HTC Bringing Windows Phone 8 To Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile
Article Comments 3
Sep 19, 2012, 10:17 AM by Rich Brome
updated Sep 19, 2012, 10:48 AM
HTC today announced its first two phones for Microsoft's new Windows Phone 8 OS. HTC has exclusive use of the Windows Phone 8 brand for the actual phone model names. The flagship model will be called the "Windows Phone 8X by HTC", and the lower-end model, the "Windows Phone 8S by HTC". Microsoft and HTC will market the phones together as "signature" launch phones for Windows Phone 8. Both phones have a similar hardware design, that evokes the Windows Phone software with its bold colors against black and squared design.
- Windows Phone 8X sports 4G LTE (in the U.S. version,) a 1.5 GHz dual-core S4 processor, 4.3-inch 720p HD screen, NFC, 8-megapixel main camera with backside illumination, f/2.0 lens, and HTC ImageChip acceleration, plus a 2-megapixel front camera with wide-angle lens. The 8X also comes with Beats audio, including a unique 4-volt amplifier for better sound. The unibody design features a tapered Gorilla Glass front and a matte back, available in four main colors. The battery and 16GB of memory are embedded.
- Windows Phone 8S sports a 1 GHz dual-core S4 processor, 4-inch screen, 4GB of storage plus a microSD memory card slot, 5-megapixel camera with HTC ImageChip acceleration, Beats audio, and Gorilla Glass front. It will be available in four color combinations. An LTE version is not currently planned.

Entry from British & World English dictionary
Definition of temperance movement in English:
Temperance movements appeared in the early 19th century, spreading across Europe and the US from Northern Ireland and New England, and led by Christian groups, trade unionists, and advocates of women's suffrage. In the US a lengthy campaign by groups such as the Anti-Saloon League (founded 1893) led to Prohibition in 1920, while in the UK the Defence of the Realm Act (1916) limited the hours that public houses could open and excluded people under eighteen

Dell revenue lower than Street view
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Dell Inc's profit fell 47 percent, hurt by lower PC sales and weaker demand from large corporations, but the No. 3 personal computer maker said it expects revenue to grow as much as 5 percent in the current quarter.
Dell shares fell 2.3 percent to $9.36 in after-market trade from its close of $9.56. The shares initially rose following the release of the results.
Dell - once the world's top PC maker and a pioneer in computer supply chain management - is struggling to defend its market share against Asian rivals like Lenovo, and is in the midst of trying to bolster growth by focusing on products and services to corporations.
The company founded by Chief Executive Michael Dell warned that it "sees the challenging global macro-economic environment continuing in the fourth quarter."
Dell said revenue in its fiscal third quarter fell 11 percent to $13.7 billion, slightly lower than the average analyst estimate of $13.89 billion according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
It posted net income of $475 million or 27 cents a share in the fiscal third quarter, compared with $893 million or 49 cents a year earlier. Excluding certain items, it earned 39 cents a share, compared to an average forecast for 40 cents.
Dell Chief Financial Officer Brian Gladden said in an interview that the company's corporate customers continue to defer spending on technology.
"It's not clear what's going to cause them to increase their spending in the short term, given the uncertainty in the economy," he said.
Dell's enterprise solutions revenue rose 3 percent to $4.8 billion, while server and networking revenue climbed 11 percent. In contrast, consumer revenue plummeted 23 percent to $2.5 billion, underscoring the plight of the broader PC market, and sales to large corporation declined 8 percent to $4.2 billion in the quarter.

Have you seen the Federal Impact Aid Form?
The State of Colorado has a number of federal properties that are exempt from certain local and state taxes. D2 loses tax revenue because these properties are not taxed. We are allowed to recoup some of these tax dollars when we have children whose parents serve in the military or are employed on federal property. Returning this form to your child's school helps support all students and the quality instruction they receive. Our goal for the Impact aid form is 100%, so please fill out the information and return it back to your school as soon as possible, regardless of where you work or live (on government property or not).
Has visto el formulario de Ayuda de Impacto Federal?
El estado de Colorado tiene una serie de propiedades federales que están exentos de impuestos locales y estatales. D2 pierde ingresos fiscales porque estas propiedades no son sujetos al impuesto federal. Nos permite recuperar parte de esos dólares de impuestos cuando tenemos niños cuyos padres sirven en las fuerzas armadas o se emplean en propiedad federal. Devolver esta forma a la escuela de su hijo para apoyar a todos los estudiantes y la calidad de la instrucción que reciben. Nuestro objetivo para el formulario de ayuda de impacto es de 100%, por favor completa la información y devolver a la escuela tan pronto como sea posible, independientemente del lugar donde usted trabaja o vive (en la propiedad del gobierno o no).

Fox Meadow Organization System
All Fox Meadow students are required to carry a three-inch, white binder to every class. The binder will be organized in a similar fashion for all students. In order to ensure uniformity, the binder must be purchased in the front office at school. (The cost will be $3.00.) All other materials (loose-leaf paper, dividers, pencil pouch, writing implements, etc.) must be purchased according to the supply list which is available on our website or at the school. Families without funds to purchase materials can speak to a school counselor about obtaining the necessary materials. Having a school-wide organization system will provide a common way to organize notes, homework, and other school materials. It also helps ensure that students come to class everyday prepared for learning. Students who come to class without a binder could be subject to behavioral consequences. The binder system has proven to be an effective way to organize Fox Meadow students and increase student achievement. Please call the Fox Meadow office if you have any questions.
HSD2 schools will have later start and dismissal times for the 2014-2015 school year.
Please view the letter from Mr. Spencer for more information and specific times.

There are lots of these small boats that ferry hikers, campers and kayakers and their gear to various remote locations across the bay and pick people up at pre-arranged times and places.

When I was 14, I molested my sister. She was was almost four the first time and the second time was just after she turned four. The first time, I actually pulled her pants down and touched her bottom, but the second time was just me taking my time helping her in the restroom. Neither time did I ask her to touch me or even show her my penis.
I was recently recovering from a long amount of physical and emotional abuse from my father, and had previously been molested twice in my youth. I was also suffering from some fairly serious mental problems. I say this not to excuse my actions, but to provide more of an explanation of what was going on then.
As time went on and I have returned to a more normal mental state, I look back upon what I have done in horror and guilt. I don't really know what effects this may have had on my sister (she is still fairly young) but I don't really look back on my molestations negatively. I still feel guilty, though.
However, a larger emotion that I am now feeling is fear. What if she remembers? What if she does not? I certainly remember being that age, but I developed rather quickly. Her linguistic skills have always been behind. What if she remembers and eventually tells someone and my life is ruined? What if.... etc?
im sorry that wus meen
Im scared to death. I was molested when i was 13, and when i was 14 i molestedmy neice and nephew... Im 17 niw, and when i look back im horrified i wouldnt ever hurt them now, id die for them. I never meant any harm, i was just curious... i feel like killing myself now!! Ive heard that its common for children who have been molested to 'experiment' with other children...im going to kill myself. I love these kids, and i feel like a monster. Should i tell someone?!
I am a licensed mental health counselor. I suggest that you make an appointment to get into therapy as soon as you can. You owe it to yourself to talk with a professional about this and to sort it out. I assume that you are carrying some uncertainty, guilt, shame and other feelings about what happened with your sister. If you don't deal with feelings with a trained professional you risk being vulnerable emotionally in a number of ways. I wish you luck and I hope you take my advice.
Dear Can't say,
I am a licensed mental health counselor. I suggest that you make an appointment to get into therapy as soon as you can. You owe it to yourself to talk with a professional about this and to sort it out. I assume that you are carrying some uncertainty, guilt, shame and other feelings about what happened with other kids and about what happened to you. If you don't deal with feelings with a trained professional you risk being vulnerable emotionally in a number of ways and this is no way to live. This experience does not define you but you need a safe place to sort it out and not on a public chat. It's always best to face difficult things in one's life than to keep it a secret and run away from it because we can never run away from something like this. Suicide is a permenant solution to a temporary problem and would be a very poor attempt at solving this one. You can solve this by getting into therapy, talking it out, dealing with your feelings differently and taking responsibility for your actions. You can do it! I wish you luck and I hope you take my advice and get the professional support that you need to face this issue and heal.
Hi I'm 20 male about to be 21 and i know exactly how you feel. when i was 11 or 12 i molested my best friends little sister. Its been fucking me fucking my whole life I regret it everyday. And just like you I'm scared shes going to getting to around that age where she right remember and shes going to tell someone. i really would like to do the right thing and talks things out or what ever, because i truly do regret it but also if she doesn't remember and i say something then everyone will trip. I don't know what to do and everyday i live in fear shes going to tell her brother, my childhood best friend, who used to live with me, and hes going to kick my ass.
The tire printer which LAC Corporation in Japan developed is the machine of too poor quality. LAC Corporation sold this sidewall printer to the comapany in U.S.A., but this machine was goods of too poor. The printed tire's color was changed and became black from white in one week. You must never purchase this sidewall printer made in LAC Corporation. The salesman of LAC Corporation says only good things. In the global community, LAC Coporation in Japan is the maker which there must not be in the tire industry.
I to did the same thing and i feel alot of guilt, but i got my forgiveness from my sister, God, and Jesus. I was confused at the time, it's alright! We need to move along, more people than you know do this. Now that 2 years have passed since i did this (age of 15...17 now) i'm very protective of my sister around my father.

I've had no real memories of happiness, as far as I can recall. My first memory was of my mother dragging me in pyjamas, barefoot, across the city to show me the place where my father was having sex with his lover. I recall my mother telling e and my little sister to call dad to her new lover of the week after they divorced. I remember my mother teaching me to distrust everyone else but herself. I remember learning too well; I learned to distrust everybody, including my mother and my little sister.
I was bullied until I was 14. I would end crying mos of the time. My mother would ask me why I was crying, then she would hit me for not telling her why, and then again for not stop crying.
My father tried to choke us out of her by sending her a little money as possible. We had to move over twenty times because we were not able to pay the rent.
I eventually stopped crying for a while.
Still, my sister would try to find everything she could about me, so she could tell my mother, and gain a little recognition on her eyes. She was starving for affection, and if that included sacrificing her brother for it, so be it.
Eventually my mother married the first man stupid enough to fall for her. They had a child, ad he grew to become a psycho. He has tried to poison me twice.
I think I was almost happy when I had my first girlfriend. We were fourteen, and to her was the only one who would listen. To me, she was the only one who I could trust, and love. When I ound out she was bulimic, it became a hell for me, since I was afraid to lose her everyday.
I did as well.
I wonder how many people have had a painful life like yours, because so many people have existed in the past already. I think that most of their personal worries and pain is no longer remembered by anyone. Even something like WWII is already mostly remembered through entertainment: movies, books and games, rather than through the memories of those who suffered and are still able to tell us about it. Eventually the universe will end and everything will be forgotten, like it never even happened.
I hope you are able to forget now and still have some happy moments.
friend youre not alone i'm living something similar but i'm only 26
It is hard to "forget memories" (unless you become depersonalized) only learn to live with them and forgive those who harmed you
Op here.
It only gets worse. I'm fucked up.
You'll feel better if you share details, people here will read what you write
Actually, nothing improves. It would be futile.
Don't feel like that. Life is a gift. I'm depressed and then I think:
I have two legs. I can walk wherever I want to. I will walk.
My heart still beats, I hate it.
Start running. Run like hell. Run until you cannot run anymore. It'll numb the pain.
I was going to ask this question to the last poster in the Baby Human topic, but decided I should probably make atopic out of it.
Well, how do you survive? Live with your parents, work off the internet, live with other relatives, supported by girlfriend/friends, still go to school, still go to work, inheritage, participate in money farming?
Post your source of income here, along with your age, if you feel like it.
As for me: Age 21. I live with my parents, but most of my income comes from my community college (still trying to get through it). The rest comes from different things I've done online, like checks from those free Ipod sites and ads on sites I've ran.
Live alone, get money from parents. Theyre hate me, hehe
hikkimotri since 1999 only had 3 odd jobs no college leave with mom. my life is getting owrst by the day and n
my last rope.
If I asked you to improve your English, it'd be like someone asking me to buckle down and finish high school math. We're the same, you and me. I just have more pretensions.
I am a hiki with zero prospects and an intense disinterest in engaging reality. I need to make some money. I would try to scam people on kickstarter but I am also a coward! Suggestions welcome.
I am working as part-time prostitute :D
Do the people living in the Johnstown, New York. Know that Sean Kinnier hates Blacks and calls them "Niggers" and has a thing for raping Mexicans and calling them Spics and Beaners.
He sounds like a cool guy.
let me indulge in your problems, im here to listen and i want to help you guys out, unfortunately not directly, but with a project.
Working is for losers
History is my main hobby
All our welcome to the Sean Kinnier Nigger hating fan club
but you are on 4ch!
I would like to see CP
of course I know its wrong, and Im a satisfied with 12chan and onlyhotchan
But are there any other possible pedophiles here?
Most "Pedos" on the net are trolls
I would like if at least little girl nudity would be legal
We all have our "fantasies". But it's pure danger when someone carries out their fantasies. Fantasies are personal and not dangerous. But when you attempt to carry them out, it's pure criminal activity. I have no remorse for these pedophiles. I know you may be fucked up in the head, but soliciting sex from a minor and driving to the residence is a crime in and of itself, despite never engaging in illegal activity. These people see signs, but pursue. These are dangers. Lock them up.
This is why nobody has empathy for pedophiles
@ the person above me. locking up pedophiles won't do shit so hows about you shut up and stop making things worse. when you release a pedophile from prison he'll either stop molesting out of fear of getting jailed again or he'll keep on doing it because his desires were strong enough to where he didn't care what the consequences were to molestation.
the point i'm trying to get across is show some damn sympathy, these people need to seek help and rehabilitation, not jailtime, because that won't solve anything
my theory is that any pedo should be dealt with by any adult who has children because theyd kill you. im fucking disgusted to see this thread. any kind of child porn is wrong i dont care if thats what gets you off. my advice is kill yourself. go to your kitchen, get a knife and cut your wrists or take some pills you fucking dirty evil freaks. youd be doing parents and children a favour. they need to bring the death penalty in for dirty losers like you.
go die pedos xxx no ammount of excuses from you will change how i feel because your not right in the head :)
You make a comment about someone committing suicide and end it with a emoticon
You definitely sound like a mature person
all pedos WILL Die, ...someday >>6 just like they have for THOUSANDS of YEARS!
You do not know if your children will go off to college and fester an addiction for pedo, or beer, or herione, or mass murder, or gambling, or manipulation, or hacking, or yoga, or bible studies.
But these are YOUR kids, the ones you love, and respect, and protect. These are your kids, with their own mind and freedom of chioce.
Your off-spring will Die ...someday. It's normal.
gooby plz
You will end in prison dude
FBI is probably already working on you
I'm only into 2D kids, but I really like doing things that are illegal but carry little risk. Downloading gives me a rush, but soon the video or image finishes and I open it and the only thing I feel is disappointment. It's not like I find the content morally repugnant or anything, I'm in no position to criticize others for their fetishes, but I guess in the end I'm really just not into 3D.
I remember reading a study that suggested that viewing CP reduced the likelihood of a pedophile targeting an actual child, but I didn't save it and haven't been able to find it again.
I'm 22, I study mathematics. I used to skateboard and drink lots of alcohol in my 13-18s. My parents would always give me money and I would leave the house for 8-10 hours, skateboarding and drinking. I do not remember much from that age. I do remember myself being an exceptional kid earlier than that. Others would always tell me how smart and kind I am. I was also a brat sometimes, bragging about the expensive stuff that I would get from my parents (but I do remember that I did this without malice). I also remember myself having philosophical thoughts. A particular one was that I was wondering about infinite universes hiding inside the atoms. I remember having problems in school (being called hyperactive).
Later, in high school, things would get much worse, and most teachers would consider me the worst of the worst. I would often be a human shield for other students. When something in class went wrong and some student was blamed, if I judged that the teacher was incorrectly blaming him/her, I would do something even more stupid, so that the attention would drift to my case. This naturally caused me to have many enemies in the teachers' circle. My life would be wasted if I hadn't gotten a computer. I started learning programming on my own and I pretty much mastered it. I did this because I wanted to be a hacker. I had deep political convictions back then, and I wanted to push my own agenda by hacking important servers and putting up messages. I did not succeed, but I later lost interest in that. This interest in programming, however, saved me: I learned to study on my own, and when the time came, I managed to get into university and study maths. I was always very good at maths.
I am glad that you did not become a hacker. Prison is not really a nice place for smart guys. Find a job and make some friends.
You are getting PHD great!! But what is more important is getting proper good paying job! Good luck
I think your story is great, sorry you feel so lonely.
I also think getting a computer saved my life. A lot of my middle school and high school friends drank and did drugs, but early on I was never really tempted to join them because there were so many incredible things I could do with my computer. If I spent my time on the internet, I could make new friends, build websites and learn new things. It always seemed like a much better time investment.
I went through a brief period in high school where I did drugs. My main motivation was loneliness and curiosity. It didn't last long, but around that period I made lot of bad decisions and felt horrible about myself. I even contemplated suicide around that time.
Eventually, I realized I was just in a vicious cycle of bad behavior and knew I wanted to change. Once again, I went back to my computer and started to teach myself things. I learned how to be less shy. I joined some forums dedicated to self-improvement. I changed how I acted in school and started to make more friends IRL. Not long after, I started programming again and started my own business while still in school.
Thanks for sharing your story OP. I'll keep this thread open in a tab and check back periodically if you ever come back and want to chat.
I have no time to go into details, but yeah I am a guy with some college education from Putins Russia. That means i want to escape. Since my education is shit, I wont get a visa anywhere.... So I decided to buy some property in Latvia.
Yes I am Russian willing to move into that Nazi state because I can afford to buy property there.
I dont support Stalin and I kinda interested in Baltic States, but I am Russian that means they would hate me. I dont have a million to buy property in Germany so the only choice is Latvia. Estonia is out of question, because they would simply kill me because I am Russia. So... latvia... Can anyone tell me anything about Latvia? Is it possible for me to move there? It seems to be a nice country but I am Russian....
Fuck putin :(
cheeky breeky, stalker
I'm 21 years old.
I lost my virginity around 20 days ago.
I knew things would get steamy, but I didn't think I would go all the way.
More than me losing it, but more of who I lost it to- I never liked that guy that way, he was a Joker but he annoyed me.
I remember in one of our conversations, he once said 'You know how to take a man to heaven'. I just 'lol'd' it off but I thought in my head 'Well, I won't ever be taking you there'.
After that night, I wanted to to it again, I remember.
What the fuck brain, I thought.
I've been crying now and then, right from the bus trip back to this day.
What adds to the guilt was- I wanted it at that point. I wanted it...but didn't want it. I wanted it too much to have fought away. My mind tends to replay the events of that fateful night, and goes off on alternate endings 'If you had just left that room...'
'If you didn't go on that holiday trip and rotted in your Hostel room instead...'
Side note- There is a lad I like, we talked everyday since I knew him in September. Whom I -wanted- to lose it to.
Why do you care? You're in a feminist world, just go full whore and enjoy yourself while putting male virgins on /r9k/ down.
Most people seem to be disappointed with (or regretful of) their first time. I wouldn't worry about it. If anything you are more adequately prepared (physically and mentally) for when you have sex with someone you truly care about, e.g. the boy you like.
Just relax and don't get too hung up about it. Most people have multiple sex partners throughout their lives, so it's not like everyone stays with the person they lose their virginity to.
>>2 this.
Look, you don't have to care about this sort of thing. It's a lot worse to not have had any experience with sex, isn't it?
My first time was awful, and in fact, I've only ever been with my ex-girlfriend who I couldn't stand. My only experiences with sex have been completely negative. I find the whole thing kind of disgusting, in fact. But then, that's not how it should be. Life isn't a fairy tale and you won't fall in love with your first partner. I just have some severe emotional problems, so you shouldn't be like me. Just keep on going and find the person who's right for you.
I was pressured into sex my first time and though I felt very bad about giving my first experience to a selfish girl, that feeling did pass and since then I have had good lovemaking experiences. You will too, femanon, and that will help you heal your regret. You know why you feel bad about it and that's a healthy beginning to healing too.
Dat thought :D
The lad I like is a virgin naughty grin :D
Thank you for sharing thoughts and experiences everyone.
I'd like to think I'm slowly coming out of it.
But I'm in a phase where I think I feel better but suddenly, whatever happened comes back to me and I'm like 'Shit'.
By the way, the lad I liked; we are together now. I'm happy to have him by my side :)
Valuing virginity is a purely cultural phenomenon. It's completely arbitrary, and actually goes much against our human nature.
Ignore it all, and learn how to listen to your own body.
How such as this?

- Louis is on top!DrumrollzDined on 11/24/2014Wonderful staff and service paired with great ambiance and history, with (of course) delicious Italian food. Reasonable prices, free parking in the back lot. It all added up to a wonderful night for the 4 of us.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- TBTBDined on 11/24/2014Service was great and it is a nice place and a great location. Food was just ok.
- Just ok.ibikeighDined on 11/22/2014We were squeezed into a small table. Had to slide it away from the couple behind us which put us on a busy corner where the staff had a register. Food was ok but not a stand out. Wait person was not engaged, like she just wanted to get through her shift. We weren't hurried which was nice. Dessert was tasty. I might have expected a little more for my $100. All in all out was just ok.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Week night outGipperDined on 11/20/2014Overall this was a good restaurant for an evening out during the week. Excellent service and the food was very good. It was a little louder than we had anticipated but it was a good evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food outstandingMNmomDined on 11/16/2014The entrees all had an unusual flair, ie. rigatoni was in white sauce. The special, halibut, outstanding. Vodka Gimlets pretty watery.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Couldn't have been more funlunchVIPDined on 11/15/2014A group friends got together at Louis. It was a great spot; lots of food options for everyone with moderate prices. My friend had chicken under a brick, another orecchi, another the shrimp and spinach. Everyone raved about their food and the service could not have been better. Cheers to Louis. It's also fun to peruse the market and patisserie on the main floor--really a fun spot to visit; so different from anywhere else in the metro.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Before a ShowAshleyBDined on 11/15/2014We were very satisfied with Louis before the Motley Crue concert. We were pleased that our food was amazing and speedy to get to the concert in time. The fried Mozerella was amazing!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always a nice experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 11/14/2014Had a reservation here for a Friday night before a SPCO concert at the Ordway. I arrived at the time of the reservation and was sat immediately (my husband was running late). I've been to Louis for dinner once before (good experience) and happy hour on the patio a few times (also good experiences). The only reason I would give the ambiance 4/5 stars was that I was seated in probably the least comfortable section of the restaurant. Overall the ambiance is great. I had the Rigatoni Norcino which was rich and flavorful-- very nice. My husband had the Penne Al Arrabbiata which he enjoyed. Our server was great, and gave us the right amount of attention. Food came out FAST, which was great because my husband showed up late and we were heading to the concert, as previously mentioned. Very good experience overall.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Business DinnerPaulyDined on 11/11/2014Business Dinner with suppliers from Quebec and they commented on the feeling of comfort while at the bar having cocktails before dinner. During dinner the wait staff was very attentive and knowledgeable on the menu and the service was excellent. All three of us had veal and my guests from Quebec commented that it was some of the best veal they had eaten.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 11/10/2014Brought my wife here for her birthday and had a tremendous experience. Great atmosphere, excellent service and good food. Beer list was decent too. I'd happily return here again, and will!Special Features:
- A delightful dining experience.CiderDined on 11/8/2014We had a wonderful time with the food and service being above and beyond expected. I had the halibut and my friend the veal. Both were beautifully prepared and delicious. Our server was patient and a big help with choosing our wine. We will definitely return again and again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/2/2014Very expensive and the food was so so. I won't go back. Service was great and the view was nice. Also, very very noisy.Special Features:
- First timekat1Dined on 11/2/2014The food is outstanding and so is the service. The noise level in almost unbearable. I am not sure what can be done but for people trying to hold conversations- this is not the place. Too bad because otherwise it is perfect for Italian foodSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SurprisedSurprisedDined on 11/2/2014We were there before the James Taylor concert. The food service made us feel very rushed. We ordered an appetizer, and the salads came before we finished the appetizer, the entrées came before we had even started the salads, and the bill came before we finished the entrée so desert was problematical. My wife's buccatini was disappointing. The previous 5 times we have been there were much more enjoyable, concerts or not.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 11/2/2014I thoroughly enjoyed the dining experience at Louis. The food was great and the service was exceptional.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- mediocrehmmmmDined on 11/1/2014The food and service was average, decor did not match the ambiance, I would have expected a more relaxing environment given the visual mood. Overpriced and underwhelming.
- Excellent Food with Great ServiceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/30/2014I recently took 7 clients of mine to Louis for dinner. Every one of the meals were fabulous and the wine list had a pairing for every type of food you can imagine. Jake Cossetta and his family really do a great job and make you feel like family! We will be back again soon!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pretty settingdessieDined on 10/29/2014We enjoyed our evening at Louis and the food was good but not spectacular. Food was not expensive but the drinks were. They were good though. I didn't see a wine list so my Cabernet was $10, more than I like to spend on ordinary wine. It was too cold for the roof top patio but that would be a nice place to dine on a summer evening. I that case, the drinks wouldn't seem so costly!Special Features:
- 16th Anniversary DinnerAnniversaryDinnerDined on 10/28/2014The food and service were great. Larger portions, so we shared. They celebrated with us and provided a complimentary dessert. The delicatessen downstairs had some great desserts which we took home.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Before 4?McKinleyDined on 10/26/2014I made a reservation at 2 for a group of nine well in advance asking to near the windows. First of all we were not near the windows, even after I called personally to confirm the reservation. But that, in the scheme of things, is no big deal. What I was not aware of, and what I wish would have been listed in plain view on the portion of their website where you make reservations, was that they do not serve the full menu until 4- just a dinky little sandwich menu. Out of my group of nine, only about half of our plates were hits- the rest were misses. Had I known that there was this tiny menu, I would have reserves a table elsewhere. Our service was top notch, and the bakery and grocery on the bottom floor are pretty neat.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Phenomenal!JRose21Dined on 10/25/2014My husband and I just went here for dinner this past weekend for the first time, and had a fantastic dining experience! The service was great, and the food was outstanding! This is what I imagine authentic Italian food is! Everything we had from the appetizer to dessert was exceptionally good. After dinner (to walk off our full bellies) we had a nice stroll through the downstairs Cossetta's Deli/Market, which was the perfect way to end the night. We brought home even more goodies to try! We WILL be going back!Special Features:
- Great AmbianceBrewcrewrocksDined on 10/25/2014This was our first experience with Louis and will not be the last. We absolutely loved it - from the staff to the food to the ambiance. The acoustics in there did make it a wee bit difficult to communicate but it was more of an energtic vibe from the patrons so it was all good! Looking forward to dining here again the next time we are in St. Paul.Special Features:
- Never Disappointsnemas14Dined on 10/25/2014We've been to Louis no less than 6 times, we've never had a bad experience, food is always tasty and well prepared, service is solid, atmosphere is vibrant. Just another great experienceSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- DisappointmentbirthdaybluesDined on 10/24/2014I was really looking forward to trying the new place, being a a downtown Saint Paul homeowner. To my surprise the the food is very expensive for the lack in quality. Table of 5 and everyone's food was cold and undone. The pasta noodles were so under cooked we had crunch to them and the sauce was cold. The ambiance is bland and the room is very noisey. I was greatly disappointed in a long anticipation to go there. :-( I will not be back there unless the prices go down to match the lack in quality. The patio bar on the other hand, can't wait to try that, looks awesome....

We were given a table right next to the door goign outside. It was not eh ebst for conversation with a friend that I havent' seen in a very long time. I also thought the prices were high but considering I will only use the restaurant for special occasions, My guest ordered a shrimp dish as was VERY pleased. I ordered a chicken disha nd I thought the pepers would have been sated instead they were pickled and somehtign that I don't care for .Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Food was good, not great (carrot side dish not cooked enough, still crunchy and bruchetta lacked flavor). Nice that I could split between 2 pasta entrees to have the best of a red sauce and cream sauce dish.Special Features:
- Italian food! YESvisitingDined on 10/18/2014Great Italian dish find! The food is worth the fact other diners may want to be heard by all. Not the room but some at a table close to you. We know our next experience will be less noisy...the food was terrific.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

The Epic continues.....The Party's Over (***COMPLETED 3/19***)
Do you ever have the feeling that the anticipation of something is better than the event? Thats how I feel about this trip-report. Ive been thinking of how to start it for some time now, but the report in my head is bound to be so much better than the actual report. But, Ive found DISers to be particular forgiving, so I will plunge ahead!
Disney has been apart of my life as long as I can remember. My first movie at age 2 was The Lady and the Tramp. Thirty-five years later my mother still tells how I was inconsolable when it was over, screaming for the dogs to come back. I remember waiting in an enormous line to see The Fox and the Hound when it came out, similar lines for the rerelease of Pinnochio. This is so foreign to my kids, its laughable. I know many of you are contemporaries of mine and have probably had a similar conversation with your kids:
ME: When I was your age, we only got to see Disney stuff on TV on Sunday nights when Wide World of Disney came on after Mutual of Omahas Wild Kingdom.
DD8 or DD5:What about Disney Channel or Toon Disney?
ME: Well, we didnt have cable (insert look of disbelief on faces here) if we missed the show, we missed it.
DDs: Why didnt you tape it?
ME: We didnt have VCRs then (insert mouths gaping and eyes bugging)
DDs: Couldnt you rent the DVD?
I think you get the point, my kids have no conception of only being able watch a show when the networks dictated you would watch it. This is when I usually segue into the story of going to the video store when I was in high school to pick a movie to watch at my friend, Susans house, and having to make sure you were in the BetaMax sections. My how times have changed!
But, I digress .My first trip to Walt Disney World was in 1973 at the tender age of 4. It was a PR trip for my dad to convince my mom to move from Chicago to Florida. I remember snippets of that trip, eating at King Stephans (now CRT), seeing Space Mountain being built, riding in the skybuckets, being less than impressed with the Swiss Family Robinson treehouse, not being sure whether the animals on the Jungle Cruise were real or not, loving the Country Bears, buying extra tickets when we used up all the D and E tickets in our pack, etc. We did move to South Florida in 1974.
Being only 3 house from the Mouse, trips became at least a once or twice a year event. My parents divorced in 1976, so I had trips with both of them. Weve stayed at everything from the Save Inn to the Royal Plaza at DTD and everywhere in between. Sometime in the late 70s we stayed at the Treehouse Villas. I remember lots of stairs and a very deep bathtub. My grandmother saved a bag from that trip, I found it with our silhouettes in it after she passed away.
There were lots of day/school trips too. Here is my friend, Christy, on the AstroOrbiters. Notice the skybuckets in the background. I miss those!
Once camping in Ft. Wilderness with the gifted program while in Middle School, our leader on that trip was good friends with one of Disneys early executives and we were treated to a trip underground.
Here's what Prince Charming was up to in 1983. I'm on the right.
We took one of the Institute classes/tours. I did the photography option. They loaned us Polaroids and then showed us different ways to photograph the world. Here's the monorail reflected in the Universe of Energy building.
Day trips once a year sponsored by the high school, get on the bus at 6am, return at 1am. Then the much anticipated Grad Nite, senior year, leaving the school at 4pm and returning at 8am. Kids had to be appropriately dressed, collared shirts and ties for the boys, dresses or pantsuits for the girls. The headline band for my year was Wang Chung. Everybody have fun tonight! After a last precollege trip over the summer, I moved to Atlanta for college. Fell in love and discovered that my now-DH had NEVER been to Disney.
This one is from the summer of 1987, by the TTC. I'm wearing my GradNite shirt. I think that one actually disinigrated, I wore it so much.
It was such a foreign concept to me. Growing up in Florida, I assumed everyone knew how to swim and everyone had been to Disney at least once! This disturbing discovery about my DHs past was remedied over spring break in 1989. This is us in the parking lot applying sunscreen!
After college, we made a few more short trips but we had moved Iowa by then and driving was no longer an option, ruling out those quick weekend trips I had grown up with. But kids and a return to the South were in our future....

Hey Peep!
Love the "vintage" pictures and the trip down memory lane. I grew up in California at the other Disneyland. I have similar yellowing photos of fresh-faced, innocent ME and my friends and grad night memories and first date memories etc. ((sigh))
I really cant wait for more.
P.S. Your babies are adorable!

Great start, Ellester! I love knowing the Disney background story. You and DH are so cute as are all the early pics. I miss the Skybuckets, too!! I had forgotten about riding them on our 1972 trip. Sounds like you have loads of Disney experience. Can't wait til you bring us into the present. I want to hear all about your upcoming trip!

Oh my word I love your photos, I went for the first time aged 9 in 1982 (a long way from the UK) and remember those sky buckets. I even still remember the 15th year song (probably a different trip) 15 years we're having a party, Walt Disney world, the party's going on!!!!!! I think any way.
Well enough of my singing can't wait for the rest of your TR.

Thanks for the props all! I wish I could find some earlier photos. I have some somewhere, but we are part in boxes/part in storage while we bide our time in our rental house. We have old video of the first trip too, on Super8 that my mom had switched over to VHS. There are about 10 people on Main Street and the trees are 2 ft. tall! I hope to get the next installment up today.

Enter the children. Our oldest daughter was born in 1998 and I was anxious for her to be a Disney lover too. We moved to North Carolina in 1999, but money was tight. My father decided his grandbabies (my stepsister has a daughter 7 months younger than my dd) needed an introduction to the World. So a trip was planned for May 2000. We stayed at Shades of Green that trip, my stepsisters now ex-husband is retired USAF. My dd had just turned two and it was pure joy watching her take it all in. She loved the princesses, not so sure about the non-face characters at first. We had dinner at the Castle and after Anabelle met Cinderella (picture below) she came back to me and whispered "Cinnerella dance wif me?". I said she could get back in line and ask, which she did and I have the sweetest memory of my little girl twirling with Cindy in the castle. We didn't have our video camera, but I'll never forget it.
We had a wonderful three days introducing Anabelle to the World. We spent another quick trip, one day MK/one day Epcot that October while vacationing with my DHs parents in Orlando. Then more babies arrived. My stepsister had a little boy right after meeting us for that trip in October (he arrived via emergency C-section 8 days later, her doctor didnt want her to go but the call of the World was too great!) and we welcomed our Rebecca the next August. My father declared that once everyone was walking, wed go again. In the meantime, my mom found the last of the unused tickets from our earlier trips. When Disney switched from individual tickets for each attraction to passes, we had traded most of our single tickets in for one day passes. Those were long gone, but passes bought back in the day never expire (I know you can pay for no-expiry now). We had one day left on two of our passes from our May 2000 trip (we had forgotten them at home for our October 2000 trip). My mom had found a Magic Kingdom 2-day Passport from 1981 with one day left on it and a 5-day Worldpassport (MK and Epcot) from our 1989 trip with one day left on it.
The price on the back is $18. I think a junior was from 10-17. I was 12 when I first used it, 34 the next time! Pretty good return on investment I guess! The price on my mom's 5-day pass was $105, the special Magic Kingdom Club price.
We were already planning on going to the beach with my mom in May of 2003 to stay at the timeshare she inherited from my grandparents in Treasure Island. We decided to take a quick trip over to Orlando to hit IOA(I much prefer Disney, but DH and I love them coasters!) and the MK for one day each. We stayed one night at All Star Music. That was Rebeccas first taste of the world. She was only 18 months but again, it was pure joy watching her take it all in.
Anabelle, at the ripe old age of five was ready to ride all she could. It was a whirlwind fun time. My father kept true to his promise and we returned to the World with that half of the family on New Years Day 2004. Shades of Green was closed for refurbishment so we stayed at the Contemporary with the overflow rate.
It was our first time at a deluxe and it was wonderful, although I hadnt seen the parks that crowded in years. I was five months pregnant with our son, so I had to sit most of the rides out but I enjoyed the non-comando pace. We enjoyed seeing all the Christmas decorations and I acheived my one goal, seeing the Country Bears Christmas show. It was another quick trip, three nights this time. DH and I often talked of how wed love to go to Disney for a full week. Thats something I had never done in all my trips. I dreamed of one day owning DVC, but knew that it just wasnt in the budget anytime soon. But, you just never know what the future holds....

You and I were on almost the same Disney time-line, so I'm loooving the walk down memory lane! I remember hearing about Grad Nights when I first moved to FL 15 years ago. Do they still do those?

In March of 2006 my mom mentioned that she had gotten a brochure on DVC in her Disney stock statement (an advisor steered her right many years ago) and asked me to look into it. Little did she know I was already an expert thanks to the DIS. I honestly tried to give her an objective opinion. DH wisely steered clear of the whole thing. My mom eventually decided to buy 200 points at Saratoga Springs and use them as our defacto gifts for holidays and birthdays. We own the points jointly with her, but for now she pays all the fees. I am an only child and my mother has never remarried, so I am on many of her accounts to make it easier when she gets older and I may need access to take care of her expenses (and to make it easier when she passes away, although Im hoping thats MANY years away). We were in the process of deciding when to first use these points when my DH was quite unexpectedly laid off last April. While he was laid off, we had decided to schedule a trip for just the five of us taking advantage of free dining in September knowing that we would cancel if he didnt have a job by the 45 day mark. He didnt and I waited until the last day, but I did cancel and got our deposit back. At that point we figured wed go ahead and plan a January 2007 trip with my mom. That was fine with her and we booked at SSR for 8 nights in January. After a rather painful search, DH accepted a job in Columbus, Georgia and we moved in September. The ADRs are set, the Pirate Cruise booked , the tickets purchase, the dining plan reserved. All this has been done without the kids knowledge. We decided to make the trip the kids Christmas surprise. They think the big box is a TV or game system, it actually holds four more wrapped boxes. The first one says Guess on the top, the next box says Where, the next Youre, the final box says Going and contains the personalized autograph books I made and a Disney brochure I picked up at the Disney Store. I just hope theyre not disappointed it isnt a TV or PS3! Next Monday will be the big reveal ..
Merry Christmas everyone!

YAY!!!! They'll be thrilled!
A vacation is actually a GREAT gift idea for kids. My kids could not tell you really what they got for Christmas last year, but they can recall even better than me all the little details of our Sept. '06 and '05 vacations!
I hear SSR is just gorgeous! And the Pirate Cruise will really impress that little blonde guy of yours!

What a great pre-trip report! I love the 70s photos and the memorabelia!
We're going the week after you with my Mom. My husband is the only one who has been before and he hasn't been since the 80s, so it will be a trip down memory lane for him as well.
Thanks for sharing, can't wait the read the rest!

Chevron Tries A New PR Trick: Free Pizza to Neighbors of Exploded Gas Well
Chevron Tries A New PR Trick: Free Pizza to Neighbors of Exploded Gas Well
Chevron is known for responding aggresively to anyone who tries to hold the company accountable. The creativity the company applies to evading responsibility for its messes is arguably unparalleled.
Even still, Chevron's latest PR move, after one of its natural gas pipelines exploded and burned for five days in southwestern Pennsylvania, is probably the first time free pizza was involved.
When the city of Richmond, CA sued Chevron for damages related to an explosion at one of the company's refineries in 2012, a Chevron spokesman responded by attacking the city's "failed leadership."
When 30,000 Indigenous and rural Ecuadoreans won a $9bn judgement against Chevron in compensation for the decades-worth of oil pollution the company left in their Amazonian home, Chevron pulled every dirty legal trick in the book, including filing racketeering charges against the plaintiffs, to delay justice.
So what did the residents of Bobtown, PA get if they were concerned about the massive column of flame and toxic fallout from Chevron's natural gas pipeline explosion? Aside from a pretty standard apology letter, they got a coupon for a free pizza ("special combo only," per the coupon itself, so don't even think about getting extra toppings you moochers) and two-liter soft drink.
Philly.com calls it: "The Chevron Guarantee: Our well won't explode…or your pizza is free!"
It's probably best if I just let the late-night comedians take it from here…

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A survey of business leaders around the state has identified ways Tennessee's public schools could be improved to create more work-ready high school graduates.
The study recommends emphasis on four areas:
-- Basic mathematics.
-- Project-based instruction and teamwork.
-- Verbal communication.
-- Professional skills.
The 80-page report is by the Tennessee Diploma Project, a partner of the American Diploma Project, a 30-state effort to raise public education standards.
The report was sponsored by the Tennessee Business Roundtable and the Hyde Family Foundation.
It was culled from roundtable discussions between Governor Bredesen and 135 business leaders at meetings around the state. An additional 346 executives, managers and human resources officials completed surveys rating key job skills.
