Sprouts Farmers Market Plants 50th Location in Northern California

Doors Open in “The Happiest Place in America” on June 2nd at 7am

PHOENIX, AZ–(Marketwire – May 26, 2010) –  Sprouts Farmers Market, which offers right-from-the-earth foods at down-to-earth prices, is set to open its 50th store in Sunnyvale on Wednesday, June 2nd. The 30,865 square-foot market, located at 111 E. El Camino Real, will be the first Northern California location for the family-owned company, joining 13 Southern California locations and 36 other locations throughout Arizona, Colorado and Texas. New locations in Culver City, Pasadena and Valencia are scheduled to open later this year.

Sprouts Farmers Market is one of the fastest growing retailers in the country, offering a unique mix of natural, organic and great-tasting foods at remarkably low prices. The store features mountains of colorful produce, many from local growers and farmers, along with an outstanding selection of all natural meats, fresh seafood delivered up to six days a week and a wonderful variety of grocery, bulk and baked goods. As a modern day grocery store, Sprouts conjures notions of a charming, indoor farmers market, with barrels, wooden crates, natural light and low displays, which make products easily accessible and the market a breeze to get in and out of.

Sprouts, with its playful setting and high quality fresh foods, is a great addition to the fun, active community that has been dubbed the “happiest place in America.” “We are thrilled to open this landmark market — our 50th and first in Northern California — in the city of Sunnyvale and provide local residents with high quality, affordable foods. We welcome new friends from all over the area to come out and enjoy our low prices on great-tasting healthy and natural foods… a perfect fit for this progressive community,” said Doug Sanders, President and COO, Sprouts Farmers Market.

“Grand” opening events:

  • The One Big 5-day sale: $1, $2 and $5 sale on a variety of popular items through Sunday
  • All purchases will be bagged in green reusable Sprouts bags on opening day
  • Basket raffle prizes called out throughout opening day
  • A “cheesy” event on Saturday, June 12th: 9am-5pm: Sarah “The Cheese Lady” Kaufmann will carve a “50” theme into a 300 pound wheel of chipotle cheddar

About Us:
Sprouts Farmers Market was founded in 2002 by one of California’s oldest and most successful entrepreneurial families, the Boneys, who have been in the fresh food business since 1943. Today, Sprouts is still an independent, family-run business and has become one of the fastest growing and most highly regarded retailers in the country. Sprouts offers a large selection of all natural meats, fresh seafood, bins full of bulk foods, an extensive selection of natural and organic grocery items, a broad array of vitamins and supplements, healthy body care alternatives and more. For weekly ads and other nutritional information visit sprouts.com/press. Store hours: 7am-10pm daily.

T-Mobile your customer service needs help

This is a followup to a post a few weeks ago about a horrible experience with T-Mobile customer service. So today I received a bill in the mail for $3.28! Yes, after numerous bills and calls all claiming I owed money with different balances, and when I called and asked for a statement to be sent, it apparently was not possible??? And asked that the rep confirm the amount due so that I could pay and be finished with T-Mobile, was given an amount and paid it.

Odd thing is that T-Mobile cuts access to your account once you cancel one of your lines, not even to pay a bill, you have to pay with a credit card over the phone, yes you can’t pay online!
On top of this to add insult to injury, T-Mobile can’t give you a case number or ticket number when you call to get help and discuss something with them. So what record do I have that I called and talked with someone???? Oh, yeah, you get the reps name and badge number, I lost track of the number of times I would talk to a rep at TMobile and would call back and say I talked to someone, and the rep would say, we have no record of you calling… jeez..
A call tracking/ticket system is a must!!!! Otherwise how can a customer have any recourse with some tracking, there is no way a rep is going to remember talking to someone, they people talk to hundreds of people a day.

Overall, after almost ten years with T-Mobile, I would avoid T-Mobile where possible, there service is inferior to the other carriers. To top it off, the customer service reps are trained and come off as kinda snooty, some with an attitude. Not a pleasant experience. I am much happier not being with T-Mobile.

I’m sharing this experience with my readers so they can read about my experience. I had three accounts with T-Mobile and several other family members who also had accounts, most of them are not switched over to other companies, like AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon and they are all much happier.

The two reps I discussed my latest situation with are
REP ID: 0757745
REP ID: 0757069 – Darryl T, supposedly a manager, supervisor.

Bluehost Sites Down Power Outage

May 25, 2010 Bluehost suffered a major outage.

If you are like me you suffered through the power outage that affected some 6 million websites, yes a large majority of 6, 000,000 sites went dark or unresponsive as Bluehost suffered a prolonged power outage as the city of Provo lost power.

Bluehost claims that sites in Orem where not affected. One of my sites actually stayed up, but was very very slow…

Bluehost power outage, half of their boxes down. They have 2 locations (Provo & Orem) & redundancy in place, long outages hurt any host.


Bluehost.com Web Hosting $6.95

Details are:

The scoop on the #bluehost outage today. Workers disconnected power in the city by mistake. DOH! https://ow.ly/1PTbw

suffered an extended power outage. Their UPS lasted only 45 minutes. It appears that they have no backup generator.

First time I’ve had outage with #bluehost. 2 hours. From blabber, youd think bluehost was crap. 2/8760 in a year.Ill take it at that price.

Does Bluehost have a generator? Most likely not, because if they did the sites would have stayed up.

The fact that their status page showed all the sites where up is of concern. The thing about Bluehost that is troubling is their attitude on many occasions where the make you feel like it is all your fault, why are you bothering them. A bad attitude to take no matter how many websites you have, because as we have seen companies can come crashing down pretty quick with user backlash.

The thing about hosting companies is that they have users over a barrel, if you are looking to transfer your site, start working on it now.

Some options for those of you that need a hosting company:
LiquidWeb has a great power redundancy, support is excellent.

Good thing is that the outage lasted only a short period and things are back up now. But as is always is the case, what did bluehost learn from this? Are they talking about it?

Web Hosting $6.95 Per Month / Free Domain

You can read Matt Heaton CEO of Bluehost Blog here which has NO information about the outage.
https://www.mattheaton.com/

I have written about this before. Why is there such a lack of communication on the part of a “technology” company. I don’t think bluehost even has a twitter account, they posted nothing about the outage that I am aware of, basically others had to post about the outage on twitter and facebook, blogs, etc..

The day before the power outage, it appears that Matt Heaton’s blog has hacked:

Dr. Siegal’s COOKIE DIET™ Featured in Two-Hour E! Entertainment Network Special This Weekend


E! Entertainment Network Special Includes Interviews with Dr. Siegal’s COOKIE DIET™ Creator Sanford Siegal, D.O., M.D., and His Patients

Miami, FL (PRWEB) January 2, 2008 — Dr. Siegal’s Direct Nutritionals LLC, the global distributor of Dr. Siegal’s® COOKIE DIET™ products and operator of the CookieDietOnline.com web site, today announced that Dr. Sanford Siegal’s 33 year old weight loss system and hunger-controlling meal replacement cookies, shakes and soup will be featured in a two-hour THS Investigates special on E! Entertainment Network this Saturday at 5pm and Sunday at noon and 8pm EST. The cable network recently spent a day in Dr. Siegal’s Miami clinic speaking to patients who’ve lost weight on the cookie-based diet system developed in 1975 by the renowned physician, author, and obesity expert. Among the patients who were interviewed by E! were a married couple who together lost more than 100 pounds.

“I was flattered when the True Hollywood Stories producers at E! asked to spend a day at Siegal Medical Group observing how we’ve used Dr. Siegal’s® COOKIE DIET™ in our own medical practice for more than thirty years. I know that E! focuses on entertainment rather than news so I was impressed by the producers’ eagerness to understand the science behind what has been a very successful weight loss system, ” said Dr. Siegal. “We talked for hours, not just about Dr. Siegal’s® COOKIE DIET™ but also about the history of dieting going back more than a hundred years.”

Dr. Siegal is frequently in the news. Over the years he has been profiled by ABC’s Good Morning America, New York Daily News, CNN, and Fox News Channel. Due to the recent resurgence of interest in hypothyroidism that was sparked by Oprah Winfrey, several media profiles of Dr. Siegal’s book on the subject, Is Your Thyroid Making You Fat? (Warner Books, 2000), are scheduled in early 2008.

“We haven’t seen the E! show yet but we’re looking forward to it. Given that we’ve helped more than a half million people lose weight safely during the past thirty-three years, we’re a little puzzled that they used the word ‘fad’ in the title,” said Matthew Siegal, president and CEO of Dr. Siegal’s Direct Nutritionals, which distributes Dr. Siegal’s products worldwide. “Whenever you deal with the media, you have to be prepared for anything. Producers sometimes sacrifice accuracy for entertainment and ratings. We trust that the producers at True Hollywood Stories are conscientious people and that they will accurately present the Dr. Siegal’s® COOKIE DIET™ success story.”

Dr. Siegal conceived the idea of a cookie-based diet in the early 1970’s while researching his book on the role of the hypothalamus in satiety and weight loss. Recognizing that hunger is the main reason why most diets fail, Dr. Siegal created a proprietary blend of amino acid food proteins that provides unusually strong hunger suppression per calorie. He baked his protein blend into a cookie and found that it enabled his patients to faithfully adhere to the reduced calorie diet that he prescribes and monitors. He later developed diet shakes and diet soup with the same hunger-suppressing quality. More than 500,000 people have since used the products, and hundreds of other doctors have provided them to patients in their own medical practices. Dr. Siegal manufactures all of his foods in his private bakery in Miami.

Dr. Siegal’s® COOKIE DIET™ hunger-controlling foods and nutritional supplements are available by phone 24/7 at 866-464-5595 toll-free; online at CookieDietOnline.com; and from select doctors, drug stores and retailers. They’re also available at Dr. Siegal’s® COOKIE DIET™ kiosks in Paradise Valley Mall in Phoenix, AZ; Boca Raton Town Center Mall in Boca Raton, FL; and Moorestown Mall near the Philadelphia suburb of Cherry Hill, NJ. A second Phoenix location will open on January 11th at Chandler Fashion Center. More kiosks will open each month throughout 2008.
