new age-gothic-piano-choral from Victoria BC
Contact Detailssuzanne dwillies
Suzanne Dwillies is a young lass in Victoria , BC and she loves to compose pieces on her electric piano. She composes and improvises at will and likes to use many literary works as influences such as Lord of the Rings for instance. She wrote a piece especially for an international Tolkien Conference in England in 2005 . She sings in The Victoria Choral Society and studies composition and piano style privately. Her music has been compared to Michael Nyman, Enya, and Debussy.
Suzanne Dwillies is very inerested in getting a few musicians to work on an original project akin to Era or Lesium, music something that would be probably called "Cathedral-choral-power-music". Sort of hard (but very distinctive) genre to describe. I am looking for people who are full of joy and love and inspiration. I would love to get a few singers and instrumentalists together to put our minds together.
if that interest you let me know. I am sure we can think of ideas.

The underlying assumption is that rewarding employees for achievement (usually financially) will encourage them to work harder and achieve more in pursuit of those rewards. This view is not borne out by academic research but in practice bonus schemes are widely used. A carefully-designed bonus scheme when implemented on top of good management practices in a well-run business is a useful management tool – but it is not a substitute for these…Continue

I've been inspired to share my thoughts after meeting George a man in his 50's, who was sweeping leaves when I met him. As I was exiting a local garden centre with an empty trolley looking a little disgruntled, his soft voice said, "Did you not find what you were looking for?". "No", said I, explaining that Santa had moved in where the garden furniture had been (which is what I was looking for). Yes, I was a bit put…Continue

A technique to find the root cause of a problem is to ask Why? 5 times.
But before you rush off and prove this for yourself there are a couple of things to consider, so practise first.
Ask yourself Why 5 times and at about the third time it may will feel very personal (good) and can swiftly move to be down right rude, invasive and abusive (bad)
So practise and think about how you can phrase the why into the question you want answering or you want to get to the bottom of…Continue

Things are run a little differently this episode. The format of this episode flips things on its head as Kori take the lead and Megan is left with the response. You can tell pretty quickly that things don't seem to have the solid script that it normally does with Megan at the helm. The episode transitions from one topic to another, and just when you think that it is completely off topic, it brings it back in. Are we talking about why the moon doesn't exist, a rogue planet on a crash course with the earth, or are we talking about Harry Potter!?

It is a great excitement and a walk down memory lane to talk about the meaning behind the Ruckus Journal. The pause for me has been crafting the best way to say it on the About page and in the format of this blog. 2017 has marked 10 years for a few things and this blog is one of them. A decade of holding the tag " Sitting in His presence is a great disturbance."
I think writing( and all of us would agree) just happens to find its way back to personal and yet deeper then you would want at times stories. The constant run on sentence of connecting everything back to yourself. Its humorous at times and painful and tormenting to always bring it back to your life but usually it is because you are starting with you and ending with a vision for others. You mostly want to write because you want to make some kind of impact with what you say. And on, and on, this conversation could go.
Its 3:23am and I am in the craziest week ever only in the weird travel stuff happening stuff kind of way, so the better poem and this and the post called The Last Time have all been on this trip and this trip pretty much happened right next to Texas part 1 the end of July and in between was a wedding, and a wedding before that before that. So, don't be surprised if this gets rearranged into something else. I want to talk to you. I want to tell you this. You ready?
Louder now and the Ruckus. Sitting in His Presence is a great disturbance. The idea that Ruckus is disturbing the peace, and making us uncomfortable is a constant reality. We are never called to expect a safe ride. And everyone has to wrestle with it. The Gospel in all its greatness is the least safest message around. The characters of the bible make the loudest Ruckus from the one that started the noise in the first place.
Why are we so afraid of failing at something we didn't start? We are only here for a few reasons…
I will tell you more later but my disturbance is changing. I am holding back from being all that I can be. I am not joining the army but I am fighting the wars that are in front of me.
If I can be loud with meaning then I guess that would be some cymbals that aren't annoying and less lovely to hear.
Paul is saying( Apostle Paul) that love is measured by the source of the prophecy and wisdom, the sacrifice of the person, This is a much longer series of writings to reflect. Because love is the center of everything pointing us to Christ.
I am louder because I want to be. I am in the process of staying loud about the right things. I did get the Homer Simpson award in the fifth grade but that was more me wanting attention and being loud as the class clown.
More to come. Getting older..

The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Welcome to Part 2 of Everyday Elements, which hopefully can help you find the magic of the elements in the "mundane" of everyday life and the tasks that rule our existence. Last week I shared ideas and information on Cooking and Cleaning, and their inherent energies of Fire and Water, respectively. Now we move on to Healing and Learning, which are influenced and driven by Earth and Air.
If you didn't catch Part 1, get caught up here.
Especially when we live in busy, bright, crowded cities and have packed schedules, it can get hard to maintain a strong connection to our spirituality, our magical practices, and to nature and the elements. But practicing awareness and gratitude and finding simple ways to incorporate the elements and their powers into things we do every day can ground us, raise our vibrations and enhance our spiritual/magical practices.
Healing – Earth
Everything in nature is self-regenerating and that includes our bodies. This ability to heal and regenerate extends beyond the physical, and allows us to heal emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Our bodies are the sacred, physical vehicles for our souls and every part of our being, and it is well known now that our body tells us not only the state of our physical health, but manifests the condition of our mental and emotional health. Yet it is circular, as taking proper care of our body and staying connected to Earth can also increase our mental, emotional and even spiritual well-being.
Nature contains everything we need to take care of and heal ourselves on every level; herbs, crystals, vitamins, minerals, flowers, spices, foods, and even sunlight and the beauty of natural environments all have nourishing and healing properties.
When I was a child growing up in south Florida, we had a handful of large aloe vera plants growing in our back yard. I spent a lot of time playing outside and, like any active child, I often cut and scraped myself. I didn't run inside, crying and expecting one of my parents to put Neosporin and a Band-Aid on me. I simply went to the back porch, broke off the end of a thick, fleshy leaf, squeezed the cool gel onto my scratch or road burn and went back to playing!
Most of us probably don't spend as much time outside as we did when we were children, and this is a great shame. Nature is a healer, plain and simple. Especially when I am at my most anxious, despondent, depressed and restless, I escape outside for a meditative walk and I breathe deeply, tune into the breeze, the singing birds and the abundance of beautiful trees in my area. Without fail, I always feel much better during and after such walks. Sometimes I don't want to go back inside, even if it's raining. That's why I have a rain shell!
I often get my best writing ideas while walking, as the elements surround me and speak directly to me. They help me ground, relax, and not only sort out thoughts and ideas I already have, but make me more receptive to new and better ideas and inspiration.
You are probably familiar with the practice of "earthing", which consists of simply walking or standing directly on earth in your bare feet, or laying down on the ground or on a boulder. If you've heard of it but haven't really done it, do it! If you do it, do it more! It is one of the simplest things we can do to ground and connect but it is also one of the most powerful and healing methods as it puts us in direct contact with our Earth Mother. Think of it as a new baby being laid upon her mother's breast to hear and feel her heartbeat, to rise and fall and synchronize with her calming breath and to relax upon her strong, warm support. This is what we do when we practice earthing.
Sometimes we don't realize how separate from the Earth we often live in our day-to-day lives. Most of us, on average, probably spend much more time in our houses, then driving in cars, then in the building where we work than we do being truly in and with Nature. After a while of being deprived of a proper connection to Earth, we become more tired, more irritable, less focused and certainly less grounded.
We also often take for granted all those things that nourish and heal us all the time – herbs, flowers, vitamins, crystals, all the supplements we take, and of course even the food we eat. All the best and most natural food is healing and this ties in great with the Cooking/Fire element. When you're sick with a cold and you brew a cup of ginger tea, you're being healed not only by Earth but by Fire and of course Water! But all the ingredients come from the Earth herself. Even when you pop an aspirin for a headache you are enjoying the blessings of the Willow tree (Salix), the source of the active metabolite in aspirin – salicylic acid.
Try to rely on as many natural healing methods and ingredients as you can. For millennia our ancestors managed just great, probably better in a lot of instances, without extra-strength Tylenol, Neosporin, Ny-Quil, and all manner of convenient, plastic-packaged "medicines", most of which simply mask and numb symptoms and pain rather than offer any real healing. My cold medicine is vampire-hunter-level garlic in every meal, lots of ginger tea and rose hip tea (rose hips have lots of vitamin C) and constant self-pampering bed rest. I credit the garlic alone as the reason why I get over colds now at least twice as fast as I used to when all I took was the typical pharmacy stuff.
Consider putting together an "Earth-aid kit" consisting of essential oils (lavender and peppermint are great starters that help heal anxiety and headaches, two very common ailments), Bach's flower remedies, aloe gel, ginger tea bags or ginger chews, capsules of skullcap and/or willow bark, your favorite grounding and healing crystals, natural bath salts, and even a CD of nature sounds if you aren't able to get outside for a walk or earthing. I can't live without my Lifescapes "Garden Rain" CD!
Learning – Air
When I was in elementary and middle school, I loved the zany Wayside School books by Louis Sachar. I think it was in the second book, "Wayside School is Falling Down", where we learn that the teacher Mrs. Jewls tries to teach her class three new things every day, her reasoning being that if they learn three things each day, they will eventually learn everything there is to know.
This is obviously an absurdly over-optimistic approach, especially to creating a curriculum for grade school students, but the goal of trying to learn something new every day is worth implementing! Especially into adulthood and even after all formal education, there is an infinite amount to still be learned and discovered. Even if we don't go through our daily life with the intention to learn specific new things, we are almost always guaranteed to learn something, even if it is as simple and temporary as our usual route to work being suddenly altered by construction detours.
Air is the element traditionally associated with the mind; with thought, intellect, knowledge, speech and communication. We are constantly surrounded by air just as we are constantly surrounded by knowledge and potential knowledge. Just as we rely on air to breathe lest we rapidly suffocate and die, we need knowledge and learning or we figuratively suffocate and stagnate, and even potentially still literally die.
We rely on certain knowledge to survive as much as we rely on air. If we don't have enough oxygen at birth, or indeed if at any point in life we experience a sustained deprivation of oxygen, our brains are damaged as is our capacity to learn, reason, speak and even control and coordinate our entire bodies.
Sometimes we learn something, or think we learn something, that is not accurate or complete, or that may eventually become inaccurate, dated and need to be replaced with new knowledge. This is not unlike the constant cycle of the breath – inhaling oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide. If we always take every single thing we learn or are taught by others at face value and never question it, confirm it or replace/supplement it with new, expanded and/or updated knowledge, we may as well hold our breath or keep breathing only carbon dioxide, remaining stale and unrefreshed. The learning becomes useless, just as breathing would.
A version of a popular quote that may or may not be entirely correctly attributed to Einstein, though poignant nonetheless, states that "We cannot solve our problems with the same level of thinking that created them". So as air and our breath are essential to our existence, so too is our constant pursuit of both knowledge and truth and the constant desire to develop, improve and expand what we know.
Mindful breathing and various consciousness-altering breathing exercises, such as pranayama, are now well known both within and without Pagan and "new age" circles and practices. Among many other benefits and effects, awareness and control of the breath have been proven to have calming effects and to prepare the mind for concentration and meditation. This is probably the best illustration of and support for the traditional association of the Air element with the mind; they are directly connected.
So it not only greatly benefits us to try to consciously learn at least one new, helpful and interesting thing every day, but also to try to develop a regular mindful breathing practice. This isn't hard to do if you already have a meditation practice that probably already incorporates pranayama or any mindful breathing exercise.
Particularly before you do any reading, studying, attend a class or important work meeting or before you set off on your daily adventure to learn one new thing (or Mrs. Jewls' recommended three), try spending just a few minutes to focus on, slow and control your breath and to cultivate a heightened feeling of both awareness and gratitude for the ubiquitous invisible element that directly affects and refreshes your mind and keeps you alive.
So remember to look for the Elements in all you do every day because chances are, no matter what, they are there in some form or another and they all make everything possible. Recite to yourself this popular, simple yet profound chant now and then to remind yourself of the magic that composes your entire being and the world around you...

Welcome to Part 2 of Everyday Elements, which hopefully can help you find the magic of the elements in the "mundane" of everyday life and the tasks that rule our existence. Last week I shared ideas and information on Cooking and Cleaning, and their inherent energies of Fire and Water, respectively. Now we move on to Healing and Learning, which are influenced and driven by Earth and Air.
A long overdue update. Spring is upon us (as the rain beats down on my window here!), and I feel like leaving this Winter is almost akin to clambering from a very deep, dark hole...
For the past two months, I've been pretty much confined to home. I've been very ill, both mentally and physically, and while I have a fabulous doctor looking after me, it's been ridiculously hard. Not least because I'm a bad patient. If I'm not able to do something with my days, I get frustrated, which leads down the path to... well, bad thoughts. Spiralling down is an apt metaphor, but not fun to live.
It's back to school time, and that has me thinking about those of us who no longer spend much time in a classroom. I'd like to encourage us to think deeply about different purposes and practices of learning so that we can shape our own back-to-school intentions for ourselves. One of the biggest ways to make a difference is to practice what's not perfect.
It used to be simple. Wiccans and NeoPagans in general were polytheists in contrast to Christians and other mostly monotheistic religions. NeoPagan polytheists usually spent little time on theology and considerably more creating and practicing rituals. Most of us became Pagans by virtue of personal attraction enriched by our involvement with a teacher or a coven or similar group.
Today many NeoPagans first learn about our traditions from books or the internet. The net in particular has expanded easily available information about our religion but at a cost. That cost is to be severed from NeoPagan history and practice except as available through pixels or the printed word. Instead of starting with learning and practice with others and then studying written sources, many NeoPagans now go from the study of texts to practice. They hope to interpret experiences they anticipate having through the texts they have read rather than judging whether the text illuminates or contradicts the experiences they have had....

If binge-watching is somehow already a word, we feel like the time to come up with a phrase for obsessively rewatching TV shows and movies has been long overdue.
However, until someone rises to the occasion and coins a witty new term, we can enjoy the other side of this retrospect — discovering hidden easter eggs! Something Imgur user Eclipezz has already been fruitfully working on.
A few days ago, Eclipezz shared a post that unravels a previously unseen (or unmentioned) joke from season 9, episode 12 of "How I Met Your Mother."
See that couple casually hanging out in the back? They're about to embark on a lifelong journey together — but you've probably never noticed that.
The episode starts by Robin announcing that she wants her wedding to be held in her home country, Canada.
This offers her friends — Ted, Lily, Marshall, and even her future husband Barney — a priceless opportunity to once again mock Robin for her Canadian roots.
But while jokes like "Canada? Are you registered at Tim Hortons" and "Canada? Oh, does the organist play wearing mittens?" were flying around, something else was happening in the background ...
As the scene progresses, the couple in the back is seen getting engaged.
Getting pregnant.
Oh, look, their kid is all grown up and out of college. Atta boy!
The last frame shows the woman sitting by herself, mourning her late husband.
You have to admit that's a really suave way to poke fun at how long it took Ted, Marshall, and Lily to get all of the Canada jokes out of their system.
Kind of makes you want to jump into a rewatching binge and dig for hidden gold, doesn't it?

Garth Ennis Knows What Evil Lurks in THE SHADOW
Last week, Dynamite announced that famed writer Garth Ennis — known for his bloody epics and , and a long run on Marvel's — would be writing a new ongoing series starring iconic pulp hero The Shadow. Ennis is joined on the series by artist Aaron Campbell, a Dynamite veteran whose worked on series such as and . With issue #1 — featuring covers by John Cassaday, Howard Chaykin, Jae Lee and Alex Ross — out in April, Ennis answered a few questions from Newsarama via email about his fondness for the character, how The Shadow compares to some of his previous work, and why the 1930s pulp era suits him as a writer. Newsarama: Garth, you're clearly a fan of The Shadow, and the character has managed to endure for decades. From your perspective, what are the qualities of the character that have enabled him to stick around for 80 years?
Garth Ennis: Great look, with the hat, the coat, the scarf, the twin pistols. Nice sense of mystery, and of danger — you're never sure exactly how much he knows, or how far he'll go in pursuit of his aims. And stories set in the pulp era, with its enduring appeal.
Nrama: On the other side of that, how would you respond to a reader who may be unfamiliar with The Shadow, and see the character as a relic from a bygone era?
Ennis: Aren't they all? The vast majority of the most famous comic book characters — at least in terms of those owned by corporations — were created 50-70 years ago.
Nrama: As a fan, what material was your first introduction to the character?
Ennis: That would be the Howard Chaykin '80s update, which I think still holds up rather well. It's not set in the '30s, which is the period I think the character works best in, but Howard carries it off through sheer ability.
Nrama: The Shadow is a licensed character — how does the creative freedom on this series compare to a creator-owned project like The Boys? Is there a good amount of leeway there?
Ennis: It's been pretty good. Two or three minor points in the four issues I've written to date, and those more to do with character than any sense of extreme content.
Nrama: It looks like the series will be set firmly in the pulp era that originally birthed the character. What is it about this environment that you find personally appealing?
Ennis: On the surface it seems very romantic, with the veneer of New York high society covering the seedier end of things on the waterfront and so on, and the mystique of the Fabulous Orient in places like Shanghai and Hong Kong. Air travel was beginning to open up the world, at least for the adventurous types who could afford it.
Yet at the same time, people in the know were gearing up for the massive confrontation that was coming: between Communism and Fascism, between the Democracies and the Dictatorships. Most continued in blissful ignorance, but some — especially in government — were starting to make their plans for the coming catastrophe.
Nrama: Do you see any similarities between this series and any of your past work?
Ennis: There's an obvious parallel with the Punisher, but Frank Castle is a much more straightforward character, a one-thing-at-a-time kind of guy. The Shadow sees things on a grander scale — he's an agent of Fate, putting the pieces in play, moving them around the board. Got a nice sense of the theatrical too, often engineering complex and tortuous ends for his foes.
Really, rather than my own work, what I see in the Shadow — and the Punisher and Nick Fury too, come to that — is something harkening back to the British comics characters I grew up on. He is, when all's said and done, a gunfighter.
Nrama: Aaron Campbell, who has worked on plenty of projects for Dynamite in the past, is artist of the series . At this early stage, what can you say about what he's bringing to the series, visually?
Ennis: Tremendous sense of mood and place. Very strong on research, which is vital for a period piece. Good with characters. And — my #1 concern — an excellent storyteller.
Nrama: The Shadow has been announced as an ongoing series — how long term are you thinking in terms of plotting ahead on the book
Ennis: I'm doing the first six; after that we'll see how it goes.Got a comment? There's lots of conversation on Newsarama's FACEBOOK and TWITTER!

Thomas C. writes:
I was enjoying Anthony Garett's article on evolution until I reached this point.
"In fact, far from being opposed to Christian theology, I hold that the theory of evolution is deeply conditioned by it. It would be an enormous coincidence if the scientific method arose within the only culture to have been evangelized for many centuries by chance. Science is an enterprise that seeks to make the world more comprehensible to man, and Christianity is the only faith to maintain that the world is comprehensible to man, since in Christ the creator has made himself known and through him all is knowable. Christian faith that the world is comprehensible to man, and that the enterprise of trying to comprehend it is therefore worthwhile, finally bore the fruit that is science. It could not have happened elsewhere. Evolution is a fully scientific theory and is part of the Christian tradition of seeking order in creation, even though it makes no explicit reference to God."
Many cultures participated in the sciences long before Christianity took hold on Western civilization! The Maya tracked the heavens, and predicted Lunar Eclipses! Africa was a beacon of scientific knowledge before Europeans ever put a foot on the African continent! And the list goes on! Please, Mr. Garett, Don't get too ahead of yourself! Christianity doesn't give you the hold on the scientific method!
Under the first Christian Roman Emperors, Christians grew wary (to say the least) of anything "pagan," including "pagan" schools of learning, wisdom and books:
Paganism was reclassified as a demonic system. If Satan was the source of error and evil, false teaching and wrongdoing were not merely mistaken: they were diabolic. The division between a Christian "community of goodness" and an "outer world of evil" could easily become too pronounced. The idea of Satan magnified the difference between "true" and "false" Christians and between Christian sinners and saints.
Like Satan, the Last Judgment was a force that Christians exaggerated and then claimed to be able to defeat. This teaching was reinforced by an equally powerful ally, the Christian idea of sin. Sin was not just the sin of an action, or even an intention, but also the sin of a thought, even a passing interest in an appealing man or woman. This combination of rarefied sin and eternal punishment was supported, as we shall see, by books of vision and revelation that were probably more widely read than modern contempt for "pseudepigraphic" forgeries allows: acquaintance with the Apocalypse of "Peter" would make anyone think twice before leaving the Church (we happen to know that "Peter's vision of hell" was still read as a holy text in the churches in Palestine on Good Friday during the fifth century). If fears for Eternity brought converts to the faith, one suspects that they did even more to keep existing converts in it.
—Robin Lane Fox, Pagans and Christians (Alfred A. Knopf, Inc., New York, 1987), p.326-327, 330-331, 412
Institutions of higher learning had been largely destroyed. The [Christian] emperors' attacks had centered on the chief of them, Athens and Alexandria, in the late fourth century and were turned against them again toward the end of the fifth and in 529. ["529 A.D." was the year that the School of Athens was closed by the decree of the Christian Roman Emperor Justinian, the same Justinian who also outlawed sodomy, because, "It is well known that buggery is a principal cause of earthquakes, and so must be prohibited."—E.T.B.]. As to the initiators of the persecution, the [Christian] emperors themselves, a steady decline in their level of cultivation has been noticed. Thus books and philosophy were bound to fade from sight.
After Constantine there existed an empire-wide instrument of education: the church. What bishops, even emperors, made plain, and what could be heard in broader terms from every pulpit, was an agreed upon teaching. Every witness, every listener should know the great danger to his soul in Plato's books, in Aristotle's, in any of the philosophical corpus handed down from the past. The same danger threatened anyone using his mind according to their manner, with analytical intent, ranging widely for the materials of understanding, and independent of divine imparted teachings.
Another factor that arose specifically out of the ongoing conversion of the empire was the doctrine of demonic causation. The belief in the operation of maleficent forces on a large scale had to await Christianity; and it was of course Christianity that was to form the medieval and Byzantine world.
Satanic agents were to be seen as the cause not only of wars and rebellions, persecution and heresy, storms at sea and earthquakes on land, but of a host of minor or major personal afflictions. So, in consequence, Christians were forever crossing themselves, whatever new action they set about, and painted crosses on their foreheads too, responding to their leaders' urging them to do so. It would protect them against all evil.
—Ramsay MacMullen, Christianity and Paganism in the Fourth to Eighth Centuries
The libraries [of Alexandria] were surely in decline under Christians who, following their triumph over pagans, Jews, and Neoplatonists, found the Hellenic riches of the libraries discomfiting. Their anger reached a fever pitch in the fourth century A.D.: Theophilus, patriarch of Alexandria, desired the site of the temple of Serapis [a huge temple/library and part of the libraries of Alexandria] for a church; he set loose a mob of Christians, who destroyed the pagan temple, and perhaps, the books of its library as well.
The [rest of the] libraries of Alexandria probably shared a modest fate, moldering slowly through the centuries as people grew indifferent and even hostile to their contents. Ancient Greek, never a linguistic monolith in any case, became incomprehensible to Alexandrians of the Christian era with their mixture of Coptic, Aramaic, Hebrew, Latin, and Koine, or demotic Greek. Ignored by the generations to whom they were indecipherable, the scrolls would have been damaged, stolen, lost, and yes, burned. They were replaced by writings of the Fathers and Doctors of the church and by the thinning literature of the declining Roman world.
—Matthew Battles, Library: An Unquiet History (New York: W. W. Norton, 2003), p.24,32
Art, philosophy, literature, the very psychology of Western man, all suffered by the victory of the bishops.
—John Holland Smith, The Death of Classical Paganism
To understand the resurgence of interest in science in Europe, one must read the recent book, Aristotle's Children (look up a synopsis and reviewer's comments on the web) that points out that Christian Platonism was a dead end for science and only Islamic translations of Aristotle jump started modern science, not Christianity.
And though science flourished under Christianity after the rediscovery of Aristotle, lots of things flourished in Europe at that time. As Jared Diamond pointed out in his prize-winning bestseller, Guns, Germs, and Steel, after the last ice age, Europe was filled with more plants that could be cultivated and eaten by human beings, and Europe had the best soil too, ground up rocks adding minerals after the glaciers had retreated about ten thousand years ago. Europe also had rich forests filled with wood for building and heat, and many thick lush rivers of clean water. So Europe, during the Middle Ages had some natural advantages other parts of the world didn't have, plus the high pagan Roman culture of her past with its lessons in art, architecture and science. So Europe continued to increase in food production and population, and that led to more minds with more free time, more inventions, and curiosity, especially about her pagan past.
Copernicus, Galileo and Leonardo were influenced by classical Hellenistic idea, ideals and glories, as were many inventors, scientists and artists of the Renaissance. In fact Copernicus' revolutionary book on heliocentric astronomy contained references to pagan gods and sun worship (as Christian geocentrists like Dr. Bouw point out in disgust. *smile*) Neither were later scientists necessarily orthodox Christians. For instance Isaac Newton and Joseph Priestly, two geniuses, were heretical in their Christian beliefs, both being pro-Arians (anti-Athanasius), influenced by the growing religious questions and controversies of their day.
Lastly, no matter what the origins of science, it survives quite well on its own, practiced by people of all religions or lack thereof, and allows a wide variety of believers of whatever spiritual or non-spiritual kinds to agree on more things on earth than on heaven, quite an accomplishment in and of itself.
Or as someone else pointed out, "science" is like a cuckoos egg laid in the nest of Christianity, but was not the same species of the other birds in the nest, and even began nudging the eggs of the native birds out of the nest to make room only for itself. *smile*

Today on The Lovely Nerds I am bringing you a review of the Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer. Want to know more? Keep reading -->
This is a very popular product from the Too Faced permanent line. The Chocolate Soleil bronzer has gotten many raves across the internet and comes recommended in stores.
First off, I have to mention that this bronzer smells AMAZING. It is chocolate scented, so those chocolate lovers out there (like myself) would likely really enjoy this.
Chocolate Soleil is a matte bronzer. It is a light, warm-toned shade, so not really fit for those cool toned ladies such as myself. The pigmentation is wonderful, it blends easily and looks nice on. You can apply this lightly with a stippling brush, or heavier with a powder/contour/bronzer brush. It seems to be finely milled and it does kick up a fair share of powder when you dip your brush into it and swirl it around. Its not too bad, but it is noticeable.
The large mirror in the compact is a huge plus. The packaging is nice and travel friendly as well.
Unfortunately for me, it pulls very red on my cool toned skin, so I will be returning this product today.
I do love this bronzer, and I so wish it worked for my skin tone. If it was cooler toned, it would be a 100% winner for me. I recommend this product, but I also suggest trying it in the store first to make sure it does not pull red on you as it did for me.
« OMG that smell. I love it.
« The compact packaging.
« Its matte.
« Very skin tone specific product.
« The price.
If this product worked for my skin tone, it would probably be holy grail status. Good pigmentation, wonderful smell, blends easily. I'm very sad that this is too red for me. For darker, more warmed tone gals.. I highly recommend this!
Overall: 4/5
Price: $$
Repurchase? Sadly, no.

Former Chicago Schools CEO to Plead Guilty to Bribery Charges, Feds Say
Byrd-Bennett will plead guilty, feds say
Former Chicago schools CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett is expected to plead guilty to federal criminal charges that allege she used her power as head of the nation's third-largest school district to steer $23 million in no-bid contracts to her former employers.
The 23-count indictment from the U.S. Department of Justice alleges that Byrd-Bennett awarded the deals to The SUPES Academy and Synesi Associates, companies that trained superintendents, principals, and other school administrators, in exchange for hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes, kickbacks, and other compensation.
Byrd-Bennett, along with SUPES Academy co-owners Gary Solomon and Thomas Vranas, each face multiple counts of mail and wire fraud.
"Graft and corruption in our city's public school system tears at the fabric of a vital resource for the children of Chicago," Zachary T. Fardon, the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, said in a statement.
Byrd-Bennett will plead guilty to the charges in the indictment, said her lawyer, Michael Scudder.
The federal probe of the alleged scheme found no evidence that money changed hands while Byrd-Bennett served as CEO. But the indictment does allege that the two companies agreed to conceal Byrd-Bennett's kickback money by funneling it into accounts set up in the names of two of her relatives, and re-hire her as a consultant, with a "signing bonus," after she left the 397,000-student Chicago school district.
The indictment also alleges that SUPES Academy and Synesi Associates provided Byrd-Bennett with perks such as meals, seats at basketball and baseball games, and an airline ticket.
According to the indictment, the Chicago Board of Education awarded SUPES Academy one contract worth nearly $2.1 million within two weeks of Byrd-Bennett's appointment as CEO in late 2012.
The district extended the contract in 2013, awarding the company an additional $225,000. A few months later, SUPES Academy landed a $20.5 million, no-bid contract.
News of the indictment rocked Chicago schools' leadership.
"The circumstances surrounding the indictment of the former CEO are unfortunate and mark a sad day for the leadership of our district," Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis said in a statement.
"I am saddened and disappointed to learn about the criminal activity that led to today's indictment of Barbara Byrd-Bennett," Mayor Rahm Emanuel said in a statement. "Our students, parents, teachers and principals deserve better."
An arraignment date in U.S. District Court has not yet been set for the trio. The indictment marks a fast fall for SUPES Academy and Byrd-Bennett, who previously served as CEO of Cleveland's school district and the chief academic officer in Detroit.
Resignation Amid Probe
Byrd-Bennett used her experience as a school administrator as a consultant for SUPES and Synesi, before she left to serve as Chicago's chief education adviser in May 2012. Emanuel appointed her as chief executive officer in the fall of that year.
According to its website, the SUPES Academy provided district leadership training programs, securing contracts with 14 school districts, one charter school network, two departments of education, as well as AASA, the School Superintendents Association.
Soon after Chicago district officials announced last April that a federal grand jury had subpoenaed documents related to the contract, Byrd-Bennett took a paid leave of absence. She resigned weeks later under a cloud of controversy.
She faces 15 counts of mail fraud and five counts of wire fraud.
The indictment charges Solomon with 15 counts of mail fraud, five counts of wire fraud, two counts of bribery of a government official, and one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States.
Vranas, his business partner, faces 15 counts of mail fraud, four counts of wire fraud, two counts of bribery of a government official, and one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States.

text: This popular team's warthogs return, fresh from their sloppy kitchen counting experience (Warthogs in the Kitchen, 1998), to make a fun mess with buckets of paint. It is raining and the warthogs have decided to paint the wall. First the primaries are introduced: "All colors can be made, I've heard it said, / As long as we have some yellow, blue, and red." (The color words sport the actual color.) They paint great swipes of color on the wall and then get down to their specialty, making a real fiasco, but with enough control to the mayhem to produce orange, green, and purple. "What a terrible mess! But see, it's clear: / Mixing blue and yellow makes green appear"—in great pools on the floor, which are transferred to the wall. All said and done, a rainbow materializes on the wall. A little color quiz concludes the story. It's not Margaret Wise Brown's Color Kittens—there is little of the magic of color here, it's all process, and the verse is far from transporting—but it is a solid, slapstick introduction to color, plus utterly inspirational when it comes to making a rainy day bright.

News Release - IAU0807: IAU names fifth dwarf planet Haumea
Sep 17, 2008, Paris
The International Astronomical Union (the IAU) today announced that the object previously known as 2003 EL61 is to be classified as the fifth dwarf planet in the Solar System and named Haumea.
The decision was made after discussions by members of the International Astronomical Union's Committee on Small Body Nomenclature (CSBN) and the IAU Working Group for Planetary System Nomenclature (WGPSN). This now means that the family of dwarf planets in the Solar System is up to five. They are now Ceres, Pluto, Haumea, Eris and Makemake.
The discovery of Haumea was announced in mid-2005, and the object was initially given the provisional designation of 2003 EL61. It is a bizarre object with a shape resembling a plump cigar. Its diameter is approximately the same as that of the dwarf planet Pluto; however, its odd shape means that it is much thinner. It is also known to be spinning very fast, making one rotation in about four hours. Some have suggested that this rapid rotation could be the reason Haumea came to look as it does - the dwarf planet has been drawn out and elongated by its swift spin.
Haumea sits among the trans-Neptunian objects, a vast ring of distant cold and rocky bodies in the outer Solar System. At this moment it is roughly 50 times the Sun-Earth distance from the Sun, but at its closest the elliptical orbit of Haumea brings it 35 times the Sun-Earth distance from our star.
Haumea is the name of the goddess of childbirth and fertility in Hawaiian mythology. The name is particularly apt as the goddess Haumea also represents the element of stone and observations of Haumea hint that, unusually, the dwarf planet is almost entirely composed of rock with a crust of pure ice.
Hawaiian mythology says that the goddess Haumea's children sprang from different parts of her body. The dwarf planet Haumea has a similar history, as it is joined in its orbit by two satellites that are thought to have been created by impacts with it in the past. During these impacts, parts of Haumea's icy surface were blasted off. The debris from these impacts is then thought to have gone onto form the two moons.
After their discovery, in 2005, the moons were also given provisional designations, but have now too been given names by the CSBN and the WGPSN. The first and largest moon is to be called Hi'iaka, after the Hawaiian goddess who is said to have been born from the mouth of Haumea and the matron goddess of the island of Hawai'i. The second moon of Haumea is named Namaka, a water spirit who is said to have been born from Haumea's body.
The IAU is the international astronomical organisation that brings together almost 10,000 distinguished astronomers from all nations of the world. Its mission is to promote and safeguard the science of astronomy in all its aspects through international cooperation. The IAU also serves as the internationally recognised authority for assigning designations to celestial bodies and the surface features on them. Founded in 1919, the IAU is the world's largest professional body for astronomers.

VPN connection kills RRAS
OK here goes, I have installed EBS and all seems to be working, but the VPN. At this point I can establish a VPN connection, after a few tries and obtain an IP from the DHCP server. This is where is get hard, once I establish the connection I loose all internet connectivity to the Domain, still have Internet from the security server, and no routing on the VPN client. I then need to restart the RRAS on the security server to restore Internet access to the Domain. Config WGFW>XXX.XXX.2.XX>SECSERVER>XXX.XXX.0.XXX>DOMAIN
what you think?Wednesday, July 21, 2010 8:18 PM
All replies
Can you try a static pool instead of DHCP for VPN clients?
When you make VPN connection , can you check what address the proxy server name resolves to for Domain clients?
If your Browser proxy setting uses Security server's name , verify what name is resolves to from the proxy clients. Does it resolve to first IP of VPN pool?
Bala Natarajan [MSFT]| Sr. Support Escalation Engineer | CSS SecurityFriday, July 23, 2010 4:58 AMAnswerer
I think you misunderstand. My VPN connection connects, obtains the DHCP address, and ALLL connectivity include my network domain will not route. In order for my internal machines to route to the INTERNET I need to restart RRAS. This does 2 things kills the VPN connection and resets to allow INTERNET traffic to the outside world for my Domain users. So in short when I establish a VPN connection all routing breaks.
On the VPN client I have no connectivity either.
Tom DFriday, July 23, 2010 2:37 PM
Hi Tom,
Let's break it down a little bit. If i understand correctly:
1. You're able to connect VPN from an external client successfully
2. External client can't access internal resources and has no VPN routes
3. Internal machines (Internal to TMG/EBS) loose connectivity to internet at this time
4. Restarting RRAS restores internet connectivity for internal clients
Please let me know in case we missed anything.
Thank You,
Mohit Kumar [MSFT]| Sr. Support Escalation Engineer| CSS SecurityTuesday, July 27, 2010 9:37 PM
yes, this is exactly the caseWednesday, July 28, 2010 2:20 PM
Hi Tom,
Thanks for confirming my understanding of the issue. If internal clients are Web Proxy clients, please turn off "Automatically detect settings" and "Use automatic configuration script" in IE and enable "Use a proxy server for your LAN" to point the internal clients manually or via a GPO to the IP address or the name of the Security Server. In case the internal clients have Firewall Client/Forefront TMG Client installed, please turn off "Enable Web browser automatic configuration" in the Firewall Client configuration on the client machine.
After the above has been done, connect the VPN client again and check if the internal clients can access internet. Also, test if your VPN client can access internal resources.
Thank You,

I have no web proxy on the inside, no Firewalls on the test machines turned on. With all this not on I still kill internal LAN when connecting from the EBS TMG, and I still am unable to route internal or external when a connection is established VPN.Monday, August 2, 2010 12:01 PM
If the internal clients are not Web Proxy or Firewall clients, i'm assuming that they're pointing to the Security Server for Default Gateway. If that's the case, please do the following:
- Ensure that Default Gateway is configured only on the external interface of the Security Server
- Connect VPN from the external client
- Collect a network capture from an internal client while trying to access internet and check if it gets any response from the Security Server (check for both TCP and HTTP responses)
- Check routing table on Security Server at this time and ensure that the default route is listed correctly
If the above doesn't reveal the root cause of this issue, we may need to get some data (Network Captures, BPA etc).

Hi Tom,
Thanks for the information. Your configuration looks good from what i see in your response. Were you able to check the routing table and the network captures?
Mohit Kumar [MSFT]| Sr. Support Escalation Engineer| CSS SecurityMonday, August 9, 2010 7:09 PM
I was not able to check things out yet, that is my plan for this week. I assume we will need to gather some data, this has really been a pain since the install of EBS.Tuesday, August 10, 2010 11:29 AM
Hi Tom,
Any update on this?
Mohit Kumar [MSFT]| Sr. Support Escalation Engineer| CSS SecurityWednesday, August 25, 2010 12:16 AM
thanks for the follow up, I am going to run the capture tomorow morning. I will post my resultsThursday, August 26, 2010 12:37 AM
OK, here is what I have done
I connected to the VPN using PPTP from outside our network. Once the connection was made I lost all connection to the WWW from the inside, Security server still had WWW access. The systems and routes all look OK, from here. I do have a capture before, after and during, of both inside and security server, including route tables of each.
I could send theseThursday, August 26, 2010 12:01 PM
Hi Tom,
Please zip the captures and the routing table output and send them to me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Please include the relevant IP addresses (Internal machine used for testing, VPN client, Security Server etc) in your email.
Mohit Kumar [MSFT]| Sr. Support Escalation Engineer| CSS SecurityTuesday, August 31, 2010 8:35 PM
Hi Tom,
I haven't received the data yet. Any further updates?
Mohit Kumar [MSFT]| Sr. Support Escalation Engineer| CSS SecurityTuesday, September 14, 2010 10:04 PM
I sent the data in a 10 MB zip format on 8/31 can your email accept that size?Wednesday, September 15, 2010 4:44 PM
Per my discussion with Tom, he'll be opening a support case to pursue this further.
