Rio Brazilian Steakhouse
Online Reservations
Tania's cheery demeanor and attention to detail was what made our dining experience memorable.
Totally enjoyed the experience. The selection of meats was good and varied. Everything was cooked perfectly and most importantly all the meats had distinct flavours. I will definitely go back!
Found that we had to call the meat servers and had to wait a long time for the meats we liked to come around. But the food was very good and well prepared. Liked the samba dancers and the capoeira just wish they were on a raised platform and that they did not always have to rearrange the floating floor, not only was in annoying to feel the floor move beneath you but it was frustrating too. Also felt the dancers music was too loud for the size of restaurant we were in. It was difficult to hear ourselves speak at times. All that said it was a positive experience and will certainly go there again.
Food was great. Service was decent considering it was Mother's Day and the venue was packed. Would go again (preferably on a weekday).
Delightful!!! Enjoyed it very much, the only downfall was the buffet did not have any fruit ,desserts or refreshments. The atmosphere however was quit enchanting and enjoyable. Also very recommendable for teenagers...endless meat.
I absolutely love this place... I have been there so many times and will come back... The food is excellent, the service I great, the ambient is fantastic...
We had a party of 30 and the rodizio style of eating worked well. The Brazilian dancers were lovely and added a fun touch. The salad bar selection was quite good and although I didn't try them myself I heard that the mussels were excellent. My only complaint is that the meat was slow to come around and many of the cuts were quite tough. The chicken wrapped in bacon was delicious though!
The food and service of this restaurant is just amazing... I try to go there as often as I can. Always eat lots and enjoy my meals... I super recommend!!!
This is not a place for small stomachs. Come with a big appetite and be willing to adjust your waistband. There is a buffet but get very little of that because the meats are the star of this place. Our night started off with the most juiciest sausage and ended with chicken wrapped bacon. I just wish I had two stomachs to eat more than I did.
We went to rio hoping it would be similar to another place we had been, here was what I found. The location and decor was very nice. The food was good, the best meats were the top sirloin and the sausage and the pork. The salad bar had lots of choices and was very fresh. The roasted pineapple was delicious.
Great place for Brazilian steaks. Waiters are very friendly and food is quite good. The buffet table has variety of salads, pasta, rice and some seafood. The main attraction, of course, are the steaks. They come from skewers and waiters carve them at your table. I wouldn't say the meat is high quality but the variety makes up for it Because they serve alcohol, the place can get quite noisy but not as much as pubs
I've been to the steakhouse multiple times previously with my family and it's been a great experience each time. The only thing lacking for me this trip was the abundance of meat. I found it was a choice from maybe only 3-4 meats and the variety wasn't as much as I was led it to be.
This was my first Brazilian Steakhouse experience and it was fantastic. All the food was delicious, from the pork sausage to the steak and even the beans on the buffet line. 5 stars all the way.
Rio is a fun place with the meats being served on the huge skewers.It was a good variety,good pace and very tasty.the unique Brazilian dish with meat in a sauce,and beans served over rice was very nice.Hot buffet - excellent.Cold buffet good but perhaps more variety.Entertainers were colourful and good. Great experience and we will return soon.
The staff are great. I'm Brazilian and the food quality and the way the staff help you is very valuable! The beef ribs, picanha (top sirloin) and the pineapple that are served are the best call! I would go back there for sure.
Group of 6 parents getting out on the town, no kids! Decided to try Rio, glad we did! Excellent food, the meat that came by was all perfectly cooked, most of the steak was right around medium rare and very juicy. Buffet portion was well stocked, fresh, and had lots of choice. Only disappointment was the service, but not that of the meat servers. Meat service was fast and constant, but general table service during the meal, while friendly and helpful, was merely adequate. Overall a wonderful dining experience, will be back for sure!
This was a first time to Rio, we are a family of 4 celebrating a birthday, staff was very friend and food was great. Buffet had a lot of variety, delicious seafood and BBQ meats were great. Will recommend to friends and family
We booked a reservation for 10:00 PM on a Friday. At 9:00 I got a call, asking us to come ASAP, since they stop serving food at 10:30. OpenTable needs to more accurately represent them, as I could have booked a table for 10:30 online! We got there at 9:40, and the female dancers were done, and we got about 10 minutes of the male dancer. Good fun! The food was great, lots of variety, my friends enjoyed the pasta bar. Our server was AMAZING! Very friendly, and poured a wicked caipirinha!
In our recent night out, we had a diverse group: a vegetarian, meat lovers, Muslims, big eaters, picky eaters ... all were accommodated with ease (and no menu :) ) ... the BBQ meat was good as anticipated; however, the surprise of the night was the quality of seafood on the buffet ... there was a good variety, well prepared and most enjoyable ....an definite advantage to the buffet style along with table side service was that there was none of the service hassles of ordering and serving associated with large groups .... we would definitely go there again for a unique experience ...
I live in the West End, where donairs, sushi, burgers, and pizza are common finds. Rio is the perfect spot for an escape from ordinary food. There are reviews of overcooked meat, and horrible service, but our visit on a Thursday was the exact opposite. Around $80 for two got us all the salad and meat we could handle, with a few drinks to boot. Our server was incredibly adorable and kind. Meat was cooked to perfection; crispy outside, pink inside, perfect temperature, and there was about 6-8 different types of meat from bacon wrapped chicken, sirloin, chicken hearts, and even cinnamon grilled pineapple. Ambience could use a bit of work, but the place was empty on a weeknight. Highly recommended.
Went to Rio the first time shortly after it opened. It was not too busy but still quite fun with the performers and music. This Saturday night the place was hopping but service was still adequate. The meat was plentiful and delicious and the salad bar has expanded and now there is a fresh to order pasta bar. Overall a fun spot to hit up with a hungry group as they are happy to accomodate large groups and you can eat all you like!
We celebrated our son's 14th birthday here with a group of 12. The food was wonderful and the service was impeccable. The room is very clean and pleasant. Overall, a wonderful experience.
Service w as excellent, food was excellent, servers excellent only thing we found missing was the ambience your restaurant had at the old location on Alberni. Toni our waitress was an absolute delight, kind, thoughtful, great sense of humour as she attended to the needs of our large group of teenagers. Thank you Toni for making my life a little easier that night!
Servers are very friendly and keep frequently bringing the different cuts of meat to your table, so there is never a wait.

Often I am told I look like a number of famed actresses. I thought I would compile a few photos of these actresses for fun. It goes from the most commonly compared, to the lesser and me. I agree with some more than others. Mia Farrow is the newest I've heard. I like that one!

ALBANY - Jack McEeneny has dropped the gavel in the state Assembly for the last time.
The retiring assemblyman closed out the 2012 session Monday -- and his long career in politics.
Gaveling out the session has been the job of the Albany assemblyman for his 20 years in office. He does that when the Assembly is in recess, because the Capitol is in his district. It's a formality performed so the legislature can reconvene without an order from the governor.
McEneny chose not to run for re-election. Patricia Fahey was sworn in Friday as his successor.

Companies have been experimenting with graphic design for years now. It's not uncommon to see one business alter just their style to make themselves look like a completely different company the next day. The reason that this happens is because image is everything. It affects how consumers view a business, what they think about it and how likely they are to purchase from that business.
...What to do and what notâ¦
More than 4 billion people worldwide are using mobile phones capable of browsing the net on-devise. Whilst it is not necessary for web designers to learn new code, they would definitely need to change their approach and way of thinking when designing for mobile devises. You need to create a site that is just as user-friendly and capable as your standard site. Consider the following tips to get you on your way to a fully functional, user friendly mobile website!
First, letâs explore the terminology behind the terms ârasterizedâ and âvectorâ to get an understanding of what they are, what they are not and the difference between the two.
- The basics to get you started
You are designing an advert for a new product. After phoning up the client to inquire about images the product gets slapped on your table. âWe have not had the chance to have professional images taken yet. Could you please snap a photo and do your magic in Photoshop?â This exact scenario happens countless of times. Especially if you are freelance designer, or run a studio by yourself. With the prices of prosumer SLR cameraâs becoming more and more affordable, learning a bit of photography is the way forward for designers.
Letâs have a look at the basics to get you snapping.
You've taken the pictures and shot the videos, but the hard work has barely begun. Every picture you take, every video you capture needs to go through a rigorous post-production phase to give it that professional quality. Skip post-production, and your work - no matter how well shot - will be no different than the thousands of videos littering YouTube.
- To Make Your Site Stand Out
Web design is a competitive business. No matter how interesting or unique the content of a website is, if the design is poor, visitors won't want to browse the site. Web design should not only complement the theme and purpose of the website, but it should make browsing and reading an easy and intuitive experience for the visitor.
Create a Melting Face Tutorial
Photoshop is a powerful tool that allows you to create surprisingly realistic effects. At the same time, for those just starting out, using the program can be overwhelming. Doing small Photoshop projects for fun is a great way to improve your skills, especially when it comes to face effects. These kinds of skills make the program indispensable for graphic designers, visual artists, photographers, and more. In this Photoshop tutorial, I will show you how to make a photo of someone's face look as if it's melting, Ã la Salvador DalÃ.
...While people in America are still enjoying their stay at tropical destinations and getaways this Summer, it's time that marketers and business owners plan in advance for their upcoming back to school campaign. Just like any other holiday, back to school celebrations prepare students for the upcoming school year and to maximize the remaining days of their glorious Summer. This is why business owners should take advantage of this opportunity by coming up with promotions for their latest offering of products and services and holding parties to end their vacations with a bang.
If you plan to hold your own marketing campaign this coming school year and use print materials to promote said campaign, then it's best to refer to back to school design ideas available online below. Each collection follows a particular theme that is also discussed below.

How does one create an eye catching poster? We have made a list of guidelines about what makes an eye catching poster:
Have you ever wanted to be a pirate? Perhaps when you were young, the idea of wearing a patch over an eye, firing cannon balls, and amassing huge chests of plundered gold appealed to you. If you don't have the energy or motivation to find a ship or get a crew together, don't fret. You can still act the part! In the following tutorial, I will show you how to manipulate a photo of yourself to make it look as if you've been swashbuckling across the open seas. |
In a world full of multinationals that have universal recognition, ensuring that all printing ink colours on paper are the same and there is no discrepancy in marketing and advertising is a must. Thatâs where the standardised pallet of colours called Pantone comes to the fore.
As a business owner, there are so many decisions to make about the look of your business. Colour is often the most difficult choice â there are seemingly endless pieces of advice out there regarding which colours you should choose to express your intended message.
(HINT: Stop adding fake "friends")
Lots of people tout the effectiveness of social media, but how many actually utilize it properly? Buying gigs on Fiverr to add 1000 fake friends is NOT how you get converting leads using social media. Sure, it might appear to give your company credibility to others, but other than that buying friends or page likes has no other real benefit. Also, don't believe for a minute that any of these "likes" or "friends" that sellers are providing you are real human connections of any benefit. In this article we will look at some general principles that actually get targeted customers to your page and keep them there.

A business card is one of the most cost effective and powerful ways of advertising. It's compact, low-cost, low-tech, and keeps working for hours, weeks and even years after it leaves your hands. Even in today's tech-dominated world, people use cards when doing business.
The main purpose of your business card is to present your contact information. But, if you're not using the back of your card, you're wasting an inexpensive way to catch and keep your customer's attention. Here are some useful ideas to get you started:
Creative Designs is happy to announce the start of our new Competition where you stand a chance of winning a Kindle e-Reader with wi-fi!
...A logo is not your brand, nor is it your identity. Logo design, identity design and branding all have different roles, which collectively, form a perceived image for a company or product.
Your small business identity created that all-important first impression. Motive enough to put considerable effort into all the design elements. Start with a clear idea of how you wish to project your vision and values. Remember too that professional logo designers have the skills to bring your vision to fruition. Here are some tips when it comes ti implementing a strategy for your small business identity:
Adverts come in many shapes and sizes, but they ultimately all have the same objective â to sell a product, service or brand. Text, visuals or a combination of the two, are the essential elements of any print ad. Remember, people wonât even see your advertisement unless you can grab their attention and persuade them that they should read all you have to say.
If you donât capture your reader with your headline and design, your advert will be ineffective and a waste of money. You either need to make your advert so brilliant that it stands out, or so simple that it grabs the readersâ eye because of its minimalism.
To underline the importance of a corporate logo to a company, here is a quote from Donald Trump, âI wasn't satisfied just to earn a good living. I was looking to make a statementâ. Is that not how everybody should feel when considering branding your company and making a statement for your business identity? That is precisely what a corporate logo does; it creates a unique presence for your business. If nobody knows who your company is, or what business you are in, you are not making a statement. You have no defining design with which people can match you to your business. For example, think of a window â and immediately everybody thinks of Bill Gates. That is a very obvious example, but illustrates what I was getting at. What design triggers the thought your business?
Once you have your website designed and set up, it is time to go into business. Or is it? Have you got a website header that will stop people in their tracks? Does your website header immediately grab their attention? If you are not getting much traffic to your website, you can work out for yourself that maybe the design of the header is not quite as good or attractive as it should be. Because it has nothing special or different about it, nobody is bothering to even look twice at your company website. And with no website traffic, business will be very slow, if not completely non-existent. There will be no gateway connecting you to the rest of the world.

Whey Gold Meal The Bigger Picture of meal Replacement To maintain lean muscle mass you need to consume high-protein meals 5-6 times a day. Whey Gold meal is a quick, convenient, and delicious meal providing premium proteins, quality carbohydrates, dietary fiber, vitamins, and essential minerals, By using only whey protein, the same instantized proteins (isolates, concentrates, and hydrolusates) found in our 100% Whey Gold Standard, we created a uniquely superior meal replacement of the highest nutritional value. Whey Gold Meal compromises nothing. The Protein Power of Whey highest scoring: As you probably know of different protein sources have varies digestion and absorption rates. Amino acid profiles differ as well. But whey protein have ht highest Biological Value, Protein Digestibility corrected amino acid score, and Protein Efficiency Ratio compared with any other single protein. Whey wins out because it's rich in all essential amino acids, it's rapidly digested, and easily assimilated. Glutamine & Glutamine Precursors: Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the human body. However, heavy lifting and extreme physical exertion may exceed the body's ability to synthesize glutamine levels to fall, which could potentially weaken your immune system. That's why 16% of the total protein in each serving of Whey Gold Meal is comprised of naturally occurring glutamine and glutamine precursors. Branched Chain Amino Acids: BCAAs are unique in that they can be directly metabolized by muscle tissue to sere as an important fuel source during strenuous physical activity. Whey protein is one of nature's best sources of the three branched chain amino acids, leucine, isoleucine,and valine. Rapid Delivery: Whey protein are some of the fastest digesting proteins available, which means you are able to absorb vital nutrients a short time before your workout. Rapid amino acid delivery is also critical immediately following your workout, when your liver and muscles are primed for recovery and glycogen resynthesis. Typical Amino Acid (Milligrams per serving) Essentials Amino Acids, Tryptophan 775, Valine 2616, Threonine 2917, Isoleucine 2803, Leucine 4942, Lysine 4111, Phenylalanine 1547, Methionine 955, Conditionally Essential Amino Acids, Arginine 1069, Cystine 792, Tyrosine 1370, Histidine 893, Proline 2506, Glutamine & Presursors, Nonessential Amino Acids (NAAs) Aspartic Acid 4828, Serine 2146, Glycine 835, Alanine 2205. Shake up your shake: If your want to add some ingredients to make you shake a bit less routine here are a few ideas. To increase the carbohydrate content in you Whey Gold Meal for additional energy and faster glycogen replenishment, try using fruit juice or nonfat milk in place of water. Or try adding fresh or frozen fruit. You can also add any of the following ingredients or supplement to you Whey Gold Meal.

Don't have a shaker cup? Visit optimumnutrition.com and order a custom On shaker, or visit your local health food store or gym. Tip: Mixing one scoop with 14-16 fl oz. of nonfat milk instead of water will give you a thicker, creamier shake.

By Russell Holderness
February is National Dental Health Month, a time to remind people of the importance of taking care of their teeth. In the past, we have focused on children's oral health, but people who wear dentures also need to practice good dental health.
As most denture patients will attest, nothing beats natural teeth in form and function. In fact, some have said to expect only about 60 percent of function when using dentures. That is why preserving your own teeth is worth every ounce of effort.
But, if you are considering dentures, keep in mind that folks are generally much happier with their upper denture than the lower denture.
The roof of the mouth creates a suctioning effect, which tends to keep the denture secure under most conditions. The lower denture not only lacks this extra support but also has the added burden of the tongue maneuvering around, which tends to dislodge it.
Overall denture retention may be somewhat increased with the use of a denture adhesion paste. On the other hand, I've found that most people use too much of the product, which can be counterproductive (and make cleaning the denture burdensome). Three dots of paste applied to the denture are all that is needed.
The best choice for retention is often to have your dentures supported by a series of dental implants placed in the bone. The denture then can be mated to the implants via an attachment mechanism. This extra retention equipment improves customer satisfaction but can significantly add to the cost.
The most common mistake people make with dentures is wearing them all the time, even at night. This is never a good idea, as it creates the perfect environment for bacterial and fungal infections. Your oral tissues also need a break of at least six hours per day from your dentures to remain healthy.
When you do take your dentures out at night, store them in water. If the denture is allowed to dry out repeatedly, it will become brittle and may crack.
Here are some other tips for denture wearers:
Never clean dentures with toothpaste. It is too abrasive and will destroy the finish. Use hand soap, denture cleaner or a solution of a small amount of baking soda mixed with water.
Never attempt to bleach dentures. It doesn't work, and the gum portion will turn white or yellow.
When you get your first set of dentures, be patient. It may take up to six weeks to get comfortable using them. You may even sound different when you speak at first. Practice speaking by reading aloud.
Even with dentures, be sure to continue to visit your dentist twice a year for an oral cancer screening.

Ambulance ≠ Free Pass to the Front of the Line
The ambulance is not a taxi.
The ambulance is not a free pass.
Just because you picked up the phone and called 911 and they came and got you and they brought you to the ED does not mean that you are having an emergency.
Who decides if you're having an emergency? That's right. ME.
Just because you were here two days ago for your 99-degree fever and slight cough does not mean that you get to be ahead of all the people with 101 fevers and coughs who have been waiting three hours to be seen. You're no sicker now than you were then.
Lying down on the floor (EW! do you KNOW what has been on the floor before you lay there?) is NOT going to get you my sympathy. In fact, what it will get is a doctor hovering over you, telling you to get up, you're fine, and then two security guards to escort you to the waiting room.

Nah, the medics already decided it wasn't an emergency. I always took some solace in clearly pointing out that I was going to park them in the waiting room, and frequently didn't even hit up the Ambulance entrance. Just hit the drive through and dropped off.....

Nothing wrong with taking the stretcher/wheelchair/or just walking the patient right into the waiting room, having the patient sit in a chair just like everyone else and having them triaged according to the seriousness of their condition.

Agree. Amazing the waste of ambulance time by lonely LOLNADS or chronic pain patients, who think it will get them some faster attention.

Up in the Frozen Northland, our waiting room is often empty, so people DO get to "go straight back"...but all that means is that we park your ass in a ROOM where you wait until the nurses are good and ready to deal with your non-emergent problem! :-D

People often look at you agast when you tell them they can go to the waiting room. "BUT I CAME IN AN AMBULANCE!!!"

I've been telling my 'not-really-sick' patients this before we hit the road for years. Amazingly enough none of them believe me until we hit the ambulance entrance and I wave at the charge nurse as we go by they desk into triage. Then they get upset....

Amazingly, even people who have tried this before, try it again. Can't fix stupid I guess.
And now, faking a seizure does NOT improve the odds. At best, you get dirty clothes to sit in, at worst you have the EMS crews hold up index cards with scores on them.
Low scores. - May 31, 2009 at 10:25 AM

It's even funnier when they call our service and an ambulette or wheelchair van picks them up. THEN we get to tell them it's not a "free ride" as insurance doesn't cover that kind of service;)

God, this happens ALL the time at my fire department!
We get called out on some BS medical run: nausea, flu-like symptoms, mild fever, etc.
And we explain to them that going by ambulance to the emergency department WILL NOT get them seen by a doc any quicker, because there's someone there called a TRIAGE NURSE, who will sort their sorry-ass right out to the waiting room!
Typically we have to weave our way past a maze of personal vehicles parked in the driveway—it never occurred to them to get in one and drive themselves to the clinic.
And, oh, yes, they wait until 3 a.m. to call.
I figure you nurses must hate us, but because of liability issues the department makes us transport them. - June 2, 2009 at 10:39 AM
OK, this is kind of funny - once, about 20 years ago, I had an asthma attack (I thought it was pretty bad) and called 911. They whisked me off off to the extremely busy local ER, where the triage nurse took one look at me and had me dumped off in the lobby. Huh. Guess my asthma attack wasn't that bad after all.....needless to say, I never did that again.

Reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) is also known as complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). It is a painful nerve problem that often occurs in the hand or foot that has been hurt. If untreated, the pain and weakness that RSD may cause can limit use of the injured region.
Getting injured may trigger RSD. It can be something minor, like a sprain or a cut. Or, it may be more severe, like a fracture. As you're healing, you may feel new, severe pain in the injured region. That pain may spread through the injured limb. Over time, other symptoms may appear.
Symptoms and signs of RSD can begin right away, or may not show up until about 2 weeks after you get hurt. If you aren't treated soon, the symptoms can worsen or change over time. Below are symptoms and signs that can occur in the injured region:
Severe, burning pain
Sensitive to touch
Swollen, reddish look
Warm and sweaty sensation
Skin slowly withering (shriveling)
Skin that becomes dry and shiny
Loss of strength
Strange hair growth
Ridges in skin look flatter than normal

Movie Review | The Day I Saw Your Heart: Actress interesting in understated role

The Day I Saw Your Heart is a film about fathers and daughters.
Michel Blanc plays a many-times married businessman — a wonderful character who's fussy and eccentric and gets into trouble wherever he goes.
His daughter (Melanie Laurent), an X-ray technician, finds him baffling and frustrating — and infuriating in his propensity for making friends with all her ex-boyfriends.
Laurent has an interesting screen quality, sensitive and yet with an occasional edge of impassiveness, an unwillingness to engage in comforting niceties.
Writer-director Jennifer Devoldere created the role with Laurent in mind and makes use of that special quality, particularly in a scene in which she looks at her father's X-ray and detects what could be a serious health problem. She cares, but there's nothing sentimental about her.
The portrait of a contemporary Jewish family in Paris is rounded out by Florence Loiret Caille, who plays Laurent's sister.
Loiret Caille is regarded by no less than Catherine
Deneuve as one of the best of today's young French actresses.

I would absolutely run / without a journal if / is on media that I won't be able to access after a shutdown (a ramdisk for example)
I don't remember seeing anything in the AWS management console that would let you reboot an instance, are you talking about rebooting it from inside the instance? If you can do that you don't need a journal because you can still do a clean shutdown. I don't consider the system to have crashed. I count a crash as being when the system stops without being able to do any cleanup (kernel hang or power off on traditional hardware)
EC2 (local) instance storage
Posted Dec 9, 2012 1:18 UTC (Sun) by man_ls (guest, #15091) [Link]
The AWS console has an option to reboot a machine, between "Terminate" and "Stop". You can also do it programmatically using EC2 commands, e.g. if the machine stops responding.

I don't think this is what FALLOC_FL_NO_HIDE_STALE is about. FALLOC_FL_NO_HIDE_STALE is about not zeroing something that this filesystem has not allocated before, but if you have a disk that has a valid ext4 filesystem on it and plug that disk into another computer, you can just read the filesystem.
When you delete a file, the data remains on the disk and root can go access the raw device and read the data that used to be in a file.
by default, when a filesystem allocates a block to a new file, it zeros out the data on that block, it's this step that FALLOC_FL_NO_HIDE_STALE lets you skip.
the If you really had raw access to the local instance storage without the hypervisor doing something, then you could just mount whatever filesystem the person before you left there. To avoid this Amazon would need to wipe the disks, and since it takes a long time to write a TB or so of data (even on SSDs), I'm guessing that they do something much easier, like doing some sort of encryption to make it so that one instance can't see data written by a prior instance.
Posted Dec 9, 2012 12:04 UTC (Sun) by man_ls (guest, #15091) [Link]
I don't know how Amazon (or the hypervisor) prevents access to the raw disk, where unallocated sectors might be found and scavenged even if the filesystem is erased. I guess they do something clever or we would have heard about people reading Zynga's customer database from a stale instance.
Posted Dec 9, 2012 16:01 UTC (Sun) by Cyberax (✭ supporter ✭, #52523) [Link]
Amazon doesn't care about your filesystem. AMIs are just dumps of block devices - Amazon simply unpacks them onto a suitable disk. You're free to use any filesystem you want (there might be problems with the bootloader, but they are not insurmountable).
You certainly can access the underlying disk device.

This is exactly what I'm talking about.
There are basically three approaches to doing this without the cooperation of the OS running on the instance (which you don't have)
1. the hypervisor zeros out the entire drive before the hardware is considered available again.
2. the hypervisor does encryption of the blocks with a random key for each instance, loose the key and reading the blocks just returns garbage
3. the hypervisor tracks what blocks have been written to and only returns valid data for those blocks.
I would guess #1 or #2, and after thinking about it for a while would not bet either way
#1 is simple, but it takes a while (unless the drive has direct support for trim and effectively implements #3 in the drive, SSDs may do this)
#2 is more expensive, but it allows the system to be re-used faster

Posted Dec 10, 2012 3:27 UTC (Mon) by dlang (✭ supporter ✭, #313) [Link]
It seems like trying to keep a map of if this block has been written to would be rather expensive to do at the hypervisor level, particularly if you are talking about large drives.
Good to know that you should get zeros for uninitialized sectors.

It's well documented that fresh EBS volumes keep track of touched blocks; to get full performance on random writes you need to touch every block first. That implies to me that they don't even allocate the block on the back end until it's written to.
Not sure how instance storage initialization works, though.
Posted Dec 10, 2012 6:34 UTC (Mon) by dlang (✭ supporter ✭, #313) [Link]
As you say, instance local storage is different.

Roy's Chandler
Online Reservations
Service was amazing and the food was even better. We are often disappointed when we go out to dinner, either the food is typically mediocre at best and the service is in line with the food. This is not the case here, the food was great, the service was better than great, just a great dining experience overall.
When traveling, I like to take advantage of visiting restaurants of notable chefs, and was glad to see Roy's nearby where I was in Chandler. The service simply could not have been better, and made the evening what it was. The food, of course, was terrific as anticipated. Seafood choices abound, and are all worthy of consideration. Desserts are not to be overlooked, especially the 20-minute-lead-time pineapple upside down cake, which pairs superbly with a glass of port.
Roy's is outstanding when it comes to food. We were seated in a corner with a water stand for serving. Finally after being distrubed while the wait staff grabbed water - I said I felt uncomfortable and they had me move around the table which was for four with just two of us. Now I am staring at the water table. I felt they should have moved us since there were plenty of tables available at our dinner seating. Otherwise, it was an excellent birthday and mom's day dinner.
This was our first visit to Roy's and will not be our last. The ambience was outstanding. Food was great as well as the service, both in the dining area and the bar. Would definitely recommend this restaurant to our friends.
We've occasionally visited Roy's here locally and when in Hawaii. My husband could not stop talking about how much he loved the sushi and steak/crab he had for dinner. Food was prepared very well and the service was great.
Was looking for a Seafood restaurant thru Open Table and we found Roy's. Very nice evening . The sauces were awesome, made the fish different......than other restaurants.
Everything was wonderful, but our bill included items we did not order. When I told the waitress I thought she may have given us the wrong bill, she knew right away what the items were. Hmmm? Other than that, have had many enjoyable experiences at Roy's, and we will go back.
Everything about our visit was outstanding. It is great to have such a fine restaurant in Chandler, Az. I forgot how great an experience it is to eat at a five star restaurant. I'll have to do it more often!
The food and service were excellent and we will definitely go back. It's hard to get good seafood in the desert and while eating at Roy's you'd think you were on a Hawaiian Island.
Our server Violet was knowledgable about the food and was attentive but not obnoxious. The short ribs were excellent and we all agreed the chocolate soufflé was the best dessert we've had at a restaurant in a long time!
Restaurant was full on a Saturday evening over Memorial Day weekend. They sat us in a side room which is often not used. Ceilings are lower there and with a full restaurant, the noise level was high. Service was a little slow but not too bad. Food was excellant as usual.
Tried for the first time during Arizona Restaurant Week. Macadamia Crusted Mahi Mahi was so delicious, as was my companion's Salmon. Server was beyond great -- she enhanced our already great experience at Roy's. Their chocolate soufflé is a must for dessert.
Roy's in Chandler. Our waiter was attentive and interacted with us flawlessly. My wife, a friend, and I ordered from the Restaurant week Menu. The 1st course was an Ahi Roll which was tempura battered it was great. The headliner for me personally was the Beef Short Rib. Geezus!! It was a large portion and it was tender and didn't require a knife at all. The flavor was unbelievable with a little sweet, salt, and slight viscous sauce that right at this moment, makes me salivate!! It was also served with Puree Potato and some broccoli. Also very good. My wife had the Mahi. We finished the meal off with cheesecake and a chocolate souffle! Stuffed !! I had to take more than 1/2 of my Short rib home so I could enjoy my dessert. I still talk
My wife and I were celebrating our 33rd anniversary. I put that information in the note with the reservations sent in on OpenTable. I also let them know that I was eating gluten-free. Roy's did a great job - having special recognition in our menus recognizing our anniversary, providing chocolate cake and "happy anniversary" written on the plate, coming and taking a picture of us at our table, and proving the picture in a frame for us before we left. They also provided me with a gluten-free menu and agreed to make a dish that I had selected from the main menu gluten-free. The service was excellent and the food very good. This was a memorable dinner for our anniversary.
We are almost regulars here since we reside in Ahwatukee. It is fortunate that we can enjoy a nice evening out at a top-reated restaurant close to us. There were 4 in the party this time, and we all enjoyed our meals (Surf and Turf, Shellfish sampler and Swordfish). We'll be back for sure.
Roy's offers an outstanding variety of dishes, wonderful service and great ambience for an enchanting evening out. We celebrate birthdays, anniversaries and other occasions at Roy's quite often. Its always top notch.
Wonderful food and drinks! I will definitely return to Roy's in Chandler!
Roy's has been one of our favorite restaurants for several years. We have been fortunate to visit many Roy's restaurants: Chandler, Desert Ridge, Las Vegas, Ohau, Maui, and Kauai. In fact, we had an excellent meal at Roy's Ohau just 10 days ago. So, upon our return home from that vacation we made reservations at Roy's Chandler. Our meal was excellent, service was excellent, AND we look forward to a return soon As always -- THANK YOU!
Sushi was fresh and colorfull, Very quick service......Great prices for happy hour.
Servers were attentive and well-timed with appearance. Butterfish was so good, 3 of us ordered it Waiter recognized us, which was lent itself to friendly vibe. Made us feel welcome. We'll return.
My wife and I have come to your restaurant many times -- it is always wonderful. ENOUGH SAI
Excellent food and services. Nothing goes wrong with Roy's.
I like the food and the service. We come back again!
We had the opportunity recently to dine at Roy's for our 18th anniversary. The staff at Roy's were polite and well versed in the restaurant menu as well as the wine list. The food was outstanding and the atmosphere quiet and relaxing. We did make reservations prior and mention that is was our anniversary. As a special memento, a Happy Anniversary page was placed in our menus which they gave us at the end of the evening. It was a very nice surprise. The attention to detail and that little extra personal touch was greatly appreciated and noticed by my husband and my self. I would definitely recommend Roy's.
This is the first time at THIS Roy's...been to three others and truly enjoyed this restaurant because I didn't also have to by a plane ticket to get to it. Everyone was very attentinve and cordial. the food was excellent...light, presented well, fantastic flavors.
Its been several years since we were at Roy's (the last time we had a bad experience) and decided to give it another try. We had the seafood sampler and it was WONDERFUL and our waitress was one of the best we have ever - very professional, yet ver personable. We will be back!
Food and service was great. Ambience was less than expected. Very high noise level. I found myself yelling at my guest.
Great dinner at Roy's. Macadamia nut Mahi topped off with the chocolate souffle!
The food was wonderful and the wait staff - Violet-was attentive and enthusiastic. Loved it!
What a great culinary nite! The service was magnificent--both the waiter and the server. The food came on the perfect schedule--not too fast or slow. The three courses had wonderful complementary sauces. The wine suggested by our waiter worked well with the three courses. Can't wait to return.
The food was wonderful and the portions were large. Our server Kristen was very friendly and knowledgable about the menu. So happy we chose Roy's for restaurant week. We will definitely return.
We chose this as a destination in our restaurant week adventure. The food was superb--well beyond expectations. The mahi mahi was spectacular as were the short ribs. Service was prompt and friendly.
The presentation of the food was amazing. The pairings of flavors in each dish, from appetizers to desert, were delicious.
We enjoyed a Restaurant Week meal at Roy's for our wedding anniversary. It was romantic and special. Their fish is so fresh and delicious. We wish we could afford more meals at Roy's. Roy's really fusses over their diners. The service is impeccable and discrete. The food is all carefully crafted. We highly recommend Roy's. Try their Happy Hour food and cocktails, if their prices are too steep for you.
Roy's is one of the few restaurants that is consistently good in both service and food. The staff is well versed in the menu items and also very knowledgeable in types of fish and suggested proper preparation. Lobster pot stickers for starters and the lava cake for dessert are always a must along with Original Hawaiian Martini. Roy's is also very accommodating of substitutions, if you don't happen to like a particular sauce on your fish, they have never had a problem of a substitution of another sauce on the menu. Many restaurants really try to avoid any substitutions of preparation or sauces, Roy's has no problem with this.
We were celebrating both our engagement and my fiances birthday. When making the reservation I made a little note about that thinking she would appreciate if they wished her a happy birthday. However, they went all out. As we arrived we were greeted with well wishes. Once we were seated at a great booth we opened our menus only to find a personalized message to us congratulating us! They came and took a photo of us which they presented to us in a cute frame at the end of the night. They also included two complimentary desserts with nice messages of congrats and happy birthday. On top of this the food was OUTSTANDING. We had the short ribs and the meat was so tender, melt in your mouth. Tuna roll and lobster potstickers were great as well!
First let me say Violet is a treasure- ask for her section! The food was really good but I think most people know that. What makes this a great place is how well you're treated from the moment you step in the door. Let them know when you make your reservation if you are celebrating something and they will (quietly and tastefully) acknowledge it. I will also say that it can get a bit noisy; I had some trouble hearing my table-mate when all the tables (and probably bar) were occupied. That said, it is still a worthwhile place to dine!
Another great meal and dining experience at Roy's. Great spot for a quiet and romantic evening. The food is awesome, not the ultimate foodie destination, but awesome nonetheless. The salad with the pork belly is way good. It's like having a little pork candy.
We loved the food and top notch service. We did find the restaurant to be very dimly lit. I'm all for ambiance except when I am unable to clearly read the menu. I would still highly recommend this restaurant.
We've been to Roy's other locations , while in Chandler, went for a special anniversary dinner. We've never been disappointed, great food (seafood done to perfection), excellent customer service from hostess, bus people, to server, all of them extending themselves to take care of even the little things. Chef Patrick's menu makes it hard to choose from but it means returning to try the other offerings. Chose the appetizer platter for two which meant we were able to sample five appetizers and then shared each other's entrees, the seafood sampler and the butterfish. Americanos accompanied the pineapple & chocolate desserts. All yummy. Roy's has always delivered us a memorable dining experience & we will return to a Roy's where ever we travel.
Roy's served outstanding food with a wonderful fusion of flavors and textures. The menu was diverse and offered a wide range of options. The peach sorbet is not to be missed! The service was excellent and the atmosphere quiet enough you could carry on a conversation without talking loudly.
The team here made our celebration special and service was great. The food was very good but the dessert was fabulous. Even the kids had a good time and enjoyed our dinner. We will definitely come back soon.
Went on a date, waitress was really nice, attentive but gave us or space. Food was above decent, maybe a high 6. But I've got really high standards.
Food was very good. Service outstanding. Would go back
Roy's is a fabulous place for business dinners. My team enjoyed the ambience, the food is fantastic, and the service excellent!
The complimentary seasoned edamame had just the right heat .The Salt and Pepper Calamari was cooked to perfection, nice, tender and flavorful. The chili sauce gave it some nice heat. The entrees were prepared perfectly and presented in an appealing way. The wait staff was very informative and attentive.
Food was excellent as usual. Didn't plan on spending as much as we did but it was worth the money!
Roy's always has fabulous, fresh seafood. We tried the prix fixe menu this time which was. A delicious combination of fish and short ribs. Hope to be back soon!
My wife and I went to Roy's for our 56th Wedding Anniversary and would recommend it for a like celebration. I would describe the fare as Asian Fusion with the emphasis on fish. I had the four fish special and enjoyed everything, especially the Butterfish. The portions were small as were the sides. My wife had the Mahi mahi in macadamia nuts but was disappointed with the "fishy" taste and the thick cut made it somewhat dry in the middle. We shared their signature chocolate soufflé and loved it. The wine was great as well. This is a fine restaurant with good food and acceptable surroundings........but it isn't Kauai, where we have eaten at their facility and the prices are comparable. We felt the bill was somewhat out of line.
We frequent Roy's for special occasions (anniversary, birthday). We find Roy's an excellent choice. Food is always prepared fresh and entrees arrive to the table hot. Presentation very nice. They have a good variety of wines although most vintners are not familiar to us (and we are very into wines!). There are a nice variety of desserts, also. All staff are extremely friendly and know the menu well. We have only been to Roy's for dinners, so we do not know if there is a separate menu for lunch. $$$ - a bit high in dinner prices for food and wine, but well worth the trip. Two persons including wine, by the glass, and less tip and dessert always comes out to around $125. We usually take out of town guest here for dinner.

Lake Lavon has been pumping out some great big slab Crappie this year.
You can expect to land at least 5-10 fish at 14-15 inches on an outing! Limits are being yanked out everyday by a lot of people. The fish are very predictable right now. If I had to give you a magic depth, I would have to say 18 foot depths. If you can find some structure in that depth, brush, rock piles or tress, I can almost promise a crappie will be waiting to suck your jig in as soon as you send it down.
Even with the East wind we have been having, the fishing has been fantastic. I am hosting a Crappie Tourney out on Lavon Saturday June 9th, so I am excited to see all the monsters that will be weighed in. Black and chart jigs in 1/16 oz are the ticket right now, or Carolina rig a minnow with no more than 6 inch leader. If you don't get a bite within 2-5 mins, move to a new spot. I'm in 14-22 ft of water all day long. Standing timber in the West arm is pumping out fish right now too.
Above- Standing Timber Fish
The fish there have no pattern and are all over the water column. Id say 14-20 ft is where they are at in the timber.
In the picture above, you can see the submerged timber. The ball inbeween the timber is all crappie.
In the above pic, is the same as the one above this one. But on the 2D sonar (The orange and red, is the same ball of crappie. I turned down my sensitivity so I mainly only see fish. The Down Imaging is turned way up to see the structure.)
In the above picture, all the orange is fish. All crappie. All holding tight to the trees. So right here showes you if your 1-2 ft away from the structure, you wont get bit!
If you get on the structure, you might take home fish for the frier!

X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.730) Hello, I cannot believe the things I am reading. I understand that Apple Engineers are first Apple employees, but trying to spin this as "everything will be OK" is crap. The Intel architecture is simply inferior. I read a posting that pointed out Steve Jobs never said that Intel was superior to the PowerPC/G5 but rather Intel can can deliver the power and speed Apple demands. In what universe has Intel EVER delivered on such promises? Perhaps an orthogonal universe where dual-core doesn't necessarily mean on the same die and low-power means 100+ Watts. Intel bet the farm on hyper-threading (which is a complete joke) while IBM and AMD took the hyper-transport path. I recall (with a certain fondness, I might add) Dell crying over the Spec2000 benchmarks because "they looked at the makefile and hyper- threading was disabled." Anyone remember the response? Hyper- threading was disabled because the Dell machine ran SLOWER with it enabled! Steve made it clear that it's not all about speed. Perhaps this isn't about speed to Steve, but to those of us interested in high performance computing, it is about speed. The G5 cluster with the velocity engine was an excellent solution - you cannot say the same about Intel clusters. The Intel L1 cache sizes are pathetic as are the L2 sizes unless one can bring to bear the resources of the seven richest kings of Europe...and I for one don't want a Frinkiac-7. If x86 is the path Apple must go, why not AMD? Kazushige Goto and the FLAME project at UT-Austin have produced libraries that SMOKE the Intel Math Kernel. By the way, wasn't Intel the company that didn't seem to understand IEEE-754 standards from the very first floating- point challenged Pentium? Good thing I spent all that time mastering AltiVec...I can now swap stories with all those x86 Assembly programmers at the Orphaned Code Expo.

On the 14th October 30 children and adults from Ashton Keynes Church of England Primary School made the long coach trip to London as part of their prize for winning the Diocese of Bristol banner competition.
St Mary Redcliffe and Temple School have launched a new website which includes a compelling summary and presentation about the role of faith and worship in their school life.
If you would like to create a similar video slideshow for your website or presentation to an audience, there are free and low cost tools for this at animoto.com
The Scrapstore 'Playpod' has revolutionised play at Pucklechurch Primary School. It essentially allows them to use manufacturing offcuts such as tubes, nets and hoops in their creative play. Children, parents and staff have been trained in adopting a more creative attitude towards play. Where previously children could choose from traditional lunchtime games, they now have the opportunity to dress up, engage in fantasy games and use the Play pod equipment however they please.
St. John's Church of England VC School in Clifton held their summer fair this month - here is what happened...
We love our trips to All Saints Church, which is located almost at the end of our lane. Each Easter we celebrate with residents from the village and parents, with children in the church. However this year we arrived in style!
Each year group in school made either musical instruments, palm leaves or flags to wave and play as we walked to church.
We asked parents to line the lane and route to church and cheer and wave us on – just like Jesus all those years ago.
We were so surprised when parents tore leaves and branches down from the hedgerows, and waved and cheered us on. "It's just like in the Bible story," one 5 year old exclaimed, obviously loving all the merriment!
We are extremely proud to announce that St. Chad's Patchway C. of E. Primary School in South Gloucestershire has been named as Wales and West Regional Winner of the Church School Awards 2011!
"This award is partly the result of our school's commitment to Community Cohesion and Global Citizenship, as well as our commitment to promoting Christian values throughout our community," said a school representative.
St. Chad's has demonstrated the whole of the school community is aware of the vital role they play in nurturing the local and wider community. The Staff and Governors have developed a clearly defined school vision: 'To be a happy learning community based on Christian values which enables all children to reach their full potential.'
Our film about the faith work of Sisters of the Church
made by local children is now online - ideal for Harvest preparation

Hydra Floor Lamp with Tan Drum Shade
Ok lamp; not very well constructed
I love the look of this lamp, but it's not very well constructed. The shade is fine, but the spring that allows the flexibility of position is really poor. It's hard to keep it at an in between angle. The weight of the upper section pulls down the entire arm. Also, the finish was chipped. It was not in a spot that is visible (behind sofa), so we kept it, but the finish definitely isn't top notch.
October 3, 2010
One of the two lamps was stripped prior to even assembling and was unable to be assembled correctly, the second one was assembled but is not very sturdy and won't stand up straight. Not what I envisioned for over $150
July 19, 2010
Classy and Functional
Good Looking and Versatile! This Lamp is Modern and Warm at the same time, with the Oil Rubbed Bronze finish. It's Classic Shade and interesting Style make it a Focal Point in itself in the room. The Mechanics (movement) let it rest high over an end table or low over your chair while reading or sewing. Fabulous Find.
