Stayed here on a hogmanay special. Mike and his team were extremely helpful, pleasant and professional. Staff always had a smile each time you met them. As for the food, well only thing I can say is Exceptional in every way....thx to all.
Stayed here with a coach party for 4 nights The best thing about the Balmoral Hotel is the food which is excellent plenty of choice and generous portions. The hotel is in need of a facelift, the rooms are comfortable but could do with redecorating. The staff are very friendly and helpful.
We stayed for three nights B&B & evening meal.
What a delight to meet the staff & Michael who are a wonderful team.
The food was excellent, with nothing to much trouble for them.
It's so good I've booked for another short Tinsel & Turkey break in November, we only came back last week.....so I think that says it all
Nothing is too much trouble for the staff. The food is always absolutely superb and the atmosphere is lovely.
Excellent service, the food is fantastic real home cooking cooked perfectly to your liking, cannot fault anything about the food. Wine is also very well priced with a nice selection. Staff and chef(/owner?) are really polite and friendly. We've been going there for years and its truly the best meal in Brid, huge portions and silver service aswell which is...
I have been to the Balmoral a couple of times over the years but went in a very large party and it was poor. Very basic 1970s style menu. My fish was burnt and greasy. Many of us ended up leaving the meal it was so poor.
We have eaten here many times, both in the restaurant and as a venue for functions and every time the food and the service has been excellent. Keep up the good work, Mike.
My family went to this restaurant for my Mum's birthday - they had been many times before but it was my first time. I was very pleasantly surprised by the food here. The outisde of the hotel doesn't look amazing and you go down some steps to get into the restaurant which isn't that obvious. Once you are in the...
The Balmoral Restuarant situated underneath the hotel on the sea front provides excellent home cooked food. Service is always of a high standard with a variety of food available. Small drinks area to have a pre dinner drink or coffe afterwards.
We have had many excellent meals at the Balmoral, so booked to celebrate two birthdays, two days apart.
What a huge disapointment when our booking had somehow not been transferred into the diary.
Thankfully fot them we will be back as the food is fantastic.

Biodegradable balloons reduce radiation risk.
(photo credit:BioProtect )
Natassia Gerrard writes for NoCamels.One of the major concerns during treatments involving radiation therapy in cancer patients is that radiations destroy healthy cells along with the diseased cells. High doses of radiation often damage healthy organs, which can lead to further complications.An Israeli startup called BioProtect has found a way to make radiation therapy safer: It developed small biodegradable balloons that isolate the tumor from healthy tissues.Prostate cancer is the first cancer that BioProtect was able to isolate with its balloons, called ProSpace. According to the company, radiation in the case of prostate cancer creates many complications, such as bleeding, because of the proximity of the rectum.BioProtectrepresentatives say recent trials have shown that their balloons can significantly reduce the amount of radiation that reaches the rectal wall.The BioProtect balloon can also allow higher radiation doses that would have otherwise been too dangerous.Inserting the ProSpace balloon requires a minimally invasive procedure, according to its developers.The balloons are made from biodegradable polymers, which dissolve in the body within six months, meaning that there is no need for surgery to remove them.The balloon is inserted as a folded cylinder, which is inflated with a solution of sterile saline once placed between the prostate and the rectum. Implanting the balloon in this location creates a "safe gap" of 15-20mm between the tumor and healthy tissues.Minimizing health complications The American Cancer Institute approximates that one in eight deaths around the world is caused by cancer, and around 12 million new cases of cancer are diagnosed annually worldwide.These statistics are expected to increase in future years due to increased life expectancy, aging populations and technological progression leading to more sophisticated screening techniques and early cancer detection.Currently, the three main methods of treating cancer are radiation therapy, chemotherapy and surgery, all of which can be used as stand-alone treatment or in combination, depending on the type of cancer being treated. The National Cancer Institute says that radiation therapy is administered to 50 percent of cancer sufferers in the United States.BioProtect has completed its pre-clinical studies and recently completed a multicenter pivotal study for the European market that included participant centers in the United States, Germany, Italy and Israel.The pre-clinical trials showed positive results, with 24 patients with median follow-up of 6 months having an average of 90 percent reduction in radiation of the prostate prescribed dose and significant reduction in any important radiation parameters at the rectum.BioProtectProSpace received the CE Mark in 2010 and the company consequently began marketing the product in Europe. However, the product is still not available for the US market and awaits further clinical investigation.BioProtect says it plans to expand the use of the ProSpace balloons to other types of cancers such as colon and breast cancer.NoCamels - Israeli Innovation NewsFollow @JPost_Lifestyle

Providing New Hope to Patients with Metastatic Liver Tumors
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with colorectal cancer that has spread (metastasized) to the liver, it is important to learn the facts and evaluate treatment options. A diagnosis of colorectal liver metastases can be overwhelming, but there is hope.
SIR-Spheres® microspheres treatment is a targeted radiation therapy that selectively delivers a dose of internal radiation to liver tumors. Due to the liver tumor's unique blood supply, millions of tiny spheres are delivered directly to the tumors while sparing healthy liver tissue. The treatment is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure and is administered via a small flexible tube (microcatheter) into the liver.

Auscar dressed up in a butlers type top, and acted as butler for the evening which gave the evening a very formal feel. I snuck off to bed at 1.30am, but it was reported that Freddy left at 3.30am, and was pulled over by the police. Luckily, his name gets home out of any trouble. The next day at work I was exhausted!

A massive manufacturing technology convergence is in its early stages at this very moment. Exponentially expanding computing power, artificial intelligence, robotics and advanced sensing technology will change the way we make everything.
Since prehistory, we've been working at finding new ways to make things. We started out, over a million years ago, chipping away at lumps of flint or obsidian in order to make axes, knives or arrowheads. Obsidian was so important that some of the oldest trade routes sprang up around it, and it might even have been the earliest form of money.
We've since learned to work with all kinds of other materials. A tribesman 50,000 years ago may have banged a stone against a piece of flint to make a knife. Today, we might use a computer-controlled blanking press to punch a knife out of a sheet of steel and a drill and a grinder to put holes in the tang and an edge on the blade. However, the basic way we fashion things hasn't changed that much.
I still remember my first job as a teen, building medical device components in a machine shop. We often worked metals like platinum and gold — and carefully swept up the precious leftover chips after a job was completed. We still transform most of the things we make much as we did during the Stone Age: by removing stuff from a piece of material in order to create the physical shape we desire.
Despite the manufacturing advances of the Industrial Revolution, the way we make things is largely the subtractive process it has always been. We still saw, mill and grind. Then we take the shaped bits and assemble them with glues, screws, welds and rivets. A pharaoh's armorer or goldsmith could walk into a modern knife factory and be bewildered by the machines operating there — but the basic physical procedures used to create useful objects are essentially the same.
That's changing fast, due to an emerging technology called 3-D printing.
The Z-Axis Transformation
Unlike subtractive manufacturing processes, 3-D printing is additive. It doesn't make things by taking something big and making something smaller out of it. It takes something small — a thin layer of plastic, metal or even human cells — and, by adding successive layers, builds something larger out of it.
The basic 3-D printing concept is similar to that used by the 2-D printer you probably have next to your computer. Your printer deposits a thin layer of colored material on a page, with a precision of several hundred ink dots per inch. The pattern, whether text or picture, is described by a digital file you generate with your computer, which tells the printer precisely where on x- and y-axes to place the dots of ink.
3-D printing takes that idea and extends it in an additional axis — the z-axis. By printing layer upon layer of material, a 3-D object can be constructed. The result? We can produce complex shapes undreamed of using traditional tools.
Like a traditional 2-D printer, complexity doesn't matter when it comes to 3-D printing. Your printer doesn't care if it is printing a single solid color on a page or a copy of an artistic masterpiece. In the end, all it prints is a pattern of dots on a page described in a digital file. A 3-D printer essentially takes this one step further. It places many "pages" on top of each other to build a 3-D shape. The additional complexity comes at little or no additional cost.
Furthermore, there is little or no waste. Unlike a subtractive process, which removes material, which must then be discarded or recycled, the only material used is what is needed to build an object.
3-D Printing's Promise Becomes Reality
The technology is already transforming how we make things. 3-D-printed components are now making their way into everything from aircraft to rocket ships. General Electric, for example, recently purchased a small 3-D printing company to produce jet engine parts. NASA, on the other hand, is using 3-D printing to manufacture metal components for rocket engines where traditional manufacturing techniques don't work.
According to Ken Cooper, advanced manufacturing team lead at NASA's Marshall Center:
Basically, this machine takes metal powder and uses a high-energy laser to melt it in a designed pattern. The laser will layer the melted dust to fuse whatever part we need from the ground up, creating intricate designs. The process produces parts with complex geometries and precise mechanical properties from a 3-D computer-aided design.
In addition, the process NASA is using reduces the manufacturing time by orders of magnitude, reduces cost and creates a stronger product.
3-D printing technology is even moving into the field of biotechnology. Innovators are developing bioprinters that can print cells like a common printer does with ink. The cells can be precisely placed to mimic the structure of a human organ.
The technology is currently beginning to see use in drug discovery and development. Unlike a cell culture, something that mimics the structure of an organ is likely to be a better test subject for a new compound. With sufficient refinement, this technology in the future could even be used to print entire organs, which would put an end to organ transplant waiting lists.
However, while this technology is still in the future, 3-D printing is making a dent in the biomedical field right now in other ways. It is, for example, replacing traditional methods for manufacturing dental implants. With a 3-D printer, you could have a new custom crown made while you wait at the dentist's office. Recently, a 3-D printing company received FDA approval for printed bone replacement implants. One patient had 75% of his skull replaced with a 3-D printed prosthetic. The technology is also being used for joint replacements.
3-D printing introduces an element of flexibility to the way we make stuff. Typical mass production techniques require a heavy investment in tooling, but the flexibility to change the end product isn't always there. With 3-D printing, all that needs to be changed is a digital file using computer-aided design software. That kind of flexibility is proving to be a huge boon to engineers, who can design a prototype on a computer and rapidly print out a copy.
This flexibility means that truly customized things are becoming a reality. 3-D printing allows anyone with a computer and an Internet connection to design, manufacture and distribute a product, without the need for an expensive factory. Websites have popped up that allow customers to transmit a 3-D design file, which can then be printed for a fee. Users are making everything from custom smartphone cases to jewelry — and with consumer-level printers, they can now begin to do some of it at home.
But manufacturing might not be the only thing 3-D printing disrupts…
Tune in tomorrow to discover how this technology could transform society itself.

As uncertain as things have traditionally been for the Lightning between the pipes, the defenseman position may be even more unsettled at this point in the offseason. After cheating father time for much of the 2011-2012 season, age caught up to many of the Lightning's veteran defensemen in 2012-2013. Mattias Ohlund may never play another NHL game after the 35 year old's knee finally gave out after over 900 games of NHL service.

No. 14 Cornell Big Red 1 vs. No. 9 Ferris State Bulldogs 2
NCAA Midwest Regional Final
D/W Kirill Gotovets, COR: 0-1-1, +1, 0 PIM, 0 SOG
Season totals: 24 GP, 1-7-8, +13, 12 PIM
Ferris State senior Jordie Johnson (undrafted) scored in the seventh minute of the third period to break a 1-1 tie and propel the Bulldogs to their first Frozen Four. Gotovets had the only assist on Cornell's lone goal. He finishes the year with eight point in 24 games. More will be expected of the Belarusian next year as an upperclassman. Gotovets may not be completely done for the season as he could suit up for Belarus in the World Championships later this spring as he's done the last two years.
No. 4 North Dakota Fighting Sioux 3 vs. No. 12 Western Michigan Broncos 1
NCAA West Regional Semifinal
D Luke Witkowski, WMU: 0-0-0, -2, 2 PIM (hitting after the whistle), 1 SOG
Season totals: 40 GP, 2-11-13, +8, 66 PIM
WMU's postseason run came to an end Saturday afternoon, falling 3-1 to top-seeded North Dakota. The Broncos scored to make the game 2-1 and appeared to get the tying goal, but it was ruled no-goal. The puck appeared to bounce in off a net-crashing forward while a Sioux player was sliding into the post and knocking the net off. It was ruled no goal and UND added an empty net goal late to give the game its final score. Witkowki and NCAA free agent partner Dan DeKeyser were on the ice in the last minute trying to get the game tied. Witkowski appeared to hesitate when deciding to pinch in at the blueline to keep the puck in, and when he finally did he was a little too late and lost a one-on-one battle along the wall. The UND player got around him and scored into an empty net. It's a tough play for the junior alternate captain, who has been fantastic all year on the back end. It was reported this week that he will return to school for his senior season. He has a good chance to be named captain. Witkowski set a career high for points in a season and could breakout on offense next year. DeKeyser had an assist in the game and was strong throughout. There have been mixed signals as to whether the sophomore will leave school and turn pro. The Lightning are one of a few teams thought to be leaders for him. Detroit and Toronto are the others.
Note: With Gotovets and Witkowski seeing their seasons end on Saturday, it means no Lightning prospect will be playing in the Frozen Four taking place in Tampa. Brendan O'Donnell's Fighting Sioux could still make it, but O'Donnell is out for the season due to injury. A final review of Lightning NCAA prospects will be posted in the coming days.

The caseload at the Becker County's Veterans Service Office is up -- way up. According to Veterans Service Officer Lauri Brooke, the caseload is up about 30 percent this year -- and it's not just new veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan either. "We're seeing a lot of veterans from World War II, Korea, Vietnam ... veterans who have never been in our office before," she said.

Since 1987, Mike Summers has been teaching tae kwon do to students in the Detroit Lakes area. In fact, he's been teaching the Korean martial art of tae kwon do since it was still known as karate. "There weren't a lot of peo-ple in it (martial arts) when I started," he says. "Now, just about every town has a tae kwon do school... it's become an Olympic sport. "In junior high, there were about 10 of us that started taking it together, and I stayed with it," he says.
"Jesus Christ Superstar," the groundbreaking theatrical masterpiece by legendary writing team Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, is coming to the Fargodome on Wednesday, May 30, for a 7:30 p.m. show. The cast of this production may include some familiar names for some: Internationally beloved star Ted Neeley, best known for his Golden Globe-nominated depiction of Jesus in the Norman Jewison film version of "Jesus Christ Superstar," is reprising his most renowned role for this tour. Also headlining the 2006-07 tour of JCS is Corey Glover as Judas.
A couple of months after a Becker County committee charged with mapping out a 70-mile trail for all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and dirt bikes got bogged down in controversy, the Becker County Board has opted to take a new approach. The board voted Tuesday in favor of a proposal by Natural Resources Management administrator Mark "Chip" Lohmeier to establish a new Comprehensive Off-Highway Vehicle Policy Committee. Lohmeier's proposal for the makeup of the new committee included a membership that was as balanced as possible, with representatives from various organizations and interests includin
The 10,000 Lakes Festival held annually at the Soo Pass Ranch in Detroit Lakes, is a celebration of musical creativity that features a wide range of genres, from blues and jazz to rock and reggae.

For 36 years -- more than half his life -- Frederick Floan has been teaching students at Rossman Elementary School in Detroit Lakes, day in and day out, September through May. This Thursday, May 24, will be his last day in the classroom -- as a full-time instructor, at least. Floan, a third-generation Detroit Lakes native, is retiring after a teaching and coaching career that spanned three and a half decades, and included more than 950 students and an untold number of young athletes. During his career, Floan has taught fourth grade (12 years), sixth grade (14 years), and most recently, f
Remember that first year of high school? For many, the experience is a confusing one. In fact, surveys have shown less than half of all incoming freshmen have any feeling of connection to their new school. "There is research out there showing that kids are having difficultly transitioning to high school," said Detroit Lakes School Superintendent Lowell Niklaus.
For the past five years, the employees of Detroit Lakes Public Schools have enjoyed a group health insurance plan where year-to-year premium increases "beat the trend" for projected increases statewide, according to District Business Manager Ted Heisserer. Not this year.
Blood. It's an essential component of any hospital's operations, because like the air we breathe, it's something no human being can live without. St. Mary's Regional Health Center is not exempted from this need. But unlike many of its counterparts in other communities, the Detroit Lakes hospital gets its blood from local sources -- specifically, its own blood bank. Though the St.

Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy at a Silver Electrode as a Real-Time Detector in Flowing Streams
Volume 46, Number 1 (Jan. 1992) Page 147-151
Pothier, Neil J.; Forcé, R. Ken
An analytical application for Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy at a silver electrode is described. Real-time SER spectra of adenine and cytosine have been recorded in a 10-μL spectroelectrochemical flow cell under flowing conditions. Charge-coupled-device detection allowed high-quality spectra spanning a ~1200 cm−1 region to be recorded with integration times of 4 seconds. A low-power He.Ne laser was used as a source. SERS at the silver electrode offers rapid time response to adsorption/desorption by appropriate potential modulation. The technique is extremely reproducible and insensitive to temperature and flow rate. The effects of incident photon energy and applied potential on the intensity of the Raman signal are discussed.
