups. There were recurrences in 12 patients in the MIS group and 11 patients in the open surgery group, with a median follow-up period of 64 months. Recurrence patterns did not differ between the groups; moreover, MIS did not increase peritoneal recurrences compared to open surgery (42.0 vs. 54.5 %, p = 0.537, respectively). In multivariate analyses, the type of surgery was not an independent prognostic factor. Similar survival and recurrence patterns were observed in advanced gastric cancer patients preoperatively diagnosed as serosa negative who were treated either by MIS or open surgery. MIS may be safely applied in patients with serosa-positive tumors.Surgical Endoscopy 10/2013; · 3.31 Impact Factor -
Article: Method of Reconstruction Governs Iron Metabolism After Gastrectomy for Patients with Gastric Cancer.
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:: Anemia after gastrectomy is commonly neglected by clinicians despite being an important and frequent long-term metabolic sequela. We hypothesized that the incidence and timing of the occurrence of iron deficiency after gastrectomy is closely associated with the extent of gastrectomy and the reconstruction method, and we investigated the treatment outcomes of iron supplementation to understand iron metabolism and determine the optimal reconstruction method after gastrectomy. PATIENTS AND METHODS:: Using a prospective gastric cancer database, we identified 381 patients with early gastric cancer with complete hematologic parameters who underwent gastrectomy between January 2004 and May 2008. Kaplan-Meier methods, Cox regression, and logistic regression were used to evaluate the associations of the extent of gastrectomy and reconstruction method with iron metabolism. RESULTS:: The prevalence of iron deficiency 3 years after gastrectomy was 69.1%, and iron-deficiency anemia was observed in 31.0% of patients. Iron deficiency developed in 64.8% and 90.5% of patients after distal gastrectomy and total gastrectomy within 3 years after surgery (P < 0.0001), respectively. Iron deficiency was significantly more frequent in women than in men (P < 0.0001) and after gastrojejunostomy than after gastroduodenostomy (P < 0.0001). Serum ferritin levels were different according to the extent of gastrectomy and reconstruction method. The proportion of patients treated for iron-deficiency anemia was also significantly different according to the extent of gastrectomy (P = 0.020). CONCLUSIONS:: Iron deficiency occurs in most patients with gastric cancer after gastrectomy, and its incidence was different according to the extent of gastrectomy and reconstruction method. To improve iron metabolism after distal gastrectomy, gastroduodenostomy would be the method of reconstruction whenever possible.Annals of surgery 01/2013; · 7.19 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Gastric cancer recurrence after curative surgery remains high. Although no preoperative marker of gastric cancer progression after radical gastrectomy exists, recent studies suggest that C-reactive protein (CRP) is associated with cancer progression. Our study evaluated the significance of preoperative high-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) levels as a marker of disease progression after radical gastrectomy. The preoperative hs-CRP levels of 1,221 gastric cancer patients who underwent radical gastrectomies were analyzed for clinicopathologic significance. Patients with previous gastric cancer treatment, another primary cancer, active infection, or postoperative mortality were excluded. hs-CRP levels were significantly associated with increased tumor depth (P = 0.028), nodal status (P = 0.012), and stage (P = 0.045). Seventeen percent of patients had elevated hs-CRP levels at the cutoff value of >3.00 mg/L, whereas 6.6% and 6.1% of patients had CEA and CA-19-9 levels about the cutoffs of ≥5.00 ng/ml and ≥35.0 U/L, respectively. Hs-CRP levels >3.00 mg/L were an independent risk factor for recurrence-free survival along with stage. Elevated preoperative hs-CRP levels in gastric cancer patients are clinically significant indicators of advanced stage and postoperative disease recurrence.Journal of Surgical Oncology 03/2012; 105(4):405-9. · 2.84 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The seventh edition of the tumor, lymph node (LN), metastasis (TNM) staging system increased the required number of examined LNs in gastric cancer from 15 to 16. However, the same staging system defines lymph node-negative gastric cancer regardless of the number of examined LNs. In this study, the authors evaluated whether gastric cancer can be staged properly with fewer than 15 examined LNs. The survival rates of 10,010 patients who underwent curative gastrectomy from 1987 to 2007 were analyzed. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to the number of examined LNs, termed the "insufficient" group (≤15 examined LNs) and the "sufficient" group (≥16 examined LNs). The survival curves of patients from both groups were compared according to the seventh edition of the TNM classification. Three hundred sixteen patients (3.2%) had ≤15 examined LNs for staging after they underwent standard, curative lymphadenectomy. Patients who had T1 tumor classification, N0 lymph node status, and stage I disease with an insufficient number of examined LNs after curative gastrectomy had a significantly worse prognosis than patients who had ≥16 examined LNs. Moreover, having an insufficient number of examined LNs was an independent prognostic factor for patients who had T1, N0, and stage I disease. Lymph node-negative cancers in which ≤15 LNs were examined, classified as N0 in the new TNM staging system, could not adequately predict patient survival after curative gastrectomy, especially in patients with early stage gastric cancer.

ABSTRACT: Regarding the removal of a gastric bezoar, laparoscopic surgery was performed and it was shown that the laparoscopic approach is safe and feasible. However, the laparoscopic method has the risk of intraabdominal contamination, when the gastric bezoar is retrieved from the gastric lumen in the peritoneal cavity. We developed and applied a new procedure for the removal of the gastric bezoar using one surgical glove and two wound retractors as a fashion of intragastric single port surgery. Herein we present this new minimal invasive procedure, so named "hybrid access surgery" which involves the use of existing devices and overcomes the weakness of laparoscopic removal of the gastric bezoar. Our new procedure, combining the concept of intragastric and single port access, is acceptable and feasible to retrieve the gastric bezoar. In the future, this procedure may be one of the alternative procedures for retrieving gastric bezoar even when it is incarcerated in the pylorus.Journal of gastric cancer. 12/2011; 11(4):230-3.This article is viewable in ResearchGate's enriched format - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Although many reports have indicated the feasibility of laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) regarding short-term surgical outcomes, the role of LG remains controversial because studies of long-term outcomes of LG are insufficient. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the long-term oncologic outcomes of patients who have undergone LG. Between May 2003 and December 2009, 714 consecutive patients underwent LG for gastric cancer. After excluding operative mortality (n = 4) and a case of Krukenberg tumor that was not identified at the time of surgery (n = 1), a total of 709 patients were analyzed for long-term oncologic outcomes. Gastric cancer cases were analyzed according to the American Joint Committee on Cancer classification (seventh edition). Overall survival and relapse-free survival were estimated by using the Kaplan-Meier method. Median follow-up was 46.2 months. Postoperative recurrence was observed in 26 patients (3.7%). The instances of recurrence were as follows: seven peritoneal, six locoregional, five hematogenous, four distant lymph nodes, and four mixed recurrence. There were neither port-site nor wound site metastases. The 5-year relapse-free survival rates were: 95.8% in stage I, 83.4% in stage II, and 46.4% in stage III. Five-year overall survival rates were: 96.4% in stage I, 83.1% in stage II, and 50.2% in stage III. The independent risk factors for recurrence were T stage and N stage. For survival, age, T stage, and N stage were statistically independent prognostic factors Our single-center study of a large patient series revealed that LG for gastric cancer had acceptable long-term oncologic outcomes comparable to those of conventional open surgery.Surgical Endoscopy 07/2011; 26(1):130-6. · 3.31 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Prolonged liver retraction during radical gastrectomy for adequate exposure of the hepatogastric ligament may lead to hepatic trauma. The authors offer a new minimally traumatic liver retraction method using a simple liver suspension with a gauze suture and compare it with the modified liver-puncture method. This study retrospectively evaluated 92 patients who underwent the liver-suspension or liver-puncture method during gastric resections in 2010. Their clinical and operative characteristics were analyzed together with perioperative transaminases, and the two groups were compared. Patients with a history of liver disease, abnormal preoperative liver function test results, postoperative complications, or combined operations were excluded from the study. The liver-suspension method was performed using two 4 × 4-in. gauze pads threaded with a 2-0 Prolene suture, which were secured to the pars condensa with surgical clips and externally tied to suspend the liver toward the abdominal wall. Each liver retraction was completed without intraoperative complications. The patients in the liver-suspension group had more nonhepatic comorbidities than those in the liver-puncture group (P = 0.029). Other patient characteristics such as age, gender, and body mass index (BMI) did not differ between the two groups. No differences were found between the groups in terms of mean operative time (200.3 ± 66.9 vs 214.9 ± 74.4) or preoperative mean alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels. However, the patients in the liver-suspension group had significantly lower postoperative mean ALT levels (postoperative days 0, 1, 2, 3, and 5) and mean AST levels (postoperative days 0 and 1). Compared with the liver-puncture method, the authors' novel liver-suspension with suture-gauze technique is a safe and effective method for retracting the liver during laparoscopic and robotic upper abdominal surgeries.Surgical Endoscopy 06/2011; 25(12):3939-45. · 3.31 Impact Factor

SimoneFox.com certainly turns us on with her enormous tits. What doesn't turn us on about her site is the lack of updates, very weak quality videos, lack of playback options and mediaocre bonus sites. I really think you should pass on this site because it wasn't a very fulfilling porn experience. With no updates since 2009, it's very unlikely you'll like how the membership pass presents itself if you were to join it today. Visit Simone Fox

Ever since the announcement and my preordering of the Canon C100, I have been looking forward to this trip. It was the first time in years that my Canon DSRL was used for stills as opposed to video. Most of my immediate family took part on this Holiday trip to the beautiful island of Kauai. I also managed to secure a GoPro Hero 3 Black edition which I fully intended to use for water activities and slow motion effects. The first couple of minutes is footage shot with the GoPro and the remaining images were shot using the Canon C100.

What's the relationship between search and brand reputation?
What's the relationship between search and brand reputation?
In the age of consumer control and CGM (define), you'd better know the answer to that question before writing your next memo to senior management on the latest cool new thing in the digital space. Trust me, the reputation question is far more important.
Indeed, search and brand reputation share an inseparable, symbiotic relationship, and CGM is the dominant, if not final, arbiter of that marriage. That puts the exercise of managing brand equity on the thin, precarious line between control and capitulation.
I recently started a strategic consulting unit within my company and now commence virtually every major client engagement with the online equivalent of a category management exercise. A core assumption here is the awareness, consideration, trial, and purchase cycle of new products and services consistently starts with what consumers see on the shelf, whether on Google, MSN, Yahoo, or Wikipedia.
Nothing fancy or sexy here, this is all about the fundamentals. At Procter & Gamble, they call this the first moment of truth. I'm convinced that same mindset must pervade how we think about brand assortment and presence online.
By "assortment," I mean search results' composition, tone, and texture. I mean search or shelf results that affirm rather than distract and interfere. I mean reflecting as hard on whether consumers engage or precipitate a click-through as on whether they run for the hills after staring at the shelf.
Most important, I pay incredibly close attention to the placement and density of CGM on the shelf. If a hostile YouTube video rises to the top of a search on a brand- and category-specific query, I factor in certain assumptions draw from my TV-copy training about the persuasiveness and viral nature of sight, sound, and motion. I even overlay assumptions about the net impact if the consumer only sees the video headline (e.g., "Watch X Product Break in Five Seconds") but doesn't click or engage. Fragments, half-views, and bits all matter.
Then there's a deeper level of shelf analysis. If Wikipedia owns the first result when I type "sprint," "verizon," or even "tide" into Google, I devour the structure of Wikipedia's shelf, looking for reputation residue that indicts or anoints the brand. Remember, Wikipedia entries are masterfully constructed by a collective of search-obsessed passionistas who hyperlink to relevant content with the intensity of A-list bloggers.
You Are What You Search
In both pleasant and unsettling ways, companies are quickly learning their brand equity and credibility is the sum total, and composition of their search results. They're also beginning to internalize (usually the hard way) that CGM is now the fastest-growing source of indexed content in search results.
Consumer content powers today's Web. At the end of the day, that content -- particularly that which ignites conversation, memes, or link love -- is resurrecting itself smack in the middle of the consumer's purchase or consideration cycle.
That means, in essence, we're all hostage to the conversation. Good, engaging conversation gets lots of link love, and most major search engines open their page-one, A-list invite to the link-love magnets.
The only real hedge against crowd wisdom is that which we're willing to buy in the paid-shelf periphery. But in that situation, as they say, you gotta pay to play.
Reputation and the First Moment of Truth
Organic search has a different type of investment strategy, usually bordering on long term and often operational. Sustainable shelf optimization requires going back to the root cause of what influences CGM and figuring out how to set the conversation in the right direction. The solution here may have less to do with paid media than with such foundations as customer service, employee training, product quality, Web infrastructure, and corporate mission and philosophy (e.g., social responsibility, commitment to sustainability).
If brands think they can drive favorable shelf presence with gimmickry, manipulation, or next-day PageRank, they'd better think twice. And the corporate or brand blog, while promising in setting a better context for dialogue, will only go so far if there's isn't a compelling, credible message, one bloggers can't pick apart by juxtaposing (via hyperlinks) disconnects between what the brand says and what consumers actually experience:
Shelf Impact on Brand Reputation | ||||||
Example | Role of CGM | Reputation/Shelf Impact | ||||
Product rant | Link love, echo | Cannibalizes brand's shelf; more eyeballs exposed to negative | ||||
Site video | Link love (well timed) | Dominant shelf position; free, positive advertising impact | ||||
Diaper complaint | Affirmation, echo, link love | Highly targeted in long-tail queries, dialing up impact | ||||
Wikipedia definition | Link love, reference | #1 or #2 placement on search results; dominant voice in reputation |
A favorable shelf takes time. It requires meaningful conversation and a new attitude beyond traditional media models to nurture the right shelf.
Remember, your brand standing is your shelf landing.

Maid sentenced in residential jewelry thefts

Prosecution and conviction of theft by cleaning ladies is rare. In 2005 we were ripped off by an assistant to a long time cleaner. The sheriff's office was very prompt in taking a report, supplemented with photo images of most of the missing items. Despite being given a name of a possible suspect, we never got a response from the sheriff's office, despite repeated inquiries.
Property crime has usually been a very low priority item... unless one has influence?

A hefty fine for what sounds like costume jewelry in the evaluations.
I am sure Ms. Garcia's nationality had nothing to do with making an example out of her.
She got a bum rap and probably had inadequate legal representation.
This is not a good idea to make a woman of Mexican heritage, at this time, have to be made an example. Relations with the government are at an all time low and there will be a lot of residents of American nationality who live on prime beach property have something to think about. The richest billionaire in the world is in Mexico and he also is known not to take kindly to the treatment of legals and illegals who are still being employed by the rich for low wages.

Maybe, but you'd probably have to hop a plane to Jeddah to compete with the hospitality at this Saudi restaurant/grocery located on the northeast corner of University Drive and Sunrise Boulevard.
The hostess, who doubled as a waitress on a recent visit, saw us enter the front door rather timidly and almost ran across the room from the table she'd been bussing to welcome us -- even though we were obviously newcomers. Other diners, many of them Middle Easterners or American Muslims dressed in their finest, smiled and nodded their greetings. Even the young man hard at work playing Arabic dinner music on a keyboard/synthesizer gave us a wave.
1816 N. University Drive
Islamorada, FL 33036
Category: Restaurant > Middle Eastern
Region: Florida Keys
This hospitality is undoubtedly tested repeatedly by first-timers who have struggled to find this thin slice of storefront. After wending through the crowded plaza, dodging cars and searching for some signal that you're getting warm, you'll finally come upon the restaurant's sign in the same spirit that the desert-weary Peter O'Toole caught sight of Omar Sharif in Lawrence of Arabia.
But in a much worse mood. Of course, culturally, you couldn't be in better hands for raising your spirits. "So Proud to Serve You" is al-Salam's motto and the core principle of Arabic hospitality. This attitude toward service is as intertwined with the culture's feeling about food as malapropisms seemed to be with the speeches of pre-Election Day Teresa Heinz Kerry.
For Arabs, mealtime courtesy is a direct measure of a person's worth. This kind of gentility spills over into the cooking and recipes. As exotic as it sounds, Saudi cuisine is a rather simple affair, reflecting three major influences: the nomadic culinary needs of the Bedouin (no refrigeration, for example), the ancient Arabian dominance of the spice routes, and the food restrictions stipulated in the Koran.
The historic Arabic acquaintance with spices brings an unexpected and aromatic character to the recipes. And the technology and Koran are important because they decree freshness and simplicity.
Al-Salam describes its food as "Mediterranean," but its recipes and inspiration are more diverse. In the U.S., "Mediterranean" food usually means Turkish or, more exactly, Lebanese cuisine. Here, you'll find a Greek salad and the falafels and baba ghannouj and taboulehs you already know. But you'll also discover much that is new and exciting. There's shakshoka, eggs cooked with tomato, onions, and spices such as cumin. And shawarma and kefta and kibi -- and many other outside-of-Damascus staples you'd find in Saudi or even Iraqi restaurants. You won't get a lot of ghee (clarified butter) or whole stuffed camel or goat, as you might at a Saudi wedding, but you probably aren't too disappointed about that, are you?
Indeed, the entire dining experience at al-Salam has a rare degree of authenticity. As you're seated and handed the menu, you'll see on your table the typical, free, premeal "starters" of dates, sliced pickled turnip, and green olives waiting for you in small dishes. Just sour enough for you to want more, the pickled turnips are a revelation.
As is the menu. I can't think of another restaurant in South Florida where you can find labaneh, a homestyle yogurt spread that is as popular and as widely used in Mideast culture as sour cream is in ours. Or a menu that has the same kallayeh (bits of meat with tomatoes, onions, and hot peppers) you might encounter on a dinner menu in Khamis Mushayt.
Among the 14 appetizers (up to $7.49 for four varieties of hummus), kibi ($3) makes a nice introduction to the virtues of this authentic Middle Eastern food. These particular kibi come as a pair of crispy shells of cracked wheat stuffed with pine nuts, beef, onions, and spices including cumin and then deep fried. Order a plate of the koddsieh ($4.49) to go with the kibi. Koddsieh is a rougher version of hummus, a blend of fava beans with tahini sauce, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil. A basket of pita bread comes with this dish. The freshness of all the ingredients -- and the smart approach to healthful eating in the recipes -- made these dishes a satisfying way to begin a meal.
(Speaking of healthful eating, a side note: Keep track of the fat and carb calories and you'll see they're minimal. Watch more closely and you'll see that it's difficult to find a better balance among food groups, which is why you didn't see many fat Middle Easterners before the arrival of BK and Micky D's. After the arrival of the Americans in the '70s, however, fast food became popular. Overweight youth are now almost as common on the streets of Riyadh as here. Further note: I know this because I lived there for two years.)
Variety is not the spice of life in the entrées -- spices and herbs are. Thanks to a liberal and effective use of both, Middle Easterners can do more with a cucumber than most cuisines can with an entire salad. The same rule applies to all the basics of this kind of food. Coriander, cumin, dried mint, nutmeg, allspice, sesame and pomegranate seeds, cardamom -- a catch-all of exotic tastes embroider the basic bulgar wheat, vegetables, dried fruit, meat, and rice staples of this diet and can make such mild-mannered underachievers as chicken breast and lamb chops quiver with strange, exciting flavors.

Compress PST
Compresses multiple PST files quickly!
This software clears the space that has been already allocated to a file, but is empty, i.e, it compresses and applies compaction onto the user's PST file to reduce its size. It runs to reduce the PST file, especially when the size has increased effectively and needs to be taken care of. Because sometimes due to oversized PST, Outlook starts working slower. So to avoid such problems its better to reduce the size of your PST file.
- Compress size of PST by performing compaction and extracting the attachments.
- Extracted attachments can be compressed further and saved without any data loss.
- Batch conversion is possible.
- A separate folder is created for the multiple extracted attachments of each PST file.
- The user friendly interface has been designed as per the convenience of the users
- A CSV report is generated at the end of the compression process.
- Supports all the versions of MS Outlook (including 2003, 2007, 2010 & 2013).
Key Features of PST Compress Tool
Remove Attachments
By using this option, attachments from single/multiple PST files will be removed. If you are aware that attachments in your mails and other folders are not important, then to delete the attachment from every single mail will be a tedious task. So to detach attachments in a single click from emails, this option should be used. But keep in mind that those attachments are permanently deleted. Deleting unwanted attachments of emails effectively reduce the PST file size and protects your file from corruption.
Extract Attachments
If the attachments you think are important and can be used in the future, then in that case you can easily save those attachments in a separate folder even after extracting them from Outlook data file. It will extract all the attachments to reduce the size of PST file and create a lot of blank space in it, so the file could contain the new data. If you sneed to extract and save your attachments simultaneously, then choose the option "extract and save attachments".
Compress Attachments
This is an additional option which will zip the entire attachment by its zip feature and which is embedded in this software. So if a user wants to compress his/her attachment file, then in that case this proves to be helpful. At time of transferring files, zip files can be easily transferred because of their compressed nature and smaller data move quickly over the network in comparison of massive data. Compressing is generally required for large files or when you are performing batch conversion.
Keeps Meta Data Intact
Meta data of email including sent to, received from, cc, Bcc, etc. can be kept secured and original using this tool without any data loss. The structure of the metadata remains the same as it was present in the main PST file. The software is built using advanced algorithms, and hence it avoids redundancy. Means, no duplication issue will be encountered by you as it restricts the duplication of data without any loss of data. And as it is based on advanced algorithms, so user can see everything live.
Batch Compression
It can compress multiple PST files at a time and also by selecting a folder that contains multiple PST files in it. Batch conversion of files is completely based on a user's choice whether to select a single file at a time or several Outlook PST files. Use "Add Files" button to insert single or multiple PST files simultaneously or click on "Add Folder" option to directly browse a folder containing multiple PST files in it.
User Friendly Interface
It provides a user friendly interface and it is also more sophisticated to install and implement this software. It is not mandatory that a user should have any profound awareness to deal with the software. It can be easily implemented without any special guidance by non technical users belonging to any field. If you have compressed a large data using compression, Outlook will perform better & faster.
Supported Versions
It supports all the versions of Microsoft Outlook like 2013,2010,2007, 2002. Outlook Attachment Extractor compatible with Windows operating (including win8, win7, vista, win2002, etc.). It can compress the PST files which are running on any of the above mentioned versions of Outlook. So user need to worry if they are working either with older or latest version of Outlook as it is compatible with all.
CSV Report Generation
Software does not mix up the attachment of one file with another and reduces the chances of problems which can occur in the future regarding data mixup. And for more convenience, it generates a CSV report of the entire process and provides a report related to final results.Complete information about each data file that has been compressed and also acknowledge users about current size of file after performing compression is provided.
Compress PST Screenshots
Our Client Say's
As I use Outlook very much, the size of my Outlook file has increased. And now it is becoming difficult to manage it. I have also adopted the method provided by Microsoft to compact the size, but it didn't work for me. So I asked my colleagues to suggest me some better solution to reduce file size. And they suggested for SysTools compress PST software. I downloaded it and it worked very well, according to my requirement.
Scarlett Rosenblatt from California
110 main st po box 1022 seattle wa 98104 USA
The oversized Outlook PST file sometimes creates a hell lot of problems such as it reduces the speed of the Outlook, creates difficulty in managing the whole large PST file. So I found the need to compress and make my file compact. There I searched for some tools on google and come across with the tool Compress PST. It provides many features and is able to compress PST file efficiently and effectively with very less effort.

I have no AutoGyro experience and I have made one from the QEFI plan but had trouble launching, it just dives staright into the deck, snapping the nose off (now fixed). I want to try again, whats the best way to launch. I realise it needs to beinto wind, had a friend do a little run with it and blades spun up quite nicely. What i have noted is that the model needs to be held at a fairly steep angle to get the blades spinning, bit likle the 2nd video at the start of this thread. Friend then sort of leveled the fuselage before releasing but the blades slowed dramtically, hence the crash.
Could this be a problem with the angle of the rotor assembly, pretty sure (blades have enough negative pitch on them)? Is this just normal behaviour of an AG and I need to release at the steep angle required to spin the blades up? Do i need full power and a bag of up elevator or anything like that? thanks, Scott. |
Dec 03, 2007, 02:03 PM | |
Hi Scott,
Sorry to hear that you are having problems. I've found that the best way to launch is to tilt the autogyro well back, nose into wind, and wait until the rotor is spinning well. If there is little or no wind, you will need to jog or run to get the rotor spinning. As for power setting, it's best to have more rather than less throttle, and then launch with the nose high, as per the movie. You should be able to "feel" the rotor generating lift before you launch. I assume that you have checked the C of G and all of the angles are as per the plan, and that the weight is within the range. Hope this helps, please let us know of your progress. Al |

Zion Oil & Gas Extends Subscription Period For Rights Offering
DALLAS and CAESAREA, Israel, Nov. 16, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zion Oil & Gas, Inc. (Nasdaq:ZN) announced today that it has extended the expiration date for its pending rights offering to November 18, 2010.
The preliminary outcome of Zion's rights offering, as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard time on November 15, 2010, the scheduled expiration date of the rights offering, is that Zion stockholders have subscribed to purchase approximately 3,192,000 Units of Zion's securities for an aggregate subscription price of approximately $15,960,000. Approximately 3,800,000 Units are available under the offering.
As the rights offering was not fully subscribed and the Company was advised that some qualified holders of its common stock wished to make a further subscription, the Company has decided to extend the duration of the offering by 3 days. The rights may now be exercised at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard time on November 18, 2010, the new scheduled expiration of the offer.
Zion's Chief Executive Officer, Richard Rinberg, said today, "I am very pleased at the participation in this rights offering. By extending the offering, we are giving Zion's stockholders a further opportunity to subscribe in our rights offering and support our oil and gas exploration work in Israel. The drilling of our current exploration well, the Ma'anit-Joseph # 3 well, has reached a depth of approximately 8,704 feet (2,653 meters) towards the secondary target, Triassic age lithology, expected below approximately 10,827 feet (3,300 meters). We then plan to continue drilling to the primary target, Permian age lithology, down to a planned total depth below approximately 19,357 feet (5,900 meters). We remain excited about the possibility of recovering hydrocarbons on our license and permit areas, onshore Israel, especially due to the U.S. Geological Survey report, published in April 2010, containing their assessment that there may be 1.7 billion barrels of recoverable oil and 122 trillion cubic feet of recoverable gas in the Levant Basin, as all of Zion's exploration rights fall within the area of the Levant Basin."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

I just bought and tasted my first bottle of Grolsch. Taste is ok, kinda Heineken and then some, but what an amazing bottle. Wow, if they came in amber they would be the homebrewer's dream. Since I'm still so new to brewing that I don't have anything yet of my own on tap, I think I'll focus my drinkin these until I make a batch-sized set of empty Grolsch bottles. They are 16 oz bottles BTW.
They ain't cheep from this supplier but here you go:http://www.williamsbrewing.com/500_M...12_P419C49.cfmhttp://www.williamsbrewing.com/1_LIT..._6_P417C49.cfm It might be better to buy the Grolsch, enjoy the beer, and not worry about the green bottles. Much more cost effective. (and enjoyable )
Cheers, Rich
Yeah, or if you're lucky enough to have access to Fischer's then you can have flip tops and brown bottles.

My sister has a shop selling reclaimed pine furniture and a lot of her supplies come from the Dutch.They arrive in the UK with a lorry load of pine furniture. They also bring a good supply of Grolsch.It costs us £17.50 for a crate of 16 bottles(supplies are very limited though as it sells quickly )
I got a bunch of these to give my beer away to friends. Makes for good presentation. The good thing is that they always offer to return the bottles without me having to ask...I would ask. They go for $2 a bottle at "The Good Brewer" in Livermore, Ca. Hope this pic works... At the moment this one is filled with an American Wheat. Quite tasty...
Buying empty bottles goes profoundly against the grain for me. They are so typically expensive that even if what they are filled with is only marginal, I have to buy them full. I wonder what per cent of Grolsch's business is home brewers who can bear the thought paying for empties?
If you're lucky and live in a state where they still have a return deposit, you can usually buy used empties (granted sometimes you have to scrub the fuzzies out of the bottom) for at most $0.10 per bottle. Thats not too bad, possibly the one saving grace of Michigan, even though if you have to brew outstide it might be in the bitter cold!
I've done that - my local distributor sells 'em to me for a buck and a half for a case of 16s. But I've decided I don't like to go this way except to have bottles to give away. The bottles have had such hard use that they have a permanent frost on the outside. I don't like the aesthetics of this - they look like they are not really clean.
There is a French beer starting to make it's way to North American shelves that come in 650ml Brown swing tops. I can't remember the name. Just saw it on the shelf in Vancouver a few days a go.

I live in San Francisco, but my soul is usually hovering somewhere above the high deserts of New Mexico. Music is my first language, but I speak a smattering of Spanish and am fairly fluent in operatic Italian and German. I am dangerously over-educated with a B.A. in Music from Rice University, an M.Div. from San Francisco Theological Seminary, and a D.Min. from Drew University. My partner Colleen and I have been together for over 12 years and love to travel - especially to places where great music is to be found. We have rented apartments in Rome and Paris and spent a magical week on an olive farm in Fiesole. We regularly go to Santa Fe for the opera and chamber music festival and to Sea Ranch to practice the restorative pursuits of cooking, reading, hiking, and napping. When I was in high school, I was given a letter opener with this phrase from the prayer of St. Francis and I think it fits me: "Where there is sadness, let me sow joy".

Excellent stay! The place is exactly as described in the ad and Melinda and Colleen are excellent hosts. They keep the apartment in very good order and are always available to give some friendly local advice. I highly recommend staying here!
This apartment was wonderful. Melinda was a gracious host and everything was ready for us when arrived. It was a very cute place with a stocked kitchen in a location that was very convenient for us.
Our 3 day stay at the art haven was a fantastic experience. Melinda went out of her way to accommodate a late arrival due to flight delays, and was an excellent and gracious host throughout. The location is fantastic, right at the top of Market (Twin Peaks). We walked to the Castro for breakfast, and caught Muni to get to the financial district. Melinda has placed a comprehensive book of recommendations (dining, etc.) in the apartment, and they were all spot-on. The place is HUGE by SF standards, and very clean and well appointed. It was a very comfortable stay. We didn't make use of the full kitchen or laundry facilities, but for a longer stay they would be great.
We really enjoyed our stay at the Art Haven. Clean, quiet and well appointed, it's within easy walking distance of the Haight, the Castro and Golden Gate Park. And, day or night, the view of the city from Melinda's deck is stunning!
Nous avons passé un séjour très agréable dans l'appartement de Melinda et Colleen. L'appartement est spacieux et accueillant. Melinda rempli parfaitement son rôle d'hôte en répondant à nos demandes. Merci pour tout, Erica et Florian
We stayed at Melinda's apartment for 4 days in November. We really enjoined ArtHaven : excellent location, free parking, high-speed wifi. The apartment is very clean and comfortable. Melinda is very friendly and nice host, assisting us with any questions that we had re our first visit in San-Francisco. This is the best choice in terms of price/quality
The apartment is even bigger than in the pictures. It looks great, has a lot of space and is very comfortable. The apartment was very clean. Melinda was very helpful and left us maps and a lot of information about the city. The apartment is 10 minutes walk down hill to Casrto. There is a muni (bus) stop only a few minutes away.
We recently spent a 3 day weekend in Melinda and Colleen's apt. The entrance to the apartment was rather alarming as it was off a storage/laundry area, so we were prepared for the worst... but the space itself is very roomy and certainly comfortable enough. The kitchen was well equipped and we enjoyed being able to prepare our own food at home. There were also picnic supplies which was great. The file with local information was very useful too, and Melinda was really friendly and gave us some good tips. One of our main criteria in finding a place to stay was being able to park our car and use public transport to get around, so free parking was great, and bus stops were very close by. However, public transport over weekends does not run as frequently as it does on weekdays, and on the Saturday we waited an hour for a bus to arrive, and our return journey later that night the wait was 89 minutes! Just something others should be aware of. Apart from that the location was good. Apartment has very little natural light coming in which bothered us, but really we didn't spend enough time there to let it get us down. Hard to remedy with buildings being so close together, but felt more like a basement than a Penthouse. We were happy to support all the efforts being made to "go Green" and recycle, not that common with renters! Certainly no strong smelling chemicals around.
It is an unusual space, but all of these things are on the description so I am surprised that you were surprised. It is part of a penthouse - too bad you didn't take advantage of the deck with views. Yep, every San Franciscan will tell you that MUNI is harder on the weekends. It does help to download a tracking app. Hope you had an easy trip home.
Melinda was a wonderful host; she emailed lots of information after our reservation was confirmed. She greeted us on arrival, helped with our luggage & provided us with a mini tour of the place. The parking was not a problem during the period we stayed however if you can't find a spot Melinda does let you park in front of her garage. The apartment looked dated & had a lived in smell. Not a bad smell but it was not a clean fresh smell either. We encountered a few bugs (spiders, moths, a black slithering small insect, & a few creepies in the kitchen). Melinda provided extra towels for the kids & extra sheets & pillows for the newly purchased futon where my husband slept. The bathroom was relatively clean except for some mould around the edges of the bath tub/shower. The fridge was clean & empty. The washing machine had some mould around the rubber rim. We know accomodation is expensive in San Francisco so the cons above are probably all relative to the price, I'm not sure. My comments are in comparison to an Air BnB place we stayed at in LA prior to San Francisco where the only con was the parking. The stairs lead to Melinda's place & we were a little concerned about our privacy however she never used it while we were there & so was not an issue for us. The location was great. When we checked out, the house manual said that they would appreciate it if we could strip the bed & put the used linen in the hamper, not sure if this is the norm but we did as requested.
Hi Celeste - It is an old building that we wish we could renovate and if we owned it we would. We don't use strong-smelling toxic chemicals to clean, so I'm guessing you were missing that smell and because of the rare heat wave during your stay, there were lots of benign bugs and spiders. Again, we do not use toxic chemicals including bug sprays and we think that is an advantage! When you look for a place on Airbnb, you should probably avoid folks who are eco-conscious. I could tell by the sorts of soaps and shampoos you used that natural, scent-free products are not important to you. Cheers! Melinda
My boyfriend and I stayed in ArtHaven for the whole month of September. The apartment was fantastic: exactly as described on AirBNB. The space was large, with a full sized bedroom, living room, and kitchen... much larger than other rental options in San Francisco. The location was incredibly convenient, just a short walk down the hill to the Castro, grocery stores, shopping, and many tasty restaurants. Beautiful views of the city from the street. The price was high, but not overpriced for the crazy SF market. The apartment was a bit dark, facing the rear of the building and a side alley, but this also made it very quiet and peaceful. The inside was very well-appointed... and did I mention it is huge and in a great location. Melinda and Colleen lent us spices and cooking implements on several occasions and were fine hosts. I would definitely recommend this place to friends and international visitors.
Melinda and her partner were great guests: friendly, considerate and left the apartment in excellent, clean condition. Would welcome them back, anytime.
Melinda and Colleen were the perfect guests. Great communication, warm, friendly and clean. They left my apartment as they found it and went above and beyond what was asked of them. They are model Airbnb guests! Thanks again!
Melinda and I perform together in an improvisational troupe. She is warm, funny, and an amazing storyteller and singer. If you get the pleasure of meeting her, you will definitely be entertained, and most certainly will feel loved and appreciated.
I met Melinda many years ago when we were both doing Interplay. She is an amazingly brilliant, talented, loving and connected person. I will never forget her sense of humor, her graciousness with all different kinds of people and her uncanny ability to make up songs totally in the moment that profoundly touched people. She would be an absolutely fabulous guest. In fact, why don't you come on down and visit me in Nashville, girlfriend!! : ). Invite her into your world, you will NEVER forget her!
I've known Melinda for most of my life, since 8th or 9th grade. We attended the same college, lived as roommates at one point, and both ended up in Los Angeles after college for a time. She is a remarkable person, very centered and spiritual. Lest I make her sound like a saint, she is also a lot of fun with a great sense of humor. As far as letting her stay in your space, you couldn't ask for better. She is extremely responsible and thoughtful, and would be an ideal guest in any situation.

Welcome by Dan Driscoll, Head of School
Dear friend,
We are humbled by the remarkable school you are about to encounter. Our focus is a Montessori focus: joyful learning, spirited interaction, compassionate care for the environment, seeking to create a world at peace. Here at Good Shepherd we combine solid academics that have no limit with a faith-based foundation; we are an independent school, but we are centered on the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, a Catholic and Montessori faith formation process. This allows our children to ask the biggest questions and explore the universe in all its complexity, including its natural, scientific, moral, and religious complexity. We are South Bend's only faith-based Montessori elementary school, and the only school in the Michiana region that engages a weekly farm component to bring botany, zoology, and environmental studies to the child in a very real, hands-on manner.
We look forward to sharing more about Good Shepherd.
Sincerely yours,
Daniel W. Driscoll, Head of School
Peace is promoted at GSMS by:
- Teaching strategies for conflict resolution
- Establishing a safe climate and community where acts of bullying are not tolerated
- Being respectful to one another, individual beliefs, and different backgrounds
- Exposing children to the world's geographies and cultures
Gaining a fuller understanding of the role we play in the global community, a care for all living things, and how to preserve our planet and nature
