Series: Understanding Randomness (5 entries)
In this series, Kathryn Applegate addresses the concern that randomness implies the absence of God's activity and involvement in the natural world. She begins by clearing up some common misconceptions about the concept of "randomness", and later focuses on the mechanisms of the immune system to demonstrate that God works through random processes to preserve life. Far from being an indication of a "godless" universe, one might conclude that randomness is one of God's favorite mechanisms for creating and sustaining life!
Series: God and Creation (5 entries)
In this four part series, David Opderbeck explores the interesting relationship between God and his creation. He first looks at his transcendence over the material world. In one respect, God is completely distinct from all creation, yet he is also immanent, or present within all creation. Another aspect of God reflected in creation is his Triune nature. Just as love, fellowship, and delight exist within the Trinity, so these characteristics are present in the world, and experienced by humans. He completes his thoughts with a discussion about God's interaction with humans.
Did David Hume "Banish" Miracles?
"I flatter myself," Hume triumphantly proclaimed, "that I have discovered an argument . . . which, if just, will, with the wise and learned, be an everlasting check to all kinds of superstitious delusion, and consequently, will be useful as long as the world endures."
Series: Divine Action in the World (5 entries)
In this talk, Professor Plantinga addresses the fact that many contemporary thinkers—including many theologians—believe that God cannot perform miracles, providentially guide history, or interact in the lives of people, as these activities would be contrary to science. Plantinga, on the other hand, makes the case that this popular view is mistaken; excluding divine action in the world is not a central feature of natural science itself, but a philosophical or theological preference that has been added on to science (and can just as readily be removed). Plantinga concludes that it is completely logical to accept the miracles of the Bible and support contemporary science.
How Do We Know the Earth is Old? (Infographic)
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about the tools scientists use to determine the age of the Earth. The graphic, titled "How Do We Know the Earth is Old?", uses data compiled and summarized by geology professor Dr. Gregg Davidson.
Series: The God Who Acts: Robert John Russell on Divine Intervention and Divine Action (8 entries)
Does God need to supernaturally "intervene" in order to bring about the diversity of life that we observe today? Is that kind of action different from God's ordinary action? We begin our three-part series with Robert John Russell's description of how views of divine action have changed throughout history, excerpted from his book Cosmology: From Alpha to Omega. Part 2 addresses why "intervention" in the natural world is a problem philosophically, theologically, and scientifically; and Part 3 explains Russell's own theory of divine action in the natural world.
Series: Randomness and God's Governance (5 entries)
In this three-part series from Pruim's chapter in the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, mathematician Randall Pruim explains what scientists and mathematicians mean when they speak of something being "random". He also addresses God's use of apparent randomness in creation as a part of his sovereign rule.
A BioLogos Response to William Dembski, Part 1
We think that God created all living organisms, including humans, through the evolutionary process. But acceptance of creation through evolution does not mean that we reject the notion of a miracle-working God. On the contrary...
Evolution: Is God Just Playing Dice?
With his standard panache, the late Harvard paleontologist Stephen J. Gould argued strenuously that evolution had no inherent directionality. We are mere accidents; a "tiny twig on an improbable branch of a contingent limb on a fortunate tree".
God's Use of Time
I find that when many Christians think about the way God created our universe, they often bring a static expectation similar to what we bring to an ordinary statue. It's as if we assume the physical realm were merely a rigid three-dimensional sculpture, immovable with time.
When Appearances Are Deceiving
"That just doesn't sound right." Ever since I was a kid, that was my gut reaction to those well-meaning people in my church and school who told me that despite what many in the sciences were saying, the earth and the entire universe were actually of relatively recent manufacture.
Uncertainty is Uncomfortable
Scientists become fairly comfortable with a certain level of uncertainty within scientific data, notes Kathryn Applegate, but that is not the case for most people, especially where faith is concerned
Series: Miracles and Science (7 entries)
In this five section series, Ard Louis explores the relationship between science and miracles. He indicates the self-imposed limitations of science to discover knowledge while warning against the God-of-the-Gaps explanations. Then, he explains the two types of miracles seen in Scripture: those that are divine timing and those that are violations of the natural. Overall, God sustains natural processes, but, as the master composer, he has the ability to perform miracles as well.
Series: The Biblical Premise of Uniformitarianism (4 entries)
In this three part series, geologist Stephen Moshier critiques John MacArthur's articles on uniformitarianism, while offering an alternative perspective on the principle. He exposes faulty conceptions about and misleading definitions of uniformitarianism. Gregory Bennett further defends the idea of an old earth as Biblical and focuses on the unchanging nature of God. He also discusses the Scriptural doctrines of creation and God's providence.
Evidences for Evolution, Part 1: An Ancient Earth
The only conclusions in science which are widely accepted are those which are supported by multiple, reinforcing lines of evidence – "all roads must lead to Rome". If there is even one scientific trajectory that seems to clearly lead off to Peoria instead of Rome, the scientific process demands that the scientist find out why.
How are the ages of the Earth and universe calculated?
Many independent measurements have established that the Earth and the universe are billions of years old. Geologists have found annual layers in glaciers that can be counted back 740,000 years. Using the known rate of change in radio-active elements (radiometric dating), some Earth rocks have been shown to be billions of years old, while the oldest solar system rocks are dated at 4.6 billion years. Astronomers use the distance to galaxies and the speed of light to calculate that the light has been traveling for billions of years. The expansion of the universe gives an age for the universe as a whole: 13.7 billion years old.
(Updated April 16, 2012)
Is there room in evolutionary creation to believe in miracles?
God acts in more than one way in the natural world. God sustains the regular patterns of the physical world, but sometimes chooses to act outside of those patterns. God's regular patterns are what scientists describe as natural laws (like gravity or photosynthesis). God's actions outside those patterns are usually called supernatural actions or miracles (like raising someone from the dead). Evolutionary creationists believe in the miracles of the Bible and that God can do miracles today. Evolutionary creationists also believe that God is just as involved in the regular patterns of the universe as in miracles.

The Randomness Project
It is not uncommon to hear voices proclaiming that biology and physics have shown us that—at fundamental levels—nature is random, hence meaningless, purposeless, and without a creator. But how might God work providentially through indeterminate processes? The John Templeton Foundation has provided a generous grant of $1.69 million to support a new research initiative on the theme of Randomness and Divine providence.
Randomness and Evolution: Is There Room for God? (Videocast)
This BioLogos videocast addresses the idea of randomness as a part of natural selection, and whether it challenges the possibility of God using the evolutionary process as a means of creation.

Snow White and The Huntsman 2 Set for 2015 Release!!
Universal Pictures chairman Adam Fogelson hosted the studio's presentation at CinemaCon, and he revealed that they are currently aiming to release the sequel to Snow White and the Huntsman in 2015. After the fallout from the behind-the-scenes drama on the first film and a sizeable yet unremarkable box office (at least for a film budgeted at just under $200 million) for the Rupert Sanders-directed fantasy pic, movement on the SWATH sequel has been fairly slow. Star Kristen Stewart confirmed that she would be returning for the follow-up in December, and Fogelson affirmed just last month that Sanders would not be returning to direct.

America's 10 Fastest Growing Private Companies
CartagzRed Frog Events Acquia AdRoll Bluefin Payment SystemsGold & Silver Buyers Integrity Funding Edge Solutions Astrum Solar Unified Payments
Since the economy scraped bottom three years ago, consumers were pulling back, businesses large and small were hunkering down, but these scrappy enterprises were kicking into gear. The Inc. 5000 have grown from $196 billion in sales in 2008 to $299 billion in 2011, an average growth rate of 355%. Which are the scrappiest, speediest among them? We'll introduce you to the Top 10, in reverse order. --John McDermott
Greg Sanders, CEO and Founder
Elk Grove, Calif.
No. 10
2011 Revenue: $14.2 million
Three-Year Growth: 10,237%
Cartagz was founded in 2005 to take the pain out of going to the DMV. CEO Greg Sanders says his company has been successful simply because it's the only game in town. "There is no other thing like Cartagz," he says. The fees Cartagz collects for services like renewing a user's registration or paying parking tickets makes it slightly more expensive than going to the DMV, but many find it well worth it. More than 40% of visitors to the website end up buying Cartagz services. The site had just less than 25,000 customers in 2009. By the end of 2012, Sanders expects to have completed 750,000 transactions for the year.
Joe Reynolds, Founder and CEO
No. 9
2011 Revenue: $31.7 million
Three-Year Growth: 10,404%
Joe Reynolds founded Red Frog Events in 2007 because he saw a lucrative opportunity to create "unique, innovative, wacky events" for people. And he was right. Red Frog's first event, Great Urban Race, is now held in 21 cities across the U.S. and its mud race, Warrior Dash, is the world's largest series of running events, Reynolds says. Red Frog coordinates 20,000-person events each weekend of the year, and this July, Red Frog hosted its first music event, Firefly Music Festival, featuring The Black Keys and Jack White among others.
Tom Erickson, CEO
Burlington, Mass.
No. 8
2011 Revenue: $21.7 million
Three-Year Growth: 10,461%
Acquia provides services and support for the digital publishing platform Drupal. Founder and CEO Tom Erickson says that Drupal is home to the largest open source software community in the world (more than 1.5 million people) and that up to 5% of the world's websites are hosted on Drupal. Acquia—founded in 2008 by chief technology officer and Drupal creator Dries Buytaert—has 5,000 customers, and adds 100 people each month. One of the company's biggest customers is the U.S. government; nearly a quarter of all .gov websites are hosted on Drupal.
Aaron Bell, CEO and Founder
San Francisco
No. 7
2011 Revenue: $12.4 million
Three-Year Growth: 11,082%
Aaron Bell was writing commercial software at 12 years old and worked at Microsoft before graduating from Stanford. But in 2007, he made the curious decision to switch from computer engineering to advertising. Quoting Mad Men's Don Draper, Bell says, "Kids don't grow up wanting to be in advertising," but he was drawn to the space because of it's challenging technical problems. Bell created an advertising platform that offers targeted web advertising for companies worldwide. AdRoll's clients include Armani Exchange and TiVo, and AdRoll customer Scottevest reported a more than 3:1 ROI on money spent on the service. In July, the company completed a $15 million funding round.
John Perry, CEO
No. 6
2011 Revenue: $55.5 million
Three-Year Growth: 11,676%
Bluefin Payment Systems' in-store payment business bottomed out during the recession. But the company, formerly Capital Payments, pivoted to help software companies build online payment solutions and became one of the fastest growing businesses in the nation. The company now handles 80,000 transactions daily for its 15,000 customers, adding an average of 250 per month. But CEO John Perry has no plans to stop growing; Bluefin is developing a mobile point of sale solution due out this fall and hopes to compete with Square and PayPal.
Amelia Culwell, President
Spring, Tex.
No. 5
2011 Revenue: $57.3 million
Three-Year Growth Rate: 12,746%
Gold & Silver Buyers, which ranked No. 8 on the 2011 Inc. 500 list, buys jewelry, bullion, and diamonds, then sells the materials on the precious metals market. Amelia Culwell became president in 2010, and she says the company's explosive growth is due to its upscale environment and convenience. While other metal buyers sell their purchases to refineries, Gold & Silver Buyers melts items itself and sells them directly to the bulk metal market. The company has more than 150 stores, and handles more than 1,000 transactions each day.
Gregory Roper, CEO and Founder
Sarasota, Fla.
No. 4
2011 Revenue: $14.7 million
Three-Year Growth: 12,443%
Gregory Roper built his financial services agency in 2007 and grew the company by targeting what he calls "esoteric" asset classes. Integrity Funding offers specialty financing for aviation production, cash flow settlements, and secondary market life insurance. In 2009, the company had 12 employees and closed only several deals with a size of $20,000. The company's workforce has more than doubled to 25 employees, and this year, nearly 200 deals--with an average size of $200,000--will be executed.
Julie Haley, Co-founder and CEO
Alpharetta, Ga.
No. 3
2011 Revenue: $21.7 million
Three-Year Growth: 21,036%
Julie Haley founded Edge Solutions with her husband in 2008 after years as a commercial litigation attorney. The IT firm, which specialization in providing storage, server, and networking services to manufacturing clients, has been able to gain market share in the Southeast, by gaining business from the health care and secondary education sectors. The company now has 141 customers, 40 of which were added in the last year.
Vadim Polikov, Founder and CEO
Annapolis Junction, Md.
No. 2
2011 Revenue: $26.9 million
Three-Year Growth: 23,577%
Vadim Polikov founded Astrum Solar in 2007 to fill a simple need: give homeowners access to solar-powered energy. "Lots of politicians and companies talked about (solar power), but nobody was actually doing it," Polikov says. Now, Astrum Solar serves homes in 12 states and is the largest residential solar panel provider in Massachusetts. The company more than tripled its customer base over the past year, mostly because customers typically receive a 20% return on investment on their purchase, he says.
Oleg Firer, Founder and CEO
North Miami Beach, Fla.
No. 1
2011 Revenue: $59.5 million
Three-Year Growth: 23,646%
Oleg Firer started his payment-processing company in 2003, but it wasn't until 2008 that it began its significant growth. It was then that Unified Payments acquired eight equity-distressed competitors struggling through the recession. Firer shut most of those companies down and absorbed their customers into Unified Payments. His holding company now services more than 100,000 merchants in the United States and handles approximately $10 billion in transactions annually. Firer believes the growth will continue because consumers are becoming increasingly averse to using cash. "We make money no matter what the economy is doing," he says.

It is still unclear if the House will bring up and vote on the farm bill in the lame-duck session after the election.
But the House vote on the farm bill will have to happen near the beginning of the session or there won't be time to get the bill completed before this Congress ends. And once the new Congress is sworn in, all the work that was done on the farm bill this year disappears and the new Congress must start the process over!
Most observers believe there will be less money available for farm programs if the farm bill is pushed off into next year. But if we are to get a farm bill yet this year, first the House needs to pass their version. Then it needs to go to a conference committee with the Senate to mesh the two bills together. And then the compromise bill has to be approved by both the full House and Senate. And all this needs to happen in about a four week period.
But some House members say there are enough votes to pass the farm bill that was developed in the Agriculture Committee. A group of 25 House members conducted a survey before Congress adjourned and came up with more than 220 votes in favor of the farm bill. A total of 218 votes are needed for passage.
However the key vote is House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) who controls what bills the House will consider. And at least so far, Cantor has blocked bringing the farm bill to the floor for a vote.
There won't be many changes immediately with the old farm bill expiring as September ends. But the Agriculture Act of 1949 goes into effect on January 1. The 1949 law uses "parity prices", which are based on a 1910-to-1914 ratio, for determining price support levels. Parity prices reflect the buying power of farm commodities in the base period versus costs of other goods and services. The 2012 parity price support for wheat, for example, would be $13.58 per bushel and the milk price support level soars to near $38 per cwt. under parity! Congress will need to take some action at least by early next year to avoid reverting back to the 1949 law.
And the farm bill cliffhanger isn't the only one Congress faces after the election. They also need to deal with the Bush-era tax cuts that all expire at the end of the year and many members want to at least rearrange the spending cuts that will automatically take effect in January under last summer's budget agreement.
Under current law, cuts totaling $109 billion go into effect in January, with half of the cuts in defense spending and half in domestic programs. The combination of the expiring tax cuts and the reductions in spending are being called the "fiscal cliff" - with many economists predicting a recession next year if Congress takes no action. Congress may also have to raise the debt ceiling again by the end of the year. The farm bill could get lost amid all of these priorities in the fairly short lame duck session of Congress.
President Obama and Presidential candidate Romney both support renewable fuels and passage of a strong farm safety net. Romney says he would give farmers relief from hefty environmental regulations and would push for repeal of the estate tax. President Obama touts his record of helping farmers deal with this year's drought and policies to strengthen rural economic growth.
The U.S. will start accruing massive export losses unless big investments are made in infrastructure according to a new report by the American Society of Civil Engineers. The report says public investment of $30 billion is needed in the nations' ports and inland waterways by 2020. By 2015 new mega-ships will pass through the improved Panama Canal, but these ships may be too big for East Coast ports to handle. But realistically, investments will probably fall short of what is called for in the current budget environment.

MOUNT OLIVE, N.C. - The Pfeiffer women's basketball team (1-7, 0-1 CC) was held without a field goal for over 18 minutes and fell to Mount Olive by a final score of 59-36 in their Conference Carolinas opener. The Falcons were held to 26 percent shooting from the field and didn't have a player score in double figures. Katie Paschal led the Trojans with 23 points on 10-of-16 shooting from the field and Jasmine McDonald added a double-double with 10 points and 13 rebounds.
Alexis Stallard's three point basket tied the contest at 12 apiece just five minutes into the contest. However, the Falcons dry spell stretched the rest of the half as they failed to convert a field goal. Stallard's free throw at the 6:43 was the only point scored by the Falcons in that stretch, as the Trojans used a 18-1 run to take a commanding 30-13 lead into the half. Vivian Doerr ended the streak as she knocked down a three pointer just over three minutes into the second half.
McDonald pulled down 10 of her 13 boards in the first 20 minutes. The Trojans outrebounded Pfeiffer 26-7 in the second half.
Stallard and Doerr led the way with eight points each while Lauren White added seven points and three blocks.Ā
The Falcons return to action on Saturday evening when they host Limestone at 5:30 p.m. at Merner Gym.

Creating Content for the Accounts that Matter
Hide details
Robert Rose, Author of Managing Content Marketing
Crafting content for the B2B marketplace is a challenging proposition. Long sales cycles, and multiple decision makers mean that the buyer's journey can be frustratingly complex. Creating content that resonates and engages both influencers and buyers at the accounts we value most should be relevant, personal and, most importantly, influential to his or her journey. Meanwhile, B2B websites are still cluttered with generic, "one-size fits all" content designed to convert the generic "buyer persona." What happens when you move to a focused, quality-first personal engagement strategy? What happens if you spend the time to fully engage at the top of the funnel, rather than at some generic "sales handoff" stage. Join Robert Rose, as he discusses the best practices of putting your best content in front of the people at the accounts that matter most.

Robert Rose, author of Managing Content Marketing, is the Chief Troublemaker at Big Blue Moose and is a strategist in residence for the Content Marketing Institute.

If you can't get the snow to the athletes, then bring the athletes to the snow.
That was the philosophy behind Far West Nordic's trip to Bend, Ore., this past weekend, where juniors got the chance to train in good conditions and race against top athletes from the Pacific Northwest region.
With no skiable snow at any local Nordic areas, this trip was key in keeping the racers on par with the rest of the nation, said Ben Grasseschi, head Far West and Auburn Ski Club coach.
"We were desperate for snow," he said. "We've got big races coming up, and the kids need to feel what it's like to be on snow consistently."
Jeff Schloss, head Nordic coach for Sugar Bowl Academy, who co-led the trip along with Grasseschi, echoed that sentiment.
"It's important physically just to get people on snow," Schloss said, "but even bigger is just the mental aspect of trying to keep people motivated at this time of year."
And in that sense, the trip was ideal, he said.
"This helped the kids to remember how fun skiing is," Schloss said. "(That will) help carry them through the rest of this drought until we get more snow."
Typically, Far West juniors would have skied in seven to 10 races by this point in the season, Grasseschi said. But as it stands with the current conditions, most have only raced three or four times.
But even without snow, the athletes have remained focused on putting in the work they need to stay in shape, including lots of rollerskiing on the region's dry roads, as well as strength training and skiwalking. Their continued dedication through adverse conditions was evident this past weekend, as Far West skiers took the Sunnyside Pursuit races at Mt. Bachelor by storm, beating out numerous top racers from the Pacific Northwest Ski Association on their own home course.
Day one of the Sunnyside Pursuit PNSA Master's Championship and Junior National Qualifier (Saturday) was a freestyle race, with distances ranging from 3 kilometers to 10, depending on age. Among junior age class results, Far West racers won five of the six categories.
In the girls' J3 race, Auburn Ski Club's Hannah Halvorsen took top honors, completing the course in 11:42.6. ASC's Bri Parker finished 15th.
Among J3 boys, Sugar Bowl Academy's Skyler Mullings outsprinted Mt. Bachelor's Nate Hochman, to win the race by 0.3 seconds.
In the J2 boys race, Auburn Ski Club's Dylan Syben placed first, completing the 5-kilometer loop in 15:11.0. Six other Far West skiers placed in the top-15, including SBA's Sam Zabell (5th); ASC's Julien Bordes (6th); ASC's Brandon Herhusky, "racing up," as a J3 in the J2 race (8th); and ASC's Evan Vomund of Incline Village, ASC's Aaron Deeter and SBA's Peter Carroll, who finished 13th through 15th, respectively.
In the 10-kilometer men's race, ASC's Patrick McElravey took second overall, missing out on the win by just 0.2 seconds to XC Oregon's Jason Adams. But McElravey won his age class, as the first J1 to cross the line. ASC's Jordan McElroy was fourth J1 male and fifth overall. He was followed by ASC's Alex Kopytko (8th J1), ASC's Branden Deeter (15th J1) and SBA's Joe Piercy (19th J1).
In the women's 5-kilometer race, SBA's Laurel Fiddler took top honors as she outkicked Bend's Muffy Roy to the line by a slim margin of just 0.2 seconds. Teammate Joelle Romo was the third J1 across the line, placing ninth overall. She was followed closely by SBA's Bria Riggs (11th overall, 6th J2), and ASC's Melanie Swick of Incline Village (12th overall, 1st OJ). Other Far West finishers included Presentation High School's Raylene Chew (8th J1), SBA's Danielle Nivinski (9th J2), SBA's Camille Hartley (10th J2) and SBA's Savannah Blide (14th J2).
Grasseschi said he was "very impressed with how well the kids raced," especially considering some haven't been on snow for a few weeks.
Sunday brought day two of the Sunnyside Pursuits — a classic race — and a training day for many Far West skiers.
Just a handful of Far West juniors raced the second day, but again posted excellent results. McElroy turned in the third-fastest time of the day in the 10-kilometer classic race, to propel him to third place overall in the pursuit (which adds times from both the freestyle and classic races). He was followed closely by McElravey, who finished fourth overall. Deeter also skied a strong classic leg to propel himself to 19th place overall.
In the men's J2 race, Syben held on to his lead to win the 10-kilometer pursuit.
Those who did not race Sunday took advantage of their time on snow, completing a long classic ski workout before hitting the road for the long drive home.
Overall, Schloss said the trip was a definite morale booster. It was motivating to see that the racers are still in great shape, he said.
"The kids are definitely more motivated," he said. "… This really fired them up."
Going forward, Grasseschi said, "We'll keep doing the best we can with what we have," which will include a lot more rollerskiing, the most ski-specific workout available to the team right now.
Far West Nordic is now focused on preparing for its next big trip. In two weeks, the athletes will head to Utah to race against top juniors from throughout the West, and get more time on snow in preparation for Junior Nationals in March.

A beautiful table setting is not complete without a centerpiece. It's like the topping of a cake. For the Christmas season everyone wants something glitzy and different. One of my most popular items I sale during the Christmas season are Cone Trees. Many people use them as centerpieces on their table. The cone trees can be easily accented with vases filled with ornaments or either two small floral arrangements.

"It was a big district win for us," commented Coach Vaughn after the win, "I'm just real proud of them, this was a team victory."
In the opening game of the MAIS Classification A District 3 games, Hebron Christian played host to Winona Christian on Thursday. Head Coach William Cotton was absent due to an illness, leaving the Lady Eagles under the direction of Assistant Coach MP.
The Lady Eagles stayed competitive with Winona only trailing the Lady Stars by 5 points at halftime. The second half was a different story as Hebron was unable to cope with Winona's full court press and were routed 56-28.
On Thursday night, the Lady Wave played one of their better games of the season so far. West Point played host to Okolona and defeated the Lady Chieftains 55-39. West Point had excellent bench play as the subs scored a combined 23 points. Qiayon Bailey led the Lady Wave against Okolona with 23 points. Also leading in scoring were Alexis Gates 9 points, Tyshia McCurry with 6 points, and Anqulisha Evans with 5 points.
It's been 12 years since Annie Barnes has seen her sister Jessie.
Jessie has been classified as a "Missing Person" since July 7, 2000, and she was last seen by family in the vicinity of the 800 block of Little Street in West Point.
"We call her Little Jessie because she is the baby of the four children my mother had," Barnes said.
Barnes' mother, Katie Ruth has taken the disappearance hard.
"She has been devastated ever since the day we found out "Little Jessie" had disappeared," she said.

This product is amazing! It's very easy to use, and you get salon results without paying $60 every time! This product is so worth using...my only suggestion is to make sure and wait til the wax dries, or use a blowdryer on a cool setting or a fan. Sometimes it gets sticky if it's too hot and hurts when you pull it off. I recommend following the waxing with aloe gel and dove deodorant. The combination seems to soothe the inflammation and prevent ingrown hairs. All in all, I absolutely love this product and have been using it for 3 months now!! Definitely worth the money!

Did Not Work For Me At All.
After reading the reviews of this I wanted to try it. I had never waxed at home with hard wax and the results were disastrous. I followed the directions exactly and it did not work for me at all. It would pull only a few hairs from a 1" x 2" piece of wax. I will say that it was not that painful so that was a plus, but it didnt really work for me so...

Not Impressed
I've been doing my own waxing for years. This product caught my eye because of the price so I gave it a try. It does work, I'll give it that. But they give you the tiniest wooden spatulas for waxing and that was really annoying to me. The pre-epilation oil it comes with is in a tiny bottle and it's a little messy to try to use. This product also cools off really fast since it's in such a small container. I was constantly having to reheat it. I'd rather pay a little more and get the Gigi Brazilian waxing kit folica sells. It comes with much more and really does a better job for me.

Loved It!
So Ive only ever tried the prewaxed strips u warm in ur hand which did not work. The wax was super easy to use. It deffanietly did the job, left me smooth and fabulous. It did get a lilttle stringy as it cooled off and was a bit messy but thats to be expected. Would deffanietly recomend it. Of course it was a bit painful and maybe a little bit worse since u have to rip it off and inflicting pain on yourself is never easy. This is a great alternative to spending big bucks at a salon.

I Can Get Used To This....smooth As A Baby's Bottom!
Hi! I've NEVER had a Brazilian wax done before; professionally or DIY...so this is my first time...after carefully doing a bit of research and reading extensive reviews I decided to give this product a try! I just got this in the mail yesterday and used it last night. HOWEVER, before I get to the good part, I'd like to address the bad first...After carefully following the directions and preparing to heat the product, I found that every time I placed the jar in the microwave sparks occurred! For approximately 10 secs, if that, it sparked every single time & I could never understand why when this is supposed to be a microwavable product. I checked my microwave, I checked the jar repeatedly and could not figure out why on earth it kept sparking (couldn't find a solution on google either haha) So my wax did not melt the quick/easy way via microwave. However, after speaking with a folica.com representative I was given an alternative suggestion by using the double boiler method. Not know what the heck that was, I just placed the jar of was in a pan of water, filled it enough to melt the wax not submerge it..let it heat over the stove for about 30-45 minutes and voila! I finally got my melted wax!!! And so began my waxing process...I followed the directions, PLEASE USE THE OIL it really does help...I waxed w/out using the oil and i really didn't feel a difference pain wise but I have a rather high tolerance for pain..the oil just makes it a smoother process..I waxed it all off and it's as smooth as baby skin! From the first application I knew there would be no more going back to razors for me! I really do LOVE THIS STUFF! It's at a great cost and it works very well! Just follow the guide, I'm a first timer and it worked out just fine. The only reason why I gave it 4 stars instead of all 5 is because I can't for the life of me figure out why mine sparked in the microwave! Other than that, it's all good...not gonna lie if you're sensitive it will hurt! But following the directions and practicing on a area before starting really helps a lot and you'll get the hang of it! Despite the sparks, I will purchase more of this brand along with a wax warmer because the boiling water method took too long for me! lol Hope this helps!

Great Results
I think with time it will be better, but my lack of DIY experience made it a bit messy and needing to run to the microwave a few times. However, it works great at getting hair and not your skin and I thought it was less painful than my $65 salon trips. I only ordered a single kit, but will definitely be getting the 3 count kit next time. No more salon for me for brazillian!

Not For Me!
I'm not sure that there's anything wrong with the actual product, but I prefer letting someone else swiftly getting the job done. Doing it yourself is messy, more painful, and takes longer (because you have to keep getting up to reheat the wax). If you are adamant about doing it yourself, I suggest to at least get that mechanism that keeps warming it.

One of my all time favorite designers. Huge compliment magnet for me.
Today I remembered why I bought Rive Gauche PH some years ago.
In the drydown, it reminds me a bit of Aventus minus the fruit.
This is great stuff. Amazing.
Ultra masculine. Sexy. Confident. Classy. Impressive.
It makes me feel good.
I don't wear this one a lot, which is a shame.
This smells like the most expensive, exquisite shaving cream you can imagine.
A Creamy Lady Killer.
Go easy on the trigger and let this aroma flow around you.
Pure magic.
Thank you Jacques Cavallier.
One of my all time favorite designers. Huge compliment magnet for me.
A truly great scent.
I need a new bottle.
Is the juice worth the squeeze?
Smells good and is a classic, always go for the tin can version and not the reformulated stuff in a bottle.
Enjoyable on almost any occasion and extremely versatile while retaining classiness.
Yep, I'm currently looking for a bottle. I can't get away from my decant. Why this has been discontinued for the more expensive and less likeable La Collection version, I will never know.
I have it in the can, and wish the longevity was better. May have to go with the somewhat similar Azzaro PH to get the longevity I require of a frag.
Rive Gauche is a great fragrance, but to call it shaving cream is superficial at best.
Maybe it is similar to Barbasol for a minute, but the drydown is much more intricate.
I have the regular one and also the intense version, both in a can, and I find them very close and absolutely great ! Longevity and projection are top on me. I had also in the past the light version but I prefer the more concentrated ones.
The can version can be found very easily on line ; buy it before it disappears !
Once again, one of my posts never appeared here.
So I'll try again.... can anyone state whether the "Intense" version of RG is actually stronger/longer lasting than the original?
Just did some research, and my question about the intense version might be irrelevant, as I can't find the intense version for sale anywhere. Only intense version of RG available at a few places is the women's RG.
So Azzaro PH it will be, as my RG substitute for better longevity.
Longevity and sillage is better and stronger than you might perceive.
I once did 3 sprays on a hot day and I can tell you, it was a nuclear bomb.
I was also convinced that it doesn't have good longevity and sillage... not anymore.
I realised that the strength and diffusion is just perfect.
You don't want this aroma to project heavily.
It should surround you softly. When you walk by people will get a whiff and be amazed.

I was talking about it in a positive way.
The scent of the best shaving cream in the world.

I agree with you when you say that Rive Gauche is deceptive ; I think the same thing about Azzaro Pour Homme. When I wear one of these, I reach a point after several hours where I feel that the scent is gone but in fact I am still surrounded by an amazing aura of fragrance.
Oh god, I just had a terrible shock with this. I went to order from my online store of choice, and they had just gone out of stock today. Managed to get it at another online store for a similar price (around £30 for 125ml), but it really does reinforce the fact that this is quickly vanishing from the shelves.
If you like this, it's time to stock up. We could have another M7 on our hands with this one...
i love this scent but i find the top and mid notes to be too old for me (i'm 19) so i commonly spray in the mornings so then it would have dried down for the evening which is when i find the scent becomes more "young" and acceptable for my age

FYI, I'm 24.
I remember wearing it to university while wearing a suit.
The female teachers were almost literally dropping their panties. LOL
Impressive stuff.
I haven't met anyone yet who is not impressed while I wear this.
Hell, even I am impressed if I haven't worn it for a long time.
This stuff's awesome!

Bastard double post again.
Regarding the RGph Intense, I have not noticed it lasting longer than the original. Both last the entire day for me ( which is plenty of hours !). With the Intense, the patchouli is more at the forefront).
Seeking: Bottles/decants : of Alain Delon Iquitos, Feeling Man, Gucci pour Homme, Essence of John Galliano, Opium pour Homme, Oxford & Cambridge, Azzaro pour Homme (vintage), Concentré D'Orange Verte...etc.
Seeking decant/sample of Jil Sander Feeling Man, Comme des Garcons 2 Man, Giorgio VIP, ....etc. I have samples to swap.
More HERE
Please PM me !
Always read this had a very dated smell to it, more geared for the 50+ crowd. I need to check this out since i've been looknig for somethign similiar that has the peformance this appears to have

Maybe it's just my skin, which is admittedly very dry, but after the initial blast of RG, fifteen minutes later I get.....nothing. I can barely smell it on myself, unless I press my nose to my arm.
(Very recently, had unfortunately the same experience with Chanel Pour Monsieur Concentree: a lemon blast, and a short time later.....nada, zip, as if I sprayed on scented water).
Might need to start looking at masculine fragrance bombs.
Love Love Love RGPH, and Azzaro PH is awesome as well. But I like the opening blast of RG more. It's bright and sparkly anise is a great pick me up on a dreary work morning. This thread is making me want to look for just one more tin can. I get a little panicky knowing this will be unavailable (or very expensive) soon.
Perfume Diary has it for around $40 for 125 ml.
I got this off a swap. Liked it, but never loved it. So I'm actually swapping my bottle now for a decant of a fragrance I've grown to love: Creed's Royal Oud! YESSS!!!
Amazon has it, looks like it's gone up a bit. It's $40 now, but free shipping. Still a great deal
One of my favorite fragrances, maybe my top2 of all time.
I also have the intense (sweeter and more patchouli) and the light (more woodsy) but i find the regular just perfect as it is.
The intense and light are not stronger or weaker by any means, they are just variations and the "sense" is that they are more night or morning fragrances.
What type of feedback do you all get with this one? I can imagine older women liking it a lot
To me it is definitely a more mature scent. I like it but not love it. Himalaya is a better soapy scent IMO.
My current top ten:
1. Spice and Wood
2. Tonka Imperiale
3. Dior Homme
4. Pure Malt
5. Oud Wood
6. Ambre Nuit
7. L'air Du Desert Marocain
8. Noir de Noir
9. Apple Brandy
10.Straight to Heaven
When you step back from stressing the parts,
when the mind becomes still, the rose comes to you,
unfolds in you in all her glory.
The perfume invades you completely.
The rose is you. You are one.
Jean Klein
Great fragrance.
Current top 10 (No order):
1. Pure Havane
2. Menthe Fraiche
3. Tobacco Vanille
4. L'Air Du Desert Marocain
5. Green Irish Tweed
6. Fahrenheit
7. Musc Ravageur
8. Tonka Imperial
9. Gucci Pour Homme II
10. Dior Homme Intense
It's my SOTD from a sample. I dabbed a little on my wrist last night and I was blown away. I have high expectations for the full wearing.
- - - Updated - - -
I was only a few hours into my first full wearing of this when I knew it was going to be part of my collection. The 10 hr. plus longevity was just another plus.
I wore it for the first time in the office yesterday. After the anise opening, I thought it wasn't bad and could actually handle and like it. Then, the other spices came in the middle stage (which lasted a long time), and I found it a little heavy for me. The dry down was really nice, cooled down, with a little soapy vibe. It lasted a long time on my skin and was still lingering 16 hours later. I just wish there was a lighter version of this. Will give it another full wearing next week before I decide if I should buy a full can.
Maybe I'm the only one on this whole board who didn't like it. I tested the tin can version last week, and personally just found it way too strong and sharp for my liking. And IMHO it did come off as a little dated smelling to me. I was expecting something a little more fresh, but I think I just found the anise overpowering.

RYAN VREDE analyses the key match ups and picks the winner from the Test at Newlands this weekend.
The Pumas are a breath of fresh air to a competition that had become stale and uninspiring. They also benefit the Springboks in the sense that their involvement eliminates Australia and New Zealand's travel advantage, which has been the point of much lamentation in the South African rugby fraternity. No more one-Test hit outs for the Wallabies and Blacks in the Republic. Now they will be tested in a manner they are unaccustomed to. This will make for fascinating viewing.
But while the Springboks will privately be thankful for the effect the Pumas' inclusion will have, their appreciation and hospitality will be reserved for the after-match function. The Springboks will start their campaign with a comfortable victory. Certainly there are areas of their game that continue to be worrying, and we'll discuss those shortly, but the Pumas don't have the personnel or tactical intelligence to exploit those areas in a manner that would facilitate a victory.
Their scrum will be imposing but those who believe it will be so dominant that it will be decisive to the outcome are deluded. The Springboks have a world-class front row and their scrum stood up to stern examination against England, widely regarded to be one of the best scrummaging units in the game. Don't underestimate the influence the Springboks' scrum coach Pieter de Villiers will have on readying his forwards for this challenge. He is an astute coach whose influence has already been lauded by the coaching staff and players.
It is the only phase of play they may hold an advantage, with the lineouts being dominated by Andries Bekker and co. The Pumas will look to get their powerful maul rolling at every opportunity. Bekker's reading of the defensive lineouts will be central to ensuring this doesn't become a point of concern for his side. He needs to assert himself in a manner he hasn't managed at any stage of his Test career. I have a gut feel he'll do so, and take the confidence gained from there through the remainder of the tournament. The lineout is also crucial in the context of the Springboks' attacking game plan. Don't be surprised if the bulk of the tries they score are birthed from this set piece.
The gainline and breakdown will be hotly contested but bossed by the hosts. Defensively the Springboks are sound and should stifle the Pumas' advances at the tackle point, making it difficult for them to execute their attacking strategy and nullify the influence of flyhalf Juan Martin Hernandez. Furthermore, in Willem Alberts, Bismarck du Plessis, Beast Mtawarira, Marcell Coetzee and Frans Steyn the Springboks have the strike runners on attack to generate the momentum they need to control the match and provide their halfback pair the space and time they need to execute the tactical kicks that will seek to gain favourable field positions.
Francois Hougaard's kicking game will again come under intense scrutiny and the Pumas are sure to have analysed the manner in which England pressured him into errors in June. With Heyneke Meyer unconvinced about Hougaard's ability to improve his tactical kicking to the required standard and leaning towards installing Ruan Pienaar, Hougaard needs a performance that will be rewarded with a stay of execution.
Morné Steyn's situation is not as desperate but Meyer has noted his poor form of late. Meyer does, however, believe that an extended break for Steyn, his first in three years, will rejuvenate him. I hope he is right because a confident Steyn will be essential to their cause in this tournament.
Overall, the Springboks will lack a little synergy but will still be far too good for the Pumas. The margin will narrow in Mendoza next weekend, though.

Duke had an extra week to prepare for Saturday's critical Atlantic Coast Conference game at Georgia Tech, which operates a triple-option offense known to give opponents fits.
"It gave us so much time to look and study that offense," Duke cornerback Ross Cockrell said. "I've thought about it. We've had a week off. (North Carolina) had a week off. It didn't turn out so hot for them."
So the Blue Devils were consumed during the past week about what it will take to slow down the Yellow Jackets in a game with Coastal Division title implications.
Georgia Tech is coming off last week's head-turning 68-50 victory at North Carolina.
"You just don't sleep after you watch that," Duke coach David Cutcliffe said. "A threat to score so many different ways. Our guys are excited about the big challenge, and it certainly will be one."
Defensive end Dezmond Johnson of Duke said the extra week to look at Georgia Tech's offense was followed by new clips from the North Carolina / Georgia Tech game. Defensive tackle Nick Sink said he watched last week's game on television and then twice on tape in the following two days.
"Sixty-eight points for an option offense," Sink said. "I was shocked."
So the Blue Devils have been busy studying in advance of the assignment in Atlanta.
"You have to study a lot of tape," Cockrell said. "Even if you study, it's going to be hard. If you guess wrong, you're in trouble."
The open date on the schedule last weekend was a godsend for the Blue Devils, Cutcliffe said, even if they had to watch their next opponent play nearly flawless on offense.
"We're much better served by having an open date," Cutcliffe said. "It ended up being perfect. We had a stretch where we got so beat up it made it difficult."
Then comes that warning again, with full knowledge that the extra preparation time doesn't guarantee a thing.
"It wasn't as effective as they would have liked at Carolina," Cutcliffe said.
There is a realization that it won't be easy to totally curtail the Yellow Jackets.
"If they don't turn it over, they're going to score points," Cutcliffe said.
But Duke's offense, albeit rather ragged at times the past couple of games, can put up points as well. That will be the goal this time against a Georgia Tech defense that has shown cracks along the way.
For the Blue Devils, it's tournament time.
Consider Saturday's game the semifinals in the Coastal Division. A victory would put Duke in another must-win encounter next week against visiting Miami in what would amount to the Coastal Division final.
"I call it the tournament. We are in the tournament now," Cutcliffe said. "People that win the tournament or a playoff as they like to call it, we are in it right now.
"It has been great fun to carry our season into November (and) mean significant things. We're in the 11th game. When you have these types of opportunities, you best pay attention to them and take advantage. It's got to be fun. If it's not fun to do this, we have to rethink what we're doing."
It's just not easy viewing a matchup with Georgia Tech as an enjoyable experience.
Lost in some of the fallout from Georgia Tech's last game is the fact that the Yellow Jackets gave up 50 points to North Carolina.
"We want to keep it under 50 points," Johnson said. "Nowhere near it, actually."
Duke nose guard Sydney Sarmiento said Duke should be in good shape if Georgia Tech surrenders 50 points again.
"I would hope we would win," Cockrell said.
