This one seems to have greater longevity than the other Escada summer scents I have. It's been 7 hours and I can still smell it. Very nice. There certainly is a time and place for these light, uncomplicated EDTs.
It's one of those floral fruity sweet perfumes. I didn't find anything that would make it more special compared to other sweet floral-fruity fragrances.
I think it's all mango and some magnolia but no musk, wood notes or red berries.
A little offensive at the beginning.
Maybe suitable for teenagers.
I love how this fragrance smells on paper, it's quite nice, nothing too special but a sweet fruity summer smell that is very easy to wear. Well, on my skin it's nothing like that, the citrus starts acting up and it's not pretty. On me this scent is very strong and more apropriate for a summer night.
it smells like a bad -trying to be "cool water" .in my opinion. its also so boring. i guess you hate me now lol
Delicious. One of my coworkers wears this one, and I love working by her. Mango is the most prominent note, while there is an orange and floral essence around it. It is sweet but not cloying in any way. Island Kiss is a soft, pleasant, and simple fragrance which seems to have the ability create a blithe ambience.
Honestly, it's probably the mango, but I smell pineapple. And then just peach and flowers. It's a cute scent, but very familiar. Of course if you had to classify it, you'd say it's more of a summer scent, but I like the way it behaves on my skin against the chilly air.
Really nice, happy summer fragrance, very light and sweet, but not headache sweet. Loved it, but I get tired of it, although it's pretty cool.
This is perfect for summer! Clean and sweet. Fruity and fresh. I spray this on during the day and still get whiffs of this the next day!!!! I love it! It is a fun and youthful scent that is appealing to the nose.
This is not bitter or sour AT ALL, like some are saying!
Just bought this on my holiday in Lanzarote. it smells peachy and tropical with a bit of musk. Its very sweet light fragrance but doesn't last very well on the skin but still love it i just apply it more often.
It smells like mango fruit juice on me
something went wrong with the reaction of the notes with each other
My third escada , i'm looking something beach, warm sunny day, glad im buying this stuff.
Mango, alittle orange.. and musk, well i will wear tommorow and give it a try.
Want to know the longevity and silage.
This is the best out of 3, i can smell mango very intense, it's beautiful... close your eyes and take a sniff, then you're instantly brought to a wonderful summer island, i love love love this!!!
This one was so bitter
More like grapefruit then Orange -
and it just stayed that way never changed .
Anyone liking grapefruit notes or heavy citrus may enjoy this one :)
Island Kiss is a very sharp sour/sweet fruity scent,the first notes I get from this are lots of mango and some orange in the background. When it has dried down there is some muskiness to it and the fragrance becomes less sharp. The scent stays very close to the skin and only lasts for about 1-2 hours on me. Personally I don't particularly like this scent as it gives me a headache sometimes. I definitely prefer the other two perfumes which Escada re-released along with this one (Sexy Graffiti and Rockin' Rio).
young, fruity, sour and reminded me first of papaya. liked the scent and bought it on a whim because it was on sale. It doesn't last long on me at all. disappointed.
At first I smell a burst of mango and a bit of orange, then the mango becomes a bit softer and I smell some flowers. At first sniff it's really good, but it doesn't take very long to become too syrupy for my taste. It smells kind of cheap to me... Staying power didn't impress me either. I remember when they released Pacific Paradise, I liked it so much, I wish they'd bring it back!
When I bought this it was the last bottle of Island Kiss in the store. This is definitely a summer fragrance, as what I smell whenever I wear this one is mango and citrus. It's not very strong and the lasting power isn't the best, but I still love it and I'm really glad I got it before they were all sold out.
I bought this accidetally while looking for the original I had years and years ago.
It's not exactly the same and not as good.
I found the original at a fleemarket so I compared them side by side.
The older one is sweeter, the new one is sharper.
When they discontinued the one I loved I was very bereft. Took me forever to find replacements.
I love Island Kiss! I bought it this spring for my 21th birthday as a present for myself and have absolutely adored it since.
I'm not a person to care about seasons in fragrances. I wear what I want to wear be it sunny or snowy, and so I wore Island Kiss on this grey, cold, rainy day. It really lifts my mood! How can someone be blue when there is something like this to sniff?
Very sweet and fruity, just the way I mostly like my fragrances. I even get the tiniest hint of aquatics, though it might be just the overall freshness. On the other hand, it doesn't change much if at all. What you smell at first is pretty much what you get.
Many of Escadas summer scents smell pretty much the same. When this is gone, I don't think I'll keep mourning for long. I just buy a bottle of some other Escada!
Starts out great, sour and crisp and refreshing, dries down to sweet, sweeter and sweeter still.. until it is gone, in 2 hours. This is super, wish it would last longer :(
I got a sample in the mail to see if it was true... was Island Kiss coming back and would it smell the same?? If you are the fan of the original have no fear! The reproduction is spot on. I personally could not find any difference.
A tangy, strong, fruity, very beachy summery fragrance. Uplifting, spunky, flirty is how I would describe it. Very fruity sweet more than I would ever call it sugary sweet. It's basically a tropical fruit salad of mango, passion fruit, pineapple and an injection of lemon/lime to give it some extra pop.
This too has a sour sweetness to it, maybe its the passion flower, that mixed with tropical is alright but i cant get over the sourness to it
Maybe if they put a orchid instead?
overall its pretty good
Escada Island Kiss is the most magnificent mango scent you will ever smell! This is a fruit bomb of passion flower and sweet mango with white peach and blonde woods in the dry down. Makes me want to sail the Caribbean! Perfect for summer!
Bright and joyful summer fragrance by Escada!
Most of all I feel the orange, mango, peach and passion flower notes in it.
It smells similar to Sunset Heat and Rockin' Rio 2011 by Escada, too, by the peach note.
I like this fragrance! This orange feeling joy can make the summer more fun by bringing the good mood:) Perfect for a vacation on the seaside!
This one is nice. Most prominent on me is orange, mango and magnolia. The scent is clean. But where´s is the staying power? It stayed on me just 5 minutes and than everything is gone. Pity cuz it sounded so good. :-(
I'm not certain as to how this fragrance compares with the original Island Kiss, but this new release is definitely a pleasant one. I'm enjoying this fragrance far better than the re-released version of Sexy Graffiti.
I'm guilty of mocking Escada and their fruitiness sometimes, although I must admit that they compose sweet and fruity scents well. Island Kiss is what I'd call pretty and flirtatious. The perfect Summer scent for a girl that just wants to have fun.
Island Kiss opens with sweet, juicy mango and orange. I like that it smells sugary without becoming too syrupy and thick. It actually has a slightly clean feel to it, like the scent of a good quality shampoo. This fragrance thankfully doesn't turn sour on the skin.
I can see how some could classify this fragrance as an aquatic, as it does evoke a sense of beachy-ness, however I picture a sweet, fruity beverage, like an exotic cocktail when I smell Island Kiss. It's a fruity floral to my nose, from beginning to end.
The composition is a little linear, although it doesn't bother me in the slightest. The less complex scents are during Summer, the nicer they wear during the heat of the day, at least in my opinion. I would quite happily wear Island Kiss, and this is coming from someone that usually detests fruity scents. If that doesn't shout out my praise, then I don't know what will.
The sillage is fairly average, however I found the longevity much more promising. It lasted a lot longer than I thought it would. Unfortunately, like every other Escada release, Island Kiss is a limited edition, so I would snap it up while you still can.
it is the best of the 3. from 2011... 2 me it smells littlebit like soap. but it is very sweet, fruity and i think i smell a little rose in it... but yes, it is very good fragrance.
This perfume is definitely not sophisticated in the least, but it's a fun fragrance for Summer if you love fruity scents. Sometimes I feel like fruity perfumes like this are overpriced, simply because they don't last very long and I could probably get a similar-smelling body spray from the mall for under $15.
Anyways, I do like this perfume, but I only bought the purse spray because I have a hard time commiting to scents that smell like any other fruity perfume on the market. This one reminds me of the original Ed Hardy for her with it's mango-y floral composition. Escada Island Kiss is a little fresher and lighter smelling, but still not very memorable. I like that the passion flower kindof smooths out the fruityness and keeps it from being entirely candy-like.
This perfume is fun but not interesting or unique. I like it, but would not repurchase.
Somewhere I mention that the original Island Kiss is much better than this, but yesterday in a mall I was sprinkled with plenty of this fragrance and radically changed my mind. It's an incredible perfume, citrus-fruity, slightly floral. Crisp and refreshing fruit cocktail. I love passion fruit, which is the main ingredient in this fragrance. This fragrance is suitable for summer, tropical vacation, filled with many emotions and good mood.
Even my man, who prefers flower scents appreciate it very high.
i absolutely love this it smells soo fruity and so fresh and its amazing. I do not find it to be too sweet though, it is just right. I savor my bottle because id use it all in a week if i let myself
It's very fruity and tropical. To me it smells like melon and a bit of papaya. Although is very fresh and summery, to me is very sweet...I would prefer it a little more watery and less sugary.
I must also say that it has a good lasting power and it's my favourite one of the trio.
My favorite scent of the trio. Its so smooth and luscious. Perfect for cuddling with your partner on the beach:) My boyfriend was with me when I tried this perfume. He fell in love with this scent. I have it buy it. Perfect for summer! And bottle is super cute:)
Out of the limited edition 2011 scents, this one is my second favorite. I like the scent so much, it's very fresh and not overly sweet. However, I JUST sprayed this on myself an hour ago and I can't even smell it on my wrist. That alone will be the reason why I won't be buying this perfume :(
If only it lasted....
EDIT 4/30/12: This is now my favorite scent but the lasting power still sucks! I'm not sure if I want to buy a full bottle of this yet.
Aquatic, juicy, sweet. I smell a lot of mango and pineapple which I really enjoy in its juiciest phase but this lasts about 30 minutes before drying down to a slightly fruity musk.
Island Kiss could be Cool Water's little sister because of the aquatic, fruity-tropical vibes. Island Kiss is much sweeter and more lovable I think. If only it lasted longer... Cute new edition though :)
Tested this one today. First it reminds me of Marine Groove (which I have) but after a while I noticed the difference. This is not so strongly a passion fruit scent, it has other fruit, too.
It is very sweet in a way I don't like. Not for me.
I love the scent but the sillage as mentioned before and the longevity is just bad, i bought this for my wife and after a while i couldn't detect it at all, the quality sucks but the price isn't that high either, so i dunno, maybe it's fair, on the other hand, you need to spray a lot of it to make it work, so.
Smells a LOT like Sexy Graffiti, but this one has a little sour touch to it wich makes me love it a little more.
9/10 for the scent.
5/10 for longevity.
4/10 for sillage, it's just bad.
all the Escada perfumes are morphing into one.
Very nice and long lasting scent wich triggers my imagination.
When i tested it on my wrist i felt i was on my last holiday again!
this is not quite the same as the original one, like previous user mentioned it is indeed a softer and turned down version of the original "Island Kiss". It shares some similar notes with the rest of reeditions but is indeed more aquatic. Light tropical-aquatic scent it is. This i my second favorite from reedition series. But sillage and lasting power could be better.
This is a softer lighter version of Pacific Paradise by Escada. It's great since PP is discontinued but if you have one you really don't need the other. This also smells very similar to the yellow bottle Rock in Rio, I wish their scents were a little more diverse, this keeps me from purchasing all of them.
If I had to pick one. This one would be it.
I love the Escadas and am happy they brought this one back. It starts off rather aquatic and fresh and then develops a tropical fruity base. Great choice for the summer...reminds me of hot caribbean nights.
This fragrance was originally released around 2001. It is an AMAZING fragrance. Very fruity! So glad it is back!

CHICAGO The owner of a Denver steel supply company has been sentenced to 30 months in prison for his role in a scheme to defraud the U.S. Export-Import Bank of some $11.2 million.
Luis E. Moy, 47, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Denver to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and one count of wire fraud in connection with the scheme, the Ex-Im Banks Office of Inspector General said May 20.
Moy, the owner of a metal building design and export business in Denver, admitted that he acted as the exporter in 11 fraudulent loans insured or guaranteed by the bank between 2004 and 2009. He and others conspired to make false statements, supplied false invoices and falsified other records, according to the Inspector General, diverting some $1.2 million for his personal use.
As a result of the fraud, all of the loans defaulted and the Ex-Im Bank was forced to make $7.5 million in claim payments to the lending bank.
In addition to his two-and-a-half-year prison term, Moy was sentenced to five years of supervised release and was ordered pay $11.2 million in forfeiture.
The name of Moys company was not disclosed by the Ex-Im Bank Office of Inspector General.

Apple's Mac turns 30: How Steve Jobs' baby took its first steps
Re: Floppy Eject
"If you allow the user to eject without the data being committed then they lose their work."
But that is no reason to lose the button. Apple put a motorised eject system into the drive, far cooler than a mechanical button. There was no reason at all not to include an electronic eject button in that process that first flushed the drive buffer and then ejected the disk. It's really not rocket science and far more useful than a hidden OS command.
Re: Floppy Eject
"It would have been right there in the Special menu!"
The Special menu, for special people? Sounds about right.
Of course I spent a light of time trying to right click on the floppy icon, which just opened it because there was actually only one mouse button - another eternal source of frustration for users of proper PCs.
I've just always found Macs completely non-intuitive. People says they are so much easier to use than Windows but I couldn't agree less. For example, the window management buttons. On Windows the buttons represent the action. A big square to make it bigger. A little line to minimise. An X to close. All logical. On Macs I get some odd coloured traffic lights. How is a new user supposed to have any idea what red, green or yellow will do? No labels, no help if you hover over. Nothing. Just seemingly random coloured buttons. MS Windows and X-Windows got it right, why do Apple have to be different?
Re: Floppy Eject
I knew how to operate a floppy drive, had done for years. They came with eject buttons, always did on PCs. Apple chose not to include one. I still have no idea why.
I remember once getting the disk out using a paper clip in the hole. The OS instantly displayed some kind of horrible error and wouldn't operate again until it was powered off and back on.
How could this possibly be a good thing?
Floppy Eject
I used an early Apple Mac to help create the school newspaper and it was quite an eye opener - I'd already been using PCs at home for a while.
I remember saving my file to a floppy disk and then trying to eject it to go home. There was no eject button. I hunted around the operating system and could find no obvious way of getting it out. I was there ages, refusing to accept my failure and ask a teacher. In the end I had to ask for help and I was told I needed "command+E" or something. Not only did Apple not have something as simple as an eject button, it also had an extra key on the keyboard that nothing else had.
From that moment onwards I hated Macs and still do. I'll never have one in my house.
Of course, the beauty of all this is that when they break and my friends ask for help I can comfortably say "sorry, I've never used a Mac and can't help you". I recommend them to all my friends and family now :)

Re: Cooking etc.
"Is it cheaper to keep building new production teams to come up with new ideas than it is to continue to make episodes of older ideas which can then be sold internationally?"
If the shows can be sold internationally, then the rights to them would have considerable value if sold.
Building new productions teams to come up with new ideas isn't cheap, that's why we pay the license fee, right?
Re: Cooking etc.
No, not Sky...I said another terrestrial broadcaster. It would be important to keep the shows free to air.
Cooking etc.
I thought of a simple fix for the BBC license fee argument a little while ago.
Clearly it's difficult to please everybody, there will always be some who argue that they don't want "their" licence fee money going towards a show they don't like. e.g. I think we spend far too much money on Masterchef.
If a show is popular, as indeed the cooking and baking shows appear to be, they should have a limited run on the BBC. Perhaps 2 or, at most, 3 series. After that, the BBC should be contractually obliged to sell it off to the highest bidder.
This indirectly happened with Jonathan Ross when he left the Beeb for unrelated reasons. His chat show is now on ITV, with the same bad jokes. License payers are no longer paying Ross's inflated wages.
Shows like Masterchef, Apprentice, Top Gear, Bake off and Eastenders would all be gone to another terrestrial broadcaster. It happens with sport, why not drama and reality?
The funds received from selling off the successful shows could go towards paying for new television to replace it.
Most of these shows are now "made by xyz for BBC" so there is no reason quality should drop as a result of it changing channel. We'd just start saving money.

British Gas robo home remote gets itself into hot water
Re: Not needed@ Ben Rose
Thanks, interesting information, but it ignores the costs of running the electric water pump. Surely significant? A cupful of lost gas versus loads of, more expensive per kWh, electricity. Your boiler efficiency theory is sound but ignores this part - the condenser fan also needs to run.
Interesting that this article touches on hot water. I never really turn mine off, any heat lost from my hot water tank will only go towards warming the house anyway.
Re: Not needed
Similar calculations to yours, just not negating the same stuff.
Rate of heat loss is proportional to temperature, so if the radiators are hotter they will heat the room quicker. Once up to temperature, the boiler and water pump can both shut down. Running the pump for longer uses more electricity. Running the boiler for longer uses more gas. With cooler water temp the boiler may cut out sooner but will come back on quicker as the boiler return temperature will be much lower. The hotter radiators will stay warmer longer too, keeping the house warmer for longer and removing the need to turn the boiler back on.
My boiler instructions say to run at MAX temperature when it's cold outside. This is apparently more efficient. In that case, why is it not more efficient at all times?
Re: Not needed
"when it's warmer outside it also lowers the radiator water temp as that's more efficient than running hot, shutting off and then cycling again"
Really? Is it? Can you prove that with some basic Physics?
All my maths suggests the precise opposite. I've made a lot of eco efforts in my house and the hot water temp is the only one I've never had a conclusive answer on.
What a waste of time and money
I'm not entirely surprised people tinker with the app all the time, they've wasted their hard earned on it. On top of that, it's a thermostat...people drive me mad with those. In the words of Victoria Wood:
"I thought I was going menopausal and then I realised the cat had been playing with the thermostat".
It's not rocket science. Decide what temperature you would like your home to be, set it and leave it be. Some homes have hot and cold spots, but thermostatic radiator valves should cater for this.
The new generation have homeowners grew up in a home with parents who never had central heating when they grew up. CH was a mod-con and preferable to lighting a fire when they got up each day. This trend stays with us in the form of "it's so cold, i turned my heating back on this weekend" each Autumn. My heating never goes off...that's what the thermostat does. When it's warm, like it Summer, the heating doesn't come on. When it's cold, as if by magic, it fires up the boiler.
Modern boilers are hot and modern radiators efficient. You can heat up a cold house in around 20 minutes in the depths on winter. Remote control really isn't needed.

Netflix dares UK freetards: Watch new Breaking Bad NOW or torrent it?
Could go either way
I'm not sure this is going to change a whole lot. My limited viewpoint sees a lot of downloaders watching their content offline on phones or tablets these days, which Netflix doesn't do much to help.
Sure if you watch your downloads on TV, your broadband is fast enough, your ISP limits allow it and you have a TV that is able to play Netflix then this might be a winner. For everybody else, the download will be a higher bitrate and have 5.1 surround.

Re: Not concerned..
Mutli-user has been available since Windows 95 but not until ME did they actually have separate NT style profiles. e.g. c:\documents and settings\username\etc
This type of profile allowed different settings to be stored easily for each user and, in the case of Chrome, would mean two entirely separate password repositories in different folders.
Not concerned..
Mutiple user profiles have been in "domestic" flavours on Windows since Windows ME. During first time set-up of a new PC they have positively encouraged people to have multi-user logins, with their own wallpaper etc. It works well and your desktop etc. are stored in an area that is off-limits to other users.

- The black bear looks different from the brown bear with its longer and less furry ears, smaller shoulder humps, and rounder profile.
- The black bear is an inquisitive animal, sometimes searching out human domains in search of food.
Fun Facts
- The black bear is not a social creature. Males and females are only found together during mating season.
- At birth, a black bear cub weighs less than a pound (0.5 kg).
- Even though this animal appears ferocious, it is mainly vegetarian.

Recently someone was trying to offer me unwanted legal advice. For her credentials, she said she isn't a lawyer but she took a few law classes. Is that possible? Don't you need to attend law school to "take a few classes" in law?
You can study law anywhere and anyhow. Courses of study toward a law agree must be accredited by a proper authority in order to have the courses count towards a law degree. So, yes, one can take courses, online or in person, or just read lawbooks. Jailhouses are full of such people, giving other inmates advice, for example. However, one cannot practice law without a license to do so in the state in which one is practicing.
I agree that you should not take advice from someone who is not a lawyer. There is no reason the person can't have taken a few law classes and may even have some knowledge of the law. However, leaving aside the question of the unauthorized practice of law, there are reasons you should be very skeptical of the advice of a non-lawyer. The law is not a static body of knowledge like Greek philosophy, but is always changing, sometimes in very sudden, important ways. What your friend may have picked up in her law school class may no longer be the law today. New doctrines are constantly being developed and old cases are constantly being overturned. Only a lawyer who is actively practicing in a particular area can keep up with all the changes in the law. You should not only consult a lawyer, but consult a lawyer experienced in the area that concerns you.

Vac8p is a vacuolar membrane protein that is required for efficient vacuole inheritance and fusion, cytosol-to-vacuole targeting, and sporulation. By analogy to other armadillo domain proteins, including beta-catenin and importin alpha, we hypothesize that Vac8p docks various factors at the vacuole membrane. Two-hybrid and copurfication assays demonstrated that Vac8p does form complexes with multiple binding partners, including Apg13p, Vab2p, and Nvj1p. Here we describe the surprising role of Vac8p-Nvj1p complexes in the formation of nucleus-vacuole (NV) junctions. Nvj1p is an integral membrane protein of the nuclear envelope and interacts with Vac8p in the cytosol through its C-terminal 40-60 amino acids (aa). Nvj1p green fluorescent protein (GFP) concentrated in small patches or rafts at sites of close contact between the nucleus and one or more vacuoles. Previously, we showed that Vac8p-GFP concentrated in intervacuole rafts, where is it likely to facilitate vacuole-vacuole fusion, and in "orphan" rafts at the edges of vacuole clusters. Orphan rafts of Vac8p red-sifted GFP (YFP) colocalize at sites of NV junctions with Nvj1p blue-sifted GFP (CFP). GFP-tagged nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) were excluded from NV junctions. In vac8-Delta cells, Nvj1p-GFP generally failed to concentrate into rafts and, instead, encircled the nucleus. NV junctions were absent in both nvj1-Delta and vac8-Delta cells. Overexpression of Nvj1p caused the profound proliferation of NV junctions. We conclude that Vac8p and Nvj1p are necessary components of a novel interorganelle junction apparatus.

Average review score based on 7 user reviews
I have had Bose 301 Series III speakers (currently using them for superb-sounding rear surrounds), and convinced my then-fiancee to buy some for her small apartment stereo. She got Series IV 301s, and I was suitably impressed. In the late 1990s, Consumer Reports rated these highly for a very flat frequency response (accuracy across the 20-20,000hz range). Surprising bass comes out of these compact speakers, due to the tuned port design, and the Direct/Reflecting(R) design allows properly placed 301s to create a soundstage much larger than you'd expect from such speakers.
If the pair being sold looks to be in good condition (ask for pics of all the grills -- there are two grills per speaker, one of them on the outside towards the back), you could do worse for your money. They look distinctive in black or the rarer cherry wood veneer.
If you are looking for a speaker that provides great sound in a small package, then the Bose 301IV is a speaker to look at. With three drivers, woofer, midrange and tweeter, place in an enclosure that provides great bass and subbass for a 8" woofer, great Bose reflective sound for mids and highs, then this is the speaker to purchase.
Audio quality is fantastic for such a compact cabinet. I have mine connected to my TV and use it to watch movies, watch TV and also to play audio CD's. These speakers deliver.
I love to buy this speaker because its look good and not using too much space for it. It also have Great sound, easy to use and connect. I would love to prefer my family and friend to use this type of speakers.
Bought these speakers and love the sound and quality of the product. I recommend these to anyone who listens to the stereo instead of watching the boobtube.
They sound good. A little large for my smaller living room. But if you have the room for them, there about 10 x 17, they sound great. Got em for a steal too.

The fiery, center-left leader says it was their loss for refusing two opportunities to swap defaulted bonds for new, less valuable bonds that the state has reliably paid since 2005.
NML Capital fund, run by billionaire Paul Singer and other plaintiffs, slammed Argentina's arguments late on Friday.
''With more than $43 billion in foreign currency reserves and tens of billions of dollars in additional resources, Argentina has the overwhelming capacity to pay the $1.3 billion it owes in this matter,'' Peter Truell, spokesman for NML's parent company Elliott Management Corp., told the Associated Press in e-mail.
''Today's filing by the Republic once again demonstrates Argentina's irrational persistence in evading its contractual obligations and the orders of US courts.''
Oral arguments in the case are scheduled for Feb. 27 before the U.S. 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals in New York.
Associated Press writer Luis Andres Henao in Santiago, Chile contributed to this report.

The Myth of Evolution
"Williams Jennings Bryan was motivated by his conclusion that Darwinism taught "the law of the jungle" and had led to World War I by subverting the morality of the Germans.... The paper concludes that teaching evolution leads to moral relativism. As one contemporary supporter of intelligent design put it, "Darwinian evolution tells us not only where we came from but also what behavior is natural and normative for humans… Teach kids they are animals, and they'll act like animals."
1. The biggest scientific myth is the theory of evolution.
Theory of Evolution is not proven. To say theory of evolution is proven is like to say the fairy on the moon is proven. There is absolutely no proof that a lower species after billions of years evolved into a higher species, or an ape evolved into a human. Scientists cannot even know the time of their deaths in only a span of few years, how could they know what happened billions of years ago since they were not there? Scientists cannot know many things they can see and touch right before their eyes, how can they know what they could not see or touch billions of years ago?
Arrogant scientists could make assumptions about events billions and billions of years ago, where and how the humans came from without proof or concrete evidence. If one defines evolution as descent with change, that could be supported with evidence. If one defines evolution as a lower species through billions and billions of years ago evolved into a higher species – that is an unproven and laughable scientific myth. In the first place, no one lives that long to witness what happened billions and billions of years ago. It is impossible to make scientific analysis or comparison. Not to say humans cannot be sure of too many things a few thousand years ago, people cannot even be sure what is happening right before their eyes. I recalled when I was an undergraduate, the academia were debating how the Vietnam War came about. They are still debating without conclusion. In fact, it is not too difficult to find the truth. Scientists cannot explain the phenomenon of UFO. Scientists do not know too many things. For science is not absolute knowledge, it is only the best organized human knowledge at a given time and place. The best knowledge at a given time and place may be wrong; that happens too often in medical science and economics, etc. All humans are fallible, so science is fallible as proven by many defunct scientific beliefs.
Even today scientists do not know exactly how many species exist on earth. They guess 8.7 million. It is not because they know and have counted 8.7 million species. It is easy to know the number of books in the U.S. Library of Congress on 1 February 2011 was 22,194,656, but cannot tell how many different species of plants and animals we share our world with. Some estimates of the world's species range from 3 million to 100 million. The disparity gap is too wide, it is a very crude estimate supposed to be scientific. They simply guess, only an estimate. These estimates exclude microorganisms and virus types. Even the most rigorous mathematical analysis reflects the human limitation. Scientists make mistakes in extrapolating from a sample to determine a global total. Some scientists admit that 86 percent of all terrestrial species and 91 percent of all marine species have yet to be discovered, described and catalogued. The more scientists discover the more they discover they do not know. That is the limitation of human knowledge. Nature is a fundamental scientific mystery. Some scientists compare the planet to a complex machine of multi-million parts, all of which perform a valuable function. How complex the life-supporting system is. Evolutionary processes do not create species. Here again scientific evidence supports the intelligent design of the creation. By the creation we come to know the Creator. It is not possible to have the creation without the Creator.
It is not reason but foolish speculation to say we know the age of our universe (13-14 billion years), the age of the Earth (4-5 billion years). If the difference between one billion is called knowledge, the disparity of billions would be wisdom. The folly and flaw of so-called scientific knowledge is hydrocephalic and hyperbolic and highfalutin and unfounded. Arrogant scientists, do you know when are you going to die? If you do not know a simple thing like when you are going to die, how can you know things 13-14 billion years ago? Where were you when the universe was formed? If you cannot know billions of things visible on earth, how can you know infinite things invisible in the universe? There is nothing more dreadful than airtight arrogance and close-minded senseless speculation!
2. God has made from one blood every nation of men.
The Bible says, "And He (God) has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings." (Act 17:26) All humans are biologically related by blood, no matter what race or color you are. There are four types or groups of human blood: A, B, AB, and O. Now if humans came from monkeys, they must be biologically related. If monkey's blood is compatible with human blood, there would be no shortage of blood needed for transfusion. You can raise monkeys, and there would be abundant blood banks.
An ungodly journalist wanted to solicit public attention by writing,
Rick Perry, the Republicans' Messiah? Rick Perry was not the Republicans' Messiah. Perry could not save himself and failed to become the Republican candidate, much less the nominee. Except Jesus Christ, anyone who claims to be Messiah is a false messiah and anti-Christ. The self-anointed and self-conceited journalist seems to know how old the earth is (she may claim she was there when the earth was formed). Evolution is not the established science; it is the greatest scientific myth. "If we are descended of some blend of apes, then we can't have been created in God's image. If we establish Earth's age at 4.5 billion years, then we contradict the biblical view that God created the world just 6,500 years ago. And finally, if we say that climate change is partly the result of man's actions, then God can't be the One who punishes man's sins with floods, droughts, earthquakes and hurricanes. If He wants the climate to change, then He will so ordain, and we'll pray more."
(A). This ungodly journalist may be descended of some blend of apes if she insists, but that does not make a scientific fact because man is not biologically related to apes. If she is related to apes, try a blood transfusion of ape's blood into her will soon find out. There is no biological link between man and apes, for that reason the blood of man is different from the blood of apes or monkeys.
(B). If we (probably it means she and unbelieving scientists) establish Earth's age at 4.5 billion years; no, this is not a Gospel truth. It has never been established by anyone or by any means because scientists were not there and it was only a rough estimate.
The Bible never says that God created the world just 6,500 years ago.
Apparently this anti-Christ journalist is so ignorant of the Bible and full of mistaken ideas about God. The Bible
says in the beginning God created the universe. The Bible does not define how long ago the beginning was. God existed long before time and space.
(D). Whether Rick Perry believes climate change is partly the result of man's actions or not has nothing to do whether God can punish man's sins with floods, droughts, earthquakes and hurricanes. The Word of God makes it clear that God can punish and does punish sinners by any means. History is full of proofs of divine intervention. Ask Nebuchadnezzar and all dictators. Just continue to sin against God and see if this ungodly reporter will die in her sin or not. Does she know when she is going to die to face judgment of God? God acts as He pleases, God does not solicit the opinion of an obscure journalist trying to make a name. God does not hear the prayers of sinners, in particular children of darkness.
"And also why he probably can't win a national election, in which large swaths of the electorate would prefer that their president keep his religion close and be respectful of knowledge that has evolved from thousands of years of human struggle against superstition and the kind of literal-mindedness that leads straight to the dark ages."
Here again a hydrocephalic journalist calls the Christian faith superstition and the kind of literal-mindedness that leads straight to the dark ages – profoundly reflects her ignorance of history and fact. It was Christians like Martin Luther who were enlightened by the Word of God that led the world out of dark ages. It was the Protestant Reformation that paved the way for Renaissance. There could not be Renaissance without Reformation. She may consider men like Newton, Pascal, Bacon, Goethe, Kant and countless great men and women who made history as superstitious. The first system of law was the Mosaic Law written in the Bible, and the first book printed was the Holy Bible. A little frog in the well does not know how vast the universe of knowledge is. Not too long ago, scientists believed there were only a few thousand stars in the universe; while God revealed to Abraham several thousand years ago that the stars were too numerous to count. Only recently scientists discovered the expanding universe, while prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah already knew it by revelation long time ago. Do not be fooled by people who do not even know when they are going to die. How can you believe in people who do not know what is going to happen the next hour in claiming to know events of billions and billions of years ago?
3. Even if evolution does not teach values, it implies about values.
Atomic weapons do not teach values either; it implies the nature of their destructive values. There is ample evidence that what "ought" to be is inevitably defined and predetermined by what "is" from nature. You cannot expect a "pig" to be clean, or a "tiger" to be tame. If you are a dog, you bark like a dog and walk like a dog. If you are an animal, you live like an animal. The "ought" about human behavior is intricately and inseparably derived from the "is" of human nature. If man was created by God in His image, man ought to live in a way that reflects God's image. Moral values are derived absolutely from the word of God. Man did not know that murder, rape, and greed were wrong until God gave the Ten Commandments. Man did not know sin until the law came. If you came from an animal and knowing you are animal, that invariably leads to moral relativism. What you are logically follows what you do. A creature with animalistic impulses will act like an animal. A robber robs and kills. Morality is connected to God as the Creator of mankind and the universe. Morality is not and cannot be connected to society because there is no perfect society as a model. A true Christian is less likely to commit murder than an evolutionist who is without God and without hope.
4. Jesus Christ validated the Old Testament and confirmed the truth of
"And He (Christ) answered and said, Have you not read that He (God) who created them from the beginning made them male and female?" (Mat 19:4) You have religious freedom to believe what you choose, but you cannot claim to be a Christian and believe in evolution. For the theory of evolution is contrary to the clear teaching of creation by God as it is written in the Bible. I would rather believe in Jesus Christ my God and Savior than all the scientists of all times put together. Why? Not even one scientist could tell when he/she is going to die. How could I trust the theory of such feeble and flawed creatures to guide my life?
Yes,there are many gaps in evolution theory. Evolution is a theory unproven and cannot be proven. No scientists can use billions and billions of years as a pretext to prove evolution is a fact. Right before our eyes Wall Street created the economic and financial crisis beginning in 2008, and yet the faulty legal system still has not put the major culprits in jail. The media and vested interests present the economic and financial crisis as if it were a natural disaster or catastrophe. After looting the world more than $50 trillion dollars, there are crooks and criminals still want to distort the fact. There are a few facts that serious and intelligent persons must consider about evolution.
(A). The unbelieving scientists do not even know when they are going to die, how can they know events billions and billions of years ago, since they were not there. When I was at the university, the academia was debating what caused the Vietnam War. How limited is human intelligence that people cannot know what is happening right before their eyes.
(B). If evolution means descent with change, there is some validity. Everything changes over time. If evolution means a lower species over billions and billions of years changes into a higher species, that is a poppycock and nonsense. Ape does not change into a man; many men have degraded into apes.
(C). All humans were made by one blood. Human blood is different from animal blood. The blood of monkey is not related to human blood. Monkeys are not biologically related to humans. If a monkey blood is related to man, then you can raise monkeys and put their blood in the bank for transfusion to humans whenever is needed.
(D). There is truly intelligent design in the creation: from the infinite design of snow flakes to billions and billions of galaxies and stars far far away.
(E). Jesus Christ who came down from heaven and died for sinners, rose from the dead by the power of God and ascended to heaven, and is coming again to be the King of kings and Lord of lords, validated the fact of creation, that man was created directly by God. I would rather believe in Jesus Christ my God and Savior than all the unbelieving scientists and scholars in the world put together.
5. The Wonder of creation.
Snowflakes have a variety of sizes and shapes. Formation of snowflakes is influenced by differing temperature and humidity, bonding of molecules, etc. How wonderful would it be if our naked eyes can see water molecules in clouds engage in a complex dance of phase changes. An ordinary snowflake has hundreds of branches, ribs, and ridges, all arranged in minutely different geometric designs. Unbelieving scientists may have manufactured reasons; the only answer why no two snowflakes are the same is the wonder of God's creation. The formation of snowflakes is just one of countless masterpieces of God's creation. Just imagine a snowflake is estimated to have something on the order of a quintillion molecules. (That's the number 1 with 18 zeros.) It is too much for an ordinary man to count just one trillion, how much more is a quintillion. Remember, the best scientists can do is to estimate; they do not really know or count the exact quantity; much less if the object is almost invisible to the naked eyes even with standard optical microscope. It is estimated that snowflakes fall around a septillion every year — that's a 1 with 24 zeros.
Psa 19:1,"To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork."
Note: From snowflakes down on earth to the countless stars in the universe
they declare the glory, power and wisdom of God. This is not what the theory of
evolution can explain or fathom. It is much better and surer to believe in the Lord and Creator of the universe than to believe in unbelieving scientists who do not know when they are going to die.
I do not know Georgia Rep. Paul Bron personally who said on
Sept. 27. 2012 that evolution, embryology and Big Bang theory are "lies
straight from the pit of hell." I do not know what Dr. Bron refers to embryology
and lay it aside, but I concur that evolution and the Big Bang theory are lies
from the pit of hell. Evolution and the Big Bang theory are the greatest
scientific myths unproven and unverifiable. Dr. Bron also said that he believes
the Earth is about 9,000 years old and that it was made in six days. Fundamentalists
who believe the Earth was created 9,000 years ago are misled and misguided. Those
beliefs held by fundamentalist Christians among other things the creation
accounts in the Bible are historically and literally true. The Earth was made
in six days as it is written in the Bible, but the Bible does not say the Earth
is about 9,000 years old. I have no problem in believing the Almighty God could
create the earth in 6 hours or 6 minutes, but I have problem in believing the earth
was created 9,000 years ago no matter who says it. The Bible does not give any clue
or hint that the Earth was created 9,000 years ago. My fellow Christians, we are
not required to believe the extraneous or extra-Biblical. Whatever the Bible says
is so, what the Bible does not say no one knows for sure. Jesus Christ confirms
the creation of the universe and man and woman by the direct hand of God.
Fundamentalist Christians believe the Bible is the Word of God, infallible and
eternal. Fundamental Christians do not believe in the teaching of any man. We
must stress what the Bible stresses and not speculate what the Bible does not
say. It is equally wrong to add or subtract from the Word of God. We believe the
Bible as it is written, no more no less.
It is reported that astronomers have discovered the largest known structure in the universe, a clump of active galactic cores that stretches 4 billion light-years from end to end. Knowledge is divided among the knowable and unknowable, the known and the unknown. Isn't it strange scientists just discovered the largest known structure in the universe? It is always there, but scientists did not know and so they just discovered. Just like scientists always know they are going to die, they just do not know when or the date of their death. There are many unknown things on earth right before the eyes of scientists. How can you be sure unbelieving scientists know things in the expanding universe (as Bible teaches) a couple thousand years ago. Thus human knowledge is so limited and restricted and tentative, how can you relying on dying unbelieving scientists for your soul and destiny and eternity?
By God's revelation Abraham knew the stars in the universe were too numerous to count some 4,000 years ago, scientists only discovered the fact in modern time. You cannot have a correct knowledge of astronomy if you believe there are only six or seven thousands stars in the sky as astronomers believed not too long ago.
Isa 40:22,"It is He (God) who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, Who stretches out the heavens (universe) like a curtain and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in."
Note: The Hebrew word for circle is chuwg which means circuit, ring, compass, sphere; - it occurs only 3 times in the Old Testament. Isaiah, the Hebrew prophet, by God's revelation in the 8th century B.C. knew the earth was round while the Chinese ancestors thought the earth was square. God sits above the circle of the earth. Isaiah also knew about the expanding universe because God stretches out the heavens like a curtain.
The origin of man could not come from evolution or big bang. The origin of the creation came from the Creator, the Lord of the universe. Evolution is the biggest scientific myth promoted by unbelieving scientists.
If you want to believe in a lie, God will
not stop you. That is your free will, but there is a consequence, eternal consequence.

Whenever I see Jonathan Sanchez's name I still think of him as a Giants pitcher (and as the picture below shows, SBN agrees). Which is why it's very confusing to see him pitching for the Rockies against the Giants. Meanwhile, his opponent Ryan Vogelsong has quietly put together an excellent season, improving on last year's out of nowhere All-Star season (and bolstering my fantasy team). Again, the Rockies do not have the pitching advantage in this one. I think that has been the case in about 95% of games this year.
It's always nice to beat the Giants. I hope I get the chance to see it at least once this weekend.
Not that very many of you will be watching due to the Olympics. I don't blame you.

Group continues to seek appropriate use of rugged Montgomery County tract
The wooded mountainside and creek valley behind the Thomas Lane neighborhood of Prices Fork won't become a Montgomery County park – but they may still become some manner of private preserve or a part of Virginia Tech.
Randi Lemmon of the Friends of the Rivers of Virginia, the nonprofit organization that owns 44 acres that once were home to some of the region's earliest European settlers, said recently that the group is seeking a conservation easement to limit future development and lower its assessed value.
After that, he wrote in an email, the rivers organization will probably ask the Montgomery County Board of Supervisors to remove the property from the tax rolls. Next, the group may convey the property to the Price Family Historical Society.
Or the rivers group might give it to Virginia Tech's College of Natural Resources & Environment, which controls the adjoining 1,200-acre Fishburn Forest and is interested in adding to it, Lemmon wrote.
The group intended to give the property to Montgomery County as a new public park named for Harvey Price, Tech's longest-serving dean of agriculture. Price, whose family lent its name to the Prices Fork community, once farmed the property, as had generations before him.
Price's granddaughter, Anne Price Yates, who lives in Oregon, approached Montgomery County supervisors in 2010 and asked them to accept the land. The supervisors, who were in the midst of coping with the collapse of Blacksburg High School's gym roof and debating an eventual decision to build new high schools in Blacksburg and Riner and renovate a middle school in Riner, said they had no money to develop a new park.
Yates donated the property to the Friends of the Rivers of Virginia, who this year again approached supervisors, saying they would help find grants or donations to pay for constructing a parking lot and other expenses.
But last month, supervisors voted to again turn down the offer.
Supervisor Bill Brown, whose district includes the proposed park, said he'd heard from residents who were worried about traffic or trespassers. Other supervisors noted that the county's finances still were tight, and said there was not enough money for maintaining existing parks, much less developing a new one.
Lemmon wrote that Yates, who was traveling and could not be contacted directly, supported donating the property to either the Price family group or Tech.
Yates, a painter who has exhibited around the world, said earlier this year that she wanted the property to be put to public use that would honor her grandfather.
Jimmy Price, the historian for the Price Family Historical Society, made up of about 100 Price relatives, said the 44 acres under discussion includes the site where the family first settled in the community that would bear its name.
Four Price brothers had arrived from Germany in 1738 and made their way south down the Shenandoah Valley. They settled in the Horseshoe Bend area of the New River for a time, then in 1754 came to what would be called Prices Fork, Price said. They joined a community of German immigrants that had established itself three decades or so before the building of Smithfield in Blacksburg, Price said.
Three of the brothers soon moved back to the Shenandoah Valley. But Michael Price stayed, building a limestone fort around a spring during the French and Indian War.
That fort was partly on the 44-acre property now owned by the rivers group, Price said. Later Prices farmed and operated a grist mill there.
Regardless of what is done with the property, "I think everybody hopes it will be a benefit and not any kind of detriment to that neighborhood – and the historicity of that property will be preserved," Price said.

The 76ers might be an under .500 team but no one is more deserving to be an all star than Jrue Holliday, a star on a gloomy team. Holliday is one of the young players who battles to win every night even though he really does. Statistically Jrue is close to averaging a double-double with leading the team with both 19 points per game and 9 assists per game. In addition Holliday is also one of Philly's better defenders ranking second on the team with 55 steals on the season.

Struggling to Combat Slowing Growth and Rising Costs in Key BRICS Markets?
A conversation with your regional counterpart in EMEA, LATAM, or APAC can help you understand the common structural factors driving lackluster growth and help you re-set corporate expectations for growth in 2014
2013 has been a difficult year for the BRICs—economic growth has decelerated across the board due to the confluence of external headwinds and domestic inefficiencies, while the political will to push for necessary structural reforms has proven elusive.
For emerging markets executives seeking to respond to slowing growth in key BRICS markets, cross-regional conversations can be valuable for issue diagnosis and strategy development. The premise of the argument here is a simple one: common problems can and ought to be identified, so that viable strategies for driving profitable growth given less favorable medium-term prospects for the BRICs can be replicated and applied across regions.
I've been ruminating about Brazil's slowdown and potential for recuperation in 2014 for several quarters now, while my EMEA colleague, Martina Bozadzhieva, has been doing the same with respect to Russia. However, it wasn't until we had an opportunity to sit down together and discuss the dynamics driving Brazil and Russia that we learned how much these two seemingly disparate markets have in common.
Listen to our podcast below for a quick recap of the structural factors driving lackluster growth in Brazil and Russia, and get a cross-regional perspective on strategies for managing corporate expectations and improving bottom-line performance across the BRICS.

Now in his eighth season as Music Director of the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, William Eddins has a captivating energy, a magnetic stage presence, and an adventurous musical curiosity that continues to propel the orchestra to unique, new and exciting achievements. His commitment to the entire spectrum of the ESO audience brings him to the podium for performances in every subscription series, as well as for a wide variety of galas and specials.
A distinguished and versatile pianist, Bill was bitten by the conducting bug while in his sophomore year at the Eastman School of Music. In 1989, he began conducting studies at the University of Southern California with Daniel Lewis, and Assistant Conductorships with both the Minnesota Orchestra and the Chicago Symphony (the latter under the leadership of Daniel Barenboim) followed.
Bill has many non-musical hobbies including cooking, eating, discussing food and planning dinner parties. He is also quite fond of biking, tennis, reading and pinball. He recently complete building a state-of-the-art recording studio at his home in Minneapolis, where he lives with his wife Jen (a clarinetist), and their sons Raef and Riley.
While conducting has been his principal pursuit, he continues to perform as pianist, organist and harpsichordist. He has conducted the ESO from the keyboard on many occasions, and in 2007, joined then-ESO concertmaster Martin Riseley and cellist Yo-Yo Ma in Brahms' Piano Trio No. 1 at a gala concert celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Winspear Centre. In 2008, he conducted Gershwin's Porgy and Bess for Opéra de Lyon, leading to repeat performances in Lyon, London and at the Edinburgh International Festival in 2010. Other international highlights include a 2009 tour of South Africa, where Bill conducted three gala concerts with soprano Renée Fleming and the kwaZulu-Natal Philharmonic Orchestra. On May 8, 2012, Bill made his Carnegie Hall debut conducting the ESO at a memorable concert featuring four Canadian soloists, and music by three Canadian composers alongside Martinů's rarely-performed Symphony No. 1.
