Murray's Restaurant & Cocktail Lounge
Online Reservations
Always loved the butter knife steak at Murrarys, and tonight was no exception. Great food (love the garlic bread), great service, and the remodel works well. A top pick for me!
Enjoyed everything but the food does have a high salt content / taste. Not over the top, but more than expected.
If you'd like to go to a good place unique to Minneapolis, go to Murray's. We had the Chateaubriand for two carved tableside and enjoyed the convenience of having our soup/salad and side included in our meal. The only problem we had was a noisy table next to us that the wait-staff and management failed to silence or really even attempt to silence, and I feel that this is a real risk when going to this restaurant. Also, we were a few minutes early for our reservation and they made us wait until the reservation time, so be sure to be prompt.
The thoughtful and attentive service was the perfect compliment to the food. Waiter was pleasant and went out of his way to make sure I enjoyed my dinner and wine.
Our server Marcia (41 years of service) was very pleasant. The food was hot, and delicious. The restaurant was clean with a great atmosphere. I would definately eat here again!
On Valentine's Day 1982, my wife of 3 years and I followed a snow plow downtown from Robbinsdale so that we could have a romantic lunch at Murray's. It was a memorable meal in more ways than one. The service was excellent then as it is now and the food was fantastic – then and now. In 1983, I graduated from the U of M and we moved south, never really getting back to the Twin Cities to spend any time. But with a wedding to attend this past weekend, and we having recently celebrated our 35th anniversary, we came a day early just to get back to the fine food and service at Murray's. We won't wait another 32 years to make a trip to this gem in the heart of downtown of Minneapolis! Thanks for the memories!
This is our family place to come. Love everything about Murray's! The food is outstanding, the service is outstanding, I could go on and on. Thanks again for a wonderful evening!!
Friendly and polished staff. A fifties style lettuce wedge with blue cheese was pure comfort food. My steak was perfectly cooked, and the wine list was great.
Great find. I almost went to Manny's but decided to give this Steak restarant a try. We ordered the steak for 2 at $99 and it was a great deal. It included sides and salad. Too much food but I was able to take home. I was there on business but steak was so good, I even took it on the plane with me. I NEVER do that, I usually throw away.
Perfect night, perfect food, perfect service. I've actually been dreaming about that porterhouse I had.
Murray's is without a doubt the BEST steakhouse in Minneapolis. Grab a friend, go to Murray's and get the Silver Butter Knife Steak and savor every bite. You will see what I mean.
Great food and ambiance. The only downside was the initial service. My girlfriend of 3 years and I went to Murray's for the butter knife steak for 2 because we heard it was phenomenal. It was delicious as was expected. However, a difference was notable in our initial treatment compared to other customers. We are both only 21, and the way in which the staff initially treated us was like we did not belong at a nice restaurant. From weird looks to a question about how young we looked, we felt as if the staff did not want us there. This was greatly not appreciated. After ordering the 100 dollar steak and sides adding up to $160, our treatment was noticeably different. Please correct this attitude. Make a customer for life, not the opposite.
Wonderful food and great service. On the very expensive side....
The Silver Butter Knife Steak was incredible, the atmosphere exceptional and our server TJ was a perfect compliment to our celebration.
One can always count on a very good steak at Murray's.
This is *the* special place we go for birthdays and anniversaries. It did not disappoint at this visit celebrating the 35th anniversary of life-long friends. The steaks were *perfect*. The service: first class. Thank you for continuing maintain your high standards, Murray's!
Overall the experience was good, but the steak was not as tender as the Chateaubriand for two which I usually order with my wife. I will continue to frequent Murray's cause I like the ambiance and old world feel.
Great food and service. Lovely ambience. Classy restaurant for a special celebration. Food and service is always dependable and never waivers from being the best.
We had the butter knife steak for two. Real good but so much food!! We'd have taken the leftovers with us for a midnight snack but no fridge at hotel. We started w/seafood chowder & caesar salad-very tasty and fresh. Our steak was very tasty & carved tableside. A very unique, fun way to serve! Augratin potatoes as a side & they were really good. Our server was professional & sweet. She had worked at Murray's for many years. That told us a lot about the character of the owners! We loved the history of Murray's & that the staff would take time to talk with us! We enjoyed it immensely! She brought a complimentary celebration cake at the end of dinner. An absolutely great experience!! Murray's is a GEM! We can't wait to visit again!
We had great food and service at Murray's- as always. It was the perfect way to celebrate our anniversary.
Murray's is top shelf once again. The Silver Butter Knife Steak was awesome and all the sides were excellent.
Outstanding Food, Impeccable Service. Worth every penny! Our Server Matt was one of the best Servers we have ever had. He was very personable and engaging. I had requested a quiet corner table and they seated us in what I felt was the best table in the house. It made our first experience there fantastic and we definitely will return.
First time back to this Twin Cities "Gold Standard" since they remodeled. They did a very credible good, but I have to admit, I miss the old look. Probably more about nostllga than reality. They continue to do a very nice job with quality food and great presentation.
All of my expectations were met. We will be returning soon!
I had the fillet and my husband had the ribeye and both were fantastic the sides were ok, but everything overall we feel was overly salty. I do wish I would have scaled back a bit because all the food was so rich and so salty that I felt very full half way through our meal. The only other thing is the restaurant seemed very noisy and it was hard to hear each other at our table.
I hate to say it and burst all those "Grey Goose Drinking Always Trying to Impress with Nothing to Show For" people that go to Manny's bubble but why pay almost double the price to get an inferior steak! Stop trying to act like you are a heavy hitter while driving a leased vehicle and save your money! Go to Murray's! I have eaten in all the Steak Joints in town and this is the best and most reasonable. Try the Ghost Wings as an appetizer! Outstanding! And service is always awesome! Forget the wanna-bees at Manny's. Dine with the real deal at Murray's! Crab Toast to you!
If you like steak, go for the Silver Butterknife Steak for 2. We've never been disappointed. The garlic bread melts in your mouth.
The steaks are great- staff is knowledgeable about preparation and types of steak. The wait staff is attentive but not fawning, The wine list has both expensive and reasonable wines, and the side dishes and salads are well prepared- their lobster bisque is fantastic!
As a historic restaurant with modern ambiance, Murray's is a perfect choice for that special night out. The silver butter knife steak for two is prepared perfectly, and full of flavor. We also had the French onion soup, it was the best I have ever had. To top it off, our server brought out a chocolate cake to celebrate our anniversary. Even if it isn't a special occasion, have the soup and one of the best steaks you can have.
the imaginative lunch choices makes me want to go back real soon to try the next "imaginative" combination. Lobster/mac/cheese? I've been telling everyone about THAT risky choice cause it was a mmmmgood/wow! This is good! Our wait staff knew we wanted to talk and be left alone so only came to fill our water glasses and be there should we need some attention.
Murray's is our favorite restaurant in the Twin Cities for the food, service, and family own ( no chain) . This restaurant is wonderful for business, romantic, or family occasion. We had an event in St. Paul but ate at Murray's before hand. They were mindful of our time restraint. Our dinner was outstanding as usual. We have never been disappointed.
The service we recieved was fantastic, waiter was very friendly and not an in your face kind of waiter. The food was amazing as well.
Our waiter, Nate, was great! The steak was amazing. The squash was very good. The bread basket...pretzel was wonderful. Loved the wedge salad. We will be back!
This was our first visit to Murray's and it will not be our last. The service along with our food was amazing, our server Dani was the best I have experienced in quite a while.
My sister and her husband were in town from Tucson. I asked if I could take them out for dinner. There was only one place they asked for; MURRAYS! We had an excellent meal! Steaks were as expected ;Outstanding! We were treated like royalty. Hard to find this level of perfection in todays fast paced world. A night that we will remember.
We had a wonderful dinner with VIP Doctors and their wives. Everything was absolutely perfect!!!!!!!!! We always celebrate our own special days with you, also. The flowers we ordered were also very special. Thank you for a perfect evening.
Perfect place for a late lunch with friends. Great food and service.
Had an AMAZING dinner. We had the Porkchops and Walleye with Asparagus and Au gratin Potatoes. Our waitress Marcia was very friendly and helped us make the best decision when it came to martinis to dessert. The garlic toast was definitely my favorite part of the meal. I would definitely recommend this for a nice evening away. A little pricey but well worth it.
Old-school charm, a quality steak, plenty of options for a nice dining experience. The Silver Butterknife was a tad salty, but exactly as advertised. The crunchy garlic toast is a trademark, and has stood the test of time for a reason.
Great steaks and great service. Our waiter Nate was exceptional.
Delicious, perfectly-cooked strip with excellent service. Best Martini around. Everything was brilliant.
We dine at Murrary's for special occassions. The steaks and service were excellent. Pleased with our experince
Like the title says, beef was tender, tasty and cooked very well. Try the french onion soup -- very good! Great MPLS tradition and good for special occasions. Waiter brought over a special chocolate cake for desert after hearing it was my wife's birthday, nice touch.
I have had the best food and some avg meals, you never know, but service is excellent to the point you don't want to complain
If this place ever closed, I would truly cry. I've been going there for 40+ years, ALWAYS had a great meal, and never have had a complaint. Need more information to decide? GO there!
Had our team christmas party there. The food was great. Very relaxed atmosphere, not stuffy at all. I thought the decor was very tasteful and I really enjoyed the dinner.
Always a classy experience. Very freindly staff and patrons in bar. Make you feel at home.
after seating 20mn. to even receive water, very poor service not as i remeber murry's open but not ready to serve people
Food and service was outstanding. Decor was generic and distracted from the appeal of a classic family run steakhouse. The bar renovation is a huge plus to the point of being a destination simply to have a drink and a lighter meal.
Knowledgeable service, great food, pleasant ambiance

very nice setting with a big fireplace and traditional wood panel walls. Nice selection of beers, wines and other drinks. I you want to sit back and enjoy some time with friends or loved ones, it is a nice place Didn't have the food but it looked good from what we saw
Ate here the night we checked in, it was 7 pm. Had a good bar meal, sat by the fire, people watched. A nice, comfortable place.
Arrived mid-afternoon on a Sunday in June and checked with the bellman/valet on his suggestions for the lunch menu at the lounge.

We recently had a family reunion in Niagara on the Lake, and a sizable number of us 12 piled in to the Churchill Lounge.

The Churchill Lounge, perhaps more commonly referred to as the pub in the Prince of Wales Hotel, was a delightful spot for several of our meals over the last weekend.

Keywords are still very important for online searching
I just noticed something today and felt the need to share it. When you go to a search engine like Google and type in a search term, do you know how Google finds pages that have that term? It looks at the title of the page as well as content and keywords within that page. Many say that meta tags are now useless, but of the sites I have looked through that don't have them, they do not rank well in any Google search.
I did a search and was surprised when a site I frequent wasn't anywhere in the first 6 pages of Google, so I went to that site and looked at it. The first thing I noticed was that they only had the name of the company in their title. Without a description of the company, only a direct search for that name will result in a find. The next thing I noticed was no meta tags at all, as well as no where on the page a listing of what the site offered or sold.
THAT is why the site doesn't show up in searches, and that is probably why it doesn't do better in sales than it does. One of the first things I learned when I studied SEO was that you MUST put a description in your site title. My site used to just have "Jude's Place features novels by Jude Liebermann". At least that is better than just having "Jude's Place", but I wanted to let my viewers know that I give away a free romance novel, so I added that to my title. Now, I want my visitors to know I write erotica, so I have included that in my title. It does appear that Google places the most emphasis on the title of the pages it indexes, so it is vital that title be descriptive. So now my site's title is "Jude Liebermann's sensual/erotic romance novels plus free stories", which just about covers everything.
Having the meta tags and keywords in the content are second most important. Just make sure the content matches the meta tag keywords, or Google might slap you down for it. Many sites have tried inflating their meta tags with fake keywords so they get traffic for things they don't even have on their site. Google has adjusted their algorithm to compensate. While I do not believe that means they totally ignore the meta tags, they do check the rest of the page content to make sure they match.
Keep all the above tips in mind if you want to maximize the search potential for your site.

OTTUMWA, IOWA -- Star after star filed into Ottumwa's Bridge View Center Saturday evening to put on a show.
"It is always fun to be apart of TNA Live, especially here in Ottumwa Iowa tonight. They get to meet with some of their favorite wrestlers and we interact with each and every one of them. If it wasn't for the fans, you know we wouldn't have these beautiful jobs," said TNA Wrestler Jeff Hardy.
For the first time ever, TNA Wrestling came to Ottumwa, and these guys knew how to entertain the crowd.
"We don't do a lot of preparation we like to go out there and kind of feel the crowd and go from there and tell a good story ," said TNA Wrestler and Olympic Gold Medalist Kurt Angle.
For the two titans of industry, Angle and Hardy know the pressure on their shoulders to compete, and they do it for their fans.
"There are a lot of young people here a lot of kids that really look up to me and a lot of the other wrestlers and whether they want to be pro wrestlers or pro athletes or doctors or lawyers or teachers you just go to go after your dream," Angle said.
For Hardy, he knows that this profession takes a toll on his body, but it is his passion.
"Its good to think you can go until the wheels are off but I think it is smart not to do that take a break every now and then," Hardy said.
But not just anyone can take on Hardy, as KTVO's Scott Kellum discovered.
"The chance of you taking on me in the ring, maybe hell froze over. I don't know," Hardy said.

News Releases by Email
News Release
Tuesday, March 23, 2010
Media contact: Carli Segelson, 727-896-8626
As of March 19, biologists with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's (FWC) Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI) have documented 431 manatee carcasses in state waters so far in 2010. This preliminary data indicates that in just three months, the number of manatee deaths has exceeded the highest number on record for an entire calendar year, which was 429 in 2009. The cause of death for the majority of these animals is cold stress.
The "cold-stress" category accounts for 222 documented manatee carcasses; however, it is likely the cold temperatures also contributed to many of the 108 deaths in the "undetermined" category and the 64 deaths in the "unrecovered" category.
Manatee deaths are categorized as "undetermined" when biologists are not able to confirm the cause of death, often because the carcasses are too badly decomposed. The "unrecovered" category includes carcasses that are unavailable to scientists, such as when carcasses are found in remote locations.
Unfortunately, the number of recovered carcasses for this year continues to be well above long-term averages. As the rate of cold-related deaths diminishes, FWC staff will begin to focus on determining the long-term implications for the manatee population, a process that could take several years.
The period of prolonged cold weather earlier this year exposed manatees in Florida to colder than normal water temperatures. Exposure to low temperatures over a period of time can cause a condition called "manatee cold-stress syndrome," which can result in death.
"The unprecedented rate of mortality this year is of great concern," said Gil McRae, FWRI director. "FWC staff, partners and volunteers have done a tremendous job working around the clock for weeks recovering carcasses and conducting rescues throughout Florida."
Since the cold weather conditions began to affect Florida, FWC staff and conservation partners have rescued 48 manatees from across the state and continue to respond to reports of distressed manatees.
To report a dead or distressed manatee, call the FWC Wildlife Alert Hotline at 888-404-FWCC (3922).
For additional information about manatee conservation, visit MyFWC.com/Manatee. You can help manatees by purchasing a "Save the Manatee" license plate. The money you contribute will be used to rescue injured manatees and to help scientists learn more about the causes of manatee mortality. For more information, go to www.buyaplate.com.

The Petaluma River, vital to the region's economy in the 1900s, is still active with ships and pleasure craft. The harbor fronts the Victorian downtown district, whose structures survived San Francisco's 1906 earthquake. These sturdy buildings now house antique stores and specialty shops. Visitors to other sections of town might recognize the high school from American Graffiti, filmed here in 1973.

"Great stay if you have a marina view."
We have stayed before and enjoyed the hotel. On checking into our room, we were not excited about the lack of a view. We called the front desk. They at first said the hotel was oversubscribed, but then called back to say there was a different room available. That room looked out over the marina by the hotel, and for us, the difference was substantial […] (at least, it is if you prefer a view of a harbor and boats to a view of the parking lot).

When making my hotel arrangements on Hotels.com they had multiple options for room stays. I choose the deluxe marina king room and paid more for it than a standard room.

"Service below-par"
From the front desk to housekeeping to the restaurant staff, the service was below average. Front desk staff was perfunctory, it did not feel like they actually cared whether guests enjoyed their stay. Housekeeping did not clean our room until we actually called them at 4 pm one day, but on the day of our check out they barged into the room twice even […] before the designated check-out time.

"A Hiccup, A Good Room & A Suggestion"
We booked two rooms here the Saturday night of Memorial Day weekend. It was really the only hotel with any rooms left in either Napa or Sonoma. Even though this was not our first choice it worked out just fine. We booked two non smoking King rooms. Happily that is just what we got, as often we arrive at a hotel and are told "Sorry we are out of King […] rooms. Tough Luck" The front desk was very busy but they attended to us promptly. Check in was pretty smooth with the small exception of a little hiccup. (She wrote down the wrong room number so we went to the wrong rooms first - no big deal) The rooms were large with comfortable beds, nice TVs and a good size mini fridge. Though the bathrooms weren't bad by any stretch of the imagination they could use a little updating. And I know it is a nit picky thing but the toilet paper dispensers in our room would hold the rolls of toilet paper, so they would tip off kilter and would unroll. Your only choice for breakfast at the hotel is the hotel restaurant. Though they have a small gift and coffee-only shop in the lobby, it doesn't sell any small breakfast items like a box of cereal or cup of yogurt. It should for those who don't want the whole breakfast deal. IzvērstPatiesa Expedia viesa atsauksme
"Sheraton Petaluma"
Very convenient location right next to highway but this means it is not pretty like the pictures!! The pool is much smaller than it looks on the website.

I would ask for higher floor next […] time. IzvērstPatiesa Expedia viesa atsauksme

"Hotel listed in Napa area?"
Hotel staff was nice. I received an instant upgrade when I arrived- it was overlooking the water, but was right at the entrance to the first floor rooms, ice machine and service access - so, very noisy and the view out the window has a walkway just out of my window where people walked by and and looked in... Rooms were nice and hotel located between […] napa and San Francisco - but came up when looking for napa and Sonoma area hotels - not convenient access.... Our stay was nice, no wow... Our last impression was watching two "thug-like" looking young men who appeared to hide something and then looked as if they "stashed" something in the dumpster and looked very suspicious as we drove by them - making me think less of the surrounding area...

The staff was very nice. The hotel itself was okay. It was clean and quiet, even though they had a large party there we did not hear a thing.

The Official Online RBS 6 Nations Store is open. The store has everything you need to get behind your team during the RBS 6 Nations, plus the store is now fully stocked with a much wider range of rugby merchandise.
Brown was excellent under the high ball in tricky conditions as Nick Evans kicked all of the points in an 18-9 win while lock Courtney Lawes made his return.
But despite battling for a starting berth in the next RBS 6 Nations along with Alex Goode and Foden, he insisted it wasn't on his mind.
"Not at all, I just focus on each game as it comes and make sure I am doing my job," he said.
"I am paid to catch high balls and put the lads in strong positions so that is all I focused on.
"It wasn't the best conditions so you had to get your basics right to come and get the win."
Another man in England contention, Freddie Burns, kicked all of Gloucester 's points including a 73rd-minute winner in their 18-16 victory over Exeter Chiefs.
Burns will have strong competition from Toby Flood for the No.10 shirt and the 27-year-old kicked 11 points as Leicester Tigers downed London Irish 31-9 away from home.
Former England fly-half Charlie Hodgson produced a masterclass of controlling the game in wet conditions as well as scoring 17 points as Saracens took down Bath 22-0.
And in Friday night's game, Worcester Warriors recorded a vital win against London Welsh in a basement battle as Semisi Taulava scored the only try in a 13-6 victory.

ELECTION 2013: Polls close, turnout on par with past local elections in DuPage
DUPAGE COUNTY – Voting stations opened at 6 a.m. Tuesday, and, so far, officials say voter turnout across DuPage County is on par with previous consolidated election numbers.
DuPage County Election Commission Executive Director Robert Saar estimated a 20.6 percent voter turnout as of 3 p.m., but expects totals to increase slightly after residents get off work.
"So far, these figures pretty much mirror the 2009 Consolidated Election," Saar said. "This is a very average turnout for a consolidated election when the townships are running."

Age of Deceit: Fallen Angels and the New World Order
I am and hour and 45 minutes into the film. I see the light at the end of the tunnel. At this point, I just want to get it done and out there for people to watch. I debated whether I should release it in 15 minute segments as my youtube channel allows and put it out in sections once a week or so. But I just figured getting it done would be better.
At this point, I am pretty burnt out on the New World Order stuff. I've actually started to meet people at my church who are also very much into this kind of research and information. This is a direct answer to my prayer. I was feeling a bit left out and somewhat of an outcast at my church, especially after Branson and the Future Congress where I got to meet lots of like minded people. But the Lord is good! I've met a handful of people who are very much aware of the times we are living in. I turned them to the likes of No Where to Run with Chris White, Futurequake, PID Radio, Tom Horns books and more. I've been telling them to just visit my blog since the links are all over to the right.
But nevertheless, the information about the New World Order and the conspiracy world has gotten me to a point of burn out in light of making this film. More than half of the information I've gathered in the research I've done for the New World Order is not going to make this film. I'm going to store it away since I am sure once I recover from the "No more NWO" fever, I can make shorter videos on particular topics. The other part of it was that I figured most people who do the research already have this information. The film is more of a biblical and prophetic view of the New World Order and the New Age movement more than simply a movie of spitting out facts and history and as such, I though much of the data can be used for different purposes.
Blog to Pod
In the meantime, I've been preparing to turn this blog into a podcast. So far, I've redirected my site, got a new domain (facelikethesun.com), and transfered everything over from wordpress. I'm in the process of putting my first podcast together, so please look out for that. I plan to do a couple things with the podcast. One is just basic stuff, talking about whatever is on my mind, but I also want to get into the bible, verse by verse. I've listened to hunreds of MP3′s and read some really good commentary on the book of Matthew and Luke, but I haven't gone through the entirety of the bible itself in a verse by verse fashion. Thus, the podcast will include me going through the New Testament verse by verse from Matthew to Revelation. Well that's the goal anyway. So my hope is that I get through a few verses in every podcast. It will force me to keep on track and at least have an excuse to put together a show each week. Since I am in no way a bible scholar of any official sort, it will be a chance for me to learn and for people to tune in and listen to the absurdity as I struggle through the verses and ask questions that I won't be able to answer.
God Bless and Praise the Lord!

ASHLEY Adams is resting in London's comfy athletes' village, taking in the views.
He concedes they're pretty impressive but for the wily shooter, nothing compares to the red dirt and sweeping plains back home at his 64,000 acre property, about 1000 kilometres west of Brisbane.
Adams has farmed that land for as long as he can remember - even after a motorbike accident in 1982 left the then 26-year-old a paraplegic.
He took up professional shooting a few years later and went on to represent his country at five Paralympic Games, including London. Rio de Janeiro could be his sixth.
The laconic cattle grazier has made the most of his vast property, spending countless hours outside perfecting the skills needed to become and remain Paralympic material. He can't imagine training anywhere else.
"There's no place like home," the 56-year-old said from London this week.
"I wouldn't want to do it anywhere else.
"I've probably got the best shooting range outside Brisbane and Sydney and it's right beside my bedroom. I think I'm pretty bloody lucky actually."
Adams is convinced living in regional Australia has supported his sporting career. The same cannot be said for others.
An analysis of Australia's Paralympic team has shown just a handful live outside the confines of metropolitan cities.
Despite a third of the country's population living in a rural and regional area, just 28 members of the 161-strong team – roughly 18 per cent, are based in the bush.
Forty-five were born there but about half have since moved to bigger cities.
The proliferation of elite training facilities in larger cities, especially Canberra, has made it increasingly difficult for Paralympians to resist the lure of the capitals. A lack of disability-friendly sporting infrastructure in country towns is also partly to blame.
Australian Disability Sport executive director Tim Haggis said greater support and facilities at a grassroots level would help retain more Paralympians in regional areas. His organisation has been working since 2009 to help remove some of the barriers preventing the disabled from participating in sport.
In 2010, about 68 per cent of people with a disability participated in sport, compared to 79 per cent for people without a disability.
"It's very difficult for small country associations to include people with disability in sport because they probably don't have the facilities or understanding of what's involved and that is where it (a lack of regional and rural Paralympians) would all start from," Mr Haggis said.
The simple barrier of distance could be enough to turn some away from pursuing an elite-performance career.
In Adams' case, flying to national competitions with a wheelchair and heavy equipment became so much of a hassle he now opts to drive the thousands of kilometres to get there and back. Skype and email are critical, to maintain regular coaching and support.
But on the upside, Paralympians born or based in the bush enjoy huge personal support others from the big cities may not.
Two-time gold medal winner Kurt Fearnley, who grew up in the small town of Carcoar in central NSW and now lives in Newcastle, has attained hero status in both.
In Carcoar, the wheelchair racer has had a park named after him and received ticker-tape street parades.
"We had a function for Kurt one weekend and the locals raised $10,000 in one night for a new wheelchair but we've been told one athlete in western Sydney ran the same sort of fundraiser and got just $1200 from the whole of western Sydney," said Fearnley's aunt, Anna Fearnley.
"Kurt's a shining light for people out this way and there is a real buzz in town at the moment.
"Country towns can be pretty slow but once you have one of your own compete in a major sporting event like the Paralympics, everyone lifts and becomes really excited."
Ballarat-born wheelchair rugby veteran Greg Smith, who now lives in the nearby Victorian town of Buninyong, was the flag bearer for the 161-member Australian Paralympic Team at last week's opening ceremony in London.
Adams, who failed to snare a medal at the London games, will return to his property near Blackall later this month.
Australia is currently ranked fifth on the medal table.

Research & Scholarship
Current Research and Scholarly Interests
Using various animal models of bladder outlet obstruction as a representation of human prostatic disease, I am investigating how intervening with pharmacotherapy, neuromodulation, and other novel therapies may help to reverse the adverse changes in the bladder due to the obstruction.
I also am investigating new, minimally invasive treatments for post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence.
I am also investigating the role of neruomodulation in the treatment of chronic pelvic pain and IC.

KIRKSVILLE, MO. -- We are getting down to the wire with the election just four days away.
And, here in the Heartland the race for District 3 State Representative is heating up.
So, KTVO sat down with both candidates.
State representatives cannot repeal the Affordable Care Act, only the U.S. Senate can, which is a hot button issue on both sides of the aisle.
So we asked both state representative candidates about health care.
Question 1: What would you do if nominated to help District 3 with health care?
Democrat Rebecca McClanahan's view on: Health care
"I think in 2012 Missouri has been given an extraordinary opportunity to do what's right for Missourians in terms of health care, and perhaps, cover hundreds of thousands of Missourians with health care while bringing Missouri tax dollars home where they belong. So, I believe the way that would be done would be to expand eligibility for Medicaid. Now I know there are concerns out there that there are people (who) are already accessing Medicaid (who) don't deserve it, and I have those conversations with people, but just in terms of covering those who really need health care and ways of saving costs in the system, we could expand Medicaid in the state of Missouri."
Republican Nate Walker's view on: Health Care
"Well, I think right now we have a system that anybody can get health care through the private system. And some day, maybe, we need to come up with a good health care program that might be like the ObamaCare program. But right now, it's a bad program because the taxes and the cost of it (don't) measure out for the benefits. I think if we can sit down bipartisanly to come up with a plan that could work, that would be great."
Question 2: If elected, what would be your main priority?
"I have three priorities that are essentially equal: jobs and the economy, public education and health care. And so, those three I think blend beautifully because when you do something positive for jobs, you impact the other two areas. When you do something good for education, you impact the other two areas. The top employers here in the Kirksville area, the Adair County area, are health care and public education. And then we add on private education and ATSU and that is really the things we do best in the Kirksville area." Walker:
"Throughout this campaign I've talked about jobs and the economy. And, if we can get more jobs and the economy working better then that provides more income through the taxes people pay when they have a job. And you know unemployment is way too high. Eight percent or plus and we just have to work to get the unemployment numbers down. (We have to) provide good jobs in north Missouri, so that we can keep our good resources here (and) the good people here to work. But, just getting the economy going, getting jobs for our people is the most important thing right now because if you have jobs, then everything else kind of falls in place in a good way."

Smart cards are quite secure, although there are always some dangers as crackers develop ways to extract data. While they are secure, there are some things to watch for and do to make your smart cards safer. As it contains very sensitive data, you would do well to follow through and learn more about this topic.
You should be aware that smart cards contain a microprocessor that stores and processes information. As opposed to data in the magnetic stripe of a credit card, smart cards require a special reader. From the financial industry to cutting edge cell phones such as the Galaxy S, you've likely come across a smart card or two, whether you know it or not.
In order to protect yourself, you should make sure that you make purchases that are secured, as your information could be at risk either locally or where it is being sent, of course. Thus, for instance, when you buy apps or a program, ensure that it is from the platform's marketplace (as opposed to an unsecured website).
You must also be extremely careful with your smart card. Don't take it out of your device or allow someone to use it in any way. If the smart card is lost or stolen, take action immediately with the company that issued it.
Having knowledge of smart cards and what to do in certain scenarios can ensure your safety. Thankfully smart cards are rather secure devices, and will continue to evolve and protect sensitive data.

Soundbites: James Harvey, Big Heavy World, Soul V, Creston Lea, Gob Iron
It's been a while since we've heard from Vermont jazz legend James Harvey. Seems he's taken a break from composing and performing, having burned out on gigs in noisy bars. Can't say I blame the guy; playing high-wire improv for the inebriated or uncaring can take its toll on the musical soul. "It's not so much how I feel about music," he recently told me. "It's just what I feel about how music fits into the culture. I'm just not comfortable with it anymore. But I wouldn't feel any better if I was a painter."
Still, Harvey has a couple of appearances lined up. He'll perform on solo piano at St. Leo's Parish Hall in Waterbury on February 2, and at the Burlington Shambhala Center on February 24.
Which begs the question: Why, given his aversion to performance, is he playing these gigs at all? The answer is at least partly financial. "I might be taking a job that requires me to go to school for a couple of months, and I'll need my living expenses paid," he says. It's certainly not the first time a musician has taken a gig for some extra scratch.
Harvey can be musically mercurial, so expect an eclectic repertoire at the shows. "I'll be playing some of my own stuff, Duke Ellington, Rodgers and Hart and The Rolling Stones," he offers. I never really thought of the Stones as jazzy, but at Harvey's fingertips, anything's possible.
Can we expect any future engagements? "To me, it's a young man's game," Harvey says of performance. "Which is not to say that I don't like playing, and I'm sure I'll do it once in a while. I feel like I've said what I had to say, but if I want to go out and perform, I can do that. I'm actually really looking forward to these shows, partly because I don't have to do it again and again all year."
Harvey's influence can still be heard in a new generation of jazz musicians, including guitar whiz Nicholas Cassarino. "It was great to make a relationship with these younger players," Harvey relates. "And a lot of those guys have picked up the ball. It's their game now."
Every so often, I'm asked to judge a local event — I guess it's the "You gotta pay for glory." I tend to skip the more pedestrian stuff, such as singer-songwriter contests and community bake-offs. Why aren't there any good cockfights around here? But I couldn't resist being part of the "Rawk Hawd Gong Show," which takes place in the Higher Ground Ballroom on Thursday, February 1.
The event, a benefit for Vermont music advocates Big Heavy World, is co-sponsored by this very publication. Apparently, it's based on the old '70s TV show — you know, the one with host Chuck Barris and that dude who wore a paper sack on his head?
If you were born after the first Star Wars flick was released, allow me to explain: The original "Gong Show" featured an endless parade of marginally talented individuals competing for prizes. It was a precursor to "American Idol," and perhaps the first broadcast in which train-wreck performances were not just expected, but encouraged.
The local version is sure to be a free-for-all, but there are some rules. Contestants will get all of 45 seconds before the judges can "gong" the performer off the stage. If they're good enough, they can keep going until the 3-minute mark. At that point, they receive a score. The "entertainer" with the most points at the end of the show wins some crap. Actually, the prizes — provided by area businesses — are likely to be pretty decent. It's the performances you gotta worry about. Well, I do, anyway.
While putting together the weekly club listings, I happened to notice a band called Soul V booked to perform at Winooski's Monkey House on Saturday, February 3, and Langdon Street Café in Montpelier on Valentine's Day. I had a sneaking suspicion that this group might be related to Soulvation Army, a multi-member funk act that turned a few heads in '06.
My instincts were right on. SA and SV member Paddy Reagan recently filled me in on the finer points of each group. "Soulvation Army is the big band with 13 people now," Reagan explains. "It's got Mike Gorgone at the front, back-up singers . . . it's a bit of a spectacle."
Reagan told me that Gorgone teaches music at a Massachusetts elementary school, and Soul V is a way for other band members to perform "with respect for our man Mike G." It's still a pretty big band, however, with an average of 10 musicians at any given gig. But Reagan stresses the two groups are musically distinct. "There's definitely a different element when Mike's around, based mostly on the energy he brings to the stage," he says.
And that's not the only Soulvation spinoff out there. Each Friday at 7 p.m., members of the collective assemble at Radio Bean for "Soul Sessions," a semi-open jam featuring "whatever Soul V musicians we can get together and some sit-ins," according to Reagan.
Fans of the main group can get their fill when Soulvation Army returns to Higher Ground for a Mardi Gras kickoff gig on Friday, February 16. I've been told the band will be performing a tribute to Sly & the Family Stone with some special guests. Hope this clears things up.
I recently received an email from guitar maker/rocker Creston Lea about his impromptu performance in the Big Apple last week. "I went to New York to see some of my guitars get played," he wrote. "And I ended up guesting with Gob Iron on Friday at Maxwell's and Saturday at Northsix."
Gob Iron is the collaboration of singer-songwriters Anders Parker and Jay Farrar, both of whom have been known to rock Creston axes. "It's hard to ask for a more gratifying experience than getting to watch a great show featuring three of your guitars, and then, at the most exciting part of the set, joining the show," he wrote. "It was unexpected, and really fun."
Gob Iron recently released their debut CD, Death Songs for the Living, which features creative interpretations of old folk tunes. In other Jay Farrar news, a reconstituted Son Volt will appear at Higher Ground on Friday, April 13. Wouldn't it be cool if Lea sat in at that show?

I'd like your opinions on how I can use marketing to increase sales.
I run a small business on the side (I also have a full-time job), selling a niche enterprise software application. Last year I made around £30,000 (~$45,000 USD).
Currently the only marketing we do is using Google Adwords, which is getting us a little extra traffic (though the keywords are expensive... up to £3 per click!).
I'll soon be launching a new, more powerful, more scalable version of the software, along with a much improved new website. I'd really like to do more in terms of marketing to increase sales, but beyond Adwords I don't really know where to begin.
Someone suggested finding relevant bloggers, giving them some free licenses and asking them to do (unbiased) reviews.
Another suggestion was issuing press releases - I wouldn't know how to go about this, where to issue to etc.
What are your opinions on these two suggestions? Do you have any other suggestions or tips for a marketing newbie?

Just recently purchased the camera connector kit for my ipad.
So far, I love the way it works.
I've had mine on order from Apple for about 5 weeks now and just got notification that it had shipped from Shenzen yesterday. Can't wait to try it out. My wife is a photographer and would like to use her iPad with her Nikon D200.
excellent, can't wait ... mine is on the way from China ... order in mid-June, just got email that it shipped yesterday!
32gb iPad WiFi | Paired with rooted TMobile G1 | Pogo Stylus | Quirky Cloak (on the way) | More accessories coming soon
BTW - excuse typos as I am almost always posting from my iPad
so wait, can you explore out to it, on the ipad? whoa... this is what I'm lookin for...
went into las vegas apple store , town square for them to check out my wifi, they swapped out my ipad, and I asked when are you guys gonna get some camera kits, he said we have them on the wall, bought one for me and a friend. I don't know if you can buy over the phone but they got a bunch. was tempted to buy alot, but resisted.
I want one, I guess I'll have to order one and wait it out.
Isn't it crazy that they can make these wonderful devices but they can't produce any quanity of a couple of plastic pieces!!
I just called my nearest Apple store yesterday on a whim, and they had them! Went right down and got one. Will play with it on the weekend . . . tomorrow.
