Quark: Down, But Not Out
Quark recently announced the availability of Quark Publishing System 9.1, the new version of Quark's dynamic publishing platform for automated publishing to print, Web, e-reader, mobile, and tablet devices.
Doc is on a mission to help rid your organization of every last trace of document management ignorance and make sure that the future of the digital office finds a home in your business.

ZDNet introduces Doc (The DocuMentor), sponsored by RICOH. Through his blog, Doc will educate you about Document Management. So who is Doc? Doc is something of an enigma. He was born to a Russian ballerina and a German electrical engineer who some believe was running covert operations for shadowy corporate interests. Doc grew up in various locations in the United States, although no one seems to know precisely where, least of all Doc. His early schooling was unremarkable except for the time he was caught trying to replace all the mimeograph machines with high-tech color copiers that had mysteriously disappeared from a shipment to Albania. At MIT, he made a name for himself by transforming a large printer into a robot that hunts and eats Roombas. Professionally, he reportedly has seen the insides of more brands, versions, and generations of printer and printer-related hardware than almost anyone. Some say his obsession with paper, printing, and mechanical movement was either started by, or evidenced by, a traumatic childhood episode when he crawled inside an old Xerox 2400 and tried to print himself.

Anyway, Doc has hands on experience with stuff like printer maintenance and fleet management, but his mastery of document management leaves no stone unturned. Important issues like sustainability, security, and regulatory compliance are top of mind for Doc, as are other business technology needs like networking and IT services, making him a true blue IT renaissance man.

A new program will allow all physical bookstores, from the largest to the smallest, to promote and sell the HarperCollins backlist through in-store "Digital-to-Print at Retail" (DPR) using the Espresso Book Machine (EBM). The goal of this initiative is to give the local bookseller the capability to provide customers with a greater selection of HarperCollins titles in a physical environment.

The concept of a digital mailbox or digital mail delivery is certainly not new. In the enterprise, vendors like Esker, Océ, and Pitney Bowes offer digital mail delivery solutions whereby each piece of mail that comes into the company is scanned and delivered electronically to employee recipients.
When do two seemingly similar-sounding service offerings present completely different business models? When comparing Managed Print Services to Print Management Services. These sound the same, and in a certain situations can be used interchangeably, however the industry definitions are quite distinct and different.
Companies have yet to fully capitalize on the productivity potential of technology.
One of Doc's favorite events, the Gilbane Conference, is being held in Boston on Nov 30th - December 1st. The Gilbane Conference is all about helping organizations apply content, web, and mobile technologies to communicate with their ecosystem of customers, employees, suppliers, partners, and the rest of the world in the most effective and efficient way possible.
Transforming from a printing company printer into a marketing service provider certainly may require a lot of internal work. But once those steps have been completed, a crucial step in the process is to let the world know about the new services that you can offer.
Apple is offering a new "reuse" option to its recycling program. The company will pay users a reasonable price for usable technology that they no longer want themselves.
It's no secret that marketing departments are savvy when it comes to direct mail. It's a channel they've traditionally owned. However, when it comes to bills, statements, policies and other production print output, many marketers find it more difficult to navigate the terrain (if they even consider stepping onto it in the first place.)

NUI Galway Researchers Focus on Mobile Healthcare
Monday, 26 November 2007
Increased demand for Electronic Engineering Graduates Expected Researchers from NUI Galway are part of a national group awarded just under €4m by Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) for the development of mobile healthcare technology. The group will develop technology to assist clinicians with more effective remote monitoring of out-patients in their own homes. Drivers for the technology include an ageing population, increasing pressure on centralised healthcare facilities and the need to reduce the number of in-patients. Many such applications involve the generation and analysis of large quantities of biological signals for each patient, driving the need for sophisticated electronic signal processing techniques. A key focus of the research will be efficient operation for longer life in mobile devices. The research group, entitled "Efficient Embedded Digital Signal Processing for Mobile Digital Health" (EEDSP), is led by University College Cork, and in addition to NUI Galway, includes academic researchers from University of Limerick and University College Dublin, as well as a number of industry partners. According to Dr. Edward Jones, Lecturer in Electronic Engineering and leader of the NUI Galway team, "This grant from SFI will help the EEDSP group to advance the state of the art in this area of increasing importance to society. At the same time, a steady supply of graduates will be required to meet the needs of the rapidly growing digital healthcare industry. Dr. Jones added, "Electronic Engineering offers a tremendous range of possible careers over a wide range of sectors that are critical to society. Some of these might not immediately spring to mind to leaving cert students, including this relatively new and rapidly growing area of digital and mobile healthcare". NUI Galway is holding its annual Open Day on Thursday, 29 November, and those interested in electronics as a career should drop by the Electronic Engineering stand at this event to find out more. -ends-

NUI Galway Honours Gabriel Byrne during Winter Conferrings
Monday, 26 November 2007
One of Ireland's best known actors and most appreciated sons will be conferred tomorrow (Tuesday, 27 November) with a Degree of Doctor of Arts (honoris causa) at National University of Ireland, Galway. Gabriel Byrne is one of the best known actors in the world and he will be conferred as part of the winter conferring at NUI Galway along with over 800 students from across the faculties and schools. Gabriel Byrne started his acting career with Ireland's Focus Theatre before joining London's Royal Court Theatre in 1979. His film debut came soon after, in John Boorman's 1981 Arthurian epic, Excalibur. He has worked with some of cinema's leading directors, including the Coen Brothers, Wim Wenders, Jim Jarmusch, Ken Loach, John Boorman, David Cronenberg and Bryan Singer. Moving between independent and studio films, in addition to producing three pictures and writing two, he has starred in 35 feature films, including Miller's Crossing, The Usual Suspects, Into the West, The End of Violence, Dead Man, Vanity Fair and Spider. Rod Stoneman, Director of the Huston School of Film & Digital Media, said, "Gabriel Byrne is an artist whose imagination and performances have offered us irreplaceable ideas and images and we are pleased to honour him for this. His involvement with Irish cultural activities and charitable works is exemplary, reflecting a generosity of spirit and commitment to his homeland." Students will graduate throughout the day from the College of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences; College of Engineering and Informatics; Faculty of Law; Faculty of Commerce; College of Science; and College of Arts, Social Sciences and Celtic Studies. Speaking ahead of the conferring, President of NUI Galway, Dr Iognáid Ó Muircheartaigh, said, "We in NUI Galway are delighted to honour Gabriel Byrne as an outstanding Irish actor, who is respected internationally as a master of his craft. We re especially pleased that on the day we graduate the first students from new and innovative programmes in film and digital media, that we are honoured by the presence of Gabriel Byrne, who receives a Doctor of Arts for his outstanding contribution to Irish and international film." Some students at the conferring ceremony will be the first to graduate from certain new courses, such as the MA in Advanced Learning Skills, MA in Philosophy: Ethics, Culture and Global Change, MA in Digital Media, MA Production and Direction, and MA Public Advocacy and Activism.

Mineralogical Society Distinguished Lecture at NUI Galway
Wednesday, 21 November 2007
'Minerals, metals, molecules and microbes' The Mineralogical Society Distinguished Lecturers programme comes to the Environmental Change Institute, NUI Galway, on Thursday 29 November, with a lecture by Professor David Vaughan of the University of Manchester. Professor Vaughan will deliver a lecture on "Minerals, metals, molecules and microbes: environmental mineralogy and sustainability", at 8pm, with refreshments from 7.30pm, in the Orbsen Building Seminar Room. Environmental mineralogy is the study of minerals with the purpose of understanding and assessing their influence in the movement and fixing of organic and inorganic contaminants at and near the earth's surface. According to Professor David Vaughan, of the University of Manchester, "Metals are critically important both as resources and potential pollutants. Understanding how they can be concentrated or dispersed at the Earth's surface depends on new knowledge, at the molecular scale, of processes involving mineral surfaces, ultrafine particles and mineral-microbe interactions." The lecture will address the following questions: How do we use minerals to contain waste? Can minerals offer green solutions to the problems of waste management? How do minerals assist in the remediation of contaminated soils and waters? How do flora and fauna interact with minerals in rocks and how do they work to break down stone buildings and walls? What are some of the state-of-the-art techniques used to study metal cycling in the environment? Dr. Martin Feely, of the Geofluids Research Group in the Department of Earth and Ocean Sciences at NUI Galway, says that, "On a local level, one of the most visual examples of the importance of mineral-microbe interactions is the manner in which lichen work to degrade Ireland's old stone walls. Understanding how this process occurs is relevant for geologists, archaeologists, environmental consultants, botanists and microbiologists." This lecture is free and open to the public and is hosted by NUI Galway's Environmental Change Institute (ECI) and Department of Earth and Ocean Sciences.

President to lead high-level NUI Galway delegation to China
Monday, 19 November 2007
Dr Iognáid Ó Muircheartaigh, President of National University of Ireland, Galway will today lead a high level delegation to China of academic representatives from various university faculties and research centres. Over the course of the 5-day visit the delegation will be expanding and strengthening links by meeting with, and in many instances signing memoranda of understanding and partnership agreements between NUI Galway and 17 Chinese institutions. * Developing stronger educational links with China is not only a key feature of NUI Galway's international strategy but features prominently in the Irish government's Asia strategy (1999-2009). Some of the benefits of these links are graduate placement, recruitment and co-operation in the field of research and development. Ms Anna Cunningham, Director of International Affairs at NUI Galway, said, "Attracting high calibre international research Masters and PhD students is a strategic priority for NUI Galway. We are fortunate to have solid links in place already with a range of prestigious Chinese universities. The objective of this visit is to formalise these links and create further opportunities for reciprocal exchange of postgraduate students and collaborative research." During the visit Professor William Schabas of the Irish Centre for Human Rights will deliver a paper at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) with which NUI Galway will sign a formal agreement. Among the other institutions formalising agreements with NUI Galway will be Hong Kong University of Science & Technology and the Institute of Oceanology at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Qingdao, who will forge a formal linkage with the Martin Ryan Marine Research Institute, NUI Galway. In addition, the Beijing Alumni Chapter launch will be hosted by Ambassador Declan Kelleher at the Irish Embassy. Speaking ahead of the visit, President Ó Muircheartaigh said, "This historic visit to China represents a wonderful opportunity for NUI Galway to build upon the strong existing relationships between our university and China. With over 70 alumni in China, Galway is the Irish university with the most China-based graduates. The visit by this delegation will be a platform for our existing and developing connections with China - so that these can be strengthened and built on, thus paving the way for increased cooperation in educational exchange, in research & development and in greater cultural understanding." Dr Louis de Paor, Director of the Centre for Irish Studies and Professor Kevin Barry, Dean of the College of Arts, Social Sciences, and Celtic Studies, will visit Nanjing and Fudan Universities with a view to attracting Master and PhD students for a period of study at the Centre. The Centre currently has a student from Nanjing, sponsored by the China Scholarship Council conducting her doctoral research on the work of Roddy Doyle. Professor Barry says, "In order to establish these exchanges NUI Galway are providing Chinese language classes where 30 students are currently enrolled with two lecturers from Beijing. During the next academic year at NUI Galway, it is planned to offer undergraduate students the option of studying Chinese as part of Arts and Commerce programmes." In his remarks at the launch of the Alumni Chapter, the President reminded alumni and guests that the links between NUI Galway and Beijing would be further enhanced by the participation of three current students and 1 alumni in next year s Olympics in Beijing who will compete in sprinting (Paul Hession, 110 & 200m) rowing (Alan Martin, Cormac Folan) and the 20km walk (Olive Loughnane).

An tUachtarán agus toscaireacht ó OÉ Gaillimh le haghaidh a thabhairt ar an tSín
Monday, 19 November 2007
Tabharfaidh an Dr Iognáid Ó Muircheartaigh, Uachtarán Ollscoil na hÉireann, Gaillimh agus toscaireacht ionadaithe acadúla ó choláistí ollscoile agus ionaid taighde éagsúla aghaidh ar an tSín inniu. Caithfidh an toscaireacht 5 lá sa tSín agus is é atá mar aidhm leis an gcuairt seo naisc a chruthú agus a neartú trí chuairt a thabhairt ar 17 n-institiúid sa tSín agus meamraim thuisceana agus comhaontuithe comhpháirtíochta a shíniú idir OÉ Gaillimh agus na hinstitiúidí sin. * Ní hamháin gur príomhghné de straitéis idirnáisiúnta OÉ Gaillimh é naisc oideachais níos láidre a fhorbairt leis an tSín, ach is príomhghné de Straitéis Áise Rialtas na hÉireann é freisin (1999-2009). I measc cuid de na buntáistí a bhaineann leis na naisc seo tá earcaíocht, comhoibriú agus socrúcháin oibre do chéimithe sa réimse taighde agus forbartha. Seo a leanas a bhí le rá ag Anna Cunningham, Uasal, An Stiúrthóir um Ghnóthaí Idirnáisiúnta in OÉ Gaillimh, "Tosaíocht straitéiseach atá ag OÉ Gaillimh mic léinn idirnáisiúnta Mháistreachta agus Ph.D. den scoth a mhealladh chuig OÉ Gaillimh. Tá an t-ádh orainn go bhfuil naisc cruthaithe againn cheana féin le cuid de na hollscoileanna is iomráití sa tSín. Is é atá mar aidhm leis an gcuairt seo na naisc seo a bhunú go foirmiúil agus tuilleadh deiseanna cómhalartacha a chruthú do mhic léinn iarchéime, tuilleadh deiseanna comhthaighde san áireamh." I rith na cuairte tabharfaidh an tOllamh William Schabas ó Ionad na hÉireann um Chearta an Duine páipéar ag an Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS). Tá sé beartaithe ag OÉ Gaillimh comhaontú foirmiúil a shíniú le CASS. I measc na n-institiúidí eile a shíneoidh comhaontuithe foirmiúla le OÉ Gaillimh beidh Hong Kong University of Science & Technology agus Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Qingdao. Beidh nasc foirmiúil ann idir an Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Qingdao agus Institiúid Mhuireolaíochta Mháirtín Uí Riain, OÉ Gaillimh. Lena chois sin, is é an tAmbasadóir Declan Kelleher a sheolfaidh an Alumni Chapter i mBéising in Ambasáid na hÉireann. Seo a leanas a bhí le rá ag an Uachtarán Ó Muircheartaigh agus é ar tí imeacht chun na Síne, "Is deis iontach é an cuairt stairiúil seo ar an tSín do OÉ Gaillimh cur leis an ngaolmhaireacht láidir atá idir ár n-ollscoil féin agus an tSín cheana féin. Le breis agus 70 alumni sa tSín, is í OÉ Gaillimh an ollscoil Éireannach leis an líon is mó céimithe bunaithe sa tSín. Deis a bheidh sa cuairt seo cur leis na naisc reatha agus naisc nua a fhorbairt leis an tSín – ionas gur féidir na naisc seo a neartú agus cur leo. Ciallóidh sé seo go mbeidh comhoibriú níos fearr ann sa mhalairt oideachais, sa taighde agus forbairt, mar aon le tuiscint níos fearr ar ghnéithe cultúrtha." Tabharfaidh an Dr Louis de Paor, Stiúrthóir Ionad an Léinn Éireannaigh agus an tOllamh Kevin Barry, Déan Choláiste na nDán, na nEolaíochtaí Sóisialta agus an Léinn Cheiltigh cuairt ar Nanjing University agus Fudan University agus é mar aidhm acu mic léinn Mháistreachta agus Ph.D. a mhealladh chun seal a chaitheamh i mbun staidéir in Ionad an Léinn Éireannaigh. Tá mac léinn amháin ó Nanjing University i mbun staidéir in Ionad an Léinn Éireannaigh faoi láthair. Tá an mac léinn seo ag fáil urraíochta ó Chomhairle Scoláireachta na Síne, agus tá sí i mbun taighde dhochtúireachta ar shaothar Roddy Doyle. Dúirt an tOllamh Barry, "D'fhonn na malairtí idir na hollscoileanna seo a bhunú tá ranganna Sínise á gcur ar fáil in OÉ Gaillimh anois. Tá 30 mac léinn cláraithe faoi láthair agus beirt léachtóirí ó Bhéising atá i mbun na ranganna seo. Sa bhliain acadúil amach romhainn in OÉ Gaillimh, tá sé beartaithe deis a thabhairt do mhic léinn atá i mbun cúrsaí sna Dána agus sa Tráchtáil staidéar a dhéanamh ar an tSínis." Le linn don Uachtarán a bheith ag labhairt ag seoladh Alumni Chapter, mheabhraigh sé do alumni agus d'aíonna araon, go bhféadfaí cur leis na naisc idir OÉ Gaillimh agus Béising mar go mbeidh triúr mac léinn agus alumni amháin ó OÉ Gaillimh ag glacadh páirte sna Cluichí Oilimpeacha a bheidh ar siúl an bhliain seo chugainn i mBéising. I measc na gcineálacha spóirt atá i gceist tá ráibeáil (Paul Hession, 110 & 200m), iomramh (Alan Martin, Cormac Folan) agus siúl 20km (Olive Loughnane). CRÍOCH

A seminar on 'Schooling in a Changing Ireland' will be given from 1-2pm on Tuesday, 20 November at NUI Galway by Fr. Harry Bohan, founder of The Céifin Centre for Values-led Change. The free public event is part of the University's Community Knowledge Initiative (CKI) Keynote Seminar Series which seeks to address pertinent issues facing the wider national and international community. Founded by Fr. Harry Bohan in 1998, the Céifin Centre is based in Shannon, Co. Clare. The Centre focuses on a search for values in modern day Ireland. Céifin's main aim is to generate the capacity for debate on social change issues by facilitating a number of activities and programmes including conferences, lectures, workshops and research projects. The seminar will address some of the challenges facing schools in Ireland today, at primary and secondary level. According to Fr. Harry, "In our time, the greatest revolution taking place in Ireland is not with state or church but with family life. We have moved in a short period of time from the extended family to the nuclear family, to various definitions of family life. According to CSO figures 20% of families in the Dublin area could now be regarded as traditional families. Adolescents now spend less that 5% of their time with parents and less than 2% with other adults. This means a generation of young Irish people are growing up alone". He continued: "Traditionally, values were taught by parents at home and by teachers in the classroom. Now we have a society where parents often cannot afford to be at home, where the dynamic of home life revolves around TV and video games. The implications for schools and schooling are enormous. The question must now be asked: who is rearing the next generations? Finding answers to this question could be one of the great challenges facing our society". Previous speakers in CKI's seminar series have included former Taoiseach Dr. Garret FitzGerald, Michael D. Higgins, T.D., Mary Davis, Chair of the Taskforce on Active Citizenship, and Alan Kerins of the Alan Kerins African Projects. The seminar will be held in the Siobhán McKenna Theatre in the Arts Millennium Building at NUI Galway. For further information, telephone the CKI office on 091 493823. ENDS

SFI awards €4.3 million funding for NUI Galway biomaterials research
Friday, 16 November 2007
The Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Micheál Martin T.D., has announced Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) research investment awards amounting to €87 million across a number of groundbreaking industry-academic projects. Among the projects is the Network of Excellence for Functional Biomaterials (NFB), which was awarded just over €4.3 million from SFI with an additional €1.7 million to be provided by industrial partners. NFB is led by Professor Abhay Pandit of the National Centre for Biomedical Engineering Science (NCBES) at NUI Galway. Biomaterials are synthetic materials which are placed within the body for therapeutic reasons. Their effectiveness can be greatly increased by combining them with therapeutic agents such as genes. NFB will develop new technologies to carry therapeutic genes and other agents to specific target sites. These will include coatings for medical devices, tissue repair scaffolds and also programmable nanospheres which carry a therapeutic agent to a specific location via the bloodstream. The new technology has applications linked to several important diseases, including cardiovascular disease, disc repair, spinal cord and nerve damage. "This is a tremendous opportunity for us to develop critical mass in the area of next generation biomaterials. With the establishment of this strategic research cluster we are now poised to make substantial impact on the world stage for biomaterials research. We see this funding as seed money to establish a world-class centre of excellence in biomaterials research in the coming years," reports Professor Abhay Pandit of NUI Galway. The network brings together leading researchers from national and international institutions. The team is competitive internationally by virtue of their broad expertise, their track record of collaboration, and the benefit of international collaborations with outstanding institutions and individuals. Industrial partnerships with a number of key companies in the medical device field have been established and will be critical to bringing materials developed in this project to market. Speaking at the announcement of the funding allocation at SFI, Professor Frank Gannon, Director General SFI, said, "These research award recipients and the teams that they have assembled are of world-class calibre. I believe that the initiatives to be undertaken by SFI over the coming seven years will provide a cornerstone for Ireland s future economic development, with Centres for Science and Engineering Technology (CSETs) and Strategic Research Clusters (SRCs) playing a key role". Professor Nicholas Canny, Vice President for Research at NUI Galway commented, "The award by SFI of the grant of €4.3m is a tribute both to the quality research record that Professor Abhay Pandit and his colleagues have established at NUI Galway for several years, and to the high-calibre collaborative network that Abhay has been able to forge because of his international scholarly reputation."

Monsignor Pádraig de Brún Memorial Lecture 2007
Thursday, 15 November 2007
Solar variability and climate: conjecture, politics and science The 2007 Monsignor Pádraig de Brún Memorial Lecture entitled Solar Variability and Climate Change, will be delivered by Professor Joanna Haigh, Professor of Atmospheric Physics, Imperial College London on Thursday, 22 November, 2007 at 8.30 p.m. in the O'Flaherty Lecture Theatre, NUI Galway. Joanna Haigh is Professor of Atmospheric Physics and Head of the Space and Atmospheric Physics group at Imperial College London. Her talk will outline the chequered history of solar-climate studies, assess what is known about variations in the Sun and review the evidence for a solar influence on climate. It will conclude with a discussion of recent research that is trying to unravel some of the complex physical mechanisms involved. Professor Gerard Jennings of the Environment Change Institute at NUI Galway commenting ahead of Professor Haigh's lecture said, "Natural variations in the sun's energy, as measured from spacecraft over the past 30 years, are too small to account for the observed rapid rise in global mean temperatures. This is consistent with the extensive body of scientific evidence which supports the view that it is extremely likely that human activity has a substantial warming influence on climate." Professor Haigh's scientific interests include: radiative transfer in the atmosphere, climate modelling, radiative forcing of climate change and the influence of solar irradiance variability on climate. She has published widely on these topics in the scientific literature and also contributed to numerous items in the written and broadcast popular media. This public lecture is jointly organised by NUI Galway and the Royal Irish Academy. While admission is free, tickets are limited and are available through the Press and Information Office at 091-493361 or by email at email@example.com. Alternatively, tickets can be booked through the Royal Irish Academy at www.ria.ie. ENDS

Zero forks because I never got to taste them, and one of my very rare disappointments with BA. I live in the Caribbean, so as others said, maybe it's the humidity, but I tried two batches and they both turned to runny muck when I added the powdered sugar, having attained some peaks (but not a ton) prior to that. I bake a lot and have made meringue before, but have never had something like this happen. Big disappointment because they were supposed to be a feature of my cookie plates this year...
Like heathersil from chicago said humidity could be your problem even in Boston a rainy day is not a good day to make meringues either! Be sure your egg whites are at room temp and bowl is clean of any oils or residue. mine are in the oven we will see how they turn out so far so good! It is a mess getting them in the pastry bag may try the ziplock methold next time so I can just throw out!
Something went wrong. I used a carton of egg whites (from Trader Joe's) and followed the recipe exactly. My egg white/salt/sugar mixture never materialized into firm peaks. I tried this process twice, with the same disappointing results.
If I could give zero forks, I would. I've successfully made meringue before, but this recipe is horrible-- after nearly 20 minutes with the mixer at high speed I never got stiff peaks. I added cream of tartar after about 15 minutes and it stiffened up a bit, but because it had already been going so long I was afraid to beat it any longer. It was a total loss; we didn't even bake the cookies because the meringue was so wet and gummy. I accept the fact that I could have made a mistake somewhere along the line, but we'll never know if it was me or the recipe because I'm not trying this one again.
I am celiac and I love mint, so these were perfect for me. I did, however, leave out the food coloring (which I don't eat), and drizzled them with melted dark chocolate once they had cooled, and they were delicious!
I made these exactly as written in the recipe. I think the flavor, texture and appearance were excellent. I would prefer more peppermint flavor, though and will probably add 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract next time. Also, I think I over-beat the egg whites. Next time I will beat for less time than specified in the recipe. Another thing I would do differently is instead of leaving the 12 drops of coloring on top, I'd slightly mix it into the meringue. The first several I piped had very little red streaks in them.
I followed the simple recipe exactly and these turned out perfectly. Peppermind Meringues are an instant family favorite. I might have to make a second batch before Christmas, because we can hardly keep our hands off of them!
What a great recipe! Made just like the recipe stated and they came out perfect. I loved the buttery mint flavor. To the reviewer previously w/ all the problems, I wonder if you live in an area w/ high humidity? That can make a big difference.
This is the worst recipe I have ever made. I do not bake that often, so maybe its me, but NOTHING went right with this recipe. They didn't harden even after 2 and a half hours of cooking, the cosistency was runny the first two times I tried to make the "dough". After the third time it fluffed up to meringue consistency, but even after that it was messy getting it into the bag, they looked pretty but after they cooled they were mushy, they taste good, and don't look to bad but when you touch them sticky and mushy. This is a big NO!
Super easy to make and impressive in the Holiday Gift Boxes. They don't take long to make, as one reviewer stated, they are rather simple in fact. But they do take a long time to bake.

NEW YORK (AP) Comments on the Cincinnati Bengals by the AP Pro32 panel (ranking in parentheses):
Chris Berman (ESPN, 20) - There's life in these Tigers.
Clifton Brown (Sporting News, 16) - This team has made a nice resurgence - a serious threat to Steelers.
Rich Gannon (CBS Sports/SiriusXM NFL Radio, 15) - Playing better on defense and Dalton isn't turning the ball over the last two weeks.
Bob Glauber (Newsday, 17) - Bengals follow up blowout of defending Super Bowl champions with another excellent performance, even if the competition was inferior. But hey, the Chiefs played well the week before in Pittsburgh, so give credit to Cincy for not giving KC a chance in this one.
Rick Gosselin (Dallas Morning News, 17) - The 5-5 Bengals cling to playoff contention even though they are better on the road (3-2) than at home (2-3).
Clark Judge (CBSSports.com, 17) - Somewhere, A.J. Green is scoring another touchdown.
Ira Kaufman (Tampa Tribune, 16) - With a prolonged October funk behind them, they're on the rise.
Pat Kirwan (SiriusXM NFL Radio/CBSSports.com, 16) - A.J. Green may be the best receiver in football right now, Dalton has his confidence back and the defense is back on track. A dangerous team going forward.
John Lynch (Fox Sports, 17) - Two impressive wins in a row for the Bengals.
Alex Marvez (Foxsports.com, 14) - A strong argument can be made that wide receiver A.J. Green and defensive tackle Geno Atkins are the best players at their respective positions in the AFC.
Dan Pompei (Chicago Tribune, 15) - They have won two straight by 18 points or more, and the arrow is pointing up.

Aboutfirstsite celebrates the work of the experimental artist, poet and publisher Henri Chopin, who lived in Essex from 1968 to 1985. The exhibition Henri Chopin dans l'Essex takes its title from a monograph on the artist's work published in 1972, and features works on paper, publications, prints and other ephemera produced during the period that Chopin lived in Essex. Chopin was a major pioneer of sound and visual poetry in Britain and France. During the 1950s, he began to experiment with sound and the possibilities of the human voice. He recorded over 100 audio poems during his lifetime and actively sought to promote the medium of poetry through the publication of the magazine OU (196474). Chopin moved from France to Essex in 1968, settling in Ingatestone from October of that year to 1981, and then in Leigh-on-Sea from 1981 to 1985 when he returned to France. From 1969 to 1976 he staged a small, international festival at his home, for which artists and writers including William Burroughs and Brion Gysin travelled to Ingatestone to take part. From 2001 he lived with his daughter and family in Dereham, Norfolk, where he continued to write and perform until his death in 2008. Henri Chopin (b.1922, Paris; d. 2008, Dereham, Norfolk) has held solo exhibitions at venues including Fundaçà £o de Serralves, Porto; Museum van Hedendaagse Kunst Antwerpen (MuKHA), Antwerp (2011); Cubitt Gallery, London (2008); Fondazione Morra, Naples (2005); Norwich Gallery (1998); Neues Museum Weserburg, Bremen (1993); Whitechapel Art Gallery, London (1974) and Ceolfrith Arts Centre, Sunderland (1972). His work has been presented in significant international survey exhibitions, including Ecstatic Alphabet/Heaps of Language, Museum of Modern Art, New York (2012) and Poor. Old. Tired. Horse.,Institute of Contemporary Arts, London (2009).

Outside influences (1861–95)
Ranavalona was succeeded by her son, Radama II, who readmitted the foreigners. English Protestants and French Roman Catholics vied for supremacy, while business proprietors obtained excessive concessions. This policy led to Radama's overthrow by the Merina oligarchy in 1863. The head of the army, Rainilaiarivony, a Hova, became prime minister and remained in power by marrying three queens in succession: Rasoherina, Ranavalona II, and Ranavalona III. He embarked on a program of modernization, and in 1869 he caused Protestantism to be adopted and suppressed the traditional Malagasy religion. European-style ministries were created and governors set up in the provinces. Villages were supervised by former soldiers. Education was declared obligatory and placed under the direction of the Christian missions. A code of laws was worked out that combined ancient customs with such Western practices as monogamy.
The French began to extend their influence over the Sakalava, and the first "Franco-Merina" war (1883–85) ended with an ambiguous treaty: France was given a settlement at Diégo-Suarez and a resident at Antananarivo, but the institution of a protectorate was temporarily avoided. The succeeding period was marked by disorder and internal strife. In 1890 the British recognized Madagascar as a French protectorate, but Rainilaiarivony refused to submit to French suzerainty. In January 1895, French troops landed at Majunga, and on September 30, 1895, they occupied Antananarivo. The prime minister was exiled. The queen signed a treaty recognizing the protectorate and was maintained on the throne as a figurehead.
The French period
The colonial period (1896–1945)
French occupation soon extended to the entire part of the island conquered by the Merina. But, in Imerina itself, armed guerrilla bands (the Menalamba, or "Red Togas") resisted modernization and French rule. The French parliament voted the annexation of the island on August 6, 1896, and sent Gen. Joseph-Simon Gallieni first as military commander, then as governor-general. Slavery was abolished. Gallieni put down the insurrection, subdued the oligarchy, and sent the queen into exile on February 27, 1897. In 1898 the old Merina kingdom was pacified. Gallieni then undertook the difficult task of subjugating the independent peoples. Two insurrections, in the northwest (1898) and in the southeast (1904), were quickly put down, and, when he left the island in 1905, unification had been achieved. The Merina governors had been replaced by French administrators, with leaders taken from local peoples. The teaching of French in the schools was made compulsory. Customs duties favoured French products, though Malagasy enterprise was also encouraged. The Tamatave-Antananarivo railroad was begun, roads were built, and a modern health service was inaugurated.
The economic development of the island continued under Gallieni's successors. The railroad and its branchlines were completed in 1913. A second line, the Fianarantsoa-Manakara, was finished in 1935. Automobile roads increased after 1920, airlines after 1936. The cities and seaports were built up and equipped, and loans were contracted in France. Exports were confined to agricultural products and raw materials for industry. Rice, cassava (manioc), rubber, raffia, meat, and graphite predominated at first. Between World Wars I and II, coffee, vanilla, cloves, and tobacco, introduced by the Europeans and then taken up by native planters, became more important. Three-quarters of all trade was with France. Material aspects of life became Westernized, especially in the cities, and half the population became Christianized.
In 1915 a nationalist secret society, the Vy Vato Sakelika (VVS), was outlawed. In 1920 a teacher, Jean Ralaimongo, launched a campaign in the press to give the Malagasy "subjects" French citizenship and to make Madagascar a French département. When France failed to respond to the demand for assimilation, the movement turned toward nationalism. In 1940 Madagascar, though hesitant at first, rallied to the Vichy government. Then came a blockade, occupation by the British and South Africans (1942), and finally a return to Free France.
The French Union (1946–58)
In the elections of 1945, two Malagasy nationalists were elected to the French parliament. The constitution of 1946, creating the French Union, made Madagascar an overseas territory of the French Republic, with representatives to the Paris assemblies and a local assembly at Antananarivo. Six provincial assemblies were created later. The political struggle erupted into violence on March 30, 1947, with a full-scale insurrection in eastern Madagascar. The leaders of the Democratic Movement for Malagasy Renewal (Mouvement Démocratique de la Rénovation Malgache), including the three representatives to the French national assembly, were outlawed. While an official count of lives lost in the revolt records about 11,000 dead, it is certain that thousands more of the Malagasy populace perished from famine, cold, and psychological misery while hiding from both the French army and the insurgents in the island's inhospitable tropical forests.
A period of political inactivity followed until the 1950s. After the Overseas Territories Law of 1956 gave Madagascar an executive elected by the local assembly, Vice-Premier Philibert Tsiranana founded the Social Democratic Party (Parti Social Démocrate; PSD), which, though most of its members were non-Merina from the coastal areas, offered to cooperate with the Merina. In 1958 France agreed to let its overseas territories decide their own fate. In a referendum on September 28, Madagascar voted for autonomy within the French Community. On October 14, 1958, the autonomous Malagasy Republic was proclaimed; Tsiranana headed the provisional government.
1A democratically elected president was inaugurated on Jan. 25, 2014, the National Assembly was installed on Feb. 18, 2014, and a new prime minister was appointed on April 11, 2014. Installation of the Senate was expected at a later date.

The service was excellent and very knowledgeable when it came to choosing a restaurant. The facilities such as the infinity pool and hot tub were unbelievable. Loved every bit of our stay. Look for those rare off season rates for a fraction of the cost.
The location was excellent and the price for a hotel adjacent to the lift was definitely worth it. The service from the valets was outstanding.
The room was pretty small and the service from some of the staff was poor, especially the gift shop/cafe.
Great location within Vail Village. The lobby was beautiful and cozy, the rooms were nicely appointed and comfortable. Very comfortable bed, soft bedding and towels, nice robes. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Every morning there was coffee, tea, and several complimentary newspapers ready for you in the lobby. Every afternoon there was coffee, tea, hot cocoa, and fresh cookies waiting for you, as well as a roaring fire.
Can't think of anything. We enjoyed our stay that much!
In the middle of a great ski village, awesome views and great in summer as well
Love the location and the staff is very friendky
The facility is old and tired
The price for staying in Vail
The show setting was downright dangerous, Went from cold to scalding by moving a mm.
Liked the staff location and rooms. A great place.
Under heavy renovation at the end of April.
Outstanding service & attentiveness. We stayed at the Four Seasons Vail for our wedding night. I had booked a couple months in advance. We weren't accustomed to the caliber of service, so I was quite sure what to expect, but I wanted to make the night special, so I splurged for us to stay here. Our concierge, Brett, was excellent to work with to coordinate details prior to our stay. The level of service, attentiveness, and overall experience of our accommodation was outstanding.
The stay at the Marriott was excellent! Friendly staff, great accommodations and great location!
Noise next door due to construction - couldn't enjoy balcony.
Comfortable king-size bed. Spacious room and easy location to Vail. Loved the free shuttle. Cafe on site and amenities like grocery store nearby.
Very noisy both in room and out. Could hear people in stairway and intimate noises from room next door. Only valet parking. Lots of young people on last weekend of winter season.
Comfortable beds, nice high-ceiling lobby, very good adjacent restaurants, friendly staff.

NEW YORK (AP) — American Airlines and US Airways have cleared the last major hurdle to merging, but it will be several months — if not years — before passengers see any significant impact.
Passengers with existing tickets on American or US Airways — and members of both frequent flier programs — shouldn't fret. No changes will come immediately.
Since announcing the deal in February, the two airlines have been working behind the scenes to try and make the merger as seamless as possible. Following Tuesday's agreement with the Justice Department, the two airlines said they expect the deal to close in December. But that doesn't mean everything will happen overnight. When the deal does close, here's what passengers can expect:
During the past five years, the airline industry has seen the combinations of Delta with Northwest, United with Continental and Southwest Airlines Co. with AirTran. The price of a domestic round-trip flight has climbed more than 15 percent since 2009, when adjusted for inflation, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics.
The merger will give a combined American and US Airways Group Inc. the ability to increase fares. United, Delta and Southwest would be likely to follow. Although it could also pave the way for further expansion by discount airlines such as Spirit Airlines Inc. and Allegiant Travel Co.
Your miles will be safe. After the merger closes, the two airlines will likely combine the miles into one program and elite status from one airline will likely be honored on the other. That puts the occasional traveler closer to rewards.
The merged carrier will continue American's participation in the OneWorld alliance, which was founded by American, British Airways, Cathay Pacific and Qantas. Today, it has 13 airlines including Finnair, Royal Jordanian and Japan Airlines. US Airways will leave the Star Alliance, which includes rival United Airlines, Lufthansa, Air Canada and 24 other airlines. Alliances allow passengers to earn and redeem miles on partner airlines.

Editorial: This is a useful 'nanny'
Efforts to get Memphians off the couch and into healthy exercise routines will suffer a setback if budget difficulties shut down the city's athletic programs.
At the same time it's important to note the progress that could be achieved as a result of initiatives inspired by Michelle Obama's Let's Move! program.
Let's Move launched in the city last week with a focus on healthy choices, healthy schools, healthy food and activity. And despite budget problems, city officials are not sitting on their hands in the healthier living campaign.
It will be instructive to see how many Memphians use 25 Shared Area and Fitness Exercise (SAFE) sites where police patrols will help ensure the safety of Memphians who might have been fearful to exercise in outdoor parks and areas in their neighborhoods.
The addition of 55 additional miles of bike paths by next summer also is an efficient way for local government to encourage healthy activity.
Political opponents call this the "nanny state" approach to government. We call it a useful application of public resources that will pay off in a better quality of life and lower health care costs.

Scores of Gaucher disease patients silently marched to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's residence on Saturday demanding a national policy to provide free treatment to people suffering from such rare diseases.
The walk, organized by Lysosomal Storage Disorder Support Society (LSDSS) on the occasion of first International Gaucher day, saw participation from patients along with their parents holding placards and banners.
Present among them was 7-year-old Mohammed Ahmed along with his parents Sirajuddin and Anwari Begum, first patient to be awarded free treatment at AIIMS following a verdict from the High Court in April this year.
Standing with distended abdomen, swollen lymph nodes, thin limbs and black-brown skin pigmentation, Ahmed is the last surviving child of the couple. His four siblings (three boys and one girl) have already lost their battle to the rare genetic disease.
Diagnosed with Gaucher's as an infant, Ahmed suffered from fever, his abdomen started swelling and his weight came down to mere 13 kgs at the age of six.
"With each passing day, Ahmed's condition was deteriorating fast. He needed ERT (Enzyme Replacement Therapy), the only available treatment costing around Rs 5-6 lakh every month for the rest of his life. I cannot think of losing my fifth child," said Sirajuddin, a rickshaw puller.

It's nearly that time again
"The Voice of the Philippines" and its baby sister show, "The Voice Kids," are in the process of holding auditions for artists who want to join the competition. Kids will hold Blind Auditions (where they'll be performing for the singers that will be their coaches—only three this time, not four) in March while the grown-ups will have theirs in June.
"American Idol" is also about to start its search; if I'm not mistaken, today's the day.
Doing our show last year was great as far as finding talented singers to fill the slots required. We, coaches, were so fortunate to have found 13 singers to form our individual teams. However, I'll be honest: I wasn't always sure what to look for, all genres aside. Now that 2014 is here, and another season is about to begin, I'd like to think that I'm a little better now at figuring it all out.
So… if I was back in my red chair right now, this is what I would be looking for:
Let's get down to brass tacks, ladies and gentlemen. Sing… in… tune… please.
You know those really outlandishly terrible auditions in "American Idol" that seem to rake in the ratings? Please don't do that in "The Voice." If there's anything I appreciate about TVOP it's that once artists arrive at Blinds, the awful people are weeded out. To get past the preliminaries, you'd better be good.
The staff members are so excited about the singers they've found for Season 2. We're all going to find out soon enough if these new finds are worth the superlatives being heaped upon them. Right now, I'm being cautiously optimistic.
Emotional content
In more simple terms, "singing with feeling."
Every song on earth can be spun to evoke different emotions, depending on what the artist wants to convey. You can take a romantic love song, for example, and pump something entirely different emotionally to turn that once lovesick little ditty into an anthem of anger and disappointment.
When we're looking for "feeling" and "emotion," we're looking to be moved by you. Don't default into bombastic, because "loud" does not always mean "emotional." If your increase in volume is due to an upsurge in what's happening in your heart, then that's awesome. If it's just to impress us with how far you can turn your internal volume up, then it won't earn you any points with any coach. At least not with me.
What makes an artist musical? This is all about pure feel. It's about going with the ebb and flow of a song, not fighting its natural inclinations; about being able to tell a story, working with and not against the dictates of the composer. It's about oneness and unity.
It's an almost miraculous meeting of artist and music where you don't know where one ends and the other begins. It's as if one was made for the other, that the singer wouldn't exist without that song, and that the song wouldn't exist without the singer. We all know it when we hear it. Our hearts let us know when it happens.
My presumption is that you are willing to learn from the coaches, which is why you're joining "The Voice." Well, apart from all the prizes offered and the promise of superstardom.
After each Blind Audition, we'd speak with the candidate asking them about their life and desires, trying to get a feel for the person behind the voice. I'll be candid… there were a few that put me off. I couldn't put my finger on what it was—a manner of speaking, or the way they'd answer questions—but there would be something that would rub me the wrong way for some strange reason.
It's great to stick to your guns as an artist, and we all hope that each artist is paired with a coach that really gets him and helps him along on the road to fame, but it should be a collaboration between the two. There is insight that the coach can offer the artist from the wealth of experience the coach has been through, and there needs to be mutual respect in the back and forth communication between the two.
If there's anything I can't stand it's a singer that clearly did not prepare himself for an audition. This should be a given, something I shouldn't even have to batter anyone on the head with. Know your music, know your lyrics, and know all of these like the back of your hand. Give yourself a little time, devote a bit of your day to the almost obsessive practice of preparation. We'll know when you're not prepared.
So, are you ready to give it a try? If your answer is yes, go for it. Good luck, and may you be lucky enough to see the back of a red chair.

Android developer with ffmpeg and parse.com skills
Ukraine - Last active: 2 months ago - Tests: 12 - Portfolio: 7
If you are looking for Android developer, especially if you need to handle multimedia data in your project, likely I will be excellent choice for you. Handling multimedia is very tough, average programmer who wasn't previously working on it will spend weeks doing some simple task like adding noise to video(know it from my own experience) while I would be able to accomplish it in hours and with highest quality. If you choose me, you will be sure that video will play on all kind of devices(had opportunity to test on a lot of them so I know which options work and which doesn't), that I will compile latest FFmpeg version for you(that's important because it progresses fast, in recent builds there are better performance and most importantly less memory leaks). Any usage of FFmpeg will not scare me, I can compile it with x264 for high-quality video, with mp3lame for exporting mp3 or any other lib you want, I can add any effects, I can work with FFmpeg through command-line by using ffmpeg4android lib or work with it through NDK. Another strong part of my skills is Parse.com . This service allows to create client-server applications without writing backend. This way you will save money on backend programmer, and will have code of better quality – situations like caching, losing Internet connection etc. is properly addressed there, much better than typically written backend. Consider hiring me if you want to develop new client-server application, or want to maintain existing Parse app. Apart from my extensive knowledge of FFmpeg+Android and Parse, I have great skills of general Android programming. As I'm always thinking about creating quality code, plus having knowledge of design patterns, you will end up spending less as adding new features will not turn your app into unmaintainable Big Ball of Mud. Having experience of working through NDK, managing sources through git, working with many different 3rd-party libs like Facebook API, Instagram API, Vine API, Jsoup etc. I will ensure that task will be accomplished in shortest time possible, plus I can learn new things very quick, any lib your project need - will be attached in no time. Always thinking constructively, I will propose you how to improve your app if such way exists, I will not just mindlessly do tasks you give me - as I'm thinking on overall situation, any issues will be not hidden, but presented to you and addressed if you choose to do it. I'm thinking about performance too. Users will strongly dislike if app works too slow, or drains too much battery. As a winner of regional ACM ICPC programming contest, which is focused on creating fast and memory-efficient code in short time, I have great understanding where app may actually lose speed, it won't happen, app will work great. Communication is also good part, I can adapt to nearly any time zone you want. Apart from knowing Android, I can program Flash 2D games too. I prefer to use Flashpunk framework for it, as it is very fast to create games using it. Also you may be possibly interested in C++(with Qt if needed), or Game Maker from me, can do it too. Hire me today - you will not regret.

While studying sound engineering & acoustics and being a passionate programmer, so far I've developed some desktop apps(Java/JNI/C/C++) and one applet (Java & SQL), mainly based on speech intelligibility tests and designed for hearing impairment diagnostics & hearing aids fitting/comparison.My other software was for doing some extensive signal processing (for example, spatial filtering & beamforming with multichannel recordings ~ for my bachelors degree in acoustics) and other custom manipulation on audio data (C#, Matlab), but ~sound~ is not my only point of interrest. I like to code tricky stuff, not only sound-focused, and I'm familiar with other areas & API's like Qt, Direct3D, DirectSound, OpenGL, OpenAL, winmm or nvidia CUDA, so far due to my home-alone, hobby-oriented, non-commercial experiences. Always wanted to develop games/scientific applications/utils, but I'm open for any offer that could make the world a better place ;)

|Minimum Stay
|3 nights
This charming classic clapboard cottage on the South Arm of beautiful Lake Charlevoix is situated in the heart of Northern Michigan's Water Wonderland. Nestled in the woods and on the lake, this spot is quiet and cozy! This delightful little red gem has a sandy beach for superb swimming and beach fires, a dock for fishing, a screened in sleeping porch, and the great out of doors all around. Also, a bar-b-que is provided.
Sleeps 6. The master bedroom has a queen bed, private bath, two windows that face the lake and a walk-in closet. The sleeping porch, which also faces the lake, has two built-in single beds, ideal for kids or anyone under 6ft. tall. The living room has a queen size hide-a-bed and a queen size futon. The main bathroom is off of the living room and has a shower, along with a washer and dryer.
The family kitchen is large, cheery and well stocked; great for family gatherings, board games or just hanging out.
Other gathering spots include a lovely old fashioned garden with 4 adirondack chairs and an umbrella, a very large shaded lawn, a great sandy beach and of course, the dock!
Dog friendly!
A great place to relax, read, play, fish, swim, shop, dine in or out and make memories with your family and friends.
Keywords: Lake Front, classic cottage, cute, swimming beach, deep water dock, sailing, boating, fishing, water sports, biking, beach fires, woods, privacy, close to town, shopping, day spa.
Great granddaughter of original owners and granddaughter of original builders. I live near by and am the caretaker along with my brother (who also lives in Charlevoix) and our families.
Karen Hadley purchased this cottage in 1937
This cottage is my family heritage and is where my favorite lifetime memories were created. We grew up here during the summers enjoying camp fires, s'mores, swimming, fishing with my mom, waterskiing, reading under the shade trees and just plain being kids. Every day was an adventure! As an adult, I appreciate this unique setting even more. We would like to share this with you so that you and your family may create similar memories.
As you drive down the tree shaded drive, you can spot Mimi's red cottage at the end of the road. You step out of your car and take in a deep breath of fresh lake air. Walk through the garden into the country kitchen and immediately feel right at home. Don't bother to unpack, instead head down the expanse of lawn right to the lake. Walk out to the end of the dock, take another deep breath and RELAX! Your vacation has now begun!
We just came back from an absolutely wonderful stay at the cottage. 4 people and a dog. What a fantastic stay. The cottage was great, cabin atmosphere, quiet, very relaxing. Swam off the dock, cooked out by the lake, slept on the porch, etc... Great time. I have summered on Charlevoix for the past 7 years, and this was by far our favorite vacation. My wife said that if it not for the kids, she would have cried when she had to leave... she loved it so much. Thanks for the great time!
We booked after reading the reviews on this website. It was everything advertised and much more.
We brought our black lab she didn't want to leave the water!
Owner and family are very nice. Hope to come back again this year.
We loved the cabin. I take my store managers on a fishing trip every year and this was one of the best trips to date. Erveryone had a great time. The cabin was perfect. We had everything that we needed for an enjoyable weekend. If we decide to return to this area for next years trip we would like to stay here again.
We enjoyed our time at Mimi's cottage. The cottage is unique, interesting and comfortable. The location is fabulous on Lake Charlevoix. and the hosts were very friendly and welcoming. We hope to return to this wonderful place.
Our family had a wonderful vacation in this cottage! The setting is beautiful!! The dock is fantastic for swimming and fishing. The owners were very helpful and easy to work with. We hope to be back next year!
If you have ever filed a complaint at the Ritz Carleton that the bon-bon's were room temperature, this may not be the right place for you. If you want to take your family for a true vacation to actually spend QUALITY time together this is the right place. The cabin is authentic 1930's era fishing cabin, it has a charm to it that you will appreciate and it was quite comfortable for our family of four. Here our our notes we made for the next visit.
The kitchen is well stocked with the basics, we made dinner every evening without needing something that wasn't there. Only complaint was the coffee maker was slow to brew, but no biggie.
Bed's were comfortable, the boys loved the sleeping porch.
We hesitated to bring our two dogs and left them at home, but regretted that all week. It is very pet friendly.
If you bring a boat, there is great trailer parking in the lot just West of the house.
The dock is a bit rough, you will need to moor against pylons which can be tricky. (Bring a board for your fenders).
The water in the lake is absolutely beautiful. Visit the shipwrecks in Oyster Bay and bring snorkel gear - the boys loved snorkeling around the two sunken schooners that were built in the1860's We visited the Historical Society to learn all about them.
Campfires on the beach under the stars was truly awesome. Bring S'mores
The TV only gets a 2-3 channels, there is a VCR
Cell coverage is one bar for Verizon and Sprint in the house but full 4G signal by the dock. There is no land line.
Beach was very nice and great for the kids.
Full size Washer and Dryer was a plus
Castle Farms is nearby with activities / shows/weddings every weekend. Strawberry, raspberry picking nearby at Kitely's farm. The Jordan River is great for canoeing and tubing. Lake Charlevoix is wonderful for swimming, fishing, skiing, kayaking, sailing, and most water sports. Petoskey stone hunting is a favorite past-time.
