I can't afford a personal trainer forever but I found using this to be really the best way to keep exercise fun. It comes with a exercise DVD as well which was a bonus. Although it seems expensive, its a small investment if you use it and I do even while watching TV! Enjoy.... August 25, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5�by Jeff Well made product I've only had this for about a week. Purchased it primarily to simulate an inclined plane for sit-ups (albeit slight incline) and is works quite well for that, by allowing more extension than sitting on a floor. Will investigate other uses through the video that came with it. Although I'm still blown away by the price, it appears to be well made and should last a long time. I wish it could stand up to sunlight as I was kind of hoping to set up an exercise station outdoors by the pool. July 23, 2014

Report says Camp Lejeune toxic water may date to 1948
RALEIGH (AP) — Drinking water contamination at North Carolina's sprawling Camp Lejeune military base could date to 1948, five years earlier than researchers had reported previously, a federal report indicates.
The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry plans to release a report Friday on the contamination that has led to a long-running dispute between former residents and the Marines Corps.
TCE, an industrial solvent now known as a human carcinogen, likely first exceeded the maximum contaminant level in August 1953, but evidence shows its presence in the water supply might date as far back as November 1948, the report states. A copy of the report was obtained Thursday by The Associated Press.
"Basically, it's vindication and confirmation for what I've been saying for nearly 16 years," said retired Marine Master Sgt. Jerry Ensminger, a leader in a protracted fight for information about the contamination. "The truth is finally coming out."
Ensminger blames the contamination for the leukemia that killed his 9-year-old daughter, Janey, in 1985. Marines and family members have blamed the contamination for many kinds of cancers, including breast cancer in men and women, bladder cancer and liver cancer.
Wells at the base were contaminated by fuel leaks and other sources of pollution before being closed three decades ago. Health officials have said they think as many as 1 million people may have been exposed to tainted water. Tests done in the early 1980s showed that water at a base treatment plant was "highly contaminated" with chlorinated hydrocarbons.
The federal agency had initially set 1953 as the date for the earliest known contamination in a letter written in January to the Department of Veterans Affairs. In that letter, the agency said computer modeling showed drinking water in the residential area called Hadnot Point was unsafe for human consumption as far back as that year.
That was still four years earlier than Marines and their dependents can secure health care and screening for illnesses related to the water. President Barack Obama signed a law last year granting health care and screening to Marines and their dependents on the base between 1957 and 1987.
This week, Sen. Richard Burr filed to extend coverage back to 1953.
The report lays out levels at the Hadnot Point and Holcomb Boulevard water treatment plants on base for various contaminants, including TCE, PCE, vinyl chloride and benzene. All those chemicals are classified as causing or probably causing cancer. It also includes one other chemical that's not carcinogenic.

For thousands of years, rubies and sapphires have been revered for their beauty and perceived mystical powers. It was thought that rubies held the key to serenity and peace and could secure eternal love and happiness. The ancient Persians believed that the earth itself rested upon a great sapphire whose reflection caused the sky to be blue. Rubies and sapphires continue to captivate with their unparalleled beauty, and quality stones have become excellent investments.
Judging by their distinct color, it may be hard to believe that rubies and sapphires are actually the same stone, identical in all characteristics except color. Both are corundum and each derives their rich color from tiny amounts of different chemical impurities. These amazing corundum minerals are second only to diamonds in hardness, and in many cases, are a much better value.

There is a concerted effort, complete with soaring rhetoric, encouraging the appointment of the third-highest vote-getter with little or no consideration of alternative means of filling the seat.
Terms like "do what's right" and "democratic principles" are being employed to support this proposition. I strongly disagree.
While the "third place" solution is seductively simple and certainly has a commonsense appeal initially, when you break down the facts — regardless of who the affected candidate might be — it is a deeply flawed concept.
I believe I am uniquely qualified to address this matter.
In the November 2006 election, I placed third in balloting for two open council seats and subsequently applied for the vacant seat created when Councilman Brent Ives was elected mayor. Prior to the appointment process that the council decided on, many people told me I should be appointed based on my third-place finish.
My consistent response to that was that the election was not for the open seat and that the council had no obligation to appoint me based on the vote tally.
Nowhere on that 2006 ballot was there any reference to the vacancy that might have been created by the results of the mayoral race.
Voters were asked to elect two council members to full four-year terms out of a field of six candidates, which they did. That was the end of the electoral process for City Council seats in that election.
Filling the vacancy that was created required a completely separate process.
I earned 1,100 more votes than the fourth-place candidate in 2006. Had the council appointed me based solely on that vote difference, those 1,100 votes would have been made golden, having much greater value than any other votes.
It would have also meant that every other voter would have been disenfranchised, in that they would never have had the opportunity to vote for any candidate to fill the remainder of then-Councilman Ives' term.
There were a total of 15,403 voters in the mayoral race of 2006, where there was only one seat in play. This is a more accurate count of actual voters than the council race, where votes can be cast for two candidates. To have appointed me based on my third-place finish would have meant that an elected position would have been filled based on significantly less than 10 percent of the vote in an election that never included the office in question on the ballot.
This is a poor example of democratic principles.
Those who champion the appointment of the third-place candidate would also have us assume that if the two winners of the election had not been on the ballot, the finishing order of the remainder of the field would have been the same. This is more flawed logic.
As is always the case when I write to the Tracy Press, the opinions I express are mine and mine alone, and I speak as a private citizen. It is my intention to specifically address a process that is being proposed that I believe is improper.
I am not advocating for or against anyone who might desire to fill the vacancy that exists. I have deep respect for all the council candidates who were not elected. Through their service and community involvement, they all have shown they are assets to Tracy.
If a decision is made to make an appointment to fill the remainder of Councilman Elliott's seat, I would encourage them apply if they so desire, as would I encourage any other eligible citizen who wants to serve on the council.
It should then be the job of the council to objectively interview all applicants and collectively decide who would best serve Tracy. By law, this process would be conducted in open council session to ensure transparency. Another alternative would be to have a special election. This a decision the new council will face.
I do not believe that blindly appointing the third-place candidate would have been the right answer in 2006, and it's not the right answer now.
When you consider the points that have been raised, it is difficult to rationalize the proposal that an appointment should be based solely on the finishing order of the unsuccessful candidates.
The community deserves a better, more open process.
• Michael Maciel is the mayor pro tem of Tracy and was first elected to the City Council in 2008.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb, the author of "The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable", has a simple proposal to as he puts it, "save capitalism and free markets from the banks."
Nationalise the banks, limit the rewards to those who work in what he calls the "utility" part of the system and have a completely uninsured second leg that can take all the risks it wants and lose its shirt, he said in an interview in Davos at the World Economic Forum.
"They rigged the game. We pay them for their profits, there is no clawback so their incentive is to hide the risk they are taking."
"Which is why eventually as someone who loves free markets, a total nationalisation of the part of the business that requires insurance and does clearing and payments needs to happen."
"I am angry with U.S. policy. What we had is exactly the opposite of socialism, they got TARP to pay their bonuses and to take more risk."

Faith's Kitchen Renovation: How We Assembled & Installed Our IKEA Kitchen
Renovation Diary: Faith's Budget Luxe Kitchen
Ready for the next step in my kitchen renovation? Here's where things get a little wild and fast, and where my photo library gets a little thinner than I would like. I understand now why people have a hard time documenting renovations, especially near the end — you're so exhausted and ready to be done the camera is the last thing on your mind.
Having said that, I do want to walk through how we installed our IKEA cabinets. Here's a peek at the process of assembling and installing the kitchen, which we actually did ourselves with some coaching from our contractor. (Tip: If you want to read from the beginning, click here, or scroll to the bottom of this post and click back through the series widget at the bottom.)
September 2014 Update: SEKTION
IKEA has officially announced that they are replacing the AKURUM line of cabinets seen here with a new and improved system of cabinets — SEKTION. Read more about this change here:
→ More on the difference between AKURUM & SEKTION: IKEA Is Totally Changing Their Kitchen Cabinet System. Here's What We Know About SEKTION.
Crunch Time!
It's hard for me to delve into this period of our renovation, because this was crunch time for us. Remember we weren't just renovating our kitchen but doing a gut renovation on an entire home. Our goal was to be finished enough that my husband's brother and sister-in-law and their two small children could come and stay with us the week after Thanksgiving for a family get-together. A goal which, in hindsight, seems insane, but did push us over the finish line.
At this point in our life, just two weeks before Thanksgiving of last year, my husband and I were sleeping perhaps 3 hours a night, juggling work, contractor meetings, the labor of priming the whole house, assembling and installing the kitchen, and packing up our old house. (Apologies if you emailed me during this time and never heard back — my inbox still really hasn't recovered yet from my renovation!)
The instructions booklet!
Assembling IKEA Cabinets
The process of putting together IKEA cabinets is very straightforward, but also time-consuming. We had about 16 large cabinets to assemble, and we worked until the wee hours of the morning several evenings in a row.
The way we did it is put down plastic to protect our new floors, then lay out several cabinets in a row, putting them together assembly-line style. We'd lay out the pieces, knock in the dowels and screw in the cam screws, then fit it all together. Doing it like this was satisfying and efficient.
To Glue or Not To Glue?
My husband and I had a mild disagreement over gluing the cabinets. Our carpenter contractor reflexively recommended gluing the cabinet joints as we assembled. So did my cautious father-in-law. But as I read through the IKEA Fans web community, many people said that gluing really didn't increase the sturdiness of the cabinets at all. After all the cabinets would be bolted to the floor and, in places, the wall. Would wood glue really make a difference?
We ended up gluing most of the cabinets that went into our island to be on the safe side, but time and exhaustion got the better of us and we gave it up once we started in on the wall cabinets. (Curious about your experience — if you assembled IKEA cabinets, did you glue them too?)
Surveying the cabinets, partially finished. Getting so close!
Installing the Cabinets
Our budget with our contractor didn't really extend to him and his team actually installing our kitchen cabinets, a fact that rather overwhelmed me at this late juncture. He was racing to finish up our master bathroom in time, but he did coach us through the installation which was totally awesome of him. There's no way we could have done it all on our own! (He and his crew did do our trim and small finishing carpentry on the cabinets — a great combination of DIY and professional help that really worked well for us.)
The platform we built for the cabinets to rest on.
The first decision to make when installing the cabinets was how to mount them on the floor. We had bought a lot of legs for the cabinets but after some discussion with our contractor we decided to return the legs and not use them. Instead we built a platform out of 2x4 lumber.
We had several reasons: First of all, it was easier than attaching the legs and making sure they were on correctly. Secondly, it was WAY easier to level the cabinets on one even platform. And third (and so exciting for me!) this way we could lower the countertop heights by a whole inch to accommodate this short cook. (I seriously did a happy dance over this — I love having cabinets that are better suited to my height!) It was also quite easy to attach our toe-kick to this platform.
Tom, our contractor, taking a break from tiling our bathroom to coach my husband through attaching cabinets.
Once we made that decision we placed the cabinets on the base and worked to attach the built cabinets to one another with these little bolts called sex bolts (yes, I know), because one part fits inside the other and as you ratchet the bolt it pulls the cabinets really flush. (Sex bolts became the subject of many, many late-night weary jokes, believe you me.)
Making sure the cabinets were level.
Then the cabinets were painstakingly leveled and bolted into the platform (which was itself attached to the floor). Describing all this makes it sound fairly straightforward and simple and in some ways it was. We didn't have the extra hassle and care of hanging upper cabinets, which made everything easier.
But if you're not a carpenter or building professional, this kind of thing takes a long time. My husband is a total champ — he learned a ton through this process (and acquired a better drill and a circular saw!). But it took him hours of painstaking, cautious checking, planning, and double-checking as he built the platform, attached the cabinets, made sure they were level and plumb, and bolted everything into the wall and floor.
This was after we started building the drawers and stacking them up in the cabinets. Love that IKEA/Blum hardware. Those drawers and slides are really solid.
One of Those Little Renovation Shockers...
To give you a sense of how much faster professionals can do this stuff, let me tell you the one little shocking story from our kitchen installation. The afternoon after my husband had heroically installed all the cabinets, I came to the house and found our contractor, his second-in-command, and the plumber standing around with stricken looks. We hadn't double-checked the dishwasher before building our cabinet platform and so the dishwasher was half an inch too tall to fit where it should go.
My contractor made a fast executive decision. They would lift the entire island (which is 10 feet by 3 feet, let me point out). I didn't stick around to watch, but they unscrewed all the bolts, shimmed it up with thin pieces of plywood, and bolted it back down. This took them all of 15 minutes.
I waited until my husband had a glass of wine in his hand that evening before passing on that story! We were glad to have professionals who knew what they were doing — it's just humbling to know how much faster they can get stuff done, and to remember there are times it's best to just let the pros get it done.
Happy level bubble!
And yet it really shows how accessible this installation was. If you have someone who knows what they are doing to coach you (like our contractor did for us), adequate tools, and some time and patience, it's very doable to build and install cabinets yourself. My husband is a researcher and professor and I'm hardly handy at all; we're really not the DIY types. And yet we're really proud of the time and handiwork that went into building the kitchen ourselves.
At the outset it sounded like the scariest thing ever, but it's actually less pressure, in the end, than building your own IKEA furniture — which we've all done, right? Think about it — your IKEA chairs and bookshelves get a lot more wear and tear and shoving around than your kitchen cabinets, which have the advantage of being bolted to the wall and covered with a solid countertop. Yes, you need to make sure everything is as level and plumb as possible, but with the right tools and enough time this something that nearly anyone can do.
Just don't underestimate the time. We spent at least two weeks of evenings and early mornings before work assembling cabinets and installing them and then adding drawer slides, dampers, and drawers. I spent at least 8 hours one night doing nothing but taking drawer pieces out of boxes, and putting them together.
Our unfinished pantry and laundry room with some assembled drawers waiting for installation, plus our drawer and door fronts from Semihandmade. They came protectively swaddled in paper, plastic, and Styrofoam wrappings.
What's Next?
So, those are the bones of the kitchen, but what about the pretty parts? The fronts and doors? Those come next, along with the appliances and countertops. Oh, the countertops — what a saga that was. Stay tuned!
Getting close! Remember what it used to look like? Here let me show you...

I'm really loving this series, Faith! Thanks for spelling it all out. This is a great resource, especially for those of us who are dragging our feet on a kitchen remodel on a limited budget. It's reassuring to see how much you and your husband were able to do yourselves. It gives me hope for our remodel (hopefully in the next two years!)
Thanks so much! I am doing a bathroom/laundry room remodel and have been struggling with some height issues between the washer and dryer and Ikea cabinet heights. Your solution of a custom base for a custom height just solved my problem of an inch difference! I have really enjoyed your posts about your remodel. Thanks again.
I am SO excited that I found these posts you are writing about installing an Ikea kitchen. I have designed our kitchen and am trying to pull together a budget so we can project when to start our project. I've been contemplating using Ikea cabs to save a little money, since my husband and I both cook and want a lot of bells and whistles out of this kitchen renovation, so I'm thrilled to read along about your experiences and using Semihandmade for the doors. THANK YOU for writing this series - I am feeling so much more confident about going this route now! Can't wait to see your kitchen progress!
Wow--the space looks so beautiful!!! I am really enjoying reading your experience with putting in an Ikea kitchen--I've always thought that was the best way to go, and you are really tipping the pendulum in its favor ;-) I cannot wait to see what the doors look like!! Semihandmade does some awesome work.
such good information, thanks Faith.
I'm laying out a new design for our 75 yr old church kitchen, which is used as a cafe currently.
We did NOT glue any of our Ikea cabs and they are still perfect 6 years later!
This is such an interesting series on building a new kitchen using IKEA cabinets. I like the idea of keeping costs down, and letting semihandmade create doors and such.
I can see this being done to mimic elements of Henry Built cabinets for instance as far as simple appearances are concerned in a kitchen remodel for a reasonable budget.
Can't wait to see/read the next installment, and your documentation on this segment was very good despite the reduced photo taking, and I can totally understand why though, still, I got a good idea of what went into the assembly nonetheless.
Faith, this is awesome.
I put together my ikea kitchen last winter with the help of a carpenter whom i had budgeted in for 2 days maximum. The overwhelming feeling of despair i got from looking at ALL the boxes in the living room, was real. Urghhhhhhhh!! I assembled everything and got help with the actual hanging. I did not glue any of the cabinets.
And then, at last, when the finished product came together, i was more amazed than i was overwhelmed the previous week. I spent the most time putting on handles (and messing up) and installing the finishing touches of trim than i ever thought possible but it is beautiful and functional. Don;t give up, it will be AMAZING!
Lisa, you can do it. I had not assembled cabinets before and even though i did get help with the hanging part, (cabinets are actually heavy!) i did a lot more of the finishing than i thought i would and it is BEAUTIFUL. you will really love your kitchen. Depending on the size, give yourself one to two weeks.
I'm really enjoying these posts. I had considered Ikea for my own kitchen renovation after I relocated back to my 1947 house, but didn't want to replace all the cabinets since they were solid wood and half of them were in good shape.
The cabinets under the kitchen sink had rotted out during my absence, so I hired a local cabinetmaker to match to the remaining good ones. He did a superb job and the cost was competitive with big-box stores. I also found hardware online, to match the original drawer pulls.
Although Ikea can offer some great deals, I would advise anyone thinking about a small renovation to consider using a local woodworker. Often you'll get great craftsmanship and exactly what you want, with potentially higher quality materials. And he worked with me on a price I could manage.
It would be really cool if we could sign up for notifications whenever a new part in this series is published!
This has been an education and is helping me to finally make moves towards our own kitchen remodel. Thank you so much for your well-written, detailed and human-like explanations along the way.
We didn't glue our cabinets, and they are holding up just fine.
Also, I can't imagine anything being easier than using the Ikea legs. You do have to check that they stay in the appropriate holes as you move cabinets in place, but they are what makes leveling the cabinets easy. (Of course, you still have to use a level and figure out which leg to adjust, but the actual adjustment is straightforward.)
I'm with emilie_b on both points. My partner and I built and installed our Ikea kitchen ourselves (just the two of us) in 2 days, no glue. I think you may have made it harder on yourselves using that platform base, using the Ikea legs was super easy and fast. Ours had tiny holes in the center of the leg bracket, and a tiny screw to hold it in the right spot while placing the cabinet.
The only issue I have run into is that one of our base cabinets holds a trash can (insert by Rubbermaid, I believe), so the door is held on at the bottom of the trash slider. The knob is still at the top of the door though, so it has warped a bit with 3.5 years of use.
Just finished putting together an IKEA bookcase, desk with drawer, and a storage cabinet. THREE DAYS. I could do it in my sleep now and at this moment I am hearing "Fanfare for the Common Man" in my ears.
My experience has been that "assembling Ikea furniture" should be included along with "irreconcilable differences" or "abandonment" as grounds for divorce.
I am in awe of your forbearance. Well done!
Even though only half finished, your kitchen is gorgeous already!
I am totally in awe. Congrats to you and DH at your accomplishment.
Glue is really not necessary, and probably can't hurt. But keep in mind that it may invalidate your warranty since you deviated from the installation instructions. The platform might be necessary for an island (since you do need to attach the cabs to the floor), but in general the legs are really easy to use and ideal for existing homes which may not have level floors. In my house, the floors sloped quite significantly from front to back and side to side, so it would have been a nightmare to try to build a platform. Overall, the IKEA installation system is straightforward and relatively easy - the hanging rail is simply genius! I do like the idea of getting a carpenter to do trim work.
Looking good!! I'm so excited for you, can't wait to see the rest!
Ikea cabinets are beyond easy to put together. I mean, it's the absolute most basic form they make. No one should be afraid. : )
We didn't glue ours because it never occurred to me. You have to screw through one into the next, and the countertop is adhered to the top, so how would they come apart? Also, one side of that joint is laminate and the other the end of a sheet of particle board. There are few glues that are going to stick to that laminate with any real strength. Don't bother.
We made one bonehead error in our kitchen, similar to the author's not realising the height of the appliances: I had our dishwasher butted up to the wall (there's no clearance in our plan), only to find the door wouldn't open past the doorway trim! GAH! So we had to buy a new sink cabinet (30" down from the 36" we had already drilled through for the plumbing), move the DW over 6 inches, and cut down a cabinet saved from our demo to create a 6-inch wide "thing" to fill the gap between the DW and the wall. Kind of a happy accident, in the end because the weird skinny cabinet is perfect for cutting boards and grocery bags (or cookie sheets). (god help us if we ever buy a new stove and it's more than a quarter inch wider than our current one)
We're really being held in suspense waiting to see how the kitchen turned out!
Seriously, where IS the next installment? We're in the middle of the IKEA kitchen sale, and I'd REALLY like to see the series finish. It's been a big help so far in helping me decide how to attack the kitchen reno in my new home; wish I could see how the rest turned out.
I also love the series and am finding it very helpful. It would be great to hear a few more details about the IKEA box choices. Love semi handmade fronts! But what was the finish you chose for the IKEA boxes? Also, any thoughts about must haves for kitchen storage options? Can you suggest the basics? Like your other fans I too am dying to see the finished product! Get that camera out!!
La renovation appartement est très réussie ,on reconnait les meubles IKEA ,les finitions sont très bien soignée et le style de déco est épurée .Dommage qu'on ne voit pas le résultat finit .Je reviendrais sur le blog pour voir les photos de la fin de la renovation appartement.Rénovation appartement
OK...I'm really late coming to your party, but I wanted to thank you for this series of photos and how to's. I also need to build a base for a lower installation because it's a master bedroom wall of Akurum and don't want the height of a kitchen. You answered my question, so thank you very much.

Despite the fact that I've been using Windows 8 for the past three weeks, I somehow managed to overlook a rather stark feature in the OS: ads. No, we're not talking about ads cluttering up the desktop or login screen (thankfully), but rather ads that can be found inside of some Modern UI apps that Windows ships with. That includes Finance, Weather, Travel, News and so forth. Is it a problem? Let's tackle this from a couple of different angles.
The Modern UI (Metro) interface of Windows 8 essentially delivers a mobile experience on whatever device it's used on, be it a desktop, notebook or tablet. On previous mobile platforms, such as iOS and Android, seeing ads inside of free apps hasn't been uncommon. It's a way for the developer to get paid while allowing the user to have the app for free. That's where the first big difference comes in. While people can expect ads in a free app, no one expects ads in a piece of software that they just paid good money for. I actually can't think of another immediate example where a piece of paid software shows ads.
But there are other angles to look at this from. People subscribe to cable, and see ads. However, the difference there is that's a recurring subscription, and it could be assumed that without ads, cable fees would be much higher. Then there's the fact that the apps inside of the Modern UI are all Internet-capable, so in a sense, they all act like their own customized browser. We're used to seeing ads on websites, so is this really that different? It's hard to say, but again, as free services, that's to be expected.
The answer of just how wrong Microsoft is to cram advertisements in its commercial software will differ from person to person, I'm sure. Me, I'm not too bothered, but I can totally relate to anyone who is. From all I can tell, none of the ads are intrusive, and I appreciate that. As for them being in paid software, that doesn't bother me either because of that above fact. However, I am bothered by other aspects.
The biggest mistake here on Microsoft's behalf is that no one is made aware of these ads until they happen to stumble on them. No one is going to expect ads to be loaded in their paid-for OS, so a notification of that at first boot would be appreciated. Further, no one is given the option to disable them (though I'm sure it'd take little more than an editing of the hosts file). Finally, there's also the fact that these ads haven't decreased the price of the OS, else that'd be a point Microsoft would no doubt flaunt.
We can't talk about the inclusion of ads and not mention the "T" word: tracking. I haven't been able to find any information on whether or not Microsoft's tracking the ads you are clicking on, but if that is indeed the case, we'll find out soon enough. Unlike Windows 7 and earlier, your entire Windows 8 account can be tied to an e-mail account, so it would be rather easy for Microsoft to track things on a personal level - much like how Google does with its search engine, e-mail and so forth. This alone gives good reason to be concerned.
We'd love to hear your thoughts on this. Are you okay with Microsoft infusing the Modern UI with ads? Would you ever be interested in a less expensive version of Windows that was ad-supported?
Just type "sudo apt-get remove unity-lens-shopping", or uncheck the option in system settings.
Oh wait, on Windows.... just live with it.
What part of "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" don't you understand?
He's talking about the Apps having ads, not the OS!
Anyway, apparently MS is doing this to promote the In-App Ads capabilities to garner advertisement business. So far 25 brands, including Coca-Cola, Ford and Samsung, have signed up.
So we may or may not see Ads in future paid Apps, since right now it's promotional.
Mind MS is spending hundreds of million, with possibly upwards towards a billion world wide, on advertisement for Windows 8. So they're not considering just the cost of the software and they are trying to set up some new business models going forward.
>> "He's talking about the Apps having ads, not the OS!"
Built-in apps are as much a part of the OS as Unity plug-ins are - they both come with the system, and you never have to use either. So, either both are part of the OS, or neither are. At least the ones in Unity are showing you things you're searching for.
There are two third-party programs I consider absolutely necessary with Windows 8: Classic Shell, and Hostsman. The former gives you back the Start Menu, so you aren't constantly seeing that eyesore called "modern UI," and the other completely blocks thousands of malicious Web sites - including the major advertising services.
No, Apps are Apps regardless of whether they come pre-installed or not. It won't change the OS UI if they are there or not!
Besides, the point of the article is they're putting it in paid apps!
Free Apps are pretty much expected to have Ads these days but people aren't used to getting them in paid Apps.
The comparison to desktop Linux is also flawed because there isn't a business model for desktop Linux Apps, most are Open Source and free, along with a smaller user base to earn enough income via adverts.
While the MS App business model is like the one Google and Apple are using.
Though I'm sure we'll start seeing ads on desktop Linux once options like Valve's Steam become available and introduce pay for games/apps business model...
The only adds i have seen have been on the webpages which is standard, and some of the free apps i have downloaded. I get the same thing on my android phone with some free apps nothing really new or anything....
Alright, that made me LOL. Good one.
The difference is that these apps come included with the OS you paid for. We're not talking about third-party apps here. I don't recall ever coming across a first-party app bundled with a phone that had ads in it.
I agree on many points here. The sad thing is though, if Ubuntu implemented ads like Microsoft did here, people would be burning Canonical at the stake... that's a fact. Just look at how people treated the introduction of the Amazon ads in the latest release. And this... for a 100% cost-free OS! If companies like Canonical didn't need money, things like that wouldn't be implemented. I am quite certain the $40 - $200 people pay for a Windows license more than takes care of the need to introduce ads into the OS.
Been using win8 for a while now. Even in the free apps I've downloaded not an advert to be seen. What kind of timeframe are we looking at here I wonder.
Kindle Fire has ads in the OS.
I've been saying this to my friends for a while now. A few believed me. Everything in Windows 8 that has been done just SCREAMS that they are trying to move Windows to the Xbox route.
By default, you are stuck with the Metro interface. Ads in apps? Sure. Wait till they start putting the ads on the main metro interface. The metro "solution" to the start screen. This is what they do on Xbox, so it's not like they've not got a record of it.
And to help prevent you from ad-blocking, by default they ignore the hosts file. No more telling the OS that the ad servers are hosted on your local machine.
And just wait for the subscription service. Xbox you pay per month for the privilege of connecting over your own internet connection using your own hardware to another person's hardware to play a game online. The only thing the microsoft servers do is say "Hey, there's a game over here.". Oh, and they serve ads. - They're already known to be considering a subscription service for MS Office. Is a Windows subscription really all that far out?
I seem to recall them even saying you can play xbox games on Windows 8 PCs. That brings the xbox ecosystem itself right into Windows 8.
Amazon is selling the Kindle Fire roughly at cost. I don't have a Kindle Fire: are the ads for stuff that Amazon sells? Does clicking on an ad take you to an Amazon page? If so, that's the whole idea behind the Kindle Fire.
simple solution for everyone. get a Mac. problem solved.
> " there isn't a business model for desktop Linux Apps"
Then... you proceed to mention Steam, and its traditional business model. :\ Valve's not exactly the first company to do that on Linux. This might shock you, but Ubuntu has an entire store/"Software Center" that will sell you apps... and was doing so before Windows.
On Linux, there is every model present on Windows. I've bought apps on many occasions - it's just that most app-creating entities lean towards service models that only charge business clients instead. If you think Linux is thriving because no one knows how to get paid, you're wrong; many of the contributors are paid to do their work by large corporations.
> "Free Apps are pretty much expected to have Ads these day"
Except on Linux, where a huge percentage of apps are free, and damn near *zero* of them have Ads. I was being gracious by mentioning the Unity stuff, which you can easily disable - or sidestep completely by using more than a dozen other freely available desktops.
Because Apple think their OS as a platform, but MS think their's as a just another profitable product.
I'm not sure which one is better than the other, but I don't think Ads are long-term solution.
" This might shock you, but Ubuntu has an entire store/"Software Center" that will sell you apps... and was doing so before Windows."
Sorry, not news and it doesn't change anything stated! Fact remains that has never been the main business model for linux, especially for Open Source Advocates! Also doesn't change that until now that it has never had strong ties to other major companies but bringing in companies like Valve does!
Besides, the point is it's part of companies like Valve's business model and Apps acquired through them will likely have In-App advertisement and you will not likely be able to get rid of them!
"If you think Linux is thriving because no one knows how to get paid, you're wrong; many of the contributors are paid to do their work by large corporations."
Some are but that isn't the point to many who use Linux, especially the Open Source advocates! Also, there isn't the same incentive for developers to really invest their time as there are for more traditional business models. Thus why Linux still lacks many of the more advance software packages.
Solutions like gimp are no replacement for Photoshop, ditto for advance audio and video editing applications.
"Except on Linux, where a huge percentage of apps are free, and damn near *zero* of them have Ads."
You're confusing what used to be with what will be happening! The business model is going to change as Valve and others start to entering the Linux market and In-App advertisement will probably the least of the changes it will bring.
First, this is NOT Windows 8. These are Bing apps. Bing survives off advertising. You can remove these apps and install 3rd party. Remember, this is Windows, and you DO have freedom of choice of what you run and why. Also, why does THIS SITE have so much advertising? Seriously, be careful to not roll your mouse over a double underlined word in the article! You'll be redirected to an unknown 3rd party web site if your not carefull on this site. Bad Verge, Bad.
Not, these ads are not in Windows, they are in the Bing apps which can be unpinned and not used. So no, you don't have to live with it you idiot.
Editing the hosts file is a stupid thing to do. At least it will slow your system down. At worst, it will cause some apps to not work at all.
I guess you don't own a newer device then? Many new devices with Android are more and more coming with ads built into the included apps. Not to mention many tracking methods turned on and you are unable to turn them off.
Wow. Just wow! You really have no idea what your giving up in the way of privacy with a Mac do you?
You have identified a trivial feature of a few apps, not a "Big Hidden Windows 8 Feature".
Nor is "Further, no one is given the option to disable them (though I'm sure it'd take little more than an editing of the hosts file). " accurate. You can simply uninstall the Finance, News, and Weather Apps if you find the ads intrusive. To do so, right click on the app in question, and then select Uninstall.
"companies like Valve's business model and Apps acquired through them will likely have In-App advertisement and you will not likely be able to get rid of them!"
Hmmm... nothing like that came with my OS. Nor, is it likely to - thanks to the way open-source operating systems work. If I choose to pay for adverts, fine: I know what's coming - it's not at all like the stealthiness of the ads which this article implies.
"Solutions like gimp are no replacement for Photoshop,"
For the vast majority of us, they are. I'm a guy who took actual for-pay Photoshop classes years ago, and since leaving I've never been wanting for a feature. I used Gimp several times this week, with ease. Point me to one thing on this site that can be done with Photoshop, but not Gimp. The world wonders.
" Thus why Linux still lacks many of the more advance software packages."
I suppose that would depend on your definition of 'advanced', since Linux runs just about everything - including more than 90% of the worlds supercomputers and server farms. A few security-plagued Adobe and Microsoft products does not the world make. When anything is so 'important' as to be necessary, it has always appeared (most times before the Windows version).
"You're confusing what used to be with what will be happening!"
And you're confusing your ability to predict/control the future with reality. Nothing Valve is doing changes anything in the Linux ecosystem - it just makes it easier to purchase some closed-source games for those of us that don't find that idea offensive.
That's disabling the entire app that comes with your paid-for OS, not just the ad. There's quite a major difference there.
Install the Google Windows 8 App and open it. Do a search. What do you see in the results at the top and right of the app? ADs These are Bing Apps and not Windows 8 OS ads. You can remove these apps at any time.
"Hmmm... nothing like that came with my OS. Nor, is it likely to - thanks to the way open-source operating systems work."
Nope, because when they bring things like Valve's Steam to Linux that means they're also bring non-open source software!
Having a Open Source OS won't change that! For the most part Windows has traditionally been very customizable too, at least by people who had sufficient level of knowledge. Windows users just had to deal with DRM and other closed source issues much more than Linux users, but changing the market ecosystem can bring all the same issue to Linux too!
Really, Android is Open Source too but you don't see any easy way to stop In-App ads there either!
"For the vast majority of us, they are. I'm a guy who took actual for-pay Photoshop classes years ago, and since leaving I've never been wanting for a feature. I used Gimp several times this week, with ease. Point me to one thing on this site that can be done with Photoshop, but not Gimp. The world wonders."
There's a ton of things you can do with Photoshop but not Gimp. Really, point to a single business that uses Gimp commercially instead of Photoshop?
Gimp is functional and you can do a lot, but Photoshop is easier to use, has more features and capabilities, and has far more support behind it.
Besides, what vast majority? Vast majority of people aren't using Gimp! Vast majority of desktop PC users aren't even using Linux.
"I suppose that would depend on your definition of 'advanced', since Linux runs just about everything - including more than 90% of the worlds supercomputers and server farms. A few security-plagued Adobe and Microsoft products does not the world make. When anything is so 'important' as to be necessary, it has always appeared (most times before the Windows version)."
Sorry but the facts are that those products make money and are used by professional! There's nothing really security plagued about them! MS isn't on the top ten list anymore of vulnerable software! And most of Adobe's issue is with Flash and not major products like Photoshop.
While most of that 90% is not desktop Linux! Many servers don't even use a GUI and tend to have custom software! So hardly compare!
"And you're confusing your ability to predict/control the future with reality. Nothing Valve is doing changes anything in the Linux ecosystem - it just makes it easier to purchase some closed-source games for those of us that don't find that idea offensive."
Wrong, first thing Valve isn't going to just sell games on Steam. They're going to be making it a general purpose App Store. Second, the point is you'll have the same issue with In-App ads no matter the OS and the Linux app ecosystem is going to change when you start introducing App market system like Valve will offer, which won't be the only change but just the first of many.
While what MS is doing isn't the first time paid apps have had ads. It's just not something usually done, but even Android has the occasional paid app with Ads. Video games have long had ads regardless of whether they were free or paid.
So it's more a question of whether MS intends this to be regular or whether it's just promotional to get advertising companies to sign up with them.
Let alone your soul.
I have no adds any any application I have installed that i own, people making out like they add ads everywhere are just plan dumb and over reacting. The adds are in free apps which is where they make their money from.
I'm using a UK version of Win8 on a Surface tablet and I see none of these ads - is this just a US phenomenon....?
I'm using a UK version of Win8 on a Surface tablet and I see none of these ads - is this just a US phenomenon....?
No idea on that specifically i have not seen any ads in any paid apps on my Win 8 pro system. But you can do some quick testing open the weather app and scroll a few screens to the right do you see a banner add anywhere? try the same with the sports app or news app. Sometimes I will ocassionally spot and ad here and there while looking deeply into a Metro/Win 8 style app.
"Really, Android is Open Source too but you don't see any easy way to stop In-App ads there either!"
But it is easy. Just install adfree android. Works great.
Oops. Sorry, that's only for rooted phones.
Besides, we were talking about easy ways to do it with the OS... No advantage in using a 3rd party app as you can do that with Windows too and without rooting...
Thanks for sharing this nice post. Windows 8 is Microsoft's next generation operating system and Windows 8 features are easy to use for desktops, laptops and tablets users.
From a different perspective.... I'm a novice consumer. Usually OSX. Started using Windows only to see what the rest of the world is seeing. I came across the ads in the preinstalled Weather. After I realized that I can't get rid of the ads (why I am here), it made me nauseous. I can't wait to quit working and go off the Google/MS grid. Although I am sure that I am too late.

Defending champion Cadel Evans headlines the BMC Racing Team's roster for the Tour de France, as announced Tuesday by BMC Racing Team President/General Manager Jim Ochowicz and Directeur Sportif John Lelangue.
Difficult Roster Choice
Ochowicz said it was not an easy task selecting the eight riders who will help Evans during the three-week race that begins Saturday, June 30 in Liège, Belgium. "We have a number of qualified athletes, all of whom who could have been a great addition to this team," Ochowicz said. "We're looking forward to a challenging race, but one that we're prepared to take on. What we got out of last year's Tour was that we did a lot of things right and not too many things wrong. We'd like to repeat that this time around." Returning to join Evans from last year's Tour team are Marcus Burghardt, George Hincapie, Amaël Moinard, Manuel Quinziato and Michael Schär. Joining them will be three riders new to the BMC Racing Team this year: Steve Cummings, Philippe Gilbert and Tejay van Garderen.
One Objective
Lelangue said the eight riders joining Evans will solely devote their efforts toward helping him become the Tour's first back-to-back winner since 2005. Seven of the eight raced together at the Critérium du Dauphiné – where Evans finished third – and none of them competed in the Giro d'Italia. "We have one objective: to defend Cadel's title and bring him to the podium in Paris," Lelangue said. "Everyone will know clearly what their job is during the three weeks of racing. Our roster has a really good balance, especially considering the parcours."
Stronger Team
Evans said he is buoyed by confidence gained from his first Tour victory last year in seven appearances. "I know now that I can win it and my lead-up this year is nearly identical to what we did last year," he said. "We're bringing an even stronger team to the Tour this year and the route would seem to favor me. But the time trials will change the dynamics of the race and some of the tactics of my rivals. But like last year, I'll go to the Tour with my own plan, to ride my own race." In addition to a stage win and third place overall at the Critérium du Dauphiné, Evans's lead-up to the Tour included a win in the time trial stage of the Critérium International on the way to overall victory.
BMC Racing Team Tour de France Roster:
Marcus Burghardt (GER), Steve Cummings (GBR), Cadel Evans (AUS), Philippe Gilbert (BEL), George Hincapie (USA), Amaël Moinard (FRA), Manuel Quinziato (ITA), Michael Schär (SUI), Tejay van Garderen (USA).
Brent Bookwalter (USA), Steve Morabito (SUI).

World road champion Philippe Gilbert finished fifth for the BMC Racing Team Monday while teammate Cadel Evans moved into ninth overall on the eve of the team time trial at the Tour de France.
Ready For Team Time Trial
Evans said the 145.5-kilometer stage was more conservative than he had anticipated. "I honestly expected a more aggressive race from the start," the 2011 Tour de France champion said. "I thought more would be interested in getting in the breakaway on such a hard stage and the breakaway has a pretty good chance if it's a good quality one. But they sort of let a group go quite easily." Ultimately, the five escapees were brought back and Evans finished 13th as Simon Gerrans (Orica-GreenEdge) pipped Peter Sagan (Cannondale Pro Cycling) for the stage win. Jan Bakelants (RadioShack Leopard) kept the race lead. By virtue of its second place on the team classification, the BMC Racing Team will be the second-to-last team to start the 25 km race against the clock in Nice. "We can look forward with confidence at the team time trial tomorrow," BMC Racing Team Directeur Sportif John Lelangue. "We have worked on this since the beginning of the year. We had three days on a wonderful course with a team who is in good shape and worked well to protect Cadel. Now we will see what happens at the team time trial and, after this, we go to the Pyrenees."

Spent the first four days of the Kansas season hunting Rio Grande turkeys on public land. Missed a nice tom that circled around my dekes opening morning, shot just under him; then took a jake that day in the evening. Had plenty of action but the bigger birds mostly stayed on the private land with the hens; took a second jake late in the afternoon on my last day. Both were close shots as they approached my decoys, went right down. Got everything on video, need to do some editing.
