Fox News alert we've got live pictures coming back from Lakewood Colorado where Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan.
Is now holding a rally he is looking to win over voters -- battle ground state.
Meantime the -- Ryan team is expanding an ad buy in Iowa.
Which is where the president is campaigning.
They are questioning president Obama's refusal.
To denounce an ad from his supporters that appears to link governor Romney to a woman's death.
Take a look.
What does it say about a president's character and his campaign tries to use.
The tragedy of a woman's death for political -- What does it say about a president's character when he had his campaign raise money for the and stood behind him as his top aides were caught lying about it.
So -- as the tone on the campaign trail.
Getting even uglier than we thought joining me now Peggy -- is here -- she's a Wall Street Journal -- best.
And a former Reagan speechwriter it's very exciting because she's African America live before.
Also Joseph Trippi who is a former Howard Dean campaign manager in a Fox News contributor he's an intimate ties -- less excited but I -- -- -- -- -- -- At that.
I I a -- -- -- -- I thought that you had one that.
This past week that -- that was entitled the nation that believes nothing.
And you talked about how you believe Mitt Romney didn't respond with enough outrage initially.
When he was hit with that add.
And talked about your experiences with president -- -- -- about how he was a man who knew.
When outrage was called for your.
It's a funny thing political figures on both sides often think that they have to maintain.
A relentless.
And -- her mobile some -- We'll signing this is great and being and equal -- even tempered person has really wonderful.
But sometimes you gotta be indignant sometimes you gotta get it.
A little bit man not only for yourself and your candidacy for the American people honest indignation is a good thing in politics.
It do you think it is coincidence that after you write this column met -- comes out with this ad fighting back and -- you know can you believe that he's taken this position.
Yes I do think it's coincidence but I would love it not to be but.
I think one of the great things about Romney this weekend is that.
For the first time he was standing there on the stage with someone else it was Paul line that was a -- he respects.
And it's as if being part of something that two of them.
Made him a bit more camera I camping the right we're proactive comes to mind but that's not the word.
Am a fighter made him a little.
Punch him out a little bit you know we handled the guy in the audience who was heckling them with a certain dispatch so the fight is on and that was good to say.
Before -- if -- -- I'll ask you because you talk about how Ronald Reagan knew we think of him as such an optimist and so.
Sunny as you point out but.
You taking -- -- to become indignant and you point out in your column a famous moment in a Republican.
Primary campaign back in 1980 where he did.
Show a bit of his higher suicide watch here.
What is automatically.
-- -- -- -- -- Why was that moments on -- I believe he won the New Hampshire primary that moment because he should.
First of all some guy was trying to bully him some guy was saying put off that -- microphone -- -- -- -- didn't say that to Ronald Reagan was a man he didn't say.
Shut that guy up.
He became indignant.
He happened to have a local really good issue which was that a number of candidates warned.
Warrant being allowed to speak at that debate -- -- he stood up for them and himself.
-- It was kind of a three for he made George H.
Bush look hapless some weak so is a political moment you don't really get better than that.
But it was honest indignation.
That he understood.
Don't camp that down don't make believe I don't feel this way feeling go with it.
Use it how -- how does that compare to what we're seeing today -- terms of the ugliness of this campaign at times.
And we've -- Mitt Romney for example demand an apology when when an Obama spokesman suggested he might be a felon.
But is that the same as Ronald Reagan and I am paying for this microphone you know -- what.
And a -- -- the differences.
-- that.
I don't think.
Romney has that.
-- and he hasn't displayed that ability that Reagan had to -- to really read the moment and in turn that indignation on when he needed and I agree with Peggy he won the New Hampshire primary that day with that exact moment.
Don't but the thing that's happening in the news cycles completely different.
Now than it was was then and and I -- I think he can't.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- They've created this whole thing right which is right -- that super -- prior yesterday's priorities USA all right supporting of Obama never ran on paid television that has never been a paid ad wants it ran on the Internet.
And the Romney reaction to it his -- is what gave it the fire at that allowed.
The press and the media and all of us -- to spend all of us -- -- it talking about it.
But it's pretty US -- because we've got it's not the first that that's gotten up that routine with all of this is like we've seen a lot of ugliness in his campaign that's created the disdain.
A -- -- in the and -- thousand and the American voters.
-- because one it's a base election and they're so those two things do everything you can't excite your base in everything you can.
To turn off the base of your opponent both campaigns have been have been doing that and the other thing I think that's my very different about the cycle.
Is there's no price to be paid from the super -- -- they -- work for anybody there's not a candidate that you have to go and say can I wanna showing the ad and -- and you know as somebody who makes those ads I know how many times I've gone to a candidate and they really do sit there ago.
I'm not doing that.
That -- -- both sides that's true.
So isn't getting -- because do you like your -- thank you that you believe that we are becoming a nation that believes.
Yes and that's not actually a good place for a nation debate you know you can have skepticism is a beautiful fun but endemic cynicism.
-- not good that just leaves you a little weaker as if you can't.
Believe than anything I think one of the problems were about to see and the ads that are coming up.
Is that we're going to be debating.
Medicare the size of government cutting government who said -- who voted for what seems everybody's going to be flashing.
With dramatic music and threatening voice -- they're gonna be saying.
He tried to cut 700 million you know he tried to increase 14100 billion trillion billion.
It's also confusing.
And -- but he knows.
It's meant to be confusing it's meant to excite your anxieties in response to vote on your anxieties it's right there.
We did and oddly enough I don't think at the end of the day it wins.
I think that the problem is people are tuning it all out community billions of dollars will be spent on this election -- -- and it ended frankly in very few places so you have.
Hundreds of millions of dollars being spent in one state in all the ads armor or are negative -- attacking and I think people learned to tune them out and so.
That's one of the reasons we're also seeing the because the crossing of -- -- how -- get anybody to.
It's and it -- them right there must our -- -- on -- -- on my last trip was does that thank you both so much foot pleasure thanks this is a thrill for me I hope we see them again.

How a Groupon can make or break your business
Groupon and daily deal sites are projected to be worth over $4.2 billion by the year 2015*. There are dozens of daily deal sites,
although most of them operate in generally the same way; for small business owners, these daily deals can make or break a business.
Thinking of a Groupon? This $20 class can save you thousands. CLICK HERE to REGISTER.
The way daily deals are structured
Generally, daily deal services are structured in such a way that both the merchant and the daily deal service both make money in some way. Groupon splits the income from the daily deal half and half, and requires a 50% or more discount on the product or service.
For example, a Groupon that costs $10 must be for a product or service worth $20. The merchant gets $5 of this income, and Groupon gets $5. Most daily deal sites also charge a credit card processing fee of between 1 and 3 percent. At the end of the day, this means the merchant gets approximately 22% of their usual charge for the item included in the coupon.
Each daily deal site pays out income from their deal differently; some in one lump sum, though many pay out in smaller installments.
The benefits of running a daily deal
For business owners, there are a multitude of benefits associated with running one of these daily deals.
- Very targeted customers: Generally daily deal sites offer very tightly controlled targeting of their customers, based on age,
previous buying habits, and geographical area. There are also daily deal sites that aim for a very targeted demographic; services such as Gaypon, for example. - New customers: Many of the customers that purchase and use a daily deal are customers that may not have otherwise spent the money to visit your location or utilize your service; these new customers can be a much-needed shot in the arm for a business.
- Social presence: Most daily deal website users are already comfortable with the web and social media. Running a daily deal means attracting customers that are already primed to use social networks and offer their opinions on your business to friends.
- Search Engine Optimization: The spike in traffic, topical links to your website, and social media discussion of your business that will happen the day a daily deal runs with your business can do great things for your search engine optimization, if your website is ready for it.
There are a multitude of benefits to running a daily deal, but unless you are truly prepared for the onslaught, then a daily deal can ruin your business. There are hundreds of thousands of stories online of businesses that have been put out of business by their Groupon or daily deal. Before you decide to run a daily deal, you should carefully consider:
- The cost of the deal: In order to run a daily deal, you will likely giving a discount of 75% or more to every customer that uses
the coupon. Consider if your busienss can take that kind of a discount, and if not, then running the deal may not be worth it. - Utilizing the information: You can get a wealth of information from and about the customers that buy and redeem your deal. If you do not yet have the structure to utilize the information in the future, however, then it may not be worth the cost.
- If you are prepared: A daily deal means several large spikes for your business. A spike in website traffic, a spike in orders the first few days, and another spike a few days before the deal expires. These customers are also very vocal and very likely to share, so if you are not prepared to handle the onslaught, you could do more damage to your businesses' reputation than you could help.
So – should you run a Groupon?
So, in the end, should you run a Groupon or other daily deal for your business? The answer depends on if your business is prepared for the deal, and if you can structure the deal in such a way that the deal will not drive your business out of business. Do the math very
carefully, know your goals for the deal, and structure it in such a way that you can turn the one-time daily deal customers into a boon
for your business, rather than a drain.

The Rules of Relationship Marketing
Last week, I had the opportunity and good fortune to share my Thanksgiving wine picks with Spokane area wine lovers on KXLY920 radio station and KXLY TV's Good Morning Northwest show. While some may think of me as a media whore, I love these opportunities to showcase Spokane wine and of course Nectar Tasting Room. While these opportunities sometimes seem to come out of the blue, they are not by accident, they are by design. The great thing is that anyone can develop the relationships they need for success in their industry.
Over the last few months I've been doing quite a bit of thinking on "relationship marketing" and building strategic connections; so much so, that I've started a book about the subject (only on chapter 3 of 12 right now). While I may not "do" relationships and networking correctly all the time, I have seen the power of these strategic connections in action these last 12 months. Here are three tips for turning online relationships into offline success.
1. Be genuine
People can spot a phony. Be who you are regardless of your faults and failures. There are some people I don't get along with. I can be impetuous and quick to speak without thinking through the consequences, but I am also quick to apologize and know my shortcomings. Many people can build a wide and shallow network but it will collapse like a house of cards if the roots are not deep and genuine.
2. Be purposeful
Build relationships that can be symbiotic. This isn't done to meet selfish needs but it is done with thoughtful intention. As a Washington wine blogger, I knew that I needed the bigger community of established bloggers. I intentionally sought out and connected with people like Washington Wine Report, Seattle Wine Gal, Paul Gregutt, Wild Walla Walla Wine Woman and more. These relationships became mutually beneficial and even spawned some great friendships.
Knowing that social media marketing and developing a brand required a broader reach, I intentionally connected with local influencers like Pam Scott, Visit Spokane, Ally Shoshana, Monte Tareski, Barb Chamberlain (and so many others) along with the growing local traditional media population on Twitter (enter the radio and TV contacts). Be purposeful about the connections you make whether it is media, non-profits, industry alliances, or popular influencers.
I would speculate that at least 90% of my great "offline" relationships began through "online" purposeful connections.
3. Be giving
Some people are consumers and users. By their very nature their endeavors dry up because at their core they are taking more than they are giving and eventually there is nothing left to take. I love what I do. I love Spokane and the wine scene here. While I have been intentional about most everything I've done, I also love seeing the success of those around me and promoting our area. From day one when 5 people watched a video and 3 people read a blog post, it was about adding value to the community. A good friend recently reminded me that it was this "giving" that was so attractive at the beginning. As a business owner with bills, new stresses and responsibilities, I have to admit that I briefly lost sight of giving and became inwardly focused. People often ask if a wine bar around the corner is our competition. I always respond with, "No, I love that place. I often go there when I'm not working." I love promoting them and their events. Regardless of whether there is a direct financial return, giving should be at the core of what you do. I've recently learned that there is a basic principle of the universe. Where your attention goes, your energy flows. Living life with open hands to give also allows you to receive back as well. Many of the most valuable relationships I have were birthed out of giving relationships with the Spokane Symphony, American Childhood Cancer Organization INW, Make a Wish foundation, Cancer Patient Care, Cystic Fibrosis and more.
Relationships are the key to success in any endeavor. Relationship marketing is the unique combination of building and nurturing relationships both online through social media and offline through traditional means. In my opinion, relationships grow through selfless effort and sacrificing your own needs for the greater good of others. Be genuine as you intentionally and purposefully build relationships with key people. Look for ways you can give back to each of those relationships and success will be yours.
For those of you who are interested, I've included both the TV and radio spots here for you

E3 2010: Who won the press conferences?
That's that, then. Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft fired their best shots at E3 in Los Angeles last week, and we sat through every minute of every presentation. Some of it was awesome. Some of it was baffling. All of it was gradable out of ten and putable into a meaningless list.
Who won? Who cares? Hit the link, sucker.

E3 2010 – Nintendo megatons get rounded up
Nintendo dropped more than a couple bombshells on us today during it's E3 press conference.
The shockers mainly came from a MGS being made for 3DS, the promised Kid Icarus game, Donkey Kong no longer being a rumor, and of course, the new Zelda title.
Tue, Jun 15, 2010 | 14:36 BST
E3 2010 – Nintendo press conference live!
Have you got a shelter built? Have you dug a hole? Because today is serious, son.
Nintendo's up first today after Microsoft's E3 showing last night, with Sony to follow soon afterwards. But undoubtedly, this is the most important conference in this year's show, as well as one of the most important within the past five years.
How so? Two very specific reasons.
Wed, Jun 02, 2010 | 14:46 BST

Let's hope someone remembers to buy the "super bandwidth upgrade package".

Amarok 2.2.2 with New Features
The Amarok project has made version 2.2.2 of its KDE music player available for download. The new version includes a couple of new features next to many detail changes.
Among the important changes to the current release, which the developers named after track 13 ("Maya Gold") of Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells II, are custom labels, the moodbar and the search for filenames in case metadata is not available. Custom labels and moodbars are functions that couldn't initially find their way in the conversion from Amarok 1.4 to 2.0 but are now in 2.2.2. Details on the rather complicated setup for moodbar support are on its own wiki page.
Improvements include resizing auto-sized playlist items in the playlist editor and numerous bugfixes for Internet services. Amarok no longer tries to detect character sets for tags, which previously caused numerous errors. The complete list of bugfixes since beta 1 is on the Amarok release page.
Amarok 2.2.2 is available for most distros as binary packages, while the source code is on KDE project FTP servers. Next to Linux versions are a Windows port and a version for Mac OS X. The project continually seeks volunteers to build packages and improve Amarok's Mac integration.

Hi, I'm suffering with the same problem. I can't find the main box to get the serial number. But my car is an E46 BMW 328ci. Any help on locating this box would be much appreciated.

Common mounting places for this car are mostly behind the glove box and sometimes behind heater controls.

Hmmm, well Ive taken the glovebox out and had a little look around out the back of the stereo/heaters and still couldn't see it????? I'll have to take another look....
Anyone got a pic of what I'm actually looking for? How big is it? Does it have NOKIA written across it in big letters?

The box looks like above. Also try following the cables from the dash, it should be there somewhere.

Hi - I am having the same problem. I have located the Nokia box below the glove box but can only find the "metal" tag on the box & no detachable sticker. Is the serial number on this as there are a few different numbers thereon. I have tried the last 4 digits of each of these with no success.
Can anyone help please !
2010-02-25 16:10
try clearing the memory of the car kit first by holding down the nokia button for 10 second till you hear a bleep. if the serial numbers dont work then try 0000. What phone are you trying to connect because this car kit is old and may not be compatable with new phones.

I have just bought an E46 BMW with this kit and cannot pair it to my iPhone.
I haver reset the kit.
The phone recognises the car kit, i.e. if finds carkit 112, but does not ask for the code and fails to pair.
Any help would be much appreciated.
many thanks

this will not be compatible with iphone, even if you did manage to connect them it would give bad echo.

The missing slot on the HFU-4 is for a slave handset, however since the law has changed, these are only useful for passengers.
The CK-100 will connect to the iPhone, although the existing HFU-4 connections may need changing to enable music streaming. Calls will be ok though.
An alternative would be the CK-200 which uses the same connections as the HFU-4 and will connect two phones at the same time over Bluetooth.

A century before cultural diplomacy became a buzzword for governments around the world, Japan scored a spectacular success - Washington's cherry blossoms, which have become one of the US capital's top tourist attractions. First planted in 1912 on central Washington's then barren Tidal Basin, the gifts from Japan each year now draw more than one million visitors who revel in the famously short-lived beauty of the blooming pink and white cherry petals.

Moving on to the 2nd last TOP on the list of the TOP Olympics marketing efforts, we have GE!!
GE is the exclusive provider of a wide range of innovative products and services that are integral to a successful Games. From providing power, lighting, security and modular space solutions at Olympic venues to supplying ultrasound and MRI equipment to help doctors treat athletes, GE works closely with the Organising Committees, local municipalities and other Olympic Partners to understand their needs and then deliver solutions that only GE can. NBC Universal, a division of GE, is the exclusive US media partner of the Games. The GE and NBC Universal partnerships extend through 2012.
Now what kind of marketing efforts would a company like GE have?
1)They have a green theme of "Ecomagination" for a marketing campaign. Basically showcasing all their green initiatives to reduce the carbon emission of various places. By using their technology on the Bird's nest and the water cube, GE has solidified its position in China through these examples and earned a neat 600 Million dollar revenue. They plan to further push their green initiatives during the Shanghai world expo and the Guangzhou Asian games.
2) They launched various commercials to be part of the "green Olympics" initiative set by Beijing. Here's the link for the ads.
3) They've also chosen an interesting medium to market their message. They have interactive ads on 1000 taxis in Beijing being displayed on a small screen in the cab for passengers. You can read more about it here.
4) As mentioned earlier, NBC, part of the GE umbrella are the exclusive US media partner. This Olympics marks the transition of NBC shifting their video coverage to online. Whats more, there're showcasing thousands of hours of film previously not shown in games. This is to cater to the niche groups who are more interested in certain sports. There's the long tail theory working for u!
That seems to be about GE's efforts for the Olympics. You can check out their homepage for more details.
Now, since they've committed themselves to reducing the carbon emission and going on a green theme (Certainly not a case of green washing), wouldn't it be great if they could involve the ppl as well?
I'm thinking Facebook groups to encourage greener initiatives. Wikis to generate more green solutions.They have a healthcare blog, but what about one for the "ecomagination"? I'm guessing social media here might not be a huge consideraton cause its gonna be a lot of B2B marcomms going on. However, if their intiative can spur ppl on to make the change, then it might make demnad greater!
So while i admire their green intiative, interesting ads and mediums to push these ads, it would have been nice to invovle the ppl who ultimately use their service.

Hi everyone,
I'm looking to get from Fremont via the Dumbarton Bridge to N. Mathilda Ave, Sunnyvale. I figure I'd go down to Willow and cross over 101 but wasn't really sure of the best bike route from Penninsula side. Can someone please advise on what streets (bike paths would be preferable) would be best?
Thank you!!
Fremont to Sunnyvale
I'd try this route,
Across Dumbarton on bike path
S University (assuming you don't mind riding thru E. Palo Alto)
E Bay Road
S Pulgas Ave.
SE on Bayshore rd.
After Crossing Embarcadero get on bike path (north side of Bayshore) and ride this all the way past and around Shoreline park.
Get off bike path at Middlefield and head east
L Logue
R Maude til you hit Matilda. A little confusing but lots of bike path w/ no cars.
Hope this helps.

Santorini Eden Prairie
Online Reservations
Had to meet a sales guy that I had know for a long time so decided a lunch here would be appropriate. All of the other tables were filled with business lunches as well. Nice atmosphere and the service was personal and they did a good job. I will be back again.
We have dined here on a pretty regular basis over the years and the food is always excellent. This time was no exception, great saganaki, good salad, and wonderful entrees. The ambiance on the patio in summer is great. Our one complaint this time was that it was very rushed. The entree came within five minutes of the salad, the bill came before dessert or asking if we wanted anything else. Net was we had a before dinner drink, appetizer, salad, entree and dessert, and they moved us through all that in barely an hour. There were open tables, so not as though they needed to turn tables quickly.
Santorini continues to have great food and an enjoyable eating experience. We had the mussels appetizer, prime rib and sea bass - all were perfectly cooked. We will definitely go back.
My husband and I really thoroughly enjoy the food here, and the waitstaff is always excellent. My only complaint would be the choice of music, which on the Sunday we dined for brunch was comprised of 80's and 90's hits (many of them live versions) that were played far too loudly over the speakers on the patio. Softer, dining-friendly music would have been much preferred.
Great brunch! Bring back omlets for brunch. $23 bucks and no omlets :-(
I love the variety on the Sunday brunch. I love all of the fruits and salad options, as well as everything else. There is something for everyone. It is one of the best brunches in town. Will return.
We love Santorini! Their Sunday brunch is the best in the west metro (perhaps all of the Twin Cities). It is also a favorite for happy hour on the patio, lunch, or dinner!
We were lucky enough to sit on the patio on arguably the nicest night this summer. It was crowded and noisy, but the food was good and we didn't feel rushed. Everything was yummy!
Our family has made Santorini an at least monthly tradition. The wonderful outdoor patio area, the fun stuff for the kids to do, and the great food make this a great option. Prices are reasonable for the high quality food.
Some stuff is a little pricey but everything is very good.
Very good food and very good service. You can tell they know their stuff. Quality of food was excellent.
Had a sister's weekend and ended it with brunch and it was a great end to the weekend.
The brunch buffet was amazing! It had many items to choose from and everything was top quality. My whole table could tell that they really care about their guests and the quality of the food. I would definitely come here again and recommend others to diner here as well. A word of caution, don't order a Bloody Mary you will be disappointed, get a Mimosa or screw driver instead if you want an alcoholic drink.
Our family enjoyed the humongous brunch. There was something for everyone in the group of 5. The Greek food was to die for as was the prime rib. Plus the salad bar was 3 tables long and had every kind if saladv imaginable. One of our group called after we were seated and said she could now join us. The staff handled this special request graciously on a very busy day. That was above and beyond. We will definitely go there again
I can't seem to get enough of Santorini well made sunday brunch. The variety of food is amazing and everything tastes great. The have a mouth watering spread of salad, main dish and of course deserts.
My wife and I have dined at Santorini's in Eden Prairie twice recently. The food was exceptional, and the service exceeded expectations.
Always enjoy our visit to Santorin's. Brunch is very good.
The buffet consisted of three lines, salad, hot entrees and dessert. The salad line was especially good, with traditional and Greek salads, cheeses good assortment of rolls including pretzel rolls, olives, dolmades and a carving station with very good roast lamb and roast beef. The hot line was more traditional with vegetarian eggs benedict, bacon and sausage, scrambled eggs, and baked cod, but also included very good gyro meat and warm pita wedges and Greek stew. There was a very nice Belgian waffle station. The dessert consisted of vanilla bean ice cream (very good) and a chocolate fountain, The server we had was very good, personable and friendly and kept us well taken care of. Overall, it was a satisfying brunch and good quality food.
they have one of the best Sunday Brunches in the area. A beautiful salad bar (Greek food themed) and other delicious entrees.
I have been going to Santorini's for a number of years. The food is always excellent, the staff are helpful and the atmosphere is perfect. I met my friends there or go with the family, either way it is the perfect spot. Their Sunday brunch is fantastic.
Best scallops I have ever eaten. My husband ate the ribs, also very good. This is my 5th time at Santorini's and I have never been disappointed.
I do love Santorini, but I must warn you. It keeps changing. The prices go up and they cut out a lot to cut costs and maximize profits. Gone are the sides and you even have to request bread now. That being said, the food is great, consistent, quick and the service is terrific.
The restaurant was quite empty when we were there but we thought it had great ambiance. The service was very timely. The lamb chops and filet mignon were so tender they melted in your mouth. Quite spendy but I would recommend to friends.
We were there on Sunday the buffet was marvelous. We watched the Vikings finally win.
Enjoyed everything about our visit - food, service, and ambiance. Looking forward to going again
Very unique flavors with a classy ambiance. Fast service and lots of food. We started out with Dolmades for an appetizer plate that had four items that were fantastic. My wife's chicken (Kotopita) had feta cheese wrapped in filo bread and was deliciously tender. I had the (Moussaka) lamb and beef with eggplant and potato, and was very flavorful. It reminded me of a Norwegian hot dish with hints of Mediterranean spices. My wife and I recommend all of these choices but will try new items when we return as they have so many specialties.
Amazing food and staff!!! This was our first time and we'll definetly go back!! My partner has a lot of food issues and she was able to find lots on the buffet she could actually eat which really says a lot!
We love Santorini for brunch, lunch, dinner, or appetizers!
This is my favorite brunch in the TC. Huge selection and lots of items not seen in any other restaurant.
We had great food - one was a recommendation from the server. Unfortunately, we sat by the fireplace but on the side that was right across from the kitchen so there was a lot of traffic and background noise. Still, it was a good night and we would definitely go there again!
Santorini has the most amazing brunch ever! My husband and I absolutely love dining for brunch at Santorini. This place is a real treat for us when we are up in the area.
Whenever we want to celebrate something -- this is our go to place. This past visit was our 28th anniversary, so Santorini's was our spot. Never disappointed in service, food or ambiance.
There was a great assortment of breakfast and other hot items, as well as salads, available for the Brunch. Food was great and everyone within the staff we interacted with was very friendly.
As always the brunch at Santorini is to die for. The variety and quality of food offerring never seize to amaze me. Santorini offers the most variety salad bar, well put together. The main dishes are equally mouth watering.
I love the relaxed feel of this place - like a comfortable dining room in a friends home. I definitely would return to try more dishes. The carving lunch buffet was amazing and the potato salad was refreshing. Service was well-timed and friendly.
I have loved going to Santorini since it was in Hopkins area! I love the new restaurant and how much it has improved. I had the lamb and goat cheese pizza and it was delicious! My friend had gyros and they were also good. I went to Greece last year and Santorini compares to what we ate while we were there! Love it!
We had a Birthday celebration and as always the service was great! Our food was excellent and everyone was impressed! We would recommend this to anyone.
Santorini's is a wonderful restaurant with a great brunch and dinner. Brunch is joyful and great for families and special groups. Dinner can be the same, but also quiet and romantic - Food is great - love the authenticity, but missed the Spanicopia! (sp?) It is a "greek staple" in my book - where else could a person get it?
I have a group of five friends who for the past six or seven years have celebrated our birthdays at Santorini with a Sunday brunch. It is wonderful! A great variety of food--something for everyone. They don't rush us--and we can enjoy an extra cup of coffee and chat when we're finished. It has become a great tradition for us.
Great food and presentation. Our server was friendly and checked on us often. We'll definitely be back!
This is the first time we've been to Santorini's since they opened their Eden Prairie, MN location and I'm so happy we did! We had lunch to celebrate my mother's 85th birthday and it was the perfect place for a Saturday lunch. The lobster ravioli was amazing. The service was great - attentive but not 'hovering'. We will definitely be back!
Have been there for Brunch several times and food is always good; such a great variety. The service is top notch!
Went for the brunch buffet...service was spot on, never once a empty glass or dish on the table. Food was a foodoholics dream....everything was excellent and fresh. No cheap fillers, thick cut beacon, and a chocolate foutain. Would highly recommend to anyone!
One again, this is the best brunch in the twin cities!! Thank you Tony for providing the best Greek food anywhere!
Our first visit to Santorini's at this site. The food was great, as one would expect from the Nicklow family. I had mousaka and my husband had a seafood pasta dish. The mousaka was fantastic. My husband commented that there was a good amount of seafood in the pasta. The baklava cheesecake was delicious to the last bite. The only negatives were that the hostess seemed a little overbearing and our waiter forgot my husband's soup as well as bringing a second glass of wine when we were almost done with the entree. But I can overlook those details because the food was so good. Will definitely return!
Treated my 80 year young sister to a birthday brunch. It was a very nice experience.
Our party of 6 had a great night. They were very accomidating. The food was real good! The only complaint my husnand had was he ordered the prime rib and it was very tough. If we wouldn't been in a party of 6 he would have sent it back and ordered something else. We did not bring it to the attention if the waiter because we were in a group and didn't want everyone to wait for a replacement meal to come. The waiter was real nice and helped us celebrate birthdays and p brought us a fancy flamining candle. Over all we had a great night.
Our waiter was so nice and very efficient. The service was great. I love the Greek salad. The lamb chops were very good and very tender. Tony is always so friendly, and greets everyone with a smile . Even though it was very cold out, it was packed. I really enjoyed sitting in the back room by the fireplace. It was quiet and cozy. I like that we live so close to Santorinis.
I go to Santorini's quite often and I really enjoy the place. The food is consistantly good and the people that work there are great!!!
Food was very good and pricing was very fair. Our waiter was very good and energetic, even kept us entertained by dancing in his down time! Live music was good, and the separated room kept the music levels low enough to have a normal conversation while dining. I will definitely come back and recommend this place.

Thanks to my lovely tax return I now have a Vita. So far I've been really enjoying it, and the few games I have on it. Unfortunately due to finals and multiple jobs I don't feel much like writing an entire article about anything that substantial, so I'll just put some impressions below.
The touchscreen and touchpad are the most impressive, and in an age when touchscreens are so prolific, that's really quite a compliment. It's responsive, precise, and I haven't had any issues with it beyond some gimmicky controls. The colors really pop, and the resolution is fantastic.
Unfortunately, the screen does have one slight flaw. In a dark room when the screen is a dark color it looks mottled. At first I thought it was bubbles under my screen, but then I checked my girlfriend's Vita and it had the same issue. Some short research online showed me that not only is this problem well known, but it has thus far been ignored by Sony. The obvious response is "don't use the Vita in a dark room" - it's bad for your eyes anyway - but it's a little disconcerting that a device that was so touted for its amazing screen has such a glaring flaw. It's a small one, but it's still a little baffling that Sony didn't take care of it.The analog sticks were what I was most skeptical of, and my skepticism was completely unfounded - they are awesome. They are at least as precise as a PS3 controller, and have a great feel to them, despite their small size. I've been playing Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus, and I keep forgetting I'm not holding a traditional controller. The small buttons were also a concern, but they are extra clicky and lend themselves well to button-mashing.The operating system is decent, and has some fun features. The biggest complaint I've heard is that you can't use the buttons to navigate the home screens, but I've yet to even accidentally try to navigate with them. This might be due to the fact that, again, I have big hands, thus I had no problem reaching any area of the screen.Software:The software included is adequate, but won't change the way you view small electronics. The web browser works, the keyboard works, and Netflix is a little sluggish. Not being able to browse is a big downside, as I tend to look up FAQs for games while I'm playing. The frustrating part is that there is a workaround with the Twitter app that will allow you to browse while playing a game, so we know it's possible just not enabled yet. In addition to that the browser doesn't load the page until you actually scroll to it, making scrolling a little bit of a hassle. While, again, the browser isn't a crucial part to the system, it still would have been nice to see them outsource this to someone like Opera. Running programs work a lot like they did on webOS (for the ten of you that used it before it died). They are made up of little cards that you can swipe off the screen to close, and it all seems to work just fine. I haven't had any lock ups with the device, or even any interface lag.
Games:Well all know this is the important part. How are the games? Well, they're quite impressive. I'm not a big fan of amazing graphics, but I definitely found myself marvelling at the sheer resolution and number of assets on screen. Aside from the launch games, which included several great titles, there has been very little in the way of new releases. The next big release is Mortal Kombat which will release in a few days, and Disgaea 3 came out recently, but you're going to be playing the same release titles for the time being. Fortunately, it was a strong lineup and there's some good variety. My game of choice has been Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus, which is really just a re-release of Sigma, but still one of my favorite action games. Aside from some mildly annoying touch controls, it's a great title that sacrifices absolutely nothing with its handheld release.
Overall:The Vita is quite an impressive system overall, and my complaints with it are minor at worst. After purchasing the system I was a little surprised that it was only $250, since that's how much I paid for my 3DS and it stands a head and shoulders above the 3DS in terms of hardware. Of course, it has to compete with the beast that is Nintendo marketing, as well as various cell phone markets that have indoctrinated people into the ninety-nine cent mindset, but I think Sony has a powerful enough system to really drive demand here in the West.

Longboat Key Fire Rescue Chief Rich Dickerson said firefighter paramedics were late in arriving to a 911 call at the Longboat Key Club and Resort Harbourside Dining Room Dec. 2 because a flurry of 911 calls received gave conflicting addresses.
Last Wednesday at 7 p.m., a man suddenly collapsed at a Longboat Key Club and Resort Islandside renovation and expansion project appreciation party. When the man fell to the floor in front of about 300 people, several people in the room began calling 911 to report the emergency.
Dickerson said the first call received by the south fire station, which sits less than a half-mile away from the Harbourside Dining Room, was from someone requesting an ambulance at 2110 Harbourside Drive in the Fairway Bay community.
People in attendance complained that Longboat Key Fire Rescue took at least 20 minutes to respond to the call. Dickerson, however, said the response time was delayed but took no more than 10 minutes.
"We could have been there sooner, but we responded to the location given to us by the first caller and had to backtrack," Dickerson said.
Longboat Key Police Captain Steve Mislyan, the first to arrive on the scene at 3000 Harbourside Drive, confirmed that police dispatch was given the wrong address, which led to the response delay.
The man was not hospitalized and ended up leaving the resort on his own, Mislyan said.
Dickerson urged Key residents to confirm the exact address of their emergency before calling for help, which will avoid paramedic response delays.
