Comments about Cascade Designs MSR Quick 2 Cook System:
I bought MSR Quick 2 Cook System to replace a set of old, but well performing Coleman pot set that I had been using with out fail for years. After research all of the major commercially available cook sets, including the integrated ones like JetBoil, I found the MSR Quick 2 be what I needed. So far the set has performed fabulously. It's easy to clean & is truly no stick, the plates are durable when cutting things like steaks on them and the insulated cups works well with both hot and cold beverages. The lid strainer performs as advertised, All the components store inside the main pot. The only negatives I've come across are these:
1. A bit heavy for 20 miles plus hikes for a single person. If you're an ultra-light die-heard this set might not be for you. However, this set is made for two people so you can either ditch one of the bowls, cups and small pot to cut the weight, or distribute the load between two people as your partner wont need a cook set.
2. While the handle is rock solid while in place, it can be hard to switch the handle to the other pot while on is on a stove and is hot. Solution: buy another handle for the 2nd pot.
While I can't list it as a Con, I personally like taking a small pot, for boiling water etc, and a small fry pan for things like cook meat, neither of the pots really function well as a frying pan as they are deep and the radius too small. But again, this is my personal preference towards frying pans and not what I deem a deficiency in the MSR Quick 2 design. Hope this helps!

Van Leeuwen Ice Cream has SEVEN vegan flavors! We try the Salted Caramel! »
The popular NYC ice cream company Van Leeuwen now has 7 vegan flavors you can buy in stores!!!! THIS IS THE BEST! Why didn't you tell me? Well actually I saw the banana nut flavor but didn't really feel like trying, though I thought it was cool they had an exotic vegan flavor. But I didn't know they had a million vegan flavors! So I saw this Salted Caramel—with Maldon, my favorite salt! (SHUT UP)—at Union Market in Brooklyn and I had to try it because I am such a scientist.
It's delicious! Creamy, salty, caramel-goodness. It's very rich, I don't know how much I could eat in one sitting, but so good. Top a slice of vegan apple pie with a scoop of this and you'll probably die of happiness. But it'll be worth it!
As you see, these are all soy-free. I know some of you like that. They didn't have the Coffee Crunch at Union Market and YOU KNOW I love coffee ice cream! But Van Leeuwen's FB says they have it at the Whole Foods in BK. I hope they also have the Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk!
More exciting news: looks like Van Leeuwen has branched out to LA! Their FB seems to have the truck in Venice mostly but they also said you can get all the vegan flavors at The Oaks Gourmet at 1915 n. Bronson ave. So there you go LA, you get all the good vegan stuff!
Has anyone tried the Coffee Crunch? TELL ME ABOUT IT!

Bring Vegan Ice Cream in Oakland: Curbside! »
There are few things as implicitly good as an ice cream cone on a warm summer's day. It's one of those restore-your-faith-in-humanity kind of joys. I was lucky enough to sample some vegan offerings from a budding Oakland ice cream business, Curbside Creamery. Curbside is still working on funding to build up their brick and mortar storefront (conveniently located in the Temescal Alley, so hip, so posh), but my friend Riley and I were invited to sample some cones and talk with the owner and proprietor, Victoria "Tori" Wentworth.
While Curbside will have both dairy and vegan options, Tori was inspired to open up her business after visiting the all-vegan powerhouse of deliciousness, Lula's Sweet Apothecary in New York. Having a delectable vegan option was a high priority to Tori, based both upon her own politics and the dietary preferences of some close friends. "In my personal life, I've been vegetarian since 2006, due mostly to a heightened awareness of where meat comes from (or rather what it goes through) these days. Many of my friends over the years have been vegan, so the realities of that diet have always been part of my life in a big way. That's why I was aware of the real lack of good vegan options… We all know that buying ice cream in a pint from the store is NOT an equal experience to going to a shop with your friends and getting a fresh scoop on a cone."
While Curbside's exact process is a trade secret, Tori worked very hard to ensure a good vegan product, toiling with the cashew-base base of the ice cream until she got it just right. Whatever she's doing with the cashews, it works. We sampled the Valrhona Chocolate and the Chai Tea. Both were a perfect balance of sweet and creamy, and were a delight to eat out of Curbsides mobile tricycle stand. In the future, Tori will cycle through flavors so every concoction will ultimately have a dairy and a vegan version. Curbside also takes cross-contamination very seriously, and has designated scoops and cleaning tubs. This is both for vegans wanting to avoid animal residue and people who come in with nut allergies.
For updates on Curbside visit their website. If you are dedicated to the principal of helping to open a great vegan-friendly ice cream shop right in Temescal, consider donating to their Kickstarter.
Courtney Flynn lives in Oakland and spends way too much time inventing vegan recipes, reading science fiction and crocheting hats for her dog Blender. She sometimes remembers to update her blog, where she likes to write about food, restaurants and products that don't suck.

Jerry James Stone made three-ingredient vegan ice cream to help us celebrate the Fourth of July in style! It's just strawberries, bananas, and blueberries, so you can serve it to almost anyone. It's so pretty, patriotic, and summery, not to mention totally simple. So make it already! Happy Fourth of July!

It's hot as all get out, let's look at vegan ice cream. »
It's shoot-me-in-the-face hot in NYC today and I'm not in the mood because I had to work all Memorial Day weekend and my coworkers are being total bros. To cheer me up, let's stare at vegan ice cream, shall we? Above is chocolate brownie ice cream from the Minimalist Baker. Damn. I could get down with that.
Now we got some brownie ice cream sandwiches from Keepin' it Kind:
I'm totally ready to tear these up. Instead I have a meeting in 8 minutes.
Finally, let's look at some coconut white Russian ice cream from Quiche a Week:
Ok, let's all promise to eat vegan ice cream today, alright? We owe it to ourselves!

Happy day! Van Leeuwen has vegan ice cream! »

It's a vanilla bean coconut shamrock shake. Maybe a little too late, but maybe not. If you can make it so, then GET UP ON IT.

» Drama at Lula's Sweet Apothecary!
I'm just passing on the news here, but I thought you NYC'ers would want to know about this. Lula's is in danger! From the New York Post:
A bitter divorce battle between the co-owners of a popular vegan East Village ice cream shop is threatening to shutter the hotspot, court records show.
Derek Hackett and ex-wife Blythe Boyd, both of Manhattan, opened Lula's Apothecary in 2008 while still married — quickly establishing a loyal following that included Paul McCartney's ex, Heather Mills.
But the couple got divorced in 2012 — and earlier this month, Hackett filed papers in Manhattan Supreme Court demanding the business be dissolved because Boyd is hoarding the profits for herself.
What do you think? Is this just a tactic and Lula's will never close? I don't know much about divorce but it seems like a messy and tragic business. It will be sad if Lula's closes though, I know many a vegan who cherish that spot.

Alchemy Creamery: Brooklyn-based vegan ice cream with wacky flavors! »
Look what I found in the Carroll Gardens Union Market last night! A new (to me) vegan ice cream, Alchemy Creamery. It's all vegan and also gluten-free, though I don't know if gluten is a concern with vegan ice cream.
There was some sort of pumpkin spice flavor, an apple cinnamon flavor, and then the chocolate chai-flavored "Fixation," which I bought and you see above. It's nice and creamy. In a word: delicious. The flavor is more chai than chocolate I think. The chocolate is bitter enough to balance out the chai though, which I usually find too sweet. Right? Chai is always so sweet. So yeah, this flavor isn't that chocolatey but it is bittersweet enough to balance out the chai sweetness.
I want to try the apple cinnamon one next! Actually, if you look on their site, there's hella crazy flavors I need to try. I will let you know what progress I make. Of course being Megan Rascal, I had to suggest a flavor I want to the makers, that flavor being coffee. Not mocha—strait-up coffee! A nice person named Giuseppe (right?!) answered my email saying he's working on an espresso and donut flavor that will be out in the summer. I say hells yeah to that.
Apparently you can now buy the ice cream at all the Union Markets in city! And they will also deliver to the NYC area. How will we get it to our west coast friends?! I will work on this. But you will have to trade me those vegan cinnamon rolls they have at the SOMA Whole Foods.

You guys know that Vegansaurus BFF quarrygirl has a new video series, right? Once a week you get a snappy new video about some awesome vegan thing, usually in L.A. because they have the nicest things down there, vegan-ly speaking.
In this week's edition of our new vegan video series, we catch up with Mollie Englehart, the owner of Sage Vegan Bistro and Kindkreme dairy-free ice cream parlors. Sage has been open less than 2 years, but has already gained a reputation as one of the best vegan spots in Los Angeles, and is definitely one of my personal favorites. similarly, Kindkreme is the go-to place in LA for vegan dessert and has already opened 3 locations! in this video, Mollie, who was born and raised vegan, fills us in on what inspired her to open Kindkreme and why all foodies should check out Sage.
As if we needed more reasons to want to live and get fat in L.A.!

The iPhone has been plagued with power button issues since the debut of the iPhone 4. We've seen complaints from many readers that their iPhone power buttons are completely recessed and no longer register when pressed. In some cases, they'll still respond but you have to press extremely hard. In severe cases, the power button actually recesses into the casing.
In our experience, power button issues are almost as prevalent as home button issues. As it turns out, the power button itself isn't the culprit at all, the flex cable that sits underneath it is. After so many presses, it just becomes worn down and too thin.
Fortunately, a DIY repair can breath new life into your malfunctioning power button. It'll cost you a lot less than a brand new iPhone and give you lots more life out of your existing one. Regardless which iPhone you have, we've got the guide for you including step by step instructions and links to parts and tools for the suppliers we trust.
If you've got your DIY ninja pants handy, get 'em on and follow along...
The iPhone 4S is still relatively new but that doesn't mean it isn't prone to the same issues the iPhone 4 was considering the overall design of the power button didn't change much at all. The issue isn't actually related to the physical power button at all, but the cable that sits directly below it. This cable controls your power button, ambient light sensor (what senses brightness in a room), proximity sensor (what turns the screen off when the phone is brought to your face), and top mic. If you were experiencing issues with any of these other functions, a new cable may very well prove to solve those issues as well.
While it isn't the easiest repair to perform, it's doable for anyone with moderate to advanced DIY skills. The iPhone 4S isn't a very old device and for most users, a stuck power button probably isn't reason enough to upgrade, especially when you aren't eligible. This repair will get your power button back to perfect working condition in just under 90 minutes if you're taking your time.
Just like the iPhone 4S, the Verizon and Sprint variant of the iPhone 4 is just as prone to power button issues, if not more-so. If you find your power button to be recessed or it has stopped registering presses, this DIY repair can help you correct the problem. As in other iPhone models, the actual power button isn't the issue, again it's the cable that lies beneath it. After so many presses, it just becomes worn down and too thin to register when you're pressing it.
While this repair is a little easier than replacing the power button flex cable in the iPhone 4S, we'd still rate it at moderate to advanced. As long as you have some patience and a steady hand, we're confident you can get your Verizon or Sprint iPhone 4 power button back in working condition in around 60 minutes.
The GSM variant of the iPhone 4 is where all power button and home button problems began. Since then, each iteration of the iPhone has had its own set of issues when it comes to these two components failing. It's too early to tell whether this will be the case with the iPhone 5 but in our teardown, we can see it being an issue there too.
Either way, a power button DIY repair on the GSM/AT&T iPhone 4 isn't too much different than that of the Verizon and Sprint iPhone 4. It'll be a different component but the repair, in a lot of ways, is similar. If you're up to the challenge, you can expect it to take you right around 60 minutes if you're taking your time and following the directions we've provided. Just like the iPhone 4S and Verizon and Sprint iPhone 4, the issue is the cable that lies beneath the power button. Follow along and we'll show you how to replace it as well as give you links to where you can find the right tools and replacement tools to get the job done right the first time.
Whether you aren't sure if these are the repairs you need or you've already started a repair and have run into issues, our jailbreak, mod, and DIY forums are a great place to ask for help.
If you have questions you can't seem to find answers to or would like to see another type of repair guide we don't currently offer, you can always email us as well.
Additional resources:
Could you please do a fix on a stuck or not working iPhone 5 power button? Mine has not worked for a month and I've never dropped it :( Thanks!
You have warranty, why would you want to try and fix it yourself and void your warranty in the process...
I have an iphone 4 and my power button still works but I have to press it hard. Should I buy a new power button ? Or just clean it or is there another way to fix it instead of buying a new one thanks!!!

By John A. Byrne
(Poets&Quants) -- It was just a few days before Christmas in 2011 when Bhavin Parikh got the email he will never forget. He was on his way to a family dinner in Massachusetts when the message popped into the inbox on his smartphone. It was from his good friend and business partner Hansoo Lee in Berkeley, Calif.
The two were recent MBA graduates from the Haas School of Business at UC-Berkeley who together founded Magoosh, an online test prep company.
"Hey Bhavin," wrote Lee, "I've been diagnosed with a rare form of lung cancer..."
With those simple yet startling words, Parikh's whole world came crashing down. Lee was the last person he could ever imagine falling ill. His 33-year-old partner rarely smoked. He was fit, active, and full of life. From the very first time they met at Haas as incoming MBA students in 2008, Lee impressed him as a bright and daring young man with a driving ambition and a relentless focus on wanting to become an entrepreneur.
In their fledgling Internet business, Lee was the extroverted leader, an expansive visionary who was always thinking big. By contrast, Parikh was the quiet, contemplative one, the sometimes reluctant, always soft-spoken conservative who often had to be, in his own words, "dragged, kicking and screaming" through the more ambitious objectives pushed by Lee.
By the time Parikh returned to the West Coast, his friend would be forced to give up his active role at their company, and Parikh would be stretched as a leader and as a friend. When Lee was diagnosed, Parikh was deeply concerned about the long-term viability of their business. Magoosh was burning through cash, with month after month of negative cash flow.
And now Parikh was fast losing the friend and partner who convinced him to launch the startup in the first place. The day-to-day interactions that defined their working relationship would devolve into weekly strolls around Berkeley, then monthly phone calls, and finally an occasional email. Some 15 months later, on March 4, 2013, Lee passed away, a victim of complications from Stage IV lung cancer.
If Lee were alive today, he would be proud of his partner and the business they created together. He would also be thrilled to know that his friend can still hear his voice, exhorting him to move faster and bolder, to offset his more natural tendency to play it safe.
The pair first met in 2008 at an admit weekend at the Haas School of Business at the University of California at Berkeley. Lee, then 30, was about to leave Wal-Mart (WMT), where he was a senior manager of logistics, strategy, and planning, to get his MBA degree. An Amherst grad born to Korean parents and raised in Florida, Lee had already been the first employee at an Internet startup and knew he wanted to create his own business. Parikh, then 26, had spent five years as a senior consultant at Deloitte after graduating from Duke University. Parikh, raised in Pittsburgh, wasn't sure what he would do with his MBA but loved working for Deloitte in Philadelphia.
When the two reported to campus in August 2008, they found themselves in the same cohort of 60 incoming MBA students. They also ended up working together on a case competition involving technology and healthcare. "We did this case together and it was okay," recalls Parikh. "Nothing really came of it." Except one thing: They met another MBA student, Pejman Pour-Moezzi, who would bring them a big idea.
"He said, 'Hey, I'm working on something," says Parikh. ""I'd like to show you guys to see if you would be interested.' That was half way through the first semester."
They strolled over to his apartment off campus and Pour-Moezzi described the idea he called Magoosh, a play on a Persian word "Magush," which refers to a wise person. The concept was to create a community of users who would help each other prepare for the GMAT exam. The forum would be similar to an existing service, BeatTheGMAT, but the interface would embed GMAT prep software. Pour-Moezzi, who had also been a Deloitte consultant before going to Haas, had been working on it with a friend from Deloitte, Vikram Shenoy, who had a master's in computer science from the University of Southern California.
"It was people-powered test prep, a hybrid of test prep with a forum," says Parikh. "At the apartment, Hansoo was visibly excited about education. He was passionate about it. He was on the board of an education non-profit. He came to school knowing he wanted to be an entrepreneur. He came to business school with a vision and a purpose. For me, I was interested in technology."
They worked together over the next few months, launching a crude site in December 2008 and buying Google AdWords to help people find it. The first iteration didn't really take, but none of them gave up on it, either. Lee and Parikh decided to relinquish their chance at a summer internship. "For Hansoo, giving up an internship was a no-brainer," remembers Parikh. "For me, I at least had a safety net back at Deloitte. The worst thing that could happen is we don't pursue Magoosh, but I get this amazing experience to work on a company and I could always go back to Deloitte."
The failure of the product's early iteration got them thinking. "Between January and May of 2009, when we realized that the idea of user-based test prep wasn't really working, we started researching why it wasn't working," says Parikh. "We surveyed a lot of our classmates who had taken the GMAT in the past few years. That's when we realized that what people want are credible experts who know the test. That's where they want to get their explanations."
They created mockups of the product, put them in PowerPoint, and asked classmates to come and click through them as if the slides were a website. "As we got feedback," says Parikh, "we would move the boxes around and change the language and have them click again. We kept doing this until we got to a point where people said, 'This makes sense. I would sign up for that.' That is when we decided to build it." They contracted with a GMAT tutor in Vancouver to supply instructional videos on their site.
So during those summer months, they poured themselves into building the new product. Shenoy returned to India to work on it from there. With Pour-Moezzi, who chose to take an internship at Mozilla, Lee rented a place on Arch St. in Berkeley. It quickly became the first official Magoosh headquarters. They worked in the basement or on the back patio every day, engrossed in the build that was informed by a Workshop for Startups taught the previous semester by Professor David Charron.
Lee and Parikh started to click. "Hansoo and I had a really good rhythm," says Parikh." It was easy to communicate. We developed a close bond. The one thing Hansoo and I had that was truly special was that we were both completely committed to Magoosh."
Out of that shared interest came a deep and profound friendship, even a dependence. "It was well beyond a business thing," says Parikh. "We spent a lot of time together in social settings. We drank together. We ate together." They would typically saunter over to Cesar, a tapas bar in North Berkeley where Lee would swill scotch and Parikh would down Imperial Stout. They'd block out the date on a calendar every two weeks on Thursday nights.
By July, they had an MVP -- a minimal viable product. "It's the minimum you could put out that might show value to customers," adds Parikh. "The first time we put it out it was one question, one video explanation, and a box for people to enter their email address. It was a quant question. And then we just started building the site in front of people's eyes. We added a question and another question and then 10 questions. We kept improving the product to turn on payment in late August or early September of 2009. That was when we had our first paying customer. That was a big day because we had finally built something that someone was willing to pay for. We charged $29 a month."
By the time their second year of MBA studies began, they were feeling pretty good. The big challenge, however, was whether they could grow the business to pursue it full-time after graduation in May 2010. "At some point, you start getting less excited about each incremental sale and start thinking about how is this going to sustain the business?" Parikh recalls worrying. "How are we going to pay ourselves, cover expenses, and scale the business? It was tough to make the decision to pursue the startup. But Hansoo was definitely a driving force. 'Let's do it,' he said. 'We'll regret it if we don't.'"
Lee and Parikh decided to move forward. Pour-Moezzi ultimately chose to take a job with Microsoft (MSFT) when he got his MBA. Shenoy, already in India, left the business when it became harder to remain a partner remotely from another country.
The close bond Lee and Parikh formed during those summer months revealed major personality differences between the two and a number of constructive disagreements. "He was more fearless in the sense that he was willing to put himself out there. He wanted to go and meet as many people as he could and tell the world what we were working on. I was a little more reserved and practical. I was okay with telling customers about it, but when it came to investors I said, 'Let's not really bother with them. Let's really nail it.' But he had this confidence that was amazing. He was charismatic and he had this vision of where we could take the company.
"When I couldn't think of a way to execute on something, I would sometimes assume it just wasn't possible. For Hansoo, nothing was impossible. He was that driving force. He would say, 'We could do this. And my job was to ask, 'Okay, how do we get there?' He stretched me, and then I actually helped us move the ball forward."
Their biggest dispute occurred shortly after they graduated and were working full time on the business in the fall of 2010. Up until then, they had scrounged together about $70,000 for their business, having won $10,000 in an Intel-UC-Berkeley contest and $50,000 from Northbridge Venture Partners. But now Lee felt strongly that they needed to raise significantly more money from investors to grow the company. Parikh preferred to bootstrap their business. The disagreement was so profound that at one point Parikh suggested that he would be willing to leave the business altogether.
"Those were tough discussions," recalls Parikh. "He felt that if we raised funding, we would be able to really make a difference: to grow Magoosh much bigger, to reach more people, to serve test prep to a lot of people who don't have access to it today. The potential was so much greater. For me, it was more of the practical side. If we raise funding, we're going to have to grow big, and at the time, I thought we would have to give up some equity and control."
It was during a lengthy three-hour walk around the Berkeley campus that Lee tried to convince his friend to go along with a plan to raise $750,000. "At one point, I said, 'You know, if you really believe in this, maybe I shouldn't continue on in the company because maybe this is not what I want. It's what you want.' That was not an option for him. He said, 'No we are doing this together, and I'm going to convince you.'And he did."
By April 2011, Lee was able to raise half a million dollars. They used the money to build a team, market their product, pay each other modest salaries, and get a real office. The GMAT prep product began to take off, and then they began focusing on the GRE, which was about to change in August 2011. Magoosh got its new GRE product out the door a month before the launch of the new test. In November, Lee was on Fox Business to promote Magoosh's new SAT prep service. He looked his usual charismatic and promotional self, talking up the benefits of offering test prep for free to high school students who otherwise might not be able to access those services.
Little more than a month later, Parikh would get the email from his friend while in a car on his way to dinner with his wife's family. "I saw it and I didn't say anything," he remembers. "As we were getting out of the car, I told my wife."
There would be a flurry of emails over the next few days, including Lee's belief that his prognosis was pretty good. When the diagnosis was made on December 21, no one knew how lethal the disease would become. Two days before Christmas, Lee checked into UCSF Medical Center for a lymph node biopsy. Genetic tests suggested that his cancer could be treated with a drug called Tarceva, a more targeted and less toxic treatment.
Parikh would slowly assume more and more of Lee's duties as chief executive officer. Every week, he would walk to Lee's nearby apartment, and the two would stroll through Berkeley. The company hadn't hit its stride. It was making some money, but not enough to pay everyone's salary. So there was much to discuss.
"We had thought about raising a true Series A round in the millions, but with him being out, that would have been exceptionally hard because he was the face of Magoosh. I had relationships with investors, but not to the degree he did. But those walks energized him because instead of thinking about ... his prognosis, he began to think about Magoosh and the progress of the company."
On February 19, good news arrived. The results of his first scan -- after taking Tarceva for over a month and undergoing two weeks of targeted radiation -- were encouraging. It showed significant shrinkage of the tumor in his lung.
On March 10, however, Lee was rushed to the emergency room when his left lung stopped working. He had to have an emergency broncosopy to restore breathing into his left lung. "As things got worse for him, we started doing monthly phone calls, and then he moved to San Francisco to be closer to the hospital," remembers Parikh.
By mid-April, his doctors assigned him to a more traditional regimen of chemo in addition to the Tarceva. Two months later, after a third round of chemotherapy, Lee wrote on his Facebook page that the treatment had "tested me physically, mentally and emotionally more than anything I've ever encountered.... The constant reminders of my disease are difficult to avoid. Bring a vigilant patient versus being all consumed by my disease is a balancing act that is taxing on the psyche."
Increasingly, Parikh found himself alone. "At first, it was hard," he says. "We always talked about how he and I had a good tension. Knowing that he wasn't around, I had to keep myself in check. He knew it was a bit of a challenge for me. He would talk to me about it and tried to share his optimism and almost infect me with his optimism."
Parikh led Magoosh to a cash flow positive state by May 2012 and raised $250,000 of additional funding on his own. "At that point, I started to gain a lot of confidence that we can do something special here," says Parikh, whose only contact with his partner became an occasional email exchange.
In July, Lee posted a photo of himself propped up with pillows in a hospital bed. He was bare-chested in the photo, his green hospital gown pulled down to his waist. There was an oxygen tube in his nose and his legs were wrapped in white bandages. A month later, on August 8, Lee had completed his fifth chemo cycle, an eight-hour procedure at UCSF. He was taking 20 pills a day just to combat the side effects of the chemo.
Then, nothing. Lee fell silent. It was less than eight months since his diagnosis. But there were no more Facebook posts, no more emails. "I remember thinking I hadn't heard from him in awhile," says Parikh. "I started getting nervous but didn't want to. I would email periodically and say, 'Hey, I'm thinking of you. Hope things are getting better.' He didn't need to respond because I didn't want him to feel any obligation."
The Christmas holiday passed, and on Jan. 30, while at a dinner with the Magoosh team, Parikh received an email from Lee saying he was returning from the hospital and that things were looking better. The Magoosh team filmed a celebratory video for Lee's 35th birthday on February 21 and posted it on Facebook. But Lee fell too ill to ever acknowledge it.
In Parikh's last conversation with Lee, two weeks before he died on March 4, 2013, Parikh was on the phone for a full hour. "He sounded very coherent. He asked me how the team was doing. It was a very good, positive conservation. He told me two things: He wanted to make sure I would stay focused on the right aspects of the business, and he wanted me not to think too small. I never expected anything to happen over the next two weeks."
After Lee's death, Parikh would work closely with Lee's fiancée, Wendy Lim, and Pour-Moezzi, to create the Hansoo Lee fellowship to honor their friend. The fellowship provides a stipend and mentorship to help Berkeley-Haas MBA students pursue entrepreneurial ventures full-time instead of pursuing an internship -- just as Lee and Parikh did during the summer of 2009.
Magoosh continues to thrive under Parikh. There are now more employees at Magoosh who never met Lee than those who did. The company remains cash flow positive and has grown from a team of five to 13 full-time staffers, and it is making a big dent in the GRE space and starting to have a bigger impact in the GMAT prep world. The platform has more than 200 lesson videos and over 1,000 explanation videos, one for every test question. Magoosh boasts customers from more than 150 countries, with 70% of users based in the U.S.
What remains of Lee are the memories and a legacy carried out by a friend. "I miss him every day," says Parikh. "I think about what he would say to me personally. I can see his mannerisms and sometimes hear his voice. There are some things he said that stick with me and I use them as fuel to just continue growing the business. I knew that what he wanted for me was to push forward. It didn't feel like there was another option, really. Hopefully, he is looking down and saying, 'This is what I wanted.'"

Yes, Bob, it's the algebra I have difficulty with. But in addition, I don't see how you can look at what I originally described in my first post and be able to know each of the pieces that have to be solved and the formulas needed. The right triangle I can remember. But I am really very impressed with your knowing how to solve this -- and then being able to explain it in a way that a dunce like me can understand it.
hi otg,
I've made a diagram below that should help.
I made a square, r by r and took off a smaller amount 'a' from each side. Then I split the square into four parts.
First part is a square r - a on each side, so its area is
That's the area we need.
The second and third parts are rectangles, one is r by a, the other is a by r.
So together they have area
But if you put these three back together, to make the r by r square the rectangles overlap, so I'm counting some area twice.
Can you see that the amount I've got twice is
So to make the original square, r by r, you need
Re-arrange this
It is quite a common mistake to miss out that 2ra term.
Let's try with numbers to make sure we've got the right thing.
Can you see you don't get the right answer if you miss out the 2ra term?
So back to your question.
What is
So here a = 0.11037
I hope that is clear.
Thanks, Bob, for all the work you put into this. With my math at a deficit, I tried reviewing some of the subjects available here to try and refresh my memory and understand each of the steps you illustrated. I also added the colored triangles in this image (i46.tinypic.com/demija.jpg) so I could better visualize what you were doing, and then I added the values of the triangle sides as they were calculated. (This was just a visual aid for me to try and avoid confusion in going between the two different views.)
Thank you so much, Bob. I printed it so I can make sure I understand it all. Not that I doubt it at all, I just want to make sure I do understand it. I'm amazed that it could be solved with Pythagoras. I thought it would be a lot more complicated than that. But it just shows how a brilliant mind can "cut through the weeds" to find only the necessary information. Thanks!
Oh good. I must have been making some sort of sense then. Brain now re-freshed. I have a plan.
Pythag on OFC
Pythag on FPC
square both sides
cancel the r squared and re-arrange
I will just check this ........
EDIT: checked. I cannot find any errors. Value seems small but fits with the original diagram where it was small.
You asked for the diameter. I'll leave that as an exercise for you.
hi otg
That's exactly it! If a flat surface were to intersect with the sphere, or two spheres with one another, the intersection would be a circle. Yes?
hi otg
Thanks, Bob.
hi otg
Thanks in advance to anyone who might be able to help me. I'm not a mathematician (obviously), or much of an expert at anything worth mentioning. But I've searched all over for a solution, or a way to figure this out, and haven't found it. I ran across this site, and was fascinated with all the information available, but still didn't find an answer. Here's the problem:

Doris Wilson, 50, and Darren Wilson, 52, were found dead in a home on Asbury Avenue late Sunday. Anniston police Lt. Fred Forsythe said Doris Wilson had been stabbed to death. The cause of death for Darren Wilson was undetermined. The bodies have been sent to a state forensics lab in Huntsville for autopsy.
Forsythe said the relationship of the victims had not been determined. Police are still investigating the incident, but expect a preliminary report this afternoon or Tuesday. A full toxicology report will take six to eight months to complete, Forsythe said.
Police received a call around noon Sunday about a possible stabbing in a home at the 4400 block of Asbury Avenue. Anniston police interim Chief Shane Denham said police tried for several hours to contact anyone who might be in the dwelling, with no success. At one point, Denham said, police contacted Alabama Power to cut off electricity at the home to disable security cameras outside.
Forsythe said that at 4:25 p.m. police released tear gas into the home to force anyone inside out of the home.
Police used a robotic device to determine that two bodies were in the home, Forsythe said. Police entered the home around 6 p.m. No one else was found at the scene.

Burdette Park
[ 9/10 ]
Level sites with easy entry and excellent utilities. The RV park sits above the main park that has a huge pool, several fishing lakes, a BMX track and hiking trails. Reservations were easy. The park staff were wonderful; helpful, courteous, kind etc. There was a BBQ Music Festival over the weekend that was great. There were 40' coaches that fit easily, but some sites for smaller units have trees nearby. Our dog had a great time. There are woods and fields near the campground. There are also cabins and shelters to rent. We will return.

Kentucky Lake / I-24 / Paducah KOA

Twenty miles to Paducah, but much closer to the dam. Staff were great, friendly, and informative regarding the area. It is an old, old park. I could not have used most of the 40 or so sites "down the hill. Our coach is 32'. The staff makes the place. Utilities were perfect. Our site was level, well graveled and the entry road was narrow, but short. The KOA sign on 62 was easily seen from either direction. Pool sparkled and checkin was smooth. We were even reminded to check our lights when we hooked-up in front of the office. We had a pull-thru, but had to unhook to fit. We were there for the KOA BOGO weekend. Not stop again.

Great overnight stop. Easy wide entry, friendly staff, easy to follow campground map. Power, etc. well situated on long wide site. I-24 road noise not noticable with a/c, or our fan operating. No park noise. Antenna TV easy accessed. Multiple marked dog walks. We stopped here previously, and have always been pleased.
Newport, Tennessee
Newport / I-40 / Smoky Mountains KOA
[ 8/10 ]
The inside and outside staff were terrific, even after a huge rainstorm was flooding the entranceway bridge. We were met and directed over. The entry road to the bridge is very narrow and tree lined. Sites were dry enough. The sites are designed so that utilities are situated at the rear of the pull-throughs, next to the toad, and the waste waters must run uphill. It was quiet and comfortable. We might stay again but I'll ask for a downhill drained site. The workampers made the difference.
Chattanooga, Tennessee
Camping World RV Sales of Chattanooga
[ 8/10 ]
This park is located next to their store, with easy access from freeway. Adequate sites and services. We stopped overnight and would do so again.
Clarksville, Tennessee
Clarksville RV Park & Campground
[ 8/10 ]
A good overnight stop. It was a bit muddy but it had been snowing, etc. There is very easy freeway access, and a clean well kept campground. We'll stop again.
Troy, Alabama
Deer Run RV Park
[ 9/10 ]
This park has easy freeway access with concrete parking spaces. It is a beautiful place with large ponds, and if it wasn't so cold we would have stayed longer. The staff was super friendly with hot chocolate and a golf cart lead to our site.
Tampa, Florida
Bay Bayou RV Resort
[ 10/10 ]
This is one of the best run campgrounds that we have stayed in, over our six years and many thousands of coach miles. Super pet friendly and usable water on two sides. It is near the race track and supermarkets. A very nice pool. The "workout" equipment however, is in the community room and was not conducive to our use. There is a YMCA nearby. We stayed for February.
Jasper, Florida
Florida Gateway Resort
[ 10/10 ]
This is an excellent spot to spend some time. We could only stop for the night after a tire blew. The staff was very helpful in obtaining tire service. There are sites with hot tubs even, and very well cared for grounds. Passport America too.
South Daytona, Florida
South Daytona RV Park & Tropical Gardens, LLC
[ 5/10 ]
There are no gardens on-site; no propane, no restaurant, no visible security, no store, no ice, no pool room, no horseshoes and no shuffleboard or fishing. Wi-Fi and cable were not accessible at my site. After two years the pool is not there but the Tiki Hut is very nice with running water. I was told that there was a hot tub in an industrial building but that it was broken. They do not spray for fire ants of which there are thousands. We stayed for over a month. It was sunny and warm!
Tucumcari, New Mexico
Kiva RV Park
[ 7/10 ]
A great overnight that might be muddy if it ever rained. A little strange entrance but the staff was super helpful. The site services worked properly and the site was flat. Easy exit to the freeway. For some reason there were a lot of moths. They have a usable dog park and are next to a larger park.
Las Vegas, Nevada
Sam's Town Casino & RV Park
[ 9/10 ]
A very nice place. Well kept grounds and pool. Newspaper available. Smooth roads and flat sites. Three nights for $68.32 with an RV rally coupon. Registering gets a two for one meal at the restaurant. We recommend this place highly.
East St Louis, Illinois
Casino Queen RV Park
[ 9/10 ]
A very well kept stop with a very helpful staff. We were there when a couple of tornadoes roared through and the staff escorted us to the restrooms. The weather was so bad that we never made it to the casino which was our impetus to stop. The "long" pull-throughs were just long enough for us to stay hooked up. we are 32' pulling a CRV. As I said, the staff were very concerned about our safety and it was appreciated. We'll stop again.
Big Cabin, Oklahoma
Big Cabin RV Park
[ 9/10 ]
A super overnight. Easy entry/exit. 80' long wide flat pull-throughs. Large grassy well cut lawn. All services worked and a friendly office staff. The diesel office has RV supplies and does repairs etc. There are even some cows fenced behind the park to look at. We'll stop again.
Picacho, Arizona
Picacho Peak RV Resort (55+ park)
[ 9/10 ]
Paved roads and gravel sites. All services excellent. Staff friendly. Probably very hot in the summer. Dog park OK. No newspaper. Great overnight stop.
Arkadelphia, Arkansas
Arkadelphia Campground
[ 7/10 ]
Really close to the freeway and noisy. All services worked. Easy entry/exit.
Ranger, Texas
RL RV Park LLC
[ 6/10 ]
A good overnight stop. Friendly residents and a pretty level site. Utilities all worked. Pretty easy entry/exit.
Las Cruces, New Mexico
Coachlight Inn & RV Park
[ 7/10 ]
Hidden behind a motel with gravel roads but flat sites and all services worked. Not too difficult entry and exit. We might stop again.

Question by dzone 1145 · May 12 '11 at 04:32 PM · health anecdotes lycanthropy
Are there some health related things that you know are true (at least for you) but for which there is no scientific basis? This could be something that affects your health positively or negatively. Let me get this out of the way: we know that correlation does not equal causation (yada yada) but go ahead and tell us about it anyway.
For example, I know that I sleep worst on full moons. I don't have an almanac at my house and don't keep track of the phases of the moon, however, like clockwork, I will have really bad sleep the few days around and on the full moon. It has happened too many times for me to ignore.
If you're not sleeping in a room with full blackout blinds, it could be that the increased light is messing with your sleep.
I knew when I posted this, it was going to be the object of derision (see some of below posts), however, at least I am happy that Carnivorous Carly has recognized that I am a man :)Seriously, I don't think my question is that silly. We all experience things (in various parts of our life) that may have not been scientifically proven. Now sometimes those might be illusions, etc, but sometimes there is stuff that just has not yet been scientifically proven yet. I mean, "gravity" didn't begin with Newton's discovery, yet people might have observed they didn't fly off the earth.

I KNOW my child and I ARE gluten intolerent, despite what the medical "tests" may or may not say if we decide to have them. My partner can tell if my littlun has been contaminated with gluten as soon as he sees her. We both experience ridiculous bloating, dark cirlces under our eyes, digestive problems, but it's all my head right? Isn't this a fad diet?
Answer by UncleLongHair 880 · May 12 '11 at 06:10 PM
Mood and attitude has at least as much to do with overall health, if not more, than what you eat and how you exercise.
The "food pyramid" is upside down.
In most cases, taking medicine every day is probably worse for you than not taking it.

The cause of cancer is cellular homeostasis based.......not disease based as is currently believed.
That hormone status is critical to understanding cellular homeostasis
Timing is more critical to eating than substance
That the government actually knows they are harming American health with food policies to support the only industry that we can export with high profits.....grain, wheat, corn, and soybeans
That there is no concept as random chance ever
That life does come down the the Heisenberg uncertainty principle
Yes could you elaborate on "Timing is more critical to eating than substance" please Dr K.

vinegar helps me with my heartburn, though when I've told doctors this they claim that I am only making it worse by drinking vinegar. My response to them is "if its making it worse then why does it make it go away?"
I think this is more along the lines of doctors doing their "job" and trying to lead people to the pharmacy rather than leading them to a holistic healing center. pppffft! rolls eyes

That mind-set (optimism, trust, happiness) can give you 15+ year of life-span. Related, that most people basically choose when they want to die, within a wide range.

They are not really trying to cure cancer. Treating cancer patients is too big of an industry.
Answer by Matt 1 14270 · May 13 '11 at 05:38 PM
Can I add something I suspect to be true rather than know?
I suspect that the current fashion for megadosing vitamin D supplements to achieve very high blood vitamin D levels will in the long-term turn out to be unnecessary or even harmful.
Purely a suspicion though.
Edit: Oh I certainly think there are benefits to it, I just wonder if the majority of people would not get the same benefit from 1000-2000 units a day over the long-term. It's the 5000-10000 units a day I wonder about. Humans have not consumed these amount orally before, and the body cannot regulate the intake in the same way skin production is regulated. There have been no long-term studies on high level supplementation.
Currently little of the research on vitamin D looks at the conversion of cholecalciferol (the pro-hormone found in supplements) into the active form (calcitriol). Levels of calcitriol are rarely measured even though this is the active form of vitamin D.
Also the gene for the vitamin D receptor comes in several different types. So the vitamin D receptors in the cells of some people are more sensitive to the effects of vitmain D than in others.
I tend to think about the things we might not know about yet.

The next morning, Maggie gets dressed and packs her backpack, eats breakfast, and rushes to the bus. She sits by Alexis. They talk about Julia being sick. When they get to school, they go to Mrs.Whitelaw for grammer class and Math class. Next they go to science, spelling and Wordly Wise with Mr. Farmer. After that the bell rings, and class is dismissed by Mr. Farmer.
Maggie and Alexis are walking home, When they saw a graveyard they went inside. They saw a pretty statue. Alexis went up and touched it. "It moved," said Alexis, "I felt it." "It was just your imagination," said Maggie, Statues cant move, Your crazy said Alexis ,I felt it ,Oh yeah said Maggie. "I'll go touch it. See, it's just a statue." They walked home. Alexis told Maggie's dad about that the statue. He didn't believe her. Alexis went home mad. When Maggie got in her bed, she couldn't stop thinking about the statue. She wondered if its real.
The next morning she talked to Alexis about the statue. After school Maggie and Alexis went back to the graveyard the statue was gone! "Oh, no!" said Alexis. "Someone must have stolen it". "What do we do?" said Alexis. "Ask somebody," said Maggie. They found a man in the graveyard. They asked the man, "Have you seen a statue?" He answered, "What a statue? I haven't seen a statue in here for years." Maggie and Alexis were confused. "Well, we saw one yesterday," they said. " I'm telling you the truth." said the man. "I don't care," said Alexis. "Let's go," said Maggie. When Alexis and Maggie got home they found the statue on the porch with a bloody sword.

Kansas City Chiefs 2013 Offseason Preview
SI.com is laying out offseason road maps for all 32 teams as they start their journey for the Lombardi Trophy -- two teams per day, from the teams that need the most work to contend in 2013 to the ones that are in pretty good shape. See them all.
2012 Record: 2-14
Key Pending Free Agents: Branden Albert, OT; Dwayne Bowe, WR; Dustin Colquitt, P; Glenn Dorsey, DE; Peyton Hillis, RB; Brady Quinn, QB.
List of Draft Picks (pending compensatory picks): 1 (1), 2 (34), 3 (63), 4 (96), 5 (127), 6 (160), 7 (191).
Available Cap Space: $14.0 million
GM/Coaching moves made: Hired general manager John Dorsey, head coach Andy Reid, offensive coordinator Doug Pederson, defensive coordinator Bob Sutton.
The returns of running back Jamaal Charles, safety Eric Berry and tight end Tony Moeaki, each of whom missed all or most of the 2011 season because of ACL injuries, had Chiefs fans feeling hopeful going into 2012. Some pundits even predicted Kansas City would win the AFC West, just like it did in 2010.
The optimism vanished quickly, however, as the Chiefs lost 11 of their first 12 games. Their only victory during that stretch came in overtime in New Orleans. In fact, Kansas City never led in regulation until Charles' 12-yard touchdown run gave it a 7-0 lead over the Steelers in Week 10, a game the Chiefs would lose, 16-13.
The Chiefs' only other victory came a little more than 24 hours after the most tragic day in franchise history. On Saturday, Dec. 1, linebacker Jovan Belcher shot and killed his girlfriend before driving to the Chiefs' headquarters, where he thanked GM Scott Pioli and coach Romeo Crennel for what they did for him before shockingly turning a gun on himself and committing suicide. Under the leadership and guidance of Crennel, a distraught Chiefs team managed to regroup and beat Carolina the next day at home.
Although five players were voted to the Pro Bowl -- Charles, Berry, linebackers Tamba Hali and Derrick Johnson, and punter Dustin Colquitt -- too many things went wrong for a team that finished last in the AFC West for the fourth time in five years. Neither Matt Cassel nor Brady Quinn provided much production. Before suffering a concussion in a Week 5 game against Baltimore, Cassel threw nine interceptions; he finished the season with 12 picks and only six touchdowns. Although Quinn quarterbacked the Chiefs to their win over Carolina, he was even less productive, with two touchdown passes and eight interceptions.
The team's dismal performance cost general manager Scott Pioli and Crennel their jobs after the season.
149.7. Average rushing yards per game by the Chiefs, who finished first in the AFC and fifth overall behind Washington, Minnesota, Seattle and San Francisco.
Injuries are a concern for safety Kendrick Lewis, who missed the first five games of the 2012 season with a shoulder injury (he played in only nine games overall) and has been on the injury list all too often in his three seasons. Lewis needs to take a refresher course in fundamentals and refine his tackling technique. He isn't considered to be a hard hitter, and he often plays too conservatively. But as he frequently is the last line of defense, he needs to reduce his number of whiffs.
3.6. Number of tackling attempts by Kendrick Lewis for every tackle he makes, the worst ratio for any safety.
If there were any doubts he could return to form after suffering a serious, season-ending knee injury in the second game of the 2011 season, running back Jamaal Charles erased all concerns last season. Displaying his customary speedy, elusive style, Charles rushed 285 times for 1,509 yards (5.3 yards per carry) and five touchdowns. Only Minnesota's Adrian Peterson, Washington rookie Alfred Morris and Seattle's Marshawn Lynch rushed for more yards. Charles set a franchise record with 233 rushing yards in an overtime win at New Orleans and also had a 226-yard game against Indianapolis en route to his second Pro Bowl selection.
1. Find a new starting quarterback. Cassel was supposed to be the Tom Brady of the Midwest when Pioli, the former Patriots personnel guru, acquired Cassel from his old team in a trade during the spring of 2009. Except for the 2010 season, when he passed for 27 touchdowns and only seven interceptions, Cassel largely has been a disappointment. So has Quinn, who has played for three teams in five seasons and looks like he'll never be better than a journeyman.
2. Acquire another cornerback to pair with Brandon Flowers. Although Javier Arenas and Jalil Brown each played well at times last season, the Chiefs need a second high-quality corner who can consistently defend the pass. They might be better off finding a veteran in free agency instead of trying to fill this need in the draft.
3. Bring in some more playmakers at receiver. Even if the Chiefs re-sign wideout Dwayne Bowe, who led the team with 59 catches for 801 yards and three touchdowns, they need to get some complementary talent. Whoever winds up starting at quarterback will need more options.
Once Green Bay's director of football operations, Dorsey worked for many years under Packers general manager Ted Thompson, who believes the way to build a team is through the draft, not free agency. Dorsey likely will follow the same principal, but don't expect him to find a franchise quarterback in the 2013 draft. There may not be a quarterback with a first-round grade, so the Chiefs might consider trading out of the top spot and acquiring more picks.
If Dorsey and Reid decide they can live with Cassel, then they might keep the No. 1 pick overall and address other needs in the draft. If they don't believe Cassel is the answer, they may have to pursue a veteran. The free-agent quarterbacks are a weak group once you get past Joe Flacco, who is almost certain to be back with the Ravens one way or another, but perhaps Kansas City could make a play for Alex Smith, who is unlikely to return to the 49ers.
The Broncos will be favored to repeat in what looks to be a week AFC West. It's going to take Dorsey and Reid a couple of years to make Kansas City contenders again, meaning Chiefs fans and owner Clark Hunt will have to be patient.

Andrea came to kindergarten sort of speaking three languages: Spanish, English, and Kanjobal. After five years of English Immersion classes, she is still struggling to communicate—in any language.
Latinos are the largest ethnic minority group in the Southwest, and the fastest growing in the United States. More than one-third of Latino students are English Language Learners, and according to the U.S. Department of Education, they consistently perform poorly on state tests and have lower graduation rates than Whites and Asians.
California, Arizona, and Massachusetts are three states that have replaced bilingual education with an English immersion model. While this move was intended to help close the achievement gap, many experts are questioning the results.
From Fronteras, Senior Field Correspondent Devin Browne tells the story of Andrea, a young girl that Devin met while she was teaching school in a part of Los Angeles called MacArthur Park...
This story is part of the national series American Graduate, public media's response to our nation's high school dropout crisis.

Game released a few weeks ago. Not bad, but the first was quite good. It's not as short as reviewers would claim, probably 7-8 hours. Graphics are awesome, controls are solid, story's ok (but not where I would've went). Force powers are not really expanded from the first.
My one peeve is that awesome "Snow" commercial they've been airing. A lot. Yeah, that's not in the game. At all. False advertising. :(
