My Nonprofit Reviews
Michele M
Review for Stanford Settlement, Inc., Sacramento, CA, USA
I first learned about Stanford Settlement when my daughter worked for its Children's Program. Stories told revealed many of the kids faced difficult circumstances in their lives and it was obvious Stanford was their safe haven. This was not a place just to "hang out", but also a place that gave kids a sense of belonging and hope for their future. The program includes planned activities that are fun, but also teach social skills, self-confidence, and decision-making. When a child is facing specific social or academic difficulties, Stanford's professional staff connects with the kids' school and parents or guardians to help resolve those issues.
Children ought to have hope and a chance to succeed in life, and Stanford provides that to kids who otherwise might have no encouragement, support, or direction. Because kids mean so much to me and I believe in what Stanford does, I support Stanford by attending its events, and now serve on its Board. But Stanford does even more; it offers a variety of programs and services to the entire family, including teens through its Teen Center program and seniors through its Senior Center program! For over 75 years Stanford's professional, caring and dedicated staff have been a guiding light to many citizens of our community.
If you want to make a difference in the lives of others by supporting this worthwhile organization, I hope you will take the time to learn more about Stanford Settlement – you could not be disappointed. Michele Mercado

Act Test Tutoring Palo Alto Ca
Duke Graduate • 18 Years Experience • Over 1500 Students
I can help. Working with high school students for over 18 years, I have developed a philosophy supported by skills and techniques proven to result in superb SAT Tutoring and ACT test results.
We all move through the world with a self-image that sets what we believe we are capable of. This self-image often under serves our potential because it has been formed by a hodge-podge of experiences, some encouraging and affirming, others anything but. The sense of self is malleable particularly in young people.
I work to expose their doubts and fears as more imagined than real and to convince them that they are much more capable than they realize. This serves the all-important self-image in a very powerful way. It not only results in vastly improved standardized scores but also recalibrates the belief in what's possible.
As I work with my students, I never lose sight of my real objective. I may be helping them ace their standardized tests, but ultimately I am elevating more than just a score.
My program is not a traditional "one on one" tutoring situation. I have learned from my almost two decades of experience that there is a better and less painful way to prepare kids for these tests. Over the course of each 2-hour session, students meet with me for three private, one-on-one conferences (totaling about 20 minutes per student, each session),
The value of each 2 hour session is multi-faceted:
- Self-timed sections in a group environment similar to the actual testing environment
- Immediate correction of mistakes and tutoring to specific content or errors
- Test taking strategies given as they arise during test taking, making them more relevant and easier to remember and apply
- Confidence building with every interaction
- Session by session readjustment of areas of focus based on observable progress
Investments of time and money vary from student to student. Regardless of ability, students that complete the number of sessions we agree to upfront have a great chance of meeting or surpassing their test prep objectives.
Michael Romano…Hail Mary Hero! With only two weeks to the test date and a big score to make, Michael created a great plan, encouraged our son to maximum effort, plus gave him the confidence he needed to believe in the outcome. The end result was a huge win, 330 points!…and…a solid score for Ivy League options as a scholar/athlete. Highly recommend Michael's test prep style and service! He has the magic recipe. – Kathy Adzich (Cupertino)
When I first met Michael Romano during the summer heading into my junior year, I had already tried out two other test prep agencies and was in need of a solid foundation for my SAT and ACT preparation. I knew I was at least a decent student in school, and often felt disappointed with my practice scores because I knew I could do much better. Looking back, attending Mr. Test Prep sessions rewarded me in more ways than one. I stopped dreading the cycle of practicing, evaluating, and trying to improve on my performance because Michael engaged with me in a manner that no other tutor had before. It helped that the two of us both possessed a potent passion for basketball, but it's always been clear that Michael enjoys getting to know each and every one of his students, no matter what their initial practice PSAT score is . I was immediately taken back by Michael's first individual meeting with me. Unlike other prep agencies who had seen years of students pass through their doors, Michael made an effort to become my friend and even asked me about my life outside of school and test prep. Michael was uniquely skilled in discovering my strengths and weaknesses right from our first week of sessions, and within a few months, my SAT score had jumped over 200 points. In just a few months. The two of us developed and embraced a healthy rhythm to keep me on track for achieving my full potential, attending sessions about twice a week, while balancing my school schedule with my hobbies and interests. Michael has made a huge impact on so many students over his 18 years of dominating test prep, and I'll remember him for his fun personality and our memorable talks just as much as his great advice and superior knowledge. Thanks Michael, for providing me with confidence, all of our Golden State Warrior debates, and of course, – "DAZZLE ME, DON'T FRAZZLE ME!" Josh Yuen, Palo Alto High School Class of 2016, University of California, Berkeley Class of 2020
Michael is the SAT tutor you could never even imagine existing. He's a fantastic teacher, yes, but the magic of his tutoring comes from his ability to make his students enjoy each and every test prep session. I've worked with Michael for almost everything—the SAT, the PSAT, the ACT, and three SAT Subject tests. For everything from reading comprehension (originally my weakest section, which Michael brought up by over 100 points) to History, he can tell exactly what you need to work on with a simple glance at your responses. He's got an expansive arsenal of techniques and strategies under his belt that he can tailor to each student's individual needs (including a fantastic meditation routine for over-stressed students such as myself). But more than just the technical stuff, Michael cares for every student. You'd never imagine that he's had countless students working with him because he makes an effort to get to know you. When I talked about my writing, he made an effort to read my stories—and then remembered everything about them and even showed me a song he composed that reminded him of the plot. He even wrote me a recommendation letter for a writing camp I got into! And that's what makes him an SAT tutor who (to put it in his words) dazzles you rather than frazzles you. Every time I had a tutoring session, I looked forward to it, and when I was there, his support for me not only as a standardized test taker but also as a writer, a high school student, and a person gave me the energy to do my best on each practice test and remember all the tips he taught me.Honestly, the time I've spent with Michael is absolutely priceless. Even if a fairy could come down from the sky and grant me a 2500/2400 on the SAT, I wouldn't trade the time I've spent with him for it. Michael is not only, for the lack of a better word, Unreal as an SAT tutor, but also an incredible human being who will give you the tools to Succeed at Life. Bless you, Michael, even this monstrously long testimonial can't scratch the surface of how grateful I am for the experience of working with you. Infinity times, thank you. – Anastasia W. (Atherton, CA), Menlo School, Class of 2015, Johns Hopkins University, Class of 2019

Blog date Nov 17
OK I have a question to ask. As you all know I have a Kawasaki Z250SL. The other week Ren and I was waiting en masse to do the M60 Ring of Red. Surrounded by bikers we do what bikers usually do, we talk bikes.
Now a few folks liked my bike saying it was a nice looking bike etc. However during the course of conversation I overheard the following -
"A 250 is OK but it is not enough to get you out of trouble."
This is not the first time I have heard this. I personally have no idea what kind of trouble I am supposed to be getting into let alone out of.
You see to me the obvious answer to trouble - especially when riding a motorbike is to do your utmost to avoid it in the first place. If you are not in trouble you won't need to get out of it.
However the trouble with trouble is you might not see it coming. So in this case I could not employ my usual tactic of trying to avoid trouble in the first place. So therefore I ask what kind of trouble would find me in a more dangerous situation on a 250cc than someone with a larger cc bike?
I can only assume it will be something to do with either acceleration or speed.
Do I need V8 power to be sure of getting out of trouble?
Now if you are going to answer with overtaking then let me stop you right there. Junctions and overtaking are where most accidents occur. So we know overtaking is risky, possibly even dangerous in some situations. You may be thinking with extra speed and or acceleration a bigger bike could save you if the overtaking did somehow go wrong. Such as a car approaching faster than anticipated from the opposite direction. Or the vehicle you are overtaking suddenly decides it's a race. So in theory in such a scenario more power would save me...right?
I say no for this scenario because we all know the capability of our bikes. Or rather we should know them. An overtake is a judgement call. We have to consider our field of vision, the layout of the road ahead, other vehicles etc. From that information we then make the decision to overtake or not. Being on a smaller bike that means I will have less power therefore overtaking opportunities will be less. So less possibilities on a smaller cc bike but no more dangerous.
Fewer overtaking opportunities means fewer risks and more smiles.
One of the reasons an overtake could potentially become dangerous is if I misjudged the overtaking for one of the reasons stated earlier. Then you may say more power would have got me out of trouble right?
Once again I say no. Because as all overtaking is a judgement call if I had been on a bigger bike then the chances are I would have judged my overtake on the power and speed of the bike I was riding and not on the power of a 250cc.
On my 125 cc unless the road is clear for miles and all I am overtaking is a donkey then for the most part I just don't bother trying because it is simply too risky. It is also highly embarrassing when you suddenly realise you are going uphill and there is no more power and you have to pull in back behind the car you were trying to overtake. Yes I still carry that shame.
So anyway it is I who make the judgement. Similarly when on my 250cc I now overtake more often because the extra power in the bike allows for more opportunities. Similarly again if I had an even more powerful bike then once again those opportunities will increase. However although overtaking opportunities are increased by the motorbikes cc size safety is not.
Why? Because we use our judgement and we will potentially push, if we are that way inclined, which ever bike we are on at the time to the max. We put the CCs of the bike into our judgemental equation. Therefore the risk and the potential for trouble remains the same for every bike. In overtaking it is our own error in judgement that could land us is trouble and that potential will remain constant throughout the cc range.
On a bigger bike you would on judgement overtake with an oncoming vehicle closer than you would on a smaller cc bike. If you misjudged their speed then due to the smaller gap you will be trouble. Your ccs won't save you because you may have already put them into the equation when you made the judgement for the overtake. You are already maxed out.
So in conclusion if larger ccs only increase the opportunity of overtaking and not the safety of an overtake then the bike least likely to get you into trouble is the good old 125cc. With less opportunity to overtake there will be reduced overtakes actually occurring. As overtaking is one of the places where most accidents occur you have in fact reduced the likelihood of trouble and an accident by riding a smaller bike.
Proportionally if you overtake more on a larger bike due to more opportunities then the potential for misjudgement or a unexpected occurrence on anyone of those increased overtakes increases. If you are overtaking more frequently you are more often in a potentially troublesome situation. Therefore a bigger cc bike is more likely to get you into trouble in the first place.
So that's my thinking. Let me know yours.
Finally let me ask again can you think of any situation where a 250 cc would be incapable of getting me out of trouble where a larger bike could have???

And what if there was a Sweden on the Saint-Lawrence?
Comparing inequality between societies is useful, if only to remind us that inequality is not like gravity: there is no "law of inequality". Political choices matter. True, worsening inequality trends across the OECD countries indicate important structural forces are at work in labour markets and in making it harder for governments to redistribute wealth. But significant variation persists between countries, meaning that we are not fated to become ever more deeply unequal.Read more
Leah Levac: Equitable Participation in Policy-Making
Many of the growing social and economic inequalities visible in Canada today are rooted in, or enabled by, inequitable public policies. The impacts of policies on diverse groups of people are not adequately considered, and the result is often unequal access to programs and services. This inequality creates a problem of fairness (inequity). For example, in my city of Fredericton, NB, if you live in an apartment, you probably don't have your recycling picked up. If you live in a house, your recycling is picked up every week. Your experience differs depending on whether you're a renter or a homeowner. In our country, you may not have access to clean drinking water if you reside in a rural area where logging is a major industry. If you live in an urban area in Canada, you almost certainly have clean drinking water. You have a different experience depending on whether you have access to a good water treatment system, and whether you reside close to a natural resource extraction industry. In my city, my province, and our country, you cannot vote until you're 18 years old. Access to an important piece of our democracy depends on your age.Read more
Miles Corak: Inequality and life chances
While it is now only just over a year since the Occupy Wall Street movement began to draw attention to the wide and growing gulf between the 1% and the 99%, many have been quick to dismiss its staying power. After all, it was pointed out from the very beginning that the Occupy movement really did not have much to offer in terms of concrete policy proposals. Asked by the Wall Street Journal last October about his views on OWS, Martin Feldstein, the prominent Harvard economist, could only say: "I can't figure out what that's all about…I haven't seen what they're asking for."
But the vagueness OWS projects in terms of its policy proposals is hardly a basis for dismissing its significance.Read more
Inequality's a problem for Canada, too
I don't know whether it's smugness or indifference, but we Canadians can be a self-deluding lot. Growing inequality, portrayed recently in The Economist as a global scourge, when viewed from Canada, seems to be a problem only for others.
After all, it was other countries' banks that crashed in 2008. It's in southern Europe that tens of thousands are taking to the streets. And it was in France and the United States that recent elections were fought over the fact that those who created the mess, the top 1 per cent, are still getting big bonuses and low tax rates.Read more

MUZ Project focuses on mixed use areas
Can you walk from your home to a grocery store or eatery?
That's one simple measure of a convenient walkable neighborhood. These days, more Portlanders want to live in neighborhoods with convenient services, a variety of housing choices and good transit options that offer connections to jobs.
Portland's new Comprehensive Plan aims to ensure that as the city grows, more residents and businesses will be able to locate in these types of healthy connected neighborhoods. The City's long-range plan for population and employment growth proposes to focus development and investments in housing, businesses and services in mixed use "centers" and "corridors" throughout the city (see other stories in this issue). This approach will both accommodate future growth and advance goals for creating more convenient, walkable neighborhoods.
But not all centers and corridors are alike, and residents, business owners, designers and developers have been looking for clarity, change and consistency in the code.
Early implementation for Comprehensive Plan
The Mixed Use Zones Project, which got underway in early 2014 and is partially funded by a Metro Construction Excise Tax (CET) grant, will develop new mixed use zoning designations to help implement Portland's new Comprehensive Plan. The project will revise the City's Commercial (CX, CG, CS, CM, CO1/2, CN1/2) and Central Employment (EX) zones that are applied outside of the Central City.
The objective is to refine these zones so they can better support thriving business districts and accommodate more households and businesses. The project will also address issues that arise with newer intensive mixed use forms, such as building mass and bulk, design and context, transitions and step-downs to adjacent residential areas, and active ground floor uses in key centers.
Process and participation
The MUZ Project is advised by a 28-member group of community and small business representatives from across Portland, as well as development and design professionals. The project team has solicited feedback from residents and businesses through community "walkabouts" in seven neighborhoods last spring. Staff also held "Designer, Developer and Small Business Roundtables" with technical experts in mixed use development, architecture/design, affordable housing and neighborhood small business.
Upcoming public workshop previews code concepts and more
Soon Portlanders will be able to preview code concepts and issues being addressed at a Code Concepts Public Workshop, tentatively scheduled for early late October/early November. Please visit the website (www.portlandoregon.gov/bps/mixeduse) for exact date, time and location. Additional public workshops are planned for the December/January and spring 2015. So stay tuned!

Sir Andy throws support behind T20 World Cup
ST JOHN'S, Antigua,( CMC):
West Indies fast bowling legend Sir Andy Roberts joined scores of cricket fans on the streets of the capital city last weekend in a promotional drive to get fans upbeat ahead of the ICC Women's Twenty20 World Cup next month.
The two-time 50-overs World Cup winner, who was recently unveiled as an ambassador for Cricket West Indies, used the time to interact with fans and handed out event memorabilia.
He also posed for photos and presented match tickets to a few lucky prize winners.
"I was asked, and I graciously accepted, the invitation to join the CWI programme because of my love for cricket," the cricket icon said.
"I will do whatever I can for West Indies cricket, and this is my small contribution to the women's game, which we can all see is growing all around the world, and we are seeing evidence of that growth here in our region," he said.
Sir Andy is one of three former West Indies players who have been chosen by CWI to help promote the November 9-24 event, with two-time World Cup-winning captain Darren Sammy and legendary left-hander Shiv Chanderpaul also involved.
In the build-up to the tournament, Sir Andy is expected to participate in other community outreach activities. The next major activity is expected to be the launch of ticket sales at box offices on Monday, October 29.
"I am hoping that the people of Antigua come out in their numbers. I would love to see our Windies team reach the semi-finals and move on from there. That would definitely help to boost the numbers for the matches here in Antigua."
This is the first time the Women's T20 World Cup is being staged as a stand-alone event.
The preliminary rounds are scheduled to run from November 9-18 at the Guyana National Stadium, Guyana, and the Darren Sammy Cricket Ground in St Lucia.
The semi-finals and final will be played at the Vivian Richards Cricket Ground in Antigua.
West Indies, who are defending champions, headline Group A along with England, South Africa, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh, while Australia, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, and Ireland comprise Group B.

West Nile Virus confirmed in South Meadows area
First positive WNV mosquito pool of 2017 reported
Media Release
For Immediate Release
Contact: Scott Oxarart
775.328.2414 or 775.276.1021
"Because of the heavy precipitation this winter and the prolonged heatwave over the past couple of weeks, it is not surprising that we are seeing West Nile Virus in the area," said Washoe County Health District Communications Manager Phil Ulibarri. "The weather has been particularly hot and humid offering prime breeding factors for mosquitos." While fogging represents increased prevention efforts by the Health District, and helicopter abatement efforts are scheduled every month this summer, Ulibarri reminds everyone that there are steps you can take personally to avoid being bitten by mosquitos that carry disease.
How to avoid mosquito bites:
- Wear proper clothing and repellent if going outdoors when mosquitos are most active in the early morning and evening;
- Use a repellant containing DEET, picaradin, oil of lemon eucalyptus, or IR3535 according to label instructions. Repellents keep the mosquitos from biting you. DEET can be used safely on infants and children 2 months of age and older. Applications can be put directly on the skin and also on clothing;
- Make sure that your doors and windows have tight-fitting screens to keep mosquitos out. Repair or replace screens with tears or holes;
- Clear standing water and any items from around homes that can be potential mosquito breeding-grounds, including small puddles, pools, planters, children's sandboxes, wagons or toys, underneath and around faucets, as well as plant saucers and pet bowls; and,
- Vaccinate your horses for WNV.
Residents may report night-time mosquito activity to the Health District at 785-4599 or 328-2434.

Competitors are training and raising funds for the 11th annual Dean Randazzo Cancer Foundation Paddle For A Cause presented by Curexa and in memory and honor of Karen Grant. Racers will compete for their share of more than $5,000 in prize money.
Paddleboarders and rowers from around the world will participate in various events throughout the waterways Saturday, June 9 at Golden Nugget Atlantic City. There are 4-mile and 8-mile fun paddles that navigate the back bays to The Wonder Bar.
The marquee event is the 22.5-mile race around Absecon Island, which draws paddleboarding and rowing competitors from around the world and offers prizes for men's and women's prone and stand-up paddleboarding divisions. Paddleboarding teams can also complete the 22.5-mile as a relay and an open division welcomes all kayaks, outrigger canoe, surf ski and lifeguard boats in solo race and team relay formats.
The course was designed to challenge racers as a reminder that they are helping people struggling with cancer. Registration is now open. There is also a virtual paddling event for those who want to take part in the event without getting wet.
All paddlers and virtual paddlers are required to fundraise $200 to participate with proceeds benefiting the foundation, a nonprofit organization that provides grants to financially assist people with cancer. Virtual paddlers who raise the minimum $200 entry fee will receive a swag bag, entry into the after party and race gear that is provided to all paddlers.
This year, the event will be dedicated to the memory of Karen Grant who passed away this April. Grant was a recipient of the generosity of the Foundation in 2013 when she was diagnosed with Primary Peritoneal Cancer. She said wanted to give back to the DRCF once she was healthy enough to contribute. She became a board member shortly after a was the top fundraiser at last year's Paddle For A Cause.
"She was so committed and passionate with what was a priority in her life, one of which was obviously the DRCF, as she served as one of the most dedicated members on our board up until this dreadful disease took her life," said foundation president Mark Zappone.
Last year, more than 120 participants helped the Dean Randazzo Cancer Foundation surpass its $100,000 goal by $10,000. Prize money will be awarded in each of the following categories: men's and women's 14-foot and less stand-up paddleboard and prone unlimited; $800 for first, $350 for second and $150 for third.
After the action on the water, an after party and awards ceremony will be held 4 p.m. at The Deck at Golden Nugget. The party is included with registration and $25 to all others.
Residents with homes along paddle course Atlantic City, Ventnor, Margate and Longport are encouraged to show support the paddlers as they pass. Businesses can support the event by becoming a sponsor.

Believe it or not, many people outside of the region still don't see us as we really are. Some even think we all still work down the pit or in the shipyards! These outdated perceptions are stopping them coming here and seeing what we're all about. And the more companies that invest here, the more people that come here to work, to study, to live, the more the local economy will benefit. That means more jobs, more money, more facilities, more for everyone to enjoy.
It's a question of pride too: we all want to live in a place we're proud of. Where our achievements are recognised and celebrated. This is our chance.
By becoming an Ambassador you're guaranteeing a brighter future for NewcastleGateshead. And who wouldn't want that?

Adam Wildman is Deputy Chief of Staff for the GLA Conservatives and a local Conservative candidate for Bexley council. He writes in a personal capacity.
Most readers will no doubt be aware of the importance of air quality. It is often reported that breathing in harmful gases causes complications for those with heart or lung conditions, and that living in high polluting areas over a long period can affect end of life mortality. But what is not so often reported is that air quality in the UK has been consistently improving for over 40 years now.
One would not appreciate this from reading recent headlines. Just last week, the former Mayor of New York, Michael Bloomberg, claimed that the UK's levels of nitrogen oxide had reached "emergency levels". The Labour Party also branded the levels of pollution in our towns and cities as a "national scandal". But such scaremongering detracts from the truth of the matter.
Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) and particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) are the primary pollutants that negatively affect our health. What is almost never said is that, since 1970, PM10 emissions have fallen by 73 per cent and PM2.5 emissions by 76 per cent. Also, NOx emissions have fallen by just under 69 per cent. Indeed, NOx emissions have fallen every year since 1991 bar one, where levels remained flat. Britain's track record on reducing air pollutants is a continuing success; a message almost completely absent from media reporting.
The international standards for air quality are set at the UN level, and are contained within the UNECE Gothenburg Protocol. This details the reduction required by 2020 for volatile organic compounds (air pollutants). On current trends and without further intervention, the UK is on track to meet its international commitments. Real data on UK air quality exposes the rhetoric of the Labour Party, and the Left in general, as nothing more than shameless scaremongering.
Such scare tactics are potentially harmful to the average British motorist, who so often bear the brunt of the 'green' taxes advocated by the Left. It is often ignored that road transport accounts for just 15 per cent of total emissions, despite the fact that car passenger hours have doubled since 1970. The majority of emissions are non-transport related, such as wood-fire home combustion, building site emissions, industrial processes or inefficient boilers. It is actually the case that homes with inefficient boilers have NO2 levels that often exceed those measured at the road side.
Motorists need to catch a break. UK fuel duty and VAT now amount to approximately 70 per cent of the price at the pumps. Since the financial crash, while living costs have increased on average by 30 per cent, motor insurance and taxes have increased by a staggering 143 per cent. Imposing additional motoring taxes or parking charges in the name of environmentalism would be financially punitive.
This is why the Prime Minister's noises about a diesel scrappage scheme are to be welcomed. Such a scheme would undo the damage caused by the last Labour government. Back in 2001, Labour cut Vehicle Excise Duty on diesel cars in order to promote low-carbon alternatives. While it was a success on this measure, the policy triggered a steep increase in diesel car ownership. Given that diesel cars emit four times the levels of nitrogen oxide as petrol cars and 22 times more particulates, this had implications for air quality.
Theresa May's scheme will likely target poorer drivers and help them to purchase low-emission vehicles. The payments could be as much as £2,000 and will provide a strong incentive for diesel drivers to switch. While the levels of poor air have been over-hyped, there is no doubt that more needs to done to continue Britain's good performance in improving air quality. Encouraging poorer drivers to purchase low-emission vehicles would do just that.
Looking beyond this policy, in the upcoming Conservative manifesto the Prime Minister should also commit to ensuring that no new 'green' or 'clean air' taxes are imposed on hard-up motorists. The current emissions standards have done a good job of slowly and sensitively shifting drivers towards less-polluting vehicles. The market should be allowed to continue its good work.
During the general election and beyond, it is for us as Conservatives to oppose the spurious claims of the Labour Party on air quality. We should not let the Left's virtue-signalling and scaremongering convince us that imposing further penalties on drivers would be a good idea. The 'Just About Managing' class would certainly not thank us for doing so.

Are steroids illegal? The advice from FRANK, which is a friendly confidential drug advisory service, says anabolic steroids are a Class C drug, to be sold only by pharmacists with a doctor's prescription.
It's legal to possess or import steroids, as long as they are for personal use using the postal courier or freight services.
Possession or importing with intent to supply, which includes giving them to friends, is illegal and could lead to up to 14 years in prison and an unlimited fine.
I believe this drug is a sleeping problem that needs to be addressed and after speaking to Steve McLaughlin, I think it's a major problem in this country that's not talked about enough.
Steve wrote a book called Squaddies, which was very successful.
He then felt the need to write another called Clubland UK. Steve was a doorman for three years in the 90s in Blackpool, which had and still has a vibrant bar and club culture.
His book deals with his early life and then moves onto his career in a sometimes dark violent industry where anabolic steroids rear their ugly head.
He was trained in martial arts, so he knows how to protect himself. While I was interviewing him I did feel a little uneasy, especially when I asked him if he enjoys violence. His answer – "If I'm in control, I suppose yes I do. I've been arrested twice, I seem to be drawn to violence. When I started doing the doors I was looking for excitement and danger, so the job gave me a buzz."
He then started talking about the problem of steroids: "At the beginning I turned a blind eye to what I saw. I never became a dealer, though there was a chance of making some real money doing it.
"There are gyms all over the country where steroids are taken and sold, doormen train alongside a lot of policemen, all there to build muscle and bulk, working side by side, in some cases, the police leaving themselves open to blackmail.
"Aggression and anger – which is called roid rage – go hand in hand with this drug. You will see their behaviour change drastically."
Steve maintains the problem is bigger than we know. I asked him if he saw steroid abuse when he was in the army.
He said: "Definitely not, the army cracks down on it and does random testing all of the time. If they find users, it's an instant dishonourable discharge."
I asked Steve: "Have you ever taken them?"
He said: "yes, but I stopped very quickly when I saw the side effects. In the night-time black economy there are many honest doormen who have been tempted to deal but have resisted."
Thinking back to my own club days, I realise how door staff have changed.
The governor for me was Big Arthur at the Shakespeare Theatre Club. The last thing he did was resort to violence, he was a diplomat but he could handle himself.
I think the door registration was a good idea and got rid of a lot of thugs from the industry. But there are still some bad doormen with a badge.
Make no mistake, these days they have a job and a half, some of the customers who are coked up to the eyeballs, and also drinking copious amounts of alcohol, are out of control.
Their attitude stinks and they are walking time bombs.
How some door staff hold back I will never know. Sadly in some cases they don't. When these idiots are removed from the premises, all hell lets loose with their friends.
For example, on Mother's Day this year I found tremendous aggression from women, who have discovered if they take cocaine it can prolong their drinking time.
Getting back to steroids, more and more film stars and celebrities are using them.
Have a read of Steve's book Clubland UK. I wonder how many of you have someone you know on steroids?
Their attitude, temperament and personality will have changed, and I bet it's not for the better.
I really think this is a major problem.

How to Adjust an Aluminum Screen Door
Aluminum screen doors come installed with automatic closers. Over time, this closer can get out of adjustment so that it either slams the door shut or doesn't quite close it all the way. If it doesn't close, that defeats part of the purpose of a screen door. Worse, if you allow it to continue slamming shut, other components of the door can become damaged. Fortunately, you can usually fix the problem in minutes.
Lock the door open. On the side of the door closer that extends out toward the door opening, there is a washer. If you open the door and slide that washer against the closer, it will remain locked open.
Move the pin that holds the closer to the door. There will be two or three locations this pin can be inserted into depending on the door. Try each one and test the closer. This will either solve the problem or make it worse. If it makes it worse, replace it in the original position.
Turn the adjustment screw to make the door close harder or software. Turn the adjustment screw on the end of the closer barrel a quarter turn in one direction. Test the closer. If the problem is worse, turn it back in the other direction. Continue adjusting until the door closes exactly right.
Things Needed
- Screwdriver
- Some doors have two closers. If this is the case, make the same adjustments to both closers. Not doing so could cause the door to warp over time.
- If the hold-open washer doesn't work, open the door and use a pair of locking pliers on the shaft to keep the door from closing. Worst case, just prop it open with something heavy.

No one creates realms like New York Times bestselling author Anne Bishop. Now in a thrilling new fantasy series, enter a world inhabited by the Others, unearthly entities—vampires and shape-shifters among them—who rule the Earth and whose prey are humans. As a cassandra sangue, or blood prophet, Meg Corbyn can see the future when her skin is cut—a gift that feels more like a curse. Meg's Controller keeps her enslaved so he can have full access to her visions. But when she escapes, the only safe place Meg can hide is at the Lakeside Courtyard—a business district operated by the Others. Shape-shifter Simon Wolfgard is reluctant to hire the stranger who inquires about the Human Liaison job. First, he senses she's keeping a secret, and second, she doesn't smell like human prey. Yet a stronger instinct propels him to give Meg the job. And when he learns the truth about Meg and that she's wanted by the government, he'll have to decide if she's worth the fight between humans and the Others that will surely follow.
Brilliant and refreshing with outstanding world-building I credit this audio with igniting my passion for audiobooks 🙂

After winning the trust of the terra indigene residing in the Lakeside Courtyard, Meg Corbyn has had trouble figuring out what it means to live among them. As a human, Meg should be barely tolerated prey, but her abilities as a cassandra sangue make her something more. The appearance of two addictive drugs has sparked violence between the humans and the Others, resulting in the murder of both species in nearby cities. So when Meg has a dream about blood and black feathers in the snow, Simon Wolfgard – Lakeside's shape-shifting leader – wonders if their blood prophet dreamed of a past attack or a future threat. As the urge to speak prophecies strikes Meg more frequently, trouble finds its way inside the Courtyard. Now, the Others and the handful of humans residing there must work together to stop the man bent on reclaiming their blood prophet – and stop the danger that threatens to destroy them all.
I am love with this series and the narrator brilliantly brings the world and characters to life highlighting the talents of Bishop.

A blazingly inventive near-future thriller from the best-selling, Hugo Award-winning John Scalzi. Not too long from today, a new, highly contagious virus makes its way across the globe. Most who get sick experience nothing worse than flu, fever, and headaches. But for the unlucky one percent – and nearly five million souls in the United States alone – the disease causes "Lock In": Victims fully awake and aware, but unable to move or respond to stimulus. The disease affects young, old, rich, poor, people of every color and creed. The world changes to meet the challenge. A quarter of a century later, in a world shaped by what's now known as "Haden's syndrome", rookie FBI agent Chris Shane is paired with veteran agent Leslie Vann. The two of them are assigned what appears to be a Haden-related murder at the Watergate Hotel, with a suspect who is an "integrator" – someone who can let the locked in borrow their bodies for a time. If the Integrator was carrying a Haden client, then naming the suspect for the murder becomes that much more complicated. But "complicated" doesn't begin to describe it. As Shane and Vann began to unravel the threads of the murder, it becomes clear that the real mystery – and the real crime – is bigger than anyone could have imagined.
Love the world Scalzi created and cannot wait to return.

When a beautiful, aspiring writer strides into the East Village bookstore where Joe Goldberg works, he does what anyone would do: he Googles the name on her credit card. There is only one Guinevere Beck in New York City. She has a public Facebook account and Tweets incessantly, telling Joe everything he needs to know: she is simply Beck to her friends, she went to Brown University, she lives on Bank Street, and she'll be at a bar in Brooklyn tonight—the perfect place for a "chance" meeting. As Joe invisibly and obsessively takes control of Beck's life, he orchestrates a series of events to ensure Beck finds herself in his waiting arms. Moving from stalker to boyfriend, Joe transforms himself into Beck's perfect man, all while quietly removing the obstacles that stand in their way—even if it means murder. A terrifying exploration of how vulnerable we all are to stalking and manipulation, debut author Caroline Kepnes delivers a razor-sharp novel for our hyper-connected digital age. You is a compulsively readable page-turner that's being compared to Gone Girl, American Psycho, and Stephen King's Misery.
My review won't post until February 2015 and for that I apologize. Posting ahead and being anal does have it's downfalls. However you must listen to this twisted tale!

Shin Sanbongi should be fully on your radar by now after his appearance in Polar's latest video. SOLO just released a new interview and video that give a bit more of his history, including how he got a spot on Pontus Alv's elusive team.
I was just having fun skating all the time, and then Uru [Uruma Masanori] from Kukunochi hooked me up and helped to get me Polar boards. We went on tour in Japan to the countryside. I first visited Malmö for one week with Uru when I was 20 years old to say hi to Pontus, and then he flowed me boards for three or four years. Two years ago, I was in Sweden. We went on a camping trip, I talked to Pontus, and he said that I joined the team. I was surprised to be welcomed to the team. It was during the same time Andrew Wilson got on.
Watch a short profile video on Sanbongi above, and head over to SOLO's website to read the rest of the interview.

This report provides an estimate of the taxes paid by immigrants in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, which encompasses the federal district and portions of Maryland and Virginia. It compares the tax payments of immigrant households with the contributions of native households between 1999 and 2000.
This report investigates the demographic characteristics and experiences of American retirees abroad through a focused study of two countries—Mexico and Panama—that have exhibited dramatic growth in the population of United States-born seniors in recent years. Findings on the decision-making process of emigrant retirees, their integration experiences, and their impact on local communities are drawn from an analysis of 17 interviews and nine focus group discussions.
En años recientes, un flujo de estadounidenses que aumenta continuamente se ha estado dirigiendo a América Latina, especialmente para su jubilación. A medida de que la generación del "baby boom" envejece, se espera que ese flujo gane velocidad. Los costos médicos que están incrementando, la capacidad cada vez menor de depender en el Seguro Social y las pensiones, y una tecnología de comunicaciones y transporte menos costosa apoyan esta corriente migratoria.
In this volume, the Migration Policy Institute has gathered some of the leading European thinkers to offer insightful counsel and, wherever possible, solutions to Europe's immigration challenges.
This report examines how counterterrorism strategy relates to border security and immigration reform, and how terrorist mobility should be countered. The author argues that terrorist mobility comprises a set of problems distinct from the challenges of managing large-scale global migration.
This report examines the connections between the United States' temporary and permanent systems of admission to the United States. It describes the goals and structure of each system, discusses the relationship between immigrant and nonimmigrant admission flows, and describes the critical data gaps that impede understanding of the underlying realities of immigration to the United States.
This policy brief examines the United States' complex employment-based immigration system, which admits foreign workers through five permanent immigration categories and dozens of nonimmigrant visa categories for temporary workers. It evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of the current demand-driven system and offers recommendations for improvement based on this analysis.
This policy brief compares existing proposals for comprehensive immigration reform by President Bush and the 109th Congress with regard to changes to lawful permanent resident (LPR) admissions, the terms and conditions of nonimmigrant visas, and policy responses to the existing unauthorized immigrant population.
This report explores the complex issues surrounding temporary worker programs by looking at the ways in which the United States has responded to domestic labor shortages from the 1940s through the present. It examines the intent and structure of both historical and existing temporary worker programs, and raises salient policy questions that result from the analysis.
This report seeks to bring new light to the issues of migration by sea—particularly the interception and rescue of "boat people"—by synthesizing key discussion takeaways from an international forum of policymakers, international organizations, NGO representatives, and academics.

Arlington Single-Family homes Foreclosures
Arlington is a village in Washington County, Nebraska, United States. The population was 1,243 at the 2010 census. Arlington is named after Arlington, Virginia.
Arlington was originally called Bell Creek (after nearby Bell Creek) and under the latter name was platted in 1869 when the Sioux City and Pacific Railroad was extended to that point. Due to similarity in name with another place in Nebraska, Bell Creek was renamed Arlington, after the city of Arlington, Virginia, in 1882. Arlington was home to the Marshall Nurseries, an internationally acclaimed nursery credited with inventing the fraxinus pennsylvanica tree species, one of the most common green ash trees planted in the United States of America. Recent history includes the accidental damage to the north wall of the post office.
Arlington is located at 41°27′15″N 96°21′26″W (41.454244, -96.357246).
According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 0.60 square miles (1.55 km2), all land.
Arlington was once home to Molly Ringwald's great-great grandmother.
As of the census of 2010, there were 1,243 people, 495 households, and 344 families living in the village. The population density was 2,071.7 inhabitants per square mile (799.9/km2). There were 524 housing units at an average density of 873.3 per square mile (337.2/km2). The racial makeup of the village was 97.9% White, 0.1% African American, 0.3% Native American, 0.5% Asian, 0.7% from other races, and 0.5% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 2.7% of the population.

We've got the scoop on Tyler Perry's upcoming appearance on "The Real."
Perry, who wears many hats, from producer to director to actor, revealed what it is like to take on the role of new dad.
Speaking of his one-year-old baby boy Aman with model Gelila Bekele, he revealed, "All the clichés are real. He really has changed my life. He's so beautiful and strong and amazing. And he's a… healer for me, 'cause I look at him and see myself as a little boy. And I'm able to give him all the love and all the things that I never had. It's really amazing. It's amazing."
Aman has two very famous godmothers: Oprah Winfrey and Cicely Tyson!
What's Oprah like as a godmother? He teased "not bad," adding, "Cicely Tyson is his godmother, too, so I have to say that or she'll get me. We've got great godparents."
Tyler also revealed the best advice Oprah has given him. "I think the best advice she's given me is about just living in the moment. Just be present in what is going on in your life. For me, I just want to make sure that I'm enjoying it as much as I can. And that's what is so important, you have to enjoy it. If you spend your time wondering and complaining about this and why this isn't right and that isn't right, you're just wasting your time. Just celebrate where you are."

White pines along Connecticut shoreline ailing from two major storms
GREENWICH -- Tree experts say scores of white pines along Connecticut's shoreline could be dead by the end of the year because of damage caused by Tropical Storm Irene in 2011 and Superstorm Sandy last October.
Experts told the http://bit.ly/WTgfhL">Connecticut Post that salt water spray from the storms damaged thousands of white pines along the shore and even miles inland from Greenwich to Stonington. Many trees' needles have turned to a coppery brown.
Sharon Douglas is head of the plant disease office at the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station. She says salt-solutions spread on roads during storms also are damaging white pine roots. White pines don't tolerate salt that well.
Experts say while many white pines will recover, many will not because of other problems including fungal infections in recent years.

Doctors have said it countless times... that the hardest thing for them to do is not prescribing medications or procedures but rather, the little lifestyle changes that affect their patients' health in a big way.
For example, sleeping pills will not be of much help to an insomniac if he refuses to change his habit of downing an espresso every night.
Likewise, no amount of weight-loss pills will have a lasting effect if the patient continues to binge on oily foods and refuses to exercise.
While it's true that good habits should start from young - research shows that people who work out in their 20s have better health and are trimmer in their 40s - it is never too late to change.
It is important to ensure that you embark on these changes in a gradual manner. This will give you a greated chance of success at sticking with them.
One strategy is to change just one habit each month. This gives your body and tastebuds time to adapt. Trying to make all these changes at once can be stressful, and will very likely result in failure.
Remember, changing your habits will only have an impact on your health if the changes are permanent.
Here are some small changes we can adopt today for better health tomorrow.

Crested Coua
While giving a tour at Animal Kingdom today, I came across a crested coua. This bird is indigenous to Madagascar, but can be seen on the Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail. I used the "portrait" mode on the iPhone 7 Plus to snap this shot.

No Voter ID for Black Woman in Tennessee
By Brande Victorian
The year 1960 was the first and only time 96-year-old Dorothy Cooper didn't vote. A new state law in Tennessee that requires a photo ID in order to register may make 2012 her second.
Cooper, after finding out the requirement, set out to get the necessary ID. Rent receipt, lease, voter registration card, and birth certificate in hand, the Chattanooga resident was denied an ID at the Cherokee Boulevard Driver Service Center because her maiden name, Dorothy Alexander, was the one on her birth certificate. Without a marriage certificate she couldn't prove that Cooper is indeed her last name.
State Rep. Tommie Brown, D-Chattanooga, told the ChattanoogaTimes Free Press Cooper's case is an example of how the law "erects barriers" for elderly and poor people who are disproportionately minorities.
"What you do, you suppress the vote," Brown said. "You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure that out. It makes no sense in these economic times that we are shifting our time and resources to this."
Tennessee Department of Safety spokeswoman Dalya Qualls acknowledged in an email to the Free Press that things could have been handled better.
"It is department policy that in order to get a photo ID, a citizen must provide documentation that links their name to the document they are using as primary proof of identity," Qualls wrote. "In this case, since Ms. Cooper's birth certificate (her primary proof of identity) and voter registration card were two different names, the examiner was unable to provide the free ID."
Still, "the examiner should have taken extra steps to determine alternative forms of documentation for Ms. Cooper."
A total of $438,000 was allocated to provide free photo IDs for registered voters who don't have a qualified ID—a move lawmakers said was necessary to prevent voter fraud. A coalition of organizations announced an effort to repeal the law In Nashville on Tuesday.
"This is a nonpartisan issue. It's a fair voting issue," Mary Mancini, Executive Director of Citizen Action, told the Free Press in a phone interview. "It's all about the legislators seeing that the people of Tennessee don't want this law."
After Cooper was denied a photo ID, Charline Kilpatrick, who has been working with residents to get free photo IDs, contacted Hamilton County's Administrator of Elections Charlotte Mullis-Morgan. She recommended that Cooper vote with an absentee ballot which doesn't require a photo ID.

It's February 8th.
"What is so important about the 8th day of February?" you may asked.
Well, today would have been my Meme's birthday. 93 years ago she came into this world.
Routinely for the past six years I have written a post for my grandmother's birthday and I have cried through each and every word.
Today I forgot what February 8th was. I don't think I should take it as a sign of being a bad granddaughter, I think it's the evolution of my grief and state my life is currently in. My mind is very much focused on what this week holds and preparing myself for Rachel's Vineyard this weekend.
About two weeks ago in my search for something else (isn't that how it always happens) I found this treasure I didn't know I had.
When I found it I had a good cry as I ran my fingers across her signature. I was reminded of the one thing I missed so badly when she started her battle with Alzheimer's - her cards. You always knew you would get a card from Meme on your birthday, on Christmas, on mother's day and sometimes just for no reason at all. I wish I could go back and tell the younger me to hold on to all of them, I am so glad this one missed the recycling bin.
I am quite sure that she never thought it would be something that I would frame when she gave it to me ten years ago. I don't think she realized what it meant for her to underline "amazing mother".
I placed the card open in a frame (that I now see could use some cleaning) and hung it right about my desk where most days I feel I need this reminder most.
I am so thankful today for this, for the reminder of her love and her support as I walked the single mother path ten years ago.
And this also confirms that I am her granddaughter - I mean we both excel in grammatical errors. Ha! But I still love it!
Here are the posts I've written on this day

What Happens to the Brain During Hypnosis
As hypnosis becomes increasingly accepted as a viable and effective therapeutic technique, there is more and more public interest in what is actually happening to a person physiologically as they enter a hypnotic trance.
Scientific testing has done away with any mistaken ideas that hypnosis is nothing more than entertainment trickery. We now understand that there are a number of definite, measurable physiological changes that take place in the body, as a person goes into the deep state of relaxation that occurs during hypnosis.
Not unexpectedly, people who are hypnotized experience a significant reduction in their heart rate and blood pressure. However, it is the changes that take place within the brain that are the most interesting.
When studied by scientists using specialized EEG equipment, the brain of a hypnotized individual exhibits an increase in low-frequency brain waves and a decrease in high-frequency brain waves. This unusual condition suggests that while under hypnosis, a person exists in a state somewhere between being asleep and awake. Using MRI and PET scans, scientists have further determined that during hypnosis, brain activity slows down on the left side (usually the hemisphere most active when a person is awake), and increases on the right – the creative hemisphere of the brain.
While more scientific study is needed in order to gain a thorough understanding of the complex physiological changes that take place in the brain and body during hypnosis, it is already apparent that this ancient therapy is responsible for functional alterations in brain waves and brain activity. These results are real and empirical – easily replicated whenever a subject is in a hypnotic trance.
There is no scam or deception involved in hypnosis – this amazing therapy is a natural, holistic method that can produce transformative change within the brain! When used by a professional, trained hypnotherapist, hypnosis offers an incredible, safe, non- invasive technique that can produce life-changing results. In fact, hypnosis can often make a positive difference for people unable to benefit from other more conventional therapies.
Thanks to continued scientific study, people who have been skeptical of hypnosis in the past are now realizing that this alternative therapy is a valuable option for everyone.

Control Diets
Report, Repeat and Revise
When choosing a control diet, one should ask three questions: Can I report it (can I tell others exactly what my animals were fed)? Can I repeat it (is there diet variability and will I be able to get the same results next year)? Can I revise it (as my hypotheses change, can I easily change the dietary components while keeping it otherwise matched to previous diets)? The answer should be "yes" to all three. Additionally the control diet formula should be matched to that of the experimental diet.
The goal of most laboratory animal studies is to study the effect of an intervention or treatment on phenotypic outcomes. Often this means that the experimental group of animals is fed a special diet. For example, this could be a high-fat diet, a diet lacking a nutrient or a diet with an added compound.
As scientists, we are all taught early in our careers how to minimize variability between experimental and control groups. We do this because reducing variability means that we will have greater power in our statistics to show phenotypic differences and ultimately be able to use fewer animals. In lab animal studies, we aim to reduce variability between groups by housing all of the animals in the same room, using the same number of animals per cage and using the same water, bedding, enrichment and diet. So, when experimental animals are fed a special diet, the control animals should be fed a diet matched in every way to the special diet, except of course for the dietary variable that the researcher is studying.

A Windows Server 2003 machine died recently but I need some information that was contained in the now-defunct server's registry. I have a "System State" backup file created by the Windows Server 2003 built-in backup program (NTBackup.exe). Is there any way to extract a key/value out of the backup file?
I might be able do a Win2003 install on a similar machine then do a system-state restore but that's a lot of effort and I don't know for certain that the system-state restore will work on a different spec machine. (Would it work if I booted up in 'safe mode'?) But I'd really rather just get at the data straight out of the NTBackup file zip-file-esque styles if that's possible.
