The synopsis:
"Rising from Ashes" is a feature length documentary about two worlds colliding when cycling legend Jock Boyer moves to Rwanda, Africa to help a group of struggling genocide survivors pursue their dream of a national team. As they set out against impossible odds both Jock and the team find new purpose as they rise from the ashes of their past.
Admission is $5 and it will be shown at 6 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. (for those 21 and up) on May 14.
Money raised from ticket sales will go to Team Rwanda (cash or check please). Check out the trailer.
The other event – a Bell's to Bell's Bike Ride – will be held on Saturday, May 18. Registration will begin at 12:30 p.m. and at 1 p.m., we'll ride from the Café to our Comstock Brewery for a tour.
We'll then head back to the pub for drinks, a raffle and socializing.
Suggested donation is $10 and all proceeds will go to support the Kalamazoo River Valley Trail (KRVT) extension.
Be sure to bring your ID, a bike lock and a helmet.
Kalamazoo Bike Week aims to raise cycling awareness, promote the use of cycling as a means of transportation and explore the possibilities cycling has to offer in terms of enjoyment, health, fitness, and social and environmental benefits.

Vocalist Tyler Carter has announced his departure from Rise Records' Woe, Is Me. Carter issued the following statement to Alternative Press:
It's not an easy step to make, but I can't go on living a dream that I no longer have full interest in. I love the fans, and I hope the true ones will stick with Woe, Is Me and myself even after my departure. Don't be ignorant to the situation–it's nothing personal with the boys, I love them all. I just can't fake passion that I once had. I always preach to my fans, "Follow your dreams,"

Q: Our work spaces are open cubes, so there's little privacy. One of my co-workers will often whisper when speaking to other people. Do you think this is rude? I understand everyone needs to have private conversations, but there are many places nearby where these types of conversations can take place.
A: In deference to the whisperer, my first thought is: Is he or she really whispering, or just trying to talk quietly in order to avoid disturbing others? Your situation may simply be a matter of misperception. If your co-worker truly is whispering, then this is indeed a form of rudeness. By its very nature, whispering is exclusionary and should never be done by anyone in an office setting. If people have something private to discuss, they should either hold their tête-a-tête in a private office or conference room, or get together after work.

Etude House Sweet Recipe Baby Choux Base Review & Swatches
As you know Etude House launched three shades of Sweet Recipe Baby Choux with their new Spring 2013 Collection. I was excited about this because I adore their Peach Base (of a similiar idea) released a few years ago and expected these would be the same formula.
Turns out they aren't quite like the Peach base but they are however, just as brilliant.
Take a look!
Etude House Sweet Recipe Baby Choux Base are available in peach, mint, and berry shades. I picked up the peach and berry both of which address duller skin and brightening, whitening it where as mint is for redness. Technically peach addresses dullness where as berry acts to whiten skin but really both perform equally the same function in my opinion so you might not need both if you're looking the save some money.
Berry does indeed have a faint strawberry scent however, I didn't really smell anything with the peach and to my nose it was more of a play-doh scent than anything else.
These are one of the few products that deserved a back up purchase for me. I used to be all about purchasing back ups of LE products however, when you have beauty coming and going out of your life so often you learn that you really DO not need two of every single product and color around. Things start to get out of control very fast. So you can imagine these are pretty special to warrant a back up purchase from me.
Each comes in a glass jar with a screw top lid and spatula for application. If you own Etude House's older Peach Base this is nothing like the product in terms for formula. The old Peach Base was a dense formula versus the Baby Choux which has a loose, thinner, runny yet creamy texture. I know that was a mouthful but this is indeed runny yet it still has a certain creaminess to it. I thought it would be a mousse texture to be honest and probably would have thought it twice as awesome if it was but I'm ok with this creamier, looser texture as well.
Berry and Peach
I wouldn't bother with it if you're not into brightening or whitening bases as that's basically its function. Both the Berry and the Peach look very similiar on my face so as I mentioned above you don't need both. The texture absorbs easily into my skin, leaves it delicate hydrated, and has a soft, smooth finish on my skin. It isn't dewy nor is it powdery, it has soft, natural dry down that adheres to skin beautifully.
As I said, it does brighten and it does whiten. If you put enough on you can take your skin tone down an entire shade so in this case less is more. A tiny bit dotted on cheeks and blended out is enough to brighten your skin up and creates a beautiful base for makeup. It eases my dullness, perfects my skin, and gives me a flawless finish that's no less than perfection.
I absolutely love what it does for my skin and have gotten many compliments asking what I was wearing on both Musings of a Muse and in my "real life". It's the type of product that creates a beautiful base for makeup. It doesn't necessarily prolong the wear of foundations or BB Creams but it does perfect them and creates a flawless base for them. If you want you can use a very tiny bit as your makeup as well and go without foundation for a more natural look however, more is less as I said.
Needless to say I love what these do for my skin. It brightens, eases dullness, and even whitens when enough is applied. It makes an excellent base for BB Cream and wears well on its own as well. If your skin is duller and in need of a pick me up I do highly recommend these.
Absolutely a gorgeous base for creating a flawless, beautiful appearance!
Muse Approved.
I'd recommend E-bayer, Zinoparks, for a purchase (Not affiliated) as he ships fast and has fairly reasonable prices.
Tried the Baby Choux?
I'd love to hear your thoughts!
This product was purchased
by the Muse for review purposes.
Read my full disclosure statement here.
3/25/13 20:16 Ella:
I have the peach version of this and I adore it. I'm so fair that it pretty much matches my normal skin tone but I find it prevents BB creams and foundations that normal oxidise on my skin from going orangey.
3/25/13 21:16 Livi:
would you reccommned this as a skin perfector/wear alone for paler skintones? I'm white as a sheet, maybe like an nc15? [im not sure, i havent been color matched in a long time but i am very very pale] because i think it might work for me : )
3/25/13 21:25 Audrey C.:
Augh, I was trying to stay away from these but you've convinced me with this post! I want the berry one, right meow!
3/25/13 21:28 Alanna:
I wiiiiiiiiiiiiish these were not LE. they are hg status for me
Now those look lovely! It seems like only the asian market really appreciates brightening, whitening makeup products… These look lovely I want to purchase either the mint one or the one of those two above!!
Muse, quick question I recently bought the Dior Perfecting primer that you raved about and ( I love it by the way!! ),
I was just wondering, these baby choux primers have a more noticeable effect right? thanks for sharing!!
3/25/13 22:47 amy:
The peach actually matches my skintone *exactly*, LOL. I may have to pick one up… I'm supposed to be on a face-product no-buy for the rest of the year, but I will give this some serious thought. Maybe I can justify it as "skincare"…
3/25/13 23:35 Liz:
Sully from a girl band called "f(x)" is the face for this product, and it has the brand record for fastest sold out.
As all from this collection, I simply love the package, but is not for me.
3/27/13 16:21 Galia:
YESSS exactly ;D
3/26/13 0:10 Jessica:
Would you apply a product like this before of after sunscreen?
3/26/13 0:21 Tiffany Martin:
I haven't tried it but this is such a promising review, it's going on my wishlist. Peach is a lovely color, not pinky looking thankfully!
3/26/13 1:18 beth:
Ah, I love this! I have the Berry and love how it whitens but not too drastically! I usually wear it alone and my face feels so soft and healthy and hydrated with it too XD if only it weren't LE….. :/
3/26/13 2:02 앨리스:
I'm pretty afraid to use this because I don't want to damage my skin some more. but I definitely bought it just because it's useful for places that aren't necessarily my face – it's almost like costume make-up, since it does cover up some blemishes pretty well underneath BB cream too! But thank you for the review, and swatches!
3/26/13 3:26 bebe:
I just ordered the Peach shade from Amazon, and I can't wait to try it. Thanks for the review.
3/26/13 4:29 Jasmine:
Yesss! I'm so glad you reviewed this! Do you have any other seller reccomendations? unfortunately Zinoparks doesn't ship to Alaska.. (and they have the cheapest price on ebay too!) I've looked at Kollection K but I don't know if they're legit, and shipping is insane!
3/27/13 0:55 Jasmine:
They also don't ship to Alaska as well! wahhh. Alaska and Hawaii are always neglected with shipping rates! I might as well buy a ticket to South Korea and purchase it for myself at this rate! 😉
3/26/13 9:55 Cj:
So… It's like a skin perfecter? Not really a TM or foundation but it brightens and evens out a little?
3/26/13 10:18 Cj:
Cool 😀 ordering now! I think I'll get the peach one, unless you like the berry one better :O?
3/26/13 10:39 Alanna:
I want one of these other shades since I already have the mint, and I'm also really really fair but also really cool toned… I was leaning towards berry but do you think it would just make me really pink? I'm scared of looking yellow with the peach ahahahaha!
3/26/13 14:05 StellaDiva:
I have also found this and the Holika Holika Miracle Real Skin Finish at tgiwholesale.com and he ships for free to US.
So you use this in place of a primer? I have been using the L'Oreal Miracle which lets my Cho Yo Bang BB slide on like butter and not grip onto every little flake or pore on my face. Would this do that same or do I need both if I want to brighten up a bit? Thanks.
3/26/13 16:20 blueraccoon:
I think I want the mint, because I do have some redness in my cheeks. And maybe the berry. Have to wait until I move, though! (Ugggh so hard)
3/27/13 15:00 blueraccoon:
edit: I ordered berry and mint last night from F2PLUS1 as it won't arrive until after I move, so I can just give them my new address. I'm so bad at delayed gratification, and this looks so awesome!
4/12/13 0:13 blueraccoon:
Just coming back to note that mine arrived today and I love them to pieces. I like the mint better than the berry because my problem is more redness than dull skin, but they're both awesome and feel fantastic on my skin. I'm going to try the mint all over tomorrow and see if I need anything on top of it.
3/26/13 21:18 karayray:
i've heard that all the shades are better for people with fairer skin… would that be a problem for me since i automatically start tanning no matter what once it starts getting warmer…? :/
3/27/13 7:01 carrie:
This sounds amazing. I think the mint would work well for me too…I get both the pale-ness as well as the redness on my cheeks (thanks to my family being both Norwegian and German). I would LOVE to go to Korea and do a major haul…never been in spite of having been a Korean linguist and being close to fluent…sigh
3/27/13 16:38 Alanna:
I think you'll love the mint! I'm swedish and german, and I have the exact same skin. :p I look really moonlit and porcelain with the mint base on though!
3/29/13 11:42 carrie:
Thanks Alanna! Its great to get recs from people with similar skin tone concerns!
3/28/13 1:32 melissa konowitz:
I'm soooooo not into whitening. I love my medium slightly tan skin BUT I have a huge lemming for this and I might just buy it because I have a problem LOL. Is there a a 12 step program for addicted to buying products you don't need? Ha.
3/30/13 9:42 Yiyin:
Hi! I have acne prone skin and lots of red spots on my face! Do you think the mint one might help reduce redness?? I dont want to wear makeup cause its bad for the skin so i was thinking i will just use this as a base then some concealer. Will it still be bad for my skin?
4/2/13 12:11 coralcara:
hey muse, I don't know if this is too late now or not but do you think this would be suitable for medium skinned girls? I'm an nc30 right now and I'd love a new base but I'm terribly conscious of how Korean cosmetics caters to paler girls and I really don't like the ashy-ness that comes from wearing a base/bb cream paler than your skin tone.
4/3/13 6:53 coralcara:
Thank you so much for replying! I'm off to ebay to buy this now 😀
4/5/13 4:29 anis:
can someone tell me what is LE?
4/8/13 6:50 Aya:
What is the difference between those two? Which do you think is better? I have been wanting to buy this so much but i just can't seem to decide which one i should buy. I want the one that covers my pores completely. Thank you seriously for this lovely review i have been looking for someone to have them both
4/9/13 23:01 Isa!:
Hi Muse!
This is the first time I comment but I couldn't help it. I am really interested in this product. I'm a latina, with fair/fairly light skin. Do you think the peach or the berry would blend in better? Also, amazon has it for 17 dollars including shipping. Too much?
5/13/13 10:14 lil'eve:
I love baby choux! I gave my sis my regular foundations after I tried it. I took a huge chance because I received no samples previously and at $13 is a huge risk for me. What I do to deal with my pores is that I push it in the pores with my fingers, them spread it out. And just like u say, less is more exactly. I'm just wondering what choux means.
3/24/14 20:30 Stephanie:
I have to laugh because choux is French for cabbage and is also a term of endearment. I think I want to try the Magic cushion version of the green ♥
5/14/13 1:56 Eva:
I bought the product in peachy tone. It's just too pale, guess most Asian products have a whitening kind of effect
The first time I used it I didn't apply any foundation just a thin layer of loose powder.
I know Muse has dry skin and so do I. Maybe my skin is drier? It gave me crack looking lines on my face after a few hours I applied it. Ended up giving it to my pale skin obsessed Korean friend.
It does have a very nice scent though XD
5/23/13 2:29 Melanie:
I purchased both the berry and mint based on your recommendation. I had already bought the Holika Holika based on a sample I received with some BB cream. Since that stuff is the best thing to happen to my skin since BB cream, I cannot wait until it gets here! Thanks for the great review!
6/20/13 0:12 Joyce Ho:
Dear Muse,
I loveeeeeeee your blog.It's so informative especially on the Asian beauty section.
I just have a question. I have trouble putting on BB cream, it just rubs off and getting flaky on top of my moisturiser. I'm pretty sure my skin is not dry and I do exfoliate very often…
Help please??? :'(
6/20/13 22:18 Joyce Ho:
Thanks so much for your reply. I did tried the patting and palming, like all the Korean beauty products suggest…Not very good…I realised I would just have to really massage(in circular motion) all the moisturiser in, and then apply my sunscreen and BB cream. Btw, your review about Missha sun essence, totally awesome, I'm so glad I bought that product. Now it will always be my primer
7/5/13 1:00 Linda:
Hi Muse! I bought the mint/green Baby Choux and it doesn't smell like mint. It's more like the play doh smell you describe. The green shade totally obliterates redness, especially around the nose and eyes. LOVE this product. Thanks for the recommendation. I like wearing it alone on no-makeup days, and under foundation on work days. I really hope I can keep finding it on eBay and Amazon for awhile longer. Thanks for all your great reviews, Muse!
7/6/13 4:30 hasya:
hi! I really love your blog and spent most of the time browsing your articles about korean make-ups especially Etude House ones, it really helps me to decide which one is suitable for me.
my face is acne prone and kinda red in t-zones so I'm thinking to purchase the mint-green baby choux base, but I've recently bought etude cc cream silky which they said can be used as base/primer. do you think I still need the baby choux or should I just stick to my cc cream? thank you xx
8/11/13 12:57 ming:
Hi Muse,
So what's your top 3 make up base and primer so far?
Is there any make up base or primer that can prolong the wear of foundation or BB cream for oily combination skin? Doesn't have to be from your own experience (I know you have rather dry skin) could be a review from a friend or something?
8/11/13 13:55 ming:
Sorry, allow me to add in any recommended primers/make up base for oily sensitive skin as well. I saw one of your older posts on choosing the right primer for different skin types. The one recommended for sensitive skin – Lorac aquaPrime, it says No Longer Available on its website. Not sure if it's been discontinued or just simply out of stock.
I'm still pretty new to this make up base/primer area. So, really hope to get some tips anyone out there. Thanks~
5/21/14 9:31 Kopikido:
Hi Muse! I was looking around the internet for reviews about the EH Baby Choux base and I came upon your site. Actually, I've been looking up at your site for Korean product reviews (yes, I'm a bit of a silent follower).
Right, getting straight to the question. I just want to ask if Baby Choux base is also ok to use as primer for a mineral make-up like Bare Essentials.
Thanks and more power!

The Long-term Value of Preoperative Duplex Before Surgery for Varicose Veins

- How to Read a Study Record
Duplex imaging is costly and time-consuming, but is used increasingly for preoperative evaluation of varicose veins. Its value in terms of the long-term results of surgery is not clear. 293 patients (343 limbs) with primary varicose veins were randomized to operation with or without preoperative duplex imaging. Reoperation rates, clinical and duplex findings were compared at 2 months and 2 years after surgery. Routine preoperative duplex examination led to an improvement in results. However two years is a short time, and with a longer follow-up other mechanisms for recurrence may become more important, e.g. neovascularization (new vessel formation) or progression of disease, hence the value of a detailed preoperative diagnosis may be diminished. The aim of this phase of the investigation is to study the results after 8 years, in particular what mechanisms for recurrences were most important.

Aggressive DePaul Can't Find Equalizer in 1-0 Loss to Villanova
Oct. 26, 2013
CHICAGO - DePaul put on a performance Saturday that elicited a nod of approval from coach Craig Blazer, but somehow the equalizer eluded the Blue Demons.
Despite outshooting Villanova 18-8, DePaul came up short 1-0 in a BIG EAST Conference match at chilly and windy Wish Field.
"I thought we played a great game both statistically and emotionally," Blazer said. "I was very proud of the performance from this group.
"We rebounded from our last game (6-0 loss Wednesday at No. 10/9 Georgetown). Unfortunately, we did not keep the zero and they took their one chance."
In the 34th minute, Aaron Dennis dribbled into the middle of the box and fired a shot past Eric Sorby from 10 yards. It was Dennis' second goal of the season as Villanova improved to 8-7-1, 3-4-0 in the BIG EAST.
DePaul (4-10-2, 0-6-1) revved up the attack in the second half and outshot the Wildcats 10-3. Art Garza, Simon Megally and Thiago Ganancio had the best chances, and Jared Blincow fired a rocket from 25 yards that just missed.
Sorby and the Blue Demon back line kept Villanova in check, but the offense could not find the tying goal.
"Sometimes, that's how it goes," Blazer said. "Still, I was proud of the way the guys competed today."
DePaul will look to get back on the winning track with a Nov. 2 match at No. 22 Creighton.
NOTES: This was the Blue Demons' sixth loss in a row... the last time that happened was in 2000 when DePaul opened the season 0-15... Sorby played well in his first game back from an injury that sidelined him for the Georgetown game... the senior goalkeeper made four saves... Garza led the Blue Demons with six shots and three shots on goal... Megally had two shots with one on frame and Ganancio had the other shot on goal... Blincow and Joe Brinckwirth each took three shots... DePaul had a dominant 13-2 advantage in corner kicks.

Wasn't sure where to put this thread so here it is!
I've been doing SW/WW for 2 years and it's safe to say we're recycling the same recipes to the point where we're sick of it!
I mix it up between filling and healthy and propoints depending on what we fancy. I get 32pp a day.
So my question is....what is your favourite WW friendly meal? I'm looking for inspiration and I don't seem to be 'grabbed' by anything in the magazines.
Our current faves are turkey burgers and enchiladas. Both 2pp on F&H day for cheese!
Much appreciated guys!!

Wuthering Heights
by Emily Brontë
Wuthering Heights Theme of Love
It's tough to really call Wuthering Heights a romance, since the two lovers spend so much time making each other miserable. Still, we know Catherine and Heathcliff experience some sort of transcendent romantic and erotic connection. Catherine's love for Edgar Linton, however, is so tied to her desire to be "the greatest woman of the neighborhood" (9.59) that their love hardly seems to include any romance at all. Meanwhile, Catherine is so derisive of Heathcliff's social standing that early on in the story she questions his capacity to love at all, asking Nelly Dean, "I want to cheat my uncomfortable conscience, and be convinced that Heathcliff has no notion of these things – he has not, has he? He does not know what being in love is?" (9.97).
Still, Heathcliff and Catherine's fanatical, impassioned affection connects to the nostalgia of their childhood and reaches beyond the grave into the afterlife, so there's definitely a love connection going on. All of the other examples of love – or, more precisely, marriage – are diminished in comparison, except perhaps that of Cathy Heathcliff and Hareton Earnshaw, who seem to enjoy a rare experience of genuine affection and mutual respect.
Questions About Love
- Catherine confesses to Nelly that she loves Edgar but that she is also marrying him to elevate herself socially. Does she really love Edgar? Is Edgar a lovable character?
- Why does Isabella marry Heathcliff?
- How does the relationship of Cathy and Hareton Earnshaw compare to that of Catherine Earnshaw Linton and Heathcliff?
Chew on This
In the various relationships, Brontë explores the dimensions of romantic, platonic, and erotic love, but mystical love seems to transcend all of them.

I have no doubt many of you know of Dick Proenneke and his life and time in ALASKAI recently stumbled upon the whole documentary aired on local TV. It was awesome and his pack was sure interesting from a UL standpoint.Proennekeanyhow just sharing with BPLers!
Edited by THUNDERHORSE on 04/01/2010 23:27:34 MDT.
These are great. Thank you.

The movie/doco was great, watch it a few times a year.Oh to live as simple as that hey!
Nice film indeed! All his own camera work ... perhaps an inspiration to Les Stroud? The "book" pretty much parallels the film. The NPS printed a followup, a much more extensive set of his journals ... even more interesting than the original with a broader description of his life. I was about say that it was out of print and d**m hard to find (and only for big $$$) but now that I look again I see it's back! More readings from One Man's Wildernesshis pack was sure interesting from a UL standpoint.I used to own that model military surplus pack frame! Was great for carrying the kind of things Proenneke was bringing to his building site.UL perspective? I suppose it's all in how you look at it. IIRC, the building site was a few miles from the nearest place his bush pilot could land and he hauled the entire load in 2 or 3 trips. That's all the tools he used to build the cabin plus at least a couple weeks of food (he did get resupplied now and then). Compare that to what the typical modern "craftsman" would bring to that kind of job and you might conclude he was going pretty light!
Edited by jcolten on 04/02/2010 07:27:02 MDT.
Oh definitely inspiration for the modern Bear Stroud/ Les Grylls natural documentaries. Hmm maybe that book is worth looking into. In reference to his pack I was thinking of the small day pack he carries around snowshoeing. It looks like a canvas cape with pockets... I have carried a similar large pack designed for trail maintenance gear. They rock for carrying large tools! His larger pack is definitely lighter than your modern craftsman since he fashioned all his handles and that mallet.
Watching this tonight, makes time indoors go by quickly
I also own the book and complete DVD collection. Very entertaining I watch it over and over. He is one of my heros
Just got to visit his cabin this summer. This was a lifelong dream, and when I learned it was part of the National Park System, I knew it would happen one day. It is incredible how much of his original belongings are still there. The cabin was much smaller than I imagined. I'd love to go back and spend some time hiking around that area.

Intelligent Men: George Megalogenis
While the rest of the world reels from recession and revolts against austerity measures, Australians have lot to smile about. And, according to the prominent economic journalist and Melbourne native George Megalogenis, they ought to be congratulating themselves more for it. By NICK BRYANT.
For George Megalogenis, this is The Australian Moment. The title of his new bestselling book sounds ominously like the boast of a cocky antipodean, barracking from the stands of, say, The Oval just as Australia is on the verge of victory in the Ashes. Indeed, one of the aims of his book is not so much to make Australians feel good about themselves as to think differently about their country. Outside of the sporting realm, they are surprisingly poor at taking credit for their own achievements, preferring to look upon themselves as inhabitants of a 'Lucky Country' teeming with resources – 'a quarry with a view'. Megalogenis, a columnist with The Australian, has set out to persuade his compatriots that they have made their own luck.
It's a persuasive argument. At the start of the 1980s, Australia risked becoming the 'poor white trash of Asia', in the cruel estimation of the former Singapore Prime Minister, Lee Kuan Yew. Its currency was ridiculed as the 'Pacific Peso'. Now the talk worldwide is of a 'wonder down under': a country that has successfully avoided the past three global recessions, with a currency now enjoying parity with the greenback. Abraham Lincoln described America as 'the last best hope on Earth'. With the US in decline, Megalogenis asks whether that is now true of Australia. If nothing else, he believes it has become 'more versatile today than any other first-world nation'.
'We're not meant to be great,' he tells me, 'and the rest of the world has recognised our success before we have recognised it ourselves. We need to teach ourselves as a country to look at the rest of the world to realise how good things are here.' The start of the good times can be traced back to the 1980s, when the then Labor prime minister Bob Hawke, assisted by his hyper-ambitious young Treasurer, Paul Keating, began the deregulation process that opened up the Australian economy to the outside world. What turned out to be a 30-year reform era continued under the conservative government of John Howard, and gave Australia a formidably strong economic model by the time that the Asian financial crisis struck in 1997. 'We found a way to survive,' says Megalogenis, and it pre-dates the rise of China, a huge market for its resources and now the country's largest trading partner. 'We're not panicked any more. We don't seem to be intimidated any more. And our big idea wasn't something that we pinched. We thought it through ourselves.' 'Are his compatriots listening?' I ask. 'The penny is beginning to drop,' he says, especially for older Aussies who lived through the uncertainties of the 1970s.
Time was when Australia was explained by writers with English-sounding names: Manning Clark, its most celebrated historian, and Donald Horne, the journalist who at the start of the 1960s wrote The Lucky Country, a polemic that lambasted the country's stultifying conservatism and complacency. Megalogenis, who was born in 1964, the year that The Lucky Country was published, personifies many of the changes that have since overtaken his homeland. His Greek parents came to Australia after the war, and met at the Ithaca Club in Melbourne. His father worked as a signalman on the railways, and his signal box became an early playground. 'My parents did us right,' says Megalogenis, who is now in his late-forties. 'They put a roof over our heads, food on the table and put my sister and I through school and university.' Because of his Greek heritage, he was teased at school, and says he didn't know how to cope with the baiting and ridicule. 'I feel sorry for that little boy,' he says, 'but don't recognise him now.'
After getting his start in journalism as a trainee with the now defunct Melbourne Sun-News Pictorial, he worked for more than a decade in the Canberra press gallery, before returning to his native Melbourne, where he now writes columns for The Australian and also a popular blog, Meganomics. The once-bullied schoolboy has become one of the country's most influential political and economic commentators, and is now a regular fixture on the ABC Sunday political talk show, Insiders, which neatly sums up his journey. From the outer to the inner, classic Australian dream.
Just as the most talked about Australian novel of recent years has been The Slap by the Greek-Australian writer Christos Tsiolkas, Megalogenis has produced the most talked about history. A coincidence? 'Perhaps people are keen to hear from immigrants who fit in,' he says. 'I'm an outsider who joined the mainstream and talks up the mainstream. That is receptive to the Australia ear.'
So should be his thesis. Envious finance ministers in Europe and North America have long marvelled at Australia's seemingly recession-proof economy, just as many would-be immigrants view the country as one of the world's great lifestyle superpowers. The challenge for Megalogenis is to convince his compatriots that they, like him, are living in the Australian moment.

It's about time we have the 'talk'. The talk about Boot Loaders or as some call them Boot Managers. It is a very uncommon question and it has stumbled many of even the most savvy users. Truthfully, many people are unaware of what a Boot Loader is – let alone which one you use. In this article, I hope to educate you on what a Boot Loader is and provide a little guidance as to what Boot Loaders to use.
Before we can understand what a boot loader is, we need to look at how booting process works. The boot process is simply just a progression (think dominoes) of small programs running in the correct order. Each will do its job and then start the next one in the sequence. Typically there will be 4 or 5 of them with the last one having the job of kick-starting the operating system – be that Windows, Linux or whatever. The Boot Manager or Loader is a program that helps load an operating system into memory. This is the last stage in the booting process before the operating system initialization. Many people would not believe the amount of boot loaders that are available these days. We are only going to look at a few of them today.
Having said that, we love your comments and thoughts, please comment on what you use.
1. rEFInd (for Intel Macs)
rEFInd is a powerful and simple to use boot manager for Apple's Mac computers. You have a great deal of options available to you such as; graphical or text-based use, customize your background and icons, launch legacy systems and setting OS-specific options.
Personally, I do not own a Mac but some of my friends, had me setup their computers with a Linux dual boot and by far rEFInd was the easiest to work with.
GRUB2 is the modern and up to date version of the GNU Bootloader know as GRUB. GRUB and GRUB2 is a multiple operating system boot-loader, that is typically installed with Linux. For example when you install Ubuntu you use GRUB2 and if you installed RedHat Linux you would have classic GRUB.
Personally, I use GRUB2 with my multiple installations comprised of Linux distros and Windows 8.1. In itself GRUB2 is a very stable and solid boot-loader, with a number of features that allow you to repair it. If you make a mistake with GRUB the recovery and boot process is easy to restore.
Being an advocate of Grub, I would also like to mention that like any Linux application you can customize the look and feel of Grub. This can be accomplished using a small tool, I will create guide for you.
3. EasyBCD
EasyBCD is a Windows based boot-loader with a twist, the management of the boot-loader is all done within Windows. EasyBCD is by far the easiest tool to manage your multiple boot environment. It has many additional features, but by far the best feature is that it is free.
To answer the question of which boot-loader to use, one must consider the circumstances that you are faced with. For example if you dual boot just Windows Opertating Systems then use EasyBCD. For users dual booting Windows and Linux then use Grub and for my Mac users, use rEFInd. When discussing this topic with a friends of mine ( a Linux System Admin) he told me "Grub is the only way to go for PC," though I agree with Mike it is important to use what works best in circumstances.
P.S. – Thank you, David C, for your question and I apologize for the amount of time it took to write this article. I wanted to test each of these programs and do so different hardware configurations, thanks for your understanding.

Please see my comment that I posted here: http://dottech.org/159129/how-to-customize-the-grub-bootloader-guide/#comment-1025288
Based on those customization options, maybe I could get by with using Grub2 after all, but I would only do so because that's what you and your Linux Admin friend highly recommend. Since that decision would only be based on trusting you and your friend and not facts, could you please still address the other boot loader concerns that I mentioned and help me/us to understand?
Thank you for your continued help.
David C
Thank you for holding to your promise of "…writing an in depth article on bootloaders to help [us] make an informed choice." I was expecting to find this article under your "Linux Beginners Series", but I can see how this wouldn't necessarily apply to just Linux.
Although your article is helpful, I'm confused by a few statements that you made.
1. You're strongly implying that rEFInd is only for Mac computers, but not only does the screenshot show that it can handle other operating systems, the official website provides instructions for installing it on Mac, Linux, and Windows, as seen here: http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/installing.html
2. I can tell that you're passionate about Grub2, but other than knowing that Grub2 was designed for Linux, and that your Linux Admin friend says it's the only way to go, I'm not seeing the convincing factors yet that would cause me to use it. For those that want a graphical, clean/non-cluttered, and easy to control and modify boot menu, Grub2 just doesn't seem to provide those options, from what I've found so far. Fortunately, if this is in fact the best choice, I did find an article that explains how some of it can be modified, as seen here: http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/910
3. You rave about EasyBCD being the absolute easiest and most feature rich, but then you strongly imply that it should only be used if dual booting only different versions of Windows. However, not only do other web forums rave about using EasyBCD for Linux, the official website proclaims that you can boot anything with it, as seen here: http://neosmart.net/EasyBCD/
If choosing anything other than Grub2 would be a mistake, for quad booting Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Linux Mint, for example, then I would definitely like to understand why it's the best choice and why you're so passionate about it. Until then, it seems like EasyBCD might be the best choice, especially for newbies to Linux and boot loaders.
Could you please try to clear up the confusion explained above and help us from possibly making a bad choice, if that's even possible?
In addition, if I wanted to try and/or test different boot loaders, would it be possible and safe to install one over the other, similar to how Grub2 would overwrite the Windows boot loader? Of course, I would make sure that I created backup images of my PC before trying anything.
By the way, regarding the name Boot Loader versus Boot Manager, the introduction paragraph on the rEFInd official website defines a boot loader as being a selection menu interface during the boot up process/period, while a boot manager loads an operating system kernel and then hands off control to it. So, if that's true, I guess we're ultimately talking about Boot Loaders and not Boot Managers.
Thank you,
David C


text: Radiation therapy uses high-energy radiation to shrink tumors by killing cancer cells. It can be a highly effective method of treating cancers of the bladder, brain, head and neck, lung, breast, prostate, skin, rectum, stomach, testicles, cervix and uterus, among others. It may also be used to combat lymphoma and sarcoma. When is radiation therapy used? Radiation therapy can be used alone or as part of a cancer treatment plan that may also include surgery, chemotherapy, hormonal or biological therapies. It may be used in an effort to cure the cancer, or to treat unpleasant symptoms the cancer is causing; such as pain or bleeding. Depending on the type of radiation therapy technology used, patients may receive treatment in a single session or through a series of visits over a period that can last anywhere from one to eight weeks. What are the different radiation treatment technologies? There are two types of radiation used as treatments for cancer. One is delivered from outside of the body and the other is delivered internally at the site of the tumor. External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT) uses a linear accelerator to target the tumor and deliver the radiation. Internal Radiation Therapy (IRT), also known as Brachytherapy, delivers radiation from within the body. High Dose Rate (HDR) Brachytherapy works by temporarily implanting narrow cannulas to access the tumor site to deliver the radiation through tubes and Low Dose Rate (LDR) Brachytherapy works by implanting small radioactive seeds that remain in the body and become non-radioactive over time. 21st Century Oncology's state-of-the-art EBRT and Brachytherapy systems deliver the most advanced radiation therapy in the world. Not only do the various technologies offer pinpoint accuracy, they do so faster and with minimum discomfort and interruption to our patients' daily lives. What is the right option for me? At 21st Century Oncology, our radiation therapy treatment teams develop an individual treatment plan for each patient, taking into consideration the type of cancer, the stage and location of the cancer, the patient's general health and the patient's own preferences; among other factors. Visit a 21st Century Oncology location near you to learn what radiation therapy treatment plan is the best course of action for your recovery.

Thirteen ANZ players confirmed for US Open
BY iseekgolf.com | US PGA Tour | 2006 US Open | General | 06 Jun 2006
Five more Australasians have joined the field for the 2006 US Open Championship, the second Major of the year, after successfully progressing through Sectional Qualifying today.
Australians Richard Green, Scott Hend, Mathew Goggin and Nathan Green and New Zealand's Phil Tataurangi will join fellow Australasians already in the field including defending Champion Michael Campbell (NZL), Robert Allenby, Stuart Appleby, Mark Hensby, Nick O'Hern, Geoff Ogilvy, Rod Pampling and Adam Scott, although Robert Allenby's appearance is in doubt due to a debilitating back injury.
That takes the total Australasian contingent to 13 who will head to New York later this month, just two short of the highest representation of Australasians at a US Open. However, three more Australians, namely James Nitties, Nick Flanagan and Stuart Deane are still to vie for three of four places available in Atlanta Georgia tomorrow.
The Australasian record for the highest number of players at the US Open was created last year when a total of 15 Australasians (13 Australians and 2 New Zealanders) competed at Pinehurst No 2 when the title was won by New Zealander Michael Campbell.
A total of 73 qualifying spots in the US Open field of 156 players were available prior to the beginning of sectional qualifying at 14 sites today and Wednesday (US time). Three spots had previously been earned May 29 in Japan.
Richard Green was the sole Australian to qualify in Surrey, England. He grabbed one of the eight spots on offer to 47 players who teed off at Walton Heath and finished T5 with rounds of 71 & 67.
Hend and Tataurangi were two of 153 players vying for 18 spots at the Canoe Brook US Open sectional qualifier where Michelle Wie was also vying for a place in the Open and a place in golf history by becoming the first woman to qualify, but three straight bogeys on the final holes Monday afternoon (US time) sent her to a 3-over 75 and into the middle of the pack. Hend and Tataurangi shot rounds of 68 & 69 and 71 & 66 to finish T13.
Goggin and Nathan Green were successful at the Brookside Golf &Country Club and Lakes Golf & Country Club in Columbus, Ohio where 144 players battled for 21 spots. Goggin shot rounds of 66 & 71 to finish T11th and Green shot two rounds of 69 to finish T16th.
Those Australasians who missed out on successfully qualifying for the 2006 US Open today were Steve Allan, Aaron Baddeley, Matthew Ballard, Greg Chalmers, Steve Elkington, Peter Fowler, Marcus Fraser, Brad Heaven NZL, Brendan Jones, Stephen Leaney, Peter Lonard, David McKenzie, Peter O'Malley, Wade Ormsby, Craig Parry, Wayne Perske, Brett Rumford, John Senden and David Smail.
More than 750 players will have contested qualifying to determine the remaining 77 places in the field when Sectional Qualifying finishes tomorrow.
The 2006 US Open begins on June 15 at the Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, New York.

"Rueful, thoughtful, refreshingly direct, and full of juicy inside stories, Roger L. Simon's memoir is the best and most intimate account of Hollywood's politics yet published."
John Podhoretz
Editor, Commentary Magazine
"Years ago, I read Roger Simon's first mystery novel The
Big Fix and I was delighted. Roger was a left liberal
then and so was I. Now Roger's politics and mine
have changed, but his gifts as a writer have only
grown richer. Blacklisting Myself is a story of
Hollywood and America, funny and perceptive at the
same time."
Michael Barone
U.S. News & World Report
American Enterprise Institute
"When I read Roger L. Simon's witty and riveting Blacklisting Myself, I felt as if I were reading the memoir of my own lost brother. This indispensable and entertaining book is the first to tell the true story of Hollywood and politics from the perspective of someone who actually lived it. "

Rating: 4.42 out of 12 votes cast
I hope Chadwicks never change these pants because they are absolutely perfect! These are the only pants that I can order online knowing they will fit every time. Also, it's hard to find pockets in dress pants so that is a plus. Great quality, great price, great look, great comfort.
Fort Plain, NY
4 pair of pants
Great fit for dress pants, however the petites were not short enough
Suffern, NY
I love these pants fit like a glove and do not wrinkle
Chittenango, NY
Love it!
Great 3-season fabric. Fit is good and so glad I can order top and bottom in different sizes! Dark Jade is fun but not too wild for my work. Got the blazer too, and am very excited to start wearing it!
Syracuse, NY
Very satisfied
I am 4'11" and have a very difficult time finding pants that fit. These pants are just a bit loose in the waist. I wear with flat shoes so the length is a bit long, 29" would have been perfect. Comfortable pant, nice fabric. I would definitely order in different colors.
Great pant! Great fit!I get compliments on it every time I wear it!
Like Pant
Petite 4 was too large around hips and tummy so I returned for a size Petite 2. I am 5 feet with 36 1/2 hips.
New Orleans, LA
Great Slacks at a Great price
It's difficult to find size 4 slacks in the stores and I have always found Chadwicks' slacks to be true to size. The price was great and the fit is very flattering.
Johnson City, TN
Great pants!
I found these pants to be very flattering. It is hard to find tall/long pants in a size 6, love that Chadwick's does not exclude smaller sizes like some stores do. They are just as ordered, great color and plenty long enough to wear with a heel.
Tall mom
Not satisfactory
Fit was bizarre, length was not petite and pockets were a sad joke. Returned immediately.
Perfect Tall Pants!
These are perfect! It's so hard to find long pants that fit, but these are long enough that I can wear low heels with my slacks--a rare find! They fit well and are comfortable. I will get several other colors now that I've tried them.
Peachtree City, GA
Nice pants!
Have you seen the movie 'Nacho Libre'?You'll like these pants as much as Jack Black liked his pants in that movie!I got the black pants & I'm considering buying two more colors!Just wish you knew before you placed your order if they were on back order or not.

|Whitley Bay V Morpeth Town
Match Report By Julian Tyley
Whitley bounced back from the disappointment of their FA Cup defeat a week earlier with a resounding victory over a Morpeth Town side that arrived at Hillheads in confident mood thanks to a five match unbeaten run.
The opening stages gave little indication of what was to come with both sides feeling their way; the visitors having the strong wind at their backs looking marginally more threatening. With 13 minutes played, the game burst to life when Paul Chow broke through on the right of the penalty area and fired in a tremendous shot across the face of goal. The ball beat keeper Wells as it crashed off the underside of the bar and was scrambled out of play by the home defence. From the corner that followed, Morpeth captain Ian Nickalls hooked the ball away from danger with Lee Picton poised to capitalise less than six yards from goal.
Despite facing the wind, Whitley were playing a good and accurate passing game and when Picton crossed from the left, former Bay defender Lee Bell cleared under pressure from Chow. A few minutes later, Morpeth broke down the other end and a long range effort from Wilary flew over the bar. The breakthrough came after 27 minutes when Paul Robinson's close control took him past several defenders. Kerr appeared to be tripped as he went for the ball but it broke clear for Craig McFarlane who found himself unmarked with only the keeper to beat and he comfortably slotted the ball home from ten yards.
Two minutes later, a great cross from the left by Picton found Chris Moore perfectly positioned just beyond the back post and his well directed header beat the keeper to put Whitley 2-0 up and firmly in control.
Morpeth retaliated with Polish striker Halambiec bringing a fine save from Burke but a minute later there was nothing the Whitley keeper could do to keep out a tremendous 25 yard shot from Wilary, the ball flying into the top corner for a spectacular goal.
Whitley continued to look for goals and five minutes before the break, Kerr was presented with a good opportunity when Picton again opened up the Morpeth defence with a long ball which left the young Bay striker with only Wells to beat but the keeper did well to block the shot and then grab the ball at the second attempt. However, the third goal was not delayed for long as just two minutes later, Robinson and Kerr set up an opening which put Chow clear on goal and he comfortably beat the keeper for what was his 12th goal of the season. Robinson might have added a fourth just before the half time whistle but he inexplicably put the ball wide after Damon Robson's cross had left him with an open goal.
After the interval, Whitley remained well in control and now they had the advantage of the wind behind them. On 56 minutes, they effectively ended the game as a contest with their fourth goal. Picton's long throw was headed on by Ryan for Coulson to drive the ball through a crowded goalmouth. It looked as if the ball would cross the line but Craig McFarlane was taking no chances and raced in to knock it in the back of the net.
Whitley cruised through the remainder of the game, bringing on all three substitutes, including striker Andy Hay, who returned to the club in midweek. Five minutes from time, to the delight of team mates and fans, Lee Kerr ended what had been by his standards a lean spell when he added Whitley's fifth with a 20 yard shot that beat Wells as it flew into the net off the near post. In the final minute, Morpeth's Paul Wilary got his second goal but it was little consolation for his side who ended up well beaten. In stoppage time, a good ball from Hay saw Wells leap dramatically to his left to deny Kerr another goal.
There could have been few complaints from the excellent crowd of over 300, which included match sponsor, Alan Campbell MP. Seven goals provided good entertainment and it is a remarkable statistic that in their last four league games Whitley have scored 22 goals. They have also conceded nine but as long as they score more than they concede, the fans will be happy.
After the match there was also good news for Mark Minto, who had progressed from the youth team and was one of the most popular players in the club. Having found it difficult to command a regular first team place he moved to West Allotment in exchange for Andy Hay and on his debut scored a last minute equaliser against Sunderland Nissan, a goal which helps Whitley as both sides are in the tightly packed top end of the table. Whitley are now in 8th place but with games in hand on the leaders.
WHITLEY BAY: Burke, Taylor, Picton, McFarlane(Livermore 72mins), Coulson, Ryan, Moore(Hay 81mins), Robson, Kerr, Chow( Woodhouse 67mins)

Home Field: Ray Snyder Sr. Field at Municipal Stadium
Home Surface: Artificial turf
Class/Division: LL/NVL Brass
Head Coach: Gino Capuano (second season, 5-5)
2013 Schedules: Varsity, JV, Freshman
2012 Results: 5-5 overall, 5-4 NVL, 2-4 NVL Brass
Returning Starters: 6 – Jacob Thomas (Sr., RB/DB), Dave Hills (Sr., FB/LB), Bryan Ballenilla (Sr., OL/DL), Kasseme Smith (Sr., TE/LB), Gregory Thompson (Sr., OL/DL), Alex Guzman (Sr., OL/LB)
Other Players to Watch: Darrien Bell (So., QB/DB), Martin Pierce (Sr., RB/DB), Treyvonn Moffet (Sr., WR/DB), Darren Cook (Sr., OL/DL), Willie Sylvestry (Sr., OL/DL)
Chat with Coach
NVL Blog: You put together a solid season in your interim role last fall. How do you think having a whole offseason with your team will end up helping the Wildcats' potential for this fall?
Coach Capuano: "It's definitely better than last year because we already have our system in. There were some coaching changes so there are some hurdles to leap over. All you can do is keep pushing forward and have faith."
NVL Blog: Gregory Thompson and Bryan Ballenilla could be among the best tackle combinations in the league. How do you foresee them shaping your offense — particularly your running game?
Coach Capuano: "They will be a big part of any success we have this year. They can seal the edge and they can both pull. Jacob Thomas loves running behind them."
NVL Blog: There doesn't appear to be a city team in the preseason that stands head and shoulders above the rest. Does your team have what it takes to be the best in Waterbury?
Coach Capuano: "We did lose some very important players this year to transfers, graduation and ineligibility, so it will not be easy, but we feel that anything is possible with hard work. When city teams play each other, records don't matter as much as you might think. City bragging rights are at stake so I always expect every city team to bring their A-game against us."
The Wildcats open the season Sept. 12 against Kennedy at Municipal Stadium.

|NCOSS welcomes end of competitive tendering process
21 September 2001
The Council of Social Service of NSW (NCOSS) has welcomed the announcement by the Department of Ageing, Disability and Home Care of the cancellation of the competitive tendering process for disability advocacy and information services.
"NCOSS and disability advocacy groups had identified a number of problems with the process. These problems were also highlighted by the recent Legislative Council Inquiry into the process. We are therefore pleased that the Minister and Department have heard our concerns and halted the process," said Alan Kirkland, Director of NCOSS.
"Having met with the new Director General of the Department this week, we are hopeful that this decision signals the beginning of more effective, open relationships between the Department and non-government organisations.
"NCOSS will now be seeking a process of dialogue between the Department and non-government organisations to address:
"We hope that this process signals to other Government agencies the danger of poorly planned, wholesale reforms to funding programs without genuine participation of the people and services affected. We remain committed to improving services available to all people in NSW, but can only assist Government agencies when we are given genuine opportunities to participate," Kirkland concluded.
