BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA -- This company is engaged in unethical practices as they lied and kept sending invoices yet failed to ever send any notices or email or phone messages that there was an auction. The company improperly raised the storage fees and my father who was a disabled veteran had many of his possessions there for over 20 years. He was in the hospital and passed away. The company called to workout something on Tuesday November 15, 2016 and when we replied they never responded.
They send an email on Wednesday morning November 16, 2016 stating that there was an upcoming auction but failed to provide any date, time, etc. Then an hour later their customer service email that the auction had already taken place. This company owes us $1,000's of dollars as the items sold have high value along with many personal items. The company is full of thieves that take advantage of disabled army veterans on their death beds at the VA.
SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA -- First I want to explain that I do not rent from Public Storage, I have never rented from Public Storage, and I do not have any rental agreement with Public Storage. I AM NOT THEIR CUSTOMER! Somehow Public Storage made an unauthorized ACH withdrawal for $216 from my checking account in May 2016. I did NOT WRITE A CHECK FOR $216 to Public Storage. I filed a fraud report with my bank and they are investigating. So far they tell me that Public Storage had my bank account number and the bank's routing number, and using these numbers Public Storage was able to do a fraudulent withdrawal.
My phone calls and emails to Public Storage customer support have elicited no help at all in this matter. I looked in my files, which I have kept for over 15 years, and found that eleven years ago I sent a check to Public Storage to pay a bill ONE TIME for an acquaintance who had a Public Storage rental unit and a contract with them. (Acquaintance was low on funds, I paid for him) I did not have a rental unit or any contract with Public Storage; I never did, and never will.
It is important to note that eleven years ago my check went to Public Storage directly, not to the person with the rental unit, therefore only Public Storage had my checking account number and routing number. Public Storage kept a copy of my check for ELEVEN (11) years, then in May 2016 used my account number from my old check to withdraw $216 from my checking account. I do not rent from Public Storage, I never have, I have no contract or agreement with them, I do not owe them any money, yet they took $216 from me.
Public Storage should give me an immediate refund, and fire the manager-accountant who performed this fraudulent ACH withdrawal. So far I filed a fraud report with my bank, a police report, and complaints with the Federal Trade Commission and the Consumer Protection Division of the State Attorney General's Office. Still awaiting a resolution.
DENVER, COLORADO -- I have been a customer with Public Storage (Belleview in Denver) since 2003 (11 years!!!). But, over the last few years, I have been noticing increases in monthly rent without prior notice. Just this past year, December 2013, I received a call from the manager telling me that our things would be auctioned off. I was confused because we pay our monthly bills using the automatic autopay on publicstorage.com, so I called him and he ignored me and even hung up. I called back and was directed to the voicemail box. So, I had to resort to threats. I told him that if our things are auctioned, I will contact a lawyer to sue them.
A few months later, our storage was broken into. Because we paid extra for insurance, they told us that they would do an investigation, but a year later and we have not heard back about that "investigation". Our tires were slashed multiples times here. Recently, the manager called me and told us that our payment was late. So, I did a manual pay online. The next day, we were locked out of our storage and the manager made my dad pay $220 in cash to enter and did not even give him a receipt ( my dad does not speak English).
My dad called me, so I called the manager and told him that we have already paid and even gave him the confirmation number. He ignored this and refused to return the money. I went onto my online account and there were documents online that my dad has paid the $220 in cash. The manager once again hung up on me and was very rude. We have thought about moving storage on multiple occasion, but this location is the most convenient. However, it is not worth the trouble and I will be moving out soon. It is unethical business practice and the people are RUDE when it comes to customer service.
GAMBRILLS, MARYLAND -- The facility located in Gambrills, MD 21054 is falling apart. I had 3 - 10 x 35 units since July of 1993 under the ownership of Shurgard. Public Storage "PS" took over the facility over 10 years ago. The local on-site management is great and friendly. Since the purchase by P.S. they have NOT maintained the structure as needed.
It needs the following: New roofs. New ceilings - coming apart because the ceiling is leaking. Bat & other types of infestation - several units completely unusable. Installation of bathroom for employees - in the past they went across the street to Wendy's, in the spring of 2014 the brought in a Porto-Potty; it's always dirty, hot & smelly. Great way to treat employees. Security - 138 inner units were broken into in the fall of 2013. Solution as of late
Spring - 4 outside cameras facing away doors and toward cars only. Resolution is extremely poor. They need at least 6 more cameras.
Claim of climate control; this infers that either the interior has heating or air conditioning. It has neither, nor are they insulated. Public Storage removed all gutters & downspouts. Water falls and splashes onto and in the space if the door is not completely shut. Snow removal is almost non-existent. Leaf removal is non-existent.
Inconsistent rate increases; I was paying $359 for 1 (10 x 35) and $332 each (total 664) for the other two which were connected without a dividing wall (20 x 35). The new rates went up 9.5% on the single unit and 20.5% on the double wide. All of the 10 x 35s were increased by 20.5%. Called customer service and they stated that it was an "Executive Office Decision" and to call my local District Manager - ** (he's totally useless). After repeated unanswered calls to the DM I reviewed my being there. Best decision for us was to move our business & personal goods to Storage Mart across the street. Every 10 x 35 renter has moved out (except one).
In order to entice people to come back, they are renting the units for $261 as of 08-28-2014. This is a drop of 27+% from the original rates and 33% decrease from their inflated rate increase on the single unit. On the double unit it is a decrease of 20+% on the original rate and 33% reduction on their inflated increase. In addition the smaller units are renting for less as well. The rates are lower than they were in 2013 due to poor quality and increased competition.
Public Storage has many customer and employee complaints against them. After speaking with ex-employees in North Carolina it appears that how they treat their employees and manage their properties is the norm rather than the exception. I can use 3 words to express the overall facility located in Gambrills MD - IT's a DUMP! Beware and rent elsewhere.
TINTON FALLS, NEW JERSEY -- The reason I am writing you is to relate a recent incident involving Public Storage in Shrewsbury. I have been helping my friend, a single woman, who has stored her household items there between moves. After helping her move into the facility, we noticed that the ceiling in the unit seemed to have sustained water damage. We reported this to a rather uncaring maintenance person who was the only one available at the time.
Several days later, the ceiling collapsed on my friend's household items causing some damage and getting her understandably upset. She hired a moving company to remove her things (at great expense with new storage) and I offered to meet the movers at Public Storage to see if I could work something out. The somewhat hostile regional manager (Jeff)who happened to be there informed me that they were not responsible. I asked him if he had another unit so we would not have to incur the cost of moving to a new expensive storage facility.
He showed me a unit right next to the damaged one that had the same ceiling issue and already had water on the floor. When this was pointed out to him, he shrugged and walked away. When I said I was going to call corporate he informed me that I could do so but the complaint would come right back to him. How convenient.
My friend spent $1000 to move to a new (and much sturdier) facility and has incurred more monthly rental fees at the more expensive facility as well. I finally got a hold of a VP at Public (Jim ) and he informed us that he would refund the money for the 5 months of storage rental fees (we only used a few weeks during which the collapse occurred) but would not do anything about the moving fees or increased rent at the new facility. Very disappointing. Horrible facility and really bad customer service.
CALIFORNIA -- Do not rent from these folks. I rented from them for years and they keep raising rent. I got into a fight with corporate greedy people. Do not get sick nor end up in hospital. They want your stuff to auction off and late fees every kind fees, even a fee to pay the bill on telephone. They raise rent in cold months so you're stuck in the cold. From 218$ to 280$, the corp. people suck. They don't care and doesn't return calls. Stay away. You will be sorry with this company.
Horrible people, worse than the people in Bombay. Greedy money hungry people. Ruthless corporate greed. Hope they go bankrupt. Hope the economy tanks and nobody rents with these rude people. Long term customer. Just find any place to rent but Public Storage Rental. You may really be sorry. I'm giving my stuff away to not give nothing to Public Storage. Greedy money hungry rude people. What we experienced, stay away! You have been warned... Thanks!
PINEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA -- I previously posted a review under the same title on 9/06/14. I was able to get in contact with the district manage by going to his boss. He called me right away and promised to take care of the problem. My credit card would be credited with the $71 overcharge. That was done but then was re-charged. Huh? It turns out Public Storage paid my next month's payment (the $71) in advance.
When it came time for the auto charge the early payment was applied and I have a $3 credit towards the next month's bill. So, bottom line, it was fixed the way I was told but the problem was fixed. That is what matters. And my stuff wasn't auctioned off as threatened. I have to give Public Storage credit for (eventually) fixing the problem. Better late than never.
CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA -- The actual storage facility is good and the staff are helpful and courteous. But pray that you don't have any problems with your account. I was overcharged $10 on one month's rent. It took me 3 months and many calls before I was finally able to get a refund from the district manager. It was a $10 credit to my account. But with auto pay it was never applied to my bill. I cancelled autopay for one month and sent in a reduced amount hoping the $10 would be applied. Not. Then started the threats to pay my account in full or have my contents auctioned.
Customer service was able to apply the $10 and have the overdue warnings removed. But I still received a letter saying my balance was $0.00 and my contents would be auctioned off. Customer service again had that removed and assured me everything was ok. Then the next month, on autopay, I was charged an extra $71 which included a lien fee and a late charge.
The only way I can get a refund is to contact the district manager. The same guy that took me 3 months to finally get a response from for the previous refund. The first refund is what started this whole mess. If I had known this would have happened I would have forgotten about it. The administrative side of this operation is a nightmare.
SOUTHAVEN, MISSISSIPPI -- I am SO disgusted with Public Storage... ever since they have taken over from SHURGARD it has been a hassle. I have 2 large (garage size) climate controlled units since they opened that location in 1998. After they took over, they raise the monthly rent once or twice a year. They are nothing like SHURGARD, who was fabulous. When I complain, they will take a few dollars off one unit??? I have asked them to help me find a unit in the same hall, so that I can get my 2 units condensed down to one. They never have in over 8 years.(even though I was promised this courtesy more than once). I am on a fixed income & now have serious health problems.
The last two years when they've had increases, I have begged them for a break, they do not care, basically they told me I could move out to another place, knowing that this is nearly impossible. They just hope they can keep all the contents & auction off if I don't pay. There is absolutely NO reason for these constant substantial increases! I've gone over there & the temperature was way above climate control (that damages stored items!).
There was also a nest of dead baby mice & rat poop everywhere, also some chewed, damaged items in my storage unit! I just got yet another $20 rate increase & I'm sick of this. In 16 years, I've never missed a payment on TWO units & I'm usually a week or two early with my payment! It's unfair & ridiculous NOT to reward customers like me!! Someone needs to put this greedy corporation out of business. I despise them & their practices & attitude.
I would like to give a word of warning to any that are considering renting storage space from Public Storage. As a company, they will probably try to draw you in to renting with them using some offer that seems pretty reasonable at the start. Then, every 6 months to a year down the line, they'll bump up the rate, citing market rate as the reason. I will note that their idea of market rate is not based on the competition in the area, but on what they feel like they can get away with charging.
Public Storage claims to give 30 days written notice of increases of the charge and any fees, but I have only ever received notification by email very shortly before that increased charge was due. On top of this, if you do not pay the increased amount by the 6th of the month, they will lock you out of the area where your items are stored until you are up to current, including any increases to charges or late fees that they have made in this manner. In short, you have lost access to any of your items past this point unless you pay their increased charges.
I first started storing items in a 10' x 15' unit with Public Storage in February 2009, with an initial rate of $96.90 from their advertising. What their advertising did not mention is that the $96.90 was listed in their system as a discounted rate, but with a higher rate already in their system.
Since this time, I have had my rates increased progressively over the years I've been with them to a current rate of $161.00 per month, and a late fee that increased from the one listed in the contract of $20.40 to the current late fee of $32.20. The only notification of increases I've ever received from them on the increases to rental rate have been by email, and no notifications of an increase to the late fees until they've come up.
It is possible that this lack of notifications is because of some break in their system. Perhaps there is a flaw that doesn't update the mail address for notifications, even if you update it in their system. If so, this is still a problem. I've called a few times on their corporate line just to make sure my information was current. It is, but this has made no difference in receiving any sort of notifications.
To give you a better idea of just how much of an increase this is, I have had my rates on the rental go up by over 66 percent since 2009. This is 66 percent increase over 5 years. The late fees have apparently also increased since 2009, though in this case, the increase is a little over 58 percent. All told, I'm paying two thirds more than when I started this thing, all because Public Storage felt they could get away with charging it.
When I checked other companies in the same area, the rate for the same size storage unit is currently between about $90.00 to $130.00. None of them came close to what Public Storage claims is market rate. Public Storage claims that market rate is somewhere around $178.00 in that area, even though they list a lower rate for new customers.
Public Storage figures they can increase the rate each year, as they figure most people will just pay the extra rather than dealing with the hassle of moving their stuff back out. And for those that can't pay the increases, well, Public Storage has some hefty lien handling and sale fees that they add on as well, taking those and the additional rent and late fees they'll also charge on the items that can't be recovered until they get paid. Those fees come out of the proceeds they get by selling whatever is in that storage unit.
If for some reason the sale doesn't make their total of fees, Public Storage will still charge you the additional amounts, too. What this means: If you are late in paying, and you are unable to catch back up, YOU WILL LOSE YOUR ITEMS, and you will be charged more for the privilege of letting them sell off the contents of your storage unit for them to collect on those inflated fees.
Short form of this, stay well away from Public Storage. They are a greedy company out to gouge you for as much money as they feel they can get out of you, with a particular Target painted on long term customers. If you've been with Public Storage for years, they figure you will pay whatever they insist is the rate rather than moving. If you must use a storage place, do not use Public Storage. Stay far clear of this company for your own good. Tell your friends to stay away. Tell companies to stay away. Share this message on social media, in your email lists, on your corporate newsletter.
Let Public Storage know that they can not treat customers like this in the only way that they will listen to, by reducing their profits. Take away their paycheck, because they certainly haven't earned it. Don't rent with them. If you are already renting with them, find a way to stop using storage, or go to another storage company. It will be worth it. Stay with them, and you'll find yourself wondering why you didn't listen.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|what grit are you sanding the primer with? Also how long did you let it flash, and how many coats of base did you put on and what was it's flash time?
What may be happening is...... you're putting the top coat on too soon. You should let the epoxy set for at least an hour before top coating. The top of the epoxy is air drying, the middle of the epoxy is not curing. So when the paint chips, the top surface of the air dried epoxy is sticking to the top coat, and the bottom part of the epoxy is sticking to the metal.
The first coat of epoxy is not sticking to the second coat of epoxy.
The mils seem awful perfect to me and I do realize the same paint sold overseas may be a different formula then sold in USA.
Only best half guess I can come up with is either you are applying the Deltron to soon over the fresh epoxy (best choice)
Or you are miss-activating the epoxy (even so, unlikely to cause this problem)
Other isolated things that could cause problems like this.
Dried acid film under epoxy.
Cheap wax and grease remover used before epoxy.
Wax and grease remover used and not dry before applying epoxy.
Epoxy applied over metal treatments.
Epoxy applied over rust converters or encapsulates.
If none apply, with what little info we have here I still think paint applied to epoxy to soon.
Primer problem
Im not a hotrodder but seem to come across this forum a lot so id thought id ask here for some advice.
Im having some problem with the paint chipping off, im using PPG DP40 primer and PPG Deltron for the top coat.
The primer seems to be splitting apart as the paint chips have the primer colour on the under side of them and the metal still has a layer of primer on it, I have been spraying some test bits of metal until I get this problem sorted as its a pain in the backside to sandblast down parts because the paint wont stick.
The total thickness of the paint is about 4mill (0.1mm) measured with a micrometer, I spray on 1-2 layers of primer, 15 or so min later when the primer has gone hard to the touch I spray on 1-2 coats of deltron, the temperature has been pretty cold outside lately but have been warming the parts up with a heater before and after painting to try and sort this problem out but I see no difference with the heater.
Could I be spraying the primer on a little thick?
See picture, paint has been scratched off with a flat head screw driver and plastic pen.

The Microsoft Malware Protection Center (MMPC) is committed to helping Microsoft customers keep their computers secure. By continuously gathering and analyzing data, and by working with organizations inside and outside Microsoft, the MMPC stays agile to combat evolving threats. Our mission is to help protect customers and computers, quickly respond to malware outbreaks, advise customers, and engage in valuable partnerships.
Microsoft antimalware products and services help protect more than 600 million computers worldwide on a monthly basis. The MMPC team works closely with product teams at Microsoft to help ensure that products have the latest antimalware definitions and can provide accurate and actionable telemetry—data that can be used for further research.
The scanning tool that all these technologies use—the Microsoft antimalware engine—loads definition files that contain detection signatures for thousands of different families of malware and unwanted software. These detection signatures are key aspects of security updates. They are continually updated in response to new research and telemetry.
Telemetry data generated by Microsoft security products includes information about the general geographical location of the computers (not exact locations or personal information). This data enables the MMPC to compare infection rates, patterns, and trends in various locations around the world.
By receiving telemetry from millions of computers, and operating a global network of research and response labs, the MMPC can identify and mitigate new threats within hours of their discovery. By using advanced research and heuristics, and by continuously monitoring for malicious behaviors, the MMPC also provides proactive detection for new threats—before we even receive our first sample. Labs in Redmond (Washington, United States), Munich (Germany), Vancouver (Canada), and Melbourne (Australia)—with the help of additional researchers in other locations around the world—ensure that a response team is always online.
The MMPC uses multiple channels to distribute malware research and security information to the public:
The MMPC engages widely within the antimalware industry. It collaborates with security researchers, partners, competitors, and independent software vendors (ISVs) worldwide. It also works with law enforcement organizations that seek to apprehend attackers.

Posted by Stephanie Balaouras on September 30, 2011
According to our survey data dating back to 2008, despite year after year of high profile security breaches from Heartland Payment Systems to Wikileaks to Sony, security budgets have only increased by single digits. This is hardly enough to keep up with the increasing sophistication of attacks, the avalanche of breach notification laws and the changing business and IT environment.
The changing business and IT environment is perhaps the greatest concern. With a massive explosion of mobile devices and other endpoint form factors and an ever expanding ecosystem of customers, partners, clouds, service providers and supply chains, you increasingly have less and less direct control over your data, your applications and end-user identities. We refer to this expanding ecosystem as the "extended enterprise." An extended enterprise is one for which, a business function is rarely, if ever, a self-contained workflow within the infrastructure boundaries of the company. We believe that the extended enterprise is such a major shift for CISOs and security professionals that we dedicated our upcoming Security Forum to it as well as a significant stream of research.

On a day in which the senior class was honored, the Canisius College women's soccer team got a big boost from the its 2013 class.
Senior midfielder Katie Griffin netted two goals in the Griffs' 4-3 victory over Saint Peter's (2-13-0, 0-10-0 MAAC).
Griffin got the scoring underway 40 seconds into the game off a corner kick from senior midfielder Kelly McMahon. McMahon fired a ball into the box that Griffin headed into the back of the net.
McMahon started a successful set piece just 26 minutes later to give the Griffs a 2-0 lead. On their fifth corner kick of the game, McMahon sent one to the near post that was headed by sophomore forward Brittany Krause past a pair of Peacocks' defenders and into the net.
Krause netted another goal in the 70th minute. Senior forward Brianna Smith played a ball up the left side of the field to Krause, who found the back of the net from 18 yards out.
Griffin then scored her second goal in the 81st minute to give Canisius a 4-0 lead. Krause sent the ball deep into the left side of the box and Griffin managed to find the back of the net for the second time. Krause's five points on the day is good for a single game career-high.
Despite the four-goal difference, the Peacocks managed to tighten things up late by scoring three goals in 6:15 to cut the final deficit to one. Greta Vogel got Saint Peter's on the board in the 83rd minute, when she took a shot from 20-yards out and beat Griffs' senior goalkeeper Megan Tock top-shelf. Kaitlyn Lima recorded the assist on the play.
Vogel from Lima would strike again 1:22 later, this time Lima sent a cross into the far post and Vogel managed to get her head on it and beat Tock to the right.
The Peacocks pulled within one when Shannon Nutley managed to score after a sustained scrum in front of the net. Tock knocked the ball away from the net twice, but the Griffs couldn't get the ball out from the front of the net and Nutley managed to capitalize making the game's final score 4-3 in the final minute.
With the win, the Griffs moved to 3-7-0 in MAAC play.
Canisius received some help from Siena as well. With the Saints victory over Manhattan, the Griffs locked up the 9-seed for the MAAC Championship. Pending this afternoon's results, the Griffs will square off with either Niagara or Quinnipiac on Thursday during the tournament's first round in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. That game is scheduled for 2:30 p.m.
GAME NOTES: The four goals is the most Canisius has scored since Sept. 16, 2011, when they scored four against St. Bonaventure. The Griffs haven't scored more than four goals since a 6-0 win over Saint Peter's on Oct. 31, 2010… Canisius has now won 15 straight contests against Saint Peter's dating back to the 1998 season… Krause's five points are the most points in a single game since Brianna Smith's six points against Oct. 12, 2012 against Saint Peter's.

If you want a better way to accurately split wooters into categories, you should use total spend as your metric.
That's the way the rest of the world does it, unfortunately.
Just saying, if you've never been lucky enough to get a Boggy Old Creature nor a sucker enough to buy 3 items worth 1 cent each, you may have helped woot out more by buying a $1,000 TV (more than I have, I'd bet).
It seems I'm at 35 regular woots, 29 shirt wotots, and 16 sellout woots. I'm only 20 away from regaining my black square.
Should come quickly....
174 woots not counting the other sites... I heart my black box and yes, I'M BETTER THAN YOU
ok, I counted. 19 shirts and 16 sellouts.
wow. Thought I'd be squarely in the green, but it turns out I'll be in the purple.
(not counting multiples)
21 Woots
28 Shirts
2 Sellouts
1 Wine
0 Kids (so far, but my guess this will grow fast)
52 total
Nooooo! Aw man...
When do we get Woot Achievements?
Well I'll still be the same color, roughly, so no disappointment here :D
what color is your qube-a-chute?

I just wish I could be blue again.
I had just earned the coveted "stop impulse buying random scaffolding you moron" black qube too ... It appears I'll have to make 75 more extremely suspect decisions at 1am est now. Let's start with charger and batteries for a system I barely play.

At my current pace I should be able to re-acquire my black qube by the end of the year...assuming there are woots worth wooting at any of the woots within Woot!

Yep. Like I tell friends and family, I order stuff online rather than walk into the warehouse because it's cheaper than interrupting staff to help me. (although really it's just more fun to be a customer) 100+ wooter here (looked like ~150-ish)
By the way for those checking - the new system hasn't dropped in yet - that's sometime later this week.
Edit - actually I should have checked - it either launched since then or was launched when I typed the above.
Alas, I'm stuck in the vast desert that is the brown square...
31 Woots to go in order to keep being better than everyone else. But some royal purple won't be so bad in the interim.
I protest! Your color-coding scheme is nothing but discrimination, pure and simple!
Color-coding is an affront to each and every Colorblind American and Colorblinds of all nationalities! It's just another attempt by the unthinking, unfeeling colorsighted majority trying to keep the colorblind man down!

And now I'm replying to my own post because I just looked at it and you know what? I can't tell what *%$!ing color my own little square is! So &^%$ you, Woot! $%^* you all to hell! I'm never coming back here again! Well, unless of course you have something I really need, or like, or want, that I can afford.
Whatever happened to the ROYGBIV color scale? I can't believe I remember that... 8th grade science was a looooooooong time ago...
yikes, I'm purple. I hope my wife doesn't find out!
I'm still elite. How sad is this?
I still think it would have been cool to break out the woots to their own color cube as a four square. So if you had 25+ on each woot, the square would be totally black.
Especially since we now have 4 woots to follow ..... woot, wine.woot, shirt.woot, & sellout.woot ..... scaffolding, now we have kids.woot? dagnabit!
Nevermind .....
what color am I?
4 more 'til purple. that'll prob change tonight.
I'm on the cusp. One more purchase and my qube will change.
My quality posts > my woots :P
Just six more until I can get into pretty purple and out of grotty green.
Sorry. Never mind.
I miss my blue qube.

Class Action Suit Airs Intel and Microsoft's Vista Dirty Laundry

The little sticker that is causing a world of trouble for Microsoft and Intel.
(Source: DailyTech)
Microsoft executive -- "We set ourselves up"
One of the most iconic images of Microsoft's Windows Vista launch in January 2007 was the small "Windows Vista Capable" stickers on computers months before, reassuring customers that when the new operating system came out, their computers could be updated to the latest and greatest. Unfortunately for the consumer it appears that the capabilities that these stickers promised were intentionally exaggerated to benefit Microsoft and chipmaker Intel.
A class action suit filed against Microsoft in April 2007
accused Microsoft of intentionally misleading
consumers with the stickers, claiming the "Vista Capable" logos on computers that were anything but. The suit centered around several key points, among which was that the computers sold could not run Windows Vista's more impressive features such as the Aero user interface, and were left with only a bare-bones skeleton of Vista. The suit
forced Microsoft to redefine
its definition of what exactly "Vista Capable" meant, which included Microsoft's addition of a disclaimer that some of the PCs bearing the sticker could not run significant Vista features such as Aero.
Meanwhile, the legal case proceeded forward. Armed with internal emails obtained from Microsoft, the plaintiffs,
represented by high-power attorney Jeffrey Tilden of Gordon Tilden Thomas & Cordell,
took their case before a U.S. District Judge in order to gain class action status
. In a significant victory for the plaintiffs
U.S. District Judge Marsha Pechman
granted the case class action status
, with the primary focus being to determine whether Microsoft intentionally deceived consumers to sell PCs. The judge also opened the door for the suit to also encompass gripes about the lack of Aero if the plaintiffs found another named plaintiff who bough Vista but was unable to run Aero.
Now in the aftermath of the ruling, the Judge Pechman
unsealed 158 pages of Microsoft corporate emails
(PDF) that paint a picture Microsoft would rather not have the public see.
Some of these emails featured Microsoft employees candidly describing the program with, "
Even a piece of junk will qualify" for "Vista Capable" designation. The now famous email from
Mike Nash, currently a corporate vice president for Windows product management, states, "
I PERSONALLY got burnt ... Are we seeing this from a lot of customers? ... I now have a $2,100 e-mail machine."
Less dramatic, but equally damaging was the email from
Jim Allchin, then the co-president of Microsoft's Platforms and Services Division, stating grimly, "
We really botched this ... You guys have to do a better job with our customers."
The most interesting emails though, turn out to be the new ones. While a number of key portions of several emails were redacted, the parts that remain paint a picture of intentional deception that Microsoft virtually admitted to in the internal emails.
In the emails Microsoft executives discuss how the
Intel 915 Chipset
was to initially be deemed incompatible Windows Vista. The policy was abruptly reversed. Says one of the executives in charge of the decision, "
In the end, we lowered the requirements to help Intel make their quarterly earnings so they could continue to sell motherboards with the 915 graphics embedded. We are caving to Intel. We worked the last 18 months to drive the [user interface] experience and we are giving this up."
This admission is extremely significant as it precisely describes what was alleged by the class action suit. Microsoft will have to fight an uphill battle to prove that its employees' email correspondence was inaccurate and misleading.
Other emails make it clear that retailers had voiced frustrations with Microsoft, and were met with stubborn resistance from Microsoft executives due to the policy, which aimed to underhandedly pump up Intel's chipset sales. Says one Microsoft executive, guiltily, "
I was in Best Buy listening to people and can tell you this did not come clear to customers. We set ourselves up."
"It looks like the iPhone 4 might be their Vista, and I'm okay with that." -- Microsoft COO Kevin Turner

The Kermit Gosnell Infanticide/Murder Trial
This story is being actively suppressed and covered up by the mainstream media and government officials.
The more I look into the Gosnell trial the more horrified I get. I don't even know how to put into words the hatred I feel towards the mainstream media now. This has to be the biggest Woman's Health and Abortion stories since Roe v Wade and no one is covering it. An abortion doctor that has separate waiting rooms for white suburban girls vs minorities (also the only clean room in the building), multiple deaths of mothers, the murder of babies born alive during the procedure by snipping their spinal cords with scissors while they scream, jars filled with the limbs of unborn babies that he kept as trophies, untrained medical staff administering drugs and anesthesia (but only on minorities... he made sure to oversee the sedation of white girls only), 17 years of complaints to the Department of Health that were found to be true yet no action was taken... I could keep going.
This is absolutely horrifying. You all need to know about it, no matter what side of the abortion debate you're on.
http://thegospelcoalition.org/blogs/...-murder-trial/ Do not watch the video if you are squeamish in any way. There are pictures of the trophy body parts and some of the murdered live babies that were born during botched procedures.
http://www.phila.gov/districtattorne...ensMedical.pdf <--Actual Grand Jury report. Warning: I couldn't even finish reading it all.
Share this information. Another clinic was also exposed for these types of practices shortly after the raid on the Gosnell clinic. The media is actively suppressing this story. Don't let them.

This is murder any way you look at it. This is not a choice, but they will say it is womens choice and it is thier body. How many women do you see with 2 heads 4 arms and 4 legs?
The will say that there is a war on women from the but the liberal media will not so much as shine a light on this horrific crime. The war on women begins with the democrat party. They push this through planned Parenthood which we all pay for through our tax dollars. Disgusting organization.

He should be first infected with every disease his victims had then his limbs should be cut off, maybe with enough pain killers, we can guess. Then his spinal cord should be snipped with the same pair of scissors he used on those babies. I'm not usually a gun hoe killer kinda person but how can you do this to a baby? It just infuriates me.

I've been reading up on it. Liberal news sites like Huffington Post are trying to spin this into the notion that this is what happens when abortion is illegal. So if it was made illegal there would be even more practices like this going on.
Makes me sick.

I've heard about it but I agree, it hasn't gotten much press. You hear more about Kim Kardashian's pregnancy than this.
I hope this guy spend the rest of his life rotting in some miserable prison.
And why is infanticide a different crime than murder?

I am not going to read the report or look at the video so thanks for the warning SS. However I cannot tell you how sickened just reading what you posted has made me. This man should have his balls nailed to a wooden post on some beach with high tide coming in. Crimes committed against defenseless children and babies are so heinous I can't comprehend how anybody can be sick enough to commit such acts. He will pay in the pits of hell and it can't be soon enough. Hopefully he dies a very horrible death , I know that's not very Christian of me but sometimes I believe some of these types of pure evil individuals should reap what they sow.

It has been completely ignored and downplayed by the media because they're afraid that it'll bring a negative light to the abortion debate.
These are the same people that brainwashed one of the women in the video to believe that abortion was okay and perfectly normal no matter how far along she was. She got EIGHT abortions through that clinic when she was younger. Now that she has grown up and realized what horrors she allowed she can't even think about what she did without breaking down.
During one of countless botched late term (30 weeks) abortions the baby was born alive and breathing. It sat on a table for 20 minutes while the "doctor" sucked out the placenta. One of the "nurses" actually played with it during that time before she turned it over and severed the spinal cord at the base of the skull with scissors.

from another news source
If you need to get up to speed on the Kermit Gosnell story, here's a good place to start.
A doctor whose abortion clinic was a filthy, foul-smelling "house of horrors" that was overlooked by regulators for years was charged Wednesday with murder, accused of delivering seven babies alive and then using scissors to kill them.
Hundreds of other babies likely died in the squalid clinic that Dr. Kermit Gosnell ran from 1979 to 2010, Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams said at a news conference.
"My comprehension of the English language can't adequately describe the barbaric nature of Dr. Gosnell," he added.
It's utterly, utterly horrible; I won't blame you if you can't read that story any further.
However, you may be surprised at how little you've heard about this story so far. Seth Mandel lays out the utterly unforgivable decision-making on the part of the national media so far:
You may not have heard much about Gosnell's case. That's because the mainstream press has chosen by and large to ignore it. There is no area of American politics in which the press is more activist or biased or unethical than social issues, the so-called culture wars. And the culture of permissive abortion they favor has consequences, which they would rather not look squarely at, thank you very much. The liberal commentator Kirsten Powers has written a tremendous op-ed in USA Today on Gosnell and the media blackout. Powers writes of the gruesome admissions that Gosnell's former employees are making in court, some of which amount to "literally a beheading" and other stomach-turning descriptions. On the media's refusal to inform the public, Powers writes:
A Lexis-Nexis search shows none of the news shows on the three major national television networks has mentioned the Gosnell trial in the last three months. The exception is when Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan hijacked a segment on Meet the Press meant to foment outrage over an anti-abortion rights law in some backward red state.
The Washington Post has not published original reporting on this during the trial and The New York Times saw fit to run one original story on A-17 on the trial's first day. They've been silent ever since, despite headline-worthy testimony. . . .
You don't have to oppose abortion rights to find late-term abortion abhorrent or to find the Gosnell trial eminently newsworthy. This is not about being "pro-choice" or "pro-life." It's about basic human rights.
The media should be ashamed beyond description for this behavior. The American left should come to terms with what it means to talk about a human life as if it were a parasite, or merely a clump of cells. And they should most certainly stop lecturing the rest of us on compassion, on pity, on social obligation, on morality.
The Washington Post health-policy reporter, Sarah Kliff explains to Mollie Hemingway, "I cover policy for the Washington Post, not local crime, hence why I wrote about all the policy issues you mention."
Except that a lot of "local crime" stories become national policy or politics issues, or at the very least get national coverage. Last night on Twitter I went on a tear: Trayvon Martin, the Cambridge Police arresting Henry Louis Gates, O. J. Simpson, the Unibomber, Jeffrey Dahmer, Casey Anthony, D. B. Cooper, Bernie Madoff, Son of Sam, JonBenet Ramsey, Andrea Yates, David Koresh & the Waco compound, Amy Fischer . . . Heck, all of the gun massacres that drive our periodic discussions of gun laws are technically "local crime" stories.
You can argue about the importance of all of the crime stories listed above, but the point is that a lot of "local crime stories" become big national stories. You'd think Doctor Baby-in-a-Blender would make the cut.
Josh Greenman, editorial-page editor of the New York Daily News: "I humbly suggest: Whether you support abortion rights or oppose them, read the Kermit Gosnell coverage with clear eyes. It is wrenching."
Ace shouts what we all know is really going on here:
This story exposes faultlines between Democrats, who are by political necessity abortion absolutists, and Independents, who may lean somewhat pro-choice but sure the hell aren't on board for infanticide. But to report this story at all would put the Democrats in the difficult position of angering its an element of its hardcore single-issue leftist coalition, or alienating independents.
Thus, the media -- which just "wants to report the facts" and "takes no positions on policy questions" and which has no partisan leaning at all -- simply doesn't report the story at all.
After all, if the public hears of it, they may make The Wrong Decisions.
You don't trust children with matches and you don't trust the American public with information. It's that simple.

Reading through that report is actually making me somewhat sick.
Something that amazes me just as much how much of a sick fukc this guy and his staff are is incredible level of local government oversight. Holy shit...someone should have stopped this LONG LONG ago...

Erin & Christine
October 6
Chicago, Illinois
Q & A with the Couple:
What was the one thing about your venue that made you know it was the one?
We immediately loved the view, of course, and how intimate it was. We had the ceremony in the same location, so the indoor and outdoor space was great too. It was perfect for a cocktail party of Champagne and hors d'oeuvres.
Which details from your wedding were your favorites?
We were really excited about our photographer and loved all the photos, she was amazing and we could not have done better.
My sister made a wishing tree for us and we still keep everyone's wishes for us in a jar on a shelf. A lovely reminder of all the love and support we have in our lives.
Our wedding cake was made by Christine's mom (Golden Goose Catering) and it was gorgeous and we loved the ceramic birds on tops.
I loved my hair and I am so glad I chose to wear my hair up for the event.
Give us the one moment in your wedding day you can't stop thinking about.
Our officiant handed out blessings for some of our guests to read during the ceremony and that really was beautiful to have our guests be a part of the ceremony too. Our ceremony was personal and the officiant really took her time to tell our story and include our guests. We were so glad it was personal; it kept the ceremony intimate.

Green Bay Visits Cleveland State on Saturday Afternoon
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Green Bay set the tone on both ends of the court on Thursday and cruised past Youngstown State with a historically good defensive performance. On Saturday, the league-leading Phoenix will aim to build off that effort and stay alone atop the Horizon League standings when it visits Cleveland State at 3 p.m. CT. At 10-2, Green Bay is one game clear of the Vikings, who have won seven games in a row.
The top two teams in the Horizon League won by a combined 51 points on Thursday night, with the Phoenix defeating YSU 71-40 and Cleveland State downing visiting UIC 73-53 at the Wolstein Center. Green Bay held the Penguins to 38 points below their season average and 27 points below their previous season low for points in a game.
Senior Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.), in his fourth game back from a shoulder injury, scored an efficient 24 points in just 27 minutes, making 11-of-16 shots from the field. Brown added four rebounds to become the program's all-time leading rebounder at the Division I level.
G – #24 Keifer Sykes, G, Jr., 5-11, 175
G – #12 Carrington Love, G, So., 6-1, 171
F – #4 Jordan Fouse, F, So., 6-7, 225
F – #15 Greg Mays, F, Jr., 6-9, 222
C – #21 Alec Brown, C, Sr., 7-1, 235
LIVE COVERAGE: Saturday's game will be televised live by Time Warner Cable SportsChannel with Jim Barbar (play-by-play) and Tim Doyle (analyst) on the call. The broadcast is also available on the Horizon League Network. On WNFL 1440 AM, Matt Menzl and Andrew Gavin will bring fans a radio broadcast of the action.
INSIDE THE SERIES: Including a 66-55 win in the Horizon League opener for both teams on Jan. 2, Green Bay has won four-straight games in the series with Cleveland State. The Phoenix is 14-17 all-time in Cleveland, but won 66-59 last year at the Wolstein Center.
SYKES SET APART: Ranking 19th nationally in points per game, Sykes is the only player in the country averaging 20-plus points (20.4), five-plus assists (5.1) and four-plus rebounds per game (4.5). On Thursday, the point guard tallied 14 points, nine rebounds and five assists while committing just one turnover.
BLOCK PARTY: With seven blocks at YSU, Green Bay broke the Horizon League record for blocked shots in a season with 185. The Phoenix has broken the program's single-season record in four-straight years, and of the top-14 single-game block efforts in Green Bay history, 13 have occurred during Brown's four years in the program. With 7.4 rejections per game, the Phoenix ranks second nationally to St. John's (7.9).
FIRST MEETING: Cleveland State led 29-23 at intermission, but Green Bay forced nine turnovers and held the Vikings to just 30 percent shooting while outscoring the visitors 43-26 after halftime. Brown had 17 points and five blocks while Fouse and Sykes added 15 points apiece. Green Bay's defense held Bryn Forbes to seven points on 2-of-10 shooting from the field.
SOPHOMORE STATEMENT: Runner-up to Forbes for the 2013 Newcomer of the Year award, Fouse has played extremely well in his career against the Vikings. In three games against CSU, Fouse is averaging 13 points on 14-of-17 shooting from the field while adding 7.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists and three steals per game.
DEFENSIVE STAND: Holding the Horizon's League's top-scoring offense to 40 points was remarkable in and of itself, but it also marked the top defensive effort by the Phoenix against a league opponent in more than a decade. Green Bay had not allowed 40 points in a conference game since Feb. 18, 1999 and largest margin of victory in HL play since 2001-02.
CHARITY WORK: As a sophomore, Sykes broke the Phoenix program record for free throws made in a season (159). Sykes has 150 makes from the line this season, good for third-most by a Phoenix player and second-most in the Division I era. The Horizon League's top scorer leads the conference and is 15th nationally in free throws made.
500-500: Sykes has now scored 1,050 points in his sophomore and junior seasons. With 539 points in 2012-13 and 511 points this season, Sykes is the fourth Phoenix player in the Division I era to reach 500 or more in back-to-back seasons (Tony Bennett, Jeff Nordgaard, Rahmon Fletcher). Nordgaard is the only Phoenix player to score 500-plus points in three consecutive seasons.
MOVING ON UP: Brown now ranks eighth in Green Bay history in scoring (1,601 points). Sykes has scored 1,385 career points in 88 games and needs seven points to pass Ray Willis into 11th place in program history.
BROWN'S BLOCKS: Brown is having the best season of his career, which includes blocks. Averaging 3.2 per game, the 7-foot-1 senior is 13th nationally. With 76 blocks in 2013-14, Brown is on pace to break his own school record of 89, set in 2011-12. Brown now owns each of the top-four spots on the program's single-season blocks chart (59, 67, 76, 89).
ANOTHER RECORD IN REACH: With 291 career blocks, Brown is also chasing the Horizon League career blocks record of 309 set last season by Youngstown State's Damian Eargle.
A LEAGUE OF HIS OWN: Brown is in the midst of the most impressive season of his standout career. The 7-foot-1 center is posting career-high numbers in points, field goal percentage and blocked shots. Against Detroit on Jan. 26, Brown became the only player in program or Horizon League history to tally 1,500-plus points (1601), 750 rebounds (768) and 250 blocked shots (291).

Happy New Year Junior Gunners!
I hope you all had a great Christmas break and got everything you wished for.
I've been really busy over the festive period and only just about managed to sit down and have some turkey on Christmas Day!
Just before Christmas, I went down to Camden Road to meet a group of children from a local school who were having coaching sessions with our guys from Arsenal in the Community.
I had to rush back from there to get to the Emirates. Pupils from an Islington school were running laps of the stadium and I made sure I was there at the finish line to greet all the kids with a high five.
Unfortunately we lost our Capital One Cup quarter-final to Bradford City on penalties. To cheer myself up, I went to Sobell Sports Centre the next day and met a group of children between the ages of one and five.
Then, on December 15 and 16, we held Gunners Grotto at the Armoury superstore - maybe you were one of the hundreds of Junior Gunners that popped in to say hello!
There were lots of activities at the grotto, including face painting. We even had clowns and a magician, and, because I felt generous in the build-up to Christmas, I gave everyone that attended a free goodie bag.
Next up for Arsenal was an away game at Reading. We won 5-2 and Santi scored a fantastic hat-trick.
I enjoyed my first trip to Camden Road so much that I went back for another school visit, before I visited Whittington Hospital with some of the players. Andre Santos, Johan DJourou, Laurent Koscielny, Per Mertesacker and Thomas Vermaelen all came along and gave out lots of presents to the children.
The team made sure we all went into Christmas happy by beating Wigan 1-0 on Saturday, December 22. Mikel got us the points with a second-half penalty.
Our game against West Ham on Boxing Day was postponed due to travel problems - which was probably a good thing as I was still stuffed from all the food on Christmas Day!
We were given a late Christmas present by the team on December 29 in what was an amazing game at the Emirates. We beat Newcastle 7-3! Lots of players played really well, including Theo, who scored his second hat-trick of the season.
We started 2013 with a 1-1 draw away at Southampton, before over 400 JGs attended a Festive Funday at the stadium.
They got to watch the first-team squad train, before meeting the players and getting autographs. There was also a pantomime, which several of the players, as well as yours truly, featured in!
We drew 2-2 against Swansea in the FA Cup, with Kieran's sensational volley the highlight, before we were unfortunately beaten 2-0 by Manchester City at the Emirates.
Well, that's all for now.
Keep your eyes peeled because I'll be writing again soon.

9/10. Board is in great condition. No top sheet chips or edge nicks. normal wear and tear on base. No boxes or rails. Used for about 4 days in peak season. great board but tad bit long for my weight. Binding do not come with board but I am willing to sell if your interested.
Never Summer Revolver-R Wide Rocker (White) Snowboard 2010: A wider version of the Evo-R, the Never Summer Revolver-R Wide Rocker Snowboard crushes pipe, park and big kickers and is extremely stable at high speed thanks to the Never Summer R.C. (Rocker and Camber) Technology. The Never Summer Revolver-R Wide Rocker Snowboard features a mid-wide shape that reduces toe and heel drag and is perfect for bigger footed, technical freestyle riders.
Made in the USA
Flex and Rider Style:Flex Rating: 4 (1 Soft 10 Stiff) Sitting on the softer end of the flex scale the Revolver-R is snappy, strong, yet still flexible. In other words, any kind of trick your throwing, whether it be a routine 360 or a 1080 (hey, its possible), will be looking and feeling a hell of a lot better on the Never Summer Revolver-R Wide Rocker Snowboard. Made for the large footed freestyler the Revolver-R is for anything.
Construction and Core:Like all Never Summer snowboards, the Revolver-R features STS Pretensioned fiber - the worlds best snowboard fiberglass. The glass is pre-hardened, pre-tensioned, and has layered laminate with elastomer stringers running the length of the effective edge. This translates to excellent strength, edge hold, and performance // Never Summer R.C. (Rocker and Camber) Technology combines the two board curvatures into one streamline partnership that takes on powder, park, and groomers all in the same run. This creates an all-terrain board that cant be beat on any part of the mountain // Never Summers Custom Flight Core combines light softwoods and elastomeric vibration dampe
Sidewalls and Edges:Never Summer chooses to use only their patented sintered P-Tex sidewalls because they are far more durable than traditional ABS constructed sidewalls. P-Tex doesnt crack in cold temperatures like ABS does, which means more riding and less time in the shop. Full metal wrap edges do exactly what you would expect; they stay sharp and responsive.

HAMILTON, N.Y. - The Canisius College women's lacrosse team notched its first win of the season on Tuesday in a 12-11 win over Colgate.
Senior midfielder Maria Kotas and junior attacker Tori Quinn led the way for the Griffs offensively, tallying four goals each.
"Today was a great character win for us, all in all we made enough plays to win the game," said head coach Scott Teeter. "Even though it's early, we still made a lot of systematic mistakes and didn't put the game out of reach in the first half. We have more areas that we can build off and have things to concentrate on moving forward in order to be successful this season."
Canisius got off to a fast start, behind a pair Quinn goal and freshman midfielder Ashley Heisler's first collegiate goal, which gave Canisius a 3-1 advantage. However, the lead didn't last long as the Raiders used a 5-1 run later in the half to open a 6-4 lead.
The Griffs would battle back with goals by sophomore midfielder Ashley Bull on back-to-back Canisius possessions, and another tally by Quinn to close out the half, leaving the game knotted at seven.
The Griffs managed to get its two-goal lead back twice in the second half with Kotas scoring three of her four goals in the second frame.
The Raiders attempted to rally late, cutting the Canisius lead to back to one with under two minutes to play, but junior goalkeeper Kayla Scully the biggest of her eight saves with 14 seconds left to preserve the Canisius win.
Next, the Griffs will host Ohio State in the team's home opener on Saturday, March 1. Frist draw is scheduled for 1 p.m.
GAME NOTES: Ashley Bull recorded her first-career multi-goal game on Tuesday... Maria Kotas set a new career high with seven ground balls in the contest.

As legislators continue to slash public school funding across the state and nation, teachers face an increasingly uncertain and competitive job market. University of St. Thomas Class of 2011 graduate Kendall LeJeune, who earned a bachelor's degree in music education, was excited to find a job as a band director almost immediately after graduation.
LeJeune credits his success to the teaching experience and professional connections he gained while studying at St. Thomas. In the fall LeJeune will serve as associate band director at First Colony Middle School in Sugar Land. He got a head start in May when he stepped in for the current associate director who was out on maternity leave.
"The immediate future for teaching positions, let alone teaching positions in the arts, looks pretty bleak," LeJeune said. "My education at St. Thomas went far beyond pedagogy; St. Thomas groomed me with the knowledge and experience that made me extremely marketable. Not only did I find a job before the end of the school year, I was able to find a position at a flagship music program that is recognized throughout the region."
After earning a bachelor's degree in public relations at the University of Southern Mississippi, LeJeune knew he wanted to finish his music degree in Texas. With the goal of interning at the fiercely competitive schools in North Texas, LeJeune sought a university that would allow him the flexibility to choose his own student-teaching location.
"I was drawn to UST because they were so helpful and accommodating with student teaching requests," he said. " It was clear that St. Thomas School of Education values each individual student and places a lot of emphasis on practical experience for teachers. UST allowed me to engineer my own path to complete my courses at UST and do my student teaching in a completely different city, several hours away. "
At his request, LeJeune was placed at nationally recognized Marcus High School in Flower Mound, which has won three consecutive Texas State Marching Band Championships among numerous other prestigious awards.
"It was amazing to be under the guidance of master teachers who are so highly regarded in their field," he said. "Just to learn the teaching strategies, see behind the scenes, and learn the logistics of running such a high caliber band program taught me how I can apply and recreate those strategies in my own teaching."

Quick GuideHow to Lose Weight Without Dieting: 24 Fast Facts
What Is The Best Life Diet?
Exercise physiologist Bob Greene's The Best Life Diet is an easy-to-follow, no-gimmicks approach to a healthy diet and lifestyle. It's a dietitian's dream diet -- and one that apparently changed talk show host Oprah Winfrey's life. Winfrey describes in the foreword how, after years of struggling with diets, she found success with The Best Life Diet.
There is nothing groundbreaking about The Best Life Diet. Greene's "diet" is synonymous with the phrase "lifestyle change." There's no going on and off this diet, because it's not a "diet." It's a lifestyle of healthy eating with an emphasis on regular physical activity.
The Best Life Diet is a safe, effective way to lose weight and improve fitness. But it is not quick or temporary. You're encouraged to make gradual changes, one step at a time. The aim is to transform your old eating and exercise habits into healthier new ones that will last a lifetime.
Depending on your gender and activity level, The Best Life Diet guidelines suggest calorie levels ranging from 1,500-2,500 and a recommended number of servings from the various food groups. The basic premise is that the more active you are, the more calories you can eat.
Greene's fitness insights and easygoing style makes weight loss easy to understand. Lots of great tips, recipes, menus, and useful tools are included to help dieters get and stay motivated. The Best Life Diet is easily tailored to a wide array of personal lifestyles, activity levels, and food preferences. The program can be followed online for a fee, or by the book.
