If you are searching around for an inspirational book, look no further. Diabetes and Doing Your Best is a personal account of a young teen's early experience with diabetes.
During the summer of 1987, ten year old Nick Walters began to complain to his parents of feeling generally lousy. Initially nobody, including Nick's doctor, suspected diabetes. But after his condition deteriorated, nearly to the point of death, no one doubted that Nick was suffering from uncontrolled high blood sugar.
After his recovery, Nick realized how important it was to find a cure for diabetes. For this reason, he wrote this wonderfully warm and informative book. All profits from the sales are donated to a variety of diabetes research and support groups.
Nick began his research for the book while still recuperating in the hospital. In order to keep his mind active, Nick compiled a list of famous people who have diabetes. Mary Tyler Moore and Catfish Hunter, the former All-Star pitcher, are just two of the approximately 100 famous diabetics listed in his book. In addition, he compiled an impressive amount of general information on diabetes.
Later chapters are geared towards motivating both children and adults to take care of their health through proper blood glucose control.
Diabetes and Doing Your Best is written in a style simple enough for the young reader. However, it carries a powerful message that should be read by anyone affected by diabetes. Nick's message can be summed up in the words of a song that his mother used to sing. "Doing the best I can, doing the best I can. I can't do no more, and I can't do no less, I'm doing the best I can."

A year ago, I signed up for BFL at my workplace because the materials were free I wanted to have them should I ever decide to get in shape. Eight months later, I joined a gym because they were have a membership sale. Three months later, after letting my routine slide, I quit the gym. The BFL books sat on my bookshelf in my apartment during that entire year. One day, I got these crazy stomach cramps and just grabbed a book to have something else to focus on. It was the BFL book.
That was about a week ago. Since then, I've been coming to the website daily, reading slowly through the book, and asking myself, "Is this really something I can do for 12 weeks? How do I maintain my gains afterwards if I'm not ready to launch into another cycle?" You see, I'm a mild-mannered Type-A kind of guy. I love to plan things, and I know that this will never work for me unless I set myself up for success through careful planning. I'm just so rational that I have to know beyond a doubt that I can do this.
I've overcome a lot of my potential excuses - those obstacles that I didn't know what to do about. Like cost (this is an investment in myself and I'm worth it), routine (now I'm excited about getting my workouts in first thing in the morning), logistics (what am I gonna do when I have my kids stay with me for a week? Bring them to the gym's daycamp), social calendars (company lunches, dinner dates, gardening, kayaking,and having time to spend with my girlfriend), muscle recovery (always a big problem when I start - will use some supplements to help me through it), among a constantly growing list.
I still haven't ironed out all my details - the menu, the precise exercise routine - but I'm building the framework in my mind. I get excited when think of the mental gains I'll make in doing this. I don't hope to lose weight, but build muscle and cut body fat. Right now, I'm putting all this framework into place - reactivating gym memberships, reading the book, planning meals & grocery trips, ordering supplements, deciding my workout routines, and slowly coming to grips with the fact that 10:30p will likely be my new bedtime (I'm a night owl). I had intially thought that I'd start next week, but I think I may give it one more week, and start June 1.
I hate to put it off, because I'm afraid of procrastination sapping my resolve - but, I'm just not there yet. I feel a bit like an outsider when I see all the folks who are so excited and who just dove right in, but I guess my post here is really to openly commit to the challenge before even starting it - to hold myself accountable. Any encouragement is welcome!
There is no fate but what we make for ourselves.
Try to keep things simple and remember no matter what 12 weeks are going to come and go-
Planning is key with BFL, I'd recommend putting the framework you are building in your mind into a journal, notebook or computer program....give your mind a rest.
This is totally doable. It does not have to be perfect.
We learn the most from mistakes we make. Factor in making some less than perfect decisions as ones that will help you learn the most about yourself.
And know, the challenge works our mental muscles as well as out physical ones.
You can do BFL! keep us posted
remember-you are building a life long habit with this! why wait? it's kinda like that old saying, "if you wait until the "right" time to have kids, you never will". there will never be a perfect time. i like what kat said above-12 weeks are going to come and go no matter what!
i say go for it! i'm type a, mild mannered, too. i have yet to take a picture of myself because i was not 100% sure i'd succeed. i am now in c2w6 and have lost 20 lbs and well over 23 inches (from 6 measuring sites). you CAN do this!
You just said everything I've been doing. My husband and I have spent the last week "practicing" the eating plan, working out our schedules to coordinate with how this will work in real time. We'll be learning the workout routines next week and practicing those and then officially start the next week. We must be type A people too : )
I say Let's do this thing!
Most of the time we just don't start because we fear failure. You can do this. I do this everyday now. No longer do I consider them "challenge cycles". I have dinner out, lunch meetings, garden and kayak. Your kids coming for a weeks visit is the perfect opportunity for pops to start educating them on the important of good health. On of my happiest moments was receiving a text from my then 16 year old son telling me he understood the importance of good health after traveling to Disney with neighbors who were so out of shape they couldn't and didn't want to ride any rides.
If you didn't want to do it, you wouldn't have kept the book. Just sayin... ;o)

Thanks for the replies, everyone! One thing I just got a bit hung up on was that I want to do free weights, but I don't know anybody at my gym to spot me. I can't hit my '10' in weight training if I don't have a spotter, and with only a minute between sets, it seems like a imposition to ask someone to spot me while I work through my whole routine.
I mean - I guess I only need a spotter while I'm on the bench or squatting, so that may not be too big of a deal. Do any of you have a suggestion?
You'll be surprised at how willing people are to spot for you. Put that worry aside. When I joined our gym, I was the only person there at 4:30am, so I used the smith machine for both bench press and squats. Over the next two or three months a couple of guys started coming early as well. It was an offer from one of them to spot for me that helped me take it to the next level and move completely away from the smith machine.
It's all about getting comfortable being uncomfortable.
Check out my profile, if I can do that you can do this...
So this is what I'm going to call my 'Transition Week'. After hopping in a kayak for a few hours out on the river near where I live this weekend, I'm pretty sore and a little sunburned. I'm not in much shape to start the exercise part of the challenge. I had a lot of fun, though, and it really helped to strengthen my resolve. Even though I was dog-tired a couple hours afterwards, and the muscle soreness and sunburn had me in pain, I still felt good.
So, this week - recovery. I'll be waiting to start the BFL exercise routine until next week, after my supplements come in. That should help me recover more quickly after workouts. I'm going to be using a Whey/Casein Protein Powder blend - mostly because I like the idea of making my own shakes, and L-glutamine to help with recovery. I've thought about Creatine, but I seem to be doing a decent job of stressing my muscles all on my own now. I'll probably add that when I plateau later in the challenge.
In lieu of that, I'm taking this week to start Eating-for-Life. I can't say that I'm going at this hardcore, but I'm giving it a fair effort. I planned my menu items around the EFL principles and spent yesterday afternoon at Whole Foods. I bought new tupperware, a lot of fruit, skim milk, cottage cheese (which I've never bought in my life), and a lot of other stuff. I really enjoy cooking, so I'm looking forward to this part. I'm excited to see how my energy levels throughout the day react. I'm usually starving by the time I have lunch and end up crashing for a couple hours shortly after eating it.
I'm still excited about the exercise part, too. I mentioned that I had some abnormal labs - my LFTs were elevated. About 12 years ago, when I was in high school, I had a complete tear of my left hamstring at the pelvis, from weight training. Doctors said my muscle was stronger than my bone. There wasn't much they could do but give me crutches and pain meds. The muscle re-fused on its own, but not like it was before the injury. Now, my leg hurts whener the weather changes or I stress it too much. I take a lot of ibuprofen to manage this. After some research, I've found that NSAIDs (Ibuprofen & Aleve) can actually delay muscle recovery, and that chronic Ibuprofen and alcohol use combined (I'm not a heavy drinker, but I have a drink or two on regular occasion) can mess with your liver. I've stopped taking Ibuprofen, and I've stopped drinking - I'm hoping that BFL will help strengthen my hamstring to the point where it doesn't hurt anymore.
I'm starting the challenge on Monday, May 31st. The closer I get, the more I realize and come to terms with the fact that I'll be changing-for-LIFE, not just enduring BFL for 12 weeks. As I ease into my challenge one step at a time, I know more and more that I can do this, and that I will be so much better for it. Thanks for all your support!
Clint- It sounds like you know what you want to do, you just need to jump in and start doing it! And your love of planning will definitely be a great asset to you as you navigate BFL because to really make it work, you have to plan EVERYTHING!!! Plan your meals ahead of time, plan your grocery lists carefully, plan your workouts. Without planning ahead, there are too many things left up to chance and it makes things that much harder. Commit to a date. Put on your calendar and tell others that that is the day you are starting. There will always be a "better time" to start. Once you do, you won't be sorry. Good luck to you!!!!! You can do it.
The only thing that can stop me. . . . . . . . . . is ME!!!! JEN
I love to plan also, but it's the follow through that changes us. Don't get stuck in analysis paralysis! Start with what you're ready to do and then add as you go if you not ready to start 'cold turkey'. And then something amazing happens, you're brain and body really kick in and woohoo, you're there, full speed ahead.
Clint...you are going to do just fine! I did the same thing when I started, I spent a week focusing on the eating plan while I worked out the details for my start date. I found that very helpful! Being able to plan everything is also a good trait to have when you are doing BFL, and without my BFL Success Journal, I would be lost! Just like Bonwitty said, don't get stuck in "analysis paralysis"... just take it one day at a time, time is going by anyway. In as little as one week, my mind began to clear and settle down and I found myself calm, cool and collected (unusual for me). Come back to this website every day... you will find everything you need here. Ask questions, help others who have questions, and get recipes and or food ideas. GOOD LUCK!!!!!
Clint - I too am new to BFL. I'm in week 4. I am a 40 year old, mother of three, medical professional who has struggled with the same FIFTY pounds my whole adult life. In the past I have lost weight and gained weight, lost weight and gained weight. I have tried EVERY diet in the world but have never tried the principles in BFL. When I first read the book, it scared the HELL out of me because I thought "There is NO WAY I'm gonna have the time to do everything that it says in this book!" What I'm here to tell you is that in the past 4 weeks, I have lost 11 pounds and have gained VISIBLE muscle. I have become physically stronger in the past four weeks than I have ever been. It's not that "hard" or overwhelming. You just take it one day at a time and before you know it you'll be excited about going to the gym and you'll be excited about eating right because you can VISIBLY see the payoff for you hard work. I think to myself "If this is what I see after FOUR weeks, imagine what I'll seein TWELVE weeks!" So, quit making excuses (yes, I have read some in your postings) and JUMP IN! Every day you analyze (and therefore procrastinate), is a day wasted and a day that you can be closer to feeling GREAT about yourself!
Thanks for the encouragement! I'm not trying to put this off - this is just my personality. I used to make decisions quickly, but it's landed me trouble. Now, when I can afford the time, I try to visualize how I'm going to accomplish something before I start. The more momentum I have going into this, the more likely I will be to stick with it. It's about being positioned to see this through - setting myself up for success. I realize talk is cheap; I'm committed to May 31st, and I'm excited about it.
I'm on Day 3 of EFL, and it's not so difficult - the grocery list helped. I need to start getting to sleep earlier if I'm going to be working out in the morning. I'd like to hit the gym first thing, and then roll into work.
I started full force this week. I'm on C1W1D2 of the REAL challenge - eating, exercising, journaling - executing. I got to the gym at 7a this morning for my cardio and made it to work for 8a. I had trouble falling asleep earlier than usual last night, but I feel great.
I've along way to go, and planning was wholly responsible for getting me from bed to the gym, and on to work in 70 minutes total this morning. BUT! A lot of you were right - you just can't perfect something before you even try it. As much as I studied BFL before jumping in, I'll learn far more from doing it.
Thanks again for the encouragement. I hope my body will settle into my new early-bird routine quickly (that's about the only thing I'm worried about right now).

Silver Branch Games takes the fan-favourite PDQ system into the realms of sword-and-sorcery and the darker sides of fantasy.
People like Jaws because it gives you what you need to get playing quickly, in one compact book, clearly explained and laid out.
The PDQ rules let you define your character by whatever you think is most important about them, and then provide simple frameworks for resolving any type of conflict, from mortal combat to devious negotiations. This book includes the standard PDQ rules, followed by a bunch of new material to slant them towards pulpy and darker fantasy - like danger levels and freeform sorcery.
The setting sketches out a classically-inspired sword and sorcery land. Peoples, outlined in a few paragraphs each, are both origins for characters and locations for adventures. From the bustling streets of Sartain to the forest ruins of Temisarum, from the moors of Kalet to the desolate sands of the Empty Cup, wonder and peril await!
Notes for the GM give advice on running the game and adapting it for different settings.

Epilepsy Awareness Month
November is National Epilepsy Awareness Month. Epilepsy affects about 2 million people in the United States and is characterized by recurrent, unprovoked seizures. Delayed recognition of these seizures and inadequate treatment increases the risk for additional seizures, disability, decreased health-related quality of life and, in rare instances, death.
Although epilepsy can occur at any age, the condition is more likely to begin among children less than 2 years of age and adults older than 65 years. As do many who live with other chronic disorders, those with epilepsy often face challenges related to managing epilepsy treatment, symptoms, disability, lifestyle limitations, emotional stress, and stigma.
CDC's Managing Epilepsy Well (MEW) Network is composed of individuals interested in improving the care of people with epilepsy. MEW Network members, including representatives from U.S. universities, community-based organizations, and CDC are working together to develop and test self-management programs and tools that help people with epilepsy better manage their disorder and improve their quality of life.
MEW programs available to communities include WebEase, UPLIFT, and PEARLS. WebEase (Epilepsy Awareness Support and Education) is an Internet self-management program designed to improve medication adherence, stress management, and sleep. UPLIFT (Using Practice and Learning to Increase Favorable Thoughts) is an Internet and telephone program that combines cognitive behavioral therapy with mindfulness to treat depression in people with epilepsy. PEARLS (Program to Encourage Active Rewarding Lives) is a home-based, collaborative-care depression treatment program for adults with epilepsy.
Interventions that are currently being tested by MEW network researchers include a self-management program that combines self-regulation and social support for adults with refractory epilepsy; an electronic decision-support system for clinics to improve self-management communication and behavior; and a consumer-driven self-management program. New projects include a telephone intervention for rural dwelling adults with epilepsy and cognitive impairment, and self-management training for adults with epilepsy and co-existing serious mental illness.

Denver >Restaurants > Fado Irish Pub - Denver
1735 19th St, Denver, CO | Directions 8020239.755199 -104.997044
Monday To Sunday From 11:30 AM To 02:00 AM
Neighborhoods: Union Station, LoDo, Northwest Denver
Great place to eat, even better to hang out. Looks like a real Irish pub inside. Everyone is nice, good service. Don't miss the traditional sessions on Monday nights!!!
All the Lads and Ladies in great voice! – "....USA,USA,USAAAAA..." Everyone in great voice and spirit! US lost the match, but this crowd won the day for me.
Very full bar...but everyone was polite and I will return again, just hire more service help!
Never Been – I liked the Fado Irish Pub in Chicago but havent been in Denver
That 80s Band – Go on a night when that 80s band is playing!
Get over it Chew !! – Food is great, beer is Irish, people are friendly, music is, more than not... fabulous.
So hang on to your chair or stand, but have fun!!!
The chair I was sitting on was taken from me - literally!! (And for no good reason) – The only good thing that I have to say is that I got a great story out of our night. We arrived at around 7 ish and had no problem finding a table, which happened to be a pub table - a little squished to the table next to it but really not a problem. We were informed after 9 pm that at 10 pm, the bar staff would be moving our table out to the patio (mind, it is February, and the only people on the patio are smokers). Since it was already decided for us that we would no longer have a table, we decided to get our tab (which was a pretty decent size, by that time - just the customers you want to ride out of your establishment, don't you think?) and go somewhere else. By the time we closed out, it was around 10 pm and I still had a little of my drink left, and I figured I payed for it so I was going to finish it. However, the bouncers came up and declared that they were taking our table at that moment. Talk about giving us the boot!! But here's the funny part. I was sitting on my chair (minus the table, mind you), finishing my drink and minding my own business, when the bouncers returned and declared that he was taking my chair as well!!! After asking why (he mumbled something to do with capacity limits or some bs like that) and asking why I couldn't finish the drink that I had paid for while sitting on the chair I had occupied for the last few hours in his establishment, AND asking why he could not take the EMPTY chair next to another table - I finally quit arguing and gave up (it was either that or laying him out on the floor!). Needless to say, I put my drink - with drink still left in it (and I don't waste alcohol) back on the bar and walked out. I DO NOT plan to return. Sad, but good story, huh?
Ugly ladies, overpriced drinks, and the lovely aroma of regurgitation. – Arriving early (8:30 pm) on a Friday night, we had the place virtually to ourselves. There were two tables full of questionable looking middle-aged ladies and one slag getting her drunk on as she chatted up the bartender. We grabbed some beers and some whiskey and found a cozy little booth. Within moments we noticed a pungent smell that was not wafting from our whiskey glasses. Obviously someone had thrown up all over the booth and the staff's cleaning methods left much to be desired. We switched tables and were soon approached by a representative of Walker Scotch who certainly would need to hand out free drinks if she would ever have a hope of men responding to her. A couple of plastic shot glasses of whiskey later we were ready to pick up the check and get out of this hole. By this time (10 pm) the population had swelled to a roaring 20 people, none of which could catch an eye with a fish hook. Signing for the check I realized that the bartender had tried to double bill us for everything! Although it was an establishment we tried to forget, the smell of their spew soaked booth remained on our clothes for hours.
Awesome food, servers, and ambience?cringe-worthy drinks. – If I were rating this place on my dinner, the service, or atmosphere alone I would give it 5 stars for sure. Unfortunately I have to factor in the beverages and that drops the overall score to 3 (and it would be 2.5 if I could give half stars).
First the good part. Cute waitress with a bubbly personality and a fireplace, I don't know how you could go wrong. The food outstanding, best fish fry I've had outside of the Midwest and only my grandma could make boxty that tasy.
Now the bad part. I ordered a Guinness and I haven't ever wondered what it would taste like if you let it sit out in the sun in the sun for 3 weeks after straining it through a pair of dirty socks?but now I know. So I asked to replace my Guinness with a Smithwick's and when I explained why I could tell the bartender had no idea what Guinness is supposed to taste like or that he was a indeed, a total assclown. My guess is that there CO2/Nitrogen system isn't working at all, isn't working properly, or is just non-existent. And even if it were working they probably don't use the 25% CO2 and 75% nitrogen Guinness recommends to keep the beer fresh.
Too bad the Smithwick's didn't taste much better. Probably suffering from the same problems as the Guinness. Although this one did have a pleasantly surprising soapy taste. Perhaps they didn't wash the glass properly. Lucky me. My girlfriend didn't want me to make complain again so I bit my tongue and drank it.
You may be thinking 'It can't possibly get any worse than this?' but it does. At the end of our meal I ordered some Scotch. How could you possibly go wrong with Scotch? Well if you thin it with rubbing alcohol, or some other cheap alcohol based yet not fit for human consumption liquid that tastes of gasoline, you can. Now this may just be a hunch, but I have had my fair share of many Scotches fine and not so fine and this particular glass was absolutely undrinkable. To test my hunch I held my glass up to the light and sure enough it was diluted.
Excellent customer service and the best Black and Tan in town. – Been here a few times and always had an enjoyable time. Very authentic Irish cuisine along with some more American items. The service was attentive and friendly, the food was very good, served hot. Consistently the best Black and Tan I have ever had and that includes trips to London. I would recommend Fado Irish Pub to anyone for a unique and fun outing.

Here is an update of SNESNext Super Nintendo (SNES) PS3 Emulator v4.4.9 Rev c2f1b90f1a.
Download: SNESNext Super Nintendo (SNES) PS3 Emulator v4.4.9 Rev c2f1b90f1a
Below are some details from pete_uk as follows: ps3crunch.net/forum/threads/1130-Snes?p=10100#post10100
Source aquired from https://github.com/twinaphex/snes-next/
Commit History: https://github.com/twinaphex/snes-next/commits/master
Only problem found one problem so far. To return from to the main menu from a game, you need to press L3 & R3 together, the "Return to Menu" option in the quick menu does not seem to work.
I have only tested it quickly, but seems to running nicely.
Another update from pete_uk also below: ps3crunch.net/forum/threads/1130-Snes?p=10100#post10100
Download: SNESNext Super Nintendo (SNES) PS3 Emulator v4.4.9 Rev e6b54d879d
Newest commit (e6b54d879dc9fe4d2efea50c27795e3d7d478876) packaged for 3.41.
And also an update by Twinaphex (aka squarepusher2) below:
Download: SNESNext Super Nintendo (SNES) PS3 Emulator v4.4.9 Rev ce333489e1
Current commit of Snes9x-Next: https://github.com/twinaphex/snes9x-next/
This build is NOT Multiman Compatible!!!
Recent Updates & Changes:
- Further improved Star Fox 2/Vortex speed - now is always 60fps and/or higher - without frameskip!
- Speedhacks for a great number of games - FPS improvements range from ~10 to ~20-25fps (sometimes more) forgames where we don't 'draw' the subscreen display
- Speedhack - PPU.FullClipping (new speedhack variable) is set to false for Final Fantasy III/VI - bypass some steps during clipping for additional 10fps speedup (in field mode)
- Use joypad callbacks - basically more efficient input polling - if no joystick data is polled for a frame, we won't have to waste time reporting all the buttons to SNES9xanyway (for that frame)
- Revised PS3 input - Super Scope works again, Mouse doesn't yet - next on the list
- Input presets - users can now make presets for input from within the emulator and switch between presets - allows you to switch between different button mapping schemes
- 'Save Settings as Shader Preset' works now - can set filename and title - also fixed OSK util
As of this commit (github.com/twinaphex/snes9x-next/commit/9d70571d1a7416fa19bbfa0a55eb4bd3fac754ec) this option - 'Save Settings as Shader Preset' can actually be used. At the moment, it will ask you to input a filename for the preset (without file extension), and after that it will ask you to input a name for the preset.
I will further improve upon this by also allowing people to overwrite previously existing presets in addition to just creating a new preset everytime.
NOTE - I have decided to remove all pre-existing presets - the idea being that now that users have the ability to create their own from inside the emulator, there should no longer be a need to maintain 100 pre-baked presets - it should be up to the user to create as many as he/she wants.
Also, this feature will be brought to all the other emulators as well obviously.

By Brent Grinna, contributor
Earlier this week I read Jon Lai's post detailing the reasons why many of his peers at Harvard Business School aren't interested in building companies in Boston. Jon cited an inferior lifestyle, FOMO ("Fear of Missing Out") and said "the prevailing image of Boston is one of a non-progressive entrepreneurial community."
No matter where you move, choosing an entrepreneurial path out of HBS will ensure an inferior lifestyle (low pay, high stress!) and FOMO (you'll probably miss your section-mate's wedding in Australia). But I want to challenge Jon's point about Boston being a non-progressive entrepreneurial community.
Some of the themes Jon touched on reminded me how I might have felt about Boston when I founded EverTrue at HBS three years ago. Looking back on it, I couldn't have been more wrong.
Here are a few reasons why Boston is a great place to build a company.
1. "Startup-Ready" Talent. Boston has long been the leading hub for undergraduate and graduate education, but it's emerging as one of the best training grounds for early-stage startup employees. Our friends at Startup Institute are churning out talented graduates who are prepared to hit the ground running in sales, marketing, web development and product management. Sarah Hodges at Intelligent.ly enlists some of the most talented startup leaders in town to teach everything from "Product Poker" to Inbound Marketing for Entrepreneurs to "Scotch: It's What's For Dinner." Fresh Tilled Soil's Apprentice in UX Design is answering the call to eschew the MBA in favor of design skills. Developer communities ranging from Drinks on Tap to Boston Front End Developers tohack/reduce unite technical talent eager to build the next big thing. Fast Company recently named Boston the Smartest City in America for good reason.
2. Mentors Abound. Early EverTrue mentor Jeff Bussgang introduced me to Where CEO Walt Doyle prior to his company's acquisition by PayPal. I met Walt before I had a product, a co-founder or funding. He went out of his way to give me office space, help me recruit a technical co-founder and endorse our application to TechStars. Walt is now joining our board as part of our Series A funding from Bain Capital Ventures. Given how little progress I had made when I met Walt, it would have been easy for him to move on without even taking a follow-up meeting. There are many mentors like Walt in this town who go above and beyond to support first-time founders. TechStars Boston, MassChallenge, Scott Kirsner's Secrets of Scaling and Nantucket Conference, the MITX Future Leaders' Group and Sean Lindsay's Founder Mentors are all examples of how mentorship permeates the entrepreneurial culture here.
3. Big Problems Are Being Solved. In the last few months, Andreesen Horowitz-backed Actifio raised $50 million at a $500 million valuation, AppNeta raised $16 million and DataXu raised $27 million. But you probably didn't hear about those stories at HBS because data virtualization, application-performance management and programmatic marketing aren't as exciting as new innovations in men's grooming. We can't change the fact that the problems we're attacking here aren't always that sexy – but they are big problems nonetheless. In the last TechStars Boston class alone, founders are enabling more efficient hospital patient transitions, providing real-time pregnancy health monitoring and turning air into water.
The reasons above explain in part why in the last two years the founders of Kinvey, HelpScout and GrabCad have moved here from Austin, Nashville and Estonia, respectively.
If you're aspiring to be named to The 100 Coolest People in New York Tech or The 100 Biggest Stars in Silicon Valley, Boston is not the place for you. But you might get named to BostInno's 50 on Fire. You're just not as likely to hear about that at HBS.
Brent Grinna (@brentgrinna) founded EverTrue at HBS in 2010. EverTrue is a graduate of TechStars Boston and was selected as a winner of MassChallenge. Today it announced that it has raised $5.25 million in VC funding led by Bain Capital Ventures. Prior to attending HBS, Brent worked in private equity at Madison Dearborn Partners in Chicago.

Boss is my position, I got the ammunition
All Wale talking is Ambition
[Hook: Rick Ross (Wale)]
In the caravan with some Latin bitches
Talking caramel with them asses like the strippers
Oye mami, ven aca, come her for papi chulo
Let me knock it out the park, I'm talking Albert Pujols
(Albert Pujols, trial left two hoes up in my new muh-fucking two door
This shit ain't nothing new though
I'm tryna knock that out the park, Albert Pujols)
Schematic, hold the fuck up nigga
Bring that shit the fuck back
This the big boss Ricky Ross nigga
We ain't playing no fucking games
[Verse 1: Wale]
Made a million with the pen
Make my women follow dreams, pussy popping follow head
Bitches check on my stats, women get too attached
Fuck what them niggas saying I hit whoever at bat
John Rocker Atlanta's Bravest know that I'm awesome
Bet I be like Fenway out in Boston, my green is a monster
We don't speak to informants, they just look for a way out
They just hating on the game, they just way too Canseco
Gotta thank my crew, my label, everything I do they ate, Oh

Shit grand like a muh-fucking bass load
Three strikes put a muh-fucking K up

[Verse 2: Fabolous]
Feel like I seen it all, but I can't say so
Be a snitch? No way, Jose Canseco
Face down, ass up, ain't none of my bitches planking though
We got stripes in my city, ain't none of my niggas Yankees though
It's going down in history, the way I valet two doors
She blew a kiss at me, I told her da le culo
Listen b, just give my stylist kudos
And my consistency? I call that Albert Pujols
Shouts out to St. Louey, swag champ I got the belt
Big H if it ain't Louie, cuffing you bitch is not gon' help
They asking me what I wear, I think YSL is how it spelt
And I might just let you touch it if you don't go tell 'em how I felt
Real nigga, that's just how I'm built
From turning white into cream, powdered milk
To getting rich off a dream, I throw it the bag
This the Ambition anthem, I flowed it to the flag

It doesn't hurt to have a spare flapper. If you don't need it, it will save a drive later.

It doesn't hurt to have a spare flapper. If you don't need it, it will save a drive later.
Your question about the lever: there are lots of levers from many manufacturers available online and at your plumbing supply that will work with that Toto; you just need one that is appropriate for the location it is in the tank (i.e. side lever).
And remember that the toilet lever is one of the only reverse-threaded items that you'll find in the house. That is, instead of lefty-loosy, righty-tighty (i.e. clockwise to tighten), you will turn the nut clockwise to LOOSEN the nut holding the handle in place, and counterclockwise to tighten it.
About 3 months ago I kept having problems out in the pump house with the water well. The lever that tells the compressor (that pumps the water up into the cistern/holding tank) kept sticking so the compressor kept running. Well, even a few months before that it had sheered off one of the pulley wheels and I had to replace it, but eventually the motor in it died. We just didn't have water all of a sudden in the middle of summer. The old pump guy we called is now senile and he forgot to come out and we ended up waiting over a week before someone gave us the number for a reliable pump & well person. He came out and said we needed a new compressor. I won't bore you with details, but it was not easy to get our hands on one with such short notice but we managed and got it set up. Then the pipes connecting to the cistern blew apart and actually came out of the cistern. The pump guy was not available so we called our usual plumber who came out, took one look at it without touching anything, said "You'll have to get a pump man", charged $65 and left. We were able to get in touch with the pump guy who had to climb inside the now empty cistern (bc the pipe had come out and water had poured out) and have someone on the outside hold the pipe while he screwed it back on from the inside. Then we discovered that the pump had burned out. We were desperate for water and the weekend was approaching so we made the mistake of buying some piece of crap Countryline jet pump that claimed to pump 21GPM but was extremely weak. That thing lasted about 3 months before blowing a ball bearing. So this time we were patient and waited a few days for the pump guy to get the new pump (which turns out to be the same as the original pump-- not the Countryline thing). It says it is 15GPM @1HP but it has better water pressure. It's a Gould pump. Our old one probably would have lasted longer if not for the plumbing leaks and frequent power outages/surges. Anyway, that was off topic... LOL. It was not fun when we went through all the problems, but looking back it is sort of funny that it all happened like that.
On a website question: Why does it say I'm in Kansas? I never picked that as a location and I've never been to Kansas. I know running an IP trace seemed to lead back to Kansas because I have satellite internet.
I really do appreciate all of the responses.
I forgot to mention that I called Lowes and they said they had 4 of the Korky MaxPerformance valves on the shelf. Hopefully we'll be able to pick that up in the afternoon.
It would be unusual to have excessive pressure in a home with a well although it is possible. If it was high, you could save a lot of wear and tear and money by lowering it.

Ok, I may sound dumb, but is there a video that shows how to change out the default flush valve and install the Korky MaxPerformance? I saw the little diagrams and read the instructions, but I always do better when I can actually watch something being done.

I'm not sure I've seen a video, but it's really pretty simple. Often, you may not even need any tools - it depends on how strong your fingers are. The most time consuming thing is probably sponging out the water so it doesn't all drain out the hole when you take the old valve out. Make sure to have the valve rotated so that nothing rubs and the chain to the flapper valve doesn't get caught up on things. You don't even need to put the locking tab back in unless you want to. Make sure to use the clip for the hose.

Generally, no, you do not need to remove the tank. Look at where the water supply hose goes to the bottom of the tank. You unscrew that (after turning the water off!), then there's a nut that holds the valve in place - you remove that, and the whole thing lifts out from inside. Course, you want to have drained the tank first. Then, the new one goes through the hole, you tighten the nut up, reattach the supply hose (it's not a bad idea to change that unless it is nearly new), adjust the valve so the fill height is correct, and you're close to done, On the volume adjustable one, you need to balance the tank/bowl fill so when the tank is full, the bowl just became full. The instructions cover it pretty well.

Here's the video on how to install the 528 MaxPerformance:
You won't need to remove the tank.
The problem with the Fluidmaster refill adjuster is that it's a slide thing on the hose. It doesn't stay in place firmly and it is, in my view, more challenging to adjust than the Korky refill valve, which you turn.
The Fluidmaster vs. Korky is an age-old debate. If you're a homeowner, I think the Korky is far easier to install yourself, is quieter, is easy to adjust, shuts off smoothly, and otherwise does a fine job. I now have them on 6 of my 7 toilets, and a Korky will go on the seventh one when the Voreto valve that came on the Toto Carlysle II finally starts acting up.
The official Toto Universal Replacement Fill Valve (TSU99A.X) is made for them by Korky, and is basically a 528MP with a few tools to adjust it to Toto factory specs.

Thank you guys so much! I feel like an idiot because I didn't try to just take apart the old flush assembly first (I was afraid I would break something so I wanted a replacement before messing with it). While I was waiting for a reply to this thread I went and took it apart. I found that after removing the cover and the float part (or whatever it is that moves up when the water line hits it) the thing that only turns 1/8 or whatever turn in the first video needs to be turned more before it unlocks. I was stuck on that part until I just decided to try turning it more. I don't have strong fingers so I gently used a wrench. I had to use pliers to pull out the thing inside that was supposed to be white. Man, that thing was absolutely disgusting and full of some sort of debris. Metal buildup from the water or something. Not sure. But I took everything out and cleaned them as best as I could. The black marks wouldn't come off of the red washer inside (or whatever that thing is) but it still looked to be fine. I think the gunk on the white thing was the problem. I put everything back together and it worked just fine. I did have to replace the flapper. I examined the old one more closely and noticed it was starting to change shape just a tiny bit on the ends. I also took the lever off of an as yet uninstalled Toto (still need to finish some floor installation and other stuff in that bathroom before it is ready) and used it to replace the broken one. It is a shame that piece of plastic in the lever is so flimsy. I wish I had been able to find just that piece and I could have replaced it instead. Meanwhile, I have an adjustable toilet lever that I put on the other tank. It matches the porcelain and chrome theme for that bathroom.
I'm going to bookmark this and download the video for when I do need to change out the flush valve eventually.
I'm not a terribly coordinated person so I'm amazed I finished this with only a little blood (scraped my knuckles on the tank trying to pull some things apart). So I'm proud of myself. I think it is inspiring me to work on more projects.
Again, thank you for all of the replies!
I'm glad you got this one knocked out. Jamie has walked women through the process of checking the assembly cap on the 528 over the phone, without tools. It should take less then a minute.
Of course, with Seattle water, things come apart easier then in other parts of the country. Most of our water is from snow melt.

WWE (NYSE:WWE) announced that Donald J. Trump will be a celebrity inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame on Saturday, April 6 at Madison Square Garden in New York City during WrestleMania 29 Week.
Trump has been a part of WWE's most popular events and storylines dating to WrestleMania IV in 1988 and WrestleMania V in 1989, when he legit hosted the pop-culture extravaganzas in Atlantic City.
In a 2009 angle, Trump "purchased" WWE and then "resold" WWE back to Vince McMahon a week later for double the price.
In his most famous WWE storyline, Trump challenged McMahon to a "Battle of the Billionaires" match at WrestleMania XXIII, resulting in an all-time record for pay-per-view buys and McMahon's head being shaved at the hands of "The Donald" and his wrestler Bobby Lashley.
"It was literally the thrill of a lifetime performing in front of 80,000 enthusiastic fans during the 'Battle of the Billionaires' match at WrestleMania XXIII," Trump, Chairman and President, The Trump Organization, said in a release. "I've always enjoyed and respected WWE's brand of entertainment and look forward to the ceremony in my hometown at Madison Square Garden."
McMahon, WWE Chairman and CEO, said: "Donald is a global icon whose status brought an unmatched level of publicity and grandeur to WWE."
Trump is the pre-eminent developer of quality real estate in the United States and abroad. He made the Trump brand synonymous with excellence. His portfolio includes dozens of award-winning skyscrapers, hotels, clubs and golf courses (including purchasing Doral Golf Resort & Spa in Miami-Dade County). He is an accomplished and best-selling author of more than a dozen books including one of the best-selling business books of all time, "The Art of the Deal."
Trump is also the star and co-producer of the NBC hit series, "The Apprentice," which premieres its 13th season on Sunday, March 3.
Trump is the latest celebrity inductee entering the WWE Hall of Fame, joining Drew Carey, Pete Rose, Bob Uecker, Mike Tyson and William "Refrigerator" Perry. Also in the 2013 WWE Hall of Fame Class are Bruno Sammartino, Mick Foley, Bob Backlund and Trish Stratus.
Tickets for the 2013 WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony are available through all Ticketmaster outlets, www.ticketmaster.com or by calling 1-800-745-3000. Tickets are subject to service charges and facility fees.

ZZ Top was the first band I ever saw live at age 12 during the Fandango tour. I saw you guys in Port Chester NY and have seen and listened to you throughout my life ever since. When I'm down or in need of some good ole' Texas Twang, I crank your music and the world seems somehow much better and safer knowing you are around sharing the world with all of us!
I started playing guitar that same year and after all these years have finally gotten good. Ironically, I acquired a '55 hard tail Strat and a '54 Twin - which when cranked really gets that La Grange tone. Of course, the Bursts through the Plexi's and Bogner Ecstacy's can really nab that ZZ guitar tone when plucking the strings and gettin' the harmonics to sing!
When I lived in Houston in 1980, I acquired my first real car - a 1959 Chevy Impala Convertible named Ellvis. I still have that wonderful ride and even got the state of Mass to give me ELLVIS license plates...
Every time I drive through Tejas (and many other times) I put on some ZZ Top to get that Sh*t-Kickin, Beer-Drinking and Hell Raising mojo going. Keep it up - so to speak.

"We've seen kids come in from the time they were 5 years old up until they graduate, playing ball all the way through," Tommy's Grandstand owner Tom Newell said. "We've seen a lot of kids grow up over the years. A lot of relationships and friendships have developed over the years, too."
While the grill and batting cages are not positioned in the middle of the Rail City, the location in the middle of Sparks' warehouse district has proven beneficial to business for Tommy's Grandstand.
"During the week when the cages are slower because kids are in school, we get a lot of people from around the immediate area that come in for lunch," Newell said. "Then at night and on the weekends, we'll get people that come in to use the cages. It's really a unique business with both of those elements that kind of complement each other and offset the area."
Like many other businesses, Tommy's Grandstand has had to adapt with the downturn of the economy in recent years.
"The economy has been a struggle," Newell said. "We have the battle of any small business as far as prices and profits go. We don't really have any buying power like a large business would have, so we have to accommodate. I'm a family person myself and we're a family oriented place, so we try to adjust prices and keep them fair for our customers and for ourselves."
Although the economy has created a number of obstacles for Tommy's Grandstand, the business is still holding up strong and providing somewhere for everyone in the family to have fun.
Offering food ranging from burgers and specialty sandwiches to a choice of chicken and beverages, patrons can watch sporting events on seven big screen TVs. For the more active consumers, Tommy's Grandstand has five batting cages and four private tunnels where private instruction is available. On top of that, Tommy's Grandstand is continuing to expand its horizons. Customers can now not only practice their baseball swing, but also their golf swing as an automated golf area has been installed in the back of the 17,000 square-foot business. Regardless of the changes though, Tommy's Grandstand's main focus remains to create a family environment.
"We incorporate the whole family," Newell said. "I think that is the biggest difference between us and other places that offer something similar. During the day, people can come in and get something to eat and later in the night mom and dad can bring the kids down to get some swings in while they grab a glass of wine or beer if they like and watch a game on TV. Everyone can enjoy themselves and be comfortable here."

CU: Home • A to Z • Campus Map
By showing that tiny particles injected into a liquid crystal medium adhere to existing mathematical theorems, physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder have opened the door for the creation of a host of new materials with properties that do not exist in nature.
David J. Wineland, a lecturer in the University of Colorado Boulder physics department who today won the 2012 Nobel Prize in physics, was described as both "brilliant and humble" by one of his former graduate students.
One CU-Boulder professor's idea of how to help students learn more grew into such a successful program that it is now a model for schools throughout the nation.
Through the Colorado Learning Assistant Program, more than 1,500 learning assistant positions have been filled at CU-Boulder, helping to improve introductory courses in 10 departments and to positively impact more than 10,000 CU students each year.

News Filmmaker Jay Craven to host workshop and casting session at Vassar, September 20
MARLBORO, VT -- (September 13, 2011) -- Award-winning independent filmmaker and Marlboro College film professor Jay Craven will present an "in the trenches" indie filmmaking workshop for students at Vassar College from 7:30 to 9:30pm, Tuesday, September 20, sponsored by Vassar Filmmakers. A casting session will be held at 9:00pm for student actors.
Craven is preparing to lead Movies from Marlboro, a semester-long film-intensive program at Marlboro College during the spring 2012 term. The program will give 25 undergraduate students the opportunity to earn college credit and professional film credit while working alongside 10 professionals and Screen Actors Guild talent— including Gary Farmer (Smoke Signals, Dead Man) and Bill Raymond (Michael Clayton, The Wire)—on the production of Northern Borders.
The Vassar workshop will provide an inside look and discussion about independent feature filmmaking, from script development and financing to casting, production, festivals and even unconventional modes of distribution, for which Craven is recognized as a pioneer. Craven's first narrative film, High Water, based on the short story by Howard Frank Mosher, will also be shown. Following the screening, Craven will hold a casting session for Northern Borders.
Throughout his directing career, Craven has been known for delivering Hollywood-caliber films with made-for-TV movie budgets. The goal for Northern Borders will be to make a "two million dollar film for $500,000," said Craven, who also plans to utilize student ideas and feedback in the script development, casting and directing processes.
"I've been developing the script in every moment I can grab," said Craven. "I have completed the "build out" of the script—to 200 pages—and have begun to circulate scenes for participating college students to critique and discuss. Students will also be invited to attend fall casting sessions. The idea is to get students involved as soon as possible, for an insider's perspective as film takes shape."
The Movies from Marlboro semester will start in January with a week-long trip to the Sundance Film Festival, followed by six weeks of intensive classes and preparation for the shoot and six weeks of production where students will work in the areas of acting and directing, set and costume design, editing, production management and camera, lighting and sound production.
Students from any college may apply for the 15 non-Marlboro positions until October 15, but are encouraged to check with their own schools for specific deadlines on declaring study-away program enrollment.
More information about Movies from Marlboro is available at: http://movies.marlboro.edu

History… the story of humankind
EMU is a Christian liberal arts college dedicated to Mennonite values of peacebuilding and service. We study history from a global viewpoint, one that highlights our need for one another. Study history with us, and we'll analyze the human experience through a peace and justice lens.
Vincent Harding on campus
In February 2014, the history department was honored to host Vincent Harding, friend and confidant of Martin Luther King, Jr., on campus for several presentations. Listen to a podcast, read about his message to the EMU community (as a former Mennonite pastor himself).
Watch a video of a chapel presentation on EMU and integration by Dr. Mark Sawin as we prepared for the visit to campus by Dr. Harding.
A unique focus on faith in action
EMU history grads treasure our program's social history approach. We focus on groups like women, religious minorities and other individuals often overlooked in conventional history classes. Our history students are exposed to various viewpoints and explore the many ways God works in history through people — the meek and the mighty, the famous and the little-known, major world powers and developing nations.
Our students develop a Christian perspective on evolving economic and political systems and cultural and religious issues. We encourage them to think of the moral and ethical implications of particular ideas and events from the past.
Professors who are mentors
You'll enjoy an excellent teacher-student ratio and the individual attention that a small program can offer. Our faculty are experts who will share the benefits of their years of teaching, international travel, research and writing experience.
History in our backyard
Our campus is only two hours from both Washington, D.C., the nation's capital, and Richmond, the Confederate capital. We're also close to many other historic sites in history-rich Virginia, including the unique Museum of American Frontier Culture in nearby Staunton, many Civil War battlefields, and the National Park Service's historic Sklyine Drive.
