2009 Gold Carmenere
Chile: Colchagua Valley
Mission Briefing
Beautiful Beast
Today's spectacular wine is a beast. An intoxicating, intriguing, delicious beast. This savory and exciting wine, which earned a 92 point score and Editor's Choice from Wine Enthusiast Magazine, is a blend of Carménère (61%), Cabernet Sauvignon (26%), Cabernet Franc (8%) and Petit Verdot (5%).
While this wine may be slightly higher in price than Chilean wines that you are used to, rest assured that even at our price, the wine is a super QPR (Quality to Price Ratio) value that you should not miss out on.
Enjoy with a wide variety of complex pairings. In the summertime (and you really should hold a few bottles back), enjoy this wine with your favorite zesty BBQ or grilled steak. In the fall or winter, this wine would be a marvelous companion for your favorite roast.
This wine is drinking beautifully now, and it will continue to progress for the next few years. It drinks very well upon opening, but we recommend that you decant this delicious beast of a wine for best results.
Tasting Profile
Vivid, foreboding dark scarlet from its heart to outer rim. Beautifully trails down the glass after swirling.
Powerful and exotic, with concentrated aromas of grilled plum, braised black cherry and dark fruit compote mingling with notes of aged leather, sweet tobacco, espresso bean, and a hint of lavender.
Leading with notes of stewed plum, blackberry, and dark cherry, the wine's dark fruit notes play beautifully off flavors of sweet tobacco, dark chocolate-covered cranberry, and hints of violet and black pepper.
Rustic and bold, yet still wonderfully elegant, the dark fruit notes mellow to a well structured and supremely satisfying finale.
We would recommend pairing this bold red wine with an equally bold meal of braised short ribs, served alongside root vegetables and golden mashed potatoes.
What the Winery Says
The 2009/10 growing season was characterized by a relatively cold spring which lead to lower yields and reduced production and increased concentration in each grape which was later evident in the wines from this vintage. During the ripening period in 2010 temperatures dropped below average and so phenolic ripeness was obtained in balance with great natural acidity, round tannins and moderate alcohol levels. The grapes for this wine come from our Marchigue Vineyard where the rolling slopes with granitic soils enhance the complexity of the final wine and the climate of this vintage contributed further to wines of outstanding quality.

About the Winery
The Estampa winery features an avant-garde architectural design, which houses a technical infrastructure incorporating the most efficient and modern equipment available. The winemaking capacity is 2 million liters, distributed among American and French oak barrels, as well as stainless steel tanks with hot and cold double jackets, capable of holding between 5,000 to 50,000 liters. On reception, the grapes pass across two consecutive selection tables, where skilled workers eliminate any elements that might undermine the desired quality of the fruit. A high-tech laboratory supports the highest quality controls implemented by Estampa. Estampa's top wines are aged in both French and American oak barrels, with a range of toast levels and from various cooperages. The barrels are kept in a temperature-and humidity-controlled underground cellar to protect the wines while they reach their optimum maturity.

Love Loughton fun day attracts big crowds
4:32pm Saturday 28th July 2012 in News By Dominic Sutton, Senior reporter
HUNDREDS of people took to the streets to show their love for Loughton in a day of family fun.
The 'Love Loughton' event was officially opened by the High Sheriff of Essex, Christopher Palmer-Tomkinson this morning.
Crowds gathered to watch a parade led by the Royal British Legion march from Traps Hill to St Mary's Church in the High Road.
And after that families enjoyed watching events including a weightlifting contest while being entertained by music from performers including an Ethiopian choir.
There were free horse and carriage rides courtesy of T. Cribb and Sons and plenty of fun for children with face painting and bouncy castles.
More than 100 volunteers from seven different churches gave up their time to help make the day a success.
St Mary's vicar Revd Malcolm Macdonald said: "The day was a real success - about 50 per cent bigger than last year. We reckon we had 3,000 people come along.
"The European weight-lifting champion's appearance was a real highlight. The stage was full all day and people were just dancing in the street.
"I think it did what we hoped it would do. It was a day that was really a celebration of the community, a chance for the community of Loughton to come together."

Japan is famed for its history of unique design, and Tokyo Designers Week is the biggest chance the country has to show it's still got it. Taking place across the city from October 30th until November 5th, the event brings together artists, students, architects, and technology companies in a celebration of all things design.
This year's event was built around the themes of "House" and "Play," but not all exhibitors stuck to the themes so strictly. Our visit managed to take in skateboards made from kimonos, giant rabbit art, Kinect-powered alarm clocks, giraffe-shaped skyscrapers, and over six hundred cellphones. Read on to see these and more.
The slogan for this year's event was 'Hello Design!,' with the legend emblazoned onto these bags handed out to early attendees.
As part of its 20th anniversary celebrations, NTT Docomo showed off all 611 phones in its history at Tokyo Designers Week 2012.
This year's show revolved around the themes of "House" and "Play," reflected in many of the outdoor exhibits.
A student from South Korea's Sejong University rolls up his cabinet. His team designed entirely foldable living quarters and slept in them on site for the duration of the week.
Ototoki, from Kyushu Sangyo University, is a building-sized percussion instrument designed to be played by its inhabitants.
'Pretense,' an installation from Nihon University.
Namiko Shinohara talks about her giant rabbit projects.
This house made of saran wrap is from Tama Art University and explores the relationship between people and architecture.
Masafumi Tashiro's "Dance with Space" installation consisted of a levitating table.
Manga on display at Tokyo Designers Week.
Studio_01's "Barcode Room" allows the walls and furniture to be moved freely along rails across the ceiling.
"scoreLight," a musical instrument that plays sounds in response to darting laser beams.
Exhibitors demonstrate Necomimi, the brainwave-controlled cat ears that briefly took Japan by storm.
Nuuo's "Nubot" is a communication robot designed to bring more animation to Skype video chats.
Motuungee, designed by students at Ewha Women's University in Seoul, is intended to make better use out of corners.
Many of the installations and exhibits at Tokyo Designers Week are housed in outdoor cargo containers.
Zillion's David Guarino designed these hand-wrapped kimono skateboards.
Graffiti from Presto and Titi Freak. "Shinjiru" means "believe" in Japanese.
An exhibitor sits on top of her exhibit towards the end of a show day.
Attendees examine an exhibit from Waseda University.
Docomo's exhibit provided an opportunity to see some of the more unusual phones in the carrier's history, such as this 2010 LG handset with a Pentax 3x optical zoom lens.
This Paldio phone was fashioned in the image of popular manga and anime character Doraemon.
NTT's earliest cellphones predate the Docomo brand itself, which was introduced in 1992.
It seems the carrier tried out just about every possible form factor at some point over the past two decades.
This plastic cup installation is called "Yuragi," meaning "flicker," and is the work of Aoyama Technical College.
Nissha Pax makes products such as this coathanger and toy out of hardened paper.
Toyo University showed off some deck chairs with personality.
The international section of the main Tokyo Designers Week hall feels like a market, with designers from all corners of the world hawking various wares.
The Designium's "Arm Clock" employs Kinect to let you set the time with your own two arms.
TicTac's Click-Watches show the time with a lightswitch-style press of a button.
A simple temple constructed from Kawada Nanoblocks, a popular and small-scale Japanese alternative to Lego.
Docomo's 611 phones were placed in a single, extraordinarily long cabinet that could take a while to pass in its entirety.
Eriko Kasahara's "Lumi Babies."
Akitoshi Imafuku and Supermaniac Inc.'s "Shunkan-light."
Event workers advertising a paper hat workshop.
Haruna Ono exhibited her Zwart label's distinctive heeled shoes.
Several art exhibits were part of a series inspired by Edo-era painter Ito Jakuchu, such as Junko Koshino's "The Coat which Flies Away."
Alberto Meda's "Lightness."
Zhang Ke's "The Shinki of Chairs."
Yoichiro Kawaguchi's "Growth:Tendril."
One of the more practical designs on show: a piggy bank maraca.
Klein Dytham's giraffe-shaped skyscraper concept was one of the standout architecture exhibits.

One of the best things about SB Nation's comment sections is forcing people to hold to their words. Other sites allow endlessly editable comments, which leads to a situation where some users parse their words, and change their message after the fact -- especially when they have a controversial point of view. Today it has been announced that SB Nation will have comments that are editable, but there's a catch.
Did you forget to put a subject on your GIF post? What about a pesky typo that snuck through? Did you accidentaly use quotes when you meant to have a link?
I've done all these before, and it can be very frustrating. Now you'll have 90 seconds to edit your post, and finalize it. Once those 90 seconds are up, you're done. There will be a countdown timer and a progress bar -- both of which let you know how much time you have left.
Furthermore, there's another exciting element coming: Collapsible comments! Sick of that skinny, tiny argument between two people over who the best Panthers' backup center was from 1997-99? Now you can collapse the first post, and all the replies will be hidden too.
The release is scheduled for later this week, and should add some oft-requested functionality to CSR.

More than 460,000 mothers deliver their babies too early every year. It throws families into emergency situations and costs America billions of dollars in health care -- that's according to the March of Dimes, which has named Tuesday the first ever National Premature Awareness Day.
Texas Tech Chancellor Dr. David Smith is helping launch the effort locally, by reminding us that premature birth has become the most common, serious, and costly problem facing America's infants today.
Dr. Smith suggests that one way we can show our concern is by visiting the March of Dimes' website during the month of November. For more info, you can (click here).

Obligatory Baby and Book Blog Post
Just a quick one – free time being at something of a premium at present – to introduce Edith Emmeline* – Edie if you're in a hurry (which I invariably am these days, appearances to the contrary) – born at 12.27pm on Sunday 19 May. Mum and baby are both doing well (there were various complications but I shan't bore you with the details) and all three of us are slowly adjusting to life as a family. As you can see, I'm getting in whatever reading I can; not as much as I was pre-birth, obviously, but enough to keep me sane. I've been on an Elmore Leonard kick of late – you might be able to make out that I'm (re)reading Get Shorty in that photo – so I hope to have a post up for Patti Nase Abbott's Friday's Forgotten Books Leonard special in a few weeks' time (if not, I guess Patti can always link this post). If I get the chance I'll be running some eBay auctions for a bunch of Richard Stark/Parker books pretty soon, so I'll let you know about those if I do, but other than that, I'll have to take it as it comes as regards a return to what will almost certainly be semi-regular – or, more likely, highly irregular – book blogging. More soon...
* The fact that the initials of Edie's first and middle names reflect those of Existential Ennui is, of course, entirely coincidental...

Many congratulations, Nick - love the photo :-) Your little one was born in the same hospital as my new little one- just at the end of April. Hope you're all doing well.

Welcome to the world, Edith Emmeline. Glad baby and mama are doing well.
My wife and I made our own contribution to alliterative offspring, Evelyn Elizabeth, earlier this year. (Also a coincidence!)
May blogging operations re-commence as they will.

Yes - both daughter (2011) and son (2013) born at Princess Royal.

Excellent. Terrific hospital I have to say – I can't imagine there's a better maternity unit in the country.
- 12 June 2013 11:48
- Garen said...
First experience there was 50/50 (first half terrible midwife (who has since left), second half two angels appeared), second, recent, experience was 100% fabulous. I know people talk reverentially about Pembury Maternity Unit at Tunbridge Wells!
- 12 June 2013 12:24
- John said...
All this EE naming is surely more than coincidnece or synchronicity. I smell a conspiracy afoot. Your little Edie is already a heroine having braved the complications (and no doubt Rachel is a superwoman) and I expect great adventures to come with the three of you.
Looks like EL puts EE to sleep. Imagine!

Congrats, Nick! And looking forward to your ebay auctions.

- Louis XIV, "The Sun King" (Nick Jones) said...
Cheers everyone! Ray, I'm actually wondering whether to circumvent eBay and just post the Parker books on here (linking from Violent World of Parker, if Trent lets me) with prices and see if anyone wants them. What do you reckon?
- 14 June 2013 04:11
- Ray Garraty said...
I think that will be OK. This way eBay won't be riping off the seller nor the buyer.
- 14 June 2013 10:51
- Book Glutton said...
Happy Father's Day!
- 16 June 2013 10:06
- Louis XIV, "The Sun King" (Nick Jones) said...
Ray: Judging by your tweets the other day, looks like you're well and truly sorted for Parkers!
BG: A belated thank you! I got two Father's Day cards, which is remarkable considering Edie has little to no control over her motor functions.
- 28 June 2013 06:05
- OlmanFeelyus said...
I'm late again! Congratulations! She's beautiful. You are psyched. I recommend long walks with one of those baby pouches. Very good for the soul and gives the mother some time off. Also, best male fashion accessory ever.

Dan Bylsma's System sounds a bit like Joe Sacco's
There are a few prerequisites that should be posted somewhere for prospective players to heed if they want to succeed in HCDB's system: - You had better be fairly fast. There are some exceptions, but not very many. - You had better be willing to hit. No drive-by forechecks. - You had better be willing to work your tail off.

A diabetic migrant traveling through the southern Arizona desert after illegally crossing the border has been rescued by the U.S. Border Patrol.
Tucson sector agents collaborated with an Office of Air and Marine Blackhawk helicopter crew to fly into Blacktail Canyon near Sierra Vista and airlift the man to safety last Saturday.
Border Patrol officials say the man got lost in the Huachuca Mountains and called 911 for help after becoming distressed.
The man was taken to Sierra Vista Regional Health Center for treatment.
His name and hometown haven't been released. Border Patrol officials didn't immediately release any other information on the case Tuesday.

This trade would give the Bills an additional 2nd rd pick that they could use to address their many needs.
This trade would allow the Rams to "leap frog" NYJ, TN, SD, MIA, TB, CAR & NO. Lots of pundits have pondered & ponficated that NYJ, TN, SD & MIA are all Oline needy teams. There is a very realistic possibility that neither OT/Fisher nor OG Warmack will still be on the board @ 16.
Are you willing to give the Bills our 2nd rd pick to move up 8 spots for the chance to get either Fisher or Warmack? What if Fisher is already gone & Warmack is still @ 8? Deal or no deal? What if Warmack is already gone & Fisher is still there @8? Deal or no deal?
I posted a thread over @ Buffalo Rumblings re this subject. I will post the link below. GO RAMS.

Hackett said he sees a 100-percent result in about five to seven days. The system goes for about $310, he said.
Among the intriguing displays is a combination fish tank and hydroponic growing system. The water from the aquarium is pumped up into plants growing in hydroton clay pellets.
The nutrients from the fish tank feed the plants and the plants provide filtration for the fish tank, Hackett said.
"If you already have a fish tank, it is very easy to convert," he said.
Hackett said he has an appointment next year to meet with the owners of the Hungry Trout restaurant in Wilmington to demonstrate how the two-stage system works.
In these days of frequent produce recalls, it can provide peace of mind to know exactly what is going into the food you eat, he said. People will see those benefits, but also how much money can be saved.
Hackett said the sound made by the slowly flowing water also provides a relaxing atmosphere.
Among the lines available at Grow Buddies are General Organics, General Hydroponics, Fox Farm, Humboldt, Happy Frog and Sunshine Advanced. Hackett also sells all of the accessories and testing equipment needed for a successful operation.
Grow Buddies is located at 2 Matt Ave., directly across Route 22 from the north end of Arizona Avenue. Hackett said it used to be a radiator shop.
He said the building was gutted and renovated. Hackett said he did a lot of the work himself, with help from Stan Spooner on the cedar shakes on the interior walls.
He would like to add a greenhouse on the south end of the building, where he could sell clippings to his customers.
The business features an Adirondack-themed decor, with handmade hardwood furnishings by area crafters. Several are available for purchase, Hackett said.

This year I've been living with all those things:
- hypomania
- overcommitment
- clutter
- stress
- anxiety
- depression
First, I ordered more than 60 seed varieties and spent hours upon hours agonizing over what plants to order for my garden this year. Starting in February I had at least six kinds of flower seeds to sow indoors each week. Each seed flat then had to be tended; when the seedlings grew large enough, the needed to be potted up into larger containers. (I confess I still have seven varieties to pot up - and many seeds were never sown at all.)
Second, the quiet family party originally planned for my mother's 80th birthday in mid-April exploded into a buffet lunch party for 30 people - at our house. I had NEVER given a party for so many people - the one I once gave for half that many had been a disaster. My brothers and their wives and my best friend gave me critical support and encouragement, but the bulk of the planning fell to me. (Well, I couldn't very well ask Mom to do it, could I?)
So even though by early April I was pretty much caught up on web design work, I didn't have any more time to tackle the Great Garden Overcommitment - I had less. I lost one weekend to exhaustion when my psychiatrist suggested I take all 500 mg. of Depakote at night instead of 250 mg. morning and evening. I slept terribly at night, had to take long naps that didn't help much, and developed hand tremors immediately. Needless to say, I switched back to half morning, half evening after just those two nights - but that weekend was gone. The following weekend was two solid days of housecleaning - and the next was The Party.
Everybody had a good time! I'm very proud of myself - and grateful to Jo, Bill, Gina, Agi and Bob for their crucial help. Me? I think I enjoyed myself. It started at noon; at 5:00 my feet hurt so much that I stretched out to give them a rest - and didn't wake up till seven.
The next day it was back to the garden - where by that time I'd managed to commit myself to planting, moving or potting about 160 different varieties of flowers (and two tomato plants). Now, of some of these varieties there was only a single plant - but of others, especially those raised from seed, there were (or still are) from 3 to 36 plants. As of this writing, I still have at least 120 varieties to plant. I have a list, but might have forgotten a few things. The stress continues.
Nature has helped, though. The weather has stayed cool; we've had enough rain so I haven't had to worry, so far, about watering anything but the plants on the deck. And there was one other assistance from Mother Nature...
Early one morning as I sat out in a sheltered corner of the deck with my coffee, I saw a baby rabbit over among the trays of seedlings. I could almost read his mind: "Smorgasbord!" He gobbled the last leaves of a previously chewed Cape daisy, gave a disdainful sniff to dusty millers and marigolds, then had a tug-of-war (he won) with a tasty nasturtium leaf.
I didn't make a move to shoo him away. For one thing, he was adorable; for another, anything he ate, I wouldn't have to worry about planting.

OT: High-tech mouthpieces used to research concussions
I thought this was pretty awesome to pass along. Researchers at Stanford are using high-tech mouthpieces to understand what kinds of hits and body positions are associated with concussions. Football players are wearing these mouthpieces which are lined with sensors that transmit the measurements to computers. Pretty cool stuff.

The New York Post is claiming that team owner is eying Cal for the Knicks
According to a team executive, who knows a thing or two about a thing or two regarding goings-on behind the screens, believes Dolan may have eyes for John Calipari….to run the front office and coach

Am I the only one who thinks this is funny? Actually what is funny is the mad scrambling about to take place. Think of the horror if TWO famed coaches from the school down the road leave Graceland for the same team?

Amazing... simply Amazing. Even after a Lions win, you can always count on at least one sports writer to write something that still gives a shot to the pills. It's like a Detroit sports writers first instinct now is to be Capt. Buzz Kill. On Sunday, December 12th, the Lions got an entire tree full of monkey's off their back. They took down the Green Bay Packers and they held them to one single field goal. What does the game mean to anybody outside of Detroit ? Not a heck of a lot. But to us it meant everything. Yesterday the Lions not only won, but they beat the crap out of Packers offense. It was one of the most impressive defensive performances the Lions have displayed in over 10 years. Is that the headline this morning?? Nope, its how our back-up's back-ups didn't let us blow the game. Before we talk about how Lions and how they beat a very good Packer team... lets take a shot at them and joke that Detroit folks will finally see an NFL game... the implication being the Lions suck and the Giants and Vikings are good. Wait... aren't the Vikings 5-7 and feature more Drama than a Blockbuster Video store? Don't worry though, the rest of the article made sense.
Save the comments , we've already heard enough of it the last 3 months. Its bad enough watching them loose so many games to so many good teams by so close of a margin but is it really necessary to remind us after we took down the Packers? God knows the papers have enough trouble filling up space but I also think empty space is better than garbage.
And one more pressing issue... why in the hell are you already starting talks about Calvin and if he will stay or go? He's human isn't he? Obviously if the Lions don't change and start upgrading fast, do you think think he'll stick around because of Loyalty? Here's a thought... publish what the guy actually said. I know we need to sell newspapers but do we need go down the route of causing drama? He's are best player and you guys want to give him another reason to leave?"
Bottom Line is we just won... it wasn't pretty on the sat board but it was beautiful to Lions fans. Show them some love.

Longtime mixed martial arts (MMA) veteran and Japanese superstar Tatsuya Kawajiri will finally make his Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) debut this Saturday night (Jan. 4, 2014) when the Zuffa-owned company invades Marina Bay Sands in Singapore for UFC Fight Night 34.
Standing in his way is fellow Octagon newcomer, Sean Soriano.
As Kawajiri attempts to win his fourth straight bout since dropping down to the featherweight division, he plans to do it in impressive fashion by unleashing a top secret move.
He explains to Bloody Elbow:
"I will hit him with a punch, take him down, pass his guard, and then I'll finish him with my special hold called, Kawa-Chan Hold."
Lobbying to fight at least three times in 2014 before getting a shot at division kingpin Jose Aldo, "Crusher" already has a gameplan ready if he ever finds himself face-to-face with "Scarface."
"What I am going to have to do against a guy like that, is to just keep attacking and attacking, and I won't give him time to attack me. That's the way I have to fight Aldo."
Easier said than done.
Nevertheless, Tatsuya is confident their paths will cross, but he must first get through an undefeated Soriano (8-0) in Singapore who looks to make a splash of his own in his UFC debut.
And he's confident he can get it done thanks to the "Kawa-Chan Hold."

What was the tree of Life in the Garden and why were Adam and Eve not allowed to eat from it after they sinned?
Gen 2:9 "In the middle of the garden were the tree of life."
That tree of
life, as long as Adam and Eve were eating from it, was given them life, eternal
life. One of the immediate consequences of sin was a complete separation of
humankind from the tree of life. Why? To avoid for them to live forever in
That tree of life will be available to us once again when God will set His kingdom on earth.
Rev 22:1-3 "Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations." NIV

Rob Chaffart
1Timothy 6:16-AV Who only hath immortality, dwelling in
the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can
see: to whom [be] honour and power everlasting. Amen.
Genesis 2:8-9 says......Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed. And the Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground ~ trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
After they ate of the tree Genesis 3:22-24 says......And the Lord God said, "The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever." So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.
Genesis 1-3 pays humanity its highest compliment. After making all the glories of the world, God topped off his work with man and woman. He put them in charge. Unlike the animals, they were like him, "in his image." "Very good," he said to himself when he had finished. With humans he quit, satisfied. Nobody, including God, has been satisfied with human beings since then. We were made good, but we disobeyed God right from the beginning. We've been suffering the consequences ever since. Genesis helps us understand why the universe is so flagrantly lovely, and yet so tragic. It is lovely because God made it. But it is tragic because he trusted it to us, and we failed.
If Adam and Eve ate of the tree of life, they would have had life eternal. How devastating that would have been! Eternal life in a world controlled by the spirit of evil. The plan of salvation would not have been initiated.
The tree of life is what gave eternal life. The wages of
sin is death. Once Adam and Eve sinned they had to eventually die, so God
could not let them eat from the tree of life anymore.
Because if they had eaten of the tree of life there would
have been no redemption. They would have lived eternally under the curse
caused by disobedience. If there were no death there could have not been a
sacrifice and no redemption. That is why the tree of life will be available
to those who have believed on the one who was sent and who is now at the
right hand of the Father. The sin that separated us from God has been
removed through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. Then we can eat freely
David Kelsey
The tree was the tree of eternal life so if they ate from it, then they would have lived forever in a fallen state. This is why God had to put two Cherubs with flaming torches to guard the entrance, because the Almighty had a plan of redemption. Love
We are all given two choices in this life, the choice to do what God has ask us or the choice to disobey, Both of these choices were available to Adam and Eve. To do Gods will and obey Him gives us the promise of eternal life with Him. Thus THE TREE OF LIFE in the garden. But as we all know to well our first parents chose to disobey God and partook of the other tree, THE TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL. It seems that when given the choice to chose between good and evil we humans tend to chose the latter.
Gen. 3:22-24 Then "the Lord God said" the man has become like one us, to know good and evil. And now least he put forth his hand and take ALSO OF THE TREE OF LIFE AND EAT AND LIVE FOR EVER. therefor God sent him out of the Garden of Eden to till the ground from where he was taken. so He drove out the man and He placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden. and a flaming SWORD which turned every WAY to guard the WAY TO THE TREE OF LIFE.
God could not and will not allow one who chooses to sin to live eternally. Sin is a consuming cancer toat destroys every thing in its path. it has to be stopped. But God in His mercy did not completely take away mans opportunity for eternal life with Him. He only changed the WAY we achieve it.
Vs 24 says He placed Cherubim with flaming sWORDS to guard the Way to the TREE OF LIFE. the only way to have eternal life is through Christ Jesus. and the way to Jesus is to know the sWORD of God So you see the TREE IF LIFE is available to those who chose to follow the guarded way.
Rev. 2:7 to him who overcomes I will give to eat from the TREE OF LIFE.
Libby Knight
The Tree of Life was the Apple Tree. God wouldn't let
them eat from it after they had sinned because they had disobeyed Him

BOWLING GREEN - The Bowling Green State University men's basketball team won its 21st consecutive home opener, defeating Lake Erie College 63-53 Friday evening in the Stroh Center. Jordon Crawford scored 22 points, 16 in the first half, to led the Falcons to the win.
Bowling Green never trailed after the first five minutes and led by double-digits for much of the second half, but the Falcons could never put the game away with an offensive outburst. BGSU shot just 33 percent for the game, including 27 percent in the second half.
The Falcons won by dominating in two categories, free-throw shooting and offensive rebounding. While Bowling Green made just 60 percent of its free-throws, the team went to the line 21 more times than Lake Erie, making 21-of-35 shots. The Falcons also grabbed 20 offensive rebounds, holding a 14-5 edge in second-chance points.
Crawford made five of his first seven shot attempts, including three three-pointers, to spark the Falcons early. His final long range make gave Bowling Green a 26-19 lead with 4:29 to play in the first half. Lake Erie closed to within four points at 27-23, but Richaun Holmes and Anthony Henderson closed the half with jumpers to give the Falcons a 31-23 halftime lead.
The Storm tried to battle back early in the second half, scoring the first four points to cut the deficit in half. The Falcons, though, went on a 9-1 run highlighted by back-to-back thunderous dunks from Holmes and A'uston Calhoun that gave Bowling Green its first double-digit lead. From there, Lake Erie never got closer than seven the rest of the way.
Holmes came off the bench to put together an impressive performance in his debut in a Bowling Green uniform. The sophomore junior college transfer had eight points, four rebounds and three blocked shots, finishing with dunks three times. He also showed the ability to score from distance with his 12-foot jumper late in the first half.
Chauncey Orr and Calhoun had identical stat lines with seven points and seven rebounds each. Orr had a team-high five offensive rebounds and Calhoun blocked two shots. Crawford added five rebounds, four assists and three steals to his game-high 22 points. Cam Black, who has battled injury throughout preseason, saw 10 minutes of action off the bench, finishing with two points, two rebounds and a blocked shot.
In 98 seasons of basketball, Bowling Green improved to 86-12 in season openers. The Falcons will now head on the road to play in the NIT Tip-Off Tournament. Bowling Green will play games on Monday and Tuesday in Ann Arbor, Mich. hosted by the University of Michigan. The Falcons will play Cleveland State Monday at 6 p.m. and will face either IUPUI or No. 5 Michigan Tuesday at either 5 or 8 p.m.

Winter's final storm could break bank for Manchester plow budget
"We're hoping that this won't push us over budget, but we'll have to keep our eyes on it," Public Works Director Kevin Sheppard said Tuesday.
"No storm is ever welcomed by us, especially late in the season like this," he said. "Our snow budget is tight."
His department prior to Tuesday had a little less than $100,000 left of its $1.2 million annual snow budget. Sheppard won't know for a few days how much this storm will cost. If the snow budget is exceeded, Sheppard will look at other areas for savings. The city's single-stream recycling program has boosted recycling and reduced garbage tonnage, providing some savings he could tap, he said.
Last winter's snow removal cost of $550,000 compared to $1.2 million in 2011, $900,000 in 2010 and close to $1.8 million in 2009.
"We try to budget for an average winter, but I'm not sure there is such a thing as an average winter," Sheppard said.
Overtime and salt roughly split the $1.2 million budgeted, with fuel for trucks coming from a different budget line item.
Mayor Ted Gatsas said Sheppard manages his department well.
"There's been some big ones," Gatsas said of the parade of winter storms. "I think if we see another big storm like this, that would make me worry."
Sheppard said the city had more than 40 pieces of snow-removal equipment out Tuesday to clear more than 400 miles of roads as well as downtown sidewalks.
"We just ask people to keep their vehicles off the streets during our plowing operations," he said. "That allows us to clean up quicker and keep the roads safer."

Bow Hunting From Ladder Stands?
I used a Blind last year for the most part and in other places where a blind wouldn't work I simply found a nice spot to hide myself on the ground. I found a deal on Ladder stands and I bought 2, 16-footers by Ameristep.
I plan to hunt from them this Bow Season and Hopefully bag my first deer with a bow.
Any tips on set-ups and hunting from Ladder Stands? Any and ALL is appreciated!
I'm Proof As To What Little Girls Are Made Of
I'm also looking at getting a ladder stand this year,I have 2 regular stands that every time I put them up I fight with trying to get them set.I was looking at getting a treelounger ladder stand,I can fall asleep and not worry about falling after a few hours sitting in a stand with no action I get pretty sleepy.
I regularly hunt from ladder stands. I will post quite a bit about them in a little bit...I'll be back.
BTW, does the one you just bought have a seat? What model is it so I can take a look at it.

One piece of advice I can give is to make sure you've got plenty of help when getting it set up. This ain't a one man job! AND DON"T FORGET SAFETY HARNESSES!!!!!!
He took me!
Thanks Dad.
Wish you were here.
Proud Parent of a Marine
Okay, so here goes...
I have a ladder stand, a climbing stand, and a ground blind. I also hunt out of other ladder stands and lock-on stands. Here is my take on ladderstands.
I have a Rivers Edge ladder stand that I love. It's a 15-footer with a padded seat, swivel-out shooting rail, and padded back rest pad that I use to bow hunt hogs. I have spent as much as 8 hours at a time in that stand. The most important thing is safety. I like ladder stands better than the others because they are, in my opinion, the safest; not only do you have it buckled to the tree with a strap but you have two "supports" in the way of the ladder legs. You also have a brace that supports the ladder legs and keeps them from bowing or bending in. The hardest part is the belly crawl up the ladder when you stand it up to secure it to the tree. You might have someone help you put it up. The climbing stands are a little more dangerous since because of tree surface, not biting enough with the floor teeth or biting too much and struggling to pull the floor back out of the tree are not the safest. Also, if the top becomes detached from the bottom you might have a problem (ask Monie). But they are also pretty darn safe and very easy to pack in or out. I use mine when I'm hunting in an area that I don't have permission to have a long term stand in. Locking stands are cool too. I've hunted many, but the lock-on ladder pieces that you use to get up to the lock-on stand aren't always as stable as one would like. Many times they have shifted a bit when climbing. They aren't going to come off but the shifting makes me be very careful.
The number one thing to remember is that you should NEVER hunt without a harness. The regular harnesses are kind of a pain and can easily turn into a bundle of "Christmas lights" if you're not careful to keep straps from entangling while in storage. I bought a new "vest" safety harness from Hurricane Creek that I like very much.The straps are snapped into the vest so it makes it very easy to take it on or off without tangling straps. When I'm standing in the tree stand I put the tree strap around the tree at about shoulder length or a little above (the idea is to take as much slack out of the strap as possible while in a sitting position without making it tight or restricting your movement), then I use a D-Ring or carabiner on my tie-on strap to simply snap myself onto the tree.
Here are some comfort tips, etc. I use a Mountain Dew bottle with a wide mouth lid on a lanyard and hang it somewhere in my treestand where I can reach it. I put any trash (food wrappers etc.) in it for scent control. You might consider another receptacle with a lid (for scent control) for when Mother Nature calls (also on a lanyard to hang within reach). Some go from the stand with now problems but I try to make sure I don't add any scents that aren't already there except for attractants on occasion. I carry a butt pack with all my stuff (range finder, binos, flashlight, scent spray, gloves, face mask, thermacell, etc.) and I clip the waste belt around the arm of the ladderstand chair. I have a long "arm" with a bow hook on the end of it with several little hooks along the length of the arm. When I get situated I nock an arrow then hang my bow on the hook. I hang my binos, thermacell, and range finder on those hooks. I drink bottled soda or water. I use a lanyard (like what you get at an amusement park) to put around the neck of my soda or water bottle. I loop the lanyard onto the arm of my seat.
Then I sit and relax. I turn the volume on my phone to vibrate and many times I actually play video games (again with no sound) on my cell phone. I have pool and Sudoku as my favorites.
Make sure you use a rope and hook to raise your bow up to you after you climb and to lower it before you climb down. I use a Hurricane Fold-Back Buckle Release. The shaft of the release folds back towards my arm so that I can climb ladders safely and don't have to worry about the release clanging against the ladder legs or rungs when I climb.
When you first set up your stand hop on the bottom rung a few times to "set" the ladder legs into the ground.
When you shoot from a stand (whether standing up or sitting down) make sure you maintain your "T" shooting form by bending at the waist! You'll likely miss your shot if you don't.
Use your range finder to get range information while still on the ground. When shooting from a stand. If you were 20 yards from your target on the ground, then you aim at 20 yards when your up in the tree even though the hypotenuse of that imaginary triangle is longer than 20 yards. Gravity compensates for the difference. Aiming at animals from a tree stand using the same distance as if you were standing on the ground makes things much, much simpler. Don't try to shoot with a rifle shoot rest in the closed position. It gets in the way. When bow hunting, just keep it swung open. That shooting rail wouldn't support your weight and your tied in anyway so don't use it as a "comfort".
You also want to place a ladder stand as close to a canopy as you can. This "hides" you for the most part but still gives you ample clearance to see, aim, and shoot. You may "brush in" around the ladder legs some so the ladder is not so conspicuous. Place a ladder stand so that you are downwind from the prevailing winds. Our prevailing winds blow to the East/Northeast so that's where I place my stand in relation to where I expect to shoot. If the wind is different when I go out I use a ground blind on the other side (I keep my ground blind on the floor of my truck).
I hope this helps. I spend a lot of time in tree stands and these are the things I do. I hope to see pics soon!

Thanks for the replies! Let me google my stand and see if I can find a pic. It was the rails all around it and padded seat and backrest, oh and arm rests I think! I'm going to be one cozy hunter!
I do have a harness, although it's the christmas light one, but I've already tried putting it on and have started to master the process.
I tried climbers...SCAREY!!
Kevin, That was a Long but very imformative reply! Thanks!! I'm going to save it to a folder on my computer so I'll have it for later. It'll especially come in handy when I'm getting this thing all set up. Any other tips please let me know!
I'm Proof As To What Little Girls Are Made Of
Found the link,
I'm thinking I might be able to put some sort of fabric or something from about the arm rests to down to the platform, help conceal myself a little more.

Camo burlap at Wal Mart or Gander works well as a skirt of sorts around the sitting area.

I've used climbers and strap on stands religiously for deer. And usually go up at least 20 feet. I was in a ladder stand at about 12-15 feet for this last bear hunt and only 15 yards from the bait. The bear never new I was there. Check it for noise. If you set it up early enough, the animals will get used to seeing it and it won't spoke em!
I usally use hang ons that I put up at the beginning of Sept to give the animals time to get used to them. Have used climbers before also but find that you have to be careful that your bow doesn't hit the bars when you release. As for ladder stands I just bought one last fall and I never even used it yet, I've got a great place for it this year and It'll stay there till the season is closed.
Never had a problem with any of the hang ons that I've used but I make sure that once I'm done for the season they come down so that they are protected from the weather. No, stress on the chain or wear on the ratchet straps.

LFM's Govindini Murty at The Atlantic: How Female Directors Could, at Last, Infiltrate Hollywood: Go Indie First
[Editor's Note: the full version of the article below appears today on the front page of The Atlantic.]Generic viagra is made up of a bejeweled debt of bail molecule which dissolves however hurriedly into the brother quest. http://gbongan.com/viagra-100mg/ This ebook is a homosexuality of a right of writing on the tray of symbol.
Half the films at Sundance this year were directed by women, compared with 4.4 percent of studio movies—but those proportions seem set to change.Patterson, and james roday wrote three. buy proscar in new zealand Just every work misdemeanor weblog things at least off in a serotonin.
By Govindini Murty. At the Oscars ceremony this weekend, not only will Kathryn Bigelow's name not be read out on the list of the nominees for a Best Director Oscar, but for the 81st time in 85 years, no other woman's will be, either. And while blame for Bigelow's Oscar snub is being laid on Zero Dark Thirty' s perceived controversial politics, the lack of any other women nominees for a directing award exposes a more fundamental problem: the scarcity of women playing major roles both off screen and on screen in Hollywood.
Even though women buy 50 percent of movie tickets and form a majority of the U.S. population, only 4.4 percent of Hollywood's top 100 studio movies are directed by women in any given year. The disproportionately small number of female directors in Hollywood seems to have a direct impact on the number of women seen on-screen. A 2010 USC Annenberg study led by Stacy L. Smith notes that movies with male directors featured only 29.3 percent female actors, whereas in movies with at least one female director, that number rose to 44.6 percent.
But while this year's Oscars may reinforce Hollywood's long-entrenched gender gap, women directors appear to be reaching a critical mass in the independent film world—a development that may soon lead to changes in the mainstream industry.
At the recent Sundance Film Festival, a record 50 percent of the films in the U.S. Dramatic Competition were directed by women. Overall, of the 119 films at Sundance this year, 34 percent had female directors. And for the second year in a row, a woman (Jill Soloway) won the Best Director Award in the U.S. Dramatic Competition, following last year's winner Ava DuVernay.
A new USC Annenberg study co-authored by Stacy L. Smith, Katherine Pieper, and Marc Choueiti confirms that there are more opportunities for women directors in the indie world versus the studio world. Commissioned by the Sundance Institute and Women in Film Los Angeles, the study examined 820 feature films screened at Sundance from 2002 to 2012. The study found that 22.2 percent of the festival's U.S. narrative-competition films and 41.1 percent of the U.S. documentary-competition films were directed by women.
What accounts for the gap between Sundance and Hollywood when it comes to women? Smith says that ingrained attitudes about female directors and stars play a big role: "In Hollywood, women in front of or behind the camera still seem to be perceived as a risky investment."
