Cool River Cafe - Denver
Online Reservations
Always good, and always a nice atmosphere. No complaints here.
This was the first time I have dined at the Cool River Cafe and it was exceptionally good in every way. The restaurant is airy and spacious with a high dome ceiling. The service was excellent - we were seated immediately and our server was attentive and helpful The tenderloin steak salad was one of the best salads I have ever eaten. I would definitely return to Cool River Cafe.
We had not been to Cool River for some time. I was looking for a nice place that had quality food and service to celebrate an anniversary. I did not tell the restaurant about the annivesary, I just wanted a nice place to celebrate. Overall the food and service was above board. I did find it odd that the tables did not have any linen. For an upscale restaurant, this seemed to cheapen the ambiance a bit. Other than that, we had a nice time, the service was good and the food was all eaten!!
The staff and our server Kristen made our birthday dinner a night to remember. It was a very special night with excellent customer service. Thank you cool river Denver for the birthday card and complimentary dessert.
Very enjoyable event for our Family. good food, well organized and good service. Thank you
my husband and I went for Easter brunch. It was one of the best in Denver area. They had a large variety of dishes to choose from. The waitress was wonderful and did not hover.
We were there for Easter brunch and everything was lovely. We had an extra person show up late and they were happy to move us to a larger table. Our server was excellent and the food was varied and delicious. We had a ball!
We had a great time at the Easter Brunch. I am on a low carb (Paleo) diet and I found plenty of things I could eat at their brunch. I have been going to brunches at my father 's senior home for years, but he died in June 2012, so I had to start doing something new, so it was great that we had such a great experience at Cool River.
We continue to find both the food and service excellent here. We were last here for Easter brunch and the food choice could not have been better. In the past we have their steaks which were also excellent. Our only problem here for the brunch was the buffet was set up downstairs and we were seated upstairs. There was an elevator but it does loose some of the ambiance when you take an elevator. We actually usually prefer the upstairs seating but for the buffet try to get downstairs.
My son took his girlfriend to Cool River before Prom. They had a great dinner. He remarked that the service was awesome and the food was delicious.
I was very impressed with the customer service I recieved from the blonde hostess. What an excellant accessory to your fine establishment, she was charming, welcoming, and extremely hospitable.
Cool River Cafe has been a favorite for several years. While there are other steak houses in the area Cool River stands out above the others especially if you are looking for an intimate setting or special occasion dinner. They don't pack the place with a lot of seating so you always have a semi-private area for that romantic evening. The menu changes and they always have nightly specials not on the menu. If you are dining with a larger group there are areas in the bar or upstairs for that. There are several private rooms for that business dinner or meeting with heavy appetizers.
Wonderful experience! All around great food, atmosphere and service.
The service was slow. My salad had huge, hard-to-eat pieces of lettuce that I had to leave on the plate.
This is a great place to take clients for a lunch, although a little loud and a bit dark, it has great good, great service and is very convenient.
We went for our anniversary. The meal was perfectly prepared. The waiter was friendly and made us feel special without going too far. He was very good as was the entire staff. We will definitely go back and recommend them. We first went there last year during Denver 5280 and went back because of our experience then. That has not been the case with other places we have tried.
Service was exceptional and the food was very good. Different than a normal meal at Cool River since it was a buffet style brunch, but we were pleased.
I had been here one other time, food was just good, well prepared and warm. This time I took wife, two young daughters (6 and 9) and family friend out for brunch. Nice setup, the food was good and they kept the buffet well stocked. Only complaint is the waiter, very friendly and was around for the first 20 minutes then it was like he disappeared. Our drinks sat empty and it took forever for him to notice when we were done. I want to say it was because they were busy but I don't know that they were so busy he couldn't show his face, something else must have been going on. All the other wait staff seemed to be helping the other tables no problem. Anyway, wasn't so terrible that it ruined the experience, in fact I would go again.
The food was very good, the atmosphere very nice, our server was good it was just a little pricey. The 4 of us, with no alcohol, for lunch spent $100-including tip-ouch!
I am never disappointed when I come to Cool River, for business and for personal dining. The staff are wonderful people and the food is phenominal! Steaks are always cooked to perfection and dessert is oustanding!! The choice of wines is incredible! I would recommend Cool River for any business dinner requiring quiet space for discussion, or a place to bring family and friends for a memorable evening out!
We expected the restaurant to be very busy for Father's Day, but it was not at all. Our party of five all enjoyed our dinner in the beautiful and tranquil setting very much. Although we were initially disappointed that our bison favorites were gone from the menu (and apparently have been for two years now), we still had great meals. The ahi, calamari, and crab cake appetizers where all delicious. The venison was magnificently prepared, and it pared perfectly with the Hamacher Pinot Noir we ordered. The bacon-wrapped scallops and the diablo chicken were also excellent. The rack of lamb, unfortunately, was overdone (coming out medium to medium well, rather than the medium rare that was ordered), but still tasty and enjoyable.
I always enjoy my visit to Cool River. Excellent Service and food every time! Love it!
Good food and service. Good for business lunch or dinner. A little pricey.
Outstandong food and customer service for an important business meeting.
If you like great food and atmosphere and attentive service, try Cool River dining.
Our first time. Friends recommended and also attended with two of their family from out of state. Food and service (Mario) outstanding.
We (my wife and I) celebrated my 72nd birthday at the Cool River Cafe. The food and service (Mario) was wonderful and we had a delightful evening.
What a beautiful place. Food was very good. and so was the service.
The staff at Cool River always exceeds my expectations. The food and service is the highest quality, and the atmosphere is very pleasant.
Expensive, but excellent food and excellent service.
The staff were very welcoming, and seated the first members of our group of 5 even though the rest had not yet arrived. Throughout the evening the wait staff were attentive, and very good with their suggestions and advice. The food was fine, just not exceptional or notable. But since we were there mostly to talk and celebrate, this was not a problem.
The food was wonderfully prepared, but the price was a bit high for a weekday lunch.
We had the scallops, ribs, bass, shrimp, and a steak. All entrees were wonderfully prepared. We were celebrating a special evening and general mgr. even sent us a note of achievement to make the night special. Nice touch to a great evening with lots of candle light and wine. The server was fun and knew everything about the food to help make our selections. Apparently the week days are packed with DTC business people and the weekends are easier to get a reservation. An unforgettable evening! We will be regulars!
steaks were excellent. sea bass and scallop dishes were fabulous! delightful staff. we agreed we need to visit more often.
Had dinner reservations at 6:45 pm...at 8:15 was told that they were closing at 9 pm because it was slow! Felt rushed and really couldn't have dessert...really was disappointed that they felt the need to rush us out!
Our food was delicious and came out at the right time. No long waits or having to rush through your salad just because dinner was ready. Friendly people really make the difference!
Went for Veteran's Day. Other places had discounts, but we've been to Cool River before, and wanted to take advantage of the Veteran's Day offer. The food was delicious and served properly. The only exception was a cold backed potato (they brought a hot potato after I asked for one). The service left a little to be desired (we did not get bread until we asked for it, and my/my wife's glasses emptied out a few times before they were refilled), but overall, the experience was good. Expensive. I would only go for a special occasion (or half off).
I have been to Cool River on numerous occasions. I find Cool River relatively quiet with good food and prompt service. All important attributes for a good business lunch. The menu is diverse and not too expensive with a variety of choices.
We only sampled the Filet Mignon, which was excellent. So were the Buffalo potatoes and asparagus. The salad was uninspired and disappointing as was the fresh bread. I would recommend this restaurant for the diner who has an appreciating for fine steak.
Recently having just moved from the east coast where seafood is abundant and your choice of restaurants is endless, we were not disappointed with this pick. A party of five for a birthday celebration and all where very happy with there meals. Seafood was fresh and tasty. Venison was prepared extremely well, if you have never had it this is a good place to try it. Steaks where generous in there portion and cooked to our liking. We went on a sunday evening and found it relatively quiet so our service was great. The prices are not for the faint at heart, but the quality of food is worth it. Somewhere we would all go again!!
We went for Thanksgiving. The service was outstanding, good food in spite of being buffet, a great variety to choose from, and the ambience was quiet and peaceful. We had a wonderful time for a very reasonable price. It was a great experience!
The only down side to this experience was the fact that we sat in the upper level and the buffet set was on the main floor. There was an elevator though. Food was more than excellent, service was more than great. This was our first dining experience at Cool River Cafe and we plan on going back for a birthday celebration in February!
The variety, the quality, the presentation, the service, the attention given every last detail, places this experience at the top for fine dining at it's finest!
We went to Cool River Café on Thanksgiving. Overall, we had a great dinner there. Food was right and service was good. Especially the quality of steak was excellent. We would recommend the restaurant to our friends.
Excellent Thanksgiving buffet. Seated on time (actually a little early), great selection of food, food was very good (and hot food was hot, cold food was cold). Food was constantly being replenished. Very nice desert selection. Excellent attentive service with nice happy servers. All in all, a great place for holidays. Everything was perfect.
Warm and Inviting We arrived for an early lunch and were promptly seated. It was very cold outside, and we asked to be seated in front of the fireplace. We ordered a salad which we told the waitress we intended to split. It was delivered to us already split.Very cozy, great service and yummy. food. We will return.
From the delicious Devil's Advocate shrimp to the fabulous filet and the superlative service, every aspect of my meal was marvelous!
Everything was fine until the bus person came and removed our salad dishes without asking and before we were finished. This person should ask before removing any dishes.
We have always found Cool River to be just an average restaurant particularly in terms of food quality. However this past week a group of five of us had lunch there and found the food to be tastier and all around better than normal. This was a most welcome surprise and it was coupled with prompt, courteous service. For once we will look forward to returning on a more frequent basis.

How To Make A Spicy Blood Mary Gift Kit
Spicy pepper vodka + Sriracha salt = great Bloodys without the brunch crowd. Keep this kit for yourself or give it as a great holiday gift.
Spicy pepper vodka + Sriracha salt = great Bloodys without the brunch crowd. Keep this kit for yourself or give it as a great holiday gift.
Sorry if these are a little cheesy.
These were the things we all aspired to eat in 2013, according to Pinterest.
Grubbin' Pugs is basically everything you need all in one blog.
It's hard to believe all of this deliciousness even fits on such a tiny island.
I'll try anything once. Even a Big Mac on a bagel.
Goo is great.
Plus delicious recipes to make with them. Vegan chefs rock!
We tried to create eggnog from scratch. It went…OK.
You might mention to your lucky recipient that the brine takes 24 hours, but this is the best fried chicken ever. Check out other food gifts here.
The hedge fund Barington Capital Group is mounting a campaign to break up the parent company of Olive Garden and Red Lobster, Darden Restaurants, in part because of the abysmal performance of those two chains. Here's a look at how they fell so far so fast.
Nailed it?
These are sort of like Cheez-Its that got all dressed up for a fancy holiday party. They also make a great gift.
Organic yogurt-maker Stonyfield Farm just started distributing an exclusive Greek yogurt line at Whole Foods two weeks ago. The Wall Street Journal reported earlier today that Whole Foods will stop selling Chobani yogurt by early 2014 to make room for more organic and GMO-free brands.
The American Egg Board is buying paid search terms against a buzzy new egg alternative company in a bid to protect its lucrative turf.
It's time to celebrate Bake Cookies Day, arguably the best holiday of the ENTIRE YEAR.
Keep everyone you know warm and cozy this winter with a cute jar of chai spice mix. Check out more holiday food gift recipes here.
They woke up like this.
This sauce is so sweet and boozy, you might be tempted to just drink it. Or, you could give it as a holiday gift.
'Tis the season to be incredibly short on time. Doesn't make it OK to show up empty-handed (and wine isn't actually a food).
"Now" is not always the best time to drink it.
Sure, you could buy them. But things always taste better when you make them yourself, and these make a great holiday gift.
SO TWEE. And you love it.
All your furry friend really needs is your love, but made-at-home biscuits never hurt. These crunchy treats also make great holiday gifts.
Hurry, eat everything now, before it's too late. Especially the bagels.
CREAM CHEESE FROSTING alert. Check out more food gifts here.
This super-simple oat pancake mix is a thoughtful way to make gluten-free friends (or anyone) happy. Check out more holiday food gift recipes here.
You don't have to serve Kraft singles at a party just because you didn't go to a fancy cheese shop. There is another way.
Happyfood is an adorable Tumblr that you should follow if you ever need a pick-me-up.

A virus called a repellanoid has been implicated in a host of diseases. Biochemists have determined that it forms a cylinder, but they don't know the circumference of the cylinder. Here is what they know: There are five different strand sizes, which the scientists refer to by colors: aqua strands of length 4; blue, 5; crimson, 6; dark yellow, 7; and emerald, 8. Each ring of the cylinder consists of strands laid out end to end.
The biochemists have identified the following constraints: Taking the vertical direction to be along the length of the cylinder, if X is a ring and Y is the ring immediately above X, two above X, or three above X, then any vertical line between X and Y must touch a different color on X than on Y. That is, like repels like up to a distance of three. Of course, all the rings must have the same circumference. What is the smallest circumference of the cylinder?
This article was originally published with the title Repellanoids.

A 34-year-old Granite City woman was charged Monday in connection with kicking a Madison County Sheriff's deputy after he responded to a domestic disturbance.
Charolette A. Giger, 34, of 2433 Angela Drive, was charged with aggravated battery of a peace officer, a felony, by the Madison County State's Attorney's Office.
The Madison County Sheriff's Department responded to Giger's residence at about 2 p.m. Sunday in reference to a possible disturbance.
Captain T. Mike Dixon said deputies met with Giger and a male occupant of the home, who had been involved in a domestic disturbance. As deputies were conducting the investigation, Giger began yelling at the deputies, according to Dixon.
He said Giger refused to follow lawful orders that were given to her by deputies and was arrested in connection with obstructing a peace officer.
Giger began kicking the inside of the squad car she was placed in. A deputy intervened, and as the deputy made contact with Giger, she kicked the deputy in his left shoulder, Dixon said. The deputy was not seriously injured.
Giger is being held in Madison County Jail on $40,000 bail.

Rick's Picks occasionally offers option trades suited to novices and experienced traders alike. Typically, these gambits go against major trends, since our proprietary Hidden Pivot System is especially useful for nailing turning points very precisely. Yesterday, for instance, we recommended buying QQQ June 65 calls if this proxy for the Nasdaq-100 index fell to within a dime of a 63.53 price target. That implied a wicked plunge from the previous day's settlement price of 64.76. In the actual event, panicky sellers obliged by pounding the bejeezus out of QQQ on Tuesday. It opened 43 cents lower, at 64.33, on its way to an intraday bottom at 63.48 – just a nickel from the low we'd projected. This allowed us to buy June 65 calls for as little as 0.98; however, we used an official price of 1.03, since that was the worst fill reported by a subscriber in the Rick's Picks chat room.
Later in the day, the calls rebounded to 1.42 as QQQ trampolined from our downside target. (In the feverish promotion-speak of the guru world, the paper profit on the calls worked out to "AN ANNUALIZED GAIN of 13,800%!!!!!!!!!!"). As QQQ screamed higher, we sent out a bulletin telling subscribers to take profits on half the position. Some reported fills as fat as 1.36, but we used a more conservative 1.25, effectively reducing the cost basis of our remaining position to 0.84.
Our #1 Trading Rule
Now it'll be hard to lose, right? In fact, stranger things have happened. And that's why we always recommend taking at least a small partial profit early in a trade if possible, whether in stocks, options or futures. Of the three vehicles, options are arguably the toughest game to beat, especially for the retail customer. We say that after having traded puts and calls ourselves for nearly 40 years, 12 of them as a dealer on an exchange floor. Options can be extremely difficult to play because it is not just price fluctuations in the underlying stock that causes them to move up and down, but also changes in supply and demand for the options themselves. For example, if Goldman Sachs were to sell 20,000 IBM June 200 calls for 5.10, the pros who bought them would typically try to spread off the risk by selling other options against them (or perhaps by buying puts). But if the stock were to rally shortly thereafter, you can bet the June 200s would be leaden. And they might remain so for a week or more if the traders were unable to lay off all of the risk from purchasing the June 200s.
Could you trade options profitably? We must confess that we need to employ nearly every trick we've learned in 40 years just to eke out a small "positive expectation" on option trades. It's not a game one can beat if you give up a few cents here and a few cents there. For your interest, and so you can get the flavor of our recommendations, here's the "trading tout" that went out to subscribers Monday night. Judge for yourself if you could have followed the instructions, either by using a broker or a direct-access trading platform to execute the trade. Here's the tout (along with a chart that has been reproduced above). It begins with a reference to another, theoretically profitable, trade exited the day before:
QQQ (64.76): "Occasionally we benefit when we cast our lot with the scumballs who fill market orders on the opening rotation. Such was the case yesterday, when we exited a single August 68 put for 3.76 — the high of the day — off a 3.50 offer. The purpose of this gambit had been to make enough to pay for a year's subscription to Rick's Picks, and to do so using a strategy simple enough for traders of all levels of experience to employ. This we did, producing a theoretical gain sufficient to cover the price of a renewal — with enough left over to buy yourself a decent cigar. Let's plan on doing it again soon — i.e., if and when this vehicle comes down to 63.63, 10 cents above the 'D' target of the pattern shown. Bid there for four June 65 calls, but stop yourself out if they trade for 20 cents less than you paid. ______ UPDATE (2:14 p.m. EDT): The 63.53 target shown in the chart was a bulls eye. As a result, we were able to buy four June 65 calls a few pennies off the low. I'll use 1.03, the highest price reported in the chat room, as our cost basis. For now, offer two of the calls to close for 1.22, day order."

The software you use to create your embroidery designs or digitize those sent to you is almost as important as which embroidery machine you choose.
The biggest difference other than digitizing tools, or at least the one you'll notice the most when switching back and forth between Liberty and Lite, is the lack of resizing with stitch compensation. With Stitch ERA Liberty, when you scale a design the stitch count automatically changes, adding or subtracting stitches based on your size change. Stitch ERA Lite is great embroidery design software, but there is a difference!
One of the biggest advantages of Sierra's Design Era (or D-Era) product line is that you can use the same software to create for all of your apparel decorating devices!
What does this mean to you?

READ MOREReview: Sabrina D'Angelo in Body Poet | Melbourne International Comedy Festival
It's safe to say there are few comedy shows in the festival that come close to Sabrina D'Angelo's Body Poet. It's a strange and somewhat uncomfortable mix of performance art and abstract comedy that has the potential to go somewhere but is stranded by a lack of structure or storyline.
READ MOREReview: Sammy J in Potentially | Melbourne International Comedy Festival
It's hard not to like Sammy J. He's got a bird-like appeal that makes his every movement slightly comical on its own. And in a show without his trademark puppets, Potentially still shows Sammy J can hold his own.
READ MOREReview: Kitty Flanagan in Hello Kitty Flanagan | Melbourne International Comedy Festival
Comedians have a rare opportunity that they must use wisely – the chance to air their grievances about the world to a captive audience. Kitty Flanagan makes the most of this, and does so in fine style.
READ MOREReview: Lisa-Skye in Songs My Parents Taught Me | Melbourne International Comedy Festival
Patrick O'Duffy writes… In 1970s Melbourne, Bunny met Mad-Dog in a pub and a whirlwind, drug-soaked romance was born. It was a time of cheap drugs and luxurious moustaches, of Southern Comfort and V8 Holdens, when people smuggled bread into Chinese restaurants and you could be blonde enough to never need to parallel park
READ MOREReview: Geraldine Hickey in Love or a Slab of Fudge | Melbourne International Comedy Festival
In the rather small Ladies' Lounge at the Forum Theatre, Geraldine Hickey is definitely in-your-face. Hickey's Love or a Slab of Fudge is a personal narrative told for comic effect, and it is funny, if you don't mind some rather crude humour, too-much-information on occasion, and plenty of swearing.
READ MOREReview: Zoe Coombs Marr in Dave | Melbourne International Comedy Festival
Patrick O'Duffy writes… This is Dave's first Comedy Festival show, after doing 6-minutes spot in group gigs like the Comedy Hole and the Giggle Gulag. He's got some great material about sex, footy, women and how Sydney and Melbourne are different, and he's ready to repeat them over and over again until he gets a [...]
READ MOREReview: Wil Anderson in Goodwil | Melbourne International Comedy Festival
There's no doubt that a night out at a Wil Anderson show will guarantee you a solid laugh. An old hand at radio and a familiar face on our screens, he's dominated every medium but it's when he struts his stuff on stage that he's at his best.
READ MOREReview: Michael Hing in Occupy White People | Melbourne International Comedy Festival
Nina D. Flanagan writes… The crux of this show was the pitfalls of racial stereotyping. Hing discusses career success based purely on positive racism, beginning with a boss who knew he would be hard working because of his ethnicity, despite numerous obvious and irresponsible exploits. Relationship failure due to his girlfriend's misguided attempt at avoiding [...]
READ MOREReview: Never Say Always | Melbourne International Comedy Festival
Mark Pearce writes… It's a mystery to me why gay marriage has become such a vexed political issue in Australia. If anything gay marriage, when it comes, will underscore the 'normalization' of homosexuality and probably knock off some of its radical activist edge.
READ MOREReview: Alice Fraser in Word Crime | Melbourne International Comedy Festival
Patrick O'Duffy writes… Lemons. Robots. Voluptuous. Cage fighting. Obliquely. These and other words and phrases are pinned up around the stage, and over the course of her show Alice Fraser works all of them into her act – sometimes seamlessly, sometimes more obviously. Similarly, some of the complex, personal concepts in her act fit in [...]
READ MOREReview: 1 Man Debate with Simon Taylor | Melbourne International Comedy Festival
Is masculinity still relevant? That's the burning question of Simon Taylor's one man debate, a witty, cleverly crafted and stylishly delivered comedy show. Taylor presents a self exploration in a Janus-style fashion, with his opposite traits of manliness and femininity on display for the audience to laugh at and enjoy.

Cathy Alexander writes… The poster was terrible, my vodka was in a plastic cup and there was almost no one in the audience. So it was just as well Geraldine Quinn was hilarious.
READ MOREHannah Gadsby in Happiness is a Bedside Table | Melbourne International Comedy Festival
It seems to be a common theme of this year's festival – comedians talking about growing up, becoming an adult, getting their own place. Hannah Gadsby's Happiness is a Bedside Table is in this vein – Gadsby delights in having a safe place for her all-important glasses, in being 'captain of the fridge', and in [...]
READ MOREReview: Bart Freebairn in The Age of Wonder | Melbourne International Comedy Festival
Nicole Humphreys writes… Bart is a quirky and entertaining performer – The Age of Wonder is thankfully not your run-of-the-mill comedy gig. His age of wonder is childhood youth and his cleverly sculpted jokes let the audience reminisce and think about their versions of his anecdotes.
READ MOREReview: Slutmonster and Friends | Melbourne International Comedy Festival
If you've ever wondered what it might feel like to be slapped in the face with a dildo, Slutmonster goes some of the way to making that a viable possibility. Thankfully in this instance, the dildo-slapping experience is happening to somebody else. Literally.

Patrick O'Duffy writes… 'Nob Happy Sock'? What does that mean? Wait, check the poster. Apparently this is a show by Simon Keck about… how he tried to kill himself a few years ago? Does that sound like a good night out? Possibly not, but here's the thing – yes, it's a comedy show about attempted [...]
READ MOREReview: Lawrence Leung's Part Time Detective Agency | Melbourne International Comedy Festival
Lawrence Leung has garnered a fair bit of street cred and a large devoted audience in past years, partly due to his solid shows at the comedy festival but also his two series on the ABC (of which more is needed please, Aunty). So it was with no surprise that Lawrence Leung's Part-Time Detective Agency [...]
READ MOREReview: Jeff Green in Leaping off the Bell Curve | Melbourne International Comedy Festival
It's admirable how comfortable Jeff Green is on the stage, as he bounds out from behind the curtain to a crowd that knows him well. A regular performer at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, his material is solid. Relationships, children, stories from his life, nothing too risky, everything rather safe, and so many laughs that [...]
READ MOREReview: The Stevenson Experience: How I Met Your Brother | Melbourne International Comedy Festival
Patrick O'Duffy writes… Identical twins in similar shirts, Ben and James Stevenson could have taken the easy way out and done a show about being twins. Instead, they've put together a show about deciding whether to give up regular jobs to become comedians, complete with a tally board for noting the pros and cons of [...]
READ MOREReview: Poet Laureate Telia Nevile Live On Air | Melbourne International Comedy Festival
Nina D Flanagan writes… Live on Air with Poet Laureate Telia Nevile was a gamble. For the first ten minutes of this show, I was resolving never to see comedy at the Northcote Town Hall, but then I understood what was going on. This is not standard comedy festival fare: if you go in looking [...]
READ MOREReview: Dave Bloustien's Grand Guignol | Melbourne International Comedy Festival
Patrick O'Duffy writes… The Grand Guignol was a 20th century Parisian theatre that became famous for its graphic horror shows. Dave Bloustien borrows the concepts and aesthetics of Grand Guignol to present a show that mixes comedy, puppetry, theatre and storytelling into a rich, fascinating whole.
READ MOREReview: Ronny Chieng in Can You Do This? No You Can't | Melbourne International Comedy Festival
Patrick O'Duffy writes… The first thing you see when entering the Council Chambers to see Ronny Chieng is the giant Audience Rating Machine on the stage – an array of tubes filled with various numbers of ping-pong balls, like a giant bar graph. It's there, Ronny explains, to help judge how well the audience meets [...]

Here's a lesson to remember: never go and see a show thinking 'I really wanted to see this guy in my university days'. You'll regret it. Welcome to Arj Barker's Go Time, the so-so comedy show that makes you feel like you're watching a used-car salesman put sawdust in a gearbox. The aim, of course, [...]
READ MOREReview: Stephen K. Amos in The Spokesman | Melbourne International Comedy Festival
Nina D. Flanagan says… The Spokesman is not for the easily offended. Maybe we should just say it's for the hard to offend. It's part of Amos's charm that he is so comfortable on stage that he can converse with the audience and improvise, but the charm tarnishes a little when most of that improvising [...]
READ MOREReview: Jason Geary & Jimmy James Eaton in Sketch-ual Healing | Melbourne International Comedy Festival
Patrick O'Duffy writes… A lone cowboy rides into an ambush after refusing to replace his horse with a Datsun. A book lover is trapped in a sepulchral library. A supervillain applies for a job in the fast food industry. And then lights flicker, music blares and the story changes again! All part and parcel of [...]
READ MOREReview: Late O'clock with Rob Hunter | Melbourne International Comedy Festival
Patrick O'Duffy writes… Rob Hunter brings his late-night talk show of hatred back to the Comedy Festival for a third year, hellbent on insulting some of Melbourne's most loved comedians. But is it funny in its own right, or is this the kind of car-crash comedy where it's uncomfortable but you just can't look away?
READ MOREReview: Paul Foot in Kenny Larch is Dead | Melbourne International Comdey Festival
For those who aren't prepared for him, Paul Foot can take a bit of getting used to. He explodes on stage dressed in a silver jacket and tie, a combination padlock through his belt loop. His mannerisms are of someone you might find on the 86 tram to Bundoora late at night. The shock factor [...]
READ MOREReview: Mark Butler in Word Vampire | Melbourne International Comedy Festival
Patrick O'Duffy writes… 'This show's mostly about words, not much about vampires, so if you're keen on vampires you might be disappointed,' warns Mark Butler at the start of his set. Unfortunately, the show turns out not to be that much about words either – or to be all that good.
READ MOREReview: Xavier Michelides in Good Morning! | Melbourne International Comedy Festival
Patrick O'Duffy writes… Xavier Michelides is not a morning person. His morning routine of coffee, TV and general grumbling has to be just right, or it puts him in a bad mood for the rest of the day – a mood in which he can't help but think of all the things that might make [...]
READ MOREReview: Josh Thomas in Douchebag | Melbourne International Comedy Festival
Nina D. Flanagan writes… In Douchebag, Josh Thomas discusses making children cry and international exploitation, and somehow still elicits laughs rather than disgust from the audience.

Everyone who went to see Jennifer Wong in Spineless last night probably realises it wasn't her best night. The hesitant, nervous delivery of jokes worked for a while, but wore thin.

History teaches that a lack of hurricane awareness and preparation are common threads among all major hurricane disasters. By knowing your vulnerability and what actions you should take, you can reduce the effects of a hurricane disaster.
The goal of this Hurricane Awareness Web site is to inform the public about the hurricane hazards and provide knowledge which can be used to take ACTION. This information can be used to save lives at work, home, while on the road, or on the water.
Hurricane hazards come in many forms: storm surge, high winds, and tornadoes. This means it is important for your family to have a plan that includes all of these hazards. Look carefully at the safety actions associated with each type of hurricane hazard and prepare your family disaster plan accordingly. But remember this is only a guide. The first and most important thing anyone should do when facing a hurricane threat is to use common sense.
You should be able to answer the following questions before a hurricane threatens:

Colostrum is a nutrient and immunoglobulin rich fluid that is produced by the ewe shortly before parturition. Besides nutrients and immunoglobulins, colostrum also contains a wide variety of components essential to ensure the survival of a new-born lamb, it is critical to lamb survival – insufficient intake of colostrum is a major cause of neonatal fatalities.
Colostrum requires a lot of investment, energy-wise by the ewe, so if she gives birth to multiple offspring, it can be very demanding to keep up with the amount of colostrum required by her lambs. For maximum efficacy, new born lambs must consume the required amount of colostrum (around 1L) within the first 18 hours of life, putting even more pressure on the ewe.
Acute inflammation is the immediate response to an inflammatory agent (such as a pathogen or foreign material) or necrotic cells/tissue caused by cell injury and death. It undergoes many vascular changes in order to increase the amount of antibodies and leukocytes at the site of inflammation. The major contributing factors are:

History of Mac OS
This article needs additional citations for verification. (June 2008) |
On January 24, 1984, Apple Computer Inc. (now Apple Inc.) introduced the Macintosh personal computer, with the Macintosh 128K model, which came bundled with what was later renamed to Mac OS, but then known simply as the System Software.[1] The Macintosh is generally credited with popularizing the graphical user interface. Mac OS has been pre-installed on almost every Macintosh computer sold. The operating system was also sold separately in retail stores.[2] The original Macintosh system software was partially based on the Lisa OS, previously released by Apple for the Lisa computer in 1983 and, as part of an agreement allowing Xerox to buy shares in Apple at a favorable price. It also used concepts from the Xerox PARC Xerox Alto, which Steve Jobs and several other Macintosh team members had previewed.
Early history[edit]
The Macintosh project started in late 1979 with Jef Raskin, who envisioned an easy-to-use, low-cost computer for the average consumer. In September 1979, Raskin began looking for an engineer who could put together a prototype. Bill Atkinson, a member of the Apple Lisa team, introduced Raskin to Burrell Smith, a service technician who had been hired earlier that year.
In January 1981, Steve Jobs completely took over the Macintosh project. Jobs and a number of Apple engineers visited Xerox PARC in December 1979, three months after the Lisa and Macintosh projects had begun. After hearing about the pioneering GUI technology being developed at Xerox PARC from former Xerox employees like Raskin, Jobs negotiated a visit to see the Xerox Alto computer and Smalltalk development tools in exchange for Apple stock options.[3] The final Lisa and Macintosh operating systems used concepts from the Xerox Alto, but many elements of the graphical user interface were created by Apple including the menu bar, pop-up menus, and the concepts of drag and drop and direct manipulation.[4]
Unlike the IBM PC, which used 8 kB of system ROM for power-on self-test (POST) and basic input/output system (BIOS), the Mac ROM was significantly larger (64 kB) and held key OS code. Much of the original Mac ROM was coded by Andy Hertzfeld, a member of the original Macintosh team. He was able to conserve some of the precious ROM space by interleaving some of the assembly language code. In addition to the ROM, he also coded the kernel, the Macintosh Toolbox, and some of the desktop accessories (DAs). The icons of the operating system, which represented folders and application software, were designed by Susan Kare, who later designed the icons for Microsoft Windows 3.0. Bruce Horn and Steve Capps wrote the Macintosh Finder, as well as a number of Macintosh system utilities.
Apple was very strong in advertising their new machine. After it was created, the company bought all 39 pages of advertisement space in the 1984 November/December edition of Newsweek magazine. Apple was so successful in its marketing for the Macintosh that it quickly outsold its more sophisticated predecessor, the Lisa — so much so that Apple quickly developed a product called MacWorks, which allowed the Lisa to emulate Macintosh system software through System 3, by which time it had been discontinued as the re-branded Macintosh XL. Many of Lisa's operating system advances would not appear in the Macintosh operating system until System 7 or later.
The first version of Mac OS (simply called System) is easily distinguished between other operating systems from the same period because it does not use a command line interface; it was one of the first operating systems to use an entirely graphical user interface or GUI. Additional to the system kernel is the Finder, an application used for file management, which also displays the Desktop. The two files were contained in a folder directory labeled System Folder, which contained other resource files, like a printer driver, needed to interact with the System.
System 1, 2, 3 and 4[edit]
These releases could only run one application at a time, though special application shells such as Servant,[5] MultiMac,[6] or Switcher (discussed under MultiFinder) could work around this to some extent. System 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0 used a flat file system called Macintosh File System (MFS). The Finder provided virtual folders that could be used to organize files, but these were not visible from any other application and did not actually exist in the file system. System 2.0 added support for AppleTalk and the newly introduced LaserWriter to use it. System 2.1 (Finder 5.0) introduced the HFS (Hierarchical File System) which had real directories. This version was specifically to support the Hard Disk 20 and only implemented HFS in RAM; startup and most floppy disks remained MFS 400 K volumes. System 3.0 (Finder 5.1) was introduced with the Mac Plus, officially implementing HFS, 800K startup drives, support for several new technologies including SCSI and AppleShare, and Trash "bulging" (i.e., when the Trash contained files, it would gain a bulged appearance). System 4.0 was released with the Mac SE and System 4.1 first shipped with the Macintosh II—these new machines required additional support for the first expansion slots, the Apple Desktop Bus (ADB), internal hard drives and, on the Mac II, color, larger displays and the first Motorola 68020 processor.[7]
Changes in early Macintosh operating systems are best reflected in the version number of the Finder, where major leaps are found between 1.x, 4.x, 5.x, and 6.x.

System Software 5[edit]
System Software 5 (also referred to as "System 5") added MultiFinder, an extension which let the system run several programs at once. The system used a co-operative multitasking model, meaning that time was given to the background applications only when the running application yielded control. A change in system functions that applications were already calling to handle events made many existing applications share time automatically. Users could also choose not to use MultiFinder, thereby sticking with using a single application at a time as in previous releases of the system software.
System Software 5 was the first Macintosh operating system to be given a unified "Macintosh System Software" version number, as opposed to the numbers used for the System and Finder files. It was available for a very short time and only in some countries, including the United States, Canada and some European countries.[which?]

System Software 6[edit]
System Software 6 (also referred to simply as System 6) was a consolidation release of the Mac OS, producing a complete, stable, and long-lasting operating system. Two major hardware introductions requiring additional support under System 6 were the 68030 processor and 1.44 MB SuperDrive debuting with the Macintosh IIx and Macintosh SE/30. Later, it would include support for the first specialized laptop features with the introduction of the Macintosh Portable. From System 6 forward, the Finder would have a unified version number closely matching that of the System, alleviating much of the confusion caused by the often considerable differences between earlier Systems.[16]

System 7[edit]
On May 13, 1991, System 7 was released. It was a major upgrade to the Mac OS, adding a significant user interface overhaul, new applications, stability improvements and many new features. Its introduction coincided with the release of and provided support for the 68040 Macintosh line. The System 7 era saw numerous changes in the Macintosh platform including a proliferation of Macintosh models, the 68k to Power Macintosh transition as well as the rise of Microsoft Windows, increasing use of computer networking and the explosion in popularity of the internet.
Perhaps the most significant feature of System 7 was virtual memory support, which previously had only been available as a third-party add-on.[citation needed] Accompanying this was a move to 32-bit memory addressing, necessary for the ever-increasing amounts of RAM available to the Motorola 68030 CPU, and 68020 CPUs with a 68551 PMMU. This process involved making all of the routines in OS code use the full 32-bits of a pointer as an address — prior systems used the upper 8 bits as flags. This change was known as being "32-bit clean". While System 7 itself was 32-bit clean, many existing machines and thousands of applications were not, so it was some time before the process was completed. To ease the transition, the "Memory" control panel contained a switch to disable this feature, allowing for compatibility with older applications.
One notable System 7 feature was built-in co-operative multitasking. In System Software 6, this function was optional through the MultiFinder. System 7 also introduced aliases, similar to shortcuts that were introduced in later versions of Microsoft Windows. System extensions were enhanced by being moved to their own subfolder; a subfolder in the System Folder was also created for the control panels. In System 7.5, Apple included the Extensions Manager, a previously third-party program which simplified the process of enabling and disabling extensions.
The Apple menu, home only to desk accessories in System 6, was made more general-purpose: the user could now make often-used folders and applications—or anything else they desired—appear in the menu by placing aliases to them in an "Apple Menu Items" subfolder of the System Folder. System 7 also introduced the following: AppleScript, a scripting language for automating tasks; 32-bit QuickDraw, supporting so-called "true color" imaging, previously available as a system extension; and TrueType, an outline font standard.
The Trash, under System 6 and earlier, would empty itself automatically when shutting down the computer or, if MultiFinder were not running, when launching an application. System 7 reimplemented the Trash as a special hidden folder, allowing files to remain in it across reboots until the user deliberately chose the "Empty Trash" command.
System 7.1 was mainly a bugfix release, with a few minor features added. System 7.1 was not only the first Macintosh operating system to cost money (all previous versions were free or sold at the cost of the floppies), but also received a "Pro" sibling with extra features. System 7.1.2 was the first version to support PowerPC-based Macs. System 7.1 also introduced the System Enablers as a method to support new models without updating the actual System file. This led to extra files inside the system folder (one per new model supported).
System 7.5 introduced a large number of new features, many of which were based on shareware applications that Apple bought and included into the new system.[19][20] On the newer PowerPC machines, System 7.5 may have had stability problems partly due to a new memory manager (which can be turned off),[citation needed] and issues with the handling of errors in the PowerPC code (all PowerPC exceptions mapped to Type 11). These issues did not affect 68k-architecture machines. System 7.5 was contemporary with Apple's failed Copland effort as well as the release of Windows 95, which may explain Apple's purchase of several shareware system enhancements to include as new system features.
Mac OS 7.6[edit]
This section does not cite any references or sources. (June 2008) |
Stability improved in PPC Macs with Mac OS 7.6, which dropped the "System" moniker as a more trademarkable name was needed in order to license the OS to the growing market of third-party Macintosh clone manufacturers. Mac OS 7.6 required 32-bit-clean ROMs, and so dropped support for every Mac with a 68000, as well as the Mac II, Mac IIx, Mac IIcx, and Mac SE/30.

Mac OS 8[edit]
This section does not cite any references or sources. (June 2008) |
Mac OS 8 was released on July 26, 1997, shortly after Steve Jobs returned to the company. It was mainly released to keep the Mac OS moving forward during a difficult time for Apple. Initially planned as Mac OS 7.7, it was renumbered "8" to exploit a legal loophole and accomplish Jobs's goal of terminating third-party manufacturers' licenses to System 7 and shutting down the Macintosh clone market.[21] 8.0 added a number of features from the abandoned Copland project, while leaving the underlying operating system unchanged. A multi-threaded Finder was included, enabling better multi-tasking. Files could now be copied in the background. The GUI was changed in appearance to a new shaded greyscale look called Platinum, and the ability to change the appearance themes (also known as skins) was added with a new control panel. This capability was provided by a new "appearance" API layer within the OS, one of the few significant changes.
Apple sold 1.2 million copies of Mac OS 8 in its first two weeks of availability and 3 million within six months. In light of Apple's financial difficulties at the time, there was a large grassroots movement among Mac users to upgrade and 'help save Apple'. Even some pirate groups refused to redistribute the OS.[22][23]
Mac OS 8.1 saw the introduction of an updated version of the Hierarchical File System called HFS Plus, which fixed many of the limitations of the earlier system (HFS Plus continues to be used in OS X). There were some other interface changes such as separating network features from printing, and some improvements to application switching. However, in underlying technical respects, Mac OS 8 was not very different from System 7.
Mac OS 8.5 focused on speed and stability, with lots of old 68k code replaced by modern code native to the PowerPC. It also improved the appearance on the system, although the theming feature was cut late in development.
- Mac OS 8.0 (first version to require a 68040 processor, dropping support for the remainder of the Macintosh II series and other 68030 Macs, added support for the PowerPC G3 processor)
- Mac OS 8.1 (last version to run on a 68K processor, added support for USB on the Bondi iMac, added support for HFS+)
- Mac OS 8.5 (first version to run only on a PowerPC processor, added built-in support for Firewire on the PowerMac G3)
- Mac OS 8.5.1 (bug fixes that were causing crashes)
- Mac OS 8.6 (included a new nanokernel for improved performance and Multiprocessing Services 2.0 support, added support for the PowerPC G4 processor)
Mac OS 9[edit]
This section does not cite any references or sources. (June 2008) |
Mac OS 9 was released on October 23, 1999. It was generally a steady evolution from Mac OS 8. Early development releases of Mac OS 9 were numbered 8.7.
Mac OS 9 added improved support for AirPort wireless networking. It introduced an early implementation of multi-user support. Though not a true multi-user operating system, Mac OS 9 did allow multiple desktop users to have their own data and system settings. An improved Sherlock search engine added several new search plug-ins. Mac OS 9 also provided a much improved memory implementation and management. AppleScript was improved to allow TCP/IP and networking control. Mac OS 9 also made the first use of the centralized Apple Software Update to find and install OS and hardware updates. Other new features included its on-the-fly file encryption software with code signing and Keychain technologies, Remote Networking and File Server packages and much improved list of USB drivers.
Mac OS 9 also added some transitional technologies to help application developers adopt some OS X features before the introduction of the new OS to the public, again easing the transition. These included new APIs for the file system, and the bundling of the Carbon library that apps could link against instead of the traditional API libraries — apps that were adapted to do this can be run natively on OS X as well. Other changes were made beginning with the Mac OS 9.1 update to allow it to be launched in the "Classic Environment" within OS X. This is a compatibility layer in OS X versions prior to 10.5 (in fact an OS X application, originally codenamed the "blue box") that runs a nearly complete Mac OS 9 operating system, allowing applications that have not been ported to Carbon to run on OS X. This is reasonably seamless, though "classic" applications retain their original Mac OS 8/9 appearance and do not gain the OS X "Aqua" appearance.

OS X[edit]
OS X /ˈoʊ ˌɛs ˈtɛn/[24] is the line of graphical operating systems developed, marketed, and sold by Apple Inc. which succeeded the original Mac OS, which had been Apple's primary operating system since 1984. Unlike the earlier Macintosh operating system, OS X is a Unix-based operating system[25] built on technology developed at NeXT from the second half of the 1980s until early 1997, when Apple purchased the company.[26]
The first version was OS X Server 1.0 in 1999, which retained the earlier Mac operating system's "platinum" appearance and even resembled OPENSTEP in places. The desktop-oriented version, OS X, followed in March 2001 supporting the new Aqua user interface. Since then, seven more distinct "end-user" and "server" versions have been released. In July 2011 OS X v10.7 was released with new features, such as Launch Pad, which is a springboard-style home for applications, similar to the iPad, iPod and iPhone; and Mission Control, a functionally improved replacement for Exposé.[27] Releases of OS X up to v10.8 are named after big cats. For example, Apple calls OS X v10.5 "Leopard", while its previous release was called "Tiger". Starting in v10.9, releases will be named after places in California.
Versions of OS X:
- OS X v10.0 (Cheetah)
- OS X v10.1 (Puma)
- OS X v10.2 (Jaguar)
- OS X v10.3 (Panther)
- OS X v10.4 (Tiger)
- OS X v10.5 (Leopard)
- OS X v10.6 (Snow Leopard)
- OS X v10.7 (Lion)
- OS X v10.8 (Mountain Lion)
- OS X v10.9 (Mavericks)
