If you had to think of the number one cluttered room in your home, which would it be? Most would say a spare bedroom, an office, or a den. Did you know that more than 50 percent of homeowners in the US say their garages are the most disorganized and cluttered space in their entire home? What's more, most homeowners aren't aware that their garages are disorganized until someone points it out. They think it's normal to have belongings piled high. If this sounds like you, it's time you considered garage storage and organization for your San Francisco home.
In this post, we're going to help you identify the main cause of your clutter, and then give you five reasons why your garage is disorganized in the first place. Ready to take the next step toward reclaiming your garage? Give Garage Solutions a call today. In the meantime, read this post to learn more.
First, you want to recognize why your garage is cluttered. Is it boxes, garden equipment, random items you didn't have anywhere else to store? The goal here is to identify what's not being stored and why. Do you have space for it? Are you lazy? Not sure how to store some awkwardly shaped items? The reasons are endless; however, if you can find three or four types of clutter in your garage and organize it as such, you can begin to understand what type of home garage storage system you will need to design and install.
Not everyone is attuned to organization. That's not a bad thing. It simply means you don't naturally organize things, and, in some cases, you don't really care. Nonetheless, the slow creep of clutter upward toward your garage ceiling is obviously bothering you now, or you wouldn't be searching for answers. This is simply one reason you haven't installed a garage storage solution just yet.
At Garage Solutions, we understand. You've got a lot of stuff. It will take a lot of time to pull all of it out of the garage, filter it on the front driveway, and return it all back inside; however, with a home garage storage system you only have to do that once. Once your garage storage and cabinets are installed, you'll never have to hassle with clutter again. Imagine the time and money you'll save.
If you treat your garage like a catch-all, then you may not be ready to organize it just yet. But what if you could install a garage system that allows you to keep your garage as the main storage point in your home, but without losing your mind weeks or months later trying to find something? It is possible to achieve multiple homeowner goals with one purchase, a home garage storage system.
This is a common problem around San Francisco and the greater Bay Area. Space is at a premium, and unless you have a larger home, you're limited. Fortunately, a storage system actually gives you more room to have more things, even though you have cabinets, wall slats, and more to store things. The challenge with small garages is not how do I get rid of everything, but how do I store everything?
Depending on the season, you may have different levels of clutter. You could pull garden equipment in from the shed during spring and summer, storing garden equipment in lieu of winter equipment. What kind of sports do your children play? It all plays a part in how disorganized your garage could get. There is a solution: garage storage and organization.
Get rid of outdated/unused items. When you clean out your garage, you will effectively reduce clutter. Consider getting rid of any items or belongings you haven't used in the last six to 12 months.
Install a storage system. This option is easy when you call Garage Solutions. We offer custom cabinets, unique wall storage systems, and more!
Add a car rack. In some cases, you may want to store more than one car in your garage. Install a car rack, if you have the headroom, to keep one-half the garage free for other activities.

The SU has launched their zero tolerance campaign to tackle all forms of bullying and harassment. President of the Students' Union, Yasir Yeahia, says they are "trying to be as holistic as possible". Yas has also recently visited the University of London's Paris Institute.
Issues relating to safety on the Whitechapel campus have been brought to the SU's attention. Rough sleepers, who earlier this month were squatting outside of BLSA building and "harassing students", have since "been removed". The SU is planning a safety awareness campaign as they plan to help address the issue of homelessness in Tower Hamlets. Rakin reports that his weekly video bulletin has been a success so far, as has a survey about student-led projects on BL campuses.
Thursday 16 November marked the start of Islamophobia Awareness Month. The SU hopes to shine a light on how to tackle the causes of Islamophobia, discuss mental health issues surrounding it, and work with Queen Mary Against Prevent (as well as other societies) to make the awareness campaign a success. A motion was passed at the Student Council meeting in November which will see Islamophobia Awareness Month officially observed by the Students' Union every year. Also, the Study Well campaign launched on Thursday 16 November in Library Square.
Planning has also commenced at the SU for Chinese New Year celebrations. Sabbatical officers and members of the SU are having meetings with people who work in libraries at Queen Mary to find out the positives and negatives of the libraries being open 24/7. The student-staff liaison committee is being restricted so that it is more accountable on the academics' side. The new plan will be presented soon. The SU is speaking to companies, helping to seek out employment opportunities – especially for graduates.


Here's a trailer for a new mockumentary about the world of social media influencers.

Sterling Data Storage has always been a solution for multiple corporate partners. As such, it has always been important to make sure that the data stored in backed-up form remains encrypted. While there are many forms of data protection available, Sterling focuses on three major areas―standard data encryption, network security and basic logging and password systems. This helps users to remain confident in the knowledge that their data will remain safe no matter what the situation.
Standard Data Encryption for Backups
Some companies tout data encryption as a feature, but Sterling knows that encryption should be a standard part of any system. Every backup client is installed with an encrypted password that is stored and encrypted only on the client. This means that the data on the client cannot be read by unauthorized users, and that only those who are meant to access the system can go on with their work. Most systems are encrypted with 128-bit AES, but there are other, more powerful standards available for clients. All data transportation is done in an encrypted form, allowing users to remain safe in the knowledge that their data is protected.
Network Security Provides Extra Safety
Data encryption is incredibly important, of course, but that does not mean that every other means of security can or should be ignored. Sterling Data Storage still takes the step of making use of standard SSL security on its network layers. While this sort of security might be standard across the industry, it is still an important line of defense against those who might try to damage your system. While many may think that certain, more sophisticated methods are all that are needed to protect a system, it is always important to remember the necessity of using these basic types of security.
Logging, Passwords and Auditing
Basic data protection is often the most important. The backup manager and management console both feature basic protection through the use of user names and passwords, helping to keep unauthorized users out at the source. The management console itself features multiple authorization and access levels, allowing users to access the program at multiple levels of usage. Combined with the fact that all changes on the system are logged, this allows supervisors to easily log and audit any alterations to the system.
If you want to store your data, make sure you do so in a safe manner. Encryption, passwords and network security are all important parts of the process. Always put your trust in a company like Sterling Data Storage that uses all three.

'Justice For All': Many Young Protesters Want A New Strategy
Reverend Al Sharpton led thousands of marchers to the National Mall to protest discrimination, but some younger protesters want a change in strategy.

Article by Jasmine Bailey
Saturday brought out thousands of protesters to the National Mall in Washington, D.C. for the "Justice for All" march.
The march, lead by Reverend Al Sharpton and the National Action Network, also included the families of Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice and Eric Garner.
"I can't breathe, they took my breath away. I can't breathe," protesters chanted Saturday. (Video via CNN)
According to its website, the National Action Network aims "to promote a modern civil rights agenda that includes the fight for one standard of justice, decency and equal opportunities for all people regardless of race, religion, nationality or gender"
But as a BBC reporter notes, protesters were pushing a lot of messages at Saturday's peaceful march — so many that it was difficult to hone in on the major issues.
"You talk to some protestors say they want police to wear body cameras. ... You talk to other people and they say they want people racism to end. ... And then you talk to other people who say it's really difficult to measure how to get justice."
As mentioned, Al Sharpton lead the march from downtown Washington to the U.S. Capitol.
He's a voice and face we've continuously seen as this new wave of a modern-day civil rights movement has gained stem.
"I saw a black man put his hand on the Bible and become president. But I've also been inspired today when I see young white kids holding up signs," said Sharpton via Sky News.
But Sharpton's focus and tactics are not without critics, some of whom think the reverend is not the right man to lead these protests.
"I think there is a divide in that sense that they feel people like Al Sharpton and his supporters and his organization is much more institutional and that it hasn't produced the results that frustrated young people want to see," said Paul Workman with CTV.
That tension between old and young demonstrators was especially obvious when more than a dozen young protesters who said they were from Ferguson came on stage with a bull horn and demanded to be heard.
Organizers did let one woman in that group speak. And when she did, she called the rally a show and said no real action was being taken. But if the march in Washington isn't the answer, is there a better way?
We have seen other forms of protest, like die-ins.
As well as smaller, peaceful protest like some of those in Ferguson, Missouri where Michael Brown was shot and killed in August.
Much of those were not shown in the news, which seemed to focus heavily on the violence. (Video via CNN)
"This is a movement of today. ... We communicate with one another. ... The die-ins, this is a visual, this allows our grandmothers to understand what we're going through as a generation," said Carmen Perez with The Gathering for Justice on MSNBC.
"No justice, no peace." And as the march in Washington took place, thousands of young protesters opted to head to New York City for what they call "A Day of Anger."
The protest's organizer explained, "We want people to shut down their cities for justice. We are continuing where the freedom fighters of the Civil Rights Movement left off. We are a new generation of young multi-racial activists willing to take up the torch and we're not going to stand for this anymore."

Whether you are a shareholder of Herbalife or just an interested observer, Tuesday promises to be an interesting day for the company.
Bill Ackman, head of Pershing Square Capital Management LP, has said that he will reveal that Herbalife has participated in an "incredible fraud" during a talk at the AXA Equitable Center in Manhattan on Tuesday morning. The fraud, according to Ackman, centers around the company's nutritional clubs.
Pershing Square Capital Management LP has bet significant amounts of money against Herbalife and would reportedly stand to profit to the tune of $1 billion if shares of the company were to go to zero. Ackman has constantly stated that he believes that shares of Herbalife are worthless.
In order to gather evidence for this alleged fraud, Pershing Square Capital Management LP spent a reported $50 million over the course of a two year investigation. Hundreds of hours of video have reportedly been unearthed as well as some "internal documents" that were reportedly given to Perhsing by Herbalife employees.
Ackman is not beating around the bush, as he has said that the presentation "won't disappoint" and is the "most important of his career".
Ackman's short position in Herbalife has placed him squarely against the likes of Carl Icahn and other prominent investors. Icahn holds 17 million shares in Herbalife and recently stated that he has not sold one share.
Shares of Herbalife fell by over 11% to close at $54.02 on Monday afternoon. Investors and traders were clearly spooked by what Ackman may have in store for the company - let's see if he delivers on Tuesday morning.


That's who Jerry Reed was.
Our teacher, friend, mentor, breakfast companion, traveling tour guide, Santa Claus, and local hero gave to us what only a few people can — unconditional love, wisdom, and friendship.
Hero is defined as "a person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities." Jerry Reed was the embodiment of a hero. He did not win wars. He did not rescue anyone from a fire. What Jerry Reed did was far more heroic. He listened. He cared. He loved you when you felt like no one else did. Jerry Reed was the constant whisper that guided so many us to a greater understanding and calmer words and friendlier spirits.
Each of us who had him as a teacher has our own very specific Jerry Reed moments and stories. Those of you who were his colleagues, friends, and parents of his students know the kind words, honest wisdom, and you share your own Jerry Reed moments. He was simply impactful in his very subtle, simple way.
To know Jerry Reed was to know a man guided by kindness, thirsty for friendship, and curious about all facets of life.
Beyond the classroom and teaching, Jerry Reed was simply a boy seeking happiness. The Colorado Rockies were a passion, and he wore the jersey well. Laughter was necessary. Conversation was the source of life.
I graduated from Alamosa High School 10 years ago, but I never stopped learning from Jerry Reed. In school he taught me to form a written argument and how to understand my civic duty. In life he taught me to be kind; he taught me to be passionate; he taught me to be curious.
As we say goodbye to our friend, we might find the best way to remember him is to live by his example: be kind, love your fellow man, remember you and your neighbor are important.
In life, to me, Jerry Reed was the ever present breeze that whispered wisdom and guided me when I most needed it.


Hey guys. What have you been up to lately?
Nothing really exciting has happened in my life recently. I'm more or less just trying to find my way back to myself and who I want to be. I'm having a kind of love hate relationship with my blog right now..haha. But I think I'll keep it, just to write whatever I feel like writing. Screw what others think, I need to put myself first.
Two fun things about this weekend though, it's my best friends birthday on sunday and our friend Stoffe is visiting us again so we'll all hang out eat tacos and watch movies! This will be a good weekend.

Towards a green economic recovery?
The new green infrastructure investment bank will control £2 billion. But reaction to the announcement has been mixed.
The Chancellor today announced the creation of a new green infrastructure investment bank that would initially directly control £2 billion of assets. The Treasury aim to use this as leverage to unlock billions of pounds of additional investment from the private sector to be directed towards green developments like huge offshore wind farms, as well as "sustainable transport projects," in particular the proposed high speed rail link. But reaction to the announcement has been mixed.
The investment bank was announced alongside £60m in funding to upgrade ports to make them better able to handle off-shore wind turbines. While a start, this money for ports doesn't look so impressive when set against the £285m for (high-carbon) motorways. It's also a shame there wasn't more for home improvements. As Paul King, the Chief Executive of the Green Building Council, points out:
"energy efficiency must not be a poor relation to high-profile issues like offshore wind and high-speed rail. Refurbishment of our homes and buildings offers the greatest cost-effective carbon savings, as well as alleviating fuel poverty and creating jobs."
However, the Executive Director of Greenpeace UK, John Sauven, was broadly positive:
"This bank can provide the jolt that brings Britain's economy back to life, but only if it's here to stay. It will need a similar injection of public funding every year if we're to see the scale of private investment required to transform our energy system. Clean energy is set to be the growth industry of the 21st century, and this bank can help ensure that Britain receives the benefits in terms of jobs, investment and energy security."
And Friends of the Earth director Andy Atkins called it "a massive stride in the right direction."
Andrew Simms of the New Economics Foundation wasn't so impressed writing:
"The sums in the budget are a start, but they're dwarfed by the amounts used to subsidise the banks, and are like sending someone out to organize a wedding with only enough money to buy a packet of peanuts."
The Guardian's environment correspondent James Randerson was also downbeat, tweeting, "Summary of green measures in the #budget here – there aren't very many" while The Times reported, "Richard Gledhill at PwC (Price Waterhouse Coopers) says green bank "very small beer compared to the scale of new investment required.""
But the head of the Aldersgate Group, Peter Young, disagreed and thinks the Chancellor's plan will work. He told Business Green, "This will help leverage private sector funds at sufficient scale to deliver a swift and competitive transition to a low carbon economy."

Mr. Sensible
'Sir Montgomery', are you some kind of windup merchant?
These measures sound OK, but I agree with the criticism on motorways, and we need to scrap the Third Runway; I would be interested to see how much this will cost.
The motorway widening and third runway could be better spent on keeping the Channel Tunnel in public ownership and in the long run hopefully renationalizing our railway network.


[PS2] Anyone know what chip the Modbo 5.0 is based on?
Discussion in 'Sony PlayStation 1 & 2' started by devbat8712, Aug 5, 2018.
Was wondering, as I'm building an IDE to EXI adapter for my gamecube, which requires an old PS2 modchip (based on a xilinx chip) for some reason.
The only modchip I can seem to find for the PS2 is the Modbo 5.0. Does anybody know if it uses a xilinx chip?
Googled around to no avail, figured this would be the best place to check.
Alright, thanks. Do you have any idea where I could find a chip with the XC95144XL/a name that uses it?
Oh yeah, I could just order a custom pcb with the CPLD etc., I just wanted to avoid that because I'm lazy haha. I'll probably just end up doing that.
Any Ps2 Modbo 5.0v modchipping tutorials?
Can I trust a MODBO 5.0 from ebay?
Where can i find a modbo 5.0 in malaysia????

Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers Maze Coming to Universal's Halloween Horror Nights
Aug 14, 2018 01:27 PM EST
The news coming from Universal's Halloween Horror Nights just keeps on coming! The latest addition to the event's lineup will now include a Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers maze that will open on Friday, September 14.
Based on the fourth film of the franchise, the maze will allow guests to travel through the suburban town of Haddonfield, Illinois on Halloween night where Myers has escaped Smith's Grove Sanitarium and is hungry for revenge. This time, he has his sights set on Jamie, his niece.
Guests will follow Myers as he escapes the mental hospital, encounters his first victims at Penney's Gas Station and Diner, and wreaks terror on Haddonfield, all set to Alan Howarth's ominous score. The maze will include horrifying scares by Myers in his classic featureless white mask and navy jumpsuit, with guests dodging his bloody knife at every turn. Halloween fanatics can expect a cameo by Myer's psychiatrist Dr. Loomis and other famous characters from the film as they try to escape the bloodbath.
Universal Studios' Halloween Horror Nights has been the ultimate Halloween event for over 25 years. In that time, guests from around the world have visited Halloween Horror Nights in Hollywood and Orlando to become victims inside their own horror film. Multiple movie-quality mazes based on iconic horror television shows, films and original stories come to life season after season. And, the streets of each coast's event are transformed into highly-themed scare zones where menacing scare-actors lunge from every darkened corner.
