Future of Nursing Initiative
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 8 (HealthDay News) -- The percentage of non-injury visits to the emergency department for stomach pain has increased, while the percentage of chest pain-related visits has decreased, and use of advanced imaging for both has increased substantially, according to a September data brief released by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS).
Farida A. Bhuiya, of the NCHS in Hyattsville, Md., and colleagues analyzed data from the 1999 to 2008 National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey to track trends in emergency department visits for chest and abdominal pain, degree of illness, and use of imaging over that time period.
The researchers found that the total number of non-injury visits by adults with chest or abdominal pain increased from 1999 to 2008, but that the proportion of these with a serious diagnosis did not. Emergency department visits for chest pain resulting in a diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome fell by 44.9 percent. Non-injury-related visits prompted by abdominal pain increased 31.8 percent, while those prompted by chest pain decreased 10 percent. Imaging use increased 122.6 percent for abdominal pain-prompted visits, and 367.6 percent for chest pain-prompted visits.
"Targeted research is needed to clarify the extent to which medical imaging for emergency department visits for chest or abdominal pain is improving the diagnosis and treatment of serious conditions," the authors write.

Find Puppies from Pharaoh Hound dog breeders based on your lifestyle and desired breed. Find Pharaoh Hound puppies for sale today!
Breed Group: Hound
Weight: 45-55 lbs
Height: Male: 23-25; Female: 21-24 inches
Color(s): tan or chestnut, with a white tail-tip desired
The Pharaoh Hound is naturally intelligent, well behaved, and very pleasant. Blushing is an endearing quality of this breed. Blushing when excited will steal your heart. Not recommended for a home with non-canine pets as this breed likes to chase things and is a hunter.
Cheerful, quiet, and independent, this breed is wonderful with children making him a good household pet for any child to grow up with. Can be wary of strangers, but will warm up quickly. The Pharaoh Hound is prone to timidity and should be well socialized as an early stage of life.
Doing well in running and obedience sports, the Pharaoh Hound should always be a companion animal. Not good for kennel life, this dog loves to be near his owner. This dog can be active yet calm and collected at times making this dog perfect for a household with children, although they should be properly trained with this breed.
Rubber brushing for the Pharaoh Hound is fine for removing loose and dead hair. An average shedding breed, this dog does not need regular bathing, only when necessary. A very clean and well kempt dog, grooming is not a big concern.
This beautiful and athletic breed has a short coat that doesn't need much grooming. The coat is short and glossy lying close to the body of the dog. The Pharaoh Hound is weather resistant to a degree.
Training should always be consistent and gentle as this breed can be very sensitive to a harsh voice. Prone to timidity, the trainer must be well experienced with this breed so they're not to frighten him. The Pharaoh Hound is rather intelligent and can do well in obedience.
The Pharaoh Hound if left outdoors for a long period should be protected from the cold. Does best in warmer climates, but if protected will also do well in cooler weather. A strong instinct to hunt, this breed must have a tall fence as they can easily climb or jump to find wild game.
Help reduce the number of dogs in shelters by doing your due diligence. Many puppies are often purchased with little or no knowledge of what goes into parenting one. Uneducated decisions often leave the puppy in need of adoption and in the care of rescue groups. Bringing home a puppy into your family has many benefits but we first implore you to educate yourself. An informed decision will take into account the characteristics of the breed, your lifestyle, expected veterinary care, the demands and limitations of owning one, their activity requirements and levels of companionship required.
Note: We provide the only safe marketplace for Pharaoh Hound breeders to list and rehome their purebred dogs. Breeders listing puppies on Next Day Pets are required to verify their identity for your protection.

Wasted time: Is Washington ready to work?
Immediately after President Obama won reelection the focus in Washington, D.C., turned to avoiding the fiscal cliff. It was a reminder of just how little has been accomplished in the nation's capital in the last four years.
The "fiscal cliff" refers to the $500 billion in tax hikes and spending cuts ($400 billion in tax hikes, only $100 billion in spending cuts) set to take effect at the end of this year if the President and Congress cannot agree to another arrangement in time. Economists of all political leanings agree that the failure to reach a deal will plunge the economy into another recession.
The inability of Washington to reach a deal to lower the debt and bring the budget closer to balance was a huge failure of the last four years. It was not the only one. We are no closer to fixing Medicare, Medicaid or Social Security than we were when President Obama took office. We are more than $5 trillion deeper in debt. The unemployment rate was 7.8 percent in January of 2009, when Obama was sworn in as President. It is 7.9 percent now. The tax code remains a tangle of growth-choking complexity, institutions that are "too big to fail" still pose huge risks to our national economy, and health insurance prices continue their upward march.
The longer the agonizingly slow pace of this recovery persists, the clearer it becomes how much time both sides squandered. The American people voted on Tuesday to give Washington a little more time. But there is not much left. If they don't use it wisely, we are all going to pay a heavy price.

New "Addressless" Search Feature On Google Maps
As the Google LatLong Blog explains, Google has added a nice feature to Maps (it would seem something rolls out weekly these days). That feature allows users to get directions or locations of businesses without inputting a destination address. Below are some examples.
From Google's headquarters, how to get to . . .
"Best Indian food":
"Dry cleaners":
Of course, these results are only as good as the underlying data, but the functionality is very useful. Google apparently sees it primarily as a short cut to directions to a specific destination. However, it's also a convenient category search tool supplementing Maps' "search nearby" feature.

Slow traction for Enertia
|| Print |
|High Five
|Thursday, April 15, 2010
Brammo hoped to have its Enertia electric motorcycle in 50 Best Buy stores nationwide by now, but the road to a major rollout has been a slow one.
After launching a "pilot production" for the Enertia last year and slashing its retail price from $11,995 to $7,995, the bike is currently being stocked in just six Best Buy stores.

Version 8 and above required to view videos
Uploaded by AirMaria on Jan 10, 2012
Ave Maria! It took me a long time to get back to finishing this clip, but now it's finished. I was able to get a lot done while waiting at the airport. Mount Lafayette is a 5,249-foot (1,600 m) mountain at the northern end of the Franconia Range in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. It is one of the most popular day-hike destinations in the White Mountain National Forest due to spectacular views at its summit and its location beside Interstate 93. The upper portion of the mountain is located in the alpine zone, an area where only small vegetation exists due to the harsh climate. -Wikipedia Ave Maria!

Nanofiber seeding
Nanofiber Seeding is the process to control the bulk morphology of chemically synthesized electronically conducting organic polymers.
A new synthetic approach, called nanofiber seeding,[1] was developed to control the bulk morphology of chemically synthesized electronic organic polymers. Bulk quantities of nanofibers of conducting polymers such as polyaniline, can be synthesized in one step without the need for any template.
Conventional synthesis yields polyaniline having granular morphology. However, if the conventional reaction is seeded by 2-4 mg (seed quantities) of added nanofibers, the bulk morphology changes dramatically from granular to nano-fibrillar. When the reaction is seeded by vanadium pentoxide nanofibers, this method can be extended to all major classes of conducting polymers, including polypyrrole, PEDOT and other polythiophenes etc.[2][3]

A quick connect coupling incorporates several improvements including the combination of several functions into a single component. A single stop member provides a structure for holding a check valve spring, and also provides a stop for the check valve. The single component further provides positioning for an o-ring. The coupling also includes a pilot which includes compressible ribs at its outer peripheral surface such that the pilot is self-centering preventing excessive off-centering of the tube. In addition, the position of an o-ring relative to a retainer is tightly controlled such that upon insertion of a tube into the connector, the tube will initially encounter a resistance force by compression of the seal. Once this resistance force is overcome, the tube will immediately begin to encounter a resistance force from the retainer. Thus, an installer does not see two separate resistance forces, but rather sees a continuous single resistance force. In this way, the installer is less likely to believe that a partially-connected tube is fully-connected.
1. A method of providing a fluid coupling comprising the steps of:
1) providing a housing receiving a seal and also receiving a retainer, said seal being positioned relative to said retainer such that a resistance force to insertion of a fluid-handling member by compression of said seal occurring as a continuous force with a resistance force to insertion of the fluid-handling member by said retainer;
2) inserting a fluid-handling member into said housing such that said fluid-handling member begins to compress said seal, said fluid-handling member initially encountering a resistance to insertion from said seal, and said compression force resistance from said seal being overcome, and said fluid-handling member then immediately encountering resistance force from said retainer such that there is no break in resistance, and
3) continuing to insert said fluid-handling member until the resistance force from said retainer is overcome.
2. A fluid coupling comprising:
a housing extending along a central axis between an inner and an outer end;
a retainer positioned adjacent said outer end of said housing, said retainer being structured such that when a fluid-handling member is moved into said housing, said retainer provides a resistance to insertion of said fluid-handling member, and once said resistance force is overcome, portions of said retainer move to allow passage of the fluid-handling member, said retainer thereafter retaining said fluid-handling member in said housing;
said handling member received in said housing;
a seal for sealing an outer surface of said fluid-handling member after having been compressed by said fluid-handling member; and
said seal being positioned relative to said retainer such that a resistance due to compression of said seal occurring as a continuous resistance force along with the resistance force from said retainer, said seal being positioned such that said fluid-handling member initially compresses said seal, and once said compression of said seal is complete an enlarged portion of said fluid handling member, then immediately begins to force said legs of said retainer radially outwardly such that there is no break in resistance.
3. A fluid coupling as recited in
4. A fluid coupling as recited in
5. A fluid coupling as recited in
This invention relates to an improvement in fluid quick connect couplings wherein the various components of the coupling are positioned with a greater degree of accuracy than in the prior art. Moreover, fewer components are required. With the inventive fluid coupling, the o-ring and retainer are positioned such that there will be only one continuous resistance to insertion of a tube.
Quick connect couplings are utilized in the prior art to connect fluid tubes to other fluid components, particularly on vehicles. As used in this application the term �tube� refers to any type of fluid carrying line.
Typically, a quick connect coupling includes a retainer with a plurality of resilient legs that flex outwardly to allow passage of an enlarged bead on the tube. The legs flex radially inwardly behind the bead, locking the tube in the component. Although this is the most common type of quick connect coupling, aspects of this inventive do have benefits in other types of couplings.
The use of quick connect couplings in a manufacturing process does present some challenges. In some cases, the assemblers have not fully connected the tube within the quick connect coupling. There is a required insertion force for moving the tube bead beyond the retainer legs to insure that the tube is fully connected by the quick connect coupling. If the quick connect coupling does not fully receive the tube (i.e., the bead does not move beyond the retainer legs), then fluid pressure on the tube, such as will occur during operation of the vehicle, can cause the tube to be blown outwardly of the coupling. This is, of course, undesirable.
Moreover, known quick connect couplings utilize a number of components that each have their own dimensional tolerances. By increasing the number of components, the number of dimensional tolerances, or total �stack up� of combined tolerances increases. This makes it difficult to reliably and accurately position the components relative to each other. To this end, it would be desirable to decrease the number of components in a fluid quick connect coupling.
Finally, standard quick connect couplings have a condition where their multiple components create excessive clearances that allow the tube to become off axis from the connector housing. This condition minimizes the effectiveness of the coupling seal. The prior art does not attempt to improve this problem.
In the disclosed invention, a fluid quick connect coupling reduces the number of components over the prior art. This reduces the number of individual dimensional tolerances and consequently the stack-up of dimensional tolerances. In this way, the relative positioning of the several components may be more tightly controlled. By being able to more tightly control the positioning of the components, one is able to achieve certain goals. In addition, by reducing the number of components, the cost and assembly time are also reduced.
One goal achieved by reducing the dimensional stack-up is that relative positioning of the o-ring and the retainer legs may be better optimized. The present invention also optimizes the relative position of the o-ring and the retainer. The o-ring seals the tube, and the retainer legs hold the tube. Both provide resistance to insertion of the tube. The seal resistance is due to compressing the seal. Typically, the seal resistance occurs, then there is a break in resistance, then the retainer leg resistance occurs. In the past, assemblers have sometimes interpreted the resistance force from the seal as being the retainer resistance force. Thus, once the seal resistance force has been overcome, the assembler has stopped further insertion. Such a tube is not fully connected.
The present invention positions the seal relative to the retainer leg such that there is no break between compression of the seal, and beginning to encounter the retainer leg resistance. Thus, an assembler is not given a �false feel� that by having overcome the seal insertion resistance, the assembler has fully connected the tube. Rather, there is one continuous resistance to insertion. In a preferred embodiment, the seal is positioned such that once seal resistance is overcome, the assembler immediately begins to encounter resistance from the retainer legs.
The use of the reduced number of components, provides valuable benefits in the positioning the o-ring relative to the retainer legs. The manufacturing tolerance stack-up makes it more difficult to accurately position an o-ring relative to the retainer. Thus, the two above-discussed portions of this invention benefit each other.
To achieve the component reduction, a single component is utilized to provide the three functions of an o-ring positioner, a spring holder for a check valve spring, and a stop to prevent undue movement of the check valve. The use of a single component to provide all three of these functions reduces the number of required components.
In other features of this invention, the valve seat has an optimized structure wherein there is a line contact that provides the valve seat, and the valve body is cut away at positions removed from the line contact at the valve seat.
In further features of this invention, a pilot member guides the tube into the housing. The pilot member is formed with compression ribs axially on its outer periphery. These ribs eliminate tolerance stack-up between the pilot and the housing. This is accomplished by the equally spaced ribs compressing evenly and centering the pilot. The compressed ribs tend to bias the pilot, and the evenly centered pilot positions the tube as if the pilot was one piece with the housing. This also benefits the optimization of component positioning.
The various combined features of this invention complement each other and result in a quick connect coupling which provides valuable benefits when compared to the prior art.
These and other features of the present invention can be best understood from the following specification and drawings, of which the following is a brief description.
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of an inventive quick connect coupling.
FIG. 2A is an exploded view of the inventive quick connect coupling.
FIG. 2B shows a detail of the pilot member.
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the insertion of a tube into the inventive quick connect coupling.
FIG. 4 shows a step just after the step shown in FIG. 3.
FIG. 5 shows a detail of the valve seat and valve body shown in FIG. 1.
FIG. 6 shows a common problem with insertion of a tube into a quick connect coupling.
FIG. 7 shows a benefit of the present invention in correcting the problem illustrated in FIG. 6.
A quick connect coupling 20 is illustrated in FIG. 1. A tube 22 has a bead 24 which is held in place by a retainer 26. Retainer 26 is formed with a plurality of circumferentially-spaced resilient legs 28. Legs 28 flex radially outwardly when the tube 22 is inserted into the retainer 26. The legs allow passage of the bead 24. Once the bead 24 has moved axially inwardly beyond legs 28, the legs 28 snap back radially inwardly behind bead 24. The retainer 26 thus locks tube 22 in place in the coupling 20.
The retainer 26 is secured to a housing 32 by a plurality of fingers 30. The fingers 30 snap behind a circumferential ledge 34 on the housing 32. A pilot member 36 includes an end face 38 which guides the tube 22 into the bore of the housing 32. Also, an axially outer portion of the end face 38 preferably abuts ledge 34 and bead 24 when the tube 22 is fully assembled. Pilot member 36 has an inner end 40 which abuts one side of an o-ring 42. A one-piece stop 44 includes an outer end 46 which abuts the other side of o-ring 42.
One-piece stop 44 not only provides a stop for o-ring 26, it also provides a stop for a ball valve and holds a spring for the ball valve, as will now be explained. A frustro-conical portion 48 of stop 44 extends from a ledge 49. Ledge 49 extends radially outwardly to a cylindrical portion 47 that extends towards outer end 46. Ledge 49 mounts a spring 50 which biases a ball check valve 52 against a seat 54 in the housing 32, A ball stop 55 on stop 44 stops check valve 52 when it moves against the spring movement of force of spring 50 and away from seat 54. Passages 53 (one of which is shown) allow fluid to flow through stop 44. In the prior art, more than one piece was typically utilized to provide the function of a ball stop, a spring holder, and an o-ring positioner. The use of the one-piece stop 44 to provide all three of these functions reduces the number of components required for the coupling 20. As discussed above, this reduces the overall tolerance stack-up of coupling 20.
As shown in FIG. 2A, the housing 32 receives check valve 52, spring 50, stop 44, o-ring 42, pilot 36 and then the retainer 26. Pilot 36 is formed with a plurality of axial ribs 56. The ribs 56 are especially well shown in FIG. 2B. Ribs 56 are resiliently compressible, and perform a centering function as will be explained below. Ribs 56 are preferably formed as thin, out-jutting portions formed at equal circumferentially spaced locations on the outer periphery of the pilot 36. In one example, there might be four of the ribs 56 equal spaced about the outer periphery of the pilot 36. In one embodiment the ribs had a width of 1 mm, a height of 0.18 mm and a length of 5 mm for a coupling to receive a tube with a diameter of 9.5 mm.
As shown in FIG. 3, a feature of this invention includes an optimum positioning of the o-ring 42 relative to the retainer leg 28. This optimum positioning is made available in some respects because of the reduction in dimensional stack-up due to the one-piece stop 44, although it is not limited to a coupling with this reduction. In the inventive aspect shown in FIG. 3, the tube 22 is inserted, with bead 24 approaching legs 28. In the position shown in FIG. 3, a ramped smaller diameter portion 58 at the inner end of tube 22 is moving beyond the o-ring 42. As the tube moves along the o-ring from its smaller portion 58 towards its nominal outer diameter 60, the o-ring 42 is compressed. The compression of the o-ring 42 provides a resistance to insertion of the tube that an assembler must overcome. Generally, resistance to insertion is feedback to the assembler of when the tube is fully assembled. In the past, overcoming the resistance from compressing the o-ring has sometimes been interpreted by the assembler that the tube was fully received within the quick connect coupling. In the past, the assembler has thus sometimes stopped further insertion of the tube, and the tube was not fully connected.
FIG. 4 shows a step in the connection of the tube 22 just after the position shown in FIG. 3. The smaller diameter portion 58 has now moved past the o-ring 42 and the outer peripheral portion 60 of the tube 22 has compressed the o-ring 42. The seal resistance has now been overcome. At this location, the bead 24 is already beginning to flex the legs 28 radially outwardly. Once the assembler overcomes the resistance to insertion due to the legs 28, the bead 24 will have moved beyond the legs and the legs can snap back behind the bead 24 to hold the tube 22 as shown in FIG. 1.
In the present invention, the o-ring 42 is positioned such that once the resistance due to compression of the o-ring 42 is overcome, the bead 28 will immediately begin to contact and flex legs 28 radially outwardly. The flexing of legs 28 radially outwardly provides a second resistance to insertion of the tube. The o-ring 42 and legs 28 are positioned such that there is one continuous resistance to insertion of the tube from the two components. There is no intermediate break. Thus, the assembler will not be provided with a false feedback that by having overcome the force of compressing the o-ring, the assembler has now fully assembled the connector. Rather, there is only one continuous resistance to insertion.
FIG. 5 shows a detail of valve seat 54 in the housing 32. As shown, a single line contact 62 is formed about the ball 52. The line contact is set to be at an angle of approximately 120� relative to a central axis of the ball 52. The ball 52 is preferably formed of a Viton material. The improved ball and seat provide valuable benefits in achieving a fluid tight seal.
FIG. 6 shows one other feature of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 6. A pilot 35 without compression ribs 56 on pilot 36 as shown in FIG. 7 would allow tube 22 to become cocked due to opposing external side load forces applied to tube 22 and housing 32. This cocked condition minimizes the effectiveness of seal 42. Due to manufacturing processes, pilot 35 would have a clearance into housing 32 in the worst case stack-up condition. This clearance will allow the pilot to shift from the center axis of housing 32. The tube 22 can now cock for the amount of clearance between tube 22 and pilot 35 plus the clearance between pilot 35 and housing 32. Compression ribs 56 shown in FIG. 7 eliminates the clearance between pilot 36 and housing 32. Thus, the pilot maximizes the effectiveness of seal 42.
In summary, the present invention achieves several benefits and improvements over the prior art quick connect couplings. A worker of ordinary skill in the art would recognize that certain modifications would come within the scope of this invention. For that reason, the following claims should be studied to determine the true scope and content of this invention.

We are taking an Oceania Cruise on "The ship Riviera" around Spain and to Gibraltar and Morocco and ending in LIsbon. Everything looks wonderful and there are quite few great shore trips offered. Has anyone taken an Oceania Cruise (especially similar to the one we re taking) and how did you like it? I'm anxious to hear from you.

We have taken 2 Oceania cruises--it became our favorite line about 1 day into the 1st one. Love the size of the ships, the fabulous service, the open seating dining, the free specialty restaurants, the lack of formal nights, the Tourist Office reps who get on at every port.
One was Barcelona to Lisbon--perhaps similar to yours. I recommend adding additional days in both Barcelona and Lisbon.
If you go to www.cruisecritic.com, you will find an entire message board dedicated to Oceania, and you can look in the Roll Call boards (Oceania, Riviera, sailing date) to find fellow passengers. You can connect with people with whom to share private excursions. We don't do ship's excursions.

Thanks for the information Abram. We did add extra days in both Barcelona and Lisbon and are looking forward to the trip. We are going to do some of the ship's excursions also.
Report Abuse
Many people like the ship's excursions--for us, they never seem to have the right combination of things we want to see, and there's too much time (for my impatient self) waiting for a herd of people to get on/off the bus, use the restroom, etc. Just our personal preference.
Report Abuse
We've done 3 cruises on Oceania, but all on the older "R" Class ships. Loved them all. Food is the best of any line we've tried. Service is exceptional, except as seems to be common on all ships, the front office - those folks have never been helpful, but as I said that seems to be the same no matter which line or ship we're on.
If you're willing to do the research, think you'll get more for your money with private guides rather than ship's tours. Haven't used any of the excursions on our Oceania cruises, always hired our own, and loved it.
Report Abuse
abram and boom_boom, I really do appreciate your information. I know what you mean about the ship's tours as we have done some in the past on other cruises. We are doing a couple of the ship's tours which appealed to us, but are going to take our own tours in other places. We are looking forward to our trip which is next month.

If you love Oceania half as much as we do, you'll have a fabulous time!

Thanks abram, will let you know how we liked it when we get back.

We too love Oceania..but beware, they flood your mail box with offers and brochures and its VERY difficult to get them to stop all the mailings. It took us almost a year of receiving several brochures a week (!) to get our name off their list. When we next want to cruise, we know whom to cruise with (Oceania)... but we don't want all their literature when we are not interested in traveling.

San Luis Pass House Rental Photos and Description
3 Bedrooms, 1 Full bath (with tub) plus outdoor shower, Sleeps 8
Located just steps from the swimming beach and at the end of a cul-de-sac, this newly renovated home offers a fully stocked kitchen with granite countertops, tile floor, dishwasher and microwave. Enjoy your morning coffee or evening cocktails on the deck while watching the dolphins, pelicans and waves. Stay outside on the deck in the evening for some amazing stargazing - far away from the bright lights of Galveston & Surfside.

The home also has high-speed internet for those emergency calls from work or to update your facebook page with your amazing vacation pictures! BR #2 has 19' TV w/ satellite. The bathroom has a tub with shower, granite countertop, and tile floor. A large closet each of the bedrooms gives ample space to store your suitcases
Treasure Island: Treasure Island at San Luis Pass is a quiet, family oriented hamlet with 20 miles of beach that reaches all the way to Surfside. The community is located at the base of San Luis Pass Bridge. Due to damage caused by Hurricane Ike, the swimming area for the community can only be accessed by a crossover less than a block away from the house (at the end of Jolly Roger - see th crossover bridge in above pictures). Treasure Island is perfect for those who want to get a way from the crowds, spend their days at the beach, and their evenings reconnecting with family and friends while sitting on the deck. Across the road is San Luis Pass County Park. It offers a public boat launch into Christmas Bay, the perfect place for kayaking and sailing. The park also includes fishing areas and fish cleaning stations. A pavillion for family or group gatherings is available for rent. Treasure Island offers a convenience store (Bright Light) that sells everything from bait to lunchmeat to fuel filters!
Going to Galveston: Galveston Island is just across the toll bridge ($2 each direction). Galveston's Historic District and the Strand are about 30 miles (45 min) away. While in the historic district, tour Galveston's historic mansions, visit the Elissa (tall sailing ship) and the Texas Seaport Museum, or go shopping and dining in the many restaurants and bars the area offers. Moody Gardens, Schliterbaun Waterpark, and the Lone Star Flight Museum are about 25 miles (35 min) from the house. The start of Seawall Blvd is only about 25 minutes away with mini-golf, restaurants, and Kroger. For more information on what to do in Galveston go to www.galveston.com
Surfside and Brazoria County Attractions: Just up Bluewater Highway from Treasure Island is Surfside. Surfside offers a liquor store, grocery, and several bars and restaurants. Be sure to take a walk on the Jetty to get a unique look at the island from the water. It's always fun to stand next to the 'big boats' as they go into and out of the harbor. From Surfside, Lake Jackson offers Sea Center Texas (a free aquarium & nature center), Brazosport Museum of Natural Science, the Brazos Mall, Walmart and many grocery stores. Nearby golf courses are located in Freeport and Lake Jackson (each is approx 40 min away). For more information on what to do in Brazoria County go to www.visitbrazosport.com

About Jamie Flick
I bought the house in the spring of 2011. It was a dream come true! As a child, my family took our annual vacation to the beach for a whole week. Some of my favorite childhood memories are of going to the beach with my family. It has been wonderful to hear from some of my guests that their family has made some of those same lasting memories while staying at my house!
Jamie Flick purchased this house in 2011
Why Jamie Flick chose San Luis Pass
Treasure Island is a quiet subdivision. My house is at the end of the swimming beach that stretches all the way to Surfside. Although the house is not 'technically' beachfront, I have had many people tell me that I should advertise it that way because the views are so spectacular!
Guestbook comments from the owner
Had a great time. The house was by far more than we could have hoped for. Mom thoroughly enjoyed staying here over a hotel. If we come through again, we will definitely try you first

I had stayed in two Quality Inns prior to this one and found them to me very nice. As a result I didn't check the reviews on this facility. I should have! Room had a strange order, there was a huge squashed bug on the wall, the bedspread was torn and stained, there were crumbs and smears on the night... More

8 Most Commonly Held Misconceptions About the Israel-Palestine Conflict
Continued from previous page
The other misconceptions show there could be a very real possibility of changing U.S. policy, if progressive groups are willing to make the effort. But they won't have any success unless they confront misconception number one head on, debunk it, and rebuild the public narrative on a foundation of truth about Israel's strength and security.
