Online Reservations
We always have a fantastic experience at Zengo. The food is creative, exciting, and always delicious. Service is consistently good and has kept us coming back year after year. Zengo is a wonderful restaurant in a great urban neighborhood setting.
Have been there several times now, and it is always good. I am usually hosting groups when I go there, and they are always delighted. This most recent visit was a return visit for a group that I had brought there a few years ago...and the return visit was at their request!
Zengo is a great spot to take your significant other on a romantic date night. The ambience and allure were magical. Great food, great service, great night!!!
I was happy to discover this restaurant after being stranded in Denver due to flight delays. It was the perfect spot to stop on our way from the Airport to Wheatridge! Delicious food creations, great service & loved the decor & location! We will be back. I have already been sharing it with other friends who travel to Denver ofter. Thanks.
Our server was great and didn't lead us astray on recommendations. Though everything we tried was very good, I wish we would've had four plates of the miso cod - yes it's that crazy.
Zengo continues to impress. It's been 6 months since we were last there, and to food was amazing. The Latin/Asian fusion is a great combo. In particular, the stir fried noodles with pork carnitas and chiplotle chilies was a standout. The Latin take in sashimi was intriguing as well Highly recommended
This is my fourth there and I tend to just get appetizers and share with my family/friends because the main dishes are pretty pricey. Plus, I like to try different things. All four times I have been there, my favorite appetizer is definitely the chicken empanadas. So delicious! We also order two test kitchen appetizers, they were good but not great. I got the passion fruit lychee mojito and that was really good. We also got the arepas, pretty solid but nothing compares to the empanadas. Overall, great experience and service was great too
I took a chance and made reservations for my friends and me based on the on-line menu. We are not fussy eaters but wasn't sure if menu options were too adventurous for us. Well it was a well deserved adventure. With our server's help, we tried a variety of small plates that were just wonderful. We even had room to try their desserts which were equally delightful. Highly recommend Zengo for anyone wanting great food that not the traditional American, Italian & steak house choices that most people fall back on.
A fun menu that allows sharing of unique tapas style plates or entrees. Wonderful flavors captured in each dish with creative presentations. Top notch manager & staff. We will be back (again)!
Food was delicious. Interesting options on menu. Great service until we got our bill then they seemed ready to turn our table. Stopped filling our water glasses even after request.
A good option for a date night, but probably won't return regularly since it is pricey.
Zengo was expensive, and there was no wifi available to recall Living Social coupon.
I just love the creative food they have. The Mango Haberno martini is always a good start and the food was amazing. New kitchen recipes were fantastic.
We had a wonderful time! Our waiter was very attentive, the whole staff was super nice and the food was fabulous. Great place to appetizer through dinner! The Black Cod entree was the best fish I have ever had! It was a great place to go before a concert at the Pepsi Center.
Great new dishes every time we go in addition to the beloved standards - love the test kitchen menu items.
The featured cuisines in this Latin-Asian restaurant that week were Peruvian, and Malaysian. I am not a huge fan of Malaysian in general, so we stuck to the main menu items and some Peruvian. The miso soup was very interesting - the addition of tomatoes, truffle oil, and a bit of a spicy kick were welcome. If you expect regular miso soup, don't order this, but it was a satisfying take on the usual. The Chinese braised short ribs were excellent. The only disappointment was the black cod (the reason for the trip to Zengo). I love black cod, and have had great versions everywhere, but this one had a totally unnecessary, heavy, mayonnaise-y sauce on top that detracted from the excellent flavour and texture of the cod.
One of my favorite Denver restaurants so I go here frequently. It is a little pricey but the food is well worth it. The melding of Latin and Asian flavors in the dishes is unique and very good. If you are in the area you have to try this restaurant. Even if you aren't in the area its worth a special trip to dine here!
Already planning our next meal there. So so so good. Great flavors and presentation. And very impressed by the servers' knowledge of the dishes. Love!
We had a party of six at Zengo mid-week. Everything was really great from the greet at the door (hung our coats with a smile), to a cozy table in a beautifully decorated "hip" warm restaurant, to really fabulous food. We are were equally thrilled with all of our choices, the black cod was truly amazing (three of us ordered). Appetizers were plentiful and delicious as well as a good wine and cocktail selection. Will definitely be back next time we are in Denver.
Enjoyed the combinations of unique and unusal flavors and textures! High energy level at the restuarant. Will go there again.
This was a return visit to introduce friends to Zengo. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food choices - salmon, pork with rice noodles, and incredible melon salad. As a vegetarian, I appreciate their vegetarian menu but love the melon salad so much, that's all I've tried. We have never had a bad meal here! Can't say much about the bar scene, but there are always people there. Highly recommend giving this restaurant a try.
The food was great. The infusion of Asian and Spanish worked very well together.
We've been to Zengo many times and it never disappoints. Love the small plates which have all been good, we usually get 5 between the two of us! Plus it's nice to have a larger plate available, such as the black cod which is to die for, plain and simple. We had amazing service by a "natural" waitperson, she was just so pleasant, natural and never interrupted, was on always spot on. I would recommend this to anyone, whether you want a lot of food, or just a snack, very classy place.
This was our second time dining at Zengo. The food is Asian-Latin fusion and is incredible. It's pricy, but the quality of the food and the presentation are worth it. We haven't yet tried the black cod, which is apparently its signature dish, but we've had the Thai chicken empanadas both times (we can never get enough of those) along with a number of other appetizers. We generally order 6-8 different appetizers to share, and one entree. The entree we had on this last occasion was the Wagyu beef, which is cooked at the table on a hot stone and is so tender it melts in your mouth. The service was exceptional - very attentive but never intrusive. All in all, Zengo is one of our top 2 restaurants in Denver (the other favorite is Root Down).
Great food but portions seemed to have gotten smaller. Husbands left hungry so for the price, will likely reserve next visit for girls only.
We almost always get small plates for lots of variety, but the other night we tried 2 of the fish entrees, the Black Cod with Miso and the Skate and both were better than expected.
We dine at many restaurants and appreciate variety, but Zengo makes the very short list as a repeat favorite. Everything about this establishment is top notch. It contends as the best restaurant in Denver. And the black cod is to die for...
Zengo is definitely one of Denver's best restaurants!
Went there last night with my wife. The plates are small so we could share. It was good for keeping us interacting.
I really like the food here as it's so eclectic. I sat at the bar to speed things up this time. My bar server Kailani is awesome!! She was very prompt and pleasant to chat with, even for the short time we had. I had edamame, a happy hour sushi roll and the pork noodle entree. They were all excellent. Unfortunately I didn't have much time to even eat so I enjoyed it all to go. I wished I'd have been able to eat it fresh as the microwave doesn't do it justice.
This is the 2nd time in one week at Zengos! It is the best!
My friend and I went here for dinner before a concert at the Pepsi Center. The food was fantastic! I've only eaten here twice before so I tried something different this time around. I couldn't have been more satisfied. The service to get my drink was a little slow but other than that, I can't say anything negative. Definitely worth the trip.
We tried the bottomless menu of food, where there were 20+ 'small plate's of very innovative dishes with an Asian influence and Mexican influence. Everything was really good. And the bottomless mimosas, with choices of orange, passion, guava and mango juices were great. Bloody Mary and Bloody Maria (tequila) were also an option. This is not your normal brunch, so no omelette station, or any traditional dishes. But with the range of new things to try I much prefer Zengo!
We shared the Tasting of 2 Ceviches (served with homemade nachos), the Tasting of 2 Tiraditos (I prefered the Tuna), the Chipotle Miso glazed black cod, the fried rice, and the pumpkin empanadas for dessert. We're Asians, so the fried rice was good - but not special. Everything else was very good. The cod was flaky and moist, and the accompanying sauce was very tasty. We used the complementary valet parking, since street parking was tight. Earned no dining points. I guess because there are a lot of regulars here? My friend got a free mojito for checking into Foursquare. I live/work in the suburbs, so I'll only go here if future visitors are interested. Within/adjacent to the restaurant is La Biblioteca resturant. I hope to try it too.
If you're tired of the same old dining experience, Zengo offers very interesting and tasty food that will keep you talking. We had about eight dishes there the other evening and loved each one. Will be going back.
It was just the right noise level on a Tuesday night to really enjoy good conversation over great food!
The food and drinks were fantastic! I was with a group so we did about 5 different appetizers and they where all fantastic! The only thing I wasn't thrilled about was our waitress...although she gave a great food options, she seemed a little stand-offish but overall it was a fantastic meal!
Five of us went prior to a Bronco game. Very different presentation, basically Tapas all you can eat and with small portions, you try everything on the menu. Very diverse kinds of food, those looking for bacon eggs and potatoes have come to the wrong house. It was very good and interesting to try 8-10 different dishes. They have several kinds of Mimosas and some tequila drinks that are part of the brunch if you opt for the drink portion too. Very fun time.
The food was out of this world and the service was exactly the same. One of my best restaurant experiences
Loved the asparagus tacos, shrimp wrap, eel roll, angry zengo, and the salad; each one has just the right 'chili' to complement the tequila.
I loved this restaurant. Would have given 5 stars for service except there was one nice but clumsy waitress out of 5 very professional wait staff.
Girls night out. Going to the Michael Buble'. The service was outstanding. Worked with us on time. Made great menu suggestions for our table. Great experience.
Good play on Latin and Asian foods. Everything was tasty well presented. We wanted to try a lot more, but could only fit so much in our bellies. Will be back for sure.
Zengo never disappoints. The service is always outstanding. The servers explain the menu well, give recommendations, and attend to you frequently. The food is excellent and the ambience is chic. This is a very unique restaurant that I'd recommend to anyone.
We started out with specialty drinks at the bar next door that were recommended by the manager, Jason and they were delicious. On to delicious appetizers; the vegetable rolls and the beef tacos should not be missed! We shared plates for dinner at Zengo and they didn't disappoint. Will most certainly visit Zengo again; for both a fun girls night out, date night or for a special occasion.
I'll be here every Sunday! Great food and a great experience!
We never tire of Zengo's...there's always something new & exciting on the menu so it was the perfect place for our office party. Our waiter assisted with making the party a success. The stone Waygu beef was a huge hit as was the seared tuna dish. He made terrific suggestions & ordered enough so that our group was able to sample each of the items provided. The drinks were great & the wine recommendations were very complimentary to the meal. The restaurant was busy but not so much that we couldn't enjoy conversing with everyone at the table. The evening was a great success!
I've always enjoyed Zengo and this visit was no exception. Food, drink, atmosphere and service were outstanding. But prices have gone through the roof and I could swear that portion sizes have gotten smaller.
Went for my second time to Zengo, first time for brunch this past weekend. $35 bottomless brunch... Never heard of a better deal in town! Especially with all the great food and drink choices. Helluva bargain. The group I was with tried just about every dish on the brunch/lunch menu, and didn't have one plate with food on it by the end. Everything was delicious!!
As recent transplants to Denver from Washington, DC, we were excited to learn that one of our favorite DC restaurants was also out here in Colorado. Zengo Denver not only lived up to it's East Coast counterpart, but actually exceeded it as far as setting and ambiance are concerned. From the poached skate wing to the roasted brussel sprouts with bacon to the excellent premium cocktails, the menu was innovative, fresh, and delicious. While Denver's food scene is still in its early stages, Zengo is a gem in Denver, and hopefully just one of many to come. We can't wait to check out the rest of the Richard Sandoval restaurants in the city.

There's way more non-Metal than Metal, though. To write off RBN as "the place assy metal goes to die" (and don't get me wrong, it does happen) and nothing else is so ridiculously shortsighted.
There's way more non-Metal than Metal, though. To write off RBN as "the place assy metal goes to die" (and don't get me wrong, it does happen) and nothing else is so ridiculously shortsighted.
I've been pretty happy with the metal on the RBN side, and some other music as well. There have been a few bands that I had not heard before that I really like now, such as Ghost Brigade. And one search led to another kind of thing, that got me into Nightwish. RBN also pointed me to the Guitar Idol contest, which I haven't missed since. I think it's a pretty good source.
There is a strong skewing toward metal in RBN over most other genres. Sure, if you add up every other genre, it outnumbers, but metal is by far higher represented. And as for mainstream bands/songs, there have been very few. Mainstream is what I care about. Songs that are from unknown bands never get played at parties, thus I don't need them filling my hard drive. With over 1600 songs in my collection, I don't want to add songs that don't get play.
As for why I don't like metal--as a vocalist, I absolutely hate growls, as well as shrill pitches ala Rob Halford, Dio, Or Axl Rose. Metal tends to have a lot of one or the other. Don't get me wrong, I like some metal songs, but as a genre, those are few. My tastes are pretty eclectic--from Air Supply to Korn. I like blues. I even like some country, though I would deny that to my wife. But mostly, the reason I avoid RBN is because most of the songs are unknown to me and my crowd.
So it has to be popular to be good. A disappointingly common mindset.
Well, your loss.
Heck yeah, I haven't heard that Andrew W.K. song in years. It's kinda sad that I heard it on an ancient GameBoy Madden game.
I couldn't care less about Hot Chelle.

Astrograph Telescopes
For serious astrophotographers, an optical tube that has quality optics and suitable specifications is key to producing successful images. Astrographs come in many different specifications and designs, so each model can be oriented or preferred for a different type of imaging (eg. solar, terrestrial, deep sky etc). Some common designs include the Ritchey-Chrétien, Riccardi Honders, and Catadioptric optical tubes. Choosing an astrograph depends on how the astro-imager wants to observe, what focal length and focal ratio it has, aperture, optical coatings, and how suitable it is for the camera they intend to use.
A key specification very important to consider when choosing an astrograph is focal ratio in relation to aperture. This is an important to remember because focal ratio determines what the magnification and field of view the observor will get. Therefore, if the observor intends to mainly view deep sky objects with lower surface brightnesses, a shorter focal length will reduce magnification and increase field of view since most deep sky objects tend to appear very large but not bright. Astrograph telescopes with slower focal ratios such as an f/12 will provide higher magnification and smaller field of views; better for planetary observing.

If you're like most women, you probably know whether you're shaped like an apple (big waist, small hips, thin legs) or a pear (small waist, big hips and thighs). And you probably have heard that it's better healthwise to be a pear. Having too much fat on your belly increases your risk of age-related diseases like heart disease and diabetes. In fact, a study published yesterday in the journal Circulation: Heart Failure indicates that having a large waist size ups your risk of heart failure, a condition that's often fatal. A second study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that exercise doesn't harm those with heart failure and could actually provide some benefits.
The analysis of the belly fat research, based on data from two Swedish population studies, showed that being overweight or obese increased the risk of heart failure in men but didn't in women—unless they had a large waist size. A woman with a normal body mass index of 25 whose waist size increased by 4 inches over the years wound up with a 15 percent greater risk of heart failure than those whose waist sizes remained the same. (A 5-foot, 4-inch woman who weighs 146 pounds has a BMI of 25.) Medical experts recommend that women maintain a waist size of less than 35 inches to reduce their risk of chronic diseases.
[Here's how to measure your waist size.]
Where you carry your fat is largely determined by your genes. (I can thank my mother for my ample butt and thighs.) But there are certain things you can do to help redistribute fat away from your belly.
[Read more on why excess belly fat is so dangerous.]
Try the following:
1. Exercise. You can't exercise to spot reduce, but getting active on most days of the week can help you shed excess pounds. And often the fat our body sheds first comes from our belly: nature's way of getting rid of what's bad for us. Abdominal crunches can help tone muscles to make your stomach look flatter, but to truly get rid of fat, you have to burn it off through aerobic activity like running, walking, or biking.
2. Be a mindful eater. Researchers are currently investigating whether teaching women to really pay attention to what they eat can help redistribute body fat from the waist to the hips. Other studies, though, have shown that mindful eating can help with weight loss efforts.
[Here's how mindful eating could help you lose weight.]
3. Get adequate amounts of sleep. Too little sleep (less than six hours) or too much (more than eight hours) results in an excess production of the stress hormone cortisol. This hormone promotes the storage of fat in the belly. A possible reason: Your body, knowing it's in a state of stress, shuttles fat off to a storage place where it can be easily burned off for fuel in an emergency. Fat on the hips and thighs isn't released from cells as quickly, which is why we often refer to it as "stubborn fat."
[Here are 10 ways to get better sleep and maybe cure insomnia.]
4. Reduce stress. Penciling in 15 minutes a day for relaxation can lower your cortisol levels, helping you shed belly fat. Deep breathing, a stroll outdoors under the blossoming trees, or a bubble bath can help you leave the world behind.

Spurred by the breathtaking success of social networking products like Facebook and Twitter, companies are integrating "Social" into almost every business process. The theory is that products that worked so well for consumers will be as transformative for business. You'll find Twitter for the Enterprise, Facebook for teams, and a host of business-focused social networking products.
At Sparked, we think that these products have just scratched the surface. What works for consumers may also work for businesses, but the possibility space is more expansive. "Social" for business can unleash the power of passionate people to participate in the success and growth of the organizations they love. Rather than centering interactions around "chatter," we think that Social Business solutions will shine when they're geared around... results. Whether it's empowering customers to evangelize the brand or employees to provide critical expertise to charitable organizations, the Social Businesses of tomorrow will succeed because they deliver quantifiable results to stakeholders.
"Companies are transforming their business processes, building stronger relationships among their employees, customers and business partners and making better decisions, faster. This is what makes a social business — embracing networks of people to create new business value and opportunities."
- IBM, Social Business ReviewOur products have been featured in almost every major media publication including these:

All Berkeley comes together, celebrates hope on MLK Day
It felt like all of Berkeley was represented at yesterday morning's Martin Luther King breakfast celebration down by the bay.
They came from seminaries and temples, political groups, law enforcement, schools, neighborhood associations and government departments — our assemblywoman, mayor, and chief of police were there, as were many church and community leaders, councilmembers, teachers, students, business men and women, and children. (Watch the slideshow of photographs, above, by Nancy Rubin.)
On a crisp winter morning, nearly 400 local people gathered to mark Martin Luther King Day, to share breakfast and to watch together live-streaming of the inauguration of the 44th President of the United States. … Continue reading »


text: "As reconstructed with the help of Nick Phillips, this LP consists of recordings Jeph sent the pair, Ones (Mitha & Phillips), in 2004 which may or may not include some of their work with him in the 90s. They then added in bits of their own, mixed things together. This was issued by White Tapes in 2005 on disc but the LP version was remastered by Scott Colburn. Got it? Who cares, it's an amazing recording, just gorgeous all the way through, the Ones duos presumably responsible for the bulk of the non-Jerman sounding (that is, more tonal) portions, though I wouldn't bet much on it. Very nice mesh, the displaced guitar sounds alongside the rustling noise, lovely episodic, cinematic feel to each side. When the acoustic guitar emerges full-on, almost Robbie Basho style, toward the end of one piece, it's pretty magical. The other swells into an enormous drone of cymbals and ringing bowed metal. Both are pretty great. Have turntable, get this vinyl."-Brian Olewnick, Just Outside

Are there many options for online bingo in the UK? Since we post from the USA, we don't typically look overseas for online bingo and other online gambling venues. Especially not from a smartphone. However, there are a ton of readers from England, so we have to try to include some info for them as well, since we've posted about stuff here before. One of the online options to play bingo on iPhone and Android is the website paddypower.com.
There are other sites as well – such as whichbingo, foxybingo, bingopower, meccabingo and bingoport. There are a ton of options to consider. Online bingo has become much more popular in the last couple of years. Although I originally thought that online gambling provided a lot of security concerns, it looks like most of this is protected by secure, encrypted sites, similar to when you log into your bank or your credit card account.
There are other options if you don't want to spend any real money. Games.com has a lot of free online gambling games like bingo, blackjack, poker, texas hold em and others. Bingo Zone has free prizes for online bingo as well.
In terms of mobile, Android has a few options like Bingo Heaven, but none are for pay. It isn't supported on Google Play unfortunately most likely due to revenue issues.
If you are in the UK and interested in checking out bingo on your mobile, check out paddypower.com

Ubuntu 9.10, codenamed Karmic Koala, has been officially released. This version introduces Canonical's new Ubuntu One synchronization service and a number of other compelling improvements.
Read the whole story
Sadly Kubuntu still feel like a second class citizen. I'll be givin a try to the latest OpenSuse real soon to see how their KDE desktop is. I've read much praise about it. I still had bad reminding about RPM but supposedly they improved a bit.
Probably not the best place to ask... but I had two general ubuntu upgrade questions. First, How much of what the revision update provides is already covered by the iterative package management updates I've been doing for over a year? Second, I've stuck to the "netbook remix" distro for my 1000HA eeePC in the past - how far behind are such builds now? And are they still needed for my hardware? (I'm running the netbook remix 8.04 distro on the netbook currently if that makes any difference - I'm not too quick to upgrade because of the hassle in doing so without an optical drive).
sad but true Kubuntu is just a kde variant of ubuntu and misses out on many of the goodies in karmic like xsplash,software center, ubuntu one to mention a few |
I have to ask as a Windows user. Why is the need for "faster bootup"? I keep hearing about them bragging about the 10 second bootup and things of that sort. Are people really in that much of a hurry to get their system turned on that they're getting pissed off at "OMG it's taking 15 seconds to boot my computer up! This is crap!"? Just doesn't make much sense to me, but maybe because I usually boot up my system when I get home, change out of my work clothes, and hop on. Even so, Windows 7 does boot up in about 15 seconds for me, so we're close damnit!
Edit: Hope I don't sound like a fanboy or whatnot, just curiosity is all. |
There are people out there (myself included) who cares about things like : - Doesn't want to waste energy - Doesn't want to hear constant fan noise - ... This doesn't mean I'm not using my computer heavily (that's the first thing I do when I wake up)...but the things can stay off when I'm sleeping, not home, or doing something else. Since I have 2 very old computers, boot time is indeed a real problem. Linux used to be much slower to boot than Windows, but it's no longer the case, and I'm grateful for that. |
Will we be getting the full ars-style review soon?
Boot-up time is important to me, since my work laptop switched between docked at work on the network cable and home on the wifi/VPN. Going to suspend was no good because the network drives, etc. go wacky and I have to reboot anyway (thank you xp pro!). Now, I can't use Linux, but boot-up times CAN be important.
For my home machines, couldn't care less. I just have them hibernate and they start up quickly enough (xp home and vista hp). XP is annoying me to the point of moving to ubuntu on my laptop. Since it's really just for websurfing, I find myself playing PC games less and less. And now I have the work laptop for my windows-only sas stuff. Having bored you with all this, these aren't really headline features for an OS. Android is going to supplant Ubuntu pretty quickly, I imagine. |
It depends on what you mean by "iterative package management". Does it mean "i only update my softwares when the package manager prompts me" ? Do you install manually all the new versions of yours softwares ? Do you update your repositories to point to the latest one ? Each Ubuntu version typically ships with some specific version of each application. If you don't manually request the new version (and sometimes you have to change your depositories for that), you will get stuck with only security updates. Moreover, you won't have all the tweaks and UI upgrades made between each version. For example, I remember in version 7 and earlier, you had to manually configure Samba to share files with a Windows PC... Since one of the 8.x release (i don't remember which) it works out of the box. That was only one example among others...Many small annoyances are ironed out with each new version.
Netbook Remix releases are released at the same time as the others, so having a "normal" 9.10 or a NR 9.10 is exactly the same thing software-wise, except for the NR UI (which I think is far more suited to netbook than the standard one). I'm not sure about the hardware though. However I don't understand why you would need an optical drive to update ? You do know you don't need to install a new ISO ? Provided you are connected to the Internet, everything can be done through the update manager, and a single reboot. |
Why do we need faster computers at all? A slide rule oughta be good enough for anyone (nevermind 640kb of memory) Really it matters more on portables; a long boot wastes battery power. And sometimes I just wanna turn on my Macbook quickly to check the weather before deciding whether to catch the bus or walk. Also matters for servers, because if it goes down you obviously want it running again ASAP. Or if a power outage kicks you out of a multiplayer online game. Your team is waiting
++ |
I think the point of faster boot up is sort of the same goal that Google OS is shooting for ... to get better adoption on laptops/netbooks (which MS is wavering on since they're still very focused on desktop comps). If folks could boot their comp in 10 seconds, then they wouldn't be so worried about sleep/hibernate, which still has some issues in Linux (and, yes, even Win7), due to crazy hardware vendors still screwing around.
I love Ubuntu, but I see it getting stuck between a rock & a hard-place here very quickly since it's being "jack of all trades, master of none". Win7 is going to rule the desktop scene pretty soon, since MS is still very desktop-centric. Google OS or Android may end up being heavy hitter on netbooks. Ubuntu is splitting its resources working on desktop and netbook versions. Since they have more limited resources than MS & Google, they need to pick a platform and home in on it. Desktops have not proven to be a good (profitable) platform to target. So, they should re-direct to netbooks. While Google OS is focusing on minimal desktop/OS and all the action taking place in web/cloud-computing, Ubuntu can focus on being a real OS on a netbook that's still powerful enough to function like a desktop OS ... just more portable and more accommodating to power & portability. It'll be interesting trying out Karmic. The past couple of releases have always had "two steps forward, one step back" syndrome. I remember the last distro where Pulse Audio got confused if you had 2+ sound cards ... STILL, which was supposed to be fixed. But ultimately I had to remove my creative card and use the built-in mobo sound to resolve it. I like where they're going, it just seems like they're throwing spaghetti at the wall trying to see what will stick sometimes. And sometimes it's hard to tell what (if any) improvements have been made. Still, all that said ... it's FREE. I don't mind having some bugs, since I know I'm getting it for free, they take user feedback seriously, and they're not just spending half their time trying to find ways to cripple the OS so they can entice folks to get a "premium" version. *cough* MS *cough* |
I had no idea actually... Will look into. |
Thanks for the explanations guys. I understand the standby fan on a desktop is annoying (big ditto on that one), and the note/netbook makes sense as well.
According to Anandtech's tests, that's still the case. Of course, those were run with Ubuntu 9.04, not 9.10. |
I just did a clean install with 9.10 64 bit, install went fine no problems.
Kind of hard to do anything when your mouse and keyboard don't work when it boots up though. But hey, at least it boots up fast, thats whats important, right? 8.10 and 9.04 didn't do this. 9.10 beta did the same thing. |
This is one of those situtations where results can vary wildly with hardware. My netbook boots really fricken fast. However, even between normal desktops boot time can vary quite a bit. I am rather skeptical of any claim about windows boot speed being better, though. I could see a lean windows machine MAYBE making it to the desktop a bit faster, but 9/10 windows machines seem to take FOREVER to respond after dropping you to the desktop. Users than invariably click on stuff 20 times and finally give up and site there and about 2 minutes later 50 windows will open. Likewise, why does boot time matter? Well, most linux users HATE rebooting. We are used to being able to have our PCs running 24x7, if not 24x7x365. Not to mention if I take a laptop to class for taking notes or something, it's really nice if it boots in 2 seconds as opposed to 2 minutes. So fast bootup is definitely something I appreciate, particularly for netbooks/laptops. |
Because whether or not sleep/hibernate mode actually works on Ubuntu is an utter crapshoot. WOrse yet, sleep used to work on my desktop in 8.10 and stopped in 9.04. Haven't checked 9.10 yet. Works perfectly well on a dell workstation running 9.04 though. As i said, crapshoot. Fuck the boot times, try and get driver fixes in for sleep mode. |
anita man, the sleep thing might be determined by different hardware differenly. my workstation suspends just fine, but my netbook (acer aspire one) won't suspend to save its life. A lot of variables go into things like that. I know the 2.6.30 and higher kernel's suspend better than the pre-2.6.30 kernel.
(i use arch, though, not ubuntu). Glad to see Ubuntu is sticking to their 6 month schedule. Now waiting on a full review then Fedora 12! |
So, when you saw this bug in the beta, did you report it somewhere? Did you tell anyone something was broken? Or did you just say to yourself "this sucks" and leave it? It can't get better if no one who's fixing things knows what's wrong. Phil |
Awesome, glad to see Ubuntu is getting better and better. As a Windows user, IMO Ubuntu is the only Linux that matters, cause theyre main goal is to make it useable, and not just a "make your own operating system" for geeks, like all the other distros.
I have 8.10 installed using WUBI for whenever I feel like using linux, definitely going to check 9.10 out. |
I can't help you understand this, but I can explain how to find out for yourself. 1) Get a resonably-old Desktop (not laptop). 2) Install Windows XP or pre-SP1 Vista. 3) Try to use the Windows "hibernate" function. 4) [optional] Cry. 5) Shut down and boot up your Desktop every time you want to check email. 6) Reach an understanding about why bootup times are so important for so many. |
don´t get it. have used windows xp for the past 6 years, on countless notebooks. standby and hibernation always worked like a charm. |
I posted in the ubuntu forums. I've never done a bug report before, guess I'll look into doing that. |
Step B: re-READ the post you're replying to. Step 1 specifically said: DESKTOP, not LAPTOP. Then you say "Hey, Laptops work fine". Then again, maybe I should look at your username? Yes, all my laptops work fine. Not so my HTPC w/ XP Pro SP3. Trying to hibernate causes it to lose its network drives, and after that, you need to reboot anyway.. So, it stays on all the time. For power savings AND heat, I would LOVE to have it be able to hibernate. Great_Scott - you say Vista fixes this? I may have to try to get a copy of Vista or Win7 onto my HTPC.. |
so will this "faster boot" mean it boots off the live disk faster too? that is pretty much the only way i use Ubuntu. I don't expect 10 seconds but less that 5 minutes would be nice.
My Macbook Pro goes for days with the lid closed and is nearly instantly usable when I open it*. I don't think I've turned my laptop off in 18 months. * This only seems to work with OS X - Windows doesn't handle this as well. |
Is it plugged in the whole time? In other words, is it in sleep mode or hibernate mode? I know the Mac automatically switches between the two, but which one it is waking up from might make a big difference. My Windows machine is really fast waking up from sleep mode, but it takes a little longer to wake up from hibernation -- not awful, but you definitely notice waiting on it. Is the Mac's hibernation way niftier? |
Traditionally, I believe Linux has provided an inferior sleep experience to both Windows and MacOS X, so boot time would be more important as you're more likely to shut down the PC. I don't know if this is correct though. |
Greatest benefit was to be noticed for machines booting from SSDs. |
This sentence is has no content:
"Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu, touts the new release as its best yet and says that the latest improvements will take the Ubuntu user experience to the next level." |
Yeah, but if you hate Gnome and like apt it's still the best option. Don't much care about xsplash, etc. |
Getting the 64 bit version was kind of a pain, I had to google ubuntu 9.10 64 bit,which got me http://releases.ubuntu.com/karmic/, just an fyi for any one else only getting the 32 bit option from the link.
+1 on wanting Kubuntu to be a 1st class citizen and more time/energy devoted to it. KDE 4.3 still needs a little work, but it's getting there, and certainly works plenty well enough to use every day. Does the PaperCuts project do anything with KDE?
Also you should create a LiveUSB drive and boot from that, it boots a lot faster that way. You can also save your settings and files. |
Installs way faster too, also doesn't waste a CD/DVD for only one use. |
I'd like to see some significant development time spent on improving battery life on laptops. Seriously, what percentage of users now use laptops vs. desktops? 70/30 in favor of laptops? Having Windows beat you in the battery life department by 50% is embarrassing.
Two ways to faster boot, one is remove stuff from the boot sequence, the other is to do it more intelligently and phased.
In response to the earlier poster, the 64-bit version is on the main download page if you click on "alternative download options". If anyone else is curious, the torrent link is the fastest way to get it.
Right now, I am typing this from the 64-bit version on a quad-boot system. I did a fresh install after deleting my 9.04 partition and the install & hardware detection went fine. While I'm still in the early stages of using it, everything works great far, other than an Ubuntu One (cloud storage) capabilities mismatch error. The OS seems more quick & responsive, and the new sound preferences tool is definitely a huge improvement in regards to simplicity & clarity over the previous mess. Things look better from the login prompt down to the icons, with improved visual consistency as well (I still don't care for the default theme though, and changed it almost right away). Not too shabby! |

"Frankly, I don't expect very much from Xi," he said. "This new Chinese leadership looks to be extraordinarily weak in part because of the seven members of the Politburo Standing Committee, five of them will have to retire by 2017 which means that the jockeying is already underway for the next succession."
He said the government is likely to take a "wait-and-see" attitude while the rest of the international community seeks to exert pressure on North Korea through the United Nations Security Council.
"If North Korea develops longer range ballistic missiles, China doesn't think that they'll be aimed at Beijing. So from China's perspective it has very little interest or need to come down very hard on North Korea until the U.S., Japan and South Korea make it clear to China that allowing North Korea to do this is going to be more costly than cracking down on them," Cheng said.
In a statement Wednesday, China's foreign ministry spokesman Hong Lei "expressed regret" about the launch.
"China has always insisted on bringing peace and stability to the Korean Peninsula through multilateral dialogue. We hope relevant parties stay calm in order to maintain peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula," he said.
China has traditionally been a stumbling block in efforts by the international community to pressure North Korea with sanctions imposed through the U.N. Security Council, Klingner said.
"When the U.S. and South Korea went to the U.N. working group after the April launch with a proposed 40 additional entities, China rejected all but three," he said.
He added that the U.S.'s ability to convince Beijing to back its efforts on North Korea will be a real test of U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice, and the Obama adminstration's policy toward China.

In 1921 Chuck Taylor began working for Converse, and their popularity spiked. For a long time they monopolized the sport-playing shoe; nearly all basketball and tennis players wore Converse All Star sneakers. Converse continues to be a successful brand decades later, with both the classic shoe they started with and new designs that follow their simple aesthetic. The Converse All Star canvas shoe is still the most popular of their shoes and is worn by people of all ages from many different parts of the world. While still a casual sport shoe,the All Star's iconic design makes it an essential item in any fashion-follower's closet.

3 Light Down Light Adjustable Pendant from the Impressions Collection
A Classic
A beautifully made and designed fixture. I bought two in the same collection to compliment each other and they are both the perfect choice to go with a modern look of any type. The materials are high end and the designs are sophisticated and clean lined. The lighting, thanks to the frosted defusers are soft and bright.
Love these fixtures. And, made in USA. What a nice extra!

Hello everyone, Im Fernando from Brazil, starting today here in the forum... Well, what I can say is that my english is far away from the aceptable, so i'm working to improve it... I can say that I built my "way of living" watching animes... And here is a list of the ones that made the real diference:
Sakura Card Captors + Tsubasa Chronicles + xxxholic + kanon(2006) I can say basically that my life went through this sequence of animes, starting with that shy boy that was Shoran in SCC, that meets the girl of his life, going to a jorney to discover her heart (TRC+xxxholic) and his own heart to, and ending in Kanon but with no happy endings. That turned me in a man, and taught me my way. I'll try to help as much as i can. []'s |

Hey everyone! I've been a lurker on this forum for nearly a decade! I've seen it change so many times! It's remained the best place on the internet to talk about anime though, so isn't that something, or is it to be expected with the great community here? I'm actually not sure! Either way, thanks for being you, and I'm awfully giddy to be able to post on my original account!

one possible reason for the extended pole could be snow clearance, just a thought.
just had a look at this from Boston earlier this year
they are using marker poles to alert the snow ploughs to the lights location
I wonder why in the USA Globally they sell Low/Medium Intensity Airport Lights with Incandescent Lamps where in the UK they are High Intensity Lights, also what is interesting on Small Airports they seem to mount the Lights on poles almost 3 feet high, which could be damaged by Aircraft Strike, anyway I have bought one off the US E-bay and it came with the Long Pole
This Light has a Dual Red Clear Lens the Red Side is to warn Pilots that they are approaching the End of the Runway the Clear is used as a standard Runway light for the Opposite Direction, as you can see it is mounted on one log pole

Last edited by kebecker; 04-12-2011 at 23:20. Reason: another thought!
Makes Sense, I think it's common for Runway and Taxiway Lights to me mounted on long stems/poles see photos
All the Best
US Runway Threshold/End Light
US Taxiway Edge Light
In the UK there are low intensity lights aswell as high intensity, so it isn't only the US. It's entirely dependant on the category and use of the airfield.
Small airports you may see threshold lights on a longer pole, but edge lighting is usually elevated only a little. I've never seen a long pole near the runway unless it were threshold on small airfields and of course, the approach.
From the distance, that looks like the normal height of an elevated taxiway light, which is shorter than the photo that sailor_moon has posted.
You'd be surprised though, the snow soon melts away once the lights are on and even on small use airfields such as military it's often advised to switch them on when they open the tower and leave them on all day to ensure they're clear.
There's clear to the eye, but then there's clear to the degree of coverage and spread pattern as up there, it all looks different.
Like Kebecker I also suspect that these lights may be raised for snow clearance, not every airfield clears snow like we do in the UK. As for putting the lights on to assist the snow clearance, do you know Ive never seen any station do that!
The snow ploughs/runway clearing vehicles won't de ice or clear the snow from the lights perfectly. In the nicest possible way of course, when fully understood about coverage, light spread, lighting regulations, it isn't enough to clear the lights and expect the correct pattern from above. The lights will get very warm, which is a good way to assist in clearing them and keeping them clear.
I've watched it many times on airfields I have worked at as an airfield lighting and controls electrician and it's something we advise. For example, PAPIS have what is called 'black heat', a heater circuit to keep the ice off the lenses and filters inside as they'd otherwise need to be on full for 20 mins to give the output and coverage required by the JSP.
Some interesting material in a Transport Canada Advisory Circular 302-008 relating to elevated light fixtures
Remove snow from around the lighting fixtures as soon as possible after a snowfall so the light fixtures are not obscured. If heavy snowfalls are predicted, plant red flags or reflective sticks of enough length next to the edge lights to mark their location. The flags will help snow removal and will lessen the damage to fixtures by snow removal equipment.
When flags or sticks are used, care is taken to ensure that the installation is secure and the devices will not be released so as to become FOD on the runway or taxiway.
FAA recoomedations regarding elevated lighting in snow areas:
The height of the lights should not exceed 14 inches when located within 5 feet of the runway or taxiway edge. In snow regions, where the lights are located beyond 5 feet from the runway or taxiway edge, the lights may be raised 2 inches for each foot beyond the 5 foot point. At the 10 foot position, the lights may have a maximum height of 30 inches . The increase in height is permitted only if any overhanging part of an aircraft expected to use the runway or taxiway could clear the light by at least 6 inches when the planes main landing gear is located on any part of the runway or taxiway
I am sure I have seen some manufactures guidance on keeping lights moisture free in winter operations,just a case of findin it

Hi Guys
Thanks for the update, I have bought three more Airfield Lights off E-bay one is a Butlers Light see HERE, the other two lights are GEC ZA105's Unidirectional Approach/Runway Edge Lights, they have been modified to use 12 volt 55 watt H1 Auto Halogen Lamps,

Tagged: Green Cross Code
I don't drive. There are many reasons for this. Mainly cos I'd be shit at it. The few times I've tried I screamed a lot and flailed. Probably best not to flail while driving. Anyway, yes, I'd be shit at it, and also, partly mainly, cos I don't trust ANYBODY else out there in the world who can drive a vehicle. I've seen some crazy-ass driving by some crazy-ass drivers, and by all accounts, even the most sensible of folk can become mentalissimo when placed behind the wheel of a hunk of moving metal. So. I know I'll be a shit driver, therefore, I don't drive. Other people are not so scrupulous. And, today, I can safely say the same about some cyclists.
Maybe I'm not the best candidate for driving lessons, but I do know some basic highway code shizzle. And when I say basic, I mean BASIC. Like, BAAAAASIC. Innit. Namely: red light means stop. I know that. Red = stop. Always. It means STOP for all of us. For me, and you, you, and you. And especially YOU, Mr Cyclist, who nevertheless decided today that the red light actually meant fark all to him and his two-wheeled machine of doom. Idiot. Thankfully, nothing happened. But it almost so very did. Had I stepped onto the road – guided by the green man – a moment earlier, then Mr Cyclist and his cunting bike would have ploughed into the buggy carrying my daughter. All because he couldn't be ARSED to stop at a farking RED LIGHT.
As it was, he went through the stop signal, round the corner and passed within a hand's breadth of the front of the buggy, close enough for me to exclaim out loud, and for the old lady just behind me to audibly gasp in anticipation of a collision.
Like I said, no collision. But I was shaken up something rotten. Just to torture myself, I imagine what might have happened had Mr Cyclist swerved or, I dunno, he had been a car or something. Doesn't really bear thinking about. Farking idiot.
I'm not saying all cyclists are bastards. No way. Just that one. I hexed him as he cycled away. So he should be getting a nice fresh bout of penis rot soon. Along with squiffy-eye, mouldy ear drum, and leaping gonad boils. Only the best hexes for an irresponsible vehicularist.
Ah I feel better now. That's been niggling at me all afternoon. Nowt like a bout of pedestrian rage to invoke a teensy bit of venting. Now it's your turn. Road rage? Pedestrian rage? Who has pissed you off on the glorious byways of Britain today?
Moo's only 14 months old but I think it is important to teach her how to cross the road properly, so if we're out and she's on her reins or I'm carrying her, I always talk her through the Green Cross Code.
Today, on returning from the park…
Me: [to Moo, standing on kerb waiting to cross our road]: Now make sure you look both ways and listen for cars as well.
Old man, having sneaked up beside us: You don't need to look both ways, it's a one way road!
Me: [opens mouth to retort]
Just then, a van drives past THE WRONG WAY.
Old man: He's going the wrong way.
Me: [to Moo] AND THAT'S WHY YOU LOOK BOTH WAYS BEFORE YOU CROSS THE ROAD
We cross the road.

Zealotry versus advocacy
Friday, June 5th, 2009Recently, I was compelled by a friend to download GNU Privacy Guard, GPG in short, in order to do things "properly", when we were gonna exchange some possibly sensitive data. Now, GPG is a open-source re-implentation of the venerable PGP, Pretty Good Privacy, which was one of the first widely used programs using the public-key cryptography. Public-key crypto is socalled asymmetric-key system, since the sender and receiver of a messege do not share a key before hand. It allows total strangers to communicate securely over in-secure lines. The internet's SSL (which is usually what's used when you see https in the address bar of your browser) is built on this technology. So what we're dealing with here is a serious attempt at a full blown cryptographic system, used by people across the globe, wishing to communicate securely. With all this in mind, the experience I had when reading the following snippet in the Windows readme was even more jarring
The term "W32″ is used to describe the API used by current Microsoft Windows versions. We don't use the Microsft terminology here; in hacker terminology, calling something a "win" is a form of praise. Keep in mind that Windows ist just a temporary workaround until you can switch to a complete Free Software system. Be the source always with you.
The Windows API is normally referred to as "win32″ (the 32 is a reference to the fact that it's a 32 bit machine API). So by refusing to refer to the term "win32″, and instead use "W32″, it merely comes across as a totally juveline display of non-professionalism. Being termed a "hacker" is an honorary term in the programmer community, and as with all such things, you don't get to name yourself a hacker. So it's not only slightly buffoonish with the allusion to the hacker term "win", it's also quite campy with it's Star Wars reference.
I'm all for the Unix philosophy and open source. In fact, I think it's healthy for the IT world, that some people think in terms of more then just money. But when dogmatic advocacy gives trumps real world pragmatism, I'm off the train.

Look into IGF-2. It has solid feedback.
Prime isn't a test booster as far as I know.

I like bulk testofen for a cost to benefit ratio.
For how much it costs I found it more effective for the price than some of the more expensive ones that were four times the price.
Not aggressively marketed but it works and works more reliably than a lot of the more expensive testosterone boosters.
Good luck.

Its for PCT after Letrazole which will pretty much eliminate estrogen, then the test booster is used to bring it back up to normal levels

Many solid options like all listed. There are many products in this group, but they are often over looked as right now, estrogen control seems to be whats hot at the moment. Testabolan V.2 may be worth a look; it has always gotten good reviews in the past.

That is true, but IGF-2 is primarily a GROWTH HORMONE booster - boosting testosterone is a secondary benefit.
The original Prime was most definitely is a testosterone booster - there has been a change in formulation, so that may be where there is some confusion. Nevertheless, either version, Prime is still a natural anabolic - the reformulated version is nothing like the original, looking at the ingredient profile.

It's a great product and always at an amazing price at Nutra.
3g of DAA/ 2g of LCLT/ 700mg of NAT. No prop-blends so you know what your getting
I would say check out Titanium as well since the stack is only $39.99 right now. But you don't want anything to block estro and Indole-3-carbinol is in Titanium.
IGF 2, Drive, Lit Up (DAA). stack all those for a great natty stack with the best sleep of your life!

The Slammer (Slam Balls)
The Slammer (Slam Balls)
Every aspect of The Slammer was designed around a single movement, The Slam Ball. The shell, weight medium, air pressure, and dimensions are the result of extensive product development performed over a range of environments. We believe we have created something unique that will eliminate the frustrations of current commercial products while providing years of physical pain and suffering to its users.
Just say no to Corks!
We didn't cut the cork, stuff the cork, or glue the cork. We eliminated the cork. Many current products used for the slam ball movement make use of a plastic rim and cork system. Slamming a ball repeatedly at the wrong angle will cause the product to fail at or near the rim. By working closely with material specialists we were able to create both a product and process that allows for the same super tough 9" diameter shell to be weighted at 10, 15, 20, 25, or 30 pounds and 10" diameter for the 35, 40, and 50 pounds without the use of a cork system.
Tested tough. This ball has undergone an incredible gauntlet of testing. We did our best to run this ball through the unknown and the unknowable but it still came back for more slams. In fact several of our prototypes have been slammed over 5000 times and are still on active duty. That's why we are confident in making the below UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTEE;
If your Slammer has a failure for any reason for three years simply send us the shell and we will replace the ball no questions asked.

Clevo Rocks!
Pros: dependable, reliable, durable, professional, stylish, simple, elegant, fast, steady, excellent hardware and parts, nice waranty, hi-end, attractive
Cons: expensive
The Clevo P150HM / Sager np8150 is everything one would expect from a reputable builder like Clevo. This is my 2nd Clevo purchase and I am very happy with the P150HM. I went with the 2nd generation Intel Sandy Bridge processor by way of the i72670qm - 2.2 GHZ to 3.1 GHZ over-clocked. I have 12 GB of SoDimm 1066 204 pin memory, and chose the Ge-force GTX 560m graphics card. I like the speed, response and performance of my Clevo - especially for what I do with it. I am not a gamer but I edit and produce short films and videos for You Tube and home use. I also download a lot of movies, music and pictures from the net.
