I might have asked this ages ago - I don't remember. If I don't remember asking, I'm sure not gonna remember any answers I got.
so, anyone use some that really do work? or does air leak back into them? I bought some yrs and yrs ago and they didn't stay air free. I'm hoping they're making them better these days. I have a good number of comforters to store and they take up a lot of space in their natural state. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Yes and yes. I've had no problem with air leakage. They were especially useful when I lived by you in Gilbert. With no basement, storage was shelving in the garage. They kept critters out, such as spiders and those awful hoards of brown striped crickets that were everywhere, absolutely covering the sidewalks and getting in the houses during the summer... major YUCK!!! |
I have some and I don't think there has been any leakage. But do you know what I found? The items that I put in the space bags I NEVER used. I man, NEVER. We moved into this house in 2007 and there are still space bags on the shelf in one closet. So it might be that you can o without a lot of the things that might end up in a space bag. Now, if storage is really, Really a problem . . . like, if you don't have room to store a second set of sheets for each bed, or the spare towels, then I think they might be a good solution, if a little bit of a hassle to use regularly. I think the best use is for winter linens that you know you'll use seasonally, but don't need to get into regularly. |

what brand do you guys have? are they suctioned out by a vacuum? mostly I want them for comforters I have that I'd use if someone stayed over night here. That's not real likely to happen - but then, it did a few yrs back when my nephew spent about 3 days here. I was so unprepared to have anyone here... didn't have a spare pillow, or blanket (it was winter and I had no heat in that room). My sister has given me several comforters and I bought a few at GW (those were for my dog; hers were barely used and beautiful). My girl is gone now and I've washed up those I bought for her (to pad her landing when jumping off the bed). I don't have a spare bed so figured if I could store them w/o using much room I could use most to pad the floor for someone. I had thought I'd buy an air mattress - but, I already have these so rather than put money out for a mattress I might never use I'd rather just store the comforters. |

I used them and they kept contents clean, but the air did seep back in so the weren't as compact as in the beginning. |
- Posted by desertsteph (My Page) on Tue, Jun 26, 12 at 23:32
that was my experience also. I have found 2 or 3 empty ones while sorting thru things. I'm gonna go ahead and wipe 'em down (dusty) and put my clean blankets in them - they'll at least (hopefully) stay clean til next winter when I need them. |

Yesterday, while rearranging my yarn stash, I opened a large space bag of unused skeins of acrylic yarn and the smell almost knocked me out. Very chemical odor; I remembered that this happened a couple of years ago with other yarn, a donation from the same person, also in a space bag. Then and now, I set the yarn in baskets out in the sun and got rid of the smell pretty well. Any residue will wash away, but just wanted to let you know of my experience. I don't know how it would be with natural fibers...... |
- Posted by desertsteph (My Page) on Fri, Jun 29, 12 at 21:36
that would be a problem for me... I've washed these things up already and want them kept clean - and not stinky. I have to go to a laundromat and it's not easy for me to do that. scents like that can be very bad for me too. In those I have used (tho they got air flow) didn't leave a scent like that on the items. I have problems in the detergent aisle at the store. I have to walk quickly and grab what I need and get out of it quickly. Last wk and yesterday I've had lots of problems because they were tarring/asphalting my road. I have a problem even in a tire shop or at a perfume counter. |

We use the 2 gallon zip-lock type kitchen storage bags for the boat. Just fold the clothes and put them in then push all the air out of the clothes and bag - squash them down and seal them gradually as we get the air out. Works great and is easy and inexpensive. I do the same thing when we travel - a set of clothes for a day in each bag makes it easy to organize things and for a car trip means there is no need to bring in a whole suitcase, just what is needed. |

My husband just got 2 for our linen closet, and I was really impressed by how they shrunk down quilts and pillows. |
- Posted by desertsteph (My Page) on Sat, Jun 30, 12 at 21:10
y-g, what brand are they? are they still shrunk? how long have they been that way? |
I use them, they work. Great for seasonal items. I it agree that is a pain to load and unload them, you won't be getting that stuff out back weekly. I think they smell a little plastic-ish, but not bad. never noticed any stickiness. I think all mine are space bag brand. I cant load my stuff (mostly comforters and blankets) in them evenly enough to get nice flat packs like the ads show. Mine end up lumpy and hard to stack. I have had a couple I wasn't careful enough with and got little holes and leaks. |
- Posted by desertsteph (My Page) on Fri, Jul 6, 12 at 21:37
jenny - i doubt I'd need them real flat like the ads (tho that'd be nice). I have a good sized wooden chest I can put them in. They won't be seen until needed. I just wanna squish them as much as possible to give me more space. can you tape up those holes? |
I tried to use packing tape on the holes but I don't think it worked. Partly because I was too impatient to do a good job, and partly because it's hard to be sure there's not more than 1 leak. They are definitely worth a try, especially for items that are full of air like sweaters and comforters, beach towels. Maybe not worth the effort for sheets. |
- Posted by desertsteph (My Page) on Sun, Jul 8, 12 at 13:41
would a vinyl patch work better on it? I used those on an air mattress... also put air in it and put it in water. it'll bubble where there are leaks. circle them w/a marker. then dry off (don't rub off the marks) and patch. maybe air dry it |
I got a few to store extra pillows for guests, they take up so much room in the closet! And with the vacuum bags (got them at Walmart I believe, and they brought the storage size down to 1/4 what the size of regular pillows took before. I only had one bag come back to almost normal size, but the other bags did great. I got the kind that you use a vacuum to pull the air out. |
- Posted by desertsteph (My Page) on Mon, Jul 9, 12 at 16:43
"I got the kind that you use a vacuum to pull the air out." that's what I need. mine I have to push the air out. I think I'm gonna try vacuuming it out mostly anyway and see if it helps much. |
- Posted by nancy_in_mich (My Page) on Sun, Jul 15, 12 at 11:23
I agree with Jakabedy - I used the bag for stuff I never used again. As a matter of fact, I just put the four love seat slipcovers I had in these bags out for Purple Heart. Mine were the vacuum-out-the-air kind. Mine did leak. Steph - I have asthma reactions to the very same things you mentioned! We get unscented products because of this. I cannot have ammonia or any heavy-duty cleaners. Gasoline or diesel exhausts and old-fashioned oil paints and stains also did me in. I stained a garden bench last Sunday, though, and it did me no harm. I think they finally got the worst chemicals out of stains. As for perfume, I get a tickle in my lungs that makes me cough uncontrollably. We had to stop going to the opera because of it. With opera tickets, you sit next to the same people each time because you all bought season tickets. One of the ladies near us must have had really offensive perfume, I just could not take it. It is no fun to spend the night strategically working to prevent myself from coughing. With your sensitivities, do you have an asthmatic reaction? Headaches? |
- Posted by desertsteph (My Page) on Sun, Jul 15, 12 at 13:29
I don't know if it's an asthmatic reaction (I'd have to look that up - and will). I don't usually get headaches either. I did get one at the movies the other yr (I only go about once a yr) from cologne worn by some guy sitting in front of me. My gf traded seats w/me but I could still smell it. I was so glad to get out of there. I wasn't sure I'd make it to the end of the movie. That even started happening with a perfume I used to wear - White Diamonds. I wore it for yrs, switched to something else and then when someone else wore WD it caused me breathing problems. |

I have them and love the hanging ones as I pile our winter coats on the hangers and the make my already over packed hall closet bearable. I ordered alot and did have a few that had holes or gaping issues but they compress really well when they hold air. My sister ordered at the same time through QVC and they sent her more to make up for the bad ones after she called to complain.:) |

Lockout Over For Minnesota Orchestra Musicians
Wednesday, January 15, 2014
(Minneapolis, MN) -- A deal is in place to end a 15-month lockout involving Minnesota Orchestra musicians. KSTP-TV reports the musicians are taking a 15-percent cut to their base salaries from 2012 and will pay more for their health insurance. The average salary for the musicians when the lockout started in October 2012 was 135-thousand dollars. The three-year contract takes effect February 1st.

WASHINGTON, August 26, 2013 – Supporters of California's AB 711 argue that hunters in the U.S. shoot over 3,000 pounds of lead into the environment yearly, resulting in nearly 20 million bird deaths due to lead poisoning every year. The birds are poisioned after eating discarded carcasses left by hunters.
The California condor eats animal carcasses and is one of the animals the new proposed state law seeks to protect.
SEE RELATED: Texas State Troopers conducting body cavity searches at traffic stops
The website "Hunt for Truth" (HFT) offers an opposing opinion to that of the scientific community and supporters of a proposed California law that would ban the use of lead bullets for hunting within the state.
As more studies reveal the dangers posed by lead bullets, several states have proposed similar bans on lead ammunition for hunting. The Center for Biological Diversity has previously urged the EPA to ban lead ammunition citing negative effects on birds protected under the Federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act including eagles, swans, and condors.
Passing Assembly and now making its way through the state Senate, AB 711 would ban all lead bullets for hunting within the state. At the same time it would provide California hunters with replacement non-lead bullets free of charge or at low cost.
The NRA is calling AB 711 and similar laws calling for a ban on lead ammunition an "assault on traditional hunting."
SEE RELATED: Payroll debit cards: hitting vulnerable employees where it hurts
"Anti-lead ammunition groups will not rest until all lead ammunition, and ultimately hunting, is banned," the NRA has said.
Hunt for Truth discusses several reasons for opposing the lead ammo ban.
The main arguments are that lead from bullets, citing a study Lead in Game Meat (Nuremberg, March 2013), is not dangerous for human consumption, a ban will create a shortage of alternative ammunition, the more lethal non-lead forms of ammo run the risk of being considered armor piercing, and the ban is just the first step in a left-wing conspiracy to end hunting altogether and ultimately obliterate the Second Amendment.
HTF divides lead into metallic and industrial lead. It then claims that the metallic lead used in bullets reacts to oxygen to form a protective layer that protects lead fragments from further oxidation. For this reason, according to HTF, "the lead can remain on the ground in the environment for a very long period of time in an essentially inert state."
SEE RELATED: Factory meat killing Americans with antibiotic resistant MRSA bacteria
HFT provides no scientific evidence for this claim.
HTF also asserts that even if ingested by birds, lead from bullets is not broken down by the birds' digestive tract and usually passes through the system intact, without harming the animal.
This statement stands in contrast to a number of studies that state the opposite, including a 2010 study (PDF) performed by scientists at U.C. Santa Cruz, the National Park Service, and the U.S. Geological Service.
In contrast, Hunt for Truth (HTF) provides no scientific backing for its claims, other than a 10-year-old study that, when read closely, states that turkey vultures, because their digestive systems are more resistant to lead poisoning than most birds, would be poor models for assessing the risk of lead poisoning to California Condors.
There is nothing in this study to back HFT's claims that lead fragments pass through the system of most birds without causing any harm.
Also without citing any scientific evidence, HFT claims that the main culprits of lead poisoning in wild species like the California condor are the carcasses of industrial livestock, which contain lead from gasoline, paint, and pesticides—not bullets.
Hunt for Truth also blames "microtrash,"coins, bottle caps, and fishhooks discarded by humans as the reason for lead poisoning in most wild birds.
Aside from listing a number of studies (most of them over 10 years old and some dating back to the 1970s) proving that there are multiple avenues for lead poisoning in both humans and wildlife, HTF does not present a single piece of scientific, peer-reviewed evidence that specifically shows that lead fragments from bullets are not toxic to wildlife.
On the other side, conservationists in support of the lead bullet ban argue that the toxicity of lead is undisputed, both "metallic" and "industrial." There are an overwhelming number of older and more recent peer-reviewed studies proving specifically that lead bullet fragments cause lead poisoning and death in birds if ingested.
Recognizing the danger of lead ammunition, the U.S. government instituted a federal ban on lead bullets for hunting waterfowl in 1991.
Proponents of the ban argue that lead free bullets perform the same, if not better, than lead bullets and are so accurate that even the U.S. military is making the change to copper bullets.
Hunt for Truth explain sthe overwhelming scientific consensus on lead's toxicity and danger to wild birds as the result of a highly organized secret network of "activist scientists" with an environmental agenda.
Perhaps the most convincing argument set forth by HFT is that the ban could lead to an ammunition shortage. According to websites like AmmoLand.com, if AB 711 and similar laws pass, hunters face the specter of "empty shelves of ammunition when hunting season comes along."
While it is true that hunters may face an ammo shortage if the ban passes, there is already an ammunition shortage in the U.S. and it has nothing to do with the lead bullet ban. In any case, lead free bullets are in fact currently widely available from most major and some minor manufacturers.
Another reason to oppose AB 711 and similar laws, according to HTF, is that non-lead ammo runs the risk of being considered armor piercing ammunition, banned in the U.S. since by the Federal Gun Control Act of 1968. However, the 1968 Act contains a specific exception for sporting purposes and would not affect hunters' ability to use such ammunition.
On its website, HFT lists organizations like The Ventana Wildlife Society, California Condor Recovery Team, Peregrine Fund, Natural Resources Defense Council, San Diego Zoo, Raptor Education Group, and Center for Biological Diversity, stating that it planned to "expose" them for misleading the public about the dangers of lead ammunition.
"Hunt for Truth will expose the researchers associated with 'faulty science' critical of lead ammunition," states the website. So far, however, HFT has failed to expose any faulty science.

I just got back into town today I called out of work till
saterday I was happy to go see people who atucally knew me
They just didn't act like they did they did. Erik
left this week to go on tour and Sunday Leo comes back into
town he gets to meet Josh along with the rest of us
again for the first time in almost a year. I missed
him and I didn't relize it till the other night before
I left when I took a look at that stage and relized
that everything was different. This is not where I saw myself in
a million years I didn't want to go to college.
I didn't want to much of anything and know
I have energy and everything to do stuff since I
stopped abusing my body not to say that sometimes
I don't but I have stopped doing it so much and
I feel so good about getting up in the morning than
I have in weeks or years and this is a total new feeling
for me i now this sounds like rambling and for
the most part it is but being around people who

9th Annual BMRP Investigator Meeting - Abstract
Circulating MicroRNAs in Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Can They Provide Insights into Disease Pathogenesis and Might They Have Diagnostic Utility?

Micro-RNAs (miRNAs), once referred to as the biological equivalent of "dark matter", serve as a second layer of genetic regulation that acts to negatively regulate gene expression, impacting on almost every known biological process. They circulate in the blood, representing a window on our status of health. We sought to determine whether serum miRNAs might serve as diagnostic and prognostic markers of Crohn's disease (CD), and ulcerative colitis (UC). Peripheral blood was obtained from patients with active CD (confined to the colon), active UC, and from active rheumatoid arthritis patients and normal healthy adults (control groups). MiRNAs in serum samples from 10 subjects in each participant group were assessed and compared by miRNA microarray analysis. Additional serum samples are being collected to enable validation of results. Pooled serum samples are to be analyzed by "deep sequencing" in order to identify potentially novel miRNAs associated with inflammatory bowel disease.

Considering his background, these are amazing statements and I believe you will agree with me when you hear his story. This gentleman's name is David Bergman. He lives in Hernando, Fla. and owns and operates Remembrance Educational Media, where he has written multi-media educational materials that are in use in more than 8,000 schools throughout the United States and several foreign countries.
What makes David Bergman's story so amazing is that he is also an author, speaker, inventor and survivor of the Nazi Holocaust. In all my days as a columnist I have had thousands of letters from readers, but never one from a survivor of the Nazi Holocaust and I felt honored that he would write to me. He was responding to a column that I had written about decisions that ran in the Citrus Country Chronicle published in Crystal River, Fla. If you have ever felt low or depressed because of your circumstances or background, this man's story could definitely give you a lift. Since everything is relative, please listen to his story and see by comparison if you do not count yourself as one of the most blessed people on earth.
David was born in Czechoslovakia and at the age of 12, he and his family and all the Jewish people in his hometown were deported to Auschwitz. During the next 14 months he was taken to four other Nazi death camps where millions perished. After he was liberated, he learned that he was the only one from his family to survive and the only youth of his age who made it back alive. After being set free, he wanted to find out who within him made the decisions and who guided him safely through one life-threatening experience after another.
After a period of more than 25 years of intense study of the brain and interacting that knowledge with the life-threatening experiences he encountered in the Nazi death camps, he learned the following. He learned the words "I WANT" were the hallmark of his survival. I WANT to live. I WANT to survive. I WANT to be set free again and be re-united with my family. You see, he had literally programmed his mind and at this point his auto pilot took over and gave him the will to survive. As he says, "All the decisions were made for me by that internal and invisible guiding force."
One of the things that helped him greatly was humor. Listen to these words: "When I was held captive early in the death camps, a few of us victims who somehow managed to maintain a positive outlook on life would get together secretly after work just to exchange humorous stories. These exchanges helped us to temporarily numb the horrors we faced, thus making it possible for us to make it through another difficult and trying day."
When he was liberated, he again applied humor to help him cope from the devastating losses of loved ones, home country and identity. What a story!
After having come to grips with his past, David decided that he wanted to make something out of his life and make a contribution to others. He came to the realization that humor is also very important today in order to be able to cope with the many unpleasant and stressful situations we are all exposed to. As a result, he began to collect various humorous phrases that would put a smile on his face. As he says, "You don't have to be a doctor to prescribe humor."
Here are several of the humorous phrases that are printed in David Bergman's brochure:
- "Admit your errors before someone else exaggerates them."
- "There has been an alarming increase in the number of things I know nothing about."
- "The trouble with being a good sport is that you have to lose to prove it."
- "I want less corruption, or more opportunities to participate in it."
- "If you want your dreams to come true, you must first wake up."
- "Most people are willing to change not because they see the light, but because they feel the heat."
- "The closest to perfection most people ever come is when he or she fills out a job application."
- "Sorry I forgot your birthday, but that is not going to happen again. Next time, I am not going to be sorry."
While I don't know about you, I would say it's pretty amazing to see a man come from David's background and have this kind of outlook on life. What's more, this man has made a great success out of his life.
If you are angry about something, get over it. Put a smile on your face and get out there, work hard and have fun while you are achieving success and you can laugh all the way to the bank.
God Bless America.

To date, she has reached over 10, 000 students, from Pre-K through college, in over 100 residencies, workshops and performances. She has been recognized in many organizations including the Wolftrap Foundation for Early Learning and Arena Stage where she was awarded the Thomas Fichandler award for exceptional promise in theater education. Paige was also named a "classroom hero" by the Huffington Post.
Participants will explore innovative hip hop teaching methods, activities and exercises to supplement curriculum and/or to use in performance pieces. The workshop will show how each hip hop element (Emcee, DJ, Graffiti and B-boy) can easily be transformed into exercises or performance pieces.
Calling all fly girls and b-boys! Learn about significant hip hop choreographers, different styles of hip hop dance and regional/cultural influences. Then it's time to stretch and flex before you learn a brand new hip hop routine. Warning: after taking this class, your ―swagga‖ may go into overdrive!
As ensemble, participants will write, devise and perform their own ten-minute theatrical piece. Paige will lead the group through transitions, tableaux and basic play building. In the end, resources will be plentiful for the group to continue to create meaningful pieces in their communities.
A pen and a paper is all you need to be a playwright! Effortlessly create characters, plots and setting using hip hop inspiration. Participants will be inspired to create poems, monologues and basic dialogue. If there's time at the end, we'll share the genius.
I can create a workshop that meets your participants' needs. Combine elements from the workshops above or pow-wow with me to create something unique, inspiring and educational. I also have ample experience with early childhood education, STEM areas, film acting, world dance and audition techniques.

It wasn't meant to go this way.
It was meant to be a fun assignment. A lot of women would dream of being asked to test drive every vibrator on the market and write about their experience for Playboy. And while it wasn't something my parents were going to be bragging about—or even admitting knowledge of—anytime soon, I loved the idea of covering the sex business from a first-person perspective without having to sell myself or make porn. Almost as an afterthought, it occurred to me that the research might also be informative. Keep reading »

2011 Prospect Watching: Cunningham, Gonzalez, And Friends
Continuing to look at the middle infielders in the Pirates' minor league organization:
Jarek Cunningham — R/R, 6′ 1″, 185 lb
Cunningham was the Pirates' 18th round pick in the 2008 draft. After a solid debut with the GCL Pirates (.318 average with 5 homers and 22 RBI), he missed the entire 2009 season due to knee surgery. He returned with a healthy knee in 2010, assigned to West Virginia. Cunningham jumped right out to a good start, hitting .304 in April, with a homer and 5 RBI. He slumped in May to just .194, with 2 more homers and 5 RBI. Then he popped up again in June, with a .317 average, 3 homers, and a big 17 RBI. The average slipped a little in July, to .279, though the power production continued, with 4 homers and 14 RBI. The slip continued into August, as he dropped to .214 with 2 homers and 6 RBI. He finished the season with a .258 average, and not much left-right difference (.265 against lefties and .256 against righties). He had 37 doubles, 7 triples, 12 homers, and 49 RBI. He struck out a lot — 132 times in 121 games (27%), and that rate was highest in July and August. He walked just 30 times (5.6%), and that was best in June and July. Cunningham played entirely at second base during the 2010 season (2008 was split between shortstop and third). Now that there is less concern about his knee, and with his good range and arm, he could spend time at shortstop too. The 21-year-old should be ready for A+ Bradenton for 2011. He'll need to work on plate discipline and cutting back on the strikeouts.
Benji Gonzalez — R/R, 5′ 11″, 160 lb
Gonzalez was picked in the 7th round of the 2008 draft, coming out of the Puerto Rican Baseball Academy. After two seasons in the GCL, Gonzalez was promoted to West Virginia for the 2010 season. He had hit a solid .286 in the GCL in 2009, but that did not carry over to 2010 with the Power. He hit .196 in the first half of the season, then he improved to .279 for the second half, for a .236 average overall. Gonzalez has limited power, with just 12 doubles, one triple, one homer, and 35 RBI in 2010. He stole 18 bases, but was also thrown out 14 times, so that needs some improvement. Gonzalez was the main shortstop for West Virginia in 2010, and showed strong defensive play with good range and a strong arm. He'll need to work on cutting back on the errors (32) of course. After the regular season, Gonzalez went back to Puerto Rico and played in 19 games for the Puerto Rican Winter League's Gigantes de Carolina. He did not hit well there either, just .184 with 2 doubles. Despite the low hitting, Gonzalez will likely be assigned to A+ Bradenton for 2011, where his hitting will need to improve.
George Van Haltren and the Pirates
The following is from Pirates Prospects contributor John Dreker, as part of his ongoing Pirates History feature. The feature focuses on the history of the Pittsburgh Pirates, and every Sunday, John will take a look at a different piece of that history. This week John looks at George Van Haltren. George Van Haltren was a very good 19th century baseball player who is all but forgotten despite putting up some impressive career numbers....
Updates On The Non-Roster Invitees
This spring the Pittsburgh Pirates invited 22 non-roster players to their major league camp for spring training. Now just under a month into the camp, 16 of them still remain with the big league squad. In this article I will breakdown the performance of each individual player going into Sunday along with, in my opinion, their chances of making the opening day roster. First, I will start with the players who did not survive the first...

If you're old enough to have been around for the coolest parts of the 20th century, you know Duck Hunt. I don't need to explain this, do I? No. You know all about the bright orange gun and that annoying little dog and getting frustrated and walking right up to the screen and shooting an 8-bit duck point blank in the pixel. This is your childhood. And now, it's on your phone in a fantastic clone that utilizes the gyroscope in the best possible way.
Fans of old-school classics, gather round and feast your eyes! Atari has announced that two of its high-value properties will be coming to Android in 2013. First on the list is the retro hit Roller Coaster Tycoon. If you were around in the late 90s (and we assume most of our readers are over the age of 12), you might remember that there were two kinds of simulation games back then: Sim games from Maxis, and everyone else.
I don't care how good graphics get - mobile, console, or PC - there's something that I absolutely love about the old-school Nintendo feel. Perhaps the 8-bit look and feel reminds me of my childhood, or maybe because it's just so simplistic. Whatever the reason, throwback-style games like the newly-released Iron Crusade are always welcome on my devices.
There's no denying that Iron Crusade draws inspiration from the classics of yesteryear, albeit with a modern day twist.
Late last month, we heard that the 20th anniversary edition of the cult classic platformer Another World (also known as Out of this World) would be coming to Android on March 16th. If you happened to check the calendar today, then you would know that today is, in fact, the 16th. If you combine the information from the first two sentences of this post, then there is only one possible conclusion: Another World 20th Anniversary Edition is out today!
If you're a fan of old school turn-based RPGs, then you're going to love the game Konami just dropped into the Android Market: a throwback to the days of 16-bit console gaming called Ash.
The game puts you in the crumbling Empire of Aghaus, and follows the story of a pair of mercenaries after a "routine contract takes an unexpected turn" and throws them into the middle of a war that "consumes the entire continent." Sounds pretty intense.
First off, this is all in good fun. Any intelligent person could draw the conclusions this author did based on what was happening at the time, and with the limited information available about Google's plans for Android. We're posting this because it's funny to look back on it with some hindsight.
Back in 2009, Android's fate was anything but decided in the eyes of the tech journalism world, and many took a dismal view of Google's purchase of the young upstart open-source mobile operating system.
A new round of games that incorporate one of my favorite Android services, OpenFeint, has recently been released. We've gotten our all-too-idle hands on several of these games and, let me tell you, some impressive things are being brought to the table. While flipping through the games and wasting all of my time, one game stuck out to me. Maybe it was the nostalgic feel of it. Maybe it was the Indiana Jones throwback feeling of it.

I spent several hours this morning pruning, thinning and generally cleaning out bamboo in a new garden client's garden. I have very little experience working with bamboo, this being only my second bamboo-related job. I don't remember having this reaction the last time...
My arms, and, to a lesser degree, my neck, are covered with irritation and scratches. I also have blistery/pimply looking bumps all over my arms. My arms are a bit tingly, as well. Is this common? If you've had a similar reaction, have you used a product to minimize the reaction? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I've never experienced this or heard of this, and I work with bamboo a lot. That's not to say that it couldn't happen or that you don't have a special sensitivity. However, I would think something else was the cause. Does your client use chemical sprays of any kind that might have left a residue on the leaves? |
Thanks, kudzu. I can't imagine that the client uses anything - especially since he hires someone (me) to care for his garden. I work as a gardener, so spend lots of time outdoors with a large variety of ornamental plants. I don't think I've every experienced this reaction before, but I am certain that it was caused by the bamboo; I first noticed the reaction in my car, on the way home from the bamboo job. |
- Posted by kentuck_8b z8b TX (My Page) on Fri, Aug 7, 09 at 23:22
The only problem I've had with any of my bamboos, comes from the fine 'hairs' on the culm sheaths, usually on the larger bamboos, like Oldhamii. The sheaths, even after falling off are covered with dark short fibers that will make me itch, like itching powder, but I've never had an allergic reaction to it. The fibers are difficult to see. If any gets down the inside of my shirt on my back, I have to wash it off or it drives me crazy with it's itching. The fibers cannot be wiped off, they have to be washed off. Kt |
carrieb- Do you know what kind(s) of bamboo you were dealing with? And were you working bare-handed? |
Kentucky - I think the fibers are exactly what affected me! Kudzu - I don't know what kind of bamboo, though someone, when I showed photos, said it might be a sasa. The foliage is fairly large compared to other bamboo, and the culms mostly no larger than 1/2 inch thick. They seem to reach a height of about 8' at the tallest. I asked a couple friends from a local arboretum what they thought it was, and they both agree that both the undersides of the leaves, and the stalks, have scratchy fibers. The bamboo refuse all needed to be stuffed into large contractor trash bags (five full ones, in all) so I'm fairly certain that the damage happened then. I was wearing gloves, but also a short sleeved t-shirt. Next time, a long sleeved shirt might be called for! The redness has gone away, though I still have scratches and some irritated pimple-type things. I think I will survive. ~grin~ |
same thing happened to me today. Im not used to working with bamboo, and boy oh boy... it may be awhile before i do it again. |
I agree, I think it's the fine hairs that are making you itch. When I was young we had large bamboos that you could use to eat. We would cut them then carry it back to our truck. Just by carrying it I would have arms that would like that because the tiny hairs would aggravate my skin. |
The same thing just happened to me. I was trimming my bamboo, I started to get itchy and then I got a blistery rash on my arms. Gloves and a long sleeved shirt next time. |
It's actually the edges of the leaves that are cutting you, it's just like paper cuts. I remove bamboo groves for people and I get this every time I go. When you are in a grove you don't really notice it until you start sweating and then it burns. The edges of the leaves are tesselated like serrated knives. Lots of grasses will do this as well. Like Maiden grass I don't suggest doing this but if you run your finger tip along the leaves you will feel it. I carry bamboo under my arms and it cuts me to shreds. Plus in a grove branches will scratch you when you're working you don't notice it until later. |
This is an interesting thread. I've been working with bamboo for years and never get a rash and never get small cuts. I usually work in my groves with gloves on and a tee shirt. I'm not sure why there is such a wide range of experience. |
The reaction that you experienced is indeed from the bamboo- most notably from the hairs that are on the culm sheaths. I don't have any experience with any of the tropicals, but here in the pnw, the only culprit that I have seen do this is japanese arrow bamboo, Pseudosasa japonica. I have worked large Sasa groves of a couple of different species, and never had this reaction, but japonica is one that you want as much skin covered as possible. It's not debilitating, but its dang annoying for a couple of days, and the red rash lasts quite a |
- Posted by mitsieroscoe 9 (My Page) on Thu, Oct 21, 10 at 21:13
gmerrill is right! We bought a house 2 months ago and there is Pseudosasa japonica bamboo EVERYWHERE! We have been trying to trim them but we have noticed that we too start itching immediately. The only way to stop the itch is to take a shower. I still feel the pricklies days later! |
- Posted by ametrimmer(firstname.lastname@example.com) onTue, Dec 21, 10 at 1:35
OMG, I just did that now, trimmed a heap of bamboo along the side of my house and my hands and arms tingle and itch like mad1 covered in tiny little red bumps and scratches. A friend is a horticulturist or whatever it is you call a professor of plant life, aparently some varieties of bamboo contain cyanide, the edges and tips of the leaves cut your skin ever so slightly and when you cut the stem it leaks cyanide into the tiny abrasions and produces an itchy rash! The cyanide type in the bamboo, cyanogenic glycoside is taxiphyllin and disolves in boiling water, obviously you cant put your hands in a vat of boiling water but wash them under some very warm/hot water for a few minutes then once dry apply savlon cream or s mild antiseptic recommended for general rashes and it should reduce the tingling and burning. |
- Posted by darlene(firstname.lastname@example.com) onTue, Jan 4, 11 at 1:26
I get a really bad itching too when I ve trimmed my bamboo back...two different kinds....one for sure is budda's belly bamboo...and the other I m not sure of its name...however both give me the same reaction....only thing that fixes it for me is to jump into our salt water pool. |
This seems to me like an individual issue of sensitivity. I'm growing over 80 kinds of bamboo and I prune them frequently...I have never had an allergic reaction to any of the cuttings. |
- Posted by Jackie(email@example.com) onThu, Feb 24, 11 at 17:29
Ow. Been cutting down bamboo today and am covered in sore, red raised lines this evening. It didn't hurt at the time and I wasn't aware of any scratching, though my arms did feel itchy/irritated afterwards. I wore gloves but had bare arms. |
- Posted by droseflowers none (My Page) on Sun, Sep 11, 11 at 7:27
I don't know what causes this, but I have experienced this e every time we have cut bamboo that has invaded our yard (neighbor planted it). A neighbor lent me some diaper rash cream and it did wonders to clear it up. But better to keep areas covered rather than deal with the rash. |
- Posted by silversword 9A (My Page) on Sun, Sep 11, 11 at 14:48
We have bamboos that make me itchy and get red, raised spots. They have fine hairs (and some have really dark, dense hairs) and I assume that's what's doing it. A&D diaper ointment is the cheapest, most effective solution for things like that, IMO. Works on dog skin too. |
I had a rather significant allergic reaction today when I placed my arm around a large bamboo in Selby Gardens, Sarasota, Fla. I had blisters like poison ivy on my right arm(where I touched) and red itchy spots on my left arm. I am a bit allergic to wood and very much to bee stings. I was rather surprised |
- Posted by fisherm456 Pittsburgh (My Page) on Tue, Oct 9, 12 at 18:47
I just trimmed my bamboo for the first time and after removing trimmings my arms began to itch like crazy; no bumps though. I applied some Benadryl topical ointment after washing my arms and this took away the itch. I also discovered that my lab likes to scratch herself beneath the bamboo along the stalks, when I pet her or she rubs against my leg I was wondering why I started to itch...bamboo fibers! Long shirts and keeping my pets away from the bamboo will need to be new protocols. |
- Posted by fisherm456 Pa (My Page) on Tue, Apr 22, 14 at 14:32
Trimmed bamboo last week. Wore long shirts and pants, gloves. I broke out on arms and around face and neck. I must really be sensitive to bamboo as this happened last year but less severely. I've decided to remove the clumping bamboo plants from my garden as I can't deal with this every year. |

Minnie's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Minnie was surrendered to a local animal shelter by her elderly owner who could no longer care for her which is very sad because Minnie is elderly herself although she is very healthy and full of life. She holds her beautiful head up high and prances around like a little princess. She plays with two other small dogs in her foster home and they all cuddle up together in a crate and sleep, so sweet. She gets along very well with dogs and cats alike. Minnie has many years of life ahead of her and is now searching for her forever home, a home where she will be cherished and provided for as she moves on with the rest of her life.
Other Pets at For Pete's Sake Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Minnie, a Sherman Pekingese dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Pekingese for sale in Sherman, or seeking a Pekingese dog from a breeder in Sherman.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Sherman already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Sherman breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Pekingese breeders who help with Pekingese rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Sherman paves the way for another one to be saved.

Waggle dance controversy resolved by radar records of bee flight paths
11 May 2005
A paper published in Nature on May 12th (1) provides new data that resolves a long-standing scientific controversy. In the 1960s, Nobel Prize winning zoologist, Karl von Frisch, proposed that honeybees use dance (the"waggle dance") as a coded message to guide other bees to new food sources. However, some scientists did not accept von Frisch's theory. Using harmonic radar, scientists, funded in part by the UK's Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) have now tracked the flight of bees that had attended a "waggle dance" and found that they flew straight to the vicinity of the feeding site, as predicted by von Frisch. The tracks allowed the scientists to determine how accurately bees translate the dance code into successful navigation, and showed that they correct for wind drift even when en route to destinations they have never visited before.
If a honeybee worker discovers a good feeding site it is believed that she informs her nest mates through a dance that describes the distance and direction of the feeding site. This 'dance language' was first described by Karl von Frisch in the 1960s but his experiments also showed that bees that had attended the dance (recruits) took far longer to get to food than would be expected. This time delay caused other scientists to argue that the recruits did not read the abstract code in the dance at all, but found the food source simply by tracking down the smell that they had picked up from the dancing bee. Another suggestion was that recruits simply followed the dancer when she flew back to the food, and then other bees joined in. The controversy has persisted because prior to the advent of harmonic radar, no one could show exactly where the recruits flew when they left their hives.
The scientists watched the waggle dance occurring in a glass observation hive and identified recruits. They captured these recruits as they left the hive, attached a radar transponder to them and then tracked their flight paths using harmonic radar. Most recruited bees undertook a flight path that took them straight to the vicinity of the feeding site where they all spent a lot of time in searching flights, trying to locate its exact position. This searching behaviour accounts for the time lag that caused the original controversy.
In another set of experiments, bee recruits leaving the hive were taken to release sites up to 250m away. These bees flew, not to the feeding site, but in the direction that would have taken them to the feeding site had they not been displaced from the hive. This result adds weight to von Frisch's original theory and allows alternative hypotheses about bee behaviour to be firmly discounted.ENDS

i've had my pool for 2 years and have been maintaining it myself since the beginning of this summer. i'm wondering as we get into colder temps do i need to shock? can i cut down on the chlorine? the pool is open all winter, is there a water temp to gauge when i can not expect algae to grow? |
Follow-Up Postings:
If it is gunite definitely don't shock it! Someone I know did and it left white spots on the grey plaster bottom. |
Cold temps only reduce the chlorine demand. Below 55 degrees, salt cells stop producing. Many people use Clorox to augment the free chlorine level. Filter cycles may be shortened except in freeze protect modes. Please remember, algae is only one of the many badies that can invade a pool. Keeping the FC, pH, Alk, and CH are still important. Using powdered chlorine may add undesirables such as extra CYA or calcium and tend to be slow to dissolve. Using bleach adds only a little salt and has no solubility issues. Scott |

'3rd Strike' will always be a timely reminder as to why it's creators are the undisputed kings of hard trance and it looks set for another run at the top thanks to the release of this remix as Costa Pantazis steps up for the rework; effortlessly laying down hooky riffs, emotive breakdowns, heavy industrial elements and quality production techniques that guarantee s for a massive peak-time dancefloor response. Wicked hard trance once again from the Metamorph stable!

Primary Contacts | Emergency Priest Contact | Funerals | Communion of the Sick | Office Hours
What about moral issues like divorce or abortion? What is your liturgy experience like? How many Sacraments do you honor? So, if I attend and I am used to the Roman Catholic Mass...what differences will I notice? Is Saint Miriam Right For ME?
What is the Old Catholic Church? Is it Independent Catholicism? Is there more than one Catholic Church?
Our parish of Saint Miriam and our worldwide Church is a part of the greater Old Catholic Church that split from the control Rome at the declaration of the pope being made infallible in the 1870's after Vatican I. Additional information can be found by clicking here.
There is only one "Roman" Catholic Church. However there are a fair number of Catholic "denominations," of which the Roman Catholic Church is only one and is the world's largest. Actually there is really no such thing as "Roman" Catholic, but rather they are Latin Rite Catholic Churches who are fully in communion with the Bishop of Rome (The Holy Father, The Pope).
Our greater Church is often considered an 'independent' Catholic denomination of its own only because it is not controlled by the Bishop of Rome. That is, we are independent of the jurisdiction of Rome. We are NOT under either the control or the government of the Church of Rome commonly called the "Roman Catholic Church." We are a worldwide church offering an alternative Catholic worship experience to all humanity. Come and experience us first hand to gain a full appreciation of our church and history.
Yes! Saint Miriam is fully accessible in all venues, including our Chancel (altar area), Sanctuary, Sacristy, Restrooms, and Fellowship spaces.
The Pope is the head of the Roman Catholic Church. Who runs these independent denominations? A Bishop runs each denomination. The Pope is a Bishop. The word "bishop" comes from the Greek word meaning "Overseer." The Pope has been elected by his fellow bishops to head the Roman Catholic Church.
Generally, the bishop of an Independent Catholic Church is elected by a synod, or governing council of bishops, to be the Patriarch, or Presiding Bishop. Sometimes we call this bishop, The Archbishop, the Prime Bishop, or leader of the denomination with a variety of titles.
Do the Priests and Bishops associated with Saint Miriam have valid Apostolic Succession? Yes, our lines of Apostolic Succession are valid. In fact, even the Roman Church says they are valid and sufficient. In fact, we share many of these lines.
May I receive Holy Communion? As we state at Catholic Mass:
"You are welcome in God's house . . . you are welcome to share the feast. The most blessed Body and Blood of Christ is not a reward for being good. It is a source of strength, comfort, and food for the journey. No one on this earth has the right to refuse it to anyone."
Our Church practices what we call Open Communion whereby we hold that a chief purpose of our community is to perpetuate the historical sacramental tradition as instituted by Jesus Christ and as preserved through apostolic succession. We maintain that the sacraments are channels of divine grace, and therefore; we make the sacraments easily available so all can experience spiritual healing.
Since the Eucharist puts us in communion with the Christ, it is a channel of Grace without parallel. Therefore, at our altars, all persons are welcome to receive communion, whether members of our community or not. What about moral issues? What about women as priests, married priests, gay and lesbians, celibacy, birth control, abortion, and divorce?
What should I expect when I visit? What should I wear? At Saint Miriam, we feel that it's our responsibility to make everyone feel comfortable enough to attend church. We want you to be able to experience the great music, encouraging messages, friendly people, and an enjoyable atmosphere.
Dress Code: We're more concerned with meeting your real life needs than with what you wear. So, dress casually, wear a suit and tie, or simply throw on some shorts. Whatever you wear is fine, and you'll fit right in.
Music: At our Worship , you'll enjoy upbeat music and practical messages that help you deal with real life issues. We'll even give you a helpful outline with the Bible passages. What you learn on Sunday at Saint Miriam, you'll be able to use during the week. We want to help you connect with the personal hope and practical help that God can give us. Our worship experience combines a variety of sights, sounds, and smells to help enrich your worship and enliven your spiritual life. We combine the old world sacramental worship experience with a new vibrant, modern edge.
Why don't you take a collection? What about money? We want you to feel welcome as our guest with no pressure to give. That is why we don't pass an offering basket. Our regular members place their contributions in offering boxes near the entrance and exit to the worship space or mail their tax deductible contributions directly to our parish offices.
What about moral issues? What about women as priests, married priests, gay and lesbians, celibacy, birth control, abortion, and divorce? Each Catholic denomination establishes a Code of Canon Law, and their theological stand on the aforementioned issues. As previously stated, the various denominations move from very conservative to very liberal. At Saint Miriam, we feel that each individual is loved and created by God. Therefore, we welcome all to our community.
Our church also ordains women to its priesthood and as bishops. Our priests can be married, gay, or lesbian, and celibacy is optional. We encourage people to make their own informed decisions about birth control, abortion, and other moral issues. We maintain that all life is sacred. And, we have positions on all issues, but we walk with each individual where they are and support them in life. Please see a priest for greater detail and instruction.
We do maintain a strict adherence of protection against sexual abuse or harassment in any form. Our clergy are to be respected and enjoyed as a valued member of their respective communities, but they also must respect the inherent dignity of each person by acknowledging their power as such. Therefore, sexual misconduct is taken very seriously. We are here to assist but will never condemn or exclude no matter what station in life you are or what dilemma you face.
What We Believe
<< Back to Questions
What is your Liturgy like to experience?
The best way to understand Catholic liturgy is not through the abstract discussion, but rather through concrete contact with actual ritual, that is what our church tradition does best: putting people in touch with the Mystery of God through sacramental celebration of life and hope!
Our Catholic liturgy will seem very familiar with an added element or two of surprise and meditation! And, the ideal for our liturgy is also very simple: the focus should be on the Eucharist, but be INCLUSIVE and INVITING for all who attend. Also, the elements of Bread and Wine should be pure, simple, and inviting to all of our senses.
The simple nature of our worship space is to allow for our focus to be on the center of our worship and to not detract. And, the warmth of our space comes from one place: YOU! Therefore, when our community gathers, the space becomes alive and we focus on our corporate worship and community - together.
Our Altar Table and Processional Cross are designed in the very-recognized style of renowned artist Alberto Giacometti (click here to visit) by artist and blacksmith, Edward Worthington (click here to visit). The hammered iron rods and scarred table allows us to visualize how, despite our wounds and imperfections, we are still beautiful and serve God's good use! Our gospel procession allows all to participate and to realize that we are all part of the plan and made and created to honor God and serve to make our world a better place!
So, come, taste, smell, and see how God is at work in our daily life, work, death, and community - see the Risen Lord every time you meet someone at Saint Miriam!
Are the Sacraments the same as in other Catholic Church traditions? Simply put: Exactly the same! We continue to honor the historic and traditional 7 Sacraments as a vital means of experiencing the Presence of God: Sacraments of Initiation: Baptism and Confirmation, Eucharist Sacraments of Reconciliation and Healing: Penance, Anointing of the Sick Sacraments of Adult Vocation: Marriage and Holy Orders (Deacon, Priest, Bishop)
So, if I attend and I am used to the Roman Catholic Mass…what differences will I notice? Well, very few to be honest! The main differences are three:
Other than that, you should feel right at home at Saint Miriam!
Is Saint Miriam Right For ME? So, how do you know if we are even the right fit for you before stopping by for a visit? Well, take a look at the Saint Miriam Covenant. You can download a copy here or by clicking in the box above, left side of your screen. You see, we take seriously the foundation of our life together as parish community, and that foundation is found in this covenant.
A covenant is simply a promise to live in a certain way. At Saint Miriam there are twelve promises, just like the number of apostles (well, if you don't count Judas!). But, just like Jesus summed up the Ten Commandments with these two, (1) love God with all your heart and, (2) love your neighbor as yourself. We, too, can summarize these twelve into just two (1) welcome everyone; no matter what they have ever done, or who they are, or what denomination they came from, or how they act, or anything in their past or present, and (2) love those you worship with; care for each other and the world, and care for your parish. In essence just be yourself, show up to services each week, give what you can financially to help us stay around, hate no one, speak no gossip or rumors, and live a life congruent with being a true Christian.
We believe that we are all stewards. That is, we are given certain things in this life by God – our lives, our families, our jobs, our friends, and our church – and we must care for them and ensure that they are there for others when we are gone. So, we are not owners, just stewards, charged with the job to care for them and one another. So, after all of that, if you are tired of hatred and don't care about the denominational boundaries of human invention. If you want to worship God and not have your sins pointed out to you every week without compassion. If you want to be challenged to help you grow. If you want to enjoy a place that cares for you, your family, and your life. If you simply want to find a church that you can call and feel like it is home. Then, come. You'll love what we feel like and you'll love the people that feel just like you!
Service Times: Rosary and Mid-Week Service,Thursdays at 6:00 p.m. Sunday Mass, 9:00am, 10:30am, and 5:00pm Special Masses, Holy Days of Obligation on Holidays, See Our Schedule Under Worship.

sweet potato
sweet potato
Food plant (Ipomoea batatas; family Convolvulaceae) native to tropical America and widely cultivated in tropical and warm temperate climates. Botanically unrelated to the white, or Irish, potato or the yam, sweet potatoes are oblong or pointed oval, tuberous roots. Skin colour ranges from light buff to brown to purplish red; the pulp may be white (highest in starch) to orange (also high in carotene) to purple. Long, trailing plant stems bear funnel-shaped flowers tinged with pink or rose violet. Sweet potatoes are served baked or mashed and used as pie filling.

HTC is continuously adding phones and tablets to its official bootloader unlock page, and a couple of new devices have made their way into the now-unlockable arena. The EVO View 4G is one such device, as it now joins its Wi-Fi only brother, the Flyer, in the world of open bootloaders. Also joining the mix is the T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide, the first device from the myTouch family to make its way onto the portal.
Looks like HTC jumped a new member into the unlockable bootloader gang this morning: the EVO Design 4G. The Design now joins the ranks of the Sensation, EVO 3D, and Flyer in the realm of unlocked bootloader-dom, along with another recent newcomer to the scene, the Amaze 4G on T-Mobile.
As always, the process will void your warranty, but if an unlocked bootloader is what you're after, then this is the place to get it done.
It looks like HTC may be finally getting into the timely-source-code-release game, as it just pushed the code for a boatload of new devices to its developer portal.
Among the many devices, you'll find the Rezound and Rhyme on Verizon, all variants of the Sensation, the 10.1-inch Jetstream tablet, and the Amaze 4G on T-Mobile, just to name a few.
For the full list of available code (including downloads), head over to the download section at HTCdev.com.
The HTC bootloader unlock portal has been updated yet again, this time bringing the company's first tablet, the Flyer, to the mix. It appears that basically all versions that carry the Flyer name are supported, so if an unlock for the View 4G is what you're after, you'll have to keep playing the waiting game for a while longer.
Like with previous devices that made their way to the portal, the process seems simple and intuitive -- but keep in mind that it effectively voids your warranty if you choose to use this "legit" method.
So, if you're ready to see what all the fuss is about, head over to HTCdev to get started.
HTC has been steadily making good on its promise to unlock the bootloader of its more recent models -- first came the EU Sensation, followed by the EVO 3D. Continuing along this same path, today HTC updated the unlock portal on HTCdev.com to include the T-Mobile variant of the Sensation.
Keep in mind that if you plan on making use of this process that it will likely void your warranty, so tread with caution.
The HTC dev site, HTCDev.com, announced in early June, opened its doors a few minutes ago to welcome developers from all over the globe into the wonderful world of what HTC is calling OpenSense. OpenSense is a collection of APIs, which currently includes Stereoscopic 3D, Pen, and Common Controls. Developers can download the OpenSense SDK, and view sample code together with handy API docs.
In addition to the OpenSense framework, HTCDev.com is also a new home for all HTC kernel source and ROM update downloads, various FAQs, and, probably the most interesting bit - the Bootloader Unlock tool (coming soon).
In another step toward becoming one of the most dev-friendly Android manufacturers, HTC today launched HTCdev.com, a website "dedicated to providing you with the tools, advice, and community you need to pursue the possibilities."
The vast majority of the site's content has to do with the OpenSense SDK, which should be launching... sometime in the future (though you can sign up for emails about it now). HTC doesn't go into details about what it does, stating only that it will allow developers to write applications better integrated into Sense UI.

Portland Hospitals
0Feb 21, '11 by bellaweezHey everyone,
I have been an ER traveling nurse for about 5yrs now and am looking to take
a staff position in Portland OR area for a while. Can anyone recommend
a hospital that they liked working at or have heard good things about? Any
information would help. Thanks
1Mar 11, '11 by portland medicHi. Been a paramedic in the portland area for 11 years now and taking my nursing prerecs. Never worked at a hospital but I routinely go to all of them.
OHSU is the big teaching / trauma / pediatric / specialty hospital as well as the local university for all things medical. Emanuel also has level 1 trauma and pediatrics ICU as well as the state burn center and St. Vincents is a very good cardiac hospital. Providence portland does the hyperbaric treatment and has a pediatric mental health center. Kaiser sunnyside doesn't have any tertiary care but seems to be a good place to work as far as wages / benefits / schedule. Portlance Adventist is the local SDA hospital but is also non-tertiary. Southwest Washington Medical Center 20 minutes away in Vancouver does a bit of everything very well but is not a level 1. A handful of other smaller hospitals that all seem to be fine places to work as far as I can tell.
Having seen all the hospitals in their finest hours, the hospital I've been most impressed with is Emanuel, as they are very aggressive with critical patients, but OHSU is also a great hospital.lindarn likes this.
