I found some of these I'm pretty sure is there a way i can send you a picture to have you verify?
Angel Wings Mushroom
Angel Wings (Pleurocybella porrigens) are one of my favorite wild mushrooms, if nothing else just for their beauty. There's something surreal about walking through a lush green forest, dampened by a recent rain, and suddenly spotting blotches of celestial white against the vibrancy of a moss colored tree. Just simply beautiful.
But Angel Wings have other characteristics of beauty as well. They taste wonderful! But be careful when you clean them, as they are very delicate and fragile.
How To Identify Angel Wings Wild Mushrooms
- Grow in the Fall on rotting conifers throughout the Pacific Northwest and other Northern regions
- Grow in a shelflike pattern on trees, stumps, or logs
- Are bright white in color when fresh
- The cap is small, only 1″ – 2.5″ wide, and have a fan-shape to them, though occasionally you may find one over 4″ wide
- They don't have a stalk, or if they do, it is just a stubby little base
- They have gills which are white and close together which run down their stubby base (if present)
- They do not have a veil, ring, or volva
- Spores are white
They look a lot like a very white, small Oyster Mushroom, but are much more delicate and thin. They are easy to find, easy to identify, and easy to harvest. Just make sure you are able to 100% identify them so as to avoid any form of potential mushroom poisoning.
Edibility of Angel Wings Wild Mushrooms
Please make the effort to learn this mushroom. It is a wonderful gourmet treat any day of the week! They are very mild, have a very clean aroma, almost like the smell of moss, and are slightly sweet. They're fantastic sauteed in butter with a little salt and pepper.
But as with all wild edibles, be wise and don't eat large quantities at a time. Wild mushrooms, even those long proven to be edible, can cause physical distress and, in rare situations, physical harm/death.
How to Preserve Angel Wings Wild Mushrooms
Angle Wings are too delicate to dry, but I have found that if you saute them in butter and then freeze them, they are just as good thawed and recooked as fresh. In fact, the mossy sweetness seems to come out more during the freezing for some reason. They are exceptional scrambled up with some eggs this way.
The Bald Gourmet loves mushroom hunting. Gathering delicious gourmet treats in the woods, like Angle Wings Mushrooms, is wonderful.

Hello! I have linked my blog post on Angel Wing mushrooms to your post about same. Could you link to my post? Thank you for your thoughtful consideration. https://ericexplores.wordpress.com/2017/04/22/im-almost-sure-these-are-not-poisonous/
[…] attributed. Mycological societies tend to share stats like that. In addition, I found a post from The Bald Gourmet about angel wings from 2011, regaling their delicate flavor when carefully […]
I was looking for a good site to send to a friend for ID of Angel Wings. This worked great! I've picked these on and off for years. Usually I have a huge bag of Chanterelles so I don't bother with these. However, over the years, I've found that mushroom soups are better the more varieties of mushrooms you add. I collected about 2 pounds of these recently and added them to a Hungarian mushroom soup with 3 pounds of chanterelles. I loosely based it on the recipe from Rainforest Mushroom Company. They have some great recipes on their site! I'm eating the soup now and it's heavenly!
Thanks for the write up, it was very helpful.
Well hello from Maine,
First just let me say, I love your website. I was wondering if you might be able to tell me anything about chestnut mushrooms? I found a cluster of what I believe to be them, last week. When I went back this week, there were tons more. I know if they are the chestnut mushroom, this will be a great find. The ones I found have a chestnut colored cap with a white film on it that rubs off. The stem is off white and the spore print is kind of a brownish purple if you will. Any info on these would be greatly appreciated.
I pick many of these every year as they are easy to identify and taste excellent. I wash mine then pat dry on towels then transfer them to dry towels and let them sit overnight to dry a little. Then the next day dice them up and saute them in sesame oil. They take on the sesame taste but combined with the slightly sweet earthy flavor. Then I freeze them in small containers and use them in everything from my morning omelets, adding to soups and stews to using them as a side during dinner. I love them, they are my favorite wild mushroom that I have access to here in the North Coast area of British Columbia.
i found some of these in Quebec but they had a really fishy smell while I cooked them. Is that normal? I was freaked out and tossed them, it was disappointing because they looked great.
Those may have been regular oyster mushrooms. They look similar only they smell fishy.
Pic them up this morning on the stump in central PA. Smells like fish. Saute it with onions,
smell is gone. Already ate them with mr. Johnny Walker, a good friend of my. Let you know tomorrow,
how the things are (with any luck)…
I enjoy angel wing mushrooms. Great pictures and descriptions on how to find them and where. I enjoy cooking them with or without condiments. They taste good cooked plain. They go good in eggs, or i love to put them into a vegetable medley, i saute, including spinach and cabbage and kale, with some oyster sauce, other veggies also.
I also sell those and chantrelles in season if interested.
I found something I thought might be angel wings on a hemlock stump but the caps are up to six inches across – does that rule out them being angel wings?
One more poisoning case has recently been reported in Japan. A 20-year-old man who has no kidney disorder was taken to the hospital with acute encephalopathy on 30th Sep 2014. He is getting better in the hospital and now in stable condition. The authority rewarrned people not to consume the mushroom even if they have no kidney syndrome.
The regionality of angel wings poisoning is not clear. It has been suggested that the poisoning outbreak on 2004 in Japan is not caused by transformation or mutation of mushroom rather than by a change of the reporting criteria regarding acute encephalopathy. In 2003, the infectious disease control law in Japan was amended that medical institutions were obligated to report acute encephalopathy cases to authorities. (The amendment was conducted to counter with SARS pandemic and anthrax terrorism which were problems around that time.)
[…] all kinds of delicious species of edible mushrooms from the wild; Chanterelles, Morels, Hedgehogs, Angel Wings, and […]
I tried to sauté these angel wings and they turned gray some of them.
ANy thoughts on that. Is it normal? Seem to taste good but not too pretty.
On another not I too have a hard time telling the difference between oyster mushrooms and angel wing mushrooms
I harvested about 2 pounds of angel wings today in Wrangell, Alaska and when i got home i washed them lightly and placed them in my dehydrator as i do with a few other mushrooms i pick and they started turning black is that ok or are they not any good anymore I have never had this happen with other mushrooms before
Picked about 3 pounds this week end on my property near Cadillac MI. Brought about a pound home 2 weeks ago and dried them. They are very early this year, going back up next week end and hope to find more. At this rate, I'll have enough to last the winter just in time for the oyster mushrooms.
[...] sign I had that it was going to be a good day was this beautiful flush of oysters, of the white "angel's wing" variety, just across the road from our dining hall. In fact, it was one of several flushes of [...]
[...] enough berries and peas to nibble. On the way back we found more mushrooms. This time there were Angel Wings (they looked like oysters to me). Our host was a bit worried about us eating those. She actually [...]
It should be noted that a percentage of people are allergic to the Angel Wing mushrooms and while there have been no reported deaths in the U.S. there have been 59 cases of people getting sick and 18 fatalities related to consumption of this species in Japan. All patients were elderly and it has been hypotesized that the deaths were related to consumptions of large amounts and compromised kidney function in the unfortunate victims (http://www.namyco.org/publications/mcilvainea/v20/pleurocybella_toxin.html).
I found these mushrooms as described by the author (quite delicious with a slightly sweet aroma and sweet mossy taste), however my partner experienced quite significant GI cramps for 12 hours commencing within an hour or so of our consumption. Based upon her reaction, I would highly recommend eating only a small test amount first to see how you react. This is good basic advice when eating any new species you haven't consumed before.
I love hearing from my readers, so please go ahead and leave a comment!

The Beautiful People Breaking Up? That Would Really Suck!June 30, 2010
What's up, Bleaches?
Time is of the essence, so let's bleach it!
The Beautiful People have been cleansing TNA of ugliness for over two years now. But it seems like the recent reign of the group over all the other TNA Knockouts is finally coming to an end.
There has been a lot of bickering and animosity going around in the stable, especially between the front runners of the group, Velvet Sky and Madison. It showed during last week's episode of TNA Impact, when Rayne and Sky were backstage and Rayne was looking at her new hairstyle (a crappy hairstyle) in the mirror and making fun of Lacey.
I think that this was actually the first time where Velvet didn't care about what Madison had to say and didn't find her joke funny at all. Madison ran up to her, grabbed her cheeks, and acted very surprised when Velvet didn't laugh at her joke. Velvet slowly took Madison's hand off her with a serious look on her face.
Madison didn't care how serious she looked and said that if she didn't get her head in the game, then she would be carried out on that stretcher tonight.
Via SEScoops.com, I read that TNA is planning for Velvet Sky to turn on Madison Rayne at Victory Road, when Rayne defends her Knockouts Title against Angelina Love at the event. There's also talk that Velvet will team back up with Angelina for The Beautiful People. No word yet what will happen to Lacey Von Erich.
Quite frankly, I would love it if Angelina turned heel and joined back up with the The Beautiful People, but I'm not sure if Madison Rayne has what it takes to pull off a face turn either. They should kick Lacey out of the group and bring Angelina back into the fray of things, because the group never really recovered when Angelina left and bringing her back in would make the group a lot more credible again.
All comments and likes are welcome.
That's it for me, Bleaches!

If the wind would have got it and pushed it onto the rocks, … I was actually more concerned they would end up on the rocks and then the boat would get pushed up and people could get injured pretty seriously right there. —American Fork Fire Capt. Ben Anderson
AMERICAN FORK — They thought they would just be testing their new boat.
Instead, American Fork Fire Capt. Ben Anderson and firefighter Josh Rich ended up putting their department's new rigid-hulled inflatable boat to actual use Monday when they witnessed a ski boat with seven children become swamped on Utah Lake, right in front of them.
"As soon as they turned into the harbor, a wave came over the back, stalled out their motor, swamped their boat, they started to sink," Anderson said.
The incident happened about 7:30 p.m. outside the American Fork Boat Harbor. A storm was developing with sustained winds of 20 to 30 mph, creating 5- to 6-foot swells on the lake, Anderson said.
There were four adults and seven children on board, including an infant. All of the children had life jackets on.
"There were three or four that were just floating in the water that we had to pick 'em up and pull them in. They were holding on to debris that had come out of the boat," Anderson said.
The firefighters sprang into action and quickly provided a tow-rope to the boaters and attempted to pull the swamped ski boat ashore. But about 20 yards from the shore, the line failed.
"At that point, the boat started going under. So we turned (our) boat around and started transferring kids onto our boat," he said.
The biggest concern was the possibility waves would push the ski boat against the rocks on shore.
"If the wind would have got it and pushed it onto the rocks, I was actually more concerned they would end up on the rocks and then the boat would get pushed up and people could get injured pretty seriously right there," Anderson said.
While the boat did not completely sink, only the wakeboarding rack and bow remained out of the water.
The American Fork firefighters had called for help from the State Parks Service and Utah County Sheriff's search and rescue. Eventually, the boat was pulled out of the water. There were no serious injuries.
Normally, the state handles all boat rescues on Utah Lake. But state officials were busy towing other boats at the time due to the storm.
"It was just fortunate we were in the right place at the right time. It was just coincidence we were out there," Anderson said. "It was the luck of the draw we ended up being out there.
"Had they been out in open water and had to wait for people to get there, especially with those kids, even in life preservers, it could have been tragic. They could have lost lives out there."
The incident was a good reminder, Anderson said, for all ski boat owners not to delay getting off the lake at the first sign of a storm.
"As soon as you see those storm clouds coming up over the mountain, it's a good idea to get your boat in, because those ski boats sit so low to the water that it doesn't take a lot to get swamped," he said.

Here is the week 9 edition of the 2013 Heismanpundit Heisman Watch. After taking into account the games played so far, these are the players who have the best chance of actually winning the Heisman. I'm certain at this point that the Heisman winner will come from this group. This is not a prediction of the final order of the race, nor is it an endorsement of who would or should win if the vote were held today. It's a long view of the race that takes into account schedule and statistical trends.
1. Marcus Mariota, So., QB, Oregon
Mariota kept rolling against Washington State, piling up 394 total yards and three touchdowns in three quarters of play. He remains the front runner in this race and has a chance to pull away from the field with big games against UCLA and Stanford in the next few weeks. He had his first turnover of the season against the Cougars, but his overall touchdown-to-turnover ratio is still an astounding 29 to 1 (he has yet to throw an interception). He's on pace to have 52 total touchdowns and over 4,700 yards of total offense by the time the Heisman vote is due, which would be one of the great seasons in college football history. As long as Oregon keeps winning and he keeps performing at this level, he'll remain the strong favorite in this race.
Last Game: 23/32, 327 yards, 2 TDs, 0 Ints, 8 carries, 67 yards, 1 TD in a 62-38 win over Washington State
Season Stats: 123/197, 2,051 yards, 62.4%, 19 TDs, 0 Ints, 181.72 rating, 49 carries, 493 yards, 10.0 ypc, 9 TDs
Next Opponent: No. 12 UCLA
Projected stats by time of Heisman vote: 3,809 passing yards, 35 TDs, 910 rushing yards, 17 TDs
2. Jameis Winston, QB, Florida State
Winston's eye-popping numbers look even more impressive after passing for 444 yards and three touchdowns in FSU's 51-14 thrashing of No.3 Clemson. He now has a chance to become the second-straight redshirt freshman to win the Heisman. Indeed, the only thing keeping him from leading this race right now is the fact that he is a first-year player who is still making himself known to the broader college football world. If the Seminoles make it through the season unscathed, he'll benefit greatly from the 'return to glory' meme that will no doubt dominate the discussion. FSU is a traditional Heisman power that has gone through hard times during the last decade so Winston will get a lot of credit for bringing the Seminoles back. At this stage of the race, he looks like a lock to go to New York as a finalist. If Mariota has a major slip up and he finishes strong, he'll likely become FSU's third Heisman winner and first since Chris Weinke in 2000.
Last Game: 22/34, 444 yards, 3 TDs, 1 Ints, 1 rushing TD, in a 51-14 win over No. 3 Clemson
Season Stats: 112/157, 1,885 yards, 71.3%, 20 TDs, 3 Ints, 210.41 rating, 43 carries, 137 yards, 3 TDs
Next Game: North Carolina State
Projected stats by time of Heisman vote: 4,082 passing yards, 43 TDs, 6 Ints, 299 rush yards, 6 TDs
3. Bryce Petty, QB, Baylor
Petty had another amazingly efficient outing as Baylor destroyed Iowa State, 71-7. The Bears have now scored 70 or more points four times this season and stand at No. 6 in the AP poll, their highest ranking since 1980. Petty is arguably having an even better season than Robert Griffin III had when he won the Heisman two years ago. If he can lead Baylor past Oklahoma, he'll start to get some serious Heisman buzz of his own. Voters are waiting to see what kind of player he is against quality competition and Baylor's November schedule gives him the opportunity to prove himself.
Last Game: 23/31, 343 yards, 2 TDs, 0 Ints, 1 rushing TD in a 71-7 win over Iowa State
Season Stats: 103/145, 2,023 yards, 70.8%, 15 TDs, 1 Ints, 221.83 rating, 24 carries, 51 yards, 5 TDs
Next Game: at Kansas
Projected stats by time of Heisman vote: 4,046 passing yards, 30 TDs, 2 INTs, 102 rush yards, 10 TDs
4. AJ McCarron, QB, Alabama
McCarron had another efficient game this past Saturday, throwing three touchdown passes in a blowout of Arkansas. He remains the 'break glass in case of emergency' candidate, meaning he's the reliable option for voters if the other candidates in the race all mess up. With games against LSU, a resurgent Auburn, plus the SEC title game still on the schedule, the potential is there for him to make a late run at the trophy despite having modest production.
Last Game: 15/21, 180 yards, 3 TDs, 0 Ints in a 52-0 win over Arkansas
Season Stats: 126/182, 1,587 yards, 69.2%, 14 TDs, 3 Ints, 164.56 rating
Next Game: Tennessee
Projected stats by time of Heisman vote: 2,951 passing yards, 26 TDs, 6 Ints
5. Sean Mannion, Oregon State
Mannion had another huge game over the weekend, throwing for 481 yards and four touchdowns against California. He remains on pace to have over 5,000 yards and 50 touchdown passes by the time the Heisman vote is due. Now comes the real test as the Beavers face the most difficult part of their schedule, starting with Stanford on Saturday. Mannion has a chance of getting to New York if he maintains his production at its current level while leading the Beavers to an upset win or two.
Last Game: 35/45, 481 yards, 4 TDs, 0 Ints in a 49-17 win over California
Season Stats: 229/334, 2,992 yards, 68.6%, 29 TDs, 3 Ints, 170.66 rating
Next Game: Stanford
Projected stats by time of Heisman vote: 5,124 passing yards, 50 TDs, 6 IntsPowered by Sidelines

Berkeley publishes draft SARS response plan
19 August 2003
|SARS resources
|UC Berkeley
• Q&A for international scholars and their campus contacts
• Campus SARS procedures for students, faculty, staff and visitors
• SARS exposure assessment form (PDF)
• Information on visiting or returning from a SARS-affected area (PDF)
• UHS offers guidelines to help identify potential SARS cases

• SARS links from the UC Berkeley Public Health Library
Educational impact
• UC Berkeley lifts some limits on summer enrollment
• Outbreak prompts changes, cancellations in programs abroad
• Advice for travelers about SARS from the CDC
The UC Berkeley SARS task force has created a prevention and response plan to help the campus – and other institutions – cope with the advent of public health threats like Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome.
The plan, published in draft form on the Web, outlines the steps the campus would follow in the event of another SARS outbreak, either overseas or closer to home. It details protocols applicable to students, faculty, staff and visitors, both on campus and in the surrounding community. It is intended to be helpful as a guide in coping with outbreaks of other infectious diseases that may arise in the future.
UC Berkeley has been monitoring the SARS situation since the disease erupted in Asia in the spring of 2003. Chancellor Robert M. Berdahl created the SARS task force in April to coordinate the campus's response to the disease. The SARS Public Health Response Working Group, a subcommittee of the task force, spent the summer drafting the response plan, which is based on guidelines and recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization.
Although SARS appears to be contained for now, UC Berkeley officials remain committed to being prepared should it return. As part of that effort, information on the status of the SARS outbreak, the campus's response and reminders of where to go for information are being made available to students and others as they return to Berkeley for the fall semester.
The draft SARS Prevention and Response Plan is another step in that planning process. Campus officials opted to share the plan publicly so that it could be improved through the comments of reviewers, and so that other educational institutions and organizations might benefit from UC Berkeley's experiences.
Public comment on the response plan is invited. Comments should be sent to Tomás Aragón, director of the UC Berkeley Center for Infectious Disease Preparedness, at firstname.lastname@example.com.

June Davis is not a person who lives in fear. However, she knows that living by herself means she might need help someday if she should fall or get hurt. So, she signed up for the "Are You Okay?" program that started up in October within the Humboldt Senior Resource Center, a collaboration with the Humboldt Bay Fire District.
"It reassures me. And it's a pretty good deal. It's only $12 to sign up. That's nothing," Davis said.
Already serving seniors in Arcata and Fortuna through their police departments, "Are You Okay?" is a computer program that automatically calls up registered seniors at a set time to make sure they are able to answer the phone.
The program is now serving the Eureka area through the Humboldt Senior Resource Center, and Michael Blackwell, nutrition and activities program manager at HSRC, says that participants will hear a voice asking them to press a number on their phone. The number changes with each call so that the response does not just become automatic.
"The idea is that we want to make sure the person is coherent and not just automatically pressing the same number each time," he said.
This telephone reassurance system will try calling three times before an alert is issued. Volunteers are on call Monday through Friday to take action if there is no response.
In the case of an unresponsive client, a volunteer will call in person to find out if there was an error. If there is still no response, the volunteer staffer will call the listed emergency contacts that are provided by the client. If those contacts do not know of any reason for a lack of response and are living nearby, they will be asked to check on the client. If they cannot help, the volunteer will call emergency services.
"It's only a one-time fee of $12, and that lasts for six months or 20 years," Blackwell said. He is hoping that more seniors will take advantage of this valuable service. Currently, he says, there are only five seniors signed up for it in Eureka.
"This service is good for seniors living alone, and it's also good for those who are caretakers and living with someone, but could become suddenly unable to respond or become incapacitated themselves," he said.
Another aspect of the service is provided by a grant from the Rotary Club of Eureka. The group donated funds for key boxes that can be mounted to the wall outside a home, which contain a key to the premises guarded by an access code that is held in the computer system. Access to a residence with a key helps prevent forced entry, which can be damaging to property, and costly. Participants can also receive a "vial of life" -- a small container for medical information to be kept in the freezer for easy access by emergency responders.
One problem Davis has with the program is that there are no volunteers currently signed up for weekends or holidays. "If I fall down on a Saturday or Sunday, I'm out of luck," she said.
RSVP is currently looking for volunteers to sign up for weekend shifts. The amount of time is very small. It simply means being on call in the morning hours to check the computer program and make sure there are no alerts. If you are interested in helping out, please contact RSVP at 442-3763. Peace of mind for seniors living alone is priceless.

London, Jan 15 (ANI): A new dating website has been launched where single parents can find love with the help of their sons and daughters.
Websites like mysinglefriend.com already exist where lonely hearts can search for romance with the help of their friends - but mylovelyparent.com is a place where sons and daughters can play cupid.
The site was launched last month by Matt Connolly, 35, after he wanted to help his own mother find love.
He told the Daily Mail that the inspiration for the website came from his mum - a very lovely lady in her 60s, who has been single for too long.
Early last year she asked him if he could help "find her knight in shining armour," he said.
He looked at a number of different online dating sites and couldn't find any that he wanted to recommend to her. So he decided to set up www.myLovelyParent.com.'
Matt said he wanted to create a website that is fun and easy to use but also safe - all profiles are checked and vetted before going online.
The profiles are only visible to other members and personal email addresses are not shared.
All the profiles are initially set up by the younger generation (who must be at least 18 years old), who can sign up on behalf of a single, older relative (typically their parents but it could also be an aunt, uncle or friend).
Their parent is then sent an invitation to join the website - which is free for the first three months - and expand their profile, then use it to meet like-minded people.
Sons and daughters can recommend other members to their parents for a potential date - but it's then up to the parent to decide if they agree with their child's suggestion. (ANI)

In the run-up to the event, Randy J. Hunt did a short interview Allan Chochinov of Core77 about the event's aims, and how designers employ wit, irony—even subversion—in the service of making a connection with their audience.
The biggest issue, in my mind, is that humor is so culture specific and culturally bound. Americans, Italians and Brits have a very different sense of humor, and there are many variations within these countries as well. So it is an extremely complex issue and not at all easy to standardise and implement in design.

My husband and I are both retired. He retired from our great Army after 20-plus years of service and I finished a career with the federal government in 2006. Our goal for this condo is the retire here one day in the very near future. Until then, we enjoy our home in Wentzville, Missouri and take pleasure in lending our 'home-away-from-home' to guests. Enjoy!
Fran Ey purchased this condo in 2002
We fell in love with Destin and all of its amenities - emerald-Caribbean waters, the whitest sands on the planet and the easy-going beach lifestyle. Our condo is convenient to all of the restaurants; bargain-shopping outlets and the beach that we decided to buy this condo for rental purposes so our special guests can enjoy the pleasures of Destin, Florida.
The unique benefits of our property are that we are on the first floor (a corner unit) - no stairs! Also, we are mere steps from the beach. Our unit is tastefully decorated and close to all of the fun that Destin has to offer! Cancellations must be done not later than 30 days of arrival date. No refunds will be provided with less than 30 days cancellation notice.
This was above our expectations. In 10 years every rental stated full equipped with kitchen supplies. This one had it all, full set of dishes, pots an pans, baking wear, and there were even some cleaning supplies under the kitchen sink. Pool right out the back door. Beach was not up to par, had lots of algea in the water. Even though a big storm came through, we enjoyed relaxation. The sliding screen door, broke off at the roller, called Fran, someone came out picked up the door and the next day they put up a brand new screen door. We'll be back.
Very nice updated condo. Our family enjoyed it! Very close to the beach, and had owner was very helpful! Can't wait to return.
Loved staying in this condo. Clean , quiet and comfortable. Equipped with everything you need. Loved the pools, hot tub and of course the beach. Close to everything. Our favorite places to go at night were Harbor walk and Baytown wharf. Favorite place to eat (Back Porch)
My husband and I took my daughters here for our family vacation and the weather was great and the fact that the pool was located right outside the front door was PERFECT. The beach was a short walk and the owner was really helpful in suggesting some places in taking my daughters to keep them entertained for the week. We loved our vacation and look forward to booking with you again!
We stayed over Memorial Day for a week. The condo is very nice, clean and well maintained and in a great location. We loved having the heated pool and hot tub very close. It was so close to the beach at it felt like a beachfront condo and we easily carried over beach chairs and lunch everyday. I was concerned about the pool right outside the bedroom however at 10:00 PM sharp everyone went home and it quieted down. The owner was easy to work with and we will definitely stay here again.
We had a wonderful visit. And the location is perfect. Close to shopping and great restaurants. Not far from Destin or the outlet malls. We will definitely visit again.
|Cleaning Fee
|Damage Deposit
Taxes is 12 percent and cleaning is 85.00 dollars. This is not included in the price above. NO smoking or pets are NOT allowed in the condo there is no exceptions....

The DyDo Drink world
From Japan, a nice website to promote DyDo, a soft drinks brand.
Even if I didn't understand a word, I liked the visual experience. First of all because the starting visual reminds me of Sim City, and then because it combines a world of weird characters and small forms of interactions.

text: I've been reading up on salted paper prints, and have just gotten the chemicals in to try a few ($30 for 10 grams of silver nitrate -- whew!). In my reading, I note that the general use is sodium chloride (canning or kosher salt, or technical grade) or ammonium chloride, or a mix of the two. I don't, however, see any mention of people using bromide salts for the salting step, and I wonder why. If I understand this side of things correctly, silver bromide is both more sensitive, and sensitive to longer wavelengths than silver chloride, which would give a much faster print, especially if exposed under light that isn't filtered to remove visible wavelengths. I got a pound of potassium bromide with my recent chemical order -- at the time, I think mostly because I'd forgotten that developers that call for this chemical mostly want tenths of a gram per liter, though I'd also be able to use it in rehalogenating bleach for redevelopment processes. However, a liter of 2% mixed salt solution, equal parts sodium chloride and potassium bromide, wouldn't need a huge amount of the more costly salt and ought to produce significantly faster salted paper. Has anyone tried this? Are there contrast problems, issues with printing-out failures, or other reasons not to use a bromide salt for salting the paper before sensitizing with silver nitrate solution? On a similar note, has anyone tried developing-out a latent image from much shorter exposures on salted paper?

Temple run wallpaper fron game.... Nova launch...
What clock is "COCHICE" (page 3) using. I cant find it anywhere. Also can anyone find that wallpaper (red and black eye). I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks guys.
Is there anyway to get the BLUR Circles widget to work on APEX launcher?
It's called D-clock widget
thank you !!!!!!!
now if only i could find that wallpaper
if you use google images and search red eye wallpaper there's some interesting ones.
Sorry i didnt see these requests, here you are:
Here's mine
no, the only way to get close is the Chrome Rings theme for one more clock
Really sucks that no one has managed to make a true clone of the Moto clock widget... there is one floating around that can be used independent of Blur but it requires a specific vanilla-ish launcher which is very lacking in features (tried to get it to work with Apex and Nova with zero luck).
Very nice; where did you get the icons?
my guess is that the animations involved are so closely tired to the Blur framework...
I hope this is not a dumb question but will widget locker allow you to get animated weather wallpaper on the lock screen like the HTC?
It's on Zedg.net - Road To Mountain
Mine today.
Atom launcher
Hd widgets
City evening view...
Where are the icons at the bottom of the screen from?
Here are my Samsung Galaxy S3 screens.
I am using Atom Launcher. https://plus.google.com/u/0/115591772267657823254/posts
I searched Fantasy Art on Google and picked Images.
Opened one I liked and copied the url, opened in a new window and saved to my dropbox.
Then all I did is opened on my dropbox on the S3 and saved to gallery and it is accessible for a homescreen image.
Just the standard S III TouchWiz icons, nothing special...
I was totally laughing at that original post BTW......WHERE did you get those ICONS they're awesome! (ummm, they are the stock icons that you already have!)
I have GoLauncher installed; that must be why I can't find them. Is there some way to use them?
Awesome thread and amazing screen shots... my head hurts going through all the posts
So many different launchers and other things, I feel lost to know what to get etc Guess that is part of the fun of having this phone
Might be stuck with this setup for awhile. Like it a lot.....
Lock screen... Widget Locker, Digital clock widget, simple text widget, icons made with simple text app, line slider
Main Screen
Simple calendar, Beautiful weather, minimalistic text clock, icons made with simple text app

only thing that sucks ass about this kind of deal is you have to buy something really cheap to get a 49.99 game to 50 bucks so the coupon activates.
That's true. But if can find something for less than a dollar (say a set of buttons or shoelaces on the clearance table maybe?) then you'd be still be saving $9+ dollars. Plus since its total purchase you could have bought a few clearance games too, since its off total purchase and included sale/clearance items.

Roll out the barrel – meet the brewer who drops off his beer by bike
There's no way brewer Joe Kennedy is getting a beer belly â because he delivers all his barrels of ale by bike.
As well as brewing the beer, the 29-year-old goes that extra mile for his customers by hand-delivering the product himself.
He hauls kegs of his Black Economy brew on a 19km (12-mile) round trip to ten pubs so he can negotiate tight streets while avoiding the cost of fuel and parking tickets.
'A lot of the pubs are in tight streets, you've got the cost of fuel and I don't want to have to waste my time appealing parking tickets to the council,' he said.
'I am still learning how to swing it round corners but I haven't crashed into any fence posts and I haven't toppled it over yet.'
The 29-year-old loads his bike trailer with three 72-pint firkins weighing 131kg (289lb) â the equivalent of a small car engine â before heading to Cambridge from his brewery in nearby Harston.
The former self-confessed âBMX hoodlumâ said: âI wanted to be a world champion mountain biker but this is the next best thing.â

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (Oct. 5)
Fifty women delegates from 28 countries, many of them new African nations, were the guests of Israel's Foreign Minister Golda Meir yesterday at Mrs. Meir's annual luncheon for the distaff side of the United Nations diplomatic corps.
Israel's role in extending aid to many new nations was highlighted by a number of the delegates present; Mrs. Meir extended a particular welcome to women representing their governments here for the first time. These included representatives of Cyprus, Nigeria, Senegal, Guinea, Togo, Nepal and Burma.
Representing the guests, Miss Angie Brooks, Assistant Secretary of State of Liberia, delivered the toast in response to a welcoming speech by Mrs. Meir. Mrs. Nonny Wright, of Denmark, one of the guests present, noted the advances made by women in diplomacy when she pointed out that, as a guest at Mrs. Meir's luncheon of this type four years ago, only about a half dozen women diplomats were present.

Poor Results from Fat Grafting Around Eyes - California
I had a fat grafting around my eyes over 5 months ago. The effect has been poor. One eye has triple creases while the crease on the other one is gone because of the puffiness caused by the drapping fat. The doctor told me fat transfer is not permanent and I would need to go back for a refill in 8 to 12 months. I do not plan to go back to that surgeon at all or getting another fat grafting...

It was naturally like that but they only folded triple when I lowered my head while looking up, or when I opened my eyes really wide. :) READ COMMENT
Yup. Fat is all gone, leaving behind is the hallow undereye. So I always look tired because of that. I learned to accept it though. Dwelling on it will just make me obsessed and not doing me any good :) Good luck with your journey. ... READ COMMENT
Fat grafting only last for one year mostly even the procedure is successful and the result is satisfying. If you like the result, it means in about 12-16 months, you will have to go back to retouch it. That's why most doctor will... READ COMMENT

Thunderstorm stops Tiger's march at Bay Hill

ORLANDO, Fla. — Tiger Woods is going to have to wait one more day to try to reclaim No. 1 in the world.
Moments after Woods made a 10-foot birdie putt on the second hole, a vicious thunderstorm packing gusts that topped out at 62 mph interrupted the final round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational and wiped out play until Monday.

Most expect the Colts to take Luck, but Colts owner Jim Irsay told USA Today the pick is "still up in the air."
Stanton, 27, has four years in the league and some experience in this situation. He helped Detroit Lions rookie Matthew Stafford when Stafford broke into the league.
"Obviously, that first overall pick is going to be a quarterback," Stanton said in a conference call Tuesday. "So, it's just a matter of getting in there, getting a good foundation laid down and trying to help that kid out whomever it is."
Stafford said the fact the Colts are starting with a fresh coaching staff could be a help, since everyone – draft picks to 11-year veteran wide receiver Reggie Wayne – will be starting on the same page.
"I think that allows us to all grow together as a core unit," Stanton said. "I was part of that with (Lions coach) Jim Schwartz when he got to Detroit. Our offense was able to progress over three years. You look at the numbers Matthew was able to put up last year, throwing for over 5,000 yards. Our offense in Detroit, because of that communication factor, was so well-oiled, for lack of a better term."
Stanton, who played for Michigan State in college, signed as a free agent with the Jets this offseason, but requested a trade after they acquired Tebow. He had turned down some other offers for a possible No.2 role to take the Jets position which was obviously going to Tebow.
He has no qualms about joining a Colts team that will be picking its franchise quarterback in the draft.
"Whoever the No.1 pick is, people want them to be out there playing," Stanton said. "But if it's not possible because of injury or maybe they're not ready, there are multiple factors, than I have to be able to be ready to go. That's the way I approach it."
Stanton doesn't seem to mind the round-about way he arrived in Indianapolis. The trigger was former Colts quarterback Peyton Manning signing with the Denver Broncos, leading to Tebow's trade to the Jets, leading to Stanton's trade to the Colts.
"The circumstances change every single day with the dynamics involved in this league," Stanton said. "It was a domino effect or almost circular in the fact that everybody was flipping places and moving one over."The Colts' newest wide receiver, free-agent signee Donnie Avery, also spoke with the media on Tuesday. He said he is looking forward to playing with either Luck or Griffin.
He is also excited about working with Wayne, one of the best receivers of the last 10 years.
"It is exciting," Avery said. "I experienced that my first year in St. Louis with Torry Holt. It was awesome. I am really not a vocalist. I really don't like to bother guys, especially guys of their nature. I just like to sit back and observe and pick up everything they do – how they carry themselves on the football field and how they recover from a drop or how they block or come out of their breaks and stuff. It's going to be awesome getting a first-hand look at that."
Avery played two full seasons with the Rams, sat out with an injury and was a backup receiver for the Titans last season. He said he ran a 4.25 in the 40-yard dash coming into the league and feels he can show that type of speed again.
Avery considered the Jets, Vikings, Bears and Dolphins before choosing the Colts.
"They expressed the most interest out of five teams," Avery said. "Coach Chuck (Pagano) called me four or five times and told me how he could get me back to my early years in the NFL, how I can look up to Reggie Wayne and the rest of the guys and how I can fit in this offense.''

Why I am taking part in the Jane Tomlinson 10th Anniversary Challenge
"Are you going to join us then?!" Those were the few, seemingly innocuous words. Trouble is, they came from Mike Tomlinson. On Twitter. It was my fault, for tweeting Mike after I heard that policeman Bob Bowman, a trustee of the Leeds Rugby Foundation, was taking part in the Jane Tomlinson Appeal 10th Anniversary Challenge. This was to involve running the Paris Marathon, cycling from there to London, via Leeds (a distance of about 600 miles) then running the London marathon, without a day to recover. I laughed Mike's reply off. But a seed was sown. The damage was done. A week later I was having a pint (well a couple) with Mike and Siobhan, who works for the Jane Tomlinson Appeal.
As I explained, there were lots of reasons why I couldn't really do the challenge. Work, parliament, the training, the family. So whilst I made clear my admiration - and my temptation to join them - I didn't accept. I don't make promises I can't keep so I just said I would think about it. Trouble is, then I couldn't stop thinking about it.
Being asked to take part in a challenge by Mike Tomlinson is a bit like being asked to climb a mountain with Chris Bonnington or being asked to join a band by Mick Jagger. The challenge itself was a truly daunting one, strangely that was precisely the appeal. In 2009 I did what I said would be my one and only marathon, a lifetime goal achieved, a tick in the box of things you want to do before you die. I did it as part of a '126 Mile Challenge' which meant following it up with a 100 mile walk in one go, a few weeks later. I absolutely meant it when I said I didn't want to do a marathon again, not because it was so awful, it was a great experience, but because there was no point: I had run a decent time and doing another one would not be a big deal. But Mike was asking me to do two. That was a new challenge. With 'a bit of cycling' in between.
I spent the first couple of months after Christmas quickly training, to see if I still had time to get myself into the kind of shape I would need to be in to do one marathon, never mind two. It started badly, with an excruciatingly painful pulled abdominal, the morning after my first hard gym session in several weeks. I thought that was likely to be that and that I wouldn't be thinking much longer about the challenge. But I was able to run within a few days and leaving abs alone for a few weeks, I was back into practically a full training programme, albeit at least a week behind schedule. A couple of months later, it looked as though I could be ready in time to give it a go. So I told Mike and Siobhan.
The final hurdle was to get entry to the two marathons - I was just in time for Paris and got entry as an MP into London, joining a decent number of parliamentary colleagues, who are also running it. I already feel somewhat jealous that they will do it fresh and ready, whereas - if I get that far - I will be doing if having run and pedalled 626 or so miles over the previous 7 days! Then, I was very lucky - and hugely grateful - to get the backing of a number of local companies, who made it possible for me to take part in the Challenge - Evans Cycles, who have provided the bike on which I will attempt the challenge, 2 View Properties in Hyde Park and Hamara Healthy Living Centre, who have covered my costs; Jet 2 who are flying me to Paris to start the challenge, Up & Running, for providing me with my running shoes in which to try to complete both marathons and overall sponsors Lucozade, who are provisig the whole team with energy drinks and gels throughout the challenge. It is down to them that I am taking part and I cannot thank them enough.
So why did I decide that I wanted to do something that will, without doubt, even if I succeed, be incredibly tough, exhausting, deeply uncomfortable and actually painful?
Well in the end, it is down to Jane Tomlinson. It is 10 years since Jane Tomlinson, CBE, ran the London marathon for the first time, the first terminally ill breast cancer patient to complete it. She and Mike then went on to complete a series of increasingly extraordinary feats of endurance and first people across Leeds were amazed and inspired, then people up and down the country then across the world. I met Jane once, briefly, when she rightly was made an Honorary Citizen of Leeds and given the freedom of the city. I was then a Councillor and found myself next to her as we went to get a cup of tea. I simply said hello and smiled. She smiled back. I didn't introduce myself as there was no need to. I was there simply to pay tribute to her achievements and to celebrate them in a formal way as a Council and as a city. I have met a few notable people in my life - the Queen, pop stars, sports stars but never have I felt that I have truly met a great person more when I met Jane. In my opinion, a truly great person is an ordinary person who does extraordinary things. I have never therefore met anyone more truly a great person than Jane Tomlinson and that is itself an honour. To be joining her husband and daughter to celebrate her extraordinary achievements and personality is an honour and privilege that in the end I could not say no to.
Of course I am doing this to try to raise money to support wonderful charities. Firstly, of course, the Jane Tomlinson Appeal, who help children's and cancer charities across Yorkshire, the UK and the globe. There are few families who have not been touched by cancer and mine is no different. My mum's sister, a non-smoker, was taken by lung cancer; my wife's grandmother has battled breast cancer and her grandfather bowel cancer. I am also raising money for the Leeds Rugby Foundation, of whom I am proud to be a Vice President, who work in partnership with the Jane Tomlinson Appeal and promote community participation and work to transform young peoples' lives through the power of sport by fighting social inequality. Finally, on my doorstep but helping children who need help a long way away, I am also raising money for Kidz in Kampz, of whom I am proud to be Patron, who fund programs for children displaced by conflict in refugee camps on the Thai/ Burmese border. I hope I can help a little with the truly extraordinary fundraising efforts of Jane, Mike and Rebecca and the remarkable amount they have raised through their efforts over the years.
I am also doing the Anniversary Challenge because I want to do my little bit, as a Leeds MP, to celebrate the woman and the family from Leeds who have inspired every man, woman and child in Leeds and in Yorkshire. She inspired a city, a county and then a nation.
So I feel daunted by the huge challenge ahead and do not know if I will have the physical ability and mental strength to complete it. But I will try to reflect on the fact that Jane took on amazing feats of endurance whilst terminally ill with cancer and in some cases in great pain. That I simply cannot imagine and it is a level of courage and forbearing that I will never have. But ten years on from Jane's first marathon, I feel privileged and proud to be lining up with Mike and Rebecca Tomlinson, with Bob and with a team of people who feel the same and who want to do their best to achieve a fraction of what she did.
Today I am a proud Leeds MP. Tomorrow, when I line up with my Mike, Rebecca and Bob and the rest of our team, at the starting line of the Paris Marathon, I will just be - and will be proud to be - a member of Team Tomlinson as we attempt to do Jane proud with this, her 10th Anniversary Challenge.
Greg Mulholland MP
Member of the Jane Tomlinson 10th Anniversary Challenge Team, Paris to London, April 2012

Charlie Sheen Tests Negative For Drugs, Seriously [VIDEO]
We've all heard and seen the rants by actor Charlie Sheen lately. Some of us have laughed and some of us have just watched in awe at the downward spiral by the "Two And A Half Men" star. Sheen has admitted to doing drugs in the past, but apparently during his recent media blitz he's been clean.
No, really. Sheen appeared on "Good Morning America" and during his rambling agreed to take a drug test. check out the video to hear from Sheen and to hear the results yourself.

SIX more adult bones have been found as workmen continue to excavate the grounds of Blackburn Cathedral.
Pipe layer Karl Grant and digger driver Paul Coulson, both from Padiham, discovered half a skull, two infant coffins and three adult caskets containing two small child bones and 18 adult bones between Friday and Wednesday.
The bones were from one infant and three adults, dating from the early 1800s.
The workmen also discovered 15 buried gravestones, including famous Blackburn family names.
Blackburn Cathedral archaeologist Graham Keevill revealed that by the end of last week six more bones had been found, all adult.
All the bones will be decently reinterred in the sacred Cathedral grounds and the gravestones displayed in the new clergy court and cloister garden due for completion by the end of next year.
The remains were left behind after the original medieval graveyard was decommissioned in 1858 by Queen Victoria and the bodies were removed to the new municipal cemetery on Whalley New Road.

Joel 2:28-32
28 "And afterward,
I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your old men will dream dreams,
your young men will see visions.
29 Even on my servants, both men and women,
I will pour out my Spirit in those days.
30 I will show wonders in the heavens
and on the earth,
blood and fire and billows of smoke.
31 The sun will be turned to darkness
and the moon to blood
before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD.
32 And everyone who calls
on the name of the LORD will be saved;
for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem
there will be deliverance,
as the LORD has said,
even among the survivors
whom the LORD calls.
Prophesy! Visions! Dreams! It is hard to believe at times that we are to prophesy, see visions and dream dreams, but it's true! God is pouring out His Spirit on ALL of His people in this age. He has created His church in order to fill us with His Spirit to prophesy, dream, and have visions. We are part of this church and this is the right response to the filling of the Spirit. Have you prophesied lately? Then be filled with the Spirit and prophesy. Let's see visions and dream dreams for our missional groups and our campuses as we experience God's outpouring of His Spirit on us, His church. Our God is an awesome and powerful God who saves and delivers us when we call on His name.
Let's pray that we will receive the Spirit fully in our lives today. As we experience the outpouring of the Spirit, we will prophesy, we will see visions and we will dream dreams for His glory in our generation.

5 Firefighters Injured While Battling Blaze At Plain City Commercial Building
Firefighters worked to fight flames and billowing smoke at a commercial printing business in Plain City Thursday afternoon.
The fire at PressWorks, located at 351 Bigelow Ave., was reported shortly before 3 p.m.
Crews from nearly a dozen local fire departments and emergency management agencies responded to the 5-alarm fire.
The intense heat and fire caused five firefighters to be hospitalized. The village spokesperson says three firefighters sustained injuries from the heat and two firefighters were burned from a flashover, which is an quick burst of flames when it becomes heated to the flash point.
The owner of the company says approximately 65 employees were inside the building, but all made it out safely.
Neighbors told 10TV they were shocked by what they watched.
"Smoke (was) billowing out of the side of it, up through the roof. You could see it. Then all of a sudden you see the fire trucks come in and you knew something was wrong… when the electrical went up, it sounded like a million fire crackers. I was worried about the fire boys up on the roof," said neighbor Bryan Temple.
Officials said the fire was contained around 5:30 p.m.
The cause of the fire remained under investigation.

The creation of documents seems to be unstandardised between Python DOMs, unless this has all changed recently. In xml.dom.minidom, the easiest way of doing what you want is as follows: # Set up an example. s = "<doc><node>text</node></doc>" from xml.dom.minidom import parseString d = parseString(s) import xml.xpath l = xml.xpath.Evaluate("//node", d) # Note that the contents of 'l' are DOM nodes anyway. # Contentious way of creating a document. d2 = xml.dom.minidom.Document() # Import the first qualifying node into the new document (the 1 means that # "deep copying" takes place). n = d2.importNode(l[0], 1) # Insert the copied node as the root node in the document. # Note that some DOMs get upset about this because the document creation # process actually creates a root node. d2.appendChild(n) Personally, I've written a small wrapper module to shield me from various differences between DOMs, like that of document creation, for example. From what I recall from a perusal of W3C documentation, I suppose DocumentFragment objects are employed for copying between documents, although I'm not too sure if that is what importNode returns when called.

James Adderley was reportedly a soldier in the Battle of Waterloo. Not much is known yet about him, except that he had at least seven children, the youngest of whom is William Adderley, born 1774 in Salop.
William Adderley married twice and had four children with his first unknown wife and another five with Martha Dyke. After being widowed twice, he moved to Congleton, Chesire.
Most of the information on this tree comes through William's eldest son, John Adderley, born 1828 who married a widow. He had a stepdaughter -- a Mrs. Sarah Copeland -- who lived at 30 Laura Street, Crewe, England, and who sent information on this branch to a William J. Adderley of Wakefield, England. William J. Adderley corresponded regularly throughout the early 20th Century with Mr. John Henry Adderley, late of New York City, New York, USA, and together the two compiled a great deal of information about the various ADDERLEY families from a variety of family members and, to a lesser extent, various genealogical sources. Their information was amazingly accurate, and much of it has since been verified with primary sources.

A Look Ahead: An Early Top 10 for 2009-10
CHN Staff Report
An early look at a projected Top 10 for next year.
10. Lowell — The best news for Lowell last year was that both junior goaltenders — Carter Hutton and Nevin Hamilton — continued to improve from their first two years, and had their best years yet. This bodes well for their senior seasons, in which they will likely — at least at first — split time once again. Lowell had a nice run to the Hockey East final, which has gotten everyone excited, though the RiverHawks have been in this kind of position before — with most everyone back — and disappointed. Here's another shot. NCAAs or bust.
9. North Dakota — There are other possibilities for these last two slots, like Northern Michigan, Boston College, New Hampshire — and particularly St. Cloud State (assuming everyone returns). But North Dakota is a team that has proven to consistently find its way into the Top 10 no matter what, every season, and with junior Chris VandeVelde (and his 18 goals) stating his intention to return, and with goalie Brad Eidsness expected to take a step forward from his .906 save percentage, there's no reason to believe the Sioux can't be back here again.
8. Minnesota — There are two huge keys here, obviously. One, Jordan Schroeder has to decide to stay. He'll be drafted highly in the upcoming NHL Draft, and if he stays, like BU's Colin Wilson did, then all is well. The other is goalie Alex Kangas, who took a big step backward last season, after a pretty good start. Does he become just another Minnesota goalie thrown to the scrap heap? Another flash in the pan that goes nowhere? Or does he turn into a four-year backbone? If those two things work out in Minnesota's favor, it will be fine.
7. Princeton — First, the Tigers have to get over the devastating loss to Minnesota-Duluth in the NCAAs — allowing two goals in the last 35 seconds and losing in OT. Perhaps, they can take some solace in Miami's championship game loss, which was even more devastating just because of the circumstances. Misery loves company. Losing two solid forwards in Lee Jubinville and Brett Wilson is a blow. And if the Tigers also lose Cam McIntyre — being heavily scouted by the pros, but who missed a lot of time last season — then it will be tougher to absorb. But Princeton does have a lot coming back, including goalie Zane Kalemba, a Hobey finalist, and its coach, Guy Gadowsky, which has led Princeton to school records in wins the last two seasons. Last year, Princeton had its first-ever at-large bid to the NCAAs. The only step left to achieve is some NCAA wins.
6. Michigan — Like North Dakota, Michigan always finds its way near the top of the ratings each season, and next year will presumably be no exception. Aaron Palushaj has moved on, which is a blow to the offense, but does anyone doubt others will step up? The real question is in goal, with whether Bryan Hogan will return the Wolverines to Marty Turco-era levels — or even freshman-year Al Montoya levels — or if someone else emerges.
5. Boston University — The defending champs will lose quite a bit of firepower and leadership up front, including sophomore-turned-pro Colin Wilson. The backline loses Hobey winner Matt Gilroy. However, the five other defensemen return, there's plenty of talent remaining up front, more coming in, and Kieran Millan in goal with a year under his belt. It's true Millan could take a step back, like John Muse did at BC after winning, but not a big step — and he'll have plenty of help again.
4. Cornell — The key, clearly, is making sure junior-to-be Riley Nash and senior-to-be Colin Greening return. Cornell already missed an even bigger season last year because of lack of key scoring punch, and losing them could drop Cornell to also-ran status quick. And it's possible either or both could depart (Nash is a first rounder, and Greening is highly regarded by his draft team, Ottawa). If that all comes into place, this could be another one of those seasons like 2005 and 2006, where the Big Red get a couple key non-league wins, roll through the ECAC, and get a very high seed in the NCAAs. Even last year, when Cornell was a No. 3 seed coming in, it managed to get past the first round again, and was tied in the third period with Bemidji State with a Frozen Four bid on the line. Cornell has won six straight NCAA first round games, but only won the Regional Final once. Last year, was the only time they were "favored" among those five losses, which made it that much more disappointing. But they could easily get another crack next season.
3. Miami — Miami is a chic preseason No. 1 pick, thanks to its NCAA championship-game run (and subsequent mother-of-all-devastating-losses). But, remember, the RedHawks only barely made the NCAAs last season, and will lose the services of some good players — namely Justin Mercier and Kevin Roeder. However, with four freshman defensemen coming back, two freshmen goalies returning, and a still-dynamic offense, led by Carter Camper, it is safe to say that Miami should contend once again, and be near the top of the pack all season.
2. Notre Dame — The Irish have a proven formula now for long-lasting, marathon, regular-season success. Their style and work-ethic plays to that. Getting it to translate consistently into the postseason, is a work in progress. But Notre Dame will be near the top again, despite the losses of Christian Hanson, Erik Condra and goaltender Jordan Pearce. The cornerstone defense has five of six players remaining, including All-CHN pick Ian Cole. And the forward losses are better absorbed with a team like the Irish, since their offense is so deep and balanced.
1. Denver — The Pioneers look stacked for a big run, assuming (again) that everyone comes back that's supposed to. Rhett Rakhshani and Tyler Ruegsegger already say they're returning. Throw in the likes of Patrick Wiercioch — who dazzled as a freshman defenseman last year — Marc Cheverie in net, and more scoring punch from Luke Salazar and Kyle Ostrow, and Denver is as healthy as ever. Keeping things in one piece, and keeping it together for a whole season, have been elusive concepts lately for Denver, but it has fewer questions marks and more talent than any team going into next season.

London, United Kingdom, 2008/07/01 - Despite issues such as rising R&D costs, poor reimbursement and a decline in prices, the emergence of new technologies is boosting the Western European in vitro diagnostics (IVD) markets.
While the introduction of automation and integrated platforms has spurred mature segments such as clinical chemistry and immunoassay, new segments such as molecular diagnostics and point-of-care testing (POCT) are driving the overall market growth.
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (drugdiscovery.frost.com), Western European IVD Market, finds that market earned revenues of over $8.54 billion in 2007 and estimates this to reach $12.65 billion in 2014.
"The ageing population has led to an increase in the incidence of diseases such as respiratory and urinary tract infections," says Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Gayathry Ramachandran. "Together with the addition of new countries to the European Union and the implementation of diagnosis related groups (DRGs), this has increased the size of the Western European IVD market."
IVD manufacturers are being forced to invest in R&D because of these demographic changes and an increased incidence of diseases. This will be especially important due to the hike in demand for automated laboratory analysers, as laboratories are under pressure to generate timely results with fewer errors. The quicker turnaround time delivered by automation has enabled the start of immediate treatment of many conditions, thereby fuelling market growth.
"Moreover, the decrease in the labour pool and rising performance costs are pushing laboratories toward automated solutions," Ramachandran says "To remain competitive, manufacturers should continue to develop integrated platforms that can accommodate multiple reagents and detection technologies.
IVD manufacturers need to have greater clarity over market requirements to ensure better returns on investment. They should focus on obtaining a broad product portfolio, offering competitive prices and introducing new technologies to gain market share.
The launch of new markers and high sensitivity and specificity tests will also increase the uptake of IVDs. Another driver for this market will be personalised healthcare, in which patients play a major role in the diagnostic process.
"Despite market growth, increasing industry consolidation is making the market more competitive, escalating the difficulty for small participants to maintain their market shares," notes Ramachandran. "Therefore, strategic partnerships appear vital for these participants to remain active in this market."
Market participants should focus on growth sectors such as molecular assays, immunoassays, cardiac tests and blood glucose measurements to succeed. Germany, Italy, Spain, France and the United Kingdom accounted for more than 80 per cent of sales in the IVD market in 2006.
If you are interested in a virtual brochure, which provides manufacturers, end users and other industry participants with an overview of the Western European IVD Market, then send an email to Patrick Cairns, Corporate Communications, at pcairns_pr[.]frost.com, with your full name, company name, title, telephone number, company email address, company website, city, state and country. Upon receipt of the above information, an overview will be sent to you by email.
Western European IVD Market is part of the Drug Discovery Technologies Growth Partnership Service programme, which also includes research in the following markets: European clinical diagnostics automation markets, European immunodiagnostics automation markets and European POCT markets. All research services included in subscriptions provide detailed market opportunities and industry trends that have been evaluated following extensive interviews with market participants. Interviews with the press are available.

Children can net water insects, identify butterflies, learn about metamorphosis and look at fossils at Paleo Preserve. They can also draw, make pinch pots and watch a butterfly release at noon.
It's free and will be held from 9 a.m. to noon at Camp Bayou, at the end of 24th Street SE in Ruskin.
Free school supplies, including paper and pencils, will be handed out after children complete each station, and free raffle tickets will be handed out for larger items, such as backpacks.
There will also be a "teacher exchange area," where teachers can donate items from their classrooms that they no longer use and pick up items that others have donated.
Camp Bayou is providing some items, such as fish tanks, educational posters and water testing kits.
Families and teachers must register by either e-mailing firstname.lastname@example.com or calling (813) 641-8545.
Adults should include their names, the number of children attending, the name of their schools and their ZIP codes. Teachers should include their grade level and school.
