text: Windows 8 to come in four versionsEdward N. Albro - April 17, 2012After years of confusing consumers with multiple, slightly different versions of the same operating system, Microsoft Corp. announced Tuesday that Windows 8 will come in only four versions: One for home use, one for business, one for devices running ARM chips, and one for large enterprises who buy in bulk. For most people buying an operating system for a traditional desktop or laptop, the choice will be between just two versions. The version called simply "Windows 8" is designed for home users. "Windows 8 Pro" is for business users and includes features for encrypting a file system, virtualization, and domain management."Windows RT" is the new name for what had been called Windows on ARM. You won't be able to purchase it on its own; it'll come preinstalled on PCs and tablets that run ARM processors. Windows RT won't be able to run traditional X86/64 desktop software. Instead, it'll run touch-oriented apps based on Windows Runtime (or WinRT), Microsoft's programming model for mobile apps. Apps for the touch-oriented Metro interface are built using Windows Runtime.Windows RT will come with special touch-oriented versions of Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote. No Word on Pricing or AvailabilityIn a blog post announcing the versions, Microsoft's Brandon LeBlanc didn't say how much the versions would cost, or when they'd be available. But he did make official what everyone assumed was true anyway: that the new OS will be called "Windows 8." The final version of Windows 8 won't be available for most consumers. "As with previous versions of Windows, we will also have an edition of Windows 8 specifically for those enterprise customers with Software Assurance agreements," LeBlanc wrote in a postscript. "Windows 8 Enterprise includes all the features of Windows 8 Pro plus features for IT organization that enable PC management and deployment, advanced security, virtualization, new mobility scenarios, and much more."Admirable RestraintReducing their OS to four editions shows, for Microsoft, considerable restraint. Windows 7, for instance, comes in six flavours: Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional, Enterprise, and Ultimate. In fairness, the Starter version is found mostly only in developing countries and the Enterprise version is available only to large corporations.But that still left home buyers choosing among three options: Home Basic, Home Premium, and Ultimate. With Windows 8, the choice should be much clearer; most home users will choose the Windows 8 version. Only home "enthusiasts" might be interested in Windows 8 Pro, LeBlanc said.

Trojan asteroid found orbiting Uranus
Thu, 29 Aug 2013 14:10 UTC
A Trojan asteroid is a transient space rock which is temporarily captured by the gravity of a giant planet. It shares the planet's orbital path, locked into a specific position known as a Lagrange point. What makes 2011 QF99 unusual is its presence in the outer solar system. Researchers found the scenario a bit unlikely. Why? The answer is simply because of planet size. According to theory, the strong gravitational pull of the larger neighboring planets should have destabilized any captured asteroid's orbit and shot Uranian Trojans out of the neighborhood long ago.
So just how did this 60 kilometer-wide conglomeration of ice and rock end up circling Uranus? Astronomers turned towards computer modeling for the answer. The research team, including UBC astronomers Brett Gladman, Sarah Greenstreet and colleagues at the National Research Council of Canada and Observatoire de Besancon in France, did a simulation of the solar system and its co-orbital objects - including Trojan asteroids. A short-term animation showing the motion of 2011 QF99, as seen from above the north pole of the solar system can be found here.
"Surprisingly, our model predicts that at any given time three percent of scattered objects between Jupiter and Neptune should be co-orbitals of Uranus or Neptune," says Mike Alexandersen, lead author of the study to be published tomorrow in the journal Science.
Until now, no one had made any estimates on the percentage of possible outer solar system Trojans. Unexpectedly, the amount ended up being far greater than earlier estimates. Just over the last 10 years, several temporary Trojans and co-orbitals have been cataloged and 2011 QF99 is one of them. It made its home around Uranus within the last few hundred thousand years and will eventually - in about a million years - escape Uranus' gravity.
"This tells us something about the current evolution of the solar system," says Alexandersen. "By studying the process by which Trojans become temporarily captured, one can better understand how objects migrate into the planetary region of the solar system."

One wants good storytelling from animated films, and Treasure Planet is working with a good one. But, like pirates hoarding gold, it gets greedy trying to wow us with too much.
Steven Rosen - Denver Post
For anyone who grew up on Disney's 1950 Treasure Island, or remembers the 1934 Victor Fleming classic, this one feels like an impostor.
Roger Ebert - Chicago Sun-Times
Directors John Musker and Ron Clements, the team behind The Little Mermaid, have produced sparkling retina candy, but they aren't able to muster a lot of emotional resonance in the cold vacuum of space.
Robert K. Elder - Chicago Tribune
It's laced with literate humor, and the directors cite N.C. Wyeth's illustrations for the 1911 Scribner's edition of Treasure Island as the inspiration for their marvelously detailed fantasy world.
Bill Stamets - Chicago Reader
Sci-fi meets sea-faring fantasy, and the mix isn't half bad.
Steven Rea - Philadelphia Inquirer
Moody, involving and endlessly inventive, Treasure Planet lacks only the element of delight, of joyfulness that marks the very best animation has to offer.
Susan Stark - Detroit News
One of the most gorgeous Disney films ever.
Bill Muller - Arizona Republic
'Treasure Plane' starts with the clever idea of transforming the story into an old-fashioned space opera, and the animated visuals are handily up to the studio's best. Yet the film's total appeal may be undercut by a script that rarely feels inspired.
Andy Klein - Variety
Better than OK, but no Spirited Away.
Lou Lumenick - New York Post
Has its moments, but it's pretty far from a treasure.
Jay Boyar - Orlando Sentinel
There's enough meaty plot and character left beneath the fancy effects to make watching the film a satisfying experience.
Daphne Gordon - Toronto Star
This concoction, so bizarre to the adult mind, is actually a charming triumph where its intended under-12 audience is concerned.
Ray Conlogue - Globe and Mail
As family films go, this one offers an engaging and exciting 90 minutes.
James Berardinelli - ReelViews
This is an enjoyable though forgettable film, brightly animated but allowing itself to descend into slapstick, fart jokes and flippant humor.
Kirk Honeycutt - Hollywood Reporter
The genre's recent past has set the bar quite high, and Treasure Planet doesn't quite make it over.
Kenneth Turan - Los Angeles Times
The addition of an insufferable robot named B.E.N. (Martin Short) cripples much of the film's momentum and renders many of the latter scenes unwatchable (a friend once dubbed B.E.N. "the Jar-Jar Binks of animation," and she was absolutely right).
Matt Brunson - Creative Loafing
Given the amazing artwork, if a better character [than a cyborg John Silver] had been inserted, we'd be talking about "Treasure Planet" as another Disney classic.
James Plath - Movie Metropolis
The awkward trappings of this Disney adventure mechanize and blunt the tale's humanity. It pops and squeaks and rumbles, but Treasure Planet lacks the strength to transport audiences. [Blu-ray]
Peter Canavese - Groucho Reviews
Outer-space pirate treasure hunt lots of fun; fab animation.
Nell Minow - Common Sense Media
Like stepping forth, in an explosion of colors, weird body shapes and bad comedy, into somebody else's migraine.
Tim Brayton - Antagony & Ecstasy
By following its story as closely as they have, the filmmakers have retained much of what made the novel a classic.
Steven D. Greydanus - Decent Films Guide
Swashbuckling, intergalactic fun.
Mark Halverson - Sacramento News & Review
Inspired visuals and fluid animation, even blown up on IMAX, weren't enough to prevent me from being bored out of my skull.
Michael Dequina - TheMovieReport.com
While Pixar can do no wrong with its cutting edge CGI originals, Disney is falling back on old formulas
Dean Essner - Time Out
Hey mom, I went to another planet and found money for you to buy back the family farm. Sure, I blew up the planet in the process, but aren't you proud of me?
Jeffrey Overstreet - Looking Closer
There is almost no coherence to the plot points, leaving another technically sound but disposable product that awaits its straight-to-video sequel.
Charlie Brown - FilmStew.com
Esta curiosa releitura do classico de Robert Louis Stevenson conta com um visual impressionante e boas sequencias de acao. Ainda assim, esta longe de se equiparar aos grandes classicos da Disney.
Pablo Villaca - Cinema em Cena
...just the sort of fast-paced adventure flick that today's kids aren't getting enough of.
David Nusair - Reel Film Reviews
It's not one of Disney's greatest, but it's solid entertainment.
Nick Rogers - State Journal-Register (Springfield, IL)
The film's signature imagery is impressive and there are some good set-pieces.
Dean Essner - Empire Magazine
Dean Essner - Newsday
This is Disney animation at its best: a witty and swashbuckling tale of adventure.
Jim Shelby - Palo Alto Weekly
In attempting to update the novel, Disney filmmakers have dulled the characterizations and dialogue and given us instead a lovely series of picture postcards from outer space.
John J. Puccio - DVDTown.com
John J. Puccio - Movie Metropolis
Disney guarantees a certain standard of entertainment that will doubtless satisfy several hundred thousand families.
Daniel Etherington - Film4
Disney's Treasure Planet adds a unique spin to a classic story which has delighted readers for generations.
Kit Bowen - Hollywood.com
It's beautiful, it's funny, it's colorful. But somehow the magic isn't exactly there in full measure.
John R. McEwen - Film Quips Online
Akin to an extremely well-made Saturday morning cartoon -- great for hyperactive four-year-olds or hungover students, not worth a trip to the pictures.
Nev Pierce - BBC
There is nothing in Treasure Planet we haven't seen in recent animated efforts such as "Titan AE" and Disney's own "Atlantis: The Lost Empire" . . .
James O'Ehley - Sci-Fi Movie Page
Dazzles and delights, like a billion bits of gold bullion strewn about the caves of a rampaging buccaneer.
Robert Wilonsky - Dallas Observer
Stefan Birgir Stefansson - sbs.is
If you don't have a youngster handy to give you an excuse to see Treasure Planet, hire one, just so you can step off this mortal coil in turmoil for 95 minutes of terrific adventure, with hardly any corn or schmaltz to distract you from a ripping good yar
Urban Cinefile Critics - Urban Cinefile
The film failed to be imaginative enough.
Dennis Schwartz - Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Each scene looks wonderful, and the action is energetic and exciting enough to keep us hooked. Forget where it came from and it's not half bad.
Rich Cline - Shadows on the Wall
Fine family fun.
Rebecca Murray - About.com
"Treasure Planet" is unfortunately more like a Saturday morning cartoon, even with a running time of eighty or so minutes. It's no "Lilo & Stitch," but it's worth a matinee if only to see it; too bad there couldn't have been more to feel.
Kevin A. Ranson - MovieCrypt.com
While the artwork in the film is very good, the story is curiously cool and emotionally uninvolving.
Robert Roten - Laramie Movie Scope
Treasure Planet is certainly suffering from creative schizophrenia.
Josh Gilchrist - Billings Outpost (Montana)
The overall tone of this rocket-paced updating is exhilaratingly giddy, making it by far Disney's best animated film since Mulan.
Marc Savlov - Austin Chronicle
Where we kids of all ages ought to be eagerly running out, hearts pounding and faces flushed with excitement, to hoist the Jolly Roger in the backyard, all we can do is reel from having the warm fuzzies mercilessly pounded into us.
John G. Nettles - PopMatters
Half Star Wars and half Classics Illustrated, Disney's Treasure Planet is a total blast, filled with animation dazzle and imaginative storytelling.
Gerry Shamray - Sun Newspapers of Cleveland
The studio may be taking a monetary risk by straying from its musical formula, but it can rest assured that in doing so it's delivered a pleasing entertainment.
Mark Palermo - Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia)
Most Disney flicks work on an adult level; I don't feel like I need a kid to lug into the theatre with me. This time, I felt like I needed a kid.
Mike McGranaghan - Aisle Seat
One of the better efforts to come out of the Mouse House's traditional animation departments in recent years.
Garth Franklin - Dark Horizons
Not since Mulan (or, quite possibly, even The Hunchback of Notre Dame) has there been a Disney cartoon so casual about its own brilliance...
David Keyes - Cinemaphile.org
I think kids will find it really entertaining, and parents will find it amusing enough.
Richard Roeper - Ebert & Roeper
It's yo-ho-ho and a bundle of fun, along with an abundance of imagination and a bounty of spectacular imagery, a family film in the very best and most inclusive sense of that often misused term.
Joe Leydon - San Francisco Examiner
Although Disney follows its standard formula in this animated adventure, it feels more forced than usual.
Jeffrey Chen - Window to the Movies
Although there are some minor problems in the script and storytelling plus the characters seem assembled from the Disney cookie-cutter conveyor belt the kids won't mind.
Tony Toscano - Talking Pictures (U.S.)
Only occasionally succeeds in transposing the romantic spirit of Robert Louis Stevenson's 1883 adventure classic to the far reaches of the galaxy.
Michael Tunison - Boxoffice Magazine
It's a rollicking adventure for you and all your mateys, regardless of their ages.
Linda Cook - Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)
Treasure Island may be a much-loved story, but you would never know it from viewing the uninspired castration that is Treasure Planet.
Dustin Putman - DustinPutman.com
It's a photocopy of a photocopy of a photocopy.
Eric D. Snider - EricDSnider.com
A film that will enthrall the whole family.
Marshall Fine - Journal News (Westchester, NY)
Disney gambled on the whimsical but oddball idea of catapulting a rickety old boat into space. And on some levels, it works.
Audrey Rock-Richardson - Tooele Transcript-Bulletin (Utah)
With its inventive art direction and stunning action sequences, not to mention sophisticated hilarity and no small amount of tongue-in-cheek homo-eroticism, this may be the sci-fi space pic for the grown-ups to see this holiday season.
Peg Aloi - Boston Phoenix
It just may inspire a few younger moviegoers to read Stevenson's book, which is a treasure in and of itself.
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie - Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Though families will enjoy the classic story with a cosmic twist, the most valuable gem is the beautiful mix of hand-drawn and computer animation.
Stephanie Cook Broadhurst - Christian Science Monitor
Abounds with kid-friendly thrills.
Margaret A. McGurk - Cincinnati Enquirer
Delicious aesthetic, zippy dry dialogue, and some great adventure. Superb voice casting.
Karina Montgomery - Cinerina
This version does justice both to Stevenson and to the sci-fi genre.
Robert W. Butler - Kansas City Star
Contains a lot of cool little ideas ... but is lacking the one big idea that opens up the possibilities of animated story telling.
Sean Means - Salt Lake Tribune
This might please the 8 year-olds, but more discerning fans of animation, and adventure are likely to be disappointed with how slack and tedious this latest Disney offering is.
Brian Orndorf - Modamag.com
In visual fertility Treasure Planet rivals the top Japanese animations of recent vintage.
David Elliott - San Diego Union-Tribune
At about 95 minutes, Treasure Planet maintains a brisk pace as it races through the familiar story. However, it lacks grandeur and that epic quality often associated with Stevenson's tale as well as with earlier Disney efforts.
Bob Bloom - Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
A spiffy animated feature about an unruly adolescent boy who is yearning for adventure and a chance to prove his worth.
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat - Spirituality and Practice
The techs are, simply, outstanding in every way.
Robin Clifford - Reeling Reviews
A movie that will thrill you, touch you and make you laugh as well.
Larry Carroll - Countingdown.com
We're not talking a Disney treasure here, but if Treasure Planet falls short of gem status, it should provide youngsters with a reasonable amount of diversion.
Robert Denerstein - Denver Rocky Mountain News
When the Disney people go after your holiday dollar, they don't leave anything in the paint box.
C.W. Nevius - San Francisco Chronicle
If Treasure Planet falls short of Lion King's classic status, it still proves there is plenty of room in animation for movies that aren't geared exclusively to 8-year-olds.
Rene Rodriguez - Miami Herald
There's loads of eye candy, but nothing that's terribly engaging. It's not bad, but no classic.
John Venable - Supercala.com
A cluttered mishmash of conflicting styles and times.
Mary F. Pols - Contra Costa Times
The plot's clearly mythic structure may owe more to Disney's strong sense of formula than to the original story. But while the highly predictable narrative falls short, Treasure Planet is truly gorgeous to behold.
Peter Bernard - South Florida Sun-Sentinel
This is one of the more exciting Disney animated features. It moves quickly and has some good, distinctive voice performances.
Jeff Vice - Deseret News, Salt Lake City
There's no mistaking the fact that this hybrid misses the impact of the Disney classic, and even that of the excellent 1934 MGM version.
William Arnold - Seattle Post-Intelligencer
This is exactly what animation should be about, presenting us with a thrillingly imaginative adventure that is utterly liberated from trivialities like the laws of physics and possibility.
Nell Minow - Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies
Treasure Planet is a handsome picture, with lots of nifty borrowings from the Star Wars galaxy, but it's never particularly compelling as a story or as a vehicle for emotions.
Shawn Levy - Oregonian
Once you excuse the silliness of the concept, the movie is actually entertaining enough to win over this old pirate.
Jack Garner - Rochester Democrat and Chronicle
Disney's animated pirate tale has masterful visuals -- and an amateur's script.
James Rocchi - Netflix
What makes the movie work is Disney's reliable artistry, superb as usual.
Gary Thompson - Philadelphia Daily News
Will grab your children by the imagination and amaze them and amuse them.
Liz Braun - Jam! Movies
Retaining the swashbuckling spirit of Stevenson's novel but adding megabytes of computer-age cool, Treasure Planet is the one holiday thrill ride the whole family can enjoy.
Terry Lawson - Detroit Free Press
No matter how confused the story gets or how unclear Jim's motivations are, we still have Long John Silver, whose is-he-good- or-is-he-bad complexity is so fascinating that he'll make us stick around for any movie he yo-ho-hos in.
Chris Hewitt (St. Paul) - St. Paul Pioneer Press
Disney's updated, animated version respects its source material while aiming at kids who grew up with extreme sports and edgy music.
Lawrence Toppman - Charlotte Observer
As action-adventure, this space-based homage to Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island fires on all plasma conduits.
Duane Dudek - Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
If you're searching for a treasure, look elsewhere.
Phil Villarreal - Arizona Daily Star
Like Atlantis, it's one of those Disney adventure cartoons that takes too long getting to anything really exciting -- and once there becomes too frenetic to effectively wow.
Bob Strauss - Los Angeles Daily News
It's doubtful the 'tweens' they're aiming at here still embrace Disney, and little kids don't care about back story.
Jon Strickland - L.A. Weekly
A perfectly competent and often imaginative film that lacks what little Lilo & Stitch had in spades -- charisma.
Joe Baltake - Sacramento Bee
Safe entertainment and a visually impressive piece of work.
Paul Salfen - Supercala.com
Treasure Planet moves like the story's rocket-powered flying ships taking viewers from one breath-taking adventure to another, but always making room for laughs and even some poignant life lessons.
Louis B. Hobson - Jam! Movies
Don't look for gravity-bound logic here. This is cartoon fantasy, not a literal translation, although in its way it stays pretty close to Stevenson's characters and storyline.
John Hartl - Seattle Times
A rousing good time that should entertain kids and adults alike.
Jim Judy - Screen It!
Although the plot is marginally faithful to Stevenson, a considerable helping of the usual Disney ingredients have been tossed into this pirate stew and they don't always blend easily.
James Sanford - Kalamazoo Gazette
Inventive alien creatures are voiced by top-notch talent like Emma Thompson, David Hyde Pierce and Martin Short, while the lack of songs and updated character issues, including single parenthood, money and juvenile crime, keep the whole thing pretty hip.
Dean Essner - E! Online
Sucking all the 'classic' out of Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island and filling the void with sci-fi video game graphics and Disney-fied adolescent angst...
Rob Blackwelder - SPLICEDWire
Like its source novel, `Treasure Planet' brims with the spirit of discovery.
Josh Larsen - Sun Publications (Chicago, IL)
Not as good as Lilo and Stitch or Spirited Away, but worth actually going with the kids.
Eric Lurio - Greenwich Village Gazette
A truly wonderful tale combined with stunning animation.
Paul Clinton (CNN.com) - CNN.com
It's a fun adventure movie for kids (of all ages) that like adventure.
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone - TheMovieChicks.com
(CNN.com) Paul Clinton - CNN.com
It's a pleasant enough way to mark time, which is exactly what the rest of the Disney crew is doing -- until inspiration, like a beam from the far end of the galaxy, strikes again.
Glenn Lovell - San Jose Mercury News
Looking at Treasure Planet is a wondrous thing, but listening to it is another matter. The Disney team makes an uncommon mistake by casting actors with distracting voices.
Jeffrey Westhoff - Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL)
The movie is paced with precision. Although we spend plenty of time getting to know the characters, there's never a dull moment, and the transitions from one scene to the next are particularly smart.
Forrest Hartman - Reno Gazette-Journal
This is a good script, good dialogue, funny even for adults. The characters are interesting and often very creatively constructed from figure to backstory. The film will play equally well on both the standard and giant screens.
Ross Anthony - Hollywood Report Card
Its sense of adventure is a minor saving grace in a flawed movie
Marty Mapes - Movie Habit
Some of the computer animation is handsome, and various amusing sidekicks add much-needed levity to the otherwise bleak tale, but overall the film never rises above mediocrity.
Angel Cohn - TV Guide's Movie Guide
Visually rather stunning, but ultimately a handsome-looking bore, the true creativity would have been to hide Treasure Planet entirely and completely reimagine it.
Erik Childress - eFilmCritic.com
[A] raucous adventure into infinity.
Susan Granger - www.susangranger.com
Lends itself to the narcotizing bland (sinister, though not nearly so sinister as the biennial Disney girl movie) machinations of the biennial Disney boy movie.
Walter Chaw - Film Freak Central
Viewed on its own terms, Treasure Planet is better-than-average family entertainment, but true fans of the Stevenson's novel will likely prefer Disney's more faithful 1950 live-action swashbuckling classic.
Bill Pearis - Citysearch
...spiced with humor ('I speak fluent flatula,' advises Denlopp after a rather, er, bubbly exchange with an alien deckhand) and witty updatings (Silver's parrot has been replaced with Morph, a cute alien creature who mimics everyone and everything around)
Laura Clifford - Reeling Reviews
This is a good ride. Take the kids or go by yourself.
Jean Lowerison - San Diego Metropolitan
Anyone who's seen Titan A.E. will have a hard time not feeling deja vu, even though Disney's effort is slightly better.
Mary Kalin-Casey - Reel.com
A moviegoing pal of mine calls it 'Disney goosebumps,' the awestruck, think-I'm-gonna-cry feeling evoked when the alchemy works and image and music fuse with your imagination and longing to transport you to another world.
MaryAnn Johanson - Flick Filosopher
Imaginative, ridiculously anachronistic and distinctly masculine, this is Disney's best traditional animation effort since The Emperor's New Groove.
Eugene Novikov - Film Blather
Treasure Planet is just a reminder of how much I liked the original template from which all these cheap knockoffs have come.
Joshua Tyler - CinemaBlend.com
A typical trip that resembles The Goonies as much as it does Stevenson's novel
Jon Popick - Planet Sick-Boy
A winningly fresh take on a tale that has never gone out of style...Disney has done Stevenson proud.
Frank Swietek - One Guy's Opinion
Martin Short gives as much energy and flair to this film as Robin Williams did to Aladdin and Eddie Murphy did to Mulan. He is a pure joy to watch and will make you laugh out loud on several occasions.
Danny Minton - KBTV-NBC (Beaumont, TX)
Many entertaining characters, a rockin' space adventure, plenty of eye-catching animation.
JoBlo - JoBlo's Movie Emporium
It's no Lilo & Stitch, not even close. It doesn't contain a single memorable line and has only one memorable character.
Steve Rhodes - Internet Reviews
Flatula es tal vez el mejor idioma para expresar mi valoracion, algo que me da tristeza y no gusto decir...
Alex Ramirez - Cinenganos
It brings to mind the bookish charms of undervalued Disney cartoons like The Rescuers and The Black Cauldron.
Ed Gonzalez - Slant Magazine
The most original and thrilling animated feature the studio has turned out in years.
Shirley Sealy - Film Journal International
Owes more to the swashbuckling serials of yesteryear cinema than it does to cold, steely science fiction ponderings of the future.
Sean O'Connell - Filmcritic.com

Someone should take a photo of the garbage cans after lunch period.
I was once stranded for a day in York, NE.
Nice little town. Nice people.
I object to any food called a "blaster"; that cannot end well.
OK, what am I missing here, sounds like good lunches to me?
I am 55 years old and sounds like the exact same lunch menus served when I was in school. moochelle hasn't changed anything.... except increase HER pant size.
Me too.
Probably, when you were in school, the food was made from scratch by local lunch ladies. I loved our school food - meatloaf, mashed potatoes, etc.... now it is all prepared, frozen and just heated by the lunch ladies. Most of it tastes like a cheap tv dinner. Nothing is really fried, just heated in the oven so limp baked "french fries", soggy baked chicken nuggets. One of my "favorites" when my son was in school was a roasted potato wedge.... it had nothing on it for seasoning because salt is bad you know. So kindergartners were given this hunk of roasted potato and it went straight into the trash most of the time.
I've seen them. It's amazing how much food is dumped. The custodian never slows down taking it out during the lunch period.
Our lunch ladies were country mamas who knew how to cook real food. None of this premade fake junk. OMG, the smell of baking homemade yeast rolls drifted all through the hallways!!! The lemon pepper or fried chicken was a real piece of chicken with a bone, meat and skin not some ground up mess. At our school today, they'll serve a baked potato with a butter sauce. Sure, the kids like it because it has a ton of sugar added to the sauce. One day, I asked what was in the sauce and the ladies just looked at me like huh? because it was premade but one finally mumbled it was only butter. Yeah, I just fell off the turnip truck. That was about the same duh? response I got out of them when I asked what was in the hamburger patties that was making my kid upchuck every time it was served. But it's 100% pure beef!!! Sure, there goes that turnip truck again.
Yes our public school was the same way when I was growing up. And the "free" lunch was homemade soup. If you didn't have money for a plate lunch you got soup. It was a good veggie and beef soup that didn't cost much. It is sad what has happened to the foods offered these days. So much gets thrown away, even unopened milk cartons. It is illegal to give it away.
"One of my favorites when my son was in school was a roasted potato wedge.... it had nothing on it for seasoning because salt is bad you know. So kindergartners were given this hunk of roasted potato and it went straight into the trash most of the time."
Well of course! A potato might be rich in nutrients, but it has next to no flavor on its own. Kids (and for that matter, quite a few adults) aren't going to eat flavorless food no matter how good it is for them.
Everyone gets free breakfast here and they make the kids take a milk and a juice. Of course, one or the other or both gets dumped unopened. What a waste. I used to help with the spec ed kids so sat with them as they arrived and through breakfast. We'd take anything that was unopened back to the room for snacks or would save it for use in their cooking lessons. There's a new teacher there now who can't be bothered with such so no snacks at the end of the day when some might not be getting supper. Oh, well.
Flat country and pretty dreary looking when we overnighted there a couple of years ago...but you're right about the nice people; the motel folks were super and the little Chinese restaurant nearby was a great surprise.
Exactly. Plus, since they are most worried about the kids who are not getting proper nutrition at home, they are competing with the fried fast food menus that a lot of those kids eat constantly. No way steamed broccoli or an unseasoned roasted potato is going to taste good to kids who have been raised on McDonalds and pizza hut. Most of the school food goes into the trash
Isn't that a shame? When we were kids you paid for each item individually (or the plate lunch then each dessert and milk) so you got what you wanted and didn't waste it because you had paid for it. Now they have to take everything and more than half the kids are getting it for free and don't care what gets wasted.
Remember, these are semi-skilled, Midwestern line cooks who are cooking these dishes. This won't taste like the stuff you get at the local Houlihan's.

Very nice hotel near Drexel UniversityPosted Oct 13, 2016
Pros: Close to several attractions in Philadelphia and the staff was very helpful.
Location: University City location and close to several restaurants and attractions, (ie. Academy of Natural Science and The Franklin Institute.
The staff at this hotel were amazingly nice, very helpful and extremely accommodating.

organized-impressivePosted Sep 6, 2016
Pros: staff, rooms and having a casual restaurant/pizza place right in the hotel. access also from the street. good food reasonably priced.
Cons: lower price per day for parking.
Location: wawa right across the street. 25 minutes from casino with simulcast horse racing. public transportation available. art museum.
staying for made in america. tons of people checking in. front desk was very calm and pleasant in the chaos. called ahead for early check in-they did their best. Called ahead to see if we could get a club room--booked BUT...for a minimal amount per night, was offered the club access even though we could not stay on the club room floor--great customer service! rated a 4 (wish I could rate 4.5) only negative is having to pay for parking--it's a little steep but on a positive note, parking garage was right next to hotel.

Convenient locationPosted Sep 6, 2016
Me and my friends stayed here for the Made in America festival and this was the perfect location. Just a quick cab/uber ride away. Staff very friendly and there was a nice view even from the 8th floor. My only complaint was the price of parking for guest $25 per night can start to add up.
by A verified traveler from PA
Convenient location.Posted Sep 5, 2016
Pros: The hotel is very close to our son's college so it is our first choice for lodging when we are in Philadelphia for school related activities.
Cons: The air conditioner was very erratic in our room & was not responding to the thermostat. Also the exhaust fan in the bathroom was extremely loud!
Location: The location, in University City, was ideal for our purposes.
This is the second time we stayed at the Sheraton since we were in Philadelphia to move our son out of his University housing. It is located within walking distance to his school which makes it ideal. Check in was quick & easy with convenient & affordable parking. Unfortunately we had issues with our bathroom exhaust fan & air conditioner but for one night we put up with them. Because of the perfect location, we would stay here again.

Kept hearing the subway train brakes from my roomPosted Aug 13, 2016
Pros: The staff they were so helpful and friendly, but they need a little bit more education on their building
Cons: Answer the question for the staff can you take the stairs between the 19th and 20th floor?
Location: Great location for student visits to Drexel and U of Penn. Lots of great restaurants within walking distance as well as shopping, Starbucks, etc.
The staff is really nice and friendly, the rooms were pleasant. But I did not like that I paid for the club lounge which was on another floor and if I did not have my room key out and ready I would miss the opportunity to put in the key, push the 20th floor button and ended up riding the elevator several times (along with other guests who had the same issue). So I asked everyone in the hotel if I could take the stairs between the 19th and the 20th floor and not get locked in the stairwell but no one seemed to be able to answer that question...so I kept on using the elevator...thus I instead of using the lounge to its fullest potential I ended up not using it and ordering room service for breakfast both mornings I was there. Also I had an adjoining room to some people who seemed to think they were the only ones staying at the hotel. so besides the brake sounds of the subway, their voices starting at 6 AM and going to midnight each day I found the rooms to not be sound proof enough. I have stayed at many Sheraton's and would not rate this as one of the best. But I have to say the staff overall was quite friendly and always greeted you with a smile. If you are visiting Drexel or U of Penn it is a good place to stay because everything is within a short walking distance.
